2. Scope of Services and Schedule 2.4 SITE ANALYSIS Based on site visits, review of background information, and the hydrological assessment, PlaceWorks will develop a comprehensive Site Analysis, including descriptive maps, diagrams, and graphics to clarify and illustrate existing conditions and identify key opportunities and constraints to be considered, The PlaceWorks team will additionally analyze the City's Concept Plan to determine feasibility and consistency with site opportunities and constraints. TASK 3. PUBLIC OUTREACH 3.1 PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT PLAN PlaceWorks will conduct a series of community outreach and engagement activities to gather community input about the design and site features. Our approach is focused on two rounds of engagement where the community can provide valuable input and contribute to decision making: Round 1, Schematic Design Alternatives; and Round 2, Preferred Concept. These rounds are described in greater detail in the tasks below. At the onset of the project, PlaceWorks will work with the City to develop a public engagement plan that outlines the details of the engagement work, including strategic partnerships that could be made to increase community participation, potentially including cohosting an event with KidWorks or presenting at the Bella Vista, Casa Bonita, Central City, and New Horizons Joint Neighborhood Association Meetings. PlaceWorks will additionally develop preliminary branding materials for the project for use during engagement events and for promotional materials. It is anticipated that all outreach materials will be printed in both Spanish and English and that the PlaceWorks team facilitating community events will communicate in both Spanish and English. 3.2 CITY STAFF MEETING #2: PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT PLAN PlaceWorks will facilitate a meeting with the City to review the engagement plan and promotional materials. At this meeting, the project team will confirm the approach for the project and schedule outreach events to allow for adequate time to promote and organize events. TASK 4.
