This document is a memorandum dated August 24, 2017, from SCS Engineers to John Sager at the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources regarding a price adjustment request for an Emergency Response Zone Contract.

The contract covers environmental consulting services with billing rates for various staff categories including Primary Response Managers, Senior Project Managers, Project Professionals, Staff Professionals, Associate Professionals, Senior Technicians, and Technicians. Proposed rates for 2017-2018 range from $65/hour for Technicians to $190/hour for Vice President/Project Director positions, with separate office and field/travel billing rates. The document also includes rate adjustments for expendable items such as Tyvek coveralls (increasing from $10 to $20), Utility Trailers ($25 to $40), GPS mapping units ($100 to $25), Water Level Indicators ($20 to $30), and Lath Stakes ($0.30 to $0.75). SCS Engineers justifies these rate increases as annual adjustments to reflect inflation and competitive conditions in the consulting marketplace, based on their 2017 standard rate schedule established in April 2013.
