1991 .
DESCRIPTION:
On October 10 , 1991, the City Council continued this item to the
October 28 , 1991 City Council meeting to enable the full City Council
to hear this item.
On August 13, 1990, the City Council authorized the City Manager
to sign a consultant services agreement with Brenda A. Gillarde
increasing her hourly compensation from $40 . 00 per hour to $45 . 00 per
hour. Ms . Gillarde began service with the City on June 20, 1989 and
has worked on a number of projects including the eastern and western
Dublin General Plan Amendments and Specific Plan Studies and the
update of the Dublin General Plan.
Ms . Gillarde ' s consultant services agreement states that the
extension of the agreement beyond 12 months may be subject to
renegotiation of the base rate of pay. At the anniversary of the
agreement, Ms . Gillarde requested an increase in the base rate of pay
from $45 . 00 per hour to $55 . 00 per hour. She has based her request on
the rates currently charged by other consultants with- similar
responsibilities and backgrounds , the complexity of the management of
the eastern and western Dublin General Plan Amendments and Specific
Plan Studies, and increases in the cost of living.
Given the impacts of the recession on City revenues, negotiations
were entered into with Ms . Gillarde resulting in an agreement to raise
the base rate of pay from $45 . 00 per hour to $52 . 00 per hour
retroactive to August 1, 1991, the anniversary of her contract. Given
the rates charged by other consultants, the complexity of her duties
and increases in the cost of living, Staff recommends that the
consultant services agreement be amended to change the base rate of
pay from $45 . 00 per hour to $52 . 00 per hour retroactive to August 1,
1991 .

EXHIBIT B
I. RATE OF PAY
The base rate of pay to the Consultant shall be fifty-two dollars
(52.00) per hour. This rate is based on the supposition that the amount of
work required of the Consultant will be the equivalent of 40 hours per week.
This contract will be reviewed quarterly (every three months) to assess the
number of hours actually spent by the Consultant. If the number of hours falls
below an average of 32 hours per week, the Consultant reserves the option to
renegotiate the hourly rate, to a figure agreed upon by the City and the
Consultant. Extension of this Agreement beyond twelve (12) months may be
subject to renegotiation of the base rate of pay.
II. HOURLY RATE - ALL INCLUSIVE
The hourly base rate shall be inclusive of wages, benefits, any overhead
including profit, transportation, and mileage expenses. City shall not pay any
additional sum for any services rendered pursuant to this Agreement. The cost
to the Consultant of providing commercial general liability insurance (which is
estimated at $650 per year) would be paid for by the Consultant. Method of
payment will be determined by the City and Consultant.
III. INVOICES
The Consultant shall submit invoices on a semi-monthly basis. The number
of hours worked should be in increments of not less than one quarter hour.
City shall process and pay said invoices within thirty (30) days of receipt.
Consultant shall maintain adequate logs and timesheets and submit same with
invoices.
IV. ADDITIONAL WORK
City shall make no payment for any extra, further or additional service
pursuant to this Agreement unless such extra service and the price therefore is
agreed to in writing and executed by an official of the City authorized to
obligate the City thereto prior to the time such extra service is rendered.
V. TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT
The services to be provided under this Agreement may be halted or
postponed at any point in time at the sole and exclusive discretion of the City
upon thirty (30) days written notice to the Consultant by certified U.S. mail,
return receipt, addressed to Consultant at 1358 Walden Road, Walnut Creek, CA
94596, or other such address as Consultant may hereinafter specify by written
notice to the City.
