Approach & Process

Through a series of workshops, MENG Analysis, along with District stakeholders developed a Master OPR, then tailored the Master to each of the four aforementioned projects. This project was originally planned to be a single workshop for each of the five OPRs. However, early in the process, it was decided that a more iterative approach would increase stakeholder involvement and result in greater stakeholder buy-in. The resulting six master meetings and four site-specific workshops provided a venue for diverse SPS stakeholders including finance, education, capital projects, O&M, resource conservation, planning, and others, to address each other’s concerns and requirements for project success. This resulted in all parties gaining a more thorough understanding of the goals and challenges that each groups faces. By facilitating communication between these groups, the resulting OPRs are more thorough and incorporate elements that are important to each stakeholder group.
