Background and Analysis:
On or about June 28, 2001, in Fiscal Year 2001-2002, the City Council of the City of Irwindale ("City Council") adopted the Sewer Maintenance District (Irwindale Business Center) and established a sewer maintenance charge for the Sewer Maintenance District for the manner of levying such charge and maximum amounts to be charged for the fiscal year pursuant to the Improvement Act of 1911 (Streets & Highways Code § 5000 et seq.) (“Act”);
Furthermore, in Fiscal Year 2001-2002, the City of Irwindale (“City”) formed the Street Lighting Maintenance District (Irwindale Business Center) Resolution Number 2001-42-1762, to generate revenue and finance the cost of providing maintenance for the existing public street lighting system within the Irwindale Business Center. The Irwindale Business Center is a 116-acre private industrial development and the improvements to be maintained within the Street Lighting Maintenance District are appurtenant thereto within and benefiting all assessable parcels of land within the Street Lighting Maintenance District.
In order to maintain the Sewer Assessment District and the Street Lighting Assessment District, both located within the Irwindale Business Center, (each, “Assessment District” and collectively, “Assessment Districts”) and to establish the charge rate for the Fiscal Year 2025–2026 assessments, the City retained a professional engineering consulting firm for the preparation of the Engineer's Report for each Assessment District. The Engineer's Report for the Irwindale Business Center Sanitation and Sewage System is prepared in accordance with the methodology stated in Section 5473 of the Health and Safety Code. The Engineer's Report for the Irwindale Business Center Street Lighting Maintenance District is prepared in accordance with the methodology stated in Article 4, Chapter 1, Part 2, Division 15 of the Streets and Highways Code, beginning with section 22565 et seq.
1. The proposed assessments will defray the City’s costs in the administration of the Assessments Districts. The property owner will have an opportunity to address the City Council concerning the assessment district during the public hearing. Following the completion of the public hearing, the City Council will vote on the property assessments for the street lighting and sewer
maintenance charges for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 and instruct the County Assessor’s office for the collection of tax bills.
2. Copies of the two approved Engineer’s Reports are included with the Resolution for each Assessment District.
a. The Sewer Maintenance District anticipated assessment levy is $1,608.62 per Benefit Unit for Fiscal Year 2025-2026, which is based on the estimated cost of operations, maintenance, and future lift station replacement for that year.
b. The Street Lighting Maintenance District assessment to be levied is based upon each parcel within the boundaries of the District and the assessment was based solely on the benefit received from the streetlight maintenance. The Assessment per Benefit Unit is $155.33.
3. The Public Hearings for the Irwindale Business Center Sewer Maintenance District and Irwindale Business Center Street Lighting Maintenance District have been duly noticed in accordance with applicable laws. Following the completion of the respective Public Hearing, it is recommended that the City Council adopt the corresponding resolutions.
Fiscal Impact:
All costs for the maintenance and administration of the two Assessment Districts are budgeted and accounted for in the City’s Irwindale Business Center Assessment District Funds 44 and 45. There is no impact to General Fund expenditures, and there is nominal revenue reimbursed to the General Fund as administrative overhead for staff time allocated to the two assessment districts.

Sewer Maintenance District (Irwindale Business Center)
I. Introduction
To establish a revenue source based on benefit to property for funding the maintenance of public sewer facilities in the 116-acre private development, Irwindale Business Center, the City Council directed the City Engineer to facilitate the formation of the Sewer Maintenance District (Irwindale Business Center) (the “District”) under the Health and Safety Code (“H&SC”), Sections 5470 et. seq., entitled "Sanitation and Sewerage Systems" which provides a method for collecting funds for the maintenance of sewer facilities on the property tax bills. The funding supported the maintenance of a sewer system and a lift station and the future replacement of the lift station (estimated for the year 2026) in the area known as the Irwindale Business Center.
In Fiscal Year 2001/2002, the City Council of the City of Irwindale (the “City”) established the Sewer Maintenance District (Irwindale Business Center). The noticing and balloting requirements and other applicable provisions of Article XIIID of the California State Constitution were followed with respect to the formation of the Sewer Charge. It was determined that the sewer maintenance charge was a property-related charge and should be levied upon each parcel within the boundaries of the Irwindale Business Center. A maximum charge rate of $829.38 per benefit unit (“BU”) was established for Fiscal Year 2001/2002.
The rate imposed each year will be based on the estimated cost of operations, maintenance, and future lift station replacement for that year. For any year in which all other rates imposed under the Sewer Charge are adjusted by the change in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”), the maximum rate will also be adjusted by the CPI.
Section 5473 of the H&SC requires this Engineer's Report (“Report”) to be prepared and filed with the City Clerk each year for the purpose of establishing the charge rate. The charge rate for Fiscal Year 2025/2026 is presented herein in accordance with the methodology as set forth below.
Following approval of this Report, the City Council will hold a public hearing to provide an opportunity for any interested person to be heard. At the conclusion of the public hearing, the City Council may adopt a resolution confirming the levy of the charge as proposed or as modified.
II. Description of the Improvements
The City's existing sewer system facilities in the Irwindale Business Center include approximately 7,500 L.F. of 8" to 12" VCP gravity public sewer main and a sewer lift station, (3'-6" X 14", 1400 GPM, 75 HP dry well pumps and a 12,000 gallon wet well) built to capacity for the project.

III.Estimate of Cost
The cost of operation, maintenance, servicing of the improvements and the replacement of the lift station for Fiscal Year 2025/2026, as described above, are summarized herein and described as below.
SEWER MAINTENANCE COST ESTIMATE FOR FISCAL YEAR 2025/2026 Beginning Fund Balances (07/01/2025)
Lift Station Replacement Fund Balance $338,474
Total Beginning Fund Balances $338,474
Budget Items
Annual Maintenance Cost (Sewer) $14,110
Annual Maintenance Cost (Lift Station) 10,000
City Administration 23,380
District Administration 2,269
Public Notice Publication 620
Legal Fees 170
LA County Assessor’s – Admin Fee 56
Maintenance & Administration Costs $50,605
Replace Lift Station / Bypass System(1) $127,272
Balance to Levy (2) $177,876
Total BU 110.58
Levy per BU FY 2025/2026 $1,608.62
Max Rate per BU FY 2025/2026 $1,608.6230
Estimated Ending Fund Balances (06/30/2026)
Lift Station Replacement Fund Balance (1) $465,745
Total Ending Fund Balances $465,745
(1) Annual cost for the replacement of the lift station at the end of its useful life estimated to occur in the year 2016. This cost was estimated to be $750,000 in 2000. Due to increased equipment, material, and labor costs in 2007 the Los Angeles County Maintenance Division recommended a 30% increase to this estimate to a cost of replacement of $975,000. In addition, in 2014 the Los Angeles County Maintenance Division recommended construction of a bypass system to allow for continuous operation while routine maintenance continues to be performed on the gravity sewer main. Furthermore, the replacement of the station sewer piping shall use stainless steel pipes instead of ductile iron pipes. This increased the cost from $975,000 to $1,325,000.
The replacement of the gravity sewer main was scheduled to begin in Fiscal Year 2014/2015 and was estimated to be completed in 2-3 years. As such, the total amount to collect became $1,325,000 - $825,000 (Collected through Fiscal Year 2013/2014) = $500,000 over the next 6 years starting Fiscal Year 2014/2015. Annual charge starting Fiscal Year 2014/2015 = $500,000/6 years = $83,333.33 per year. However, the City unexpectedly did emergency repair and replacement in Fiscal Year 2014/2015, as explained below, which depleted the funds. The City will continue to collect toward the Lift Station replacement to the maximum capacity allowed in order to replenish the fund.
(2) The net amount to be assessed upon assessable lands within the District being the total operating, maintaining, and servicing costs. Actual levy to the Los Angeles County will vary due to rounding.

