Exhibit A:
Statement of Work, Fees, and Schedule
Overview
Eagle County Government (ECG) has a robust process of resetting strategy every two years. This rhythm, along with
the recent election of a new county commissioner and the general state of uncertainty, means now is a good time to
develop the County’s strategy for the next two years. Establishing or affirming priorities, adjusting success measures,
and tailoring action plans to advance them will help leaders and all levels speak confidently and cohesively as they
engage the community, partners, and staff.
Time is of the essence, and the Consultant agrees to conduct a rapid four-phase approach to assist the Board of
County Commissioners (BoCC) and senior leaders in crafting its new 2-year strategy. Key outputs include:
⦁ A listening summary that integrates community polling data as well as BoCC, Director, and staff inputs
⦁ A strategic framework that reflects community and BoCC priorities and goals (“strategy on a page”)
⦁ A breakdown of the key goals and the lead measures affecting them*
⦁ A roadmap showing quarter-by-quarter initiatives and projects to advance priorities and achieve stated goals*
⦁ Tactical action plans with clear ownership for near-term high-priority projects*
*Note: These will be designed to suit ongoing reporting via ECG’s strategic plan dashboard.
Approach
This engagement’s four primary phases are outlined in the table below, along with deliverables, level of effort, and

Approximately 30 hours for

Staff
GPS will use two senior consultants for this engagement, Brian Pool and Erin Ulric. Greg Bellomo will also be engaged,
overseeing the project and participating in critical project milestones. Backgrounds on each of these consultants are
available upon request.
Assumptions
⦁ Alignment with standard processes: The framework and its budgetary implications should emerge by the middle of
July to enable inclusion in the County’s budgeting process.
⦁ Integration of feedback: GPS will work with Bill Ray from WR Communications to edit the existing survey
instrument and consolidate Bill’s findings into the listening summary.

⦁ Limiting travel costs: GPS assumes that the 1-day workshops will be in-person and that all other work will be
remote.
⦁ Maximize available talent: ECG has qualified staff with the relevant expertise to drive this work forward, so GPS
will work with and through these professionals. For example, Communications staff will support awareness and
roll-out communication, Finance staff will help with budget & resource implications, project management will help
with chartering and tracking, and so on.
⦁ Project support: GPS will work with an ECG coordinator for logistics, scheduling, lunches, etc.
Fees and Invoicing
GPS’s consulting fees will be billed at $285 per hour. It is estimated that 250 hours will be necessary to complete the
tasks and deliverables. Here is a summary of the not-to-exceed budget in table form:
