Diego Police Equipment, Inc., and U.S. Armor Corp. Both vendors provide equipment that complies with the latest applicable National Institute of Justice ballistic or stab standards.

As of July 2024 the Menifee Police Department is authorized for 93 sworn staff. As of November 2024, the first purchased vests have begun expiring and need to be replaced. The JAG award would provide for the acquisition of 13 vests scheduled for replacement by the end of 2025.

The Menifee Police Department currently has a mandatory wear policy that all applicable staff are required to acknowledge upon hire. This acknowledgment is completed through the agencies Lexipol policy, and a JAG - Body Armor Mandatory Wear Policy Certification was included with the initial application documents. The oversight of the vest purchases would be managed by the department quartermaster.

STRATEGIC PLAN OBJECTIVE
Safe and Vibrant Community

FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact for the acceptance of the 2024 Justice Assistance Grant is $13,032 in both revenue and expenditures, to be recognized in Fiscal Year 2024/2025. The Finance Department would increase the budgeted revenue in federal grant revenue within the Grant Fund (2301- 17001-441000) and appropriate those funds to the Justice Assistance Grant (F) for Menifee Police Department within the Grant Fund (2301-MPD-17001-652845). No match by the City is required.

CITY OF MENIFEE
SUBJECT: Memorandum of Understanding with Menifee Valley Community Cupboard for Edible Food Recovery Grant
MEETING DATE: May 7, 2025
TO: Mayor and City Council
PREPARED BY: Kori Jones, Senior Management Analyst
REVIEWED BY: Mariana Mitchell, Community Services Director APPROVED BY: Armando G. Villa, City Manager
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

RECOMMENDED ACTION

1. Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute a Memorandum of Understanding with the Menifee Valley Community Cupboard for a six-month term to continue activities funded under the CalRecycle Edible Food Recovery Grant Program.

DISCUSSION
On February 1, 2023, the Menifee City Council approved a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City and the Menifee Valley Community Cupboard (MVCC) to expand food donation programs in the City. This initiative was developed in response to the requirements of Senate Bill (SB) 1383, which requires jurisdictions to expand their capacity to receive and donate unused edible food from businesses.

The original MOU with MVCC expired on April 1, 2025. To maintain the momentum of the program and align with the recently extended CalRecycle Edible Food Recovery Grant term of October 1, 2025, a new MOU has been proposed for the period of May 7, 2025, through October 1, 2025.

In October 2022, the City was one of only two jurisdictions statewide to receive funding through the Edible Food Recovery Grant Program, securing a total award of $241,360. As the primary grantee, the City administers all grant funds and is responsible for reimbursing MVCC for eligible expenses associated with the program.

The MVCC has provided vital assistance to families in the Menifee area since 1998 and serves over 700 households each month with food drives and its thrift store at their primary location in the Sun City area. The MVCC has deep roots in the community and has established close relationships with many local businesses. Through the grant partnership, the MVCC now runs satellite food distribution sites in the underserved communities of Quail Valley and Romoland by Item Title: 10.7

utilizing a refrigerated box truck purchased with grant funds. The refrigerated truck has also allowed MVCC to accept and provide more fresh produce and meat products to families in need.

Upgrades to their preparation station at their main headquarters also allow MVCC to accept and repackage bulk donations received from businesses. Lastly, MVCC has assisted with providing education to businesses on understanding the SB 1383 legislation, how to establish a donation program for any unused food, clarifying the types of food that can be donated, setting up recordkeeping, and food storage techniques. These efforts have helped the City to meet the requirements of SB 1383 and expanded food donation and collection in Menifee ensuring that more households are cared for.

Since the award, the Edible Food Recovery Program has accomplished several key goals and established the City’s compliance with the related section of SB 1383, including:
•Funded purchase of a refrigerated box truck to be retained by MVCC and used to operate satellite food distribution sites in Romoland and Quail Valley •Upgrade and expansion of MVCC primary location to allow for acceptance of bulk donation •Purchase equipment to support satellite food distribution •Created two jobs (MVCC program support and driver)

TO: Mayor and City Council
PREPARED BY: Carlos E. Geronimo, Engineering Manager

APPROVED BY: Armando G. Villa, City Manager
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

RECOMMENDED ACTION

1. Award bid and authorize the City Manager to execute a Contract Services Agreement with Ames Construction, Inc. for construction services for the Bradley Road Bridge Over Salt Creek Project, Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Project No. 13-04, in a total not-to-exceed amount of $16,152,581.15; and

2. Authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 1, in substantially the form provided in the attached Draft Amendment, to the Utility Agreement with Eastern Municipal Water District (EMWD) updating the total reimbursement costs in a total not-to-exceed amount of $2,921,200; and

3. Adopt a budget amendment resolution appropriating $2,921,200 of Capital Project Funds (Fund 4320) in revenues and expenditures.

