2. ABOUT THE CITY
Diamond Bar is a scenic community located on the eastern edge of Los Angeles
County, within minutes of Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino counties. With
its origin as a center for ranching perched among a landscape of rolling hills in
the East San Gabriel Valley, Diamond Bar became one of the first master
planned communities in Los Angeles County dating back to 1956, and has
grown since that time to be known for its friendly country-living atmosphere,
abundant open spaces, exceptional public facilities, well-maintained parks and
hiking trails, and excellent schools. In 1989, Diamond Bar became the 86th city in
Los Angeles County. Today, Diamond Bar covers 14.9 square miles and is home
to 57,177 residents.
Diamond Bar is bounded by the cities of Industry and Pomona to the north,
Chino Hills to the east, and unincorporated Los Angeles County to the south and
west. With convenient access to the SR-57 and SR-60 freeways, Diamond Bar is
within 30 miles driving distance of the cities of Los Angeles, Riverside, and Irvine,
Citywide Fee Study
December 14, 2023

making it a desirable destination to live and work. The Industry Metrolink Station
lies on the City’s northern border, providing east-west transit connections to Los
Angeles and Riverside.
3. PROJECT BACKGROUND
The City of Diamond Bar's Citywide Fee Study is a comprehensive undertaking
aimed at enhancing the fiscal sustainability and equitable distribution of financial
resources within the community. In response to the City's evolving needs and
growth, this project seeks to evaluate and adjust various fees and charges,
ensuring they align with the cost of services provided by the City. By conducting
this study, the City of Diamond Bar aims to promote transparency, fairness, and
responsible financial management, ultimately benefiting both residents and
businesses while fostering the continued development of a vibrant and thriving
City. At the conclusion of the Citywide Fee Study, it is anticipated the Diamond
Bar City Council will have an opportunity to review, and revise if necessary, all
necessary Department Fee Schedules for consideration and adoption. The
current list of Department Fee Schedules is attached as Exhibit B, and includes
Building (Construction, Valuation, and Associated Permit fees), Planning, Public
Works Engineering and Industrial Fees, Parks & Recreation, Administration &
Miscellaneous.
The City is seeking to evaluate all cost of services provided and examine whether
a reasonable relationship exists between the cost of providing services and
current service fees, while ensuring compliance with the Mitigation Fee act, Govt.
Code 66000 et seq., Proposition 26, Proposition 218, and other applicable
statutory requirements. It is the City’s goal to have a well-documented and
legally defensible cost of service plan that will identify rates that will be used to
recover billable costs for services and develop fees that comply with applicable
statutory requirements.
4. SCOPE OF WORK AND DELIVERABLES
To be considered, proposals shall identify each task listed below and describe how
the firm will accomplish each task. At a minimum, these tasks shall include the
following areas of service:
1) Conduct a comprehensive review of existing fee schedule and rate structure
for all departments to determine whether the current schedule in place is
consistent, objective, and encompasses all areas where fees could be
charged.
Citywide Fee Study
December 14, 2023

2) Conduct a comprehensive review and provide recommendations on
updates to the format and presentation of the Schedule of Rents, Fines, and
Fees as well as the format of proposed fee changes to the public and City
Council.
3) Identify services for which the City is not currently charging, but could lawfully
do so.
4) Meet with staff and conduct interviews where appropriate to gain an
understanding of the City’s existing fee structure, practices, operations, and
current and future development environment. Meetings may be held in-
person, virtual or hybrid format.
5) Identify the total cost of providing each City service at the appropriate
activity level and in a manner that is consistent with all applicable laws,
studies, rules and regulations governing the collection of fees or charges
provided for services.
6) Review/revise all time estimates included in the previous studies and capture
new time estimates for new services.
7) Update annual volume and revenue statistics for all fee services.
8) Update all staffing and expenditure information.
9) Update all cross-department support calculations.
10) Compare existing recovery levels and fee for service costs, where the City is
currently charging for services.
11) Recommend appropriate fees and charges for service where full cost
recovery might be unrealistic or undesirable.
12) Provide revenue forecasting based on recommended fee levels.
Citywide Fee Study
December 14, 2023

13) Update department maximum fully burdened overhead rates for all
classifications.
14) Prepare the model for gathering data and updating the fees and charges
for service for all areas described above in a spreadsheet or database format
that automatically recalculates as items are input (i.e. new added personnel,
updated time estimates, updated volumes, etc.). The City will be
implementing a new Land Management System (EP&L). Ideally, calculations
will be conducive to the capabilities of the new system.
15) Prepare a report that identifies each City service, its full cost, the costs
currently being recovered, and the recommended cost recovery levels. For
each activity, the report should define and identify direct and indirect costs.
16) Prepare a report that evaluates the impact on City of Diamond Bar revenues
by fund, department or division, and in total, of recommended changes in
the fee and service charge structure.
17) Advise City staff on the model developed in determining appropriate fees
and charges based on program costs in the future.
18) Prepare a report that compares the City’s fee and service charges to similar
cities selected by the City with, Consultant’s guidance.
19) Present initial findings and recommendations to management and adjust as
necessary.
20) Prepare a report to the City Council on findings and recommendations to
facilitate an understanding by the City Council and the Public of
methodologies, issues, and recommendations resulting from the fee study.
City staff will give all presentations to the City Council, and Consultant shall
provide offline support before and after to address any questions that arise.
21) Provide final updated user fee study model and report, including supporting
files/documentation. Final report shall include a process and methodology
section for developing the cost of service amounts, and how the City should
incorporate Consumer Price Index (CPI) escalators for all fees to be utilized
by City staff for future annual updates, as allowed by law.

