Page 32

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 9, 2020 PAGE 28 Staff recommended approval of the proposed Budget Amendments totaling $177,900 for Fiscal Year 2021. Mr. Neil moved to recommend approval of Staff's recommendation, seconded by Mr. Anderson and unanimously carried. By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for approval of the proposed Budget Amendments totaling $177,900 for Fiscal Year 2021. The motion was seconded by Mr. Lindell and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Cole absent). Project Management Services - Enterprise Resources Planning Systems (ERP) Ms. Lori Peddicord, Controller/Treasurer, reviewed the background and analysis regarding the project management services for Enterprise Resources Planning Systems (ERP). Staff recommended authorization for the Controller/Treasurer to enter into a contract with BerryDunn for the purpose of Project Management with the Enterprise Resource Planning system implementation for the remaining phases of this project and to amend the Electric Improvement and Extension Fund budget for the requested amount as projected each fiscal year. Mr. Neil asked if the new request had moved from the consulting and teaching phase to the operational management phase, noting that they would be temporary contractual employees for a period from 2020 to December 2023. Responding, Ms. Peddicord stated that they were considering converting the contract with BerryDunn from project oversight to project management and that was to ensure that the software vendor performed as promised. She advised that, as the project management team, it would be their responsibility to train City Staff. Ms. Peddicord stated that as the project manager, they would closely monitor, with the City, to manage the implementation activities for each of the upcoming phases. Ms. Peddicord noted that they would serve to identify any risks and/or issues that they encountered in implementing the new software. Ms. Peddicord advised that she discovered over the past three years, and more recently, that the project management was very time consuming and they needed a full-time, or at least part-time, dedicated person to ensure nothing was missed. Mr. Neil asked how much the new efficiency was expected to save in taxpayer dollars during the next 5 - 10 years. Responding, Ms. Peddicord stated that she could not equate it to an expected tax savings, but could reference that when they signed the original contract there was recognition of savings in the action form provided. She advised that it appeared in the annual maintenance cost comparison from the Legacy system to the new system, that the old system entailed about $349,000 and the new system was going to reduce that to $244,000. Ms. Peddicord stated that they were going to see a lot more efficiencies, improvements, and communications with citizens. She noted that the program would enable online payments through the portal

