Exhibit A (Scope of Work) SCOPE OF WORK 1. Project Approach Introduction The following discussion identifies the professional and technical activities that HDR Engineering, Inc. (HDR) will perform for the development and support of the City of Everett’s (City) Stormwater Rate Design Study (Study). The overall objective of the Study is to develop alternative rate design options for their stormwater utility. The City’s current stormwater rates are based on the sewer rate structure and the City wants to explore rate designs that are directly related to the customer’s impact on the system. The study will utilize the last rate study’s (2024) revenue requirement, and the overall rate revenue will be in line with the revenue levels from the revenue requirement. The identified tasks will provide a detailed set of recommendations based upon our review and analysis. Goals and Objectives for the Study The City has identified a number of specific issues to be reviewed and addressed as a part of this scope of services. These specific issues include, but are not limited to:  Utilize the 2024 stormwater rate study revenue requirement as a basis for the cost of service and to set revenue requirement targets.  Transition the City’s stormwater rates to an impervious surface basis; review and consider approaches to smooth transition and phase-in commercial stormwater rates from a flat to impervious surface basis. Scope of Work This scope of work will provide a cost basis for the proposed stormwater rates. It will result in updated stormwater rates for 2027 - 2028. Provided below is a more detailed discussion of the scope of work for the City’s Study. Task 1: Project Management and Quality Control Perform miscellaneous project set up activities, work paper documentation, internal scheduling / workload planning, invoicing, ongoing client correspondence, quality control, and other miscellaneous administrative / project management activities throughout the Study. Task 1 Assumptions: • Provide quality control through HDR’s QC process on all deliverables provided to the City. • Provide overall project administration and management. Task 1 Deliverables: • Monthly invoicing and progress report. Task 2 – Data Collection / Kick-Off Meeting A kick-off meeting will be held with City staff to discuss key issues and objectives and review readily available information. HDR will provide a written data request to the City in advance of the kick-off meeting. A two-hour Initial kick-off virtual meeting with the HDR project manager and project analyst will
