Contracting for Government Services--How Much to Pay? How Much to Charge?

Thomas Stinson

Rural America/ Rural Development Perspectives, 1985, vol. 01, issue 3

Abstract: Small communities often try to save money by paying neighboring communities for special government services like firefighting. Both communities benefit when the price is right. But each usually has different ideas on what the right price is. The author suggests that most cases offer room to negotiate within a range of prices, all of which are "right" for both communities.
