1 CITY OF LOMITA

CITY COUNCIL REPORT
TO: City Council Item No. 7d
FROM: Andrew Vialpando, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Frederic Aboujaoude, P.E., Principal Engineer REVIEWED BY: Carla Dillon, P.E., Public Works Director
MEETING DATE: June 4, 2024
SUBJECT: Resolution Adopting a Project List for FY 2024-2025 Funded by the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (SB 1)

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution and authorize the City Manager or his designee to complete, sign, and submit all required documentation for receipt of Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) funds to the appropriate State and other agencies.

BACKGROUND
On April 28, 2017, the Governor signed into law Senate Bill 1, which is known as the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017. SB 1 increased per gallon fuel excise taxes (12 cents), diesel fuel sales taxes (20 cents), and vehicle registration fees; and provides for inflationary adjustments in future years. A percentage of this funding is deposited into the RMRA account and is apportioned by formula to eligible cities and counties pursuant to Streets and Highways Code (SHC) Section 2032(h) for basic road maintenance, rehabilitation, and critical safety projects on the local streets and roads system. Lomita’s estimated RMRA amount for FY 2024-2025 is $535,827. In addition, the City expects to have unspent RMRA money from FY 2023-24 amounting to $1,670,518.

To be eligible for RMRA funding, the statute requires cities and counties to provide basic annual RMRA project reporting to the California Transportation Commission (CTC). Prior to receiving an apportionment of RMRA funds, a city or county must adopt by resolution a list of projects to be funded with RMRA funds and submit it to the CTC annually by July 1 st
. The project list must include a project description, location, estimated start and completion date, and estimated useful life of the improvement.

June 4, 2024, Reg. CC Mtg., Page # 25

This includes asphalt rubber hot mix overlay, hot-mixed asphalt concrete overlay, or removal of the existing pavement section to a prescribed depth followed by the placement of a conventional flexible pavement section using a structural hot mix or a full depth asphalt where needed based on the City’s 2020 Pavement Management Plan update. The project includes the upgrade of all curb ramps to meet current ADA requirements, pavement markings and pavement striping.

CITY COUNCIL
REPORT
TO: City Council
FROM: Andrew Vialpando, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Laura MacMorran, Associate Planner
REVIEWED BY: Brianna Rindge, Community and Economic Development Director MEETING DATE: June 4, 2024
SUBJECT: Second Reading and Adoption of Ordinance No. 861 for Zoning Map Amendment No. 2024-01, and Zoning Text Amendment No. 2024-03, for 24925-25007 Walnut Street (APNs: 7375-015-901, 7375-015-902, 7375-015-903, and 7375-015-904

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt ordinance and find the project exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

BACKGROUND
On May 21, 2024, the City Council introduced on first reading an ordinance changing 24925-25007 Walnut Street’s zoning map designation from R-1 Single Family Residential to the “Lomita Manor Specific Plan”, adding the “Lomita Manor Specific Plan” into the body of the Municipal Code within Title XI (Planning and Zoning), Chapter 1 (Zoning) Part 2 (Establishment of Zones), creating a new Article 28, and finding the project exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act. This agenda item is to approve the second reading and adoption of the ordinance.

FISCAL IMPACT
These legislative amendments will not create additional revenue or additional expenses.

California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
Section 15061(b)(3) states that CEQA applies only to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. There is no significant impact on the environment because no new in-fill construction is proposed with the project. Also, Section 15301 (Existing Facilities) of the CEQA guidelines finds that a project consisting of permitting, leasing, licensing, or no expansion of existing or former use is exempt from Item No. 7e
June 4, 2024, Reg. CC Mtg., Page # 31
2 CEQA. This is limited to a change in the land use and zoning designations to be consistent with the existing affordable housing development and provide objective development standards where none exist, effectively a retroactive entitlement. The site is almost entirely built out and is identified in the Housing Element as an affordable housing site. The nature of the zoning amendments and General Plan Land Use amendment correspond directly to permitting’s purpose, which is to allow an activity, use, or structure. Furthermore, no new building is proposed; only the site’s use and existing building design standards will be legitimized by approval of the applications.

OPTIONS

1. Approve the attached ordinance.

2. Do not approve the ordinance.

3. Provide staff with further direction.

ORDINANCE NO. 861

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LOMITA, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING: (1) ZONING MAP AMENDMENT 2024-01 TO CHANGE THE ZONING DESIGNATION FROM R-1 SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL TO THE LOMITA MANOR SPECIFIC PLAN; (2) ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT 2024-03 AMENDING LOMITA MUNICIPAL CODE
TITLE XI (PLANNING AND ZONING), CHAPTER 1 (ZONING), PART 2 (ESTABLISHMENT OF ZONES) TO CREATE ARTICLE 28 THE “LOMITA MANOR SPECIFIC PLAN” FOR 24925-25007 WALNUT STREET (APNs 7375-015-901, 7375-015-902, 7375-015-903, AND 7375-015-904); AND (3) A DETERMINATION THAT THE PROJECT IS CATEGORICALLY

EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
(CEQA)

THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LOMITA DOES HEREBY FIND, ORDER, AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:

Section 1. Recitals.

A. The City Council of the City of Lomita has considered an application for (1) Zoning Map Amendment (ZMA) No. 2024-01 for an amendment to the City’s Zoning Map from R-1 to the Lomita Manor Specific Plan, and (2) Zone Text Amendment (ZTA) No. 2024-03 to create the Lomita Manor Specific Plan requirements, and approved a resolution for General Plan Amendment No. 2024-01 for the property located at 24925-25007 Walnut Street (APNs 7375-015-901, 7375-015-902, 7375-015-903, and 7375-015-904). Initiated and filed by The City of Lomita (“Applicant”).

