EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Background
Our team, led by The YMCA of South Hampton Roads, is pleased to present to the City of Chesapeake this
conceptual PPEA proposal for the design, construction and operation of a public recreation facility with a
competition swimming pool. We propose to construct the project adjacent to the existing Greenbrier YMCA.
By building on the City owned Greenbrier Sports Park, our development benefits from numerous synergies
and economies associated with the proximity and connection to an existing, complimentary facility. The Y is a
national and regional leader in the development and operation of pool facilities, and as a charitable not for profit
organization, it’s the ideal partner for the City of Chesapeake. Currently operating 14 fully equipped family centers in
Southside Hampton Roads, along with many other facilities, camps and programs, The Y has unparalleled experience
in the development and management of family recreation facilities and the ability to serve Chesapeake’s residents
with a commitment to quality service and fiscal responsibility.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Team
The YMCA of South Hampton Roads
The YMCA of South Hampton Roads is the 20th largest YMCA in North America with an annual operating budget
exceeding $45.0 million serving over 200,000 citizens within our region. As of April 2011, the YMCA membership served
35,409 households in our service area. The active membership within the YMCA is 101,557 people.
Over the course of the past 125 years in Hampton Roads, the Y has grown and evolved, but one thing has remained
constant: our mission. It is our reason for being a YMCA, and it is a driving force behind our cause of strengthening the
foundation of community through youth development, healthy living and social responsibility.
The lead editorial in The Virginian-Pilot on January 27, 2011 stated “For more than 125 years the YMCA has filled a critical
role in South Hampton Roads, helping children and adults alike to stay fit, have fun and live well.
It also has been a substantial contributor to the local economy. The nonprofit has an annual payroll of $22 million
and 2,300 employees at facilities stretching from the Outer Banks to the Eastern Shore. It boasts the ninth-largest Y
membership.
The Y has long been known for its dedication to our communities, including its willingness to subsidize memberships for
the needy. The cost to the organization was $5.7 million in last year alone.
The YMCA of South Hampton Roads is governed by a Board of Directors of leading community citizens who are
dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for all our citizens. The management of the YMCA has established a track
record of community impact and financial accountability that is highly regarded within our community.”
MEB General Contractors
MEB will provide general contracting services for this project. Established in 1982, MEB enjoys a nearly 30 year history of
successfully completing work throughout the Hampton Roads region. Headquartered in Chesapeake, Virginia, MEB is
proud to have been recognized in 2002 by the Chesapeake Industrial Development Authority as “Business of the Year”
for outstanding service to the City of Chesapeake. With revenues exceeding $190 million, MEB was ranked among the
“Top 300” largest contractors in the United States by Engineering News Record (ENR) magazine in 2009 and 2010. As
well, Virginia Business magazine has recently ranked MEB as the 9th largest contractor in Virginia and the 2nd largest
based in Hampton Roads. Their portfolio is diverse and includes a wide variety of award winning projects completed
throughout the region. Included in this portfolio is the only indoor, Olympic size, competition pool in Hampton Roads,
the Brittingham-Midtown Recreation Community Center in Newport News. They have constructed numerous other
indoor and outdoor pools and their portfolio includes other specialized experience in a range of project types that involve
complex water piping, storage and filtration, including two recent projects at the Virginia Zoo in Norfolk with large water
park features.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
design, and construction administration. Our in-house engineering services include civil, environmental, transportation and traffic,
mechanical, electrical, plumbing, structural, and fire protection design. This full-service, in-house capability increases our ability to
respond to client schedule and service needs while allowing increased quality control.
Scope
A proposed development on approximately 12.3 acres to include an approximately 50,000 SF natatorium and multipurpose senior/family center connected to the existing Greenbrier Y with an outdoor water spray park and a 30,000 SF
office complex.
Natatorium
The proposed natatorium will house an 8 lane, 50 m x 25 yd competition swimming pool with a consistent 2 m depth
and spectator capacity of nearly 1000. Supporting the pool will be locker rooms, offices, storage and mechanical
rooms. A connection to the existing Y facility will provide significant benefits including use of the existing pool for
competition warm up, increased staffing and management efficiency, and access to amenities for visitors and parents
during events and practices.
