COUNCIL ACTION REQUIRED:
Staff Recommendations:
Award Construction Contract
Declare CEQA Exemption
RECOMMENDATION AND STAFF SUMMARY:
Staff respectfully recommends that City Council award the construction contract for the Police Station Sewer Pump Replacement Project, JN 511, to OC Pump Company, Anaheim, CA in the amount of $80,243.82 and declare this project to be categorically exempt under the CEQA, Class I, Section 15301 (d), as rehabilitation of existing facilities.
The project bids were solicited per the California Uniform Construction Cost Accounting (CUCCA) procedures and the City Resolution 6059, which projects up to $200,000 to be contracted by utilizing the prequalification list. The bids below were received by January 28, 2022, and OC Pump Company submitted the lowest responsive bid:
1 .
OC Pump Company $ 80,243.82
2 .
PumpMan SoCal $ 122,849.00
3 .
Jimni Systems $ 131,934.39
4 .
MMC Inc. $ 147,410.00
OC Pump Company is a state licensed specialty contractor established in 1948 with verified pump installation experience and is currently in the City's Informal Bidding Contractors list.
Their qualifications, participation in the mandatory job walk and understanding of the project make them ideally suited to remove and replace the Police Station's sewer pump system.
The current condition of the sewer pump system is considered poor at its best. One of the two pumps is no longer operational, which leaves the system without backup capability should the remaining pump fail. The remaining pump has developed cracking in the piping and is leaking and causing a foul order. The pump is also prone to clogging due to the age and condition of the overall system. As a result of the systems current condition, Public Works has targeted replacement of the pumps as a priority, and forecasted the replacement of the system in the month of April 2022 due to the availability and long lead time for delivery of the replacement pumps.

Unless within five (5) working days after the service of such notice such condition or violation shall cease or satisfactory arrangements for the correction thereof be made, this Contract shall upon the expiration of said five (5) working days, cease and terminate. In such case, Contractor shall not be entitled to receive any further payment until the Work is finished.
In event of any such termination, City shall immediately serve written notice thereof upon surety and Contractor, and surety shall have the right to take over and perform this Contract, provided, however, that if surety within five (5) working days after service upon it of said notice of termination does not give City written notice of its intention to take over and perform this Contract or does not commence performance thereof within ten (10) working days from the date of serving such notice, City may take over the Project and prosecute the same to completion by contract or by any other method it may deem advisable for the account and at the expense of Contractor, and Contractor and its surety shall be jointly and severally liable to City for any excess cost or other damages occasioned City thereby. If City takes over the Project as herein above provided, City may, without liability for so doing, take possession of, and utilize in completing the Project, such materials, appliances, plant, and other property belonging to Contractor as may be on the site of the Project and necessary therefor.
In the event of any such termination, Contractor will be paid for Work performed, less damages caused to City by the acts of Contractor causing the termination.

City of Gardena
Gardena City Council Meeting
AGENDA REPORT SUMMARY
Agenda Item No. 15.D
Section: DEPARTMENTAL
ITEMS - PUBLIC WORKS
Meeting Date: February 8, 2022
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE GARDENA CITY COUNCIL AGENDA TITLE:
Gardena Public Geographic Information System (GIS) Viewer COUNCIL ACTION REQUIRED:
Staff Recommendation: Receive and File
RECOMMENDATION AND STAFF SUMMARY:
In June 2021, the Public Works Department began working to develop a Geographic Information System for the City of Gardena. A Geographic Information System, or GIS, is a computer-based mapping and information system. GIS enables a City to link information about places, events and facilities to their correct location on a map, thereby providing a easy access to the graphical and tabular information.
Smaller cities like Gardena are best served utilizing an outside vendor to host the GIS data and to provide a browser for staff and the public to access the data. Staff requested proposals from various GIS vendors and found Nobel Systems to be the best qualified, and at a very reasonable cost of $20,000 a year. Public Works Director Allan Rigg had previously worked with Nobel and had found them to be excellent in providing similar services.
Over the past six months, Nobel has worked to accumulate and host data the city has generated in the Community Development Department, including Land Use, Zoning and General Plan data. Nobel has also added links to data provided by outside agencies such as the Assessor's Office, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works, FEMA, and the Census Bureau. It is planned that additional data will be added to the system, including development projects, city sewers, traffic counts, and trash pickup day of the week. Even more data can be developed by the city or an outside vendor, and Nobel will add it to the system.
Nobel System has provided for the use by city staff of one version of a browser for this data that has robust capabilities for analysis of the data. A simplified version of this browser for the public is now ready to make available to the public without the analysis tools. The Gardena Public GIS viewer is a simple website that needs no username or password. Our plan is to link it to our website for the public to use.
