The Task Order shall include a list of required tasks and time frame for deliverables. Typically, the tasks will include review of project information, evaluation of potential environmental impacts, and preparation of required CEQA documents. Attendance at public meetings or other tasks will be requested on a case-by-case basis. Scopes for individual projects shall be sent to the consultant with a deadline for response. In the response, the consultant will include the staff resources they can commit to the project, estimated timeline and detailed cost for provision of services. The City will evaluate that proposal, and, if it chooses, accept the proposal and initiate work by issuing a Task Order. FEE SCHEDULE: Consultant will be paid on an hourly basis at the rates provided in each Task Order, and for materials at the rates identified in Table B plus 10%. Reimbursable costs not identified in Table B are billed as a “pass-through” cost, meaning the Consultant will pass along the full fee. Any such costs would be included in a project’s Task Order. Consultant will provide detailed cost estimates for all services requested in each Task Order with the City. The exact hourly rates used to provide the cost estimates will fall within the range set forth below. Reimbursable expenses will be delineated on all invoices. All expenses (printing, couriers, postage, etc.) will be included in invoices.
