SCOPE OF WORK <br />DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE <br />To make certain the City of Santa Ana continues to provide basic municipal services as the <br />City grows, RCS proposes to undertake the calculation and textual support of a new <br />Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report. RCS staff will perform the following <br />to complete the Development Impact Fee (DIF) calculation and quantify the costs generated <br />by new development in terms of an Impact Fee Schedule for city land uses. <br />Based on our preliminary review of the reports and documentation available by the City, we <br />propose development impact fees for the following infrastructures. <br />1. Law Enforcement, Vehicles, and Equipment <br />2. Fire Suppression/Medic Facilities, Vehicles and Equipment <br />3. Transportation System Improvement Area <br />4. Transit Zoning Code Traffic Impact Mitigation Fair Share <br />5. Harbor Specific Plan Mitigation Fair Share <br />6. Drainage Assessment Fee <br />7. Park Acquisition and Development Fee <br />8. Sewer Connection Fee <br />9. Water Connection Fee <br />10. Library Fee <br />11. General Facilities Development Fee <br />12. Community Centers Development Fee <br />RCS has the experience and determination to research and identify the maximum financial <br />impact of future developments in Santa Ana. With this information, staff can realize the city's <br />best funding and implementation policies. <br />We plan to use a series of direct, focused meetings between RCS experts and knowledgeable <br />City staff to produce an accurate, logical, and defensible final product. RCS' objective is to <br />ensure that City staff feels confident about the data and the report and, therefore, confident <br />in supporting the results at public hearings. <br />The fee recommendations included in RCS' final Development Impact Fee Calculation and <br />Nexus Report will be legally defensible, easy to understand, and supported by City staff. Our <br />years of experience in impact fees and working with local government finance officers <br />ensures this project will be completed successfully and on time. <br />To provide the basis for the Development Impact Fees, the following steps would be taken <br />by the Revenue & Cost Specialist staff, working with City staff and other consultants where <br />necessary and appropriate: <br />Proposal for the City of Santa Ana, CA <br />Page 11 <br />
