PROJECT APPROACH
Task 2: Public Engagement
Our team will solicide input from potential users in the form of an online survey that will be de-
veloped and distributed in coordination with ADPAC and City Staff. We will create a draft survey
for committee review, publish, monitor, and host the survey using Survey Monkey, and compile
and analyze the results. To reach a wide audience, we will also publish a bi-lingual flier to distrib-
ute online and post on community message boards near the project area. ADPAC support will be
crucial for getting the survey link distributed to interested parties.
The content of the online community survey will be developed in collaboration with the City and
ADPAC to gain an understanding about potential users of the dog park. Examples of data that
may be collected include demographics of dog owners (age, whether they walk or drive to the
dog park, current use of the existing park, frequency, and time of day they would use the park);
information about their dogs (size, age, breed, activities the dogs enjoy), suggested amenities
(agility equipment, water features, etc.), and any concerns about the location. (Sample survey
items are provided in the Appendix.) Reviewing user input will help prioritize resources and en-
sure the elements incorporated in the conceptual design represent the community vision.
Task 2 Deliverable: Survey compilation and analysis
Task 3: Conceptual Design
Our Consultant Team will develop a draft conceptual design package including a color-rendered
and labeled site plan, a materials board to illustrate specified materials and amenities, a 3D visu-
alization of the dog park, and a rough order of magnitude cost estimate. A draft conceptual de-
sign package will be submitted to ADPAC and City Staff for review and comment. Comments will
be incorporated into the Final Report (Task
5). The conceptual design package will:
e Incorporate findings from Tasks 1 & 2.
e Incorporate best practices for urban
dog park design based on research and
personal experience.
e Accommodate site constraints (radio
tower infrastructure, wetlands, flood
hazards)
e Include a rough order of magnitude =
cost estimate, essentially a range
of probable development and ne
construction costs that depend ona
variety of criteria.