B. Chapter 1 of Title XI of the Lomita Municipal Code establishes allowable uses and development standards of properties within all zoning districts in the city.

C. The City desires to amend Title XI of the Lomita Municipal Code to create consistency between the present single-family zoning designation and the existing multifamily use.

D. On May 13, 2024, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on Zoning Map Amendment 2024-01, Zoning Text Amendment No. 2024-03, and General Plan Amendment 2024-01 where public testimony was accepted on the item and recommended City Council approval.

E. On May 21, 2024, City Council held a duly noticed public hearing to consider the proposed map and text amendments regarding the establishment of the Lomita Manor Specific Plan and objective development standards for the site.

Section 2. General Plan Consistency
Attachment No. 1
June 4, 2024, Reg. CC Mtg., Page # 33
Ordinance No. 861

Page 2 of 9 ends

This Ordinance’s amendments to Title XI of the Lomita Municipal Code are consistent with, and in furtherance of, the City’s adopted General Plan as they effectuate the following Policies of the General Plan.

A. Land Use Element Policy 10 promotes improvement of the community’s aesthetic and visual qualities by implementing development standards for private improvements. The proposed amendment establishes standards for the proposed specific plan area in accordance with existing development.

B. Housing Element Policy 1.2 seeks to preserve and rehabilitate housing for lower income households. By correcting the inconsistency between the R-1 SingleFamily zoning designation and the properties’ multifamily use, the nonconforming status, which can hinder reinvestment, will be removed.

C. Housing Element Policy 3.1 commits the City to prioritize the identification of sites and zones to accommodate Lomita’s fair share of the existing and future housing need. As this amendment pertains to affordable multifamily residential use, it demonstrates the City’s prioritization of accommodating Lomita’s fair share of housing.

D. Housing Element Program 14 directs the City to increase transparency and certainty in the development process by creating objective design standards. The proposed specific plan establishes objective development standards and thereby achieves transparency.

Section 3. Environmental Review
The City Council finds and determines that the adoption of this Ordinance regarding changing the zoning text and map and creating a specific plan is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, which states that CEQA applies only to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. The Ordinance will not have a significant effect on the environment because no new construction is proposed with this request and it can be seen with certainty that any new project under the same development standards of the proposed specific plan would be relatively small in comparison to and proportional to the existing development and not have a significant effect on the environment.

In addition, pursuant to Section 15301 (Existing Facilities) of the CEQA guidelines, a project that consists of permitting, leasing, licensing, or no expansion of existing or former use is exempt from CEQA. This project is limited to a change in the land use and zoning designations to be consistent with the existing affordable housing development and provide objective development standards where none exist. The site, identified in the Housing Element as an affordable housing site, is almost entirely built-out. The nature of the zoning amendments and General Plan Land Use designation change correspond directly to permitting’s purpose, which is to allow an activity, use, or structure to match June 4, 2024, Reg. CC Mtg., Page # 34
Ordinance No. 861

existing conditions. Furthermore, this action does not approve any new buildings or structures; taking this action only legitimizes the site’s use and existing building design.

CITY COUNCIL REPORT
TO: City Council
FROM: Andrew Vialpando, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Montserrate Gastelum, Administrative Assistant MEETING DATE: June 4, 2024
SUBJECT: Amendment No. 1 to Agreement No. 2021-28 with Michael Baker International

RECOMMENDATION
Approve the First Amendment to Agreement No. 2021-28 with Michael Baker International, extending the term of the agreement until June 30, 2027.

BACKGROUND
The City of Lomita originally entered into an agreement with Michael Baker International on July 6, 2021, for federal Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) consulting services. The initial term of this agreement is set to expire on July 6, 2024. The agreement outlined a compensation structure for the services provided by Michael Baker International.

Michael Baker International has been responsible for administering the Residential Rehabilitation Lifeline Personal Response Service and Job Creation & Business Incentive Loan Program CDBG programs. Given the ongoing need for these services and the effective management demonstrated by the consultant, the City and Michael Baker International are mutually interested in amending the existing agreement.

The proposed First Amendment extends the term of the agreement and increases the compensation to reflect the expanded scope of services and the continued support required for the City's programs.

The amendment would also increase the services they have provided on-call assistance and general administration of the Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) program.

Item No. 7f
June 4, 2024, Reg. CC Mtg., Page # 43

FISCAL IMPACT
The terms in the Agreement are dependent on funding amounts per year. With the administrative tasks associated with the PLHA and CDBG funding the annual grant funded administrative cost to Michael Baker International would average approximately $68,000 annually for the next three years.

CITY OF LOMITA

CITY COUNCIL REPORT
TO: City Council
FROM: Andrew Vialpando, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Deborah Dixon, Human Resources Manager
MEETING DATE: June 4, 2024
SUBJECT: Agreement with Koff & Associates to Provide Executive Recruitment Services for Public Works Director and Community and Economic Development Director; and an Agreement with Willdan for CIP/Water-Related Project Management and Public Works
Operational Analysis and Revision of the Public Works Director Job Classification Specifications

RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the City Manager to enter into an agreement with Koff & Associates for Executive Recruitment Services for an amount not to exceed $48,000; approve the revised Public Works Director Job Classification Specifications; and authorize the City Manager to enter into an agreement with Willdan to provide CIP/Water-Related Project Management and Public Works Operational Analysis in an amount not to exceed $65,688.

