City'b'f-rtVt Collins(? By: L� Dat it d P964 Public Opinion Survey Work Order #1 SCOPE • Community support for proposed capital improvement projects (funded by a sales tax renewal package). • The demographic groups and subsets that express the greatest degree of support for proposed capital improvement projects. • The demographic groups and subsets that express the greatest degree of opposition for proposed capital improvements projects. • Issues and concerns voters possess regarding the proposed capital improvement projects, timing and scope of the tax package. • Minimum and maximum tax thresholds voters will tolerate • Correlation of community response to political ideology and party registration. • Registered community response groups and subsets which express the greatest degree of support for the proposed capital improvement projects, timing and scope of the tax package. • Registered community response groups and subsets which express the greatest degree of opposition for the proposed capital improvement projects, timing and scope of the tax package. • The appropriate time to present the issue to the voters. There may obviously be other issues that the City wishes to address in connection with the community opinion survey. Our team will work with the City in developing questions that effectively address all of the City's voter information needs. Similar to the previous survey conducted on behalf of the City, we will use a four -phase survey process: Assessment. The initial state involves the assessment of the City's voter information needs and the details of the proposed capital projects. Survey Specification. To provide statistical accuracy oat the 95% confidence level, a random sample of 400 individuals will be surveyed. It is likely that the quality of the database is good and that a stratified random sampling can be performed. However, if the quality of the database is poor, a cluster sample approach would be performed. The telephone interviews will be conducted over a three-day period. However, interviews will not be conducted on a Friday or Sunday. Before beginning the surrey pre -testing, we will provide the City with copy of the survey script for review. Time will be allocated for review and any necessary script revisions. All telephone interview schedules are pretested on a small sample by experienced interviewers to identify unclear wording and unproductive questions. Time is allocated for preview of the pretest results with the client and revisions before beginning data collection for the survey. Survey Technique & Data Collection. Sample selection is a critical factor to ensure accurate survey results. We will use stratified random sampling. Trained and experienced interviewers conduct the survey from single site with a supervisor monitoring the work at all times. Interviews receive specific training with special instructions for difficult questions and probing. Lack of response is a concern in telephone surveys. The low response rates found in a recent study. The No Response Problem in Consumer Telephone Surveys (performed by 182 commercial marketing research firms), were the results of minimal callback efforts and refusal to participate by respondents. These problems will be addressed by calling a number three times at different hours and on different days before listing the sample elements as nonresponsive, and employing interviewers who have been trained in specific techniques for getting and maintaining participation in the call. Schedule. Response must be received in the Purchasing Division by 2:00 P.M. (Our Clock) November 15, 2004. The selected firm will be notified November 17, 2004. Bidders should indicate that they can perform the survey during the week of December 1-7, 2004 with survey design work to be completed in cooperation with City staff by late November 2004. Statistical Analysis. Following the conclusion of the survey, the City will be provided scientific statistical analysis (including a graphic analysis through cross -tabulation) and an explanatory narrative. The analysts will provide the City a benchmark measure of attitudes toward the proposed capital improvements and tax package (as well as other data required). The data will be summarized using statistical analysis software (SPSS: Statistical Package for Social Sciences) which will create qualitative classifications and responses for the various demographic variables surveyed. We will work closely with the City to determine the focus and approach of the city-wide survey and to oversee the survey proceedings. The City will receive bound copies and master of the survey results. Ann Nock will present the findings of the survey to the City. Report of Results. The Contractor will prepare a complete report of the survey results, with sufficient analytic capability to cross tabulate and correlate certain portions of the population's attitudes and responses. The Contractor will provide a brief summary (Top line) report regarding the results of the survey within 3 days of the completion of the survey. Detailed cross tabulations will be completed within 2 weeks following completion of the survey. NNOVG23.2004 1�3 41�PM CGEDR6E, DRUM & CO I NN0.685 PP.3/3 I ACORD.
