7. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. Both parties hereto in the
performance of this Agreement will be acting in an independent capacity and not as
agents, employees, partners or joint venturers with one another. Neither the
CONTRACTOR nor the CONTRACTOR'S employees are employee of the CITY and
are not entitled to any of the rights, benefits, or privileges of the CITY's employees,
including but not limited to retirement, medical, unemployment, or workers'
compensation insurance.
This Agreement contemplates the personal services of the
CONTRACTOR and the CONTRACTOR's employees, and it is recognized by the
parties that a substantial inducement to the CITY for entering into this Agreement was,
and is, the professional reputation and competence of the CONTRACTOR and its
employees. Neither this Agreement nor any interest herein may be assigned by the
CONTRACTOR without the prior written consent of the CITY. Nothing herein contained
is intended to prevent the CONTRACTOR from employing or hiring as many
employees, or subcontractors, as the CONTRACTOR may deem necessary for the
proper and efficient performance of this Agreement. All agreements by CONTRACTOR
with its subcontractor(s) shall require the subcontractor to adhere to the applicable
terms of this Agreement.
8. CONTROL. Neither the CITY nor its officers, agents or employees
shall have any control over the conduct of the CONTRACTOR or any of the
CONTRACTOR's employees except as herein set forth, and the CONTRACTOR
expressly agrees not to represent that the CONTRACTOR or the CONTRACTOR's
agents, servants, or employees are in any manner agents, servants or employees of
the CITY, it being understood that the CONTRACTOR, its agents, servants, and
employees are as to the CITY wholly independent contractors and that the CONTRAC-
TOR's obligations to the CITY are solely such as are prescribed by this Agreement.
9. COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAW. The CONTRACTOR, in
the performance of the services to be provided herein, shall comply with all applicable
State and Federal statutes and regulations, and all applicable ordinances, rules and
regulations of the City of National City, whether now in force or subsequently enacted.

10. LICENSES, PERMITS, ETC. The CONTRACTOR represents and
covenants that it has all licenses, permits, qualifications, and approvals of whatever
nature that are legally required to practice its profession. The CONTRACTOR
3 Revised August 2003
represents and covenants that the CONTRACTOR shall, at its sole cost and expense,
keep in effect at all times during the term of this Agreement, any license, permit, or
approval which is legally required for the CONTRACTOR to practice its profession.
11. STANDARD OF CARE.
A. The CONTRACTOR, in performing any services under this
Agreement, shall perform in a manner consistent with that level of care and skill
ordinarily exercised by members of the CONTRACTOR'S trade or profession currently
practicing under similar conditions and in similar locations. The CONTRACTOR shall
take all special precautions necessary to protect the CONTRACTOR's employees and
members of the public from risk of harm arising out of the nature of the work and/or the
conditions of the work site.
B. Unless disclosed in writing prior to the date of this
agreement, the CONTRACTOR warrants to the CITY that it is not now, nor has it for the
five (5) years preceding, been debarred by a governmental agency or involved in
debarment, arbitration or litigation proceedings concerning the CONTRACTOR's
professional performance or the furnishing of materials or services relating thereto.
C. The CONTRACTOR is responsible for identifying any unique
products, treatments, processes or materials whose availability is critical to the success
of the project the CONTRACTOR has been retained to perform, within the time
requirements of the CITY, or, when no time is specified, then within a commercially
reasonable time. Accordingly, unless the CONTRACTOR has notified the CITY
otherwise, the CONTRACTOR warrants that all products, materials, processes or
treatments identified in the project documents prepared for the CITY are reasonably
commercially available. Any failure by the CONTRACTOR to use due diligence under
this sub -paragraph will render the CONTRACTOR liable to the CITY for any increased
costs that result from the CITY's later inability to obtain the specified items or any
reasonable substitute within a price range that allows for project completion in the time
frame specified or, when not specified, then within a commercially reasonable time.
12. NON-DISCRIMINATION PROVISIONS. The CONTRACTOR shall
not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of age,
race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, national origin,
physical handicap, or medical condition. The CONTRACTOR will take positive action to
insure that applicants are employed without regard to their age, race, color, ancestry,
religion, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, national origin, physical handicap, or
medical condition. Such action shall include but not be limited to the following:
employment, upgrading, demotion, transfer, recruitment or recruitment advertising,
layoff or termination, rates of pay or other forms of compensation, and selection for
training, including apprenticeship. The CONTRACTOR agrees to post in conspicuous
places available to employees and applicants for employment any notices provided by
the CITY setting forth the provisions of this non-discrimination clause.
13. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. The CITY may from time to time
communicate to the CONTRACTOR certain confidential information to enable the
CONTRACTOR to effectively perform the services to be provided herein. The
CONTRACTOR shall treat all such information as confidential and shall not disclose
4 Revised August 2003
any part thereof without the prior written consent of the CITY. The CONTRACTOR
shall limit the use and circulation of such information, even within its own organization,
to the extent necessary to perform the services to be provided herein. The foregoing
obligation of this Section 13, however, shall not apply to any part of the information that
(i) has been disclosed in publicly available sources of information; (ii) is, through no
fault of the CONTRACTOR, hereafter disclosed in publicly available sources of
information; (iii) is already in the possession of the CONTRACTOR without any
obligation of confidentiality; or (iv) has been or is hereafter rightfully disclosed to the
CONTRACTOR by a third party, but only to the extent that the use or disclosure thereof
has been or is rightfully authorized by that third party.
The CONTRACTOR shall not disclose any reports, recommendations,
conclusions or other results of the services or the existence of the subject matter of this
Agreement without the prior written consent of the CITY. In its performance hereunder,
the CONTRACTOR shall comply with all legal obligations it may now or hereafter have
respecting the information or other property of any other person, firm or corporation.
CONTRACTOR shall be liable to CITY for any damages caused by
breach of this condition, pursuant to the provisions of Section 14.
14. INDEMNIFICATION AND HOLD HARMLESS. The CONTRACTOR
shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the City of National City, its officers and
employees, against and from any damages and liability directly caused by the negligent

