Dear Pamela:
It was nice speaking with you yesterday at the CCAC conference. As promised, here is some background information as well as a proposal for our e-filing and administration systems for both the Campaign Disclosure filings as well as the Form 700 filings.
How NetFile Works
NetFile is a hosted solution that provides you with an extremely affordable solution that will enable you to paperlessly electronically file both Campaign Statements and Form 700 filings.
No IT involvement is required. You don't have to waste time or effort or risk a breach of your own servers by hosting yourself.
Who Uses NetFile
NetFile's 700 system is currently being used over 50 local government agencies in CA. For our Campaign Disclosure system, we currently have almost 50 local government agencies using us. In Northern CA alone our City clients include, Berkeley, Chico, Cotati, Fresno, Hayward, Livermore, Manteca, Oakland, Palo Alto, Patterson, Pleasanton, Sacramento, Salinas, San Francisco, San Jose, San Leandro, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, Santa Rosa, Sunnyvale, West Sacramento, and Yountville.
Cost information
NetFile does not charge any costs upfront. No setup fees to worry about. Our ongoing quarterly fee includes everything (unlimited training, support, maintenance). All form changes and system updates are included as well. Don't be fooled with false economics showing software you own is less expensive. If you buy software and want to compare with our service, you need to add all the hidden costs you have for IT labor, hardware to run the software, bandwidth to host the product online, and all the extra IT time to apply security updates and patches.
The costs for the systems for your city would be as follows:
700 System: $1,500/quarter*** ongoing for up to 350 filers. This system includes your admin portal (allowing you to automate letters and generate status reports), filer portal (where the filer creates and electronically files their documents), industry exclusive mobile device filer platform, industry exclusive public viewing portal (this automatically shows the redacted filing online without you having to scan or upload documents), and a private viewing portal (we can lock down any number of computers you wish in your office that you can point the public to search unredacted documents). All the interested party has to do is pick the filing they want and if they want a hard copy, click on the print button that would print to one of your printers behind your counter. All staff has to do is charge the per copy document fee! NetFile even pays for your FPPC $1,000 paperless application fee. This fee will cover the City for up to 5 years or until the FPPC deems there is any major software change. No matter what, NetFile will pay the fee.
Campaign System: $2,500/quarter*** ongoing. This system includes all the same features as the SEI system above.
***Because of our sponsorship of the CCAC, we can offer you special pricing. If you take both systems, we can discount the Campaign System down to $1,750/quarter for up to 5 years.
All of our contracts offer 30 day out clauses for any reason so if you don't want to use it you don't have to. This gives you peace of mind. The good news is we have never had anyone take us up on that.
How Long Does it Take to Setup?
Currently our lead time is 2 weeks to set up a new agency. This is subject to change.
The NetFile Difference
As mentioned above, NetFile has no competition for the Campaign Disclosure system. Our company is the only vendor who has software meeting the criteria of paperless electronic filing in the State of California. If any vendor tells you otherwise, ask them what agency of theirs have paperlessly filed a campaign statement. An agency can sole source our product based on this alone! The City of San Diego made history with this system having the first ever paperless campaign statement filed on January 22, 2013. Since then, we have had approximately half of our agencies change their local campaign ordinance to reflect the paperless filing being the filing of record. That is all you have to do! I can send you samples of other Cities ordinances so you don't have to reinvent the wheel for your ordinance. Again, NetFile is the only company that offers a paperless solution for local government for Campaign Statement Filings! For Statements of Economic Interests, NetFile leads the way. Starting the end of 2006 for the County of San Bernardino as well as the Cities of Anaheim and San Diego, NetFile beat the competition to the market by 2 years. In addition to that, NetFile currently has over 50 local government clients in CA using this system! For Cities alone, NetFile has twice as many City clients as the competition! We currently have 51 of our agencies approved paperless with more on the way. NetFile has industry exclusive features for the 700 SEI system as well (no other company gives you a public viewing portal that automatically shows redacted filings plus no other company has mobile applications for filers to use).
One of the most important advantages with NetFile is all your revenue spent with NetFile stays in CA. NetFile is proud of the fact we are 100% based in CA. The competition can't say that given they outsource services overseas. If you need any additional information, just let me know.
Best regards,
Tom Diebert
Vice President, NetFile

(b) If this Contract is not a contract for design professional services subject to California Civil Code Section 2782.8(a) or Contractor is not a design professional as defined in California Civil Code Section 2782.8(b)(2), Contractor shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the City, its officers, agents, employees and volunteers from any and all claims, suits, or actions of every name, kind and description, brought forth on account of injuries to or death of any person or damage to property arising from or connected with the willful misconduct, negligent acts, errors or omissions, ultra-hazardous activities, activities giving rise to strict liability, or defects in design by Contractor or any person directly or indirectly employed by, or acting as, the agent for Contractor in the performance of this Contract, including the concurrent or successive passive negligence of the City, its officers, agents, employees or volunteers.
