Mr. Pat Klaers <br />August 12, 1997 <br />Con't page 2 <br /> <br />To estimate the cost of landowner negotiations is difficult. A number of variables enter <br />into it such as how well the project is received by the property owners, the impact of the <br />takings and if the owners are represented by attorneys. <br /> <br />Of the six parcels, two are zoned industrial and four are residential. The cost to secure <br />easements on the industrial parcels could range from $750 to $1,500 and the residential <br />parcels could range from $500 to $1,000. If we use the high range our estimate would be <br />$7,000. <br /> <br />We will work with your attorney on title and document conditions and this will not <br />increase the estimate. <br /> <br />Attached is our price schedule. We bill on an hourly basis for actual hours worked. Our <br />billings are twice a month, the 15th and the end of the month. <br /> <br />Next is the time schedule. Our activities can begin at any time. There are preliminary <br />activities that can take place before the appraisal and reviews are completed. The offers <br />and negotiations cannot begin until they are complete. I would than say that within thirty <br />days after the offer is made, it will be known if condemnation is necessary. <br /> <br />Last, I am attaching a description of our firm with our experience and qualifications and a <br />list of our clients. <br /> <br />We think this project will be challenging and we look forward to working with you on it. <br /> <br />If there are any questions, please call. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Stuart "Bud" Storm, SR/WA <br />President <br /> <br />SBS:bz <br /> <br />Enclosures <br /> <br />cc: Terry Maurer <br /> <br /> <br />
