AGENDA ITEM REPORT
ITEM NO. CC 3
Meeting: July 16, 2024
Title: Professional Services Agreement with El Dorado Climbing for the Design, Build, and Installation of a Rock-Climbing Facility as a Component of the Covina Recreation Village Project
Presented by: Brian K. Lee, AICP, Director of Community Development Recommendation: Authorize the City Manager to enter into a Professional Services Agreement with El Dorado Climbing with a compensation amount not to exceed $160,000.
The Covina Recreation Village Project is an ambitious City project consisting of the adaptive reuse of a former orange packing facility into a new community park and library plaza. The Covina Recreation Village is scoped to feature a brand-new library facility, indoor gymnasium, and exterior amenities such as a dog park and nature trail.
As part of this project, space in the indoor gymnasium will house a rock-climbing structure for general public use and instructional classes. It is recommended that the City Council consider the proposed professional services agreement to furnish and install the rock-climbing equipment, safety flooring materials and related equipment.
Four (4) pricing proposals were received from firms specializing in the design, fabrication and installation of climbing apparatus as follows:
Table 1. Rock Climbing Vendor Comparison
Company Quote Includes
Installation Notes
Rockwerx $318,661 Yes
Includes Design, Engineering, Fabrication, and
Installation.
Vertical Solutions $293,000 Yes
Includes design, fabrication and installation. Does not include structural engineering, or shipping costs (pass through costs).
El Dorado
Climbing $135,200 Yes Includes Design, Engineering, Fabrication, Installation, Training and other related items totaling $12,200.
Elevate Climbing $137,063.05* Yes
Includes additional cost for flooring of $75/sq. ft. x 365 sq. ft. = $27,375;
*Does not include Design Engineering or other related
items (estimated to be $10,000)
In reviewing the proposal from Elevate Climbing, it was determined that the vendor did not include a project schedule, renderings of the climbing apparatus or an explanation of terms to fabricate/install its equipment.
Further, flooring materials were excluded from the base price of $99,688.05. Using a unit cost of $75 per square foot for flooring materials, it is estimated that the flooring installation will cost $27,375 and design engineering will cost $10,000, bringing the total price quote to $137,063.05.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY/DISCUSSION
DISCUSSION:
Based on the additional costs associated with Elevate Climbing’s proposal, it has been determined that the proposal from El Dorado Climbing is the lowest responsive proposal to complete the installation. El Dorado Climbing’s proposal included a detailed design plan, apparatus fabrication, flooring, engineering services and installation. Additionally, El Dorado Climbing has a strong track record of successful projects completed for other public agencies. The total cost provided by El Dorado Climbing is for $135,200, which is roughly $2,000 less than the price provided by Vertical Solutions.
Based on this analysis, it is recommended that the City Council consider awarding a professional services agreement to El Dorado Climbing for the Covina Recreation Village Project. The agreement, not to exceed a total cost of $160,000, is for a scope of work totaling $135,200 and includes a project contingency of approximately 15%.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The indoor rock-climbing gym is an eligible expense under an awarded Prop 68 Grant received by Covina to develop the Covina Recreation Village Project (4600PR68). This grant funds recreation-related construction. As such, this expense has no impact on the General Fund.
CEQA (CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT):
Exempt.

INTRODUCTION
Dear Daniella and the City of Covina,
We want to thank you for allowing us the opportunity to provide you with this climbing wall proposal for your new community recreation center.
Included in our proposal you will find wall renderings and pricing based on the provided 100% CDs .
As one of the pioneers of the indoor climbing industry, Eldorado (USA-owned and operated) has successfully installed well over 2,000 world-class climbing structures.
We are an industry leader in designing and building climbing walls for municipal recreation and fitness centers. Select clients include:
• City of Merrillville, IN
• City of Winona, MN
• City of Casper, WY
• City of Boulder, CO
I am available to answer any questions and provide any additional details as needed. I can be reached at (303) 913-2685.
Thank you for your interest in Eldorado Climbing and I look forward to discussing this proposal with you.
Best Regards,
Mike Wedding
Sr. Director of Sales
• City of Canton, GA
• City of Berthoud, CO
• City of Des Moines, IA
• City of Creede, CO
Although there are many vendors available to design and install your climbing wall, partnering with Eldorado Climbing offers many distinct advantages that no other climbing wall vendor can offer.
1. Industry Leading Experience
Over the last 28+ years Eldorado Climbing has accumulated the largest breadth of project experience in the world.
