Board reviews vendor choice for community survey and levy research; item on consent agenda
Summary
The district recommended Discovery Works to provide community survey and levy research (about 400 surveys; eight-week timeline). The board emphasized the selection approves a vendor but does not commit to commissioning the work or a dollar amount tonight; the item is listed on the consent agenda (packet page 12).
Administration presented a recommended vendor after an RFQ process that returned four responses and proposed community-survey work to inform possible future levy or ballot measures. The presenter said Discovery Works was recommended because of local experience and a strong RFQ response: "we felt like Discovery Works was the one that ... had the most, we felt local had some local representation with other districts."
The proposed scope would include mixed-mode outreach (phone, text, opt-in online and paper) and aims for roughly 400 completed surveys; analysis would include suggested messaging and recommendations about timing and sample composition. Administration emphasized the board would not be committing funds by approving the vendor tonight: "this is just giving us the green light to to say this is a good company to work with when you decide to commission this work." The item appears on the consent agenda (packet page 12), and board members asked about cost ranges, sample-size rationale and timing relative to county tax controversies. The presenter confirmed an 8-week start-to-results timeline and said the district could delay commissioning the work if steering-committee feedback or timing suggested waiting.