IV. Method of Apportionment and Rate Calculator
The land use for all of the parcels within the boundaries of the Sewer Maintenance District area as the area fully develops will be industrial. It has been determined that the sewer maintenance charge is a property related charge, and that a charge based on parcel acreage is a reasonable method for apportioning the maintenance costs. The special benefit will be expressed as a Benefit Unit (“BU”). For every parcel one benefit unit (1.00 BU) will be assigned per acre.
• Developed and undeveloped parcels will be assessed one (1) benefit unit per acre. • Exempt from the assessment would be the areas of public streets, public easements and rights-of-ways. Also exempt from assessment would be utility rights-of-way, common areas, and sliver parcels not developable, as these parcels do not benefit from the improvements.
The sewer lift station located on parcel 8417-036-900, the storm water detention basin on parcel 8417-027-094 which later became parcel 8417-027-908 and the utility easement to Valley County Water District on parcel 8417-035-900 do not benefit from the sewer system, and are exempt from the maintenance charge.
Southern California Edison has purchased parcel 8417-036-002 which became 8417- 036-800. This parcel is not exempt from the Sewer Maintenance District and is assessed as parcel 9014-800-001 (State Board of Equalization assigned parcel number or "SBE”).
The Fiscal Year 2025/2026 Sewer Maintenance District rate is calculated as follows:
The Maximum Allowable Assessment rate for Fiscal Year 2025/2026 is $1,608.6230. The rate is calculated by adjusting the maximum rate established for Fiscal Year 2001/02 of $829.38 per BU by the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) for All Items, All Urban Consumers for the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, Area for the prior year (CPI April 2024 = 332.572, CPI April 2025 = 342.565, increase of 93.978% cumulatively).
Sewer Maintenance Total Costs: $177,876
Sewer Maintenance District Rate Fiscal Year 2025/2026:
$177,876.38 ÷ 110.58 Total BU = $1,608.62/BU
Maximum Sewer Maintenance District Rate: $1,608.6230/BU This maximum rate reflects the April 2024 to April 2025 CPI increase of 3.00% over last year’s maximum rate of $1,561.6977.

Street Lighting Maintenance District (Irwindale Business Center) V. Method of Apportionment of Assessment
A) General
Part 2 of Division 15 of the Streets and Highways Code, the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, permits the establishment of assessment districts by cities for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which include operation, maintenance, rehabilitation, and servicing of street lights.
The 1972 Act requires that maintenance assessments be levied according to benefit rather than according to assessed value. Section 22573 provides that:
“The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.” In addition, Article XIIID requires that a parcel's assessment may not exceed the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel. Article XIIID provides that only special benefits are assessable and the City must separate the general benefits from the special benefits.
B) Proposition 218 Benefit Analysis
In conjunction with the provisions of the 1972 Act, Article XIIID addresses several key criteria for the levy of assessments, notably:
Article XIIID Section 2(d) defines District as follows:
“District means an area determined by an agency to contain all parcels which will receive a special benefit from a proposed public improvement or property-related service”;
Article XIIID Section 2(i) defines Special benefit as follows:
“Special benefit” means a particular and distinct benefit over and above general benefits conferred on real property located in the district or to the public at large.
General enhancement of property value does not constitute “special benefit.” Article XIIID Section 4(a) defines proportional special benefit assessments as follows:
“An agency which proposes to levy an assessment shall identify all parcels which will have a special benefit conferred upon them and upon which an assessment will be imposed. The proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel shall be determined in relationship to the entirety of the capital cost of a public improvement, the maintenance and operation expenses of a public improvement, or the cost of the property related service being provided. No assessment shall be
2025/2026 City of Irwindale Page 6
Street Lighting Maintenance District (Irwindale Business Center) imposed on any parcel which exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel.”
This District was formed to establish and provide for the improvements that enhance the presentation of the surrounding properties and developments. These improvements will directly benefit the parcels to be assessed within the District.
The assessments and method of apportionment is based on the premise that the assessments will be used to construct and install landscape and lighting improvements within the existing District as well as provide for the annual maintenance of those improvements, and the assessment revenues generated by District will be used solely for such purposes.
The costs of the proposed improvements have been identified and allocated to properties within the District based on special benefit. The improvements to be provided by this District and for which properties will be assessed have been identified as an essential component and local amenity that provides a direct reflection and extension of the properties within the District which the property owners and residents have expressed a high level of support.
The method of apportionment (method of assessment) set forth in the Report is based on the premise that each assessed property receives special benefits from the landscape and lighting improvements within the District, and the assessment obligation for each parcel reflects that parcel’s proportional special benefits as compared to other properties that receive special benefits.
To identify and determine the proportional special benefit to each parcel within the District, it is necessary to consider the entire scope of the improvements provided as well as the properties that benefit from those improvements. The improvements and the associated costs described in this Report, have been carefully reviewed and have been identified and allocated based on a benefit rationale and calculations that proportionally allocate the net cost of only those improvements determined to be of special benefit to properties within the District. The various public improvements and the associated costs have been identified as either “general benefit” (not assessed) or “special benefit”.

