Re: Market Demand and Economic Analysis — Proposed Downtown Hotel
Ukiah, California
Dear Ms. Horger:
In response to your formal Request for Proposal ("RFP"), we are pleased to submit this proposal to
conduct a market feasibility study for a proposed hotel (the "Hotel") to be located in downtown
Ukiah, California.
A Introduction
As we understand it, the City of Ukiah wishes to promote the development of a hotel within
historic downtown Ukiah. Although a specific site has not been selected, there are several
potential sites within the downtown core of Ukiah that may provide an opportunity for lodging
development. The goal of the City of Ukiah is to determine if a hotel is feasible by the private
sector. If a hotel is not fully feasible by the private sector, the City of Ukiah would like to
determine the financial gap that might exist, along with recommendations of the most
appropriate public subsidies and/or incentives that may be used to potentially fill any identified
financial gap. The City of Ukiah therefore requires a firm such as CBRE Hotels to assist in
determining if the development of a hotel in downtown Ukiah is feasible by a private developer.
In order to assist the City of Ukiah, we propose to perform a study that would encompass the
following per your specific request outlined in the RFP:
June 7, 2016
Proposed Downtown Hotel - Ukiah, CA
City of Ukiah
Page 2
• Meet with representatives of the City of Ukiah to fully understand your goals and
objectives for the study;
• Conduct primary market research in the area, consisting of, but not limited to, interviews
with key demand generators, inspection and evaluation of competition, and discussions
with people familiar with development patterns and the local hotel market.
• Analyze the current and future market demand for hotel rooms in the local market area;
• Evaluate the appropriateness of the available sites in the City of Ukiah for the
development of a hotel;
• Provide key planning criteria as to the sizing, concept, brand affiliation (if appropriate),
amenities to be provided, and timing of the potential hotel development;
• Develop a forecast of the market share and likely occupancy levels and average daily
room rates ("ADR") the proposed Hotel could reasonably achieve over its first five years of
operation;
• Develop a statement of estimated annual operating results for the proposed Hotel for its
first ten years of operation. This statement would reflect all potential revenues and
expenses associated with ongoing operations and would be the basis for analyzing the
future economic feasibility of the development;
• Develop an estimate of the total development cost of the proposed Hotel. Based on this
cost estimate, together with our cash flow forecasts, we will be able to evaluate the
financial feasibility of the proposed Hotel;
• If based on our analysis a hotel development is not fully feasible, determine the financial
gap that could be filled by public subsidies/incentives, along with recommendations of the
most appropriate public subsidies/incentives to fill any identified financial gap;
• Codify our findings of the analysis in a draft report outlying our initial conclusions and
opinions concerning market and economic feasibility of the proposed Hotel. Upon review
of the report by representatives of the City of Ukiah, we shall address any comments and
issue a final report; and,
• At the appropriate time, present our findings to representatives of the City of Ukiah.
The work program for the study will be concerned with the determination of current and potential
future demand for hotel rooms, assessment of the existing and potential future competitive hotel
supply, and the share of the market that could reasonably be attained by the proposed Hotel.

C Market Demand and Economic Analysis
1 Introductory Meeting
The first phase of our engagement will involve meeting with you and your associates for the
purpose of understanding your goals and objectives for this project.
2 Site Analysis
Since the location of a hotel development within its market is of major importance to the success
of a project, we will analyze and evaluate the following factors regarding the subject's location
and possible advantages/disadvantages in comparison with potential competitors:
• Accessibility of the transportation network and demand generators
0 Visibility from various access points
June 7, 2016
Proposed Downtown Hotel — Ukiah, CA
City of Ukiah
Page 6
• Ambiance of the area as it might impact demand
• Relationship to demand sources and attractions
• Climate and seasonality which may impact demand
3 Area Review
We will gather and analyze relevant statistical data regarding the local and regional market area
to determine whether the economic environment appears suitable for the project. We will
examine possible correlation between key economic factors and the demand for hotel rooms and
will use available forecasts of these indicators in our evaluation of potential future demand.
