ISS system, Query Central and any tools available to confirm carriers operating authority,
jumping of OOS orders and violation history before conducting an appropriate Level of a
CVSA inspection. If the information is not available roadside during a CVSA inspection
the officer will contact the local FMCSA office to verify operating authority in order to
ensure appropriate action is taken. Commercial Driver Licenses are verified through the
National Law Enforcement Telecommunication System (NLETS) or Washington State's
Department of Licensing.

inspections per year in order to maintain certification. WSP reserves the right to remove
all related software if the required numbers of inspections are not met.

Exhibit B
ASPEN Responsibilities
1. Introduction. ASPEN was developed to facilitate electronic roadside safety inspections
of commercial vehicles and drivers. It provides users with current information about the
carrier, an inspection recommendation based on the carrier's safety and accident history,
and computer assisted data entry procedures for conducting inspections. The Safety and
Fitness Electronic Records System (SAFER) provides information to keep ASPEN users
current by identifying changes to carrier information from MCMIS; it also provides a
mechanism to electronically transfer inspections reports from roadside ASPEN units to
SAFER for input into WSP's SAFETYNET and MCMIS.
2. Scope of Work. The parties to this Agreement agree to the following:
a. FWPD Responsibilities.
1) Administration. FWPD shall designate a computer (IT) specialist to administer
FWPD's use of ASPEN, SAFER and related software and equipment. The IT
specialist shall obtain a User Authentication System (UAS) account from WSP for
purposes of downloading FWPD's own ASPEN/ Inspection Selection System (ISS)
updates. FWPD shall maintain software and hardware to keep it compatible with
ASPEN and SAFER; resolve software and hardware problems that its officers
may encounter with the program; set up software to make it FWPD- specific;
update computers with new versions of the software as it is released; and update
computers with new editions of the ISS and any other add -on programs required
by SAFER or ASPEN in accordance with timelines, if any, provided by FMCSA or
the WSP. FWPD shall also resolve download and data entry problems after
FWPD officers submit their inspections to SAFER; and safeguard FWPD ASPEN
manager's password to assure data integrity.
2) Training. FWPD's ASPEN computer specialist and all FWPD officers using
ASPEN shall attend at least two hours of ASPEN - related training conducted by
WSP. FWPD shall be responsible for providing any necessary training
subsequent to this initial training provided by WSP. FWPD will correspond with
the WSP's Commercial Vehicle Division's (CVD) Computer Support group
supervisor to arrange the time and location for the Administrator and End -User
training.
3) Data Transfer. FWPD officers using ASPEN shall upload inspection reports to
SAFER on a daily basis. If FWPD experiences delays with the transfer due to
equipment failure /phone line failure, FWPD will inform the WSP's Commercial
Vehicle Division Computer Support Supervisor.
b. WSP Responsibilities.
1) Administration. The WSP will provide at least one Commercial Vehicle
Enforcement Officer (CVEO) to provide in- the -field training to FWPD personnel.
The WSP's CVD computer support group will be responsible for providing FWPD
with an ASPEN user's identification number. WSP's Commercial Vehicle Division
Computer Support Supervisor will work with FWPD's technical representative to
arrange a date for initial installation and training of the ASPEN and ISS applications.
Page 6 of 8
2) Software Distribution. WSP shall provide to FWPD one initial installation copy
each of the current versions of ASPEN and ISS software. FWPD shall be
responsible for obtaining newer versions of this software as they become
available. Software is available on the FMCSA website; if any critical software is
unavailable on the website, upon request, WSP shall provide that data to the
designated IT specialist to update FWPD's ASPEN Programs.
3) Training. WSP shall conduct one initial ASPEN /ISS training class for FWPD
ASPEN computer specialist and up to five FWPD officers. All subsequent training
will be the responsibility of FWPD.
3. ASPEN Equipment.
a. Equipment Reimbursement. FWPD is responsible for providing the computer equipment
necessary for FWPD to perform CMV inspections. Subject to available funding and solely
at WSP's option, FWPD may receive reimbursement from WSP to provide initial computer
equipment for each CVSA certified FWPD officer to aid in the purchase of the necessary
computer equipment. FWPD is responsible for all computer equipment they use under this
Agreement; and to ensure that the ASPEN and ISS applications coexist effectively with
other possible applications on their computers.
b. Title and Use of Equipment. Upon successful completion of the terms of this
Agreement, all equipment purchased by FWPD with Agreement funds will be owned by
FWPD. FWPD shall be responsible for any and all operation, maintenance,
replacement, and for the safe operation of such equipment, including all questions of
liability.
c. Equipment Management. If WSP reimburses FWPD for the purchase of equipment
associated with this Agreement, FWPD shall manage that equipment according to the
following:
1) Equipment Records. FWPD shall maintain equipment records that include: a
description of the equipment; the manufacturer's serial number, model number, or
other identification number; the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA)
number 20.218 or other CFDA number provided by WSP; who holds title; the
acquisition date; the cost of the equipment and the percentage of federal participation
in the cost; the location, use and condition of the equipment at the date the
information was reported; and disposition data including the date of disposal and sale
price of the equipment. Equipment records shall be retained by FWPD for a period of
six (6) years from the date of the disposition, replacement or transfer. If any litigation,
claim, or audit is started before the expiration of the six year period, the records shall
be retained by FWPD until all litigations, claims, or audit findings involving the records
have been resolved.
2) Inventories. FWPD shall take a physical inventory of the equipment and reconcile the
results with the property records at least once every two years. Any differences
between quantities determined by the physical inspection and those shown in the
records shall be investigated by FWPD to determine the cause of the difference.
FWPD shall, in connection with the inventory, verify the existence, current utilization,
and continued need for the equipment. FWPD shall develop a control system to
ensure adequate safeguards to prevent loss, damage, and theft of the property. Any
loss, damage or theft shall be investigated and a report generated. FWPD will
develop adequate maintenance procedures to keep the property in good condition.
3) Disposition of Equipment. If FWPD is authorized or required to sell the property,
Page 7 of 8
proper sales procedures must be established to ensure the highest possible return.
When original or replacement equipment is no longer needed for the original project
or program or for other activities currently or previously supported by a federal
FWPD, items of equipment with a current per -unit fair market value of less than
$5,000 may be retained, sold or otherwise disposed of by FWPD with no further
obligation to WSP or the awarding FWPD.

VIA: Jim Ferrell, Mayor
FROM: Andy J. Hwang, Chief of Police
SUBJECT: Interagency Agreement between Washington State Patrol and the Federal Way
Police Department on Commercial Motor Vehicle Inspections
In January 2010, Federal Way Police Officers completed the Washington State Patrol (WSP)
Commercial Enforcement Academy. This is specialized training to have a significant impact
upon commercial vehicle enforcement issues in our city. In 2010 an agreement was entered into
with WSP to maximize the utilization of commercial vehicle, driver and cargo inspection
resources, avoid duplication of effort and expand the number of inspections performed.
This new agreement is updated and will confirm the Federal Way Police Department's continued
support of the Commercial Motor Vehicle Inspections. Currently, we have one officer certified
to complete inspections.
