Consultant expressly waives its statutory immunity under such statutes or laws as to City, its officers, agents, employees and volunteers.
C. Insurance Requirements not Limiting. City does not, and shall not, waive any rights that it may possess against Consultant because of the acceptance by City, or the deposit with City, of any insurance policy or certificate required pursuant to this Agreement. The indemnities in this Section shall apply regardless of whether or not any insurance policies are determined to be applicable to the Liabilities, tax, assessment, penalty or interest asserted against City.
D. Survival of Terms. Consultant’s indemnifications and obligations under this Section shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.
9. Insurance.
A. Minimum Scope and Limits of Insurance. Consultant shall procure and at all times during the term of this Agreement carry, maintain, and keep in full force and effect, insurance as follows:
1) Commercial General Liability Insurance with a minimum limit of $1,000,000.00 per occurrence for bodily injury, personal injury and property damage and a general aggregate limit of $1,000,000.00 per project or location. If Consultant is a limited liability company, the commercial general liability coverage shall be amended so that Consultant and its managers, affiliates, employees, agents and other persons necessary or incidental to its operation are insureds.
2) Automobile Liability Insurance for any owned, non-owned or hired vehicle used in connection with the performance of this Agreement with a combined
-7- Ver. 02/2019
12501-0001\2300515v1.doc
single limit of $1,000,000.00 per accident for bodily injury and property damage. If Consultant does not use any owned, non-owned or hired vehicles in the performance of Services under this Agreement, Consultant shall provide insurance in the amount required by California law.
3) Workers’ Compensation Insurance as required by the State of California and Employer’s Liability Insurance with a minimum limit of $1,000,000.00 per accident for bodily injury or disease. If Consultant has no employees while performing Services under this Agreement, workers’ compensation policy is not required, but Consultant shall execute a declaration that it has no employees.

E. Consultant’s Waiver of Subrogation. The insurance policies required under this Section shall not prohibit Consultant and Consultant’s employees, agents or subconsultants from waiving the right of subrogation prior to a loss. Consultant hereby waives all rights of subrogation against City.
F. Deductibles and Self-Insured Retentions. Any deductibles or self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by City.

notice from the insurer, phone, fax or notify City via certified mail, return receipt requested, of the cancellation of or changes to the policy.
H. City Remedy for Noncompliance. If Consultant does not maintain the policies of insurance required under this Section in full force and effect during the term of this Agreement, or in the event any of Consultant’s policies do not comply with the requirements under this Section, City may either immediately terminate this Agreement or, if insurance is available at a reasonable cost, City may, but has no duty to, take out the necessary insurance and pay, at Consultant’s expense, the premium thereon.
Consultant shall promptly reimburse City for any premium paid by City or City may withhold amounts sufficient to pay the premiums from payments due to Consultant.
I. Evidence of Insurance. Prior to the performance of Services under this Agreement, Consultant shall furnish City’s Risk Manager or such other official designed by the City Manager with a certificate or certificates of insurance and all original endorsements evidencing and effecting the coverages required under this Section.

Consultant shall provide proof to City’s Risk Manager that insurance policies expiring during the term of this Agreement have been renewed or replaced with other policies providing at least the same coverage.
Consultant shall furnish such proof at least two weeks prior to the expiration of the coverages.
J. Indemnity Requirements not Limiting. Procurement of insurance by Consultant shall not be construed as a limitation of Consultant’s liability or as full performance of Consultant’s duty to indemnify City under Section 8 of this Agreement.

12501-0001\2300515v1.doc
principles and shall be clearly identified and readily accessible.

B. Obligations upon Termination. Consultant shall cease all work under this Agreement on or before the effective date of termination specified in the notice of termination. In the event of City’s termination of this Agreement due to no fault or failure of performance by Consultant, City shall pay Consultant based on the percentage of work satisfactorily performed up to the effective date of termination.

Consultant shall have no other claim against City by reason of such termination, including any claim for compensation.
13. Force Majeure. Consultant shall not be liable for any failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement if Consultant presents acceptable evidence, in City’s sole judgment, that such failure was due to acts of God, embargoes, inability to obtain labor or materials or reasonable substitutes for labor or materials, governmental restrictions, governmental regulations, governmental controls, judicial orders, enemy or hostile governmental action, civil commotion, fire or other casualty, or other causes beyond Consultant’s reasonable control and not due to any act by Consultant.
14. Default.

