Task 3.4 Land Use Alternatives Build -Out Model MIG will build a Land Use Alternatives Build -Out Model using Microsoft Excel that will integrate the existing baseline land use information, assumptions, and formulas for indicators and the quantitative results from the land use alternatives developed in the previous tasks. The custom Build -Out Model will identify all the assumptions for each land use category and for each alternative. The Build -Out Model will analyze two land use alternatives for the Land Use Visioning focus and corridor areas. The Model will also summarize the results In a simple, easy -to -read summary page that can be exported into Microsoft Word or PowerPoint or PDF. Task 3.5 Client Working Session #2 (Review Alternatives and Draft Model) MIG will meet with City staff, and if necessary the Inter -Team, to review findings from the one -day land use and design charrette. The meeting will also be used to present the Draft Land Use Alternatives Build -Out Model. MIG will bring a laptop with a working version of the model and review the results project on a screen. MIG will prepare an agenda and materials in advance of the meeting to support this discussion. Task 3 Deliverables Client Working Session #1 (Assumptions/Methodology) Land Use Assumptions and Methodology Memorandum (PDF) • Land Use Alternatives Envision Map(s) (PDF and ArcGIS Map Package) Draft Land Use Alternatives Build -Out Model (Excel) Client Working Session #2 (Review Draft Model) TASK 4 — LAND USE SCENARIO VISUALIZATION Task 4.1 Draft Visualization Concepts After capturing the essence of each land use alternatives area through the charrette process and City staff working sessions, MIG will create a collection of graphics that illustrate the visual conditions proposed within each of the areas and alternatives. MIG will work with City staff to identify how best to illustrate the visual conditions and what combination of visualization tools and methods will best tell the story about the potential changes for each area and alternative, and how the changes will fit into the surrounding context. MIG has an array of visualization tools ranging from photo -realistic animations, photo simulations, interactive real-time virtual models, and conceptual artist renderings. We will stay flexible throughout the visual analysis process until as late as possible to help the team identify the right style(s) and process to communicate effectively. MIG has budgeted visualization for up to eight areas and up to two land use scenarios for each area. MIG will prepare up to 16 draft images of the selected visualization tools and revise them based on one round of City comments. Visualization will include building type and massing, street and public realm improvements, and transportation improvements. Draft virtual models will be provided to City staff using Sketch Up Viewer software. Task 4.2 Client Working Session #3 (Draft Visualization Results) MIG will present the draft visualization concepts from Task 4.1 (Draft Visualization Concepts) to City staff during a working session. The purpose of the meeting is to get feedback from City staff to move to the final visualization phase. MIG will prepare an agenda and materials in advance of the meeting to support this discussion. Task 4.3 Final Rendering and PhotoShop Compositions With direction from City staff in Task 4.2, MIG will finalize the photo -realistic animations, photo simulations, interactive real-time virtual models, and conceptual artist renderings. MIG will prepare up to 16 final images of the selected visualization tools and revise them based on one round of City comments. Task 4.4 Integration with Urban Footprint (SCAG Scenario Planning Model) MIG will work with City staff to integrate the land use alternatives into the SCAG's Scenario Planning Model. MIG will develop a matrix that aligns the City proposed land use designations with SCAG's library of 35 Place Types. MIG will also assist with the assumptions transfer from the build out model to SCAG's model, as well as analyzing scenario results. We have budgeted a specific number of hours for this task, not knowing the extent to which City staff will want our assistance. If additional work is needed beyond the budgeted amount for this task, it will be performed on a time -and -materials basis with prior written authorization from the City.
