PW Agreement – LONE HILL BRIDGE OVER SAN DIMAS WASH BRIDGE REHABILITATION, PLAN NO. 1138 ARTICLE 7. ENFORCEMENT OF AGREEMENT AND TERMINATION
7.1 California Law.
This Agreement shall be interpreted, construed and governed both as to validity and to performance of the Parties in accordance with the laws of the State of California. Legal actions concerning any dispute, claim or matter arising out of or in relation to this Agreement shall be instituted in the Superior Court of the County of Los Angeles, State of California, or any other appropriate court in such county, and Contractor covenants and agrees to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such court in the event of such action. In the event of litigation in a U.S. District Court, venue shall lie exclusively in the Central District of California, in the County of Los Angeles, State of California.
7.2 Disputes.
(a) Default; Cure. In the event that Contractor is in default under the terms of this Agreement, the City shall not have any obligation or duty to continue compensating Contractor for any work performed after the date of default. Instead, the City may give notice to Contractor of the default and the reasons for the default. The notice shall include the timeframe in which Contractor may cure the default. This timeframe is presumptively thirty (30) days, but may be extended, though not reduced, if circumstances warrant, in the sole and absolute discretion of the Project Manager. During the period of time that Contractor is in default, the City shall hold all invoices and shall proceed with payment on such invoices only when the default is cured to the satisfaction of the City. In the alternative, the City may, in its sole discretion, elect to pay some or all of the outstanding invoices during the period of default. If Contractor does not cure the default, the City may take necessary steps to terminate this Agreement under this Article. Any failure on the part of the City to give notice of the Contractor’s default shall not be deemed to result in a waiver of the City’s legal rights or any rights arising out of any provision of this Agreement. (b) Dispute Resolution. This Agreement is subject to the provisions of Article 1.5 (commencing at Section 20104) of Division 2, Part 3 of the California Public Contract Code regarding the resolution of public works claims of less than $375,000. Additionally, Section 9204 of the California Public Contract Code prescribes a process for negotiation and mediation to resolve disputes on construction claims. Article 1.5 mandates certain procedures for the filing of claims and supporting documentation by the Contractor, for the response to such claims by the City, for a mandatory meet and confer conference upon the request of the Contractor, for mandatory non-binding mediation in the event litigation is commenced, and for mandatory judicial arbitration upon the failure to resolve the dispute through mediation. This Agreement hereby incorporates the provisions of Article 1.5 as though fully set forth herein and the intent of this Section is to implement Sections 20104 et seq. and Section 9204 of the California Public Contract Code with respect to any such claims by Contractor. This Section shall be construed to be consistent with said statutes.
For purposes of these procedures, the term “claim(s)” means a separate demand by the Contractor, after the City has denied Contractor’s timely and duly made request for payment for extra work and/or a time extension, for (A) a time extension, (B) payment of money or damages arising from Docusign Envelope ID: E3EDE53A-5ED5-8348-83F7-286C41DB33C3 Revised 11/2025

In the event that any claim is made by a third party, the amount or validity of which is disputed by Contractor, or any indebtedness shall exist which shall appear to be the basis for a claim of lien, City may withhold from any payment due, without liability for interest because of such withholding, an amount sufficient to cover such claim. The failure of City to exercise such right to deduct or to withhold shall not, however, affect the obligations of the Contractor to insure, indemnify, and protect City as elsewhere provided herein.
7.4 Waiver.
Waiver by any Party to this Agreement of any term, condition, or covenant of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other term, condition, or covenant. Waiver by any Party of any breach of the provisions of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other provision or a waiver of any subsequent breach or violation of any provision of this Agreement.
Acceptance by City of any work or services by Contractor shall not constitute a waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy by a non-defaulting Party on any default shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver.
Any waiver by either Party of any default must be in writing and shall not be a waiver of any other default concerning the same or any other provision of this Agreement.
7.5 Rights and Remedies are Cumulative.
Except with respect to rights and remedies expressly declared to be exclusive in this Agreement, the rights and remedies of the Parties are cumulative and the exercise by either Party of one or more of such rights or remedies shall not preclude the exercise by it, at the same or different times, of any other rights or remedies for the same default or any other default by the other Party.
7.6 Legal Action.
In addition to any other rights or remedies, either Party may take legal action, in law or in equity, to cure, correct or remedy any default, to recover damages for any default, to compel specific performance of this Agreement, to obtain declaratory or injunctive relief, or to obtain any other remedy consistent with the purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, Contractor shall file a claim pursuant to Government Code Sections 905 et seq. and 910 et seq., in order to pursue a legal action under this Agreement.

