The plan says "This import will be done in sections (block groups) using
ArcGIS Editor for OSM and/or JOSM." -- does this mean you are planning
to use one editor for some things and another for other things, or are
you just not sure which editor will turn out best?

You write: "In the first phase, only new buildings that do not intersect
existing buildings will be added." -- Can I suggest that you (if that
wasn't already part of the plan) also ensure that your buildings do not
intersect any other features in OSM that would be unlikely to intersect
with buildings (e.g. water areas, roads, natural=tree, whatever)? This
can of course also be done manually during the visual quality control
that you will perform before hitting the upload button.

Doing a visual quality control of 34,000 buildings isn't impossible for
one person but there's a risk of becoming sloppy with such a workload;
if you managed to find just a handful of others to share the load, the
probability for a high-quality import would likely rise.

shows 5 higher-volume mappers in the city of Redlands, one of which is
you ;)
