2.9 On February 25, 2025, the City Council commenced a duly noticed public hearing on the Project Approvals. Prior to approving this Agreement by the Enabling Ordinance, the City Council adopted Resolution No. _____ certified the FEIR.
2.10 All of the Property is subject to this Agreement.
3. Binding Effect. The burdens of this Agreement are binding upon, and the benefits of the Agreement inure to, the City and the Developer and each successive Transferee, assign and successor in interest thereto and constitute covenants that run with the land. Any and all rights and obligations that are attributed to the Developer under this Agreement shall run with the land.
3.1 Constructive Notice and Acceptance. Every Person who acquires any right, title, or interest in or to any portion of the Property in which the Developer has a legal interest is, and shall be, conclusively deemed to have consented and agreed to be bound by this Agreement, whether or not any reference to this Agreement is contained in the instrument by which such Person acquired such right, title or interest.
3.2 Rights to Assign and Transfer. Developer may assign or transfer its rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Property, or any portion thereof, to any Person
403644764.2
5 at any time during the term of this Agreement without approval of the City. For purpose of this Agreement, the Transferee must be considered the “owner” of that portion of the Property which is covered by such transfer.
3.3 Liabilities Upon Transfer. Upon the delegation of the duties and obligations under this Agreement and the sale, transfer or assignment of all or any portion of the Property, Developer will be automatically released from its obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Property, or portion thereof, so transferred arising prior and subsequent to the effective date of such transfer, if: (i) Developer has provided to the City prior or subsequent written notice of such transfer; and (ii) the Transferee has agreed in writing to be subject to all of the provisions hereof applicable to the portion of the Property so transferred by executing an Assignment and Assumption Agreement in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. Upon any transfer of any portion of the Property and the express assumption of Developer’s obligations under this Agreement by such Transferee, the City agrees to look solely to the Transferee for compliance by such Transferee with the provisions of this Agreement as such provisions relate to the portion of the Property acquired by such Transferee. Any such Transferee shall be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement as “Developer” hereunder and shall be subject to the obligations of this Agreement applicable to the parcel(s) transferred. A default by any Transferee shall only affect that portion of the Property owned by such Transferee and shall not cancel or diminish in any way Developer’s rights hereunder with respect to any portion of the Property not owned by such Transferee. The Transferee shall be responsible for satisfying the good faith compliance requirements set forth in Section 8 below relating to the portion of the Property owned by such Transferee, and any amendment to this Agreement between the City and a Transferee shall only affect the portion of the Property owned by such Transferee.
3.4 Resumption of Rights. If Transferee defaults with respect to any provision of this Agreement, Developer may, but is not obligated to, resume Transferee’s obligations upon written notification to City.
4. Development of the Property. The following provisions, in addition to the Applicable Rules, shall govern the development and use of the Property.
4.1 Permitted Uses and Design and Development Standards. The permitted, administratively permitted, and conditionally permitted uses of the Property, as well as the Development Standards, are set forth in the Project Approvals and Applicable Rules.
4.2 Entitlement to Develop. The Developer is granted the vested right to develop the Project subject to the Applicable Rules, the Project Approvals, and any Future Approvals during the Term.
4.3 Building Regulations. Notwithstanding Section 4.4 below, all construction on the Property shall adhere to the Building Regulations in effect at the time an application for a building permit is submitted and to any federal or state building requirements that are then in effect at such time. Additionally, nothing in this Agreement prevents the City from applying “standard specifications” for public improvements (e.g., streets, storm drainage, parking lot standards,
403644764.2
6 driveway widths), as the same may be adopted or amended from time to time by the City, provided that the provisions of any such standards and specifications apply only to the extent they are in effect on a Citywide basis and so long as they do not conflict with the provisions of the Project Approvals and this Agreement.
4.4 Subsequent Rules. Subsequent Rules cannot be applied by the City to any part of the Property unless the Developer gives the City written notice of its election to have a Subsequent Rule applied to the Property, in which case such Subsequent Rule is deemed to be an Applicable Rule.
4.5 Fees, Exactions, Mitigation Measures, Conditions, Reservations and Dedications.
4.5.1 Subject to Sections 4.5.2 and 4.5.3 of this Agreement, all fees, exactions, mitigation measures, conditions, reservations, and dedications of land for public purposes that are applicable to the Project are set forth in the Applicable Rules, the Project Approvals, and this Agreement.
4.5.2 Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, and specifically excluding fees set by entities not controlled by the City that are collected by the City, the City can only charge and impose those fees and exactions, including, without limitation, dedication and any other fee relating to development or the privilege of development, which are in effect on a City-wide basis as of the Effective Date.
4.5.3 This Section 4.5 shall not be construed to limit the authority of the City to charge normal and customary application, processing, and permit fees, including legal and environmental processing costs, for land use approvals, building permits and other similar permits, for Future Approvals, which fees are designed to reimburse City’s actual expenses attributable to such application, processing and permitting and are in force and effect on a City-wide basis at such time as applications for such approvals are filed with the City. Notwithstanding any term to the contrary in this Section 4.5.3, the Developer shall not be required to pay any new impact fees that are not in effect on the Effective Date.
4.6 Use of Easements. Notwithstanding the provisions of the Applicable Rules, easements dedicated for vehicular and pedestrian use shall be permitted to include easements for underground drainage, water, sewer, gas, electricity, telephone, cable, and environmental remediation and other utilities and facilities so long as they do not unreasonably interfere with pedestrian and/or vehicular use.
4.7 Timing of Development. In Pardee Construction Co. v. City of Camarillo (Pardee), 37 Cal.3d 465 (1984), the California Supreme Court held that the failure of the parties therein to provide for the timing or rate of development resulted in a later-adopted initiative restricting the rate of development to prevail against the parties’ agreement. City and Developer intend to avoid the result in Pardee by acknowledging and providing that Developer shall have the right, without obligation, to develop the Property in such order and at such rate and times as Developer deems appropriate within the exercise of its subjective business judgment subject to the terms of this
403644764.2
7 Agreement.
In furtherance of the Parties’ intent, as set forth in this Section, no future amendment of any existing City ordinance or resolution, or future adoption of any ordinance, resolution, or other action, that purports to limit the rate or timing of development over time or alter the sequencing of development phases, whether adopted or imposed by the City Council or through the initiative or referendum process, shall apply to the Property. However, nothing in this Section shall be construed to limit City’s right to enforce Developer’s obligation pursuant to this Agreement to provide any infrastructure required by the Project Approvals and this Agreement.
4.8 Moratorium.
4.8.1 The City shall not impose a moratorium on the Property unless such is necessary to protect a significant threat to the immediate health, safety and welfare of the City based on substantial evidence in the record; provided, however, that: (i) any such moratorium shall last only as long as necessary to eliminate or prevent such a threat and shall terminate upon the elimination or termination of such a threat, and (ii) the Term (as defined in Section 4.9 hereof), including any extension thereof under Section 4.9 hereof, shall extend for a period of time equal to the duration of any such moratorium imposed.
4.8.2 Except as provided in Section 4.8.1 above, no City-imposed moratorium or other limitation (whether relating to the rate, timing or sequencing of the development or construction of all or any part of the Property, whether imposed by ordinance, initiative, resolution, policy, order or otherwise, and whether enacted by the City Council, an agency of the City, the electorate or otherwise) affecting parcel or subdivision maps (whether tentative, vesting tentative, or final), building permits, occupancy certificates, or other entitlements to use or service (including, without limitation, water and sewer), approved, issued or granted within the City, or portions of the City, applies to the Property to the extent such moratorium or other limitation is in conflict with this Agreement. However, the provisions of this Section do not affect the City’s compliance with moratoria or other limitations mandated by federal or state governmental agencies or courtimposed moratoria or other limitations.
