We will complete all forms in the application packet provided by North <br /> Carolina Department of Environmental Quality with the latest guidance,and prepare the required forms <br /> for signature by Board Chairman,Mr. McKee. Martin-McGill will be using a team approach,with Bill <br /> Cowan working closely with Alice Briggs and Rebekah East to provide all services.We will prepare the <br /> final application for submission and deliver it to the proper state officials.Our services will be provided <br /> for a fee of$6,500.00.This fee includes staff hours,travel time and technical assistance,and is exclusive <br /> of surveys and needed engineering assistance,as outlined in Exhibit A. <br /> We understand the importance of completing all tasks in a timely manner. The application <br /> deadline for the CDBG-I program is scheduled to be September 30;2016 and the application must be <br /> received in Raleigh at North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality's offices by 5 p.m.on that <br /> date. We are prepared to get started as soon as the final guidance for the next round of projects is <br /> made available to us. This depends on the timing for release by North Carolina Department of <br /> Environmental Quality. This proposal assumes that there will be no major changes to CDBG application <br /> guidance from the previous round in the fall of 2015. Thank you for this opportunity to submit this <br /> proposal for your consideration. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Jess a Martin <br /> President <br /> Cc: Elaina Cheek <br /> Ashley Moncado Page 1 of 2 <br /> Martin-McGill,Inc. • 55 Broad Street ■ Asheville,North Carolina 28801 ■ 828.255.0313 ■ Fax 828.252.2518 <br />
