"This Scope is not intended to represent a linear planning process.

In recent GC&A projects, including HOPE VI Neighborhood Plans for Riverview in Cleveland, Old Dayton View in Dayton Ohio, and Allequippa Terrace in � Pittsburgh, we have purposely worked closely with clients to refine and redirect the scope as ' work proceeded to capture the full potential of the project. At the conclusion of this Scope of Work,we have listed our assumptions about client responsibilities for this project. As with all our work,we view this proposal as a starting point for dialogue with the client and welcome discussion regarding changes and clarifications. PHASE 1: Existing Conditions Analysis (Weeks 1-5) This phase will establish a firm under�tanding of the planning context from physical, economic, social,political and other key perspectives and lead to the identification of planning and design principles appropriate to guide the creation of a vision and plan. We will work with the City and DHA to identify key stakeholders, include representatives of community gtoups,public agencies, institutions,the private sector and others. This phase will also establish the feasibility and subsequent scope of work necessary to meet II3DA's earliest tax credit deadline.
