Rev. 08.22 A-1 SURVEY SCOPE OF WORK Presented to the City of San Rafael March 24, 2023 GODBE RESEARCH Gain Insight EXHIBIT A City of San Rafael PROPOSED SURVEY WORK PLAN Godbe Research is a recognized leader in conducting public opinion research and voter polling for libraries, cities, counties, special districts, and other public -sector clients throughout California and the western United States. We strongly believe that any research project's success depends on recognizing the individual and unique needs of each of our clients, then customizing a research plan to address these specific needs. Accordingly, we have put together the following recommended work plan to address the research needs of the City of San Rafael to indicate the types of considerations that are involved in each of our research studies. Methodology and Sampling Discussion For this specific revenue measure feasibility survey, it is our recommendation to conduct a hybrid Internet and telephone survey of voters to help increase response rates in general as well as among voter demographic subgroups to the City. Godbe Research pioneered this process in early-2013 for our clients to acknowledge and counteract declining response rates for telephone -only surveys in general and among various voter demographic subgroups, as well as to leverage a variety of response technologies to make the survey process as inclusive as possible. In fact, the City of San Rafael was our first client to adopt the hybrid survey process for its resident satisfaction survey program. Some of our other clients who have used a successful similar hybrid methodology include the Sonoma County Library, Marin County Free Library, City of Novato, San Rafael City Schools, Novato Unified School District, Transportation Authority of Marin, City of Burlingame, City of Millbrae, and others. In addition, for clients who have also used telephone -only surveys in the past five or six years, we have been able to increase our overall sample size as well as response rates among key voter subgroups who have been a challenge to reach in past surveys using a telephone -only methodology. Accordingly, we are recommending a similar hybrid quantitative survey using an Internet survey as our primary data collection method and email and text to Internet recruitment. We will then supplement the Internet survey with a telephone survey methodology, after a review of Internet survey respondent demographics where we can identify and account for potential demographic sub -groups that might not respond adequately to the Internet version of the survey. The sample for all interviews will come directly from the State Voter File and Marin County Registrar of Voters, where we have self -reported phone numbers as well as email addresses, and we know that a given voter respondent lives specifically in the City of San Rafael. Our hybrid methodological approach then will cost effectively allow us to collect data from voters in the San Rafael community based on how potential respondents prefer to interact with various survey response technologies in order to maximize our sample size and statistical validity for the survey, not to mention demographic and geographic representation of voters. Finally, for the telephone modality portion of the overall survey, we will also make sure to include `cell phone only' voter households, given that we can identify cell phone exchanges within the voter sample by their prefix. Thus, by using this approach, we will have the most inclusive survey process possible, while still allowing only voters in the City of San Rafael to participate in the revenue measure feasibility survey process. Proposed Scope of Work Below, Godbe Research has crafted our recommended scope of work for the City to illustrate the types of considerations that go into each of our revenue measure feasibility surveys. While each of our survey projects is customized to the needs of a given client, there is a specific and proven process to conducting voter opinion research to evaluate Survey Scope of Work Godbe Research March 24, 2023 Page 1 City of San Rafael the feasibly of potential future revenue measure(s). Accordingly, specific services for the survey of San Rafael registered voters are thus envisioned to include: Survey Scope of Work Godbe Research ➢ Conducting a project kick-off meeting with the City of San Rafael and the development a project work plan and time line for this specific revenue measure feasibility survey process. ➢ Reviewing background materials, San Rafael voter and resident demographics, any previous and related public opinion research, and other public opinion research studies, and other information that will help to inform and support this current revenue measure feasibility survey process. ➢ Developing a demographically representative stratified and clustered sample of registered voters in the City of San Rafael based on the election cycles of interest and opportunity to the City, including November 2024. The voter file uses self -reported contact information, which includes landline (listed and unlisted) and cell phone numbers as well as email addresses obtained through the County of Marin Registrar of Voters. In addition, we will develop our sample as a split -sample so that we can test up to two different revenue measures independently within two different sub -samples of San Rafael voters. ❖ For reference, we have identified that there are a total of approximately 32,336 registered voters in the City of San Rafael through a review of the State voter file. For all voters, we have cell phones for a modest 13,390 voters or more than one-third (42%) of the voting electorate. And, we have landline telephone numbers for 18,782 registered voters in San Rafael or 58% of registered voters in the City. For the November 2024 general election cycle and other similar general election cycles, we have a similar breakdown of cell phone numbers and landline telephone numbers. ❖ Finally, for many of our library clients, we also obtain and match their cardholder lists (or other agency -provided lists such as parks and recreation registration lists) to the voter file to increase the amount and types of contact information we have for voters within our sampling frame. Should we be provided with City lists to match to the voter file, any personal or identifying information will be redacted prior to our analysis and reporting in a similar process as we use for the voter file itself. This will allow us to fulfill the promise of any survey process to keep respondents anonymous and confidential. ➢ Developing a survey instrument of approximately 25 minutes in length that will achieve the research objectives of the revenue measure feasibility survey in an iterative process with the City of San Rafael. The process will have multiple points for input, review, and approval from all project stakeholders prior to considering