EXHIBIT "A"
SCOPE OF SERVICES
MVR Consulting Services for the Downtown Festival Project are:
Task 1: Project Management
a) Martha van Rooijen, owner of MVR Consulting (MVR) will be
assigned as the Project Manager.
b) MVR will work from project concept, through design to final
construction to oversee the development and implementation of the
park. All project components needed to develop and build the park
will be identified, studied and resolved. These include City staff
efforts, budgeting, funding, community outreach, design and
engineering, City approvals, construction and supporting services,
marketing, sponsorships, maintenance, and operations.
c) MVR is proposing that a Project Development Team (PDT) model
be used to meet regularly and engage in the active implementation
of the park. The PDT will be decision-maker based with City
leaders, consulting staff, and appropriate community partners
attending regularly scheduled meetings. PDT meetings initially will
be every two weeks until the project manager and group determine
together that a monthly schedule is feasible. It is estimated that the
two-week schedule will be needed for at least the first three to six
months into project implementation. In addition, special purpose
meetings will be held as needed to produce information necessary
for regular PDT meetings. Meeting notes will be created with
action items with responsible person identified for follow up and
follow through.
d) MVR will facilitate City approvals needed for the park, including
environmental clearances, engineering, planning, and funding
requirements. City staff, City Commissions, and ultimately City
Council approval will be needed.
e) A project master schedule will be created and maintained for the
project that will include all project components, as well as PDT and
special purpose meeting dates, and City approval milestone dates.
i) DELIVERABLES:
MVR Consulting Service provider Agreement Page 15
• Martha van Rooijen assigned as Project Manager
• PDT Meetings
• Special Purpose Meetings
• Facilitate City Approvals
• Project Master Schedule
Task 2: Pro Forma Project Budget
a) Pro Forma Project Budget development will be comprehensive and

i) DELIVERABLES:
• Pro Forma Budget that identifies staff costs, as well as planning,
design, capital costs, construction, maintenance, and operation.
Task 3: Community Outreach
a) The park concept will be reviewed with potential community and
funding partners to get feedback for project development, funding
opportunities, and implementation. This will include presentations
as needed to interface with the City of Cathedral City
Commissions, such as Parks, Public Arts and Planning
Commissions. Once these steps are completed, a community
outreach effort will be made to share information gathered about
park development, design, funding opportunities, and
implementation with the community and it will also provide
feedback opportunities.
b) This outreach will lead to identification of local and regional
community and cultural arts groups, and others that will support the
park. This will help establish a 'grass roots' effort including those
that will endorse the park, those that can help fundraise, and those
that ultimately will want to use the park facilities. In addition, this
task will provide the groundwork for a "Friends" of the Cathedral
City Festival and Community Park to be established supporting
development and long-term operations of the park.
