CIT`( OF PASCO
PROCESS WATER REUSE FACILITY
COST OF SERVICE RATE STUDY
FCS GROUP is pleased to submit this proposed scope of services and budget to update the cost -of -
service model for the Process Water Reuse Facility (PWRF), recognizing new future conditions. The
City of Pasco (City) is currently working with Burnham SEV to design facilities that capture methane
gas produced by the decomposition of wastewater and turn it into renewable natural gas for sale on
the market. The sharing of this additional revenue source, as well as the costs paid to Burnham SEV
for wastewater treatment expenses, will be incorporated into the City's rate model to determine cost -
of -service based rates. Total revenues and expenses will be forecast into the future to ensure ongoing
operational and future capital costs are fully satisfied and customers are charged commensurate with
the cost incurred to serve them.
The following tasks describe the process required to complete the discussed analysis.
TASK 1A I RATE STUDY PROJECT KICK OFF MEETING
FCS GROUP will schedule a project initiation meeting with the City to commence work on the rate
study update portion of this study. The meeting will identify study objectives, review methodology and
expectations, confirm schedule, and discuss team roles. We recommend this meeting be conducted
remotely to save budget.
TASK 1 B I RATE STUDY DATA COLLECTIONNALIDATION
FCS GROUP will provide a data needs list encompassing historical and projected revenue, expenses,
capital improvement plans, monitored loading metrics, debt schedules, fiscal policies, deferred
maintenance strategies and other relevant planning information. The data will be reviewed, analyzed
and validated for inclusion in the study process.
CITY OF PASCO June 2022
PWRF Cost of Service Rate Study page 2
TASK 1C f REVENUE REQUIREMENT
FCS GROUP will update the revenue requirement to include the most recent budget projections,
growth assumptions, and capital improvement plans.
We will design the analysis to be flexible and stable enough to analyze multiple scenarios. Sub -tasks
include:
a. Develop the forecast of operating revenues and expenses to reflect the most current budget.
Adjust for the addition of payments to Burnham SEV for design, build and operation of
wastewater treatment infrastructure (Phase 111).
b. Incorporate the most recent capital plans related to the Phase I and Phase 11 improvements
providing conveyance and storage, as well as any additional infrastructure to provide the
necessary service levels. Develop a capital funding plan that balances internal and external
resources including additional debt requirements.
c. Update the capital reinvestment strategy for the utility, identifying the annual funding target
for replacement of utility infrastructure.
d. Update the reserve analysis for compliance with existing policies, targets and industry best
practices for public/private partnerships.
e. Evaluate cash flow needs to meet existing and anticipated new annual debt service
requirements and debt coverage requirements.
f. Identify the total annual financial requirements from two perspectives: the ability to meet all
cash obligations, and the attainment of any debt coverage requirements.
g. Develop a forecast of total annual costs to provide service over a 3 to 6 -year planning
horizon. Total costs developed in this task will be allocated to customers in the following
Task 1 D.
h. Provide up to three (3) sensitivity analyses to evaluate the impact of changes to key variables
such as funding sources, project timing, new customers, increases in flow, or others identified
by the City.
TASK 1 D I COST ALLOCATION
The cost allocation task will be revised for the PWRF based on new future conditions. Customers and
their characteristics developed in the original 2018 PWRF rate study will be updated based on the most
recent monitoring data and used to develop cost allocation factors. The allocation factors used will be
based on system cost data and engineering/planning criteria in order to assign utility cost recovery to
customers in proportion to their facility requirements and capacity allocations.
TASK 1E I RATE DESIGN
The rate design task will develop rate structures in alignment with the City's goals and supported by
the cost allocations identified in task 1 D while generating sufficient revenue to meet the revenue
requirement forecast. Key task outcomes include the following:
a. Design rates to achieve total system cost recovery while promoting pricing goals and
objectives.
a. Provide alternative rate structures that look at flow -based rates, constituent -based rates
or a combination of the two.

b. Rate structure alternatives will determine the level of fixed and variable rates as well
as up -front costs to be recovered from existing and new facility users.
b. Bill comparisons will be generated comparing the impact of the rate structure update on typical
bills for each processor.
TASK 1F ! MEETINGS
It will be important to interact frequently with City staff throughout the project, to ensure that the
findings and recommendations reflect approaches that are understood by impacted parties and that
they can be implemented within the City's administrative practices. In addition, frequent interaction
will ensure that the study develops work products collaboratively, reflecting the industry expertise of
the Project Team and the specific needs and goals of the City. Review meetings can be conducted
remotely to save budget.
a. Meet with City staff in up to five (5) meetings to review study results at key milestones. We
anticipate the following review meetings;
W Two (2) remote meetings to review revenue requirement and cost allocations
Two (2) remote meetings to review proposed rate designs/structures
One(]) remote meeting to review final rate recommendations
TASK 1G I RATE STUDY DOCUMENTATION
FCS GROUP will document findings and provide a copy of the spreadsheet analysis for future City
use.
Technical Memorandum — At the conclusion of the project, we will provide a technical
memorandum summarizing the methodology, key factors, results and conclusions of the cost -
of -service rate study.
Spreadsheet Model — FCS GROUP will deliver a final copy of the Excel -based spreadsheet
model to the Finance Director for City use.

BUDGET
The total proposed level of effort to complete the PWRF cost of service update and contract guidance
is summarized below. Our normal billing practice is to bill based on time and materials actually
expended, not to exceed the total budget. We would be more than happy to negotiate the appropriate
level of effort for this project, if we have scaled our approach out of line with the needs and/or
expectations.
