RE: Audit Services Contract Extension – Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 2022 Dear Mr. Jones:
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the confidence and support the City of Arvin (the “City”) has provided to us over the past years and present this letter for your consideration regarding extending The Pun Group, LLP’s contract with the City.
We have developed an understanding of the City’s operations that has aided us in providing quality Audit Services. With that knowledge, we have been able to expand our audit efforts and provide observations that have assisted the City’s staff. We have also demonstrated our ability to respond to requests of the City and our ability to deliver quality services. It is our understanding the City of Arvin has been satisfied with our efforts.
We would like to propose an extension of our Audit Services contract to include the Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 2022. The objective of our audits is to issue an opinion regarding the fairness of the presentation of the City’s financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The proposed total all-inclusive maximum price breakdown is presented as follows:
Cost Breakdown for Services Performed in Connection With: Total (2) City Audit and Related Reports $ 41,403
Single Audit and Related Reports (1 Major Program) (1) $ 3,864 Cities Financial Transactions Report $ 1,656
Transit Operations' Financial Transactions Report $ 553 Total for Fiscal Year (Not-to-Exceed) (2) $ 47,476
(1) Single Audit fee includes up to one (1) major program. Fees for auditing additional major programs will be $4,000 each. The number of programs determined to be “major” will be based on OMB Uniform Guidance. The Engagement Team will discuss this with the City’s Management before starting Single Audit work.
(2) Supplemental reports, audits, or agreed-upon procedures must be added in a written agreement prior to commencing audit work. The Firm and the City will discuss and approve the scope and associated costs of these tasks.
If the City agrees with the foregoing, please sign the copy of this letter in the space provided and return it to us.
We would very much like to continue our relationship with the City of Arvin and stand ready to provide the level of service and commitment to which the City has become accustomed. If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at (949) 777-8801.
Sincerely,

BACKGROUND:
This statement is intended to provide a guideline for the prudent investment of funds and to outline the policies for maximizing the efficiency of the City of Arvin and its components units (“Entity”) cash management system. The ultimate goal is to enhance the economic status of the City while protecting its pooled funds. This investment policy has been prepared so as to be in conformance with all pertinent existing laws of the State of California for General Law cities.

OBJECTIVE:
The goal of the City’s investment policy is to enable the City to invest funds to enhance the economic status while protecting its pooled cash. The city attempts to obtain a market rate of interest without assuming undue risk to principal. The objective of such investments is:
1) preservation of capital with maintenance of liquidity ; and 2) a competitive rate of return.
DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY:
The authority of the legislative body to invest or to reinvest funds of the Entity is delegated to the City Finance Director in accordance with State Statutes.
INVESTMENT RESPONSIBILITY / REPORTING:
Investments are the responsibility of the City Finance Director. He shall be responsible for reporting the status of investments to the City Council and the City Manager on a quarterly basis.
In addition, to be in compliance with the California Government Code, a report will be submitted to City Council not later than thirty (30) days after the end of the quarter which shows the type of investment, institution, cost, par, market value, interest rate, date of maturity, and source of market value for all investments of more than twelve months. The report will contain a certification regarding the compliance of investments with the Entity’s investment policy and disclosure regarding the availability to provide sufficient liquidity to meet six months of estimated expenditures.

The standard of prudence to be applied by the City Finance Director shall be the “prudent investor” rule, which states, “Investments shall be made with judgment and care, under circumstances then prevailing, which persons of prudence description and intelligence exercise in the management of their own affairs, not for speculation, but for investment, considering the probable safety of their capital, as well as the probable income to be derived.” The prudent investor rule shall be applied in the context of managing the overall portfolio.
INVESTMENT CRITERIA:
Criteria for selecting investments and the order of priority are:
1. SAFETY
The safety and risk associated with an investment refers to the potential loss of principal, interest or a combination of these amounts. The City only operates in those investments that are considered secure.
2. LIQUIDITY
This refers to the ability to “cash in” at any moment in time with a minimal chance of losing some portion of principal or interest. Liquidity is an important investment quality especially when the need for unexpected funds occurs occasionally.
3. YIELD
Yield is the potential dollar earnings an investment can provide and sometimes is described as the rate of return.
INVESTMENT INSTRUMENTS:
California cities may invest in any instrument allowable under current legislation of the State of California (Government Code Section 53600 et al.) so long as the investment is appropriate when the City’s investment objectives and policies are taken into consideration. Please see the attached proposed City of Arvin 2022-2023 Investment Policy for specifics.

