Reports show that U.S. consumers agree that small businesses contribute positively by supplying jobs and generating tax revenue, and consumers also agree that small businesses are critical to the overall economic health of the United States.
The City of Gardena acknowledges that our local businesses create jobs, boost our local economy, and preserve our neighborhoods. Small Business Saturday has become an important part of small businesses’ busiest shopping season of the year.
There are advocacy groups , public and private organizations across the country, who annually endorse the Saturday after Thanksgiving Day as “Small Business Saturday.”
In support of this annual observance, the City of Gardena is hereby pleased to proclaim Saturday, November 30, 2024, as

22. COUNCIL REMARKS
1) MAYOR PRO TEM TANAKA - Since the last meeting, he attended the Mark Thompson retirement celebration, congratulations on your 30- plus years of service to our Police Department. He attended the Police Department's fentanyl education presentation.
Officer Marisol and the narcotics team did a great job presenting to our public; C hannel 7 was there. He attended the COG’s Transportation meeting and the COG’s Steering Committee meeting on the same day to talk about the Inglewood transit budget. He attended the League of California Cities annual conference; this yearly conference is always a great time to meet with fellow Mayors and Council members and others from the State. He fulfilled his Ethics and Sexual Harassment training requirements. During
5 the conference, he attended the LA Division luncheon, the opening G eneral Session with keynote speaker, Celeste Headlee, on “How to have Conversations that Matter” was a great topic; he attended the Jones and Mayer’s dinner reception at the Reef, thank you very much to them for that. He visited the Expo venue where they had all kinds of vendors displaying their items, from handicapped playground equipment, attorneys, law firms, to porta potties. He attended the General Session with speaker Dr. Christopher Thornberg who spoke on the financial economic outlook for California and the nation; that was an eye-opener. He attended the Mayor's and Council Members' business meetings. There was a class that was called City Successes and Responding to Homelessness, it was a nice presentation, and it highlighted the City of Torrance, Redondo, and Santa Monica, and how they're attacking their homeless issues. The resolution that we voted on was voted favorably on the last day however, there was no quorum, they wer e 10 members short, but they voted anyways, and the recommendation was referred back to the board for approval so, that went back to them. The Closing Session was really an entertaining moment with the keynote speaker, her name is Captain Sandy Yawn, and s he's on the program Below Deck; her message was pretty good, it's called “How to be Calm in the Storm.” He attended the COG’s study session regarding the Inglewood transit connector project again, which is coming up this Thursday. He attended Matt Hassoldt's promotion to Lieutenant congratulations to him, he's worked really hard to get to where he's at.
2) C OUNCIL MEMBER LOVE – Since the last council meeting, she has attended the League of California Cities annual conference she won't go into all of the details, of all the classes, the training, sessions, and exhibit halls. She attended the full three- day conference, and she was able to talk to a lot of good vendors out there, there are a few of them that she has reached out to City Department H eads to talk about and hopefully implement some of the things at the City. She also attended Assemblymember Muratsuchi’s town hall where the development projects that are coming up on Crenshaw were a huge topic; there were a lot of good discussions.
3) C OUNCIL MEMBER FRANCIS – Since our last meeting, she attended the Dylan Andrews basketball clinic, a Halloween craft night for the therapeutic recreation program.
She also attended a Beautification Commission meeting, the Home of the Month photo op and Harvest Festival. She just wants to say t hank you to Senator Bradford for the number of years he served as our Council Member, Assembly Member, and State Senator. She just wants to mention that he mentioned $400 million, but she remembers at least $10 million that he’s brought to the City of Gardena just recently. She also wants to say congratulations to the first graduating class of the Leadership Academy, you're all community leaders now, so people can come to you looking for direction, which you can provide them, and is part of your job now as a result of your training. She said congratulations to Public Works for your award which was excellent. Also, there's an election coming up on November 5
th; many have said it's the most consequential election of our history and the history of the United States and perhaps that's true, but she believes that every election is important ; and it's very important that we vote no matter who you decide to vote for, the young people, the City of Gardena has provided 2 polling places where they're voting centers now ; when she first began voting they were called polling places. There are two places you can go vote, one is at Rowley Park , you can also drop off your ballot in the ballot drop-off box, and she personally likes going in person to vote, but it's very important if you don't do anything else on November 5 th make sure
you vote. Make sure that you take somebody with you, take our young people with you,
6 if you have young folks at home, grandkids take them because people don't just grow up getting involved, it starts at a young age and because of the adults in their lives to help them become involved so make sure you vote November 5th. You can start voting the week of, there's another voting center at Rush Gymnasium and it's starting Saturday, October 26th to November 4th from 10 am to 7 pm, then of course on Election Day and again if you don't want to vote in person you can always drop your ballot off in one of the ballot boxes so if you don't do anything else on November 5th make sure you vote, take somebody with you there's a lot of people that went through a lot just to make sure women and also other folks have the opportunity to vote.