Street Lighting Maintenance District (Irwindale Business Center) C) Apportionment by Parcel Size
Acreage has been selected as the principal unit for calculating the special benefit conferred upon the parcels by the street lighting improvements and for apportioning the total assessment. The special benefit will be expressed as Benefit Unit (BU). Every parcel will be assigned one benefit unit (1.0 BU) per acre. • All developed and undeveloped parcels. All parcels will be assessed one (1) benefit unit per acre.
• Exempt. Exempt from the assessment would be the areas of public streets, public easements and rights-of-ways. Also exempt from assessment would be utility rights-of-way, common areas, and sliver parcels not developable, as these parcels do not benefit from the improvements. The storm water detention basin on parcel 8417-027-094, which became 8417-027-908 and the utility easement to Valley County Water District on parcel 8417-035-900 do not benefit from the lighting system and are exempt from the lighting assessment.
Southern California Edison has purchased parcel 8417-036-002, which became 8417-036-800. This parcel is not exempt from the lighting assessment and is assessed as State Board of Equalization (“SBE”) parcel 9014-800-001.
The sewer lift station located on parcel 8417-036-900 benefits: therefore, it is not exempt and is included in the lighting assessment.
A summary of Benefit Unit (BU) rates is shown in the table below:
Land-Use Category Basic Unit BU Factor BU Rates
Exempt 0 acres X 0.0 = 0.0 BU/Acre
All other 1 acres X 1.0 = 1.0 BU/Acre
D) Special Benefit Determination
Street Lighting: Proper maintenance and operation of the street lighting system benefits all properties by enhancing overall safety, mitigating crime, alleviating the fear of crime, and promoting business and industry.
Street lighting provides special and direct benefit to all properties within the District as these lighting benefits are directly related to the positive enhancement of the area and therefore increase property desirability.

Street Lighting Maintenance District (Irwindale Business Center) E) Assessment Rate Calculation
The Maximum Allowable Assessment rate for Fiscal Year 2025/2026 is $188.6987.
This rate is calculated by adjusting the maximum rate established for Fiscal Year 2001/2002 of $97.2900 per Benefit Unit by the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) for All Items, All Urban Consumers for the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim Area.
The maximum rate reflects the April 2024 to April 2025 CPI increase of 3.00% over the maximum rate of $183.1942 for Fiscal Year 2024/2025.
As shown in the budget in section IV, the assessment rate for Fiscal Year 2025/2026 is $155.33 per BU.
Each year, as the City maintains the existing street lighting improvements, the rate per BU will be calculated according to the current year's operations and maintenance budget.

It is recommended that the City Council and Housing Authority Board convene concurrently to conduct the duly noticed public hearing and adopt Ordinance No. 798 entitled: “AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF IRWINDALE ADOPTING THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2025-2026,” reading by title only and waiving further reading thereof.
Administrative Action:
Submitted / Prepared by:
Kambiz Borhani, Finance Director / City Treasurer
Reviewed by:
Adrian R. Guerra, City Attorney / General Counsel
Approved by:
Julian A. Miranda, City Manager / Executive Director
Background and Analysis:
On Wednesday, June 11, 2025, the City Council and Housing Authority Board held a duly noticed Public Hearing to conduct the First Reading of Ordinance No. 798 for adoption of the FY 2025-2026 Budget.
The City Council was provided with a verbal report on the FY 2025-2026 Revenue and Expenditure Budgets proposed for adoption. This report included a summary of the Budget Workshop session held on May 8, 2025, during which the City Council reviewed and approved several new budget requests related to personnel, operating and capital project budgets.
Upon the conclusion of the verbal report, the City Council opened the Public Hearing to allow for comments regarding the FY 2025-2026 Budget from both the public and councilmembers.
FY 2025-2026 Budget Summaries
Ordinance No. 798 includes Exhibit A, which lists the final revenue and expenditure budgets for all funds of the City and its agencies to be adopted for FY 2025-2026. These totals include all changes discussed and approved by the City Council during the Budget Workshop session.
The tables below list the final FY 2025-2026 Budget Summaries for the City’s two primary funds, the General Fund and Mining Impact Fund:
Irwindale Municipal Code (IMC) Section 901 requires the City Council to hold a public hearing on the adoption of the budget. Notice of this public hearing, which is set for June 25, 2025, at 6:00 pm, to conduct a second reading and adopt the FY 2025-2026 budget, was published in the local newspaper as well as a copy being posted at Irwindale: City Hall, Library, Post Office, and Social Media platforms on June 12th, 2025; as appropriate to give complete and adequate notice thereof, to residents of the City.
Fiscal Impact:
Adoption of Ordinance No. 798 will approve the FY 2025–2026 Budgets listed in Exhibit A for all City
funds, the Housing Authority and Reclamation Authority. Note, the Boards of the Housing Authority and Reclamation Authority have separately adopted the FY 2025–2026 budgets by resolutions at their respective meetings on June 11, 2025.
The Budget Summary for the General Fund shows a projected surplus of $285,581 for its Operating Budget and One-Time Items. However, the Capital Projects Transfers of $200,000 will reduce the overall surplus to $85,581.
The General Fund Reserve balance is currently projected to be $56.2 million at the end of FY 2024- 2025. Adoption of the proposed FY 2025-2026 Budget will increase the fund balance by a $85,581 surplus, resulting in a projected General Fund Reserve balance of $56.3 million as of June 30, 2026.

