Kenneth C. Gilbert, Director of Public Works

Adjustment to the Hourly Rates Charged for Engineering
Services.
This requests approval of a 1.8% increase to the rates charged by
the consultant City Engineer for engineering services.
T)TQ(TTQQTnT\T
A. Background: In March of 1991 the City entered into an
Agreement for City Engineering Services with Charles Abbott
Associates.
B. Retainer
1. Agreement: Paragraphs A & B of Section I of the Agreement
provide for an automatic adjustment (not to exceed 7 %) to
the retainer for City Engineer and Traffic Engineering
Services, to occur on December 1 of each year, based upon
the change in the Consumer Price Index.
2. Last Adjustment: The last adjustment to the Retainer amounts
was made January 2002.
3. CPI Increase 2002: There has been a 1.8% increase in the
CPI [ "U. S. City Average for All Urban Consumers All Items
Indexes "] during the one -year period ending August 2002.
Using that 1.8% inflation factor, changes to the existing
amounts for the Engineering retainers are summarized as
follows:

4. No Action Required: As stated above, this is an automatic
increase. No City Council action is necessary.
C. Request for Adjustment to Hourly Rates for Services
1. Agreement: The Agreement for Engineering Services also
states that the City may consider a request for a Cost -of-
Living Adjustment to the hourly rates charged for
Engineering Services.
2. Past Years: It has been the practice of the City Council in
past years to approve the consultant City Engineer's request
for an adjustment to the hourly rates for engineering
services, based upon the same CPI increase data used to
adjust the amount of the Retainers.
3. Request for Increase: Attached as Exhibit 1 is a letter
(10- 18 -02) requesting an increase to the hourly rates
charged for engineering services. The amount of the
requested increase is 1.8% -- the same amount as the
automatic increase to the retainer fees. The effective date
for this requested increase is December 1, 2002.
D. Follow -up Administrative Actions
If the requested increase to the hourly rates for services is
approved, an Amendment to the Engineering Services Agreement
effecting this change will be executed by the City Manager.
RECOMMENDATION
Approve a 1.8% increase to the rates charged for Engineering
Services, effective December 1, 2002.

Moorpark CA, 93021
Dear Steve,
As outlined by provisions in our contract for Engineering Services to the City of Moorpark
dated March 1, 1991 and modified on October 20, 1999, we will be increasing our retainer
fees and fee rates to keep pace with Consumer Price Index (CPI). I have attached a copy of
the CPI for the period 1992 through September 2002. During the period of August 2001
through August 2002 the increase in the CPI for "U.S. Cities Average for All Urban
Consumers" during the period rose from 177.5 to 181.0, an increase of 1.8 %. This is the
index specified in our contract with the City. Our rates will be increased by 1.8% and the
increase will take effect December 1, 2002.
I have attached Exhibits `A' and `B' that show the retainer fees and hourly rates,
respectively, that will take effect on December 1. I have also attached, as Exhibit `C', a
copy of the Bureau of Labor Statistics CPI printout from 1992 to September 2002. It
shows the increase in the CPI for "U.S. Cities Average for All Urban Consumers ".
We look forward to working with you and City staff to provide service to the community
of Moorpark in the coming years.
Sincerely,
Walter Brown.
City Engineer
