Box 944212 <br /> Sacramento, CA 94244-2120 <br /> Dear Mr. McDonald: <br /> Wickland Properties wishes to petition 2 invoices recently received <br /> from the State Water Resources Control Board on behalf of San Joaquin <br /> County Public Health. The first invoice is dated 8/7/90 for site #1081 <br /> in the amount of $6,024.00, and the second is dated 8/7/90 for site <br /> #1211 in the amount of $877.19. Both of these invoices cover the <br /> period between 6/1/89 and 3/21/90. <br /> The reason for the petition is that the total invoice amount for hours <br /> worked is not reasonable. As I understand it, the State Water <br /> Resources Control Board is seeking reimbursement from Wickland <br /> Properties, the responsibly party, for oversight by the local agency of <br /> the Wickland site. Health and Safety Code Section 25297. 1, which <br /> establishes the pilot program states "that the Loard shall provide <br /> funding to a local agency which enters into an agreement pursuant to <br /> subdivision (b) for the reasonable costs incurred by the local agency <br /> in overseeing any cleanup, abatement, or other action taken by a <br /> responsible party to remedy the effects of unauthorized releases from <br /> underground storage tanks" (emphasis added) . <br /> The invoice for Site #1081 totals $6, 024.00 for 41.9 hours worked, or <br /> $143.80 per hour. I do realize that this includes overhead, but this <br /> is just unreasonable. Most companies and/or agencies invoice the <br /> employeesf time and rate including benefits, multiplied by an overhead <br /> factor of 30-40%. The reasonable charge for this should be $23 per <br /> hour, plus an additional 30%, which equals $30 per hour: $30 x 41.9 = <br /> $1,252.81. The invoice therefore has been overstated by $4,771. 19. <br /> 1765 Challenge Way P.O.Box 13648 Sacramento,CA 95853-4648 (916)921.1100 Telex:377305 Fax:(916)921.3408 <br />