amounts as damages in any action against Consultant for breach of this Agreement in

EXHIBIT “A”
The City of Diamond Bar's Citywide Fee Study is a comprehensive undertaking
aimed at enhancing the fiscal sustainability and equitable distribution of
financial resources within the community. In response to the City's evolving
needs and growth, this project seeks to evaluate and adjust various fees and
charges, ensuring they align with the cost of services provided by the City. By
conducting this study, the City of Diamond Bar aims to promote transparency,
fairness, and responsible financial management, ultimately benefiting both
residents and businesses while fostering the continued development of a vibrant
and thriving City. At the conclusion of the Citywide Fee Study, it is anticipated
the Diamond Bar City Council will have an opportunity to review, and revise if
necessary, all necessary Department Fee Schedules for consideration and
adoption. The current list of Department Fee Schedules is attached as Exhibit B,
and includes Building (Construction, Valuation, and Associated Permit fees),
Planning, Public Works Engineering and Industrial Fees, Parks & Recreation,
Administration & Miscellaneous.
The City is seeking to evaluate all cost of services provided and examine
whether a reasonable relationship exists between the cost of providing services
and current service fees, while ensuring compliance with the Mitigation Fee act,
Govt. Code 66000 et seq., Proposition 26, Proposition 218, and other applicable
statutory requirements. It is the City’s goal to have a well-documented and
legally defensible cost of service plan that will identify rates that will be used to
recover billable costs for services and develop fees that comply with applicable
statutory requirements.
At a minimum, these tasks shall include the following areas of service:
1)Conduct a comprehensive review of existing fee schedule and rate
structure for all departments to determine whether the current schedule in
place is consistent, objective, and encompasses all areas where fees could
be charged.
2)Conduct a comprehensive review and provide recommendations on
updates to the format and presentation of the Schedule of Rents, Fines, and
Fees as well as the format of proposed fee changes to the public and City
Council.
3)Identify services for which the City is not currently charging, but could
lawfully do so.
4)Meet with staff and conduct interviews where appropriate to gain an
understanding of the City’s existing fee structure, practices, operations, and
12 Professional Services – Non Design
1450836.1
current and future development environment. Meetings may be held in-
person, virtual or hybrid format.
5)Identify the total cost of providing each City service at the appropriate
activity level and in a manner that is consistent with all applicable laws,
studies, rules and regulations governing the collection of fees or charges
provided for services.
6)Review/revise all time estimates included in the previous studies and
capture new time estimates for new services.
7)Update annual volume and revenue statistics for all fee services.
8)Update all staffing and expenditure information.
9)Update all cross-department support calculations.
10) Compare existing recovery levels and fee for service costs, where the City is
currently charging for services.
11) Recommend appropriate fees and charges for service where full cost
recovery might be unrealistic or undesirable.
12) Provide revenue forecasting based on recommended fee levels.
13) Update department maximum fully burdened overhead rates for all
classifications.
14) Prepare the model for gathering data and updating the fees and charges
for service for all areas described above in a spreadsheet or database
format that automatically recalculates as items are input (i.e. new added
personnel, updated time estimates, updated volumes, etc.). The City will be
implementing a new Land Management System (EP&L). Ideally,
calculations will be conducive to the capabilities of the new system.
15) Prepare a report that identifies each City service, its full cost, the costs
currently being recovered, and the recommended cost recovery levels. For
each activity, the report should define and identify direct and indirect costs.
16) Prepare a report that evaluates the impact on City of Diamond Bar
revenues by fund, department or division, and in total, of recommended
changes in the fee and service charge structure.
13 Professional Services – Non Design
1450836.1
17) Advise City staff on the model developed in determining appropriate fees
and charges based on program costs in the future.
18) Prepare a report that compares the City’s fee and service charges to similar
cities selected by the City with, Consultant’s guidance.
19) Present initial findings and recommendations to management and adjust as
necessary.
20) Prepare a report to the City Council on findings and recommendations to
facilitate an understanding by the City Council and the Public of
methodologies, issues, and recommendations resulting from the fee study.
City staff will give all presentations to the City Council, and Consultant shall
provide offline support before and after to address any questions that arise.
21) Provide final updated user fee study model and report, including supporting
files/documentation. Final report shall include a process and methodology
section for developing the cost of service amounts, and how the City should
incorporate Consumer Price Index (CPI) escalators for all fees to be utilized
by City staff for future annual updates, as allowed by law.

PRR 1 For Parks & Recreation participation fees, which
include, but are not limited to elective activities
such as athletics, excursions, and special events,
activities, and programs, the City Manager shall
have the authority to set fees to recover up to the
full direct costs of the specific activity, program, or
event. Direct costs include those related to City
personnel, supplies, services, admissions,
transportation, etc. Using the above as a guideline,
in those cases where the fee to be charged is
nominal (e.g. $10), the City Manager may
determine not to require a fee for the elective
activity if the City Manager determines the
administrative burden in collecting the fee
outweighs the benefit of the revenue to be derived
from collecting the fee.
