PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT
• • •
Why us?
60+ years of experience in the design of community aquatic and recreation facilities. Local Experience - completed 2 similar projects in El Dorado and Jonesboro, Arkansas. Excellent understanding of the dynamics of community groups—essential in Public Outreach.
Overview
Gaining input from the public can be key to understanding the facility from the user’s perspective, and to develop a plan that will be supported by the public. Input from the public is generally only as good as the awareness and understanding that the public has with respect to possibilities, constraints, and financial impact. All public input should begin with an educational component. Engaging a diverse makeup of the community, such as age and type of use, will provide a more well-rounded input process. We will work with you to identify the specific schedule and methodology early in the process to ensure the methods selected fit the goals of the study.
What we want to learn: 9 9 9 9 9 9
What is the level of interest and support in aquatics? Where are community members going to fulfill their swimming needs? How do community members want to utilize the pool facilities? What are community members looking for in a pool facility? What amenities or features are of interest? Who might be utilizing the facility?

Marketing Examples:
Possible Engagement Methods: In-person and online strategies General public meetings (e.g., in-person via open house or town hall format, virtual public meetings have become popular) o
o
Dot Survey
o
Less formal public meetings and Advisory Group meetings to help the community feel more welcome and conducive to participation. Town Hall style meetings are important, but we would love to work with other City groups to explore and implement other types of ideas to actively take the design process to the community. Here are just a few suggestions: Corner Office - A regular "corner office" at the site every week, for a few hours for one month. Have a few boards with ideas/images, offer coffee and snacks, partner with a food truck in the parking lot
Focus group meetings (e.g., special user groups, existing neighborhood and/or neighbors near a new location, potential partners, etc.) Create an Advisory Group o Made up of City of Conway staff and key community stakeholders. o Provides guidance on the most effective outreach methods to share information within their membership/spheres of influence. o Provide Feedback on messaging
3D Rendering
Survey (non-statistically valid online survey or statistical valid if needed) Stakeholder Interviews
o o
Social Pinpoint Website
pg. 7
Qualitative research provides key information on strategic and tactical decisions. Exploratory in nature, using focus groups and workshop methods, to discover a variety of opinions, issues, reasons, attitudes, and motivations.
Possible Methods Continued: Set up a booth at City event(s) Take the show on the road to local and neighborhood youth soccer matches, high school basketball games, the farmer’s market, music, arts and other cultural events (such as …Toad Suck Daze). Project page on the City’s website or other platform (Social Pinpoint) Create a multilingual website for the project where all public meeting materials and videos are posted so the public has a place to go to learn about the project, obtain the latest information, ask questions, and provide input. Social media plan and engagement Use video and image marketing to inform the community on the project’s key milestones, and to obtain input. This is an effective way to engage the public and reach individuals who do not have the time to attend meetings and who want to participate and stay informed. Feedback forms or contact cards Engage the local media to create awareness for the project and communicate its benefits to the community. This will be targeted mainly to the individuals that are not able to attend public or neighborhood meetings for a variety of reasons.

Major Renovation (Currently under construction)
Project Description Kirksville’s original aquatic facility opened in 1999 and featured an indoor lap pool as well as an outdoor leisure pool. The Aquatic Center served the community well, and in 2016, a feasibility study found that major renovations would be needed in order to keep the facility operable. Kirksville City Council elected to proceed with the planning and design of a new aquatic facility after the successful passing of a 1/2 cent sales tax. Water Edge Aquatic Design teamed with SFS Architecture and SWT Design to revitalize and improve the Kirksville Aquatic Center in 2018. Improvements included renovating the outdoor pool, indoor pool, and building. Portions of the pool structures were salvaged and incorporated into the improvements to maximize the project budget. Public engagement was a critical piece of the planning process. Public meetings and an online survey were conducted to collect feedback about what the facility should offer and how community members wanted to utilize the facility. The community had a strong interest in programming, and the needs of those programs were considered. The indoor pool was designed to allow for swim team practice and lap swimming, water walking, and water aerobics, while being able to expand who could utilize the facility by adding in shallow water. The outdoor pool was designed to offer fun and more modern features, with attention to not increase the lifeguard demand and creating spaces for varying abilities and activity levels.

In 2009, the YMCA began to envision possible options for upgrading their Y and planning officially kicked off in 2014. During this time, fundraising efforts were also underway. The City of Marion contributed over 6 million dollars toward the new facility via the “Function and Fitness” Partnership with the YMCA. Three years later in 2017, Waters Edge Aquatic Design teamed with OPN Architects to begin developing concepts for an entirely new YMCA. Waters Edge worked closely with the team to understand the vision and concept that would serve the Marion community.

