Overview

Summary

General work description:

The City of South San Francisco is seeking proposals from qualified professional firms to conduct a Comprehensive Sewer Rate Study, conduct the necessary property owner mailing and participate in the public hearing to adopt the proposed rates. The purpose of this study is to prepare a cost-of-service study, validate the appropriate rate structure, and recommend rates for the City that generate adequate revenue to cover:

• Current and future operations and maintenance costs based on established and anticipated regulations and industry best management practices;
• Rate stabilization;
• Capital Improvement project costs;
• An adequate reserve fund;
• Required debt coverage; and
• Necessary studies to maintain an efficient and resilient utility.

The primary objective is to ensure long-term revenue sufficiency, develop equitable cost-of-service allocations, and maintain full compliance with California Proposition 218.

The selected firm will develop a 20-year financial projection and model with a recommended not to exceed 5-year rate schedule. The selected firm shall provide the financial model in a format accessible to City staff, including adjustable inputs and variables to allow staff to evaluate and model future scenarios.
