PROPOSED SCOPE OF PROFESSIONAL SERVICES FOR A
WATER AND WASTEWATER IMPACT FEE UPDATE
FOR THE
CITY OF ROUND ROCK, TEXAS
1.0 PROPOSED SCOPE OF SERVICES
Task 1 — Update Planning Data and Debt Payments in Rates
HDR will work with City staff to help define the area in which the municipal water and
wastewater impact fees may be charged, the components of existing and projected 10 -yr land
uses within that area, and anticipated growth associated with water and wastewater service in
compliance with Chapter 395 of the Texas Local Government Code. We will also work with City
staff to identify outstanding debt and related funded facilities that are being repaid with utility
rate revenues.
Task 2 — Coordinate Existing Capacity and CIP Data Needs and Demand Allocations
Chapter 395 also requires that the impact fees be based on available existing capacity and a
10 -Year Capital Improvements Program. The statute limits spending of impact fee proceeds to
items identified in the CIP.
Each of the existing capacity or new water and wastewater capital project items needs to be
identified or quantified in terms of:
✓ type of facility
• water supply, • wastewater treatment (possible
• treatment, pass -thru to LCRA)
• pumping and transmission, • pumping and interceptors,
• distribution, • collection,
• reclaimed water (if any)
✓ construction cost (design, permit, and construction),
✓ available capacity (existing facilities) and rated capacity (new facilities), and
✓ facility cost per living unit equivalent.
For purposes of scope budgeting, it is assumed that the capital needs identified in the pending
Water and Wastewater Master Plans and existing available data for needed wastewater
improvements will serve as the basis for new capital improvements to be included in the impacts
fees. HDR efforts on this task will be focused on: coordinating the definition of existing available
capacity with City staff: coordinating the type and format of data needed from the Water and
Wastewater Master Plans; and working with the consultants for the Master Plans and City to
allocate the 10 -year utility demand back to various existing or new facilities.
Task 3 - Impact Fee Calculation and Application
HDR would use the land use and capital improvements program information previously
developed, as well as other City and professional trade information, to calculate an updated fee
amount. The fee calculation will consider capital payments through the rates or the 50%
deduction allowed in Chapter 395. The calculations and fee design will also be divided into
component parts of the water and wastewater utilities to allow for credits or offsets against a full
fee amount should the entity paying the fee provide for an acceptable portion of eligible capital
at their own expense.
The full cost of capital for these utility components will be calculated and then be pro -rated to a
lesser amount should the Committee and /or Council decide to recommended a fee less than the
maximum allowable. Data will also be provided to scale the base fee per standard service unit
to allow for appropriate fee levies for larger service requirements.
HDR will also investigate any current issues with the fee amounts or its application so that this
can be incorporated into the fee design or the ordinance applicability. HDR will provide
technical and production support for the preparation of an Advisory Committee report.
Task 4 - Revise Ordinance
Based on Committee, Council, and public input, HDR will review the current fee ordinance to
ascertain any needed changes in wording. These draft changes will be coordinated with the
City Attorney and other interested parties.
Task 5 — Coordination with Committee, Council, and Public
HDR will develop support materials and coordinate with various interested stakeholders in the
fee update process to assure that provisions of Chapter 395 of the Local Government Code are
met and that all key parties are adequately informed.
The proposed formal coordination effort includes the following activities:
City Staff — Four Meetings. The first meeting with the City staff would be a work session to
discuss legal and policy issues surrounding the fee development and application. The
second meeting would consider any needed changes to the service area, land use, utility
growth assumptions, and existing debt repaid with utility rates. The third meeting would
address capital improvements needs and allocation of utility demands. The fourth meeting
would be to review the draft results of the fee update and suggested ordinance revisions
(City Attorney attending).
Impact Fee Advisory Committee — Three Meetings. The first meeting to brief the
Committee on impacts fees and the Chapter 395 process. A second meeting with the
Committee would be to coordinate the draft impact fee calculation and seek Committee
concurrence with any revised fee proposal that would be presented at the public hearing.
The third meeting with the Committee would be to review the Committee feedback, make
any revisions to the fee calculations, review the draft Committee report, and seek Committee
adoption for filing with Council.
City Council — Two Meetings. The first meeting with the Council would be to present
information from the Committee and seek Council initial adoption of the land use, CIP and
fee data and to set the Public hearing date. The second meeting would be to present and
discuss information on the proposed fees at the Public Hearing and possible Council action
upon closing of the Public Hearing.
Public Hearings — One Meeting. HDR would prepare the necessary information required
under Chapter 395 for the public notice for a public hearing on the land use assumptions,
the CIP, and the fee update. This information will be provided to the City for placement, and
it is understood that the City will provide for the cost of publication and any certified mailings
that may be required. HDR would also prepare an Advisory Committee report to Council
that will be made available to the public and also provide either a lead or support role to the
Committee chairman and staff in making the presentation at the public hearing and Council
consideration for adoption.
■ Task 6 — Reporting
HDR would prepare 10 draft and 10 final copies of the Technical Advisory Committee report to
the City Council outlining the Committee's recommendations on impact fee service area, land
use assumptions, 10 -year capital improvements plan, fee design and calculation, offset credits,
and any policy or fee issues that may affect the pending ordinance provisions.
HDR would also work with the City Attorney to prepare a draft ordinance for City consideration.

