Level C protective clothing will be a 60% increase in fees. Converse will not handle samples that require either Level B or Level A protection in our geotechnical laboratories.
Contaminated samples will be returned to the client. Uncontaminated samples will be disposed of 30 days after presentation of test results. The client must disclose the source of samples. Samples imported from out of state will be incinerated after testing in accordance with requirements of the United States Department of Agriculture. Soil samples obtained within the State of California currently designated quarantine areas will also be incinerated in accordance with the requirement of the State of California, Department of Food and Agriculture, Division of Plant Industry, Pest Exclusion. A $5.00 incineration fee will be added to each sample that is required to be incinerated in accordance with State and Federal law.
Test results requiring plots will be presented in a publishable format generated from computer programs. Otherwise, raw test numbers will be presented. A minimum laboratory fee of $50.00 will be charged to present and mail test results. Beyond the standard U.S. Mail delivery, specialized transmittal will be charged at additional cost (e.g., Federal Express, UPS, etc.). Geotechnical testing does not include engineering and/or geologic review and analysis.
Typical turnaround for geotechnical laboratory testing is two weeks (or roughly ten working days). To expedite test turnaround to five working days, a 50% increase in the fees in this schedule will be applied. Many geotechnical tests require at least one week to perform in accordance with ASTM or other standard specifications. Fees presented in this schedule for relatively undisturbed direct shear, consolidation or expansion pressure tests are based on the assumption that 2.416-inch inside diameter brass ring samples will be provided to the geotechnical laboratory for testing. Remolded specimens will be compacted in standard 2.5-inch outside diameter brass rings for direct shear, consolidation and expansion pressure tests. All fees presented in this schedule are based on the assumption that the client will deliver samples to our laboratory at no additional cost to Converse.
Invoices will be issued monthly and are payable on receipt unless otherwise agreed upon. Interest of 1.5% per month (but not exceeding the maximum allowed by law) will be payable on any amount not paid within thirty days; payment thereafter to be applied first to accrued interest and then to the principle unpaid amount. The Client shall pay any attorneys' fees or other costs incurred in collecting any delinquent amounts.

General Conditions –
Right of Entry
Client warrants to Converse that it has full legal right to authorize Converse's entry upon the real property where Converse's services are to be performed ("Site" herein) and upon all property, if any, required for ingress and egress to the Site.
Client authorizes Converse to enter upon the Site and such adjoining property as is necessary to allow Converse to perform its services.
Converse will take reasonable precautions to minimize any damage to the Site; however, Client acknowledges that during the normal course of the performance of Converse's services, some damage to the Site may occur. The correction of any damage to the Site (surface or subterranean) shall be the obligation of the Client.
Information Supplied by Client
Client warrants the accuracy of any information supplied by it to Converse, acknowledges that Converse will not verify the accuracy of such information, and agrees that Converse is entitled to rely upon any such information.
Client shall immediately notify Converse in writing of any data, information or knowledge in the possession of or known to Client relating to conditions existing at the Site and shall provide Converse with the location, size and depth of any and all underground tanks, piping or structures existing upon the Site.
Client shall defend, indemnify and save harmless Converse, its officers, agents and employees from and against any and all claims, costs, suits and damages, including attorneys' fees, arising out of errors, omissions and inaccuracies in documents and information provided to Converse by Client.
Ownership of Data and Documents; Samples
All reports, boring logs, field data, field notes, laboratory test data, calculations, estimates and other documents prepared by Converse shall remain the sole property of Converse.
Client shall have the right to the use of all data, recommendations, proposals, reports, design criteria and similar information provided to it by Converse ("information" herein); provided, however, that the information shall not be used or relied upon by any party other than Client, save and except as may be required by the design and licensing requirements of the project for which the information is provided; further, such use shall be limited to the particular site and project for which the information is provided. To the extent Client utilizes Converse’s information by providing or making the same available to any third party (a) Client agrees to give written notice to any such third party that it may not utilize or rely on any aspect of Converse’s information and (b) Client agrees to defend, indemnify and hold Converse harmless against any and all claims, demands, costs, losses, damages and expenses, including attorneys fees, that may be asserted against or sought from Converse by any such third party.
Client's right to the use of the information is expressly conditioned upon Client's prompt payment to Converse of all sums due under the Client/Converse agreement. In the event of Client's nonpayment or partial payment of said amounts, Client agrees that it shall not use any of the information for any purpose whatsoever and shall return the same to Converse within 2 business days upon demand.
Converse will retain all samples of soil, rock or other materials obtained in the course of performing its services for a period of thirty (30) days. Thereafter, further storage or transfer of samples to Client may be made at Client's expense upon written request from Client to Converse received by Converse prior to the expiration of the 30-day period.
Converse shall retain permanent records relating to the Converse services for a period of five (5) years following submittal of Converse's report, during which period the records will be made available to Client upon reasonable notice given by Client and upon payment to Converse of an amount sufficient to reimburse Converse for its necessary and reasonable expenses in making said records available.
Standard of Care and Professional Responsibility
Client acknowledges that the services to be performed by Converse involve the use of tests, calculations, analyses and procedures which are in a constant state of development, improvement and refinement and that, as such, improvements, changes in methods, and modifications of procedures have been made in the past, are now being made, and are expected to continue to be made in the future.
