Major benefits for sellers (clients) when using GovDeals
1) Produces higher prices. Global exposure to a large number of active and highly targeted buyers
produces increased number of bids and higher prices for your members.
2) Reduced warehouse space. No need to accumulate items for months to hold an auction. Your
items are auctioned immediately, as they become available - not stored. Direct and indirect savings
realized due to less damage, "shrinkage", and warehouse space required.
3) No transportation required. Eliminate the transportation and handling of your surplus equipment
as well as the direct and indirect costs associated with transporting them to off-site auction sites.
Sell items right from vour warehouse or surplus yard - without ever havinq to move them.
4) Weather and uncomfortable conditions are eliminated~ Buyers can view items and conduct
their bidding in a comfortable environment that fits their schedule. Sellers provide accurate
descriptions with colorful digital images to view on the user-friendly GovDeals site. You never have
to worry about a "rain out" date and re-scheduling or bidders being "too hot" or "too cold" for your
auction.
5) Continuous revenue stream. Sell items immediately as they are declared surplus. Revenues are
returned on a frequent and timely basis.
6) Avoid "absolute" auctions low prices. No need to accept low price or bring the equipment home.
Reject bids if not acceptable - or utilize the easy and "painless" ReserveBid feature.

invoice arrives at end of month for all items sold during the month.

other auction approaches (Le., sealed bid, traditional, etc.) in addition to GovDeals. You can not list
items simultaneouslv with other auction approaches.

incurred until your items are sold and payment is received.
3) Shipping and handling - Buyers will arrange all handling, loading and transportation of purchases.
Sellers do NOT ship or load. (NOTE: Many Buyers are long-time, repeat purchasers. We

GovDeals
Sellers Agreement
Exhibit A - System Environment Description
Overview:
GovDeals uses three basic proprietary software servers to support the full range of business
activities required to manage the asset auction process; the Enterprise Business Server, the Client
Asset Server, and the Enterprise Auction Server. These proprietary servers are written in readily
available programming languages and operate within an Internet environment comprised of
proven applications. The use of proven technologies greatly reduces the risk of unanticipated
problems. The functionality of each GovDeals server is presented below. GovDeals reserves
the right to modifY the described functionality at its sole discretion:
Enterprise Business Server ("EBS"):
The EBS is used by GovDeals to manage Client accounts and invoicing. This server is within our
offices and contains all Client infonnation including contact infonnation, billing rates, and other
client-specific data. This server performs the following functions on an on-going basis:
. Accepts the initial entry of Client infonnation based upon terms of our contract and
provides for the maintenance of these data;
. Receives auction results from the Enterprise Auction Server and establishes an
invoice history record for each of these transactions;
. Communicates with the Client Asset Server to accept requests for credits from clients
and stores a memo in the invoice history; and
. Produces invoice reports to support billing activities.
Client Asset Server ("CAS"):
The CAS is the Client's primary interface with the asset management and auction processes.
The CAS supports the following critical functions:
. Allows the Client Administrator to set up additional users, specifYing the activities
they are allowed to perform based upon a user level;
. Pennits the Client Administrator and other authorized users to maintain asset user
information;
. Accepts asset infonnation that:
Describes the asset and it's condition;
Specifies various auction phases the asset will move through;
Stipulates restrictions for each phase as to whom can buy the asset; and
Provides an Internet address to an image of the asset.
. Records and reports asset status based upon input from the Client and activities on the
Enterprise Auction Server. This includes the ability for the Client to enter an asset in
a "Hold for Redistribution" status and to remove an item from auction;
. Accepts requests for credits and communicates these requests to the Enterprise
Business Server; and
GovDeals Sellers Agreement - Exhibit A - Version 061101-01
Page 1
Copyright 2001, GovDcals, Inc.
.
.
.
275
. Allows the Client to maintain an electronic table of Communities to which transfer of
an asset may be restricted during various auction phases.
Enterprise Auction Server ("EAS"):
The Enterprise Auction Server is the GovDeals component that is visible to the buyers. In
addition to standard auction capabilities, it provides functionality specifically designed to
facilitate and enhance the auction of assets by governments. This includes the ability to:
. Accept profile information from potential buyers, such as:
Contact information to facilitate contacting the buyer concerning GovDeals
related activities;
Identification of special Communities to which the buyer belongs to support
restricted bidding; and
Categories of assets that are of particular interest to the buyer.
. Process automated bids ("proxy bidding service") that allow a potential buyer to
participate in the bid process without having to sign in to place each bid;
. Notify registered bidders of significant events, which include:
Items of particular interest becoming available for auction (optional);
Being out bid on an item (optional);
Assets that the buyer has bid upon being withdrawn from auction; and
Having the winning bid.
. Produce and forward matching award certificates to the successful buyer and the
appropriate seller to be used for validation and asset transfers;
. Accomplish two-way communication with the appropriate Client Asset Server to
receive assets and update auction status information.

ATTACHMENT A
SUMMARY OF TA WSMP WORK PROGRAM FOR PHASE V:
FY 2004 - FY 2007
Since it began in 1988, the Triangle Area Water Supply Monitoring Project has made significant
progress towards the goals and objectives originally established for the project. Through the
project, participating local governments have worked together to establish a stronger base of
information upon which to determine long-term changes in water quality. The project has also
increased our understanding about the presence or absence of synthetic organic chemicals in the
Triangle Region's drinking water supply sources. This data is important to local and state
agencies responsible for the provision and protection of drinking water supplies.
The Triangle Area Water Supply Monitoring Project Steering Committee, which is composed of
representatives from each participating local government, recommends that this cooperative
monitoring project continue. The Steering Committee recommends the following:
1. that water quality monitoring be continued at the sites and frequencies, and for the
parameters listed on Table 1 of the Triangle Area Water Supply Monitoring Project
Proposal for Phase V (see Attachment C);
2. that stream flow gaging be continued at the sites also shown on Table 1 (see Attachment
C);
3. that data collection at existing tributary sites be increased during high-flow event; and
4. that the presence of emerging water-quality contaminants such as pharmaceutical
compounds and antibiotics be determined at 7 sites near water-supply intakes as shown
on Table 1 (see Attachment C).
5. that a report be published that includes analysis of water-quality trends for data collected
through 2005.
During Phase V, the Steering Committee will work with the U.S. Geological Survey to increase
public awareness and understanding of the Project and the quality of water-supply sources in the
region through periodic progress reports, press releases, presentations, and by maintaining a
Project web site.

A IT ACHMENT B
T A WSMP ANNUAL COST SHARES FOR PHASE V:
FY 2004 - FY 2007
The annual cost for Phase V of the Triangle Area Water Supply Monitoring Project is $340,000.
The US Geological Survey will provide a fifty percent cost share match of $170,000. The
Monitoring Project Partners' total annual cost for Phase V is the remaining $170,000, plus
$12,000 for TJCOG services and support. The Monitoring Project Partners' individual annual
cost shares are the sum of a base rate and a variable rate. The base rate is thirty percent of the
total annual Monitoring Project Partners' cost, which is thirty percent of $182,000, divided
equally among the Monitoring Project Partners. The variable rate is seventy percent of the total
annual Monitoring Project Partners' cost, which is seventy percent of $182,000, multiplied by
each Monitoring Project Partners' percentage of the total average annual water use during
Calendar Year 2001 for all Monitoring Project Partners.
