METHOD OF PAYMENT AND RELATED SERVICES
November 11, 1991
This is an exhibit attached to and made a part of the Agreement dated
, 1991, between the CITY OF BOYNTON BEACH (OWNER) and CAMP
DRESSER & McKEE INC. (ENGINEER) for professional services.
PARAGRAPH 1. The Basic Services of ENGINEER as described in Section 1 of
said Agreement are amended and supplemented to describe the individual
phases of the Stormwater Management Program.
PHASE I - STORMWATER MASTER PLAN
In this phase, the tasks described below will be performed for portions
(described below) of the OWNER-operated stormwater conveyance system within
the planning area. defined as the area generally bounded by the E-3 Canal,
the L-30 Canal, Hypoluxo Road and the Intracoastal Waterway. As described
in the Drainage Element of the Comprehensive Plan, the OWNER operates
several short positive drainage ouffalls to the finger canals around Lake
Ida; a 1,900 foot storm sewer along Northwest 3rd Street between Northwest
8th Avenue and Boynton Beach Boulevard; several short ouffalls along the
south bank of Canal C-16; and approximately 1,300 feet of storm sewer with
a pumping station at Southwest 3rd Avenue and Southwest 6th Avenue.
Additionally, the City operates drainage ditches located east of 1-95. In
the area west of 1-95, the btflk of the stormwater systems was installed by
developers but is now maintained by the City. Stormwater conveyance
facilities operated by other entities (Lake Worth Drainage District, South
Florida Water Management District, the State and County Departments of
Transportation and private d~velopers) will not be studied in detail, but
only to the extent that they provide hydraulic boundary conditions to the
OWNER operated systems.
The systems to he studied in this Master Plan are shown in Figure 1.
located at the end of this Exhibit.

system schematic which will show general flow trends and will
provide a means of identifying analysis results.
O
Hydraulic - The ENGINEER will incorporate necessary hydraulic
geometry data (pipe sizes, invert elevations, etc.) into the
hydraulic model(s). The ENGINEER's judgement will determine which
data are necessary,
TASK 2.3: STRUCTURE/FACILITY INVENTORY AND MAP
The ENGINEER will produce a map (scale 1 ~ =2000')which shows major
stormwater structures and facilities. This map will show pipe sizes for
systems located east of 1-95, but will only show the networks (without pipe
sizes) for systems west of 1-95. The ENGINEER, with assistance of OWNER.
will conduct a review of the OWNER'S stormwater piping collection system to
determine condition of systems and approximate estimates of remaining
useful life. Systems requiting replacement will be inventoried.
A-6
MIA/AIP006
TASK 3.0: HYDRAULIC CAPACITY ANALYSIS
The ENGINEER will analyze the OWNER'S Stormwater management priority
systems as described in Figure 1 and Tables 1 and 2.
In this methodology, each priority system will be divided into basins as
previously described. Design storms (5-year, 24 hour and 3-year, 24 hour)
will be simulated and-ponding levels will be determined. Analysis wiR. be
conducted for the areas identified in Figure.1. Conveyance systems will be
resized in th.e analysis for two levels of service: no ponding ~nd one-half
foot of ponding (o~ mutually acceptable alternates). Resizi~ requirements
will be tabulated for eaeh~ for subsequent development of estimate of
probable construction cost.
TASK 4.0: BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES SUMMARY
In anticipation of future requirements to be posed by federal stormwater
per~..'tt~.g., this: task ~ provide a generic table that will relate
applicability of:potential Best Management Practices (BMPs) to criteria
such as land use, intensity of development, availability of vacant land.
soil type and depth to water table. Generic schematics will be provided
for major types of BMPs.
TASK 5.0: CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM (CIP)
In this task. estimates of probable construction cost will be developed by