In the event that Consultant is in default for cause under the terms of this Agreement, City shall have no obligation or duty to continue compensating Consultant for any work performed after the date of default.
B. In addition to the right to terminate pursuant to Section 12, if the City Manager determines that Consultant is in default in the performance of any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement, City shall serve Consultant with written notice of the default.

17. Prohibition of Assignment and Delegation. Consultant shall not assign any of its rights or delegate any of its duties under this Agreement, either in whole or in part, without City’s prior written consent. City’s consent to an assignment of rights under this Agreement shall not release Consultant from any of its obligations or alter any of its primary obligations to be performed under this Agreement. Any attempted assignment or delegation in violation of this Section shall be void and of no effect and shall entitle City to terminate this Agreement. As used in this Section, “assignment” and “delegation” means any sale, gift, pledge, hypothecation, encumbrance or other transfer of all or any portion of the rights, obligations, or liabilities in or arising from this Agreement to any person or entity, whether by operation of law or otherwise, and regardless of the legal form of the transaction in which the attempted transfer occurs.

20. Final Payment Acceptance Constitutes Release. The acceptance by Consultant of the final payment made under this Agreement shall operate as and be a release of City from all claims and liabilities for compensation to Consultant for anything done, furnished or relating to Consultant’s work or services. Acceptance of payment shall be any negotiation of City’s check or the failure to make a written extra compensation claim within ten calendar days of the receipt of that check. However, approval or payment by City shall not constitute, nor be deemed, a release of the responsibility and liability of Consultant, its employees, subconsultants and agents for the accuracy and competency of the information provided and/or work performed; nor shall such approval or payment be deemed to be an assumption of such responsibility or liability by City for any defect or error in the work prepared by Consultant, its employees, subconsultants and agents.
21. Corrections. In addition to the above indemnification obligations, Consultant shall correct, at its expense, all errors in the work which may be disclosed during City’s review of Consultant’s report or plans. Should Consultant fail to make such correction in a reasonably timely manner, such correction may be made by City, and the cost thereof shall be charged to Consultant.

22. Non-Appropriation of Funds. Payments to be made to Consultant by City for services performed within the current fiscal year are within the current fiscal budget and within an available, unexhausted fund.

30. Attorneys’ Fees.

TECHNICAL COMPETENCE
Electronic Plan Review Services
BPR Consulting Group maintains an efficient cloud-based electronic document submittal system for receiving and sending large electronic document files. Our electronic document portal utilizes a SharePoint system to allow permit applicants and client staff the ability to upload construction documents for our plan review services. BPR Consulting Group has provided electronic plan review services, serving building departments and other public agencies with efficient electronic plan review services. We are prepared to provide electronic plan check services for your community utilizing our Bluebeam electronic plan review system, or any electronic plan review system presently used by your department.
We have had the opportunity to work with many different electronic plan review systems and our preferred system is Bluebeam, an industry-leading software used by many jurisdictions, design teams and contractors to review and annotate construction documents. We have worked with multiple clients to purchase and deploy Bluebeam software, develop jurisdiction-specific stamps, develop tools to increase efficiencies for electronic plan reviews, and participate and provide ongoing training on the use of the software.
BPR maintains an electronic library of technical resource documents which include numerous technical standards and technical guidelines published by organizations such as AISI, AISC, ASCE, ACI, ASME, ASTM, AWC, CalDag, FEMA, SEAOC and SSMA to name a few, as well as the California Title 24 Building Standards Codes. All of our plan review and inspection staff are issued laptop computers and have access to our technical library via the cloud-based One-Drive which we work from. In addition, all plan review staff are supplied with hard copies of the current editions of the California Building Standards Codes and other codes and reference material required to provide plan reviews. Our engineering staff maintain a working knowledge and utilize ETABS, Ram Steel, RISA, Enercalc, and other common structural software used for building design. Our nonstructural plans examiners are experienced and utilize various energy compliance software as needed to verify accuracy and compliance of submitted energy compliance documentation.

5. APPROACH TO SCOPE OF SERVICES
BPR understands the City of Maywood is located in the southern portion of Los Angeles County, generally surrounded by the cities of Bell, Vernon, and Commerce. We further understand that the City seeks to secure the services of a qualified firm to provide building department services including Building Official, Permit Technician, Building Department Plan Check and Administrative Services to serve and promote the welfare of the citizens of Maywood.
General Approach
In addition to performing all building department plan review services, we understand the City of Maywood is requesting the services of an experienced and qualified Permit Technician to work within City offices two halfdays each week and the services of an experienced and appropriately qualified Building Inspector to work in the City two half-days per week. Additionally, the City may need the services of a certified Building Official on an as-needed basis.

