Administration
Fee Schedule

Microcomm provides engineering services as an independent contractor, on a consulting basis for a flat hourly fee. An advance retainer is required of new clients, in an amount which varies with the nature, scope, and anticipated duration of a given project. For fixed-price contracts, Microcomm normally requires a 50% advance, with the balance payable upon delivery of all contracted materials and documentation.

For ongoing projects, a discounted consulting rate applies, as follows:

for hourly consulting, $180 US per person-hour
for full-day contracts, $1200 US per person per eight-hour work day
for full-week contracts, $5000 US per person per forty-hour work week

(Note: the above daily and weekly discounts do not apply to legal services.)

The above rates became effective on 1 January 2022, and represent our first rate increase in 18 years. They are, however, subject to change without notice, so please contact us before contracting with us.

In addition to the above labor rates, Microcomm is reimbursed for all pre-authorized expenses, including (but not limited to): materials, supplies, equipment rental, and required travel expenses, including transportation, lodging, meals, and incidentals. Domestic transportation mileage is billable at current US General Services Administration POV mileage rates. Domestic lodging, meals, and incidentals are billed in accordance established US General Services Administration CONUS per-diem rates in effect at the time of travel. Non-domestic travel expenses will be billed at actual costs, converted to US Dollars at the official currency exchange rate in effect at the time of billing.

An expense retainer is required of new clients, in an amount negotiable upon signing of a consulting contract.

Because we are a finite resource, in order to receive the best possible service we ask that you please email our Chief Engineer well in advance, to verify availability of the appropriate personnel.
