its undergraduate program, its Masters GIS Program and its research unit — the Redlands Institute This concept proposal is for CES to assemble a team of faculty, GIS professionals and students to support the City's Natural Resource Planning and Management objectives Overall program goals and objectives include 1) The need to define the City's long term natural resource conservation and preservation pnonties This process will include the identification of scientific legal and policy cntena for determining the City's pnonties 2) The need to develop a structure for ensuring that future development occurs in suitable areas and is designed in a manner consistent with the City's natural resource conservation and preservation targets This process involves support by the University to establish an information system to facilitate preliminary planning and decision support This may include the development of internal resources for the City as well as public (i e rnternet-accessible) applications and outreach matenals that will help potential developers to screen their plans and essentially 'mitigate' (ensure compliance with City guidelines) during the planning and design phases Such a system would include necessary procedures, databases and computer applications that City staff may use to support the development planning and design process This process includes the need to transfer knowledge and technology to City staff to realize an operational system that staff can maintain 3) The University will also provide as -needed support on a project -by project basis While the goal is to establish a system that makes the overall planning and design process more standardized, effective and efficient, it is recognized that specific projects may require an additional level of support by key University staff to address certain planning and design issues Support by the University is proposed as an ongoing contract that can be managed on a Time and Materials basis to ensure that the City can direct work to the tasks and activities where it requires assistance The University will designate a Lead (point of contact and project manager) to attend planning meetings and manage the day to -day efforts of team members per the requirements and direction of the City 1 MY OF REDLANDS NATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT SUPPORT SERVICES Proposal Approach The Center for

analytical work is fundamental to reaching a formal understanding of the City's resources and project requirements Activity 1 1 Planning Workshops The University team will conduct a series of meetings with City staff to 11 identify project goals and objectives, key issues, resources, requirements and schedule • determine project roles and management procedures • refine the scope of work to align with the City's expectations and requirements Concepts, ideas, suggestions, requirements and action items from these workshops will be documented into a Project Plan that will guide the project implementation A summary of the Project Plan may be presented as a briefing report for the City Manager and City Council Activity 1 2 Inventory and Assessment The University team will work with City staff to review all potentially relevant resources for the project Resources may be digital or hardcopy data staff knowledge operational processes documentation, reference matenal, histoncal information, etc The purpose of this task is to identify resources and their quality/utility for the project Conducting the inventory will enable the project team to become familiar with the City's resources and to assess the value of each resource for meeting project requirements The assessment of resources will enable the project team to determine resource suitability and to recommend areas where resource development is required The project team will conduct an inventory of City resources such as databases, GIS mapping layers, documentation, contact lists, development procedures, and relevant plans Each resource will be cataloged with metadata such as the resource name, date, description, extent and quality The inventory and Assessment will be delivered as a document (manual) and digital database that the City may use for reference The University team will work with City staff to transfer this technology so that the City can maintain and utilize the inventory for its ongoing operations The project team may present a summary of its findings and recommendations to the City Manager and City Council Activity 1 3 Process Capture Workshops The project team will conduct a series of meetings to document the existing procedures, legal requirements rules agencies and authorities and other parameters relevant to land development This information will be captured into a workflow diagram as a means to visually model the components and processing steps for development Understanding this process model is a prerequisite for designing a more automated and efficient process This Procedures Model will be delivered as a hardcopy document (poster) and as a digital model (Microsoft Visio diagram) The project team may present this model to the City Manager and City Council to verify that it correctly captures the existing process for land development 4 CITY OF REDLANDS NATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT SUPPORT SERVICES Activity 1.4 Systems Infrastructure Analysis In this activity, the project team will document the current configuration of the City's information technology infrastructure as the basis for designing any databases or custom business processing applications The project team will document current hardware (pnncrpal servers, input/output peripherals and workstations), networking, and software The results of this inventory will be documented as a System Infrastructure Report and delivered to the City Manager as a brief report that lists current infrastructure and that identifies the potential impacts (limitation and/or improvement possible) to consider when designing new operations, databases and applications TASK 2• DESIGN and RE-ENGINEERING of NATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT In this task the project team will utilize the analytical products of Task 1 to redesign and reengineer operations, databases, applications and system infrastructure to facilitate natural resource management Activity 21 Design Studio The protect team will conduct a series of meetings to review the work products created in Task 1 and to formulate and overall design for improving natural resource management in the City The Design Studio is intended as an open forum where potential alternatives may be identified, evaluated and refined To be successful, the Design Studio must be led by the project team and include significant participation by City staff members of Council, subject matter experts, and committed members of both the City's natural resource management community and its development community From the University's perspective, this process will involve students and faculty and act as a pnncipaf means to foster a cooperatively -designed, community-based, scientifically -valid and operationally -practical natural resource management process The Design Studio would include creative brainstorming sessions (unfiltered) that lead to topical areas (e g a trail network species conservation legal compliance regional planning) specific geographical areas (e g key preservation or conservation targets) or operational components (revised operations, improved databases and software applications) that smaller focus teams would research and design Each focus team will be jointly led by a project member and one or more experts from the City, from the University, and/or from the Redlands Community The Design Studio will be managed so that each focus team works within the practical limitations and guidelines for the City and achieves synergy with other design teams The analytical and design products of the Design Studio will be archived digitally and provided to the City for its future reference After a monitored and managed penod where focus teams are researching and structuring their alternatives, all focus teams will reconvene to present their concepts to representatives of the City The last workshop of the Design Studio will be managed so that the City can assess the potential cost and impact of design alternatives Once the review is complete the City may pnoritize which alternatives are suitable and direct the project team concerning the scope and manner of implementation Based on the pnoritization and direction of the City, the project team will update the Project Plan and use it to guide individual design activities Activity 2 2 Operations Re -Engineering This is the fundamental design activity in which the project team will re engineer the City's operations related to achieve the vision for Improved natural resource management for land development The design of this element will