Multi-Purpose Senior & Family Center
Proposed in association with the natatorium structure and includes flexible spaces available for public use for a variety
of community activities and gatherings. Dedicated space for senior citizens will better position the City to meet the
unique needs of this important and growing segment of our population.
Spray Park*
An outdoor, interactive and dynamic water park feature that would be accessible through either a daily guest pass or Y
membership, located adjacent to the existing Greenbrier Y outdoor pool facilities.
Office Building*
The proposed 17,000 to 32,000 SF Class B office facility would house the new headquarters for the YMCA of South
Hampton Roads. Space would be available for lease to the City of Chesapeake Parks and Recreation Department.
The YMCA is working with representatives of the Field House Facility in Virginia Beach, an indoor athletic field
competition facility. The proposed site plan provides for the future development of such a facility that would add a
major new feature to the City of Chesapeake. In the event the development is not feasible to build, the proposed
site plan would support up to 60,000 square feet in new construction that could serve future economic development
opportunities for the City of Chesapeake.
* Construction of the Spray Park and Office Building would be financed by the YMCA.
Project Costs and Investment
The estimated project costs funded by the City for design and construction of the 50,000 Aquatic and Community
Center are $15,000,000. This includes all projected site development work, design fees, engineering, furnishings,
fixtures, and equipment.
The estimated project costs funded by the YMCA for design and construction of the Spray Park and 32,000 SF Office
Building are $5,800,000.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The YMCA Team Advantages
»
The YMCA of South Hampton Roads possesses unmatched experience in the development and operations of
community recreation and pool facilities.
»
The project’s proposed location adjacent to the existing Greenbrier Y facilities significantly reduces initial
development costs.
»
The projects proposed connection to the existing Greenbrier Y facilities reduces operating, staff and management
expenses.
»
The project includes a privately financed spray park, accessible to the public.
»
A local team with a history of commitment to the City of Chesapeake.
»
The YMCA has a strong established membership base of Chesapeake residents currently serving 36,177 members
who live in the City.
»
The YMCA’s Open Doors Program provides financial assistance to those families and individuals who cannot afford
to pay the full fee. Currently, 5,581 Hampton Roads households receive $107,434 in monthly financial assistance to
insure everyone is welcome at a YMCA.
»
The existing Greenbrier Family YMCA already includes most of the features and facilities that were recommended
in the previous proposal before City Council. Other than the new facilities included in our response to the RFP, the
YMCA network of Family Centers can substantially meet the health, wellness, and recreational needs of the citizens
of Chesapeake. By working together with the City to promote the YMCA’s financial assistance and guest pass
programs, all of the City’s families and children can gain affordable access to the YMCA.
»
Programs and services offered at the Aquatic Center, Senior Center, and Outdoor Spray Park do not require YMCA
membership. .

December 2011 and includes a 55,000 square foot YMCA family center; a 10,000 square
foot County operated Senior Center, Park and Recreation offices and new a 8,000
square foot county operated gymnasium. Currituck County is providing the funding
for the entire project. The County and the Y put into place a thirty year operating
agreement that has an unlimited number of ten year renewal options. In 2003, the YMCA
completed construction on a 60,000 square foot facility with the College of Albemarle.
The building, built on the College campus, includes a 40,000 square foot YMCA family
center and the College’s 20,000 square foot School of Nursing at the College of the
Albemarle. The YMCA provided the funding for its share of the facility and pro-rata
share of the site development costs. Both North Carolina projects were design-build
projects managed by the YMCA and its development team and received exemption by
the North Carolina Legislature from the public procurement act. Additionally, the YMCA

OCEAN BEACH CLUB TOWER, PHASE II
VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA
MEB General Contractors provided negotiated general contracting services
on this twenty story, 127,000 SF, reinforced concrete tower in Virginia Beach.
