Comprehensive Cost Allocation Plan Services

The Vendor is required to provide to develop a comprehensive, fully compliant cost allocation plan (CAP) that not only supports accurate cost recovery but also provides city management with improved visibility into the profitability and performance of city services and operations.

• Review the documentation supporting the current fee and rate structure for all departments and services.
• Develop a full cost allocation model for calculating the full costs of providing each city service.

• The ability of the city to continuously update the model and overhead cost allocation plan easily from year to year as the organization changes.
