RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the Mountain House Community Services District (MHCSD) Board of

Directors (Board) approve the contract for the Cost Certification Audit up to the amount of

$335,270 and authorize the General Manager to negotiate and execute the final contract with

Harris and Associates (Harris) with an optional contract extension for an additional 2 years up to

$500,000 for future cost certification services.

BACKGROUND:

The Mountain House Community Services District issued a Request for Proposals for

Professional Construction and Other Related Cost Certification Audit Services on August 28,

2018, related to Transportation Impact Fee (TIF), Community Facility Fee (CFF) and Utility

projects implemented by MHD and MHI in Mountain House. Three firms were invited to submit

proposal for these services. These firms were: NV5, SNG Associates (SNG), and Harris &

Associates. Background information was shared with all three firms and each firm was invited to

schedule a time to review the background information and to ask questions regarding the goals

and requirements for the project. Responses to all questions were provided to all proposers.

MHCSD received two proposals by the due date, September 21, 2018, from SNG and Harris;

NV5 submitted a letter declining to submit a proposal due to their workload issues.

MHCSD staff evaluated the two proposals by the evaluation committee, which was comprised of

the Director of Public Works, the Deputy Director of Public Works and an Engineer V. The

committee ranked the two firms based on the selection criteria and unanimously selected Harris

& Associates, based on both Qualifications (80%) and Cost (20%) selection criteria.

Staff negotiated the cost with Harris, which originally was $360,310. Based on negotiation,

Harris reduced their original fee estimate by $25,040 to $330,270.

The RFP also provides a provision to extend the contract at the District’s discretion, for two (2)

additional years, if required for future utility TIF and CFF projects cost certification. For these

services, Harris can provide these services on a time and materials basis, based on the hourly

rates shown in the proposal, subject to CPI escalation for each year after December 31, 2019, up

to December 31, 2021.

Both MHD and MHI have reviewed the final proposal and fee estimates and have agreed to

reimburse CSD for the full amount of the audit certification process, based on their respective

project certification project list.

DISCUSSION:

Mountain House Developers (MHD) has entered into a Master Acquisition and Reimbursement

Agreement (MARA) as well as Project Acquisition Agreements (PAA) for Utilities and Project

Reimbursement Agreements (PRA) for TIF and CFF facilities. For the TIF and CFF facilities,

the developers may receive a combination of reimbursement and credits. MHCSD is responsible

for verifying the accuracy of the submitted costs and determining the maximum allowable

reimbursement under the CFF and TIF programs. For the wet utilities, the Developers receives

reimbursement through the pledged revenue components funded through property owners’ utility

bills.

Properly certifying the costs of projects is important for the success of the TIF and CFF

programs. These certified costs affect the CFF and TIF fee programs as well as the annexation

fee calculated for annexing properties. In addition, this process determines the reimbursements

that each Developer receives and is integral in setting future fees.

For the current project, the following projects will be included in the cost certification process.

Cost Certification Audit Services Proposal

Dear Mr. Anthony Docto:

Harris & Associates (Harris) has been honored to be involved with the establishment and growth of Mountain House over the past 17 years. Harris’ professional services, provided both in the field and office, have been an integral part of completing new infrastructure in Mountain House. During our partnership working with the Mountain House Community Services District (District) on these projects, Harris has developed a trusted advisor relationship supporting the District. We are excited to share our success stories on those and similar projects with you and utilize our experience to identify opportuni-ties to create a streamlined and well documented cost certification program.

Mountain House is a master planned community whereby master developers have built and continue to build the required infrastructure. The District is responsible for certifying the costs for accuracy and eligibility for developer reimbursement and credits. Properly reviewing and documenting the cost certification process is essential in the long term success of the programs. The District has recently received $60 million in reimbursement requests and must certify the costs within 6 months to meet the Shea Annexation Fee timelines. The Harris team believes itself to be best qualified and will bring you the following key advantages:

Commitment to Schedule. Harris understand the Districts need for all project audits to be completed within 4-months of the notice to proceed. The Harris team has the bench strength and in-house technical expertise to adapt to changing workloads. This means reimbursement submittals will be reviewed in compliance with the timeline specified. Harris has developed many tools and processes that will minimize not only the time and effort required by our staff to review each submittal, but also the time and energy of the District staff, freeing you to focus on more pressing issues. We will draw upon the experience of our on-site construction management staff as well as our pavement management staff to assist in field review of the improvements.

Public Finance Experts. Harris & Associates (Harris) has been in business for 43 years and has a staff of 217. Harris has provided acquisition audit and annual administration services to public agencies for more than 19 years, completing over $981 million in Reimbursement Audit reviews. Harris has successfully solved many different challenges in processing reimbursement requests. Harris will work with the project team to develop protocols and tools that increase efficiencies for all parties involved. These tools will provide real-time tracking, detailed documentation and timely approvals. This stream-lined process provide a transparent and documented trail of certified costs. This documentation is extremely important to be able to provide to future developers, Board members, and utility rate payers.

