2. If Contractor completely and properly performs all of its obligations under the Construction Contract, Surety and Contractor shall have no obligation under this Bond.

3. If there is no Owner Default, Surety’s obligation under this Bond shall arise after:

3.1 Owner provides Surety with written notice that Owner has declared a Contractor Default under the Construction Contract pursuant to the terms of the Construction Contract; and

3.2 Owner has agreed to pay the Balance of Contract Sum:

3.2.1 To Surety in accordance with the terms of this Bond and the Construction Contract; or

3.2.2 To a Contractor selected to perform the Construction Contract in accordance with the terms of this Bond and the Construction Contract.

4. When Owner has satisfied the conditions of Paragraph 3 above, Surety shall promptly (within 40 Days) and at Surety’s expense elect to take one of the following actions:

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

4.2 Undertake to perform and complete the Construction Contract itself, through its agents or through independent contractors or Construction entities; provided, that Surety may not select Contractor as its agent or independent contractor or Contractor without Owner’s consent; or

4.3 Undertake to perform and complete the Construction Contract by obtaining bids from qualified contractors or Construction entities acceptable to Owner for a contract for performance and completion of the Construction Contract and, upon determination by Owner of the lowest responsive and responsible Bidder, arrange for a contract to be prepared for execution by Owner and the contractor or Contractor selected with Owner’s concurrence, to be secured with performance and payment bonds executed by a qualified surety equivalent to the bonds issued on the Construction Contract; and, if Surety’s obligations defined in Paragraph 6 below, exceed the Balance of Contract Sum, then Surety shall pay to Owner the amount of such excess; or

23.E.

4.4 Waive its right to perform and complete, arrange for completion, or obtain a new contractor or Contractor, and with reasonable promptness under the circumstances and, after investigation and consultation with Owner, determine in good faith its monetary obligation to Owner under Paragraph 6 below, for the performance and completion of the Construction Contract and, as soon as practicable after the amount is determined, tender payment therefor to Owner with full explanation of the payment’s calculation. If Owner accepts Surety’s tender under this Paragraph

4.4 above, Owner may still hold Surety liable for future damages then unknown or unliquidated resulting from the Contractor Default, as agreed by Owner and Surety at the time of tender. If Owner disputes the amount of Surety’s tender under this Paragraph 4.4 above, Owner may exercise all remedies available to it at law to enforce Surety’s liability under Paragraphs 6 and 6.3 below.

5. At all times Owner shall be entitled to enforce any remedy available to Owner at law or under the Construction Contract including, without limitation, and by way of example only, rights to perform work, protect Work, mitigate damages, advance critical Work to mitigate schedule delay, and coordinate Work with other consultants or contractors.

6. If Surety elects to act under Paragraphs 4.1, 4.2 or 4.3 above, within the time period provided in Paragraph 4, above, and complies with its obligations under this Bond, Surety’s obligations under this Bond are commensurate with Contractor’s Construction Contract obligations.

7. If Surety does not elect to act under Paragraphs 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, or 4.4, above, within the time period provided in Paragraph 4, above, or comply with its obligations under this Bond, then Surety shall be deemed to be in default on this Bond ten Days after receipt of an additional written notice from Owner to Surety demanding that Surety perform its obligations under this Bond.

To the extent Surety’s independent default causes Owner to suffer damages including, but not limited to, delay damages, which are different from, or in addition to (but not duplicative of) damages which Owner is entitled to receive under the Construction Contract, Surety shall also be liable for such damages. In the event any Surety obligation following its independent default is inconsistent or conflicts with California Civil Code Section 2809, or any other law which either prohibits, restricts, limits or modifies in any way any obligation of a surety which is larger in amount or in any other respect more burdensome than that of the principal, Surety hereby waives the provisions of such laws to that extent.

