✓ Art replacement.
• A review of administrative expenses to ensure they were reasonably assessed to implement this program and that they do not exceed five percent of the total funds in the account on July 1 of any year or $25,000 in any fiscal year.
If fees collected are not committed for the aforementioned uses, they are returned to the contributor. Staff analyzed APP fund revenues and expenditures, and no reimbursements are due to contributors. There were no administrative costs. During 2020/21, APP funds were used to paint art murals and maintain and preserve art pieces as detailed in Attachment 1.
During FY 2020/21, the City

Fred Waring Drive and
Adams Street.

• In 2006, the original developer of this tract, La Quinta Developers, LLC, recorded a final map and executed on-site and off-site Subdivision Improvement Agreements (SIAs). During the economic downturn, they lost the property through foreclosure after completing some, but not all, of the improvements.
• La Quinta 47, LLC (New Developer) has recently acquired interest in the property and desires to enter into replacement of on-site and off-site SIAs and bonds for the design and construction of the remaining public and private improvements associated with this tract.
• The replacement SIAs and bonds will ensure construction and acceptance of the remainder of the improvements for this tract.

As provided in paragraph 13 of this Agreement, the warranty period shall not commence until final acceptance of all the work and improvements by the City pursuant to Paragraph 10. Warranty security not utilized during the warranty period shall be released one year after final acceptance or approval by the City Council of all Improvements.

6) City may retain from any security released an amount sufficient to cover costs and reasonable expenses and fees, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.
4. Permits Required. Prior to commencing any phase of work, Builder shall obtain all permits required for that phase of work and pay all required fees. Work performed under a permit or permits shall comply with all provisions of the required permits.
5. Off-site Improvements.

Any unexpended portion of said advance shall be refunded to Builder. Any additional funds required for acquisition of the real property shall be paid by Builder to City upon the conveyance of said real property to Builder. In no event shall the failure of Builder or City to acquire such real property excuse, waive, or otherwise terminate Builder's obligation to construct the applicable improvement pursuant to this Agreement or the Conditions of Approval.

The request shall be accompanied by any required certifications from Builder's engineers or surveyors, approval letters from other agencies having jurisdiction over and approval authority for improvements required by this Agreement or the Conditions of Approval, and any required construction quality documentation not previously submitted.

12. Revisions to Plans. When the Improvements have been inspected and approved by the City Engineer, Builder shall make any necessary revisions to the original plans held by City so the plans depict the actual Improvements constructed. When necessary revisions have been made, each separate sheet of the plans shall be clearly marked with the words "As-Built," "As-Constructed," or "Record Drawing," the marking shall be stamped by an engineer or surveyor, as appropriate for the improvements thereon, who is licensed to practice in California, and the plans shall be resubmitted to the City Engineer.

6) City may retain from any security released an amount sufficient to cover costs and reasonable expenses and fees, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.
4. Permits Required. Prior to commencing any phase of work, Builder shall obtain all permits required for that phase of work and pay all required fees. Work performed under a permit or permits shall comply with all provisions of the required permits.

If City so agrees, City and Builder shall enter a separate written agreement in a form acceptable to the City Attorney. Said separate agreement shall provide that Builder advance to City One Hundred Fifty Percent (150%) of the appraised fair market value of the real property. Any unexpended portion of said advance shall be refunded to Builder. Any additional funds required for acquisition of the real property shall be paid by Builder to City upon the conveyance of said real property to Builder. In no event shall the failure of Builder or City to acquire such real property excuse, waive, or otherwise terminate Builder's obligation to construct the applicable improvement pursuant to this Agreement or the Conditions of Approval.

The Resolution of Approval is on file in the office of the City Clerk and is incorporated into this Agreement by reference.
B. On or about October 11, 2006, Builder’s predecessor in interest, Adobe Holdings, Inc., a California Corporation (“Original Subdivider”), entered into the original Subdivision Improvement Agreement for the above-referenced subdivision.