4) MAYOR CERDA – Since the last council meeting, she attended the Carson Gardena Dominguez Rotary Club, and a lot of good stuff coming out of there as they get ready for Operation Gobble. We will continue working with them to make it happen because it's been successful every year that they've been doing it, so we want to see that continue moving forward. She also attended the retirement ceremony for Lieutenant Mark Thompson, retiring after 30 years. She also attended the third anniversary of one of our businesses, The Toss Up, which is a salad restaurant she loves telling everybody when we first opened that up it's like our first healthy restaurant that opened up and they had been doing fabulous from the day they open until now, so she is really excited that they're still going strong. She also attended a portion of the Fentanyl Education series that was going on. She attended the installation of Officers for the Gardena Valley Lions Club at El Pollo Inka. She also attended the Curry brand T ough Crowd Youth Basketball Clinic, Dylan Andrews is such a nice young man, just the way he likes to give back, and she was just so impressed with Under Armour, they gave out all this free stuff for the kids there were T -shirts, shorts, tennis shoes and it was a ton of tennis shoes, kids were getting more than one pair of tennis shoes and these weren't cheap shoes they were really nice. It wasn't just the basketball clinic for the youth, but it was also for the coaches and teaching them the proper way to motivate young people on and being good coaches.
She also attended the CCGA meeting that's the one where we deal with the card rooms.
She also attended the Jones and Mayer dinner that was held during the League of Cities Conference; she only had the opportunity to attend 2 days of that because she had meetings, and she was working, but a lot of good information came out of that conference. She won't repeat everything that Mayor Pro Tem mentioned because we went to some of the same sessions together , but what she is most impressed with was Code Enforcement because she is really big on Code Enforcement , and just hearing some new terms and different things that they were discussing there and she was happy to know that a lot of our staff were there as well , so it's not like we have to come back and report and tell them they were right there to hear it themselves and so we can kind of research some things and go a little bit further with but again a lot of great things for new Council Members and Veteran Council Members like me to learn because as much as we all think we know , things are constantly changing and we could always all learn something new, so it was really good. While she was at the Conference, she attended a City Selection meeting and believe it or not this is the third time we've tried to have our City Selection meeting, but we were two cities short of making quorum so we're going to have to try to meet a fourth time. She attended the Peruvian Inka Lions Potluck that was held at Arthur Johnson Park where they had not only a potluck, but a costume party and they went on and on about how great our staff was and just helping them get the park and just how nice our park was and they just had a wonderful time so she was happy to be able to spend the day with them. Then this past Sunday she brought greetings to a
7 church that was actually outside of Gardena Morningstar Missionary Church from the City of Gardena as they celebrated their Woman's Day event at church. Then later on that day, herself along with Gardena PD and LA County Fire Department , did what she always likes to call our City drive by and we celebrated the birthday of one of our residents who turned 90 years old; she was so happy when you came down the streets with light’s and siren’s, all residents came out because they're wondering what's going on; Sunday was her actual birthday, and she was just in tears and she was just thankful.
If you follow me on social media you can watch the whole video as it happened that was great to attend and she just wanted to thank everybody for being out there and our first responders, who came over and gave her a hug, gave her a couple of gifts, and pose d for a picture so she was just happy for days. The last thing she attended was the promotion ceremony for now Lieutenant Matt Hassoldt and so another exciting day one of our long-time Gardena employees had the opportunity to promote up.
5) C OUNCIL MEMBER HENDERSON – Since the last meeting, he has attended the League of California Cities which was a wonderful learning opportunity in the City of Long Beach, it was good to see a lot of our staff there and a lot of colleagues around the State.
He got a lot of great notes from that conference. Then he had to leave that conference and go to our South Bay Cities Council of Governments South Bay Fiber Network meeting ,and kind of met also with the CPUC in regards to broadband in our community where he discovered that we got approximately 4000 homes that are either not being served or underserved with broadband, so we got some work to do there and he thinks we'll be able to get something positive out of that with our South Bay Fiber Network and our South Bay Council of Governments all 16 Cities, so stay tuned on that. He attended his ICA Board Meeting as we prepared for his installation as the president a second time on November 14th. So, Madam Mayor I am inviting you to give words and everything.
That's a great opportunity to talk about the Independent Cities Association and our mission of making sure our municipalities 40 cities in the LA C ounty work on issues related to technology, public safety, and just things to improve your community. He also attended the LA Harbor College Foundation dinner, which was a great opportunity to see the president of that Board, my lovely wife, Michelle Henderson, give remarks and talk about the importance of education. He attended the Assembly District 66 town hall we had here at the Nakaoka Community Center hosted by Assemblymember, Al Muratsuchi, that was a spirited meeting with a lot of community members as well as neighboring community members. He also attended the Gardena Carson YMCA fundraising event which was actually a very good event, and he learned a lot about our partnerships with the Gardena Carson YMCA, they want to say thank you to our Council and you Madam Mayor for the continued support. He was kind of in every place everybody else was for the most part, so he won't belabor the p oint.

