Memo
Date: April 17, 2012
To: Councilmembers
From: Patrick Frerich, Equipment Maintenance Superintendent - Vehicle Maintenance
Subject: Agenda Item for October 4, 2011
Contact: Patrick Frerich, Vehicle Maintenance - 657-4329 x1651
Caption: Consent
Consideration of awarding RFP VM-02-12 for Digger Derrick Dealers to Altec
Nueco, authorizing staff to negotiate a contract not to exceed $100,000, and
authorizing the Interim City Manager to execute said contract and any necessary
related documents.
Summary: The Vehicle Maintenance Department requested proposals for dealers to provide
assistance in locating and facilitating the acquisition of a used and reconditioned or demo digger
derrick for the Traffic Department to replace a current unit that has exceeded it operational life.
Altec Nueco submitted a response to the Request for Proposal (RFP).
History: Historically, the City has purchased new equipment to replace current fleet units or add
to the fleet. New equipment is primarily preferred due to the extended life and lower overall
lifetime costs associated with new units verses purchasing on the used market. Occasionally,
factors such as budget constrains prohibit this practice and, therefore, alternatives must be
sought.
A Request for Bid (RFB) for a new digger derrick was distributed with an option to provide a used
piece of equipment as an alternative in RFB VM-01-12. An acceptable used unit was located and
bid during that time, but was sold and therefore was unavailable before the unit could be
approved for purchase in accordance with the City’s Purchasing Policy. Due to the unpredictable
availability of a used unit and coordination with the RFB process, staff determined a Request for
Proposal (RFP) to allow negotiations to occur with a dealer when an acceptable unit becomes
available would be more beneficial than the traditional bidding method.
Staff solicited for proposals from vendors familiar with this type of equipment for the location and
potential purchase of a used digger derrick. Staff supplied in the proposal its list of preferences
when seeking a piece of equipment for consideration. Proposals were evaluated and ranked by
the selection committee using the following criteria:
1. Ability to meet budgetary constraints
2. Ability to provide unit(s) based on the City’s preferences
3. Experience of the vendor with this equipment
4. Services available both during and after the sale

17. The selection committee was comprised of Roger Banks, Purchasing Manager and Patrick
Frerich, Equipment Maintenance Superintendent.
Financial Impact: Altec Nueco submitted a proposal based on the City’s RFP. Their submission
garnered a ranking of 100 of 100 points, and no other proposals were received. This purchase is
expected to remain within the $100,000 budget, and equipment will be sought and considered
accordingly. Qualifying equipment will be presented to Council for approval to proceed with the
purchase.
Related Vision Item: NA
Other information/Recommendation: Staff seeks approval to enter into negotiations with Altec
Nueco (Birmingham, AL), the submitter of the most appealing proposal. Negotiations will include
locating and evaluating candidates for purchase, selling prices, evaluating and choosing available
options, and logistical considerations.

The Vehicle Maintenance Department requested proposals for dealers familiar in the sale of
used and reconditioned or demo digger derricks. RFP VM-02-12 was draft outlining criteria
and stipulations interested vendors should take into consideration. Sought were proposals of
vendors dealing with this equipment that were the most appealing and offered the most benefit
to the City.
Altec Nueco responded with proposals in accordance with the RFP. Proposals were then
reviewed by the selection committee consisting of Patrick Frerich – Vehicle Maintenance, and
Roger Banks - Purchasing. Committee members ranked the proposal on a cumulative scale of
100 points as follows:
Ability to Meet Budgetary Constraints 40 Points Max
Ability to Provide Unit(s) based on the City’s Preferences 30 Points Max
Experience of the Vendor with this Equipment 20 Points Max