1. Policy
This statement is intended to establish the policies for prudent investment of the City of Arvin ("City") funds, and to provide guidelines for suitable investments.
It shall be the policy of the City to invest public funds not required for immediate day-to-day operations securely and in such a manner as to comply with federal, state and local laws, ensure prudent money management, and meet the objectives of this Investment Policy ("Policy"), in priority order of safety, liquidity and return on investment.
In the event of any conflict between this policy and the municipal code, the provisions of the municipal code shall govern.
On June 9, 2020 the City Council appointed the Finance Director as the Treasurer of the City of Arvin.
2. Scope
This investment Policy applies to all investment activities and financial assets of the City. The funds covered by this policy are accounted for and incorporated in the City's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report C'CAFR"), and include but are not limited to:
General Fund
Special Revenue Funds
Capital Projects Funds
Enterprise Funds
Any new fund created and approved by the City Council.
3. Prudence
In accordance with California Government Code ("CGC") §53600.3, the Treasurer and/or his designee, who are authorized to make investment decisions on the City's behalf, are trustees and therefore fiduciaries subject to the "prudent investor standard":
"When investing, reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring, exchanging, selling, or managing public funds, a trustee shall act with the care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing, including, but not limited to, the general economic conditions and the anticipated needs of the agency, that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiarity with those matters would use in the conduct of funds of a like character and with like aims, to safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity needs of the agency."
Indemnification of Investment Officials
Investment officers acting in accordance with written procedures and the City's investment policy and exercising due diligence and prudence shall be relieved of personal liability for an individual security credit risk or market price changes, provided that deviations from expectations are reported in a timely fashion, and appropriate action is taken to control adverse developments.
4.E.3
Attachment: City of Arvin Investment Policy FY 2022-2023 (City of Arvin Investment Policy FY 22-23) Fiscal Year2021-22 City of Arvin Investment Policy 06/21/2021 Fiscal Year 2022-23
4. Investment Objectives
The City's primary investment objectives, in order of priority, are (1) safety - the preservation of principal, (2) liquidity - maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet its cash flow needs, and (3) yield - achieving a reasonable rate of return on public funds, while minimizing the potential for capital losses.
A. Safety: Preservation of principal is the foremost objective of the investment program.
Investments shall be undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure the preservation of capital in the overall portfolio. The objective is to mitigate credit or default risk, interest rate risk and market risk, as summarized below.
Credit or Default Risk- The risk of loss due to the failure of the security issuer and/or guarantor, or backer, may be mitigated by:
Limiting purchases to the safest types of investments, Diversifying the investment portfolio among a variety of securities offering independent returns to minimize any potential losses on individual securities, Avoiding the concentration of investments in any one specific security type or asset class, in any one financial institution, or in any one specific geographic area or industry, Pre-qualifying financial institutions, brokers/dealers, intermediaries, and advisers with which the City does business and ensuring competitive transaction pricing.
Interest Rate Risk- The risk that the market value of securities will fall as interest rates rise in the general market may be mitigated by:
Holding individual securities to maturity: i.e. structuring the investment portfolio to match the timing of cash requirements for ongoing operations, thereby avoiding the need to sell securities on the open market prior to maturity; Employing a laddering strategy: i.e. staggering maturities of individual securities to provide incremental liquidity over a time horizon;
Investing an appropriate level of operating funds in money market mutual funds, or similar investment pools, which provide for same or next day access to cash.
Market Risk - The risk of market value fluctuations or volatility may be mitigated by:
Purchasing securities which are readily tradable in active secondary markets, rather than in thinly traded markets;
Maintaining prudent duration levels;
Staggering investment maturity dates over a desired overall duration target.
B. Liquidity: The investment portfolio shall remain sufficiently liquid to meet all reasonably anticipated operating requirements. This is accomplished by structuring the portfolio so that securities mature concurrently with the anticipated operational demands. Furthermore, since
4.E.3
Attachment: City of Arvin Investment Policy FY 2022-2023 (City of Arvin Investment Policy FY 22-23) Fiscal Year2021-22 City of Arvin Investment Policy 06/21/2021 Fiscal Year 2022-23 all possible cash demands cannot be anticipated, it is recommended that a portion of the portfolio consist of money market mutual funds or local government investment pools that offer same-day liquidity for short-term funds, and/or securities with active secondary or resale markets.
C. Yield: The investment portfolio shall be designed with the objective of attaining a market rate of return throughout the budgetary and economic cycles, taking into account the investment risk constraints and liquidity needs. Return on investment is of secondary importance compared to the safety and liquidity objectives described above. The core of investments is limited to relatively low risk securities in anticipation of earning a fair return relative to the risk being assumed. In so far as the City generally maintains a "Buyand-Hold" investment posture (one that avoids disposing of security positions prior to scheduled maturity) securities shall not be sold prior to maturity with the following exceptions:
A declining credit security which could be sold early to minimize loss of principal; Liquidity needs of the portfolio that require the security be sold; A capital gain that would be realized to better position the overall portfolio to achieve investment policy goals.
5. Delegation of Authority
The City Council, as permitted under CGC §53607, delegates the responsibility to invest or reinvest City funds, or to sell or exchange securities so purchased, to the City Treasurer ("Treasurer"). Under the oversight of the Treasurer, responsibility of the operation of the investment program may be explicitly delegated to the Finance Director or City Manager who shall act in accordance with established written procedures and internal controls consistent with this policy. No person may engage in an investment transaction except as provided under the terms of this Policy and the investment procedures established by the Treasurer and approved by the Finance Director.
6. Ethics and Conflicts of Interest
Officers and employees involved in the investment process shall refrain from personal business activity that could conflict with proper execution of the investment program or could impair their ability to make impartial investment decisions. City employees involved in the investment process shall disclose to the City Manager any material financial interest in financial institutions that conduct business within the jurisdiction. They shall further disclose any personal financial/investment positions that could be related to the performance of the investment portfolio. Officers shall refrain from

These disclosure requirements shall include complying with the disclosure requirements as established by the Fair Political Practices Commission and Conflict of Interest Codes of the City.
7.Authorized Financial Dealers and Institutions
The Treasurer, in coordination with the Finance Director, shall maintain a list of approved financial institutions authorized to provide investment services to public agencies in the State of California. These may include '"primary" dealers or regional dealers that qualify under Securities & Exchange Commission Rule 15C3-1 (uniform net capital rule). Deposits shall only be made in a qualified public depository as allowed under State Statute. In selecting financial institutions for the deposit or investment of City funds, the Treasurer will consider the credit rating of the institutions.
All financial institutions and broker/dealers who desire to become qualified bidders for investment transactions must supply the City Treasurer and Finance Director with the following:
Audited financial statements;
Proof of FINRA certification;
Trading Resolution;
Proof of State of California registration;
Completed broker/dealer questionnaire;
Written annual certification agreeing to abide by the City's investment policy and depository contracts.
An annual review of the financial condition and registrations of qualified bidders may be conducted by the City Treasurer or designee. As part of any review performed, a current audited financial statement will be obtained for those financial institutions and brokers/dealers subject to review. Whenever reasonable a competitive bid process, utilizing a minimum of two financial institutions deemed eligible by the Treasurer, will be used to place investment purchases. The City shall transact business only with banks, savings and loans, and with brokers/dealers approved by the Treasurer or designee.