Page 33

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 9, 2020 PAGE 29 and would provide the ability for Staff, vendors, and citizens to access their accounts online. Responding to Mr. Neil, Mr. Harline stated that the Tyler Munis system would do more than the AS400 base Naviline system. He noted that the new technologies would provide additional options and give the user the experience that they would expect. He noted that the different pieces would fit together and allow for integration. Ms. Peddicord noted that it was hard to equate the dollar amount of the implementation of the six-phase project in the front end. She stated that after the users learn the system and understand how to gain the best knowledge of it, she believed they were going to see a lot more cost saving. Mr. Contant stated that he remembered eight or nine months ago, that it was suggested that there might be a possibility or a need to hire a full-time person to interface between City Staff and Tyler. He noted that looking at the increase, $421,800 was a lot of money but, according to the documents, that should be recouped in roughly four years. He stated that if they used the system for the next 20 years, that would turn out to be a significantly larger sum that they would hopefully be saving. Mr. Contant stated they would have the opportunity to grow the system into smart meters and everything else that they would want to do over time. Responding to Mr. Contant's concern, Ms. Peddicord provided the following information: • The project manager would be aggressive in ensuring that Tyler Technologies fulfilled their obligations. • BerryDunn has been involved throughout the project in a management oversight capacity and could be more aggressive in addressing issues. • If they decided that BerryDunn was not being as aggressive as they wanted, they could address recourse. • Regarding a contract that laid out their expected responsibilities, authority, and mediation process, Ms. Peddicord did not have it on hand, but that in addition to the change request form shifting from oversight to management, there were other areas that were covered under the contract a little differently from one position to the other. Mr. Contant stated that he wanted the information in writing and agreed upon before payment is made. He noted that he wanted someone that was going to be aggressive with the software vendor to ensure what was best for the City of Dover. Ms. Peddicord stated if they did not already have that, she would make sure they got verbiage on it and take the appropriate actions.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 9, 2020 PAGE 30 Mr. Neil moved to recommend authorization for the Controller/Treasurer to enter into a contract with BerryDunn for the purpose of Project Management with the Enterprise Resource Planning system implementation for the remaining phases of the project and to amend the Electric Improvement and Extension Fund budget for the requested amount, as projected each fiscal year, as recommended by Staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Shevock. Responding to Mr. Rocha, Ms. Peddicord stated that the City dealt with Tyler Technologies directly and that BerryDunn was retained to serve as the project oversight consultant because of their previous knowledge and experience with Tyler Technologies. She stated that BerryDunn originally assisted them with the Tyler Technologies contract and user acceptance testing under the current contract. Ms. Peddicord advised that they were not the go-to person then and they were going to change that scope of work and responsibility. Responding to Mr. Rocha regarding a line in the budget for BerryDunn, Ms. Peddicord stated that it was in the project cost for the ERP implementation. She noted that the consultant for the project oversight and the implementation costs were in that line item. Mr. Rocha asked if the $421,000 was in addition to BerryDunn’s cost for project oversight. Responding, Ms. Peddicord stated that the $421,000 is for project management for the next two or three years that they are contracted. (City Clerk’s Office Note: Upon further clarification Ms. Peddicord stated that only the $421,000 costs for Project Management would be added to the remaining project implementation and/or life of the project timeline anticipated to be December 2023. The Project Oversight services contract with BerryDunn ends upon the approval and transition of the services being provided to the City of Dover on behalf of the Tyler implementation.) Mr. Neil moved to recommend authorization for the Controller/Treasurer to enter into a contract with BerryDunn for the purpose of Project Management with the Enterprise Resource Planning system implementation for the remaining phases of the project and to amend the Electric Improvement and Extension Fund budget for the requested amount projected each fiscal year, as recommended by Staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Shevock and carried with Mr. Taylor voting no. By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Lindell and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Cole absent). Mr. Neil moved for adjournment of the Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee meeting, seconded by Mr. Rocha and unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 6:30 p.m.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 9, 2020 PAGE 31 SAFETY ADVISORY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE The Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee met with Chairman Taylor presiding. Adoption of Agenda Mr. Neil moved for adoption of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Rocha and unanimously carried. Reconsideration - Prioritization of City of Dover State Capital Transportation Program (CTP) Projects During the Regular City Council meeting of October 12, 2020, Council members referred this item back to the Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee. Mr. David Hugg, Director of Planning and Community Enhancement, reviewed the revised 2020 Prioritization of the City of Dover State Capital Transportation Program. Staff recommended approval of the Revised 2020 Prioritization of the City of Dover State Capital Transportation Program (CTP) Projects. Responding to Mr. Anderson regarding item #5 of the Prioritization of the City of Dover State CTP Projects - Sidewalks within the walk zone of the new Dover High School, Mr. Hugg stated that he had communicated the only information he had received. He noted that Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) has a separate program for sidewalk improvements that was not part of their specific Capital Program. Mr. Hugg advised that he did not receive an update that indicated increased activity on that project, other than the recognition that those sidewalks and the sidewalks on Route 13 were critical. Mr. Hugg advised that some of the work had been done as part of the bikeway improvements and that there would be some sidewalk improvements as part of both the Kenton Road and Scarborough intersection. Mr. Hugg stated that he could follow up for additional details. Mayor Christiansen stated that their priority was economic development and, as Chairman of the Dover/Kent County MPO, he had pressed that issue. He stated that it was imperative that they realized that the next area for economic development was the $14.7 million that they invested in Garrison Oak. Mayor Christiansen noted the potential for a Civil Air Terminal to be located next to the Kent County Industrial Park and that the property adjacent to it were prime areas for the manufacturing jobs and warehousing facilities that they needed. He noted that it also had potential as a hub for rapid delivery aircraft, as they had seen an overload at Newark and Philadelphia and other airports. Mayor Christiansen stated that if those areas had easy access to Route 1 and to I-95, they had the potential to have DHL, FedEx, and other major carriers locate there. He noted that there was also potential to bring aircraft repair to the industrial park