Positions in this classification occasionally bend, stoop, kneel, reach, push, and pull drawers open and closed to retrieve and file information.

COUNCIL ACTION REQUIRED:
Staff Recommendation:
Award Construction Contract
Declare CEQA Exemption Under Section 15301

Approve Project Contingency
RECOMMENDATION AND STAFF SUMMARY:
The City Council approved the Authorization for Crossing Improvement Agreements with Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) for Western Avenue on March 24, 2024, and for Normandie Avenue on April 9, 2024. During the rehabilitation work, both crossings will be closed to vehicular traffic for a 55-hour windows on separate weekends. Each closure will begin at 10:00 p.m. on a Friday and reopen by 5:00 a.m. the following Monday. Work that does not require full closure of the crossings will be performed during regular weekday working hours (7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.).
Immediately after UPRR replaces and upgrades the railroad tracks, this project will pave adjacent sections of the asphalt to make a smooth transition from the roadway to the steel/concrete tracks. Striping, signages and traffic loop detectors will be restored after paving.
The City’s contractor will develop and implement a traffic detour plan that will be in place during the closure. A 5-foot-wide section of asphalt adjacent to the tracks will be reconstructed, and a 20 to 40-foot section will be cold-milled and repaved to achieve a smooth transition between the roadway and the new steel/concrete railroad tracks.
On October 2, 2024, Public Works finalized the plans and specifications and published a bid request in CR PlanWell, Gardena Valley News and the City website. The following two bids were received on October 23, 2024:
1. Cali State Paving, Inc., Riverside
$240,220.00
2. Ruiz Concrete and Paving, Inc., Long Beach
$280,635.00
Cali State Paving, Inc. (CSPI) was the lowest responsive bidder and is licensed in California.
They have been in business for the past 16 years and maintain verified records of construction projects with other local municipalities and utility companies in Southern California. CSPI will be required to meet all bonding requirements and financial standards. UPRR has indicated that they will begin construction between December 2024 and February 2025, with the city's paving work scheduled to follow shortly afterward.

contract.
1-7 AWARD AND EXECUTION OF THE CONTRACT.
1-7.1 General. The proposal shall be fully executed and submitted on the forms provided by the Agency and shall be enclosed in a sealed envelope marked and addressed as directed in the “Notice Inviting Bids”.
If the proposal is made by an individual, it shall be signed and his or her full name and address shall be given; if it is made by a firm it shall be signed with co- partnership name by a general partner thereof, who shall also sign his or her known name, and the name and address of each member of such co -partnership shall be given; if made by a corporation, the name of the corporation shall be signed by its duly authorized officers and attested by the corporate seal.
Bidders are warned against making erasures or alterations of any kind on their Proposal.
Proposals which contain omissions, erasures, alterations, conditions or additions not called for may be rejected.
At the time the Contract is awarded by the Agency, the Contractor shall be licensed under the provisions of Chapter 9, Division 3, of the Business and Professions Code of the State of California to do the type of work contemplated in the Contract and shall be skilled and regularly engaged in the general class or type of work required by this Contract.
1-7.2 Contract Bonds. The “Performance Bond” is equivalent to City’s “Faithful Performance Bond”.
1-7.3 Examination of Plans, Specifications and Project Site. Bidders shall read the specifications, review the drawings and examine the existing facilities to fully understand the project in order to plan for the improvements as shown in the contract, including local condition, uncertainty of weather and all other contingencies.
Bidders shall satisfy themselves by personal examination of the proposed work sites, and by such other means as they may choose as to actual conditions and requirements and as to the accuracy of the quantities stated in the Proposal forms. Information derived from the maps, plans, specifications, profiles, drawings, or from the Engineer /Architect of the record, shall not relieve the bidder of this responsibility, and the interpretation of the data disclosed by borings or other preliminary investigations is not guaranteed nor is any liability assumed by the Agency.