PERMIT TECHNICIAN SERVICES
Knowledgeable and personable permit technicians are the first impression the public gets of your building department, and they play a critical role as to how your department’s services are perceived. Permit technician services are crucial to the success of the entire building safety workflow within building departments. The ability to convey proper information to permit applicants, properly calculate permit fees, properly route plans to various departments for review, tracking approvals, database management and permit issuance are all critical functions. We understand that the ability to deliver excellent customer service, maintaining a smooth flow of permit documents throughout departments, and maintaining accurate and up-to-date records, are all key elements to furnishing first-rate, efficient success of your building department. BPR permit technicians are skilled at and experienced in working both remotely and on-site to deliver quality permitting services.

will serve as Plan Review Services Manager. Bios for Ron, Mark and Roger can all be found in the previous section, Qualifications of Personnel.
7. METHOD TO ACCOMPLISH THE WORK
PLAN REVIEW APPROACH
All of BPR Consulting Group’s plan review services are closely managed from the moment a project is assigned to completion of our services. Once a project is assigned it is entered into our custom designed plan review database. The project documents are then triaged for completeness and to identify if any documents necessary for plan review have not been provided. Upon completion of the triage process, plans examiners are assigned as warranted by the scope of the proposed work associated with the specific project. All projects are closely monitored to ensure assigned staff have the time necessary in their schedules to comprehensively review assigned projects to maintain completion schedules.
We will assign a dedicated team of plans examiners to serve specific clients so your BPR plan review team will remain consistent throughout the term of the agreement. We believe assigning a dedicated team of plans examiners best serves the needs of our clients; with our firm you will not have randomly assigned plans examiners assigned to each project. All plan review services are closely monitored by our plan review supervisors and managers for consistency, thoroughness, and quality. We utilize a discipline approach to our plan review services, assigning a life safety reviewer, structural reviewer, electrical reviewer, mechanical/plumbing reviewer, grading/utility reviewer and fire reviewer as appropriate to each assigned project based on the proposed scope of work. We believe utilizing a discipline approach provides a more comprehensive plan review as each reviewer is a specialist in their discipline. Each plans examiner includes their email address and desk phone number with their plan review comments to facilitate direct and efficient communication between project designers and our professional plans examination staff. Our Plan Review Manager reviews each project for thoroughness and accuracy prior to plan review comments being issued or prior to recommendation of approval for permit purposes.
Upon award of a contract, our proposed Project Manager will schedule a meeting with the City’s representative to familiarize the team with the City’s plan review process, methods and style. BPR’s staff of engineers and plans examiners are experienced in working with multiple jurisdictions and adjusting so that they become an extension of your staff. We utilize a comprehensive “New Client Checklist” that documents specific requirements of each community we serve. Upon selection and before commencement of services, we schedule a meeting with our new clients to review specific plan review requirements and systems used by our clients so our services can be integrated in a seamless manner.
Should issues arise with the plan review services we have provided, our Plan Review Manager will contact City staff to make sure we fully understand the specific issue, review the plan review comment or other items in question, review the concern with our staff member, contact the project applicant if necessary to address the specific issue, reissue the plan review comment letter if needed, discuss the specific issue with our assigned team
CITY OF MAYWOOD
PROPOSAL TO PROVIDE BUILDING DEPARTMENT CONSULTING SERVICES BPR
of Plans Examiners to make sure the error in question is not repeated on future projects, and follow up with City staff to explain how the issue in question was resolved. Our Plan Review Manager will take any additional steps necessary to ensure that we continue to provide services that meet or exceed your expectations.
BUILDING INSPECTION APPROACH
BPR understands the importance of providing timely, dependable, professional building code compliance inspections with a focus on exemplary customer service to Maywood residents, applicants and contractors. BPR will assign an inspector to serve the City who is appropriately qualified, experienced and has the personality and attitude necessary to promote a positive inspection experience for permit applicants. Our goal will always be to assign an inspector who is bilingual to better serve the diverse needs of the community. BPR’s Inspector will always provide exceptional customer service and assist builders, architects, contractors and the public in achieving compliance in a customer focused manner. When corrections are necessary our field inspector will document necessary corrections in the form of a Field Inspection Correction Notice, will document the deficiency in question along with associated code section in question, and take the time to explain to the permit applicant what needs to be corrected to successfully pass the inspection. BPR’s inspector will perform all assigned building inspections, promptly complete all necessary office work including returning phone calls, emails, and updating databases as required.
PERMIT TECHNICIAN APPROACH
We understand that personality along with a customer service mindset is critical to providing top-notch permit technician services, and that these services are crucial to the success of the entire building safety workflow within building departments. The ability to convey proper information to permit applicants, properly calculate permit fees, properly route plans to various departments for review, tracking approvals, database management and permit issuance are all critical functions. BPR will provide a qualified and experienced permit technician to support the City’s Building Department who has the experience, character and aptitude necessary to work with customers and City staff to successfully provide outstanding service for Maywood. BPR’s Permit Technician will greet customers, explain relevant requirements necessary for permit issuance, screen project submittals for completeness, calculate permit fees, maintain databases, issue permits, and respond to inquiries related to permit issuance and inspection scheduling. Our goal will always be to assign a permit technician who is bilingual to best serve the diverse needs of the community.