PROJECT TYPE Major Renovation
Project Description Waters Edge Aquatic Design engineers provided the city of Shawnee, OK, with a feasibility study of the existing WPA pool which was built in the 1930’s. Many options were studied, which ranged from simple renovations to complete replacement. The results of the study allowed the city to save portions of the bathhouse and the diving well structure, which allotted more of the budget to modern aquatic play features Since the existing diving basin was too shallow for one-meter and three-meter diving, Waters Edge designers took an unusual approach to deepening the pool by raising the walls and surrounding the deck of the swimming pool. The result is a unique elevated diving well with a cascading water fall along the entire face of the pool. The facility also complements the surrounding park by providing a spray ground and concession area that can be utilized during events in the park, with a unique barrier fence approach. The project also restored the appearance of the bathhouse closer to its original 1930’s appearance, which was important in keeping with part of the historical significance to the park. The City was excited with the design of a modern and unique park while remaining to salvage the original history and enjoyment the park has brought and continues to bring to Shawnee over the years.

Each pool is packed with exciting aquatic features, including rockscaping with waterfalls, various water slides, playful sprays, deep water diving, climbing walls, and a large interactive play structure with a dumping bucket. Let’s not forget the Boomerango feature water slide, which is the first of its kind in the region and is a major attraction for thrill-seekers! Additionally, the facility includes a raised sun deck area great for sunbathing while viewing the park, a large concessions, a stage area for performances, and a western/prairie theme that serve to further enhance the experience of its patrons.

In February 2016, OLC commenced work on a new and exciting design for Estes Valley that the community had attempted to build for 60 years. There had been a concept design in place for voter approval. When OLC took on the design assignment, we generated a plan that was almost 10% more efficient in its ability to accommodate program areas. This allowed the Parks District to enlarge activity areas such as the gymnasiums and fitness areas while reducing the overall square footage. What this means is more programming capacity for less money. The feature areas include extensive multi-purpose/ meeting rooms with a commercial kitchen, arts studio, group exercise rooms, gymnasium, computer/resource area, fitness spaces and locker rooms.

Project Description
The new Batesville Community Center and Aquatics Center was designed by Bernhard and ETC Engineers. It is located in the heart of heart of Fitzhugh Park in Batesville, Arkansas. The 105,000 square foot facility was designed to give local residents a convenient place to have fun, keep fit and enjoy many inviting attractions. The facility features an indoor aquatics center and an outdoor aquatics center including a lazy river, splash pad, and spiral slides. Other features of the new facility include a 25,000 square foot gymnasium, a fitness center and weight room, basketball court, and walking track.
Bernhard provided mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection design services, structural design services, as well as construction administration for the project. The $22 million facility was completed in 2017.
pg. 60
Indoor & Outdoor Aquatics Park The Aquatic Center’s indoor section includes a zero depth heated therapy pool, an eight-lane competition pool, indoor splash pad, and a zero depth entry children’s pool. The 12,000 square foot outdoor section features a 400-meter lazy river, splash pad, 2 two-story spiral slides, a wading pool and dive pool, and tanning decks. The facility has a 25,000 square foot gymnasium for athletic and community events, a fitness center and weight room, three basketball courts, a walking track, catering kitchen, meeting rooms, event spaces, and a racquetball court.
Scope of Work The project provides for the construction of the Batesville Community Center and Aquatic Park. The facility is divided into three main areas with the indoor aquatics park located to the north, the gymnasium located to the south, and the community center which is centrally located and joins the three buildings. The construction of the three buildings was completed in two phases, with the aquatic facility in the first phase and the gymnasium and community center in the second phase. Bernhard provided MEPFP design and structural design services for the project. Structurally, the community center is a two-story steel framed building with a high and arched roof along the main entry. The lateral load resisting system was specifically detailed for seismic resistance. The pool enclosure consists of aluminum truss frames, and the roof framing is supported by round steel pipe columns. The gym is a single-story pre-engineered metal building with an elevated running track around the perimeter. The mechanical systems for the aquatic facility include a dehumidification Pool Pak unit serving the indoor pool, a direct expansion VAV air handler, and a direct fired make-up air unit serving the lockers/showers. Energy recovery air handling units serve the gymnasium. The plumbing systems designed include domestic hot/cold water, sanitary sewer, grease trap, natural gas, and storm sewer systems. The design of the fire protection system complied with NFPA 13, the local fire department, and the city utility company. Our team designed the fire sprinkler systems, and electrical systems including normal power, standby power, fire alarm, security, and lighting systems.

