Consideration of Consent Agenda Board Meeting 4-6-17

Consent Agenda: A roll call of individual action items will determine the consent agenda. If a trustee

has a question or plans to cast a negative vote regarding a specific recommendation, then the trustee/trustees need to acknowledge their intention to the Chair by show of hand during the roll call: this action item will be considered in the regular order of business as an individual action item.

Those action items that the trustees plan to approve without further question or discussion will be placed on the consent agenda during roll call of individual action items. Upon the creation of the consent agenda, a motion, a second to the motion, and unanimous approval of the Board of Trustees is needed to approve the action items. Upon approval of the consent agenda, the Board of Trustees will proceed with the remainder of the agenda.

Rationale: The consent agenda format is an organization process for meetings that allows the governing board to focus their time and attention on action items that require more elaboration, information, and/or discussion.

SECTION IV – HUMAN RESOURCES

IV.A. HIRING

IV.A.1. Hiring Practices

IV.A.1.1. Policy

The College does not deny initial employment or reemployment in any manner that violates local, state, or federal law. The College fills all employment positions with candidates meeting the position’s required minimum qualifications. An applicant that meets the minimum qualifications of a position is a qualified candidate.

(a) Non-Faculty Position Searches The Chancellor, or a designee, may appoint individuals into non-faculty positions for which the individual meets at least the minimum qualifications. When the Chancellor, or a designee, does not directly-appoint an individual into a non-faculty position, the vacant or new position will be advertised internally and externally to solicit qualified candidates through an official search stewarded by the Office of Human Resources. The Chancellor, or a designee, may elect to direct appoint an individual or go through a formal, official search for non-faculty positions. Only the Board of Trustees, however, may ratify or approve employment contracts.

(b) Faculty Position Searches All vacant or new faculty positions will be advertised internally and externally to solicit qualified candidates through an official search stewarded by the Office of Human Resources. No college administrator may direct-appoint a full-time faculty member—this includes moving an adjunct faculty member into a full-time faculty member position. A department chair, instructional dean, vice president of instruction, or college president may directly appoint an individual into an adjunct faculty member position (or may elect to conduct a search as well).

(c) Administrative Positions All vacant or new college administrator positions will be advertised internally and externally to solicit qualified candidates through an official search stewarded by the Office of Human Resources. No college administrator may direct-appoint an individual into a college administrator position. College administrator positions exhaustively include—solely for the purposes of this subsection—deans, vice presidents, and the college’s president. Official searches under this subsection must include at least one full-time faculty member—selected by the college president—on the screening, search, or hiring committee.

(d) Search Integrity Applicants that do not meet the application submission deadline, or who otherwise do not participate in the official search, if applicable, cannot be hired for any such position once the official search begins. Applicants and search committee members cannot be related within the second degree by affinity or within the third degree by consanguinity. Search committee members are ineligible to become applicants once the search committee is selected. Search committee

members interested in applying for a position must decline participation on the search, screening, or hiring committee for that position.

(e) Nepotism The College may not hire any person related within the second degree by affinity to any Trustee. The College may also not hire any person related within the third degree by consanguinity to any Trustee. The only exception to both just-mentioned rules arises if the College already employed the person before the Trustee’s election or appointment and the person’s prior employment was continuous for at least 30 days (if the Trustee was appointed) or at least six months (if the Trustee was elected).

(f) Chancellor’s Procedures The Board of Trustees specifically empowers and authorizes the Chancellor to develop procedures to implement these policies.

Policy Report and Consideration No. 2 (FIRST READING) Board Meeting 4-6-17

Request: Consideration and Review of the Recommended Revision of the Lone Star College System Board Policy Manual Section VI.B.2. Installment Payment Plans (FIRST READING)


That the Board of Trustees consider and review the revision of the College’s Board Policy Manual Section VI.B.2. Installment Payment Plans amending and clarifying the College’s policy regarding student payment plans.

Rationale: The proposed revision of Section IV.B.2. Installment Payment Plans eliminates the requirement that a student’s last installment payment be completed on the tenth week of class. This revision omits such a requirement and requires only that the last installment payment be made on the “last” week of class. This would allow additional students to qualify for installment payments.

