Exhibit A SCOPE OF WORK Supplemental Security ($38,000) - Downtown Incorporated contends that it is essential that, as the nighttime, restaurant and entertainment businesses continue to expand, customer comfort be enhanced. This effort includes deploying downtown ambassadors during weekend evenings to promote a safe and pleasant environment for customers, employees, and other visitors. Beginning the weekend of May 8th and continuing through the end of the year, Downtown Incorporated will contract with a private security firm to place four ambassadors into service for six hours nightly on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. Our intent is to utilize both walking patrol and bicycle patrol. The ambassadors will patrol the entire Community Management District with extra attention focused on area of customer concentration. Generally, ambassadors will be a liaison with local law enforcement, offer customer assistance (provide directions and information and the like) deal with inappropriate behaviors, maintain open communication with restaurant/nightclub operators, circulate throughout the district observing for and documenting mischief/criminal activity, and act as a friendly face of downtown Santa Ana. Ample coverage is estimated at 60 hours per week at $15 per hour and eight hours per week supervisory time at $20 per hour for a total cost per week of $1,060. At this weekly cost ambassadors can be engaged through the first week in September. Anticipating some low level participation from a newly formed restaurant association, this effort could expand in coverage. Promotions $89,000) - BID funds have historically been utilized to provide promotions, marketing and special events. To fulfill that intent, Downtown Incorporated is preparing a comprehensive marketing strategy that includes targeted advertising, web exposure, and celebrations and events beginning with Mothers Day and ending with an extended Winter Holiday slate of activities. Streetscape/Landscape Maintenance Service ($85,000) - Regular supplemental maintenance is provided by the City of Santa Ana. This service contract terminates May 31, 2009. This activity anticipates picking up an extension of this service for seven months. The work entails daily litter pick-up, refuse collection, sweeping of public sidewalks and alleys, minor graffiti abatement, cleaning and care of street furniture and fixtures, and the like. If maintenance workers can be effectively redeployed at a reduced level to save funds, the savings will be transferred to Promotions and Marketing activities. Prior BID Obligations ($18,000) — The BID has existing obligations that will honored by downtown Incorporated. They include $13,000 for installation, removal and annual storage of holiday decorations (skyline banners, lighted tree) and $5,000 to purchase decorative bicycle racks for the 2nd Street Promenade and Artists Village area. 0