Further, Client recognizes that, while necessary for investigations, commonly used exploration methods, such as drilling borings or excavating trenches, involve an inherent risk. For example, exploration on a site containing contaminated materials may result in inducing crosscontamination, the prevention of which may not be complete using presently recognized sealing methods.
Client recognizes that the state of practice, including but not limited to the practice relating to contamination or hazardous waste conditions, is changing and evolving and that standards existing at the present time may subsequently change as knowledge increases and the state of the practice continues to improve.
Client recognizes that projects containing contaminated materials may not perform as anticipated by Client, even though Converse's services are performed in accordance with the level of care and skill required of it. Further, certain governmental regulations relating to hazardous waste sites may purport to require achievement of results which cannot be accomplished in an absolute sense. It is recognized that a satisfactorily designed, constructed and maintained monitoring system may assist in the early detection of environmental changes allowing for early correction of problems. Unless it is specifically included in the scope of services to be performed by Converse, Client understands that Converse shall not perform such monitoring.
The services to be provided by Converse pursuant to the agreement to which these General Conditions are a part shall be provided in accordance with generally accepted professional engineering, environmental, and geologic practice in the area where these services are to be rendered and at the time that services are rendered. Client acknowledges that the present standard in the engineering and environmental professions does not include, and Converse does not extend to Client, a guarantee of perfection of the work contemplated hereby; further, that even in the exercise of normal and reasonable care, errors or omissions may from time to time occur. Except as expressly set forth in these General Conditions, no other warranty, express or implied, is extended by Converse.
Converse shall have no duty to supervise, coordinate or otherwise be involved in the performance of services or work by any third-party consultant, contractor or subcontractor.
Where Converse's services involve field observation of grading, filling and compaction (or any of them), it is agreed:
a. That Converse shall in no way be responsible for the manner in which such work is performed by any third party.
b. That in the event Converse is to provide periodic observation, Client acknowledges that Converse cannot be responsible for any work performed at a time or times when Converse was not performing its observation services.
Converse will not provide an opinion concerning the performance of any third party, save and except to the extent that said work was in fact observed and tested by Converse during the course of construction.
c. That where Converse's services include continuous observation, Client agrees not to allow grading, filling or compaction to be performed at any time or times when Converse is not physically present upon the Site and shall restrict the amount and extent of such grading, filling and compaction to that which can be properly observed by Converse personnel present on the Site. d. That in the event Converse is to conduct test borings for Client, Client acknowledges that the accuracy of said test borings relates only to the specific location in which the boring itself was performed and that the nature of many sites is such that differing subsurface soil characteristics can be experienced within a small distance. As such, Client acknowledges that greater accuracy is obtained when the number of test borings is increased.
Technical Limitations
Client acknowledges and agrees that: (1) it is unreasonable to expect Converse to be able to completely evaluate subsurface conditions, even after the most comprehensive exploratory program; (2) site conditions change frequently due to the passage of time, human activities, and climatic conditions and uncertainties are therefore inherent in the nature of Converse’s services and impossible to avoid; (3) the identification of geotechnical and environmental conditions and the prediction of future or concealed conditions is an inexact scientific endeavor; (4) the state of the art of geotechnical and environmental practice is such that Converse cannot guarantee that its recommendations will prove adequate on this project and the Client assumes the risk of any such failure, except as otherwise provided in these General Conditions and that (5) these General Conditions contains specific LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY.
Indemnity of Client and Limitation of Liability
Converse shall indemnify Client, its officers, directors, agents or employees from any claim, demand or liability arising from personal injury or property loss or damage caused by the sole negligence or willful misconduct of Converse.
Anything to the contrary in the agreement to which these General Conditions are attached or in these General Conditions notwithstanding, Converse's liability shall be limited to the lesser of the fees charged to Client by Converse for the services performed for Client, or the sum of fifty thousand dollars. Client may, at its option, increase the maximum amount for which Converse shall be liable by payment of an additional fee.
For the maximum liability sum of one hundred thousand dollars, the additional amount to be paid shall be four percent of the total Converse fee charged hereunder; for the maximum liability sum of one million dollars, the additional amount to be paid shall be five percent of the total Converse fees charged hereunder Client acknowledges and agrees that its recovery, if any, shall be satisfied, in the first instance, from the proceeds of Converse’s insurance, and to the extent of any deficiency in the available insurance proceeds, then and only then, by Converse.
Client acknowledges that Converse has agreed to charge Client a reduced fee for services in exchange for the above limitation of liability and that said reduction in fees is consideration for said limitation.
Client shall defend and save harmless Converse, its officers, directors, agents and employees from all liability, claims and demands, including expenses of suit and reasonable attorneys' fees arising from personal injuries, including disease and death, property loss or damage, injury to others (including personnel of Client, Converse or
Converse Consultants GC99-1
subcontractors performing work hereunder), and air or ground pollution or environmental impairment arising out of or in any manner connected with or related to the performance of Converse's services, except where there is a judicial determination that such injury, loss or damage shall have been caused by the sole negligence or willful misconduct of Converse.
Client acknowledges that Converse has charged Client a reduced fee for services to be performed by it in exchange for this hold harmless and that the reduction in fees is consideration for said hold harmless provision.
Converse will not be liable for consequential damages of any kind, nature or description.