Fourth Edition

VI.B.2. Installment Payment Plans

VI.B.2.01 Policy The College may offer installment payment plans, as specified in the Tuition and Fees Procedures. Payment plans require a student’s first payment before classes begin. Likewise, payment plans require a student’s last payment by the last week of class. Finally, a student who uses a payment plan will pay an extra enrollment fee at enrollment for each semester the student has a payment plan. The College will tell a student about any overdue tuition or fees. Not paying tuition and fees may impact enrollment status. VI.B.2.02 Obtaining an Installment Payment Plan The College requires students to enroll and complete necessary paperwork online for a tuition payment plan. That paperwork will include a written agreement outlining the payment plan’s terms and conditions, a promissory note as collateral for the debt, and the student’s financial aid award assignment covering the student’s tuition or fees.

The following statement in bold-faced type must be included in any student’s signed promissory note: “A student who fails to make full payment of tuition and fees, including any incidental fees, by the due date may be prohibited from registering for classes until full payment is made. A student who fails to make full payment prior to the end of the semester or session may be indefinitely denied a transcript.”

Policy Report and Consideration No. 3 (SECOND READING) Board Meeting 4-6-17

Request: Consideration and Review of the Recommended Revision of the Lone Star College Board Policy Manual Section I.F.1.04. Time and Place (SECOND READING)


That the Board of Trustees consider and review revision of the College’s Board Policy Manual Section I.F.1.04. Time and Place which covers College policies related to when and where the Board of Trustees holds regular and special Board Meetings.

Board Meetings are held in the Board Room of the Training and Development Center at 5000 Research Forest Drive, The Woodlands, Texas, 77381 unless otherwise noticed. Board Meetings are usually held on every month’s first Thursday at 5:00 p.m., except in January when no regular Board Meeting is scheduled. The Board’s practice is to open the meeting and immediately proceed to go into closed session. In no event, however, may the Board Chair reconvene the open session before 6:00 p.m. The Board may decide to meet at a different time, date, or place as long as proper notice is given under the Texas Open Meetings Act. The Board Chair calls special Board Meetings at his or her discretion or upon the request of three or more Trustees.


Request: Consideration and Review of the Recommended Revision of the Lone Star College System Board Policy Manual Section III.C. Cash Management (SECOND READING)


That the Board of Trustees consider and review revision of the College’s Board Policy Manual Section III.C. Cash Management which covers College policies related to management of College debt, investments, and depository accounts.

Rationale: It has been several years since Section III.C. Cash Management has been substantially revised, and several policy matters needed to be revisited and, as necessary, revised or reaffirmed. Section III.C. was also reorganized for clarity, and the Board Policy Review Committee recommends that the Board adopt this proposed revised section.

III.C.1.2. Definitions (a) Debt Instruments means bonds or notes issued by the College, including general

obligation bonds, maintenance tax notes, revenue bonds, and lease revenue bonds.

(b) Debt Management Procedures means College procedures that clearly lay out acceptable and unacceptable practices for the College to issue new debt and manage outstanding debt.

III.C.1.4. Alternative Structures The College does not use alternative financial management products, such as interest rate swaps or derivatives, in connection with its debt instruments.

III.C.1.5. Maturity No College debt instrument’s repayment term may exceed 30 years. The College maintains its weighted average debt instrument maturity at or below 25 years.

III.C.1.6. Reserves The College maintains reserves to weather any unexpected cash flow variations or financial emergencies. At least annually, the Board sets the College’s minimum level of reserves. To preserve the College’s favorable credit ratings, the Board considers reserve fund guidelines used by credit rating agencies.

