From: Dr. Khaleah K. Bradshaw, City Clerk CLERK Administration Subject: CONSIDER ADOPTION OF A RESOLUTION NO. 25-132 ACCEPTING CERTIFICATION BY THE CITY CLERK AS TO THE SUFFICIENCY OF THE INITIATIVE PETITION ENTITLED “A PROPOSED INITIATIVE
ORDINANCE TO AMEND THE CARSON MUNICIPAL CODE TO PERMIT THE SALE AND USE OF CERTAIN FIREWORKS WITHIN THE CITY OF CARSON” (CITY COUNCIL)
I. SUMMARY
The Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk, Election and Document Processing Services, Data Entry and Signature Verification Department, completed the signature verification submitted to them on September 22, 2025, for A Proposed Initiative Ordinance to Amend the Carson Municipal Code to Permit the Sale and Use of Certain Fireworks Within the City of Carson. The results are shown on the attached certificate provided by Los Angeles County. Based on the results, the City Clerk has issued a Certificate of Sufficiency of the Petition, which is now being presented to the City Council as certification of the results of the examination, as required by the California Elections Code.
II. RECOMMENDATION
WAIVE further reading and ADOPT Resolution 25-132, “A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CARSON, CALIFORNIA, ACCEPTING CERTIFICATION BY THE CITY CLERK AS TO THE SUFFICIENCY OF THE INITIATIVE PETITION ENTITLED “A PROPOSED INITIATIVE ORDINANCE TO AMEND THE CARSON MUNICIPAL CODE TO PERMIT THE SALE AND USE OF CERTAIN FIREWORKS WITHIN THE CITY OF CARSON” III. ALTERNATIVES
None. State law provides that if the elections official finds the petition sufficient, the elections official must certify the results of the examination to the City Council at its next regular meeting. (Elections Code §§ 9211) IV. BACKGROUND
On March 18, 2025, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 25-2507, which amended the Carson Municipal Code to prohibit the sale, use, and discharge of "safe and sane" fireworks in the City of Carson. Previously, the sale of "safe and sane" fireworks from temporary stands was allowed, subject to issuance of a permit, and use and discharge of such fireworks was allowed during specified days and times around the Fourth of July season.
On April 28, 2025, the City Clerk's office received proper documents to propose an initiative ordinance to amend the Carson Municipal Code to permit the sale and use of certain fireworks within the City. Upon conducting a prima facie review of the initiative pursuant to Elections Code § 9210, the City Clerk forwarded the signatures to the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk for signature verification on September 22, 2025. The results of the signature verification are as follows:
Number of signatures filed: 9,495
Number of signatures verified: 9,495
Number of signatures found sufficient: 7,200
Number of signatures found not sufficient: 2,295
Pursuant to California Elections Code Sections 9211 and 9215, the required number of valid signatures for an initiative petition to be certified as sufficient to qualify for submittal to the voters at a municipal election is not less than 10 percent of registered voters of the City, as last reported by the county elections official to the Secretary of State at the time the Notice of Intent was published. It was determined that the number of registered voters of the City as last reported by the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder in its last official Statement of Registration to the Secretary of State at the time the Notice of Intent to Circulate an Initiative Petition was published was 64,047 registered voters, as of April 28, 2025. (Elections Code § 2187.) Therefore 6,405 (10%) valid signatures are required to certify the initiative petition as sufficient. The Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder verification found 7,200 valid signatures (Exhibit No. 2). The City Clerk/Election Official, subsequent to review of the findings by the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder, has found the number of signatures to be sufficient, with 7,200 valid signatures, and has therefore issued the Certificate of Sufficiency as required by the Elections Code (Exhibit No. 4).

Report to Honorable Mayor and City Council
Wednesday, November 5, 2025, 5:00 PM
CONSENT 22.
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Joshua Boudreaux, Director of Human Resources HR Administration Subject: CONSIDER ADOPTING RESOLUTION NO. 25-128, AMENDING THE CLASSIFICATION PLAN TO
ADJUST THE SALARY RANGE AND MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS FOR THE CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICER
CLASSIFICATION TO ACHIEVE PAY EQUITY WITH THE CODE ENFORCEMENT AND COLLECTIONS
OFFICER CLASSIFICATION (CITY COUNCIL)
I. SUMMARY
Staff recommends aligning the Code Enforcement Officer (CEO) salary range with that of the Code Enforcement & Collections Officer (CECO) classification to ensure internal equity and to update the CEO Minimum Qualifications to reflect journey-level duties. This alignment addresses existing disparities between the two classifications, as both perform comparable duties including NPDES compliance, yet only the CECO classification currently receives higher compensation and eligibility for an additional 5% certification pay. Current incumbents will be grandfathered under existing qualification requirements.
II. RECOMMENDATION
WAIVE further reading and ADOPT Resolution No. 25-128, "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CARSON, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING THE CLASSIFICATION PLAN, RESOLUTION NO. 77-111 TO ADJUST THE
SALARY RANGE AND MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS FOR THE CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICER CLASSIFICATION TO ACHIEVE PAY EQUITY WITH THE CODE ENFORCEMENT AND COLLECTIONS OFFICER CLASSIFICATION".
III. ALTERNATIVES
TAKE another action that City Council deems appropriate.
IV. BACKGROUND
Currently, there is a pay disparity between two closely related classifications:
Code Enforcement Officer (CEO): $41.33 – $52.72 per hour Code Enforcement & Collections Officer (CECO): $44.48 – $56.77 per hour (+5% certification pay for NPDES) CECOs receive higher compensation due to their collections responsibilities and are eligible for an additional 5% certification pay under Article III, Section 20.1 of the AFSCME 809 MOU when they obtain specialized licenses required for National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) compliance. However, Code Enforcement Officers also perform NPDES compliance as a part of their duties. Despite this shared responsibility, they do not receive the same pay or certification differential, resulting in an internal inequity between the two classifications.
V. FISCAL IMPACT
Detailed Cost Analysis with Calculaitons: Code Enforcement Officer Adjustment (7) Code Enforcement Officers to align with the Code Enforcement and Collections Officer classification. The cost is calculated through the remainder of the fiscal year, using the City's 4/10 work schedule and applying a 40% burden rate. Full math and steplevel detail is shown below.

Report to Honorable Mayor and City Council
Wednesday, November 5, 2025, 5:00 PM
CONSENT 24.
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Michael Whittiker, Community Services Director CS Community Services Subject: CONSIDER APPROVING AMENDMENT NO. 3 TO EXTEND THE CONTRACT SERVICES
AGREEMENT WITH LONG BEACH PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION COMPANY FOR ONE ADDITIONAL YEAR TO
PROVIDE CONTINUED FIXED-ROUTE BUS SERVICES (CITY COUNCIL) I. SUMMARY
On September 27, 2021, the City entered into a three-year Contract Services Agreement with the Long Beach Public Transportation Company (Long Beach Transit) to operate three new local bus routes (see Exhibit 1). The agreement included two optional one-year extensions that could be exercised upon mutual consent of both parties. On September 17, 2024, the City approved a three-month extension (see Exhibit 2) to allow additional time for both parties to finalize the details of the first one-year extension, which was subsequently authorized by the City Council on November 19, 2024 (see Exhibit 3).
City staff now requests approval of Amendment No. 3 (see Exhibit 4) to exercise the final one-year extension of the agreement. Effective January 1, 2026, this amendment would extend the contract term through December 31, 2026, at a cost of $2,060,500 for transit services provided during that period.
To ensure uninterrupted bus service beyond calendar year 2026, staff will begin discussions with Long Beach Transit to explore the feasibility of developing a new Contract Services Agreement following the expiration of the current term.
II. RECOMMENDATION
TAKE the following actions:
1. APPROVE the proposed Amendment No. 3 to the Contract Services Agreement between the City of Carson and Long Beach Public Transportation Company (Exhibit No. 4; "Amendment No. 3"); and,
2. AUTHORIZE the Mayor to execute Amendment No. 3, following approval as to form by the City Attorney.
III. ALTERNATIVES
TAKE another action the City Council deems appropriate.
IV. BACKGROUND
The City of Carson provides fixed-route bus services to residents and commuters traveling within the City and from neighboring communities. Four routes i.e., Routes 2, 4, and 8, are operated by Long Beach Transit (LBT) and run every 40 minutes between 5:31 a.m. and 8:35 p.m. on weekdays, and between 10:28 a.m. and 5:56 p.m. on Saturdays.
Route 2 serves areas between California State University Dominguez Hills, SouthBay Pavilion, City Hall, and Carson High School.
Route 4 runs along the entire length of Carson Street, connecting riders to the A (Blue) Line Metrolink station at Santa Fe Avenue and Del Amo Boulevard.
Route 8 travels the full stretch of 223rd Street, connecting to the A (Blue) Line Metrolink station at Pacific Place and Wardlow Road.
In addition, the City operates two neighborhood routes with City staff that connect riders to LBT, Torrance Transit, and Metro services.
On September 27, 2021, the City entered into a three-year Contract Services Agreement with LBT that included two optional one-year extensions. In April 2024, staff began discussions with LBT to exercise the first extension.
Because contract rates were also being renegotiated, Amendment No. 1 was approved to extend the initial term through December 31, 2024, at the existing rate, while preserving both one-year extension options and maintaining all other terms, including indemnification and insurance protections.
Amendment No. 2, approved on November 19, 2024, exercised the first one-year extension effective January 1, 2025, extending the term through December 31, 2025. As part of this extension, the parties agreed to a new annual rate of $2,060,500, reflecting a 16.4 percent increase over the original rate of $1,770,000, primarily due to higher labor costs identified by LBT. The amendment also required that, if the City’s Proposition A or C funding levels dropped by 10 percent or more in FY 25-26 compared to FY 24-25, the parties would reopen negotiations regarding compensation and service levels. Staff has confirmed that no such reduction occurred.
Staff now seeks approval of Amendment No. 3 to exercise the second and final one-year extension, continuing the agreement through December 31, 2026, at the same annual rate of $2,060,500. The amendment includes a similar provision requiring that, if Proposition A or C funding levels drop by 10 percent or more in FY 26-27 compared to FY 25-26, the parties will reopen discussions regarding service levels (but not compensation) and may, if mutually agreed, modify the agreement accordingly.
The proposed extension is exempt from the City’s competitive bidding requirements under Carson Municipal Code Section 2611(i)(7).
V. FISCAL IMPACT
Should the City Council approve the recommendation, funding for the first six months of the contract extension (January 1, 2026 - June 30, 2026) has already been budgeted in Fiscal Year 2025-26 as follows:
Proposition A: $412,100 (Account No. 218-90-940-180-6010) Proposition C: $618,150 (Account No. 219-90-940-180-6010) Total funding for this six-month period amounts to $1,030,250.
Funding for the remaining six months (July 1, 2026 - December 31, 2026) will be included in the proposed Fiscal Year 2026-27 Operating Budget, allocated to the same Proposition A and Proposition C accounts listed above, in the same respective amounts. Total funding for this future six-month period also amounts to $1,030,250.