DISCUSSION
The Bradley Road Bridge Over Salt Creek Project, CIP No. 13-04 (“Project”), would replace the existing low-flow crossing located on Bradley Road at Salt Creek with a 335 foot-long by 64-foot- wide all-weather bridge to accommodate the conveyance of 100-year flood flows. The Project also includes access ramps on either side of the bridge abutments, major drainage improvements, relocation of the existing Salt Creek Trail crossing, bridge lighting, and striping. The Project area includes the segment of Bradley Road from south of Rio Vista Drive and continues to just north of Potomac Drive.

On March 20, 2025, an electronic bid opening was held following the administration of a formal competitive bid process for construction services for the Project. The bid opening resulted in the receipt of ten bid submissions, as summarized in Table 1.

Reyes Construction, Inc. $19,234,297.00
MCM Construction, Inc. $21,876,389.00
SEMA Construction, Inc. $22,321,872.01
Due to the Project receiving federal funding through the Community Project Funded Congressional Directed Spending (CPFCDS) Program, all proponents were required to submit specific Caltrans forms within five days of the bid opening deadline. Although Myers & Sons appeared to be the lowest bidder, they failed to submit the required forms by the specified deadline and were therefore deemed non-responsive.

Staff reviewed the second lowest bid and determined that Ames Construction, Inc. (“Contractor”) satisfies all requirements to be recommended as the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.

The Contractor submitted all required documentation and forms by the specified deadline. The total cost for construction services with the Contractor is $16,152,581.15.

Construction management and inspection services, including labor compliance and materials testing, were previously awarded by the City Council on November 1, 2023, to Accenture (formerly Anser Advisory) in an amount not to exceed $2,253,619.42.

The total estimated construction cost for the Project is $18,589,312.80. This estimate includes additional expenses such as external agency permitting and inspection fees, mandatory environmental mitigation payments, and other potential unforeseen costs during construction. The previously awarded Accenture construction management services agreement is not included in this construction cost estimate.

If approved by the City Council, the tentative Project schedule would be as follows:

Construction Start: June 2025
Construction End: August 2026
City Council Acceptance: December 2026
The timeline above assumes no delays due to weather or unforeseen conditions.

Environmental Impact
Due to the Project receiving federal funds, the project had to prepare and clear the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the National Environmental Pollution Agency (NEPA).

Under CEQA, the project has been determined to be a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) and under NEPA, a Categorical Exclusion (CE).

The CEQA MND, SCH No: 2016121033, was filed on February 27, 2017, and has made the following determinations:

1. The project will not have a significant effect on the environment.

2. A Negative Declaration was prepared for this project pursuant to the provisions of CEQA.

3. Mitigation measures were made a condition of the approval of the project.

4. A mitigation reporting or monitoring plan was adopted for this project.

5. A statement of Overriding Considerations was not adopted for this project.

6. Findings were not made pursuant to the provisions of CEQA Since the time of adoption of the Final MND, information regarding associated or nearby improvements have been identified, including minor improvements within the approved project impact footprint under the purview of other public agencies. Therefore, as lead agency under the CEQA, the City prepared an Addendum to the Final MND on December 2021 in accordance with CEQA (California Public Resources Code, § 21000 et seq.) and implemented CEQA Guidelines (California Code of Regulations (CCR) Title 14, Chapter 3, § 15000 et seq.), addressing changes from what was previously assessed in the Final MND. Caltrans is the lead agency for NEPA in the State of California. Caltrans has certified that it has carried out the responsibility to make this determination pursuant to 23 U.S. Code § 326 and the Memorandum of Understanding dated April 18, 2022, executed between Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Caltrans. Caltrans has determined that the project is a Categorical Exclusion under 23 CFR 771.117(c): activity (c)(26).

This determination was made on March 29, 2024.

EMWD Reimbursement and Utility Agreement
EMWD owns and maintains all water and sewer appurtenances in the Project area and is therefore responsible for the costs associated with the adjustment or relocation of these utilities.

