In the event that Contractor or any employee, agent, or subcontractor of Contractor providing services under this Agreement claims or is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or the California Public Employees Retirement System (PERS) to be eligible for enrollment in PERS as an employee of the City, Contractor shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless City for the payment of any employee and/or employer contributions for PERS benefits on behalf of Contractor or its employees, agents, or subcontractors, as well as for the payment of any penalties and interest on such contributions, which would otherwise be the responsibility of City.
11. Interests of Contractor. Contractor (including principals, associates and management employees) covenants and represents that it does not now have any investment or interest in real property and shall not acquire any interest, direct or indirect, in the area covered by this Agreement or any other source of income, interest in real property or investment which would be affected in any manner or degree by the performance of Contractor's services hereunder. Contractor further covenants and represents that in the performance of its duties hereunder no person having any such interest shall perform any services under this Agreement.
Contractor is not a designated employee within the meaning of the Political Reform Act because Contractor:
a. will conduct research and arrive at conclusions with respect to his/her rendition of information , advice, recommendation or counsel independent of the control and direction of the City or of any City official, other than normal agreement monitoring ; and b. possesses no authority with respect to any City decision beyond rendition of information, advice, recommendation or counsel. (FPPC Reg. 18700(a) (2).)
12. Ability of Contractor . City has relied upon the training and ability of Contractor to perform the services hereunder as a material inducement to enter into this Agreement.

15. Indemnity . Contractor shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the City and its officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers from and against any and all losses, liability, claims , suits, actions, damages, and causes of action arising out of any personal injury, bodily injury, loss of life, or damage to property, or any violation of any federal, state, or municipal law or ordinance, to the extent caused, in whole or in part, by the willful misconduct or negligent acts or omissions of Contractor or its employees, subcontractors, or agents, by acts for which they could be held strictly liable, or by the quality or character of their work. The foregoing obligation of Contractor shall not apply when (1) the injury, loss of life, damage to property, or violation of law arises from the sole negligence or willful misconduct of the City or its officers, employees, agents, or volunteers and (2) the actions of Contractor or its employees, subcontractor, or agents have contributed in no part to the injury, loss of life, damage to property, or violation of law. It is understood that the duty of Contractor to indemnify and hold harmless includes the duty to defend as set forth in Section 2778 of the California Civil Code. Acceptance by City of insurance certificates and endorsements required under this Agreement does not relieve Contractor from liability under this indemnification and hold harmless clause. This indemnification and hold harmless clause shall apply to any damages or claims for damages whether or not such insurance policies shall have been determined to apply.

Alta soil technicians regularly conduct evaluations of excavations, earth materials to be used as fill, and compaction procedures to ensure that project specifications are being followed. In‐place testing of compaction and moisture conditioning are performed in accordance with ASTM D1556 and/or ASTM D 2922‐01 in order to ensure project specifications are being followed. Alta technicians are also experienced in testing, sampling and inspecting construction materials such as concrete, asphalt and slurry.
Samples of materials being used throughout trench backfill, grading and roadway operations will be transported to the laboratory for testing to determine the engineering characteristics of the material. Testing of these materials may include: maximum density and optimum moisture (ASTM D1557 Methods A, B and C), grain size analysis (ASTM D422), Atterberg Limits (ASTM D4318‐D84 or CT204), sand equivalent (ASTM D2419 or CT217), asphalt maximum density (CT304), slurry abrasion number (ASTM G75‐15) and other related testing per Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction, County of Riverside, or Caltrans project specifications.

