Gentlemen:
Subject: Engineering Agreement
The agreement between Clair A. Hill & Associates and South
Tahoe Public Utility District covering engineering services
to be provided and fees therefore, was last revised on
August 17, 1967.
The costs of providing quality engineering services has been
subjected to inflationary factors during the past four years,
just as have most other segments of the economy.
In view of the increased costs of doing business, we find it
necessary to ask for consideration in revising the fee structure
contained in the existing contract. We have asked for and
received these proposed revisions from other long term clients
and are using proposed revisions in all new contracts.
Specifically, we request your consideration and approval of the
following changes:
1. Article II, Engineer's Fee
Paragraph A2, page 2, be changed to the following: "Multiplier
shall be in the amount of 2.0."
2. The first paragraph on page 1 referring to ASCE Manual No. 45
be revised to state "ASCE - Manuals and Reports on Engineering
Practice - No. 45 dated 1968," in lieu of the Manual 45 dated
April 1964.
A copy of the 1968 Manual No. 45 is enclosed. There is a slight
increase in the percentage fees shown on pages 28 and 29 as com-
pared to the 1964 Manual. The multiplier is discussed on page 21
and the manual states "For average conditions in the United States,
it will be found within a range of from 2.0 to 3.0 times salary
cost."

The increases in the percentage fee curves are the result of
intensive study and recommendations of the ASCE national office
after comparing the increases in engineering cost against the
increases in construction cost. The conclusion was that
engineering costs, due to added requirements, larger investments
in sophisticated equipment such as electronic computers, are
increasing at a greater rate than construction costs.
The increase in the multiplier occurs for the same reasons. As
you know, we have for many years used a multiplier of 1.85 or
less, however, we have found that the increase to 2.0 is necessary
if we are to successfully continue our operations. The 2.0 multi-
plier is still on the low end of the ASCE recommendations, and we
will do our best to keep it there.
Thank you for considering this matter.
Sincerely,
Harlan E. Moyer
Chief Civil Engineer
