CITY OF CARSON 701 East Carson Street
Report to Honorable Mayor and City Council
Tuesday, March 18, 2025, 5:00 PM
CONSENT 11. To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: William Jefferson, Director of Finance FIN Administration Subject: CONSIDER A REPORT ON ALL INTRADEPARTMENTAL BUDGET TRANSFERS APPROVEDUNDER THE CITY MANAGER OR DESIGNEE AUTHORITY FOR THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY 2025 PERORDINANCE 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 interdepartmental 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 interdepartmental budget transfers authorized by the City Manager or designee for the period of February 2025 (Exhibit No. 1).

This report outlines interdepartmental 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.

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 interdepartmental 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 interdepartmental 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 interdepartmental 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 Interdepartmental Budget Transfers Report for City Manager or designee authority executed in February 2025.

V. FISCAL IMPACT
None.

Tuesday, March 18, 2025, 5:00 PM
CONSENT 13. To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Antonio Velasco, Revenue Manager FIN Business License Revenue Subject: CONSIDER APPROVING AMENDMENT NO. 3 OF THE AGREEMENT WITH BRI CONSULTINGGROUP, INC. TO PROVIDE AUDIT SERVICES FOR THE OIL INDUSTRY BUSINESS LICENSE TAX (CITYCOUNCIL) I. SUMMARY
Staff is seeking City Council approval of Amendment No. 3 to Professional Services agreement with BRI ConsultingGroup Inc. to extend the term of the agreement by three (3) years, add additional scope of work to allow BRIConsulting Group Inc. to continue audit services for six taxpayers within the City ﬁling tax returns during 2024 thru2026, and increase the total compensation of the audits by $448,000.00 thereby increasing the not-to-exceed-amount to $1,000,946.95 (Exhibit No 1).

II. RECOMMENDATION
Take the following action:

1. APPROVE Amendment No. 3 to Agreement for Contract Services by and between the City of Carson and BRI Consulting Group Inc. to increase the contract sum to $1,000,946.95 and extend the term to March 31, 2028; and

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

III. ALTERNATIVES
TAKE another action as deemed appropriate by the City Council.

IV. BACKGROUND
City and BRI Consulting Group, Inc. (BRI) under City Manager authority entered into a contract dated December 31,2001 where BRI agreed to provide the City services for review and analysis for oil engineering reports for Marathonand Phillips 66 oil reﬁneries and their impacts on oil tax audit reports previously prepared by BRI for a total not toexceed contract amount of $24,999 during a term of one year. Under sole source procurement authorized under CMC Section 2611 (e), after City Council approval, on May 9,2022, City and BRI entered into Amendment No. 1 of the agreement to expand the Scope of Services to include taxcompliance reviews of Marathon, Phillips 66, Kinder Morgan, and Equilon for compliance with the Oil IndustryBusiness License Tax as allowed by Carson Municipal Code Section 63516, and increase the contract sum by$225,001 bringing the total no tot exceed amount to $250,000, and to extend the contract term to February 29,2024. However, when BRI provided City the price estimate for these additional services, BRI underestimated theamount of work required to complete the services and as a result, BRI incurred an additional $52,946.95 beyond thebudget approved by the City Council to fund Amendment No. 1.

On April 26, 2024 City Council approved Amendment No. 2 to allow BRI to perform continued audit services.Amendment No. 2 increased the contract sum by $52,946.95 bringing the not to exceed to $552,946.95 andextending the agreement to March 31, 2025. Amendment No. 3 is extending the audit services being provided by BRI for auditing the tax years 2024, 2025 and2026 for six taxpayers within the City ﬁling tax returns, increasing the agreement by $448,000 to the not to exceedamount of $1,000,946.95 and extending the expiration date to March 31, 2028. Similar to Amendment No. 1 and Amendment No. 2, Amendment No. 3 will be procured as a sole sourceprocurement permitted under Section 2611(e) of the City's Municipal Code because services are unique due to theirquality and ﬁtness for a particular use and availability only from one (1) source. BRI is the only consultant that canperform these additional services because it has already worked on similar audits for the City and it would highlyinfeasible for the City to pivot to another consultant at this juncture. For this reason, the City's Purchasing Managerhas approved such procurement (Exhibit No 2).

V. FISCAL IMPACT
There is no ﬁscal impact to the General Fund. Auditing services costs are included in the 2025-2026 proposedbudget. FY 2024-25 expenditures are included in the proposed budget.

B. On May 9, 2022, City and Consultant entered into an amendment (“Amendment No. 1”) to expand the Scope of Services to include tax compliance reviews of Marathon, Phillips 66, Kinder Morgan, and Equilon for compliance with the Oil Industry Business License Tax as allowed by Carson Municipal Code Section 63516 (“ Amendment No. 1 Services”), where such Amendment No. 1 Services were procured as a sole source procurement permitted under Section 2611(e) of City’s Municipal Code; and
C. In order for Consultant to perform the Amendment No. 1 Services, under Amendment No. 1 the Term of the Agreement was extended to February 29, 2024 and the Contract Sum increased by $225,001 to a total not-to-exceed amount of $250,000 to cover such expanded scope of work; and
D. When Consultant provided City the price estimate for the Amendment No. 1 Services, Consultant underestimated the amount of work that would be required to complete the services and as a result, Consultant incurred an additional $52,946.95 beyond the budget approved by the City Council to fund Amendment No. 1; and
E. On February 29, 2024, the Parties entered into an amendment to the Agreement to increase the Contract Sum by $52,946.95 and to extend the Term by one month, to accommodate the additional time Consultant needed to complete the Amendment No. 1 Services (“Amendment No. 2”).

