Explanation

1. BACKGROUND:
The requirements of the various review (FEMA and Reynoldsburg) agencies were more involved than anticipated by the consultant. The submission requirements for approval of the FEMA Conditional Letter of Map Revision (CLOMR) application required the consultant to recreate a 1977 stream hydraulic model previously generated in WSP-2 and submit the model results using HEC-RAS.

This extensive effort also delayed the anticipated construction date from 2010 to 2012, and did not include increases in the hourly billing rates for the consultant and wetlands subconsultant.