Since the determination of actual damages for any delay in performance of this Agreement would be extremely difficult or impractical to determine in the event of a breach of this Agreement, the Contractor and its sureties shall be liable for and shall pay to the City the sum of $1,000 (One Thousand Dollars) as liquidated damages for each working day of delay in the performance of any of the services required hereunder, as specified in the Schedule of Performance (Exhibit “D”). The City may withhold from any monies payable on account of services performed by the Contractor any accrued liquidated damages.

The City reserves the right to terminate this Contract at any time, with or without cause, upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to Contractor, except that where termination is due to the fault of the Contractor, the period of notice may be such shorter time as may be determined by the Contract Officer. Upon receipt of any notice of termination, Contractor shall immediately cease all services hereunder except such as may be specifically approved by the Contract Officer. Except where the Contractor has initiated termination, the Contractor shall be entitled to compensation for all services rendered prior to the effective date of the notice of termination and for any services authorized by the Contract Officer thereafter in accordance with the Schedule of Compensation or such as may be approved by the Contract Officer, except as provided in Section 7.3. In the event the Contractor has initiated termination, the Contractor shall be entitled to compensation only for the reasonable value of the work product actually produced hereunder. In the event of termination without cause pursuant to this Section, the terminating Party need not provide the non-terminating Party with the opportunity to cure pursuant to Section 7.2.
7.9 Termination for Default of Contractor.
If termination is due to the failure of the Contractor to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, City may, after compliance with the provisions of Section 7.2, take over the work and prosecute the same to completion by contract or otherwise, and the Contractor shall be liable to the extent that the total cost for completion of the services required hereunder exceeds the compensation herein stipulated (provided that the City shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate such damages), and City may withhold any payments to the Contractor for the purpose of set-off or partial payment of the amounts owed the City as previously stated.
7.10 Attorneys’ Fees.

TO: Mayor and Council Members DATE: August 25, 2026
FROM: Public Works DISTRICT(S): Citywide
SUBJECT: Consideration of Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement for Public Works Services with Best Contracting Services, Inc. for the San Gabriel Plant Roof Repairs Project
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council:
1. Approve Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement for Public Works Services with Best Contracting Services, Inc. for the San Gabriel Plant Roof Repairs Project to expand the Scope of Work and increase the Contract Sum by $23,805, from $46,854 to an amount not to exceed of $70,659; and

STRATEGIC FOCUS AREAS
Goal 3 - New + Revitalized Facilities
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The San Gabriel Water Plant property was originally constructed in 1920. Well Building #12E and the Storage Building located at the San Gabriel Water Plan have a history of on-going roof leaks. This has caused the wooden roof frame structure to rot in isolated locations. Repair/replacement of the roofs and wood frame were recommended in the Bureau Veritas Facility Condition Assessment completed in 2023.
Best Contracting Services, Inc. has successfully completed other roofing projects for the City of Glendora and has provided a proposal in the amount of $46,854 to complete the Well Building #12E and the Storage Building roof replacement project. The City awarded an agreement to Best Contracting Services, Inc. on April 15, 2026.
Subsequent to the award of the original contract, it was determined that Well Building 12E required additional improvements to provide proper cooling of the well pumps and better access for maintenance work. The proposed Amendment No. 1 increases the contract sum to a total of $70,659 for this additional work.
This project is a “Level 1”project per GMC § 2.40.150(b)(5). Therefore, competitive bidding is not required, and the work may be completed by negotiated contract. In order to complete this project in a timely manner, Staff recommends Council approve Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement with Best Contracting Services, Inc. for the San Gabriel Plant Roof Repairs Project
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY / PREVIOUS ACTIONS
The alternative bid procedures in Public Contact Code (PCC) § 22030 apply “only to a public agency whose governing board has by resolution elected to become subject to the uniform construction cost accounting procedures set forth in Article 2, commencing with PCC Section 22010, and which has notified the Controller of that election.”
The Glendora City Council adopted Resolution CC 2024-20 on the 28th day of May 2024, whereby the City elected to become subject to the uniform construction cost accounting procedures. The State Controller’s Office acknowledged receipt of the resolution in a letter dated July 1, 2024.
Pursuant to PCC § 22032(a), public projects of seventy-five thousand dollars ($75,000) or less may be performed by the employees of a public agency by force account, by negotiated contract, or by purchase order.
Glendora Municipal Code (GMC) § 2.40.150(b)(5) defines "Level 1 projects" as public projects below the monetary threshold of PCC § 22032(a). In addition, GMC § 2.40.150(c)(1) states that Level 1 projects may be awarded by negotiated contract or by purchase order without competitive bidding.
The City awarded an agreement to Best Contracting Services, Inc. for the San Gabriel Plant Roof Repairs on April 15, 2026.
DISCUSSION
The San Gabriel Water Yard/Plant property was originally constructed in 1920. The roofs of Well Building #12E and Storage Building at the San Gabriel Water Yard/Plant have a history of on-going roof leaks. This has caused the wooden roof frame structure to rot in isolated locations. Repair/replacement of the roofs and wood frame were recommended in the Bureau Veritas Facility Condition Assessment completed in 2023.
Best Contracting Services, Inc. has successfully completed other roofing projects for the City of Glendora. In order to expedite the project, staff reached out to Best Contracting to obtain a proposal for the San Gabriel Plant Roof Repairs project. The proposed price was $46,854 to complete the project and the City awarded an agreement to Best Contracting Services, Inc. on April 15, 2026.
The original scope of work includes but is not limited to:
Well building No. 12E Roof Repair
Demolition and removal of the existing built-up roof system.
Installation of 1/4 inch DensDeck over the entire roof deck to provide a suitable substrate for the new roofing system.
Installation of a new 60-mil PVC roofing system.
Storage Building Roof Repair
Demolition and removal of the existing built-up roof system.
Installation of 1/4 inch DensDeck over the entire roof deck to provide a suitable substrate for the new roofing system.
Installation of a new 60-mil PVC roofing system.
Subsequent to the award of the original contract, it was determined that Well Building 12E required additional improvements to provide proper cooling of the well pumps and better access for maintenance work. Amendment No. 1 increases the scope of work to include the installation of a roof hatch, larger sidewall vents, and related exhaust fan removal and infill work, and increases the Contract Sum by $23,805, from $46,854 to $70,659, for the additional scope of work.
FISCAL IMPACT
Sufficient appropriations are available in the FY2025-27 Adopted Two-Year Budget in the Water Capital Projects Fund (502) project number 6025101. Project number 6025101 provided for $6.5 million of water improvements in FY2024-25. There is $5,244,894 remaining and available due to previous uses for the Lone Hill Water Main (6025105), Oak Park Road (6025104), Water Facility Assessment and Improvements (6026103), and Water Yard Roof Replacement (6026102) projects as detailed in the table below. The $75,000 needed for this project will be reprogrammed from Project No. 6025101 to Project No. 6026101. This will leave a remaining balance of $5,147,201 in Project No. 6025101 available for other projects.

