ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER
OF THE
PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
City of Eugene, Oregon
In order to:
A. Charge to local improvement districts, engineering fees that closely
reflect average costs, and,
B. Provide a fair and equitable charge for services to property owners,
The Public Works Director finds that:
1. The amount currently charged for engineering services to local
improvement districts is not adequate to recover the actual costs
incurred.
2. A study and analysis of these fees is underway and needs to be
completed to determine a reasonable and equitable charge rate. The
estimated completion date for the analysis is September 30, 1987.
3. An interim increase in the current charge rate needs to be implemented
pending completion of the study and analysis in order that the City may
recover, on current and new projects, an amount that more closely reflects
actual costs.
4. A preliminary analysis indicates that engineering costs over the past
five years have averaged 19.15% of project construction costs.
Based on the above findings, the Public Works Director orders that:
Property owners in local improvement districts be assessed a charge for
engineering services at a rate of 19% of actual project construction
costs. This rate will apply to all projects assessed after May 1, 1987
until changed by administrative order.
This 19% rate is considered an interim rate adjustment pending final
recommendations from the rate study and analysis. Should the 19% rate
be determined by the analysis to meet the objectives stated in A and B
above, then that rate will remain in effect until further action by the
Public Works Director. Should the 19% rate require further adjustment,
either increased or decreased, then a new administrative order will be
issued by the Public Works Director which would apply only to those
projects assessed after the date of the new administrative order.
In accordance with authority granted by Section 7.007 of the Eugene Code, 1971,
this administrative order is issued and dated ~d~ ~~ , 19~.
