• large-scale relocation efforts (up to 2,500 displacements), • tracking and management of periodic payments to Last Resort Housing benefit recipients, • document translation, • Section 8 and HQS inspection services, • development and/or review and modification of agency relocation guidelines and the established policies and procedures for providing relocation assistance in compliance with federal and state regulations, • post-relocation audit representation, • and eminent domain litigation support and expert witness testimony. We work within both rural and urban environments handling inner-city SRO and farm cases alike. Since all of our work ultimately involves the public, we are keenly sensitive to the human and political aspects of the work we undertake. We believe strongly in thorough planning, budget analysis, and above all, communication with our clients. OPC's business relocation services are second to none. Trained in California where unsuccessful business moves result in massive "loss of business goodwill" claims (often greater than the value of the property itself), we have come to respect the unique aspects of each business and what makes them successful at that location. Armed with this experience, we are able to deliver successful business moves, within the law, that increase the likelihood that the business will be able to remain in business and prosper at the new location. Property Management: OPC can provide the unique property management services needed in a public project. Project vacation objectives and the sensitivity of displacement are factored into the legalities and financial objectives of managing a property slated for acquisition and relocation. OPC has extensive experience managing property for an interim period of time until the property is conveyed to another party or utilized for another purpose, or we can manage the property on an on-going basis. Our property management services include: • Prepare and deliver rental agreements tailored to project objectives • Collect monthly rent payments • Work with or provide (as appropriate) on-site managers • Prepare and deliver required notices • Collect keys and verify abandonments • Provide utility disconnection and meter removal • Administer emergency and unsafe condition repairs • Contract building and ground maintenance as needed • Contract board-up and other security services as units become vacant • Provide asbestos and demolition cost estimates and coordination of asbestos abatement and demolition contractors K Page 6
