3. TIME FOR PERFORMANCE
a) Time  is  of  the  essence  in  Contractor’s  performance  of  the  Work  for  this Agreement.  Contractor agrees to diligently pursue the performance and completion of the Work in every detail to the satisfaction of the Agency, exclusive of maintenance periods, within the specified duration set forth in the Notice to Proceed.   All timing requirements shall be strictly adhered to unless otherwise modified by the Agency in accordance with the Bid and Contract Documents.  If Contractor
b) The Parties estimate that performance of this Agreement will not exceed the Not to Exceed Amount. Contractor shall notify the Agency in writing whenever it has reason to believe that the costs the Contractor expects to incur under this Agreement in the following sixty (60) days,  when  added  to  all  costs  previously  incurred,  will  exceed  eighty  percent  (80%)  of  the Maximum Amount specified herein. As part of the notification, the Contractor shall provide the Agency a revised estimate of the total cost of performing this Agreement.

4. DELAYS AND EXTENSIONS OF TIME
Delays  and  extensions  of  time  will  be  handled  by  Agency  and  Contractor  pursuant  to  the provisions of Section 6‐4 of the Special Provisions.  However, Contractor must comply with the written notice requirement, as well as timely report back‐up information, in strict compliance with  the  requirements  of  the  provisions  of  Section  6‐4  of  the  Special  Provisions;  Contractor’s failure to submit these items within the times specified will constitute a waiver of the extension of time and payment for delay and will be ground for refusal by the Agency to consider such request.

5. LABOR CODE REQUIREMENTS
Pursuant to Labor Code Section 1771.1, the Contractor and all subcontractors shall be registered with  the  Department  of  Industrial  Relations.   Pursuant  to  Labor  Code  Section  1771.4,  the Contractor  is  hereby  notified  that  this  Project  is  subject  to  compliance  monitoring  and enforcement  by  the  Department  of  Industrial  Relations.   Contractor,  and  any  subcontractor engaged by Contractor, must pay not less than the specified prevailing rate of per diem wages to all  workers  employed  in  the  execution  of  the  contract.   (Labor  Code  §  1774.)   Contractor  is responsible for compliance with Labor Code section 1776 relative to the retention and inspection of payroll records.

Contractor must comply with all provisions of Labor Code section 1775.   Under Section 1775, Contractor  may  forfeit  as  a  penalty  to  City  up  to  $50.00  for  each  worker  employed  in  the execution of the Contract by Contractor or any subcontractor for each calendar day, or portion thereof, in which the worker is paid less than the prevailing rates.  Contractor may also be liable to pay the difference between the prevailing wage rates and the amount paid to each worker for each calendar day, or portion thereof, for which each worker was paid less than the prevailing wage rate.

4.1 Arrange  for  Contractor,  with  consent  of  Owner,  to  perform  and  complete  the Construction Contract (but Owner may withhold consent, in which case the Surety must elect an option described in Paragraphs 4.2, 4.3 or 4.4 below); or

City of Hemet
City Council Meeting

STAFF REPORT

Meeting: City Council Meeting - Apr 23 2024
Department: Fire Department
Submitted by: Mark Prestwich, City Manager
Eddie Sell, Fire Chief;

☐ Receive and File ☒ Consent Calendar ☐ Business Item ☐ Public Hearing

TITLE:

A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Hemet, California, Authorizing the City Manager to Accept the FY2425 CalRecycle Local Government Waste Tire Cleanup Grant in the Amount of $69,000 and Authorizing the Administrative Services Director to Increase Estimated Revenues by $69,000 to Appropriate Funds for Illegal Tire Dump Cleanup

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

It is respectfully recommended that the City Council:

Adopt a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Hemet, California, Authorizing the City Manager to Accept the FY2425 CalRecycle Local Government Waste Tire Cleanup Grant in the approximate amount of $69,000 and Authorizing the Administrative Services Director to Increase Estimated Revenues by $69,000 to Appropriate Funds for Illegal Tire Dump Cleanup.

BACKGROUND:

The Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) offers the Local Government Waste Tire Cleanup Grant Program pursuant to Section 42889(b)(5) of the Public Resources Code.

The purpose of the Grant is to pay for the cost of cleanup, abatement, or other remedial actions related to the disposal of illegally dumped California waste tires.

