Final Scope of Work - GreenPlay, LLC
City of Dublin, Parks and Recreation Master Plan — February 2019
We understand that the City of Dublin is interested in developing a Parks and Recreation Master Plan,
which will integrate information from other previous planning efforts, and will serve as a guide for the
future of the City's parks and recreation system for the next 10 years. We know that Dublin is known for
its high quality of life which includes 365 acres of parkland, 20 parks, 10 trails, three recreation facilities,
and one aquatic complex. This new Master Plan will establish goals, standards, guiding policies, and
action plans that will guide the City in acquisition, development, management (operations and
implications), and maintenance of Dublin parks and recreation facilities through build -out in accordance
with the City's General Plan.
We know that Dublin, which is located in the Tri-Valley region of the San Francisco Bay Area, is home to
63,241 people. The City's Parks and Community Services Department offers an abundance of programs
and activities to residents, including youth and adult sports and fitness classes, performing arts classes
and camps, senior recreation and programming, and much more. We know that Dublin was named by
Money Magazine as one of the Best Places to Live 2018 (#7), has numerous park projects in the works
including the 30 acre Don Biddle Community Park, and a new All Abilities playground. The City is known
for scenic beauty, public safety, excellent educational system, and abundant and diverse housing
opportunities, as well as its parks system, which is highly valued by members of the community. Once
completed, this Parks, Trails, Open Space, and Recreation Plan will serve as a roadmap for the next 10
years, guiding the Parks and Community Service Department in planning, managing and developing the
system into the future.
We know that the Dublin community consists of a diverse and involved public, and that they will be
engaged throughout this planning process. This will result in realistic and justifiable recommendations,
as well as an accurate assessment of potentially unmet needs in the system. The following Scope of
Work details the steps that GreenPlay suggests taking to complete this plan. This scope is based on our
preliminary understanding of your needs; however, we are flexible and will determine the final scope of
work following award of contract.
A. STRATEGIC KICK OFF AND DETERMINATION OF CRITICAL SUCCESS FACTORS
Following award of contract, the Greenr ay team will provide a Detailed Work Plan for discussion at a
half -day Strategic Kick -Off (SKO) meeting with City staff and with the Project Steering Committee. We
will review the details of the work plan and formalize the timeline and tasks for your project, including
information gathering, public involvement, market analysis, level of service analysis, needs assessment,
and data analysis. We will finalize accepted methodologies and tasks, final number and types of
meetings, expected quality and formats for deliverables, and agreement on the implementation
strategies. We will set a timeline for community and stakeholder engagement, and will discuss desired
outcomes with the Project Team.
Project Coordination
We will work closely with your team during SKO to identify key "Critical Success Factors" that will
ensure that all factors of importance that are unique to the City of Dublin are incorporated, including
geography and other considerations that may affect plan recommendations. We will supply written
Monthly Progress Reports that cover recent progress, outstanding issues or information needed,
upcoming meetings and agendas, and next steps. We have found this to be an effective communication
tool, adding a level of efficiency to our projects. We will always be available for phone or email
communication.
Project team progress meetings will be formally held as often as necessary, but in no case less than
monthly, with project updates via email, video conference, or phone to the Project Manager until the
final plan is approved by the City Council. We will supply the City's Project Manager with a copy of all
completed or partially completed reports, studies, forecasts, or plans deemed necessary at least three
(3) working days before each progress meeting. The Project Manager will schedule these meetings, as
necessary, at key times during the development of this comprehensive Parks and Recreation Master
Plan. We will provide up-to-date information for posting on the City's website and/or an independent
project website for review of progress by stakeholders and the public.
