a. Proiect Coordination
The Consultant shall complete project management activities in coordination
with the City's project manager to ensure schedule adherence, cost control and
quality assurance. These activities will include:
Monthly submittal of written progress reports in conjunction with each
monthly invoice. These reports will describe the project status, document
significant work accomplished and activities scheduled for the next
progress report period, and note any difficulties encountered and steps
taken to address them.
(2) Preparation and maintenance throughout the project of a detailed
project schedule, including due dates for all deliverables, anticipated
meeting dates, plus specified review/comment timeframes ensuring
adequate time for client review. approval of deliverables. The schedule
will be set during the Project Start -Up Phase described hereinbelow.
Frequent communication and coordination with the City's project
manager by email, phone, online conferencing, and written
correspondence, as appropriate, including phone check -ins at least every
other week at a set time, as needed.
b. Project Start -Up
t I , Project Kick -Off Meeting
Following receipt of written Notice to Proceed from the City, the
Consultant will complete a projects kick-off conference call with City
staff to recap the Scope of Services, flesh out a detailed schedule,
coordinate on data/information needs, and cover other project logistics.
Then, on each scheduled visit to the community, the Consultant will
meet with City staff as needed for project planning discussions and/or
in-depth work sessions on particular plan topics.
Compilation of Information Resources
The Consultant will coordinate with City staff to identify and acquire
available data, mapping and other information resources for the Project,
from local and other sources. The Consultant will provide City staff a
checklist of typical resource items for a community planning effort,
including other recent and/or concurrent plans and studies, and any
other policy processes or documents that aid community decision -
making. The Consultant will then coordinate with staff to determine
which items will be available for the Project. The Consultant will also
Page 1 of 22
coordinate with City staff to identify key project contacts and relevant
agencies and entities.
Coordination of Community and Leadership Engagement Strategy
The Consultant will coordinate with City staff to plan and facilitate a
sequence of outreach activities to engage the community's public and
private leadership, along with residents, business owners, property
owners, local organizations and others interested in setting strategic
priorities for the community's future and for the Bayway Drive Corridor.
These efforts will build on other recent and ongoing engagement
activities by the City, including exploration of joint engagement
opportunities with the Parks, Recreation, Trails, and Open Space Master
Plan process. Specific outreach activities and methods, including
development and use of a dedicated project website, are itemized within
each phase of this Scope of Services, under the heading Engagement
Activities. Necessary coordination with other external agencies and
organizations will also be initiated early on and throughout the process,
as appropriate.
c.. Approach To Deliverables
Draft Deliverables
The Consultant will provide draft deliverables through each phase of the
Project. These deliverables will facilitate workshop meetings, periodic
releases of information to the media and public, and the orderly
completion of the Project. All such interim deliverables will be
provided to the City in Adobe PDF format for ease of file transfer and
reproduction and distribution, and will also be posted on the project
website. Graphics will be produced in color (unless they are black -and -
white line sketches) in a format suitable for display during meetings
and at public events. hearings.
Consolidated Review and Revision
Whenever the Consultant submits draft deliverables, it will be the
responsibility of the City's project manager to coordinate, compile and
forward to the Consultant in a consolidated manner all review comments
on and requested/suggested revisions to such deliverables. As part of each
review phase, guidance from the project manager should be included, as
needed, on whether and how the Consultant should address certain
comments which may be for information only (e.g., comments from
outside reviewers) versus those involving specific, client -recommended
revisions.
` WebPlan Project Website and Online Interactive Plans
Through its sister firm, enCodePlus, LLC, the Consultant will design and
publish the updated Baytown Comprehensive Plan, and the final Bayway
Page 2 of 22
Drive Corridor Plan, on an interactive, citizen -friendly website, starting as
a common project website for both planning efforts. The web -based plans
will conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, meaning the
site is usable by visual- and hearing -impaired users. The WebPlan site
will be branded and designed to meet the identified needs of the City,
providing graphics -rich online documents that may also include
multimedia. The website content will be well organized and fully
searchable, allowing decision -makers and other users to quickly locate
relevant information. The online format will allow cross-referenced links
to related policies, programs, maps, or background information and may
also incorporate the City's GIS mapping system, as well as a document
library for quick access to other plans, studies, and documents.
