It the understanding of WSB that this splash pad project is to be located within Huset Park, with
the actual location identified on the previous overall site master plan to be reviewed and adjusted
as needed to fit with the existing site conditions.
The splash pad master plan design is to provide the City with a more defined location within the
park and shall provide general recommendations for the type of equipment, theming, and water
system that will be appropriate to fit within the desired construction budget of $300,000.
SCOPE OF SERVICES

2. Site Review: Through field research and review of site information and mapping,
WSB will work (in concert with staff, as appropriate) to identify the areas physical
characteristics and determine its developmental opportunities and constraints. This
will allow both the CITY and WSB to develop a clear understanding of the site's
unique characteristics and land use limitations imposed on the project to determine
the most appropriate location for the splash pad.
3. Program Development: WSB shall work with the CITY to develop a complete and
comprehensive assessment of needs, demands and priorities for the splash pad master
plan. WSB will attend one programming meeting with the City and Parks
Commission for discussion on splash pad master plan. The agenda during the
program development meeting will include:
a. Identity the project schedule and intended outcome;
b. Identify and discuss opportunities, concerns and issues;
c. Establish a list of potential program elements and theming ideas that are
appropriate for this park to carry forward into design;
4. Schematic Concept Plans: Building upon the previous tasks, the CONSULTANT
will prepare two alternative schematic concepts for the splash pad. Specific criteria
affecting the concepts include: theming ideas that would be appropriate; examples of
potential the ideal physical relationships between the facilities proposed for the site;
taking advantage of site opportunities; appropriate design themes. Meetings during
the schematic design phase shall include:
a. Teleconference meeting with the City to review and comment on the two
alternate schematic design concept plans. WSB will make any necessary
refinements to the plans prior to the public meeting based on City
comments.
b. One public meeting with the Parks Commission to review and comment on
the schematic concept plans.
5. Master Plan Update: Based on feedback from the public meeting, WSB will prepare
a preferred master plan update for the splash pad using the adopted concept plan, or
combination of plans, that represents the design solution that best responds to the
needs and desires of the City. A preliminary estimate of probable cost for
construction shall be prepared for the master plan.
