BML Recharge Rates

*All BML recharge rates are subject to a 33.7% Non-University Differential (NUD) assessment for non-UC clients.

For multi-year budget planning, we recommend adding an escalator of 3%/yr for all recharge services. UC policy requires that all BML recharge rates be reviewed annually and adjusted as appropriate to ensure full cost recovery.
