�- SANTOLUCITO DORE <br />GROUP, INC. <br />REAL ESTATE SERVICES <br />September 15, 2021 <br />Mr. Kenny Nguyen <br />Project Manager <br />City of Santa Ana <br />Public Works Agency; M-36 <br />20 Civic Center Plaza; Ross Annex <br />Santa Ana, CA 92701 <br />RE: RFP No. 21-103 <br />Appraisal Lump Sum Billing —10-K Exception Request <br />Dear Mr. Nguyen <br />The Santolucito Dore Group, Inc. (SD Group) is a small, women -owned, disadvantaged business <br />enterprise. We offer essentially one type of service — valuation services and typically bill our <br />services on a lump sum per appraisal basis. As such, we do not have the need for sophisticated <br />financial management software with cost segregation features as required on Exhibit 10-K, <br />Consultant Annual Certification of Indirect Costs and Financial Management System. <br />Implementing such software and practices would be cost prohibitive for us as a small DBE firm <br />and we cannot certify to something we can't comply with. <br />If selected, our work for the City of Santa Ana's on -call contract will be billed on a lump sum per <br />appraisal basis. It is recommended that our firm is included as a Vendor or Other Direct Cost <br />(ODC) for any projects associated with the on -call contract. The Caltrans Local Assistance <br />Procedures Manual allows DBE's to participate in a number of ways, including being contracted <br />as a vendor. Please see the attached page from the manual. <br />Please let me know if you have any questions or need any additional information. We are excited <br />for the opportunity to work with the City on this project. <br />Sincerely, <br />C&A <br />Christine S. Santolucito, R/W-AC <br />President <br />951-225-3500 • 31600 Railroad Canyon Road, Suite 100-L • Canyon Lake, CA 92587 • sdgroupinc.com <br />
