Dear Mayor and Members of the Council:
This letter supplements the Agreement for Professional Services between City of St. Joseph, Minnesota, Owner,
and Short Elliott Hendrickson Inc. (SEH) dated July 1, 2006, and addresses providing Report Phase services in
connection with studying utility and street improvements for a new minor arterial street improvement between
Minnesota St and the easterly extension of Dale Street (hereinafter called the “Project”).
Our services will consist of conducting an investigation and preparing a feasibility report containing the findings of
the investigation along with our recommendations for the Project, identifying two geometric and typical urban
street section alternatives, identifying preliminary corridor right-of-way acquisition, street lighting (up to two
alternatives), water main, and storm water treatment needs, analyzing sanitary sewer collection and a new
sewage pumping station service area, preparing a preliminary opinion of probable project cost, and calculating
preliminary special assessment rates all as set forth in this letter and the Agreement for Professional Services
between SEH and City of St. Joseph, Minnesota, dated July 1, 2006.
We will also furnish such Additional Services as you may request or as required. Additional Services that may be
provided, but are not included in the proposed scope of work, include:
Conducting a public improvement hearing.
Preparation of a preliminary special assessment roll.
Boundary and topographic surveys.
You will pay us a fee for our services, currently estimated to be $26,700, in accordance with Exhibit C-2, Lump
Sum method.
Payment for additional services shall be based on the time required to perform the services and the billable rates
for the principals and employees engaged directly on the Project, plus charges for expenses and equipment, all
in accordance with Exhibit C-1.
We will start our services promptly after receipt of your authorization. We estimate our services will be completed

Your budgetary limitations for construction of the Project should be provided to us in writing at an early date. We
will endeavor to work within those limitations. Where appropriate, if the estimated cost exceeds the budget, we
will either request an adjustment in the budget or suggest a revision in the extent or quality of the Project to
assist in bringing construction cost back within the budget. We do not guarantee that our opinions of probable
construction cost will not differ materially from negotiated prices or bids. If you wish greater assurance as to
probable construction cost or if you wish formal estimates, an independent cost estimator should be employed as
provided in Section IV.A. of the Agreement and in Exhibit B.
This letter and the Agreement for Professional Services dated July 1, 2006, along with Exhibits A, B, C-1, and D
represent the entire understanding between you and us in respect of the Project and may only be modified in
writing signed by both of us. If it satisfactorily sets forth your understanding of our agreement, please sign the
enclosed copy of this letter in the space provided below and return it to us.
Sincerely,
SHORT ELLIOTT HENDRICKSON INC.