Surety consents to all terms of the Construction Contract, including provisions on changes to the Contract. No extension of time, change, alteration, Modification, deletion, or addition to the Contract Documents, or of the Work (including services) required thereunder, or any Owner action in accordance with Paragraph 5 above shall release or exonerate Surety on this Bond or in any way affect the obligations of Surety on this Bond, unless such action is an Owner Default.

11. Any proceeding, legal or equitable, under this Bond shall be instituted in any court of competent jurisdiction where a proceeding is pending between Owner and Contractor regarding the Construction Contract, or in the Superior Court of the County of Riverside, California, or in a court of competent jurisdiction in the location in which the Work is located. Communications from Owner to Surety under Paragraph 3.1 above shall be deemed to include the necessary agreements under Paragraph 3.2 above unless expressly stated otherwise.

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

A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Hemet, California, Approving Additional Construction Expenditures for the Echo Hills Phase III Waterline Project, CIP 5598, to Construct the Alessandro Waterline Upgrade in an Amount Not to Exceed an Additional $557,326 for a Total Project Cost of $1,107,452 and Authorize the Administrative Services Director to Transfer $557,326 from CIP 5657 to CIP 5598 to Cover the Construction Cost of the Alessandro Waterline Upgrade Project and Authorize the City Manager to Execute all Related Documents
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

It is respectfully recommended that the City Council:

Adopt a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Hemet, California, Approving Additional Construction Expenditures for the Echo Hills Phase III Waterline Project, CIP 5598, to Construct the Alessandro Waterline Upgrade in an Amount Not to Exceed an Additional $557,326 for a Total Project Cost of $1,107,452 and Authorize the Administrative Services Director to Transfer $557,326 from CIP 5657 to CIP 5598 to Cover the Construction Cost of the Alessandro Waterline Upgrade Project and Authorize the City Manager to Execute all Related Documents.

BACKGROUND:

On June 24, 2025, the City Council approved the Echo Hills Waterline Phase III Project (CIP 5598) to Elias Engineering. This project, currently underway, involves replacing a 4-inch waterline with an 8- inch line to complete the upgrade between Chambers Street and Buena Vista Street to Santa Fe and Thornton.

During staff’s review of active Capital Improvement Projects, a conflict was identified between the timing for CIP 5657 construction and the upcoming CIP 2407 Citywide Pavement Rehabilitation Project. CIP 5657 includes a waterline upgrade on Alessandro Street from Florida Avenue to Devonshire Avenue, which is to be repaved in the scope of work included in CIP 2407 that the City Council awarded to All American Asphalt on May 27, 2025. CIP 2407 construction is scheduled to commence in late August 2025.

23.G.

ANALYSIS:

To reduce the impact on the community and nearby residents, staff secured a proposal from Elias Engineering, the construction contractor that was awarded the Echo Hills Waterline Phase III Project (CIP 5598), to complete the waterline upgrade on Alessandro Street ahead of the scheduled paving to be completed by CIP 2407. The majority of the scope of work on Alessandro Street has competitively bid contract pricing to complete this work. There will be synergy with the paving that will come in right behind this work and will save on trench repair costs. There will be some additional work in the paving scope at the intersections along this segment of Alessandro Street in which the construction contractor for CIP 2407 will complete.

The project for the Alessandro Waterline upgrade includes replacing an existing 4-inch diameter waterline with an 8-inch diameter waterline from Florida Ave. to Devonshire Ave. This will include the installation of additional Fire Hydrants in the area, and ensure adequate water flow during crucial times of need.

The following illustrates the proposed project location.

DISCUSSION:

Installing the waterline on Alessandro Street before the pavement rehabilitation project will help minimize disruption to the community and nearby residents. Completing this work in advance also protects the investment in the new pavement and will not cause any delays for making this infrastructure improvement due to the City's pavement cut moratorium.

PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
 On July 8, 2025, Council approved the Fiscal year 2025-2026 through Fiscal Year 2029-2030 Capital Improvement Plan.
 On June 24, 2025 Council approved the award of CIP 5598.