o Zero Interest Coupon Securities
9. Review of Investment Portfolio
The City's investment portfolio must be in compliance with Section 8 of this Policy at the time an investment is purchased. However, it is possible that, subsequently, the portfolio may be in breach of compliance even without any purchase activity due to a downgrade in a security's ratings, redemptions or maturities resulting in exceeding stipulated maximum percentages of a particular investment type, fluctuation in total portfolio size, or a change in California Government Code.
The portfolio shall be monitored, as often as practical, but at least quarterly. The Treasurer shall report any major and critical incidences of portfolio non-compliance either with statutes or Policy to the City Council and provide recommendations to remedy at least quarterly.
10. Investment Pools/Mutual Funds
A thorough investigation of any government sponsored pool and/or mutual fund is required prior to investing and on a continual basis. There shall be a questionnaire developed which will answer the following general questions:
• A description of eligible investment securities, and a written statement of investment policy and objectives.
• A description of how interest is calculated and distributed, and how gains and losses are treated.
• A description of how the securities are safeguarded (including the settlement processes),and how often the securities are priced and the program audited. • A description of who may invest in the program, how often, and what size of deposits and withdrawals are allowed.
• A schedule for receiving statements and portfolio listings. • Are reserves or retained earnings utilized?
• A fee schedule, and method for assessing fee
• Does the pool accept bond proceeds?
11. Collateralization
Collateralization will be required on two types of investments: certificates of deposit and repurchase agreements. In order to anticipate market changes and provide a level of security for all funds, the collateralization level for certificates of deposit will be 110% of market value of principal and accrued interest. Collateralization level for repurchase agreements shall be 102% of market value of principal and accrued interest. Collateral can be either U.S. Treasury securities or Federal Agency securities.
Section 53649 of the California Government Code specifies that the City Treasurer is responsible for entering into the deposit contracts with each depository. Investments held with third parties

Attachment: City of Arvin Investment Policy FY 2022-2023 (City of Arvin Investment Policy FY 22-23) Fiscal Year2021-22 City of Arvin Investment Policy 06/21/2021 Fiscal Year 2022-23 holding collateral shall be properly collateralized in accordance with collateralization requirements of the California Government Code.
12. Safekeeping and Custody
A. Delivery vs. Payment: All security transactions entered into by the City shall be conducted on a "delivery vs. payment" (DVP) basis. The DVP basis for delivery applies also to the delivery and safekeeping of repurchase agreement collateral. Any exception to this standard delivery practice, e.g. a DVP failure necessitating delivery other than by simultaneous exchange, will require written procedural approval by the City Treasurer.
B. Custody: To protect against fraud and embezzlement, the investment securities of the City shall be held by a third party custodian according to established safekeeping procedures.
To protect against potential losses caused by the collapse of individual securities dealers, all securities owned by the City, including collateral on repurchase agreements, shall be held in safekeeping by the City's custodian bank or a third party bank trust department, acting as agent for the City under the terms of a custody or trustee agreement executed by the bank and by the City. Custody will be evidenced by safekeeping receipts.
13. Diversification
The City will diversify its investments by security type, issuer, credit risk profile, financial institution and maturity. See Section 8 for limitations by category on the investment of City funds. Maturities shall be selected which provide for stability of income and reasonable liquidity.
Risks of market price volatility shall be controlled through maturity and issuer diversification.
In order to reduce portfolio risk, the City's portfolio will be diversified by type and issuer. The portfolio shall be diversified to avoid incurring unreasonable and avoidable risks regarding specific security types or individual financial institutions. The City shall diversify its investments by investing funds among a variety of securities offering independent returns and financial institutions. In a diversified portfolio, occasional measured losses are inevitable, and must be considered within the context of the overall portfolio's investment return.
14. Maximum Maturities
To the extent possible, the City shall attempt to match its investments to anticipated cash flow requirements. The Treasurer will not directly invest in securities maturing more than five (5) years from the date of purchase or in accordance with government statute. The weighted average maturity (or duration) of the pooled portfolio shall reflect the liquidity needs and risk profile that the Treasurer deems appropriate. It is intended that all investments will be held to maturity to avoid possible capital loss.
15. Internal Controls
The Finance Director is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of internal controls to ensure that City assets are protected from loss arising from fraud, employee error, imprudent actions, theft or misuse, and to ensure compliance with this Policy, City-mandated procedures and federal and state laws.
4.E.3
Attachment: City of Arvin Investment Policy FY 2022-2023 (City of Arvin Investment Policy FY 22-23) Fiscal Year2021-22 City of Arvin Investment Policy 06/21/2021 Fiscal Year 2022-23 An internal control structure should include written procedures that encompass the following principles:
• Segregation of duties,
• Explicit delegation of authority and responsibility
• Timely reconciliation and balancing,
• Documentation, recording, and record keeping,
• Management control and oversight,
• Dual or secondary authorization.
The control structure should cover timely projections of cash flow and funding needs, cash collection and disbursements, wire transfers, anti-theft and anti-fraud practices, depository and custody services, collateral management, broker/dealer services, trading and confirmation, and master repurchase agreements (if appropriate).
It should be designed to provide reasonable assurance that these objectives are met. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that (1) the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived, and (2) the valuation of costs and benefits requires estimates and judgments by management.
The Finance Director shall establish an annual process for independent review of these controls, including cash and investment testing, by an external auditor. This review will help to ensure compliance with the City's investment policies and procedures.
16. Performance Standards
The investment portfolio shall be designed with the objective of principal preservation, liquidity and obtaining a rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, commensurate with the investment risk constraints and the cash flow needs.
The City's investment strategy is passive, i.e. securities are purchased with the intent to hold to maturity. Given this strategy and given that the portfolio strategy may change over time due to the City's cash flow needs or due to market conditions, the Treasurer shall select an appropriate benchmark approximating the portfolio's weighted average maturity or select an appropriate combination of benchmarks that reflects the portfolio composition. The Treasurer shall compare the portfolio's total return annually against the appropriate benchmark to determine whether market yields are being achieved.
17. Reporting
Quarterly Reports
The Treasurer shall prepare a quarterly investment report to the City Council and City Manager within 30 days of the end of the quarter, in accordance with CGC Section 53646. Reports may be rendered more frequently at the discretion of the Treasurer or upon request by the City Council or