It is typical for the identified water and sewer utilities to be adjusted or relocated by the City’s Contractor and later reimbursed by EMWD. In August 2024, a Utility Agreement was executed which identified the utility relocation efforts associated with the Project in the total amount of $2,028,000.00. Following the formal bidding process, the bid item costs associated with the utility relocation efforts came in higher than originally anticipated.

As a result, the Utility Agreement must now be amended to reflect the Contractor’s actual bid item costs, which would increase EMWD’s total reimbursable amount to $2,921,200.00. The terms for Amendment No. 1 are currently under review to ensure the City’s interests are protected. As a result, minor modifications to the language in the proposed Amendment may occur. Changes to the Amendment language would not impact the final reimbursable amount, which would remain for a total amount not-to-exceed $2,921,200.00. EMWD is aware of the increased costs associated with the relocation efforts and has agreed to amend the Utility Agreement accordingly.

The proposed Budget Amendment Resolution (BAR) would appropriate $2,921,200.00 within the Capital Projects Fund (Fund 4320) to the current fiscal year budget to reflect the reimbursable Item Title: 10.8

FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact of the approval of Amendment No. 1 to the Utility Agreement with EMWD is for the total amount not-to-exceed $2,921,200.00. The Council would adopt a BAR to appropriate corresponding revenues, which would be a reimbursement by EMWD upon completion (4320- 437710), and expenditures within the Capital Projects Fund (4320-PWD-CIPS-760000) to the current fiscal year Project budget in the amount of $2,921,200.00 as summarized in Table 2.

herein. Contractor shall at all times faithfully, competently, and to the best of its ability, experience, and talent, perform all Services described herein. Contractor covenants that it shall follow the highest professional standards in performing the Services required hereunder and that all materials, parts, and equipment furnished by the Contractor in the performance of the Services shall be new, high grade, and free from defects. Used or secondhand materials, parts, and equipment may be used only if so specified in the Special Provisions.

Care of Work. Contractor shall adopt reasonable methods during the term of this Agreement to furnish continuous protection to the Services, and the equipment, materials, papers, documents, plans, studies, and/or other components thereof to prevent losses or damages, and shall be responsible for all such damages, to persons or property, until acceptance of the Services by City, except such losses or damages as may be caused by City’s own negligence. c. Safety. Contractor shall execute and maintain its work so as to avoid injury or damage to any person or property. In carrying out the Services, Contractor shall at all times be in compliance with all applicable local, state, and federal laws, rules and regulations, and shall exercise all necessary precautions for the safety of employees appropriate to the nature of the work and the conditions under which the work is to be performed.

Contractor agrees that for a period of one (1) year (or the period of time specified elsewhere in this Agreement or in any guarantee or warranty provided by any manufacturer or supplier of equipment or materials incorporated into the work, whichever is later) after the date of final acceptance, Contractor shall within ten (10) days after being notified in writing by City of any defect in the work or non-conformance of the work to this Agreement, commence and prosecute with due diligence all work necessary to fulfill the terms of the warranty at Contractor’s sole cost and expense. Contractor shall act sooner as requested by City in response to an emergency. In addition, Contractor shall, at its sole cost and expense, repair and replace any portions of the work (or work of other contractors) damaged by Contractor’s defective work or which becomes damaged in the course of repairing or replacing defective work. For any work so corrected, Contractor’s obligation hereunder to correct defective work shall be reinstated for an additional one (1) year period, commencing with the date of acceptance of such corrected work. Contractor shall perform such tests as City may require to verify that any corrective actions, including, without limitation, redesign, repairs, and replacements comply with the requirements of this Agreement.

and materials necessary to gain access, shall be the sole responsibility of Contractor. All warranties and guarantees of subcontractors, suppliers, and manufacturers with respect to any portion of the work, whether express or implied, are deemed to be obtained by Contractor for the benefit of City, regardless of whether or not such warranties and guarantees have been transferred or assigned to City by separate agreement and Contractor agrees to enforce such warranties and guarantees, if necessary, on behalf of City. In the event that Contractor fails to perform its obligations under this Section, or under any other warranty or guaranty under this Agreement, to the reasonable satisfaction of City, City shall have the right to correct and replace any defective or non-conforming work and any work damaged by such work or the replacement or correction thereof at Contractor’s sole expense. Contractor shall be obligated to fully reimburse City for any expenses incurred hereunder upon demand.
e. Skilled and Trained Workforce. Contractor, for itself and its subcontractors at every tier, hereby provides an enforceable commitment to comply with California Public Contract Code section 2600 et seq., which requires use of a skilled and trained workforce to perform all work on the agreements that fall within an apprenticeable occupation in the building and construction trades.
f. Inspection and Final Acceptance. The Services shall be performed to the satisfaction 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 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. In the event that City, in its sole discretion, at any time during the term of this Agreement, desires the reassignment of any such persons, Contractor shall, immediately upon receiving notice from City of such desire of City, reassign such person or persons.

