The complete process involved in the marketing of the Transfort buses will be performed by various Outdoor Promotions staff. The steps included in our services are marketing, negotiating of the sale, layout design, production, and installation of the panels/wraps, oversight of the condition of the ad panels, invoicing and renewal. We have experienced staff available that specializes in each one of these areas and equipment in-house to effectively manage the bus advertising project. Our commitment to the City is to maximize the revenue from the Transfort buses and sustain the success we have built in the past 5years. • x No Text I...� €+C1Nof3+oatl Gltina Outdoor Promotions has been serving municipalities in marketing transit advertising in Colorado for 17 years. We are active members and supporters of Colorado Association of Transit Agencies known as CASTA (see reference letter In the Appendix). We have an exceptional team of people with over 30 years of combined experience specifically with municipal contracts in Colorado. We are actively involved with each community that we do business, recognizing this as an important ingredient in 'providing a complete program that is mutually, beneficial. Last year when the transportation tax was going before the voters;in Fort Collins, Mr. Young spent time personally walking precincts handing out information supporting the tax. The company also made cash and in - kind donations supporting the tax initiative. In our history with the City of Fort Collins, we have always tried to provide higher quality of service _ than we were contracted to do. According to our bus -advertising contract we are to deliver the ad panels to Transfort for the staff there to install onto the bus. However, we have eliminated the extra work for Transfort by always taking the time to install the ads ourselves. We will proceed' with this benefit if we continue to serve the City under a new agreement. Under the bench contract, we are not required to provide trash receptacles at any of the stops. However, we have placed several around town at the request of Transfort.' Our strongest qualification for the tasks of marketing the advertising opportunities on the Transfort buses is our past history. We have out performed the required' minimum amount to be paid to Transfort each of the 5 years we have operated as the vender. in 2000, we generated over $61,000 as Transfort's share of the revenue from the bus advertising program. This is almost double the minimum amount we are required to pay Transfort each year per the agreement. In the first quarter of 2001; we are ahead of last year by just over 40%. We trust that our track record will give confidence to the City of Fort Collins as an established vender with reliable and proven success in'marketing all three transit medium. We have maintained a very high occupancy level', (above'95%) on all of the transit advertising venues and sustained above average advertising rates from what is generated around the region The vender in Greeley who handles the bus advertising has had little success in generating interest in the buses and their benches rent for one-third less than ours. We are so strong in our sales techniques that we were able to pre -sell all of the shelter ads before the structures were on the street, both in Fort Collins for the pilot program and in Loveland. Outdoor Promotions has long-standing -relationships with hundreds of businesses that have entrusted us with the marketing of their business. Advertisers prefer the ability to work with one vender whenever' possible in the purchase of advertising. Our ability to market all three mediums allows us to cross -sell providing more diverse coverage to 'the advertiser. 5Q , Our Loveland contract also brings value to Fort Collins as advertisers need and want complete distribution of their advertisements in both markets. Having both markets provides better service for the advertisers in making their marketing decision. We will soon be adding benches and buses to our inventory within the City of Loveland. One additional success that we are proud of is our relationship with Airport Express. Our President approached Airport Express less than one year ago with the idea of allowing Outdoor Promotions to market ads on the rear of their shuttle buses. We market just the rear of the buses with full rear -wrap ads. They have given us 17 shuttle buses to market and we have ads in the process of production or already installed on all 17 of them. If Transfort decides to take the opportunity to market the buses with wrap ads, we have the experience to sell them, the equipment necessary for production, and the staff qualified to install vinyl wraps in house. We are committed and confident that Outdoor Promotions will bring the most complete program to the City of Fort Collins. There is no other vender who has the number of years of successful operation or the proven history in our specialized field. We welcome the opportunity to continue to serve Fort Collins.

Every other vender looking at this project will take several months to gear up for the design, production and marketing. We have an established client base with advertising contracts in place that will generate revenue from the first day of a contract with the City. We have maintained a high occupancy rate on the Transfort buses during our last 5 years. Our clients are adept to purchasing all of our advertising on a 4-week basis instead of monthly. This gives us one additional billing cycle each year, which translates into additional revenue for Transfort.

Our many clients, both local and regional, have been educated as to how the medium is used effectively. We feel this is best accomplished by working on occupancy rather than panel rate in the early months of a new market area coming on line. The basic philosophy is to drive occupancy up with pricing discounts for multiple panel buys and long duration contracts. Our rate card is designed to encourage clients to buy more advertising for longer terms in order to get the best price per display. Our sales commission plan is also structured accordingly. A copy of the rate card is in the back of this section. We have in-house graphic staff who has skillful talent in designing effective ads in good taste. They work closely with advertisers guiding them in developing their layouts and then coordinating the production to assure the transfer to a quality image. By having a graphic designer on staff we can respond quickly to an advertisers need to place an ad at short notice, which also assists in reducing lost revenue from empty ad space. We have made the commitment to purchase a digital printing system. By having in-house printing capabilities we can literally develop, print and install a bench, bus or shelter ad the same day. This factor will dramatically shorten our lead-time necessary to have an ad out on the street, which will translate into less down time from vacant space thereby maximizing the potential for revenue for the City. The print system we are purchasing will also give us the ability to print full -wrap ads for vehicles. The delivery of the equipment is pending the City's decision on our proposal. No Text �IHnyWwi. +fir. M; �424ofFed Collins No Text We are sensitive to the public nature of the buses and the perception of endorsement by the City of any advertisements placed on them. Therefore, we believe there are certain categories of products and services that are not appropriate advertisement on buses. We do not allow advertising that is false, misleading or deceptive; relates to an illegal activity; depicts or promotes violence and/or anti -social behavior; holds up individuals or groups of people to public ridicule, derision or embarrassment; includes language which is obscene, vulgar or profane; does not promote the use of tobacco or alcohol. We do not permit adult entertainment or products or the public display of nudity. We also believe that it is inappropriate to place a competing advertisement in front of a competitor's business.

