SCOPE

The objective of this asset inventory and appraisal services RFP is to select a firm or individual to

perform the following services:

1. Perform a full physical inventory inspection of all of CiTi’s current assets.

2. Provide values appropriate for insurance and property control purposes.

3. Provide values and depreciation amounts required for financial reporting purposes in

compliance with Governmental Accounting Standards Board' s (GASB) Statement # 34.

Pre-project planning

A comprehensive project-planning meeting will be held with the CiTi representatives prior to the

kickoff of the contract and annually throughout the term of the contract. Topics of discussion

include confirmation of project scope and time frames*, clarification of assets to be verified, the

physical inventory schedule, accessibility to buildings, contact person at each building or location,

and availability and use of purchasing records and CiTi’s inventory management system (RAMI).

This meeting lays the foundation for the methods and procedures used in perpetuating records

upon completion of the inventory and delivery of the reports.

*Contract term begins June 18, 2026. CiTi foresees scheduling a meeting on/around this

date and is seeking for the awarded company to begin the full physical inventory inspection

shortly thereafter.

Schedule of Premises

Included as Exhibit C of this RFP is a Schedule of Premises for CiTi. CiTi will provide the most

updated information to the awarded firm at the project-planning meeting.

Assets to be appraised

Assets to be appraised include, but are not limited to equipment, district vehicles, buildings,

building improvements, site improvements, land, land improvements and infrastructure. Purchase

dates and the original costs, if available, will be provided. The threshold for including assets will be

$500, based on the per unit original cost of the asset. Most assets valued under this threshold will

not be appraised and therefore will not be included in the final appraisal report. Exceptions to this

threshold are as follows: computers/monitors, laptops, computer peripherals such as scanners and

printers, musical instruments, televisions, cameras, audiovisual equipment, video recorders, and

small maintenance equipment. Asset counts that appear on the chart on the following page include

assets at or over the $500 threshold AND also the exception items previously noted.

Fixed Asset Software Utilized by CiTi: RAMI

CiTi purchased RAMI software in December of 2014 and completed the data

import/implementation process by June of 2015. CiTi has continued to maintain records in

this system since that time. The last full physical inventory inspection took place in 2021.
