Exhibit A (Scope of Work) - 1 EXHIBIT A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT (SCOPE OF WORK) The City of Everett requires an outside firm to provide project management, site evaluation, and other services for the proposed development and construction of a multi-purpose park, amphitheater, and minor league baseball stadium within the City of Everett (the “Project”). The City of Everett has secured state capital funds to conduct the initial feasibility analysis, economic impact, and further due diligence analysis to evaluate alternative locations for the Project. The Project is anticipated to include:  A park that will provide a wide range of recreational, event, and entertainment options for the Everett community. The vision is of an urban park that complements the existing park system and recreational options, anticipates growth projections in the city, and allows the use of the field except during ticketed events as well as areas of exclusive park use.  A facility that should be able to be relatively easily converted into an amphitheater seating at concerts, graduations, and events. The vision is for an open-air venue that complements the Angel of the Winds Arena and provides accessible, affordable, and safe outdoor events.  The stadium will be used by the Everett AquaSox, a professional High A Minor League baseball team currently playing in the Northwest League championship sanctioned by USA Baseball. The vision for the project is an unpretentious 2,800 – 3,200 seat multi- purpose stadium designed for professional baseball. The Stadium will comply with MiLB standards for player development and multi-use activities that may include emergency management, youth sports, concerts, and other events. So far, three prospective sites have been identified by the City; however, the Project Manager may be asked to expand the analysis to other potential sites. The City of Everett sees the Project progressing in three phases:  Phase One (2023-2024): o Evaluation of site alternatives, including State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) review o Site evaluation and due diligence, and study of economic impact and market feasibility for site alternatives o Determination of Project scope and financial viability for both initial construction and operation and maintenance; development of pro forma sources and uses budgets for both o Site selection o Confirm necessary funding for site assembly and construction and identify sources of funding for operation and maintenance o Preparation for Phases Two and Three  Phase Two (2024-2025)
