WELCOME

Aaron Briggs, AICP, LEED AP Chair, Federal Planning Division, APA HB&A

Richard Dorrier, AICP, LEED AP Chair, 2017 FPD Workshop Coordinating Committee AECOM

T he Federal Planning Division is delighted to welcome you to the 22nd annual American Planning Association Federal Planning Division Workshop!

We’ve all heard the maxim that “the only constant is change,” and as planners, our role is to anticipate and analyze change and translate it into clear, practical guidance for the decision-makers we support. We must embrace change, and in order to embrace and understand the political, technological, and physical changes happening around us, we have to stay constantly in motion. We can’t afford to let our practice or knowledge get too stale or static, and we also can’t continue to do our job well if we stay too far in our comfort zone. In support of that notion, this year’s theme is “Federal Planning on the Move.”

We hope this workshop provides ample opportunity for participants to test ourselves, to learn about new changes and practices, and to keep our approach to federal planning fresh and relevant. We also hope that the program, packed full of presentations, mobile workshops, panel discussions, and engaging speakers, will inspire you to ponder and discuss questions like “Where are we going?” and “What’s next?”

We are looking forward to continuing to build relationships, furthering our understanding of critical issues, and recognizing the value and quality of the work that federal planners produce. We have a great opportunity in NYC to learn from and experience a great city, and with a workshop that is split between Manhattan and Brooklyn, we’re going to be quite literally “on the move” this week. We hope it’s rewarding and exciting for all.

We would like to thank our sponsors who helped to make this workshop possible, the Brooklyn Marriott and GSA for logistical support, and most importantly, the many participants and presenters who have taken the time to join us here in New York City.

Onward!

TRACK 1: MAKING GREAT SPACES & PLACES

We are all doing great work out there, and this track allows us to present and discuss the latest in physical Federal facility planning. Presentations on new techniques and trends in facility planning at all scales – region, installation, area, site – are included from government and consulting planners working as a team. Innovation in planning ideas and new technology solutions to produce and communicate successful plans are included in these presentations. The geography of presentations is wide-ranging, but given the FPD Workshop location in NYC, we’ve encouraged sessions that address Federal facilities in urban environments.

TRACK 2: ENVIRONMENT, ENERGY & RESILIENCY

Environmental issues including renewable energy, natural resource protection, water quality and conservation, climate change, and sea level rise are predominant topics affecting today’s Federal plans. These issues are not going away despite possible changing priorities in the new administration. This track encourages presenters working on any of these issues to share their current planning ideas and work, as well as ideas on how to best address the environmental issues of the future. New York City has undergone significant recovery work after “Super Storm” Sandy that we can learn from, as well as other cities and Federal sites across the country affected by environmental change. Examples of effective environmental planning at any of these locations are included in this track.

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP

The 2017 Annual Federal Planning Workshop includes three session tracks to share information about Federal planning and allow opportunities to discuss new ideas and directions for Federal agencies and departments, as follows:

TRACK 3: TRANSPORT AND INFRASTRUCTURE

A major investment in infrastructure is potentially on the horizon. In addition, government at all levels is involved with encouraging alternative forms of transport in our plans and proposed development. This track provides opportunities to discuss these issues, and what we’re doing and expect to do in addressing the latest in infrastructure planning affecting Federal facilities and lands. In addition, how can we come to New York City and not get out and see some of what this great city has to offer? Reflecting our theme – Federal Planning on the Move – and associated with this track, we are including walking tours in Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn with group discussions on not just mobility topics but others such as historic preservation, security, resiliency, and current techniques in architecture, engineering and design.

NEXGEN EGLIN: RECAPITALIZING THE LARGEST DOD INSTALLATIONSESSION 1.1 - GSA ROOM JJohn Minter, John Gallop & AssociatesAnthony Lee, AFIMSC - Det 6/CEOJack Kiger, Eglin AFBAndy Mashek, Burns & McDonnell Kyle Roberts, Burns & McDonnell

Burns & McDonnell and John Gallup & Associates, contracted through USACE-Louisville District, are currently updating the Eglin AFB Installation Development Plan and Downtown District Area Development Plan. Both efforts are driven by the vision of transforming the mid-20th century installation into a 21st century “NexGen” installation enabling cutting-edge Research Development Test & Evaluation (RDT&E) programs and Team Eglin missions to produce war-winning capabilities for the warfighter.

