BACKGROUND
The City of Laguna Niguel is committed to providing a vibrant quality of life for all residents, businesses, and visitors in a safe, beautiful, and involved community. The City's network of streets spans 141 miles and includes a variety of publicly owned infrastructure including sidewalks, traffic signs, roadway markings, streetlights, bus stops, storm drains and culverts. To provide the community with an aesthetically pleasing, reliable, and comfortable driving and pedestrian experience, the City contracts street maintenance services to ensure the safety and orderly appearance of the City's roadways.
Contract services play a key role in the delivery of maintenance and special projects as they provide access to expert service that is efficient, responsive, and available as
needed. In support of City Council Goal 4 (Infrastructure and Technology) of the City's adopted Strategic Plan, the Public Works Department relies on maintenance contractors to maintain all City owned infrastructure.
At all times of day and night, on weekends and on holidays, the street maintenance contractor responds to routine service calls, provides emergency response in support of the Orange County Sheriff's Department or due to inclement weather, and performs preventative maintenance. Examples of the types of service are listed below. • Routine service includes the removal of debris and trip hazards on sidewalks and streets, pothole and large area asphalt repair, traffic sign maintenance and roadway striping, bus shelter cleaning, graffiti removal and the preparation for incoming storms by cleaning V-ditches, storm drains, and supporting the City's sandbag program. These types of routine services help the City mitigate the risks associated with deviations in the right-of-way. Preventative maintenance is planned by dividing the City into maintenance quadrants and assigning the street maintenance contractor to clean by quadrant.
• Special Event service includes the placement and removal of cones, barricades and other traffic control devices in support of the City's special events. These types of special event services help the City control vehicular and pedestrian traffic at City sponsored events.
• Emergency responses in support of the Orange County Sheriff's Department includes traffic control, supporting road closures, and on-scene traffic accident services to clear debris that may include hazardous materials. Emergency responses due to inclement weather includes hillside erosion control, flood control, replacing missing or damaged traffic signs, as well as fallen tree and powerline support.
ANALYSIS
In October 2022, staff published a Request for Proposals (RFP), shown in Attachment "A", to identify the most qualified contractors to provide citywide street maintenance services.
The maintenance services required in the RFP included the provision of skilled labor (with specialized training and certificates), tools, materials, and equipment to support the routine services, emergency responses, and preventative maintenance services needed to maintain the City's roadways. The RFP requested flat rates for labor and materials costs to provide an estimated quantity of street maintenance services. The City estimated the level of service based on street maintenance services provided in previous fiscal years. The flat rates were requested to develop a base bid for cost comparison purposes during the RFP evaluation process.
In response to the RFP, four proposals were received. The proposals were evaluated based on the following eight criteria: (1) Cost to the City; (2) Project Approach; (3) Completeness of the Proposal; (4) Project Controls; (5) Experience; (6) Quality of Goods; (7) Proposer's Financial Stability; and, (8) Emergency Response. The RFP Evaluation Summary is found in Attachment "B". A summary of the base bid amounts is shown in the table below.
Contractor Base Bid
MCE Corporation (Recommended) $2,518,209
Charles Abbott and Associates $4,283,709
TerraCare Associates $2,580,085
Gentry General Engineering $8,084,090
Pursuant to Laguna Niguel Municipal Code Section 3-6-9, maintenance contracts of an estimated expenditure of $50,000 or more must be awarded based on the responsiveness of the bids to the RFP, the qualifications and experience of the contractors, and the amount of the price or prices included in the bids. After a thorough review of the proposals received, and based on all relevant factors, staff believe MCE Corporation represents the best overall value to provide street maintenance services.
The results of the REP process confirmed that MCE Corporation's pricing is at or below fair market rates. Over the past five years, MCE Corporation has provided the City with exceptional street maintenance services and professionalism. MCE Corporation has received many accolades and letters of gratitude from the City's residents. In addition, MCE has institutional knowledge of the City and understands how to deliver the level of street maintenance services required by the City. As the City's street maintenance service contractor for the past five years, MCE has worked closely with staff to value engineer the contract and reduce the cost for street maintenance service.