4.9 Term. This Agreement shall be in effect for a period of ten (10) years from the Effective Date of the Enabling Ordinance. However, the Developer or the City shall be entitled to, by written notice to the other Party prior to the Agreement’s expiration, one (1) five-year (5- year) administrative extension, provided that the requesting Party is not in material default of this Agreement at such time beyond any applicable period to cure provided for by Sections 8.5 and 10 below. Before the expiration of the five-year (5-year) extension, the Parties may mutually agree to further extensions. In the event of litigation challenging this Agreement, the Term is automatically suspended for the duration of such litigation and resumes upon final disposition of such challenge and any appeal thereof upholding the validity of this Agreement. In the event that a referendum petition concerning this Agreement is duly filed in such a manner that the ordinance approving this Agreement is suspended, then the Term is deemed to commence upon City Council certification of the results of the referendum election approving this Agreement.
403644764.2
8 4.10 Term of Map(s) and Other Project Approvals. Pursuant to California Government Code Sections 66452.6(a) and 65863.9, the term of the site plan review and tract map and any other subdivision or map that has been or in the future may be processed on all or any portion of the Property and the term of each of the Project Approvals shall be extended for a period of time through the scheduled termination date of this Agreement as set forth in Section 4.9 above, including any extensions thereto.
4.11 Future Approvals. Applications for Future Approvals will be processed by the City in accordance with the City procedural rules under the Applicable Rules. The City may deny an application for a Future Approval only if such application does not substantially comply with this Agreement or the Applicable Rules (provided, however, that inconsistency with the Project Approvals shall not constitute grounds for denial of a Future Approval which is requested by the Developer as an amendment to that Project Approval). The City may approve an application for such a Future Approval subject to any conditions necessary to bring the Future Approval into compliance with this Agreement or the Applicable Rules, or as necessary to make this Future Approval consistent with the Project Approvals. If the City denies any application for a Future Approval, the City must specify in writing the reasons for such denial, the City shall have substantial evidence supporting such a denial, and it may suggest a modification which would be approved. Any such specified modifications must be consistent with this Agreement and the Applicable Rules, including the Project Approvals, and the City shall approve the application if it is subsequently resubmitted for the City review and addresses the reason for the denial in a manner that is consistent with this Agreement and the Applicable Rules, including the Project Approvals
4.11.1 Minor Modifications to Project. The Developer may make minor changes to the Project and Project Approvals (“Minor Modifications”) without the need to amend this Agreement upon the administrative approval of the Director. (a) Minor Modifications include:
(i) A modification to the Site Plan, provided the Director determines, in his/her discretion, that the Site Plan is substantially similar to the approved Site Plan attached hereto as Exhibit B and complies with the Specific Plan; and there is no change which would qualify as a Major Modification under Section 4.11.2 below; (ii) A “minor” modification to the Specific Plan as identified in Section 8.6 thereof; and
(iii) any other change that does not qualify as a Major Modification as defined below.
(b) The City shall not unreasonably withhold or delay approval of any Minor Modification. The City shall have the right to impose reasonable conditions in connection with Minor Modifications, provided, however, such conditions shall not be inconsistent with the Applicable Rules, the Project Approvals or with the development of the Project as contemplated by this Agreement.
403644764.2
9 (c) A Minor Modification approved by the City shall continue to constitute a Project Approval as referenced herein.
4.11.2 Modifications Requiring Amendment to this Agreement. Any proposed modification to the Project which results in any of the following shall constitute a Major Modification, and shall require an amendment to this Agreement pursuant to Section 14 below:
(a) Any change which constitutes a “significant” modification to the Specific Plan as identified in Section 8.6 thereof; or
(b) Any change which creates a new significant environmental impact which cannot be mitigated to a level of insignificance.
4.12 Site Plan Review. Any change to the site plan shall require Site Plan Review approval in accordance with Chapter 18.44 of the Gardena Municipal Code unless any such change constitutes a Minor Modification under Section 4.11.1.(a)(i) hereof.
4.13 Issuance of Building Permits. No building permit, final inspection or Certificate of Occupancy will be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed from the Developer if all infrastructure required to serve the portion of the Property covered by the building permit, final inspection, or Certificate of Occupancy is in place or is suitably guaranteed to be completed (by covenant, bond, letter of credit or otherwise) to the reasonable satisfaction of the City prior to completion of construction and all of the other relevant provisions of the Project Approvals, Future Approvals and this Agreement have been satisfied.
5. Developer Agreements.
5.1 General. The Developer shall comply with: (i) this Agreement; (ii) the Project Approvals, including, without limitation, all mitigation measures required by the determination made pursuant to CEQA; and (iii) all Future Approvals for which it is the applicant or a successor in interest to the applicant.
5.1.1 In the event that any of the mitigation measures or conditions required of Developer hereunder have been implemented by others, Developer shall be conclusively deemed to have satisfied such mitigation measures or conditions consistent with CEQA. If any such mitigation measures or conditions are rejected by a governmental agency with jurisdiction, the Developer may implement reasonably equivalent substitute mitigation measures or conditions consistent with CEQA, to the City’s satisfaction, in lieu of the rejected mitigation measures or conditions. Such substitution shall be deemed to be a Minor Modification pursuant to Section
4.11.1 above.
5.2 Development Fees. No City development fees apply to the Project, and no development impact fees that the City may adopt during the Term shall apply to the Project.
403644764.2
10 5.3 Maintenance Obligations. The Developer shall maintain all portions of the Property in its possession or control, and any improvements thereon, in a first class clean, neat, and orderly manner. The Parties’ respective maintenance obligations shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement, except that Developer’s maintenance obligations shall terminate upon a transfer of its complete interest in the Property to a third party, whereupon the maintenance obligation becomes an obligation of the third party acquiring that interest.
5.4 Sales and Use Tax.
5.4.1 In the event the contract price for any work on the Project is valued at five million dollars ($5,000,000) or more, Developer agrees to report, on a State Board of Equalization Tax Return, any purchases of tangible personal property made in connection with the finishing of and/or installation of materials, or fixtures for the Project, when such purchases were made without sales or use tax due. Developer shall indicate the City as a registered job site location on the State Board of Equalization Tax Return. In such event, Developer shall also obtain a permit or a subpermit from the State Board of Equalization indicating the City as the registered job site location, in accordance with Revenue and Taxation Code § 7051.3 or State Board of Equalization Compliance Policy and Procedure Manual § 295.060.
5.4.2 Developer further agrees that, if Developer retains contractors or subcontractors to perform a portion of work in the Project, and said contracts or subcontracts are valued at five million dollars ($5,000,000) or more, said contracts or subcontracts shall contain the provisions set forth in Section 5.5.1, above.
5.4.3 The Director of Finance of the City is authorized to relieve Developer and Developer’s contractors and subcontractors, from the requirements set forth in this Section 5.5 upon proof to the reasonable satisfaction of the Director of Finance that Developer and/or its contractors or subcontractors have made good faith efforts to obtain said permit or sub-permits, but were denied the same by the State Board of Equalization.
5.5 Public Benefits. Developer agrees to provide the following public benefits to the City in consideration of the City entering into this Development Agreement:
5.5.1 Local Hire. Developer shall use best efforts to hire locally-based construction workers as set forth in the Local Hiring Plan attached hereto as Exhibit D.
5.5.2 One-Time Payment. Developer shall make a one-time payment to the City in the amount of one million dollars ($1,000,000) which money shall be used for any public purpose deemed desirable by the City Council. Payment shall be made prior to Developer receiving a certificate of occupancy for any part of the building.
