BackgroundOur team, led by The YMCA of South Hampton Roads, is pleased to present to the City of Chesapeake this conceptual PPEA proposal for the design, construction and operation of a public recreation facility with a competition swimming pool. We propose to construct the project adjacent to the existing Greenbrier YMCA. By building on the City owned Greenbrier Sports Park, our development benefits from numerous synergies and economies associated with the proximity and connection to an existing, complimentary facility. The Y is a national and regional leader in the development and operation of pool facilities, and as a charitable not for profit organization, it’s the ideal partner for the City of Chesapeake. Currently operating 14 fully equipped family centers in Southside Hampton Roads, along with many other facilities, camps and programs, The Y has unparalleled experience in the development and management of family recreation facilities and the ability to serve Chesapeake’s residents with a commitment to quality service and fiscal responsibility.

Team

The YMCA of South Hampton Roads

The YMCA of South Hampton Roads is the 20th largest YMCA in North America with an annual operating budget exceeding $45.0 million serving over 200,000 citizens within our region. As of April 2011, the YMCA membership served 35,409 households in our service area. The active membership within the YMCA is 101,557 people.

Over the course of the past 125 years in Hampton Roads, the Y has grown and evolved, but one thing has remained constant: our mission. It is our reason for being a YMCA, and it is a driving force behind our cause of strengthening the foundation of community through youth development, healthy living and social responsibility.

The lead editorial in The Virginian-Pilot on January 27, 2011 stated “For more than 125 years the YMCA has filled a critical role in South Hampton Roads, helping children and adults alike to stay fit, have fun and live well.

It also has been a substantial contributor to the local economy. The nonprofit has an annual payroll of $22 million and 2,300 employees at facilities stretching from the Outer Banks to the Eastern Shore. It boasts the ninth-largest Y membership.

The Y has long been known for its dedication to our communities, including its willingness to subsidize memberships for the needy. The cost to the organization was $5.7 million in last year alone.

The YMCA of South Hampton Roads is governed by a Board of Directors of leading community citizens who are dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for all our citizens. The management of the YMCA has established a track record of community impact and financial accountability that is highly regarded within our community.”

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

design, and construction administration. Our in-house engineering services include civil, environmental, transportation and traffic, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, structural, and fire protection design. This full-service, in-house capability increases our ability to respond to client schedule and service needs while allowing increased quality control.

ScopeA proposed development on approximately 12.3 acres to include an approximately 50,000 SF natatorium and multi-purpose senior/family center connected to the existing Greenbrier Y with an outdoor water spray park and a 30,000 SF office complex.

Natatorium

The proposed natatorium will house an 8 lane, 50 m x 25 yd competition swimming pool with a consistent 2 m depth and spectator capacity of nearly 1000. Supporting the pool will be locker rooms, offices, storage and mechanical rooms. A connection to the existing Y facility will provide significant benefits including use of the existing pool for competition warm up, increased staffing and management efficiency, and access to amenities for visitors and parents during events and practices.

Multi-Purpose Senior & Family Center

Proposed in association with the natatorium structure and includes flexible spaces available for public use for a variety of community activities and gatherings. Dedicated space for senior citizens will better position the City to meet the unique needs of this important and growing segment of our population.

Spray Park*

An outdoor, interactive and dynamic water park feature that would be accessible through either a daily guest pass or Y membership, located adjacent to the existing Greenbrier Y outdoor pool facilities.

Offi ce Building*

The proposed 17,000 to 32,000 SF Class B office facility would house the new headquarters for the YMCA of South Hampton Roads. Space would be available for lease to the City of Chesapeake Parks and Recreation Department.

The YMCA is working with representatives of the Field House Facility in Virginia Beach, an indoor athletic field competition facility. The proposed site plan provides for the future development of such a facility that would add a major new feature to the City of Chesapeake. In the event the development is not feasible to build, the proposed site plan would support up to 60,000 square feet in new construction that could serve future economic development opportunities for the City of Chesapeake.

