Dear Mr. Cosh and Members of the Selection Committee:

GreenPlay, LLC, is pleased to present our proposal to create a needs assessment to determine community needs for cultural arts and veterans programs and services. We are excited for the opportunity to help you determine how best to offer these programs and services in your City and County while providing value to the community. Our team will collaborate with you and your community to develop a plan that is implementable and tailored to residents of Santa Clarita. Since 1999, GreenPlay has developed similar needs assessments for recreation, arts, and cultural services, and related projects for nearly 600 communities in California and throughout the country.

To help the City of Santa Clarita meet and exceed all of your goals for this plan, we have assembled a comprehensive team to address each of your desired outcomes, including recommendations that will help determine accurate needs for a community arts center and additional veterans services. This team blends local and technical knowledge with GreenPlay’s experience and expertise in parks and recreation operations. The team includes:

• GreenPlay: Art Thatcher, MPA, CPRP, and Jeff Milkes, MS, CPRPWe are management planners focusing on project management and coordination, community and stakeholder engagement, financial analysis, and development of final recommendations. Project Manager Jeff Milkes has experience running arts programs and facilities, as well as recreational and other programs for active and former military members.

• RRC Associates: Chris CaresRRC Associates will design and implement a statistically-valid survey as part of the community and stakeholder engagement portion of the plan. RRC has developed surveys for over 100 similar projects with GreenPlay.

We look forward to the opportunity to apply the same skills to assess your community’s needs for arts, cultural, and veterans programs and develop innovative, yet implementable recommendations with you. Once completed, this plan will guide the City and County with planning, funding, creating and programming a future Arts/Culture and Veterans Center. I will serve as primary contact person during the proposal and contracting. If you have any questions related to this proposal, please feel free to contact me at the number listed below. I am authorized to represent GreenPlay.

Project: This Needs Assessment project provided an accurate assessment of community needs and desires for recreation programming and to re-vision recreation service delivery to San Marino citizens. The City of San Marino, Community Services Department had been working for several years to re-vision the Recreation Division to better serve the citizens of San Marino. The Division offers an abundance of cultural and arts programs to residents. In order to develop an in-depth and current picture of recreation needs that should be fulfilled by the Recreation Division, the City engaged the public through focus groups and stakeholder meetings, as well as a comprehensive statistically-valid survey. The outcome of this project was a set of areas of focus and action steps that will allow the City to continue to improve how it provides recreation services and programs to residents and visitors.

GREATER VALLEJO RECREATION DISTRICT MASTER PLAN

Reference:Gabe Lanusse, General Manager395 Amador St.Vallejo, CA 94590(707) 648-4603 [email protected]

Project: This Master Plan has been created as a 10-year comprehensive blueprint for providing quality recreation services, parks, open spaces, facilities, and programs throughout the Greater Vallejo Recreation District (GVRD). The objectives of the Master Plan are to establish goals, procedures, and comprehensive achievable strategies and implementation approaches that directly impact residents’ quality of life over a ten-year term and beyond.

The GVRD operates as a special district to provide recreational services and manage parks and open spaces, owned by the City of Vallejo. While the District does not own the parks, it has autonomous responsibility for management based on an agreement with the City. The project consisted of community engagement, a facility inventory, GRASP® level of service analysis, a needs assessment, operational, recreation and organizational analysis, and development of recommendations. Due to COVID 19 meeting restrictions, public engagement for this plan was completed virtually using a combination of Zoom and social media engagement. TeammembersincludedLandDesignandRRCAssociates.

1.1.3 | Plan Study/Scope of Work

The City of Santa Clarita is home to about 225,000 with an additional 75,000 residents who live in the Santa Clarita Valley. Your Recreation and Community Resources Department currently offers a variety of classes and other development programs to these residents at two community centers.

We understand that Santa Clarita residents value the cultural heritage of the city and have been provided arts and cultural programming for decades. This Needs Assessment was recommended as part of your Arts Master Plan. It will allow you to assess community need for arts, cultural, and veterans programs and services. It will determine the feasibility of building a new center specifically dedicated to culture, arts, and veterans programs and services, allowing you to remain competitive with other municipalities in the area.

