Agenda Report
Agenda Item 4.

DATE: March 8, 2022
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Mara Romano, Purchasing Agent
SUBJECT: Award of Bid No. 016-22 – Fire Admin Offices at Public Safety Center Re-Bid
RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council adopts the next Resolutions, in order, to:

Approve Plans and Specifications for the Fire Admin Offices at Public Safety Center Re-Bid project, Bid No. 016-22;

1. Find the protest submitted by 13Zero3, Inc., dba 13Zero3 Construction (13Zero3) timely but without merit;

2. Find the protests submitted by SAS Construction (SAS) and Firestone Builders, Inc. (FBI), to be untimely and without merit;

3. Find the first through sixth low bidders non-responsive for the reasons set forth in the agenda report; and

4. Award the bid to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder, SWCS, Inc., in the amount of $444,470 contingent upon approval of funding.

5. BACKGROUND:

The Fire Administrative Offices at Public Safety Center project includes constructing office improvements to relocate the Heartland Administrative staff to the third floor of the Public Safety Center. The proposed improvements include framing offices, conference rooms, hallways, installing electrical services, fiber optic cable, data connections, HVAC, flooring treatments, and purchasing fixtures, furnishings, and equipment.

On October 26, 2021, the City Council approved rejecting all bids and authorized re-bidding the project with revised plans and specifications.

This project was advertised on December 23, 2021. The City received nine responses on February 8, 2022, and evaluated the eight lowest submissions.

SAS and FBI, each submitted a written protest on February 28, 2022, which is more than five (5) business days following the opening of the bids (as outlined in Section 10. Bid Protest of the specifications) and are both untimely. In addition, their bids are determined to be non-responsive, as outlined below; therefore, even if timely, their protests lack merit. 13Zero3 submitted a written protest dated February 9, 2022. The protest was received within the timeframe provided and is deemed timely. 13Zero3’s protest stated the scope of work had not changed from Bid No. 009-22 - Fire Admin Offices at Public Safety Center. However, the re-bid specifications modified the “Furnish and Install Steelcase Furniture” portion of work from an additive alternate to a specialty item.

Additionally, 13Zero3 questioned the revised estimated bid value. Bid No. 009-22 listed the “Furnish and Install Steelcase Furniture” work as an additive alternate with an estimated base bid amount of $190,000 (not including the additive alternate amount). Bid No. 016-22 listed the work as a specialty item with the estimated base bid amount of $420,000 (including the specialty item). City staff finds 13Zero3’s protest without merit.

The aforementioned specialty work required proof the subcontractor performing the work was a Steelcase Authorized Dealer. The first low bidder, SAS, did not list any subcontractors.

However, a manufacturer letter naming bkm OfficeWorks, LLC as an authorized provider of Steelcase products and service was submitted with their bid, demonstrating the intent to use a subcontractor.

In accordance with California Public Contract Code (PCC) 4104, any person making a bid to perform work must list subcontractors in an amount in excess of one-half of one percent of the prime contractor’s total bid. Therefore, SAS is considered non-responsive for failure to specify a subcontractor per PCC 4104.

Additionally, PCC 4104 states a prime contractor shall list one subcontractor for each portion of work as is defined by the prime contractor in his/her bid. The fifth low bidder, L M Rasmussen Construction, (LMRC) listed two subcontractors for one portion of work with the Contractor State License Board (CSLB) number belonging to one subcontractor and the Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) Registration number belonging to the other. On February 11, 2022, LMRC was provided the opportunity to confirm the CSLB and DIR numbers listed; however, they did not comply. Therefore, LMRC is considered non-responsive for failure to list one subcontractor for each portion of work.

The second low bidder, FBI, did not include all of the required bid documents. Therefore, FBI is considered non-responsive for failure to submit a complete bid package.

Lastly, in accordance with the 2018 “Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction” (Green Book), a bidder is considered non-responsive for failure to perform at least fifty percent (50%) of the contract work with their own forces. This is to ensure that the general contractor has a sufficient vested stake in the outcome of the project.

The bids submitted by the third, fourth, and sixth low bidders (RS Construction & Development, Inc.; M.W. Vasquez Construction Co., Inc. dba Vasquez Construction Company; and 13Zero3, Inc., respectively) listed subcontractors performing more than fifty percent (50%) of the work; and are, therefore, non-responsive to the bid specifications.

