About this file

The document is a contract amendment and renewal package from the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) for legal advisory services, involving Mayer Brown LLP as the contracted legal service provider. The package includes a Contract Amendment Summary, a Procurement Determination for Price Increase, supporting U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics documentation on compensation and consumer price indices, and a formal rate increase request letter from Mayer Brown.

The contract covers legal advisory services for alternative project delivery on federal-funded projects, with contract numbers CTR061868 and CTR061869. The amendment extends the contract from August 26, 2024 through August 25, 2025 and approves a 6% rate increase across all service levels, bringing rates to $726.10 for Senior and Junior Partners, $583.00 for Senior and Junior Associates, and $217.30 for Paralegals. The rate increase is justified by Bureau of Labor Statistics data showing compensation costs for private industry workers in the Phoenix metropolitan area increased 2.7% in the 12 months prior to renewal, with Mayer Brown noting their standard rates increased an average of 12% in 2024 and anticipating further increases in 2025.

3) Provide justification:

Mayer Brown LLP requested a 6% increase on all line items for the contracts second renewal period. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that compensation for private industry workers in the Phoenix Metropolitan area increased 2.7% during the 12 months prior to this renewal period and 4.8% for the prior year. Additionally, the Consumer Price Index went up 2.6% and 7.4% for this same period.

Price increase was reviewed and determined fair and reasonable based on the U.S Bureau of Labor Statistics data. Per the contract, a 3% increase is allowed each year during the renewal period and is computed against the original contract price. It is in the State’s best interest to approve the 6% maximum increase allowed by the contracts second renewal period. The price increase granted for each line item does not exceed the 6% allowed in the contract.

The annual increase in compensation costs in Phoenix was 2.7 percent in March 2024, compared to advances that ranged from 4.4 percent to 3.5 percent in the three other metropolitan areas in the West (Los Angeles, San Jose, and Seattle). Phoenix's 2.8-percent gain in wages and salaries over this 12-month period compared to rates ranging from 4.7 percent to 3.9 percent in the three other western localities. (See table 2.)

Locality compensation costs are part of the national Employment Cost Index (ECI), which measures quarterly changes in compensation costs, which include wages and salaries and employer costs for employee benefits. In addition to the 15 locality estimates provided in this release, ECI data for the nation, 4 geographical regions, and 9 geographical divisions are available. (Geographical definitions for the metropolitan areas mentioned in this release are included in the Technical Note.)

The Employment Cost Index (ECI) measures the change in the cost of labor, free from the influence of employment shifts among occupations and industries. For information on survey concepts, coverage, methods, nonresponse adjustment, and imputation see National Compensation Measures Handbook of Methods at www.bls.gov/opub/hom/ncs/home.htm.

Straight-time wage and salary rates are total earnings before payroll deductions, excluding premium pay for overtime, work on weekends and holidays, and shift differentials.

Production bonuses, incentive earnings, commission payments, and cost-of-living adjustments are included in straight-time earnings, whereas nonproduction bonuses or those not directly tied to production (such as end-of-year and profit-sharing bonuses) are excluded. Also excluded are such items as payments-in-kind, free room and board, and tips.

The energy index rose 13.5 percent for the two months ending in April. The increase was mainly due to higher prices for gasoline (24.8 percent). Prices for electricity rose 4.3 percent, while prices for natural gas service decreased 4.5 percent for the same period.

Energy prices fell 3.9 percent over the year, largely due to lower prices for gasoline (-11.4 percent). Prices paid for electricity rose 9.3 percent, and prices for natural gas service advanced 3.1 percent during the past year.

All items less food and energy The index for all items less food and energy increased 1.3 percent in the latest two-month period. Higher prices for shelter (1.8 percent) were partially offset by lower prices for apparel (-0.7 percent) and new vehicles (-0.4 percent).

