The College’s assessment of this contract is that both the quality and cost of services are highly competitive and therefore avoiding the cost of an independent bid is warranted. Contract Period Annual Brokerage Fees May 1, 2007 – April 30, 2008 $21,000.00 May 1, 2008 – April 30, 2009 22,000.00 2 Year Total $43,000.00 4 Funding All expenditures will be paid from current operating budgets.

Description Both new trucks will be assigned to the Physical Facilities Departments at the Florissant Valley and Forest Park campuses where they will be used in the course of routine daily grounds work. One (1) truck currently in the College’s inventory will be re-assigned to the Wildwood campus. The remaining truck will be disposed of through the College’s surplus property disposal process. The College normally acquires vehicles through the State of Missouri contracts in order to take advantage of the manufacturer’s discounted pricing generally made available only to large public agencies. Funding These vehicles will be purchased from current capital budgets: FY 2006-2007 (Capital Budget; Tab A, Section 5, Vehicle Replacement – Page 6). 5 Advertisements The bid and award process, including placement of all advertisements, are managed by the State of Missouri Division of Purchasing. 4.1.5 Recommendation for Award/Purchasing Board Meeting 3/29/07 Board approval is requested for the purchase of two (2) Metrohm titrator systems with related workcell software packages from BRINKMAN INSTRUMENTS, INC., in the amount of $25,164.00. Description The recommended vendor is the sole distributor of all Metrohm titration equipment - the only product currently available that is compatible with the software and equipment currently in use in the Chemistry Department’s Chemical Technology courses at the Florissant Valley campus. This program provides instruction to students in the performance of accurate automatic titrations. The purchase of these two (2) additional systems will increase the equipment from three (3) to five (5) systems, which in turn will reduce the student-to-instrument ratio from 15:1 to 9:1. This improvement in student access to the equipment will expand the quality of classroom instruction in areas of production of chemical reactions, measurement of pH, neutralization of solutions and measurement of the water content of samples. Brinkman Instruments, Inc. is neither a known minority-owned nor a known woman-owned business enterprise. 6 Item Metrohm Titrino Automatic Titrator System to include the following components: a) Model #798/A20 with A/20 package b) Model # #806-10mL Exchange Unit c) Karl Fisher Volumetric Titration Cell d) Brinkman Workcell 4.4 CD-Rom Software Qty Cost Per System Total Cost 2 $12,582.00 $25,164.00 Funding This purchase will be funded from RTEC- 2007 Missouri targeted funds. Advertisements The College posts all open competitive bid opportunities on its WEB page and, in compliance with Board policy, also places advertisements on those bids estimated to exceed $75,000.00. Advertisements are not run on items available from only one source. 4.1.6 Recommendation for Award/Purchasing Board Meeting 3/29/07 Board of Trustee approval is requested to amend an award to AUTOMATED PRODUCTION SYSTEMS, INC., for the purchase of an automated electronic loading system with related tools and accessories to be used for classroom and laboratory instruction by the Electrical Engineering Department at Florissant Valley. This original award was approved by the Board of Trustees on February 17, 2007, Agenda Item 4.1.3, in an amount not to exceed $55,167.00. Additional quantities of accessories and tools are now needed for the program – quantities that were not included in the original award recommendation. Purchase of these additional items from this vendor would increase the bid award by $10,044 and revise the total acquisition cost from $55,167 to $65,211. The two other bids originally received were reviewed with the cost of the additional equipment added. Their revised costs would increase from $60,885 to $71,955 and $62,920 to $74,200, respectively. Therefore, Automated Production Systems, Inc. remains the lowest compliant bidder. Current approved award amount: Requested approval of additional funds: Revised total purchase expenditure: $55,167.00 +$10,044.00 $65,211.00 7 Funding As with the initial request, these additional purchases will be funded from State of Missouri RTEC Targeted Funds. Advertisements The College posts all open competitive bid opportunities on its WEB page and, in compliance with Board policy, also places newspaper advertisements on those bids estimated to exceed $75,000.00. 4.1.7 Recommendation for Award/Purchasing Board Meeting 3/29/07 The Board of Trustees originally approved Contract B0002050 with Treat America Food Services on April 27, 2006 for a three-year period beginning August 15, 2006. The contract also provided for three (3) one-year renewals. This award was made based upon a 10 percent commission paid to the College for snack vending with no subsidy required for food service. The annual vending commission is estimated at $25,000. Treat America has experienced losses between August 15, 2006 and January 1, 2007 of approximately $116,205. It is recommended that the College provide a subsidy to Treat America of $6,000 per month beginning January 1, 2007 through August 15, 2008, for a total cost of $120,000. This period will allow the College to evaluate the continued relationship with the vendor and/or prepare to rebid the contract. Background Prior to the 2006 award to Treat America Food Services, the College’s previous food service provider had been subsidized over a 60-month period at a rate of $12,472 per month. During the 2006 bid process, only three vendors responded to the College’s request-for-proposal for unsubsidized operation of the College’s food service operation. The College is not in position to bid food service and have a provider in place for Fall 2007. It is recommended that a subsidy be put in place to support the current provider, that performance improvement measures which control cost continue to be pursued, and that a decision on the longer-term future of this contract be made in January 2008. 8 4.1.8 Recommendation for Award/Purchasing Board Meeting 3/29/07 Board approval is requested for the award of a supplemental professional services agreement from BLACKBOARD, for a period of twelve (12) months, to begin April 1, 2007, in an amount not to exceed $150,000.00.