5.5.3. Use of Premises for Special Events. Developer shall allow the City to make use of an approximately 36,000 square foot portion of the property as depicted on Exhibit E attached hereto (the “Special Event Area”) for special events (“Special Events”) to be held approximately two to three times per month which shall not exceed 36 times per year, and limited
403644764.2
11 to Saturday and Sunday events between 7 AM and 10 PM with expected attendance up to 250 attendees; clean-up may take place after 10 PM. City shall not permit any attendee, City elected or appointed official or employee, contractor, vendor or any other person present at any of such Special Events to: (i) interfere with or disrupt the business operations or use of the Property by Developer, any of its tenants, or any principal, officer, manager, employee, invitee, vendor or contractor of Developer or any of its tenants, (ii) interfere or tamper with, damage, impair or alter any of the elements or features of the Final Remedial Action Plan approved by the California Department of Toxic Substances Control on July 17, 2022, or (iii) park any vehicle in any of the Property’s parking spaces or in any other area of the Property outside of the Special Event Area as depicted on Exhibit E. The Parties shall enter into an agreement that provides the terms and conditions for providing access to Special Events substantially in the form of Exhibit F attached hereto (the "Access Agreement”), which access shall commence upon issuance of a certificate of occupancy. The terms and conditions of Special Events in this Section 5.5.3 may be modified in writing upon the mutual agreement by City and Developer and the approval of the Director as a Minor Modification pursuant to Section 4.11.1 hereof. City shall provide Developer and each of its tenants a minimum of fourteen (14) calendar days’ notice of its intent to hold a Special Event so that Developer may coordinate with its tenants to make sure that business operations do not interfere with the City’s Special Events. The City shall be responsible for sponsoring, securing, and monitoring Special Events. Security and public services during Special Events shall be the City’s responsibility. This subsection 5.5.3 shall survive termination of this Development Agreement subject to the terms and conditions of the Access Agreement.
5.5.3.1 During the time of the Special Events, truck traffic to the distribution/warehouse use will be rerouted so that trucks will not have access to the eastern and northern portion of the circulation lanes. The City shall be required to install a temporary barrier prohibiting such use and requiring trucks to exit in the direction that they entered.
5.5.3.2 During the time of the Special Events, the City may install temporary physical barriers to prevent vehicles from entering the drive aisles near the Special Events, provided that access is still provided to the parking areas for the self-storage uses.
5.5.3.3 Developer shall construct a 10 foot by 20 foot storage building of 200 square feet for City storage use of all items related to the special events including barricades, tables and chairs at no cost to the City. City shall provide, pay and be solely responsible for all such items, except that Developer shall maintain this storage space in a manner that prevents damage to such items while stored in this storage space. Developer shall bear no responsibility or liability for maintaining, repairing or replacing any such item stored in this storage space. The storage area shall be built in the general location as shown on Exhibit E, shall be slab on grade, built out of CMU, and equipped with a steel door and LED motion sensor lights on the inside.
The building shall be designed to be compatible with the Project. The final plans shall be reviewed and approved by the Director of Community Development. Developer shall be responsible for the long-term maintenance of the storage area. This provision shall survive the term of this Development Agreement and shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Access Agreement.
6. City Agreements.
403644764.2
12 6.1 Expedited Processing. The City shall process for review and approval, at Developer’s expense, in an expedited manner, all applications or requests for plan checking, excavation, grading, building, encroachment and street improvement permits, inspections and Certificates of Occupancy, utility connection authorizations, and other ministerial permits or approvals necessary, convenient or appropriate for the grading, excavation, construction, development, improvement, use and occupancy of the Project. Without limiting the foregoing, if requested by Developer and at Developer’s expense, the City agrees to utilize private plan checkers in addition to those already under contract with the City and any other available means to expedite the processing of Project applications, including concurrent processing of such applications by various City departments.
6.2 Processing Cooperation and Assistance. To the extent permitted by law, the City shall reasonably cooperate with the Developer in securing any and all entitlements, authorizations, permits or approvals which may be required by any other governmental or quasi-governmental entity in connection with the development of the Project or the Property. Without limiting the foregoing, the City shall reasonably cooperate with the Developer in any dealings with federal, state and other local governmental and quasi-governmental entities concerning issues affecting the Property. The City shall keep the Developer fully informed with respect to its communications with such agencies which could impact the development of the Property. The City must not take any actions to encourage any other governmental or quasi-governmental entities from withholding any necessary approvals and any such contrary actions on the part of the City must be considered a breach of this Agreement by City.
6.3 Processing During Third-Party Litigation. The filing of any third-party lawsuit(s) against the City or the Developer relating to this Agreement, the Project Approvals, any Future Approvals or to other development issues affecting any portion of the Property or the Project shall not hinder, delay or stop the development, processing or construction of the Project, approval of the Future Approvals, or issuance of ministerial permits or approvals, unless the third party obtains a court order restraining the activity. The City shall not stipulate to or cooperate in the issuance of any such order.
6.4 Performance of Director Duties. The City shall ensure that a person or persons are designated at all times to carry out the duties of the Director set forth in this Agreement.
6.5 No Amendment to Specific Plan. The City shall not initiate any amendment to the Specific Plan during the Term of this Agreement without the Developer or its successor’s written agreement and consent.
7. Modification/Suspension.
7.1 Pursuant to Government Code Section 65869.5, in the event that any state or federal law or regulation, enacted after the Effective Date, precludes compliance with any provision of this Agreement, such provision shall be deemed modified or suspended to the extent practicable to comply with such state or federal law or regulation, as reasonably determined necessary by City.
Upon repeal of said law or regulation or the occurrence of any other event removing the effect
403644764.2
13 thereof upon the Agreement, the provisions hereof shall be restored to their full original effect.
7.2 In the event any state or federal resources agency ( such as California Department of Fish and Game, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Regional Water Quality Control Board/State Water Resources Control Board or other agencies), in connection with its final issuance of a permit or certification for all or a portion of the Project, imposes requirements (“Permitting Requirements”) that require modifications to the Project, then the Parties will work together in good faith to incorporate such changes into the Project; provided, however, that if Developer appeals or challenges any such Permit Requirements, then the Parties may defer such changes until the completion of such appeal or challenge.
8. Demonstration of Good Faith Compliance.
8.1 Review of Compliance. In accordance with Government Code Section 65865.1, this Section 8 and the Applicable Rules, once each year, on or before each anniversary of the Effective Date (“Periodic Review”), the Director shall review the extent of the Developer’s good faith substantial compliance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, as well as the performance by the City of its obligations under this Agreement.
8.2 Good Faith Compliance. During each Periodic Review, the Developer shall demonstrate by written status report that, during the preceding twelve-month (12-month) period (“Review Period”), that it has been in good faith compliance with this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, the phrase “good faith compliance” shall mean that the Developer has demonstrated that it has acted in a commercially reasonable manner (taking into account the circumstances which then exist) and in good faith in and has substantially complied with the Developer’s material obligations under this Agreement.
8.3 City Report - Information to be Provided to Developer. At least fourteen (14) days before each annual anniversary of the Effective Date, the City shall deliver to the Developer a copy of all staff reports prepared in connection with a Periodic Review, any prior staff reports generated during the Review Period, written comments from the public, and, to the extent practical, all related exhibits concerning such Periodic Review. This information shall be known as the “City Report.”
8.4 Developer’s Report. No later than the annual anniversary of the Effective Date, Developer must submit a written status report to the Director addressing the good faith compliance issue set forth in Section 8.2 above and any issues raised by the City Report provided to the Developer in accordance with Section 8.3 above.
8.5 Notice of Non-Compliance; Cure Rights. If, after reviewing the Developer’s Report, the Director reasonably concludes, on the basis of substantial evidence, that as to any parcel or parcels comprising the Property, Developer has not demonstrated that it is in good faith compliance with this Agreement, the Director may issue and deliver to the Developer a written Notice of Violation as set forth in Section 10 below.
8.6 Public Notice of Finding. Any appeal of the Director’s determination pursuant to
403644764.2
14 Section 8.5 (including any appeal by the Developer) must be filed within thirty (30) days following such decision. Filing such an appeal tolls the cure period specified in the Notice of Violation.
Notwithstanding Section 13.1, an appeal regarding the Notice of Violation shall be heard directly by the City Council at a duly-noticed public hearing and the City Council must issue a final decision. Developer retains the right to challenge the City’s issuance of any final decision pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure § 1094.5 without complying with the procedures set forth in Section
10.4 below.
