Approval of a Master Agreement for Independent Contractor Services with Elevator Industries, Inc. for countywide elevator maintenance and as-needed repair services in the amount of $750,000, for the term beginning January 1, 2019 and ending December 31, 2023. 2. Approval of a secondary Master Agreement for Independent Contractor Services with ThyssenKrupp Elevator for countywide elevator maintenance and as-needed repair services in the amount of $750,000, for the term beginning January 1, 2019 and ending December 31, 2023. 3. Authorize the Purchasing Agent to sign the Master Agreements identified above, and any subsequent amendment to the Agreements on behalf of the County. DISCUSSION: The County operates 32 elevators of various capacities, located across many departmental sites throughout the County, which must be serviced regularly to keep them in proper working order. During planned maintenance, technicians test and certify critical components work as required, and make minor repairs if needed. Such work is an integral part of the overall elevator maintenance program for the County, ensuring reliability of the equipment and compliance with state-mandated testing, inspections, and licensing requirements. Historically, the County has obtained such elevator maintenance services by using competitively-bid agreements acquired by the City of Modesto. The most recent of these was approved by the Board of Supervisors on August 24, 2010. This agreement provided services at rates established by the Request for Proposals (RFP) process under RFP No. 0910-08 issued by the City of Modesto, and the resultant agreement approved by the City Council on August 4, 2010. Use of such agreements are commonly referred to as “piggybacking” and is permissible under Government Code § 6502 and § 6508.2, which allow public agencies to jointly exercise any power common to the contracting parties (Tucker Land Co. v. State of California (2001) 94 Cal. App. 4th 1191). In 2015 the City of Modesto conducted RFP 1415-38 for a replacement agreement, resulting in award to the incumbent provider, ThyssenKrupp Elevator on September 22, 2015. The General Services Agency, Purchasing Division (GSA) declined to join the City’s newly-awarded agreement, instead negotiating with the contractor to continue service under the pricing terms of the 2010 agreement on a month-to-month basis while the County sought a more permanent solution. During this time GSA explored several other cooperative agreements that were bid out by other governmental agencies and offered favorable rates, but the County and the contracted elevator firms were unable to come to consensus over the agreement terms. This turn of events ultimately led GSA to take the County’s elevator maintenance business back out to bid on its own, using the County’s terms and conditions for the resultant agreements. GSA competitively procures and maintains countywide Master Agreements for a variety of goods and services, and by combining the needs of multiple County departments, GSA can procure these items at lower rates than would otherwise be possible. In reviewing the County’s elevator maintenance needs, GSA determined that by having multiple consultant teams available to provide elevator maintenance services, it would provide more competitive pricing and a larger pool of technical resources to respond to the County’s various elevator needs. Historically, County departments have relied on one-sole vendor to respond to elevator service calls. In this model, customer service and response times have not been consistent with the County’s expectations. GSA anticipates that by awarding two separate Master Agreements for elevator services, County departments will be able to select the most qualified and experienced firm that best meets the needs for their elevator maintenance. GSA worked with internal County departments to determine their needs and consulted with outside agencies for recommendations on best practices to include in the scope of services. GSA also contacted the Tenth Street Place Joint-Powers Agency (JPA), who asked to be included in the County’s solicitation as alternate bid item, with agreement participation subject to the review and approval of the JPA Board. GSA posted Invitation for Bids (Bid) No. 18-02-BD for Elevator Maintenance and Repair on August 3, 2018, which set forth the scope of work. The Bid notice was sent to 184 companies, and 23 downloaded the Bid documents. Five contractors attended the non- mandatory pre-bid meeting held August 14, 2018. When bidding closed on August 28, 2018, GSA had received responses from three contractors: Company Name Total Bid EnPro Elevator, Inc. (Rancho Cordova, CA) $247,892 Elevator Industries, Inc. (Sacramento, CA) $325,264 ThyssenKrupp Elevator (West Sacramento, CA) $449,900 Upon review of the submittals, GSA disqualified EnPro’s bid as non-responsive for failing to meet the minimum qualification standards set forth in the bid documents, including mandatory licensing and registration requirements, confirmation that the Bidder employ at least one journeyman mechanic with 5 years of experience residing within a 20-mile radius of Modesto, and confirmation of the Bidder’s ability to respond to multiple locations simultaneously. EnPro was given until 5:00 p.m. September 14, 2018 Page 2 of 3 to address the above deficiencies, but did not provide a response until 12:30 p.m. September 20, 2018, and in that late response did not fully address all items noted. GSA determined the remaining two bidders to be both responsive and responsible in all respects. On September 26, 2018, GSA issued a Notice of Intent to Award to both Elevator Industries, Inc., and ThyssenKrupp, and posted such notice online at PublicPurchase.com. No letters of protest were received during the five-day protest period of the bid process. POLICY ISSUE: The County’s purchasing policy requires Board of Supervisors approval for contracts exceeding $100,000, based upon California Government Codes § 25212, et seq, and §25502.5, et seq, which establish the powers of the Board of Supervisors and the Purchasing Agent. FISCAL IMPACT: Based on current usage trends and department budgets, GSA-Purchasing anticipates a combined total of approximately $1,000,000 will be spent during the entire five-year term from January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2023. This estimate is based on historic spending analysis, and includes contingency amounts for as-needed repairs, and for optional participation by the Tenth Street Place JPA. Because it is unknown how many departments will choose to do business with each of the two contractors, GSA has limited both agreements at $750,000 to account for disparities in the rate of selection of one contractor over another. GSA does not expect both agreements to use their full $750,000 amount, but there exists the possibility that one contractor may prove more popular with the departments than the other. Appropriations for department use of the Agreements are requested at the department level and will be addressed during a budget cycle, if needed. BOARD OF SUPERVISORS’ PRIORITY: The recommended actions are consistent with the Boards’ priority of Delivering Efficient Public Services by providing cost-efficient contracted elevator maintenance and repair services to County departments. STAFFING IMPACT: Existing GSA staff will manage the contract for the elevator maintenance and repair services. CONTACT PERSON: Keith D.

