TO:
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
APPROVED BY:
PREPARED BY:
Gabriel Linares, Director of Community Development
SUBJECT:
FIRST AMENDMENT TO PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT
WITH AVANT GARDE INC.
Agenda Item # 8.2.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution entitled: “A
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LYNWOOD, COUNTY OF LOS
ANGELES, STATE OF CALIFORNIA AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF A FIRST
AMENDMENT TO PROFESSIONAL SERVICE AGREEMENT WITH AVANT GARDE INC
FOR THE PURPOSE OF PROVIDING ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES FOR THE COMMERCIAL FAÇADE GRANT PROGRAM.”
Background:
At its regular meeting of April 19, 2022, the Lynwood City Council approved Resolution No. 2022.065 appropriating $830,000 in ARPA funding for program implementation of a Commercial Façade Grant utilizing Coronavirus Local Recovery Funds awarded to the City of Lynwood under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA).
The grant program established the Business Beautification/Façade Improvement Plan to issue grants with an initial grant amount of $10,000, that would support basic repairs, facade improvements and beautification of high-need commercial corridors in the city affected by COVID -19 closures and other safety or quality of life impacts.
On July 25, 2022, the City’s On-Call Consultant, Avant Garde, was brought in to initiate the City’s Commercial Façade Program, under the City Manager’s authority for a not-to-exceed City Council City Council Regular Meeting 31
amount of $25,000.
Discussion and Analysis:
The City Council has received updates and provided staff direction for further discussion and implementation of the program at the Regular City Council meetings of March 21, 2023, and April 4, 2023, and April 18, 2023.
At the April 18, 2023, Regular City Council meeting, the City Council authorized an increase to the grant amount to $20,000 and allow staff the flexibility to award up to $25,000 based on funding availability due to the increase cost of materials and labor and the bids received thus far. The increase would allow staff to move forward with the improvements for applicants that have received bids.
On April 4, 2023, the City Council directed staff to fund 75 applicants. On April 18, 2023, the City Council approved the appropriation of additional ARPA funds for 75 applicants and the administrative costs required for the program.
Currently, staff are requesting that the City Council approve Amendment No.1 to the Professional Service Agreement with Avant Garde Inc. in the amount of $170,625 to continue the administration of the program and extend the term to June 30, 2024. The scope of work will include:

Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution entitled: “A
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LYNWOOD AWARDING A
CONTRACT TO SA ASSOCIATES FOR LONG BEACH METER UPGRADE AND LINE ABANDONMENT DESIGN PROJECT NO. 4011.68.065, IN THE AMOUNT OF $250,000;
AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO APPROVE AGREEMENT AMENDMENTS RELATED TO THE PROJECT; AND AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE THE AGREEMENT.”
Background:
The City provides drinking water to its residents from local groundwater and import water through an extensive distribution system. Groundwater is pumped from the Central Groundwater Basin through five active wells located throughout the City. The City’s water service area is approximately 4.7 square miles in size and covers approximately 90 percent of the land within the City’s municipal boundaries.
There are inaccessible waterlines in the system that run through private properties. In efforts to re-route those waterlines, customer meter connections were moved to the front of the properties along Long Beach Boulevard from Josephine Street and Euclid Avenue in a previous Capital Improvement Project (CIP).
The design work requested for approval is comprised of relocating customer meter connections to the existing Long Beach Boulevard meter boxes, abandoning the current line, and adding new waterlines to several streets. The upgrade will improve circulation and create new and accessible distribution water lines.

PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT
We have reviewed the Professional Service Agreement in the RFP, and have the following comments:
EXHIBIT B: GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
3. Indemnification.
B. City and its respective elected and appointed boards, officials, officers, agents, employees and volunteers (individually and collectively, "Indemnities") shall have no liability to Consultant or any other person for, and Consultant shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless, but not defend, Indemnities from and against, any and all liabilities, claims, actions, causes of action, proceedings, suits, damages, judgments, liens, levies, costs and expenses of whatever nature, including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements (collectively "Claims"), which Indemnities may suffer or incur or to which Indemnities may become subject by reason of or arising out of any injury to or death of any person(s), damage to property, loss of use of property, econo mic loss or other loss occurring as a result of or allegedly but only to the extent actually caused by Consultant’s performance of or failure to perform any services under this Agreement or by the negligent or willful acts or omissions of Consultant, its agents, officers, directors, subcontractor, sub consultant or employees, committed in performing any of the services under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this subsection shall not apply to Claims occurring because of the City’s sole negligence or willful acts or omissions.
4. Insurance.
G. Consultant agrees that if it does not keep the previously mentioned insurance in full force and effect and such insurance is available at a reasonable cost. City may take out the necessary insurance and pay the premium thereon, and the repayment thereof shall be deemed an obligation of Consultant’s and the cost of such insurance may be deducted, at the option of City, from payments due Consultant.
LEGAL ISSUES
SA Associates had one minor litigation matter where we were named in a suit as one of the parties. The roof of a chemical treatment tank collapsed due to contractor negligence. The matter was settled in 2017 with no cost to the client or SA Associates. There are no issues that may affect our performance under a contract with the City. The firm and its principal are not the subject of any investigation by the County, State, and//or Federal agencies within the past five years.
QUALITY ASSURANCE/QUALITY CONTROL PROGRAM
It is the goal of SA Associates to present clients with a superior product and responsive service. We are aware we can only continue to grow and remain a viable influence in the consulting engin eering profession if we produce an excellent product. That is why we have established “excellence in engineering” as our credo. A sound company policy that emphasizes technical strength, professional conduct, efficiency and communication is applied to each project in order to achieve excellence. This policy is the basis of our Quality Assurance / Quality Control (QA/QC) program.
To ensure quality , conformity, and enhanced client satisfaction , a uniform review and checking procedure for all project documents is adopted and effectively applied through the QA/QC plan. All project deliverables undergo two reviews to maintain high quality. The first review is conducted by the QA/QC Manager to provide initial technical input, direction, and evaluation of alternat ives. The second review is a detailed, coordinated review by the QA/QC Manager with selected lead personnel reflecting comments from the first review. This procedure ensures all work is reviewed and checked prior to each submittal to the client. Each membe r of our team makes it his/her responsibility to perform the services per the QA/QC program, and to ensure that what is stated in writing or shown on drawings is correct, cost effective, and in conformance with SA Associates’ standards.
Quality Assurance Program
Our basic philosophy to quality assurance is:
63 Proposal for Long Beach Meter Upgrade and Line Abandonment Project
SECTION I: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Page 3 of 4
• Our review and checking procedure is a systematic approach with sufficient flexibility to be workable with a wide variety of projects. The timing and level of review is consistent with project needs. • All projects are reviewed by an experienced individual not directly involved in the project but generally familiar with the project and the client.
• Responsibility for the quality of the final product rests jointly with the Project Manager/Engineer a nd the reviewer/checker.
• Responsibility for scheduling review and checking rests with the Project Manager/Engineer. • All projects must be “signed off” by the checker following review and/or checking.
Quality Control Program
Upon award of contract and subsequent negotiation (as required), SA Associates would meet with project staff to confirm Client objectives regarding, but not limited to:
• Client needs and intent related to the projects technical aspects, public policy, and image.
• Satisfying the need of users of the final project.
• Contractor requirements, limitations, and preferences. • Any other matters that may be peculiar to the project.
COST CONTROL
SA Associates’ staff performs at a level of difficulty that minimizes redu ndant or unnecessary activity. Meeting deadlines and attention to detail are primary objectives. Cost control is also exercised with the same importance dedicated to technical problem solving.
Staff engineers apply value analysis/investigation techniques in a systematic approach to obtain optimal value for any marginal cost increase. The result of this approach is to lower total and life cycle costs without sacrificing quality, performance, or reliability.
Project costs are reviewed on a weekly basis by the Project Manager. These costs are reviewed against the budget and schedule. The effort required to complete the project is estimated. In this way, if the budget is close to exceeding, steps can be taken to remedy the situation.
Using these principles and methods, SA Associates has a proven track records of meeting schedules and controlling costs.
ACCURACY OF ENGINEER’S ESTIMATES
SA Associates has a proven record of construction cost estimates resulting in a 90% confidence that the actual cost will fall within the bounds of the low and high bid ranges. To achieve this accuracy level, SA Associates prepared them based on experience, market fluctuations, latest bids received by contractors, understanding of the complexity of the project, and the inclusion of an appropriate contingency determination. Cost estimates are typically prepared in stages, namely preliminary, 60 percent design completion, and final. Each stage is refined/honed as the project advances, and SA Associates acquires a better understanding of the project, its ’ complexity, & potential problems that can be encountered during construction or permit acquisition, resulting in a more accurate estimate.

