The Committee took action to approve the May 7, 2024, Meeting Minutes and the Youth Activity and Performance Report.

Mr. Brandyn Kelso, Youth Programs Coordinator for the South Bay Workforce Investment Board (SBWIB) provided the Youth Development Council Committee with a verbal presentation regarding the Insomniac Field Trip. Insomniac invited Inglewood and Hawthorne Teen Center youth to participate in an exclusive informational tour of HARD Summer 2024 at the SoFi Stadium on August 2, 2024. Six (6) youth primarily from Inglewood Unified School District participated in the tour and learned about the different entertainment occupations and career pathways available with Insomniac.

One-Stop Policy Committee Meeting, August 21, 2024:

The August 21, 2024, One-Stop Policy Committee meeting was called to order at 9:01 a.m. The following items were discussed or acted upon:

The One-Stop Policy Committee held an appeal hearing regarding training provider Caledonian’s “Hold” status on the State’s Eligible Training Provider List (ETPL) and the South Bay Workforce Investment Board’s (SBWIB) I-TRAIN Local Training Provider Directory. The SBWIB was instructed by the State to place the training provider on “Hold” due to the California Department of Insurance Fraud Division investigating and the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office filing charges against Caledonian’s Owner and President, William Frias. To appeal to the State, a training provider must first appeal on the local level with the Workforce Development Board that listed them on the ETPL. After hearing the appeal from Caledonian, the Committee unanimously denied the training provider’s appeal. The training provider will now be able to appeal on the State level if they wish to do so.

During the meeting, the Committee also held appeal hearings for California Career Institute and Intech College regarding the training providers being delisted from the ETPL and SBWIB I-TRAIN Local Training Provider Directory. The State instructed the SBWIB to delist these training providers due to their failure to have at least one Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) funded enrollment during the previous two program years.

Committee Meetings:

The Executive Committee approved all committee reports and meeting minutes this past quarter.

The 1st quarter Monthly Self-Service and Program Activity Reports were reviewed by the Committee and approved unanimously.

In August, the Executive Committee ratified the submission of the WIOA (Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act) Waivers for the on-the-job training program, and out-of-school youth expenditures. The Onthe-Job Training (OJT) Waiver allows the reimbursement of up to 90 percent of on-the-job training costs for businesses with 50 or fewer employees. The Out-of-School Youth (OSY) Expenditure Waiver decreases the out-of-school youth expenditure requirement from 75 percent to 50 percent which will allow for the expansion of programs for in-school youth in coordination with the SBWIB’s long standing education partners.

Last quarter, the Executive Committee ratified the One-Stop Policy Committee’s decision of upholding EDD’s decision of delisting California Career Institute and Intech College on the Eligible Training Provider List (ETPL) and placing Caledonian, Inc. on hold status.

In September, the Executive Committee ratified the AJCC (America’s Job Centers of California) Partner MOU between the SBWIB and Da Vinci Schools.

By Ron Sokol
I was emailed a press release that truly
caught my attention: South Bay Workforce
Investment Board Becomes the First Workforce
Board in the U.S. to Register Non-Traditional
Apprenticeship Program Nationally.

To be certain, the South Bay can take genuine pride as the home base of the Workforce Investment Board. So, let me share a bit about
this dedicated group:

The Board encompasses eleven cities: El
Segundo, Gardena, Hawthorne, Hermosa
Beach, Inglewood, Lawndale, Torrance,
Lomita, Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach,
and Carson. Over fty people are on the
Board, which for decades has embraced very
focused goals: “We will promote an innovative
workforce development system that supports
job retention and creation and accelerates
economic growth in the South Bay region.”
Now, the reach of the South Bay Workforce
Board has expanded to other locations across
the country.

Jan Vogel has been the Executive Director
of the Board for over forty years.I contacted
Jan and his colleague Chris Cagle, the Board’s
Director of Business Services and Apprenticeship. Excuse the metaphor, but for me, it was kind of like interviewing Babe Ruth and Lou
Gehrig at the same time. They, of course,
will nd that description way over the top.

Jan and Chris will say, very matter-of-factly:
“This is our job, Ron, it’s why we’re here…”
A few examples of the Board’s successes,
and then back to the first-in-the-nation
press release:

Over one thousand apprentices through the
South Bay Board were among those who
helped build the remarkable SoFi Stadium.

This multi-billion dollar structure has many
moving parts and now has quite an international
reputation. It is already a notably popular venue.

In addition, the Board has received two of
the largest federal national Emergency Grants
in history, each provided by the Department
of Labor. This led to training thousands of
laid-off workers, local residents, and youth to
get them back to work. Bottom line, when
times are tough -- think about when we have
suffered in recession or from Covid -- the
Board has strived mightily to be a safety net.

Further, through a contract with the Los
Angeles Department of Public Social Services,
the Board has provided Cal Works participants
with opportunities not just to get a job but
to stay employed and then achieve higher
pay. One of the Board’s consistent goals is
to foster self-sufciency and independence.

CalWorks, if you are not familiar with it,
means California Work Opportunity and
Responsibility to Kids Program. The Board
wants to and does help youth, particularly
those with limited resources.

And you may be familiar with the Board’s
One-Stop Business & Career Centers in
Gardena, Inglewood, Hathorne, and Carson.

These are aimed at helping to develop each
individual’s job skills, abilities, and attitudes.