In instances where City or its Indemnified Parties is shown to have been actively negligent and where City’s active negligence accounts for only a percentage of the liability involved, the obligation of Contractor will be for that entire portion or percentage of liability not attributable to the active negligence of the City.

In addition, the insurance carrier must be currently authorized by the Insurance Commissioner to transact business of insurance or be on the List of Approved Surplus Line Insurers issued by the State of California.

Any use, reuse or assignment of such completed documents for other projects and/or use of uncompleted documents without specific written authorization by the Contractor will be at the City’s sole risk and without liability to Contractor, and Contractor’s guarantee and warranties shall not extend to such use, reuse or assignment.

ARTICLE 7. ENFORCEMENT OF AGREEMENT AND TERMINATION
7.1 California Law.
This Agreement shall be interpreted, construed and governed both as to validity and to performance of the Parties in accordance with the laws of the State of California. Legal actions concerning any dispute, claim or matter arising out of or in relation to this Agreement shall be instituted in the Superior Court of the County of Los Angeles, State of California, or any other appropriate court in such county, and Contractor covenants and agrees to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such court in the event of such action. In the event of litigation in a U.S. District Court, venue shall lie exclusively in the Central District of California, in the County of Los Angeles, State of California.
7.2 Disputes.
(a) Default; Cure. In the event that Contractor is in default under the terms of this Agreement, the City shall not have any obligation or duty to continue compensating Contractor for any work performed after the date of default. Instead, the City may give notice to Contractor of the default and the reasons for the default. The notice shall include the timeframe in which Contractor may cure the default. This timeframe is presumptively thirty (30) days, but may be extended, though not reduced, if circumstances warrant, in the sole and absolute discretion of the Project Manager. During the period of time that Contractor is in default, the City shall hold all invoices and shall proceed with payment on such invoices only when the default is cured to the satisfaction of the City. In the alternative, the City may, in its sole discretion, elect to pay some or all of the outstanding invoices during the period of default. If Contractor does not cure the default, the City may take necessary steps to terminate this Agreement under this Article. Any failure on the part of the City to give notice of the Contractor’s default shall not be deemed to result in a waiver of the City’s legal rights or any rights arising out of any provision of this Agreement. (b) Dispute Resolution. This Agreement is subject to the provisions of Article 1.5 (commencing at Section 20104) of Division 2, Part 3 of the California Public Contract Code regarding the resolution of public works claims of less than $375,000. Additionally, Section 9204 of the California Public Contract Code prescribes a process for negotiation and mediation to resolve disputes on construction claims. Article 1.5 mandates certain procedures for the filing of claims and supporting documentation by the Contractor, for the response to such claims by the City, for a mandatory meet and confer conference upon the request of the Contractor, for mandatory non-binding mediation in the event litigation is commenced, and for mandatory judicial arbitration upon the failure to resolve the dispute through mediation. This Agreement hereby incorporates the provisions of Article 1.5 as though fully set forth herein and the intent of this Section is to implement Sections 20104 et seq. and Section 9204 of the California Public Contract Docusign Envelope ID: 8E072EEB-3931-8BC8-821A-F75F152353B8 PW Agreement – Best Contracting Services, Inc. (San Gabriel Plant Roof Repair) 04.15.2026 20 Code with respect to any such claims by Contractor. This Section shall be construed to be consistent with said statutes.
For purposes of these procedures, the term “claim(s)” means a separate demand by the Contractor, after the City has denied Contractor’s timely and duly made request for payment for extra work and/or a time extension, for (A) a time extension, (B) payment of money or damages arising from work done by or on behalf of the Contractor pursuant to this Agreement and payment of which is not otherwise expressly provided for or the Contractor is not otherwise entitled to, or (C) an amount the payment of which is disputed by the City.
7.3 Retention of Funds.
Contractor hereby authorizes City to deduct from any amount payable to Contractor (whether or not arising out of this Agreement) (i) any amounts the payment of which may be in dispute hereunder or which are necessary to compensate City for any losses, costs, liabilities, or damages suffered by City, and (ii) all amounts for which City may be liable to third parties, by reason of Contractor’s acts or omissions in performing or failing to perform Contractor’s obligation under this Agreement. In the event that any claim is made by a third party, the amount or validity of which is disputed by Contractor, or any indebtedness shall exist which shall appear to be the basis for a claim of lien, City may withhold from any payment due, without liability for interest because of such withholding, an amount sufficient to cover such claim. The failure of City to exercise such right to deduct or to withhold shall not, however, affect the obligations of the Contractor to insure, indemnify, and protect City as elsewhere provided herein.
7.4 Waiver.
Waiver by any Party to this Agreement of any term, condition, or covenant of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other term, condition, or covenant. Waiver by any Party of any breach of the provisions of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other provision or a waiver of any subsequent breach or violation of any provision of this Agreement.
Acceptance by City of any work or services by Contractor shall not constitute a waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy by a non-defaulting Party on any default shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver.
