About this file
The document is an email correspondence between Elizabeth Burgard from the Arizona Game and Fish Department and Brian Iserman of JE Fuller/Hydrology & Geomorphology, Inc., regarding a state solicitation (BPM003384) for Hydrological Engineering Services. The communication involves price negotiations for a potential contract, with the state seeking to establish fee schedules that align with industry standards.
The negotiation focuses on revising labor rates for various professional positions including Registered Engineer III, EIT, Draftsperson, and Principal Hydrologist, as well as updating the mileage rate to the 2021 federal standard. The state is requesting JE Fuller to recalculate their fee schedules for both self-performed and subcontracted work, with a clear directive that if satisfactory terms cannot be reached, negotiations will be terminated and moved to the next qualified firm. The procurement process requires a firm fixed fee for services, with specific guidelines about subcontractor pricing and markup, and a submission deadline of 4:30 p.m. on August 18th.

Hi Ms. Burgard:
Per your request I have attached a revised and signed fee schedule. I have revised the highlighted labor rates, including Registered Engineer III, EIT, Draftsperson, and Principal Hydrologist. I have also updated the Mileage rate to equal the current 2021 federal mileage rate.
Thanks, Brian

Dear Mr. Iserman;
The Department wishes to obtain fee schedules close to industry standards to have a contract that is both fair to the State and your organization.
We ask that you consider the competitive nature of this process and recalculate both the self-performed and subcontracted work.
Some of your organization’s submitted fee schedules were over the benchmarks set. The positions of concern are highlighted on the attached spreadsheet.
Please look at your submitted fee schedules and see what you can do to make this a good deal for both the State and your organization.
Please be advised that the Department is not able to negotiate a satisfactory contract with your firm, on compensation and on other contract terms the Department determines to be fair and reasonable to the state, the negotiations shall be formally terminated. The Department shall then undertake negotiations with the next most qualified person or firm on the list in sequence until a determination is reached. Once negotiations are formally terminated and negotiations commence with another person or firm on the list, the Department is not allowed to recommence negotiations with your firm.
Attached is an Excel spreadsheet with Department descriptions for services normally provided by engineering firms. Note these descriptions may not match those you provided in your original fee schedule submitted in June. Please review them carefully and provide a firm fixed fee for the services described. There were a few categories added that may not have been on your original fee schedule. If you perform these services in-house please provide a fee rate for these added categories.
If you listed specific subcontractor fees then you will not be allowed to charge a markup. All submitted fees should be for in-house services and for set subcontractor fees. You may choose at this time to remove subcontractor pricing from your submission and subcontractor fees would then be charged at their rates plus the listed markup.
