MEETING DATE: November 1, 2011 ITEM NUMBER:
SUBJECT: REPROGRAPHIC SERVICES REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL
DATE: OCTOBER 20, 2011
FROM: OFFICE OF THE CEO
PRESENTATION BY: THOMAS R. HATCH, CEO
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: THOMAS R. HATCH @ (714) 754-5328
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize staff to release the Request for Proposal
(RFP) for Reprographics Services (Attachment 3) based upon the analysis provided by both the
Reprographics Services Contracting Committee and CEO's Department.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
Council Policy 100-6 provides guidelines for evaluating the potential contracting of on-going City
services on a long-term or permanent basis. As set forth in the policy, a committee was formed
and comprised of three segments: Project Responsibility, Department Representative and
Employee Representative. The committee was tasked with the following:
- Hearing a presentation from department representatives and asking questions about the
specific proposal under consideration;
- Working together to outline how to evaluate a comparable City effort to provide the same
or similar service;
- Having the project facilitator draft an analysis addressing the available alternatives for
service delivery as outlined by the committee; and,
- Determining if outside comparative data would be useful.
On September 28, 2011 the Reprographics Services Contracting Committee met to discuss the
duties and responsibilities of the Reprographics Services program and determine "the available
alternatives for service delivery." After hearing a presentation by department staff and asking
questions, the Contracting Committee determined the following alternatives for the
Reprographics Services program:
1. Retain existing service level at existing cost..
2. Contract with a private provider.
3. Contract with another public entity.
On October 12, 2011 and October 17, 2011, the Contracting Committee met to discuss, clarify
and finalize the alternatives/options and the draft RFP. The following is an explanation of the
attachments.
Attachment 1, a memo from the Contracting Committee to the City CEO, Tom Hatch, provides
identification and analysis of each alternative and survey information provided by other
agencies.
Attachment 2, a memo from Interim Communications Director, Bill Lobdell, provides a written
evaluation (including pros and cons) of each option addressed by the Contracting Committee.
Attachment 3, the draft RFP for.Reprographics Services, prepared by the CEO's Department
and reviewed and finalized by the Contracting Committee.
Based on the attached information it appears that the most viable alternatives are to retain the
existing service level or contracting with either a public entity or private company for services. It
is difficult to determine which of these alternatives would provide the highest level of service at
the lowest cost without issuing an RFP so that appropriate cost analysis and comparisons in
level of service can be made.
A few items should be noted with regard to the draft RFP. While we have identified in the draft
RFP the current level of expected service, we have done so on the assumption that the Council
wishes to retain the existing level of service, whoever provides it. However, the draft also
includes a specific request to proposers to identify "innovative and/or creative approaches for
providing the service that will maximize efficient, cost-effective operations or increase
performance capabilities." This would allow the Council to evaluate either a different level of
service, method of delivery, or other alternative that could maintain or enhance service levels at
a lower overall cost. The RFP also requests proposers to offer information about hiring existing
City employees and possible acquisition of City equipment currently used to perform the
service.
Also note, that employees or groups of employees, who wish to submit a proposal in response
to the RFP, will be permitted to do so. Staff recommends that employees who wish to submit
bids or responses to RFPs as contract providers should be advised to do so in compliance with
the RFP requirements and at the same time as other bidders
As directed under Council Policy 100-6, the above is an analysis addressing the available
alternatives for service delivery as outlined by the Reprographics Services Contracting
Committee.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:
The City Council may decide not to release the RFP and direct the CEO to evaluate other
alternatives identified by the Reprographics Services Contracting Committee.
FISCAL REVIEW:
The fiscal impact for outsourcing the identified City service is unknown at this time. If the City
Council directs staff to release the RFP a complete analysis of the proposals and the costs for
each will. be provided to the City Council at that time.
CONCLUSION:
Staff recommends releasing the RFP for _Reprographics Services based upon the analysis
provided by both the Reprographics Services Contracting Committee and the CEO's
Department.

