Report to Honorable Mayor and City Council
Tuesday, January 21, 2025, 5:00 PM
CONSENT 13. To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Dr. Robert Lennox, Assistant City Manager Subject: CONSIDER AWARDING A CONTRACT SERVICES AGREEMENT TO Z&K CONSULTANTS, INC.TO DEVELOP A SPECIFIC PLAN FOR THE CARSON CIVIC CENTER AND ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 25-007AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 2024-25 BUDGET IN THE GENERAL FUND AND SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS,AND AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 2024-25 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM TO INCORPORATEPROJECT NO. PW1796 - CARSON CIVIC CENTER REDEVELOPMENT (CITY COUNCIL) I. SUMMARY
The City Civic Center Redevelopment Plan envisions modifying the layout, design, and programming of nearly 20 acres of City owned property. The current uses include the existing city hall building, adjacent events center, and supporting parking areas. Initial concepts have included a ﬁve-star resort, performing arts theater, potential multi- family housing, interactive museum, teen/innovation center, remodeling of the existing events center, and new City Hall structure with retail opportunities.

A "Notice of Professional Services Procurement Opportunity" for the development of the Carson Civic Center Speciﬁc Plan was solicited and closed on November 21, 2024. Carson Municipal Code 2611(c)(3) requires the City send “Notice to a number of potential offerors adequate to permit reasonable competition consistent with the nature and requirements of the procurement.” This notice was sent out to 5 prospective bidders. Z&K Consultants, Inc. was able to meet the project timeline included within the advertised scope of services. No other bidders submitted a proposal.

As such, staff is recommending City Council award and approve a Contract Services Agreement to Z&K Consultants, Inc. for the development of a Carson Civic Center Speciﬁc Plan, at a not-to-exceed sum of $550,000.

II. RECOMMENDATION

1. AWARD and APPROVE a Contract Services Agreement to Z&K Consultants, Inc. for the development of a Carson Civic Center Speciﬁc Plan, at a not-to-exceed sum of $550,000 for the contract term; and

2. AUTHORIZE the Mayor to execute the Z&K Consultants, Inc. Contract Services Agreement, following approval as to form by the City Attorney; and

3. ADOPT Resolution No. 25-007 “A RESOLUTION OF THE CARSON CITY COUNCIL AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 2024-25 BUDGET IN THE GENERAL FUND AND SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS, AND AMENDING THE 701 East Carson Street
FISCAL YEAR 2024-25 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM TO INCORPORATE PROJECT NO. PW1796 - CARSON CIVIC CENTER REDEVELOPMENT”
III. ALTERNATIVES
TAKE another action the City Council deems appropriate, subject to compliance with applicable law.

IV. BACKGROUND
City staff has been conceptualizing a revitalization of the Carson Civic Center in efforts to stimulate economic activity, improve regional access, and implement place making that will assist with better branding of the City's central place of business. Staff undertook this planning effort in order to prepare for upcoming major international events including the 2026 FIFA World Cup and the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The City of Carson will serve as a venue city for both large scale events that are estimated to bring millions of visitors to the City.

The City Civic Center Redevelopment Plan envisions modifying the layout, design, and programming of nearly 20 acres of City owned property. The current uses include the existing city hall building, adjacent events center, and supporting parking areas. Initial concepts have included a ﬁve-star resort, performing arts theater, potential multi- family housing, interactive museum, teen/innovation center, remodeling of the existing events center, and new City Hall structure with retail opportunities.

Speciﬁcally, the Carson Civic Center Redevelopment Project aims to re-imagine and invigorate the Civic Center as a thriving, inclusive hub that captures the essence of Carson’s unique cultural heritage and vibrant community. This trans-formative initiative envisions a harmonious blend of residential, commercial, and cultural spaces designed to create a dynamic downtown atmosphere, drawing people in at all times of the day and night. Through thoughtful urban design, sustainable planning, and a commitment to accessibility, the project will create a welcoming environment that celebrates Carson’s past while looking toward its future. This revitalized Civic Center will serve as the "heart" of Carson, fostering connections, supporting public events, and establishing a legacy of value and beauty for the community and region.

Create a Vibrant Civic Heart: Reinforce the Civic Center’s identity as the "heart" of Carson by celebrating its history and cultural heritage through thoughtful urban design and engaging programming.

Foster a Dynamic Downtown: Cultivate an energetic downtown environment that attracts both daytime and nighttime visitors. Develop a phased plan that optimally integrates a diverse mix of uses to promote a balanced, vibrant community space.

Utilize Complete Streets Approach: Enhance accessibility and connectivity by designing Carson Boulevard and surrounding streets with a complete streets approach, balancing pedestrian, cyclist, and vehicle needs.

Integrate ample parking to support all Civic Center facilities.

Establish a Regional Hub for Events and the Arts: Position downtown Carson as a magnet for large-scale public events, with a regional arts and recreation center that complements the Carson Civic Center and attracts both locals and visitors.

Build a Landmark Resort Hotel: Develop a high-rise resort hotel on a prominent 4.3-acre site visible from the I-405 Freeway, establishing it as a key destination within the new Civic Center area.

Expand Residential and Cultural Facilities: Construct a multi-story mixed-use residential building, a performing arts center, and an interactive museum to enrich the civic and cultural offerings of the community.

Revitalize City Hall: Transform City Hall with a multi-story mixed-use building to enhance its functionality and integrate seamlessly with the surrounding urban landscape.

Enhance the Community/Event Center: Modernize the Carson Community and Event Center, including the addition of an amphitheater to support a range of public performances and gatherings.

