To:            Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners
From:          Planning & Economic Development
RE:            Contract for Mowing Services


SUMMARY OF REQUEST:

To approve a two-year contract with the Sheldon Park Neighborhood Improvement Association for
the maintenance of two City owned lots in the Sheldon Park neighborhood.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

None

BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED:

None

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Authorize execution of the contract. The responsibility for cleaning and mowing these lots would
belong to the Association rather than the City and would extend through 2013. The City's estimated
cost of $1000.00 to maintain the lots over this period would then be donated to the Association. The
neighborhood has maintained the lots for several years under similar agreements and has done a great
job.




                                                                                                  1
                         CITY OF MUSKEGON
            NEIGHBORHOOD CITY LOT MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT


        THIS AGREEMENT effective July 1, 2012 is made between the CITY OF
MUSKEGON, 933 Terrace Street, Muskegon, Michigan (“City”) and the SHELDON
PARK NEIGHBORHOOD IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION, of 1128 Roberts Street,
Muskegon, Michigan (“Sheldon Park”), because Sheldon Park wishes to accomplish and
perpetuate the maintenance of the City owned lots on the attached Exhibit A (“the lots”)
for the betterment and beautification of their neighborhood, and because the City wishes
to encourage neighborhood associations such as Sheldon Park in this way and in general
involvement in the neighborhoods of the City.

       THEREFORE THE PARTIES AGREE:

       1.      Maintenance of the City Lots. Sheldon Park shall maintain the lots, by
mowing or by any other action required, and use its best efforts to ensure that the
properties are maintained in accordance with applicable City codes and ordinances.

        2.      Compensation. In return for Sheldon Park’s services and its interest in the
neighborhood, the City agrees to pay the sum of $1000.00 to Sheldon Park, for its general

for the general purposes of Sheldon Park in its work as a neighborhood improvement
association.

       3.      Special Conditions.

               3.1 Sheldon Park agrees that it will not employ persons to accomplish the
                  maintenance of the lots, but that members of Sheldon Park will do the
                  work. The persons actually accomplishing the services or services
                  related to the work on the lots shall not be compensated, except to
                  reimburse any personal out-of-pocket expenditure in connection with
                  the work.

               3.2 Sheldon Park agrees that it has inspected the lots, and further has
                  determined that there are no hazards or dangerous conditions on the lots
                  that may be expected to cause injury. In the event that Sheldon Park or
                  any of its volunteers becomes aware of any such condition, Sheldon
                  Park agrees to notify the City immediately.

               3.3 Sheldon Park agrees to obtain a waiver on the form attached as Exhibit
                  B from each person performing the work as a volunteer and deliver the
                  same to the City before said volunteer’s work begins.


                                             1

                  provides immunity from tort liability for an injury to a person or
                  damage to property caused by a volunteer while acting on behalf of a
                  governmental agency.

              3.5 Sheldon Park shall maintain records of all volunteers who work on the
                  lots, including the amount of time spent, the date completed and the
                  type of work performed. Said records shall be made available to the
                  City upon request.

        4.     Term of the Agreement. This agreement shall have a term of July 1, 2012
through December 31, 2013. Payments for work completed shall be made at reasonable
intervals during the term of this agreement. Continuing payment shall be contingent upon
satisfactory completion of all necessary work. Either party may terminate this agreement
with 30 days advance notice.

                IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties execute this agreement effective on
the date set forth above.

RE: MUFD Equipment Request (Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus)


SUMMARY OF REQUEST:

         The Director of Public Safety requests that the Commission authorize the amount of
$143,454.16; for (30) ISI (Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus SCBA/accessories). This
purchase request is to replace the aging/non-serviceable fire equipment (SCBA) that are now
in-service at MUFD.      Our current packs (ISI- SCBA) have been in use for approximately
fifteen (15) years, upgraded once back in 2004.

       This purchase is part of a county-wide purchase that will allow MUFD to acquire the
new packets at $4,482.00 each; other vendors offering comparable equipment quoted;

       (1) Douglas Safety systems (ISI air pack) =           $ 4,482.00
       (2) International Safety Instrument (ISI) =           $ 5,289.00
       (3) Safety Source One (ISI) =                         $ 5,065.00

  The newly acquired air packs meet/exceed the NFPA standard; this action will save the city
several thousand dollars in the expected future by replacing the needed equipment at a
reduced/regional cost at or near the end of life expectancy for the current equipment. SCBA
air packs (comparables) such as “Scott Air Packs” cost as much as $ 5,800.00 a unit, plus
accessories. The above equipment purchase is desired by MUFD.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

N/A – Budgeted

BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED:

Equipment was budgeted in the 2013/13 budget cycle to support the equipment replacement
(404 – Public Improvement Fund - $ 155,000.00).

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends approval of this purchase request.