This Agreement shall be binding for 180 days from the date of submittal.

Sincerely, Harris & Associates, Inc.

3. FIRM QUALIFICATIONS AND EXPERIENCE

Harris has served public agencies since 1974. We have developed a robust program of services that offer our clients expertise and assistance in various realms of public finance, engineering services, program and construction management, and environmental services.

Harris combines the input of our engineers, financial specialists, and construction professionals to provide the District with a streamlined and cost certification audit process.

Harris’ public finance team provides our clients with a broad range of public financing and assessment engineering services. We have extensive experience in all aspects of financial engineering and are considered experts in our field; keeping up on court cases and presenting at seminars and conferences. Our unique combination of being engineers and financial experts allows us to provide a host of services to our clients without the need to team, resulting in the cost effective delivery of our services. In addition, we often serve as an extension of our clients’ staff, which allows us to see the long-term implementation of our programs.

Harris has developed policies, procedures, and tools to streamline the review process while providing thorough documentation and tracking. We have developed tracking spreadsheets, checklists, and guidelines that streamline the process. These tools help verify that all team members, including the developer and the District, are on the same page with submittal requirements and timelines.

Our team is commonly engaged in negotiating and developing acquisition agreements, development agreements, and policy and procedure manuals. This experience means we can anticipate the challenges and develop processes to prevent common pitfalls.

Harris’ team has been working with the District the last two years to update the CFF and TIF program and develop the Annexation Fee process. Harris has reviewed and is familiar with the many governing agreements and ordinances in Mountain House. In addition, our construction management staff are on sight and are intimately familiar with the status of the infrastructure in Mountain House.

MISSION BAY & HUNTERS POINT SHIPYARD REDEVELOPMENT REIMBURSEMENT AUDITSCity & County of San Francisco

Since 2002, Harris has been assisting the City of San Francisco in the acquisition of completed public improve-ments in two redevelopment areas, which to date total $479 million in public facilities.

Harris developed a project priority tracking list to track and monitor all outstanding reimbursement requests. This was used by all parties to track the status of outstanding items and to prioritize the processing of payment requests for facility acquisitions based upon MBDG’s priorities.

Our team worked with MBDG to develop protocols for the electronic submittal of reimbursement requests, which reduced the overall review time needed.

Mission Bay: This mixed-use brownfield redevelopment project is entitled for 6,000 residential units, a 500-room hotel, 280,000 SF of pedestrian-friendly retail space, 4.4 million SF of office and bio-tech lab space, a 57-acre UCSF biotech campus, and a 550-bed hospital.

To date, Harris has recommended the reimbursement/ acquisition of over $456 million in public infrastructure. These improvements were funded by two CFDs that were formed to finance much of the needed public infrastruc-ture. Project acquisitions are expected to continue until all infrastructure is completed. Reimbursement requests have included a wide variety of public infrastructure including roadways, wet and dry utilities, and parks as well as costs for design, environmental mitigation and freeway demolition.

Hunters Point Shipyard: Harris has provided Reimbursement Audit services for the City and County of San Francisco, which is working with a developer to redevelop the 490 acre site. The reimbursement of costs for public facilities is funded by $34 million in Mello-Roos CFD bonds. To date, over $23 million in reimbursement requests have been reviewed and approved.

Harris will review public improvement project costs, confirm eligibility, and that all requirements of the Acquisition Agreement and applicable codes are satisfied.

Because of Harris’ longtime involvement with the Acquisition Auditing of the City’s Mission Bay Development, the Treasure Island Development Authority (TIDA) and San Francisco Department of Public Works (SFDPW) turned to Harris’ financial experts to provide similar services for the Treasure Island/Yerba Buena Island Development. Harris’ services include advising on acquisition protocols, determining reimbursable expenses, reviewing reimbursement requests, and recommending developer reimbursement for the improvements to be acquired by the City. These improve-ments include, but are not limited to, parks and open space, transit equipment and facilities, new utilities, streets, public facilities, geotechnical improvements, and other public infrastructure. Harris is currently working on the Acquisition Audit Policy and Procedures Manual for the City and will begin review of the submittals once the bonds are sold.

6. PROJECT APPROACH

UnderstandingMountain House is a master planned community whereby master developers have built the infrastructure necessary to serve the current population of 20,000 and will continue to build infrastructure to serve the estimated 55,000 residents at build-out. The developers entered into Master Acquisition and Reimbursement Agreements (MARAs) as well as Project Acquisition Agreements (PAAs) for Utilities and Project Reimbursement Agreements (PRAs) for TIF and CFF facil-ities. For the TIF and CFF facilities, the developers receive a combination of reimbursements and credits. The Mountain House CSD is responsible for verifying the accuracy of the submitted costs and determining the maximum allowable reimbursement under these fee programs. For the wet utilities, the Developers receive reimbursement through the pledged revenue component funded through the property owners’ utility bills. It is critical to track the costs associated with Water, Sewer and Storm Drainage separately to main-tain the integrity of this program.