Hazardous Waste, Pollution and Health Hazard Projects ("Hazardous Projects" Herein)
Prior to the commencement of services by Converse on any hazardous project, Client agrees to advise Converse in writing of any known hazardous waste or materials existing on or near the Site or if any of said services are to be performed in an area where dust, fumes, gas, noise, vibrations or other particulate or nonparticulate matter is in the atmosphere where it raises a potential or possible health hazard or nuisance to anyone working within the area.
Anything in these General Conditions notwithstanding, Client shall indemnify and hold Converse, its officers, directors, agents, servants and employees, harmless from any claim, demand or action brought by any party whomsoever, including employees of Converse which claim, demand or action is based upon injury or damage caused or alleged to have been caused by hazardous wastes or hazardous materials whether or not such waste or materials were known to exist prior to the commencement of services.
Client agrees to be responsible for the removal and disposal of any hazardous waste uncovered as a result of the site investigation, including drill cuttings, unless specifically included within the scope of work
It is agreed that the discovery of unanticipated hazardous materials constitutes a changed condition mandating an immediate renegotiation of the scope of services or termination of services. Converse will at all times endeavor to perform in a faithful and trustworthy manner. Client understands that Client or Converse may be required by local and/or state and/or federal statute to report the discovery of hazardous materials to a government agency. Client also understands that Converse may be required by local and/or state and/or federal statute to report the discovery of hazardous materials to a government agency, and that Converse, when practical, will do so only after notifying Client. In the event Converse discovers hazardous material that we believe poses an immediate threat to public health and safety, Converse will use its best judgment to notify appropriate emergency personnel for immediate containment. Client agrees to take no action of any kind against Converse when Converse makes a good-faith effort to fulfill its obligations.
Client's Responsibilities
Client shall immediately provide Converse with full information in writing as to Client's requirements for the services to be provided by Converse and shall designate in writing within five (5) days of the effective date of the agreement to which these General Conditions are a part, a representative to act on Client's behalf in conjunction with the services to be provided hereunder. Client shall promptly review all documents, reports, data and recommendations submitted by Converse and shall communicate with Converse concerning such reviews for the purpose of avoiding delay in the performance of the services to be rendered by Converse.
Client shall notify any third party who may perform on the Site of the standard of care being undertaken by Converse pursuant hereto and of the limitations of liability contained herein.
Client shall require as a condition to the performance of any such third party a like indemnity and limitation of liability on their part against Converse.
Confidentiality
Converse shall hold all information provided to it by Client and the results of the work performed by it confidential and shall not disclose the same to any third party except where required by Governmental regulatory agencies or as otherwise required by law.
Disputes
Converse shall have the right to bring a legal action in a state or federal court against Client for any sums due or alleged to be due to it or for services rendered. Except for this right, Converse and Client agree that as an express condition to the right of either party to bring a legal action against the other, they shall first submit any dispute to mediation by a neutral person acceptable to both parties.
Each party shall bear its own attorneys' fees, costs and other expenses, except that each party shall be responsible and pay for one-half of the costs and expenses of the mediator.
In the event that legal action is required, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover all of its costs incurred in connection therewith including, without limitation, staff time, court costs, attorneys' fees, consultant and expert witness fees and any other related expenses. In this regard, in order to make the prevailing party whole, the parties acknowledge and agree that the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover all of its costs incurred in connection with the legal action and shall not be limited to “reasonable attorneys fees” as defined in any statute or rule of court.
The obligations, responsibilities, warranties and liabilities of the parties shall be solely those expressly set forth herein. Remedies and limitations of liability shall apply regardless of whether an action is brought in contract, or is based on either party’s negligence, or another theory of law. All of the rights, remedies, obligations, terms, conditions and limitations of liability stated herein shall extend collectively to and be binding upon the parties’ partners, joint ventures, licensors, successors, assigns, insurers, and affiliates. Client and Converse agree that any legal action with respect to the services to be performed under these General Conditions shall be brought against the parties, and not against individual officers, employees or former employees of the parties. All legal actions by either party against the other for breach of these General Conditions or for the failure to perform in accordance with the applicable standard of care, however framed, that are essentially based upon such breach or failure shall be barred two (2) years from the time claimant knew or should have known of its right to make a claim, but, in any event, not later than four (4) years from substantial completion of Converse’s services.

This shall not be construed to relieve the Client, its general contractor or any subcontractor of their obligation to maintain a safe jobsite.
Neither the professional activities nor the presence of Converse or its employees and subcontractors shall be understood to control the operations of others, nor shall it be construed to be an acceptance of the responsibility for jobsite safety.
Converse will not direct, supervise or lay out the work of the Client, contractor, or any subcontractors. Converse's services will not include a review or evaluation of the adequacy of the contractor's safety measures on or near the Site.
Schedules
Unless otherwise specified in the agreement, Converse shall be obligated to perform within a reasonable period of time. Converse shall not be responsible for delays in the completion of its services created by reason of any unforeseeable cause or causes beyond the control and/or without the fault or negligence of Converse, including but not restricted to acts of God or the public enemy, acts of the Government of the United States or of the several states, or any foreign country, or any of them acting in their sovereign capacity, acts of other contractors with Client, fire, floods, epidemics, riots, quarantine restrictions, strikes, civil insurrections, freight embargoes, and unusually severe weather.
Should completion of any portion of the services to be rendered by Converse be delayed beyond the estimated date of completion for any reason which is beyond the control of or without default or negligence of Converse, then and in that event Client and Converse shall mutually agree on the terms and conditions upon which the services may be continued or terminated.
