REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Jason Simpson, City Manager
Prepared by: Shannon Buckley, Assistant City Manager
Date: January 27, 2026
Subject: Agreement with SC Fire Suppression, Inc. for the Purchase and Installation of the Server Room Clean Agent Fire Suppression and Detection Systems for the New City Hall (CIP Project No. Z20006)
Recommendation
Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute a Public Works Construction Agreement with SC Fire Suppression, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $160,955.00 for the purchase and installation of the clean agent fire suppression and detection systems in the new city hall server rooms in such final form as approved by the City Attorney; authorize the City Manager to execute change orders not to exceed a 10% contingency amount of $16,950.00; and authorize the City Clerk to record the Notice of Completion once work is completed.

Background
The purpose of this report is to provide a comprehensive overview of the proposed purchase and installation of the clean agent fire suppression and detection systems for the new City Hall building. At this time, it is necessary to purchase and install clean agent fire suppression and detection systems to ensure the safety and protection of the costly server room equipment and operational systems. Given the significance of this municipal facility, it is imperative to install a state-of-the-art fire suppression system, the operational systems and communication equipment.

Discussion
The installation of the Clean Agent Fire Suppression System demands careful coordination and strict adherence to technical specifications to ensure system reliability, occupant safety, and full compliance with regulatory standards. Fire suppression piping requires robust attachment methods, with all joints and supports meeting code requirements to maintain system integrity and facilitate effective agent distribution throughout the protected area.

Tank bracing is essential consideration, particularly in our region with seismic activity. Custom seismic racking is required and is a part of this scope of work. Fire alarm control panels for the system's responsiveness will be installed for real-time status and diagnostics for each device.

Smoke detection coverage is comprehensive and strategically placed to ensure early detection and timely system activation. Included in this scope will be the thorough testing and commissioning of all system components, including functional verification of detection, notification, and suppression functions, which are mandated to certify operational readiness and code compliance.

Wavier of Competitive Bidding Procedures
Pursuant to Section 3.08.070(G) of the Municipal Code, the City Council has the discretion to waive the competitive bidding requirement that would otherwise be utilized for this purchase.

This will be one of the most elaborate and complicated systems in the building. Hopefully one that will never be utilized. It is for the many reasons mentioned in the staff report and the technical requirements of the design and installation of the system that in the best interest of the City an exception to the bidding process be invoked in accordance with section 3.08.070(G) of the contract code. Here-in the design, purchase, and installation, all are completed by the same contractor. It is also worth mentioning that SC Fire Suppression Inc will perform the maintenance of the system.

As such the system benefits outlined below foster innovation, and provide a robust framework for highly technical requirements and inclusion of multiple building systems to function without failure:
- Single Point of Responsibility - Enhanced Communication and Collaboration - Faster Project Completion - Cost Savings
- Improved Quality Control - Reduced Administrative Burden - Increased Innovation and Flexibility - Better Risk Management Fiscal Impact
Funding costs are included in the Fiscal Year 25/26 – 29/30 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) budget, CIP Project #Z20006.

a. For and in consideration of the payments and agreements to be made and performed by City, Contractor agrees to construct the Project, including furnishing all materials and performing all work required for the Project, and to fulfill all other obligations as set forth in the Bidder’s Proposal, such contract price being one hundred sixty thousand nine hundred fifty-five dollars ($160,955.00).
2 b. City hereby promises and agrees to employ, and does hereby employ, Contractor to provide the materials, do the work, and fulfill the obligations according to the terms and conditions herein contained and referred to, for the prices set forth, and hereby contracts to pay the same at the time, in the manner, and upon the conditions set forth in the Project 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.

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. 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.

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.

An outdoor amphitheater is identified as a planned amenity in the City’s 2040 Plan, reinforcing its long-term importance to the community. City staff has already completed the feasibility stage of development, confirming the suitability of the concept and site and providing a strong foundation for advancing the project into future design an implementation phases.

Discussion
Based on our recent conversations, STK has been asked to put together a comprehensive proposal for the concept design of an amphitheater on a 10-acre site. The scope of work includes obtaining detailed site dimensions and building elevations to facilitate the creation of a threedimensional model, utilizing a topo survey provided by the city. This model will visually represent all exterior buildings and will be complemented by both daytime and nighttime video renderings.

Additionally, STK will prepare a building program and adjacency diagrams to guide realistic relationships and functional flows, while also developing a site plan that identifies critical amenities such as restrooms, parking, sidewalks, and food courts. This concept will begin the process and coordination with the other design professional engineering team members and will ensure that all technical requirements are seamlessly integrated into the conceptual model, supporting a cohesive and practical design approach.

In conclusion, conceptual development will begin immediately upon approval of this action. Once the design concept is entirely vetted a complete proposal for the construction document development will be initiated by staff and brought followed for City Council approval.

Fiscal Impact
Funds are available in the Fiscal Year 2025-26 to 2029-30 Capital Improvement Program Budget.

Consultant 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.

Consultant is not a designated employee within the meaning of the Political Reform Act because Consultant:

13. Compliance with Laws.

a. Indemnification for Professional Liability. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Consultant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless City and any and all of its officials, employees and agents (“Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses, including attorney’s fees and costs, to the extent they arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of the Consultant. Consultant’s duty to defend shall consist of reimbursement of defense costs incurred

Page 6 ends

by City in direct proportion to the Consultant’s proportionate percentage of fault. Consultant’s percentage of fault shall be determined, as applicable, by a court of law, jury or arbitrator. In the event any loss, liability or damage is incurred by way of settlement or resolution without a court, jury or arbitrator having made a determination of the Consultant’s percentage of fault, the parties agree to mediation with a third party neutral to determine the Consultant’s proportionate percentage of fault for purposes of determining the amount of indemnity and defense cost reimbursement owed to the City.
b. Indemnification for Other Than Professional Liability. Other than in the performance of professional services and to the full extent permitted by law, Consultant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless City, and any and all of its employees, officials and agents from and against any liability (including liability for claims, suits, actions, arbitration proceedings, administrative proceedings, regulatory proceedings, losses, expenses or costs of any kind, whether actual, alleged or threatened, including attorneys’ fees and costs, court costs, interest, defense costs, and expert witness fees), where the same arise out of, are a consequence of, or are in any way attributable to, in whole or in part, the performance of this Agreement by Consultant or by any individual or entity for which Consultant is legally liable, including but not limited to officers, agents, employees or sub-consultants of Consultant. Consultant shall not be liable to third parties for any liability exempted by statute.
c. General Indemnification Provisions. Consultant agrees to obtain executed indemnity agreements with provisions identical to those set forth here in this section from each and every sub-consultant or any other person or entity involved by, for, with or on behalf of Consultant in the performance of this Agreement. In the event Consultant fails to obtain such indemnity obligations from others as required here, Consultant agrees to be fully responsible according to the terms of this section. Failure of City to monitor compliance with these requirements imposes no additional obligations on City and will in no way act as a waiver of any rights hereunder. This obligation to indemnify and defend City as set forth here is binding on the successors, assigns or heirs of Consultant and shall survive the termination of this Agreement or this section.