CITY OF CARSON 701 East Carson Street
Report to Honorable Mayor and City Council
Wednesday, November 5, 2025, 5:00 PM
CONSENT 24.
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Nora A. Garcia , Director of Public Safety & Emergency Management PS Administration Subject: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT NO. 5 TO THE AGREEMENT WITH JOHNSON CONTROLS, INC., CONTRACT (23-083) FOR INSTALLATION OF ADDITIONAL CARD READERS AND
RELATED ACCESS CONTROL EQUIPMENT IN THE CITY HALL BASEMENT, AND TO INCREASE THE
CONTRACT SUM (CITY COUNCIL)
I. SUMMARY
On March 27, 2023, the City and Johnson Controls, Inc. (Contractor) entered into a contract to provide citywide video surveillance and access control systems at City facilities including City Parks, City Hall, the Community Center, and the Corporate Yard at a cost not to exceed $5,165,644.08 (Exhibit No. 3).
On October 24, 2023, the parties executed Amendment No. 1 (Exhibit No. 4) to increase the contract amount by $686,331.00 to temporarily add CCTV trailers and Mobile Marshall camera units under the City’s emergency procedures, increasing the contract sum to $5,851,975.08.
On December 5, 2023, Amendment No. 2 (Exhibit No. 5) was approved to upgrade the camera sensor types from single-sensor to multi-sensor cameras with additional cloud storage and to compress the one-year installation schedule to six months. This increased the contract sum by $659,861.35, bringing the total to $6,511,836.44.
On September 17, 2024, Amendment No. 3 (Exhibit No. 6) provided for installation of additional materials to expand the Access Control and CCTV Surveillance systems. Johnson Controls provided a $150,000 credit toward the $1,740,485.59 proposal, reducing the net increase to $1,590,485.59 and bringing the total contract sum to $8,102,322.03.
On May 6, 2025, Amendment No. 4 (Exhibit No. 7) was approved to further expand the Access Control and CCTV Surveillance systems in conjunction with the City Hall Basement and Emergency Operations Center renovation project (PW1731) at a cost of $144,447.68, increasing the contract sum to $8,246,769.71.
Staff is now requesting City Council approval of Amendment No. 5 (Exhibit No. 1) to authorize installation of additional card readers and related access control hardware in the City Hall basement. Johnson Controls has provided a quotation dated September 17, 2025, totaling $11,751.81 for two new card readers, cabling, programming, and commissioning (Exhibit No. 2). Staff recommends including an additional $30,000.00 as contingency for potential future reader or camera additions, bringing the total proposed amendment amount to $41,751.81. Approval of Amendment No. 5 will increase the contract sum from $8,246,769.71 to $8,288,521.52.
II. RECOMMENDATION
Take the following actions:
1. APPROVE Amendment No. 5 to the agreement with Johnson Controls, Inc. (Exhibit No. 1) to increase the contract sum from $8,246,769.71 to $8,288,521.52; and
2. AUTHORIZE the Mayor to execute Amendment No. 5, following approval as to form by the City Attorney.
III. ALTERNATIVES
TAKE any other action the City Council deems appropriate that is consistent with the requirement of law.
IV. BACKGROUND
City Council awarded a five-year contract to the lowest responsive and qualified bidder, Johnson Controls, Inc., to provide citywide video surveillance and access control systems including monitoring and maintenance of City Parks, City Hall, the Community Center, and the Corporate Yard at a cost not to exceed $5,165,644.08. City Council also authorized construction contingencies in the amount of $774,846.61 (15%) for any unforeseen construction work and other work that may be necessary to complete the project.
Due to increased crime-related activity at various City Parks and City Corporate Yard, staff made an emergency request to City Council to approve expenditures pursuant to Section 2611(d) of the City’s Municipal Code in the amount of $686,331.00 resulting in Amendment No. 1 which was approved by the City Council on November 7, 2023. This measure included the rental and temporary placement of CCTV trailers and Mobile Marshall camera units for a period of six (6) months. This amendment resulted in an increase to the base contract sum of $5,165,644.08 to$5,851,975.08. The amendment amount was applied to the $774,846.61 project contingency resulting in $88,515.61 remaining.
On December 5, 2023, staff returned to City Council for approval of Amendment No. 2. This amendment provided an upgrade to the Citywide video surveillance cameras to multi-sensors with additional cloud storage and changes to the schedule by compressing the one-year (1) installation period to six (6) months. This amendment increased the contract amount by $659,861.35, which increased the total contract sum from $5,851,975.08 to $6,511,836.44.
Resolution No. 23-195 was also approved allowing a budget transfer from Project PW1737 to Project PW1674 in the 2023-24 Capital Improvement Program budget. It is important to note that the City has adopted the 2021 Edition of the Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction (“Greenbook”) as part of the original agreement. Under the Greenbook, change orders for the amount contemplated in Amendment No. 2 are permitted without bidding considerations so long as both City and contractor agree.
On September 17, 2024, staff returned to City Council for approval of Amendment No. 3. This amendment provided the purchase and installation of additional equipment to expand the Access Control and CCTV Surveillance systems after it was determined that additional coverage and more access control points were needed. That purchase and installation came to a total of $1,740,485.59. However, the original agreement included a $150,000.00 allowance for additional services, which had not yet been used. As a result, Johnson Controls provided the City with a $150,000.00 credit reducing the cost of Amendment No. 3 to $1,590,485.59. Amendment No. 3 increased the contract amount from $6,511,836.44 to $8,102,322.03.
On May 6, 2025, staff returned to City Council for approval of Amendment No. 4. This amendment expanded system coverage within the City Hall Basement and Emergency Operations Center renovation project (PW1731) at a cost of $144,447.68, bringing the total contract sum to $8,246,769.71.
Staff is now requesting City Council approval for Amendment No. 5 to allow the installation of two additional card readers in City Hall to ensure complete access control coverage of secured entrances and internal doorways following completion of the basement renovation project. Johnson Controls has provided a quotation dated September 17, 2025, totaling $11,751.81 for the installation of two new card readers, cabling, programming, and commissioning. Staff recommends including an additional $30,000.00 to serve as contingency funding for potential future reader or camera additions, bringing the total amendment amount to $41,751.81. If approved, Amendment No. 5 will increase the total contract sum from $8,246,769.71 to $8,288,521.52.
V. FISCAL IMPACT
If Amendment No. 5 is approved, sufficient funds are available in Account No. 101-55-592-127-8004 (Public Safety Facility Security Equipment). No additional appropriations are requested. The additional $30,000 above the quoted cost will serve as contingency funding for potential future reader or camera additions under the City’s access control expansion program.

THIS AMENDMENT TO PUBLIC WORKS AGREEMENT (“Amendment No. 5”) by and between the City of Carson, a California municipal corporation (“City”) and Johnson Controls, Inc., a Wisconsin corporation (“Contractor”) is effective as of the 21st day of October, 2025. City and Contractor are sometimes hereinafter individually referred to as “Party” and hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Parties.”
RECITALS
A. City and Contractor entered into that certain Public Works Agreement dated March 27, 2023 (“Agreement”), whereby Contractor agreed to provide an external/internal Video Surveillance system and Access Control System for the City’s 12 parks, Corporate Yard, City Hall, and Community Center, to replace currently existing systems with a consistent, unified, and expandable solution, for a Contract Sum not to exceed $5,165,644.08. On March 21, 2023, the City Council authorized the expenditure of construction contingencies in the amount of $774,846.61 (15%) for any unforeseen construction work and other work that may be necessary to complete the project.
B. City has recently experienced increased crime and therefore is in need of immediately increased security and video surveillance measures to improve the safety and security of City facilities and City staff members at various City parks and Corporate Yard. In connection therewith and pursuant to Section 2611(d) of the City’s Municipal Code, City has initiated procurement of temporary CCTV trailers, mobile marshalls, and camera units by renting such equipment from Contractor for a period of six (6) months under City’s emergency procedures, and now City and Contractor seek to enter into this Amendment to formally memorialize and set forth the terms and conditions of Contractor’s provision of such additional equipment.
C. City and Contractor entered into an amendment to the Agreement dated October 24, 2023 (“Amendment No. 1”) to add temporary CCTV trailers, mobile marshalls, and camera units to provide additional security at City parks and the Corporate Yard on an equipment rental basis, thereby increasing the Contract Sum by $686,331.00, from $5,165,644.08 to $5,851,975.08.
Application of the $686,331.00 to the $774,846.61 contingency approved by the City Council resulted in $88,515.61 remaining in the approved contingency.
D. City and Contractor entered into another amendment to the Agreement dated December 5, 2023 (“Amendment No. 2”) to allow for Change Order 1 to change the camera sensor types from single-sensor to multi-sensor for several cameras for a cost not to exceed $480,942.48, so that there will be a total of 206 multi-sensor cameras and 662 single-sensor cameras for a total of 868 cameras, and Change Order 2 to reduce the Schedule of Performance from one year after receiving a Notice to Proceed to March 31, 2024 at an additional cost of $178,918.88, for a total additional cost of $659,861.35.
E. City and Contractor entered into another amendment to the Agreement dated September 17, 2024 (“Amendment No. 3”) to allow for Change Order 3 for Contractor to provide - 2 - 01007.0630 2055455.1
a turnkey, complete installation of additional material allowing for expansion of the new Access Control and CCTV Surveillance systems for an additional amount of $1,590,485.59, thereby bringing to adjusted Contract Sum to $8,102,322.03.
F. The Agreement provides for a $150,000 “allowance” to cover additional services required thereunder as requested and authorized by the City, for such items associated with permitting, trenching, conduit installation, electrical work, wiring, additional inspections, geotechnical services, public information and notifications, material/concrete testing, utility/permits, or other unforeseen conditions uncovered and authorized by the City. Because none of the allowance had been used, Contractor provided City a credit of $150,000 toward the cost charged to City under Change Order 3.
G. City and Contractor entered into another amendment to the Agreement dated May 6, 2025 (“Amendment No. 4”) to allow for Change Order 4 for Contractor to provide a turnkey, complete installation of additional material and labor to expand the new Access Control and CCTV Surveillance systems per the drawings and remodel of the City Hall Basement for an additional amount of $144,447.68, thereby bringing the adjusted Contract Sum to $8,246,769.71.
H. Now, the Parties seek to enter into this Amendment No. 5 to allow for Change Order 5 for Contractor to provide and install the materials necessary for the addition of two new card readers at the door locations designated by City for an additional amount of $11,751.81 and add another $30,000.00 as a contingency only in the event City elects to have additional card readers installed, thereby bringing the adjusted Contract Sum to $8,288,521.52.
I. Section 1.2 of the Agreement adopts the provisions of the 2021 Edition of the Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction, as updated by errata (“Greenbook”). The Greenbook authorizes the Parties to incorporate Change Order 5 into the Agreement.

