    1. APPROVAL OF DISPOSAL OF PROPERTY – MIAMI COUNTY SHEDS

2) Purchase a new vehicle for the president’s travel needs.

Attached are three quotes for the president’s car:

    1. BACKGROUND: CONSIDERATION OF PURCHASE OF SCORER’S TABLE

BACKGROUND: Fort Scott Community College is seeking permission to purchase a new scorer’s table for the gym.  The table will be featured at all basketball and volleyball games and will be a great addition to Arnold Arena.  The old tables were in very rough shape and were no longer usable.  Another great feature of the new tables is that they have the ability to present sponsors during the game and halftime through the video screen.  This will give the athletic department the ability to market local companies during the future seasons. 

Included are three quotes:

Daktronics $19,950.00

Nevco $18,820.43

Athco $16,300.00


The scorer’s table will be purchased from gate receipts funds.

RECOMMENDATION: It is recommendation of administration that the quote from Daktronics be accepted due to the capabilities of the Daktronics table.

    1. CONSIDERATION OF ATHLETIC INSURANCE AND CATASTROPHIC INJURY INSURANCE

BACKGROUND: NJCAA requires affiliated programs to provide athletic insurance and catastrophic injury/accident coverage. During the last 4 months Tom Havron, Marci Meyers and Julie Eichenberger have worked with three different agents to receive the best quotes possible for the athletic department. The challenge has been that our athletic injury claims the past two years have increased.

We have asked for information regarding injury claims, visited the possibility of requiring all athletes to purchase insurance if they cannot provide proof of primary insurance, and how each agent can help us manage our claims expense going forward.

Each agent was given the same information regarding deductibles, claim experience, benefit period, and maximum claim payout, as well as checked references if the agent was unknown to us.

Attached is summarized information regarding quoted prices from each agent and their policy and experience.

RECOMMENDATION: It is the recommendation of administration to accept the athletic insurance quote of $183,183 and catastrophic injury / accident coverage quote of $16,500 from Borden/Perlman

    1. CONSIDERATION OF BIDS FOR ARNOLD ARENA SOUTH PEN COVER

BACKGROUND: In March FSCC received a grant from Timken Foundation for upgrades to Arnold Arena rodeo area. This grant covered several different items that needed to be addressed including ADA parking/unloading, ADA seating, ADA accessibility to bathroom facilities and a concession stand. Also included were monies for a cover over the south pens, additional lighting and updates to man doors and garage doors as monies allowed. Timken’s first concern was for ADA accessibility.

Taking Timken’s lead on ADA accessibility we have included on the north side a pad for ADA unloading on the exterior and then poured concrete in the interior at the North end of the seating that allows for ADA access to seating, bathroom facilities close by and currently we are working on a small concession stand area on the north end. The lighting has also been updated to LED. All of this was completed before the spring 2019 rodeo.

With the remaining grant monies we are ready to start work on the cover for the south pens. This will provide our contestants cover during bad weather. A request for proposal was published in the Fort Scott Tribune with a deadline of June 18th. Receiving no proposals from our notice we have asked for input and references from Coach Cross and others of someone who might be interested.

The following two quotes included in the following pages were received upon contacting them:

H & M Construction $39,800

Koehn Building Systems, LLC $49,672

Both individuals come highly recommended.

RECOMMENDATION: It is the recommendation of administration to accept the quote from H&M Construction for $39,800

    1. CONSIDERATION OF SECURITY/SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM BIDS

BACKGROUND: FSCC currently has a security/surveillance system with approximately 48 cameras in operation in Greyhound and Boileau Halls to monitor the property and safety of the students. This surveillance system was installed sometime before 2010. Due to hardware and software limitations, changes in technology and the difficulties obtaining support its original contracted installer; it no longer meets the growing needs for maintaining a level of surveillance that is adequate for effective campus security.

As part of the ongoing push to upgrade technology around campus, IT worked with Tom Havron to work on updating the cameras on campus to improve overall campus safety and security. While the main focus of the project was the cameras, it was also intended to be part of a campus-wide security upgrade. Parts of this upgrade would include new cameras and updated access control for buildings. It also included new areas of campus that were previously not covered by cameras.

A Request for Proposal was created that listed out the areas that we wanted to be covered by cameras as well as requesting information from the vendors about related systems for access-control. We requested solutions for on-premise and cloud-hosted recording. Areas requested were Greyhound Lodge (Bids 1A and 1B), Greyhound and Boileau Hall (Bids 2A and 2B), and other parts of campus including Ellis Fine Arts and Bailey Hall (Bids 3A and 3B).

We published the notification of the request and sent it out by email for proposals to provide multiple solutions for this project on June 13, 2019, to ten vendors and closed the bidding after extending the deadline to June 24, 2019, at 3:00 PM (CST). We had a total of seven solution providers participate, as indicated in Table 1.

    1. APPROVAL OF REVISED NEGOTIATED AGREEMENT WITH FSCAPE

BACKGROUND: When the 2018-2020 Negotiated Agreement was approved, the 2019-2020 salary increase was to be one step and column movement. The agreement stated that contract negotiations would be re-opened if the state operating grant was increased $35,000 or more for the 2019-2020 academic year. FSCC is receiving just over $35,000 additional in state operating funds, so the negotiating team re-convened for the sole purpose of increasing base salary for the upcoming academic year. The negotiating team agreed to a $300 increase to the base, and FSCAPE has ratified the agreement.

RECOMMENDATION: It is the recommendation that the Board approve the revised Negotiated Agreement with FSCAPE.
