REPORTS BY MAYOR, COUNCILMEMBERS AND TOWN MANAGER Mayor Dickey reported that she and Mr. Miller were pulling Item 8-E as they have requested that additional information be supplied. She said that they may be discussing it further during the budget process. She also reported that a public hearing had been posted on property regarding the Hemingway zoning reversion for this evening's meeting, but that will not come back before Council until June 4, 2019. Mayor Dickey said that St. Patrick's Day always reminded her of their former colleague and Fountain Hills pioneer, Keith McMahan, who passed away on March 17, 2009. She then read the following quote from a friend, "Councilmember McMahan had a passion for Fountain Hills and a love of helping the Town. He served the community well. I'll always remember his kind spirit and great smile."She said that it has been ten years and they miss him. She reported that she had recently attended an East Valley Mayors' Meeting in Paradise Valley as well as the Kite Festival. She said that she read a proclamation and presented it to Mayor Oscar Gomez from Altaco, El Salvador, one of their Sister Cities, at a recent reception held in his honor at Town Hall, along with Vice Mayor Tolis and Councilmember Scharnow. TOWN COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING MINUTES MARCH 19, 2019 PAGE 2 She attended a dedication to honor Jane Haynes, as the Times called her, "Queen of the Botanical Garden." She also met with Flagstaff Mayor Coral Evans regarding short-term rentals as well as a Sister Cities fundraiser with Mayors Kavanagh and Morgan. Councilmember Spelich reported that he and Mayor Dickey spoke at a recent Kiwanis Dinner and they enjoyed it. They discussed a lot of substantive issues ranging from the Sheriff's Office, town infrastructure, streets, revenue, etc. It was a good meeting with a lot of questions and answers. He said that he also wanted to personally thank Rachael Goodwin and her staff who put on a great St. Patrick's Day event which showcased the Town. Councilmember Scharnow reported that he would be attending an upcoming transportation conference and this Thursday he would be attending a Rural Metro meeting. He said that it was good to remember Keith; he worked with him closely at the paper. One thing he remembered was his laugh; he had a great laugh and smile. He said that it was good to see Mayor Oscar. He has been to Altaco twice and the reception was good and they had a nice dinner at Ft. McDowell Resort later that evening. He said that the Sister Cities Commission and Committee were represented and they also presented some checks to help students in Altaco. 5. SPECIAL PUBLIC APPEARANCES/PRESENTATIONS A. Monthly Update by Captain Larry Kratzer of the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office Captain Kratzer said that one thing they have been focusing on is increasing visibility and traffic enforcement since there have been a high number of accidents, especially involving pedestrians. They have been running the radar equipment on Saguaro and other high-volume areas and have had increases in traffic stops. He said that if residents had any locations where they would like to see increased enforcement they could contact his office. He said that in March alone they have issued over 100 warnings or citations including some for stop sign and signal violations. He said that recently with school back in session there have been complaints with high school drivers on Bainbridge so they have conducted additional enforcement there as well. Captain Kratzer said that they held their Coffee with a Cop on March 9, partnering with the Maricopa County Attorney's Office. They talked with residents and deputies, and provided a child identification finger printing booth. He said that it was held for two hours and they had a lot of people come and go. He said that one thing they have been talking about is working with the Fountain Hills Times and being sure they are addressing concerns being voiced. He started meeting with Bob Burns on a weekly basis every Thursday to talk about things in the Town that residents may be interested in. He said that they will be working on public service announcements as well. One of the misconceptions in the community about lack of enforcement is that the paper no longer publishes TOWN COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING MINUTES MARCH 19, 2019 PAGE 3 traffic stops and they will be looking at ways to put some of that information back in the paper. Councilmember Spelich said that he has publicly criticized them in the past, but he would also acknowledge that two mornings this week he has reached out to Mr. Miller to report that at 5:15 a.m. he has seen radar going with two squad cars on Saguaro and one on Shea. They are highly visible and he has noticed that just in the last few days leaving in the morning, people are doing the speed limit. Councilmember Magazine asked how much a traffic ticket is and how an officer decides on whether to give a warning or a ticket. Captain Kratzer said that the ticket is based on the charge so he could not say off the top of his head, but probably around $200 depending on the speed and whether they went to traffic school. Captain Kratzer said that the deputies have the discretion on whether to give a warning or ticket. Some of the things they may consider are how egregious the speed is, the environment, pedestrian traffic, or whether there have been a lot of accidents at the location. He said that he currently has three to four officers on the roads at one time, but calls for service take precedence. He said that they are trying to get an undercover vehicle through a grant from the Arizona Governor's Office of Highway Safety. Councilmember Magazine suggested that they suspend warnings for a period of three months and go straight to issuing tickets. 6. CALL TO THE PUBLIC Pursuant to A.R.S. 38-431.01(H), public comment is permitted (not required) on matters NOT listed on the agenda. Any such comment(i) must be within the jurisdiction of the Council and(ii)is subject to reasonable time, place, and manner restrictions. The Council will not discuss or take legal action on matters raised during "Call to the Public" unless the matters are properly noticed for discussion and legal action. At the conclusion of the Call to the Public, individual councilmembers may (i) respond to criticism, (ii) ask staff to review a matter, or(iii)ask that the matter be placed on a future Council agenda. Doug Harris, District Governor of the Lions Club in the State of Arizona, reported that they desire to reestablish a Lions Club in Fountain Hills. He said that in 1989 they had a club charter with about 45 people, but most of them have died. He said that they would like to have a stamp of approval for reestablishing the club. Mayor Dickey explained that the Council could not respond, but they appreciated them being at the meeting. Bob Shelstrom, Fountain Hills, reported on a Public Records Request he had performed regarding the restrooms project at the lake and did not find any report regarding problems with the boxes. He believes that the Council needs to look very carefully at that project. 7. CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS All items listed on the Consent Agenda are considered to be routine, non-controversial matters and will be enacted by one motion and one roll call vote of the Council. All motions and subsequent approvals of consent items will include all recommended staff stipulations unless otherwise stated. There will be no separate discussion of these items unless a councilmember or member of the public so requests. If a councilmember or member of the public wishes to discuss an item on the Consent Agenda, he/she may TOWN COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING MINUTES MARCH 19, 2019 PAGE 4 request so prior to the motion to accept the Consent Agenda or with notification to the Town Manager or Mayor prior to the date of the meeting for which the item was scheduled. The items will be removed from the Consent Agenda and considered in its normal sequence on the agenda. A. APPROVAL OF the minutes of the Special Meeting of March 5, 2019; and the Regular Meeting of March 5, 2019. B. CONSIDERATION OF approving an Extension of Premises Application submitted by Merita Kraya representing Euro Pizza Cafe located at 12645 North Saguaro Blvd, Fountain Hills, who will be hosting a beer garden in conjunction with Bone Haus Brewery on April 13, 2019.

