2. Current Workload - CChampions cu rrently has 227,711 active registrations in our proCHAMP registry program administered by a large team of review professionals to ensure the quality of these registrations and alt related data. Additionally, our review team processes hundreds of support requests weekly in response to requests from responsible parties, Government staff and other related entities while maintaining a 3-5 day turnaround standard for response.

3. Financial Responsibility - The CChampions' registry program is completely transparent in the sense that any government employee can securely log in at any time from any location and view their registration data. This includes registration processing specific to properties registered and payments collected. All communities are provided a monthly remittance report detailing the number of properties registered accom panied by a check for those properties that were registered that particular month. It's also important to note CChampions dedicates a portion of our registration revenues to supporting local non-profits in the rehabilitation of properties in a number of communities across the State of Florida that are partners with us.

4. Ability to Observe and Advise whether plans and specifications are being complied withf where applicable - CChampions' Management Teams are always available respond to the various plans and speCifications in each of our communities to include the fact that each community has an assigned team of reviewers intimately knowledgeable of the requirements of a particular community.

5. Past and present record of professional accomplishments with city agencies and others -

• Recognized in 2015 for our best practice programs by o I.C.M.A. - International City Manager's Association o F.A.C.E. - Florida Association of Code Enforcement o F.C.C.M.A. - Florida City and County Manager's Association

• Completed a number of rehabilitation projects in the City of Jacksonville working with the Jacksonville Community Development Coalition Corporation

• Successfully worked with approximately 6-8 communities in Florida to integrate Code Enforcement data into our PRO CHAMP registry platform thereby eliminating redundant processes for local Government in entering Code Violations into their systems


Gommunitu •• I!-. •. CHAMPION/S ,"WII)

6. Proximity to the project - While the property registration program is driven by technology, our corporate office is located in Melbourne, Florida and therefore reasonably close to the City of Jacksonville. CChampions also has an satellite office located at 1501 N. Main St., Jacksonville. FL, 32206.

7. Past and present demonstrated commitment to small and minority business and contributions toward a diverse marketplace. - CChampions endeavors to meet or exceed expectations in this area and honors all community mandates with respect to working with minority owned/run businesses.

8. Ability to design an approach and work plan to meet the project requirements - In addition to the CChampions' review team and management teams, CChampions has Code Enforcement professionals that not only meet with staff twice annually, but are available at all times to address any concerns or project initiatives that may arise outside the scope of the bi-annual visits.

CChampions will provide all the required services necessary to develop and implement the property registry and fee collection program in accordance with the requirements of the City's adopted Ordinance, applicable State of Florida laws, Federal laws, and shall include, but is not limited to, the following:

A. prOCHAMP (web-based property registration application)

At the center of the CChampions property registration program is our prOCHAMP web·based application.

prOCHAMP facilitates all registration processes, activities, collaboration and communications. Its primary strengths include ease of use, security and accessibility from any device with an internet connection. proCHAMP is proposed to be a collaborative tool for code enforcement and all other public safety agencies to view the registration, occupancy and foreclosure status of properties in Jacksonville.

Additional proprietary features of the proCHAMP web~based application include:

• Diminishes inaccurate registration data, by requiring the registrant to choose the property merged from public record instead of manually registering data that may be more likely to diminish data integrity.

• Neighbors and Homeowners of both potential and/or registered properties can take advantage of the citizen's request feature, that will send automated emails to code enforcement or other designated government officials and agencies while also notifying the mortgagee/responsible party and property manager via email.

• Secure and encrypted access


Gommunitu .• "-. •. CHAMPIO~k ~U)

• GIS / Mapping views and capabilities

• Automated receipt, confirmation, renewal, update and other notifications.

prOCHAMP has evolved over several years of development and it leads the industry in capabilities, accessibility, reliability and quality assurance. In fact, more properties are registered with proCHAMP than with any other application in the country.

In order to continue to lead all other property registration systems we regularly gather feedback from our partner communities and continue to build a roadmap of innovative features that will continue to improve our processes, simplify the user experience and continue to provide the most effective registration solution available.

B. Property Data Collection and Analysis

CChampions collects and compiles up"to-date property, foreclosure, violation, lien and vacancy data from public and 3rd party data resources creating a 360·degree view of the property. CChampions analyzes this data through automated business rules and qualifies the need to register.

The compiled data records provide visibility into potential properties that are or have been subject to registration. This data is made accessible to a1\ GOVT staff via secure access to prOCHAMP. The compiled property data is not only useful for determining registration compliance but can also useful for many other government programs. For example, the data can be useful for first responders in identify occupancy status of a foreclosed property and in the identification oftarget properties for Neighborhood Stabilization Funds and other Grants.

C. Proactive Registration Services

Implementing proactive identification, assignment, notification and enforcement, CChampions provides the means for communities to get in front of problems caused by neglected properties and achieves and maintains high registration compliance rates.

CChampions, in accordance with City of Jacksonville's Property Registration Ordinance and utilizing the compiled data, will immediately identify properties qualified for registration.

