IN THE CITY OF LOS ALAMITOS, CALIFORNIA
[Business & Professions Code § 7028.15]
[Public Contract Code § 20103.5]
I, the undersigned, certify that I am aware of the following provisions of California law and that I, or the entity on whose behalf this certification is given, hold a currently valid California contractor’s license as set forth below:
Business & Professions Code § 7028.15:
a) It is a misdemeanor for any person to submit a bid to a public agency to engage in the business or act in the capacity of a contractor within this state without having a license therefor, except in any of the following cases:
(1)The person is particularly exempted from this chapter. (2) The bid is submitted on a state project governed by Section 10164 of the Public Contract Code or on any local agency project governed by Section 20104 [now § 20103.5] of the Public Contract Code. b) If a person has been previously convicted of the offense described in this section, the court shall impose a fine of 20 percent of the price of the contract under which the unlicensed person performed contracting work, or four thousand five hundred dollars ($4,500), whichever is greater, or imprisonment in the county jail for not less than 10 days nor more than six months, or both.
In the event the person performing the contracting work has agreed to furnish materials and labor on an hourly basis, “the price of the contract” for the purposes of this subdivision means the aggregate sum of the cost of materials and labor furnished and the cost of completing the work to be performed.
c) This section shall not apply to a joint venture license, as required by Section 7029.1. However, at the time of making a bid as a joint venture, each person submitting the bid shall be subject to this section with respect to his/her individual licenser.
d) This section shall not affect the right or ability of a licensed architect, land surveyor, or registered professional engineer to form joint ventures with licensed contractors to render services within the scope of their respective practices.
e) Unless one of the foregoing exceptions applies, a bid submitted to a public agency by a contractor who is not licensed in accordance with this chapter shall be considered nonresponsive and shall be rejected by the public agency. Unless one of the foregoing exceptions applies, a local public agency shall, before awarding a contract or issuing a purchase order, verify that the contractor was properly licensed when the contractor submitted the bid. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, unless one of the foregoing SECTION D – Page 21
CONTRACT INFORMATION AND DOCUMENT
exceptions applies, the registrar may issue a citation to any public officer or employee of a public entity who knowingly awards a contract or issues a purchase order to a contractor who is not licensed pursuant to this chapter.
The amount of civil penalties, appeal, and finality of such citations shall be subject to Sections 7028.7 to 7028.13, inclusive. Any contract awarded to, or any purchase order issued to, as contractor who is not licensed pursuant to this chapter is void.
f) Any compliance or noncompliance with subdivision (e) of this section, as added by Chapter 863 of the Statutes of 1989, shall not invalidate any contract or bid awarded by a public agency during which time that subdivision was in effect. g) A public employee or officer shall not be subject to a citation pursuant to this section if the public employee, officer, or employing agency made an inquiry to the board for the purposes of verifying the license status of any person or contractor and the board failed to respond to the inquiry within three business days. For purposes of this section, a telephone response by the board shall be deemed sufficient.
Public Contract Code § 20103.5:
In all contracts subject to this part where federal funds are involved, no bid submitted shall be invalidated by the failure of the bidder to be licensed in accordance with the laws of this state.
However, at the time the contract is awarded, the contractor shall be properly licensed in accordance with the laws of this state. The first payment for work or material under any contract shall not be made unless and until the Registrar of Contractors verifies to the agency that the records of the Contractors’ State License Board indicate that the contractor was properly licensed at the time the contract was awarded. Any bidder or contractor not so licensed shall be subject to all legal penalties imposed by law, including, but not limited to, any appropriate disciplinary action by the Contractors’ State License Board. The agency shall include a statement to that effect in the standard form of pre-qualification questionnaire and financial statement. Failure of the bidder to obtain proper and adequate licensing for an award of a contract shall constitute a failure to execute the contract and shall result in the forfeiture of the security of the bidder.

Accordingly, the provisions of this indemnity provision are intended by the parties to be interpreted and construed to provide the fullest protection possible under the law to the Agency. CONTRACTOR acknowledges that AGENCY would not have entered into this Agreement in the absence of the commitment of CONTRACTOR to indemnify and protect AGENCY as set forth here.
5-4.2.2 To the full extent permitted by law, CONTRACTOR shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless AGENCY, its employees, agents and officials, from any liability, claims, suits, actions, arbitration proceedings, administrative proceedings, regulatory proceedings, losses, expenses or costs of any kind, whether actual, alleged, or threatened, actual attorneys fees incurred by AGENCY, court costs, interest, defense costs including expert witness fees and any other costs or expenses of any kind whatsoever without restriction or limitation incurred in relation to, as a consequence of, arising out of or in any way attributable actually, allegedly or impliedly, in whole or in part to the performance of this Agreement. All obligations under this provision are to be paid by CONTRACTOR as they are incurred by the AGENCY. 5-4.2.3 Without affecting the rights of AGENCY under any provision of this agreement or this section, CONTRACTOR shall not be required to indemnify and hold harmless AGENCY as set forth above for liability attributable to the sole fault of AGENCY, provided such sole fault is determined by agreement between the parties or the findings of a court of competent jurisdiction.
This exception will apply only in instances where the AGENCY is shown to have been solely at fault and not in instances where CONTRACTOR is solely or partially at fault or in instances where AGENCY’s fault accounts for only a percentage of the liability involved. In those instances, the obligation of CONTRACTOR will be all-inclusive and AGENCY will be indemnified for all liability incurred, even though a percentage of the liability is attributable to the conduct of the AGENCY. 5-4.2.4 CONTRACTOR acknowledges that its obligation pursuant to this section extends to liability attributable to AGENCY, if that liability is less than the sole fault of AGENCY. CONTRACTOR has no obligation under this Agreement for liability proven in a court of competent jurisdiction or by written agreement between the parties to be the sole fault of AGENCY.

STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS
5-4.2.5 The obligations of CONTRACTOR under this or any other provision of this Agreement will not be limited by the provisions of any workers compensation act or similar act. CONTRACTOR expressly waives its statutory immunity under such statutes or laws as to AGENCY, its employees, agents and officials.
5-4.2.6 CONTRACTOR agrees to obtain executed indemnity agreements with provisions identical to those as set forth here in this section from each and every subcontractor, sub-tier contractor or any other person or entity involved by, for, with or on behalf of CONTRACTOR in the performance or subject matter of this Agreement. In the event CONTRACTOR fails to obtain such indemnity obligations from others as required here, CONTRACTOR agrees to be fully responsible according to the terms of this section.
5-4.2.7 Failure of AGENCY to monitor compliance with these requirements imposes no additional obligations on AGENCY and will in no way act as a waiver of any rights hereunder. This obligation to indemnify and defend AGENCY as set forth herein is binding on the successors, assigns or heirs of CONTRACTOR and shall survive the termination of this Agreement or this section. 5-4.2.8 CONTRACTOR agrees to provide insurance in accordance with the requirements as set forth here. If CONTRACTOR uses existing coverage to comply with these requirements and that coverage does not meet the requirements set forth herein, CONTRACTOR agrees to amend, supplement or endorse the existing coverage to do so. The following coverages will be provided by CONTRACTOR and maintained on behalf of AGENCY and in accordance with the requirements set forth herein. 5-4.2.9 Commercial General Liability/Umbrella Insurance. Primary insurance shall be provided on ISOCGL form No. CG 00 01 11 85 or 88. Total limits shall be not less than two million dollars ($2,000,000.00) per occurrence for all coverages and two million dollars ($2,000,000.00) general aggregate. AGENCY and its officers, agents and employees shall be named as additional insureds using ISO additional insureds endorsement form CG 20 10 11 85 (in no event will AGENCY accept an endorsement form with an edition date later than 1990). Coverage shall apply on a primary noncontributing basis in relation to any other insurance or self-insurance, primary or excess, available to AGENCY or any employee or agent of AGENCY. Coverage shall not be limited to the vicarious liability or supervisory role of any additional insured. Umbrella Liability Insurance (over primary) shall apply to bodily injury/property damage, personal injury/advertising injury, at a minimum, and shall include a “drop down” provision providing primary coverage above a maximum of $25,000.00 self-insured retention for liability not covered by primary policies but covered by the umbrella policy. Coverage shall be following form to any underlying coverage. Coverage shall be provided on a “pay on behalf” basis, with defense costs payable in addition to policy limits. There shall be no cross-liability exclusion.
Policies shall have concurrent starting and ending dates.
Each policy of insurance shall contain a clause prohibiting cancellation, modification or lapse without thirty (30) days prior written notice having been given to the City. All insurance policies shall be subject to approval by the City Attorney and certificates evidencing such policies shall be provided to the City concurrently with the filing of all required bonds.
5.4.2.10 Business Auto/Umbrella Liability Insurance. Primary coverage shall be written on ISO Business Auto Coverage form CA 00 01 06 92 including symbol 1 (Any Auto). Limits shall be no less than two million dollars ($2,000,000.00) per accident. Starting and ending dates shall be concurrent. If CONTRACTOR owns no autos, a non-owned auto endorsement to the General Liability policy drafted above is acceptable.
5-4.3 WORKERS’ COMPENSATION INSURANCE
Replace Subsection 5-4.3 with the following:
SECTION E – Page 13
STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS
5-4.3.1 Workers’ Compensation/Employers’ Liability shall be written on a policy form providing workers’ compensation statutory benefits as required by law. Employers’ liability limits shall be no less than one million dollars per accident or disease. Employers’ liability coverage shall be scheduled under any umbrella policy described above. Unless otherwise agreed, this policy shall be endorsed to waive any right of subrogation as respects the AGENCY, its officers, agents or employees. 5-4.3.2 CONTRACTOR and AGENCY further agree as follows:
5-4.3.2.1 This Section supersedes all other sections and provisions of this Agreement to the extent that any other section or provision conflicts with or impairs the provisions of this Section. 5-4.3.2.2 Nothing contained in this Section is to be construed as affecting or altering the legal status of the parties to this Agreement. The insurance requirements set forth in this Section are intended to be separate and distinct from any other provision in this Agreement and shall be interpreted as such. 5-4.3.2.3 All insurance coverage and limits provided pursuant to this Agreement shall apply to the full extent of the policies involved, available, or applicable. Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other agreement relating to the AGENCY or its operations limits the application of each insurance coverage.
5-4.3.2.4 Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this Section are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits or other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any insurance. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only and is not intended by any party to be all-inclusive, or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a waiver of any type.
5-4.3.2.5 For purposes of insurance coverage only, this Agreement shall be deemed to have been executed immediately upon any party hereto taking any steps that can be deemed to be in furtherance of or towards performance of this Agreement.
5-4.3.2.6 All general or auto liability insurance coverage provided pursuant to this Agreement, or any other agreements pertaining to the performance of this Agreement, shall not prohibit CONTRACTOR, and CONTRACTOR’s agents, officers or employees from waiving the right of subrogation prior to a loss.
Contractor hereby waives all rights of subrogation against AGENCY. 5-4.3.2.7 Unless otherwise approved by AGENCY, CONTRACTOR’s insurance shall be written by insurers authorized to do business in the State of California and with a minimum “Best’s” Insurance Guide rating of “A+VIII.” Self-insurance will not be considered to comply with these insurance specifications.
5-4.3.2.8 In the event any policy of insurance required by this Agreement does not comply with these requirements or is canceled and not replaced, AGENCY has the right but not the duty to obtain the insurance it deems necessary and any premium paid by AGENCY will be promptly reimbursed by CONTRACTOR. Upon CONTRACTOR’s failure to make such reimbursement within 30 days of written demand, AGENCY may deduct that sum from any monies due CONTRACTOR hereunder or otherwise. 5-4.3.2.9 CONTRACTOR agrees to provide evidence of the insurance required herein, satisfactory to AGENCY, consisting of certificate(s) of insurance evidencing all of the coverages required and an additional insured endorsement to CONTRACTOR’s general liability and umbrella liability policy (if any) using ISO form CG 20 10 11 85. Certificate(s) are to reflect that the insurer will provide 30 days’ notice of any cancellation of coverage. CONTRACTOR agrees to require its insurer to modify such certificates to delete any exculpatory wording stating that failure of insurer to mail written notice of SECTION E – Page 14
STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS
cancellation imposes no obligation, and to delete the word “endeavor” with regard to any notice provisions. CONTRACTOR agrees to provide complete copies of policies to AGENCY upon request. 5-4.3.2.10 CONTRACTOR shall provide proof that policies of insurance required herein expiring during the term of this Agreement have been renewed or replaced with other policies providing at least the same coverage. Such proof shall be furnished within 72 hours of the expiration of the coverages. 5-4.3.2.11 Any actual or alleged failure on the part of AGENCY or any other additional insured under these requirements to obtain proof of insurance required under this Agreement in no way waives any right or remedy of AGENCY or any additional insured, in this or any other regard. 5-4.3.2.12 CONTRACTOR agrees to require all subcontractors or other parties hired for this project to provide general liability insurance naming as additional insureds all parties to this Agreement.
CONTRACTOR agrees to obtain certificates evidencing such coverage and make reasonable efforts to ensure that such coverage is provided as required here. CONTRACTOR agrees to require that no contract used by any subcontractor, or contracts CONTRACTOR enters into on behalf of AGENCY, will reserve the right to charge back to AGENCY the cost of insurance required by this Agreement.
CONTRACTOR agrees that upon request, all agreements with subcontractors or others with whom CONTRACTOR contracts on behalf of AGENCY will be submitted to AGENCY for review. Failure of AGENCY to request copies of such agreement will not impose any liability on AGENCY, its officers, agents, or employees.
5-4.3.2.13 If CONTRACTOR is a Limited Liability Company, general liability coverage must be amended so that the Limited Liability Company and its Managers, Affiliates, employees, agents and other persons necessary or incidental to its operations are insureds. 5-4.3.2.14 CONTRACTOR agrees to provide immediate notice to AGENCY of any claim or loss against CONTRACTOR that includes AGENCY as a defendant. AGENCY 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.

Whenever the Contractor foresees any delay in the prosecution of the work, and in any event immediately upon the occurrence of any delay which the Contractor regards as unavoidable, he/she shall notify the Engineer in writing of the probability of the occurrence of such delay and its cause so that the Engineer may take immediate steps to prevent, if possible, the occurrence or continuance of the delay, or, if prevention is not possible, may determine whether the delay is to be considered avoidable or unavoidable, how long it continues, and to what extent it will delay the prosecution and completion of the work. It will be concluded that any and all delays which have occurred in the prosecution and completion of the work have been avoidable delays, except such delays as shall have been called to the attention of the Engineer at the time of their occurrence and found by him/her to have been unavoidable. The Contractor shall make no claims for any delay not called to the attention of the Engineer at the time of its occurrence as an unavoidable delay.
6-4.1.2 Avoidable Delays
Avoidable delays in the prosecution or completion of the work shall include all delays which in the opinion of the Engineer would have been avoided by the exercise of care, prudence, foresight, and diligence on the part of the Contractor of his/her subcontractors. The following shall be considered avoidable delays within the meaning of the contract: 1) Delays in the prosecution of parts of the work which may in themselves be unavoidable but do not necessarily prevent or delay the prosecution of other parts of the work or the completion of the whole work within the time herein specified; 2) Reasonable loss of time resulting from the necessity of submitting samples of materials and drawings to the Engineer for approval and from performing tests of materials, measurements, and inspections; 3) Reasonable interference of other contractors employed by the Agency and/or other contractors working in the area which do not necessarily prevent the completion of the whole work within the time agreed upon; 4) Delays resulting from inaccurate or incomplete shop drawing submittals; and 5) Interference of other contractors performing concurrent work.

In case the work is not completed in the time specified, including such extensions of time as may have been granted for unavoidable delays, the Contractor will be assessed damages for delay in accordance with Paragraph 6-9. The Agency, however, shall have the right to grant an extension of time for avoidable delay if it is deemed in his/her best interest to do so. During such extension of time, the Contractor will be charged for engineering and inspection services and other costs as provided in Paragraph 6-4.2.1 but will not be assessed damages pursuant to Paragraph 6-9. 6-4.2 EXTENSIONS OF TIME
Add the following Subsection:
6-4.2.1 Compensation to Agency for Extension of Time
SECTION E – Page 18
STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS
Compensation for extension of time for avoidable delay granted pursuant to Paragraph 6-4.1.3 shall be the actual cost to the Agency for engineering, inspection, general supervision, and overhead expenses which are directly chargeable to the work and which accrue during the period of such extension, except that the cost of final inspection and preparation of the final estimate shall not be included. 6-4.4 WRITTEN NOTICE AND REPORT