Improving Safety & Sustainability
(1) SCOPE OF WORK. This proposal is based upon the use of straight time labor only. JCI and its subcontractors shall be provided access to the work site during regular business hours, or such other hours as may be requested by JCI, including sufficient areas for staging, mobilization and storage. Plastering, patching and painting are excluded. “In-line” duct and piping devices, including, but not limited to, valves, dampers, humidifiers, wells, taps, flow meters, orifices, etc., if required hereunder to be furnished by Johnson Controls, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as JCI), shall be distributed and installed by others under JCI’s supervision but at no additional cost to JCI. Purchaser agrees to provide JCI with required field utilities (electricity, toilets, drinking water, project hoist, elevator service, etc.) without charge. JCI agrees to keep the job site clean of debris arising out of its own operations. JCI’s obligation is limited to the scope of work set forth in JCI’s proposal and does not include any modifications to the work site under the Americans with Disabilities Act or any other law or building code(s). In no event shall JCI be required to perform any work JCI reasonably believes is outside the scope of work without a written change order signed by Purchaser and JCI. In the performance of the work, if JCI encounters conditions at the work site that are (i) subsurface or otherwise concealed physical conditions that differ materially from those indicated on drawings or (ii) unknown physical or pre-existing conditions of an unusual nature that differ materially from those ordinarily found to exist and generally recognized as inherent in construction activities of the type and character of the work, JCI shall notify Purchaser of such conditions. If such conditions differ materially and cause an increase in JCI’s costs of, or time required for, performance of any part of the work, JCI shall be entitled tom and Purchaser shall consent by change order to, an equitable adjustment of the contract price, contract time or both. Purchaser shall not charge any retention or back charge JCI for any costs or expenses without JCI’s written consent unless specifically noted in the statement of the scope of work or services undertaken by JCI under this Agreement, JCI’s obligations under this Agreement expressly exclude any work or service of any nature associated or connected with the identification, abatement, clean up, control, removal, or disposal of environmental hazards or dangerous substances, to include but not be limited to asbestos or PCSs, discovered in or on the premises. Any language or provision of the Agreement elsewhere contained which may authorize or empower the Purchaser to change, modify, or alter the scope of work or services to be performed by JCI shall not operate to compel JCI to perform any work relating to such hazards or substances without JCI’s express written consent. (2) DEPOSIT, INVOICING & PAYMENTS. Purchaser agrees to pay JCI pursuant to the progress billing schedule of values set forth in JCI’s proposal. If the schedule of values includes an upfront deposit, it will be paid within 30 days of contract signing and JCI will not commence work until the upfront deposit is received. Customer agrees to pay for materials, goods, and equipment (ordered, delivered, or stored) pursuant to the schedule of values, prior to installation commencement. JCI progress-based billing can also include services performed on-site or off-site. All invoices will be delivered via email, paid via ACH/EFT bank transfer and are due net 30 days from the date of invoice. ACH/EFT bank transfer details will be provided upon contract execution. The proposed total price is contingent on Purchaser agreeing to these payment and invoicing terms.
Waivers of lien will be furnished upon request as the work progresses to the extent payments are received. Invoicing disputes must be identified in writing within 21 days of the date of invoice. Payments of any disputed amounts are due and payable upon resolution. All other undisputed amounts remain due within 30 days from the date of invoice. This Agreement is entered into with the understanding that the services to be provided by JCI are not subject to any local, state, or federal prevailing wage statute. If it is later determined that local, state, or federal prevailing wage rates apply to the services to be provided by JCI, JCI reserves the right to issue a modification or change order to adjust the wage rates to the required prevailing wage rate. Purchaser agrees to pay for the applicable prevailing wage rates. In the event of Purchaser’s default, the balance of any outstanding amounts will be immediately due and payable. Payment is a condition precedent to JCI’s obligation to perform under the Agreement. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that timely payments of the full amounts listed on invoices is an essential term of this Agreement and that failure to make payment in full when due is a material breach of this Agreement. Purchaser further acknowledges that if there is any amount outstanding on an invoice, it is material to JCI and will give JCI, without prejudice to any other right or remedy, the right to, without notice: (i) suspend, discontinue or terminate performing any work and/or withhold further deliveries of equipment and other materials, terminate or suspend any unpaid software licenses, and/or suspend JCI’s obligations under or terminate this Agreement; and (ii) charge Purchaser interest on the amounts unpaid at a rate equal to the lesser of one and one half (1.5) percent per month or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law, until payment is made in full. JCI’s election to continue providing future services does not, in any way diminish JCI’s right to terminate or suspend services or exercise any or all rights or remedies under this Agreement. JCI shall not be liable for any damages, claims, expenses, or liabilities arising from or relating to suspension of services for non-payment. In the event that there are exigent circumstances requiring services or JCI otherwise performs services at the premises following suspension, those services shall be governed by the terms of this Agreement unless a separate contract is executed. If Purchaser disputes any late payment notice or JCI’s efforts to collect payment, Purchaser shall immediately notify JCI in writing and explain the basis of the dispute. JCI may increase prices upon notice to the Purchaser to reflect increases in material and labor costs. Prices for products covered by this proposal may be adjusted by JCI, upon notice to Purchaser at any time prior to shipment and regardless of Purchaser’s acceptance of JCI’s proposal or quotation, to reflect any increase in JCI’s cost of raw materials (e.g., steel, aluminum) inability to secure Products, changes or increases in law, labor, taxes, duties, tariffs or quotas, acts of government, any similar charges, or to cover any extra, unforeseen and unusual cost elements. (3) MATERIALS. If the materials or equipment included in this proposal become temporarily or permanently unavailable for reasons beyond the control and without the fault of JCI, then in the case of such temporary unavailability, the time for performance of the work shall be extended to the extent thereof, and in the case of permanent unavailability, JCI shall (a) be excused from furnishing said materials or equipment, and (b) be reimbursed for the difference between the cost of the materials or equipment permanently unavailable and the cost of a reasonably available substitute therefore.
(4) LIMITED WARRANTY. JCI warrants that the equipment manufactured by it shall be free from defects in material and workmanship arising from normal usage for a period of twelve (12) monthly from delivery of said equipment, or if installed by JCI, for a period of twelve (12) months from installation, whichever occurs first. Alongside this limited warranty, for all new York™ air or water-cooled chillers and/or Metasys™ building automation systems installed in the US and Canada and sold through JCI owned and operated branches, JCI also provides a Year One Service Agreement for such equipment, the scope, limitations, terms and conditions of which are at https://www.johnsoncontrols.com/yearoneservice (collectively, “Year One Service”). JCI will not provide a credit against purchase price if offered Year One Service is declined. No warranty is provided for third-party products and equipment installed or furnished by JCI. Such products and equipment are provided with the third-party manufacturer’s warranty to the extent available, and JCI will transfer the benefits, together with all limitations, of that manufacturer’s warranty to Purchaser. For equipment installed by JCI, if Purchaser provides written notice to JCI of any such defect within thirty (30) days after the appearance or discovery of such defect, JCI shall, at its option, repair or replace the defective equipment. All transportation charges incurred in connection with the warranty for equipment not installed by JCI shall be borne by Purchaser. These warranties do not extend to any equipment which has been repaired by others, abused, altered or misused, or which has not been properly and reasonably maintained. THESE

TO PUBLIC WORKS AGREEMENT
THIS AMENDMENT TO PUBLIC WORKS AGREEMENT (<Amendment No. 4=) by and between the City of Carson, a California municipal corporation (<City=) and Johnson Controls, Inc., a Wisconsin corporation (<Contractor=) is effective as of the 6th day of May, 2025. City and Contractor are sometimes hereinafter individually referred to as <Party= and hereinafter collectively referred to as the <Parties.=
RECITALS
A. City and Contractor entered into that certain Public Works Agreement dated March 27, 2023 (<Agreement=), whereby Contractor agreed to provide an external/internal Video Surveillance system and Access Control System for the City9s 12 parks, Corporate Yard, City Hall, and Community Center, to replace currently existing systems with a consistent, unified, and expandable solution, for a Contract Sum not to exceed $5,165,644.08. On March 21, 2023, the City Council authorized the expenditure of construction contingencies in the amount of $774,846.61 (15%) for any unforeseen construction work and other work that may be necessary to complete the project.
B. City has recently experienced increased crime and therefore is in need of immediately increased security and video surveillance measures to improve the safety and security of City facilities and City staff members at various City parks and Corporate Yard. In connection therewith and pursuant to Section 2611(d) of the City9s Municipal Code, City has initiated procurement of temporary CCTV trailers, mobile marshalls, and camera units by renting such equipment from Contractor for a period of six (6) months under City9s emergency procedures, and now City and Contractor seek to enter into this Amendment to formally memorialize and set forth the terms and conditions of Contractor9s provision of such additional equipment.
C. City and Contractor entered into an amendment to the Agreement dated October 24, 2023 (<Amendment No. 1=) to add temporary CCTV trailers, mobile marshalls, and camera units to provide additional security at City parks and the Corporate Yard on an equipment rental basis, thereby increasing the Contract Sum by $686,331.00, from $5,165,644.08 to $5,851,975.08.
Application of the $686,331.00 to the $774,846.61 contingency approved by the City Council resulted in $88,515.61 remaining in the approved contingency.
D. City and Contractor entered into another amendment to the Agreement dated _ December 5, 2023 (<Amendment No. 2=) to allow for Change Order 1 to change the camera sensor types from single-sensor to multi-sensor for several cameras for a cost not to exceed $480,942.48, so that there will be a total of 206 multi-sensor cameras and 662 single-sensor cameras for a total of 868 cameras, and Change Order 2 to reduce the Schedule of Performance from one year after receiving a Notice to Proceed to March 31, 2024 at an additional cost of $178,918.88, for a total additional cost of $659,861.35.
E. City and Contractor entered into another amendment to the Agreement dated September 17, 2024 (<Amendment No. 3=) to allow for Change Order 3 for Contractor to provide 01007.0006/928852.2
Exhibit No. 7

F, The Agreement provides for a $150,000 <allowance= to cover additional services required thereunder as requested and authorized by the City, for such items associated with permitting, trenching, conduit installation, electrical work, wiring, additional inspections, geotechnical services, public information and notifications, material/concrete testing, utility/permits, or other unforeseen conditions uncovered and authorized by the City. Because none of the allowance had been used, Contractor provided City a credit of $150,000 toward the cost charged to City under Change Order 3.
G. Now, the Parties seek to enter into this Amendment No. 4 to allow for Change Order 4 for Contractor to provide a turnkey, complete installation of additional material and labor to expand the new Access Control and CCTV Surveillance systems per the drawings and remodel of the City Hall Basement for an additional amount of $144,447.68, thereby bringing the adjusted Contract Sum to $8,246,769.71.
H. Section 1.2 of the Agreement adopts the provisions of the 2021 Edition of the Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction, as updated by errata (<Greenbook=). The Greenbook authorizes the Parties to incorporate Change Order 4 into the Agreement.