UNMANNED AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS: CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR STATES AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTSSESSION 2.1 - GSA ROOM HMike Branum, NAVFAC SoutheastDaniel Friedenzohn, Embry Riddle Aeronautical UniversityIan Joyce, Ecology and Environment

Prevalent availability and use of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) have placed this technology at the forefront of policy discussions. In 2016 FAA released Part 107 for civilian and commercial use of UAS. States and local governments have since enacted regulations (many subject to preemption) of their own to protect citizens and infrastructure, including airports. Unauthorized UAS activity is on the rise. Operations around aircraft and airports is dangerous and illegal. A planning approach is needed to identity practical state and local policy solutions to address unauthorized UAS activity.

FRANKLIN PARK VISION PLAN: SUCCESSFUL INTERAGENCY COLLABORATIVE PLANNINGSESSION 3.1 - GSA ROOM ITimothy Canan, Louis BergerEliza Voigt, National Park ServiceThor Nelson, DC Office of PlanningEllen Jones, Downtown DC Business Improvement District

Franklin Park, an urban park within the National Park Service (NPS), occupies an entire city block of about 5 acres along the K Street corridor in downtown Washington, DC. NPS, with its partners, the District of Columbia Office of Planning (DCOP) and the District of Columbia Downtown Business Improvement District, successfully completed a vision and transformation plan for Franklin Park. The plan was developed to transform Franklin Park into a premier active, flexible and sustainable urban park connected to its community while enhancing the historic and urban qualities of the park.

process is very collaborative and involves many stakeholders from different organizations and perspectives, such as regional representatives, base planners, base tenants, contractors, etc. The session will present best practices and lessons learned from each of these perspectives.

THE BASE OF THE FUTURESESSION 2.2 - GSA ROOM HJerry Zekert, HQ U.S. Army Corps of EngineersMark Gillem, The University of Oregon/The Urban CollaborativeZoe Anton, The Urban Collaborative

In an era of increasing reliance on all types of public-private ventures, from enhanced use leases to housing privatization, this session will explore how federal planners can provide certainty to their leadership and flexibility to investors. The session will focus on the foundational requirements for the base of the future, which is an actual base replete with the facilities required to support the mission and appropriate quality of life functions and the financial model to fund those facilities. The session will include an in-depth analysis of a base of the future case study.

LOS ALAMOS ON THE MOVE: NUCLEAR CHANGES AHEAD SESSION 3.2 - GSA ROOM IDaniel Pava, Los Alamos National Laboratory

Environmental stewardship, sustainability and resiliency are integrated into mission and support operations at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). Occupying 40 square miles of the scenicPajarito Plateau and wedged between the Rio Grande and Jemez Mountains, the Laboratory is surrounded by national parks, forests and tribal lands. This talk will describe how LANL is addressing environmental challenges so that it can carry out its mission while protecting resources. Progress in forest and wildland fire management, energy and water conservation and pollution prevention will be highlighted.

TARGETING COMPATIBLE LAND USE WITH THE POWER OF GIS SESSION 1.3 - GSA ROOM JKristina Carroll, Joint Base McGuire- Dix-LakehurstAmy DiCarlantonio, Ecology and EnvironmentJenny Mogavero, Ecology and Environment

JB MDL has a long history of providing military training space for a variety of units from throughout the DoD. These missions rely on cooperation, communication, and compatible land use to ensure public health, safety, and welfare, as well as enable military training and readiness. To support these goals the Air Force’s ICEMAP program includes the development of a Compatible Land Use Strategy (CLUS). This session will discuss the GIS analysis used to inform the JBMDL CLUS, which is expected to be used to expand the base’s Readiness and Environmental Protection Integration (REPI) program. By expanding on JBMDL’s REPI planning efforts, a GIS multi-criteria evaluation model was developed for the CLUS to innovatively evaluate over 96,000 parcels surrounding the installation. This comprehensive and efficient planning level analysis successfully assessed mission priorities and identified high-priority parcels and associated land use strategies for compatibility. The results were used to identify real estate and non-real estate opportunities, as well as potential encroachment partnering actions. The CLUS approach is flexible to various planning level scenarios and is suitable for initial land use compatibility assessments at a local and regional scale.

