APPROACH + IMPLEMENTATION I 2 appropriate for each type of project. A sample approach for a Landscape Architectural task order is as follows: Task 1: Project Initiation Upon notification to proceed, key members of the project team will meet with the City staff to review the proposed scope of work, project design objectives, schedule and budget requirements, any other special requirements (such as grant funding conditions). We will review available site and background data received, as appropriate to the project, in advance of the meeting, and will identify with staff any additional information necessary for the project, including action item assignments for acquiring such information. As appropriate to the project, we will visit the project site in advance of, or in conjunction with, this initial meeting, in order to become generally familiar with its context, site character, existing vegetation and features, and other opportunities and constraints. Finally, we will determine with staff the preferred methodology for any public input to the design process, as well as confirm the City's review requirements. Task 2: Program Confirmation & Concept or Schematic Design We will develop drawings and, as appropriate to the project, other documents such as narrative description that confirm the required elements of the project design. These deliverables may include a Concept or Master Landscape Plan, or Schematic Design (e.g. for park or site development), a statement of program, budget parameters and /or other applicable data, and will serve as the basis for subsequent design. As appropriate to the project, these initial deliverables will be developed with significant input and feedback from City staff, area residents, or other stakeholders to the project. Task 3: Design Approval At the initial design stage it will typically be appropriate to secure initial review and approvals from the City as well as from any boards or agencies with a particular interest or role in the project. These may include neighborhood associations, the Historic Preservation Board (for projects on historic sites), DERM, SFWMD or other environmental agencies (for environmentally sensitive sites), user agency personnel or others. We will prepare and present the project for the review and approval of all such groups at the appropriate stage of each project. Task 4: Final Design & Construction Documents This task will typically include the traditional design phases consistent with AIA standard documents and most municipal contracts, although the phases may be modified to fit each project. Schematic Design may be included in this task if not completed previously. Design Development may be a discrete subtask, or - for small projects or those with accelerated schedules - combined with Construction Documents. Permit review agencies will be identified and early as well as interim reviews will be conducted to ensure a minimum of design changes based on agency requirements. During this stage of the project, submittals for City review, comment and approval will be made at milestone intervals appropriate to the project.
