Re: Supplemental Engagement Letter—City of Round Rock,Texas
Dispute with Argonaut Insurance Company
Dear Brooks:
This Supplemental Engagement Letter amends the agreement for payment of fees and
expenses described in our engagement letter dated April 24, 2025 as supplemental by letter dated
October 3,2025.The remaining terms and conditions contained in the April 24,2025 engagement
letter not specifically described herein remain in effect and are incorporated as if fully set forth
herein.
This engagement will be limited to a not-to-exceed budgeted amount of $50,000.00.
Should our scope expand, or should the existing, limited scope approach this amended not-to-
exceed budget, we will submit an additional supplemental or amended engagement letter for
review and approval by the City Manager for the City of Round Rock, Texas. As we have added
new employees to the firm since our last engagement letter, I've attached an updated rate sheet
with all current employees for your records.
If you have any questions about the terms of this supplemental engagement,please let me
know immediately. We request that you sign and date in the space provided below and return a
copy of this letter to reflect that you are aware of and agree to the terms and conditions of this
representation.
Sincerely,
KarjCeifie