Annual Report
Annually there shall be provided to the City Council and City Manager a report on the performance of the investment program. The report shall include a narrative discussion of the performance of the investment portfolio.

Another concern for investors is that the market's perception of an issuer/borrower's credit will cause the market value of a security to fall, even if default is not expected.
Custodian: A bank or other financial institution that keeps custody of stock certificates and other assets.
Dealer: Someone who acts as a principal in all transactions, including underwriting, buying, and selling securities, including from his/her own account.
Default Risk: The risk that issuers/borrowers will be unable to make the required payments on their debt obligations.
Delivery vs. Payment: The payment of cash for securities as they are delivered and accepted for settlement.
Diversification: The allocation of different types of assets in a portfolio to mitigate risks and improve overall portfolio performance.
Duration: Indicator of the effect of an interest rate change on a bond price. The longer the duration, the greater the expected change in a portfolio's value when interest rates change.
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC): A federal agency that insures bank deposits, currently up to $250,000 per entity.
Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA): FINRA is the successor to the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD) and the member regulation, enforcement and arbitration operations of the New York Stock Exchange.

The government agency which acts as the ultimate regulator of the securities industry, including FINRA, is the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Government Sponsored Enterprises (GSE): Privately held corporations with public purposes created by the U.S. Congress to reduce the cost of capital for certain borrowing sectors of the economy. Securities issued by GSEs carry the implicit backing of the U.S. Government, but they are not direct obligations of the U.S. Government. For this reason, these securities will offer a yield premium over Treasuries.
Interest: The amount a borrower pays to a lender for the use of his or her money.
Interest Rate Risk: Interest rate risk is the risk that an investment's value will change due to a change in the absolute level of interest rates, spread between two rates, shape of the yield curve, or any other interest rate relationship.
Liquidity: The measure of the ability to convert an instrument to cash on a given date at full face or par value.
Liquidity Risk: The risk that a security, sold prior to maturity, will be sold at a loss of value. For a local agency, the liquidity risk of an individual investment may not be as critical as how the overall liquidity of the portfolio allows the agency to meet its cash needs.
Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF): A voluntary investment fund open to government entities and certain non-profit organizations in California that is managed by the State Treasurer's Office.

In general, as interest rates fall, prices of fixed income securities rise. Similarly, as interest rates rise, prices fall. Market risk also is referred to as systematic risk or risk that affects all securities within an asset class similarly.
Market Value: The price at which a security is trading and presumably could be purchased or sold at a particular point in time.
Master Repurchase Agreement: A written contract covering all future transactions between the parties to repurchase/reverse repurchase agreements that establishes each party's rights in the transactions. A master agreement will often specify, among other things, the right of the buyer/lender to liquidate the underlying securities in the event of default by the seller/borrower.
Maturity: The date on which the principal or stated value of an investment becomes due and payable.
Medium Term Note: Corporate or depository institution debt securities meeting certain minimum quality standards (as specified in the California Government Code) with a remaining maturity of five years or less.

Jeff Jones, City Manager
SUBJECT: Kern County Sheriff's Office-Work Release Program BACKGROUND:
Kern County Sheriff's Office-Work Release Program
The Work Release Program, administered by the Kern County Sheriff’s Office, offers an alternative to serving time in the county jail for sentenced, minor offenders. Workers who volunteer in this program, with the approval of the sentencing court, contribute to the mutual benefit for the City of Arvin and the citizens of Kern County.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff is recommending that the City Council renew its support and authorize the city’s participation in this program by approving the attached Agreement for Participation in Work Release Program and authorize the Chief of Police to execute the Agreement.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This program does not require financial commitment on our behalf. The presence and contributions of the workers will extend the efforts of our Public Works Department at the cost of an onsite supervisor. In the event a worker is injured, the city is liable to the worker for medical expenses and claims as cited in section G. of the Agreement for Participation in Work Release Program.

FROM: Diana Orozco Deniz, P.E., Interim City Engineer
Jeff Jones, City Manager
SUBJECT: Approval of A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Arvin to Approve a Public Works Agreement with J.L. Plank Inc DBA Cen-Cal Construction for the Langford Avenue Sidewalk & Paving Project and to Authorize the Mayor to Execute the Agreement.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Arvin submitted an application to the Kern Council of Governments in 2017 soliciting funds from the Transportation Development Act Article 3 Program (TDA) which is a federal funding source from the Federal Highway Administration that is administered within the state through Caltrans and in conjunction with Kern COG. The application was developed and submitted by the city, and a total of $270,000.00 was awarded and $43,200.00 was identified as the local match share of the cost required of the city. Following the award of the grant funding, the City developed plans and specifications for the construction of a sidewalk, curb and gutter, ADA curb ramp, paving and crosswalks. Said plans were completed by the City of Arvin in March of 2022.
The project was issued for bids on March 23rd, 2022 through Planet Bids, and bids were due to the City on April 27, 2022. A total of 3 bids were received ranging from $199,775.00 to $266,889.00. The apparent low bidder was J.L. Plank Inc DBA Cen-Cal Construction. Following the receipt of the bids, the City Engineer looked through all bids in detail for errors and omissions, checked licenses of each contractor, and looked through Department of Industrial Relations resources to make sure no claims existed against any contractor not disclosed in the bid documents. Through this process, the bid received from J.L. Plank Inc DBA Cen-Cal Construction was determined to be complete and responsive, and staff determined that it would be appropriate to award an agreement to J.L. Plank Inc DBA Cen-Cal Construction for the full amount of the base bid for a total cost of $199,775.00.
Over the last several weeks, city staff has been working with J.L. Plank Inc DBA Cen-Cal Construction and the City Attorney on the form of the agreement and have arrived at the attached proposed agreement that staff recommends that the City Council approve and authorize the execution of on the part of the Mayor and City Manager. Furthermore, as outlined in the proposed agreement, the City Manager or their designee will be able to execute change orders for this project.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The list below shows the breakdown of TDA funding for this project:
4.H.1
Attachment: Staff Report Cen-Cal Construction Agmt_Langford Sidewalk and Pavement Project_052422 [Revision 1] (Agreement with Cen-Cal The total agreement with J.L. Plank Inc DBA Cen-Cal Construction will be for $199,775.00.
Any match funds will likely be charged to TDA funds since the project cost is well below the funding provided. SB1 funds are also available to the City that can be used for match funds for roads projects if necessary. However, it is unlikely that these funds will be used.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the following:
1) Approval of a public works agreement with J.L. Plank Inc DBA Cen-Cal Construction for $199,775.00.
2) Authorize the Mayor to execute said agreement.

(b) City shall promptly investigate the conditions, and if it finds that the conditions do materially differ, or do involve hazardous waste, and cause a decrease or increase in Contractor’s cost of, or the time required for, the performance of any part of the work, the City shall issue a change order in accordance with Section 1.11 of this Agreement. (c) In the event that a dispute arises between City and Contractor whether the conditions materially differ, or involve hazardous waste, or cause a decrease or increase in

Contractor's cost of, or time required for, performance of any part of the work, Contractor shall not be excused from any scheduled completion date set, but shall proceed with all work to be performed under this Agreement.

Nothing herein shall be deemed to require City to indicate the presence of existing service laterals or appurtenances whenever the presence of such utilities on the Project site can be inferred from the presence of other visible facilities, such as buildings, meters, and junction boxes, on or adjacent to the Project site of the construction; provided, however, nothing herein shall relieve City from identifying main or trunklines in the plans and specifications. If Contractor, while performing the work, discovers utility facilities not identified by City in the plans or specifications, Contractor shall immediately notify City and the utility in writing.

If the plan varies from the shoring system standards, the plan shall be prepared by a registered civil or structural engineer. This Section 1.8 shall not be deemed to allow the use of a shoring, sloping, or protective system less effective than that required by the Construction Safety Orders (set forth in the California Code of Regulations, Title 8, Subchapter 4). This Section 1.8 shall not be construed to impose tort liability on the City or any of its employees. Full compensation for sheeting, shoring, bracing, sloping, and all other provisions required for worker protection shall be considered as included in the contract price shown in the appropriate Bid item in the Contract Documents, and no additional compensation will be allowed therefor.
1.9 Protection and Care of Work and Materials.
The Contractor shall adopt reasonable methods, including providing and maintaining storage facilities, during the life of this Agreement to furnish continuous protection to the work, and the equipment, materials, papers, documents, plans, studies and/or other components thereof to prevent losses or damages, and shall be responsible for all such damages, to persons or property, until acceptance of the work by City, except such losses or damages as caused by City’s own negligence. Stored materials shall be reasonably accessible for inspection. Contractor shall not,

without City’s consent, assign, sell, mortgage, hypothecate, or remove equipment or materials which have been installed or delivered and which may be necessary for the completion of the work.
1.10 Warranty.
Contractor warrants all work under this Agreement (which for purposes of this Section shall be deemed to include unauthorized work which has not been removed or corrected and any non-conforming construction or materials incorporated into the work) to be of good quality and free from any defective or faulty material and workmanship. Contractor agrees that for a period of one year (or the period of time specified elsewhere in this Agreement, or the Contract Documents, or in any guarantee or warranty provided by any manufacturer or supplier of equipment or materials incorporated into the work, whichever is later) after the date of final acceptance of the Project by the City, Contractor shall within ten (10) days after being notified in writing by the City of any defect in the work or non-conformance of the work to the requirements under this Agreement, commence and prosecute with due diligence all work necessary to fulfill the terms of the warranty at its sole cost and expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Contractor shall act as soon as requested by the City in response to any emergency condition or situation. In addition, Contractor shall, at its sole cost and expense, repair, remove and replace any portions of the work (or work of its subcontractors) damaged by its defective work or which becomes damaged in the course of repairing or replacing defective work. For any work so corrected, Contractor's obligation hereunder to correct defective work shall be reinstated for an additional one year period, commencing with the date of acceptance of such corrected work. Contractor shall perform such tests as the City may require to verify that any corrective actions, including, without limitation, redesign, repairs, and replacements comply with the requirements of this Agreement. All costs associated with such corrective actions and testing, including the removal, replacement, and reinstitution of equipment and materials necessary to gain access, shall be the sole responsibility of the Contractor. All warranties and guarantees of subcontractors, suppliers, and manufacturers with respect to any portion of the work, whether express or implied, are deemed to be obtained by Contractor for the benefit of the City, regardless of whether or not such warranties and guarantees have been transferred or assigned to the City by separate agreement and Contractor agrees to enforce such warranties and guarantees, if necessary, on behalf of the City. In the event that Contractor fails to perform its obligations under this Section, or under any other warranty or guaranty under this Agreement or the Contract Documents, to the reasonable satisfaction of the City, the City shall have the right to correct and replace any defective or non-conforming work or materials at Contractor's sole expense. Contractor shall be obligated to fully reimburse the City for any expenses incurred hereunder upon demand.

