<br />Page 3 of 5 <br /> <br />SERVICES REQUESTED <br /> <br />The City of Little Canada is requesting proposals for the professional services described hereafter. <br /> <br />Safety and Accessibility Assessment <br />The chosen consultant will conduct a thorough inventory of all safety issues with the existing <br />park and items of noncompliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The City aims <br />to make Pioneer Park safe and accessible for all people. Items to be inspected include, but are <br />not limited to, entry and egress to existing structures, sidewalk and trail compliance, <br />playground safety, lighting considerations, and any other items recommended by the chosen <br />consultant. <br /> <br />Public Input <br />Public input that has been gathered over the past three years should serve as the guiding <br />information for creating a plan. A web-based online engagement platform, such as Social <br />Pinpoint, should be used to solicit additional feedback from the community to refine the <br />proposed design options. The consultant should present two design options for proposed <br />improvements related to the trail system, all-inclusive playground area, and water feature. <br /> <br />A maximum of three public input meetings must be held to provide the community with an <br />opportunity to solicit feedback on potential development amenities and improvements. The <br />City requests that these meetings will be conducted at two Parks & Recreation Commission <br />meetings and one City Council meeting (see timeline below). These meetings may be virtual or <br />in-person and will be determined in coordination with the selected consultant based on timing <br />and the need to provide a safe response to conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The <br />selected consultant will facilitate these meetings. City staff and the consultant will be present <br />to collect feedback and assist with public input and engagement. <br /> <br />Findings and feedback from the public input meetings will be summarized and reported in <br />writing to staff and will be included in the final Pioneer Park Phase I Master Plan document. <br /> <br />Solicitation of Additional Information from Staff <br />City staff and the selected consultant will meet to review prior community engagement that <br />has been completed and key priorities that have been identified prior to project kick-off. <br /> <br />