The extent and breadth of job placements
through the One-Stop Centers are many and
speak for themselves.

So, then, to the press release about apprenticeships, which are also part of the Board’s bread and butter.

The Board’s Ofce Building 2024 Job Fair
Traditional apprenticeships are in elds
such as construction, building and trades,
and certain parts of the health care industry.

There are years of history there, but Jan
made it quite clear:
“The Governor set a goal to get 500,000 new
apprentices in 2029, and the President is even
more ambitious by making apprenticeship a
national priority. To get there, we cannot limit
the program to what have traditionally been
apprenticeship programs, such as electrical,
plumbing, framing, painting, and the like.

This is why we have developed a program
for almost any kind of occupation, which
businesses, big or small, can use to their
real benet. The focus is on attracting new
employees, training them, and for the business
to then be in a position to retain good workers.

As just one example, we can help by putting
together a template for manufacturing jobs.

Aero-Flex and Space-Flex were designed to
serve the aerospace sector but have become
a means of expanding apprenticeship models
nationwide. Through the non-traditional apprentice program, companies receive access to a pipeline of talented job seekers ready for
immediate employment in areas like advanced
manufacturing and engineering.”
Jan and Chris shared with me that the
Board decided to register its apprenticeships
nationwide. In part, this is because some local
companies have multiple locations, many
in other states. The time spent setting up a
program here can now scale to wherever they
do business. The non-traditional apprenticeship program allows the Board to support the efforts of employers to get people trained,
to get people in the pipeline working, and
to assist employers at multiple sites literally
across the USA.
“We don’t need a template for the traditional,” Jan explained. “The traditional apprentice programs already have great organizations,
but with non-traditional, we must help design
them. Non-traditional apprenticeship can be
just about anything, like manufacturing, as
well as maintenance and clerical.”
Chris chimed in: “We just completed a
grant where our goal was to provide ve
thousand individuals into non-traditional
apprenticeship programs, and very glad to
say we exceeded that gure.”
Hopefully, then, this column does an adequate job of explaining the press release which caught my attention. A press release
that rightly touts the success of the Board’s
non-traditional apprenticeship program. Also,
if you know a bit more about the South Bay
Workforce Investment Board, that could
benet you or someone you know. South
Bay residents can not only take real pride in
the Workforce Board, but some of you may
take or may help others to take advantage
of its great no-cost services. •

South Bay Workforce Investment Board
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE South Bay Workforce Investment Board 11539 Hawthorne Blvd., Suite 500
Hawthorne, CA 90250
September 16, 2024 Contact: Jan Vogel 310-970-7700
South Bay Workforce Investment Board Becomes the First Workforce Board in the U.S. to Register Non-Traditional Apprenticeship Program Nationally Hawthorne, CA – The South Bay Workforce Investment Board (SBWIB) has made history by becoming the first workforce board in the nation to register their non-traditional apprenticeship programs for national use. This milestone will allow SBWIB to support companies with apprenticeship programs that are scalable and transferable across all 50 states, helping businesses expand their skilled labor pool wherever they operate.

SBWIB Executive Director Jan Vogel hailed the achievement, stating, "We are excited to be at the forefront of this national effort. By registering our apprenticeship programs for nationwide use, we’re empowering businesses to develop their workforce more effectively and efficiently. This is a gamechanger for companies that have operations in multiple states, as it allows them to implement consistent, high-quality training across the board."
SBWIB partnered with California employers—Northrop Grumman, Joby Aero, Magnetika, Inc.—and the Institute for American Apprenticeship to launch three registered apprenticeships: Electronic Assembler, Aerospace Systems Assembler, and Aerospace Systems Technician. These partners recognize the value of an apprenticeship model that is flexible, scalable, and capable of meeting the dynamic needs of various industries. Partial funding for this initiative across California was provided by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Apprenticeship Building America (ABA) Grant awarded to SBWIB.

What is a Non-Traditional Apprenticeship?
Unlike traditional apprenticeship programs, which focus on skilled trades in construction or in public safety, non-traditional apprenticeships expand the model into high-growth sectors such as healthcare, information technology, aerospace, energy, and advanced manufacturing. These programs offer handson, industry-specific training that equips individuals with the practical skills needed for a wide variety of fields.
"Non-traditional apprenticeships provide customized, flexible training that addresses the specific needs of businesses," Vogel explained. "By offering a broad range of apprenticeships across different industries, we help companies develop their workforce in a way that aligns with their unique business goals while also creating meaningful career pathways for workers."
Benefits for Apprentices and Employers

Apprentices benefit from hands-on training that prepares them for real-world challenges, allowing them to develop skills that are directly applicable to their chosen careers. Upon completing the program, apprentices earn a nationally recognized certificate from the U.S. Department of Labor, opening doors to better job opportunities and higher earning potential.

For employers, non-traditional apprenticeship programs offer a cost-effective way to train both new hires and incumbent workers. They provide an opportunity to build a loyal, skilled workforce while improving productivity and retention rates. Companies also have the flexibility to tailor training to their specific needs, ensuring their employees stay ahead of industry trends.

One notable success story is the Aero-Flex and Space-Flex apprenticeship programs developed by SBWIB.

