Section 1. Project Summary and Background

1.1. PROJECT REQUEST

The City of Detroit Office of Contracting and Procurement (OCP) on behalf of the department of transportation requests proposals from qualified Respondents to render certain technical or professional services ("Services") as set forth in this RFP to provide asset inventory audit services.

1.2. BACKGROUND/DESCRIPTION OF ENVIRONMENT

Prior to starting the physical inventory portion of the project, the vendor converts all current fixed asset data provided by the city to conduct the re-inventory and verify assets. This is a key step in the process because it will establish a baseline fixed asset inventory database as well as properly track and report on exception assets such as disposals which are important for audit compliance.

1. The city will provide the vendor with current fixed asset data.

2. The vendor will review the data files and will work with the city to get the data in the best possible format for import. Assignment of database code numbers and associated descriptions for locations, buildings, and classification codes will be established.

3. The vendor maps all fixed asset fields for import.

1.3. AWARD CLAUSE INCLUDING RENEWAL OPTIONS

If a contract is awarded as a result of this RFP, it will be a City of Detroit Professional Services Contract (Attachment E). The term of the contract will be for up to three (3) years. Any renewal option exercised under this contract is effective only after the approval of the Detroit City Council and signed by the Chief Procurement Officer. The City anticipates one or multiple awards as a result of the RFP.

Revised 12/2/2025 Page 5 of 20

Section 2. Statement of Work

2.1. SERVICES TO BE PERFORMED

During the term of the contract, the contractor shall complete the following projects:

Buildings & Structures The vendor will independently calculate the square foot area of each building appraised through the review of "as-built" blueprints or physically measuring each building.

Building photographs will be prepared for each structure to become part of our proof-of-loss documentation, in addition to assisting with the valuation efforts. A description for each building will be developed and recorded, depicting construction type and materials utilized.

Primary Construction, Occupancy, Protection, and Exposure (COPE) data include:

a) Occupancy Type j) Construction Date b)Construction/ISO Class k) Heating/Cooling Systems

c) Framing l) Electrical

d) Roofing m) Plumbing

e) Ceiling n) Elevators

f) Exterior Walls o) Identify Protection Systems

g) Square Footage p) Additional Features

h) Foundation/Footings q) GPS Coordinates

i) Condition r) Flood Zone Classifications

During the office valuation portion of the engagement, property exclusions (those items not typically covered by an insurance policy) will be segregated to properly report the site preparation and excavation, footings and foundations, and a portion of plumbing costs (below grade).

Construction/ISO Classifications In addition to the analysis of individual building components, construction classes will also be recorded. ISO classes 1-6, as defined by the Commercial Fire Rating Schedule (CFRS) are defined in terms of the Marshall and Swift construction classes as follows:

ISO Class M and S Class Description

1 D Frame/Combustible

2 C Joisted Masonry

3 S Noncombustible

Revised 12/2/2025 Page 6 of 20

4 C Masonry Noncombustible

5 A Modified Fire Resistive

6 B Fire Resistive

PROPERTY LISTING

• 100 Mack Avenue — Detroit Health Dept./American Red Cross

• 1301 E. Warren Avenue — Detroit DOT

• 1121 W. Eight Mile Rd — Jason Hargrove Transit Center

• 1300 Cass — Rosa Parks Transit Center

• 5149 St. Jean — Shoemaker Terminal

• 5600 Wabash — Gilbert Terminal

• 14044 Schaefer Highway — Coolidge Terminal

Machinery, Furniture, and Equipment A detailed inspection and field inventory will be conducted at all buildings included in the list of locations provided by the city, identifying each asset by location, building and room. All assets included in our re-inventory and appraisal will be recorded and categorized by major accounts. This segregation of items will assist in reporting asset valuation totals for capital asset reporting formats. The assets will be identified under the classes below.

a)Asset Identification Number i) Building

b) Description j) Site/Location

c) Quantity k) Room/Sub-location

d) Acquisition Date l) Historical (and Replacement) Costs

e) Manufacturer m) Miscellaneous/User Defined (i.e., old

f) Model tag#)

g) Serial Number n) Department Code

h) Asset Account o) Normal Useful Life

Department Codes will be included with the assistance of City personnel. The vendor will apply tags to each asset and enter the tag numbers along with all corresponding asset information into the database. Tags will be applied in a consistent location on like items, enabling ease of future re-inventory efforts.