In accordance with Government Code 53069.85, and all other applicable law, the Contractor agrees to forfeit and pay the Agency the amount of Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) per day for each and every day of unauthorized delay beyond the completion date, which shall be deducted from any monies due the Contractor. This payment shall be considered liquidated damages. Contractor agrees that such liquidated damages are reasonable under the circumstances existing at the time of execution of the contract, that such liquidated damages are to compensate Agency for losses that are difficult to measure and that such damages are not a penalty.
Failure of the Contractor to perform any covenant or condition contained in the Contract Documents within the time period specified shall constitute a material breach of this Contract entitling the Agency to terminate the Contract unless the Contractor applies for, and receives, an extension of time in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6-4.
Failure of the Agency to insist upon the performance of any covenant or conditions within the time period specified in the Contract Documents shall not constitute a waiver of the Contractor’s duty to complete performance within the designated periods unless the Agency has executed a waiver in writing.
The Agency’s agreement to waive a specific time provision or to extend the time for performance shall not constitute a waiver of any other time provision contained in the Contract Documents.
SECTION E – Page 19
STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS
Failure of the Contractor to complete performance promptly within the additional time authorized in a waiver or extension of time agreement shall constitute a material breach of this Contract entitling the Agency to terminate this agreement.
The Contractor shall not be deemed in breach of this Contract and no forfeiture due to delay shall be made because of any delays in the completion of the Work due to unforeseeable causes beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the Contractor provided the Contractor requests an extension of time in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6-4. Unforeseeable causes of delay beyond the control of the Contractor shall include acts of God, acts of a public enemy, acts of the government, acts of the Agency, or acts of another contractor in the performance of a contract with the Agency, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, freight embargoes, and weather, or delays of subcontractors due to such causes, or delays caused by failure of the owner of a utility to provide for removal or relocation of existing utility facilities. Delays caused by actions or neglect of Contractor or his/her agents, servants, employees, officers, subcontractors, directors, or of any party contracting to perform part of all of the Work or to supply any equipment or materials shall not be excusable delays. Excusable delays (those beyond the Contractor’s control) shall not entitle the Contractor to any additional compensation. The sole recourse of the Contractor shall be to seek an extension of time.
Add the following Subsections:
6-10 DISPUTES AND CLAIMS
6-10.1 GENERAL

CDBG STREET IMPROVEMENTS ON VARIOUS STREETS
SPECIFICATION NO. CIP 21/22-04
IN THE CITY OF LOS ALAMITOS, CALIFORNIA
[Business & Professions Code § 7028.15]
[Public Contract Code § 20103.5]
I, the undersigned, certify that I am aware of the following provisions of California law and that I, or the entity on whose behalf this certification is given, hold a currently valid California contractor’s license as set forth below:
Business & Professions Code § 7028.15:
a) It is a misdemeanor for any person to submit a bid to a public agency to engage in the business or act in the capacity of a contractor within this state without having a license therefor, except in any of the following cases:
(1) The person is particularly exempted from this chapter. (2) The bid is submitted on a state project governed by Section 10164 of the Public Contract Code or on any local agency project governed by Section 20104 [now § 20103.5] of the Public Contract Code.
b) If a person has been previously convicted of the offense described in this section, the court shall impose a fine of 20 percent of the price of the contract under which the unlicensed person performed contracting work, or four thousand five hundred dollars ($4,500), whichever is greater, or imprisonment in the county jail for not less than 10 days nor more than six months, or both.
In the event the person performing the contracting work has agreed to furnish materials and labor on an hourly basis, “the price of the contract” for the purposes of this subdivision means the aggregate sum of the cost of materials and labor furnished and the cost of completing the work to be performed.
c) This section shall not apply to a joint venture license, as required by Section 7029.1.
However, at the time of making a bid as a joint venture, each person submitting the bid shall be subject to this section with respect to his/her individual licenser. d) This section shall not affect the right or ability of a licensed architect, land surveyor, or registered professional engineer to form joint ventures with licensed contractors to render services within the scope of their respective practices. e) Unless one of the foregoing exceptions applies, a bid submitted to a public agency by a contractor who is not licensed in accordance with this chapter shall be considered nonresponsive and shall be rejected by the public agency. Unless one of the foregoing exceptions applies, a local public agency shall, before awarding a contract or issuing a purchase order, verify that the contractor was properly licensed when the contractor submitted the bid. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, unless one of the foregoing exceptions applies, the registrar may issue a citation to any public officer or employee of a public entity who knowingly awards a contract or issues a purchase order to a contractor who is not licensed pursuant to this chapter. The amount of civil penalties, appeal, and finality of such citations shall be subject to Sections 7028.7 to 7028.13, inclusive. Any contract awarded to, or any purchase order issued to, as contractor who is not licensed pursuant to this chapter is void.
SECTION D – Page 16
CONTRACT INFORMATION AND DOCUMENT
f) Any compliance or noncompliance with subdivision (e) of this section, as added by Chapter 863 of the Statutes of 1989, shall not invalidate any contract or bid awarded by a public agency during which time that subdivision was in effect. g) A public employee or officer shall not be subject to a citation pursuant to this section if the public employee, officer, or employing agency made an inquiry to the board for the purposes of verifying the license status of any person or contractor and the board failed to respond to the inquiry within three business days. For purposes of this section, a telephone response by the board shall be deemed sufficient.
Public Contract Code § 20103.5:
In all contracts subject to this part where federal funds are involved, no bid submitted shall be invalidated by the failure of the bidder to be licensed in accordance with the laws of this state.
However, at the time the contract is awarded, the contractor shall be properly licensed in accordance with the laws of this state. The first payment for work or material under any contract shall not be made unless and until the Registrar of Contractors verifies to the agency that the records of the Contractors’ State License Board indicate that the contractor was properly licensed at the time the contract was awarded. Any bidder or contractor not so licensed shall be subject to all legal penalties imposed by law, including, but not limited to, any appropriate disciplinary action by the Contractors’ State License Board. The agency shall include a statement to that effect in the standard form of pre-qualification questionnaire and financial statement. Failure of the bidder to obtain proper and adequate licensing for an award of a contract shall constitute a failure to execute the contract and shall result in the forfeiture of the security of the bidder.

In the event CONTRACTOR fails to obtain such indemnity obligations from others as required here, CONTRACTOR agrees to be fully responsible according to the terms of this section.
5-4.2.7 Failure of AGENCY to monitor compliance with these requirements imposes no additional obligations on AGENCY and will in no way act as a waiver of any rights hereunder.

Limits shall be no less than two million dollars ($2,000,000.00) per accident. Starting and ending dates shall be concurrent.

5-4.3.2.1 This Section supersedes all other sections and provisions of this Agreement to the extent that any other section or provision conflicts with or impairs the provisions of this Section. 5-4.3.2.2 Nothing contained in this Section is to be construed as affecting or altering the legal status of the parties to this Agreement. The insurance requirements set forth in this Section are intended to be separate and distinct from any other provision in this Agreement and shall be interpreted as such. 5-4.3.2.3 All insurance coverage and limits provided pursuant to this Agreement shall apply to the full extent of the policies involved, available, or applicable. Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other agreement relating to the AGENCY or its operations limits the application of each insurance coverage.
5-4.3.2.4 Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this Section are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits or other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any insurance. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only and is not intended by any party to be all-inclusive, or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a waiver of any type.
5-4.3.2.5 For purposes of insurance coverage only, this Agreement shall be deemed to have been executed immediately upon any party hereto taking any steps that can be deemed to be in furtherance of or towards performance of this Agreement.
5-4.3.2.6 All general or auto liability insurance coverage provided pursuant to this Agreement, or any other agreements pertaining to the performance of this Agreement, shall not prohibit CONTRACTOR, and CONTRACTOR’s agents, officers or employees from waiving the right of subrogation prior to a loss.
Contractor hereby waives all rights of subrogation against AGENCY. 5-4.3.2.7 Unless otherwise approved by AGENCY, CONTRACTOR’s insurance shall be written by insurers authorized to do business in the State of California and with a minimum “Best’s” Insurance Guide rating of “A+VIII.” Self-insurance will not be considered to comply with these insurance specifications.
5-4.3.2.8 In the event any policy of insurance required by this Agreement does not comply with these requirements or is canceled and not replaced, AGENCY has the right but not the duty to obtain the insurance it deems necessary and any premium paid by AGENCY will be promptly reimbursed by CONTRACTOR. Upon CONTRACTOR’s failure to make such reimbursement within 30 days of written demand, AGENCY may deduct that sum from any monies due CONTRACTOR hereunder or otherwise. 5-4.3.2.9 CONTRACTOR agrees to provide evidence of the insurance required herein, satisfactory to AGENCY, consisting of certificate(s) of insurance evidencing all of the coverages required and an additional insured endorsement to CONTRACTOR’s general liability and umbrella liability policy (if any) using ISO form CG 20 10 11 85. Certificate(s) are to reflect that the insurer will provide 30 days’ notice of any cancellation of coverage. CONTRACTOR agrees to require its insurer to modify such certificates to delete any exculpatory wording stating that failure of insurer to mail written notice of cancellation imposes no obligation, and to delete the word “endeavor” with regard to any notice provisions. CONTRACTOR agrees to provide complete copies of policies to AGENCY upon request.

