JRL arranges the
fee for services in advance with the client .
JRL Engineering provides
engineering and design services based on a scope of work that our customers
write. If needed, we can assist in planning and developing a scope of work to
provide engineering for a prospective client. Engineering and technical
services can be provided on a fixed fee or hourly. We can work at your facility
or ours.
JRL's service is competitively
priced among professional firms. Since each project commissioned is unique JRL
has a variety of fee arrangements available depending on the type of project
involved. Generally one or more meetings are required to determine the scope
and variables of a proposed project. The fee is usually determined by JRL's
detailed analysis of the work involved and the time required to execute it. OR,
by our estimate of the work amount of work which can be done within a fixed fee
set by the client. In all situations, our clients know the fee amount and
payment terms in advance of commissioning work
The fee
agreement is included in a written proposal sent to the client before the
project is commissioned, and will not be exceeded for the work detailed in the
proposal.
Out-of-pocket
expenses (reimburseables), if not included in the fixed or hourly fee, are
recharged at cost generally within a figure discussed with the client in
advance. Reimburseables include such items as printing drawings and
specifications, project related travel, and other project specific expenses.
Generally speaking,
fees for various categories are as
follows:
- Contract Engineering and
design is offered to serve your occasional needs on a periodic basis. This
service is most often offered on an hourly basis. However, fixed fee charges
can be offered when mutually agreed terms are defined. J.R.L. will provide you
with engineers able to do complete or partial projects, if that's what you
need. Our first priority is to define the scope of design. A well defined scope
of design work will assist in controlling costs. As well as being cost
efficient, our contract engineering service will be tailored to your company's
needs.
- Consulting Engineering:
J.R.L. will provide a fixed cost fee for services when a scope of project
design is well defined. Projects with a complex scope of design can be
engineered and designed on a mutually agreed hourly or percent of construction
cost fee basis.
- CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT:
If you have already engineered and prepared your own specifications and
drawings, J.R.L. will provide a management team to monitor construction,
conduct quality control inspections and issue quality control procedures. We
will prepare efficient construction CPM or PERT networks and closely monitor
the contractor's efforts to meet your schedules. This service is most often
provided on an hourly fee basis.
- Construction Field
Engineering and design is needed when unknown design related interfaces are
anticipated during construction and contractor coordination is required, or
when drawing/design interpretation is required. This is most often provided on
a contract or hourly basis.
- Engineering and Technical
Temporary Contract Personnel: Offered for an hourly rate, J.R.L. will
provide you with the services your company needs, even at your requested
location. Once we identify your company's need, we are prepared to fill it with
first-rate service. This service is provided to solve temporary long-term
engineering and design demands throughout the year.
This flexible and
realistic approach gives the client control over their project
spending.
