Re: Rates and Condition for Hiring Project Partners Employees
Dear Eric:
The following is information regarding our conditions for hiring Project Partners employees and our hourly
billing rates.
Hiring Project Partners' Employees
The City of San Juan Capistrano understands that the personnel provided by Project Partners is the
result of substantial expense on the part of Project Partners for recruiting, interviewing, screening,
training, and supervising of its personnel. Therefore, in consideration for this service, the City will not
interfere with the employment relationship between Project Partners and its employees or direct or
indirectly cause a Project Partners employee to transfer to another contacting service for the period of
one hundred and eighty (180) calendar days after the project assignment ends.
The City is permitted to hire one of Project Partners' employees, for no charge, after the employee has
1460 billable hours (approximately nine months) or after 180 days after the assignment has been
terminated. However, should the Client decide to hire one of our employees already on project
assignment with their organization or within 180 days after the project assignment has been terminated,
Project Partners shall apply a Permanent Placement fee, based on the following schedule:
Months of Billing Placement Fee (% of annual salary)
Less than 6 months 25%
6 months to 9 months 15%
Hourly Billing Rates
Project Partners hourly billing rates are presented on the table on the following page. These rates
represent our standard billing rates for 2007. These rates are adjusted annually in January.
In addition to these rates, reimbursable expenses are at cost + 10%, except where noted. These costs
include photocopies and binding, blueprints, postage, delivery services, and express mailing. Approved
vehicle mileage will be at the IRS allowable rate.
We are excited to have the opportunity to continue to provide outstanding technical service to the City of
San Juan Capistrano. As always, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to give me a call at
any time.
Sincerely,
Kimo Look, P.E.
