Policy Report and Consideration No. 1 (FIRST READING) Board Meeting 10-4-18

Request: Consideration and Review of the Recommended Revision of the Lone Star College (the “College”) System Board Policy Manual Section III.D.1.3. Purchases Requiring Board Approval (FIRST READING)

Chancellor’s Recommendation:

That the Board of Trustees consider and review the proposed revision to the College’s Board Policy Manual Section III.D.1.3. The revision clarifies which contracts and leases require Board approval.

Rationale: The proposed revision clarifies that Board approval is required for contracts and leases where the College’s total expenditures under the contract or lease exceed $100,000. College expenditures under a contract or lease trigger required Board approval rather than College revenues. The Section title Transactions Requiring Board Approval replaces Purchases Requiring Board Approval. This more accurately describes the Section’s content.

Fiscal Impact: None.

Request: Consideration and Review of the Recommended Revision of the Lone Star College (the “College”) System Board Policy Manual Sections V.A.6. Dual Credit and V.C.2. Prior Learning Assessment (“PLA”) Credit (FIRST READING)


That the Board of Trustees consider and review revisions to the College’s Board Policy Manual Sections V.A.6. and V.C.2. to comply with current Texas laws regarding dual credit programs and granting prior learning assessment credit.

V.A.6. Dual CreditThe College offers students in high schools within its service area the opportunity to take dualcredit courses. Dual credit courses are courses for which students receive college credit andhigh school credit while still enrolled in high school or homeschooling. Except for coursesthat are part of an approved early college education program established under the TexasEducation Code or any other early college program that assists a student in earning a certificateor an associate degree while in high school, the College only offers dual credit for courses inits core curriculum, for career and technical education courses, and for foreign languagecourses. The curriculum content and rigor of dual credit courses are equivalent to the collegecourse standards and requirements. The faculty must meet the same SACSCOC qualificationsas non-dual credit courses and programs. See the College’s annual course catalog for currenttuition and fee information. Students and parents should also consider that although thesecourses are taught to high school students, the College will treat these dual-credit students ascollege students when enrolled in college courses—regardless of the individual student’s age.

Any agreement entered into or renewed on or after September 1, 2018 between the College and a school district to provide a dual credit program shall adhere to the requirements of Texas Education Code § 28.009 or its successor statute and any state regulations adopted thereunder. All such agreements will be posted on the College’s website.

The College employs a risk management philosophy that ensures all Information is identified, valued, assessed for risk, and protected, consistent with the College’s needs. Improper Information disclosure, modification, or destruction may harm the College’s mission-supporting operations. The College therefore engages a hierarchical set of industry best practices and frameworks that help users and administrators define and mitigate risks, maintaining a trade-off between information value and the cost of risk mitigation.

Users are responsible for acceptable use. All users must abide by the College’s Information policies, procedures, and standards, as an access condition. Failure to do so may result in immediate and unconditional complete or partial access termination, without prior notice. The user may be subject to disciplinary actions and or criminal prosecution, where applicable. Section VIII controls as regards Information security, confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

All staff must be made aware of the Business Continuity Plan and their own respective roles. Each college and administrative unit is responsible for their respective Business Continuity Plans. (b) Incident Response. Incident Response is a predefined response process that establishes Information security requirements if an unplanned computer system event occurs, including network intrusions, denial of service, computer virus outbreaks, and other outages that negatively impact the availability of College systems, applications, and or information assets. Information security incident response procedures must include, but are not limited to, the following: (1) specific roles and responsibilities; (2) key contact information; and (3) high-level guidelines for investigating, documenting, and reporting security incidents.

Request: Consideration and Approval of the Recommended Revision of the Lone Star College (the “College”) Board Policy Manual Section IV.D.3. Retirement Plans


That the Board of Trustees consider and approve revisions to the College’s Board Policy Manual Section IV.D.3. Retirement Plans, which describes employee retirement plan eligibility.