F. Similar to the Amendment No. 1 Services, Amendment No. 2 Services were procured as a sole source procurement permitted under Section 2611(e) of City’s Municipal Code because the services are unique due to their quality and fitness for a particular use and availability only from one (1) source.
- 2 -
01007.0001/784151.3

H. Similar to the Amendment No. 1 Services and Amendment No. 2 Services, the Amendment No. 3 Services will be procured as a sole source procurement permitted under Section 2611(e) of City’s Municipal Code because the services are unique due to their quality and fitness for a particular use and availability only from one (1) source.

Testing procedures will require the following information and include the following steps:

• Review receivable aging reports for the audit period to compare them with gross receipts reported.
• Review “Lockbox” payments received to test reported revenues vs payments received and then reconcile any differences.

CONSENT 17. To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Gary Carter, Director, Information Technology and Security ITS Administration Subject: CONSIDER AWARD OF A CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT TO HP COMMUNICATIONS, INC. FORPROJECT NO. 1797: CITYWIDE MUNICIPAL FIBER OPTIC NETWORK UTILITY UNDERGROUNDING ANDEXCAVATION CONSTRUCTION PHASE I. (CITY COUNCIL) I. SUMMARY
Project No. 1797: Citywide Municipal Fiber Optic Network Phase I is included in the Fiscal Year 2024-25 Capital Improvement Program. This project is the ﬁrst phase of the citywide network and includes constructing a ﬁber network backbone in the public right-of-way on Avalon Blvd and several city streets required to connect City Hall, City Yards Facility, and twelve (12) city parks (Exhibit No. 1). The twelve (12) City parks that will connect to the ﬁber network include Anderson Park, Calas Park, Carriage Crest Park, Carson Park, Del Amo Park, Dolphin Park, Dominquez Park, Foisia Park, Mills Memorial Park, Hemingway Park, Stevenson Park, and Veterans Park. The Phase I ﬁber network backbone project will enhance broadband for City operations and provide business continuity supporting a resilient community, improve the City’s free Wi-Fi services to residents at City parks, deliver a robust network for the City’s public safety cameras, and support the network capacity required for live streaming global events, such as the 2026 World Cup and 2028 Olympics Events. Staff is seeking City Council approval to award a construction contract to HP Communications, Inc. in the amount not to exceed $26,919,708.50 (Exhibit No. 2) The total amount of the Citywide Municipal Fiber Optic Network Phase I project is $26,919,708.50.

II. RECOMMENDATION

1. AWARD a construction contract for Project No. 1797: Citywide Municipal Fiber Optic Network Phase I not to exceed the amount of $26,919,708.50, to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, HP Communications, Inc.

2. AUTHORIZE the Mayor to execute the contract with HP Communications, Inc. after approval as to form by the City Attorney.

III. ALTERNATIVES

1. REJECT all bids.

2. TAKE another action the City Council deems appropriate.

IV. BACKGROUND
On February 3, 2025, the City of Carson advertised notices for construction bids through RFP No. 25-012 (Exhibit No. 4), with two bids received through PlanetBids and opened by the Purchasing Manager, at the City Clerk’s oﬃce on March 3, 2025.

The project consists of utility undergrounding and excavation for installation of over 100,000 linear feet of conduit and ﬁber optic cable to connect twelve City parks within District 1, District 2, District 3, and District 4, and a primary network backbone installed on Avalon Blvd. The utility undergrounding will be completed primarily by directional boring methods, with open trench and bridge attachment utilized for a portion of the route when necessary. The contractor will install 254 ﬁber vaults throughout the ﬁber backbone for connection to future phases. HP Communications, Inc. did not include ﬁber splicing in their proposal. However, as multiple phases are planned for the citywide municipal ﬁber network, the City will bid and enter into a multi-year agreement with a ﬁber splicing vendor to support standardized splicing speciﬁcations, detailed documentation for construction and testing, and provide maintenance support for ﬁber splicing once operations are activated.

The bid results are as listed below (Exhibit No. 3):

(f) Apprentices. Contractor shall comply with and be bound by the provisions of Labor Code Sections 1777.5, 1777.6, and 1777.7 and California Code of Regulations Title 8, Section 200 et seq. concerning the employment of apprentices on public works projects.

“I am aware of the provisions of Section 3700 of the Labor Code which require every employer to be insured against liability for workers’ compensation or to undertake self-insurance in accordance with the provisions of that code, and I will comply with such provisions before commencing the performance of the work of this contract.”

-4-
01007.0006/712786.4
(j) Contractor’s Responsibility for Subcontractors. For every subcontractor who will perform work under this Agreement, Contractor shall be responsible for such subcontractor’s compliance with Division 2, Part 7, Chapter 1 (commencing with Section 1720) of the California Labor Code, and shall make such compliance a requirement in any contract with any subcontractor for work under this Agreement. Contractor shall be required to take all actions necessary to enforce such contractual provisions and ensure subcontractor’s compliance, including without limitation, conducting a review of the certified payroll records of the subcontractor on a periodic basis or upon becoming aware of the failure of the subcontractor to pay his or her workers the specified prevailing rate of wages. Contractor shall diligently take corrective action to halt or rectify any such failure by any subcontractor.

1.4 Compliance with Project Labor Agreement
If and to the extent that the work to be performed under this Agreement is within the scope of the City’s Project Labor Agreement, which was fully executed as of March 4, 2020, by and between the City and the Los Angeles/Orange Counties Building and Construction Trades Council and the Signatory Craft Councils and Unions (the “Project Labor Agreement”), City and Contractor acknowledge and agree that Contractor is required to comply with the provisions of the Project Labor Agreement, and that in the event of a conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the Project Labor Agreement, the Project Labor Agreement shall supersede and take precedence over the conflicting provision(s) of this Agreement.