During plan development, the site will be designed for public outreach,
including education and information, to issue meeting invitations and
notices, and to solicit input through polling, surveying, or geo-
engagement (questions and input via a map interface). Public notices and
surveys posted to the site will be provided in both English and Spanish
versions. Interim deliverables will be posted on the site during each
phase. The site content may be easily updated and published immediately
to the web. At the public hearing stage, the site will transform to a citizen -
friendly, interactive website for viewing the proposed plans online. The
final adopted plans will also be provided on the WebPlan site in a digital
flipbook style.
Comprehensive Plan
a. Phase 1 Comprehensive Plan
The Existing City
The Consultant will compile and assess a base of information on the existing
conditions and outlook for Baytown, focusing especially on key influences that
will shape the community's future. This will provide background and
assumptions to support needs assessment and long-range and strategic planning
decisions throughout the planning process. Through its own background study
plus discussions with local officials, staff, residents and other stakeholders, the
Consultant will:
(1) Review and evaluate the City's current planning documents and other
relevant materials, including the current land development regulations;
(2) Identify action items from previous local plans/studies or initiatives that
were successfully accomplished, remain to be completed, or are not
likely to be pursued due to changed priorities, resource limitations or
other factors, including priorities identified in the Imagine Baytown
Strategic Plan;
Page 3 of 22
(3) Itemize key opportunities, challenges, issues and needs facing the
community, using indicator data from local sources, the U.S. Census
Bureau and other readily available sources to provide further context.
(4) Consider relevant local and regional trends, plans and projects that will
influence the community over the 20-year planning horizon.
(5) Complete topic -specific background study and mapping to gain a better
understanding of Baytown's physical context and development history,
and projects/improvements already in motion. Drawing from readily
available data and other resources from the City, plus discussions with
staff and other key contacts, considerations will include:
(a) Growth Capacity
Existing water, wastewater and storm drainage systems (general
condition and capacity, any significant service issues or
deficiencies, anticipated needs, etc.) and specific improvements
already planned and/or programmed. (For general community
planning purposes, this information will be derived from
available resource documents and interactions with local staff
and other pertinent contacts and will not involve any new
modeling or in-depth technical analysis.) Also, potential
opportunities for and constraints to future development and
redevelopment, including physical and fiscal factors and public
service capacities.
(b) Land Use
Existing land use and development patterns in both Baytown and its
ETJ (including scale, location and density) and associated
economic and real estate market factors.
(c) Mobility and Transportation
Existing transportation system (including pedestrianibicycle
circulation and transit services), associated traffic and safety
conditions, and specific improvements already planned and or
programmed.
(For general community planning purposes, this information will be
derived from available resource documents and interactions with
local staff and other pertinent contacts and will not involve any
new modeling or in-depth technical analysis.)
(d) Economic Opportunity and Tourism
Existing economic/market assessment including tax base,
commuter population, jobs and employers, and tourism impacts and
Page 4 of 22
opportunities. The impact of the growth of Lee College will also be
examined.
(e) Sustainability and Vulnerability
Existing vulnerability to hazards and specific policies and
improvements already planned and/or programmed.
(f) Revitalization and Neighborhoods
Existing development policies and regulations (including any
redevelopment incentives), annexation history and status, past
revitalization successes and challenges, and other factors that
influence community form and character and provide opportunities
for or constraints to future development and redevelopment. Also,
existing housing market conditions and housing stock status in
terms of availability, variety and affordability relative to the housing
needs of current and prospective residents.
