After receipt of final comments, SCS will issue a <br /> Final Report. This task will cover additional PowerPoint presentations of any alternative <br /> scenario iterations and any additional meetings with County leaders to make additional <br /> presentations, if requested by the County. Finally, three (3) copies of the Final Comprehensive <br /> Report will be transmitted to the Department for its use along with an electronic copy. <br /> Task 5 — Alternative Scenario Iterations (Optional) <br /> The process of developing a Solid Waste Financial Plan will likely yield recommendations for <br /> alternative funding scenarios, which involve additional iterations that vary the input parameters <br /> of the Pro Forma Financial Model. As part of our analysis under this Task, SCS will perform <br /> subsequent iterations of the Model as directed by the County, such as estimating how much of <br /> the revenue required should come from each customer sector(e.g., municipal residents, <br /> unincorporated residents). The purpose of allocating the revenue requirements among customer <br /> classes is two-fold. First, it enables the Department to compare the revenue requirement for each <br /> customer class with the revenue generated by that customer sector. This comparison enables <br /> SCS to help determine the extent to which the Department is achieving the goal of rate equity <br /> among its customer classes. Second, it provides a target revenue amount for use in <br /> implementing adjustments to the annual SWPF or establishing new rates, if any. <br /> Task 6 — Model Training (Optional ) <br /> At the conclusion of Task 3 (or Task 5, if authorized), SCS can also provide detailed training for <br /> Department and County staff on the use of the Model, including full documentation of the <br /> Model. We have found on past projects that the training has been well-received and enables <br /> client staff to fully utilize the Models we have developed for future budgeting purposes and to <br /> answer questions from County decision-makers in a timely manner without our assistance. This <br /> training has been given in a number of different ways, either face-to-face in a workshop or <br /> conducted using Webinar software like WebEx, Lync, GoToMeeting, or similar software. This <br /> varies from client to client based on available IT resources and desires for additional training. <br /> 12 <br />
