PRESENTER/S: Joanna Crean, Project Manager
Todd Cristiano, Red (~ak Consulting
EYECUTIVE SUMII~ZARY:
The February 25, 2008 ~~~R~B meeting served as an opportunity to update the board on
the Plant Investment Fee (PIF} study. The March 17 meeting will serve as an opportunity
to provide some additional information on the PIF study based on further analy~sis that
Red C7ak Consulting has completed. In addition, staff ~~ill be able to update WRAB on
the outcome of the PIF stakeholder meeting scheduled for March 12.
B~CKGROUND:
_~s contained in Attachment A(Analysis of PIF Characteristics Nlemo), Red Oak has
completed some additional analy~sis as a result of the January 30 stakeholder meeting.
The analysis is intended to pro~~ide additional information regarding the characteristics
for determining PIFs and theii• irnpact on equity and other city objectives. Red ~ak has
also co~npleted the asset valuation and cost allocation for functional categories, which is
included in the memo.
At the PIF stal~eholder meeting on Niarch 12, Red Oak will present the comparison
matrix used in selecting the most appropriate PIF characteristics by comparing them to
the goals and objectives of the PIF study. The stakeholder members will provide
feedback on the ~natrix ~nd on Red ~~k's preliminaiy recomtnendation. All of the
feedback from the stakeholder meeting «~ill Ue presented to t~~R~-1B at the March 17
meeting.
NEZT STEPS:
It is anticipated that the stal~eholder group will haj~e its final meeting on March 12.
Ho«~ever, if it is determined at the March meeting that additional information is needed
in order to complete their evaluation and provide feedback, then the stakeholder group
will reconvene on April lb and the results will be presented to ~'RAB at the April 21
WRAB meeting.
AGEND~ ITEM # P~GE
All of the feedback will be compiled and presented to City Council at a study session on
April 22, 2008. It is anticipated that the City Council would make a final decision about
any changes to the current PIF methodology and assessment schedule as part of the 2009
budget process. In addition to the PIF study, three other development-related fees
(development excise tax, development review fees and building plan review, permit &
inspection fees) are being evaluated for possible changes. The City Council will review
and consider the full impact of the development-related fees during the 2009 budget
process. Any PIF changes should be implemented January 1, 2009. Prior to
implementation, any PIF changes and financial impacts ~~-ill be communicated to the
public via utility bill inserts, news releases, newsletters and targeted mailings. In addition,
several public meetings will be held to inform customers of the potential impacts.

1.0 Introduction
Red Oak, with assistance from Staff, has issued 2 technical memorandums over the
course of this study. The memorandums analyzed a number of characteristics for each
customer class. Through the Stakeholder meetings and discussion with Staff, Red Oak
has conducted additional analysis on certain characteristics to assist in determining the
most appropriate set of parameters to assess PIFs that meet the City's goals and
objectives.
11 Study Objective
Page 2 of the City's scope of work document listed the objectives for the PIF study.
These objectives are summarized below:
• Equitably recover costs
• Administered simply and effectively
• Understood by the customer community
• Ensure a solid legal foundation for PIFs and
• To reinforce the goals and objectives of the new water budget rate structure
The characteristics presented in this memorandum and previous memorandums are
designed to assist Stakeholders and Staff in determining which characteristics meet the
study's goals and objectives.
1.2 PIF Methodology
The calculation of the Plant Investment Fees (PIFs) is based on the buy-in approach
where customers connecting to the system are asked to pay aone-time capital charge to
compensate current customers for past investments. The buy-in method uses a historical
perspective, i.e., is based on the current value or investment in the utility system. The
original cost ofthe system's existing fixed assets is a critical component ofthis analysis.
Costs are identified by year with the original costs escalated to current values using an
adjustment index such as the Engineering News Record Denver Construction Cost Index.
Further adjustments are generally made to account for outstanding debt service principal
and accumulated depreciation. The result represents an estimate of current system equity
held by the existing customers of the system. Because Boulder is a mature community
with significant past investment that can be used to serve future growth, the buy-in
approach was determined to be the most appropriate and equitable methodology.
2.0 Capacity and Asset Valuations
Asset valuation and capacity valuations serve as the basis for determining PIF unit costs.
These unit costs are then applied to the selected parameters to determine a customer's
individual PIF.
Analysis of Plant Investment Fee Characteristics Page 3
21 Capacity Valuations
Typically, current system equity is converted to a unit charge by dividing total equity by
the number of customers connected to the system or by a similar measure of existing
system capacity. This study evaluated the design capacities of the water and wastewater
plants. Stormwater capacity is based on the current impervious area of the system.
