As per your Request for a <br />Fee Proposal, we would prepare a Building Condition assessment for each of the structures you <br />identified as being located within the boundaries of the two proposed TIF district. We will also <br />develop area coverage calculations from information we would collect from the County <br />surveyors office for the approximately 28.5 acre and 15.8 acre proposed district. We will also <br />attend an informational meeting for the affected property owners and planning commission and <br />City Council meetings to awnser any questions. <br />Inspection Phase: <br />If you accept our proposal, the City will notify all occupants requesting permission to enter the <br />premises. If granted permission by the property owners, we will conduct detailed inspections of <br />each structure's physical plant from both an environmental condition assessment as well as a <br />building code and structural condition assessment to identify substandard or non-compliance <br />conditions in each structure which the total cost of upgrading would exceed 15% of the cost for a <br />new structure. Photographic documentation of each condition identified will be taken for report <br />exhibits. We will also make ourselves available for residential inspections in the early evening <br />hours to accommodate residents work schedules where necessary. <br />Report Preparation Phase: <br />We will prepare individual sections for each structure in a single report for each of the proposed <br />TIF Districts. For each structure inspected, the report will detail substandard conditions and <br />contain rough cost estimates for all corrective remodeling or repair actions required to bring each <br />structure up to current building code standards or acceptable environmental conditions such as <br />removal of underground storage tanks, mercury containing equipment, or asbestos containing <br />materials. Structures that we are not given permission to inspect will also be identified and <br />Affirmative Action Equal Opportunity Employer <br />10580 Wayzata Boulevard, Suite 1 • Minneapolis, MN 55305-1525 <br />Office (952) 546-7601 • Fax (952) 546-9065 <br />