Over 2000+ clients have trusted Eldorado to build their climbing walls. With partners ranging from over 200 Universities and countless climbing gyms to corporate headquarters and some of the largest resorts in the world, no other climbing wall manufacturer has the depth of knowledge, design experience, problem solving, and project management experience than Eldorado.
2. 30 Years of Proven Success Partnering with General Contractors Since building our first climbing wall nearly 30 years ago, Eldorado Climbing has partnered with over 400 General Contractors, including many of the largest GCs in the world. Comprehensive pre-construction and project management services are required in order to deliver large, contracted projects on time and on budget. We apply our time-tested pre-construction and project management services to every project to ensure we meet all budgetary and timeline expectation with no costly surprises.
3. Pre- Construction Services
Our pre-construction services play a key role in our success by eliminating costly change orders, providing potential cost savings, and ensuring our projects are delivered on time and on budget. Having a thorough understanding of each project goes beyond just knowing the size and budget for your climbing gym. Site access/analysis, scheduling, use case analysis, programming & curriculum needs, and aesthetic goals are just some of the critical items we carefully consider to ensure each project is delivered on time and on budget.

TIMELINE METHODOLOGY
As an industry leader, Eldorado Climbing has been designing and installing World Class climbing structures since 1991. Frequent communication with architects, decision makers, general contractors, facility managers, and user groups allow each project to run smoothly and be delivered on time.
Eldorado understands that adding a climbing facility to any building is a major investment and we partner with you to maximize your return on that investment by providing innovative and creative designs, industry-leading construction practices, and time-tested operational plans and strategies.
Each climbing wall will be permanently or modularly attached to a fully engineered steel substructure and will meet or exceed all CWA & CWIG standards. In addition to the base climbing walls, all other specified or required equipment will be included to provide a turnkey facility.
After the project has been awarded and a contract executed, the formal DESIGN phase occurs where the final size, shape, color, and cost of the climbing wall(s) will be approved and signed-off by the client and Eldorado.
SHOP DRAWINGS are then generated and passed along to Eldorado’s ENGINEERING team for analysis. If required, installation and/or calc packages will be stamped and sealed by a licensed SE, defining all specifications for fabrication and install.
The Project Management team will contact the project owners and their General Contractor to coordinate schedules, review building conditions and identify site needs. During this planning phase, materials and equipment are procured so that FABRICATION can begin at Eldorado's shop in Louisville, CO. MOBILIZATION follows next in order to ensure that all materials and Eldorado field crew arrive according to schedule.
As the onsite Installation process begins, the Project Management team receives Daily Reports from the Job Foreman on the progress of the INSTALLATION. Eldorado stays in continuous contact with the owner and the General Contractor throughout the entire project to ensure proper Training , hand-off and closeout occur.

Title: Resolution CC 2024-51, A Request to Amend the Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Operating Budget to Fund Annexation Services for Stormwater Covina Community Facilities District No. 2022-1 - Stormwater
Presented by: Brian K. Lee, AICP, Director of Community Development Recommendation: Adopt Resolution CC 2024-51 amending the operating budget for fiscal year 2024-2025 to fund Annexation Services for Community Facilities District No. 2022-1 – Stormwater.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY/BACKGROUND:
On March 1, 2022, the City Council of the City of Covina approved and adopted Resolution CC 2022-20 which established the City of Covina Community Facilities District No. 2022-1 (Stormwater) pursuant to the MelloRoos Community Facilities Act of 1982. The assessment revenue is received from the LA County Tax Assessor and is utilized by the City to fund all direct and incidental costs related to providing for the maintenance of public infrastructure within the area of the Community Facilities District and areas adjacent to such areas. As proposed, $4,300 will be appropriated from the Stormwater Special District Fund for district administration services.
DISCUSSION:
On March 19, 2024, the City Council authorized the City Manager to execute a Professional Services Agreement for Special District Administration Services, Annexation Services, Continuing Disclosure Services, and Arbitrage Rebate Services, with an amount not-to-exceed $78,100 for the first year of the initial five-year term. The Special District Administration and Annexation Services cost for stormwater Covina Community Facilities District No. 2022-1 is $4,300 of the $78,100 total.
