Participate in City Council Preparation and Meeting <br /> In this task, we will review City staff generated materials that will be presented to <br /> PGS, the City Council Waste Management Subcommittee, and the City Council. We also <br /> have budgeted to attend one (1) City Council meeting. We will answer questions the City <br /> Council has on the rate review. We will assist the City to obtain additional follow-up <br /> data and information, should the City Council suggest additional requirements. <br /> C. Project Schedule and Costs <br /> In order to complete the project within the proposed timeframe, we assume that PGS <br /> will submit all information necessary to complete our review and the PGS will respond to <br /> our requests for information, interviews, and deliverable reviews in a timely manner. <br /> We assume a March 5, 2012 start date. We expect that the rate review will be completed <br /> over the course of a three to six-month period following contract execution. <br /> We will conduct this entire engagement for a not-to-exceed fixed price of$39,600. <br /> This corresponds to 314 consulting hours. Our fees reflect expenses for administration, <br /> word processing, and production. Our hourly rates are $175, $150, and$100 for Director, <br /> Principal, and Associate level personnel, respectively. Our costs include all professional <br /> fees and expenses.
