Mr. Francisco Gutierrez November 14, 2011 Page 4 municipal franchise fees had for setting their fees. We summarized a statewide survey to help the clientz and assisted in developing a new approach for the city. III. Staffing Assisting me will be Ms. Sima Mostafaei, who works with me on all of our water, sewer, and stormwater rate studies. The qualifications we bring to this study will combine our specific expertise with Proposition 218 and Roseville with direct experience with studies of this type. We also bring our broader experience in rate making, which will enable us understand the overall impact on rates of any similar utility service that could be affected by applying the same approach. In other words, we have the skills needed to not only develop legally defensible approaches, but to also clearly demonstrate the funding and potential rate impacts. IV. Schedule and Budget We understand that time is of the essence. We would be prepared to start upon notice to proceed and would expect to complete the work in 45 days. We propose a budget of $10,000, which includes two meetings at the City by me. The City would be billed on a time-and-expenses basis for services rendered. If additional services are required for subsequent analysis, we can provide a budget estimate for the specific work based on our hourly rates ($210 and $155 per hour for me and Sima, respectively). I hope this proposal addresses your needs. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. I appreciate the opportunity to submit this proposal.
