2. Costs of items acquired or installed tO replace damaged pro~rty, <br /> <br />The actual hydrant, lamp post, sign or signpost, or other item acquired or <br />installed should be charged to the claim.' This cost should be determined by the <br />actual out-of-pocket cost if purchased for this specific repair or the replacement <br />cost value if taken out of storage. If the replacement is an upgrade from the item <br />which was damaged, the charge should only be for the cost of the comparable <br />item with two exceptions. First, if the only readily available item (or in an <br />emergency, the only immediately available item) differs from the replace item, <br />the City will charge the full cost. (Example -- they no longer make the old type, <br />or the old type is not available on nights and weekends and we could not wait.) <br />Second, if a wooden signpost was damaged, but the City standard for a signpost <br />is now to use a metal signpost (or a larger wooden signpost), the City will charge <br />for replacement at the current standard. <br /> <br />3. Staff labor time. <br /> <br />The City expends time handling the damage or theft. All of that time should be <br />charged to the offending party at the fully burdened hourly rate of those staff <br />members who deal with the problem(s). The types of time which might be <br />incurred include: <br /> <br />a. Investigative Time <br /> <br />This is time required to deterrmne who is responsible for the damage or <br />theft. This could be incurred by a police officer, a member of the staff <br />who observes the incident, or a staff member asking questions to find out <br />what happened. <br /> <br />b. Solution Definition Time <br /> <br />This is time spent deciding the best thing to do to resolve the problem. <br />It might include time spent taking a vehicle to three repair shops to get <br />bids, time spent determining whether to sand-blast or paint over graffiti, <br />et~. <br /> <br />e. Preparation Time <br /> <br />This is the time spent acquiring the materials needed to effect the repair <br />or replacement. It could involve determining the specifications for the <br />item, procurement time (including centralized purchasing if applicable), <br />or adjustment of equipment centrally so that it can be used to effect the <br />repair/replacement. <br /> <br />City of Pleasanton <br />Fee Policy <br /> <br />Page 5 May 1992 <br /> <br /> <br />