2.2 Asset Valuation and Functionalization
Valuation of system assets can be calculated a number of ways.
• Original cost (OC)
• Original cost less depreciation (OCLD)
• Replacement cost (RC)
• Replacement cost less accumulated depreciation (RCLD)
Each method has advantages and disadvantages. With OCLD, new customers are able to
buy into the system at a lower cost relative to customers who previously bought into the
system. This methodology also yields the lowest PIF. The OC methodology also creates
an inequity between new and existing customers. New customers are buying into the
system at historical years' costs and are implicitly charged for accumulated depreciation.
The RC method typically yields the highest PIF and implicitly includes a return on
investment at a construction-based inflation rate. RCLD values the system at current
costs however, it includes accumulated depreciation. The reduction of RC value by
accumulated depreciation recognizes that facilities have been `used up' and their value is
less than the full replacement cost. Red Oak recommends the RCLD methodology as it
best satisfies intergenerational equity requirements. The RCLD methodology places new
customers in the same equity position as existing customers.
Water Uti&ty
The asset valuation allocation to customer service characteristics varies with the
allocation methodology used. This study relies on the base/extra-capacity cost allocation
method as outlined in the Principles of Water Rates, Fees, and Charges Manual MI by
the American Water Works Association (AWWA). This method assigns costs to the
following customer service characteristics:
• Base (average day)
• Extra Capacity -Maximum Day
• Extra Capacity -Maximum Hour
Base costs vary with water consumption under average load conditions. Base costs are
those costs that would be incurred if water consumption occurred evenly from day to day
and hour to hour, so that the utility did not need to invest in additional capacity to meet
peak demand.
Analysis of Plant Investment Fee Characteristics Page 4
Extra capacity costs are costs incurred to meet water demands that exceed average levels
of water usage by customers. Extra capacity costs are incurred because of water usage
variations and peak demands imposed on a water system. Such demands depend on
customer water consumption characteristics. Extra capacity costs are typically divided
into costs incurred to meet maximum-day and maximum-hour water demands of system
customers. The table below summarizes the water system asset valuation and capacity
across functional costs components.
Water System
Functional Distribution of Asset V slue and Capacity
Description RCLD Capacity
Raw Water $394,073,000 30,650 acre-feet
Infrastructure Peak 349,354,602 33,000,000 gpd a'
Infrastructure Base (Average Day) 417,288,177 20,000,000 gpd
Total Facilities $1,160,715,779
(a) Represents capacity above average day. Peak day is 53 mgd; Average day is 20 mgd.
(b) Peak month capacity is 35,000, 000 gpd. Used for water budget-based PIPS.
Each customer contributes to the peak demand of the system. Peak demands for the City
of Boulder typically occur in the summer months of June or July. This peak day
represents the maximum water delivered in one 24 hour period. Regardless of how
customers use this water within the 24 hours period, the system must be capable of
meeting this demand.
Water system infrastructure is designed to meet a peak day capacity requirement of 53
million gallons per day (mgd). The average day rated demand is 20 mgd. The resulting
peak day peaking factor for the City's water system is 2.70. This peaking factor can be
used as a proxy for estimating a new customer's potential 1-day demand, regardless of
what month this potential peak will occur. Including system peak demand factors as part
of the PIF assessment schedule provide an estimate of a customer's peak demand
potential. Customer class peak factors can be an alternative to using system peak demand
factors to estimate a new customer's potential peak demand. Customer class peaking
factors are based on a relationship of customer class monthly billing data and system
average day and peak day production. Customer class peaking factors are designed to
show the demand differentials between classes. For example, a residential and
commercial customer could have the same annual water requirements; however, the peak
demand they place on the system could vary significantly which may require different
facilities to serve them. Peak demand factors are one of many design criteria for water
systems. The design peak demand factors are typically stated in master planning
documents; annual production records also record peak demands. Customer class
peaking factors, on the other hand, are not directly measured and are subject to more
potential for error since billing data used to calculate the factors are recorded monthly
Analysis of Plant Investment Fee Characteristics Page 5
rather than daily. System design peak factors are fairly static and may change only with a
change in the design of the water plant or water facilities.
Wastewater Utility
As with water utilities, the allocation of revenue requirements to customer service
characteristic for wastewater service varies among utilities. Generally, revenue
requirements are allocated to the following customer service characteristics:
• Flow
• Biochemical oxygen demand
• Total suspended solids
• Total nitrogen
Flow costs are costs that vary with the hydraulic flow of sewage. Therefore, the relative
strength of sewage does not affect flow costs. Typically, flow costs include the cost of
operating lift stations and the capital costs for assets that are designed based on hydraulic
flow requirements.
