CITY OF CORPUS CHRISTI
WATER SUPPLY ALTERNATIVE FUNDING STRATEGIES
PROJECT NO. E13012
SCOPE OF PROFESSIONAL SERVICES TO ASSIST IN MARY RHODES PIPELINE — PHASE II NEGOTIATIONS
AND TO EVALUATE ALTERNATIVE FUNDING STRATEGIES FOR WATER SUPPLY AND OTHER WATER-
RELATED INFRASTRCUTURE
The City of Corpus Christi is facing significant water - related infrastructure challenges arising from
various factors, including: generalized growth, booming oil /gas industrial development, increased
maritime trade, and potential increased wholesale service demands coupled with continuing, perhaps
record drought conditions; low lake levels and reliability concerns increasingly - limited, readily - available
excess water supply; aging infrastructure; and regulatory compliance issues.
This has necessitated accelerated considerations of funding and constructing the Mary Rhodes — Phase II
pipeline project and how those costs might be shared with other parties. Also in recent years, the City
has made great strides in addressing various utility planning, capital, and funding issues, including an
overhaul and reform of its utility rate structures; enactment of a water supply development rate
surcharge and associated reserve fund; formal provision of various levels of operating, contingency, and
capital reserve accounts; adoption of various other capital program policies; and bringing the CIP
process into timing synchronization with the annual budget process. However even with these actions,
a more comprehensive array of funding and financing strategies is likely needed to better manage these
significant infrastructure costs and their impact on future ratepayers.
This proposed scope of services would provide for: (A) analysis and contract negotiation support for the
Mary Rhodes — Phase II project, and (B) an analysis of strategies to manage capital costs and help
minimize impacts on customer rates.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
EFFORT A — PROVIDE ANALYTICAL AND NEGOTIATION SUPPORT FOR A MARY RHODES — PHASE II
FUNDING AGREEMENT
Task A -1— Assessment of Funding Proposals
HDR would confer with the City on the current status of discussions with potential funding partners.
HDR would review the current cost projections for the project and various project options, assess the
timing of City regional water supply needs, and the current proposals and positions in the negotiations
and recommend to the City a strategy for proceeding. HDR would then provide analytical support to the
City, as needed, as negotiations proceed towards decision - making.
Task A -2 — Coordination
HDR would provide coordination support in meeting, briefing, or negotiating with various entities
related to the potential project which could include, among others: City staff, management, and Council;
its Financial Advisor and Bond Counsel; and LNRA /Formosa. Given the unknown number of potential
meetings, HDR has budgeted a placeholder amount for this.
EXHIBIT "A"
Pa e 1 of 3
EFFORT B — ASSESS AND RECOMMEND STRATEGIES TO MANAGE CAPITAL COSTS
AND EFFECT ON THE RATES
Task B -1— Data Gathering, Kick -off Meeting, and Policy Discussion
HDR would initiate this effort with an initial kick -off meeting to discuss information sources, City goals,
current funding programs and recent initiatives, policy issues, and to refine the study approach and
subject matter.
Task B -2 — Identify and Assess Measures that Affect City Capital Costs
HDR will assess various techniques or market conditions that could lower City capital (project) costs and
make recommendations to the City on possible program changes. This will include consideration of
economies of scale and oversizing, value engineering, strategic bidding approaches, construction market
conditions, and cost - sharing through partnering.
Task B -3 — Identify and Assess Factors that Affect Project Implementation
HDR will review and assess existing City programs for project delivery and various forms of alternative
delivery, ranging from more traditional approaches to CMAR to design -build to full privatization. Pros
and cons of these project delivery methods will be identified reviewing such factors as legal authority,
timeliness, quality of construction, span of City control, project cost, and administrative costs.
Task B-4 — Identify and Assess Programs that Affect City Financing Costs
In consultation with City Finance Staff, HDR will evaluate interim construction funding, pros and cons of
cash versus debt project funding, mixes of cash /debt funding, debt funding through market versus
subsidized loans, tax - exempt versus taxable bond implications, and potential grant programs. HDR will
make recommendation to the City for possible program changes.
Task B -5 — Identify and Assess Factors that Affect the Timing of Capital Costs
HDR will identify and assess factors that affect the timing of capital costs, including situations where the
timing of implementation of projects is under City control and just -in -time construction can be
accommodated, or alternatively, where external forces and opportunity are governing the timing of
action that might result in carrying the cost of excess capacity for a longer period of time. Other factors
to be reviewed that affect the timing of costs would include such factors as deferred payment
approaches (ex. timing of bond issues and first payments, interest -only and backloading debt schedules,
deferred payment subsidized loans, etc.). Again, recommendations would be made for City
consideration.
Task B -6 — Funding Approaches that Affect the Incidence of Risk, Who Pays and How
In this task effort, HDR will examine cost allocation and revenue recovery methods that can affect the
incidence of risk, who pays, how they pay, and resulting customer equity considerations. This review
will examine alternative utility rate funding approaches; rate surcharges; impact fees of various forms;
and contract provisions. These mechanism will be assessed for customer equity; funding effectiveness
and revenue. stability; risk incidence, implementation issues, on -going administrative costs, and
legal /regulatory defensibility. Recommendations would be made for City consideration.
Task B -7— Coordination, Reporting, and Scheduling
HDR proposes close coordination with the City staff through regular phone and e-mail communications,
scheduled coordination meetings or presentations to staff at key milestones in the effort. Our budget
assumes two work sessions with City staff and one presentation to the City Council.
EXHIBIT "A"
Pa e2of3
HDR will prepare and deliver 10 copies of a draft and final report. The draft report will be provided to
the City and allow for a two weeks comments period, and then submission of a final report.
Given Notice to Proceed, it is anticipated that this portion of the study effort will take approximately 90-
120 days to prepare a draft report for City review.
SCHEDULE
For the Phase A efforts concerning the Mary Rhodes. Phase II negotiations, HDR would perform on an on-
call or as- needed basis and continue to support the City until the effort is completed or budgeted funds
are expended. For the Phase B efforts concerning capital cost management and effect on the rates, HDR
will prepare a draft report for City review within 60 - 90 days of Notice to Proceed.
BUDGET
HDR proposes to conduct the study effort for an amount of $80,000. This fee is proposed on a per diem
basis, not to be exceeded without advance written authorization from the City. Extra coordination, if
desired, can be provided on a per diem basis at the hourly rates shown in Table 1. Billing would be
made on a monthly basis with payment due within 45 days of invoicing.
