3. Tasks prepared as part of this planning effort may occur concurrently where appropriate, or in some
cases may deviate from the sequence shown in the scope of work.

understood to be at a pre -concept development stage and will require further refinement as more
detailed site conditions, surveying and design occur.
5. Cost projections prepared as part of this effort, if applicable, are understood to be at a planning (order -
of -magnitude) level and are prepared prior to any detailed design for individual projects. Such cost
projections will vary as more detailed design occurs and as inflationary influences occur following
Master Plan adoption.

the City of Lubbock, Texas. The scope of work includes six (06) visits to the City of Lubbock at key intervals

6.3 MASTER PLAN FOR THE CANYON LAKES SYSTEM
The Canyon Lakes area in northeast Lubbock consists of a series of linear lakes surrounded by aging
industrial sites. 55 percent of Lubbock's park acreage is within this unique landscape, which includes
prominent recreational areas such as the Buddy Holly Recreation Area, the Dunbar Historical Lake
Park, and Mackenzie Park. To summarize what was stated in the PlanLubbock 2040 Comprehensive
Plan, the Canyon Lakes represent one of the most interesting and beautiful areas in Lubbock, and
possesses one of the City's best opportunities for recreation and tourism. From aquatic activities
such as fishing, canoeing, kayaking, and paddle boarding, to mountain biking and trail running, a
variety of outdoor adventure sports could be programmed in this area; which, in turn, could stimulate
significant reinvestment and redevelopment of adjacent properties. The development of Lubbock's
Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Master Plan represents a significant opportunity to consider how
the Canyon Lakes System could be programmed as a significant natural resource within the City of
Lubbock and region. A stand-alone, visionary master plan for this system is warranted to galvanize
public opinion regarding a vision for this landscape and the amenities therein. The Master Plan could
also provide the foundation for a new floodway study, which is also needed. The resulting document
could then be submitted to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) for implementation
funding.

ADDITIONAL SERVICES
Halff also offers several potential additional services which may be considered for the parks master plan
process. During the course or at the conclusion of the project, the City may deem it necessary to request
further research or otherwise engage Halff in additional work efforts or subsequent phases not anticipated
at project initiation or as set out in the Scope of Services. Any such additional services shall be specifically
authorized by the City Council, as appropriate, and documented through a written amendment to existing
Scope of Services or set out as follow up additional phase services.
A1.0 VIRTUAL PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT ROOM AND ONLINE INTERACTIVE MAPPING
In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, there may be state or local restrictions preventing large in -person
meetings. If during this process an in -person public meeting cannot occur, we have the capabilities
to create an online virtual room that mimics the activities that typically occur during an open house
meeting, including introductory presentations, visual preference, brief surveys, and mapping input.
We can work with you to tailor a solution unique to Lubbock to gain public input in a fully virtual
manner. An advantage of a Virtual Public Engagement Room is that it can remain up and running for
several days, thus providing greater flexibility from a standard virtual public open house meeting.
Halff has the capabilities to develop an online mapping tool to seek additional public input. The
ArcGIS-based platform allows users to add points and lines with associated comments to an
interactive map to indicate where needed improvements or additional facilities are needed. The
output is location -specific feedback in GIS format that Halff uses to further analyze or confirm potential
park, recreation, and trail opportunities.

City of Lubbock, Texas
Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Master Plan
The City of Lubbock (hereafter "City") will provide administrative and technical support services to assist
Halff Associates (hereafter "Halff") in performing the Scope of Services described in Exhibit A. The support
services to be provided by the City will include the following types of services and tasks:
• Identify a single individual as the City's Project Director, who will serve as a primary point of contact
and source of day-to-day work program direction for this collaborative planning effort involving both
City and Halff personnel, resources and capabilities.
• Provide all available data, maps, aerial imagery, previous reports/plans/studies, ordinances and
resolutions, and other information that is available and applicable to Halff in digital or printed format
and is pertinent and necessary for development of interim and final deliverables.
• Assist Halff in establishing contacts with agencies and organizations for data collection and
coordination purposes.
• Ensure that key City personnel and constituents, will participate as needed in the planning process
and be available upon request, through arrangements made by the City's Project Director, to
provide information and referrals and offer opinions, insights and suggestions that are necessary
for completion of the project.
• Upon project initiation the City's Project Director will coordinate with Halff to transfer spatial data
and mapping that the City can make available for the project, including data sets and GIS coverages
(and AutoCAD layers, as useful and appropriate) already developed/maintained by the City and
others for its entire planning area or readily available to the City from other sources. The City will
be responsible for ensuring that GIS data obtained for this project is compatible, including
projections and other formatting elements.
• Reproduce and forward each draft project deliverable submitted by Halff (via email) to City staff
members, and other project participants as appropriate.
• Conduct public information activities in conjunction with major public meetings/events and other
project milestones, including City releases and any other public information materials, promotion
and advertising for all public events and citizen surveys, and posting of meeting notices and project
information and updates on the City's website and other social media platforms.
• Use the City's websites and social media sites (e.g., Facebook) to disseminate information and
inform, update and educate the public about the ongoing project. As necessary, Halff will provide
already -completed interim documents or GIS maps in an Adobe PDF format, which can be easily
posted on the City's website.
• Arrange and provide use of public meeting facilities for scheduled public involvement events and
meetings identified in Exhibit A, Scope of Services, including adequate setup for presentations
(LCD projector, sound system, screen or white wall, reduced lighting, extension cords and multi -
plug power strips, easels, flip pads and markers, etc.). The City's support services will include
providing public and news media notification of public meetings, preparing sign -in sheets,
producing/mailing/distributing notices, and reproducing agendas and other handout materials.
Halff will be responsible for presentations and preparation of necessary graphic aids for all
meetings. The City will also be responsible for inviting members of the City Council, Planning and
Zoning Commission, and representatives of other key commissions and agencies, and community
organizations, to attend public meetings related to the planning process.
• Commit the necessary resources to prepare adequately for the promotion of citizen participation
in, and media coverage of, key community involvement events. The City might consider inviting
other community organizations to co-sponsor or "co -host" such key events and provide further
logistical support.
