At RGS, we bill only actual hours attributable to the project at the specific Advisor’s or Technician's rate. Work will commence upon notification by the City of the project award. Work is performed as agreed and subsequently billed each month based on hours actually worked. RGS Advisors are skilled at prioritizing projects and working within the budget of partner agencies.
Mileage, if applicable, will be calculated and invoiced using the current IRS rate.
In calculating the costs for the project, RGS has considered the most efficient and cost-effective methods while continuously maintaining Human Resources' best practices.
