described in SECTION Ill 4 LIMITS OF
INSURANCE.

5. A "self-insured retention" does not apply to
"crisis management service expenses".

6. Any payment of "crisis management service
expenses" that we make will not be
determinative of our obligations under this
insurance with respect to any claim or "suit" or
create any duty to defend or indemnify any
insured for any claim or "suit".

D. DEFENSE AND SUPPLEMENTARY PAYMENTS

1. We will have the right and duty to defend the
insured:
a. Under Coverage A, against a "suit"
seeking damages to which such coverage
applies, if:
(1) The "applicable underlying limit" is the
applicable limit of insurance stated for
a policy of "underlying insurance= in
the Schedule Of Underlying
Insurance and such limit has been
exhausted solely due to payments as
permitted in Paragraphs 4.a.(1), (2)
and (3) of COVERAGE A 4- EXCESS
FOLLOW-FORM LIABILITY of
SECTION | 4 COVERAGES; or
(2) The <applicable underlying limit" is the
applicable limit of any "other
insurance" and such limit has been
exhausted by payments of judgments,
settlements or medical expenses, or
related costs or expenses (if such
costs or expenses reduce such
limits).

For any "suit" for which we have the right
and duty to defend the insured under
Coverage A, defense expenses will be
within the limits of insurance of this policy
when such expenses are within the limits
of insurance of the applicable "underlying
insurance"; or
b. Under Coverage B, against a "suit"
seeking damages to which such coverage
applies.

2. We have no duty to defend any insured
against any "suit":
a. Seeking damages to which this insurance
does not apply; or
b. If any other insurer has a duty to defend.

UMBRELLA

3. When we have the duty to defend, we may, at
our discretion, investigate and settle any claim
or "suit". In all other cases, we may, at our
discretion, participate in the investigation,
defense and settlement of any claim or "suit" for
damages to which this insurance may apply. If
we exercise such right to participate, all
expenses we incur in doing so will not reduce
the applicable limits of insurance.

Our duty to defend ends when we have used up
the applicable limit of insurance in the payment
of judgments or settlements, or defense
expenses if such expenses are within the limits
of insurance of this policy.

We will pay, with respect to a claim we
investigate or settle, or "suit" against an insured
we defend:
a. All expenses we incur.
b. The cost of:
(1) Bail bonds required because of
accidents or traffic law violations arising
out of the use of any vehicle to which
this insurance applies; or
(2) Appeal bonds and bonds to release
attachments;
but only for bond amounts within the
applicable limit of insurance. We do not
have to furnish these bonds.
c. All reasonable expenses incurred by the
insured at our request to assist us in the
investigation or defense of such claim or
"suit", including actual loss of earnings up
to $1,000 a day because of time off from
work,
d. All court costs taxed against the insured in
the "suit". However, these payments do not
include attorneys' fees or attorneys9
expenses taxed against the insured.
e. Prejudgment interest awarded against the
insured on that part of the judgment we
pay. If we make an offer to pay the
applicable limit of insurance, we will not pay
any prejudgment interest based on that
period of time after the offer.
f. All interest that accrues on the full amount
of any judgment after entry of the judgment
and before we have paid, offered to pay or
deposited in court the part of the judgment
that is within the applicable limit of
insurance. If we do not pay part of the
judgment for any reason other than it is
more than the applicable limit of insurance,
we will not pay any interest that accrues on
that portion of the judgment.

With respect to a claim we investigate or
settle, or "suit" against an insured we defend
under COVERAGE A 4 EXCESS FOLLOW-
FORM LIABILITY, these payments will not
reduce the applicable limits of insurance, but
only if the applicable "underlying insurance"
provides for such payments in addition to its
limits of insurance. With respect to a claim we
investigate or settle, or "suit" against an
insured we defend under COVERAGE B 4-
UMBRELLA LIABILITY, these payments will
not reduce the applicable limits of insurance.

Z&K will also assist with the preparation of illustrative renderings and an exterior vision concept for the alternative use, consistent with the level of detail shown for the existing hotel option.