(g) Quality of Life and Sense of Community
The area's physical characteristics and context, including locations
of valued natural, historical and cultural assets. Also, existing parks
and recreation assets and other City facilities, and specific
improvements already planned and/or programmed. Additionally,
existing events and destinations that enable public gatherings and
foster a sense of community.
(6) Complete field reconnaissance with City staff and independently to:
(a) Observe existing conditions and on -the -ground outcomes from
previous plan implementation activities and application of the
City's development regulations and economic development
incentives, including land use compatibility, development quality
considerations, and community aesthetics and image;
(b) Develop a photographic inventory for use during the project;
(c) Identify areas that may need or be conducive for a special area
planning focus within the overall comprehensive planning effort.
Engagement Activities
The Consultant shall:
(1) Facilitate an initial, informal Issues and Needs Joint Workshop involving
the City Council, Planning and Zoning Commission and others, as
appropriate. The workshop purpose is partly orientation to the community
planning process, but especially to obtain early leadership input and set
"big picture" direction and priorities for the effort.
Page 5 of 22
(2) Coordinate with City staff to arrange and conduct a series of up to four
informal, one -hour "listening sessions." Some sessions may be targeted to
stakeholders associated with a particular plan focus (e.g., economic
development, parks and recreation, etc.) or a certain demographic (e.g.,
high school age youth, senior citizens, etc.) while other sessions could
involve a mix of residents, business and property owners, public officials,
developers/builders/realtors, representatives of community organizations,
and others as identified by local officials and staff to discuss their hopes,
concerns and priorities for the community's future. Each session should
involve no more than 12-15 persons to ensure effective dialogue. The
Consultant will coordinate with City staff to determine the best timing for
these sessions within the Existing City phase, in conjunction with
scheduled trips for other project meetings and activities (with some
sessions possibly scheduled in the breakfast or lunch timeframe or
during late afternoon, along with evening time slots, to accommodate
the availability of different target attendees).
(3) Coordinate with City staff to arrange and facilitate a community -wide
Town Hall Meeting on Baytown's Future. This evening event is intended
for broad public participation to obtain early input to the planning process
from residents and other stakeholders, using a variety of interactive and
hands-on engagement activities.
(4) Conduct two work sessions with the Comprehensive Plan Advisory
Committee (CPAC) during the Existing City phase, one of which, if
feasible for the City, could involve a mobile meeting approach to take the
discussion "on the road" and consider actual community conditions and
examples in real time. The Consultant will use each extended workshop
meeting with the committee (typically two hours minimum on a weekday
evening) to present and discuss interim draft materials for the planning
effort. The committee will be charged with reviewing the draft materials
and entering into discussion and debate on all plan assumptions, themes
and concepts, and an eventual community action agenda during the Future
City phase.
The Consultant will advise City staff on considerations for the structure
and formation of an advisory committee, but the committee generally
should be comprised of no more than 20 individuals, including liaison
representatives of the City Council and Planning and Zoning
Commission. Along with geographic representation from across the
community, the committee composition should reflect local interests
relevant to the plan effort and topics. Rather than serving on the
committee, representatives of various other agencies and organizations can
be invited to attend as relevant topics are considered at particular
meetings.
Page 6 of 22
(5) Develop a shared project website for the Comprehensive Plan and the
Corridor Plan, independent of but linked to the City website, utilizing
WebPlan. After creating the project website during the Existing
City/Corridor phases, the Consultant will then coordinate with City staff
throughout the Project to develop project -related content and items to be
posted on the website for public information purposes (e.g., upcoming
public events, interim draft plan content/maps, other photos and visuals,
etc.). The timing and frequency of such posts will be linked to specific
engagement activities and deliverable milestones. The project website can
be linked to the City website, and the City can direct users and highlight
new posts via its website and social media outlets. The project website
will be designed, programmed, maintained and monitored by the
Consultant. A brand, theme, logo, and slogan for the Project will be
developed in coordination with City staff for incorporation into the
website design and use on other project documents, materials and
presentations.