GP-3
Bids subsequently shown to be mathematically unbalanced would be rejected as nonresponsive.
A mathematically unbalanced bid is one containing lump sum or unit bid items which do not reflect reasonable actual costs plus a reasonable proportionate share of the bidder’s anticipated profit, overhead costs, and other indirect costs, which he/she anticipates for the performance of the items in question.
“A bid is mathematically unbalanced if the bid is structured on the basis of nominal prices for some work and inflated prices for other work; that is, each element of the bid must carry its proportionate share of the total cost of the work plus profits.”
“A bid is materially unbalanced if there is a reasonable doubt that award to the bidder submitting the mathematically unbalanced bid will result in the lowest ultimate cost to the Government.
Consequently, a materially unbalanced bid may not be accepted.”
Award of the Contract, if it be awarded, will ordinarily be made by the Agency within 30 days after opening of the bids. Award will be made to the lowest responsive responsible bidder.
In selecting the lowest responsive responsible bidder, consideration will be given to the general competency of the bidder for the performance of the work covered by the proposal. To receive favorable consideration, a bidder may be required to present evidence that he has successfully performed similar work of comparable magnitude or submit other evidence satisfactory to the Agency that he or his associates are competent to manage the proposed undertaking and to carry it forward to a successful conclusion. Professional integrity and honesty of purpose shall be essential requirements. A showing of adequate financial resources may be required but will not alone determine whether a bidder is competent to undertake the proposed work.
Only manufacturers or contractors of established reputation, or their duly authorized dealers or agency, having proper facilities for the manufacture of the materials or equipment and for servicing same, or for proper execution of the work called for in the contract, will be considered in making the award.
1-7.6 Execution of Contract . A bidder whose proposal is accepted shall properly sign a written contract with the Agency on the form attached hereto and return said contract together with good and approved bonds and insurance certificates as required by the Contract Documents within twenty-one (21) calendar days from the date of the mailing of a notice from the Agency to the bidder, according to the address given by him, of acceptance of his proposal.
Contract bonds and certificates of insurance, if required, shall be filed in all instances before delivering any equipment, materials, or performing any work under the contract; also before any purchase order shall be issued. An executed Power of Attorney form shall be submitted with all contract bonds herein specified.
If a bidder whose proposal is accepted fails or refuses to enter into a contract as herein provided, or to conform to any stipulated requirement in connection therewith, the money represented by his check or bidder’s bond shall be refunded less the difference between the low bid and the bid of the bidder with whom the Agency enters into an agreement in accordance with the provisions of the Public Contracts Code Section 20174. At the discretion of the Agency, an award may be made to the bidder whose proposal is next most acceptable to the Agency, and such bidder and his surety shall fulfill every stipulation embraced herein as if he were the party to whom the first award was made.
A corporation to which an award is made may be required before the contract is finally signed to furnish evidence of its corporate existence, of its right to do business in California and of the GP-4
authority of the officer signing the contract and bonds for the corporation to so sign.
1-7.7 Return of Proposal and Guarantee. The check or bond of a bidder to whom the contract has been awarded will be returned to him after all of the acts, for the performance of which said security is required, have been fully performed. The checks or bid bonds of the second and third lowest bidders will be returned when the bidder to whom the contract has been awarded has properly executed all of the required Contract Documents. Check or bid bonds of other bidders will be returned when their proposals are rejected or in any event at the expiration of forty-five (45) days from the date of opening bids.