RECITALS:
A. A final map of the Tract has been approved and recorded subject to the Subdivision Laws and to the requirements and conditions contained in City Council Resolution No. 2005-019 (the “Resolution of Approval”). The Resolution of Approval is on file in the office of the City Clerk and is incorporated into this Agreement by reference.
B. On or about October 11, 2006, Builder’s predecessor in interest, Adobe Holdings, Inc., a California Corporation (“Original Subdivider”), entered into the original Subdivision Improvement Agreement for the above-referenced subdivision.
C. The Original Subdivider has constructed certain of the improvements (“Installed Improvements”) required pursuant to the Resolution of Approval, but that those improvements have not yet been accepted by the City.
D. Builder has agreed to install the remaining public and private improvements (the “Remaining Improvements") associated with this tract map.
E. The Remaining Improvements have not been installed and accepted at this time.
F. The Installed Improvement and the Remaining Improvements are referred to collectively hereinafter as “the Improvements.”
G. It is therefore necessary that Builder and City enter into an agreement for the installation of the Remaining Improvements, and any final work needed in order for the Installed Improvements to be accepted. Builder desires to enter into this Agreement, whereby Builder promises to install and complete, at Builder’s own expense, all the remaining public improvement work required by City in connection with the proposed Tract. Builder has secured this Agreement by improvement security required by the Subdivision Laws and approved by the City.
NOW, THEREFORE, it is agreed by and between the parties hereto as follows:
1. Improvement Plans. Builder shall furnish complete original improvement plans for the construction, installation and completion of the Improvements meeting the requirements of the City Engineer.

2. Improvements. Builder shall construct the Improvements required to be constructed or agreed to be constructed under the Resolution of Approval and this Agreement as more specifically described in Exhibit "A." attached hereto and expressly made a part hereof by this reference, and shall bear the full cost thereof.

One class of security to be provided by Builder, hereinafter referred to as "performance security," shall assure the faithful performance of this Agreement including construction of the Improvements, payment of Builder’s fair share of Improvements which have been or will be constructed by others (“Participatory Improvements”), and payment of plan check and permit fees. The performance security shall also include good and sufficient security in the amount of one hundred percent (100%) of the estimated cost of setting subdivision monuments as stated hereafter in this Agreement (“Monumentation Security”). A second class of security to be provided by Builder, hereinafter referred to as "payment security," shall assure the payment of the cost of labor, equipment and materials supplied to construct the Improvements.

Builder shall furnish performance and payment security prior to permit issuance.
Builder shall provide warranty security after Improvements are complete and prior to the City Council acceptance of the Improvements. Warranty security shall not be required for Monumentation, Private Improvements, or Participatory Improvements.

As part of the obligation secured by each of the performance security, payment security and warranty security, and in addition to the face amount of each such security, each such security shall include and assure the payment of costs and reasonable expenses and fees, including reasonable attorney's fees, incurred by City in successfully enforcing the obligations thereby secured.

Pursuant to Assembly Bill 361 (Stats. 2021, Ch. 165) (AB 361), which waived certain provisions of the Ralph M. Brown Act (Brown Act) and authorized local agencies to hold public meetings via teleconferencing whenever a state of emergency exists that makes it unsafe to meet in person, Council must reconsider the circumstances of the state of emergency every 30 days and affirm the required findings in order to continue to allow teleconference accessibility for public meetings. On September 28, 2021, Council adopted Resolution No. 2021-035 (Attachment 1) making the required findings under AB 361 and authorizing the City Manager to implement teleconference accessibility to conduct public meetings.

The City monitors attendance via teleconference as well as email correspondence (as published on the agenda) throughout each public meeting and provides access for public comment opportunities in real time both verbally and in writing.

The revenue report includes revenues and transfers into funds from other funds (income items). Revenues are not received uniformly throughout the year, resulting in peaks and valleys. For example, large property tax payments are usually received in December and May. Similarly, Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund payments are typically received in January and June. Any timing imbalance of revenue receipts versus expenditures is funded from the City’s cash flow reserve.
The expenditure report includes expenditures and transfers out to other funds.
Unlike revenues, expenditures are more likely to be consistent from month to month. However, large debt service payments or CIP expenditures can cause swings.

