STARS QUERY SYSTEM MuniServices will install the STARS Query System (a software program) on a City designated, IBM-compatible Pc. Each quarter, MuniServices shall provide the City with updated information from SBE on CD-ROM. The data shall be provided in an encrypted format allowing the City to export sales tax information from the Query System in an Access-compatible format. o The Query System enables City staff to analyze the contribution of sales/use tax revenue from each taxpayer in the City on an individual, grouped or sorted-order basis by business name, business type, permit number, size ranking, street address, development, shopping center or other geographic area. Reports may be generated by any year (i.e., calendar, fiscal, benchmark) or for any particular quarter for all periods stored in the historical database. The initial STARS Digest and Sales Tax Query System shall be delivered and installed within 45 working days following receipt of a fully executed contract, confidentiality resolution and the SBE sales tax registration and payment data. Subsequent quarterly Query System updates and STARS reports will be delivered to the City within 30 days following receipt of the quarterly distribution reports from the SBE. COMPENSATION The STARS Digest and Query System are available for an annual fixed fee of $2,339.72 per year, paid $584.93 quarterly. The Annual Fee shall be adjusted at the beginning of each calendar year by the percentage change in the Consumer Price Index - West Urban (CPI-WU) as reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The initial Consumer Price Index used for the first CPI adjustment will be the CPI-WU for the month in which the agreement is fully signed with the first adjustment to occur at the beginning of the Calendar year following the first full calendar year of service. For instance, if the agreement is signed in April, year 1, the adjustment would not occur until January of year 3. The adjustments thereafter will be based on the CPI-WU from December of the prior calendar year. Each Annual Fee adjustment shall not be less than two percent (2%) or greater than ten percent (10%).
