RE: Proposed Lake Drive North & South TIF Districts
Building Condition Assessments & Site Coverage Analysis
Dear Ms. Divine;
As per our phone discussion, we at Schoell & Madson, Inc. are pleased to present the following
fee proposal for your consideration of the above referenced projects. As per your Request for a
Fee Proposal, we would prepare a Building Condition assessment for each of the structures you
identified as being located within the boundaries of the two proposed TIF district. We will also
develop area coverage calculations from information we would collect from the County
surveyors office for the approximately 28.5 acre and 15.8 acre proposed district. We will also
attend an informational meeting for the affected property owners and planning commission and
City Council meetings to awnser any questions.
Inspection Phase:
If you accept our proposal, the City will notify all occupants requesting permission to enter the
premises. If granted permission by the property owners, we will conduct detailed inspections of
each structure's physical plant from both an environmental condition assessment as well as a
building code and structural condition assessment to identify substandard or non-compliance
conditions in each structure which the total cost of upgrading would exceed 15% of the cost for a
new structure. Photographic documentation of each condition identified will be taken for report
exhibits. We will also make ourselves available for residential inspections in the early evening
hours to accommodate residents work schedules where necessary.
Report Preparation Phase:
We will prepare individual sections for each structure in a single report for each of the proposed
TIF Districts. For each structure inspected, the report will detail substandard conditions and
contain rough cost estimates for all corrective remodeling or repair actions required to bring each
structure up to current building code standards or acceptable environmental conditions such as
removal of underground storage tanks, mercury containing equipment, or asbestos containing
materials. Structures that we are not given permission to inspect will also be identified and

determinations will be made regarding there condition, the reasoning for our conclusions will
also be discussed.
Exhibits will be prepared to document identified conditions used to justify the State's
`substandard conditions rule' to exceed 15% of a new buildings cost. We will also verify that the
district meets the required percent of coverage rule using the most current aireal photography
available overlayed to meats & bounds property descriptions provided by the county recorders
office.
COMPENSATION: We have made certain basic assumptions that we will fisically inspect all
the structures located with in the two districts and that we will be required to make multiple trips
to complete the inspections.
Both Reports:
$ 6,900.00 [not to exceed]
Reimbursable expenses such as plotting, printing, photography, delivery services, postage, and
mileage will be billed to you at cost plus a 15% administration fee. Reimbursable expenses are
over and above basic compensation. These costs should not exceed $200.00 under normal
circumstances.
Thank you for your consideration of our proposal. We look forward to working with you on this
project. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or need additional
information.
Very truly yours,
