BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
PASS -AROUND REVIEW
PASS -AROUND TITLE: Change of Vendor and Related New Contract — Strategic Plan
DEPARTMENT: Finance DATE: 10/10/2023
PERSON REQUESTING: Ryan Rose and Cheryl Pattelli
Brief description of the problem/issue:
The County contracted with BerryDunn to assist with the work on our strategic plan in Spring 2022. Shannon Flowers, our lead
consultant, recently left BerryDunn and started her own consulting company, Stratalysts. Shannon has done an outstanding job for the
county and has built excellent rapport with the project team, BOCC, and department heads. Because of Shannon's knowledge and the
consistency she brings to the project, we are recommending we continue with Shannon and Stratalysts. We spoke to BerryDunn and
they agree that we are at a good point in the project to make this transition.
What options exist for the Board?
Consequences: The Board can continue working with BerryDunn. If the Board chooses to do this, we would be assigned
a new consultant who would need to get up -to -speed with the project.
Impacts: If we continue with BerryDunn we would lose the knowledge Shannon has gained about the County and its
operations along with the positive relationships she has built over the past year and a half.
Costs (Current Fiscal Year / Ongoing or Subsequent Fiscal Years): The original contract with BerryDunn
was for $70,000. There is currently $6,379 remaining in that contract. The quote received from Shannon (Stratalysts) totals $13,825, a
$7,446 increase over our contract with BerryDunn. As part of the new quote, we asked Shannon to include any additional services
above BerryDunn's contract that she felt would benefit the project's success. Shannon included additional staff work sessions ($3,500)
and budget alignment support ($4,200) with her quote. After discussing with Shannon, we think both would be useful and help further
engage staff and embed the plan into the budgeting process. The additional cost can be covered through vacancy and other savings in
Finance.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends ending the contract with BerryDunn and continuing work with Shannon Flowers and Stratalysts. Staff recommends
moving the contract with Stratalysts to an upcoming BOCC meeting for consideration.

PROFESSIONAL SERVICE AGREEMENT BETWEEN WELD COUNTY AND
STRATALYSTS
THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into this tay of October, 2023, by and
between the Board of Weld County Commissioners, on behalf of Finance and Administration
Department, hereinafter referred to as "County," and Stratalysts, hereinafter referred to as
"Contractor".
WHEREAS, County desires to retain Contractor to perform services as required by County
and set forth in the attached Exhibits; and
WHEREAS, Contractor is willing and has the specific ability, qualifications, and time to
perform the required services according to the terms of this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, Contractor is authorized to do business in the State of Colorado and has the
time, skill, expertise, and experience necessary to provide the services as set forth below.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained
herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Introduction. The terms of this Agreement are contained in the terms recited in this
document and in the attached Exhibits, each of which forms an integral part of this Agreement and
are incorporated herein. The parties each acknowledge and agree that this Agreement, including
the attached Exhibits, define the performance obligations of Contractor and Contractor's
willingness and ability to meet those requirements (the "Work"). If a conflict occurs between this
Agreement and any Exhibit or other attached document, the terms of this Agreement shall control,
and the remaining order of precedence shall based upon order of attachment.
Exhibit A consists of the quote for services received from Statalysts
2. Service or Work. Contractor agrees to procure the materials, equipment and/or
products necessary for the Work and agrees to diligently provide all services, labor, personnel and
materials necessary to perform and complete the Work described in the attached Exhibits.
Contractor shall further be responsible for the timely completion and acknowledges that a failure
to comply with the standards and requirements of Work within the time limits prescribed by
County may result in County's decision to withhold payment or to terminate this Agreement.
3. Term. The term of this Agreement begins upon the date of the mutual execution
of this Agreement and shall continue through and until Contractor's completion of the
responsibilities described in the attached Exhibits. Both of the parties to this Agreement
understand and agree that the laws of the State of Colorado prohibit County from entering into
Agreements which bind County for periods longer than one year. This Agreement may be
extended upon mutual written agreement of the Parties.
