Where violations appear to have occurred, the offending employee, officer or agent shall be subject to disciplinary action, including but not limited to dismissal or transfer; where violations or infractions appear to be substantial in nature, the matter may be referred to the appropriate officials for criminal investigation and possible prosecution.

PROCUREMENT PROCEDURES

The director or supervisor of each department or agency of the Rapides Parish Police Jury responsible for procurement of services, supplies, equipment, or construction obtained with LCDBG funds shall review all proposed procurement actions to avoid the purchase of unnecessary or duplicative items. Such reviews shall consider consolidation or breaking out to obtain a more economical purchase. When determined appropriate by the Director or Supervisor, an analysis to determine which approach would be the most economical shall be undertaken.

The Rapides Parish Police Jury shall take affirmative steps to assure that small and minority firms and women’s business enterprises, and labor surplus firms are solicited whenever they are potential qualified sources. The Police Jury shall also consider the feasibility of dividing total requirements into smaller tasks or quantities so as to permit maximum participation by small and minority firms and women's business enterprises, and labor surplus firms. Where permitted by regulations, delivery schedules will be developed which will include participation by such businesses.

The Rapides Parish Police Jury shall assist the prime contractor whenever possible by providing copies of lists which identify qualified small and minority firms, women's business enterprises, and labor surplus area firms.

Procurement procedures will not restrict or eliminate competition. The Police Jury shall not place unreasonable requirements on firms in order for them to qualify to do business. Nor will the Police Jury encourage or participate in noncompetitive practices among firms. The Police Jury is alert to organizational conflicts which would jeopardize the negotiation process and limit competition. The Police Jury will not require unnecessary experience or bonding requirements.

Pursuant to State law, all solicitations of offers shall incorporate a clear accurate description of the technical requirements for the material, service, or product to be procured. In competitive procurements, these descriptions shall not contain features which unduly limit competition. The description may include a statement REGULAR JURY MEETING APRIL 13, 2015

of the qualitative nature of the material, product, or service and the minimum essential characteristics and standards to which it must conform if it is to satisfy its intended use. Detailed product specifications shall be avoided whenever possible. A "brand name or equal" description may be used to define the performance or other salient requirements of procurement. The specific features of the named brand which must be met by offerers shall be clearly stated.

All solicitations of offers shall clearly set forth all requirements which offerers must fulfill and all other factors to be used in evaluating bids, proposals, or statements of qualifications.

Contracts shall be awarded only to responsible contractors/firms that possess the potential ability to perform successfully under the terms and conditions of the proposed procurement.

Consideration shall be given to such factors as the contractor's/firm's capacity, integrity, compliance with public policy, record of past performance, and financial and technical resources.

METHODS OF PROCUREMENT

Direct procurement by the Rapides Parish Police Jury shall be made by using one of the following methods depending on the type of service to be procured.

Small Purchase Procedures. Relatively simple, informal procurement procedures will be used where the purchase of materials, supplies, equipment, and/or other property will not cost in the aggregate less $30,000, and for construction with a cost of less than $100,000, except where further limited by state law or LCDBG policy. The small purchase procedure can also be utilized to procure administrative consulting and other professional services costing not more than $100,000. The only exception to professional services is for architectural/engineering services which must be procured through competitive negotiation. The procurement officer must obtain a minimum of three oral or written price or rate quotations from qualified sources. Documentation on all quotations received (whether oral or written) shall be made a part of the file.

Competitive Sealed Bids/Formal Advertising. Under this procedure bids are publicly advertised in accordance with the state's Public Bid Law. A firm fixed price contract (either lump sum or unit price) shall be awarded to the responsible bidder whose bid is lowest in price and which conforms to all the material terms and conditions of the advertisement for bids.

Competitive sealed bids can be used ONLY when the following criteria are met:

• (1) there are complete, adequate, and realistic specifications or purchase descriptions; (2) there are two or more responsible bidders who are willing and able to compete effectively; (3) the procurement can be made on a firm fixed-price contract and selection of the successful bidder can appropriately be made principally on the basis of price.