STRATEGIC PLAN INTEGRATION:

23.G.

GOAL ONE: QUALITY OF LIFE:

To ensure that Hemet is safe, clean, attractive and comfortable for all who live, work, and visit.

Objective 1: Enhance the visual appearance of the community to make it attractive and reduce blight.

Objective 2: Explore and implement homelessness solutions for the City of Hemet.

Objective 3: Increase Public Safety visibility and response.

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:

Echo Hills Waterline Phase III (CIP 5598) was previously appropriated in the amount of $550,126.00.

With the addition of the Alessandro St. waterline in the amount of $592,600.00, the total estimated amount for the project is as follows:

Phase Cost
Design $31,500.00
Construction Contract-Echo Hills Portion $434,626.00
Lake Hemet Reimbursement $3,000.00
Materials Testing $10,0000.00
Construction Management $27,000.00
Project Contingency (Approx. 10%) $44,000.00
Alessandro Waterline portion $557,326.00
Total Project Cost $1,107,452.00
ALTERNATIVE(S):

1. Do not approve transfer of CIP funds from CIP 5657 to CIP 5598 to cover construction cost related to the Alessandro St. Waterline Upgrade.

2. Provide alternative direction to the City Manager.

It is respectfully recommended that the City Council:

Adopt a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Hemet, California, approving an amendment to the City's Classification and Compensation Plan to include the new position of Economic Development Director, adding the position to the approved Budgeted Position List for Fiscal Year 2025-26, and authorizing the Administrative Services Director to establish supplemental appropriations in the amount of $205,000 to General Fund.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Hemet continually evaluates staffing and structure to promote organizational efficiency and deliver enhanced customer service to the community. As such, the City may need to make adjustments periodically to support these goals and to progress City services forward. As the City continues to grow and provide additional services, demand for these services will be met through the addition of new positions and through the revision of existing positions.

ANALYSIS:

As necessary departments request new positions and revisions to existing positions based on a variety of factors including staffing structure, funding, and project support. The City Manager has requested the creation of a new classification of Economic Development Director to better support economic development administration.

23.H.

The establishment of this new position ensures the orderly development and promotion of the City's economic and business base contributing to the overall wellbeing of the community. To further this economic momentum, the City Manager is recommending the City Council authorize the creation of an Economic Development Director position and approve an updated salary schedule to include the new classification. The Economic Development Director position will be placed in the City Manager's Office as recommended for consideration by the Citygate Associates Development Review Process and Staffing Analysis.

The addition of the Economic Development Director position will allow for greater oversight and enhanced span of control over economic development activities and responsibilities. This will allow for greater support on multiple complex projects as well as day-to-day operations and operational continuity of the department.

The proposed qualifications of the Economic Development Director position are as follows:
 Education: Bachelor's Degree
 Master Degree is highly desirable.
 Experience: Seven (7) years progressively responsible experience in economic development, community development, and business development, including three (3) years of experience in a supervisory capacity.

Based on a market-based salary survey, the proposed salary range for the Economic Development Director position is as follows:
 $176,016 - $235,884 annually
The addition of a classification to the salary schedule does not automatically create an authorized vacancy. Requests to fill vacancies need to follow all applicable personnel rules, MOU terms, and resolutions.

The Economic Development Director is a designated At-Will full-time benefitted position and is not subject to meet and confer procedures pursuant to the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act (MMBA).

DISCUSSION:

City Council Meeting

STAFF REPORT
Meeting: City Council Meeting - Aug 12 2025
Department: Administration
Submitted by: Mark Prestwich, City Manager
Kristian Ticas, Community Solutions Coordinator;
☐ Receive and File ☒ Consent Calendar ☐ Business Item ☐ Public Hearing TITLE:

Authorization for City Manager to Execute Lease Agreement No. 2026-004 on City-Owned Property between the City of Hemet and Victory Outreach
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 Execute Lease Agreement No. 2026-004 on City-Owned Property located at the Simpson Community Center, between the City of Hemet and Victory Outreach Hemet.

