able to complete the comprehensive final design allowing staff to proceed with the construction phase of the project. The design included two separate and unique structures: the main shade structure and the rear storage and preparation area.
In order to move forward with the Project, there are three separate agreements for the City Council to take into consideration including construction, design support services and construction management services, beginning with the agreement with Optima RPM, Inc., for Project construction.
As required by the California Public Contract Code (CPCC), on August 11, 2023, a construction bid was released using the plans prepared by TYLin for the Capital Improvement Project (CIP) No. 19-15 Central Park Amenities Project (“Project”). The bid was advertised for 46 days with a bid opening date of August 11, 2023. The City received a total of four bids with only three bids being considered responsive. The nonresponsive bid did not meet all City requirements for the solicitation. Given that the lowest responsive bid amount was higher-than-expected and above the available budget, on September 6, 2023 the City Council approved the rejection of all four bids.
After the rejection of the bids, staff reviewed the bid documents and concluded that there were specific bid items listed that could be adjusted and/or removed to lower the cost of the project.
These items included sound and lighting features that would not be integral to the construction of the structure. By re-bidding the Project, staff were hopeful that they would be able to obtain a cost closer to the project’s approved budget.
On September 7, 2023, a Notice of Inviting Bid (NIB) was advertised for four weeks with an opening date of October 5, 2023. Taking into consideration the results of the previous NIB, the bid items were separated into two categories. The bidders were asked to provide pricing for the required items which are integral to the construction of the structure and pricing for the audio- visual items that were determined to be optional add-ons. The optional add-ons include features such as the Menifee sign, the loudspeakers, various lighting features, and the demolition of the existing curb-gutter.
The CPCC states that for public projects, the contract shall be awarded to the lowest responsive bidder. Five bids were received with four bids being considered responsive as shown in Table 1 on the following page. The nonresponsive bid did not meet all City requirements for the solicitation having had missed the required hardcopy documents.

Staff reviewed the submitted bid documents and determined that the lowest responsive bidder was Optima RPM, Inc. (“Optima”). Optima is a California-based company that holds an active registration with the Department of Industrial Relations (DIR). A reference check was conducted that provided a positive response.
Pursuant to the bid documents, bidders may file a bid protest within five business days from the release of the Notice of Intent. On October 12, 2023, Act 1 Construction, Inc. submitted a formal protest letter. At issue from the bid protest received was determining whether the lowest apparent bidder, Optima, failed to meet the “responsive” and/or “responsible requirements”. Following review and analysis of the protest and consultation with legal counsel, the City determined that the concerns addressed in the protest were either not valid and/or would not result in the disqualification of Optima as a responsive and responsible bidder for the Project.
Act 1 Construction Inc. has continued to express concern outside of the bid protest process specifically related to the required licensing to perform the work required for the project. However, given that Optima in its bid has represented it retains the required licensing with in-house staff to complete the amphitheater project, as well as has completed several public works projects for various municipalities, including more recently the Lazy Creek Recreation Center Renovation and Expansion for the City of Menifee, staff remain resolute in the rejection of the bid protest.
The estimated timeline for project completion is March 2025. Table 2 below outlines the total cost for the Project, including the additional requested contract award amounts for construction management and design support services, detailed in separate staff reports.

Staff is recommending moving forward with the required construction only, based on available funding. The optional Audio-Visual items such as the lighted logo, LED structure interior/exterior lighting, and an integrated sound system with mixing board, can be completed in a later phase when funding is available. This decision will not impact future events at Central Park as staff will continue to contract out for Audio-Visual services which is already a part of the Community Services Department adopted budget for FY 2023/24 and FY 2024/25.
The proposed Project has been determined to be Categorically Exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and CEQA Guidelines, Section 15301 (Class 1 - Existing Facilities).

FISCAL IMPACT
The cost for the construction portion without the optional audio-visual items is estimated at $5,646,770 including base construction costs and any other unforeseen costs which may arise during the project construction. The total anticipated cost for the project including construction, construction management, labor compliance, design support services, and other costs typically associated with a construction project is estimated at $6,626,861. Due to the expansion of the project scope and the increase in costs associated with raw materials and labor in recent years, an additional $3,755,973 is required to complete the needed funding for project construction. The funding required to support the remaining construction costs has been identified and summarized in Table 3 below.