The total lump sum fee for this effort is $48,500, which includes Alternative Land Use Analysis & Coordination and Illustrative Renderings & Vision Concept.

Dear Amer and Brittany,
Thank you for asking Gruen Associates to provide this proposal to provide additional planning services for the City of Carson Civic Center Specific Plan, currently nearing completion.

It is our understanding that the City would like the Specific Plan to include an alternative use for the parcel at the East end of the planning area currently designated as a hotel site.

The alternative would be an entertainment/retail/restaurant complex of up to 300,000 square feet with associated parking.

The bulk of the scope of work to incorporate this alternate use in the Specific Plan involves further analysis and preparation of findings by the traffic, civil engineering and environmental consultants as such a use could have significant impacts that vary from those of the hotel. Modifications and additions to the development standards will also be needed.

The deliverables will be provided in approximately 6 weeks following our notice to proceed.

Gruen Associates will provide the above scope of work for a lump sum professional service fee of $37,500. The fee will be invoiced monthly within 30 days. The Lump Sum fee is not inclusive of reimbursable expenses such as document reproduction, millage, delivery services and other expenses incurred for the benefit of the project. Reimbursable expenses will be invoiced at their cost to Gruen Associates.

We understand that the city desires to have the alternative development program depicted in the Specific Plan report in renderings and illustrative site plan similar to how the Hotel option is now included. This would require preparing a vision design for the exterior character of the entertainment/retail option and then producing renderings to be included in the Specific Plan report similar to those currently in that report which show the hotel option.

Internal configurations of that option would not be developed. The additional fees for this scope would be $11,000 for a total lump sum fee of $48,500.

Again, thank you for asking Gruen Associates for continued services for this very exciting assignment. We look forward to further collaborating with Z&K consultants and the City of Cason. To indicate your authorization to proceed please sign a copy of this proposal and return it to our offices. Please contact me with any questions or concerns. My cell phone is 310 279 2448.

Respectfully submitted.

Report to Honorable Mayor and City Council

CONSENT 25. To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Joshua Boudreaux, Director of Human Resources HR Administration Subject: CONSIDER ADOPTING RESOLUTION NO. 25-146, AMENDING THE CLASSIFICATION PLANAND RESOLUTION NO. 77-111 TO ADJUST THE SALARY RANGE FOR THE CODE ENFORCEMENTSUPERVISOR CLASSIFICATION (CITY COUNCIL) I. SUMMARY
Staff recomends complying with the required salary adjustment to the Code Enforcement Supervisor classification resulting from the City Council's approval on November 5, 2025, to align the salary range of Code Enforcement Officer with the Code Enforcement & Collections Officer classification for internal equity. This change triggers the supervisory pay differential requirement under the CPSA-SEIU MOU - Article III, Section 1.4, which states: "All classifications within this unit who have supervisory duties in the job specifications shall be assigned a salary range that is at least fifteen percent (15%) higher at Stept F than Step F of the salry range of their highest paid subordinate."
II. RECOMMENDATION
CONSIDER ADOPTING RESOLUTION NO. 25-146, AMENDING THE CLASSIFICATION PLAN AND RESOLUTION NO. 77-111 TO ADJUST THE SALARY RANGE FOR THE CODE ENFORCEMENT SUPERVISOR

CLASSIFICATION (CITY COUNCIL)
III. ALTERNATIVES
TAKE another action that City Council deems appropriate.

IV. BACKGROUND
With the Council approved salary range parity adjustment, the Code Enforcement Officer classification now has a Step F hourly rate of $56.77. The current Code Enforcement Supervisor Step F is $60.33, which reflects only a 6% differential, below the required 15%. Therefore, the Code Enforcement Supervisor salary range must be increased to restore compliance.

To meet the 15% supervisory differential, Step F for Code Enforcement Supervisor must be adjusted to approximately $56.77 x 1.15 = $65.29 (Step F). The recommended adjusted range is:

Step         Current Rate   New Rate
A $47.27 $51.15
B $49.63 $53.72
C $52.11 $56.41
D $54.72 $59.21
E $57.46 $62.18
F $60.33 $65.29
Both current incumbents are at Step F.

