YKUYUJAL KV Y IN U. 14 —U�ay Ek, Proposal Provided to, `"'' City of Santa Ana, Public Works Agancy t,,¢ia'f Once the Draft Study is developed, the LWA Team will conduct an independent review in order to confirm the accuracy of the Study and the supporting documentation. As noted within the organizational chart (Figure 1. LWA Team Organization), the LWA Team will use Dan Cloak as an independent reviewer. Deliverables: Outline Draft Fee Study & Supporting Documentation Independent Review of Draft Fee Study Draft Final Fee Study & Supporting Documentation Final Fee Study & Supporting Documentation 2,1.5 Task 5. Revenue Source Implementation Support (As Needed & Directed by City Staff) Although the actual revenue source implementation support will be dependent upon the conclusions of the Fee Study and further direction from the City, the LWA Team has included our initial thoughts as to what tasks may be requested and the range of associated costs. A — Implementation Management, including Balloting and Community Outreach The LWA Team will assist as needed with the implementation of the selected funding mechanism(s). The types of assistance that may be provided includes implementation planning and management; feasibility analysis including public opinion polling; development of supporting resolutions and Fee Report (see Task SB, below), design, printing, mailing of balloting documents, and planning and implementation of community outreach. Possible Deliverables: Survey Instrument and Report Community Outreach Plan Community Outreach Collateral Materials (e,g., Handouts, FAQs, etc.) Complete Proposition 218 compliant Fee Report /Tax Report B— Fee Report, including Detailed Runoff and Pollutant Loading Calculations The LWA Team could develop, and /or assist with the development of the required supporting document for a dedicated revenue source (If a property - related fee is selected, the Team can develop the supporting report that is often called a Fee Report, Nexus Study or Engineer's Report. If a special tax is selected, a Tax Report can be developed.). It is anticipated that a rate structure will be developed based upon a number of key property attributes, including property use, property size and location, runoff coefficient, and pollutant loading. In Task 3, above, the Team will develop the foundation for the runoff coefficient (impervious area) and pollutant loading factors. Of these, the determination of pollutant loading is the most complex and has the least established precedent, and accordingly, the Team's approach is discussed below. This approach would be used in Task 3, and further, as part of Fee Report. Evaluation of Methodologies - The LWA Team will identify available, peer reviewed pollutant loading quantification methodologies, tools, and models and evaluate their potential use in allocating costs. These tools range from spreadsheet -based approaches to complex and costly watershed models that have been used throughout Los Angeles and San Diego Counties under the Enhanced Watershed Management Program (Los Angeles) and Water Quality Improvement Plan (San Diego) frameworks. The evaluation of pollutant loading allocation methodologies will consider the availability of Santa Ana and /or Orange County- specific land use, outfall, and receiving water monitoring datasets that may enhance or limit the value of using various methods to allocate costs. The LWA team will recommend a pollutant loading and .. NPDES & Environmental Programs Fee Study Page 1 24 RFP No, 14 -069 - June 23, 2015 at 2:00 p.m.
