Staff Report No. 25-CR-047
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council APPROVAL OF NEW 2025 SPECIAL EVENT, MINDTRAVEL LIVE-TO-HEADPHONES ‘SILENT’ PIANO CONCERT
CEQA: Approval of the new 2025 special event would be exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under State CEQA Guidelines section 15304(e). The event is a minor temporary use of land in the form of a ‘silent’ piano concert. This type of temporary event will have negligible or no permanent effect on the environment. (Special Events and Filming Coordinator Austin DeWeese) Recommended Action:

Staff recommends City Council conduct a public hearing to consider approval of the Parks, Recreation, and Community Resources Advisory Commission’s (Commission) recommendation to approve inclusion of Impact Level II new special event; MindTravel Live-to-Headphones ‘Silent’ Piano Concert south of the Pier on Tuesday, August 19, 2025 and Sunday, October 19, 2025, on the 2025 Special Event Calendar.

Executive Summary:

At its June 3, 2025 meeting, the Commission held a public hearing and recommended Council approve the inclusion of new special event, MindTravel Live-to-Headphones ‘Silent’ Piano Concert south of the Pier on Tuesday, August 19, 2025 and Sunday, October 19, 2025 on the 2025 Special Events Calendar.

Background:

The Special Events Policy Guide (Attachment 1) serves as a comprehensive document for event producers with information on the review and approval process, applicable fees, policies, and Hermosa Beach Municipal Code chapters and sections pertaining to special events. Special events are evaluated based on several factors and categorized as either Impact Level I, II, or III using the Impact Characteristics Matrix in the Special Events Policy Guide. The matrix considers event characteristics to determine the impact level such as the total estimated attendance; the event location; the day and season in which the event would take place; the total number of consecutive event days; and special requests such as reserved parking, amplified sound, etc. The event’s impact level determines the application submission deadline and the required level of review and approval which may involve City staff, Commission and/or City Council. New events or Impact Level III events, which are events with the largest impact to the City, require City Council approval. Impact

Discussion:

The MindTravel Foundation (foundation), established by composer and musician Murray Hidary, offers transformative music experiences, providing access to the healing power of music. The foundation requests approval to hold the MindTravel Live-to-Headphones ‘Silent’ Piano Concert south of the Pier on Tuesday, August 19, 2025 and Sunday, October 19, 2025. The event would include a live ‘silent’ piano concert, in which the sound from the piano transmits to wireless headphones worn by participants, a meditation session, and an audience-driven question-and-answer session. The foundation recommends a donation of $25 for ages 12 and under and a donation of $45-$55 for ages 13 and up (depending on the time of registration) to participate in the event. The foundation would also offer a “pay what you can” option, where participants may donate as little as $1 to participate. Each participant would be provided with a pair of wireless headphones to experience the live music transmitted from the piano.

Following the review of the event by the Commission at its June 3, 2025 meeting, the foundation has added an additional event component for participants who choose not to donate. Such participants may listen to pre-recorded music through headphones, receive a printed meditation script, and participate in the question-and-answer session.

The foundation anticipates approximately 360 participants. The requested event dates are included on the 2025 Special Events Calendar (Attachment 2). Additional event details are included in the MindTravel Live-to-Headphones ‘Silent’ Piano Concert Event Overview (Attachment 3).

Pursuant to the California Coastal Commission’s Guidelines for the Exclusion of Temporary Events from Coastal Commission Permit Requirements adopted on May 12, 1993, the Executive Director of the Coastal Commission shall only exclude from coastal development permit requirements all temporary events except those which meet all of the following criteria:
 Held between Memorial Day and Labor Day;

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 3 of 4
 Occupies all or a portion of a sandy beach area; and
 Involves a charge for general public admission or seating where no fee is currently charged for the same use of the area (not including booth or entry fees).

The proposed Impact Level II special event, MindTravel Live-to-Headphones ‘Silent’ Piano Concert, meets all of the aforementioned criteria. One of the requested event dates falls within the Memorial Day to Labor Day timeframe, the event would occupy a portion of a sandy beach, and it would charge general public admission by way of donation to participate in the main event element. If the event is approved, staff would require the event producer to work with the Coastal Commission to determine if a Temporary Event Permit from the Coastal Commission would be required.

Filming or Still Photo Permit
A Film/Still Photo Permit is required for any event recording or photographing activities resulting in commercial use. Information about professional filming permits may be obtained on the City’s website.

Emergency Action Plan
It is the event producer’s responsibility to have a comprehensive emergency action plan to the City that proposes the steps to be taken for crisis situations, such as event shut down due to severe weather, fire, active hostile attack, or for a missing person, medical emergency or threat of violence. Event producers are also responsible for providing an evacuation plan, including a script for the evacuation announcement and the means to how the evacuation plan and locations will be communicated to event attendees. The event producer’s proposed plan will be evaluated and formalized with the Emergency Management Coordinator in the City Manager’s office.

