value, responsiveness and practical solutions to address our clients' needs. We recognize that
accessibility, attention to detail, and good communication are hallmarks of successful
representation in legal matters of any sort. Our clients have counted on the firm's experience,
its commitment to service and its tradition as a leader in business and community affairs for
decades.
We give clients the expertise, hard work and breadth of experience of a larger firm, but

smaller firm. The firm's lawyers, Rob Bradley, John Kopelousos, Sam Garrison and Rich

Atlantic Beach. We provide the same degree of service to all of our clients regardless of the size

Services of the City Attorney
Kopelousos, Bradley & Garrison, P.A., currently provides all of the services enumerated
in Section II, paragraphs 1 through 27 of the Scope of Services, described in on pages 9-10 of
the Request for Proposal No. 14-05, to our local government and municipal clients. Over the
past two and a half months, the firm has provided legal services to the City of Atlantic Beach as
interim legal counsel specifically in the areas described in the Scope of Services paragraphs 1, 2,
3, 4, 5, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26 and 27.
As the designated attorney, Rich Komando will be available to meet all of the legal
needs for Atlantic Beach. Rich is available during all normal business hours and is also available
after hours through the firm's answering service, e-mail and by cellular telephone. As indicated

attention and service, the firm's active communication and weekly meetings about our public

notice.

Our extensive experience in serving the legal needs of municipal and government clients
allows us to reasonably anticipate the time commitment required to provide the legal services
outlined in the Scope of Services section of the request for proposals. In what we plan to
develop as a long term legal relationship, the work for the City of Atlantic Beach will receive the
highest priority. Any additional legal work would only be accepted based upon available
resources and after minimizing any scheduling conflicts. The priorities assigned to the
expectations described in the Scope of Services will often depend upon the priorities of Atlantic
Beach. During different times of the fiscal year, budget and finance recommendations will be
prioritized while at other times, labor negotiations will be the primary focus and during
unexpected intervals, employment concerns may arise.
Understanding the scheduled expectations, legal issues can be expected to arise in other
contexts. We are prepared to give legal counsel related to the ongoing operational priorities as
they develop for our municipal and government clients. Time sensitive issues will always be a
priority and our attorneys will always work to meet agreed upon deadlines.
Continuing education, training and awareness is another facet of the firm's direction in
proactive legal representation. Local governments must be attentive to the changing nature of
state and federal laws, statutes, case law, municipal codes, ordinances, regulations and ethical
codes. For this reason, the training and education are logical and essential means to minimizing
liability exposure. In cooperation with the City Manager and at the direction of the City
Commission, training can be presented by our legal team at times most convenient to Atlantic
Beach.
In addition to periodic union related contract negotiations up to arbitration, local
governments are also faced with legal concerns related to employee performance and
disciplinary procedures. Our firm is prepared to handle these issues as they arise in
cooperation with the City Manager and the Human Resources Director, at the direction of the
City Commission.
Consistent with our role as the general counsel for other local governments and
municipalities, we view our role as the coordinator of all of the City's legal needs which includes
working cooperatively with any specially engaged legal counsel. In addition to the
responsibilities described in this proposal, our firm will also assist the City in identifying any
legal expert needed to address a specialized area of need.

Fee Proposal
Kopelousos, Bradley & Garrison, P.A. is able to bill the City of Atlantic Beach for
professional services using one of the following three methods: 1. A fixed fee retainer
agreement; 2. an hourly rate billed monthly; or 3. a combination of a fixed retainer for some
services and an hourly rate for additional services.
In consideration of the second two proposed billing options, all of the attorneys at
Kopelousos, Bradley & Garrison, P.A. would bill at our discounted government billing rate of
$200.00 per hour. Even during times when work is performed by more than one attorney in
the firm, (e.g. firm meetings and discussions, or attendance of multiple attorneys at City
meetings as deemed necessary) the City would only be billed once, and not per attorney. Our
firm does not charge separately for word processing, photocopying, faxing, etc.; however, the
firm charges separately for certain costs incurred in litigation representation, as well as for any
disbursement to third parties made on the City's behalf. Such costs and disbursements include,
for example, the following: extraordinary travel related expenses, deposition costs,
transcription and filing fees required by the clerk of court. These costs are billed at the rate of
the actual expense.
First, under a fixed retainer agreement, Kopelousos, Bradley & Garrison, P.A., will bill
the City of Atlantic Beach $8,000 a month which will include all professional services included in
the Scope of Services. The monthly retainer does not include legal fees for bond work,
litigation, specialized tax services and extraordinary legal work as determined by mutual
agreement of the parties.
Second, using an hourly rate billed monthly, Kopelousos, Bradley & Garrison, P.A., will
bill the City of Atlantic Beach $200.00 per hour for the time spent providing legal services.
Third, using combination of a fixed retainer for some services and an hourly rate for
additional services, Kopelousos, Bradley & Garrison, P.A., will bill the City of Atlantic Beach
$4,000 a month for legal services provided at the attendance of scheduled Commission
Meetings, Commission Workshops, Code Enforcement Meetings and Community Development
Board Meetings. Additional legal services will be billed at $200.00 per hour.
Each of the above described fee proposals has potential benefits relating to budget
certainty, litigation avoidance and value to the City. Depending upon questions or concerns
from the City, Kopelousos, Bradley & Garrison, P.A. is able to provide more in depth reasoning
based upon our background and experience with municipal clients. Our fee agreements do not
contain any provision for rate increases. If at any time the City or Kopelousos, Bradley &
Garrison, P.A. believes the agreement should be modified, our practices is to be able to engage
in such a conversation at any time.
