<br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />Commission <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />Birch P. Burdick <br />Cass County State's Attorney <br /> <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />September 11, 2006 <br /> <br />RE: <br /> <br />Comments on SRF Proposal, dated September 6, 2006 <br /> <br />*****.*.*.*.****..*** <br /> <br />I offer the following comments: <br /> <br />. Page 2, at bottom: it indicates the sub-consultants costs are "estimates", and <br />may be adjusted up or down based upon actual costs. This would seem to <br />be rather uncertain. Those costs were not included in my copy, and perhaps <br />are relatively incidental. <br /> <br />. Page 3, at top: it indicates the County will be responsible for all project bid <br />opening costs, including, among others, "legal fees". I am not aware of any <br />legal fees likely to arise. If they are planning on incurring legal fees, then we <br />should know what those are and for what purpose. <br /> <br />. Page 3, near bottom: it indicates a project cost, and then says that any <br />additional services that may be requested "will be billed on the same time <br />and expense basis". However, it does not, at least in my copy, outline what <br />basis that is. If they simply mean a time-and-materials basis, that explains <br />the methodology, but does not mention at what hourly rate their "time" may <br />be (at least in my copy). <br /> <br />The comments above should not prohibit the Commission from authorizing the proposal. <br />However, they are my suggestions for clarifications. Otherwise it is approved as to form. <br />