When formal advertising is used the following conditions shall be met.

REGULAR JURY MEETING

APRIL 13, 2015

• i. The advertisement for bids shall be publicly advertised in accord with State law.

ii. The advertisement for bids, including the specifications and pertinent attachments, shall clearly define the items or services needed in order for the bidders to properly respond to the advertisement.

iii. All bids shall be opened publicly at the time and place specified in the advertisement for bids.

iv. A firm fixed-price contract award shall be made by written notice to the lowest responsible bidder whose bid conforms to the advertisement for bids. Where specified in the bid documents, factors such as discounts, transportation costs, and life cycle costs shall be considered in determining which bid is lowest. Payment discounts shall only be used to determine low bid when prior experience indicates that such discounts are generally taken.

• v. Not withstanding the above, any or all bids may be rejected when there are sound documented business reasons in the best interest of the LCDBG Program.

Competitive Negotiation: Requests for Proposals/Qualification Statements. This method may be used when formal advertising is not appropriate. Architectural and engineering services must be procured via requests for qualification statements; administrative consulting services must be procured via requests for proposals. Other professional services may also be procured by requests for proposals. The following procedures will be used for competitive negotiation:

• i. Requests for proposals or qualification statements must be advertised in a newspaper in the nearest metropolitan area in accordance with the rules of the State's LCDBG Program. All submittals will be honored and entered into the competition.

ii. The package for proposals or qualification statements shall identify all significant evaluation factors or selection criteria, including the corresponding point system which will be used to rate the proposals/qualification statements.

iii. The selecting official (or committee, if one is designated) shall review all proposals and statements received and make a technical evaluation of each. This shall also include a written statement that identifies the basis upon which the selection was made.

iv. Contract award will be made to the responsible offerer whose submission is deemed most appropriate to the Rapides Parish Police Jury with consideration for price, qualifications, and other factors set by the local governing body. Unsuccessful offerers shall be notified in writing within ten working days of contract award. Documentation of notification shall be maintained in the contract selection file for the individual project.

• v. Following the review of the qualification statements received, the most qualified competitor will be selected to enter into contract negotiation. This shall always include negotiation of price to insure cost reasonableness. At the REGULAR JURY MEETING APRIL 13, 2015

conclusion of successful negotiation, the competitor shall be invited to enter into a contract.

Noncompetitive Negotiation/Sole Source. Noncompetitive negotiation shall be used when small purchase, formal advertising, or competitive negotiation procedures are not feasible. Noncompetitive negotiation will involve solicitations of a proposal from only one source. This can also occur if solicitations under the competitive negotiation procedures result in only one proposal or qualification statement. Noncompetitive negotiation shall only be used when written authorization has been obtained from the State's Office of Community Development, with the one exception noted. In order to qualify for this type of procurement, one of the following circumstances must apply:

• i. The item or service is available only from a single source;

ii. It is determined that a public urgency or emergency exists and the urgency will not permit the delay beyond the time needed to employ one of the other three methods of procurement.

iii. After solicitation of a number of sources, competition is determined to be inadequate.

CONTRACT PRICING

Cost plus percentage of cost and percentage of construction cost methods of contracting MUST NOT be used. The Rapides Parish Police Jury shall perform cost or pricing analysis in connection with EVERY procurement action including contract modifications. Costs or prices based on estimated costs for LCDBG projects shall be allowed only to the extent that the costs incurred or the cost estimates included in negotiated prices are consistent with federal cost principals. Cost reimbursement, fixed price, per diem contracts, or a combination thereof may be utilized as appropriate.

A cost reimbursement type contract is most appropriate when the scope and extent of the work to be performed are not clearly defined. A cost reimbursement contract MUST clearly establish a cost ceiling which may not be exceeded without formally amending the contract, and must identify a fixed dollar profit which may not be increased unless there is a contract amendment which increases the scope of the work.