One of the most important items requested in the RFP is the 24 hour a day, 7 days a week emergency response to natural disasters and accidents. Response to emergency situations that can have an adverse effect on public safety, public health, and quality of life is a critical function of the street maintenance contractor. In this regard, MCE has been an exemplary partner of the City and the Orange County Sheriff's Department. MCE is the City's rapid deployment team to respond to any emergency. They have certified HazMat responders on staff that are required to clean after vehicle accidents, spills, and fires. With a dedicated maintenance crew who live in the region, MCE's emergency response time has met or exceeded the requirements in the contract.
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the Maintenance Services Agreement with MCE Corporation in the not-to-exceed amount of $2,518,209 per year for Fiscal Years 2023-24 through 2025-26, subject to extension administratively for two additional one-year periods. In addition, the Agreement will include a not-to-exceed 10% contingency of the total contract in the amount of $251,821 per year for additional work
for a total not-to-exceed amount of $2,770,030 per year. The Maintenance Services Agreement with MCE Corporation can be found in Attachment "C".
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
1. The City Council may direct staff to reject all proposals and rebid the RFP for Streets Maintenance Services. Staff believes that re-advertising and rebidding will not result in more desirable quotes. Comparable proposals were either far more costly than MCE Corporation or the company lacks local presence to serve the City's needs. This alternative is not recommended because the existing streets maintenance services agreement expires on June 30, 2023.
2. The City Council may decide not to approve the Maintenance Services Agreement with MCE Corporation. This will eliminate the City's workforce to respond to routine service calls (removal of debris and trip hazards, pothole repair, storm preparation), preventative maintenance (to reduce the number of claims from sidewalk and roadway issues and preserve infrastructure) and provide emergency response in support of the Orange County Sheriff's Department or due to inclement weather.
FISCAL REVIEW
The proposed Fiscal Year 2023-24 Public Works Department budget includes $1,825,830 in the General Fund and $944,200 in Gas Tax for a total budget of $2,770,030 to fund this contract and the contingency.
LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney's Office has reviewed the Maintenance Services Agreement and has approved it as to form.
CONCLUSION
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1. Approve the Maintenance Services Agreement for Citywide Streets Maintenance Services with MCE Corporation in the not-to-exceed amount of $2,518,209 per year for Fiscal Years 2023-24 through 2025-26, subject to extension administratively for two additional one-year periods;
2. Approve a 10% contingency of the total contract in the amount of $251,821 for unforeseen conditions or extra work and authorize the Public Works Director/City Engineer to approve additional work for a total not-to-exceed amount of $2,770,030 per year, if needed; and,
3. Authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement and future amendments to the Maintenance Services Agreement with MCE Corporation, subject to the City Attorney making non-substantive changes.

Enforcement of contract provisions (non estoppel). Contractor acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of the City to inform Contractor of noncompliance with any requirement imposes no additional obligations on the City nor does it waive any rights hereunder.
Requirements not limiting. Requirements of specific coverage features, or limits contained in this Section are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits or other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any insurance. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not intended by any party or insured to be all inclusive, or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a waiver of any type. If the Contractor maintains higher limits than the minimums shown above, the City requires and shall be entitled to coverage for the higher limits maintained by the Contractor. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the City.
K. Notice of cancellation. Contractor agrees to oblige its insurance agent or broker and insurers to provide to City with a thirty (30) day notice of cancellation (except for nonpayment for which a ten (10) day notice is required) or nonrenewal of coverage for each required coverage.
L. Additional insured status. General liability policies shall provide or be endorsed to provide that the City and its officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers shall be additional insureds under such policies. This provision shall also apply to any excess/umbrella liability policies.
M. Prohibition of undisclosed coverage limitations. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been first submitted to City and approved of in writing.
N. Separation of Insureds. A severability of interests provision must apply for all additional insureds ensuring that Contractor's insurance shall apply separately to each insured against whom claim is made or suit is brought, except with respect to the insurer's limits of liability. The policy(ies) shall not contain any cross-liability exclusions.
