Specifications include, but are not limited to: Task 1: Public Outreach Prior to Design and Site Planning Task 1 will consist of initial outreach efforts to the general public and specific stakeholder groups [City-County Parks Board, County Public Works Department, Northstar Homeowner’s Association, and North Valley Park Alliance] to identify topics and issues of concern that should be addressed in the Northstar Park Master Plan. The County currently anticipates holding up to four stakeholder group meetings and one public meeting, and facilitating a survey of both the general public and any interested parties before commencing Task 2: Design and Site Planning. Upon request by the County, the Consultant, using design deliverables prepared for Task 2, will prepare materials and presentations for public distribution, which may include Power Point presentations, web content, display boards, posters/flyers, brochures, and other materials as needed. Information from Task 1 will be summarized by the consultant in a written report and presented to Planning staff for review, edits, and comment. Following final edits, the consultant will deliver and present the report to the Parks Board. This summary report shall also be published on the Project website. Task 2: Design and Site Planning Task 2 will consist of design and site planning services, and will rely on information gathered in Task 1 to inform and design the Park Master Plan. Site planning services shall include detailed site configurations that incorporate parking, landscaping, open areas, sports fields, playgrounds, trails, and any buildings, and must include the location, height, dimensions, and setbacks for all structures/buildings. In addition, Task 2 must incorporate water conservation into the design, as water availability is limited in this area. Information from Task 2 will be summarized by the consultant in a written report that includes at least two DRAFT Site Plan scenarios for the Park Master Plan, along with their associated cost estimates, and presented to Planning staff for review, edits, and comment. Following final edits, the consultant will deliver and present the report to the Parks Board and County Commission. This summary report shall also be published on the Project website. For Task 2, the Consultant shall review the existing zoning for the Park, the Lewis and Clark County Growth Policy and its addendum Helena Valley Area Plan – Update, and the Lewis and Clark County Public Works Manual. Necessary elements and requirements must be incorporated into the two Site Plan scenarios and factored into the written report. Task 3: Public Outreach Post Design and Site Planning
