FINANCIAL SERVICES ABSTRACT
Item(s) to be Considered:
Requestor:
Fernando Flores
Resource Persons:
Purpose:
Consideration and deliberation on the approval to increase the tuition and
fees rate for resident and non-resident students effective the Fall 2016
semester.
Area Responsible:
Budget & Financial Services
Josette Shaughnessy, Fernando Flores
To approve tuition and fees rate increases effective the Fall 2016 semester for resident
and non-resident credit students. The recommended increases would also include a $4
increase to the currently approved general use fee of $16 per credit hour effective Fall
2016. The additional $4 increase is recommended by the administration to finance
revenue bonds that will fund Phase 1A of the District Master Plan approved by the Board
of Trustees on December 4, 2015.
Explanation: Currently, resident and non-resident students pay a combined rate of $99 and $168 per
credit hour respectively for tuition and general use fee. At the Board’s request, the
administration evaluated the feasibility of a two-year tuition plan which was initially
presented on January 29, 2016 to the Tuition and Fees Committee comprised of students,
faculty and staff. Under the proposed plan, approved tuition rates would remain the same
from Fall 2016 through Summer 2018 with the caveat that there is (1) no reduction in
state funding, and (2) additional growth in formula and student success points funding
from the biennial legislative sessions.
In an effort to receive feedback from the students, a presentation to the Student
Government Association (SGA) was advertised and held in the Student Union at the
Valle Verde campus on February 3, 2016. A presentation of the same plan was made at
a budget workshop to the Board of Trustees on February 16, 2016. The Tuition and Fees
Committee met again on February 26, 2016 and evaluated feedback from the Board and
the SGA. At that time the Committee voted to increase, effective Fall 2016, resident and
non-resident tuition by $10 (11.9%) and $15 (9.8%) per credit hour respectively. The
Committee convened again on March 4, 2016 and voted to increase the General Use Fee
by $4 per credit hour as recommended by the administration. The final impact of the
combined tuition rate and general use fee increases as approved by the Tuition and Fees
Committee would represent an increase of 15.15% and 11.9% for resident and nonresident students respectively. The attached proposed Tuition and Fees rate schedule to
be approved by the Board of Trustees is contingent upon the discussion held during the
March 23 budget workshop held prior to the regular Board meeting.
Recommendation:
Approval by the Board of Trustees

To increase the GCA Services Group of Texas contract for additional janitorial support
for the area that now houses the Research & Accountability Division.
Explanation: The Board of Trustees, based on Request for Competitive Sealed proposals process CSP
#10-001, approved a contract for janitorial services with GCA Services Group of Texas,
L.P. in October 2009. That contract is set to expire on August 31, 2016.
Recently, the creation of new office space at the Administrative Service Center for the
Research & Accountability Division has resulted in new office space to be cleaned and
maintained. As such, the newly created space, which amounts to over 14,527 square feet,
will result in additional janitorial costs under the current contract. These added costs will
take the current contract, valued at $1,702,502, up $9,079 to $1,711,581. The
Administration requests approval of this additional $9,079 amount.
The Purchasing & Contract Management Department will soon be issuing a new
solicitation for proposals that will result in a new contract, to begin September 1, 2016.
That contract will be brought before the Board of Trustees for approval in July or August
2016.
Funding is provided by the Custodial Services budget.

RFP #16-010
ANALYSIS
The services secured through this RFP process will be utilized by El Paso County Community
College District’s students and staff, as well as the El Paso community.
Requests for Proposals were advertised for two (2) consecutive weeks in the local newspaper, the El
Paso Times. All such solicitations are also posted on the Purchasing & Contract Management
Department page of the EPCC website. Additionally, twenty-seven (27) local federally-insured
financial institutions consisting of banks and credit unions were contacted on 15 December 2015 to
advise them of the solicitation for proposals. The College’s Bid Specialist reached out to Presidents,
Senior Vice Presidents, Vice Presidents, Relationship Executives, and Marketing Directors as well as
other levels of banking personnel at these institutions. An example of institutions contacted includes,
but is not limited to, Bank of America, BBVA Compass, El Paso Area Teachers Federal Credit
Union, GECU, JP Morgan Chase Bank, Inter National Bank, One Source Federal Credit Union, Tip

By the closing date, thirty-three (33) entities had downloaded the solicitation packet directly from the
College’s Purchasing website. Proposal received are indicated on the RFP tabulation.
The District has a Campus Card Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank for its Best Start Card. As such,
the District will take steps to ensure that any contract resulting from this solicitation process for an
“On Site Financial Institution Branch” does not conflict with the existing Wells Fargo contract.
It is the recommendation of the “RFP Analysis Committee,” Jaime Farias, Fernie Flores, Juan Flores,

Purpose:
The Student Government Association (SGA) is requesting approval to charge a $20
processing fee for students to borrow up to $250 to purchase textbooks.
Explanation:
The Student Government Association is aware that it is often difficult for students
to purchase books the first week of class. This student-driven initiative by the SGA
will establish a $25,000 one-time only book loan fund in support of students. This