Page 36

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 9, 2020 PAGE 32 because they would have a captive audience of people that were well-qualified to repair aircraft. Mayor Christiansen stated that he concurred with moving the State College Road project priority up, particularly between Kenton Road and McKee Road. He noted that anybody that had the opportunity to drive out there knew it was a nightmare. Mr. Lindell moved to recommend approval of the Revised 2020 Prioritization of the City of Dover State Capital Transportation Program (CTP) Projects, as recommended by Staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Hare and unanimously carried. By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for approval of the Committee’s recommendation, seconded by Mr. Lindell and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Cole absent). Mr. Neil moved for adjournment of the Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee meeting, seconded by Mr. Anderson and unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 6:46 p.m. Mr. Neil moved for adjournment of the Council Committee of the Whole meeting. The motion was seconded by Mr. Anderson and unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 6:46 p.m. By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for acceptance of the Council Committee of the Whole Report, seconded by Mr. Lindell and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Cole absent). MONTHLY REPORTS - SEPTEMBER 2020 By motion of Mr. Neil, seconded by Mr. Lindell, the following monthly reports were accepted by consent agenda: City Assessor's Report City Council’s Community Enhancement Fund Report City Manager's Report City Planner's Report Controller/Treasurer's Budget Report Police Chief's Report QUARTERLY REVIEW - CAPITAL INVESTMENT PLAN (CIP) (JULY, AUGUST, AND SEPTEMBER) Members were provided the Quarterly Capital Investment Plan as of September 2020. By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for acceptance of the Quarterly Capital Investment Plan Report as of September 2020. The motion was seconded by Mr. Lindell and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Cole absent).

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 9, 2020 PAGE 33 APPOINTMENT RECOMMENDED BY MAYOR CHRISTIANSEN - PUBLIC ADVISORY COMMITTEE OF THE DOVER/KENT COUNTY MPO - DR. SHANITA A. POWELL (TO FILL THE EXPIRED TERM OF DR. CARLTON L. CANNON, JR. - TERM TO EXPIRE JULY 1, 2022) Mayor Christiansen recommended the appointment of Dr. Shanita A. Powell to serve on the Public Advisory Committee of the Dover/Kent County MPO for a term to expire July 1, 2022 (to fill the expired term of Dr. Carlton L. Cannon, Jr.). By consent agenda, Mr. Neil moved for approval of the appointment of Dr. Shanita A. Powell, as recommended by Mayor Christiansen. The motion was seconded by Mr. Lindell and carried by a unanimous roll call vote (Cole absent). UPDATE ON CODE ENFORCEMENT AND CRIME MITIGATION - REED AND NEW STREETS Mr. Dave Hugg, Director of Planning and Community Development, provided the following update: • Approximately 50 of the 128 enforcement actions in the areas south of Division Street, including Governors Avenue, Queen Street, New Street, Kirkwood Street, and Reed Street to Loockerman Street, were related to tall grass or exterior property maintenance. • There were a number of rental and fire inspections, a few fire complaints, three dangerous buildings, some interior property maintenance questions, and electric cutoffs for nonpayment. • Seventy-five of the 128 units were brought into compliance. Seven were determined not to have an actual violation. 19 active cases were underway and 12 cases were voided or not pursued for some reason. Mr. Hugg reviewed a map of the general area of Reed Street and New Street (Exhibit #1) and advised that the red dots represented the locations of violations or code enforcement actions. He noted that a fair number of them were on South Governors Avenue and New Street, with the majority concentrated in the area north of, or immediately adjacent to, Reed Street. Mr. Sudler advised that he has gone past the Reed Street area often in the past couple of weeks and noticed debris on Reed Street where the graffiti garage is, as well as a lot of people loitering. He asked who the owner of that property was and how much emphasis or influence had been placed on getting that area cleaned up. Mr. Sudler noted that it was very intimidating to be in that area and asked if code enforcement and the police department had partnered to address the situation. He advised that a lot of his constituents are starting to think that the City wants those individuals or elements to stay confined or contained to that location so that they will not spread out to other areas. Mr. Sudler acknowledged that it was an ongoing battle but at one point they appeared to be winning the battle by demolishing buildings that were pre-existing with the Hope Program but now it seemed like people were using that spot to party and it seems like they were starting to go backward instead of forward. Mr. Sudler suggested stepping up a partnership between code enforcement and the police department to focus on the area or maybe set up a mini police station or code enforcement station in the area.