COORDINATION WITH SUBCONSULTANTS
Our engineers give our subconsultants a specific scope of work, project parameters, and schedule to perform the work. Our subs will provide a fee to provide these services. Once the information is received from our subs, our engineers carefully review the reports to ensure all items requested have been received. If further information is still needed, we contact our subconsultant to provide the data as soon as possible to make sure the s chedule can be met. If the scope is modified by the client, we will ask for an updated fee estimate and schedule. All invoices received from subconsultants are reviewed to assure that the work has been completed within budget. We have worked with most of our subs on multiple projects.
Project Management/Team Experience
As you will see throughout this proposal, our Team has considerable experience in the management of various civil engineering projects. The Team has worked on numerous similar projects in the last several years. Our previous knowledge and experience on si milar projects give us an advantage in providing the most innovative solutions to difficult design issues. Our project team has worked together on several project management projects in the recent past. This cohesiveness will be a great benefit to you in the preparation of the design.
COMMUNICATIONS
Communications is an important element of the design of your project. We will provide design submittals and deliverables in the proper format for your review and use. We will meet with City staff on a regular basis to keep the City informed on progress and issues affecting the design.
DIRECT PRINCIPAL INVOLVEMENT
A commitment to principal involvement in every project is a cornerstone of our success. Quality Assurance/Quality Control is personally directed by our principal. He is directly involved in project oversight and quality control issues throughout the project. This results in a personalized service to every client with ease of communication and responsiveness to your project needs.
OUR COMMITMENT TO THE CITY OF LYNWOOD
We are committed to providing and delivering to the City the highest quality project design, implementing proven and successful design techniques resulting in a systematic approach to obtain optimum value for your dollars spent.
Our aim is to provide you with an economical design without affecting performance and reliability.
The Team will provide quality resources to manage and complete the Project. We will work within the framework of the Project Documents and City staff to execute our tasks in a timely manner. We consider ourselves to be available not as contract representatives but as an extension of your staff. For our projects, we believe in developing and maintaining clear lines of communication between all project parties, being proactive in identifying construction issues, and working diligently toward resolution of issues. Based on this approach, you will be assured of a complete project that complies with your project designs and is in accordance with the standards of the indu stry.
SA Associates’ overall approach for your projects is to provide hands -on engineering, in order to create robust contract documents and reduce the risk for change orders and to avoid delays in the construction.

SECTION II: PROJECT UNDERSTANDING AND APPROACH
It is our understanding that the City of Lynwood (City), Public works Department, is seeking to engage a professional engineering consultant to provide design services for the Long Beach Meter Upgrade and Line Abandonment Project (Project). The City intends to improve the existing water system by relocating services on public right -of-way and private properties, along with abandonment of the existing main within the project area.
Based on the RFP, we understand that the City is seeking to make improvements to the existing water main located along the easterly side of Long Beach Boulevard, between Euclid Avenue on the south end and Josephine Street on the north end. This existing water main segment crosses nine (9) streets: Josephine St, Virginia St, Agnes Ave, Cedar Ave, Magnolia Ave, Burton Ave, Carlin Ave, Palm Ave, and Euclid Ave.
The project location calls for improvements to abandon the existing water main (line), therefore we assume a replacement line must be in place prior to abandoning the existing line. Services on public right -of-way and private properties will tie into the new proposed main. The work will also include meter upgrades and tie-ins to adjacent water mains (nine crossing streets), any potential fire hydrants, water valves, others, such as to complete in place the improved water system. It shall also be designed a s per City, local, and federal standards, and as per any agency recommendations having jurisdiction.
The water segment is well within the City boundaries. Therefore, coordination with neighboring cities is not expected.
A total of approximately 3,500 linear feet (LF) of water main is to be replaced. Figure 1 depicts the project limits.
FIGURE 1: PROJECT LOCATION MAP
The work may also include fire service laterals, blow-offs, air release valves, wherever applicable, and street resurfacing.

The SA Associates engineering team is committed to maximizing all of its resources to provide the most cost-effective design for the water main that satisfies the City’s needs. This team has completed numerous water main designs with success for various cities and agencies throughout Southern California. This includes the preparation of plans, specifications, and estimates for the City of Chino for the Quadrant 1.1 Water Main Replacement Project, and the project has just recently completed construction. In addition, we also recently completed plans, specifications, and estimates for Phase 1 for approximately 15,000 LF of water main (DIP and CMLC Steel pipes) replacements for the City of Ontario and have also recently completed PS&E for Phase II with an approximate length of 17,000 LF. Efforts to complete t hese projects also comprised extensive coordination with the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) Division of Drinking Water (DDW) for those instances where proposed main do not comply with horizontal and vertical separation requirements.
We will apply our experience and knowledge onto this Project should we be selected. The crucial part of this is identifying the appropriate alignment for the proposed water main. The goal is to minimize conflicts with nearby utilities, expedite permits/coo rdination with agencies having jurisdiction, minimize vehicle disruptions and to the public, stay focused on the important design items, and ensure the most cost -effective design. If more than one cost effective alignments are feasible, SA Associates will bring it to the City’s attention and will coordinate the best location for maintenance and other issues. For the purpose of expediting the utility coordination process, we have already conducted preliminary utility research using DigAlert and obtained cont act information for the utility companies. Table 1 provides a list of utility companies present within the project limits. We will perform additional research once awarded the Project and receive the Notice to Proceed.

During the preliminary phase, we will contact impacted utility companies to coordinate permitting requirements for encroachment as needed. After coordination is complete, we intend to submit all permits to each respective agency during the engineering design phase.
We also investigated the project site to better understand the characteristics of the water main location, its potential impact to residential or commerce within the affected streets, as well as pinpointing the location of existing utilities and present conditions (i.e., valves, hydrants, etc.), separations to storm drains and water, pavement type and condition, traffic conditions, and other relevant surface features .

