TMG offers extremely competitive pricing for Public Power through our CISRapid
project approach. Fees are calculated using the following pricing logic:
• $2.00 per customer account for utilities serving up to a maximum of 150,000 accounts
• Pricing remains flat at $300,000 for utilities serving 150,000 to 300,000 accounts.
• $1.00 per customer account for utilities serving between 300,001 and 500,000 accounts
a Pricing is negotiated for utilities serving 500,001 accounts and greater.
• Expenses are based upon actuals incurred and are in addition to the calculated professional fees.
Utilizing this pricing logic professional fees for Lubbock are calculated as follows:
77,000 Lubbock combined customer accounts times $2.00 = $15400009
TMG will provide Lubbock with the services outlined in this proposal for a fixed fee of:

discussion and negotiation.
