Consequently, after the City files the refund requests, the IRS might decline the request based on a mistaken belief that the City is ineligible. If this happens, we will respond to the IRS with a description of the legal basis for the request. C. PROPOSED FEES AND TIMELINE We estimate that the City’s total refund will range from $225,000-275,000. Based on this estimate, we propose a flat fee of $25,500, payable after completion of the above deliverables. While Pillsbury will be responsible for all deliverables, we may engage another company, Public Agency Tax Advisors LLC (PATA), to assist with accounting services. If so, we would ask the City to divide payment of the flat fee into two separate checks (we will provide the amounts), one to Pillsbury and the other to PATA. Lastly, we will need to gather some data from the City for this project, a process that won’t require more than 5–8 hours of City personnel time.
