According to the Department, the competitive component of the services was for the handling fees associated with the distribution of the medication as well as in-service training for YDC staff.

NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE 37243-0057 615-741-2564 Sen. Bill Ketron, Chairman Senators Douglas Henry Reginald Tate Brian Kelsey Ken Yager Eric Stewart Randy McNally, ex officio Lt. Governor Ron Ramsey, ex officio Rep. Curtis Johnson, Vice-Chairman Representatives Tommie Brown David Shepard Jim Coley Tony Shipley Charles Curtiss Curry Todd Johnny Shaw Mark White Charles Sargent, ex officio Speaker Beth Harwell, ex officio
MEMORANDUM
TO: FROM: DATE: RE: Members of the Fiscal Review Committee Senator Bill Ketron, Chairman Representative Curtis Johnson, Vice-Chairman October 1, 2012 Extension of the Department of General Services (DGS) contract with Murray Guard, Inc. for security services in the Knoxville area
The Department has contacted Committee Staff regarding the extension of the above referenced contract for the provision of security services in the Knoxville area. It is our understanding that the Department issued an RFP on June 20, 2012, for these services. Walden Security, a vendor that bid on the RFP, filed a timely protest of the award to another vendor. The current contract expires September 30, 2012. This contract meets the criteria for review and comment by Fiscal Review Committee (FRC). DGS submitted a Rule Exception Request to the Central Procurement Office for a contract term over five years and a Non-Competitive Amendment Request to extend the existing contract an additional two months, through November 30, 2012, in order to have time to resolve the RFP protest. The Rule Exception Request and the Non-Competitive Amendment Request were signed by the Commissioner on September 6, 2012. On September 26, 2012, the Department received a denial from the Comptrollers Office because the extension request was not approved by this Committee. The Department contacted FRC staff on September 26, 2012. The Committee does not meet again until October 15, 2012. However, we understand that, absent such an extension to provide security services, the safety of state
employees is at risk. The Committee is greatly concerned for the safety of all state employees. But as you are aware, we are also concerned about recent actions by departments seeking Committee approval less than 60 days prior to the effective date of the contract or an amendment. In light of the Chief Procurement Offices role in procurement reform, the Committee looks to General Services to set the example of interdepartmental cooperation, transparency and open communication for other departments. Given the current circumstances, we are agreeable to a contract extension until November 30, 2012, with the stipulation that the Department presents the resolution of this matter to the full Committee in November. Please let us know if you have any questions or need additional information on these issues. cc: Steven Cates, Commissioner, Department of General Services Justin Wilson, Comptroller Jessica Robertson, Chief Procurement Officer

CONTRACT 8 Department: Tennessee Board of Regents (TBR) Division: Information Technology Vendor: Ellucian Company, L.P., formerly SunGard Higher Education BACKGROUND INFORMATION: BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The original master agreement and addendum one was for the provision of an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system for all TBR institutions with a term beginning on December 16, 2004, and ending on December 31, 2009, with a budgetary estimate for services of $62,690,788. The vendor is responsible for the maintenance, updates, service, and training for the ERP system. Addendum 2: extended the contract an additional four years through December 31, 2013; increased the budgetary estimate by $40,374,886 for a total of $103,065,674; reduced the maintenance fees for the remainder of the current contract (through December 2009) and for the extension years; and provided the pricing structure for the Satellite Maintenance Organization (SMO) Services through the extension term as well as the hourly information services price. Addendum 3: included the Prohibition of Illegal Immigrants, the Voluntary Buyout Program, and the Federal Economic Stimulus Funding language. Addendum 4: extended the contract two additional years through December 31, 2015; reduced the maintenance fees for the remainder of the current contract (through December 2013) and for the extension years for the second time; for the remaining years of the contract, the budgetary estimate was reduced by $8,723,779 with an addition of $13,510,343 in fees in the extension years for a net increase to the budgetary estimate of $4,786,564, for a total of $107,852,239. Addendum 5: added Course Signals software to the contract (student early alert system added as a result of a separate RFP process). Addendum 6: extended the subscription term for both the Windstar (tax reporting) and PeopleAdmin (human resources) Component Systems through December 31, 2012.
13

ADDENDUM FOR REVIEW: The proposed addendum extends the current contract an additional two years though December 31, 2017, and increases the budgetary estimate by $10,927,700 for a total of $118,779,938. COMMENTS: 1. The Boards Central Office has made total payments of $62,989,600 through September 30, 2012. These payments have been less than previous budgetary estimates totaling $107,852,238. For budgetary estimates, the Board anticipates expenditures of $10,927,700 for the next five years. 2. Due to the nature of this contract, a maximum liability provision is not included. Under this and prior addenda TBR obtains two basic services: maintenance services including regulatory updates, security patches, functional upgrades, and help desk services for its Banner ERP system (a fixed cost); and hourly consulting services to address non-maintenance Banner issues (a variable cost). In lieu of a maximum liability provision for the Master Agreement, the following controls exist on payments under the contract. Maintenance. Payments for maintenance are controlled against the annual maintenance amounts specified within the addendum and are a fixed cost for each year of the contract. This acts as an annual maximum liability provision for maintenance and limits the payments made for maintenance to the amount within the addendum. The annual maintenance amount is paid by the TBR Central Office. This cost is budgeted at the institutional level based on the annual contract amount as applied to a distribution formula that takes into account factors such as institutional enrollment and budget size. Consulting. Rates for hourly consulting services are fixed within the addendum; however, the amount expended varies based on the need for these services. Any institution within the system (including the Central Office) can request consulting services by originating an Order Form with Ellucian. Among other things, the order form includes a statement of work, hours required to accomplish the task, references the standard terms and conditions of the Master Agreement, and a maximum payment liability for that Order Form. Payments by the institution requesting services are budgeted, funded and accounted for by the requesting institution, with the total liability for payments controlled by the individual Order Form maximum. This 14

process is similar to the purchase order process used to obtain goods or services through a statewide contract. 3. The contract contains the Prohibition of Illegal Immigrants, the Voluntary Buyout Program, and the Federal Economic Stimulus Funding language. QUESTION: 1. Does the Board plan to issue an RFP for these services in the future?
