Project Management Fee
The Department of Facilities Management provides project management services to all projects that require costs estimates, design work and either in-house or contracted services to complete. A project set-up and project management fees will be used to offset general fund budget for existing deferred maintenance. These fees do not accrue to the Department of Facilities Management but rather the general fund for deferred maintenance purposes only and serve as a reimbursement for in-house project management services.
A PM fee will be assessed based on the tiers below:
- Project costs <$1,000,000: 4.5% fee
- Project costs $1,000,000 - $5,000,000: 2% fee
- Project costs over $5,000,000: 1% fee
Examples
- Project costing $75,000
Fee = $3,375 - Project costing $1,200,000
Fee = $49,000
($1,000,000 at 4.5% = $45,000 + $200,000 at 2% = $4,000) - Project costing $5,200,000
Fee = $127,000
($1,000,000 at 4.5% = $45,000 + $4,000,000 at 2% = $80,000 + $200,000 at 1% = $2,000)
