ACTIVITY COSTS PER FULL TERM ABATEMENT <br /> The following 3 tables will document the operations activity time and material <br /> costs for a typical full term abatement in each of the program's 3 management <br /> categories. These costs do not include the contractor's charges billed to the <br /> City, nor any overhead or administrative costs, and should not be considered <br /> as a final owner billed amount. The costs derived from these tables are for <br /> the various abatement activities (taken directly from the activity time matrix <br /> of Table I) and any vehicle and equipment usage based on an hourly rate. The <br /> time spent on answering property owner's billing protests, the time spent in <br /> retrieving property descriptions for filing nonpayment liens, and the time <br /> spent in sending courtesy notifications to undeveloped property owners (where <br /> the City ended up abating such property anyway) all generate costs that must <br /> be considered as part of the full term abatement process. As such, the time <br /> (documentable from Table II) and resultant costs of such activities in each <br /> category will be divided by the number of abatements per category and included <br /> as part of the typical abatement cost. <br /> TABLE VI <br /> COST PER TYPICAL DEVELOPED PROPERTY ABATEMENT <br /> Minutes Rate Cost <br /> FIELD TIME <br /> Initial investigation 35 <br /> 2nd inspection 15 <br /> Property posting 15 <br /> 3rd inspection 15 <br /> Post abatement inspection 15 <br /> Total 95 = 1.58 hrs x $17.29 / hr = $27.37 <br /> OFFICE TIME <br /> Enter complaint data 12 <br /> Research property owner 8 <br /> Issue notification letter 11 <br /> Mail posting notice 8 <br /> Draft work order 35 <br /> Process billing invoice 22 <br /> Total 96 = 1.60 hrs x $17.29 / hr = $27.66 <br /> VEHICLE USAGE TIME <br /> Sedan with radio 95 = 1.58 hrs x $5.00 / hr = $ 7 <br /> MATERIALS & SERVICES <br /> Stationary, printing, & copying $ 2.11 <br /> Posters, stakes $ .30 <br /> Postage $ 4.85 <br /> Documented Activity Cost Per Abatement = $70.19 <br /> Vegetation Program <br /> Cost Analysis 12 <br />
