3 <br />Revised Everett Scope <br />Deliverable 0: Project Management and the Client-Consultant Partnership <br />Given the nature of this project, frequent communication and mutual trust will be critical. Projects are most successful <br />when clients and consultants are both invested in the outcomes, and both help facilitate each other. ECOnorthwest will <br />build this relationship through the following. <br />1) Monthly progress reports structured around the final deliverable will allow the city to review the status of the research <br />quickly, provide comments, and identify any issues before they become major sections in the work product. ECOnorthwest <br />can schedule check-in phone calls to field questions on the progress reports. <br />2) A series of in-person working sessions will build rapport and allow for ample discussion. The kickoff meeting will focus on <br />introductions to staff and project goals. The review of the technical work will focus on framing key issues facing the county <br />in the next twenty years. The review of scenarios and development of strategy will cement buy-in. It will be critical to put <br />these meetings on the calendar early in the process and build contingency plans in case the meeting is put in jeopardy. <br />Future meetings will focus on refining the plan. <br />3) One-on-one phone calls with stakeholders at the beginning of the project will supplement the kick-off meeting and help <br />prepare for working sessions. Individual conversations will help ECONW understand all the parameters of the project. <br />Timeline: Throughout Project <br /> <br />Deliverable 1: Inventory of Current Conditions <br /> <br />Building on the foundational data analysis previously undertaken by our team, we will be able to move into a deeper and <br />broader exploration of the market in this area. This will allow us to take a comprehensive look at the area prior to focusing <br />on 3-5 opportunity areas. <br />Task 1.1: Review Transportation Expansion Plans <br />To best understand the potential transit improvements in this area, the team will gather current details on rail expansion, <br />including a series of meetings with Sound Transit. In addition, the team will review current or planned improvements to <br />Paine Field. <br />Task 1.2: Analyze Housing Data <br />Our team will compile a detailed profile of the WHEB Triangle’s housing landscape, harnessing both public and third-party <br />data sets to understand better supply, construction, vacancy rates, and affordability. Spatial analysis will map the housing <br />supply and help show gaps across the community. <br />Task 1.3: Assess Commercial Spaces Data <br />Our team will continue to decode the local commercial market as well, exploring building types, quantities, and lease rates. <br />We’ll craft a geographic analysis, reviewing lease rates and affordability in the context of the region. <br /> <br />