It is staff's recommendation to fully entitle the civic center campus to ensure that future development is completed to city standards and aligns with the goals and objectives of the General Plan and City Council. To that end, staff suggests developing the Civic Center Speciﬁc Plan to include all necessary preliminary elements of entitlement:

Civic Center Speciﬁc Plan
Architecture & Planning
Landscape Design
Traﬃc Study
Civil Engineering
Environmental Study
Economic/Finance Review
Programming of Civic Facilities
Concept Architectural Design of Civic Facilities
Cost Estimation for Civic Facilities
Preparation of CEQA Documentation
A "Notice of Professional Services Procurement Opportunity" for the development of the Carson Civic Center Speciﬁc Plan was solicited and closed on November 21, 2024. Carson Municipal Code 2611(c)(3) requires the City send “Notice to a number of potential offerors adequate to permit reasonable competition consistent with the nature and requirements of the procurement.” This notice was sent out to 5 prospective bidders. Z&K Consultants, Inc. was able to meet the project timeline included within the advertised scope of services. No other bidders submitted a proposal.

V. FISCAL IMPACT
On May 21, 2019, the City of Carson and Marathon Petroleum entered into a Beautiﬁcation Agreement that required Marathon to implement aesthetic enhancements around the reﬁnery perimeter. City Management had determined that Marathon had provided suﬃcient improvements to the surrounding areas of the property and on December 18, 2024, City Council approved a Mutual Termination Agreement that authorized Marathon to provide an “in-lieu” fee in the amount of One Million Seven Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($1,750,000.00) to complete its obligations to implement the beautiﬁcation. Staff is requesting an allocation of $550,000.00 from the recent in-lieu payment (a budget amendment from the General Fund Reserve) to fund the proposed design and planning phase of Capital Improvement Project No. PW1796 - Civic Center Redevelopment, as outlined in Resolution No. 25-007 (Exhibit 2).

Insurance required by this Agreement shall be satisfactory only if issued by companies qualified to do business in California, rated “A-” or better in the most recent edition of Best Rating Guide, The Key Rating Guide or in the Federal Register, and only if they are of a financial category Class VII or better, unless such requirements are waived by the Risk Manager of the City (“Risk 01007.0001/644685.1 -11-
Manager”) due to unique circumstances.

Consultant agrees to cooperate fully with City and to provide City with the opportunity to review any response to discovery requests provided by Consultant. However, this right to review any such response does not imply or mean the right by City to control, direct, or rewrite said response.

ARTICLE 7. ENFORCEMENT OF AGREEMENT AND TERMINATION

7.1 California Law.

This Agreement shall be interpreted, construed and governed both as to validity and to performance of the parties in accordance with the laws of the State of California. Legal actions 01007.0001/644685.1 -13-
concerning any dispute, claim or matter arising out of or in relation to this Agreement shall be instituted in the Superior Court of the County of Los Angeles, State of California, or any other appropriate court in such county, and Consultant covenants and agrees to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such court in the event of such action. In the event of litigation in a U.S. District Court, venue shall lie exclusively in the Central District of California, in the County of Los Angeles, State of California.

7.2 Disputes; Default.

In the event that Consultant is in default under the terms of this Agreement, the City shall not have any obligation or duty to continue compensating Consultant for any work performed after the date of default. Instead, the City may give notice to Consultant of the default and the reasons for the default. The notice shall include the timeframe in which Consultant may cure the default.

This timeframe is presumptively thirty (30) days, but may be extended, though not reduced, if circumstances warrant. During the period of time that Consultant is in default, the City shall hold all invoices and shall, when the default is cured, proceed with payment on the invoices. In the alternative, the City may, in its sole discretion, elect to pay some or all of the outstanding invoices during the period of default. If Consultant does not cure the default, the City may take necessary steps to terminate this Agreement under this Article. Any failure on the part of the City to give notice of the Consultant’s default shall not be deemed to result in a waiver of the City’s legal rights or any rights arising out of any provision of this Agreement.

7.3 Retention of Funds.

Consultant hereby authorizes City to deduct from any amount payable to Consultant (whether or not arising out of this Agreement) (i) any amounts the payment of which may be in dispute hereunder or which are necessary to compensate City for any losses, costs, liabilities, or damages suffered by City, and (ii) all amounts for which City may be liable to third parties, by reason of Consultant’s acts or omissions in performing or failing to perform Consultant’s obligation under this Agreement. In the event that any claim is made by a third party, the amount or validity of which is disputed by Consultant, or any indebtedness shall exist which shall appear to be the basis for a claim of lien, City may withhold from any payment due, without liability for interest because of such withholding, an amount sufficient to cover such claim. The failure of City to exercise such right to deduct or to withhold shall not, however, affect the obligations of the Consultant to insure, indemnify, and protect City as elsewhere provided herein.

7.4 Waiver.

Waiver by any party to this Agreement of any term, condition, or covenant of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other term, condition, or covenant. Waiver by any party of any breach of the provisions of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other provision or a waiver of any subsequent breach or violation of any provision of this Agreement.

Acceptance by City of any work or services by Consultant shall not constitute a waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy by a non-defaulting party on any default shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver.

Any waiver by either party of any default must be in writing and shall not be a waiver of any other default concerning the same or any other provision of this Agreement. 01007.0001/644685.1 -14-

7.5 Rights and Remedies are Cumulative.

Except with respect to rights and remedies expressly declared to be exclusive in this Agreement, the rights and remedies of the parties are cumulative and the exercise by either party of one or more of such rights or remedies shall not preclude the exercis e by it, at the same or different times, of any other rights or remedies for the same default or any other default by the other party.