DATE: OCTOBER 17, 2011
SUBJECT: REPROGRAPHICS CONTRACTING COMMITTEE
Council Policy 100-6 provides guidelines for evaluating the potential contracting of on-going City
services on a long-term or permanent basis. As set forth in the policy, a committee should be formed
and comprised of three 'segments: Project Responsibility, Department Representative and Employee
Representative. The committee is tasked with the following:
• Hearing a presentation from department representatives and asking questions about the specific
proposal under consideration;
• Working together to outline how to evaluate a comparable City effort to provide the same or
similar service;
• Having the project facilitator draft analysis addressing the available alternatives for service
delivery as outlined by the committee; and,
• Determining if outside comparative data would be useful.
On September 28, 2011 the Reprographics Contracting Committee met to discuss the duties and
responsibilities of the reprographics program and determine "the available alternatives for service
delivery". After hearing a presentation about the draft RFP by department staff and asking questions,
the Committee determined alternatives for the reprographics program.
On October 12, 2001 the Committee met to further discuss and clarify the draft RFP and
alternatives/options. On October 17, 2011 the Committee met to further discuss and clarify the draft
RFP and alternatives/options.
The following alternatives for contracting reprographic are described below.
1. Retain existing service level at existing cost.
The City's Central Services Division is a division of the Chief Executive Officer's office.
Central Services is responsible for the print shop, photocopying, graphics and the mailroom.
Specifically, reprographics is responsible for copying, printing,. binding, collating, folding a
variety of City documents.
Attachment 1
In total there are one and a half (1.5) FTE's in the Photocopy / Print shop division of Central
Services which includes half (5) of Supervisor and one (1) Offset Press Operator. The FY 2011-
12 budget for Reprographics/ Print Shop is approximately $180,000 for these services.
2. Contract with a private provider.
The City could contract with a private provider for the same level of service as is currently
provided. The Committee believes that if this option is selected it will be important to identify
an in-house staff member for contract management. The cost to contract out this entire service
area is unknown at this time.
It is important to note several items regarding this RFP. First, this RFP does not include the mail
operations services provided by this Division. The mailroom function includes mail pickup, mail
sort, mail delivery, bulk mail delivery, department charge back, and handling courier shipments.
Since employees in graphics and reprographics also assist with the mailroom functions if either
graphic or reprographics services are contracted out it will be important to address who will be
responsible for the mailroom functions.
In addition, this RFP does not address the leased copy machines throughout the building. If the
decision is made to contract out this service the leased copy machines can be evaluated and
incorporated at a later date.
Finally, the RFP's for graphics and reprographics are currently separate RFP's to allow for
maximum flexibility. However, these RFP's could be combine into one if the Council desires.
If the decision is made to keep the RFP's separate the recommendation is that they be sent out at
the same time and bidders be allowed to bid on one RFP or both depending upon the services
they offer.
3. Contract with another public entity.
Another option is for the City to explore working with another public agency to provide
reprographic design services. However, given that this service requires the production of
documents sometimes in a short period of time the proximity of this public entity to the City of
Costa Mesa will be a critical component. The cost savings that could be achieved with this
option is unknown at this time, but the Committee believes that this is an option. that could be
explored.
As directed under Council Policy 100-6, the above is an analysis addressing the available alternatives for
service delivery as outlined by the Reprographics Contracting Committee. The Committee has also
drafted a Request for Proposal (RFP) should you desire to present this to the City Council.
The Reprographics Contract Committee is available should you have any questions or request more
information.