III. SCOPE OF WORK
General Scope of Work and Information
• Evaluation of excavation: Vendor will inspect and evaluate the excavation of trenches to ensure that the excavations for the proposed sewer improvements and pavement sections have exposed competent material at the bottoms for the placement of the piping following the placement of the approved bedding material. If excavations result in exposure of saturated, incompetent material at the bottom, proper remediation measures must be recommended. The sides of the excavation must be inspected for any seeping water. The nearby structures must be closely observed to ensure that there are no adverse impacts from deep excavations.
• Evaluation of earth material to be used as backfill: Vendor must collect samples of the proposed back fill material and deliver them to the materials laboratory. Appropriate testing will be performed to determine the appropriate placement method for the backfill material and if the backfill material meets project specifications.
• Evaluation of compaction procedures: Vendor must evaluate the compaction procedure for the backfill of trench excavations to ensure that the project specifications have been followed (appropriate thickness of lift, proper compaction method, etc.). Similar evaluations must be performed for the subgrade and street pavement sections.
• Testing of compaction, moisture content, etc.: Vendor must conduct compaction tests by Sand Cone Test Method (ASTM D1556) and/or Nuclear Method (ASTM D 2922-01) to determine the relative compaction of the backfill material. At least one (1) compaction test will be conducted every 100 lineal feet of trench and at 6-inch to 8-inch average intervals in backfill. Sufficient testing must be performed within the subgrade of the pavement section, as well as in the AB to verify compliance related to the relative compaction requirements contained in the project specifications. The density of the AC (as well as the temperature) will be checked at the time of its placement during the construction of pavement sections.

Testing time and the associated fees can be minimized by proficient and timely work by the Contractor and by coordination among the Project Superintendent, the City Inspector, and Vendor’s engineers/technicians. When a larger number of tests are scheduled at a time, greater efficiency can be achieved, resulting in lower overall fees. However, the testing and inspection duration is dependent on the progress of work by the Contractor. The inspections, observations, and testing must be provided after the pre-grade meeting and the commencement of construction activities, and must continue until all components associated with the project have been achieved in accordance with the project specifications.
Vendor must be present at the site when the geotechnical observations, inspections, and testing are required, and must spend an appropriate amount of time in the field commensurate with the testing requirements.
• Slurry Abrasion Testing:
Vendor must inspect the placement of slurry for pavement sections to ensure that construction is proceeding according to design. The inspector will observe surfaces where slurry is to be placed, depositing, the lay-down operation, field-density, and all other properties of slurry per standards/specifications. Vendor must obtain representative wet samples for laboratory abrasion analysis.
During the progress of the work, Vendor must prepare daily field reports. A copy of these reports will be submitted to the Inspector representing the City on a daily basis. The report will include a written summary of the day's activities, a summary of all field-testing performed, and a listing of any outstanding failing tests which have not been reworked/retested.
This test method covers a single laboratory procedure that can be used to develop data from which either the relative abrasivity of any slurry (Miller Number) or the response of different materials to the abrasivity of different slurries (SAR Number), can be determined.
Laboratory Testing: The following testing must be conducted in Vendor’s materials laboratory to determine the engineering characteristics of the subgrade soils, AB, AC, Slurry and PCC: Modified Proctor Testing to Determine Maximum Dry Density/Optimum Moisture Content:

10. PERS Eligibility Indemnification . In the event that Contractor or any employee, agent, or subcontractor of Contractor providing services under this Agreement claims or is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or the California Public Employees Retirement System (PERS) to be eligible for enrollment in PERS as an employee of the City, Contractor shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless City for the payment of any employee and/or employer contributions for PERS benefits on behalf of Contractor or its employees, agents, or subcontractors, as well as for the payment of any penalties and interest on such contributions, which would otherwise be the responsibility of City.
11. Interests of Contractor. Contractor (including principals, associates and management employees) covenants and represents that it does not now have any investment or interest in real property and shall not acquire any interest, direct or indirect, in the area covered by this Agreement or any other source of income, interest in real property or investment which would be affected in any manner or degree by the performance of Contractor's services hereunder. Contractor further covenants and represents that in the performance of its duties hereunder no person having any such interest shall perform any services under this Agreement.
Contractor is not a designated employee within the meaning of the Political Reform Act because Contractor:
a. will conduct research and arrive at conclusions with respect to his/her rendition of information , advice, recommendation or counsel independent of the control and direction of the City or of any City official, other than normal agreement monitoring ; and b. possesses no authority with respect to any City decision beyond rendition of information, advice, recommendation or counsel. (FPPC Reg. 18700(a) (2).)
12. Ability of Contractor . City has relied upon the training and ability of Contractor to perform the services hereunder as a material inducement to enter into this Agreement. Contractor shall therefore provide properly skilled personnel to perform all services under this Agreement. All work performed by Contractor under this Agreement shall be in accordance with applicable legal requirements and shall meet the standard of quality ordinarily to be expected of competent contractors in Contractor 's field of expertise .
13. Compliance with Laws.
a. Contractor shall comply with all local, state and federal laws and regulations applicable to the services required hereunder, including any rule, regulation or bylaw governing the conduct or performance of Contractor and/or its employees, officers, or board members. b.

