Kolhage, District 1 David Rice, District 4 Sylvia J. Murphy, District 5 County Commission Meeting November 22, 2016 Agenda Item Number: F29 Agenda Item Summary #2328 BULK ITEM: Yes DEPARTMENT: Solid Waste TIME APPROXIMATE: STAFF CONTACT: Will Thompson (305) 292 -4432 no AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval of 4th Amendment with Government Services Group, (GSG) to extend the contract for solid waste special assessment support services for an additional 5 years. ITEM BACKGROUND: GSG has provided professional services for the Solid Waste Special Assessment Program, including but not limited to assessment roll maintenance and submission to Tax Collector, TRIM notice generation and submission to Tax Collector, implementation of Online Assessment Date Management Service and roll certification. GSG has provided quality professional services to the County for several years and has vast knowledge of our solid waste special assessment program. Bringing in another firm without this knowledge or experience would risk errors to our special assessment program. GSG also handles all of our non ad valorem special assessments for the sewer program and will likely be handling any non ad special assessments for a MSBU for canal maintenance. Keeping the same contractor who knows our County systems and Constitutional officers greatly reduces the complexity and overall cost for administering these programs. This 4 Amendment extends the professional services for another 5 years, revises the fees and costs over the next 5 years, and updates the public records language to include the statutory language now required by F. S. 119.0701. PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION: The original agreement between the parties dated September 20, 2006, as amended on November 19, 2008, June 17, 2009 and March 21, 2012, remains in full force and effect.

Users will have the ability to access the service via a standard web - browser over an Internet connection. Detail on this service is included following the Critical Events Schedule in this appendix. Task 2: Prepare Fiscal Year 2006 -07 Assessment Roll GSG will obtain information from several sources of data to update solid waste assessment roll for Fiscal Year 2006 -07 as follows: Fiscal Year 2005 -06 assessment roll certified to the Monroe County Tax Collector for the unincorporated area and the City of Marathon Most current working files from the ad valorem tax roll from the Monroe County Property Appraiser Current list of Monroe County taxing authority codes from the Monroe County Property Appraiser GSG will use these files to perform the following tasks: Import the ad valorem tax roll to develop a preliminary electronic database of properties that fall within the assessment area, based on the taxing authority and categorized by their assignments of use by the Property Appraiser. Programmatically apply the business rules of the assessment program to the database, assigning billing units and extending charges to the individual tax parcels. Determine the total number of billing units based on the apportionment methodology and determine revenue generation. Apply corrections and fieldwork overrides to the database and add new residential COs as they are provided to GSG. Task 3: Determine Scope of Additional Fieldwork Following two active hurricane seasons and the merging of the Marathon solid waste assessment into the unincorporated County solid waste program, the possibility of uncertainties in unit counts exists. While performing the data analyses necessary to create the annual roll, GSG will programmatically determine the amount of fieldwork required to improve the accuracy of the assessment. If the County decides to perform fieldwork, GSG can provide assistance, as needed, on a work -order basis. Task 4: Provide Information to Property Appraiser for Use on the TRIM Notice Using the preliminary assessment roll, GSG will prepare a file on compatible electronic medium capable of merger with the ad valorem tax roll files for purposes of the TRIM notice. Government Services Group, Inc. I 8 -1 Task 5: Certify Final Assessment Roll in Conformance with Uniform Method Using the final assessment roll, after applying any changes or modifications provided by the County, GSG will prepare a file on compatible electronic medium capable of merger with the ad valorem tax roll files. GSG will create test merge files and provide to the Tax Collector's data management provider to ensure an accurate merge. GSG will also provide a CD containing the annual roll to the Monroe County Tax Collector. Task 6: Post - Certification Documentation/ Roll Finalization Fallowing the certification of the annual roll, GSG will provide to the County an updated Customer Service database, a report of assessed government parcels for manual billing, as well as detail and summary reports for each hauler district. GSG will work as needed with the Monroe County Tax Collector's office to make roll modifications due to parcel splits and combinations after the rolls have been submitted. FEES AND COSTS For the services provided by GSG, the lump sum fee for professional services for the proposed scope of services will be $46,500 for the first fiscal year and $50,000 for subsequent years, based on a commitment to a three -year contract. The lump sum would be due and payable on a quarterly basis, assuming notice to proceed occurs by November 1, 2005, as follows: Payment Schedule 25% of lump sum fee January 2006 25% of lump sum fee March 2006 25% of lump sum fee June 2006 25% of lump sum fee September 2006 The lump sum fee does not include the costs of producing and mailing the statutorily required first class notices for FY 2006 -07. These costs depend on the number of assessable parcels of property within the County. However, mailing and production costs are $1.25 per parcel, due and payable at the time of adoption of the preliminary assessment resolution. The lump sum fee for professional services does not include any on -site visits by representatives of GSG. On- site meetings (together with any actual costs associated therewith) may be arranged at our standard hourly rates. Project status meetings may be arranged through scheduled telephone conferences in lieu of on -site visits. Government Services Group, Inc.

I B -3 Overview: Online Assessment Data Management Service The Online Assessment Data Management Service is a web -based utility, tailored to the County's Solid Waste Assessment, which allows the remote management and viewing of assessment program data. By using this service, County staff can readily access assessment information at the parcel level, without the overhead of dedicated technical staff and data processing hardware, storage and support. Below are key points of the service: • GSG hosts the data on behalf of the County and provides for data storage and archiving on a secure, virus - protected network, behind monitored firewalls • GSG provides the Web and database servers and their associated software and hardware • GSG provides the Internet bandwidth and URL for the Web -based hosting • GSG creates a Web -based interface for users of the service, customized for the County's program • The interface uses secure, SSL encrypted and password - protected access to the data • Users can have varying levels of access to the data, based on group -level security • Only an Internet connection and Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher are necessary to use the service + No proprietary software is needed on the client workstation or network The Web -based interface will provide users the ability to: • Look -up assessment information by parcel ID, alternate key or owner name View assessment amounts, parcel use codes, corrections and unit - counts per parcel • View assessment and unit history per parcel • Edit parcel -level information and enter corrections or overrides • Flag parcels that require first class notices • Flag parcels that need fieldwork inspection • Enter notes and flag for customer service callback • Generate reports on unit - counts, assessment totals, hauler counts, fieldwork, etc. To provide this client - server service, a combination of back -end database and Web browser front -end will be used. The data will be stored in a database on a multi - processor server with redundant disk, power and network subsystems. The user interface for the application will be a Web site built and hosted by GSG that uses ASP to interact with the back -end database. Benefits of this approach include reduction of development time, transparency to the end -user of upgrades and enhancements, as well as ease of implementation to the client. Only an Internet connection and compatible browser (IE6f) will be needed by the client to operate the application. The following diagram illustrates the basic approach.
