Consideration of Consent Agenda Board Meeting 9-5-19 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. The intent of the consent agenda is to support efficiency and effectiveness of the meeting.

Curriculum Report and Consideration No. 1 (ACTION ITEM 1) Board Meeting 9-5-19 Request: Consideration of Approval to Offer a New Lone Star College (the

“College”) Occupational and Life Skills Associates (“OLSA”) Degree Chancellor’s Recommendation:

That the Board of Trustees approve offering an OLSA degree starting at Lone Star College-Montgomery (“LSC-Montgomery”) and Lone Star College-Tomball (“LSC-Tomball”) beginning in Fall 2020.

Rationale: The OLSA is a four-year comprehensive post-secondary education

opportunity for students who have disabilities that affect executive functioning. Executive functioning refers to higher order cognitive skills that emerge over time (early childhood to young adulthood). Those whose diagnosis or condition impacts executive functioning abilities may face difficulties paying attention, organizing and planning, initiating tasks, keeping focus, regulating emotions, and self-monitoring. These challenges can impact performance in a typical college classroom and impede career success. The OLSA degree is designed to directly teach executive functioning strategies and social expectations to help students transition into successful careers. The curriculum for the proposed Occupational and Life Skills Associate degree is attached.

HB 3165 amended Texas Education Code Section 130.0106 to provide the governing board of Lone Star College with the ability to establish an occupational and life skills associate degree program at each college in the district. The degree program must contain: “(1) an appropriate curriculum of required courses for the degree program and (2) additional courses selected by the student in the student’s degree plan”.

Fiscal Impact: Estimated start-up expenses in a sum not exceeding $420,000 per campus,

will be included in the proposed LSC-Tomball and LSC-Montgomery FY 2021 operating budgets with a total sum not exceeding $840,000. These funds will cover costs for all salary and benefits for a Director, manager, faculty, staff, and part-time staff. The proposed start-up funds will also cover supply, travel, and other support service accounts. No additional funding is required for startup costs. Funds for subsequent years will be included in future proposed budgets and adjusted as necessary to account for salary and benefits increases and other program adjustments as needed.

Financial Report and Consideration No. 1 (ACTION ITEM 2) Board Meeting 9-5-19 Request: Consideration of Approval for Lone Star College (the “College”) to Provide

Notice of Intent to Hold Required Public Hearings and to Set the Ad Valorem Tax Rate for the Tax Year 2019 at the October Board Meeting

Chancellor’s Recommendation:

That the Board of Trustees approve for the College to provide notice of intent to hold required public hearings and to set the ad valorem tax rate for the Tax Year 2019 at the October Board Meeting.

Rationale: Legislation requires public hearings and specific language for the tax rate

motion, resolution or ordinance, newspaper publications, and website posting when the proposed tax rate exceeds the net effective tax rate. The chief tax appraisers from Harris, Montgomery, and San Jacinto counties have now submitted certified tax rolls. Staff is currently working with the tax assessor-collectors to determine the net effective, rollback, and recommended tax rates. This information will be presented to the Board of Trustees at the September regular Board meeting in preparation for the two required public hearings and adoption of the tax rate at the October Board meeting.

Fiscal Impact: The rate to be established will determine the amount of tax revenues generated

for the support of operations of the College as well as to pay bonded debt obligations for FY 2020.

Financial Report and Consideration No. 2 (ACTION ITEM 3) Board Meeting 9-5-19 Request: Consideration of Approval for the Annual Appointment of County Tax

Assessor-Collectors to Collect Property Taxes Levied on Behalf of Lone Star College (the “College”)

Chancellor’s Recommendation:

That the Board of Trustees approve the annual appointment of the county tax assessor-collectors to collect property taxes levied on behalf of the College for the Tax Year 2019 (FY 2020) as detailed below. Tax Assessor-Collector

Collecting Property Taxes Levied in

Estimated Cost of Service

Ann Harris Bennett, Harris County Harris County $1,900,000 Tammy J. McRae, Montgomery County

Montgomery County San Jacinto County* $625,000

* Montgomery County collects on behalf of San Jacinto County.

Rationale: Board Policy Section I.D.1.06 Taxing Authority requires that the College’s

ad valorem taxes be assessed and collected by County Tax Assessor-Collectors. The Texas Property Code permits the Board to appoint the individual serving as the County Tax Assessor-Collector to collect taxes for the College in that county. Both Harris and Montgomery Counties request that the Board of Trustees annually approve this appointment.

