of CentelVille September 28, 2001 Page 3 The CIP will be prepared for the trunk water system in one-year increments through 2007, in five- . year increments through 2020, and will consider remaining improvements to be post-2020. The CIP will be based on the best available projections from the City for population, land use, and water use. Additionally, the CIP will be linked to benchmark events to allow Centerville to update the CIP easily. For example, wells and water towers will be tied to water use thresholds. Distribution system improvements will be linked to future development or to coincide with street reconstruction projects. Task 7: Economic Analysis The operation of a water utility must have a sound financial basis. Detailed cost estimates for all of the proposed trunk water system facilities will be prepared and presented in the report. An estimate of the land required for wells and water tower-s will be provided so that an estimated cost for land acquisition can be included in the cost of each facility. The City will provide land costs. These costs will be included in the CIP described above. Based on the overall cost of the ultimate water system, a fair and equitable manner of revenue generation will be developed using area and connection charges to pay for the trunk water system. We will review the City's existing charge system and make recommendation for improvements. Task 8: Report and Presentation This task represents the culmination of the planning effort. A Comprehensive Water Plan serves a number of purposes, and is read by a variety of individuals. The information must be presented so that a non-technical audience can easily understand it. At the same time, it must provide sufficient detailed data to ensure that the city staff can use the study in their daily activities and easily update the study as conditions change. The Bonestroo report will include graphics and figures to clarify items discussed in the report. The information in the report will be organized for ease of access by various audiences. A clear, concise Executive Summary and Recommendations section will assist the City Council and the city staff to review this document. Technical information will generally be placed in an appendix. This work consists of the folloWing subtasks: . Draft Report for Staff Review: For several of the major tasks described above, technical memoranda will be prepared and submitted to Centerviile for revieW. Because the results of one task can affect others, technical memoranda on each task will be prepared as the task is completed. A draft report for the entire study, including all applicable maps, figures, and appendices will be compiled and presented to city staff for review. . Final Report: Following review by city staff, a final report will be prepared and 25 copies submitted to Centerville. Key team members will present a summary of the report to the City Council. Compensation and Schedule We propose to complete the Basic Work Plan for a lump sum of $14,800. The Basic Work Plan can be completed within four months of the notice to proceed.