RECREATIONAL
VEHICLE PARKING
ON CITY STREETS
CITY MANAGER City Manager Miranda presented the staff report.
MIRANDA
COUNCILMEMBER Councilmember Ambriz asked whether staff has been able to seek AMBRIZ vacant properties where RV’s could be stored. He noted that RV’s parked on the street have created safety issues since they block motorists’ line of sight.
CITY MANAGER City Manager Miranda noted that several vacant sites have been MIRANDA identified, though purchasing a site would be quite costly. Staff could continue analyzing the request.
COUNCILMEMBER Councilmember Ambriz recommended that staff continue to seek AMBRIZ properties to site an RV parking lot.
COUNCILMEMBER Responding to a question by Councilmember Ortiz, City Manager ORTIZ Miranda indicated that he has not received any inquiries or requests for the creation of an RV parking lot since his tenure as a Councilmember. He then requested that Captain Fraijo speak about a potential RV permit process, to which Captain Fraijo stated that adopting an ordinance would allow enforcement action and that permits are usually offered in cities that prohibit overnight RV parking.
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES APRIL 9, 2025
REGULAR MEETING PAGE 6
MAYOR BURROLA In response to a question by Mayor Burrola, Captain Fraijo stated that he was not aware of any statutes that govern RV parking on public roads, with the exception of the distance from the curb / sidewalk that each vehicle may park.
Mayor Burrola also asked what a police report might show if a motorist struck a pedestrian that they did not notice due an RV impairing line of sight, to which Captain Fraijo stated that, although each case is different, the RV may be mentioned as a contributing factor due to presenting a visual obstruction but would unlikely be the primary collision factor.
COUNCILMEMBER Councilmember Breceda asked about the number of homeless BRECEDA individuals residing in RV’s in the City, to which Captain Fraijo explained why it is difficult to quantify.
COUNCILMEMBER Councilmember Garcia agreed that the Council should act on the GARCIA concern and suggested perhaps having RV owners register their vehicles. He also expressed concern about purchasing a property and converting it to a parking lot for RV’s since the action may appear to be a gift of public funds.
COUNCILMEMBER Councilmember Ambriz asked about issuing permits for RV’s and AMBRIZ enforcing parking restrictions, to which City Attorney Guerra stated that staff could conduct further research into the matter.
Councilmember Ambriz reiterated his concern that RV’s parked along the street create visibility impairment issues and encouraged further staff research to mitigate the problem.
MAYOR PRO TEM Mayor Pro Tem Ortiz suggested adopting an ordinance that would ORTIZ also prohibit parking over 72 hours on public streets.
MAYOR BURROLA Mayor Burrola asked noted that block walls are not allowed over a certain height near the front of a house to avoid obstructing motorists’ vision and asked whether a similar law relating to RV’s exists. He also asked several questions relating to the potential development of an RV parking lot, such as whether the site would be purchased with General Fund money, would security cameras and rolling gates be installed, would RV owners be required to sign waivers to indemnify the City, and whether a majority of residents would be in favor of developing said parking lot.
CITY MANAGER City Manager Miranda stated that the City would have to charge users MIRANDA of the parking lot in order to avoid the appearance of a gift of public funds. He also advised that a parking lot would also need certain infrastructure in place, including cameras, gates, and security, all of which would include certain costs, and stated that staff could conduct further research and present options to the Council.

DENA ZEPEDA Dena Zepeda stated that RV parking on neighborhood streets have caused visibility issues since they block motorists’ view.
MARICELA FRYMARK Maricela Frymark concurred that the issues have been ongoing for years and encouraged the Council to find a solution quickly. She added that non-residents park their RV’s on Irwindale streets since the City does not have an ordinance or regulation prohibiting this practice.
ROBERT ESCOVEDO Robert Escovedo stated that the City should not purchase land to develop into an RV parking lot and stated that RV owners would generally be able to afford to pay to park them off City streets.
PAT GONZALES Pat Gonzales stated that the City where she used to work passed an ordinance prohibiting parking between 2 am and 4 am, which solved their RV parking issue. She agreed that allowing RV’s to park on City streets is dangerous especially when individuals run extension cords from their houses to the RV or when they dispose of waste on the street.
MOTION A motion was made by Councilmember Ambriz, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Ortiz, to direct staff to conduct further research and present the results at the May 14 Council meeting. The motion was unanimously approved.
PUBLIC HEARINGS None.

Background and Analysis:
Article VIII, Section 803 of the City Charter authorizes the City Council to establish, by resolution, a classification plan, salaries, and other forms of compensation for all City employees. Section 2.12.010 of the Irwindale Municipal Code requires that the offices and positions in City employment be fixed and established by resolution of the City Council.
Classification Resolution No. 2025-53-3641
As part of the adoption of Ordinance No. 798, which approved the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Budget, the City Council authorized various personnel changes, including the funding of several new job classifications.
These new classifications include:
• Aquatics Assistant
• Plan Check Engineer
• Supervising Librarian
To formalize these changes, staff recommends adoption of Resolution No. 2025-53-3641, which approves the new job classifications and associated job specifications.

All full-time employees will contribute additional amounts toward their CalPERS retirement benefits through cost sharing of the employer’s contribution. The salary schedule also provides a four percent (4%) COLA for all part-time employees.
In addition, proposed Resolution No. 2025-54-3642 reflects the following personnel adjustments approved through the adoption of the FY 2025-26 Budget:

The severance payment shall not include the monetary value of any benefits, but salary only.
B. Resignation
Should an Affected Employee resign or otherwise initiate termination of his or her employment with the City, then the City shall have no obligation to pay the severance provided for above.

The City may terminate a non-sworn Affected Employee for cause at any time by providing non-sworn Affected Employee with five (5) business days’ written notice of termination for cause and the facts and grounds constituting such cause.