1.5 Time. Time is of the essence in the performance of this Agreement. Contractor shall devote such time to the performance of the Services pursuant to this Agreement as may be reasonably necessary to satisfy Contractor’s obligations hereunder. Contractor shall commence the Services pursuant to this Agreement upon receipt of a written notice to proceed and shall perform all Services within the time period(s) established in the Scope of Services. When requested by Contractor, extensions to the time period(s) specified in the Scope of Services may be approved in writing by the Contract Administrator.

Contractor, including, but not restricted to, acts of God or of the public enemy, unusually severe weather, fires, earthquakes, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, riots, strikes, freight embargoes, wars, litigation, and/or acts of any governmental agency, including City, if Contractor 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 Provisions. Additional terms and conditions of this Agreement, if any, which are made a part hereof are set forth in the “Special Provisions” 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.

SECTION 3. FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT.

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. Insurance or bonds required by this Agreement shall be satisfactory only if issued by companies qualified to do business in California, rated “A” or better in the most recent edition of Best Rating Guide, The Key Rating Guide, or in the Federal Register, and only if they are of a financial category Class VII or better, unless such requirements are waived by the Contract Administrator in the Contract Administrator’s sole discretion. If this Agreement continues for more than three (3) years duration, or in the event the Contract Administrator determines that the Services to be performed under this Agreement creates an increased or decreased risk of loss to City, Contractor agrees that the minimum limits of the insurance policies and the performance bond required by Section 4 may be changed accordingly upon receipt of written notice from the Contract Administrator; provided that Contractor shall have the right to appeal a determination of increased coverage by the Contract Administrator to the City Council of City within ten (10) days of receipt of notice from the Contract Administrator. Notwithstanding the forgoing, any provision of the Special Provisions shall replace and take precedence over any subsection of this Section 4 relating to insurance.

4.1 Workers’ Compensation.

In the alternative, Contractor may rely on a self- insurance program to meet those requirements, but only if the program of self-insurance complies fully with the provisions of the California Labor Code. 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. Pursuant to California Labor Code Section 1860, Contractor is required to secure the payment of compensation to Contractor’s employees. Pursuant to California Labor Code Section 1861, Contractor hereby submits to City the following:

I am aware of the provisions of Section 3700 of the California Labor Code which require every employer to be insured against liability for workers' compensation or to undertake self-insurance in accordance with the provisions of that code, and I will comply with such provisions before commencing the performance of the work of this contract.

7.6 Unfair Business Practices Claims. In entering into this Agreement, Contractor offers and agrees to assign to City all rights, title, and interest in and to all causes of action it may have under Section 4 of the Clayton Act (15 U.S.C. § 15) or under the Cartwright Act (Chapter 2, (commencing with Section 16700) of Part 2 of Division 7 of the Business and Professions Code), arising from purchases of goods, services, or materials related to this Agreement. This assignment shall be made and become effective at the time City renders final payment to Contractor without further acknowledgment of the Parties.

7.7 Annual Appropriation of Funding. In accord with Article 16 Section 18 of the California Constitution, payment of compensation under this Agreement is contingent upon annual appropriation of funds by City for that purpose. Contractor acknowledges and agrees that to the extent that the Services extend beyond one (1) fiscal year, payment for such Services is expressly conditioned on City’s annual appropriation of funds for such Services for each year. If no funds are appropriated then this Agreement shall be terminated. City pledges and agrees to process such appropriation requests annually and in good faith. Nothing in this Subsection shall be construed to limit the right of either Party to terminate this Agreement as provided herein.

7.8 Liquidated Damages. Since the determination of actual damages for any delay in performance of this Agreement would be extremely difficult or impractical to determine in the event of a breach of this Agreement, Contractor and its sureties shall be liable for and shall pay to City as liquidated damages the amount set forth in the Special Provisions, or if no amount is set Item Title: 10.8

forth therein, the sum of FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($500.00), for each working day of delay in the performance of any of the Services. City may withhold from any monies payable on account of the Services performed by Contractor any accrued liquidated damages.