SECTION II: PROJECT UNDERSTANDING AND APPROACH Page 5 of 9
The Project is a complex but manageable project that involves multiple facets, including utility company coordination, and City coordination. Based on our reading of the RFP, our site visits, and our general understanding of the project requirements, we believe the following to be key project issues:
• Utility Verification & Protection (Including Potholing/GPR)
Based on our experience with several recent water replacement projects on both the design and construction management side, we have the experience to ensure that utilities are located properly and protected during construction while minimizing risk of change orders to the City. The project limits may contain significant utility presence which affects excavation, backfill, and pipe installation. The utility situation is complex but manageable. To reduce costs associated with the protection of utilities and change orders during construction, the design will consider not only utility information provided from the City and underground utility companies, but also thorough field investigation. Potholing and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) during the design phase will be utilized to eliminate any uncertainty of the various underground utility depths within the proposed alignment. In addition, we will include a note in the plans for the Contractor to perform potholing at all utility crossings. It will also be advantag eous to include utility protection in the Bid Items descriptions in the measurement and payment section of the specifications to emphasize utility protection and to avoid the risk of change orders.
• Safety of Public
Due to the close proximity to various commercial businesses , residential neighborhoods , and school (Helen Keller Elementary School) within the Project limits where the work is proposed, it is of importance to maintain pedestrian and vehicular safety. It will also be important to provide proper barriers to keep public out of the work areas. This can be covered in part on the plans, under the General Notes and in the specifications. It will also be advantageous to provide for public safety in Bid Items descriptions in the Measurement and Payment section of the specifications to emphasize public safety and avoid the risk of change orders. Bid documents will require the Contractor to follow traffic control plans to permit the Contractor to work within the public Right -of-Way efficiently and effectively while maintaining a safe, uniform flow of traffic.
• Traffic Control & Driveway Access
For the overall project, proper traffic control will be required to ensure that the project does not pose safety concerns to the commuters and the public. Traffic control plans are included in our scope of work, and shall comply with all local, state, and federal standards. The specifications will require the Contractor to allow access to driveways at all times during construction.
• Coordination with the City
In order to remove existing piping/valves/appurtenances and install new piping/valves, coordination with City staff/operators is necessary to provide for shutdowns, dewatering, and start -up. With regard to shutdown and dewatering, our specifications can provide for t he Contractor to notify the City seven (7) days in advance of shutdown. With regard to disinfection testing and pressure testing, this can be provided for in CSI Section 15041 (Chlorination of Water Mains for Disinfection) and in Section 15044 (Pressure Te sting) which will require the Contractor to submit a request for use of potable water to the City 48 hours in advance. CSI Section 15041 can also provide that the Contractor refer to Section 01501 “Temporary Utilities" for availability of water . As your design team, we will assist the City to ensure the project plans and specifications facilitate this coordination.
• Coordination with private owners
Coordination and cooperation with property owners are essential for the success of the project, especially fo r those locations where private services are to be installed. All parties shall cooperate to address any concerns in regards to design/drawing layout, specifications, milestones, others, in order to expedite completion of construction work. Close coordin ation shall be provided with private owners to ensure acknowledgment of construction obligations and responsibilities.
KEY ISSUES/CONSTRAINTS/PROBLEMS TO BE ANTICIPATED DURING THE DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION 70 Proposal for Long Beach Meter Upgrade and Line Abandonment Project
SECTION II: PROJECT UNDERSTANDING AND APPROACH Page 6 of 9
Based on the conclusions stated above, it is important that the design team reflect well on the values of the City.
With this in mind, SA Associates is committed to providing quality staff members who are not only capable of satisfying the project tasks but who also have a track record of similar projects and working well with all impacted agencies and local residents / businesses.
As your Consultant, SA Associates will provide quality resources to manage and complete the Project. We consider ourselves to be available not as contract representatives but as an extension of your staff. For our projects, we believe in developing and maintaining clear lines of communication between all project parties, being proactive in identifying construction issues, and working diligently toward resolution of issues. Based on this approach, you will be assured of a complete project that complies with your project designs and is in accordance with the standards of the industry.
Technical Approach
SA Associates’ overall approach for your project is to provide hands on engineering in order to create robust contract documents and reduce the risk of change orders. This project has multiple features that will require proper construction sequencing to avoid delays in construction. With regard to streamlining the design phase of the Project, the key technical approach to be used by the design team is as follows:
1. Expedite coordination among all affected
parties including utility information requests
2. Evaluate design alternatives immediately and
present them to the City
3. Sequence project tasks to occur
simultaneously where possible (i.e., evaluate
alternatives for service connections during the
field survey and digital topo preparation)
4. Coordinate thoroughly throughout the entire
project
5. Sequence meetings to occur at favorable
days/times (i.e., meetings with City staff and
other meetings with impacted
agencies/personnel may occur simultaneously
or subsequently)
For this Project, we will tackle the main driving
factors first which is the topographic survey and
utility research to develop base maps and
determine preliminary alignments . We want to
ensure tha t our design satisfies the City’s needs
and requirements. Furthermore, upon approval of
the preliminary alignment s, we will proceed to
identify any potential conflicts with existing utilities after pothole verification. We also want to identify
these areas quickly to e ngage in coordination with
outside utilities to work out a solution. Taking these
steps as early as we can is crucial to ensure that
the design plans are completed on time and as
scheduled.
TECHNICAL APPROACH
Stage 1
•Topograpic Survey
•Record drawings and utility
coordination
•Coordination with outside
agencies, as needed
Stage 2
•Develop base maps
•Analyze potential alignment(s)
•Prepare Geotechnical investigation

The existing 6” cast iron water main will be replaced with an 8” ductile iron pipe. The design minimized construction and maintenance costs by protecting the existing parkway and pine trees, and providing better access for maintenance of the proposed main.

Well No. 22 Pump House Facilities and Site Improvement
Design of pump house facilities for a new municipal supply well No. 22. The new well is located at Lynwood City Park near the intersection of Birch Street and Spruce Street west of Fred W. Holser Middle School. The site is located adjacent to a residential area and is approximately 5,000 square feet. The well capacity is 2,500 gallons per minute and at a pumping level of about 130 feet below ground surface. The well casing is 18 inches in diameter and the well discharge piping is 12 inches in diameter. The well discharge is controlled by a well-control diaphragm valve (Cla-Val model 51-02) along with a check valve (Cla-Val model 81-02). On-site chlorination is the only well- head treatment provided for the well discharge. The well discharge continues to a n earby water main about 150 feet away. The site includes a perimeter wall, well house building, engine generator building, and a chlorination facilities building. The site also features perimeter landscaping and two 14 foot access gates. The generator serves the site in the event power from Edison is unavailable. The project also includes abandonment of an existing sewer main and design of a new sewer main as a replacement.

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution entitled: “A
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LYNWOOD APPROVING THE
PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS AND AUTHORIZING STAFF TO SOLICIT A NOTICE INVITING BIDS FOR SEWER SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS FY 2023.”
Background:
The City’s wastewater collection system consists of about 80 miles of gravity sewer pipe, 1,800 manholes, 30 inverted siphons and about 10,000 sewer lateral connections. The City’s system conveys untreated wastewater into various County Sanitation Districts’ trunk sewers for transmission, treatment, and disposal.
The City recently completed its Sewer Master Plan, which identified multiple sewer pipelines that were either structurally unsound or were at maximum capacity. The Sewer System Improvement FY2023 Project addresses areas outlined in the Sewer Master Plan for upgrade and/or replacement.
Discussion and Analysis:
City Council City Council Regular Meeting 111
The work encompassed by the Project is more specifically defined in the contract documents, but in general consists of, but is not limited to, the following work: construct VCP sewer pipe main, reconstruct existing sewer lateral, furnish and install 14 sewer manholes and re- construct an additional 4 sewer manholes.
The Notice of Inviting Bid specifications indicate that the contractor shall complete all work in approximately Eighty (80) working days. Upon Council approval and authorization, staff will upload the proposal documents for advertisement on PlanetBids where bidders will be able to view and download the project documents, addendums (if any), and submit their proposals for review. The most qualified responsive bidder will then be recommended to City Council for awarding of the project.

