Site Inventory, Analysis and GIS Mapping. FEE: $3,450 The team will conduct a one day site tour (in conjunction with initial kick-off meeting) with HPRD staff, visiting all current Town owned and operated parks and recreation facilities. The goal is to observe general park conditions as a basis for planning and general recommendations. This task will include documentation of overall park conditions, safety, visual appearance, maintenance and equipment condition rather than a detailed documentation of existing park conditions, which will not be included in this scope. The assessment will summarize our findings and include high level recommendations for general improvements and renovations for use in future CIP’s. To better understand the existing level of service found within the Town, the team will review inventory of all public facilities found within the Town’s limits. In order to complete this task, the inventory shall be provided by the Town in Excel format, and include items such as number of park acres, types of facilities (ie, park, trail, recreation center), and individual park amenities (ie, playgrounds, courts, fields, etc.). The team will obtain readily available GIS data from the Town and prepare a base map depicting the following features: > Aerial photography > Parcel Lines + Major neighborhoods > Existing parks and recreation facilities (locations / addresses / PIN numbers to be provided by the Town if ArcGIS layers are not available). > Primary transportation routes, > Future and proposed Greenway trails > Environmental features (streams, lakes, sensitive habitats, etc), > Jurisdictional boundaries Finally, each park will be assigned a park classification (mini park, neighborhood park, community park, etc) with an associated walk and/or drive distance depicted. The map will demonstrate where there are gaps in service as it relates to public parks, and will be used as the basis for recommendations aimed at providing equal distribution of parks and recreation offerings across the Town, as well as to identify possible locations for land acquisition.