A PHASED APPROACH TO RESILIENCY: CRAWL, RUN, WALK, FLY SESSION 2.3 - GSA ROOM HMichael Firenze, CleansparkElizabeth Perales, HDR

Marine Corps Mountain Warfare Training Center (MCMWTC) Bridgeport’s vision is to transition from reliance on the local utility, Southern California Edison, to energy security and independence by development of distributed energy resources (DERs). DERs provide a portfolio of renewable, non-renewable, primary and emergency backup power sources that are locally monitored and controlled. This session presents MCMWTC Bridgeport’s vision and describes the four phases (crawl, walk, run, fly) of infrastructure development required to achieve energy security and net zero goals.

SMART SHORE IMPLEMENTATION: THE FUTURE OF RESILIENCY SESSION 2.3 - GSA ROOM H

Jim Wink, JacobsJoshua Schiffer, HDRElizabeth Perales, HDRColby Free, GIS Inc.

Navy Region Southwest (NRSW) manages 10 geographically dispersed installations containing more than 12,000 buildings whose combined PRV is over $23 billion. NRSW is improving installation and facility resiliency and energy management through an innovative new program, Smart Shore, which incorporates emerging technology that allows for remote monitoring and management of its widespread facility footprint, reducing energy consumption and waste while enhancing situational awareness to operate a leaner, safer, and more resilient naval shore.

EXPLOSIVES STORAGE PLANNING AND MAGAZINE CHARACTERIZATION AND IDENTIFICATION SESSION 3.3 - GSA ROOM ITyler Ross, APT ResearchChristine Mintz, NAVFAC AtlanticChris Kolhman, NAVFAC Atlantic

The presentation will introduce the newly released (Jan 2017) updates to UFC 2-000-05N section 420 for Ammunition Storage as well as the newly released Magazine Storage Requirement Calculator (MSRC). The new UFC methodology and MSRC have been developed to provide planners with a powerful analysis tool that can be used to generate Basic Facility Requirements (BFR), support Military Construction projects (MILCON), recapitalization studies and Base Re-alignment and Closure (BRAC) analyses. The new UFC methodology ties the analysis procedures for each of these into a consistent model that will be used across the Navy. The new NOSSA methodology for identifying and characterizing ammunition and explosives storage magazines is presented with the Magazine Design Type CODEX. Updated methodologies for Asset Evaluations including the Magazine Construction Assessment Report (MCAR) and magazine identification CODEX input into the real property inventory system (Navy - iNFADS) are presented.

PLANNING TOOLKIT IN SUPPORT OF STATIONING ACTIONS SESSION 1.4 - GSA ROOM JDarrel Sisk, Parsons Daniel Wheat, Parsons

This session will discuss the process used to establish Air Force Special Operations Command Facilities Requirements and then automate the development of facility requirements and initial programmatic construction cost estimates using an automated ToolKit developed by Parsons, and then explore how the process could be employed by other Department of Defense organizations.

CHOOSING SMART LOCATIONS: A NEW TOOL FOR SITING WORKPLACES SESSION 1.4 - GSA ROOM J

Karen Handsfield, GSA, Urban Development ProgramRuth Kroeger, GSA, Urban Development ProgramJohn Thomas, EPA, Office of Sustainable Communities

How does a public real estate agency determine where to locate new owned and leased facilities? Factors such as cost and square footage, easy to measure and rank, have always been part of the equation, but what about commitments to make operations more sustainable, minimize local infrastructure costs, support regional planning goals, and improve air quality? How can we help non-planners weigh these factors, too, in more than 500 decisions each year?

GSA, the Federal Government’s landlord, needed data to inform location decisions nationwide. From this need, and through a partnership with the EPA’s Office of Sustainable Communities, a new tool, the Smart Location Calculator (SLC), was born. The tool is fully operational and available for use by federal agencies and the public, alike.

In this session, attendees will learn how public real estate agencies (federal and state) are using the SLC to evaluate the performance of their facility locations to inform their site decisions, and why that matters to regional economic development, the environment, and social equity. They’ll also learn how the SLC is being used to change behavior regarding facility site selection, track improvements over time, and incentivize fully-informed decisions.

