Question 11: Assumptions/Justifications/Metllodology/Calculations The City, many organizations, and members of the community have realized the importance of tourism in our community and the positive affect it has on our current businesses, community, along with the ability to bring in additional businesses. Preparing a comprehensive stormwater design for construction purposes is one of the first steps in beautifying the downtown and surrounding community, as well as being efficient with the different infrastructure systems. It is assumed that enhancing sidewalks, reducing street widths, and adding parking will make the City more attractive for tourists to stop and shop. Infrastructure design gets the City one step closer to completing this. We believe, after construction, this will not only retain several businesses, but attract new businesses. Currently there are many businesses that have complained to the City regarding poor stonnwater facilities and drainage issues. It is safe to say that this design project would show good faith in attempting to resolve their concerns. A business retention number of five was based upon the number of stonnwater complaints the City receives a year. Question 12: Assumptions/JustificationslMethodoIogy/Calculations We anticipate employing six people while working on a comprehensive stonnwater design. This number would increase significantly once the design is complete and eventually moves into the construction phase. This project will require hiring a company to survey the City of Cle Elum locating catch basins, current snow holding areas, and main trunk lines which will be done by two field surveyors and one surveying technician. Once this is complete one Professional Civil Engineer and one Design Engineer will work together to create the comprehensive stormwater system. A project manager will oversee each segment that is to be included in the design of the stonnwater revitalization project. The importance of knowing the concerns the community and businesses have with the current state of the stormwater infrastructure will provide the best outcome for a design. With the stonnwater system design then construction the ability for the city to continue to prosper and allow other city enhancements in turn will create stability for current and room for new job opportunities.
