Re: Letter of Engagement - Legal Services
Dear Mr. Lubovich:
Kussmann & Lindstrom, P.S. will perform legal services for the City as requested
by the City Attorney. The services shall include, but not be limited to, providing advice
and/or representation on labor and employment, litigation, and community and
economic development. I will be the lead attorney, but Roy F. Kussmann is also
available, depending upon the issues to be addressed, and/or to provide back-up.
My billing rate for the City of Bremerton is currently $200.00 per hour. Mr.
Kussmann would bill at the same rate when providing backup, but in the areas of
community and economic development, his rate is $230.00 per hour. Any rate
increases under this Letter of Engagement must be approved by the City Attorney.
In entering into this Letter of Engagement, Kussmann & Lindstrom, P.S. will
serve as an independent contractor and shall perform independent functions and
responsibilities within its field of expertise. Kussmann & Lindstrom, P.S. shall have no
authority to bind the City or to control the City's employees or other contractors.
Kussmann & Lindstrom, P.S. is responsible for all taxes and license fees necessary to
perform its obligations under this Letter of Engagement.
The Parties agree that this Letter of Engagement will continue in full force and
effect until terminated. The City of Bremerton may terminate representation at any time,
with or without cause, upon written notice to Kussmann & Lindstrom, P.S. Kussmann &
Lindstrom, P.S. reserves the right to withdraw from representing the City if fees are not
timely paid, or for any other appropriate cause.
Yours very truly, fh
_,
Edward R. Lindstrom