The Project Manager shall ascertain the facts and the extent of delay, and extend the time for performing the services for the period of the enforced delay when and if in the judgment of the Project Manager such delay is justified. The Project Manager’s determination shall be final and conclusive upon the parties to this Agreement. In no event shall Contractor be entitled to recover damages against the City for any delay in the performance of this Agreement, however caused, Contractor’s sole remedy being extension of this Agreement pursuant to this Section.
3.3 Liquidated Damages.
Since the determination of actual damages for any delay in performance of this Agreement would be extremely difficult or impractical to determine in the event of a breach of this Agreement, the Contractor and its sureties shall be liable for and shall pay to the City the sum of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS AND ZERO CENTS ($1,000.00) as liquidated damages for each working day of delay in the performance of any service required hereunder. The City may withhold any accrued liquidated damages from any monies payable on account of services performed by the Contractor. To the extent required by Government Code Section 4215, Contractor shall not be assessed liquidated damages for delay in completion of the work when such delay was caused by the failure of the City or owner of the utility to provide for removal or relocation of utility facilities.
3.4 Inspection and Final Acceptance.
City may inspect and accept or reject any of Contractor’s work under this Agreement, either during performance or when completed. If City finds that Contractor’s work does not meet the requirements and standards provided in the Bid Document, Contractor shall remedy any defects in the work at Contractor’s sole expense following notice by the City. City shall accept work by a timely written acceptance, otherwise work shall be deemed to have been rejected. City’s acceptance shall be conclusive as to such work except with respect to latent defects, fraud and such gross mistakes as to amount to fraud. Acceptance of any work by City shall not constitute a waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement including, but not limited to, Articles 1 and 5, pertaining to warranty and indemnification and insurance, respectively.

For purposes of this Section, mediation includes any nonbinding process, including, but not limited to, neutral evaluation or a dispute review board, in which an independent third Party or board assists the Parties in dispute resolution through negotiation or by issuance of an evaluation. Any mediation utilized shall conform to the timeframes in this Section. iii. Unless otherwise agreed to by the City and the Contractor in writing, the mediation conducted pursuant to this Section shall excuse any further obligation under Public Contract Code Section 20104.4 to mediate after litigation has been commenced. iv. All unresolved claims shall be considered jointly in a single mediation, unless a new unrelated claim arises after mediation is completed. (g) City’s Responses. The City’s failure to respond to a claim from the Contractor within the time periods described in this Section or to otherwise meet the time requirements of this Section shall result in the claim being deemed rejected in its entirety. A claim

Attachment: Agreement_Cen-Cal Construction_Langford Sidewalk and Pavement Project_052422 (Agreement with Cen-Cal Construction for -21-
that is denied by reason of the City’s failure to have responded to a claim, or its failure to otherwise meet the time requirements of this Section, shall not constitute and adverse finding with regard to the merits of the claim or the responsibility of qualifications of the Contractor. City’s failure to respond shall not waive City’s rights to any subsequent procedures for the resolution of disputed claims.
(h) Government Code Claims. If following the mediation, the claim or any portion remains in dispute, the Contractor must comply with the claim procedures set forth in Government Code Section 900 et seq. prior to filing any lawsuit against the City. Such Government Code claims and any subsequent lawsuit based upon the Government Code claims shall be limited to those matters that remain unresolved after all procedures pertaining to extra work, disputed work, construction claims, and/or changed conditions, including any required mediation, have been followed by Contractor. If no such Government Code claim is submitted, or if the prerequisite contractual requirements are not satisfied, no action against the City may be filed. A Government Code claim must be filed no earlier than the date that Contractor completes all contractual prerequisites to filing a Government Code claim, including any required mediation.
A Government Code claim shall be inclusive of all unresolved claims unless a new unrelated claim arises after the Government Code claim is submitted. For purposes of Government Code Section 900 et seq., the running of the period of time within which a claim must be filed shall be tolled from the time the Contractor submits his or her written claim to the City until the time the claim is denied, including any period of time utilized by the meet and confer conference or mediation that does not result in a complete resolutions of all claims.

The mediation process shall provide for the selection within 15 days by both Parties of a disinterested third person as mediator, shall be commenced within 30 days of the submittal, and shall be concluded within 15 days from the commencement of the mediation unless a time requirement is extended upon a good cause showing to the court. ii. If the matter remains in dispute, the case shall be submitted to judicial arbitration pursuant to Chapter 2.5 (commencing with Section 1141.10) of Title 3 of Part 3 of the Code of Civil Procedure, notwithstanding Section 1141.11 of that code. The Civil Discovery Act of 1986 (Article 3 (commencing with Section 2016) of Chapter 3 of Title 3 of Part 4 of the Code of Civil Procedure) shall apply to any proceeding brought under this subdivision consistent with the rules pertaining to judicial arbitration. iii. Upon stipulation of the Parties, arbitrators appointed for these purposes shall be experienced in construction law, and, upon stipulation of the Parties, mediators and arbitrators shall be paid necessary and reasonable hourly rates of pay not to exceed their customary rate, and such fees and expenses shall be paid equally by the Parties, except in the case of arbitration where the arbitrator, for good cause, determines a different division.