5-4.3.2.10 CONTRACTOR shall provide proof that policies of insurance required herein expiring during the term of this Agreement have been renewed or replaced with other policies providing at least the same coverage. Such proof shall be furnished within 72 hours of the expiration of the coverages. 5-4.3.2.11 Any actual or alleged failure on the part of AGENCY or any other additional insured under these requirements to obtain proof of insurance required under this Agreement in no way waives any right or remedy of AGENCY or any additional insured, in this or any other regard. 5-4.3.2.12 CONTRACTOR agrees to require all subcontractors or other parties hired for this project to provide general liability insurance naming as additional insureds all parties to this Agreement.
CONTRACTOR agrees to obtain certificates evidencing such coverage and make reasonable efforts to ensure that such coverage is provided as required here. CONTRACTOR agrees to require that no contract used by any subcontractor, or contracts CONTRACTOR enters into on behalf of AGENCY, will reserve the right to charge back to AGENCY the cost of insurance required by this Agreement.
CONTRACTOR agrees that upon request, all agreements with subcontractors or others with whom CONTRACTOR contracts on behalf of AGENCY will be submitted to AGENCY for review. Failure of AGENCY to request copies of such agreement will not impose any liability on AGENCY, its officers, agents, or employees.
5-4.3.2.13 If CONTRACTOR is a Limited Liability Company, general liability coverage must be amended so that the Limited Liability Company and its Managers, Affiliates, employees, agents and other persons necessary or incidental to its operations are insureds. 5-4.3.2.14 CONTRACTOR agrees to provide immediate notice to AGENCY of any claim or loss against CONTRACTOR that includes AGENCY as a defendant. AGENCY 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.

6-4 DELAYS AND EXTENSION OF TIME
6-4.1 GENERAL
Add the following Subsections:
6-4.1.1 Notice of Delays
Whenever the Contractor foresees any delay in the prosecution of the work, and in any event immediately upon the occurrence of any delay which the Contractor regards as unavoidable, he/she shall notify the Engineer in writing of the probability of the occurrence of such delay and its cause so that the Engineer may take immediate steps to prevent, if possible, the occurrence or continuance of the delay, or, if prevention is not possible, may determine whether the delay is to be considered avoidable or unavoidable, how long it continues, and to what extent it will delay the prosecution and completion of the work. It will be concluded that any and all delays which have occurred in the prosecution and completion of the work have been avoidable delays, except such delays as shall have been called to the attention of the Engineer at the time of their occurrence and found by him/her to have been unavoidable. The Contractor shall make no claims for any delay not called to the attention of the Engineer at the time of its occurrence as an unavoidable delay.
6-4.1.2 Avoidable Delays
Avoidable delays in the prosecution or completion of the work shall include all delays which in the opinion of the Engineer would have been avoided by the exercise of care, prudence, foresight, and diligence on the part of the Contractor of his/her subcontractors. The following shall be considered avoidable delays within the meaning of the contract: 1) Delays in the prosecution of parts of the work which may in themselves be unavoidable but do not necessarily prevent or delay the prosecution of other parts of the work or the completion of the whole work within the time herein specified; 2) Reasonable loss of time resulting from the necessity of submitting samples of materials and drawings to the Engineer for approval and from performing tests of materials, measurements, and inspections; 3) Reasonable interference of other contractors employed by the Agency and/or other contractors working in the area which do not necessarily prevent the completion of the whole work within the time agreed upon; 4) Delays resulting from inaccurate or incomplete shop drawing submittals; and 5) Interference of other contractors performing concurrent work.
6-4.1.3 Extension of Time
In case the work is not completed in the time specified, including such extensions of time as may have been granted for unavoidable delays, the Contractor will be assessed damages for delay in accordance with Paragraph 6-9. The Agency, however, shall have the right to grant an extension of time for avoidable delay if it is deemed in his/her best interest to do so. During such extension of time, the Contractor will be charged for engineering and inspection services and other costs as provided in Paragraph 6-4.2.1 but will not be assessed damages pursuant to Paragraph 6-9. 6-4.2 EXTENSIONS OF TIME
Add the following Subsection:
6-4.2.1 Compensation to Agency for Extension of Time
Compensation for extension of time for avoidable delay granted pursuant to Paragraph 6-4.1.3 shall be the actual cost to the Agency for engineering, inspection, general supervision, and overhead expenses which are directly chargeable to the work and which accrue during the period of such extension, except that the cost of final inspection and preparation of the final estimate shall not be included.

The request must be submitted in writing and must state the cause of the delay, the date of the occurrence causing the delay, and the amount of additional time requested. This shall be included as part of a revised construction schedule required in Section 6-1. Requests for extensions of time shall be supported by all evidence reasonably available or known to the Contractor, which would support the extension of time requested. Requests for extensions of time, which are not received within the time specified above, shall result in the forfeiture of the Contractor’s right to receive any extension of time requested.
If the Contractor is requesting an extension of time because of weather, he/she shall supply daily written reports to the Agency’s representative describing such weather, and the work that could not be performed that day because of such weather or conditions resulting therefrom and that he/she otherwise would have performed.

The Contractor shall complete all or any designated portion of the Work called for under the Contract within the time set forth in Part C (Proposal) of these Specifications.
In accordance with Government Code 53069.85, and all other applicable law, the Contractor agrees to forfeit and pay the Agency the amount of Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) per day for each and every day of unauthorized delay beyond the completion date, which shall be deducted from any monies due the Contractor. This payment shall be considered liquidated damages. Contractor agrees that such liquidated damages are reasonable under the circumstances existing at the time of execution of the contract, that such liquidated damages are to compensate Agency for losses that are difficult to measure and that such damages are not a penalty.
Failure of the Contractor to perform any covenant or condition contained in the Contract Documents within the time period specified shall constitute a material breach of this Contract entitling the Agency to terminate the Contract unless the Contractor applies for, and receives, an extension of time in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6-4.
Failure of the Agency to insist upon the performance of any covenant or conditions within the time period specified in the Contract Documents shall not constitute a waiver of the Contractor’s duty to complete performance within the designated periods unless the Agency has executed a waiver in writing.
The Agency’s agreement to waive a specific time provision or to extend the time for performance shall not constitute a waiver of any other time provision contained in the Contract Documents.
Failure of the Contractor to complete performance promptly within the additional time authorized in a waiver or extension of time agreement shall constitute a material breach of this Contract entitling the Agency to terminate this agreement.
SECTION E – Page 19
STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS
The Contractor shall not be deemed in breach of this Contract and no forfeiture due to delay shall be made because of any delays in the completion of the Work due to unforeseeable causes beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the Contractor provided the Contractor requests an extension of time in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6-4. Unforeseeable causes of delay beyond the control of the Contractor shall include acts of God, acts of a public enemy, acts of the government, acts of the Agency, or acts of another contractor in the performance of a contract with the Agency, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, freight embargoes, and weather, or delays of subcontractors due to such causes, or delays caused by failure of the owner of a utility to provide for removal or relocation of existing utility facilities. Delays caused by actions or neglect of Contractor or his/her agents, servants, employees, officers, subcontractors, directors, or of any party contracting to perform part of all of the Work or to supply any equipment or materials shall not be excusable delays. Excusable delays (those beyond the Contractor’s control) shall not entitle the Contractor to any additional compensation. The sole recourse of the Contractor shall be to seek an extension of time.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: February 28, 2022 ITEM NUMBER: 10J
To: Mayor Shelley Hasselbrink & Members of the City Council Presented By: Ron Noda, Development Services Director
Subject: Approval of Plans and Specifications and Authorization to Bid for Fabrication and Installation of Storm Water Protection Connector Pipe Screen (CPS) Units Project (CIP No. 21/22-05)
SUMMARY
This report seeks approval to facilitate the solicitation of bids to begin fabrication and installation of storm water protection Connector Pipe Screen (CPS) units in the City's 118 catch basins.
RECOMMENDATION
1. Approve the plans and specification for the fabrication and installation of catch basin Connector Pipe Screen (CPS) units project (CIP No. 21/22-05) Citywide; and,
2. Authorize Staff to advertise and solicit bid proposals.
BACKGROUND
In May 2021, the City submitted for the 2021 Tier 1 Project Application for Funding from Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA). In September 2021, the City was awarded approximately $51,524 towards the proposed installation of CPS units citywide.
The City is expected to match these funds with an expendature of at least $12,880.
The State's new Trash Amendment will eventually require "full-capture" screening of storm water. The City of Los Alamitos wants to continue to work toward Best Management Practice (BMP) objectives by installing Connector Pipe Screens (CPS) in our storm drains. The City of Los Alamitos' Catch Basin CPS project proposes the installation of 118 Connector Pipe Screens (CPS) debris collection devices citywide. The installation of the proposed CPS units will be an instrumental benefit as a water protection device and cover a drainage area of approximately 1.87 square miles.
Catchbasin CPS (Connector Pipe Screens) Project
February 28, 2022
The City of Los Alamitos' storm drain system is directly connected to the Los Alamitos Channel which then drains into the San Gabriel River. The Connector Pipe Screens (CPS) will give the city the great opportunity to continue to reduce the transportation related pollution that enters receiving water and impacts Orange County's surface and groundwater system specifically on high-traffic streets such as Katella Avenue and Los Alamitos Boulevard.
Connector Pipe Screen (CPS) is a form of catch basin protection that primarily targets trash and debris larger than 5mm in size. The CPS is inserted into selected catch basins and mounted in front of the basin's outlet pipe using a pre-installed bracketing system.
CPS are preconfigured in compliance with the basin size and outlet pipe locations. Once installed, Connector Pipe Screens retain large volumes of trash and sediment inside the catch basin instead of the debris being conveyed through the storm water system. Debris the size of cigarette butts and larger is stored inside of the catch basin and regularly removed.
The proposed project will significantly benefit the San Gabriel Watershed. The proposed Connector Pipe Screens are stainless steel and will be annually inspected and cleaned by the City’s Public Works Division.
DISCUSSION
Staff seeks approval to advertise and solicit bids for the catchbasin CPS unit installation project in order to commence the project and spend the grant proceeds. The City must award a contract by June 30, 2022. Staff is working closely with OCTA to ensure all compliance requirements are met.
The following is an approximate timeline for the completion of the CPS unit installation:
• 2/28/2022 Approval of plans & specifications by the City Council • 3/09/2022 Advertise project
• 3/30/2022 Bid opening

