ATTACHMENT B <br /> SCOPE OF WORK <br /> INDIAN RIVER COUNTY <br /> DEVELOPMENT OF WHOLESALE RATES FOR WATER & WASTEWATER <br /> SERVICE FOR THE CITY OF FELLSMERE <br /> BACKGROUND <br /> The City of Fellsmere (the "City" ) is in the process of rapid growth, and would like to consider <br /> the alternative of purchasing water and wastewater service from Indian River County ( " IRC" ) <br /> on a wholesale basis to meet these future demands . Such an alternative could prove more cost- <br /> effective than the City constructing its own facilities . Accordingly, IRC has requested CDM to <br /> prepare the following scope of services that will develop planning-level cost estimates for <br /> wholesale rates for the City. In addition, these cost estimates could be extrapolated in a <br /> subsequent analysis to estimate the costs for wholesale service if other entities were to express <br /> interest in wholesale rates . Furthermore, any additional items found necessary beyond those set <br /> out in the detailed scope of services would be studied under a subsequent work authorization. <br /> SCOPE OF SERVICES <br /> CDM shall perform the following described engineering services related to the wholesale rates <br /> for water and wastewater service to the City of Fellsmere . <br /> Task 1 - Initial Meeting <br /> The first task will be a meeting with County staff and other parties as appropriate to gain a <br /> thorough understanding of the background for the project. Current and future capacity <br /> requirements of the City will be obtained . A key activity of this meeting will be to review maps <br /> of the proposed routing of transmission mains and potential "Points of Connection" with the <br /> City. Such information is important in developing capital cost estimates . Data will be requested <br /> to estimate capital charges for the bulk rate . Also, operating expenses of the Indian River <br /> County water supply and treatment, and wastewater treatment and disposal will be obtained <br /> for review . <br /> Task 2 - Develop Planning Level Capital Charges for Wholesale Rates <br /> CDM will develop capital costs to be included in the wholesale rates for water and wastewater <br /> service . The costs will include existing treatment facilities of the County, plus the costs of <br /> transmission facilities from treatment plants to the Points of Connection. The costs of any <br /> necessary transmission facilities on the City' s side of the Points of Connection are assumed <br /> borne directly by the City itself. <br /> Planning level capital charges will be computed using two different approaches . One approach <br /> will be fixed monthly charges based on reserved capacities, and irrespective of actual demands . <br /> The other approach would be a charge per thousand gallons based on assumptions of annual <br /> average daily flows . <br /> B-1 mh1297 <br />
