SCOPE OF SERVICES &CRPP OVERVIEW Since 1979, CRPP has conducted 3.5 million surveys and more than 3,500 focus groups in support of our research. Our clients include corporations, associations, academic researchers, non-profit ._, organizations, universities/colleges and federal, state, and local government agencies. This depth of experience, combined with rigorous methodology, is applied to the design of each project. ~.. Instrument Design -CRPP Project Directors are adept at professionally managing the instnunent design process. We seek to build consensus and understanding while maintaining our organizational objectivity and independence. We will encourage and facilitate the active input of the ,,., City of Miami Beach project personnel. At the same time, we provide our experience and expertise in order to achieve project goals and objectives. ,,,,, Typically, we allow project goals and objectives dictate. the number and types of questions to be employed. We guide our clients. on the survey length accordingly. ,,.,, Finally, where appropriate, CRPP.will develop. Benchmark instruments, consisting of a core set of. questions. This may serve as a basis for subsequent Tracking studies used to gauge changes, progress or movement over time. Sample Selection -The determination of sample size is a function of budgeting constraints, expected statistical reliability (or margins for error), and anticipated utilization of study ,,,, results. No doubt, anyone conducting survey research .would attempt to maximize reliability while keeping costs at a reasonable level. CRPP will guide the City of Miami Beach regarding the appropriate sampling size and plan for each project As with all project aspects, the City of Miami ,,,, Beach-will have the right of final approval For- qualitative projects, .CRPP will work with the City of .Miami Beach. personnel on selection of ,,,, methodology (focus .group, in-person, Internet panel) as well as the appropriate. total number of interviews/participants. While :qualitative data lacks statistical reliability, it yields in-depth-data and provides an opportunity for visual-based or complex .topics. to be .investigated. -Where feasible, ,,,,,, CRPP will ensure proper representation during qualitative projects. CITY OF MIAMI BEACH WWW.CRPP.COM 22 ,~ The Center for Berearch dam' Public Policy As a general rule for .quantitative studies, we typically recommend fielding at least four hundred ^~ (400) to one thousand twO hundred (1,200) completed surveys (telephone, mail,-and Internet), which yield a sample with a margin for error ranging from +/- 5% to +/-2.5% at levels of confidence of at -least 95%. These sample sizes are highly credible, reliable and,-will provide statistically sound data. •° Higher sample sizes may provide statistically solid results on a demographic sub-group and/or geographic area basis. ^^' Analysis & Reporting- We pride ourselves on our ability to meet and exceed project goals and objectives by maintaining a full in-house research facility that allows us,to complete projects quicker with higher quality control. All reports and presentations are designed to meet the specific ~- needs of each project. We are also prepared to provide standard reporting services, executive summaries, news releases, and public testimony. ~°' We insist on clear and meaningful narrative analysis of the data compiled for our clients. We have prepared many related reports that succinctly presented and analyzed statistical information. ~- Project Presentations & On going Consultation - In order. for the City of Miami Beach to receive maximum impact and utilization of study results, CRPP provides unlimited oral presentations of study results and unlimited project related follow-up consultations at no additional -- cost. .~ ~.. CITY OF MIAMI BEACH WWW.CRPP.COM 23 The Center for Berearch d~' Public Policy METHODOLOGY CRPP has extensive experience with all proposed methodologies. As with all research, rigorous methodology and quality control are essential to objecrive, reliable information. Our proposed "'"" methodology is divided into eight (8) tasks, which are presented here. TASK 1. PROJECT INITIATION MEETING (I'Ilvi) Deliverable: Meeting with project personnel Due Date: To be determined based on the City of Miami Beach's study needs and " .objectives with consultation of CRPP Communication is a critical component of any successful study. CRPP recommends an initial "kick- "' offl' meeting for each study to discuss overall approach, review comments on the methodologies outlined in the proposal, develop a project KI'ou and your firm did an excellent job. If I timetable, establish a project monitoring/progress were to fill out an evaluation of your services reporting system and to provide a review of issues over all, I would, have to say that you were a to be explored in the research. Criteria to assess 10 out of 10! Outstanding to work with and who .qualifies to participate in the study will be outstanding work product,. as well as all that "' determined at the Project Initiation Meeting with goes ..into getting .the product from the active input of the City of Miami Beach's conception to completion. Thanks for all of project personnel. your excellent support. and expertise. Please also thank. all of the members of your team who worked on this project as well " TASK 2. MAINTAINING COMMUNICATION Michael Corso ""' Chief Residential Advocate, New ..York Public Senrice Deliverable: Regular Progress Reports Commission Due Date: Schedule to be determined ^' by the City of Miami Beach's study needs CRPP will provide the City of Miami Beach's project personnel with regular progress reports "' summarizing activities, including progress around the workplan, tasks completed, and milestones achieved in accordance with established timetables. In addition, Jerry Lindsley, Project Director, is available on an "on-call" basis to answer questions. CRPP office hours are 6:00 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. "' weekdays. Maintaining regular communication allows CRPP and the City of .Miami Beach to discover. any unforeseen problems or overlooked opportunities. ,,. TASK 3. INSTRUMENT DESIGN '-~ Deliverable: Completed Study Instruments Due Date: To be determined by the Ciry of Miami Beach's needs; however the initial draft is typicallyprovided within 2 to 3 weeks of the Project Initiation Meeting (I'IM) Based _on PIM discussions ,and general project information, CRPP will support revisions to a draft research instruments -residential telephone survey, focus group guidebook, business. survey -that CIZ'StOF MIAMI BEACH WWW.CRPP.COM 24 .- The Center for Berearch d,' Public Policy will be submitted to the City of Miami Beach's project personnel for reaction and input. ^" .Subsequently, CRPP and the City of Miami Beach's project personnel will actively collaborate to develop an'instrument that meets all project goals and objectives. Having experienced personnel in the development of similar instruments, CRPP can provide the City of Miami Beach with a "running start" entering the project. CRPP will submit all instruments to the City of Miami Beach project personnel for final approval. TASx 4. SAMPLE DESIGN ,~„ Deliverable: Completed Sample Design Plan Due Date: To be determined by the City of Miami Beach's needs; however the Initial Sample Plan is typically provided within 2 to 3 weeks of the PIM CRPP utilizes random, super-digit random and stratified samples for research. These types, along with geographic distribution, (such as proportional to population contribution) are discussed and ,,,_ agreed to during this phase. Sample source such as client generated, CRPP generated, SSI or Census is also agreed upon. ,,,,, Because of the anticipated utilization of study results and size of the target market, it is important that the study's sample size be large enough to provide representative and credible data on the subgroup and/or geographic level. CRPP proposes to provide a highly credible and statistically ,,, reliable sample of 2,000 completed telephone surveys. The overall .statistical margin of error fox a 2,000 sample is +/- 2 percent (approximately +/- 4% by neighborhood). Equally important, a sample of this size will provide sound data on the subgroup ..and/or` geographic levels. CRPP is prepared to begin this project immediately. TASK 5. PRIMARY DATA COLLECTION Below are subtasks related to both qualitative and quantitative research projects. Subtask 5.1. Staff Training Deliverable: Completion of training notification Due Date: Typically within 3 to 5 weeks of PIM In addition to general researcher training, CRPP's Project Director and Research Supervisor will conduct a training session specific to this project. CRPP's Project Director and Researcher ~.. Supervisor. will review each question with our research staff to identify and clarify -any potential area of ambiguity. Particular attention. is paid to technical terminology, open-ended questions, and complex/multi-stage questions/skip patterns. - Subtask 5.2 Quantitative Study Pre-Tests Deliverable: Completed Survey Pre-test results ._. Due Date: Report during initial days of fielding CITY OF MIAMI BEncx WWW.CRPP.COM 25 ,,,~ The Center for Kerearch d~° Public Polio Where feasible, CRPP includes a pre-test (typically 2-5% of total amount to be fielded) of the finalized quantitative surveys. Following the pre-test, a briefing is held with the research team to determine any problems, ambiguous areas, or incorrect skip patterns. Adjustments are made with client approval, and full-scale surveying begins. Pre-test results are not included in the total sample if ^"' changes are required. CRPP requests the City of Miami Beach approve all instruments in writing before full-scale fielding. Subtask 5.3. Full-Scale Survey Fielding Deliverable: Notification that fielding of surveys is completed Due Date: Typically within 3 to 5 weeks of PIM .,, Given the high caliber of our field research staff, strict sampling and internal data control procedures, we achieve high response rates -- bolstering our confidence in survey results because non-response bias is minimized. CRPP will conduct all residential interviews (except for scheduled callbacks) between 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. weekdays and 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Saturdays, ensuring proper demographic distribution. Residential surveys conducted predominantly during the day tend to draw more female and older respondents and fewer younger, working respondents. CRPP will conduct business-to- ^°- business surveys (except for scheduled callbacks) during normal business hours gam to 5pm weekdays. Minimising Survey Non-Be.+~on.re Bias - It is important, fox survey reliability, that CRPP maximize the number of responses from the original sample. CRPP .researchers are instructed to code and perform up to eight (8) call-backs when encountering anon-response such as a busy signal, no -- answer, or answering machine. CRPP instructs all field staff to politely arrange callbacks on all refusals. These callback respondents are called at established times -- day or evening -- weekday or weekend. If the field-staff are unsuccessful in their attempt to arrange a callback time, the -~ supervisor politely calls the prospective respondent and identifies himself/herself as the supervisor and explains the critical nature of the call and again asks for the opportunity to conduct the interview. CRPP is able to reverse approximately 50 percent of all refusals by re-contacting -- respondents. Subtask 5.4. Ensuring Telephone Survey Quality Control ~- Deliverable: Notification within fielding progress reports Due Date: Typically within 3 to 5 weeks of PIM ~- Clase supervision of the data compilation process and interviews is carefully maintained throughout the research period. The field research supervisors review surveys and randomly "audit" and verify information that is collected. Supervisors are present during all interviewing periods, and a telephone -- monitor rotates .through the phone bank checking and evaluating interviewer performance. Using this system, approximately 25 percent of all interviews are monitored on any given day. In addition, supervisors check all. completed interviews for correct skip-pattern procedures, correct rotation, and ~- completeness of -open-ended