Services

Greening Projects is unique in that we provide support from the earliest conceptual stages, in other words at the time a community leader or group identifies an opportunity to create a green and sustainable space, and continue our support until the project is finalized. We can provide this assistance because we have the technical, design, managerial and permit processing expertise within our agency.

Feasibility Analyses: all greening projects start with someone’s vision of what the outcome might look like. Therefore, we assess that vision and determine what is required to make it a reality. This process includes:

a technical/engineering analysis for constructability
recommending funding options
preparing a project plan, as needed
Our feasibility analyses will also provide the information required for grant application submittals.

Grant Preparation: our staff has extensive experience in proposal and grant application preparation. Therefore, we can prepare the grant on your behalf and/or provide as much support as you need to prepare the grant package. Our expertise is invaluable in developing:

Scope of the project (narrative), including engineering design description and sketches if needed
Project Budget
Project Schedule
Maintenance plan
Permitting process

Consulting: once the project is green lit, we will provide ongoing support in the following areas in order to select and hire the appropriate professionals. Our consulting services include the following technical, design, and procedural areas:

Topographic analysis of the site
Civil engineering
Landscape design
Public agency permitting (Department of Public Works, Planning, etc.)
Construction Administration

Project Management: in addition to assisting and/or preparing a project plan to achieve project success, we can also provide assistance in the following managerial tasks:

Scope, budget and schedule monitoring and control
Resource Management
Risk analysis and management
Stakeholder engagement and expectations management
Procurement management

Education: because we are passionate about our work, we want to expand our outreach, as well as help train current and future greening project stewards. To that end, we have developed a comprehensive training program related to “greening projects,” which includes the following:

How to identify potential greening sites, including their feasibility from a design and financial standpoint, as well as their constructability
Grant preparation
Project management for greening projects
Permitting process with respect to local, state and federal guidelines