Page 38

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 9, 2020 PAGE 34 Responding, Police Chief Thomas Johnson advised that there is collaboration between code enforcement and the police department. He noted that the police department recognizes that environmental conditions, in addition to crime behavior conditions, matter so they always have an eye towards reporting anything that they can across departmental lines for coordination, particularly when it involves special operations. Police Chief Johnson provided the following update, noting that some of the data was from midsummer and some is year-to-date: • Due to COVID-19, telereporting and online reporting have been encouraged for calls for service and, as a result, the year-to-date numbers are lagging behind 2019. • They looked specifically at the Reed Street corridor from Queen Street to Governors Avenue and about a half a block in either direction. In just that zone this year, nine firearms out of the 42 that had been seized so far citywide had come from enforcement action in that area, which is more than 20%. • From a proactive patrol standpoint the standing order is east-west. When not on other business, the Loockerman Street corridor is to be utilized to increase presence, and the north-south route of preference when traveling from one task to another is the New Street corridor to increase that visibility. • When possible cadets are in that area, not only in the business district, but a block or two in other directions. The additional patrols are scheduled based on their data and they are usually from 7:00 or 8:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. or midnight Thursday through Saturday. The pandemic caused them to decrease their efforts for the protection of the officers. • Ms. Diane Glenn has three active follow-up cases related to domestic violence. They are trying to take the overarching approach and looking at preventative measures with standard operating practices and additional overtime efforts when they have that discretion and those resources available. • They, along with Mr. Hugg, Mayor Christiansen, and other elected officials, are participating in discussions with NCALL and Habitat for Humanity to try and get stakeholder input. Mr. Taylor stated that the data is important, but the area of New Street and Reed Street does not pass the eye test. He advised that people are saying that they are unsafe and do not feel safe in that area and he requested stepped-up enforcement of loitering, drunk on the highway, and other City ordinances because the area is a legitimate concern. Mr. Neil asked if the decrease in complaints from 31,228 in 2019 to 24,796 in 2020 and the decrease in traffic arrests were related to COVID-19. Responding, Chief Johnson stated that the vast majority of the decreases were COVID-related because they made an operational decision, in collaboration with more than just the police department, that relatively minor infractions were going to be handled in a way that was not typically how they would address those traffic concerns. He advised that right after the 4th of July holiday, when COVID rates were going down, they returned to proactive

Page 39

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 9, 2020 PAGE 35 enforcement of traffic violations. Mr. Rocha advised that the people who have been in contact with him were running out of patience. He asked what the Chief envisioned for the downtown area once the community policing strategy was implemented. Responding, Chief Johnson advised that, once the eight officers complete the academy, they would be able to supplement the existing cadet foot presence. He noted that it would not be an extra duty detail, rather it would be a part of the core deployment plan. Chief Johnson advised that planning and organizing resources for community policing were ongoing. He noted that in addition to posting officers in uniforms to serve as a deterrent, they also want to bring programs and services in the neighborhood. Mr. Sudler asked Major David Spicer what his thoughts were regarding Reed and New Street. Responding, Major Spicer stated that officers in that area see the loitering on the corner, they see the drug activity, and they take enforcement action when they can. He reiterated that the officers have been asked to travel on New Street when they are going to and from complaints to provide additional presence in that area. Major Spicer also reiterated that foot patrols had been deployed in that area since mid-August. He noted that they made 100 arrests in that one block radius and they are investing in the citywide camera project to assist with investigative resources. Major Spicer cautioned against a zero-tolerance approach that would impact all types of good people. FINAL READING - PROPOSED ORDINANCE #2020-14 The First Reading of the Proposed Ordinance was accomplished during the Council Meeting of October 26, 2020. Council President Hare reminded members of the public that copies of the proposed ordinance were available on the City’s website at www.cityofdover.com under “Government.” Mr. Neil moved that the Final Reading of the proposed ordinance be acknowledged by title only, seconded by Mr. Lindell and unanimously carried. Mr. Matt Harline, Acting City Manager, reviewed the proposed amendments. By motion of Mr. Neil, seconded by Mr. Anderson, Council, by a unanimous roll call vote (Cole absent), adopted Ordinance #2020-14 Project Carry-Forward Budget Balances/Proposed Budget Amendments (Exhibit #2). ACTING CITY MANAGER'S ANNOUNCEMENTS Mr. Matt Harline, Acting City Manager, announced that there had been a number of new COVID-19 infections and, as a result, they have reduced the amount of direct service at the window in the Customer Service and Inspections departments. Additionally, they were working on plans to reduce direct interactions with the public and among staff members by either working from home or splitting shifts to minimize the impact of an infection within a department. Mr. Harline stated that this strategy would aid in continuity of vital services. Mr. Harline reminded members that the library reopened on Tuesday and approximately 600 patrons were in the first day and patronage declined each day with 347 patrons in the library on Saturday.

