The scope of work provided in this agreement specifies the actions that will be undertaken by the TJCOG Special Projects Director and a CATV consultant to ensure that each contracting unit of government will be provided with the proper information and recommendations to administer the rate regulation of its CATV system and franchise in an effective and cost-efficient manner. The fee structure set forth in this agreement is designed so that the cost of this service is funded at an average '60 percent by TJCOG dues from member governments and 40 percent by fees-for-service, excluding the cost of the CATV consultant . . The fees-for-service for the TJCOG CATV services are a factor of the number of CATV subscribers per franchising authority as of September 1, 1993 . Therefore the greater the number of subscribers, the greater the fee-for-service percentage (maximum of 50 percent) . It is estimated that the Special Projects Director will spend 40 - 50 percent time on this CATV project depending on the number of contracting units of government . The cost for this time is calculated at $50 per hour. The CATV consultant will be under a master contract with TJCOG.
