SUBJECT: Professional Service Agreement with Buxton Community ID for
Market Research, Retail Leads, and Marketing Materials
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Approve the professional Services Agreement with Buxton Community ID for a
not to exceed cost of seventy -five thousand dollars ($75,000).
2. Authorize the mayor and City Clerk to sign the Agreement.
DISCUSSION:
Background:
The Strategic Plan for Fiscal and Economic Sustainability sets as its first goal the
revitalization of older commercial areas. Objective 1.1 Action step 1 directs "contracting
with a consulting firm to prepare speck reports for each commercial village and/or
identified sub -area, utilizing existing and new data to provide research on commercial
market area and purchasing trend detail. The consultant should provide business
attraction recommendations, contact information, and targeted retailer marketing
packages." Following that directive a Marketing RFP was developed and sent to five
marketing consultants. Three firms said they planned to respond. Only one actually
submitted a proposal.
The proposing firm is Buxton Community ID. Buxton has evolved a niche expertise that
staff believes is most likely to achieve the goal of actually bringing new businesses.
Buxton explains their approach in what they call their "Statement of Uniqueness ", which
says in part.

1. CommunitylD is a target - marketing system specifically designed for
communities.
Most traditional marketing research firms offer retail studies for economic development
using some form of a Gap Analysis. Gap Analysis typically identifies broad industry
segments that are selected because annual sales of that segment are less than regional or
state averages. CommunitylD uses drive time derived trade area information and
lifestyles analysis to identify the specific retailer that will provide the goods and services
that the customers in the trade area want to buy. CommunitylD is able to tell its clients
precisely which retail concepts they should be recruiting; who in that company they
should contact, and delivers the factual data required to make, the recruiting effort a
reality.
2. CommunitylD is available in all regions of the United States for communities
varying in size and geography.
It has helped communities land in excess of 15 million square feet of retail as a result of
our analysis.
3. Buxton has developed location profiles for over 4,500 retailers and restaurants.
This proprietary database allows us to match these firms' customer and location
requirements with a community's trade area and then identify only those firms that can
successfully locate and operate in the community.
4. Proprietary systems and software blends consumer databases.
CommunitylD has one of the country's largest collections of consumer data available.
Many of the databases are updated as often as every 30 days. Through the use of
proprietary systems and software we have been uniquely able to enhance typical
standalone database programs to significantly enrich and expand the data, making it more
effective for retail analysis.
The RFP requested that the consultant examine three commercial areas, and create
trade area maps for each area, and develop three targeted marketing leads and
accompanying .recruiting materials for each area for a minimum of nine custom
marketing packages. Based on the Strategic Plan staff referenced Balboa Village, Lido
and Cannery Villages and McFadden Square and West Newport as the three areas in
the RFP. Since then the Economic Development Committee (EDC) has pointed out that
West Newport has few vacancies and that it might more productive to study another
area. Staff will continue to consult with the EDC on the third area.
For the price they usually charge, Buxton is proposing to allow the City to select six
marketing leads per area, for a total of eighteen custom marketing packages. They will
provide two hard copies of each package, a PDF version, and each of the 18 marketing
packages will be loaded onto SCOUT (proprietary software) for the City's use. The
SCOUT software is available to the City for one year as part of this contract. With the
SCOUT software the City will have the ability to create additional marketing materials

and do some additional searches. The contract provides that the City at its sole option
may subscribe to SCOUT for another year at the cost of $1,000 per month. Buxton
anticipates accomplishing all of its work in approximately sixty days for the flat rate of
$75,000. Should the City request additional work it will be billed at $200 per hour.
Staff contacted five (5) of Buxton's long list of references; all were very satisfied and
highly recommended Buxton and their services. Two had use Buxton more than once.
All felt that businesses had been successfully attracted based on the materials from
Buxton.
Environmental Review:
Approval of a PSA is not a project as defined by CEQA. .
Funding Availability:
Funding for this project exists in account #2720 -8080. It was one of the projects
envisioned at the time of adoption of the Strategic Plan and the budget amendment of
$350,000 for its phase 1 implementation.

