METHODOLOGY TASK 1: PROJECT MANAGEMENT Objective: To provide effective management of the project throughout the two -month schedule and actively work with the City of Santa Ana to develop a successful end product for this work effort. Key Issues: This project will involve developing a comprehensive parking plan for the SARTC within a two -month period, and will include numerous stakeholders and interested parties, including various city departments, residents, property owners, and business owners within and surrounding the SARTC. Each stakeholder will have unique interests and opinions regarding the opportunities and constraints that exist related to parking. Balancing the inputs, concerns, and perspectives of these various groups will be essential to ensuring that the project progresses in the timely matter and that the primary project goals are achieved. Approach: The project management effort involves ongoing coordination between the consultant and City staff to ensure that the project proceeds on schedule and that project work efforts and deliverables are completed on -time and up to the quality expected by the client. To help ensure appropriate tracking and monitoring of the project work effort and schedule, we propose to conduct bi- weekly progress conference calls or meetings that would involve at a minimum IBI's Project Manager and the City's Project Manager. These meetings would be an opportunity to discuss upcoming action items, current deliverables, and planned meetings with stakeholders and the community. Prior to each meeting, IBI Group will prepare an update to the project schedule and maintain and update a project action items list that documents the current work efforts, anticipated completion dates, and next steps. (deliverables: • Bi- Weekly Project Update Conference Calls /Meetings • Monthly Invoicing and Progress Reports TASK 2. REVIEW EXISTING FACILITY AND OPERATIONS Objective: To review existing relevant documents, plans, and studies provided by the City and understand existing parking conditions and facility operations at the SARTC. Key Issues: Understanding the existing parking conditions and operations at SARTC, including planned improvements proposed in other studies will be critical in developing a comprehensive parking plan that meets the needs of all users, tenants, and the City. The parking studies that have been conducted at SARTC are fairly recent, however, detailed data related to existing parking demand and utilization patterns is important as well to quantify the potential and actual impacts of parking and provide input into the development of recommendations for parking pricing strategies.
