Re: Natural Gas Consulting Agreement
Dear Mr. Briggs:
A. R. Briggs & Associates proposes to be retained as a Natural Gas
Consultant to the City of Lubbock in the following areas:
1. Analysis and/or negotiation of Gas Purchase Contracts and
corresponding Gas Transportation and Exchange Agreements.
2. Analysis of reserves and deliverability for properties
committed to gas purchase proposals to make certain that estimated
volumes available for sale are sufficient to cover contract
requirements.
3. Analysis of production history (on a continuing basis) of
properties committed to existing gas purchase contracts to iden-
tify potential short fails in availability requirements that may
occur from time to time.
4. Consultation with the City of Lubbock on a continuing basis
concerning gas supply and gas acquisition matters.
The consulting retainer would be Five Hundred ($500.00) Dollars per
month in advance for an average of four (4) hours per month for the
principal consultant's services plus two (2) hours per month for senior
support services. Any time required in excess of this contracted time
would be at standard consulting rates of One Hundred ($100.00) Dollars
per hour for principal consultant services and Fifty ($50.00) Dollars
per hour for senior support services. Such excess time would be
incurred only with the prior approval of the City of Lubbock.

It is understood that the retainer includes the average hours indicated
above. Any hours not used will be accumulated for future use and will
be used to offset an equal amount of excess hours.
In addition to the fees set out above, the City of Lubbock would reim-
burse A. R. Briggs & Associates monthly for third party out-of-pocket
expenses and travel and other related expenses incurred in the process
of providing these Natural Gas Consulting Services.
At the end of each month, A. R. Briggs & Associates will submit to the
City of Lubbock a statement showing the actual time expended in provid-
ing consulting services for the prior month, along with a statement
tabulated at the standard consulting rates set out above for any time
expended in excess of the contracted time set out in this agreement.
The City of Lubbock agrees to pay such statement for services promptly
upon receipt and verification.
The term of this Natural Gas Consulting Agreement will be month to month
commencing August 1, 1989. This agreement may be terminated or renego-
tiated after the first month upon thirty (30) days written notice by
either party.
If the City terminates this agreement, they further agree to waive any
accumulated hours. If A.R. Briggs & Associates terminates this agree-
ment, they agree to reimburse the City for any accumulated hours at the
rates set forth above.
If the above correctly sets forth our agreement in this matter, please
execute in the space provided below and return one fully executed copy
of this letter for our files.