Sewage strength costs, including biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), total suspended
solids (TSS), and total nitrogen (TN), represent costs incurred to treat wastewater of
various qualities. Examples of strength-related costs are certain chemicals and electrical
costs associated with operation of the aeration basins.
The distribution of costs among customer service characteristics varies from one sewer
utility to the next and can be determined only after an engineering analysis of the utility's
makeup and operating history. City Staff completed the analysis of Boulder's wastewater
system to address these cost allocations.

(a) gpd =gallons per day; ppd =pounds per day.
Analysis of Plant Investment Fee Characteristics Page 6
Stormwater
Unlike water and wastewater, stormwater assets are not allocated to functional
components and are based on total system impervious area The total stormwater RCLD
is $254,727,507 with a total impervious area of 3,728 acres.
2.3 Fire Protection Functional Cost Component
The cost for water demand for fire protection is typically small in a system serving mid-
to-large size cities because the total water needed for fire protection is very small
compared with the annual water demands for domestic/potable use. The fire flow
demands are usually estimated using a formula with the population size as the
predominant factor. Insurance Services Office (ISO) formulas are also used to determine
how much water is needed in the design of the system to meet the demand for fighting
several simultaneous fires.
Thus, from a water source viewpoint, fire protection capital costs are minimal. However,
from a water distribution viewpoint, the oversizing of distribution pipelines and storage
facilities is handled as an extra-capacity cost (i.e. maximum day/maximum hour). In
cities of 100,000 population and larger, fire related represent approximately 20 percent of
total capacity costs. Using the base/extra-capacity method to allocate costs, the
corresponding unit costs used to determine a PIF include all ofthe fire protection costs.
For the purposes of this study, fire protection infrastructure is captured in the base/extra-
capacityfunctional cost allocations.
3.0 Development of PIF Assessment Schedules
Red Oak calculated PIFs using two methods:
• Regression analysis
• Water budget rate structure
The regression analysis analyzed different variables to estimate indoor and outdoor
usage; usage by meter size and building square footage, and pervious area.
31 Regression Analysis
Red Oak used data from the Boulder County Assessor Office and 2004 and 2005 City
billing data to analyze parameters that best describe the potential demand a new
connector can place on the water system. The characteristics analyzed included:
Analysis of Plant Investment Fee Characteristics Page 7
Customer Type
Parameter (variables) Analysis~a~ Source Data
Indoor usage
Bedrooms Residential Assessor records
Bathrooms Residential Assessor records
Building square feet Residential, Nonresidential Assessor records
Outdoor usage
Pervious area Residential, Nonresidential City billing records
Other
Meter Size Nonresidential City billing records
(a) Residential includes: single family and multifamily
Nonresidential includes: commercial, industrial, and institutional
Data were not available for fixture units. As fixture units are currently used by the City
to size water meters, it was determined that the meter size for these accounts is a proxy
for fixture units.
A regression analysis assists in determining usage patterns based on a selection of usage
parameters. Red Oak performed regression analysis for single family, multifamily,
commercial, and irrigation. For example, to estimate single family indoor usage, Red
Oak developed regression equations varying the combination ofthe independent
variables; bedrooms, bathrooms, and building square footage. Changes to the
independent variables result in a change in the dependent variable or in this case, indoor
usage. As an example, below are the seven combinations ofthe independent variables
used to estimate indoor usage for single family and multifamily residential:
• Bedrooms, bathrooms, building square feet
• Bedrooms
• Bathrooms
• Building square feet
• Bedrooms, bathrooms
• Bathrooms, building square feet
• Bedrooms, building square feet
Single family indoor usage and multifamily indoor usage were estimated with these seven
equations. Separate regression equations were developed for single family and
multifamily outdoor usage. Commercial usage was estimated based on meter size and
building square footage. The irrigation regression analysis considered pervious area.
3.2 Water Budget Rate Structure
Red Oak calculated PIFs using the City's water budget rate structure. The water budget
PIF calculation is based on the annual budget allotment by class and an estimated
Analysis of Plant Investment Fee Characteristics Page 8
customer peak demand. The estimated peak demand is based on a customer's maximum
monthly budget allotment.
Red Oak compared the total budget for the peak demand month to the water treatment
plant capacity to determine if the total budgets exceeded the peak capacity. The July
budget, based on 2007 data, represents the largest budget for any month. The total July
budget is 37.05 mgd. Peak day capacity at the plant is approximately 53 mgd. The total
July budget is sufficiently below the peak day capacity for the water treatment plant.
