Box 8181 <br /> Hillsborough, NC 27278 <br /> is <br /> RE: Review of Orange County Design/Built{ Construction Contracts <br /> I <br /> F <br /> Dearjohn: <br /> i' <br /> As we discussed yesterday, Smith Debnam proposes to provide any needed attorney review of <br /> Orange County's anticipated design/build construction contract(s) and related documents for <br /> the upcoming county construction projects, under the following the terms and conditions. <br /> We proposed to perform the needed review work on an hourly basis. I anticipate it would take <br /> no more than a maximum of ten (10) hours to review the two documents we discussed, provide <br /> analysis and suggest potential revisions, if any. My time will be billed at $230.00 per hour. As <br /> we discussed, I anticipate the project will take more than ten hours. However, if we believe the <br /> project will take longer than the anticipated ten hours, we will seek your approval prior to <br /> billing for any needed additional time, <br /> Smith Debnam will keep records of time expended on Orange County's behalf(including <br /> telephone conversations) and at the end of each billing period we will submit a statement for <br /> payment, which will describe the services rendered and the time incurred. We will submit <br /> statements to Orange County on a monthly basis, Bills for our services are generated at the <br /> end of each month and are payable within thirty(30) days from the date of each bill. It is the <br /> policy of our firm to charge interest at 1%2% per month on all invoices which are more than <br /> thirty (30) days past due. <br /> We will use Internet e-mail to communicate with Orange County and on behalf of Orange <br /> County during the course of the proposed representation. It is widely known that ordinary <br /> Internet e-mail is entirely unsecured. If Orange County would like us to engage in something <br /> more secure than ordinary Internet e-mail, please advise, otherwise we will presume that <br /> ordinary Internet e-mail is acceptable. <br /> Thank you for allowing Smith Debnam to present you and Orange County with this proposal <br /> ...................................... ........ .... ........... ..... <br /> 4601 Six Forks Road,Suite 400 Raleigh,North Carolina 27609 Mail> PO 8ox26268 Raleigh,North Carolina 27611-6268 919-250-2000 smithdebnamlaw.com <br /> i` <br />