Attachment 2
City of Costa Mesa
Inter Office Memorandum
TO: Tom Hatch, Chief Executive Officer
FROM: Bill Lobdell, Leigh Chalkley
DATE: October 24, 2011
SUBJECT: Central Services Contracting Committee
The Central Services division has reviewed the alternatives for contracting Print
Shop and Reprographics Services as outlined in the Oct. 17, 2011 memorandum
from the contracting committee. The following is a brief analysis of the three options
that were presented.
Option 1: Retain existing service level at existing cost.
Pros: Currently the adopted FY 11-12 budget provides one full-time press
operator and a portion of a supervisor to provide the current level of
service. It also receives additional staffing support from the Graphic
Division within Central Services whenever available. The amount
budgeted for Copy and Print services FY 11-12 is approximately
$180,000. Given the City's emphasis on increased transparency,
improving marketing efforts, enhancing the city's website and the
reorganization of departments, the ability to quickly publish up-to-date
information is critical. By continuing to provide these services in-house,
it enables the City to implement those improvements at a fast pace,
maintain confidentiality and retain more than 30 years of institutional
knowledge. Many print projects are specifically tailored to be produced
on the City's in-house equipment, and all print shop and photocopy
equipment is paid in full and owned by the City. The only equipment
costs we incur are for maintenance and repairs.
Cons: The annual budget for Print Shop and Reprographics Services is
relatively fixed and cannot be easily expanded or contracted based on
the volume of work that needs to be done at a particular time. Also,
though the staff is small (1.5 full-time equivalent), the positions also
include pension costs that have continued to rise. Finally, the City will
be obligated to pay for new printing and reprographics equipment,
along with repair costs.
Attachment 2
Option 2: Contract with a private provider.
Pros: By contracting these services to a private provider, the City would
eliminate the employee contract costs of 1.5 employees currently
budgeted to these programs. Also, a private provider would allow for
increases and decreases in the volume of work without new hires or
layoffs. And the provider would bear the cost of the equipment and
repairs.
Cons: The City would lose the flexibility, on -demand advantage and
institutional knowledge that come from an in-house operation whose
equipment and personnel have been tailored to meet the City's
needs—something that needs to be weighed against the costs of 1.5
employees and equipment.
Option 3: Contract with another public entity.
Pros: A contract with another public entity would allow Costa Mesa to
eliminate the 1.5 FTE of personnel and pension costs, plus equipment
purchases and repairs. It would also allow for increases and decreases
in the volume of work without new hires or layoffs.
Cons: The City would lose the flexibility, on -demand advantage and
institutional knowledge that come from an in-house operation whose
equipment and personnel have been tailored to meet the City's
needs—something that needs to be weighed against the costs of 1.5
employees and equipment. Also, the City's work would likely be a
secondary priority to the contracted public entiry's work.
These responses are a brief assessment of the alternatives identified by the contracting
committee. More detailed information is available upon request.

3. SCOPE OF WORK
The reprographic needs of the City are time sensitive. Some examples of documents requiring
high volume copying include promotional flyers, billing and legal notices, City forms, Public
Works bid packages, City Council agendas and staff reports, training materials, Planning
Commission documents, and various public information materials including budget and financial
documents. Copy jobs vary in quantity from a few dozen to a few thousand copies per job. The
size and types of paper, document preparation and finishing requirements vary by document.
Some requests may be submitted electronically to the printer, while others may be provided in
hard copy on USB storage device or CD.
It is anticipated that bidders, in most cases, will offer pricing based on production at their own
facility, therefore this request for bid requests. net pricing for copies, with an option for the copy
vendor to provide pickup and delivery services to City Hall or other City facilities.. Standard
turn -around time is to be twenty-four (24) hours or less, with options for four (4) hour, and
while -you -wait expedited services when required.
The City is also accepting bid proposals for in house document services. Interested bidders are
invited to include in house print and copy services and the city will accept bids responses for the
requested services to be provided utilizing the city's existing equipment. A list of equipment
currently utilized by the city has been provided on Attachment H. If this is the case, please
specify on the pricing schedule (Appendix D) that the figures indicated are the `price schedule
for in- house facility management.'
Offset print projects typically will have a longer. turnaround time. Most print projects need to be
completed within three (3) business days depending on the complexity of the project. If any
special services are involved, numbering, perforating or foil stamping for example the project
may take longer, and therefore a five (5) day turnaround for more complex print projects is
acceptable.
The following is a description of the current level of photocopying and other print shop services
used by the City.