FROM TENTS TO SUSTAINABLE CAMP BUEHRING SESSION 2.4 - GSA ROOM HCPT Wes Baker, USARENTJoey Ball, USACE Fort Worth District Rich Gorman, Baker-AECOM JVJeff Tepsic, Baker-AECOM JVLan Thao Nguyen, Baker-AECOM JV

Located approximately 25 miles south of Iraq, Camp Buehring has recently been designated as an enduring base supporting U.S. Army Central Command (USARCENT). Originally developed to support Operation Desert Storm, the camp reemerged in importance during Operation Iraqi Freedom and today is an area‐wide asset for USARCENT supporting Operation Inherent Resolve and Operation Spartan Shield in the defense of Kuwait. Transitioning the base camp to enduring status is a major master planning challenge and an opportunity to implement sustainable practices; integrating the environmental issues of energy and resiliency.

ENTERPRISE MAPPING, DATA AND WORKFLOW - WEB BASED AUTOMATED PLANNING TOOL SESSION 3.4 - GSA ROOM I

Johnathan Stacy, Naval Ordnance Safety and Security ActivityLea Ann Cotton, DoD Explosives Safety BoardChris Kolhman, NAVFAC AtlanticChristine Mintz, NAVFAC Atlantic

The Department of Defense Explosives Safety Board (DDESB) and the Military Departments have developed a desktop GIS based analytical tool for analyzing facilities and operations against current explosive safety criteria and performing risk based analysis. The DoD Facility Business Governance Board has authorized the transition from the desktop application to a Web-Based System that integrates use and control of enterprise GIS, real property, and explosives safety data with geospatial analysis of criteria and automated workflow for project review and approval. This effort will transition the explosives safety planning process from reliance on installation level desktop analytics and manual update of the data to a Joint Service Planning Tool using enterprise data and automatically routing review and approval of proposed work to the appropriate officials across the Services. The increased reliance on enterprise data improves the accuracy of the reviews, but increases the requirement to integrate explosives safety requirements into all aspects of facility engineering processes, data gathering requirements, and enterprise system designs. This transition will require partnering with the Services Facility Engineering community to design the new system. This approach also shows promise as a wider planning tool that can automate any geospatial based procedural planning process.


MASTER PLANS AS LIVING DOCUMENTS SESSION 1.5 - GSA ROOM JHeather Mendenall, Tetra TechMAJ Arthur Dietrich, USAF, 65 CES/CD, Lajes Field, AzoresMarion Cook, AFIMSC

Scopes of work for Federal Planning often state that the plan must be a living document. The question is, what does it truly mean for a Master Plan to be a living document? This session explores the idea that the Stakeholders ultimately create and maintain the plan as a living document regardless of delivery format. Stakeholder engagement defined key elements of Master Plans that the base planner can leverage into the future regardless of the changing tides of project funding. Three specific projects will be explored along with innovate ways to use technology to create living plans.

REVERSIBLE PLANS: MAKING A RESILIENT PLAN THAT WILL LAST SESSION 1.5 - GSA ROOM JRudy Bauer, Tetra TechMAJ Arthur Dietrich, USAF, 65 CES/CD, Lajes Field, Azores

Having been involved in Military Planning for over 30 years, it became evident to me that there seemed not to be an adequate “crystal ball” to anticipate future years’ funding for Defense spending. Yet in hind sight, there were many times when the experts were surprised but shouldn‘t have been. We will look at specific planning examples that were “caught short” because of an inability to have shovel ready projects available for funding that seemingly appeared overnight. We will look at a specific

example from Lajes Field where the plan is flexible enough to allow a course change.

PARTICIPATORY PLANNING: TECHNIQUES AND TOOLS FOR SUCCESSSESSION 2.5 - GSA ROOM HJerry Zekert, HQ U.S. Army Corps of EngineersMark Gillem, The University of Oregon/The Urban CollaborativeBarry Gordon, The Urban Collaborative

This session will introduce planners to tools and techniques they can use to effectively manage participatory processes. The old adage by Ben Franklin remains true - “tell me I forget, teach me I remember, involve me I learn.” The best outcomes and the most durable plans emerge out of participatory processes that involve stakeholders in the planning effort. Tools that will be discussed and used in this interactive session include visual surveys, Crawford Slips, concept mapping, quantitative scoring, and alternative gaming.

PLANNING FUTURE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS ON FEDERALLY-OWNED LANDSSESSION 3.5 - GSA ROOM IHeather Richardson, National Park ServiceKatie Lamoureux, U.S. DOT / Volpe Center

There is no question that our National Park Service units are extraordinary places. NPS manages more than 400 units, including nearly 13,000 miles of roads, 1,500 bridges, 130 transit systems, and countless miles of trails. Visitation to NPS units has been rising dramatically in recent years, leading to a series of transportation challenges. Creative transportation solutions, often outside of NPS properties, are needed to ensure safe and sustainable visitation to the Parks.

