transfer locations within the city to better service the needs of our citizens.
This study includes a quantifiable analysis of need and benefit. It includes the development of the
scope, analysis of the current situation, definition of the requirements for success, discussion of the
recommended solution, and evaluation of the recommended approach. The study will also develop
planning -level cost estimates and identify sources of funding for the project.
The table of contents for the study should include:
§ Executive Summary —
Introduction and Project Background — the purpose of the feasibility study and its objectives; the
main activities undertaken in preparing the feasibility assessment (i.e. desk research, interviews,
focus groups, site appraisal, etc.); and a description of the community context.

analysis. This section of the document will provide the problem statement; the organizational,