Any waiver by either Party of any default must be in writing and shall not be a waiver of any other default concerning the same or any other provision of this Agreement.
7.5 Rights and Remedies are Cumulative.
Except with respect to rights and remedies expressly declared to be exclusive in this Agreement, the rights and remedies of the Parties are cumulative and the exercise by either Party of one or more of such rights or remedies shall not preclude the exercise by it, at the same or different times, of any other rights or remedies for the same default or any other default by the other Party.
7.6 Legal Action.
In addition to any other rights or remedies, either Party may take legal action, in law or in equity, to cure, correct or remedy any default, to recover damages for any default, to compel specific performance of this Agreement, to obtain declaratory or injunctive relief, or to obtain any other remedy consistent with the purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any Docusign Envelope ID: 8E072EEB-3931-8BC8-821A-F75F152353B8 PW Agreement – Best Contracting Services, Inc. (San Gabriel Plant Roof Repair) 04.15.2026 21 contrary provision herein, Contractor shall file a claim pursuant to Government Code Sections 905 et seq. and 910 et seq., in order to pursue a legal action under this Agreement.
7.7 Liquidated Damages.
Since the determination of actual damages for any delay in performance of this Agreement would be extremely difficult or impractical to determine in the event of a breach of this Agreement, the Contractor and its sureties shall be liable for and shall pay to the City the sum of $400 (Four Hundred Dollars) as liquidated damages for each working day of delay in the performance of any of the servicesrequired hereunder, as specified in the Schedule of Performance (Exhibit “D”). The City may withhold from any monies payable on account of services performed by the Contractor any accrued liquidated damages. Pursuant to Government Code Section 4215, Contractor shall not be assessed liquidated damages for delay in completion of the Project when such delay was caused by the failure of the public agency or owner of the utility to provide for removal or relocation of utility facilities.
7.8 Termination Prior to Expiration of Term.
This Section shall govern any termination of this Contract except as specifically provided in the following Section for termination for cause. The City reserves the right to terminate this Contract at any time, with or without cause, upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to Contractor, except that where termination is due to the fault of the Contractor, the period of notice may be such shorter time as may be determined by the Contract Officer. Upon receipt of any notice of termination, Contractor shall immediately cease all services hereunder except such as may be specifically approved by the Contract Officer. Except where the Contractor has initiated termination, the Contractor shall be entitled to compensation for all services rendered prior to the effective date of the notice of termination and for any services authorized by the Contract Officer thereafter in accordance with the Schedule of Compensation or such as may be approved by the Contract Officer, except as provided in Section 7.3. In the event the Contractor has initiated termination, the Contractor shall be entitled to compensation only for the reasonable value of the work product actually produced hereunder. In the event of termination without cause pursuant to this Section, the terminating Party need not provide the non-terminating Party with the opportunity to cure pursuant to Section 7.2.
7.9 Termination for Default of Contractor.
If termination is due to the failure of the Contractor to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, City may, after compliance with the provisions of Section 7.2, take over the work and prosecute the same to completion by contract or otherwise, and the Contractor shall be liable to the extent that the total cost for completion of the services required hereunder exceeds the compensation herein stipulated (provided that the City shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate such damages), and City may withhold any payments to the Contractor for the purpose of set-off or partial payment of the amounts owed the City as previously stated.
7.10 Attorneys’ Fees.
If either Party to this Agreement is required to initiate or defend or made a Party to any action or proceeding in any way connected with this Agreement, the prevailing Party in such action or proceeding, in addition to any other relief which may be granted, whether legal or equitable, shall be entitled to reasonable attorney’s fees. Attorney’s fees shall include attorney’s Docusign Envelope ID: 8E072EEB-3931-8BC8-821A-F75F152353B8 PW Agreement – Best Contracting Services, Inc. (San Gabriel Plant Roof Repair) 04.15.2026 22 fees on any appeal, and in addition a Party entitled to attorney’s fees shall be entitled to all other reasonable costs for investigating such action, taking depositions and discovery and all other necessary costs the court allows which are incurred in such litigation. All such fees shall be deemed to have accrued on commencement of such action and shall be enforceable whether or not such action is prosecuted to judgment.
7.11 Unfair Business Practices Claims.
In entering into this Agreement, Contractor offers and agrees to assign to the City all rights, title, and interest in and to all causes of action it may have under Section 4 of the Clayton Act (15 U.S.C. § 15) or under the Cartwright Act (Chapter 2, (commencing with Section 16700) of Part 2 of Division 7 of the Business and Professions Code), arising from purchases of goods, services or materials related to this Agreement. This assignment shall be made and become effective at the time the City renders final payment to the Contractor without further acknowledgment by the Parties.
ARTICLE 8. CITY OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES: NON-DISCRIMINATION
8.1 Non-liability of City Officers and Employees.
No officer or employee of the City shall be personally liable to the Contractor, or any successor in interest, in the event of any default or breach by the City or for any amount which may become due to the Contractor or to its successor, or for breach of any obligation of the terms of this Agreement.

