Formerly §3.16.100]. 3.30.105 Circumvention of bidding requirements prohibited. No person shall subdivide an acquisition of supplies, materials, equipment, or services into more than one purchase order, contract, or change order if the acquisition of said items or services would normally, reasonably, and customarily be conducted under a single purchase order, contract, or change order, and if the subdivision has the effect of avoiding or circumventing the competitive bidding requirements, or the limitations on the authority to make acquisitions or to award contracts or change orders contained in this chapter. [Ord. 88 -11 -0 §2, 1988. Formerly §3.16.105]. 3.30.110 Competitive sealed proposals — Negotiated procurement. A. If the manager determines that use of competitive sealed bidding is not practicable, the borough may procure supplies, services or construction by competitive sealed proposals under this section. This page of the Kodiak Island Borough Code is current through Ordinance FY2012 -20, passed May 3, 2012. Kodiak Island Borough Code Page 5/6 B. The manager shall solicit competitive sealed proposals by issuing a request for proposals. The request for proposals shall state, or incorporate by reference, all specifications and contractual terms and conditions to which a proposal must respond and shall state the factors to be considered in evaluating proposals and the relative importance of those factors. Public notice of a request for proposals shall be given in accordance with KIBC 3.30.040. C. Sealed proposals shall be designated as such on an outer envelope and shall be submitted by mail or in person at the place and no later than the time specified in the request for proposals. Proposals not submitted at the place or within the time so specified shall not be opened or considered. D. Proposals shall be received at the time and place designated in the request for proposals and shall be opened so as to avoid disclosing their contents to competing proponents during the process of negotiation. Proposals and tabulations thereof shall be open to public inspection only after the contract award. E. In the manner provided in the request for proposals, the manager may negotiate with those responsible proponents whose proposals are determined by the manager to be reasonably responsive to the request for proposals. Negotiations shall be used to clarify and assure full understanding of the requirements of the request for proposals. The manager may permit proponents to revise their proposals after submission and prior to award to obtain best and final offers. Proponents deemed eligible for negotiations shall be treated equally regarding any opportunity to discuss and revise proposals. In conducting negotiations or requesting revisions, neither the manager nor any other borough director or employee shall disclose any information derived from proposals of competing proponents. F. Awards shall be made by written notice to the responsible proponent whose final proposal is determined to be most advantageous to the borough. No criteria other than those set forth in the request for proposals may be used in proposal evaluation. If the manager determines that it is in the best interest of the borough to do so, the borough may reject all proposals. [Ord. 98 -03 §2, 1998; Ord. 84 -61 -0 §10, 1984; Ord. 82 -35 -0 §2, 1982.

The borough shall not award a contract or purchase order to any person, corporation, or other business entity who is delinquent in paying (1) any tax levied by the borough; (2) any special assessment levied by the borough; (3) any charge for utility or municipal waste services; or (4) any other borough fee due under the code, unless the person, corporation, or other business entity cures the delinquency within 30 days after the mailing of written notice of the delinquency. In the case of a closely held business, this prohibition shall also apply to the delinquency of their legal principals or officers. For purposes of this section, a payment shall be considered "delinquent" when it is not made on or before the applicable deadline established by the Kodiak Island Borough Code, or by written notice if the code does not establish a deadline, or, if the code does not establish a deadline and a deadline is not established in a written notice, within 60 days of the mailing of written notice that the payment is due. B. The borough may terminate any contract or purchase order if the person, corporation, or other business entity and, in the case of a closely held business, their This page of the Kodiak Island Borough Code is current through Ordinance FY2012 -20, passed May 3, 2012 Kodiak Island Borough Code Page 6/6 legal principals or officers, becomes delinquent in payment of any of the items listed in subsection (A) of this section, unless the delinquency is cured within 30 days after mailing of written notice as above. C. The borough may deduct from any amount otherwise due the person, corporation, or other business entity and, in the case of a closely held business, their legal principals or officers under any contract or purchase order an amount equal to the total of all such delinquent amounts that the contractor owes for (1) taxes levied by the borough; (2) special assessments levied by the borough; (3) charges for borough utility or municipal waste services; and (4) other borough fees due under the code. D. Nothing in this section shall prevent any person, corporation, or other business entity and, in the case of a closely held business, their legal principals or officers from paying under protest any tax, special assessment, utility or municipal waste charge, or other borough fee, or pursuing appropriate judicial or administrative action to contest or recover any such tax, assessment, charge or fee. E. For purposes of this section, the term "closely held business" shall mean a corporation, limited liability company or other business entity which has less than five unrelated (by blood or marriage) owners.