Page 40

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 9, 2020 PAGE 36 He noted that city staff would like to remain open and that they are also getting feedback that there is an even split between people who would like to see curbside service and in-person service. Mr. Harline thanked members of Council for their support in naming him the Interim City Manager. He advised that he would be on vacation Thursday and Friday of that week and that Mrs. Sharon Duca would be the onsite Acting City Manager in his absence. COUNCIL MEMBERS' ANNOUNCEMENTS Mr. Taylor announced that he would like for the City to review the matter of who owns the paper alleys in his neighborhood, who was responsible for the tornado cleanup, and offer a permanent solution. He advised that he had provided information to City Solicitor Rodriguez for review. Mr. Hare announced that the Delaware Military Support Organization (DMSO) would be assisting Dover Air Force Base in providing Thanksgiving baskets for 263 airmen or low income military families. He encouraged donations of corn, green beans, cranberry sauce, gravy, or mashed potatoes, noting that a list was available on the DMSO Facebook page. Mr. Hare noted that Mayor Christiansen had donated 250 cans of cranberry sauce and 250 boxes of stuffing and Harvest Ridge Winery donated 263 turkeys. Mr. Anderson wished all who serve a happy Veterans day. Mr. Taylor moved for adjournment, seconded by Mr. Rocha and unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 8:18 p.m. TRACI A. McDOWELL CITY CLERK All ordinances, resolutions, motions, and orders adopted by City Council during their Regular Meeting of November 9, 2020 are hereby approved. ROBIN R.

UTILITY COMMITTEE The Utility Committee met with Councilman Slavin presiding in the absence of Chairman Cole. Adoption of Agenda Mr. Sudler moved for adoption of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Taylor and unanimously carried. Evaluation of Bids - SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) Equipment Technology Upgrade (Actionable Item) Mr. Jason Lyon, Water and Wastewater Director, reviewed the background and analysis regarding the evaluation of bids for SCADA Equipment Technology Upgrade. Staff recommended awarding the contract to Freemire & Associates, Inc. for the SCADA Equipment Technology Upgrade, ITB #21-0009WW, for the amount of $197,118. Mr. Neil moved to recommend approval of Staff's recommendation. The motion was seconded by Mr. Taylor and unanimously carried.

Responding to Mr. Taylor, Mr. Lyon stated that the poly-triplex liner is like a sock slipped into the manhole. He advised that they have dealt with inflow and infiltration issues consistently throughout the City and that the poly-triplex liner provides a barrier for any groundwater infiltration. Mr. Lyon noted that it was a preventative maintenance measure to reduce the amount of water being treated by the County unnecessarily. Mr. Taylor expressed his concerns regarding the proposal price and COVID-19. Mr. Lyon stated that they spoke with Remington & Vernick Engineers and he felt confident with the proposal, which is just to create the bid documents and the specifications, not for the construction phase. Responding to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Lyon stated that they have a contract length of 120 days from notice to proceed. He noted a caveat with all the COVID-19 situations and that they may have to do things virtually,

