EXHIBIT "A" <br /> Kennedy/Jenks Consultants <br /> <br />Mr. Chu Chang <br />City of Redwood City <br />25 March 2003 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />Task 1 - Gather and Evaluate Other Water Demand/Wastewater Flow <br />Estimation Methodologies <br /> <br />Task la -Water Demand Estimation Methodology <br /> <br />This task includes contacting and gathering water demand estimation methodologies for use in <br />establishing connection charges and water demand estimates from up to 5 different cities/water <br />agencies in Northern and Southern California. We will solicit information from those cities/water <br />agencies that are experiencing issues such as development and redevelopment and limited <br />water supplies that are similar to Redwood City's to the greatest extent possible. Since there <br />are two main uses for the water demand estimates, 1) infrastructure sizing and 2) water supply <br />allocation, our interviews will attempt to identify any differences in methodologies used to <br />establish estimates for these two uses. <br /> <br />We will also be seeking as much detailed, project-level (e.g. hospital or R&D lab) information for <br />water demand estimation, if available. If this project-level information is not available we may <br />need to assume that the water demand estimation methodologies of other agencies are general <br />in nature and are most likely based on land-use and planning-level information. <br /> <br />Kennedy/Jenks will contact the Northern California Cities and agencies of Palo Alto, San Mateo, <br />Santa Clara, and/or San Jose Water Company to obtain the water demand estimation <br />methodologies. Palo Alto was selected for the recent Veterans Administration Hospital <br />expansion and San Mateo was selected for the Mills Peninsula Hospital expansion. In addition, <br />Southern California agencies that may be contacted include Vallecitos Water District as well as <br />water purveyors within the adjudicated Mojave Water Basin such as Victor Valley Water District, <br />Baldy Mesa Water District or the Hesperia Water District. If, after contacting the up to 8 <br />cities/agencies indicated above, specific data for 5 cities/water agencies cannot be obtained, up <br />to 3 additional cities/agencies will be contacted. <br /> <br />We estimate that this initial contact effort will require up to 5 hours per city or water agency for <br />making the contact, finding the correct person within the agency, obtaining the desired <br />information, and evaluating and summarizing the information. It is expected that up to 2 of the <br />Northern California cities/water agencies will require a site visit to review files and CEQA <br />documents for specific, detailed project-level information, therefore an additional 6 hours of time <br />per agency have been included. The estimated effort to complete this portion of the task is 66 <br />hours. <br /> <br />Task lb -Wastewater Flow Generation Estimate Methodoloqy <br /> <br />The City is also interested in obtaining wastewater flow generation estimate methodologies as <br />related to connection fees and facility sizing. The cities/water agencies contacted for water <br />demand estimation methodologies will be asked to provide those methodologies when <br />available. In addition, the engineers located in our Palo Alto office that perform District <br />Engineering services for the Granada Sanitary District, the Bayshore Sanitary District, and the <br />East Palo Alto Sanitary District will be consulted for the flow estimation methods and connection <br /> <br /> Page I of 5 <br /> <br /> <br />