In order to pay for services rendered under the Agreement, the Community Development is requesting that $4,300 be amended to the Fiscal Year 2023-2024 Operating Budget to fund the annexation services for stormwater Covina Community Facilities District No. 2022-1.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This action will have no impact on the General Fund. Special District Stormwater Administration Services are budgeted out of fund 4707 and offset using generated district tax revenues. An amendment to the FY 2024-2025 operating Budget is necessary to pay for the Special District Administration and Annexation Services as follows:

Title: Resolution CC 2024-52 to Amend the Fiscal Year 2024/2025 Capital Improvement Program to Increase Funding for the Hollenbeck Park Urban Greening Revitalization Project – Project No. P2403
Presented by: Rafael M. Fajardo, Interim Director of Public Works/City Engineer Recommendation: Adopt Resolution CC 2024-52 to appropriate $252,800 from available Quimby Fees Fund – Fund Balance to the Hollenbeck Park Urban Greening Revitalization Project (Account No. 2604-3400-55200-P2207) to provide additional project funding necessary to complete the Hollenbeck Park Urban Greening Revitalization Project.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY/BACKGROUND:
On April 2, 2024, the City Council approved a contract with Green Giant Landscape, Inc. for the revitalization of Hollenbeck Park from a generally turf-oriented public park into an urban forest and interpretive garden by replacing approximately 102,000 square feet (2.3 acres) of excess grass areas along the park’s perimeter into a drought tolerant urban forest with plant species native to the San Gabriel Valley region. The revitalization of Hollenbeck Park will incorporate several amenities to directly benefit the local community and the environment such as:
An interactive, educational hummingbird and butterfly nature garden Planting of native, drought-tolerant shade trees and shrubs Community education and interpretive garden signage
1/4 mile of a permeable walking and bike trail along the park’s perimeter (similar to the Covina Park Trail) Solar pedestrian lighting
A bioswale and retention basins along the project’s southern boundary to provide for groundwater recharge through storm-water and dry-weather capture to manage periodic flooding within the park DISCUSSION:
The City of Covina was awarded approximately $2,000,000 from the San Gabriel and Lower Los Angeles Rivers and Mountains Conservancy (RMC) via the RMC’s Climate Resilience Grant Program for the construction of the Hollenbeck Park Urban Greening Revitalization Project. In an effort to provide the community with a more comprehensive array of new recreational amenities at Hollenbeck Park, the Department of Public Works included other components during the project bid process that could potentially be funded with alternative funding sources including construction of a new basketball court (Alternate Bid Item #1) and the installation of fitness stations.
Due to grant guidelines and specifications, fitness stations and basketball courts do not qualify under the RMC’s Climate Resilience Grant Program due to grant restrictions funding only “passive recreation elements and educational/interpretive elements.”
Moreover, staff is proposing to utilize available Quimby Fees Funds to supplement recreational amenities at Hollenbeck Park in conjunction with the Hollenbeck Park Urban Greening Revitalization Project. Construction of a new basketball court (approximately $125,000) and installation of new fitness equipment along the walking and bike trail (approximately $127,800) will be funded with Quimby Fees Funds if Resolution CC 2024-52 is adopted. In turn, the overall construction contract with Green Giant Landscape, Inc. will be increased by $252,800, respectively.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Adoption of Resolution CC 2024-52 will appropriate $252,800 from available Quimby Fees Fund – Fund Balance to the Hollenbeck Park Urban Greening Revitalization Project (Account No. 2604-3400-55200-P2207).
CEQA (CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT):
This project has been determined to be categorically exempt under CEQA in accordance with Title 14, Chapter 3, Class 1, Sections 15301 and 15302. This exemption includes the minor alteration of existing public facilities involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the time of the lead agency's determination.

Title: Professional Services Agreement with Robert Half Presented by: Brian K. Lee, AICP, Director of Community Development Theresa Franke, Deputy Director of Administrative Services Recommendation: Approve Professional Services Agreement with Robert Half.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY/BACKGROUND
In 2022, the City entered into a non-council Professional Services Agreement with Robert Half, Inc for temporary staffing services to support the Finance Division. The contract had expired in 2023. The Finance Division and Community Development Division are requesting to utilize temporary staffing services offered by Robert Half, Inc., on an as-needed basis, for a compensation amount not to exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000).
The Community Development Division is leading a permitting and land management software transition effort away from Tyler/MUNIS and onto the Clariti /Salesforce platform. The Implementation of the new platform includes upgrading user interface and workflows for the Planning, Code Enforcement, Public Works, and Police Departments, will create a new customer application portal allowing online submittals and includes six custom integrations not previously utilized in the Tyler/MUNIS Program: Laserfiche Archiving, Bluebeam (electronic plan check), DocuSign (electronic signatures), GIS (geographic information system), Data Ticket (citation processing), and Elavon (online payments). The implementation portion has taken up considerable staff time and current Planning Division staffing levels are low, consisting of two (2) full-time positions and one (1) on-call/part time planning consultant. There are two (2) existing full time vacancies in the Planning Division. The Community Development Division is requesting one (1) temporary, supportive Business Systems Analyst role with technical expertise in Clariti/Salesforce that can 1.) Assume a project management role to implement the Planning Division related tasks, and 2.) Assume a general/supportive role in the administration of the project, to work to resolve pending requirements unfulfilled to allow formal project launch.