1.2.11 RELIEF OF BIDDERS –A Bidder shall be permitted to withdraw a Bid after the opening of Bids only if the bidder established to the satisfaction of the Engineer, all of the elements set forth in Section 5103 of the California Public Contract Code, including, but not limited to the following:
1. A clerical error was made by the Bidder in filling out the Bid, and the error was not due to error in judgment or carelessness in inspecting the site of the Work, or in reading the Plans or Specifications.
2. The clerical error caused the Bid to be materially different than the Bidder intended the Bid to be.
3. The Bidder gave the City Clerk written notice within five (5) days after the opening of Bid of the mistake, specifying in detail the nature of the mistake and how the mistake occurred.

1.2.14 SUBSTITUTE OR "OR-EQUAL" ITEMS - The Work, if awarded, will be on the basis of materials and equipment described in the Plans or specified in the Special Provisions without consideration of possible substitute or "or-equal" items. Whenever it is indicated in the Plans or specified in the Special Provisions that a substitute or "or-equal" item of material or equipment may be furnished or used by the Contractor if acceptable to the Engineer, data substantiating a request for a substitution of an “or equal” item or items will not be considered by the Engineer until after the Effective Date of the Agreement. The procedure for submittal of any such application by the Contractor and consideration by the Engineer is set forth in Section 4 of the Standard Specifications, as amended by Section 2.4 of the Special Provisions. The form in Appendix D of the Contract Documents shall be used to request substitutions.
1.2.15 DETERMINATION OF LOWEST RESPONSIBLE BIDDER–
(a) The Engineer shall first establish the “Apparent Lowest Bidder,” using the Total Bid Price set forth in the applicable Bid Schedule(s), subject to the calculation adjustment criteria set forth in Section 1.2.11 of these Instructions.
(b) After the Apparent Lowest Bidder has been established, the Engineer shall review the balance of the Bid Documents submitted by the Apparent Lowest Bidder to ascertain if that Bidder’s bid is responsive. In general, a bid is considered responsive if it has been completed and submitted in accordance with all of the requirements of the Bid Documents, Notice Inviting Bids, Instructions to Bidders, Special Provisions and any Bid Addenda.
(c) If the Bid submitted by the Apparent Lowest Bidder is responsive, that Bidder’s qualifications will be reviewed by the Engineer to ascertain if the Bidder is responsible. A responsible bidder is one who has demonstrated the attribute of trustworthiness, as well as quality, fitness, capacity, and experience to satisfactorily perform the Work required by the Contract Documents.
Consideration will be given to the quality and performance of work on past contracts, including previous work (if any) performed by the Bidder for the City. 134
(d) If the Engineer ascertains that the Apparent Lowest Bidder is responsible and has submitted a responsive bid, the Engineer shall report his findings to the City Council with a recommendation that the Bidder be awarded the contract for the work as the Apparent Lowest Responsible Bidder.
(e) Should the Engineer determine that the Bid submitted by the Apparent Lowest Bidder is not responsive or that such Bidder is not responsible, the Engineer shall review the responsiveness and responsibility of the next Apparent Lowest Bidder. This process shall continue until an apparent Lowest Responsible Bidder is determined and the Engineer’s findings and recommendations for award are reported to the City Council. If one or more Apparent Lowest Bidders are found by the Engineer to be non-responsive or non-responsible, those bidders shall be notified and given a reasonable opportunity to present additional relevant evidence bearing on their responsibility or bid responsiveness within seven (7) calendar days after the Bidder(s) receive such notice.
(f) Determinations and findings of the Engineer shall be reported as recommendations to the City Council. The City Council reserves the right reject any or all bids, and to waive any informalities or irregularities to the extent permitted by law.
1.2.16 BID PROTEST PROCEDURES –
(a) Any protest of a proposed award to the Apparent Lowest Bidder must be submitted in writing to the City Engineer no later than 5:00 p.m. on the third (3rd) business day following the date of the bid opening.
(b) The initial protest must contain a complete statement of the basis for the protest. The protest must state the facts and refer to the specific portion of the document or the specific statute that forms the basis for the protest. The protest must include the name, address, and telephone number of the protesting party and the name, address and telephone number of any person representing the protesting party.
(c) The party filing the protest must concurrently transmit a copy of the initial protest to the Apparent Lowest Bidder.
(d) The party filing the protest must have actually submitted a bid on the project. A subcontractor of a party filing a bid on this project may not submit a Bid Protest. A party may not rely on the Bid Protest submitted by another bidder, but must timely pursue its own protest. (e) The procedure and time limits set forth in this Section are mandatory and are the bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy in the event of a Bid Protest. A Bidder’s failure to fully comply with these procedures shall constitute a waiver of any right to further pursue the Bid Protest, including filing of a challenge of the award pursuant to the California Public Contract Code, filing of a claim pursuant to the California Government Code, or filing of any other legal proceedings. (f) The City shall review all timely protests prior to award of the Bid by the City Council. The City shall not be required to hold an administrative hearing to consider a timely protest, but may do so at the option of the Engineer, or if otherwise legally required. At the time of the City Council’s consideration of the recommendation for award of the bid, the City Council shall also consider the merits of any timely protests and the Engineer’s recommendation thereon. The City Council may either accept the protest and award the bid to the next Lowest Responsible Bidder, or reject the protest and award to the Lowest Responsible Bidder. 135
Part 1 BD - 9
(g) Nothing in this Section shall be construed as a waiver of the City Council’s right to reject all bids.
1.2.17 AWARD OF CONTRACT - Award of Contract, if it is awarded, shall be made to the Lowest Responsible Bidder as determined by the City Council, and a Notice of Award shall be sent to such Bidder. Unless otherwise specified, any such award will be made within the period stated in the Notice Inviting Bids that the Bids are to remain open, unless extended by mutual agreement of the bidders. Unless otherwise indicated, a single award will not be made for less than all the Bid Items of an individual Bid Schedule.

Contractor further acknowledges that any contract on a public works project entered into between a contractor and debarred subcontractor is void as a matter of law, and a debarred subcontractor may not receive any public money for performing work as a subcontractor on a public works contract. Any public money that is paid or may have been paid to a debarred subcontractor by a Contractor for work performed on this Project shall be 152

153
Part 1 BD - 27
The statement shall then be sent to the Contractor, who shall reimburse the City for such costs. If not paid separately, such reimbursement may be deducted from any money due and owing to the Contractor prior to the City’s acceptance of the Project.