Properly certifying the costs are extremely important to the success of the program moving forward. These certified costs affect the CFF and TIF fee programs as well as the annexation fee program. Not having properly documented and implemented programs opens the District up to legal challenges and potentially costly lawsuits. In addition, this process determines the reimbursements that each Developer receives and is integral is setting future fees. Given the magnitude of the infrastructure costs, minor discrepancies could be costly for all parties involved.

Harris is familiar with these fee programs and the intricacies of the various agreements and will not have a learning curve in getting up to speed. We are currently updating the TIF and CFF fee programs and are familiar with the program limits and why accurately documenting cost certification is critical. Given the plan to prepare annual or bi-annual updates to the fee program, having one firm keeping track of all of the constructed and reimbursed facilities will stream-line the process for the District.

Harris has been involved in the annexation fee process and understands the factors driving the four month deadline. Harris is committed to working with the District and the Developers to streamline the cost certification process and meet these deadlines. Harris is used to working under tight deadlines for this type of work and we have a team of individuals who are available to begin review of the documents immediately.

Scope of WorkHarris has developed the scope of work based on our extensive experience performing similar tasks for agencies throughout California and Nevada. The Cost Certification will be done in such a way that all information will be clearly summarized and documented for future review. In addition, the relationship to the applicable program eligibility will be closely documented. Harris will maintain a tracking spreadsheet to assist in future updates of the fee program and for inclusion into the District’s cost reimbursement tracking spreadsheets.

TASK 1 – PROJECT ORIENTATION MEETING

Harris will meet with District staff to confirm the scope of work and refine the project schedule. Project objectives will be outlined and the certification process will be discussed in an effort to streamline the process.

Harris will review the project binders with District staff to discuss information about eligibility of cost items that can be applied to projects. Harris will also determine if the developer generally submitted the required information which includes:

• Invoices• Canceled Checks• Unconditional Lien Releases• Contracts• Change Orders• As-Builts

Based on the initial review, if the developer did not submit all of the categories of information listed above, Harris will prepare an Additional Information Request (AIR) and send to District staff to forward to the developers. This letter will summarize the additional information that will be required to begin a review of the project binder.

Within two weeks of the project orientation meeting, Harris will prepare a summary of the cost certification process, a letter requesting additional information from each developer, and a detailed schedule.

CONSENT ITEM 8.8 ATTACHMENT B

Harris & Associates, Inc. 6. Project Approach 12

TASK 2 –INITIAL COST REVIEW

Harris will review and summarize in an excel document all invoices, canceled checks, unconditional lien releases, contracts, and change orders to establish that all documen-tation has been received. This will facilitate segregating the costs into eligible and non-eligible costs as well as determining missing information. If information is missing, Harris will prepare an additional information request, requesting missing documentation. If no information is missing, Harris will move to Task 3.

TASK 3- ELIGIBILITY AND FIELD REVIEW

Eligibility Review. Once all information has been received, Harris will review the costs submitted for reimbursement against the contract and change order items and amounts to establish that no undocumented or ineligible costs were included in the request. Harris will also review the as-builts to compare against the submitted documents to determine the applicability. Eligible costs will be compared to the costs allowed in the CFF or TIF document, if applicable, to determine the maximum reimbursable cost.

Field Review. Harris staff will conduct field reviews to verify that the work being requested for reimbursement and shown on the plans has been constructed. Harris will also utilize historical Google Maps to assist in verifying that the project was completed by the requesting developer. Since much of this infrastructure was completed in the past, online maps may provide history that a field review cannot.

Technical Memorandum. Harris will draft a technical memorandum detailing any items that have been deemed ineligible for reimbursement, a summary of the verified amount, and a summary of any incomplete project components. This memo will be submitted to the District for review and Harris will hold a follow-up call to discuss if needed. Harris will finalize the Technical Memorandum and submit the final memo to District for distribution to the developer.

The developer will have an agreed upon amount of time to respond to this request with additional information that modifies the recommended amounts. A call can be held during this time to discuss if requested. If additional information is provided, Harris will incorporate that information into the cost certification process as necessary and begin on the Cost Certification Audit Report.

