A pre-proposal meeting was held on January 21, 2021 in which three banks were in attendance. On Monday, February 11, 2021 the City received a total of three bank applications (BBVA (incumbent), Frost and City Bank). Responses, transition plans and interface demonstrations were examined by third party consultant, Valley View Consulting and City Staff. Based on the responses received, Valley View and staff recommend that a bank depository agreement be awarded to BBVA Compass for two years with future three one year options for renewal under the same terms and conditions.

Assistant City Manager of Administrative Services City of Odessa 411 West Eighth Street Odessa, TX 79761 Dear Ms. Muncy: We appreciate the opportunity to assist the City of Odessa, Texas (the “City”) with this Primary Depository Bank Services Request for Applications (the “RFA”) project. The objective of this engagement was to solicit area financial institutions for depository services, evaluate RFA responses, and then select a primary depository institution prior to the expiration of the current depository contract. The original depository contract term of five (5) years allowed by statue expires on June 30, 2021. This contract, upon approval, will commence on July 1, 2021 and terminate on June 30, 2023 with three (3) additional one-year extension options. Procedure The Primary Depository Bank Services RFA project began with the establishment of a calendar of events to ensure that the required project steps were performed in a timely and sequential manner. The process for selecting a Primary Depository Bank is governed by the State of Texas Local Government Codes: Chapter 105 Municipal Depository Act; Chapter 176 Conflict of Interest Act; Chapter 2256 Public Funds Investment Act; and Chapter 2257 Public Funds Collateral Act. In addition to complying with these State statutory requirements, it was necessary to understand and comply with the City’s financial and purchasing policies and Investment Policy. The RFA project included the following steps: 1. Analyzed historical bank service usage and balance records. 2. Reviewed the minimum banking services and potential additional services. 3. Developed a list of eligible financial institutions within the City’s municipal boundaries: a. AIMBank b. American Momentum Bank c. Bank of America, N.A. d. BBVA USA (Incumbent) 2428 Carters Mill Road, Huddleston, VA 24104-4003 540.297.3419 Page 2 of 5 e. City Bank f. Community National Bank g. First Financial Bank, N.A. h. First National Bank Texas i. Frost Bank j. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. k. Lone Star State Bank of West Texas l. Prosperity Bank m. Southwest Bank n. Truist Bank o. Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. p. West Texas National Bank 4. Contacted the financial institutions to confirm distribution information, describe process, and identify the designated recipient. 5. Drafted the RFA for the City review and approval. 6. Posted the notice and advertised as required. 7. Distributed RFAs to the identified and receptive financial institutions. 8. Held a non-mandatory pre-application conference that was attended by representatives of: a. BBVA USA (Incumbent) b. City Bank c. Frost Bank 9. No additional RFA requests were received as a result of the advertisement. 10. By the closing deadline, applications were received from: a. BBVA USA (Incumbent) b. City Bank c. Frost Bank This process provided a competitive environment with three (3) financial institutions submitting applications. The evaluation of the applications was based on, but not limited to, the following criteria. 1. Financial strength and stability of institution, 2. Completeness of application and agreement to points outlined in the RFA, 3. Ability to perform and provide the required and requested services, 4. Reputation of applicant and quality of services, 5. Cost of services, 6. Earnings credit calculation and interest paid on account balances, 7. Transition cost, retention and transition offers and incentives, 8. Funds availability, and 9. Previous service relationship with the City. 2428 Carters Mill Road, Huddleston, VA 24104-4003 540.297.3419 Page 3 of 5 Application Analysis The analysis began with an overall review of each financial institution’s general financial strength and ability to provide the services necessary to meet the City’s current and future service needs. Each of the responding financial institutions exhibited acceptable financial strength. Fees Each financial institution’s fee schedules were analyzed based on the City’s banking service needs and estimated activity levels. BBVA USA offered a $2,500 retention incentive and Frost Bank offered a transition credit in the form of waived fees of up to $12,000 during the first three (3) months of the initial contract period. City Bank did not offer any specific credits or allowances. Earnings Credit Earnings Credit allowance is earned using the average collected balance during the month and can only be used to offset banks fees. Over the