The City received approximately $13.2 million in ARP funds eligible to be used for a range of expenses incurred between March 3, 2021 through December 31, 2024. The approval of the BAR would include an appropriation of additional funding in the total amount of $1,841,667 from available ARP funds as a one-time capital project. This would ensure the grant funds are expended within the required timeframe while being allocated for public improvements that would not require additional future funding.
General Fund and DIF Citywide Parks Funds are available for allocation to the Project with the acceptance of the one-time CSA 145 Quimby fees from the County of Riverside and the reimbursement of the General Fund and DIF Citywide Parks Fund for the expenses associated with the Lazy Creek Recreation Center, an eligible CSA 145 facility.
Additionally, the identified funding in Fund 620 Local Parks (Quimby) are funds paid for by developers in lieu of dedicating parkland in order to meet their Quimby Act requirements and can only be used towards the creation or improvement of park facilities and amenities. Central Park has been identified as a citywide park amenity due to the centralized location, size of the park, and park amenities. The use of these funds for this project would improve the park program offerings as a benefit to all Menifee residents.

guarantees, if necessary, on behalf of City.

City may inspect and accept or reject any of Contractor’s work under this Agreement, during performance and/or when completed. City shall reject or finally accept Contractor’s work within forty five (45) days after submitted to City. City shall accept work by a timely written acceptance, otherwise work shall be deemed to have been rejected. City’s acceptance shall be conclusive as to such work except with respect to latent defects, fraud, and such gross mistakes as amount to fraud. Acceptance of any work by City shall not constitute a waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement including, but not limited to, Section 4 and Section 5, pertaining to insurance and indemnification, respectively.
1.4 Assignment of Personnel. Contractor shall assign only competent personnel to perform the Services. Contractor shall make every reasonable effort to maintain the stability and continuity of Contractor’s staff and subcontractors, if any, assigned to perform the Services.
Contractor shall notify City of any changes in Contractor’s staff and subcontractors, if any, assigned to perform the Services, prior to and during any such performance.

shall within ten (10) days of the commencement of such delay notify the Contract Administrator in writing of the causes of the delay. The Contract Administrator shall ascertain the facts and the extent of delay, and extend the time for performing the Services for the period of the enforced delay when and if in the sole judgment of the Contract Administrator such delay is justified. The Contract Administrator’s determination shall be final and conclusive upon the Parties to this Agreement. In no event shall Contractor be entitled to recover damages against City for any delay in the performance of this Agreement, however caused, Contractor’s sole remedy being extension of this Agreement pursuant to this Section.
1.7 Suspension of Services. The City Engineer of City (“Engineer”) shall have the authority to suspend the Services, wholly or in part, for such period as the Engineer may deem necessary, due to unsuitable weather or to such other conditions as are considered unfavorable for the suitable prosecution of the Services, or for such time as the Engineer may deem necessary due to the failure on the part of Contractor to carry out orders given or to perform any provisions of the Services. Contractor shall immediately comply with the written order of the Engineer to suspend the Services wholly or in part and shall not resume the Services until ordered to do so in writing by the Engineer. Such suspension shall be without liability to Contractor on the part of City. In the event a suspension of work is ordered because of failure on the part of Contractor to carry out orders given or to perform any provisions of the Services, such suspension of the Services shall not relieve Contractor of responsibility to complete the Services within the time limit set forth herein and shall not be considered cause for extension of the time for completion and, further, such suspension of the Services shall not entitle Contractor to any additional compensation.
1.8 Familiarity with Work and Worksite. By executing this Agreement, Contractor warrants that Contractor (i) has thoroughly investigated and considered the Services, (ii) has carefully considered how the Services should be performed, and (iii) fully understands the facilities, difficulties, and restrictions attending performance of the Services. If the Services involve work upon any site, Contractor warrants that Contractor has or will investigate the site and is or will be fully acquainted with the conditions there existing, prior to commencement of the Services hereunder. Should Contractor discover any latent or unknown conditions, which will materially affect the performance of the Services hereunder, Contractor shall immediately inform City of such fact and shall not proceed until written instructions are received from the Contract Administrator.
1.9 Further Responsibilities of the Parties. Both Parties agree to use reasonable care and diligence to perform their respective obligations under this Agreement. Both Parties agree to act in good faith to execute all instruments, prepare all documents, and take all actions as may be reasonably necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement. Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, neither Party shall be responsible for the service of the other.
1.10 Special Requirements. Additional terms and conditions of this Agreement, if any, which are made a part hereof are set forth in the “Special Requirements” attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by this reference. In the event of a conflict between the provisions of Exhibit A and any other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of Exhibit A shall govern.

