Mr. David Childs <br /> 2 June 1982 Page Four <br /> worked with the Dorsey firm and has high regard for their capabilities <br /> and specialty. Northwest has, however, worked also with 'an extensive <br /> variety of lawyers and is willing to work with whoever the HRA may <br /> choose for legal advise. <br /> The cost of legal services is not included in the fees proposed by <br /> Northwest. It is recognized, however, that legal fees could become <br /> extensive if not controlled. Therefore, prior to requesting or <br /> authorizing any legal service or advise, Northwest would request the <br /> Attorney to identify the individual to be assigned to a specific <br /> task and to identify a maximum cost for the service to be provided. <br /> (2) (g) Who will be responsible for handling construction management? <br /> Is the cost included in the fees as presented? <br /> Response: <br /> This ".is viewed as a broad question, covering a number of possible <br /> situations. From a very narrow perspective, it is anticipated the <br /> area public improvement projects will be undertaken. - In such cases, <br /> Short-Elliot-Hendrickson, serving as the City Engineer would be expected <br /> to design and inspect construction. In such instances, the costs would <br /> • be built in and made part of the specific project: <br /> On the more broad scale, assuming a private development, Northwest <br /> with the assistance of the City Building Official and Short-Elliot- <br /> Hendrickson, would provide construction, as well as contract management. <br /> To be emphasized is that Northwest would hold primary responsibility <br /> and does have a certified building official on its staff who would <br /> actively participate in this effort. Costs for this aspect of service <br /> have not been calculated, as the extent of development or improvement <br /> projects is unknown at this time. <br /> (2) (h) Who will be responsible for handling land surveys? Is the cost <br /> included in the fees as presented? <br /> Response: <br /> As Short-Elliot-Hendrickson does not specialize in this activity, <br /> land survey work would be bid. Northwest would prepare the necessary <br /> RFP's, distribute them to appropriate firms and assist the HRA in <br /> selecting a qualified service. While Northwest's fees for this work <br /> are included in the proposal , the land survey costs are not. Again, <br /> the extent of needed survey work will be determined as part of the <br /> first three stages of work, and therefore, a cost for this service <br /> cannot be suggested at this point in time. <br />
