Description: SUMMARY OF WORK All services must be performed in accordance with applicable Federal, State and Local regulations. The Consultant will work with City Staff and City Attorney to collect data and develop additional data required to fully support a comprehensive Impact Fees Study, which recommends an economically and legally supportable set of impact fees to offset the growth related to Parks and Recreation, Public Facilities/Buildings, and Multi-modal/transportation impacts due to growth. The Consultant must provide an Impact Fees Study and Plan that complies with the Florida Impact Fees Act (Florida Statutes 2025). Below is an outline of the scope of work desired from the selected Consultant, and required information to be included in the compiled Impact Fees Study and Plan produced by the Consultant: • Professional services to review the City’s Parks and Recreation, Public Facilities/Buildings, and Multi-modal/transportation Impact Fees, and evaluate the impacts of growth from new development on these services. • Collection and assessment of recent, localized data (with assistance from City staff) (F.S. 163.31801(4)(a). • Assess facility, equipment, infrastructure, public facilities, and services needed to support development and growth resulting from annexation, new development, and expansions occurring from redevelopment based on previously accessed forecasts, and existing studies previously prepared for the City. • Preparation of an appropriate impact fees determination methodology and fee assessment schedule, including recommendations on the “phase-in” for impact fee increases required by Section 163.31801(6)(a-g), F.S. (and a comparison with surrounding or comparable cities to ensure reasonableness, consistency and feasibility). • Recommendation of impact fees that are proportional and reasonably connected to, or have a rational nexus with the need for additional capital facilities and the increased impact generated by the new residential or nonresidential/commercial construction (F.S. 163.31801(4)(f). • Recommendation of impact fees that are proportional and reasonably connected to, or have a rational nexus with, the expenditures of the funds collected and the benefits accruing to the new residential or nonresidential/commercial construction (F.S. 163.31801(4)(g). • Review and recommendations for ensuring that revenues generated by impact fees are not used, in whole or in part, to pay existing debt or for previously approved projects unless the expenditures are reasonably connected to, or have a rational nexus with, the increased impacts generated by new residential or nonresidential/commercial construction (F.S. 163.31801(4)(i). • Policy direction on the application of transferability of impact fee credits (F.S.163.31801(10). • Recommendations on timing for review and consideration of any adjustments to exception or waiver of impact fees, and the criteria for same (F.S. 163.31801(11). • A determination of accounting policies that ensure that revenues and expenditures of collected fees are held in separate accounting funds (F.S. 163.31801(4)(b). Page 5 of 27 • Consultant shall outline and coordinate regulatory process required to adopt new or revised impact fees: • Required public notices (F.S. 163.31801(4)(d) • Public hearing(s) with the City Council (F.S. 163.31801) • Coordination with various City Departments and stakeholders • Recommendations on applying impact fee credits (F.S. 163.31801(7). • Recommendations on implementing increases to impact fees in accordance with (F.S. 163.31801(6)(a-g), including “phase-in” approach and public workshops • Review and recommendations for City annual financial report (F.S. 218.32) in compliance with Florida Impact Fees Act (F.S. 163.31801(13)(a-e). • The identification of any additional and clearly identified task(s) the consultant feels is warranted within the proposal. • If requested by the City, the Consultant shall assist the City in defending the impact fee methodology in the event of a legal challenge. Such assistance may include preparing supporting analyses and affidavits, and providing expert witness testimony. Proposers shall provide hourly rates for these services. SERVICES REQUIRED The Consultant will prepare a single compiled report which will serve as both an Impact Fee Study and Plan. The Study and Plan must be prepared consistent with the Florida Impact Fees Act (Florida Statutes 2025), and document the fee study results, including a description of overall assumptions, approach and methodology, findings, supporting justification, plan for use of the collected fees, recommended fee amounts and calculations that provide the legal rational nexus between their recommended fee collection amounts and growth impacts resulting from new development, allocated between residential and non-residential customer base, if appropriate. Impact fees shall be calculated to provide for growth based on forecasts of new development over a 20-year period. The Consultant shall prepare and submit to City staff a minimum of three drafts and status report. A draft for review and discussion with City staff on the revised impact fees.