BACKGROUND:

On August 13, 2024, the City of Hemet adopted Resolution No. 2024-152, which gave the City Manager approval to enter into City lease agreements with Vallarta Market and Victory Outreach for the leasing of the Simpson Center building located at 305 E Devonshire Ave, Hemet, CA 92543.

Since then, Victory Outreach has exercised its lease option and requests to extend its agreement with the City for another year.

ANALYSIS:

If accepted, Agreement No. 2026-004 will create a new lease agreement with Victory Outreach for the Simpson Center building with a couple slight modifications from their previous agreement.

First, there are a few changes to the space the tenant has access to reflected in Exhibit "A" of the agreement, in order to make available the commercial kitchen space for any future alterations/plans the City might designate for that area. Additionally, the City's insurance requirements have increased and are now reflected in the updated proposed agreement. There was no increase in the rental rate, due to the fact that the main auditorium used by the tenant has no functioning A/C unit working in that designated area.

23.I.

Here are key points summarizing the new agreement:
 $2,500 per month rental rate.
 Lease term goes into effect October 1, 2025.
 One year term expiring on September 30, 2026.
 Tenant to have an option to extend for one (1) year, upon mutual written agreement.

PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:

City Council approved the existing lease on August 13, 2024.

Objective 1: Develop business practices that welcome new development by streamlining processes.

Objective 2: Provide resources for new businesses to enhance the customer service experience.

GOAL THREE: COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
To connect and participate in a constant dialogue between members of the community, City staff, and elected officials to promote togetherness and positivity.

Objective 1: Deliver messaging to the Community that connects, is consistent, and relevant.

Objective 2: Increase transparency for the public.

Objective 3: Increase the community's pride within the City.

23.I.

- 10 -
elected to terminate this Agreement, Landlord may either recover all rent as it becomes due under this Agreement or relet the specific rooms shown in Exhibit “A” on the first floor or any part or parts thereof for such term or terms and upon such provisions as Landlord may deem advisable and will have the right to make repairs to and alterations of any or all of the specific rooms shown in Exhibit “A” on the first floor.

If Landlord elects to relet the specific rooms shown in Exhibit “A” on the first floor located at the Simpson Center, 305 E.

(i) First, to any indebtedness from Tenant to Landlord other than rent due from Tenant;

(iii) Third, to the payment of rent due and unpaid under this Agreement and the residue, if any, will be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future rent as the same may become due and payable under this Agreement, and to any damages and other amounts which Landlord is otherwise entitled to under this Agreement. Should that portion of such rent received from such reletting during any month, which is applied to the payment of rent hereunder, be less than the rent payable hereunder during that month by Tenant, then Tenant agrees to pay such deficiency to Landlord immediately upon demand. In no event will Tenant be entitled to any excess rent received by Landlord from such reletting.
(b) Landlord can terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the specific rooms shown in Exhibit “A” on the first floor located at the Simpson Center, 305 E. Devonshire Ave.

Hemet, CA 92543, at any time. No act by Landlord other than giving written notice to Tenant will terminate this Agreement. Acts of maintenance, efforts to relet the specific rooms shown in Exhibit “A” on the first floor located at the Simpson Center, 305 E. Devonshire Ave. Hemet, CA 92543, or the appointment of a receiver on Landlord’s initiative to protect Landlord’s interest under this Agreement shall not constitute a termination of Tenant’s right to possession. On termination, Landlord has the right to recover from Tenant:
(i) The worth, at the time of the award, of the unpaid rent that had been earned at the time of termination of this Agreement;
(ii) The worth, at the time of the award, of the amount by which the unpaid rent that would have been earned after the date of termination of this Agreement until the time of award exceeds the amount of the loss of rent that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided;

23.I.

