Project Tasks The following task hour budget summarizes our estimated level of effort for each of the major task categories identified in the RFP. A preliminary project schedule is also provided that shows the general sequence of work we will follow to complete the City approval by February 2017. As noted in the schedule, we will discuss the details of how the City approval process may be adjusted to account for the Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) schedule at the kick-off meeting. Options are to request that RCWD review and approve the plan prior to February 2017, or to wait for Council adoption of the plan until after RCWD approves the plan. Deliverables for this project include all electronic files used in development of planning document. This includes all GIS files, Microsoft Word and Excel files, photos and graphics used in the plan and any open house story boards, etc. SEH will deliver all files electronically to the City. The primary deliverable will be the final version of the CSWMP. Our scope of work and fee estimate assumes we will deliver the document in a format that allows for easy posting on the City's website in pdf format with static maps similar to what the current version provides and what most other municipalities have for their plans. We are proposing two additional services to discuss further with the City during final contracting to enhance the format of the final plan deliverable: Creating a truly interactive plan version utilizing a web -based format. An example plan is found in this Stormwater Management Guidance Manual from Philadelphia, which is very well done in an easily navigable and searchable web -based format. Platforms such as WordPress and SquareSpace are utilized to develop responsive web designs which are easily navigable on a wide range of devices - from desktops to mobile phones. The estimated cost of this additional effort is on the order of $4,000 to $5,000. Incorporating interactive map -based elements. An example of this is this San Francisco green infrastructure map which would be a great and unique way to highlight the completed improvement projects located throughout the City. The City of Boulder has used interactive maps extensively for their Comprehensive Plan to create an engaging and informative tool that goes beyond static maps. A similar approach could be followed for the Surface Water Management Plan, including map layers for the City of Roseville's drainage and conveyance system, wetlands and surface waters, land use, and watershed boundaries. Two additional examples with surface water and stormwater relevant interactive map layers include King County and Philadelphia. The estimated cost of this additional effort is on the order of $3,000 to $4,000. In 2013, the CSWMP Update was approximately $18,000 under budget, so our team's thought was to use at least a portion of that to develop web -based and/or map -based interactive plan versions. We are eager to learn more about how the recent IT system improvements will provide a platform for the 2017 Plan update, and we look forward to working with staff to deliver an interactive plan format that will set the Plan apart by being more accessible to today's public and development community.