Mountain Avenue Fort Collins, CO 80521 To the Director: Telephone I Facsimile Web 1 am aware that the City of Fort Collins is considering a proposal by Outdoor Promotions, Inc., of Fort Collins, for continuing a relationship that has been in place for a period of time. We have found Gary D. Young, the principal in this company, to be a solid member of the transit community in our region — supporting activities and events of the Colorado Association of Transit Agencies (CASTA). Our organization is an association of transit providers, which speaks to the general public and to policy makers in our state. Mr. Young has, by his personal involvement and his company's support of transit activities, shown an extraordinary commitment to transit in Colorado. He has actively supported and been personally involved with local transit agencies in funding initiative campaigns; has been a primary supporter of CASTA's Colorado Fall Transit Conference, which brings transit managers and decision makers in the region together for training and long-term community and legislative planning; and has been a primary supporter of the Colorado Statewide Bus Roadeo. The Roadeo brings actual transit drivers of the state together in a competition, which helps them hone their professional skills, and provides a method of recognizing their special contribution to effectively moving Colorado people via transit. I have seen first hand the result of the work and efforts of Outdoor Promotions, Inc. in completion of contracts with the city in which I live. There is nothing in my hometown experience that leads me to believe that the City of Fort Collins can expect anything less than the very best this company has to offer in any endeavor it undertakes. Our organization is proud of its membership, and firms such as Outdoor Promotions, Inc., who take that membership as a personal and corporate commitment. I am sure you will find that same commitment in this firm's approach to their long-term customer service, as well. Sincerely, David R.

He has certainly proven to be flexible and understanding as we go through this transition. Gary is nearing the completion of upgrading all the one hundred plus benches he has placed in Cheyenne, through his own initiative. I have found his benches to be regularly maintained in a high state of repair. His crew identifies problems and rectifies them before they are even brought to my attention by "concerned citizens." He has proven to be very thorough and proactive in his management of the bench program in Cheyenne. I look forward to many more years of our association.

We simply don't have the financial resources to carry out such a program, let alone the staff to coordinate with the many communities and private landowners who will be directly affected by these placements. Gary Young with Outdoor Promotions has demonstrated a very generous attitude and created very favorable relationships with our local governments and with private landowners in sheparding the placement of these many shelters and benches. He works well with both public servants as well as the individual resident and/or landowner. We have been very pleased with his services and with his ability to "take the heat" off day-to-day staff in pursuing this important objective of our transit service.

We started using your services on 20 bus benches in Fort Collins. I can't tell you how many times I heard customers say "Wow, you guys are on bus benches everywhere!". This is a dream come true for an advertiser who's trying to promote Top of Mind Awareness for our company in the community. It was so effective for us that, instead of 3 months on, 3 months off and 3 months on again, we decided to keep the benches up for all 9 months. Were it not for our ever -decreasing advertising funds and the need to use them for expensive retail signage, we'd still be "everywhere". The experience with you and your company has been so productive and pleasant that it was an easy decision to utilize Outdoor Promotions for the backs of buses in Longmont and the sides of bus shelters in Loveland. We've already gotten many comments about the buses in Longmont and how we seem to be "everywhere". What's more, you made it painless to come up with advertising concepts (something in which I am NOT gifted!) and the concepts were both eye-catching and aesthetically pleasing. And, at all times that I saw the benches, they were clean. As a business owner, I am deluged with calls from prospective advertisers and solicitors. However, your pleasant disposition and objective selling style made the decision to go with your company an easy one. Also, based on rigid guidelines from our carriers on co-opable activity, you have helped me to present the invoices in exactly the requisite wording to be reimbursed even though it required manual effort on your company's part. I have really appreciated that flexibility from you and the company. I would be happy to take calls from prospective clients to let them know personally how very satisfying our business partnership has been. Feel free to have anyone call me at (970) 207-4460 should they wish more information from me. S�iincerre/ell�y, V) . Cj Dani C.

It is our pledge to make the investments necessary to accomplish this under a 5-year contract term with one additional automatic renewal term of 5 years. The renewal would be contingent on no unresolved or outstanding defaults. Outdoor Promotions declares that no City Council member or member of a board or commission, Municipal Judge, City Manager, City Attorney, Utilities Director, or employee of the cities or any such person's spouse, child, parent, brother, sister, dependent or person assuming a relationship being the substantial equivalent of the above, has an existing or pending, direct or indirect, financial, pecuniary or personal interest in Outdoor Promotions, or this Request for Proposal. We are confident that you will continue to be very satisfied with the quality of performance that Outdoor Promotions delivers. We welcome your questions and discussion regarding our proposal and eagerly await your evaluation. This proposal will remain valid until June 30, 2001.