Properties will be identified that are subject to a mortgage and involved in a foreclosure action or whereby a mortgagee has taken title to a propert;ythrough a foreclosure action or deed-in-Iieu of foreclosure sale.

pro~~.iv~'.~i~h~~~~


Gommunffu •• "-. •• CHAMPIO:r:j/S l.W}

All properties that are identified as needing registration are manually reviewed by the CChampions support team to confirm the obligation to register prior to assignment. Once the obligation is confirmed the support team does the necessary research to determine the current responsible party and then they assign the property for registration.

The CChampions support team also follows this manual review and assignment process for voluntary new registrations, on deregistration and on annual renewal.

Pf:§,~¢.tJY~,~~h CChampions maintains a proprietary database of key contacts within Real Estate, Property Preservation, Banking, and Lending organizations. This proprietary responSible party contact database includes contact information for the managers of various business units and departments of the largest lending institutions.

CChampions will use this proprietary database and its ongoing relationships to proactively notify and ensure responsible parties have up to date ordinance information and understand their obligations to comply with registration and resolve any active violations.

Responsible parties are notified via email of all non-compliant property registrations. These notifications are tracked and viewable securely by GOVT staff in proCHAMP.

CChampions will also make contact with the state, regional, and [ocal mortgagees and provide ordinance requirements, process and procedural training, and support for registration.

,pr0i;iCtivfr~nfP~fijii.nt ",~" ... I •••• ,.. ~ .. "" .. ~" •• ," ",_ ' .. ~.' . _ ......... ,,_

If after repeated notifications the property registration remains non-compliant then enforcement may be necessary. GOVT staff will have access to detailed reports of all non-compliant Registrations.

Our code enforcement experts will work collaboratively with the City of Jacksonville to establish a collaborative enforcement plan. For repeat and high volume offenders our code enforcement experts will assist where possible in the enforcement process.

D. Registration (Data and Fee Collection)

.~~~i~V~*~o.n,'~~~ prOCHAMP provides a' web-based electronic registration form. After selecting a property from proCHAMP property database, the mortgagee or responsible party completes the ~orm by providing the following information:

• Mortgagee; name, contact, address, telephone, email. • Servicer; name, contact, address, telephone, email • Foreclosure Status


Gommunitu .• i.4L •• CHAMPIO~/s l.W1IJ

• Occupancy Status • Last Inspection Date. • Property Management Company; name, contact, address, telephone,

email.

Note: All responsible party organization and contact information goes through quality control validation by CChampions support staff and is controlled by prOCHAMP.

[fijt~~!!~~~f~i'§ As part of our Property Registration Program we manage the entire registration fee collection process for our community partners. We've streamlined this process to benefit both responsible parties and to improve compliance. We provide multiple means of collecting registration fees both online and through traditional channels. These include:

• Pay Online - using any major credit card • Pay by Invoice/Check • Pay by ACH • Pay by DPP (Deferred Payment program) - DPP is similar to online payment

minus the credit card fees. This is a unique payment method that makes it easier and less costly for Responsible Parties to pay their registration fees and in so doing improves compliance.

Our payment process is seamless for our Community Partners. At anytime our partners can get a real time report of all registration payments through proCHAMP. Monthly we provide a detailed remittance report and a deposit to equal Jacksonville's portion of the registration fees received.

At all times GOVT staff have complete visibility and audit capability of registration and payment processing.

Note: In preparation for supporting Jacksonville's amended ordinance CChampions is in the process of adding support for the collection of Late Fees and Update Fees to be included in prOCHAMP.

E. Registration Support Services

CChampions assigns a dedicated registration support team to respond to all registration support questions or concerns. Support questions range from disputes surrounding the obligation to register, simple property address validation and request for assistance wIth registration. The CChampions support team currently responds to hundreds of support requests from responsible parties weekly.

Upon selection and contracting CChampions will simply continue managing the program it is already responsible for.

Training

CChampions provides GOVT staff both custom and standard onsite and online training. As need CChampions will conduct custom on-site and/or online trainings to familiarizing staff with prOCHAMP and the registry processes.

Also CChampions will make available to staff unlimited, online training which is provided by CChampions staff every other Wednesday and can be scheduled via proCHAMP or by sending an email [email protected].

Reporting

prOCHAMP provides extensive real time reporting capabilities. These reports are exportable to Excel spreadsheets for additional customization and analysis. Also, custom reports will be provided by CChampions upon request.

Also, to ensure all Jacksonville and CChamplons staff are in sync we will conduct a biannual health check. During these health checks we will review reports on registrations, non-compliance, foreclosure trends, etc. Additional calls or meetings can be scheduled and will be provided at the discretion and convenience of the government partner's staff.

Our registration revenue share agreements simply state that CChampions retains $100.00 of each registration processed/collected with the remainder going to the community. CChampions reserves the right to approach the city to renegotiate fees for each renewal year.

Late Registration Fee - Jacksonville's ordinance requires a $50 late fee. When collected this $50 late fee will be entirely remitted by CChampions to the community.

Registration Update Fee - Jacksonville's ordinance requires a $50 update fee. This $50 update fee will be retained by CChampions with no portion being remitted to the community

10, The volume of current and prior work performed for using agencies shall be considered a minus factor - CChampions does not petiorm any other services for the City of Jacksonville.
