flows and equivalencies; (v) sources and related terms of funding for existing and proposed system <br />capacity expansion improvements; and (vi) other data as such becomes evident. <br />3. Data Analysis — Capital costs for existing and proposed property, plant and equipment will be <br />reviewed and accumulated pursuant to major functional system categories, (i.e., source of supply, <br />treatment, transmission, disposal, general plant, etc). Original costs may be adjusted to current <br />replacement costs pursuant to an appropriate nationally published construction inflation index or <br />current cost information maintained by the County, County's Utility Engineer and/or Consulting <br />Engineer. System and customer demands, capacities and relevant criteria will be reviewed to identify <br />the appropriate determinants for use in the development of each impact fee. Existing and proposed <br />financing costs associated with expansion related facilities will be identified and included as <br />appropriate. County staff will be included in the process of clarifying information and data concerning <br />the costs, capacities, useful lives and condition of the existing facilities, probable near term system <br />expansion capital improvements and customer demands. Upon completion of the data analysis, a <br />meeting will be scheduled with County staff to review and obtain concurrence with the findings. <br />4. Impact Fee Development — The development of impact fees will be based on the information and <br />data obtained and developed for this study. The approach, in addition to current facility costs, will <br />include necessary adjustments to reflect financing costs and credits as applicable. Additionally, a <br />schedule will be developed comparing existing and proposed single family water and wastewater impact <br />fees of the County to those of nearby communities. <br />5. Level of Service Appropriateness — A billing frequency, engineering design and industry data will be <br />utilized in reviewing the appropriateness of the LOS criteria assigned to an equivalency for each utility <br />service. <br />6. Presentation of Preliminary Findings — A meeting with County staff will be requested to present <br />the findings associated with this Scope of Service items 1 through 5. The objective of the meeting will <br />be to obtain concurrence any direction from County staff with respect to the salient items affecting <br />the preparation of a draft report. <br />7. Draft Report — Pursuant to consideration of comments from County staff concerning the preliminary <br />findings, a draft report will be prepared containing discussions, tables, schedules and supporting <br />documentation of the study process, methodology, approach, facility costs, development of impact <br />fees, comparisons, findings and conclusions. The draft report will be provided to County staff for <br />review and comments in electronic format. <br />8. Draft Report Meeting — One meeting will be held with County staff to present the draft report. It is <br />anticipated that upon completion of the draft report meeting County staff will provide sufficient level <br />of comments and directions to finalize the report. <br />9. Final Report — A signed electronic copy of the final report will be provided to the County. <br />10. Assist with Draft Ordinance — Assist County staff with preparation of draft ordinance/resolution <br />together with providing reviews and comments of the final ordinance/resolution as prepared by <br />County. <br />11.
