Inc. ("Siltek") regarding the construction of the Pelican <br />Community Park. As such. I have retained the Barthet Firm. <br /> <br />The Barthet Firm specializes in Commercial Disputes. Construction, Contracts and Creditors' <br />Rights. The legal team at the Barthet Firm has many years of experience and has represented <br />several well-known statewide construction companies in various construction litigations. <br /> <br />Since construction law is a highly specialized area of law. I am recommending the retention of <br />the Barthet Firm as co-counsel to assist me in this matter. Moreover. the firm has agreed to <br />provide these services at the discounted rate of two hundred and fifty dollars ($250.00) an hour. <br /> <br />Please find attached the Barthet Firm's resume for your review. <br /> <br />HO:jb <br /> <br />/ Attachment <br /> <br />Agenda Item ~ <br />Date I 2- I ~ r 0 8 <br />
