** Initial Design Fee is required before a Cost Estimate can be prepared. After the Initial Design Fee has been paid, an Engineering Field Technician prepares a detailed Cost Estimate that includes costs associated with permitting, easement acquisition, required material to complete the job, and trip charges. When the Cost Estimate is completed, the Member will receive an Invoice. When the Invoice is paid, this payment is referred to as Aid-to-Construction. When job is completed, the Member could receive an additional Invoice due to unforeseen costs that arose during the construction process. |
