Vashon Park District Guidelines for Consultant Fees and Reimbursable Items

General Considerations These guidelines are intended to assist consultants in developing fee proposals;

exceptions may be appropriate for the particular scope of work and should be specifically negotiated.

No overtime rates of pay will be paid.

Hourly Rates And Expenses VPD expects that the proposed hourly rates or multiplier of hourly rates include all routine overhead and internal expenses of the firm. Inclusion of expenses in the hourly rate or multiplier reduces the amount of backup documentation required to support each invoice and expedites payment.

VPD expects that the proposed hourly rate includes the equipment, tools, software and supplies required to perform the work.

Hourly rates should be identified for all classifications anticipated to be itemized on the consultant’s invoice.

Reimbursables VPD will reimburse the following expenses at cost (when appropriate backup is provided):

1. Printing of review and final sets of deliverables; all deliverables shall also be provided on formatted disk at no additional charge.

2. Postage/shipping cost for deliverables

3. Film development

4. Mileage at current Internal Revenue Service allowable mileage reimburse-ment rate.

5. Long distance telephone charges

6. Computer disks

7. Meals and lodging at current Internal Revenue Service allowable reimburse-ment rate (except for consultants in the local area)

Project field supplies consumed in the work will be reimbursed at cost plus negotiated markup.

1. Computer software or hardware usage

2. Graphics supplies or plotter use

3. Digital camera or batteries usage

4. Communications (except long distance) including:

Lab services provided by a third party will be reimbursed at cost plus negotiated markup.

Subcontracted Services When specifically negotiated, subcontracted services will be reimbursed at cost plus negotiated markup.
