A. General: Tree Staking and Tree Guying shall be per the direction of the Landscape Architect.

Staking and/or guying of trees shall be completed immediately following tree planting operations.

1. Contactor shall provide new Tree Stake or Tree Guy assemblies; reconditioned or previously-used Tree Stake or Tree Guy assemblies shall not be permitted. Provide one (1) set of Tree Staking materials or Tree Guying materials per tree, as required. Trees shall remain plumb and straight from installation through the Contractor Warranty period.

Staking and Guying assemblies shall remain the property of the Owner.

B. Staking/Guying Methodology: Unless otherwise directed on the Contract Drawings or as directed by the Landscape Architect based on field conditions, provide the following Staking/Guying Assemblies, as measured by the size of the tree being supported:

1. 5-gallon size Container Stock to 36”-Box Tree, or for trees up to 3” caliper: Provide Staking Method. Number of stakes per tree shall be as directed herein this Section.

C. Tree Staking Method:

1. Single Tree Stake (Wooden or Metal):
a. Locate Stake at the closest point to the main trunk as possible, yet outside of the root ball and tree branch canopy.
b. Firmly drive the tapered end of the Stake plumb into the undisturbed native subgrade, perpendicular to the side of the prevailing wind, at the minimum depth indicated in the Contract Drawings, or deeper, as required, to firmly support the Stake and minimize any movement of the Stake. Do not damage the tree trunk nor branch canopy, nor penetrate the root ball with the Stake. Do not damage or splinter the Stake. Stake shall not touch the trunk nor branch canopy of the tree.

2. Double Tree Stakes (Wooden or Metal):
a. Locate Stakes at the closest point to the main trunk as possible, yet outside of the root ball and tree branch canopy.
b. Firmly drive the tapered end of one (1) of the Stakes plumb into the undisturbed native sub-grade, perpendicular to the side of the prevailing wind, at the minimum depth indicated in the Contract Drawings, or deeper, as required, to firmly support the Stake and minimize any movement of the Stake. Do not damage the tree trunk or branch canopy, nor penetrate the root ball with the Stake. Do not damage or splinter the Stake.
c. Install the other Stake in similar fashion, directly opposite from the first Stake (180 degrees), and equidistant from the tree trunk.
d. Installed Stakes shall not touch the trunk nor branch canopy of the tree.

3. Tying to Tree Stakes (Wooden or Metal):
a. Tree Straps: Wrap and twist the Tree Strap around the tree trunk, at the lowest point where the tree gains the highest support, per the direction of the Landscape Architect. Secure the Strap with wire; thread the wire through the grommet ends of the Strap and twist wire to secure. Wrap other end of wire around the Stake, twist, and secure it to the Stake. (For Metal Stakes, thread wire through holes drilled through the stake). Repeat for other Stake(s), as required. For trees requiring multiple tree straps, locate additional straps as required along the tree

ADDENDUM 02

trunk to provide additional vertical support. Cut off and bend back excessive wire beyond the twists to the Stake(s) to provide a safe condition. The tree shall be supported accordingly to assure a straight, firm position of the tree canopy, yet to allow enough slack to avoid rigid restraint of the tree. b. Once the tree is thoroughly staked, carefully remove the nursery stake(s). Backfill and tamp the nursery stake void(s) with planting soil.

D. Tree Guying: Install guying assembly per the Manufacturer’s latest printed instructions.

3.6 INSTALLATION OF EROSION CONTROL MATERIALS
A. Clear away trash, large stones, and other debris. Prepare sub grade; fine grade area to receive Erosion Control Material, eliminating footprints, tracks, and ruts.

B. Sequences: For hydroseed applications, install the seed slurry prior to installing the Erosion Control Material. In applications where rooted stock is planted on the slope, care shall be exercised to prevent disruption or damage to the underlying material.

C. Unroll Material as close as possible to its intended final position to minimize the need to drag the Material which would dislocate underlying materials or disturb the prepared sub grade or planting. Install Material flush and completely in contact with the ground. Confirm that there is no tension on the Material to minimize soil contact.

D. Overlap Material at a minimum of four-inches (4”) on the sides and eighteen-inches (18”) on the ends. Staples shall be inserted at intervals no greater than three-feet (3’) on-center along overlaps and down the center of each roll length.

E. Joining rolls of the Material shall be installed at the down-channel end of the installed roll, which should overlap the up-channel end of the roll being installed. Overlap should be a minimum of eighteen-inches (18”). Equally set staples on twelve-inch (12”) on-center spacing.

