Our fee for these Basic Services will not exceed $25,000.00 without your written authorization. A copy of our Standard Hourly Billing Rate Structure is enclosed. Reimbursable Expenses, including subconsultant fees, incurred in connection with all Basic and Additional Services will be charged based on the actual cost. We do not anticipate any Reimbursable Expenses at this time, and will advise you if this situation changes before authorizing any such expenses or subconsultant services. -t • :'ti ? 1;� ,I-, • ii � �lt 1h _ • ('I, .� ") �� i l�.� • F�1: ( �,� `,;I 23I '_ ,<I CII' - L)H • i t • i'l \IIii,,q, Kk.d,1 • �illY.