IV.D.3. Retirement Plans

IV.D.3.1. Policy The College offers comprehensive retirement plans and optional income tax deferrals to eligible employees. As a Texas institution of higher education, the College’s retirement plans are governed by the State of Texas. Indeed, the State of Texas is the final authority on plan eligibility, contribution levels, and other plan-related details. Every College employee eligible for TRS participates in TRS or in ORP, if eligible for ORP and if a timely ORP election is made. Employees not eligible for TRS must enroll in TIAA if they are eligible for TIAA, except that active Social Security retirees may choose not to participate in TIAA.

(a) Teacher Retirement System of Texas (TRS) TRS is a defined benefit plan controlled and governed by the State of Texas. TRS contributions are housed in a State-controlled trust fund and managed by investment professionals. TRS is available to all benefits-eligible employees.

(b) Optional Retirement Program (ORP) ORP is a defined contribution plan that allows certain eligible participants to select a College-approved financial institution for retirement fund investment. Benefits-eligible employees must enroll in either TRS or ORP within 90 calendar days of employment. This is an irrevocable decision. If a benefits-eligible employee fails to make such a decision, the benefits-eligible employee will be automatically enrolled in TRS.

(c) TIAA TIAA is a defined contribution plan. College employees not eligible for TRS must participate in TIAA if eligible, except that active Social Security retirees may choose not to participate in TIAA. For TRS-ineligible, TIAA-eligible employees not participating in TIAA, the College will withhold from these employees’ paychecks the employee portion of Social Security payroll taxes and remit these amounts with the employer portion of Social Security payroll taxes as required by federal law.

(d) Tax Deferred Annuity (TDA) TDA allows employees to set aside tax-deferred income. TDA is optional and available to all College employees. Contribution levels are subject to current federal income tax laws.

(e) Deferred Compensation Plans Deferred compensation plans allow employees to defer certain compensation, taxable at distribution. The College’s deferred compensation plans are optional and available to certain College employees.

Financial Report and Consideration No. 1 (ACTION ITEM 5) Board Meeting 10-4-18 Request: Consideration of Approval of Resolution and Ordinance Levying the

Interest and Sinking (“I&S”) Component of the Ad Valorem Tax Rate for Tax Year 2018


That the Board of Trustees adopt a resolution and ordinance levying the I&S component of the ad valorem tax rate for tax year 2018 at $.0278 per $100 assessed valuation.

Rationale: The I&S tax rate of $.0278 per $100 of assessed valuation is based on the

debt service requirements for general obligation bonds in FY 2019 of $59.1 million, net of the amount ($10.8 million) that is anticipated to be funded from other sources. As required by law, the College published all of the appropriate rates, statements, and schedules.

Fiscal Impact: The recommended rate is estimated to generate tax revenues sufficient to

pay the bonded debt obligation for FY 2019, net of the amount anticipated to be funded from other sources.

That the Board of Trustees adopt a resolution and ordinance levying the M&O component of the ad valorem tax rate for tax year 2018 at $.0800 per $100 assessed valuation.

Rationale: The M&O tax rate of $.0800 per $100 of assessed valuation generates revenue to support the College’s general fund expenditures for FY 2019. This rate remains the same as the FY 2018 M&O tax rate, but it will contribute additional revenue compared to last year due to the increase in the property values.

As required by law, the College published all of the appropriate rates, statements, and schedules.

Fiscal Impact: The recommended rate is estimated to generate tax revenues sufficient to support the operations of the College for FY 2019.

Rationale: The Public Funds Investment Act (“PFIA”), Texas Government Code § 2256, requires that the Board approve firms to transact investment business with the College each year.

At the October 3, 2016 meeting, the Board of Trustees approved the attached list of recommended firms through a Request for Qualifications (“RFQ”) #448 process in compliance with Texas Government Code § 2254.

The six highest-ranking firms were recommended as the College’s investment broker/dealers in FY 2017 for a three-year period, to be evaluated annually and submitted for approval again prior to the second and third years. Coastal Securities is no longer in business and has been removed from the list. The performance of the remaining five firms has been evaluated by the Finance and Operations staff and is now being presented to the Board for its third year of approval.

