Agreement for Preparation of a <br />Sanitary Sewer and Water <br />Financial Plan <br />October 3, 2011 <br />Page 2 <br />Staff recommends that Black & Veatch Corporation be retained for this project. Their proposal <br />encompassed a clear understanding of the City's goals and objectives as required by the RFP. <br />The primary result is expected to include a Rehabilitation and Replacement (R&R) Program and a <br />reasonable rate schedule. <br />In addition, their proposal will provide the City with two separate tools for future use. The first tool is <br />a database intended to categorize all the City's water and sewer assets. Black & Veatch <br />Corporation's database tool allows the City to update the condition of assets on an on-going basis <br />and Black & Veatch proposes to assist with potential interfaces with the City's asset management <br />systems. <br />The R&R Program schedule of recommendations generated by the database feeds into the <br />second tool proposed, which is a financial model for each utility. This financial modeling tool will <br />allow consideration of different capital improvement needs, develop an prioritize R&R schedules, <br />and provide for "what-if' analyses for various reserve funding and rate increase scenarios. Black & <br />Veatch Corporation designed both tools for use on an on-going basis. <br />ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT <br />There is no environmental impact associated with this action. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />Funds are available in the Water Administrative and Engineering Fund (account no. 06017645 <br />62300). <br />APPROVED AS TO FUNDS AND ACCOUNTS: <br />Raul Godinez II <br />Executive Direc or <br />Public Works Agency <br />Francisco Gutierrez <br />Executive Director <br />Finance & Management Services Agency <br />RG:RB <br />Exhibit: 1.