or part, from the negligence or willful misconduct of the CITY or any third party.

with all of the provisions of the Workers' Compensation Insurance and Safety Acts of
the State of California, the applicable provisions of Division 4 and 5 of the California
Government Code and all amendments thereto; and all similar state or Federal acts or
laws applicable; and shall indemnify, and hold harmless the CITY and its officers, and
employees from and against all claims, demands, payments, suits, actions,
proceedings and judgments of every nature and description, including reasonable
attorney's fees and defense costs presented, brought or recovered against the CITY or
its officers, employees, or volunteers, for or on account of any liability under any of said
acts which may be incurred by reason of any work to be performed by the
CONTRACTOR under this Agreement.
16. INSURANCE. The CONTRACTOR, at its sole cost and expense,
shall purchase and maintain, and shall require its subcontractors, when applicable, to

policies:

F. Said policies, except for the professional liability and worker's
compensation policies, shall name the CITY and its officers, agents and employees as
additional insureds.

rather than "occurrence" form, the CONTRACTOR shall maintain such insurance
coverage for three years after expiration of the term (and any extensions) of this Agree-
ment.
H. Any aggregate insurance limits must apply solely to this Agree -
Insurance shall be written with only California admitted companies
which hold a current policy holder's alphabetic and financial size category rating of no
less than A:-VII according to the current Best's Key Rating Guide, or a company equal
financial stability that is approved by the City's Risk Manager.
J. This Agreement shall not take effect until certificate(s) or other
sufficient proof that these insurance provisions have been complied with, are filed with
and approved by the CITY's Risk Manager. If the CONTRACTOR does not keep all of
such insurance policies in full force and effect at all times during the terms of this
Agreement, the CITY may elect to treat the failure to maintain the requisite insurance
as a breach of this Agreement and terminate the Agreement as provided herein.
17. LEGAL FEES. If any party brings a suit or action against the other
party arising from any breach of any of the covenants or agreements or any
inaccuracies in any of the representations and warranties on the part of the other party
arising out of this Agreement, then in that event, the prevailing party in such action or
dispute, whether by final judgment or out -of -court settlement, shall be entitled to have
and recover of and from the other party all costs and expenses of suit, including
attorneys' fees.
For purposes of determining who is to be considered the prevailing party,
it is stipulated that attorney's fees incurred in the prosecution or defense of the action or
suit shall not be considered in determining the amount of the judgment or award.
Attorney's fees to the prevailing party if other than the CITY shall, in addition, be limited
to the amount of attorney's fees incurred by the CITY in its prosecution or defense of
the action, irrespective of the actual amount of attorney's fees incurred by the prevailing
party.