Our team is comprised of individuals who have managed these types of facilities. We are proposing as lead to serve as an unbiased third party with no inherent benefit in making recommendations.

To help you meet and exceed all of your goals for this plan, we will conduct the following scope of work. Tasks are described with each subtask in bold. Outputs are described in each section.

ProjectApproach

A. PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Strategic Kick Off (SKO) and Determination of Critical Success FactorsTo complete the Needs Assessment for Arts, Culture, and Veterans for the City of Santa Clarita, GreenPlay will schedule a Strategic Kick Off meeting to review Project objectives, approach, schedule and provide a Detailed Work Plan, following the award of a contract and execution of the Professional Services Agreement. At this meeting, we will define the process, identify known issues/concerns, review the details of the work plan, budgets, relevant information from previous and/or current planning documents, formalize the timeline and detail phases of the amenities study, including accepted methodologies and tasks, final number and types of meetings, expected quality and formats for deliverables, and agreement on goals and priorities. We will work with your team to finalize a timeline and review the details for the community involvement and the anticipated approval process.

Project CoordinationWe will work closely with your team during Start-Up to identify key “Critical Success Factors” that will help ensure that this project is successful and achieves your desired level of involvement and outcomes. We will provide written Monthly Progress Reports that cover recent progress, outstanding items or information needed, and upcoming meetings and agendas. We will always be available for video conferencing, phone, or email communication. GreenPlay has successfully completed nearly 600 projects since 1999, and we pride ourselves on never having missed a project end date due to internal workloads. We want to be as timely and efficient as possible, while also being thorough and complete.

Following the SKO, we will begin by working closely with city representatives and proposed user groups to identify specific issues while discussing various problem-solving approaches. As a team, we:

• Combine the expertise of GreenPlay with the client’s understanding of issues.

• Seek and value the input of all stakeholders in the project.

• Seek creative opportunities to involve the city representatives in the information gathering stage.

• Evaluate the anticipated parameters for the project.

• Seek and define the best, most effective opportunities.

You can count on GreenPlay being increibly responsive to your needs, desires and project timeline. Our expectations are that we will work closely with the City Project Manager and staff. We will provide a list of needed documents at the beginning of the project and will ask that the City coordinate invitations to the stakeholder and focus group meeting participants. We will ask the City to review and approve tasks during the planning process.

Information Gathering - City Policy and Document ReviewOur team will collect as much information as possible on awareness, use patterns, satisfaction, desires, barriers, vision, priorities, funding possibilities, and willingness to pay, so as to inform the development of the needs assessment. As it pertains to the project, we will integrate information from recent and/or current planning work completed by the City of Santa Clarita, including:

12 GreenPlay, LLC

• Arts Master Plan• Santa Clarita General Plan• Individual Park Master Plans

The planning process will consolidate relevant information from these planning documents, and from budgets, work plans, and funding plans utilized by the City to facilitate the comprehensive coordination of goals and priorities for the Arts, Culture, and Veterans Needs Assessment.

B. COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND VISIONING

GreenPlay will meet with members of the Santa Clarita community, particularly veterans, to determine their programming needs. We believe deeply in creating an in-depth, efficient and cost-effective citizen-focused process as part of all projects. We utilize a detailed and well-developed stakeholder methodology that helps identify all the needs, issues,

and opportunities for your community. Our team will explore knowledge of local issues and concerns that will assist in producing useful and pertinent community feedback.

We will work with the Project Team during Start-Up to schedule all necessary meetings and project tasks and to arrange proper noticing of meeting(s) associated with the plan’s development. GreenPlay’s consultant team will review all prepared information for the meetings with the Project Manager prior to a scheduled meeting.

The participation process utilized will be customized to your organization’s unique situation, emphasizing data collection methods that are efficient, effective, and that incorporate your available resources to the greatest extent possible.

COVID-19 CONSIDERATIONS

GreenPlay has been successfully completing projects including community engagement throughout the Covid-19 Pandemic. We are very sensitive to local conditions and phasing guidelines. All in-person engagement will be conducted with appropriate social distancing protocols, and we can conduct virtual engagement through various methods.

