The rates have been increased by 110 percent to account for the benefit packages available to those employed by private industry. Using an average of the two industries, fully burdened hourly rates are: $146.81 for management; $72.67 for technical (20% engineer and 80% maintenance/inspection); and $49.82 for clerical. |