Originally designed to serve the aerospace sector, these programs have become a template for expanding apprenticeship models nationwide. Northrop Grumman has been a key partner, utilizing AeroFlex to address the skills gap in advanced manufacturing and engineering. Through the program, participating companies receive access to a pipeline of talented job seekers ready for immediate employment.

Non-traditional apprenticeship programs offer a unique and effective way to develop skilled labor. By investing in non-traditional apprenticeship programs, employers can develop a skilled and productive workforce that can help them achieve their business objectives.

National Reach and Strategic Partnerships
The SBWIB’s decision to register their apprenticeships for national use was driven by the needs of local California businesses, many of which operate across multiple states. "Companies told us they wanted to implement apprenticeships, but needed a solution that would work across state lines. Now, the apprenticeship programs we help them develop in California can be used wherever they do business across America," Vogel said.

This effort was further supported by SBWIB’s work under a White House Initiative which aims to develop a skilled technical workforce for the space industry. This effort began two years ago and from this initiative the national Space Workforce Coalition (SWC) was formed. [ https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2024/04/08/fact-sheet-vicepresident-kamala-harris-launches-call-to-action-to-bring-the-benefits-of-space-to-communities-acrossamerica/ ] The SWC brings together regional programs from across the country to collaborate on addressing workforce needs, particularly for underrepresented groups in STEM careers; especially for those that may not otherwise have access to these types of career paths and opportunities. SWC members lead regional programs in California, Colorado, Alabama, Florida’s Space Coast, the Gulf Coast of Louisiana and Mississippi. [ https://www.spaceworkforcecoalition.org/ ] The Southern California HUB is led by Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation (NGC) and the South Bay Workforce Investment Board. Coalition members, which includes NASA, collaborate with community colleges, employers, and many other partners on replicable and scalable approaches to attract, train and create employment opportunities.

Earlier this year, the work being done in California attracted the attention of the White House and the National Space Council, leading to a visit by Second Gentleman Douglas Emhoff during Women's History Month. He hosted the first-ever National Space Council Roundtable on Women in Space at the South Bay Workforce Investment Board's corporate offices in Hawthorne. [ https://www.nasa.gov/imagearticle/second-gentleman-douglas-emhoff-participates-in-women-in-space-roundtable/ ] These partnerships with NASA, Northrop Grumman, and other industry leaders are part of a larger strategy to make the U.S. a global leader in space exploration and technology. The SBWIB's nationally registered apprenticeship programs support this work.

The Future of Workforce Development
With the additional reach and flexibility provided by their nationally registered programs, SBWIB is poised to expand apprenticeships in a range of industries, including manufacturing, healthcare, energy, and the arts. The board’s continued focus on non-traditional apprenticeship programs is set to shape the future of workforce development across the U.S.
"Workforce development is key to economic growth," Vogel emphasized. "Our nationally registered apprenticeship programs not only help companies stay competitive, but they also provide individuals with the skills and opportunities needed to succeed in today’s evolving economy."

South Bay Workforce Investment Board Celebrates Upskilling of 531 Workers and Secures Addi�onal $726,810 for Employee Training Program
Hawthorne, CA—The South Bay Workforce Investment Board (SBWIB) is pleased to announce the successful comple�on of an employee training program that has upskilled 531 workers across the Southland, boos�ng produc�vity and advancing career opportuni�es. These workers, employed in industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, informa�on technology, and aerospace, are now earning an average wage of $43.50 per hour. The training ini�a�ves were funded by the State of California Employment Training Panel (ETP) and administered by SBWIB.

In recogni�on of the program’s posi�ve outcomes, ETP has awarded SBWIB an addi�onal $726,810 to extend the project for another two years. This new funding will allow SBWIB to con�nue partnering with employers to deliver targeted training that fosters innova�on, increases opera�onal efficiency, and empowers workers with new skills and advancement opportuni�es. "We’re thrilled, not only with the impact this program has had, but also with the new funding from ETP that will allow us to keep driving workforce development across key industries," said Jan Vogel, Execu�ve Director of SBWIB. "This extension gives us the opportunity to upskill even more workers, helping businesses grow, while ensuring employees have the skills they need to thrive in today’s economy." Cen�nela Hospital Praises SBWIB’s Employment Training Panel Grant Program Cen�nela Hospital Medical Center in Inglewood, CA, a key par�cipant in SBWIB’s Employment Training Panel (ETP) grant program, expressed deep apprecia�on for the support provided through the program. "The funding from SBWIB’s ETP grant has been instrumental in helping us train both our new hires and incumbent workers," said Mohammad Naser, CEO for the hospital. "This has allowed us to enhance the skills of our healthcare staff and ensure they are equipped to meet the demands of a constantly evolving healthcare environment. We are grateful for this partnership and look forward to con�nued collabora�on with SBWIB to further strengthen our workforce." The Airplane Factory Thrives with ETP Support
The Airplane Factory, based in Torrance, CA, has also seen benefits from SBWIB’s ETP grant program. "When we first joined the ETP program, we had only 30 employees. Today, we’ve grown to over 100," said Mat Liknaitzky, co-owner of The Airplane Factory. "This program has played an important part in our growth. With SBWIB’s support, we’ve been able to provide essen�al training to our Airframe and Powerplant mechanics and aircra� assembly workers, ensuring they maintain their skills and stay up-todate on the latest techniques. This has made our workforce more efficient and produc�ve, which has been cri�cal as we con�nue to expand. The ETP grant has been a vital tool in our growth and success." Page | 2
Training Fuels Growth and Career Advancement
Through the ini�al phase of the program, employees received training in cri�cal areas like healthcare, machine opera�ons, IT systems, cybersecurity, and advanced manufacturing techniques. As a result, par�cipa�ng companies have reported increased produc�vity and profitability. One partner, LeFiell Manufacturing company – an employee owned company, saw a 38% increase in employee training in 2023, directly contribu�ng to improved performance.

