March 7, 2005 Mr. Tony Graff City Administrator United City of Yorkville 800 Game Farm Road Yorkville, IL 60560 Re: Proposed Changes In Hourly Rates and Expenses Dear Tony, Per the Public Works Committee's request, we have gathered additional information with regard to our proposed changes in Hourly Rates and Expenses. Please find attached the 2004/2005 EEI Hourly Rate Summary table where we have listed the hourly rates for each of the classifications of employees from our 2004 Standard Schedule of Charges, and also have listed our proposed 2005 rates. We also have summarized the cost increase, as well as, the percent increase for each classification of employee. As you may recall, we have been actively working with the City for the last six years. While some of our contracts date back to 2000, the first development review projects were initiated in 2002. Please keep in mind that our fee structure has remained the same for all projects that have a formal contract. New contracts in any given year integrated the active fee structure at that time. For any projects that currently do not have a project specific formal contract, EEI's active fee structure has been utilized for the time logged to the project. Please recall that the revenue generated by our hourly rates provides the vast majority of our total income to EEI. Therefore, our hourly rates must include each employee's salary, all employee benefits (i.e. health insurance, retirement planning, sick /holiday /vacation time, etc.), the costs related to maintaining an office, all of our computers, software, equipment, and all other overhead items. While it is clear our hourly rate increase is above the consumer price index increase, please keep in mind that some of our expenses have risen well above the consumer price index (i.e. health insurance). In addition, please keep in mind that we are trying to maintain the highest quality employees, so that we can continue to provide quality professional engineering services to your community. Competitive pressures from other potential employers make it mandatory for EEI to keep competitive compensation plans for the employees. In the end, we believe that we provide good value for the services that we provide, Consulting Engineers Specialising In Civil Engineering end Land Surveying PAGE 1 OF 5 Mr. Tony Graff March 7, 2005 Page 2 We are proposing that our new fee structure be applied to the currently ongoing development review projects. We propose that all other existing professional services contracts that have a fixed hourly rate schedule remain the same. Please keep in mind that it is likely that we will propose that the new fee structure will be applied to future engineering contracts with the City. We hope that this provides the additional information that has been requested. We appreciate the opportunity to work for the City, and we look forward to continuing our professional relationship into the future. If you have any questions, or comments, please do not hesitate to call. Respectfully submitted, ENGINEERING ENTERPRISES, INC. Jeffrey W.
