User Fee Study Service

The County of Colusa, CA seeks a vendor to provide a user fee study service. The buyer requires the selected bidder to perform offsite work, developing a comprehensive countywide inventory of existing fees, service charges, and cost-recovery mechanisms. The vendor must evaluate current cost-recovery levels, identify efficiency opportunities, and create legally defensible fee recommendations with documented cost-of-service analyses. Additional responsibilities include building a transparent fee model for county staff to maintain, creating a consolidated master fee schedule, and providing policy options to the board of supervisors to reduce unnecessary general fund subsidies. Only onshore USA organizations are eligible to submit proposals. The buyer accepts digital responses via email or online, and bidders must submit all questions no later than September 23, 2026. The budget relies on incoming proposals.