• Capital Assets — All assets with an original cost of $5,000 or more and having an estimated useful life of three years or greater will be inventoried and

Revised 12/2/2025 Page 7 of 20 identified individually and capitalized in the resulting reports and data. Only these assets will appear in the capitalized accounting reports.

• Critical Control Assets — The following types of assets will be tagged and inventoried, regardless of cost:

• All assets with an original cost between $1,000 and $4,999.

• All Laptop Computers (regardless of cost) All Desktop Computers

(regardless of cost)

Licensed Vehicles The vendor will work with City personnel to coordinate the physical inventory of vehicles in a designated location by department.

Property in the Open The staff will account for all property in the open assets with an original cost of $5,000 or more as part of the scope of this project.

VALUATION METHODOLOGY

The valuation portion of the project entails the research and calculations necessary to formulate both historic and/or replacement costs. The vendor and the city’s quality control supervisor work hand in-hand to ensure the integrity of the data. The focus is on completeness, accuracy, and proper formatting of all data prior to final processing and delivery.

The vendors’ investigation of the property will follow generally accepted appraisal techniques and will include the use of specific techniques necessary to develop valid and acceptable original cost and date of acquisition for each asset. This should include the use of the straight-line method of depreciation. The vendor will determine original cost by using the following costing methods:

• The Direct Costing method will be used where historical data is readily available from City records. The actual purchase cost and acquisition date will be maintained for those assets.

• Standard Costing is used when inventoried property units/groups not reconciled to a historical record receive an estimated cost, where possible, based upon a standard cost (a known average installed cost for a like unit) at the estimated acquisition date.

• The Normal Costing method will be used where no historical information is readily available. These assets will be valued on a current basis and back trended to an estimated date of acquisition to estimate the original cost. During the costing and valuation procedures, all items will be assigned a useful life. The useful life of an item will determine its approximate replacement year.

Revised 12/2/2025 Page 8 of 20

During the valuation research, the vendor will examine all assets to determine date of acquisition, original cost and/or replacement cost new, defined as follows:

• ORIGINAL COST is the amount originally paid to acquire the asset, including such cost as set-up charges; transportation; taxes; engineering and architectural fees; and title insurance. If an asset was donated or bought for a nominal sum, GAAP requires that the asset be accounted for at market value as of the date of acquisition.

• REPLACEMENT COST NEW is the amount required to reproduce property in like utility and function, in accordance with current market prices for materials, labor, equipment, contractor's overhead, profit and fees, but with no provisions for overtime or bonuses for labor and premiums for material or equipment, based upon replacing the entire property at one time.

CLASSIFICATION OF ASSETS

During the inventory and coding processes, the vendor will classify each asset by distinct type or category. Assets will be assigned to different classifications, each with their own estimated normal useful life. This classification structure will enable the city to select off data for flexible reporting, as well as provide a benchmark for projecting replacement of capital equipment.

Additionally, this structure will provide the asset life schedule for calculation of depreciation for current reporting requirements and eventual compliance with general accounting requirements.

PROJECT SCHEDULE

The vendor will work with the City of Detroit DOT to devise a schedule that will allow the project to be completed in a timely fashion.

DELIVERABLES

The vendor will provide quality control waypoints, to include the issuance of preliminary reports prior to final report distribution and optical electronic report for future perpetuation.

PRELIMINARY REPORTS

Preliminary reports will be sent via email in Microsoft excel format for review.

FINAL REPORTS

Upon acceptance of preliminary reports, the vendor will prepare and deliver final reports in electronic format. Must include at least one hard copy of the final report in addition to electronic format.

2.2. OPERATIONAL INFORMATION
