EXHIBIT "A" SCOPE OF SERVICES Itemized List of what Consultant will do for City and at what price and schedule. Consultant Team—Work Plan Consultant and subconsultant, MIG, Inc., an expert in public outreach strategy and facilitator, will work jointly to provide the required research and data collection as outlined below. Task 1: Project Initiation Consultant and subconsultant will attend an in-person project initiation meeting with City staff to discuss the goals of the technical analysis and updated nexus study and to review the work program and schedule. A key purpose of the meeting will be to identify available sources of information and data and discuss the key components and steps in a fee update. It is expected that some of the necessary information and data will be provided by City staff, some will come from subconsultant work efforts, and others will require consultant research. Task 2: Parkland and Facilities Improvement Program Consultant will work with City staff and subconsultant to identify the scale and types of parkland and park improvements required to serve new development in the City. This will be based on current service standards as well as the City's expectations in terms of opportunities for land acquisition and future park improvements. The 2019 Parks Needs Assessment will be an important source of information. The requirements of the Quimby Act and the Mitigation Fee Act will also play a fundamental role. Consultant, City staff, and subconsultant will identify a short-list of potential additional capital facility types to incorporate into the parks and recreation fee or to add as an additional new City fee program. Task 3: Establish Growth Forecast and Determine Land Use Categories Consultant will work with City staff (including staff in other City departments as appropriate) and use publicly available information to identify the existing levels of amount and type of future development expected in the City. The amount of future growth will help inform consideration of appropriate land use categories to incorporate into the fee program and support the technical analysis required to establish the maximum fee levels. The relationship between existing and future development will also help allocate costs between them where new improvements are expected to serve both. With City staff, consultant will finalize the list of land use categories that could be subject to the updated fee program. This will include residential and non-residential categories and the preferred subcategories.
