Here’s My Practical Exercise as a "Local Land Development Boots on the ground assistant" – For a possible upcoming RV Park Project Submitted by: Shawn Choice For starters: 1. Scope of Services As the local boots-on-the-ground manager for this RV park development, I would agree to perform the following tasks and responsibilities: -Site Evaluation & Visits: Conduct regular inspections of the property, document progress, take photos/videos, and report findings to the remote team. -Permitting & Regulatory Compliance: Assist in gathering and submitting required permits, coordinate with local authorities, and ensure compliance with zoning, environmental, and utility regulations. -Contractor Coordination: Communicate with and supervise subcontractors, vendors, and service providers; schedule deliveries and manage timelines. -Project Progress Updates: Provide daily/weekly updates, maintain a project log, and flag any potential delays or issues immediately. -Problem-Solving Onsite: Address minor onsite issues that do not require major financial or strategic decisions. -Community & Utility Liaison: Serve as the point of contact for utility companies, neighbors, or local stakeholders when necessary. Tasks I would NOT handle: -Signing legally binding contracts without prior approval. -Handling large-scale financial decisions or loans. -Legal matters beyond routine permitting and code compliance. 2. Compensation Structure I propose the following compensation structure: Hourly Rate: $50–$75/hour for onsite management, depending on task complexity. Flat Fee or Milestone Bonus: Alternatively, a flat monthly retainer of $3,000–$5,000 plus milestone bonuses for major completed phases (e.g., site prep, utility installation, road grading). Reimbursement of Expenses: All approved project-related expenses (fuel, materials, permits, temporary labor, etc.) to be reimbursed. 3. Decision Criteria Before accepting a task, I would evaluate the following: -Clarity of Scope: The task must be clearly defined, with expected outcomes and deadlines.
