ITEM NUMBER AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER MEETING DATE: July 14, 1998 AGENDA ITEM: Appropriation of surplus state revenues to cover Jail operations due to inmate population for FY 1997-98. COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS: e- S e -B r e l .n 6" r S e ~ SUMMARY OFF INFORMATION: During FY 1997-98, as in previous years, the inmate population at the Roanoke County Jail has remained above capacity. As a result, operational costs such as food, utilities, medical costs, etc. continue to consume a substantial portion of the Jail's budget. In addition, the Compensation Board reduced funding for two positions in FY97- 98 that resulted in added overtime and part-time expenditures to maintain adequate staffing in the courts and jail facility. After reviewing the Sheriffs year-to-date expenditures, a year-end deficit of $65,000 is projected as follows: Administration $(34,000) Civil 56,000 Care and Confinement (87,000) Total $(65,000) Roanoke County is reimbursed by the state for salaries, mileage, office expenses, and for housing state prisoners. The reimbursement for state responsible inmates varies between a rate of $6 and $8/day. Federal prisoners are reimbursed at $40/day; however, during FY97-98 the Roanoke County Jail ceased housing federal prisoners. State reimbursement for commonwealth responsible prisoners is subject to state prisoner population, general assembly appropriations, and political factors, variables difficult to consider in revenue projections. Given this fact, revenues for these items are estimated conservatively with the intention of seeking additional appropriations from the Board of Supervisors if the inmate population increased expenses and the related reimbursements. - Based on the conservative revenue estimates versus the actual revenues received from the state for the Sheriffs Department for FY97-98, revenues in excess of budget for these categories should total approximately $170,000. TS AFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends an appropriation adjustment to recognize an additional $65,000 of revenue for housing state prisoners and increasing the Care and Confinement budget within the Sheriffs department by $65,000 to cover increased operational costs of the jail caused by increased inmate population and staffing requirements.

COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS: I believe that this bid protest should be denied. The process for researching and purchasing this vehicle took over a year, and involved a cross section of staff and volunteers from Fire and Rescue. The vehicle which was chosen met the specifications more closely, has a shorter delivery time, and is being produced by a company with more experience. The people who chose the Quint are the people who will be using it, and the process was handled properly. There are some perception problems which are addressed below, and I believe that everyone involved has learned from this experience. We have met with M& W, and staff continues to support the process which took place and the award to Pierce Manufacturing. I support that award, also, and ask that you do the same. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: This bid protest is made by M & W Fire Apparatus Inc., pursuant to Section 17-129 ("Protest of award or decision to award") of the Roanoke County Code, challenging award 4CP97-49, a Quint Fire Engine, to Pierce Manufacturing, c/o Singer Associates Fire Equipment. Douglas Widner, President of M & W Fire Apparatus and Barry Mays are expected to be present at the Board meeting to present their protest. Richard Singer, representing Pierce, will also be present to answer any technical questions. BACKGROUND: For the past year, the Roanoke County Fire and Rescue Department has been researching fire apparatus to prepare to purchase a replacement vehicle to be stationed at the Hollins Fire and Rescue Station. Once a new vehicle is purchase for Hollins, the existing ladder truck will be rotated to Ft. Lewis which does not have one. The Fire and Rescue Department uses an Apparatus Specification Team to work through these purchases and to make recommendations to the Chief. The Specification Team ("Team") has a subcommittee, the Apparatus Specification and Standardization Committee ("Committee"), which is responsible for working with the Procurement Department, reviewing the proposals from suppliers and making the recommendation to the full team to be passed to the Chief. The Committee is composed of two volunteer firefighters, two career firefighters, a battalion chief, and two members of the company which will be using the new vehicles, in this case, Hollins. A representative from Procurement is also present. The battalion chief votes only in case of a tie, and the Procurement representative has no vote. 1 E-3 The Team, working with Procurement, drafted specifications for a Quint fire engine. These specifications were written based on information received from a variety of localities, both in and out of state. The specs were reviewed and changed to meet Roanoke County requirements, and on April 14, 1998, Procurement Services issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for a Quint fire engine. Due to the terrain of Roanoke County, and some of the areas the vehicle would be expected to service, such as the Shenandoah Homes Retirement Community, the Committee was interested in an option which would provide additional maneuverability. Because cost of this alternative might have been prohibitive, the Committee asked that this be included as an option on the RFP. On April 21, the County held a pre -proposal conference with interested suppliers. Pre -proposal conferences are intended to provide an opportunity to express any concerns over the specifications, and some changes to the RFP were made based on comments received at that time. On April 25, an addendum was issued to address the concerns expressed at the conference. Additionally, some of the suppliers arranged for demonstrations of their vehicles at various times during