last year, the City has maintained an average operating balance of approximately $4,156,470. This amount was used to calculate the estimated earnings credit and resulting net cost of each of the financial institution’s applications over the initial two (2) year and full five (5) year potential contract term. The following table briefly summarizes the financial comparisons of the three (3) applications: Summary Financial Comparison Description BBVA USA City Bank* Frost Bank Average Balance $ 4,156,470 $ 4,156,470 $ 4,156,470 Earnings Credit Rate 0.23% 0.45% 0.25% Fees 2-year Initial Term $ (105,092) $ (54,944) $ (107,287) Earnings Credit 2-year 19,120 37,408 20,782 Waived Fees - - 12,000 Other Incentives Offered 2,500 - - Net 2-Year (Cost) $ (83,473) $ (17,535) $ (74,505) Fees 5-year (w/extensions) $ (262,731) $ (137,359) $ (268,219) Earnings Credit 5-year 47,799 93,521 51,956 Waived Fees - - 12,000 Other Incentives Offered 2,500 - - Net 5-year Income/(Cost) $ (212,432) $ (43,839) $ (204,263) *City Bank service fees are “subject to change” per the terms of their application. 2428 Carters Mill Road, Huddleston, VA 24104-4003 540.297.3419 Page 4 of 5 Evaluation Considerations While total service fees and the resulting net cost of the depository relationship to the City are important factors in the decision-making process, there are a number of other factors that were considered as described below. Serving as the City’s depository for the past five (5) years, BBVA USA has been a valued and dependable business partner for the City and has demonstrated their capability and commitment to provide the highest level of customer service through a professional public funds banking group. The City’s financial management of Public Funds and the internal accounting systems in place for the City are vital for proper administration of the City’s financial operations. Over the past year, the City has implemented a new accounting system. Working with BBVA USA, they have smoothly integrated BBVA USA’s treasury management system with the City’s new accounting system and required configurations. As the applications were evaluated, City Bank offered a competitive application that merited consideration. To enable City of Odessa staff to gain a better understanding of the service capabilities offered by City Bank, an invitation was extended to City Bank representatives for a demonstration of services. Topics covered during the demonstration were: 1) online platform system; 2) compatibility with the City of Odessa’s new accounting system; 3) experience of City Bank in serving other comparably sized public fund entities; and 4) a discussion and request by City of Odessa staff for other references in addition to those provided in the application response. The City of Odessa staff was appreciative of the discussion and time spent with City Bank representatives. However, after the demonstration and further City of Odessa staff review and discussion, concerns remained regarding the possible lack of compatibility between City Bank’s internal treasury management systems and the new accounting software continuing to be implemented by the City of Odessa. All of the banks were asked to commit to keeping fees fixed for the duration of the full contract term of five (5) years assuming all extensions are executed. BBVA USA and Frost Bank agreed, however, City Bank would not commit to keeping their fees the same for the entire contract. City of Odessa staff also contacted the references provided by City Bank in their application, and all were generally favorable. However, the references that City Bank provided are significantly smaller than the City of Odessa and do not require the same level of complex services. Complexity of banking service needs tends to increase with the size of the organization. And finally, the City of Odessa staff also reviewed and evaluated the application submitted by Frost Bank. While Frost Bank did offer a competitive application, the staff determined that the overall terms and conditions when compared to others being evaluated did not justify further consideration for award. 2428 Carters Mill Road, Huddleston, VA 24104-4003 540.297.3419 Page 5 of 5 Recommendation Recommendation is based on the City of Odessa staff’s thorough review and evaluation of all applications, internal discussions, discussion of the analysis prepared by Valley View and the evaluation factors mentioned above. The staff believes that BBVA USA has offered the most acceptable overall application to the City and recommends the City of Odessa City Council award the primary depository services contract to BBVA USA. We share the concerns expressed by City staff and believe that staff’s recommendation that the City Council award the primary depository services contract to BBVA USA is in the best interest of the City. Please contact E. K. Hufstedler, Tim Pinon, or me to discuss any questions or additional information needs. Thank you for this opportunity to serve the City of Odessa once again. Sincerely, Thomas H.