GREENPLAY PROVIDES MOEGreenPlay offers even more ways to reach your community through Mobile-Optimized Engagement (MOE). These innovative strategies help solve one of the most common reasons people don’t attend meetings – lack of time. In addition, these tools capitalize on reaching 81% of Americans of all demographics in the most convenient manner, to which they have access throughout the day – their smartphone.

Now, your community members don’t have to come to a public meeting. We recognize that not everyone would prefer (or have access to) technology, and we love our in-person contacts, but many community members are accustomed to doing things online. They can participate comfortably wherever they are. This allows us to engage additional people who typically won’t come to public meetings – those with kids, lack of transportation, demanding schedules, or many other reasons, and we can solicit their opinion and involvement in a new way. We have successfully conducted virtual engagement on similar projects, so there is no learning curve.

The following methods and tools can be customized for your situation:

• Online Public Meeting: We can schedule the online public meeting so that anyone who is not able to attend in-person can participate through an online engagement tool Zoom. The online meeting is facilitated in a way that informs and engages participants by inviting feedback through chat features and informal polling. Participants receive a link and the time, and a recording of the meeting can be distributed and posted after the event.

• Public Meeting Livestream: During one of our on-site public meetings, for an additional fee, GreenPlay can livestream the meeting using either Facebook Live or Zoom. Using the chat feature, participants can ask questions and provide feedback. Typically, livestreams do not require registration, and the date/time of the event is advertised prior to the meeting.


GreenPlay staff members are experienced and skilled facilitators, and we draw from a variety of methodologies that are designed to encourage and structure feedback for clearly identified and measurable outcomes. A suggested approach is provided; however, the actual methodology will be customized, detailed and determined during Strategic Kick-Off.

Based on previous successes, the following community involvement strategy approach is designed to assure City Staff, City Council, veterans, County Veterans Affairs representatives, 5th District office, Arts Commission members, Recreation and Cultural Services employees, the County Arts Commission, College of the Canyons Veterans Services representatives, independent artistic stakeholders, local veterans groups, and other stakeholders that they are provided an opportunity to participate in the development of the plan, and is recommended for this project:• Initial Information Gathering: Collect as much

information as possible on awareness, use patterns, satisfaction, need for additional park amenties, barriers, vision, and priorities, so as to inform the development of the statistically-valid needs assessment survey.

• A minimum of three (3) focus group meetings drawing from user individuals, special interest

groups, associations, staff, other service providers, and all age groups, etc., but also open to the public at large. We will conduct separate focus groups with arts and culture stakeholders and with veterans in order to focus on the specific needs of each group. This method ensures a nucleus of participants with vested interest while also encouraging others to participate.

• Two (2) community-wide public workshop meetings to provide information, elicit broad-based community input, and to validate information received from the focus groups.

• Stakeholder interviews with those who can contribute specific information that may need to be conveyed in a more detailed manner (might include representatives from existing facilities, city staff, City Council, etc.).

• Statistically-Valid Survey – see full description.• Findings Presentation: We will compile and

present a summary of findings from the facility inventory, needs assessment and initial analysis for validation by city staff, City Council, stakeholders, and the community.

• Draft Report Presentation: We will compile and present a comprehensive draft report for validation by city staff, City Council, stakeholders, and the community.

• Final Presentation to city staff and City Council: Hearing, open to the public.

GreenPlay staff members function as professional, unbiased facilitators to gather specific information about services, use, and preferences, along with amenities, strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. Participant feedback indicates to us that our techniques and formats are well received and provide them with the opportunity to better understand the planning process and make a meaningful contribution, resulting in the feeling that attending an input session was a good use of someone’s valuable time. We are well aware of the misuse of the public process that results in frustration over having to attend too many sessions or not feeling like the time was well spent, or that a person or group of people monopolized the meeting time. Our sessions are designed to avoid these common pitfalls.

We help to build consensus and support for the plan by identifying, up-front, the project “givens” or parameters; making the participants aware of the process from start to finish, including where they have opportunities to contribute and who will be making final decisions; allowing and encouraging participants to hear from one another; and identifying common ground as the plan evolves. Knowing consensus is not always possible, we encourage participants to think about what they can “live with” if their ideal desire is not able to be met, and we convey information for informed decision making to the City Council and interested Commissions.

We provide written records and summaries of the results of all community input process and communications strategies appropriate for posting to the City’s website.