Consideration of matters relating to Request for Proposal RFP: PI-01-11, and actions
in connection thereto:
a. Approving a recommendation from the Evaluation Team to award RFP: PI-01-
11/Website Design contract to Vision Internet, in an amount not to exceed $40,000.00
for design of a new, custom website for the City of San Angelo, and authorizing the City
Manager to negotiate and execute a contract with the recommended vendor
b. Authorizing a budget amendment for the project funds in an amount not to exceed
$40,000.00 to cover costs of designing the new website, training staff, and hosting the
newly designed site
Summary: The Evaluation Team unanimously recommended awarding a contract designing a
new, custom website for the City of San Angelo to Vision Internet and is now
requesting approval of the vendor selection and budget amendment to the City
Council. The contract will be in the amount of $40,000.00.
History: The City’s current website was originally designed in 2004, and is not capable of
incorporating many of the recent advances in social media, online commerce, and
mobile technologies. As a result, Public Information has utilized third-party sites to
achieve the functionality needed to ensure the City of San Angelo has website
capabilities that meet the needs of City staff, local businesses, and our constituents.
The existing site is not user-friendly for our customers, and is cumbersome for staff to
maintain. The City needs a Web presence that provides information and tools to all
users and clearly communicates that we are a thriving, forward-looking, business-
friendly community that understands the need to facilitate online transactions and
eliminate waste and duplication caused by using antiquated systems.
On October 11, 2011, the City’s Purchasing Department issued a Request for
Proposals for the project. Proposals were issued to six companies registered with the
City to provide these services, one of which is in San Angelo. Purchasing received
five proposals on October 28, 2011. The Evaluation Team has scored and ranked
each proposal based on the criteria and project requirements outlined in the RFP.
The Evaluation Team unanimously recommends the contract be awarded to Vision
Internet as that company’s Proposal represents the best value for the project. See
attached information for additional details.
25. Financial Impact: The costs for the website design, hosting, and training staff will be $40,000.00.
Other Information/ a. Staff requests City Council approve the recommendation from the Evaluation Team to

To: Roger Banks, Purchasing Manager
From: Ty Meighan, Public Information Officer
Date: April, 19, 2012
RE: RFP: PI-01-11, Website Design
The above referenced RFP was issued on October 11, 2011, and proposals were sent to six companies, including
one from San Angelo. Purchasing received five responses, which were opened on October 28, 2011. The eight-
member Evaluation Team for the project included: Ty Meighan and Brian Groves, Public Information; Mary
Cleveland, Finance Department; Maryann Vasquez, Parks and Recreation; AJ Fawver and Donna Osborne,
Community and Economic Development; John Eades, Information Technology; and, Alicia Ramirez, City Clerk. The
Team evaluated and ranked each proposal based on the criteria and project requirements outlined in the RFP.
Each proposal could be awarded up to the maximum 800 available points.
1. Vision Internet, Santa Monica, CA: 700 points – This proposal represents the best value for the project and is
the unanimous recommendation of the Evaluation Team. The proposal outlined a project approach that seeks
input from all City departments and site users; ensures universal browser capability; creates an updated,
dynamic homepage; offers web-based training for an unlimited number of participants, and will insert actual
screenshots from the new system into the training documentation. The features offered in this proposal will
allow staff to send blanket updates through social media, establish mobile-ready web pages, create
customized reports online, and accept electronic payments. The samples and references demonstrated an
innovative look with the most current technology and greatest level of customization.
2. CivicPlus Sales, Manhattan, KS: 662 points – This proposal was based on customizing standard (plug-and-play
type) templates; did not address all project requirements (specifically, transmitting construction plans and
digital signatures); indicated limited hosting capacity and a preference for Windows-based browsers;
reference sites appear similar in look and style (not unique to a particular customer); only on-site or phone
training available for staff; indicated design, maintenance and hosting costs much higher than other proposals;
and, did not provide a detailed timeline.
3. Intrafinity, Toronto, ON Canada: 508 points – This proposal did not demonstrate experience using many of
the critical, more progressive features required (specifically, online payments); did not provide contact
information or URLs for sample sites; requires a user-license for their software; and, an approach that would
work to fit our needs into their stock modules rather than designing a custom site based on our needs and
requirements.
4. GovOffice, Lincoln Park, NJ: 496 points – This company designed the City’s existing site; however, the
proposal did not demonstrate the ability to implement required interactive tools or facilitate transmission of
large electronic files; has no current mobile app or online registration and payment capability; lacked specifics
relating to customizing the templates used to design sites; lacked specifics on schedules and social media; and
had the wrong city name in the proposal, which indicates a lack of attention to the specific requirements
outlined in the RFP.
5. BCT Consulting, Clovis, CA: 485 points – This proposal was based on customizing standard templates; did not
demonstrate municipal experience; did not address all project requirements; and, did not provide a detailed
timeline.
As a result of the rankings, the Team is recommending that the contract be awarded to Vision Internet of Santa
Monica, California, and that the staff be authorized to negotiate a new contract for the design of a new, custom
website for the City of San Angelo. If a satisfactory contract cannot be negotiated, staff will begin negotiations
with the company with the proposal that was determined to be the next best value for the project.

