Maryland Pkwy Las Vegas Nevada, 89154 TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: Collegiate Election Services (CES) is an experienced election company. The owner has twenty years of experience working elections at the national, state, local, and university settings. The company is based in Nevada, but has expanded to service other Colleges and Universities in the West. It is a sole proprietor, independently and locally-owned company. CES has serviced UNLV Student Government elections for the last five years and they have all ran quite smooth. We at CES look forward to working with your organization and having another successful year. As per requested by the CSUN Business Manager Jim Moore and acknowledged by the CSUN Vice President and Election's Director, the following is CES' official request for the election contract of Fall 1999 and Spring 2000. Services for the election and balloting operations for the Fall Semester, Senate Election 1999. In accordance to the CSUN Election Director, UNLV will only have one election in the Fall. To comply with this stipulation, CES has designed a Fall election operations package which contains the Senate election and Senate approved ballot questions pertaining to amending the CSUN Constitution. The total cost for the service for the Fall 1999 election will be Eight Thousand, Five Hundred dollars $8,500.00. ELECTION: CSUN 1999 Senate Election. COST: $8,500.00 Services for the election and balloting operations for the Spring Semester, Executive Elections 2000. In accordance to the CSUN Election Director, UNLV will have a Primary and General Executive Election. CES understands that it is contracting for two Executive Elections, but if circumstances arise in which only one Spring Executive election is determined to be needed, CES will work that one election and not charge for the latter. The first Executive election in the Spring will be the primary election and consist of a slate of candidates and if needed Senate approved ballot questions pertaining to amending the CSUN Constitution. The cost for the service for conducting the Spring Primary election of 2000, will be Eight Thousand, Five Hundred dollars $8,500.00. The second Executive election in the Spring will be the General election and consist of a slate of candidates and if needed Senate approved ballot questions pertaining to amending the CSUN Constitution. The cost for the service for conducting the Spring General election of 2000, will be Eight Thousand, Five Hundred dollars $8,500.00. ELECTION: CSUN 2000 Executive Primary Election.

COST: $8,500.00 SERVICES: Poll workers On-site Supervision Certification Verification Voting booths (10) Election results Ballot preparations Ballots (5000 count) Ballot boxes Ballot counter Pre-election consultation Scope of Services We at CES will suggest the best possible system to fit your needs while keeping dependability and accuracy up and cost down. CES will be responsible for maintaining operations of the polling locations. By law, after the polls close the actual counting and verification will begin and will be handled by the company. CES will provide ten voting booths at locations and times (polls open at 9 a.m. and close at 7 p.m.) specified by the elections board. Each of the booths will be in compliance with all federal, state, local, and university laws pertaining to elections. The booths have been modified to make them handicap accessible. We have also included materials which exceed the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. Five thousand (5000) ballots will be provided for each election. The ballots will be prepared as specified by the CSUN Election Director and all applicable election laws. Any unused ballots will be returned to CES. CES will provide breaks for its staff, thus freeing the election board to perform its other duties. On-site supervision is also included in our package. As long as the polls are open, a supervisor will be on campus to handle any problems that may arise. CES ballots that are used with CES equipment will be counted by CES personnel. Counting will take place on the UNLV campus. CES will do the verification and accreditation for any voting done on CES equipment after voting is complete. CES will certify and post the election results after paper ballot tabulation is complete. CES will review the polling procedure and check to see if there were any duplications in voting at the sites. If there are ballots in question, they will be secured and their votes will be purged from the totals. At the end of this process, CES will certify their portion of the election. For a smooth election, CES requests that CSUN/ UNLV provide: • Print-outs of roster (student's name and college) for each polling station. • Temporary parking permits for CES personnel. • A secured area for overnight storage of equipment. • Tables and chairs at each polling location. • The use of the CSUN cart for transportation of equipment and personnel. • No later than two weeks prior to each election, CES must receive the final proof sheet of candidates and ballot questions. This document will be the finalized version of how the ballot will be organized, with the correct spelling, and the proper phrasing of Constitutional questions. If the weather poses a problem. CES will move the locations of the voting booths to the pre-determined, alternate site approved by the elections board. The determination of moving a polling site will be the sole responsibility of the election company supervisor; this is to insure the safety of the poll workers and to maintain the integrity of the election. If there are to be any addendum to this agreement, the changes will be stipulated in writing and agreed by the CSUN Senate, CSUN Executive Board, and CES. CSUN Responsibilities Allen R.
