Hi Nancy,
I apologize for any confusion the first invoice may have caused. The first estimate you received included incorrect calculations of crew labor hours and truck rates. It also omitted the costs of the hydrant repair kit that was direct cost to the City of $174.00 with no markup.
The standard Public Works crew billing rate for labor is $45.00/hr
The standard billing rate for the Utility Service Truck is $75.00/hr.
I understand this may have been misleading in that there are mark-ups on labor, however I just want to ensure you these are actual direct billing costs to the City to make the repair.
We appreciate you bringing the issue to our attention and your willingness to take responsibility for the repair. I hope that my response has cleared up any concerns you have. Please let me know if you have any other concerns or questions.
Regards,
Jennifer Cline, P.E.

My husband works for the local electrical company and I know what the differences are. They are the difference of what you actually pay your workers and pay for your utility truck, when you are doing a job for yourself, ($191.44) opposed to what you will bill a patron ($504.00). My bad luck. The City gets a nicely painted fire hydrant.
The check is in the mail. Perhaps you can send me an acknowledgement for the $312.56 difference so I can at least claim the extra as a donation.