ITEM: 9.G.2. Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute an Agreement
for Engineering Services with HDR Engineering, Inc. for services to
update the City's water and wastewater impact fees.
Resource: Tom Clark, Director of Utilities
History: Impact fees are charged against new development in order to recover the cost of
capital improvements or facility expansions necessitated by the development. The
existing water and wastewater impact fees went into effect July 11, 2002. Current
impact fees for water and wastewater are $3,969 per living unit equivalent.
Because of changing economics and the cost to meet future needs, these fees must
be updated on a regular basis to reflect current costs of the City's utility for
infrastructure to meet current and future demands. The Study will review current
capacities and proposed capital improvements and Staff is recommending that
HDR Engineering Inc. perform the work.

Capital Recovery Fees
HDR Engineering
Impact: Need to stay compliant with Chapter 395 of the Texas Local Government Code
and to address concerns voiced by area builders. The impact fee will likely be
paid by the builder or homeowner, and changes in the impact fee may affect the
price of housing. Any competitive impact on City economic development is
mitigated by the fact that most surrounding cities also have utility impact fees.
Benefit: Provides a legal means of helping make growth pay for itself through an up -front
investment (fee payment) by the new customer in the system's current or near -
term infrastructure. This acts to offset the amount of new capital that is debt
financed and supported by rate revenue paid by both existing and new customers
and will recover a portion of the cost of constructing capital improvements
necessary to serve new development.
Public Comment: Staff is coordinating this effort with comment from the Texas Capitol area

PROPOSED SCOPE OF PROFESSIONAL SERVICES FOR A
WATER AND WASTEWATER IMPACT FEE UPDATE

CITY OF ROUND ROCK, TEXAS

Prepared by

HDR Engineering, Inc.