• Years in business: 27
• Number of employees: 4,500 (Approximate)
• Revenues for previous fiscal year: $500 Million (Approximate)
The Cost Services Division of MAXIMUS was formerly known as David M. Grif-
fith & Associates (DMG) and as DMG-MAXIMUS. Following the acquisition of
David M. Griffith & Associates by MAXIMUS in 1998, the company operated as
DMG-MAXIMUS, a wholly owned subsidiary of MAXIMUS, until October 2001.
At that time, DMG-MAXIMUS was merged into the parent company and now op-
erates as the Cost Services Division. Qualifications and experience attributed to
MAXIMUS in this proposal include work done by our predecessor companies.
The Cost Services Division employees approximately 300 professional consultants
in more than 30 offices across the U.S. This engagement would be staffed and
managed entirely from our Sacramento regional office.
PROJECT TEAM
The following MAXIMUS staff would be assigned to this project if MAXIMUS is
selected to do the work.
Project Director — Richard L. Pearl._ Mr. Pearl. is _a -regional_ Vice President in the
Sacramento office of MAXIMUS and has been responsible for management of the
company's California cost of service practices, including the impact fee practice, for
a number of years. He has almost twenty-five years of experience in local govern-
ment consulting, during which time he has managed hundreds of engagements for
California clients including Long Beach, Anaheim, Santa Barbara, Santa Monica,
Livermore, Fontana, Santa Clara and Beverly Hills. As project director, Mr. Pearl
will be responsible for assigning staff resources, monitoring the contract, and ensur-
ing client satisfaction.
Project Manager - Joseph Colgan, AICP. Joe Colgan is a Director in the Sacra-
mento Office of MAXIMUS, and is primarily responsible for the firm's impact fee
practice. He is a professional planner and licensed architect whose background in-
cludes more than ten years as a senior planner and planning director for city and
MAXIMUS Page 1

county governments. Since joining MAXIMUS (then David M. Griffith & Associ-
ates) in 1990, Mr. Colgan has managed at least 50 impact fee projects in five states,
including more than 40 in California. As project manager, he will interact directly
with the client on a regular basis and will have day-to-day responsibility for project
organization and scheduling. In addition, he will personally take the lead role in
technical analysis, report writing, and presentations associated with this study. His
resume is attached to this proposal.
Other Staff. MAXIMUS has more than 30 consultants in its Sacramento and Irvine
offices. Although we anticipate that most work on this study will be completed by
the specific personnel listed above, additional professional and/or support staff may
be assigned for the benefit of the project, with the City's approval.
IMPACT FEE EXPERIENCE
MAXIMUS has been providing development impact fee services to local govern-
ment clients since AB 1600 took effect in 1989. Over that period, the firm has
completed more than 50 impact fee engagements in several states. Although most
of our impact fee work has been in California, we have also performed impact fee
studies in Utah, Arizona, Oregon, Florida, and Georgia.
MAXIMUS impact fee consultants have experience and professional expertise in
many areas related to the development of impact fee programs. Below are listed
some of their key qualifications.
• Thorough understanding of constitutional and statutorystandards for
defensible impact fees and other exactions.
• Extensive expertise in impact fee methodology. Knowledge of a va-
riety of cost allocation and fee calculation methods, and the ability to
apply innovative methods to complex situations.
• Experience establishing impact fees for all types of public improve-
ments, including water, sewer, transportation, and drainage systems,
parks and recreation facilities, open space, libraries, fire, police, and
administrative facilities.
• Experience in economic, demographic and statistical analysis, and in
the use of planning documents, facility master plans, engineering
studies, and capital facility plans to support defensible impact fees.
• Professional background in land use planning, architecture, and capi-
tal facilities programming, planning, design and construction.