* Construction of the Spray Park and Office Building would be financed by the YMCA.

Project Costs and Investment

The estimated project costs funded by the City for design and construction of the 50,000 Aquatic and Community Center are $15,000,000. This includes all projected site development work, design fees, engineering, furnishings, fixtures, and equipment.

The estimated project costs funded by the YMCA for design and construction of the Spray Park and 32,000 SF Office Building are $5,800,000.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The YMCA Team Advantages

» The YMCA of South Hampton Roads possesses unmatched experience in the development and operations of community recreation and pool facilities.

» The project’s proposed location adjacent to the existing Greenbrier Y facilities significantly reduces initial development costs.

» The projects proposed connection to the existing Greenbrier Y facilities reduces operating, staff and management expenses.

» The project includes a privately financed spray park, accessible to the public.

» A local team with a history of commitment to the City of Chesapeake.

» The YMCA has a strong established membership base of Chesapeake residents currently serving 36,177 members who live in the City.

» The YMCA’s Open Doors Program provides financial assistance to those families and individuals who cannot afford to pay the full fee. Currently, 5,581 Hampton Roads households receive $107,434 in monthly financial assistance to insure everyone is welcome at a YMCA.

» The existing Greenbrier Family YMCA already includes most of the features and facilities that were recommended in the previous proposal before City Council. Other than the new facilities included in our response to the RFP, the YMCA network of Family Centers can substantially meet the health, wellness, and recreational needs of the citizens of Chesapeake. By working together with the City to promote the YMCA’s financial assistance and guest pass programs, all of the City’s families and children can gain affordable access to the YMCA.

» Programs and services offered at the Aquatic Center, Senior Center, and Outdoor Spray Park do not require YMCA membership. .

BRITTINGHAM - MIDTOWN COMMUNITY CENTERNEWPORT NEWS, VIRGINIA



MEB General Contractors provided negotiated general contracting services on this twenty story, 127,000 SF, reinforced concrete tower in Virginia Beach. The highly visible project along the beach’s resort strip includes both indoor and outdoor pools with a variety of water features. As construction began, the owner directed nearly complete redesigns for the entire ground floor, including a significantly larger pool, redesigned penthouse units and ADA revisions, and MEB managed the process to have minimal impact on the budget and no impact on the schedule. The complex project is a twin addition to Phase 1, which is similar in size and scope and was fully occupied during the entirety of the construction process. The sensitivity to construction activity included not only the connection to the existing building, but also significant work on the ground level, both inside and outside. Renovations to the existing facility included a redo of the existing Tortuga’s Restaurant kitchen while operational, work in existing units on occupied floors and the addition of new elevators in the existing building core. This resort facility is highly dependant on satisfied customers, and it was critical that MEB not disrupt the activities of the guests, either in the existing tower or on the ground floor amenities such as the lobby, pools, restaurants and bars. Construction operations were maintained in a densely developed section of the oceanfront, with minimal construction lay down and storage areas available. The oceanfront high rise is enclosed in a glass curtainwall system and comprised of one, two and three bedroom apartments, as well as luxury duplex penthouse suites. The poured in place concrete structural is built on a pile foundation. The project includes both indoor and outdoor pool with fountains and spray park features. Both indoor and outdoor pools use a common disinfection and filtration system and the indoor pool makes use of a state-of-the-art dehumidification system.