TASK 4 – PREPARE A COST CERTIFICATION AUDIT REPORT

Draft Cost Certification Audit Report. Harris will prepare a draft Cost Certification Audit Report that includes the following items:

• An executive summary• A summary of costs to be reimbursed and the applicable

program under which the reimbursement is authorized.• A description of the improvement being reimbursed

including location.• Project location map showing project limits • A summary of hard and soft costs • Item-by-item discussion of all disallowed costs.• A contract summary outlining the original price and

change orders (if any).• A summary of invoices, checks, and lien releases sepa-

rated by contract.• A discussion and summary of CFF/TIF eligibility, if

applicable.• Verification that each requested project has been

constructed.• A discussion regarding any incomplete portion.• A summary of correspondence related to the cost

certification

Harris will participate in a call with District staff if needed to review the draft audit report and answer any questions.

Final Cost Certification Audit Report. Harris will submit copies of the Final Cost Certification Report incorporating any revisions from the draft audit report to the District for each project.

TASK 5 – PROJECT MEETINGS

Harris will attend bi-weekly meetings with District staff to provide status updates, report on the findings of reimburse-ment eligibility for the projects under the CFF and TIF. Harris will maintain a status sheet noting the status of each binder, any items needing resolution, and an action item list.

In addition, Harris will attend either a call or meeting with the developer for each binder if determined necessary.

TASK 6 – PROJECT TRACKING SPREADSHEET

Harris will maintain an excel spreadsheet that summarizes the reimbursements being processed including location, amount, date, and governing program. For the TIF projects, Harris will also track on the detailed project cost spread-sheets, the items being reimbursed under each submittal. This will provide needed information to the District to be used in future fee updates as well as in reimbursement/credit tracking.

CONSENT ITEM 8.8 ATTACHMENT B

EXPECTATIONS OF DISTRICT STAFF

During the project orientation meeting, Harris will gather all binders and plans from the District’s office and transport to Harris’ office. If the CSD has plans or other documents that can be provided, Harris will work on-site with the District to obtain these, or Harris suggests as a means of eliminating staff and consultant time, we can request them directly from the developers as part of the Initial Additional Information Request.

District staff will be called upon to review each submittal prior to release to the development community. Harris can coordinate directly with delivery of the documents to the developer if desired, though the RFP stated that the District would handle this.

District staff will be asked to attend the biweekly meetings where Harris will provide a status report and discuss any decisions that need to be made. Harris knows that District staff are busy and have limited capacity to help with this project and will work to minimize your time involvement while keeping you informed of the status and key decisions.

PROPOSED TIMELINE FOR EACH COST CERTIFICATION AUDIT AND OVERALL TIMELINE

The following flow chart shows the proposed process to complete each cost certification binder. Due to the turnaround time from District Review and Developer review we anticipate the timeline for each to be 6 weeks. In order to meet the 4 month deadlines, this means that multiple projects will be in process at the same time and the process will overlap. We will need to set turnaround timelines for both District Staff and Developers to meet this timeline and those will be discussed and finalized at the project orientation meeting. There is also an opportunity to eliminate the technical memorandum stage and combine that with the either the initial cost review of the Cost Certification Audit report phase would could save additional time.

7. IDENTIFICATION OF ANTICIPATED POTENTIAL CONSTRUCTION AND RELATED COST AUDIT PROBLEMS

KEY CHALLENGESBased upon the experience of the Harris team in reviewing $981 million of public infrastructure construction expenses for reimbursement, we have outlined how we will draw upon our experience and expertise to respond to the challenges frequently seen on these projects.

SERVE AS A RESOURCE TO THE DISTRICT IN THE REVIEW AND INTERPRETATION OF THE OVERARCHING AGREEMENTS AND DOCUMENTS

Challenge: The ability to review, interpret, and apply the requirements of the MARA, PRAs, PAAs, CFF, TIF, and other documents, will be key in determining the eligibility of costs for reimbursement.

Approach: Harris’ team will draw upon over 19 years of experience and knowledge providing review of reimbursement requests for the acquisition of public improvements through the payment of public funds to private parties. Alison Bouley and Joel Nagamine have been working with the District for the last two years and are familiar with the agreements. We will assist the District in the interpretation and implementation of the agreements based upon our team’s experience and in-depth knowledge.

Proven Success: Our team has successfully interpreted and applied the requirements of acquisition agreements and other governing documents to recommend the payment of $981 million submitted for reimbursement on similar projects. We understand that the submittal and review of payment requests must be based upon the project-specific documents, as well as governing laws. We are familiar with Mountain House’s governing documents and understand how these cost certifications fit into the big picture. Our documentation will compare the submitted costs to the CFF and TIF, if appli-cable, and will also track the specific line items and location of the projects being reimbursed. Our team has successfully completed the review of more than 600 reimbursement submittals based upon the specific requirements of each project’s acquisition agreement and applicable laws. Harris’ recommended reimbursements have never been disputed by the funding authority or the developer.

DEVELOPMENT OF STREAMLINED REVIEW PROCESSES AND ADAPTABILITY TO CHALLENGES

Challenge: The ability to meet the four month timeline will require the development of streamlined processes for the review and verification of project costs and strict adherence to timelines. In addition, due to lag between the construction of many of these projects and the submittal of the documentation, we understand that some of the documentation may be missing or take time to produce.