8.7 Failure of Periodic Review. The City’s failure to review, at least annually, compliance by the Developer with the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall not constitute or be asserted by any Party as a breach by any other Party of this Agreement. If the City fails to provide the City Report by fourteen (14) days before each annual anniversary of the Effective Date, Developer will be deemed to be in good faith compliance with this Agreement for that Review Period.
9. Excusable Delays. Performance by any Party of its obligations hereunder shall be excused during any period of “Excusable Delay,” as hereinafter defined, provided that the Party claiming the delay gives notice of the delay to the other Party as soon as reasonably possible after the same has been ascertained. For purposes hereof, Excusable Delay shall mean delay that directly affects, and is beyond the reasonable control of, the Party claiming the delay, including, without limitation:
(i) act of God; (ii) civil commotion; (iii) riot; (iv) strike, picketing or other labor dispute; (v) shortage of materials or supplies; (vi) damage to work in progress by reason of fire, flood, earthquake or other casualty; (vii) reasonably unforeseeable delay caused by a reasonably unforeseeable restriction imposed or mandated by a governmental entity; (viii) litigation brought by a third-party attacking the validity of this Agreement, a Project Approval, a Future Approval or any other action necessary for development of the Property; (ix) delays caused by any breach or default by City or the Developer hereunder; (x) delays due to a pandemic and/or government mandated quarantine; or (xi) delays due to the presence or remediation of hazardous materials.
The Term of this Agreement, including any extensions, shall be extended by any period of Excusable Delay.
10. Default Provisions.
10.1 Default. Either Party to this Agreement shall be deemed to be in “Default” under this Agreement if it materially breaches any of the provisions of this Agreement and the same is not cured within the time set forth in a written notice of violation (the “Notice of Violation”) from the non-breaching Party to the breaching Party, which period of time shall not be less than twenty (20) days for monetary breaches, and not less than sixty (60) days for non-monetary breaches from the date that the notice is deemed received, provided if the breaching Party cannot reasonably cure a non-monetary breach within the time set forth in the notice, then the breaching Party shall not be in Default if it commences to cure the breach within such time limit and diligently effects such cure thereafter. If the City determines that a Default by Developer may have occurred, the City shall give written notice to the Developer of its intention to terminate this Agreement and comply with the notice and public hearing requirements of Government Code Sections 65867 and 65868.
At the time and place set for the hearing on termination, the Developer shall be given an
403644764.2
15 opportunity to be heard. If the City Council finds, based upon the evidence, that the Developer is in Default under this Agreement, the City Council may modify or terminate this Agreement. If Developer initiates a resolution of dispute in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.4 below within sixty (60) days following the City Council’s determination that Developer is in Default under this Agreement, the City Council’s decision to modify or terminate this Agreement is stayed until the issue has been resolved through informal procedures, mediation, or court proceedings.
10.2 Content of Notice of Violation. Every Notice of Violation shall state with specificity that it is given pursuant to this Section of the Agreement, the nature of the alleged breach (including references to the pertinent provisions of this Agreement), the portion of the Property involved, and the manner in which the breach may be satisfactorily cured. The notice shall be deemed given in accordance with Section 19 hereof.
10.3 Remedies for Default. The Parties agree that upon a default by a Party the other Party shall have all rights and remedies provided herein or by applicable law, which shall include but not be limited to compelling the specific performance of the defaulting Party’s obligations under this Agreement, provided that the non-defaulting Party complies with the Notice of Violation requirements in Sections 10.1 and 10.2 hereof. No modification or termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1 hereof shall invalidate or affect in any manner any of the other Project Approvals.
10.4 Resolution of Disputes. The City and the Developer agree to attempt to settle any claim, dispute or controversy arising from this Agreement through consultation and negotiation in good faith and in spirit of mutual cooperation. If those attempts fail, the dispute may be mediated by a mediator chosen jointly by the City and the Developer within thirty (30) days after notice by one of the parties demanding non-binding mediation. Neither Party may unreasonably withhold consent to the selection of a mediator. The City and the Developer will share the cost of the mediation equally. The Parties may agree to engage in some other form of non-binding alternate dispute resolution (“ADR”) procedure in lieu of mediation. Any dispute that cannot be resolved between the Parties through negotiation or mediation within two (2) months after the date of the initial demand for non-binding mediation may then be submitted to a court of competent jurisdiction in the County of Los Angeles, California.
10.5 Attorney’s Fees and Costs. Each Party to this Agreement agrees to waive any entitlement of attorney’s fees and costs incurred with respect to any dispute arising from this Agreement. The parties will each bear their own attorney’s fees and costs in the event of any dispute.
11. Mortgagee Protection. This Agreement shall not prevent or limit the Developer, in any manner, at Developer’s sole discretion, from encumbering the Property or any portion thereof or any improvements thereon by any mortgage, deed of trust or other security device. The City acknowledges that the lender(s) providing such financing (“Mortgagee”) may require certain Agreement interpretations and agrees, upon request, from time to time, to meet with the Developer and representatives of such lender(s) to provide within a reasonable time period the City’s response to such requested interpretations. The City will not unreasonably withhold its consent to any such
403644764.2
16 requested interpretation, provided that such interpretation is consistent with the intent and purposes of this Agreement. Any Mortgagee of a mortgage or a beneficiary of a deed of trust or any successor or assign thereof, including, without limitation, the purchaser at a judicial or non-judicial foreclosure sale, or a person or entity who obtains title by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure on the Property shall be entitled to the following rights and privileges:
11.1 Mortgage Not Rendered Invalid. Neither entering into this Agreement nor a breach of or Default under this Agreement shall defeat, render invalid, diminish, or impair the priority of the lien of any mortgage or deed of trust on the Property made in good faith and for value. No Mortgagee shall have an obligation or duty under this Agreement to perform the Developer’s obligations, or to guarantee such performance, prior to Mortgagee taking title to all or a portion of the Property.
11.2 Request for Notice to Mortgagee. The Mortgagee of any mortgage or deed of trust encumbering the Property, or any part thereof, who has submitted a request in writing to the City in the manner specified herein for giving notices, shall be entitled to receive a copy of any Notice of Violation delivered to the Developer.
11.3 Mortgagee’s Time to Cure. The City shall provide a copy of any Notice of Violation to the Mortgagee that has requested such copy within ten (10) days of sending the Notice of Violation to the Developer. The Mortgagee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure the specified breach for a period of sixty (60) days after receipt of such Notice of Violation, or such longer period of time as may be specified in the Notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such breach shall be a breach which can only be remedied by such Mortgagee obtaining possession of the Property, or any portion thereof, and such Mortgagee seeks to obtain possession, such Mortgagee shall have until sixty (60) days after the date of obtaining such possession to cure or, if such breach cannot reasonably be cured within such period, to commence to cure such breach, provided that such breach is cured no later than one (1) year after Mortgagee obtains such possession of the Property.
11.4 Cure Rights. Any Mortgagee who takes title to all of the Property, or any part thereof, pursuant to foreclosure of the mortgage or deed of trust, or a deed in lieu of foreclosure, shall succeed to the rights and obligations of the Developer under this Agreement as to the Property or portion thereof so acquired; provided, however, in no event shall such Mortgagee be liable for any breaches, Defaults, or monetary obligations of the Developer arising prior to acquisition of title to the Property by such Mortgagee, except that any such Mortgagee shall not be entitled to a new building permit or new occupancy certificate until all delinquent and current fees and other monetary or non-monetary obligations due under this Agreement for the Property, or portion thereof acquired by such Mortgagee, have been satisfied.
11.5 Bankruptcy. If any Mortgagee is prohibited from commencing or prosecuting foreclosure or other appropriate proceedings in the nature of foreclosure by any process or injunction issued by any court or by reason of any action by any court having jurisdiction of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings involving the Developer, the times specified in Section 10 above shall be extended for the period of the prohibition, except that any such extension shall not
403644764.2
17 extend the Term of this Agreement.