responses. CYTY OF MIAMI BEACH WWW.CRPP.COM 26 ,,,, The Center for Research d~' Public Policy In addition, CRPP's Supervisors will ensure survey quality by verifying 15 percent of all completed ~- interviews. The Supervisor will re-call selected respondents and confirm that the survey was properly completed by randomly re-asking 2 or 3 survey questions. -- Subtask 5.5. Focus Group Participant Recruitment Deliverable: Notification Recruitment is Completed Due Date: Typically within 3 to 5 weeks of PIM ~.. CRPP will randomly recruit focus group participants, which will be held at locations to be determined at the Project Initiation Meeting. Typically, CRPP will contact potential participants by ~- telephone to recruit them for the focus groups. We have many systems to ensure that participants attend the groups they have been recruited fox, including: sending written confirmation letters and maps, arranging to call respondents back to confirm their availability, confirming attendance the ~- night before, offering respondents a number to call and ask questions about their participation, and preparing interviewers to accurately describe and answer questions about focus group participation. .- Generally, we recommend that approximately 15-20 participants be recruited for each discussion group. In our experience, this number of recruited participants yields approximately 8 to 12 attendees. Through CRPP's experience, this number allows fox a free flow of ideas while remaining ._ manageable. In order to encourage attendance, CRPP may recommend an incentive for each focus group participant, which will be determined with the City of Miami Beach's input. ,_ Subtask 5.6. Focus Group Moderation Deliverable: Completed Focus Group Moderation Due Date: Typically within 4 to 6 weeks of PIM ... The key to conducting a successful focus group discussion is professional and experienced moderation. In order to elicit the. information outlined in the guidebook, CRPP strives to conduct ,... productive, well-organized discussions. In many ways, this is a direct outcome of the moderator's abilities to facilitate interaction'among participants rather than dominate or direct the particulars of the conversations. Jerry Lindsley and CRPP's other Project Directors are experts' in the field of ,.. ~ facilitation.. CRPP's Project Directors are also :well versed at handling such problems as cancellations and no-shows, difficult groups, difficult personalities, and complex issues. CRPP's moderation staff is culturally diverse, and we propose . to assign moderators who are most .., appropriate in order to provide the City of Miami Beach with the highest quality of information possible. ... Suggested length of each session is approximately 90 minutes.. CRPP willvideotape all sessions for analysis and report writing. If requested and feasible, provisions will be made for the City of Miami Beach personnel to be present at each discussion. Subtask 5.7. Data Analysis Deliverable: Completed. Data Analysis ... Due Da.~e: Typically one week after data collection is completed CRPP uses a variety of statistical software packages, including .SPSS a comprehensive and flexible ,..~ statistical analysis and data management system, all of which are capable of data analysis. Data is CITY OF MIAMI BEACH WWW.CRPP.COM 27 The Center for Bereareh e'~' Public Policy processed as it is received from completed surveys. Data from each survey will be checked for ~.. consistency by our coding staff. The coding staff also will translate any open-ended responses into computer-analyzable data. First, a content analysis of a sample of responses is performed from each open-ended item. Then a coding scheme is developed that is sensitive to the original responses. .-. Editing of the surveys proceeds as interviews are completed. A customized SPSS program is written to accommodate the finalized survey instrument. Computer-processed data is reviewed on a scheduled periodic basis by CRPP's Project Directors. CRPP is a "secure status" firm that frequently. performs sensitive surveys and case studies for federal and state agencies. As a member of the American Association for Public Opinion Research and The ,..., National Council on Public Polls, The Center for Research & Public Policy subscribes to a Code of Professional Ethics and Practices, and therefore unless the respondent waives confidentiality for specified uses, we shall hold as privileged and confidential all information that might identify a ~. respondent with his or her responses. We shall also not disclose or use the names of respondents for non-research purposes unless the respondents grant us permission to do so. Further, no project or report information is released without the express written consent of our clients. ~..» TASK 6. ANALYSIS Deliverable: Completed Data Analysis Report Due Date: To be determined with the City of Miami Beach's input; typically within 4 to 6 weeks on the PIM Necessary for effective reports, CRPP may perform computer analysis including, but not limited to: ... composite data, age, income, education, employment, ethnicity, housing stock, employment, household size, firmographics, and geography. Advance statistical analysis and tools will be utilized where requested and appropriate including linear regression, multiple regression, conjoint analysis, „_. and logit analysis. All CRPP personnel are proficient in report .writing. Following a review of the data collected ,,.. through interviews, a table of contents is first developed to provide CRPP personnel with the best path to follow in the reporting stage of the project. Following the data review and development of the table of contents, an initial draft of the report is written for review by all CRPP Project team ,.,, members. Each member reviews the initial report separately, and then a meeting is held to discuss highlights and any possible changes. This method assures that no detail is left. unexamined and that .each member of the team involved in the project has -input into the final -product. Each of the „~, comments discussed at the meeting is noted. Upon agreement of the team, highlights are added and changes. are made to the report. TASK 7.
