Consulting Services - Museum Feasibility Study

Dear Sir/Madam:

*Re:*

	

*Addendum #1 - Consulting Services - Museum Feasibility Study*

Please be advised of the following answers to questions received 
regarding Consulting Services – Museum Feasibility Study:

Q.1 In regards to the Potential Sites and Area Evaluation* *- does the 
City already have specific sites in mind? If so, how many are there to 
evaluate? or are the consultants working from a clean slate and expected 
to make their own series of recommendations as to potential sites?

A.1 We are looking for a detailed set of criteria to measure any 
potential destination museum site against and apply the criteria to 
several specific sites supplied by the City. We are also open to the 
consultant recommendations of sites based on the criteria.

Q.2 In Section 10 - Proposal Submissions - the 4th and 5th bullets state:

/A detailed project methodology explaining each project task including 
what will be expected of both the consultant and the City with respect 
to each task and how the tasks achieve the project objectives/outcomes./ 
Is each bullet in the Project Scope considered to be a task? i.e. are 
there 20 tasks or 3 main tasks with areas to cover - the detail of which 
will be left up to the consultants?

A.2 There are three main areas - Needs Assessment & Conceptual Plan; 
Potential Sites Evaluation; Financial Analysis. However, in particular 
under the needs assessment there are some distinct tasks with, I would 
think, distinct methodologies and requirements. Please bundle them as 
make sense to you. We want to make sure that all of the subcomponents 
are addressed.

/Q.3 A detailed schedule of all activities, including milestones, 
project meetings, public consultation strategy, interim reports and 
progress reports required for this project./ Is this simply a 
recommended outline of a schedule or are further interim reports and 
progress reports a requirement for this project? Under *Consultant 
Duties* there is listed only one draft Feasibility Report and a Final 
Report for submission. Please clarify.

A.3 The expectation for the Museum Feasibility reports is the draft and 
the final report. We are asking you to outline your proposed public 
consultation strategy, at which appropriate points you suggest meetings 
with the Steering Committee, milestones that are communicated to the 
City in some format, etc.

Yours truly,

Sheryl Hrynyk

/Acting Supervisor/