16. Insurance Requirements.
a. Insurance. Consultant, at Consultant’s own cost and expense, shall procure and maintain, for the duration of the contract, unless modified by the City’s Risk Manager, the following insurance policies.

REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Jason Simpson, City Manager
Prepared by: Gina Gonzalez, Director of Economic Development and Legislative Affairs Date: January 27, 2026
Subject: Purchase of Real Property for Regional Community Park (APN 379-180-002) Recommendation
Approve the purchase of approximately 18.12 acres of real property located on Riverside Drive (APN 379-180-002) for $2.1M and authorize the City Manager or designee to execute an assignment of the Purchase Agreement and such other ancillary documents as it relates to the land acquisition and grant approval, as may be necessary to complete the purchase once requirements have been satisfied, in such form as approved by the City Attorney.

Background
The subject property is located along the southerly side of Riverside Drive near Lakeshore Drive.

The City has received a preliminary notice of grant award for a 50 percent matching grant from the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF), administered by the California Natural Resources Agency, Department of Parks and Recreation, Office of Grants and Local Services.

The grant is based on an application submitted by the City to support the relocation of a downtown park to accommodate the development of a new outdoor amphitheater.

The LWCF grant will fund the acquisition of park land, and the City has also been invited to apply for an additional Parks grant to support the design and construction of the expanded park facility.

The proposed acquisition would expand the park from approximately seven acres to 18.12 acres, providing additional community and sports-related recreational opportunities.

Regional Community Park Land Acquisition

Page 2 of 2 ends

In accordance with grant requirements and timelines, the City is currently completing a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment and has received a willingness-to-sell letter from the property owner. Upon completion of the Phase I assessment, resolution of title issues related to a prior tax sale, and receipt of the official grant award, escrow will be completed. City Council approval of the purchase is required to comply with grant requirements and meet the established timeline.

Environmental Consideration
Approval of the property purchase does not constitute a “project” under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15004(b), as it does not confer development rights or result in a physical change to the environment.

However, the grant awarding agency requires CEQA compliance for the acquisition. Accordingly, a Notice of Exemption (NOE) will be filed with the State Clearinghouse pursuant to CEQA Guideline Section 15316 (Transfer of Ownership of Land in Order to Create Parks). This “Class 16” exemption consists of the acquisition, sale, or other transfer of land in order to establish a park where the land is in a natural condition or contains historical or archaeological resources and either:
(a) The management plan for the park has not been prepared, or (b) The management plan proposes to keep the area in a natural condition or preserve the historic or archaeological resources.

CEQA will apply when a management plan is proposed that will change the area from its natural condition or cause substantial adverse change in the significance of the historic or archaeological resource. Accordingly, any future development of the property will be subject to full CEQA review.

Fiscal Impact
The total acquisition cost of $2.1 million will be funded through a 50 percent matching grant, resulting in a net cost to the City of $1,050,000, or approximately $58,000 per acre.

DISCLOSURE REGARDING

REAL ESTATE AGENCY RELATIONSHIP
As required by the Civil Code)
C.A.R. Form AD, Revised 12/24)
If checked) This form is being provided in connection with a transaction for a leasehold interest exceeding one year as per Civil Code §§ 2079.13(j), (k), and (l).

When you enter into a discussion with a real estate agent regarding a real estate transaction, you should from the outset understand what type of agency relationship or representation you wish to have with the agent in the transaction.

SELLER' S AGENT
A Seller's agent under a listing agreement with the Seller acts as the agent for the Seller only. A Seller's agent or a subagent of that agent has the following affirmative obligations:

To the Seller: A Fiduciary duty of utmost care, integrity, honesty and loyalty in dealings with the Seller.

To the Buyer and the Seller:
a) Diligent exercise of reasonable skill and care in performance of the agent's duties. b) A duty of honest and fair dealing and good faith.
c) A duty to disclose all facts known to the agent materially affecting the value or desirability of the property that are not known to, or within the diligent attention and observation of, the parties. An agent is not obligated to reveal to either party any confidential information obtained from the other party that does not involve the affirmative duties set forth above.

BUYER' S AGENT
A Buyer's agent can, with a Buyer's consent, agree to act as agent for the Buyer only. This includes a Buyer's agent under a buyer-broker representation agreement with the Buyer. In these situations, the agent is not the Seller's agent, even if by agreement the agent may receive compensation for services rendered, either in full or in part from the Seller. An agent acting only for a Buyer has the following affirmative obligations:

To the Buyer: A fiduciary duty of utmost care, integrity, honesty and loyalty in dealings with the Buyer.

To the Buyer and the Seller:
a) Diligent exercise of reasonable skill and care in performance of the agent's duties. b) A duty of honest and fair dealing and good faith.
c) A duty to disclose all facts known to the agent materially affecting the value or desirability of the property that are not known to, or within the diligent attention and observation of, the parties. An agent is not obligated to reveal to either party any confidential information obtained from the other party that does not involve the affirmative duties set forth above.

AGENT REPRESENTING BOTH SELLER AND BUYER
A real estate agent, either acting directly or through one or more salespersons and broker associates, can legally be the agent of both the Seller and the Buyer in a transaction, but only with the knowledge and consent of both the Seller and the Buyer.

In a dual agency situation, the agent has the following affirmative obligations to both the Seller and the Buyer:
a) A fiduciary duty of utmost care, integrity, honesty and loyalty in the dealings with either the Seller or the Buyer. b) Other duties to the Seller and the Buyer as stated above in their respective sections.

In representing both Seller and Buyer, a dual agent may not, without the express permission of the respective party, disclose to the other party confidential information, including, but not limited to, facts relating to either the Buyer's or Seller's financial position, motivations, bargaining position, or other personal information that may impact price, including the Seller's willingness to accept a price less than the listing price or the Buyer's willingness to pay a price greater than the price offered.

SELLER AND BUYER RESPONSIBILITIES
Either the purchase agreement or a separate document will contain a confirmation of which agent is representing you and whether that agent is representing you exclusively in the transaction or acting as a dual agent. Please pay attention to that confirmation to make sure it accurately reflects your understanding of your agent's role.

