The questionnaire would be administered by DRL trained and supervised personnel. The <br />computer analysis will be obtained from our in -house C- MENTOR and SPSS statistical analysis <br />systems, insuring both access to the most current analysis programs and confidentiality of the <br />data set. <br />The City of Little Canada will be presented with bound copies of the final report highlighting all <br />the major findings of the study. DRL will also speak to any major differences from and <br />similarities with the past studies of the community, when applicable, in addition to other <br />maturing communities. A volume of all computer- generated cross tabulations and other <br />multivariate statistical techniques will also be included. <br />PROJECT SCHEDULE: <br />1. Planning with City Council Members, City Staff, and /or relevant individuals to establish the <br />topics to be covered in the survey. Based on these topic concepts, DRL would word specific, <br />neutral questions. This activity can be completed by a meeting, telephone and /or fax, depending <br />on client wishes, within two weeks of the initiation of the contract. <br />2. Structuring of questions and final approval of the survey instrument. These activities are <br />usually completed within three weeks of the discussion of topics to be covered in the survey. <br />3. Final determination of the field dates for interviewing. <br />4. Pre testing and, if needed, approval of resulting revisions. This activity is usually completed <br />by the second day of fieldwork. <br />5. Completion of all fieldwork within a two -to -three week period. <br />6. Computer analysis and preparation of written report. All analytical tests and commentary will <br />be available within four weeks after completion of the fieldwork. <br />7. Delivery of the final written report to the City of Little Canada, including presentation <br />graphics. Afterwards, telephone consultation, as the need arises, will be provided about the <br />study's findings and implications. <br />PROJECT COSTS: <br />The cost of a survey is driven by two factors: sample size and questionnaire length. The cost to <br />conduct a 50 question unit survey would be $12,500.00. Each additional question unit beyond <br />the initial allotment would be $135.00. Most city surveys are between 90 and 130 questions and <br />cost on average between $15,000 and $20,000. <br />Page 2 of 4 <br />