The primary reason for the increase is due to local taxes. Expenditures Expenditures are $84.7 million or 62.3% of the budgeted expenditures as compared to $83.3 million or 63.4% for the prior year. The increase in expenditures is the net result of salaries and wages and staff benefits increasing while operating expenses have decreased. Transfers Transfers are at $14.5 million or 90.7% of the budgeted transfers as compared to $15.1 million or 90.5% of the budgeted transfers for the prior period. The decrease in the total transfers amount is due primarily to the reduction in planned transfers to capital.

Board Meeting 3-29-07 6 8.1.1 Recommendation for Award of Flexible Spending Account (FSA) Contract Board approval is requested for the award of a contract to Tri-Star Systems for a period of two (2) full years to begin June 1, 2007 for an amount of $10,044 for 2007-08 and $9,879 for 2008-09. The first year cost includes a $1,500 start-up fee. The second year cost of the contract assumes a 15% increase in employee enrollment in the plan. The actual cost of the contract depends on the level of employee participation in the program. Description The College introduced a Flexible Spending Account for full-time College employees in 2006. The Board approved the award of a 3-year contract for administering this benefit to UnitedHealthcare. The award of the employee medical benefit plan to Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield to become effective June 1, 2007 has changed the circumstances of the UnitedHealthcare contract. UnitedHealthcare is willing to continue to provide this FSA administration service to the College however, employees will no longer be able to use the debit card feature of this program. Receipts for covered expenses would have to be sent to UnitedHealthcare and a check would be sent to employees. Employees who participate in this program have reported that they like the convenience of the debit card. UnitedHealthcare has advised us that they are agreeable to canceling the contract for the Flexible Spending Account benefit if we so desire, without penalty. The 2nd recommended bidder on the original 2006 RFP was Tri-Star Systems. Tri-Star will honor their bid on even more favorable terms than their original bid. Therefore, the Employee Benefits Advisory Committee and the College recommend the award of the contract to Tri-Star Systems. The College’s only expense is a monthly service fee for each employee enrolled along with the possibility of some gain or loss to the College if employee funds are underutilized or overutilized per IRS regulations. The total annual cost to the College is dependent on the number of enrollees and any potential overutilization of employee funds. Tri-Star’s Cost Structure is as follows: • • • $3.95 per employee participant per month administration fee plus a $.50 per employee participant per month fee for the debit card. Total =$4.45 per employee participant per month. There is a one-time start-up fee of $1,500 Tri-Star guarantees these rates for 2 years. (As a comparison UnitedHealthcare’s renewal for 2007-08 was $4.17 per employee participant per month with no debit card feature.) 8.1.2 Life and Accidental Death & Dismemberment Insurance Renewal This is the third year of our Three (3) year contract with Cigna for this employee benefit. Board approval is requested to continue the College’s Life and AD&D insurance with Cigna for the policy period of June 1 2007 through May 31, 2008. The rates below represent an approximate 15% increase in premium for life insurance for active employees and also for retirees. The AD&D portion of the life insurance package did not increase in cost. Per Board policy the College pays 90% of the cost of this insurance for active employees. Retirees are responsible for the payment of their entire premium for the retiree life plan. Dependent life coverage for active employees is increasing 66%. The monthly premium for dependent life is increasing from the current $1.50 per month to $2.50 per month. The College pays 50% of the cost of dependent life. The total estimated annual cost to the College for this benefit is $501,532. The cost is an increase to the College of $61,473 for the 2007-2008 benefit year. The increase in the cost of this plan is the first change in two years as Cigna gave us a 2 year rate guarantee when the contract was originally awarded in 2005. Monthly Rates Current Renewal Remarks Employee Life/AD&D (per $1000 coverage) $.225 $0.255 College pays 90% Dependent Life (flat rate per month for this coverage) $1.50 $2.50 College pays 50% Retiree Life (per $1000 coverage) No cost to the College Retiree Life Renewal Age Band 0-54 55-59 60-64 65-69 70-74 75-79 80-84 85+ Current Rates – Cigna $0.47 $0.52 $0.93 $1.33 $2.28 $3.12 $5.08 $8.66 Renewal Rates – Cigna 6/1/2007 $0.54 $0.60 $1.07 $1.53 $2.62 $3.59 $5.84 $9.96