The highly visible project along the beach’s resort strip includes both indoor
and outdoor pools with a variety of water features. As construction began, the
owner directed nearly complete redesigns for the entire ground floor, including
a significantly larger pool, redesigned penthouse units and ADA revisions,
and MEB managed the process to have minimal impact on the budget and no
impact on the schedule. The complex project is a twin addition to Phase 1,
which is similar in size and scope and was fully occupied during the entirety
of the construction process. The sensitivity to construction activity included
not only the connection to the existing building, but also significant work on
the ground level, both inside and outside. Renovations to the existing facility
included a redo of the existing Tortuga’s Restaurant kitchen while operational,
work in existing units on occupied floors and the addition of new elevators in
the existing building core. This resort facility is highly dependant on satisfied
customers, and it was critical that MEB not disrupt the activities of the guests,
either in the existing tower or on the ground floor amenities such as the lobby,
pools, restaurants and bars. Construction operations were maintained in a
densely developed section of the oceanfront, with minimal construction lay
down and storage areas available. The oceanfront high rise is enclosed in a glass
curtainwall system and comprised of one, two and three bedroom apartments, as
well as luxury duplex penthouse suites. The poured in place concrete structural
is built on a pile foundation. The project includes both indoor and outdoor pool
with fountains and spray park features. Both indoor and outdoor pools use a
common disinfection and filtration system and the indoor pool makes use of
a state-of-the-art dehumidification system.

THE VIRGINIA ZOO - TRAIL OF THE TIGER EXHIBIT
NORFOLK, VIRGINIA
This 10 acre outdoor exhibit included complex earthwork, underground utility,
and other specialized sitework construction. Underground construction of two
concrete pile supported artificial rockwork moats included mass excavation,
sheet piling and well point dewatering. Site construction also included earthen
walkways, concrete pavement and sidewalks, perimeter fencing, manual and
electrical gates for active and passive barriers, irrigation systems, wooden
boardwalks, significant landscaping, as well as the routing, extending and new
installation of all utilities including stormwater, water, and sanitary sewer. MEB
General Contractors maintains the required equipment and site crews to self
perform these critical sitework activities. Buildings were constructed on concrete
masonry, structural steel and suspended slabs. The various facilities include
administrative offices, animal housing, labs, and public exhibits. Specialized
interior construction included caging systems, specialty hardware, special
coatings, complex HVAC and electrical systems, and extensive site lighting.
Included in the project are (3) natural environment swimming ponds treated
with both chlorine and U/V disinfection systems to maximize water clarity.
Based upon the outdoor environment and use of the systems by animals, the
filtration systems are designed to surpass the typical standards of a common
public pool. Also included in the project are (2) interactive spray parks for
young park visitors that include fountains and other features

OSCAR SMITH MIDDLE SCHOOL
CHESAPEAKE, VIRGINIA
MEB constructed this 245,000 SF middle school in Chesapeake, VA, that
required extensive sitework on the 11 acre parcel including demolition of
existing structures for construction of the athletic fields, parking and significant
underground site utilities. This state-of-the-art facility contains a competition
quality gymnasium with bleacher seating for 600, a wide variety of classrooms,
labs and multi-purpose areas, administrative offices, large locker rooms, a
professional full service kitchen and cafeteria, as well as outdoor recreational
areas. Although not LEED certified, the construction incorporates numerous
aspects of LEED NC sustainable practices, including rainwater harvesting with
four (4) exterior underground 65,000 gallon tanks to collect building runoff
for use on site. The interior layout includes light harvesting practices that bring
natural light into internal areas of the building. Numerous other sustainability
aspects were designed into the building systems such as motion sensor lighting
controls that help meet energy goals. Constructed using a variety of structure
types, the facility is built primarily of a concrete block and steel frame, a brick
masonry exterior with both low slope and standing seam metal roofing. The
existing middle school remained occupied during construction of the new
school and tie-in to existing utilities was coordinated in and around the daily
activities of the more than 1,000 students.

and schedule. The project includes a gym with locker room, an employee café,
a retail showroom as well as design features such as a sloped stone pier entry,
a hand worked copper lobby wall and a forth floor exposed structure executive
board room overlooking the airport and golf course. Acting as the Owner’s
agent, MEB’s preconstruction team managed a complex approval process that
involved private land owners, numerous attorneys, the US Navy, the Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA), the Bay Coast Railroad, Lake Wright Golf
Course and many departments within the City of Norfolk. MEB’s estimating
and project management team was involved in all phases of design from
original conception to details, providing constant feedback on the budget while
recommending design alternatives and constructability reviews. Significant
utility challenges that threatened job progress were managed and overcome after
construction had begun, including the late requirement of a pump station and
installation of nearly one mile of direct bury force main under Lake Wright Golf
Course, connecting to an HRSD line. Numerous early permits were obtained to
accelerate the schedule and MEB took significant risk to assure progress while
site plan approval was completed.