BEAR AWARE HALLOWEEN TIPS! • Don't be out past 8:00 PM • Adults accompany young children • Travel in groups and make noise • Carry a flashlight and air horn • Keep away from dumpsters and wooded or brushy areas • Report bear sightings to police October 25, 2012 HALLOWEEN IN BEAR COUNTRY Next week children and their parents will be haunting our streets and neighborhoods in search of candy and goodies in celebration of Halloween. This year they will be joining other, much larger and furrier, Kodiak residents who have already been doing pranks and looking for treats in inappropriate places. These town bears have not acted aggressively toward people, but if surprised or cornered they will defend themselves. It is important to know how to be safe when we live in a bear community, and the Kodiak Interagency Bear Safety Group* would like to offer the following suggestions to help assure that kids and bears do not scare each other during this spooky time: - Encourage kids to partake in organized Halloween activities like the Downtown Trick -or -Treat on Wednesday, October 3l from 3:30 — 5:30 and at the Elks Club that same afternoon. - If trick -or- treating in neighborhoods go as early as possible. All activities should be finished by 8:00 pm. - Parents should accompany young kids when they make their rounds to homes, and older kids should always stay in groups. Have fun as a group and always make noise. - Everyone should have a flashlight, and if groups are walking in unlit areas or near wooded or brushy areas someone should carry an air horn that can be used to scare a bear if one is seen. - Never cut through wooded or brushy areas (this is where bears sleep and feel secure). - Always stay away from dumpsters after dark. - If a bear is seen, alert others to its presence, walk (don't run) away from it, and call Kodiak Police Department (486 -8000) as soon as possible to report the bear's location. - BE BEAR AWARE * The Kodiak Interagency Bear Safety Group is an unofficial coalition of agencies and groups that are directly associated with public safety and bears along the Kodiak road system. Members include: Kodiak Police Department, Alaska State Troopers, Alaska Wildlife Troopers, Alaska Department of Fish and Game, Alaska State Parks, Kodiak Island Borough, US Coast Guard Military Police, and Alaska Waste. PROBLEM: 1. Littering / overfilling dumpsters and roll cans is seen by residents of Kodiak as the biggest problem attracting "problem bears ". KIB needs to adopt a "bear aware" plan similar to ones in place around the country but most like the one in place in Juneau. Fines are a must! (See attachment). 2. Each neighborhood or area is a Red, Yellow or Green zone, depending on previous bear activity by the KIB and AW. Why aren't all red and yellow areas using MANDATORY bear resistant carts and dumpsters? When the roll cart decision was made, were residents given a bear roll cart option? NO! Alaska Waste has bear resistant containers in Anchorage, why not Kodiak? (See Attachment) 3. After the high bear activity over the weekend of Oct 13 -15, Alaska Waste and KIB stated they would provide PSA's on the radio and newspaper. Unfortunately, not everyone reads the paper or listens or can listen to Hotline midday. We also have a large population that cannot speak or read English! There must be a plan in place to educate ALL residents of Kodiak. The KIB website provides a PDF pamphlet that discusses garbage and bear interactions. Ordinance 8.20.020 defines litter. Why does the KIB not have a plan in place for enforcement and punishment of those who do not follow the ordinance? (See attachment) 4. There have been several dumpsters and many roll off cans overfilled in various areas that have attracted bears. Alaska Waste stated they would go door to door with bear notices following the high bear activity October 13 -15. That DID NOT happen. Alaska Waste simply added a large roll off dumpster on Selief near Bonapart Circle however many people didn't see it as the dumpster was on a side dirt road. A better solution would have been for Alaska Waste to pull all the roll carts and provide bear proof dumpsters until further notice. Many areas of town are still having daily issues with bears in the garbage because Kodiak does not have adequate bear proof trash receptacles. 5. There are two sets of dumpsters less than a half mile apart. The dumpster that is on Sunset Drive is bear resistant while the other on Woodland Drive is not. Please explain what the logic is in these placements? 6. When roll cart service went in, residents were promised Transfer stations within 18 months. Two years later there are none. Threshold Recycling station is the only area that has a semi safe place where people can throw away garbage in bear resistant roll off bins and huts to put recyclable goods. The USCG went to a "transfer station" style of dealing with trash in CG Housing. Since doing so, the number of encounters between bears, humans arid trash has been reduced significantly. They use bear resistant containers and deal directly with offenders who violate the rules. PROBLEM: 1.

