ACTION FORM
PROCEEDING: Council Committee of the Whole - Legislative, Finance & Administration
DEPARTMENT OF ORIGIN: City Manager DATE SUBMITTED: 10/27/20
PREPARED BY: Matthew Harline, Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT: Budget Amendment – Community Policing Unit
REVIEWED BY: City Manager & Controller/Treasurer
APPROVALS: Council Committee of the Whole
EXHIBITS: Exhibits – Police Department Budget Details
EXPENDITURE REQUIRED: $177,900 AMOUNT BUDGETED: $ - 0 -
TIMETABLE: Upon Council approval
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends approval of the proposed Budget
Amendments totaling $177,900 for Fiscal Year 2021.
The proposed budget amendment reflects the changes to the FY21 Adopted Budget to now include
a new unit for Community Policing as requested by City Council. In preparing the budget
amendment, it is now understood the new Community Policing Unit will not be staffed with the
new officers hired under the COPS – Community Policing Grant application. Instead it will be
manned by existing officers at the ranks identified by the Police Chief on Exhibit #1 as more
experienced officers. Therefore, the grant matching funds will not be credited to the cost of the
Community Policing Unit but rather the law enforcement unit. The Community Policing budget
includes five existing officers at 12 months and five existing officers at 3 months. The law
enforcement budget includes 5 new officers for 3 months. (10 F/T positions with 5 employed 3
months equates to equivalent F/T staff of 6.3 for FY21)
This change in the makeup of the unit also changes the new hire cost of supplies and materials to
be included in the law enforcement unit. The original budgeted cost associated with the five
existing officers is reflected in the Community Policing Unit. Another change is the radio
purchases of $18,000 in the Action Form for the Community Policing Unit are now planned to be
covered by a State and Local Law Enforcement Grant (SALLE).
For further clarification, since both the new officers and the transfer of the five experienced officers
to the CP Unit only reflect 3 months of operations, the annualized personnel related cost of the
COPS Grant officers based on current budget amounts is $477,200. The annualized personnel cost
of all ten officers transferred to Community Policing is $1,384,000 plus supplies and materials.
A recap of the total Police Department Budget and Funding Sources (including Grants) for FY21
is as follows:

BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
By way of background, the Finance Department solicited proposals (RFP # 16-039FN) for consulting services
to assist the City with an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) project. The City then solicited proposals (RFP
# 17-0031FN and selected Tyler Technologies ERP solution. These previous two Action Forms are attached
for your reference.
The City staff has found it very difficult to manage this project. Our ability to timely complete our current
duties has been impeded by the work involved in this project. We are requesting a modification to the
BerryDunn contract from an advisory role to a Project Manager. Staff will include in the next Budget
Ordinance for the Audited Fund Balances, the amendment needed in FY21 for this project.
Note – BerryDunn provided pricing for both levels of service for this project in June 2017. The cost at that
time was 36 months of advisory services at $186,665; and 36 months of Full-time Project Management
services at $692,640. Due to special programming needs, Finance Department turnover, and Tyler Munis
turnover in staff the anticipation completion date of this project is now planned to get into December 2023,
versus the original 36 months.

RECOMMENDED ACTION: Authorization for the Acting City Manager to enter into a contract with Tyler
Technologies for the purpose of acquiring an Enterprise Resource Planning system and authorization to retain
the services of BerryDunn to assist staff with the implementation phase of this project. Total cost not to exceed
the authorized budget unless otherwise approved by City Council.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
By way of background, the Finance Department solicited proposals (RFP # 16-039FN) for consulting services
to assist the City with an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) project. The City selected Berry Dunn McNiel
& Parker, LLC (BerryDunn) as the consultant to successfully guide the City through the initial project of
Phase I which included, the ERP needs assessment, software development, vendor selection for Phase II
consultant, and contract negotiations with the ERP vendor selected.