Buxton's Community /DI' program is a total retail identification and marketing
program designed for community economic development programs. Per this
contract, Buxton agrees to analyze three (3) commercial villages and /or retail
sub -areas in order to determine the overall retail potential for each.
Buxton integrated proprietary technical capabilities with more than 500
cumulative years experience in retail management and local economic
development to create Community /D®. This unique strategy has brought both
innovation and a disciplined approach to municipal retail development efforts.
Trade area, based on our drive -time methodology, will be determined for each
commercial village. Psychographic analysis will be done for each trade area to
determine buying power, lifestyle characteristics, and consumer profiles for
customers within the trade area. In addition, market viability will be determined
for each trade area to identify the most sustainable retail /restaurant concepts.
A retail leakage and surplus analysis will be done to analyze gap and overlap in
the market.
An overall retail concept list will be provided for each studied site. The City of
Newport Beach will then be asked to select the top six (6) desired concepts for
each site for the creation of marketing packages. Buxton will design these
packages on behalf of the City of Newport Beach in order to speak each specific
retailer's language. The packages are tailored to fit the profile of the retailer, as it
aligns with the City of Newport Beach.
During the 60 business days it takes to complete Community/DO, civic leaders
are actively involved in the process and.make important decisions that guide the
direction and results. The four main phases of the process are:
Researching and Verifying Newport Beach's Retail Trade Area
This phase starts with the in -depth collection of the same location variables that
Buxton uses to qualify locations for retail clients- Because of Buxton's unique
capabilities, we can translate this retail - specific information into market
intelligence that community leaders need to attract and grow their retail sectors.
Evaluating Newport Beach's Retail Potential
The evaluation phase will clarify what makes Newport Beach distinctive and
valuable from a retailer's viewpoint. Through daily involvement in retail location
analysis, Buxton has acquired the unmatched ability to evaluate a community's
retail potential.

. LL Community/
Matching Retailers and Restaurants to Newport Beach's Market Potential
The consumer profile of Newport Beach's trade area will be matched against the
customer profiles of over 5,000 retailers and restaurants in Buxton's proprietary
database. The final match list is developed with the input of community leaders
so that it reflects the needs and desires of the residents.
Delivering Newport Beach's Marketing Packages
Individual marketing (pursuit) packages for each retailer match are delivered in
both hard copy and in SCOUT®. Our exclusive online marketing system,
SCOUT® helps you to showcase your city in the best light. It gives you the ability
to create presentations and quality documents and to share information in the
match reports.
With CommunityVI,N ewport Beach can unleash its full retail potential, seize
new retail opportunities and expand existing businesses.
The signing of this agreement seals a lifetime partnership between the City of
Newport Beach and Buxton.
This agreement includes the following:
• Admission to (6) webinars per year
• An invitation to the Buxton reception with retail clients at ICSC
• Permission to use the Buxton booth at ICSC to host meetings with potential
retail concepts and the ability to distribute marketing materials to potential
retailers and developers
• On -going support for the life of the project

II. INTRODUCTION TO BUXTON
Since our founding in 1994, Buxton has been a leading force in retail location and
development. We are recognized for creating solutions that provide results.
Buxton began as a service to help retailers make informed site selection
decisions by understanding their customers and precisely determining their
markets. Buxton leaders soon realized that the company's expertise in retail
location and market analysis could also be leveraged to benefit communities
desiring retail expansion. Please note that in this proposal the term "retail" is
inclusive of all retail concepts.
CommunitylD®
Designed specifically for use in community economic development programs,
Buxton's Community/DO process has assisted more than 350 public sector
clients nationwide, resulting in the development of more than 15 million square
feet of retail space. We integrate our impressive technical capabilities with more
than 500. cumulative years of retail management and local economic
development experience to help municipalities achieve their retail goals.
More than simply providing data, Community/DO supplies custom marketing
materials and strategies targeting the unique location requirements of retailers,
developers and commercial real estate brokers. Community/D9 clients achieve
outstanding success using our tools for retail identification, selection and
recruitment. And our clients benefit from our unique understanding of retail site
selection from the retailer's point of view. The combination of technical expertise
and professional guidance gives municipalities the capacity to immediately
implement an effective retail development program.
Benefits of Community/DO
With Community /L)' you have immediate access to:
• Retail Industry Expertise. Gain a competitive position by working with
professionals who have years of retail management experience plus
current insights into your community and site selection processes and
trends.