(c) It is understood that the duty of Contractor to indemnify and hold harmless includes the duty to defend as set forth in Section 2778 of the California Civil Code. Contractor shall be obligated to defend, in all legal, equitable, administrative, or special proceedings, with counsel approved by the City, the City and its officers, agents, employees, and volunteers, immediately upon tender to Contractor of the claim in any form or at any stage of an action or proceeding, whether or not liability is established. An allegation or determination that persons other than Contractor are responsible for the claim does not relieve Contractor from its separate and distinct obligation to defend under this Section 15. The obligation to defend extends through final judgment, including exhaustion of any appeals. The defense obligation includes an obligation to provide independent counsel if Contractor asserts that liability is caused in whole, or in part, by the negligence or willful misconduct of an indemnified party. (d) The review, acceptance or approval of the Contractor's work or work product by any indemnified party shall not affect, relieve or reduce the Contractor's indemnification or defense obligations. This Section 15 survives completion of the services or the termination of this Contract.
The provisions of this Section 15 are not limited by, and do not affect, the provisions of this Contract relating to insurance.
(e) Acceptance of insurance certificates and endorsements required under this Contract does not relieve Contractor from liability under this Section
15. This Section 15 shall apply whether or not such insurance policies are determined to be applicable to any such damages or claims for damages.
16. Safety. Contractor acknowledges that the City is committed to the highest standards of workplace safety. Contractor shall perform all work hereunder in full compliance with applicable local, state and federal safety requirements including but not limited to Occupational Safety and Health Administration requirements, and shall assume sole and complete General Conditions/EJ/TE 01-19-11 7 of 13
responsibility for the safety of Contractor's employees and any subContractor's employees. If a death, serious personal injury or substantial property damage occurs in connection with the performance of this Contract, Contractor shall immediately notify the City by telephone.
17. Insurance. Insurance requirements are set forth in Exhibit F to this Contract. Contractor shall abide by the insurance requirements set forth in said Exhibit F.
18. Non-Liability of Officials and Employees of the City. No official or employee of the City shall be personally liable for any default or liability under this Contract.
19. Compliance with Laws. Contractor shall comply with all federal, state and local laws, statutes, ordinances, rules and regulations, and the orders and decrees of any courts or administrative bodies or tribunals, with respect to this Contract, including without limitation environmental laws, employment discrimination laws and prevailing wage laws. Compliance under this provision includes compliance with all provisions of the Richmond Municipal Code ("Municipal Code"), including Chapters 2.50, 2.52, 2.56, and 2.60, if applicable.
Contractor acknowledges that under § 2.60.070 of the Municipal Code ("Living Wage Ordinance"), Contractor shall promptly provide to City documents and information verifying its compliance with the Living Wage Ordinance. Also as prescribed in § 2.60.070, Contractor shall notify each of its affected employees with regards to the wages that are required to be paid pursuant to the Living Wage Ordinance.
Contractor shall comply with § 2.28.030 of the Municipal Code, obligating every Contractor or subcontractor under a contract or subcontract with the City for public work or for goods or for services to refrain from discriminatory employment or subcontracting practices on the basis of race, color, sex, sexual orientation, religious creed, national origin or ancestry of any employee, any applicant for employment or any potential subcontractor.
Contractor acknowledges that the City's Drug Free Workplace Policy, Violence in the Workplace Policy and the Policy Against Workplace Harassment, are available on the City's website at
http://www.ci.richmond.ca.us/workplacepolicies. Contractor agrees to abide by the terms and conditions of said policies.
20. Limitations upon Subcontracting and Assignment. This Contract binds the heirs, successors, assigns and representatives of Contractor. The Contractor shall not enter into subcontracts for any work contemplated General Conditions/EJ/TE 01-19-11 8 of 13
under this Contract and shall not assign this Contract, nor any portion hereof or monies due or to become due, without the prior written consent of the City Council or its designee.
Contractor acknowledges that the services which Contractor shall provide under this Contract are unique, personal services which, except as otherwise provided herein, Contractor shall not assign or sublet to any other party without the prior written approval of City, which approval may be withheld in City's sole and absolute discretion. In the event that City, in writing, approves any assignment or subletting of this Contract or the retention of subcontractors by Contractor, Contractor shall provide to City upon request copies of each and every subcontract contract prior to the execution thereof by Contractor and subcontractor. Any assignment by Contractor of any or all of its rights under this Contract without first obtaining City's prior written consent shall be a default under this Contract.
The sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition of any of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Contractor (if applicable), or of the interest of any general partner or joint venturer or syndicate member if Contractor is a partnership or joint-venture or syndicate, which shall result in a change of control of Contractor, shall be deemed an assignment. For this purpose, control shall mean fifty percent or more of the voting power or twenty-five percent or more of the assets of the corporation, partnership or joint-venture.

24. Non-exclusivity. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the services provided by Contractor hereunder shall be non-exclusive, and General Conditions/EJ/TE 01-19-11 9 of 13
City reserves the right to employ other Contractors in connection with the project.

