AGENDA REPORT

SECTION: CONSENT - AGREEMENTS
ITEM NO.: 1
FILE I.D.: PDT205
DEPT.: POLICE
PREPARER: B. VENTURA
SUBJECT: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AGREEMENT NO. 22–44 WITH ALL CITY MANAGEMENT SERVICES, INC. FOR SCHOOL CROSSING GUARD SERVICES SUBJECT TO ANY
REVISIONS DEEMED NECESSARY BY THE CITY ATTORNEY
REASON FOR CONSIDERATION: The City Council is requested to consider approval of Agreement No. 22–44 with All City Management Services, Inc. for school crossing guard services for Fiscal Year 2022–23.
Proposed Agreement No. 22–44 is attached for City Council’s review and consideration.
BACKGROUND: All City Management Services, Inc. has provided school crossing guard services for the City since November 1998 and has notified Police Department staff that its hourly rate for crossing guard services will increase for Fiscal Year 2022–23. The adjustment would increase the current hourly rate by $1.48, resulting in an hourly billing rate of $26.39. The wage increase is a direct result of Senate Bill 3, which provides for an annual $1 increase from January 1, 2021, through January 1, 2023, at which time the hourly minimum wage will have reached $15 per hour.
All City Management Services, Inc. has indicated that, in order to maintain its workforce, it must maintain a buffer between the state–mandated minimum wage and its own wage rates. The company must also provide wages that would allow it to effectively compete against other part–time employers for recruitment and retention of crossing guards.
FISCAL IMPACT: With the rate increase, All City Management Services, Inc. has calculated the estimated annual program cost to be $200,000. Included in the Police Department’s preliminary Fiscal Year 2022–23 Budget is an allocation of $200,000 to provide crossing guard services for the 2022–23 school year.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the City Council approve Agreement No. 22–44 with All City Management Services, Inc. for school crossing guard services for Fiscal Year 2022–23 subject to any revisions deemed necessary by the City Attorney.

SECTION: CONSENT - AGREEMENTS
ITEM NO.: 3
FILE I.D.: FRD057
DEPT.: FIRE
PREPARER: D. POHL
SUBJECT: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AGREEMENT NO. 22–60 WITH CONSOLIDATED FIRE
AGENCIES OF SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY (CONFIRE) FOR CONTINUED DISPATCH
AND COMMUNICATION SERVICES SUBJECT TO ANY REVISIONS DEEMED NECESSARY
BY THE CITY ATTORNEY
REASON FOR CONSIDERATION: The City Council is requested to consider approval of Agreement No. 22–60 with Consolidated Fire Agencies of San Bernardino County (CONFIRE) for continued dispatch and communication services subject to any revisions deemed necessary by the City Attorney. A copy of proposed Agreement No. 22–60 is attached for the City Council’s review and consideration.
BACKGROUND: CONFIRE currently provides dispatch and communication services for the Fire Department under Agreement No. 21–22, which will end on June 30, 2022.
Proposed Agreement No. 22–60 is for Fiscal Year 2022–23.
CONFIRE is a multiagency fire, emergency medical service, and local government dispatch center located at the southwest end of Rialto Municipal Airport adjacent to the County Emergency Operations Center. CONFIRE's primary mission is to provide direct fire/EMS dispatch service 24 hours a day, seven days a week for the CONFIRE Joint Powers Authority as well as contracting fire agencies.
CONFIRE utilizes state–of–the–art computer systems running TriTech CAD with ProQA for emergency medical dispatching, Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) software, integrated telephone systems running VESTA, and radio systems consisting of VHF and Motorola 800 MHz trunked Smartnet Systems. One of the main advantages provided by contracting with CONFIRE is the use of AVL software, which allows dispatchers to know where fire units are located in real time via a satellite surveillance system. This system allows for the closest fire unit available to be dispatched to an emergency regardless of jurisdictional geography. Proposed Agreement No. 22–60 includes the annual maintenance fees of the WestNet First–In Fire Station Alerting System. CONFIRE has a bulk agreement with WestNet for supported agencies to receive group pricing—this cost has been included in the proposed Agreement with CONFIRE.
Contracting with CONFIRE continues to be the most prudent and cost effective option for dispatch and communication services.
FISCAL IMPACT: Approval of Agreement No. 22–60 would result in a net cost of $242,917 for Fiscal Year 2022–23, which is included in the proposed Fiscal Year 2022– 23 Budget in Program 4533 Emergency Services, Emergency Communication Services.
The cost of service for each contracting agency is based on each contracting agency’s call volume for the prior calendar year, as well as costs associated with equipment replacement, technology support, and administration.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the City Council approve Agreement No. 22–60 with CONFIRE for continued dispatch and communication services subject to any revisions deemed necessary by the City Attorney.

CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA REPORT
DATE: JUNE 20, 2022
SECTION: CONSENT - AGREEMENTS
ITEM NO.: 4
FILE I.D.: PUB115A
DEPT.: PUBLIC WORKS
PREPARER: S.STANTON
SUBJECT: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AGREEMENT NO. 22–62, THE SIXTH AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT NO. 06–77 WITH CASC ENGINEERING, INC. FOR WATER QUALITY AND
STORMWATER COMPLIANCE SERVICES SUBJECT TO ANY REVISIONS DEEMED
NECESSARY BY THE CITY ATTORNEY
REASON FOR CONSIDERATION: Agreement No. 06–77 with CASC Engineering, Inc. was approved by the City Council in 2006 to provide plan–checking services for Water Quality Management Plans (WQMPs). It has been amended and extended five times, with Agreement No. 17–15 being the most recent. Agreement No. 17–15 expires on June 30, 2022. The City Council is requested to consider approval of Agreement No. 22–62 with CASC Engineering to continue assisting the City with WQMPs and stormwater compliance services. A copy of proposed Agreement No. 22–62 with CASC Engineering, Inc. is attached for City Council review and consideration.
BACKGROUND: Since 2004, WQMPs are required for developments in San Bernardino County. The City has been reviewing and approving WQMPs since November 2004. In April 2006, the Regional Water Quality Control Board (Regional Board) notified the City of a change in the requirements for WQMPs. At that time, the Regional Board determined that WQMPs for many projects must address “Hydrologic Conditions of Concern” (HCOC).
Under the direction of the Regional Board, most developers are now required to address HCOC issues in their WQMP. The HCOC requirement, together with other concerns, means the WQMP must be prepared by or under the direction of a registered civil engineer, which is the developer’s responsibility. The City, in turn, must have a registered civil engineer review and approve the information provided. CASC Engineering employs the appropriate personnel to both prepare and review WQMPs.
CASC Engineering also provides a variety of stormwater compliance services, such as Qualified Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan Practitioner (QSP) services for Capital Improvement Projects under the State Construction General Permit (CGP) and Qualified Industrial Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Developer (QISD) services per the Industrial General Permit. Stormwater requirements are ever–increasing with the adoption of every new National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit.
Therefore, CASC Engineering’s scope of work is expanded to include these services should the City ever need program assistance or management.
The City anticipates the adoption of a new General Stormwater Permit near the end of 2022 or the beginning of 2023. The new permit will be a multi–regional permit where the Counties of San Bernardino, Riverside, and Orange will be required to adopt and enforce the same permit policies. This new permit will significantly change the Inland Empire agencies, as the coastal cities have historically had more stringent stormwater requirements. Approval of Agreement No. 22–62 will allow the City to request assistance from CASC Engineering to ensure a smooth transition to the new permit.
MONTCLAIR CITY COUNCIL MEETING - 06/20/2022 Page 47 of 186 CASC Engineering has been reviewing WQMPs for the City since July 2006 and has performed these reviews exceptionally well. CASC is very responsive to the City with WQMP issues and reviews and has continually maintained its knowledge of state water quality requirements. CASC will continue to assist City staff with new stormwater regulations and future NPDES requirements.
FISCAL IMPACT: The City Council has established plan check fees for WQMP review. It is the developers’ responsibility to pay for the cost of reviewing their WQMPs. This review process is self–supporting with the application plan–check fees to pay for work performed by the City’s consultant. In addition, CASC Engineering, Inc. does not charge the maximum rate established for plan checks and is not requesting an increase for plan check services. If the City of Montclair needs CASC Engineering to provide additional services, the cost of their services will burden the improvement project so as not to impact the General Fund.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the City Council approve Agreement No. 22– 62, the sixth amendment to Agreement No. 06–77 with CASC Engineering, Inc. for water quality and stormwater compliance services subject to any revisions deemed necessary by the City Attorney.