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF NOVEMBER 11, 2020 PAGE 2 so the end of March was the game plan. Mr. Lyon noted that they budgeted the actual construction phase to be scheduled in fiscal year 2023. Mr. Rocha stated that he shared the same concerns as Mr. Taylor and asked what made Mr. Lyon feel confident that Remington and Vernick Engineering could do the work. Responding, Mr. Lyon stated that when they submitted the proposal it came with a statement of understanding, statement of qualifications, references and provided other similar projects that they had done in the past. Mr. Lyon noted that another aspect of the process was there was a question and answer phase of the proposal and each proposer of the five engineering firms had to sign off and say that they have accepted all the specifications and read and understood the addendum. Mr. Neil moved to recommend awarding the contract to Remington & Vernick Engineers for the College Road Pump Station Upgrade Engineering Design, RFP #21-0010WW, for the amount of $17,523, as recommended by Staff.

Responding to Mr. Anderson regarding a new timeframe and the cost, Mr. Lyon stated they have not received anything in writing from the contractor and that they would be onsite the week of November 16, 2020 to complete the punch list items and the programming issues that have arisen since the plan had received substantial completion. Mr. Lyon noted that they anticipated that they would finish that up the week of November 16, 2020 and then they would go into a conditional acceptance for 30 days. Mr. Lyon advised that if anything went wrong in those 30 days, the contractor would have to come back and fix it with no questions asked, which would bring them into mid-December. Mr. Lyon noted that he did not have it in writing. Regarding the amount of money that was provided in that estimate, Mr. Lyon stated that he did have in writing from Duffield that their estimate for $39,000 would go through the end of October and that it was very conservative. He noted that they felt that $39,000 was an ample amount to finish their aspect of the project. Mr. Lyon stated that he had reviewed their work logs and confirmed that. He noted that although the committee action form and attachment indicated October 30, 2020, he does have it in writing that they feel confident that they can run this out even past December if they need to. Mr. Anderson moved to recommend approval of the proposed amendment to the construction support services by Duffield Associates, in the amount of $39,000, as recommended by Staff. The motion was seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF NOVEMBER 11, 2020 PAGE 3 Mr. Neil moved for adjournment of the Utility Committee meeting, seconded by Mr. Rocha and unanimously carried. Meeting adjourned at 6:29 p.m. PARKS, RECREATION, AND COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT COMMITTEE The Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee met with Chairman Anderson presiding. Adoption of Agenda Mr. Sudler moved for approval of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Neil and unanimously carried. Proposed Revision to the Reciprocal Borrowing Agreement (Informational Item) Mr. Matthew Harline, Acting City Manager, reviewed the proposed revisions to the Reciprocal Borrowing Agreement. Mr. Brian Sylvester, Library Director, stated that all four of the municipalities were reviewing the proposal and if there was any feedback that Committee or Council members would like for him to bring back to the next meeting of the library directors on November 17, 2020, he would be happy to take that to the directors. Responding to Mr. Sudler regarding negative components, Mr. Sylvester stated that when there is a surplus balance in the account, the County would distribute it five ways, not just to the four member libraries in the agreement, but also to the Kent County Library. He advised that under the proposal, the Kent County library would not receive any funding even when there is a surplus. Mr. Sylvester stated that from the County's perspective that could be considered a downside, but as far as the four member libraries, this would result in increased funding and a more stable funding source because they would not have that surplus that built up. Mr. Harline noted that the possible downside would be that the County could say no. He stated that it requires a legislative change at the County level. Responding to Col. Dix, Mr. Sylvester stated the calculation is based on circulation, an item physically being checked out. He advised that under the current agreement, each of those transactions was valued at $2.65. Mr. Sylvester stated that he was proposing to use those same numbers, but instead of linking it to the actual physical number of times a book has changed hands, they were looking at the percentage of the total. Responding to Col. Dix, Mr. Harline stated they have a budget to order books. He advised that a lot of the money goes directly towards materials, including materials that are not books. He noted that they use very little City money for materials that are not actual hard books. Mr. Neil moved to endorse the proposed revisions of the Reciprocal Borrowing Agreement, seconded by Mr. Sudler and unanimously carried. Mr. Neil moved for adjournment of the Parks, Recreation, and Community Enhancement Committee meeting. The motion was seconded by Mr. Sudler.

