• <br />• <br />• <br />Mr. David M. Childs <br />June 2, 1982 <br />Page 6 <br />Condemnation proceedings and relocation efforts would then be commenced <br />concurrently and, if necessary, at a schedule to facilitate possession <br />requirements related to the project schedule. Every attempt would be made, <br />once actual condemnation proceedings commence, to be sensitive to <br />displacees. Condemnation hearings would be held as promptly as possible to <br />determine the ultimate public purpose findings and the condemnation <br />awards. <br />Up to the point of the actual commencement of condemnation proceedings, <br />the fee would be included in the monthly retainer under Phase IV of our <br />proposal. If it is necessary to carry out condemnation, the firm of Holmes do <br />Graven will be paid an hourly rate. In each case, based upon discussion with <br />Holmes do Graven, the City of St. Anthony will establish a dollar amount <br />which will constitute an estimate of the total legal fee to be incurred by the <br />City in connection with such matters. This estimate will be established on <br />the basis of the hourly rate schedule attached hereto as Exhibit "A". Prior to <br />billing the City in an amount in excess of such estimate, the firm of Holmes <br />& Graven will report to the City Manager the reason or reasons that the <br />estimate will be exceeded. Condemnation matters which are appealed to <br />district court, upon and after such appeal will be treated as litigation and <br />will be billed at an hourly rate over and above this estimate. <br />(6) Add any additional comments which you feel pertinent. <br />Holmes & Graven is pleased to have had the opportunity to respond to the <br />City's request for proposals. While we believe we have offered a full scope <br />of services in our proposal and hope that the City in its wisdom selects the <br />firm of Holmes do Graven, we would like to reiterate that we beleive we <br />have structured ',�= proposal in a manner which gives the City the flexibility <br />of choosing all or part of our services so as to best suit its coordinated <br />needs. <br />If there are any other questions or comments, please feel free to call. <br />Very truly yours, <br />�- <br />aures R.
