Employer’s Liability Coverage. The insurer shall agree to waive all rights of subrogation against the City, its directors, officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers for losses paid under the terms of the insurance policy which arise from work or Services performed by the Contractor. (C) All Coverages. If Contractor maintains broader coverage and/or higher limits than the minimums shown above, the City is entitled to the broader coverage and/or higher limits maintained by Contractor. Thus, any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the City.
3.2.10.4 Other Provisions; Endorsements Preferred. Contractor shall endeavor to provide endorsements regarding the following provisions, but nonetheless understands, acknowledges and agrees that the following provisions shall apply and that failure to comply shall be considered to be a breach of this Agreement by Contractor:

Contractor understands, acknowledges and agrees that this provision is in full force and effect even if the City does not receive a waiver of subrogation endorsement from the insurer. (B) Notice. Contractor shall either: (1) require its insurer to provide thirty (30) days prior written notice to the City before coverage is suspended, voided, or canceled; or (2) notify City in writing that such notice is not available and forward any notice of such actions to the City within two (2) business days from date of receipt by Contractor. Contractor understands, acknowledges and agrees that this provision is in full force and effect even if the City does not receive a waiver of subrogation endorsement from the insurer.

No further payments shall be deemed due or will be made under this Agreement until any replacement bonds required by this Section are accepted by the City. To the extent, if any, that the total compensation or compensation for a project work order is increased in accordance with the Agreement, the Contractor shall, upon request of the City, cause the amount of the bonds to be increased accordingly and shall promptly deliver satisfactory evidence of such increase to the City. To the extent available, the bonds shall further provide that no change or alteration of the Agreement (including, without limitation, an increase in the total compensation or compensation for a project work order, as referred to above), extensions of time, or modifications of the time, terms, or conditions of payment to the Contractor, will release the surety.

• • 172– Traffic Signals
• • 44 – Electronic Traffic Control Devices
These devices collectively known as the City’s Traffic Signal System, contribute to the City’s transportation infrastructure and play a vital role in providing safe reliable transportation in the area. Damage and maintenance of this infrastructure plays a direct role in maintaining that infrastructure. Although, the City employees staff and contractors to perform routine maintenance and repairs of these facilities, some repairs are too numerous, require tools, equipment, or additional labor beyond staff’s capabilities and require the assistance of larger teams. In these cases, staff relies on outside contractors to supply additional labor, tools, equipment, materials and the like to help complete repairs and maintenance of the traffic signal system in a timely fashion.
The following is meant as a list of tasks and functions the Contractor is expected to perform. This is not an inclusive list and will include other related tasks and functions related to the maintenance and repair of the traffic signal system.
Damage Repair - Knockdowns
Damage can occur to the traffic signal system either by collision, age, weather conditions, construction activities, or other means. Damage can also occur 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. The timely repair of this damage is important. Selected firms are expected to respond to repairs within a timely manner.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBJECT:
WAIVER FROM SECTION 15.48.020 OF THE CORONA MUNICIPAL CODE
REQUIRING THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE MISSING PUBLIC STREET IMPROVEMENTS LOCATED AT 3980 HOWE STREET ASSOCIATED WITH THE CONSTRUCTION OF AN ACCESSORY STRUCTURE (APN 116-113-006) (APPLICANT: RICHARD DE
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
This staff report asks the City Council to consider a waiver from Section 15.48.020 of the Corona Municipal Code (CMC) for the City’s requirement to widen and improve the existing unimproved street section adjacent to 3980 Howe Street according to the City’s rural road standard and install a streetlight. The subject property contains an existing single-family home constructed in 1987. The subject property was created according to the development standards of the County of Riverside before annexing to the City of Corona in 1997. No public street improvements according to the City’s standards exist in the vicinity of the property on Howe Street and Galloway Lane. The applicant is proposing to construct a detached accessory structure on the property and is requesting the public street improvements be waived.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
That the City Council waive the requirement from Section 15.48.020 of the Corona Municipal Code requiring the construction of the missing public street improvements adjacent to 3980 Howe Street.
BACKGROUND & HISTORY:
The applicant and property owner of 3980 Howe Street is proposing to construct a 1,200 square foot detached accessory structure for a workshop and storage. The property contains an existing single-family home that was constructed in 1987. The subject property is situated at the northwest corner of Galloway Lane (formerly Williams Street) and Howe Street. It is part of the Overlook Addition No. 2 subdivision originally processed in the County of Riverside. On March 9, 1997, the unincorporated portion of the Overlook Addition No. 2 was officially annexed to the City of Corona.
According to CMC Section 15.48.020(A), any new structure or addition greater than 650 square feet on a property shall be evaluated for missing public improvements along the property’s street frontage. In this case, the property is required to be improved according to the City’s rural road standard and a single streetlight may be required at intersections.
Galloway Lane requires a 50-foot wide overall right-of-way width, which includes a roadway width of 28 feet, and Howe Street requires a 50-foot wide overall right-of-way width, which includes a roadway width of 26 feet along the property’s street frontages.
The overall right-of-way width on Howe Street adjacent to the subject property does not exist and is only 40 feet wide. Because of the addition of the 1,200 accessory structure to the property, the owner is required to dedicate an additional 5 feet of right-of-way on Howe Street adjacent to the property to meet the half-street width from the street’s centerline. The overall right-of-way width for Galloway Lane exists adjacent to the subject property and no additional dedication is required.
The current street improvements are consistent with the County of Riverside’s street standard at the time of construction and no additional public street improvements have been constructed adjacent to the properties in the vicinity of 3980 Howe Street.
Additionally, no lien exists on any of the properties in the neighborhood for the future construction of the road widening to the city’s rural road standard.
The applicant submitted a public improvement waiver request to the City requesting the City Council waive the construction of the missing public street improvements along the subject site’s frontage. The applicant has indicated the construction of the missing public street improvements would be incongruent with the properties that are immediately adjacent to the subject property and cause an unforeseen financial hardship in constructing a detached accessory structure on the property.
ANALYSIS:
The property owner has agreed to dedicate to the City the five feet of the missing street right-of-way width on Howe Street adjacent to the property should this section of Howe Street be fully improved according to the City’s rural road standard in the future. Outside of the street dedication, CMC Section 15.48.030 allows the City Council to grant a waiver or defer the construction of the public street improvements required per CMC Section
15.48.020(A).
Staff have determined that the findings exist for the City Council to grant the waiver from the requirement to construct the missing public street improvements for the following reasons:
a) The construction of the missing public street improvements would be inconsistent with the current street improvements in the vicinity of 3980 Howe Street, which still maintains the original rural street improvements according to the Overlook Addition No. 2 subdivision processed by the County of Riverside. The existing neighborhood has been established for over 30 years, and the absence of the required public street improvements is not expected to adversely affect the safety of the community.
b) The cost of constructing the missing public street improvements would make the overall project financially infeasible and is an unnecessary hardship to the applicant because the cost of the street improvements would exceed the actual cost of construction of the accessory structure.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The applicant has paid the required processing fee for this waiver in the amount of $968.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
This action is exempt pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), which states that a Project is exempt from CEQA if the activity is covered by the commonsense exemption that CEQA applies to only projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. There is no possibility that this action on granting a waiver from CMC Section 15.48.020, will have a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, no environmental analysis is required.