This 10 acre outdoor exhibit included complex earthwork, underground utility, and other specialized sitework construction. Underground construction of two concrete pile supported artificial rockwork moats included mass excavation, sheet piling and well point dewatering. Site construction also included earthen walkways, concrete pavement and sidewalks, perimeter fencing, manual and electrical gates for active and passive barriers, irrigation systems, wooden boardwalks, significant landscaping, as well as the routing, extending and new installation of all utilities including stormwater, water, and sanitary sewer. MEB General Contractors maintains the required equipment and site crews to self perform these critical sitework activities. Buildings were constructed on concrete masonry, structural steel and suspended slabs. The various facilities include administrative offices, animal housing, labs, and public exhibits. Specialized interior construction included caging systems, specialty hardware, special coatings, complex HVAC and electrical systems, and extensive site lighting. Included in the project are (3) natural environment swimming ponds treated with both chlorine and U/V disinfection systems to maximize water clarity. Based upon the outdoor environment and use of the systems by animals, the filtration systems are designed to surpass the typical standards of a common public pool. Also included in the project are (2) interactive spray parks for young park visitors that include fountains and other features

MEB constructed this 245,000 SF middle school in Chesapeake, VA, that required extensive sitework on the 11 acre parcel including demolition of existing structures for construction of the athletic fields, parking and significant underground site utilities. This state-of-the-art facility contains a competition quality gymnasium with bleacher seating for 600, a wide variety of classrooms, labs and multi-purpose areas, administrative offices, large locker rooms, a professional full service kitchen and cafeteria, as well as outdoor recreational areas. Although not LEED certified, the construction incorporates numerous aspects of LEED NC sustainable practices, including rainwater harvesting with four (4) exterior underground 65,000 gallon tanks to collect building runoff for use on site. The interior layout includes light harvesting practices that bring natural light into internal areas of the building. Numerous other sustainability aspects were designed into the building systems such as motion sensor lighting controls that help meet energy goals. Constructed using a variety of structure types, the facility is built primarily of a concrete block and steel frame, a brick masonry exterior with both low slope and standing seam metal roofing. The existing middle school remained occupied during construction of the new school and tie-in to existing utilities was coordinated in and around the daily activities of the more than 1,000 students.

MEB was the Design-Builder for this 65,000 SF, Class A, 4-story, corporate headquarters facility for Blackhawk Products Group in Norfolk, VA. MEB and HBA Architects worked closely with the owner to develop a design that portrayed the unique image of its occupants while maintaining a strict budget and schedule. The project includes a gym with locker room, an employee café, a retail showroom as well as design features such as a sloped stone pier entry, a hand worked copper lobby wall and a forth floor exposed structure executive board room overlooking the airport and golf course. Acting as the Owner’s agent, MEB’s preconstruction team managed a complex approval process that involved private land owners, numerous attorneys, the US Navy, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the Bay Coast Railroad, Lake Wright Golf Course and many departments within the City of Norfolk. MEB’s estimating and project management team was involved in all phases of design from original conception to details, providing constant feedback on the budget while recommending design alternatives and constructability reviews. Significant utility challenges that threatened job progress were managed and overcome after construction had begun, including the late requirement of a pump station and installation of nearly one mile of direct bury force main under Lake Wright Golf Course, connecting to an HRSD line. Numerous early permits were obtained to accelerate the schedule and MEB took significant risk to assure progress while site plan approval was completed.

The facility also houses two pools - one for therapy and one for exercise. Several private “studios” are included adjacent to the gym area to provide classroom space for wellness and fitness programs. Other amenities at the facility include a grouping of conference/meeting rooms accessible from the main lobby to support “after-hours” access, as well as a covered drop-off canopy and vestibule at the main entry.

Ray’s Splash Planet- Charlotte, North Carolina

Ray’s Splash Planet is a significant addition to the County’s public park and greenway system. The major component of this project was the addition of a new 33,000 SF indoor recreation center with an indoor “attraction” pool as its focus. The project also incorporates an extensive 1.5 mile greenway trail system.

The building itself is carved from the site that supports it. Masses of rock were excavated to create a sense of erosion that reveal the smooth, more polished mass of the building. A story and a half curved glass wall runs the length of the building further creating the sense of water penetrating and eroding the massive volumes that crest the site. Smaller masses are created as the water continues to erode and break down the mass of the building and its site leaving the entry to the building at a human scale.