The City has been granted with $51,524 towards this project from Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA). The City’s matching funds of 20% ($12,880) are to be provided from the General Fund. Since the original estimate, Staff has been made aware that the project cost have increased exceptionally and that the City will recieve higher bids for the project. Staff will award the bid with the same dollar figures but will notify OCTA and reduce the scope of installations as necessary. Staff will seek approval of any additional funds if required once bids are reviewed.

Any bidder or contractor not so licensed shall be subject to all legal penalties imposed by law including, but not limited to, any appropriate disciplinary action by the Contractors’ State Board. Failure of the bidder to obtain proper and adequate licensing for an award of a contract shall constitute a failure to execute the contract and shall result in the forfeiture of the security of the bidder.

In the event that any bidder acting as a prime Contractor has an interest in more than one proposal, all such proposals will be rejected, and the bidder will be disqualified.
This restriction does not apply to subcontractors or suppliers who may submit quotations to more than one bidder, and while doing so, may also submit a formal proposal as a prime Contractor.
B1.18 REJECTION OF PROPOSALS
The Agency reserves the right to reject any and all proposals, to waive any irregularity, and to reject any proposals which are incomplete, obscure or irregular; any proposals which omit a bid on any one or more items on which bids are required; which omit unit prices if unit prices are required; in which unit prices are unbalanced in the opinion of the Agency; which are accompanied by insufficient or irregular bid security; or which are from bidders who have previously failed to perform properly or to timely complete contracts of any nature.
B1.19 AWARD OF CONTRACT
The Contract will be awarded, if at all, to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder, whose bid proposal is not rejected for cause by the Agency. However, until an award is made, the Agency reserves right will be reserved to reject any or all bids, and to waive technical errors or discrepancies, if to do so is deemed to best serve the interests of the Agency. In no event will an award be made until all necessary investigations are made as to the responsibility and qualifications of the bidder to whom it is proposed to make such an award.
Each bidder’s attention is directed to the possibility that the award of the project may be delayed for various reasons. The Agency reserves the right to delay the award of the project for 45 calendar days.
After 45 calendar days, the low bidder may at any time request release from its bid without penalty.
The acceptance of a proposal will be evidenced by a Notice of Award of Contract in writing, delivered by mail to the bidder whose proposal is accepted.

B1.20 RETURN OF PROPOSAL GUARANTEES
Within ten (10) calendar days after the bids are opened, the Agency will release the proposal guarantees accompanying the proposals which are not to be considered in making the award.

B2.21 EXECUTION OF CONTRACT
The contract agreement shall be executed in duplicate by the successful bidder and returned, together with the contract bonds and evidence of insurance, within ten (10) calendar days after the notification of the contract award by the Agency in writing.

In the event that a dispute arises between AGENCY and CONTRACTOR whether the conditions materially differ, or involve hazardous waste, or cause a decrease or increase in CONTRACTOR’s cost of, or time required for, performance of any part of the work, CONTRACTOR shall not be excused from any scheduled completion date provided in the AGREEMENT, but shall proceed with all work to be performed under the AGREEMENT.

IN THE CITY OF LOS ALAMITOS, CALIFORNIA
[Business & Professions Code § 7028.15]
[Public Contract Code § 20103.5]
I, the undersigned, certify that I am aware of the following provisions of California law and that I, or the entity on whose behalf this certification is given, hold a currently valid California contractor’s license as set forth below:
Business & Professions Code § 7028.15:
a) It is a misdemeanor for any person to submit a bid to a public agency to engage in the business or act in the capacity of a contractor within this state without having a license therefor, except in any of the following cases:
(1)The person is particularly exempted from this chapter. (2)The bid is submitted on a state project governed by Section 10164 of the Public Contract Code or on any local agency project governed by Section 20104 [now § 20103.5] of the Public Contract Code.
b) If a person has been previously convicted of the offense described in this section, the court shall impose a fine of 20 percent of the price of the contract under which the unlicensed person performed contracting work, or four thousand five hundred dollars ($4,500), whichever is greater, or imprisonment in the county jail for not less than 10 days nor more than six months, or both.
In the event the person performing the contracting work has agreed to furnish materials and labor on an hourly basis, “the price of the contract” for the purposes of this subdivision means the aggregate sum of the cost of materials and labor furnished and the cost of completing the work to be performed.
c) This section shall not apply to a joint venture license, as required by Section 7029.1.
However, at the time of making a bid as a joint venture, each person submitting the bid shall be subject to this section with respect to his/her individual licenser. d) This section shall not affect the right or ability of a licensed architect, land surveyor, or registered professional engineer to form joint ventures with licensed contractors to render services within the scope of their respective practices. e) Unless one of the foregoing exceptions applies, a bid submitted to a public agency by a contractor who is not licensed in accordance with this chapter shall be considered nonresponsive and shall be rejected by the public agency. Unless one of the foregoing exceptions applies, a local public agency shall, before awarding a contract or issuing a purchase order, verify that the contractor was properly licensed when the contractor submitted the bid. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, unless one of the foregoing exceptions applies, the registrar may issue a citation to any public officer or employee of a public entity who knowingly awards a contract or issues a purchase order to a contractor who is not licensed pursuant to this chapter. The amount of civil penalties, appeal, and finality of such citations shall be subject to Sections 7028.7 to 7028.13, inclusive. Any contract awarded to, or any purchase order issued to, as contractor who is not licensed pursuant to this chapter is void. f) Any compliance or noncompliance with subdivision (e) of this section, as added by Chapter 863 of the Statutes of 1989, shall not invalidate any contract or bid awarded by a public agency during which time that subdivision was in effect.
SECTION D – Page 19
CONTRACT INFORMATION AND DOCUMENT
g) A public employee or officer shall not be subject to a citation pursuant to this section if the public employee, officer, or employing agency made an inquiry to the board for the purposes of verifying the license status of any person or contractor and the board failed to respond to the inquiry within three business days. For purposes of this section, a telephone response by the board shall be deemed sufficient.
Public Contract Code § 20103.5:
In all contracts subject to this part where federal funds are involved, no bid submitted shall be invalidated by the failure of the bidder to be licensed in accordance with the laws of this state.
However, at the time the contract is awarded, the contractor shall be properly licensed in accordance with the laws of this state. The first payment for work or material under any contract shall not be made unless and until the Registrar of Contractors verifies to the agency that the records of the Contractors’ State License Board indicate that the contractor was properly licensed at the time the contract was awarded. Any bidder or contractor not so licensed shall be subject to all legal penalties imposed by law, including, but not limited to, any appropriate disciplinary action by the Contractors’ State License Board. The agency shall include a statement to that effect in the standard form of pre-qualification questionnaire and financial statement. Failure of the bidder to obtain proper and adequate licensing for an award of a contract shall constitute a failure to execute the contract and shall result in the forfeiture of the security of the bidder.