11.6 Disaffirmation. If this Agreement is terminated as to any portion of the Property by reason of (i) any Default, or (ii) as a result of a bankruptcy proceeding, and this Agreement is disaffirmed by a receiver, liquidator, or trustee for the Developer or its property, the City, if requested by any Mortgagee, shall negotiate in good faith with such Mortgagee for a new development agreement for the Project as to such portion of the Property with the most senior Mortgagee requesting such new agreement. This Agreement does not require any Mortgagee or the City to enter into a new development agreement pursuant to this Section.
12. Estoppel Certificate. At any time and from time to time, the Developer may deliver written notice to City and City may deliver written notice to the Developer requesting that such Party certify in writing that, to the knowledge of the certifying Party: (i) this Agreement is in full force and effect and a binding obligation of the Parties; (ii) this Agreement has not been amended, or if amended, the identity of each amendment; and (iii) the requesting Party is not in breach of this Agreement, or if in breach, a description of each such breach. The Party receiving such a request shall execute and return the certificate within thirty (30) days following receipt of the notice. The failure of the City to deliver such a written notice within such time shall constitute a conclusive presumption against the City that, except as may be represented by the Developer, this Agreement is in full force and effect without modification, and that there are no uncured breaches or Defaults in the performance of the Developer. The Director shall be authorized to execute, on behalf of the City, any Estoppel Certificate requested by the Developer. City acknowledges that a certificate may be relied upon by successors in interest to the Developer who requested the certificate and by holders of record of deeds of trust on the portion of the Property in which that Developer has a legal interest.
13. Administration of Agreement.
13.1 Appeal of Staff Determinations. Any decision by City staff concerning the interpretation or administration of this Agreement or development of the Property in accordance herewith may be appealed by the Developer to the Planning Commission, and thereafter, if necessary, to the City Council pursuant to the Gardena Municipal Code. The Developer shall not seek judicial review of any staff decision without first having exhausted its remedies pursuant to this Section. Final determinations by the City Council are subject to judicial review subject to the restrictions and limitations of California law.
13.2 Operating Memoranda. The provisions of this Agreement require a close degree of cooperation between City and Developer. During the Term of this Agreement, clarifications to this Agreement and the Applicable Rules may be appropriate with respect to the details of performance of City and Developer. If and when, from time to time, during the term of this Agreement, City and Developer agree that such clarifications are necessary or appropriate, they shall effectuate such clarification through a memorandum approved in writing by City and Developer (the “Operating Memoranda”), which, after execution, shall be attached hereto and become part of this Agreement and the same may be further clarified from time to time as necessary with future written approval by City and the Developer. Operating Memoranda are not
403644764.2
18 intended to and shall not constitute an amendment to this Agreement but are mere ministerial clarifications, therefore, public notices and hearings are not required. The City Attorney shall be authorized, upon consultation with, and approval of, the Developer, to determine whether a requested clarification may be effectuated pursuant to this Section or whether the requested clarification is of such character to constitute an amendment hereof which requires compliance with the provisions of Section 14 below. The authority to enter into such Operating Memoranda is hereby delegated to the Director, and the Director is hereby authorized to execute any Operating Memoranda hereunder without further City Council action. A minor change to the Specific Plan as set forth in Section 8.6 thereof does not require an amendment to this Agreement.
13.3 Certificate of Performance. Upon the completion of the Project, or the completion of development of any parcel within the Project, or upon completion of performance of this Agreement or its earlier revocation and termination, the City shall provide the Developer, upon the Developer’s request, with a statement (“Certificate of Performance”) evidencing said completion or revocation and the release of the Developer from further obligations hereunder, except for any ongoing obligations hereunder. The Certificate of Performance shall be signed by the appropriate agents of the Developer and the City and shall be recorded in the official records of Los Angeles County, California. Such Certificate of Performance is not a notice of completion as referred to in California Civil Code § 3093.
14. Amendment or Termination by Mutual Consent. Except as otherwise set forth herein, this Agreement may only be amended or terminated, in whole or in part, by mutual written consent of City and the Developer, and upon compliance with the provisions of Government Code § 65867.
15. Indemnification/Defense.
15.1 Indemnification. The Developer agrees to indemnify and hold the City harmless from and against any claim, action, damages, costs (including, without limitation, attorney’s fees), injuries, or liability, arising from the City’s approval of the Project, this Agreement, Developer’s performance of this Agreement, and all procedures with approving this Agreement (collectively, “Discretionary Approvals”), except to the extent such is a result of: (i) any claims arising from or in connection with Special Events that are not due to Developer’s sole negligence or intentional misconduct, or (ii) the City’s sole negligence or intentional misconduct. Should the City be named in any suit, or should any claim be brought against it by suit or otherwise, whether the same be groundless or not, arising out of the Discretionary Approvals, Developer agrees to defend the City (at the City’s request and with counsel satisfactory to the City) and will indemnify the City for any judgment rendered against it or any sums paid out in settlement or otherwise, except to the extent such action is a result of the City’s sole negligence or intentional misconduct. For purposes of this Section, “the City” includes the City of Gardena’s elected officials, appointed officials, officers, consultants, and employees.
15.2 Defense of Agreement. If the City accepts Developer’s indemnification and defense as provided in Section 15.1 above, the City agrees to and shall timely take all actions which are necessary or required to uphold the validity and enforceability of this Agreement, the Discretionary Approvals, Project Approvals, Development Standards, and the Applicable Rules.
403644764.2
19 16. Cooperation in the Event of Legal Challenge.
16.1 Third-Party Challenges. In the event of any administrative, legal, or equitable action or other proceeding instituted by any person or entity not a party to the Agreement challenging the validity of any provision of this Agreement, challenging any Approval, or challenging the sufficiency of any environmental review of either this Agreement or any Approval under CEQA (each a “Third-Party Challenge”), each party must cooperate in the defense of such Third-Party Challenge, in accordance with this Section. Developer agrees to pay City’s costs of defending a Third-Party Challenge, including all court costs and reasonable attorney’s fees expended by City (including the time and cost of the City Attorney so long as the City Attorney is not an employee of the City) in defense of any Third-Party Challenge. Developer may select its own legal counsel to represent Developer’s interests in any Third-Party Challenge at Developer’s sole cost and expense. City agrees that it will not enter into a settlement agreement to any ThirdParty Challenge without Developer’s written consent. Developer’s obligation to pay City’s costs in the defense of a Third-Party Challenge shall not extend to those costs incurred on appeal, if Developer notifies the City is writing that it does not wish to pursue the appeal.
16.2 Third-Party Challenges Related to the Applicability of City Laws. The provisions of this Section will apply only in the event of a legal or equitable action or other proceeding, before a court of competent jurisdiction, instituted by any person or entity not a party to the Agreement challenging the applicability to the Project or Property of a conflicting City Law (a “Third-Party Enforcement Action”):
16.2.1 In the event of a Third-Party Enforcement Action, City must: (i) promptly notify Developer of such action or proceeding; and (ii) stipulate to Developer’s intervention as a party to such action or proceeding unless Developer has already been named as a respondent or real party in interest to such action or proceeding. In no event will City take any action that would frustrate, hinder, or otherwise complicate Developer’s efforts to intervene, join or otherwise participate as a party to any Third-Party Enforcement Action. As requested by Developer, City must use its best efforts to ensure that Developer is permitted to intervene, join or otherwise participate as a party to any Third-Party Enforcement Action. If, for any reason, Developer is not permitted to intervene, join or otherwise participate as a party to any Third-Party Enforcement Action, the parties to this Agreement agree to cooperate, to the maximum extent permitted by law, in the defense of such action or proceeding. For purposes of this Section, the required cooperation between the parties includes, without limitation, developing litigation strategies, preparing litigation briefs and other related documents, conferring on all aspects of the litigation, developing settlement strategies, and, to the extent permitted by law, jointly making significant decisions related to the relevant litigation, throughout the course thereof.
16.2.2 City’s costs of defending any Third-Party Enforcement Action, including all court costs, and reasonable attorney’s fees expended by City (including the time and cost of the City Attorney so long as the City Attorney is not an employee of the City) in defense of any ThirdParty Enforcement Action (the “Enforcement Action Defense Costs”), will be paid in accordance with this Agreement. The Enforcement Action Defense Costs shall extend to, and Developer will be obligated to pay, any costs incurred on appeal unless Developer notifies the City in writing that
403644764.2
20 it does not wish to pursue the appeal.
