Additional and supplemental services specific to Redwood City wiH provide a brasis for a citywide child care facilities plan, recommended in the General Plan,and identify and assess potential future sites. 1. Prepare citywide suppiy and demand analysis: Analysis will include supply and demand for children birth through school-age (0-13 years) and will conside�both child care center and family child care home supply. (The countywide study will focus on 0-5 year olds and child ca�e centers on1y.)

Create database of potential sites:The countywide study will include suroeys and other research to determine where there are buildings,commercial space, or land that could be used to develop new child care facilities. Work in Redwood City will be more in-depth including contacting land owners to discuss potential interest in using site(s) as a child care center if the City were to partner with owner and/or developer. 5. Identify formal Candidate Expansion Sites for further consideration. Candidate sites include existing centers that are willing to expand spaces to accommodate more children,existing buildings that can be repurposed as child care centers, and/or new development projects where new child care centers may be possible. 6. Physical Site Assessments:Conduct site visits of four(4)candidate sites in Redwood City,in addition to the seven sites to be assessed countywide. Provide analysis and assessment of development potential. 7. Estimate Costs: Prepare Planning Level Cast Estimates for four (4) sites based on average construction cost factors, soft cost assumptians, etc. and adequate cantingencies for both indoor and outdoor space. 8. Identify potential funding mechanisms. The County effort will include the development of a "financing strategy" which includes evaluation of all possible funding options.