CITY OF CARSON 701 East Carson Street
Report to Honorable Mayor and City Council
Wednesday, November 5, 2025, 5:00 PM
CONSENT 25.
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Dr. Arlington Rodgers, Director of Public Works PW Engineering Subject: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH RJM DESIGN GROUP FOR DESIGN SERVICES FOR PROJECT NO. 1368 CARRIAGE
CREST PARK EXPANSION AND IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT (CITY COUNCIL) I. SUMMARY
On February 21, 2023, the City Council approved a Professional Services Agreement with RJM Design Group, Inc. for Project No. 1368 - Carriage Crest Park Expansion and Improvements. The original agreement was for a not-toexceed amount of $904,455 and had a term ending July 19, 2024. To allow for continued construction support services beyond the original expiration date, the City Council approved Amendment No. 1 on July 19, 2024, extending the agreement through December 25, 2025. However, during construction, several unforeseen circumstances arose, including significant delays in the delivery of prefabricated restroom and storage building materials. Consequently, staff from multiple departments collaborated with the project design team to shift from a prefabricated building approach to a traditional stick-built design for the new restroom and storage facilities. This transition allows for greater control over materials, schedule, and quality but also requires additional design work, coordination, and extended construction support from RJM Design Group once the improvements begin. To address these changes and the expanded scope of work, staff recommends that the City Council approve Amendment No. 2 to the agreement with RJM Design Group, Inc. The amendment would extend the contract term through June 30, 2026, and increase the not-to-exceed amount by $200,000, bringing the total contract value to $1,104,455.
II. RECOMMENDATION
TAKE the following actions:
1. APPROVE proposed Amendment No. 2 to the Professional Services Agreement with RJM Design Group, Inc. for Project No. 1368, Carriage Crest Park Expansion and Improvements Project, for an additional amount of $200,000, bringing the total not-to-exceed amount to $1,104,455, and extending the term of the contract until June 30, 2026; and,
2. AUTHORIZE the Mayor to execute the proposed Amendment No. 2 to the Professional Services Agreement following approval as to form by the City Attorney.
III. ALTERNATIVES
1. DO NOT APPROVE the proposed Amendment No. 2 to the Professional Services Agreement with RJM Design Group, Inc.
2. TAKE another action the City Council deems appropriate, consistent with the requirements of the law.
IV. BACKGROUND
Project No. 1368 - Carriage Crest Park Expansion and Improvements Project includes refurbishing the existing main park building and developing an additional ten (10) acres of land leased from the Los Angeles County Sanitation District. The project features a new playground, outdoor fitness equipment area, athletic ball fields with lighting, dog park, basketball court, restrooms and storage buildings, and a walking/jogging loop. The original Professional Services Agreement with RJM Design Group, Inc. was approved by the City Council on February 21, 2023, for a not-to-exceed amount of $904,455, covering the design of the park expansion. To allow for additional design support, Amendment No. 1 extended the contract term from June 19, 2024, to December 25, 2025.
Since the initial contract approval, the project has experienced unforeseen challenges and logistical delays that require additional design revisions and extended construction support. Specifically, the prefabricated restrooms and storage buildings initially planned for the site faced significant manufacturer delays, with fabrication and delivery estimated to take 35 to 40 weeks. To avoid further setbacks, staff recommends proceeding with traditional on-site construction (“stick-built” structures). This change requires new architectural plans and specifications from RJM Design Group, as well as additional construction support services.
In addition, staff and the project team have identified several enhancements to improve functionality, safety, and consistency with other park facilities citywide. These include the installation of security cameras and a monument sign reader board. To accommodate these additional design and construction support services, staff recommends approving Amendment No. 2 to the RJM Design Group agreement. The amendment would extend the contract term through June 30, 2026, and increase the not-to-exceed amount by $200,000, for a revised total of $1,104,455. A detailed breakdown of the proposed additional costs is as follows:
Scope Item Description Amount
Ground-Up Building Design
Architectural design for four
buildings now being constructed onsite rather than prefabricated.$110,120 Security Camera Enhancements
Design services for new security
camera installations on light poles,
including power and conduit
specifications.
$7,000
Monument Sign Reader Board
Attachment
Structural design for adding a
reader board attachment to the park
monument sign.
$7,800
Construction Support Services Extended construction support through project completion. $56,180
Design and Construction
Contingency
Reserve for unforeseen design and
construction needs. $18,900
Total Additional Services $200,000
The project remains on track for completion in Spring 2026.
V. FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed Amendment No. 2 to the Professional Services Agreement with RJM Design Group, Inc. adds $200,000 to the existing contract, increasing the total not-to-exceed amount to $1,104,455. If approved by the City Council, the additional $200,000 will be funded through Development Impact Fee (DIF) Park Funds allocated within Project Expense Account No. 289-80-820-274-8008, as outlined in Resolution No. 25-124, which is being considered as a separate agenda item at this meeting.

Consultant Initials
City, its respective elected and appointed officers, directors, officials, employees, agents and volunteers are to be covered as additional insureds as respects: liability arising out of activities Consultant performs; products and completed operations of Consultant; premises owned, occupied or used by Consultant; or any automobiles owned, leased, hired or borrowed by Consultant. The coverage shall contain no special limitations on the scope of protection afforded to City, and their respective elected and appointed officers, officials, employees or volunteers. Consultant’s insurance shall apply separately to each insured against whom claim is made or suit is brought, except with respect to the limits of the insurer’s liability.
Any deductibles or self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by City. At the option of City, either the insurer shall reduce or eliminate such deductibles or self-insured retentions as respects City or its respective elected or appointed officers, officials, employees and volunteers or the Consultant shall procure a bond guaranteeing payment of losses and related investigations, claim administration, defense expenses and claims. The Consultant agrees that the requirement to provide insurance shall not be construed as limiting in any way the extent to which the Consultant may be held responsible for the payment of damages to any persons or property resulting from the Consultant’s activities or the activities of any person or persons for which the Consultant is otherwise responsible nor shall it limit the Consultant’s indemnification liabilities as provided in Section 5.3.
In the event the Consultant subcontracts any portion of the work in compliance with Section 4.5 of this Agreement, the contract between the Consultant and such subcontractor shall require the subcontractor to maintain the same policies of insurance that the Consultant is required to maintain pursuant to Section 5.1, and such certificates and endorsements shall be provided to City.
Indemnification.5.3
To the full extent permitted by law, Consultant agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the City, its officers, employees and agents (“Indemnified Parties”) against, and will hold and save them and each of them harmless from, any and all actions, either judicial, administrative, arbitration or regulatory claims, damages to persons or property, losses, costs, penalties, obligations, errors, omissions or liabilities whether actual or threatened (herein “claims or liabilities”) that may be asserted or claimed by any person, firm or entity arising out of or in 01007.0001/857206.2 -9-
connection with the negligent performance of the work, operations or activities provided herein of Consultant, its officers, employees, agents, subcontractors, or invitees, or any individual or entity for which Consultant is legally liable (“indemnitors”), or arising from Consultant’s or indemnitors’ reckless or willful misconduct, or arising from Consultant’s or indemnitors’ negligent performance of or failure to perform any term, provision, covenant or condition of this Agreement, and in connection therewith:
Consultant will defend any action or actions filed in connection with any of said claims or liabilities and will pay all costs and expenses, including legal costs and attorneys’ fees incurred in connection therewith;
(a)
Consultant will promptly pay any judgment rendered against the City, its officers, agents or employees for any such claims or liabilities arising out of or in connection with the negligent performance of or failure to perform such work, operations or activities of Consultant hereunder; and Consultant agrees to save and hold the City, its officers, agents, and employees harmless therefrom;
(b)
In the event the City, its officers, agents or employees is made a party to any action or proceeding filed or prosecuted against Consultant for such damages or other claims arising out of or in connection with the negligent performance of or failure to perform the work, operation or activities of Consultant hereunder, Consultant agrees to pay to the City, its officers, agents or employees, any and all costs and expenses incurred by the City, its officers, agents or employees in such action or proceeding, including but not limited to, legal costs and attorneys’ fees.
(c)
Consultant shall incorporate similar indemnity agreements with its subcontractors and if it fails to do so Consultant shall be frilly responsible to indemnify City hereunder therefore, and failure of City to monitor compliance with these provisions shall not be a waiver hereof. This indemnification includes claims or liabilities arising from any negligent or wrongful act, error or omission, or reckless or willful misconduct of Consultant in the performance of professional services hereunder. The provisions of this Section do not apply to claims or liabilities occurring as a result of City’s sole negligence or willful acts or omissions, but, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall apply to claims and liabilities resulting in part from City’s negligence, except that design professionals’ indemnity hereunder shall be limited to claims and liabilities arising out of the negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct of the design professional. The indemnity obligation shall be binding on successors and assigns of Consultant and shall survive termination of this Agreement.
5.4 Sufficiency of Insurer.
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 Manager”) due to unique circumstances. If this Agreement continues for more than 3 years duration, or in the event the risk manager determines that the work or services to be performed under this Agreement creates an increased or decreased risk of loss to the City, the Consultant 01007.0001/857206.2 -10-
agrees that the minimum limits of the insurance policies may be changed accordingly upon receipt of written notice from the Risk Manager.

In the event of dissolution of Consultant’s business, custody of the books and records may be given to City, and access shall be provided by Consultant’s successor in interest. Notwithstanding the above, the Consultant shall fully cooperate with the City in providing access to the books and records if a public records request is made and disclosure is required by law including but not limited to the California Public Records Act.
Reports.6.2
Consultant shall periodically prepare and submit to the Contract Officer such reports concerning the performance of the services required by this Agreement as the Contract Officer shall require. Consultant hereby acknowledges that the City is greatly concerned about the cost of work and services to be performed pursuant to this Agreement. For this reason, Consultant agrees that if Consultant becomes aware of any facts, circumstances, techniques, or events that may or will materially increase or decrease the cost of the work or services contemplated herein or, if Consultant is providing design services, the cost of the project being designed, Consultant shall promptly notify the Contract Officer of said fact, circumstance, technique or event and the estimated increased or decreased cost related thereto and, if Consultant is providing design services, the estimated increased or decreased cost estimate for the project being designed.
Ownership of Documents.6.3
All drawings, specifications, maps, designs, photographs, studies, surveys, data, notes, computer files, reports, records, documents and other materials (the “documents and materials”) prepared by Consultant, its employees, subcontractors and agents in the performance of this Agreement shall be the property of City and shall be delivered to City upon request of the Contract Officer or upon the termination of this Agreement, and Consultant shall have no claim for further employment or additional compensation as a result of the exercise by City of its full rights of ownership use, reuse, or assignment of the documents and materials hereunder. Any use, reuse or assignment of such completed documents for other projects and/or use of uncompleted documents without specific written authorization by the Consultant will be at the City’s sole risk and without 01007.0001/857206.2 -11-
liability to Consultant, and Consultant’s guarantee and warranties shall not extend to such use, reuse or assignment. Consultant may retain copies of such documents for its own use. Consultant shall have the right to use the concepts embodied therein. All subcontractors shall provide for assignment to City of any documents or materials prepared by them, and in the event Consultant fails to secure such assignment, Consultant shall indemnify City for all damages resulting therefrom. Moreover, Consultant with respect to any documents and materials that may qualify as “works made for hire” as defined in 17 U.S.C. § 101, such documents and materials are hereby deemed “works made for hire” for the City.
Confidentiality and Release of Information.6.4
All information gained or work product produced by Consultant in performance of this Agreement shall be considered confidential, unless such information is in the public domain or already known to Consultant. Consultant shall not release or disclose any such information or work product to persons or entities other than City without prior written authorization from the Contract Officer.
(a)
Consultant, its officers, employees, agents or subcontractors, shall not, without prior written authorization from the Contract Officer or unless requested by the City Attorney, voluntarily provide documents, declarations, letters of support, testimony at depositions, response to interrogatories or other information concerning the work performed under this Agreement. Response to a subpoena or court order shall not be considered “voluntary” provided Consultant gives City notice of such court order or subpoena. (b)
If Consultant, or any officer, employee, agent or subcontractor of Consultant, provides any information or work product in violation of this Agreement, then City shall have the right to reimbursement and indemnity from Consultant for any damages, costs and fees, including attorneys fees, caused by or incurred as a result of Consultant’s conduct. (c)
Consultant shall promptly notify City should Consultant, its officers, employees, agents or subcontractors be served with any summons, complaint, subpoena, notice of deposition, request for documents, interrogatories, request for admissions or other discovery request, court order or subpoena from any party regarding this Agreement and the work performed there under. City retains the right, but has no obligation, to represent Consultant or be present at any deposition, hearing or similar proceeding. 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.
(d)
ARTICLE 7. ENFORCEMENT OF AGREEMENT AND TERMINATION
California Law.7.1
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 Consultant covenants and agrees to submit to the personal 01007.0001/857206.2 -12-
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. 01007.0001/857206.2 -13-
Rights and Remedies are Cumulative.7.5
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.
Legal Action.7.6
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.
7.7 Termination Prior to Expiration of Term.
This Section shall govern any termination of this Contract except as specifically provided in the following Section for termination for cause. The City reserves the right to terminate this Contract at any time, with or without cause, upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to Consultant, except that where termination is due to the fault of the Consultant, the period of notice may be such shorter time as may be determined by the Contract Officer. In addition, the Consultant reserves the right to terminate this Contract 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 pursuant to this Section, the terminating party need not provide the non-terminating party with the opportunity to cure pursuant to Section 7.2.
Termination for Default of Consultant.7.8
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. 01007.0001/857206.2 -14-
7.9 Attorneys’ Fees.
If either party to this Agreement is required to initiate or defend or made a party to any action or proceeding in any way connected with this Agreement, the prevailing party in such action or proceeding, in addition to any other relief which may be granted, whether legal or equitable, shall be entitled to reasonable attorney’s fees. Attorney’s fees shall include attorney’s fees on any appeal, and in addition a party entitled to attorney’s fees shall be entitled to all other reasonable costs for investigating such action, taking depositions and discovery and all other necessary costs the court allows which are incurred in such litigation. All such fees shall be deemed to have accrued on commencement of such action and shall be enforceable whether or not such action is prosecuted to judgment.
ARTICLE 8. CITY OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES: NON-DISCRIMINATION Non-liability of City Officers and Employees.8.1
No officer or employee of the City shall be personally liable to the Consultant, or any successor in interest, in the event of any default or breach by the City or for any amount which may become due to the Consultant or to its successor, or for breach of any obligation of the terms of this Agreement.
8.2 Conflict of Interest.
Consultant covenants that neither it, nor any officer or principal of its firm, has or shall acquire any interest, directly or indirectly, which would conflict in any manner with the interests of City or which would in any way hinder Consultant’s performance of services under this Agreement. Consultant further covenants that in the performance of this Agreement, no person having any such interest shall be employed by it as an officer, employee, agent or subcontractor without the express written consent of the Contract Officer. Consultant agrees to at all times avoid conflicts of interest or the appearance of any conflicts of interest with the interests of City in the performance of this Agreement.
No officer or employee of the City shall have any financial interest, direct or indirect, in this Agreement nor shall any such officer or employee participate in any decision relating to the Agreement which affects her/his financial interest or the financial interest of any corporation, partnership or association in which (s)he is, directly or indirectly, interested, in violation of any State statute or regulation. The Consultant warrants that it has not paid or given and will not pay or give any third party any money or other consideration for obtaining this Agreement.

