ACTION - ; YC�
TO: The Honorable City Council
FROM: Kenneth C. Gilbert, Director of Public Works
DATE: February 11, 1992 (Council Meeting 2- 19 -92)
SUBJECT: Consider Fee Increase for Engineering Services
DISCUSSION
A. Retainer
In March of 1991 the City entered into an Agreement for
City Engineering Services with Charles Abbott Associates.
Section I(A) of the Agreement provides for an automatic
adjustment of the retainer services on November 1, 1991,
in an amount equal to the change in a specified Consumer
Price Index (CPI) for a specified period of time. Section
I(B) sets forth similar language for an adjustment to the
retainer for Traffic Engineering services.
The amount of the change in the specified CPI is 3.8 %.
The following chart shows the increase in these retainers
when adjusted (rounded to the nearest dollar) by this
factor.

C. Waiver of Notification Requirement
The Agreement states that the rates for various
Engineering services may be adjusted on November 1, 1991.
This Section requires, however, that the City be notified
at least f orty -f ive ( 45 ) days prior to the date of the
proposed rate adjustment. The request from the City
Engineer for this change was received by the City on
January 22, 1992.
It is recommended that the forty -five (45) notification
requirement be waived. Due to the effort required to
recompute the amounts due for past invoices already paid,
it is not recommended that these rate adjustments be made
retro- active to November 1, 1991. Instead, it is
recommended that they be made effective March 1, 1991.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council take the following
actions:
1. Receive and file this notification of an automatic 3.8%
increase in the City Engineer's retainer retroactive to
November 1, 1991.
2. Waive the forty -five (45) day notice requirements for an
increase in the hourly rates for Engineering services and
approve a 3.8% increase in said rates effective March 1,
1992.
