Hi Darren,
We would like to confirm the receivement of the wire transfer for $91,250 (half of acceptance of bid). The Preliminary Design will be presented, as accorded with Mr. Epstein, on the 13th of this month. We would like to know when will the other half of the acceptance bid be transferred, since once the Preliminary Design is presented, the initial acceptance bid and the Preliminary Study ‘fee’ will be due.
Regarding your questions below :
- The estimated size of the project is 43,056 square feet , or 4000 square feet , which will be ajusted after the presentation of the Preliminary Study.
- We don´t see any problems in using the USVI laws as the basis for the contract, but we´re waiting for further information from a legal representative we´re contacting in the US.
- OK.
- The development of our contract regarding stages of our project, we based our on previous experience with international projects, and Mr. Epstein´s hurry for the initial agreement. Now that we understand the complexity of the project in the USVI, we are analyzing the best way of developing the project. We are contacting consultants in the US that may help us in achieving the best results, and we try to present this idea on the following Friday.
- Ok.
- Not yet. We are searching for the best way to deal with this issue.
Please find some of our doubt below :
- Although we asked for the building codes for the USVI, we didn´t receive any regulations regarding landscaping and construction in the Little St. James. Thiago understood that Mr. Epstein didn´t want the designers to worry about these regulations, how should we proceed? Since the preliminary design is already being executed, we worried about concluding this phase without these regulations.
- Is there a specific construction management firm that works for Mr. Epstein ? Should we suggest an American firm for this job ?

1. Please confirm your understanding of the total size of the project. Your draft indicates 4000 meters or 13,123 feet . Is this what you base your fees on?
2. I suggest that USVI Law should govern the contract because the work is done for a project in the USVI
3. I suggest thatUSVI should be the forum to resolve any disputes, especially if it is applying USVI law.
4. I suggest that we clarify payment stages in the Preliminary Design and Executive Plan Stages to account for initial presentations, comments, revisions based on comments, and final approval. At the preliminary stage there should be a list of actual deliverables that comprise the Preliminary design. One of the deliverables of the Preliminary Design should probably be a list of deliverables for the Executive Plan stage.
5. All moneys due should be paid by wire transfer and we will need wire transfer instructions to include in the contract.
6. Will your firm obtain USVI license?
Other comments to follow.