City of La Quinta
CITY COUNCIL MEETING: February 15, 2022
STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: APPROVE REQUEST TO AMEND THE LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICE AGREEMENT WITH RIVERSIDE COUNTY SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT TO
CONVERT TWO TRAFFIC CAR POSITIONS TO TRAFFIC MOTOR POSITIONS
RECOMMENDATION
Approve request to amend the Law Enforcement Service Agreement with the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department to convert two traffic car positions to traffic motor positions; and authorize the City Manager to execute the amendment.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Since 1982, the City of La Quinta has contracted with the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department (RCDS) for law enforcement services. La Quinta Sheriff’s traffic team is currently staffed with five (5) traffic enforcement officers, consisting of three (3) traffic car officers, and two (2) motors officers.
On January 20, 2022, the City Manager received a letter from the RCDS requesting that two (2) traffic car positions be converted to motor positions to better serve the community (Attachment 1). If Council approves this request, an amendment to the current Law Enforcement Agreement (Attachment 2) will need to be authorized.
FISCAL IMPACT
The cost of converting two traffic officers to motor officers, is estimated at approximately $74,000, which includes the cost of two new motorcycles, uniforms, equipment, and motor deputy pay differential ($1.93 per hour more over the deputy rate). Training costs will be covered by the RCSD. Recurring annual cost thereafter is estimated to be about $24,660 a year for the two motors. The net annual increase is estimated to be $14,220 after savings associated with less patrol car mileage. Funds to cover this request are available in the Fiscal Year 2021-22 Police Service Budget.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
The City contracts with RCSD to provide law enforcement services. Under the current Sheriff’s contract, La Quinta has 1 Lieutenant, 2 Sergeants, an average of 25 Deputies assigned to daily patrol services, 5 Deputies allocated to the Target Team, 2 Motor Officers, 3 Traffic Officers, 2 Deputies appointed to the Narcotics and Gang Task Force, and 6 Community Service Officers.
In January 2022, Lt. Andy Martinez submitted a request recommending that the City convert two traffic car officers to motor officers to enhance the traffic enforcement efforts and support community needs. Per the request, Lt.
Martinez states that by increasing the number of motor officers to four units, the department will improve its visibility in areas known for speeding and/or traffic issues and increase motor officers’ coverage throughout the week.
Moreover, motor officers compared to patrol cars have better maneuverability and positional opportunities to observe and monitor traffic and provide a visible deterrent for drivers, therefore enhancing traffic safety in La Quinta.
ALTERNATIVES
Council could elect to delay, modify, or reject the requested amendment to the law enforcement contract.

Recommendation
The Sheriff’s Department is currently staffed with 5 traffic enforcement officers, two deployed on patrol motors and three in patrol cars. We are requesting the conversion of two patrol car positions to patrol motor positions to enhance traffic safety efforts and support local events with large vehicle and pedestrian attendance. These units will be deployed in areas where there are complaints of excessive speeding or a high volume of collisions and will allow greater weekday coverage. The smaller profile of a patrol motor allows for greater maneuverability and positional opportunities to observe and monitor traffic not available to patrol cars, which can maximize the visible deterrent impact and safety objectives.
Fiscal Impact
The costs to convert two existing traffic car positions to traffic motor positions include capital expenditures and reoccurring annual costs to purchase, operate and maintain the motorcycles. The first-year capital costs estimated at $74,000, are related to the purchase of two BMW motorcycles and personal protective equipment. Prerequisite training programs are reimbursable to the Sheriff’s Department, and as a result, no funding for this initial training is requested.
Reoccurring annual costs include motor fuel, maintenance and safety/hazard pay at an estimated annual cost of $24,660 for two motors.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
The Project will replace the existing low water crossing with an all-weather access bridge on Dune Palms Road at the CVSWC.
In November 2020, Caltrans advised that the HBP Funding Program had been oversubscribed for FY 2020/21 and 2021/22 and there is no additional programming capacity for projects already in construction or ready to advertise.
At the direction of the City Council in June 2021, the City agreed to provide ’at risk‘ advance funding using the Advance Construction Procedure outlined in Section 3.7 of the Caltrans Local Procedures Manual, and Caltrans approved the City’s request.
The environmental, engineering/design and right-of-way phases are complete and are fully funded. The construction phase which includes Construction, Construction Engineering, and Contingency is estimated at $20,869,098.
The HBP Funding will ultimately contribute 88.53% or up to $14,936,122 toward eligible (Construction Phase) costs. This is the amount the City is required to advance. Staff and the FAC recommend using a combination of Unassigned Reserves and Measure G Reserves for this advance funding due to their current balances. The City anticipates these funds to be reimbursed within two to five fiscal years
The City’s non-reimbursed share of the construction phase will be $932,987.
In November 2021 staff advertised an RFP seeking qualified firms to provide CMI services for the Project. Three proposals were received from Anser Advisory Consultants (Anser), Southstar Engineering and Consulting, and TYLI.
The selection committee conducted interviews with Anser and TYLI. TYLI was selected as the most qualified firm to provide the requested services. The fixed fee plus cost contract amount for CMI services is $2,764,651. The financial documents for TYLI and all subconsultants will need to be reviewed and approved by the Independent Office of Audit and Investigations (IOAI) through Caltrans prior to executing the Agreement.
The proposed Project improvements will replace the existing low water crossing with a new all-weather bridge consisting of a curb-to-curb roadway width of 72 feet with a 6-ft sidewalk on each side of the bridge. The bridge is anticipated to be 480 feet long and 86 feet wide. The typical section will include a 6-ft sidewalk on both sides of the bridge, two (2) 8-ft bike/cart paths, two (2) 11-ft outside lanes, two (2) 12-ft inside lanes, and a 9’-8” raised median. 125 Click Here to Return to Agenda
The Project will construct channel improvements immediately upstream and downstream of the proposed bridge consisting of concrete slope protection and cutoff walls to protect the bridge foundations from scour. Construct bridge approach roadway improvements (including drainage) to accommodate the raised profile for the proposed bridge.
Other ancillary construction activities associated with the bridge construction will include but is not limited to:
Removal / Demolition of two mobile homes and a single family home; Two main sewer main relocations to avoid conflict with the northern abutment;
Water main relocation from upstream to downstream of the bridge within the channel area below the slope protection cut off wall; Spectrum relocations north of the channel into the new parkway; Minor Frontier reconstruction of an underground conduit system south of the channel;
Electrical (IID) distribution undergrounding for the full length of the project under a relocation agreement;
Interim electrical distribution line shoo fly for the initial bridge construction phase;
Construction of a multi-use trail (CV/Link) underpass of the bridge along with two secondary connecter trails from CV/Link to Dune Palms Road; and
Construction and removal of a bypass road.
Contingent upon approval to advertise the project for bid on February 15, 2022, the following is the project schedule:

The name and address of the Contracting Party or Subconsultant performing the work shall not be marked or obliterated.
The Contracting Party shall inform City of the location of the records enumerated under this Section 11.2, including the street address, city and county, and shall, within five (5) working days, provide a notice of a change of location and address.

Such penalties shall be withheld by City from payments then due. Contracting Party is not subject to a penalty assessment pursuant to this section due to the failure of a Subconsultant to comply with this section.

-26-
the Director of DIR for the work or craft in which the worker is employed for any public work done under the Agreement by the Contracting Party or by its Subconsultant in violation of the requirements of the Labor Code and in particular, Labor Code §§1770 to 1780, inclusive.
The amount of this forfeiture shall be determined by the Labor Commissioner and shall be based on consideration of mistake, inadvertence, or neglect of the Contracting Party or Subconsultant in failing to pay the correct rate of prevailing wages, or the previous record of the Contracting Party or Subconsultant in meeting their respective prevailing wage obligations, or the willful failure by the Contracting Party or Subconsultant to pay the correct rates of prevailing wages. A mistake, inadvertence, or neglect in failing to pay the correct rates of prevailing wages is not excusable if the Contracting Party or Subconsultant had knowledge of the obligations under the Labor Code. The Contracting Party is responsible for paying the appropriate rate, including any escalations that take place during the term of the Agreement.
In addition to the penalty and pursuant to Labor Code §1775, the difference between the prevailing wage rates and the amount paid to each worker for each calendar day or portion thereof for which each worker was paid less than the prevailing wage rate shall be paid to each worker by the Contracting Party or Subconsultant.
If a worker employed by a Subconsultant on a public works project is not paid the general prevailing per diem wages by the Subconsultant, the Contracting Party is not liable for the penalties described above unless the Contracting Party had knowledge of that failure of the Subconsultant to pay the specified prevailing rate of wages to those workers or unless the Contracting Party fails to comply with all of the following requirements:
A. The Agreement executed between the Contracting Party and the Subconsultant for the performance of work on public works projects shall include a copy of the requirements in Labor Code §§ 1771, 1775, 1776, 1777.5, 1813, and 1815.
B. The Contracting Party shall monitor the payment of the specified general prevailing rate of per diem wages by the Subconsultant to the employees by periodic review of the certified payroll records of the Subconsultant.
C. Upon becoming aware of the Subconsultant’s failure to pay the specified prevailing rate of wages to the Subconsultant’s workers, the Contracting Party shall diligently take corrective action to halt or rectify the failure, including but not limited to, retaining sufficient 154 Click Here to Return to Agenda
-27-
funds due the Subconsultant for work performed on the public works project.
D. Prior to making final payment to the Subconsultant for work performed on the public works project, the Contracting Party shall obtain an affidavit signed under penalty of perjury from the Subconsultant that the Subconsultant had paid the specified general prevailing rate of per diem wages to the Subconsultant’s employees on the public works project and any amounts due pursuant to Labor Code §1813.
Pursuant to Labor Code §1775, City shall notify the Contracting Party on a public works project within fifteen (15) calendar days of receipt of a complaint that a Subconsultant has failed to pay workers the general prevailing rate of per diem wages.
If City determines that employees of a Subconsultant were not paid the general prevailing rate of per diem wages and if City did not retain sufficient money under the Agreement to pay those employees the balance of wages owed under the general prevailing rate of per diem wages, the Contracting Party shall withhold an amount of moneys due the Subconsultant sufficient to pay those employees the general prevailing rate of per diem wages if requested by City.
11.5 Hours of Labor. Eight (8) hours labor constitutes a legal day's work. The Contracting Party shall forfeit, as a penalty to the City, twenty-five dollars ($25) for each worker employed in the execution of the Agreement by the Contracting Party or any of its Subconsultants 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 the Labor Code, and in particular §§1810 to 1815 thereof, inclusive, except that work performed by employees in excess of eight (8) hours per day, and forty (40) hours during any one week, shall be permitted upon compensation for all hours worked in excess of eight (8) hours per day and forty (40) hours in any week, at not less than one and one-half (1.5) times the basic rate of pay, as provided in §1815.