  • The Soviet-German Tank Academy at Kama
    The Secret School of War: The Soviet-German Tank Academy at Kama THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Ian Johnson Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2012 Master's Examination Committee: Jennifer Siegel, Advisor Peter Mansoor David Hoffmann Copyright by Ian Ona Johnson 2012 Abstract This paper explores the period of military cooperation between the Weimar Period German Army (the Reichswehr), and the Soviet Union. Between 1922 and 1933, four facilities were built in Russia by the two governments, where a variety of training and technological exercises were conducted. These facilities were particularly focused on advances in chemical and biological weapons, airplanes and tanks. The most influential of the four facilities was the tank testing and training grounds (Panzertruppenschule in the German) built along the Kama River, near Kazan in North- Central Russia. Led by German instructors, the school’s curriculum was based around lectures, war games, and technological testing. Soviet and German students studied and worked side by side; German officers in fact often wore the Soviet uniform while at the school, to show solidarity with their fellow officers. Among the German alumni of the school were many of the most famous practitioners of mobile warfare during the Second World War, such as Guderian, Manstein, Kleist and Model. This system of education proved highly innovative. During seven years of operation, the school produced a number of extremely important technological and tactical innovations. Among the new technologies were a new tank chassis system, superior guns, and - perhaps most importantly- a radio that could function within a tank.

Then it’s normal to play with the skulls of small children and to order a fa- ther to dig a grave for himself and his family.1 In the late nineteenth century, the long-established Krupp family of merchants and industrialists had already emerged as the primary arms provider to Bismarck’s Second Reich, and would continue as the coun- try’s principal munitions supplier through the First World War.

    1274 THE YALE LAW JOURNAL (Vol. 62 Davis's admirable text on administrative law was published by West in the early fall of 1951. Its preface is dated April 1951 and both text and documentation are up to that date. It has 1024 pages, a good bibliography, and a list of about 2,000 cases. It costs $8. The present volume, on the other hand, was published by the same publisher late in 1952 with a preface dated October 1952. But, as stated above, its coverage does not go beyond Septem- ber 1950.6 It has 518 pages, three separate indexes which make it hard to look up anything, no bibliography (hardly any writings, except official ma- terials, of a date later than 1930 are cited anywhere), and it uses but 170 cases, The book costs $12.

In 1948, the Krupp leadership was imprisoned and stripped of its industrial assets upon conviction on charges of spoliation and mistreatment of slave- labor.'

Ogles Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT MCGAHA, RICHARD L., Ph.D, November 2009, History The Politics of Espionage: Nazi Diplomats and Spies in Argentina, 1933-1945 (415 pp.) Director of Dissertation: Norman J.W. Goda This dissertation investigates Nazi Germany’s diplomacy and intelligence- gathering in Argentina from 1933-1945. It does so from three perspectives. This study first explores the rivalries that characterized the bureaucracy in the Third Reich. It argues that those rivalries negatively affected Germany’s diplomatic position in Argentina. The actions of the AO in Argentina in the 1930s were indicative of this trend. This created a fear of fifth-column activity among Latin American governments with large German populations. Second, this study explores the rivalry between the Sicherheitsdienst (Security Service, SD) of the Reichssicherheitshauptamt (Reich Security Main Office, RSHA) and Auswärtiges Amt (Foreign Ministry, AA). It argues that the rivalry between these two organizations in Argentina was part of a larger plan on the part of Amt VI, SS Foreign Intelligence to usurp the functions of the AA.

  • I N T R O D U C T I O N a Nation and a Name
    Copyrighted Material INTRODUCTION A Nation and a Name Alfred Krupp made the name Krupp into a German icon. For him, it was not a coincidence that the dramatic period of expansion of the small enterprise that his father had established in 1811 coincided with the creation of the German Empire. He proudly announced to Wilhelm I, the new emperor, that they were now living in the “steel age.” Kaiser Wilhelm I and Bismarck were both quick to see and confirm the parallels between the new politics and the new business. But the identification between the house of Krupp and the German political order did not stop with the death of Krupp in 1887 or of Wilhelm I in 1888. Krupp’s son, Friedrich Alfred, cultivated an even closer relationship with Wilhelm I’s grandson, Kaiser Wil­ helm II. The new business culture reflected the kaiser’s own search for modernity and greatness. For Adolf Hitler, Krupp was also an icon. In Mein Kampf and again in 1935 at the Nuremberg party rally, Hitler exhorted German youth to be as “quick as a greyhound, as tough as leather, and as hard as Krupp steel.”1 Some people quibbled that Krupp steel was notably resilient (because slightly mal­ leable) rather than hard, but the company liked the anal­ ogy at the time. In 1945 at the International Military Tribunal in Nuremberg, where Gustav Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach was indicted as one of twenty-four major Copyrighted Material INTRODUCTION war criminals, prosecutor Robert Jackson also used Krupp as a symbol: “Four generations of the Krupp family have owned and operated the great armament and munitions plants which have been the chief source of Germany’s war supplies.
