Clermont, Florida
Dear Mr. Johnson:
We respectfully submit hereunder, our proposal to perform the
1960 assessment maintenance work for the information, guidance, and use
of the City Tax Assessor in preparing the 1959 Clermont Assessment Roll.
We propose to handle this work on the usual cost plus basis, with
an outside or limited price of ONE THOUSAND ($1, 000. 00) DOLLARS. That
is to say, we will handle the work for Direct (actual) Cost; plus Indirect
(overhead or administrative expense) Cost, to be computed at fifteen (15%)
percent of the Direct Cost and Profit to be computed at twenty (20%) percent
of the Direct and Indirect Cost; the total cost to the City not to exceed ONE
THOUSAND ($1, 000. 00) DOLLARS.
The work to be performed under this proposal will consist of the
following:
1. Revise the land assessment maps to show property ownership
boundaries as existed on January 1, 1960.
2. Revise the land assessment maps to show all new subdivisions
which are to be entered on the 1960 City Tax Roll.
3. Maintain the land assessment maps to show the latest land
units as may be determined by our appraisers.
4. Inspect, appraise, and complete property record cards for all
new buildings which are to appear on the 1960 City Tax Roll.
•
5. Inspect, re-appraise, and correct property record forms of
any and all structures which have had substantial alterations,
additions, or repairs made during the year 1959.
6. Appraise the business personal property of all new business
concerns, which are to appear on the 1960 City Tax Roll,
In addition to this, we will check any and all valuation complaints
and have a representative present at the 1960 Equalization Board meeting.
We will also fully cooperate with the City and its attorneys in the defense of
any and all suits at law or in equities, arising out of or resulting from any
appraisal made by our personnel, which shall be instituted within twelve
(12) months from the date of the 1960 Equalization Board meeting,
Should the City desire to have us perform additional appraisal
work, we agree to handle it on the same cost plus basis as outlined above;
however, the outside or limited price of $1, 000. 00 applies only to the work
as setforth above.
The outside or limited price is predicated on the City being re-
sponsible for performing the following work:
1, The City shall be responsible for the determination of any and
all properties which shall be assessed, re-assessed, or with
regards thereto, any record of the assessment system which
should be changed.
2. The City should maintain a file of each and every real estate
transaction pertaining to property within the City, which
occured between January 1, 1959 and January 1, 1960.
3, The City, for each and all buildings which were erected, razed,
moved, or altered in any manner between January 1, 1959 and
January 1, 1960, should obtain a building permit, and from
said permit, prepare and maintain an assessment roll file.

1959 and January 1, 1960.

appraisals made by this firm, should fill out a complaint
form, which should be turned over to our personnel.
6. In addition the procurement and maintaining of the above
stated records, the City shall keep all exempt files; do all
work in connection with auditing and writing the tax roll,
and the computing and billing of taxes.
Should the above proposal be acceptable to the City, a certified
copy of the resolution accepting the proposal will be all that we will require
to handle this work; however, if a contract is desired by the City, we will
be pleased to prepare same upon request.
Should you or the City Commission, have any questions concerning
the above work, do not hesitate to contact us.
We will consider it a pleasure to again have the opportunity of
serving your City.