11.6 Employment of Apprentices. Where either the prime Agreement or the subagreement exceeds thirty thousand dollars ($30,000), the Contracting Party and any subconsultants under him or her shall comply with all applicable requirements of Labor Code §§ 1777.5, 1777.6 and 1777.7 in the employment of apprentices.
The Contracting Party and its subconsultants are required to comply with all Labor Code requirements regarding the employment of apprentices, including 155 Click Here to Return to Agenda
-28-
mandatory ratios of journey level to apprentice workers. Prior to commencement of work, Contracting Party and its subconsultants are advised to contact the DIR Division of Apprenticeship Standards website at https://www.dir.ca.gov/das/, for additional information regarding the employment of apprentices and for the specific journey-to- apprentice ratios for the Agreement work. The Contracting Party is responsible for all subconsultants’ compliance with these requirements. Penalties are specified in Labor Code §1777.7.
12. DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS ENTERPRISES (DBE) PARTICIPATION.
The Contracting Party, subrecipient (City), or subconsultant shall take necessary and reasonable steps to ensure that DBE’s have opportunities to participate in the contract (49 CFR 26). To ensure equal participation of DBE’s provided in 49 CFR 26.5, The City shows a contract goal for DBE’s. Contracting Party shall make work available to DBEs and select work parts consistent with available DBE subconsultants and suppliers.
The Contracting Party shall meet the DBE goal shown elsewhere in these special provisions or demonstrate that they made adequate good faith efforts to meet this goal. It is Contracting Party’s responsibility to verify at date of proposal opening that the DBE firm is certified as a DBE by using the California Unified Certification Program (CUCP) database and possesses the most specific available North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes or work code applicable to the tye pf work the firm will perform on the contract. Additionally the Contracting Party is responsible to document the verification record by printing out the California Unified Certification Program (CUCP) data for each DBE firm. A list of DBEs certified by the CUCP can be found at https://dot.ca.gov/programs/civil-rights/dbe-search.
All DBE participation will count toward the California Department of Transportation’s federally mandated statewide overall DBE goal. Credit for materials or supplies the Contracting Party purchases from DBE’s counts toward the goal in the following manner:
- 100 percent counts if the materials or supplies are obtained from a DBE manufacturer.
- 60 percent counts if the materials or supplies are purchased from a DBE regular dealer.
- Only fees, commissions, and charges for assistance in the procurement and delivery of materials or supplies count if obtained 156 Click Here to Return to Agenda
-29-
from a DBE that is neither a manufacturer nor regular dealer. 49 CFR
26.55 defines “manufacturer” and regular dealer.”
This Agreement is subject to 49 CFR Part 26 entitled “Participation by Disadvantaged Business Enterprises in Department of Transportation Financial Assistance Programs”. Consultants who enter into a federally-funded agreement will assist the City in a good faith effort to achieve California's statewide overall DBE goal.
12.1 DBE Goal. The Goal for DBE participation for this Agreement is 17%. Participation by DBE Contracting Party or subconsultants shall be in accordance with information contained in Exhibit 10-O2: Consultant Contract DBE Commitment attached hereto and incorporated as part of the Agreement.
If a DBE subconsultant is unable to perform, the Contracting Party must make a good faith effort to replace him/her with another DBE subconsultant, if the goal is not otherwise met.
12.2 Meeting the Goal. The Contracting Party can meet the DBE participation goal by either documenting commitments to DBE’s to meet the Agreement goal, or by documenting adequate good faith efforts to meet the Agreement goal. An adequate good faith effort means that the Contracting Party must show that it took all necessary and reasonable steps to achieve a DBE goal that, by their scope, intensity, and appropriateness to the objective, could reasonably be expected to meet the DBE goal. If the Contracting Party has not met the DBE goal, complete and submit Exhibit 15-H: DBE Information – Good Faith Efforts to document efforts to meet the goal. Refer to 49 CFR Part 26 for guidance regarding evaluation of good faith efforts to meet the DBE goal.
12.3 Contract Assurance. Under 49 DBR 26.13(b):
The Contracting Party, subrecipient or subconsultant shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, or sex in the performance of this contract. The Contracting Party shall carry out applicable requirements of 49 CFR 26 in the award and administration of federal-aid contracts.
Failure by the Contracting Party to carry out these requirements is a material breach of this contract, which may result in the termination of this contract under Section 8.0 or such other remedy as the recipient deems appropriate, which may include, but is not limited to:
(1) Withholding monthly progress payments;
(2) Assessing sanctions;
(3) Liquidated Damages; and/or