Request for Proposals were solicited for an ERP solution that would best meet the City’s requirements in
March, 2017. There were two entities that responded to the Request for Proposal – ERP System Selection
Project. They were Edmunds and Associates and Tyler Technologies. After staff’s due diligence and with the
technical assistance of BerryDunn, staff is recommending the City to enter into an Enterprise Resource
Planning Technology Implementation Contract with Tyler Technologies. The Tyler proposal provided the best
in class functionality and provides the City with a long-term solution for the future. The initial pricing of the
proposals is outlined in the attached Project Memorandum from BerryDunn.
The City staff has selected the City-Hosted Deployment as the ERP solution at an estimated one-time cost of
$2,193,832 and an annual maintenance cost of $200,220. Maintenance cost will start upon the installation of
each module as we work through the 3 year project schedule. The City has requested to price in the E-notify
services (annual cost $24,200) for customer alerts/notifications and the ECitation for Police Code enforcement
operations. These items are being included in the final contract negotiations so the final pricing will vary but
will remain within budget. We would also like to retain the services of BerryDunn to assist with the
implementation phase of this project. Their proposal for that service is $186,665, which is within $5,000 of
two proposals submitted in the original consulting RFP. A recap of the estimated cost is as follows:

RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Authorize the Controller/Treasurer to enter into a contract with Barry Dunn McNeil & Parker, LLC (Barry
Dunn) for Phase I of an ERP needs assessment, software RFP development, vendor selection and contract
negotiations.
The Finance Department solicited proposals (RFP #16-0039FN) for consulting services to assist the City with
an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) project. We received eight proposals as listed on the list of bidders.
The benefits of this project are outlined in the attached Capital Plan document. The following due diligence
was completed by City staff to develop to the RFP and subsequent selection of Barry Dunn.
• Software demonstrations with companies that serve entities with similar size and services were
conducted in September – November 2015 to provide staff with knowledge of new technology and
enhancements to our current processes with the various software packages.
• After conducting research, telephone conversations with other local governments about their projects,
and reviewing their RFP’s for ERP software solutions, a draft RFP was developed by the
Controller/Treasurer in February 2016. The draft document was reviewed and modified with the input
of our I/T staff and the Assistant City Manager.
• The RFP was released by public advertisement and the City website on March 3, 2016.
• The City received eight sealed proposals on April 11, 2016.
• Electronic copies of all proposals were made available to all City Departments for review along with a
scoring sheet for each department’s use and a summary of key aspects notated by Finance.
• A meeting was held on April 27 with Department Heads to discuss each proposal. Scoring sheets were
completed in May 2016.
• Based on the results of the scores received, the top three firms were selected. The Controller/Treasurer
conducted telephone interviews of all references, summarized the results, and sent them to the
Department Heads during the month of June.
• The week of June 27, Department Heads met to conduct interview meetings with the finalists.

SUBJ: 2020 REVISED LIST – TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS
This list is a recommended revision to 2020 Transportation Projects Priorities originally
approved by CCOW/Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee on September 29. The
changes are the result of ongoing conversations about the status of the projects with both the
Dover/Kent County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) and DelDOT. These would have
brought forward at the recent discussion, but technical difficulties prevented discussion at that
time. The revisions primarily reflect some additional updating and correction of information. I
am recommending a possible re-ranking as a result of better data. Changes are shown in blue.
CITY OF DOVER
REVISED 2020 TRANSPORTATION PROJECT PRIORITIZATION
1. Garrison Oak Connector Road
Garrison Oak Business and Technology Center (GOBTC) is a 385-acre tract zoned IPM-2
(Industrial Park Manufacturing Zone-Technology Center) and is the only site in the City to be
zoned as such. It has been identified by the City as an ideal location for large technology/green
industry firms. An amendment to the zoning ordinance (2019) expanded the list of permitted uses
to allow warehousing, logistics and distribution activities as well.
Dover City Council desires that DelDOT provide a direct access to State Route 1 via a connector
road from White Oak Road to Route 8. While the State discourages growth east of State Route 1,
this tract is acknowledged by both the City of Dover and the State of Delaware as the only large-
scale developable land east of State Route 1 in the City of Dover.