14. Licenses .

Contractor represents and warrants to City that Contractor shall, at its sole cost and expense, keep in effect or obtain at all times during the term of this Agreement, any licenses, permits, insurance and approvals which are legally required of Contractor to practice its profession.
Contractor shall maintain a City of Lake Elsinore business license .
15. Indemnity . Contractor shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the City and its officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers from and against any and all losses, liability, claims , suits, actions, damages, and causes of action arising out of any personal injury, bodily injury, loss of life, or damage to property, or any violation of any federal, state, or municipal law or ordinance, to the extent caused, in whole or in part, by the willful misconduct or negligent acts or omissions of Contractor or its employees, subcontractors, or agents, by acts for which they could be held strictly liable, or by the quality or character of their work. The foregoing obligation of Contractor shall not apply when (1) the injury, loss of life, damage to property, or violation of law arises from the sole negligence or willful misconduct of the City or its officers, employees, agents, or volunteers and (2) the actions of Contractor or its employees, subcontractor, or agents have contributed in no part to the injury, loss of life, damage to property, or violation of law. It is understood that the duty of Contractor to indemnify and hold harmless includes the duty to defend as set forth in Section 2778 of the California Civil Code. Acceptance by City of insurance certificates and endorsements required under this Agreement does not relieve Contractor from liability under this indemnification and hold harmless clause. This indemnification and hold harmless clause shall apply to any damages or claims for damages whether or not such insurance policies shall have been determined to apply. By execution of this Agreement , Contractor acknowledges and agrees to the provisions of this Section and that it is a material element of consideration.