Peak Demand Calculation
The City's peak day water production typically occurs in June or July. In a similar
manner, the single family, multifamily, and irrigation water budget rate structures
allocate the most usage in June and July. Red Oak reviewed with Staffthe most
appropriate system design parameter to link the unit cost of peak facilities to the peak
month budget allotment. Red Oak determined that using the system average day of the
peak month to calculate the peak facilities unit costs. This unit cost can then be applied
to a new customer's average day of peak budget month demand.
A new commercial customer's PIF can be based on AMU. Since AMU does not
distinguish between indoor and outdoor usage, the new commercial customer will need to
provide (or the City will need to estimate) the peak month usage. This will be used to
calculate the peak related PIF costs for a commercial customer.
The water budget allotment structure can also be applied to the wastewater PIF. The
indoor allotment for single family and multifamily can be used to calculate the
wastewater PIF. The commercial AMU can be used to determine the wastewater PIF.
4.0 PIF Calculation Comparison
For comparison purposes, Red Oak developed graphs to compare the range of PIFs that
result with different calculation and assessment approaches. PIFs for each customer
example for each class are presented in Appendix A. Compared PIFs are included for the
following approaches:
• Existing structure
• Regression analysis
• Water budget calculations
41 Existing PIF Comparison
Red Oak included a comparison of the existing PIF schedule to proposed PIFs. The
existing PIFs are calculated in three ways; however, the current (2008) structure is
maintained:
• 2008 adopted PIF
• 2008 PIF updated for current replacement costs and capacity valuations.
Analysis of Plant Investment Fee Characteristics Page 9
The existing PIF is based on an equivalent residential unit. For comparison purposes,
Red Oak used the `average' residential PIF and the base nonresidential PIF. In these
cases, the values for the residential and commercial PIFs are the same.
4.2 Single Family

Single family wastewater PIFs are calculated using only the indoor regression analysis
and the indoor component of the water budget rate structure. The strength components
are assumed to be 250 milligrams per liter BOD, 250 mg/1 TSS, and 15 mg/1 TN.

The wastewater PIFs are calculated using only the indoor regression analysis and the
indoor component of the water budget rate structure. The strength components are
assumed to be 250 milligrams per liter BOD, 250 mg/1 TSS, and 15 mg/1 TN.
4.4 Commercial
The commercial regression is based on meter size and building square footage. The
water budget is based on average monthly usage (AMU). This value is similar to the
results provided by the regression analysis. The characteristics of the two example
commercial customers are as follows:

Red Oak used the same water demands for the regression calculations and the water
budget calculations. This provides a means of comparing the difference in fees resulting
from the two methodologies. The wastewater flows assigned to each commercial
customer are based on actual water demand. The strength components are assumed to be
250 milligrams per liter BOD, 250 mg/1 TSS, and 15 mg/1 TN.

4.6 Stormwater PIF Calculations
The stormwater PIF calculation detailed in appendix B shows the unit cost per square
foot of impervious area Red Oak converted the single family residential and multifamily
customers' fees to be assessed on the number of units. Data on the number of single
family and multifamily units were used to estimate an average impervious area per unit.
All nonresidential customers are assessed a unit cost per square foot of impervious area
The stormwater PIF is $1.57 per square foot.
5.0 Matrix Evaluation
To assist in the recommendation and selection of the most appropriate PIF characteristics
for the City, a matrix was created for each system. The matrix included the City's goals
and objectives which included equity, implementation, and financial categories. The
following is a brief description of each criterion used in the matrix.
• Recover Proportionate Share of Capacity in Facilities. Use of the PIF
characteristic should result in a proportionate estimate of the capacity required of
the facilities. This criterion measures the connection between the demand on the
system and the capacity required in the facilities.
• Intraclass Equity. This type of equity recognizes that alternative PIF
characteristics will vary in their ability to describe demands on the City's systems
to customers equitably within the same customer class.
• Interclass Equity. This type of equity assures that the PIF characteristics describe
the demands on the City's systems across customer classes proportionately to
each class.
• Intergenerational Equity. This type of equity puts new customers on an equal
footing with existing customers. It ensures that the calculated PIF does not
subsidize growth nor does it provide a subsidy to existing customers.
• Legally Defensible The characteristic used in the PIF must comply with the rules
and regulations of the City and with Colorado State Statutes.
