R12-110 - EQUESTED CTION BY ITY OMMISSION Approve the expenditure of $27,506.85 for the annual renewal of the Grants Network Master Subscription and Service Agreement with eCivis. ER: The City of Boynton Beach Grants Team has been XPLANATION OF EQUEST successfully using eCivis’ grant management products to research and track grant opportunities and awards for the past eleven years. In 2007, the City Commission approved entering into a Grants Network Master Subscription and Service Agreement with eCivis, via Resolution No. R07-032. The Agreement is automatically renewed for successive one year terms unless either party provides written notice to the other party prior to the end of the term indicating the party’s intent to terminate this Agreement effective at the end of the current October 31, 2012 term. H? Renewal of the Grants Network OW WILL THIS AFFECT CITY PROGRAMS OR SERVICES Master Subscription and Service Agreement will enable the Grants Team members to continue to efficiently seek grant opportunities and manage grant awards. Grants Network: Tracking & Reporting web-based system maximizes the coordination of, and visibility into, the grants process, mitigates turnover issues, increases our award rate, and centralizes all files. The system provides citywide use and oversight by the Grants Coordinator and the Finance Department. Staff has compared this product to other grant management products on the market and by far this surpasses the competition. (See attached comparison.) Grants Network is designed specifically for local governments and offers much more than basic grant management. There is no other product that provides access to a centralized federal, 16 of 361 state, local and foundation grant database, grant management and reporting tools, a training component and organizational wide oversight. The Master Subscription and Service Agreement includes access to a database of local, state and federal grant opportunities, on-line/on-demand training at no additional cost, news and legislative updates on grant opportunities, and a project level document repository for our annual single audit. This allows the auditor on-line access to all grant related documents. This also enables the City to move towards a more paperless process. Our return on investment is evident year after year as staff researches effectively manages millions of federal, state and local grant dollars using eCivis Grants Network. FI: In FY2011, 20 grant awards totaling $6,491,101 were managed by ISCAL MPACT departments using eCivis’ Grants Network. In addition to preparing grant applications, staff closed out 12 federal, state and local grants worth $2,305,644 as projects were completed. The City of Boynton Beach receives substantial discounts due to our long standing relationship in testing grant research and management products with eCivis. The renewal rate has not increased since FY 2008/09. The total cost for Grant Network Research, Tracking & Reporting, and KnowledgeBase service is $27,506.85. This expense is included in the adopted FY2012/2013 General Fund budget and will be taken from the Grants Team account #001-1210-512-64-14. A: Not renew the Master Subscription and Service Agreement and LTERNATIVES dramatically decrease our ability to efficiently and effectively seek and manage grants citywide. 17 of 361 RESOLUTION NO.

In an effort to reduce costs, the Utilities department acquired quotes for tanks; these costs ranged from $14,000 for a refurbished tank to $32,000 for a new one.