7.6 Legal Action.

In addition to any other rights or remedies, either party may take legal action, in law or in equity, to cure, correct or remedy any default, to recover damages for any default, to compel specific performance of this Agreement, to obtain declaratory or injunctive relief, or to obtain any other remedy consistent with the purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, Consultant shall file a statutory claim pursuant to Government Code Sections 905 et. seq. and 910 et. seq., in order to pursue a legal action under this Agreement.

This Section shall govern any termination of this Agreement except as specifically provided in the following Section for termination for cause.

In addition, the Consultant reserves the right to terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without cause, upon sixty (60) days’ written notice to City, except that where termination is due to the fault of the City, the period of notice may be such shorter time as the Consultant may determine. Upon receipt of any notice of termination, Consultant shall immediately cease all services hereunder except such as may be specifically approved by the Contract Officer. Except where the Consultant has initiated termination, the Consultant shall be entitled to compensation for all services rendered prior to the effective date of the notice of termination and for any services authorized by the Contract Officer thereafter in accordance with the Schedule of Compensation or such as may be approved by the Contract Officer, except as provided in Section 7.3. In the event the Consultant has initiated termination, the Consultant shall be entitled to compensation only for the reasonable value of the work product actually produced hereunder. In the event of termination without cause pur suant to this Section, the terminating party need not provide the non-terminating party with the opportunity to cure pursuant to Section 7.2.

7.8 Termination for Default of Consultant.

If termination is due to the failure of the Consultant to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, City may, after compliance with the provisions of Section 7.2, take over the work and prosecute the same to completion by contract or otherwise, and the Consultant shall be liable to the extent that the total cost for completion of the services required hereunder exceeds the compensation herein stipulated (provided that the City shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate such damages), and City may withhold any payments to the Consultant for the purpose of set-off or partial payment of the amounts owed the City as previously stated. 01007.0001/644685.1 -15-

Report to Honorable Mayor and City Council
Tuesday, January 21, 2025, 5:00 PM
CONSENT 14. To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Michael George, Assistant to the City Manager Subject: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OFCARSON AND CBJ, LP DBA LOS ANGELES BUSINESS JOURNAL (CITY COUNCIL) I. SUMMARY
This item transmits a recommendation for the City Council to approve Amendment No. 1 with CBJ, LP DBA Los Angeles Business Journal to increase the contract amount by $9,465 to cover additional expenses that were incurred earlier during the contract term, and which were not included in the original contract amount.

At its meeting on January 9, 2024, the City Council approved a contract with Los Angeles Business Journal under the Innovation, Sustainability, and Performance Management Department ("ISPM") for an initial one-year term for a not to exceed contract sum of $88,650 for promotion of the City. The contract included set monthly terms, however, additional services were authorized by the previous Director of ISPM for the August 19-25 issue of the Los Angeles Business Journal for an additional $9,465, however the contract was not amended at that time to absorb the additional cost.

Approval of this item would add $9,465 to the contract consideration amount and allow staff to pay the ﬁnal invoice for the Los Angeles Business Journal Contract and close out the contract.

Because the contract expired January 8, 2025, the amendment would be made effective retroactive to January 8, 2025, and extended by two months to provide staff ample time to process ﬁnal invoice(s).

II. RECOMMENDATION

1. APPROVE the proposed Amendment No. 1 between the City of Carson and CBJ, LP DBA Los Angeles Business Journal; and

2. AUTHORIZE the Mayor to execute the Amendment following approval as to form by the City Attorney.

III. ALTERNATIVES
TAKE another action the City Council deems appropriate and that is consistent with applicable laws.

IV. BACKGROUND
At its meeting on January 9, 2024, the City Council approved a contract with Los Angeles Business Journal for aninitial one-year term for a not to exceed contract sum of $88,650. 701 East Carson Street
Approval of this item will enable staff to process the invoice and pay the Los Angeles Business Journal for theadditional expenses that were incurred under this contract.

V. FISCAL IMPACT
Funding to cover this expense of $9,465 would be absorbed within the existing Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Councilapproved budget of the Innovation, Sustainability, and Performance Management Department (ISPM) account forProfessional Services (101-52-510-101-6004). No new funding is being sought.

AMENDMENT NO. 1

TO AGREEMENT FOR CONTRACT SERVICES

THIS AMENDMENT TO THE AGREEMENT FOR CONTRACT SERVICES
(“Amendment No. 1”) by and between the CITY OF CARSON, a California municipal corporation (“City”) and CBJ, LP, a Kansas limited partnership authorized to conduct business in California doing business as LOS ANGELES BUSINESS JOURNAL (“Consultant”), is effective retroactive to January 8, 2025. City and Consultant are sometimes herein individually referred to as “Party” and hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Parties.”

RECITALS
A. City and Consultant entered into an Agreement for Contract Services dated January 9, 2024 (the “Agreement”), whereby Consultant agreed to provide certain marketing services for a not-to-exceed Contract Sum of $88,650.

B. In August 2024, the City exercised the Cover Wrap option from the Agreement at a cost of $14,000, which was not accounted for in the original Contract Sum of $88,650. Because the City exercised this option, and to facilitate the completion of Services under the Agreement, the Consultant agreed to reduce the cost of the outstanding Services so that the total additional amount owed by City is only $9,465.

C. City and Consultant now desire to amend the Agreement to increase the Contract Sum by $9,465 resulting in an adjusted not-to-exceed Contract Sum of $98,115 to account for the Services provided, including the Cover Wrap option, and to extend the Term by two months to provide City ample time to process final invoice(s).