The USCG went to a "transfer station" style of dealing with trash in CG Housing. Since doing so, the number of encounters between bears, humans and trash has been reduced significantly. They use bear resistant containers and deal directly with offenders who violate the rules. As told to me: "I just had a long conversation with a local Kodiak bear expert. He said that 25% of the male bears DO NOT hibernate. Also that all the trouble bears are fat and NOT hungry, they had plenty of fish and berries to eat this year (This info shocked me!) The problem is they are hooked like drug addicts on our easy to obtain garbage. It is like stopping in Taco Bell for a late night snack, we don't need it but if it is right in front of us, we will eat it. That is also the reason the bears are so lethargic and slow to respond to rubber bullets and noises. THEY ARE STUFFED and they have so much fat on their bodies that the rubber pellets barely phase them. He said if we do not secure garbage, they will keep coming back for the easy snack. It is similar to the obesity epidemic in humans, we get addicted to the food that is bad for us and easy to grab and go. Saying this is a NORMAL yearly occurrence before bears hibernate is NOT TRUE. It is a new pattern that we better get used to if we don't make changes in how we handle garbage. Humans have created this mess, and it is our responsibility to clean it up, or risk seeing more dead bears" POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS: I. An island wide ordinance to make it illegal to not secure garbage. Allow Kodiak Police Department including their community service officers, USCG police, Alaska State Troopers, ADF &G officers and KIB code enforcement to have the power to ticket offenders who do not secure garbage. Fines are a must! 2. Install cameras at transfer stations and dumpsters to keep people honest. Post that dumpsters are being filmed and offenders will be prosecuted. 3. Add at least 4 transfer stations as initially promised. 4. Provide all residents in high risk areas (red and yellow sections of city limits) with bear resistant roll carts in and ALL dumpsters MUST be bear resistant. 5. EDUCATE, EDUCATE, EDUCATE! ! ?

The people of Juneau have experienced recurring conflicts with bears in our community. The city is surrounded by prime black bear habitat and it isn't uncommon to see bears wandering through town. Juneau residents treasure the natural surroundings in which we live: we live in bear country and we feel lucky to do so. ) Because we understand our responsibility to the wildlife whose home we share, our community was among the first in the nation to enact local laws aimed at keeping bears out of garbage. As we continue to refine laws and practices, Juneau is becoming a model for other communities committed to living in harmony with wildlife.

Juneau is prime black bear habitat and it isn't uncommon to see bears traveling through neighborhoods. A black bear passing through is generally not a threat. Black bears are rarely aggressive toward people and no serious attacks have ever been reported in Juneau. If given space, time, and the opportunity to retreat, most bears will wander back into the I woods. o Is the bear eating natural foods and /or just passing through? bttp: / /www.juneau.org /bears/ 1 0/23/2012 a ne tatty aria !iorougn at Juneau Page 1 of 1 A City and Borough of Juneau CI YSGROUGH OF JUNEAU 155 S.

Keep it inside, in a bear resistant container, in a reinforced shed or garage, or dispose of waste immediately. All waste should be securely bagged to reduce the smell. Rinse smelly bags and containers before throwing them away. Bird seed: Don't feed birds during active bear season (April 15 — October 31). Clean up spilled bird seed. Pets and other animals: Install electric fences to keep bears out of animal pens, corrals, chicken coops, rabbit hutches, and beehives. Store pet and livestock food out of reach of bears. Fish: If you clean your fish at home, keep all fish waste in a freezer out of reach of bears until garbage pick -up. You can also take your fish waste straight to the landfill. Store fish nets, tackle and line indoors, in a garage, or otherwise out of reach of bears. BBQs and smokers: Clean BBQ grills thoroughly after grilling. If possible, store grill inside the garage or shed when not in use. 21 Smoking fish can attract bears. Do not leave your smoker unattended. Compost: Composting can attract bears. If you live in an area where bears are commonly seen, protect your compost pile with an electric fence. Do not put fish waste or smelly food scraps in your compost pile. Chop items well. If you have a problem If a bear is causing a problem, here are a few things you can do: • Secure yourself and your family in your home. • Turn on a spot light and make noise (yell, bang pans, etc.) to scare the bear. • If the bear is not threatening, continue to watch it and try to figure out why it is coming around. Fix the problem in the morning or call for suggestions. • If the bear is a direct threat to a person's life or valuable property, either call 9 -1 -1 for law enforcement help or you may shoot the bear as a last resort. • Remember, if the bear has been attracted to your yard by improperly stored food or garbage, you can NOT legally kill it. • If you kill a bear you must notify law enforcement officers, skin the bear, and relinquish the hide (with claws) and skull to Alaska Department of Fish & Game. It takes a community People in Kodiak are among the world's most experienced people living with bears. With a community effort we can continue to minimize bear problems. Let's keep up the good work and always BE BEAR AWARE.