CONSIDERATION OF approving a grant application for the Kompan playground matching funds grant for$50,000. Councilmember Magazine MOVED to approve Consent Agenda Items 7-A through 7-E; SECONDED by Councilmember Leckrone; passed unanimously. 8. REGULAR AGENDA A. CONSIDERATION OF adopting Resolution 2019-22 amending the McDowell Mountain Preservation Commission Bylaws. Mr. Miller said that the Council discussed Items 8-A and 8-B two meetings ago and this resolution amends the Bylaws of the McDowell Mountain Preservation Commission to provide for an eighth member as well as two emeritus positions. Councilmember Scharnow MOVED to adopt Resolution 2019-22; SECONDED by Councilmember Brown; passed unanimously. B. CONSIDERATION OF appointment of additional member to the McDowell Mountain Preservation Commission and possible designation of up to two emeritus members. Mayor Dickey MOVED to appoint Dr. Darrienne Slater to the McDowell Mountain Preservation Commission and designate Bill Myers and Bill Craig as Emeritus members; SECONDED by Councilmember Leckrone; passed unanimously. C. CONSIDERATION OF approving the Strategic Planning Advisory Commission recommended Reprioritization of the 2017 Strategic Plan. Mr. Miller explained that during the recent Council Retreat they spent a considerable amount of time going over the objectives and tasks in the Strategic Plan and the reprioritization recommended by the Strategic Plan Advisory Commission. He said that five members of that commission are at the meeting TOWN COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING MINUTES MARCH 19, 2019 PAGE 5 tonight and they are asking that the Council approve the reprioritization as presented. Mr. Miller said that there is going to be a visioning process taking place this summer that will be the impetus for the next total rewrite. The SPAC is scheduled to do a complete major update in 2020. Bob Shelstrom, Fountain Hills, voiced concern with the questions he had raised about justification for statements made in the Strategic Plan for which he received no answers. He commented on the need to address the schools and reported recent accounts of many students leaving the community to attend school elsewhere. He said that the Council needs to be asking questions or they just become a rubber stamp. Councilmembers thanked the members of the Strategic Plan Advisory Commission. Mayor Dickey noted that she has been taking the summary sheet to speaking engagements to show that they still have these goals, although some have been reprioritized. Discussion was held on the task related to density of housing, and that it referred to multifamily and affordable housing. John Kraft of the SPAC indicated that this centered around the Town's demographic mix. He said that with the vision that the Town has with schools being an intricate part of that they need a mix, and that begins with housing. They are looking for the Plan to recommend that the town consider appropriate development of homes for families, which means higher density. Councilmember Spelich said that he has a problem with criticizing the schools and using that criticism to say that 300 children in Fountain Hills don't attend school here to imply that the reason is the poor quality of education. There may be other reasons why students attend elsewhere, such as Catholic families wanting their children to attend a Catholic-based school. Councilmember Magazine said that he has no idea why students are going elsewhere, but his understanding is that they are receiving as many new students as they are losing each year. Vice Mayor Tolis said that he had the opportunity to spend the whole day with one of the leaders of the school district and discussed the challenges being faced. He said that he can vouch for all of his children have or continue to attend school in Fountain Hills and it is an excellent district; however, they do need to be concerned about the future of the community and the aging demographics. He said that the whole issue about the school district came up in the initial planning three years ago that they needed to have the Town more involved with the district. He said that they have had several joint meetings and he thinks it is already being reflected in their relationship. Councilmember Scharnow said that it also needs to be pointed out that the plan was not created in a vacuum. A lot of the Plan was developed after the visioning process through Town Halls. He said that these are goals, objectives and tasks. TOWN COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING MINUTES MARCH 19, 2019 PAGE 6 They do not need reams of data and statistics behind the goals. They are things they want to achieve and what the community told them they wanted to achieve. Vice Mayor Tolis said that it is nice to have the Strategic Plan, but with regard to the state trust land, if they do not focus on the downtown and commercial growth to provide what families desire, no developer is going to come in here; they have a real challenge. He recommended that they focus on what they have, determine what they have and be the best of it. Mayor Dickey said that the idea of schools was to draw younger families to the Town. She said that she did remembered hearing that while some students go elsewhere for schooling, the percentage of students doing that is comparable to the rest of the country. She said that she was very supportive that defining their Strategic Plan to include local schools and having the Town address and serve all of the ages is the task that went forward to the Town. Mayor Dickey MOVED to approve the reprioritization of the Strategic Plan as presented; SECONDED by Councilmember Brown; passed unanimously. D. CONSIDERATION OF approval of Job Order Contracts #2019-006 for trades related to construction and maintenance services, each in an amount up to $125,000.00, with the following vendors: Utility Construction Company, Inc.; REDHAWK SOLUTIONS, LLC; T&T Construction, Inc.; Carume Contracting Quality Construction, LLC; Johnson Carlier, LLC; GCON, Inc.; CORE Construction, Inc.; Caliente Construction; JP and Sons Contracting, Inc.; Vincon, LLC; LAN-CON, INC.; SWP Contracting and Paving; FCI Constructors, Inc.; Harison/Downey Construction, Inc.; and Builders Guild, Inc. Construction Professionals. Mr. Miller said that staff has a presentation on this item, but he wanted to give a little background. He said that they are a small organization and do not have a purchasing function in town. Each of the department directors oversees purchasing within their areas and every year they have challenges getting contracts in place for a variety of maintenance services. A few years ago they started working with the attorney to begin using a procedure that is used by many other communities called Job Order Contracting (JOC). Community Services Director Rachael Goodwin said that this is not limited to just community services, but throughout the organization. She then continued with a PowerPoint presentation which addressed: WHAT IS A JOC? It is a list of pre-vetted vendors that are "on call" for the town as needed •Preapproved — legal review and contacts in place •Paperwork is completed on the front end to save time when projects arise. • "Umbrella" Concept — by having a variety of vendors, we ensure availability and wide range of services Councilmember Magazine left the meeting at this time (6:17 p.m.) TOWN COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING MINUTES MARCH 19, 2019 PAGE 7 JOC'S ARE NOT FUNDED BY 'NEW" MONEY OR ADDITIONAL MONEY •Same money we would spend when issues or maintenance concerns arise • Funding is already in the budget, such as our standard maintenance items WHERE DOES THE MONEY COME FROM? Each vendor in the JOC is authorized for up to $125,000. That's a lot! •This limit does not imply there will be expenditures of that amount. •This JOC is meant to service all departments within the Town. •This also does not imply we will spend this maximum with each vendor. • If there is no funding, then it cannot be completed. We can't anticipate what job will come up. Examples include: •Plumbing Issues •Playground Damage •Avenue Fountain Pumps •HVAC •Storm Damage •Concrete Damage •Electrical Work HOW DOES THE JOB WORK? When we have a need arise: •Contact a vendor from the approved list •Request a quote/estimate •Review bid for cost, timeline and availability •Seek potential follow up from additional vendors if needed •Seek approvals as needed, based on expenditure level • Issue PO and proceed with work WHAT ARE THE RISKS? •This process does not change our check and balance mechanisms within our procurement policies. •Thresholds still in place and requires Council approval if over $50,000 •This is not intended to replace the procedures for large projects or new initiatives •Budget tracking requirements are still in place. BENEFITS Staff Efficiency: •When problem arises, we can address in days, not weeks •Does not need to wait on Town Attorney or Finance review •All the paperwork has already been done and the vendors have been approved Cost Savings: •Saves staff time producing individual contracts • Reduces workloads on Finance department to track each contract independently •Reduces workload and billable hours from legal Community Value: •Address community issues quickly •Show responsiveness TOWN COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING MINUTES MARCH 19, 2019 PAGE 8 •Build Trust and Reliability WHO SUPPORTS IT? •Finance •Town Attorney •Town Manager •Public Works Department •Community Services Department DOES ANYONE ELSE DO THIS? Yes— it is very common: •State /ADOT •City of Mesa •City of Phoenix •City of