V. FISCAL IMPACT
The total fiscal impactst to the general fund is $18,887.68, which has already been budgeted for and incorporated in the Fiscal Year 2025-2026 adopted budget.

Report to Honorable Mayor and City Council

CONSENT 26. To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Michael Whittiker, Community Services Director CS Community Services Subject: CONSIDER ACCEPTING A $28,500 GRANT FROM THE SOUTH BAY CENTER FORCOUNSELING (SBCC), ADOPTING RESOLUTION NO. 25-136 AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 2025-26BUDGET ACCORDINGLY, AND APPROVING AMENDMENT NO. 4 TO THE 2022 SUBCONTRACT WITH SBCCTO EXTEND THE PREVENTION AND AFTERCARE PROGRAM FOR THE SECOND HALF OF FY 2025-26 (CITYCOUNCIL) I. SUMMARY
Since 2015, the City of Carson has received grant funding from the South Bay Center for Counseling (SBCC) to support the Prevention and Aftercare Program, a community-based effort designed to strengthen family resilience and promote healthy behaviors.  These grants help the City provide services such as parent education, youth development activities, early intervention support, and other wellness programs for families.  At the June 17, 2025, City Council meeting, the Council accepted a $28,500 grant from SBCC to support program activities from July 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025.  Although the grant was accepted, the accompanying budget resolution, which is normally required to formally assign grant funds to the appropriate City accounts, was not included at that time.

SBCC has recently notified the City that it will award an additional $28,500 to continue program services for the period January 1, 2026, through June 30, 2026.  To properly record the earlier award and accept the new funding, staff is requesting that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 25-136, which will formally allocate both grant amounts to the correct accounts in the City budget.  In addition, the City Council is asked to approve the proposed Amendment No. 4 to the 2022 Subcontract between the City and SBCC.  This amendment will allow the City to continue offering Prevention and Aftercare services without interruption during the new grant period.

II. RECOMMENDATION
TAKE the following actions:

1. ACCEPT a $28,500 grant from the South Bay Center for Counseling (SBCC) to support the Prevention and Aftercare Program, and ADOPT Resolution No. 25-136, "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF CARSON CITY COUNCIL AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 2025-26 BUDGET IN THE GENERAL FUND AND SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS";

2. APPROVE the proposed “Amendment No. 4 to the 2022 Subcontract for Prevention and Aftercare Program Activities and Services” between the City and SBCC (Exhibit No. 2; “Amendment No. 4"); and,

3. AUTHORIZE the Mayor to execute Amendment No. 4, following approval as to form by the City Attorney.

III. ALTERNATIVES

1. TAKE another action the City Council deems appropriate.

IV. BACKGROUND
Since 2008, the City of Carson has received a reimbursement grant from the South Bay Center for Counseling (SBCC) to support family-focused community programs.  The funding initially supported the Prevention Initiative Demonstration Project and various Family Support programs, which created youth leadership opportunities and provided activities and workshops to help strengthen family relationships.  In 2015, the City and SBCC partnered on a new effort called the Prevention and Aftercare Program.  This program offers services such as family coaching, goal-setting support, and referrals for families in Carson and nearby communities.  The goals of the program include:

Preventing child maltreatment before it occurs
Providing supportive services to families who may be at risk Increasing child safety and helping families remain together when issues can be successfully addressed through services
To support these services, SBCC holds a prime contract with Los Angeles County.  The City of Carson serves as a service provider under that County contract.  A new prime contract was executed by the County and SBCC on March 1, 2021, and the City entered into a subcontract with SBCC on the same date.  That subcontract expired on June 30, 2022, and was replaced by a new subcontract effective July 1, 2022 (the “2022 Subcontract”).  The 2022 Subcontract included a one-year initial term and options for up to three additional one-year extensions and one additional six-month extension, matching the term structure of the County’s prime contract.