Austin, Texas 78746
February 2003
PROPOSED SCOPE OF PROFESSIONAL SERVICES FOR A
WATER AND WASTEWATER IMPACT FEE UPDATE
FOR THE
CITY OF ROUND ROCK, TEXAS
1.0 PROPOSED SCOPE OF SERVICES
Task 1 — Update Planning Data and Debt Payments in Rates
HDR will work with City staff to help define the area in which the municipal water and
wastewater impact fees may be charged, the components of existing and projected 10 -yr land
uses within that area, and anticipated growth associated with water and wastewater service in
compliance with Chapter 395 of the Texas Local Government Code. We will also work with City
staff to identify outstanding debt and related funded facilities that are being repaid with utility
rate revenues.
Task 2 — Coordinate Existing Capacity and CIP Data Needs and Demand Allocations
Chapter 395 also requires that the impact fees be based on available existing capacity and a
10 -Year Capital Improvements Program. The statute limits spending of impact fee proceeds to
items identified in the CIP.
Each of the existing capacity or new water and wastewater capital project items needs to be
identified or quantified in terms of:
✓ type of facility
• water supply, • wastewater treatment (possible
• treatment, pass -thru to LCRA)
• pumping and transmission, • pumping and interceptors,
• distribution, • collection,
• reclaimed water (if any)
✓ construction cost (design, permit, and construction),
✓ available capacity (existing facilities) and rated capacity (new facilities), and
✓ facility cost per living unit equivalent.
For purposes of scope budgeting, it is assumed that the capital needs identified in the pending
Water and Wastewater Master Plans and existing available data for needed wastewater
improvements will serve as the basis for new capital improvements to be included in the impacts
fees. HDR efforts on this task will be focused on: coordinating the definition of existing available
capacity with City staff: coordinating the type and format of data needed from the Water and
Wastewater Master Plans; and working with the consultants for the Master Plans and City to
allocate the 10 -year utility demand back to various existing or new facilities.
Task 3 - Impact Fee Calculation and Application
HDR would use the land use and capital improvements program information previously
developed, as well as other City and professional trade information, to calculate an updated fee
amount. The fee calculation will consider capital payments through the rates or the 50%
deduction allowed in Chapter 395. The calculations and fee design will also be divided into
component parts of the water and wastewater utilities to allow for credits or offsets against a full
fee amount should the entity paying the fee provide for an acceptable portion of eligible capital
at their own expense.
The full cost of capital for these utility components will be calculated and then be pro -rated to a
lesser amount should the Committee and /or Council decide to recommended a fee less than the
maximum allowable. Data will also be provided to scale the base fee per standard service unit
to allow for appropriate fee levies for larger service requirements.
HDR will also investigate any current issues with the fee amounts or its application so that this
can be incorporated into the fee design or the ordinance applicability. HDR will provide
technical and production support for the preparation of an Advisory Committee report.
Task 4 - Revise Ordinance
Based on Committee, Council, and public input, HDR will review the current fee ordinance to
ascertain any needed changes in wording. These draft changes will be coordinated with the
City Attorney and other interested parties.
Task 5 — Coordination with Committee, Council, and Public
HDR will develop support materials and coordinate with various interested stakeholders in the
fee update process to assure that provisions of Chapter 395 of the Local Government Code are
met and that all key parties are adequately informed.
The proposed formal coordination effort includes the following activities:
City Staff — Four Meetings. The first meeting with the City staff would be a work session to
discuss legal and policy issues surrounding the fee development and application. The
second meeting would consider any needed changes to the service area, land use, utility
growth assumptions, and existing debt repaid with utility rates. The third meeting would
address capital improvements needs and allocation of utility demands. The fourth meeting
would be to review the draft results of the fee update and suggested ordinance revisions
(City Attorney attending).
Impact Fee Advisory Committee — Three Meetings. The first meeting to brief the
Committee on impacts fees and the Chapter 395 process. A second meeting with the
Committee would be to coordinate the draft impact fee calculation and seek Committee
concurrence with any revised fee proposal that would be presented at the public hearing.
The third meeting with the Committee would be to review the Committee feedback, make
any revisions to the fee calculations, review the draft Committee report, and seek Committee
adoption for filing with Council.
City Council — Two Meetings. The first meeting with the Council would be to present
information from the Committee and seek Council initial adoption of the land use, CIP and
fee data and to set the Public hearing date. The second meeting would be to present and
discuss information on the proposed fees at the Public Hearing and possible Council action
upon closing of the Public Hearing.
Public Hearings — One Meeting. HDR would prepare the necessary information required
under Chapter 395 for the public notice for a public hearing on the land use assumptions,
the CIP, and the fee update. This information will be provided to the City for placement, and
it is understood that the City will provide for the cost of publication and any certified mailings
that may be required. HDR would also prepare an Advisory Committee report to Council
that will be made available to the public and also provide either a lead or support role to the
Committee chairman and staff in making the presentation at the public hearing and Council
consideration for adoption.
Task 6 — Reporting
HDR would prepare 10 draft and 10 final copies of the Technical Advisory Committee report to
the City Council outlining the Committee's recommendations on impact fee service area, land
use assumptions, 10 -year capital improvements plan, fee design and calculation, offset credits,
and any policy or fee issues that may affect the pending ordinance provisions.
HDR would also work with the City Attorney to prepare a draft ordinance for City consideration.
