The model will include all information relative to land use profiles, <br /> geographic service areas assumptions, etc. The models will also reflect cost/revenue projection <br /> methodologies as mutually agreed upon with County staff as part of the previous task. <br /> Meetings: <br /> One meeting with County staff to present draft Fiscal/Economic Impact Model. <br /> Deliverables: <br /> Draft Fiscal/Economic Impact Model. <br /> TASK 5: IMPLEMENT FISCAL/ECONOMIC IMPACT MODEL <br /> Based on feedback from County staff received during Task 4, TischlerBise will finalize the Fiscal/Economic <br /> Impact Model to be conveyed to Orange County. The model will be proprietary and for use by the County, <br /> under a licensing agreement. As part of the development process, likely users of the models and <br /> department representatives will be surveyed regarding design of the user interface and specific reports that <br /> County staff would like to see generated by the model. These reports can include virtually any type of graph <br /> as well as specific tables summarizing revenues, expenditures, bonding information, among others. The <br /> model outputs will be shown annually, cumulatively, as well as on an average annual basis for various time <br /> increments (an overall time horizon of 20 years is typical). <br /> Upon approval and acceptance of the final Fiscal/Economic Impact Model, the consultant will train a group <br /> of County staff on the methodology and user inputs of the model. <br /> User Documentation. TischlerBise will provide Model User Documentation that will include a training <br /> manual that discusses the use and technical aspects of the model. This will include a discussion of the <br /> different cost components for the various County service providers, including both facility and non-facility <br /> related operating expenses, methodologies for forecasting future capital facility needs, and associated <br /> operating expenses. <br /> It is anticipated that the User Documentation will consist of the following Chapters: <br /> ■ Executive Summary <br /> ■ Description of Assumptions and Methodologies <br /> ■ Description of Various Model Cost and Revenue Modules <br /> ■ Discussion of the Design and Use of Each Module of the Fiscal/Economic Impact Model <br /> ■ Helpful Excel Hints <br /> Implementation. In this subtask, TischlerBise will conduct two onsite training sessions with appropriate <br /> County staff. In the first training session, staff will be trained on the structure of the model, data inputs, how <br /> to incorporate different methodologies/demand factors, and how to develop additional modules. A second <br /> training session will be provided at a mutually agreed upon time. The focus of these sessions will be to <br /> encourage various "hands on"applications and to answer questions. <br /> 24 TischlerBise <br /> PISCOL ECONOMIC I P-ANKING <br />
