AND
LOGAN SIMPSON DESIGN INC.
THIS COOPERATIVE PURCHASING AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) between the CITY OF
TOLLESON, an Arizona municipal corporation, (the “City”), and LOGAN SIMPSON DESIGN INC., an

shall be effective on the last signature date set forth below.
RECITALS
A.
After a competitive procurement process, the City of Chandler, an Arizona
municipal corporation and Contractor entered into Contract No. DS5-918-4808, (collectively, the
“Cooperative Contract”), for general plan update and comprehensive housing plan (“Services”).
A copy of the Cooperative Contract is on file with the City Clerk’s office and is incorporated herein
by reference.
B.
The City is permitted, pursuant to Section 3-5-7 of the City Code, to make
purchases under the Cooperative Contract, at its discretion and with the agreement of the
awarded Contractor, and the Cooperative Contract permits its cooperative use by other public
entities, including the City.
C.
The City and the Contractor desire to enter into this Agreement for the purpose
of (i) acknowledging their cooperative contractual relationship under the Cooperative Contract
and this Agreement, (ii) establishing the terms and conditions by which the Contractor may
provide the City with the required Products, and (iii) setting the maximum aggregate amount to
be expended pursuant to this Agreement related to the Services.
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing introduction and recitals, which are
incorporated herein by reference, the following mutual covenants and conditions, and other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged,
the City and the Contractor hereby agree as follows:
1.
Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall be effective on the last signature date
set forth below and shall remain in full force and effect until June 30, 2026 (the “Term”) unless
terminated as otherwise provided in this Agreement or the Cooperative Contract.
2.
Scope of Work. Contractor shall provide to the City the Services under the terms
and conditions of the Cooperative Contract and in the configuration set forth in the Proposal
attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by reference.

2.1
Inspection; Acceptance. All Services are subject to final inspection and
acceptance by the City. Services failing to conform to the requirements of this Agreement and/or
the Cooperative Contract will be held at Contractor’s risk and may be returned to the Contractor.
If so returned, all costs are the responsibility of the Contractor. Upon discovery of non-
conforming Services, the City may elect to do any or all of the following by written notice to the
Contractor: (i) waive the non-conformance; (ii) stop the work immediately; or (iii) bring the
Services into compliance and withhold the cost of same from any payments due to the
Contractor.
2.2
Cancellation. The City reserves the right to cancel Purchase Orders within
a reasonable period of time after issuance. Should a Purchase Order be canceled, the City agrees

3.
Compensation. The City’s payments to the Contractor (if any) shall not exceed an
aggregate amount of $250,000.00 for each fiscal year, July 1st through June 30th, for the Services
at payment rates that shall be agreed upon by the parties. If an entire fiscal year does not fall
within the Term of this Agreement, the aggregate compensation limit for that partial year shall
be reduced to an amount equal to the compensation limit multiplied by a factor having as its
numerator the number of days in the partial fiscal year and as its denominator the number three
hundred sixty-five (365).
4.
Payments. The City shall pay the Contractor based upon acceptance and delivery
of Services performed and completed to date, and upon submission and approval of invoices.
Each invoice shall (i) contain a reference to this Agreement and the Cooperative Contract and (ii)
document and itemize all work completed to date. The invoice statement shall include a record
of materials delivered, time expended, and work performed in sufficient detail to justify payment.
Additionally, invoices submitted without referencing this Agreement and the Cooperative
Contract will be subject to rejection and may be returned.
5.
Records and Audit Rights. To ensure that the Contractor and its subcontractors
are complying with the E-verify warranty, Contractor’s and its subcontractors’ books, records,
correspondence, accounting procedures and practices, and other supporting evidence relating
to this Agreement, including the papers of any Contractor and its subcontractors’ employees who
perform any work or services pursuant to this Agreement (all of the foregoing hereinafter
referred to as “Records”), shall be open to inspection and subject to audit and/or reproduction
during normal working hours by the City, to the extent necessary to adequately permit (A)
evaluation and verification of any invoices, payments or claims based on Contractor’s and its
subcontractors’ actual costs (including direct and indirect costs and overhead allocations)
incurred, or units expended directly in the performance of work under this Agreement and (B)
evaluation of the Contractor’s and its subcontractors’ compliance with the Arizona employer
3
sanctions laws referenced in the E-verify section. To the extent it is necessary for the City to audit
Records as set forth in this subsection, Contractor and its subcontractors hereby waive any rights
to keep such Records confidential. For the purpose of evaluating or verifying such actual or
claimed costs or units expended, the City shall have access to said Records, even if located at its
subcontractors’ facilities, from the effective date of this Agreement for the duration of the work
and until three years after the date of final payment by the City to Contractor pursuant to this
Agreement. Contractor and its subcontractors shall provide the City with adequate and
appropriate workspace so that the City can conduct audits in compliance with the provisions of
this section. The City shall give Contractor or its subcontractors reasonable advance notice of
intended audits. Contractor shall require its subcontractors to comply with the provisions of this
subsection by insertion of the requirements hereof in any subcontract pursuant to this
Agreement.