ADDENDUM
By executing this Addendum, Contractor acknowledges and agrees that the work performed pursuant to the above referenced Agreement is subjected to all applicable provisions.
Payment of Minimum Compensation to Employees. Contractor shall be obligated to pay not less than the General Prevailing Wages Rate as required by applicable law.
A. Prevailing Wage Requirements. California Labor Code requires the payment of not less than the general prevailing rate of per diem wages and rates for holiday and overtime and adherence to all labor standards and regulations. The General Prevailing Wages Rates may be adjusted throughout the term of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Contractor shall not be entitled to any adjustment in compensation rates in the event there are adjustments to the General Prevailing Wages Rates.
B. Reports. Contractor shall not perform on site work on this contract until labor compliance documents are filed. Contractor agrees to cooperate with the City to fulfill its notifications requirement to the DIR, as required by DIR’s PWC-100 form or any other required form, and Contractor agrees to provide to the City the information required by the DIR, as generally set forth in Labor Code Section 1773.3. By signing this form, Contractor, and all of its subcontractors, represents that it has registered with the Department of Industrial Relations pursuant to Labor Code section 1725.5 [with limited exceptions under Labor Code section 1771.1(a)] and paid the annual fee due to the DIR, unless the Contractor meets an exception recognized by the DIR or by the law.
C. Furnishing of Electronic Certified Payroll Records to Labor Commissioner.
Contractor and subcontractor agree to furnish the required electronic certified payroll records directly to the Labor Commissioner (aka Division of Labor Standards Enforcement), in the manner and under the time frame required by law.
D. Audit Rights.

Copies of such records or documents shall be provided to City for audit at City Hall when it is practical to do so. Otherwise, unless an alternative is mutually agreed upon, the records or documents shall be available at CONTRACTOR’s address indicated for receipt of notices in this Contract.
E. Enforcement.
1. General. CONTRACTOR acknowledges it has read and understands that, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, it is required to comply 165
Part 1 BD - 39
with the Wage Requirement and to submit certain documentation to the City establishing its compliance with such requirement. (“Documentation Provision.”) CONTRACTOR further acknowledges the City has determined that the Wage Requirement promotes each of the following (collectively “Goals”):
a. It protects public job opportunities and stimulates the City’s economy by reducing the incentive to recruit and pay a substandard wage to labor from distant, cheap-labor areas.
b. It benefits the public through the superior efficiency of well-paid employees. c. It increases competition by promoting a more level playing field among contractors with regard to the wages paid to workers.
2. CONTRACTOS’s Breach of Prevailing Wage/Living Wage Provisions.
WITHOLDING OF PAYMENT: CONTRACTOR agrees that the Documentation Provision is critical to the City’s ability to monitor CONTRACTOR’s compliance with the City’s public wage obligations. CONTRACTORS further agrees its breach of the Documentation Provision or general public wage obligations results in the need for additional enforcement action to verify compliance with this Addendum. In light of the critical importance of the Documentation Provision, the City and CONTRACTOR agree that CONTRACTOR’s compliance with this Addendum is an express condition of City’s obligation to make each payment due to the CONTRACTOR pursuant to this Agreement. THE CITY IS NOT OBLIGATED TO MAKE ANY PAYMENT DUE THE
CONTRACTOR UNTIL CONTRACTOR HAS PERFORMED ALL OF ITS
OBLIGATIONS UNDER THESE PROVISIONS. THIS PROVISION MEANS THAT
CITY CAN WITHOLD ALL OR PART OF A PAYMENT TO CONTRACTOR UNTIL ALL REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION IS SUBMITTED.
Any payment by the City despite CONTRACTOR’s failure to fully perform its obligations under these provisions shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any other term or condition contained in this Agreement or a waiver of the right to withhold payment for any subsequent breach of this Documentation Provision or public wage obligations of the Contractor and the City.

194
Installation of pipe shall start at the low end of each section and proceed upgrade.
All bell and spigot pipe shall be laid with the bell end upgrade. Assembly of all types of pipe shall be done in strict conformance with the requirements of the pipe manufacturer.
Pipe shall be accurately laid to alignment and grade shown on the drawings or established by the Engineer. Where grade stakes are provided with which to establish the proper pipeline grade, pipe shall be laid to grade within a tolerance of
0.02', or 0.05' cumulative deviation from elevations set at 100' stations LATERALS AND CLEAN-OUTS:
Laterals and clean-outs shall be constructed at the points indicated on the plans, and in accordance with the standard drawings. Connections of house laterals to sewer mains shall be either wye or tee type connections as shown on standard drawings except that only one type shall be used universally throughout the project.
Wye branches shall be laid with the axis of the "Y" entering the main sewer at an angle above the horizontal axis of said main, unless specifically called out otherwise on the plans or in the Special Conditions, but, unless specifically called out otherwise, this angle shall not exceed 45°.
Where tee type connections of house laterals to sewer mains are selected in accordance with the requirements, the Contractor shall provide a 1-foot long section of lateral sewer pipe out of the tee-type branch.
Wherever any service connection is to be temporarily blanked off, it shall be plugged with a terra cotta cover secured and made watertight with cement mortar.
Lateral connections to existing mains shall be made pursuant to the provisions of the appropriate standard drawing for saddle connection to the existing main pipe material.
Manholes shall be constructed in the locations and to the dimensions as shown on the drawings. Cast-in-place concrete shall conform to the requirements set forth in Section "Portland Cement Concrete" in these specifications. Pre-cast units shall be assembled accurately with full-bed mortar joints.
Unless otherwise shown on the drawings, the sewer pipe shall be laid continuously through the location of the manhole. After the manhole has been constructed, the open channel shall be formed by splitting the pipe and removing the top half. If the open channel cannot be formed in this manner, it shall be formed of concrete with the depth equal to the diameter of the sewer pipe. The floor of the manhole shall slope at least 2" from the sides of the manhole to the open channel.
When completed, the top of the manhole cover shall be accurately brought to the elevation called for on the drawings, or if no elevation is indicated, it shall be brought flush with the surface of the surrounding ground or pavement. The manholes shall be constructed so that there is not more than 19" of throat section between the top of the cone and the top of the frame.
When located in roadway subgrades, manholes shall be constructed up to the proper elevation preparatory to street paving, and temporarily covered with planks 195
Part 2 BD - 29
or steel plates. After paving operations have been completed the temporary covers shall be removed and the frames and covers installed flush with pavement grade.
CLEANING SEWER LINES:
All sanitary sewer mains and laterals shall be flushed with water and "balled" or cleaned by acceptable method prior to testing to ensure that all dirt, debris, and obstructions are removed. This work must be performed in the presence of and to the satisfaction of the Engineer, and the Contractor shall notify the Engineer at least one (1) working day in advance of starting the cleaning work.
The Contractor shall, following backfill compaction and line cleaning provide:
1. 3/8” minimum pull ropes from manhole to manhole.
2. Equipment and traffic control to assist in the T.V. inspection performed by district's subcontractor.
LEAKAGE TESTS:
All sanitary sewers shall be tested for tightness after they and all appurtenances have been completed, backfilled (except for test tees) and compacted, and are ready for service. In shallow systems, leakage testing shall follow placement of road base material. Tests shall be made on each section, including manholes, from one manhole or test tee to the next, unless grades are flat enough to permit testing two or more sections at one time.
The method of required test (water test or air test) shall be determined by the Inspector.
1. Preparation for Tests. Each section of sewer, including house laterals, between successive manholes shall be tested by closing the lower end of the section to be tested, the inlet sewer of the upper manhole, and the ends of house laterals with stoppers, and filling the pipe and manhole with water to a level of 4' above the invert of the open sewer in the upper terminal. After the section has been filled, it shall be allowed to stand for a sufficient length of time to allow the pipe to absorb what water it will, prior to making the leakage test described in the following paragraphs (Water Test and Air Test). This period of time for absorption of water shall not be less than 30 minutes nor greater than 24 hours.
2. Water Test. The leakage test shall consist of measuring the quantity of water required to maintain the water level at the elevation prescribed in the above paragraph for a period of one (1) hour. The water used in the test shall be measured through a meter or by other means satisfactory to the Engineer. The allowable leakage shall be computed from the following formula:
E = 0.0015 DL/h
Where E = allowable leakage in gallons
D = inside diameter of the pipe in inches
L = length of line being tested in feet
h = difference in elevation (in feet) between the water surface in the upper manhole and the invert of the pipe in the lower manhole 196
If the leakage during the test period exceeds the allowable leakage, the sewer line shall be overhauled and, if necessary, relaid until the joints hold satisfactorily under the test.
3. Air Test. Installed pipeline shall be field tested in accordance with the air test specified in the National Clay Pipe Institute 1967 Supplement to Engineering Manual, and its supplementary tables contained in the NCPI publication entitled "Low Pressure Air Test for Sanitary Sewers (Procedures and Tables)." Isolation of defects by air test shall be the Contractor's responsibility to perform; however, if performed by the District or its agent, they shall be performed at the Contractor's expense.
4. Alternate Infiltration Test. If excessive groundwater is encountered in the construction of a section of the sewer, the test for leakage previously described shall not be used. The end of the sewer at the upper structure shall be closed sufficiently to prevent the entrance of water and pumping of groundwater shall be discontinued for at least three (3) days, after which the section shall be tested for infiltration.
The infiltration into each individual reach of sewer between adjoining manholes shall not exceed 100 gallons per inch of inside diameter of sewer per 24 hours per mile. Infiltration in excess of this amount shall be reduced to a quantity within the specified amount before the sewer will be accepted.
In any case, the Contractor shall stop any individual leaks that may be observed.
Unless otherwise specified, infiltration will be measured through a meter or by other means satisfactory to the Engineer
5. Manhole Leakage. Should an initial test show excessive leakage in a section of line, it is permissible to draw off the water of a water test and test the manhole that contained water. This test shall be made by plugging all openings in the manhole, filling same with water to the same elevation as used for the initial test, and checking the loss in a one hour period. The leakage so determined may be deducted from the total leakage in the section of pipe initially tested. If, in the opinion of the Engineer, the manhole leakage thus determined is excessive, the Contractor shall waterproof the interior of the manhole by applying a coating of grout or an approved waterproofing material. Excessive leakage is defined to be 50 gallons per hour when filled to the top of the barrel sections (not including cone or grade rings). Shallow rectangular manholes shall be filled to the top of the manhole sections (not including grade rings), with 50 gallons per hour leakage allowed.
SEWER PIPE REPAIRS:
Sewer pipe leakage in excess of the allowable maximum shall be corrected by repairs acceptable to the Engineer, and retesting as required. Mere sealing of leaks shall not be an acceptable repair.
LATERAL MARKERS:
197
Part 2 BD - 31
It shall be required of the Contractor to place the required markers at the end of each lateral and to also return after curb construction to place the required mark in the face of the curb. An "L" may be used in place of the required "S" mark in the curb face.

