TERMS & CONDITIONS
Expiration: For all classifications except those subject
to prevailing wage, this fee schedule is effective through
December 31, 2017 after which remaining work will be
billed at then -current rates.
Proposal Expiration: Proposals are valid for at least 30
days, subject to change after 30 days; unless otherwise
stated in the attached proposal.
Prevailing Wages: Our fees for prevailing wage work
are subject to change at any time based upon the project
advertised date, and changes in California prevailing
wage laws or wage rates. Prevailing wage time accrued
will include portal to portal travel time. Prevailing wage
rates are subject to increase after June 30, 2017.
Overtime: Overtime for field personnel will be charged
at 1.5 times basic hourly rates when exceeding 8 hours
up to 12 hours per 24 hour interval, and 2 times basic
hourly rates when exceeding 12 hours in 24 hours or on
Sunday, and 3 times basic hourly rates on California
official holidays.
Expert Witness Time: Expert witness deposition and
testimony will be charged at 2 times hourly rates listed on
the previous pages, with a minimum charge of four hours
per day.
Minimum Field Hourly Charges: For Field Technicians,
Special Inspectors or Material Testing Services:
4 hours: 4-hour minimum charge up to the first four
hours of work
8 hours: 8-hour minimum charge for over four hours of
work, up to eight hours
Outside Direct Costs: Heavy equipment, subcontractor
fees and expenses, project -specific permits and/or
licenses, project -specific supplemental insurance, travel,
subsistence, project -specific parking charges, shipping,
reproduction, and other reimbursable expenses will be
invoiced at cost plus 20%, unless billed directly to and
paid by client.
! Insurance & Limitation of Liability: These rates are
predicated on standard insurance coverage and a limit of
Leighton I Fee Schedule
Leighton's liability equal to our total fees for a given
project.
r� Invoicing: Invoices are rendered monthly, payable upon
receipt in United States dollars. A service charge of 1%-
percent per month will be charged for late payment.
Client Disclosures: Client agrees to provide all
information in Client's possession about actual or
possible presence of buried utilities and hazardous
materials on the project site, prior to fieldwork, and
agrees to reimburse Leighton for all costs related to
unanticipated discovery of utilities and/or hazardous
materials. Client is also responsible for providing safe
and legal access to the project site for all Leighton field
personnel.
Earth Material Samples: Quoted testing unit rates are
for soil and/or rock (earth) samples free of hazardous
materials. Additional costs will accrue beyond these
standard testing unit rates for handling, testing and/or
disposing of soil and/or rock containing hazardous
materials. Hazardous materials will be returned to the
site or the site owners designated representative at
additional cost not included in listed unit rates. Standard
turn -around time for geotechnical-laboratory test results
is 10 working days. Samples will be stored for 2 months,
after which they will be discarded. Prior documented
notification is required if samples need to be stored for a
longer time. A monthly storage fee of $10 per bag and
$5 per sleeve or tube will be applied. Quoted unit rates
are only for earth materials sampled in the United States.
There may be additional cost for handling imported
samples.
=� Construction Material Samples: After all designated
28-day breaks for a given sample set meet specified
compressive or other client -designated strength, all
"hold" cylinders or specimens will be automatically
disposed of, unless specified in writing prior to the 28-day
break. All other construction materials will be disposed
of after completion of testing and reporting.
