division heads for review/approval to ensure the descriptions meet divisional needs
and that there is linkage to divisional and departmental goals.
E. Identify the direction and the process of evaluating resource optimization (succession
planning) and preparing resources for fulfilling the department's mission for the future.
The most important aspects of the next implementation phase of this project are the
continued evaluation of processes by conducting additional process mappings of
SDPs/issues and the process of knowledge transfer to maximize resource optimization
as AUD authorized resource levels become more critical. This activity, which becomes
the Training Plan, will target various techniques for providing training in a myriad of
topics, the most important of which is continued and enhanced supervisory leadership
training. Others include but are not limited to safety, emergency response, security,
technical training and customer service. This activity is intended to be a road map of
activities which will be carried out in Phase 3.
F. Deliverable: First draft of business plan
Task 3 - Process Mapping
A. Functional teams consisting of those employees who are more directly involved in day-
to-day activities will focus on the top 10 SDP/Issues as determined by the core team in
Phase 1 of the project
1. Conduct process flow evaluations associated with each of the top 10
SDPs/ issues identified in Phase 1. Additional process flows may be done as
component of "Additional Services° noted below. It is assumed that up to 10
half-day process flow evaluation workshops will be conducted with separate
functional teams (4 to 6 people). Team members will be assigned based on job
responsibilities, a logical fit of needed and available skill sets, and staff more
directly involved in the day-to-day issues being evaluated. This task will

consist of facilitating the development of process maps of current and future
processes/issues by the functional teaxns.
For each process being evaluated and mapped, two separate mappings will
be developed. The first will entail a concentrated effort to develop the process
map to reflect the "as is' scenario, and will include details about how issues
and SDPs are currently addressed. The second, or "to be" scenario, will then
concentrate on parts of the "as is' scenario for which meaningful
improvements in the process can be made, including providing guidance for
those improvements.
2. Apply strengths/barriers/critical success factors analysis to SDPs/issues
with each of the functional teams. Both versions of the process maps will be
used to illustrate the advantages of using the "to be" options.
B. Facilitate the development of action plans with the functional teams tasked with
implementing SDP changes. Actions plans shall be formalized by the CONSULTANT
and will identify specific activities, owners and measurement metrics. It is assumed
that there will be approximately ten action plans developed.
1. Consolidate action plans to prevent duplication of efforts for each of the top ten
SDPs/Issues. Action plans shall be developed in such a way as to have the ability
to measure progress toward AUD's vision, mission and goals.
2. Distribute draft process maps and action plans to functional teams and the core
team for review and approval.
C. The secondary focus of this task is to expand onto the next 10 SDPs/issues as
prioritized by the core team in order to prepare for expansion of efforts for developing
a more comprehensive business plan. The purpose of this effort is to maintain the
momentum of the SDP process and the productivity of the process mapping while it is
still fresh on the staff's minds. This approach will prepare the core team and the small
functional teams to move smoothly into the next phase of the project. A part of this
process will be the preliminary assessments of appropriate functional teams and
suggested assignments and a further consolidation of the remaining SDPs/issues. This
shall be conducted as part of a half day project status meeting with the Core Team.
D. Deliverable: Completed process flows for those included as part of this task.

Proposed Scope of Services - Phase 3- Business Plan
Based on previous conversations with AUD staff, it is anticipated that one of the key attributes
for AUD to focus attention, after some level of completion of the Business Plan, on continued
line employee and leadership team development. The assessment completed in Phase 1, and
expanded upon in Phase 2 may identify other areas with equal or even greater priority, but
until that is completed, we have developed a general scope of work specifically to address
employee training and leadership issues and challenges. The specific objectives of this phase
may be revised based on the results of Phase 1 and Phase 2, but may include the following:
• Development, enhancement, and expansion of process flow diagram development
begun in Phase 2 for the next tier of high priority SDP activities
• Budget implications and other financial evaluations
• Customer service policy guidance
• Incorporation of "knowledge transfer' techniques into the retention plan and succession
plan
• Continued developments, enhancements, support, and implementation of the leadership
training program to facilitate knowledge transfer needs of AUD, to be accomplished in
conjunction with the Training Advisory Council
- Target all supervisory staff
- Active participation by the management team and CONSULTANT team in
training sessions and as teachers and leaders
- Coordinate the approval of training for certification credits
- Target one day of training per quarter for each supervisor
• Other training considerations
- Customer relations and customer services
- Safety
- Emergency response
- Security
- Technical/certification
• Update up to 10 SOPs as need is determined in Phase 2 work
Compensation for Phase 3 activities is not included in the Project Fee section for Phase 3-
Business Plan Scope of Services. To capture the tasks and work products with the highest
priorities for AUD, a detailed scope of services, schedule and budget estimate for Phase 3