UNDERSTANDING OF PROJECT
LOR has been in business for over 34 years and has provided services similar to those presented in the RFQ for dozens of municipalities located throughout southern California, on hundreds of different projects. Our team is familiar with the many considerations that are involved with different types of public improvements projects. All staff members that will be assigned to provide the proposed services have been employed with LOR for a minimum of 15 years. Our very low turn over rate allows us to leverage our experience in planning, design, and field operations in order to achieve the City’s project objectives.
We understand that although these types of projects might be similar to projects that we have served on in the past, each project has its own distinct requirements. Prior to the start of construction we begin to familiarize ourselves with the project by conducting a thorough review of the project documentation. If requested by the City, we can provide a proposal for each project that we are called to service during the on-call services agreement. Our proposals typically include a detailed scope of services that’s based on our review and understanding of the project documentation. Our proposals also include a cost estimate that typically reflects the services that we have anticipated over the project duration.
Prior to the start of construction our engineering staff is available to attend pre-construction meetings to discuss the geotechnical and materials testing aspects of the project. Our engineering staff often provides materials submittal review to help verify that the materials that have been proposed for use on the project meet the requirements specified by the project documentation. These pre-construction processes help ensure that project expectations are ultimately delivered.
Each member of our team understands the many considerations that are involved during construction of a public improvements project, including the budget considerations. Our project management team will work closely with our field technicians and your construction management team to ensure that our services are being provided as needed, and that the relevant laboratory testing is being assigned and completed. Every step of the way, we will work closely with the city of Lake Elsinore to ensure that the project quality goals are being met, within the allocated budget.
APPROACH TO SCOPE OF WORK
When our office is contacted to serve under the terms of an on-call services agreement, our dispatch personnel will assign a qualified representative to perform the requested 2 LOR GEOTECHNICAL GROUP, INC.
City of Lake Elsinore, Engineering Division Reference No. 7079.P December 15, 2022
services. If additional technical support is required, our geologists and technicians have a direct line of communication to our principal engineer to discuss the details related to our projects. Additionally, our project managers maintain direct lines of communication with our field staff and our clients to help ensure projects run smoothly.
Prior to the start of construction our project management team will have reviewed the construction drawings, technical provisions, and contract information to have a full understanding of the project, as well as our firm’s role as a consultant and provider of geotechnical engineering services. Our engineering staff is available prior to, and during construction, to attend construction meetings and to provide material submittal review if requested by the city of Lake Elsinore.
Prior to arriving onsite to the project, our technician’s will have a thorough understanding of their role in the proposed construction. This includes the compaction testing frequency, minimum relative compaction specifications, sampling frequency, and materials specifications.
All of our field personnel have a company owned vehicle with a company logo displayed.
In addition to providing a vehicle, we also provide our personnel with all of the equipment necessary to perform the requested services. LOR ensures that our field personnel have the most up-to-date tools, maintained in good working order, and calibrated as required.
At the start of construction, this firm should obtain native soil samples during the contractor’s pot holing operation for utility trench backfill projects, or during the demolition phase of a roadway improvement project. We prefer to obtain our initial soil samples as early as practically possible to help ensure that our field personnel are able to provide timely compaction test and quality compliance results to your construction inspection team.
Our technicians have been trained to provide soil classification during sampling of onsite and imported soil materials.
All of our field technicians have extensive experience with providing geotechnical observation and compaction testing during grading, various types of underground utility trench backfills, a wide range of roadway rehabilitation methods, and asphalt paving. Our field technicians have all been certified by the Caltrans district engineer to perform materials sampling and compaction testing procedures. Our technicians understand the capabilities of all the commonly used compaction equipment and earthwork methodologies.
They are able to interpret the compaction test data, and concisely communicate their measurements to the construction inspector and to the contractor performing the work. 3 LOR GEOTECHNICAL GROUP, INC.

Construction Agreement for Roof Replacement
The City received three proposals for repairs and roof replacement at Fire Station #85, Fire Station #94, Neighborhood Center, and Rosetta Canyon Sports Park. The amounts of each proposal are listed below:
Name of Company Amount
Don Luginbill Roofing Inc. $721,037.00
McDonnell Roofing Inc. $782,869.50
Shell Roofing Solutions $834,175.00
Don Luginbill Roofing Inc. has been competitively bid and priced on TIPS (The Interlocal Purchasing System), Contract Number# 210205, with an expiration date of 4/30/2024. TIPS is a National Cooperative Purchasing Program for member schools, colleges, universities, cities, counties, and other government entities in all 50 states as authorized by each entity's jurisdictional legal requirements. Region 8 Education Service Center, located in Pittsburg, Texas, is the lead government agency for the cooperative. The primary procurement statute for the lead agency is Chapter 44.031 of the Texas Education Code.
Waive of Competitive Bidding Procedures
Under Section 3.08.070(G) of the Lake Elsinore Municipal Code, the City Council can waive the competitive bidding requirement that would otherwise be utilized for this purchase. In addition to the benefits outlined above, repairs and roof replacements satisfy the City's requirements compared to competitors with significant shortfalls in specifications and operating levels essential to the City's needs. These benefits and characteristics suited to the City's specific needs support the finding that waiving the competitive bidding requirement for this purchase is in the City's best interest. Therefore, staff recommends that the City Council waive the competitive bidding according to Municipal Code Section 3.08.070(G) and allow the City Manager to purchase the repairs and roof replacement as outlined in this agenda report.
Following the approval of this agenda item, staff will execute an Agreement for the entire proposal and schedule the Roof Replacements at Fire Station #85, Fire Station #94, Neighborhood Center, and Rosetta Canyon Sports Park.
Fiscal Impact
Funds are available in the City's Fiscal Year 22/23 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP Project #Z20005).