Consideration of authorizing the Interim City Manager and Water Utilities Director to
make an application; and negotiate and execute a contract with AEP Texas for
participation in the electric Load Management Program.
Summary: The electric load management program is an energy efficiency incentive program
that is designed to reduce electrical loads during peak demand periods. By agreeing to reduce
its electrical demand, the City would receive an incentive payment based on actual load
reductions.
History: The Water Treatment and Wastewater Treatment Plants have emergency
generators that are used for backup power. These generators would be utilized to reduce the
facilities demand on the electric system grid.
Financial Impact: The City will receive payments of up to $15,000 for participating in the
program.
Other Information/Recommendation: Under the program provisions, the City could be
requested for up to a maximum of four times to reduce its load for up to 4 hours between the hours of
1:00 – 7:00 p.m. The program runs from June 1 through September 30.
It is recommended the City participate in the program and the Interim City Manager and Water Utilities
Director be authorized to make application; and negotiate and execute the contract documents.

Sponsor’s Contact Telephone Number(s) a minimum of two business days
prior to the date that the new Project Sponsor’s Contact Telephone
Number(s) is to become effective. In order for notice of a new Project
Sponsor’s Contact Telephone Number(s) to be valid, Project Sponsor
must verify that Program Manager has actually received such notice by
the above-mentioned deadline.
5.7 An Unscheduled Interruption shall be for a minimum duration of one hour
to a maximum duration of either two hours (Option C or E) or four hours
80. (Option A, B or Option D). There shall be no more than four (4)
Unscheduled Interruptions during any one calendar month of the
applicable Performance Period.
ARTICLE VI - VERIFICATION PROCESS

that are read, reviewed, and approved by TNC.
ARTICLE VII - INCENTIVE PAYMENTS
7.1 TNC agrees to make an incentive payment to the Project Sponsor based
upon the Demand Savings derived from the Project, as further discussed
in this Article.
7.2 The applicable incentive rates and cap on Demand Savings and the
possible incentive cap are as follows:
Capacity Interruption Incentive Rate per kW ($/kW)
Performance Period
Demand Savings Capacity Payment
Option Payment Incentive
Cap Cap
Rate
A $15.00/kW 2,667 kW $40,000
B $35.00/kW 1,143 kW $40,000
C $25.00/kW 1,660 kW $40,000
D $25.00/kW 1,660 KW $40,000
E $20.00/kW 2,000 kW $40,000
7.3 Unscheduled Interruptions - After the conclusion of the Performance
Period and completion of the Verification Process for the SOP Year, TNC
shall pay the Project Sponsor the Performance Period Payment. TNC will
typically make the Performance Period Payment within thirty (30) days
after the completion of the final Verification Process of the Performance
Period. If the Unscheduled Interruption Demand Savings are equal to or
less than the Estimated Demand Savings, then the Performance Period
Payment will be calculated using the following equation:
Performance Period Payment = Performance Period Payment Incentive
Rate x Unscheduled Interruption Demand
Savings
81. If the Unscheduled Interruption Demand Savings are greater than the
Estimated Demand Savings, then the Performance Period Payment will be
calculated using the following equation:
Performance Period Payment = Performance Period Payment Incentive
Rate x Estimated Demand Savings
7.4 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, TNC may, in its sole discretion,
revise the calculation of the Performance Period Payment to allow
payment to Project Sponsor for an amount of Peak Demand Reduction
that exceeds the amount of Estimated Demand Savings.
7.5 The Performance Period Payment in a SOP year may be limited to 20% of
the Incentive Budget for that SOP year.
7.6 TNC’s Incentive Payment to the Project Sponsor is expressly and
specifically conditioned upon TNC receiving all required notices,
submittals and materials from Project Sponsor within the applicable period
specified in this Agreement. Failure by Project Sponsor to deliver any
required notice, submittal, or material within the applicable period
specified in this Agreement shall be deemed a material breach of this
Agreement.
