Official Format for Subcommittee Proposals

Subcommittee Name

CL Golf Course Reutilization Proposal

The following describes the preferred content of the subcommittee proposals for the reutilization of the Clear Lake Golf Course consistent with the primary use of the land for rainwater detention. Although strict adherence to this outline is not required, the content should be addressed in the proposal. If the format can be followed it will ease the considerations of the CLCWA Board in developing the Master Plan.

Executive Summary
Section should contain a short statement (1-2 paragraphs) that gives a summary of the proposal.

Overview
A slightly more detailed description of the proposal, highlighting alternates considered, expected utilization, community benefits, and overall space impact of the proposed amenities. If other considerations like parking, access, location, funding, etc., are significant these should be presented. This section should contain a maximum of 8-10 short paragraphs. Use this section to “sell” your concepts.

Concepts and Alternates
Detail proposal concepts and potential alternates in this section. The proposals should include size and location of the concepts and alternates. Other considerations like parking, public access, handicap access and location should be addressed as applicable. If size or location considerations are significant to funding, these issues should be emphasized in this section as well as appearing later in the applicable sections. Similarly, if there is other “miscellaneous” information that should be included in the considerations (e.g., potential tie-ins to other trails for the hike and bike trail), please include these comments. Sketches and drawings may be referenced or incorporated in the section as applicable.

Expected Community Utilization and Benefits
Outline best estimates for community utilization of the space(s) and potential auxiliary benefits to the community. This section may be used to help justify the subcommittee preferences regarding the alternates presented. This section could be very significant in weighing potential alternate uses of space between the various subcommittee proposals so please use care in preparing your estimates.

Costs, Feasibility, and Construction Considerations
If cost estimates or feasibility studies have been developed for the various alternates, include these here; these studies are not necessarily expected as part of the proposal, but please include them if they are available. Similarly if there are construction considerations they should be included as applicable. Such considerations might include that construction of the amenities should progress in a specific sequence to help control costs. If the proposal could be constructed in phases, please include that information as well as preferences for which sections should be developed first.

Construction Funding
If the subcommittee has defined potential funding mechanisms, please include that information. It is not necessarily expected that the subcommittee would have developed such information, but include this information if it is available.

Operation and Maintenance Costs
If operation and maintenance costs have been defined, include the estimates here. Likewise, if support staff are required, include estimates of the headcounts involved. If the subcommittee has identified a preference for the long term operator (e.g., City or County Park Departments) include these considerations. If it is expected that maintenance will be done by volunteer organizations using the facilities, please identify the volunteer organization(s).

Other Considerations
If there are other issues not included in the areas above, include in this section. Such considerations might include security requirements, associated facility improvements (e.g., potable water requirements), potential health concerns or other liability issues.