All Exhibits hereto are made a part hereof and incorporated herein by reference; provided, however, that any language in Exhibit A which does not pertain to the project description, proposal, scope of services, or method of compensation (as applicable), or any corresponding responsibilities of City, shall be deemed extraneous to, and not a part of, this Contract.
26. Force Majeure. Neither party hereto shall be considered in default in the performance of its obligations hereunder to the extent that the performance of such an obligation is prevented or delayed by reason of acts of God, strikes, boycotts, lock-outs, inability to procure materials not related to the price thereof, failure of power, restrictive governmental laws and regulations enacted after the date of this Contract, riots, civil unrest, acts of terrorism, insurrection, war, declaration of a state or national emergency or other reasons of a like nature not within the reasonable control of such party.

Richmond, CA 94804
Dear Pamela:
It was nice speaking with you yesterday at the CCAC conference. As promised, here is some background information as well as a proposal for our e-filing and administration systems for both the Campaign Disclosure filings as well as the Form 700 filings.
How NetFile Works
NetFile is a hosted solution that provides you with an extremely affordable solution that will enable you to paperlessly electronically file both Campaign Statements and Form 700 filings.
No IT involvement is required. You don't have to waste time or effort or risk a breach of your own servers by hosting yourself.
Who Uses NetFile
NetFile's 700 system is currently being used over 50 local government agencies in CA. For our Campaign Disclosure system, we currently have almost 50 local government agencies using us. In Northern CA alone our City clients include, Berkeley, Chico, Cotati, Fresno, Hayward, Livermore, Manteca, Oakland, Palo Alto, Patterson, Pleasanton, Sacramento, Salinas, San Francisco, San Jose, San Leandro, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, Santa Rosa, Sunnyvale, West Sacramento, and Yountville.
Cost information
NetFile does not charge any costs upfront. No setup fees to worry about. Our ongoing quarterly fee includes everything (unlimited training, support, maintenance). All form changes and system updates are included as well. Don't be fooled with false economics showing software you own is less expensive. If you buy software and want to compare with our service, you need to add all the hidden costs you have for IT labor, hardware to run the software, bandwidth to host the product online, and all the extra IT time to apply security updates and patches The costs for the systems for your city would be as follows:
700 System: $1,500/quarter*** ongoing for up to 350 filers. This system includes your admin portal (allowing you to automate letters and generate status reports), filer portal (where the filer creates and electronically files their documents), industry exclusive mobile device filer platform, industry exclusive public viewing portal (this automatically shows the redacted filing online without you having to scan or upload documents), and a private viewing portal (we can lock down any number of computers you wish in your office that you can point the public to search unredacted documents). All the interested party has to do is pick the filing they want and if they want a hard copy, click on the print button that would print to one of your printers behind your counter. All staff has to do is charge the per copy document fee! NetFile even pays for your FPPC $1,000 paperless application fee. This fee will cover the City for up to 5 years or until the FPPC deems there is any major software change. No matter what, NetFile will pay the fee.
Campaign System: $2,500/quarter*** ongoing. This system includes all the same features as the SEI system above.
***Because of our sponsorship of the CCAC, we can offer you special pricing. If you take both systems, we can discount the Campaign System down to $1,750/quarter for up to 5 years.
All of our contracts offer 30 day out clauses for any reason so if you don't want to use it you don't have to. This gives you peace of mind. The good news is we have never had anyone take us up on that.
How Long Does it Take to Setup?
Currently our lead time is 2 weeks to set up a new agency. This is subject to change.
The NetFile Difference
As mentioned above, NetFile has no competition for the Campaign Disclosure system. Our company is the only vendor who has software meeting the criteria of paperless electronic filing in the State of California. If any vendor tells you otherwise, ask them what agency of theirs have paperlessly filed a campaign statement. An agency can sole source our product based on this alone! The City of San Diego made history with this system having the first ever paperless campaign statement filed on January 22, 2013. Since then, we have had approximately half of our agencies change their local campaign ordinance to reflect the paperless filing being the filing of record. That is all you have to do! I can send you samples of other Cities ordinances so you don't have to reinvent the wheel for your ordinance. Again, NetFile is the only company that offers a paperless solution for local government for Campaign Statement Filings! For Statements of Economic Interests, NetFile leads the way. Starting the end of 2006 for the County of San Bernardino as well as the Cities of Anaheim and San Diego, NetFile beat the competition to the market by 2 years. In addition to that, NetFile currently has over 50 local government clients in CA using this system! For Cities alone, NetFile has twice as many City clients as the competition! We currently have 51 of our agencies approved paperless with more on the way. NetFile has industry exclusive features for the 700 SEI system as well (no other company gives you a public viewing portal that automatically shows redacted filings plus no other company has mobile applications for filers to use).
One of the most important advantages with NetFile is all your revenue spent with NetFile stays in CA. NetFile is proud of the fact we are 100% based in CA. The competition can't say that given they outsource services overseas. If you need any additional information, just let me know.
Best regards,
Tom Diebert
Vice President, NetFile