Event producers are required to obtain an Amplified Sound Permit if the event intends to use a loudspeaker or sound amplifying equipment for the purpose of giving instructions, directions, lectures, or transmitting music. The Chief of Police will consider the following in the issuance of Amplified Sound Permits:
• The volume and intensity of the noise;
• Whether the noise is prolonged and continuous;

Food, Beverage, or Merchandise Sales
In accordance with HBMC Section 12.20.300, the sale of food, non-alcoholic beverages, or branded merchandise from the event producer on the beach is allowed for events approved through the Special Events

Permit Program. The sale of these items from any vendor other than the event producer, or any other commodity, merchandise, wares, products, or service on the beach is not allowed. Event producers wishing to sell within these guidelines would be responsible for obtaining a business license from the City, and for obtaining any applicable food or beverage permits through the County of Los Angeles Department of Public Health.

Requests for alcohol on the beach will not be considered.

For events not on the beach, the sale of food, non-alcoholic beverages, alcoholic beverages, or merchandise may be considered through the Special Events Permit Program. The event producer would be responsible for ensuring any vendors associated with its event has a current business license with the City and for obtaining any applicable food or beverage permits through the County of Los Angeles Department of Public Health. If the sale of alcohol is approved through the Special Event Permit Program, the event producer must secure the appropriate license from the State of California Department of Alcohol Beverage Control (ABC). The City may place restrictions on the way in which alcohol is managed at a proposed event and/or a requirement of security officers and/or assigning City staff to monitor the cost of such services shall be borne by the event producer.

Security
City staff or law enforcement may deem a special event warrants the presence of one or more Police Officers or security personnel and the cost of such services shall be borne by the event producer. Security personnel must be licensed, in uniform and are subject to approval by the City.

Insurance
At least ten (10) days prior to the event, event producers will provide the City with a certificate of insurance providing liability insurance with the following requirements:

Event producer agrees to furnish the City of Hermosa Beach evidence of comprehensive general liability insurance in the form of a certificate naming "the City of Hermosa Beach, its officers, agents, volunteers, and employees as additional insureds." This exact verbiage is required. Event producer shall notify the City at least thirty (30) days prior to the termination, reduction, cancellation, suspension, modification, or expiration of the policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Event producer shall maintain insurance coverage meeting the standards outlined in this Section at all times during the term of the activity or activities for which the Event producer submitted its application, as reflected in and permitted by this Agreement. All certificates are subject to approval of the City’s Risk Manager.

Coverage shall be at least as broad as Insurance Services Form CG 00 01 covering commercial general liability on an "occurrence" basis, including property damage, bodily injury, death, and personal and advertising injury with limits no less than two million dollars ($2,000,000) per occurrence. If a general aggregate limit applies, either the general aggregate limit shall apply separately to this Agreement, or the general aggregate limit shall be twice the required occurrence limit. The City reserves the right to request greater or lesser amounts of insurance coverage.

If the use includes athletic activities, shall provide evidence of that the commercial general liability insurance includes coverage for injuries to athletic participants and participant accident insurance.

If the Event producer maintains broader coverage and/or higher limits than the minimums shown above, the City requires and shall be entitled to the broader coverage and/or the higher limits maintained. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the City.

Event Day Expectations
In order to immediately address any issues or changes that may arise during the course of an event, producers are responsible for:
• Providing contact information for an event representative that City staff may reach at any time during the event.
o The assigned event representative must be on-site and may not actively participate in the event.
• Maintaining copies of all applicable Special Event Permits and any other permits issued by the City onsite during the event.

Fee Waiver Grants
To support qualified organizations that have received approval to hold their event, the City provides event fee waiver grant opportunities to assist in its success by relieving the financial burden associated with the cost of the City’s event fees. Events and organizations that qualify for a long-term agreement or in contract are not bound to the terms of this policy. The annual award limit of fee waiver grants is approved by the City Council each fall for the upcoming calendar year. Grants will be awarded up to a maximum of $2,500 per event or a 50% reduction of indirect City event fees, whichever is the lesser amount. Fee waiver grants may only be used toward indirect costs charged by the City; direct costs are not eligible for and organizations are required to pay those in full. The minimum amount of a requested fee waiver grant must total at least $250.

Eligibility
In order to be eligible to apply for a fee waiver grant, the event must be a returning event to the City. Fee waiver grants will not be considered for new events or events taking place during the Peak Season (between Memorial Day and Labor Day). Following approval of an event, a completed Special Event Fee Waiver Grant Application is required to be submitted to the Community Resources Department at least 60 days prior to the event. The request will be reviewed by the Parks, Recreation, and Community Resources Advisory Commission at one of its regularly scheduled meetings for consideration of approval.

Bring the Fun
Hermosa Beach may be small, but it's packed with opportunities for connection, movement, and joy.

This Commission has a history of making it happen for 90254. We’ve got the fun and I want to be part of that.While we continue to promote and highlight our classic Surfer’s Walk of Fame, volleyball tournaments, movie nights and excursions, let’s expand our future possibilities: Olympics and World Cup are coming and the opportunities to have local events will be abundant.