A fixed price contract is appropriate when the scope of work is very well defined and product oriented. A fixed price contract MUST establish a guaranteed price which may not increase unless there is a contract amendment that increases the scope of the work.

A per diem contract expected to exceed $10,000 will not be considered unless Rapides Parish Police Jury has determined that a cost reimbursable or fixed price contract is not appropriate. Cost and profit included in the per diem rate MUST be specifically negotiated and shown separately in the proposal. The contract must clearly establish a ceiling price which may not be exceeded without formally amending the contract.

REGULAR JURY MEETING

APRIL 13, 2015

The Rapides Parish Police Jury may use a multiplier type of compensation under either the cost reimbursement or fixed price contract. The multiplier and the portions of the multiplier applicable to overhead and profit must be specifically negotiated and separately identified in the contract.

PROCUREMENT RECORDS

The Rapides Parish Police Jury shall maintain records sufficient to detail the history of the procurement. The records shall include the following contract provisions and conditions:

• i. Contracts other than small purchase shall contain provisions which allow for administrative, contractual, or legal remedies if contractors violate or breach contract terms, and provide for sanctions and penalties as appropriate.

ii. All contracts in excess of $10,000 shall provide for termination for cause and for convenience by the Rapides Parish Police Jury including the manner in which it will be done and the basis for settlement.

iii. All construction contracts and subcontracts in excess of $10,000 shall include provisions which require compliance with Executive Order 11246, Equal Employment Opportunity, as amended by Executive Order 11375, and as supplemented in DOL regulations (41 CFR Part 60).

vii. Each contract shall include a notice of State requirements and regulations pertaining to reporting and patent rights under any contract involving respect to any discovery or invention which arises or is developed in the course of or under such contract, and of the State requirements pertaining to copyrights and rights in data.

viii. All negotiated contracts shall include a provision that makes it possible for the state, HUD, the Comptroller General of the United States, or any of their duly authorized representatives, to have access to any books, documents, papers, or records of the contractor/firm which are directly pertinent to the contract, for the purpose of making audit examination excerpts and transcriptions.

• (a) the Certificates are not being purchased by a broker, dealer or municipal securities dealer acting as an underwriter in a primary offering of municipal securities; and
• (b) the Certificates are being sold to only one financial institution (i.e., no more than thirty-five persons), which (i) has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Certificate and (ii) is not purchasing the Certificate for more than one account or with a view to distributing the Certificate.

• (i) the failure to comply with the limitation on investment of Certificate proceeds or (ii) the failure to pay any required rebate of arbitrage earnings to the United States of America or (iii) the use of the proceeds of the Certificates in a manner which would cause the Certificate to be a "private activity bond".

SECTION 24. Designation as "Qualified Tax-Exempt Obligations". The Bonds are designated as "qualified tax exempt obligations" within the meaning of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code. In making this designation, the Issuer finds and determines that:

• (a) the Bonds are not "private activity bonds" within the meaning of the Code; and
• (b) the reasonably anticipated amount of qualified tax exempt obligations which will be issued by the Issuer and all subordinate entities in calendar year 2015 does not exceed $10,000,000.

The Executive Officers are hereby empowered, authorized and directed to take any and all action and to execute and deliver any instrument, document or bond necessary to effectuate the purposes of this Section.

SECTION 25. Publication. A copy of this Resolution shall be published immediately in one (1) issue of the official journal of the Issuer.

SECTION 27. Severability; Application of Subsequently Enacted Laws. In case any one or more of the provisions of this Resolution or of the Certificates shall for any reason be held to be illegal or invalid, such illegality or invalidity shall not affect any other provisions of this Resolution or of the Certificates, but this Resolution and the Certificates shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal or invalid provisions had not been contained therein. Any constitutional or statutory provisions enacted after the date of this Resolution which validate or make legal any provision of the Resolution and/or the Certificates which would not otherwise be valid or legal, shall be deemed to apply to this Resolution and to the Certificates.

SECTION 28. Section Headings. The headings of the various sections hereof are inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of any of the provisions hereof.
