“Optional Tasks” (on “as needed” basis): It is hoped that sufficient data will be presented by the participants in the proceedings to inform the desired outcomes by the Consultant. However, data requests and methodologies performed by other parties may not provide complete data for comparison of alternatives, or the impacts on MPWMD ratepayers. Any detailed cash flow modeling to be undertaken and performed by the Consultant will be done after discussion with and approval by MPWMD. Additionally, any in depth evaluation of cost allocation and/or interagency agreements for MPWMD participation in a public project will be done after discussion with and approval by MPWMD. Tasks later identified (“Additional Tasks”) may be undertaken only if requested and authorized by MPWMD with an amendment to this Agreement.

Deliverables: After completion of Task 3 and before Task 4, a written overview of key findings and issues shall be completed. Following the workshops (Task 4) as part of Task 5, identification of additional findings, issues, and data needs will be prepared. Prepared testimony will be delivered as needed (Task 9.) If “Optional Tasks” are elected by MPWMD, then written summaries, spreadsheets, and/or reports will be delivered as appropriate.
