FEES

FLAT FEE ASSIGNMENTS
Due to the uniqueness of client requests, pricing for flat fee assignments are available on a case-by-case basis. The fee structure could be as low as $500 for the production of a brochure or production/management of ad placement schedules or as high as $20,000 for a multi-year marketing campaign. For assignments with fees of $2,500 or less, full payment in advance is required. For flat fee assignments with fees greater than $2,500, a 50% deposit is required to start work, with the other half due prior to release of the final work product.

PROCUREMENT SERVICES
Governmental entities (and many non-governmental entities) have procurement departments, which are responsible for initiating the process to obtain goods or services from businesses. To “procure” these items, companies release documents called Requests for Proposals (RFP) or Requests for Quotations (RFQ) aka “bids”, which request a response from various companies as to how they can fulfill a need. RFPs typically require a detailed synopsis of your business, qualifications, and why you are the most “responsible, responsive bidder”. Allow us to respond to RFPs and RFQs, coordinate submission of the paperwork, and follow-through until you receive your award.

GRANT WRITING & GRANT SOURCE RESEARCH
Services include grant source research, prospecting and proposal writing. Fees range from $2,500 - $7,000, depending on the complexity of the grant and the time needed to complete assignments. Click here to view our grant writing packages.

HOURLY FEES
Our hourly rate is $150 per hour, with a ten-hour minimum payable in advance. Complete editing of client-prepared proposals, as well as technical assistance, creative, design, writing and consultation services are available on a hourly basis. A mutually agreed upon not-to-exceed amount may be set to complete assignments or provide ongoing assistance ($9,000 minimum). A deposit of 50% is required before work begins; the balance is billed within 15 days of assignment completion.

RETAINER AGREEMENTS
Under this arrangement, a monthly retainer fee is set, usually in the $5,000 - 9,000 range. We are available to provide comprehensive services from the menu of our core competencies: Grant Writing, Transit Marketing, Employee Incentive Programs, Promotional Campaigns and Creative/Design. This is your most cost-effective option because clients purchase unlimited advice and consultation at the fixed amount during the agreed upon timeframe. Our group is available to prepare proposals, participate in brainstorming sessions with client staff, conduct presentations and any other related assignments. The retainer is due at the start of each month and there is a three-month minimum. Expenses billed separately.