2-11. DISPUTE RESOLUTION.
2-11.1 Requests for Contract Adjustments and Relief . If either Contractor or the Agency believes that it is entitled to relief against the other for any event arising out of or related to the work or Project, such party shall provide written notice to the other party of the basis for its claim for relief. Such notice shall, if possible, be made prior to incurring any cost or expense and in accordance with any specific notice requirements contained in the applicable sections of this Contract.
In the absence of any specific notice requirement, written notice shall be given within a reasonable time, not to exceed fourteen (14) days, after the occurrence giving rise to the claim for relief or after the claiming party reasonably should have recognized the event or condition giving rise to the request, whichever is later. Such notice shall include sufficient information to advise the other party of the circumstances giving rise to the claim for relief, the specific contractual adjustment or relief requested and the basis of such request.
2-11.2 Dispute Avoidance and Resolution . The parties are fully committed to working with each other throughout the Project and agree to communicate regularly with each other at all times so as to avoid or minimize disputes or disagreements. If disputes or disagreements do arise, Contractor and the Agency each commit to resolving such disputes or disagreements in an amicable, professional and expeditious manner so as to avoid unnecessary losses, delays and disruptions to the work under the Contract.
Contractor and the Agency will first attempt to resolve disputes or disagreements at the field level through discussions between Contractor’s Representative and the Engineer.
If a dispute or disagreement cannot be resolved through the Contractor’s Representative and the Engineer, Contractor’s Chief Executive Officer or similar senior representative and the Gardena City Manager, or designee, upon the request of the other party, shall meet as soon as conveniently possible, but in no case later than twenty (20) days after such a request is made, to attempt to resolve such dispute or disagreement. Prior to any meeting between the parties’ senior representatives, the parties will ex change relevant information that will assist the parties GP-6
in resolving their dispute or disagreement.
If, after meeting, the senior representatives determine that the dispute or disagreement cannot be resolved on terms satisfactory to both parties, the parties may submit the dispute to binding or non-binding mediation. The mediation shall be conducted in any manner and by any person or mediation association mutually acceptable to the parties.
2-11.3 Arbitration. Any claims, disputes or controversies between the parties arising out of or relating to the Contract, or the breach thereof, which have not been resolved in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 9 -4.2 above may be decided by binding or non- binding arbitration. The arbitration shall be conducted in any manner and by any person or arbitration association mutually acceptable to the parties.
2-11.4 Claims Disputes. Any claims of Contractor, as “claims” are defined in California Public Contract Code Section 9204 shall be processed in accordance with that section. Section 9204 provides in relevant part that upon receiving a claim from a contractor, together with reasonable documentation to support the claim, a contracting public entity shall conduct a reasonable review of the claim and, within a period not to exceed 45 days [except as otherwise provided in Section 9204], shall provide the claimant a written statement identifying what portion of the claim is disputed and what portion is undisputed.
Any payment due on an undisputed portion of the claim shall be processed and made within 60 days after the public entity issues its written statement. If the public entity fails to issue a written statement, Section 9- 4.3 shall apply. If the contractor disputes the public entity’s written response, or if the public entity fails to respond to a claim within the time prescribed, the contractor may demand in writing an informal conference to meet and confer for settlement of the issues in dispute.
Upon receipt of a demand in writing sent by registered mail or certified mail, return receipt requested, the public entity shall schedule a meet and confer conference within 30 days for settlement of the dispute. Within 10 business days following the conclusion of the meet and confer conference, if the claim or any portion of the claim remains in dispute, the public entity shall provide the claimant a written statement identifying the portion of the claim that remains in dispute and the portion that is undisputed.
Any payment due on an undisputed portion of the claim shall be processed and made within 60 days after the public entity issues its written statement. Any disputed portion of the claim of the claim, as identified by the contractor in writing, shall be submitted to nonbinding mediation, with the public entity and the contractor sharing the associated costs equally. The public entity and contractor shall mutually agree to a mediator within 10 business days after the disputed portion of the claim has been identified in writing. If the parties cannot agree upon a mediator, each party shall select a mediator and those mediators shall select a qualified neutral third party to mediate with regard to the disputed portion of the claim. Each party shall bear the fees and costs charged by its respective mediator in connection with the selection of the neutral mediator.
If mediation is unsuccessful, the parts of the claim remaining in dispute shall be subject to other applicable procedures.

