DATE: Thursday, March 11, 2010 SUBMITTED BY: Paul Gibson, CCMT, City Treasurer CONTENTS: 1. Comparison of Banking/Custody RFP Bids 2. Union Bank Banking Services Contract Documents 3. Union Bank Custody Services Contract Documents Recommendation By minute motion, that the Palm Desert City Council: (1) award banking and custody services contracts to Union Bank for a term of five years, with an option to renew for an additional two years; and (2) authorize the City Treasurer to execute said banking and custody services contracts on behalf of the City. Committee Recommendation The Audit, Investment, and Finance Committee, at its February 23, 2010,meeting, voted 11-0 to recommend that the City Council award the City's banking and custody services contracts to Union Bank. Background The City of Palm Desert ("City") issued a Request for Proposals ("RFP") for Banking and Custody Services. The RFP specified a contract term of five years, with an option to renew for an additional two years. The City provided local notice by placing an advertisement in the Desert Sun. Union Bank, Wells Fargo Bank, JPMorgan Chase, Staff Report Award of Banking and Custody Services Contracts March 11, 2010 Page 2 of 3 U.S. Bank, PNC Global Investment Services, and Bank of the West requested a copy of the RFP. Union Bank ("Union") and JPMorgan Chase ("Morgan") submitted completed RFPs to the City within the required timeframe. The other four banks declined to bid (US Bank and Wells Fargo confirmed this in writing). Staff also requested a bid from Bank of America (no response). Union Bank submitted the lowest-cost bid. Union offered banking services for a direct fee of $2,127 per month, and custody services for a minimum annual fee of $4,100. Union also offered a $2,000 retention bonus that could be used to offset service costs. JPMorgan Chase, in contrast, offered banking services for a direct fee of $2,261 per month, and custody services for a minimum annual fee of $30,500. No bonus was offered. Morgan's bid was uncompetitive due to its high cost of custody services. Union Bank is the second-largest and second-oldest bank headquartered in California. Union submitted a reference list of 8 California local agencies (cities, counties, special districts) -- all of which were excellent. Union has 751 local agency clients in California, and holds $3.7 billion of California public funds deposits. JPMorgan Chase is a New York-headquartered bank, and one of the oldest banks in the United States. Morgan offered 5 out-of-state references (Arizona, Utah, Colorado) - - all of which were excellent. Morgan has 2 local agency clients in California, and holds $30 million of California public funds deposits. Union provides custody services for 300 municipal clients, and has a municipal custody asset base of $50 billion. Morgan provides custody services for 227 municipal clients, and has a municipal custody asset base of$12 billion. Union offered more favorable hours for wiring funds, and has a wires services unit in California (same time zone). Morgan's wire services unit is in Florida. The Morgan bank officer who was designated to be the daily relationship contact for the City, was not present during Morgan's interview with the Palm Desert Finance Subcommittee on Banking Services. In contrast, the Union bank officer who is currently the daily relationship contact for the City not only was present during Union's interview with the Subcommittee, but directed the bank's presentation. Morgan failed to sign and guarantee the pricing in its Custody Service Bid. According to the City Attorney, this constituted a non-responsive bid. The Morgan RFP response also contained a surprising number of errors for a bank of its stature. There were no equivalent errors or omissions in Union's RFP response. Staff Report Award of Banking and Custody Services Contracts March 11, 2010 Page 3 of 3 California Government Code Sections 53649 and 53682 authorize local agency treasurers to enter into agreements with depositories concerning the terms and conditions for any public funds that are being deposited. Staff therefore requests that the City Council authorize the City Treasurer to execute all contract documentation with Union Bank for banking and custody services. Fiscal Impact There is no fiscal impact as a result of this action.

CLERK/SECRETARY TO THE GOVERNING BOARD SIGNATURE DATE X Distribution: ORIGINAL—Office Copy DUPLICATE—CCSU TRIPLICATE—Customer FORM 00219(11/98) UnionBank INDEMNITY AND HOLD HARMLESS AG REEMENT This Indemnity and Hold Harmless Agreement("Agreement") is entered into between , ("Customer") and Union Bank, N.A. ("Bank") respecting the duties and liabilities of Customer and Bank in connection with deposit account services performed by Bank. RECITALS A. Customer maintains or will maintain deposit accounts at Bank against which checks, check-warrants, and/or warrants (together or separately,"Items")will be presented to Bank for collection or payment. B. Customer recognizes that it and Bank are exposed to risk of loss resulting from the increasing frequency of Items presented for collection or payment that are counterfeit or bear alterations and/or forged,missing,or unauthorized drawer signatures ("Fraudulent Items"). Due in large part to Bank's use of automated check processing equipment and procedures, and the difficulty of detecting Fraudulent Items, Bank would be unable in most situations to prevent payment of Fraudulent Items if they were presented against Customer's accounts. C. Customer is aware that Bank offers a service in conjunction with Bank's Account Reconcilement services known as "Positive Pay". Utilizing Positive Pay Plan 1, Customer provides Bank with lists of issued Items against which Bank may compare Items presented for payment. Under Positive Pay Plan 2, Customer does not submit issue information. While both Positive Pay plans substantially reduce the risk arising form the payment of Fraudulent Items, Plan 2 does not protect against Fraudulent Items that are cashed at a banking office and for that reason Bank recommends selection of Plan 1. D. Bank is unwilling to provide deposit account services to Customer without receiving the assurances set forth below. Based on the foregoing, and in consideration of the deposit account services to be performed by Bank, Customer and Bank agree as follows: 1. Customer acknowledges that if Customer does not choose to subscribe to either Positive Pay Plan 1 or Plan 2, and except as may be attributable to Bank's lack of good faith or failure to exercise ordinary care,Customer knowingly assumes the risk of loss associated with Fraudulent Items and agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Bank, its officers, employees, agents, successors and assigns, from and against any and all liability, loss or damage to which it may be subjected by reason of Bank's payment of Fraudulent Items. 2. If Customer does not choose to subscribe to Positive Plan 1, and except as may be attributable to Bank's lack of good faith or failure to exercise ordinary care, Customer assumes the risk of loss associated with Bank's payment of Fraudulent Items presented for payment over-the-counter at a banking office and agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Bank, its officers, employees, agents,successors and assigns,from and against any and all liability, loss or damage to which it may be subjected by reason of Bank's payment of such over-the-counter Items. 3. In the event of an inconsistency between this Indemnity and Hold Harmless Agreement and the terms and conditions of any other agreement between Bank and Customer regarding the subject matter hereof,this Agreement shall prevail to the extent necessary to avoid the inconsistency. The above is agreed to. Customer Union Bank, N.A.
