Request for Proposals - Comprehensive User Fee Study

The City of Camarillo is seeking a qualified consultant to establish a three-year contract focused on conducting a comprehensive user fee study and providing ongoing support throughout the contract duration. The primary goal is to ensure that the city's user fee structure remains accurate, cost-effective, legally compliant—particularly with Proposition 218—and aligned with the changing costs of service delivery and organizational needs. The city emphasizes innovation and technical precision, encouraging proposers to propose their own methodologies and approaches that best meet these objectives, with final deliverables expected to be clear, well-documented, and practical for city staff use. The solicitation was posted on August 8, 2025, with a deadline for responses set for August 28, 2025. The contract size is estimated to range between $50,000 and $150,000. The project is managed by the City of Camarillo’s Finance Purchasing department, and interested vendors can find additional details and submit proposals through the designated online portal. This initiative aims to ensure the city’s fee structures are current, justified, and compliant, supporting effective financial management and organizational transparency.