The total compensation including reimbursement for action expenses, shall not exceed Eighty Ninety-Eight Thousand Six One Hundred Fifty Fifteen Dollars and Zero Cents ($88,650 $98,115) (the “Contract Sum”), unless additional compensation is approved pursuant to Section

1.8.”
B. Section 3.4 (Term) of the Agreement is amended to read in its entirety as follows:

- 2 -
01007.0001/1044087.1
“3.4 Term. Unless earlier terminated in accordance with Article 7 of this Agreement, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until completion of the services but not exceeding fourteen (14) months one (1) years from the date hereof, except as otherwise provided in the Schedule of Performance (Exhibit “D”).”

2. Continuing Effect of Agreement. Except as amended by this Amendment No. 1, all provisions of the Agreement shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect.

3. Affirmation of Agreement; Warranty Re Absence of Defaults. City and Consultant each ratify and reaffirm each and every one of the respective rights and obligations arising under the Agreement. Each party represents and warrants to the other that there have been no written or oral modifications to the Agreement other than as provided herein. Each party represents and warrants to the other that the Agreement is currently an effective, valid, and binding obligation.

Consultant represents and warrants to City that, as of the date of this Amendment No. 1, City is not in default of any material term of the Agreement and that there have been no events that, with the passing of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a material default under the Agreement.

City represents and warrants to Consultant that, as of the date of this Amendment No. 1, Consultant is not in default of any material term of the Agreement and that there have been no events that, with the passing of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a material default under the Agreement.

4. Adequate Consideration. The parties hereto irrevocably stipulate and agree that they have each received adequate and independent consideration for the performance of the obligations they have undertaken pursuant to this Amendment No. 1.

5. Authority. The persons executing this Amendment No. 1 on behalf of the parties hereto warrant that (i) such party is duly organized and existing, (ii) they are duly authorized to execute and deliver this Amendment No. 1 on behalf of said party, (iii) by so executing this Amendment No. 1, such party is formally bound to the provisions of this Amendment No. 1, and (iv) the entering into this Amendment No. 1 does not violate any provision of any other agreement to which said Party is bound.

6. Counterparts. This Amendment No. 1 may be executed in any number of counterparts and each of such counterparts shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original, whether the signatures are originals, electronic, facsimiles, or digital.

Since the lastadjustment in 1978, inﬂation and increased costs have signiﬁcantly limited the ability of employees to attendvaluable conferences and training sessions within the current budget. By increasing the fund, the City will enableemployees to enhance their skills, gain access to new practices, and build professional networks, all of whichcontribute to improved performance and enhancing the communities' experience. This investment in employeedevelopment will not only beneﬁt staff but also strengthen the City’s ability to effectively serve the community.

II. RECOMMENDATION
WAIVE further reading and ADOPT Resolution No. 25-003, " A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CARSON, CALIFORNIA, INCREASING THE AMOUNT OF THE REVOLVING FUND."

Speciﬁcally, staff proposes increasing the fund from $5000 to $10,000 to better accommodate theseneeds.

Report to Honorable Mayor and City Council
Tuesday, January 21, 2025, 5:00 PM
CONSENT 19. To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: William Jefferson, Director of Finance Subject: CONSIDER A REPORT ON ALL INTRADEPARTMENTAL BUDGET TRANSFERS APPROVEDUNDER THE CITY MANAGER OR DESIGNEE AUTHORITY FOR THE MONTH OF NOVEMBER ANDDECEMBER 2024 PER ORDINANCE 24-2401 (CITY COUNCIL) I. SUMMARY
On February 20, 2024 (Item No. 27), Council adopted Ordinance 24 -2401 amending Section 2955.1 (Budget Transfers) of Chapter 9.5 (Fiscal Administration) of Article II (Administration) of the Carson Municipal Code (CMC).

CMC Section 2955.1 now requires that once per month during a regular City Council meeting, a list of all intradepartmental budget transfers approved under City Manager authority, including any Departmental Director- approved transfers, shall be presented to the City Council. Per CMC Section 2955.1, staff are presenting to Council a report of intradepartmental budget transfers authorized by the City Manager or designee for the period of November and December 2024 (Exhibit No. 1).

This report outlines intradepartmental budget transfers for review by the City Council. It provides a comprehensive overview of the transfers and the impact on departmental operations. The report aims to ensure transparency and ﬁscal responsibility in managing the City's budget.

II. RECOMMENDATION
RECEIVE and FILE the report (Exhibit No. 1).

III. ALTERNATIVES
TAKE another action the City Council deems appropriate and consistent with the requirements of the law.

IV. BACKGROUND
The City's budget is a critical tool for allocating resources to various departments and initiatives, ensuring the eﬃcient delivery of services to residents. Throughout the ﬁscal year, departments may encounter unforeseen circumstances or evolving priorities that necessitate adjustments to their budgets. These adjustments often involve transferring funds between line items to address emerging needs or to capitalize on new opportunities. 701 East Carson Street
In compliance with CMC 2955.1, the City Manager may approve any budget transfer within the same City department, except for transfers involving personnel-related funds or expenditures, such as salaries or beneﬁts.

Department Directors may also approve intradepartmental budget transfers within their respective Departments on terms prescribed by the City Manager (subject to compliance with CMC 2955.1 and applicable law), except that:
(i) Department Directors shall not be permitted to approve any intradepartmental budget transfers involving personnel-related funds or expenditures, such as salaries or beneﬁts; and (ii) the City Manager shall have authority to restrict (including by removing) the intradepartmental budget transfer authority of one or more Department Directors as deemed necessary in the City Manager’s sole discretion.