This session will provide an overview of how the NPS is approaching transportation planning and infrastructure management in light of limited funding. We will examine current NPS transportation planning projects in the Northeast Region, such as:

• Improved public transit and non-motorized access to Gateway National Recreation Area, an underutilized urban park in New York City;

• Regional-scale assessment of transportation asset exposure to sea-level rise and storm surge, including climate change impacts; and

TACTICAL URBANISM AT MILITARY INSTALLATIONS: OPPORTUNITIES AND OBSTACLESSESSION 1.6 - GSA ROOM J James McMurray, HB&A Glen Messke, Peterson AFBDarren Horstmeier, Schriever AFB

Tactical Urbanism has become one of the recent hot movements in the civilian planning world. Given the organizational structure and approach to development at military installations, does Tactical Urbanism have the potential to work within a military context? If so, what approaches might work, and what benefits might be realized?

THE REGULATING PLAN AND BEYOND: DIRECTION, IMPLEMENTATION AND CAPITAL INVESTMENT SESSION 1.6 - GSA ROOM JLee Feaster, JacobsDaniel Greenfield, JacobsDan Motta, New York ARNG

The session will explore the relationship between development direction, regulating plans and implementation to develop a successful plan. In a discussion format, several project examples from various agencies using different criteria will be presented as the foundation for discussion on how to customize the approach to client needs.

CREATING A HYDROPOWER MASTER PLANSESSION 2.6 - GSA ROOM HAndrew Wright, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Omaha District

In 2016, the Omaha District completed a master plan for the six Missouri River hydropower plants to guide future development decisions by allowing a comprehensive evaluation of all the projects. These federal hydropower plants are vitally important to the rural Midwest and have been providing clean, renewable energy for over 50

17

years. This session will focus on the development and results of the plan that will extend that legacy for an additional 50 years.

DECISION SUPPORT TOOLS FOR ARMY PLANNING SESSION 2.6 - GSA ROOM HJuliana Wilhoit, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Engineer Research and Development CenterAngela Urban, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Engineer Research and Development Center

Decision support tools are essential in improving mission effectiveness, resiliency and readiness at U.S. Army installations. In developing a series of tools to inform planning processes at a variety of fixed and contingency operations, this presentation will describe four key areas in better planning for the Warfighter: optimal infrastructure placement, regional water balance modeling, pollution prevention (P2) initiative planning, and organic waste diversion practices.

RESILIENCY PLANNING FOR U.S. FOREST SERVICE’S TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM SESSION 3.6 - GSA ROOM IPablo Cruz, U.S. Forest Service, Southeast RegionBenjamin Rasmussen, U.S. DOT / Volpe Center

The nearly 200 million acres of public lands managed by the U.S. Forest Service (FS) are susceptible to wide-ranging climate change impacts in every region of the country. In addition to impacts that directly affect its lands, such as an increase in wildfires and tree mortality due to drought and higher temperatures, climate change also poses impacts to the roads, bridges, and other transportation infrastructure needed to access and travel within FS lands. Although much work has been done to characterize climate change impacts to the forests themselves, less has been done to analyze impacts to transportation infrastructure in the forests.

FS and U.S. DOT Volpe Center staff have developed a guidebook to provide FS field staff with a process to assess and address climate change impacts on FS transportation assets in National Forests. The guidebook provides guidance relative to:

• Identifying vulnerabilities within the FS transportation network;

• Reducing transportation vulnerability to climate change; and

• Linking implementation opportunities to FS plans and programs.

This presentation will provide an overview of the guidebook, and a discussion about the field testing of the guidebook, which is scheduled for spring/summer 2017.

WHAT YOU CAN LEARN FROM COURTHOUSES ABOUT LONG-RANGE FACILITIES PLANNING AND ASSET MANAGEMENT PLANNING FOR YOUR HIGHLY SECURE BUILDINGS SESSION 1.7 - GSA ROOM JHollie Dupes, JacobsSuzanne Allan, Administrative Office of the United States CourtsLaura Hibbert, JacobsKeith Fentress, Fentress Inc.