Many par�cipants have also advanced their careers as a result of the program. Numerous workers earned cer�fica�ons and promo�ons, including an hourly machine operator at LeFiell who was promoted to a Lead posi�on a�er comple�ng process and equipment training. Another success story involves an inspector who advanced to a Manufacturing Engineer role at LeFiell a�er receiving specialized training in inspec�on processes.

Impact Across Mul�ple Industries
ETP funding allowed SBWIB to partner with companies in various industries, tailoring training programs to address industry-specific needs. For example, LeFiell u�lized ETP support to train employees on enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, machine opera�ons, and inspec�on protocols. This training led to significant improvements in opera�onal efficiency.

Small businesses also benefited from the program. An automo�ve company used the funds to expand its Research and Development department and train its team in advanced automo�ve technology and engineering design, helping them stay compe��ve in a fast-changing market.

A key contributor to this project has been ‘Training Funding Partners’, whose exper�se and collabora�on with the SBWIB were instrumental in making the program successful, allowing SBWIB to enhance the impact of its training ini�a�ves and extend its reach to more businesses and workers across mul�ple industries.

Looking Ahead: Expanding the Reach of Workforce Development With the addi�onal $726,810 in funding from ETP, SBWIB will con�nue to provide valuable training opportuni�es over the next two years. These efforts will focus on expanding upskilling ini�a�ves in sectors where training has already proven highly effec�ve, ensuring that businesses and employees across California remain compe��ve and adaptable in the evolving economy. "Our collabora�on with ETP has been incredibly frui�ul, and we are excited about the next phase of the program," said Vogel. "The addi�onal funding will enable us to extend these training opportuni�es, fostering further growth for businesses and crea�ng more pathways for workers to advance in their careers."

Award of Purchase to All Traffic Solutions, Inc. for Construction and Delivery of Radar Trailers to be Used for Traffic Calming

BACKGROUND
As part of the 2024-2025 Fiscal Year budget, a line item was included for the purchase of radar trailers.

Radar trailers are designed to read the speed of oncoming vehicles and display that speed so that drivers can be aware of how fast they are traveling. Radar trailers also have the ability to display warning messages to drivers when vehicles are exceeding posted speed limits.

The City does not currently have a radar trailer, but staff believes that by purchasing radar trailers and posting them at specific locations where drivers are known to travel at excessive speeds, these trailers could have a calming effect on traffic, and encourage drivers to observe the posted speed limits.

STAFF REVIEW
Radar trailers vary in function, size and price but typically cost between $9,000 to $22,000 per trailer depending on the functions and size of the trailer. Due to their high costs, the City put out an RFP seeking bids from radar trailer manufacturers. The Request for Proposals (RFP) for the purchase of Radar Trailers was advertised on October 23
rd
, 2024.

All Traffic Solutions, Inc. and Kustom Signals, Inc. submitted proposals to the City Clerk’s office staff in accordance with the City bidding procedures.

The proposals received are listed in the table below.

A panel of City staff and LASD personnel including myself, Public Works Director Lucho Rodriguez, and LASD Sgt. Justin Smith reviewed both proposals according to the criteria outlined in the RFP rating system.

The categories reviewed are as follows:

1. Completeness of RFP Response

2. Experience with Proposed Equipment

3. Knowledge and Expertise of Company

4. Prior Relevant Experience

5. Total Project Cost
Following the evaluations of proposals, the panel choose All Traffic Solutions, Inc. as the option that would best serve the City.

All Traffic Solutions offered a winning bid of $25,081.82 for two (2) SpeedAlert 18 radar message signs and trailers for transporting them. The cost also includes a 3-year warranty, a one-year subscription to the All Traffic Solutions, Inc. App to assist staff with equipment management, remote reporting, alerts, mapping, and PremiereCare.

The radar sign also comes with a violator strobe light to alert drivers when they exceed posted limits, as well as a battery and 100 watt integrated solar panel.

Shipping costs and taxes are also included in this price. All Traffic Solutions stated that the construction and delivery of both of these units should take between four to six weeks once payment is approved.

LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney has reviewed this staff report and approves it as to form.

FISCAL REVIEW
Staff is requesting the amount of $25,081.82 to be paid to All Traffic Solutions for the purchase of two (2) SpeedAlert 18 radar message signs and trailers.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council approve this additional cost for the purchase of two (2) SpeedAlert 18 radar message signs and trailers.

SUBJECT:

Purchasing Policy Reorganization and Amendment to Authorize City Manager Purchases in Specified Situations

BACKGROUND
Over the past half-year, the City Manager has brought two items to the City Council for review and ratification. The first involved repairs to a security gate at a City Hall parking lot. The second involved repairs to City vehicles. Both situations involved contracts that were properly let according to the Municipal Code but which, once work was in process, wound up exceeding the contracting threshold. Technically speaking, each situation should have seen work come to a stop and then a higher level of contract procurement take place before work was completed. But in the context of the first situation it would have meant the security gate sat inoperable and blocking the driveway during procurement. And in the second situation it would have meant the vehicles sitting in one repair shop while bids from other repair shops were sought. In neither circumstance were the additional factors requiring a higher price known or knowable before work began and the equipment being serviced was taken apart.