Consultant hereby promises and agrees to comply with all of the provisions of the Federal Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C.A. §§ 1101, et seq., as amended, and in connection therewith, shall not employ unauthorized aliens as defined therein. Should Consultant so employ such unauthorized aliens for the performance of work and/or services covered by this Agreement, and should any liability or sanctions be imposed against City for such use of unauthorized aliens, Consultant hereby agrees to and shall reimburse City for the cost of all such liabilities or sanctions imposed, together with any and all costs, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by City.

The Phases and Tasks for performance of the services will be as follows:B.
Phase A - Project Familiarization and Pre-Desien. To start, Consultant will perform Tasks 1 through 3 (below) simultaneously as a part of the pre-design tasks that familiarizes Consultant’s design team with the project parameters and conditions.
1. Task 1: Project Management
To get the process started, Consultant’s design team will conduct a virtual kick-off meeting with City staff to review project background, project goals and objectives, project scope of work, itemizing critical and high priorities, construction budget, and review of available documents. In general, Consultant anticipates the City will provide all available utility maps, irrigation as-builts and tree survey information, if available. At this kickoff meeting, Consultant will also establish communication protocols, for coordination and reporting of information back to the City, subject to the requirements of this Agreement.
Consultant will coordinate with the City to schedule progress and coordination meetings, prepare meeting agendas, and prepare meeting minutes after their conclusion, subject to the requirements of this Agreement.
2. Task 2: Data Gathering and Analysis
After becoming acquainted with City staff and their intended goals for the project, Consultant will conduct an existing facilities / inventory of the site and the assemblage of background information. Subsequent design decisions will be based on this information as available. Consultant’s team will conduct a visual field investigation to photo document existing conditions including sun patterns and orientation, vehicular and pedestrian 01007.0001/857206.2 A-2
access and circulation, fire access, drainage, topography, security, and physical limitations/extemal influences. Consultant will then review local codes and standards applicable to site development, as well as a thorough review of Los Angeles County Board of Health standards in relation to the concession stand food service.
3. Task 3: Site Investigations
During this preliminary phase, Consultant’s design team will also begin work on the items needed prior to the preparation of the conceptual design, which work will include the following elements:
(1) Topographical Survey - Preparation of base map using new survey information to show existing conditions, to include edge of parking lot for accessible parking spaces, path of travel, above ground utilities, trees, and vegetation.
(2) Geotechnical Soils Report and Soil Infiltration Tests - Prepare Geotechnical soil infiltration tests for the viability of storm water treatment with infiltration best management practices. A formal geotechnical report will include a summary of subsurface conditions, a description of the general geology of the site and geologic constraints that could have an effect on development, and engineering design considerations including seismic design parameters and recommendations for appropriate foundation design.
Agronomic Soil Analysis - Specifically for sports fields to provide prescriptive soil management practices to support active play by local sports leagues, but also for landscape areas to ensure soil is viable to support plant material and identify any required amendments.
(3)
Phase B - Conceptual Desisn/Asency Coordination. Continuing the development process, Consultant will conduct Tasks 4 through 6 concurrently in order to properly conceptualize the potential of the site with the limitations imposed outside agency jurisdictions as well as easement and right-of-way restrictions on the site.
4. Task 4: Preliminary Design
Based upon information garnered from City staff and an evaluation of the previously prepared park concept plan, Consultant shall prepare a preliminary conceptual plan at an appropriate scale showing spatial relationships for each potential feature/element. These plans will illustrate the adjacent relationships of the site elements, parking considerations, and the continuity of the park site as a whole. Consultant will meet with City staff to review the preliminary conceptual plan and incorporate staff comments in a refinement of the preliminary design. With City approval of the preliminary conceptual plan, Consultant will develop a revised conceptual plan to accommodate outstanding City comments. At this time, Consultant will commence the development of a comprehensive 3D model 01007.0001/857206.2 A-3
in order to develop the requested renderings of the various proposed park elements, including specific areas like the dog park areas and ballfield complex, as well as renderings of the new architectural features and play areas. Additional items to be included as part of the preliminary design phase will involve the lighting analysis using photometries of the proposed light fixtures in order to provide sufficient light levels for safety and security. During this time, Consultant will develop a preliminary plant list identifying the landscape material to be used with representative images on a photo board for review and approval. The resulting plans and exhibits will provide illustratives for the project site to be shared with the community at two City Council meetings, and be used as the basis for the development of the itemized construction cost estimate. Consultant will meet with City staff to review revised conceptual plan and prepare for sharing this information with the community in the following tasks.
5. Task 5: Property, Easement and Right-of-Way Support
As a preliminary step before solidifying the intent of the conceptual design, Consultant’s design team will thoroughly review the property boundaries, agency easements and other jurisdictional requirements of the design process. This measure will ensure that Consultant clearly identifies the developable area of the park site while evaluating the restrictions of development within said easements. Consultant shall prepare legal descriptions and plats for all required easements in accordance with City guidelines. All documentation necessary for vacation of public right-of-way (ROW) and merging City parcels shall be provided as directed by the City Engineer.
Task 6: Jurisdictional Coordination. As indicated in the easement phase support, Consultant’s design team will engage with the local utility agencies for the site to assess the power supply with Southern California Edison (SCE) to provide the necessary amperage to power the requested sports field lighting in addition to the safety lighting located throughout the park to provide security and visibility to park visitors. Similarly, the design team will work with the Dominguez District of California Water Service (CWS) to research the availability of reclaimed water usage for landscape irrigation and the connections for potable water for the various facilities programmed throughout the site.
6. Phase C - Construction Document Development. With approval from City Council on the conceptual park plan, Consultant can begin the development of the construction documents. Once again, Consultant will work on several itemized tasks simultaneously in order to be time efficient.
7. Tasks 7 & 8: SCE and CWS Plans of Service.
01007.0001/857206.2 A-4
After making connections with the local utility agencies in Consultant’s early task of Jurisdictional Coordination, Consultant will establish intended plans of service for both water and power. Using its preliminary research to establish its power and water requirements, Consultant can prepare a utility plan that clearly outlines the infrastructure location and routes to the amenity connections. These plans will be folded into Consultant’s complete construction set used for contractor bidding.
Task 9: Final Design and Contract Documents. The key component of the entire project are the contract documents including the construction plans, details, and technical specifications for the improvements. Consultant’s design team will prepare a complete set of construction documents that will include the following plans and details:
8. Demolition Plans
Precise Grading & Drainage Plans and Details
Erosion Control Plans and Details
Construction Plans and Details
Irrigation Plans and Details
Planting Plans and Details
Architectural Plans and Details
Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing Plans
Structural Plans
Lighting and Electrical Plans
Plans will be prepared at the requested 60%, 90%, and 100% progress intervals, and will be accompanied by technical specifications and an itemized opinion of probable cost.

Phase D — Engagement & Outreach.
9. Task 10.1: Targeted Internal Engagement.
Consultant will work with the various City departments in a collaborative information sharing workshop to review the development progress in two interdepartmental workshops. These workshops can occur early on in the design development phase and again during the construction document development phase. This close collaboration will allow for discussion of future maintenance scheduling, programming coordination, and constructability of specific plan elements.
10. Task 10.2: Community Outreach Plan
Consultant will employ community outreach in the Conceptual Design phase in order to solicit feedback from the ultimate users of the facility and ascertain the desired amenities and park elements of the neighborhood.
Consultant’s first workshop will provide participants the opportunity to “design” their park using paper cutouts of various park amenities to help the group understand the relationship between various park features as well as the space each of the facilities requires to operate safely. After this initial workshop, Consultant will catalog all of the designs and comments from the community in order to develop a preliminary conceptual design. If two of these preliminary conceptual designs are provided, the second workshop may consist of the community members evaluating and “voting” for their preferred design.
Alternatively, if the City prefers, Consultant will work with City staff to host a workshop where the community can participate in a design review of the project. Community members can learn about the history of the project, proposed improvements, as well as share their feedback. At the end of the workshop, Consultant will summarize the community information for City.

Figueroa Street, for a not to exceed contract sum of $904,455. The term of the Agreement was set to expire July 19, 2024.
B.

D. Section 2611(m)(3) of the Carson Municipal Code (“CMC”) provides that any proposed amendment to a contract exceeding $75,000 requires solicitation unless the amendment concerns a change order under Section 2601(d) of the CMC in which event bidding will not be required irrespective of the amount of the change order.