The above duties of the agent in a real estate transaction do not relieve a Seller or Buyer from the responsibility to protect their own interests. You should carefully read all agreements to assure that they adequately express your understanding of the transaction. A real estate agent is a person qualified to advise about real estate. If legal or tax advice is desired, consult a competent professional.

If you are a Buyer, you have the duty to exercise reasonable care to protect yourself, including as to those facts about the property which are known to you or within your diligent attention and observation.

Both Sellers and Buyers should strongly consider obtaining tax advice from a competent professional because the federal and state tax consequences of a transaction can be complex and subject to change.

Throughout your real property transaction you may receive more than one disclosure form, depending upon the number of agents assisting in the transaction. The law requires each agent with whom you have more than a casual relationship to present you with this disclosure form. You should read its contents each time it is presented to you, considering the relationship between you and the real estate agent in your specific transaction. This disclosure form includes the provisions of §§ 2079.13 to 2079.24, inclusive, of the Civil Code set forth on page 2. Read it carefully.

Note: Real estate broker commissions are not set by law and are fully negotiable.

An agent' s duty to provide disclosure and confirmation of representation in this section may be performed by a real estate salesperson or broker associate affiliated with that broker. 2079.18 (Repealed pursuant to AB-1289)
2079.19 The payment of compensation or the obligation to pay compensation to an agent by the seller or buyer is not necessarily determinative of a particular agency relationship between an agent and the seller or buyer. A listing agent and a selling agent may agree to share any compensation or commission paid, or any right to any compensation or commission for which an obligation arises as the result of a real estate transaction, and the terms of any such agreement shall not necessarily be determinative of a particular relationship. 2079. 20 Nothing in this article prevents an agent from selecting, as a condition of the agent' s employment, a specific form of agency relationship not specifically prohibited by this article if the requirements of § 2079.14 and § 2079.17 are complied with. 2079.21 (a) A dual agent may not, without the express permission of the seller, disclose to the buyer any confidential information obtained from the seller. b) A dual agent may not, without the express permission of the buyer, disclose to the seller any confidential information obtained from the buyer.( c) Confidential information” means facts relating to the client' s financial position, motivations, bargaining position, or other personal information that may impact price, such as the seller is willing to accept a price less than the listing price or the buyer is willing to pay a price greater than the price offered.( d) This section does not alter in any way the duty or responsibility of a dual agent to any principal with respect to confidential information other than price. 2079.22 Nothing in this article precludes a seller's agent from also being a buyer' s agent. If a seller or buyer in a transaction chooses to not be represented by an agent, that does not, of itself, make that agent a dual agent. 2079. 23 (a) A contract between the principal and agent may be modified or altered to change the agency relationship at any time before the performance of the act which is the object of the agency with the written consent of the parties to the agency relationship.( b) A lender or an auction company retained by a lender to control aspects of a transaction of real property subject to this part, including validating the sales price, shall not require, as a condition of receiving the lender' s approval of the transaction, the homeowner or listing agent to defend or indemnify the lender or auction company from any liability alleged to result from the actions of the lender or auction company. Any clause, provision, covenant, or agreement purporting to impose an obligation to defend or indemnify a lender or an auction company in violation of this subdivision is against public policy, void, and unenforceable. 2079.24 Nothing in this article shall be construed to either diminish the duty of disclosure owed buyers and sellers by agents and their associate licensees, subagents, and employees or to relieve agents and their associate licensees, subagents, and employees from liability for their conduct in connection with acts governed by this article or for any breach of a fiduciary duty or a duty of disclosure.

Buyer and Seller are advised to consult with a qualified California real estate attorney: ( i) Before adding any other clause specifying a remedy ( such as release or forfeiture of deposit or making a deposit non-refundable) for failure of Buyer to complete the purchase.

B. ALL CASH OFFER: If an all cash offer is specified in paragraph 3A, no loan is needed to purchase the Property. This Agreement is NOT contingent on Buyer obtaining a loan.

Form SFA), Assumed Financing, Subject to Financing, or Other is checked in paragraph 3E(1). 2) ADDITIONAL FINANCED AMOUNT: If an additional financed amount is specified in paragraph 3E(2), that amount will provide for conventional financing UNLESS Seller Financing ( C.A.R.

Seller has agreed to a specific closing date, purchase price, and to sell to Buyer in reliance on Buyer's specified financing. Buyer shall pursue the financing specified in this Agreement, even if Buyer also elects to pursue an alternative form of financing. Seller has no obligation to cooperate with Buyer's efforts to obtain any financing other than that specified in this Agreement but shall not interfere with closing at the purchase price on the COE date (paragraph 3B) even if based upon alternate financing. Buyer's inability to obtain alternate financing does not excuse Buyer from the obligation to purchase the Property and close escrow as specified in this Agreement.

7. CLOSING AND POSSESSION:

A. INTENDED USE: Buyer intends to use the Property as indicated in paragraph 3E(3). Intended use may impact available financing.

B.

8. CONTINGENCIES AND REMOVAL OF CONTINGENCIES:

A. LOAN(S):
1) This Agreement is, unless otherwise specified in paragraph 3L(1) or an attached CR form, contingent upon Buyer obtaining the loan(s) specified. If contingent, Buyer shall act diligently and in good faith to obtain the designated loan(s). If there is no appraisal contingency or the appraisal contingency has been waived or removed, then failure of the Property to appraise at the purchase price does not entitle Buyer to exercise the cancellation right pursuant to the loan contingency if Buyer is otherwise qualified for the specified loan and Buyer is able to satisfy lender' s non-appraisal conditions for closing the loan.

2) Buyer is advised to investigate the insurability of the Property as early as possible, as this may be a requirement for lending.

Buyer's ability to obtain insurance for the Property, including fire insurance, is part of Buyer's Insurance contingency. Failure of Buyer to obtain insurance may justify cancellation based on the Insurance contingency but not the loan contingency. 3) Buyer' s contractual obligations regarding deposit, balance of down payment and closing costs are not contingencies of this Agreement, unless Otherwise Agreed.
4) If there is an appraisal contingency, removal of the loan contingency shall not be deemed removal of the appraisal contingency. 5) NO LOAN CONTINGENCY: If "No loan contingency" is checked in paragraph 3L(1), obtaining any loan specified is NOT a contingency of this Agreement. If Buyer does not obtain the loan specified, and as a result is unable to purchase the Property, Seller may be entitled to Buyer's deposit or other legal remedies.

B. APPRAISAL:
1) This Agreement is, unless otherwise specified in paragraph 3L(2) or an attached CR form, contingent upon a written appraisal of the Property by a licensed or certified appraiser at no less than the amount specified in paragraph 3L(2), without requiring repairs or improvements to the Property.