Section: DEPARTMENTAL
ITEMS - PUBLIC WORKS
Meeting Date: November 19,

TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE GARDENA CITY COUNCIL AGENDA TITLE:
Approval of Consultant Engineering Staff Augmentation Services from Project Partners, Inc. for an amount not to exceed $242,000 COUNCIL ACTION REQUIRED:
Staff Recommendation: Approval of Consultant Engineering Staff Augmentation Services
RECOMMENDATION AND STAFF SUMMARY:
The Public Works Engineering Division is responsible for executing Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Projects and overseeing all private improvements within the public right-of-way.
For Fiscal Year 2024-2025, the division is managing 44 CIP projects with a cumulative total of $71.5 million. On an annual basis, staff will conduct over 1,000 plan check reviews and encroachment permits. Due to the significant increase in CIP activities, additional engineering staff is essential to meeting the demand.
The Engineering Division currently consists of six staff members including an Assistant Public Works Director, a Civil Engineer, an Associate Engineer, an Assistant Engineer, an Engineering Technician, and a Public Works Inspector. For the past 30 months, staff had a Consultant Engineer assisting with the increase in CIP projects. However, the contract expired, and the Consultant Engineer is no longer available. To maintain project delivery support, it is proposed that consultant staff provide assistance with CIP projects and other engineering tasks as needed, averaging a minimum of 20 hours per week. The budget for staff augmentation has been allocated for Fiscal Year 2024-2025 and 2025-2026.
Staff issued a Request for Proposals to three (3) On-Call Consultants: Project Partners, Inc., Kimley-Horn and Associates, and Transtech Engineering, Inc. After reviewing the proposals, staff recommends that the City Council authorize a consultant contract with Project Partners based on their understanding of the request, qualifications, availability, and competitive fees.
Project Partners specializes in staff augmentation services for public agencies throughout Southern California, with 25 years of experience and has an excellent track record including prior work for the City of Gardena. Project Partners is well-versed in compliance with CalPERS regulations and the staffing of formal city employees. The proposed engineer has 30 years of civil engineering experience, with a focus on Public Works CIP projects. He spent over 20 years with the City of Anaheim and an additional 10 years in the private sector.
The agreement term will begin upon Council approval and expire on June 30, 2026, with the option for staff to extend for an additional 12 months, contingent on satisfactory performance and the completion of projects. The fee schedule submitted by the consultant will remain fixed throughout both the initial and optional terms unless formally amended by the City Council.
Staff respectfully recommends that the City Council approve the Consultant Engineering Staff Augmentation Services from Project Partners, Inc., for an amount not to exceed $242,000 and authorize staff to extend the contract for up to an additional 12 months if necessary.
FINANCIAL IMPACT/COST:
Amount of Expense: $242,000
Budgeted Funding Source: FY 2024/2025- $121,000 and FY 2025/2026- $121,000 -Various CIP funds per each project (Measure M, Measure R, STPL, Prop C, etc.) ATTACHMENTS:

Re: General Civil Eng ineering Design, C onstruction Management & Inspection, Traffic Engineering, Architecture and Landscape Arch itecture, Geotechnical Engineering/Geology and Material Testing, and Staff Augmentation On-Call Professional Services
Dear Mr. Kwak,
Project Partners is pleased to submit our qualifications for General Civil Engineering Design, Construction Management & Inspection, Traffic Engineering, Architecture and Landscape Architecture, Geotechnical Engineering/Geology and Material Testing, and Staff Augmentation On-Call Professional Services for Staff Augmentation Services . We are eager to offer these services to the City of Gardena as we have a great working relationship with the City and believe that we are the best firm to help the City complete its projects efficiently and cost-effectively.
Project Partners has a long history of delivering on-site staff augmentation services to municipalities across Southern California, with a specialization in providing senior engineers, project managers, and other technical roles. Over the past 28 years, we have made a name for ourselves for our specialized skills in finding the right on-call, as-needed staff to suit agencies’ needs. We aim to demonstrate, in this submittal, why Project Partners should be the City of Gardena’s top choice, starting with these points:
Working Relationship with Gardena: Project Partners has provided staff to Gardena for 4 years, and is therefore very familiar with the City’s processes, staff, as well as the City itself. Our firm was first brought on in 2021 to provide a Senior CIP Project Manager. We presented the City with Frank Borges who was able to complete key projects such as the Vermont Avenue Street Improvement from Artesia Blvd to Gardena Blvd, the Budlong Ave from 135th St. to Redondo Beach and Halldale Ave from 135th, Crenshaw Blvd Street Improvements, Pedestrian Safety Improvement Projects, and Local Street Improvements. While the contract was initially supposed to be for just one year, the City ended up extending it to July 2024. Our familiarity with the City and its processes make us the ideal firm to provide staff augmentation services.
Seasoned Public Engineers: Our proposed staff include public retirees with decades of experience. Having served as senior staff and upper management for their respective Public Works departments, our proposed personnel have the exact skills needed to serve the City. While working on-site, they will be instrumental in pushing projects forward, managing people, and mentoring junior staff. As retirees, their technical expertise and communication skills translate to quickly jumping on any project and contributing with little-to-no ramp-up time.