printed product is acceptable. Successful bidders will be expected to adequately stock all
printing and bindery materials commonly used by the City in order to ensure timely delivery of
jobs to be produced on demand. Please refer to the sample job bid sheet on Attachment G and
provide pricing information for the print projects listed.

provided are intended to provide frequency and volume of work performed by the print and
graphics division staff. They are not intended to provide technical specifications for each
individual project. They are provided to give an insight into the variety of services provided and
volume of work produced.
See Exhibit 2 for volume charts which indicate number of color copies produced from 2004-
2010, Black & White copies produced from 2001-2010, Print shop impressions form 2001-2010
7 , Attachment 3
and a volume chart that combines all three, Black & white, Color and Print shop impressions in
total.
Please note that while the volume charts show a steady decline in volume for copies and
impressions produced, those declines have not resulted in a significant decline in the number of
requests for service. Instead, the changing numbers are a result of improved technology and
different applications with regard to the movement of information throughout the City and when
communicating with the public. Scanning, online forms, web based applications, plotter printing
and mounting, social media networking are some examples of the changes we have experienced
to our menu of services which has offset the decline in number of actual copies or prints
produced.
SCANNING
The division has seen a significant increase in scan requests in the past year. In the 12 months
preceding issuance of this RFP, staff has scanned over 50,000 sheets which are not reflected in
the volume totals provided above for copies. Division staff (and any contract provider) would be
expected to take over all scanning, other than oversize maps and plans in 2012. Scanning should
be bid as a per sheet price or on an hourly basis or both.
ELECTRONIC SUBMISSION OF JOBS
The City utilizes primarily windows based programs and would like the successful bidders to be
able to receive files for copying in the following software formats: Microsoft Word, Excel,
PowerPoint, Publisher and Visio; Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and Acrobat, Corel Draw, CAD
and GIS software, and plotting capabilities are also required.
OWNERSHIP OF DOCUMENTS
All City documents stored at or reproduced by the vendor shall remain the property of the City,
and shall be returned to the City upon request or upon conclusion of the contract term.
VENDOR QUALIFICATIONS

services required in the time frame requested. The City reserves the right to visit and inspect the
bidder's facilities at a mutually agreed upon time to ascertain that the bidder has the necessary
resources to provide the necessary services.
Bidders proposed location for the production of copies and print services should be within
reasonable travel time of City Hall. In order to conserve the time of City staff, vendors are
requested to offer the option of pickup and delivery services to City Hall. Travel time of City