Planning and prioritizing for highly secure federal facilities is a continuous and interactive process that requires careful consideration of all parameters affecting current and future operations. This includes the identification of planning and security needs, having a vision, goals and objectives to transform long-range plans into non-prospectus and prospectus-level projects.

18

With an evolving federal landscape and increasing need to create safe secure environments, significant changes are taking place and the most effective plans succeed beyond these transitions.

Since 1988, the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts has maintained a long-range facilities planning program for its 491 courthouses located nationwide; these courthouses and the additional facilities that support them total over 29 million usable square feet. The success of the 29 year old program and its qualitative and quantifiable methodology resulted in the 2016 Omnibus Bill for 10 courthouse projects totaling $1 billion. This panel discussion provides an overview of the program and instructs planners on how to develop a facility planning process for a large federal program, prioritizing capital projects, and the strategies used to get funding for our nation’s federal courthouses.

BREEZY POINT HOME ELEVATION DESIGN GUIDELINES : MERGING ARCHITECTURE AND URBANISMSESSION 2.7 - GSA ROOM HSusana Arissó, Louis BergerElizabeth Claassen, Goshow Architects

Flood prone communities are beginning to establish “elevation design guidelines”, as a user’s manual on how to raise buildings above base flood elevation, or the elevation to which floodwater is anticipated to rise during a 100-year storm event. The Breezy Point Home Elevation Study employed a novel approach on design guidelines for a unique coastal community, by focusing on urbanism as much as on architecture. Architectural Standards were modeled on the potential urban context of elevated homes, visualizing a set of Study Options to inform homeowners on how their choice of architectural standards will affect their neighborhood character, resulting in the Neighborhood Design Guidelines.

This is the first study of its type to merge architecture and urbanism. Other preceding home elevation guidelines focus primarily on the architecture of the individual home. Although adjoining properties are marginally considered in preceding reports, no consideration is given to the pedestrian experience on the streetscape, examining the potential impact on the street character after elevating homes on both sides of the street. This study provides results from visual exploratory research that informs homeowners on both architectural and urbanist impacting decisions – a study model so far unprecedented in this type of report.

DHS FIELD EFFICIENCY STRATEGIC PLAN SESSION 1.8 - GSA ROOM JBrian Maday, Department of Homeland SecuritySteve White, Department of Homeland Security

The Department of Homeland Security was formed in 2002 and is currently made up of 22 separate agencies. When the Department formed, those agencies had existing offices and functions which generally remained in the same locations. Now it is time to look at the locations and functions of those agencies and develop a master plan to promote consolidation and efficiency while maintaining mission capability and preparing for future functions.

To do this the Office of Chief Readiness Support embarked on a study of the 12 metropolitan areas where DHS has the most presence to determine not only what to do with facilities, but how to effectively and efficiently address shared services to include facility management, motor pool, training, logistics and environmental. The Department began the study with an initial pilot in the Boston, Massachusetts area, a second in the Seattle area, and then held studies in 10 other cities with a last one currently taking place in Puerto Rico. Come hear how this agency is approaching efficiency to use lessons learned for your organization. We’ll also address what is happening with DHS in New York City.

GREEN ROOF PARKING, FAMILY HOUSING, PALLADIOSESSION 1.9 - GSA ROOM JWayne Hausser, ParsonsChristopher Anderson, USAG Italy Erik Johnson, USACE Huntsville

Less land, established standards, and more requirements are challenges common to most planning efforts. When you add desires for green sustainability and residential livability the challenge requires commitment to design, iterative and experiential concept review, and innovation. Oh yeah! Lets add the influences of the Andrea Palladio and world heritage recognized architecture.

VISUALIZING DEVELOPMENT CONCEPTS TO IMAGINE THE POSSIBILITIESSESSION 2.9 - GSA ROOM HEd McConnell, HDREric Tkachenko, HDR Suzanne Casagrande, HDRAndy Osborn, USAG StuttgartPaul Scoggins, USAF Global Strike Command

This is a two-part presentation that demonstrates the value of graphics as a critical communication tool to advance planning concepts and inform future project designs. Part 1 will explore how USAG Stuttgart Public Works staff needed a tool to help inspire stakeholders and generate discussion on the long-range development potential of Kelley Barracks. They wanted to communicate a variety of unconstrained development ideas to assist in illustrating the range of physical development possibilities with respect to design vernacular

while solving site-design issues. This presentation will demonstrate the value of high quality graphics to communicate complex development scenarios to drive focused discussion and collaboration on critical installation development issues. Part 2 will present how the USAF Global Strike Command, Barksdale AFB, and F.E. Warren AFB collaborated to create updated Installation Planning Standards to provide consistency in the built environment, establish a sense of place, and enhance the quality of life for Airmen, family members, and civilian personnel. The IPS documents were developed in collaboration with base community planners, architects and environmental planning staff. These new standards will apply to all new construction, renovation, maintenance, and repairs at each of the respective installations.