Fiscal Impact: Funds for these services are included in the approved FY 2020 operating or

debt service fund budgets as appropriate. Staff Resource: Jennifer Mott 832-813-6512

Special Report and Consideration No. 3 (ACTION ITEM 4) Board Meeting 9-5-19 Request: Consideration of Approval of the Proposed Fiscal Year 2020 Internal

Audit Plan for Lone Star College (the “College”) Chancellor’s Recommendation:

That the Board of Trustees approve the Fiscal Year 2020 Internal Audit Plan based on a risk assessment completed in August 2019.

Rationale: Auditing best practices include compliance with the Texas Internal

Auditing Act and the International Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing. The Texas Internal Auditing Act requires that the Board approve the annual audit plan prepared using risk assessment techniques. The International Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing also requires that an internal audit department establish a risk-based plan to determine the priorities of the internal audit activity. The Department of Audit and Consulting Services conducted a risk assessment to help identify and rank potential risk areas for the College. The risk assessment is the basis for the Audit and Consulting Services Department’s recommendation for proposed projects. The proposed plan considers staff levels and available labor.

Fiscal Impact: Funds are included in the proposed FY 2020 budget. Staff Resource: Mario K. Castillo 832-813-6606

Financial Report and Consideration No. 4 (ACTION ITEM 5) Board Meeting 9-5-19 Request: Consideration of Approval of Investment/Broker Dealer Services for FY

2020 Chancellor’s Recommendation:

That the Board of Trustees approve Investment/Broker Dealer Services for FY 2020. The list of proposed providers is attached.

Rationale: The Public Funds Investment Act requires that the Board approve firms

authorized to transact investment business with the College. In order to qualify and develop a list of recommended firms, a Request for Qualifications (“RFQ”) #672 was sent to 73 firms and six proposals were received. The College evaluated the firms based on experience, services offered, experience serving other public funds’ portfolios in the State of Texas, portfolio references, quality of services, past performance, the extent to which certified historically underutilized businesses (“HUB”), minority and/or veteran, or women-owned businesses are utilized, other relevant factors, and firms’ Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) Report. The evaluation committee selected the six highest ranking firms to recommend for the College’s Investment/Broker Dealer Services pool over the next three-year period. Financial Planning, Analysis, & Treasury has selected all the recommended vendors from the pool to be offered investment opportunities in FY 2020. The active pool of qualified firms will be evaluated annually for the following two years. If necessary, firms may be dropped, and a new list of Investment/Broker Dealers will be presented to the Board for approval. In compliance with College policy and state law, each firm has been provided with a copy of the College’s investment policy. The College will complete the certification process annually for each of the recommended Investment/Broker Dealers for the upcoming fiscal year, documenting their understanding of the Public Funds Investment Act, and the suitability of investments according to the College’s investment policy.

Fiscal Impact: Any fees or expenses accrued for the services are deducted from the

investment transactions. Staff Resource: Jennifer Mott 832-813-6512

Financial Report and Consideration No. 5 (ACTION ITEM 6) Board Meeting 9-5-19 Request: Consideration of Approval to Authorize the Chancellor or Designee to

Negotiate and Execute Agreements and Contracts on Behalf of Lone Star College (the “College”) for the Purchase of Electricity Services

Chancellor’s Recommendation:

That the Board of Trustees authorize the Chancellor or designee to negotiate and execute agreements and contracts on behalf of the College with a TIPS Cooperative Energy Supplier (“TIPS”), 4845 Highway 271 North, Pittsburg, TX 75686, to purchase electricity services for up to a ten-year period beginning July 2023 through June 2033. In addition, as additional facilities open after June 30, 2023, it is requested for the Chancellor or designee to negotiate and execute new agreements or amendments to existing agreements based on the most favorable terms and conditions available.

Rationale: The College’s current electricity supplier is the Texas General Land Office

(“GLO”), a Texas State agency established by the State’s Constitution. At the completion of the current agreement, the GLO will no longer be able to sell electrical power to the College due to a change in Texas law. On August 4, 2016, the Board approved the current agreement and it was executed on August 7, 2016. The current agreement for the period July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2023 provides electricity at a rate of $0.04295 per kWh. The current future market rates for electricity after June 30, 2023 vary between $0.032 and $0.036 per kWh, approximately 20% below the College’s current rate based on marketplace indicative pricing and research with energy counterparts, consultants, and suppliers. A new agreement will be for electricity services for the College at a rate to be quoted by the four suppliers awarded contracts by the TIPS Purchasing Cooperative for the ten-year period. This rate must be accepted the same day it is received in order to execute a fixed rate agreement. A minimum of a 15% reduction below the current contract price is favored prior to executing a contract. This purchase complies with Texas Education Code § 44.031, which allows a district to contract for goods and services that provide best value, and Texas Government Code, Subchapter F, § 271.101-102, which allows a local government to participate in a cooperative purchasing program with another local cooperative organization. This purchase will be conducted through TIPS Cooperative Energy Supplier – Contract # 170603. A market analysis was conducted to determine the best value.

