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,

ANNUAL MAINTENANCE OF ASSESSMENT PROGRAM
IMPLEMENTATION OF WEB -BASED ASSESSMENT DATA MANAGEMENT SERVICE
Scope of Services
Task 1: Develop and Implement the Online Assessment Data Management Service
Using GSG's familiarity with the County's solid waste assessment program, an online service
will be created to provide County staff access to and management of the underlying
assessment program data. 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:

25% of lump sum fee
January 2006

25% of lump sum fee
June 2006

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.

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.