Looking locally, it’s more important than ever to remind each other of what makes Hermosa special and FUN! It’s bikes and beaches, the concerts and theater; it's the community. We all need a reason to get out, get off our phones, and get together to enjoy what’s right here.

Contribute Meaningfully
I love the Parks (I've put to use all 10 throughout the years, plus the parkettes).

I love the Rec (Tennis and beach tennis are part of my weekly routine).

I love the Community Resources (my family has taken classes, my groups have rented spaces).

South Park: 4 moms, 8 years, meetings with just about every city department, commission, lawyer, corporation, natural and park designer and resident and we made it happen and I was proud to be part of it.Chamber of Commerce: 3 years of volunteering has given me invaluable exposure on business needs and wants.As an involved mom, neighbor, and long-time local, I believe I’m more informed than the average resident. I bring firsthand experience with a willingness to listen, collaborate, compromise and contribute.

The most important responsibility for me is cooperation: working with other governmental agencies, engaging with civic groups. And providing guidance for special events.

The mixing of government, business and residence is what makes Hermosa thrive—and the PRC is a great “advisor” for all.

Cooperation brings Participation
We have a highly engaged city council, motivated and creative residents with more young families than ever before. Encouraging interaction and participation of all our informal groups with the various city departments can improve our programming, policies and play. Getting more people involved means more buy in from residents and the city alike.

I have served on multiple committees as both a mom and as a resident. While running the HVPTO Halloween Carnival and raising over $200k for the school district, I implemented the now famous dunk tank splashing together council members, police and fire personal and a few teachers. "South Park Moms” hosted over 10 resident input meetings where we gathered and implemented feedback from the community for the benefit of the community. The “buy-in” to South Park was critical to its initial success which we also still have today.

LISTENING
Let’s up the public participation—I want to hear their passion projects.

What have I heard?
• Too much going on at the beach—how about “Spotlight Parks” for less impact at the beach and more geographic diversity.
• We love our events and classes.
-Could instructors have an open house for their classes to encourage more Hb residents to try something new?
-Mommy & Me classes needed
-Pop up Health & Wellness cooking class in collaboration with BCHD? • Streamline the permitting process for small events. As an example, Friends of the Parks Movie Nights to be at multiple parks throughout the city.

Plan Hermosa and 30 Ideas in the Economic Development Strategy is already a great start for what residents and businesses thought would help. I was highly involved in every meeting for the ideas in those documents. Residents had specific list of things they wanted done and this successful collaboration got the list through to Parks & Rec and to City Council.

EXPERIENCE with all the various city departments, councils and commissions.

Understanding compromise and the value of cooperation.

Through my diverse group affiliations (moms, sports, businesses) I’ve built a broad network of connections and gained appreciation for what makes Hermosa uniquely the 90254.

I am eager to learn more about policies and permitting for services and programs in Hermosa Beach, particularly how decisions affect facilities management, parks and recreation staff, the public, and other local departments. I also want to understand how external groups, such as the California Coastal Commission and neighboring communities, influence programming and events.

I’m passionate about creating spaces for kids to learn and engage. As an artist, I believe in providing children with opportunities to explore art. Having grown up with a parent who was an athletic director, I was involved in sports from a young age. Supporting and advocating for children in the community would be a priority for me in this role.

My older sister has profound developmental disabilities and keeping various groups of people in mind when approaching issues in spaces and events is always a priority for me. This perspective is something I bring into my roles, ensuring accessibility and inclusivity are integral to programming and public spaces.

My background in art and graphic design helps me promote programs, services, and fundraisers.

Since moving, I’ve actively sought out information on local events and noticed which ones were well-marketed and which were harder to find. I’d love to use my skills to support outreach efforts.

In Virginia, I worked events on large properties and participated in capital improvement discussions. I understand what visitors need and can identify areas for better access and efficiency. I’m particularly interested in annual budget development and capital improvement programs. Hermosa Beach has some of the best communication about scheduled and ongoing projects compared to anywhere I’ve lived, and I want to contribute to future improvements.

They are all important.

First, the obvious. In my advisory role to the Council, I come to the meetings prepared. Particularly when a new policy/event will be reviewed, I will go beyond what is sent in the staff report to obtain additional background so I can make a more fully informed and fair decision on an issue. I attend each meeting with an open mind welcoming the opportunity to respectfully engage with residents, businesses, event producers, non-profits, my fellow commissioners and staff.

To better serve community uses of our parks and public facilities, the Commission has been advocating for more communication between the Parks and Recreation Commission and the Public Works Commission and staff, in compliance with Brown Act, in areas of overlap. I think this is a critical part of planning. Our city has a tremendous amount of deferred maintenance. We are making progress. The Clark Building is about to reopen as an improved and beautiful venue. I served on the Clark subcommittee. This project benefitted from the joint planning and communication between Parks and Public Works Commission members, and both city departments.

An example of a current project that could have benefitted by more Parks Commission engagement is CIP 603 South Park Slope and Irrigation project.