CITY OF CARSON 701 East Carson Street
Report to Honorable Mayor and City Council
Wednesday, November 5, 2025, 5:00 PM
CONSENT 26.
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Dr. Arlington Rodgers, Director of Public Works PW Engineering Subject: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF FINAL PARCEL MAP NO. 84441: A SUBDIVISION OF ONE PARCEL INTO TWO PARCELS LOCATED AT 101 & 117 EAST CARSON STREET (CITY COUNCIL) I. SUMMARY
On March 15, 2025, City staff inadvertently presented an incomplete version of Final Parcel Map No. 84441 (see Exhibit 1) to the City Council for approval. The map pertains to the properties located at 101 and 117 East Carson Street. Following the Council’s action, the County of Los Angeles identified the error during the recordation process and subsequently rejected the map, noting that additional corrections and adjustments were needed by the applicant. As a result, the map was not recorded. Since that time, the applicant has corrected the deficiencies and resubmitted a revised map to the County of Los Angeles Department of Public Works for review. On September 3, 2025, the County issued a letter recommending approval of the corrected Final Parcel Map (see Exhibit 2).
City staff now requests that the City Council approve the corrected Final Parcel Map No. 84441 (see Exhibit 3), which proposes a lot split for commercial use. The property, currently recorded as a 35,004-square-foot lot occupied by Yoshinoya (101 East Carson Street) and Frosty Freeze (117 East Carson Street), would be divided into two separate parcels:
Parcel One: 101 East Carson Street – approximately 20,505 square feet Parcel Two: 117 East Carson Street – approximately 14,499 square feet Approval of this action will allow both existing commercial businesses to operate independently on their respective lots while maintaining compliance with local land use and subdivision regulations.
II. RECOMMENDATION
TAKE the following actions:
1. RESCIND approval of Council Action on March 18, 2025, Item No. 25 for Final Parcel Map No. 84441;
2. APPROVE Final Parcel Map No. 84441 for a lot split for commercial purposes located at 101 & 117 East Carson Street;
3. MAKE the findings listed in the body of this report; and,
4. INSTRUCT the City Clerk to endorse the certificate that embodies the approval of said Parcel Map on the face of Parcel Map No. 84441.
III. ALTERNATIVES
DO NOT APPROVE Final Parcel Map No. 84441. However, the Subdivision Map Act requires that the City Council approve the Final Parcel Map once all conditions have been met.
IV. BACKGROUND
On September 24, 2024, the Planning Commission approved Tentative Parcel Map No. 84441, which proposed to subdivide the lot located at 101 and 117 East Carson Street into two separate parcels (see Exhibit 4). The existing 35,004-square-foot lot will be divided into: Parcel One, located at 101 East Carson Street and comprising 20,505 square feet; and Parcel Two, located at 117 East Carson Street and comprising 14,499 square feet. For reference only, a private property owner may choose to subdivide a property with multiple tenants for several practical reasons. Often, it allows each business or tenant to own or lease a distinct parcel, which can simplify property management, clarify maintenance responsibilities, and provide flexibility for future financing, redevelopment, or sale of one parcel without affecting the other. This type of lot split can also help align property boundaries with existing uses and structures.
The subject property is located within the Downtown Mixed Use (DMX) Zone, with a General Plan Land Use Designation of Downtown Mixed Use. The site is situated along Carson Street in the southwest portion of the City.
Site Information Summary:
General Plan Land Use: Downtown Mixed Use
Zoning District: DMX (Downtown Mixed Use)
Site Size: 0.67 acre
Current Use: Commercial (Yoshinoya and Frosty Freeze)
Surrounding Uses:
North: DMX
South: DMX
East: DMX
West: DMX
The proposed project is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15315 (Minor Land Division). This exemption applies to divisions of property in urbanized areas into four or fewer parcels when the proposed division conforms to the General Plan and zoning standards, requires no variances or exceptions, provides adequate access and services, has not been part of a recent subdivision within two years, and does not involve significant slopes. The proposed project meets all these criteria, and no exceptions to the categorical exemption apply under CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2.
The Los Angeles County Department of Public Works reviewed the parcel map and, on October 24, 2024, issued a letter that City staff mistakenly interpreted as indicating the map was ready for approval. As a result, on March 15, 2025, City staff presented Final Map No. 84441 to the City Council for approval. However, due to an internal oversight, an incomplete version of the map was brought forward prematurely. Following Council approval, the map was submitted to the County for recordation, at which point the County determined that the map did not meet the necessary technical requirements and rejected it.
Upon notification, the applicant revised and corrected the map to address all deficiencies. The updated version was resubmitted to the County, and on September 3, 2025, the County Department of Public Works issued a letter recommending approval of the Final Parcel Map, confirming compliance with CEQA and the Subdivision Map Act.
The County’s findings verified that the map is in substantial compliance with the previously approved tentative map and that all conditions of approval have been satisfied. Based on these findings, City staff concurs with the County’s recommendation and is returning to the City Council to request approval of the corrected Final Parcel Map No. 84441, which will supersede the previously approved incomplete version and ensure proper recordation.
V. FISCAL IMPACT
There are no direct costs to the City associated with processing a Lot Line Adjustment. All application and processing fees are paid by the applicant (property owner or their representative) at the time of submittal. The applicant is also responsible for providing all required documentation, such as notarized property owner forms, title reports, zoning and use information, and legal descriptions; and, for preparing and recording the new legal documents and deeds once the adjustment is approved.

CONSENT 27.
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Dr. Arlington Rodgers, Director of Public Works PW Engineering Subject: CONSIDER AWARD OF CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT TO BEADOR CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, INC. FOR PROJECT 675: SEPULVEDA BLVD - WIDENING PROJECT FROM ALAMEDA
BOULEVARD TO INTERMODAL WAY (CITY COUNCIL)
I. SUMMARY
The Invitation for Bids (IFB) No. 25-06 for Project No. 675 - Sepulveda Bridge Widening from Alameda Boulevard to Intermodal Way was publicly advertised in the Daily Journal and posted on the PlanetBids portal from March 6, 2025, through April 9, 2025. Four construction firms submitted bids, which were opened by the Purchasing Division Manager in the City Clerk’s Office and read aloud on April 9, 2025. After review, the bid submitted by Beador Construction Company, Inc. was determined to be the lowest responsive and responsible bid, with a total bid amount of $21,975,300.
Consequently, staff recommends that the City Council award a construction contract to Beador Construction Company, Inc. in the amount of $21,975,300 and authorize a 10% construction contingency (approximately $2,197,530) to cover any unforeseen conditions or necessary adjustments during construction. The entire project, including the base contract and contingency, totaling $24,172,830, will be fully funded by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) Measure M Grant.
II. RECOMMENDATION
TAKE the following actions:
1. AWARD a Construction Contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, Beador Construction Company Inc., for Project No. 675 - Sepulveda Bridge Widening from Alameda Boulevard to Intermodal Way, in the amount not to exceed $21,975,300;
2. AUTHORIZE the Mayor to execute the contract, following approval as to form by the City Attorney; and,
3. AUTHORIZE a 10% construction contingency (approximately $2,197,530) to address any unforeseen construction conditions that way arise, funded entirely through the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) Measure M Grant.
III. ALTERNATIVES
1. REJECT all bids.
2. DO NOT APPROVE the above recommendations. However staff will not be able to proceed with construction of the project.
3. TAKE another action the City Council deems appropriate, consistent with the requirements of the law.
IV. BACKGROUND
The Sepulveda Boulevard Widening Project will expand the existing roadway and bridge from a four-lane street (two lanes in each direction) to a six-lane street (three lanes in each direction) between Alameda Boulevard and Intermodal Way. The project also includes the installation of new sidewalks on both sides of the street, enhanced street lighting, and landscaping improvements. In addition, traffic signals at Sepulveda Boulevard’s intersections with Alameda Boulevard and Intermodal Way will be upgraded, along with driveway improvements and ADAcompliant ramps and sidewalks. These improvements are designed to improve traffic flow and safety along this heavily traveled corridor, which serves as a key route for truck traffic accessing Highway 103 and Terminal Island.
As part of the bridge reconstruction and widening work, several utility lines serving nearby refineries will be realigned and upgraded to fit the new bridge and roadway layout. The project also includes environmental mitigation efforts within the Dominguez Channel, where restoration and habitat enhancement measures will be implemented.
The Invitation for Bids (IFB No. 25-06) was advertised on the PlanetBids portal and in the Daily Journal from March 6, 2025, through April 9, 2025. The bid opening took place on April 9, 2025, in the City Clerk’s Office, where bids were publicly opened and read aloud by the Purchasing Division Manager. A total of four (4) bids were received, with Beador Construction Company, Inc. identified as the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, submitting a total bid of $21,975,300.
The bid results are summarized below:
No. Bidder Place of Business Bid Amount
1. Beador Construction
Company Inc Costa Mesa $21,975,300
2. Reyes Construction Pomona $23,818,096
3. Ortiz Enterprises Irvine $29,711,772
4. Steve P. Rados, Inc. Santa Ana $39,750,090
Beador Construction Company, Inc. is a licensed and qualified contractor in good standing with the State of California. A bid bond equal to 10% of the total bid amount was submitted with the proposal, as required, and has been reviewed and found to be in order. City staff also verified Beador’s contracting experience and references, confirming that the company has successfully completed similar large-scale public works projects to the satisfaction of other agencies.
The anticipated project timeline is as follows:
Advertise for Construction Bid Complete
Bid Opening Complete
Award of Construction Contract November 5, 2025
Contract Execution November 26, 2025
PO Issuance December 15, 2025
Start Construction January 5, 2026
Complete Construction December 31, 2027
The proposed improvement project has received all necessary permits from the required regulatory agencies, including the Regional Water Quality Control Board, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, California Department of Fish and Wildlife, and the Los Angeles County Flood Control District. These approvals authorize the project to proceed with construction activities. In addition, the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) has confirmed the availability of Measure M grant funding to fully support the project. With environmental permits and funding secured, the project is now ready to move into the construction phase.
Consequently, staff recommends that the City Council award the construction contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, Beador Construction Company, Inc., in the amount of $21,975,300, and authorize a 10% construction contingency (approximately $2,197,530) to address any unforeseen construction conditions. The total expenditure authority of $24,172,830 will be funded entirely through the Metro Measure M Grant.
V. FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed construction contract with Beador Construction Company, Inc. is for a not-to-exceed amount of $21,975,300. In addition, staff recommends approval of a 10% construction contingency, equal to $2,197,530, to cover any unforeseen design or construction-related conditions that may arise during the project. If approved, the total project expenditure authority will be $24,172,830. At its September 2025 meeting, the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) approved and allocated Measure M grant funding in the amount of $24,370,039 to the City of Carson for Project No. 675 - Sepulveda Boulevard Widening.

THIS PUBLIC WORKS AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made and entered into this ____ day of ________, 2025, by and between the City of Carson, a California charter city (“City”) and Beador Construction Company, Inc., a California company (“Contractor”).

