<br />selection process is also used to identify the adult member of <br />the household to be interviewed. To validate the completed <br />. sample, the latest census updated population characteristics are <br />utilized as a standard of comparison. <br /> <br />The questionnaire would be administered by DRL trained and <br />supervised personnel. The Company is proud of the fact that the <br />average length of employment of the DRL interviewers is four <br />years; the employment stability of our phoners is unique in the <br />industry and provides our clients with the most sophisticated and <br />proven interviewers available in the region. <br /> <br />The computer analysis will be obtained from the DRL remote job <br />entry facility to the University of Minnesota CYBER system, <br />insuring both access to the most current statistical analysis <br />programs and confidentiality of the data set. <br /> <br />The city of Arden Hills will be presented with two bound copies <br />of the final report highlighting all the major findings of the <br />study. DRL will also speak to any major differences from and <br />similarities with other recently completed suburban residential <br />attitudes studies. A volume of all computer generated cross <br />tabulations and other multivariate statistical techniques will <br />also be included to provide the "raw" data required for further <br />secondary analyses. In addition, the findings will be presented <br />by me at any meetings or work sessions specified by the city. <br /> <br />. since DRL treats every community study as the unique document it <br />is, we dedicate a great deal of time to the process of writing a <br />questionnaire. The components of the project and the proposed <br />time schedule is outlined below: <br /> <br />1. Planning meetings with council, staff, and/or relevant <br />citizens committees, to establish the topics to be covered in the <br />survey. Based on these topic concepts, DRL would word specific, <br />neutral questions. This activity to be completed within three <br />weeks of the initiation of the contract. <br /> <br />2. structuring of questions and final approval of the survey <br />instrument. These activities to be completed within four weeks <br />of the initiation of the contract. <br /> <br />3. Final determination of the field dates for interviewing. <br /> <br />4. Pre-testing and, if needed, approval of resulting revisions. <br />This activity to be completed by the second day of field work. <br /> <br />5. Completion of all fieldwork within a two week period. <br /> <br />6. Computer analysis and preparation of written report. All <br />analytical analysis and commentary will be available within FIVE <br />WEEKS after completion of the field work. <br /> <br />... 7. Meetings with the City Council, staff and/or citizen <br />committees in either a work session or formal presentation to <br />
