EDMONDS, PARKING ADMINISTRATOR RE: ALLEGATION RELATIVE TO RFP FOR CURBSIDE MANGEMENT This shall serve as a follow up the telephone conversation that we held on May 23, 2012. As you may recall, during our conversation on the above stated date, I expressed my outrage to you about a malicious and slanderous allegation made by Chief Information Of?cer, Allen Square regarding my integrity as a member of the Selection Committee for the RFP for Curbside Management. This false and offensive allegation has been reported to me on more than one occasmn. I was first made aware of Mr. Square?s allegation on April 23, 2012 when I attended a meeting that was held in the Purchasing Of?ce to discuss the pricing matrix for the RFP for Curbside Management. My fellow meeting attendees were: Mary Kay Kleinpeter-Zamora, Nat Celestine, Donnye Brady, Jorge Hernandez and you, Mark emigan. - - During this meeting, Mrs. Kleinpeter?Zamora brought to my attention that on or about March 26, 2012, Mr. Square stated to you, CAO Kopplin and Deputy Mayor Grant that I was intentionally steering the RFP for Curbside Management and subsequent contract award to a particular vendor, Xerox, formally ACS State and Local Solutions, Inc. Mr. Edward Kerkow from Mr. Square?s Innovation and Technology team was also present when Mr. Square made this false allegation. Mrs. Kleinpeter?Zamora assured me that you, Mr. Jemigan and Deputy Mayor Grant expressed great con?dence in my level of competence and impartial efforts to serve as a Selection Committee member who would make decisions that are in the best interest of the City of New Orleans. With this being said, I took no action to refute Mr. Square?s ridiculous allegation. Moreover, I knew that my actions as a Selection Committee member would demonstrate my integrity and invalidate Mr. Square?s allegation. However, on May 23, 2012, I received another report of Mr. Square?s slanderous allegation during a conversation with a colleague in the parking industry. It was reported that Mr. Square, when questioned about the status of the RFP selection process, replied that ?the Parking Administrator, Zepporiah Edmonds, has been compromised because she is attempting to steer the contract towards a particular vendor.? Obviously, I am furious about Mr. Square?s false statement as it could taint my credibility and image as highly?respected Parking Professional. Even further, as a city employee I am embarrassed that Mr. Square would stoop to the lowest level possible of slandering my good name and attempting to defame my character just to push his agenda through, which is to pre-determine the outcome of the selection for City?s vendor for Curbside Management. My work history will show that I have an impeccable performance record that re?ects 28 years of hard work as a proud and'honest Civil Service employee. I am con?dent that my integrity, character and performance with regard to this entire RFP process, as well as my performance in general as the City?s Parking Administrator can withstand any investigation at every level. The only thing that I will be found guilty of is being non-compliant to Mr. Square, Mr. McKenna and Mr. Kerkow?s strong-arm tactics and bad in?uence to get me on their ?bandwagon?. It is my opinion that the vendor of their choice, who was chosen by this ?team? before the ?nal draft of the RFP was written and the selection process began, is aware of this fact. My actions as Parking Administrator and ?watchdog? over the integrity of the City?s Parking Program foiled their plan. Therefore, I am convinced that Mr. Square?s attempt to have my integrity and credibility questioned is his last ditch effort to keep their agenda moving. An OIG investigation at any given time during this process would be refreshing. It would be intriguing to hear Mr. Square and his ?team? exPIain their actions, roles and interests in this RFP process. Please feel free to contact'me to discuss this matter if you have any questions or concerns. 1340 POYDRAS STREET SUITE 301 ORLEANS, LOUISIANA 701 12 PHONE 504.658.82q0 I FAX 504.658.8202 ATTACHMENT #4 July 25, 2012 Mark Jemigan, Lt. Col. Selection Committee Chairman 1300 Perdido St. Room 6W03 New Orleans, LA 70112 Dear Mr. Committee Chairman: Thank you for granting me the great honor in appointing me as part of the City of New Orleans Selection Committee for the Curbside Management RFP. As a member of the Selection Committee presently convened Itake my duties very seriously and all my decisions are strictly based on the facts as presented as I feel that the award of this contract will impact the City?s parking operations in the way that it affects the citizens of New Orleans. In light of this, it is my duty to state for the record that the selection process has taken an inordinate amount of time which in turn has impacted and continues to impact our operation on a daily basis. Moreover, I believe that in a number of instances the process has been delayed unduly. Therefore, in moving forward I am seeking clarification on a number of salient points. In my review of Mayor Mitch Landrieu?s Executive Order MJL 10-05, he set the rules and governance for ?a competitive selection procedure and award of professional services contract?. The reason for the Executive Order was that ?it is in the interest of the City to create a process that is open, honest, fair, transparent, just and inclusive?. Most importantly, the Mayor?s Executive Order states that ?it is (in the) interest of the City to create a process that increases public confidence in the City?s procurement procedures and provides safeguards for the maintenance of a procurement system of quality and integrity?. Executive Order MJL 10-05 Issues: I would like you Committee Chairman, Jemigan, to clarify a number of questions and issues that in good conscience cannot be left unanswered. Furthermore, I have deep reservations that the process in choosing. a vendor to date is being comprised in a manner which is in violation of the Spirit and letter of Executive Order MJ 10-05, Section 9; Selection Committee which states: The Chief Procurement Officer must establish Selection Committee with relevant. subject- matter expertise in reviewing and evaluating responses to a solicitation. Each response to a solicitation for the award of a professional service contract must be evaluated by a committee of five individuals consisting of: the manager of the User Entity requesting the service, or his designee; - the First Deputy Mayor-Chief Administrative Officer, or his designee; - the employee who will manage and monitor the contract; - a professional from within local government who possesses expertise in the relevant field; and the Chief Financial Officer or his designee Section 9 goes on to state: The purpose of the Selection Committee is to conduct an independent, objective evaluation of applicants for the provision of professional services. All members of the Selection Committee must execute a disclosure certifying that they do not possess a conflict with any of the reSpondents?. It goes on to say ?For complex procurements, the members of the Selection Committee, through a majorityvote may add a non?voting member to the Selection Committee from outside city government with expertise in the relevant field. As ?the employee who will manage and monitor the contract? I believe that not only that we are in violation of the Mayor?s Executive Order, but that the proceedings are being conducted in a manner that award the contract to a pre-determined VendOr. Ibase this on undue participation and influence by two individuals outside of the established format as stated in Section 9; Selection Committee of the Mayor?s Executive Order. Yet, Mr. Allen Square, Innovation Manager and Edward Kurkow, Innovation Team have been routinely allowed to sit in the deliberations and make objections when it is clear that they do not have the legal right to participate nor to engage in this manner. I Specifically relate to a meeting held on Monday, June 18, 2012 where Chief Financial Officer, Norman Foster made a motion to rank the three vendors and which I seconded. However, the motion was tabled due to Mr. Kurkow?s objection. With that in mind, I am asking the other Committee members to help me understand Mr. Kurkow?s role and whether his and Mr. Square?s participation to this extent is legal. I especially find the participation of Mr. Kurkow highly questionable and troubling as he is a former employee of ACSr/Xerox one of the three vendors under consideration. In addition, it is industry wide knowledge that he has a close relationship with Duncan Solutions, the second of the three vendors that are the finalists. Executive Order MJL 10-05I Section 11; Contract Negotiation: As a member of the Selection Committee I ask you, Mr. Chairman for clarification of Section 11 which states: Subsequent to the selection of