the spring months, even before the RFP was complete. Pierce, M&W and Equipment One all demonstrated equipment at the Hollins Fire Station, although M&W did not have a Quint to exhibit, and brought a demonstrator vehicle. On June 1, the Committee, along with the Chairman of the Specification Team, interviewed the representatives from the top two companies, M&W Fire Apparatus (M&W), and Pierce Manufacturing/Singer Associates Fire Equipment (Pierce). This interview allowed both sides to clear up any issues and answer any questions about the proposal. After discussion and review of the information, on June 9, the Committee made a decision on the equipment purchase. The Committee did not have information on the pricing when making its initial decision, and only looked at cost after ranking the two vehicles. The cost of the Pierce vehicle, without the option, was $504,729, and the M&W vehicle was $507,856. With the option, the Pierce vehicle increased $27,585 while the M&W vehicle increased $2,921. Additionally, as part of the proposal, Pierce has offered a prompt payment discount which will amount to an additional $10,000 savings. On June 10, Battalion Chief Steve Poff, who served as the facilitator for the Committee, forwarded the Committee's recommendation to Chief Burch. The Committee recommended the Pierce Manufacturing Quint, noting that it met the specifications for the basic vehicle best, its cost for the basic vehicle was lower, and its proposal for the optional all wheel steer met the requirements better than the competing vehicle. The final decision on this purchase was made by Chief Burch, and he supported the Committee's recommendations. The paperwork was received in Procurement on June 25 and on June 26, suppliers were notified of the award to Pierce. SUMMARY OF INFORMATION: M&W filed a bid protest on June 30, a copy of which is attached. County staff, including the fire chief, other fire personnel and representatives from Procurement and the County Administrator's office, met with a representative from M&W to review the issues and attempt to resolve the matter. After listening to the comments and questions, staff, including Chief Burch, continued to support the award to Pierce Manufacturing Company. M&W's 2 assertions, and the County's response (in italics), are set out below: o Pierce received preferential treatment by the evaluation committee. The Committee consisted of a cross section of individuals, including career and volunteer firefighters, and was assisted by a representative from the Procurement Department. They reviewed the specifications, and set forth a number of criteria for choosing Pierce. A copy of their recommendation is attached. o Items listed in the bid document that were proprietary to Pierce. The County used specifications from many localities in drafting the RFP, and made substantial changes based on the proposed use of the equipment. The purpose of the pre - proposal conference, however, is to ensure that vendors have the opportunity to bring matters such as this to the attention of the Procurement Department. M&W attended that conference, and did not indicate any problems with the proposal documents. Other changes were made to the documents, based on comments from the vendors at the conference. o The chairman of the review committee failed to review our proposal prior to the June 1 meeting with M&W. This comment refers to Lynn Thomas, Chairman of the Team, who attended the June 1 meeting. He had not read the proposal, because he was not part of the Committee, and was attending the meeting for informational purposes only. o The technical contact person showed up at the demo, set up at County's request, 45 minutes late, did a 360 walk around of (sic) demo unit, spoke to no sales person and left, all while wearing a Pierce jacket. No questions were asked by him and no interest was shown in the product being shown. The demo at the Hollins Fire Station was held in the early spring on Battalion Chief Poff's day off. Chief Poff was paged by fire personnel, and responded to Hollins to look at the vehicle. He does not remember whether or not he was wearing a Pierce jacket, although he owns one, which he purchased. The demo unit was not a Quint, and since the specifications were not complete at that time, Chief Poff's interest was limited. o Other department members present questioned why the demo was there, as they verbally expressed they were buying a Pierce unit. The County is unaware of these comments. They were not made by members of the Committee making the choice and did not have any impact on the decision. Again, this event took place before the specifications were even complete. If they were made, the remarks were inappropriate, and fire and rescue staff will be cautioned about making comments such as these in the future. 3 NM o M&W meets 100% of the published specifications and based on the final tabulation of the base bid and all options taken is the lowest bid. M&W had more exceptions to the specifications in the RFP, including the warranty and other equipment choices. The delivery time was longer, and the base proposal was higher. When the options were included, M&W's proposal did not meet the specifications as well as Pierce's, particularly with respect to the turning radius, which was considered very important by the committee. (See attached comparisons) o M&W has demonstrated that we are a qualified apparatus company, as we have helped keep the County's existing units in service. The County does not dispute this. M&W would not have been chosen as one of the top two vendors if there was any doubt about the company's ability to provide the equipment. However, M&W has built only two Quints, while Pierce Manufacturing has built several hundred and has a more proven track record. Pierce builds Quints using many of its own components, while M&W fabricates the vehicles with components from various manufacturers. M&W was unable to provide a Quint at the demonstration, and did not even have one to show until after the award was announced. There are several