EXECUTION
INSTALLATION
Manhole bases shall be poured in a dry trench, using Class 2 concrete. Concrete will sampled at the Engineer's discretion. Upon Engineer’s approval, pre-cast manhole bases may be used on straight runs and terminal manholes only. No field medication of pre-cast manhole bases shall be allowed.
During the pouring of the manhole base, precautions shall be taken to ensure that the sewer pipes entering and leaving the manhole do not move from the installed alignment and grade. Plugs shall be placed in open pipes to prevent concrete from entering the lines. In case of straight-through lines, the pipe may be laid through the manhole excavation with the base being poured around the pipe. The upper half of the pipe shall then be cut out to form the channel. Water stops shall be used on all plastic pipe entering the manhole to prevent groundwater from leaking through the manhole wall. Water stop shall be molded plastic or molded rubber.
Care shall be taken in setting the bottom manhole section at the appropriate time during the cure of the concrete to ensure penetration (see Standard Drawings) and to allow for two inches of minimum clearance between the bottom of the manhole section and the top of the highest pipe.
Manholes shall be plumb.
The channels shall be shaped in flowing curves as indicated on the drawings to ensure good hydraulic characteristics for the flow of wastewater. A smooth, clean, hand rubbed finish shall be given to the surfaces of the manhole base and to any joint mortar work. Transitions between different sizes of pipes shall be smooth and regular. Cracks, joints, holes, etc., shall be sealed with Sika or approved equal non-shrink grout or sealing compounds to ensure watertight manholes.
No more than twelve (12) vertical inches of grade rings shall be used to adjust the level of the manhole frame (12 inches maximum between the top of the tapered manhole section and the bottom of the manhole frame). Manhole steps shall be located on the downstream side of the manhole. For manholes less than 5 feet in depth, concentric cones shall be used and manhole steps shall be omitted.
Backfill shall be placed uniformly around the outside of the manhole so as to not create differential forces and the possibility of dislodging the manhole sections. 212
Where a manhole is constructed on an existing straight-through sewer, the top portion of the sewer pipe shall not be removed until the manhole has been completed and tested.
TESTING
The Contractor shall conduct an exfiltration test or vacuum test on each manhole constructed.
The test shall be conducted by the Contractor in the presence of the Engineer.
Exfiltration tests shall consist of plugging incoming and outgoing sewer lines and filling the manhole with water up to the rim. After initial absorption (15 minutes), if the water loss exceeds one inch in depth in five minutes, the manhole shall have failed the test. Each manhole which fails the test shall be carefully inspected to determine the problem and then resealed and retested until the water loss is less than one inch in five minutes.
Vacuum tests shall consist of drawing a vacuum on a sealed manhole and measuring the time for the vacuum to drop to a predetermined level. The actual test procedure shall be provided by the manufacturer of the test equipment and approved by the Engineer. Each manhole which fails the test shall be carefully inspected to determine the problem and then resealed and retested until the manhole passes.

