Hello,
Please see attached. Thank you for your help with this request!
From: Danville Police Department
Mr. Nash,
Per your request, I am providing you an estimate of cost to comply this information. Payment would be due for the estimated amount before work would begin on this request. In the event that the fee is greater than the estimate, payment would be due prior to the release of the information. In the event that the fee is less than the estimated amount, the difference would be reimbursed as soon as practicable.
Due to the large amount of data, an extension would have to be agreed upon as well. Since there are a total of five requests, you can prioritize which request you want filled first, or I can fill them in the order received. Also be aware that all information that is listed in Code of Virginia 2.2-3706 B 1-11 and 2.2-3706.1 C 1-6 will be redated in my response.
The estimate for the Simpson case is $1700.00. It would require 60 hours to complete. I would need at least 2 weeks to complete as I am the only person to compile most of this information.