Approach: While the District has proposed an approach for review and certification of the costs, we have drawn on our extensive past experience from similar projects, and have suggested opportunities to streamline the process. This includes completing an initial review of the binders within two weeks and requesting general categories of information that are missing, for example the MHI binders contained only invoices and checks and is not adequate to complete this process. Should information be unavailable, Harris will meet with District staff immediately upon notification by the developer and discuss potential acceptable approaches and solutions.

Harris’ team is committed to doing our part to meet the four month certification deadline. We will draw upon a team of experienced staff who are available for this project. Alison Bouley and Joel Nagamine have been working on the CFF, TIF and Annexation Fee programs for the last two years and are familiar with the overarching documents. This means that there is “no learning curve,” which reduces the time and costs for the review of reimbursement requests. In addition, we have construction management staff on site that we can draw upon to ask construction related questions and will utilize our pavement management staff located in Concord who are familiar with Mountain House to provide field review.

CONSENT ITEM 8.8 ATTACHMENT B

Harris & Associates, Inc. 7. Identification of Anticipated Potential Construction and Related Cost Audit Problems 17

Proven Success: Harris has demonstrated our ability to work in partnership with public agencies and developers under tight timelines for the review of reimbursement requests. Members of our project team have worked with the City of San Francisco on the review and approval of over $479 million in infrastructure improvements. Our team has been to able to complete our review of reimbursement requests within a 30-day period from the receipt of each submittal.

Harris will work with the District to develop processes that will minimize delays in the processing of cost certification. Our scope of work reflects these suggested changes.

CLARITY OF REIMBURSEMENT DETERMINATIONS

Challenge: Determining the eligibility for reimbursement on projects can sometimes be unclear, especially when the work was not clearly identified in the contract documents and invoices or when construction took place years in the past.

Approach: The project team’s ability to understand the work being done is often key to determining the eligibility of expenses for reimbursement. Harris will be able to call upon experienced engineers and on-site construction managers who are familiar with Mountain House to field review the improvements. Harris understands the importance of providing accurate and well documented cost certifications that are consistent with the governing documents.

Proven Success: Alison and Joel’s experience with the TIF and CFF program will allow them to accurately determine the eligibility of cost certification requests. They have recently been involved in updating the CFF and TIF program and have a deep understanding of the various governing documents and understands the importance of proper documenta-tion. She has developed a close working relationship with District staff and will capitalize on this relationship to complete this important project.

SUBJECT: PROPOSAL FOR PROFESSIONAL CONSTRUCTION AND OTHER RELATED COST CERTIFICATION AUDIT SERVICES

Dear Mr. Docto,

SNG & Associates, Inc. (SNG) is excited to present this Proposal for your consideration to provide professional construction and other related cost certification audit services to Mountain House Community Services District (District). We feel strongly that we can provide the District with a thorough and accurate cost certification services within the timelines specified by the District.

Since its establishment in 1999, SNG has provided professional engineering services to many local agencies in Northern California in adopting and managing master plans, specific plans, fee programs, finance plans, and in negotiation of reimbursement and development agreements. Our experience in managing large land development projects and Capital Improvement Programs will enable us to work seamlessly with District’s staff in certifying eligible Developer’s costs for reimbursements.

We are especially sensitive to the demands on the staff time due to limited staffing resources, and the importance of expedited completion of cost certification audit, and hence our goal would be to most effectively support agency staff’s efforts by proactively identifying the critical issues, by presenting solutions, and by maintaining effective communications.

SNG is proposing Mr. Nanda Gottiparthy, P.E., as the Project Manager and as the main point of contact for District staff. Mr. Gottiparthy will be supported by Mr. Dan Fitzgerald, P.E., Mr. Bruce Jacks, P.E., Mr. Michael O’Connor, P.E., Mr. Douglas Rodgers, Ms. Linda Moniz and engineering support staff. SNG Project Team members have provided services identical to the requirements identified in the Request for Proposal for many local agencies. For example, the project team members have provided support in impact fee adoption (AB 1600 analyses), administration of impact fee reimbursement agreements, benefit districts, and CFF/TIF implementation for Dublin, Tracy, Livingston, Patterson, Atwater, Hayward, Lodi, and Livermore.

Our team members have managed preparation of many master plans, capital improvement programs and fee programs and have a thorough understanding of private developments’ role and legal requirements relating to construction and financing of public facilities and improvements, benefit assessments and reimbursements.

Our success in providing highest quality of staff support services is demonstrated by the trust our long-term clients such as City of Dublin, City of Tracy, City of Brentwood, City of Livermore and City of Livingston have placed in us by contracting with us for many years. Due to our current involvement in providing staff support services to the District, close proximity of our office and staff members living in the area, we will be highly responsive to District’s requests. Our team is committed to completing the review of the documents in an expeditious manner to achieve District’s goals within stated timelines.

