Operational Cost

All operating costs for the site and the City Hall Square Plaza will be referred to future operating budgets. Given that a program has not been finalized for the City Hall Square Plaza, there is no reasonable way to estimate an annual operating and maintenance budget. Major elements of the program could have significant effects on the operating cost associated with the plaza. Prior to Phase 2 – Detailed Design and Construction, administration will have an understanding of the operating cost. Further to that, decisions surrounding program elements will be reviewed through the lens of their impacts on operating and maintenance objectives.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, the City Hall Square Plaza and Civic Esplanade project will be phased so that the project can be delivered successfully and adhere to ICIP grant application requirements, internal funding requirements, and stakeholder and public consultation desires. The consultant retained for the Programming and Conceptual Design phase will consult with internal and external stakeholders and refine the program and vision for the project. This project approach gives the City the most flexibility to adjust to the outcomes of the ICIP grant program and internal funding priorities.