In compliance with the College’s policy and Texas State law, each firm received a copy of the College’s investment policy. The College will complete the certification process for each of the recommended broker/dealers for the coming fiscal year. The certification process documents their understanding of the PFIA and the suitability of investments in compliance with the College’s investment policy.

the College. The selection of certified value added consultants and service providers enables the College to minimize the amount of time and effort to implement solutions to system issues, determine feasibility of fixes, maximize applications and ensure efficient ongoing maintenance and operations required to sustain the College’s investment in Oracle PeopleSoft as well as all other enterprise applications.

In compliance with the provisions of Texas Education Code §44.031 (a), a Request for Proposal (“RFP”) #586 was publicly advertised and twenty-one responses were received. Upon review and evaluation of the proposals, the decision was made to award eleven firms master consulting agreements because of the firms’ varied skills, expertise and cost structure. The firms understand that the services under these master consulting agreements are on a non-exclusive basis and the College provides no guarantee that the firm will be awarded services under a scope of work agreement. This approach will add value to the College by containing costs and increasing the efficiency of the Office of Technology Services in meeting the College’s needs. As required consulting services are identified by the College, a request for quote will be made from two or more firms for the specific services. Should the firm’s quote be selected for the project, the parties will enter into a fully executed scope of work agreement before the work commences. Consulting services with an estimated cost of $50,000 up to $500,000 will require quotes from three vendors based on the skill sets required. Purchases with an estimated cost below $50,000 will require quotes from two vendors based on the skill sets required. Services over $500,000 will be presented individually to the Board for Approval.

Fiscal Impact: Funds for these purchases are included in the approved FY 2019 budget.

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

Request: Consideration of Approval to Authorize the Chancellor or Designee to Negotiate and Execute a Contract on Behalf of Lone Star College (“the College”) for Commercial Leasing and Real Estate Property Management Services for Lone Star College-University Park (“LSC-University Park”)


That the Board of Trustees authorize the Chancellor or designee to negotiate and execute a contract on behalf of the College with the top ranked firm, Caldwell Watson Real Estate Group, Inc. d/b/a Caldwell Companies, 7904 N. Sam Houston Pkwy. W., 4th Floor, Houston, Texas 77064 for Commercial Leasing and Real Estate Management Services. The Chancellor recommends that the firm with the highest evaluation score be awarded the contract if the firm and the College can agree on the requisite contract terms. If negotiations cease for any reason with Caldwell Companies, 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. That the Board of Trustees also waive Board Policy section III.D.2.9 Contract Term Limits and Non-Availability of Funds Provision toallow the contract to extend beyond five years. The term of the contract willbe for a period not to exceed 15 years.

Rationale: A Master Agreement with a Master Tenant providing Leasing Services is necessary for LSC-University Park, Buildings 9 and 10 for the existing tenants and for leasing the vacant spaces that will increase the overall occupancy, net operating income, and overall net profit while effectively managing capital costs and operating expense for the College.

In compliance with the Texas Government Code §2254 (a) Request for Proposal (“RFP”) #583 was publically advertised and issued and two responses were received. The evaluation of qualifications was conducted based on the firm’s pricing, qualifications, experience, reputation, quality of services/services needs met (master leasing plan, proposed personnel, value and services approach), past performance, total long term cost, additional services and no-cost value added services, completeness and thoroughness of response and the extent to which certified historically underutilized businesses (“HUB”), minority and/or veteran or women-owned businesses are utilized.

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 Financial Aid Review and Verification Services with ProEducation Solutions, LLC (“ProEducation”)


That the Board of Trustees authorize the Chancellor or designee to negotiate and execute a contract on behalf of the College to purchase financial aid review and verification services with ProEducation Solutions, LLC, 491 Partridge Ridge Circle, Sarasota, FL 34236 in a sum not exceeding $1,900,000 over a five-year period. The term of this award authorization is for an initial three years with the option to renew for two additional one-year periods.

Rationale: The financial aid eligibility verification program is a U.S. Department of Education mandated requirement. The College’s financial aid program has grown and currently supports 38,000 students who receive a variety of financial aid awards, including PELL grants, state and local grants, scholarships, and federally sponsored low interest loans. The significant increase in financial aid awards has stretched campus resources to capacity. Collection of student documents and subsequent verification of those documents occur primarily during peak enrollment periods and require-s an extensive knowledge of financial aid regulations. Consequently, hiring additional qualified staff for those peak periods is problematic.

