A. Background: In March of 1991 the City entered into an

Abbott Associates.
B. Retainer: 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 each November 1 based on the change in the
Consumer Price Index. No action is required by the City
Council to effectuate this change.
Based on a 2.5% increase in the CPI, the changes to the
amount of the Engineering retainers is summarized as
follows:
Prior Revised Amount ($)
Service Amount ($1 Effective 11 -1 -95
City Engineer 2,373
Traffic Engineer 374
2,432
383
C. Request for Cost -of- Living Adjustment: 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. Such an
adjustment, if made, shall be effective November 1 of each
year, based on a request which is to be submitted by
September 15 of that year.
Attached as Exhibit 1, a request from the City Engineer's
Office for such an adjustment, dated September 26, 1995.
Although late, the request was prepared and submitted as
soon as the required CPI information was made available.

Dear Steve,
As outlined by provisions in our contract for Engineering Services to
the City of Moorpark dated March 1, 1991, we will be moderately
increasing our retainer fees and fee rates to keep pace with current
consumer trends. The proposed increase will be 2.5% as dictated by
our current agreement and the Consumer Price Index for the period
August 1994 thru August 1995 and will take effect November 1,
1995.
Attached is an itemization of the contract categories showing the
related fees and hourly rates which will be changing.
We understand that the Agreement for Engineering Services specifies
that requested increases are to be submitted by September 15. Please
forgive the late submittal of this request but the Consumer Price
Index for August did not become available until today. We had
requested the CPI in early August. This is the absolute earliest that
this could have been submitted.
We look forward to being of service to the community of Moorpark in
the coming year and I would be happy to answer any questions you
might have concerning these increases.
Since -ely,
Dirk Lovett