provision for compliance with 40 U.S.C. 3702 and 3704, as supplemented by Department of Labor regulations (29 CFR Part 5). Under 40 U.S.C. 3702 of the Act, each contractor must be required to compute the wages of every mechanic and laborer on the basis of a standard work week of 40 hours. Work in excess of the standard work week is permissible provided that the worker is compensated at a rate of not less than one and a half times the basic rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of 40 hours in the work week. The requirements of 40 U.S.C. 3704 are applicable to construction work and provide that no laborer or mechanic must be required to work in surroundings or under working conditions which are unsanitary, hazardous or dangerous. These requirements do not apply to the purchases of supplies or materials or articles ordinarily available on the open market, or contracts for transportation or transmission of intelligence
(1) Overtime Requirements – No contractor or subcontractor contracting for any part of the contract work which may require or involve the employment of laborers or mechanics shall require or permit any such laborer or mechanic in any workweek in which he or she is employed on such work to work in excess of forty hours in such workweek unless such laborer or mechanic receives compensation at a rate not less than one and one-half times the basic rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of forty hours in such workweek.
(2) Violation; liability for unpaid wages; liquidated damages. In the event of any violation of the clause set forth in paragraph (1) of this section the contractor and any subcontractor responsible therefore shall be liable for the unpaid wages. In addition, such contractor and subcontractor shall be liable to the United States (in the case of work done under contract for the District of Columbia or a territory, to such District or to such territory), for liquidated damages. Such liquidated damages shall be computed with respect to each individual laborer or mechanic, including watchmen and guards, employed in violation of the clause set forth in paragraph (1) of this section, in the sum of $10 for each calendar day on which such individual was required or permitted to work in excess of the standard workweek of forty hours without payment of the overtime wages required by the clause set forth in paragraph (1) of this section. (3) Withholding for unpaid wages and liquidated damages. The (write in the name of the Federal agency or the loan or grant recipient) shall upon its own action or upon written request of an authorized representative of the Department of Labor withhold or cause to be withheld, from any moneys payable on account of work performed by the contractor or subcontractor under any such contract or any other Federal contract with the same prime contractor, or any other federally-assisted contract subject to the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act, which is held by the same prime contractor, such sums as may be determined to be necessary to satisfy any liabilities of such contractor or subcontractor for unpaid wages and liquidated damages as provided in the clause set forth in paragraph (2) of this section.

The prime contractor shall be responsible for compliance by any subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor with the clauses set forth in paragraphs (1) through (4) of this section.
COPELAND “ANTI-KICKBACK” ACT (40 U.S.C. 3145)
Pursuant to 2 CFR Appendix II to Part 200 (D), Contractor must comply with the provisions of the Copeland “Anti-Kickback” Act (40 U.S.C. 3145), as supplemented by Department of Labor regulations (29 CFR Part 3, “Contractors and Subcontractors on Public Building or Public Work Financed in Whole or in Part by Loans or Grants from the United States”). The Act provides that each vendor, contractor, subcontractor, or subrecipient shall be prohibited from inducing, by any means, any person employed in the construction, completion, or repair of public work, to give up any part of the compensation to which he or she is otherwise entitled.
Contractor shall include this provision in all contracts between itself and any subcontractors in connection with the services performed under this Contract. The City shall report all suspected or reported violations to the Federal awarding agency.
COST PLUS CONTRACTING PROHIBITED (2 CFR 200.323(D))
Cost-plus-a-percentage-of-cost (CPPC) contracts are prohibited by 2 CFR 200.323(d). The cost plus a percentage of cost and percentage of construction cost methods of contracting must never be used, including in subcontracts and third-party contracts. A cost-plus contract is one that is structured to pay the contractor or subcontractor their actual costs incurred, plus a fixed percent for profit or overhead.
A cost-plus-a-percentage-of-cost (CPPC) contract is a contract containing some element that obligates the Subrecipient, or Contractor to pay a contractor or subcontractor an amount (in the form of either profit or cost), undetermined at the time the contract was made, to be incurred in the future, and based on a percentage of future costs. The inclusion of an overall contract ceiling price does not make these forms of contracts acceptable.
This type of contract is prohibited because there is no incentive for the contractor or subcontractor to keep its incurred costs low. Instead, there is a reverse incentive for the contractor or subcontractor to continue to incur additional costs in order to continue to drive the percentage of cost up. In other words, increased spending by the contractor will yield higher profits. This prohibition applies to all work, regardless of the circumstances, and applies to

The Contractor further must notify the Subrecipient in writing immediately if Contractor or its subcontractors are not in compliance with Executive Order 12549 during the term of this contract. Contractor shall include this provision in all contracts between itself and any subcontractors in connection with the services performed under this Contract.
If it is found that the Contractor did not comply or is not in compliance with Executive Order 12549 (2 C.F.R. part 180, subpart C and 2 C.F.R. part 3000, subpart C), the Contractor may be subject to available remedies, including but not limited to, refunding the Subrecipient for any payments made to the Contractor while ineligible, and also acknowledges that the Federal Government may pursue available remedies, including but not limited to suspension and/or debarment.

7. In the event of the contractor's noncompliance with the nondiscrimination clauses of this contract or with any of the said rules, regulations, or orders, this contract may be canceled, terminated, or suspended in whole or in part and the contractor may be declared ineligible for further Government contracts or federally assisted construction contracts in accordance with procedures authorized in Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, and such other sanctions may be imposed and remedies invoked as provided in Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, or by rule, regulation, or order of the Secretary of Labor, or as otherwise provided by law.

The contractor will take such action with respect to any subcontract or purchase order as the administering agency may direct as a means of enforcing such provisions, including sanctions for noncompliance:
Provided, however, that in the event a contractor becomes involved in, or is threatened with, litigation with a subcontractor or vendor as a result of such direction by the administering agency, the contractor may request the United States to enter into such litigation to protect the interests of the United States.

EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY FOR VEVRAA PROTECTED
VETERANS (41 CFR 60.300)

Contractor shall include the following equal opportunity clause in each of its covered Government contracts or subcontracts (and modifications, renewals, or extensions thereof if not included in the original contract):

vi. Fringe benefits available by virtue of employment, whether or not administered by the contractor.
vii. Selection and financial support for training, including apprenticeship, and onthe-job training under 38 U.S.C. 3687, professional meetings, conferences, and other related activities, and selection for leaves of absence to pursue training. viii.

ix. Any other term, condition, or privilege of employment. c. The contractor shall immediately list all employment openings which exist at the time of the execution of this contract and those which occur during the performance of this contract, including those not generated by this contract and including those occurring at an establishment of the contractor other than the one where the contract is being performed, but excluding those of independently operated corporate affiliates, with the appropriate employment service delivery system where the opening occurs. Listing employment openings with the state workforce agency job bank or with the local employment service delivery system where the opening occurs will satisfy the requirement to list jobs with the appropriate employment service delivery system. In order to satisfy the listing requirement described herein, contractors must provide information about the job vacancy in any manner and format permitted by the appropriate employment service delivery system which will allow that system to provide priority referral of veterans protected by VEVRAA for that job vacancy.
Providing information on employment openings to a privately run job service or exchange will satisfy the contractor's listing obligation if the privately run job service or exchange provides the information to the appropriate employment service delivery system in any manner and format that the employment service delivery system permits which will allow that system to provide priority referral of protected veterans. d. Listing of employment openings with the appropriate employment service delivery system pursuant to this clause shall be made at least concurrently with the use of any other recruitment source or effort and shall involve the normal obligations which attach to the placing of a bona fide job order, including the acceptance of referrals of veterans and nonveterans. The listing of employment openings does not require the hiring of any particular job applicants or from any particular group of job applicants, and nothing herein is intended to relieve the contractor from any requirements in Executive orders or regulations regarding nondiscrimination in employment. e. Whenever a contractor, other than a state or local governmental contractor, becomes contractually bound to the listing provisions in paragraphs 2 and 3 of this clause, it shall advise the employment service delivery system in each state where it has establishments that: (a) It is a Federal contractor, so that the employment service

delivery systems are able to identify them as such; and (b) it desires priority referrals from the state of protected veterans for job openings at all locations within the state.
The contractor shall also provide to the employment service delivery system the name and location of each hiring location within the state and the contact information for the contractor official responsible for hiring at each location. The “contractor official” may be a chief hiring official, a Human Resources contact, a senior management contact, or any other manager for the contractor that can verify the information set forth in the job listing and receive priority referrals from employment service delivery systems. In the event that the contractor uses any external job search organizations to assist in its hiring, the contractor shall also provide to the employment service delivery system the contact information for the job search organization(s). The disclosures required by this paragraph shall be made simultaneously with the contractor's first job listing at each employment service delivery system location after the effective date of this final rule.
Should any of the information in the disclosures change since it was last reported to the employment service delivery system location, the contractor shall provide updated information simultaneously with its next job listing. As long as the contractor is contractually bound to these provisions and has so advised the employment service delivery system, there is no need to advise the employment service delivery system of subsequent contracts. The contractor may advise the employment service delivery system when it is no longer bound by this contract clause. f. The provisions of paragraphs 2 and 3 of this clause do not apply to the listing of employment openings which occur and are filled outside of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Wake Island, and the Trust Territories of the Pacific Islands.
g. As used in this clause:
i. All employment openings includes all positions except executive and senior management, those positions that will be filled from within the contractor's organization, and positions lasting three days or less. This term includes fulltime employment, temporary employment of more than three days' duration, and part-time employment.
ii. Executive and senior management means: (1) Any employee (a) compensated on a salary basis at a rate of not less than $455 per week (or $380 per week, if employed in American Samoa by employers other than the Federal Government), exclusive of board, lodging or other facilities; (b) whose primary duty is management of the enterprise in which the employee is employed or of a customarily recognized department or subdivision thereof; (c) who customarily and regularly directs the work of two or more other employees; and (d) who has the authority to hire or fire other employees or whose suggestions

and recommendations as to the hiring, firing, advancement, promotion or any other change of status of other employees are given particular weight; or (2) any employee who owns at least a bona fide 20-percent equity interest in the enterprise in which the employee is employed, regardless of whether the business is a corporate or other type of organization, and who is actively engaged in its management.
iii. Positions that will be filled from within the contractor's organization means employment openings for which no consideration will be given to persons outside the contractor's organization (including any affiliates, subsidiaries, and parent companies) and includes any openings which the contractor proposes to fill from regularly established “recall” lists. The exception does not apply to a particular opening once an employer decides to consider applicants outside of his or her own organization.
h. The contractor shall comply with the rules, regulations, and relevant orders of the Secretary of Labor issued pursuant to the Act.
i. In the event of the contractor's noncompliance with the requirements of this clause, actions for noncompliance may be taken in accordance with the rules, regulations, and relevant orders of the Secretary of Labor issued pursuant to the Act. j. The contractor agrees to post in conspicuous places, available to employees and applicants for employment, notices in a form to be prescribed by the Director, Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, provided by or through the contracting officer. Such notices shall state the rights of applicants and employees as well as the contractor's obligation under the law to take affirmative action to employ and advance in employment qualified employees and applicants who are protected veterans. The contractor must ensure that applicants or employees who are disabled veterans are provided the notice in a form that is accessible and understandable to the disabled veteran (e.g., providing Braille or large print versions of the notice, posting the notice for visual accessibility to persons in wheelchairs, providing the notice electronically or on computer disc, or other versions). With respect to employees who do not work at a physical location of the contractor, a contractor will satisfy its posting obligations by posting such notices in an electronic format, provided that the contractor provides computers that can access the electronic posting to such employees, or the contractor has actual knowledge that such employees otherwise are able to access the electronically posted notices. Electronic notices for employees must be posted in a conspicuous location and format on the company's intranet or sent by electronic mail to employees. An electronic posting must be used by the contractor to notify job applicants of their rights if the contractor utilizes an electronic application process.
Such electronic applicant notice must be conspicuously stored with, or as part of, the electronic application.