SNG has been assisting MHCSD staff in review of land development projects. Our current involvement with District staff and familiarity with major planned improvement projects such as Grant Line Road widening project will enable us to quickly begin work and coordinate efficiently with appropriate staff. In addition, SNG has worked with many engineering firms that are involved in projects in Mountain House in review of plans for other agencies. We have also worked extensively with lead staff of Harris & Associates involved in preparation of CFF/TIF documents. Our previous experience and relationships with staff and stakeholders will ensure successful completion of the reimbursement agreements and cost audits.

Mountain House has been transforming into a highly desirable community where families are looking to move for better quality of life, safe neighborhoods and schools. The innovative approach and the vision in funding and developing the infrastructure needed for a new community is evident in the extent and quality of public infrastructure the District has so far constructed. As you continue your efforts in updating the CFF/TIF fees and implementing the Reimbursement Program, SNG & Associates would welcome an opportunity to be a part of the team.

We thank you for the opportunity and look forward to presenting our qualifications in person. If selected, we will execute the District’s standard professional services contract with associated insurance requirements. This proposal is a firm and irrevocable offer of services for the stated period of time.

Should you have any questions or need additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me by phone or e-mail at [email protected].

Community Facilities Fees

The Community Facilities Fee (CFF) adopted by the San Joaquin Board of Supervisors on August 22, 2000, finances the construction of community facilities required to implement the Master Plan facilities construction including Park Facilities, Library Facilities, and Public Safety and Administration Facilities. In January 2003, the CFF Fees were updated to December 2002 costs. The District applies an automatic ENR update each year to the adopted fees.

Developers may receive credit against the CFF or reimbursement for facilities they construct up to the amount of the estimated cost in the CFF document (adjusted by ENR) or their actual cost, whichever is less. The Developers are required to submit their construction documents and go through a cost certification process by the MHCSD in order to obtain reimbursements through the Developer Reimbursement program.

The Developers shall not be entitled to a credit or reimbursement that exceeds the cost of the facility in the CFF, escalated by ENR, to the date of acceptance of the facility. Reimbursement from the CFF for the facilities identified in the CFF Technical Report cost estimates will be available to the extent that funds are collected and available in the TIF fund balance; no money from the General Fund or other MHCSD funds may be used to reimburse the Developer. Typically,

temporary improvements or facilities are not eligible for reimbursements or fee credits, unless specifically approved by the District.

Based on the report prepared by Harris & Associates, as of December 31, 2017, the credit balance for Park Facilities is $1,573,101 and $75,790 for Public Safety and Administration Facilities. There is no credit balance for Library Facilities. The fund balance for Park Facilities is $11,563,124, negative $187,755 for Library Facilities, and $3,894,824 for the Public Safety and Administration Facilities.

Transportation Improvement Fee

The Transportation Improvement Fee (TIF) for the Mountain House Community was adopted on April 11, 2000. The TIF finances the construction of transportation improvements within the community as well as the fair share of transportation obligations in other jurisdictions that are required to implement the Mountain House Master Plan. This includes arterial and collector roadways, transit equipment, transit facilities, roadway landscaping, street lighting, street signage, sound walls, signalization, medians, and bridges. The fees also fund the Mountain House Community Service District (CSD) share of regional roadways both within and outside of the CSD Sphere of Influence.

In January 2003, the CSD updated the TIF Technical Report (2003 TIF) based on the Engineering News Record 20-City Construction Cost Index (ENR), new construction costs, and changes in design standards. The CSD has applied an automatic ENR update each year.

The TIF is used primarily as a reimbursement mechanism for Developers who fund the construction of the specified transportation improvements. Developers may receive credit against the TIF or reimbursement for facilities they construct up to the amount of the estimated costs in the TIF document, adjusted by ENR, or their actual cost, whichever is less. The Developers are required to submit their construction cost documents and go through a cost certification process by the CSD prior to getting reimbursement through the Developer Reimbursement Program.

Based on the report prepared by Harris & Associates, as of December 31, 2017 the TIF credit balance is $55,505,587. The projected TIF fund balance is $1,965,573.

Over the past year or so, MHCSD has engaged in a comprehensive analysis of the Community Facilities Fee (CFF) and the Transportation Improvement Fee (TIF). The goal of the analysis was to review, and refine as necessary, the costs of implementation of the CFF and TIF in compliance with the applicable ordinances, resolutions, technical reports and state law. At the September 12, 2018 Board of Directors meeting, the Board heard recommendations for fee update.

SNG staff will review the Municipal Code, Master Plan, Public Facilities Financing Plan and Specific Plans in applying the general policies mentioned above to determination of eligible costs for reimbursements.

