DESIGN GROUP
Scope of Work, Task List, and Fee Schedule
Okaloosa County Tourist Development Department Consultant
September 6, 2016
The Okaloosa County Tourist Development Department (TDD) has requested Matrix Design Group
(Matrix) perform a series of tasks to facilitate the development of capital improvement
opportunities for the Emerald Coast Convention Center (ECCC). This letter summarizes the
proposed scope of work, provides a proposed task list, lays out a brief milestone schedule, and
summarizes an initial fee schedule. If requested, Matrix will provide a more detailed breakdown of
any component during face-to-face discussions.
Scope of Work
The Matrix team will utilize our experience of the local area, the State of Florida, and throughout
the country to successfully address the requirements outlined by the Okaloosa County TDD. OQur
team will obtain public input, offer technical support, refine the information, and deliver effective
and achievable solutions for the ECCC. Our familiarity and understanding of the project
requirements enable an efficient, transparent process that ensures the TDD optimizes available
resources for capital improvement opportunities to increase the utilization and profitability of the
ECCC. The Matrix team will assist the TDD (and other consultants the TDD selects to assist with
marketing, research, etc) in the development and evaluation of Capital Improvement Plans (CIP) in
order to increase occupancy, usage, and generate revenue for the ECCC.
Specifically, the following tasks will be completed for this effort:
Task 1 Meetings / Public Engagement (internal to Okaloosa County)
Matrix will meet (at varying frequencies) with a number of officials and representatives from the
County. This group will include the Tourism Development Department (TDD) and an established
ECCC Capital Project Advisory Committee (CPAC). From purely a planning standpoint, members of
the CPAC could include: senior ECCC personnel; representative from Aramark; Okaloosa Public
Works; representative(s) from Okaloosa TDD; representative from FRLA (NWF Chapter);
representatives from the Destin and Fort Walton Beach Chambers; representative from OILA;
representative form the Okaloosa EDC; representative from the medical community (potential
large event user); representative from Santa Rosa County TDC; and, ex-officio representatlves from
Eglin and Hulbert.
These meetings will be crucial in ensuring we achieve the objectives of the County and critical to
our facilitation process. We will obtain information relative to the effort, set project goals and
timetables, review opportunities and discuss project constraints (among many other issues).
A working dialogue is critical to this process and must occur to obtain meaningful input from key
stakeholders and partners. Our approach includes an iterative and collaborative methodology to
continuously receive and process inputs from vested parties. We anticipate this project requires a
high degree of facilitation, program management, communication, and consensus building.
As part of this task, Matrix will facilitate information gathering sessions from a number of
constituents {stakeholders) in Okaloosa County. We envision regularly occurring CPAC meetings,
which may also be used to provide opportunity for public engagement and input. A unique aspect
of our approach is to provide a wide range of facilitation and consensus building methods that
provide both active and passive opportunities for input. If the TDD elects to host workshops {or
gather input in a regularly scheduled setting), one preferred method of participation includes
interactive sessions where participants are able to gather in small groups and work together to
determine issues, ideas, and solutions.
Task 2 Meeting / Engagement {external to Okaloosa County)
Matrix will meet (at varying frequencies) with a number of officials and representatives from
outside the County. Just a brief summary of these potential partners and stakeholders include
surrounding counties, regional and local agencies (Economic Development Councils, event
planners, hotel and restaurant councils, hospitality related associations), peers and competitors of
the ECCC, and possible federal agencies (Eglin AFB, Hurlburt Field, etc). These meetings will be vital
in ensuring we meet the objectives of the County and will help inform our process.
Task 3 Research
Matrix will research topics relative to regional convention centers, performance enhancements,
and revenue opportunities {e.g., types of events, non-traditional usage, fee for parking, etc). The
information gathered during the research task will be shared with the various constituents
identified in Task 1 (TDD, ECCC CPAC, etc) and will be used to form Tasks 4 and 5.
Task 4 Data Collection Development A
Matrix will work with the individuals and offices identified in Task 1 (TDD, ECCC CPAC, etc) to
develop project information sheets. These sheets will capture the information required to conduct
a detailed analysis of proposed capital improvement efforts (see Task 5.)
Task 5 Data Analysis
Matrix will work with the individuals and offices identified in Task 1 (TDD, ECCC CPAC, etc) to
analyze the data collected under Task 4. Our analysis will provide basic design concepts, including:
space requirements; Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) cost estimates; summary of constraints and
opportunities; and other parametric-level services. Additionally, in conjunction with the TDD and
other consultants, the study may include: feasibility analyses; project impacts; and, financial
modeling.
Task 6 Deliverables
Tasks 1 and 2 require a significant amount of support materials, which in general, includes: briefing
slides; survey tools; and, handouts. Ultimately, the efforts outlined in the above tasks will result in
a CIP for the ECCC. For each project contained in the CIP, Matrix will develop conceptual
programming documentation to include project scope, project description, cost estimate, potential
return on investment, and basic plans {simple single line drawings for illustrative purposes).
Additional Services Not in Contract (NIC)
Any services outside of this scope of work or substantial changes to the effort based on direction
from the TDD will require a revision in scope and fee. Matrix has provided a Standard Fee Schedule
as part of our on-going consulting services contract with the TDD (C14-2157-TDD). Matrix will not
proceed with any additional work without prior approval of the Client.

Billing Method
Matrix will bill the Okaloosa County TDD at the end of each month for services rendered. The fee
will cover all incurred expenses for the month and the remittance shall be considered progress
payments towards the overall scope of work. As we have done on every contract with the TDD,
Matrix will not charge for local area (within County) travel. A letter summarizing accomplishments
by task, hours consumed, and percentage of progress will accompany the monthly invoice. An
invoice will be submitted for every month for the duration of the contract (approximately 7
months).
Optional Work
Matrix stands ready to support the Okaloosa County TDD as its consultant for the duration of the
ECCC capital improvement process. As such, the terms laid out in this agreement shall serve as a
baseline for optional work if the TDD elects to pursue. As we have done previously with the TDD,
Matrix will work extremely hard to keep rates competitive and provide the best possible value for
your investment.