Project Characteristics

PART II PROJECT CHARACTERISTICS

a. Provide a description of the Project including the conceptual design. Describe the proposed Project in sufficient detail so that type and intent of the Project, the location, and the communities that may be affected are clearly identified.

Project Definition

The YMCA is proposing to partner with the City of Chesapeake to develop Greenbrier Park located adjacent to the Greenbrier Family Center located at 1033 Greenbrier Parkway. This project would construct a public facility which will benefit both the citizens and the regional population. It will feature an aquatic center, a senior center, spray park, office complex and leasable parcel for future use. The new construction will not only operate in conjunction with the existing YMCA of Greenbrier, but create a new identity for the complex, one which is more inviting.

The facility is prominently visible from Greenbrier Parkway. Activity from the spray park will purposely catch the attention of passers- by. Its main entrance takes advantage of an existing signalized entry point/curb cut and will fit in with the current traffic pattern.


The focal point of the site is a sweeping lobby and reception area paralleling the main road, with a cantilevered canopy marking the entrance. Both physical and visual access to the existing YMCA and proposed public facilities is maintained through this link. It will have curtain wall exterior closure with terrazzo flooring, and contain casual seating along the circulation path, giving users a pleasant place to wait or socialize with others while watching the kids in the spray park.

Spray Park

Entry Lobby


The main element of the master plan is a 27,000 sf natatorium featuring a 50-meter competition pool with a minimum depth of two meters as recommended by USA Swimming. There will be tiled locker rooms and stadium style poolside bleachers with spectator seating for 960 persons to view indoor events and the spray park beyond. With a construction budget of up to 1,000,000 funded by the YMCA, the spray park will cover 8500 sf of land and be made available to the public by a specific number of day passes (500 passes daily).

Connected to the aquatic center is 11,000 sf of space for a Senior Center including community rooms, concessions, offices and storage to serve the general community.


The exterior of both the Aquatic Center and Senior Center will be CMU bearing walls with brick and metal panel accents. Sloped standing seam metal roofing and pvc roofing over flat areas complete the exterior envelope to compliment the existing facilities.

Two office buildings with supporting parking are planned for the east side of the property, sited against the wooded backdrop of the Greenbrier Country Club’s golf course. The YMCA would construct up to a 17,000 sf office building that would house the relocated Corporate Offices of the YMCA of South Hampton Roads, currently based in Norfolk. The YMCA would build and lease a second 15,000 sf office building to the City’s Parks and Recreation Department.

A valuable parcel containing 3.6 acres on the north end of the property has been preserved for future development. It has excellent visibility and access from Greenbrier Parkway. The YMCA is working with the Field House in Virginia Beach to expand its operation to the City of Chesapeake by constructing an approximately 60,000 sf facility including four indoor competition athletic fields with parking per zoning.

Development Plan

Proposed Headquarters Building


Project Ownership

Our proposal calls for the new indoor pool and community center to be owned by the City of Chesapeake. The YMCA would retain ownership of the proposed Office Building and Spray Park. The proposed site would be subdivided or turned into a commercial condominium that would include the Aquatic/Community Center Unit, YMCA Spray Pool Unit, YMCA Office Unit and would have one or two remaining development opportunities in the event the Indoor Athletic Facility chose not to exercise the option to develop.

Operation of Project

The YMCA would be responsible for the management and operation of the Aquatic Center and work collaboratively with the City’s Tourism Department to attract regional swim competitions to increase weekend revenue for area hotels, restaurants, and retail establishments. Unlike the previous proposal, the YMCA’s plan is to maximize swim meet opportunities and would not be restricted by a membership base operation. The design of the facility promotes use of the aquatic center for weekend meets while operating the YMCA Family Center and use a regional parking strategy of public facilities where necessary. This would include the middle school across the street and City Park if necessary. The YMCA would use its existing fleet of buses where necessary to provide transportation to and from remote parking locations. The YMCA would provide all of the required operation funding in addition to the $300,000 annual facility management fee provided by the City. Ongoing maintenance to the facility and equipment would be the responsibility of the YMCA. Equipment replacement including pool pump, motors, pool dehumidification, HVAC equipment, roof replacement, main utilities feeding the facility, and major structural repairs would be the responsibility of the City.

