FEE PROPOSAL Mr. Joseph Barron May 31,1995 Page 3 of 3 From our meeting at the project sites and our initial review of the documentation you provided us, our work will be divided into the following phases: 1. Review of documentation provided including field visits to collect additional information if available. 2 Interviews of percipient parties on our side of the dispute. 3. Report to City Attorney of facts with recommendation of future strategy. 4. Implementation of strategy. Due to the difficulty in predicting the level of effort required in Phases 2 through 4, we propose that Phase 1 services be done on a time and material basis with a "not to exceed" without prior authorization of $5,000. Based on our discussion and the information you have provided me I feel this will be sufficient to cover the level of effort I foresee during this phase of the assignment. Once we have completed this phase of service we will be able to give estimates for each successive phase. Joe, I am excited about the opportunity of assisting the City of Huntington Beach in analyzing the facts surrounding the above matters. Should you select us, I believe you will find us professional and ethical, but at the same time creative proponents in pursuing your goals.