Statistically-Valid Community-wide Survey GreenPlay will work with RRC Associates (RRC), an experienced survey research firm located in Boulder, Colorado, to create a geographically diverse survey to be mailed to approximately 3,000 households in the City (depending upon available budget, desired level of accuracy, and level of sub-community segmentation required). The survey will provide critical information for determining community values, satisfaction levels, needs and priorities, and demographics for the City’s long range planning efforts. The primary approach we would propose would be a mail survey of City residents.

RRC will also provide a web-based survey, along with the mail survey process and retain the integrity of the statistical validity. Citizens would be given the option of either completing the survey form mailed to them or accessing the survey online using an individual passcode assigned to each household that would be included in the mailed survey. We frequently use this technique for related community surveys and find it to be effective in maintaining the random sample while also increasing opportunities for respondents to complete the survey. Additionally, the survey would be made available to a larger audience through an “open” web site. We would not merge the “open” web data with the results from the random survey. Instead, the “open” web survey would be designed to expand community input opportunities, as essentially everyone in the community would have access to completing a survey, even if they did not receive one of the random surveys in the mail.

Questions would be drafted based on information gleaned in the public involvement process as well as from staff, community leaders, and Parks and Recreation Commission input. We will ask questions about what types of amenities and services residents want in City parks, level of current usage, providers of services, quality and satisfaction levels with existing amenities and facilities, priorities, and willingness to pay for new services and facilities. These questions will be supplemented with questions about specific, identified community issues, as deemed appropriate. RRC would typically create a survey of 4 pages in length (including cover letter). To help improve response rates, we would also anticipate that the City would assist with marketing and creating public awareness of the survey through media and other channels, such as local newspaper, radio, cable TV, the City web site, and so on.

We have substantial experience in designing surveys specifically for parks issues that are effective and representative of the users and non-users. The survey will be well written and easily understood, and the results of overall needs will be tallied and summarized. All respondent comments will be included in the final report.

16 GreenPlay, LLC

Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) AnalysisTo develop a short and long-term strategy for the future planning of the Santa Clarita’s arts, culture, and veterans programs and services provisions, we will conduct a SWOT Analysis. A SWOT Analysis is an effective and realistic way of identifying the market Strengths and internal and external Weaknesses, and for examining the Opportunities and Threats faced by the organization. This process will help to identify any deficiencies in the provision of park facilities and amenities, and it will also help to identify potential partners in the service area.

Project Manager, Jeff Milkes dedicated fifteen years overseas to serving active duty, retirees and their family members in various Morale, Welfare and Recreation roles for the Army, Navy and Marines, retiring as Chief of Community Recreation on a base in Germany. We are uniquely positioned to complete this critical needs assessment.

We will study the needs, gaps and opportunities and provide recommendations that intersect veterans’ needs and creative arts programs. We will study the needs of local veterans through a survey and community input, to determine needs for creative arts, adaptive sports, recreation therapy, and various support programs. We will look at potential partnerships with the Veterans Administration and other Veterans groups to identify the best program possible. We will study and make recommendations for partnerships and funding opportunities and look at events and activities that can assist with the transition from active duty.

C. ARTS, CULTURE, AND VETERANS PROGRAMMING TREND ANALYSIS

GreenPlay will conduct a complete demographic analysis utilizing all information available from the previous planning efforts, the U.S. Census Bureau, Esri, and other national and local sources. We will portray relevant demographic information in easy to read charts and figures with analysis of important topics that will impact parks and recreation service delivery. In addition to informing our goals and priorities, we utilize the demographics to customize our approach to your community, including adjustments in our outreach efforts to include specific sub-segments of your population.

Trends analysis helps evaluate demographic shifts and their impact on future parks and amenities. This analysis helps identify regional interest and participation levels for a variety of activities; how services are provided through both administrative and planning trends; and how arts and culture amenities, programs, and events compare to national and regional trends, along with trends that are popular with veteran communities and VA services and facilities. We will complete a benchmarking analysis of local agencies to provide perspective to make management decisions.

D. PROGRAMMING AND SPACE ANALYSIS

Our team will create an assessment of programming needs and spaces as well as operational requirements needed to provide services at existing locations.

