expenditures
These supplementary data should provide a much more detailed and accurate perspective
of the financial impacts of EPA’s CWA mandates on the City’s municipality and its
ratepayers.
To perform the FCA, Consultant will collect socioeconomic data from the American
Community Survey (ACS) and other open source data from the Census Bureau and other
official state and Federal sources as needed. Consultant will also obtain detailed
financial data from the City including its latest CAFR, its bond ratings, and budget
information on the operation of its wastewater utility. Sources of debt by type and annual
payment obligations will also be obtained. These data will then be used to generate the
metrics that comprise the FCA scorecard. Consultant will use the supplemental data to
adjust the scorecard as applicable and provide a detailed evaluation on how the
supplemental data demonstrates the true economic impact of the CWA mandates.

Task 7 — Public Participation
City will conduct public workshops to inform the community of the LTCP Update/Integrated Plan
and encourage residents to participate in the process. Workshops will be conducted at key
milestones during the development of the LTCP/IP. While Consultant will not lead this task,
Consultant will be available for questions/support for the City in their preparation/execution of
these meetings.
Task 8 ~ Permit/Regulatory Requirement Assessment
MS4 Permit needs, and any new NPDES requirements, will be addressed and evaluated such that
the implications of this work will be incorporated into the LTCP/IP.
Task 9 — Project Identification and Ranking
Consultant will coordinate a workshop with the City to rank the final criteria by applying
importance weights. This will be done using an iterative process with City staff. Staff will
individually rank the benefit categories and criteria in order of importance to them based on their
own judgement, then staff will perform a pair-wise comparison, which consists of comparing two
criteria at a time to each other for all pairing scenarios. This will be repeated and reviewed until
there is agreement on the relative importance of all criteria to each other.
The final project list to be included in the LTCP/IP analysis will be developed. This list will
incorporate any projects identified as a result of the above investigation and study-phase tasks, as
well as any other projects defined since development of the initial list. Other project constraints
will be determined, such as “mission critical” projects that must be done and are therefore not to
be subject to optimization scheduling. Project cost estimates and required life cycle durations will