DISCUSSION
The City’s incumbent Public Works Director recently submitted their resignation, effective June 7, 2024. Additionally, the Community and Economic Development Director has also resigned, effective July 26, 2024.

Staff recommends that the City retain the services of a consulting firm with executive recruiting experience to attract, evaluate, and recommend top candidates for the positions of Public Works Director and Community and Economic Development Director. After receiving and reviewing several proposals from various recruiting firms, staff is confident that Koff & Associates has the necessary skills and expertise to successfully recruit a new Public Works Director and a Community and Economic Development Director. Koff & Associates is a recruitment firm with over 38 years of experience in recruiting executive level talent. Koff & Associates previously conducted the city’s compensation and classification study in 2022.

Item No. 7g
June 4, 2024, Reg. CC Mtg., Page # 48
Koff & Associates has successfully filled various executive level positions for over 100 local government agencies and special districts throughout the state. Their work includes executive and mid-management recruitment and classification and compensation studies. Koff & Associates’ recruiters possess the knowledge and experience to assist the City in identifying, targeting, and recruiting highly qualified candidates for the City of Lomita. Their recruiters have a combined 93 years of recruiting experience in both the public and private sector and pride themselves in transparency, flexibility, and quality work.

Should the City Council approve the attached agreement, Koff & Associates is ready to commence the process of searching for a Public Works Director and a Community and Economic Development Director immediately. It is anticipated the recruitment process will take approximately 12 to 14 weeks to complete. If the City is unsuccessful in finding a replacement candidate, Koff and Associates will work to find a new slate of candidates at no added cost, except advertising. Additionally, should the incumbent leave the position or be terminated from employment within 12 months of hire due to performance issues, Koff & Associates will commit to conducting a one-time additional executive search to identify a replacement and only charge related expenses as described in the pricing proposal would be incurred.

Update to the Public Works Director Job Classification
Historically, the City has employed Public Works Directors with Professional Engineer (PE) licenses from the State. For the past several years, cities across the state have had difficulty in recruiting for this position, a challenge which has been confirmed by the executive recruiting firms that were consulted for this task. One of the reasons for the difficulty in recruiting for Public Works Directors with PE certification is due to the highly technical and narrow specifications of the classification. It is becoming more common for municipal agencies to employ a non-PE Public Works administrators who serve more as project managers over general areas, including capital improvement projects and personnel. Modifying the specifications of the Public Works Director job classification candidate to remove PE as a requirement will expand the pool of qualified candidates, resulting in a high probability of a successful recruitment. Therefore, staff recommends that the specifications for the Public Works Director job classification be amended to remove the requirement for a PE and reduce the minimum work experience from ten years to eight years and management experience from five years to three years.

Public Works Capital Improvement Project Assistance
With the departure of the Public Works Director, there is a need to keep current capital improvement projects moving along, particularly the Cypress Water Production Facility GAC project and other critical street/water CIPs. It is recommended that the City retain the services of Willdan, a highly qualified engineering firm, to provide CIP/Wate-related project management for a period of approximately three months. Their scope of work will also include an efficiency assessment of the Public Works Department’s operations.

June 4, 2024, Reg. CC Mtg., Page # 49

FISCAL IMPACT
Consultant costs to conduct an executive recruitment for both a Public Works Director and a Community and Economic Development Director are not to exceed $48,000 ($24,000 for each). This fee includes all professional services and expenses, including brochure development and design, advertising, printing and shipping, associated consultant travel if required, and background. A discount of $2,000 was provided to conduct two recruitments.

The Agreement with Willdan for CIP/Water-Related Project Management and Public Works Operational Analysis is for an amount not to exceed $65,688 and would be funded from general/water fund surplus within the Public Works Department budget.

CC Mtg., Page # 53

Page 4 of 11 ends

attorneys fees, expert fees and all other costs and fees of litigation.

CONSULTANT shall promptly pay any final judgment rendered against CITY (and its officers, officials, employees and volunteers) covered by this indemnity obligation. It is expressly understood and agreed that the foregoing provisions are intended to be as broad and inclusive as is permitted by the law of the State of California and will survive termination of this Agreement.

B. The requirements as to the types and limits of insurance coverage to be maintained by CONSULTANT as required by Section 18, and any approval of said insurance by CITY, are not intended to and will not in any manner limit or qualify the liabilities and obligations otherwise assumed by CONSULTANT pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, to the provisions concerning indemnification.

CONSULTANT will be free to contract for similar service to be performed for other employers while under contract with CITY. CONSULTANT is not an agent or employee of CITY and is not entitled to participate in any pension plan, insurance, bonus or similar benefits CITY provides for its employees.

18. INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS.

A. CONSULTANT, at CONSULTANT’s own cost and expense, shall procure and maintain, for the duration of the contract, the following insurance policies:

1. Workers Compensation Insurance as required by law. CONSULTANT shall require all subconsultants similarly to provide such compensation insurance for their respective employees. Any notice of cancellation or non-renewal of all Workers’ Compensation policies must be received by CITY at least thirty (30) days prior to such change. The insurer shall agree to waive all rights of subrogation against CITY, its officers, agents, employees, and volunteers for losses arising from work performed by CONSULTANT for CITY.

2. General Liability Coverage. CONSULTANT shall maintain commercial general liability insurance in an amount of not less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence for bodily injury, personal injury, and property damage. If a commercial general liability insurance form or other form with a general aggregate limit is used, either the general aggregate limit shall apply separately to the work to be performed under this Agreement or the general aggregate limit shall be at least twice the required occurrence limit.