Community Needs Assessment − Rank and Prioritize Demand and OpportunitiesUsing the results of the community survey, focus groups, stakeholder meetings, needs assessment, current level of service, current capacity and future growth, standards, and classifications analysis, GreenPlay will identify and prioritize the unmet arts, cultural and veterans services needs in the community. The gaps in arts, cultural and veterans services programming can be identified using the nexus of unmet need and high importance.

We will include a prioritization of each potential improvement, grouped into three priorities (1-3).Priorities will be assigned based on existing park conditions and needs based on community input provided during the community meetings and surveys.• Priority 1: 0-5 years• Priority 2: 10-15 years• Priority 3: 20 years or more

Each potential improvement will also be described in detail including the need, the purpose, the steps to complete the improvement, and the projected cost. The provided details will serve as a planning document for future Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) and maintenance projects.


E. DRAFT REPORT AND PRESENTATION

Draft Plan and PresentationGreenPlay will work with you to provide a draft Needs Assessment that outlines and prioritizes options for the new facility. This plan will include tables, graphs, illustrations, concept designs, photos, and other information. While the draft report is comprehensive regarding the prioritized options, the balance of the report provides detailed backup information.

If desirable, we will also make a presentation of the Draft Needs Assessment as well as an open public forum to include community stakeholders. Any revisions to the draft budget will be incorporated into the final budget.

F. FINAL REPORT AND PRESENTATIONS

Final Plan and DeliverablesAll relevant comments on the draft recommendations will be incorporated into your final report, and as necessary, we will assist in guiding the Needs Assessment through the formal adoption process, including review and recommendation by the City Council for review and acceptance.

Deliverables Deliverables will include all aspects outlined in the preceding tasks, summarized as:

• A detailed work plan identifying a schedule for completion.

• One (1) printed and one (1) electronic copy of the Draft shall be provided for distribution and review.

• Appropriate written materials and graphics (maps, slides, power point presentations, etc.) will be provided for public presentations.

• One (1) printed and one electronic (1) copy of the Citywide Parks Needs Assessment.

• All deliverables will be submitted in a format compatible with the City’s software.

NOTICE TO PROPOSERS REGARDING CONTRACTUAL REQUIREMENTS

PROPOSAL # NS-20-21-29

Needs Assessment for Arts/Culture Veterans Center

1. SUMMARY OF CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS a. A contract is required for any service performed on behalf of the City. Contract

language will be negotiated upon acceptance of proposal and prior to commencement of work. Work cannot begin until the contract has been fully executed by both parties.

2. SUMMARY OF INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS

a. These are the Insurance Requirements for Consultants providing services or supplies to the City. By agreeing to perform the work or submitting a proposal, you verify that you comply with and agree to be bound by these requirements. When Contract documents are executed, the actual Contract language and Insurance Requirements may include additional provisions as deemed appropriate by City’s Risk Manager.

b. You should check with your Insurance advisors to verify compliance and determine if

additional coverage or limits may be needed to adequately insure your obligations under this agreement. These are the minimum required and do not in any way represent or imply that such coverage is sufficient to adequately cover the Contractor’s liability under this agreement. The full coverage and limits afforded under Contractor’s policies of Insurance shall be available to Buyer and these Insurance Requirements shall not in any way act to reduce coverage that is broader or includes higher limits than those required. The Insurance obligations under this agreement shall be: 1—all the Insurance coverage and limits carried by or available to the Contractor; or 2—the minimum Insurance requirements shown in this agreement, whichever is greater. Any insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits and coverage required, which are applicable to a given loss, shall be available to City.

c. Contractor shall furnish the City with original Certificates of Insurance including all

required amendatory endorsements and a copy of the Declarations and Endorsement Page of the CGL policy listing all policy endorsements to City before work begins. City reserves the right to require full-certified copies of all Insurance coverage and endorsements.