Framework:
The framework proposed to be used to complete this project is consistent with the process
developed in the recent publication "Effective Utility Management - A Primer for Water and
Wastewater Utilities" ("EUM"). EUM identifies "Ten Attributes of Effectively Managed Water
Sector Utilities" and provides a process for assessing a utility's effectiveness in addressing each
of these attributes. These ten attributes will provide a framework for categorizing and
prioritizing AUD issues and areas of concern. The ten attributes are generally defined as
follows:
1. Product Quality - Produce potable water, treated effluent, and process residuals in
compliance with regulatory and reliability requirements and consistent with customer,
public health, and ecological needs.
2. Customer Satisfaction - Provide reliable, responsive and affordable services in line with
customer accepted service levels. Maintain responsiveness to customer needs and
emergencies.
3. Employee and Leadership Development - Recruit and retain a competent and motivated
work force. Provide opportunities for professional and leadership development. Ensure
employee institutional knowledge is retained and improved upon over time.
4. O�erational Optimization - Ensure timely, cost-effective, reliable and sustainable
performance. Minimize resource use and loss in day to day operations. Anticipate and
support timely adoption of improvements.
5. Financial Viabilitv - Maintain an effective balance between long-term debt, operating
revenues and expenses, and asset values. Establish rates consistent with community
expectations and acceptability, yet adequate to recover costs, provide for reserves, maintain
support from rating agencies, and invest in future needs.
6. Infrastructure Stabilitv - Maintain and enhance the condition of assets over the long term
with the lowest possible life-cycle cost, acceptable risk, and consistent with anticipated
growth and system reliability goals. Assure asset repair and replacement do not disrupt
community and create negative consequences.
7. Operational ResiliencX - Utility leadership and staff work together to anticipate and avoid
problems (legal, regulatory, financial, environmental, safety, security, and natural disaster.)
8. Community Sustainabilitv - Attentive to the impacts that decisions have on long-term
future community and watershed health and welfare.
9. Water Resource AdequacX - Ensures water availability consistent with current and future
needs through long-term resource supply planning and conservation.
10. Stakeholder Understandin� and Su�port - Proactive efforts to develop understanding and
support from oversight and regulatory bodies related to service levels, rate structures,
27 OF 36 REVISION DATE: June 2011
UTILITIES DEPARTMENT
_�— - :i�=��c-
G E� O R G I A
budgets, capital needs and risk management. Actively involves stakeholders in the decisions
that will affect them.
In addition to the Ten Attributes, EUM identifies several Keys of Management Success which
are also proposed to be used as part of the framework for this project. T'he Keys to Management
Success are comprised of management approaches that have proven to be successful historically
in managing utilities more effectively. These keys will help to integrate AUD's improvement
efforts on issues outlined in the Attributes. The Keys to Management Success are listed below:
1. Leadership
2. Strategic business planning
3. Organizational approaches
4. Measurement
5. Continual improvement management framework
Note: Effective Utility Management (EUM) was created in May 2007 by six major water and
wastewater organizations and the U.S. Environxnental Protection Agency. The six organizations
include: Water Environment Federation (WEF), American Public Works Association (APWA),
American Water Works Association (AWWA), National Association of Water Companies
(NAWC), National Association of Clean Water Agencies (NACWA), and Association of
Metropolitan Water Agencies (AMWA). Effective Utility Management is designed to help water
and wastewater utility managers make practical, systematic changes to achieve excellence in
utility performance.