Invoices
Converse shall submit monthly progress invoices to Client, and a final bill shall be submitted upon completion of the services. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice, Client shall pay the full amount of the invoice. If Client objects to all or any portion of any invoice, it shall so notify Converse of the same within fifteen (15) days from the date of receipt of said invoice and shall pay that portion of the invoice not in dispute, and the parties shall immediately make every effort to settle the disputed portion of the invoice.
If Client fails to make payment within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice, then Client shall pay an additional monthly service charge of one and one-half percent (1½ %) on all such amounts outstanding. The additional charge shall not apply to any disputed portion of any invoice resolved in favor of Client. In the event Client fails to pay any undisputed amount to Converse when due, Converse may immediately cease work until said payment together with a service charge at the rate of 1½ % per month, as specified above, from the due date has been received.
Further, Converse may, at its sole option and discretion, refuse to perform any further work irrespective of payment from Client.
In the event that all or any portion of the 1½ % service charge provided for herein is deemed to be an interest charge, then and in that event said interest charge shall be limited to the maximum amount legally allowed by law.
Client acknowledges Converse’s fee schedules are revised annually and agrees that the fee schedule in effect at the time the services are performed shall apply to such services.
Insurance
Converse represents that it now carries, and will continue to carry during the term of the contract to which these General Conditions are a part, Workers Compensation insurance and that, if requested, Converse shall provide to Client certificates as evidence of the aforementioned insurance.
Assignments
Client shall not assign this contract or any portion thereof to any other person or entity without the express written consent of Converse. Nothing contained in this contract or any part thereof shall be construed to create a right in any third party whomsoever, and nothing herein shall inure to the benefit of any third party.
Severability
If any provision of these General Conditions is finally determined to be contrary to, prohibited by, or invalid under applicable laws or regulations, such provision will be renegotiated so as to give effect to the intent of the parties to the maximum possible extent. Such determination and renegotiation shall not affect of invalidate the remaining provisions or these General Conditions.
Governing Law

CITY OF FOUNTAIN VALLEY
CITY COUNCIL
COUNCIL ACTION REQUEST
To: Honorable Mayor and Agenda Date: April 7, 2026
Members of the City Council
SUBJECT: Accept the Garland/DBS, Inc. proposal and award a contract in a total not-to-exceed amount of $2,410,107 for Citywide Facility Roofing replacements and repairs on various City facilities.
Three-Year Strategic Goals
☐ Enhance the culture and environment of “A Nice Place to Live” ☐ Achieve fiscal stability by evaluating processes, and attract and retain revenue producing businesses/opportunities
☐ Attract and retain quality staff through best practices and trends ☒ Maintain, build, and modernize infrastructure to support growth and future needs of the City
☐ Not applicable
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City maintains numerous facilities throughout Fountain Valley that are needed to provide services to the community. Due to limited funding, certain building maintenance items have been deferred for an extended period. Presently, several facilities have a critical need for roofing system replacement and repairs. Completing this work is essential to protecting the structural integrity of the buildings, preventing costly water damage, and meeting proper health and safety parameters associated with facility use.
Facilities with significant roofing system replacement and repair needs include:
Fire Station #2
City Yard Facility
Sports Park Recreation Center
Boys and Girls Club Child Development Center (CDC)
Police Facility (Repair)
Fire Station #1 (Repair)
The Adopted Biennial Budget (FY 2025-26 & FY 2026-27) includes sufficient funding for the proposed roof replacement maintenance, which is funded by the General Fund.
Citywide Facilities Roofing Project
April 7, 2026
The City of Fountain Valley Municipal Code allows for several bid exceptions concerning the award of this contract. One of the exceptions specifically allows for bidding to be dispensed when “piggybacking” onto pricing that’s been previously established by another government agency; provided the original solicitation was made in a competitive manner and awarded to the lowest responsible bidder.
The City is a member of OMNIA Partners (OMNIA), a cooperative purchasing organization in public procurement. As a member, the City can benefit from similar or better pricing by piggybacking off an existing OMNIA master agreement, which was competitively bid by another government agency.
Staff recommends awarding the Citywide Facility Roofing contract to Garland/DBS, Inc. (Garland) based upon competitive pricing, high-performance products, quality labor, exceptional level of service, turnkey project delivery, and long-term value. In addition, the Garland Company’s 130+ year history demonstrates strong financial health, longevity, and an ability to honor all potential future warranty claims throughout the 25-to-30-year warranty periods.
DISCUSSION
In summer 2025, the City completed a Facility Condition Assessment (FCA) to identify and document current and forecasted conditions of approximately 228,693 square feet of facilities and 162 acres of parks. Through the FCA, roof-covering systems for 19 City-maintained facilities were evaluated.
Roof systems are one of the most important structural components of a building. They function as the first line of defense against the elements and must be maintained to properly protect the structure. Some key reasons to prioritize roof maintenance include:
Protect Structural Integrity: A compromised roof allows water into the attic, walls, and foundation; potentially leading to structural failure.
Prevent Water Damage: Small leaks can cause major interior damage quickly (stained ceilings, ruined insulation, and other damage); leading to costly repairs. Health & Safety: Leaks can foster mold and mildew growth. Energy Efficiency: A good roof system helps seal the building, control temperature, and reduce energy consumption.
The following bullets provide brief descriptions of the types of roofing systems currently found on City facilities that need roofing replacements.