3. Automobile Liability Coverage. CONSULTANT shall maintain automobile liability insurance covering bodily injury and property damage for all activities of CONSULTANT arising out of or in connection with the work to be performed under this Agreement, including coverage for owned, hired, and non-owned vehicles, in an amount of not less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) combined single limit for each occurrence.

4. Professional Liability Coverage. CONSULTANT shall maintain professional errors and omissions liability insurance for protection against claims alleging negligent acts, errors, or omissions which may arise from CONSULTANT’S operations under this Agreement, whether such operations be by CONSULTANT or by its employees, subconsultants, or subconsultants. The amount of this insurance shall not be less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) on a claims-made annual aggregate basis, or a combined single-limit-per-occurrence basis. When coverage is provided on a “claims made basis,” CONSULTANT will continue to renew the insurance for a period of three (3) years after this Agreement expires or is terminated.

Such insurance will have the same coverage and limits as the policy that was in effect during the term of this Agreement, and will cover CONSULTANT for all claims made by CITY arising out of any errors or omissions of CONSULTANT, or its officers, employees or agents during the June 4, 2024, Reg. CC Mtg., Page # 55

Page 6 of 11 ends

time this Agreement was in effect.

B. Endorsements. Each general liability, automobile liability and professional liability insurance policy shall be issued by a financially responsible insurance company or companies admitted and authorized to do business in the State of California, or which is approved in writing by CITY, and shall be endorsed as follows. CONSULTANT also agrees to require all CONSULTANTs, and subconsultants to do likewise.

1. “The CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers are to be covered as additional insureds with respect to liability arising out of work performed by or on behalf of the CONSULTANT, including materials, parts, or equipment furnished in connection with such work or operations.”

2. This policy shall be considered primary insurance as respects CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers.

Any insurance maintained by CITY, including any self-insured retention CITY may have, shall be considered excess insurance only and shall not contribute with this policy.

3. This insurance shall act for each insured and additional insured as though a separate policy had been written for each, except with respect to the limits of liability of the insuring company.

4. The insurer waives all rights of subrogation against CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, or agents.

5. Any failure to comply with reporting provisions of the policies shall not affect coverage provided to CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, agents, or volunteers.

6. The insurance provided by this policy shall not be suspended, voided, canceled, or reduced in coverage or in limits except after thirty (30) days’ written notice has been received by CITY.

C. CONSULTANT agrees to provide immediate notice to CITY of any claim or loss against CONSULTANT arising out of the work performed under this agreement.

CITY assumes no obligation or liability by such notice, but has the right (but not the duty) to monitor the handling of any such claim or claims if they are likely to involve CITY.

D. Any deductibles or self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by CITY. At CITY’s option, CONSULTANT shall demonstrate financial capability for payment of such deductibles or self-insured retentions.

E. CONSULTANT shall provide certificates of insurance with original endorsements to CITY as evidence of the insurance coverage required herein.

June 4, 2024, Reg. CC Mtg., Page # 56

Page 7 of 11 ends

Certificates of such insurance shall be filed with CITY on or before commencement of performance of this Agreement. Current certification of insurance shall be kept on file with CITY at all times during the term of this Agreement.

F. Failure on the part of CONSULTANT to procure or maintain required insurance shall constitute a material breach of contract under which CITY may terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 12 above.

G. The commercial general and automobile liability policies required by this Agreement shall allow CITY, as additional insured, to satisfy the self-insured retention (“SIR”) and/or deductible of the policy in lieu of the CONSULTANT (as the named insured) should CONSULTANT fail to pay the SIR or deductible requirements. The amount of the SIR or deductible shall be subject to the approval of the City Attorney and the Finance Director. CONSULTANT understands and agrees that satisfaction of this requirement is an express condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement. Failure by CONSULTANT as primary insured to pay its SIR or deductible constitutes a material breach of this Agreement. Should CITY pay the SIR or deductible on CONSULTANT’S behalf upon CONSULTANT’S failure or refusal to do so in order to secure defense and indemnification as an additional insured under the policy, CITY may include such amounts as damages in any action against CONSULTANT for breach of this Agreement in addition to any other damages incurred by CITY due to the breach.

19. USE OF OTHER CONSULTANTS. CONSULTANT must obtain CITY’s prior written approval to use any CONSULTANTs while performing any portion of this Agreement. Such approval must include approval of the proposed CONSULTANT and the terms of compensation.

20. FINAL PAYMENT ACCEPTANCE CONSTITUTES RELEASE. The acceptance by the CONSULTANT of the final payment made under this Agreement shall operate as and be a release of CITY from all claims and liabilities for compensation to the CONSULTANT for anything done, furnished or relating to the CONSULTANT’S work or services. Acceptance of payment shall be any negotiation of CITY’S check or the failure to make a written extra compensation claim within ten (10) calendar days of the receipt of that check. However, approval or payment by CITY shall not constitute, nor be deemed, a release of the responsibility and liability of CONSULTANT, its employees, sub-CONSULTANTs and agents for the accuracy and competency of the information provided and/or work performed; nor shall such approval or payment be deemed to be an assumption of such responsibility or liability by CITY for any defect or error in the work prepared by CONSULTANT, its employees, sub-CONSULTANTs and agents.

21. CORRECTIONS. In addition to the above indemnification obligations, the CONSULTANT shall correct, at its expense, all errors in the work which may be disclosed during CITY’S review of CONSULTANT’S report or plans. Should the June 4, 2024, Reg. CC Mtg., Page # 57

Page 8 of 11 ends

CONSULTANT fail to make such correction in a reasonably timely manner, such correction shall be made by CITY, and the cost thereof shall be charged to CONSULTANT. In addition to all other available remedies, CITY may deduct the cost of such correction from any retention amount held by CITY or may withhold payment otherwise owed CONSULTANT under this Agreement up to the amount of the cost of correction.