CITY OF GARDENA
Public Works Department
Expertise in Staff Augmentation: Unlike other consulting firms that attempt to do everything , we focus on what we do best: engineering staff augmentation for municipalities and public agencies. In the last 5 years alone, we have successfully secured and completed over 50 contracts providing contract staff to public sector organizations. Remarkably, more than 80% of our clients choose to work with us repeatedly - a testament to their confidence in our ability to provide the most qualified civil engineering, project management, and technical staff.
Compliance with CalPERS to Keep the City Safe: With increasing annual audits, it is crucial to hire a firm that understands pension rules and has a comprehensive operations and client training program. We at Project Partners prioritize respecting all CalPERS rules to help keep our clients compliant.
Affordable Billing Rates: Cost savings is one of many areas where Project Partners excels.
Because we are s pecifically designed to provide staff augmentation services, we operate differently from most consulting firms. Our focus in technical contract staffing for public organizations substantially reduces our overhead costs. In co ntrast, our competitors’ rates are much higher, charging as much as 50% more.
In conclusion, in today's dynamic and ever -changing environment, predicting future staff requirements can be challenging. Choosing Project Partners will allow the City to utilize all their resources to their full function while enjoying the resources of on-call seasoned staff, knowledge of and compliance with CalPERS, and cost-effective billing rates. Therefore, we are confident that we are the right fit for the City.
We are committed to complying with all terms and conditions of the RFQ, and Mr. Kimo Look, P.E. will be the primary contact for any questions regarding this RFQ response. He can be reached at (949) 852 -9300 Ext. 103. W e have read and received all RFQ and addenda information. All information in the submittal is true and correct. Our proposal and prices shall remain valid for a period of no less than 90 days from the date of submittal. Project Partners accepts the terms of the Agreement and insurance requirements.
We are eager to continue working with the City of Gardena by providing the same services that we currently provide to cities in every county of Southern California. We are confident that we can deliver excellent results for Gardena, and we welcome any questions or clarifications you may have. Please do not hesitate to contact us at your convenience.
Sincerely,
Kimo Look, P.E.

1.1 COMPANY OVERVIEW
Project Partners was established in 1996 as
a California Corporation. Since then, we have
created a reputation for ourselves as highly
skilled and cost-effective consultants and
have become a leading provider of staff
augmentation for Southern California cities
and public agencies. In the last five years
alone, we have fulfilled over 50 public sector
contracts ranging from as-needed tasks to
multi-million-dollar projects. Within our
specialization in municipal staff
augmentation, Project Partners excels in providing Engineers and other Technical Staff thanks to our seasoned candidates who possess effective communication skills, technical prowess, and decades of public sector experience.
1.2 WHY PROJECT PARTNERS?
While the City has its choice of firms to provide staff augmentation services, Project Partners is able to provide the precise services the City is seeking along with the following advantages:
• Previous Technical Services to the City of Gardena
• Over 25 Years of Providing Engineering Staff to Municipalities • Highly Experienced Staff with Previous Experience with Cities • Access to Experts Who Can Keep Your City CalPERS Compliant • Cost-Effective Rates at a Fraction of Traditional Consultant Rates • Large Pool of Highly-Sought-After Retiree Candidates
Because of our highly calibrated business model, we at Project Partners are uniquely positioned to offer such benefits to the City.

1.3 STAFF AUGMENTATION APPROACH
Our approach consists of finding the best quality candidates, most of whom are public retirees with decades of experience, and providing them to Gardena quickly, efficiently, and cost-effectively. We have an extensive database of experienced public sector candidates and are proud of our ability to provide staff tailored to our client’s specific needs.
Additionally, our expertise in public sector engineering contract staffing substantially reduces our overhead costs, resulting in a significantly lower billing rate compared to traditional consulting rates. Most importantly, our dedication to following CalPERS Rules means the City will be protected in the event of an audit, which is much more likely given CalPERS recent calls for increases in member agency audits. Last but not least, our focused operations lends itself to timely service to the City, allowing our firm to respond to task order requests within five business days, and find and place staff at the City within 10.
Because we are proposing to provide staff augmentation services, which would not entail deliverables, we will concentrate on providing quality staff to help the City maintain and improve its services as opposed to providing deliverables free of error.
1.4 COMPETITIVE BILL RATES
Project Partners is incredibly cost -effective in multiple regards. Project Partners provides quality staff with not years, but decades of public sector experience. Our proposed staff includes skilled retirees that can fill many roles and complete a wide variety of tasks. We can ultimately complete a wide range of tasks needed by the City with fewer people and less cost.
Our rates are also a fraction
of othe r consulting rates.
Because we are specifically
designed to pr ovide
engineering staff , we
operate differently from
most consulting firms. We
have a very efficient and
focused operation, and
therefore have substantially

comparison, our
competitors’ rates are much
higher, charging as much
as 50% more than what

