Travel Costs

The following basic principles shall be used in determining travel costs:

·        Existing fees include travel provision for Inspector’s normal route, normal schedule and for normal accessibility.

 

·        For travel beyond the normal route, outside of the normal schedule or involving non-normal accessibility, an additional charge is required to recover full travel costs.  (Each territory has defined routes or areas for which travel charges may be applied.  These are applied consistently for each application for inspection in that area)  Full travel cost includes:

o       Out-of-pocket expenses for transportation equipment or services (e.g. rental fees, tickets);

o       A 10% administration charge on all out-of-pocket transportation costs if the customer requests ESA to make travel arrangements; and

o       $115 per hour or fraction thereof spent by the Inspector.

 

Note:  Additional Travel fees, if applicable, will be added to the application by ESA at the time of processing.