Approach Project Approach

As indicated above, SNG is committed to providing four senior engineers to lead the effort in gathering the information, field reviews, cost reviews, preparation of audit report/technical memorandum for each project. Based on the type, Developer, geographical location and other criteria, the Project Manager will assign groups of projects to each of the senior engineers. This approach will enable us to begin work on all projects assigned at the same time. The segmentation and distribution of projects among the senior engineers will allow us to complete tasks in an expeditious manner. The Project Manager will make sure that any directives and policy matter clarifications obtained from the District for one project will be conveyed to all SNG team members for consistency and efficient use of the District’s staff’s time.

Depending on the complexity and availability of information, duration of each project may vary. Sometimes, a smaller project may take longer time to finalize if the Developer is non-responsive, or some critical element of the work needs to be verified or clarified by the District staff. It will be the responsibility of SNG’s Project Manager and Senior Engineers to plan their schedules and keep the projects moving at all times. The goal of SNG’s team would be to complete all projects within the four months duration as required in the RFP. Our Senior Engineers have managed complex projects involving numerous agencies, Developers, contractors, engineers and other stakeholders. Their coordination and management skills will enable them to prioritize and efficiently complete tasks.

In order to more efficiently address questions or obtain feedback on policy matters from the District, the Senior Engineers will present the items that need District staff’s attention in groups and try to obtain feedback at the bi-weekly meetings. E-mails will be used to provide summarized information with suggestions/recommendations by SNG to assist staff in reviewing the issues without having to spend much time going over the documents or plans.

The Project Manager, Senior Engineer(s) and Financial Analyst will attend the bi-weekly meetings with District staff and Developers. These meetings will initially focus on the applicable adopted documents such as master plans, finance plans, capital improvement program, fees collected, accounts information, reimbursement/ development agreements, adopted policies and criteria to be applied to the process of cost certification.

Subsequent meetings will provide status on each project, discuss missing or inadequate information, approach to resolving issues in fair, defensible and expedient way. Ms. Linda Moniz will prepare meeting agenda, minutes, action items and critical path items and distribute the document to staff every week.

Task 1 – Initial Kick-off Meeting

Upon issuance of Notice-to-proceed, the Project Manager will set up the Initial kick-off Meeting with District staff. The Project Manager, Senior Engineers and Financial Analyst from SNG will attend the meeting and review the available binders for the projects. The meeting will focus on confirming the scope of work, priorities, project approach, establish clear lines of communication, establish schedule for bi-weekly meetings, obtain documents that will form basis of cost certification, and clarify policies applicable to eligible reimbursements. The information relating to adopted CIPs, budgets, program funding, fees collected, available reimbursements, account information etc. will be gathered.

SNG staff understands that all the backup documentation may not be readily available; the Project Manager will assign SNG staff to spend time at the District office to retrieve maps, plans, as-builts, financial data etc. Because of our extensive experience in working on land development and CIP projects, our staff will be proactive in identifying sources of information such as development Conditions of Approval, agreements, resolutions etc. to fill in the missing information. SNG staff’s goal would be to minimize District staff’s time in gathering of the data and documents.

Once the basic information and binders are made available, SNG staff will prepare technical memorandum listing any additional documents, plans, maps and calculations that will need to be acquired from the Developer. SNG staff will prepare letters requesting information for the District staff to readily send them out to the Developers.

While the information requested is being compiled by Developer or District staff, the project team members will initiate review of available documents, prepare exhibits, spreadsheets and formats for detailed Technical memorandums to be prepared for each project. Mr. Doug Rodgers and Ms. Linda Moniz will spend time at the District office gathering and transmitting information to senior engineers.

Task 2 - Field Review:

It will be mandatory for the team members to visit each project site to confirm existing field conditions, to identify any discrepancies between submitted requests for reimbursements and completed improvements. SNG staff will coordinate with project inspectors for field changes, change orders etc. that may not have been reflected on the improvement plans. Staff records relevant field conditions with pictures and field notes to assist during cost certification audit, and to be included in the final documentation.

Our senior engineers have strong construction management backgrounds, and hence will be able to quickly identify issues and propose efficient ways to resolve discrepancies and identify solutions.

Task 3 – Reimbursement Cost Review:

With each of the senior engineer’s experience of 20-plus years, and a strong support team, we believe that our team is most suited to undertake this project and also commit to complete the tasks within the specified duration of four months.

SNG team will proactively seek documents and supporting information such as invoices, change order justification, payment records and other documents from the Developer. The information received will be recorded, and appropriate exhibits and attachments to the technical reports will be prepared. The technical memorandums will clearly describe the items eligible for reimbursements, the basis of determination of quantities and final costs. Any items from the request for reimbursements that are not eligible for reimbursement will be clearly noted along with reasons for such determination.

The submitted expenditures and payment records will be closely scrutinized to ensure compliance with the reimbursement policies. For example, review will focus on any line items that may be listed differently from the cost estimate line items within the program such as cost of dewatering, erosion control measures, temporary stockpiling of materials, profit and overhead items etc.

