Princeton commissioners approve TRC on‑call professional services rate adjustment
Summary
The Princeton Board of Commissioners approved an update to the town’s on‑call professional services agreement with TRC, reflecting roughly a 10% overall rate increase tied to 2023–2025 adjustments and staff promotions. The contract covers non‑project, as‑needed engineering and technical work.
The Princeton Board of Commissioners on July 7 approved an update to the town’s on‑call professional services agreement with TRC to account for updated labor rates and job classifications.
A town staff presenter told the board the new rates reflect adjustments from a 2023 baseline and amount to an average increase of about 10% for 2025. The presenter said individual line items may vary because staff who were paid at one level in 2023 may have been promoted internally (for example, from Engineer I to Engineer II), which can raise the hourly rate for that individual.
The on‑call agreement covers non‑project work—small repairs, investigations and other tasks the town needs to address between capital projects—and the presenter said the revised rates are comparable to the town’s 2024 grading for engineering services. Following a motion and second, the board voted to approve the updated on‑call services agreement; the meeting record shows the motion passed but does not record a roll‑call tally in the transcript excerpt.
The update does not alter project‑specific contract terms; it applies to the town’s standing, on‑call rate schedule for TRC personnel who respond to ad hoc needs such as leak repairs, small plant issues and field investigations.
The board directed staff to include the updated agreement on next month’s agenda for administrative follow‑up paperwork.