1.5 Licenses, Permits, Fees and Assessments.

Contractor shall obtain at its sole cost and expense such licenses, permits, registrations, and approvals as may be required by law for the performance of the services required by this Agreement. Contractor shall have the sole obligation to pay for any fees, assessments and taxes, plus applicable penalties and interest, which may be imposed by law and arise from or are necessary for the Contractor’s performance of the services required by this Agreement, and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless City, its officers, employees or agents of City, against any such fees, assessments, taxes, penalties or interest levied, assessed or imposed against City hereunder.

1.6 Familiarity with Work.

By executing this Agreement, Contractor warrants that Contractor (i) has thoroughly investigated and considered the scope of work to be performed, (ii) has carefully considered how the services should be performed, and (iii) fully understands the facilities, difficulties and restrictions attending performance of the services under this Agreement. If the services involve work upon any site, Contractor warrants that Contractor has or will investigate the site and is or will be fully acquainted with the conditions there existing, prior to commencement of services hereunder.

1.7 Discovery of Unknown Conditions.
(a) Pursuant to Public Contract Code section 7104, Contractor shall promptly, and before the following conditions are disturbed, notify the City, in writing, of any: (i) material Contractor believes may be hazardous waste as defined in Section 25117 of the Health & Safety

-5-
01007.0006/712786.4
Code required to be removed to a Class I, II, or III disposal site in accordance with existing law; (ii) subsurface or latent physical conditions at the site, materially different from those indicated by information about the site made available to bidders prior to the deadline for submitting bids on the project; or (iii) unknown physical conditions at the site of any unusual nature, different from those ordinarily encountered and generally recognized as inherent in work of the character provided for in this 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, performance of any part of the work, shall issue a change order in accordance with 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 the Agreement. Contractor shall retain any and all rights provided either by contract or by law, which pertain to the resolution of disputes and protests between the contracting parties.

1.8 Unidentified Utilities.

To the extent required by Government Code section 4215, City will compensate Contractor for the cost of locating, repairing damage not due to the failure of Contractor to exercise reasonable care, and removing or relocating utility facilities not identified by City in the Bid Documents with reasonable accuracy, and for equipment on the project necessarily idled during such work. 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 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. This Agreement is subject to Government Code sections 4126 through 4216.9. Contractor must notify utilities and obtain an identification number before excavation or be subject to liability for damages to subsurface installations.

1.9 Trench Excavation.

Pursuant to Labor Code section 6705, if this Agreement is for more than $25,000 and requires the excavation of any trench or trenches five feet or more in depth, Contractor shall submit, in advance of such excavation, a detailed plan showing the design of shoring, bracing, sloping, or other provisions to be made for worker protection from the hazard of caving ground during the excavation of such trench or trenches. The plan shall be reviewed and accepted by the City, or a registered civil or structural engineer employed by the City to whom authority has been delegated, prior to the excavation. If the plan varies from the shoring system standards, the plan shall be prepared by a registered civil or structural engineer. This section shall not be deemed to allow the use of a shoring, sloping, or protective system less effective than that required by the

-6-
01007.0006/712786.4
Construction Safety Orders. This subsection 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, and no additional compensation will be allowed therefor.

1.10 Protection and Care of Work and Materials.

The Contractor shall adopt reasonable methods, including providing and maintaining storage facilities, during the life of the 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.

1.11 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) days 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 act as soon as requested by the City in response to an emergency. In addition, Contractor shall, at its sole cost and expense, repair, remove and replace any portions of the work (or work of other contractors) 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 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 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, to the reasonable satisfaction of the City, 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.

Contractor shall be obligated to fully reimburse the City for any expenses incurred hereunder upon demand.

1.12 Additional Work and Change Orders.
(a) City shall have the right at any time during the performance of the services, without invalidating this Agreement, to order extra work beyond that specified in the Scope of Work or make changes by altering, adding to or deducting from said work. No such extra work may be undertaken unless a written change order is first given by the City’s Director of Public Works or City Engineer, or either of their designees, to the Contractor, incorporating therein any adjustment in (i) the Contract Sum, and/or (ii) the time to perform this Agreement, which said adjustments are subject to the written approval of the Contractor (“Change Order”). All Change Orders must be signed by the Contractor and City’s Director of Public Works or City Engineer, or either of their designees, prior to commencing the extra work thereunder. (b) Any increase in compensation of up to the amount of contingency approved by the City Council at the time the Project was awarded to Contractor plus any additional subsequent contingency approved by the City Council, if any, taken either separately or cumulatively, or any increase in the time to perform of up to one hundred eighty (180) days and which are not detrimental to the Work or to the interest of the City, may be approved by the City’s Director of Public Works or City Engineer, or either of their designees. 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 Schedule of Compensation. If the rates in the Schedule of Compensation 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) Materials and Equipment: The cost of materials and equipment shall be at cost to Contractor or lowest current price which such materials and equipment are reasonably available at the time the work is done, whichever is lower. (iii) If the cost of the extra work cannot be agreed upon, the Contractor must provide a daily report that includes invoices for labor, materials and equipment costs for the work under the Change Order. The daily report must include: list of names of workers, classifications, and hours worked; description and list of quantities of materials used; type of equipment, size, identification number, and hours of operation, including loading and transportation, if applicable; description of other City authorized services and expenditures in such

-8-
01007.0006/712786.4
detail as the City may require. Failure to submit a daily report by the close of the next working day may, at the City’s sole and absolute discretion, waive the Contractor’s rights for that day. (d) It is expressly understood by Contractor that the provisions of this Section shall not apply to services specifically set forth in the Scope of Work. 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. City may in its sole and absolute discretion have similar work done by other contractors.
(e) No claim for an increase in the Contract Sum or time for performance shall be valid unless the procedures established in this Section are followed.