Review and Integration of Planning Documents
We know that a number of plans exist from which the City would like to incorporate information. Our
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 including (but not limited to) the following:
• 2015 Parks and Recreation Master Plan
• City of Dublin General Plan
• Dublin Crossing Master Plan
• Iron Horse Nature Park & Open Space Master Plan
• Cultural Arts Master Plan
• Fallon Sports Park Master Plan, Update and Phasing Diagram
• Adopted Five Year Capital Program 2018-2023
• NRPA Agency Performance Review 2018
• Proposed Budget for Fiscal Years 2018-19 and 2019-20, particularly as it relates to park and facility
operation and maintenance
• Parks and Community Services Strategic Plan 2008-2018
• Evaluation of current inventory of park and recreation facilities
• Emerald Glen Park Master Plan (to be provided)
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 direction and recommendations for the Parks and Recreation Master Plan.
B. COMMUNITY AND STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
We know that the City would like the community to be very involved in the development of this plan.
We agree and also want to do so. Our team will engage the community throughout the duration of the
project.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PLAN
During the development of this plan, our team will continue to engage stakeholders from throughout
the City. The participation process utilized will be customized to your community's unique situation,
emphasizing input collection methods that are efficient, effective, and that incorporate your available
resources to the greatest extent possible.
Individual users and non -users, user groups, special interest organizations, associations, and other
stakeholders will be given ample opportunity to participate in the development of this Master Plan. Our
team will explore knowledge of local issues and concerns that will result in useful and pertinent
community feedback.
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
detailed and determined during Strategic Kick -Off.
Based on previous successes, the following community engagement strategy approach is designed to
assure residents, user groups, community associations, neighboring communities, and other
stakeholders that they are provided an opportunity to participate in the development of the plan, and is
recommended:
• Initial Information Gathering: Collection of as much information as possible on awareness, use
patternsI satisfaction, desires, barriers, vision, priorities, funding possibilities, and willingness to
pay, so as to inform the update of the Master Plan.
• Focus Group Meetings: We will conduct a minimum of four (4) focus groups drawing from user
individuals and groups, Parks and Community Services Members, Community Services
Department Staff, neighborhood association members, School Board members, representatives
from other City Departments, other advisory boards, community associations, other service
providers (public, private and non-profit, etc.), primary stakeholders such as youth, seniors,
other recreation providers, citizens with disabilities, school officials, and other stakeholders, as
mutually determined.
• Public Meetings: At least three (3) come one come all public meetings to provide information
and to validate and round out the qualitative information received from the focus groups.
• Stakeholder Interviews: During onsite visits and as appropriate, we will meet with and/or have
phone conversations with those who can contribute specific information that may need to be
conveyed in a more detailed manner
• Commission Meetings and Presentations: We will conduct a minimum of three (3) meetings
with the Parks and Community Services Commission and the City Council, one at the beginning
of the plan's development, one of the Draft Master Plan, and one to recommend adoption of
the Master Plan.
• Findings Presentation: We will compile and present a summary of findings from the inventory,
needs assessment and initial analysis for validation by staff, decision makers, stakeholders, and
the public.
Participant feedback has indicated that our techniques and formats are well received and provide 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 also have the ability to utilize technology to augment the in -person engagement process, and we
will work with you to determine which channels, including social media and other technology, may be
the best for your community. We have extensive experience in engaging "hard to reach" community
sectors, such as youth. We will work with your Project Team during Start -Up to devise the appropriate
strategies, schedule all necessary meetings and project tasks and to arrange proper noticing of
meetings) associated with the plan development.
Statistically -Valid Survey
As part of the quantitative needs assessment portion of the plan, our team recommends conducting a
randomly distributed survey using proven survey methods to achieve a statistically valid response. This
type of survey is the most effective method available to get the opinions of the NON -USERS, as well as
users of recreation facilities and programs, in your community.
We will work with RRC Associates (RRC) to create a carefully designed community survey to be
distributed to a sample of residents using a list provided by the City (either registered voters or some
other appropriate list). We propose to invite survey participation using a mail survey with a postage paid
return envelope provided, containing language that is proven based on our work in other communities.
The survey will permit respondents to complete the form and mail it back, or they would be directed to
a web site where they could complete the survey on-line. Following the initial invitation to complete the
survey that is provided to a sampling of residents by mail, we will offer the opportunity to go to an
"open link" where the larger community would be encouraged to respond.
RRC typically tabulates the results from these two groups separately (the coded "invitation" and "open
link" versions) but if they are similar in response patterns they can then be combined for interpretation
purposes. We expect enough responses to permit recreation use patterns and community priorities to
be measured in a quantitative manner. To help improve response rates, we also anticipate that the City
would assist with marketing and creating public awareness of the survey through local channels such as
local newspapers, radio, cable TV, web sites and other available media.
GreenPlay will work with RRC and your project team to draft questions regarding awareness, needs,
satisfaction, participation, desires, priorities, willingness to pay, accessibility, barriers to participation,
and/or other issues determined by the project team.
We have substantial experience in designing surveys specifically for parks, recreation, open space, and
trails issues that are effective and representative of the users and non -users. The survey will be carefully
constructed to be easily understood using proven questions and terminology appropriate to your
community, and the results will be tallied, summarized, charted and graphed. All responses to open-
ended comments will also be included in the final report.
C. INVENTORY AND LEVEL OF SERVICE ANALYSIS
LandDesign team members will update and supplement your existing inventory using GIS technology. To
begin, we will utilize base GIS materials, as well as inventory from previously completed plans. We can
work with various information formats and will produce the final deliverables in both shapefile and
textual formats that are dynamic and easily updated and used in the future.
Once the physical inventory is updated and accurate, we will help analyze the system with quantitative,
qualitative, and textual analysis. This will be a dynamic user friendly inventory that you will have from
this point forward.
Level of Service Analysis
The GreenPlay team will summarize all research and stakeholder input, developing recommendations
and priorities for needs regarding land acquisition, conservation, and the development of parks,
recreation facilities, and open space. We will also develop a set of prioritized recommendations
regarding maintenance and renovation of existing facilities. This analysis will allow us to identify areas in
the community with gaps in level of service, and will allow the City to ensure that its parks and
recreation assets are equitably distributed.
The development of the dynamic digital database to support this project will allow us to apply
evaluation criteria and policies to identify and map existing and future potential parks, recreation
facilities, and open spaces to be acquired and/or developed consistent with projected growth patterns
and policies identified in any previous planning projects. We will work with staff to determine the
degree of specificity for mapping.
We will use the results of the inventory, building on previous planning efforts, to determine existing LOS
for acreages, facties, access, and quality.
From the results of the inventory and LOS Analysis, LandDesign and GreenPlay team members will work
with the Department to:
• Evaluate community access to parks, facilities,
and services.
• Establish local planning guidelines and standards for adequate access to parks (consider
pertinent park types, i.e.: neighborhood, community, regional as well as trails, open space, and
parkland corridors).
• Identify and discuss current and anticipated access issues including barriers to participation.
• Make specific recommendations addressing access solutions and future needs including
parkland acquisition and development.
• Identify, inventory, and rank unique natural and other open space resources for potential park
system acquisition and/or parks development opportunity within the community.
• Identify redevelopment opportunities within the existing community for potential park
development.
Demographics and Trends Analysis
GreenPlay has staff dedicated to demographics and trends research. We are skilled at utilizing our
research to prepare an updated demographic analysis and market profile of the City. We will utilize
information available from the City's previous planning efforts, the 2010 U.S. Census, Esri, Alameda
County, the State of California, and other relevant entities to analyze existing and projected population
growth. We will portray relevant demographic information in easy to read charts and figures with
analysis of important topics that will impact service delivery.
We will work with the Parks and Community Services Department to analyze data and prepare
population maps for the current population as well as the projected future population. This information,
along with other research, will be used for a gap analysis to identify unmet needs and potential location
or realignment of services or facilities.