III.C.2. Investment Management

III.C.2.1. Policy The College invests available funds after evaluating the College’s anticipated cash flow requirements and giving due consideration to investment safety and risk. The College’s investment portfolio is prudently designed and managed to obtain reasonable revenue without compromising the College’s cash flow needs, to maintain public trust, and to comply with legal

requirements and limitations. This policy applies to all investment assets under the College’s direct control. The College invests with the following objectives in priority order: (1) safety and principal preservation; (2) liquidity; (3) diversification; (4) public trust; and (5) yield. III.C.2.2. Definitions (a) Act means Texas Government Code Chapter 2256, the Public Funds Investment Act. (b) Board means the Board of Trustees with ultimate legal authority to govern the College. (c) Investment Officers means the College’s Vice Chancellor for Administration and

Finance, Associate CFO, the Associate Vice Chancellor for Administration and Finance, including an employee temporarily holding one of those positions in an acting or interim role.

(d) Repurchase Agreement means a simultaneous agreement to buy, hold for a specified time, and sell back at a future date certain authorized investments for a market value not less than the principal amount of funds disbursed.

(e) SEC means the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. III.C.2.3. Purpose and Strategy The Act requires the College to adopt a written investment policy regarding investment of its funds and funds under its control, including a separate written investment strategy for each of the funds or group of funds under its control. At least annually, the Board reviews this investment policy and investment strategies and adopts a written instrument stating that this review has taken place and listing any changes to the investment policy or strategies. This investment policy addresses the methods and practices the College uses to ensure prudent fund management. The College’s overall investment strategy is to properly safeguard College financial assets, provide sufficient liquidity and diversification, and produce a reasonable rate of return while enabling the College to react to changes in economic and market conditions. All investments this policy authorizes are suitable. The longer an investment’s maturity, the greater its price volatility. Therefore, the College primarily invests in short- and intermediate-term investments to limit risk caused by interest rate changes. The College attempts to match its investments with its anticipated cash flow requirements. Cash flow requirements generally divide the portfolio into four major parts: liquidity needs, short-term needs, intermediate-term needs, and longer term, core investment. The College does not purchase investments maturing more than three years from the purchase date.

The College’s investment portfolio is designed to obtain a reasonable return throughout budgetary and economic cycles commensurate with investment risk constraints and cash flow needs. “Weighted Average Yield to Maturity” is used to calculate the portfolio’s rate of return. The College commingles its operating, reserve, trust, and agency funds into one investment portfolio for investment efficiency, accurate distribution of earnings, and maximum investment opportunity. Nevertheless, the College recognizes each fund’s unique characteristics and needs and manages its portfolio accordingly. The maximum dollar weighted average maturity of the entire commingled portfolio reflecting cash flow needs will be no greater than one year, and the corresponding benchmark for the commingled portfolio will be the comparable one-year U.S. Treasury security. Capital projects are managed separately in accordance with their anticipated expenditure schedules and bond document requirements. III.C.2.4. College Fund Investment Strategies (a) General Fund includes all College operating funds including, but not limited to, the

general fund, payroll fund, technology fund, student activity fee fund, repair and replacement fund, and the auxiliary fund. This fund’s primary investment objectives are (1) to preserve and safeguard principal; and (2) to match anticipated cash flows with adequate investment liquidity. These objectives are accomplished by purchasing high credit quality, short- to intermediate-term investments matching cash flow requirements. Funds not needed for short-term cash flow requirements are invested in diversified instruments with diversified maturities readily marketable in the secondary market or, if certificates of deposit, redeemable with or without penalty. Yield may be enhanced by using maturity extensions available within the confines of accurate cash flow projections and market cycle timing. This fund’s maximum weighted average maturity is one year, and the maximum stated maturity for any one investment is three years.

(b) Restricted Fund includes local, state, and federal grant funds and funds from other sources

restricted for instructional use. This fund’s primary investment objectives are (1) to preserve and safeguard principal; (2) to maintain liquidity sufficient to meet anticipated cash flow requirements; and (3) to optimize yield. These objectives are accomplished by purchasing high credit quality, short-term investments, diversified by instrument and maturity, and matching the investments’ maturity with anticipated liabilities. Funds not needed for short-term cash flow requirements are invested in diversified instruments with diversified maturities readily marketable in the secondary market or, if certificates of deposit, redeemable with or without penalty. A ladder of short-term investments with sufficient liquidity from cash equivalent investments may be used to maintain a maximum weighted average maturity of one year, and the maximum stated maturity for any one investment is two years or less.