Technology

The new indoor aquatic center will be equipped with a Colorado Scoring System, the industry’s finest timing and scoring system. Our proposal includes starting blocks, tough pads, professional sound system and scoreboard. The filtration system will be automated.

b. Location of the proposed site identified by tax map and parcel.

c. Identify and fully describe work to be performed by the City or any other private entity.

The City will perform work in the TIF district to include Greenbrier park- all other work described in the proposal will be completed by the project team.

d. Include a list of all federal, state and local permits and approval required for the Project and a schedule for obtaining such permits and approval.

A site plan will be submitted to the City of Chesapeake for review and approval. The City will review the plans for conformance to the City’s Zoning Ordinance and Public Facilities Manual, which includes regulations pertaining to the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act and state regulations governing erosion and sediment control. Before construction can begin, the contractor shall prepare a stormwater pollution prevention plan (SWPPP) and submit the Virginia Stormwater Management Permit (VSMP) to the Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR). A permit shall be obtained from the State Health Commissioner through the Virginia Department of Health before the pool can be construction. The Contractor will also acquire a right-of-way permit, building permit, and land disturbance permit from the City. Upon completion of the project, the Engineer will have to submit a site plan certification letter before a certification of occupancy will be issued.

Tax Map and parcel is included as required at the end of Part II.


The YMCA does not anticipate any adverse social, economic, and environmental impacts of the Project.

e. Identify any anticipated adverse social, economic, and environmental impacts of the Project. Specify the strategies or actions to mitigate such impacts of the Project.

The YMCA of South Hampton Roads has adopted a strategic plan that has the following Vision statement: “The Y is committed to strengthening the foundations of our community by significantly increasing the number of healthy families through nurturing the potential of every child and teen, improving the community’s health and well being, and giving back and providing support to our neighbors.”

The proposed aquatic center will be an additional “tool” available to the YMCA to impact youth. The YMCA’s goal is to expand leadership program opportunities and experiences for teenagers and provide a comprehensive network of youth sports and aquatic programs to teach children core values and strengthen self esteem and build self confidence.

The aquatic center will expand our efforts to build strong families by enhancing the healthy living goals of the Y. The highly regarded Y-change program motivates healthy living and life style adjustments for children and adults. In addition, this effort will expand opportunities for health seekers to engage in a more active and healthy lifestyle.

The social impact of the over-all community will promote healthy living among all populations in the city.

The YMCA’s proposal has reduced the projected construction and development of a 50-meter competition pool project by over $20,000,000 and reduced the annual operating commitment from the TIF by $2,000,000 per year than previously proposed. More importantly, the annual operating risk has been capped at $300,000 per year while still preserving and enhancing the economic development benefits of hosting sports team competitions. The YMCA’s investment in relocating its Corporate Offices and construction of a public access spray park further strengthen the economic development benefits of higher retail and restaurant use in the Greenbrier District.

Additionally, locating the proposed project in Greenbrier Park provides multiple cost effective benefits including:

The existing indoor and/or outdoor YMCA pools will be used during swim meets for athletes to warm up prior to scheduled heats, which is a critical facility requirement of all championship meets. The financial benefit of using existing facilities reduces the total project costs by over $2,500,000.

Management and operational expenses are significantly reduced by utilizing the existing YMCA management structure. This reduces operating expenses by hundreds of thousands of dollars annually by eliminating the need to hire an additional Center Director, Aquatic Director, and Property Manager. Hourly wages for service desk, lifeguards, and supervisory personnel are also reduced by operating in conjunction with an existing YMCA where the infrastructure exists.