Invoices shall be submitted to:
City of Menifee
Attn: Accounts Payable
29844 Haun Road
Menifee, CA 92586
2.4 City Payment of Invoices. City shall independently review each invoice submitted by Contractor to determine whether the work performed and expenses incurred are in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. City will use its best efforts to cause Contractor to be paid within thirty (30) days of receipt of Contractor’s correct and undisputed invoice. In the event any charges or expenses are disputed by City, the original invoice shall be returned by City to Contractor for correction and resubmission. Pursuant to California Public Contract Code Section 20104.50, Contractor is notified that for public works Services, City’s failure to pay undisputed and properly submitted invoices within thirty (30) days shall be subject to interest at the legal rate set forth in Code of Civil Procedure Section 685.010. Any invoice for public works Services determined not to be a proper invoice suitable for payment shall be returned to the Contractor as soon as practicable, but not later than seven (7) days, after receipt. An invoice returned pursuant to the foregoing shall be accompanied by a writing stating the reasons why the invoice is not proper.
2.5 Retention of Funds, Final Payment.
a. Contractor hereby authorizes City, in the sole discretion of the Contract Administrator, to retain and deduct from any amount payable to Contractor not exceeding five percent (5%) of the total compensation. The retained funds shall be paid to Contractor within sixty (60) days after final acceptance of the Services by the City and after Contractor has furnished City with full release of all undisputed payments under this Agreement. In the event there are any claims specifically excluded by Contractor from the operation of the release, City may retain proceeds of up to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the amount in dispute. The failure of City to exercise such right to deduct or to withhold shall not, however, affect the obligations of Contractor to insure, indemnify, and protect City as provided in this Agreement. b. Notwithstanding Paragraph a, California Public Contract Code Section 22300 permits the substitution of securities for any retention monies withheld by City for public works Services. At the request and expense of Contractor, securities equivalent to the monies withheld shall be deposited with City, or with a state or federally chartered bank in California as the escrow agent, who shall then pay such monies to Contractor. City retains the sole discretion to approve the bank selected by Contractor to serve as escrow agent. Upon satisfactory completion of the Services, the securities shall be returned to Contractor. Securities eligible for investment shall include those listed in Government Code Section 16430. Contractor shall be the beneficial owner of any securities substituted for monies withheld and shall receive any interest thereon. In the alternative, under California Public Contract Code Section 22300, Contractor may request City to make payment of earned retention monies directly to the escrow agent at the expense of Contractor. Also at Contractor’s expense, Contractor may direct investment of the payments into securities, and Contractor shall receive interest earned on such investment upon the same conditions as provided for securities deposited by Contractor. Upon satisfactory completion of the Item Title: 12.1

2.6 Total Payment. City shall not pay any additional sum for any expense or cost whatsoever incurred by Contractor in rendering the Services pursuant to this Agreement. City shall make no payment for any extra, further, or additional service pursuant to this Agreement.

2.7 Hourly Fees. Fees for the Services performed by Contractor on an hourly basis shall not exceed the amounts shown on the fee schedule included with Exhibit B.
2.8 Reimbursable Expenses. Reimbursable expenses are included within the maximum amount of this Agreement. Reimbursable expenses not listed in Exhibit B must be approved in advance by the Contract Administrator, in his or her sole discretion.

2.10 Payment upon Termination. In the event that City or Contractor terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 8, City shall compensate Contractor for all outstanding costs and reimbursable expenses incurred for Services satisfactorily completed and for reimbursable expenses as of the date of written notice of termination. Contractor shall maintain adequate logs and timesheets in order to verify costs and reimbursable expenses incurred to that date.
2.11 No Waiver. Payment to Contractor for Services performed pursuant to this Agreement shall not be deemed to waive any defects in work performed by Contractor.
SECTION 3. FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT.
3.1 Contractor Provides Facilities and Equipment. Except as otherwise provided, Contractor shall, at its sole cost and expense, provide all facilities and equipment necessary to perform the services required by this Agreement. In no event shall City be required to furnish any facility or equipment that may involve incurring any direct expense.