On June 17, 2025, the City Council accepted a $28,500 grant from SBCC to operate the Prevention and Aftercare Program from July 1 through December 31, 2025.  Although the Council accepted the funds, the required budget resolution to formally allocate the money to the correct City accounts was not completed at that time.  The County has since extended the term of the prime contract through December 31, 2025, and is expected to extend it again for an additional 18 months.  Based on this anticipated extension, SBCC has notified the City that it will award another $28,500 to support program services from January 1 through June 30, 2026.

To align the City’s subcontract with the updated County schedule, Amendment No. 4 to the 2022 Subcontract is proposed this evening.  This amendment would extend the subcontract for six months, through June 30, 2026, and adjust the contract amount to include the new grant funding.  A future Amendment No. 5 will be brought to the City Council at a later date to consider extending the subcontract further, through June 30, 2027, consistent with the County’s longer anticipated extension.

To allow the Prevention and Aftercare Program to continue without interruption, staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 25-136, which formally allocates both the previously accepted grant funds and the new award.  Staff also recommends City Council approval of the proposed Amendment No. 4 to the 2022 Subcontract with SBCC.  Once the County finalizes its amendment with SBCC (expected December 8, 2025), the City Attorney’s Office will insert the effective date into the final version of the proposed Amendment No. 4 so it may be fully executed.

V. FISCAL IMPACT
If the City Council approves staff’s recommendation, there will be no fiscal impact to the City’s General Fund.  The revenue from this grant has already been included in the Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Operating Budget under Account No. 210-99-999-999-4513, which is the account used to record incoming grant funds for this program.  All expenditures related to the grant will be charged to existing program accounts within the Youth & Family Services Division, as follows:
210-90-950-980-5002:  Full-Time Salary: Covers staff time dedicated to delivering program services. 210-90-950-980-5501:  Retirement: Reflects the City’s required retirement contributions for staff supported by the grant.
210-90-950-980-5502:  Medical Benefits: Covers the health insurance costs for staff funded by the program. 210-90-950-980-5503:  Dental Insurance: Covers dental benefits for program staff. 210-90-950-980-5505:  Group Life Insurance: Covers life insurance benefits for staff. 210-90-950-980-5510:  Medicare: Reflects the City’s Medicare contributions for program staff.

All costs will be fully supported by the grant funding and do not require additional City resources.

SUBCONTRACT FOR PREVENTION AND AFTERCARE PROGRAM ACTIVITIES

AND SERVICES
This SUBCONTRACT FOR PREVENTION AND AFTERCARE PROGRAM
ACTIVITIES AND SERVICES (" Subcontract") is made and entered into effective the 1st day of July, 2022, by and between the SOUTH BAY CENTER FOR COUNSELING, a California corporation ( hereafter " CONTRACTOR"), located at 540 N. Marine Ave., Wilmington, CA 90744, and the City of Carson, a California municipal corporation ( hereafter SUBCONTRACTOR"), located at 701 E. Carson St., Carson, CA 90745. Contractor and Subcontractor are sometimes referred to herein, individually or collectively, as " Party" or Parties."

RECITALS
A. The County of Los Angeles ( hereafter " COUNTY"), awarded CONTRACTOR a Contract for prevention and aftercare services (" Prime Contract"). The Prime Contract was entered into March 1, 2021, for an initial 16 -month term with four COUNTY options to extend the term for up to three additional one-year periods and one 6 -month period from July 1, 2022 through December 31, 2025.

B. In order to fulfill its obligations to COUNTY under the Prime Contract, CONTRACTOR desires to engage SUBCONTRACTOR to perform prevention and aftercare program activities and services.

C. CONTRACTOR did engage SUBCONTRACTOR for this purpose and said parties entered into a subcontract on March 1, 2021, which carried an initial 16 -month term and included three one- year options of CONTRACTOR to extend the term of said subcontract ( the 2021 Subcontract"). However, the 2021 Subcontract should have also included a fourth, 6 - month option to extend such that the term of the 2021 Subcontract, inclusive of all option periods, would be co - extensive with the term of the Prime Contract, inclusive of all option periods. The initial term of the 2021 Subcontract is set to expire on June 30, 2022, and in order to address the aforementioned discrepancy, CONTRACTOR and SUBCONTRACTOR intend to enter into this new Subcontract in lieu of CONTRACTOR exercising an option to extend the term of the 2021 Subcontract.