Scottsdale •City of Avondale 12 jobs this year/ 60 jobs in 5 years HOW DID WE GET THESE VENDORS 1. Issued RFP 2. Scored 3. Accepted all with minimum qualifications 4. Includes large scale and local vendors EXAMPLE SCENARIOS: •Sidewalk repair in the park •Irrigation leak •Post monsoon clean up •Damaged or leaking window in the Community Center •All need to be addressed but are not considered emergencies Councilmember Leckrone said that Ms. Goodwin provided a great presentation and it answered all of her questions. She said that she likes improvements that provide efficiency and effectiveness. Councilmember Brown asked what department directors' authority is with contracts. Ms. Goodwin said that if a bid came back at $3,500, it would be within her purview. She said that she could not remember that actual limit authority that department directors have available. Vice Mayor Tolis agreed that it was a great presentation. He said that he is always advocating for local businesses being preferred for jobs in town. He asked which vendors were from Fountain Hills. Staff replied that it was TNT Contracting and Carume Contracting. Vice Mayor Tolis asked if staff knew why more local vendors do not submit. Mr. Miller said that for a lot of local businesses, it can be a lot of work to complete the paperwork. Smaller businesses do not always respond to these. Ms. Goodwin noted that Mr. Arnson did help them simplify the contracts to make it easier for smaller businesses to respond. Mr. Miller said that sometimes it is TOWN COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING MINUTES MARCH 19, 2019 PAGE 9 the insurance requirements as well, but staff is trying to protect the Town and the taxpayers' interest. Mayor Dickey asked how they came up with the $125,000 number. Mr. Rudolphy said that there is a state statute that limits JOC contracts at anything under $250,000. He had spoken with the prior attorney and they did not believe it is realistic to bring a contract before Council at that amount, so they split it in half. Councilmember Spelich said that he received an e-mail from a constituent that said that they were basically authorizing staff to spend up to $125,000. Ms. Goodwin said that she could understand that concern, but they are not authorizing expenditures. This is to allow us the opportunity to work with these vendors up to that number. They can only spend what they have budgeted. Councilmember Spelich said that Ms. Goodwin did an excellent job. Bob Shelstrom, Fountain Hills, said that these are only as good as the evaluation off the bid. He believed that a large percentage of the contract was subjective. With those reservations, overall he felt is was a good concept. Ms. Goodwin said that they do not have the scoring sheets. They had 17 submissions and they accepted 15; one was late and one was incomplete. Councilmember Scharnow said that there are six broad categories and each category has a minimum of two contractors; he thought that was good. He had full faith and confidence in staff with their recommendation; he saw no need to see the score sheets. Councilmember Scharnow MOVED to approve the contracts as presented (Job Order Contracts #2019-006 for trades related to construction and maintenance services, each in an amount up to $125,000.00, with the following vendors: Utility Construction Company, Inc.; REDHAWK SOLUTIONS, LLC; T&T Construction, Inc.; Carume Contracting Quality Construction, LLC; Johnson Carlier, LLC; GCON, Inc.; CORE Construction, Inc.; Caliente Construction; JP and Sons Contracting, Inc.; Vincon, LLC; LAN-CON, INC.; SWP Contracting and Paving; FCI Constructors, Inc.; Harison/Downey Construction, Inc.; and Builders Guild, Inc. Construction Professionals); SECONDED by Councilmember Leckrone; passed unanimously. D. CONSIDERATION OF approving the third amendment to Cooperative Purchase Agreement C2017-045 with M.R. Tanner Development and Construction, Inc. for asphalt replacement and miscellaneous work in an amount not to exceed $8,500,000. THIS ITEM WAS REMOVED FROM THE AGENDA AT THE BEGINNING OF THE MEETING. E. DISCUSSION WITH POSSIBLE DIRECTION amending or repealing the Public Art ordinance. Mr. Miller said that this item was placed on the agenda as some of the members wanted to have a review of the public art program and ordinance as it was TOWN COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING MINUTES MARCH 19, 2019 PAGE 10 related to the fees. At this point, they will bring this back at a later time with additional information that has been requested, but he believed that Dori Wittrig with the Public Art Committee wished to address Council. Ms. Wittrig said that she wanted to let the Council know that they have been having discussions with staff on the future direction of the Public Arts Committee. She said that it was no secret that their community is fortunate to have had such a passionate group that believed in providing a public art collection with over 150 pieces located in prominent locations throughout town. She said that she is a realtor and every time shje has a new prospect she takes them in front of Centennial Center and tells them about the quality of the residents, the volunteerism, and the attitude of people. She said that it has a profound impact on them. Ms. Wittrig said that they have had a dedicated group for 25 years, but they are tired and deserve a break. In 2018 they had a new era of leadership begin with herself and Carol Carroll, who wanted to understand what the role of the committee should be. They deemed they wanted to 1) create more oversight by Town staff and the Town Council; and 2) create more diverse public art committee; and 3) create systems and procedures for public involvement. She said that the process in the past had been handled by a group of talented people, but much of it was not documented and the felt they needed a documented system. She is with the committee on a short-term basis to help organize and get it going in a different direction and then pull in some people that are more passionate about public art. She said that the committee hired a public art consultant who is creating suitable forms, bringing best practices from other groups. Her initial work was completed in 2019 and they met with Rachael Goodwin. They found during that time that the process reads more like ordinance and was not written with practice in mind and not best practices. They found that: 1) A maintenance contribution is common practice for municipalities where donators contribute a percentage of the value of the donated art for the future maintenance. 2) They wanted to improve processes for developers' contributions, as in Fountain Hills there has been some confusion about the execution and they need clearer and precise guidelines. She said that they hoped that the Town Council would allow them to guide the public art process and they were looking forward to working with the Town so that the collection will be preserved and relevant for future generations. Councilmember Spelich thanked her for her presentation and said that they recently met at the Kiwanis and mentioned that currently the Town incurs a cost of $22,000 a year for insurance and maintenance of the public art. He was very glad that they have taken it upon themselves to consider the maintenance. TOWN COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING MINUTES MARCH 19, 2019 PAGE 11 Councilmember Brown thanked Ms. Wittrig and said that they all have a lot of work to do. They might even hold a work session on this in the future. He said that he could not think of anyone better to take this over. Mayor Dickey said that they appreciated all of the work they are putting into this, especially as a charter member of the Public Art Committee. Councilmember Brown said that he did not feel they have enough information for the Council or committee to make a motion tonight. He would like to direct staff to put together a work session so they can discuss this openly, preferably before the Council break. F. DISCUSSION WITH POSSIBLE DIRECTION relating to any item included in the League of Arizona Cities and Towns' weekly Legislative Bulletin(s) or relating to any action proposed or pending before the State Legislature. Mr. Arnson said that he had nothing new to report. During the call last week they referenced several bills, but most directly applicable to Fountain Hills is HB2672, short-term rentals. Mayor Dickey said that it is scheduled to be in the Senate Commerce Committee, chaired by Michelle Ugenti-Rita. She said that the Town has already expressed support, but if individual Councilmembers would like to e- mail her they could express their appreciation for her support. Mayor Dickey said that Ugenti-Rita was also working on Appropriations, and there was a bill that was going to sweep HURF again, taking money off the top. She said that it has changed to a new bill and could actually mean $150,000 to $200,000 coming to Fountain Hills. Mayor Dickey said that she met earlier today with Captain Kratzer and were discussing S1165, hands-free phones, and it is moving forward. If members supported that they may want to voice their support as well. Mr. Miller noted that those cities/towns that have enacted their own hands-free ordinances would have a 12-month period before they would go away. 9. COUNCIL DISCUSSION/DIRECTION to the TOWN MANAGER Item(s) listed below are related only to the propriety of (i) placing such item (s) on a future agenda for action or (ii) directing staff to conduct further research and report back to the Council: None. 10. ADJOURNMENT. Councilmember Brown MOVED to adjourn; SECONDED by Councilmember Leckrone; passed unanimously.