the surrey ready for fielding. Within the survey design, we will develop a portion of the survey to evaluating two different revenue measure types among two subsamples of San Rafael voters to give the City maximum flexibility in choosing the potential revenue measure type that it feels works best. Also, please note that the Internet and telephone versions of the survey will be identical, save for instructions specific to each modality. March 24 2023 Page 2 City of San Rafael Survey Scope of Work Godbe Research ➢ Pre -testing the survey instrument to ensure that the questions and response codes are understandable to respondents, and to ensure that the survey length coincides with the budgeted survey length for the project. ➢ CATI programming the survey instrument for accurate and efficient data collection, and training telephone interviewing personnel on the survey instrument and interviewing format and protocol. fi While we program each of our telephone surveys into a computer for accurate and efficient data collection, including routing and skip patterns, each of our interviews in conducted via a LIVE professional interviewer located in the western United States. ➢ Development of a recruitment email and recruitment text for the Internet version of the survey and working with City so that Godbe Research can send recruitment emails and texts to voters with known email addresses and cell phones obtained directly through the voter file or that we can match through City or other third -party sources. 44- The email will come from the City's recognizable (@cityofsanrafael.org email domain and should be signed by the Library Director or City manager to further convey that the survey is being sponsored by the City and the importance of the survey to the City. ➢ Conducting 25-minute Internet and telephone interviews with 600 (n=600) total City of San Rafael registered voters according to a strict interviewing guide and our approved sampling design based on the election cycles of interest to the City. ❖ A sample size of 500 to 600 total voter interviews would provide for a maximum margin of error of no greater than +/-3.96% at the 95% confidence level when looking at all City voters. Moreover, given an overall sample size of 500 to 600 voters, we will split the sample into two sub -samples of 250 to 300 voters each to be able to independently evaluate two different types of potential revenue measure in the same survey process. Finally, for reference, other recent voter surveys in the City of San Rafael have been able to collect between 500 and 700 interviews. ➢ Processing the data from the survey according to a strict protocol, and weighting the data, as necessary, to ensure that the results reflect opinions that are truly representative of San Rafael voters for the election cycles of interest to the City. ➢ Developing a topline report of findings and meeting with the City of San Rafael shortly after the data has been processed to review the topline/aggregate survey results as the first reporting deliverable in the voter survey process. ➢ Analyzing the survey results and preparing a report of findings conclusions, and recommendations for the City of San Rafael (draft and final formats), which directly addresses the research objectives outlined for the revenue March 24, 2023 Page 3 City of San Rafael measure feasibility survey process, including evaluating the feasibility of two different revenue measure types. s Our revenue measure feasibility survey reports typically include sections for an executive summary (key findings and conclusions), a methodology discussion, analysis of the questions and topics in narrative and graphical format for each measure being tested, as well as a copy of the survey questionnaire and a complete set of crosstabulations for all survey questions, as well as several value added modules each unique to Godbe Research, including a feasibility analysis (overall and by measure type), election timing analysis, ballot question wording recommendation, tax threshold analysis, geographical targeting analysis, and profile of voters. ➢ Presenting the results and recommendations from the revenue measure feasibility survey to the City of San Rafael online. Costs are valid for up to five online (Zoom) presentations as part of our project fees presented later in this proposal. ➢ Ongoing post -survey consulting with the City of San Rafael regarding the results and recommendations from the revenue measure feasibility survey, as needed (value added / no additional charge). Project Timeline Discussion Because of our experience in conducting revenue measure feasibility studies for a wide range of public sector clients, including libraries, cities, counties, school districts, and transportation agencies Godbe Research can generally conduct an entire hybrid survey process in about eight weeks. A formal timeline in with specific calendar dates by task for the overall research study will be provided to the City shortly after the project kick-off meeting where we can have a detailed discussion on timing needs, project team schedules, City Council meeting dates, and other items that will impact the overall project schedule. Survey Scope of Work March 24, 2023 Godbe Research Page 4 City of San Rafael PROJECT COST OPTIONS Godbe Research takes great pride in delivering reliable and practical research projects ,on time and on budget'. In doing so, we prefer to provide firm and fixed fees for our services, as opposed to arbitrary hourly rates that could vary widely based on the actual needs of each of our clients. Also, we feel that fixed -fee pricing most accurately reflects actual project costs by focusing on the three most important parameters in quantitative research process: the number of interviews conducted/sample size, the length of the average interview/number of questions, and the languages in which interviews are conducted. Based on our understanding of the needs of this specific revenue measure feasibility survey, Godbe Research has provided costs to the City of San Rafael to conduct an 25- minute survey comprised of 600 (n=600) total registered voters in the City of San Rafael likely to vote in the election cycles of interest to the City, including November 2024. This will allow us to split the sample into two sub -samples of 250 to 300 voters each to evaluate two different revenue measure types to help fund library and potentially other facilities in the City. The prices below reflect a firm, fixed -fee to complete the entire project --the overall cost will not exceed those shown below, provided that parameters of the project (e.g., hybrid survey methodology, listed voter sample, survey length, listed voter sample type, two project presentations, etc.) conform to those outlined in this proposal. Should project parameters or City of San Rafael needs change, we will be happy to provide amended costs prior to proceeding.
