Cost Proposal
HR Green has provided various compensation options to benefit the City during periods when revenues are high
and maintain appropriate consultant staffing levels during low periods of permit activity.
Percentage of Fees Collected
Based upon our review of your RFP, fee schedules, and other available data, we propose a sliding fee structure
to provide Building Plan Review services.
Our compensation will not exceed the fees collected by the City.
Fee Structure for Personnel/Hourly Rate
Hourly Rate Schedule
Actual labor hours and staffing levels will fluctuate based on the actual workload or specific staffing levels
established by the City.
Project Manager or Building Official $170-200
Building Plan Review Engineer $130-165
Building Plan Reviewer $105-130
Grading Plan Check Reviewer $150-175
Senior Building Inspector $120-150
Building Inspector $95-120
Professional Reimbursement and Overtime:
The hourly billing rates include the cost of salaries of the HR Green employees, plus sick leave, vacation, holiday
and other fringe benefits. The percentage added to salary costs includes indirect overhead costs and fee (profit).
For overtime (more than 8 hours/day or 40 hours/week) all employees classified as "non-exempt' by the U.S.
Department of Labor will be compensated at 1-1/2 times salary, as per state and Federal wage and hour laws.
Billing rates will be calculated accordingly for these overtime hours. Should subconsultants be utilized, they will be
approved in advance by the City and will be billed at the applicable classification rates listed above + 10%.

Direct Expenses:
Reimbursement for direct expenses, as listed below, incurred in connection with the work, will be at cost plus ten
(10) percent (Unless otherwise negotiated with the City) for items such as:
a. Maps, photographs, reproductions, printing, equipment rental and special supplies related to the work.

e. Outside computer processing, computation, proprietary programs purchased for the work and other
equipment.

Notes / Assumptions
1. Plan review services will include up to a third review for approval of the plans. Additional reviews beyond
three are completed based on using the applicable hourly rates as final negotiated with the City.
2. There will be 150% plan review fee for expedited plan review proiects.
3. For inspection and counter service outside of regular hours the cost will remain the same unless overtime
is required. We will then use the overtime rates of the proposed staff.
4. Compensation from the percentage of fees collected models shown above will include all direct HR Green
employee costs, benefits, and corporate overhead. Directly related vehicle costs are subject to final
contract negotiations with the City.
5. HR Green provides a detailed monthly billing for all services provided. We will work with the City to assure
that the invoices are provided in a format acceptable to the City.
Our hourly fees/rates shall remain valid for at least one (1) year from the effective date of the contract and may be
adjusted annually thereafter based on the CPI for Riverside County, or as negotiated and agreed to by the City.
