SCOPE OF SERVICES
Phase 2
Project Overview
The City of Spokane Valley (City) is developing a subarea plan and development
regulations to establish a framework for revitalizing the Sprague /Appleway corridor.
A priority for the City is to locate, plan and develop a City Center in the vicinity of
Sprague Avenue and University Road. This project requires consulting services to
assist the City in working with property owners to determine their level of interest in
creating a City Center. ClearPath, LLC (ClearPath) will act as the City's key strategic
advisor and consultant team lead in all City Center negotiations and deal structuring,
as directed by the City.
The tasks completed under this contract are considered to be the second phase.
Primary actions taken in the second phase will solidify collaboration with the Library
and Fire District in the siting of those facilities. To identify the optimal approach for
the City to control the land for the City Center, three alternative acquisition and
development scenarios will be explored. This phase will conclude with one selected
course of action to control the land. Other related tasks will be carried out to support
these primary tasks. After ClearPath completes the tasks identified in this Scope of
Services, a new Scope of Services will be developed as needed for a third phase.
The third phase will further solidify the Conceptual Master Plan and timing with the
Library. This phase will focus on further implementation of the land acquisition
alternative decided in Phase 2. A community communications plan will also be
developed and implemented to encourage strong community support.
Work Program
The following task list describes the services to be carried out by ClearPath for Phase
Two. As the project proceeds, the task list may be modified as directed by the City.
ClearPath shall inform the City immediately if City directed task modifications impact
their ability to complete the below identified tasks within the Phase 2 budget.
Task 1. Communicate
During Phase Two of the Project, ClearPath will continue to have clear and regular
communications with City Council and Staff. Actions of this task will include:
• Establish the path forward
o ClearPath will complete the Master Process and Plan graphic and
discuss how this visual representation depicts the way everything will
come together. ClearPath will brief City Staff on a regular basis about
the progress being made.
• Charter the effort
o ClearPath will work with the City to pre - develop the Charter document.
The Charter will include the City's Vision, Mission and Values as they
relate to this project, as well as topics such as Desired Outcomes,
Roles and possible Barriers.
• Hold an Executive Session on valuation and acquisition approaches to land
assembly, if needed.
• Meet with City Staff (and Council) in a public session to get final approval on the
land assembly approach.
• Establish orientation for City Hall and Library
o ClearPath will hold a meeting with City and the Library to collaboratively
develop a conceptual Siting plan. ClearPath will then brief the Council
on the meeting and the current status of the relationship and Siting
status with the Library.
Task 2. Establish Detailed Site Plan for Public Uses
ClearPath will lead, guide and make recommendations to the City about the
proposed site. In Phase 3, ClearPath will provide the actual Site Plan. ClearPath will
do the following as it relates to the site plan:
• Establish the spatial relationship between City Hall, Fire District & Library (site
planning)
• Organize and lead a meeting or call with the City's consultant team to reach
agreement on the strategy, phasing, targeted uses, site plan, etc.
• Establish the non -civic uses for the site
• Create a desired use mix for the project
• Communicate with tenant prospects, as needed
• Make Master Plan recommendations to the City
Task 3. Select Site
In order to select a site, ClearPath's first action will be to ensure full communication
and coordination with the Library site search effort. ClearPath will establish regular
site selection meetings with the Library and Fire District, which will include
discussions about preliminary budgets and schedules.
ClearPath will evaluate and communicate land assembly approaches to City Staff
and Council. ClearPath will guide Staff and Council to an understanding of value, and
the cost benefits of various strategies to control the City Center site.
In this Phase, three alternative approaches (A, B, C listed below) will be initially
undertaken simultaneously:
Alternative A
• This alternative tests a development alliance with Mr. Jim Magnuson.
o ClearPath will test the Magnuson Alliance and hold two meetings to
discuss the feasibility of this option.
Alternative B
• Alternative B explores the concept of creating a land assembly alliance to
option or acquire property without the initial use of City funds.
o ClearPath will explore this alternative and, if appropriate, initiate a land
assembly alliance.
Alternative C
• Alternative C initiates discussions and negotiations directly with property
owners with the idea of utilizing City capital to acquire and /or option properties.
o ClearPath will reconnect with owners through discussions, and if
appropriate, begin conversations about negotiations.
ClearPath will test each Alternative with the Council and Owners. ClearPath will also
maintain open and regular communications with the City about site selection
throughout each action in this task.
Task 4. Understand Value of Real Estate Worth
Each Site Acquisition Alternative (highlighted in Task 3) requires an understanding of
market value. Initiation of the appraisal process will provide the basis of value for the
City. The appraised value will become the foundation of the City's acquisition
approach. ClearPath will do the following actions to lead, support and guide the City
in this process:
• Develop the Scope for the appraiser
• Select an appraiser
• Review appraisal and evaluate ramifications
. Develop acquisition approaches
Task 5. Complete Infrastructure Improvements Plan
For this task ClearPath will primarily rely on the City's timeline for the Appleway
Extension. ClearPath will hold discussions with the City to best understand the
changes on Sprague and the proposed timeline.
Task 6. Develop Financing Strategy
ClearPath will assist the City where possible to explore financing options for the site
acquisition and infrastructural improvements.
Task 7. Build Collaborative Team
Team building is a critical element to the success of the project. To bring the team
together, ClearPath will
• Create clarity to goals, deliverables and roles through a project/team Charter
(as referred to in Task 1)
• Organize and lead the team in establishing project direction (as referred to in
Task 2)
• Communicate regularly with City Staff, Council and other stakeholders
• Direct the energies and outcomes of the team's efforts toward building a broad
based community understanding and alliance for the project