THE WAY AHEAD: LEVERAGING TENANT PARTNERSHIPS TO CREATE GREAT PLACES AT FORT GORDON SESSION 1.10 - GSA ROOM JDerek Meyers, Department of DefenseKatherine Welton, USACE Baltimore DistrictKeith Scott, USAG Fort GordonJon McMillen, Pond & Company

This FPD session is proposed to examine the success of a planning process and program that was initiated for the Fort Gordon West District, Fort Gordon, GA. As a major tenant at Fort Gordon, the NSA catalyzed the development of an Area Development Plan (ADP), Sustainability Component Plan (SCP), and Area Development Execution Plan (ADEP) for Fort Gordon West, as the installation Garrison didn’t have the funding resources to make it happen, nor the internal visibility of the cyber / technology platforms to examine what the future of the site would or could be.

A PLANNING HANDBOOK ON CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION & RESILIENCE SESSION 2.10 - GSA ROOM HChristina Hudson, LeidosCarolyn Mitchell, Louis Berger

Learn about the new Naval Facilities Engineer Command (NAVFAC) Climate Change Planning Handbook - Installation Adaptation and Resilience, released in January 2017. Leidos and Louis Berger presenters will describe the Handbook’s 4 Stages and accompanying spreadsheets and resources. Stages include: 1) establishing scope and characterizing impacts; 2) identifying and screening action alternatives; 3) calculating benefits and costs; and 4) assembling a portfolio of action alternatives.

POV PROBLEM: IDEAS TO ADDRESS CAR DEPENDENCY ON MILITARY INSTALLATIONS SESSION 3.10 - GSA ROOM IAndy Fenstermacher, MAKERS James DuBois, MAKERS

The reliance on personal vehicle ownership on military installations, especially among young service members, has been a persistent issue for military planners. For decades, transportation systems, the built environment, and policies have been built around automobiles, resulting in increased personal expense, decreased physical activity, and the need to maintain additional parking infrastructure. The session will examine this ongoing issue and explore potential physical and programmatic solutions, including an in-depth look at the comprehensive transportation services offered at Joint Base Lewis McChord.

CATEGORY 1: OUTSTANDING FEDERAL PLANNING PROGRAM

Honor AwardNortheast Fisheries Science Center, Strategic Science Plan 2016-2021

LocationWoods Hole, MA

SponsorNOAA Fisheries

ContractorMAKERS Architecture & Urban Design

RemarksAt a time in which challenges to the increasing effects of climate change and to the maintenance, preservation and enhancement of regional marine ecosystems in the United States are increasing, this multidisciplinary collaborative Strategic Science Plan is a brilliant, far-reaching and intensive effort to promote sustainable marine life, practical strategies, and collaborations among all the stakeholders, government agencies and the scientific community. This Plan reflects years of research and awareness of the need to address the threats to wild marine culture and fisheries but most importantly, it is very sensitive to the need to provide specific targets and demonstrations for the implementation of the Plan over a five year period. The implementation plan also includes criteria for annual evaluation of the targeted projects-a component that is essential to the effectiveness of this complex, national plan. This proposal is a model of communication among key stakeholders and interested parties who have been included in all phases of the Plan development. This carefully thought out and essential plan for scientific excellence and for political and regional collaboration is worthy and very appropriate for the Honor Award by the Federal Division of the American Planning Association.


Merit AwardU.S. Army Reserve Regional Support Commands (RSC) Vision Plan & Capital Investment Strategy (CIS)

LocationNational: 99th RSC, 81st RSC, 88th RSC, 63rd RSC Army Reserve Facilities

SponsorOffice of the Chief Army Reserve (OCAR) – Army Reserve Installation Management Directorate (ARIMD)

ContractorAECOM

RemarksFor decades, the Army has been faced with the need to address the future of approximately 650 military facilities across the United States. In 2013, the Army Reserve Installation Directorate (ARIMD) was mandated to create an investment strategy for the improvement or disposal of selected facilities, while establishing criteria and strategies for cost savings and efficiencies for existing installations. At the same time, the Army recognizes that there is a long-term need to develop new facilities in “strategic locations” to meet the challenges of changing populations across the country and changing military missions.