Mecklenburg County
Parks and Recreation
Ray’s Splash Planet is a significant addition to the County’s public park and greenway
system. The major component of this project was the addition of a new 33,000 SF
indoor recreation center with an indoor “attraction” pool as its focus. The project also
incorporates an extensive 1.5 mile greenway trail system.
The building itself is carved from the site that supports it. Masses of rock were
excavated to create a sense of erosion that reveal the smooth, more polished mass of
the building. A story and a half curved glass wall runs the length of the building further
creating the sense of water penetrating and eroding the massive volumes that crest the
site. Smaller masses are created as the water continues to erode and break down the
mass of the building and its site leaving the entry to the building at a human scale.

Project Characteristics
PART II
PROJECT CHARACTERISTICS
a. Provide a description of the Project including the conceptual design. Describe the
proposed Project in sufficient detail so that type and intent of the Project, the location, and
the communities that may be affected are clearly identified.
Project Definition
The YMCA is proposing to partner with the
City of Chesapeake to develop Greenbrier Park
located adjacent to the Greenbrier Family Center
located at 1033 Greenbrier Parkway. This project
would construct a public facility which will benefit
both the citizens and the regional population.
It will feature an aquatic center, a senior center,
spray park, office complex and leasable parcel
for future use. The new construction will not only
operate in conjunction with the existing YMCA
of Greenbrier, but create a new identity for the
complex, one which is more inviting.
The facility is prominently visible from Greenbrier
Parkway. Activity from the spray park will
purposely catch the attention of passers- by. Its
main entrance takes advantage of an existing
signalized entry point/curb cut and will fit in with
the current traffic pattern.
PART II
The focal point of the site is a sweeping lobby and reception area paralleling the main road, with a
cantilevered canopy marking the entrance. Both physical and visual access to the existing YMCA and
proposed public facilities is maintained through this link. It will have curtain wall exterior closure with
terrazzo flooring, and contain casual seating along the circulation path, giving users a pleasant place
to wait or socialize with others while watching the kids in the spray park.
Spray Park
Entry Lobby
PART II
The main element of the master plan is a 27,000 sf natatorium featuring a 50-meter competition pool with a minimum
depth of two meters as recommended by USA Swimming. There will be tiled locker rooms and stadium style
poolside bleachers with spectator seating for 960 persons to view indoor events and the spray park beyond. With a
construction budget of up to 1,000,000 funded by the YMCA, the spray park will cover 8500 sf of land and be made
available to the public by a specific number of day passes (500 passes daily).
Connected to the aquatic center is 11,000 sf of space for a Senior Center including community rooms,
concessions, offices and storage to serve the general community.
PART II
The exterior of both the Aquatic Center and Senior Center will be CMU bearing walls with brick and metal panel
accents. Sloped standing seam metal roofing and pvc roofing over flat areas complete the exterior envelope to
compliment the existing facilities.

backdrop of the Greenbrier Country Club’s golf course. The YMCA would construct up to a 17,000 sf office building that
would house the relocated Corporate Offices of the YMCA of South Hampton Roads, currently based in Norfolk. The
YMCA would build and lease a second 15,000 sf office building to the City’s Parks and Recreation Department.
A valuable parcel containing 3.6 acres on the north end of the property has been preserved for future development. It
has excellent visibility and access from Greenbrier Parkway. The YMCA is working with the Field House in Virginia Beach
to expand its operation to the City of Chesapeake by constructing an approximately 60,000 sf facility including four indoor
competition athletic fields with parking per zoning.
PART II
Project Ownership
Our proposal calls for the new indoor pool and community center to be owned by the City of
Chesapeake. The YMCA would retain ownership of the proposed Office Building and Spray Park. The
proposed site would be subdivided or turned into a commercial condominium that would include the
Aquatic/Community Center Unit, YMCA Spray Pool Unit, YMCA Office Unit and would have one or two
remaining development opportunities in the event the Indoor Athletic Facility chose not to exercise
the option to develop.
