Exhibit A As part of the attached agreement, we present the following scope of work: 1. Meet with Freedman Tung and Bottomley, staff of the City of Redwood City, relevant consultants and representatives of local stakeholders, as necessary; review prior plans and studies; and familiarize ourselves with the market conditions and important issues in downtown Redwood City. 2. Physically inspect the downtown area, and analyze it with respect to site-related factors for retail uses. Factors to be considered will include but not be limited to, location within the core, visibility, access, proximity to services and impact of surrounding land uses. Review proposed, approved and recently completed projects in the Downtown area, including in the vicinity of El Camino Real. 3. Building on already completed studies, generate an understanding of the market dynamics in the retail market in Downtown Redwood City and neighboring areas. 4. Complete a full retail gap analysis to identify, based on market evidence, the depth of demand for all types of retail development including regional serving, community, neighborhood and, most importantly, "main street" retail in a mixed- use configuration; identify achievable lease rates and likely absorption pace of existing vacant, planned and recommended retail facilities; present visual images of comparable and analogous projects, for communicating product recommendations. 5. Based on the depth of demand for retail uses, and in coordination with the City and FIB, determine the trade/study area for the Downtown Precise Plan area, as it relates to retail demand. 6. In a working session, discuss with the planning team and city staff, the key findings, conclusions and recommendations resulting from the study. This discussion will be supported by tables, maps, graphs and other documentation, as necessary. 7. Following the working session and incorporating its discussions, prepare a memorandum summarizing the study results. T-'.