Staff recommends that the City Council deems the bids of the first through sixth low bidders, as cited above, non-responsive and awards the bid to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder, SWCS, Inc., in the amount of $444,470. The summary of bids is attached and complete proposals are on file in the Purchasing Division.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The fiscal impact is $444,470. Funding will be available for this project contingent upon the approval of the budget amendment presented separately: Fire Admin Offices at PSC (PS0012).

SUBJECT: Contract Amendment for Window Repair/Maintenance at City Hall RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council adopts the next Resolution, in order, to increase the contract for the Window Repair/Maintenance at City Hall contract in the not-to-exceed amount of $14,075.

BACKGROUND:

The abovementioned project consists of weatherproofing, caulking, and glazing exterior windows at City Hall. The City issued a Request for Quotation and two responses were received on March 16, 2021. The City Manager approved the award of the public project in the amount of $96,100 in accordance with El Cajon Municipal Code section 3.20.130.B.

On August 3, 2021, the contract was increased in the amount of $15,300 for the repair of windows that were leaking at the Public Safety Center in accordance with City Council Policy B-4, which grants the City Manager authority to execute a change order in an amount not to exceed 25% of the original contract value.

Upon initial repairs to the windows at City Hall, it was discovered that the parapet wall top caps are leaking and should be repaired; as a result, an increase of $14,075 is requested. The total costs of these increases exceed 25% of the original contract value as established by City Council Policy B-4, thus requiring approval from the City Council.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of the $14,075 increase will supplement the current contract, for a total not-to-exceed amount of $125,475. Sufficient funds are available in Fiscal Year 2021-22 Annual Budget:

Window Repair/Maintenance at City Hall (IFM3724).

Agenda Report
Agenda Item 6.

DATE: March 8, 2022
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Yazmin Arellano, Director of Public of Works
SUBJECT: Heartland Fire & Rescue Administrative Offices - Project Update RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council:

Receives the Heartland Fire Administrative Offices (PS0012) project update;1.

Authorizes the appropriation of fund equity, and transfer, of $220,364 in the City Capital Improvement Program Fund (501); and

2. Appropriates $220,364 of additional funding in the Heartland Fire Administrative Offices (PS0012) project.

3. BACKGROUND:

Heartland Fire & Rescue Station 6 is located at 100 E Lexington Avenue and currently houses the Fire Chief, Division Chiefs and other administrative fire staff. The station is also home to Heartland Communications Facility Authority (HCFA), which operates a significant emergency dispatch center for the region. HCFA currently leases the space from the City and has a need to expand in order to maintain a high level of service to the community. The decision was made for Heartland Fire & Rescue administrative staff to move from Station 6 to the Public Safety Center, which has a vacant 1,842 square-foot space on the third floor. The move allows Fire management staff to be located in the same building as Police management staff. It also allows HCFA to grow and renew an extended lease agreement with the City.

City staff and a licensed architect began designing tenant improvements to construct offices for Heartland Fire & Rescue administrative staff in the Public Safety Center. Improvements include seven (7) fully-furnished offices, a conference room, and all associated electrical, mechanical and structural building components. On September 13, 2021, the City of El Cajon received five (5) competitive bids to construct and furnish the offices at the Public Safety Center. The lowest responsible and responsive bid of $474,587 was ultimately rejected due to higher-than-expected results. It was determined that the global supply chain crisis had increased the cost of materials substantially. Therefore, the project was re-advertised on December 23, 2021. On February 8, 2022, the City of El Cajon received nine (9) competitive bids with a lowest responsible and responsive bid of $444,470. This increase in bid pricing requires a budget increase of $220,364. This project will allow the City to lease the entire portion of Fire Station 6 that is currently being leased out by the Fire Administrative Offices.

This project was originally budgeted for $370,000 in Fiscal Year 2020 and funded entirely by the “Prop. O” Public Safety Infrastructure Fund. This funding source is now fully committed, therefore funding from the City Capital Improvement Program Fund is used for the proposed project budget increase of $220,364. If approved, the revised project budget will total $590,364.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This action would increase the $370,000 Heartland Fire Administration Offices (PS0012) project, funded by “Prop O,” by $220,364 from the City Capital Improvement Program Fund for a revised project budget of $590,364.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
FISCAL YEAR 2021 - 2022
PROJECT NAME: FIRE ADMIN OFFICES AT PSC
Design is anticipated to complete by Spring 2021 with construction following in fiscal year 2021-22.