ANALYSIS:

Over the last few years the City of Hemet has seen an increase in the number and size of illegal dumps. We have identified a problem area due to its remoteness. APN Parcels #454-090-003, #454- 060-034, 454-060-014, 454-060-010 and #454-060-013 have an excessive amount of illegally dumped trash, predominately tires.

The areas cover a residential area and is adjacent to Diamond Valley Lake which is one California's largest water reservoirs. The sites include tires strewn on the roads sides of Natalie Joy and A St and a single family residence. The property owners have been victims of illegal dumping on these

Page 1 of 23 ends

16.G

Page 841 of 926 ends

undeveloped parcels. As cleaning and dump fees increase citizens are finding it more difficult to pay for the legal removal of trash and tires.

DISCUSSION:

As a result, Code Enforcement has fielded many complaints of illegal dumping but most recently has experienced a huge increase in illegally dumped tires. The cost of disposing of unwanted used tires has gone up. These tires are only accepted in certified landfill that are designated for hazardous waste.

Due to these restrictions in disposing of used tires, tire haulers, and clean-up contractors have found it easier and a cost savings to discard their unwanted tires on vacant lots that are isolated from the general public.

With grant funding the City will contract with our local trash collection service, CR&R and the Local Conservation Corp for the clean-up, transportation and legal disposal of the tires at a certified landfill.

City Council Meeting

STAFF REPORT

Meeting: City Council Meeting - Apr 23 2024
Department: City Council
Submitted by: Mark Prestwich, City Manager
Eddie Sell, Fire Chief;

☐ Receive and File ☒ Consent Calendar ☐ Business Item ☐ Public Hearing

TITLE:

A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Hemet, California, Approving the Sixth Amendment in the amount of $25,000 to the Agreement for Services between the City of Hemet and Ace Weed Abatement for a Total Contract Amount Not to Exceed $83,300 per City Fiscal Year and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute the Agreement

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

It is respectfully recommended that the City Council:

A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Hemet, California, Approving the Sixth Amendment in the amount of $25,000 to the Agreement for Services between the City of Hemet and Ace Weed Abatement for a Total Contract Amount Not to Exceed $83,300 per City Fiscal Year and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute the Agreement.

BACKGROUND:

Each summer, the spring growth caused by winter rains on undeveloped land within the city limits begins to dry out and become a fire hazard to the surrounding homes. In an effort to reduce the danger to lives and property, the City developed a weed abatement program.

Weed abatement procedures are governed by the provisions of California Government Code Sections 39560 et seq., in accordance with provisions of Sections 30-31 of the Hemet Municipal Code and Section 1103.2 of the Uniform Fire Code in order to mitigate fire hazards associated with combustible weeds, rubbish, and refuse.

If land owners do not comply with the City's notice to clear their lands of weeds, rubbish, and refuse within a pre-determined period of time, the land is cleared by a City approved contractor and the costs of the mitigation are charged to the land owner.

As a result of this program, the City of Hemet Fire Department has experienced a significant decrease in the number of fires related to weeds, rubbish, and refuse.

Page 865 of 926 ends

ANALYSIS:

The contract that the City entered into with Ace Weed Abatement has provided the ability to address hazards related to weeds, rubbish, and refuse on an annual basis. Its success resulted in the first amendment to the contract which provided an option to extend the term of the contract through two (2) one (1) year options until June 30, 2025.

DISCUSSION:

The current contract limit with Ace Weed Abatement is an amount not to exceed $58,300 and needs to be increased by an additional $25,000 to an updated amount of $83,300 to provide annual anticipated weed abatement services.

PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:

On September 21, 2020 (“Agreement”), pursuant to which the Contractor was to provide weed abatement services to the City, for a one-year period, for a total sum not to exceed forty-two thousand three hundred dollars ($42,300).

On November 17, 2021, the parties executed a First Amendment to Weed Abatement Services (“First Amendment”) that extended the term until June 30, 2023, with two (2) one (1) year options to extend.

On December 20, 2021, the parties executed a Second Amendment to Weed Abatement Services (“Second Amendment”) wherein they increased the total compensation, including reimbursement for actual and reasonable expenses, to an amount not to exceed fifty thousand dollars ($50,000).

On February 28, 2022, the parties executed a Third Amendment to Weed Abatement Services (“Third Amendment”) wherein they increased the total compensation, including reimbursement for actual and reasonable expenses, to an amount not exceed forty-two thousand three hundred dollars ($42,300), annually.