STAFF REPORT
TO: Mayor and Council Members DATE: August 25, 2026
FROM: City Clerk DISTRICT(S): Citywide
SUBJECT: Consideration of Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement with Granicus, LLC for a one-year renewal for the City's website in an amount not to exceed $55,126.95
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council:
1. Approve Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement with Granicus, LLC, exercising the one-year renewal option for the City's website and community engagement platform, in an amount not to exceed $55,126.95; and
2. Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute Amendment No. 1 in a form approved by the City Attorney.
STRATEGIC FOCUS AREAS
Goal 4: Enhance and Modernize the Organization (EMO)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Staff recommends that the City Council approve Amendment No. 1 to the City's agreement with Granicus, LLC, exercising the option to extend the term, in an amount not to exceed $55,126.95 for the one-year period of extension, funded from Information Technology Software Maintenance in the adopted Fiscal Year 2026/27 MidCycle Budget. Granicus provides the City's OpenCities website platform together with integrated two-way communication tools — email and text notifications, online forms, and the EngageGlendora community feedback module. Approving Amendment No. 1 maintains these services and advances the City's Strategic Plan objective of expanding opportunities for community engagement by sustaining a modernized, mobile-friendly website and the outbound and inbound communication tools that support it.
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY / PREVIOUS ACTIONS
September 15, 2023, City Council approved a three-year agreement with Granicus, LLC for design upgrades, configuration, training, support maintenance, monitoring, and cloud data storage for the City's website, with two additional one-year renewal options, in an amount not to exceed $366,730.
DISCUSSION
The City of Glendora has consistently used digital platforms such as social media channels and its website as primary resources for community information and engagement. Examples include the color-coordinated alert system developed following the Colby Fire in 2014 to advise residents across all platforms of mudflow and potential dangers, and more recently the integration of Zoom, the City’s website, and YouTube to support public participation in City meetings during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Historically, social media platforms have provided a reliable conduit to the City’s website, consistently driving traffic to the organization’s central hub of information, including contact forms and phone numbers for staff available to address community needs. Current volatility across the social media landscape has reduced its efficacy in both a productive outlet for community dialog and a dependable channel to the website.
Website Usage. Glendora’s website is anticipated to experience over 900k page views in 2026, an increase of approximately 14% over 2024, and 10% over 2025. A growing share of this traffic comes from mobile devices, underscoring the value of the platform's mobile-friendly, services-focused design.
Social media context. Social media remains a meaningful driver of traffic to the City website, though the landscape has shifted: Instagram has surpassed Facebook as the City's most-used channel, with 14% year-overyear growth in 2026, while the City's Facebook following grew nearly 21% over the same period. Given ongoing volatility across social platforms, the City-controlled website and the Granicus notification tools provide a more stable, direct channel to residents.
Community feedback. In the 2025 community survey, 84% of respondents reacted positively to the website as an effective tool for the City to communicate with them, email (87.7%), and text messaging (86.7) rated slightly more effective overall. The current Granicus agreement includes website, email, and text messaging capabilities allowing the City to reach residents through all three of the channels they rated most effective.
Communication and engagement tools. The renewal maintains the following modules, all included in the Granicus OpenCities platform:
Communications (formerly GovDelivery) — email and text notifications, including subscribe prompts that make it easier for residents to sign up for news and calendar updates from City departments.
Sentiments and Feedback / EngageGlendora.com (formerly EngagementHQ) — inbound engagement tools such as monitored forums, idea boards, pin maps, stories, Q&A, polls, and surveys that capture community feedback to inform project management and decision-making.
Forms (formerly GovService Forms) — digitized workflows and online services.
Together, these modules support a modernized, services-focused website that connects residents with the information and services they need through an efficient, streamlined, and mobile-friendly interface.
FISCAL IMPACT
The cost of the services for the extension term under Amendment No. 1 is a total not to exceed $55,126.95.
Sufficient appropriations are available in the FY 2026/27 Adopted Mid-Cycle Budget in the Technology (Fund 553) City Software account (55330150.59112).
Solutions Frequency Quantity/Unit Annual Fee
Government Experience Cloud Annual 1 Each $0.00
OpenCities SaaS License Annual 1 Each $14,700.52
EHQ Unlimited Annual 1 Each $18,988.16
Communications Cloud Annual 1 Each $12,250.44
OpenForms Enterprise License (30 users, 100 forms) Annual 1 Each $9,187.83 SUBTOTAL: $55,126.95
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
The recommended action is not a "project" subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as defined in CEQA Guidelines Section 15378 and is further exempt under Section 15061(b)(3), as it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility the activity may have a significant effect on the environment. No further environmental review is required.

