"The [name of Recipient], in accordance with the provisions of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (78 Stat. 252, 42 U.S. C 2000d to 2000d-4) and the Regulations, hereby notifies all bidders that it will affirmatively ensure that in any contract entered into pursuant to this advertisement, disadvantaged business enterprises will be afforded full and fair opportunity to submit bids in response to this invitation and will not be discriminated against on the grounds of race, color, or national origin in consideration for an award."

3. The Recipient will insert the clauses of appendix A and E of this Assurance (also referred to as DOT Order 1050.2A) in every contract or agreement subject to the Acts and the Regulations.

4. The Recipient will insert the clauses of appendix B of DOT Order 1050.2A, as a covenant running with the land, in any deed from the United States effecting or recording a transfer of real property, structures, use, or improvements thereon or interest therein to a Recipient.

5. That where the Recipient receives Federal financial assistance to construct a facility, or part of a facility, the Assurance will extend to the entire facility and facilities operated in connection therewith.

6. That where the Recipient receives Federal financial assistance in the form of, or for the acquisition of, real property or an interest in real property, the Assurance will extend to rights to space on, over, or under such property.

7. That the Recipient will include the clauses set forth in appendix C and appendix D of this DOT Order 1050.2A, as a covenant running with the land, in any future deeds, leases, licenses, permits, or similar instruments entered into by the Recipient with other parties:

b. for the construction or use of, or access to, space on, over, or under real property acquired or improved under the applicable activity, project, or program.

8. That this Assurance obligates the Recipient for the period during which Federal financial assistance is extended to the program, except where the Federal financial assistance is to provide, or is in the form of, personal property, or real property, or interest therein, or structures or improvements thereon, in which case the Assurance obligates the Recipient, or any transferee for the longer of the following periods:
a. the period during which the property is used for a purpose for which the Federal financial assistance is extended, or for another purpose involving the provision of similar services or benefits; or b. the period during which the Recipient retains ownership or possession of the property.

9. The Recipient will provide for such methods of administration for the program as are found by the Secretary of Transportation or the official to whom he/she delegates specific authority to give reasonable guarantee that it, other recipients, sub -recipients, sub- grantees, contractors, subcontractors, consultants, transferees, successors in interest, and other participants of Federal financial assistance under such program will comply with all requirements imposed or pursuant to the Acts, the Regulations, and this Assurance.

10. The Recipient agrees that the United States has a right to seek judicial enforcement with regard to any matter arising under the Acts, the Regulations, and this Assurance.

Bernardo I niguez, Director of Public Works/Facilities
Douglas Benash, P.E., City Engineer
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS AND AUTHORIZATION TO SOLICIT BIDS FOR THE VETERANS PARK CITY YARD STORMWATER IMPROVEMENTS (C.I.P.

NO. 3880)
DATE: September 11, 2023
RECOMMENDATION:

It is staff's recommendation that the City Council by motion:

1. Approve plans and specifications for the Veterans Park City Yard Stormwater Improvements; and

2. Authorize staff to solicit competitive bids and publish the Notice Inviting Sealed Bids (NIB); and

3. Appropriate $567,193 of Measure W funds to complete this project; and

4. Find that the project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Guidelines Section 15301(c).

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

Engineering staff has completed the design and construction documents for the Veterans Park City Yard Stormwater Improvements (the "Project"). The Project scope of work consists of furnishing all materials, equipment, tools, labor, and incidentals, as required by the plans, specifications, and contract documents to construct a new trash container ramp and pit to allow direct loading into the trash bins, modifications and improvements to the material storage bins, construction of an underground stormwater storage and treatment device, pavement improvements, and general maintenance to the Veterans Park City Yard. Note that a canopy/shade structure over the material storage bins will be included as a bid additive item, which will be considered to be added to the Project depending on bids received and funding available. The construction documents, which include plans, specifications, and engineer's estimate have been completed in accordance with the City's internal procurement policies and the Public Procurement and Contracting Code. The total contract period for this project is fifty five (55) working days.

Upon authorization by the City Council, staff will proceed with the bid phase of the Project. Publishing the NIB ensures that the City follows the competitive bidding process, which involves advertisement and solicitation of sealed bids, publicly opening of bids, and awarding the contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder at a future City Council meeting. Staff will publish the NI B in a local newspaper of general circulation and other electronic media, and post the plans and specifications on the City's website. The published NI B will state the time and place for the receiving and opening of sealed bids and will distinctly describe the Project. The NIB shall be published pursuant to Public Contract Code § 20164.