AGENDA REPORT
CITY OF MAYWOOD
AGENDA ITEM NO. 11.
DATE: August 23, 2023
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JENNIFER VASQUEZ, CITY MANAGER
BY: MIGUEL LEON, ADMINISTRATIVE ANALYST
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION NO. 6316 GRANTING
CONTINUOUS CONSENT AND JURISDICTION TO THE COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES
FOR THE INCLUSION OF THE ENTIRETY OF THE CITY OF MAYWOOD WITHIN A
COUNTY SEWER MAINTENANCE DISTRICT
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 6316 granting continuous consent and jurisdiction to the County of Los Angeles for the inclusion of the entirety of the City of Maywood within a County sewer maintenance district.
BACKGROUND:
The City's sewer system consists of approximately 24 miles of gravity sewer pipes with diameters ranging from 3/4 inches to 4 inches, as well as 450 sewer manholes. The sewer system, with construction records dating back to the 1920s, is rapidly aging and requires remediation to ensure a healthy water cycle and protect public health.
On August 9, 2017, the Maywood City Council approved the City’s Sanitary Sewer Management Plan to outline and implement best management practices related to the operation and maintenance of the City’s sewer system. Subsequently, on June 13, 2018, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 18-05, which established a Citywide sewer service charge collected annually from property owners through the County of Los Angeles ("County") property tax rolls in order to fund ongoing sewer system maintenance and operations. This annual sewer service charge has been collected since Fiscal Year 2018-2019.
In early 2021, City Staff met with the County Public Works department ("County Public Works") regarding a partnership to complete cost-effective repairs to the City's sewer pipelines at highly critical locations. Through an existing General Services General Services Agreement, the City collaborated with County Public Works for such work. This agreement for services remains active.
The Citywide sewer service charge has greatly assisted the City with current maintenance needs but it will not fully cover repairs needed due to deferred maintenance that occurred prior to the establishment of the annual charge. Consequently, the City is seeking to secure grant funding for these larger repairs. Such grant funding, however, will not address the ongoing maintenance needs and future repairs that would not be covered under the current general service agreement. In addition, the City does not have the financial or staffing resources to continue only relying on a general services agreement.
Accordingly, the City approached County Public Works to discuss the framework for County Public Works to
permanently assume ongoing maintenance and operations of the City’s sewer system. The City conducted a comprehensive evaluation of its sewer system which included a strategic plan to fund the necessary sewer improvements identified in that evaluation, in order to eventually bring the City’s sewer system up to acceptable County Public Works standards. This is the first step and a condition of the City becoming a member city and being annexed into the County's Consolidated Sewer Maintenance District ("CSMD").
County Public Works approved the City's strategic plan to fund the necessary sewer improvements. As part of the annexation process to become a CSMD member, County Public Works required the City to replace its current sewer service charge methodology with the current CSMD sewer service charge methodology based on land use type.
Thereafter, on April 26, 2023, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 6298 authorizing staff to undertake proceedings to become a member city of CSMD as well as set a public hearing in connection with adoption of the CSMD sewer charge methodology and rates. On June 28, 2023, the City Council held a public hearing on the CSMD sewer charge methodology and rates and introduced Ordinance No. 23-05. Ordinance No. 23-05 established the annual sewer charge utilizing the CSMD methodology and amended the City's Municipal Code related to the same. In addition, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 6302 approving the written report and ordering the annual sewer service charge for Fiscal Year 2023-24 to be collected on the County of Los Angeles tax roll. On July 6, 2023, the City Council held the second reading and adopted Ordinance No. 23-05.
The proposed Resolution granting continuous consent and jurisdiction of the City's sewer system to the County is the last step in the process.
DISCUSSION:
Staff is recommending that the City Council adopt the proposed Resolution to become a member of the CSMD as this will be the most cost-effective alternative for Maywood to adequately operate and maintain its sewer system to protect public health.
With acceptance into the CSMD, the City's Public Works staff will maintain an active role in collaborating with County staff. This will facilitate the optimal maintenance and efficient operation of the sewer system.
Additionally, all capital improvements will be coordinated and regular maintenance and inspections will be scheduled to guarantee seamless sewer system operation.
The proposed resolution will notify the County of the City's intention and consent to the jurisdiction of the County to become a member of the sewer maintenance district. The County will then be required to initiate the process of incorporating the City of Maywood's sewer system into CSMD. The County will ultimately need to adopt its own resolution to formally annex the City's sewer system into CSMD and undertake. The City will work with County Public Works to facilitate this process so that the County can ultimately assume continuous responsibility for maintaining, operating, and improving the city's sewer system.
Staff will work closely with the County to ensure a seamless transfer of maintenance and operations responsibilities during the transition period, which will maintain uninterrupted service.
LEGAL REVIEW:
The City Attorney has reviewed this report.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Since Fiscal Year 2018-19, the City's previous sewer service charge under Ordinance No. 18-05 has generated approximately $300,000. The new sewer service charge under the adopted and current CSMD methodology, will generate approximately $386,000 annually in the City in Fiscal Year 2023-24. Once the County of Los Angeles completes the process of adding Maywood to a County sewer maintenance district, the County will begin collecting Maywood's entire annual sewer fee revenues to maintain and improve the City's sewer system.

