Exhibit A Proposal for Eastern Alameda County Human Services Needs Assessment - JSI Amendment May 3, 2022 In response to the stated needs of Tri-Valley Leadership, we have adapted our original proposal to include the following: 1. Timeline and Qualitative Approach Updates: a. The timeline has been adjusted to 15 months (approximately mid-July 2022 through mid- October 2023). This additional time will enable the Project Team to expand the qualitative data collection process and ensure varied and vital perspectives are engaged throughout the process. This includes four added Commission meetings to gather input from the Commissioners of each city. The Project Team and Steering committee will attend one Joint Committee meeting at the beginning of the project period to allow for public comments on the intention, work plan, and goals of the Needs Assessment process. We will attend three separate City meetings once the Needs Assessment report is drafted. b. We will plan to attend six City Council meetings, two for each city. The first meeting will take place in Phase 1 to inform Council and community members about the process. The second meeting will take place during Phase 3 before the cumulative data analysis. c. We will convene two additional meetings with a group of 7-8 nonprofits that work collaboratively with Tri-County to meet the needs of the community. The first meeting will be a focus group interview completed during qualitative data collection (Phase 3). The second meeting will take place in the report generation phase of the project (Phase 4) to solicit feedback on themes from the data analysis and review draft recommendations for feasibility. d. We have built in time for two drafts of the report and two opportunities to integrate feedback and revisions from advisors, Commissioners, City Council, and the community at large before producing the final report. We have noted that the final report will need to have a clear narrative that Tri-Valley leaders can use to engage policymakers. 2. The Stakeholder Advisory Committee: Based on feedback from City leaders, we have expanded the committee to 7-10 participants. This may grow slightly should there be a need to add more perspectives to the committee; however, we recommend a committee with a maximum of 12 members to allow for a balance of input and forward momentum. The committee will also include a member of the Alameda County staff in order to build relationships, increase transparency, and identify opportunities for County collaboration and support around Tri-Valley needs. a Ns `�JSI RESEARCH&TRAINING INSTITUTE.INC.