retail development focus by incorporating best practices discovered by

• Proprietary Systems. Gather useful information by having Buxton's

Ill. NEEDS /CHALLENGES
Newport Beach wants to understand and then capitalize on the retail
development opportunities.
As communities increasingly compete for retail dollars, attracting the attention of
retailers has become more challenging than ever. Marketing your community
plays a dominant role in today's competitive economy. The challenge for the
community is to attract retailers and developers by providing trade area
information that is complete, accurate and up -to -date.
Using our proprietary methodologies, Buxton will collect and analyze your
community's trade area information and give it to you in a format that is easy -to-
use and appealing to real estate executives and developers. The best
information, however, is useless without a plan for using it. Much more than data
collection, Community/DO is an execution strategy that can help you build or
revitalize your existing marketing and economic development program.
With CommunitylD®,y ou will be prepared to:
• Achieve your retail potential by establishing a long -term partnership with
Buxton
• Integrate retail development into your economic development program
• Increase your success by preparing Newport Beach to meet the needs of
retailers
• Effectively position your community by leveraging your locations'
strengths and minimizing weaknesses
• Convey Newport Beach's advantages over competitors' advantages
• Establish credibility with retail decision makers
• Maximize time and resources by not pursuing unqualified prospects
• Win the confidence and trust of prospects by understanding their priorities
• Use competitive analysis to close the sale

IV. GOALS AND DESIRED RESULTS
The primary goal of Community /D® is to prepare Newport Beach to successfully
expand its retail sector.
Community /D® serves as the framework for developing a sustainable marketing
program that not only achieves short-term goals but also endures to ensure the
economic viability of the retail sector over the long -term. Such a marketing
program will bring the following desired results:
• Residents' desires to shop and dine at home will be fulfilled
• Retail leakage will be minimized
• Tax revenues (property and sale /use taxes) will increase
• Employment opportunities will grow
Newport Beach's ability to capture other economic opportunities will be
enhanced