6.
E-verify Requirements. To the extent applicable under A.R.S. § 41-4401, the
Contractor and its subcontractors warrant compliance with all federal immigration laws and
regulations that relate to their employees and their compliance with the E-verify requirements
under A.R.S. § 23-214(A). Contractor’s or its subcontractors’ failure to comply with such warranty
shall be deemed a material breach of this Agreement and may result in the termination of this
Agreement by the City.
7.
Conflict of Interest. This Agreement is subject to the provisions of A.R.S. § 38-511.
The City may cancel the Contract without penalty or further obligations by the City or any of its
departments or agencies if any person significantly involved in initiating, negotiating, securing,
drafting or creating a Contract on behalf of the City or any of its departments or agencies is, at
any time while the Contract or any extension of the Contract is in effect, an employee of any
other party to the Contract in any capacity or a consultant to any other party of the Contract with
respect to the subject matter of the Contract.
8.
Applicable Law; Venue. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State
of Arizona and a suit pertaining to this Agreement may be brought only in courts in Maricopa
County, Arizona.
9.
Agreement Subject to Appropriation. The City is obligated only to pay its
obligations set forth in this Agreement as may lawfully be made from funds appropriated and
budgeted for that purpose during the City’s then current fiscal year. The City’s obligations under
this Agreement are current expenses subject to the “budget law” and the unfettered legislative
discretion of the City concerning budgeted purposes and appropriation of funds. Should the City
elect not to appropriate and budget funds to pay its Agreement obligations, this Agreement shall
be deemed terminated at the end of the then-current fiscal year term for which such funds were
appropriated and budgeted for such purpose and the City shall be relieved of any subsequent
obligation under this Agreement. The parties agree that the City has no obligation or duty of good
faith to budget or appropriate the payment of the City’s obligations set forth in this Agreement
in any budget in any fiscal year other than the fiscal year in which this Agreement is executed and
delivered. The City shall be the sole judge and authority in determining the availability of funds
4
for its obligations under this Agreement. The City shall keep Contractor informed as to the
availability of funds for this Agreement. The obligation of the City to make any payment pursuant
to this Agreement is not a general obligation or indebtedness of the City. Contractor hereby
waives any and all rights to bring any claim against the City from or relating in any way to the
City’s termination of this Agreement pursuant to this section.
10.
Conflicting Terms. In the event of any inconsistency, conflict, or ambiguity among
the terms of this Agreement, any City-approved Purchase Orders, the Cooperative Contract, and
invoices, the documents shall govern in the order listed herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
and in conformity with Section 2 above, unauthorized exceptions, conditions, limitations, or
provisions in conflict with the terms of this Agreement or the Cooperative Contract (collectively,
the “Unauthorized Conditions”), other than the City’s project-specific requirements, are
expressly declared void and shall be of no force and effect. Acceptance by the City of any
Purchase Order or invoice containing any such Unauthorized Conditions or failure to demand full
compliance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement or under the Cooperative
Contract shall not alter such terms and conditions or relieve Contractor from, nor be construed
or deemed a waiver of, its requirements and obligations in the performance of this Agreement.
11.
Rights and Privileges. To the extent provided under the Cooperative Contract, the
City shall be afforded all of the rights and privileges afforded to the City of Chandler and shall be
“City” (as defined in the Cooperative Contract) for the purposes of the portions of the
Cooperative Contract that are incorporated herein by reference.
12.