Applicant: n/a Applicant Contact Information: n/a Owner: n/a Owner Contact Information: n/a Property Location: n/a Related Ordinance, Policy or Guiding Principle: Attract and retain quality staff. Staff Summary(background): In 2016 the Town joined the Arizona Metropolitan Trust (AzMT) for employee health benefits. The Trust works under three year contracts, so it is time to renew the Town's membership for another three years. There is no membership fee to join AzMT and the Town enjoys the benefit of reduced medical, dental, and vision insurance premiums for employees. The Town has spent, on average, approximately $320,000 yearly for these benefits over the past two years. Since joining AzMT the Town has saved approximately $100,000 per year for these benefits. The premiums are budgeted for each Town division as part of employee related expenses. This requested renewal would maintain the same arrangement for employee benefits for the next three years; at which time the Town would likely choose to renew again if past experience continues positively. Before joining AzMT the Town had been under the broker/provider model. Arizona Public Employers Health Pool (APEHP) provided medical benefits, United Concordia provided dental, and Sightcare provided vision coverage, and the Town paid a broker to coordinate and select vendors. By joining AzMT the Town eliminated the broker, saved money each year, and enhanced employee benefits. Open enrollment had previously been staggered with each benefit requiring open enrollment at different times throughout the year. Under AzMT open enrollment has been consolidated to once per year. COBRA (Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act, requiring optional continued coverage after employees cease service to the Town) administration was previously done in-house requiring administrative time; whereas COBRA administration is provided by AzMT currently. For these reasons, we recommend approval of the Town's renewal for another three-year term in AzMT. Risk Analysis (options or alternatives with implications): Insurance premiums would likely be higher if the Town were not members of AzMT.