SECTION 8. TERMINATION AND MODIFICATION.

8.1 Termination. City may terminate this Agreement at any time and without cause upon thirty (30) days’ written notification to Contractor. City may also terminate this Agreement pursuant to Subsection 8.8.

8.2 Termination by Contractor. Contractor may terminate this Agreement upon sixty (60) days’ written notice to City.

8.3 Consequences of Termination. In the event of termination, Contractor shall be entitled to compensation for the Services satisfactorily performed up to the date of termination; City, however, may condition payment of such compensation upon Contractor delivering to City any or all materials provided to Contractor or prepared by or for Contractor or City in connection with this Agreement. Upon receipt of any notice of termination, Contractor shall immediately cease all Services hereunder except such as may be specifically approved by the Contract Administrator.

8.4 Administrative Change Orders. City shall have the right at any time during the performance of the Services, without invalidating this Agreement, to order extra work beyond that specified in the Scope of Services or make changes by altering, adding to, or deducting from said work. No such extra work may be undertaken unless a written change order is first given by the Contract Administrator to Contractor, incorporating therein any adjustment in (i) the total compensation, and/or (ii) the time to perform this Agreement, which said adjustments are subject to the written approval of Contractor. Any increase in compensation of up to five percent (5%) of the total compensation or TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS ($25,000), whichever is less; or in the time to perform of up to one hundred eighty (180) days may be approved in writing by the Contract Administrator. Contractor understands and agrees that, if City grants an extension in time without additional work, City shall have no obligation to provide Contractor with compensation beyond the maximum amount provided for in this Agreement. Similarly, unless authorized by the Contract Administrator, City shall have no obligation to reimburse Contractor for any otherwise reimbursable expenses incurred during the extension period. All other extensions or modifications to this Agreement shall require a written amendment pursuant to Subsection 8.5.

8.5 Amendments. The Parties may amend this Agreement only by a writing signed by all the Parties. The Contract Administrator shall have the authority to execute amendments to this Agreement which do not materially change the terms hereof, in the Contract Administrator’s discretion, to the extent permitted by applicable federal, state, and local law. The Contract Administrator may refer any proposed amendment to the City Council for review and approval.

8.6 Assignment and Subcontracting. City and Contractor recognize and agree that this Agreement contemplates personal performance by Contractor and is based upon a determination of Contractor’s unique personal competence, experience, and specialized personal knowledge.

Moreover, a substantial inducement to City for entering into this Agreement was and is the professional reputation and competence of Contractor. Contractor may not assign this Agreement or any interest therein without the prior written approval of the Contract Administrator. Contractor shall not subcontract any portion of the performance contemplated and provided for herein, other than to the subcontractors noted in the Scope of Services, without prior written approval of the Contract Administrator. In the event of any unapproved assignment, including in connection with any bankruptcy proceeding, this Agreement shall be void. No approved assignment shall release Contractor or any surety of Contractor of any liability hereunder without the express consent of City.

8.7 Survival. All obligations arising prior to the expiration or termination of this Agreement and all provisions of this Agreement allocating liability between City and Contractor shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

8.8 Disputes, Default. In the event that Contractor is in default under the terms of this Agreement, City shall not have any obligation or duty to continue compensating Contractor for any of the Services performed after the date of default. Instead, City may give notice to Contractor of the default and the reasons for the default. The notice shall include the timeframe in which Contractor may cure the default. This timeframe is presumptively thirty (30) days, but may be extended, though not reduced, in the sole discretion of the Contract Administrator. During the period of time that Contractor is in default, City shall hold all invoices and shall, when the default is cured, proceed with payment on the invoices. In the alternative, City may, in its sole discretion, elect to pay some or all of the outstanding invoices during the period of default. If Contractor does not cure the default, City's remedies shall include, but not be limited to, any or all of the following:
a. Immediately terminate this Agreement;
b. Retain the plans, specifications, drawings, reports, design documents, and any other work product prepared by Contractor pursuant to this Agreement; c. Retain a different contractor to complete the Services; and/or d. Charge Contractor the difference between the cost to complete the Services that is unfinished at the time of breach and the amount that City would have paid Contractor pursuant to Section 2 if Contractor had completed the Services.

Any failure on the part of City to give notice of Contractor’s default shall not be deemed to result in a waiver of City’s legal rights or any rights arising out of any provision of this Agreement.

