The rates listed above are subject to change. Hourly invoices will include a breakdown of the time spent on each task, with the date, number of hours, the personnel involved, and a brief description of the work that was performed for each block of time. 2. Additional Services: Any service provided by our firm that is not specifically listed in the Scope of Work shall be an Additional Service. Some typical examples of Additional Services include but are not limited to; (1) redesign requested by the Client, (2) redesign due to a change in policy by a governing jurisdiction, (3) re-staking and (4) construction period extended beyond the time stated in the Agreement. Changes in the Scope of Work, initiated by others, requiring civil design revisions after preliminary plan approval by the Client will be considered Additional Engineering Services. Billing for Additional Services shall be based on one of the following two methods: a) On a fixed fee basis: A fixed Fee Amendment proposal will be prepared for any Additional Service where the scope of work can be clearly defined unless we agree to provide such services on an hourly basis. The Fee Amendment will include a Scope of Work for Additional Services and a fixed fee based on that scope of work. Upon acceptance of the Fee Amendment by the Client, it will become part of the original Agreement and all pertinent sections of this document shall apply. b) On an hourly basis: An hourly Fee Amendment proposal will be prepared for any Additional Service where the scope of work cannot be clearly defined. The Client will be billed on an hourly basis for the actual number of hours spent performing the work described in the Fee Amendment in accordance with the standard hourly rates listed above. An estimated budget can be provided at the Client’s request, but the budget is not to be considered a “not-to-exceed” budget unless specifically stated so. 3. Reimbursable Expenses: The following Reimbursable Expenses and Unit Billing items (together referred to as “Reimbursable Expenses) are not included in the fees quoted for engineering, surveying, or consultant services and will be billed separately with each invoice, unless specifically stated otherwise in the agreement.