Another duty I feel is important is balance. We have limited space and resources. We need to ensure we are making decisions that offer a variety of events and cultural experiences that are inclusive of all ages and interests.

Included in the mission of the Community Resources Department is a call out to “promote preservation and interpretation of historical, cultural resources, the natural environment and human resources.” Our city does not have an Arts and Culture Commission. I think we can do a better job in uplifting, promoting, and supporting arts and cultural resources in our city. Working on the renovation of the Clark Building was important. I also served on our subcommittee, with Commissioner Lange, on the Community Theatre assessment. We really should prioritize renovation of our theatre. You have expertise on the Parks and Recreation Commission that can work on furthering an arts/pubic arts master plan. Why wasn’t our Commission brought into the mix regarding the utility box arts project as a partner with Public Works? Which duties and responsibilities of the Board/Commission are important to you and why?

Do you have any current or past obligations or responsibilities, which could be construed as a conflict of interest with the position you are applying for? NO If yes, please explain below:

Please add your education, employment, memberships, past activities, or other experience you feel qualifies you to serve on the Board/Commission.

In my current employment position, I serve as the Consultant to the Joint Committee on the Arts for the CA State Legislature, working directly for Senator Ben Allen, who is the chair of this committee.

Senator Allen and I have been part of our state’s Creative Economy Workgroup, developing a statewide plan in support of the arts and creative industries/workforce.

He also chairs the Senate Special Committee on International Sporting Events: Olympics and World Cup Soccer. I am part of our staff working group for this committee. I have worked on prior Olympics and with the IOC. I’d like our Commission to work, at the direction of the City Council, in exploring ways we can engage with LA28. I recently met with the French Consul General for a debriefing on the Paris Games. As we’ve seen, as event venues are announced, there are ways to activate areas outside the host city can be engaged. This was done very successfully for the Paris Games.

I serve as Senator Allen’s surrogate to the Santa Monica Bay Restoration Commission and represent him at the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy Board meetings.

I have experience in event planning – from small to 10,000 person events, in advocating for educational arts programs (volunteered at Valley School, appointed to educational working groups, was a co-founder of Hermosa Beach Youth Music, a non–profit to bring music education back into Hermosa Beach schools), have been a consultant for and worked with other local non-profits (served on board of the Hermosa Beach Fine Arts Festival).

My experience aligns with the duties of this Commission.

Staff Report No. 25-PW-038
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council

AWARD OF PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENTS FOR ON-CALL STAFF

AUGMENTATION SERVICES TO TRANSTECH ENGINEERS AND Z&K

CONSULTANTS
(Public Works Director Joe SanClemente)
Recommended Action:

Staff recommends City Council:

1. Award a contract for on-call staff augmentation services to Transtech Engineers, Inc. at a not-to-exceed amount of $750,000 for a term of five years ending June 25, 2030, with an option to allow the City manager to extend up to one additional year (Attachment 6);

2. Award a contract for on-call staff augmentation services to Z&K Consultants at a not-to-exceed amount of $750,000 for a term of five years ending June 25, 2030, with an option to allow the City Manager to extend up to one additional year (Attachment 7); and

3. Authorize the Mayor to execute and the City Clerk to attest the proposed agreements subject to approval by the City Attorney.

Executive Summary:

The City of Hermosa Beach employs third specialist to assist with on-call staff augmentation services to support ongoing city operations and ensure the necessary personnel to meet project deadlines, maintain service quality, address increased workloads across projects, and avoid delays that could impact residents and city functions. Following a competitive Request for Qualifications (RFQ) process, staff recommends the City Council award the on-call staff augmentation services to Transtech Engineers, Inc., and Z&K Consultants, at a not-to-exceed amount of $750,000 for each, and a term of five years ending June 25, 2030. Staff also recommends City Council approval of an option to allow the City Manager to extend each Agreement up to one additional year.

Background:

The City’s Public Works Department relies on the assistance of third-party professional services to assist with the advancement of the City’s Capital Improvement Projects, deferred maintenance needs, engineering support services and related services, and other department needs without the expense of full-time employees. The City’s Public

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 9
Works Department is responsible for engineering and oversight of the City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP), maintenance of City facilities and parks, public counter services including plan check and permit issuance, managing and maintain the public right of way, grant management, storm drains and sewers, utility districts and utility coordination, and a wide variety of other programs and services that maintain and enhance infrastructure that supports the daily life of residents, businesses, and visitors.

The Department is also responsible for advancing requests by the community and City Council. However, there are several challenges that can impact the department’s ability to consistently meet the growing demands of the City. The Department has just 14 fulltime engineering and administrative positions dedicated to the oversight of a large array of critical programs and services covering a wide breadth of engineering and operational disciplines. A vacancy in any one of these positions can result in significant disruption in the delivery of these services.

The Department has several active construction projects and regularly oversees the construction of other third-party construction work in the public right-of-way that often requires additional support beyond full-time staffing. The Department is also called upon to expedite certain projects that may require supplemental project management resources, or advance unique, complex projects, or program improvements, that may require outside expertise. To augment finite staff resources, the City has a longstanding practice of hiring outside expertise through a variety on on-call contracts; however, many of these contracts are reaching expiration or spending authority and do not provide the flexibility required for the department to fulfil staff augmentation needs or other specialized services.

