Collateral Development/Graphic Design AA staff has extensive experience with Adobe Creative Suites software as well as general design standards allowing us to quickly and efficiently develop a set of informational and collateral materials designed to support projects in all phases. These materials will be designed for use in briefings, community meetings, events, presentations, etc. Translation Part of our outreach approach is to ensure access to opportunities for stakeholders at all levels. This includes proactively identifying and addressing the language needs of a community. Social Media Content Development and Administration • • AA understands how important messaging through social media is and how coordinated campaigns can exponentially elevate public awareness and engagement for transportation, planning and infrastructure projects. Supported by AA's Innovations Team, our project manager will develop a fully integrated social media campaign that can take advantage of Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Nextdoor, Blogs, podcasts, RSS feeds and a myriad of others as needed. Our staff can distill complex project information into consumable posts as well as create "call-to-action" posts that drive users to a project website or survey. Our team will identify key demographics and will create unique social media ad copy and graphics for each specific platform utilized. Public Workshops, Pop-ups, and Neighborhood Meetings • The AA Team has successfully executed hundreds of public workshops, pop-ups and neighborhood meetings throughout Southern California. Our approach to these public engagement opportunities focuses on creating a positive experience that maximizes engagement while minimizing cost. Our meetings and events feature the latest in technology to share information with the public and secure meaningful input. One-On-One Briefings Elected official Briefings are proactive ways to keep elected offices at all levels informed and engaged with the project status. One-on-one or group briefings are especially important in advance of key milestones and prior to engaging the general public. AA will collaborate with the project team to support this effort.The briefings will provide study highlights, updates and public engagement strategies. Stakeholder briefings are another key element of the planning strategies. The AA Team will work with city staff, property owners, businesses, and other interested stakeholders who would benefit from one-on- one briefings. These briefings serve to not only inform but gain valuable feedback from key stakeholders. AA will prepare a list of key stakeholders for each project. Public Input Documentation The AA Team understands the importance of properly documenting public input on all projects and sharing the feedback with the technical team. Public input will be collected from a variety of sources including the project website, designated email, designated phone line, via traditional mail, from stakeholder briefings, and community meetings. AA will develop a public input matrix in Smartsheet to organize scheduled, pending and completed meeting/briefings/input as well as logistics and documentation of these inputs. This matrix will help document and track issues, perceptions, concerns and feelings about the projects/services. AA will also prepare summary reports following stakeholder briefings, community meetings and all survey efforts. Final Reporting Preparation AA will prepare final reports for all outreach efforts conducted. The final reports will serve as a record of all public involvement activities conducted and will summarize community input. AA will attach all deliverables as part of the appendix including but not limited to the project database, mailing/door-to- door distribution maps, meeting notices, meeting materials, presentations, sign-in sheets or meeting • • participant reports, meeting summaries, social and digital advertisements, surveys, survey translations, • survey response, and survey reports. • Addressing Today's Health Challenges-COVID-19 • The AA Team is ready to collaborate with the technical team to determine the most appropriate format • for these traditionally in-person public engagement opportunities, especially given today's health • concerns and social distancing guidelines. AA is well versed in digital tools designed to engage, inform and • solicit community feedback. Using our toolbox of virtual outreach methods, AA can address these health • concerns and government regulations regarding in-person interactions. AA has highly qualified staff with • a track record of successfully conducting online outreach programs and hosting live online meetings as • well as virtual workshops with no in-person audience. Other Enhancements and Innovative Tools • Since its formation, AA has focused on researching and utilizing the latest communication tools and services to maximize stakeholder engagement and add value to projects, with a focus on innovation and • technology. The use of technology in our outreach programs is an essential, cost-effective, and a fun way • to engage a wide-range of stakeholders. To that end, we have assembled a designated department of specialists, the AA Innovations Team, dedicated to serve as creative and technology experts for all projects and clients. The innovations team consists of three branches: ✓ Creative Graphics &Video ✓ Social Media Programs ✓ Technology Tools This team works to bring AA's technology toolbox to life on projects, which includes the use of creative ' and visual design software, video and audio tools, webcast, webinars, virtual meetings, digital interactive mapping, survey and polling platforms, online comment forums, digital notification and awareness, social media programs and demographic engagement targeting. In addition to this in-house toolbox, the AA Innovations Team has the ability to understand and implement other new and emerging digital platforms and technologies that clients and teaming partners bring to us. Our diligence in exploring and implementing emerging technologies and innovative solutions has positioned AA as an industry leader in digital outreach and engagement and has allowed public engagement to be amplified and an exponential growth in the number of stakeholders that are now able to actively participate in projects. 4111' 0111 4111 411 +III► IIID 411) 4111 1111 ilii 4111 411 APPENDIX 411 I Team Subconsultants: 411 4a G CAP Services 411 GICAP Q SERVICES II II II II II II II II q II 1 I I 4 I I 1 • • • GICAP • SERVICES • • GICAP Sylvia Linn • SERVICES • Background Ms. Linn has extensive experience in labor compliance monitoring, • analysis,audits,and implementation of compliance-related processes for • public sector agencies.She possesses an in-depth, practical knowledge of • - i • the regulatory environment, assessment of operational risks and t developing risk mitigation procedures.
