Cost Reimbursement to ESE for Essential Travel to Support Practice Installation Technical Services <br /> 1. ESE will seek to minimize travel by its permanent technical staff from Iowa and Michigan to the project site in Illinois,and will <br /> instead give priority to securing qualified local technical services to perform practice installation tasks. These technical <br /> services may be procured by ESE from a soil and water conservation district or districts through an ESE sub agreement(s) <br /> and/or a contract or contracts with a local qualified person or people,but will remain under ESE's direction,procedures, <br /> quality control,and responsibility. If associated travel is local,this travel cost will only be for mileage reimbursement at the <br /> federal mileage rate for the calendar year of these technical services. <br /> 2. Even if ESE procures these technical services locally,however,there will be some essential travel by ESE's engineer and/or <br /> other technical staff to ensure the correct quality and performance of work. If travel is required from outside the project <br /> area by ESE technical staff from Iowa or Michigan,the following reimbursement rates will be used to invoice the City of <br /> Decatur: <br /> Mileaee @$0.67 per mile,adjusted each calendar year to the current published federal rate. <br /> Lod in @$107,plus taxes,adjusted each calendar year to the current published federal rate. <br /> Meals @$59 per day,adjusted each calendar year to the current published federal rate. <br /> 3. Additionally,for essential travel by ESE technical staff from outside the project area(Iowa and Michigan), ESE will charge one- <br /> half its practice installation technical service rate of$175 per hour,or$87.50 per hour for actual time spent traveling to and <br /> from the project site. This will not apply for local travel to the project installation sites. This reimbursement is necessary <br /> because of the long travel distances from Iowa and Michigan and the unproductive time of technical staff while driving these <br /> distances. <br /> Page 11 of 11 <br />