On-call staff augmentation services provide the Public Works Department with the flexibility, expertise, and resources necessary to respond to dynamic workloads, address specialized needs, and ensure seamless, continued delivery of essential services to the community. By leveraging these services, the department can adapt to fluctuating demands, address unexpected events, provide a higher level of service to city residents, and ensure continuous operations. All in all, the staff augmentation services will allow flexibility among staff to focus central efforts on the current capital improvement projects and will allow us to free up resources to complete the more urgent tasks requested by City Council.

The RFQ approach, which includes a formal competitive advertisement process, provides the City with a list of pre-qualified professional to serve on the “bench” for the coming five years without the need to go out for a separate request for proposals (RFP) each time a routine service is needed. For this solicitation staff is recommending contracts be awarded to the top two ranked firms. As work is identified, the City will solicit proposals from one, or more, of the selected on-call firms. The designated Consultant(s) shall then provide a cost proposal (per the agreed upon rates), fee, and a schedule per each task order issued by the City. A task order will then be negotiated and executed between the

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 3 of 9
City and the selected firm. Compensation will be based on a time and materials with a not-to-exceed limit agreed upon by both the Consultant and City before work begins. The selected consultant would serve as an extension of City staff and will provide a variety of as-needed staff augmentation services or other specialty support functions for the Department of Public Works. The RFQ approach improves efficiency and expedites commencement of work and project delivery.

Analysis:

On April 23, 2025, the City issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) 25-001 (Attachment 1) inviting experienced and highly qualified firms to submit a statement of qualification through a competitive process. The RFQ was on the City’s online bidding platform, Planet Bids. On Thursday, May 15, a total of eleven proposals were received in response to the RFQ. To address the broader expertise and experience needed to assist the Public Works Department with delivering its CIP, programs and services, and other needs as they arise, staff required each firm to assemble a team capable of performing, at a minimum, all elements of the scope of work as outlined in the RFQ, including, but not limited to general staff augmentation services, project and program management, engineering support services, and construction engineering and inspection services.

The proposing firms are listed below in alphabetical order:
 Absolute Information Technologies;
 CWE;
 Hotop Consulting;
 H.W. Lochner;
 Ladayu Consulting;
 Transtech;
 Veracity Solutions;
 Willdan Engineering;
 William W. Professional Staffing;
 Z&K Consultants; and
 Zivahh.

The proposals were independently evaluated in detail by a staff review panel and scored based on the following weighted criteria:
 Relevant Experience and Expertise (50 percent)
o Recent demonstrated experience providing similar staff augmentation services for other Public Works Departments.
o The depth and appropriateness of experience of individual members of the technical team as they relate to the scope of work.

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 4 of 9
o The consultant team’s ability to dedicate a strong contract manager, knowledge with the needs of a Public Works Department, that will serve as a single point of contact for the duration of the project.  Approach and Methods (25 percent)
o Demonstration of the team’s ability to be responsive to the City’s needs and provide a high level of customer service.
o Evidence of the team’s ability to work collaboratively with other members of a multi-disciplinary team in a complex and dynamic working environment. o Evidence of the team’s ability to successfully deliver project tasks and deliverables within the identified project budget and minimize cost overruns. o Demonstration of the team’s commitment to accurate and superior work products and services as detailed in the project management plan. o A well thought-out and tailored approach to as-needed work that responds to the City’s particular issues and needs.
o Incorporation of innovative and/or creative approaches for providing the services that will maximize efficient, cost-effective operations or increased performance abilities.
 Administration (25 percent)
o Billing rates and ability to comply with billing requirements o The extent and nature of any proposed amendments to the City’s Professional Services Agreement.

The evaluation sought out firms with experience in on-call staff augmentation services and with a proven, responsible, and responsive contract manager to ensure timely execution of all work and to assist with an urgently anticipated task order or unanticipated staffing need. Based on a comprehensive review, and following interviews with top ranked firms, staff recommends award of contracts for on-call staff augmentation services to the top two ranking firms, Transtech Engineers, Inc. (Attachments 2 and 3), and Z&K Consultants (Attachments 4 and 5). Transtech Engineers, Inc., and Z&K Consultants, requests were ranked the highest according to the weighted selection criteria versus the other proposals received. The proposer rankings are as follows:

Ranking Company
10 Absolute Information Technologies, Inc.
11 Veracity Solutions
Transtech Engineers, Inc., and Z&K Consultants exhibited the greatest understanding of the City’s needs and ability to provide on-call staff augmentation services while ensuring the highest quality. Transtech Engineers, Inc., has provided on-call services for the City since 2019 and has provided exceptional service. Z&K Consultants brings a strong background in engineering services, project and construction management, and on-call staff augmentation services, currently providing similar services for over fifty municipalities throughout Southern California. Staff contacted references provided in the respective proposals and received positive comments about each firm’s work.