The Finance Division may at times request temporary staffing services to support the finance division on the caseby-case basis. Typical temporary staffing positions may include Cashier, Account Clerk, or Staffing Accountant.
The Professional Services Agreement would allow the City and consultant to mutually agree on a payrate depending on the Temporary Staff’s role and level of expertise. The payrate, scope of work, and hours assigned must be authorized by the City Manager or respective Department head before work may commence. The Agreement would also allow the City to hire, without incurring additional fees, assigned staff once that staff member has completed at least 520 hours of service on assignment to the City.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Compensation for services provided to the Finance Department and the Community Development Department in the form of temporary staffing/supportive services are provided for in the Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Operating Budget. The Temporary staff under consideration by the Community Development Department is estimated at $175/hour. The prospective staff resume can be found in Attachment A.

Title: Notice of Termination of Expired Lease Agreement for City-Owned Property at 114 E.
Italia Street
Presented by: Chris Marcarello, City Manager
Angel Carrillo, Deputy City Manager
Brian Lee, Director of Community Development
Recommendation: That the City Council receive and file this report.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City owns commercial real property at 114 E. Italia Street (“Property”). Over the years, the City has leased this Property to various operators for use as a restaurant establishment. On April 4, 2023, the City Council authorized a one-year Lease Agreement (“Lease”) for the Property that began on May 1, 2023 and expired on April 30, 2024. Since this time, the Lease has reverted to a month-to-month tenancy and on June 20, 2024, the City issued a notice of lease termination to the existing tenant effective July 31, 2024.
In anticipation of the lease expiration, the City issued a competitive Request for Proposals in April 2024 for prospective restaurant operators that may be interested in the site. It is expected that the City Council will consider a new lease for the property at an upcoming meeting.
BACKGROUND:
On April 17, 2018, the City Council approved the assignment of a lease to The Mena Company (“Tenant”) for the use of City property at 114 E. Italia Street (“Property”) as a restaurant space. As part of the assignment, the City and The Mena Company entered into a new lease agreement for an initial three (3) year period with tenant options to extend the lease for two (2) additional three (3) year periods. In March 2021, the optional three (3) year lease extension for the property was not exercised by the Tenant and in July 2021, the Lease reverted to a monthto-month tenancy for approximately twenty-one (21) months.
During the 2021 to 2023 month-to-month tenancy, the City and Tenant met on several occasions to outline terms for a successor Lease Agreement (“Lease”). As part of these discussions, the parties agreed to add provisions that would ensure the business remained open for lunch and dinner at least five (5) days per week, added language to ensure the rent and utilities would be paid on time, and added terms stipulating that should the Tenant be delivered a notice of default six (6) or more times during the first ten (10) months of the Lease, the Lease would automatically terminate sixty (60) calendar days later. The Tenant also agreed that defaults under the Lease could be cured by the Landlord using any part of their security deposit. In exchange for the inclusion of these terms, the City agreed to forgo a portion of increased rents which were due during the month-to-month tenancy over the previous twenty-one (21) month period. Following these negotiations, the parties agreed to enter into a new Lease for a one-year period, with the inclusion of these additional provisions.
In late-2023 and early-2024, the parties continued to meet and discuss business operations. During these meetings, the City reminded the Tenant that the one-year term would expire in April 2024 and that an open Request for Proposals (“RFP”) process would be completed when entering into a new lease agreement for the property. In May 2024, the Lease reverted to a month-to-month tenancy and on June 20, 2024, notice was provided of the City’s intent to terminate the expired Lease Agreement. This report serves to memorialize these actions.

Attn: Mr. Raul Mena
Re: Notice of Termination of Expired Lease Agreement ("Lease") dated April 4, 2023 between the City of Covina ("Landlord") and The Mena Co. ( dba "Giovanni's") for 114 E. Italia Street, Covina, California
Dear Mr. Raul Mena Sr.:
Since 2018, the City of Covina ("Landlord") has enjoyed having The Mena Co. (dba "Giovanni's") as a tenant at 114 E. Italia Street. As the City has grown, so too has the popularity ofthe dQwntown.
