Expenses, estimated at $4,550, are to be <br />reimbursed based on actual cost. The budget is based on the amount of time required to perform <br />the work tasks and our normal hourly billing rates of $250 for principals, $190 for executive <br />associates, $125 for senior associates, $100 for associates, and $75-$100 for consultants. <br /> <br />Company policy requires a retainer of approximately one-third the estimated budget for the <br />project or $18,100. The retainer will be applied to the final invoice as a credit for billing of <br />professional services and expenses. Invoices for professional services and expenses will be <br />rendered at mid-month and month-end as our work progresses. <br /> <br />Standard billing terms are net ten days. A finance charge of 1.5 percent will be charged on all <br />unpaid balances outstanding more than 30 days. <br />