Ori Owner Contact Information: N/A Property Location: Same Related Ordinance, Policy or Guiding Principle: N/A Staff Summary(background): This item on the Town Council's agenda is a proposal to abandon the pre-incorporation 10' Public Utility and Drainage Easement at the rear, and a portion of the 20' Public Utility and Drainage Easement at the northerly side, of Plat 428, Block 2, Lot 59. All of the public utilities have approved of abandonment of this easement. The applicant has submitted a building permit application (BP 2018-550)to construct a shed in his rear yard and a new retaining wall/pool fence wall along the southerly side of the lot, both lying partially within the existing rear easement. Staff's plan review comments had required the applicant to obtain this abandonment of the rear easement, prior to approval of that building permit application. Staff has reviewed the site to determine any on-site drainage issues in addition to the Town's general interest in the easement. There is no need for the Town to retain the drainage easement proposed to be abandoned at the rear of the property and at the inner 15' width of the northerly side easement, with the understanding that the owners of Lot 59 are required to pass the developed flows generated by the upstream lots across their property. Because of the proximity of the very steep slope down to Oxford Wash, Staff recommends retaining the northerly 5' of the northerly side's 20' PUE/DE. (This will align with the Drainage Easement previously retained on Lot 62, which lies at the rear of this lot. (MCR 1994-0849300.)This proposed retained easement lies generally outside of the applicant's existing northerly perimeter wall.)

The Contractor's failure to seek a renewal of this Agreement shall cause this Agreement to terminate at the end of the then-current term of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Town may, at its discretion and with the agreement of the Contractor, elect to waive this requirement and renew this Agreement. The Initial Term and any Renewal Term(s) are collectively referred to herein as the "Term."Upon renewal, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. 2.

The agenda item was placed on the consent agenda and approved with a stipulation that the property owners grant a 10' x 10' public utility easement (front yard) at the westerly front corner of the lot, for existing and potential future utility boxes. Ms. Stasi contacted the Mayor and staff to understand why the Town required the property owners to grant a public utility easement in their front yard in exchange for the Town granting the public utility and drainage easement to the rear of the yard. In discussing this matter with the Town Engineer, it became clear that the town has requested similar easements in the past from other applicants who had requested abandonment of public utility and drainage easements. However, in looking at the specific situation, it is not clear why the Town was seeking the property owners to grant the easement in the front yard for this particular case. The applicants pointed out that they would have attended the Council meeting to request the removal of the stipulation had they known that it was on the agenda for February 19, 2019. Based on a review of the matter, I am requesting that the Town Council remove the stipulation requiring the property owners to grant the public utility easement in the front yard.

Staff Summary (background): The Town currently has a backhoe that is twenty years old. The backhoe is utilized for a variety of important maintenance activities for the Town. This purchase is in compliance with the Vehicle Replacement Policy. The purpose of the Vehicle Replacement Program Policy adopted by Town Council is to provide an authoritative decision- making process for the evaluation, selection, and multi-year scheduling of vehicle replacements based on a projection of available fiscal resources and the vehicle's age, mileage, engine hours and repair costs. The objectives of the program are to: • Ensure the timely purchase, repair and replacement of the Town's vehicles; • Serve as a link in the Town's planning between the Town's operating and capital budgets; • Maintain control over the Town's long-term cash flow in relation to the Town's financial capacity; and • Ensure efficient, effective and coordinated vehicle acquisition and replacement. Per the Vehicle Replacement Program Policy, the guidelines below shall be utilized. Vehicles may also be replaced due to excessive maintenance and repair costs. Tractor/Loaders: 20 years Vehicles being replaced will be sent to auction with the proceeds being deposited into the Vehicle Replacement Fund.

