RWA Fee Reform

The new fee structure combines the current sliding scale fee and 4% fee associated with non recurring RWAs into a single fee, determined by a percentage of overall project costs. There are 18 cost ranges within the new fee structure, and a stepped fee percentage rate that decreases as total project costs rise. This chart shows the new fee structure, including ranges and rates.

The Public Buildings Service is mandated by federal law to recover the full cost of providing reimbursable work, and we aim to do so while providing our customers with the highest level of service. Over the past several years, an internal team has worked to ensure we meet our fiscal obligations while identifying ways to make project delivery more efficient. The results of this effort have put several new initiatives into place.