EVALUATION OF PROPOSALS AND SELECTION PROCESS
In accordance with its Municipal Code, the City will adhere to the following procedures in
evaluating proposals. An Evaluation/Selection Committee (Committee), which may include
members of the City's staff and possibly one or more outside experts, will screen and review all
proposals according to the weighted criteria set forth above. While price is one basic factor for
award, it is not the sole consideration.
A. Responsiveness Sereeninzr
Proposals will first be screened to ensure responsiveness to the RFP. The City may reject
as non-responsive any proposal that does not include the documents required to be
submitted by this RFP. At any time during the evaluation process, the City reserves the
right to request clarifications or additional information from any or all Proposers
regarding their proposals.
B. Initial Proposal Review
The Committee will initially review and score all responsive written proposals based
upon the Evaluation Criteria set forth above. The Committee may also contact Proposer's
references. Proposals that receive the highest evaluation scores may be invited to the
next stage of the evaluation process. The City may reject any proposal in which a
Proposer's approach, qualifications, or price is not considered acceptable by the City. An
unacceptable proposal is one that would have to be substantially rewritten to make it
IM
15 Attachment 3
acceptable. The City may conclude the evaluation process at this point and recommend
award to the lowest responsible bidder. Alternatively, the City may elect to negotiate
directly with one or more Proposers to obtain the best result for the City prior to making a
recommendation or selection.
C. Interviews, Reference Checks, Revised Proposals, Discussions
Following the initial screening and review of proposals, the Proposers included in this
stage of the evaluation process may be invited to participate in an oral interview.
Interviews, if held, are tentatively scheduled for , 2011 and will
be conducted at City of Costa Mesa City Hall, 77 Fair Drive, Costa Mesa, CA 92626.
This date is subject to change. The individual(s) from Proposer's firm or entity that will
be directly responsible for carrying out the contract, if awarded, should be present at the
oral interview. The oral interview may, but is not required to, use a written
question/answer format for the purpose of clarifying the intent of any portions of the
proposal.
In addition to conducting an oral interview, the City may during this stage of the
evaluation process also contact and evaluate the Proposer's references, contact any
Proposer to clarify any response or request revised or additional information, contact any
current users of a Proposer's services, solicit information from any available source
concerning any aspect of a proposal, and seek and review any other information deemed
pertinent to the evaluation process.
Following conclusion of this stage of the evaluation process, the Committee will again
rank all Proposers according to the evaluation criteria set forth above. The Committee
may conclude the evaluation process at this point, and make a recommendation for
award, or it may request Best and Final Offers from Proposers. The City may accept the
proposal or negotiate the terms and conditions of the agreement with the highest ranked
firm, which shall be determined to be the lowest responsible bidder. The City may
recommend award without Best and Final Offers, so Proposers should include their best
proposal with their initial submission.
Recommendation for award is contingent upon the successful negotiation of final
contract teens. Negotiations shall be confidential and not subject to disclosure to
competing Proposers unless an agreement is reached. If contract negotiations cannot be
concluded successfully within a time period determined by the City, the City may
terminate negotiations and commence negotiations with the next highest scoring Proposer
or withdraw the RFP.
8. PROTEST PROCEDURES
Failure to comply with the rules set forth herein may result in rejection of the protest. Protests
based upon restrictive specifications or alleged improprieties in the proposal procedure which are
apparent or reasonably should have been discovered prior to receipt of proposals shall be filed in
15
16 Attachment 3
writing with the RFP Facilitator at least 10 calendar days prior to the deadline for receipt of
proposals. The protest must clearly specify in writing the grounds and evidence on which the
protest is based.

have been discovered prior to submission date of the proposals, such as disputes over the staff
recommendation for contract award, shall be submitted in writing to the RFP Facilitator, within
forty-eight hours from receipt of the notice from the City advising of staff's recommendation for
award of contract. The protest must clearly specify in writing the grounds and evidence on which
the protest is based. The RFP Facilitator will respond to the protest in writing at least three days
prior to the meeting at which staffs recommendation to the City Council will be considered.
Should Proposer decide to appeal the response of the RFP Facilitator, and pursue its protest at
the Council meeting, it will notify the RFP Facilitator of its intention at least two days prior to
the scheduled meeting.
9. CONFIDENTIALITY
The California Public Records Act (Cal. Govt. Code Sections 6250 et seq.) mandates public
access to government records. Therefore, unless information is exempt from disclosure by law,
the content of any request for explanation, exception, or substitution, response to this RFP,
protest, or any other written communication between the City and Proposer, shall be available to
the public. The City intends to release all public portions of the proposals following the
evaluation process at such time as a recommendation is made to the City Council.

if disclosed, the Proposer shall request that the City withhold from disclosure the proprietary
information by marking each page containing such proprietary information as confidential.
Proposer may not designate its entire proposal as confidential nor designate its Price Proposal as
confidential.
Submission of a proposal shall indicate that, if Proposer requests that the City withhold from
disclosure information identified as confidential, and the City complies with the Proposer's
request, Proposer shall assume all responsibility for any challenges resulting from the non-
disclosure, indemnify and hold harmless the City from and against all damages (including but
not limited to attorney's fees that may be awarded to the party requesting the Proposer
information), and pay any and all costs and expenses related to the withholding of Proposer
information. Proposer shall not make a claim, sue, or maintain any legal action against the City

person having such an interest in the performance of any Agreement awarded. Violation of this

Agreement.
17
18 Attachment 3
