2. Justification

Downs & St. Germain Inc. completed the most extensive visitor study ever conducted in

Seminole County. To ensure an accurate review of this project, we must utilize their specific and highly accurate data on Seminole County visitors.

Downs & St. Germain's unique advantage lies in their proprietary visitor research and established familiarity with the Project Volleyball timeline. This project concludes in November and would require a research agency that can provide similar data without conducting a new 12-month visitor study. A new study would not align with the Project Volleyball timeline.