4 Primary Research
We will perform primary market research within the local market. This will include interviews with
key demand generators, inspection and evaluation of competitive and comparable facilities and
discussions with executives knowledgeable about the area's lodging market. Among those whom
we may conduct such interviews are:
• Owners and managers of potentially competitive hotels
• Appropriate city and county officials
• Major employers in the market area
• Management of local tourist attractions
• Officials in tourism, development, and transportation
• Bankers, editors, and development -organization representatives
• Convention Bureau authorities
• Redevelopment Agency officials
• Local Real Estate professionals
5 Supply and Demand Estimates
On the basis of the foregoing analysis, we will estimate potential growth in both the demand for,
and the supply of lodging facilities in the competitive market area. We will then evaluate each of
the principal segments of demand and describe their characteristics in this particular market and
their historical performance. Then we will estimate growth rates in demand for each of these
market segments and project the anticipated future demand.
The next step is an estimate of the competitive supply, including historical growth trends and
potential additions to the supply. We will evaluate the competitive potential of proposed or
June 7, 2016
Proposed Downtown Hotel - Ukiah, CA
City of Ukiah
Page 7
rumored projects with respect to your development, and estimate expected performance of the
competitive supply over the projection period for the subject property.
6 Facilities Recommendations
We will review plans you may have for the project and prepare recommendations for facilities
that, in our opinion, will best meet demonstrated market demand, including:
• Concept and quality level of the property;
• Number, size and mix of hotel rooms;
• Appropriate franchise ("brand") affiliations (if appropriate);
• Sizing of restaurant and banquet and meeting space (if appropriate); and,
• Related services and amenities to be provided, including parking, recreation and other
facilities.
These recommendations can provide you with background for a design program and will serve
as the basis for our estimate of operating results.
7 Market Share Estimates
As a starting point for our estimate of the proposed Hotel's operating performance, we will relate
the property's size to the competitive supply, both existing and potential. This ratio, called fair
share, is then related to projected competitive demand and adjusted to reflect the share of the
market which we would reasonably expect the property to capture in its first five years of
operation based on identifiable attributes demanded in the market such as: location, price,
quality, and amenities. Based on this analysis, we will develop our projection of the potential
occupancy and average room rate the proposed Hotel could achieve over its first five years of
operation.
8 Projected Operating Results
Using our market research as a basis, we would develop a detailed cash flow forecast for the first
ten years of operation of the proposed Hotel. This forecast would include all revenues and
expenses and result in a "bottom line" of income before depreciation, amortization, interest, and
taxes on income ("EBITDA").
Since the estimated operating results will be based on estimates and assumptions, which are
subject to uncertainty and variation, we will not represent them as results that will actually be
achieved. The estimated operating results will be used to evaluate the overall feasibility of the
project.

9 Analysis of Economic Feasibility
After we have developed the above cash flow forecast, we will then develop an analysis of the
economic viability of the proposed Hotel. We will develop an estimate of the total development
cost of the proposed project, as well as a recommended financing plan. We will then calculate
the project's total return on invested capital as well as the return on an assumed equity
investment. Should we determine that the return on investment does not meet current market
requirements necessary to attract private investors, we will highlight the level of difference and
discuss with you ways in which it may be mitigated via public incentives/subsidies.
10 Report
At the conclusion of our analysis we will prepare a detailed report which will summarize our
conclusions and recommendations concerning the market and economic feasibility of the
proposed Hotel. The report will include an overview of the potential sites, proposed
improvements, local area, projected market and financial performance of the project (occupancy,
ADR, and NOI) and an evaluation of the economic feasibility of the development. Though the
exact format of the report will evolve as the engagement progresses, the following probable
section headings provide an outline of the expected final report.
• Introduction (Project Concept and Study Methodology)
• Summary of Conclusions and Recommendations
• Area Economic/Demographic Review
• Site Location Evaluation
• Competitive Supply and Demand
• Recommended Facilities
• Market Position -Subject Property
• Statement of Estimated Annual Operating Results
• Economic Feasibility Analysis
The comprehensive report will first be issued in draft for the City of Ukiah to review. Based on
review comments from representatives of the City of Ukiah, we will revise the report as necessary
and prepared a final report for the City's internal use and for distribution in support of hotel
development and financing purposes. This report would be suitable for presentation to potential
hotel developers, debt and equity partners, negotiation of a lease, management or franchise
agreement, as well as for presentation to representatives of local government agencies.