(6) Coordinate with City staff to repeat certain engagement activities at more
locations (e.g., town hall meetings, community workshops/open houses,
additional listening sessions, etc.) and/or conduct more targeted outreach
(e.g., impromptu "pop-up" activities during certain community events or
at specific locations). The project budget includes a dedicated dollar
amount that effectively provides a pool of consultant labor hours (and
associated mileage expense) for such supplemental engagement activities
as the need arises. The Consultant will draw down this pool as activities
are planned and completed (as authorized case -by -case by City staff), and
the Consultant will keep City staff apprised of remaining dollars within
the pool. The extent and rate at which the pool is utilized (if at all), and
during which phases of the Projects, will depend on needs and
opportunities identified by City staff and the specific types of activities.
This arrangement will also require sufficient advance notice to the
Consultant to ensure availability of consultant personnel. NOTE: Any
unused pool amount will not be billed to the City, including the entire
amount if no supplemental engagement activities occur.
(7) Prepare "meeting in a box" materials that will enable City staff or others,
independent of the Consultant, to facilitate informal group discussions or
lead other types of basic engagement activities that will expand overall
community participation in the Comprehensive Plan update, yield useful
input, and do so in a consistent, structured way. The Consultant will
prepare a new "meeting in the box" for each of the five phases of the
Comprehensive Plan process.
Summary results of such activities must be processed by those leading each
activity (based on guidance included in the box), and transmitted to the
Page 7 of 22
Consultant in an electronic format (i.e., Microsoft Word or Excel file
template provided with the box materials) for ease of integration into
overall engagement results for the Comprehensive Plan. The Consultant
will also coordinate with City staff to ensure a reasonable upper limit
on the number of such independently -led meetings and activities given
budgetary limits on the Consultant's ability to incorporate extensive
additional input.
Deliverables
The Consultant shall provide the following deliverables for this phase of the
Project:
(1) The Existing City Report, in PDF format, which will highlight key
planning considerations emerging from the Consultant's initial background
studies and leadership and community involvement activities. The report
will include up to 50 pages of final content (plus supplemental appendix
detail, as appropriate), and will incorporate maps, graphics or other visual
elements that help to illustrate findings while streamlining the extent of
body text for a broadly accessible public document. The intent is to avoid
duplication of comprehensive data profiles already available for Baytown
and focus on highlighting specific indicators that tell a story about key
planning issues facing the community, put such issues in context, and/or
apply actual data and facts to correct any misperceptions.
(2) Project website, developed using WebPlan as described above. The
Existing City Report will be posted on the project website during this
phase, as well as any public engagement notices or other project -related
items.
(3) Project brand, theme, logo and slogan, delivered as electronic and graphic
files.
(4) "Meeting in a box" materials, one set for each of the five Comprehensive
Plan phases.
b. Phase 2 Comprehensive Plan
Plan Direction and Assumptions
Through this transition phase, the Consultant will highlight its findings about the
Existing City to set the stage for the Future City phase. This will involve:
(1) Itemizing a core set of assumptions on which the Comprehensive Plan will
be based, especially with regard to a consensus population projection
derived from a set of alternative scenarios;
Page 8 of 22
(2) Highlighting the key opportunities and challenges the community will face
in the years ahead, which the plan must address;
(3) Drafting a series of guiding principles for the plan that will be refined
through the Future City phase; and
(4) Establishing linkages to the Strategic Directives of the Imagine Baytown
Strategic Plan.
Engagement Activities
The Consultant shall:
(1) Provide an overview of the Existing City Report and seek feedback on the
draft Comprehensive Plan Direction and Outline memorandum through a
second joint workshop involving the City Council, Planning and Zoning
Commission and CPAC members. Based on the workshop results, the
Consultant will then finalize the memorandum with City staff before work
proceeds on the Future City phase.