Fourth Edition

(c) Capital Projects Fund. The Capital Projects Fund’s primary investment objectives are to (1) preserve and safeguard principal; (2) match cash flows from maturities and earnings of diversified investments to anticipated needs; and (3) obtain a reasonable market yield. Considering appropriate risk constraints, investment choices attempt to attain a return equal to or above the arbitrage yield to avoid negative arbitrage. These objectives are accomplished by purchasing high credit quality, short- and intermediate-term investments with maturities closely matching projected cash flow schedules. Funds not needed for short-term cash flow requirements are invested in diversified instruments with diversified maturities readily marketable in the secondary market or, if certificates of deposit, redeemable with or without penalty. An individual security’s maximum maturity will not exceed the shorter of the funds’ planned expenditure span or the maximum length—currently three years—allowed under this policy.

(d) Debt Service Fund. The Debt Service Fund’s primary investment objectives are to

(1) preserve and safeguard capital; and (2) optimize yield to fund debt service payments in accordance with bond documents. Funds not required for immediate liquidity are invested in diversified instruments. Each successive debt service payment is fully funded before extensions are made. This fund’s maximum weighted average maturity is one year.

(e) Trust and Agency Fund includes local scholarship funds, club funds, and other funds for

which the College acts as fiduciary and which have short average lives and high liquidity needs. This fund’s primary investment objectives are to ensure safety, liquidity, diversification, and yield. These objectives are accomplished by purchasing high credit quality, short-term investments and cash equivalents for liquidity. An individual security’s maximum maturity is one year and the fund’s maximum weighted average maturity is six months.

III.C.2.5. Prudent Person Rule When investing for the College, investment officers consider prevailing internal and market circumstances which persons of prudence, discretion, and intelligence would exercise when managing their own affairs—not for speculation, but for investment. Investment officers consider the probable safety of capital as well as probable income from an investment decision. When determining if an investment officer exercised prudence in an investment decision, reviewers consider the investment of all funds rather than a single investment and whether the investment decision was consistent with this investment policy. III.C.2.6. Credit Rating Downgrades At least quarterly, investment officers obtain from a reliable source the current credit rating for each College investment for which the Act requires a minimum rating. Investment officers meet to discuss any investment which has been downgraded or placed on credit-watch to evaluate and take any necessary and prudent measures to assure the safety of College funds.


Fourth Edition

As quickly as prudently possible, the College liquidates any investment that becomes unauthorized or loses its required credit rating. III.C.2.7. Authority and Delegation The Act authorizes the College to manage College investments and to delegate such management. III.C.2.8. Investment Officers The Board designates the College’s investment officers and delegates to them responsibility to manage the College’s investment program under the Chancellor’s supervision. The Board retains ultimate fiduciary responsibility for College investments. Investment officers are responsible for all investment transactions, and they establish and maintain controls to regulate subordinates’ activities. No person may engage in an investment transaction for the College except as set forth in this policy and relevant Chancellor’s procedures. Investment officers acting in good faith under relevant policies and procedures are not personally liable for investment results. Investment officers report to the Board quarterly on investment results and annually on counterparties. No later than the 180th day after the 1st day of each regular session of the Texas Legislature, investment officers prepare and deliver a report to the Board on the Act. III.C.2.9. Investment Training The College provides access to periodic investment training for trustees, investment officers, and other investment personnel through courses and seminars offered by professional organizations, associations, and other independent sources in compliance with the Act. Within six months after taking office or assuming duties, trustees and investment officers must acquire at least the minimum investment training required by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. Training must include education in investment controls, security risks, strategy risks, market risks, diversification of investment portfolio, and compliance with the Act. In addition, the College’s Administration and Finance staff directly involved with day-to-day investment operations will attend training about the Act not less than once each state fiscal biennium. Investment officers also complete at least the minimum required hours of training not less than once each state fiscal biennium. An independent source approved by the Board provides all such training. The following are Board-approved training providers: 1. American Institute of Certified Public Accountants 2. Arbitrage Compliance Group 3. Association of Governmental Accountants 4. City Managers’ Association