On May 8, 2023, the parties executed a Fourth Amendment to Weed Abatement Services (“Fourth Amendment”) wherein they exercised the first of two (2) one (1) year options to extend the term through June 30, 2024.

On November 14, 2023, the parties executed a Fifth Amendment to Weed Abatement Services (“Fifth Amendment”) wherein they increased the total not to exceed amount to Fifty-Eight Thousand Three Hundred Dollars ($58,300) per City Fiscal year.

STRATEGIC PLAN INTEGRATION:

GOAL TWO: ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY

FISCAL IMPACT:

To adopt a Resolution approving the Sixth Amendment in the amount of $25,000 to the Agreement for Services between the City of Hemet and Ace Weed Abatement for a total contract amount no-to- exceed $83,300 and would entail a supplemental appropriation increase in the amount of $25,000 per City Fiscal Year in account number 110-3225-2400 which was requested separately within the FY2324 Mid-Year Budget Update Staff Report on February 27, 2024.

City of Hemet
City Council Meeting

STAFF REPORT

Meeting: City Council Meeting - Apr 23 2024
Department: Fire Department
Submitted by: Mark Prestwich, City Manager
Eddie Sell, Fire Chief;

☐ Receive and File ☐ Consent Calendar ☒ Business Item ☐ Public Hearing

TITLE:

A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Hemet, California, Declaring a Hazardous Condition Pursuant to Government Code Sections 39560 et seq. Relating to Weeds, Rubbish, and Refuse Upon Parkways or Private Property within the City of Hemet

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

It is respectfully recommended that the City Council:

Adopt a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Hemet, California, declaring a hazardous condition pursuant to Government Code Section 39560 Et Seq. relating to weeds, rubbish, and refuse upon parkways or private property within the City; and Set a Public Hearing on May 28, 2024, for objections to the proposed weed abatement.

BACKGROUND:

Each year, the winter rains cause weeds to grow in parkways and private properties within the City of Hemet. If left unattended, the weeds grow and dry out during the warm summer months, and result in a fire hazard to nearby structures.

Additionally, vacant lots and other areas tend to attract rubbish and refuse over the course of the year through illegal dumping or homeless encampments. These items provide fuel to fires that can threaten nearby structures.

The attached Resolution establishes a weed abatement procedure outlined in Government Code sections 39501 and 39502 and section 39560 et seq. This Resolution requires the Council to declare weeds as a public nuisance on known properties, offer notice to property owners, and establish an opportunity to be heard about why said weeds should not be abated.

ANALYSIS:

Page 1 of 21 ends

17.B

Page 877 of 926 ends

In 2019, the Fire Department instituted a weed abatement program to reduce grass and rubbish fires occurring in parkways and private properties within the City limits. All affected property owners were notified and given an opportunity to abate the hazard themselves within a specified time frame. After the time frame passed, a contracted company would inspect the property and abate the hazard if it still existed. The cost of this abatement would be passed on to the property owner with an additional administrative fee.

The number of fires in vacant lots between 2018 and 2019 dropped dramatically, and thus the weed abatement program became an annual action to mitigate the damage from weed, rubbish, and refuse fires.

DISCUSSION:

Once approved by the City Council, letters will be sent to property owners allowing approximately 30 days to comply with abatement requirements. Property owners who fail to comply will have their property abated by the City of Hemet contractors and billed by the City for services rendered. The first phase of abatements should be completed within 90 days of Council approval.

Abatement Timeline

April 2024 Weed Abatement Letters sent to property owners May 28, 2024 Public Hearing on Weed Abatement
June 1, 2024 Deadline for abatement by property owners
June 2024 Inspections and weed abatement through a City contract July 1, 2024 First phase abatements completed

This year's weed abatement deadline has been moved up by 30 days which will reduce the probability of catastrophic fire and allow the City to initiate a second abatement process in late summer should it be necessary.

PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:

The City Council has approved the weed abatement Resolution each year since 2019.

City of Hemet
City Council Meeting

STAFF REPORT

Meeting: City Council Meeting - Apr 23 2024
Department: Public Works
Submitted by: Mark Prestwich, City Manager
Noah Rau, Public Works Director/City Engineer;

☐ Receive and File ☐ Consent Calendar ☒ Business Item ☐ Public Hearing

TITLE:

A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Hemet, California, Approving a Recovered Organic Waste and Recycled-Content Paper Product Procurement Policy

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

It is respectfully recommended that the City Council:

Adopt a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Hemet, California, Approving a Recovered Organic Waste and Recycled-Content Paper Product Procurement Policy.