Consultant agrees to and shall obtain executed indemnity agreements in favor of the Indemnified Parties with provisions identical to those set forth from each and every Subcontractor, Sub consultant, or other person or entity involved by, for, with, or on behalf of Consultant in the performance of any aspect of this Agreement.

Further, the indemnity provided shall be interpreted as broadly as permitted under California law and as to agreements between parties and shall if required be reformed to be consistent with those laws to protect and save this provision for the protection of the Indemnified Parties. (g) The obligations of Consultant under this or any other provision of this Agreement shall not be limited by the provisions of any workers’ compensation act or similar act. The Consultant expressly waives any statutory immunity under such statutes or laws as to the Indemnified Parties.

Client shall provide to OSHA all information required by applicable law, as well as AppleOne’s name, address, phone number and contact person, and the Temporary Employee’s name. Client shall notify AppleOne immediately after the report has been made.
6. Client will not reassign or relocate a Temporary Employee without prior written authorization by AppleOne.
Client agrees to assume all liability for any third party claim arising after any reassignment or relocation that occurs without such authorization.
7. Client understands that Temporary Employees are assigned to Client to render temporary services, and that absent an agreement to the contrary, are not assigned to become employed by Client. Client acknowledges the considerable expense incurred by AppleOne to advertise, recruit, evaluate, train and quality control its employees. Client will not, without prior written authorization by AppleOne, hire an AppleOne employee, interfere with the employment relationship between AppleOne and its employee, or directly or indirectly cause an AppleOne employee to transfer to another temporary help service.
8. Client understands that AppleOne may refer candidates for Client’s evaluation or assign AppleOne employees to render temporary services at Client often while such persons seek direct hire employment through AppleOne. If Client, either directly or indirectly, such as through any company within Client’s control, solicits, offers employment to and/or hires any AppleOne candidate or employee as an employee or consultant in any position, or utilizes such person’s services through another temporary or outsourcing service, or any party affiliated with Client refers such person to any other employer and said person becomes employed by that employer: i) at any time from the date such person’s identity is provided by AppleOne to Client until six (6) months thereafter, or ii) within six (6) months after termination of such person’s temporary assignment through AppleOne at Client, whichever is the later, Client agrees to pay AppleOne a direct hire fee in accordance with AppleOne’s standard fee schedule stipulated by the parties to be equal to thirty percent (30%) of such person’s first year annualized wage or salary. Unless Client presents written evidence to AppleOne of Client’s prior knowledge of an AppleOne referred candidate i) within three (3) business days of AppleOne’s referral of such candidate to Client, or ii) prior to Client’s interview of such candidate, or iii) prior to AppleOne’s assignment of such candidate at Client, whichever is earliest, Client understands and agrees that Client is liable for the payment of any direct hire fee due to AppleOne pursuant to this Agreement.
9. AppleOne offers temporary-to-hire services to Client. An AppleOne employee temporarily assigned to Client is an employee of AppleOne until released to Client. Should Client be interested in hiring an AppleOne referred candidate or employee, Client shall contact AppleOne, who will establish the terms and conditions for releasing such person to Client’s payroll, including the conversion fee to be paid by Client if such terms are not otherwise agreed to between the parties. If any Client accounts are in default according to the payment terms in Section 12, Client shall bring the accounts current prior to the hiring. If Client hires an AppleOne employee with a Client account in default, Client agrees to pay AppleOne a conversion fee equivalent to the direct hire fee as set forth in Section 8 of this Agreement.
INVOICING AND PAYMENT
10. Client understands that Temporary Employees must be paid weekly, and agrees to promptly review and approve or verify timecards or hours worked. Client agrees to pay and shall be liable for any and all charges incurred based upon Client approved or verified timecards or hours or similar information submitted by Client to AppleOne. If timecards or hours lack timely Client approval or verification, AppleOne will process payroll and invoices based upon the timecards or hours submitted by the employees.
11. Client shall reimburse AppleOne for any expenses that are incurred by AppleOne or Temporary Employees, which are reasonably related to or arise out of the services provided to Client or the discharge of duties by Temporary Employees for Client under this Agreement (“Reimbursable Expenses”). Such Reimbursable Expenses may include a reasonable amount for Temporary Employee internet service or mobile device service for remote work, Client-required equipment and tools, Client-required uniforms, pre-employment health screening (e.g., COVID-19 testing) and fit for duty doctor’s visit costs. Expenses for travel shall not be invoiced or reimbursed unless such travel expenses have been previously authorized by Client.