If approved, on-call staff augmentation services would immediately begin with both firms.

Staff recognized the need to have two on-call staff augmentation teams for flexibility and ensure ability to fulfill urgent and specialize department needs. This approach improves timeliness and efficiency that meets the needs of the City and the community. The proposed contract for each firm includes a not-to-exceed amount of $750,000 and a term of five years ending June 10, 2030, with an options to allow the City Manager to extend up to one additional year. While the total not-to-exceed amount for the two contracts combined is substantive at $1,500,000, the contracts would be utilized on an as-needed basis over five to six years. On-call agreements do not guarantee any amount of work and offer the City flexibility.

General Plan Consistency:

PLAN Hermosa, the City’s General Plan, was adopted by the City Council in August 2017.

RFQ 25-001 City of Hermosa Beach

1 Introduction

1.1 Invitation for Qualifications
The City of Hermosa Beach (“City”) is seeking Statements of Qualifications (“SOQs”) from qualified individuals or firms (“Consultant”) to provide on-call staff augmentation services for the Public Works Department. The selected Consultants would assist the City’s Public Works Department with implementation of its capital improvement program, deferred maintenance program, engineering support services and related services, which the City can utilize on an as-needed basis to meet its current and long-term needs. Consultants must have the expertise, experience, and demonstrated resources available to perform the work described in this Request for Qualifications (“RFQ”).

The City intends to enter an agreement with two (2), or more, qualified consultants (or teams of consultants) for the requested services in an amount not to exceed up to $750,000 each for a period of five years. The City anticipates a contract start date around June 2025.

The City requesting SOQ’s and a separate hourly rate fee schedule to provide asneeded services. This RFQ does not require consultants to address any specific projects or task orders.

2. Scope of Services

2.1 City Location and Characteristics
The City of Hermosa Beach is located within the southwestern coastal portion of Los Angeles County in what is commonly referred to locally as the “South Bay” area. The City is bounded on the north by the City of Manhattan Beach, on the south by the City of Redondo Beach, on the east by the City of Redondo Beach and the City of Manhattan Beach, and on the west by the Pacific Ocean. The City limits for Hermosa Beach encompass a relatively small land area, approximately 1.4 square miles.

Hermosa Beach is thriving, and engaged community, with some 20,000 residents and naturally draws a high number of visitors to its beaches and downtown.

Governed by a five-member City Council with members elected at large, Hermosa Beach operates under the council/city manager form of government as a general law city. Like the community, the Council is informed, educated, and engaged. The programs and services provided by the City are accomplished through seven City departments: Administrative Services, City Clerk, City Manager, Community Development, Community Resources, Police, and Public Works.

2.2 Background
The Public Works Department is responsible for engineering and oversight of the City's Capital Improvement Program (CIP), maintenance of City facilities and parks, public counter services including plan check and permit issuance, managing and maintaining the public right of way, grant management, storm drains and sewers, utility districts and utility coordination, and a wide variety of other programs and services. The Department is also responsible for advancing requests by the community and City Council.

The Department has just 14 full-time engineering and administrative positions dedicated to the oversight of a large array of critical programs and services covering a wide breadth of engineering and operational disciplines. A vacancy in any one of these positions can result in significant disruption in the delivery of these services. The Department has a number of active construction projects and regularly oversees construction of other third party construction work in the public right of way that often requires additional support beyond full-time staffing. The Department is also called upon to expedite certain projects, that may require supplemental project management resources or advance unique, or complex, projects, or program improvements, that may require outside expertise.

The City is seeking Statements of Qualification from qualified consultants, or team of consultants (“Consultant”), to provide on-call staff augmentation services. Consultants must have the experience in providing similar types of services and demonstrate resources available to perform the work described in this RFQ.

Please note that being selected for an as-needed contract does not guarantee that a Consultant will be requested to submit a task order or be assigned any work. The City reserves the right to retain other consulting firms in its sole discretion when the City believes there will be an economic or other significant advantage for doing so.

RFQ 25-001 City of Hermosa Beach

TAXPAYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER. CONSULTANT will provide CITY with a Taxpayer Identification Number.

PERMITS AND LICENSES. CONSULTANT will obtain and maintain during the term of this Agreement all necessary permits, licenses, and certificates that may be required in connection with the performance of services under this Agreement.

TERMINATION. Except as otherwise provided, CITY may terminate this Agreement at any time with or without cause. Notice of termination shall be in writing.

CONSULTANT may terminate this Agreement. Notice will be in writing at least 30 days before the effective termination date.

In the event of such termination, the CONSULTANT shall cease services as of the date of termination, and all finished or unfinished documents, data, drawings, maps, and other materials prepared by CONSULTANT shall, at CITY’s option, become CITY’s property, and CONSULTANT will receive just and equitable compensation for any work satisfactorily completed up to the effective date of notice of termination.

Should the Agreement be terminated pursuant to this Section, CITY may procure on its own terms services similar to those terminated.