ABOUT NJPA 3_1 The National Joint Powers Alliance®(NJPA)is a public agency serving as a national municipal contracting agency established under the Service Cooperative statute by Minnesota Legislative Statute §123A.21 with the authority to develop and offer,among other services, cooperative procurement services to its membership. Eligible membership and participation includes states, cities, counties, all government agencies, both public and non-public educational agencies, colleges, universities and non-profit organizations. 3.2 Under the authority of Minnesota state laws and enabling legislation,NJPA facilitates a competitive bidding and contracting process on behalf of the needs of itself and the needs of current and potential member agencies nationally. This process results in national procurement contracts with various Vendors of products/equipment and services which NJPA Member agencies desire to procure. These procurement contracts are created in compliance with applicable Minnesota Municipal Contracting Laws. A complete listing of NJPA cooperative procurement contracts can be found at www.nipacoop.org. 3_3 NJPA is a public agency governed by publicly elected officials that serve as the NJPA Board of Directors.NJPA's Board of Directors calls for all proposals,awards all Contracts,and hosts those resulting Contracts for the benefit of its own and its Members use. 3.3.1 Subject to Approval of the NJPA Board:NJPA contracts are awarded by the action of NJPA Board of Directors. This action is based on the open and competitive bidding process facilitated by NJPA. The evaluation and resulting recommendation is presented to the Board of Directors by the NJPA Proposal Evaluation Committee. 3_4 NJPA currently serves over 50,000 member agencies nationally.Both membership and utilization of NJPA contracts continue to expand, due in part to the increasing acceptance of Cooperative Purchasing throughout the government and education communities nationally. B.JOINT EXERCISE OF POWERS LAWS 3.5 NJPA cooperatively shares those contracts with its Members nationwide through various Joint Exercise of Powers Laws or Cooperative Purchasing Statutes established in Minnesota, other States and Canadian Provinces.The Minnesota Joint Exercise of Powers Law is Minnesota Statute §471.59 which states"Two or more governmental units...may jointly or cooperatively exercise any power common to the contracting parties..." This Minnesota Statute allows NJPA to serve Member agencies located in all other states. Municipal agencies nationally have the ability to participate in cooperative purchasing activities as a result of specific laws of their own state. These laws can be found on our website at http://www.ni pacoop.org/national-cooperative-contract-solutions/legal-authority/. 4 C. WHY RESPOND TO A NATIONAL COOPERATIVE PROCUREMENT CONTRACT 3_6 National Cooperative Procurement Contracts create value for Municipal and Public Agencies,as well as for Vendors of products/equipment and services in a variety of ways: 3.6.1 National cooperative contracts potentially save the time and effort of Municipal and Public Agencies who would have been otherwise charged with soliciting vendor responses to individual RFP's, resulting in individual contracts, to meet the procurement needs of their respective agencies. Considerable time and effort is also potentially saved by the Vendors who would have had to otherwise respond to each of those individual RFPs. A single, nationally advertised RFP, resulting in a single, national cooperative contract can potentially replace thousands of individual RFPs for the same equipment/products/services that might have been otherwise advertised by individual NJPA member agencies. 3.6.2 NJPA contracts offer our Members nationally leveraged volume purchasing discounts. Our contract terms and conditions offer the opportunity for Vendors to recognize individual member procurement volume commitment through additional volume based contract discounts. 3_7 State laws that permit or encourage cooperative purchasing contracts do so with the belief that cooperative efficiencies will result in lower prices,better overall value, and considerable time savings. 3.8 The collective purchasing power of thousands of NJPA Member agencies nationwide offers the opportunity for volume pricing discounts. Although no sales or sales volume is guaranteed by an NJPA Contract resulting from this RFP, substantial volume is anticipated and volume pricing is requested and justified. 3.9 NJPA and its Members desire the best value for their procurement dollar as well as a competitive price. Vendors have the opportunity to display and highlight value added attributes of their company, equipment/products and services without constraints of a typical individual proposal process. D. THE INTENT OF THIS RFP 3.10.National contract awarded by the NJPA Board of Directors: NJPA seeks the most responsive and responsible Vendor relationship(s)to reflect the best interests of NJPA and its Member agencies. Through a competitive proposal and evaluation process,the NJPA Proposal Evaluation Committee reviews and recommends vendors for to award a national contract by the action of the NJPA Board of Directors.

The contracts will be marketed nationally through a cooperative effort between the awarded vendor(s)and NJPA. Contracts are expected to offer price levels reflective of the potential and collective volume of NJPA and the nationally established NJPA membership base. 3.11 Beyond our primary intent,NJPA further desires to: 3.11.1 Award a four year term contract with a fifth year contract option resulting from this RFP; 3.11.2 Offer and apply any applicable technological advances throughout the term of a contract resulting from this RFP 3.11.3 Deliver "Value Added" aspects of the company, equipment/products and services as defined in the"Proposer's Response"; 5 3.11.4 Deliver wide spectrums of solutions to meet the needs and requirement of NJPA and NJPA Member agencies. 3.11.5 Award an exclusive contract to the most responsive and responsible vendor when it is deemed to be in the best interest of NJPA and the NJPA Member agencies 3.12 Exclusive or Multiple Awards: Based on the goals and scope of this RFP, NJPA is requesting responders to demonstrate their ability to serve the needs of NJPA's national membership.