12. AppleOne shall invoice Client weekly for services and any other obligations hereunder. Client agrees that payment of invoices is due upon receipt. Client agrees that an account balance that remains unpaid thirty (30) days after the invoice date will be considered in default and that AppleOne may assess a default charge of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month on any such balance. Client agrees to pay any such default charges and any costs of collection, including attorneys’ fees.
13. Client’s payment method (Check box.): ApplePay’s eCheck. Client may sign up at www.applepay.com. ACH/Other shall be discussed between Client and the AppleOne representative.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event that AppleOne is subject to any third party fees or costs related to AppleOne’s compliance with Client’s invoicing or payment policies or practices (e.g., Ariba fees, credit card fees, etc.), AppleOne will pass such fees or costs through to Client without markup.
14. Client and AppleOne acknowledge that through the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, as amended (“ACA”), and regulations promulgated thereby, statutory requirements have been imposed upon certain employers of certain employees working in the United States. AppleOne is committed to fulfilling its ACA obligations through offering ACA-compliant benefits to eligible contingent workers, including Temporary Employees. In demonstrating Client’s commitment to ACA compliance, Client agrees to share in ACA-related costs by paying a $0.54 surcharge for each hour of service provided by each Temporary Employee. The surcharge will be billed to Client in a separate line item on the invoice.
15. Client, or federal, state or local laws, either currently existing or enacted in the future, may mandate that Temporary Employees undergo specific training (e.g., sexual harassment prevention training), presentations and other curricula (“Trainings”), where the payment of wages is required by law. Unless otherwise agreed to by the parties in writing, the parties agree that AppleOne will invoice Client for the time spent by Temporary Employee on such Trainings, as well as for voting, as allowed by applicable law, according to the regular markup percentage or bill rate that AppleOne charges for such employee.
16. Federal, state or local laws, either currently existing or enacted in the future, may require AppleOne or Client to provide one or more Temporary Employees with certain paid sick, quarantine or COVID-19-related leave (Each such law is a “Paid Leave Law.”). AppleOne and Client agree to comply with all provisions of each Paid Leave Law with respect to Temporary Employees as such laws become effective. Unless otherwise agreed to by the parties in a writing, to address the costs for compliance with a Paid Leave Law, the parties agree that AppleOne will invoice Client for the paid leave of a Temporary Employee according to the regular markup percentage or bill rate that AppleOne charges for such employee provided that the criteria required for the payment of leave to such employee under applicable law has been met.
17. Unless otherwise agreed to by the parties elsewhere in the Agreement and/or in any of the Agreement’s mutually agreed upon ancillary exhibit(s) or document(s), to the extent that AppleOne may be required to pay the Temporary Employee overtime under any federal, state or local law, AppleOne, as applicable, will bill Client i) based upon the Temporary Employee’s legally applicable hourly pay rate for overtime work plus the markup percentage for the Temporary Employee, or ii) an overtime bill rate, which will be calculated by applying a multiplier of 1.5 or 2.0 (for double time, where applicable) to the Temporary Employee’s hourly bill rate.
18. Additional agreed upon pricing for the services to Client under this Agreement may be set forth in one (1) or more exhibit(s) to this Agreement or as mutually agreed upon by the parties in writing. The parties agree that upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to Client, pricing under this Agreement may change if AppleOne’s expenses for statutory or other fixed costs increase, or if new or additional statutory or government-imposed taxes, fees or costs are incurred by AppleOne after the Effective Date. These taxes, fees or costs may include, but are not limited to those related to: Workers’ Compensation Insurance, State Unemployment Insurance, federal, state or local taxes, regulations or ordinances (including but not limited to Wage Determinations, Health & Welfare Benefits, SCLS/SCA, vacation pay, holiday pay, Paid Leave Laws or minimum wage laws), or an increase in the ACA surcharge. The parties agree that such written notice may be in the form of an electronic communication, including email.