3 4
3 Documents.
c. Contractor agrees to receive and accept the prices set forth in the Bidder’s Proposal as full compensation for furnishing all materials, performing all work, and fulfilling all obligations hereunder. Such compensation shall cover all expenses, losses, damages, and consequences arising out of the nature of work during its progress or prior to its acceptance including those for well and faithfully completing the work and the whole thereof in the manner and time specified in the Project Documents; and also including those arising from actions of the elements, unforeseen difficulties or obstructions encountered in the prosecution of the work, suspension or discontinuance of the work, and all other unknowns or risks of any description connected with the work.
3. Completion of Work.
a. Contractor shall perform and complete all work within 30 working days per working location from the date of commencement specified in the Notice to Proceed, and shall provide, furnish and pay for all the labor, materials, necessary tools, expendable equipment, and all taxes, utility and transportation services required for construction of the Project. b. All work shall be performed and completed in a good workmanlike manner in strict accordance with the drawings, specifications and all provisions of this Agreement as hereinabove defined and in accordance with applicable laws, codes, regulations, ordinances and any other legal requirements governing the Project.
c. Contractor shall not be excused with respect to the failure to so comply by any act or omission of the City, the City Engineer, a City inspector, or a representative of any of them, unless such act or omission actually prevents the Contractor from fully complying with the requirements of the Project Documents, and unless the Contractor protests at the time of such alleged prevention that the act or omission is preventing the Contractor from fully complying with the Project Documents. Such protest shall not be effective unless reduced to writing and filed with the City within three (3) working days of the date of occurrence of the act or omission preventing the Contractor from fully complying with the Project Documents. d. City and Contractor recognize that time is of the essence in the performance of this Agreement and further agree that if the work called for under the Agreement is not completed within the time hereinabove specified, damages will be sustained by the City and that, it is and will be impracticable or extremely difficult to ascertain and determine the actual amount of damages the City will sustain in the event of, and by reason of, such delay. It is, therefore, agreed that such damages shall be presumed to be in the amount of Click or tap here to enter text. per calendar day, and that the Contractor will pay to the City, or City may retain from amounts otherwise payable to Contractor, such amount for each calendar day by which the Contractor fails to complete the work, including corrective items of work, under this Agreement within the time hereinabove specified and as adjusted by any changes to the work.
4. Changes to Work. City and Contractor agree that the City may make changes to the work, or suspend the work, and no matter how many changes, such changes or suspensions are within the contemplation of the Contractor and City and will not be a basis for a compensable delay claim against the City nor be the basis for a liquidated damage claim against the Contractor.
Any change to the work shall be by way of a written instrument (“change order”) signed by the City and the Contractor, stating their agreement to the following:
a. The scope of the change in the work;
2 6
3 4
3 b. The amount of the adjustment to the contract price; and c. The extent of the adjustment to the Schedule of Performance.
The City Engineer is authorized to sign any change order provided that sufficient contingency funds are available in the City’s approved budget for the Project. All change in the work authorized by the change order shall be performed under the applicable conditions of the Project Documents. City and Contractor shall negotiate in good faith and as expeditiously as possible the appropriate adjustments for such changes.
5. Bonds. Contractor shall provide, before commencing work, a Faithful Performance Bond and a Labor and Material Bond, each for one-hundred percent (100%) of the contract price in the form that complies with the Project Documents and is satisfactory to the City Attorney.
6. Non-Assignability. Neither this Agreement nor any rights, title, interest, duties or obligations under this Agreement may be assigned, transferred, conveyed or otherwise disposed of by Contractor without the prior written consent of City.
7. Licenses. Contractor represents and warrants to City that it holds the contractor’s license or licenses set forth in the Project Documents, is registered with the Department of Industrial Relations pursuant to Labor Code Section 1725.5, and holds such other licenses, permits, qualifications, insurance and approvals of whatsoever nature which are legally required of Contractor. Contractor represents and warrants to City that Contractor shall, at its sole cost and expense, keep in effect or obtain at all times during the term of this Agreement, any licenses, permits, insurance and approvals which are legally required of Contractor to practice its profession. Contractor shall maintain a City of Lake Elsinore business license.
8. Indemnity. Contractor shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the City and its officials, officers, employees, agents, the County and Board Supervisors, and volunteers from and against any and all losses, liability, claims, suits, actions, damages, and causes of action arising out of any personal injury, bodily injury, loss of life, or damage to property, or any violation of any federal, state, or municipal law or ordinance, to the extent caused, in whole or in part, by the willful misconduct or negligent acts or omissions of Contractor or its employees, subcontractors, or agents, by acts for which they could be held strictly liable, or by the quality or character of their work. The foregoing obligation of Contractor shall not apply when (1) the injury, loss of life, damage to property, or violation of law arises from the sole negligence or willful misconduct of the City or its officers, employees, agents, or volunteers and (2) the actions of Contractor or its employees, subcontractor, or agents have contributed in no part to the injury, loss of life, damage to property, or violation of law. It is understood that the duty of Contractor to indemnify and hold harmless includes the duty to defend as set forth in Section 2778 of the California Civil Code. Acceptance by City of insurance certificates and endorsements required under this Agreement does not relieve Contractor from liability under this indemnification and hold harmless clause. This indemnification and hold harmless clause shall apply to any damages or claims for damages whether or not such insurance policies shall have been determined to apply. By execution of this Agreement, Contractor acknowledges and agrees to the provisions of this Section and that it is a material element of consideration.

REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL
To: Honorable Mayor or Members of the City Council
From: Jason Simpson, City Manager
Prepared by: Rick DeSantiago, Public Works Manager
Date: February 14, 2023
Subject: Construction Agreement with Owen James Construction Inc. for Roof & Window Replacement at the Senior Center (CIP Project #Z20005) Recommendation
1. Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute a Construction Agreement with Owen James Construction Inc. for Roof & Window Replacement at Senior Center in an amount not to exceed $275,500.00 in such final form as approved by the City Attorney; and
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute change orders not to exceed a 10% contingency amount of $27,550.00 for uncertainties and adjustments.
Background
In November of 2022, staff initiated a proposal from The Interlocal Purchasing System, better known as TIPS Purchasing Cooperative, which assists in achieving the best value for the participating public entities through cooperative purchasing.
It was determined that the existing roof and windows at Senior Center need a significant amount of work ranging from:
•Shingles have met their lifespan, fiberglass exposed, bridging, and frail. •Membrane surface deterioration affects the strength and watertight integrity of the roofing system, which affects the strength and watertight integrity of the roofing system. •Caulking/sealant is considered a maintenance item. When sealant deteriorates, it will allow water to enter the building or other structural components. •Improperly installed or maintained or defective gutters can let water infiltrate the roof system and cause damage to the exterior of the building. •Retrofit windows.
Roof & Window Replacement at the Senior Center

•Frame in new windows
•Install new windows, set in caulking, and caulk the outside of the window frame •Repair stucco, paint, and drywall at windows as necessary Owen James Construction Inc. has been competitively bid and priced on TIPS (The Interlocal Purchasing System), Contract Number# 210205, with an expiration date of 4/30/2024. TIPS is a National Cooperative Purchasing Program for member schools, colleges, universities, cities, counties, and other government entities in all 50 states as authorized by each entity's jurisdictional legal requirements. Region 8 Education Service Center, located in Pittsburg, Texas, is the lead government agency for the cooperative. The primary procurement statute for the lead agency is Chapter 44.031 of the Texas Education Code.
Waive of Competitive Bidding Procedures
Under Section 3.08.070(G) of the Municipal Code, the City Council can waive the competitive bidding requirement that would otherwise be utilized for this purchase. In addition to the benefits outlined above, repairs and roof replacements satisfy the City's requirements compared to competitors with significant shortfalls in specifications and operating levels essential to the City's needs. These benefits and characteristics suited to the City's specific needs support the finding that waiving the competitive bidding requirement for this purchase is in the City's best interest.
Therefore, staff recommends that the City Council waive the competitive bidding according to Municipal Code Section 3.08.070(G) and allow the City Manager to purchase the repairs and roof replacement as outlined in this agenda report.
Following the approval of this agenda item, staff will execute an Agreement for the entire proposal and schedule the Roof/Window Replacements at Senior Center.
Fiscal Impact
Funds are available in the City's Fiscal Year 22/23 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP Project #Z20005).