INDEMNIFICATION. To the extent permitted by law, CONSULTANT shall indemnify, and hold harmless CITY, its officers, officials, employees and volunteers from and against all liability, loss, damage, expense, cost (including without limitation reasonable attorneys fees, expert fees and all other costs and fees of litigation) of every nature to the extent caused by CONSULTANT's negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct in the performance of work hereunder or its failure to comply with any of its obligations contained in this AGREEMENT. CONSULTANT shall promptly pay any final judgment rendered against CITY (and its officers, officials, employees and volunteers) with respect to claims determined by a trier of fact to have been the result of the CONSULTANT’s negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct. CONSULTANT shall reimburse the CITY its costs of defense, including without limitation reasonable attorneys fees, expert fees and all other costs and fees of litigation to the extent such fees, costs and all other costs are determined by the court of competent jurisdiction to have been caused by the actual negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct of the Consultant.

The requirements as to the types and limits of insurance coverage to be maintained by CONSULTANT as required by Section 17, and any approval of said insurance by CITY, are not intended to and will not in any manner limit or qualify the liabilities and obligations otherwise assumed by CONSULTANT pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, to the provisions concerning indemnification.

RFQ 25-001 City of Hermosa Beach

ASSIGNABILITY. This Agreement is for CONSULTANT’s professional services.

CONSULTANT’s attempts to assign the benefits or burdens of this Agreement without CITY’s written approval are prohibited and will be null and void.

INDEPENDENT CONSULTANT. CITY and CONSULTANT agree that CONSULTANT will act as an independent contractor and will have control of all work and the manner in which is it performed. CONSULTANT will be free to contract for similar service to be performed for other employers while under contract with CITY. CONSULTANT is not an agent or employee of CITY and is not entitled to participate in any pension plan, insurance, bonus or similar benefits CITY provides for its employees. Any provision in this Agreement that may appear to give CITY the right to direct CONSULTANT as to the details of doing the work or to exercise a measure of control over the work means that CONSULTANT will follow the direction of the CITY as to end results of the work only.

AUDIT OF RECORDS. CONSULTANT agrees that CITY, or designee, has the right to review, obtain, and copy all records pertaining to the performance of this Agreement. CONSULTANT agrees to provide CITY, or designee, with any relevant information requested and will permit CITY, or designee, access to its premises, upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours for the purpose of interviewing employees and inspecting and copying such books, records, accounts, and other material that may be relevant to a matter under investigation for the purpose of determining compliance with this Agreement. CONSULTANT further agrees to maintain such records for a period of three (3) years following final payment under this Agreement.

CONSULTANT will keep all books, records, accounts and documents pertaining to this Agreement separate from other activities unrelated to this Agreement.

CORRECTIVE MEASURES. CONSULTANT will promptly implement any corrective measures required by CITY regarding the requirements and obligations of this Agreement. CONSULTANT will be given a reasonable amount of time as determined by the City to implement said corrective measures. Failure of CONSULTANT to implement required corrective measures shall result in immediate termination of this Agreement.

INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS.

A. The CONSULTANT, at the CONSULTANT’s own cost and expense, shall procure and maintain, for the duration of the contract, the following insurance policies:

1. Workers Compensation Insurance as required by law. The Consultant shall require all subcontractors similarly to provide such compensation insurance for their respective employees. Any notice of cancellation or non-renewal of all Workers’ Compensation policies must be received by the CITY at least thirty (30) days prior to such change. The insurer shall agree to waive all rights of subrogation against the CITY, its officers, agents, employees, and volunteers for losses arising from work performed by the CONSULTANT for City.

2. General Liability Coverage. The CONSULTANT shall maintain commercial general liability insurance in an amount of not less than two million dollars

RFQ 25-001 City of Hermosa Beach

($2,000,000) per occurrence for bodily injury, personal injury, and property damage. If a commercial general liability insurance form or other form with a general aggregate limit is used, either the general aggregate limit shall apply separately to the work to be performed under this Agreement or the general aggregate limit shall be at least twice the required occurrence limit.

3. Automobile Liability Coverage. The CONSULTANT shall maintain automobile liability insurance covering bodily injury and property damage for all activities of the CONSULTANT arising out of or in connection with the work to be performed under this Agreement, including coverage for owned, hired, and non-owned vehicles, in an amount of not less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) combined single limit for each occurrence.

4. Professional Liability Coverage. The CONSULTANT shall maintain professional errors and omissions liability insurance for protection against claims alleging negligent acts, errors, or omissions which may arise from the CONSULTANT’S operations under this Agreement, whether such operations be by the CONSULTANT or by its employees, subcontractors, or sub-consultants. The amount of this insurance shall not be less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) on a claims-made annual aggregate basis, or a combined single-limit-peroccurrence basis. When coverage is provided on a “claims made basis,” CONSULTANT will continue to renew the insurance for a period of three (3) years after this Agreement expires or is terminated. Such insurance will have the same coverage and limits as the policy that was in effect during the term of this Agreement, and will cover CONSULTANT for all claims made by CITY arising out of any errors or omissions of CONSULTANT, or its officers, employees or agents during the time this Agreement was in effect.

