Re: Proposal for Completion of Professional Services
for Proposed Ken County Courthouse Renovations
Gentlemen:
MICHAEL
NEAL
WALKER
Please find the attached Proposal for your consideration, per your request. Since we have worked
for the County before, we trust that the thoroughness of our services are a known quantity;
however, we welcome an interview to present our qualifications, plus answer any other specifics
that the Commissioner's Court may have about our professional services.
Our firm with Maxey Associates performed the initial County Facilities Analysis in 1989;
therefore, we aze very acquainted with the existing facilities, functions and the personnel affected.
We also are experienced in dealing with the Historical Commission, which may play a role in this
project. As you aze aware from our recent Animal Facility Project, we have very complete 3-D
computer model visualization capabilities, if needed, which is unusual for most azchitectural firms.
As by-product of our services, you will also receive fully azchivable AutoCAD electronic files of
the basic buildings, which will avoid re-measure of existing facilities anytime work is to be
accomplished, drawings are misplaced, or information is needed, e.g., Christmas lighting.
It is our understanding that there is a general Request for Proposals being offered to other
azchitecturaVengineering firms. To be ethical and to adhere to your request for proposals, we
have only addressed the method of calculating fees, not the actual fee amounts. We would be
pleased to discuss actual proposed fees, if we aze selected as the Court's primary choice to do the
project, as appropriate under ethical protocol.
Thank you for your confidence in our firm to request this Proposal. I await your call if we can
clarify any questions concerning this Proposal. Our current workload permits us to act soon.
Sincerely, ~1 ~ ~(• , ~ I