D. The Parties desire to formalize the selection of Contractor for performance of the services and desire that the terms of that performance be as particularly defined and described herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants made by the Parties and contained herein and other consideration, the value and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
ARTICLE 1. CONTRACTOR SERVICES
1.1 Scope of Work.
The Contractor shall perform all of the work, furnish all labor, materials, equipment, tools, utility services, and transportation, and comply with all of the specifications and requirements in the Bid Documents for the project entitled Project No. 675 – Sepulveda Boulevard from East of Alameda to East City Limit (“Project”). All such work shall be performed in a good and workmanlike manner, as reasonably determined by the City, and shall be performed in compliance with all local, state, and federal laws and regulations. As used herein, “Bid Documents” refers to all of the documents included in the solicitation of bids for the Project, including but not limited to, the Invitation for Bids, Instructions to Bidders, Bid or Bid Proposal, Contract Documents, Special Provisions, Technical Provisions, Construction Plans, Standard Plans, Drawings, Reference Specifications, all applicable permit requirements, any addenda, any applicable Project Labor Agreement, and any other documents included, referenced, or incorporated therein. The Bid Documents are incorporated into this Agreement and made part hereof. In the event of any -2- 01007.0006 2055013.3
conflict between the terms of the Bid Documents and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall govern.
1.2 Incorporation of Greenbook.
The provisions of the 2021 Edition of the Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction, as updated by errata, (“Greenbook”) are incorporated herein, except as explicitly modified by the Bid Documents. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of the Greenbook and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall govern.
1.3 Compliance with Labor and Wage Laws.
(a) Public Work. The Parties acknowledge that the work to be performed under this Agreement is a “public work” as defined in Labor Code Section 1720 and that this Agreement is therefore subject to the requirements of Division 2, Part 7, Chapter 1 (commencing with Section 1720) of the California Labor Code relating to public works contracts and the rules and regulations established by the Department of Industrial Relations (“DIR”) implementing such statutes. The work performed under this Agreement is subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the DIR. Contractor shall post job site notices, as prescribed by regulation. (b) Registration with DIR. Pursuant to Labor Code section 1771.1, Contractor and all subcontractors must be registered with, and pay an annual fee to, the DIR prior to and during the performance of any work under this Agreement. (c) Prevailing Wages. Contractor shall pay prevailing wages to the extent required by Labor Code Section 1771. Pursuant to Labor Code Section 1773.2, copies of the prevailing rate of per diem wages are on file at City Hall and will be made available to any interested party on request. By initiating any work under this Agreement, Contractor acknowledges receipt of a copy of the DIR determination of the prevailing rate of per diem wages, and Contractor shall post a copy of the same at each job site where work is performed under this Agreement. If this Agreement is subject to the payment of federal prevailing wages under the Davis-Bacon Act (40 U.S.C. § 3141 et seq.), then Contractor shall pay the higher of either the state for federal prevailing wage applicable to each laborer.
(d) Penalty for Failure to Pay Prevailing Wages. Contractor shall comply with and be bound by the provisions of Labor Code Sections 1774 and 1775 concerning the payment of prevailing rates of wages to workers and the penalties for failure to pay prevailing wages. The Contractor shall, as a penalty to the City, forfeit two hundred dollars ($200) for each calendar day, or portion thereof, for each worker paid less than the prevailing rates as determined by the DIR for the work or craft in which the worker is employed for any public work done pursuant to this Agreement by Contractor or by any subcontractor.
(e) Payroll Records. Contractor shall comply with and be bound by the provisions of Labor Code Section 1776, which requires Contractor and each subcontractor to: keep accurate payroll records and verify such records in writing under penalty of perjury, as specified in Section 1776; certify and make such payroll records available for inspection as provided by Section 1776; and inform the City of the location of the records. -3- 01007.0006 2055013.3
(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. Contractor shall be responsible for compliance with these aforementioned Sections for all apprenticeable occupations. Prior to commencing work under this Agreement, Contractor shall provide City with a copy of the information submitted to any applicable apprenticeship program. Within sixty (60) days after concluding work pursuant to this Agreement, Contractor and each of its subcontractors shall submit to the City a verified statement of the journeyman and apprentice hours performed under this Agreement.
(g) Eight-Hour Work Day. Contractor acknowledges that eight (8) hours labor constitutes a legal day’s work. Contractor shall comply with and be bound by Labor Code Section 1810.
(h) Penalties for Excess Hours. Contractor shall comply with and be bound by the provisions of Labor Code Section 1813 concerning penalties for workers who work excess hours. The Contractor shall, as a penalty to the City, forfeit twenty-five dollars ($25) for each worker employed in the performance of this Agreement by the Contractor or by any subcontractor for each calendar day during which such worker is required or permitted to work more than eight (8) hours in any one calendar day and forty (40) hours in any one calendar week in violation of the provisions of Division 2, Part 7, Chapter 1, Article 3 of the Labor Code. Pursuant to Labor Code section 1815, work performed by employees of Contractor in excess of eight (8) hours per day, and forty (40) hours during any one week shall be permitted upon public work upon compensation for all hours worked in excess of 8 hours per day at not less than one and one-half (1½) times the basic rate of pay.
(i) Workers’ Compensation. California Labor Code Sections 1860 and 3700 provide that every employer will be required to secure the payment of compensation to its employees if it has employees. In accordance with the provisions of California Labor Code Section 1861, Contractor certifies as follows:
“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.”
(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.
-4- 01007.0006 2055013.3
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 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.
-5- 01007.0006 2055013.3
(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 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 -6- 01007.0006 2055013.3
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) 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.

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 -7- 01007.0006 2055013.3
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 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) 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 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. -8- 01007.0006 2055013.3

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 -9- 01007.0006 2055013.3
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.
(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 2055013.3
(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 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 five hundred forty (540) working 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 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 2055013.3
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.

4.5 Prohibition Against Subcontracting or Assignment.

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.

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.

(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.

(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.

(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 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.

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 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.
-17- 01007.0006 2055013.3
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.

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.
Insurance and bonds 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’s Rating Guide, The Key Rating Guide or in the Federal Register, and only if they are of a financial category Class VII or better. If the City determines that the work to be performed under this Agreement creates an increased or decreased risk of loss to the City, the Contractor agrees that the minimum limits of the insurance policies and the bonds may be changed accordingly upon receipt of written notice from the City’s Risk Manager.
5.7 Release of Securities.
-18- 01007.0006 2055013.3
City shall release the performance bond and payment bond when the following have occurred:
(a) Contractor has made a written request for release and provided evidence of satisfaction of all other requirements under Article 5 of this Agreement; (b) the Project has been accepted; and
(c) after passage of the time within which lien claims are required to be made pursuant to applicable laws; if lien claims have been timely filed, City shall hold the payment bond until such claims have been resolved, Contractor has provided statutory bond, or otherwise as required by applicable law.
ARTICLE 6. RECORDS, REPORTS, AND RELEASE OF INFORMATION
6.1 Records.
Contractor shall keep, and require subcontractors to keep, such ledgers, books of accounts, invoices, vouchers, canceled checks, reports, studies, certified and accurate copies of payroll records in compliance with all applicable laws, or other documents relating to the disbursements charged to City and services performed hereunder (the “books and records”), as shall be necessary to perform the services required by this Agreement and enable the Project Manager to evaluate the performance of such services.

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 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.
-21- 01007.0006 2055013.3
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. (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. -22- 01007.0006 2055013.3
(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. (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. -23- 01007.0006 2055013.3
(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 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.
-24- 01007.0006 2055013.3
(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.
7.7 Unfair Business Practices Claims.
Pursuant to Public Contract Code section 7103.5, in entering into this Agreement, Contractor offers and agrees to assign to the City all rights, title, and interest in and to all causes of action it may have under Section 4 of the Clayton Act (15 U.S.C. § 15) or under the Cartwright Act (Chapter 2, (commencing with Section 16700) of Part 2 of Division 7 of the Business and Professions Code), arising from purchases of goods, services or materials related to this Agreement. This assignment shall be made and become effective at the time the City tenders final payment to the Contractor without further acknowledgment by the Parties. -25- 01007.0006 2055013.3

8.1 Non-liability of City Officers and Employees.

PERFORMANCE BOND
We, Beador Construction Company, Inc., a California corporation, as Principal, and ____________, as Surety, jointly and severally, firmly bind ourselves, our heirs, representatives, successors and assigns, as set forth herein, to the City of Carson (“City”) for payment of the penal sum of Twenty-One Million Nine Hundred Seventy-Five Thousand Three Hundred Dollars and Zero Cents ($21,975,300.00). City and Principal have entered into an agreement, or are about to enter into the agreement attached hereto and incorporated by reference herein, for completion of public works for the property(ies) referenced in said agreement. Surety herein approves of the terms and conditions of said agreement and binds itself to faithfully perform the obligations of Principal therein if Principal fails to so perform. Surety acknowledges that the agreement herein referenced shall be that document as executed by City and Principal.
THE CONDITION OF THIS OBLIGATION IS SUCH that if the Principal shall in all things stand to and abide by, and well and truly keep and perform all of the covenants, conditions, and provisions in said agreement, and any alteration thereof made as therein provided, on Principal's part to be kept and performed at the time and in the manner therein specified, and shall indemnify and save harmless the City, City’s engineer, and their consultants, and each of their officials, directors, officers, employees and agents, as therein stipulated, then this obligation shall become null and void; otherwise, it shall be and remain in full force and effect.
Surety agrees that should it fail to take over and diligently perform the agreement upon Principal's default after notice and within the time specified in the agreement, Surety will promptly on demand deposit with City such amount as City may reasonably estimate as the cost of completing all of Principal's obligations. Surety's obligation for payment herein shall exist, notwithstanding any controversy between Principal and City regarding Principal's failure under the agreement, and payment by Surety should be conclusively presumed between the parties herein to relieve, as demanded, Surety's obligations herein and shall be deemed proper payment as between Principal and Surety.
Surety agrees that no change, extension of time, alteration, or addition to the terms of the agreement, or the work to be performed thereunder or the plans and specifications, or any matters unknown to Surety which may affect Surety's risk shall in any wise affect its obligation on this bond, and it does thereby waive notice thereof.
Principal and Surety agree that if the City is required to engage the services of an attorney in connection with the enforcement of this bond, each shall pay City's reasonable attorneys' fees incurred, with or without suit, in addition to the above sum. 01007.0006 2055013.3

Funds are programmed through Fiscal Year (FY) 2028-29. The Board’s approval is required to program additional funds and acknowledge the updated project lists (Attachments A, B, C, and D), which will serve as the basis for Metro to enter into funding agreements and/or amendments with the respective implementing agencies.
BACKGROUND
Based on the amount provided in the Measure M Expenditure Plan, a total of $549.01 million in Measure M MSP was forecasted to be available for programming for the South Bay Subregion from FY 2017-18 to FY 2028-29. In prior actions, the Board approved programming of $318.39 million in support of 81 projects. Therefore, $230.62 million of Measure M MSP funds is available to the Subregion for programming as part of this update. To date, $58.78 million has been expended (18%). Two projects are closed, and three others have been completed and are initiating or in the close-out audit process.
In July 2021, the Metro Board of Directors approved the Measure R Ordinance Amendment that authorized the transfer of up to $400 million from the Measure R Highway Capital Subfund to eligible Transit Capital projects. In prior actions, the Board approved programming of $367.39 million in support of ten projects. Therefore, $32.61 million of Measure R South Bay Transit Investment Program funds is available to the Subregion for programming as part of this update. To date, $95.11 has been expended (26%). All projects are in the implementation phase.
In line with the Metro Board adopted guidelines and June 2022 Objectives for Multimodal Highway Investments agencies requesting funds must provide documentation demonstrating community support, project need, and multimodal transportation benefits that enhance safety, support traffic mobility, economic vitality, and enable a safer and well-maintained transportation system. Cities and Councils of Governments lead and prioritize all proposed transportation improvements, including procurement, the environmental process, outreach, final design, and construction.
DISCUSSION
Metro staff works closely with the South Bay Cities Council of Governments (SBCCOG) and the implementing agencies on project eligibility reviews, preparing for the annual update, including changes to the project scope of work/schedule and/or funding requests, as applicable. The jurisdictional requests are proposed by the cities and approved/forwarded by the subregion.
During staff review, Metro required a detailed project scope of work to confirm project eligibility and establish the program nexus, including but not limited to project location and limits, length, elements, phase(s), total estimated expenses, funding requested, and schedules. Final approval of funds for the projects shall be contingent upon the implementing agency demonstrating the eligibility of each project, as required in the Measure M Master Guidelines and/or the Measure R Transit Investments Program Guidelines. Staff expect the collection of the project details in advance of Metro Board action to enable the timely execution of project Funding Agreements for approved projects. All Measure M MSP and Measure R funds must be expended within three years from the fiscal year in which the funds are programmed, according to the Guidelines Timely Use of Funds Lapsing Policy.
Staff will continue working with the implementing agencies and encouraging the timely completion of Metro Printed on 9/26/2025 Page 2 of 13