Tentative Bid Schedule:

Bid Period: September 21 to October 9, 2023

Bidder Information Sheets Due: October 2, 2023 at 5:00 p.m.

Requests for Information Due: October 2, 2023 at 5:00 p.m.

Bid Opening: October 9, 2023, Monday at 11:00 a.m.

Anticipated Award of Contract: October 23, 2023
LEGAL AND PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS:

Government Code Section 830.6 states in part, "Neither a public entity nor a public employee is liable for an injury caused by the plan or design of a construction of, or an improvement to, public property where such plan or design has been approved in advance of the construction or improvement by the legislative body of the public entity or by some other body or employee exercising discretionary authority to give such approval or where such plan or design is prepared in conformity with standards previously approved." In order to bid the project and provide California design immunity, per Government Code Section 830.6, the City Council must approve the plans and specifications prior to the construction bidding process. The intent of Section 830.6 is to prevent a judge or jury from second-guessing discretionary approvals made by the public agency and its employees regarding a plan or design for a construction project. Staff's recommendation is for the approval of the plans and specifications to proceed with formal bidding of the project.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:

Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines § 6004 (23 U.S.C. 326) and § 15301(c) (Class 1, Existing Facilities) the proposed project has been reviewed to determine whether it is exempt from NEPA and CEQA. The proposed project will not involve or affect any sensitive environments or habitats, scenic resources, historical buildings, historic resources or any hazardous waste sites. Therefore, under CEQA Guidelines § 6004(d1) and § 15301(c) (Class 1, Existing Facilities), it has been determined that the Project is exempt from NEPA and CEQA pursuant to categorical exemptions. A Notice of Exemption has been prepared and will be filed with the County Clerk's Office.

CONCLUSION:

Upon authorization by the City Council, staff will proceed with the bid phase of the Project.

FISCAL IM PACT:

The City's FY 23-24 CIP budget includes $310,358 of Measure W funds for the Project. Staff is requesting an additional appropriation of $567,193 of unallocated Measure W funds to complete the Project, for a total project budget of $877,551.

Staff conducted an analysis of the apparent lowest bidder, Singh Group Inc. dba Baja Pacific Baja (Baja Pacific). This analysis included a review of their bid schedule, bid bond, license, references, and all required documentation. Baja Pacific's license is current and active, and reference checks revealed that the contractor's previous projects were completed satisfactorily, with no contractor -initiated change orders. The Contractor's DIR Registration and AM Best Rating Check was also reviewed and deemed satisfactory. It has been determined that Baja Pacific is the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Therefore, staff recommends award of a construction contract to Baja Pacific for the base bid amount of $556,406 plus additive bid item no. 1 for an amount of $100,740, for a total contract amount of $657,146.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:

Therefore, under Section 6004(d1) and Section 15301(c) of the CEQA Guidelines (Class 1, Existing Facilities), it has been determined that the project is exempt from NEPA and CEQA pursuant to categorical exemptions. A Notice of Exemption has been prepared and will be filed with the County Clerk's Office.

CONCLUSION:

If the Construction Contract is awarded, staff will process the contract for signatures and coordinate a pre -construction meeting.

REMOVAL OF EXISTING STEPS BEYOND THE MANHOLE REMOVAL LIMITS IS

SHOWN ON THE PLANS, THE STEPS SHALL BE REMOVED TO A DEPTH OF 2" (50 mm) BEYOND THE INSIDE FACE OF THE BRICK MANHOLE AND THE HOLES SHALL BE FILLED WITH CLASS "D" MORTAR.

2. RAISING EXISTING BRICK MANHOLES
A. BRICK MANHOLES TO BE RAISED LESS THAN 1' (300 mm) MAY BE EXTEND VERTICALLY, PROVIDED THAT AT A DEPTH OF 2 1/2' (750 mm)

BELOW THE TOP OF THE MANHOLE AT ITS NEW ELEVATION, THE INSIDE DIAMETER OF THE MANHOLE IS 30" (750 mm) OR GREATER.