4. Termination; Breach; Cure. County may terminate this Agreement for its own
convenience upon thirty (30) days written notice to Contractor. Either Party may immediately
terminate this Agreement upon material breach of the other party, however the breaching party
shall have fifteen (15) days after receiving such notice to cure such breach. Upon termination,
County shall take possession of all materials, equipment, tools and facilities owned by County
which Contractor is using, by whatever method it deems expedient; and, Contractor shall deliver
to County all drawings, drafts, or other documents it has completed or partially completed under
this Agreement, together with all other items, materials and documents which have been paid for
by County, and these items, materials and documents shall be the property of County. Copies of
work product that is incomplete at the time of termination shall be marked "DRAFT -
INCOMPLETE." If this Agreement is terminated by County, Contractor shall be compensated for,
and such compensation shall be limited to, (1) the sum of the amounts contained in invoices which
it has submitted and which have been approved by the County; (2) the reasonable value to County
of the services which Contractor provided prior to the date of the termination notice, but which
had not yet been approved for payment; and (3) the cost of any work which the County approves
in writing which it determines is needed to accomplish an orderly termination of the work. County
shall be entitled to the use of all material generated pursuant to this Agreement upon termination.
Upon termination of this Agreement by County, Contractor shall have no claim of any kind
whatsoever against the County by reason of such termination or by reason of any act incidental
thereto, except for compensation for work satisfactorily performed and/or materials described
herein properly delivered.
5. Extension or Amendment. Any amendments or modifications to this agreement shall be
in writing signed by both parties. No additional services or work performed by Contractor shall be
the basis for additional compensation unless and until Contractor has obtained written
authorization and acknowledgement by County for such additional services. Accordingly, no
claim that the County has been unjustly enriched by any additional services, whether or not there
is in fact any such unjust enrichment, shall be the basis of any increase in the compensation payable
hereunder. In the event that written authorization and acknowledgment by the County for such
additional services is not timely executed and issued in strict accordance with this Agreement,
Contractor's rights with respect to such additional services shall be deemed waived and such
failure shall result in non-payment for such additional services or work performed. In the event
the County shall require changes in the scope, character, or complexity of the work to be
performed, and said changes cause an increase or decrease in the time required or the costs to the
Contractor for performance, an equitable adjustment in fees and completion time shall be
negotiated between the parties and this Agreement shall be modified accordingly by Change Order.
Any claims by the Contractor for adjustment hereunder must be made in writing prior to
performance of any work covered in the anticipated Change Order, unless approved and
documented otherwise by the County Representative. Any change in work made without such
prior Change Order shall be deemed covered in the compensation and time provisions of this
Agreement, unless approved and documented otherwise by the County Representative.
6. Compensation. Upon Contractor's successful completion of the Work, and
County's acceptance of the same, County agrees to pay Contractor an amount not to exceed
$13,825as set forth in the Exhibit. No payment in excess of that set forth in the Exhibit will be
made by County unless a Change Order authorizing such additional payment has been specifically
approved by Weld County as required pursuant to the Weld County Code. If, at any time during
2
the term or after termination or expiration of this Agreement, County reasonably determines that
any payment made by County to Contractor was improper because the service for which payment
was made did not perform as set forth in this Agreement, then upon written notice of such
determination and request for reimbursement from County, Contractor shall forthwith return such
payment(s) to County. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, unexpended funds
advanced by County, if any, shall forthwith be returned to County. County will not withhold any
taxes from monies paid to the Contractor hereunder and Contractor agrees to be solely responsible
for the accurate reporting and payment of any taxes related to payments made pursuant to the terms
of this Agreement. Unless expressly enumerated in the attached Exhibits, Contractor shall not be
entitled to be paid for any other expenses (e.g. mileage). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, County shall have no obligations under this Agreement after, nor
shall any payments be made to Contractor in respect of any period after December 31 of any year,
without an appropriation therefore by County in accordance with a budget adopted by the Board
of County Commissioners in compliance with Article 25, Title 30 of the Colorado Revised
Statutes, the Local Government Budget Law (C.R.S. 29-1-101 et. seq.) and the TABOR
Amendment (Colorado Constitution, Article X, Sec. 20).
7. Independent Contractor. Contractor agrees that it is an independent contractor and
that Contractor's officers, agents or employees will not become employees of County, nor entitled
to any employee benefits (including unemployment insurance or workers' compensation benefits)
from County as a result of the execution of this Agreement. Contractor shall be solely responsible
for its acts and those of its agents and employees for all acts performed pursuant to this Agreement.