However, the ability to cancel based on the measurements provided in an appraisal falls within the Investigation of Property contingency. The appraisal contingency is solely limited to the value determined by the appraisal.

For any cancellation based upon this appraisal contingency, Buyer shall Deliver a Copy of the written appraisal to Seller, upon request by Seller.
2) NO APPRAISAL CONTINGENCY: If "No appraisal contingency" is checked in paragraph 3L(2), then Buyer may not use the loan contingency specified in paragraph 3L(1) to cancel this Agreement if the sole reason for not obtaining the loan is that the appraisal relied upon by Buyer's lender values the property at an amount less than that specified in paragraph 3L(2). If Buyer is unable to obtain the loan specified solely for this reason, Seller may be entitled to Buyer's deposit or other legal remedies.
3) FAIR APPRAISAL ACT NOTICE:

E. INVESTIGATION OF PROPERTY: This Agreement is, as specified in paragraph 3L(5), contingent upon Buyer's acceptance of the condition of, and any other matter affecting, the Property.

F. INSURANCE: This Agreement is, as specified in paragraph 3L(6), contingent upon Buyer's assessment of the availability and approval of the cost for any insurance policy desired under this Agreement.

G. REVIEW OF SELLER DOCUMENTS: This Agreement is, as specified in paragraph 3L(7), contingent upon Buyer's review and approval of Seller's documents required in paragraph 17A.

H. TITLE:
1) This Agreement is, as specified in paragraph 3L(8), contingent upon Buyer's ability to obtain the title policy provided for in paragraph 16G and on Buyer's review of a current Preliminary Report and items that are disclosed or observable even if not on record or not specified in the Preliminary Report, and satisfying Buyer regarding the current status of title.

I. CONDOMINIUM/ PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISCLOSURES ( IF APPLICABLE): This Agreement is, as specified in paragraph 3L(9), contingent upon Buyer's review and approval of Common Interest Disclosures required by Civil Code § 4525 and under paragraph 11E (“CI Disclosures”).

J. BUYER REVIEW OF LEASED OR LIENED ITEMS CONTINGENCY ( IF APPLICABLE): Buyer's review of and ability and willingness to assume any lease, maintenance agreement or other ongoing financial obligation, or to accept the Property subject to any lien, disclosed pursuant to paragraph 9B(2), is, as specified in paragraph 3L(10), a contingency of this Agreement. Any assumption of the lease shall not require any financial obligation or contribution by Seller. Seller, after first Delivering a Notice to Buyer to Perform, may cancel this Agreement if Buyer, by the time specified in paragraph 3L(10), refuses or is unable to enter into any necessary written agreements to accept responsibility for all obligations of Seller-disclosed leased or liened items.

K. REMOVAL OR WAIVER OF CONTINGENCIES WITH OFFER: Buyer shall have no obligation to remove a contractual contingency unless Seller has provided all required documents, reports, disclosures, and information pertaining to that contingency. If Buyer does remove a contingency without first receiving all required information from Seller, Buyer is relinquishing any contractual rights that apply to that contingency. If Buyer removes or waives any contingencies without an adequate understanding of the Property' s condition or Buyer' s ability to purchase, Buyer is acting against the advice of Agent.

L. REMOVAL OF CONTINGENCY OR CANCELLATION:
1) For any contingency specified in paragraph 3L, 8, or elsewhere Buyer shall, within the applicable period specified, remove the contingency or cancel this Agreement. 2) For the contingencies for review of Seller Documents, Preliminary Report, and Condominium/ Planned Development Disclosures, Buyer shall, within the time specified in paragraph 3L or 5 Days after Delivery of the applicable Seller Documents, Preliminary Report, or CI Disclosures, whichever occurs later, remove the applicable contingency in writing or cancel this Agreement.
3) If Buyer does not remove a contingency within the time specified, Seller, after first giving Buyer a Notice to Buyer to Perform (C.A.R. Form NBP), shall have the right to cancel this Agreement.

29. AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT: The Americans With Disabilities Act (“ ADA”) prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities. The ADA affects almost all commercial facilities and public accommodations. Residential properties are not typically covered by the ADA, but may be governed by its provisions if used for certain purposes. The ADA can require, among other things, that buildings be made readily accessible to the disabled. Different requirements apply to new construction, alterations to existing buildings, and removal of barriers in existing buildings. Compliance with the ADA may require significant costs. Monetary and injunctive remedies may be incurred if the Property is not in compliance. A real estate broker or agent does not have the technical expertise to determine whether a building is in compliance with ADA requirements, or to advise a principal on those requirements. Buyer and Seller are advised to contact a qualified California real estate attorney, contractor, architect, engineer, or other qualified professional of Buyer or Seller's own choosing to determine to what degree, if any, the ADA impacts that principal or this transaction.

BUYER'S VACANT LAND ADDITIONAL INSPECTION

ADVISORY
C.A.R. Form BVLIA, Revised 6/23)
Property Address: (" Property").

A. IMPORTANCE OF PROPERTY INVESTIGATION: The physical condition of the land and improvements being purchased is not guaranteed by either Seller or Brokers. For this reason, you should conduct thorough investigations of the Property personally and with professionals who should provide written reports of their investigations. A general physical inspection typically does not cover all aspects of the Property nor items affecting the Property that are not physically located on the Property. If the professionals recommend further investigations, including a recommendation by a pest control operator to inspect inaccessible areas of the Property, you should contact qualified experts to conduct such additional investigations. Additionally, some inspections, such as those listed below, may be of particular importance when purchasing vacant land.

B. BUYER RIGHTS AND DUTIES: You have an affirmative duty to exercise reasonable care to protect yourself, including discovery of the legal, practical and technical implications of disclosed facts, and the investigation and verification of information and facts that you know, or that are within your diligent attention and observation. The purchase agreement gives you the right to investigate the Property. If you exercise this right, and you should, you must do so in accordance with the terms of that agreement. This is the best way for you to protect yourself. It is extremely important for you to read all written reports provided by professionals and to discuss the results of inspections with the professional who conducted the inspection. You have the right to request that Seller make repairs, corrections or take other action based upon items discovered in your investigations or disclosed by Seller. If Seller is unwilling or unable to satisfy your requests, or you do not want to purchase the Property in its disclosed and discovered condition, you have the right to cancel the agreement if you act within specific time periods. If you do not perform, and you have not cancelled the agreement in a timely and proper manner, you may be in breach of contract.