other issues which may be brought to the Board's attention at the meeting: o In mid-June, prior to the award, Virginia Fire News Magazine carried an announcement that Singer Associates (Pierce) had received the award for the Quint from Roanoke County. Singer Associates is responsible for placing this information in the magazine, and has apologized. A copy of the letter from Singer Associates is attached. o The RFP specified that the components of the vehicle have been in production for over five years. Pierce specified a Dash 2000 chassis which has been in production only slightly over a year, but is an upgrade of a chassis which has been in production for more than 10 years. A copy of a letter with an explanation is attached. o At the June 1 meeting, during the M&W presentation, the representative from Pierce arrived at the meeting room and announced his arrival. The representative was told to wait in the Procurement office, and M&W was assured that the Committee would give them as much time as necessary to complete the exchange of information. o Chesterfield County purchased a Pierce Quint, and questions were raised about whether the equipment has performed satisfactorily. Staff has contacted Chesterfield County, and was informed that the Quint has performed well, and that the County is planning on purchasing another one from Pierce in the near future. o The RFP specified that the successful vendor would agree to be the sole source for the warranty. While M&W did agree to this in a letter which was part of the proposal packet, also included by M&W was a standard warranty form which specifically stated that various E parts of the completed vehicle, including the chassis, were not warrantied by M&W. o The RFP indicated that the negotiated contract might be annually renewable for a period not to exceed 5 years. However, Fire and Rescue has decided that due to the changing technology of Quints, when funding is received for another purchase, a new RFP will be issued. M&W, along with all other interested vendors, will have other opportunities to supply equipment to Roanoke County. o M&W is a local company, with new offices in the Town of Vinton. However, the Virginia Procurement Act specifically does not allow this to be a consideration in making a local government purchase. The award has been made to Pierce for the Quint, and contract negotiations are ongoing at this time. ALTERNATIVES: The Board of Supervisors must determine whether the decision to award the bid to Pierce was arbitrary or capricious. If the Board determines that this award was not arbitrary or capricious, it should reject this protest and authorize staff to proceed with the negotiation of this contract to Pierce. In that case, M&W has the option to challenge the decision in circuit court, which will review whether the Board's decision was arbitrary or capricious. If the Board determines that the award to Pierce is arbitrary or capricious, then it can uphold the bid protest and direct staff to re -bid this piece of equipment. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Board reject this bid protest and allow staff to proceed immediately with completing negotiations with Pierce to purchase the Quint for the Hollins Fire Department. This process has already taken over a year, and we should not delay the purchase any further. This piece of equipment has been determined by the Fire and Rescue Department and its committees to be necessary for the safety and health of the citizens served by the County. Additionally, when this vehicle is delivered, the ladder truck currently at Hollins will be moved to Ft. Lewis, to assist with protection in that area. The Ft. Lewis company is responsible for protection for Richfield Nursing Home, including the new Alzheimer's facility, as well as the new commercial and industrial development along the 460 corridor. Pierce Manufacturing is an established company with a proven track record, a shorter delivery time, and more of the features that the County requested. The Fire Chief and his staff fully support this purchase and the process that was used in arriving at the decision. 5 3 — Respectfully submitted, &4" 4"' Elmer C.

ITEM NUMBER F— AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER MEETING DATE: July 14, 1998 AGENDA ITEM: Request from the New River Valley Commerce Park Project to indicate intention to join the Virginia Headwaters Regional Industrial Facility Authority and appropriate $5,000 for initial expenses COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS: SUMMARY OF INFORMATION: David Rundgren, Executive Director of the New River Valley Commerce Park Study Committee, has forwarded to the County a draft ordinance creating the Virginia Headwaters Regional Industrial Facility Authority, and requested that the County indicate it's intent to participate in the Authority, and it's willingness to appropriate $5,000 to help pay the initial expenses of the Authority. The purpose of the Authority is to enhance economic development for the member localities by developing a regional economic development project, and 18 localities have been invited to join. The City of Roanoke has advised that they intend to participate. Joining the Authority does not obligate any locality to participate in the New River Valley Commerce Park project or any other projects undertaken by the Authority. Each project will have a separate organizational structure with Participation Agreements. If Roanoke County decides to join the Authority, a formal ordinance must be adopted by September 1, 1998. At this time, the County is only agreeing to participate and provide seed money, contingent upon review of the contract by the County Attorney. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors indicate it's intention to participate in the Virginia Headwaters Regional Industrial Facility Authority and authorize the County Administrator to convey this message to the appropriate individuals. The $5,000 initial expenses will be taken from the Economic Development budget. Respectfully Submitted by: Elmer C.
