whether as on-site representatives or otherwise, do not make the ENGINEER or
its personnel in any way responsible for those duties that belong to the CITY
and/or the CITY's construction contractors or other entities, and do not relieve
the construction contractors or any other entity of their obligations, duties, and
responsibilities, including, but not limited to, all construction methods, means,
techniques, sequences, and procedures necessary for coordinating and
completing all portions of the construction work in accordance with the
AGREEMENT Documents and any health or safety precautions required by

or quality of the completed work on the PROJECT or to determine, in general, if
the work on the PROJECT is being performed in a manner indicating that the
PROJECT, when completed, will be in accordance with the AGREEMENT
Documents, nor shall anything in the AGREEMENT Documents or this
AGREEMENT between CITY and ENGINEER be construed as requiring
ENGINEER to make exhaustive or continuous on-site inspections to discover
latent defects in the work or otherwise check the quality or quantity of the work
on the PROJECT. If the ENGINEER makes on-site observation(s) of a
deviation from the AGREEMENT Documents, the ENGINEER shall inform the
CITY.
(3) When professional certification of performance or characteristics of materials,
systems or equipment is reasonably required to perform the services set forth in

or structures that may affect operation or maintenance costs; competitive
bidding procedures and market conditions; time or quality of performance by
third parties; quality, type, management, or direction of operating personnel; and
other economic and operational factors that may materially affect the ultimate
PROJECT cost or schedule. Therefore, the ENGINEER makes no warranty
that the CITY's actual PROJECT costs, financial aspects, economic feasibility,
or schedules will not vary from the ENGINEER's opinions, analyses, projections,
or estimates.
G. Construction Progress Payments
Recommendations by the ENGINEER to the CITY for periodic construction progress
payments to the construction contractor will be based on the ENGINEER's knowledge,
information, and belief from selective sampling and observation that the work has
progressed to the point indicated. Such recommendations do not represent that
continuous or detailed examinations have been made by the ENGINEER to ascertain that
the construction contractor has completed the work in exact accordance with the
AGREEMENT Documents; that the final work will be acceptable in all respects; that the