In compliance with Texas Education Code §44.031 (a), a Request for Proposals (“RFP”) #569 was publicly advertised and five responses were received. The evaluation 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. Onsite presentations were made by all bidders.

Fiscal Impact: Funds for this purchase are included in the approved FY 2019 operating budget. Funds for subsequent years will be included in future proposed budgets.

Rationale: The initial Lease Agreement between the College and Spring ISD was dated March 1, 2015, for the purpose of providing space for the Continuing Education Transportation Institute. The Lease Agreement has been amended four times to extend the term and will currently expire on February 28, 2019. The new Lone Star College-Corporate College Transportation Institute Facility is scheduled for completion in Fall 2019. The extension of the Lease Agreement until November 30, 2019 will allow the program to continue at the Spring ISD location until the new facility is completed.

Fiscal Impact: The rental expense is $5,000 per month. The nine-month extension will be $45,000 and will bring the cumulative sum of the expense to $285,000 for the Spring ISD rental. Funds for this purchase are included in the FY 2019 operating budget.

Request: Consideration of Approval to Authorize the Chancellor or Designee to Purchase Computers, Printers, and Accessories on Behalf of Lone Star College (the “College”) for Lone Star College-Kingwood (“LSC-Kingwood”)


That the Board of Trustees authorize the Chancellor or designee to execute one or more contracts to purchase computers, printers, and accessories on behalf of the College from Netsync, 2500 West Loop South, Suite 410, Houston, Texas, 77027 for a total sum not exceeding $1,121,389.

Rationale: Computer equipment and supplies are needed to replace items damaged by Hurricane Harvey in five buildings at LSC-Kingwood: Classroom Building A, Classroom Building B, Fitness Center, Health Science Building, and Performing Arts Center.

In compliance with Texas Education Code § 44.031(a), a Request for Proposals (“RFP”) #592 was publicly advertised and one response was received. The proposal was evaluated based on price, qualifications, experience, and service needs met; references; quality of the goods and 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 value added services, completeness, and thoroughness of response.

Fiscal Impact: Funds for these purchases are available from Fund 35. Subsequent reimbursement of Fund 35 will occur from insurance proceeds, FEMA Public Assistance proceeds, bond funds as deemed appropriate, and operation fund cash reserves, in this order.

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 Audio Visual Equipment for Lone Star College-Kingwood (“LSC-Kingwood”) Including Express Delegation of Authority or Express Adoption of an Exception for this Contract


That the Board of Trustees authorize the Chancellor or designee to negotiate and execute a contract on behalf of the College to purchase audio visual equipment for LSC-Kingwood to replace equipment damaged by Hurricane Harvey in six buildings. A bid process is currently being conducted in which the firm with the highest evaluation score will be selected. If negotiations cease for any reason with that firm, the College may proceed to negotiate with next firm in order of selection ranking with a score of not less than 70 until a contract is executed.

The College estimates that this purchase will exceed $1,000,000; therefore, the Chancellor recommends that the Board of Trustees expressly delegate authority to the Chancellor or designee to exceed $1,000,000 for this contract or expressly adopt an exception to the general statutory requirement that the Board specifically approve any College contract for more than $1,000,000.

Rationale: On May 3, 2018, the Board approved the purchase of specialty equipment, lab equipment, furniture, IT equipment, and IT Infrastructure for LSC-Kingwood in a sum not exceeding $19,000,000. Nevertheless, state law prohibits the College from entering into any contract for more than $1,000,000 unless the Board (1) approves the specific contract; (2) expressly delegates authority to exceed that amount; or (3) expresslyadopts an exception for that contract.

The Chancellor requests the pre-approval of this purchase due to the time constraints of getting the equipment purchased and delivered prior to the re-opening of LSC-Kingwood’s main campus in January 2019.

Fiscal Impact: Funds for these purchases are available from Fund 35. Subsequent reimbursement of Fund 35 will occur from insurance proceeds, FEMA Public assistance proceeds, bond funds as deemed appropriate, and operating fund cash reserves, in this order.