In both circumstances, the City Manager relied on his inherent authority under Sections 3.08.040 and

3.08.050 of the Municipal Code to have work completed. He then brought the completed work to the attention of the City Council as an agenda item at a Council meeting for the sake of transparency and good government.

The primary changes to the City’s purchasing policy would clarify the situations, like the two recent ones, in which the City Manager has express authority from the Council to move forward with ongoing contracts instead of stopping and going to a higher level of procurement processes. The remaining changes to the policy were requested by City staff as a way to streamline and shorten the policy while retaining the substance of it. Items had been added over the years that could be combined for ease of use. This was done as part of the revision process.

STAFF REVIEW
The City Council is asked to review the redline and final versions of the revised purchasing policy and then adopt the changes. The changes will simplify portions of the policy while also granting the City Manager clear authority to act in situations of emergency and situations in which contractor estimates are exceeded by the actual cost of work being performed.

LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney’s office has prepared the proposed changes and approved them as consistent with the purchasing ordinance in the Municipal Code.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact as a result of this item.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council review the proposed changes and adopt Resolution No. CC-2409- 095 making the changes to the purchasing policy.

SUBJECT:

Purchasing Policy
POLICY NO.: 53-00 DATE ADOPTED:
10/2/00
6/25/18
11/5/18
10/18/21
AUTHORITY:

Resolution No. CC-0009-96
Resolution No. CC-1806-027
Resolution No. CC-1811-046
Resolution No. CC-2110-044
PURPOSE:

Lawndale Municipal Code (LMC) Section 3.08 establishes a complete legal framework for the purchasing system, elements of which are delineated in this Council Policy.

The purchasing system establishes procedures for the purchase of supplies, services and equipment; it secures acquisitions at the lowest possible price commensurate with quality required; it creates financial controls; it clearly defines authority for the purchasing function; and it seeks to ensure the quality of purchases.

POLICIES:

I. The City’s purchasing operation shall obtain goods, services, and contracts at the best quality and lowest price through an open, fair and competitive process.

II. Excluded from this Policy is the purchase of supplies, services and equipment that are included within the specification of a “Public Works” construction project. Such acquisitions are subject to the regulations contained in the California Public Contract Code.

III. The City Manager is the City’s purchasing officer and has ultimate administrative oversight of all purchases. The City Manager may delegate day to day administrative authority to the Finance Director to carry out all purchasing functions as Finance is the appropriate department for this measure.

IV. Exceptions to bidding for supplies and equipment may be permitted by the purchasing officer in the following situations: emergency, sole source, cooperative purchasing, or for fuel purchase, per LMC Section 3.08.110. Each exception must be documented in a writing signed by the purchasing officer.

V. Every procurement, whether by contract or otherwise must also include a payment voucher and purchase requisition initiated by the applicable department head.

VI. Whenever a funding source (i.e., special revenue funds, grants) imposes stricter purchasing requirements than the City’s purchasing regulations, the stricter requirements must be followed.

VII. The City utilizes local preference for purchases. Purchases from Lawndale vendors are strongly encouraged where competitive prices and quality exist. With all specifications Council Policy No. 53-00

and conditions equal except price, a preference will be given to in-Ccity vendors equal to 1% of the quoted price when General Fund monies are used. The rationale for the preference is that 1% of the sales tax on most acquisitions returns to the City’s General Fund as revenue.

engineering is a systematic and creative analysis of each contract item or task to ensure its essential function is provided at the overall lower cost.

9.6. The City will maintain records sufficient to detail the history of procurement.

These records will include, but are not necessarily limited to the following: rationale for the method of procurement, selection of contract type, contractor selection or rejection and the basis for the contract price.

10. The City will use time and material type contracts only:
a. After a determination is made that no other contract is suitable; and b. If the contract includes a ceiling price such that the contractor exceeds at their own risk.

11. The City alone will be responsible, in accordance with good administrative practice and sound business judgment, for the settlement of all contractual and administrative issues arising out of procurements including . These issues include, but are not limited to, source evaluation, protests, disputes, and claims. These standards do not relieve the City of any contractual responsibilities under its contracts.

C. Competition.

1. The City will conduct procurement transactions in a manner providing full and open competition. To ensure objective contractor performance and eliminate unfair competitive advantage, Ccontractors developing or drafting specifications, requirements, statements of work, or invitations for bids or requests for proposals are excluded from competing for such procurements.

2. The City will not use statutorily or administratively imposed in-state or local geographical preferences in the evaluation of bids or proposals, unless applicable Federal statutes expressly require or encourage geographic preference. When contracting for architectural and engineering (A/E) services, geographic location may be a selection criteria provided its application leaves an appropriate number of qualified firms, given the nature and size of the project, to compete for the contract.

