The period of the agreement is June 1, 2010 through May 31, 2011, with two 1-year renewal options. AMOUNT OF MONEY AND SOURCE: $186,564.00 ­ 2076-000000-2320-254200-603026 Maintenance Fee 75,000.00 ­ 2076-000000-2320-254200-603026 Snow Removal* $261,564.00 *Snow Removal ­ this is an estimate. Actual dollar amount required for snow removal will be determined by the amount of snowfall. BACKGROUND/EXPLANATION: On July 23, 2003, the PABC was given the duties of management, maintenance and control of the City's parking lots through a memorandum of understanding. Under the Parking Facilities Maintenance agreement the CMG, Inc. will maintain 24 parking lots. The services that CMG will perform include emptying trash receptacles, power sweeping, trimming vegetation and clearing snow and ice. The CMG will also clean the Farmer's Market lot, prior to the market opening each day. The PABC issued an RFP for the maintenance of the 24 parking facilities and has received responses from three firms. The proposals were reviewed by a panel consisting of members of the PABC, Baltimore Office of Promotion and the Arts and the Department of Transportation. The panel found that CMG's proposal represented the best value to the PABC and recommended award of the contract to CMG, Inc.

AMOUNT OF MONEY AND SOURCE: No general funds are involved in this transaction. Donations will be solicited from Baltimore-area lawyers to fund the CollegeBound Last Dollar grant. A potential list will be provided by the CollegeBound Foundation and will not be compiled by the City. It therefore will be based upon records regarding persons who may not be controlled donors. BACKGROUND/EXPLANATION: In order to avoid any suggestion that contributors might receive special access or favored treatment by an agency or public servant of the City, the solicitation will be by letter with an appearance by the Mayor at a kick-off event and without the opportunity for access to the Mayor. Additionally, the letter is also signed by several other prominent attorneys so there is no implication that the Mayor is the sole endorser of the campaign. For over a decade, the CollegeBound Foundation has experienced success with its mission to encourage and enable disadvantaged Baltimore City public high school students to go to college. The Foundation was founded as an independent, non-profit program designed to work exclusively with Baltimore City students to help them achieve a post-secondary education. The broader goal was to prepare them to be members of Baltimore's workforce and to contribute to the strengthening of the social and economic fabric of the City. The annual Lawyer's Campaign for the CollegeBound Last Dollar 71 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 7/21/10 Mayor's Office ­ cont'd grant raises crucial funds for the Foundation. Last academic year, 154 college freshman, sophomores, juniors and seniors received CollegeBound cash awards totaling $319,350.00. The Baltimore City Ethics Board requires that the application be reviewed and approved by the Board of Estimates. Baltimore City Code Article 8, Section 6-26, prohibits solicitation or facilitating the solicitation of a gift. An exception was enacted in 2005 to permit certain solicitations that are for the benefit of an official governmental program or activity, or a City-endorsed charitable function or activity that has been pre-approved by the Ethics Board. Ethics Regulation 96.26B sets out the standards for approval, which includes the requirement that the program, function, or activity to be benefited and the proposed solicitation campaign must be endorsed by the Board of Estimates or its designees. 72 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 7/21/10 Baltimore National Heritage Area ­ Grant Agreements The Board is requested to approve and authorize execution of the various grant agreements.

AMOUNT OF MONEY AND SOURCE: $7,146.00 ­ 1001-000000-1600-172899-603026 BACKGROUND/EXPLANATION: On May 12, 2010, the Board approved the execution of a Group Sales Agreement with Baltimore's Tremont's Historic Venue and All-Suite Hotel to administer the Police Sergeant oral examination. Although the agreement included six nights, funding was requested for only five nights and it has been determined that all six nights will be necessary. The promotional Police Sergeant oral examination will be administered on July 26, 2010 through July 30, 2010. The written portion of the Police Sergeant examination was held on June 05, 2010. Although that scoring process is not complete, based on the number of candidates who appeared at the written exam, it has been determined that testing for the oral portion of the examination will extend through late Friday necessitating payment for the rooms one additional night. The number of rooms will be the same, but there will be an additional cost for Friday night in the amount of $7,146.00 The total expense is not to exceed $51,003.70 by expenditure authorization.