Operating Budget Impact:

Minimal increases to utility expenses and building maintenance are anticipated from the project due to increasing occupancy at the Public Safety Center. Revenue generation from the lease of the proposed space is expected to offset all costs associated with increased utility consumption.

Architectural Services (8315)
Consulting Services (8325)
Description:

The project involves the design, construction and oversight of tenant improvements for the 3rd floor of the existing Public Safety Center (PSC) to house Fire administrative offices. The proposed improvements are in response to a request by Heartland Communications Facility Authority (HCFA) to relocate to the existing Fire Administrative offices, A portion of the 3rd floor of the PSC is currently vacant and suitable for the proposed use. Proposed improvements include: framing of offices, conference room and hallways; electrical services; fiber optic cable and data connections; heating, ventilation and cooling; flooring treatments; fixtures, furnishings and equipment.

Justification:

Heartland Communications Facility Authority (HCFA) is in need of office space that meets the needs of the authority. Relocating Fire Administrative staff to the Public Safety Center would allow for the expansion of HCFA to the current Fire Administrative office and generate additional revenue for the City via increased rent for the larger office space to be utilized by HCFA.

Initiative No. 21-0042A1 – The Taxpayer Protection and Government Accountability Act – Ballot initiative that seeks to allow certain taxes to pass electorate by simple majority, and sets new restrictions on how much local governments can charge utility companies, garbage companies, etc…in franchise fees. See attached briefing from League of California Cities. LCC opposes.

LEAGUE OF

CALIFORNIA
CITIES
The Taxpayer Protection and Government Accountability Act Initiative No. 21-0042A1
January 21, 2022
Summary: The measure limits the voters' input, adopts new and stricter rules for raising taxes and fees, and makes it more difficult to hold state and local law violators accountable.

Limiting Voter Authority and Accountability
• Limits voter input. Prohibits local voters from providing direction on how local tax dollars should be spent by prohibiting local advisory measures. • Invalidates Upland decision that allows majority of local voters to pass special taxes. Taxes proposed by the Initiative are subject to the same rules as taxes placed on the ballot by a city council. All measures passed between January 2022 and November 2022 would be invalidated unless reenacted within 12 months.

Restricting Local Fee Authority lo Provide Local Services • Franchise fees. Sets new standard for fees and charges paid for the use of local and state government property. The standard may significantly restrict the amount oil companies, utilities, gas companies, railroads, garbage companies, cable companies, and other corporations pay for the use of local public property. Rental and sale of local government property must be "reasonable" which must be proved by "clear and convincing evidence."
• Except for licensing and other regulatory fees, fees and charges may not exceed the "actual cost" of providing the product or service for which the fee is charged. "Actual cost" is the "minimum amount necessary." The burden to prove the fee or charge does not exceed "actual cost" is changed to "clear and convincing" evidence.

Restricting Authority of Stale and Local Governments to Issue Fines and Penalties for Violations of Law.
• Requires voter approval of fines, penalties, and levies for corporations and property owners that violate state and local laws unless a new, undefined adjudicatory process is used to impose the fines and penalties.

LEAGUE OF

CALIFORNIA
CITIES
Restricting Local Tax Authority to Provide Local Services • Expanding existing taxes (e.g., UUT, use tax, TOT) to new territory (e.g., annexation) or expanding the base (e.g., new utility service) requires voter approval.
• City charters may not be amended to include a tax or fee. • New taxes can be imposed only for a specific time period. • Taxes adopted after January l, 2022, that do not comply with the new rules, are void unless reenacted.
• All state taxes require majority voter approval.
• Prohibits any surcharge on property tax rate and allocation of property tax to state.

Other Changes
• No fee or charge or exaction regulating vehicle miles traveled can be imposed as a condition of property development or occupancy.

Agenda Item 8.

DATE: March 8, 2022
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Graham Mitchell, City Manager
SUBJECT: Side Letter Agreement Between the City of El Cajon and the El Cajon Police Officers' Association
RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council adopts the next Resolution, in order, approving a side letter agreement (attached) between the City and the El Cajon Police Officers' Association temporarily modifying Article 5, Section B of the Memorandum of Understanding between the City of El Cajon and the El Cajon Police Officers' Association.

