Specify time and manner of performance as required. A project budget may be incorporated or attached in addition to the Scope of Work. Each page of each exhibit should be initialed by the signatories for the parties). The Department of Design and Merchandising, represented by Dr. Molly Eckman and Dr. Ruoh-Nan Yan, proposes to explore consumers' opinions about and needs for types of retailers and retail services in Fort Collins in addition to their perceptions of the impact of retail development on the local community through collaboration with the City Council of Fort Collins. The anticipated outcome would be to identify the retail opportunities that may compliment the current retail offerings provided by stores in such areas as Old Town, Foothills Mall, and the Promenade Shops at Centerra. The goal is to contribute to the retail development process in Fort Collins that would benefit the city, merchants, and consumers. Dr. Eckman and Dr. Yan will develop a questionnaire and supervise graduate students in data collection and data entry. A total of 600 respondents will be contacted — 200 respondents at each of three retail locations (Old Town, Foothills Mall, the Promenade Shops at Centerra). Dr. Eckman and Dr. Yan will provide an analysis of data collected and supply a report to the City of Fort Collins.

Questionnaire Development In order to achieve the anticipated outcome, we propose to survey consumers in Fort Collins on the three major topics listed below followed by general questions we propose to address each of the topics: 1. Consumers' perceptions of the impact of retail development on economic and social aspects of the Fort Collins community Research questions: a. To what extent do consumers believe that the retail development influence the economic (e.g., wages and professional career opportunities) and social (e.g., traffic congestion and natural environment) aspects of the Fort Collins community? b. To what extent do consumers support the proposed new retail development on Harmony Road? What are the specific factors that may impact consumers' support for this new development? 2. Consumers' perceptions of and satisfaction with the product offerings, services, and design of the three retail locations Exhibit A to Service Agreement Initials: CSU'':AA U Client: Research questions: a.
