Baseline Compazison Costs <br /> (In 2004 Dollars) <br /> MWMC SDC chazges = $2,880,239 <br /> Eugene SDC charges = $1,038,000 . <br /> Other chazges = $0 <br /> Total connection costs = $3,918,239 <br /> Scenario One <br /> This scenario applies the MWMC SDC methodology using the assumption that there is no <br /> available physical capacity; and is based on using the "unit cost of new capacity" that is charged <br /> to new users requiring some increment of new system capacity to meet their demand. This <br /> partially accounts for the fact that Coburg lies entirely outside the planned service azea. The <br /> methodolo distributes th <br /> e costs of the MWMC Facilities Plan 20-Year Pro'ect List accordin <br /> g3' J g <br /> to whether additional capacity was gained by a physical expansion of capacity or whether new <br /> capacity, was gained by improving a process. One-hundred percent of the cost of new physical <br /> capacity is passed on to new users, whereas existing users shaze in the cost of capacity gained by <br /> performance improvements on a prorata basis (such that 11% to 28% is chazged to new users). <br /> Scenario One Costs <br /> (In 2004 Dollars) <br /> MWMC SDC chazges = $4,590,000 <br /> Eugene SDC charges = $1,038,000 <br /> Support Facilities = $ 106,000 <br /> Past Planning Studies = $ 12,000 <br /> Decision Processing = $ 300,000 <br /> Total connection costs = $6,048,758 <br /> Scenazio Two <br /> Scenazio Two is similaz to Scenario One, in that it is based on using the "unit cost of new <br /> capacity" charged to new users requiring some increment of new system capacity to meet their <br /> demand. However, in Scenario Two, the new user is chazged for the total project costs of new <br /> <br /> 'capacity (rather than charging a portion of the new capacity gained by performance improvement <br /> projects to existing users).. This scenario more closely estimates the actual cost of capacity that <br /> Coburg-would consume if connected to the regional system, because it applies the full <br /> incremental costs of projects needed to meet, as examples, the recent, more stringent <br /> environmental requirements on temperature (which will be met by projects that divert effluent <br /> out of the river) and ammonia (which will be met by projects built to improve the environmental <br /> performance of the existing facilities). <br /> City Council page 445 Page 9 <br /> _ <br /> <br />