• Experience in cash flow modeling and the use of discounted present
value calculations to incorporate future debt service payments into
impact fee analysis.
• Experience developing a sophisticated Excel -based impact fee model

using any one of several fee calculation methods.
• Direct experience in local government, sensitivity to local political
environments, and skill in techniques for productively involving
interest groups and the public in developing impact fee programs.

RECENT IMPACT FEE STUDIES
Below are descriptions of several recent development impact fee projects completed
by MAXIMUS. All projects described in this proposal were managed by Joseph
Colgan, AICP, who will be assigned to this study if MAXIMUS is selected for this
project.
City of Orange — Library Impact Fee Study. This study, completed in May 2003,
involved calculation of library impact fees for the City, based on a recently adopted
Library Master Plan. Orange had not previously imposed impact fees for libraries.
Orange was successful in obtaining library grant funds authorized by Proposition
14, and this impact fee study leveraged the planned grant funded facility to increase
the existing level of service used to calculate the fees. The MAXIMUS project
manager presented the report to building industry representatives prior to City
Council consideration. Fees recommended in the study were adopted unanimously
by the City Council.
City of Temecula - Impact Fee Study. MAXIMUS was selected in October 2002 to
update its 1996 impact fee study for the City of Temecula. This study addressed all
types of facilities provided by the City (water and wastewater service are provided
MAXIMUS Page 3

