Line 61: − ===Small-scale projects=== − Starting with small-scale projects is a good strategy to − increase public interest in LID practices, gauge municipal − support, and gain retrofit experience. Small-scale projects − include retrofitting your site with landscape alternatives or rain − barrels, enhancements of existing swales, or using pollution − prevention strategies and practices. − Small-scale projects require fewer resources and require a − smaller project budget because: − * They do not require integration into capital works projects − * Engineering consultants are not required − * Contractors may not be required − * External approvals are not required − * Consultation with the public is limited − Due to this smaller financial commitment, it can be easier − to build colleague and supervisor support for small-scale − projects. − − [[Pollution prevention|Pollution prevention (P2)]] projects are great − small-scale projects for municipal facilities − like public works yards. To learn more about − implementing P2 on your site, '''refer to the case studies on Armstrong Manufacturing Inc, Bernardi Building Supply Ltd. and Unifay-Fedar Investments in Appendix B.''' − − Many P2 techniques and strategies do not require − construction, consultants or contractors. Adding signage to a − site is a simple and easy to implement pollution prevention at − municipal facilities. − − A successful small-scale LID retrofit project on your municipal − site is a good indication that you are ready to take on a more − intensive retrofit project. You now know the resources that are − available and understand the internal municipal processes − required to move a LID project from planning to finished − product. − ===Large-scale projects=== Line 157:
Line 122: − − ===Involvement of consultants and contractors=== − Consultants are required for large-scale retrofit projects, − specifically for the final screening of options, pre-design, − detailed design, tender and contract documents, construction − supervision and administration, and assumption and − verification. − − Site contractors are also required for large-scale LID retrofits. − Ideally, contractors should be pre-qualified based on previous − experience with similar LID projects. − Remember, the contractor with the lowest bid − does not necessarily deliver the best product. − − ===More intensive public consultation=== − − Stakeholders must be closely involved in the retrofit process − for large-scale LID projects. These projects have longer − construction windows, may have significant impacts on long-term − public use patterns of the site, and will cost significantly − more taxpayer dollars. − − Gaining public insight in advance of LID implementation can − help address public concerns and information gaps, as well as identify public supporters and champions. Public consultation − can help designers tailor the project to address community − concerns and values. Consultation can also help the design − team integrate the LID practice into the site’s landscape. − − ===External approvals=== − − Large-scale retrofits may require a variety of approvals at the − municipal, watershed, provincial, and/or federal level. − Since LID is still relatively new, you may encounter policies − or bylaws that present barriers to LID retrofit projects. − Alternatively, the municipality may have to amend or enforce − some policies and bylaws to facilitate the implementation of − LID projects on your site.