Over the year, the index for all items less food and energy increased 3.0 percent. Components contributing to the increase included apparel (7.5 percent) and shelter (3.5 percent). Partly offsetting the increases were price decreases in used cars and trucks (-6.0 percent), new vehicles (-1.8 percent), and household furnishings and operations (-0.7 percent).

The June 2024 Consumer Price Index for the Phoenix area is scheduled to be released on July 11, 2024.

Technical Note The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a measures of the average change in prices over time in a fixed market basket of goods and services. The Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes CPIs for two population groups: (1) a CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) which covers approximately 93 percent of the total U.S. population and (2) a CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) which covers approximately 29 percent of the total U.S. population. The CPI-U includes, in addition to wage earners and clerical workers, groups such as professional, managerial, and technical workers, the self-employed, short-term workers, the unemployed, and retirees and others not in the labor force.

The CPI is based on prices of food, clothing, shelter, and fuels, transportation fares, charges for doctors' and dentists' services, drugs, and the other goods and services that people buy for day-to-day living. Each month, prices are collected in 75 urban areas across the country from about 6,000 housing units and approximately 22,000 retail establishments—department stores, supermarkets, hospitals, filling stations, and other types of stores and service establishments. All taxes directly associated with the purchase and use of items are included in the index.

The index measures price changes from a designated reference date; for most of the CPI-U the reference base is 1982-84 equals 100. An increase of 7 percent from the reference base, for example, is shown as 107.000. Alternatively, that relationship can also be expressed as the price of a base period market basket of goods and services rising from $100 to $107. For further details see the CPI home page on the internet at www.bls.gov/cpi and the CPI section of the BLS Handbook of Methods available on the internet at www.bls.gov/opub/hom/cpi/.

In calculating the index, price changes for the various items in each location are averaged together with weights that represent their importance in the spending of the appropriate population group. Local data are then combined to obtain a U.S. city average. Because the sample size of a local area is smaller, the local area index is subject to substantially more sampling and other measurement error than the national index. In addition, local indexes are not adjusted for seasonal influences. As a result, local area indexes show greater volatility than the national index, although their long-term trends are quite similar. NOTE: Area indexes do not measure differences in the level of prices between cities; they only measure the average change in prices for each area since the base period.

Re: Contract Renewal – Rate Change

Dear Ms. Brenden:

We have appreciated the opportunity to serve the Arizona Department of Transportation (the “Department”) over the last two years and look forward to participating in the upcoming renewal process as the second twelve (12) month period ends for each of contract number CTR061868 and CTR061869.

As part of the renewal process, and in accordance with the Contract Special Terms and Conditions, item 9, please consider this our formal price increase request, being provided at least 60 days in advance of the second renewal date for the current contract awarded to Mayer Brown by the Department on August 26, 2022.

We are requesting the maximum 6% increase from the rates at the time of award or a ~3% increase from the 1st renewal rates for the 2nd Renewal Period as submitted with our original response to Solicitation No. BPM004124 in February 2022 and agreed to at the time of the award. This increase would be applied to the rates included in our Best and Final Offer submitted in June 2022, and agreed to at the time of award, and would be effective through the end of the 2nd Renewal Period. If approved, the below increased rates would go into effect August 26, 2024 and would be valid for 12 months.

Level Rates at the Time of Award

New Rates for 2nd Renewal Period

Rate Increase Perecentage

Senior Partner $685 $726.10 6% Junior Partner $685 $726.10 6% Senior Associate $550 $583.00 6% Junior Associate $550 $583.00 6% Paralegal $205 $217.30 6% Administrative Support $0 $0 0%

Points summarizing our rationale for a ~3% price increase from the 1st renewal rates are below:

Per the Bureau of Labor Statistics Employment Cost Index – March 2024 report, found in the link below, compensation costs for private industry workers increased 4.1 percent over the year.

Wages and salaries increased 4.3 percent for the 12-month period ending in March 2024. The cost of benefits increased 3.6 percent for the 12-month period ending in March 2024.