Asphalt Shingle: Overlapping, composite shingles made from fiberglass or organic material, saturated with asphalt, and coated with protective mineral granules to create a waterproof and aesthetically versatile covering. The system includes various components (underlayment, starter shingles, and ridge caps) that work with the main shingles.
Built-Up Membrane: A Built-Up Roof (BUR) system, often called "tar and gravel," is a multi-layered roofing for flat or low-slope roofs, created by alternating layers of bitumen (like asphalt) with reinforcing felts (ply sheets) and topped with gravel, a mineral cap

sheet, or coating for weather protection and strength. Bitumen is a thick, black, sticky, and highly viscous substance derived from petroleum refining; it’s a raw, sticky binder (glue), while asphalt is the finished mixture of that glue with the aggregates (sand/rocks). Fluid Applied: A seamless, liquid coating system that cures into a waterproof membrane, applied directly to existing roofs, eliminating seams that are common in traditional roofing. This system uses materials like acrylic, silicone, or polyurethane, forming a joint-free, watertight layer that conforms to complex roof shapes. Membrane: A waterproof, flexible, and durable roofing system designed for flat or low-slope commercial and residential roofs to prevent water intrusion. Made from materials like modified bitumen, synthetic rubber (EPDM - Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer), thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO), or polyvinyl chloride (PVC), these systems are installed as large sheets that are glued, fastened, or welded to create a seamless, watertight barrier.
Modified Bitumen: A durable, multi-ply, asphalt-based waterproof membrane for flat or low-slope roofs, created by blending asphalt with rubber or polymers for enhanced flexibility, strength, and water resistance. Typically installed using one of five primary methods: torch-applied (heat-welded), cold-applied adhesive, self-adhering (peel and stick), hot asphalt (mopped), or mechanically attached.
The buildings listed below have been prioritized as facilities needing roof replacements or repairs due to age, performance, and/or present condition of the roofing materials. Additional information concerning the proposed roof systems (type of replacement roofing system, warranty period, etc.) is provided in Attachment 2.
Location Proposed Cost
Fire Station #2 $156,496
City Yard $676,535
Sports Park Recreation Center $987,321
Boys and Girls Club – Child Development Center $555,555 Police Facility (Repair) $22,800
Fire Station #1 (Repair) $11,400
Construction $2,410,107
Contingency (10%) $241,011
Total $2,651,118
In lieu of roof replacements for all the locations, two (2) facilities are recommended for repairs.
Even though the roof maintenance has been deferred for an extended period, these two (2) facilities presently have repair as an option. Fire Station #1 has been identified for relocation and replacement with a new fire station structure. Therefore, until the new structure is built, repairing the roof is the preferred approach. The second location is the Police Facility. The anticipated cost to replace the Police Facility roof system is around $1,900,000. This cost is significantly higher than that of other City facilities due to the need to remove and replace rooftop solar panels.
Near-Term Future Work
Citywide Facilities Roofing Project
April 7, 2026
To best protect the structural integrity of the Police Facility, staff recommend that approximately $1,900,000 in future budget funding be programmed to replace the roofing system over the next 2 to 3 years. In addition, the Boys and Girls Club ClubHouse Academy facility needs a roof replacement. However, investing in this building’s roof replacement is presently on hold per City Council direction, pending forthcoming discussions by an ad hoc committee concerning the long-term use of the two (2) Boys and Girls Club facilities. Both facilities are located adjacent to City Hall. A recent proposal estimated the roof replacement cost to be approximately $450,000. The amount to program for the near-term future replacement of the ClubHouse Academy roof should be around $500,000 (which includes a 10% contingency).
Future Locations Proposed Cost
Police Facility $1,678,912
Boys and Girls Club – ClubHouse Academy $448,854
Construction $2,127,766
Contingency (10%) $212,777
Total $2,340,543
Additional Rooftop Maintenance Needs
Staff intends to maximize the use of the available biennial Citywide Facilities Roofing budget funding to address as many City facility roofing maintenance needs as possible. In alignment with that, staff anticipates presenting a City Hall rooftop ductwork replacement project within the next few months to the City Council. This project will remedy an ongoing water intrusion issue that’s the result of leaking rooftop ductwork, which is part of the City Hall HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) system.
Timeframe
Construction activities are anticipated to start in June 2026 and be completed by June 2027.
Work may be scheduled on weekends and/or during evenings at several locations to ensure safety during certain construction phases and to minimize impact on business operations.
PROCUREMENT
Cooperative purchasing agreements, often called "piggybacking", meet public contract code by leveraging competitively solicited, publicly awarded contracts from a lead agency, eliminating the need for each entity to run its own, lengthy solicitation process. These contracts comply with procurement laws by ensuring the initial bid was formal, transparent, and awarded to the most responsible bidder.
The City of Fountain Valley Municipal Code allows for several bid exceptions. It specifically states in §2.36.070 (a)(5) that bidding may be dispensed when “piggybacking” off previously established pricing by another government agency, provided the original solicitation was made in a competitive manner and awarded to the lowest responsible bidder.
Citywide Facilities Roofing Project
April 7, 2026
OMNIA Partners Cooperative Contract
OMNIA Partners (OMNIA) is a cooperative purchasing organization in public procurement. The City has been a member of OMNIA since 2005. As a member, the City can piggyback off their competitively bid public contracts to benefit from similar or better pricing.