The description of items, spreadsheets, exhibits and attachments to the technical memorandum will present the complete analysis in sufficient detail for ease of reference by engineering and finance departments. SNG’s Financial Analyst will identify proper account numbers and descriptions based on input from Finance staff.

SNG staff will coordinate its work with appropriate District personnel to obtain information relating to the Capital Improvement Program, adopted fee structure, listing of infrastructure funded by the CFF/TIF fee program, fee payments received from Developers from Finance records, available fund balances, and applicable policy documents relating to reimbursements. SNG staff will compare the cost of eligible reimbursements to available funding and discuss discrepancies or issues with District staff.

Because of our on-going and recent experience with City of Dublin, City of Tracy, City of Patterson, City of Lodi and others in managing the CFF/TIF reimbursement programs with complex fee credit and reimbursement procedures, we can readily generate reports and track comments and directives for a consistent and fair application of policies.

SNG staff will attend meetings with the Developers to help resolve issues that may arise from the audit. SNG staff has extensive experience in resolving matters related to land development and construction

management. SNG staff is skilled in presenting the issues and negotiating solutions with Developers with primary goal of achieving District’s goals, and fair and consistent application of reimbursement policies.

An example of a recently completed reimbursement agreement for a large commercial development consisting of Walmart as anchor store in Lodi involved complex analysis of nexus and fair share cost allocation between benefiting properties which included commercial and residential developments. Due to multiple owners, contractors, CIP projects for roadways and regional storm drainage basins etc., and lapse of several years after the improvements have been constructed, SNG staff worked closely with City staff and the Developers to resolve many concerns.

Task 4 – Prepare an Audit Report

Upon thorough review of documents for reimbursement requests, SNG staff will prepare a Technical Memorandum. The memorandum will consist of clear and concise description of scope of improvements, basis of evaluation of eligible reimbursements, verification of costs using contracts, invoices, payment records and other supporting documents, spreadsheets, exhibits and attachments.

SNG staff has prepared many technical memorandums that have been used in establishing benefit districts, reimbursement agreements and fee calculations and CFF/TIF program management. A draft of the memorandum will be presented to staff for input, and after all comments are addressed, a final memorandum will be issued.

Task 5 – Project Meetings

In addition to bi-weekly meetings with District staff, SNG’s Project Manager and Senior Engineers will attend meetings as necessary to present and discuss reimbursement costs and approach to determination of eligible costs for reimbursements. The project team will coordinate receipt of information and additional documentation when needed to properly document eligibility.

We will prepare meeting agenda, conduct meetings as required by the District, follow-up with meeting notes and action items distribution. Again, our goal throughout the project will be to minimize the time burden on District staff. Meetings will be set up only when required; we strive to resolve issues and coordinate tasks using e-mails and phone calls to the extent possible.

Anticipated Potential Cost Audit Problems

In our experience, the most common potential problem in performing audits is incomplete information submitted by the Developers. Sometimes due to the time lapse between the time the construction is completed to the time of review of reimbursement request or due to poor records, the request and back-up documentation for payments, or change order process and tracking of additional costs, or lien releases may be incomplete. SNG staff has worked on several reimbursement requests that fall in this category. Best efforts will be put into obtaining the most documentation feasible from the Developers, and in cases when it is not possible to obtain certain information, SNG will suggest alternative means of coming up with a reasonable and defensible cost will be discussed with the District. SNG staff will ensure compliance with District procedures and policies and document the methods of determination of such cost items.

Another issue we deal with routinely on reimbursement requests is the differences in private Developer’s bid items and program line items of work. For example, the private contractors may bid items of work related to pipe installation (such as mobilization, dewatering, traffic control or erosion control measures) separately or have different contractors providing such services. In such occurrences, the reviewer will need to glean items of work that qualify together for items of work and separate ineligible costs (such as temporary or unrelated costs).

Sometimes there may be more than one Developer completing a particular improvement – for example, two sides of an arterial street. In such cases, the claims may overlap or interim improvements such as temporary fencing, paving, shoulders, striping etc. may be included in the submitted cost items. SNG will prepare accurate quantity take-offs supported by exhibits to clearly demonstrate eligible and ineligible items in the report.

There may be instances that the Developer presents costs in excess of program costs with supporting documentation. Developers may place claims for additional costs based on differing field conditions than assumed in program costs (such as groundwater pumping, major utility conflicts), or requests for changes directed by District staff or other reasons. In such case, SNG staff will review the history and documents to determine the validity of claims and recommend action. SNG staff will consult as needed with District staff to resolve some issues.

Based on our experience, majority of the issues that arise will be resolved by the Project Manager and Senior Engineer with information updates provided to District staff on a regular basis as the issues are being resolved.