PHASE H - STORMWATER FUNDING STUDY AND IMPLEMENTATION
Normally, a funding mechanism is developed in two stages: (1) rate study
and (2) knplem~ttation activities (verification of billing units, data
processing for billing, ordinance development, etc). This two-stage
approach makes sense in that the completion of Stage I Provides the City
administrators and elected officials the opportunity to consider equity and
fiscal impact issues and make adjustments to the major thrust of the
program, before embarking on the laborious activities of Stage 2. Based
on discussi~.ons with staff.., the scope below is geared to the stormwater
utility funding mechanism.
Stage 1 - Rate Study
Task 1.1 - Operations & Maintenance (0 & M) Costs - Current operations and
maintenance costa associated with providing stormwater related services
will be determined. This will be accomplished through a review of the
City's budget information and interviews of City staff.
Task 1.2 - Administrative Needs - Current stormwater permitting procedures
and staffing will be determined. This will be accomplished through a
review of the City's present procedures, budget information, and
established ordinances. The analysis will include needs for mapping,
planning, design, and related needs.
Task 1.3 - Capital Improvement Programs - A review and evaluation will be
conducted of stormwater-related capital improvements which have been
previously identified and prioritized by the City. This will be
accomplished through a review of the City's present Capital Improvements
Program, MaSter Drainage Plan, and related reports which are on file. plus
interviews with staff to update the information.
Task 1.4 - Projected Annual Costs - An identification will be made, with
assistance from the OWNER of the total annual cost (capital costs plus
operations and maintenance costs plus other administrative costs) per year
for a five-year period. The information will be presented in tabular form
and will cover the following topics:
Administration - design, planning, regulatory, review,
mapping; direct, and indirect costs.
0
Operations and Maintenance (O&M) - cleaning, mowing,
operation, etc. of stormwater systems.
A-9
MIA/AIP006
O
Repair and replacement (R&R) - repair and replacement of
obsolete structures.
0
Capital Improvement Program (CIP) - construction of
stormwater facilities.
Task 1.5 - Potential Revenue Analysis - The objective of this subtask is to
estimate the potential revenue by estimating the total number of units
available to be billed and the reasonable range of unit charges. The
definition and number of billing units de...pends on the .tim. ~g mechanism
selected. In the Case of a stormwater utility, the unit is typically the
Equivalent Residential Unit ("ERU"), which is equivaien, t to the average
imperVious area of a residence. The ERU is the "yardstxck" to which
non-residential parcels are compared. Under a stormwater utility, this
subtask entails an analysis of computerized data on dist~.~bufion of parcels
by land use and/,or, imperious area. Subtasks are described below:
Subtask 1.5.1 - Parcel Data Review
The first activity under this subtask will be to make a preliminary
determination of the geographic boundary of the conte.mplated stormwater
utility (to be confirmed later during ordinance preparataon under Phase II
Stage 2). This activity will'entail coordination with palm Beach County to
discuss inclusion of unincorporated county areas adjacent to the City.
This activity will involve legal research and preparation of a legal
opinion identifying the statutory and case law basis for inclusion of
unincorporated:areas within a municipal stormwater utility boundary. The
opinion will also contain an outline of substantive and procedural legal
tasks necessary to properly implement such a utility.
The ENGINEER will draft a letter for the OWNER's signature, requesting from
Palm Beach County computer-compatible assessment information on magnetic
tape. While the entire dataset is acceptable, the pertinent information
includes:
0
0
0
0
0
0
Parcel identification number
Name and address of parcel owner.
Situs address
State DOR code.
Land data (local land use code and area/dimensions of the
parcel).
Building characteristics (base area of building, number of
stories, number of dwelling units or apartments).
A-10
M1A/AIP006
O
O
Miscellaneous improvements/extra features. Description or
code for extra feature, area of extra feature.
Any code which will allow the desegregation of the parcels
within the City versus the County.
Also requested will be a record layout, and information related to each of
the codes used in the datasets.
When the ENGINEER is satisfied as to the completeness and format of the
data submitted, a written notice of acceptance of the information will be
presented to the OWNER.
Subtask 1.5.2 - Base Equivalent Residential Unit (ERU) Calculations
The ENGINEER will develop a methodology to establish the potential utility
customer base based upon the information acquired in the previous subtask.
The calculation of equivalent residential units will be based upon
compiling property assessment data. calculating impervious surface data,
and determining selected rate structures for all land use types,
Subtask 1.5.3 - Land Parcel Assessment
The ENGINEER will conduct an analysis of the assessment information
provided for all residential parcels to establish the average impervious
area for an ERU. This address dwelling unit types (i.e. single family,
multi-family, condominium, and mobile homes). Using the ERU as a base, the
ENGINEER shall establish the methodology for determining equivalent
residential units for non-residential and vacant parcels.
Subtask 1.5.4 ERU Estimation Alternatives
The ENGINEER will make an estimation of the total number of ERUs within the
City and will prepare a table summarizing the number of parcels and ERUs
for major land use categories within the City. Based on a statistical
sampling of vacant platted single family parcels identified in the
appraisal file, the ENGINEER will estimate the size of a typical vacant
platted single family lot in the City. This estimated size will be made to
within a 95 percent confidence interval. Estimates of the runoff potential
for developed single family parcels and vacant single family parcels will
be made. Based on the estimates, the ENGINEER will develop an algorithm to
allocate an equitable portion of an ERU to vacant platted single family
lots and other undeveloped parcels. Based upon the algorithm developed for
vacant platted single family parcels in the City, an estimate of ERUs
associated with other undeveloped parcels will be made.
A-11
MIA/AIP006
The total number of equivalent residential units will be calculated by two
methods: Single Family Unit (SFU) Equivalent and Dwelling Unit (DU)
Equivalent. Both of these assume that residential parcels are assigned a
uniform rate depending upon the number of dwelling units on the parcel.
The SFU Eqm'valent is based upon the average imperdous area of SFU
parcels. The DU Equivalent is based upon the average impervious area per
unit of SFU, multi-family, mobile home, and condominium parcels. The ERUs
for non-residential parcels are calculated as the total impervious area
divided by either the SFU or DU Equivalent.
SubTask 1.5.5 - Governmental/Institutional Parcels
The ENGINEER will review non-residential governmental/institutional land
parcels within the study area and analyze the contribution of such parcels
to the total number of ERUs.
Subtask 1.5.6 - Credits and Related Issues
The ENGINEER will evaluate the following considerations and provide a
summary of recommendations:
0
0
0
0
0
Assessment of vacant versus developed parcels
Wetlands, recreational areas, etc.
Public tax-exempt properties
Credits for existing stormwater attenuation, water quality,
retention, detention systems.
Other issues identified by the ENGINEER, based upon pervious
experience, which may need resolving.
Subtask 1.5.7 - General Revenue Potential
The ENGINEER will develop an estimate of the annual revenue which can be
generated from the ERUs identified within the study area for fiscal years
1991/1992 through 1995/1996 for a series of unit rate charges to be agreed
upon by the OWNER. This process will be limited to a maximum of three trait
rates.
Task 1.6 - Revenue Scenarios - A determination will be made of the unit
charges as necessary to produce sufficient revenue to cover annual costs
previously identified. Based upon the efforts defined in previous tasks,
the necessary unit charges would be determined for no more than three
agreed upon levels of funding.