- 11 -
(iii) The worth, at the time of the award, of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of the loss of rent that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; and (iv) Any other amount, and court costs, necessary to compensate Landlord for all detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s default. “The worth, at the time of the award,” as used in (i) and (ii) of this subsection (b), is to be computed by allowing interest at the maximum rate an individual is permitted by law to charge. “The worth, at the time of the award,” as referred to in (iii) of this subsection (b), is to be computed by discounting the amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of the award, plus 1%.
(c) Landlord can have a receiver appointed to collect rent and conduct Tenant’s business.

Developed through a collaboration between the City and Rancho Vet, the event strengthens the ongoing partnership between the City of Hemet and local small businesses. It also offers a unique opportunity for community members to connect with local leaders, enjoy a new outdoor activity, and promote both civic pride and economic growth.

The City of Hemet is proud to announce a one-of-a-kind Rodeo Del Sol Festival presented in partnership with Rancho Vet. The event, a family-friendly celebration, will take place on Saturday, September 13, 2025, from 11:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. at Rancho Vet, located in the City of Hemet. The event will feature a variety of activities beginning at 11:00 a.m. with over 10 food trucks, live music, games, giveaways, and activities for all ages, making it a standout celebration for the City of Hemet.

Free parking will be available throughout the event.

The festival will cost over $10,000 and be covered by Rancho Vet, along with all the property needed for the show. Rancho Vet has requested that the City waive the various permitting fees for the upcoming festival, and especially as it is a family-friendly community event for Hemet residents.

City of Hemet
City Council Meeting

STAFF REPORT
Meeting: City Council Meeting - Aug 12 2025
Department: Information Technology
Submitted by: Mark Prestwich, City Manager
Scott Underwood, Information Technology Manager;
☐ Receive and File ☒ Consent Calendar ☐ Business Item ☐ Public Hearing TITLE:

A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Hemet, California, for the Approval of the City Council Chambers Audio Visual Upgrade by Executing Agreements with Western Audio Visual for the Purchase and Installation of New Audio, Visual, Voting, Lighting and Broadcasting Systems in the Amount of $315,599.30; Approve a 35 Percent Contingency in the Amount of $110,459.75; Authorize Additional Construction Expenditures in the Amount of $100,000; and Authorize the City Manager to Execute these Agreements, Purchase Orders, and all Other Supporting Documents Related to these Agreements
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

It is respectfully recommended that the City Council:

Adopt a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Hemet, California, for the Approval of the City Council Chambers Audio Visual upgrade by Executing Agreements with Western Audio Visual for the purchase and installation of new audio, visual, voting, lighting and broadcasting systems in the Amount of $315,599.30; Approve a 35 percent contingency in the amount of $110,459.75; Authorize additional Construction Expenditures in the amount of $100,000; and Authorize the City Manager to Execute these Agreements, Purchase Orders, and all Other Supporting Documents Related to these Agreements.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Hemet last completed a significant upgrade to its existing City Council Chambers in the early 1990s. This work brought the meeting space up to Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance.

Presently, the City of Hemet's Council Chamber contains aging and inadequate lighting, audio, visual, and voting equipment for public meetings. This system is a patchwork of fixes and enhancements to meeting room solutions installed in excess of 40 years ago. For decades, the technology needed to record, live broadcast, or accept remote participation over the Internet wasn't available nor considered necessary. Systems sufficient for simple in-person meetings were deemed satisfactory to conduct the City's business.

23.K.

For several years, the City of Hemet has had its own franchise agreement with the local cable TV provider. In addition to cable franchise fee revenue, this agreement previously provided the City with 'in-kind' services, including an Institutional Network (I-Net) along with free content programming assistance of a Public, Educational and Governmental (PEG) access channel broadcast over the cable TV system. This channel provided the local area with a televised community bulletin board.

