As an interim step, and recognizing that Catalysis Adaptation Partners, LLC is uniquely u-- able to provide the required suite of technical, analytic, and planning services, Catalysis is being contracted to: 1) Incollaboration with City staff, identify three small sections of the City (roughly 3-5 blocks in area each) where a detailed evaluation of risks to vulnerable assets will be conducted; 2) Conceptualize and draft a risk-categorization and vulnerability analysis method tailored to the identified areas, and revise and confirm the method in collaboration with City staff; 3) In collaboration with City staff, select the assets to include in the vulnerability analysis and secure appropriate data layers to be used (or, for necessary data layers that are incomplete or non-existent, and within the budget constraints, create the necessary data through field surveys such as determining the elevation of houses in each area); 4) Conduct the analysis to identify relative levels of risk and sequencing of these risks from sea level rise, storm surge, and inland riverine flooding over time, in each area for the collection of assets identified; 5) Produce a report detailing each of the above steps and their results and implications. Specify requirements for scaling the study up to the whole city, including a.) identification of data sets to secure or create if they do not currently exist and b.) creation of a general framework for conducting a city-wide vulnerability assessment, to include elaboration of possible analytic and other approaches to include in Phase II of the project. 2 ( ) ~-~ The final report will be submitted with an expectation that any comments or concerns will be returned within I week from submission. A revised [mal copy will be submitted within I week from the time the comments are returned to Catalysis. If no comments are received within 1 week the first submittal will be considered final. April I, 2015 -May 31,2015 Budget $15,000 for Phase 1 For Phase I, invoices will be submitted in thirds as follows (payment terms are Net30): $5,000 due on contract signing. $5,000 due upon completion of step 3 of 5 above. $5,000 due when final report is accepted or revised final report is submitted. 3 Catalysis Adaptation Partners, LLC -Home 4/9/15,12:45 PM HOME OUR SERVICES WHO WE ARE PARTNERSHIPS OUR PROJECTS CONTACT US - Who We Are Our Mission Catalysis Adaptation Partners, LLC is a consulting To provide our clients with tools and information firm of senior experts with extensive experience in that will enable them to make more informed planning for sea level rise, coastal hazards and decisions about their future; and allow their extreme weather events. interests to guide their solutions. http://www.catalysisadaptationpartners.com/ Why Catalysis?

We work directly with municipalities to help them ask and answer many of the tough questions about adaptation, like: -How much damage can you expect if you do nothing? -What adaptation actions make financial sense over time? -How can you engage stakeholders in these conversations in a way that empowers the process with possibility instead of shutting it down out offear?

It not only calculates damages from single storms, but also cumulative damages from multiple storms over a given time period. This provides our clients with a more realistic estimate of potential damages for not adapting their vulnerable assets. The COAST Approach (TM) is the way in which we use COAST to engage in a stakeholder~driven process. Our clients determine which assets they consider important and which sea level rise and extreme storm scenarios they want to model-not us. This way our process is a~political and discussions and debates about climate change can be avoided. Service Tiers Tier 1: Vulnerability Assessment. This is the "no~action" phase of the COAST Approach (TM). It encompasses the following steps, which Catalysis will do in collaboration with the client 1) Select appropriate data layers and vulnerable asset(s). 2) Determine how to value the selected asset(s). 3) Select planning timeframes and appropriate future conditions, such as mean high water levels over time, storm floodwater elevations, and associated probabilities. 4) Select discount rates and rate(s) of growth for asset(s). 5) Run COAST software, provide maps ~nd tables of designed events, and produce narrative-and presentation-based interpretation ofthese results to address local concerns. Tier 2: Benefit-Cost Analysis. Most communities beginning this work also want to evaluate actions regarding the particular asset(s) they have chosen, actions they select from among the wide range of options in the categories of fortify, accommodate, and relocate. Catalysis will restructure the model to determine relative cost efficiencies of those client-selected adaptation strategies, both for individual storms of concern and on a cumulative-cost basis. Tier 3: Community Engagement. The central theme of the COAST Approach TM is trust in the local democratic process. Catalysis trusts local stakeholders to make the decisions they need to about the asset(s) important to them. For interested communities, Catalysis will spearhead public meetings and facilitate a model-development process most likely to produce results that are socially and politically robust. Working with Catalysis, communities can expect to see civic engagement momentum and an opportunity to generate avenues for adaptation action, where before there was none. Notes -Projects with Catalysis tend to run 4-10 months, depending on 1) the amount of public process the contracting body wishes to coordinate among stakeholder groups during the modeling sequence, and 2) condition of existing data layers and data preparation identified as necessary. http://www.catalysisadaptationpartners.com/our~services.htm I Page 1 of 2 Our Services ~ Catalysis Adaptation Partners, LLC 4/9/15, 12:46 PM ~ Stakeholder outreach and meeting logistics are coordinated by the contracting body and/or university or other extension groups. ~ Prior to initiating addition conversations, interested communities are encouraged to watch an introductory webinar on the COAST Approach (fM) (at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v= TA4286soh7E). • catalysis ~-."" http://www.catalysisadaptationpartners.com/our~services.htm I Catalysis Adaptation Partners, LLC 242 Sawyer Street South Portland, ME 04106 (207) 590-5031 (voice) info@catalysisadaptation.com Web Hosting by just Host Page 2 of 2 Who We Are -Catalysis Adaptation Partners, LLC 4/9/15, 12:47 PM HOME OUR SERVICES WHO WE ARE PARTNERSHIPS OUR PROJECTS CONTACT US Who WeAre Principals Samuel B.