Task 1.7 - Billing Activities Review - This subtask would build upon
preliminary findings in Phase I.
Coordination will take place with various City depathuents m review the
existing Tax Collector's billing system, assess the feasibility of
incorporating a stormwater utility (if applicable) with this system, use
the water/wastewater utility billing system, or recommend another billing
mechanism.
~.completeness, each of. these potential systems will be e~aluated in
based on the following criteria:
o Coverage of customer base
o Ability to address non-payment of fees
o Billing cycle
o Ease of adding the stormwater utility fee
Based upon the review, the ENGINEER will recommend the best method of
billing. This evaluation shall include a strategy to implement the
recommended system. In this evaluation, the ENGINEER shall consider:

Other issues which the project team identifies as needed
A set of billing procedures shall be produced as a result of this task and
a system to integrate the utility into the existing billing system will be
delineated for implementation in a subsequent phase.
Task 1.8 - Technical Report - A draft report will be prepared summarizing
the efforts defmed in previous tasks. The following identifies a tenta-
tive outline for the report which will be finalized during the
accomplishment of the previous tasks:

Implementation
The ENGINEER will establish justification for a stormwater utility and
recommended charges. Following the review by the OWNER, a review meeting
will be held to discuss the OWNER's review comments.
Task 1.9 - Informational Meetings - Presentations will be made of the
findings of previous ~tasks at meetings as follows:
Upon completion of developing the recommendations regarding
the basis for unit charges (to staff)..
2. Upon completion of the draft report (to staff).
Presentation of the study results will be made to the City
Commission.
STAGE 2 - Implementation
This stage will consists of subtasks that are highly dependent on the
results of Stage 1. General features are discussed below:
Task 2.1 - Policies and Procedures Manual - A Policies and Procedures
Manual will be developed addressing computation of fees and billing
procedures for undeveloped properties and for governmental/institutional
properties. The issue of credits and differential rate structure will be
discussed.
Task 2.2 - Billing Unit Verification Procedures - This subtask will verify
the number and type of units to be billed. In the case of a stormwater
utility, it would entail verification of impervious area in non-residential
parcels.
Task 2.3 - Master Data File Development - A master data file that contains
all of the data required for the billing system will be developed. The
data file will be used to store, retrieve, and update the billing
information as it is verified.
Task 2.4 - Draft Ordinance - A stormwater draft ordinance and draft rate
resolution will be developed for use by the OWNER's legal staff.

