Consulting charges:

Basic consulting charge is $900 per day for on-site visits. All travel expenses are in addition to consulting fee.*
In-office research, analysis, and report preparation is charged at $50 per hour.
Telephone consulting is available at $25 per 30 minutes with a $25 minimum charge.
Other arrangements can be made on an individual basis.

*Travel charges:
Travel expense is in addition to consulting or program charges. Within 400 one-way miles of home location, travel will usually be by motor vehicle with mileage charged at 50 cents/mile. Beyond 400 miles, travel is usually by air and charged at actual airfare. We always make travel arrangements based on lowest price available for reasonable connections. In other words, we book flights as if it were coming out of my pocket. If I choose to drive to your location and the mileage charge would be in excess of airfare, I charge at the airfare rate. Air travel is usually out of Idaho Falls, ID. In addition to airfare, there is a mileage charge to and from my home to the airport, which is a 280 mile roundtrip.

If your event is the only stop on this trip, a $300 charge per travel day will also be assessed. If it is a one day event, two travel days are charged ($600). If it is a 2-day event only one travel day is charged ($300). For events or series of events three or more days, there is no travel charge. If I can reach your location in less than 6 hours, no extra charge for travel.

There will be a charge for international travel days of $500/day. Travel days to Western Canada (BC-AB-SK) are charged at $300/day. This fee can be waived if there are at least 4 working days.