Existing security systems, maintenance programs, and custodial services can easily be expanded providing the highest level of cost effectiveness.

The YMCA’s Open Doors Program provides financial assistance to those families and individuals who cannot afford to pay the full fee. Currently, 5,581 households receive $107,434 in monthly financial assistance to ensure everyone is welcome at a YMCA.

The existing Greenbrier Family YMCA already includes most of the features and facilities that were recommended in the previous proposal before City Council. Other than the new facilities included in our response to the RFP, the YMCA network of Family Centers can substantially meet the health, wellness, and recreational needs of the citizens of Chesapeake. By working together with the City to promote the YMCA’s financial assistance and guest pass programs, all of the City’s families and children can gain affordable access to the YMCA.

PERSPECTIVES



PERSPECTIVES


No “liquidated damages” are proposed for the project. The risk, liability and assurance for timely completion of the project will be the responsibility of the an effective and reliable team of professionals working together in a design/build environment. From a construction perspective, MEB General Contractors will be responsible for completing the project’s construction on time, and MEB will have every incentive to do so. As a local contractor in business since 1982, MEB has a history of on-time construction and their reputation relies on successful management of the project schedule. Equally important, the project’s profitability relies on timely completion

h. Proposed allocation of risk and liability for work completed beyond the Project completion date, and assurances for timely completion of the Project.

Our proposal calls for the new indoor pool and community center to be owned by the City of Chesapeake. The YMCA would retain ownership of the proposed Office Building and Spray Park. The proposed site would be subdivided or turned into a commercial condominium that would include the Aquatic/Community Center Unit, YMCA Spray Pool Unit, YMCA Office Unit and would have one or two remaining development opportunities with the viable opportunity of housing indoor competition fields.

The YMCA would be responsible for the management and operation of the Aquatic Center and work collaboratively with the City’s Tourism Department to attract regional swim competitions to increase weekend revenue for area hotels, restaurants, and retail establishments.

Management and operational expenses are significantly reduced by utilizing the existing YMCA management structure. This reduces operating expenses by hundreds of thousands of dollars annually by eliminating the need to hire an additional Center Director, Aquatic Director, and Property Manager. Hourly wages for service desk, lifeguards, and supervisory personnel are also reduced by operating in conjunction with an existing YMCA where the infrastructure exists.

Existing security systems, maintenance programs, and custodial services can easily be expanded providing the highest level of cost effectiveness.

i. State assumptions related to ownership, legal liability, law enforcement and operation of the Project and the existence of any restrictions on the City’s use of the Project.

The project is proposed as a single phase to be completed in its entirety prior to any occupancy or access by the public.

j. Provide information relative to phased or partial openings of the proposed Project prior to completion of the entire work.

Project Financing

PART III PROJECT FINANCING

a. Provide a preliminary estimate and describe the estimating methodology of the cost of the work by phase, segment or both.Estimated Cost

The estimated total project costs include:

1. Construction cost estimates provided by Mid Eastern Builders for the Aquatic/Community Center.

2. All associated site development costs

3. Construction cost estimates provided by Sussex Development for the Office Building and Spray Park

4. Design Development fees from Clark Nexsen and Woodard Design

5. Furnishing, fixtures, and equipment budget.

6. Construction management fees.

The total projected project is $15,000,000.

Impact on Debt and Debt Burden

The proposed project is estimated to cost the TIF up to $15,000,000 in new construction and site development costs that would have an estimated annual debt impact of $1,050,000 annually based on a 3.5% interest rate with a 20-year amortization schedule. Additionally, including the $300,000 annual operation assistance, the annual financial impact to the City would be $1,350,000 annually.

The estimated annual operating budget is attached. The annual operating deficit project for the aquatic center is expected to range between $175,000 and $250,000 annually. These costs will be underwritten by the YMCA.

b. Submit a plan for the development, financing, and operation of the Project showing the anticipated schedule on which funds will be required. Describe the anticipated costs of and proposed sources and uses for such funds.

