We look forward to continuing our professional relationship. Please find enclosed two (2) copies of our Executed Agreement. Upon signing, please return one copy to the undersigned and keep one copy for your records. SCOPE OF SERVICES Citywide User and Regulatory Fee Analysis Conduct Administrative Kick -Off Meeting. Conduct onsite administrative project commencement meetings with City staff members in each department / division who will manage the progress, completion, and implementation of the study's findings. This meeting will include a discussion of expectations and an overview of the process for conducting the analysis, including: coordination for onsite and remote interactions with City personnel, timeline for project completion, global data needs, established policies and procedures, and other topics. Gather and Analyze Data. Acquire published or accessible data from the City, centering on adopted budgets, recent financial performance (revenues and expenditures), current labor cost detail and classifications, organizational structures, existing relevant policies, existing time - tracking and volumetric data, and other items of a more global nature. As data is acquired, consultants will catalog necessary financial, procedural, and organizational information and will extract or input data into electronic form for use in analytical models and narrative documentation. Design Fee Structure and Commence Divisional Meetings. Conduct onsite project commencement events with Department / Division staff known to provide the fee - related services under review in this study. The chief purpose of these meetings is to acquire a broad understanding of organization, performance of core services, as well as basic staffing structures /lines of command. Applying industry expertise, NBS consultants will recommend and develop fee structures (as opposed to amounts) for the program. helping communities fund tomorrow Conduct Time Study. Determine and communicate the subsequent steps to acquire and /or develop organizational, performance, and time information necessary for establishing costs of service for justifying fees. NBS will develop an approach and tools for acquiring and /or developing the organizational, performance, and time information necessary for justifying fees. For areas where simple remote questionnaires may suffice, develop and route the forms to key personnel within each department / division studied. For areas where onsite interviews will be necessary, coordinate scheduling and develop interview tools. Conduct onsite events to generate organizational, performance, and time information necessary for justifying fees. Prepare Iterations and Time Study Module. After acquiring information developed through questionnaires and /or interviews, determine any necessary secondary course of action to continue and /or refine organizational, performance, and time data. One to two iterations of the time and service analysis are generally required to ensure that the cost of service analysis is defensible and reasonable. Iterative efforts will be manageable through the use of highly - concentrated /targeted remote questionnaires, which will be routed to the appropriate divisional personnel. The product of this sub -task will be a model of the complete organizational, performance, and time requirements for the services under review in this study. Develop Time /Cost Module. Prepare the module that will perform the time valuation analysis. This module will determine the full cost of service on an annual basis for the program, as well as for its individual application processing, review and regulatory services. The module will also provide an hourly cost basis for the program, and as warranted, by classification of personnel. Integrate City financial/budget data, payroll /labor data, and established overhead charges or cost allocations, as follows: Define the direct costs of service involved in each service under review in this study. Direct costs reflect those specifically related to the provision of service embodied by the activities reflected in the fee schedule, as well as any potential additions to that list. Define the indirect costs of service involved in each service under review in this study. Indirect costs are those incurred to support the provision of direct service, and may be reflected in many functional forms, depending on the division and/or direct services in questions. Examples of indirect functions include administrative support, customer service /public information, code /policy /standards maintenance, training, and management. Outside of discrete functions, indirect costs may also include tangible items, such as materials and supplies. Determine applicable City -wide indirect costs, such as those defined by an overhead cost allocation plan or other analysis maintained by the City to determine appropriate shares of administrative, support services, and /or governance costs. Develop Fully- burdened Hourly Rates. Calculate fully- burdened hourly rates for all divisions directly involved in the provision of the services under review in this study. Hourly rates will be computed at various levels: composite rates for each division, composite rates for core functions of service within divisions, and where warranted, composite rates for different classifications of employee within each division. Consider the applicability of productive hours or direct - billed hours as the basis for the rate calculation. Determine Full Cost of Services. This module will determine the full cost of service at an activity level for each individual service selected as a candidate for a new fee. Integrate applicable information developed in the Organizational Analysis and the Time Valuation to develop activity costs of service. Apply performance /time estimates at identified activity levels to the fully- burdened hourly rates developed in the Time Valuation tasks to determine the full cost of service for each fee - related service. Add any discrete materials /services costs not reflected in the time valuation for specific activities, such as substantial equipment and incremental contract services. NBS Page 2 Conduct Meetings / Revisions. Based on review with City staff, revise core analytical modules and finalize the activity costs of service. (This represents a planned iteration of the analytical work products.) Calculate the final unit costs of service that will serve as the foundation for any revised fee amounts and /or fee structure. Issue Final Report. Prepare a written report describing the complete work and findings of the project. Include an executive summary, narrative sections detailing the Fee Structure Design, Organizational Analysis, Time Valuation, and Cost of Service Analysis. Include technical appendices detailing the entire body of analysis supporting outcomes. Issue the draft report in electronic form (portable document format) to City staff and management for review. Issue the draft final report to City staff and management. Perform one iterative round of changes and incorporation of City staff and management's comments. issue the final technical models and supporting information to the City in Microsoft Excel (XLS) format for future in -house use and modification. Legislative Process. The purpose of this task is to support actively the City's process to legislatively review, approve, and implement the resulting fees stemming from this study. In anticipation of City Council review, prepare foundational presentation materials for use in public meetings. Prepare for and attend one meeting of the City Council to present study findings and respond to questions on behalf of or in support of City staff. Prepare for and attend one meeting of the City Council at which a public hearing is expected in advance of a City Council action to approve modified and /or new fees.