Operation of Project
The YMCA would be responsible for the management and operation of the Aquatic Center and work
collaboratively with the City’s Tourism Department to attract regional swim competitions to increase
weekend revenue for area hotels, restaurants, and retail establishments. Unlike the previous proposal,
the YMCA’s plan is to maximize swim meet opportunities and would not be restricted by a membership
base operation. The design of the facility promotes use of the aquatic center for weekend meets
while operating the YMCA Family Center and use a regional parking strategy of public facilities where
necessary. This would include the middle school across the street and City Park if necessary. The YMCA
would use its existing fleet of buses where necessary to provide transportation to and from remote
parking locations. The YMCA would provide all of the required operation funding in addition to the
$300,000 annual facility management fee provided by the City. Ongoing maintenance to the facility
and equipment would be the responsibility of the YMCA. Equipment replacement including pool
pump, motors, pool dehumidification, HVAC equipment, roof replacement, main utilities feeding the
facility, and major structural repairs would be the responsibility of the City.
Technology
The new indoor aquatic center will be equipped with a Colorado Scoring System, the industry’s finest
timing and scoring system. Our proposal includes starting blocks, tough pads, professional sound
system and scoreboard. The filtration system will be automated.

Electrical- a complete electrical installation for the shell building. Site has been included as an allowance of $25,000.00.
PART II
b. Location of the proposed site identified by tax map and parcel.
Tax Map and parcel is included as required at the end of Part II.
c. Identify and fully describe work to be performed by the City or any other private entity.
The City will perform work in the TIF district to include Greenbrier park- all other work described in the proposal will be
completed by the project team.
d. Include a list of all federal, state and local permits and approval required for the Project
and a schedule for obtaining such permits and approval.
A site plan will be submitted to the City of Chesapeake for review and approval. The City will review the plans for
conformance to the City’s Zoning Ordinance and Public Facilities Manual, which includes regulations pertaining to the
Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act and state regulations governing erosion and sediment control. Before construction
can begin, the contractor shall prepare a stormwater pollution prevention plan (SWPPP) and submit the Virginia
Stormwater Management Permit (VSMP) to the Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR). A permit shall
be obtained from the State Health Commissioner through the Virginia Department of Health before the pool can be
construction. The Contractor will also acquire a right-of-way permit, building permit, and land disturbance permit
from the City. Upon completion of the project, the Engineer will have to submit a site plan certification letter before a
certification of occupancy will be issued.
PART II
e. Identify any anticipated adverse social, economic, and environmental impacts of the
Project. Specify the strategies or actions to mitigate such impacts of the Project.
The YMCA does not anticipate any adverse social, economic, and environmental impacts of the Project.
f. Identify the projected positive social, economic, and environmental impacts of the Project.
The YMCA of South Hampton Roads has adopted a strategic plan that has the following Vision statement: “The Y
is committed to strengthening the foundations of our community by significantly increasing the number of healthy
families through nurturing the potential of every child and teen, improving the community’s health and well being, and
giving back and providing support to our neighbors.”
The proposed aquatic center will be an additional “tool” available to the YMCA to impact youth. The YMCA’s goal is
to expand leadership program opportunities and experiences for teenagers and provide a comprehensive network of
youth sports and aquatic programs to teach children core values and strengthen self esteem and build self confidence.
The aquatic center will expand our efforts to build strong families by enhancing the healthy living goals of the Y. The
highly regarded Y-change program motivates healthy living and life style adjustments for children and adults. In
addition, this effort will expand opportunities for health seekers to engage in a more active and healthy lifestyle.
The social impact of the over-all community will promote healthy living among all populations in the city.
The YMCA’s proposal has reduced the projected construction and development of a 50-meter competition pool project
by over $20,000,000 and reduced the annual operating commitment from the TIF by $2,000,000 per year than previously
proposed. More importantly, the annual operating risk has been capped at $300,000 per year while still preserving
and enhancing the economic development benefits of hosting sports team competitions. The YMCA’s investment
in relocating its Corporate Offices and construction of a public access spray park further strengthen the economic
development benefits of higher retail and restaurant use in the Greenbrier District.
Additionally, locating the proposed project in Greenbrier Park provides multiple cost effective benefits including:
The existing indoor and/or outdoor YMCA pools will be used during swim meets for athletes to warm up prior to
scheduled heats, which is a critical facility requirement of all championship meets. The financial benefit of using existing
facilities reduces the total project costs by over $2,500,000.
