Park Inventory and Level of Service (LOS) Analysis 1) The Consultant will identify and map the locations of the parks within the community with their corresponding park classification (neighborhood park, community park, special use park, etc.) and will inventory their existing amenities. The Consultant will also identify recreational opportunities outside of the community that may be contributing to its residents. This includes schools, County / Regional Parks, and parks in neighboring communities. The map will illustrate the quarter and half mile radii of each City park based upon their location and any potential barriers that may affect adequate access to the park or recreational amenity to identify potential locations of those lacking proper access. 2) The Consultant will conduct individual park site visits to assess the existing features to determine how well a park is meeting basic design standards. This includes identifying the age and condition of the amenities, function, general accessibility, safety concerns, and the demographics being served by the amenities. 3) An analysis of the existing recreational amenities, funding, and budgetary information will be prepared in conjunction with general NRPA metrics and peer community comparisons. This provides insight into how well the community is meeting the basic levels of service expectations. B. Demographics Analysis 1) The Consultant will collect 2020 Census data and will also develop ESRI demographics maps of the City of Mounds View identifying various demographics breakdowns based on housing density, income levels, ethnicity, and age distribution. Tapestry Segmentation maps will provide insight into the general population classifications within the community. 2) The Consultant will utilize the demographics information to better understand the locations where underserved populations may be located and methods to improve equitable distribution or access to recreational opportunities. This may include identifying locations for targeted community engagement strategies. C. Trail Gap Analysis 1) The Consultant will conduct a high-level analysis of the existing trails and walks in the community, along with future planned routes, to identify any gaps or areas of concern that may need to be addressed. This may also include identifying locations for efforts to improve pedestrian safety. D. Building Analysis 1) The sub-Consulant, KODET, will conduct an analysis of the existing building at Silver View Park to determine code compliance along with identifying potential improvements that may be necessary for meeting the needs of the community and the cost-effectiveness of the associated costs. \\wsbgvfiles01.wsbeng.local\resources\.Clients All\Mounds View\Proposals\2024 Park System Plan Proposal\Letter Proposal_2024 Park System Plan.docx