by special districts). A critical aspect of this study was a tight four -month schedule
established by the City Manager to complete a draft of the report. The draft was
completed in 3 Y2 months, thanks in large part to the efforts of the City staff in
providing information needed by the consultants. The MAXIMUS project manager
presented the report to building industry representatives prior to City Council con-
sideration. The proposed fees were adopted unanimously by the City Council.
City of Morgan Hill — Impact Fee Study (2002). This study, completed in Septem-
ber, 2002, is a comprehensive impact fee study addressing all types of capital facili-
ties and infrastructure, except water and wastewater facilities, needed to serve fu-
ture development within Morgan Hill's Urban Growth Boundary. The impact fee
analysis incorporated the availability of non -impact fee funding sources including
Redevelopment Agency funds, regional transportation funds, General Fund contri-
butions, and a potential library grant. Fees calculated in the study included two
new fees —one for open space and one for community and recreation facilities —in
addition to updating all of the fees previously in place. Once a draft of the report
was completed, the MAXIMUS project manager participated in workshops with
developers and presentations to the Morgan Hill City Council. The Council
adopted fees based on the MAXIMUS report in August, 2002.
City of Palo Alto — Development Impact Fee Study (2001). This study calculated
citywide impact fees for parks and open space, community centers and libraries. It
also involved a feasibility study for adoption of an impact fee for police facilities. In
this study, MAXIMUS worked with the client to evaluate the impact of non-
residential development on the facilities under study. The City conducted user sur-
veys in Palo Alto's parks, community centers, and libraries to establish the impact
of non-residential development on the need for those facilities. Impact fees were
calculated using the results of those surveys and the report was presented to a City
Council Committee in October, 2001.
City of Richmond — Development Impact Fee Study (2001). This study calcu-
lated new citywide impact fees for police, fire, parks, open space, and community
centers. The study also analyzed the potential for new street impact fees, but rec-
ommended that the City's pre-existing street impact fees, which applied to specific
development areas, be retained. Those fees had accounted for all significant costs
of development -related street improvements in Richmond, and the costs were allo-
cated to all anticipated development in the service area. Because future develop-
ment in Richmond will consist mostly of infill, it was very difficult to project future
development for purposes of the impact fee study. To address that limitation,
MAXIMUS was able to use open-ended fee calculation methods that do not rely on
projections of future development. The study process included two presentations
to a City Council committee. The final draft report was presented to the full City
Council in October, 2001.
MAXIMUS Page 4
City of National City, CA — Proposal for a Development Impact Fee Study
City of Visalia — Public Safety Impact Fee Study (2001). This study calculated im-
pact fees for police and fire protection facilities and equipment in Visalia. Police
impact fees were based on the cost of a proposed new building, with costs allocated
between existing and future development on the basis of calls for service. Fire
impact fees were based on a combined cost of existing and planned facilities and
equipment needs, with existing facilities valued at depreciated replacement cost.
Costs for fire protection facilities were allocated on the basis of developed acreage.
At the City Council public hearing, one Council member said the impact fee report
was the most easily understandable consultant study she had ever seen. The final
report was presented to the City Council in June, 2001.
ADDITIONAL PROJECT DSCRIP77ONS
Below are brief descriptions of a number of additional MAXIMUS impact fee pro-
jects completed over the last several years.
City of Encinitas, California. MAXIMUS completed an impact fee study for the
City of Encinitas addressing street improvements as well as parks, open space, and
trails. The study included calculation of Quimby Act fees in lieu of park land dedi-
cation and also included separate fees for park land acquisition for projects not in-
volving a subdivision of land. MAXIMUS made presentations to developer groups
and Chamber of Commerce representatives as well as to the City Council. TheSan
Diego County Homebuilders' Association has cited this study as an example of a
well -prepared impact fee analysis. The study was completed in March, 2000.
City of Arroyo Grande, California. In early 2000, MAXIMUS completed an im-
pact fee study for the City of Arroyo Grande addressing street improvements, fire
protection, police facilities, and parks and recreation facilities. The analysis also
included drainage facilities, but found that there were no such facilities eligible for
impact fee funding. MAXIMUS continues to advise the City in matters of impact
fee implementation.
City of Moreno Valley, California. MAXIMUS prepared an impact fee study for
the City of Moreno Valley addressing a wide range of facility types, including, arte-
rial streets and traffic signals, police and fire facilities, parks and recreation, librar-
ies, and administrative facilities. Impact fees were calculated using a spreadsheet -
based impact fee model originally developed for Glendale, Arizona. One of the is-
sues addressed in this study was the effect of proposed impact fee changes on out-
standing debt related to existing transportation facilities. The final draft report was
presented to the City Council in February, 2000. Following completion of this
study, MAXIMUS was also contracted to prepare an impact fee study for five inter-
changes planned for State Route 60 in Moreno Valley. That study used a select
MAXIMUS Page 5
City of National City, CA — Proposal for a Development Impact Fee Study
link analysis prepared by the City's traffic engineering consultant to calculate im-
pact fees for various configurations of multiple service areas in the City.
City of Livermore, California. Impact fee work performed for Livermore by
MAXIMUS includes a total of five studies between 1991 and 2000. The most
recent studies were done in 1999-2000 to develop affordable housing fees for
commercial and industrial development and an inclusionary housing program
(including in -lieu fees) for residential development. The methodology used in
calculating the affordable housing fees was based on one upheld by the Federal
Ninth Circuit Court of Appeal in Commercial Builders v. The City of Sacramento.
The commercial/industrial fees were adopted by the City Council in February
1999. The inclusionary housing program was presented to the City Council in
March, 2000. Earlier impact fee studies for Livermore addressed water
distribution and storage improvements and community facilities such as police, fire,
library and general government buildings.
East Bay Municipal Utility District, Oakland California. In 1994-95, MAXIMUS
headed a team of technical consultants and legal advisors in evaluating the existing
Water System Capacity Charge for EBMUD, which is one of the largest water utili-
ties in the United States. The System Capacity Charge evolved over a period of fif-
teen years and was made up of several components including charges for future wa-
ter supply facilities, water main over -sizing and distribution system improvements.
The purpose of the study was to make recommendations regarding the legal and
technical defensibility of the various components of the SCC, and to advise on ad-
ministration and updating. Issues addressed in the study included, facility costs eli-
gible for recovery, methods of establishing and updating eligible costs, calculation
methods, nexus documentation, incorporation of financing costs, and depreciation
allowances, as well as the treatment of operating costs which reduce the need for
capital investment. The final report was presented to the District Board and used
by the District to revise the structure of the SCC.
City of Glendale, Arizona. In 1995, MAXIMUS developed a spreadsheet -based
impact fee model which would allow the City staff to calculate and update
defensible impact fees for all types of development -related capital facilities. The
model provides a choice of three computation methods, and calculates fees for as
many as eleven land use types. It allows the user to customize service areas by
automatically sorting data for any combination of 58 traffic analysis zones
represented in the model's development data bases. The study analyzed service
demand for all types of City facilities to establish demand factors used by the model
to represent the impacts of different types of development. The model runs in
Microsoft Excel for Windows. Key functions are automated using the Microsoft
Visual Basic Programming System, and are invoked by means of point -and -click
mouse commands.