If, in the opinion of the Engineer, the defective work is not of sufficient magnitude or importance to make the work dangerous or undesirable, or if, in the opinion of the Engineer, the removal of such work is impractical or will create conditions which are dangerous or undesirable, the Agency shall have the right and authority to retain such work instead of requiring it to be removed and reconstructed, but will make such deductions thereof in the payments due or to become due to the Contractor as the Agency may deem just and reasonable.
4-4 TESTING
Replace the third and fourth sentences of the first paragraph with the following:
Except as elsewhere specified, the Agency will bear the cost of testing material and/or workmanship which meet or exceed the requirements indicated in the Standard Specifications and the Special Provisions.

Along with information supplied by the Contractor regarding equivalency of the proposed item, the Contractor shall clearly identify all deviations from the specified item. Deviations discovered by the Engineer after acceptance of an “or equal” item which were not identified by the Contractor with his/her submittal shall be cause for rejection of the “or equal” item. Contractor shall be due no additional compensation in time or money for acceptance or rejection of a proposed “or equal” item and subsequent replacement with the item specified. Contractor shall pay cost to Agency for items requiring more than two submittals and analysis of any shop drawing which requires more than a general review of an “or equal” item.

Replace Subsection 5-4.2 with the following:
5-4.2.1 GENERAL. CONTRACTOR and AGENCY agree that Agency, its employees, agents and officials should, to the extent permitted by law, be fully protected from any loss, injury, damage, claim, lawsuit, cost, expense, attorneys fees, litigation costs, defense costs, court costs or any other cost arising out of or in any way related to the performance of this Agreement. Accordingly, the provisions of this indemnity provision are intended by the parties to be interpreted and construed to provide the fullest protection possible under the law to the Agency. CONTRACTOR acknowledges that AGENCY would not have entered into this Agreement in the absence of the commitment of CONTRACTOR to indemnify and protect AGENCY as set forth here.
5-4.2.2 To the full extent permitted by law, CONTRACTOR shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless AGENCY, its employees, agents and officials, from any liability, claims, suits, actions, arbitration proceedings, administrative proceedings, regulatory proceedings, losses, expenses or costs of any kind, whether actual, alleged, or threatened, actual attorneys fees incurred by AGENCY, court costs, interest, defense costs including expert witness fees and any other costs or expenses of any kind whatsoever without restriction or limitation incurred in relation to, as a consequence of, arising out of or in any way attributable actually, allegedly or impliedly, in whole or in part to the performance of this Agreement. All obligations under this provision are to be paid by CONTRACTOR as they are incurred by the AGENCY. 5-4.2.3 Without affecting the rights of AGENCY under any provision of this agreement or this section, CONTRACTOR shall not be required to indemnify and hold harmless AGENCY as set forth above for liability attributable to the sole fault of AGENCY, provided such sole fault is determined by agreement between the parties or the findings of a court of competent jurisdiction.
This exception will apply only in instances where the AGENCY is shown to have been solely at fault and not in instances where CONTRACTOR is solely or partially at fault or in instances where AGENCY’s fault accounts for only a percentage of the liability involved. In those instances, the obligation of CONTRACTOR will be all-inclusive and AGENCY will be indemnified for all liability incurred, even though a percentage of the liability is attributable to the conduct of the AGENCY.
SECTION E – Page 12
STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS
5-4.2.4 CONTRACTOR acknowledges that its obligation pursuant to this section extends to liability attributable to AGENCY, if that liability is less than the sole fault of AGENCY. CONTRACTOR has no obligation under this Agreement for liability proven in a court of competent jurisdiction or by written agreement between the parties to be the sole fault of AGENCY. 5-4.2.5 The obligations of CONTRACTOR under this or any other provision of this Agreement will not be limited by the provisions of any workers compensation act or similar act. CONTRACTOR expressly waives its statutory immunity under such statutes or laws as to AGENCY, its employees, agents and officials.
5-4.2.6 CONTRACTOR agrees to obtain executed indemnity agreements with provisions identical to those as set forth here in this section from each and every subcontractor, sub-tier contractor or any other person or entity involved by, for, with or on behalf of CONTRACTOR in the performance or subject matter of this Agreement. In the event CONTRACTOR fails to obtain such indemnity obligations from others as required here, CONTRACTOR agrees to be fully responsible according to the terms of this section.
5-4.2.7 Failure of AGENCY to monitor compliance with these requirements imposes no additional obligations on AGENCY and will in no way act as a waiver of any rights hereunder. This obligation to indemnify and defend AGENCY as set forth herein is binding on the successors, assigns or heirs of CONTRACTOR and shall survive the termination of this Agreement or this section. 5-4.2.8 CONTRACTOR agrees to provide insurance in accordance with the requirements as set forth here. If CONTRACTOR uses existing coverage to comply with these requirements and that coverage does not meet the requirements set forth herein, CONTRACTOR agrees to amend, supplement or endorse the existing coverage to do so. The following coverages will be provided by CONTRACTOR and maintained on behalf of AGENCY and in accordance with the requirements set forth herein. 5-4.2.9 Commercial General Liability/Umbrella Insurance. Primary insurance shall be provided on ISOCGL form No. CG 00 01 11 85 or 88. Total limits shall be not less than two million dollars ($2,000,000.00) per occurrence for all coverages and two million dollars ($2,000,000.00) general aggregate. AGENCY and its officers, agents and employees shall be named as additional insureds using ISO additional insureds endorsement form CG 20 10 11 85 (in no event will AGENCY accept an endorsement form with an edition date later than 1990). Coverage shall apply on a primary noncontributing basis in relation to any other insurance or self-insurance, primary or excess, available to AGENCY or any employee or agent of AGENCY. Coverage shall not be limited to the vicarious liability or supervisory role of any additional insured. Umbrella Liability Insurance (over primary) shall apply to bodily injury/property damage, personal injury/advertising injury, at a minimum, and shall include a “drop down” provision providing primary coverage above a maximum of $25,000.00 self-insured retention for liability not covered by primary policies but covered by the umbrella policy. Coverage shall be following form to any underlying coverage. Coverage shall be provided on a “pay on behalf” basis, with defense costs payable in addition to policy limits. There shall be no cross-liability exclusion.
Policies shall have concurrent starting and ending dates.
Each policy of insurance shall contain a clause prohibiting cancellation, modification or lapse without thirty (30) days prior written notice having been given to the City. All insurance policies shall be subject to approval by the City Attorney and certificates evidencing such policies shall be provided to the City concurrently with the filing of all required bonds.
5.4.2.10 Business Auto/Umbrella Liability Insurance. Primary coverage shall be written on ISO Business Auto Coverage form CA 00 01 06 92 including symbol 1 (Any Auto). Limits shall be no less than two million dollars ($2,000,000.00) per accident. Starting and ending dates shall be concurrent. If SECTION E – Page 13
STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS
CONTRACTOR owns no autos, a non-owned auto endorsement to the General Liability policy drafted above is acceptable.
5-4.3 WORKERS’ COMPENSATION INSURANCE
Replace Subsection 5-4.3 with the following:
5-4.3.1 Workers’ Compensation/Employers’ Liability shall be written on a policy form providing workers’ compensation statutory benefits as required by law. Employers’ liability limits shall be no less than one million dollars per accident or disease. Employers’ liability coverage shall be scheduled under any umbrella policy described above. Unless otherwise agreed, this policy shall be endorsed to waive any right of subrogation as respects the AGENCY, its officers, agents or employees. 5-4.3.2 CONTRACTOR and AGENCY further agree as follows:
5-4.3.2.1 This Section supersedes all other sections and provisions of this Agreement to the extent that any other section or provision conflicts with or impairs the provisions of this Section. 5-4.3.2.2 Nothing contained in this Section is to be construed as affecting or altering the legal status of the parties to this Agreement. The insurance requirements set forth in this Section are intended to be separate and distinct from any other provision in this Agreement and shall be interpreted as such. 5-4.3.2.3 All insurance coverage and limits provided pursuant to this Agreement shall apply to the full extent of the policies involved, available, or applicable. Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other agreement relating to the AGENCY or its operations limits the application of each insurance coverage.
5-4.3.2.4 Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this Section are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits or other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any insurance. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only and is not intended by any party to be all-inclusive, or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a waiver of any type.
5-4.3.2.5 For purposes of insurance coverage only, this Agreement shall be deemed to have been executed immediately upon any party hereto taking any steps that can be deemed to be in furtherance of or towards performance of this Agreement.
5-4.3.2.6 All general or auto liability insurance coverage provided pursuant to this Agreement, or any other agreements pertaining to the performance of this Agreement, shall not prohibit CONTRACTOR, and CONTRACTOR’s agents, officers or employees from waiving the right of subrogation prior to a loss.
Contractor hereby waives all rights of subrogation against AGENCY. 5-4.3.2.7 Unless otherwise approved by AGENCY, CONTRACTOR’s insurance shall be written by insurers authorized to do business in the State of California and with a minimum “Best’s” Insurance Guide rating of “A+VIII.” Self-insurance will not be considered to comply with these insurance specifications.
5-4.3.2.8 In the event any policy of insurance required by this Agreement does not comply with these requirements or is canceled and not replaced, AGENCY has the right but not the duty to obtain the insurance it deems necessary and any premium paid by AGENCY will be promptly reimbursed by CONTRACTOR. Upon CONTRACTOR’s failure to make such reimbursement within 30 days of written demand, AGENCY may deduct that sum from any monies due CONTRACTOR hereunder or otherwise.
SECTION E – Page 14
STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS
5-4.3.2.9 CONTRACTOR agrees to provide evidence of the insurance required herein, satisfactory to AGENCY, consisting of certificate(s) of insurance evidencing all of the coverages required and an additional insured endorsement to CONTRACTOR’s general liability and umbrella liability policy (if any) using ISO form CG 20 10 11 85. Certificate(s) are to reflect that the insurer will provide 30 days’ notice of any cancellation of coverage. CONTRACTOR agrees to require its insurer to modify such certificates to delete any exculpatory wording stating that failure of insurer to mail written notice of cancellation imposes no obligation, and to delete the word “endeavor” with regard to any notice provisions. CONTRACTOR agrees to provide complete copies of policies to AGENCY upon request. 5-4.3.2.10 CONTRACTOR shall provide proof that policies of insurance required herein expiring during the term of this Agreement have been renewed or replaced with other policies providing at least the same coverage. Such proof shall be furnished within 72 hours of the expiration of the coverages. 5-4.3.2.11 Any actual or alleged failure on the part of AGENCY or any other additional insured under these requirements to obtain proof of insurance required under this Agreement in no way waives any right or remedy of AGENCY or any additional insured, in this or any other regard. 5-4.3.2.12 CONTRACTOR agrees to require all subcontractors or other parties hired for this project to provide general liability insurance naming as additional insureds all parties to this Agreement.
CONTRACTOR agrees to obtain certificates evidencing such coverage and make reasonable efforts to ensure that such coverage is provided as required here. CONTRACTOR agrees to require that no contract used by any subcontractor, or contracts CONTRACTOR enters into on behalf of AGENCY, will reserve the right to charge back to AGENCY the cost of insurance required by this Agreement.
CONTRACTOR agrees that upon request, all agreements with subcontractors or others with whom CONTRACTOR contracts on behalf of AGENCY will be submitted to AGENCY for review. Failure of AGENCY to request copies of such agreement will not impose any liability on AGENCY, its officers, agents, or employees.
5-4.3.2.13 If CONTRACTOR is a Limited Liability Company, general liability coverage must be amended so that the Limited Liability Company and its Managers, Affiliates, employees, agents and other persons necessary or incidental to its operations are insureds. 5-4.3.2.14 CONTRACTOR agrees to provide immediate notice to AGENCY of any claim or loss against CONTRACTOR that includes AGENCY as a defendant. AGENCY 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.