THE INCLUSION OF THE ENTIRETY OF THE CITY OF MAYWOOD
WITHIN A COUNTY SEWER MAINTENANCE DISTRICT
WHEREAS, currently, the City does not have the resources, staff, or the equipment necessary to maintain sanitary sewers; and

Section 2. That pursuant to the authority vested in it by Section 4895 of said Health and Safety Code, or Section 5837 of said Streets and Highways Code, the City Council, being the legislative body of the City of Maywood, hereby consents, subject to Section 3 below, to the inclusion of City territory designated in Exhibit "A", attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, within a County sewer maintenance district, and to the exercise of exclusive jurisdiction by the Board of Supervisors of said County of Los Angeles over all proceedings necessary thereto for the purpose of consummating the same pursuant to applicable laws.
Section 3. That said consent and jurisdiction granted to the Board of Supervisors as set forth in Section 2 of this Resolution shall not be construed to request, require, or permit the immediate inclusion of all territory within the City of Maywood in a County sewer maintenance district, but only to request or permit the immediate inclusion of areas that are now served by sewers, or that are assured of having sewer service in the near future. Additional served areas may be included in a sewer maintenance district by annexation proceedings from time to time without securing further consent and grant of jurisdiction from this Council.

BACKGROUND:
The existing roofing system at City Hall, Sheriff Sub-Station, Maywood Cesar Chavez Library and City Hall Rear Storage Buildings has reached the end of their service life and has developed multiple leaks, leading to water damage inside those facilities. This poses a significant risk to the structural integrity of the building and the valuable assets in facilities. The re-roofing of these facilities is necessary due to the deterioration and wear of the current roof over time. The roofing system replacement will improve energy efficiency, reduce long-term operational costs and environmental impact.
This project has been included in the past two fiscal years (FY 2021/2022 and 2022/2023) as the City was considering various options and investigating the structural integrity of the roofing system to install energy efficient HVAC systems on the City Hall and Sub-Station facilities. Last fiscal year, the City spent $4,200 to study the structural integrity on these two facilities and contracted with a contractor to determine the needed support for the future installation of the HVACS that were ordered last fiscal year. Due to these findings, the FY 2023/2024 CIP budget was adjusted and included $110,000 as it was concluded that there would be no need for significant structural renovations and the project scope did not include the library, storage building nor asbestos abatement of certain facilities. However, after further discussion and findings that there is a need for asbestos abatement, staff felt it would be best to broaden the scope of work to include the library and storage buildings, which is the reason for the need for a larger project budget.