C. SELLER RIGHTS AND DUTIES: Seller is required to disclose to you known material facts that affect the value or desirability of the Property. However, Seller may not be aware of some Property defects or conditions. Seller does not have an obligation to inspect the Property for your benefit nor is Seller obligated to repair, correct or otherwise cure known defects that are disclosed to you or previously unknown defects that are discovered by you or your inspectors during escrow. The purchase agreement obligates Seller to make the Property available to you for investigations.

D. BROKER OBLIGATIONS: Brokers do not have expertise in all areas and therefore cannot advise you on many items, such as soil stability, geologic or environmental conditions, hazardous or illegal controlled substances, structural conditions of the foundation or other improvements, or the condition of the roof, plumbing, heating, air conditioning, electrical, sewer, septic, waste disposal, or other system. The only way to accurately determine the condition of the Property is through an inspection by an appropriate professional selected by you. If Broker gives you referrals to such professionals, Broker does not guarantee their performance. You may select any professional of your choosing. If you have entered into a written agreement with a Broker, the specific terms of that agreement will determine the nature and extent of that Broker's duty to you. YOU ARE STRONGLY ADVISED TO INVESTIGATE THE CONDITION AND SUITABILITY OF ALL ASPECTS OF THE PROPERTY. IF YOU DO NOT DO SO, YOU ARE ACTING AGAINST THE ADVICE OF BROKERS.

E. YOU ARE ADVISED TO CONDUCT INVESTIGATIONS OF THE ENTIRE PROPERTY, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE FOLLOWING:

1. FINANCE: Financing the purchase of vacant land and especially financing construction loans for the improvement of vacant land can provide particular challenges, including subordination agreements and insurance requirements.

Buyer is advised to seek the assistance of reputable lenders in assistance with their decisions regarding financing of the property.

2. CONSTRUCTION COSTS: If Buyer is contemplating building improvements on the property, Buyer is advised that they will have to contact any contractors, service providers, suppliers, architects, utility companies regarding the costs of improvements. Buyer is advised to get written bids from all such persons regarding their decision to develop the property.

3. UTILITIES: Unimproved property may or may not have utilities available to the property. Buyer(s) is advised to obtain information from the public or private utility provider about the availability and cost of providing utilities to the property and whether necessary easements are in place to allow such utilities to the property.

4. ENVIRONMENTAL SURVEY: Unimproved land may have had or may have hazardous materials stored upon or under the land or been used by persons engaged in activities exposing the land to hazardous materials. The land may also be host to protected vegetation or animal life. Buyer(s) is advised to satisfy themselves as what hazards or protected plant or animal life are on the property and what impact they may have on Buyer's future plans for the property by seeking the help of a qualified professional. 2023, California Association of REALTORS®, Inc.

5. NATURAL HAZARDS REPORTS: Buyer(s) is advised that while certain disclosures are required by state, federal and local laws, hazard disclosure companies can provide additional disclosures for both natural and man-made hazards or nuisances for a cost. Buyer is advised to seek the advice of a natural hazards reporting company regarding additional reports and disclosures that buyer may wish to obtain.

6. SUBDIVISION OF THE PROPERTY: If Buyer's plans include future subdivision of the property ( whether under the Subdivision Map Act of the Subdivided Lands Law) multiple, complex issues regarding city, county, state, and federal laws may be presented. Buyer is strongly advised to seek the advice of California legal counsel familiar with federal, state and local subdivision requirements.

Buyer and Seller acknowledge and agree that Broker:( i) Does not decide what price Buyer should pay or Seller should accept;( ii) Does not guarantee the condition of the Property;( iii) Does not guarantee the performance, adequacy or completeness of inspections, services, products or repairs provided or made by Seller or others;( iv) Does not have an obligation to conduct an inspection of common areas or areas off the site of the Property;( v) Shall not be responsible for identifying defects on the Property, in common areas, or offsite unless such defects are visually observable by an inspection of reasonably accessible areas of the Property or are known to Broker;( vi) Shall not be responsible for inspecting public records or permits concerning the title or use of Property;( vii) Shall not be responsible for identifying the location of boundary lines or other items affecting title;( viii) Shall not be responsible for verifying square footage, representations of others or information contained in Investigation reports, Multiple Listing Service, advertisements, flyers or other promotional material;( ix) Shall not be responsible for providing legal or tax advice regarding any aspect of a transaction entered into by Buyer or Seller; and ( x) Shall not be responsible for providing other advice or information that exceeds the knowledge, education and experience required to perform real estate licensed activity. Buyer and Seller agree to seek legal, tax, insurance, title and other desired assistance from appropriate professionals.

By signing below, Buyer and Seller each acknowledge that they have read, understand, accept and have received a Copy of this Advisory. Buyer is encouraged to read it carefully.

POSSIBLE REPRESENTATION OF MORE THAN ONE BUYER

OR SELLER - DISCLOSURE AND CONSENT
C.A.R. Form PRBS, Revised 6/25)

1. BROKER AGENCY RELATIONSHIP WITH MULTIPLE PRINCIPALS: A real estate broker (“ Brokerage”), whether a corporation, partnership or sole proprietorship, may legally represent more than one buyer or seller. This multiple representation can occur through a sole proprietor Brokerage; or through a salesperson or broker acting under the Brokerage' s license (“ Associate Licensee”). Associate Licensees under a Brokerage' s license may be working out of the same or different office locations, and may or may not know one another. Clients of the Brokerage may have similar goals and may compete against each other for the same property or the same pool of prospective buyers. Some buyers and sellers prefer to work with individual, sole proprietor brokerages, some with brokerages that have multiple licensees, and others with large brokerage companies that have multiple offices and may have a regional, statewide or a national or international presence. Each has its own advantages. It is important for buyers and sellers to understand how the Brokerage representation of multiple buyers or sellers may impact them under various situations.

A. MULTIPLE BUYERS: Brokerage ( individually or through any of its Associate Licensees) may work with many prospective buyers at the same time. These prospective buyers may have an interest in, and make offers on, the same properties. Some of these properties may be listed by the Brokerage. Whether Brokerage is large or small, it is possible that one Associate- Licensee ( agent 1) working with a buyer may not be aware that another AssociateLicensee ( agent 2) is working with a different buyer who is interested in viewing or making an offer on the same property as agent 1's client, and vise-versa. Brokerage will not limit or restrict any buyer from making an offer on any specific property, whether or not the Brokerage represents other buyers interested in the same property.

B. MULTIPLE SELLERS: Brokerage ( individually or through its Associate Licensees) may have listings on many properties at the same time. As a result, Brokerage will attempt to find buyers for each of those listed properties.

