Professional fees are expressed as fixed prices with a 3.0 multiplier on average employee costs, and the contract includes requirements for E-Verify employment verification compliance. Hourly rates for various positions ranged from approximately $13.33 to $73.33 per hour for DRMP personnel, with specialized consultants billing at rates between $19.62 and $183.54 per hour depending on classification and firm.