8.9 Claims by Contractor. Claims, as that term is defined in California Public Contract Code Section 9204, by Contractor and, where applicable, any subcontractor, in connection with a public works project shall by subject to the mediation procedure in California Public Contract Code Section 9204.

CITY OF MENIFEE
SUBJECT: Bid Award and Agreement with Integrated Demolition and Remediation, Inc. for Abatement Services for the Cherry Hills Facility Improvements Project
MEETING DATE: May 7, 2025
TO: Mayor and City Council
PREPARED BY: Michael To, Project Manager
REVIEWED BY: Nick Fidler, Public Works Director
APPROVED BY: Armando G. Villa, City Manager
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

RECOMMENDED ACTION

1. Award bid and authorize the City Manager to execute a Contract Services Agreement with Integrated Demolition and Remediation, Inc. for abatement services for the Cherry Hills Facility Improvements – Phase I Project, Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Project No. 23- 13, in a total not-to-exceed amount of $172,300.

DISCUSSION
The Cherry Hills Facility – Phase I Project, CIP Project No. 23-13 (“Project”) is located at 26800 Cherry Hills Boulevard in the City of Menifee. The existing building was built in 1965 and is approximately 9,800 square feet and operated as the Bank of America for the Sun City community. The City purchased the facility in April 2023 with the intention of providing additional space for the expanding Police Department, which currently operates out of a leased satellite office located in the Cherry Hills Plaza.

The first phase of the Project would include the abatement of existing asbestos throughout the building and remodeling of approximately 2,500 square feet of the existing facility to accommodate Police Department staff. Additionally, the Project would construct a new partition wall, reconstruct the public lobby, restrooms, kitchen area, office areas/workstations for 20 officers, upgrade security systems, windows, access doors, existing plumbing, electrical, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. The existing parking lot would be retrofitted, and all walkways would be upgraded to comply with current Americans with Disabilities Act standards. The proposed improvements would allow the facility to house assigned police personnel and would provide additional space for future City Hall staff, as needed. The Project would meet the City’s Strategic Plan Goal to enhance public safety.

On July 9, 2024, the City Manager administratively approved a Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with Cardinal Environmental Consultants, Inc. (“Consultant”) for hazmat management services. Under the PSA, the Consultant was to identify and provide a comprehensive technical report of existing hazardous material throughout the Project area. The report was completed on November 27, 2024, and reflected multiple areas of the facility which contained asbestos and lead. Asbestos abatement must be completed as a requirement preceding the design and construction of a tenant improvement project. The abatement would include the full asbestos abatement and disposal of hazardous containing materials including the removal of all interior finishes necessary to facilitate the asbestos removal process including cabinetry, ceiling tiles and grid system, plumbing, and ducting. The removal of all toilets, cabinetry, and water faucets would be required to facilitate the removal of drywall, as well as any additional hazardous material as detailed within the report. The water would be temporarily disconnected prior to performing demolition, and all doors, door frames, ceramic flooring, and interior walls would remain in place.

On February 18, 2025, an electronic bid opening was held following the administration of a formal competitive bid process for abatement services for the Project. The bid opening resulted in the receipt of five bid submissions, as summarized in Table 1.

All costs associated with such corrective actions and testing, including the removal, replacement, and reinstitution of equipment and materials necessary to gain access, shall be the sole responsibility of Contractor. All warranties and guarantees of subcontractors, suppliers, and manufacturers with respect to any portion of the work, whether express or implied, are deemed to be obtained by Contractor for the benefit of City, regardless of whether or not such warranties and guarantees have been transferred or assigned to City by separate agreement and Contractor agrees to enforce such warranties and guarantees, if necessary, on behalf of City. In the event that Contractor fails to perform its obligations under this Section, or under any other warranty or guaranty under this Agreement, to the reasonable satisfaction of City, City shall have the right to correct and replace any defective or non-conforming work and any work damaged by such work or the replacement or correction thereof at Contractor’s sole expense. Contractor shall be obligated to fully reimburse City for any expenses incurred hereunder upon demand. e. Skilled and Trained Workforce. Contractor, for itself and its subcontractors at every tier, hereby provides an enforceable commitment to comply with California Public Contract Code section 2600 et seq., which requires use of a skilled and trained workforce to perform all work on the agreements that fall within an apprenticeable occupation in the building and construction trades.
f. Inspection and Final Acceptance. The Services shall be performed to the satisfaction 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 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.

unforeseeable causes beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of Contractor, including, but not restricted to, acts of God or of the public enemy, unusually severe weather, fires, earthquakes, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, riots, strikes, freight embargoes, wars, litigation, and/or acts of any governmental agency, including City, if Contractor 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

f. Receipts for expenses to be reimbursed;
g. The Principals’ signatures.