If Proposer's solution requires additional supporting documentation, describe where it can be found in your submission. If Proposer offers the solution in an alternative fashion, describe your solution to be easily understood. All pricing must be copied on a CD or thumb drive along with other requested information as a part of a Proposer's Response. 5.3 Regardless of the payment method selected by NJPA or NJPA Member,a total cost associated with any purchase option of the equipment/products and services and being supplied must always be disclosed at the time of purchase. 5_4 All Proposers will be required to submit "Primary Pricing" in the form of either"Line-Item Pricing," or"Percentage Discount from Catalog Pricing,"or a combination of these pricing strategies. Proposers are also encouraged to offer OPTIONAL pricing strategies such as but not limited to "Hot List," "Sourced Product/Equipment" and "Volume Discounts," as well as financing options such as leasing. All pricing documents should include an effective date, preferably in the top right corner of the first page of each pricing document. A.LINE-ITEM PRICING 5_5 A pricing format where specific individual products and/or services are offered at specific individual Contract prices. Products/equipment and/or related services are individually priced and described by characteristics such as manufacture name, stock or part number, size, or functionality. This method of pricing offers the least amount of confusion as products/equipment and prices are individually identified however, Proposers with a large number of products/equipment to propose may find this method cumbersome. In these situations,a percentage discount from catalog or category pricing model may make more sense and increase the clarity of the contract pricing format. 5_6 All Line-Item Pricing items must be numbered, organized, sectioned, including SKU's (when applicable)and easily understood by the Evaluation Committee and members. 5_7 Submit Line-Item Pricing items in an Excel spreadsheet format and include all appropriate identification information necessary to discern the line item from other line items in each Responder's proposal. 5.8 The purpose for a searchable excel spreadsheet format for Line-Item Pricing is to be able to quickly find any particular item of interest. For that reason,Proposers are responsible for providing the appropriate product and service identification information along with the pricing information which is typically found on an invoice or price quote for such products/equipment and related services. 15 5_9 All products/equipment and related services typically appearing on an invoice or price quote must be individually priced and identified on the line-item price sheet,including any and all ancillary costs. 5.10 Proposers are asked to provide both a published"List"price as well as a"Proposed Contract Price"in their pricing matrix. Published List price will be the standard"quantity of one"price currently available to government and educational customers excluding cooperative and volume discounts. B.PERCENTAGE DISCOUNT FROM CATALOG OR CATEGORY 5.11 A specific percentage discount from a Catalog or List price" defined as a published Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price(MSRP)for the products/equipment or related services being proposed. 5.12 Individualized percentage discounts can be applied to any number of defined product groupings. 5.13 A Percentage Discount from MSRP may be applied to all elements identified in MSRP including all Manufacturer Options applicable to the equipment/products or related services. 5.14 When a Proposer elects to use "Percentage Discount from Catalog or Category," Proposer will be responsible for providing and maintaining current published MSRP with NJPA and must be included in their proposal and provided throughout the term of any Contract resulting from this RFP. C. COST PLUS A PERCENTAGE OF COST 5.15 Cost plus a percentage of cost as a primary pricing mechanism is not desirable. D. HOT LIST PRICING 5.16 Where applicable,a Vendor may opt to offer a specific selection of products/services,defined as Hot List pricing at greater discounts or related advantages than those listed in the standard Contract pricing. All product/service pricing, including the Hot List Pricing,must be submitted electronically provided in Excel format. Hot List pricing must be submitted in a Line-Item format.Equipment/products and related services may be added or removed from the "Hot List" at any time through an NJPA Price and Product Change Form. 5.17 Hot List program and pricing when applicable may also be used to discount and liquidate close-out and discontinued equipment/products and related services as long as those close-out and discontinued items are clearly labeled as such. Current ordering process and administrative fees apply. This option must be published and made available to all NJPA Members. E.CEILING PRICE 5.18 Proposal pricing is to be established as a ceiling price. At no time may the proposed equipment/products and related services be offered pursuant to this Contract at prices above this ceiling price without request and approval by NJPA. Contract prices may be reduced to allow for volume considerations and commitments and to meet the specific and unique needs of an NJPA Member. 5.19 Allowable specific needs may include competitive situations,certain purchase volume commitments or the creation of custom programs based on the individual needs of NJPA Members. F.VOLUME PRICE DISCOUNTS/ADDITIONAL QUANTITIES 5.20 Proposers are free to offer volume commitment discounts from the contract pricing documented in a Contract resulting from this RFP. Volume considerations shall be determined between the Vendor and individual NJPA Members on a case-by-case basis. 16 5.21 Nothing in this Contract establishes a favored member relationship between the NJPA or any NJPA Member and the Vendor. The Vendor will,upon request by NJPA Member,extend this same reduced price offered or delivered to another NJPA Member provided the same or similar volume commitment,specific needs, terms, and conditions, a similar time frame, seasonal considerations, locations, competitively situations and provided the same manufacturer support is available to the Vendor. 5.22 All price adjustments are to be offered equally to all NJPA Members exhibiting the same or substantially similar characteristics such as purchase volume commitments, and timing including the availability of special pricing from the Vendor's suppliers. 5.23 The contract awarded vendor will accept orders for additional quantities at the same prices,terms and conditions,providing the NJPA Member exercises the option before a specific date, mutually agreed upon between member and contract awarded vendor at time of original purchase order. Any extension(s) of pricing beyond the specific date shall be upon mutual consent between the NJPA Member and the contract awarded vendor. G. TOTAL COST OF ACQUISITION 5.24 The Total Cost of Acquisition for the equipment/products and related services being proposed, including those payable by NJPA Members to either the Proposer or a third party is the cost of the proposed equipment/products product/equipment and related services delivered and operational for its intended purpose in the end-user's location. For example,if you are proposing equipment/products FOB Proposer's dock., your proposal should identify your deviation from the "Total Cost of Acquisition" of contracted equipment/products. The Proposal should reflect that the "contract does not provide for delivery beyond Proposer's dock, nor any set-up activities or costs associated with those delivery or set-up activities." In contrast, proposed terms including all costs for product/equipment and services delivered and operational at to the end-user's location would require a disclosure of"None." H. SOURCED PRODUCT/EQUIPMENT/OPEN MARKET ITEMS 5.25 A Sourced Good or an Open Market Item is a product that a member wants to buy under contract that is not currently available under the Vendor's NJPA contract. This method of procurement can be satisfied through a contract sourcing process. Sourcing options serve to provide a more complete contract solution to meet our members' needs. Sourced items are generally deemed incidental to the total transaction or purchase of contract items. 5.26 NJPA or NJPA Members may request product/equipment and/or related services that are within the related scope of this RFP,which are not included in an awarded Vendor's line-item product/equipment and related service list or catalog.These items are known as Sourced Product/Equipment or Open Market Items. 5.27 An awarded Vendor resulting from this RFP may "Source" equipment/products and related services for NJPA or an NJPA Member to the extent they: 5.27.1 Identify all such equipment, products and services as "Sourced Products/Equipment " or "Open Market Items" on any quotation issued in reference to an NJPA awarded contract, and provided to either NJPA or an NJPA Member;and 5.27.2 Follow all applicable acquisition regulations pertaining to the purchase of such equipment, products and services,as defined by NJPA or NJPA Member receiving quotation from Vendor;and 5.27.3 Ensure NJPA or the NJPA Member has determined the prices as quoted by the Vendor for such equipment,products and services are deemed to be fair and reasonable and are acceptable to the member/buyer; and 17 5.27.4 Identify all product/equipment sourced as a part of an NJPA contract purchase with all required NJPA reporting and fees applying. 5.28 Cost plus a percentage is an option in pricing of sourced goods. I.PRODUCT&PRICE CHANGES 5.29 Requests for equipment/products or service changes,additions or deletions will be allowed at any time throughout the awarded contract term. All requests must be made in written format by completing the NJPA Price and Product Change Request Form (located at the end of this RFP and on the NJPA website) and signature of an authorized Vendor employee. All changes are subject to review and approval by the NJPA Contracts & Compliance Manager, signed in acceptance by the NJPA Executive Director and acknowledged by the NJPA Contract Council. Submit request via email to your Contract Manager and PandP@njpacoop.org. 5.30 NJPA's due diligence in analyzing any request for change is to determine if approval of the request is: 1) within the scope of the original RFP and 2) in the "Best Interests of NJPA and NJPA Members." A signed Price and Product Change form will be returned to vendor contact via email. 5.31 Vendor must complete this change request form and individually list or attach all items or services subject to change,provide sufficiently detailed explanation and documentation for the change,and include a compete restatement of pricing document in appropriate format(preferably Excel). The pricing document must identify all equipment/products and services being offered and must conform to the following NJPA product/price change naming convention: (Vendor Name)(NJPA Contract#)(effective pricing date); for example,"COMPANY 012411-CPY eff 02-12-2013." 5.32 New pricing restatement must include all equipment/products and services offered regardless of whether their prices have changed and include a new "effective date" on the pricing documents. This requirement reduces confusion by providing a single, current pricing sheet for each vendor and creates a historical record of pricing. 5.33 ADDITIONS. New equipment/products and related services may be added to a contract if such additions are within the scope of the RFP.New equipment/products and related services may be added to a Contract resulting from this RFP at any time during that Contract to the extent those equipment/products and related services are within the scope of this RFP. Those requests are subject to review and approval of NJPA. Allowable new equipment/products and related services generally include new updated models of equipment/products and related services and or enhanced services previously offered which could reflect new technology and improved functionality. 5.34 DELETIONS. New equipment/products and related services may be deleted from a contract if an item or service is no longer available and thus not relevant to the contract;for example,discontinued,improved, etc. 5.35 PRICE CHANGES: Request prices changes in general terms along with the justification by product category for the change; for example, a 3% increase in XYZ Product Line is due to a 3% increase in petroleum,or this list of SKUs/product descriptions is increasing X%due to X%increase in cost of raw materials. 5.35.1 Price decreases: NJPA expects Vendors to propose their very best prices and anticipates price reductions are due to advancement of technologies and market place efficiencies. 5.35.2 Price increases: Typical acceptable increase requests include increases to Vendor input costs such as petroleum or other applicable commodities, increases in product utility of new compared to old equipment/product or service,etc. Vendor must include reasonable documentation for the claims cited in their request along with detailed justification for why the increase is needed. 18 Special details for price changes must be included with the request along with both current and proposed pricing. Appropriate documentation should be attached to this form, including letters from suppliers announcing price increases. Price increases will not exceed industry standard. 5.36 Submit the following documentation to request a pricing change: 5.36.1 Signed NJPA Price and Product Change Form 5.36.2 Single Statement of Pricing Excel spreadsheet identifying all equipment/products and services being offered and their pricing. Each complete pricing list will be identified by its "Effective Date." Each successive price listing identified by its "Effective Date" will create a "Product and Price History"for the Contract. Each subsequent pricing update will be saved using the naming convention of"(Vendor Name)pricing effective XX/XX/XXXX." 5.36.2.1 Include all equipment/products and services regardless of whether their prices have changed. By observing this convention we will: 5.36.2.1.1 Reduce confusion by providing a single, easy to find, current pricing sheet for each Vendor. 5.36.2.1.2 Create a historical record of pricing. 5.37 NJPA reserves the right to review additional catalogs being proposed as additions or replacements to determine if the represented products and services reflect and relate to the scope of this RFP. Each new catalog received may have the effect of adding new product offerings and deleting products no longer carried by the Vendor. New catalogs shall apply to the Contract only upon approval of the NJPA. Non- approved use of catalogs may result in termination for convenience. New price lists or catalogs found to be offering non-contract items during the Contract may be grounds for terminating the Contract for convenience. 5.38 Proposers representing multiple manufacturers, or carrying multiple related product lines may also request the addition of new manufacturers or product lines to their Contract to the extent they remain within the scope of this RFP. 5.39 Proposers may use the multiple tabs available in an Excel workbook to separately list logical product groupings or to separately list product and service pricing as they see fit. 5.40 All equipment/products and services together with their pricing, whether changed within the request or remaining unchanged, will be stated on each "Pricing" sheet created as a result of each request for product,service,or pricing change. 5.41 Each subsequent "Single Statement of Product and Pricing" will be archived by its effective date therefore creating a product and price history for any Contract resulting from this RFP. Proposers are required to create a historical record of pricing annually by submitting updated pricing referred to as a "Single Statement of Product/Equipment and Related Services Contract Price Update".This pricing update is required at a minimum of once per contract year. J.PAYMENT TERMS 5.42 Payment terms will be defined by the Proposer in the Proposer's Response.Proposers are encouraged to offer payment terms through P Card services if applicable. 5.43 If applicable, identify any leasing programs available to NJPA and NJPA Members as part of your proposal.