The Contracting Party shall not terminate or substitute a listed DBE for convenience and perform the work with their own forces or obtain materials from other sources without authorization from the City. Unless the City’s consent is provided, the Contracting party shall not be entitled to any payment for work or material unless it is performed or supplied by the listed DBE on the Exhibit 10-02 Consultant Contract DBE Commitment form, included in the bid.
The City authorizes a request to use other forces or sources of materials if the Contracting Party shows any of the following justifications:
1. Listed DBE fails or refuses to execute a written contract based on plans and specifications for the project.
2. The City stipulated that a bond is a condition of executing the subcontract and the listed DBE fails to meet the City’s bond requirements.
3. Work requires a consultant’s license and listed DBE does not have a valid license under Contractors License Law.
4. Listed DBE fails or refuses to perform the work or furnish the listed materials (failing or refusing to perform is not an allowable reason to remove a DBE if the failure or refusal is a result of bad faith or discrimination).
5. Listed DBE’s work is unsatisfactory and not in compliance with the contract.
6. Listed DBE is ineligible to work on the project because of suspension or debarment.
7. Listed DBE becomes bankrupt or insolvent.
8. Listed DBE voluntarily withdraws with written notice from the Contract.
9. Listed DBE is ineligible to receive credit for the type of work required. 158 Click Here to Return to Agenda

10. Listed DBE owner dies or becomes disabled resulting in the inability to perform the work on the Contract.
11. The City determines other documented good cause.
The Contracting Party shall notify the original DBE of the intent to use other forces or material sources and provide the reasons and provide the DBE with 5 days to respond to the notice and advise Contracting Party and the City of the reasons why the use of other forces or sources of materials should not occur.
The Contracting Party’s request to use other forces or materials sources must include:
1. One or more of the reasons listed in the preceding paragraph.
2. Notices from the Contracting Party to the DBE regarding the request.
3. Notices from the DBE’s to the Contracting Party regarding this request.
If a listed DBE is terminated or substituted, the Contracting Party must make good faith efforts to find another DBE to substitute for the original DBE. The substitute DBE must perform at least the same amount of work as the original DBE under the contract to the extent needed to meet or exceed the DBE goal.
12.5 Commitment and Utilization. The City’s DBE program must include a monitoring and enforcement mechanism to ensure that DBE commitments reconcile to the DBE utilization.
The City shall request the Contracting Party to:
1. Notify the City’s contract officer or designated representative of any changes to its anticipated DBE participation
2. Provide this notification before starting the affected work
3. Maintain records including:
- Name and business address of each 1st tier subconsultant - Name and business address of each DBE subconsultant, DBE vendor, and DBE trucking company, regardless of tier
- Date of payment and total amount paid to each business (see Exhibit 9-F Monthly Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Payment) 159 Click Here to Return to Agenda