1.13 CARB Compliance.

For a project involving the use of in-use off-road diesel-fueled vehicles, as defined by 13 CCR 2449, Contractor shall obtain copies of the valid Certificates of Reported Compliance, as described in 13 CCR 2449(n), for the fleet performing services pursuant to this contract and all listed subcontractors, if applicable, prior to commencing any work pursuant to this Contract or any renewed contract with that fleet. Contractor shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the District, its officers, agents, employees and directors from any liability imposed arising from Contractor’s violation of any regulation set forth in 13 CCR 2449.

1.14 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.

2.1 Contract Sum.

Subject to any limitations set forth in this Agreement, City agrees to pay Contractor the amounts set forth in the Schedule of Compensation attached hereto as Exhibit C 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 Twenty-Six Million Nine-Hundred Nineteen Thousand Seven-Hundred Eight Dollars and Fifty Cents ($26,919,708.50) (“Contract Sum”) for completion of the work.

2.2 Invoices.

-9-
01007.0006/712786.4
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 by 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 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.

-10-
01007.0006/712786.4
(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.

(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 shall 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 Three Hundred Sixty Five (365) calendar 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 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.

3.3 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

-11-
01007.0006/712786.4
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 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.

4.2 Status of Contractor.

Contractor shall have no authority to bind City in any manner, or to incur any obligation, debt or liability of any kind on behalf of or against City, whether by contract or otherwise, unless such authority is expressly conferred under this Agreement or is otherwise expressly conferred in writing by City. Contractor shall not at any time or in any manner represent that Contractor or any of Contractor’s officers, employees, or agents are in any manner officials, officers, employees or agents of City. Neither Contractor, nor any of Contractor’s officers, employees or agents, shall obtain any rights to retirement, health care or any other benefits which may otherwise accrue to City’s employees. Contractor expressly waives any claim Contractor may have to any such rights.

4.3 Project Manager.

The Project Manager shall be Gary Carter, Director of Information Technology and Security, or any other person as may be designated by the City’s Director of Public Works or City Engineer. It shall be the Contractor’s responsibility to assure that the Project Manager is kept informed of the progress of the performance of the services and the Contractor shall refer any decisions which must be made by City to the Project Manager. Unless otherwise specified herein, any approval of City required hereunder shall mean the approval of the Project Manager. The Project Manager shall have authority, if specified in writing by the City’s Director of Public Works or City Engineer , to sign all documents on behalf of the City required hereunder to carry out the terms of this Agreement.

4.4 Independent Contractor.

Neither the City nor any of its employees shall have any control over the manner, mode or means by which Contractor, its agents or employees, perform the services required herein, except as otherwise set forth herein. City shall have no voice in the selection, discharge, supervision or control of Contractor’s employees, servants, representatives or agents, or in fixing their number, compensation or hours of service. Contractor shall perform all services required herein as an independent contractor of City and shall remain at all times as to City a wholly independent contractor with only such obligations as are consistent with that role. City shall not in any way or for any purpose become or be deemed to be a partner of Contractor in its business or otherwise or a joint venturer or a member of any joint enterprise with Contractor.

4.5 Prohibition Against Subcontracting or Assignment.

The experience, knowledge, capability and reputation of Contractor, its principals and employees were a substantial inducement for the City to enter into this Agreement. Therefore, Contractor shall not contract with any other entity to perform in whole or in part the services required hereunder without the express written approval of the City. All subcontractors shall obtain, at its or Contractor’s expense, such licenses, permits, registrations and approvals (including from the City) as may be required by law for the performance of any services or work under this Agreement. In addition, neither this Agreement nor any interest herein may be transferred, assigned, conveyed, hypothecated or encumbered voluntarily or by operation of law, whether for the benefit of creditors or otherwise, without the prior written approval of City. Transfers restricted hereunder shall include the transfer to any person or group of persons acting in concert of more

-13-
01007.0006/712786.4
than twenty five percent (25%) of the present ownership and/or control of Contractor, taking all transfers into account on a cumulative basis. In the event of any such unapproved transfer, including any bankruptcy proceeding, this Agreement shall be void. No approved transfer shall release the Contractor or any surety of Contractor of any liability hereunder without the express consent of City.

ARTICLE 5. INSURANCE, INDEMNIFICATION AND BONDS

01007.0006/712786.4
If the Project does not involve new or major reconstruction, then at the option of City, an Installation Floater may be acceptable. For such projects, a Property Installation Floater shall be obtained that provides for the improvement, remodel, modification, alteration, conversion or adjustment to existing buildings, structures, processes, machinery and equipment. The Property Installation Floater shall provide property damage coverage for any building, structure, machinery or equipment damaged, impaired, broken, or destroyed during the performance of the work, including during transit, installation, and testing at the Project site.

Products/completed operations coverage shall extend a minimum of three (3) years after project completion. Coverage shall be included on behalf of the insured for covered claims arising out of the actions of independent contractors. If the insured is using subcontractors, the policy must include work performed “by or on behalf” of the insured. Policy shall contain no language that would invalidate or remove the insurer’s duty to defend or indemnify for claims or suits expressly excluded from coverage. Policy shall specifically provide for a duty to defend on the part of the insurer.