TECHNICAL PROPOSAL
SCOPE OF SERVICES
The scope of services offered in this proposal is based on generally accepted prac-
tices in the calculation of development impact fees for California cities. The major
steps involved in that process are:
• Defining the study area and time frame for the analysis
• Defining land use categories to be used in the study
• Compiling data on existing and future development in the study area
• Identifying applicable level -of -service standards for each type of facility
• Analyzing the impact of development on the need for capital facilities
• Identifying facilities and costs eligible for impact fee funding
• Calculating impact fees
Preparing a report documenting the data and methodology used in calculating
the impact fees
Presenting the report to staff, the City Council and other groups as directed by
the City
Providing advice on implementation of the impact fees
The specific scope of services offered in this proposal is limited to addressing the
facility types listed below, and the tasks described in the following work plan. That
scope excludes legal, engineering, and architectural services. It also excludes the
preparation of planning studies, facility master plans, land use surveys, appraisals,
facility cost estimates, and collection or analysis of raw data. This proposal as-
sumes that any impact fees calculated as part of this study will be calculated for a
citywide service area.
FACILITY TYPES TO BE ADDRESSED
The types of facilities to be addressed in this study are:
• Wastewater Collection • Police Facilities and Vehicles
• Street Improvements/Traffic Signals • Parks/Recreation Facilities
• Fire Protection Facilities/Equipment • Libraries
INFORMATION TO BE PROVIDED BY THE CITY
Much of the work to be performed by the Consultant in the impact fee analysis will
depend on information and policy direction to be provided by the City. Some or
MAXIMUS

