As such, we work cooperatively with all stakeholders to ensure that all perspectives and issues are addressed, mutual agreement reached, and successful programs implemented. Establishing an environment that fosters collaboration among project participants is a critical success factor. Information sharing, collaboration, and joint problem solving is a cornerstone of our approach to this effort. Our staff members' strengths are their ability to develop effective partnerships with our clients. We understand that we are your consultants and that you are in control of the programs. We will consult with you on what we believe is the most effective strategy to meet your goals and objectives. Many of our staff members are former government employees. Thus, we know and understand how public agencies operate and how decisions are made. We will work as your partner so that together we can design projects to best fit with how the County operates and best meets the County's goals and objectives. In our WBS contained above in Section 1 of this proposal, we provide a detailed work plan for how we plan to conduct this user fee initiative for Monroe County. The work plan provides the following: ■ A clear description of the tasks proposed to carry out the various aspects of the work and to fulfill the objectives identified within the scope of this RFP • A schedule of activities indicating the start and completion date of each task and any interdependence of activities • An indication of timing of meetings that would be required with County staff • An indication of the timing of draft reports. Use a period of five (S) working days as an estimate for the County's review period of any draft reports or submissions provided • An indication of deliverables corresponding with the detailed activities /tasks • An indication of approvals required by the County at each stage of the assignment • A clear outline of key communication tasks We elaborate on each task required to meet the County's goals through this solicitation, in greater detail below: Task 1. Conduct Kickoff Meeting Successful projects do not happen without planning and communication. We propose to begin the project by meeting with staff committee members to review and refine the project methodology. We will lead a kick -off meeting with staff from each Department, the County Growth Management and Budget Department, and Finance to discuss any current problems or issues with the existing fee resolution. It is our intent to request and review data prior to arriving onsite, which we have found makes for a more efficient study and is less intrusive to the client. r EXHIBIT A: Scope of Services Page 2 Among the kickoff meeting topics are: • How will the County judge the completeness and correctness of the work? We need to agree on this before the work starts, instead of using the deliverable review process to define expectations for deliverables. This is vital to keeping the project on schedule, within budget and to meeting your expectations. • Your need for information during the project and your expectations for who may direct our work and ask us to provide information ■ Protocol for whom to contact if things do not proceed as planned and who you should approach from our firm, so that any misunderstandings can be resolved promptly and to everyone's satisfaction • Expectations of the parties that will be involved in or affected by this work • Risks to project success and tentative means of overcoming them • County expectations for discounts, fee waivers and sliding scale or bulk discount pricing. • Establish a steering committee to oversee the project and make policy decisions on how the user fees project should proceed • Establish, verify, and confirm the scope of the project. • Confirm dates for Project Status meetings in Marathon and Key Largo • Determine timetable for Building Industry meetings in Marathon and Key Largo It is our understanding that the County seeks to enact a new fee resolution based on service delivery that is cost -based and satisfies Florida Statutes. We will also discuss with the project stakeholders and Department personnel the need to simplify their current fee schedule. As the industry leader in determining user fee service costs, we have developed several proprietary user fee models to calculate service costs. Our NEXUS model for Building and Safety fees addresses the very specific nature of building fees and the requirement to accommodate a wide range of structures and structure sizes. Our NEXUS model will provide Monroe County with a fee structure that conforms to the Florida Building Code (which is derived from the International Building Code). In our experience, developers prefer this structure and client staff find it easier to administer. NEXUS produces three types of fee price schedules: • Prices based on the International Building Code occupancy types, with detail and scaling by project size • Mechanical, Plumbing and Electrical permits when required outside separate from structural work ■ Miscellaneous permits, such as contractor licenses, fences, decks, signs and the like — the list is customizable to each client nAMnnus EXHIBIT A: Scope of Services Page 3 Task 2. Review and Develop Indirect Cost Rates Indirect costs are those that have been incurred for common or joint purposes. These costs benefit more than one cost objective and cannot be readily identified with a particular final cost objective such as a user fee or licensing permit without effort disproportionate to the results achieved. After direct costs have been determined and assigned directly to specific fee activities and other activities as appropriate, indirect costs are those remaining to be allocated to benefitted cost objectives or in this case Monroe County's Fee Schedule. Indirect costs include (a) the indirect costs originating in each department or agency of the governmental unit carrying out the directly identifiable work effort or service and (b) the costs of central governmental services distributed through the central service cost allocation plan or other means of accurate cost accounting distribution. Indirect costs are normally charged to cost objectives by the use of an indirect cost rate. A separate indirect cost rate(s) is usually necessary for each department or agency of the governmental unit claiming indirect costs. MAXIMUS will employ the guidelines set forth in OMB A -87 to prepare an indirect cost rate specific to the County's Building Department and subsequently apply this rate to appropriate costs that flow through our user fee models. This insures the County that the full cost of operations have been calculated and applied to each user fee, license, permit or inspection administered by the Building Department. Because of the diverse characteristics and accounting practices of governmental units, the types of costs which may be classified as indirect costs cannot be specified in all situations. However, MAXIMUS has been preparing indirect cost allocation plans and indirect cost rates for over 30 years and performs over 2,000 of these engagements each year for all 50 states. More than all other firms combined. Typical examples of indirect costs that our Project Team will analyze will include your central service costs, such as general administration of the Building Department, accounting and personnel services provided to the Building Department, depreciation or use allowances on buildings and equipment that house Building Department fee activities including operations in both Largo and Marathon, the costs of operating and maintaining facilities, to name a