Labor Code Section 1771
Requirement of prevailing local rate for work under contract Except for public works projects of one thousand dollars ($1,000) or less, not less than the general prevailing rate of per diem wages for work of a similar character in the locality in which the public work is performed, and not less than the general prevailing rate of per diem wages for holiday and overtime work fixed as provided in this chapter, shall be paid to all workers employed on public works.
This section is applicable only to work performed under contract, and is not applicable to work carried out by a public agency with its own forces. This section is applicable to contracts let for maintenance work.
Labor Code Section 1775
Forfeiture for paying less than prevailing wage rates; Amount of penalty; Payments to workers; Liability of prime contractor; Notification of complaint (a)
(1) The contractor and any subcontractor under the contractor shall, as a penalty to the state or political subdivision on whose behalf the contract is made or awarded, forfeit not more than fifty dollars ($50) for each calendar day, or portion thereof, for each worker paid less than the prevailing wage rates as determined by the director for the work or craft in which the worker is employed for any public work done under the contract by the contractor or, except as provided in subdivision (b), by any subcontractor under the contractor.
(2)
(A) The amount of the penalty shall be determined by the Labor Commissioner based on consideration of both of the following:
(i) Whether the failure of the contractor or subcontractor to pay the correct rate of per diem wages was a good faith mistake and, if so, the error was promptly and voluntarily corrected when brought to the attention of the contractor or subcontractor.
(ii) Whether the contractor or subcontractor has a prior record of failing to meet its prevailing wage obligations.
(B)
(i) The penalty may not be less than ten dollars ($10) for each calendar day, or portion thereof, for each worker paid less than the prevailing wage rate, unless the failure of the contractor or subcontractor to pay the correct rate of per diem wages was a good faith mistake and, if so, the error was promptly and voluntarily corrected when brought to the attention of the contractor or subcontractor. (ii) The penalty may not be less than twenty dollars ($20) for each calendar day, or portion thereof, for each worker paid less than the prevailing wage rate, if the contractor or subcontractor has been assessed penalties within the previous three years for failing to meet its prevailing wage obligations on a separate contract, unless those penalties were subsequently withdrawn or overturned. (iii) The penalty may not be less than thirty dollars ($30) for each calendar day, or portion thereof, for each worker paid less than the prevailing wage rate, if the Labor Commissioner determines that the violation was willful, as defined in subdivision (c) of Section 1777.1. (C) When the amount due under this section is collected from the contractor or subcontractor, any outstanding wage claim under Chapter 1 (commencing with Section 1720) of Part 7 of Division 2 against that contractor or subcontractor shall be satisfied before applying that amount to the penalty imposed on 241
Part 4 BD - 13
that contractor or subcontractor pursuant to this section. (D) The determination of the Labor Commissioner as to the amount of the penalty shall be reviewable only for abuse of discretion.
(E) The difference between the prevailing wage rates and the amount paid to each worker for each calendar day or portion thereof for which each worker was paid less than the prevailing wage rate shallbe paid to each worker by the contractor or subcontractor, and the body awarding the contract shall cause to be inserted in the contract a stipulation that this section will be complied with. (b) If a worker employed by a subcontractor on a public works project is not paid the general prevailing rate of per diem wages by the subcontractor, the prime contractor of the project is not liable for any penalties under subdivision (a) unless the prime contractor had knowledge of that failure of the subcontractor to pay the specified prevailing rate of wages to those workers or unless the prime contractor fails to comply with all of the following requirements:
(1) The contract executed between the contractor and the subcontractor for the performance of work on the public works project shall include a copy of the provisions of Sections 1771, 1775, 1776, 1777.5, 1813, and 1815.
(2) The contractor shall monitor the payment of the specified general prevailing rate of per diem wages by the subcontractor to the employees, by periodic review of the certified payroll records of the subcontractor.

(a) Nothing in this chapter shall prevent the employment of properly registered apprentices upon public works.
(b) Every apprentice employed upon public works shall be paid the prevailing rate of per diem wages for apprentices in the trade to which he or she is registered and shall be employed only at the work of thecraft or trade to which he or she is registered.
(c) Only apprentices, as defined in Section 3077, who are in training under apprenticeship standards that have been approved by the Chief of the Division of Apprenticeship Standards and who are parties to written apprentice agreements under Chapter 4 (commencing with Section 3070) of Division 3 are eligible to be employed at the apprentice wage rate on public works. The employment and training of each apprentice shall be in accordance with either of the following:
(1) The apprenticeship standards and apprentice agreements under which he or she is training. (2) The rules and regulations of the California Apprenticeship Council. 242
(d) When the contractor to whom the contract is awarded by the state or any political subdivision, in performing any of the work under the contract, employs workers in any apprenticeable craft or trade, the contractor shall employ apprentices in at least the ratio set forth in this section and may apply to any apprenticeship program in the craft or trade that can provide apprentices to the site of the public work for a certificate approving the contractor under the apprenticeship standards for the employment and training of apprentices in the area or industry affected. However, the decision of the apprenticeship program to approve or deny a certificate shall be subject to review by the Administrator of Apprenticeship. The apprenticeship program or programs, upon approving the contractor, shall arrange for the dispatch of apprentices to the contractor. A contractor covered by an apprenticeship program's standards shall not be required to submit any additional application in order to include additional public works contracts under that program. "Apprenticeable craft or trade," as used in this section, means a craft or trade determined as an apprenticeable occupation in accordance with rules and regulations prescribed by the California Apprenticeship Council. As used in this section, "contractor" includes any subcontractor under a contractor who performs any public works not excluded by subdivision (o). (e) Prior to commencing work on a contract for public works, every contractor shall submit contract award information to an applicable apprenticeship program that can supply apprentices to the site of the public work. The information submitted shall include an estimate of journeyman hours to be performed under the contract, the number of apprentices proposed to be employed, and the approximate dates the apprentices would be employed. A copy of this information shall also be submitted to the awarding body if requestedby the awarding body. Within 60 days after concluding work on the contract, each contractor and subcontractor shall submit to the awarding body, if requested, and to the apprenticeship program a verified statement of the journeyman and apprentice hours performed on the contract. The information under this subdivision shall be public. The apprenticeship programs shall retain this information for 12 months. (f) The apprenticeship program that can supply apprentices to the area of the site of the public work shall ensure equal employment and affirmative action in apprenticeship for women and minorities. (g) The ratio of work performed by apprentices to journeymen employed in a particular craft or trade on the public work may be no higher than the ratio stipulated in the apprenticeship standards under which the apprenticeship program operates where the contractor agrees to be bound by those standards, but, except as otherwise provided in this section, in no case shall the ratio be less than one hour of apprentice workfor every five hours of journeyman work.
(h) This ratio of apprentice work to journeyman work shall apply during any day or portion of a day when any journeyman is employed at the jobsite and shall be computed on the basis of the hours worked during the day by journeymen so employed. Any work performed by a journeyman in excess of eight hours per day or 40 hours per week shall not be used to calculate the ratio. The contractor shall employ apprentices for the number of hours computed as above before the end of the contract or, in the case of a subcontractor, before the end of the subcontract. However, the contractor shall endeavor, to the greatest extent possible, to employ apprentices during the same time period that the journeymen in the same craft or trade are employed at the jobsite. Where an hourly apprenticeship ratio is not feasible for a particular craft or trade, the Chief of the Division of Apprenticeship Standards, upon application of an apprenticeship program, may order a minimum ratio of not less than one apprentice for each five journeymen in a craft or trade classification.
(i) A contractor covered by this section that has agreed to be covered by an apprenticeship program's standards upon the issuance of the approval certificate, or that has been previously approved for an apprenticeship program in the craft or trade, shall employ the number of apprentices or the ratio of apprentices to journeymen stipulated in the applicable apprenticeship standards, but in no event lessthan the 1-to-5 ratio required by subdivision (g).
(j) Upon proper showing by a contractor that he or she employs apprentices in a particular craft or trade in the state on all of his or her contracts on an annual average of not less than one hour of apprentice work for every five hours of labor performed by journeymen, the Chief of the Division of Apprenticeship Standards may grant a certificate exempting the contractor from the 1-to-5 hourly ratio, as set forth in this section for that craft or trade.
243