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 Item Title: 10.9

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.

Contractor shall not be entitled to any additional compensation for the attendance of meetings reasonably deemed necessary by City for the execution of the Services.

2.9 Payment of Taxes. Contractor is solely responsible for the payment of employment taxes incurred under this Agreement and any federal or state taxes.

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.

3.2 Utility Relocation. Where applicable, pursuant to California Government Code Section 4215, City is responsible for removal, relocation, or protection of existing main or trunkline utilities to the extent such utilities were not identified in the invitation for bids or specifications.

not be assessed liquidated damages for delay arising from the removal or relocation of such unidentified utility facilities.

3.3 Trenches or Excavations. Pursuant to California Public Contract Code Sections 6705 and 7104, in the event the work included in this Agreement requires excavations more than four (4) feet in depth, the following shall apply.
a. Contractor shall promptly, and before the following conditions are disturbed, notify City, in writing, of any: (1) material that Contractor believes may be material that is hazardous waste, as defined in Section 25117 of the Health and Safety Code, that is required to be removed to a Class I, Class II, or Class III disposal site in accordance with provisions of existing law; (2) subsurface or latent physical conditions at the site different from those indicated by information about the site made available to bidders prior to the deadline for submitting bids; or (3) unknown physical conditions at the site of any unusual nature, different materially from those ordinarily encountered and generally recognized as inherent in work of the character provided for in this Agreement.
b. If the Services involve the excavation of any trench or trenches five (5) feet or more in depth, Contractor shall submit for acceptance by the City Engineer, in advance of excavation, a detailed plan showing the design of shoring, bracing, sloping, or other provisions to be made for worker protection from the hazard of caving ground during the excavation of such trench or trenches. If such plan varies from the shoring system standards, the plan shall be prepared by a registered civil or structural engineer.
c. City shall promptly investigate the conditions, and if it finds that the conditions do materially so differ, or do involve hazardous waste, and cause a decrease or increase in Contractor’s cost of, or the time required for, performance of any part of the work shall issue an order or amendment for additional services pursuant to Subsection 8.4 or 8.5 of this Agreement. d. If a dispute arises between City and Contractor whether the conditions materially differ, or involve hazardous waste, or cause a decrease or increase in Contractor’s cost of, or time required for, performance of any part of the work, Contractor shall not be excused from any scheduled completion date provided for by this Agreement, but shall proceed with all work to be performed under this Agreement. Contractor shall retain any and all rights provided either by contract or by law which pertain to the resolution of disputes and protests between the Parties.

SECTION 4. INSURANCE AND BOND REQUIREMENTS.

insurance required herein for the subcontractor(s) and provided evidence thereof to City, and has delivered the required bonds to City. Verification of the required insurance shall be submitted and made part of this 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. Insurance or bonds required by this Agreement shall be satisfactory only if issued by companies qualified to do business in California, rated “A” or better in the most recent edition of Best Rating Guide, The Key Rating Guide, or in the Federal Register, and only if they are of a financial category Class VII or better, unless such requirements are waived by the Contract Administrator in the Contract Administrator’s sole discretion. If this Agreement continues for more than three (3) years duration, or in the event the Contract Administrator determines that the Services to be performed under this Agreement creates an increased or decreased risk of loss to City, Contractor agrees that the minimum limits of the insurance policies and the performance bond required by Section 4 may be changed accordingly upon receipt of written notice from the Contract Administrator; provided that Contractor shall have the right to appeal a determination of increased coverage by the Contract Administrator to the City Council of City within ten (10) days of receipt of notice from the Contract Administrator. Notwithstanding the forgoing, any provision of the Special Provisions shall replace and take precedence over any subsection of this Section 4 relating to insurance.