Indemnification; Insurance. In addition to and in no way limiting the provisions set
forth in Section 11 above, the City shall be afforded all of the insurance coverage and
indemnifications afforded to the Lead Public Agency to the extent provided under the
Cooperative Contract, and such insurance coverage and indemnifications shall inure and apply
with equal effect to the City under this Agreement including, but not limited to, the Contractor’s
obligation to provide the indemnification and insurance. In any event, the Contractor shall
indemnify, defend and hold harmless the City and each council member, officer, employee or
agent thereof (the City and any such person being herein called an “Indemnified Party”), for, from
and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, but not
limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs and the costs of appellate proceedings) to
which any such Indemnified Party may become subject, under any theory of liability whatsoever
(“Claims”), insofar as such Claims (or actions in respect thereof) relate to, arise out of, or are
caused by or based upon the negligent acts, intentional misconduct, errors, mistakes or
omissions, in connection with the work or services of the Contractor, its officers, employees,
agents, or any tier of subcontractor in the performance of this Agreement.
13.
Israel. To the extent applicable, Contractor certifies that it is not currently engaged
in and agrees for the duration of this Agreement that it will not engage in a “boycott” of goods
and services from Israel, as that term is defined in A.R.S. § 35-393.
14.
China. Pursuant to and in compliance with A.R.S. § 35-394, Contractor hereby
agrees and certifies that it does not currently, and agrees for the duration of this Agreement that
5
Contractor will not, use: (i) the forced labor of ethnic Uyghurs in the People’s Republic of China;
(ii) any goods or services produced by the forced labor of ethnic Uyghurs in the People’s Republic
of China; or (iii) any contractors, subcontractors or suppliers that use the forced labor or any
goods or services produced by the forced labor of ethnic Uyghurs in the People’s Republic of
China. Contractor also hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the City, its officials,
employees, and agents from any claims or causes of action relating to the City’s action based
upon reliance upon this representation, including the payment of all costs and attorney fees
incurred by the City in defending such as action.

City of Tolleson
Attn: Chris Hamilton, P.E., City Engineer
Submitted via Email: chris.hamilton@tolleson.az.gov
RE: City of Tolleson General Plan Update
Dear Mr. Hamilton,
We are so appreciative that you reached out to us and we are pleased to submit our scope and fee proposal to partner
with the City of Tolleson on your General Plan Update (GPU). Tolleson’s unique role as a compact community and regional
employment hub calls for a plan that is focused, practical, and deeply rooted in local character and heritage and our team
is specifically built to deliver that type of plan.
Since 1990, Logan Simpson has helped communities across the Mountain West craft general, comprehensive, and subarea
plans that are grounded in local values and are also realistic to implement. Logan Simpson’s experiential-based design
and planning philosophy is founded on our company’s mission—Working Together to Guide Responsible Change. Logan
Simpson’s six offices, headquartered at 222 S. Mill Avenue, Suite 222 in Tempe, Arizona, bring together more than 185 staff
members across four service lines: Community Planning, Landscape Architecture, Environmental Services, and Cultural
Resources. Through more than three decades of work, our multidisciplinary team has built a reputation for combining
clear, visually engaging plans with collaborative, community-driven processes that work for both small cities and large
metros.
In addition to Logan Simpson’s expertise, we have brought together two of our renowned teaming partners, each
contributing unique skills and specialized knowledge to this effort and who were also part of the team that created
your current general plan. Kimley-Horn offers a wealth of local, state, and national experience in transportation, water
resources, and infrastructure planning and engineering. Elliott D. Pollack & Company, Arizona’s premier real estate and
economic consulting firm, brings their expertise in economic growth, market analysis, and housing. Logan Simpson has
worked seamlessly and successfully with our teaming partners in the past and is excited to offer you our best compilation
of experts. Our in house Logan Simpson team also includes Megan Moore, a land use planner with decades of experience
across the Mountain West; Rodney Rivera-Rolon, our Spanish translator, and Laney Corey who will be our Assistant Project
Manager and also led the City of Tolleson’s last housing study with another firm.
We are a strong fit for Tolleson because we understand the dynamics of small cities that generate outsized economic
activity and must carefully balance industrial and commercial growth with strong neighborhoods, services, and quality
of life. Rather than repurposing a “big city” template, we will craft a GPU scaled to Tolleson that is clear, concise, and
directly tied to the decisions your staff, boards, and elected officials make every day. Our team also brings extensive
Arizona general plan experience and an unmatched record of award-winning work, resulting in plans that are visionary
and implementable. We know how to align the GPU with Arizona statutes, build a plan that is graphically rich and easy to
navigate, and connect long-term goals with day-to-day decision-making tools for staff and leadership.