BACKGROUND:

In September 2016, Governor Brown signed into law SB 1383 (Lara, Chapter 395, Statutes of 2016), establishing methane emissions reduction targets in a statewide effort to reduce emissions of short- lived climate pollutants (SLCP) in various sectors of California's economy. The new law codifies the California Air Resources Board's Short-Lived Climate Pollutant Reduction Strategy, established pursuant to SB 605 (Lara, Chapter 523, Statutes of 2014), to achieve reductions in the statewide emissions of short-lived climate pollutants. Actions to reduce short-lived climate pollutants are essential to address the many impacts of climate change on human health, especially in California's most at-risk communities, and on the environment.

On December 14, 2021, the City Council approved and adopted Ordinance No. 1986 revising Chapter 62 of the City of Hemet Municipal Code as it relates to Solid Waste Management. This Ordinance revision included a component to mandate changes in the City's procurement processes to increase the purchase of both recycled content and organic materials within the City's operations.

City of Hemet Ordinance No. 1986, Section 62-24(a), references a recovered organic waste and recycled-content paper procurement policy as it relates to compliance with SB 1383 requirements.

While Public Works staff has been monitoring compliance with the mulch procurement requirements to comply with the Cal Recycle targets, a formal policy has not previously been brought to the City Council for approval.

Page 899 of 926 ends

ANALYSIS:

The proposed policy intends to achieve the following objectives:

1. Protect and conserve natural resources, water, and energy.

2. Minimize the City’s contribution to climate change, pollution, and solid waste disposal.

3. Comply with State requirements as contained in 14 CCR Division 7, Chapter 12, Article 12 (SB 1383 procurement regulations) to procure a specified amount of Recovered Organic Waste Products to support Organic Waste disposal reduction targets and markets for products made from recycled and recovered Organic Waste materials; and

4. Purchase Recycled-Content Paper Products and Recycled-Content Printing and Writing Paper; and

5. Comply with City of Hemet Municipal Code 62-24 “Procurement requirements for City departments, direct service providers, and vendors.”

The proposed policy requires the City to compile an annual report on the City’s direct procurement, and vendor/other procurement on behalf of the City, of Recovered Organic Waste Products, Recycled-Content Paper Products, and Recycled-Content Printing and Writing Paper, consistent with the recordkeeping requirements contained in 14 CCR Section 18993.2 for the Annual Recovered Organic Waste Product Procurement Target and 14 CCR Section 18993.4 for Recycled-Content Paper Products and Recycled-Content Printing and Writing Paper procurement. Records related to the recovered organic waste product procurement will be kept by the Public Works Environmental Compliance Coordinator. Records related to the procurement of recycled-content paper products will be collected and kept by the Administrative Services Department. The procurement report shall be shared with the Council annually.

DISCUSSION:

In addition to the policy providing compliance with SB 1383 requirements as referenced in the Hemet Municipal Code, the proposed policy will meet the requirements of Cal Recycle for the City to qualify for other grant opportunities. For example, the City recently applied for a Local Government Waste Tire Cleanup Grant Program to remove tires on public and private property. This grant is funded through CalRecycle and one of the grant requirements is to have an Environmentally Preferable Purchasing and Practices (EPPP) Policy adopted by May 7, 2024, which this proposed policy is consistent with.

The proposed policy requires compliance to the extent practically feasible. Therefore, if there are issues with fitness and quality, purchase of non-compliant products may be allowed. Further, the products must be available at an equal or lesser price.

Staff recommends that the Council approve the proposed policy and that the policy become effective upon the Council's action to adopt a resolution approving the policy.

STRATEGIC PLAN INTEGRATION:

GOAL FIVE: ORGANIZATIONAL EFFECTIVENESS
To identify the work needed inside the City organization to effectively provide services to the community and ensure financial stability.

Objective 1: Operate in a financially sustainable manner.

Objective 2: Evaluate existing practices to ensure continuity with industry best practices.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact is anticipated from the approval of this procurement policy.

