• collectinformationregardingtheinvolvementofindividuals,institutionsandorganizationsincludingbutnotlimitedtothoselistedinStep3;

• communicatewithalllevelsofgovernment;• reviewandconfirm theprojectapproach, schedulingandbudgeting requirements for the

feasibilitystudy;• discuss facility needs, assessment goals, data collection and analysis, objectives,

methodology,scopeandtiming. Integratecommunityconsultation/outreachworkalreadyunderway.Developafinalworkplan;

• NEEDTOCLARIFYTIMELINES;• reviewproposedsites;• establishcommunicationandproceduralarrangementsbetweentheExecutiveCommittee

andtheconsultingteam;• confirm key project stakeholders, user groups, business leaders and political

representatives;• outlinereportformats;and• investigate outside facilities (e.g. Grand Tipi at Cranberry Portage, Rocky View at Denare

Beach).


Step 2: Documentation Review

the previous stepswould provide the information to develop themost accurate capital costestimate.

Step 13: Determine Building FootprintInorderthattheselectedsitecanaccepttheplannedfacility,anoptimumfootprintwouldbedeveloped. The building program would identify the optimum building design by assigningvariousspacestofloorswithconsiderationforpotentialprogramgrowthandfacilityexpansion.

Step 14: Site AssessmentThestrengthsandweaknessesoftheselectedsiteswouldbedevelopedto includeAboriginalconsiderations.Astrategywouldbedevelopedtoexploittheidentifiedstrengthsandmitigatetheidentifiedweaknesses.Specialattentionneedstobepaidtothenaturalenvironmentandenvironmental impacts (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design or LEED) of thebuildings. The assessment should include but not be limited to access to utilities, services,internet, public transportation, parking, universal accessibility (e.g.wheelchair ramps,elevators).

Step 15: Capital Cost EstimateA costestimateusingunit costs shouldbe identified for three identifiedpotential sitesusingdata from the feedback to the first interim report to determine the scope of the project(CommunityArtsCentre,AcademyoftheArtsoracombinationinitiative).

Althoughnecessarilypreliminary innature, theestimatesshould furtherassist indeterminingthescale/scopeoftheprojectandthecostsinvolved.Costsshouldinclude:• professionalfees;• permits;• sitedevelopment;• constructioncosts;• specializedequipment(e.g.theatrical,technical);• LEEDmodelingrequirements;and• phasingstrategieswouldbeexplored.


Step 16: Conceptual DrawingsA schematic design should be developed, workingwith an architect to be appointed by theExecutive Committee. The conceptual drawings should include exterior views and interiorplans.

Step 17: Funding Feasibility UsinginformationprovidedbytheFlinFlonArtsCouncilExecutiveCommittee,alistofpotentialfundingsourceswouldbe included in the report.

Interim Report 2 AsecondinterimreportcoveringSteps10through17willbesubmitted.

The structure and layout of this report will be set in the initiation meeting and revised asrequiredduringthestudy.

Thereportwouldbe issuedtotheFlinFlonArtsCouncilExecutiveCommittee forreviewanddissemination topotential partners and theTask ForceCommittee. Followinganappropriatetimeforreview,theprojectteamwouldmakeaformalpresentationtothecommunity.

The interim report would be revised based on the input and feedback received during thepresentationsandsubsequentdiscussions.

Step 18: Operating Models and Operating BudgetsIn this step various operating models will be explored along with appropriate operatingagreements,jointuseagreements,operatingmandates,policiesandprinciples.Organizationalstructures will be determined as well as staffing levels, board of director roles andresponsibilities.Theuseofvolunteerswouldbeexamined.Usingallthedatainthestudy,proformaoperating budgetswould be developed for opening, in three, five and tenyears.
