City will advise the Respondent and afford the Respondent an opportunity to protect its assertion that said

any damages and costs the City may incur due to the Respondent's claim that its document or information is
confidential. The City can only agree to advise the Respondent of such request and give the Respondent an
opportunity, at Respondent's sole and exclusive cost, to defend the request for disclosure of the confidential
information or document in a Court of competent jurisdiction or other applicable forum.

providing inventory and valuation servicesto,conform with the requirementsof GASG34 as it PElrtainstoreportlng
requirements and depreciation. We have provided our Technical Proposal. further outlining our scope and
methodologies to perform the services above in Attachment A to Contract within this RFP response.
Why Duff & Phelps?
Everyone claims to be different, but often the differentiators amount to little more than indistinct references to
state-of-the-art methods and world-class expertise. We believe that differentiators must be specific, tliey must
be provable, and they must b,e relevant to the City, as evidenced by the very real benefits they Will provide to
you. After gaining a further understanding, of your objectives we b€!lieve those advantages are as follows:
• Unparalleled property insurance appraisal quaiiflcations and experience
• Size of staff: 125 full-time property insurance appraisal consultantsloeated in regional offices throughout
the U,S.
• No utilization of subcontractors fo ensure CQn~fsteOqy In property IMurance IlPptaisal approach and
methodology
• PinancialassuranQeandindElpendence
• Innovative web-baSi:ld reportingplatform:eRI$K Property Manager

Public Sector ExpE!rience
Our Fixed Asset Management-and Insurance SQlutionspractice hCiS significante)(perience in serving. large public
entity risk pools. and state agencies with numerous rn.ernbers and multiple locationS. Our cOl'\sUMnts work with
these pools iltthedesign Cindimplementa,tionof pfOpenyappraisal serviceprogrEims for their members; We are
curr~ntly serving more than pO public entity risk pqols whose members range from housing authorities, smaU
school districts and municipalities to farge school districts, Cities, counties, public hospitals, lJniversities, state
governments, special districts and water and waste water treatmentfacilities.
Knowledge of the Property Insurance Industry
We complete over 30;0()0 property a,ppraisals for insLiran.ce purposes eVery year. CQnsequeritlYi we understand
the complex issues that can arise in estimating insurable values a,nd .the impaot that Qur serviCe has on the
underwriting and catastrophe modeling process.
We understand that property insurance underwriters are interested in good data and that accuracy and
completeness of the property Construction; Occupanoy. Protection, and Exposure (COPE) data provided by the
insured is often out of date and unreliable. Therefore, unlikeotherfirms, we place a significant emphasis cnthe
inspection of properties and the independent compilation of the relevant COPE data.
Extensive Experience in Managing Large, Complex Projects
Duff & Phelps has successfully handled some of the largest and most complex valuation engagements of the
past decade. As a consequence, although the proposed project for the City is large and complex, it is similar in
scope to the kind of engagements we undertake regularly_ The value of this experience is that you will be
working with consultants who have the project experience, business acumen and valuation expertise to complete
this engagement efficiently and cost-effectively.

theabsel1ce of reaqilyavailable information, the acquisition date will be estimated based upon Duff
& Phelps's knowledge of the property type and its condition.
Estimated Life -An estirnate will be made of the usefu[·life of each unit-controlled asset and each
group~controlled ~sset. The matter of historical Ilfing practice .ysr§us estimCited actual lives will be
discllssed durihgthe planning meeting and an acceptableapproa6h will be developed.
Accumulated Depreciation -Will be based on the asset's cost; acqUisition date and the estimated
useful life utilizing the straight-line basis of depreciation. Useful lives Will be based on information
provided by the CitY or industry standards.
Insurable Value (For Insurance Purposes Only) -Cost of reproduction new (replacement cost) as
of the appraisal date will be used as.a basis for insurable'values for &11 controlled property.
Valuation Approach
bur analysis will consider the three basic approaches to value: income, market and cost. In accordance
with the USPAP guidelines, all basic approaches tovalue will be con$idered; however, because the purpose
of our investigation will be to express an opinion on the existence and the historical cost and accumulated
depreciation of certain fixed assets for financial reporting purposes, it will be considered appropriate to rely
solely on the cost approach.

and record data of the major .construction c;omponents (type of structure, walls, roof, etc.) and type of
construction; record number of stories. and occupancy; confirmation of addresses and zip codes for each
location; record data of major service systems (electrical, plurnbing, security, elevators,. heating, ventilation,