22. NON-APPROPRIATION OF FUNDS. Payments to be made to CONSULTANT by CITY for services preformed within the current fiscal year are within the current fiscal budget and within an available, unexhausted fund. In the event that CITY does not appropriate sufficient funds for payment of CONSULTANT’S services beyond the current fiscal year, the Agreement shall cover payment for CONSULTANT’S only to the conclusion of the last fiscal year in which CITY appropriates sufficient funds and shall automatically terminate at the conclusion of such fiscal year.

This strategy also includes focused advertising on websites and in publications specific to women and minority candidates.

RECRUITMENT SERVICES FOR CITY OF LOMITA
10 Step 1: Ideal Candidate Profile
Developing the profile for the ideal job candidate for the position is crucial for a successful search process.

We will coordinate with the City in identifying and developing:
 The various organizational needs, vision, mission, goals, strengths, challenges, opportunities, and culture of the organization;
 Position competency requirements, i.e., knowledge, skills, and abilities;  Personal and professional attributes required of and priorities for the new incumbent;  Type of working relationship senior leadership desire with the new incumbent;  Advertising strategies in conjunction with a national and/or regional outreach campaign;  Compensation levels; and
 Schedule of deliverables from K&A.

After meeting(s) with the City, there will be a consensus of the key qualifications and characteristics of the position and the process, action plan, and timetable to be utilized for the recruitment process.

Brochure Design & Posting
Following the development of the candidate profile, an eye-catching recruitment brochure will be professionally produced in coordination with the City’s feedback. The brochure will highlight the strengths of the City of Lomita and the surrounding community. The brochure will feature the organizational structure and services of the City, its mission and goals, pertinent facts regarding the position, and necessary and desirable candidate qualifications.

Step 2: Five Week Window of Application & Sourcing
K&A can, at the request of the City, facilitate community surveys or community outreach forums to encourage feedback from residents. A report of resident comments will be provided to the City prior to first-round interviews.

Our effort will include a variety of activities designed to build the best available candidate pool. Our techniques and methodologies allow us to source from extensive pools of potential candidates and referral sources.

In coordination with the City, K&A will:
 Identify prospects;
 Provide each potential candidate with access to the recruitment brochure;  Capture interested candidates in our recruitment project database; and  Provide representative data to the City, including candidate documents, interview notes, and an outline of the recruitment process.

June 4, 2024, Reg. CC Mtg., Page # 74

RECRUITMENT SERVICES FOR CITY OF LOMITA
11 Step 3: Recommendation of Candidates
K&A will provide the City with a report of the leading candidates to further narrow the pool to the most highly qualified and establish the best organizational fit of each potential finalist. This screening process is specifically designed to assess the personal and professional attributes the City has identified and will focus on each candidate’s ability, technical competency, and fit with the City’s values, culture, and needs. Our assessment will consist of:
 Experience and qualifications;
 Cultural fit based on our understanding of essential intangibles;  Clarity of any issues identified in the submitted documents;  Reasons for position interest,
 The level of commitment to the position and the organization; and  Other issues, including salary requirements.

Step 4: Interview Facilitation
We will advise and develop interviewing strategies and a menu of questions that will help analyze candidates’ qualifications and management/work styles. We will facilitate all necessary communications with the City and candidates to ensure everyone is well prepared.

Interview questions will elicit information about each candidate’s technical skill set, experience, leadership skills, adaptability, political astuteness, self-awareness, and other important aspects of the ideal candidate profile.

Questions, evaluation tools, and additional materials will be assembled in intuitive and user-friendly interview packets. We will use evaluation criteria agreed to by the City.

The Project Manager will coordinate interviews, interview schedules, and finalize the process. We will provide oversight during the panel interview process and facilitate a focused discussion with the City at the beginning and conclusion of the interviews to identify the most qualified candidate(s) for final interviews.

Step 5: Background, References, and Offer
K&A provides a thorough and quality reference and background check process for our clients. We start by calling candidates’ employment and professional references and having an in-depth discussion, covering their strongest business characteristics, work style, interpersonal skills, and position-specific knowledge. All references will be documented and presented in a concise, user-friendly manner.

Background checks are conducted in coordination with a third-party firm to verify educational degrees and employment records and confirm clear driving records, criminal records, and financial history/credit. Reports can be tailored to clients’ needs upon request. Safety for clients and their communities is our priority, so rest assured that we, as well as our background contract firm, meet or exceed relevant reporting requirements.

K&A can facilitate and lead the negotiations of the final terms and conditions of employment, such as the compensation package, benefits, and other perquisites (perks). We will notify all candidates not selected as finalists for the position.

Placement Guarantee
K&A is committed to recommending only the most qualified candidates who meet all the necessary requirements and qualifications and are also a cultural fit for the City. We proactively recruit for each search effort until a successful candidate is placed.

Therefore, we promise to present to the City a selective pool of candidates that met or exceeded our standards during the thorough screening processes and have been identified as ideal matches for the position. Should the City disapprove of all final candidates or should none pass the final interview and reference check process, we will work to find a new slate of candidates at no added cost, with the possible exception of necessary advertising.

In addition, for full recruitments for executive and mid-management positions, should the incumbent leave the position or be terminated from employment within 12 months of hire due to performance issues, we commit to conducting a one-time additional executive search to identify a replacement and only charge related expenses as described in the Pricing Proposal.

