(A) (1) All reimbursements for installers, pursuant to this subchapter, shall be set forth in a written agreement between the installer and the District. Such agreements shall be signed by the installer at or about the time of the creation of a reimbursement account. Reimbursement fees will be calculated by dividing the sum of all allowable costs of the PSF by the total number of connections or residential unit equivalents that could reasonably be physically connected directly to the PSF or could reasonably be served by the PSF.
(2) Reimbursement fees will be determined based on consideration of the following:
(a) Costs that are allowable to include in the calculation of reimbursement fees are those which are directly related to the planning, design and construction of the PSF, including payments to contractors and engineers, security bonds and acquiring right-of-way for the project. Ineligible costs include, but are not limited to, attorneys’ fees, financing costs and the installer’s overhead and office expenses related to the coordination and supervision of contractors engaged to perform project work; and
(b) The total number of connections or residential unit equivalents that could reasonably be physically connected directly to the PSF or could reasonably be served by the PSF will be determined considering zoning regulations of the agency having jurisdiction for determining land use policy in the area to be served, the configuration of the District’s existing sewage facilities, the character of development adjacent to the reimbursement area and site topography.
(B) The Board of Directors recognizes that the above listed factors may not be the only basis for determining reimbursement fees in every case, and, therefore, authorizes the General Manager to exercise his or her judgment in determining the actual reimbursement fee that applies when, in his or her opinion, modifications are justified.