The demand for commercial space in the downtown has grown rapidly, and the City strives to provide those interested in becoming part of our community a chance to do so through the Request for Proposal process. During this process, interested parties can make a case for why their business is the best fit for tenancy in commercial locations owned by the City.
As you know, the above-referenced Lease between the City and The Mena Co. expired on April 30, 2024 in accordance with Section 1.2 of the attached copy of the Lease and has since become a month-to-month tenancy in accordance with Section 1.27 of the Lease. This Lease expiration triggered the Request for Proposal process for the City-owed 114 E. Italia Street commercial pad.
Three proposals, including yours, were received and evaluated holistically by the City Council. A variety of factors were considered, and ultimately the City has chosen to enter into a lease with a new restaurant operator.
This decision has not been made lightly, and we understand that this may be disappointing to you and the other proposer who were not selected to proceed. Ultimately, this decision was made based on the qualifications and vision presented by the selected operator, and is not a reflecti n of the merit or success of your business and proposal.
Please be advised that per Section 1.26 "Surrender/Restoration" and Section 1.27 "Holding Over" of the Lease, this serves to letter provide you with thirty (30) days' written notice of Lease Termination. The property must be vacated and surrendered to the Landlord by July 31 , 2024. 12923-000 IIJ.77266 1 vI. doc ATTACHMENT A
Please vacate the leased premises (and remove all personal property) by such date. Details regarding the condition of the property upon the Lease expiration can be found in Section 1.26 and Section 1.13 ofthe Lease.
We have enjoyed your tenancy over the last six years and wish for your continued prosperity in your future endeavors. If you have any questions, please respond (or have your legal counsel respond) in writing to both Candice Lee and Bruce Galloway with the City Attorney's offices by email at [email protected] and [email protected]. Please email Alana Mantilla at [email protected] if you would like to schedule a final inspection prior to your vacating ofthe property.
Sincerely,
Chris Marcarello, City Manager

Title: Award Minor Construction & Maintenance Services Agreement to Air On Time, Co. for HVAC Unit Replacements at the Public Works Yard
Presented by: Rafael M. Fajardo, Interim Director of Public Works/City Engineer Recommendation: Award Minor Construction & Maintenance Services Agreement for the Public Works Yard HVAC Replacement to Air On Time, Co. in the amount of $33,200, and authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City’s Public Works Yard, located at 534 North Barranca Avenue, houses 75% of the Public Works Department’s ten divisions. In an effort to maintain the integrity of pertinent building structures and provide suitable working conditions for City staff, the Public Works Department recently completed significant improvements at the Public Works Yard including the repair of roofing systems pertaining to the Administrative and General Maintenance Buildings. Additionally, City staff is proposing to replace the Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) units within these same buildings in order to restore full functionality to deteriorating components that have reached the end of their useful life.
DISCUSSION:
The existing HVAC units at the Public Works Yard Administration Building are rapidly deteriorating, requiring more frequent repairs during the past several months to temporarily address system failures. As a result, City staff are prone to uncomfortable working conditions during inclement weather and the Building Maintenance Operating Budget is being unnecessarily consumed by ineffective quick fixes. At this juncture, staff finds it necessary to replace rather than continue repairing the existing HVAC units servicing the Yard’s Administration Building in order to alleviate these stressors and provide a long-term, cost-effective solution for City coffers and Public Works staff, respectively.
Moreover, City staff recommends an award of a Minor Construction & Maintenance Service Agreement to Air On Time, Co. for the HVAC Unit Replacements at the Public Works Yard, Administration Building. The Department of Public Works requested informal proposals from three (3) professional and licensed HVAC firms and received the following proposals:
Rank Consultant Location Amount
1 Air On Time, Co Azusa, CA $33,200.00
2 Air-Bree Heating & A/C Inc. La Puente, CA No Response 3 Control Air Enterprises, LLC Anaheim, CA No Response
Staff reviewed the proposals received as well as the consultants’ background for competency. Staff determined that Air On Time, Co. is the successful low bidder based on similar projects completed for other private and public agencies.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Budget was approved and adopted at the June 4, 2024 City Council Meeting. Funding in the amount of $365,000 was allocated within the Public Works Department’s FY24-25 Building Maintenance Operating Budget (Account No. 70206100-52400).
CEQA (CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT):
This project has been determined to be categorically exempt under CEQA in accordance with Title 14, Chapter 3, Class 1, Sections 15301 and 15302. This exemption includes the minor alteration of existing public facilities involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the time of the lead agency's determination.
The project involves negligible or no expansion of an existing use.