c. Contractor agrees to receive and accept the prices set forth in the Bidder’s Proposal as full compensation for furnishing all materials, performing all work, and fulfilling all obligations hereunder. Such compensation shall cover all expenses, losses, damages, and consequences arising out of the nature of work during its progress or prior to its acceptance including those for well and faithfully completing the work and the whole thereof in the manner and time specified in the Project Documents; and also including those arising from actions of the elements, unforeseen difficulties or obstructions encountered in the prosecution of the work, suspension or discontinuance of the work, and all other unknowns or risks of any description connected with the work.
3. Completion of Work.
a. Contractor shall perform and complete all work within Fifty (50) working days from the date of commencement specified in the Notice to Proceed, and shall provide, furnish and pay for all the labor, materials, necessary tools, expendable equipment, and all taxes, utility and transportation services required for construction of the Project. b. All work shall be performed and completed in a good workmanlike manner in strict accordance with the drawings, specifications and all provisions of this Agreement as hereinabove defined and in accordance with applicable laws, codes, regulations, ordinances and any other legal requirements governing the Project.
c. Contractor shall not be excused with respect to the failure to so comply by any act or omission of the City, the City Engineer, a City inspector, or a representative of any of them, unless such act or omission actually prevents the Contractor from fully complying with the requirements of the Project Documents, and unless the Contractor protests at the time of such alleged prevention that the act or omission is preventing the Contractor from fully complying with the Project Documents. Such protest shall not be effective unless reduced to writing and filed with the City within three (3) working days of the date of occurrence of the act or omission preventing the Contractor from fully complying with the Project Documents. d. City and Contractor recognize that time is of the essence in the performance of this Agreement and further agree that if the work called for under the Agreement is not completed within the time hereinabove specified, damages will be sustained by the City and that, it is and will be impracticable or extremely difficult to ascertain and determine the actual amount of damages the City will sustain in the event of, and by reason of, such delay. It is, therefore, agreed that such damages shall be presumed to be in the amount of 1,000 per calendar day, and that the Contractor will pay to the City, or City may retain from amounts otherwise payable to Contractor, such amount for each calendar day by which the Contractor fails to complete the work, including corrective items of work, under this Agreement within the time hereinabove specified and as adjusted by any changes to the work. 3 4. Changes to Work. City and Contractor agree that the City may make changes to the work, or suspend the work, and no matter how many changes, such changes or suspensions are within the contemplation of the Contractor and City and will not be a basis for a compensable delay claim against the City nor be the basis for a liquidated damage claim against the Contractor.
Any change to the work shall be by way of a written instrument (“change order”) signed by the City and the Contractor, stating their agreement to the following:
a. The scope of the change in the work;
b. The amount of the adjustment to the contract price; and c. The extent of the adjustment to the Schedule of Performance.
The City Engineer is authorized to sign any change order provided that sufficient contingency funds are available in the City’s approved budget for the Project. All change in the work authorized by the change order shall be performed under the applicable conditions of the Project Documents. City and Contractor shall negotiate in good faith and as expeditiously as possible the appropriate adjustments for such changes.
5. Bonds. Contractor shall provide, before commencing work, a Faithful Performance Bond and a Labor and Material Bond, each for one-hundred percent (100%) of the contract price in the form that complies with the Project Documents and is satisfactory to the City Attorney.
6. Non-Assignability. Neither this Agreement nor any rights, title, interest, duties or obligations under this Agreement may be assigned, transferred, conveyed or otherwise disposed of by Contractor without the prior written consent of City.
7. Licenses. Contractor represents and warrants to City that it holds the contractor’s license or licenses set forth in the Project Documents, is registered with the Department of Industrial Relations pursuant to Labor Code Section 1725.5, and holds such other licenses, permits, qualifications, insurance and approvals of whatsoever nature which are legally required of Contractor.