Error! Unknown document property name.
April 2021 Version
O. Pass Through Clause. Contractor agrees to ensure that its subcontractor (s) and any other party involved with the project who is brought onto or involved in the project by Contractor, provide the same minimum insurance coverage and endorsements required of Contractor. Contractor agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section. Contractor agrees that upon request, all agreements with consultants, subconsultant, and others engaged in the project will be submitted to City for review.
P. City's right to revise specifications. The City reserves the right at any time during the term of the contract to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the Contractor ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to the Contractor, the City and Contractor may renegotiate Contractor's compensation.

SCOPE OF SERVICES
A-1
MCE
QUALITY CONTROL PLAN
MCE has and will continue to strive to complete projects within a timely manner. This will include the following steps.
• Determine the expected or preferred due date on specific work orders received, or if not a formal work order, then ask person requesting work when it needs to be complete. This will give MCE the needed information to properly schedule the work. If it an urgent request, then MCE will do everything it can to meet the requested time frame.
• Nearly every request for work done in the field is reviewed by the Supervisor or Foreman. Both are experienced in providing service to Laguna Niguel and understand the need to get things right the first time.
However, problems or mistakes or errors will happen. Our process for correcting any problems are as follows.
• Own it.If it our mistake, admit it. No one is perfect and mistakes will occur. What is most important is what happens next
• Fix the problem as soon as possible. Communicate back to the City person that initiated the request of the plan to fix it and when.
• Notify that same person when it is completed.
• Use that same error or mistake as a teaching moment with the entire crew so everyone is aware and the mistake is not repeated.
MCE is aware of the entire scope of the project. We have been performing every component of the scope of work for the the City of Laguna Niguel for the past 4.5 years.
In addition to that, MCE has been performing similar work for other municipalities for nearly 40 years and currently holds several street maintenance contracts in California.
While MCE hopes that there will never be a complaint from the public or damage as a result of an MCE operation, a mistake will occur at some point. Fortunately, complaints have been rare in our 4.5 years in Laguna Niguel. Complaints will be handled in much the same way problems or errors will be handled.
• Investigate the complaint.
• Own the mistake or complaint.
• Rectify the complaint or damage as quickly as possible. • Notify the person that the damage has been repaired
• Use that moment as a teaching tool for the entire crew.
MCE has brought reliability, promptness and a partnering attitude to our relationship with the Public Works Administration. We believe it to a solid working environment for both parties. However, improvement can always be made. If awarded the next contract MCE would assist the city in quantifying the work and measuring accomplishments. This would incude the following;
• Provide, at no cost to the City, a comprehensive inventory of all striping and marking, as shown in the daily work sheets by Orange County Striping. This would be in an excel spreadsheet showing quantity and type of striping or marking by street and in total. This would help the city better manage striping and marking efforts. MCE would commit, if awarded, to do this before the end of the current fiscal year.
• With the partnership that MCE has with Salesforce, MCE is able to manage our data in many different ways. MCE has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in the last two years developing a dynamic and useful tool for our clients which we are now ready to use. MCE could provide baseline annual quantities of work performed. This is valuable in developing better and more realistic budgets and educating decision makers and the public on what the Public Works Administration is accomplishing.
Our methodology to provide a better and more efficent delivery of service is to expand what we are doing while continuing to provide quality serivce. MCE believes our service to be efficient, however improvement can always be made. Some of these include. • Creation of a foreman position. This is done to help provide even more oversight while retaining a valuable asset in our current leadman, Alex Nambo. • Provide additional outside asphalt and concrete training to our Supervisor and Foreman.
• Geo tracking of work. Our Salesforce system is capable of this and it may be beneficial to the City to plot certain work on a GIS system. • Continue to utilize our 12 other cities for innovations or improved work methods that can be implemented in Laguna Niguel. MCE has two roundtables per year in which we bring all of our Supervisors together to discuss issues and successes in their projects for the entire group. In addition, The three Area Managers meet monthly and bring useful information back to their cities. Sharing information among our more than 140 employees engaged in public works maintenacne is one of our greatest tools and assets.