A June 2017 study of the project (the Garrison Oak Traffic Study), determined that constructing a
connector road was not justified as of 2018, based on the current uses and development in the park.
However, an Alignment Study to determine the feasibility and location of a future road connection
is justified given current and potential development interests. The Park is an important economic
development asset for the City and the County. Utilization of GOBTC is restricted by the lack of
good access to SR1. As additional development occurs in the business park its priority for
construction will be shown as appropriate. Additional recent planning associated with a Dover
Freight Management Study suggests that not only this project but an extension of it south to
connect Route 8 to S. Little Creek Road near Horsepond Road would be desired to facilitate
Page 20
further expansion of the County Air Cargo Facility and proposed employment zone depicted in
both the City and County Comprehensive Plans.
Kenton Road Corridor Upgrades/ Route 8 East/West Corridor Plan Improvements
Prior project listings have evolved to include two related but separate projects within this single
listing. Both projects flow from various studies of the Route 8 Corridor. For clarity, these should
be separated and listed as two projects with priority set by readiness to proceed.
2 Scarborough Road/Route 8 Corridor Improvements
The project includes intersection improvements at Route 8/Route 15, which are already in
planning, design and ROW acquisition and involve added turn and through lanes. Construction is
scheduled to begin in 2021. The Route 8 Corridor Design Study (2008) also identified several
improvements along the Route 8 corridor that would improve safety, better manage access, reduce
congestion and provide improved traffic flow. While improvements complementary to this
corridor (POW-MIA Parkway and Senator Bikeway, for example) address north/south
movements, continued development on the west side of the City impacts the capacity and operation
of this roadway. The MPO has been asked to further study the section of Route 8 from Kenton
Road west beyond Mifflin Road.
3 Kenton Road Corridor Upgrades
The project includes full roadway development with drainage, shoulders, travel lanes, bike lanes,
and other actions. Kenton Road work has also begun with planning, design and ROW acquisition.
Construction is scheduled to begin in 2022. It is budgeted at $27.3 million. The Kenton Road
Corridor project includes road improvements and sidewalks to improve traffic flow and
bicycle/pedestrian safety. It is critical to improving the approach to the City from the northwest
where new residential areas within and outside the City are being built.
4. College Road Corridor Upgrades (Kenton Road to McKee Road)
This project includes road improvements and sidewalks in the heavily traveled College Road
corridor. It is a key east-west linkage from northwest residential areas to commercial corridors and
Delaware State University. Recent development in this area includes apartments and a
rehabilitation hospital near the College Road/McKee Road Intersection. Potential improvements
in this project include new pavement sections, sidewalks, shoulders, a closed drainage system,
bicycle lanes, lighting and other improvements. Planning and design is scheduled for FY23 with
ROW to be acquired in FY25-26. It is budgeted at $4.25 million.
5. Sidewalks within the walk zone of the new Dover High School
Critical gaps in the sidewalk system near Dover High School remain, including along Mifflin Road
and along Route 8 on the south side from Mifflin Road west. This project also addresses the
continuation of the Senator Bikeway and the recommendations from the Capital Gateway Study.
The City is very concerned about public safety in this area and believes it deserves to be included
Page 21
in the CTP and funded at the earliest opportunity. This project is ongoing and funded through a
statewide sidewalk safety improvement program.
6. West Street Improvements from North Street to the Transit Center
This project is along the western edge of the Downtown Development District and would improve
traffic flow, safety and access to the transit system serving the Downtown and the City. It would
also provide an opportunity for multi-modal linkages to be improved. West Street has become an
important connection for the DART transit service in the City but has not been improved to reflect
the standards necessary to meet this use. Part of these improvements were achieved in 2018 with
the completion of a multi-use path along the east side of West Street. The construction of the new
Dover Post Office along West Street increases the importance of this project. It is budgeted at $1.3
million with ROW acquisition in FY 23 and construction beginning in FY25.