(a) Proof of insurance. Consultant shall provide certificates of insurance to City as evidence of the insurance coverage required herein, along with a waiver of subrogation endorsement for workers’ compensation. Insurance certificates and endorsements must be approved by City’s Risk Manager prior to commencement of performance.

City reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies, at any time.
(b) Duration of coverage. Consultant shall procure and maintain for the duration of this Agreement insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damages to property, which may arise from or in connection with the performance of the Services hereunder by Consultant, its agents, representatives, employees or subconsultants.
(c) Primary/noncontributing. Coverage provided by Consultant shall be primary and any insurance or self-insurance procured or maintained by City shall not be required to contribute with it. The limits of insurance required herein may be satisfied by a combination of primary and umbrella or excess insurance. Any umbrella or excess insurance shall contain or be endorsed to contain a provision that such coverage shall also apply on a primary and non-contributory basis for the benefit of City before the City’s own insurance or selfinsurance shall be called upon to protect it as a named insured. (d) City’s rights of enforcement. In the event any policy of insurance required under this Agreement does not comply with these specifications or is canceled and not replaced, City has the right but not the duty to obtain the insurance it deems necessary and any premium paid by City will be promptly reimbursed by Consultant or City will withhold amounts sufficient to pay premium from Consultant payments. In the alternative, City may cancel this Agreement.
(e) Acceptable insurers.

(f) Waiver of subrogation. All insurance coverage maintained or procured pursuant to this agreement shall be endorsed to waive subrogation against City, its elected or appointed officers, agents, officials, employees and volunteers or shall specifically allow Consultant or others providing insurance evidence in compliance with these specifications to waive their right of recovery prior to a loss. Consultant hereby waives its own right of recovery against City, and shall require similar written express waivers and insurance clauses from each of its subconsultants.
(g) Enforcement of contract provisions (non-estoppel). Consultant acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of the City to inform Consultant of non-compliance with any requirement imposes no additional obligations on the City nor does it waive any rights hereunder. (h) Requirements not limiting. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this section are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits or other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any insurance. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not intended by any party or insured to be all inclusive, or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a waiver of any type. If the Consultant maintains higher limits than the minimums shown above, the City requires and shall be entitled to coverage for the higher limits maintained by DocuSign Envelope ID: E9C711C4-518F-4A30-9DF2-F5D1258078BA Granicus - Website Project (08.22.2023)
the Consultant. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the City.
(i) Notice of cancellation. Consultant agrees to oblige its insurance agent or broker and insurers to provide to City with a thirty (30) day notice of cancellation (except for nonpayment for which a ten (10) day notice is required) or nonrenewal of coverage for each required coverage. (j) Additional insured status. General liability policies shall provide or be endorsed to provide that City and its officers, officials, employees, and agents, and volunteers shall be additional insureds under such policies. This provision shall also apply to any excess/umbrella liability policies. (k) Prohibition of undisclosed coverage limitations. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been first submitted to City and approved of in writing.
(l) Separation of insureds.

