rate of 18 % and will be applied to any unpaid balance commencing 30 days after date of the
original invoice.
A two (2) hour minimum will be charged for all field testing and thereafter in 2 hour increments.
An overtime premium of 1.5 times the standard rate will be charged for all personnel service or
laboratory test periods in excess of eight hours per day or Saturday, and 2 times the standard rate
for work in excess of 12 hours per week day, in excess of 8 hours on Saturdays and all day on
Sundays or holidays. A four (4) hour minimum will be charged for all special inspection
services. Per diem will be charged at a rate of $65 per day per person or expenses + 10%,
whichever is greater. Outside services will be charged at cost + 10% unless otherwise noted.