F. Anchor slot at top of slope shall be installed by burying up-channel end in a six-inch (6”) minimum deep trench. Equally set staples on twelve-inch (12”) on-center spacing.

G. On slopes less than six-feet (6’) in height, Material may be installed with roll perpendicular to the contours.

H. The terminal fold shall be installed by bringing the Material down to the level area before terminating. Turn the end under a minimum of six-inches (6”). Equally set staples across the fold at twelve-inch (12”) on-center spacing.

3.7 INSTALLATION OF LANDSCAPE EDGINGS (EDGINGS)
A. General: Install in location(s) in solid undisturbed soil, or in soil set at ninety-percent (90%) relative compaction, at areas as indicated on the Contract Drawings.

1. Horizontal Alignments:

(Public Works Director Joe SanClemente)
Recommended Action:

Staff recommends City Council:

1. Award a construction contract for Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Project 619–Kelly Courts Improvements to KYA Services, LLC. in the amount of $797,766 (Attachment 1), ratifying City staff determination that lower bids were nonresponsive (lowest-bid) and non-responsible (second lowest-bid) as applicable;

2. Authorize the Director of Public Works to establish a project contingency amount of $160,000 and to approve contract change orders up to the amount of the approved project contingency;

4. Authorize the Mayor to execute the construction contract and the City Clerk to attest, subject to approval by the City Attorney; and

5. Authorize the Director of Public Works to file a Notice of Completion following final completion of the project.

Executive Summary:

CIP 619–Kelly Courts Improvements includes, but is not limited to, renovating the existing pickleball, tennis, and basketball courts, collectively identified as Kelly Courts. Staff received six bids for the construction of the project and recommends City Council award a construction contract to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder, KYA Services, LLC.

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 7
Background:

In 2017, Council approved the conversion of one of the two tennis courts located at the Kelly Courts into four permanent pickleball courts, reflecting the sport's growing popularity and the community's commitment to an active lifestyle. In summer of 2020, two of the four pickleball courts were closed due to safety concerns. Over time, the increased usage and exposure to environmental elements at the Kelly Courts have led to noticeable wear and tear on the court surfaces and fencing. To address these concerns and ensure the facilities meet established standards for the courts’ layout and dimensions, the City initiated CIP 619–Kelly Courts Improvements.

The project includes:
 Court restriping to meet standards for each court’s layout and dimensions recommended by USA Pickleball Association and American Institute of Architects (AID) for recreational play;
 Court resurfacing;
 Wall replacement west of the pickleball and tennis courts;  New interior fencing;
 New vinyl coated mesh fabric for all fencing;
 New wind screens;
 New court lighting system for the pickleball and tennis courts;  New basketball posts with safety pole pad, nets, and backboards;  New Americans with Disabilities (ADA) compliant concrete walkway from the adjacent parking lot to the west side of the courts.

The proposed improvements aim to revitalize the Kelly Courts, ensuring they serve as a premier recreational facility for Hermosa Beach residents and reaffirm the City’s dedication to providing recreational amenities that promote health and wellbeing within the community. In addition, the improvements would allow for the reopening of the two temporarily closed south pickleball courts providing a total of four pickleball courts as approved by City Council at its March 28, 2017 meeting.

Analysis:

In December 2024, staff issued Notice Inviting Bids 24-011 inviting experienced and qualified construction firms to submit a bid for construction of the project through a competitive process. The notice was advertised in the Easy Reader, on the City’s website, the City’s online bidding platform, PlanetBids, and in relevant construction trade journals.

During the advertisement period, 72 prospective bidders downloaded the project documents from PlanetBids, including general contractors and subcontractors. Staff held a pre-bid site walk on January 14, 2025, attended by 10 participants.

On January 23, 2025, the City received a total of six bids, which were opened and read aloud by the City Clerk. The bid results are provided in Attachment 3 and summarized below.

Bid Results

BIDDER BID AMOUNT
Concept Consultant, Inc. $745,206.59
ARIX, Inc. $747,966.00
KYA Services, LLC $797,766.00
US Builders & Consultants $887,900.00
CSI Services $912,591.20
HZS Engineering, Inc. $997,567.00
All six bids are within the available funding for the project identified in the Fiscal Year 2024–25 budget. Staff reviewed the bids received and found that the lowest bidder, Concept Consultant, Inc., submitted an invalid bid value, deeming this bidder nonresponsive. Concept Consultant, Inc. contested this determination and provided a Bid Protest Letter, dated February 6, 2025. Staff reviewed the Bid Protest Letter and determined that the bid irregularity was material and could not be waived, as it created an unfair competitive advantage. Even if it could be waived, the City is not required to do so as such waivers are discretionary.