the respondent offering the best value, the User Entigz may negotiate a lower price and other tenns identi?ed by the Selection Committee between the winning respondent and the head of the User Entity or his designee, however; the services offered must remain strictly within the scope of the solicitation. In my opinion, the proceedings are also in violation of this clause. As evidence I refer to an email written by Mr. Kurkow on June 19, 2012 and addressed to Mary Kay Kleinpeter?Zamora, Chief Procurement Officer and Mr. Square. The purpose of the email is to ask more questions to the three vendors in the areas of: 1. Integration Analysis Related 2. Minimum Quali?cations Related 3. Revenue Pro '1 ect Related 4. Best and Final Pricing Related 5. Revenue Guarantee I firmly believe that the questions have been answered in the initial responses by the vendors and during the interview process. In addition, the request to allow for reference checks to be conducted is a step backward as both Ms. Kleinpeter-Zamora and I have conducted extensive reference checks in cities that the vendor?s themselves have identified. I don?t concur with asking for Revenue Guarantees. I cite as an example the City of Atlanta, where these guarantees were written into their contract and which created such uproar by the citizens that Atlanta had to impose a parking enforcement moratorium from May to June of 2010. This resulted in litigation, Atlanta City Council action, and the City having to change its business rules. Role of Non-Committee Members: However, I am deeply disturbed by the fact that point which stipulates going back to the vendor and asking for a ?Best and Final Price? as this may be illegal and in violation of Section 11 as stipulated above in that the committee already has responses from all vendors as to their pricing. In my long tenure as a DPW employee and with all my previous experience as Parking Administrator I have never found one instance where a vendor, once submitted pricing, has been allowed to go back and resubmit a different amount. This, in my opinion, is a violation of the Executive Order as written ?it is in the interest of the City to create a precass that is open. honest, fair, transparent, just and inclusive?. In addition, it sends a message to our citizens that is not in line with ?it is (in the) interest of the City to create a process that increases public confidence in the City's procurement procedures and provides safeguards for the maintenance of a procurement system of quality and integrity?. The last point that I ask for clarification is to outline Mr. Square?s and Mr. Kurkow?s role. They have been acting in the role of Selection Committee members throughout the complete RFP process. Specifically will they continue to operate as appointed members of the committee which is not pursuant to Executive order MJL 10-05? As the process has evolved the scape of Mr. Square?s and Kurkow?s roles have exponentially increased. At the beginning they were appointed by First Deputy Mayor, Andy Kopplin to spearhead a Technical review Committee only. Subsequently and currently these two individuals are acting as de-facto Selection Committee Members with all the rights and duties that the appointed committee members have. I find this highly questionable. It is apparent that the direction that this committee is taking is being unduly in?uenced by these two non-voting members. ?a Conclusion: Col. Jemigan, I have deep concerns as to why it has taken this long to finalize the RFP process and to award this contract to the most qualified vendor. It is now almost July and I see no resolution in the near future. If I may point out, the result of a new contract not being in place continues to have a negative impact on the Parking Division. We are working with outdated equipment which does not have the capability of integration. This important feature will be resolved once the contract is awarded to the most qualified vendor. The new contract will streamline the adjudication process and will greatly reduce the inordinate amount of citizen complaints that the Administrative Hearing Center documents and handles daily. Thank you again for affording me this opportunity to be a member of this august group of individuals. I look forward to sharing my knowledge and expertise as a Parking Industry Professional in a way that is most beneficial to the Department of Public Works and the City of New Orleans.

EDMONDS, PARKING ADMINISTRATOR FROM: JORGE A HERNANDEZ, PARKING OPERATIONS ANALYST RE: PRICING MATRIX DISCUSSION On Wednesday, July 11, 2012 a meeting was held to review the revised pricing matrix relative to the Curbside Management RFP. Attendees: Mark Jernigan, Lt. Col. Director DPW Zepporiah Edmonds, Parking Administrator Mary Kay Kleinpeter?Zamora, CPO Allen Square, Innovation Manager Jorge Hernandez, Parking Operations Analyst Ed Kerkow, Innovation Background information: On Monday, July 9, 2012 at Mr. Square?s request, you and I had a discussion with him relative to his revisions to the RFP pricing matrix. We expressed our concerns regarding some assumptions made that we believed that were con?icting. Especially as one vendor was given credit for revenue generated by 5 boot crews while the other two vendors did not. This skewed the results in an unfair manner. In addition, we discussed and clarified other assumptions. Meeting Notes: The meeting was held at 4:00 PM in the conference room on the 4th floor of City Hall. Mr. Square started the meeting by explaining that we Weren?t gathered to review the revisions to the pricing matrix. He said to Dr. Jernigan that he wanted clari?cation as to what the next steps in the process should be. Mr. Jemigan said that a meeting of the Selection Committee would be scheduled by Ms. Kleinpeter-Zamora so that the vendors could be ?racked and stacked?. Vendor Rankings: You told the panel that the vendors were ranked by the Selection Committee back on June18th. MS. Kleinpeter-Zamora, Mr. Square and Mr. Kerkow disagreed that the vendors had already been ranked. You reminded all present that at that meeting Norman Foster had made a motion to rank Standard Parking ?rst, ACS second and Duncan Solutions third. You had seconded the motion. However, the motion was interrupted by Mr. Kerkow?s objection citing concerns for minimum quali?cations. Mr. Kopplin then had commented that he didn?t have an issue ranking the vendors but wanted to goon record that he be allowed to change his vote on the ranking if T-2 was found to not meet the minimum quali?cations. At this point, Ms. Kleinpeter?Zamora agreed that she remembered the incident as you described it. I informed the panel that Duncan Solutions uses T-2 in Houston. Mr. Square recommended to Director Jernigan that once the vendors were ranked then all three vendors should be asked to submit a ?Best and Final Offer?. You objected and cited Executive Order MJL 10-05 Section 11; Contract Negotiation which speci?cally states that any contract can be only be negotiated once a vendor has been selected. Ms. Kleinpeter?Zamora said that she had read the Executive Order on a number of occasions and discussed it with Mike Sherman. She and Mr. Sherman agreed that the language did not prohibit the Committee from asking the three vendors to submit a BFO. You challenged the findings. Ms. Kleinpeter-Zarnora moved to the methodology for rating the vendors. In the RFP a percentage system is proscribed. However, she said that Mr. Kopplin had changed it to a qualitative system where the vendors are rated highly advantageous, advantageous and not advantageous. You responded that the vendors responded according to the RFP and they were under the assumption that they would be rated by the percentage system. You questioned the fairness of changing the rating system at this late point in the RFP process. However, Ms. Kleinpeter-Zarnora said that ?Mr. Kopplin what he wants?. There was no further discussion. Of?ce of the Inspector General Discussion: Mr. Square mentioned that the process was under investigation by the OIG. You agreed; then you showed the panel a letter that the Of?ce of the Inspector General had given you on June 15 and copied Andy Kopplin and Mr. Square. The letter instructed you to release all documentation including emails to a select number of recipients. Among these were Andy Kopplin, Cedric Grant, Mr. emigan, Mr. Square, Mr. Kerkow and Ms. Kleinpeter? Zamora. You mentioned that the OIG was concerned about the length of the selection process. Mr. Square said that that had nothing to do with it but that the OIG became involved when ?someone complained to them?. Revenue Concerns: You and I brought up concerns about including revenue in the revised pricing matrix. Mr. Square said that ?his parking Expert, Ed Kerkow? wanted to include revenue guarantees. You told him that as an Industry and Subject Matter Expert you had research that showed that this was a bad idea. You cited as an example the City of Atlanta which had guaranteed revenues in their new contract. Due to issues with aggressive enforcement in place to meet the revenue guarantees Atlanta stopped enforcing existing regulations from May 2010 to June 2010. The City was then forced to change its business model, rewrite city ordinances and go through litigation. In addition, they incurred much ill will by the citizens.

All of these unfounded characterizations impugn. my Character, integrity, professional career and. work ethics.