Some listed properties may appeal to the same prospective buyers. Some properties may attract more prospective buyers than others. Some of these prospective buyers may be represented by Brokerage and some may not.

Brokerage will market all listed properties to all prospective buyers, whether or not Brokerage has other listed properties that may appeal to the same prospective buyers.

C. DUAL AGENCY IN A TRANSACTION: California law allows a brokerage to represent both a buyer and a seller in a transaction ( Civil Code § 2079 et seq.).
1) Brokerage Dual Agency: If one Associate- Licensee from the Brokerage is working with a buyer and another Associate- Licensee from the same Brokerage is working with a seller on the same transaction, the Brokerage is considered a dual agent with fiduciary duties to both buyer and seller. In that situation, each individual Associate Licensee working on the transaction is also considered a dual agent having the same knowledge and responsibility as the Brokerage.
2) Single Agent Dual Agency: Another form of dual agency occurs when an individual Associate- Licensee is working with both the buyer and seller in the same transaction. In that situation, both the Brokerage company and the individual Associate- Licensee are dual agents with fiduciary duties to each side of the transaction.

There is no one approach to this situation. Some brokerages allow the single agent dual agent to continue to represent both parties, as that Associate-Licensee is the chosen agent of the principal. Some brokerages recommend that the broker or an office manager get involved if there is a dispute between the buyer and seller.

Some brokerages will require that the broker or an office manager assist the Associate- Licensee with one principal or the other, even if the parties do not have a dispute. Whether one of these approaches, or another, is taken in a single agent dual agency will depend on the circumstances and the brokerage policy. Regardless of the approach, the Associate- Licensee and Brokerage shall conduct activity consistent with the terms in paragraph 2C.

2. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND CONSENT:

A. OFFERS ARE NOT NECESSARILY CONFIDENTIAL: Buyer is advised that seller or listing agent may disclose the existence, terms, or conditions of buyer's offer to other interested buyers and agents unless all parties and their agent have signed a written confidentiality agreement, ( C.A.R. Form NDA). In the absence of a signed NDA, Buyer consents to such disclosure. Whether any such information is actually disclosed depends on many factors, such as current market conditions, the prevailing practice in the real estate community, the listing agent's marketing strategy, and the instructions of the seller.

B. MULTIPLE BUYERS OR SELLERS: If Seller is represented by Brokerage, Seller acknowledges that Brokerage may represent prospective buyers of Seller's property and consents to Brokerage acting as a dual agent for both Seller and buyer in that transaction. If Buyer is represented by Brokerage, Buyer acknowledges that Brokerage may represent sellers of property that Buyer is interested in acquiring and consents to Brokerage acting as a dual agent for both Buyer and seller with regard to that property.

C. DUAL AGENCY IN A TRANSACTION: In the event of dual agency, Seller and Buyer agree that:( i) a dual agent may not, without the express permission of the respective party, disclose to the other party confidential information, including, but not limited to, facts relating to either the buyer's or seller's financial position, motivations, bargaining position, or other personal information that may impact price, including the Seller's willingness to accept a price less than the listing price or the Buyer's willingness to pay a price greater than the price offered; and ( ii) except as set forth above, a dual agent is obligated to disclose known facts materially affecting the value or desirability of the Property to both parties. Seller and Buyer should discuss with a dual agent the details and parameters of this requirement. Seller and/or Buyer consents to allowing Brokerage to act as a dual agent in a transaction.

WIRE FRAUD AND ELECTRONIC FUNDS

TRANSFER ADVISORY
C.A.R. Form WFA, Reviewed 6/25)
WIRE FRAUD AND ELECTRONIC FUNDS TRANSFERS ADVISORY:

The ability to communicate and conduct business electronically is a convenience and reality in nearly all parts of our lives.

At the same time, it has provided hackers and scammers new opportunities for their criminal activity. Many businesses have been victimized and the real estate business is no exception.

While wiring or electronically transferring funds is a welcome convenience, we all need to exercise extreme caution.

Emails attempting to induce fraudulent wire transfers have been received and have appeared to be legitimate. Reports indicate that some hackers have been able to intercept emailed transfer instructions, obtain account information and, by altering some of the data, redirect the funds to a different account. It also appears that some hackers were able to provide false phone numbers for verifying the wiring or funds transfer instructions. In those cases, the victim called the number provided to confirm the instructions, and then unwittingly authorized a transfer to somewhere or someone other than the intended recipient.

ACCORDINGLY, YOU ARE ADVISED:

1. Obtain phone numbers and account numbers only from Escrow Officers, Property Managers, or Housing Providers at the beginning of the transaction.

2. DO NOT EVER WIRE OR ELECTRONICALLY TRANSFER FUNDS PRIOR TO CALLING TO CONFIRM THE TRANSFER INSTRUCTIONS. ONLY USE A PHONE NUMBER YOU WERE PROVIDED PREVIOUSLY. Do not use any different phone number or account number included in any emailed transfer instructions.

3. Orally confirm the transfer instruction is legitimate and confirm the bank routing number, account numbers and other codes before taking steps to transfer the funds.

4. Avoid sending personal information in emails or texts. Provide such information in person or over the telephone directly to the Escrow Officer, Property Manager, or Housing Provider.

5. Take steps to secure the system you are using with your email account. These steps include creating strong passwords, using secure WiFi, and not using free services.

If you believe you have received questionable or suspicious wire or funds transfer instructions, immediately notify your bank, and the other party, and the Escrow Office, Housing Provider, or Property Manager. The sources below, as well as others, can also provide information:

Federal Bureau of Investigation: https://www.fbi.gov/; the FBI's IC3 at www.ic3.gov; or 310-477-6565 National White Collar Crime Center: http://www.nw3c.org/ On Guard Online: https://www.onguardonline.gov/
NOTE: There are existing alternatives to electronic and wired fund transfers such as cashier's checks.

The term “Housing Provider” also includes Landlord or Rental Property Owner.

CALIFORNIA CONSUMER PRIVACY ACT ADVISORY,

DISCLOSURE AND NOTICE
C.A.R. Form CCPA, Revised 12/22)
The California Consumer Privacy Act (commencing with Civil Code § 1798.100) (“CCPA”), as amended by California voters in 2020, grants to California residents certain rights in their private, personal information (“ PI”) that is collected by companies with whom they do business. Under the CCPA, PI is defined broadly to encompass non-public records information that could reasonably be linked directly or indirectly to you. PI could potentially include photographs of, or sales information about, your property.