you’d pay if you worked with Project Partners . Our cost-effective bill rates also make it easier to have additional staff hours should the need arise - a common occurrence with highly technical projects.
Based on our calculations, Project Partners’ rates are also on par with public agency rates. We came to this conclusion by collecting the rates submitted by public agencies to grant funding organizations. These rates, established by the agencies themselves, encompass the comprehensive cost (including all associated expenses) for their emp loyees. Essentially, this is equivalent to a public sector billing rate. As shown on the following graph, Project Partners offers very comparable billing rates.
1.5 KNOWLEDGE OF RELEVANT CODES
Laws and Regulations - Federal and state governments, as well as the legal system, are increasingly holding all construction professionals and the owner responsible for jobsite safety. Project Partners understands this trend and will recommend that certain requirements be placed into the contract documents in order to promote a safe work environment for all participants.
The basic objectives of an adequate safety plan include provisions that address the following:
• Compliance with Cal/OSHA
• Safety and substance abuse
• Forcibly working in an unsafe work environment
Docusign Envelope ID: A9FFECB7-8536-4BE4-9364-AF483F3AB846
CITY OF GARDENA
Public Works Department
Section 1, Page 4
• Employee/worker responsibilities for knowing and abiding by safety rules and regulations that are applicable to tasks
Not adhering to relevant rules and codes can interfere with project timelines and lead to project delays. Our proposed staff have at minimum 20 years of construction and project management experience, are well -acquainted with the relevant City, County, Sta te, and Federal codes and procedures, and can confidently move projects forward by complying with all rules and regulations.
1.6 CalPERS COMPLIANCE KEEPS THE CITY SAFE
In addition to following the relevant codes, staff augmentation also requires knowledge of CalPERS.
As a provider of engineering staff to the Public Sector for over two decades, we know the biggest risk with contract engineering programs is CalPERS penalties and fines. Unlike design contracts where consultants are fully responsible for the design, our embedded staff work very closely with staff to jointly make project decisions. Therefore, CalPERS
compliance is a much bigger issue than professional
liability due to Errors & Omissions.
Violating any of the myriad of CalPERS laws is a key
concern for most Agency Risk Management
Departments. This is particularly relevant today as
CalPERS is increasing the number of audits it plans to
conduct annually. CalPERS has also stated that having
augmented staff through a consulting firm, or even
working remotely, does not automatically provide the
desired protection. It mandated that if there is a common law relationship between the City and the augmented
staff, then CalPERS rules apply.
Therefore, it is critical when implementing a contract project management program that (1) the City be in complete compliance with CalPERS rules and (2) it hires firms that have tried-and-true procedures to keep the City safe. This is where Project Partners comes in. We offer a proven, workable solution for our clients:
● Tracking Labor Laws – There are a multitude of complex labor laws that public sector contract staffing falls under. Because these laws are dynamic, our firm aggressively tracks any changes and legal interpretations.
● Adhering to Procedures – Working with several labor law firms, we have developed comprehensive procedures for having contract staff in public organizations. These processes act as a guide for both contract staff and our Docusign Envelope ID: A9FFECB7-8536-4BE4-9364-AF483F3AB846
CITY OF GARDENA
Public Works Department
Section 1, Page 5
clients to remain within compliance.
● Understanding PEPRA – Public sector retirees offer great staffing solutions due to their years of experience, but agencies are affected by Public Employee Pension Reform Act (PEPRA) regulations. We are well-versed in keeping both our retirees and our clients compliant under PEPRA’s limitations.
● Documenting Compliance – Our systems automatically identify and document proof of our staff following labor laws, including the specific areas where our clients and public agency partners are compliant. These documents are essential during CalPERS audits.
1.7 QUALITY CONTROL METHODOLOGY
At Project Partners, we apply the following approach to all our projects to ensure they are completed on time and within budget:
• Dedicated Client Services – At our small business corporation, our staff have direct experience completing project goals in the Scope of Services that the City requests.
• Efficient Scheduling – We prepare a schedule of the tasks needed to complete the Scope and deliverables, making sure to leave sufficient time for client review, comments, and other client processes, as well as stakeholder communications, review, comment, and discussion.
• Effective Communication – When new information is discovered that affects the work, we immediately relay it to the client, and make decisions with the client on how to adjust the scope and schedule.
• Constructive Feedback – In order to maintain our high standard of work, we request feedback from the client mid- and post-project to identify where improvements can be made.
1.8 SUMMARY
In summation, Project Partners is the clear choice for the City of Gardena because (1) we specialize in providing quality staff with decades of public sector civil experience, (2) our staff is ready to hit the ground running with proven professional expertise in compliance with CalPERS rules and regulations and (3) we have a considerable track record and affordable consultant billing rates. With a history of providing technical staff augmentation to municipalities, the City of Gardena among them , Project Pa rtners is ready and capable of providing the staff augmentation services requested in this RFQ.