Agreement prior to execution. Contractor acknowledges the insurance policy must cover inter- insured suits between City and other insureds. Contractor agrees that the requirement to provide insurance shall not be construed as limiting in any way the extent to which Contractor may be held responsible for the payment of damages to any persons or property resulting from Contractor’s activities or the activities of any person or persons for which Contractor is otherwise responsible nor shall it limit Contractor’s indemnification liabilities as provided in Section 5.

Determination of whether a self-insurance program meets the standards of the California Labor Code shall be solely in the discretion of the Contract Administrator. The insurer, if insurance is provided, or Contractor, if a program of self- insurance is provided, shall waive all rights of subrogation against City and its officers, officials, employees, and authorized volunteers for loss arising from the Services performed under this Agreement.

To Whom It May Concern:
The City of Menifee is in receipt of your bid protest (Attachment 1) received on October 11, 2023 related to Capital Improvement Project CIP 19 -15: Central Park Amphitheater , which had its bid opening on October 5, 2023.
Pursuant to the bid documents, and specifically the bid protest instructions outlined within the Notice of Intent to Award issued for the project, Bidders may file a “bid protest” of any Bid(s) with the Agency’s Purchasing Department at City Hall, 29844 Ha un Rd, Menifee, California 92586. The bid protest must satisfy all of the following requirements:
A. Be filed in writing not later than 5:00 p.m. on the fifth business day after the Notice of Intent to Award has been posted;
B. Clearly identify the specific alleged irregularity or other basis for the bid protest;
C. Specify, in detail, the factual and legal grounds for the bid protest; and
D. Include all relevant supporting documentation with the bid protest at time of filing.
If the bid protest does not meet all these requirements, the Agency may reject it without further review.
If the bid protest is timely and complies with all of the above requirements, the Agency’s Procurement Manager, or other designated Agency staff member, shall review the bid protest, any response from the challenged Bidder, and all other relevant information. The Agency may at its discretion prepare a response to the bid protest. Agency staff may make recommendations to the awarding authority to consider, accept, or reject any bid protest(s) in connection with the award of the contract for the Project.

At issue from the bid protest received is determining whether the lowest apparent bidder, Optima RPM, Inc, failed to meet the “responsive” and/or “responsible” requirements, base d on the items identified within the protest letter.
Following review and analysis of the protest and consultation with legal counsel, the City has determined that your protest will be rejected. City staff has independently reviewed and confirmed the bid bond documents to be recognized and honored by the iss uing Surety company, as well as reviewed the licensing of Optima and its employees presented to satisfy the requirements to legally perform the work included within the scope of work of the project.
Conclusion:

CITY OF MENIFEE
SUBJECT: Agreement with T.Y. Lin International for the Central Park Amphitheater Project Design Support Services
MEETING DATE: December 6, 2023
TO: Mayor and City Council
PREPARED BY: Nancy Rodriguez, Management Analyst
REVIEWED BY: Jonathan Nicks, Deputy City Manager
APPROVED BY: Rebekah Kramer, Acting City Manager
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute a Professional Services Agreement with T.Y. Lin International for as needed on-call design support services of the Central Park Amphitheater in the amount not-to-exceed $125,000.
DISCUSSION
As part of the newly adopted Strategic Plan, the City has increased its focus on community engagement and social infrastructure by focusing on opportunities where residents can gather and engage with the community. On March 3, 2021, the City Council unanimously approved the conceptual design for the Central Park Amphitheater (“Project”). The conceptual design presented was approved after years of progressive work from a simple shade structure to a sophisticated and premiere architectural centerpiece for the City. The amphitheater would be used for annual City events as well as to hold concerts and art shows by local musical groups and performers.
On June 2, 2021, the City Council authorized an agreement with TYLin for the full design, engineering, and architectural services of the amphitheater. Taking into consideration the previously approved conceptual design, TYLin was able to complete the comprehensive final design allowing staff to proceed with the construction phase of the project. The design included two separate and unique structures: the main shade structure and the rear storage and preparation area.
As the designer, TYLin would be required to remain part of the team and would provide as-needed design support services up to $125,000. The design services are required to accommodate unanticipated field conditions discovered during the project construction activity. TYLin is part of the City’s on-call list for design and engineering services. Staff has determined the cost to be reasonable considering the magnitude of the project.

