Requesting proposals from qualified consulting firms to conduct a comprehensive citywide user fee study. The city last completed a comprehensive fee study in 2015. The purpose of this engagement is to update the city's fee structure to reflect the current reasonable cost of providing fee-supported services; identify fees that are obsolete, duplicative, unclear, unsupported, under-recovering, or no longer aligned with current service delivery; and establish a transparent, legally defensible, and sustainable framework for future fee updates. The city has already completed a separate cost allocation plan. Accordingly, preparation of a new citywide cost allocation plan is not included in this rfp. The selected consultant shall use the city-provided cost allocation plan and other approved overhead/indirect cost information as inputs to the fee study, validate their application to fee-supported activities, and identify any concerns that materially affect fee calculations without recreating the cost allocation plan.