4.1 Workers’ Compensation. Contractor shall, at its sole cost and expense, maintain Statutory Workers’ Compensation Insurance and Employer’s Liability Insurance for any and all persons employed directly or indirectly by Contractor pursuant to the provisions of the California Labor Code. Statutory Workers’ Compensation Insurance and Employer’s Liability Insurance shall be provided with limits of not less than ONE MILLION DOLLARS ($1,000,000.00) per accident, ONE MILLION DOLLARS ($1,000,000.00) disease per employee, and ONE MILLION DOLLARS ($1,000,000.00) disease per policy. In the alternative, Contractor may rely on a self- insurance program to meet those requirements, but only if the program of self- insurance complies fully with the provisions of the California Labor Code. 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. Pursuant to California Labor Code Section 1860, Contractor is required to secure the payment of compensation to Contractor’s employees. Pursuant to California Labor Code Section 1861, Contractor hereby submits to City the following:

I am aware of the provisions of Section 3700 of the California Labor Code which require every employer to be insured against liability for workers' compensation or to undertake self-insurance in accordance with the provisions of that code, and I will comply with such provisions before commencing the performance of the work of this contract.

8.6 Assignment and Subcontracting. City and Contractor recognize and agree that this Agreement contemplates personal performance by Contractor and is based upon a determination of Contractor’s unique personal competence, experience, and specialized personal knowledge.

Moreover, a substantial inducement to City for entering into this Agreement was and is the professional reputation and competence of Contractor. Contractor may not assign this Agreement or any interest therein without the prior written approval of the Contract Administrator. Contractor shall not subcontract any portion of the performance contemplated and provided for herein, other than to the subcontractors noted in the Scope of Services, without prior written approval of the Contract Administrator.

8.7 Survival. All obligations arising prior to the expiration or termination of this Agreement and all provisions of this Agreement allocating liability between City and Contractor shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

8.8 Disputes, Default.

Instead, City may give notice to Contractor of the default and the reasons for the default. The notice shall include the timeframe in which Contractor may cure the default. This timeframe is presumptively thirty (30) days, but may be extended, though not reduced, in the sole discretion of the Contract Administrator. During the period of time that Contractor is in default, City shall hold all invoices and shall, when the default is cured, proceed with payment on the invoices. In the alternative, City may, in its sole discretion, elect to pay some or all of the outstanding invoices during the period of default. If Contractor does not cure the default, City's remedies shall include, but not be limited to, any or all of the following:
a. Immediately terminate this Agreement;
b. Retain the plans, specifications, drawings, reports, design documents, and any other work product prepared by Contractor pursuant to this Agreement; c. Retain a different contractor to complete the Services; and/or d. Charge Contractor the difference between the cost to complete the Services that is unfinished at the time of breach and the amount that City would have paid Contractor pursuant to Section 2 if Contractor had completed the Services.

Any failure on the part of City to give notice of Contractor’s default shall not be deemed to result in a waiver of City’s legal rights or any rights arising out of any provision of this Agreement.

8.9 Claims by Contractor. Claims, as that term is defined in California Public Contract Code Section 9204, by Contractor and, where applicable, any subcontractor, in connection with a public works project shall by subject to the mediation procedure in California Public Contract Code Section 9204.

CITY OF MENIFEE
SUBJECT: Bid Award and Agreements with Dana Safety Supply, West Coast Lights & Sirens, and American Emergency Products
(AEP) for Police Vehicle Upfitting Services
MEETING DATE: May 7, 2025
TO: Mayor and City Council
PREPARED BY: Denise Keith, Lieutenant
REVIEWED BY: Chris Karrer, Police Chief
APPROVED BY: Armando G. Villa, City Manager
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

RECOMMENDED ACTION

1. Award a bid and authorize the City Manager to execute a General Services Agreement with Dana Safety Supply, West Coast Lights & Sirens, and American Emergency Products (AEP) for On-Call Police Vehicle Upfitting Services in a total not-to-exceed amount of $500,000 through June 30, 2029, which includes an initial not-to-exceed amount of $300,000 through June 30, 2027, and up to two $100,000 one-year optional renewals; and

2. Authorize the Finance Department to issue individual purchase orders against the agreements.

DISCUSSION
The Menifee Police Department maintains a growing fleet of law enforcement and support vehicles that require specialized upfitting services. These include the installation of emergency and safety equipment for patrol vehicles, undercover units, administrative vehicles, code enforcement vehicles, and other departmental fleet assets. The upfitting work includes installation of light bars, radios, sirens, prisoner partitions, custom consoles, and other components that ensure each vehicle is operationally ready for field use.

To meet the City’s growing public safety demands and ensure the timely delivery of properly outfitted police vehicles, the Police Department initiated the process of establishing a pool of pre- qualified vendors. These vendors would be selected based on their availability, responsiveness, pricing, and ability to meet the scope of each project. The objective is to build long-term partnerships with experienced firms capable of providing reliable and cost-effective vehicle upfitting services.