Deviation from these hours will be permitted upon approval of the Engineer, except in emergencies involving immediate hazard to persons or property.
Deviations from these hours will not be permitted without the prior consent of the Engineer, except in emergencies involving immediate hazard to persons or property. In the event of either a requested or emergency deviation, inspection service fees will be charged against the Contractor. Service fees will be calculated at overtime rates including benefits, overhead, and travel time; and will be deducted from the amounts due the Contractor.
Failure of the Contractor to adhere to working day requirements will result in damages being sustained by the City. Such damages are, and will continue to be, impracticable and extremely difficult to determine.

6-4.1 GENERAL
Add the following Subsections:
6-4.1.1 Notice of Delays
Whenever the Contractor foresees any delay in the prosecution of the work, and in any event immediately upon the occurrence of any delay which the Contractor regards as unavoidable, he/she shall notify the Engineer in writing of the probability of the occurrence of such delay and its cause so that the Engineer may take immediate steps to prevent, if possible, the occurrence or continuance of the delay, or, if prevention is not possible, may determine whether the delay is to be considered avoidable or unavoidable, how long it continues, and to what extent it will delay the prosecution and completion of the work. It will be concluded that any and all delays which have occurred in the prosecution and completion of the work have been avoidable delays, except such delays as shall have been called to the attention of the Engineer at the time of their occurrence and found by him/her to have been unavoidable. The Contractor shall make no claims for any delay not called to the attention of the Engineer at the time of its occurrence as an unavoidable delay.
6-4.1.2 Avoidable Delays
Avoidable delays in the prosecution or completion of the work shall include all delays which in the opinion of the Engineer would have been avoided by the exercise of care, prudence, foresight, and diligence on the part of the Contractor of his/her subcontractors. The following shall be considered avoidable delays within the meaning of the contract: 1) Delays in the prosecution of parts of the work which may in themselves be unavoidable but do not necessarily prevent or delay the prosecution of other parts of the work or the completion of the whole work within the time herein specified; 2) Reasonable loss of time resulting from the necessity of submitting samples of materials and drawings to the Engineer for approval and from performing tests of materials, measurements, and inspections; 3) Reasonable interference of other contractors employed by the Agency and/or other contractors working in the area which do not necessarily prevent the completion of the whole work within the time agreed upon; 4) Delays resulting from inaccurate or incomplete shop drawing submittals; and 5) Interference of other contractors performing concurrent work.
6-4.1.3 Extension of Time
In case the work is not completed in the time specified, including such extensions of time as may have been granted for unavoidable delays, the Contractor will be assessed damages for delay in accordance with Paragraph 6-9. The Agency, however, shall have the right to grant an extension of time for avoidable delay if it is deemed in his/her best interest to do so. During such extension of time, the Contractor will be charged for engineering and inspection services and other costs as provided in Paragraph 6-4.2.1 but will not be assessed damages pursuant to Paragraph 6-9. 6-4.2 EXTENSIONS OF TIME
SECTION E – Page 17
STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS
Add the following Subsection:
6-4.2.1 Compensation to Agency for Extension of Time
Compensation for extension of time for avoidable delay granted pursuant to Paragraph 6-4.1.3 shall be the actual cost to the Agency for engineering, inspection, general supervision, and overhead expenses which are directly chargeable to the work and which accrue during the period of such extension, except that the cost of final inspection and preparation of the final estimate shall not be included. 6-4.4 WRITTEN NOTICE AND REPORT

Requests for extensions of time shall be supported by all evidence reasonably available or known to the Contractor, which would support the extension of time requested. Requests for extensions of time, which are not received within the time specified above, shall result in the forfeiture of the Contractor’s right to receive any extension of time requested.

The Contractor shall complete all or any designated portion of the Work called for under the Contract within the time set forth in Part C (Proposal) of these Specifications.
In accordance with Government Code 53069.85, and all other applicable law, the Contractor agrees to forfeit and pay the Agency the amount of Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) per day for each and every day of unauthorized delay beyond the completion date, which shall be deducted from any monies due the Contractor. This payment shall be considered liquidated damages. Contractor agrees that such liquidated damages are reasonable under the circumstances existing at the time of execution of the contract, that such liquidated damages are to compensate Agency for losses that are difficult to measure and that such damages are not a penalty.
Failure of the Contractor to perform any covenant or condition contained in the Contract Documents within the time period specified shall constitute a material breach of this Contract entitling the Agency to terminate the Contract unless the Contractor applies for, and receives, an extension of time in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6-4.
SECTION E – Page 18
STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS
Failure of the Agency to insist upon the performance of any covenant or conditions within the time period specified in the Contract Documents shall not constitute a waiver of the Contractor’s duty to complete performance within the designated periods unless the Agency has executed a waiver in writing.

Failure of the Contractor to complete performance promptly within the additional time authorized in a waiver or extension of time agreement shall constitute a material breach of this Contract entitling the Agency to terminate this agreement.
The Contractor shall not be deemed in breach of this Contract and no forfeiture due to delay shall be made because of any delays in the completion of the Work due to unforeseeable causes beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the Contractor provided the Contractor requests an extension of time in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6-4. Unforeseeable causes of delay beyond the control of the Contractor shall include acts of God, acts of a public enemy, acts of the government, acts of the Agency, or acts of another contractor in the performance of a contract with the Agency, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, freight embargoes, and weather, or delays of subcontractors due to such causes, or delays caused by failure of the owner of a utility to provide for removal or relocation of existing utility facilities. Delays caused by actions or neglect of Contractor or his/her agents, servants, employees, officers, subcontractors, directors, or of any party contracting to perform part of all of the Work or to supply any equipment or materials shall not be excusable delays. Excusable delays (those beyond the Contractor’s control) shall not entitle the Contractor to any additional compensation. The sole recourse of the Contractor shall be to seek an extension of time.
Add the following Subsections:
6-10 DISPUTES AND CLAIMS
6-10.1 GENERAL
Any and all decisions made on appeal pursuant to this Subsection 6-10 shall be in writing. Any “decision” purportedly made pursuant to this Subsection 6-10 that is not in writing shall not be binding upon the Agency and should not be relied upon by the Contractor.