19. Despite anything to the contrary in the Agreement, Client shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless AppleOne Parties from and against any and all Losses to the extent caused by Client’s failure to inform AppleOne, in writing, that Client or any job orders or services hereunder, are subject to Federal Acquisition Regulation and/or MONTCLAIR CITY COUNCIL MEETING - 06/20/2022 Page 76 of 186 Conditions of Service 2021 Page 4 of 5 AppleOne Confidential and Proprietary Information Legal JW 05272022

CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA REPORT
DATE: JUNE 20, 2022
SECTION: CONSENT - AGREEMENTS
ITEM NO.: 7
FILE I.D.: SEW080
DEPT.: COMMUNITY DEV.
PREPARER: S. GUTIERREZ
SUBJECT: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AGREEMENT NO. 22–65–I–109, AN IRREVOCABLE ANNEXATION AGREEMENT WITH 11185 ROSWELL, LLC FOR 11185 ROSWELL AVENUE, POMONA, CA 91766 (APN 1012–411–51–0000)
REASON FOR CONSIDERATION: Irrevocable Annexation Agreements are subject to City Council review and approval. The City Council is requested to consider approval of Agreement No. 22–65–I–109, an Irrevocable Annexation Agreement (IAA) with 11185 Roswell, LLC, to connect 11185 Roswell Avenue, Pomona to the City’s sewer system and annex the property into the City of Montclair at a future date.
BACKGROUND: On December 20, 2021, the Montclair City Council granted approval for a proposed IAA under Agreement No. 21–86–I–107, which allowed a connection to the sanitary sewer system owned and operated by the City of Montclair for a 0.88–acre industrial site located within the City’s Sphere of Influence at 11185 Roswell Avenue.
Following approval of the IAA, but prior to its recording against the property, the applicant sold the property. The change of ownership prior to Agreement No. 21–86–I– 107’s recordation rendered the IAA null and void. The new property owner, Andrew Pennor, is requesting approval of a new Irrevocable Annexation Agreement under the name 11185 Roswell, LLC, and a new agreement number, Agreement No. 22–65–I–109, was assigned.
The County’s zoning designation for the site is “Community Industrial (IC).” On May 21, 2021, the County of San Bernardino approved Minor Use Project No. PROJ–2020–00103 allowing the development of a 3,000 square foot office building and two pre–fabricated warehouse structures, totaling 7,000 square feet in area, with associated site improvements. The new development will provide office and storage space for a steel fabricating business. The project is currently under construction.
A City–owned 8–inch diameter sewer line is present and available in Roswell Avenue adjacent to the property’s frontage (Exhibit A). The proposed sewer connection request is consistent with the City’s policies and requirements. In exchange, the Agreement would require annexation of the property to the City when feasible at a future date. If approved by the City Council, staff will forward Agreement No. 22–65–I–109 to San Bernardino County’s Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) for review and approval. Following City Council and LAFCO approvals, the IAA is recorded against the property and becomes binding on future owners, heirs, successors, or assigns. Staff recommends City Council approve the proposed IAA to allow the requested City sewer connection for the new commercial use.
FISCAL IMPACT: The proposed Agreement would pose no fiscal impact on the City’s General Fund at this time, but will have a positive impact when the property is connected to the sewer in the future and begins to pay for sewer service.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the City Council approve Agreement No. 22– 65–I–109, an Irrevocable Annexation Agreement with 11185 Roswell, LLC for 11185 Roswell Avenue, Pomona, CA 91766 (APN 1012–411–51–0000).

NOW, THEREFORE, the Owner does agree as follows:
1. Owner does hereby give irrevocable consent to annex to the City of Montclair at such time as the annexation may be properly approved through appropriate legal proceedings, and Owner does further agree to provide all reasonable cooperation and assistance to the City in the annexation proceedings.

However, the property owner shall be responsible for all costs incurred by the City.
6. Owner shall install any and all future improvements upon said property to the City's standards, except that the County standard(s) shall apply when more restrictive than the City standard(s).