During the process of buying and selling real estate your PI will be collected and likely shared with others, including real estate licensees, a Multiple Listing Service, real estate internet websites, service providers, lenders, and title and escrow companies, to name several possibilities. Businesses that are covered by the CCPA are required to grant you various rights in your PI, including the right to know what PI is collected, the right to know what PI is sold or shared and to whom, the right to request that the business correct or delete your PI, the right to “opt out” or stop the transfer of your PI to others, and the right to limit the use of certain PI which is considered “ sensitive.” You may get one or more notices regarding your CCPA rights from businesses you interact with in a real estate transaction. However, not all businesses that receive or share your PI are obligated to comply with the CCPA. Moreover, businesses that are otherwise covered under the CCPA may have a legal obligation to maintain PI, notwithstanding your instruction to the contrary. For instance, regardless of whether they are covered by CCPA, under California law, brokers and Multiple Listing Services are required to maintain their records for 3 years. If you wish to exercise your rights under CCPA, where applicable, you should contact the respective business directly.

You can obtain more information about the CCPA and your rights under the law from the State of California Department of Justice ( oag.ca.gov/privacy/ccpa). Additionally, the California Privacy Protection Agency is authorized to promulgate regulations which may further clarify requirements of the CCPA (cppa.ca.gov/regulations/).

REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Jason Simpson, City Manager
Prepared by: Yu Tagai, City Engineer
Date: January 27, 2026
Subject: Final Contract Change Order to the Public Works Construction Agreement with Griffith Company, Inc. for the I-15 Main Street Interchange Improvement Project (CIP Project No. Z10017)
Recommendation
Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute the Final Contract Change Order to the Public Works Construction Agreement with Griffith Company, Inc. in amount not to exceed $109,375 for the settlement totaling $485,000 for the I-15 Main Street Interchange Improvement Project in such final form as approved by the City Attorney.

Background
On October 12, 2021, City Council approved an Agreement for Public Works Construction with Griffith Company, Inc. (Griffith), to complete improvements associated with the Interstate 15 Main Street Interchange Improvement Project for $7,998,603.50 plus 10% contingency of $799,860.35 for total approved project cost not to exceed $8,798,463.85. The project commenced on March 14, 2022, and construction was completed on November 10, 2025.

Discussion
In 2024, Griffith notified the City that it was seeking “time related field and home office overhead” costs based on 191 working day delay. The City analyzed the claim and concluded that much of the claim was not justified or was offset by liquidated damages caused by the Contractor’s delays.

For 18 months, efforts to reach a resolution has been unsuccessful.

With intent on reaching a resolution, the City has requested a best and final settlement offer. In December 2025, the City received a best and final offer from Griffith in an amount of $485,000, which provides resolution to all remaining items. With $375,265.31 of additional approved Main Street Interchange Improvement

Page 2 of 2 ends

contingency funds, Staff is requesting an additional $109,375 to accommodate the total settlement offer of $485,000. The offer expires on February 1, 2026.

Fiscal Impact
The project has been programmed in the City’s CIP budget.

Subject: Response to City Letter Dated 11.20.2025
Dear Mr. Tagai:

Griffith is in receipt of the City of Lake Elsinore TRO (“Time Related Overhead”) response letter dated November 20, 2025. In this letter, the City of Lake Elsinore states “We have urged the contracting team on several occasions to engage in substantive settlement discussions, but to no avail”. Griffith Company disputes the position that the City of Lake Elsinore has taken an active role in attempting to engage in substantive settlement discussions. The following are recent attempts by Griffith Company to engage in good faith settlement discussions that have largely been ignored by the City of Lake Elsinore.

Griffith Company is an equal opportunity employer and an employee-owned company.

Griffith Company acknowledges that there have been past attempts by the City to settle this matter. However, most attempts by the City were not substantive and in good faith as the City merely made arbitrary token offers unrelated to the scope of the issue, and completely void of reasoning, data or any substantive discussion. To further illustrate this, Griffith addresses four such efforts below.

1. Marquis Johnson received a letter from the City on July 22, 2024, responding to Griffith Company’s request for TRO and open change orders. In the letter, the City offered $164,977.29 to settle approximately $1,460,666.44 in open change orders.

The City did not agree to the requested TRO and cited the same three reasons cited in the City’s recent correspondence. Griffith Company provided a detailed response with factual backup refuting the City’s unfounded arguments. See Griffith Company letter dated September 5, 2024.

2. Marquis Johnson received a phone call from Remon Habib in October 2024 stating that the City was offering $200,000 to settle the approximately $1,460,666.67 in open change order requests. When questioned about the rationale for the offer, Remon stated it was the maximum he was authorized to offer. There was no substantive discussion about the content of the change order requests.

3. On June 25, 2025, Remon Habib communicated an offer of $185,422.29 to settle approximately $1,801,179.62 in TRO and open change orders. The increase in the change order amount was due to ongoing owner delays. In response, Griffith Company made a good faith offer to settle our change orders for $475,030.65 less than previously requested for a total of $1,326,148.97.

4. On September 24, 2025, Yu Tagai from the City of Lake Elsinore sent a final settlement agreement for $100,000.00 for TRO, not charge LD’s and the City would address the remaining change orders (COP’s #31, 33, and 43). We understand this proposal to be for $285,422.29
No Factual Basis for City’s Rejection of Griffith Company Claims The City of Lake Elsinore continues to provide the following four statements as the basis for why TRO compensation is not due to Griffith Company. These statements are not supported by any factual analysis, reasoning, or evidence. Further, Griffith Company has already previously refuted each statement.
1) “Retaining walls work started much later than shown on the original schedule and after the submittal were approved; work was to be done by Griffith and Drilltech.” a. Response: Griffith Company agrees that the work started later than expected. There are durations specified in the contract for the City’s review of submittals and it exceeded that duration significantly. The retaining wall work was initially delayed due to the extended submittal review process for the retaining wall ground anchors. Notification of this was provided to the City of Lake Elsinore via Submittal #49 – Time Impact Analysis (TIA). The City of Lake Elsinore authorized the submittal which requested additional days. Its approval included comments. Griffith Company requests explanation from the City of Lake Elsinore why it continues to cite this argument when it has been previously acknowledged

2) “Drilltech left the project several times or worked a few days per week while their work was the controlling operation of the critical path on the schedule. a. Response: The wall construction was built per the originally planned process. A process which included days that Drilltech would not be onsite. Accordingly, the City’s statement is not indicative of a Contractor caused delay. It was always the plan, and is inherent in this type of work, that Drilltech would not be onsite every day. For the lift of each wall, the approved baseline schedule shows at least twelve (12) working days where Drilltech would stop work to allow the excavation to proceed in a safe manner and for the concrete to cure. The schedule below labels Drilltech’s work activities as “Drill sub horizontal ground anchors”, “Shotcrete sub horizontal ground anchors” and “Testing horizontal ground anchors”. Between each lift of the retaining wall, the activity “Excavate sub horizontal ground anchors” Drilltech’s work and has a duration of (5) working days. Also, there is a seven (7) calendar day activity labeled “Cure horizontal ground anchors” which takes place in between Drilltech’s work. This is because each time “Excavate sub horizontal ground anchors” or “Cure horizontal ground anchors” occurs, Drilltech is not to be on site, and should be waiting for the activities to finish.