BACKGROUND & HISTORY:
The City of Corona Public Works Department maintains the City’s roadway striping and pavement markings. Corona is proactive, utilizing contractors to provide pavement marking services on public streets. These services include reapplying existing markings, removing them, and installing new ones.
The pavement marking services these firms provide are an important part of maintaining a safe environment for all modes of travel, including vehicles, bicycles, pedestrians, and emergency services. Maintaining visible, reflective pavement markings helps provide clear instruction to roadway users as they traverse the City’s extensive roadway network.
These services reinstall faded markings, including lane lines, bike lanes, crosswalks, and many other roadway regulatory markings on City roadways.
ANALYSIS:
Request for Proposals (RFP) 25-014SB for Street Striping Services was advertised on November 26, 2024, pursuant to Corona Municipal Code (CMC) Section 3.08.110 Nonpublic projects formal bidding procedure, and posted on the City’s bidding portal, PlanetBids. On January 7, 2025, three (3) proposals were received through the PlanetBids bidding service. A total of 66 contractors were solicited through PlanetBids, with 14 Prospective bidders and 11 bid services companies downloading the bid and contract documents. In return, the bid service companies notify their clients of the potential bid opportunity by providing additional exposure for the project.
Proposals were evaluated by three staff members from the Public Works Department.
Firms were evaluated based on their ability to provide the services specified in the Scope of Work on the following criteria:
Completeness of Response: Pass or Fail. Responses must be complete and include proposal content requirements and subsequent addenda. Work Plan/Work Organization: 25 points. Provide work plan approach to accomplish the operation and maintenance tasks as defined in the work statement.

Cypress, CA 1
WGJ Enterprises, Inc dba PCI Azusa, CA 2
Safe USA Ontario, CA 3
After evaluation, staff recommends awarding to the top two (2) contractors, Superior Pavement Markings, Inc., and WGJ Enterprises, Inc. dba PCI. The annual agreement amounts recommended for each award is $200,000.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Funding for the recommended actions is available in the Striping Rehabilitation Operating and Maintenance Project No. 72920 within the Gas Tax Fund 222 and Measure A Fund 227. The street striping and pavement marking maintenance repair services are jointly funded by the California Gas Tax and the Riverside County Measure A Sales Tax and funds for these services are allocated each year in the operating and maintenance project.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
This action is exempt pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), which states that a project is exempt from CEQA if the activity is covered by the commonsense exemption that CEQA applies only to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. This action involves the approval of street striping and pavement marking services agreements, and there is no possibility that these actions will have a significant effect on the environment.
Therefore, no environmental analysis is required.

3.2.10.4 Other Provisions; Endorsements Preferred.

Contractor shall either: (1) require its insurer to provide thirty (30) days prior written notice to the City before coverage is suspended, voided, or canceled; or (2) notify City in writing that such notice is not available and forward any notice of such actions to the City within two (2) business days from date of receipt by Contractor.