If Contractor maintains broader coverage and/or higher limits than the minimums shown above, City requires and shall be entitled to the broader coverage and/or the higher limits maintained by Contractor.

(d) Primary/noncontributing. Coverage provided by Contractor shall be primary and any insurance or self-insurance procured or maintained by City shall not be required to contribute with it. The limits of insurance required herein may be satisfied by a combination of primary and umbrella or excess insurance. Any umbrella or excess insurance shall contain or be endorsed to contain a provision that such coverage shall also apply on a primary and non- contributory basis for the benefit of City before the City’s own insurance or self-insurance shall be called upon to protect it as a named insured.
(e) City’s Rights of Enforcement. In the event any policy of insurance required under this Agreement does not comply with these specifications or is canceled and not replaced, City has the right but not the duty to obtain the insurance it deems necessary and any premium paid by City will be promptly reimbursed by Contractor or City will withhold amounts sufficient to pay premium from Contractor payments. In the alternative, City may cancel this Agreement. (f) Waiver of Subrogation. All insurance coverage maintained or procured pursuant to this agreement shall be endorsed to waive subrogation against City, its elected or appointed officers, agents, officials, employees and volunteers or shall specifically allow Contractor or others providing insurance evidence in compliance with these specifications to waive their right of recovery prior to a loss. Contractor hereby waives its own right of recovery against City, and shall require similar written express waivers and insurance clauses from each of its subcontractors.
(g) Enforcement of Contract Provisions (non-estoppel). Contractor acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of the City to inform Contractor of non-compliance with any requirement imposes no additional obligations on the City nor does it waive any rights hereunder.
(h) Requirements Not Limiting. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this section are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits or other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any insurance. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not intended by any party or insured to be all inclusive, or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a waiver of any type. If the Contractor maintains higher limits than the minimums shown above, the City requires and shall be entitled to coverage for the higher limits maintained by the Contractor. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the City.
(i) Notice of Cancellation. Contractor agrees to oblige its insurance agent or broker and insurers to provide to City with a thirty (30) day notice of cancellation (except for nonpayment for which a ten (10) day notice is required) or nonrenewal of coverage for each required coverage.
(j) Additional Insured Status. General and auto liability policies shall provide or be endorsed to provide that City and its officers, officials, employees, and agents, and volunteers shall be additional insureds under such policies. This provision shall also apply to any excess/umbrella liability policies.

-16-
01007.0006/712786.4
(k) Prohibition of Undisclosed Coverage Limitations. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been first submitted to City and approved of in writing. (l) Separation of Insureds. A severability of interests provision must apply for all additional insureds ensuring that Contractor’s insurance shall apply separately to each insured against whom claim is made or suit is brought, except with respect to the insurer’s limits of liability. The policy(ies) shall not contain any cross-liability exclusions. (m) Pass Through Clause. Contractor agrees to ensure that its subconsultants, subcontractors, and any other party involved with the project who is brought onto or involved in the project by Contractor, provide the same minimum insurance coverage and endorsements required of Contractor. Contractor agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section. Contractor agrees that upon request, all agreements with consultants, subcontractors, and others engaged in the project will be submitted to City for review. (n) Agency’s Right to Revise Specifications. The City reserves the right at any time during the term of the contract to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the Contractor ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to the Contractor, the City and Contractor may renegotiate Contractor’s compensation.
(o) Self-Insured Retentions. Any self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by City. City reserves the right to require that self-insured retentions be eliminated, lowered, or replaced by a deductible. Self-insurance will not be considered to comply with these specifications unless approved by City.
(p) Timely Notice of Claims. Contractor shall give City prompt and timely notice of claims made or suits instituted that arise out of or result from Contractor’s performance under this Agreement, and that involve or may involve coverage under any of the required liability policies.
(q) Additional Insurance. Contractor shall also procure and maintain, at its own cost and expense, any additional kinds of insurance, which in its own judgment may be necessary for its proper protection and prosecution of the work.

5.3 Indemnification.

Contractor shall indemnify, defend with legal counsel approved by City, and hold harmless City, its officers, officials, employees and volunteers (each, an “Indemnitee”) from and against all liability, loss, damage, expense, cost (including without limitation reasonable legal counsel fees, expert fees and all other costs and fees of litigation) of every nature arising out of or in connection with Contractor's performance of work under this Agreement or its failure to comply with any of its obligations contained in this Agreement, except such loss or damage which is caused by the sole or active negligence or willful misconduct of the City. Should conflict of interest principles preclude a single legal counsel from representing both City and Contractor, or should City otherwise find Contractor’s legal counsel unacceptable, then Contractor shall reimburse the City

-17-
01007.0006/712786.4
its costs of defense, including without limitation reasonable legal counsels fees, expert fees and all other costs and fees of litigation. The Contractor shall promptly pay any final judgment rendered against the City (and its officers, officials, employees and volunteers) with respect to claims determined by a trier of fact to have been the result of the Contractor’s negligent, reckless or wrongful performance. It is expressly understood and agreed that the foregoing provisions are intended to be as broad and inclusive as is permitted by the law of the State of California and will survive termination of this Agreement.

Contractor obligations under this section apply regardless of whether or not such claim, charge, damage, demand, action, proceeding, loss, stop notice, cost, expense, judgment, civil fine or penalty, or liability was caused in part or contributed to by an Indemnitee. However, without affecting the rights of City under any provision of this Agreement, Contractor shall not be required to indemnify and hold harmless City for liability attributable to the active negligence of City, provided such active negligence is determined by agreement between the parties or by the findings of a court of competent jurisdiction. In instances where City is shown to have been actively negligent and where City’s active negligence accounts for only a percentage of the liability involved, the obligation of Contractor will be for that entire portion or percentage of liability not attributable to the active negligence of City.

