Is there, as in Federal FOIA, a public interest exemption for fees (which on the Federal side means few FOIA responses are billed).
Absent any itemized listing / billing you have nothing to stand on to question / audit the time and work performed to produce your requested FOIA information. Absolutely, do not stand for or take any form whatsoever of a summary / all inclusive statements.
Hey this a no brainer. Insist Herring's office provide an itemized estimate / billing statement by individual's name, title, rate of pay, hours / times to be expended and complete and through description of the work to be performed as well as written documentation to substantiate the description of anticipated work to be performed.
