IV. BUDGET AND TIME The budget for this work effort is $20,000. Because of our significant relevant experience, we can complete the scope of work within the time frame noted on the RFP. V. EVALUATION We would like to offer a few brief comments on each of the evaluation points noted in the RFP. These are discussed in turn. A. Technical Approach As noted in the proposal, it is critical that the case study-marginal cost be utilized for the infrastructure forecasts. This will include the delineation by fiscal analysis zone between the urban service area, the transition area and the rural area. In addition it is also important that the consultant focus on the case study-marginal cost approach by considering available and excess capacity by different subareas of the County and how the different types of development and the level of service will affect the demand for infrastructure additions or new facilities. Finally this analysis should consider different alternatives for debt financing. TA will design its fiscal impact model to reflect these infrastructure characteristics for each of the service areas using this case study marginal cost approach. B. Relevant Experience As noted, TA has more fiscal impact experience utilizing the case study marginal cost approach than any other firm in the country. This relevant experience is critical in being able to produce a product which will withstand close public scrutiny and also meet the time frame. With the inclusion of Doug Porter of the Growth Management Institute, we also have significant relevant experience on financing and growth management techniques both in the state of North Carolina and nationally. C. Qualifications of the Proiect Team We think it is important to note that the technical analysis, data collection, modeling and evaluation of the fiscal impacts will be conducted in one office, in Bethesda, Maryland. The policy analysis for growth financing techniques and other approaches will be conducted by both TA and Doug Porter. The senior professionals working on this assignment have worked together in the past and the Growth Management Institute office is five minutes from TA's Bethesda, Maryland office.