In accordance with Public Contract Code 5100 et seq., staff rejected the protest and confirmed that the bid was non-responsive. A formal letter was issued to Concept Consultant, Inc. on February 12, 2025 outlining the reasons for rejection. Concept Consultant, Inc. responded by letter on February 17, 2025 further protesting and appealing staff’s determination, but not in the manner required by the bid documents for an appeal to the City Council. The City Council remains free to entertain Concept Consultant, Inc.’s protest and the basis thereof if it wishes to do so, although staff

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 4 of 7
observes that it was, is, and remains to appear to lack legal or factual merit for the reasons articulated in the accompanying correspondence.

The second lowest bidder, ARIX, Inc., did not include an adequate number of references or years of experience, deeming the bidder non-responsible. ARIX, Inc. did not contest this determination. Therefore, the two lowest bidders were found to be non-responsive and non-responsible, and their bids were disqualified.

The third lowest bidder, KYA Services LLC., was found to be the lowest responsible and responsive bidder with a bid in the amount of $797,766 (Attachment 6). Staff confirmed KYA Services LLC.’s contractor license is active and in good standing with the Contractor’s State License Board. Staff contacted KYA Services references and confirmed their competency through completion of recent projects of similar scope of work within the past five years. Past clients include the City of Seal Beach, Palos Verdes Unified School District, Azusa Unified School District, and Taft Union High School. All reviewed projects were completed on time and within budget. Overall, staff finds KYA Services, LLC to be a qualified contractor to complete the proposed work for the subject project and recommends City Council award the construction contract to KYA Services, LLC (Attachment 1).

If awarded, staff would provide construction management with additional inspection services provided by one of the City’s on-call civil engineering firms during construction.

Staff anticipates construction to start as soon as April 2025, with an anticipated completion date in June 2025. Additionally, as the current hours and use polices for the Kelly pickleball courts were formed during the temporary closure of two of the four pickleball courts, staff would form a stakeholder group consisting of representatives from the local neighborhood and members of the pickleball community to consider necessary use policy updates to accompany four pickleball courts to recommend to the Commission and Council.

ADA Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan Consistency
The project is consistent with the goals of the adopted 2022 Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan as it advances the construction of improvements that remove physical barriers and facilitate access for all individuals.

Environmental Analysis
The Project is exempt under CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 (Existing Facilities). The proposed work is a minor alteration of existing public structures or facilities involving negligible or no expansion of existing use. Further the Project is exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15302 (Replacement and Reconstruction) as the proposed work consists of reconstruction of existing court structures where the new courts will be located on the same site as the structure replaced and will have substantially

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 5 of 7
the same purpose and capacity as the structure replaced. No exceptions to the CEQA exemption apply.

The lowest responsible and responsive bidder, KYA Services, LLC., submitted its bid at $797,766. Staff recommends establishing a contingency of $160,000 to cover any unforeseen conditions or additional work required during construction for a total construction contract budget not to exceed $957,766.

Sufficient funds are available in the Tyco Fund, Park/Rec Facility Tax Fund and the Capital Improvement Fund to cover construction costs for CIP–619 Kelly Courts Renovations.

The funds would cover the full construction, as well as construction management and inspection services for the project. Any unused funds would be returned to the Capital Improvement Fund.

1 CONTRACT AGREEMENT
This Construction Agreement (“Agreement”) is made and entered into as of the date executed by the Mayor and attested to by the City Clerk, by and between KYA Services, LLC. (hereinafter referred to as "CONTRACTOR") and the City of Hermosa Beach, California, a municipal corporation (hereinafter referred to as "CITY").

R E C I T A L S

All of the provisions of said contract documents are made a part hereof as though fully set forth herein. This contract is intended to require a complete and finished piece of work and anything necessary to complete the work properly and in accordance with the law and lawful governmental regulations shall be performed by CONTRACTOR whether set out specifically in the contract or not. Should it be ascertained that any

2 inconsistency exists between the aforesaid documents and this written agreement, the provisions of this Agreement, the Builders General Provisions and the Standard Specifications, in that order, shall control. Collectively, these contract documents constitute the complete agreement between CITY and CONTRACTOR and supersede any previous agreements or understandings.