16.2.3 City must not enter into a settlement agreement or take any other action to resolve any Third Party Enforcement Action without Developer’s written consent. City cannot, without Developer’s written consent, take any action that would frustrate, hinder or otherwise prevent Developer’s efforts to settle or otherwise resolve any Third-Party Enforcement Action.
16.2.4 Provided that City complies with this Section and provided that Developer is a party to the relevant Third-Party Enforcement Action, Developer agrees to be bound by any final judgment (i.e., following all available appeals) arising out of a Third-Party Enforcement Action and further agrees that no default under this Agreement will arise if such final judgment requires City to apply to the Project or Project Site a City Law that conflicts with Applicable Law or this Agreement.
17. Time of Essence. Time is of the essence for each provision of this Agreement of which time is an element.
18. Effective Date. This Agreement shall become operative on the date the Enabling Ordinance approving this Development Agreement becomes effective (the “Effective Date”) pursuant to Government Code Section 36937.
19. Notices. Any notice that a party is required or may desire to give the other must be in writing and may be sent by: i) personal delivery; or ii) by deposit in the United States mail, postage paid, registered or certified mail, return receipt requested; or iii) by overnight delivery using a nationally recognized overnight courier, providing proof of delivery; or iv) by facsimile, evidenced by confirmed receipt; or v) by electronic delivery, evidenced by confirmed receipt, addressed as follows:

AGENDA REPORT SUMMARY
Agenda Item No. 16.A
Section: DEPARTMENTAL
ITEMS - PUBLIC WORKS
Meeting Date: February 25, 2025
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE GARDENA CITY COUNCIL AGENDA TITLE: Award Construction Contract for the Rowley Park Improvements Basketball Court Rehab Phase 1 - Demolition, Drainage, Electrical and Site Furnishing Project, JN 530, to Zeco, Inc. in the amount of $588,537.55, Approve the Project Plans & Specifications, 15% Project Contingency, and Declare California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Exemption.
COUNCIL ACTION REQUIRED:
Staff Recommendation:
Award Construction Contract
Approve Project Plans and Specifications
Approve Project Contingency
Declare CEQA Exemption
RECOMMENDATION AND STAFF SUMMARY:
The Rowley Park Basketball courts are located at 13220 Van Ness Ave. Phase 1 of the project includes upgrading existing lighting to high efficiency LED fixtures, new upgraded poles/fixtures, replacement of basketball fixtures, drainage improvements, concrete repair, and replacement of sand in playground with poured in place resilient surfacing.
Upon completion of Phase 1, the City will go out to bid for Phase 2 of the project, which will consist of the resurfacing and restriping of the basketball courts. One of the courts will be restriped for pickleball activities.
The following six (6) bids for the Phase 1 improvements were received on January 30, 2025:
Organization Bid Amount
1. Green Giant Landscape, Inc., La Habra $483,352.14 (Non-responsive)
2. Zeco, Inc., Yorba Linda $588,537.55
3. Aguilar & Calderon Corp., Whittier $632,945.14
4. We R Builders, Inc., La Crescenta $639,902.14
5. KASA Construction, Inc. Chino $715,558.14
6. US Builders and Consultants, Inc. Irvine $848,390.14 Green Giant Landscape (GGL) submitted the apparent lowest bid in the amount of $483,352.14. However, their bid was deemed non-responsive because GGL does not hold a C-10 electrical license and failed to list an electrical licensed subcontractor. Per State Contract Code 4104(a), the general contractor is required to list a subcontractor who will perform work, labor, or services for the prime contractor in connection with the construction of the project amount equal to or exceeding one-half of one percent (0.5%) of the prime contractor's total bid. GGL did not fulfill this requirement. Therefore, Zeco Inc., emerged as the lowest responsible bidder. They are a state licensed contractor with verified successful construction experience in the field and will be required to meet all bonding and financial standards. The tentative construction start date is April 2025 with an anticipated project completion in August 2025.
Zeco Inc. had mathematical errors on their bid schedule that resulted in a $9.28 increase on their total bid amount. The corrected total bid amount is $588,537.55. Zeco Inc. remains the second lowest bidder with the corrected total bid amount.
Staff respectfully recommends that the City Council award the construction contract for the Gardena Rowley Park Basketball Rehabilitation Project, JN 530, to Zeco Inc., in the amount of $588,537.55, and additionally:
a. Approve the project plans and specifications.
b. Approve a 15% of the construction award amount, $88,000, to be utilized for the project contingency.
c. Declare this project to be categorically exempt under the CEQA, Class 1, Section 15301 (d), as rehabilitation of existing facilities.

WITHDRAWAL OF PROPOSAL
The Proposal may be withdrawn by the bidder by means of a written request, signed by the bidder or its properly authorized representative.

v
MODIFICATIONS AND ALTERNATIVE PROPOSALS
Unauthorized conditions, limitations, or provisions attached to the Proposal will render it informal and may be grounds for its rejection as non-responsive. The completed Proposal forms shall be without interlineations, alterations, or erasures. Alternative proposals will not be considered unless specifically requested. Oral, telegraphic, or telephonic proposals or modifications will not be considered.
DISCREPANCIES IN PROPOSALS
In the event there is more than one bid item in a Bidding Schedule, the bidder shall furnish a price for all bid items in the Schedule, and failure to do so will render the Proposal informal and may be grounds for its rejection as non-responsive. The bidder shall state in words and figures the unit prices or the specific sums as the case may be, for which it proposes to supply the labor, materials, supplies, or machinery, and completely perform the Contract. The total amount of each item bid and the total amount of the bid shall be stated in words and figures.
In case of any discrepancy between the words and the figures, the words shall prevail. If the unit price and the total amount named by a bidder for any items are not in agreement, the unit price alone will be considered as representing the bidder's intention and the total will be corrected to conform thereto.
PROPOSAL GUARANTEE – BIDDER’S SECURITY
Each bidder shall submit with his Proposal cash, an unconditional certified or cashier's check, or a bidder's bond, in the sum of the percentage of the bid stated in the Notice Inviting Bids, payable to the City as a guarantee that the bidder will, if its Proposal is accepted, execute the Contract and furnish a satisfactory Faithful Performance Bond, a satisfactory Payment Bond and insurance certificates as specified herein.
If a bidder to whom an award is made, fails or refuses to sign the Contract or furnish the required bonds and certificates, all within the time stated in Section 2-1.5 of the Special Provisions herein, the funds represented by said cash, check or bidder's bond shall be forfeited and become and remain the property of the City; the amount thereof being agreed to by the bidder and the surety as a bid bond forfeiture due to the City because of the delay in the execution of the Contract and in the performance of work thereunder, resulting from such failure or refusal, except that if the City awards the contract to the next lowest responsive responsible bidder, only that portion of the bidder's security equal to the difference between the two bids will be forfeited.
A Bid Bond must be obtained from a corporate surety authorized to do business as such in the State of California as an “admitted surety insurer” and shall be on the form furnished by the City or one substantially in conformance with it. Certified or cashier's checks must be drawn on a solvent state or nationally chartered bank or branch thereof in the State of California. The liability of the City in connection with the checks shall be limited to the return of the checks (without interest) as provided in Section 2-1.6 of the Special Provisions bound herein.
DISQUALIFICATION OF BIDDERS
A person, firm, or corporation shall NOT be allowed to make or file, or to be interested in, more than one bid, except an alternative bid when specifically requested; provided, however, a person, firm, or corporation who has submitted a sub-proposal to a bidder vi
submitting a Proposal, or who has quoted prices on materials to such bidders, is not thereby disqualified from submitting a sub-proposal or from quoting prices to other bidders submitting proposals, or from submitting a Proposal as a prime contractor.
