Hilton Farnkopf & Hobson 1 Page 1 of 5 City of Csrlsbad 0 0 Solid Waste Consulting Support The Review and Update of the Contract Phase is composed of two tasks: Task 2.1(1): Review and-Evaluate Current Contract The objective of this task is to update the contract between the City and CWM to remove outdated and superfluous language and ensure the contract reflects both the current requirements for such agreements and the current and antiapated arrangements between tl City and CWM. As part of this task, we will review the contract between the City and CWM using our Cont Quality Matrix which we developed specifically for this purpose and has been successfully with numerous jurisdictions. Both outdated portions of the contract and recommendations improving the contract will be identified and documented. We have assumed that these recommendations will be implemented by the City Attorney; however, we will be available time and materials basis to assist the City in this activity. Task 2.2 (VIII): Analyze and Develop Terms for Multi-Year Contract The objective of this task is to evaluate the benefits and risks of establishing a multi-year contract and draft the related contract terms, if a multi-year contract is deemed appropriate The advantages, disadvantages and impacts of a multi-year contract will be explored with ( staff. We will identify and document how certain contract provisions could be amended ov time (e.g., rate adjustments). We have assumed that the actual contract modifications would be made by the City Attorn however, we will be available on a time and materials basis to assist the City. The'Analyses of Cost of Services Phase is composed of three tasks: Task 3.1(1V): Analyze Multi-Family Solid Waste Costs and Rates The objective of this task is to determine if a new category of rates for multi-family dwellin: should be established. We will collect from CWM operations and cost information to isolate the costs of providing multi-family collection from the costs of providing commercial collection. The revenues received from multi-family accounts will then be compared to the actual cost of providing i service. Rates for multi-family collection will then be established and compared to current The costs of administering a separate rate structure will then be determined and we will m recommendations as to whether the City should implement a separate rate structure and w Hilton Farnkopf & Hobson I Page 2 of 5 0 0 City of Carlsbad Solid Waste Consulting Support ~~ ~ ~~~~ ~ the rates should be. Task 3.2 (V): Classify Residential Solid Waste Service Costs The objective of this task is to estimate the costs for each of the residential solid waste collect services. We will collect from CWM operations and cost information related to residential solid waste services to determine the cost of providing each service (solid waste collection, recycling, yal waste collection, bulky waste pick up, etc.). Task 3.3 (V.a.1: Evaluate Yard Waste Program Costs The objective of evaluating the costs of the yard waste program is to identify areas in which efficiency of the yard waste collection program can be improved. We will compare the costs of the City's program to those of similar programs contained in 01 files. We will identify opportunities, if any, for improving the cost-effectiveness of the yard waste collection operations. The Rate Analyses Phase consists of two tasks: Task 4.1 (VII): Review Non-Collectible Accounts The objective of this task is to modify the Refuse Rate Index System to cover losses due to nc collectible accounts, if appropriate. We will gather information from CWM regarding non-collectible accounts and determine th annual percentage of bad debt. CWM's annual percentage of bad debt will then be compare other haulers' annual percentage of bad debt to detennine the reasonableness of CWM's fig We will recommend a method to incorporate bad debt into the rate Calculation, if directed tc so by the City. Task 4.2 (11): Review Operating Ratio and Rate Structure The objective of this task is to recommend an operating ratio and rate structure for FY 19944 which meets the City's goals and objectives. We will provide the City and CWM with industry data and information on the method of calculation of the operating ratio and amount of profit other jurisdictions that regulate rates allow their haulers. ~ ~~ ~ ~~~ Hilton Farnkopf & Hobson I I Page 3 of 5 * '0 a City of Carlsbad Solid Waste Consulting Support Based on customer data supplied by CWM, we will design a uniform or increasing rate structure, based on direction from the City regarding its objectives, designed to meet CWM's revenue requirement. Based on this input, we will develop a rate structure to meet the City's goals. The Communication Phase is composed of three tasks: Task 5.1: Prepare Draft Report The objective of this task is to document our findings from the analyses performed in the preceding phases in order that these may be commented upon by City and CWM managemc We will prepare a draft report of our findings and distribute it to City and CWM manageme: for review.

LIMITATIONS As with any project approach, certain limitations exist. Rather than wait until the project is underway, we believe it is most appropriate to identify them during the proposal stage of t project. Our analysis of current and historical results of operations relies upon representations of C We will inform you of any issues that come to our attention during our review of the ComF financial transactions; however, we have not proposed to conduct our own detailed testing the Company's financial transactions. The financial results of the Company's future operations depend upon certain assumptiom regarding future events and management's response to those events. Because there are us1 differences between the anticipated and actual events and responses, actual results typicall differ from the projected results and these differences can be material. Also, we are not responsible for the management of the Company and such management may change its pl, Therefore, we can neither accept responsibility for the realization of the projected results n we accept responsibility to update the projections subsequent to the date of their preparati Finally, the projections are intended for use by the City of Carlsbad (which is in a position understand the purpose of their preparation and the limitations of their use) only and thei by any other person or for any other purpose is not intended. Unless otherwise indicated, all meetings described in our approach are limited to one mee four consecutive hours to be arranged for a mutually agreeable time. Flather, we will soli input from the Company at key points during the project; however, one a task is complet will not perform any detailed testing of subsequent documents or new information submi the Company regarding the subject performed during the task. Finally, we will prepare o draft report which we will amend (if, in our sole discretion, we believe such amendment i appropriate) once to reflect comments from City and CWM management. Finally, as noted in Phase I of the Scope of Service, we will identrfy areas for improvemen modifications to the current agreement. While we have not proposed to draft specific lan for the current agreement (we have assumed the City Attorney will do so) we will be avaj to draft amendments to the current agreement on a time-and-material basis.
