DMG <br /> <br />DAVID M. GRIFFITN & ASSOCIATES, LTD. <br />Professional Services for the Public Sector <br /> <br />II00 Logger Court, Suite D-100 <br />Raleigh, North Carolina 27609 <br />919.876.8042 Fax: 919.878.8592 <br /> <br />February28, 1996 <br /> <br />Mr. Blair Bennett <br />Cabarrus County Finance Director <br />Governmental Center <br />65 Church Street, SE <br />Concord, North Carolina 28026-0707 <br /> <br /> David M. Griffith & Associates, Ltd. (DMG) is pleased to once again submit to Cabarrus <br />County, a contract to prepare and negotiate the indirect cost allocation plan. The contract is <br />being submitted at this time to assist with your budget preparation. As you can readily see, there <br />is no fee increase projected in this contract. <br /> <br /> In attempt to assist our clients, we are pleased to offer a three year contract for the <br />preparation of the cost plan. The current fee will remain constant through the preparation of the <br />FYE 6-30-98 cost plan. By offering a multi-year contract, local governments will have a better <br />opportunity of projecting future financial requirements and DMG will have the opportunity to provide <br />qualified staff to assure timely completion of the engagement. Please note that we have <br />incorporated into the contract paragraph 12, a contingency clause whereby, "...if the Board of <br />County Commissioners fails to appropriate funds to continue this Agreement, such Agreement may be <br />terminated." If the multi-year contract presents a problem, please strike out the references to the <br />other two years on pages one and two or contact me and I will submit a single year contract. <br /> <br /> The cost plan is now being used by the Health Departments in the calculation of their <br />reimbursable Medicaid rates. Additionally, DMG is looking into the possibility of including Mental <br />Health indirect costs in the calculation of their Medicaid rates. We will keep you informed as to <br />the progress. <br /> <br /> On behaifof our 82 county clients, we are proud to announce that in FY 95, DMG, through its <br />. cost plan program, was responsible for returning in excess of $21 million in reimbursement of <br />administrative costs to local governments. We sincerely appreciate your support and the confidence <br />shown in our firm over the past years. I look forward to hearing from you and/or seeing you in the <br />near future. Please give me a call if you have any questions. <br /> <br />Very truly yours, <br /> <br />Vice Pr~ent <br /> <br /> <br />