8. Subcontractors. Contractor acknowledges that County has entered into this
Agreement in reliance upon the particular reputation and expertise of Contractor. Contractor shall
not enter into any subcontractor agreements for the completion of the Work without County's prior
written consent, which may be withheld in County's sole discretion. County shall have the right
in its reasonable discretion to approve all personnel assigned to the Work during the performance
of this Agreement and no personnel to whom County has an objection, in its reasonable discretion,
shall be assigned to the Work. Contractor shall require each subcontractor, as approved by County
and to the extent of the Work to be performed by the subcontractor, to be bound to Contractor by
the terms of this Agreement, and to assume toward Contractor all the obligations and
responsibilities which Contractor, by this Agreement, assumes toward County. County shall have
the right (but not the obligation) to enforce the provisions of this Agreement against any
subcontractor hired by Contractor and Contractor shall cooperate in such process. The Contractor
shall be responsible for the acts and omissions of its agents, employees and subcontractors.
9. Ownership. All work and information obtained by Contractor under this Agreement or
individual work order shall become or remain (as applicable), the property of County. In addition,
all reports, documents, data, plans, drawings, records and computer files generated by Contractor
in relation to this Agreement and all reports, test results and all other tangible materials obtained
and/or produced in connection with the performance of this Agreement, whether or not such
materials are in completed form, shall at all times be considered the property of the County.
Contractor shall not make use of such material for purposes other than in connection with this
Agreement without prior written approval of County.
3
10. Confidentiality. Confidential information of the Contractor should be transmitted
separately from non -confidential information, clearly denoting in red on the relevant document at
the top the word, "CONFIDENTIAL." However, Contractor is advised that as a public entity,
Weld County must comply with the provisions of the Colorado Open Records Act (CORA), C.R.S.
24-72-201, et seq., with regard to public records, and cannot guarantee the confidentiality of all
documents. Contractor agrees to keep confidential all of County's confidential information.
Contractor agrees not to sell, assign, distribute, or disclose any such confidential information to
any other person or entity without seeking written permission from the County. Contractor agrees
to advise its employees, agents, and consultants, of the confidential and proprietary nature of this
confidential information and of the restrictions imposed by this Agreement.
11. Warranty. Contractor warrants that the Work performed under this Agreement will be
performed in a manner consistent with the standards governing such services and the provisions
of this Agreement. Contractor further represents and warrants that all Work shall be performed by
qualified personnel in a professional manner, consistent with industry standards, and that all
services will conform to applicable specifications. For work in which Contractor produces a
design to be used for construction purposes, Contractor shall carefully check all unit quantities
and quantity calculations and shall submit them for County review. If the County experiences
additional costs during project construction which are directly associated with errors and
omissions (professional negligence) which require change orders to the construction contract
resulting in costs greater than the construction contract bid unit costs, Contractor shall be
financially liable for such increased costs.
12. Acceptance of Services Not a Waiver. Upon completion of the Work, Contractor
shall submit to County originals of all test results, reports, etc., generated during completion of
this work. Acceptance by County of reports and incidental material(s) furnished under this
Agreement shall not in any way relieve Contractor of responsibility for the quality and accuracy
of the project. In no event shall any action by County hereunder constitute or be construed to be
a waiver by County of any breach of this Agreement or default which may then exist on the part
of Contractor, and County's action or inaction when any such breach or default exists shall not
impair or prejudice any right or remedy available to County with respect to such breach or default.
No assent, expressed or implied, to any breach of any one or more covenants, provisions or
conditions of the Agreement shall be deemed or taken to be a waiver of any other breach.
Acceptance by the County of, or payment for, the Work completed under this Agreement shall not
be construed as a waiver of any of the County's rights under this Agreement or under the law
generally.
13. Insurance. Contractor must secure, before the commencement of the Work, the
following insurance covering all operations, goods, and services provided pursuant to this
Agreement, and shall keep the required insurance coverage in force at all times during the term of
the Agreement, or any extension thereof, and during any warranty period. For all coverages,
Contractor's insurer shall waive subrogation rights against County.
a. Types of Insurance.
Workers' Compensation / Employer's Liability Insurance as required by state statute,
covering all of the Contractor's employees acting within the course and scope of their
4
employment. The policy shall contain a waiver of subrogation against the County. This
requirement shall not apply when a Contractor or subcontractor is exempt under Colorado
Workers' Compensation Act., AND when such Contractor or subcontractor executes the
appropriate sole proprietor waiver form.
Commercial General Liability Insurance including public liability and property damage,
covering all operations required by the Work. Such policy shall include minimum limits as
follows: $1,000,000 each occurrence; $1,000,000 general aggregate; $1,000,000 Personal
injury $5,000; Medical payment per person.