Community engagement is at the heart of our approach, and we are especially well-suited to Tolleson’s community.
We design public involvement plans that go beyond minimum requirements by combining bilingual materials,
Spanish-speaking facilitators, and dynamic participation tracking tools. Our outreach intentionally reaches youth, seniors,
shift workers, non-English-speaking residents, and builds local champions through community advisory committees,
listening sessions, and a community catalyst program.
We are also structured to reliably and flexibly deliver within a 13-month schedule. Our team will run engagement and plan
development in parallel, starting with a clear kickoff, existing conditions work, and an adopted Public Involvement Plan,
then moving into iterative drafts, the statutory 60-day review period, and final legislative hearings. Monthly in-person
2
LOGAN SIMPSON SUBMITTAL
coordination meetings and concise written progress updates will keep your team informed and confident, while proven
tools for interactive document review and comment tracking will ensure a smooth path to City Council adoption by
resolution.
Our planning philosophy is simple: build trust through transparency, create plans that can be implemented, and elevate
local voices throughout the process. We are excited about the opportunity to co-create an award-winning, statutorily-
compliant, and practical general plan with Tolleson that reflects your community’s identity, supports continued economic
success, and provides a clear roadmap for the next decade and beyond.
Thank you for considering our proposal. We look forward to the opportunity to collaborate with you on this important
effort.

CITY OF TOLLESON GENERAL PLAN UPDATE
3
TOLLESON GENERAL PLAN UPDATE SCOPE OF SERVICES
The Tolleson General Plan Update (GPU) will be completed in 13 months as outlined in the following four phases below.
The GPU is projected to be approved by City Council in March 2027 with the Final General Plan and all native files provided
to City staff at the end of March 2027. The Tolleson GPU does not require voter ratification and will be effective upon City
Council’s approval by resolution.
PHASE 1 - PROJECT MANAGEMENT
This phase will span the entire process, beginning with preliminary administrative tasks and adoption of the statutorily
required Public Involvement Plan (PIP). Monthly in-person coordination meetings will be held as needed throughout the
duration of the project, and written progress reports will accompany monthly invoices.
1.1. Facilitate Preliminary Administrative Tasks
Preliminary administrative tasks include collecting and reviewing existing plans and data for a baseline platform,
conducting a kickoff meeting with City staff to refine the process to set the project for success, and preparing an Existing
Conditions Report as a springboard to the GPU.
1.1.A. Review General Plan and Background Materials
During this early timeframe, our team will hold collaborative discussions with City staff to identify the current plan’s
strengths and weaknesses and assess what aspects of its administration are working effectively, and which are not.
Other important City policy documents will be reviewed at this time, along with necessary GIS data and other technical
information. This task will coincide well into Task 3.1.a. where City staff and our team will audit the existing plan’s goals
and policies.
1.1.b. Hold City Staff Kickoff Meeting
The primary purpose of this meeting will be to introduce our team, including topical leads including our teaming
partners, review City staff communication protocols, review/refine the project schedules, and obtain advice and ideas
about the GPU. Our team will discuss initial goals and opportunities, data needs and acquisition, website development,
and key inclusions in the Public Involvement Plan, including the makeup and frequency of meetings with the advisory
committees and other community outreach meetings.
1.1.c. Draft Existing Conditions Report / Plan Outline
Our team will create a GIS base map illustrating the City’s planning area, incorporated area, and any changes to the
future planning area. The resulting base map will be utilized in the project to uniformly illustrate information related
to existing conditions, future land uses, transportation, growth areas, public facilities, and other areas of focus. Our
team will provide an Existing Conditions Report with a draft outline of the GPU. The report will provide an overview of
existing conditions related to all topic areas of the GPU as well as identification of key takeaways. The plan outline will
be designed to address the required statutory elements with emphasis on those topics that are of most importance to
the City.