In 2006, the Digital Infrastructure and Video Competition Act of 2006 (DIVCA) became law with the Governor's approval of Assembly Bill 2987. At that time, local government cable franchise agreements transitioned under a single franchising authority, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). Existing local contracts were allowed to expire and renew under the CPUC. At that time, 'in-kind' services such as I-Net transitioned to paid services.

Following the passage of DIVCA, the City of Hemet sent out a notice to all cable customers that the PEG access channel was realigning to a "Government TV" channel. This change dropped the channel's public and educational requirements, better aligning it with PEG access channel usage by surrounding local governments. This change allows for the broadcast of content related to local government operations, public affairs and content of informational or historic value to the public. This includes live or recorded broadcasts of public meetings, public service announcements and community events.

In August 2013 Spectrum Cable ceased all programming assistance for the PEG access channel. At that time full control and programming of the PEG access channel transitioned to the City of Hemet.

On February 28, 2017 the City Council directed a transition to meeting action minutes supplemented with public meetings posted on YouTube for public viewing. Also requested was a move towards displaying meeting video on the City's PEG access channel. With limited available technology, these meetings were initially conducted over home-grade security cameras with video exported and uploaded to YouTube after the meeting.

In 2020, during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, attendance at public meetings was extremely restricted. Remote participation in public meetings became a requirement. At that time, the City migrated from security cameras with a telephone conference call link to public ZOOM calls. While this was an improvement over the security cameras, it lacked broadcast-quality video, audio, and seamless integration of remote participants. Additionally, both the security camera and ZOOM solutions suffer from one flaw. Both entirely depend on a functional Internet connection to conduct public meetings. The loss of Internet connectivity before or during a public meeting effectively stops the meeting.

Presently, the use of cable franchise fees (commonly referred to as 'Restricted General Funds' or 'PEG') collected through the CPUC's agreements is heavily restricted. An acceptable use of these funds includes capital expenditures related to the broadcast of Government TV content over the cable TV system. This includes broadcast control rooms, studio upgrades, portable/mobile capabilities, lighting, audio, visuals, and camera hardware. Under Government TV, the studio is any location where a public meeting is routinely held.

One of the City Council's Fiscal Year 2024-25 "Highest Priority" initiatives included enhancing audio in the City Council Chambers. In accordance with this Strategic Plan initiative, released an Audio, Visual, Lighting, Voting and Broadcasting Systems Upgrade Request for Proposals (RFP) in May 2025. The RFP closed on July 18, 2025 and yielded five proposals. One proposal was pulled on

23.K.

request of the submitting bidder for failure to include all requested bid items. This resulted in a total of four complete proposals being received. The cost of the four proposals are as follows:

Western Audio Visual Matrix Audio Visual Integrated Media SolutionZ $315,599.30 $576,824.00 $636,135.30 $1,073,576.86
ANALYSIS:

What is Being Replaced
The RFP requested a complete turn-key replacement of audio, visual, lighting, voting, and broadcasting systems currently in place at the Council Chambers. This includes the removal and disposal of all existing equipment. By not reutilizing existing equipment we eliminate incompatibilities and ensure all systems are designed to work at their greatest capacity and efficiency.

The Scope of Work includes:

Audio System
 Microphones (wired and wireless)
 Speakers (for audience and council)
 Assistive Listening System (ALS)
Video System
 Displays/Monitors (for audience, presenter &
council)
 Signal Distribution and Switching (the ability to
display meeting video signals on
displays/monitors and the broadcast feed)
 Cameras (multiple angles)
Lighting  Remote controllable broadcast-grade lighting for Dais.
 Retrofit audience lighting to LED
Voting
 Touchscreen voting at Dais
 Digital nameplates at all Dais positions
 Digital feed of voting results to monitors and
broadcasted feed.

