Tab K & L: Project Approach & Project Schedule measures the benefit to each land use based on the presence of people at that land use throughout the day. In other words, land uses are charged for the availability of these services based on full-time equivalent persons present at each land use throughout the day. For public education facilities, demand is measured in terms of student generation rate. Tindale Oliver has developed a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) -based approach that ties student addresses to parcel addresses from the Property Appraiser's database. We used this approach in school impact fee studies for several counties, including Indian River County, which resulted in a more accurate and detailed demand component. The student generation rates will reflect the average number of public school students by type of school (elementary, middle, high) per housing unit and will be calculated for each type of dwelling unit (single-family, multi- family, mobile home, etc.). Finally, as part of this task, land uses included in the County's impact fee schedules will be reviewed and discussed with the County to determine if certain changes are necessary. This work effort will be documented in the technical report. Subtask 2.5 - Cost Component The cost component for each impact fee program area will be calculated to reflect the current cost of adding capacity in Indian River County. Cost elements reviewed will include design and engineering inspection, construction, right-of- way, bridge construction costs, roadway safety improvements, land purchase, vehicle/equipment purchase, and other related costs. Tindale Oliver will review the Capital Improvement Programs, Long Range Transportation Plan, the Capital Improvement Element of the Comprehensive Plan, the Indian River County School District Capital Improvement Plan and Master Plan, annual budgets/reports, recent bids, recently - completed local projects (past five years), recent land/ROW purchases or appraisals, and other relevant documents to identify capital service facility system improvement costs that may be considered in the calculation of the cost component of the impact fee formula for the County. This information will compared to and/ or supplemented with Tindale Oliver's cost databases that include information from other Florida jurisdictions. - In the case of school impact fees, local cost estimates will be compared to the construction costs established by the Department of Education (DOE) to comply with the 2016 legislation requiring school districts to limit their spending on new construction to estimates prepared by DOE. Based on discussions with the School District and County staff input, the appropriate cost level will be used in the final calculations. This work effort will be documented in the technical report. Subtask 2.6 - Credit Component Tindale Oliver will review historical and projected capital improvement funding sources and expenditures for land, construction, design and engineering inspection and other related costs in Indian River County. These may include the recently extended local option sales tax, fuel tax, ad valorem tax, grants, and other non -impact fee funding. Debt service for any bond proceeds used for capacity expansion projects will be reviewed and documented as appropriate. These calculations will reflect any recent and/or anticipated changes in how the capital assets are funded. This information will be used to prepare the credit component of the impact fee formula. This work effort will be documented in the technical report. Subtask 2.7 - Transportation Impact Fee Benefit Districts (Addresses Task 4 of the RFP scope) Tindale Oliver will review existing three impact fee benefit districts and make recommendations regarding any boundary changes and/or reduction in the number of districts. The analysis will be based on a review of physical or man- made barriers, municipal boundaries, travel patterns in the county, revenue generation in each benefit district and other similar criteria. If desired by the County, as part of this analysis, Tindale Oliver will identify any regional roads that may be eligible for funding from all districts. TASK3: Update of Affordable Growth Model (Addresses Task 2 of the RFP scope) As part of the 2014 update study, Tindale Oliver developed an affordable growth model for Indian River County. This model evaluates the available INDIAN RIVER COUNTY I Impact Fee Update TindaleA ,Oliver K & L - 4 www.tindaleoliver.com