These requests undergo careful review to assess the justiﬁcation, necessity, and potential impact of the proposed transfers. The City Manager's oﬃce then presents these monthly reports to the City Council.

Attached as Exhibit 1 is the Intradepartmental Budget Transfers Report for City Manager or designee authority executed in November and December of 2024.

V. FISCAL IMPACT
None.

Report to Honorable Mayor and City Council
Tuesday, January 21, 2025, 5:00 PM
CONSENT 20. To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Nora Garcia , Director of Public Safety & Emergency Services PS Emergency Management Subject: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT NO.1 TO THE PURCHASING AND MAINTENANCESERVICES AGREEMENT WITH MISSION CRITICAL INFORMATION SYSTEMS INC. (MCIS) (C22-045) FORINTEROPERABLE PUBLIC SAFETY RADIO SYSTEM AND MAINTENANCE SERVICE (CITY COUNCIL) I. SUMMARY
On October 5, 2021, the City Council awarded a five-year (5) service contract to Mission Critical Information Systems Inc. (MCIS) for the programming, installation, and maintenance of the Public Safety Radio System. The total compensation for this contract was set at an amount not to exceed $219,934.54.

The COVID-19 pandemic caused significant disruptions in supply chains, leading to computer chip shortages and resulting in delays of up to 20 months in receiving essential radios and other components under the MCIS-City of Carson contract. These delays have impacted various operational processes, necessitating a request for the first-year service contract payment to be processed much later than originally anticipated. Additionally, these shortages have affected the timely delivery of city vehicles for Public Safety and other departments.

Now Staff is recommending for City Council to approve an amendment to the Agreement to add products and services to the Scope of Services for an additional amount of $113,740.31 thereby increasing the total not to exceed contract sum to $333,674.85.

II. RECOMMENDATION
TAKE the following actions:

1. APPROVE Amendment No. 1 to add products and services to the Scope of Services for an additional amount of $113,740.31 thereby increasing the total not to exceed contract sum to $333,674.85.

2. AUTHORIZE the Mayor to execute the amendment, following approval as to form by the City Attorney.

III. ALTERNATIVES

1. TAKE any other action the City Council deems appropriate that is consistent with the requirements of law.

IV. BACKGROUND
701 East Carson Street
In 2012, the federal government passed the Middle-Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012, which included a section related to public safety radio communications and mandated that by 2023, public safety agencies would have to abandon the UHF frequency spectrum currently used and move to a different spectrum.

The City of Carson UHF radio system that supports public safety and public works began transitioning to the Los Angeles Regional Interoperability Communication System (LA-RICS) in 2021-2022. Once this transition process is completed, it will provide communication compatibility between city partners such as the Sheriff’s Department, Fire Department and CSU Dominguez Hills.

City Council funded the purchase of 10 NX 5800K and 110 NX 5300K2 radios on June 1, 2021. This project funds the remaining phase of radio programming and additional equipment to enable the transition to LA-RICS as well as a five-year maintenance contract.

In July 2021, the City issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for a Safety Interoperability Radio Solution, Carson City Hall Bi-Directional Amplifier Project and a 5-year maintenance services agreement for associated radio equipment. The Safety Interoperability Radio Solution included radio equipment for Carson’s primary Emergency Operations Center (EOC) at City Hall and the alternate EOC at the Corporate Yard as well as programming and installation services for radios purchased during Phase 1.

The Bi-Directional Amplifier Project includes equipment and installation to ensure radio coverage throughout City Hall especially in basement locations for Public Safety personnel. The 5-year maintenance services agreements cover all equipment being utilized for the Carson Public Safety Radio System.

The proposals were evaluated based on four factors: compliance with proposal requirements, qualification and experience, cost and client reference list/past performance.

The City received one proposal from MCIS Inc. that received an average rating of 87.7 from the RFP evaluation panel. The vendor indicated experience with the LA-RICS and a client reference list which includes the County of Los Angeles, the Los Angeles Dodgers and Tustin Unified School District.

On October 5, 2021, the City Council awarded a five-year (5) service contract to Mission Critical Information Systems Inc. (MCIS) for the programming, installation, and maintenance of the Public Safety Radio System. The total compensation for this contract was set at an amount not to exceed $219,934.54.

Due to these unforeseen circumstances, Staff is recommending for Council to approve an amendment to the agreement to add products and services to the Scope of Services for an additional amount of $113,740.31 thereby increasing the total not to exceed contract sum to $333,674.85.

V. FISCAL IMPACT
If the City Council approves staff’s recommendations, there will be no fiscal impact for FY 2024-25 as the requisite funding was included in the current adopted budget.

AMENDMENT NO. 1

TO AGREEMENT FOR CONTRACT SERVICES

THIS AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT FOR CONTRACT SERVICES
(“Amendment No. 1”) by and between the City of Carson, a California municipal corporation (“City”) and Mission Critical Information Systems Inc., a California corporation (“Consultant”), is effective as of the _____ day of _____________, 2024. City and Consultant are sometimes hereinafter individually referred to as “Party” and hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Parties.”

RECITALS
A. City and Consultant entered into that certain Agreement for Contract Services dated April 18, 2022 ("Agreement"), whereby Consultant agreed to provide City with primary and backup Emergency Operations Center services and install mobile radios in connection with those services.

B. The Contract Sum under the Agreement is $219,934.54 and the Agreement Term is set to expire April 17, 2027, five (5) years from the date of the Agreement.