GreenPlay consultants are experts in the field of trends analysis. Our team members are continually
researching the newest and most popular facilities, programs and services, emerging programs and
services, and trends in service delivery. We are experts at not only determining what is popular, but
which trends are appropriate for your community.
Our team will utilize our nationwide parks and recreation experience, literature reviews, and interviews
with key leaders to analyze and summarize trends that may influence the usage of, and appreciation for,
facilities and services. This will help us formulate short-term recommendations and set the stage for
long-term goals. Trends analysis will include an evaluation of demographic shifts and their impact on
what needs to be provided for the future, interest and participation levels for a variety of activities, and
new developments in the field of parks and recreation, as well as how services are provided through
both administrative and planning trends. Findings will be compiled in a narrative form.
Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) Analysis
To develop a short and long-term strategy for the future planning of Dublin's service 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 services
and programs.
Facility and Asset Gaps Analysis
We will analyze the information on usage, needs, desires, operations, maintenance, land use trends, and
make recommendations. We will identify areas of service shortfalls and projected impact of future
trends. This analysis will allow us to recommend criteria for land acquisition, defining priorities and
potential implementations schedules for acquisition.
Programs and Services Gaps
We will collect and analyze information on participation, needs, desires, operations, and management
strategies for programming and service offerings, and make recommendations. We will identify areas of
service shortfalls and projected impact of future trends.
D. FINDINGS AND VISIONING
Visioning Strategies Development Workshop
We recognize that our team needs to work with the City's Project Team to fully analyze identified
findings and to create implementable recommendations for your future. We want to be respectful of
the staffs time, while thoughtfully contributing our identified ideas, suggestions, qualitative, and
quantitative findings. We also want to engage all interested members and key stakeholders in
determining future vision and action plan steps for the City's parks, and recreation needs.
Following review of the Findings, we will facilitate a Visioning Strategies Workshop that will include an
analysis of all findings, including operational feasibility, political or historical constraints, and any other
potential challenges. We will also identify opportunities for implementation steps, work plans, and
funding implications.
This Workshop will help provide an articulated guiding vision for future acquisition, development, and
maintenance of recreation facilities, with goals, desired outcomes, and standards identified to direct
policy and acquisition for existing and proposed facilities.
Key Issues Analysis Matrix
During the Findings Phase of each project, GreenPlay Project Managers compile a Key Issues Analysis
Matrix that helps identify focus areas from the various tools and methodologies used to collect
information. This matrix will help the Department determine progress on goals set forth in the plan, and
will serve as a basis for plan updates in the future.
Present and Projected Fiscal Resources
GreenPlay will conduct an overview analysis of past budgets and existing funding to meet existing needs
and projected funding to meet future needs. In addition we will analyze other sources of funds such as
levies and bond issues and strategies for land acquisition.
We will look for gaps in the current management and funding system, and look for potential areas of
improvement.
Cost Recovery and Resource Allocation
GreenPlay is a national leader in teaching and developing innovative approaches to handling the often
contentious financial issues of "how much taxpayer subsidy is enough?" or "where should the resources
go?" GreenPlay has established and improved the "Pyramid" methodology for helping agencies create
an overall philosophy and approach for resource allocation, program pricing, and cost recovery
evaluation. We currently teach at conferences and train agencies and universities in the implementation
and use of this straightforward but innovative methodology, which is invaluable for making tough
resource allocation decisions, and creating pricing and cost recovery strategies.
This methodology will be helpful for evaluating the financial sustainability of the Parks Department from
both operational and capital funding aspects. As part of your project, we will use the concepts for
identification of gaps and/or areas of non -consensus, along with introducing the concepts for this
framework for decision making.
As part of GreenPlay's proposed process, we will introduce your staff to this methodology and use it for
the basis of "what if" scenarios predicated on the City's financial sustainability goals. The GreenPlay
team will work with staff during the workshop to develop your general categories of service and to place
existing programs into those categories to be included in the final master plan document. Creating a full
more detailed cost recovery plan is typically a separate process, and if you would like to have GreenPlay
facilitate and create the full plan in addition to the Master Plan, we can do so concurrently for an
additional fee.
