unacceptably low technical score will be eliminated from further consideration.
Firms with an acceptable score will be invited to make an oral presentation to the
full Audit Committee, and will be assigned scores based upon their presentation.

opened and additional points will be added to the score based upon the price bid.
The maximum score will be assigned to the firm offering the lowest total all-
inclusive maximum price. Appropriate fractional scores will be assigned to the
other proposers. The City of Colleyville reserves the rights to retain all proposals
submitted, and use any idea in a proposal regardless of whether that proposal is
selected.

March 2018
Economic Commentary Synchronized global growth continued in the fi rst
quarter, but with the added excitement of increased
market volatility. In spite of the generally positive
economic backdrop, fears of runaway infl ation,
rising interest rates, and continued political noise
from Washington led to a sharp selloff in global
equities. The quarter closed as one of the weaker
starts to the year for both credit and equities. During
the course of the quarter, fears of a trade war came
into focus. Potential tariffs by the US, fi rst on steel
and aluminum imports caused the Chinese to
respond by announcing potential tariffs on $3BN
worth of goods ranging from agricultural products
to steel pipes, as well as the EU to respond by
announcing potential tariffs on US imports Harley
Davidson, Levi’s and bourbon whiskey. Later, the
US exempted several allies from the steel and
aluminum tariffs, but suggested it may impose
quotas. Following the initial steel and aluminum
tariffs, the US continued by announcing potential
tariffs on as much as $50 billion of Chinese imports
in a wide variety of categories which were countered
by the Chinese announcing 25% tariffs on $50
billion of various US goods.
In Washington, Congress approved a federal
budget incorporating substantial fi scal stimulus,
which would add $300 billion to the defi cit over the
next two years. The increase in U.S. government
debt issuance needed to fund the tax cuts and
increase in spending, combined with the unwinding
of the Fed’s balance sheet, is expected to put
upward pressure on rates. The front end of the
curve was hit by a large issuance of Treasury bills
as well as the likelihood that there would be four
rate hikes this year by the Federal Reserve Open
Market Committee (FOMC), rather than the three
previously telegraphed, increased as expansionary
fi scal policy in a late-stage business cycle builds
a stronger case for higher infl ation going forward.
Jay Powell became Chair of the Federal Reserve
(Fed) and in his fi rst offi cial FOMC meeting in March
raised rates by 25 bps to 1.50%-1.75%, a move
that widely expected by market participants. The
Fed increased expectations to three rates hikes
in 2019 and two hikes in 2020. Growth forecasts
were upgraded for both 2018 and 2019 to refl ect
the impact of fi scal stimulus, unemployment rate
estimates were brought down through 2020, while
infl ation forecasts were revised higher in 2019
and 2020. Firming U.S. infl ation along with strong
growth, U.S. fiscal expansion, as well as less
accommodative policy stance from central banks
caused Treasury yields to steadily rise.
This information is an excerpt from an economic report dated March 2018 provided to LOGIC by JPMorgan Asset Management, Inc., the investment manager of the LOGIC pool.
*Definition of Weighted Average Maturity (1) & (2)
(1) This weighted average maturity calculation uses the SEC Rule 2a-7 defi nition for stated maturity for any fl oating rate instrument held in the portfolio to determine the weighted average maturity for the pool. This Rule specifi es that a variable rate instrument to be paid in 397 calendar days or less shall be deemed to have a maturity equal to the period remaining until the next readjustment of the interest rate.
(2) This weighted average maturity calculation uses the fi nal maturity of any fl oating rate instruments held in the portfolio to calculate the weighted average maturity for the pool.
Rates refl ect historical information and are not an indication of future performance.

Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas U.S. Economic Update
U.S. Economic Outlook Improves in First Quarter
March 23, 2018
The U.S. economic outlook has slightly improved since
January, owing to strong gross domestic product
(GDP) and employment growth. Forecast GDP growth
has ticked higher as recent changes to federal tax law
have provided fiscal stimulus. Inflation expectations
have remained firmly anchored, with inflation gradual-
ly rising in recent months.
Real GDP Continues Expansion at Year-End 2017
The second release of real (inflation-adjusted) GDP
growth in fourth quarter 2017 stood at 2.5 percent,
down from the initial release of 2.6 percent. Improving
personal consumption expenditures (PCE) and residen-
tial/nonresidential investment contributed the most to
overall GDP growth, while private inventories and net
exports were restraining influences (Chart 1).
Of concern for first-quarter growth are relatively weak
releases of real PCE and real retail sales. Real PCE de-
clined 1.7 percent on an annualized basis during Janu-
ary, a sharp contrast from a 3 percent gain in Decem-
ber, while real retail sales growth slumped to 0.1 per-
cent in February, below consensus estimates. This
weakness explains why the Atlanta Fed’s GDP Nowcast
for first-quarter growth is low. However, both PCE and
retail sales are likely to improve in February and March
as some consumers begin receiving tax refunds.
Survey-based indicators for investment and consump-
tion remain buoyant. The Institute for Supply Manage-
ment (ISM) manufacturing composite index rose from
59.1 in January to 60.8 in February, while the non-
manufacturing composite index declined from 59.9 to
59.5. A reading above 50 indicates expansion. Chart 2
shows ISM nonmanufacturing values since 2014, with
the last two months (highlighted in red) at relatively
high levels. The three-month moving average is also
rising.
The Conference Board’s Consumer Confidence Index
continues increasing, reaching 130.8 in February from
124.3 in January. February’s value is the highest since
November 2000. The University of Michigan’s Consum-
er Sentiment Index also increased, from 99.7 in Febru-
ary to 102.0 in March, both relatively high readings.
Overall, these indicators point to optimism about fu-
ture growth.
Looking forward, real GDP growth is expected to in-
crease each quarter this year, with forecasts moving
higher. Chart 3 shows recent GDP growth on a yearly
basis and comparisons to recent Survey of Professional
Forecasters (SPF) releases. The SPF’s latest release in
February of 2.8 and 2.5 percent year-over-year growth
in 2018 and 2019, respectively, reflects an upward
revision from November’s 2.5 and 2.1 percent.
On a quarterly basis, the SPF’s latest report in February
predicts real GDP growth will reach 3.0 percent in first
quarter 2018 and 2.9 percent in second quarter 2018.

Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas U.S. Economic Update
Solid Employment Growth
Payrolls increased by 313,000 in February, the latest
employment report shows (Chart 4). The result ex-
ceeds consensus estimates, with the headline unem-
ployment (the U-3 rate) remaining at 4.1 percent.
The broader U-6 rate, which includes discouraged
workers, other marginally attached workers and those
working part time for economic reasons, remained at
8.2 percent. The labor force participation rate ticked
upward, from 62.7 percent to 63 percent, but demo-
graphic developments imply a gradual softening in
coming years. The latest SPF release forecasts unem-
ployment to decline further to 3.8 percent in 2019—
levels last seen in early 2000.
Despite the strong employment report, wage growth is
still only softly trending upward. Both the Atlanta Fed’s
wage growth tracker and the noisier average-hourly-
earnings measure have moved slightly higher but re-
main below pre-Great Recession rates. On a year-over-year basis, the wage growth tracker increased from
2.9 percent in December to 3.0 percent in January,
while average hourly earnings declined slightly, from
2.8 percent in January to 2.6 percent in February. In
contrast, the wage growth tracker grew 4.3 percent in
March 2007, prior to the Great Recession, while aver-
age hourly earnings increased 3.4 percent.
Inflation Bottoming Out
Although most inflation measures remain below the
Federal Reserve’s 2 percent target, recent releases
have suggested that inflation has bottomed out and
will trend toward the target rate. Core Consumer Price
Index (CPI) inflation, which excludes food and energy,
was little changed at 1.9 percent on a year-over-year
basis in February (Chart 5).
Core PCE inflation was unchanged at 1.5 percent in
January on a year-over-year basis. Meanwhile, the
Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas’ Trimmed Mean PCE
year-over-year inflation measure was also unchanged,
at 1.7 percent. Overall, Chart 5 shows that inflation
will likely increase.
Inflation expectations remain largely unchanged since
January’s Federal Open Market Committee meeting.
The SPF forecasts core PCE inflation to reach the Fed’s
2 percent target by 2019, while the implied five-year/
five-year-forward (expected average inflation over the
five-year period that begins five years from now) CPI
inflation rate stands at 2.3 percent, up from the previ-
ous forecast of 2.2 percent in November. The five-
year/five-year-forward Treasury inflation-protected
securities (TIPS) breakeven inflation rate, a market-
based measure of expected inflation, stood at 2 per-
cent as of March 19, little changed from January.