Management and operational expenses are significantly reduced by utilizing the existing YMCA management structure.
This reduces operating expenses by hundreds of thousands of dollars annually by eliminating the need to hire an
additional Center Director, Aquatic Director, and Property Manager. Hourly wages for service desk, lifeguards, and
supervisory personnel are also reduced by operating in conjunction with an existing YMCA where the infrastructure
exists.
Existing security systems, maintenance programs, and custodial services can easily be expanded providing the highest
level of cost effectiveness.
The YMCA’s Open Doors Program provides financial assistance to those families and individuals who cannot afford
to pay the full fee. Currently, 5,581 households receive $107,434 in monthly financial assistance to ensure everyone is
welcome at a YMCA.
The existing Greenbrier Family YMCA already includes most of the features and facilities that were recommended
in the previous proposal before City Council. Other than the new facilities included in our response to the RFP, the
YMCA network of Family Centers can substantially meet the health, wellness, and recreational needs of the citizens of
Chesapeake. By working together with the City to promote the YMCA’s financial assistance and guest pass programs,
all of the City’s families and children can gain affordable access to the YMCA.
PART II
g. Identify the proposed schedule for the work on the Project, including the estimated time
for completion.

PART II
h. Proposed allocation of risk and liability for work completed beyond the Project
completion date, and assurances for timely completion of the Project.
No “liquidated damages” are proposed for the project. The risk, liability and assurance for timely completion of the
project will be the responsibility of the an effective and reliable team of professionals working together in a design/
build environment. From a construction perspective, MEB General Contractors will be responsible for completing
the project’s construction on time, and MEB will have every incentive to do so. As a local contractor in business since
1982, MEB has a history of on-time construction and their reputation relies on successful management of the project
schedule. Equally important, the project’s profitability relies on timely completion
i. State assumptions related to ownership, legal liability, law enforcement and operation of
the Project and the existence of any restrictions on the City’s use of the Project.
Our proposal calls for the new indoor pool and community center to be owned by the City of Chesapeake. The YMCA
would retain ownership of the proposed Office Building and Spray Park. The proposed site would be subdivided or
turned into a commercial condominium that would include the Aquatic/Community Center Unit, YMCA Spray Pool Unit,
YMCA Office Unit and would have one or two remaining development opportunities with the viable opportunity of
housing indoor competition fields.
The YMCA would be responsible for the management and operation of the Aquatic Center and work collaboratively
with the City’s Tourism Department to attract regional swim competitions to increase weekend revenue for area hotels,
restaurants, and retail establishments.
Management and operational expenses are significantly reduced by utilizing the existing YMCA management structure.
This reduces operating expenses by hundreds of thousands of dollars annually by eliminating the need to hire an
additional Center Director, Aquatic Director, and Property Manager. Hourly wages for service desk, lifeguards, and
supervisory personnel are also reduced by operating in conjunction with an existing YMCA where the infrastructure
exists.
Existing security systems, maintenance programs, and custodial services can easily be expanded providing the highest
level of cost effectiveness.
j. Provide information relative to phased or partial openings of the proposed Project prior to
completion of the entire work.
The project is proposed as a single phase to be completed in its entirety prior to any occupancy or access by the public.

PART III
PROJECT FINANCING
c Include a list and discussion of assumptions underlying all major elements of the plan.
The normal useful life of the proposed aquatic facility is 40 years. Based on the proposed terms of the operational plan,
the City anticipated capital reinvestment during this cycle would include:
1. Pool motor and filter replacement: $150,000
2. Dehumidification equipment replacement: $800,000
There is no expected replacement or upgrades to site utilities or structural repairs.
d. Identify the proposed risk factors and methods for dealing with these factors, including
the posting of any required bonds.
The YMCA does not anticipate any proposed risk factors or the posting of any required bonds for this Project.
e. Identify any local, state or federal resources that the proposer contemplates requesting
for the Project. Describe the total commitment, if any, expected from governmental sources
(and identify each source) and the timing of any anticipated commitment.
The YMCA does not contemplate any local, state or federal resources other than those previously stated in this
proposal.
f. Identify the amounts and the terms and conditions for any revenue sources, including
any third parties that the proposer contemplates will provide financing for the Project, and
describe the nature and timing of each such commitment.