The City Manager or someone acting in the capacity as City Manager may terminate a sworn Affected Employee at any time with or without cause, by providing written notice of the reason(s) and an opportunity for administrative appeal, as provided herein, in accordance with the requirements of the POBRA, including but not limited to Government Code section 3304(c), which states that the City is required to provide written notice of termination and the reason or reasons therefore and an opportunity for administrative appeal. The City Manager’s right to terminate a sworn Affected Employee as provided herein shall not be subject to or in any way limited by the City’s Personnel Rules or past City practices related to the employment, discipline or termination of the City’s employees. Except as expressly provided in this Section
12.02, a sworn Affected Employee shall not have any rights provided for the Chief of Police or sworn personnel under the City’s Personnel Rules, Municipal Code, or under other state or federal law to any other form of pre- or post-termination hearing, appeal, or other administrative process pertaining to termination. Nothing herein, however, shall be construed to create a property interest, where one does not exist by rule of law, in the position of Chief of Police. Notwithstanding this Section 12.02, sworn Affected Employees shall remain as at-will employees serving at the pleasure of the City Manager
A. Termination Without Cause
By providing a sworn Affected Employee at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice thereof, the City may terminate a sworn Affected Employee without cause but rather based upon management reasons such as implementing the City’s goals or policies, including but not limited to: (i) change of administration, or (ii) incompatibility of management styles.
In the event a sworn Affected Employee is terminated without cause and does not challenge such termination, including but not limited to by means of appeal or civil or administrative claim, then the City shall pay severance in an amount equal to the monthly base salary of the employee then in effect (excluding the value of any other benefits) multiplied by six (6). The severance payment shall not include the monetary value of any benefits, but salary only. Prior to such termination, in order to be eligible for severance as provided in this Section, a sworn Affected Employee must have worked for the City a minimum of six (6) months.
In order to comply with the requirements of California Government Code section 3304(c), termination by the City Manager for a reason other than cause shall be conducted in accordance with the following procedures:
1. The City reserves the right to place Employee on paid administrative leave for all or a portion of the thirty (30) day notice period provided under this Section 12.02.A.
2. Employee may request to appear before the City Council prior to the effective date of the termination to challenge the reasons for the termination or to raise mitigating circumstances regarding the termination but in such event would waive any right to severance pay as provided in this Section 12.02.A.
B. Resignation
Should a sworn Affected Employee resign or otherwise initiate termination of his or her employment with the City, then the City shall have no obligation to pay the severance provided for above.
C. Termination for Cause
The City may terminate a sworn Affected Employee for cause at any time by providing the employee with five (5) business days’ written notice of the termination for cause and the facts and grounds constituting such cause. The term “cause” shall be defined the same as in Section 12.01(B) above. For any of the conduct described in this Section constituting cause for termination, the City may, in its discretion, place Employee on paid or unpaid administrative leave until resolution. If the City terminates a sworn Affected Employee for cause, the City shall have no obligation to pay severance. In order to comply with the requirements of California Government Code section 3304(c), a termination by the City Manager of a sworn Affected Employee for cause shall be conducted in accordance with the following procedures:
1. Within five (5) days of receipt of written notice under this Section, a sworn Affected Employee may submit a request in writing to the City Manager for an administrative appeal. Such appeal shall not prohibit or otherwise delay the
termination of a sworn Affected Employee prior to the administrative appeal.
Failure to timely file such a request shall be deemed to be a waiver of the right to do so.
2. Upon a sworn Affected Employee’s written appeal request, the City Manager shall appoint an independent hearing officer to conduct an administrative hearing and issue an advisory decision which shall then be reviewed and considered and either adopted, modified or rejected by City Council. Both the sworn Affected Employee and the City and their respective representatives, if any, shall make reasonable efforts to set an administrative appeal hearing date within thirty (30) days from the City Manager’s receipt of the written appeal request. Pursuant to Government Code section 3304(c) and for purposes of this subdivision, the removal of a sworn Affected Employee for the purpose of implementing the goals or policies, or both, of the City, for reasons including, but not limited to, incompatibility of management styles or as a result of a change in administration, shall be sufficient to constitute "reason or reasons" for the sworn Affected Employee’s termination in addition to those reasons constitution cause for termination.
3. At the administrative appeal hearing, the independent hearing officer shall be presented with both the information and documents on which the City based its decision to terminate as well as any information and documents on which the City based its decision to terminate for cause as well as any information and documentation that the sworn Affected Employee chooses to submit to challenge the City’s information and documents to raise mitigating circumstances for consideration by the independent hearing officer.
4. Within thirty (30) days of completing the hearing, the independent hearing officer shall issue an advisory decision in writing to the City Council determining whether the sworn Affected Employee was properly terminated and whether there was sufficient “cause” to justify not paying severance under the terms of this Resolution unless severance was already tendered. Following City Council’s review and consideration of the advisory decision, the sworn Affected Employee shall be notified in writing as to whether the advisory decision will be upheld, modified or rescinded.
SECTION 13.03 LIMITATION ON SEVERANCE (GOVERNMENT CODE §53260) This Resolution does not create a defined term of employment for any Affected Employee, but in the event this resolution is construed by a court of law to have a fixed term, should such proposed severance payment exceed the amount authorized to be paid under Government Code Section 53260, then the amount paid to an Affected Employee shall be reduced in the amount necessary to comply with such statute. (Government Code section 53260 provides that all contracts of employment with a city must include a provision limiting the maximum cash settlement for the termination of the contract to the monthly salary (excluding benefits) multiplied by the number of months left on the unexpired term, but not more than 18 months if the unexpired term exceeds 18 months. For example, if termination occurs with two (2) months left in the term, severance would be equal to the monthly base salary multiplied by two (2) rather than the six (6) months provided in Section 5.1(b).)

Background and Analysis:
The City’s resurfacing program provides required maintenance to the City’s street system, which extends the life of City streets and minimizes costly repairs, such as reconstruction. The 2024-2025 Pavement Rehabilitation Project is identified in the City’s Capital Improvement Program, and includes Myrtle Avenue with speed humps being installed on Hidalgo Street. The project also includes replacing damaged concrete sidewalks on Myrtle Avenue.
On May 12 and 19, 2025, a Notice Inviting Bids for the project was advertised in the San Gabriel Valley Tribune. The final submission date for bids on PlanetBids was May 28, 2025 at 11:00 am. The City received (9) bids with the following results:
Contractor Total Bid Amount
1 Sully-Miller Contracting Company $568,127.85
2 Estate Design and Construction $584,675.27
3 Gentry Brothers, Inc. $634,425.00
4 All American Asphalt $634,644.00

7 Hardy & Harper, Inc. $698,500.00
8 Excel Paving $706,436.70

Staff reviewed the bid proposals and found Sully-Miller Contracting Company to be the lowest responsible bidder with a valid California contractor's license, Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) registration, not barred from bidding on public works contracts, and having good references.
Staff recommends the contract be awarded to Sully-Miller Contracting Company in the amount of $568,127.85 for the 2024-2025 Pavement Rehabilitation Project.
It is anticipated that there will be a cost of $50,000 for work related to construction inspections and quality control. This work will be performed by one of our consultants under the City’s existing On-Call As Needed Consulting Services List.
The attached contract agreement has been reviewed and approved as to form by the City Attorney’s office.

(a) Public Work. The Parties acknowledge that the work to be performed under this Agreement is a “public work” as defined in Labor Code Section 1720 and that this Agreement is therefore subject to the requirements of Division 2, Part 7, Chapter 1 (commencing with Section 1720) of the California Labor Code relating to public works contracts and the rules and regulations established by the Department of Industrial Relations (“DIR”) implementing such statutes.

By initiating any work under this Agreement, Contractor acknowledges receipt of a copy of the DIR determination of the prevailing rate of per diem wages, and Contractor shall post a copy of the same at each job site where work is performed under this Agreement. If this Agreement is subject to the payment of federal prevailing wages under the Davis-Bacon Act (40 U.S.C. § 3141 et seq.), then Contractor shall pay the higher of either the state for federal prevailing wage applicable to each laborer.
(d) Penalty for Failure to Pay Prevailing Wages. Contractor shall comply with and be bound by the provisions of Labor Code Sections 1774 and 1775 concerning the payment of prevailing rates of wages to workers and the penalties for failure to pay prevailing wages. The Contractor shall, as a penalty to the City, forfeit two hundred dollars ($200) for each calendar day, or portion thereof, for each worker paid less than the prevailing rates as determined by the DIR for the work or craft in which the worker is employed for any public work done pursuant to this Agreement by Contractor or by any subcontractor.
(e) Payroll Records. Contractor shall comply with and be bound by the provisions of Labor Code Section 1776, which requires Contractor and each subcontractor to: keep accurate payroll records and verify such records in writing under penalty of perjury, as specified