BACKGROUND:

On July 1, 2019, the City of El Cajon and the El Cajon Police Officers’ Association (ECPOA) entered into a five-year labor Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), set to expire on June 30, 2024. The MOU provides orderly procedures for the administration of employer-employee relations between the City and the ECPOA, establishes wages, hours and other conditions of employment for members of the ECPOA.

The MOU’s Article 5, Section B establishes an educational incentive program. The first two paragraphs of the section are as follows, with emphasis added on the underlined sentence:

The Educational Incentive Program is adopted for the benefit of the EMPLOYEES in recognition of certain specified educational and/or professional achievements. The EMPLOYEES represented may receive the specified additional compensation only under one of the formulas listed below.

In addition to the requirements below, to be eligible for the additional compensation, each EMPLOYEE must be a regular EMPLOYEE of the City with at least twenty-four (24) months of sworn law enforcement experience with the CITY to receive the benefit. For Lateral Officers, must be a regular EMPLOYEE of the City with at least one full year of fulltime experience as a lateral police officer.

This section requires that experienced employees transferring from other agencies are required to wait one full year until they may receive the educational incentives. These incentives range between 2.5% to 13% depending on the level of education and Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) certifications. Many of the recently hired lateral officers possess education and POST certifications. This educational experience adds value to the Police Department and community.

In an effort to remain competitive with other agencies attempting to attract lateral police officers, staff recommends that the City Council consider a resolution approving a side letter agreement between the City and the ECPOA that modifies the second paragraph of the MOU’s Article 5, Section B to the following:

In addition to the requirements below, to be eligible for the additional compensation, each EMPLOYEE must be a regular EMPLOYEE of the City with at least twenty-four (24) months of sworn law enforcement experience with the CITY, or a Lateral Officer, with at least twenty-four (24) months of sworn law enforcement experience with any one or more California law enforcement agency operated by any city (including the CITY), county, or city and county; or by the California Highway Patrol, to receive the benefit.

The side letter would be effective through the existing or eventually extended term of the MOU.

SUBJECT: Introduction of Ordinance addressing the use of Electronic Signatures by the City of El Cajon
RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council moves to INTRODUCE the next ORDINANCE, in order, and directs the City Clerk to read the ORDINANCE by title only.

BACKGROUND:

The City of El Cajon ("City") has invested in and continues to improve citywide business processes. The next step to encourage the use of paperless electronic documents is to create a policy that allows for digital signatures.

The general legal framework for the use of electronic signatures on electronic records has been in place for over two decades. In 1999, the State of California adopted a version of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act ("UETA"), guaranteeing that electronic signatures would have the same legal effect as a "wet" or manual signature. (California Civil Code sections 1633.1-1633.17.) In 2000 Congress passed the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act ("E-SIGN Act") that mandated the same treatment of electronic signatures in interstate or foreign commerce. (15 U.S.C. 7001.)

Prior to adoption of the UETA and E-SIGN Act, the California Legislature passed a statute authorizing public entities to accept digital signatures if they comply with stringent verification procedures established by the Secretary of State. (California Government Code section 16.5.) The Secretary of State adopted such regulations in 1989 approving the use of digital signatures if they could be verified using an acceptable technology. The regulations specified two types of acceptable technology; Public Key Cryptology or Signature Dynamics technologies. (2 California Code of Regulations section 22003.) However, California Government Code section

16.5 and the Secretary of State's regulations do not limit the manner in which the City may use or accept electronic signatures in general.

The use of electronic signatures on legally binding documents has become increasingly prevalent in the private sector and is gaining popularity among public agencies. Some of the benefits of electronic signatures include a reduction in the use of paper and a reduction in the time and costs associated with transmitting, approving, tracking, and ultimately storing physical documents.

The City desires to benefit from the efficiencies of electronic signatures, while using technology approved by the Secretary of State. While the ordinance codifies the City policy on electronic signatures if approved by the City Council, City staff will be able to develop administrative policies and procedures to establish the use of electronic signatures by the City.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There may be costs associated with the selection and implementation of an electronic signature platform.