Garland/DBS, Inc.
In January 2026, the Public Works Field Services Division launched a Citywide Facilities Roofing bid preparation effort through Garland and the OMNIA Cooperative Contract (Cooperative Contract) program. The proposals are provided according to the pricing established under the Master Intergovernmental Cooperative Purchasing Agreement (MICPA) with Racine County, WI and OMNIA Partners, Public Sector (U.S. Communities). The line-item pricing breakdowns should be viewed as the maximum price an agency will be charged under the agreement. To obtain the lowest price, Garland administered a competitive process to obtain site specific pricing proposals from their network of preferred local roofing contractors for the Citywide Facility Roofing replacement project.
Benefits of using the Cooperative Contract procurement process method and Garland include:
Cost Savings: Through use of cooperative contracts, public agencies can save up to 15% on material markups and eliminate soft costs (architect, engineer, legal, and administrative fees) which can increase cost to over 20% of the total project budget. High-Quality Manufacturing and Quality Control: Garland is a full-service manufacturer that produces 95% of its products, ensuring strict quality control, superior performance, and reliable warranties. They utilize a network of pre-qualified local contractors to perform the labor, ensuring expertise and supporting the local economy. Specialized Expertise: The company has extensive experience with complex public sector projects.
Turnkey Project Delivery: Garland delivers comprehensive and customized solutions with expert pre-qualified contractors. They also provide a single point of accountability for the entire project, from initial roof assessment and design assistance to installation and long-term warranty protection.
Asset Management: Agencies gain access to the Dry Zone® online database, which tracks roof conditions, maintenance history, and warranty data to help prioritize budgets and extend the lifespan of facilities.
Employee Ownership: As a 100% employee-owned organization, Garland’s representatives are personally vested in the long-term performance and success of the company and every project.
Garland is a company that has been active for over 130 years with significant financial strength and technical resources. Key indicators of their fiscal health include:
No Bankruptcy History: Neither Garland nor its parent companies have ever filed for bankruptcy or insolvency.
Strong Credit Standing: Garland has never defaulted on any loan or financing agreements.
Citywide Facilities Roofing Project
April 7, 2026
Performance Bonding: Garland typically provides Performance and Payment bonds for large-scale projects, demonstrating their ability to secure high-level financial guarantees.
Cooperative Procurement Leadership: They are a primary roofing supplier for major cooperative purchasing programs like OMNIA Partners, which requires rigorous financial vetting of vendors.
Garland’s strong financial health and longevity provide confidence that they can honor long warranty periods and that they will address any potential waterproofing, materials, and workmanship claims throughout those extended periods.
Construction Inspection Services
Project oversight during construction activities is critical to the successful completion of a project. Therefore, to complement staff’s project oversight during construction, City staff solicited and received proposals from three (3) different specialized inspection services firms that are on the City’s On-Call consultant list; the proposal costs varied from $182,000 to $267,000.
However, due to the elements inherent in roof repair and replacement work, consideration was made for Garland’s turnkey project delivery, which includes project oversight and inspection services as part of their scope. This is accomplished through their subsidiary company, DesignBuild Solutions, Inc. (DBS), who act as the general contractor to provide total project delivery through a single point of contact. This business model enables Garland to guarantee that all facets of the project are completed according to their installation standards, ensuring the best results and minimizing potential future performance issues due to poor or improper installation.
Some of the services provided through DBS include:
Comprehensive visual inspection and survey of building envelope systems. Analytical testing of existing roof systems, including core analysis and on-site field testing.
Assistance in preparing construction documents, including comprehensive design of roof and wall assemblies, custom details, and specifications. Bidding out proposed work to pre-approved Garland authorized contractors. Full project management services to facilitate project budgeting, scheduling, and logistics.
Assurance of compliance with building code requirements. On-site representatives (3-5 days per week) for quality assurance and contractor direction, making certain the installation is completed properly. Discrepancies, field conditions, and requests for additional information will be handled and resolved. Contractor requests for payment will be reviewed and evaluated to ensure the amount billed matches the percentage complete. Certified payrolls will be acquired and evaluated for reasonableness to verify labor charges. Lien waivers will be obtained, reviewed, and compared to the pay requests. DBS will approve the pay request and pay the contractor within 30-45 days, when appropriate. If there’s outstanding issues involving payment, a fair and reasonable portion of payment will be made in an acceptable time frame. The remainder will be paid when the issues have been resolved.
Citywide Facilities Roofing Project
April 7, 2026
Upon notification that the work has been completed, a punch list will be prepared, noting all items that have not been fully completed or require rework. Once the punch list items have been completed, there will be a final visit to the project and closeout documentation provided, including labor and manufacturer’s warranties issued to the City.
After evaluating work scope and proposals from Garland and the On-Call consultants, the staff recommends using Garland’s turnkey project delivery to achieve the best long-term value and comprehensive warranty. DBS services are approximately $175,000 and are included within the proposed cost.
FISCAL REVIEW
The current adopted FY 2025-27 budget includes sufficient funding for the project.
FY 2025-2027 Project Budget for Citywide Facilities Roofing (General Fund) FY 25/26 Capital Improvement Fund 300, Project #26004 $2,275,000 FY 26/27 Capital Improvement Fund 300, Project #26004 $1,661,000 Total $3,936,000
Project Cost for Citywide Facilities Roofing
Roof Materials and Replacement/Repair Services $2,410,107 Construction Contingency (10%) $241,011
Total Project Cost $2,651,118
*Purchase Orders to be issued administratively
Note that, as in all the City’s Public Works contracts, the contract itself provides the Director of Public Works authority to issue change orders of up to 10% of the original contract amount.