in Section 1776; certify and make such payroll records available for inspection as provided by Section 1776; and inform the City of the location of the records. (f) Apprentices. Contractor shall comply with and be bound by the provisions of Labor Code Sections 1777.5, 1777.6, and 1777.7 and California Code of Regulations Title 8, Section 200 et seq. concerning the employment of apprentices on public works projects. Contractor shall be responsible for compliance with these aforementioned Sections for all apprenticeable occupations. Prior to commencing work under this Agreement, Contractor shall provide City with a copy of the information submitted to any applicable apprenticeship program. Within sixty (60) days after concluding work pursuant to this Agreement, Contractor and each of its subcontractors shall submit to the City a verified statement of the journeyman and apprentice hours performed under this Agreement.
(g) Eight-Hour Work Day. Contractor acknowledges that eight (8) hours labor constitutes a legal day’s work. Contractor shall comply with and be bound by Labor Code Section 1810.
(h) Penalties for Excess Hours. Contractor shall comply with and be bound by the provisions of Labor Code Section 1813 concerning penalties for workers who work excess hours. The Contractor shall, as a penalty to the City, forfeit twenty-five dollars ($25) for each worker employed in the performance of this Agreement by the Contractor or by any subcontractor for each calendar day during which such worker is required or permitted to work more than eight (8) hours in any one calendar day and forty (40) hours in any one calendar week in violation of the provisions of Division 2, Part 7, Chapter 1, Article 3 of the Labor Code. Pursuant to Labor Code section 1815, work performed by employees of Contractor in excess of eight (8) hours per day, and forty (40) hours during any one week shall be permitted upon public work upon compensation for all hours worked in excess of 8 hours per day at not less than one and one-half (1½) times the basic rate of pay.
(i) Workers’ Compensation. California Labor Code Sections 1860 and 3700 provide that every employer will be required to secure the payment of compensation to its employees if it has employees. In accordance with the provisions of California Labor Code Section 1861, Contractor certifies as follows:
“I am aware of the provisions of Section 3700 of the Labor Code which require every employer to be insured against liability for workers’ compensation or to undertake self-insurance in accordance with the provisions of that code, and I will comply with such provisions before commencing the performance of the work of this contract.”
(j) Contractor’s Responsibility for Subcontractors. For every subcontractor who will perform work under this Agreement, Contractor shall be responsible for such subcontractor’s compliance with Division 2, Part 7, Chapter 1 (commencing with Section 1720) of the California Labor Code, and shall make such compliance a requirement in any contract with any subcontractor for work under this Agreement. Contractor shall be required to take all actions necessary to enforce such contractual provisions and ensure subcontractor’s compliance, including without limitation, conducting a review of the certified payroll records of the subcontractor on a
-4-
01005.0006 2010766.1
periodic basis or upon becoming aware of the failure of the subcontractor to pay his or her workers the specified prevailing rate of wages. Contractor shall diligently take corrective action to halt or rectify any such failure by any subcontractor.
1.4 Licenses, Permits, Fees and Assessments.
Contractor shall obtain at its sole cost and expense such licenses, permits, registrations, and approvals as may be required by law for the performance of the services required by this Agreement. Contractor shall have the sole obligation to pay for any fees, assessments and taxes, plus applicable penalties and interest, which may be imposed by law and arise from or are necessary for the Contractor’s performance of the services required by this Agreement, and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless City, its officers, employees or agents of City, against any such fees, assessments, taxes, penalties or interest levied, assessed or imposed against City hereunder.
1.5 Familiarity with Work.
By executing this Agreement, Contractor warrants that Contractor (i) has thoroughly investigated and considered the scope of work to be performed, (ii) has carefully considered how the services should be performed, and (iii) fully understands the facilities, difficulties and restrictions attending performance of the services under this Agreement. If the services involve work upon any site, Contractor warrants that Contractor has or will investigate the site and is or will be fully acquainted with the conditions there existing, prior to commencement of services hereunder.
1.6 Discovery of Unknown Conditions.
(a) Pursuant to Public Contract Code section 7104, Contractor shall promptly, and before the following conditions are disturbed, notify the City, in writing, of any: (i) material Contractor believes may be hazardous waste as defined in Section 25117 of the Health & Safety Code required to be removed to a Class I, II, or III disposal site in accordance with existing law; (ii) subsurface or latent physical conditions at the site, materially different from those indicated by information about the site made available to bidders prior to the deadline for submitting bids on the project; or (iii) unknown physical conditions at the site of any unusual nature, different from those ordinarily encountered and generally recognized as inherent in work of the character provided for in this Agreement.
(b) City shall promptly investigate the conditions, and if it finds that the conditions do materially differ, or do involve hazardous waste, and cause a decrease or increase in Contractor’s cost of, or the time required for, performance of any part of the work, shall issue a change order in accordance with this Agreement.
(c) In the event that a dispute arises between City and Contractor whether the conditions materially differ, or involve hazardous waste, or cause a decrease or increase in Contractor’s cost of, or time required for, performance of any part of the work, Contractor shall not be excused from any scheduled completion date set, but shall proceed with all work to be performed under the Agreement. Contractor shall retain any and all rights provided either by
-5-
01005.0006 2010766.1
contract or by law, which pertain to the resolution of disputes and protests between the contracting parties.
1.7 Unidentified Utilities.
To the extent required by Government Code section 4215, City will compensate Contractor for the cost of locating, repairing damage not due to the failure of Contractor to exercise reasonable care, and removing or relocating utility facilities not identified by City in the Bid Documents with reasonable accuracy, and for equipment on the project necessarily idled during such work. Nothing herein shall be deemed to require City to indicate the presence of existing service laterals or appurtenances whenever the presence of such utilities on the project site can be inferred from the presence of other visible facilities, such as buildings, meters, and junction boxes, on or adjacent to the site of the construction; provided, however, nothing herein shall relieve City from identifying main or trunklines in the plans and specifications. If Contractor, while performing the work, discovers utility facilities not identified by City in the plans or specifications, Contractor shall immediately notify City and the utility in writing. This Agreement is subject to Government Code sections 4126 through 4216.9. Contractor must notify utilities and obtain an identification number before excavation or be subject to liability for damages to subsurface installations.
1.8 Trench Excavation.
Pursuant to Labor Code section 6705, if this Agreement is for more than $25,000 and requires the excavation of any trench or trenches five feet or more in depth, Contractor shall submit, in advance of such excavation, a detailed plan showing the design of shoring, bracing, sloping, or other provisions to be made for worker protection from the hazard of caving ground during the excavation of such trench or trenches. The plan shall be reviewed and accepted by the City, or a registered civil or structural engineer employed by the City to whom authority has been delegated, prior to the excavation. If the plan varies from the shoring system standards, the plan shall be prepared by a registered civil or structural engineer. This section shall not be deemed to allow the use of a shoring, sloping, or protective system less effective than that required by the Construction Safety Orders. This subsection shall not be construed to impose tort liability on the City or any of its employees. Full compensation for sheeting, shoring, bracing, sloping, and all other provisions required for worker protection shall be considered as included in the contract price shown in the appropriate Bid Item, and no additional compensation will be allowed therefor.
1.9 Protection and Care of Work and Materials.
The Contractor shall adopt reasonable methods, including providing and maintaining storage facilities, during the life of the Agreement to furnish continuous protection to the work, and the equipment, materials, papers, documents, plans, studies and/or other components thereof to prevent losses or damages, and shall be responsible for all such damages, to persons or property, until acceptance of the work by City, except such losses or damages as caused by City’s own negligence. Stored materials shall be reasonably accessible for inspection. Contractor shall not, without City’s consent, assign, sell, mortgage, hypothecate, or remove equipment or materials which have been installed or delivered and which may be necessary for the completion of the work.

