RE: Due Diligence Assessment of Baptist Church
Dear Wayne:
Jones Whitsett Architects is pleased the following assessment services to the City of Northampton of
the existing Baptist Church at 298 Main Street:
Review Building Code and Architectural Access Code compliance
Review of Mechanical Systems supporting Heating and Cooling
Review of Electrical Systems and Capacity
Review of Plumbing Systems and Capacity
Review of Fire Protection Systems and Capacity
Review of existing architectural systems and visible structural systems
Because this project is not in need of major renovation, the proposal is for an architect and MEP
reviewer only. This review does not include a review of roof, foundation or inaccessible spaces. The
team will respond to the materials that are visible and the information provided and cannot account for
undisclosed systems or incomplete work.
Our team for this project includes Mike Trczynski from Hesnor Engineering; and myself.
We will provide these study services for a lump sum fee of $ 7,000 and will work on an hourly, not to
exceed basis.
If extra services are required, they would be supplied on an hourly basis, at the following rates:
Architect$170/hour
Engineer$170/hour
Staff technical services $90/hour
We can begin upon Notice to Proceed, and if we have access to the building and site as needed, it
should be completed in 3 weeks.
Routine telephone, copies and facsimiles are included in the above fee. We bill upon completion of the
work. Payment is expected within thirty days, after which interest will accrue.
We are prepared to begin this work immediately. This proposal for services is good for thirty days from
today.
date:
Agreed:
Sincerely,
Dorrie Brooks, AIA, NCARB
Principal
Director, Planning & Sustainability

ELECTRONIC RECORD AND SIGNATURE DISCLOSURE
From time to time, City of Northampton (we, us or Company) may be required by law to provide
to you certain written notices or disclosures. Described below are the terms and conditions for
providing to you such notices and disclosures electronically through the DocuSign system.
Please read the information below carefully and thoroughly, and if you can access this
information electronically to your satisfaction and agree to this Electronic Record and Signature
Disclosure (ERSD), please confirm your agreement by selecting the check-
system.
Getting paper copies
At any time, you may request from us a paper copy of any record provided or made available
electronically to you by us. You will have the ability to download and print documents we send
to you through the DocuSign system during and immediately after the signing session and, if you
elect to create a DocuSign account, you may access the documents for a limited period of time
(usually 30 days) after such documents are first sent to you. After such time, if you wish for us to
send you paper copies of any such documents from our office to you, you will be charged a
$0.00 per-page fee. You may request delivery of such paper copies from us by following the
procedure described below.
Withdrawing your consent
If you decide to receive notices and disclosures from us electronically, you may at any time
change your mind and tell us that thereafter you want to receive required notices and disclosures
only in paper format. How you must inform us of your decision to receive future notices and
disclosure in paper format and withdraw your consent to receive notices and disclosures
electronically is described below.
Consequences of changing your mind
If you elect to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format, it will slow the
speed at which we can complete certain steps in transactions with you and delivering services to
you because we will need first to send the required notices or disclosures to you in paper format,
and then wait until we receive back from you your acknowledgment of your receipt of such
paper notices or disclosures. Further, you will no longer be able to use the DocuSign system to
receive required notices and consents electronically from us or to sign electronically documents
from us.
All notices and disclosures will be sent to you electronically
Unless you tell us otherwise in accordance with the procedures described herein, we will provide
electronically to you through the DocuSign system all required notices, disclosures,
authorizations, acknowledgements, and other documents that are required to be provided or made
available to you during the course of our relationship with you. To reduce the chance of you
inadvertently not receiving any notice or disclosure, we prefer to provide all of the required
notices and disclosures to you by the same method and to the same address that you have given
us. Thus, you can receive all the disclosures and notices electronically or in paper format through
the paper mail delivery system. If you do not agree with this process, please let us know as
described below. Please also see the paragraph immediately above that describes the
consequences of your electing not to receive delivery of the notices and disclosures
electronically from us.

electronically to you, you must send an email message to us at apagan@northamptonma.gov and
in the body of such request you must state: your previous email address, your new email
address. We do not require any other information from you to change your email address.
If you created a DocuSign account, you may update it with your new email address through your
account preferences.
To request paper copies from City of Northampton
To request delivery from us of paper copies of the notices and disclosures previously provided
by us to you electronically, you must send us an email to apagan@northamptonma.gov and in the
body of such request you must state your email address, full name, mailing address, and
telephone number. We will bill you for any fees at that time, if any.
To withdraw your consent with City of Northampton
To inform us that you no longer wish to receive future notices and disclosures in electronic
format you may:
i. decline to sign a document from within your signing session, and on the subsequent page,
select the check-box indicating you wish to withdraw your consent, or you may;
ii. send us an email to apagan@northamptonma.gov and in the body of such request you must
state your email, full name, mailing address, and telephone number. We do not need any other
information from you to withdraw consent.. The consequences of your withdrawing consent for
online documents will be that transactions may take a longer time to process..
Required hardware and software