When the Council approves the contract, it approves this authority. Ten percent is generally considered within the normal range of changed conditions on a Public Works construction project and, by providing change order authority upfront, Council helps to reduce the possibility of delay damages that could be incurred when a contractor must stop work and wait for authorization to proceed.
PUBLIC NOTIFICATION
Not applicable.

PART 3 EXECUTION
3.1 EXAMINATION
A. Do not begin installation until substrates have been properly prepared.
B. Inspect and approve the deck condition, slopes and fastener backing if applicable, parapet walls, expansion joints, roof drains, stack vents, vent outlets, nailers and surfaces and elements.
C. Verify that work penetrating the roof deck, or which may otherwise affect the roofing, has been properly completed.
D. If substrate preparation and other conditions are the responsibility of another installer, notify Architect of unsatisfactory preparation before proceeding.
3.2 PREPARATION
A. General: Clean surfaces thoroughly prior to installation.
1. Prepare surfaces using the methods recommended by the manufacturer for achieving the best result for the substrate under the project conditions.
2. Fill substrate surface voids that are greater than 1/4 inch wide with an acceptable fill material.
3. Roof surface to receive roofing system shall be smooth, clean, free from loose gravel, dirt and debris, dry and structurally sound.
4. Wherever necessary, all surfaces to receive roofing materials shall be power broom and vacuumed to remove debris and loose matter prior to starting work.
5. Do not apply roofing during inclement weather. Do not apply roofing membrane to damp, frozen, dirty, or dusty surfaces.
6. Fasteners and plates for fastening components mechanically to the substrate shall provide a minimum pull-out capacity of 300 lbs. (136 k) per fastener. Base or ply sheets attached with cap nails require a minimum pullout capacity of 40 lb. per nail.
7. Prime decks where required, in accordance with requirements and recommendations of the primer and deck manufacturer.
3.3 INSTALLATION - GENERAL
A. Install modified bitumen membranes and flashings in accordance with manufacturer's instructions and with the recommendations provided by the National Roofing Contractors
07554-7
Association's Roofing & Waterproofing Manual, the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association, and applicable codes.
B. General: Avoid installation of modified bitumen membranes at temperatures lower than 40- 45 degrees F. When work at such temperatures unavoidable use the following precautions:
1. Take extra care during cold weather installation and when ambient temperatures are affected by wind or humidity, to ensure adequate bonding is achieved between the surfaces to be joined. Use extra care at material seam welds and where adhesion of the applied product to the appropriately prepared substrate as the substrate can be affected by such temperature constraints as well.
2. Unrolling of cold materials, under low ambient conditions must be avoided to prevent the likelihood of unnecessary stress cracking. Rolls must be at least 40 degrees F at the time of application. If the membrane roll becomes stiff or difficult to install, it must be replaced with roll from a heated storage area.
C. Commence installation of the roofing system at the lowest point of the roof (or roof area), working up the slope toward the highest point. Lap sheets shingle fashion so as to constantly shed water
D. All slopes greater than 2:12 require back-nailing to prevent slippage of the ply sheets. Use ring or spiral-shank 1 inch cap nails, or screws and plates at a rate of 1 fastener per ply (including the membrane) at each insulation stop. Place insulation stops at 16 ft o.c. for slopes less than 3:12 and 4 feet o.c. for slopes greater than 3:12. On non-insulated systems, nail each ply directly into the deck at the rate specified above. When slope exceeds 2:12, install all plies parallel to the slope (strapping) to facilitate backnailing. Install 4 additional fasteners at the upper edge of the membrane when strapping the plies.
3.4 INSTALLATION COLD APPLIED ROOF SYSTEM

2. Start HPR SA FR Base Sheet application at the low point of the roof with appropriate roll width to offset side laps 18”(457mm) from side laps of base sheet.
Install flush to roof edge if over base sheet, otherwise turn the HPR SA FR Base Sheet over the fascia minimum 2”(50mm) and nail 9” (230mm)o.c. Perimeter flashing details you must extend the HPR SA FR Base Sheet up a minimum of 8”(203mm). Design layout so that no side laps are against the flow of water.
3. Fold the membrane back halfway lengthwise to remove the split release film.
Press membrane securely into place, and repeat with the opposite half of the membrane. Use a heavy, weighted roller over the entire surface of the HPR SA FR Base Sheet membrane to secure the membrane. Work outwards to eliminate voids. When working with full rolls on large roofs, you can leave the membrane in position and remove the split release film from underneath the membrane. (This technique requires two workers to prevent shifting.) Note: On smaller roofs, cut rolls into manageable lengths.
4. Overlap side laps of subsequent HPR SA FR Base Sheet membrane lengths 4”(100mm) and end laps 8”(203mm). Offset (stagger) end laps minimum 3 feet (0.9m). Cut end laps at opposing diagonal corners at a 45° angle approx. 3”(76mm) from the corners to minimize “T”- seams. Apply a bead or small trowel dab (quarter size) of Flashing Bond or Garla-Flex at the edge of the angled cut to avoid a capillary.

