| Solicitation Description: | The objective of this project of the District of Columbia Water and Sewer Authority’s (WASA’s) Board of Directors is to update and elaborate on its Year 2000 study and evaluate alternative structures for the ownership, management, and governance of the Authority and its facilities. The Board is interested in reviewing governance alternatives that would allow the Authority to better meet its mission and statutory obligations in an objective, timely, efficient and cost effective manner with an appropriate balance of independence and accountability. The project is one of the Board’s highest policy priorities. The Board is undertaking the work in conformance with D.C. Law 11-111, Section 207 (g)(1) and Board of Director’s Resolution #01-05 of January 4, 2001 which are posted on WASA’s website at www.dcwasa.com. The Board aims to document the benefits, costs, risks, and implementation steps associated with those options deemed to be feasible. The Board is interested in evaluating the entire range of alternatives - from maintaining the current span of operations, as well as options that increase or decrease the span of operations. Options that change the scope of WASA’s operations could incorporate portions of other related regional water and wastewater utility services currently operated by regional utilities, local governments, or the Washington Aqueduct Division of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. In addition to span of operations, the alternatives should consider alternative ownership, management, and governance configurations. It is the Board’s intention that this current study and evaluation build upon, and not merely replicate, the work done in the 2000 Study. The study should provide an updated assessment of the efficiency and effectiveness of the current Authority structure and how alternative structures impact the current level of overall efficiency and effectiveness. The study should also provide an explicit methodology, and use that methodology to perform a benefit assessment of the alternative structures. | ||
