City of Pleasanton | Stormwater System Management Plan | PWD 25.601 | PAGE 27 analyze and refine messaging related to storm drain infrastructure. We will draft various communications, including website content, Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) documents, camera‐ready mailers and brochures, PowerPoint presentations, emails, scripts, and other adaptable messages COMMUNICATIONS ROLLOUT AND IMPLEMENTATION | Once the outreach plan is well‐vetted, reviewed, and refined, the Wood Rodgers Team will coordinate the rollout and implementation of the plan. The Wood Rodgers Team will provide preparation assistance and support for City staff at each step along the way and we can be available to attend selected meetings. We will also develop detailed rates and parcel data for selected stakeholders (e.g., Chamber of Commerce, school districts, and large landowners). Deliverable(s): Outreach Action Plan | Draft messaging documents, updated as needed | Curation of Stakeholder list and meeting schedules | Five (5) Community/Stakeholder Meetings | (Printing and mailing of any outreach materials is excluded) Task 10.6 – First-Year Levy Submittal and Administration If the stormwater fee is approved by participating property owners, the Wood Rodgers Team shall prepare the property database, levy, ownership information, and other data required for the levy administration services for the first levy year. These services include obtaining the final lien‐date assessor’s roll and property data for the first levy year; updating the assessment to account for development, parcel subdivisions, ownership, and other property changes; preparing the final assessment levies; and submitting the final assessments and assessment diagram to the County Tax Collector(s). In addition, our property‐owner inquiry line will be added to tax bills so that we can respond directly to property‐owner inquiries throughout the fiscal year on behalf of the City. If property owners question their fee, the Wood Rodgers Team will research the property attributes used to determine the fee. If necessary, we will revise the fee and process a revision to the tax bill and levy roll. Actual revisions are not expected to be significant, but some owners may question their fee after receiving their tax bill. In addition, if fees proposed for public agencies cannot be collected through the County Tax Collector(s), the Wood Rodgers Team shall prepare and manage the mailing of manual bills to public agencies and the subsequent collection of their fees. Deliverable(s): First‐year levies | Property‐owner inquiring response services | Manual billing of public parcels Task 10.7 – Grant Funding Opportunities Grant funding provides financial resources to public agencies in a cost‐sharing partnership to finance administration, design services, Grant funding provides financial resources to public agencies in a cost‐sharing partnership to finance administration, design services, and construction of capital improvement projects for public safety and benefits. Wood Rodgers has resources and experience to support stormwater management and flood control grants. Wood Rodgers has a successful track record in supporting public agencies to acquire grant funding for much‐needed capital improvement projects. Wood Rodgers has successfully supported the public agencies in the Bay Area and Central Valley to obtain more than $70 million in flood mitigation grant funds. Wood Rodgers proposes to identify up to two improvement projects that are competitive in grant applications and to develop sufficient technical data to support future grant applications (not included in this proposal). Flood mitigation grants provide funds to local agencies for stormwater management and flood control improvement projects. Many grants are multi‐benefit, providing funds for projects that provide water quality benefits and flood risk reduction. Federal and states grants are available through agencies such as the California Department of Water Resources, the California State Water Resources Control Board, and the US Environmental Protection Agency. For successful applications, local agencies generally have to submit competitive applications that identify project benefits, conceptual costs, and a favorable benefit‐cost ratio (BCR). Wood Rodgers will develop anticipated flood damages for the deficient drainage systems, 10% design plans, and the associated improvement capital costs to support future grant applications (not included in this proposal). With this information, Wood Rodgers will identify and recommend the most competitive improvement projects for future grant application considerations. We will develop BCR analyses for the projects to determine the cost‐ effectiveness and grant application competitiveness. Deliverable(s): 10% design plans | Capital costs | Benefit‐cost ratio analysis for one improvement project\. Task 10.8 – Community Engagement Support Wood Rodgers and our team members, Dailey Strategies and RPA, have extensive experience working with public agencies to plan, EXHIBIT A Docusign Envelope ID: DF86282A-2A84-404C-9F8A-A035AEFBCFF8