K. SALES TAX 5.44 Sales and other taxes shall not be included in the prices quoted. Vendor will charge state and local sales and other taxes on items for which a valid tax exemption certification has not been provided. Each NJPA Member is responsible for providing verification of tax exempt status to the Vendor.When ordering, NJPA Members must indicate that they are tax exempt entities. Except as set forth herein, no party shall be responsible for taxes imposed on another party as a result of or arising from the transactions contemplated by a Contract resulting from this RFP. L. SHIPPING 5.45 NJPA desires an attractive freight program. A shipping program for material only proposals, or sections of proposals, must be defined as a part of the cost of equipment/products. If shipping is charged to NJPA or NJPA Member, only the actual cost of delivery may be added to an invoice. Shipping charges calculated as a percentage of the product price may not be used, unless such charges are lower than actual delivery charges. COD orders will be accepted if both parties agree. It is desired that delivery be made within ninety-days(90)of receipt of the Purchase Order. 5.46 Selection of a carrier for shipment or expedited shipping will be the option of the party paying for said shipping.

PROPOSAL EVALUATION PROCESS 6.1 The NJPA Proposal Evaluation Committee will evaluate proposals received based on a 1,000 point evaluation system. The Committee establishes both the evaluation criteria and designates the relative importance of those criteria by assigning possible scores for each category on Form G of this RFP. 6.2 NJPA shall use a final overall scoring system to include consideration for best price and cost evaluation. NJPA reserves the right to assign any number of point awards or penalties it considers warranted if a Proposer stipulates exceptions, exclusions, or limitations of liabilities. Strong consideration will be given to the best price as it relates to the quality of the product and service. However,price is ultimately only one of the factors taken into consideration in the evaluation and award. 6_3 Responses will be evaluated first for responsiveness and thereafter for content. The NJPA Board of Directors will make awards to the selected Proposer(s) based on the recommendations of the Proposal Evaluation Committee. To qualify for the final evaluation, a Proposer must have been deemed responsive as a result of the criteria set forth under"Proposer Responsiveness." B.PROPOSER RESPONSIVENESS 6.4 All responses are evaluated for level one and level two responsiveness. If a response does not reasonably and substantially conform to all the terms and conditions in the solicitation or it requests unreasonable exceptions, it may be considered non-responsive. 6.5 All proposals must contain answers or responses to the information requested in the proposal forms. The following items constitute the test for"Level One Responsiveness"and are determined on the proposal opening date.If these are not received,your response may be disqualified as non-responsive. 21 6_6 Level One Responsiveness includes: 6.6.1 received prior to the deadline for submission or it will be returned unopened; 6.6.2 properly addressed and identified as a sealed proposal with a specific opening date and time; 6.6.3 pricing document (with apparent discounts), sample certificate of liability insurance and all forms fully completed even if "not applicable"is the answer; 6.6.4 original signed, completed and dated RFP forms C,D, and F hard copy signed signature page Only from forms A and P from this RFP and if applicable,all counter signed addenda issued in relation to this RFP; 6.6.5 an electronic copy(CD or flash drive)of the entire response;and 6.6.6 falls within the scope as determined by the NJPAs Proposal Evaluation Committee. 6.7 "Level Two" responsiveness is determined through the evaluation of the remaining items listed under Proposal Evaluation Criteria below. These items are not arranged in order of importance and each item may encompass multiple areas of information requested. Any questions not answered will result in a loss of points from relevant Form G criteria and may lead to non-award if too many areas are unanswered resulting in the inability for evaluation team to effectively review your response. C. PROPOSAL EVALUATION CRITERIA 6.8 Evaluation Criteria:Forms A and P includes a series of questions encompassing,but not limited to,the following categories: 6.8.1 Company Information&Financial Strength 6.8.2 Industry Requirements&Marketplace Success 6.8.3 Ability to Sell&Deliver Service Nationwide 6.8A Marketing Plan 6.8.5 Other Cooperative Procurement Contracts 6.8.6 Value Added Attributes 6.8.7 Payment Terms&Financing Options 6.8.8 Warranty 6.8.9 Equipment/Products/Services 6.8.10 Pricing&Delivery 6.8.11 Industry Specific Items 6.9 Evaluation of each Proposer's Response will take into consideration as a minimum response but not necessarily limited to these items.

Ultimately, Past Performance Information can be defined as the Proposer's businesslike concern for the interests of the NJPA Member. 6.15 NJPA shall reserve the right to reject any or all proposals. E. COST COMPARISON 6.16 NJPA uses a variety of evaluation methodologies, including but not limited to a cost comparison of specific and deemed to be like equipment/products.NJPA reserves the right to use this process in the event the Proposal Evaluation Committee feels it is necessary to make a final determination. 6.17 This process will be based on a point system with points being awarded for being low to high Proposer for each cost evaluation item selected. A "Market Basket" of identical (or substantially similar) equipment/products and related services may be selected by the NJPA Evaluation Committee and the unit cost will be used as a basis for determining the point value. The"Market Basket"will be selected by NJPA from all product categories as determined appropriate by NJPA.

Vendor must complete this change request form and individually list or attach all items or services subject to change,provide sufficiently detailed explanation and documentation for the change,and include a compete restatement of pricing document in appropriate format (preferably Excel). The pricing document must identify all equipment/products and services being offered and must conform to the following NJPA product/price change naming convention: (Vendor Name)(NJPA Contract #)(effective pricing date);for example,"COMPANY 012411-CPY eff 02-12-2013." NOTE: New pricing restatement must include all equipment/products and services offered regardless of whether their prices have changed and include a new"effective date" on the pricing documents.

New equipment/products and related services may be deleted from a contract if an item or service is no longer available and thus not relevant to the contract;for example, discontinued, improved,etc. PRICE CHANGES: Request prices changes in general terms along with the justification by product category for the change; for example, a 3% increase in XYZ Product Line is due to a 3% increase in petroleum, or this list of SKUs/ product descriptions is increasing X%due to X%increase in cost of raw materials. Price decreases: NJPA expects Vendors to propose their very best prices and anticipates price reductions are due to advancement of technologies and market place efficiencies. Price increases: Typical acceptable increase requests include increases to Vendor input costs such as petroleum or other applicable commodities, increases in product utility of new compared to old equipment/products or service, etc. Vendor must include reasonable documentation for the claims cited in their request along with detailed justification for why the increase is needed.

AGENDA ACTION FORM that ism "o Meeting Date: 4/2/2019 Meeting Type: Regular Session Agenda Type: Regular Submitting Department: Administration Staff Contact Information: Grady E. Miller, Town Manager REQUEST TO COUNCIL (Agenda Language): DISCUSSION WITH POSSIBLE DIRECTION TO STAFF regarding citizens wishing to sponsor a Christmas Tree on the Avenue of the Fountains in honor of first responders. Applicant: N/A Applicant Contact Information: N/A Owner: N/A Owner Contact Information: N/A Property Location: Avenue of the Fountains Park Related Ordinance, Policy or Guiding Principle: N/A Staff Summary(background): Two years ago the Town included for the first time a fifteen foot Christmas tree in the Sharon Morgan Plaza located at Avenue of the Fountains and Saguaro. Since that time the tree has become very popular with visitors and families who like to have their photographs taken by the tree with the fountain in the background. Recently, Lina Bellenir and Bob Scarpetti approached Community Services Director Rachael Goodwin and me about the concept of a Christmas tree on Avenue of the Fountains in honor of first responders. Their idea would be to have a similar tree located at Avenue of the Fountains and Verde River on the east or west facing plaza area. The tree would have decorations on it to symbolize and recognize first responders such as police, fire, emergency medical, and other personnel who engage in public safety activities for the protection of the community, region, and country. The annual cost for the holiday decorations on the Avenue of the Fountains is approximately $35,000. Since there is no additional funding in the FY 2019-20 budget for this purpose, the Community Services Director and I explained that it would likely be necessary for Ms. Bellenir and Mr. Scarpetti to fundraise for the $8,000 to offset the cost of the Christmas tree, if the Town Council approved of the idea. The annual $8,000 includes the cost of delivery, set up, decorating, and removing the tree following the holiday season. Due to the need to have this decision made very soon in order to reserve another Christmas Tree in time for the holiday season and for Ms. Bellenir and Mr. Scarpetti to have sufficient time to fundraise for the project, it was necessary to bring this item before the Town Council at this time. Risk Analysis (options or alternatives with implications): N/A Fiscal Impact (initial and ongoing costs; budget status): Annually, $8,000 Budget Reference (page number): N/A Page 1 of 2 Funding Source: NA If Multiple Funds utilized, list here: N/A Budgeted; if No, attach Budget Adjustment Form: NA Recommendation(s) by Board(s) or Commission(s): N/A Staff Recommendation(s): That the Town Council provide direction in approving or denying the request for the Christmas Tree honoring First Responders. List Attachment(s): N/A SUGGESTED MOTION (for Council use): Move to approve (or deny) a request for a Christmas Tree to be located in the plaza area on Avenue of the Fountains near Verde River for the purpose of honoring First Responders; and if approved, direct the requestors to fundraise for the Christmas Tree and coordinate the project with Town staff.
