Good afternoon John,

I was able to connect with another potential expert: Mark Gentry, with HKA.=
 Attached you'll find Mark's bio.

Mark is based in Minneapolis, but HKA has a worldwide roster of experts inc=
luding several with experience in important areas for our case such as engi=
neering/construction, delay/disruption analysis, and cost increases.

Mark's firm has cleared conflicts.

Let me know if you'd like any other information before I obtain his engagem=
ent letter/agreement for circulation.

Good morning John,



I anticipate both parties will weigh Daubert challenges for any expert, so =
these are good questions to ask up front.



I spoke with James Panko (with ESi) yesterday. I provided some additional i=
nformation about the nature of the dispute and the project.  He's going to =
discuss internally with his team, and then circle back about gathering addi=
tional details to determine whether this matter will be a good fit.



Our firm works with ESi frequently.  I believe ESi will readily admit if th=
is matter (or some part thereof) isn't a good fit.

Hi Quinn:



They are definitely qualified for investigation of specific failures.  Howe=
ver, our engineers asked if you could ask them these follow-up questions:



                What is your experience in project management failures?

                What is your approach for project management investigations=
?

Good morning John,



Jim Pank, an expert with ESi based in Minneapolis, indicates that his firm =
is available to help on this matter.  When you have an opportunity, please =
let me know if I may engage ESi on behalf of AIC.



Attached you'll find the proposed engagement documents. I'm familiar with t=

ndustry. To highlight a few provisions:

  *   Billable rates: Pank0 $325 and Nesvold $360
  *   Payment within 30 days of invoice
  *   AIC would agree to indemnify/hold harmless ESi concerning AIC's negli=
gence and any claims that arise out of the ESi's work that meets the standa=
rd of care.
  *   The parties mutually agree to waive consequential damages.