B. BRICK MANHOLES TO BE RAISED LESS THAN 3 1/2" (90 mm) MAY BE RAISED BY APPLYING CLASS "D" MORTAR TO THE TOP OF THE EXISTING BRICKWORK.

IF THE BRICK MANHOLE IS TO BE RAISED 3 1/2" (90 mm) OR MORE, A

NEW COURSE OR COURSES OF BRICKWORK SHALL BE PLACED ON TOP OF THE EXISTING BRICKWORK.

3. LOWERING EXISTING BRICK MANHOLES
A. WHERE A BRICK MANHOLE IS TO BE LOWERED LESS THAN 1' (300 mm), THE FRAME MAY BE RESET ON THE EXISTING BRICKWORK AND THE 40" (1 m) MINIMUM BRICKWORK RECONSTRUCTION OMITTED, PROVIDED THAT THE

BASE OF THE FRAME DOES NOT OVERHANG THE BRICKWORK ON THE INSIDE SURFACE OF THE MANHOLE MORE THAN AN AVERAGE OF 1 1/2" (35 mm) IN ANY QUADRANT NOR MORE THAN 2°' (50 mm) AT ANY POINT.

4. RAISING EXISTING PRECAST CONCRETE SEWER MANHOLES
A. PRECAST CONCRETE MANHOLES TO BE RAISED LESS THAN 3" (75 mm) MAY BE RAISED BY APPLYING CLASS "D" MORTAR TO THE TOP OF THE EXISTING MANHOLE,

CITY OF BELL GARDENS

OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER

AGENDA REPORT
Item 11.

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Michael B. O'Kelly, City Manager
BY: Bernardo I niguez, Director of Public Works/Facilities SUBJECT: AWARD OF PROFESSIONAL SERVICES FOR ON -CALL GRANT WRITING, GRANT

ADMINISTRATION, PROGRAM MANAGEMENT, LABOR COMPLIANCE, AND

COMMUNITY OUTREACH SERVICES
DATE: September 11, 2023
RECOMMENDATION:

It is staff's recommendation that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution approving a Professional Services Agreement with Advanced Avant -Garde Corporation for On -Call Grant Writing, Grant Administration, Program Management, Labor Compliance, and Community Outreach Services.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

The City of Bell Gardens ("City") has various types of projects and programs that are funded through various funding sources, including local, state, or federal grants. In order to assist the City with the implementation of these projects and programs, professional services are needed on an "as needed" basis from a qualified consultant specializing in grant writing, grant administration, program management, labor compliance, and community outreach. The services to be provided include, but are not limited to, the following:

Grant Writing
• Researching grant opportunities and preparing grants applications.

Grant Administration
• Serving as the City's liaison on project -related activities, assisting in the preparation of agreements and miscellaneous project -related documents, coordinating with funding agencies on project delivery and preparing funding requests, and attending scheduled project/program development meetings.

Program Management
• Attending project/program meetings, evaluating work performed to determine project's/program's progression and identifying any issues that may result in any delays, tracking grant expenditures, milestones, and reporting deadlines, and ensuring compliance with local, state, and federal requirements.

Labor Compliance
• Providing labor compliance services for construction project activities with reporting as required by local, state, or federal regulations.

Community Outreach
• Providing public relations and community outreach services on City projects/programs.

On August 7, 2023, the Public Works Department released a Request for Proposals for On -Call Grant Writing, 345

Grant Administration, Program Management, Labor Compliance, and Community Outreach Services (RFP). On August 21, 2023, the City issued Addendum No. 1 to the RFP, extending the proposal submittal deadline from August 22, 2023 to August 28, 2023. On August 28, 2023, the City received a total of two proposals.

The two proposals were reviewed and ranked by a panel consisting of City staff, based on the following criteria:
• Demonstrated understanding of the scope of work for supporting City projects/programs and ability to complete the requirements.
• Proven recent experience on relevant projects/programs. • Qualification and experience of the Consultant's project representative and staff. • Familiarity and experience with state and federal procedures. • Familiarity and experience with Caltrans and Metro requirements. • Qualifications and availability of technical personnel.

The table below illustrates the scores for the two proposers:

Although contracts for professional services need not be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder, cost may be considered as a factor. The table below illustrates a comparison of the hourly rates offered by both firms:

CONCLUSION:
