Exhibit A — Scope of Services Background The City of Louisville wishes to engage residents and property owners who were impacted by the Marshall Fire to gain an understanding of specific needs that exist and to identify a range of possible strategies that could be pursued to aid with recovery. In addition, Louisville wishes to explore and help implement strategies within their purview to help facilitate efficient and cost-effective redevelopment of the affected areas, while also seeking opportunities to "build back better" and advance other community objectives. vivoNIUD Fn The City requested and received an emergency planning grant allocation for a neighborhood planning effort described below. Additional grant requests are expected as a result of the scope of work outlined below. INITIAL OUTREACH/INFORMATION GATHERING OBJECTIVES: • Gain a better understanding of current property owner and resident situations in each community/neighborhood in the wake of the Marshall Fire. • Identify possible strategies and partners to help assist the community with near- and long-term recovery. Facilitate community conversations based on survey responses to communicate survey results, provide access to support, and connect participants to available assistance. 1.1 ONLINE SURVEY: COMMUNITY/NEIGHBORHOOD SCAN As a first step, an anonymous online survey will be prepared for distribution to all impacted property owners and residents (renters and owners) in Louisville. Input will be structured at the neighborhood - level to help inform ongoing discussions in each community. Depending on grant timing, it is likely this will occur in advance of the grant award and contract. While specific questions will be determined by staff, at minimum, questions are anticipated to fall within the following categories: • Demographics (basics, but also number of individuals impacted) • Property location (community/neighborhood) • Property condition • Insurance status • Temporary housing status • Intent to rebuild/anticipated timing • Potential interest in block/neighborhood-level collaboration to select a single or other limited number of homebuilders or to agree upon a number of pre -approved residential plans to maximize efficiencies and cost saving. • Potential interest in exploring alternative reconstruction options —such as alternative lot sizes (where applicable) or ADUs • Level of support for the adoption of stronger building codes to improve resilience (e.g., fire resistant building materials) The survey will be advertised by Louisville in a variety of ways to encourage broad participation and will be available for up to two weeks. Critical outcomes for this initial task will be to identify the areas of greatest need (both in terms of geographies and types of issues), areas where general consensus seems to exist at a community or neighborhood level about possible recovery strategies, and areas where M 12