Task 2.5 - Public Education Program - The ENGINEER will provide the OWNER
with copies of news articles, notices, and brochures that have been used by
other municipalities for implementing the selected stormwater funding
public information programs. The ENGINEER will also review and comment on
similar documents that are prepared by the OWNER. The ENGINEER is
qualified and available to make presentations to the public explaining the
OWNER's stormwater management program and the stormwater funding
mechanisms. The ENGINEER can develop handouts and presentation boards that
will be used at any public information workshops.
PARAGRAPH 2. The responsibilities of OWNER are described in Section 3 of
said agreement are amended and ~upplemented as follows:
For Phase I the OWNER will assist ENGINEER in developing levels of service
for allowable ponding.
For Phase II Stage 1, OWNER will assist ENGINEER by sending a letter
(drafted by ENGINEER) to Palm Beach County requesting property assessment
information. OWNER will provide ENGINEER information on City adminis-
t alnve, ..o~r.ation and mmntenance and capital costs. Specific
responsibilities for stage 2 will be detailed at a later date.
PARAGRAPH 3; The .time periods for the performance of ENGINEER's services
as set forth in Section 4 of said Agreement are amended and supplemented as
follows:
The draft reports for Phase I and for Phase II Stage 1 will each be
submitted to the OWNER, within 250 calendar days of authorization to
proceed following execution of this Agreement.
PARAGRAPH 4. The method of payment for services rendered by ENGINEER shall
be as set forth below:
For the Basic Services performed under Section 1, the OWNER agrees to
pay the ENGINEER the lump sum fee of $126,120 for Phase I (which
includes $21,040 for federal NPDES Part 1 permitting work) and $71,500
for Phase II Stage I (Rate Study); partial payments to be made on a
monthly basis in proportion to the percentage of work completed on each
phase separately and the balance of payment made when each report is
completed. A detailed scope of work for Phase II Stage 2, and the
compensation amount, shall be developed upon completion of Stage I.
Also, a detailed scope of work for Part 2 of the NPDES permitting work,
and the compensation amount, wit be developed upon completion of Part
I work.

TABLE 2
~ICOPE OF WORK FOR PRIORITY AREAS
Area 1 ('Dunkin Donuts~ Site)
Thi's area, commonly referred to as the ~Dunkin Donuts~ site, has a
stormwater conveyance system in place. The system will be analyzed using
the RUNOFF computer model (with resize option), including possible routing
to L-24 Canal operated by Lake Worth Drainage District. Offhand, the
option of substantial exfiltration of the runoff volume appears doubtful
due to high water table.
Area 2 (Industrial)
This low lying industrial area's runoff flows via overland flow toward the
south. The analysis (no computer modeling) will entail a possible
detention system east of this area (near the raiffoad tracks).
Area 3 (Residential)
This area does not appear to have a stormwater conveyance system. Runoff
flows eastward via overland flow to an extrfltration system. The analysis
(no computer modeling) will consist of evaluating additional and/or
enhanced exfffltration systems.
Area 4 (Residential)
This area is generally located across from Area 3, on the north side of
Boynton Beach Boulevard. It contains storm sewer catch basins, but the
extent of a conveyance system is not established. The analysis will
probably entail a limited mount of computer modeling.
EXHIBIT "B"
For the Basic Services performed under Section 1, the OWNER agrees to
pay the ENGINEER the J,mp sum fee of $126,120 for Phase ! (which
includes $21,040 for federal NPDES Part 1 permitting work) and $71,500
for Phase II Stage 1 (Rate Study); partial payments to be made on a
monthly basis in proportion to the percentage of work completed on each
phase separately and the balance of payment made when each report is
completed. A detailed scope of work for Phase II Stage 2, and the
compensation amount, shall be developed upon completion of Stage 1.
Also, a detailed scope of work for Part 2 of the NPDES permitting work,
and the compensation amount, will be developed upon completion of Part
1 work.
