PROJECT APPROACH
e Recommend products and materials for surfacing, fencing, lighting, signage, plantings, and
site furnishing amenities (benches, shade structures, waste receptacles, etc).
e Develop a project timeline from design through construction.
Task 3 Deliverables: Conceptual Design Package
Task 4: Operations and Maintenance Planning
Having a realistic operations and maintenance plan is essential for any public dog park to be
successful and sustainable in the long term. To this end, our Consultant Team will help ADPAC
and the City develop sustainability goals and operations and maintenance plans for the dog park.
Under Task 4, our Consultant Team will:
e Conduct thorough research into best practices for sustainable dog waste management
(interviews with dog park management staff, internet research, etc). Along with the findings
from Tasks 1&2, this will serve as the basis for recommendations for a waste management
system.
e Develop dog park policy recommendations by researching what has and has not worked well
at other similar dog parks.
e Compile an operations and management checklist with associated annual operating costs.
e Identify funding strategies for dog park construction and ongoing management, including
grant opportunities and naming opportunities for creative donor solicitations (eg. “buy a
brick” campaign). The graphics developed for the final report will assist with fundraising
efforts by providing a clear vision for potential donors.
Task 4 Deliverables: Dog park policy
recommendations, Operations and
Maintenance Plan including sustainable dog
waste management system.
Task 5: Final Report
The final report will be a full-color PDF with a
cover, executive summary, recommendations,
and appendices. The graphic-heavy report
will rely on concise recommendations
and bulleted lists to clearly and quickly
convey the developed information and
recommendations. The final conceptual
design package, updated to address
comments from Task 3, will be included in the report. It will provide a thorough summary of the
work completed to date and it will chart a path forward. A draft of the final report will be made
available to ADPAC and City Staff for review and comment prior to finalizing the report.
Task 5 Deliverable: Final report in PDF format.