1.2. Draft the Public Involvement Plan (PIP)
This task will establish the project’s community engagement approach and scope through a standalone written Public
Involvement Plan (PIP). Based on City staff collaboration and feedback, our team will prepare an inclusive outreach
program. A standalone PIP adopted by City Council will be drafted to meet state statutes and serve as an updateable living
document throughout the process. Our engagement approach, which we call Co-creation, is designed to keep community
members informed throughout the planning process, gather feedback at critical points, and create local champions
or ambassadors. A participation tracking system is utilized to help us hear from a broad representative demographic,
including residents, business owners, employees, elected and appointed officials, visitors to the area, community groups
and non-profits, and other invested partners. The PIP will include strategies and techniques to engage under-represented
communities, such as youth, minority, low-income, and non-English speaking groups. The PIP will be structured to meet
the requirements of Arizona Revised Statutes for early and continuous public participation in the general plan process.
The following list highlights several important components of the PIP.
• Branding Suite. Our team will collaborate with the City staff to create a unifying brand for the GPU. The intent is
to build a unique and recognizable look with consistent messaging for the planning process and documents and
meeting the City’s branding standards. This branding suite will include templates for documents, maps, and printed
4
LOGAN SIMPSON SUBMITTAL
materials as well as wearable items and swag that the City can purchase to match the established and approved
brand created.
• In-Person Engagement. The PIP will outline a suggested series of in-person engagement events such as drop-in
events, public workshops, and educational public meetings with City boards.
• Online Engagement. The PIP will articulate online activities such as a project website, questionnaires, visual
preference activities, and interactive community mapping to engage those unable to attend the meetings.
• Outreach Material. All engagement opportunities will be marketed through material that our team creates, and the
City staff distributes to social media outlets, newsletter publications, and other venues.
• Participation Tracking Suite. Our team will develop a participation tracking tool that can quantify engagement
based on key demographic and geographic factors. We will use this system to track participation from in-
person events and online engagement to identify where we may need to pivot our approach to better engage
underrepresented community members.
• Bi-lingual Events and Materials. To make engagement more inclusive, our team can host and facilitate events in
Spanish and/or with Spanish interpretation available. All engagement notification materials will also be translated
our team and distributed in both English and Spanish.
• Underrepresented Groups. Our team regularly works with government and public policy classes, older adults and
seniors, student governments, and children in after school programs, and recreation programs, and summer camps
to reach voices typically left behind in planning processes due to scheduling conflicts, mobility challenges, or a lack
of childcare. To reduce these barriers, youth of all ages are welcome at our events, where we offer age-appropriate
activities and exercises. When appropriate, our team can also work with local organizations to provide free
childcare for participants and family-friendly spaces at community events. To support meaningful participation
from seniors, we prioritize hosting events at accessible venues near transit or senior centers, offer materials in
large-print formats, and use plain, easy-to-understand language in presentations and surveys.
• Community Catalyst Program. Key to engaging under-represented groups is identifying community champions
or ambassadors who serve as trusted liaisons who can help connect the planning team with their networks.
Throughout the process, our team will seek these co-creators and promote a Community Catalyst Program on the
project website to support ongoing collaboration and outreach.
1.3. Launch Multi-lingual Project Website
Using the PublicInput platform, our team can create, host, and regularly update a dedicated, branded website where
interested parties can obtain information, download documents, see future meeting dates and schedules, and sign up
to get project updates. Additional information can be added to the website on a rolling basis throughout the project,
such as draft documents as they are completed, embedded questionnaires, interactive mapping and document reviews,
information about upcoming meetings, and meeting summaries. Content on the website can be viewed in a multitude of
languages at the click of a button.
1.4. Hold Monthly Coordination Meetings and Prepare Progress Reports
For effective and regular communication, our team will set up recurring monthly coordination meetings with City staff.
These meetings can be moved as needed and will provide a setting to gain feedback on the previous month’s work and
any in progress deliverables as well as discuss upcoming events. Communication via email, phone, and text will also occur
with the City’s Project Manager throughout the month. Our team will also provide monthly status updates in the form of
written progress reports to articulate the percentage complete for each phase and task within the scope of services.
Phase 1 Deliverables and Meetings
• City Staff Kickoff Meeting (in person)
• Public Involvement Plan (PIP) (electronic)
• Existing Conditions Report (electronic)
• Multi-lingual Project Website (electronic)
• Monthly Coordination Meetings (virtual up to 11)
• Monthly Progress Reports (electronic up to 11)

PHASE 2 – PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT
This phase will cover half the planning process and overlap with Phase 3 General Plan Development so that community
input and GPU are in concert and iterative and inclusive with many meaningful touchpoints for the community and
important stakeholders.
