KANE City Attorney RICHARD MORTON Director of Community Development R. DENNIS DELZEIT City Engineer JOHN V. GILLESPIE Chief of Police TO: The Honorable City Council FROM: R. Dennis Delzeit, City Engineer RE) v DATE: September 29, 1986 SUBJECT: Amendment to Exhibit "A" (Schedule of Hourly Rates) Agreement for City Engineer Services • • %, @ • • The purpose of this report is to request an amendment to Exhibit "A ", which is the Schedule of Hourly Rates under the "Agreement for City Engineer Services ": On an annual basis, effective August 1st of each year, Willdan Associates, as a Company, amends its wage rates. The wage rates become effective August 1st in order to coincide with the Surveyor's Union adjustments which become effective August 1st. (Surveyors are the only personnel within the company that are unionized.) In order to establish wage rates for the remaining personnel in the company, Willdan hires an outside consultant to review wage rates within the profession for the purpose of assuring that the rates are competitive with other firms, and also to be sure that the wage rates within the firm will continue to attract qualified people. Willdan's contract with the City was last revised August 5, 1985. At that time, it was explained that due to the timing of the original contract, the City would always be charged at last year's rate instead of the current Company rate. Willdan is now requesting that the contract rates be revised to the rates which were in effect last year. Thus, the City would be charged at last year's rates instead of the current rates. (The increase in wage rates each year is approxi- mately the same as the cost of living increase.) � 0MVI 6FP z n S 799 Moorpark Avenue Moorpark, California 93021 (805) 529 -6864 Aril At �IAAlflf�NL Page -2- Attached as Exhibit "A" (Revised effective October 1, 1986) is the proposed amendment to the Schedule of Hourly Rates.