1.10 Warranty.
Contractor warrants all work under the Agreement (which for purposes of this Section shall be deemed to include unauthorized work which has not been removed and any non-conforming materials incorporated into the work) to be of good quality and free from any defective or faulty material and workmanship. Contractor agrees that for a period of one year (or the period of time specified elsewhere in the Agreement or in any guarantee or warranty provided by any manufacturer or supplier of equipment or materials incorporated into the work, whichever is later) after the date of final acceptance, Contractor shall within ten (10) days after being notified in writing by the City of any defect in the work or non-conformance of the work to the Agreement, commence and prosecute with due diligence all work necessary to fulfill the terms of the warranty at its sole cost and expense. Contractor shall act as soon as requested by the City in response to an emergency. In addition, Contractor shall, at its sole cost and expense, repair, remove and replace any portions of the work (or work of other contractors) damaged by its defective work or which becomes damaged in the course of repairing or replacing defective work. For any work so corrected, Contractor’s obligation hereunder to correct defective work shall be reinstated for an additional one year period, commencing with the date of acceptance of such corrected work.
Contractor shall perform such tests as the City may require to verify that any corrective actions, including, without limitation, redesign, repairs, and replacements comply with the requirements of the Agreement. All costs associated with such corrective actions and testing, including the removal, replacement, and reinstitution of equipment and materials necessary to gain access, shall be the sole responsibility of the Contractor. All warranties and guarantees of subcontractors, suppliers and manufacturers with respect to any portion of the work, whether express or implied, are deemed to be obtained by Contractor for the benefit of the City, regardless of whether or not such warranties and guarantees have been transferred or assigned to the City by separate agreement and Contractor agrees to enforce such warranties and guarantees, if necessary, on behalf of the City. In the event that Contractor fails to perform its obligations under this Section, or under any other warranty or guaranty under this Agreement, to the reasonable satisfaction of the City, the City shall have the right to correct and replace any defective or non-conforming work and any work damaged by such work or the replacement or correction thereof at Contractor’s sole expense.
Contractor shall be obligated to fully reimburse the City for any expenses incurred hereunder upon demand.
1.11 Additional Work and Change Orders.
(a) City shall have the right at any time during the performance of the services, without invalidating this Agreement, to order extra work beyond that specified in the Scope of Work or make changes by altering, adding to or deducting from said work. No such extra work may be undertaken unless a written change order is first given by the City’s Director of Public Works Engineering or City Engineer, or either of their designees, to the Contractor, incorporating therein any adjustment in (i) the Contract Sum, and/or (ii) the time to perform this Agreement, which said adjustments are subject to the written approval of the Contractor (“Change Order”).
All Change Orders must be signed by the Contractor and City’s Director of Public Works Engineering or City Engineer, or either of their designees, prior to commencing the extra work thereunder.
-7-
01005.0006 2010766.1
(b) Any increase in compensation of up to five percent (5%) of the Contract Sum or any increase in the time to perform of up to one hundred eighty (180) working days and which are not detrimental to the Work or to the interest of the City, may be approved by the City’s Director of Public Works Engineering or City Engineer, or either of their designees. Any greater increases, taken either separately or cumulatively, must be approved by the City Council. (c) Any adjustment in the Contract Sum for a Change Order must be in accordance with the rates set forth in the Contractor’s Bid. If the rates in the Contractor’s Bid do not cover the type of work in the Change Order, the cost of such work shall not exceed an amount agreed upon in writing and signed by Contractor and City’s Director of Public Works Engineering or City Engineer, or either of their designees. If the cost of the Change Order cannot be agreed upon, the City will pay for actual work of the Change Order completed, to the satisfaction of the City, as follows:
(i) Labor: The cost of labor shall be the actual cost for wages of workers and subcontractors performing the work for the Change Order at the time such work is done. The use of labor classifications that would increase the cost of such work shall not be permitted.
(ii) Materials and Equipment: The cost of materials and equipment shall be at cost to Contractor or lowest current price which such materials and equipment are reasonably available at the time the work is done, whichever is lower. (iii) If the cost of the extra work cannot be agreed upon, the Contractor must provide a daily report that includes invoices for labor, materials and equipment costs for the work under the Change Order. The daily report must include: list of names of workers, classifications, and hours worked; description and list of quantities of materials used; type of equipment, size, identification number, and hours of operation, including loading and transportation, if applicable; description of other City authorized services and expenditures in such detail as the City may require. Failure to submit a daily report by the close of the next working day may, at the City’s sole and absolute discretion, waive the Contractor’s rights for that day. (d) It is expressly understood by Contractor that the provisions of this Section shall not apply to services specifically set forth in the Scope of Work. Contractor hereby acknowledges that it accepts the risk that the services to be provided pursuant to the Scope of Work may be more costly or time consuming than Contractor anticipates and that Contractor shall not be entitled to additional compensation therefor. City may in its sole and absolute discretion have similar work done by other contractors.
(e) No claim for an increase in the Contract Sum or time for performance shall be valid unless the procedures established in this Section are followed.
1.12 Special Requirements.
Additional terms and conditions of this Agreement, if any, which are made a part hereof are set forth in the “Special Requirements,” attached hereto as Exhibit B and incorporated herein by this reference. In the event of a conflict between the provisions of Exhibit B and any other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of Exhibit B shall govern.

