Also, here's my caveat: the aftermath of redistricting in 2021-2022 might cause the city to add back one or more precincts, depending on the location of new congressional or legislative boundaries. If you want to go forward with this, just let me know and we will prepare a map to illustrate how best to do the consolidation. 8. Under Section V, the cities will ultimately own the equipment. Yet in Section IV, a lease option is identified? Are there lease payment options that are not yet identified? A: We have not yet made a firm decision to purchase rather than lease, although a purchase would seem to make most sense at this point. We have discussed asking the vendors to submit both price schedules. 9. In Section VI, the warranty period is blank. Will the RFP require responding firms to include a minimum warranty period? A: We have not yet made a decision on the warranty Issue, namely whether or not it makes sense to purchase an extended warranty, at least for the first few years. My sense is that we are leaning in that direction. 10. In Section VIII, subsection "C" appears to be missing. A: That has been corrected. 11. In Section VIII, Sebsection "D" the County will determine how the old equipment will be liquidated, at its sole discretion. If the equipment is owned by the City, why does the County control the disposition? Granted, I presume there's greater resale value in the system as a whole rather than parceling out bits and pieces here and there by individual cities, so am not opposed. Just curious. A: Individually, the current voting system is of little to no value. Our best chance yLany kind of return on its sale or disposal will be to do so in bulk at the point that the new voting system is purclWsect Jt1 Ct, we may well make vendor payment to take the old system a requirement of any new purchase. 12. I'm not sure I understand the intent of Section XI, specifically, the following: "However, the County will not participate in any discussions at these meetings that involve renegotiation of the financial provisions for the first five years of this Agreement." Does this mean that discussions may proceed however the County will plug its ears or leave the room? Is there some magic associated with five years? If for some reason the costs change dramatically in the first five years, would the County not want to address it as soon as possible? A: That section, which was from the 2001 JPA, was removed in the revised JPA. 13. Section XII, Sub D addresses insurance. If the County stores our equipment, the County will carry such adequate coverage? A: Yes.