B (bypass

B (bypass

Example Selection and Calculation:
Assume we have a 7' wide catch basin with a depth Vb of 3.5' and 18" connector pipe. The Max Q1 is 1.2 CFS and the Max Q10 is 5.3 CFS per the hydrology study table to the right. Select the appropriate screen to pass the 1 year flow then determine the minimum bypass height required to pass the 10 year flow. The 3L18H-6B screen (highlighted in green) passes 8.52 CFS far exceeding the 1.2 CFS requirement. According to the sizing table that unit will bypass
5.52 CFS with a 6" bypass height based on the Orifice Flow bypass equation which is greater than the required 5.3 CFS maximum 10 yr flow seen by the 7' wide catch basin. The bypass is calculated as follows:
Qbypass = cbypassAbypass 2𝑔𝐻
Cbypass = .6 (orifice coefficient)
g= 32.2 ft/s2
Abypass = L (length of screen) x h (bypass height) = (3 x 6/12) = 1.5 ft2 H = depth of water to centroid of bypass (maintaining 6" freeboard) We need to check Clearance and determine the H
Clearance = Vdepth-Hscreen-Hbypass-curb height (must always be > 4") Clearance = 42"-18"-6"-8"=10"
H = Hbypass/2 + Clearance - 6" freeboard (sized conservatively) H = 6/2 + 10 - 6 = 7" or .583 ft
Finally, Qbypass = cbypassAbypass 2𝑔𝐻
Qbypass = .6 x 1.5 𝟐 𝒙 𝟑𝟐.𝟐 𝒙 .𝟓𝟖𝟑 = 5.52cfs
Definining the Orifice bypass equation for CPS with deflector lids Qbypass = cbypassAbypass 2𝑔𝐻
Cbypass = .6 (coefficient)
g= 32.2 ft/s2
Abypass = L (length of screen) x h (bypass height)
H = depth of water to centroid of bypass
STANDARD LENGTHS, VARIABLE BYPASS HEIGHTS
ADS CPS units are standardized with a pre-set Length of screen (L). The height of the bypass is the variable used to confirm that the total Qbypass for the CPS with Lid design exceeds the Max Q10 for a certain CB width. The sizing table below shows the resultant Qbypass for the various B (bypass heights).
Determine CPS model number based on screen length and height - bypass height - and screen shape. For example Model 3L18H-8-U is 3' wide x 18" tall, has 8" bypass height, and is "U" shaped.
Custom lengths and heights are available for any catch basin.
ADS – FLEXSTORM CONNECTOR PIPE SCREEN (CPS) WORK INSTRUCTIONS
1.0 Product Selection: Installer to determine which CPS Model to install based on 1. Flow Ratings, 2. Bypass Requirements, 3. Location of Connector Pipe inside the catch basin (see Product Selection Guide).
2.0 Materials: All FLEXSTORM CPS are comprised entirely of 304 stainless steel and brought to the field pre-configured for easy assembly once Product Selection is confirmed; All Models are supplied with vertical upright mounting brackets which accept qty (4) 3/8” x 3” minimum stainless anchor bolts. All bypass lids require a qty (2) 3/8” x 3” min stainless anchor bolts.
Mounting brackets are equipped with slotted holes to allow for varied contours on walls and sloped floors.
3.0 Installation of Base Model: Drop CPS through the manhole opening. Position the CPS evenly spaced around the connector pipe ensuring a minimum of 4” spacing away from any corners. Loosen the bolts in the slotted holes which connect the screen to the upright mounting brackets until the bottom is flush with the floor. Tighten the bolts and mark the hole locations on the wall for the stainless anchor bolts. Drill holes and hammer the bolts in place and secure the CPS using stainless nuts. If the bottom of the base exposes more than a 5 mm gap then an additional base face strip may be fastened to the base channel using stainless tek screws or rivets. This base face strip matches the length and contour of the primary base.
3.1 Installation of Bypass Lid: If the bypass lid is required verify the minimum bypass height needed and mark the “B” bypass height location on the wall directly above the base uprights.
Lift the lid in place and mark the hole locations for the lid mounting brackets. Drill holes and hammer the bolts in place and secure the lid with the stainless nuts.
4.0 Removal of CPS: In certain locations, the CPS may need to be removed in order to provide increased accessibility through the manhole entry. In such cases, the CPS would utilize the “Quick Release” wall mount bracket set and standard CPS flanges. See the installation drawing labeled Removable CPS Detail for step by step instructions. In standard installations, the CPS can be removed by simply loosening the 3/8” anchor nuts that secure it to the wall.
5.0 Warranty: ADS – FLEXSTORM warrants the CPS material to be free of defects and guarantees base framing integrity for a period of 3 years from installation date.
ADS – FLEXSTORM CONNECTOR PIPE SCREEN (CPS) MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES FLEXSTORM suggests that its Connector Pipe Screens (CPS) be maintained per this modified set of conditions from the LA County CPS Standards. FLEXSTORM advises that catch basins be cleaned out at least 2 times per year and/or if debris has filled above a 40% level inside of the catch basin. Sites with large amounts of foliage, high sediment loads, or smaller CPS devices might need to be cleaned more frequently.
Maintenance Conditions and Maintenance Standards: The Following are deficiencies in maintenance conditions and their corresponding maintenance standards which shall apply to the Connector Pipe Screen. The cleanout of each CB shall meet the maintenance standards listed as follows:
Description of Maintenance Actions
1 Clear trash and debris located immediately in front of curb opening or side opening of CB, and on top or between metal grates of grated CB. 2 Remove Vegetation growing across and/or blocking the basin opening. 3 Remove all Trash and debris and vegetation from inside the Catch Basin. 4 Remove Trash and debris in the connector pipe opening, upstream or downstream.
5 Knock off/Remove all Debris that covers the perforated openings of the connector pipe screen
6 Ensure there is no Standing Water inside of catch basin (indicates the device is not properly draining)
Trash and debris shall include, but is not limited to, mud, vegetation, and garbage.
Upon completion of a cleanout operation at a CB and before leaving it, the Contractor shall sweep the top surface of the CB and the area 2 feet around the CB, and shall remove any trash and debris resulting from the cleanout operations. No debris is to be left at a CB for future pick-up.
Method of Removal: All trash and debris required to be removed from the CBs shall be removed in a manner to be determined by the Contractor. This can be done by hand or with a truck mounted vacuum.
If entering the catch basin ensure that local confined space entry procedures are followed. The Contractor shall not allow any trash or debris to enter the connector pipe or main line as a result of the cleanout operations.
Debris Disposal: All trash and debris removed under this Contract shall become the property of the Contractor and shall be legally disposed of away from the CB sites. The Contractor is responsible for proper disposal of the trash and debris, including obtaining approvals from all jurisdictional agencies, as applicable. The contractor shall be responsible for contacting and coordinating with local Animal Care and Control for pickup and disposal of dead animals. However, the Contractor shall be responsible for removing any dead animal from inside a CB.

To: Mayor Shelley Hasselbrink & Members of the City Council Presented By: Windmera Quintanar, MMC, City Clerk
Subject: Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) 2022 Regional Conference and General Assembly
SUMMARY
The Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) Regional Conference and General Assembly will be held at the JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort and Spa in Palm Desert, CA on Thursday, May 5, 2022. Each year, SCAG’s member cities select a Delegate and/or Alternate to represent their City and participate at the conference.
RECOMMENDATION
1. Appoint a representative to attend and serve as the City’s Voting Delegate for the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) General Assembly; and,
2. Appoint a Council Member to attend and serve as the City’s Alternate Voting Delegate in the event of the Voting Delegate’s absence.
BACKGROUND
Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) is the nation's largest metropolitan planning organization, representing six counties, 191 cities and more than 18 million residents. SCAG undertakes a variety of planning and policy initiatives to encourage a more sustainable Southern California now and in the future.
At least once every year, SCAG convenes the General Assembly to help set the agency's course for the coming year. The General Assembly is a forum where policy matters can be identified and addressed. A quorum of the General Assembly consists of official representation from one-third of the member cities and one-third of the member counties.
Each member county and each member city has one official representative and one alternate in the General Assembly, except the City of Los Angeles, which has three official representatives and three alternates due to its population size. Member cities and 2022 SCAG General Assembly
