Rate Methodology. Contractor shall provide, upon Covered California’s request, in connection with any contract negotiation or recertification process as reasonably requested by Covered California, detailed documentation on Covered California-specific rate development methodology. Contractor shall provide justification, documentation, and support used to determine rate changes, including providing adequately supported cost projections. Cost projections include factors impacting rate changes, assumptions, transactions, and other information that affects the Covered California specific rate development process. Information pertaining to the key indicators driving the medical factors on trends in medical, pharmacy, or other healthcare Provider costs may also be requested to support the assumptions made in forecasting and may be supported by information from the Plan’s actuarial systems pertaining to the Covered California-specific account.
Rate Methodology. Contractor shall provide, upon the Exchange’s request, in connection with any contract negotiation or recertification process as reasonably requested by the Exchange, detailed documentation on the Exchange-specific rate development methodology. Contractor shall provide justification, documentation and support used to determine rate changes, including providing adequately supported cost projections. Cost projections include factors impacting rate changes, assumptions, transactions and other information that affects the Exchange specific rate development process. Information pertaining to the key indicators driving the medical factors on trends in medical, pharmacy or other healthcare Provider costs may also be requested to support the assumptions made in forecasting and may be supported by information from the Plan’s actuarial systems pertaining to the Exchange-specific account.
Rate Methodology. The rates subsequent to the Initial Rates, excluding the Raw Water Rate that Grand Prairie pays to Arlington for Treated Water shall be calculated in a Cost of Service Study in accordance with the methodology described below. The rate methodology set forth in the principles below is hereby specifically agreed to between Arlington and Grand Prairie.
Rate Methodology. Rates for delivery of water will be assessed to Members and non-Members that receive deliveries of water from the Authority in a manner which reasonably recovers the cost to serve each Member and non-Member. Costs recovered through other fees or charges, such as connection or system development charges, participation charges, or reimbursements are not included in the calculation of the revenue requirements for rates, but instead will be credited to the Member or non- Member depending upon the source of the payment. Generally the rate setting process will include: (i) a determination of the total amount of revenue required to be generated from rates (“Revenue Requirements from Rates”); (ii) allocation of the Revenue Requirements from Rates between the Members and any Non-Members, based on relative water demands and capacity needs of such Members and Non-Members; (iii) the design of water rates may include but is not limited to a fixed service charge and a volumetric charge per thousand gallons of water delivered. These charges will be designed to recover from each Member and non-Member within practical limits, the cost to serve the same.
Rate Methodology. Tigard will be responsible for calculation of rates and charges, including system development charges, as related to the Water Supply System. Tigard will adopt rates in accordance with the current edition of the American Water Works Association Principles of Water Rates, Fees, and Charges (known as M1 standards), including any system-related debt coverage requirements. Tigard will include in the rates such amounts it deems necessary for the operation, maintenance, repair and replacement of the Distribution System located within King City’s boundaries. Tigard and King City users shall obtain service at the same rates and on the same terms and conditions.
Rate Methodology. Each of the SSR Parties shall pay to the Racine Utility, for Sewer Service provided under this Agreement, Sewer Service rates and other sewerage service charges which shall be established by the Wastewater Commission on an annual basis as hereinafter provided. Such rates shall provide for recovery by the Wastewater Commission, from each such Party, of such Party’s fair proportionate share of the annual costs of OMR, Existing Capital Costs, and Future Capital Costs that are treated like Existing Capital Costs in accordance with this Agreement (e.g. the Capital Costs of the Deficiency Work and the Capital Costs of Minor Unplanned Upgraded Sewer Service Facilities that are treated by the Wastewater Commission like Existing Capital Costs) in accordance with the methodology set forth on the attached Exhibit H, which is incorporated by reference, for the particular budget year. The Wastewater Commission shall be entitled to recover depreciation and ROI relating to Existing Capital Costs or to any Capital Costs treated like Existing Capital pursuant to this Agreement. The wholesale Sewer Service rates and charges imposed by the Wastewater Commission on the Outlying SSR Parties shall be the same as those imposed upon Racine, except as may be required by law or may reflect distinctly different services, and the costs of OMR work performed by the Racine Utility on the Collection Facilities of Racine or any other Parties or non-Party Anticipated Parties (including, without limitation, equipment, materials and labor) which shall be kept strictly separate from the costs of OMR work on the Sewer Service Facilities, shall be separately accounted for in the annual audit conducted pursuant to Section 12.1 of this Agreement, and shall be charged to the Parties or non-Parties receiving such services. The Wastewater Commission may fine tune the application of this basic rate methodology to fit new facts and circumstances, as they develop over time, in accordance with this Agreement, but the Wastewater Commission shall not change the basic methodology without the written consent of the SSR Parties. The Wastewater Commission may charge individual SSR Parties for the costs of dealing with individual problems relating to that Party alone, e.g. the discharge of substantial quantities of oil or grease which clogs an Interceptor. The Wastewater Commission shall not individually charge a SSR Party for unpaid pretreatment charges incurred by an Industrial user within its territory.