COMMITTEE INFORMATIONAL ITEM PROCEEDING: Council Committee of the Whole; Legislative, Finance and Administration Meeting DEPARTMENT OF ORIGIN: Police Department DATE SUBMITTED November 13, 2020 PREPARED BY: Captain Chris Hermance / Administrative Division Commander SUBJECT: Dover Police Department - CIP Project: Police Station Computer Wiring Upgrade (PD2104) REFERENCE: CIP Budget, Projects PD2104 RELATED PROJECT: N/A REVIEWED BY: Matt Harline, Interim City Manager EXHIBITS: None EXPENDITURE REQUIRED: $122,654.22 PROJECT BUDGET: $175,400 FUNDING SOURCE (Dept./Page in CIP & Budget): Police Department, CIP Project PD2104, Name: Police Station Voice/Data Infrastructure Upgrade/Replacement, Account No: 101-11-17-00-000-54031 BUDGET IMPACT: Yes. Already budgeted. Proposal in below budgeted amount. BACKGROUND CIP project PD2104 was submitted for funding because the current Cat 5 wiring infrastructure within the Police Station is becoming obsolete and starting to fail. This is the wiring in the building that supports the connectivity for all data from computers and voice instruments in the building with all external computer systems controlled by the State and the City of Dover. As technology progresses, the amount of data that passes through this infrastructure increases exponentially so the increasing the bulk of data slows down the network and eventually connectivity fails. The project upgrades the wiring in the building to Cat 6 and also upgrades all the connections in the communications wiring boxes located on each floor of the station that control the connectivity of technology equipment for both normal and emergency operations powered by the emergency generator. Most of the work for the project will be completed by contractor personnel, however, there are some smaller parts that are planned to be completed by Police Dept IT personnel which will require the purchase of additional supplies separately later. There is a Delaware state contract in place for this type of work and these contracts are awarded based on a competitive bidding process and the contracts are updated regularly. The contract for Data and Voice Structured Cabling last year had several vendors awarded to perform these services. In preparation for the FY21 budget last November, Chris Menge, the Police Dept IT Manager, contacted Under/Comm, Inc. for pricing since they were an awarded vendor on the contract. However, a new state contract, GSS16441-DATA_CBL, was awarded on 7/1/20 which added additional vendors to the award

list. Under/Comm, Inc., was still on the list and Assurance Media, LLC, was a new minority vendor that was added to the award list and their minority vendor number is DE19023130. As a result, both vendors were contacted. Chris Menge worked with both vendors to ensure the pricing received was comparable and the pricing submitted follows: Vendor (Address) Proposal Amount Under/Comm, Inc. (198 Mullet Run, Milford, DE) $121,291.66 Assurance Media, LLC. (590 Century Blvd, Suite B, Wilmington, DE) $122,654.22 Police Department interviewed both vendors and requested proposals. Staff requests that the city award the contract to Assurance Media, LLC. Although they are not the lowest cost option, they are a minority business and their price is only 1.1% over the lower proposal, which is well within the 3% allowed for minority vendor preference by the City of Dover Purchasing Policy. Assurance Media, LLC., the preferred vendor for this project, is a minority-status vendor and has 45 technicians on staff, two of which are Registered Distribution Designers. The City Manager’s Office agrees that the project does not need further Council action because the project is: • Approved in the FY21 budget and the cost in under budget; • Will employ an approved vendor that has been vetted by a competitive state contract GSS16441- DATA_CBL; • The PD interviewed two vendors under state contract and chose a vendor that was a registered minority vendor DE19023130; • Although the cost for the chosen vendor is 1.1% greater than the other vendor, the percentage is less than the 3% preference that would apply if this were put out for a formal RFP. Because the PD is already working on improvements in the dispatch area, it would make the project work much more smoothly and efficiently if they are allowed to proceed without formal action at the CCOW and City Council meetings.