City of National City, CA — Proposal for a Development Impact Fee Study
all of the following information may be needed to complete work described in this
proposal:
• The General Plan, and other relevant planning documents
• A tabulation of existing and planned development in the study area, by
development type, through buildout of the planning horizon, and for
any service areas that are not co -incident with the study area
• Facility master plans and cost estimates for each type of facility to be
addressed in the analysis, if available. If such plans are not available,
some facility types covered by this study can be addressed on a unit
cost basis.
• Information on any outstanding debt related to existing capital facilities
• The City budget, Capital Improvement Program and facility financing
plans including other sources of revenue and proposed debt financing
for future facilities to receive impact fee funding.
This proposal is based on the understanding that all information needed to perform
the work covered by the scope of services will be provided by the City or is readily
available from published sources (e.g., Dept. of Finance population estimates).
WORK PLAN
The following work plan represents the anticipated steps to be completed by the
consultant for this project.
Task 1. Project Initiation. To initiate this study, the MAXIMUS project manager
will meet with key City staff and carry out other activities required to initiate the
study. Those activities would include the following:
• Review and refine goals, work plan and schedule
• Establish reporting relationships and procedures
• Identify key personnel and information resources
• Conduct initial interviews with key staff members
• Become familiar with the City's existing impact fee program
• Identify and collect data and documents relevant to the analysis
• Tour the study area to become familiar with geography, character,
development patterns, and existing public facilities
In addition, early in the project, the MAXIMUS project manager will be available
to conduct an impact fee workshop for all involved City staff to discuss legal
requirements, methodology and data needs for the study.
MAXIMUS Page 9
City of National C104 CA — Proposal for a Development Impact Fee Study
Work Product (Task 1): Refined project schedule, if needed; memorandum discussing
any policy issues identified in the initial discussions.
Task 2. Organize Development Data. The Consultant will review, organize and
analyze data on existing and future development provided by the City, and ensure
it is in a form useful for the impact fee analysis. Activities related to this task
include:
• Identify study area boundaries and time frame for development
projections
• Establish the land use categories to be used in the analysis
• Identify units of development to be used for each development type
(e.g, dwelling units, acres, building area)
• Organize and analyze data on existing development and future de-
velopment by land use category
• Extract relevant demographic data, such as persons per household by
unit type, from Census data and Department of Finance reports
Work Product (Task 2): Presentation of relevant development data as part of the
report.
Task 3. Impact Fee Analysis. The following sub -tasks represent the steps in a
typical impact fee analysis as applied to each type of facility addressed in the study.
The specifics of the impact fee analysis may vary somewhat depending on the
methodology applied to a particular facility type. The impact fee analysis for each
facility type would be presented in a separate report chapter.
Task 3a. Review Needs Analysis and Service Levels. The Consultant will
review needs analyses, adopted level -of -service standards, and actual service
levels for each facility type. Activities related to this task include:
Review facility plans, fixed asset inventories, and other docu-
ments establishing the relationship between development and
facility needs, by type
• Identify adopted level -of -service standard for each facility type
• Identify actual existing service level for each facility type
Define service standard to be used in the impact fee analysis
Identify any existing deficiencies relative to the service standard
Task 3b. Identify Facilities/Costs Eligible for Impact Fee Funding. As an
essential part of the nexus analysis, the Consultant will evaluate the impact
MAXIMUS Page 10
City of National City, CA — Proposal for a Development Impact Fee Study
of development on the need for additional facilities, by type, and identify
costs eligible for impact fee funding. Elements of this analysis include the
following activities:
• Convert development data into measures of impact for each
type of facility to be addressed in the study (e.g., population,
vehicle trips)
• Apply defined service standards to data on future development
to identify the impacts of development on facility needs
• Consider the effect of any existing deficiencies or outstanding
debt on existing facilities
• Identify facilities eligible for impact fee funding
• Compile development -related improvement costs, including
interest on borrowed capital, if appropriate
• Adjust costs as needed to reflect other funding sources
Task 3 c. Calculate Impact Fees. The Consultant will calculate impact fees
by facility type and development category. The steps in that process include
the following:
Select appropriate fee calculation method (e.g., plan -based,
capacity -based, or standard -based)
Specify formulas to allocate facility costs in proportion to the
impact of specific amounts and types of development
• Calculate a cost per unit of service for each facility type
• Convert cost per unit of service into a schedule of impact fees
per development unit, by land use category and facility type
Project revenue potential of proposed fees.
Work Product (Task 3): A complete impact fee analysis with fee calculations and fee
schedules for each facility type addressed in the study, as part of the study report.
Task 4. Prepare Reports. As the study proceeds, the Consultant will prepare
administrative drafts of portions of the report and submit those drafts for staff
review and comments. Upon completion of the analysis, a first draft of the entire
study report, incorporating any previous staff comments, will be submitted for
review by the City staff and presentation to the City Council, and to representatives
of the development industry if desired by the City.
The report will include the following components:
• Executive summary including summary of proposed impact fees.
MAX/MUS Page 11
City of National City, CA — Proposal for a Development Impact Fee Study
• A chapter discussing legal framework and impact fee methodology.
• A chapter presenting data on existing and planned development in
the study area as well as impact measures for each type of facility.
• A separate chapter for each facility type addressing level of service stan-
dards, eligible costs, cost allocation, fee calculations, fee schedules, and
projected revenue.
• A chapter on implementation recommendations
Following completion and presentation of the draft report, one round of additional
changes will be incorporated to produce a final report. This proposal assumes that
only minor changes will be required following completion of the draft.
Work Products (Task 4): Administrative drafts, first draft (10 copies and a
reproducible master), and final study report (10 copies and a reproducible master).
Task 5. Implementation Assistance. The Consultant will assist the City in drafting
technical language and findings to be included in the ordinance or resolution
adopting the impact fees. The Consultant will also make recommendations on
implementation and administration of the impact fee program. Issues to be
addressed regarding implementation focus on the need to protect the integrity of
the nexus and comply with the Mitigation Fee Act through proper implementation
and administration. They include:
• Updating and indexing of fees
• Collection, budgeting and expenditure controls
• Accounting, and reporting procedures required to satisfy the Mitigation
Fee Act
• Provision of credits for facilities constructed by developers
• Administrative appeals
• Adjustment of fees in unusual cases
Work Product (Task 5): Technical language and findings for enactment of the fees
and implementation recommendations as part of the impact fee report.
Task 6. Meetings/Presentations. This proposal includes three site visits by
consulting staff to meet with City staff during preparation of the study, and two
site visits to present the draft report to the City Council and/or other interested
groups. Additional meetings, if requested by the City, would be treated as
additional services and charged on a time and expenses basis.