The YMCA uses a bank group to provide its project financing that includes Bank of America, Towne Bank, Sun Trust and
BB&T. For an investment of this scope, the YMCA would use tax exempt bond financing based on the best business
option to a RFP process amongst participating financial institutions.
g. Identify any aspect of the Project that could disqualify the Project from eligibility for tax-exempt
financing.
At this time, we are unaware of any items that would disqualify the project from obtaining tax exempt financing.
Project Benefit and Compatibility
4
PART IV PROJECT BENEFIT AND COMPATABILITY
a. Describe the anticipated benefits to the community, region, or state, including anticipated
benefits to the economic condition of the City and identify who will benefit from the Project
and how they will benefit.
The YMCA’s proposal has reduced the projected construction and development of a 50-meter competition pool project
by over $20,000,000 and reduced the annual operating commitment from the TIF by $2,000,000 per year than originally
proposed. More importantly, the annual operating risk has been capped at $300,000 per year while still preserving
and enhancing the economic development benefits of hosting sports team competitions. The YMCA’s investment
in relocating its Corporate Offices and construction of a public access spray park further strengthen the economic
development benefits of higher retail and restaurant use in the Greenbrier District.
Additionally, locating the proposed project in Greenbrier Park provides multiple cost effective benefits including:
1. The existing indoor and/or outdoor YMCA pools will be used during swim meets for athletes to warm up prior to
scheduled heats, which is a critical facility requirement of all championship meets. The financial benefit of using existing
facilities reduces the total project costs by over $2,500,000.
2. Management and operational expenses are significantly reduced by utilizing the existing YMCA management
structure. This reduces operating expenses by hundreds of thousands of dollars annually by eliminating the need to
hire an additional Center Director, Aquatic Director, and Property Manager. Hourly wages for service desk, lifeguards,
and supervisory personnel are also reduced by operating in conjunction with an existing YMCA where the infrastructure
exists.
3. Existing security systems, maintenance programs, and custodial services can easily be expanded providing the
highest level of cost effectiveness.
b. Identify any anticipated public support or opposition as well as any anticipated government support or
opposition, for the Project support .
The proposal addresses many of the comments raised in both support and opposition during the extensive public
comment period of the originally proposed project. These include:
1. Preserving the 50 meter competition pool.
2. The economic development benefits of athletic competition have been enhanced since the project design will not
restrict the potential number of meets.
3. Public access has been preserved.
4. Reducing the proposed construction cost by over $20,000,000.
5. Reducing the annual TIF contribution by $2,000,000 per year.
6. Mitigating the annual operating risk by capping the annual commitment at $300,000 per year.
7. Preservation of City Park as an open space venue for concerts and other community events.
8. Offices for the Parks and Recreation Department that were omitted in the original proposal have been addressed.
9. Additional community space and a senior citizen activities area have been addressed.
10. Relocation of the YMCA’s Corporate Office will enhance the economic development benefits of the project.
PART IV PROJECT BENEFIT AND COMPATABILITY
c. Explain the strategy and plans that will be carried out to involve and inform the general
public, business community, and governmental agencies in areas affected by the Project.
The project development team will work collaboratively with the City’s staff in the final project design and specifications.
Throughout the development of the project, public information meetings will be held with the public as necessary
and the YMCA will meet regularly with businesses located in the Greenbrier TIF to keep them informed of plans
and progress. The YMCA will develop and maintain current information on its website to keep all interested citizens
informed of current plans and schedule.
d. Explain whether the Project is likely to attract or maintain industries and businesses to the
City or the surrounding region and, if so, explain how.
All recreational facilities add quality of life benefits to local communities. The addition of a 50 meter pool facility to the
City will add a unique benefit to the City’s array of recreational activities.
e. Explain whether the Project is compatible with the City’s comprehensive plan, infrastructure
development plans, capital improvements budget, or other government spending plan and, if so,
explain how.
The proposed Aquatic Center is unique and will not be in conflict with any existing facility. The YMCA’s proposal will
also not compete with established health and fitness facilities as would have occurred in the original proposal.
Other Factors/Appendices
PART V OTHER FACTORS
a. The proposed cost of the qualifying Project.
Please refer to Part III section a for the proposed cost of this project.
b. The general reputation , industry experience, and financial capacity of the private entity.