(2) Community Workshop., Open House. Coordinate with City staff to arrange
and facilitate this community -wide event, which is designed to present and
receive feedback on the Existing City Report and set the stage for the
Future City component of the plan. Engagement activities will be hands-
on, interactive, and designed to meet the specific needs of Baytown. This
evening meeting is intended for broad public participation and is typically
designed in a "come and go" open house format to accommodate varying
schedules of attendees, relative to the commitment of attending an entire
Town Hall Meeting as in the Existing City phase.
Deliverables
The Consultant shall provide the following deliverables for this phase of the
Project:
(1) Comprehensive Plan Direction and Outline memorandum, in PDF format,
which summarizes the assumptions, key opportunities and challenges, and
guiding principles resulting from the Existing City phase, and provides a
working outline of the Comprehensive Plan document to guide work
efforts during the Future City phase.
(2) Updates to project website. The Comprehensive Plan Direction and Outline
memorandum will be posted on the project website during this phase, as
well as any public engagement notices or other project -related items.
Page 9 of 22
C. Phase 3 Comprehensive Plan
The Future City
The Consultant will prepare the Future City portion of the plan through this phase
based on the outline finalized at the end of the Plan Direction and Assumptions
phase plus further interaction with City officials, staff, residents and other
stakeholders during this phase. The Future City portion will focus on key
planning issues and considerations, further refined guiding principles and
associated community goals, objectives and policies by topic area of the plan,
and a series of specific action items in five categories: (i) capital improvements;
(ii) programs and initiatives; (iii) development regulations and standards; (iv)
partnerships (public/public, public/private, etc.); and (v) more targeted
plans/studies that may be necessary to ensure effective action, recruit
partners, establish eligibility for grants or other external funding, and to focus on
particular sub -areas of the community in follow-up to the community -wide plan.
During the Future City phase, the Consultant will:
(1) Assess the long-range development outlook and context for Baytown and
its ETJ, along with recommended measures for shaping and managing the
community's growth and livability effectively. Drawing from results of the
Existing City phase and discussions with staff and other key contacts,
considerations will include:
(a) Growth Capacity
The general capacity outlook for the community's water,
wastewater and storm drainage systems, and planning -level
improvement needs and their approximate timing based on
projected growth and potential redevelopment activity. Also,
identification of funding opportunities for drainage improvements
in conjunction with the Master Drainage Plan.
(b) Land Use
Identification of areas available most suitable and preferred for new
growth and targeted reinvestment, taking into account potential
constraints such as floodplains and other physical, environmental
and hazard vulnerability factors, existing land use and property
ownership patterns, the transportation network, and infrastructure
and public service capacities and availability. Also, tools available
to Texas municipalities for directing and managing growth within
their City limits and ETJs and for spurring needed redevelopment,
infill and revitalization so that a greater share of projected growth
may be absorbed in areas already served by public infrastructure
and services.
Page 10 of 22
(c) Mobility and Transportation
Policies and projects for the orderly improvement of the area
transportation system, considering not only facilities for
automobiles but also pedestrian and bicycle circulation and transit
(taking into account plans and programs of Harris County,
Chambers County, the Houston -Galveston Area Council, METRO,
Harris County Transit and the Texas Department of Transportation
- Houston District).
(d) Economic Opportunity and Tourism
Strategies and policies to strengthen the community's economic
base and tax base, including consideration of the fiscal implications
of future development patterns, tourism growth potential, Lee
College growth, and associated upgrades or extension of public
infrastructure and services (taking into account strategic plans,
Imagine Baytown's priorities for key economic drivers such as
tourism, industry, etc., and the Baytown -West Chambers County
Economic Development Foundation's efforts).
(e) Sustainability and Vulnerability
Policies, strategies and priority projects to address Baytown's
vulnerability to hazards, including flooding. Also, integration of
hazard vulnerability considerations into the plan direction for future
land use, growth patterns, redevelopment and public investments.