Overall, K&A’s retention rate during the first 12 months of hire is robust and has been above 95% over the last several years.

2. General Liability Coverage. CONSULTANT shall maintain commercial general liability insurance in an amount of not less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence for bodily injury, personal injury, and property damage.

3. Automobile Liability Coverage. CONSULTANT shall maintain automobile liability insurance covering bodily injury and property damage for all activities of CONSULTANT arising out of or in connection with the work to be performed under this Agreement, including coverage for owned, hired, and non-owned vehicles, in an amount of not less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) combined single limit for each occurrence.

4. Professional Liability Coverage. CONSULTANT shall maintain professional errors and omissions liability insurance for protection against claims alleging negligent acts, errors, or omissions which may arise from CONSULTANT’S operations under this Agreement, whether such operations be by CONSULTANT or by its employees, subconsultants, or subconsultants. The amount of this insurance shall not be less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) on a claims-made annual aggregate basis, or a combined single-limit-per-occurrence basis. When coverage is provided on a “claims made basis,” CONSULTANT will continue to renew the insurance for a period of three (3) years after this Agreement expires or is terminated.

Such insurance will have the same coverage and limits as the policy that was in effect during the term of this Agreement, and will cover June 4, 2024, Reg. CC Mtg., Page # 99

Page 6 of 12 ends

CONSULTANT for all claims made by CITY arising out of any errors or omissions of CONSULTANT, or its officers, employees or agents during the time this Agreement was in effect.

B. Endorsements. Each general liability, automobile liability and professional liability insurance policy shall be issued by a financially responsible insurance company or companies admitted and authorized to do business in the State of California, or which is approved in writing by CITY, and shall be endorsed as follows. CONSULTANT also agrees to require all CONSULTANTs, and subconsultants to do likewise.

1. “The CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers are to be covered as additional insureds with respect to liability arising out of work performed by or on behalf of the CONSULTANT, including materials, parts, or equipment furnished in connection with such work or operations.”

2. This policy shall be considered primary insurance as respects CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers.

Any insurance maintained by CITY, including any self-insured retention CITY may have, shall be considered excess insurance only and shall not contribute with this policy.

3. This insurance shall act for each insured and additional insured as though a separate policy had been written for each, except with respect to the limits of liability of the insuring company.

4. The insurer waives all rights of subrogation against CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, or agents.

5. Any failure to comply with reporting provisions of the policies shall not affect coverage provided to CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, agents, or volunteers.

6. The insurance provided by this policy shall not be suspended, voided, canceled, or reduced in coverage or in limits except after thirty (30) days’ written notice has been received by CITY.

C. CONSULTANT agrees to provide immediate notice to CITY of any claim or loss against CONSULTANT arising out of the work performed under this agreement.

CITY assumes no obligation or liability by such notice, but has the right (but not the duty) to monitor the handling of any such claim or claims if they are likely to involve CITY.

D. Any deductibles or self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by CITY. At CITY’s option, CONSULTANT shall demonstrate financial capability for payment of such deductibles or self-insured retentions.

June 4, 2024, Reg. CC Mtg., Page # 100

Page 7 of 12 ends

E. CONSULTANT shall provide certificates of insurance with original endorsements to CITY as evidence of the insurance coverage required herein.

Certificates of such insurance shall be filed with CITY on or before commencement of performance of this Agreement. Current certification of insurance shall be kept on file with CITY at all times during the term of this Agreement.

F. Failure on the part of CONSULTANT to procure or maintain required insurance shall constitute a material breach of contract under which CITY may terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 12 above.

G. The commercial general and automobile liability policies required by this Agreement shall allow CITY, as additional insured, to satisfy the self-insured retention (“SIR”) and/or deductible of the policy in lieu of the CONSULTANT (as the named insured) should CONSULTANT fail to pay the SIR or deductible requirements. The amount of the SIR or deductible shall be subject to the approval of the City Attorney and the Finance Director. CONSULTANT understands and agrees that satisfaction of this requirement is an express condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement. Failure by CONSULTANT as primary insured to pay its SIR or deductible constitutes a material breach of this Agreement. Should CITY pay the SIR or deductible on CONSULTANT’S behalf upon CONSULTANT’S failure or refusal to do so in order to secure defense and indemnification as an additional insured under the policy, CITY may include such amounts as damages in any action against CONSULTANT for breach of this Agreement in addition to any other damages incurred by CITY due to the breach.

19. USE OF OTHER CONSULTANTS. CONSULTANT must obtain CITY’s prior written approval to use any CONSULTANTs while performing any portion of this Agreement. Such approval must include approval of the proposed CONSULTANT and the terms of compensation.

20. FINAL PAYMENT ACCEPTANCE CONSTITUTES RELEASE. The acceptance by the CONSULTANT of the final payment made under this Agreement shall operate as and be a release of CITY from all claims and liabilities for compensation to the CONSULTANT for anything done, furnished or relating to the CONSULTANT’S work or services. Acceptance of payment shall be any negotiation of CITY’S check or the failure to make a written extra compensation claim within ten (10) calendar days of the receipt of that check. However, approval or payment by CITY shall not constitute, nor be deemed, a release of the responsibility and liability of CONSULTANT, its employees, sub-CONSULTANTs and agents for the accuracy and competency of the information provided and/or work performed; nor shall such approval or payment be deemed to be an assumption of such responsibility or liability by CITY for any defect or error in the work prepared by CONSULTANT, its employees, sub-CONSULTANTs and agents.