Chesapeake Aquatic and Community CenterProjected Design/Construction Cashflow

PART III PROJECT FINANCING

The YMCA does not contemplate any local, state or federal resources other than those previously stated in this proposal.

e. Identify any local, state or federal resources that the proposer contemplates requesting for the Project. Describe the total commitment, if any, expected from governmental sources (and identify each source) and the timing of any anticipated commitment.

The YMCA does not anticipate any proposed risk factors or the posting of any required bonds for this Project.

d. Identify the proposed risk factors and methods for dealing with these factors, including the posting of any required bonds.

The YMCA uses a bank group to provide its project financing that includes Bank of America, Towne Bank, Sun Trust and BB&T. For an investment of this scope, the YMCA would use tax exempt bond financing based on the best business option to a RFP process amongst participating financial institutions.

f. Identify the amounts and the terms and conditions for any revenue sources, including any third parties that the proposer contemplates will provide financing for the Project, and describe the nature and timing of each such commitment.

At this time, we are unaware of any items that would disqualify the project from obtaining tax exempt financing.

g. Identify any aspect of the Project that could disqualify the Project from eligibility for tax-exempt financing.

The normal useful life of the proposed aquatic facility is 40 years. Based on the proposed terms of the operational plan, the City anticipated capital reinvestment during this cycle would include:

1. Pool motor and filter replacement: $150,000

2. Dehumidification equipment replacement: $800,000

There is no expected replacement or upgrades to site utilities or structural repairs.

c Include a list and discussion of assumptions underlying all major elements of the plan.

4Project Benefi t and Compatibility

PART IV PROJECT BENEFIT AND COMPATABILITY

The YMCA’s proposal has reduced the projected construction and development of a 50-meter competition pool project by over $20,000,000 and reduced the annual operating commitment from the TIF by $2,000,000 per year than originally proposed. More importantly, the annual operating risk has been capped at $300,000 per year while still preserving and enhancing the economic development benefits of hosting sports team competitions. The YMCA’s investment in relocating its Corporate Offices and construction of a public access spray park further strengthen the economic development benefits of higher retail and restaurant use in the Greenbrier District.

Additionally, locating the proposed project in Greenbrier Park provides multiple cost effective benefits including:

1. The existing indoor and/or outdoor YMCA pools will be used during swim meets for athletes to warm up prior to scheduled heats, which is a critical facility requirement of all championship meets. The financial benefit of using existing facilities reduces the total project costs by over $2,500,000.

2. Management and operational expenses are significantly reduced by utilizing the existing YMCA management structure. This reduces operating expenses by hundreds of thousands of dollars annually by eliminating the need to hire an additional Center Director, Aquatic Director, and Property Manager. Hourly wages for service desk, lifeguards, and supervisory personnel are also reduced by operating in conjunction with an existing YMCA where the infrastructure exists.

3. Existing security systems, maintenance programs, and custodial services can easily be expanded providing the highest level of cost effectiveness.

a. Describe the anticipated benefits to the community, region, or state, including anticipated benefits to the economic condition of the City and identify who will benefit from the Project and how they will benefit.

The proposal addresses many of the comments raised in both support and opposition during the extensive public comment period of the originally proposed project. These include:

1. Preserving the 50 meter competition pool.

2. The economic development benefits of athletic competition have been enhanced since the project design will not restrict the potential number of meets.

3. Public access has been preserved.

4. Reducing the proposed construction cost by over $20,000,000.

5. Reducing the annual TIF contribution by $2,000,000 per year.

6. Mitigating the annual operating risk by capping the annual commitment at $300,000 per year.

7. Preservation of City Park as an open space venue for concerts and other community events.

8. Offices for the Parks and Recreation Department that were omitted in the original proposal have been addressed.

9. Additional community space and a senior citizen activities area have been addressed.

10. Relocation of the YMCA’s Corporate Office will enhance the economic development benefits of the project.

b. Identify any anticipated public support or opposition as well as any anticipated government support or opposition, for the Project support .

