Of that <br />total over 30 have been studies and construction projects of public works facilities. <br />In addition to our experience Ron Hilton with Facility Maintenance Consultants, who <br />is a national expert is part of our team in public works planning. I have attached his <br />firm's information with this proposal. <br />The information in the proposal shows the steps we would typically propose for <br />these types of studies. However our goal is to tailor our approach to fit the City's <br />and department's objectives, to achieve that we welcome the opportunity to review <br />this in detail and refine as appropriate. <br />Our studies are structured to develop thorough and accurate data to help the City <br />and Council in making informed decisions on how best to approach possible options <br />and cost associated with long range planning. <br />The planning steps we would propose to assist the City in looking at existing <br />conditions, operational planning and long range master planning are as follows: <br />A. DISCOVERY PHASE <br />At the start of the study we will request copies of the following information to <br />start to get familiar with your facility and operations prior to our kick off <br />meeting. <br />1. Public Works organizational chart and staffing <br />2. All operations performed by Public Works <br />3. List of all current and planned public works equipment <br />4. List and size of any remote storage areas not associated with a <br />facility. <br />5. List of all city vehicles and equipment sorted by department and <br />location. <br />6. List of items currently in cold storage. <br />7. Infrastructure statistics. e.g. lane miles, miles of storm piping, miles <br />of water distribution, number of signalized intersections <br />8. Past 2 years of utility cost <br />9. Existing site and building plans <br />B. FACILITY ASSESSMENT <br />This step involves an architectural and engineering assessment of the <br />buildings, their conditions, code compliance and energy usage. <br />1 <br />