21. CORRECTIONS. In addition to the above indemnification obligations, the CONSULTANT shall correct, at its expense, all errors in the work which may be disclosed during CITY’S review of CONSULTANT’S report or plans. Should the CONSULTANT fail to make such correction in a reasonably timely manner, such correction shall be made by CITY, and the cost thereof shall be charged to CONSULTANT. In addition to all other available remedies, CITY may deduct the cost of such correction from any retention amount held by CITY or may withhold payment otherwise owed CONSULTANT under this Agreement up to the amount of the cost of correction.

22. NON-APPROPRIATION OF FUNDS. Payments to be made to CONSULTANT by CITY for services preformed within the current fiscal year are within the current fiscal budget and within an available, unexhausted fund. In the event that CITY does not appropriate sufficient funds for payment of CONSULTANT’S services beyond the current fiscal year, the Agreement shall cover payment for CONSULTANT’S only to the conclusion of the last fiscal year in which CITY appropriates sufficient funds and shall automatically terminate at the conclusion of such fiscal year.

FROM: Andrew Vialpando, City Manager
REVIEWED BY: Carla Dillon, P.E., Public Works Director
PREPARED BY: Frederic Aboujaoude, P.E., Principal Engineer MEETING DATE: June 4, 2024
SUBJECT: Resolution Authorizing the Execution of a Letter of Intent to Award Schneider Electric Buildings Americas, Inc., the Design-Build Contract for the Lomita City Hall HVAC Upgrade Project

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt resolution authorizing the City Manager to sign an Investment Grade Audit Agreement/Letter of Intent to Award Schneider Electric Buildings Americas, Inc., the Design-Build Contract for the Lomita City Hall HVAC Upgrade Project and find this project categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

BACKGROUND
Lomita City Hall is a two-story building constructed in 1973 with a Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system that has not been updated. The existing HVAC system is a double deck system, consisting of a hot deck and a cold deck. This system uses a gas furnace as the source of energy to cover air conditioning needs for approximately 22,000 square feet of office space. The current HVAC system has reached the end of its useful life and is slated to be upgraded.

Upgrading the City’s HVAC system would create lasting value for City facilities and will lead to long-term energy savings and efficiency in addition to minimizing the City’s carbon footprint in the region.

In early 2021, the City of Lomita was informed that it received funding in the amount of $4,860,976 from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) 2021. In July 2021, the City received half of this grant amount and received the other half in July 2022. The funding is contingent upon City Council awarding this project by the end of this calendar year.

Item No. 7h

CITY OF LOMITA

CITY COUNCIL REPORT
June 4, 2024, Reg. CC Mtg., Page # 107
2 To expedite delivery of the project, and as allowed through public contracting, a DesignBuild delivery method will be undertaken whereby the selected firm performs both design and construction work. To initiate the design phase, the City will issue a Letter of Intent, also known as an Investment Grade Audit Agreement, whereby the City expresses its intent to work with the selected firm on the design for this project. This is the standard practice in the design-build delivery method to provide assurance for the selected firm that their resources spent on the design would be compensated in the event the City chose not to continue with the construction phase. Most recently, Schneider Electric Buildings Americas, Inc. entered into similar agreements for HVAC upgrades for the City of Kingsburg, CA as well as the City of Yountville, CA.

After the City approves the final design and cost estimate, an official declaration to award will need to be adopted by the City Council. Staff is confident that the design can be completed and approved prior to the end of this calendar year to secure the ARPA funds.

The construction phase is anticipated to commence in early 2025.

SELECTION PROCESS
On April 15, 2024, staff issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) pursuant to California Government Code section 4217.10. A total of three firms submitted proposals. Staff reviewed the submittals and ranked the firms based on qualifications and experience.

Schneider Electric Buildings Americas, Inc. received the highest rankings as they possessed the best overall work plan and qualifications. A follow up conversation was held on May 20, 2024, to further confirm that the City’s constraints and needs are wellunderstood. Schneider Electric Buildings Americas, Inc. is a global firm specialized in electrical and mechanical projects and is a leader in sustainable and efficient energy infrastructure. Staff also checked Schneider’s references and positive feedback was received.

CEQA
It is recommended that the City Council find this project is not subject to CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines, Section 15302 Replacement or Reconstruction of existing structures and facilities. This project consists of upgrading and replacing the existing HVAC system.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact of this action at this time, however, upon official award of this project, the budget for this project is already accounted for under the Facilities Improvement funds for $1,830,799 and is expected to use $1,259,055 of the American Rescue Plan Act (2021) funds.

I: REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS OVERVIEW
The City of Lomita (“City”) is issuing this Request for Proposals (“RFP”) pursuant to California Government Code section 4217.10 et seq. to contract with one qualified firm1to design and build a new Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) System at Lomita City Hall (“Project”).

City officials aim to create lasting value for City facilities by upgrading the HVAC system for long-term energy and utility bill savings and efficiency. This underscores the City’s commitment to minimize the region’s carbon footprint.

A. BACKGROUND
The City of Lomita is an urban, densely populated 1.97 square miles (total area is 1,261 acres), located at the base of the Palos Verdes Peninsula in the Los Angeles Basin, Los Angeles County. The City of Lomita is in the southwestern part of Los Angeles County, 26 miles south of downtown Los Angeles and bounded by the City of Torrance on the north and west, the Harbor Region of Los Angeles to the east, and the City of Rolling Hill Estates on the southwest; and the City of Rancho Palos Verdes and unincorporated Los Angeles County area to the southeast. Lomita is almost completely developed with mostly residential neighborhoods and commercial units.

