The <br /> personnel costs that you have documented should be charged <br /> as a single cost for all abatements, no matter how many <br /> hours the contractor takes. Public Works should also <br /> develop estimates for the personnel costs of vegetation <br /> abatement of undeveloped lots, and alter their charges in <br /> that area as well. This may not be possible given that <br /> there are only two weeks remaining in the cutting season, <br /> but it is advisable, especially if . the billing process has <br /> lagged behind the cutting schedule.