Ethics and Disclosure of Conflicts of Interest Investment officers and other College employees involved in the investment process refrain from personal business activity that could (1) conflict with properly executing the investment program or (2) impair their ability to make impartial investment decisions. Investment officers disclose potential conflicts of interest annually and as conditions change. Investment officers file a disclosure statement with the Texas Ethics Commission and the Board if: (a) The investment officer has a personal business relationship with a business organization

offering to engage in an investment transaction with the College; or (b) The investment officer is related within the second degree by affinity or consanguinity, as

determined under Texas Government Code Chapter 573, to an individual seeking to transact investment business with the College.

Annual Board Review of Brokers/Dealers The Board annually adopts a list of qualified brokers/dealers authorized to engage in investment transactions with the College. The Board considers service, market involvement, and creditworthiness when selecting brokers/dealers to provide brokerage services. Selected firms may include primary dealers and regional dealers qualifying under the SEC’s uniform net capital rule. Each year, investment officers review and evaluate firms authorized to enter into investment transactions with the College. Their review and evaluation may include the following criteria: (a) Number of transactions competitively won/attempted;

(b) Prompt and accurate confirmation of transactions;

(c) Efficiency of transaction settlement;

(d) Accuracy of market information; and

(e) Account servicing. After their review and evaluation, investment officers recommend to the Board a list of firms to authorize to enter into investment transactions with the College for the following year. III.C.2.13.

Repurchase agreements must be purchased through a primary government securities dealer, as defined by the Federal Reserve, or a financial institution doing business in Texas. A mutually acceptable master repurchase agreement must be executed prior to the transaction. Underlying securities must have a continuous market value greater than or equal to 102 percent. The transaction must have a maximum maturity of 120 days, except flexible repurchase agreements used for bond proceeds. A flexible repurchase agreement’s maximum maturity is matched to cash flow projections and the requirements of the governing bond ordinance;

III.C.2.14. Securities Held by Custodians All securities owned by the College are held by independent third party custodians approved by the College. The delivery shall be made under normal and recognized practices in the securities and banking industries, including the book entry procedure of the Federal Reserve Bank. III.C.2.15. Delivery versus Payment Except for investment pool funds and mutual funds, the College settles all security transactions on a delivery versus payment basis. III.C.2.16. Competition College investment activities occur in a competitive environment. Competitive elements include, but are not limited to, analyzing strategies, reviewing investment alternatives, monitoring market conditions, requesting solicitations from multiple investment providers, adhering to applicable “bona fide solicitation” rules, and overall performance evaluations. The College may compare and evaluate, but does not require formal bidding, before investing in financial institution deposits, money market mutual funds, or local government investment pools. Bids or offers may be solicited orally, in writing, or electronically for securities and certificates of deposit. The College maintains records of all prices and levels bid, offered, or accepted. III.C.2.17. Diversification The College recognizes investment risks from issuer defaults, market price changes, or complications leading to temporary illiquidity. The College manages market risks by diversifying its portfolio within the following general guidelines: (a) Avoid over-concentration in investments from a specific issuer or business sector;

(b) Limit investments with higher credit risk (such as commercial paper);

(c) Invest in instruments with varying maturities to meet the College’s cash flow projections;

Internal Controls Internal controls provide reasonable assurance that College funds are protected from loss, theft, or misuse. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that a control’s cost should not significantly exceed the benefits likely to be derived therefrom and that valuing costs and benefits requires estimates and judgments by management. Internal controls for cash management and investment address at least the following points: (a) Complete documentation of all transactions;

(b) Collusion control;

(c) Accounting and recordkeeping separation;

(d) Custodial safekeeping;

(e) Clear delegation of authority to subordinate staff members;

The College elects to adhere to the Act’s provisions insofar as they would apply to a standard public entity and to satisfy any special provisions of the Act that clearly apply to the College. The collateral’s market value must be 102 percent of the principal and accrued interest on the College’s deposits less any amount insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the United States. At least monthly, depositories report to the College the total market value of collateral securing College deposits.

The custodian bank must qualify under Section 2257.041(d) of the Act (or successor statute) as amended. The parties may also use a custody agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank as defined in Operating Circular Number 7. Custody agreements specify acceptable securities for collateral and include provisions for possessing the collateral, substituting or releasing securities with prior College approval, documenting the pledge of securities, and monthly reporting on collateral valuation. The College requires and retains original trust receipts for pledged securities. Custody agreements require custodian banks to monitor and maintain the required collateral and collateral margins at all times.

Non-Retaliation The College may not suspend or terminate the employment of an employee who in good faith reports a violation of law by the College or another public employee to an appropriate law enforcement authority.2 Moreover, the College prohibits retaliation against any College employee or student for reporting a Serious Act of Dishonesty or Fraud in good faith. However, individuals may face adverse consequences for knowingly making false reports.

Policy Report and Consideration No. 6 (ACTION ITEM 1) Board Meeting 4-6-17

Request: Consideration and Approval of the Recommended Revision of the Lone Star College System Board Policy Manual Section II.F. Weapons on Premises


That the Board of Trustees consider and approve the revision of the College’s Board Policy Manual Section II.F. Weapons on Premises which covers College policies related to the carrying of firearms and prohibited weapons under Texas criminal statutes on College premises or at College-sponsored events.

Rationale: Texas law requires public junior colleges to permit concealed carry of handguns by licensed adults on campus beginning August 1, 2017. That same law requires the Chancellor to adopt rules regarding concealed carry after receiving input from faculty, students, and staff. The existing version of Section II.F. contains redundant provisions and does not contemplate concealed carry of handguns on campus. The proposed revision is succinct and recognizes the Chancellor’s role in regulating concealed carry with input from members of the College community. By state law, the Board of Trustees must review all rules related to concealed carry on campus within 90 days of their adoption and may amend such rules by a 2/3 vote. The College must report its concealed carry rules and the rationales therefor to the legislature by September 1 of each even-numbered year.

Fourth Edition

II.F. WEAPONS ON PREMISES

II.F.1. Policy The Chancellor develops, maintains, and enforces rules regarding licensed individuals carrying handguns on College premises. These rules are found in the Chancellor’s Procedures. Unless allowed by the Chancellor’s Procedures, authorized LSC Police Department regulations, state law, or federal law, a person shall not knowingly, intentionally, or recklessly enter College premises or College-sponsored events with a firearm or any prohibited weapon listed in Texas Penal Code § 46.05(a). Such a violation may result in disciplinary action—up to termination for employees or expulsion for students—and possible criminal charges, as applicable.

In compliance with Texas Education Code 44.031 (a), a Request for Proposal (“RFP”) #486 was publicly advertised and two responses were received. The evaluation of the proposals was conducted based on price; qualifications, experience, and service needs met; quality of services; references; past performance; the extent to which certified historically underutilized business (“HUB”), minority and/or veteran or women-owned businesses are utilized; long-term cost; and enhanced services and completeness as well as thoroughness of proposal.

Rationale: At the December 3, 2015 meeting, the Board of Trustees authorized the Chancellor or designee to negotiate and execute a contract with Tellepsen to purchase construction manager at risk (“CMAR”) services in a sum not exceeding $2,000,000 for the Petrochemical/Refinery Simulation Training Laboratory at the LSC-Kingwood Process Technology Center through a formal Request for Proposal process in compliance with Texas Government Code Section 2269.253.

Request: Consideration of Approval to Authorize the Chancellor or Designee to Negotiate and Execute a Contract Amendment on Behalf of the College with the LSC-East Aldine Satellite Center Construction Manager at Risk (“CMAR”) Firm to Add Construction Services for the Aldine Independent School District (“AISD”) MacArthur Early College Facility (“Facility”)


That the Board of Trustees authorize the Chancellor or designee to negotiate and execute a contract amendment on behalf of the College with Bartlett Cocke General Contractors (“Bartlett Cocke”), 4540 Kendrick Lane, Suite 120, Houston, Texas 77032, to add construction services for the AISD Facility, including pre-construction services in the sum of $44,868.