If the Contracting Party is a DBE Consultant, they shall include the date of work performed by their own forces and the corresponding value of the work.
If a DBE is decertified before completing its work, the DBE must notify the Contracting Party in writing of the decertification date. If a business becomes a certified DBE before completing its work, the business must notify the Contracting Party in writing of the certification date. The Contracting Party shall submit the notifications to the City. On work completion, the Contracting Party shall complete a Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE) Certification Status Change, Exhibit 17-O, form and submit the form to the City within 30 days of contract acceptance.
Upon work completion, the Contracting Party shall complete Exhibit 17-F Final Report – Utilization of Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE), First-Tier Subcontractors and submit it to the City within 90 days of contract acceptance.
The City will withhold $10,000 until the form is submitted. The City will release the withhold upon submission of the completed form.
In the City’s reports of DBE participation to Caltrans, the City must display both commitments and attainments.
12.6 Eligibility of DBE’s. A DBE is only eligible to be counted toward the Agreement goal if it performs a commercially useful function (CUF) on the Agreement. CUF must be evaluated on an agreement by agreement basis. A DBE performs a Commercially Useful Function (CUF) when it is responsible for execution of the work of the Agreement and is carrying out its responsibilities by actually performing, managing, and supervising the work involved. To perform a CUF, the DBE must also be responsible, with respect to materials and supplies used on the Agreement, for negotiating price, determining quality and quantity, ordering the material and installing (where applicable), and paying for the material itself. To determine whether a DBE is performing a CUF, evaluate the amount of work subcontracted, industry practices, whether the amount the firm is to be paid under the Agreement is commensurate with the work it is actually performing, and other relevant factors.
12.7 A DBE does not perform a CUF if its role is limited to that of an extra participant in a transaction, Agreement, or project through which funds are passed in order to obtain the appearance of DBE participation. In determining whether a DBE is such an extra participant, examine similar transactions, particularly those in which DBEs do not participate.
12.8 If a DBE does not perform or exercise responsibility for at least thirty percent (30%) of the total cost of its Agreement with its own work force, or the DBE subcontracts a greater portion of the work of the AGREEMENT than 160 Click Here to Return to Agenda
-33-
would be expected on the basis of normal industry practice for the type of work involved, it will be presumed that it is not performing a CUF.
12.9 Records. The Contracting Party shall maintain records of materials purchased or supplied from all subcontracts entered into with certified DBEs. The records shall show the name and business address of each DBE or vendor and the total dollar amount actually paid each DBE or vendor, regardless of tier. The records shall show the date of payment and the total dollar figure paid to all firms. DBE Contracting Party’s shall also show the date of work performed by their own forces along with the corresponding dollar value of the work.
12.10 Decertification of DBE. If a DBE subconsultant is decertified during the life of the Agreement, the decertified subconsultant shall notify the Contracting Party in writing with the date of decertification. If a subconsultant becomes a certified DBE during the life of the Agreement, the subconsultant shall notify the Contracting Party in writing with the date of certification. Any changes should be reported to City’s Contract Officer within thirty (30) calendar days.

