(SEH) is pleased to submit this proposal for professional services for Property Redevelopment Eligibility Assessments. This proposal is for services to determine whether the qualification tests for tax increment eligibility (site coverage, building conditions) can be met. We have reviewed the building and area information you forwarded to us on October 14, 2002 and are confident that we will provide you the documentation necessary to comply with the required statutes (State Statute 469.174, subdivision 10). We have based the Scope of Work on the • use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) as a data resource and data gathering tool. The methodology for determining qualification eligibility has been used by this office for the completion of several other assessments in the metro area. The cost for conducting the assessments is estimated to be $21,050.00. This cost is based on the scope of work to assess an estimated 31 buildings and 48 parcels (refer to attached map, provided by City of Elk River). Compensation shall be on an hourly basis to the established maximum fee, not including ordinary reimbursable expenses (mileage, courier, reproductions,etc). We understand that it is desired that the assessments and report be completed in a reasonable amount of time after award of contract. We estimate that a project area of this size will require approximately 75 to 90 days to complete starting from the time you issue a Notice to Proceed. It is our experience that a `no response' rate from building owners is minimized or eliminated if more time is given to complete the assessments. To assist with the inspections, we request the following information from you, as is available: 1. A list of building related permits/public reports issued for each parcel over the life of the building. 2. A letter authorizing and explaining the purpose of the inspections (for distribution to all property owners). We can provide you with examples previously used for similar projects. 3. A parcel map of the area to be inspected(provided on October 14). 4. A list of all parcels including owner, current known business or resident name and address.
