SSI negotiates fees and service options and set payment schedules and terms
that are convenient for the client.
The
client is invited to select the alternative that is right them. The client is also welcome
to mix-and-match.
1) Grant-Based Services: for services that are pre-written
into a grant. Fees are typically calculated at eight percent (8%) of the direct
(+) indirect costs of the total grant to derive an annual evaluation
total. Since these dollars are often pre-determined
as part of the grant, SSI will adhere to these terms. Payment of fees can be scheduled several
ways: either upon completion of a set of deliverables or on a quarterly or
monthly basis. SSI is flexible and sets
payment schedules that are convenient for clients.
2) Per-Diem Services: per-diem rates are established for
services that are short-term (e.g., one month to one year) and involve a
discrete, one-time set of activities. Fees are set on a sliding scale by type
and size of organization, and are determined by the consultant’s per diem rate.
Payment is due upon project completion or some pre-arranged schedule. SSI sets payment schedules that are
convenient for clients.
3) Deliverable-based Services: for services (either short- or
long-term) that arrange for the consultant to produce a specific deliverable or
set of deliverables. With this option, fees are tied directly to the deliverables
rather than based on a grant percentage or a per diem or hourly rate. Clients can meet their grant obligations
without incurring the full cost of a consultant by assigning to the consultant,
only those tasks that require technical expertise or that cannot otherwise be
performed in-house. Deliverables may
consist of grant writing, report preparation, instrument construction or data
analysis, and so forth. Payment is due
upon deliverable.
4)Service-Based: for services that are long-term and ongoing, and may or may
not be grant-based. With this option,
fees are tied directly to a set of services rather than based on a grant
percentage, deliverable or per diem rate. This allows
clients to choose a service plan relative to the amount of funds designated for
such purposes. For example, if a client only has $10,000 available, they can
select a basic, no-frills option for this amount. Payment schedules are pre-arranged with the
client.
