• Review and update as -built utility information. • Request utility mapping from all affected utility owners • Update base mapping with existing utility information • Based on our understanding of the utilities and the impact of our project on those utilities, we are not anticipating needing any potholing • Submit utility maps to impacted utility owners for verification. • Identify potential utility conflicts. • Coordinate the above work with the utility owners. Community Outreach & Presentations Designs should respond to and reflect the Communities' specific needs. If desired by the City, NUVIS will include community meetings with the goal of receiving input and ultimately, receiving approval by the City. The key to achieving desired results is to maximize involvement as early in the process as possible. Interested and affected parties want to present input and have a `voice' before decisions are made by others. Involvement by all interested parties is encouraged throughout the design process, with each phase of the process responding to and building upon the input received. Occasionally, ideas presented cannot be incorporated into the design due to program conflicts, budgetary issues, and/or right-of-way or jurisdictional concerns. Through early collaboration, voices can be heard and responded to without simply being dismissed. NUVIS' role at community meetings will be to assist the agency in merging ideas and developing pertinent issues into feasible and agreed upon solutions. The goals of each session differ as the process evolves, but the following would be used as general guidelines: • listen and learn, • seek out the "experts" in specialized areas, • explore the concerns of interested parties, • ask questions. • assist in mitigating conflicts between interest groups, give recommendations and information, and • receive information. To assist in guiding the communication, NUVIS will provide handouts and/or develop a PowerPoint presentation as contracted by the City. Information may include agenda, project background information, reduced plans etc. NUVIS may also provide renderings, exhibits and computer -generated graphics (Before/Afters) to help convey project information and design intent. In addition to community meetings, NUVIS is available to support the City at presentations to stakeholders, Commissions, Councils and other governing agencies or interested bodies. NUVIS will provide exhibits to assist in conveying the design intent and be available to answer questions and provide recommendations. Information gathered at presentations may be used to refine the design solution for a project. 16