5.4 Notification of Third-Party Claims.

City shall timely notify Contractor of the receipt of any third-party claim relating to the work under this Agreement. City shall be entitled to recover from Contractor its reasonable costs incurred in providing such notification.

5.5 Performance and Payment Bonds.

Concurrently with execution of this Agreement, Contractor shall deliver to the City all of the following bonds if the Contract Sum should exceed $25,000:
(a) A performance bond securing the faithful performance of this Agreement, in an amount not less than 100% of the total compensation for this Agreement, as stated in Section

2.1. (b) A payment bond, securing the payment of all persons furnishing labor and/or materials in connection with the work under this Agreement, in an amount not less than 100% of the total compensation for this Agreement, as stated in Section 2.1.

All bonds shall be on the applicable forms provided in Exhibit “D” and Exhibit “E” attached hereto and made part hereof. The bonds shall each contain the original notarized signature of an authorized officer of the surety and affixed thereto shall be a certified and current copy of his/her power of attorney. The bonds shall be unconditional and remain in force during the entire term of the Agreement until released pursuant to Section 5.7 hereof.

5.6 Sufficiency of Insurer or Surety.

ARTICLE 7. ENFORCEMENT OF AGREEMENT; DEFAULT, SUSPENSION 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 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 Contractor 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 Default of Contractor.

Contractor’s failure to comply with the provisions of this Agreement shall constitute a default. In the event that Contractor is in default for cause under the terms of this Agreement, City shall have no obligation or duty to continue compensating Contractor for any work performed after the date of default and can terminate or suspend this Agreement immediately by written notice to Contractor. If the Project Manager determines that Contractor is in default in the performance of any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement, the Project Manager shall cause to be served upon Contractor a written notice of the default. Contractor shall have ten (10) days after service upon it of said notice in which to cure the default by rendering a satisfactory performance. In the event that Contractor fails to cure its default within such period of time, the City shall have the right, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to terminate this Agreement without further notice and without prejudice to any other remedy to which it may be entitled at law, in equity or under this Agreement.

7.3 Suspension and Termination.
(a) The City may at any time, for any reason, with or without cause, suspend this Agreement, or any portion hereof, by serving upon Contractor at least ten (10) days prior written notice. Upon receipt of said notice, Contractor shall immediately cease all work under this Agreement, unless the notice provides otherwise. If the City suspends a portion of this Agreement such suspension shall not make void or invalidate the remainder of this Agreement. (b) This Agreement may be terminated by either party for cause. The City may terminate this Agreement without cause upon thirty (30) days’ written notice of termination. Upon termination, Contractor shall be entitled to compensation for completion of any portion of the

-21-
01007.0006/712786.4
Project accepted by City up to the effective date of termination unless any portion of the Project is accepted by City after termination in which event Contractor shall be paid for such completed portion.

7.4 Dispute Resolution Process.

Section 20104 et seq. of the California Public Contract Code prescribes a process utilizing informal conferences, non-binding judicial-supervised mediation, and judicial arbitration to resolve disputes on construction claims of $375,000 or less. Section 9204 of the Public Contract Code prescribes a process for negotiation and mediation to resolve disputes on construction claims.

The intent of this Section is to implement Sections 20104 et seq. and Section 9204 of the California Public Contract Code. This Section shall be construed to be consistent with said statutes.

For purposes of these procedures, “claim” means a separate demand by the Contractor, after the City has denied Contractor’s timely and duly made request for payment for extra work and/or a time extension, for (A) a time extension, (B) payment of money or damages arising from work done by or on behalf of the Contractor pursuant to the Agreement and payment of which is not otherwise expressly provided for or the Contractor is not otherwise entitled to, or (C) an amount the payment of which is disputed by the City.

The following requirements apply to all claims to which this section applies:
(a) Claim Submittal. The claim shall be in writing and include the documents necessary to substantiate the claim. Claims governed by this procedure must be filed on or before the date of final payment. Nothing in this section is intended to extend the time limit or supersede notice requirements otherwise provided in the Agreement for the filing of claims, including all requirements pertaining to compensation or payment for extra work, disputed work, and/or changed conditions. Failure to follow such contractual requirements shall bar any claims or subsequent lawsuits for compensation or payment thereon. (b) Supporting Documentation. The Contractor shall submit all claims in the following format:
(i) Summary of the claim, including references to the specific Contract Document provisions upon which the claim is based.
(ii) List of documents relating to claim: (a) Specifications, (b) Drawings, (c) Clarifications (Requests for Information), (d) Schedules, and (e) Other. (iii) Chronology of events and correspondence related to the claim. (iv) Statement of grounds for the claim.
(v) Analysis of the claim’s cost, if any.
(vi) Analysis of the claim’s time/schedule impact, if any.

-22-
01007.0006/712786.4
(c) City’s Response. Upon receipt of a claim pursuant to this section, City shall conduct a reasonable review of the claim and, within a period not to exceed 45 days, shall provide the Contractor a written statement identifying what portion of the claim is disputed and what portion is undisputed. Any payment due on an undisputed portion of the claim will be processed and made within 60 days after the City issues its written statement. (i) If the City needs approval from the City Council to provide the Contractor a written statement identifying the disputed portion and the undisputed portion of the claim, and the City Council does not meet within the 45 days or within the mutually agreed to extension of time following receipt of a claim sent by registered mail or certified mail, return receipt requested, the City shall have up to three days following the next duly publicly noticed meeting of the City Council after the 45-day period, or extension, expires to provide the Contractor a written statement identifying the disputed portion and the undisputed portion. (ii) Within 30 days of receipt of a claim, the City may request in writing additional documentation supporting the claim or relating to defenses or claims the City may have against the Contractor. If additional information is thereafter required, it shall be requested and provided pursuant to this subdivision, upon mutual agreement of City and the Contractor. (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) Mediation. 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.