Alternative Funding and Partnerships
GreenPlay has extensive experience evaluating options for alternative funding. Alternative funding
typically includes grants, donor programs, sponsorships, and/or partnerships. Our Project Team will
identify key partners in the area through the planning process and can provide management
recommendations to enhance this potential funding area. This task does not include procurement of
alternative funding, but this can be addressed separately if desired. In fact, we have developed sample
partnership and sponsorship policies that our clients are using across the country. We will help the City
to identify if and what types of partnership opportunities may be available.
E. DRAFT AND FINAL PLANS, PRESENTATIONS, AND DELIVERABLES
The Draft Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Master Plan will include all findings, needs assessment,
public engagement results, written goals, plans, objectives, and policy statements that articulate a clear
vision and model (a "road map") for the City's future. These will be submitted for preliminary review,
and all comments will be incorporated into your Final Plan. After the review, we will assist in guiding the
Plan through the formal adoption process, including review and recommendation by the project
management team, presentations of the draft recommendations and final Parks and Recreation Master
Plan to the Parks and Community Services Commission and the City Council for adoption.
Action/Implementation Plan
We will work with the project team to rank and prioritize recommendations, balancing needs and
cost/benefit analyses, capacity of the City, and budgetary realities. The product of this task will be a set
of recommendations with strategies, priorities, and identification of budget support funding
mechanisms phased into immediate, near -term, and long-term timeframes addressing needs regarding
land acquisition, along with the development of parks and recreation programs and facilities.
An Action Plan including costs, potential funding mechanisms, timing, and responsible party will be
developed for the City of Dublin.
Deliverables will include all aspects outlined in the preceding tasks, summarized as:
• Preliminary reports and project updates prepared at Park Master Plan development milestones.
• One (1) printed copy of the Final Plan.
• One (1) electronic submission, consisting of all Plan elements in a format compatible with your
software and for posting on your website.
• Maps in a format compatible with City GIS
• Presentation graphics for website, publications, and public meetings,
Our plans also include at no additional charge:
• Qualitative and Quantitative analysis methods
beyond those specified, designed to address specific
key issues, constraints, and opportunities, the City's
future livability and the contribution of parks and
recreation to economic development, community
vitality, and long-term viability.
Our commitment that for each task, we will quickly
assess your current circumstances and provide
specific information that you need to move to the
next level, rather than providing you with just a
standard planning response, whether you need it or not.
*Note: We recognize that the City has
requested 17 printed copies of the plan.
However, GreenPlay is not a professional
printer. We provide digital print -ready
files suitable for local printing for cost
savings value. If the City desires, we can
print requested copies at a cost of $150
per
copy.

and Deliverables
This project is billed as Firm -Fixed Fee, meaning that all travel, reimbursable expenses, and deliverables are built
into the per task cost.
Fee Basis
GreenPlay is aware that you requested a breakdown of hours; however, GreenPlay does not bill on an
hourly basis. If you would like us to provide a breakdown of hours, we will gladly provide that to you.
We have established an inclusive fee schedule that covers the salaries of our professional project staff
and of support staff who enable them to function effectively and efficiently. We consider the prevailing
rates in our industry and the level of specialized expertise that we provide.
For projects which require more than 100 hours of work, GreenPlay proposes using aFirm-Fixed Price
model for compensation. This means that the contract is based on a projected number of hours, but the
compensation is actually based on the completion of pre -determined contracted tasks identified in the
Scope of Work and within a pre -specified timeline.
This typically works well for the client, ensuring that all work is accomplished regardless of the time
required to complete each task. In the event that the contracted Scope of Work is changed by the client
during the project, GreenPlay can adjust total contract fees accordingly based on our regular hourly
rates. This project is proposed as a Firm -Fixed Fee project; therefore, individual hourly rates and
projected number of hours are not applicable.
