B. Storyboarding Urban3 will collaborate with City of South Bend staff on the storyboarding process; an extension and distillation of the graphics process. More graphics and visualizations will come out of this phase as well as a condensed message and conclusion from the data. Deliverable:Task 2 Task 3: Final Model Review Process & Site Visit At the end of this process we will organize the work into a packaged product to present to staff and the community explaining the analyses. The three key elements which we will convey are: the inner -workings of the revenue system, the distribution of costs, and the methodology for distributing relevant costs spatially. In this task, Joe Minicozzi will deliver the results of the analysis to the Council and the Planning Commission in a work session, if desired. Josh McCarty will present the methodology and work directly with staff to ensure the data and model can be updated internally going forward. Task 3 Deliverable: Presentations site - 2 days Task 4: Data Structure Package Upon completion of the project, Urban3 will work with South Bend staff to create a data design system to link existing data sets together. We will require about 40 hours per month from GIS staff over the duration of the project with recurring meetings. The intent is that City staff will be able to maintain and update the datasets going forward. We will deliver final versions of our cost and revenue models. These models include the parcel dataset with the distributed road values and relevant cost figures in shapefile and tabular format, relevant summary tables and the map files used to create the graphics. Generally, any of the intermediary work that we generate to calculate the final model will be made available to the City. This last step will be important as we will also leave South Bend staff with a working dataset to understand and continue the work internally. We consider this to be an open process rather than a "black box" analysis.