This very daunting challenge has been met in an excellent fashion by the establishment of a brand new process called the Facility Investment Strategy (FIS). The Strategy is contained in a written presentation that includes an unusually clear set of goals and objectives. It also outlines a methodological approach that includes a detailed and comprehensive vision plan with a broad array of stakeholders, a step that is perhaps unusual for a military planning process. The Master Planning Process is extensive and intensive and it is intended to result in the creation of a Guide to priorities for modernization of existing facilities as well as criteria for disposal of other facilities. In addition, the submission plan provides a coherent set of action plans within the master planning process which can be used to evaluate individual facilities while recognizing the need for mitigation options to offset the permanent changes in the facilities.

The written presentation for this very long-term and exceptionally complex plan is to be commended for the clarity and high quality of the writing, graphics and comprehensiveness of its recommendations and planning principles.

ContractorParsons Government Services, Inc. (Prime); subcontractors: Chester Engineers and JWH Environmental Consulting LLC

RemarksWhat stands out most about this plan is the extensive coordination that went into finding the “right” solution that appealed to the extraordinary list of stakeholders involved. Public meetings and presentations were highly effective because of NPS efforts to be all inclusive and cast the widest net possible to obtain input. Stakeholders engaged included about 450 agency representatives, political representatives, individuals and organizations, including six Community Boards, over 30 civic organizations, over 35 natural resource and environmental groups, several historical societies, more than 40 recreation associations, and other interested individuals. Among the Federal, state, regional and local agencies contacted were: Federal Emergency Management Agency; New York State Historic Preservation Office; Tribes /Tribal Historic Preservation Offices; National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National Marine Fisheries Service; U.S. Army Corps of Engineers; U.S. Coast Guard; U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 2; U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service; U.S. Geological Survey; U.S. Natural Resource Conservation Association and over a dozen state agencies. Use of phased implementation is a unique approach transferable to other projects. The importance of this approach is to allow for improved site conditions and ecological resilience as ecosystems recover and for the application of adaptive management measures over time. This approach considers multiple ecosystem and visitor use benefits and solves multiple engineering and community challenges.

LocationWhitney Lake, Brazos River Basin, Texas


ContractorN/A

RemarksThe U.S. Army Corps of Engineers was determined to fix their “dysfunctional” master planning guidance for lakes. The Whitney Lake Master Plan is a great example of how their new model succeeded and has become a template for future lake master plans around the country. The Corps adopted a new tool from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, the Wildlife Habitat Appraisal Procedure (WHAP). The wholesale change of methodology involved a three-day habitat assessment involving park rangers, many of whom are biologists. The process also closely integrated operations and maintenance staff to ensure a viable document. The 2016 Master Plan guides and articulates the Corps’ responsibilities pursuant to Federal laws to preserve, conserve, restore, maintain, manage, and develop the land, water, and associated resources. The 2016 Master Plan focuses on carefully crafted resource specific goals and objectives. It is a dynamic and flexible tool designed to address changing conditions.

CATEGORY 6: OUTSTANDING COLLABORATIVE PLANNING PROJECT

Honor AwardPaved Trails Study - National Park Service (NPS) National Capital Region

LocationSix NPS park units in and around Washington DC

SponsorNational Park Service

ContractorAECOM

RemarksThe National Park Service’s Paved Trails Study aims to enhance the public’s access to natural areas and cultural heritage in the capital region through the development of a regional trail network. The study represents the culmination of a 22-month study and includes 121 recommendations, 94 capital projects and 27 programmatic actions. NPS addressed the unique challenges facing the agency in the Washington DC area, where the trail network is heavily used by both recreational users and daily commuters in the city and crosses state, county and municipal boundaries as it winds its way throughout the region. To address these needs, the NPS planning staff conducted interviews and meetings with both NPS staff from within different park units and external stakeholders working for both local government and advocacy organizations.

The project is recommended for the honor award to recognize the strong long-term agenda for the NPS, the comprehensiveness of the study, the clear and concise report, and the ability to address the challenges that the NPS faces in the DC region.