The YMCA of South Hampton Roads is the 20th largest YMCA in North America with an annual operating budget
exceeding $45.0 million serving over 200,000 citizens within our region. As of April 2011, the YMCA membership served
35,409 households in our service area. The active membership within the YMCA is 101,557 people.
Over the course of the past 125 years in South Hampton Roads, the Y has grown and evolved, but one thing has
remained constant: our mission. It is our reason for being a YMCA, and it is a driving force behind our cause of
strengthening the foundation of community through youth development, healthy living and social responsibility.
The lead editorial in The Virginian-Pilot on January 27, 2011 stated “For more than 125 years the YMCA has filled a
critical role in South Hampton Roads, helping children and adults alike to stay fit, have fun and live well.
It also has been a substantial contributor to the local economy. The nonprofit has an annual payroll of $22 million
and 2,300 employees at facilities stretching from the Outer Banks to the Eastern Shore. It boasts the ninth-largest Y
membership.
The Y has long been known for its dedication to our communities, including its willingness to subsidize memberships
for the needy. That cost the organization $5.7 million in South Hampton Roads last year alone.
The YMCA of South Hampton Roads is governed by a Board of Directors of leading community citizens who are
dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for all our citizens. The management of the YMCA has established a track
record of community impact and financial accountability that is highly regarded within our community.”
The most recent financial audit performed by McGladrey & Pullen provided the YMCA and “unqualified” opinion as to
the financial health and performance of the organization. “In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Young Men’s Christian Association of South Hampton
roads as of December 31, 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.” Total liabilities and net assets for the
year 2009 were $63,686,474. A complete copy of the annual is available for review.
The YMCA of South Hampton Roads is a member in good standing with the United Way and complies with all required
governmental filings as a 501(c)(3) organization.
c. The proposed design of the qualifying Project.
Please refer to Part II section a for the proposed design of this project.
PART V OTHER FACTORS
d. The eligibility of the Project for accelerated documentation, review, and selection.
This Project is eligible for accelerated documentation, review, and selection.
f. Benefits to the public.
The YMCA of South Hampton Roads has adopted a strategic plan that has the following Vision statement: “The Y
is committed to strengthening the foundations of our community by significantly increasing the number of healthy
families through nurturing the potential of every child and teen, improving the community’s health and well being, and
giving back and providing support to our neighbors.”
The proposed aquatic center will be an additional “tool” available to the YMCA to impact youth. The YMCA’s goal is
to expand leadership program opportunities and experiences for teenagers and provide a comprehensive network of
youth sports and aquatic programs to teach children core values and strengthen self esteem and build self confidence.
The aquatic center will expand our efforts to build strong families by enhancing the healthy living goals of the Y. The
highly regarded Y-change program motivates healthy living and life style adjustments for children and adults. In
addition, this effort will expand opportunities for health seekers to engage in a more active and healthy lifestyle.
The social impact of the over-all community will promote healthy living among all populations in the city. The 50 meter
pool will add a unique feature for aquatic training by encouraging a higher level of competition.
The dedicated Senior Center will provide recreational, educational and wellness activities for seniors helping them
engage, enrich and empower their lives.
g. The private entity’s compliance with a minority business enterprise participation plan or
good faith effort to comply with the goals of such plans.
The YMCA of South Hampton Roads is committed to an inclusion and diversity model in all aspects of its business and
operations. The goal of YMCA membership is to model the demographics of the primary service area of each family
center. The employment practices of the YMCA also reflect the social demographics of the service area.
The Y makes accessible the support and opportunities that empower people of all ages and backgrounds to reach their
personal potential and life to the fullest. To fully realize our mission and cause, we ensure that people feel welcome as
participants, members, staff and volunteers.
The YMCA is an equal opportunity employer and adheres to all Federal and local anti-discrimination laws.
h. The private entity’s plans to employ local contractors and residents.
The YMCA of South Hampton Roads uses a “team YMCA” approach for all facility construction projects throughout
our region. This approach utilizes known contractors and sub-contractors with a proven track record of on time and on
budget construction practices. This approach assures quality design and construction. All of our qualified construction
partners employ local tradesmen and local labor as available and qualified. Mid Eastern Builders, a local Chesapeake
firm has been chosen to build the proposed Aquatic and Community Center.