The policy(ies) shall not contain any cross-liability exclusions.
(m) Pass through clause. Consultant agrees to ensure that its subconsultants, subcontractors, and any other party involved with the project who is brought onto or involved in the project by Consultant, provide the same minimum insurance coverage and endorsements required of Consultant. Consultant agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section. Consultant agrees that upon request, all agreements with consultants, subcontractors, and others engaged in the project will be submitted to City for review. (n) Agency’s right to revise specifications. The City reserves the right at any time during the term of the contract to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the Consultant ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to the Consultant, the City and Consultant may renegotiate Consultant’s compensation. (o) Self-insured retentions. Any self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by City. City reserves the right to require that self-insured retentions be eliminated, lowered, or replaced by a deductible. Self-insurance will not be considered to comply with these specifications unless approved by City. (p) Timely notice of claims. Consultant shall give City prompt and timely notice of claims made or suits instituted that arise out of or result from Consultant’s performance under this Agreement, and that involve or may involve coverage under any of the required liability policies.

Consultant shall incorporate similar indemnity agreements with its subcontractors and if it fails to do so Consultant shall be fully responsible to indemnify City hereunder therefore, and failure of City to monitor compliance with these provisions shall not be a waiver hereof. This indemnification includes claims or liabilities arising from any negligent or wrongful act, error or omission, or reckless or willful misconduct of Consultant in the performance of professional services hereunder. The provisions of this Section do not apply to claims or liabilities occurring as a result of City’s sole negligence or willful acts or omissions, but, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall apply to claims and liabilities resulting in part from City’s negligence, except that design professionals’ indemnity hereunder shall be limited to claims and liabilities arising out of the negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct of the design professional. The indemnity obligation shall be binding on successors and assigns of Consultant and shall survive termination of this Agreement.

Any use, reuse or assignment of such completed documents for other projects and/or use of uncompleted documents without specific written authorization by the Consultant will be at the City’s sole risk and without liability to Consultant, and Consultant’s guarantee and warranties shall not extend to such use, reuse or assignment.
Consultant may retain copies of such documents for its own use. Consultant shall have the right to use the concepts embodied therein.

