A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZING
THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE TASK ORDER NO.2 WITH
THE REED GROUP, INC., FOR WASTEWATER UTILITY FINANCIAL
PLANNING, RATE SETTING, AND CAPACITY CHARGE STUDY
AND FURTHER APPROPRIATING FUNDS
WHEREAS, this project will evaluate the wastewater utility rate structure in order to
convert residential rates from a "bedroom -count" basis to a usage -based rate that will be linked
to the future water usage -based utility that will replace the "bedroom -count" structure currently
used in the City; and
WHEREAS, The Reed Group, Inc., is currently in the process of completing work on the
development of the water usage -based water rate structure that will be implemented as part of
the water meter installation program; and
WHEREAS, another important element of this task order is to update the calculation of
the Capacity Charge for new connections to the wastewater collection and treatment system.
Now that the projects upgrading the wastewater trunk line and treatment plant are completed,
the actual costs can be factored into this updated Capacity Charge calculation. Part of this work
will include an update to the list of customer classes served by the wastewater utility; and
WHEREAS, the services of The Reed Group, Inc., have been selected on the basis of its
competitive pricing in comparison to a second proposal, timeliness in meeting deadlines on the
water rate project, and its experience in linking water and wastewater usage -based rate
structures for other communities; and
WHEREAS, the requested appropriation of $60,000 includes allowances for staff costs
and contingencies over and above the contract amount of $48,100.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Lodi City Council does hereby
authorize the City Manager to execute Task Order No. 2 for wastewater utility financial planning,
rate setting and capacity charge study with The Reed, Group, Inc, of Sacramento, California, in
the amount of $48,100; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that funds in the amount of $60,000 be appropriated from
Wastewater Capital funds.
