OPPORTUNITIES FEASIBILITY ANALYSIS After the facility needs, community priorities, and public consensus are defined, we will discuss and evaluate with City Staff the short-term, intermediate and long-term opportunities to create new community recreation facilities. This opportunities analysis will include the creation of a citywide parks/trails/facilities opportunities map and evaluation of areas such as abandoned rights-of-way, drainage or flood control sites, vacant land, or reuse of existing parks lands as well as potential new or enhanced partnerships to maximize the communities existing resources. Promising opportunities yielded from this analysis will be further evaluated with conceptual park plans for underdeveloped or undeveloped parkland. COST ESTIMATES Construction cost estimates for development of new parks and/or facilities as well as recommended improvements at existing sites will be identified and presented. The Consultant Team will identify any property acquisition necessary to implement the recommended improvements and the City's real property agent will provide the estimated cost to acquire such properties. Costs associated with current facility deficiencies will be segregated from those necessitated by growth from new development or those that may be the result of increasing existing standards. SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES/MAINTENANCE&OPERATIONS PLAN RJM can develop and establish a vision for the development and operation of a sustainable park system for the City of Pleasanton. This task includes research on best practices, review of case studies, analysis of existing practices or policies, public input, input from key City leadership, and a strengths, opportunities, threats and weaknesses analysis(SWOT) that results in identifying a vision,goals and objectives for a park system that addresses environmental and economic sustainability. Recommendations can be prepared for specific sustainability practices for both new and rehabilitation projects, including ongoing sustainable operation and maintenance practices for incorporation into future bid requirements for maintenance suppliers, as well as design and construction guidelines for proposed new projects or project improvements that address environmental,economic and social sustainability goals. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN(CIF) The Consultant Team will prepare a Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) that forecasts at least six years of recommendations and will include acquisitions,development, preservation or rehabilitation projects. For each project, the anticipated year of implementation and funding opportunities would be identified. The OP can provide options for single year and multiple year funding scenarios based on priorities developed in the community needs assessment phase of the planning process. The sequencing of the recommended projects in the CIP will be coordinated with realistic time frames to put the recommended funding options into place and incorporate them into the City's annual budgeting process. For example, projects with dedicated funding sources may be incorporated into the CIP prior to projects that may have been a higher priority according to the community needs assessment,but do not have a dedicated funding source. FUNDING STRATEGIES Based on each recommended improvement cost to existing parks, recommended development cost of new parks, and the cost of each site identified for acquisition, the Consultant Team can perform an analysis of possible funding options and implementation strategies. The funding options analysis considers single and bundled grant opportunities,including matching grants; city capital improvement funds (park funds, development impact fees, general fund, etc); park bonds, revenue bonds, and lease purchase financing coupled with revenue alternatives; collaborative funding
