RFP #2020-073 • CITY OF EVERETT PARKS, RECREATION & OPEN SPACE PLAN <br /> C. How and why does your approach <br /> provide the best value? <br /> Our approach provides the City: <br /> ' An experienced local firm that knows the Washington planning context and has a track <br /> record of creating high-quality RCO-approved and legally- sound PROS plans and <br /> impact fee rate studies. <br /> ■ A highly integrated scope minimizing costs. We have interwoven public engagement <br /> with each stage of the PROS Plan and impact fee development.This provides a smooth <br /> transition from inventory and levels of service into capital needs,in turn feeding into the <br /> impact fee program design and other funding and partnership options. <br /> • An interdisciplinary team of planners, landscape architects,economists, biologists, <br /> and other experts who bring a full understanding of successful policy,sustainable <br /> improvement concepts, and feasible funding, construction,maintenance, and operation. <br /> ■ A PROS Plan that addresses short- and long-term revenue and investment needs, <br /> going further than just meeting RCO requirements. We know the City's budget situation <br /> constrains public funding for service delivery. We offer successful models of partnerships <br /> and private investments that could support the City's fiscal needs, <br /> ■ A collaborative team that will work hand-in-hand with the community and Everett staff <br /> and decision makers for a creative, implementable plan with buy-in for the long-term. <br /> D.
