1-Public Engagement Matrix (Cost Proposal).xlsx

This is a Public Engagement Matrix cost proposal for the City of Sandy Springs' Comprehensive Plan Update 2027–2047. The document outlines the consulting team's proposed participation in three categories of public engagement activities: public events, general engagement activities, and digital engagement initiatives. The public events matrix includes 20 recurring and annual events such as the Farmers' Market, Planning Commission Retreat, Recreation and Parks Programs, The Lantern Parade, Citizens Leadership Academy, City Green, Concerts by the Springs, Sundown Social, Movies by Moonlight, Juneteenth Event, Stars and Stripes, Blue Stone Festival, National Night Out, OktoberFeast, Spooky Springs, Sparkle Sandy Springs, MLK City Event, City Council Retreat, and Sandy Springs Business Mixers, with participation timeframes ranging from February 2026 through January 2027 and estimated consulting team hours per event ranging from one to four hours. The general engagement activities section encompasses 11 activity types including Public Open Houses, Charette/Visioning Workshops, Pop-up Events in City Parks, Advisory Committee Meetings, Stakeholder Meetings or Interviews, Youth Leadership Sandy Springs, Community Assistance Center Events, Events with Perimeter Community Improvement Districts, MARTA Station Pop-up Events, Other Nonprofit Partner Events, and Apartment Complex Pop-ups, with minimum and proposed numbers of events specified for each category.

The cost proposal matrix indicates that all line items show zero consulting team hours allocated and zero proposed events, resulting in a total proposed cost of $0.00 across all three engagement categories. The document includes provisions for supplemental task funding related to Conjoint Analysis and Policy Preference Modeling, with a designated space for inserting additional costs. The matrix structure provides columns for event timeframes, estimated hours of participation, number of consulting team hours proposed, minimum and maximum required events by type, proposed number of events, cost per event, and total proposed cost, though the current submission reflects no financial commitment for the listed public engagement activities.