3. All procurement solicitations must:
a. Incorporate a clear and accurate description of the technical requirements for the material, product, or service to be procured. Such description will not, in competitive procurements, contain features which unduly restrict competition. The description may include a statement of the qualitative nature of the material, product, or service to be procured, and when necessary, will set forth those minimum essential characteristics and standards to which it must conform if it is to satisfy its intended use. Detailed product specifications should be avoided. When it is impractical or uneconomical to make a clear and accurate description of the technical requirements, a brand name or equal description may be used to define the performance or other salient requirements of procurement. The specific features of the named brand which must be met by offerors will be clearly stated; and b. Identify all requirements which the offerors must fulfill and all other factors to be used in evaluating bids or proposals.

Commented [KS1]: This seems contradictory to the policy VII for local vendor preference on page 1 - however this is under the heading for “Federal Funding”
Council Policy No. 53-00

4. The City will ensure prequalified lists of persons, firms, or products that are used in acquiring goods and services are current and include enough qualified sources to ensure maximum open and free competition. The City will not preclude potential bidders from qualifying during the solicitation period.

D. Methods of Procurement to be followed. The City will use one of the following methods of procurement:

1. Procurement by Micro-Purchases - Federal Acquisition Regulation at 48 CFR Subpart 2.1 (Definitions). Procurement by micro-purchase is the
a. Aacquisition of supplies or services, the aggregate dollar amount of which does not exceed the micro-purchase threshold. as set by the Federal Acquisition Regulation at 48 CFR Subpart 2.1 (Definitions) and

1.b. Threshold amount adjusted periodically for inflation. As of the date of this policy, the micro-purchase threshold is $3,500.10,000

2. Procurement by Small Purchase Procedures - Federal Acquisition Regulation at 48 CFR Subpart 2.1 (Definitions); 41 U.S.C. 1908.
a. Small purchase procedures are relatively simple and informal procurement methods for securing services, supplies, or other property that do not cost more than the simplified acquisition threshold. as set by the Federal Acquisition Regulation at 48 CFR Subpart 2.1 (Definitions) and in accordance with 41 U.S.C. 1908 and
adjusted for inflation. If small purchase procedures are used, b. Pprice or rate quotations must be obtained from an adequate number of qualified sources.

2.c. As of the date of this policy, the simplified acquisition threshold is $2150,000, periodically adjusted for inflation. For purchases exceeding fifty thousand ($50,000), City Council approval is required.

3. Procurement by Sealed Bids (Formal Advertising). Bids are publicly solicited and a firmfixed-price contract (lump sum or unit price) is awarded to the responsible bidder whose bid, conforming to all the material terms and conditions of the invitation for bids, is the lowest in price.
a. For sealed bidding to be feasible, the following conditions should be present:
(1) A complete, adequate, and realistic specification or purchase description is available;
(2) Two or more responsible bidders are willing and able to compete effectively for the business; and
(3) The procurement lends itself to a firm-fixed-price contract and the selection of the successful bidder can be made principally based on price. b. If sealed bids are used, the following Rrequirements for sealed bidsapply:
(1) The invitation for bids will be publicly advertised and bids will be solicited from an adequate number of known suppliers, providing them sufficient time prior to the date set for opening the bids;
(2) The invitation for bids, which will include any specifications and pertinent attachments, will define the items or services for the bidder to properly respond;

Council Policy No. 53-00

(3) All bids will be publicly opened at the time and place prescribed in the invitation for bids;
(4) A firm-fixed-price contract award will be made in writing to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Where specified in bidding documents, factors such as discounts, transportation cost, and life cycle costs will be considered in determining which bid is lowest. Payment discounts will only be used to determine the low bid when prior experience indicates that such discounts are usually taken advantage of; and
(5) If there is a sound documented reason, any or all bids may be rejected.

4. Procurement by Competitive Proposals. The technique of competitive proposals is Nnormally conducted with more than one source submitting an offer, and either a fixedprice or cost-reimbursement type contract is awarded. It is generally used when conditions are not appropriate for the use of sealed bids. If this method is used, the following

4. Rrequirements for Competitive Proposalsapply:
a. Requests for proposals will be publicized and identify all evaluation factors including relative importance. Any response to publicized requests for proposals must be honored to the maximum extent practical;
b. Proposals will be solicited from an adequate number of qualified sources; c. The City will conduct technical evaluations of the proposals received. and for selecting awardees;
d. Awards will be made to the responsible firm whose proposal is most advantageous to the program, with price and other factors considered; and e. The City may use competitive proposal procedures for qualifications-based procurement of architectural/engineering (A/E) professional services whereby competitors’ qualifications are evaluated and the most qualified competitor is selected, subject to negotiation of fair and reasonable compensation. The method, where price is not used as a selection factor, can only be used in procurement of A/E professional services. It cannot be used to purchase other types of services though A/E firms are a potential source to perform the proposed effort.

5. Procurement by Noncompetitive Pproposals is procurement through solicitation of a proposal from only one source and may be used only when one or more of the following circumstances applies:
a. The item is available only from a single source;
b. The public exigency or emergency for the requirement will not permit a delay resulting from competitive solicitation;
c. The Federal awarding agency or pass-through entity expressly authorizes noncompetitive proposals in a written request from the City; or d. After solicitation of multiple sources, competition is determined inadequate.