(f) Revitalization and Neighborhoods
Strategies for overcoming any identified barriers to local housing
development whether in terms of price, variety or quality, as well as
associated neighborhood conditions that can support or hinder
redevelopment potential. Also, policies, strategies and projects to
encourage investment and redevelopment in targeted
underperforming areas.
(g) Quality of Life and Sense of Community
Priorities for enhancing the community's park and recreation sites
and other facility assets, and promoting healthy living opportunities
for residents, developed in coordination with the Parks, Recreation,
Trails, and Open Space Master Plan. Also, community image and
appearance in terms of development quality and conditions along
high -profile roadways and at "gateway" locations, urban design
factors and beautification efforts within public areas, and
preservation of valued natural/cultural/historical amenities.
Engagement Activities
The Consultant shall:
Page 11 of 22
(1) Conduct three work sessions with the CPAC during this phase to present
and discuss interim draft Future City materials and refine the future land
use and thoroughfare plan maps, and
(2) Coordinate with City staff to arrange and facilitate this third
community -wide event, which will focus on prioritizing
recommendations for the Future City portion of the Comprehensive
Plan. To avoid just another typical public meeting, the town hall will
be designed with a variety of hands-on feedback exercises.
Deliverables
The Consultant shall provide the following deliverables for this phase of the
Project:
(1) Draft Future City portion of the Comprehensive Plan, in PDF format, as
developed incrementally through the CPAC process and work sessions
during this phase;
(2) An updated Future Land Use map that visually depicts the community's
preferred growth and development pattern for the years ahead, thereby
providing essential public policy support for the City's associated
development regulations and other growth guidance tools;
The map will also correlate with associated land use policies, the future
thoroughfare network, and other community objectives that are validated
through the planning process (e.g., economic development, infill
development and community revitalization, fiscally prudent growth,
floodplain management, etc.).
(3) An updated current Thoroughfare Plan map
The evaluation will take into account recent and anticipated growth and
land development activity, any changed physical conditions or other
circumstances pertinent to the current map, and the related transportation
planning of other entities (e.g., Harris County, Chambers County, the
Houston -Galveston Area Council, Texas Department of Transportation,
etc.).
(4) Updates to project website.

(3) To the extent possible given differing project timelines, prepare a unified
Community Engagement Summary with highlights of community input at
the respective levels of each plan, plus appendix detail. This will enable
SPAC and CPAC to benefit from the entire spectrum of input, then drill
down into the community sentiments and priorities most pertinent to each
plan.
(4) Arrange for joint SPAC. CPAC review of draft content with implications
for both plans (e.g., Strategic Plan primary directive/purpose and
Comprehensive Plan draft vision and guiding principles, Strategic Plan
strategic directives and Comprehensive Plan draft goals, Strategic Plan
strategic initiatives that may be elaborated on through Comprehensive Plan
action items, etc.).
(5) Coordinate publicistakeholder messaging (and also internally across City
departments) to promote awareness of both plans, educate on their
respective focus and uses, and avoid confusion on the concurrent processes
and outcomes. Utilize both the Baytown Engage and Consultant's WebPlan

opportunities/challenges, plan implementation successes, tools resources
and partners for implementation of both plans, graphics.fimages, glossaries
of technical and other terms, etc.).
(2) Establish links between the Strategic Plan and the Comprehensive Plan
such as:
- Common or complementary vision and guiding principles.
- Shared assumptions (e.g., population/demographic trends, etc.).
- Certain Comprehensive Plan goals flow, in part, from related Strategic
Plan strategic directives.
Exhibit "A -I," Page 5
- Comprehensive Plan action items build and elaborate on broader
Strategic Plan strategic initiatives.
- Comprehensive Plan implementation strategy incorporate same
Strategic Plan framework of measures of success and
metrics/benchmarks using the same ones for both plans where
applicable.