C. The force majeure clause in Section 3.3 of the Agreement allows the Schedule of Performance to be extended to the extent appropriate in the event of any delays due to unforeseeable causes beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of Consultant, including, but not restricted to, acts of God or of the public enemy, unusually severe weather, fires, earthquakes, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, riots, strikes, freight embargoes, wars, litigation, and/or acts of any governmental agency.

D. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and associated supply chain crisis and computer chip shortages, there were delays of up to 20 months in receiving radios and other components required to be furnished by Consultant under the Agreement, which caused unexpected delays in various processes including delivery of City vehicles, and led to the request for the first year's payment to be made much later than one year after commencement of the Agreement Term.

E. City and Consultant now seek to amend the Agreement to add products and services to the Scope of Services for an additional amount of $113,740.31 thereby increasing the total not to exceed contract sum to $333,674.85.

Report to Honorable Mayor and City Council
Tuesday, January 21, 2025, 5:00 PM
CONSENT 21. To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Nora A. Garcia , Director of Public Safety & Emergency Management PS Subject: CONSIDER APPROVING AN INCREASE TO THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY DEPARTMENT OFANIMAL CARE AND CONTROL (LADACC) CONTRACT (C19-104) AND ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION NO. 25-002, APPROVING THE BUDGET TRANSFER IN FISCAL YEAR 2024-2025 IN THE PUBLIC SAFETY BUDGETTO INCREASE THE ANIMAL CONTROL CONTRACT BUDGET (CITY COUNCIL) I. SUMMARY

Since 1968, the Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care and Control (LADACC) has been providing animal control services to the City of Carson. On June 18, 2024, the City Council approved the latest ﬁve-year service agreement and authorized the City Manager to execute the FY 2024/25 Service Level Agreement for full-time services until an in-house Animal Control Oﬃcer (ACO) is hired and trained.

Although a new ACO was successfully hired in June 2024, their employment was terminated in September 2024 due to unforeseen circumstances, which has made it necessary to continue the full-time service agreement.

Consequently, staff is requesting the City Council's approval for an increase to the LADACC contract and the adoption of Resolution No. 25-002. This resolution would allow the transfer of funds from Public Safety salary accounts within the FY 2024-2025 budget to the animal control account (Exhibit No. 1). These adjustments are crucial due to unexpected challenges affecting the animal control contract, such as recruitment delays and operational requirements. If approved, the city will be able to meet its ﬁnancial obligations for animal control services through February 2025. At that time, staff will reassess the contract and may propose a mid-year funding request.

It is important to note that several factors—such as changes in the County billing method, the acquisition of a new vehicle, staff transitions, and the shift to full-service support—are directly impacting the cost of the animal care and control contract. The current projection represents the best estimate that staff can provide at this time, and they will continue to monitor the contract costs as needed.

II. RECOMMENDATION

1. APPROVE an increase to the Animal Care and Control (LADACC) contract.

2. ADOPT Resolution No. 25-002, A RESOLUTION OF THE CARSON CITY COUNCIL APPROVING THE FISCAL YEAR 2024-2025 BUDGET TRANSFER FOR PUBLIC SAFETY TO INCREASE CONTRACT BUDGET FOR THE ANIMAL CONTROL CONTRACT (C-19-104) BY $270,000
701 East Carson Street
III. ALTERNATIVES
TAKE any other action the City Council deems appropriate that is consistent with the requirement of law.

IV. BACKGROUND
Since 1968, the Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care and Control (LADACC) has been delivering animal control services to the City of Carson. During a meeting on June 18, 2024, the City Council approved the latest ﬁve- year service agreement and authorized the City Manager to execute the FY 2024/25 Service Level Agreement for full-time services until an in-house Animal Control Oﬃcer (ACO) is hired and trained (Exhibit No. 1).

A new ACO was successfully hired in June 2024; however, unforeseen circumstances led to the termination of their employment in September 2024, necessitating the continuation of the full-time service level agreement.

In light of this, staff is requesting that the City Council approve an increase to the LADACC contract and adopt Resolution No. 25-002. This resolution would facilitate the transfer of funds from Public Safety salary accounts within the FY 2024-2025 budget to the animal control account (Exhibit No. 1). These adjustments are crucial due to unexpected challenges affecting the animal control contract, such as recruitment delays and operational requirements. If approved, the city will be able to meet its ﬁnancial obligations for animal control services through February 2025. At that point, staff will reassess the contract and may propose a mid-year funding request.

It is important to recognize that various factors—including changes in County billing methods, the purchase of a new vehicle, staﬃng changes, and the shift to full-service animal control—have impacted the projected costs associated with the animal care and control contract. As a result, staff ﬁnds it challenging to provide a precise cost projection for animal control services. The City Council should be aware that these projections reﬂect the best estimates currently available, and staff will continue to monitor and adjust the contract costs as necessary throughout the ﬁscal year and as long as the city remains contracted with LADACC.

Staff recommends that the City Council approve the proposed budget transfers by adopting Resolution No. 25-002, thereby amending the current budget to ensure suﬃcient funding for the animal control account for the remainder of FY 2024/25.

V. FISCAL IMPACT
If Council approves staff recommendation, funds in the amount of $270,000 need to be appropriated by processingthe budget transfer in Resolution No. 25-002 with no impact to the general fund as funds are being transferred fromsalary cost savings within the existing Public Safety accounts in the current Fiscal Year.

The City of Carson was awarded a $253,000 Proposition A Grant from the Los Angeles County Regional Park and Open Space District (RPOSD) for the Del Amo Park Improvement Project in 2014.