6. Contracting with Small and Minority Businesses, Women’s Business Enterprises, and Labor Surplus Area Firms.
a. The City will take all necessary affirmative steps to assure that minority businesses, women’s business enterprises, and labor surplus area firms are used when possible. b. Affirmative steps include:

Formatted: Indent: Left: 0.31", No bullets or
numbering
Formatted: Underline
Formatted: Underline
Council Policy No. 53-00

(1) Placing qualified small and minority businesses and women’s business enterprises on solicitation lists;
(2) Assuring that small and minority businesses and women’s business enterprises are solicited whenever they are potential sources;
(3) Dividing total requirements, when economically feasible, into smaller tasks or quantities to permit maximum participation by small and minority businesses and women’s business enterprises;
(4) Establishing delivery schedules, where the requirement permits, which encourage participation by small and minority businesses and women’s business enterprises;
(5) Using the services and assistance, as appropriate, of such organizations as the Small Business Administration and the Minority Business Development Agency of the Department of Commerce; and
(6) Requiring the prime contractor, if subcontracts are to be let, to take the affirmative steps listed in subsections 6.b.(1) through (6) of this section.

7. Contracts Cost and Price.
a. The City will perform a cost or price analysis in every procurement action exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold including contract modifications.

The method and degree of analysis will be dependent on the facts surrounding each procurement situation. As a starting point, the City will make independent estimates before receiving bids or proposals.
b. Costs or prices based on estimated costs for contracts under the Federal award will be allowable only to the extent that costs incurred or cost estimates included in negotiated prices would be allowable for the City under Subpart E – Cost Principles of Title 2, Subtitle A, Part 200 (Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards). c. The cost plus a percentage of cost and percentage of construction cost methods of contracting will not be used.

8. Federal Awarding Agency or Pass-Through Entity Review. a. The City will make available, upon request of the Federal awarding agency or passthrough entity, technical specifications on proposed procurements where the Federal awarding agency or pass-through entity believes such review is needed to ensure that the item or service specified is the one being proposed for purchase. b. The City will make available upon request, for the Federal awarding agency or pass-through entity pre-procurement review, procurement documents, such as requests for proposal or invitations for bids, or independent cost estimates when:
(1) The City’s procurement procedures or operation fails to comply with the procurement standards of Title 2, Subtitle A, Part 200, Subsection 200.324; (2) The procurement is expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold and is to be awarded without competition or only one bid or offer is received in response to a solicitation;
(3) The procurement, which is expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold, specifies a “brand name” product;
(4) The proposed contract is more than the simplified acquisition threshold and is to be awarded to other than the apparent low bidder under a sealed bid procurement; or
Council Policy No. 53-00

(5) A proposed modification changes the scope of a contract or increases the contract amount by more than the simplified acquisition threshold. c. The City may be exempted from the pre-procurement review in subsection 8.b. above if the Federal awarding agency or pass-through entity determines that its procurement systems comply with the standards set forth in Title 2, Subtitle A, Part 200, or the City self-certifies compliance with such standards if self-certification is permitted by the Federal awarding agency or pass-through entity.

9. Bonding Requirements. The City will require bid guarantees, performance bonds, and payment bonds consistent with Title 2, Part 200, Section 200.325 of the Code of Federal Regulations.

10. Contract Provisions. The City’s contracts will contain the provisions in Appendix II to Title 2, Subtitle A, Part 200 – Contract Provisions for non-Federal Entity Contracts Under Federal Awards, as applicable.

SUBJECT: Amendment to Agreement for Public Works and City Hall Facility Needs Project

BACKGROUND
In May 2024, the City Council awarded the Public Works and City Hall Facility Needs Project to Developers General Contracting, Inc. to perform the Public Works and City Hall facilities upgrades.

The project consists of painting the interior and exterior of the buildings, replacing flooring, remodeling kitchens and shower rooms, ceiling and lighting to new standards, including updating the restrooms for ADA compliance and replacing the office furniture at both facilities.

STAFF REVIEW
The agreement was executed on April 6, 2024, since then, the contractor went through a company reorganization that changed the firm from a Limited Liability Company (LLC) to a corporation, Inc.

Additionally, the current agreement is set to expire on November 30, 2024, however, the work to be completed is extensive and additional time is needed. The agreement allows for the option to extend upon request.

Staff recommends that City Council approve the First Amendment to the Public Works & City Hall Facility Needs Project agreement to update the Contractors name to Developers General Contracting, Inc., and extend the agreement through September 15, 2025 to allow for the next 6 phases of the City Hall remodel and project close-out documentation preparation. Furthermore, there are no changes to the contract amount.

LEGAL REVIEW

SUBJECT:

Consideration of the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (ROPS) 2025-26 and the Administrative Budget for 2025-26

BACKGROUND
ABx1 26 ended redevelopment in California. That legislation, along with AB 1484, sets the rules and procedures for the dissolution of redevelopment agencies. Successor Agencies were created by ABx1 26 to settle the affairs of the dissolved redevelopment agencies.

Under current State law, successor agencies are annually provided with tax increment funds to pay the debts of the former redevelopment agencies. Successor agencies must prepare a recognized obligation payment schedule (“ROPS”) annually.

County auditor controllers use the ROPS to determine the amount of tax increment it will give to successor agencies for each annual ROPS period. After a successor agency prepares a ROPS, the payment schedule is reviewed and approved by the successor agency’s oversight board and then approved by the California Department of Finance (“DOF”).

In prior ROPS periods, the DOF and the Los Angeles County Consolidated Oversight Board for the Successor Agency for the Lawndale Redevelopment Agency have approved the ROPS described below and the Los Angeles County Auditor Controller has provided the funding required for the obligations listed in the following schedules:
1 st ROPS (January 1, 2012 to June 30, 2012)
2 nd ROPS (July 1, 2012 to December 31, 2012)
3 rd ROPS (January 1, 2013 to June 30, 2013)
ROPS 13-14A (July 1, 2013 to December 31, 2013)
ROPS 13-14B (January 1, 2014 to June 30, 2014)
ROPS 14-15A (July 1, 2014 to December 31, 2014)
ROPS 14-15B (January 1, 2015 to June 30, 2015)
ROPS 15-16A (July 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015)
ROPS 15-16B (January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016)
ROPS17-18A (July 1, 2016 to December 31, 2016)
ROPS 17-18 (July 1, 2017 to June 30, 2018)
ROPS 18-19 (July 1, 2018 to June 30, 2019)
ROPS 19-20 (July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020)
ROPS 20-21 (July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021)
ROPS 21-22 (July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022)
ROPS 22-23 (July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023)
ROPS 23-24 (July 1, 2023 to June 30,2024)
ROPS 24-25 (July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025)

STAFF REVIEW
The next ROPS 25-26 (July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026) must be submitted to the DOF by February 1, 2025, after approval by the Oversight Board. The Successor Agency staff has prepared the attached ROPS 25-26, which the Successor Agency is expected to submit ROPS 25-26 to the Oversight Board to allow the Oversight Board to consider this ROPS at it January 15, 2024 meeting. Hence, staff recommends that the Successor Agency submit the proposed ROPS to the Oversight Board, ultimately for submission to the DOF, in order to meet the February 1, 2025 deadline.

Along with the ROPS, an administrative budget must be approved by the Oversight Board and DOF for the July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026 period (see Attachment B). In this vein, the ROPS 25-26 lists the following Successor Agency obligations:

1. Bond Debt Service – debt service payment for the Redevelopment Agency’s 2009 bonds.

2. California I-Bank – debt service payment for the California Infrastructure Bank loan that was used to improve Hawthorne Boulevard.

3. Successor Agency Staff and Supplies (Administrative Allowances) – Fund for staff and supplies needed to operate the Successor Agency.

4. Successor Agency Audit – Funding for the preparation of the annual Successor Agency Audit.

5. Repayment of Loans to the City of Lawndale – The former Redevelopment Agency borrowed funds from the City. Beginning with the ROPS 14-15B, the Successor Agency began repaying those loans to the City.

6. Repayment of Debt to the Housing Fund – The former Redevelopment Agency owed money to its low and moderate income housing fund. The Successor Agency will receive tax increment to pay the housing fund debt. The Lawndale Housing Authority will receive the funding and use it to create affordable housing.

Staff also requests that the Successor Agency authorize staff to change the ROPS 25-25 and/or the Administrative Budget if needed to satisfy any last minute requests of changes from the DOF.

LEGAL REVIEW
The Successor Agency’s General Counsel has reviewed the attached resolutions and approved them as to form.

FISCAL IMPACT
None.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Successor Agency:

1. Approve and direct staff to submit to the Los Angeles County Oversight Board and California Department of Finance the ROPS 25-26 and Administrative Budget FY 2025-26, and

2. Authorize staff to make any changes requested by the DOF.

DATE: December 2, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Sean M. Moore, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Peter Kann, Interim Planning Manager MBI Consultant SUBJECT: Contractor Transparency

BACKGROUND
In Fiscal Year 2023-2024, the City's Building and Safety Division issued 1,134 permits in the 12 month period averaging 94.5 permits per month. The City fosters a culture of accountability for issuance of permits and building and safety field inspections. The California Contractors State License Board (CSLB) maintains a database of disciplinary actions against contractors. This information is available to the public and can be used to check a contractor's license status and disciplinary history.

The Mayor has requested staff to review our building and safety policies to ensure property owners are aware of contractor's past CSLB disciplinary history. The City desires to require contractors to disclose their current license status and disciplinary history for the past five years. Common violations are work without a permit, not maintaining required workers compensation, improper design and construction methods, and asking for a down payment greater than $1,000 or 10% of the contract's value.

STAFF REVIEW
If the policy is implemented, a person applying for a construction permit for a Project will be required to disclose if they have any negative disciplinary actions from the CSLB. Shown below is the draft language that will be added to all of the City's application forms for Building, Electrical, Mechanical, Plumbing, Sewer, and Misc Permits.

CITY’S TRANSPARENCY POLICY FOR CONTRACTORS:

1. Do you have any negative disciplinary actions from the CSLB for the past five years? CASE NUMBER AND REASON(S):

DATE:

PROPERTY OWNER SIGNATURE:

DATE:

If a violation is revealed, the City will ask for the property owner's signature acknowledging that they are aware of the disciplinary history prior to issuing the applicable permits.

As a matter of information about the Department's current procedures, the contracted permit technician checks the California State License Board for past and current disciplinary actions based upon the contractor's license number as well as ensuring that each contractor has the required workers compensation liability insurance prior to the issuance of any permits.

LEGAL REVIEW
None required.

FISCAL IMPACT
None.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council

1. Consider the Contractor Transparency Policy and direct staff to update the City's forms to implement the policy; or

2. Provide further direction to staff.
