• Examine cost estimates and quantity schedules to ensure unit rates align with typical arterial cross-sections, applying engineering principles and judgment
• Assist in confirming the eligibility of claimed components under the Arterial Roadway Assessment (ARA) or Boundary Assessment programs, ensuring accuracy and preventing double claiming
• Work with the Development Assessment Working Committee to assist in designing and updating typical arterial cross-section components, such as turning bays and pipeline crossings
• Help identify and mitigate the risks of approving unit rates that are inconsistent with recent actual construction costs
• Perform calculations to establish interest rates for escalating Arterial Roadway Assessment and Drainage Assessment over-expenditures
• Review subdivision and development permit conditions to determine which programs (ARA, Boundary Assessment, and/or Offsite Levy) require assessment collection
• Confirm accessible areas using POSSE and GIS/mapping software, preparing necessary Arterial Roadway Assessment, Boundary Assessment, and Offsite Levy memos
• Assist in reviewing requests regarding changes to the ARA Bylaw (e.g., non-typical construction inclusion or obligation modifications) and help draft technical recommendations for the Committee
