The scope of work includes Task 0:Assess Current Fees-Project <br /> Initiation Meeting; an initial assessment of the City's current development impact fees(DIFs).At this <br /> meeting we will determine (jointly with City Staff)which fee categories that the City Council should consider <br /> moving forward with in terms of the completion of the"full"task plan. The cost estimate provided herein is <br /> based on an assumption that the decision will be to move forward with all of the existing DIFs;to the extent <br /> one or more fee areas are eliminated from the analysis we would adjust the level of effort and cost <br /> estimate. However, it should be noted that the level of effort associated with developing land use <br /> assumptions (LUA)will not be affected by the number of fee areas to be studied. In similar fashion,other <br /> tasks will likely have minimal level of effort reductions should one or more fee areas be eliminated from this <br /> project. However,there are some tasks that would be impacted by the decision to not move forward with <br /> some fee areas,e.g., Task 2 Service Level and Task 4 Capacity Needs and Costs. <br /> The following cost estimate schedule contains hours by consultant by task, along with expenses. Task 10 <br /> represents the utility rate study however;some of the associated report preparation and meeting costs are <br /> contained in Tasks 11 and 12, respectively. An important"driver"or consideration in the project cost <br /> estimated is the approach to engaging the public and the number of meetings with both the City Council <br /> and Staff. We have assumed that a formal Advisory Committee will not be formed but that the public would <br /> be engaged through a series of Stakeholder meetings—two such meetings. <br /> A summary of the meetings(11 total meetings, including 3"live"meetings) is provided below: <br /> Meeting Red Oak Attendees <br /> Staff Meeting Task 0—Assess Current Fees- Rick Giardina,Andrew Rheem and Pat Walker <br /> Project Initiation <br /> 3 City Council Presentations/Public Hearings Rick Giardina attends 2;Andrew Rheem and Pat Walker <br /> attend 1 public hearing <br /> I 2 Stakeholder Meetings I Pat Walker and Andrew Rheem attend both <br /> 5 Staff Meetings(2 on-site,3 remote) Rick Giardina attends live meetings; Pat Walker and <br /> Andrew Rheem attend 2 on-site and 3 live meetings. <br /> A key consideration in the development of the LUA is the availability of land use data;this is also true <br /> regarding other data elements, e.g.,customer data for the utility rate study and capital cost data for both <br /> efforts.This cost estimate is premised on the availability of data(from the City) as needed for both the DIF <br /> and utility rate efforts. Should the required data not be available we would discuss this with the City and <br /> jointly determine the most efficient way to address/work around any data deficiencies. <br /> nam<- J133 a41Q1 ; • , RE[_) CO ^f j 11. ;Nt_E <br /> Pathways to Lasting Solutions. <br /> Phoenix AZ , <br /> �, <br />
