Your project is to evaluate the public policy or public administration problem you identified in your memo. (SEE ATTACHMENT “MEMO”)and provide a recommended solution. You will make this recommendation by doing an analysis using the Basic Policy Analysis Cycle, referencing all other attachments.
Length: approximately 12-17pages in addition to the Works Cited & Attachment page(s).
Font: Times New Roman, 12 pt.
Citation: APA style using the parenthetical method of documentation only.
Format: Title page; Numbered pages; Double spaced; 1” margins; PROVIDE NUMBERED/LETTERED HEADINGS AND SUB-HEADINGS FOR EACH AN EVERY SECTION AND SUB-SECTION OF THE PAPER AS INDICATED IN THE OUTLINE, BELOW…DO NOT INDENT THE NUMBERED / LETTERED HEADINGS AND SUB-HEADINGS.
***************************************************************************
I. Executive Summary: 1 page.
•    State the problem in concise, explicit language;
•    State the methods of analysis used in this project for Part I an Part II;
•    Very briefly summarize each step in both processes;
•    State your final recommendation(s).
II. Body: the body of the paper must be structured as follows:
Part A. Basic Policy Analysis: 10-15 pages
Step 1 – Problem Definition: 2-3 pages
•    State and explain the concise problem statement immediately;
•    State and explain the spatial-temporal domain in which the problem exists;
•    Provide demographics;
•    State and explain the magnitude of the problem within the stated domain.
Step 2 – Set Criteria: 2-4 pages
•    State and explain the following criteria for success concerning the problem (be specific):
•    Solution feasibility – effectiveness;
•    Budget Constraints – budget limitations;
•    Political Acceptability – political survivability;
•    Administration– ability to be implemented.

Step 3 – Alternative Solutions: 2-3 pages
•    Identify and explain the Status Quooption and two to three other alternatives solutions/options;
•    Identify where each option falls on the Scope of Action scale (i.e. Status Quo, Incremental, Mixed Scanning, Comprehensive).
Step 4 –Evaluate Alternative Solutions: 3-4 pages
•    Apply the evaluation criteria from Step 2 to each alternative listed in Step 3 and explain weighting and rankings of the criteria and solutions;
•    Required Tool:
•    Evaluation Spreadsheet to contrast and compare each alternative (see Video Lecture #2 and accompanying slides).
Step 5 – Make Decision/Select Solution: 1 page
*    Interpret Evaluation Spreadsheet from Step 4, and do “Gut Check,” and make recommendation.
Part C. Conclusion: 1 page
•    Recommend further steps to implement this decision (HINT: Shewhart Cycle).
III. Works Cited: APA format.
IV. Attachments: does not count toward the 12-17 page limit.
*    Attach Evaluation Spreadsheetused in this project.
*    Do not include these in the body of your paper if their inclusion causes your paper to exceed the page limit.