2.1. Present at City Council Kickoff Meeting
Early City Council involvement and direction is critical for the success of the GPU. Our team will assist City staff in
presenting in person at an initial kickoff meeting with City Council early in the project. At this meeting, we will review the
project schedule and strategy for community engagement and ask for input and adoption of the PIP.
2.2. Present at Planning and Zoning (P&Z) Commission Kickoff Meeting
It is also important to involve the Planning and Zoning (P&Z) Commission as a planning and development advisory body
early in the process. Our team will present in person at a P&Z Commission kickoff. This publicly noticed kickoff meeting
will be designed to provide this body with education on the process as well as an opportunity to give input into the PIP
adopted by City Council. Additionally, the timing of this meeting will coincide well with provision of an Existing Conditions
Report and may include inclusion of an interactive live Menti Poll. This poll will be designed to derive input on the City’s
strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) and will help drive the Community’s Vision Statement or
Thematic Aspirations.
2.3. Hold a Community Advisory Committee (CAC) Meetings
With City staff’s direction, a CAC can be established. After the initial kickoff meetings, our team will host an in-person CAC
kickoff meeting to educate members on the overall process and purpose of the general plan update. A similar live poll
described in Task 2.2 can be utilized at this kickoff meeting. Two additional meetings will be held with the CAC during the
process.
2.4. Hold Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) Meetings
Equally important in the development of a City’s general plan is to involve the City’s own functional experts. Therefore,
early in the process an in-person kick-off meeting will be held with selected representatives of City departments to
educate them on the process and garner input and direction. A similar live poll described in Task 2.2 can be utilized at this
kickoff meeting and it is anticipated that this body will also be significantly involved in the plan audit described in Task
3.1a. Two additional meetings will be held with the TAC during the process.
2.5. Prepare Outreach Materials
Using the branding suite developed as part of the PIP, our team will create content to increase project awareness and
encourage engagement. This may include postcards, flyers, newsletters, videos, radio, press releases, etc., to inform
people about upcoming in-person and online public involvement opportunities throughout the process.
2.5.a. Prepare Bilingual Community Questionnaire
An initial online questionnaire will be launched to gain feedback and perspectives from the community at large on
perceived strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) associated with City growth and development.
This questionnaire will be bilingual and promoted via social media as well as at the City Council and P&Z Commission
kickoff meetings.
2.5.b. Prepare Bilingual Informational Brochure
Our team will prepare a full color, informational brochure with frequently asked questions (FAQs) about the GPU and
post it to the project website in English and Spanish. The City staff can distribute this brochure on social media, City
elists, and have hard copy available at public meetings and at strategic locations throughout the City.
2.6. Facilitate Public Meetings
Several types of public meetings will be held including in person drop in events, in person and virtual public workshops,
and community listening sessions which can be held in person or virtually.
2.6.a. Hold Drop in Events
Our team will host informational booths at up to three in person drop in events, such as but not limited to City and
school events at local destinations to community members in a casual and comfortable environment. Drop in event
are key to the public’s awareness and education of the GPU process. During these events, our team will promote the
6
LOGAN SIMPSON SUBMITTAL
community questionnaire or appliable upcoming events. For each drop-in event, our team will provide at least one staff
member and will coordinate with the City to have a member of City staff at the event.
2.6.b. Conduct Public Workshops
Two in person workshops are anticipated to take place on two different days and times. The first workshop will focus
on visioning and refining areas of change within the City. The second workshop will reconfirm feedback and focus on
choices and priorities for land use scenarios as well as goals and policies. After each in person workshop series, a virtual
workshop with identical content will be available on the project website. These workshops will be interactive with live
polling, visual preference activities, digital mapping, and other interactive exercises. Each workshop will be designed
with an orientation and overview presentation, along with interactive boards and/or small group exercises. To support
inclusive participation, our team will provide a staff member fluent in Spanish to attend these workshops and directly
engage Spanish-speaking community members, answer questions, and facilitate activities in Spanish.
2.6.c. Conduct Listening Sessions
Up to 16 listening sessions (one on one or group interviews) will be scheduled to discuss issues most important to the
community, opportunities, and ideas to integrate into the GPU, and desired plan outcomes. Our team will work with the
City staff to establish a list of people and entities to invite to these sessions, which can be virtual or as needed.