PROJECT TYPE Feasibility Study
One of the keys to keeping everyone happy was determining an appropriate site that would be acceptable to all. The team used a non-biased, customtailored matrix which served well in the two-step process, first reducing the number of sites from 32 to 14, and then narrowing them down to 2 final contenders. From the final two options, the team created two site ‘test fit’ plans which determined each option would prove to be viable. This kind of nonbiased approach results in buy in from all the parties and makes former competitors into allies in the quest to serve the recreational needs of the entire population. OLC worked with Ballard*King on this project.

Project Description
LOCATION
It always becomes a balancing act when recreational swim needs are pitted against those of competitive swimmers. The highly accomplished and successful Cape Girardeau High School Swim Team has been training for decades in an antiquated and inefficient outdoor 50-meter pool that has been enclosed with a seasonal bubble for all weather use. Inconsistent water temperature, failing systems, and poor air quality are among the many maladies that plague the facility. The swim team is determined to maintain the long course ability of the 50-meter configuration with any new construction that might take place. At the same time, regional demographics suggest there is an immense part of the population that is under served when it comes to recreational swim, and that in fact this segment of the population far eclipses any other when it comes to swim visits per year. The dilemma is ‘what to do when the ability to fund does not support the program need?’ Sound familiar?

DESIGN APPROACH
Design Approach
DESIGN PROCESS Our Design Team has decades of experience designing the exact same community spaces that are being proposed for the new Aquatic and Recreation Center. This experience is absolutely critical for a successful outcome, because our team can bring forth a wealth of knowledge about how other communities around the US have successfully engaged with their constituents. Our Design Process is uniquely suited to bring about the best this project has to offer, and hinges on the 5 Key Concepts outlined below: PASSIONATE PROFESSIONALS OLC brings enthusiasm, professionalism, and responsiveness to the team for the City’s Community and Aquatic Recreation Facilities. Your recreation design team will remain the same from project kick off to close out. Project Architect Sam McGuire, Principal-In-Charge Bob McDonald, and Design Principal Brian Beckler will play key roles from beginning to end. To summarize, our team will: x Engage the Community and Staff early in the process and suggest a design and programming solution that balances desires with the budget to best meet the needs of all users. x Design durable, efficient, easy to maintain systems that will last for decades and improve the end user experience. x Constantly raise the bar to a higher level of performance for all aspects of the Project. The advantage is the Team you select will have zero learning curve. We all know our parts, and will jump in leading the process on day one saving you time and money.

PLANNING AND PROGRAMMING The programming and planning of Aquatic and Recreation Center projects is what we do. We completed our first recreation center improvement project with the Town of Parker, Colorado over 20 years ago, where we corrected many missteps in the original facility design, and boosted cost recovery significantly. Our approach to the design of the Community Aquatic and Recreation facilities is to: 9 Work with staff to identify a target audience(s) and maximize programming opportunities associated with each. 9 Take advantage of great view corridors both internally and externally to the facility. 9 Verify the program areas and support area sizes and their relationships to new amenities such as locker rooms, walk/jog track, and storage to assure they are adequate. 9 Consider potential to combine amenity functions for flexibility. 9 Minimize corridors and other non-programmed support space. 9 Present alternative planning proposals that improve flow and provide the best end user experience from a staff and customer standpoint. 9 Provide a solid plan early on such that demolition, grading, excavation and foundation construction can begin as soon as possible. 9 Reconcile the planning solution with the budget early on and continuously throughout all design phases. 9 Ensure the same Principals that begin the design process with you will be the same throughout the construction process as well. That way, we guarantee all the hard work we completed during design will be translated into reality in the field. 9 Insist that the dollars you invest are distributed in the best way. . . To your program areas. Use these Tools and Strategies: o
Interactive Program Area Summary and Cost Estimator
o
Online, virtual Stakeholder Meetings using Zoom Conferencing, break-out rooms, real-time polling, and interactive whiteboards
o
In-person meetings as COVID-19 protocols allow
The advantage is that the programs you develop will be in response to what the Users in the Community actually need. The end users will realize the benefits, and as a measure, will be reflected in the facility’s daily uses and cost recovery.
EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION Our team is composed of effective communicators that are at ease in front of a City Council or communicating behind the scenes. But, effective communication is not all just public presentations and PowerPoint. It’s more about the effective management and dissemination of information by: 9 Timely compilation and distribution of meeting notes. 9 Implementation of an FTP site 9 Record keeping of all email communication 9 Providing the City access to design files 9 Construction Administration Site that contains all submittal materials 9 Ongoing engagement of City Staff at all levels 9 Keeping and open-door policy. 9 Most important is being responsive 9 Maintaining Principal led process The advantage is that every decision that is made has a documented history, and virtually nothing will slip through the cracks.
pg. 75
DESIGN TO BUDGET Our Team has an impeccable record of on time and on budget project delivery. Cost control does not begin and end with value engineering or even the signing of a guaranteed price. It must permeate each and every phase of the process to be effective and complete. We will assure maximum programming capability for each dollar invested through: 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9
Efficient building planning that minimizes wasted space. Multi-purpose for all areas and amenities that eliminates redundancy. Cost effective structural and mechanical systems. Incremental budget reconciliation as the design evolves. Soft Line Package that serves as a design outline and record of design decisions. Rigorous QC of construction documents minimizing change order requests. Propose no cost alternates to avoid change orders during construction. Manage your contingency throughout construction. Keep the City informed and engaged in any decisions that could have cost implications.

