The firm of KPMG Peat Marwick would fulfill the role of an expert witness in the accounting field. Their services would involve the preparation of the wastewater revenue requirement numbers based on City records. Their background -in previous rate case work before the Texas Water Commission makes them uniquely qualified to perform this work. Additionally, they are capable of meeting the strict time schedule established by the Commission. It is proposed that the firm also assist City staff in the preparation of fiscal year 1990-1991 wholesale and retail water and wastewater rates . 1`he firm was also employed in 1989 to perform the cost of service study for the development of the wholesale wastewater rates currently in place. Principal elements of the warkplan would include: Review of existing documentation and work papers used to prepare the rates, the Arlington wastewater service contract and petitions filed by the City of Arlington as related ,to the rate case. ° Gather , review and analyze data needed for preparation of revenue. requirement study. ° Finalize revenue requirement report and prepare testimony for submission to the Texas Water Commission.