Similarly, failure to comply with the registration requirements of Labor Code Section 1725.5, as further described in the Notice Inviting Bids, will disqualify a bidder.
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS
The bidder's attention is directed to the Special Provisions and Technical Provisions bound herein for additional requirements of the Proposal and Contract Documents.
CONTRACT DOCUMENTS
Contract Documents are to be submitted within twenty-one (21) calendar days AFTER award of contract unless extended by agreement of the City. Failure to timely submit executed Contract Documents may be grounds for rejecting the bid award and forfeiture of the bid security. See enclosed documents commencing on page CD-1.

DECLARATION OF ELIGIBILITY TO CONTRACT
[Labor Code Section 1777.1; Public Contract Code Section 6109] The undersigned, a duly authorized representative of the contractor, certifies and declares that:
1. The undersigned contractor is aware of Sections 1777.1 and 1777.7 of the California Labor Code, which prohibit a contractor or subcontractor who has been found by the Labor Commissioner or the Director of Industrial Relations to be in violation of certain provisions of the Labor Code, from bidding on, being awarded, or performing work as a subcontractor on a public works project for specified periods of time.
2. The undersigned contractor is not ineligible to bid on, be awarded or perform work as a subcontractor on a public works project by virtue of Sections 1771.1 or 1777.7 of the California Labor Code or any other provision of law.
3. The undersigned contractor is aware of California Public Contract Code Section 6109, which states:
“(a) A public entity, as defined in Section 1100 [of the Public Contract Code], may not permit a contractor or subcontractor who is ineligible to bid or work on, or be awarded, a public works project pursuant to Section 1777.1 or 1777.7 of the Labor Code to bid on, be awarded, or perform work as a subcontractor on, a public works project. Every public works project shall contain a provision prohibiting a contractor from performing work on a public works project with a subcontractor who is ineligible to perform work on the public works project pursuant to Section 1771.1 or 1777.7 of the Labor Code.”
“(b) Any contract on a public works project entered into between a contractor and a debarred subcontractor is void as a matter of law. A debarred subcontractor may not receive any public money for performing work as a subcontractor on a public works contract, and any public money that may have been paid to a debarred subcontractor by a contractor on the project shall be returned to the awarding body. The contractor shall be responsible for the payment of wages to workers of a debarred subcontractor who has been allowed to work on the project.”

(Continued)
INSTRUCTIONS FOR CERTIFICATION
1. By signing and submitting this proposal, the prospective primary participant is providing the certification set out below.
2. The inability of a person to provide the certification required below will not necessarily result in denial of participation in this covered transaction. The prospective participant shall submit an explanation of why it cannot provide the certification set out below. The certification or explanation will be considered in connection with the department or agency's determination whether to enter into this transaction. However, failure of the prospective primary participant to furnish a certification or an explanation shall disqualify such person from participation in this transaction.
3. The certification in this clause is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when the department or agency determined to enter into this transaction. If it is later determined that the prospective primary participant knowingly rendered an erroneous certification, in addition to other remedies available to the Federal Government, the department or agency may terminate this transaction for cause or default.
4. The prospective primary participant shall provide immediate written notice to the department or agency to which this proposal is submitted if at any time the prospective primary participant learns that its certification was erroneous when submitted or has become erroneous by reason of changed circumstances.
5. The terms "covered transaction," "debarred," "suspended," "ineligible," "lower tier covered transaction," "participant," "person," "primary covered transaction," "principal," "proposal," and "voluntarily excluded," as used in this clause, have the meanings set out in the Definitions and Coverage sections of the rules implementing Executive Order 12549. You may contact the department or agency to which this proposal is submitted for assistance in obtaining a copy of those regulations (13 CFR Part 145).
6. The prospective primary participant agrees by submitting this proposal that, should the proposed covered transaction be entered into, it shall not knowingly enter into any lower tier covered transaction with a person who is debarred, suspended, declared ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from participation in this covered transaction, unless authorized by the department or agency entering into this transaction.
7. The prospective primary participant further agrees by submitting this proposal that it will include the clause titled "Certification Regarding Debarment, Suspension, Ineligibility and Voluntary Exclusion-- Lower Tier Covered Transactions," provided by the department or agency entering into this covered transaction, without modification, in all lower tier covered transactions and in all solicitations for lower tier covered transactions.
8. A participant in a covered transaction may rely upon a certification of a prospective participant in a lower tier covered transaction that it is not debarred, suspended, ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from the covered transaction, unless it knows that the certification is erroneous. A participant may decide the method and frequency by which it determines the ineligibility of its principals. Each participant may, but is not required to, check the Nonprocurement List.
9. Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be construed to require establishment of a system of records in order to render in good faith the certification required by this clause. The knowledge and information of a participant is not required to exceed that which is normally possessed by a prudent person in the ordinary course of business dealings.
10. Except for transactions authorized under paragraph 6 of these instructions, if a participant in a covered transaction knowingly enters into a lower tier covered transaction with a person who is suspended, debarred, ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from participation in this transaction, in addition to other remedies available to the Federal Government, the department or agency may terminate this transaction for cause or default.

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.

1-7.5 Award of Contract. After the Proposals have been publicly opened and read aloud, they will be checked for accuracy and compliance with all provisions as specified herein.
The Agency reserves the right to reject any or all bids and to waive any informality or irregularity in any bid received and to be the sole judge of the merits of the respective GP-3
bids received.
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.
GP-4
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 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.

PART 3 - EXECUTION
3.1 DEMOLITION AND SITE CLEARING
A. The CONTRACTOR shall coordinate with Contractor Arborist, and City Inspector to accomplish construction of the park as it relates to existing trees and shrubs, preservation and protection of these resources.
B. The following work shall be accomplished before any demolition or site clearing activity occurs in the area encompassed by a line 10 feet outside the dripline of any tree to be protected in the project.
1. Conduct a pre-construction meeting with the Contractor, City Inspector, Parks Project Manager, City arborist, Contractor Arborist, and Landscape Architect to review construction procedures, access, haul routes and tree protection measures. All trees and shrubs to be preserved and those projected to be removed shall be tagged for this meeting and Contractor shall receive approval of those designations prior to any potentially damaging work being done in the vicinity of those plants.
2. Contractor and Contractor Arborist shall stake the limits of tree and shrub preservation zone (TPZ) and obtain approval from the City Inspector, Parks Project Manager, and City arborist.
3. Contractor shall install six-foot high chain link fences with posts supported on stands to delineate the TPZ. Fence shall remain upright and in good condition until all work has been completed. Fencing may not be removed or relocated without the approval of the City Inspector, Parks Project Manager, and City arborist. Fencing shall be approved by City Inspector, Parks Project Manager, and City arborist prior to purchasing, delivery, and installation. Fencing shall be kept in original installed condition throughout the duration of construction. If fencing is ripped, torn, removed, or dislocated during construction, Contractor shall repair immediately upon notification by the City Inspector, Parks Project Manager, and City arborist.
4. Contractor shall report any damage to a tree or shrub due to construction activities to the City Inspector, Parks Project Manager, and City arborist within one (1) hour of the incident so that remedial action can be taken and appropriate treatments can be applied immediately. City Parks shall coordinate with City Inspector, Parks Project Manager, and City arborist and Contractor Arborist to determine replacement as required. All remedies shall be at the Contractor's expense.
5. When construction access roads, paths or activities must occur over the root zone area of a tree, a 6-inch bed of mulch (wood chips) shall be placed over the root zone area of the tree to prevent soil compaction.
The mulch material shall be replenished to maintain its thickness of 6 inches at all times, until the end of
CITY OF GARDENA
ROWLEY PARK BASKETBALL REHABILITATION
TREE AND LANDSCAPE PRESERVATION 32 34 01 -2
the construction activity, after which it shall be removed.
6. When temporary clearance is needed for access under a tree, branches shall be carefully tied back as directed by City Inspector, Parks Project Manager, and City arborist.
3.2 CONSTRUCTION
A. Contractor shall make every effort to preserve existing trees and shrubs during the course of the project. No materials, equipment, spoils, waste or washout water shall be deposited, stored or parked within the TPZ.
