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