Lomita City Hall, a two-story building, was constructed in 1973 and the HVAC system has not been updated since. The existing HVAC system is a double deck system, consisting of a hot deck and a cold deck. This system uses a gas furnace as the source of energy to cover air conditioning needs for approximately 22,000 square feet of office space.

The current HVAC system includes pneumatic thermostats and pneumatic actuators located throughout the first and second floors of City Hall. The scope includes installation of thermostats in each room, as well as replacing the pneumatic thermostats with electrical ones.

The HVAC Air Handler has been patched multiple times and is inside the electrical room on the second floor. The Air Handler has reached the end of its useful life and will need replacement.

C. EVALUATION PANEL
Based on the evaluation criteria outlined herein, all technical Proposals shall be evaluated by an Evaluation Committee designated by the City. Interviews may be considered at the discretion of the Evaluation Committee to resolve uncertainties relating to their proposals and to arrive at a complete agreement on all requirements. The Evaluation Committee, upon completion of evaluating the technical proposals, will recommend that a Contract be signed with the selected firm. The City reserves the right to investigate the qualifications of all Proposers under consideration and to confirm any part of the information furnished by a Proposer, or to require other evidence of managerial, financial, or technical capabilities which are considered necessary for the successful performance of the work.

D. AWARD PROCESS
The City intends to award the Contract for work to the qualified Proposer whose offer conforms to the RFP, whose Proposal proposes a Project which will provide the best value to the City, best meets the City’s needs and is most likely to assist the City in achieving its objectives, which the City shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion.

Once a firm has been selected, a Letter of Intent conveying the City’s intent to award is sent to the successful bidder(s) and to unsuccessful bidders. All letters are issued on the same day. The notification letters are normally signed by the City Manager or a Director of Finance with approval from their board or council. The contract cannot be awarded for a period of five working days starting the day after posting.

June 4, 2024, Reg. CC Mtg., Page # 116
6 | P a g e
During this time and prior to contract award, the selected Proposer must draft, for the City’s approval, at the Proposer’s sole cost and expense, a set of Construction Documents for the City’s review, and approval (which City approval shall be deemed to include, but is not limited to, the City’s permitting department).

Proposers shall establish a Base Bid scope of work and Guaranteed Maximum Price budget. Proposers are strongly encouraged to expand the Base Bid scope of work by including “Add Alternate” items in their proposals which would include other financially and logistically viable opportunities that do not expose the City to added technical or financial risk. In addition, the City is willing to consider alternative strategies that may provide superior results to the Base Bid suggested.

The selected Proposer shall bear the sole cost and expense of designing and permitting the Project to the satisfaction and acceptance of the City. Once the Project is designed and permitted, the City will take the Construction Documents and the Project contract to the City Council for award and, if approved by the Council, may execute the contract with the Proposer for construction of the Project. In the event that the successful Proposer is unable and/or unwilling to modify the Construction Documents to meet the City’s approval and permitting requirements, the City, in its sole discretion, may begin negotiations with the next Proposer whose Proposal proposes a Project which will provide the best value to the City, best meets the City’s needs and is most likely to assist the City in achieving its objectives, which the City shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion. The City reserves the right to seek clarification of information submitted in response to this RFP. The City also reserves the right to make an award without further discussion with any of the Proposers.

During the course of the proposal evaluation, the City may request clarification of, or information about, any item in the proposal. The Proposer shall respond within the time requested. If the clarification or information is not forthcoming, the City may, at its sole discretion, disqualify a proposal if it determines that evaluation of the proposal cannot proceed in the absence of clarification. However, the City, in its sole discretion, may review and evaluate proposals and award a Contract based solely on the materials contained in the Proposer’s proposal.

The estimated quantities and assumptions provided by the City are not guaranteed. These quantities are listed for information purposes only. The quantities and assumptions may vary depending on the demands of the City. Any variations from these estimated quantities shall not entitle the Proposer to an adjustment in the unit price or to any additional compensation.

The City reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to accept a response that does not satisfy all requirements but which, in the City’s sole judgment, sufficiently demonstrates the ability to produce, deliver, design, permit and install the Project and to satisfy the major requirements set forth in this RFP.

The City expects to complete its evaluation process to select a qualified proposer but reserves the right to change key dates and action as the need arises.

The City intends to award the Project to one Proposer; however, the City retains the right to award one or more separate Contracts to one or more Proposers, in the City’s sole discretion.

Frederic Aboujaoude, Principal Engineer
City of Lomita, CA
Dear Mr. Aboujaoude,
This proposal presents an exciting opportunity to strategically reinvest your energy and operational budget into infrastructure improvements and technology enhancements that will modernize the HVAC system at Lomita's City Hall. Your project's vision and objectives are clear: to execute a comprehensive, turn-key HVAC replacement project at City Hall in line with ARPA timelines and your allocated budget of $1,500,000 ARPA funds. The goal is to replace the unit with an upgraded system that ensures efficient operations, delivers clean air, and enhances the comfort of building occupants. Additionally, you seek a partner capable of providing solutions for your pneumatic controls, while also designing and developing solar and other measures to further the City's environmental sustainability goals and optimize utility and energy usage through infrastructure improvements. With this project, Schneider Electric is poised to support the City of Lomita in achieving more while optimizing expenditure.

I am pleased to formally submit this response for the Lomita City Hall HVAC Replacement proposal on behalf of Schneider Electric. As the primary contact for this submission, I am authorized to provide any necessary clarifications. My contact information is provided below for your convenience. Schneider Electric will serve as the prime contractor, lead integrator, and turnkey provider for the services detailed in this proposal, ensuring full compliance with all relevant laws, requirements of the State of California, as well as federal funding guidelines and requirements.