0 3
In order to move forward with the Project, there are three separate agreements for the City Council to take into consideration. In separate staff reports for the City Council’s consideration is an agreement with SouthStar Engineering & Consulting, Inc. for construction management services and an agreement with Optima RPM, Inc. for construction services. This staff report addresses the Project’s design support services and the agreement with T.Y. International (TYLin).
The proposed Project has been determined to be Categorically Exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and CEQA Guidelines, Section 15301 (Class 1 - Existing Facilities).
STRATEGIC PLAN OBJECTIVE
Community Engagement and Social Infrastructure
FISCAL IMPACT
The cost of the agreement with TYLin would not exceed $125,000 for design support services.
Funds are currently available in the existing project funding and no additional appropriation would be required for this recommended action.
The total anticipated cost for the Project is estimated at $6,626,861 which includes construction, construction management, labor compliance, design support services, and other costs typically associated with a construction project. Approval of the design support services for the Project is contingent upon approval of the agreements and associated budget amendments required to support the Project Construction (Optima RPM, Inc.) and Construction Management (Southstar) services.

Management
MEETING DATE: December 6, 2023
TO: Mayor and City Council
PREPARED BY: Nancy Rodriguez, Management Analyst
REVIEWED BY: Jonathan Nicks, Deputy City Manager
APPROVED BY: Rebekah Kramer, Acting City Manager
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute a Professional Services Agreement with Southstar Engineering & Consulting, Inc. for construction management services in an amount not-to-exceed $855,091.
DISCUSSION
As part of the newly adopted Strategic Plan, the City has increased its focus on community engagement and social infrastructure by focusing on opportunities where residents can gather and engage with the community. On March 3, 2021, the City Council unanimously approved the conceptual design for the Central Park Amphitheater (“Project”). The conceptual design presented was approved after years of progressive work from a simple shade structure to a sophisticated and premiere architectural centerpiece for the City. The amphitheater would be used for annual City events as well as to hold concerts and art shows by local musical groups and performers.
On June 2, 2021, the City Council authorized a professional services agreement with TYLin International (“TYLin”) for the full design, engineering, and architectural services of the amphitheater. Taking into consideration the previously approved conceptual design, TYLin was able to complete the comprehensive final design allowing staff to proceed with the construction phase of the project. The design included two separate and unique structures: the main shade structure and the rear storage and preparation area. To continue with the construction of the amphitheater, a construction management and labor and compliance consultant would be required.
On August 30, 2023, staff issued Request for Proposal (RFP) No. 2024-6 for the construction management services required for this Project. The work would consist of construction Item Title: 12.3

management and labor and compliance services. The City received a sole proposal from Southstar Engineering & Consulting, Inc (SouthStar).
A committee consisting of City staff evaluated the proposal to determine if they met the needs of the Project. The firm was evaluated based on the criteria set forth in the RFP which included qualifications of the firm, proposed staffing plan, project approach, project understanding, and quality of responsiveness of the proposal.
Under the California Government Code Section 4526 local agencies are required to select professional services for construction project management solely on the basis of demonstrated competence and professional qualifications. For this reason, cost proposals are sealed until the selection process is completed. Following the selection of SouthStar as the highest-ranking proposer, staff-initiated cost negotiations resulting in a cost reduction of $143,407 as detailed in Table 1.
Table 1 – SouthStar Proposal Cost
Cost
Original Proposal Cost $998,498
Final Cost $855,091
Total Amount Reduced $143,407
The proposed Project has been determined to be Categorically Exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and CEQA Guidelines, Section 15301 (Class 1 - Existing Facilities).
STRATEGIC PLAN OBJECTIVE
Community Engagement and Social Infrastructure
FISCAL IMPACT
The cost of the agreement with SouthStar Engineering & Consulting Inc. for construction management totals $855,091. Funds are currently available in the existing project funding, and no additional budget appropriation would be required for this action.
The total anticipated cost for the project is estimated at $6,626,861 which includes construction, construction management, labor compliance, design support services, and other costs typically associated with a construction project. Approval of the Construction Management services for the Project is contingent upon approval of the agreements and associated budget amendments required to support the Project Design Support Services (TYLin) and Construction (Optima RPM).
