<br />City of Redwood City <br />Sewer Rate Study <br /> <br />Exhibit A <br />4 <br /> <br />. The resulting rates by customer class. <br />. A comparison of rates in similar communities in the surrounding region. <br />. A summary of the final recommendations. <br /> <br />This report will be submitted to the Utilities Committee in draft form for review and <br />comment. The City's comments will then be incorporated into the final report along <br />with any additional analyses that are required to refine the recommendation. This <br />final report is intended to serve as a clear and easily understood public document to be <br />read by the general public as well as the City Council and other City officials. <br />Therefore, we will be concise and emphasize the use of graphics, summary tables, bar <br />charts (e.g., for rate comparisons), and rely largely on non-technical terminology. <br /> <br />Task 4. Provide Implementation Support <br /> <br />Implementation support will occur in two areas. The first concerns updating the City's <br />sewer rate ordinance. Once the new rate structure, including the phasing for <br />implementation, is resolved, the consulting team will assist Staff and the City Attorney <br />in revising and modifying the City's sewer rate ordinance (Le., Chapter 27 - Sanitary <br />Sewerage Facilities, especially Article IX - Fees and Charges). <br /> <br />The second area concerns assisting the City with the subsequent use of the models to <br />conform with the evolving circumstances at the City. We will provide site and <br />telephonic training consultations with the City's staff to assist with implementation <br />and initial administration of the rate models. <br /> <br />Additional support related to meetings, such as meeting attendance and providing <br />presentation material, is included in the previous tasks. <br /> <br />SUMMARY OF MEETINGS <br /> <br />The following is a summary of the various meetings included in the above Scope of <br />Services: <br /> <br />. City Staff - 3 separate meetings (Tasks 1 through 3) plus an allowance for <br />additional on-site or telephonic consultations during implementation. <br />. City Staff and Utilities Committee - 2 separate meetings. <br />. City Council- 1 meeting. <br />. An allowance for one additional meeting, which could be with SBSA staff or others, <br />as needed. <br /> <br />PROJECT SCHEDULE <br /> <br />The following is the proposed project schedule for the above Scope of Services. <br /> <br />Hilton Farnkopf & Hobson, LLC <br /> <br />1/27/99 <br />
