<br />Mr. Arroyo and Selection Committee:
<br />GreenPlay, LLC, is pleased to submit our proposal to develop a Service and Financial Sustainability Assessment
<br />for the City of Santa Ana's Parks, Recreation, and Community Services Agency. GreenPlay has been providing
<br />financial assessments, strategies, and related services for Parks, Recreation, and Community Services
<br />Departments in California and around the country since 1999. We have developed very effective and efficient
<br />ways of communicating, producing and delivering high quality service, ensuring that your community is receiving
<br />the highest return on investment possible in this important work. We have worked with over 500 communities
<br />on various plans, using ourtools and methodologies, and still treat each one as unique, providing customized
<br />community -specific results. Our team has completed similar projects in Southern California including recent
<br />completion of a Financial Sustainability Plan for the City of Encinitas and a Services and Financial Sustainability
<br />Plan for the City of Irvine.
<br />Our proposed team will include Chris Dropinski, CPRE, as Principal -in -Charge, Art Thatcher, MPA, CPRP, as
<br />Project Manager, and Daniel Hopkins, CPRP, as Project Consultant. We keep in close contact with our clients and
<br />make a commitment that we remain available to you and will be in contact with you long after the project is
<br />complete to address questions and challenges, share new insights from other clients and our continuing work -
<br />all with no additional charges, unless additional tasks are requested.
<br />Planning, Financial, and Operational Solutions
<br />We understand that the current economic climate is driving agencies to examine "why" as well as "how"
<br />they use the taxpayer investment, and that many agencies are either doing more with less or are trying to
<br />be financially sustainable while offering more services. Sometimes agencies have the resources to complete
<br />this kind of citizen -centric, systemic philosophical work on their own, and sometimes they require objective
<br />assistance. We would like to help you actualize this goal by providing you with this innovative and tested scope
<br />of work, tools, and methodologies for your consideration. To do so, we will utilize facilitation of a specific
<br />nationally -accepted process, the Pyramid Methodology. It is now being utilized at agencies and is being taught
<br />in universities and continuing education realms across the country to help effectively address the issues you are
<br />seeking to solve. We have had many satisfied clients who have successfully implemented this methodology.
<br />We have put together this scope of work based on our understanding of your current need, and based on our
<br />experience of delivering effective services. We would like the opportunity to discuss with you what we can do to
<br />help you in assuring continued community services funding and a sustainable future! If you have any additional
<br />questions, please feel free to contact me at the number listed below. This proposal is valid for 120 days
<br />following submittal. We have received Addendum 1.
