RE: Al in One Plus Project
Dear Brian:
Thank you for providing Epic Land Solutions the opportunity to propose on the above referenced project. It is our understanding
that the Qty is seeking anew location to construct anew Public Works Facility,so that the current Public Warks Building can
becorne a multi-stoned Qty Hall,and that the current Qty Hall property could be redeveloped into apartments. The first"domino"
is to find a site for the new Public Works Facility. The City has engaged a corrrnerdal real estate broker to search for a site or
several site options,and Epic would be responsible for negotiating the acquisition by either a voluntary process or by eminent
domain. If the proposed site is occupied,then Epic would also handle the relocation of the occupants.
Epic's fee will not exceed$25,850.00. The scope of work,fee,and Epic rates are attached. Please let me know if you have any
questions. Thank you for choosing Epic Land Solutions.
Sincerely,