The City of Carson also receives Proposition A Maintenance & Servicing funds from the RPOSD to support repairs from previously awarded grants (Exhibit 4).

The meeting room, kitchen and office floors at Del Amo Park need replacement. Staff submitted an application to RPOSD to request funds to support this project. The application was subsequently approved (Exhibit 1), and is now being brought to the City Council to utilize the award.

The proposed vendor, R3 Painting, was tentatively selected by staff to perform the repair work, which includes removal of 2,500 sq. ft. of existing vinyl composition tile (VCT) flooring, and replacement with an epoxy coating. The total not-to-exceed Contract Sum for this project, as provided in the proposed Agreement, is $58,000. As a public works contract under $60,000, the procurement is not subject to competitive bidding.

V. FISCAL IMPACT
Should the City Council approve the staff’s recommendation, the following accounts will record the expenditure and the grant reimbursement, per the proposed Resolution No. 25- 001. The total maximum amount RPOSD will reimburse Grantee for this Project is $58,000.00 including related reimbursable expenses.

01007.0006/1038686.3
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.

1.11 Warranty.

Contractor warrants all work under the Agreement (which for purposes of this Section shall be deemed to include unauthorized work which has not been removed and any non- conforming 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 the Agreement 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, Contractor shall within ten (10) d ays after being notified in writing by the City of any defect in the work or non-conformance of the work to the Agreement, commence and prosecute with due diligence all work necessary to fulfill the terms of the warranty at its sole cost and expense.

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 the 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 s ubcontractors, 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 enfo rce 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 , to the reasonable satisfaction of the C ity, the City shall have the right to correct and replace any defective or non -conforming work and any work damaged by such work or the replacement or correction thereof at Contractor’s sole expense.

Any greater increases, taken either separately or cumulatively, must be approved by the City Council. (c) Any adjustment in the Contract Sum for a Change Order must be in accordance with the rates set forth in the Contractor’s Bid . If the rates in the Contractor’s Bid do not cover the type of work in the Change Order, the cost of such work shall not exceed an amount agreed upon in writing and signed by Contractor and City’s Director of Public Works or City Engineer, or either of their designees. If the cost of the Change Order cannot be agreed upon, the City will pay for actual work of the Change Order completed, to the satisfaction of the City, as follows:
(i) Labor: The cost of labor shall be the actual cost for wages of workers and subcontractors performing the work for the Change Order at the time such work is done. The use of labor classifications that would increase the cost of such work shall not be permitted.
(ii) M

Contractor hereby acknowledges that it accepts the risk that the services to be provided pursuant to the Scope of Work may be more costly or time consuming than Contractor anticipates and that Contractor shall not be entitled to additional compensation therefor.

1.13 Special Requirements.

Additional terms and conditions of this Agreement, if any, which are made a part hereof are set forth in the “Special Requirements,” attached hereto as Exhibit B and incorporated herein by this reference. In the event of a conflict between the provisions of Exhibit B and any other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of Exhibit B shall govern.

ARTICLE 2. COMPENSATION AND METHOD OF PAYMENT.

2.1 Contract Sum.

Subject to any limitations set forth in this Agreement, City agrees to pay Contractor the amounts set forth in Contractor’s Bid attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by this reference. Subject to any additions or deductions that may be made by change order or amendment, and any penalties or damages that may be assessed against Contractor, Contractor shall receive total compensation, including reimbursement of Contractor’s expenses, of an amount not to exceed Fifty-Eight Thousand Dollars ($58,000.00) (“Contract Sum”) for completion of the work. The Contract Sum shall constitute full compensation for furnishing all materials and for doing all the work contemplated and embraced in this Agreement; and also for all loss or damage arising out of the nature of the work, or from any unforeseen difficulties or obstructions which may arise or be encountered in the prosecution of the work until its acceptance by the City, and for all risks of every description connected with the work; also for all expenses incurred by or in consequence of the suspension or discontinuance of work and for well and faithfully completing the work, and the whole thereof, in the manner and according to the plans and specifications, and the requirements of the Bid Documents and this Agreement. The Contract Sum shall be made in the form of progress payments subject to retention pursuant to Section 2.4.

2.2 Invoices.

Each month Contractor shall furnish to City an original invoice for all work performed during the preceding month using the form attached hereto as Exhibit E and incorporated herein by this reference. By submitting an invoice for payment under this Agreement, Contractor is certifying compliance with all provisions of the Agreement.

All invoices shall include a copy of Contractor’s Certified Payroll and proof that Certified Payroll has been submitted to the DIR. Contractor shall also submit a list of the prevailing wage rates (including federal prevailing wage rates, if applicable) for all employees and subcontractors providing services under this Agreement, as applicable, with Contractor ’s first invoice. If these rates change at any time during the term of the Agreement, Contractor shall submit a new list of rates to the City with its first invoice following the effective date of the rate change.

