17-26 - Non-Ad Valorem Fire Assessment Rate Study
OVERVIEW AND INTENT
1. Purpose
This RFP intends to solicit sealed proposals from qualified Contractor(s) to provide a comprehensive
Non-Ad Valorem Fire Assessment Rate Study.
The City is currently seeking proposals from persons or business entities ("Proposers") that (1) can
provide analysis and advice to City officials concerning funding of non-ad valorem assessments,
including annual fire service availability funding (2) offer specific strategies and alternatives for
consideration by City management and staff (3) if requested, either implement or cause funding such
strategies or advice to be implemented swiftly. In this context, "swiftly" would be considered within
approximately 1 to 4 months upon contracting.
2. Overview
Among other things, the City is faced with the prospect of reduced ad valorem revenue based on
possible decisions of the Florida legislature. Revenue sources need to be developed to cover costs
for its fire department, to better serve properties within the City.
A quality and successful response to the RFP should articulate qualifications and readiness to (1)
succinctly offer a comprehensive means to legally fund additional and supplemental costs toward
looking to accomplish the existing and expanded funding of the City's fire department budget in
ensuing fiscal years. Such services may be expanded to additional work orders for the contemplated
special assessment or other special assessments subsequently, (2) offer practical and immediate
alternatives or funding strategies (which at the discretion of the proposer may or may not be shared in
detail in the response to the RFP), and (3) outline a detailed path, timeline or other means to
implement any funding approach, or to cause any alternatives or strategies described or suggested to
be implemented. In this context, "implemented" means undertaking reasonable and necessary legal,
analytical, administrative and practical steps or prerequisites necessary to be in a position to
collectively bill or charge all assessable property owners.
The City is aware of and will be responsible for timely compliance with section 197.3632 (3), Florida
Statutes, if it uses the uniform method of collection. The Proposer can assume the City will
cooperatively share relative but preliminary budget information upon request if selected.
A quality and successful response should outline how the Proposer expects and proposes to be paid
and compensated beyond the nominal initial hourly or negotiated fee advice budget. The City is not
and shall not be liable to pay for any work to respond or prepare a response to this RFP. A selected
Proposer assumes the risk of not being selected or if selected undertaking any work where the value
exceeds or extends beyond the limited not to exceed nominal advice budget hereof. However, the
Proposer should contemplate, but is not guaranteed, a subsequent mutually agreeable work order or
orders, if the City requests and so directs in writing based on a work order developed as a result of a
response to this RFP.
3. Scope of Services
Proposers shall provide a statement in the affirmative, in Tab #3 of their Proposal, answering
the Information Requested questions as described below. Proposers shall not alter the
Information Requested questions in any way. Failure to comply shall result in the responses
to the questions as being incomplete/nonresponsive.
The Proposers shall perform the following related professional services for the City. Responsibilities
of the selected Proposer shall include but are not limited to the following:

17-26 - Non-Ad Valorem Fire Assessment Rate Study
Phase I
A. Evaluate Data Pertaining to Fire Rescue Services: Evaluate existing City documents, ad
valorem tax roll information, fire call data, agreements, reports, levels of service, five-year budget
requests, projected long- term capital needs and other data pertaining to the provision of the fire
services.
B. Review and Evaluate Outstanding Issues: Research, identify and evaluate outstanding funding
issues that need to be addressed during the development of the fire services funding options and
apportionment methodology and assist the City in identifying policy decisions necessary to
implement a City assessment program for Fiscal Year 2027/2028.
C. Determine Full Costs of Service: Evaluate the full cost of fire service delivery, using the City's
most current financial information including direct and indirect costs.
D. Analyze Call Data and Correlate with Property Data: Evaluate a minimum of two years of the
City's fire incident reports, correlate the fixed property uses on the reports to comparable property
uses on the tax roll. Analyze all property use categories within the City to determine which
parcels receive a special benefit from the provision of Fire Rescue Services.
E. Develop Apportionment Methodology (the City would like to see a minimum of three (3)
Methodologies): Develop a fair and reasonable method of apportionment and accurate
classification of parcels using the current ad valorem roll and fire incident data reports. Review
the assessment methodology for legal sufficiency and compatibility with the tax bill method of
collection. Create a preliminary assessment roll database using the current tax roll and apply the
apportionment methodology to the database to test validity and legal sufficiency.
F. Identify Service Delivery Issues: Identify and analyze any potential service delivery issues that
may affect the apportionment methodology.
G. Determine Assessment Rates: Calculate a pro forma schedule of rates based on the developed
apportionment methodology and revenue requirements for the 2027/2028 assessment program
using the developed assessment roll. Additionally, provide a five-year schedule of fees per the
rate structure to support the anticipated financial requirement.
H. Identify Revenue Requirements and Alternative Revenue Sources: Advise the City in
determining the total fire department service assessment revenue requirements to ensure
recovery of the costs of net fire service delivery revenue requirement, implementing the program
and collecting the assessment. Identify alternative sources of revenue to fund the service delivery
costs.
I. Review Legal Sufficiency of Assessment Methodology: Review the assessment methodology
for legal sufficiency and compatibility with the tax bill method of collection. Ensure that the data
approach used is the data needed for the tax bill collection method in recurring years.
J. Present Results to City: Prepare a draft Assessment Report that identifies the apportionment
methodology, benefited properties, pro forma assessment rates, and alternatives for funding fire
services. The report will also include a cost analysis, revenue generation options, and the steps
and timetable for implementing the fire assessment for the Fiscal Year 2027/2028. Present the
draft report to City staff for input, revise as necessary, produce a final report, and present the
report to the City of DeBary City Council.

supplied by the City or at its expense will be kept confidential by the Contractor and will not be

required by a lawful order. All drawings, maps, sketches, programs, database, reports and other

O. Provide City with Source Files: Provide all source files to the City in Microsoft Word and Excel.
P. City Staff Training: The City will require that selected City staff receive comprehensive
documented guidance and training on the selected methodology used in the Fire Assessment
Rate Study. This training will ensure that staff are fully equipped to understand, apply, and
maintain the methodology for future use. As a result, City personnel will be able to independently
update the fire assessment rates on an annual basis, ensuring consistency, accuracy, and
alignment with the original study framework while adapting to any changes in service demands or
cost factors.