Agenda Item # 9.1.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution entitled: “A
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LYNWOOD AWARDING A
CONTRACT TO NATIONAL PLANT SERVICES AS THE LOWEST RESPONSIBLE BIDDER, IN THE AMOUNT OF $744,183.57 FOR FY 2023/24 THROUGH FY 2026/27 ANNUAL SEWER MAINTENANCE; AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO APPROVE AGREEMENT AMENDMENTS RELATED TO THE PROJECT; AND AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE THE AGREEMENT.”
Background:
The City’s wastewater collection system is managed by the City of Lynwood Public Works Department. The sewer utility provides sewer collection services to its residential, commercial, and industrial customers within the City’s boundary. The wastewater collection system consists of approximately 80 miles of gravity sewer pipe, 1,800 manholes, 30 inverted siphons and about 10,000 sewer lateral connections. The City’s system conveys untreated wastewater into various County Sanitation Districts’ trunk sewers for transmission, treatment and disposal. It is estimated that approximately 3.8 million gallons per day of waste water is collected within the City’s service area.
City Council City Council Regular Meeting 260
The Public Works Department, Utility Division assigns City staff to clean sewer lines. The Utility Division staff handles both potable water as well as sewer maintenance tasks. It is important that the City’s sewer system is properly operated, maintained and managed to reduce frequency and severity of sanitary sewer over flows and their potential impacts on the public health, safety and on the environment. However, due to increased responsibilities in required potable water operation tasks and reduction in staffing, the tasks of sewer cleaning have been delayed and behind in the regular scheduled tasks.
Discussion and Analysis:
On February 7, 2023, City Council approved advertisement of a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Annual Sewer Maintenance for the tasks of sewer cleaning for the next four (4) fiscal years.
On February 13, 2023, the RFP was advertised on the City’s web site (PlanetBids) for Annual Sewer Maintenance Services. The Bid opening took place in the PlanetBids platform on Thursday, April 05, 2023, at 10:00 am (PST).
The following five (5) bids were received:

$2,533,698.93
4. Pipe Tec, Inc.
$3,402,160.00
5. RedZone

An analysis of all proposals was conducted, including a review of their bid schedule, license, references, and documents. National Plant Services was the lowest responsible proposal with a multi-year proposal of $744,183.57 for the next four (4) fiscal years.
Staff recommended that the City obtain the services of a contractor to maintain the sewer lines in a phased approach to reduce sanitary sewer overflows (SSO) and at the same time maintain fiscal responsibility. The phasing includes sewer cleaning of the one-half of entire pipeline system and manholes each year, CCTV one-fourth of entire sewer system each year, review and report of five manholes integrity each year, and respond up to five (5) emergency City Council City Council Regular Meeting 261

National Plant Services is a fiscally strong company with the significant backing of our parent company, Carylon Corporation. NPS has no pending bankruptcies, liens, stop- payment notices, judgments, foreclosures, or any similar action filed or resolved in the past seven years period. A client has never terminated a contract with National Plant Services for breach of contract or poor performance.
We hereby guarantee that we have the financial resources to effectively manage and complete this project. We maintain a staff of regular employees and can demonstrate that the equipment for this work is sufficient, adequate and suitable.
Approach to Scope of Services
NPS will ensure that the necessary equipment and personnel are available for the project scope of work. We guarantee that the key personnel described in this proposal will be available and assigned to this project. Field personnel will be assigned based on availability on the project start date.
277
The project will begin with a kickoff meeting at city offices to review the scope of work.
Sewer maps, pipeline database, GIS, and all avaliable information will be reviewed so the field crews and the project manager get a complete picture of the project and surrounding area.
National Plant Services will perform work with trained, competent, professional CCTV Inspection Technicians. The lead technician chosen to work on this project will have a minimum of 5 years of NASSCO PACP experience. All our technicians have been trained in Confined Space Entry and have received basic traffic control training. Most of our CCTV Inspection Technicians also have OSHA 10 Hour t raining. NPS has developed and implemented a specific Job Safety Analysis (JSA) and a Safety Procedure for performing closed circuit television inspections and will institute that plan (with necessary additions) to this project.
All National Plant Services’ trucks and equipment carry our name and logo . Our employees wear uniforms with their name and the company name. We work in the public sector every day and take a great deal of pride in our work. Public safety is of paramount importance. Our crews are trained to recognize situations which might be a hazard to the public and to eliminate or mitigate the hazard immediately. All our technicians have received Basic First Aid and CPR training.
National Plant Services considers Traffic Safety a primary element in the performance of cleaning and inspecting sewers. National Plant Services sets up all traffic control measures in accordance with the WATCH Book. All field equipment has its own truck - mounted arrow board. Additionally, crews utilize cones and signs in accordance with proper traffic control procedures.
Cleaning of Sewer Lines
National Plant Services, Inc (NPS) will use a combination jet/vacuum machine capable of generating nozzle pressure at a minimum of 2,000 pounds per square inch to clean the sewer lines. NPS will determine the correct p ressure to be used for cleaning in each specific situation, such that all debris is removed, however, avoiding back pressure that will cause water to travel up any residential or business laterals along the sewer line that is being cleaned.
NPS will remove debris generated during the cleaning of all sewer lines at the first downstream manhole. NPS will then pull the jetting nozzles back downstream, pulling the debris down to the manhole where the debris shall be removed. Debris will not be moved through multiple lines prior to being collected. NPS will install debris traps in downstream 278
maintenance holes when cleaning pipe sizes ranging from 15” to 24” in diameter. NPS will properly dispose of all debris removed from the sewer line as specified in the RFP.
All jetting operations shall be performed with nozzles and skids appropriate for the size of the pipe to be cleaned. Nozzles include spinners, Warthogs, Dolphin, sand nozzle, and bottom sweepers as manufactured by NozzTeq, StoneAge, and KEG. All lines will be cleaned to 95% clean, apart from broken pipes.
Inspection
The intent is to inspect the pipe using closed circuit television equipment is to inspect and record the internal condition of the pipe. A camera will be driven or pulled through each section of the pipe . The operator will stop the movement of the camera to look at any abnormality or defect spotted as well as note laterals and waterline marks. Each lateral, defect, or other abnormality will be classified and documented per NASSCO PACP standards.
NPS owns and operates fifteen (15) CCTV Inspection vehicles. Each truck is equipped with two (2) cameras and repair parts. Our technicians are trained to diagnose problems and can make minor repairs in the field. We also maintain a fleet repair staff of five employees who are trained to make field repairs or can bring a new truck to use while the other is being repaired.
National Plant Services will use data capture software, pre-approved by the agency and use NASSCO PACP coding when performing inspections. All cameras used will be able to pan 360 degrees of the pipe and have a minimum resolution of 720 x 480. Cameras will have auto focus and zoom as well as sufficient lighting. NPS will notify the agency’s Project Manager whenever the camera will not pass or finds an imminent pipe failure.
Quality Control/Quality Assurance
Our Quality Control team will take the maps provided by the agency and develop an inspection schedule with milestones that ensure the agency timeline is met. Data will be compiled and reviewed by our QA/QC team in the office on a weekly basis. They will ensure that the video is captured in the correct format, that all the defects are properly noted per NASSCO PACP standards, that the overlays display the correct information, and that we are providing a quality product. Any inspections that do not pass our Q uality Control standards will be re -inspected at our cost. The data will be transferred to the appropriate media and presented in accordance with the specifications in the RFP.
The Quality Control Department will then gather all the data and merge it into one database. This database along with corresponding videos, pictures, and log sheets will be 279
submitted per the agency’s specifications. Along with the data, a summary will be provided using log sheets detailing the inspection. Each line segment will be represented along with the footage of defects, laterals, etc. An Excel sheet will be provided that has the line segments with their ‘Quickscore’ rating and can be sorted to show all the ‘5’s, ‘4’s, etc. This will assist the agency with laying out future CIP projects and determining immediate needs.