D. SUBCONTRACTOR desires to perform such work, in accordance with the Terms and Conditions of this Subcontract.

E. The Parties desire to formalize the selection of SUBCONTRACTOR for performance of those services defined and described particularly in Section 3.3 of this Subcontract and desire that the terms of that performance be as particularly defined and described herein.

AMENDMENT NO. 4
TO 2022 SUBCONTRACT FOR PREVENTION AND AFTERCARE PROGRAM

ACTIVITIES AND SERVICES
This Amendment No. 4 to 2022 Subcontract for Prevention and Aftercare Program Activities and Services (“Amendment No. 4”) by and between the SOUTH BAY CENTER FOR COUNSELING, a California corporation (“Contractor”) and the CITY OF CARSON, a California municipal corporation (“Subcontractor”) is effective as of the ________ day of _________, 2026.

Contractor and Subcontractor are sometimes hereinafter individually referred to as “Party” and hereinafter collectively referred to as “Parties.”

RECITALS
A. The County of Los Angeles (“County”) and Contractor entered into Contract Number 21 -03-08 for prevention and aftercare services (CFDA No. 93.556) (the “Prime Contract”), whereby the County provided certain funding to Contractor for the provision of certain prevention and aftercare services to County residents.

B. The Prime Contract was entered into March 1, 2021, for an initial 16 -month term through June 30, 2022, with four County options to extend the term of the Prime Agreement for up to three additional one -year periods and one 6 -month period, from July 1, 2022 through December 31, 2025 . County exercised its first option to extend the term of the Prime Contract from July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023, its second option to extend the term of the Prime Contract from July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024, its third option to extend the term of the Prime Contract from July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025 , and its fourth option to extend the term of the Prime Contract from July 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025.

C. In order to fulfill its obligations under the Prime Contract, Contractor entered into a subcontract with Subcontractor effective March 1, 2021, which carried an initial 16-month term through June 30, 2022, and included three one -year options of Contractor to extend the term of said subcontract (the “2021 Subcontract”). However, the 2021 Sub contract should have also included a fourth, 6-month option to extend such that the term of the 2021 Subcontract, inclusive of all its option periods, would be co -extensive with the term of the Prime Contract, inclusive of all its option periods.

D. In order to address this discrepancy, upon expiration of the initial 16 -month term of the 2021 Subcontract, the parties entered into a new “Subcontract for Prevention and Aftercare Program Services and Activities” effective July 1, 2022 (the “ 2022 Subcontract”), whereby Contractor engaged Subcontractor to perform certain prevention and aftercare services as described in Section 3.3 of the 2022 Subcontract (the “Services”) in exchange for compensation in the amount of $57,000 (the “Contract Sum”) for the ini tial one -year term of the 2022 Subcontract, from July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023. The 2022 Subcontract, at Section 2.0, provided Contractor with options to extend the term of the 2022 Subcontract beyond June 30, 2023 for up to two one -year periods and one additional six -month period (which options, collectively, would extend the term th rough December 31, 2025), or as otherwise authorized by the Prime Contract.

01007.0001 2066020.3

E. Effective July 1, 2023, Contractor and Subcontractor entered into Amendment No. 1 to the 2022 Subcontract to (i) exercise Contractor’s first option to extend the t erm of the 2022 Subcontract by one year, from July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024, to correspond with the above- referenced extension of the term of the Prime Contract for said period, and (ii) increase the Contract Sum by $57,000 for the one-year extension period, thereby increasing the total Contract Sum of the 2022 Subcontract from $ 57,000 to $11 4,000, and made other minor related modifications.

F. Effective July 1, 2024, Contractor and Subcontractor entered into Amendment No. 2 to the 2022 Subcontract to (i) exercise Contractor’s second option to extend the term of the 2022 Subcontract by one year from July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025, to correspond with the above - referenced extension of the term of the Prime Contract for sai d period, and (ii) increase the Contract Sum by $57,000 for the one-year extension period, thereby increasing the total Contract Sum of the 2022 Subcontract from $114,000 to $171,000 and make other minor related modifications.