7. US13 Service Roads/Scarborough Road
This project would create a collector distributor (CD) service road parallel to US 13 from Leipsic
Road to Scarborough Road, and a set of local access roads providing economic benefits to the
Dover Mall and a proposed adjacent commercial complex. This project is part of the US Route 13
Circulation Study. In adherence to the State’s Corridor Capacity Preservation Program, the
addition of service roads would decrease traffic on US 13/DuPont Highway by having more local
traffic use the service roads instead. The project also reflects the corridor’s continued growing role
as a destination for commerce, employment, and community activities, and its lessened importance
as a high-speed through travel route compared to State Route 1. Preliminary engineering is
scheduled for FY22-23, ROW acquisition in FY24-25 with construction thereafter, although
economic considerations could delay timing. It may include a southbound toll exit from SR1 to
the vicinity of the Mall. Construction includes consideration of private toll supported funding
totaling $33.1 million.
8. US 13 Sidewalk Construction
Construction of multi-use paths along US 13 continues to be a priority. Construction of sidewalks
is required when properties are developed or redeveloped, but significant sections of the sidewalk
system are either in deteriorated condition or missing. Examples include Public Safety Boulevard
to the Puncheon Run Connector and White Oak Road to College Road. A 2019 sidewalk project
built by DelDOT completed a sidewalk/path from Townsend Boulevard to Leipsic Road on the
east side of US 13. This project is ongoing and funded through a statewide sidewalk safety
improvement program.
9. Route 8/Hazelettville Road Connector
This is a north/south access road that was identified in the Route 8 Concept Plan and Operations
Study. This connection will encourage economic development and provide transportation
alternatives in this heavily traveled corridor. The connector road proposal incorporated the existing
Dover High Drive and extended south on the west side of the Village of Cannon Mills, however
DelDOT advises that much of the proposed ROW is in Agricultural Land Preservation with strong
Page 22
landowner opposition so an alternative connecting Commerce Way (Enterprise Park) to Route 8
near the Modern Maturity Center is being examined. It is budgeted at $2.5 million with
construction beginning in 2025..
10. Kings Highway/Route 13 Intersection Improvements
The intersection of Kings Highway/White Oak Road and US Route 13 needs improvements to
meet an acceptable level of service (now functioning at LOS E). Extensive new commercial
development (Capital Station Shopping Center, Lidl grocery store, and other commercial facilities)
are being constructed south of the intersection which will add traffic and access burdens on these
roads. Because of the multi-use paths to be constructed along with this commercial development,
pedestrian and bicyclist safety improvements will be needed as part of the intersection upgrade as
well. A consultant and DelDOT are studying this intersection to determine improvements needed.
This project is a recommendation of the City.
11._Loockerman Street/Forest Street Intersection
This project was requested by the City to help spur redevelopment activities in the Downtown
Development District while also improving traffic circulation and safety. It was identified as a
needed improvement through the Restoring Central Dover Study and the Westside Redevelopment
Study conducted in 2001. It is also complementary to the recommendations of the Capital Gateway
Study addressing the Forest Street/Route 8 corridor. It would result in improved traffic circulation,
a more pedestrian-friendly zone at the railroad crossings and create a new “gateway” into the
Downtown. Because of opposition to the intersection design option (roundabout), work on this
project is being deferred and no funding is allocated in the CTP at this time.
12. Crawford Carroll Avenue Extension
This project reflects the continuing growth of Delaware State University, commercial development
in the area, and future development possibilities involving the Dover Mall and adjoining
properties. The project was proposed to continue the improved right-of-way of Crawford Carroll
Avenue from West Rustic Lane in a southerly direction to the site where HomeGoods and PetSmart
are located and then connect to US Route 13 via a signalized intersection. It would provide access
between the DSU Learning and Living Commons facility and the main campus as an alternate to
using US 13. DelDOT has expressed concern about the feasibility of the original proposal,
however, the City requests that service road connections on the west side of US 13 continue to be
addressed even if the original design should not be achievable. This project has been removed from
the most recent DelDOT Capital Transportation Plan (FY 21-FY 26 Spending Plan).