-23-
01007.0006/712786.4
(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. 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. (f) 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 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) 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. (h) Civil Actions for Claims of $375,000 or Less. The following procedures are established for all civil actions filed to resolve claims totaling $375,000 or less:
(i) Within 60 days, but no earlier than 30 days, following the filing or responsive pleadings, the court shall submit the matter to non-binding mediation unless waived by mutual stipulation of both parties or unless mediation was held prior to commencement of the action in accordance with Public Contract Code section 9204 and the procedures in this Section.

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

-24-
01007.0006/712786.4
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 or by stipulation of both parties.

If the parties fail to select a mediator within the 15-day period, either party may petition the court to appoint the mediator.
(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 (Title 4 (commencing with Section 2016.010) 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. (iv) In addition to Chapter 2.5 (commencing with Section 1141.10) of Title 3 of Part 3 of the Code of Civil Procedure, any party who after receiving an arbitration award requests a trial de novo but does not obtain a more favorable judgment shall, in addition to payment of costs and fees under that chapter, pay the attorney's fees of the other party arising out of the trial de novo.

7.5 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 Contractor 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.

7.6 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 exercise 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.

3 A. SUMMARY

The City of Carson (sometimes referred to as “City” ) has issued this Request for Proposals (“RFP”) to solicit proposals from qualified utility undergrounding contractor(s) (sometimes referred to as “UUC”) to provide Utility Undergrounding and Excavation Construction services for Phase I of the City of Carson’s Citywide Municipal Fiber Optic Network . The purpose of this RFP is to provide qualified firms with sufficient information to prepare and submit responses for consideration by the City’s Information Technology and Security Department related to the Citywide Municipal Fiber Optic Network Phase I Utility Undergrounding and Excavation Construction services.

The City of Carson currently has approximately 1,000 linear feet of underground fiber optic cabling throughout the City with plans for a citywide expansion of the network, primarily in the C ity’s Public-Right-of-Way. The City intends to coordinate the construction schedule and enhance project management through integration of the Citywide Fiber Optic Network Phase I construction with the City’s current and upcoming Public Right -of-Way construction projects . The primary objective for the RFP is to solicit a lump sum bid from qualified bidders, award a contract with a UCC to construct Phase I of the City’s municipal fiber optic network , including coordination of underground service alert site walks, all traffic control plans and services, and serve as a primary point of contact for all resident inquiries related to the construction. City will utilize the Agreement to also establish rates for any required change orders that result in an additional scope of work greater than the original scope included in the Phase I design. Please note that any replacement scope of work resulting in an equivalent scope of work, may be handled as a change order within the original scope of work utilizing the established lump sum not to exceed amount. The Phase I Construction Job Design serves as the required scope of work for submittal of the lump sum bid.

However, if any change order modifications are required in the design either prior to or during construction, the City will provide an updated design and allow UCC to submit an estimate for the updated scope of work. All change orders require prior approval by the City and only to the extent directed by the City, and must be in writing and in accordance with the Agreement.

The City seeks an exemplary Utility and Undergrounding and Excavation Contractor that represents all necessary disciplines and has the knowledge, utility construction experience within the City of Carson, and qualifications to provide quality utility undergrounding and excavation construction work according to the City of Carson’s Citywide Municipal Fiber Optic Network Phase I Project.

The City of Carson was incorporated as a California general law city on February 20, 1968. On November 6, 2018, with the City's voters’ approval, the City of Carson became a California chartered city. Carson is considered one of the youngest municipalities in the South Bay region of Los Angeles County. Carson is located less than 20 miles south of downtown Los Angeles and is considered part of the South Bay section of Los Angeles County. The City’s acreage is 19.2 square miles, and has grown considerably, b eginning with a population of 61,000 in 1968 and with a current population of close to 100,000 residents.

Carson prides itself on being a culturally diverse community and is accessible by air, rail and freeway. The City is close to the Los Angeles International Airport, the Long Beach Airport, the Port of Los Angeles, and the Port of Long Beach. The four freeways that surround or run through the City are the Harbor (110); the San Diego (405); the Artesia (91); and the Long Beach (710).

Additionally, the MTA Bus Line frequently stops in Carson on its route between Los Angeles and Long Beach and the City’s owned bus system, the Carson Circuit, provides convenient bus transportation within the City. There is no other city in the Los Angeles-Orange County region that

4 matches Carson’s ease of accessibility. The City is home to many large, modern petrochemical, electronics, automobile, aerospace, trucking, and high -tech facilities. Many of these companies have won regional and local beautification awards. A number of multinational companies also call Carson their home by locating their corporate headquarters here. Through cooperative efforts between the City and businesses, the vitality and future of Carson continues to flourish.