2.7. Provide a Public Participation Summary
This document provided at the end of this phase will be a visually appealing, graphically rich, public-facing summary of all
community engagement activities. We anticipate posting it on the project website and utilizing it as a chapter to the GPU.
Phase 2 Deliverables and Meetings
• City Council Kickoff Meeting (in person)
• Planning and Zoning (P&Z) Commission Kickoff Meeting (in person)
• Bilingual Community Questionnaire (electronic)

PHASE 3 - GENERAL PLAN DEVELOPMENT
Development of the GPU will run concurrently with the Public Engagement phase. This phase consists of a plan audit
and crosswalk zoning analysis, providing working drafts, a first draft, and the statutorily required 60-day draft and
distribution list.
3.1. Facilitate Plan Production
As the GPU is drafted, concurrent public and City staff input received can be reflected in the text and revised or confirmed
essentially in real time or in short order.
3.1.a. Conduct Plan Audit and Crosswalk Analysis
An electronic plan audit will be conducted of the City’s existing general plan to identify which goals and strategies
(policies) should be carried forward in the GPU. The plan audit will be designed for input from City staff and the TAC.
As part of the audit exercise, our team will also identify redundancies and best practices for consideration and will
ask reviewers to consider incorporation of implementation actions into the GPU. This task will also include a separate
crosswalk analysis of the current plans’ future land use categories and the City’s current zoning districts to understand
which zoning districts fit into the future land use categories. The zoning ordinance will also be preliminarily evaluated
for consistency with anticipated changes. Changes to any codes or regulations are not planned as part of this scope but
could be highlighted as future implementation action items.

3.1.b. Produce Working Draft Chapters
The GPU will include elements required by Arizona Revised Statutes as well as the existing plan elements in the current
general plan, but their organization will be determined by the plan outline approved by City staff and themes that
arise during the public process. Generally speaking, the GPU will include an overview chapter, a chapter on community
engagement, several element chapters with goals and policies, a chapter on implementation with either generalized
or specific implementation actions, and several appendices. The GPU will be visually appealing and graphically rich.
Regardless of structure, our team will stagger delivery of working draft chapters to City staff and TAC members for
review and comment prior to compilation into a first full draft. It can be expected that these early working drafts will be
loosely formatted and contain questions for both City staff and TAC members.
3.1.c. Produce First Draft General Plan
After our team receives comments back on working drafts, we will prepare an edited, one voice, and formatted first
draft for a review by City staff, the TAC, and CAC prior to the 60-day Draft General Plan. This draft is typically provided
in a Word format but in the Konveio platform for ease of review and complication of comments.
3.1.d. Produce 60-Day Draft General Plan
The 60-Day Draft is a statutory requirement with a mandated distribution list. It is during this time that plan drafting
ceases, and the public at large has a chance to review the plan. Our team will create the 60-Day Draft which can remain
in Word or be elevated into InDesign and the 60-day distribution list to include mandatory statutory reviewers and
all community members engaged through the process. The 60 day draft will be posted on the project website in the
Konveio platform, and the City staff will distribute notice of the 60-Day draft from a City email.
Phase 3 Deliverables and Meetings
• Plan Audit and Crosswalk Analysis (electronic)
• Working Drafts by Chapter (electronic)
• First Draft General Plan (electronic)
• 60-day Draft General Plan (electronic)
PHASE 4 - GENERAL PLAN PRESENTATION
This phase consists of preparing the final hearing draft and an executive summary as well as presentation of the GPU
through the legislative process and provision of final documents.
4.1. Prepare Final Hearing Draft
After the 60-day public review period, our team will prepare the Hearing Draft. Our team will also provide a 60-Day
comment spreadsheet identifying submitted comments and how each was addressed for City staff concurrence.
4.2. Prepare Executive Summary
Our team will prepare a separate executive summary of the GPU in a professional and visually appealing pamphlet format
that includes the communities vision statement or aspirations, key goals, and the future land use map.
4.3. Present Final General Plan
Statutorily, the City must have one P&Z Commission Hearing for recommendation and one City Council Hearing for
approval and adoption. Our team will be available to attend all hearings and will assist in presenting the final general
plan with the City staff.
4.4. Provide Final Transmittal
After City Council approval by resolution, our team will provide a Final General Plan and all native files utilized in the
process.

• Final Hearing Draft (electronic)
• Executive Summary (electronic)