Our rates include:
➢ All deliverables as outlined in the Scope of Work.
➢ Professional staff, sub -consultant, and administrative salaries.
➢ All office overhead, equipment, utilities, and consulting insurances.
➢ Taxes, employee benefits, and Worker's Compensation.
➢ Administrative support staff and supplies, and local travel.
➢ Work Products and meetings as outlined in the Scope of Work.
➢ All travel costs are built into the firm -fixed fee.
Rates do not include:
➢ Materials and services outside of the pre -specified Scope of Work (may include extra
meetingsI requested copies and printing of work products).
➢ Geotechnical services and reports.
➢ Topographic and boundary surveys (site surveys).
➢ Site Testing.
➢ Project related legal and safety consultant services.
➢ Permits and fees borne by the agency.
➢ Detailed schematic and construction documents.
Additional Services: If Requested
GreenPlay's rate for additional services is based on an average of $150 per hour if not proposed as
"firm -fixed fee." For sub -consultants, hourly rates range from $60 to $150 per hour, depending on the
task. As this project is based on a firm -fixed fee, our consultants will dedicate the necessary time to
complete the project. Our sub -consultant team members set their hourly rates according to their
individual firm fee schedules. While the hourly rates may sound high, when considering the costs for
implementing additional experienced and professional full-time staff, benefits, insurances, office space,
computers and equipment, support staff, utilities, etc., we find that this rate is usually comparable to or
lower than what an agency would spend for in-house staff. An additional benefit is that when the
project is finished, the expense ends. GreenPlay typically submits an invoice for payment to the project
manager/primary contact person on a monthly basis. Each invoice includes a brief description of the
services provided and percentage of Scope completed to date. Invoices past due over 60 days will
accrue 1.5% interest per month. Other structures for compensation and payment can be negotiable
prior to contract award.
Project Delay Fee
GreenPlay will work with your project team to jointly lay out an achievable schedule during contracting
and detailed during the SKO. There is a cost to GreenPlay if the project is delayed beyond the accepted
contracted schedule end date, so we will work diligently with you to achieve it. We expect prompt
responses and to keep milestones for approval points. If the project is delayed due to City requests or
non -response, we may request additional fees to do so. Typically, this fee is around 10% of remaining
budget for each month of client caused delays. We are happy to help keep this project on schedule, and
value open and transparent conversations about how to best do so throughout the project.
EXMIDIT C
INDEMNIFICATION
Consultant shall indemnify, defend with counsel acceptable to City, and hold harmless City and its officers,
elected officials, employees, agents and volunteers from and against any and all liability, loss, damage,
claims, expenses, and costs (including without limitation, attorney's fees and costs and fees of litigation)
(collectively, "Liability") of every nature arising out of or in connection with Consultant's performance of the
services called for or its failure to comply with any of its obligations contained in this Agreement, except
such Liability caused by the sole negligence or willful misconduct of City.
Notwithstanding the forgoing, to the extent this Agreement is a "construction contract" as defined by
California Civil Code Section 2782, as may be amended from time to time, such duties of Consultant to
indemnify shall not apply when to do so would be prohibited by California Civil Code Section 2782,
The Consultant's obligation to defend and indemnify shall not be excused because of the Consultant's
inability to evaluate Liability or because the Consultant evaluates Liability and determines that the
Consultant is not liable to the claimant. The Consultant must respond within 30 days to the tender of any
claim for defense and indemnity by the City. If the Consultant fails to accept or reject a tender of defense
and indemnity within 30 days, in addition to any other remedy authorized by law, so much of the money due
the Consultant under and by virtue of this Agreement as shall reasonably be considered necessary by the
City, may be retained by the City until disposition has been made of the claim or suit for damages, or until
the Consultant accepts or rejects the tender of defense, whichever occurs first.
