Consideration of Consent Agenda Board Meeting 8-6-15

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.

Rationale: Following several months of study, planning, development and evaluation, the administration, in consultation with the Board of Trustees, recommends a budget that accurately reflects the System’s educational plan for 2015-16.

The recommended budgets are as follows:

REVENUES/SOURCES:

SOURCE AMOUNT STATE ALLOCATIONS $ 74,090,000 STUDENT REVENUES 111,840,000 STUDENT REV. CONTINGENCY 910,000 LOCAL TAXES 125,260,000 MISCELLANEOUS ACTIVITIES 24,580,000 RESERVES 5,810,000 TOTAL REVENUES/SOURCES $ 342,490,000

EXPENDITURES/USES:

FUND AMOUNT OPERATING $ 289,410,000 STUDENT ACTIVITIES 2,740,000 REPAIRS AND REPLACEMENTS 5,050,000 TECHNOLOGY 12,370,000 CORPORATE COLLEGE 3,840,000 OPERATING DEBT SERVICE PMTS 10,500,000 AUXILIARY ___18,580,000 TOTAL EXPENDITURES/USES $ 342,490,000

State allocations decreased for community colleges for the state’s biennial budget, which covers LSC’s 2015-16 and 2016-17 fiscal years. However, LSC’s allocation rose slightly due to enrollment growth at a time when other Texas community colleges were experiencing enrollment declines, resulting in an increase in LSC’s proportionate share of the Texas Community College allocation.

Student revenues reflect an estimated 3.7% growth in enrollments, but no credit tuition or fee increases are recommended.

Certified property values have not been received, but the preliminary rolls provided by the appraisal districts indicate that net taxable values will increase in both Harris and Montgomery Counties by an average of 8%. The 2015-16 budgeted tax revenues are estimated using the same rate as the 2014-15 budget. Once the certified rolls have been received, a recommendation will be taken to the Board of Trustees. It is estimated that the tax rate will remain the same, or will be slightly reduced.

The 2015-16 budget contains several initiatives in support of the System’s top five strategic priorities: Academic & Workforce Program Quality, Student Success, Culture, Partnerships and Financial Responsibility & Accountability.

Compensation recommendations included in the budget are as follows: • 70 new full time faculty positions to improve current ratio of full

time faculty to part time faculty; • A 2% cost of living adjustment (minimum of $750) for all full

time employees hired prior to June 1, 2015, effective September 1, 2015;

• Increase the minimum salary from $24K to $26K; • Funding to address faculty and staff salary compression issues; • And a 7.2% increase in group health insurance premiums.

Fiscal Impact: Fund balance at the conclusion of the 2015-16 fiscal year is projected

to be 16% of annual expenditures, if the above recommended budget is adopted.

Chancellor’s Recommendation:

That the Board of Trustees approves the purchase of library materials, supplies, services and resource sharing membership fees for FY 2015-16 for the System in an amount not-to-exceed $1,365,000.

Chancellor’s Recommendation:

That the Board of Trustees authorizes the Chancellor or designee to negotiate and execute a contract to purchase online tutoring services from Brainfuse, Inc., 271 Madison Ave., New York, NY 10016, in an estimated annual amount of $110,000 and a not-to-exceed total of $550,000 over the five year contract period.

Rationale: LSC requires a hosted, web-based solution to provide online tutoring services to students. Online tutoring services enable students to have a real-time exchange of communication with tutors in a highly interactive environment.

In compliance with the provisions of Texas Education Code §44.031 (a), a Request for Proposal (RFP #387) was publicly advertised and issued to ten vendors and five responses were received.

The initial evaluation of the proposals was conducted based on cost, qualifications/experience/service needs met, references, quality of services, extent to which certified historically underutilized businesses (HUB), minority and/or veteran or women-owned businesses are utilized, past performance, long-term costs and other relevant factors. On-site presentations were made by the two firms receiving the highest proposal evaluation scores. It is recommended that the firm with the highest on-site presentation evaluation score, Brainfuse, be awarded the contract.

The recommended vendor will provide students access to a suite of writing, study and collaboration tools that have proven to boost academic performance and increase student retention. LSC will also be able to utilize its own tutors in conjunction with Brainfuse tutors at no additional cost. In addition, the System will be able to customize content to correlate with existing course learning objectives and provide administrators and instructors with comprehensive analytics. These services will initially be made available to all students taking online classes and to students taking on-site classes at LSC-University Park.

The initial term of the contract will be for three years with an option to renew for two additional one-year periods. Either party may terminate the agreement upon 30 days written notice.

Financial Report and Consideration No. 14 (Action Item 14) Board Meeting 8-6-15

Request: Consideration of Approval to Authorize the Chancellor or Designee to Negotiate and Execute a Contract to Purchase Owner Controlled Insurance Program Administrator Services

Chancellor’s Recommendation:

That the Board of Trustees authorizes the Chancellor or designee to negotiate and execute a contract to purchase owner controlled insurance program administrator services from McGriff, Seibels and Williams of Texas, Inc., 818 Town & Country Blvd., Suite 500, Houston, TX 77024, in an amount not-to-exceed $690,000 over the five-year contract period.

Rationale: LSC requires an administrator to manage an Owner Controlled Insurance Program (OCIP) for its large construction projects. An OCIP is a single insurance program, providing insurance coverage (Workers’ Compensation, General Liability, and Excess Liability) that protects LSC (owner) together with eligible and enrolled contractors and subcontractors. The OCIP administrator is the critical component of a successful OCIP implementation. With an OCIP program in place, an owner benefits from lower insurance costs, efficient project management and administration, improved oversight and claims management, and effective safety and loss control programs. Other schools that have implemented the program report cost savings of 2-3% and have not needed to increase staff in risk management and construction. Approximately $1.4 million savings is estimated for LSC over the five-year contract period.

In compliance with the provisions of Texas Education Code §44.031 (a), a Request for Proposal (RFP #391) was publicly advertised and issued to five vendors and one response was received. The proposal was evaluated based on cost, qualifications/experience/service needs met, references, quality of services, extent to which certified historically underutilized businesses (HUB), minority and/or veteran or women-owned businesses are utilized, past performance, long-term costs and other relevant factors. It is recommended to award these services to McGriff, Seibels and Williams of Texas, the sole respondent.

The initial term of the contract will be for three years with an option to renew for two additional one-year periods. Either party may terminate the agreement upon 30 days written notice.

Fiscal Impact: Funds for this purchase are available from the General Obligation Bonds, Series 2015.

Financial Report and Consideration No. 15 (Action Item 15) Board Meeting 8-6-15

Request: Consideration of Approval to Purchase a Nuclear Magnetic Spectrometer for the Chemistry Program at LSC-University Park

Chancellor’s Recommendation:

That the Board of Trustees approves the purchase of a nuclear magnetic spectrometer for the Chemistry program at LSC-University Park from Anasazi Instruments, 4101 Cashard Ave., Suite 103, Indianapolis, IN 46203, in the amount of $102,400.

Rationale: The purchase of this specialized equipment is required to adhere to the American Chemical Society’s requirement that students graduating from certified undergraduate programs have hands-on experience with this type of instrumentation. The Anazasi Fourier Transform was developed specifically for undergraduate teaching and is the only equipment available with the technology to address the sensitivity required for detailed structure determination in elemental analysis.

This purchase is in compliance with Texas Education Code Section 44.031 (j), where a sole source purchase is justified when competition is precluded because of the existence of a patent, copyright, secret process or monopoly. This advanced technology is currently only available in the equipment developed by Anasazi Instruments.

Fiscal Impact: Funds for this purchase are available from the approved FY 2014-15 budget.