ARTICLE 2. COMPENSATION AND METHOD OF PAYMENT.
2.1 Contract Sum.
Subject to any limitations set forth in this Agreement, City agrees to pay Contractor the amounts set forth in the “Schedule of Compensation,” attached hereto as Exhibit C and incorporated herein by this reference. Subject to any additions or deductions that may be made by change order or amendment, and any penalties or damages that may be assessed against Contractor, Contractor shall receive total compensation, including reimbursement of Contractor’s expenses, of an amount not to exceed Five Hundred Sixty-Eight Thousand, One Hundred Twenty-Seven Dollars and 85/100 Cents ($568,127.85) (“Contract Sum”) for completion of the work. The Contract Sum shall constitute full compensation for furnishing all materials and for doing all the work contemplated and embraced in this Agreement; and also for all loss or damage arising out of the nature of the work, or from any unforeseen difficulties or obstructions which may arise or be encountered in the prosecution of the work until its acceptance by the City, and for all risks of every description connected with the work; also for all expenses incurred by or in consequence of the suspension or discontinuance of work and for well and faithfully completing the work, and the whole thereof, in the manner and according to the plans and specifications, and the requirements of the Bid Documents and this Agreement. The Contract Sum shall be made in the form of progress payments subject to retention pursuant to Section 2.4.
2.2 Invoices.
Each month Contractor shall furnish to City an original invoice for all work performed during the preceding month in a form approved by City’s Director of Finance. By submitting an invoice for payment under this Agreement, Contractor is certifying compliance with all provisions of the Agreement.
All invoices shall include a copy of Contractor’s Certified Payroll and proof that Certified Payroll has been submitted to the DIR. Contractor shall also submit a list of the prevailing wage rates (including federal prevailing wage rates, if applicable) for all employees and subcontractors providing services under this Agreement, as applicable, with Contractor’s first invoice. If these rates change at any time during the term of the Agreement, Contractor shall submit a new list of rates to the City with its first invoice following the effective date of the rate change.
2.3 Payment.
(a) Payments Made by City. City shall independently review each invoice submitted by the Contractor to determine whether the work performed and expenses incurred are in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. Except as to any charges for work performed or expenses incurred by Contractor which are disputed by City, City will cause Contractor to be paid any progress payment within thirty (30) days of receipt of Contractor’s correct and undisputed invoice; however, Contractor acknowledges and agrees that due to City warrant run procedures, the City cannot guarantee that payment will occur within this time period. In the event that City does not cause Contractor to be paid any progress payment within thirty (30) days of receipt of an undisputed and properly submitted invoice and provided the Project is for construction, Contractor shall be entitled to the payment of interest to the extent allowed under Public Contract Code
-9-
01005.0006 2010766.1
Section 20104.50. In the event any charges or expenses are disputed by City, the original invoice shall be returned by City to Contractor, not later than seven (7) days after receipt by the City, for correction and resubmission. Returned invoices shall be accompanied by a document setting forth in writing the reasons why the payment request was rejected. Review and payment by the City of any invoice provided by the Contractor shall not constitute a waiver of any rights or remedies provided herein or any applicable law.
(b) Payments Made by Contractor to Subcontractors. Contractor shall remit payments owed to subcontractors within fifteen (15) calendar days after receiving payments by City if payments are owed by Contractor to any subcontractor qualifying as a small business enterprise, and within thirty (30) calendar days if payments are owed by Contractor to any subcontractor other than a small business enterprise.
2.4 Retention.
Pursuant to Section 9203 of the Public Contract Code, City will deduct a five percent (5%) retention from all progress payments, which shall be released to Contractor no later than sixty (60) days from completion of the work in accordance with Section 7107 of the Public Contract Code.
In the event of a dispute between City and Contractor, City may withhold from the final payment an amount not to exceed one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the disputed amount.
2.5 Waiver.
Payment to Contractor for work performed pursuant to this Agreement shall not be deemed to waive any defects in work performed by Contractor.
2.6 Substitution of Securities.
(a) In conformance with the State of California Public Contract Code, Part 5, Section 22300, Contractor may substitute securities for any monies withheld by the City to ensure performance under this Agreement.
(b) At the request and expense of Contractor, Contractor has the option of establishing an escrow account with a state or federally chartered bank which shall serve as an escrow agent, for Contractor’s direct deposit of securities as a substitute for retention earnings required to be withheld by the City. Upon Contractor’s completion of its obligations hereunder, as evidenced by the City’s acceptance of the work pursuant to Section 3.3 hereof, the escrow agent shall return the securities to Contractor. The escrow agent shall notify the City within ten (10) days after deposit of the securities. The market value of the securities at the time of the substitution shall be at least equal to the cash amount then required to be withheld as retention. Securities shall be held in the name of the City and shall designate Contractor as the beneficial owner. Alternatively, on written request of Contractor, the City shall make payments of the retention earnings directly to the escrow account.

ARTICLE 3. PERFORMANCE SCHEDULE
3.1 Schedule of Performance.
Contractor shall complete the Project within Thirty (30) working days after receiving a “Notice to Proceed” from the City in accordance with any schedule contained in or required to be provided by the Proposal or Bid Documents, and any revisions thereof approved by the City in writing. Time is of the essence. If the work is not completed within said time period, liquidated damages shall apply. The term of this Agreement shall expire one (1) year following City’s acceptance of the Project.
3.2 Liquidated Damages.
Since the determination of actual damages for any delay in performance of this Agreement would be extremely difficult or impractical to determine in the event of a breach of this Agreement, the Contractor and its sureties shall be liable for and shall pay to the City the sum of Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) as liquidated damages for each working day of delay in the performance of any service required hereunder. The City may withhold any accrued liquidated damages from any monies payable on account of services performed by the Contractor. To the extent required by Government Code section 4215, Contractor shall not be assessed liquidated damages for delay in completion of the work when such delay was caused by the failure of the City or owner of the utility to provide for removal or relocation of utility facilities.
3.3 Force Majeure.
The time period(s) specified in the Schedule of Performance for performance of the services rendered pursuant to this Agreement shall be extended because of any delays due to unforeseeable causes beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the Contractor, including, but not restricted to, acts of God or of the public enemy, unusually severe weather, fires, earthquakes, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, riots, strikes, freight embargoes, wars, litigation, and/or acts of any governmental agency, including the City, if the Contractor shall within ten (10) days of the commencement of such delay notify the Project Manager in writing of the causes of the delay. The Project Manager shall ascertain the facts and the extent of delay, and extend the time for performing the services for the period of the enforced delay when and if in the judgment of the Project Manager such delay is justified. The Project Manager’s determination shall be final and conclusive upon the Parties to this Agreement. In no event shall Contractor be entitled to recover damages against the City for any delay in the performance of this Agreement, however caused, Contractor’s sole remedy being extension of the Agreement pursuant to this Section.
