The timing belt and tensioner require a flat driveway and dry cardboard at a minimum, so send them back to FCP. The plugs, wires, rotor, and cap can be done on the street, quite easily.
Then call back a shop to get the timing belt changed. Make sure they use the Gates (OEM) belt and not the Continental(FCP) belt. Tensioner will be OEM anyway.

I know you wanted a list of shops, but even in the Twin Cities, there aren't any "reputable" shops who will use non-oem parts purchased by the customer.