3. COMPENSATION: CONTRACTOR agrees to receive and accept the prices set forth in its Bid Proposal $797,766.00, as full compensation for furnishing all materials, performing all work, and fulfilling all obligations hereunder. Said compensation shall cover all expenses, losses, damages, and consequences arising out of the nature of the work during its progress or prior to its acceptance including those for well and faithfully completing the work and the whole thereof in the manner and time specified in the aforesaid contract documents; and also including those arising from actions of the elements, unforeseen difficulties or obstructions encountered in the prosecution of the work, suspension or discontinuance of the work, and all other unknowns or risks of any description connected with the work.

4. TIME OF PERFORMANCE: CONTRACTOR agrees to complete the work within 25 working days from the date of the notice to proceed. By signing this Agreement, CONTRACTOR represents to CITY that the contract time is reasonable for completion of the work and that CONTRACTOR will complete such work within the contract time.

5. LIQUIDATED DAMAGES: In accordance with Government Code section 53069.85, it is agreed that CONTRACTOR will pay to CITY the sum set forth in Part 1 General Provisions Section 6-9 for each and every calendar day of delay beyond the time prescribed in the Contract Documents for finishing the Work, as Liquidated Damages and not as a penalty or forfeiture. In the event this is not paid, CONTRACTOR agrees CITY may deduct that amount from any money due or that may become due CONTRACTOR under the Contract.

This Article does not exclude recovery of other damages specified in the Contract Documents.

6. SUBSTITUTION OF SECURITIES: Pursuant to section 22300 of the Public Contract Code of the State of California, CONTRACTOR may request CITY to make retention payments directly to an escrow agent or may substitute securities for any money withheld by CITY to ensure performance under the contract. At the request and expense of CONTRACTOR, securities equivalent to the amount withheld shall be deposited with CITY or with a state or federally chartered bank as the escrow agent who shall return such securities to CONTRACTOR upon satisfactory completion of the contract. Deposit of securities with an escrow agent shall be subject to a written agreement substantially in the form provided in section 22300 of the Public Contract Code.

7. PREVAILING WAGES AND CALIFORNIA LABOR LAWS.

Pursuant to Labor Code §§ 1720 et seq., and as specified in 8 California Code of Regulations § 16000 (“Prevailing Wage Laws”), CONTRACTOR must pay its workers prevailing wages. It is CONTRACTOR’s responsibility to interpret and implement any prevailing wage requirements, and CONTRACTOR agrees to pay any penalty or civil

3 damages resulting from a violation of the prevailing wage laws. CONTRACTOR shall defend, indemnify and hold the CITY, its officials, officers, employees and agents free and harmless from any claim or liability arising out of any failure or alleged failure to comply with the Prevailing Wage Laws. CONTRACTOR and any subcontractor shall forfeit a penalty of up to $200 per calendar day or portion thereof for each worker paid less than the prevailing wage rates.

In accordance with Labor Code § 1773.2, copies of the prevailing rate of per diem wages are available upon request from CITY’s Engineering Division or the website for State of California Prevailing wage determination at http://www.dir.ca.gov/DLSR/PWD.

CONTRACTOR must post a copy of the prevailing rate of per diem wages at the job site.

CITY directs CONTRACTOR’s attention to Labor Code §§ 1777.5, 1777.6 and 3098 concerning the employment of apprentices by CONTRACTOR or any subcontractor.

Labor Code § 1777.5 requires CONTRACTOR or subcontractor employing tradesmen in any apprenticeship occupation to apply to the joint apprenticeship committee nearest the site of the public works project and which administers the apprenticeship program in that trade for a certificate of approval. The certificate must also fix the ratio of apprentices to journeymen that will be used in the performance of the contract. The ratio of apprentices to journeymen in such cases will not be less than one to five except:

When employment in the area of coverage by the joint apprenticeship committee has exceeded an average of 15 percent in the 90 days before the request for certificate, or When the number of apprentices in training in the area exceeds a ratio of one to five, or When the trade can show that it is replacing at least 1/30 of its membership through apprenticeship training on an annual basis state-wide or locally, or Assignment of an apprentice to any work performed under a public works contract would create a condition that would jeopardize his or her life or the life, safety, or property of fellow employees or the public at large, or the specific task to which the apprentice is to be assigned is of a nature that training cannot be provided by a journeyman.

When CONTRACTOR provides evidence that CONTRACTOR employs registered apprentices on all of his contracts on an annual average of not less than one apprentice to eight journeymen.

CONTRACTOR is required to make contributions to funds established for the administration of apprenticeship programs if CONTRACTOR employs registered apprentices or journeymen in any apprenticeable trade on such contracts and if other contractors on the public works site are making such contributions.

CONTRACTOR and any subcontractor must comply with Labor Code §§ 1777.5 and 1777.6 in the employment of apprentices.
