with Marlowe & Company, as well as keep apprised of happenings in Washington. We <br />can also arrange for face-to-face meetings or other oral reports at your request for reasons <br />of updating you on the status of issues of concern to you while working out a common <br />strategy in approaching these issues. <br />6) Proposed Contractual Terms <br />We propose two contract options between Indian River County, Florida and <br />Marlowe & Company. The first option will allow us to begin working immediately on <br />behalf of the County so we secure federal funding for your study in the FY 2007 federal <br />appropriations cycle, which began in January, 2006. While this process has already <br />begun and we are a bit late in working on this request, we are not too late to be <br />successful. However, we must get started immediately. Under this option, we propose a <br />contract extending from May 2, 2006 through September 31, 2006. Our fee would be <br />$3,500 per month, inclusive of all expenses. <br />The second contract option would allow us to begin our work on behalf of the <br />County sometime in the late summer or early fall. This would allow us to properly <br />prepare for the FY 2008 federal appropriations cycle to secure funding for your beach <br />study. Under this option, we propose a contract beginning September 1, 2006 through <br />August 31, 2007 for a monthly fee of $3,650 plus up to $350 per month for any out-of- <br />pocket expenses we incur while working on behalf of the County. Therefore, this option <br />represents a not -to -exceed total cost of $48,000. <br />Any out-of-town expenses related to travel required by the County are not <br />included in this fee but will require the prior approval of the County. Also, either of <br />these contracts may be terminated without cause by either party by giving 30 days written <br />notice. <br />We hope one of these options is suitable to the County. <br />Sincerely, <br />Greg Burns <br />Vice President <br />10 <br />