Consultant agrees to cooperate fully with City and to provide City with the opportunity to review any response to discovery requests provided by Consultant. However, this right to review any such response does not imply or mean the right by City to control, direct, or rewrite said response.
ARTICLE 7. ENFORCEMENT OF AGREEMENT AND TERMINATION
7.1 California Law.
This Agreement shall be interpreted, construed and governed both as to validity and to performance of the parties in accordance with the laws of the State of California. Legal actions concerning any dispute, claim or matter arising out of or in relation to this Agreement shall be instituted in the Superior Court of the County of Los Angeles, State of California, or any other appropriate court in such county, and Consultant covenants and agrees to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such court in the event of such action. In the event of litigation in a U.S.
District Court, venue shall lie exclusively in the Central District of California, in the County of Los Angeles, State of California.
7.2 Disputes; Default.
In the event that Consultant is in default under the terms of this Agreement, the City shall not have any obligation or duty to continue compensating Consultant for any work performed after the date of default. Instead, the City may give notice to Consultant of the default and the reasons for the default. The notice shall include the timeframe in which Consultant may cure the default. This timeframe is presumptively thirty (30) days, but may be extended, though not reduced, if circumstances warrant. During the period of time that Consultant is in default, the City shall hold all invoices and shall, when the default is cured, proceed with payment on the invoices. In the alternative, the City may, in its sole discretion, elect to pay some or all of the outstanding invoices during the period of default. If Consultant does not cure the default, the City may take necessary steps to terminate this Agreement under this Article. Any failure on the part of the City to give notice of the Consultant’s default shall not be deemed to result in a waiver of the City’s legal rights or any rights arising out of any provision of this Agreement.
7.3 Retention of Funds.
Consultant hereby authorizes City to deduct from any amount payable to Consultant (whether or not arising out of this Agreement) (i) any amounts the payment of which may be in dispute hereunder or which are necessary to compensate City for any losses, costs, liabilities, or damages suffered by City, and (ii) all amounts for which City may be liable to third parties, by reason of Consultant’s acts or omissions in performing or failing to perform Consultant’s obligation under this Agreement. In the event that any claim is made by a third party, the amount or validity of which is disputed by Consultant, or any indebtedness shall exist which shall appear to be the basis for a claim of lien, City may withhold from any payment due, without liability for interest because of such withholding, an amount sufficient to cover such claim. The failure of City to exercise such right to deduct or to withhold shall not, however, affect the obligations of the Consultant to insure, indemnify, and protect City as elsewhere provided herein.
7.4 Waiver.
Waiver by any party to this Agreement of any term, condition, or covenant of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other term, condition, or covenant. Waiver by any party of any breach of the provisions of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other provision or a waiver of any subsequent breach or violation of any provision of this Agreement. Acceptance by City of any work or services by Consultant shall not DocuSign Envelope ID: E9C711C4-518F-4A30-9DF2-F5D1258078BA Granicus - Website Project (08.22.2023)
constitute a waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy by a non-defaulting party on any default shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver.
Any waiver by either party of any default must be in writing and shall not be a waiver of any other default concerning the same or any other provision of this Agreement.
7.5 Rights and Remedies are Cumulative.
Except with respect to rights and remedies expressly declared to be exclusive in this Agreement, the rights and remedies of the parties are cumulative and the exercise by either party of one or more of such rights or remedies shall not preclude the exercise by it, at the same or different times, of any other rights or remedies for the same default or any other default by the other party.
7.6 Legal Action.
In addition to any other rights or remedies, either party may take legal action, in law or in equity, to cure, correct or remedy any default, to recover damages for any default, to compel specific performance of this Agreement, to obtain declaratory or injunctive relief, or to obtain any other remedy consistent with the purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, Consultant shall file a statutory claim pursuant to Government Code Sections 905 et seq. and 910 et seq., in order to pursue a legal action under this Agreement.
7.7 Termination Prior to Expiration of Term.
This Section shall govern any termination of this Contract except as specifically provided in the following Section for termination for cause. The City reserves the right to terminate this Contract at any time, with or without cause, upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to Consultant, except that where termination is due to the fault of the Consultant, the period of notice may be such shorter time as may be determined by the Contract Officer. In addition, the Consultant reserves the right to terminate this Contract at any time, with or without cause, upon sixty (60) days’ written notice to City, except that where termination is due to the fault of the City, the period of notice may be such shorter time as the Consultant may determine. Upon receipt of any notice of termination, Consultant shall immediately cease all services hereunder except such as may be specifically approved by the Contract Officer. Except where the Consultant has initiated termination, the Consultant shall be entitled to compensation for all services rendered prior to the effective date of the notice of termination and for any services authorized by the Contract Officer thereafter in accordance with the Schedule of Compensation or such as may be approved by the Contract Officer, except as provided in Section 7.3. In the event the Consultant has initiated termination, the Consultant shall be entitled to compensation only for the reasonable value of the work product actually produced hereunder. In the event of termination without cause pursuant to this Section, the terminating party need not provide the non-terminating party with the opportunity to cure pursuant to Section 7.2.
7.8 Termination for Default of Consultant.
If termination is due to the failure of the Consultant to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, City may, after compliance with the provisions of Section 7.2, take over the work and prosecute the same to completion by contract or otherwise, and the Consultant shall be liable to the extent that the total cost for completion of the services required hereunder exceeds the compensation herein stipulated (provided that the City shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate such damages), and City may withhold any payments to the Consultant for the purpose of set-off or partial payment of the amounts owed the City as previously stated.
7.9 Attorneys’ Fees.
If either party to this Agreement is required to initiate or defend or made a party to any action or proceeding in any way connected with this Agreement, the prevailing party in such action or proceeding, in addition to any DocuSign Envelope ID: E9C711C4-518F-4A30-9DF2-F5D1258078BA Granicus - Website Project (08.22.2023)
other relief which may be granted, whether legal or equitable, shall be entitled to reasonable attorney’s fees.
Attorney’s fees shall include attorney’s fees on any appeal, and in addition a party entitled to attorney’s fees shall be entitled to all other reasonable costs for investigating such action, taking depositions and discovery and all other necessary costs the court allows which are incurred in such litigation. All such fees shall be deemed to have accrued on commencement of such action and shall be enforceable whether or not such action is prosecuted to judgment.

8.2 Conflict of Interest.
Consultant covenants that neither it, nor any officer or principal of its firm, has or shall acquire any interest, directly or indirectly, which would conflict in any manner with the interests of City or which would in any way hinder Consultant’s performance of services under this Agreement.
