Q I <br />TRIPEPI SMITH <br />marketing ^ technology ^ public affairs <br />f <br />Thank you for this opportunity to submit a proposal to continue providing public relations and community <br />engagement services for the City of Santa Ana. We have thoroughly enjoyed the past year -plus of work with <br />the City and have been impressed with City staffs progress when it comes to external communications. <br />Telling your stories of success to the media and helping to identify core messages and talking points has been <br />intellectually stimulating. We welcome the opportunity to do more! <br />We will continue to provide ad hoc support as directed by the City Manager's Office (CMO) and support <br />outreach efforts for hiring a new Public Information Officer (PIO). Based on recent conversations with CIAO <br />staff, Tripepi Smith is proposing a 12-month contract with heavily reduced scope from FY 2018-19 to reflect <br />the City's budgetary realities. The agreement would begin July 1, 2019 and end June 30, zozo. All work under <br />this agreement would be performed on an ad hoc ("time and materials") basis not to exceed SSo,000 during <br />the contract term. <br />Tripepi Smith may be asked to take on additional projects outside the scope of this agreement. At such a <br />time, Tripepi Smith would confer with the CMO to determine additional budgetary needs. <br />Based on feedback, we believe we are adding value in the work we have done so far and there is, based on our <br />observations, a lot more to do. Let's go do it. <br />Regards, <br />Ryder Todd Smith <br />Co -Founder & Chief Executive Officer <br />
