Description

The Town has been undergoing rapid growth relative to the size of the community. This, coupled with aging infrastructure, led us to conduct a series of plans and studies that have identified a need for a Water Rate Study.
The Document will serve as a guide for establishing fair rates for our current water and sewer customers in addition to establishing a sustainable Plant Investment Fee (PIF) or Impact Fee structure for future development.
The Document shall be created in such a way that allows for reconsideration of rates on a 5-year basis in order to adjust for future growth, necessary improvements to our water systems and economic impacts.
The Document shall consider current operational costs as well as data presented in the Town’s 10-year CIP, Water Efficiency Study, Water Supply Study, Wellfield Study and Sewer Master Plan.
The Document shall review the Town’s current rate and impact fee structures and align potential adjustments with projected growth and development to help the Town Board of Trustees make informed decisions around the fee and rate structures..
The Awarded Applicant shall work with the Water Utilities Superintendent, Finance Director, Public Works Director and Town Manager to build a fee structure that promotes the sustainability of the water and wastewater systems.
The rate structure options shall be easy to understand and administer. It should also encourage water efficiency while considering social equity, and the challenges faced in residential communities that are integrated with a transient mountain resort population.
MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS: Consultant must have experience evaluating municipal Water Systems per Colorado State Requirements.
The proposed rate structure report shall include:
- An assessment of the impact on funding and the economic wellbeing of the community.
- Demonstrate how the revenue generated by the proposed rate structure will continue to fund water and sewer system costs.
- Demonstrate how the revenue collected by the proposed impact fees or PIFs will fund the construction of the facilities and appurtenances necessary to provide service to new construction projects.
- Provide a comprehensive summary of recommended rate structures and assess the performance of the recommended structures against the current rate structure.
- Provide a comparison of the rate structures adopted by municipalities in recent years that face similar challenges and demographics as the Town.
- Demonstrate how the recommended rate structures would promote water efficiency, sustainability, and equitability across all customer types and demographics.
- The final product shall be easy to understand, administer, and be easily updateable on a 5-year basis.
