4. An estimate of the Total Useful Life of each building or
improvement will be made. This estimate, together with the

arriving at our opinion of Total Useful Life, consideration
will be given to:
a. The type, character and reasonable life expectancy
under past and projected operating conditions relative
to the designed use;
b. Functional obsolescence and developing technology;
c. External obsolescence and developing economic
conditions in relationship to the use of the

New. Consideration will be given to labor material
costs in the local area to replace the property in
like, kind and quality, plus the indirect costs for
architect's and engineers' fees, inspection fees,
licenses, applicable sales tax, insurance and other
incidents.
b. Deoreciated Reoroduction Cost - Physical deterioration
and functional and external obsolescence, relevant for
insurance purposes, will be observed and deducted to
arrive at Depreciated Reproduction Cost.
c. Exclusions and Insurable Values - In computing
Insurable Values, the value of items specifically
excluded from coverage in accordance with your present
insurance policy will be deducted to arrive at
Insurable Value. A copy of the current property
insurance policy must be provided to Marshall and
Stevens by the City prior to the start of the project.
v. MACmNERY AND EOUlPMENT
A. INVENTORY PROCEDURE
1. Verification: Experienced and qualified members of the
professional staff of Marshall and Stevens will conduct a
field inventory of machinery and equipment owned by the
City. The assets will be listed by building and department
of use in one of the following categories:
a. Capitalized Equipment - Individual Control
Those equipment items (1) which can be identified by
manufacturer, model and serial number and, as such, are
identified from other like items; (2) have a unit
original cost of $300 or more and (3) have a useful
life in excess of one year, will be listed
individually.
Generally, this classification includes business
machines, major machinery and equipment, audiovisual
equipment, lab equipment, communications equipment and
maintenance equipment.
MARSHALL AND STEVENS INCORPORATED
V. MACHINERY AND EOUlPMENT (continued)
A INVENTORY PROCEDURE (continued)
b. Capitalized Eauipment - Grouo Control
Those equipment items (1) which are homogeneous and not
individually identifiable, (2) mayor may not have a unit
cost of $300 or more but the Citys' practice is to purchase
in groups and capitalize the total group cost and (3) have
an average group life in excess of one year, will be listed
by homogeneous grouping by each year capitalized within each
department location or fund. All furniture will be in this
category.
c. Minor Eauioment - Noncontrollable
Those equipment items which are expensed for accounting
purposes only will be grouped by building and department
with a general description of the group.
Generally, this classification includes miscellaneous office
accessories, tools, shop general equipment and minor lab
items.
B. TAGGING
1. Should the City desire, Marshall and Stevens can place tags
on all physically inventoried equipment. The cost of the
tags would be additional to our proposed costs and should
not exceed $3,500 we would recommend 25,000.
C. ORIGINAL COST RECORD/ACCOUNTING
1. To establish the necessary cost record for accounting,
auditing and financial reporting purposes, Marshall and
Stevens will establish an original cost record based on
acquisition cost and date for each individual machine or
capitalized group. Costs generally include:
a. Purchase or assembled cost
b. Freight and installation
c. Applicable sales tax
2. Original costs will be assigned on the basis of City records
provided that they can be furnished at a centralized
location assembled bv year acquired and by department of
responsibility. .
MARSHALL AND STEVENS INCORPORATED
V. MACHINERY AND EQUIPMENT (continued)
C. ORIGINAL COST RECORD/ACCOUNTING (continued)
3. If the appropriate original cost data is not available or
cannot be provided as described above, the normal original
cost will be established by Marshall and Stevens using -one
of the following methods:
a. Research the normal cost at date of acquisition from
our historical pricing records.
b. Determine current Reproduction Cost New and apply
reverse cost trends to the date of acquisition.
4. An estimate of the Total Useful Life of each item or
homogeneous group will be made. This estimate, together
with the estimated date of acquisition, will be the basis
for the ratio of expired life to remaining life to provide
depreciation reserves. In arriving at our opinion of Total
Useful Life, consideration will be given to:
a. The type, character and reasonable life expectancy
under past and projected operating conditions relative
to the designed use;
b. Functional obsolescence resulting from changing
conditions in relationship to use;

While these issues are addressed in our proposal, they are given special
consideration in this section of our proposal.
Marshall and Stevens is a stable, profitable and growing firm. We have been
supplying services to Cities since 1932. Our original MSFAMS software was
the basis for GFOA (then MFOA) fixed assets requirements. Our fixed asset
surveys are still an integral part of the "Certificate of Excellence."
Manpower
Ms. O'Neil's qualifications are attached and she has personally worked with
the Cities of Oxnard and PalmdaIe, both referenced as clients of ours.
Ms. O'Neil's staff consists of over a dozen public sector specialists. To
supply all of their professional qualifications would be voluminous
EDP
The qualification of Ms. Mary Lynn Pointier is also enclosed.
Ms. Pointier is our Corporate Director and Vice President of Management
Information Systems and has designed fixed asset systems for both PCS and
mainframes. She is familiar with most all of the current commercially

staff, all full-time employees, to do this job. We will be there for the
City of El Segundo five or ten years from now, should you need our
assistance to support a loss or update your inventory.

parameters similar to yours.