SCHEDULE
The progress of any impact fee study depends to a considerable extent on the
amount of time required for the client to provide information needed by the Con-
sultant. A normal time frame for this type of study --assuming data collection goes
smoothly --is 4-5 months from kickoff to draft report. Only 6-8 weeks of that time
is typically required by the consultant to organize data, do the analysis, and com-
plete a draft report once all of the required data on development and facility needs
and costs are provided. The balance of the time is used by the Consultant to be-
come familiar with the locality and background information, and to guide the staff
in assembling data needed for the analysis.
CONFLICT OF INTEREST STATEMENT
To be best of our knowledge, MAXIMUS has no existing or potential conflicts of
interest related to the performance of this study.

Proposed Lump Sum Cost. Based on the above estimates MAXIMUS offers to pre-
pare an impact fee study, as described in this proposal, for a total cost of
37,850.00, including all expenses. The proposed cost assumes the work will not be
delayed or interrupted by the City for any period exceeding 60 days, or for a cu-
mulative period of 120 days before completion of all work covered by this pro-
posal. It also assumes that once work performed by the Consultant is approved by
the City in the course of the study, the City will not change the information relied
upon by the Consultant in the completion of that work. In the event of such delays
or revisions, the Consultant shall have the right to request additional compensation
for actual costs incurred as a result.
Invoicing. Invoices will be submitted monthly, based on time and expenses
charged to the project each month, but not to exceed the estimated percentage of
the work completed up to that time.
ADDITIONAL SERVICES
In the event the City requests additional services in not covered by the scope of this
proposal, those services will be billed at the standard hourly rates for the personnel
involved, plus actual expenses. No such additional services will be undertaken
without written authorization from the City.
EXPIRATION OF PROPOSAL
This proposal will remain in effect for 60 days from the date of submittal.

ITEM TITLE A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY
AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE AN AGREEMENT WITH MAXIMUS TO
PROVIDE THE CITY WITHHAAN IMPACT FEE NALYSIS
PREPARED BY Kathleen Trees 17—e� 4213 � DEPARTMENT Building & Safety
EXPLANATION AB 1600, the California Mitigation Fee Act, took effect in 1989. This bill allows
jurisdictions to charge developers of new residential and commercial projects fees to
mitigate the cost of the increased use of public facilities, such as police stations and equipment, fire stations
and equipment, libraries, streets, sewers, and parks. Until recently, the City has not had a large amount of
new development that would cause a significant increase in demand on city facilities. The City does,
however, currently charge developers of new projects $125 for parks and approximately $1,500 for sewer.
The City is now experiencing an increase in new development that will potentially have an impact on the
city's current facilities. To determine the size of the impact and whether the City will need to mitigate the
impact in the form of impact fees, the City has contacted MAXIMUS to study the problem. MAXIMUS has
done impact fee studies since 1989 in over 50 jurisdictions and they are familiar with California law.
MAXIMUS will establish the relationship between development and facility needs, and identify any
deficiencies resulting from additional development. They will also evaluate the impact of development on the
need for additional facilities and identify the costs eligible for impact fee funding. They will then calculate
the impact fees the City can charge for each type of facility listed above. This information will be presented
to the City Council for use in establishing impact fees in National City.
Attached is the proposal with additional information.
