Discovery STEM proposal

Implementation costs and funding
Selecting an operating alternative requires a complete implementation comparison in addition to the
initial review allowance. Unknown prices must remain unpriced; they are not zero and cannot be
covered by an unspecified saving. Historical sign-work charges do not price a present-day route
change.
Cost class
Items to identify and price
One-time campus work
Survey and final design, loading and walking changes, accessible work,
parking displacement, temporary setup and staff training.
One-time public-road work
Approved signs, markings, crossings or traffic-calming treatments,
installation, permits and associated review.
Recurring operation
Assigned supervision and backup, incremental paid time, enforcement
commitments, device operation and maintenance.
Transition and monitoring
Extra launch coverage, extended observations, family communication,
incident review and required follow-up.
Offset or existing resource
Verified existing funded scope or expense that actually ends; no automatic
credit for redeployment.
Decision cost sheet
For every retained option, show year-one cost, continuing annual cost and cost over an agreed
planning horizon. Use the same price date and treatment of labor, benefits, procurement, reserve and
maintenance. Show the existing service baseline, gross resource cost, documented credits,
incremental cash requirement and items still unpriced.
Funding and capital approval
NNPS and city finance should confirm the appropriate account, available appropriation, delegated
approval and procurement route for each action. The supplied FY2027-FY2031 adopted city CIP
describes feasibility/planning followed by detailed design and a construction-funding decision. That
supports staged development where applicable; it does not establish Discovery eligibility or reserve
funds for this work. [P05, PDF p. 9]
The supplied city line-item files contain Chestnut Avenue streetscape entries. Their relationship to
Discovery traffic safety has not been established and is not assumed to be a funding source.
Recommended FY2027 budgets and a draft ordinance are not proof of adopted or available money.
The broader project money tracker supplies no verified appropriation for this proposal. [P01, P03,