ALTERNATIVE(S):

1. Do not approve the Recovered Organic Waste Product Procurement Policy.

2. Provide alternate direction to the City Manager.

City Council Meeting

STAFF REPORT

Meeting: City Council Meeting - Apr 23 2024
Department: Administration
Submitted by: Mark Prestwich, City Manager
Mark Prestwich, City Manager;

☐ Receive and File ☐ Consent Calendar ☒ Business Item ☐ Public Hearing

TITLE:

Consideration of Request from Western Science Center (WSC) Exempting the Construction of the Western Center Academy Multi-Purpose Building from City of Hemet Development Impact Fee for Bridges, Signals, and Thoroughfares

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

It is respectfully recommended that the City Council:

Adopt a Resolution authorizing the deferral of Development Impact Fee for Bridges, Signals, and Thoroughfares for the Construction of the Western Center Academy Multi-Purpose Building from Development Impact Fee for Bridges, Signals, and Thoroughfares

BACKGROUND:

The Western Center Academy (WCA) is a Hemet Unified School District STEM charter middle and high school located at the Wester Science Center. The WCA is advancing construction of a campus- serving Multi-Purpose Building to provide space for school indoor sports, theater productions and other arts activities, pep rallies, science fairs, lunches during inclement weather, and more. Because the asset will serve existing students, it is not anticipated to result in a discernable change in vehicular or pedestrian traffic when complete.

ANALYSIS:

The Western Science Center has requested the City waive its Development Impact Fee for Bridges, Signals, and Thoroughfares for the above referenced Multi-Purpose Building. While conceptually sound, the application does not include any evidence demonstrating no discernable increase in traffic.

Staff recommends deferral of the fees for three (3) years to give the applicant an opportunity to provide evidence of no discernable impact, and if such evidence is provided to the satisfaction of the City Engineer, for the City Manager to waive or reduce the fees.

DISCUSSION:

Page 1 of 10 ends

17.D

Page 917 of 926 ends

The City's development impact fees for the above project total $73,298.31 (see Attachment 2). The Bridges, Signals, and Thoroughfares fee requested for waiver is $35,424.00. This fee is designed to apply to projects that create pedestrian and vehicular traffic inducing impacts. The requested waiver, if supported by sufficient evidence, would be reasonable given that the anticipated recurring uses planned for the building including indoor lunches, indoor sports, pep rallies, etc. are not anticipated to result in a discernable change in vehicular or pedestrian traffic once the building is constructed. The deferral of the fees will give the applicant sufficient time to demonstrate the lack of impact.

STRATEGIC PLAN INTEGRATION:

GOAL FOUR: PARTNERSHIP & COLLABORATION
To pursue partnerships that will increase the opportunities available to the community, including our businesses, unemployed, and youth populations.

Objective 1: Develop concepts and programs to increase opportunities for youth recreation.

Objective 2: Develop concepts and programs to enhance the quality of life services.

Objective 3: Develop programs to offer support to the community's businesses

FISCAL IMPACT:

The impact of the requested action will be a reduction of potential City revenue of $35,424.00 for future bridge, signal, and thoroughfare projects.

ALTERNATIVE(S):

The Council may provide alternate direction to the City Manager.

Hemet, CA 92543

Dear Mr. Prestwich,

Western Science Center is an internationally-recognized 501c3 museum responsible for preserving archaeological and paleontological remains from the region, including Hemet, and hosts over 50,000 visitors each year. Western Center Academy is a Hemet Unified School District dependent STEM charter, and is among the top-performing middle and high schools in the nation. We take great pride in our organizations’ contributions to the quality of life in Hemet.

I’m writing concerning the status of a current construction project at the Western Science Center (WSC).

We are currently attempting to construct a multipurpose building to be used by Western Center Academy (WCA). While this building will be owned by WSC, it will be used to provide WCA students with space for indoor sports, theater productions and other arts activities, Makerspace, pep rallies, science fairs, lunches during inclement weather, and more. These activities all currently either take place outdoors, or in rooms too small for the activity.

This new building is simply providing an indoor facility to enhance the education of current and future WCA students. Its operation will not result in an increase in student enrollment or staff size at the school, nor will it result in an increase in visitation or staff size at the museum. We anticipate no changes in either vehicular or foot traffic due to the completion of this project. Therefore, we request that the City of Hemet consider exempting this project from the Development Impact Fee for Bridges, Signals, and Thoroughfares.

Thank you for your consideration,

Alton C. Dooley, Jr., Ph.D.

Executive Director