Additionally, the total duration originally planned for Drill-Tech’s work was 105 working days. The actual total duration of Drilltech’s work was 97 working days. Drilltech actually beat its planned durations. It did not abandon the job in any way as the City has tried to argue. 3) “Griffith Company did not effectively manage staffing the project to increase productivity, but instead, had fewer people working on critical path and other items”.

Griffith Company is an equal opportunity employer and an employee-owned company. a. Response: This statement is unsubstantiated, vague, and not based in fact. The as-built schedule does not indicate project delays were caused by Griffith Company not meeting originally anticipated productions. The as-built schedule and several Time Impact Analyses (TIA’s) show that delayed review times and design issues caused the project delays. Many of the delay days for which Griffith Company is requesting Time Related Overhead have been approved by the City of Lake Elsinore previously.

To help mitigate the Owner delays, Griffith Company did accelerate the schedule by resequencing construction of the north and south wall concurrently. This was changed from a sequential production that is shown in the approved baseline schedule. The City of Lake Elsinore was first notified of this effort in the approved October 2022 schedule update.

The project suffered from poor design. The initial civil engineer was removed from the project early during the beginning stages. Griffith Company’s productivity was impacted by the amount of design changes and RFI’s needed to address inconsistencies in the project plans. A total of sixty-eight (68) out of one hundred and twenty-five (125) plan sheets were revised through design changes. At least half of the plan’s sheets were not accurate at start of construction. Also, there were one hundred and forty-five(145) RFIs submitted on a three hundred (300) working day contract. Nearly one (1) RFI for every two (2) contract working days. 4) “Also troubling is the fact that your claim was submitted with two employees that the City had no contact with: Mr. Wanum and Mr. Rivas. The inclusion of costs from two persons that did not work on the project has calls into question the authenticity of Griffith’s data”.
a. Response: It is common within the industry to have staff that work on the project that don’t interact with the client directly. Nonetheless, there was interaction between the City’s inspection staff and these personnel. Mr.

Walnum was a Senior Project Manager that provided support for the structural portion of the project. Mr. Rivas was the Superintendent responsible for the structural portion of the project. Because Mr. Rivas was onsite routinely during the structural portion of the phase, your inspection staff will validate that he was part of the project. This comment was also previously addressed in Griffith Company’s Letter #24 dated September 5, 2024.
///
Restatement of Facts
Griffith Company has provided multiple correspondence to the City of Lake Elsinore to substantiate its claim for owner caused delays and associated TRO costs. The project documents will show that the City of Lake Elsinore initiated Notice to Proceed on March 14, 2022, with a contract duration of three hundred (300) working days. The City of Lake Elsinore agreed and added sixty-four (64) working days to the contract via change orders #1-18 and added forty-seven (47) working days to the contract via change orders #19-24.

These change orders (#1-24) added a total of 111 working days to our contract.

Griffith has provided submittal #124, which included TIA #9100. In this TIA Griffith

Griffith Company is an equal opportunity employer and an employee-owned company. requested an additional 199 working days and the Time Related Overhead (TRO) costs associated with the delay. The additional 199 working days, plus the 111 days already added to Griffith Company’s contract brought the total number of additional working days to 310. The City rejected TIA #9100 for unsubstantiated reasons. As shown in Letter #26, the total requested amount is $1,801,179.62 for all open change orders.

Griffith Company desires to find a mutually agreeable resolution to its Change Order Requests (COR) #21 TRO, COR #31 Additional Survey, COR #33 Material Price Adjustment & COR #43 Oil Index Price Adjustment. To that end, Griffith Company has attempted to meet with Remon Habib, Yu Tagai, and Jason Simpson multiple times to engage in substantive settlement discussions.

Regardless of our disagreement about the history of who has attempted to engage in substantive settlement discussions, we are encouraged by your expressed desire to do so now. Accordingly, the necessary next steps are to engage in substantive in-person settlement discussions. A written best and final proposal followed by closed door discussions will not be productive.

However, as a show of Good Faith, Griffith Company wants to comply with your request.

Notwithstanding the position Griffith Company has set forth previously herein or otherwise, and preserving all rights Griffith Company has with respect to this matter and the actions of the City of Lake Elsinore, Griffith Company submits the following best and final offer of $485,000.00. This amount is offered as a potential settlement of all matters discussed herein. Accordingly, the offer is subject to all protections applicable to settlement offers, including but not limited to any use of such offer as evidence that Griffith Company has waived any rights or claims. This offer is contingent on the City of Lake Elsinore’s payment of this amount prior to February 1, 2026.

Lastly, Griffith Company requests an update on the status of retention release. As you know, Public Contract Code requires release of retention within 60 days of completion, which was achieved on November 10, 2025. Failure to do so can result in penalties of 2% per month.

I would gladly welcome a meeting or telephone call to discuss these matters further. You can reach me at (714) 334-4941

For and in consideration of the payments and agreements to be made and performed by City, Contractor agrees to construct the Project, including furnishing all materials and performing all work required for the Project, and to fulfill all other obligations as set forth in the Bidder’s Proposal, such contract price being Seven Million Nine Hundred NinetyEight Thousand Six Hundred Three dollars and Fifty Cents ($7,998,603.50).

DocuSign Envelope ID: EC37DC34-E6AB-44C2-90D2-0891A4759AEB 2 b. City hereby promises and agrees to employ, and does hereby employ, Contractor to provide the materials, do the work, and fulfill the obligations according to the terms and conditions herein contained and referred to, for the prices set forth, and hereby contracts to pay the same at the time, in the manner, and upon the conditions set forth in the Project 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 Three Hundred (300) 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.

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.

DocuSign Envelope ID: EC37DC34-E6AB-44C2-90D2-0891A4759AEB 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. 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
DocuSign Envelope ID: EC37DC34-E6AB-44C2-90D2-0891A4759AEB 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.

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.

DocuSign Envelope ID: EC37DC34-E6AB-44C2-90D2-0891A4759AEB 8 b. Contractor's attention is directed to the provisions of Labor Code Sections 1774, 1775, 1776, 1777.5 and 1777.6.

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.

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.
