Good morning Laura, Along with the ESA/BDR Marshal Swamp task, I’d like to give a ESA task to Tetra Tech for both the attached properties. These are adjacent to the JJW property you provided an ESA on previously. The Perry Mason property is one parcel so the task will be for the standard contract rate $4,200.00. The Windmill Farms property consists of 5 parcels, so the task will be contract rate $4,200 + 4 additional lien/AUL searches. Can you provide me the costs for the additional 4 lien/AUL searches to include in the task assignment? Hoping to get these out this week. Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks, James Parker Government Operations Consultant III Office of Environmental Services, Division of State Lands Florida Department of Environmental Protection 3800 Commonwealth Boulevard, MS 140 Tallahassee, FL 32399-3000 850-245-3045 (Office) 850-245-2572 (Fax)

Thanks Laura. I’ll save in file for now. With the holidays, short week next week, and people on AL, I’ll have to wait until after Turkey day to get this task out. I think there’s another fee simple acquisition coming in the area of the JJW property you recently did for us, I may be able to get that one to you as well at the same time.

Good afternoon Laura, DSL is pursuing a conservation easement on the attached property. We will need to have an ESA/BDR conducted. Is Tetra Tech available to complete this project? If so, please provide an estimate for reimbursable travel expenses (per diem, lodging, mileage) as well as the costs for two additional AUL/lien searches as the property consists of 3 total parcels. These costs would be added to the contract rate of $7.75/acre. Let me know your availability and I can begin drafting up the TA. I have a request for boundary shapefiles and will provide those once received.