2.3 Payment.
(a) Payments Made b y City . City shall independently review each invoice submitted by the Contractor to determine whether the work performed and expenses incurred are in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. Except as to any charges for work performed or expenses incurred by Contractor which are disputed by City, City will cause Contractor to be paid any progress payment within thirty (30) days of receipt of Contractor’s correct and undisputed -9-
01007.0006/1038686.3
invoice; however, Contractor acknowledges and agrees that due to City warrant run procedures, the City cannot guarantee that payment will occur within this time period. In the event that City does not cause Contractor to be paid any progress payment within thirty (30) days of receipt of an undisputed and properly submitted invoice and provided the Project is for construction, Contractor shall be entitled to the payment of interest to the extent allowed under Public Contract Code Section 20104.50. In the event any charges or expenses are disputed by City, the original invoice shall be returned by City to Contractor, not later than seven (7) days after receipt by the City, for correction and resubmission. Returned invoices shall be accompanied by a document setting forth in writing the reasons why the payment request was rejected. Review and payment by the City of any invoice provided by the Contractor shall not constitute a waiver of any rights or remedies provided herein or any applicable law.
(b) Payments Made by Contractor to Subcontractors . Contractor shall remit payments owed to subcontractors within fifteen (15) calendar days after receiving payments by City if payments are owed by Contractor to any subcontractor qualifying as a small business enterprise, and within thirty (30) calendar days if payments are owed by Contractor to any subcontractor other than a small business enterprise.

2.4 Retention.

Pursuant to Section 9203 of the Public Contract Code, City will deduct a five percent (5%) retention from all progress payments, which shall be released to Contractor no later than sixty (60) days from completion of the work in accordance with Section 7107 of the Public Contract Code.

In the event of a dispute between City and Contractor, City may withhold from the final payment an amount not to exceed one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the disputed amount.

2.5 Waiver.

Payment to Contractor for work performed pursuant to this Agreement shall not be deemed to waive any defects in work performed by Contractor.

2.6 Substitution of Securities.

(a) In conformance with the State of California Public Contract Code, Part 5, Section 22300, Contractor may substitute securities for any monies withheld by the City to ensure performance under this Agreement.

-10-
01007.0006/1038686.3
(b) At the request and expense of Contractor, Contractor has the option of establishing an escrow account with a state or federally chartered bank which shall serve as an escrow agent, for Contractor’s direct deposit of securities as a substitute for retention earnings required to be withheld by the City. Upon Contractor’s completion of its obligations hereunder, as evidenced by the City’s acceptance of the work pursuant to Section 3.3 hereof, the escrow agent shall return the securities to Contractor. The escrow agent shall notify the City within ten (10) days after deposit of the securities. The market value of the securities at the time of the substitution shall be at least equal to the cash amount then required to be withheld as retention. Securities sha ll be held in the name of the City and shall designate Contractor as the beneficial owner. Alternatively, on written request of Contractor, the City shall make payments of the retention earnings directly to the escrow account.

ARTICLE 3. PERFORMANCE SCHEDULE

3.1 Schedule of Performance.

Contractor shall complete the Project within ten (10) business days after receiving a “Notice to Proceed” from the City in accordance with any schedule contained in or required to be provided by the Proposal or Bid Documents , and any revisions thereof approved by the City in writing. Time is of the essence. If the work is not completed within said time period, liquidated damages shall apply. The term of this Agreement shall expire one (1) year following City’s acceptance of the Project.

3.2 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 ($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 se rvices 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.

3.3 Force Majeure.

The time period(s) specified in the Schedule of Performance for performance of the services rendered pursuant to this Agreement shall be extended because of any delays due to unforeseeable causes beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the Contractor, including, but not restricted to, acts of God or of the public enemy, unusually severe weather, fires, earthquakes, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, riots, strikes, freight embargoes, wars, litigation, and/or acts of any governmental agency, including the City, if the Contractor shall within ten (10) days of the commencement of such delay notify the Project Manager in writing of the causes of the delay. 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 -11-
01007.0006/1038686.3
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 the Agreement pursuant to this Section.

3.4 Final Acceptance.

Acceptance of the Project shall only be by action of the City Council. Neither the acceptance nor any prior inspections or failure to inspect shall constitute a waiver by City of any defects in the work. From and after acceptance, the Project shall be owned and operated by City.

As a condition to acceptance, Contractor shall certify to City in writing that all of the work has been performed in strict conformity with the Agreement and that all costs have been paid or supplied to City for security required herein, satisfactory to City, guaranteeing such performance.

(iii) The City’s written response to the claim, as further documented, shall be submitted to the Contractor within 30 days (if the claim is less than $50,000, within 15 days) after receipt of the further documentation, or within a period of time no greater than that taken by the Contractor in producing the additional information or requested documentation, whichever is greater.
(d) Meet and Confer. If the Contractor disputes the City’s written response, or the City fails to respond within the time prescribed, the Contractor may so notify the City, in writing, either within 15 days of receipt of the City’s response or within 15 days of the City’s failure to respond within the time prescribed, respectively, and demand an informal conference to meet and confer for settlement of the issues in dispute. Upon receipt of a demand, the City shall schedule a meet and confer conference within 30 days for settlement of the dispute. (e) M
ediation . Within 10 business days following the conclusion of the meet and confer conference, if the claim or any portion of the claim remains in dispute, the City shall provide the Contractor a written statement identifying the portion of the claim that remains in dispute and the portion that is undisputed. Any payment due on an undisputed portion of the claim shall be processed and made within 60 days after the City issues its written statement. Any disputed portion of the claim, as identified by the contractor in writing, shall be submitted to nonbinding mediation, with the City and the Contractor sharing the associated costs equally. The City and Contractor shall mutually agree to a mediator within 10 business days after the disputed portion of the claim has been identified in writing, unless the parties agree to select a mediator at a later time. (i) If the parties cannot agree upon a mediator, each party shall select a mediator and those mediators shall select a qualified neutral third party to mediate with regard to the disputed portion of the claim. Each party shall bear the fees and costs charged by its respective mediator in connection with the selection of the neutral mediator. (ii) 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.

01007.0006/1038686.3

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 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 an 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.
(g) G
overnment Code Claims.