Page 26: WORKSHOP AND REGULAR MEETING OF THE … September...IV. Closed Session The Board of Trustees, in accordance with Section 551.001, et seq. of the Texas Government Code will move into

Fiscal Impact: Electricity commodity purchases under the current electrical agreement for FY 2020-23 are projected to be approximately $3,173,000 per year. Based on the forecasted volume of electricity purchases in July 2023 and a 20% reduction in the commodity rate from the current contract, the new agreements are anticipated to save the College $635,000 per year. Funds for these purchases will be included in future proposed budgets.

Financial Report and Consideration No. 6 (ACTION ITEM 7) Board Meeting 9-5-19 Request: Consideration of Approval to Authorize the Chancellor or Designee to

Negotiate and Execute a Contract on Behalf of Lone Star College (the “College”) to Purchase a Truck Driving Simulator with Virage Simulation for the Lone Star College-Transportation & Logistics Technology Center (“LSC-Transportation & Logistics Technology Center”)

Chancellor’s Recommendation:

That the Board of Trustees authorize the Chancellor or designee to negotiate and execute a contract on behalf of the College to purchase a truck driving simulator with Virage Simulation, 85 Montpellier Blvd., Montreal, Quebec, Canada H4N 2G3, for the LSC-Transportation & Technology Center in a sum not exceeding $135,400. If negotiations cease for any reason with Virage Simulation, the College may proceed to negotiate with the next firm in the order of selection ranking with a score of not less than 70 until a contract is executed.

Rationale: The truck driving simulator will provide a comprehensive virtual driving

world that provides an environment where trainees may drive in real world simulations and also in test environments. The truck simulator will present training opportunities with respect to situational awareness, judgment and decision-making skills, vehicle maneuvering skills, and skills assessment for driver trainees in the safe operation of a truck. The truck simulator will reinforce hands-on vehicle operation by providing realistic skill training anywhere in the virtual driving world. It will complement actual driving experiences by training for proper driver reactions to potentially dangerous surfaces, weather, and traffic conditions. Operation of the simulator will be under the control of a trained instructor or operator who will interact with and/or critique the driver trainee (as appropriate) to meet the training needs. In compliance with Texas Education Code § 44.031(a), a Request for Proposals (“RFP”) #667 was publicly advertised and three responses were received. The College conducted evaluations using a two-step process. For step one, the evaluation of the proposals was conducted based on cost, qualifications, experience and service needs met; references; quality of services; the extent to which certified historically underutilized business (“HUB”), minority and/or veteran, or women-owned business are utilized; past performance; long-term cost; and enhanced services and completeness, and thoroughness of response. For step two, onsite presentations were made by all vendors that met all specifications in the RFP.

Fiscal Impact: Funds for this purchase are available from the General Obligation Bonds,

Series 2017A.

Financial Report and Consideration No. 7 (ACTION ITEM 8) Board Meeting 9-5-19 Request: Consideration of Approval to Authorize the Chancellor or Designee to

Negotiate and Execute Contracts on Behalf of Lone Star College (the “College”) for the Purchase of Roof Assessment Services

Chancellor’s Recommendation:

That the Board of Trustees authorize the Chancellor or designee to negotiate and execute contracts on behalf of the College to purchase roof assessment services with Bluefin, 2000 East Lamar Street, Suite 625, Arlington, TX 76006, for up to a two-year period beginning October 2019 through October 2021, for a sum not exceeding $400,000.

Rationale: The service would provide a system-wide documentation, project

administration, and a roof Asset Management plan. This effort would allow for the proper repair and replacement schedule of roofs. The data will serve as a tool to plan capital dollars for roofs in the correct year. This purchase complies with Texas Education Code § 44.031, which allows a district to contract for goods and services that provides best value; and Texas Government Code, Subchapter F, § 271.101-102, which allows a local government to participate in a cooperative purchasing program with another local cooperative organization. This purchase will be conducted through OMINIA Partners Cooperative – Contract # R180901. A market analysis was conducted to determine the best value.

That the Board of Trustees authorize changing the firm’s name on the June 6, 2019, Action Item 10 approved agenda item on behalf of the College for the purchase of armored car services from Dunbar Armored Incorporated to Brink’s Company, Incorporated, P.O. Box 64115, Baltimore, Maryland 21264-4115.

Rationale: On June 6, 2019, the Board authorized the Chancellor or designee to

negotiate and execute a contract for the purchase of armored car services for a sum not exceeding $205,000 over a five-year period through a formal Request for Proposal (“RFP”) process in compliance with Texas Education Code § 44.031. The awarding of this RFP includes the option to add additional campus locations to meet future armored car service needs. Brink’s Company announced in August 2018 that it had completed its acquisition of Dunbar Armored, Inc. In mid-2019, Brink’s Company completed its merger of Dunbar Armored Inc.

Fiscal Impact: Funds for this purchase are included in the approved FY 2020 budget.

Funds for subsequent years will be included in future proposed budgets. Staff Resource: Jennifer Mott 832-813-6512

Financial Report and Consideration No. 9 (ACTION ITEM 10) Board Meeting 9-5-19 Request: Consideration of Approval to Modify the Language in the Chancellor’s

Recommendation on the Previously Approved Board Agenda Item on Behalf of Lone Star College (the “College) for the Purchase of Professional Survey Services

Chancellor’s Recommendation:

That the Board of Trustees authorize the modification of the language in Chancellor’s Recommendation on the May 7, 2015, Action Item 3 approved board agenda item on behalf of the College for the purchase of professional survey services to allow the Chancellor or designee to negotiate and execute contracts for other locations not specified on the previously approved board agenda item from any of the approved firms.

Rationale: On May 7, 2015, the Board authorized the Chancellor or designee to

negotiate and execute contracts for the purchase of professional survey services over a five-year term through a formal Request for Qualifications (“RFQ”) process in compliance with Texas Government Code § 2254.004. The Chancellor’s Recommendation recommended each firm to a specific campus which restricted the use of these firms for other projects for other campus locations.

Fiscal Impact: Funds for these purchases are available from the General Obligation Bonds,

Series 2017A for a sum not exceeding $200,000. Funds are also included in the approved FY 2020 operating budgets and will be included in future proposed budgets for subsequent years for a sum not exceeding $400,000.

Financial Report and Consideration No. 10 (ACTION ITEM 11) Board Meeting 9-5-19 Request: Consideration of Approval to Modify the Language in the Chancellor’s

Recommendation on the August 1, 2019, Action Item 4 Previously Approved Board Agenda Item for the Repair and Replacement (“R&R”) Construction and Construction Related Services on Behalf of Lone Star College (the “College”)

Chancellor’s Recommendation:

That the Board of Trustees authorize the Chancellor or designee to execute individual contracts on behalf of the College in excess of $250,000, but less than $500,000, without obtaining the Board’s individual pre-approval for each individual contract. The College can utilize this in circumstances when multiple projects of similar type equipment or services can be combined into one Project for leveraging purposes as long as the combined Project doesn't exceed $500,000. The Chancellor also recommends that the Board of Trustees waive Board Policy section III.E.1.2. (f) R&R Project in these circumstances. Contract sums exceeding $250,000, which do not meet the leveraging criteria above, will be individually presented to the Board for consideration of approval. Leveraging criteria allows the College to purchase at a higher threshold to gain lower prices for higher volume.

Rationale: On August 1, 2019 the Board approved an agenda item authorizing the

Chancellor to execute individual contracts in excess of $100,000, but less than $500,000, without obtaining the Board’s individual pre-approval. This approval was not in compliance with Board Policy section III.E.1.2 (f), which defines an R&R Project as a project or piece of equipment costing between $10,000 and $250,000. The ability to combine multiple projects of similar type equipment or services and exceed the $250,000 project limit will allow the ability to aggregate volume and achieve a lower cost. This to correct the previously approved Board Agenda Item and request additional authorization.

Fiscal Impact: Funds for these purchases are included in the approved FY 2020 R&R

budget. Funds from General Obligation Bonds will not be used for any expense relying on this Board Agenda Item. Historical spend for FY 2019 is about $5,500,000.

Financial Report and Consideration No. 11 (ACTION ITEM 12) Board Meeting 9-5-19 Request: Consideration of Approval to Modify the Language in the Fiscal Impact on

the Previously Approved Board Agenda Item on Behalf of Lone Star College (the “College”) for Utilization of Commercial Real Estate Brokerage Services

Chancellor’s Recommendation:

That the Board of Trustees authorize the modification of the fiscal impact on the June 6, 2019, Action Item 12 approved board agenda item on behalf of the College for the utilization of commercial real estate brokerage services as needed for the College from the vendors listed below over a five-year period. Multiple firm awards are recommended to ensure appropriate service levels.

Company Address CBRE Group, Inc. 2800 Post Oak Boulevard, Suite 225

Houston, TX 77056 Cushman & Wakefield (Partnered with Ryland Enterprise, Inc. dba: ARVO Realty Advisors)

602 Sawyer Street, Suite 100 Houston, TX 77007

Transwestern Property Company SW GP, LLC. dba: Transwestern

1900 West Loop South, Suite 1300 Houston, TX 77027

Rationale: On June 6, 2019, the Board approved the use of Commercial Real Estate

Brokerage Services with the above referenced firms. This agenda item is being submitted to correct the anticipated Fiscal Impact which was understated in the previously approved agenda item. In order to acquire, dispose, or obtain opinions of value on real estate, the College requires the services of a real estate broker licensed to do business in the State of Texas. Approval of the recommended vendors is requested in advance to allow staff to act on opportunities in a timely fashion.

Fiscal Impact: The College, in most cases, would not incur any brokerage commission

expense on the acquisition of real property. Brokerage commission fees on disposition would, in most cases, be paid by the College as seller. Appropriate discounts will be negotiated for other brokerage services including but limited to providing appraisals, strategic consultation and research which are calculated at an hourly rate. It is estimated at a sum not exceeding $100,000 per year with a total sum not exceeding $500,000 over the five-year period. Funds for these purchases are included in the proposed

Financial Report and Consideration No. 12 (ACTION ITEM 13) Board Meeting 9-5-19 Request: Consideration of Approval to Modify the Language in the Fiscal Impact on

the Previously Approved Agenda Item on Behalf of Lone Star College (the “College”) for the Purchase of Heat, Ventilation, Air Conditioning (“HVAC”) Construction Services for Lone Star College System Office-University Park (“SO-UP”)

Chancellor’s Recommendation:

That the Board of Trustees authorize the modification of the May 2, 2019, Action Item 11 approved board agenda item on behalf of the College for HVAC construction services with Nash Industries, Inc. (“Nash”), 6610 Supply Row, Houston, Texas for SO-UP Office of Technology (“OTS”) renovation of the third floor of University Park’s Building 11 in a sum not exceeding $330,000.

Rationale: The OTS project requires renovation and interior build-out of a 25,000

square foot area that is currently occupied by College personnel. The project is for the entire floor and allows for growth within the College. On May 2, 2019, the Board approved for these purchases to be paid from the 2014 General Obligations Bonds, Series 2017A. This request is for a language modification for these purchases to be paid from the approved FY 2020 Repair and Replacement (“R&R”) Budget. This purchase complies with the Texas Education Code § 44.031(a)(4) which allows the use of cooperative contracts. The purchase from Nash Industries is being conducted through Choice Partners, contract# 16/054JN-09. A market analysis was conducted to determine best value.

Fiscal Impact: Funds for these purchases are available from the approved FY 2019 R&R

budget. Staff Resource: Jennifer Mott 832-813-6512

Financial Report and Consideration No. 13 (ACTION ITEM 14) Board Meeting 9-5-19 Request: Consideration of Approval to Authorize the Chancellor or Designee to

Negotiate and Execute a Contract on Behalf of Lone Star College (the “College”) to Purchase Curriculum and Training Services for the Next Generation Leadership Academy

Chancellor’s Recommendation:

That the Board of Trustees authorize the Chancellor or designee to negotiate and execute a contract on behalf of the College with Civitas Learning, Inc., 1145 West 5th Street, Austin, TX 78703, for the purchase of curriculum and training services for the Chancellor’s Next Generation Leadership Academy in an annual sum not exceeding $95,000 over a two-year period for a total contract sum not exceeding $190,000.

Rationale: The Chancellor purchased Civitas Learning Insights Platform and Frontline

Applications from Civitas Learning, Inc., on November 24, 2014. On August 6, 2015, the Chancellor approved amending the contract to add the Next Generation Leadership Academy. The Chief Financial Officer certifies that the Chancellor complied with Texas Education Code § 44.031(j)(1). Specifically, Texas law allows a sole source purchase for an item for which competition is precluded because of the existence of a patent, copyright, secret process, or monopoly. The Next Generation Leadership Academy is a sole source product because it is only sold and distributed by Civitas Learning, Inc.

Fiscal Impact: Funds for this purchase are included in the approved FY 2020 Academic

Support Operating Budget. Funds for subsequent fiscal years will be included in future proposed budgets.