CITY OF CARSON 701 East Carson Street
Report to Honorable Mayor and City Council
Tuesday, March 18, 2025, 5:00 PM
CONSENT 18. To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Jacob Collins, Assistant Planner CD Administration Subject: CONSIDER APPROVING RESOLUTION NO. 25-030 AUTHORIZING SUBMITTAL OFAPPLICATIONS AND DECLARING THE CITY’S INTENTION TO APPLY FOR SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTALENTREPRENEURS, INC’S EPA EJ THRIVING COMMUNITIES SUBGRANT (CITY COUNCIL) I. SUMMARY
This action authorizes staff to apply for the Social and Environmental Entrepreneurs, Inc’s (SEE) EPA Environmental Justice Thriving Communities Subgrant program to address various brownﬁeld redevelopment needs after completion of initial environmental assessment. By applying for funding opportunities, the City is implementing adopted City policies pertaining to brownﬁelds and environmental remediation. These policies include, but are not limited to, the following:

Resolution No. 22-068 - This resolution declared the City’s intention to formally prioritize the remediation and development of vacant, environmentally challenged properties in the City and develop a comprehensive economic development ordinance to facilitate remediation and development of contaminated properties.

Carson 2040 General Plan Community Health & Environmental Justice Element, Policy CHE-G- 6 - "Explore opportunities and seek funding to remediate and redevelop brownﬁelds as sites to spur economic development, expand natural open spaces and parks, community gardens, and other similar health-promoting community revitalization activities, particularly in under-served neighborhoods." Economic Development Strategic Plan, Strategy 6.E - “Partner with property owners to assess, investigate, and clean-up contaminated sites, establishing Carson as a "national best-practices leader" in brownﬁeld remediation and redevelopment.”
If awarded, an anticipated amount of $150,000 to $350,000 per grant may be utilized for brownﬁeld assessment, brownﬁeld planning tasks, and development activities related to brownﬁeld sites. Awarded amounts are based on a tier system that depends on the complexity of the Project. Up to $150,000 may be granted to 'Tier 1' assessment projects that involve tasks such as sampling, testing, or monitoring a site's conditions. Up to $250,000 may be granted to 'Tier 2' planning projects that involve tasks such as re-use planning, community outreach, or vacant lot cleanup. Lastly, up to $350,000 may be granted to 'Tier 3' project development tasks such as blueprint development, project implementation, or permit acquisition. City staff is currently evaluating multiple projects for competitiveness under application guidelines including cleanup of vacant brownﬁeld lots around the city, implementation of a brownﬁeld workforce development program, and planning and development tasks for Friendship Mini Park expansion.

The funding source for this grant program is federal US EPA. With changes to the federal administration, this program may impacted. However, at this time, the application remains open and grant technical assistance providers are encouraging submission of applications.

II. RECOMMENDATION
TAKE the following action:

1. WAIVE further reading and ADOPT Resolution No. 25-030 , “A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CARSON, CALIFORNIA, AUTHORIZING SUBMITTAL OF APPLICATIONS AND DECLARING THE CITY’S INTENTION TO APPLY FOR SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL ENTREPRENEURS, INC’S EPA ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE THRIVING COMMUNITIES SUBGRANT"
III. ALTERNATIVES
TAKE another action the City Council deems appropriate.

IV. BACKGROUND
Environmental Justice Thriving Communities Grantmaking (TCGM) Program The adoption of Resolution No. 25-030 authorizes the submittal of applications for funding from Social and Environmental Entrepreneurs, a ‘grantmaker’ partnered with the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The estimated total funding available for grants under this funding opportunity is approximately $50 million for Region 9 (California, Hawaii, Nevada, Arizona). Each grant ranges from $150,000 to $350,000 and will be disbursed on a rolling-basis over the next three years. Given the need to address environmental justice in Carson, staff expects to submit more than one application. This funding opportunity will serve to help address brownﬁelds remediation and the redevelopment needs post initial environmental assessment.

City of Carson Brownﬁelds Program
City staff has received and is currently managing ﬁve brownﬁeld grants worth a total of $1.69 Million.

Approximately $1.19 Million was granted through the Department of Toxic Resource’s (DTSC) Equitable Community Revitalization Grant (ECRG) and the remaining $500,000 was granted through a EPA’s Multipurpose, assessment, revolving loan funds, and cleanup (MARC) grant.

Over $400,000 of these funds are being allocated to investigate sites around the City including the Sywest Development, Carriage Crest Park, and Housing Authority property at the southeast corner of Figueroa and Carson Street.

In addition to actively conducting investigations, City staff is working to increase capacity for outreach and marketing for these grants. A contract has been entered into with California State of University, Dominguez Hills (CSUDH) to help foster public-private partnerships with Brownﬁelds property owners around the City and inform the community about the progress being made in brownﬁeld redevelopment in the City of Carson.

CSUDH is also assisting with the creation of a Brownﬁelds Advisory Committee that will help guide staff make grant related decisions in line with relevant State and Federal guidelines.

The Brownﬁeld Program includes community-wide assessment funding that can be used for investigation/assessment of properties all around the City. These investigations will assist both property owners interested in re-developing or selling their property for re-development as well as developers looking to purchase underutilized property in Carson for redevelopment.

In addition to the above mentioned grants, the City submitted an additional application in late 2024 for additional funding through the EPA's MARC grant to establish a Revolving Loan Fund (RLF). This grant would provide further assistance to property owners and developers that might need to remediate their property before moving forward with redevelopment. Staff expects to receive a decision on funding for this grant from EPA by the end of Spring 2025.

If awarded, the TCGM Program will greatly enhance the brownﬁeld redevelopment process by making grant funds available to develop brownﬁeld sites post environmental assessment. This may include environmental clean up and the development of plans.

V. FISCAL IMPACT
None at this time. Should the City receive the award, the potential grant allocation to the City for the (TCGM) Program will range from $150,000 to $350,000 per grant, or up to $750,000 if applications for the three tiers are successful.