The advantage of this regimen during all project phases is our key to delivering projects that are at and oftentimes under budget. In the case of the Estes Valley Community Center project, we realized nearly a million dollars in unanticipated savings which were set aside for badly needed repairs to the existing aquatic center. Just a little icing on the cake.
pg. 76
RISK MANAGEMENT & QUALITY CONTROL In the construction trailer, we often hear “these are some of the most constructible documents we have ever seen.” While consultant coordination is one key to a great set of drawings, there are many other factors that also contribute to a successful outcome. Several of our QC/QA protocols include: x x x x x x x x
Collaboration with local authorities early and often Bi- weekly coordination meetings and reports. Incremental QC on all submitted documents with one week review and response. Transparent communication and project update 3rd Party document review Ongoing CM/GC constructability review Revit/ BIM for centralized engineering coordination Long time close working relationships with engineering consultants that know the building type
The advantage is the cost model is reconciled with the design through all phases, and is predictable.

BUSINESS PLAN ( Optional)
Our team has the ability to provide a Business Plan if that is a desired and needed. Planning for a facility occurs in the design process to create concepts that fit the needs of the community. It is also vital to plan for the operational success of the facility once it is open. This operational planning begins early in the design process to understated operating opportunities and challenges, such as needs for programming spaces and lifeguard placement and count. Operational planning continues at a more in-depth level to develop a business plan, once concepts are developed and the need for operational realities become more of a focus. Forming a practical and actionable business plan to understand the realistic operating boundaries, opportunities, and possible limitations, will aid in the development of your facility offerings. We conduct business planning for our projects, each varying in scale and focus. This can range from high level revenue and expenditure projections, to detailed breakdowns of budgets, staffing plans, and program development. Items of study and development may include: 9 Expand on the Market Analysis and study market offerings, associated fees and operating conditions 9 Operating conditions, such as schedule and hours, based on study findings and the concept developed 9 Membership and day pass options with associated fees, based on study findings and the concept developed 9 Build off of the Public Engagement/Programming task and create program offerings, including structure, schedules, fees and participation levels 9 Attendance/participation projection 9 Expenditure budgeting by line item 9 Revenue budgeting by line item 9 Cost recovery levels Our team is flexible on the approach and scope of tasks included for the business plan. This task can be inclusive or more basic and we will work with you to determine the level of service that is a best fit for the project and needs identified. Staffing Personnel costs are typically the single highest expenditure line item in an operating budget, and there are staffing logistics and considerations to plan for during the planning phase of a project and also during business planning. Understanding staffing requirements and needs during the planning and design process is a benefit we bring to our process. This level of analysis aids in offering you an operationally efficient facility and also will set the stage for how your facility will operate once it is open. Educating and discussing staffing logistics early can impact both the design and expectation of the facility. We understand the amount of effort and attention that is required of an aquatics staff, and we are able to assist you as you develop the operations for your facility, whether that is for budgetary reasons or for logistical assistance. Uniquely, our team has a former aquatics supervisor and program administrator on staff to help plan and educate in considerations and possible needs of the aquatic staff. Several areas we are able to assist include: 9 Lifeguard zones of coverage and rotation 9 Quantity of staff 9 Lifeguard training resources 9 Staff schedules, including dynamic or phase-in/out schedules 9 Program justification and development 9 Supplies and equipment