CommunityfD"
V. PROCEDURES /SCOPE OF WORK
Once you have engaged Buxton to work with you in developing Community /D, a
project team will be assigned to guide you through the entire process —from
initial data collection to final presentation of the results. This team consists of:
Client services manager, Denise Barley, who will serve as your primary
source of communication during the project
Geographic Information System specialist, who will analyze your trade
areas and create customized maps and reports
Professionals with backgrounds as retail executives and economic
development practitioners, who will address your unique challenges and
help maximize Newport Beach's retail opportunities
Staff Visits
During visits to the community, Buxton's staff is able to make clear and candid
assessments of the community's strengths, weaknesses and potential by using
the same analytical programs and location matrixes that are used to qualify
communities and sites for our retail clients. Our daily involvement with over 1,700
retail and restaurant clients in finding optimal locations keeps us current on retail
location trends. This provides a rational and analytical basis for helping Newport
Beach decide how to best focus resources on the most promising retail
opportunities.
Data Collection
Buxton uses over 250 consumer and business databases that are updated
throughout the year, and in some cases, every month. Although it is possible to
obtain these databases for less expense on a community or regional basis,
Buxton buys and is licensed to use the complete U.S. datasets. With this
information Buxton will compare Newport Beach's potential location to the
universe of all retail locations operating in the U.S.
The following are some of the more well -known sources used in our studies, but
there are dozens more that we employ to provide additional insight:
• Mediamark
• Acxiom
• InfoUSA
• Claritas
• National Research Bureau
• Navteq Geographic Data
• Dunn & Bradstreet Business Data
Z (�
. > CommunitylE
Identify Market Influencers
All communities have special and often unique features that impact the local
retail market and have to be taken into consideration to fully understand the
market potential of the community. Such influencers include larger ethnic
populations, significant new or expanded developments, military bases,
universities and colleges, destination tourist attractions, prisons, medical facilities
or major employers.
After identifying these market influencers in your community, Buxton will quantify
and qualify their influence on the retail market and help to match retailers that
can capitalize on these customer bases.
You will benefit from the project team's expertise and insight in these four areas:
1. Researching and verifying Newport Beach's retail trade area
2. Evaluating Newport Beach's retail potential
3. Matching retailers and restaurants to Newport Beach's market potential
4. Delivering Newport Beach's marketing packages
These four major components comprise the Community/L-0 process. Each
component is explained in detail as follows:
1. Researching and Verifying Newport Beach's Retail Trade Area
The location decision process for all retailers begins with the collection, analysis
and evaluation of numerous location variables such as demand density,
customer buying habits, economic trends, competition, traffic volumes, and
available sites, to name a few.
The Community /Ds process for Newport Beach will also start with the in -depth
collection of data using the same location variables that we use for our retail
clients to qualify sites for the location of their retail stores and restaurants. One
goal is to define current retail situations in Newport Beach, in the trade area and
in any neighboring communities that impact on Newport Beach's retail
environment. The other goal is to understand the community's expectations and
desires. This analysis includes personal visits to the community, collection of
data components necessary to conduct the analysis and identification of market
influencers.

lr� CommunitylD
Drive -Time Trade Area Definition
Customers today shop by convenience, measuring distance based on time, not
mileage. CommunitylDs will employ a custom drive -time analysis to determine
Newport Beach's trade area. An example of a drive -time trade area is shown in
Figural.
This custom analysis is developed using an in -house database supported by our
knowledge of individual retail client's actual trade areas.
The resulting drive -time trade area map will be a polygon that more accurately
depicts consumer shopping patterns than trade rings.
To assure the accuracy of the drive -time trade area, the draft maps are reviewed
with community leaders and verified before proceeding with the next step.

2. Evaluating Newport Beach's Retail Potential
The purpose of the evaluation phase is to understand what makes Newport
Beach distinctive and valuable from a retailer's viewpoint and scrutiny.
Our evaluations capitalize on Buxton's knowledge about the retail marketplace
and the location requirements and expectations of retailers. Combining this
knowledge with our economic development competencies allow us to evaluate
and recommend proven community practices. Our evaluations do not rely on
dated government research or national /state statistics, all of which fail to reflect
local realities. Rather, we implement our reakworld experience gained from
working with municipalities that have opened more than 15 million square feet of
new or expanded retail space. We know how to help Newport Beach sharpen
your retail marketing strategy, aggressively market the city and improve your
competitive performance.
Retail Leakage /Supply Analysis
The Retail Leakage /Supply Analysis provides an estimate of retail dollars flowing
in or out of the trade area.
The two main components of this analysis are: 1) current actual sales (supply) by
retail store type and products, in dollar amounts, and 2) estimated sales potential
(demand) for retail store type and products, in dollar amounts.
We first calculate a sales gap index that illustrates your ability to capture your
residents' expenditures. An example of this index is shown in Figure 2.
The sales gap index provides a relative comparison of leakage /surplus and an
estimate of the dollars that are being spent outside the trade area (leakage) and
the amount of dollars coming in from outside the trade area (surplus).
This report can be run via SCOUT at any location within the map view

Community /D
Customer Profiling
The Community /D® process will identify and analyze all the households in
Newport Beach's drive -time trade area. Based on more than 4,500 categories of
lifestyles, purchase behaviors and media reading and viewing habits
(psychographics), the households in your trade area are assessed to gain an
understanding of the types of retailers that would be attracted to your community.
Our in -house databases include both traditional demographic data and the most
current psychographic lifestyle information for over 120 million households in the
United States (as well as up to seven individuals living in each of these
households).
Each household in a trade area falls into one of 66 market segments reflecting
the buying habits of customers in the household. The blue line in Figure 3
graphically profiles the households in a city's trade area.