B. Endorsements. Each general liability, automobile liability and professional liability insurance policy shall be issued by a financially responsible insurance company or companies admitted and authorized to do business in the State of California, or which is approved in writing by City, and shall be endorsed as follows.

CONSULTANT also agrees to require all contractors, and subcontractors to do likewise.

1. “The CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers are to be covered as additional insureds with respect to liability arising out of work performed by or on behalf of the CONSULTANT, including materials, parts, or equipment furnished in connection with such work or operations.”

2. This policy shall be considered primary insurance as respects the CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers.

Any insurance maintained by the CITY, including any self-insured retention the CITY may have, shall be considered excess insurance only and shall not contribute with this policy.

3. This insurance shall act for each insured and additional insured as though a separate policy had been written for each, except with respect to the limits of liability of the insuring company.

RFQ 25-001 City of Hermosa Beach

4. The insurer waives all rights of subrogation against the CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, or agents.

5. Any failure to comply with reporting provisions of the policies shall not affect coverage provided to the City, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, agents, or volunteers.

6. The insurance provided by this policy shall not be suspended, voided, canceled, or reduced in coverage or in limits except after thirty (30) days written notice has been received by the CITY.

C. CONSULTANT agrees to provide immediate notice to CITY of any claim or loss against CONSULTANT arising out of the work performed under this agreement. CITY assumes no obligation or liability by such notice, but has the right (but not the duty) to monitor the handling of any such claim or claims if they are likely to involve CITY.

D. Any deductibles or self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by the CITY. At the CITY’s option, the CONSULTANT shall demonstrate financial capability for payment of such deductibles or self-insured retentions.

E. The CONSULTANT shall provide certificates of insurance with original endorsements to the CITY as evidence of the insurance coverage required herein. Certificates of such insurance shall be filed with the CITY on or before commencement of performance of this Agreement. Current certification of insurance shall be kept on file with the CITY at all times during the term of this Agreement.

F. Failure on the part of the CONSULTANT to procure or maintain required insurance shall constitute a material breach of contract under which the CITY may terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 11 above.

G. The commercial general and automobile liability policies required by this Agreement shall allow City, as additional insured, to satisfy the self-insured retention (“SIR”) and/or deductible of the policy in lieu of the Consultant (as the named insured) should Consultant fail to pay the SIR or deductible requirements.

The amount of the SIR or deductible shall be subject to the approval of the City Attorney and the Finance Director. Consultant understands and agrees that satisfaction of this requirement is an express condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement. Failure by Consultant as primary insured to pay its SIR or deductible constitutes a material breach of this Agreement. Should City pay the SIR or deductible on Consultant’s behalf upon the Consultant’s failure or refusal to do so in order to secure defense and indemnification as an additional insured under the policy, City may include such amounts as damages in any action against Consultant for breach of this Agreement in addition to any other damages incurred by City due to the breach.

USE OF OTHER CONSULTANTS. CONSULTANT must obtain CITY’s prior written approval to use any sub-consultants while performing any portion of this Agreement. Such approval must include approval of the proposed consultant and the terms of compensation.

FINAL PAYMENT ACCEPTANCE CONSTITUTES RELEASE. The acceptance by the CONSULTANT of the final payment made under this Agreement shall operate as and be a release of the CITY from all claims and liabilities for compensation to the CONSULTANT for anything done, furnished or relating to the CONSULTANT’S work or

RFQ 25-001 City of Hermosa Beach

services. Acceptance of payment shall be any negotiation of the CITY’S check or the failure to make a written extra compensation claim within ten (10) calendar days of the receipt of that check. However, approval or payment by the CITY shall not constitute, nor be deemed, a release of the responsibility and liability of the CONSULTANT, its employees, sub-consultants and agents for the accuracy and competency of the information provided and/or work performed; nor shall such approval or payment be deemed to be an assumption of such responsibility or liability by the CITY for any defect or error in the work prepared by the Consultant, its employees, sub-consultants and agents.

CORRECTIONS. In addition to the above indemnification obligations, the CONSULTANT shall correct, at its expense, all errors in the work which may be disclosed during the City’s review of the Consultant’s report or plans. Should the Consultant fail to make such correction in a reasonably timely manner, such correction shall be made by the CITY, and the cost thereof shall be charged to the CONSULTANT. In addition to all other available remedies, the City may deduct the cost of such correction from any retention amount held by the City or may withhold payment otherwise owed CONSULTANT under this Agreement up to the amount of the cost of correction.

NON-APPROPRIATION OF FUNDS. Payments to be made to CONSULTANT by CITY for services preformed within the current fiscal year are within the current fiscal budget and within an available, unexhausted fund. In the event that CITY does not appropriate sufficient funds for payment of CONSULTANT’S services beyond the current fiscal year, the Agreement shall cover payment for CONSULTANT’S services only to the conclusion of the last fiscal year in which CITY appropriates sufficient funds and shall automatically terminate at the conclusion of such fiscal year.