Rationale: At the September 4, 2014 meeting, the Board of Trustees authorized the Chancellor or designee to negotiate and execute a contract with Bartlett Cocke to provide CMAR services for the LSC-East Aldine Satellite Center through a formal Request for Qualifications process in compliance with Texas Code §2254.004. Subsequently, at the March 3, 2016 meeting, the Board of Trustees approved using General Obligation Bonds to fund the LSC-East Aldine Satellite Center.

This proposed contract amendment will allow Bartlett Cocke to provide construction services for the AISD Facility in addition to the LSC-East Aldine Satellite Center.

The request for qualifications process allows Bartlett Cocke to be awarded other projects. The award of this project to Bartlett Cocke is appropriate as the AISD Facility is connected to the LSC-East Aldine Satellite Center and the facilities will share infrastructure. The College is facilitating the construction of the AISD Facility and AISD will be paying for the project as outlined in the interlocal agreement approved by the Board of Trustees in September 2016. The executed interlocal agreement names Bartlett Cocke as the contractor for both the AISD Facility and LSC-East Aldine Satellite Center.

The guaranteed maximum price contract for construction and related services will be forthcoming once the design for the projects are complete and bids are received from subcontractors.

Fiscal Impact: AISD has deposited $16 million of funds in an escrow account with the College pursuant to the terms of the interlocal agreement approved by the Board of Trustees at the September 2016 Board Meeting. These escrowed

Exhibit "O"

funds will be used to pay for costs related to the AISD Facility, including the pre-construction services of $44,868, upon approval by AISD.

Rationale: This purchase is for the acquisition and installation of audio/visual systems for the LSC-CyFair Information Technology & Visual Communications Satellite Center which is expected to open for classes in Spring 2018.

On August 1, 2013, the Board of Trustees authorized the Chancellor or designee to negotiate and execute contracts with the vendors listed below to purchase audio/visual equipment, installation and integration services, and maintenance and repair services through a formal Request for Proposal process in compliance with Texas Education Code Section §44.031 (a). The Board of Trustees approved a cumulative not-to-exceed sum of $10,000,000 over a maximum five-year period. Quotes are requested from all vendors for each purchase with an estimated cost exceeding $50,000.

On December 1, 2016, the Board of Trustees approved the addition of language that contract sums totaling $500,000 or more will be individually presented to the Board of Trustees for approval.

Request: Consideration of Ratification of the Chancellor’s or Designee’s Executed Commercial Tenant Lease Agreements


That the Board of Trustees ratify the Chancellor’s or designee’s executed commercial tenant lease agreements including any commitments and payments that have been made or are required to be made to the tenants under the lease agreements. A list of the lease agreements and pertinent information is summarized in Exhibit A.

Rationale: Board Policy requires approval of lease agreements with a cumulative value of $100,000 or more during the lease term including tenant improvements and other costs associated with executing the lease. Commercial leases generally require payment of real estate broker commissions and tenant improvements (“TI”) by the College per commercial leasing industry practices. Broker commissions and TI paid by the College are amortized over the term of the tenant’s lease and reimbursed to the College by the tenant as a component of the rental income.

Core building upgrades may be required to make the space ready for tenant occupancy. These costs are paid directly by the College as the landlord.

Fiscal Impact: Broker commissions have been paid from the annual Auxiliary budget. Tenant Improvements were paid from cash reserves. Both of these payments are reimbursed through the rental income received by the College over the lease term. Below is a summary of the total TI and broker commission commitments under the commercial tenant leases, the amount reimbursed through 8/31/2016 and the balance due from the tenants as of that date.

Broker Commissions

Tenant Improvements

Commitments Under the Lease Agreements

$1,760325 $14,896,205

Reimbursements thru 8/31/2016 $ 425,461 $ 8,836,983 Balance Due from Tenants $1,334,864 $ 6,059,222

Core building upgrades totaling $3.76 million were paid from cash reserves.