3. INSURANCE

a. General Insurance Requirements

i. All insurance shall be primary insurance and shall name City of Santa Clarita as an additional insured. The naming of an additional insured shall not affect any recovery to which such additional insured would be entitled under the policy if not named as an additional insured, and an additional insured shall not be held

liable for any premium or expense of any nature on the policy or any extension thereof solely because they are an additional insured thereon.

ii. If the operation under this Agreement results in an increased or decreased risk

in the opinion of the City’s Risk Manager, then Consultant agrees that the minimum limits hereinabove designated shall be changed accordingly upon written request by the Risk Manager.

iii. Consultant agrees that provisions of this Section as to maintenance of insurance

shall not be construed as limiting in any way the extent to which Consultant may be held responsible for the payment of damages to persons or property resulting from Consultant’s activities, the activities of its subconsultants, or the activities of any person or persons for which Consultant is otherwise responsible.

iv. A Certificate of Insurance, and an additional insured endorsement (for general

and automobile liability), evidencing the above insurance coverage with a company acceptable to the City’s Risk Manager shall be submitted to City prior to execution of this Agreement on behalf of the City.

v. The terms of the insurance policy or policies issued to provide the above

insurance coverage shall provide that said insurance may not be amended or canceled by the carrier, for nonpayment of premiums otherwise, without 30 days prior written notice of amendment or cancellation to City. In the event the said insurance is canceled, Consultant shall, prior to the cancellation date, submit new evidence of insurance in the amounts heretofore established.

vi. All required insurance must be in effect prior to awarding this Agreement, and it

or a successor policy must be in effect for the duration of this Agreement. Maintenance of proper insurance coverage is a material requirement of this Agreement, and the failure to maintain and renew coverage or to provide evidence of renewal may be treated by the City as a material breach of contract. If Consultant, at any time during the term of this Agreement, should fail to secure or maintain any insurance required under this Agreement, City shall be permitted to obtain such insurance in Consultant’s name at Consultant’s sole cost and expense, or may terminate this Agreement for material breach.

vii. Without limiting any other Consultant obligation regarding insurance, should

Consultant’s insurance required by this Agreement be cancelled at any point prior to expiration of the policy, Consultant must notify City within 24 hours of receipt of notice of cancellation. Furthermore, Consultant must obtain replacement coverage that meets all contractual requirements within 10 days of the prior insurer’s issuance of notice of cancellation. Consultant must ensure that there is no lapse in coverage.

b. General Liability and Property Damage Insurance

i. Consultant agrees to procure and maintain general liability and property damage insurance at its sole expense to protect against loss from liability imposed by law for damages on account of bodily injury, including death therefrom, and property damage, suffered or alleged to be suffered by any person or persons whomsoever, resulting directly from any act or activities of Consultant, its subconsultants, or any person acting for Consultant or under its control or direction, and also to protect against loss from liability imposed by law for damages to any property of any person caused directly or indirectly by or from acts or activities of Consultant, or its subconsultants, or any person acting for Consultant, or under its control or direction. Such public liability and property damage insurance shall also provide for and protect City against incurring any legal cost in defending claims for alleged loss. Such general liability and property damage insurance shall be maintained in the following minimum limits: A combined single-limit policy with coverage limits in the amount of $1,000,000 per occurrence will be considered equivalent to the required minimum limits.

c. Automotive Insurance

i. Consultant shall procure and maintain public liability and property damage insurance coverage for automotive equipment with coverage limits of not less than $1,000,000 combined single limit. If Consultant does not use automobiles in performing its work under this Agreement, Consultant shall provide a waiver releasing City from all liability resulting from Consultant’s use of personal vehicles under this Agreement.

d. Worker’s Compensation Insurance

i. Consultant shall procure and maintain Worker’s Compensation Insurance in the amount of $1,000,000 per occurrence or as will fully comply with the laws of the State of California and which shall indemnify, insure, and provide legal defense for both Consultant and City against any loss, claim, or damage arising from any injuries or occupational diseases happening to any worker employed by Consultant in the course of carrying out this Agreement.

ii. Waiver of Subrogation: The insurer(s) agree to waive all rights of subrogation

against City, its elected or appointed officers, officials, agents, volunteers and employees for losses paid under the terms of the workers compensation policy which arise from work performed by Consultant for City.

Questions and requests for modification of these terms must be negotiated and approved prior to contract execution and are at the full discretion of the City.

I have read and understand the above requirements and agree to be bound by them for any work performed for the City. Authorized Signature: ______________________________ Date: ___________________