Broadcast System / Control Room
 Video signal displays
 Audio/Video Equipment rack
 Backup power
 Recorded video storage
 Broadcast / Playback (PEG TV cable channels)
 Video products (inputs, presentations, closed
captioning, lower thirds, remote feeds, news
media feeds)
 Streaming (Internet / Social Media)
 Furniture, Lighting
 Computers, Networking
 Remote participation / telephone Connectivity
 Broadcast Intercom (between City Clerk &

 Four annual preventative maintenance visits
 Four hour service level agreement during
business days (Monday through Friday)
 Unlimited emergency & telephone support
 Removal, reinstallation, configuration, testing
and alignment or repaired equipment
 Subject to cancellation for lack of funds.

Bid Review Process
Bidders were instructed to provide their best recommended solutions to fully replace these legacy systems. Additionally, several items were called out in the scope of work related to their function or specifically required quantity. These included solution coverage (5 Years), wireless presenting capabilities and hardware counts of microphones, dais speakers, etc.

Upon review, all bidders had discrepancies pertaining to these items. Those items include:

Bidder Discrepancy
Western Audio Visual * Retrofit of existing lighting to LED fixtures missing Matrix Audio Visual
* No wireless mics or stands
* 1 missing dais speaker
* 3 year subscription on voting solution
Integrated Media * No video in lobby/hallway
* No wireless presentation solution
SolutionZ * Missing 5 wireless mics and stands
Additional Construction Expenditures
Information Technology then reached out to our counterparts in Facilities Maintenance to discuss the cost of these missing items and additional 'out-of-scope' construction work the project would require.

These out-of-scope items include:
 A partition wall with door separating the Council Chambers broadcast control room and the existing PD conference room.
 A dedicated air conditioning unit for the video control room.  A gated divider separates the open space east of the existing dais from the audience.  Dais millwork is necessary to address cable routing and technology placement.

23.K.

The missing items listed in the Western Audio Visual bid (retrofitting existing lighting with LED) were the closest in scope and trade to the additional 'out-of-scope' construction work. When added together, the estimated cost of the items listed above, including retrofitting existing lighting, came in at $100,000.

The additional construction expenditures listed above will follow all existing City procurement policies and procedures.

Project Contingency:

Due to the scope, building age, and complexity of the systems being replaced with the City Council Chambers Audio and Visual Upgrade, a 35% contingency fund is recommended. This fund will ensure any unknown or unforeseen issues found during the completion of this project can be quickly mitigated.

DISCUSSION:

The bid responses received for this project ranged from $315,599.30 to $1,073,576.86. Due to the large range in final bids, City staff took extra care to determine if any items were missing and their cost impact to the overall project.

Upon review, all vendors had discrepancies in their bids compared to the scope of work requested in the RFP. These must be mitigated to ensure a usable, turn-key solution is provided to the City within the requested RFP specifications.

Additionally, some additional construction work will be required to complete this project. This includes:
 Dividing the existing Police conference room (located south of the dais) into two usable workspaces. One for Police use and one for the broadcast control room.  Installing dedicated air conditioning (cooling) in the broadcast control room to keep audio/visual equipment running efficiently.
 Dais millwork (woodwork) to accommodate the electronics (touchscreens, digital nameplates, speakers, and microphones) being added.
 A gated divider to secure the dais from unauthorized public entry.

As these items fall well outside the scope and skillset of the four responsive bidders, these items will need to be procured separately following all City procurement policies and procedures.

Upon calculation of the additional construction work, project contingency, cost of the discrepancies of the lowest responsive bidder's proposal (Western Audio Visual), and Western Audio Visual's submitted proposal, the total project cost was $50,764.95, less than the next lowest responsive bidder's proposal. This recommendation was reviewed and concurred with by City Council Liaison Joe Males, and also ensures the City is within the originally budgeted amount for this project.

PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:

23.K.

On February 28, 2017 the City of Hemet City Council directed a transition to meeting action minutes supplemented with public meetings posted on YouTube for public viewing. Also requested was a move towards displaying meeting video on the City's PEG access channel.
