Specifications include, but are not limited to: Task 1: Site Inventory and AnalysisConduct a site inventory and an analysis documenting historical and existing land uses and limitations. The inventory and analysis will include:•The land’s history as it relates to Native Americans, Indigenous and First Nations People; •A base map of existing infrastructure and amenities and natural resources; •Soil borings representative of any existing geological conditions within the park;•Documentation of any environmental hazards, their reported and possible extent, and impacts to development including site development; •Stormwater assessment including current challenges onsite and from adjacentproperties (if relevant) and determine permitting requirements;•Limitations to any development due to receipt of Land and Water Conservation Funds in 1972 and 1984 (As South Park); and•An understanding of current circulation both within and around the park by all modes of transportation. Task 2: Community EngagementPublic outreach throughout the Master Planning process will be supported by BPRW staff who will collaborate on outreach, advertising and play a supportive role at any planned events. It is anticipated that the selected consultant will coordinate with BPRW to identify the best approach to engage the community to identify community priorities. Emulating the BPRW public outreach process, three public meetings are anticipated: oOne informational / open house meeting to identify the needs/ wants at Calahan Park;oOne design charrette to share potential alternatives and solicit community feedback; oOne meeting to present advanced alternatives into a comprehensive set of recommendations of community- and stakeholder-driven ideas. Present alternatives to the public to garner feedback before a final preferred option is selected and refined.In addition, approaches to community engagement may include:oUser intercept surveys to collect feedback on both resident and user needs of CalahanPark throughout the project, including web-based-alternatives rather than solely in-person surveys. oDetermine the recreational needs of citizens for the project area, using historical data and information from BPRW and others.Approaches to community engagement within the context of COVID must include the ability to pivot from in-person meetings and identify creative, yet grounded approaches to soliciting input.Task 3: Plan DevelopmentConsultant will incorporate public, stakeholder and City Team feedback into a long-range implementation plan with cost estimates, and a recommended prioritization list of infrastructure improvements for each proposed improvement strategy.•Create a plan of connected uses, circulation and stormwater on the site based on stakeholder, community, and City staff feedback; •Create two to three conceptual plans for the site Informed by the public engagement process; •Integrate feedback into a final plan and project report, complete with high-level real-world cost estimates and design sketches; •Provide recommendations for project prioritization and potential long-term phasing; and•Based on the recommendations, provide estimates for removing, renovating or relocating viable amenities.
