Exhibit A. Scope of Services and Schedule The scope of work follows three phased tasks. The first focuses on the residential sectors: single family and apartments. Analysis will focus on the apartment sector as it is where most new development in expected. The second phase addresses nonresidential sectors. The final phase will summarize the first two phases in a final report and develop work products for an Urban Water Management Plan Update and a future water connection fee study. Task 1. Residential Sector Task 1.1 Data Collection. Consultant will develop and submit a data request to RWC to provide historical electronic water use billing information spanning July 1997 to present. Water use records will be tabulated by billing date, meter size, and meter installation date. Supplemental information will also be tabulated by lot size as available. For the apartment sector, data will also include number of dwelling units. In addition, consultant will collect CIMIS weather data and summarize water price information over time. Consultant will collect long- term water use records (prior to 1996) to show long-run trends in aggregate water use (this may be water production records representing San Francisco pumping). Task 1.2 Water Use Coefficients. Consultant will develop water use coefficients to be used for the forecasts. Residential customers will be segmented as follows: Class (single family and apartments) Age of Structure (<1960, 1960-69, 1970-82, 1983-1992, 1993+) Meter Size Lot size (single family only) [] Number of units (apartments only) Water use coefficients will be normalized for weather using statistical techniques. Additional observations regarding water pricing impacts and future water conservation efficiencies (e.g., replacement with high efficiency toilets) will be developed for scenario planning. Task 1.3 Water Use Drivers. The water use drivers in this study will be number of dwelling units. Consultant will work with RWC staff updating the city General Plan to collect this information. Consultant will also review information collected by ABAG and other sources.
