Professional Services Agreement - Christopher Burke Engineering - Stormwater Utility Phase I

Home Browse Search

ATTACHMENT A: SCOPE OF SERVICES PHASE I It is our understanding that the City of South Bend wishes to establish an impervious cover based stormwater utility to provide long-term and sustainable funding for its stormwater program. It is also our understanding that the city wishes to break this effort into phases to accommodate available funding. As Phase I of this effort, CBBEL will evaluate the city's existing GIS data aerial imagery, digitize impervious cover of non-residential parcels, and prepare a rate structure database to be used in subsequent phases to establish the stormwater utility. Work under subsequent phases, will develop a stormwater program budget, recommend a fair and equitable stormwater fee and rate structure, summarize these findings in a rate study report, assist in building public support, assist with the utility adoption process, and support biffing staff in the conversion of the rate study database to the city's billing database. CBBEL will complete the following tasks as part of Phase I Task I — Impervious Surface Digitization: CBBEL will review the city's GIS data and most recent aerial imagery and will digitize the impervious cover of non-residential properties within the city limits. We will digitize a representative sample of residential properties within the city limits to establish an equivalent residential unit (ERU). The deliverable. for this task will be a GIS shapefile and associated attributes table of the non-residential impervious area. Task 2 — Prepare Rate Structure Database: CBBEL will create a rate structure database with the number and percentage of parcels, impervious cover, and number of ERUs for each property class. The rate structure database developed in Phase I is the foundation of the fee and rate structure for the stormwater utility determined in subsequent phases of the impervious cover based stormwater utility.
