Subject: AEDA Legal Description and Mapping -Abonmarche Group
Date: May 25, 2010
In October 2009, the Commission approved a professional services proposal to hire The
Abonmarche Group to update and clarify the legal description for the Airport Economic
Development Area (AEDA). The original proposal was in the amount of $4,400. In
December, the contract was expanded by $3,500.00 and extended the contract to
$7,900.00 due to a large amount of problem descriptions and staff time required to clarify
the legal.
As part of the final process to get the legal description ready for inclusion in the Declaratory
Resolution 2657 (approved on March 5, 2010), an entire section of the legal needed to be
modified to make the direction callouts consistent with best practices. Additional related
changes also needed to be done to the associated maps. I had asked that the work be
done on a time and materials basis and then I would ask for a final closeout approval.
The total final amount necessary to complete the project is $3,815.75. Having met with the
firm on multiple occasions to clarify conflict issues, I believe that the final amount is
representative of the time spent on this project. Staff requests approval of the final closeout
amount of $3,815.75 for a total project amount of $11,715.75.