Automobile Liability Insurance: Contractor shall maintain limits of $1,000,000 for bodily
injury per person, $1,000,000 for bodily injury for each accident, and $1,000,000 for property
damage applicable to all vehicles operating both on County property and elsewhere, for
vehicles owned, hired, and non -owned vehicles used in the performance of this Contract.
Professional Liability (Errors and Omissions Liability). The policy shall cover
professional misconduct or lack of ordinary skill for those positions defined in the Scope
of Services of this contract. Contractor shall maintain limits for all claims covering
wrongful acts, errors and/or omissions, including design errors, if applicable, for damage
sustained by reason of or in the course of operations under this Contract resulting from
professional services. In the event that the professional liability insurance required by this
Contract is written on a claims -made basis, Contractor warrants that any retroactive date
under the policy shall precede the effective date of this Contract; and that either continuous
coverage will be maintained or an extended discovery period will be exercised for a period
of two (2) years beginning at the time work under this Contract is completed. Minimum
Limits: $1,000,000 Per Loss; $2,000,000 Aggregate.

certificate of insurance, a policy, or other proof of insurance as determined in County's

services under this Agreement have or will have the above described insurance prior to

policies to the minimum limits as required herein. Contractor agrees to provide proof of
insurance for all such subcontractors upon request by the County.
d. No limitation of Liability. The insurance coverages specified in this Agreement are the
minimum requirements, and these requirements do not decrease or limit the liability of
Contractor. The County in no way warrants that the minimum limits contained herein are
sufficient to protect the Contractor from liabilities that might arise out of the performance
of the Work under by the Contractor, its agents, representatives, employees, or
subcontractors. The Contractor shall assess its own risks and if it deems appropriate and/or
prudent, maintain higher limits and/or broader coverages. The Contractor is not relieved
5
of any liability or other obligations assumed or pursuant to the Contract by reason of its
failure to obtain or maintain insurance in sufficient amounts, duration, or types. The
Contractor shall maintain, at its own expense, any additional kinds or amounts of insurance
that it may deem necessary to cover its obligations and liabilities under this Agreement.
e. Certification of Compliance with Insurance Requirements. The Contractor stipulates that
it has met the insurance requirements identified herein. The Contractor shall be responsible
for the professional quality, technical accuracy, and quantity of all services provided, the
timely delivery of said services, and the coordination of all services rendered by the
Contractor and shall, without additional compensation, promptly remedy and correct any
errors, omissions, or other deficiencies.
14. Indemnity. The Contractor shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless County, its
officers, agents, and employees, from and against any and all injury, loss, damage, liability, suits,
actions, claims, or willful acts or omissions of any type or character arising out of the Work done
in fulfillment of the terms of this Agreement or on account of any act, claim or amount arising or
recovered under workers' compensation law or arising out of the failure of the Contractor to
conform to any statutes, ordinances, regulation, judicial decision, or other law or court decree. The
Contractor shall be fully responsible and liable for any and all injuries or damage received or
sustained by any person, persons, or property on account of its performance under this Agreement
or its failure to comply with the provisions of the Agreement. It is agreed that the Contractor will
be responsible for primary loss investigation, defense and judgment costs where this contract of
indemnity applies. In consideration of the award of this contract, the Contractor agrees to waive
all rights of subrogation against the County its associated and/or affiliated entities, successors, or
assigns, its elected officials, trustees, employees, agents, and volunteers for losses arising from the
work performed by the Contractor for the County. A failure to comply with this provision shall
result in County's right to immediately terminate this Agreement.
15. Non -Assignment. Contractor may not assign or transfer this Agreement or any interest
therein or claim thereunder, without the prior written approval of County. Any attempts by
Contractor to assign or transfer its rights hereunder without such prior approval by County shall,
at the option of County, automatically terminate this Agreement and all rights of Contractor
hereunder. Such consent may be granted or denied at the sole and absolute discretion of County.
16. Examination of Records. To the extent required by law, the Contractor agrees that an
duly authorized representative of County, including the County Auditor, shall have access to and
the right to examine and audit any books, documents, papers and records of Contractor, involving
all matters and/or transactions related to this Agreement. Contractor agrees to maintain these
documents for three years from the date of the last payment received.
17. Interruptions. Neither party to this Agreement shall be liable to the other for delays
in delivery or failure to deliver or otherwise to perform any obligation under this Agreement, where
such failure is due to any cause beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to Acts of
God, fires, strikes, war, flood, earthquakes or Governmental actions.
18. Notices. County may designate, prior to commencement of Work, its project
6
representative ("County Representative") who shall make, within the scope of his or her authority,
