1 TERMS OF REFERENCE FOR CONSULTING SERVICES FOR A STORMWATER FUNDING STUDY PROJECT OVERVIEW The City of Guelph (City) wishes to retain a consulting engineering firm to complete a Stormwater Funding Study. The purpose of the study is to determine a sustainable funding mechanism for the City in order to support existing and future stormwater management and drainage needs as well as provide a secure funding source for the long term security and protection of the City s water resources. BACKGROUND In 2011, the City completed a Stormwater Management Master Plan which developed a long-term plan for the safe and effective management of stormwater runoff from urban areas while improving the ecosystem health and ecological sustainability of the Eramosa and Speed Rivers and their tributaries. The master plan integrated aspects of flood control, groundwater and surface water quality, natural environment and system drainage issues into a cohesive City-wide strategy. Due to the significant costs to implement drainage system upgrades recommended in the Master Plan, it was recommended that the City initiate a study to investigate alternative funding mechanisms including the potential for a Stormwater User Pay Rate or Utility Fee. Also in 2012, the City completed a study entitled Sustainable Infrastructure Report which quantified the full life cycle costs to sustain the City s water, wastewater, stormwater and transportation systems in perpetuity. The projected costs of operating, maintaining, and replacing the system components over the next 100 years were compared to the City s current budget in order to quantify the magnitude of the funding deficit or surplus. With respect to the stormwater system assets, the study concluded that the existing budget is significantly inadequate to sustainably maintain the system. The study recommended that the City conduct a formal review of its stormwater related funding sources and investigate the appropriateness of establishing a dedicated stormwater funding source. The City currently owns and operates an integrated stormwater system consisting of a conveyance system that includes pipes, maintenance holes and inlet structures. In addition, the City operates and maintains a variety of storm water facilities (channels, oil grit separators, and ponds). The construction of this system dates back to the early 1900s and consistently has been augmented over the years. 1
2 The City inventory includes information on approximately 457 km of city-owned storm sewers, 10 km of channels (concrete and natural), 7,250 city-owned maintenance holes, 9,565 city-owned single catch basins and 1,600 city-owned double catchbasins, 134 city-owned oil-grit separators and 110 storm water retention ponds. The total asset value of the stormwater system is approximately $506 million with an annual operation and maintenance expenditure of approximately $750,000. The current deferred capital backlog of needs for the linear portion of the stormwater system is approximately $25 Million. The estimated equivalent annual cost for the stormwater system is $6.4 Million. The 2012 budget for stormwater was $2.6 M for rehabilitation, replacement and upgrade / expansion projects. In order to cover the projected cost of $6.4 M for maintaining, repairing, replacing and upgrading / expanding the storm system, the budget would have to be increased by approximately 140%. The Stormwater Management Master Plan identified 25 priority projects to be completed in the first ten year for a total estimated cost of $15.6 million in order to bring the existing storm drainage system to design levels. The estimated total cost of remaining long term stormwater management projects for implementation beyond 2021 was $45.7 million. PROJECT GOALS & OBJECTIVES The purpose of the study is to determine a sustainable funding mechanism for the City in order to support existing and future stormwater management and drainage needs as well as provide a secure funding source for the long term security and protection of the City s water resources. SCOPE OF WORK The tasks associated with the completion of the Stormwater Funding Study are listed below. They have been grouped into main headings each representing decision points or areas of similar types of tasks. TASK 1 RESEARCH AND DATA COLLECTION 1. Assess the City s existing stormwater management programs, operations and maintenance practices, inventory, asset management, on-going monitoring, capital and operational budgeting and other related expenditures. 2
3 2. Utilize Geographic Information System (GIS) parcel fabric and aerial photography (existing and future land use, natural features and ecology, impervious and pervious surfaces), infrastructure inventory, master plans, studies and reports to facilitate assessment of the City s drainage and stormwater management needs. 3. Benchmark the City s stormwater management programs against those of other similar municipalities in Ontario, including levels of service, expenditures and funding mechanisms. TASK 2 LEVELS OF SERVICE AND FUNDING OPTIONS 1. Develop and evaluate various stormwater management program options the City could implement, based on increasing levels of service from current status to a full sustainable program that addresses current and future financial and regulatory demands. 2. Determine a preferred level of service and programs based on evaluation of level of service against a set of criteria which includes social acceptance, financial viability and defensibility. 3. Undertake a review of funding and revenue collection options that have been used to support similar municipal stormwater management programs and evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of each in relation to the City s needs and organizational structure based on established evaluation criteria and the levels of service previously determined. 4. Determine the appropriate funding sources and assess the potential impacts of each alternative funding source. TASK 3 RECOMMENDED PROGRAM AND FUNDING STRATEGY 1. Recommend a stormwater management program for the City to implement that will meet the desired levels of service, targets for compliance with regulations and guidelines, and other future pressures. 3
4 2. Present stormwater financing funding options and recommend the preferred option that offers a fair and equitable method for allocating the costs of the recommended stormwater management program. 3. Develop and evaluate several scenarios and preliminary financing structures for the preferred funding option. All available spatial information and data attributes, such as tax assessment data and GIS information, will be provided by the City for the purposes of this study in order to conduct statistical parcel analysis. 4. Develop a strategy to proceed with the implementation phase of the Stormwater Funding Study including specific tasks, schedule and goals that will inform decisions based on equity and fairness, full cost recovery, efficiency, practicality and environmental soundness. 5. Prepare an implementation plan based on the preferred funding source and rate structure including a discussion on the applicability and eligibility with respect to stormwater credits. TASK 4 COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND REPORTING Community engagement and communication will be crucial to the success of this study. Parallel to the above activities, the consultant shall undertake the following in order to seek input and support the above tasks. It is expected that community engagement and communications activities will be completed in collaboration with the City s Corporate Communications department and Community Engagement department, as well as in accordance with the City s Community Engagement Framework, Corporate Identity Guidelines and House Style Guidelines. 1.
