Recreation Area. The assessment will include the review of the existing facility's
condition and space to assist with determining space requirements, comparison
analysis of shelter and dog park facilities to other similarly sized cities, and
recommendations for how to best achieve the goals determined by the needs
assessment.
Deliverables will include development of program requirements, development of room
data sheets for the use of each identifiable space and equipment needs, conceptual
design options for the project including site plan, floor plans, building elevations, and
renderings depicting the proposed concept, and project budget showing entire project
cost.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The City has identified an approximately 4.261 acre vacant tract of land bounded by
19th St.,Charleston Ave.,the Kansas City Southern Railroad,and Jefferson County
property to consider a new animal shelter. PGAL has visited the site with City staff to
familiarize ourselves with the project.
The existing animal shelter has outlived its useful Life,and the city has outgrown the
building. It is not feasible to renovate,expand or re-use the existing facility. The
proposed project site is one contiguous piece of property and has been platted. The
process we will go through for this project will determine the optimal size of the new
animal shelter,but it is anticipated that the building,associated parking,and related
outdoor spaces will not require the use of the entire site. The remainder of the site

ousrcN assessment phase of the City of Port Arthur Animal Shelter&Recreation Area Needs
LAS VEGAS
LOS ANGELES Assessment. This will include review of existing building conditions and spaces,

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The City has identified an approximately 4.261 acre vacant tract of land bounded by
19th St.,Charleston Ave.,the Kansas City Southern Railroad,and Jefferson County
property to consider a new animal shelter. PGAL has visited the site with City staff to
familiarize ourselves with the project.
The existing animal shelter has outlived its useful life,and the city has outgrown the
building. It is not feasible to renovate,expand or re-use the existing facility. The
proposed project site is one contiguous piece of property and has been platted. The
process we will go through for this project will determine the optimal size of the new
animal shelter,but it is anticipated that the building,associated parking,and related
outdoor spaces will not require the use of the entire site, The remainder of the site
