Pre-bond election services are those necessary to prepare for, justify the need for and document the scope and cost of the proposed work. Ultimately, the client will wish to convey to the public that it can complete the proposed work with the amount solicited in the bond issue.

There are four major objectives and tasks associated with pre-bond election services. These services may be performed in conjunction with the clients and architect's staff and should be coordinated with the bond election campaign team.

Four Major Objectives and Tasks:

1. Conduct a condition assessment of all existing buildings, including roofs, finishes, mechanical,

electrical and plumbing systems. Once the necessary scope of work has been identified, The

Butler Group will input the data into a database including cost information and a narrative

description of the scope of improvements. An improvement summary and schedule of

completion will be developed for each of the projects for use in explaining the proposed benefit

to the public in support of the bond election campaign.

2. Verify that the total amount of bonds to be issued is correct for the verified scope of work

identified and the cost associated with the completion of the work.

3. Develop an implementation/management plan for the program. This plan will demonstrate how

the client will accomplish the successful design and construction of all the projects proposed in

the program.

4. Provide back-up information including schedules, documentation and to be used during the

bond campaign. All materials will be designed to be used by the client, their bond campaign

consultants and community volunteers, if appropriate, in order to communicate effectively the

intent and accuracy of the program.