• Customer Understanding. The public's ability to understand the use of a
characteristic is imperative to successful implementation of a PIF. Since the City
is seeking to pioneer a PIF more predictive of actual use, a certain level of
complexity may be seen as an opportunity to educate its customers.
• Administrative Effort The amount of administrative effort required to
implement a new PIF can vary greatly among alternatives. Additional data
collection needs, changes to the billing system, additional staff needs and training,
Analysis of Plant Investment Fee Characteristics Page 12
and consistency with the philosophies of the City's other utilities are a few
examples of how administrative effort among alternatives can differ.
• LinkPlFs to Water Budgets. This criterion connects the PIF and characteristics
used to determine the PIF to the City's water budget-based rate design. The
connection accomplishes the desire to require the new connection's PIF to be
assessed in a similar manner to its monthly water rates.
• Match PIFs to Actual Demand A PIF characteristic that most closely matches
the total PIF paid to the actual demand placed on the system scores highest. This
ensures that the demands estimated using the particular characteristic are close to
what the account will require of the facilities.
• Match PIFs to Actual Costs. A PIF characteristic that results in a total PIF paid
that matches the actual cost ofthe impact of a new connection on the facilities
scores highest for this criterion. What a new connection pays in its PIF should
most closely reflect the cost of the City's facilities.
• City's Affordability and Sustainability Goals. This criterion connects the PIF
calculation to the City's goals for ensuring affordable and sustainable service to
its customers. A characteristic that ranks highest for this criterion is one that most
closely matches the City's desire to encourage water conservation and lessen its
impact on water resources.
51 Criteria Weighting
Each of the above criteria was assigned a weight according to the importance on a scale
of 1 to 10, 10 being the most important to the City. Red Oak applied its weightings based
on previous meetings and discussions with City Staff. The weighting and scoring of
criteria and characteristics is a highly subjective process. The City should review the
analysis to determine if it is acceptable; however, this exercise is intended to assist the
City and Stakeholders in evaluating the many PIF characteristics in a quantitative
manner. It is not intended to be exact.
5.2 Assessment Characteristic Scoring
Each PIF characteristic was assigned a score based on Red Oak's assessment of how well
that characteristic satisfied the criterion. The scoring was on a scale of 1 to 10; 10 being
a score assigned if the characteristic satisfied the criterion to a high degree. Again, this
scoring is subjective and was completed using professional judgment.
By weighting each score, each PIF characteristic's total score was calculated and ranked
among the characteristics. The ranking provides a general guideline for determining
which characteristics may be most appropriate for determining a new customer's PIF.

Analysis of Plant Investment Fee Characteristics Page 13
5.3 Preliminary Recommendations
Based on the weighted scoring of each PIF characteristic, Red Oak proposes that Staff
and the Stakeholder committee consider applying the water budget-based PIF for single
family residential, multifamily, commercial and irrigation water PIFs. We recommend
the same for wastewater PIFs.
The water budget approach is consistent with the City's water rate design. It improves
the equity among customers and within a customer class by requiring new customers to
pay for the water that is predicted they will need. It also satisfies intergenerational equity
by eliminating subsidies among customers new customers will pay for their anticipated
water use just as existing customers are required to pay for their current water use.
In summary, the water budget approach to assessing PIFs:
• Meets the original objectives of the PIF study
• Matches the purchased capacity in the system with a customer's budgeted amount
• Recognizes that customers place peak demands on the system, regardless of the
peaking factor applied to predict demand
For commercial customers, the current approach to determining water budgets is under
review by the City. The current approach calculates a customer's average monthly water
use as its budget. Alternative approaches are an historical monthly use based on a three-
year average for that month and an indoor/outdoor budget calculation similar to single
family residential. While Red Oak encourages the application of the water budget
approach to assessing wastewater PIFs, the approach should be updated if the City
implements an alternate methodology for calculating commercial customers' PIFs.
For stormwater PIFs, Red Oak supports the approach of determining the PIF using a
square foot basis for all customers, or a per unit basis for single family and multifamily
residential. All other customers would be based on a per square foot basis.

For items designed to meet average day demands, assign the cost to base:
Base 100%
For items designed to meet maximum day demands, assign the cost to base and max day:
Base 37.7% =Avg Day Demand/Max Day Demand
Max Day 62.3% =(Max Day -Avg Day) / Max Day Demand
For items designed to meet maximum hour demands, assign the cost to base,
max day, and max hour:
Base 22.2% =Avg Day Demand / Max Hour Demand
Max Day 36.7% =(Max Day -Avg Day) / Max Hour Demand
Max Hour 41.1 % =(Max Hour -Max Day) / Max Hour Demand