Undue compaction of the TPZ and root zones shall be avoided at all times.
1. ACTIVITIES PROHIBITED WITHIN THE TPZ INCLUDE:
a. Parking vehicles or equipment, storage of building materials, refuse, or excavated soils, or dumping poisonous material on or around trees, shrubs and roots. Poisonous materials include, but are not limited to paint, petroleum products, concrete, stucco mix, dirty water or any material that may be harmful to plant health
b. The use of tree trunks as a backstop, winch support, anchorage, as a temporary power pole, signpost or other similar function
c. Cutting of tree roots by utility trenching, foundation digging, placement of curbs and trenches, or other miscellaneous excavations without prior approval of the project arborist d. Soil disturbance or grade change
e. Drainage changes
2. ACTIVITIES PERMITTED OR REQUIRED WITHIN THE TREE PROTECTIVE ZONE INCLUDE:
a. Mulch: during construction, wood chips may be spread within the TPZ to a four-to-six-inch depth, leaving the trunk clear of mulch. this will aid in inadvertent soil compaction and moisture loss. Mulch shall be 2-inch unpainted, untreated shredded wood or approved material. b. Root buffer: when areas under the tree canopy cannot be fenced, a temporary buffer is required and shall cover the root zone and remain in place at the specified thickness until the final grading stage.
The protective buffer shall consist of shredded wood chips spread over the roots at a minimum of 6- inches in depth (keeping the trunk clear of chips) and layered by 3/4-inch quarry gravel to stabilize the 3/4-inch plywood sheets laid on top. Steel plates can also be used. c. Irrigation, aeration, fertilization, mycorrhizae treatments or other beneficial practices that have been specifically approved for use within the TPZ may be accomplished prior to construction with observation by City Arborist.
B. Horizontal directional drilling (HDD) shall be used when installation of utility lines will interfere with tree roots within the area encompassed by a line 10' outside the dripline. If trenching appears to be unavoidable, Contractor shall meet with the City to discuss construction means and methods and receive approval before starting work. Contractor shall avoid laying back trench, so root systems are not impacted and soil is not compacted. An “approved equal” method for utility installation shall be considered.
C. TREE ROOTS
1. Root Severance: No roots shall be cut without approval of City Parks. If roots are approved to be cut, they shall be cut cleanly with a sharp saw to sound wood and flush with the trench side. All ripped and/or torn roots shall be cut clean. Extreme care / caution shall be taken over / around all roots.
2. Excavation: Any approved excavation, demolition, or extraction of material shall be performed with equipment that is placed outside the TPZ. Hand digging is a permitted method for excavation within the TPZ.
3. Heavy Equipment: Use of backhoes, ditch-witches, steel tread tractors or other heavy vehicles within the
CITY OF GARDENA
ROWLEY PARK BASKETBALL REHABILITATION
TREE AND LANDSCAPE PRESERVATION 32 34 01 -3
TPZ is prohibited unless approved by CITY Parks. if allowed, a protective root buffer is required.
4. No vehicles may park within the TPZ.
D. COMPACTION
1. There are three conditions that will require compaction. Refer to Green Book section 301 and / or 306 and Cal Trans 2311 and Standard Plan #1801.
a. CONDITION 1:
• Where the underground utilities are installed under pavement (roadway, sidewalk or other existing paved surface), backfill the trench and compact to Standard Plans for Public Works Construction requirements.
b. CONDITION 2:
• Where the underground utilities are installed in soil under canopy (drip line) of existing trees, backfill the trench up to 18-inches from finish grade and compact to 90% relative compaction.
The top 18-inches shall be left uncompacted to less than 90%, to promote root generation.
Generally, wheel rolling with a loader is sufficient. However, Contractor is responsible to repair soil settlement to meet existing grade, and to provide adequate drainage to the area. c. CONDITION 3:
• Where the underground utilities are installed in open landscape areas, outside of tree drip lines, backfill the trench to finish grade, and compact to Standard Public Works Construction requirements. Contractor is responsible to repair soil settlement to meet existing grade, and to provide adequate drainage to the area.
2. Soil Compaction Mitigation: To prevent negligent encroachment into the tree protection zone, trees to be preserved during construction must always have the specified type of protection fences in place. Removal of fences, even temporarily, to allow deliveries or equipment access is not allowed unless approved by City Arborist and a root buffer is installed. The root buffer components: mulch, gravel, and plywood, must be maintained continually to assure its effectiveness against soil compaction.
3. Dust Control: During periods of extended drought, wind or grading, trunks, limbs, and foliage shall spray with water to remove accumulated construction dust, as directed by City Arborist.
E. TREE MAINTENANCE DURING CONSTRUCTION
1. Soil Compaction Mitigation: To prevent negligent encroachment into the tree protection zone, trees to be preserved during construction must always have the specified type of protection fences in place. Removal of fences, even temporarily, to allow deliveries or equipment access is not allowed unless approved by CITY ARBORIST and a root buffer is installed. The root buffer components: mulch, gravel and plywood, must be maintained continually to assure its effectiveness against soil compaction.
2. Dust Control: During periods of extended drought, wind or grading, trunks, limbs and foliage shall spray with water to remove accumulated construction dust, as directed by City Arborist.
F. DAMAGE TO TREES AND SHRUBS
1. Reporting Injury to Trees: Any damage or injury to trees and shrubs shall be reported as soon as possible to the City Inspector, Parks Project Manager, and City arborist. Injuries to roots and branches must be repaired immediately.
2. If a tree or shrub designated to remain is removed or irreversibly damaged as determined by the City Arborist the Contractor may be required to install a replacement tree or shrub matching in size, quality, and variety. If an acceptable replacement tree or shrub is not available, the Contractor may be required to pay damages to City Parks for the value of the damaged plant in accordance with the guidelines set forth in the Guide for Plant Appraisal, 9th edition, using the trunk formula method.

GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION FOR
PROPOSED NEW LIGHT STANDARDS, BASKETBALL BACKBOARD POLES,
AND LIMITED PERCOLATION TESTING
ROWLEY PARK, CITY OF GARDENA, CALIFORNIA
INTRODUCTION
Petra Geosciences, Inc. (Petra) is submitting herewith the results of our geotechnical investigation for the proposed new light standards, basketball posts, concrete flatwork, and limited percolation testing. The purposes of this investigation were to determine the nature of surface and subsurface soils, to evaluate their in-place characteristics, and to provide geotechnical recommendations with respect to site clearing and grading, and for the design and construction of other improvements.
SITE LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION
The subject site consists of an approximate 2.5-acre section in the northwest corner of Rowley Park. The site currently consists of several concrete basketball courts, a concrete skatepark, children’s play equipment, several concrete walkways, grass landscaping, and several rows of trees. The site is bounded on the west by Van Ness Avenue, on the north by 132nd Street, and on the east and south by the larger portions of Rowley Park consisting of parking areas, athletic fields, and open landscape. Along the southern boundary of the subject site lies a community center as well as a sports gymnasium. A small steel shade structure lies adjacent to the gymnasium.
PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION AND GRADING
Proposed Construction
Although detailed site plans have not been provided at this time, based on preliminary project discussions, it is our understanding that the existing park will remain relatively intact with several site improvements.
The site improvements are likely to include new light structures, basketball backboard poles, and an improved drainage/infiltration system.
SITE RECONNAISSANCE AND SUBSURFACE EXPLORATION
Our firm performed a site reconnaissance and subsurface exploration on June 15, 2023. Our site reconnaissance consisted of the visual evaluation of the existing surface conditions. Existing surface conditions within the site that were observed during our site reconnaissance are described in the “Site Location and Description” section of this report.
Our subsurface exploration of the subject site consisted of the drilling of four hand-auger exploratory borings to depths ranging from approximately 7.5 to 11 feet below the existing ground surface. Soil materials encountered were visually classified and logged in general accordance with the Unified Soil BGB DESIGN GROUP September 26, 2023