.;:.: Community {D'
Retail Site Assessment
Buxton will analyze up to three (3) distinct retail locations, selected by Newport
Beach. Based on our collective experience in retail locations, the following
factors are considered:
• Psychographic analysis of households in trade area
• Demand for retail goods and services
• Site setting, situation and configuration
• Growth plans and relevant development
• Retail goals of the community
Newport Beach to select the retail site to be used for retail matching.
Buxton will develop a demand density profile of Newport Beach's three (3)
distinct trade areas. Demand density measures the bottom -line value of the
customers in the trade area -who they are, how many there are and what they
buy. One of the significant advantages of Buxton is our ability to take the
demand density data and to creatively translate it into a proactive market strategy
tailored to take advantage of- Newport Beach's strengths and to achieve its retail
goals.
3. Matching Retailers and Restaurants to Newport Beach's Market
Potential
Once the consumer profiles in Newport Beach's trade area have been
determined, the Community /08' process will match these profiles against the
customer profiles of 5,000+ retailers in our proprietary database.
In Figure 4, the blue line indicates the customer profile of households in a
community's trade area. The red line represents a specific retailer's customer
profile. A similarity between the two profiles as shown in Figure 4 analyzed using
Buxton's proprietary retail matching algorithm concludes that this site is an
opportunity for a specific retailer to open a successful store.
This matching results in a list of possible retailers. To develop the preliminary
retail match list, Buxton analyzes a number of factors about each possible retailer
to qualify it. This analysis is designed to eliminate those retailers that for any
reason would not be a candidate for Newport Beach. Considered in this analysis
are such factors as, verification of a retailer currently operating or expanding into
your market, location of operations in similar cities, and competition and
cannibalization from nearby locations.
Once this analysis is complete, the preliminary list of retailers will be discussed
and reviewed with Newport Beach. Based on the selections by the sponsor, a
final list of up to six (6) retailers, per site studied, will be created for the
development of marketing (pursuit) packages.

.. CommunitylU
4. Delivering Newport Beach's Marketing Packages
Buxton will assemble individualized marketing (pursuit) packages for each
targeted retailer. At Newport Beach's request, Buxton will customize each
marketing package for presentation to individual retailers, developers, real estate
brokers or potential franchisees. Because it is tailored to the specific needs of the
target audience, each marketing package is ready to use as collateral marketing
materials providing compelling and precise information that demonstrates
Newport Beach's qualifications as a location.
Each marketing package contains:
1. Map of the retail site and trade area
2. Map of retailer's potential customers
3. Retailer match report that compares the site's trade area
characteristics with the retailer's locations in similar trade areas
4. Demographic and psychographic profiles of the households in the
trade area
5. Contact information for the person at the retailer who has location.
decision responsibilities
CommunitylD® targets not only specific companies but also the individual in the
company who has the responsibility for location decisions. To provide the best
possible reception when Newport Beach contacts the targeted retailer, Buxton
notifies each company that Newport Beach has been qualified by Buxton as a
potential viable location for a store, restaurant or development and should expect
to be contacted by a representative of the city.

If SUBROGATION IS WAIVED, subject to the terms and conditions of the policy, certain policies may
require an endorsement. A statement on this certificate does not confer rights to the certificate
holder in lieu of such endorsement(s).

The Certificate of Insurance on the reverse side of this form does not constitute a contract between
the issuing insurer(s), authorized representative or producer, and the certificate holder, nor does it
affirmatively or negatively amend, extend or alter the coverage afforded by the policies listed thereon.
CANCELLATION NOTICE