few. Task 3. Determine Cost -Based Fee Findings Reflecting Service and Delivery Methods MAXIMUS has broad and recent experience in this field, both across Florida and in large county operations nationally. Our project team expertise allows us to not only to anticipate the County's needs, but also allows us to share solutions that have worked successfully elsewhere. We will review and discuss fee structures from other comparable municipalities. Based on these results, we will tailor our model to meet the needs of Monroe County. We will work with the Department to identify all of the functional units and service types for which a different fee will be established and the appropriate basis for fees. This phase includes accumulate all of the relevant costs for a full -cost recovery target, including support costs from other Departments. MAXIMUS ensures that all applicable costs are included in this fee study. We will provide complete documentation of all of our findings, and will remain available by telephone to answer questions about how to interpret or use these findings. MAXIMUS EXHIBIT A: Scope of Services Page 4 Key features of our model include: ■ Revenue Analysis — Multiplying building fee prices by quantity of fees issued will not produce a revenue estimate that reconciles to County financial records. Building revenues may be received in one fiscal year, but the services not be performed until the following year. We correlate net revenues based on identical unit volume data under both the current fee schedule and the new NEXUS schedule. The figures should be reasonably close, but not necessarily identical. ■ Time to Perform Services — Some user fee models ask for clients to describe the time required to provide a service in the aggregate (i.e., how much time does it take to do all of the work related to a single- family new residence ?) NEXUS breaks the service down to its components, which we feel leads to more accurate time estimates. We apply this time to an average departmental hourly rate to derive cost by service. We use scaling assumptions that we will discuss with the County, and the County may accept them or discuss an alternative scaling method with us. ■ Staffing Requirements — By varying forecast unit volumes, the County will be in a position to understand its future staffing requirements better. Typically, we expect a percentage difference in productive hours available versus consumed of +/- 10 %. Anything significantly above or below that amount suggests an over- or under - allocation of staff at current workload levels. We discuss how workload may be changing so that the implications of this finding are appropriate to local circumstances. We can say with justification that the MAXIMUS NEXUS application for building fees is the best such application available to local governments. A few of our former employees — who used to tell clients that NEXUS was the best available solution — have departed to competitor firms, and are now in the uncomfortable position of trying to deny their previous comments. Some of these firms have developed spreadsheet -based "knock- offs" of our NEXUS application, but these imitators lack the functionality and proven track record that only NEXUS provides. Only the MAXIMUS NEXUS application has been in broad use in Florida and nationally and only this application has sustained court review. Our purpose is to delve into how the Department performs each of the fee services. This process involves several steps. We will begin by review the County's current fee schedules and support costs charged by all Departments involved in the process. We will review all relevant prior studies, existing cost allocation studies and historical revenues. While we will be sensitive to the interruptions our work will cause, we need access to supervisors in the Department who can explain work processes and estimate the time required for these steps. We do not need to meet with all of the Department's employees. Supervisors capable of explaining the steps in intake, plan review, and inspection should plan to attend, but typically, a client would send only a handful of people to these meetings. We would meet separately with plan review staff, inspectors, and intake staff. The Department should also assign a liaison familiar with the NMIMUS EXHIBIT A: Scope of Services Page 5 Department's finances and who is capable of extracting data from the Department's financial records or systems. We need to gain an understanding of labor efforts for each service. We will ask County staff in Marathon and Largo to decompose their work into steps and will estimate the time required for each step. The Department will need to provide data for the amount of staff time spent on plans review, inspections and other fee related tasks. We will use this data to develop our model. We may not obtain all of the data we need in the first visit. Inevitably, some of the Department's staff will be unavailable when we wish to meet with them, or will need to research the answers to our questions. Our schedule assumes that the Department's staff will be available and able to provide reasonably prompt responses to our data requests. If exceptions arise, we will discuss the options with the County's project liaison. This is also our opportunity to ask you questions that will help us to identify all of the sources of cost, whether the County ultimately chooses to seek recovery of all of those costs required to serve a citizen. Cost includes: • The direct staff involved in providing the service • The supervisors and support staff on which they rely • Consumable items in the annual appropriation • Direct support from other departments • City full overhead indirect cost • Allocations of fixed assets • Age and features of technology and facilities To the extent that each billed activity has unique characteristics, we will seek to understand the unique cost of that activity. Part of the cost of these services is in the administrative and overhead support they receive from other areas of the County government — payroll, human services, finance, purchasing, and so forth. It is also important to capture the costs or overhead of those departments /divisions responsible for collecting and recording County license, permit and fee revenues. We will also identify pooled costs to be allocated indirectly to each activity (e.g., registration for activities requiring it), along with useful proxy measures to help us associate the indirect cost with billable activities. We will compile non -labor costs that support staff efforts (budgeted non -labor expenditures, internal administrative support, County overhead, fixed assets) and address whether these need to be directly assigned to specific activities, allocated to indicate benefit to multiple activities, or excluded for not being relevant to particular services. To help the County understand what we offer, we provide some examples of tables and reports. The system is table- driven, and many of the nearly two dozen tables are background working papers or inputs to other tables that we would review with the County, but not include in a final report. N MIMUS EXHIBIT A: Scope of Services Page 6 Productive Hours Staff are paid more hours than they have available for assignment. Paid leave and administrative assignments are important considerations. Federal rules for cost studies related to Federal grants and contracts sanction these adjustments. While the County is not under an obligation to follow Federal costing rules, the use of these rules imposes an additional level of credibility to the findings.

We make some simplifying assumptions. ■ There are certain permit types for which we will ask questions about effort level differences for projects of different sizes in a single occupancy type. For example, how long does it take to provide a group of services for a single family residence of 2,000 square feet, 4,000 square feet, 6,000 square feet, 8,000 square feet, and so on. The County's answers to how much longer it takes to serve a larger -sized project within these key occupancy types represent a percentage difference that we can apply to related occupancy types.

Should the County's time inputs vary significantly from those of other jurisdictions; MAXIMUS will work with the County to help identify possible explanations. We extend time estimates by demand quantities to estimate the total time spent per activity. There is virtually no chance that the first round estimates will sum to the amount of time available. Once we quantify the variance, we work with your staff to refine the estimates. There are a few checks and balances to validate the estimates. • Estimates have to sum to not more than the amount of time available • If a person overestimates the time for activity "X," it will deplete the remaining available time for services "Y" and "Z," creating a reality check on estimates MAXIMUS EXHIBIT A: Scope of Services Page 9 • County department heads will review the estimates to confirm that they appear reasonable (not perfect, but reasonable, since it is not possible to use history to predict the future perfectly) • We review the estimates to benchmark them for reasonableness against answers from other clients providing comparable services. We find that the time required to perform these activities varies little by jurisdiction. For mechanical, electrical, and plumbing permits on a stand -alone basis, the process is simpler. Provided below is an example of the simplified form we use for this table.

Review County - Provided Demand Data by Permit Type and Determine how to Express the Costs per Permit We will prepare a summary table showing the name of each billed activity, the annual quantity billed (provided by the County), the current price, the calculated actual cost per customer and the total budgetary impact at current price and actual cost. We can test if there are any "red flag" issues for discussion with you. We will work with the County to identify which fees should be set at full cost and which fees should be set at below cost. We will prepare estimates for the revenue that will be generated once the new fees are implemented. We will identify the revenue that will be generated under different options for cost recovery. NiA IMU EXHIBIT A: Scope of Services Page 11 Task 5. Prepare for Presentation at Industry and County Commission Meetings At this phase of the project it is imperative to identify impediments to implementation of the user fees. As part of this process we will work with key stakeholders, community organizations and local residents to identify any issues or concerns with the proposed user fees. This process will also help create a public awareness of the purposes for the cost of services analysis and gain community support for the user fees. We will meet with the County in person and in both Marathon and Key Largo locations to review the first draft. Some of this material is technical. It helps to have the entire MAXIMUS Project Team onsite to explain it, to confirm the facts and assumptions, and to direct the County's attention to items that need more review. The County should expect to meet with MAXIMUS in groups. just as the initial meetings divide into teams (i.e., plan review, inspection, and intake), so will the review. The same staff who attended the initial meetings should attend the first review. It takes a few drafts to confirm the facts and reconcile the labor and financial data to appropriate levels. Once we have met with the County's team in person to review the first draft of the study, there is no need to be onsite for additional edits. We will perform those reviews by Internet meetings and by phone. Experience tells us that in any organization, some staff will be require more time than anticipated, will be unavailable, or will be unable to commit to decisions. We stress that our goal is to be reasonable and defensible, but not perfect. To the extent that we are using recent data to predict the future, no one should expect complete precision. If we believe that we are facing such an obstacle, we will discuss the situation with the Department's liaison and develop a plan for closure. Our work plan shows "dependencies" - tasks that cannot proceed until prior tasks finish. Task 6. Final Presentations Builders are sensitive about fee prices. Elected officials do not increase fee prices without justification. Many local governments have found that setting prices that recover the cost of providing services is fair and efficient. We will present our recommendations to the project staff committee, County management, and the industry. Recommend modifications to the fee schedule resolution for each of the departments involved in the County's Building Development Process. V Recommend updates to the fees for the next fiscal year, and provide a methodology for recommending updates in subsequent years. We assume that our entire project team should attend each presentation. Not knowing the nature of the presentations, we are not sure of the level of detail V Provide written guidelines (process and procedures) for the implementation of the recommended fee ordinance. that these presentations will involve. Therefore, we felt it necessary for the authors of the study to be present. If there are presentations that will not involve all of the project team, we would be pleased to revise our quote to reflect the change. MAXIMUS v ti a m m 2 X w vi 00 C . E T d, C O C C.
