Re: Revised Fees for Proposed Scopes of Services for Fiscal Year 2001-02:
Tuscawilla Lighting and Beautification District and Oak Forest Assessment
Program
Dear Ron:
This correspondence is written to present a revised fee schedule for services provided
by Government Services Group, Inc. ("GSG") and Nabors, Giblin & Nickerson
("NG&NU). The original proposed fees were provided in two separate letters to the City
dated January 1 0, 2001 (Oak Forest Assessment Program) and February 2. 2001
(Tuscawilla Lighting and Beautificaiton District). GSG and NG&N submitted these
. proposals to provide specialized assistance to the City and its staff with the imposition
of assessments to fund improvements to the common areas within .Tuscawilla and to
provide annual administrative services for the Oak Forest assessment program.
We have provided for your review a revised fees and costs schedule for both projects.
The revised (ees represent a combined cost savings to the City of $6,000. For services
provided by GSG and NG&N, we will work under a lump sum professional fee
arrangement described in the attached fees and cost section. A lump sum method of
compensation eliminates any uncertainty in the total fee.
Please review the attached information. We are currently preparing our schedule for
the upcoming assessment season, and would appreciate your prompt reply. This will
help us t.o accommodate your requests and provide you with thoughtful and deliberate
attention to ensure the proper establishment of this successful recurring revenue
source. The execution of this letter agreement indicates acceptance of this proposal.
~pon execution of this agreement, please provide us with one certified copy for our
files.