8. Indemnity. Contractor shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the City and its officials, officers, employees, agents, the County and Board Supervisors, and volunteers from and against any and all losses, liability, claims, suits, actions, damages, and causes of action arising out of any personal injury, bodily injury, loss of life, or damage to property, or any violation of any federal, state, or municipal law or ordinance, to the extent caused, in whole or in part, by the willful misconduct or negligent acts or omissions of Contractor or its employees, subcontractors, or agents, by acts for which they could be held strictly liable, or by the quality or character of their work. The foregoing obligation of Contractor shall not apply when (1) the injury, loss of life, damage to property, or violation of law arises from the sole negligence or willful misconduct of the City or its officers, employees, agents, or volunteers and (2) the actions of Contractor or its employees, subcontractor, or agents have contributed in no part to the injury, loss of life, damage to
4 property, or violation of law. It is understood that the duty of Contractor to indemnify and hold harmless includes the duty to defend as set forth in Section 2778 of the California Civil Code.
Acceptance by City of insurance certificates and endorsements required under this Agreement does not relieve Contractor from liability under this indemnification and hold harmless clause.
This indemnification and hold harmless clause shall apply to any damages or claims for damages whether or not such insurance policies shall have been determined to apply. By execution of this Agreement, Contractor acknowledges and agrees to the provisions of this Section and that it is a material element of consideration.

22. Prevailing Wages.
a. Contractor and all subcontractors shall adhere to the general prevailing rate of per diem wages as determined and as published by the State Director of the Department of Industrial Relations pursuant to Labor Code Sections 1770, 1773, and 1773.2. Copies of these rates and the latest revisions thereto are on file in the office of the City Clerk of the City of Lake Elsinore and are available for review upon request. 8 b. Contractor's attention is directed to the provisions of Labor Code Sections 1774, 1775, 1776, 1777.5 and 1777.6. Contractor shall comply with the provisions of these Sections. The statutory provisions for penalties for failure to comply with the State's wage and the hours laws will be enforced.
c. Labor Code Sections 1774 and 1775 require the Contractor and all subcontractors to pay not less than the prevailing wage rates to all workmen employed in the execution of the contract and specify forfeitures and penalties for failure to do so. The minimum wages to be paid are those determined by the State Director of the Department of Industrial Relations. Labor Code Section 1776 requires the Contractor and all subcontractors to keep accurate payroll records, specifies the contents thereof, their inspection and duplication procedures and certain notices required of the Contractor pertaining to their location. The statutory penalties for failure to pay prevailing wages will be enforced. If the Project has been awarded to Contractor on or after April 1, 2015, Contractor and its subcontractors must furnish electronic certified payroll records to the Labor Commissioner. Beginning January 1, 2016, Contractor and its subcontractors must furnish electronic certified payroll records to the Labor Commissioner without regard to when the Project was awarded to Contractor. d. Labor Code Section 1777.5 requires Contractor or subcontractor employing tradesmen in any apprenticeable occupation to apply to the Joint Apprenticeship Committee nearest the site of the public works project, which administers the apprenticeship program in that trade for a certificate of approval. The certificate will also fix the ratio of apprentices to journeymen to be used in the performance of the Agreement. The Contractor is required to make contributions to funds established for the administration of apprenticeship programs if the Contractor employs registered apprentices or journeymen in any apprenticeable trade and if other contractors on the public works site are making such contributions.
Information relative to apprenticeship standards, contributions, wage schedules and other requirements may be obtained from the State Director of Industrial Relations or from the Division of Apprenticeship Standards. Labor Code Section 1777.6 provides that it shall be unlawful to refuse to accept otherwise qualified employees as registered apprentices solely on the grounds of race, religious creed, color, national origin, ancestry, sex, or age. e. Eight hours labor constitutes a legal day's work, as set forth in Labor Code Section 1810.
23. Execution. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall constitute one and the same instrument and shall become binding upon the parties when at least one copy hereof shall have been signed by both parties hereto. In approving this Agreement, it shall not be necessary to produce or account for more than one such counterpart. [Signatures on next page]