Dear Mr. Smith,
Thank you for considering The Garland Company for your upcoming roof replacement. The Garland Company has been in business since 1895; and we will officially break $2B in total revenue across all subsidiaries, with one third of this revenue in roofing materials alone. In 2025, Southern California managed $270M in total roofing project contracts with government agencies, and I, along with my team, was personally responsible for $32M of these projects.
The size and scope of your proposed roofing project is in line with what The Garland Company and I typically perform and manage daily. It should be stated that your project is being presented as a turn-key project, where I have competitively bid this project with an open book to multiple roofing contractors.
With regards to the quality of our product, The Garland Company is proud to share that we spend less than 0.01% of our revenue on warranty claims. We attribute this to our process, management expertise, detailed project oversite and superior products. I personally have a 26- year career with The Garland company, and I am proud to state that all of my customers are repeat clients, in addition, there are no city clients I have not worked with repeatedly; this is a fact that I am very proud to have earned.

To Whom It May Concern:
I am the Deputy Director of Public Works Operations for the City of Tustin, and I am pleased to provide this letter of recommendation for The Garland Company.
Throughout my tenure with the City of Tustin, and previously at another public agency, I have had extensive experience of specifying and working with Garland roofing systems.
For over 26 years, I have witnessed firsthand the superior quality of Garland’s products and the exceptional level of service they provide.
The strength and durability of Garland’s roofing membranes are outstanding. These roofs are solid, thick, and built to withstand the abuse that often occurs during routine maintenance and construction activities. On numerous occasions, their membranes have prevented accidental penetrations by third-party contractors and City staff, avoiding what could have resulted in costly leaks and repairs. Simply put, these roofs stand the test of time.
Garland’s 30-year warranty further distinguishes them from other manufacturers. While most roofing systems carry warranties of only 10 to 20 years, Garland not only offers a longer warranty but consistently stands behind it. Steve Lampman, Garland’s representative, has continued to inspect our roofs regularly to ensure they receive the attention necessary to maximize their lifespan. In the rare instance that a leak does occur, Garland addresses the issue at no cost to the City; typically, within 24 hours.
The Garland Company’s level of service should be considered a benchmark not only for roofing manufacturers, but for other industries as well. They are involved early in the project and remain engaged long after installation is complete. Their attention to detail minimizes leaks, eliminates unnecessary change orders, and protects the City’s investment as diligently as they protect their own. As a result, the City of Tustin is the ultimate beneficiary.
In today’s competitive bid market, it is always possible to find a cheaper roofing option.
However, when evaluating the long-term value of a 30-year roof compared to a 10- or 20-year system, and factoring in Garland’s proven performance and commitment to Attachment #5
service, the City realizes significant savings over the life of the roof. Paying slightly more upfront for a stronger, longer-lasting product and a company that takes responsibility for its work is a sound investment for any public agency.
I sincerely offer my highest recommendation for The Garland Company. They have consistently delivered an outstanding product and exceptional service, and I would not hesitate to continue specifying their systems for City projects.
If you have any questions or would like additional information, please feel free to contact me directly at (714) 573-3355.

The City of Huntington Beach has used The Garland Company consistently for our roofing projects for over 26 years. We also have one roof that was installed in 1991 that is currently in service with no leaks and is holding up well still even after 35 years. The Garland Company provides the city with the confidence that our roofing is being handled correctly and thoughtfully.
The service that we receive from a full-service, high-performance manufacturer is an incredible value to our city.
Steve Lampman and The Garland Company have proven to be the best at what they do. They provide high strength roofs that stand the test of time and they stand behind what they do. The strength and durability of their membranes due to the higher tensile and tear strengths of their roofing systems and the service that The Garland Company provides is what makes these roofs hold up to the constant abuse by other trade contractors.
The Garland Company, through Steve Lampman, has provided us with excellent customer service that is nonexistent with cheaper, commodity style, short life cycle roofing systems and even other high performance roofing manufacturers. If warranty items do come up; The Garland Company is there by our side taking care of it without question. Steve is a great example of old fashion service and hard work that is absent from other manufacturers in the marketplace today. We have learned through many years that having The Garland Company and Steve Lampman involved with our roofing projects is the best way to guarantee a successful project and a long-term product.

To Whom It May Concern,
I am pleased to write this letter of recommendation for Steve Lampman, our representative for The Garland Company, who has served as the City of Laguna Beach’s roofing manufacturer for over 15 years. During this time, I have had the opportunity to work closely with Steve and his team on multiple roofing projects, and their performance has consistently exceeded expectations.
Steve Lampman and The Garland Company team demonstrate exceptional technical expertise in managing large-scale roofing projects, including roof inspections, damage assessments, repair planning, and long-term maintenance strategies. Their ability to accurately diagnose issues and recommend cost-eKective, durable solutions has saved the City significant time and expense over the years.
What sets The Garland Company apart is their integrity and commitment to quality. They are transparent in their evaluations, realistic in establishing project timelines, and meticulous in ensuring that work is completed to the highest standards. Their communication is clear and consistent, their documentation thorough, and they remain accessible and responsive throughout every phase of a project.
Throughout our professional relationship, every project under Steve’s guidance has been completed eKiciently, safely, and with excellent results. I would not hesitate to recommend Steve Lampman and The Garland Company to any individual or organization seeking a knowledgeable, dependable, and highly skilled roofing partner.
Please feel free to contact me should you require any additional information.
Sincerely,
Wayne Chintala
