CHARLES TOWN UTILITY BOARD REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL FOR
WATER AND WASTEWATER
RATE STUDY
The City of Charles Town, West Virginia, by and through its Utility Board (CTUB) is seeking proposals for professional services from qualified firms to review and establish updated water and wastewater rates for the upcoming 5-year period (FY27 to FY32). The overall goal is to establish rates and charges for water and wastewater service that will ensure that CTUB’s utility service rates are self-sufficient and stable.
CTUB is seeking a firm that has the capabilities to conduct a water and wastewater rate study to determine the appropriate level of rates and charges for the water and wastewater systems. The consulting firm will provide an independent analysis of existing rates and recommend appropriate adjustments in rate levels and/or structures necessary to fund Water/Wastewater operations, maintenance, capital costs and debt service. The proposed rate analysis will provide a minimum five-year rate horizon (2027-2032).
The rate study will be based upon a comprehensive review of the City’s Water/Wastewater budgets, customer classes, current usage data, future growth, facility plans and studies and any other information deemed necessary.
Specific goals and/or issues to investigate include the following:
Ensuring the fiscal sustainability of CTUB’s Combined Utility System while limiting rate shock;
Impact of large, planned capital expenditures on retained earnings;
Development of a plan for maintaining the Combined Utility System funds at appropriate levels to provide for a healthy financial base of operation;
Investigation of tiered rate structures for water and wastewater, for CTUB’s consideration, with tier cutoffs based upon an evaluation of the historical meter data;
Evaluation of existing consumption tiers for the tiered rate structure, to verify that tier cutoffs appropriately separate customers into blocks that reflect specific water consumption behaviors;
Evaluation of miscellaneous charges to ensure that all charges are fair and adequately reflect the Water and Wastewater Departments’ actual costs for labor, equipment and materials to perform these specialty services for specific customers;
Evaluation of the potential increase in CTUB’s operating and maintenance costs (O&M).
Analysis of potential reduced water consumption on the revenue of both the Water and Wastewater Departments.
Institute a new fee structure.
Assistance in developing/acquiring a computer program for calculating the specific rates, costs and revenues in any given year. The model must allow for adjustments to be made in response to economic conditions. The computer program would be turned over to CTUB’s ownership and use when the study was complete, and appropriate staff would be trained on using the program.
The Request for Proposal (RFP) submission with its terms, conditions, attachments and all other forms in this package are due by Friday, February 6, 2026 by 4:00 pm. RFP’s received after the due date and time will not be accepted.
