ATTACHMENT “A” TO THE STANDARD PROFESSIONAL

SERVICES AGREEMENT FOR JEFFERSON PARISH

(Res. No. 76068, dated January 25, 1994; Amended per Ord, No. 21593. dated June 5,2002;

Amended per Ord. No. 26578, dated March 15, 2023)

This attachment shall be a part of all professional service agreements for engineering and

architectural services in Jefferson Parish.

The Statewide "DOTD Average Salary Rate" document [average rate plus one (1) standard

deviation], hereinafter referred to as "DOTD Document", is to be used for establishing Maximum

Direct Hourly Rate, Maximum Payable Hourly Rate, maximum overhead rate and, indirectly, the

maximum multiplier for each new professional services agreement. The version of the “DOTD

Document” to be used by Jefferson Parish will be that version of the document as designated by

the Director of the Department of Public Works.

For all hourly rate services, including supplementary services, where payments are made on the

basis of hourly rates, the ENGINEER/ARCHITECT, hereinafter ENGINEER, shall be paid on the

basis of their certified and itemized direct salary costs (Direct Hourly Rates) times a multiplier to

determine Payable Hourly Rates, which shall cover direct salary, overhead and 15% profit.

The multiplier shall be established from the overhead rate resulting from an audit of the

ENGINEER performed by a Federal or State agency, or from an audit performed by a Certified

Public Accountant (CPA) hired by the ENGINEER, provided the CPA certifies that their audit

complies with the latest applicable FAR's and CFR's. In the event a satisfactory audit is not

provided, the multiplier shall be 2.3.

The DIRECTOR shall have the right to require the ENGINEER to provide sufficient documentation

to support the approved multiplier.

In no case shall the overhead rate utilized to determine the multiplier be greater than the

applicable overhead rate shown on the "DOTD Document" as designated by the Director of the

Department of Public Works.

In no case shall the Direct Hourly Rate and Payable Hourly Rate used to pay for professional

services exceed the Maximum Direct Hourly Rate and Maximum Payable Hourly Rate shown

herein that have been derived from the "DOTD Document" as designated by the Director of the

Department of Public Works.

For this agreement, the approved multiplier shall be established at the time the services are

required.

The rates payable to sub-consultants shall be governed by the same regulations as those for the

ENGINEER, with an overhead rate and multiplier established for each sub-consultant.

If a Personnel Classification required for a Parish project is not included in the "DOTD Document",

the Parish Administration shall establish a new Personnel Classification and an appropriate

maximum direct and payable hourly rate, which would be consistent with personnel categories of

similar expertise found within the "DOTD Document", and include herein.

Once contract fees are negotiated, the "DOTD Document" as designated by the Director of the

Department of Public Works and in effect at the time of negotiation shall be used. Those fees

rates will be unaffected by subsequent versions of the "DOTD Document", except that the rates

for Resident Inspection services will be those in the "DOTD Document" in effect at the time those

inspection services begin. The rates in effect for this contract are included herein.

The ENGINEER shall be reimbursed for costs incurred by sub-consultants at the rate of 1.10

times the actual invoices of sub-consultants, up to a total amount of $200,000.00. Thereafter, the

rate shall be reduced to 1.05.

The ENGINEER shall be reimbursed for other direct costs charged to the project at a rate not to

exceed 1.10 times the direct expenses. No reimbursement will be made without satisfactory

documentation. The DIRECTOR reserves the right to have the ENGINEER provide proof that

direct expenses charged to the project are not included in ENGINEER'S overhead.

The ENGINEER shall be reimbursed for actual mileage expenses incurred while performing work

directly related to this contract; however, the reimbursement rate shall not exceed the Jefferson

Parish mileage rate in effect at that time.