13.2 Contracting Party’s Reports or Meetings. The Contracting Party shall submit progress reports at least once a month. The report should be sufficiently detailed for the City’ Contract Officer to determine, if the Contracting Party is performing to expectations, or is on schedule; to provide communication of interim findings, and to sufficiently address any difficulties or special problems encountered, so remedies can be developed.
13.3 Interpretation. The terms of this Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the meaning of the language used and shall not be construed for or against either party by reason of the authorship of this Agreement or any other rule of construction which might otherwise apply.
13.4 Section Headings and Subheadings. The section headings and subheadings contained in this Agreement are included for convenience only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the terms of this Agreement.
13.5 Cost Principals. The Contracting Party agrees that 48 CFR Part 31, Contract Cost Principles and Procedures, shall be used to determine the allowability of individual terms of cost. The Contracting Party also agrees to comply with Federal procedures in accordance with 2 CFR Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards. Any costs for which payment has been made to the Contracting Party that are determined by subsequent audit to be unallowable under 48 CFR Part 31 or 2 CFR Part 200 are subject to repayment by the Contracting Party to City. When Contracting Party or Subconsultant is a NonProfit Organization or an Institution of Higher Education, the Cost Principles for Title 2 CFR Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards shall apply.
13.6 Subcontracting. Nothing contained in this AGREEMENT or otherwise, shall create any contractual relation between the City and any Subconsultants, and no subagreement shall relieve the Contracting Party of its responsibilities and obligations hereunder. The Contracting Party agrees to be as fully responsible to the City for the acts and omissions of its Subconsultants and of persons either directly or indirectly employed by any of them as it is for the acts and omissions of persons directly employed by the Contracting Party. The Contracting Party's obligation to pay its Subconsultants is an independent obligation from the City’s obligation to make payments to the Contracting Party. The Contracting Party shall perform the work contemplated with resources available within its own organization and no portion of the work shall be subcontracted without written authorization by the City Contract Officer, except that which is expressly identified in the 162 Click Here to Return to Agenda
-35-
Schedule of Compensation. Any subagreement entered into as a result of this Agreement, shall contain all the provisions stipulated in this entire Agreement to be applicable to Subconsultants unless otherwise noted. Contracting Party shall pay its Subconsultants within Fifteen (15) calendar days from receipt of each payment made to the Contracting Party by the City. Any substitution of Subconsultants must be approved in writing by the City Contract Officer in advance of assigning work to a substitute Subconsultant.
13.7 Prompt Progress Payment. The Contracting Party or
subconsultant shall pay to any subconsultant, no later than fifteen (15) days after receipt of each progress payment, unless otherwise agreed to in writing, the respective amounts allowed the Contracting Party on account of the work performed by the subconsultants, to the extent of each subconsultant’s interest therein. In the event that there is a good faith dispute over all or any portion of the amount due on a progress payment from the Contracting Party or subconsultant to a subconsultant, the Contracting Party or subconsultant may withhold no more than 150 percent of the disputed amount. Any violation of this requirement shall constitute a cause for disciplinary action and shall subject the licensee to a penalty, payable to the subconsultant, of 2 percent of the amount due per month for every month that payment is not made.
13.8 Prompt Payment of Withheld Funds to Subconsultants. No retainage will be held by the City from progress payments due to the Contracting Party. The Contracting Party and subconsultants are prohibited from holding retainage from subconsultants. Any delay or postponement of payment may take place only for good cause and with the City’s prior written approval. Any violation of these provisions shall subject the violating Contracting Party or subconsultant to the penalties, sanctions, and other remedies specified in Section 3321 of the California Civil Code. This requirement shall not be construed to limit or impair any contractual, administrative, or judicial remedies, otherwise available to the Contracting Party or subconsultant in the event of a dispute involving late payment or nonpayment by the Contracting Party, deficient subconsultant performance and/or noncompliance by a subconsultant. This clause applies to both DBE and non-DBE subconsultants
13.9 Equipment Purchase. Prior authorization in writing by City Contract Officer shall be required before Contracting Party enters into any unbudgeted purchase order, or subcontract exceeding five thousand dollars ($5,000) for supplies, equipment, or services. Contracting Party shall provide an evaluation of the necessity or desirability of incurring such costs. For purchase of any item, service, or consulting work not covered in Schedule of Compensation and exceeding five thousand dollars ($5,000), with prior authorization by City Contract Officer, three competitive quotations must be 163 Click Here to Return to Agenda
-36-
submitted with the request, or the absence of proposal must be adequately justified. Any equipment purchased with funds provided under the terms of this Agreement is subject to the following:
Contracting Party shall maintain an inventory of all nonexpendable property.
Nonexpendable property is defined as having a useful life of at least two years and an acquisition cost of five thousand dollars ($5,000) or more. If the purchased equipment needs replacement and is sold or traded in, City shall receive a proper refund or credit at the conclusion of the Agreement, or if the Agreement is terminated as provided for in Section 8.0, Contracting Party may either keep the equipment and credit City in an amount equal to its fair market value, or sell such equipment at the best price obtainable at a public or private sale, in accordance with established City procedures; and credit City in an amount equal to the sales price. If Contracting Party elects to keep the equipment, fair market value shall be determined at Contracting Party’s expense, on the basis of a competent independent appraisal of such equipment. Appraisals shall be obtained from an appraiser mutually agreeable to by City and Contracting Party, if it is determined to sell the equipment, the terms and conditions of such sale must be approved in advance by City.

13.13 Funding Requirements.
