Hourly: some components of projects may be more cost-efficient on an hourly fee basis. For example, if legislation needs to be crafted, or making a single presentation, an hourly fee may suit the client.
Hourly + taveling and office and supply expenses. The hourly is not charged during manager's travel time unless it is more than 30 miles from the work site. Travel time in this case is billed at a lower rate. No mileage charge here.
Monthly Project Basis: complex near- and long-term projects may be most cost-efficient on a project cost basis. For example, if a state wanted to conduct a comprehensive review of its water resouces taking a year to do so, a monthly fee may be cost effective. This is at least 24 full-time, 10 hour days/month.
Travel Expenses: Travel is charged on an exact expense only: vehicle use is 40 cents/mile. Food and housing by exact receipts presented.
Supply Expenses: in the event that the client does not have office support, office supply and service expenses are by exact receipts presented.