Program an additional $4,469,200 for MM4602.10 - Rolling Hills Road Bike Lanes. The funds are programmed as follows: $229,450 in prior years, $1,276,914 in FY 26, and $3,192,286 in FY 27. This existing project includes proposed bike lanes and multimodal shared use trails that would connect the existing bike lanes and multimodal shared use trails on Palos Verdes Drive North to the future bike route on Rolling Hills Road. This project will likely decrease VMT. The funds will be used to complete the project’s PAED, PS&E and construction phases.
Measure R Transit Investments Program
This update includes funding adjustments to three existing projects as follows:

Carson
Program an additional $7,952,000 and reprogram previously awarded funds for MR524.02 - Carson Circuit: Fashion Outlet Regional Transit Center. The funds are programmed as follows: $56,339 in FY 23, $46,744 in FY 25, $718,917 in FY 26, $4,266,500 in FY 27, and $6,388,500 in FY 28 for a revised total grant of $11,477,000. The existing project includes improvements such as a central covered island waiting area, eight bus bays, bus pad, realtime passenger information display, sidewalk, curb and gutter, and access ramp. This project will likely decrease VMT. The funds will be used to complete the project’s PAED, PS&E, ROW and construction phases.
Gardena
Reprogram previously approved $12,375,000 as follows: $700,000 in FY 27, $6,500,000 in FY 28, and $5,175,000 in FY 29 for MR524.03 - GTrans: Purchase of Up to 15 Expansion Buses.
The project enables the agency to purchase up to 15 expansion buses for use in the deployment of additional services within the GTrans service area, over 10 years. This project will likely decrease VMT. The funds will be used to complete the project’s construction capital phase.
Program additional $1,500,000 and reprogram previously awarded funds for MR524.04 - GTrans: Solar Energy Generation/Bus Fueling Infrastructure Project. The funds are programmed as follows: $811 in FY 23, $2,999,189 in FY 26, $3,000,000 in FY 27, and $1,500,000 in FY 28 for a revised total grant of $7,500,000. The existing project includes installation of a new, stand-alone charging infrastructure/equipment in the GTrans bus yard.
The chargers will accommodate the existing fleet of electric buses, with conduit and underground facilities being laid in advance of future electric bus purchases of up to 14 electric buses. Additionally, the funds will support construction, expansion and integration of GTrans’ existing solar generation system. This project will likely decrease VMT. The funds will be used to complete the project’s PS&E and construction phases.
DETERMINATION OF SAFETY IMPACT
Programming of Measure M MSP and Measure R Transit Investments funds to the South Bay Subregion projects will not have any adverse safety impacts on Metro’s employees or patrons. The recommended projects support the development of a transportation system that will balance multimodal mobility options and improvements that enable people to spend less time traveling.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
In FY 26, $62 million is budgeted in Cost Center 0441 (subsidies budget - Planning) for South Bay Transit Investment Program (Project #465524), $1 million is budgeted in Cost Center 0442 (Highway Subsidies) for the Transportation System Mobility Improvement Program (Project #475502), $5.3 million is budgeted in Cost Center 0442 (Highway Subsidies) for the South Bay Highway Operational Improvements Program (Project #475507), and $11 million is budgeted in Cost Center 0442 Metro Printed on 9/26/2025 Page 10 of 13

File #: 2025-0604, File Type: Program Agenda Number: 7. (Highway Subsidies) for the Transportation System Mobility Improvement Program (Project #475508). Upon approval of this action, staff will reallocate necessary funds to appropriate projects within Cost Centers 0441 and 0442. Since these are multi-year projects, Cost Centers 0441 and 0442 will be responsible for budgeting the cost in future years.
Impact to Budget
The sources of funds for these projects are Measure M Highway Construction 17% and Measure R Transit Capital. These fund sources are not eligible for Metro bus and rail operations expenses.
EQUITY PLATFORM
The South Bay subregion comprises 15 cities and the adjacent unincorporated area of Los Angeles County. Thirty-two percent of census tracts in the subregion are defined as Equity Focus Communities (EFCs). Cities within the subregion where most census tracts are EFCs include Gardena, Hawthorne, Inglewood, City of Los Angeles, and the unincorporated County of Los Angeles. As part of this report, additional funds are allocated to many of the communities with EFCs, including Gardena, City of Los Angeles, and unincorporated Couty of Los Angeles.
Metro staff provide technical assistance to jurisdictions, assisting agencies in determining funding eligibility and developing funding agreements, including project scope of work, cost and schedule.
Each city and/or agency, independently and in coordination with the subregion, undertakes their jurisdictionally determined community engagement process specific to the type of transportation improvement they seek to develop. These locally determined and prioritized projects represent the needs of cities and the subregion.
VEHICLE MILES TRAVELED OUTCOME
VMT and VMT per capita in Los Angeles County are lower than national averages, the lowest in the SCAG region, and on the lower end of VMT per capita statewide, with these declining VMT trends due in part to Metro’s significant investment in rail and bus transit.* Metro’s Board-adopted VMT reduction targets align with California’s statewide climate goals, including achieving carbon neutrality by 2045. To ensure continued progress, all Board items are assessed for their potential impact on VMT.
While the agency remains committed to reducing VMT through transit and multimodal investments, some projects may induce or increase personal vehicle travel. However, these individual projects aim to ensure the efficient and safe movement of people and goods. Each project’s VMT outcome is included in the brief project description earlier in this report. This Board item, which looks at a number of smaller investments across modes, will likely increase VMT in LA County, as it includes several projects that encourage driving alone.
Although this item may not directly contribute to the achievement of the Board-adopted VMT Reduction Targets, the VMT Targets were developed to account for the cumulative effect of a suite of programs and projects within the Metro region, which individually may induce or increase VMT.
Additionally, Metro has a voter-approved mandate to deliver multimodal projects that enhance Metro Printed on 9/26/2025 Page 11 of 13

IMPLEMENTATION OF STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS
The recommendation supports the following goals of the Metro Vision 2028 Strategic Plan:
Goal 1: Provide high-quality mobility options that enable people to spend less time traveling by alleviating the current operational deficiencies and improving mobility along the projects.
Goal 4: Transform LA County through regional collaboration by partnering with the Council of Governments and the local jurisdictions to identify the needed improvements and take the lead in development and implementation of their projects.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
The Board could elect not to approve the additional programming of funds for the Measure M MSP and Measure R Transit Investments Program projects for the South Bay Subregion. This is not recommended as the Subregion developed the proposed projects in accordance with the Measure M Ordinance, Guidelines, and Administrative Procedures, as well as the Measure R Transit Investments Program Guidelines.
NEXT STEPS
Metro staff will continue to work with the Subregion to identify and deliver projects. Funding Agreements will be executed with those who have funds programmed in FY 2025-26.
Program/Project updates will be provided to the Board annually.

CITY OF CARSON 701 East Carson Street
Report to Honorable Mayor and City Council
Wednesday, November 5, 2025, 5:00 PM
CONSENT 28.
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Dr. Arlington Rodgers, Director of Public Works PW Subject: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF THE SUCCESSOR PROJECT LABOR AGREEMENT WITH THE LOS
ANGELES/ORANGE COUNTIES BUILDING AND CONSTRUCTION TRADES COUNCIL AND THE SIGNATORY
CRAFT COUNCILS AND UNIONS (CITY COUNCIL)
I. SUMMARY
The City of Carson, together with the Los Angeles/Orange Counties Building and Construction Trades Council and the Signatory Craft Councils and Unions, entered into a Project Labor Agreement (PLA) on March 4, 2020. This agreement established the policies and procedures governing labor relations between the City and the unionrepresented employees who perform work on the City’s public improvement projects. The original agreement had a five-year term, with the option to extend it for up to three additional one-year periods upon mutual agreement. On May 6, 2025, the City Council approved a one-year extension of the current PLA, extending its term through March 3, 2026.
The City, Council, and Unions now wish to enter into a new, successor Project Labor Agreement that would take effect on March 4, 2026, for another five-year term, with three optional one-year extensions. Under this proposed agreement, the PLA would apply to all construction and rehabilitation projects where the prime multi-trade contract exceeds $250,000, and to all specialty contracts exceeding $50,000, including any subcontracts related to those projects. The Unions have submitted a proposed Successor Project Labor Agreement for City Council consideration (see Exhibit 1).
II. RECOMMENDATION
TAKE the following actions:
1. APPROVE the proposed Successor Project Labor Agreement with the Los Angeles/Orange Counties Building and Construction Trades Council and the Signatory Craft Councils and Unions which covers "all construction and rehabilitation work to prime multi-trade contracts that exceed $250,000.00 and all subcontracts arising from these prime contracts;" and "all Specialty Contracts that exceed $50,000.00 and all subcontracts arising from these Specialty Contracts" for a term of five (5) years with three one-year renewals; and,
2. AUTHORIZE the Mayor to execute the same upon approval as to form by the City Attorney.
III. ALTERNATIVES
1. DENY approval of the proposed Successor Project Labor Agreement with the Los Angeles/Orange Counties Building and Construction Trades Council and the Signatory Craft Councils and Unions; or,
2. TAKE another action the City Council deems appropriate and consistent with the requirements of the law.
IV. BACKGROUND
The City of Carson Charter directs the City to make “all best efforts to negotiate a City-wide Project Labor Agreement (PLA)” with the Los Angeles/Orange County Building and Construction Trades Council. A PLA is a formal agreement between the City and local construction trade unions that outlines how labor will be managed on public construction projects.
Under the Charter, a PLA must follow Public Contract Code Section 2500 et seq. and include several key elements:
it must apply to all City contractors and subcontractors working on covered construction projects; prohibit contractors from competing for or performing work unless they agree to the PLA’s terms; provide guarantees against strikes or work stoppages; include preferences for hiring local workers; and establish quick, binding procedures for resolving labor disputes. It must also promote cooperation between labor and management on productivity, quality, safety, and health, while ensuring compliance with all State, Federal, and local labor and safety laws.
The Unions have submitted a proposed City-wide PLA for the City Council’s consideration. A PLA is typically a prehire agreement, negotiated before contractors hire any employees, and becomes part of the bid specifications for public works projects. If approved, it would require all contractors performing City construction work, or work within City easements, to agree to the PLA’s terms and to ensure that all subcontractors at every level also comply.
The proposed PLA would have a five-year term, with up to three optional one-year extensions upon mutual agreement. If a project is awarded during the term of the Agreement, that project would remain covered until its completion, even if the overall agreement later expires.
Staff requests that the City Council consider approval of the proposed PLA, which would apply to all construction and rehabilitation projects with prime multi-trade contracts over $250,000 and specialty contracts over $50,000, including all related subcontracts.
V. FISCAL IMPACT
Staff anticipates that adopting the proposed Project Labor Agreement (PLA) may continue to increase overall construction costs for City projects, with estimates ranging from approximately 10 to 30 percent higher than nonPLA projects' costs. If compliance tasks become too onerous in the future, staff may recommend contracting an outside consultant to help manage and ensure compliance with the terms of the Agreement.