FINANCIAL IMPLEMENTATION PLANNING
Infrastructure Funding Workshop
1.At the outset of developing the Financial Plan, the ENGINEER team will work with the City to
schedule a work session in which different capital funding options can be explored and
discussed. It is anticipated that this session will be conducted in conjunction with, or with input
from, the City’s chosen Financial Advisor. As part of the session, the ENGINEER team will
seek to outline the City’s preferred funding philosophy, including, but not limited to, the City’s
desire to utilize debt and/or other funding options (e.g., state revolving funds, grants, etc.). The
goal of this workshop will be to determine the general principles that should be used to develop
a capital funding plan and to discuss with the City the potential funding options and sources
available so as to minimize the overall impact of capital plan implementation on customers.
Workshop to Coordinate with Streets Division
1.After defining the principles to be reflected in the Capital Funding Plan, the ENGINEER team
will coordinate and facilitate a meeting between the City’s Water Department and the City’s
Streets Division to identify the interdependencies that may exist between the Water and
Wastewater Master Plans and planned street related capital project. The timing and priority of
DocuSign Envelope ID: 14BC0DB9-98C1-4972-98BA-C34550FF5572
ATTACHMENT ADESIGN SERVICES FOR
ONE WATER MASTER PLAN
City of Denton, Texas
Attachment A
Page 8 of 29
projects will be compared and discussed, and adjustments made, as necessary, to the Water and
Wastewater Master Plans to ensure adequate alignment with the City’s planned street projects.
Further, to the extent that the City’s street projects rely on the City’s Water Department for
funding, such funding requirements will be built in as part of Task 8D outlined below.
Development of Capital Funding Plan
1.Based on the overarching principles outlined in Task 8.A, the ENGINEER team will prepare
alternative capital funding scenarios reflective of the opinions of probable cost and project
prioritization prepared earlier in the engagement. These financial scenarios, which will
incorporate the entire term of anticipated debt issuance (i.e., 30+ years), will reflect the planned
capital project prioritization as well as the anticipated sources of capital funding to be utilized.
In developing the funding plan, the ENGINEER team will also take into account other financial
requirements such as, but not limited to, existing debt schedules and requirements, as well as
potential bond debt service coverage and/or reserve requirements. Once determined, the results
of these scenarios will be considered on a systemwide, effective rate per service unit (i.e., per
1,000 gallons) basis or on a systemwide per meter equivalent. On completion, these scenarios
will be discussed with the City to determine the final, desired capital funding plan. The Project
Team anticipates completing a Capital Funding Plan inclusive of projects outlined in the Water
and Wastewater Master Plans.
Summary-level, System Wide Revenue Requirement Development
1.After determining the desired capital funding scenario, the ENGINEER team will develop a
summary-level, systemwide Revenue Requirement specific to encompassing both water and
wastewater utility service. As indicated above, Capital funding specific to wastewater will be
based on the City’s recently completed Wastewater Master Plan and will follow the principles
developed in Task 8A. To reflect the City’s budgetary processes, this revenue need
determination will be developed utilizing the cash-needs approach, unless otherwise requested.
This summary analysis will seek to take into account the cost of general management and
operations, including any resource changes (e.g., staffing, equipment, etc.) that will be required
associated with the implementation of the Master Plans. The analysis will be based on historical
costs, but also be reflective of the future anticipated cost changes associated with amendments
to the desired service level provided to customers. Please note that for the ENGINEER team to
identify water utility service-related expense, we will rely on guidance from City staff or the
City’s most recently complete cost of service study to properly allocate shared cost between the
water and wastewater service functions.
2.The Capital Funding Plan developed in Task 8.B, will be overlaid with the management and
operations costs, as well as other utility costs such as interfund transfers and other financial
policy requirements to produce a total cost of service. The summary revenue requirements will
then be compared with current revenue generation to evaluate the overall magnitude of revenue
increases at a systemwide level that may be needed going forward. On completion, the analysis
will be discussed with City staff to determine where amendments may be needed to facilitate
politically feasible and customer acceptable levels of revenue change.
Qualitative Rate Structure Evaluation and Recommendations
1.Once the revenue needs by utility function are determined, the ENGINEER team will perform a
qualitative evaluation of the City’s existing water rate structures. As part of this evaluation, the
ENGINEER team will meet with City staff to outline the Council’s desired utility pricing goals
and objectives. Such goals and objectives may include, but may not be limited to, encouraging
water conservation; protecting low and fixed-income customers; promoting equity between

customers, customer classes, and generations of customers; and/or maintaining the stability of
the City’s revenue stream.
2.Once the goals and objectives are defined, the ENGINEER team will evaluate the City’s
existing water rate structure for its ability to meet the desired aims. The ENGINEER team will
provide the City with a summary memorandum of our review and recommendations on
potential qualitative changes for consideration. This memorandum will discuss the pros and
cons of alternative rate designs and our assessment of a particular rate design’s ability to meet
the City’s pricing goals and objectives. As part of this effort, the ENGINEER team will also
provide the City with a regional comparison of water rate structures as well as sample customer
monthly water bills to facilitate the City’s evaluation of potential rate design changes in light of
the comparative market. Please note that actual quantification and calculation of changes in
rates are not contemplated under this task. Said changes are more appropriately conducted
within a complete cost of service and rate design study which is outside of the anticipated scope
of services defined here.
Summary Report and Council Presentation
1.At the completion of the financial planning process, the ENGINEER team will prepare a
summary report detailing the desired funding plan, the pro forma cost of service, and qualitative
recommendations for amendments to the City’s existing rate design structure. The report will
then be reviewed in a meeting with City staff to review the draft and discuss comments and
requested changes. Following this meeting, the report will be finalized reflecting City staff
comments and will then be presented to the City Council to obtain buy-in and to assist in
charting a course towards future implementation.

Consequences of changing your mind
If you elect to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format, it will slow the
