profiling against a proposed user, and many other search features. This new tool allows for a broader access to all of the Buxton retail clients versus just those that are on the match list and provided to the City within Scout. The program will also allow for the creation of consumer propensity reports and retail leakage reports. These added features will allow staff to be able to more responsive in other parts of the city with a vast amount of retail information and will also allow for very site specific studies, like at Coveleski Park or the Hall of Fame, to be prepared based on specific site information. When the City entered into the existing contract with Buxton, the City received a subscription to the Scout program for free as part of the CommunitylD refresh and entered into a 1 year contract at $1,000 /month for the service which will end at the end of calendar year 2011. The attached proposal from Buxton would allows the City to upgrade to the Scout power use program now and start the subscription price of $1,250 /month beginning January 1, 2012. Staff would also recommend adding the Retail Matching Model for an additional $500 /month to give additional flexibility in matching and profiling potential retail clients for various sites across the city. The total contract amount with Buxton for the upgraded services would be $21,000 for the upgraded service package of Scout and related services. Because the primary use for this program would be for the downtown area, the funding for this request would come from the SBCDA TIF budget. Staff would request approval of this proposal.
