SUMMARY OF ASSESSMENT TASKS.
Using the example of a fees proposal (Pages 2 and 3) in these study notes, set out a fees proposal on a business letterhead. If you dont have an existing letterhead, you may create a mock letterhead, but dont spend too long on this: it is NOT part of the assessment.
Make sure your fees proposal responds to the requests given in the Fee Request Letter,(Page 5) and explicitly states all your contract conditions. Go through the checklist of items necessary in a fees proposal and make sure you have adequately addressed all items- including inclusions and exclusions, and assumptions.
Finally, make sure your scope of works addresses the consent authorities requirements for DA submission. For the purposes of this assessment, assume your charge-out-rate to be $100, for simplicity. Do not include gst, again, for simplicity. If you wish to include co-workers in the project, use a charge out rate at $50 [for simplicity.] This assessment is not concerned with fees so much as appropriate contract conditions and scope of works- for a residential project.
Think about the end of the proposal
How do they say they want to use your services?
What do you require them to do, to get you to send them a contract?
This is not included in the sample.
