Ow proposed Project Manager, Dean Hart is based in Kansas City, Mi~ouri and would be your primary consultant raottree interface. Additionally, we have committed the service of other TCS personnel and the oversight of Dominic TLsa as a principal advisor. Should the City desire TCS to continue its support through procuremrnt and project implementation, Jack Hart (ow firm's most experienced project implementation manager} would supplemem the activities of Dean Hart, Allen Cutts and other support personnel, as may be nceded. Cot~uitant Rate Schednle The following describes ow normal fee stntcture for technical and snpport services that are performed on a time and exprnses basis.

All above-indipted time rotes for drafting and administrative apply. A spreadsheet detailing the cost associated with Phase I is included at the end of this Section. The total cost for Phase I is S 29,803.00.

However, since the scope and complexity ofthe actual impkmrntation is unknown at this time and is wholly dependent upon the conflgtuation/technok>gy ultimately selected by the pry, it is impossible ro give a meaningful, aavrate cost proposal for this future service. It should be noted, however, that Phase II procuranent and project implementation assistance costs can be estimated using ffie Phase I configurations once a direction has been established by the City. Typically speaking, rnnsultant costs related ro Phase II procuranem/impkrtxntation services are in the order of S.5 ro 6°/s of the project's contracted value. As a hypothetical example, for radio projects whose contracted cost is in the range of S3-Million, corresponding consultant fees for spetafication devebpment and on-site project implementation may be in the order of 5170,000. Where significant renovation to existing infrashucture site faalitks is also required, this fee percentage could increase depending upon the renovation's compltutity and scope. An advantage ro the City available through T'CS selection is the absence of travel related expense since our proposed technical personnel are local and resident to the area, This woukl allow a reduction in implementation costs to where the negotiated cost percentage would likely fall somewhat below S.SNe. in any case, this optional service would be based on a mutually acceptable scope of work and fee contingent upon project complexity and the delivery schedule proposed by the selected radio network vendor.