G. Effective July 1, 2025, Contractor and Subcontractor entered into Amendment No. 3 to the 2022 Subcontract to (i) exercise Contractor’s third and final option to extend the term of the 2022 Subcontract by one additional six-month period from July 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025, to correspond with the above -referenced extension of the Term of the Prime Contract for said period, and (ii) increase the Contract Sum by $28,500 for the six -month extension period, thereby increasing the total Contract Sum of the 2022 Subcontract from $171,000 to $199,500.

H. Effective ___________ ____, 202_ , County and Contractor entered into an amendment to the Prime Contract, whereby the term of the Prime Contract was extended by one additional eighteen-month period, from January 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027.

I. Accordingly, Contractor and Subcontractor now desire to amend the 2022 Subcontract to (i) extend the term of the 2022 Subcontract by one additional six -month period, from January 1, 2026 through June 30, 2026, and (ii) increase the Contract Sum by $28,500 for the six-month extension period, thereby increasing the total Contract Sum of the 2022 Subcontract from $199,500 to $228,000.

CITY OF CARSON 701 East Carson Street
Report to Honorable Mayor and City Council
Tuesday, December 2, 2025, 5:00 PM
CONSENT 27. To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Michael Whittiker, Community Services Director CS Operations Subject: CONSIDER AWARDING A CONTRACT SERVICES AGREEMENT TO WATERLINETECHNOLOGIES, INC., TO PROVIDE AND DELIVER POOL CHEMICALS FOR THE CITY OF CARSON'SPOOLS, FOUNTAINS, SPLASH PAD, AND AQUATIC CENTERS (CITY COUNCIL) I. SUMMARY
On August 13, 2025, the City issued Invitation for Bids (IFB) No. 25-12 (Exhibit No. 1) seeking qualified companies to supply and deliver pool chemicals for the City’s pools, aquatic centers, splash pad, and decorative fountains.  An Invitation for Bids is a formal process the City uses to request competitive pricing from vendors.  When the IFB closed on September 4, 2025, the City received five bids (Exhibit No. 2).  After completing a thorough review and evaluation of all submissions, staff identified Waterline Technologies, Inc. (Waterline) as the lowest responsive and responsible bidder (Exhibit No. 3).  A responsive bidder is one that submits all required documents, and a responsible bidder is one that has the capability, experience, and reliability to perform the work successfully.  Based on this evaluation, staff recommends awarding Waterline Technologies, Inc. a five-year Contract Services Agreement for a not-to-exceed total of $300,000, which averages approximately $60,000 per year over the life of the contract (Exhibit No. 4).  This agreement will ensure the City has a reliable supplier for pool chemicals needed to safely operate its aquatic facilities.

II. RECOMMENDATION
TAKE the following actions:

1. AWARD and APPROVE a proposed five-year Contract Services Agreement between the City of Carson and Waterline Technologies, Inc., to provide and deliver pool chemicals for the City's aquatic facilities, splash pad, and fountains for a total, not-to-exceed Contact Sum of $300,000.00 (Exhibit No. 4; “Agreement”); and,

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

III. ALTERNATIVES

1. TAKE another action City Council deems appropriate.

IV. BACKGROUND
The Community Services/Recreation/Park Maintenance Department is responsible for the care and upkeep of the City’s aquatic facilities, which include the Carson Park Pool, Foisia Park Pool, Dominguez Aquatic Center, Hemingway Aquatic Center, the splash pad at Carson Park, and the fountains located at City Hall and the Carson Event Center.  These facilities are maintained by the Park Maintenance Division.  To keep these amenities safe, sanitary, and fully operational, and to comply with regulations set by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, the City must regularly purchase and maintain an ongoing supply of pool chemicals.  These chemicals are used to keep pool water clean, disinfected, and properly balanced.  They include, but are not limited to:

Sodium Hypochlorite (UN 1791):  A liquid chlorine solution used to disinfect pool water.