PART IV PROJECT BENEFIT AND COMPATABILITY

The project development team will work collaboratively with the City’s staff in the final project design and specifications. Throughout the development of the project, public information meetings will be held with the public as necessary and the YMCA will meet regularly with businesses located in the Greenbrier TIF to keep them informed of plans and progress. The YMCA will develop and maintain current information on its website to keep all interested citizens informed of current plans and schedule.

c. Explain the strategy and plans that will be carried out to involve and inform the general public, business community, and governmental agencies in areas affected by the Project.

All recreational facilities add quality of life benefits to local communities. The addition of a 50 meter pool facility to the City will add a unique benefit to the City’s array of recreational activities.

d. Explain whether the Project is likely to attract or maintain industries and businesses to the City or the surrounding region and, if so, explain how.

The proposed Aquatic Center is unique and will not be in conflict with any existing facility. The YMCA’s proposal will also not compete with established health and fitness facilities as would have occurred in the original proposal.

e. Explain whether the Project is compatible with the City’s comprehensive plan, infrastructure development plans, capital improvements budget, or other government spending plan and, if so, explain how.

Other Factors/Appendices

PART V OTHER FACTORS

Please refer to Part III section a for the proposed cost of this project.

a. The proposed cost of the qualifying Project.

The YMCA of South Hampton Roads is the 20th largest YMCA in North America with an annual operating budget exceeding $45.0 million serving over 200,000 citizens within our region. As of April 2011, the YMCA membership served 35,409 households in our service area. The active membership within the YMCA is 101,557 people.

Over the course of the past 125 years in South Hampton Roads, the Y has grown and evolved, but one thing has remained constant: our mission. It is our reason for being a YMCA, and it is a driving force behind our cause of strengthening the foundation of community through youth development, healthy living and social responsibility.

The lead editorial in The Virginian-Pilot on January 27, 2011 stated “For more than 125 years the YMCA has filled a critical role in South Hampton Roads, helping children and adults alike to stay fit, have fun and live well.

It also has been a substantial contributor to the local economy. The nonprofit has an annual payroll of $22 million and 2,300 employees at facilities stretching from the Outer Banks to the Eastern Shore. It boasts the ninth-largest Y membership.

The Y has long been known for its dedication to our communities, including its willingness to subsidize memberships for the needy. That cost the organization $5.7 million in South Hampton Roads last year alone.

The YMCA of South Hampton Roads has adopted a strategic plan that has the following Vision statement: “The Y is committed to strengthening the foundations of our community by significantly increasing the number of healthy families through nurturing the potential of every child and teen, improving the community’s health and well being, and giving back and providing support to our neighbors.”

The proposed aquatic center will be an additional “tool” available to the YMCA to impact youth. The YMCA’s goal is to expand leadership program opportunities and experiences for teenagers and provide a comprehensive network of youth sports and aquatic programs to teach children core values and strengthen self esteem and build self confidence.

The aquatic center will expand our efforts to build strong families by enhancing the healthy living goals of the Y. The highly regarded Y-change program motivates healthy living and life style adjustments for children and adults. In addition, this effort will expand opportunities for health seekers to engage in a more active and healthy lifestyle.

The social impact of the over-all community will promote healthy living among all populations in the city. The 50 meter pool will add a unique feature for aquatic training by encouraging a higher level of competition.

The dedicated Senior Center will provide recreational, educational and wellness activities for seniors helping them engage, enrich and empower their lives.

f. Benefits to the public.

The YMCA of South Hampton Roads is committed to an inclusion and diversity model in all aspects of its business and operations.

The Y makes accessible the support and opportunities that empower people of all ages and backgrounds to reach their personal potential and life to the fullest. To fully realize our mission and cause, we ensure that people feel welcome as participants, members, staff and volunteers.