Request: Consideration of Approval to Authorize the Chancellor or Designee to Negotiate and Execute Master Service Contracts on Behalf of the College to Purchase Facility Related Painting, Finishing, and Flooring Services


That the Board of Trustees authorize the Chancellor or designee to negotiate and execute master service contracts on behalf of the College to purchase facility related painting, finishing, and flooring services for the College. The scope of the award is for individual projects that cost less than $100,000. Total estimated annual costs for these services are expected to be $300,000, and will not exceed $1,500,000 over the five-year contract term. See attached listing for recommended and existing vendors.

The term of this award is for an initial three years with the option to renew for two additional one-year periods. The College reserves the right to cancel any agreement upon 30 days’ written notice without cause. Hourly rates will remain fixed for the first year. Rate adjustments may be considered for subsequent years upon receipt of written justification supported by an increase in trade rates, inflation, or other measure as approved by the College. Quotes will be requested from all awarded vendors for projects exceeding $10,000.

Rationale: These services are required to expedite the turn-around time for minor projects, maintenance, and repairs for the college facilities, and ensure a safe, clean, and operable environment for students, faculty, and staff.

In compliance with Texas Education Code 44.031 (a), Competitive Sealed Proposals (“CSP) #476 and #477 were publicly advertised and 12 responses were received.

The evaluations were based on price; qualifications; quality of services; safety program; the extent to which certified HUB, minority, veteran and/or women-owned businesses are utilized; proposed personnel; past performance; and enhanced services and completeness as well as thoroughness of proposal.

At the April 9, 2015 board meeting, the Board of Trustees approved a list of five firms to provide painting and finishing and flooring services. A larger pool of vendors is required to perform these services. To the extent an existing vendor did not submit a proposal under this CSP, their contract will continue.

Exhibit "R"

Fiscal Impact: Funds for these purchases are available from the approved FY 2016-2017 operating and repair and replacement budgets. Funds for subsequent years will be included in future proposed budgets. The three-year historical annual average spend for these services is $190,000.

Request: Consideration of Approval to Authorize the Chancellor or Designee to Negotiate and Execute Master Service Contracts on Behalf of the College to Purchase General Contracting Services


That the Board of Trustees authorize the Chancellor or designee to negotiate and execute master service contracts on behalf of the College to purchase general contracting services for individual projects that cost less than $100,000. The scope of the award is for an estimated $1,500,000 per year, with a total sum not exceeding $7,500,000 over a maximum period of five years. See attached listing for recommended and existing vendors.

The term of this award is for an initial two years with the option to renew for three additional one-year periods. The College reserves the right to cancel any agreement upon 30 days’ written notice without cause. Hourly rates will remain fixed for the first year. Rate adjustments may be considered for subsequent years upon receipt of written justification supported by an increase in trade rates, inflation, or other measure as approved by the College. Quotes will be requested from all awarded vendors.

Rationale: These services are required to expedite the turn-around time for minor projects, maintenance, and repairs for the college facilities, and ensure a safe, clean, and operable environment for students, faculty, and staff.

In compliance with Government Code 2269, Subchapter I, Sec. 2269.401, Job Order Contracts Method, a Competitive Sealed Proposal (CSP #479) was publicly advertised and nine proposals were received.

The evaluations were based on price; qualifications; quality of services; safety program; the extent to which certified HUB, minority, veteran and/or women-owned businesses are utilized; proposed personnel; past performance; and enhanced services and completeness as well as thoroughness of proposal.

At the June 5, 2014 meeting, the Board of Trustees approved a list of eight contractors to provide general contracting services for an amount not exceeding $10,000,000 for a term not exceeding five years. More than 50% of the contractors have become non-responsive to the quote process, are no longer in business, or failed to provide the level of required services. Accordingly, it is necessary to replenish the pool of available vendors to perform these services. To the extent an existing vendor did not submit a proposal under this CSP, their contract will continue.