Hydrochloric Acid (UN 1789, also known as Muriatic Acid):  Used to lower pH levels to keep water chemistry balanced and safe for swimmers.

Pool-grade Sodium Bicarbonate:  Added to stabilize alkalinity in pool water.

Chlorine Tablets:  Slow-dissolving tablets used for continuous disinfection.

On August 13, 2025, the City issued Invitation for Bids (IFB) No. 25-12 to seek qualified vendors to supply and deliver these materials.  An Invitational for Bids is a formal competitive process required under the Carson Municipal Code (CMC), where the City must award the contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder unless all bids are rejected.  A responsive bidder is one that submits all required documents and meets the bid specifications, while a responsible bidder is one that has the proven ability, reliability, and capacity to perform the work.

The IFB closed on September 4, 2025, and the City received five bids.  In accordance with CMC 2611(b), a staff evaluation panel reviewed and ranked all submissions based on the evaluation criteria detailed in the IFB (pages 6- 7).  After the evaluation, three of the five bids were determined to be non-responsive or not responsible, meaning they did not meet the required qualifications or did not submit complete or compliant bid materials.  Of the two remaining qualified bidders, Waterline Technologies, Inc. submitted the lowest overall cost.  Based on these findings, staff recommends awarding a five-year Contract Services Agreement to Waterline Technologies, Inc. for a not-to-exceed amount of $300,000, which will ensure consistent, reliable delivery of the pool chemicals needed to maintain all of the City’s aquatic facilities.

V. FISCAL IMPACT
Funding for this service is included in the adopted FY 2025-26 Community Services Operating Budget, and ongoing costs will be incorporated into future operating budgets.  The expenses will be charged to Account No. 101-90-950- 605-6004, which is the budget line used for purchasing pool chemicals and related supplies.

2 A. SUMMARY
The City of Carson (“City”) is soliciting sealed bids from qualified vendors for the supply and delivery of bulk and packaged pool chemicals, including UN 1791 (Sodium Hypochlorite), UN 1789 (Hydrochloric Acid), Chlorine Tablets, and Sodium Bicarbonate, on an as needed and scheduled basis.

Incorporated as a general law city on February 20, 1968, the City of Carson became a California charter city on November 6, 2018, following voter approval. As one of the youngest municipalities in the South Bay region of Los Angeles County, Carson has grown significantly —from a population of 61,000 in 1968 to nearly 100,000 residents today. The City spans 19.2 square miles and is located less than 20 miles south of downtown Los Angeles.

Carson is a culturally diverse and strategically located community with exceptional accessibility.

The City is served by four major freeways—the Harbor (110), San Diego (405), Artesia (91), and Long Beach (710) —and is conveniently near Los Angeles Internat ional Airport, Long Beach Airport, the Port of Los Angeles, and the Port of Long Beach. Public transportation options include the MTA Bus Line and the City-operated Carson Circuit, providing efficient local transit.

Known for its modern infrastructure and business-friendly environment, Carson is home to major petrochemical, electronics, automotive, aerospace, trucking, and high -tech industries. Many companies headquartered here have received regional and local beautification awards. Through strong public-private partnerships, Carson continues to foster economic vitality and a promising future.

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 t he 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.

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 01007.0001/644685.1 -10-
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:
(a) 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;
(b) 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;
(c) 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.

Consultant shall incorporate similar indemnity agreements with its subcontractors and if it fails to do so Consultant shall be fully responsible to indemnify City hereunder therefore, and failure of City to monitor compliance with these provisions shall not be a waiver hereof.

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.

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.

Consultant agrees to cooperate fully with City and to provide City with the opportunity to review any response to discovery requests provided by Consultant.

ARTICLE 7. ENFORCEMENT OF AGREEMENT AND TERMINATION

7.1 California Law.

This Agreement shall be interpreted, construed and governed both as to validity and to performance of the parties in accordance with the laws of the State of California. Legal actions 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 2 01007.0001/644685.1 -13-
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, cost s, 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. 253.50

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 shor ter time as the Consultant may dete rmine. 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 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.

7.8 Termination for Default of Consultant.

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