consultations, research, investigation and reports:
these services usually precede the authorization of a capital project and may involve extensive investigations, analyses of conditions, and comparison of several possible plans
preliminary and feasibility investigations and reports
consultations, research, investigation and reports:
these services may include the broad areas of developing the engineering requirements of master plans for long-range capital improvement programs; preparation of preliminary engineering of land development plans, urban plans, and regional plans, and the investigation of environmental conditions and preparation of environmental impact studies with subsequent engineering planning to improve or maintain existing conditions
planning studies
consultations, research, investigation and reports:
these services may include investigations and analysis of existing conditions; capital and operating cost; overhead costs and cost of financing; and revenues as needed to evaluate a property or to recommend establishment of prospective rates

consultations, research, investigation and reports:
the civil engineer may be engaged by a client who is planning to issue bonds, particularly revenue bonds, to finance a capital project; the scope of services may include an evaluation of existing or proposed facilities to meet present and projected future needs, statements of probable construction costs, and an estimate of annual revenue requirements, with a determination of appropriate rates to provide this income
assistance in finance matters
consultations, research, investigation and reports:
these services include tests of materials and equipment under established codes and standards, specialized examination of equipment and materials used in construction and industry, and other inspections and monitoring required by a client