SECTION: CONSENT - AGREEMENTS
ITEM NO.: 8
FILE I.D.: PTD175
DEPT.: POLICE
PREPARER: B. KUMANSKI
SUBJECT: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AGREEMENT NO. 22–66 WITH LEXISNEXIS RISK SOLUTIONS
FOR ACCURINT TRAX CELLULAR PHONE DATA MAPPING AND ANALYSIS SOFTWARE
FOR USE IN CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS
CONSIDER AUTHORIZING A $6,800 APPROPRIATION FROM THE PROP 30/AB 109 FUND FOR COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH AGREEMENT NO. 22–66
CONSIDER AUTHORIZING EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, OFFICE OF PUBLIC SAFETY/POLICE
CHIEF ROBERT AVELS TO SIGN SAID AGREEMENT
REASON FOR CONSIDERATION: To help the Police Department efficiently analyze large amounts of cellular phone data collected during investigations, the City Council is requested to consider approval of Agreement No. 22–66 with LexisNexis Risk Solutions for Accurint TraX cellular phone data mapping and analysis software for use in criminal investigations, and to authorize a $6,800 appropriation from the Prop 30/AB 109 Fund for costs associated with Agreement No. 22–66. A copy of proposed Agreement No. 22– 66 with LexisNexis is attached for the City Council’s review and consideration.
BACKGROUND: Since the widespread use of cellular phones became the norm, obtaining call records and location data through search warrants and court orders has become an invaluable investigative tool for tracking suspects’ activities and locations. Previously, investigators would create spreadsheets and pin maps to plot locations and times for target phones, and often the data was incomplete or gave imprecise areas surrounding cell towers. As the technology has matured, the quantity and quality of the data has improved significantly, but has added the challenge of analyzing large amounts of data.
On a recent homicide investigation involving large quantities of phones and data, the Department reached out to the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department for assistance analyzing this data. The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department, as well as other agencies in the county, utilize LexisNexis Risk Solutions Accurint TraX software to facilitate this analysis. Using this tool, the Sheriff’s Department assisted with the identification of the primary suspect in the case by demonstrating he was present at the time of the crime and tracked his movements before and afterwards. The Department is familiar with LexisNexis products and already utilizes several of their services, including Accurint and the Desk Officer Reporting System for online reports.
With the success on this prior case, the Department obtained a free trial of the TraX software from LexisNexis and began utilizing it on open cases. Of particular note, the Department utilized the TraX trial to identify and locate the suspects from the recent homicide at the mall. In addition to these involved major cases, Detectives have used it for numerous smaller investigations to cut the amount of time needed to manually analyze the large amounts of cellular carrier data obtained though search warrants.
MONTCLAIR CITY COUNCIL MEETING - 06/20/2022 Page 85 of 186 In addition to the Department being an existing customer for other LexisNexis products, law enforcement agencies within the county, including the Montclair Police Department, are in the process of entering into a larger data–sharing agreement with LexisNexis for their Accurint Virtual Crime Center (AVCC). This system is planned as the replacement for Coplink, the existing data sharing system for agencies throughout the region. TraX integrates with these other LexisNexis products and enhances their function by adding data to searches and analysis. This allows for the ability to use other law enforcement data to identify and locate suspects. These unique factors eliminate any other competing products from consideration as they would not have the same functionality and compatibility with existing systems as TraX.
LexisNexis Risk Solutions provided a quote of $6,800 for a year of access to its Accurint TraX GIS cellular phone data mapping and analysis software. The term of the proposed agreement is one year with a 5 percent cost increase for each year thereafter.
FISCAL IMPACT: If authorized by the City Council, funding for Agreement No. 22–66 would result in an appropriation of $6,800 from the Prop 30/AB 109 Fund (1141).
Additional years of service, if authorized by the City Council, would result in an expenditure of $6,800 plus 5 percent for each year thereafter from the City’s General Fund.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the City Council take the following actions:
1. Approve Agreement No. 22–66 with LexisNexis Risk Solutions for Accurint TraX cellular phone data mapping and analysis software for use in criminal investigations.
2. Authorize a $6,800 appropriation from the Prop 30/AB 109 Fund to pay for the costs associated with Agreement No. 22–66.
3. Authorize Executive Director, Office of Public Safety/Police Chief Robert Avels to Sign Said Agreement.

III. Flow-down Agreement Terms and Conditions
The Parties agree that the following terms and conditions are applicable to Recipient and ordering, access to, and use of Limited Access DMF:
1. Compliance with Terms of Agreement and CFR. Recipient of Limited Access DMF must comply with the terms of the Agreement and the requirements of 15 CFR Part 1110, as though set forth as a Subscriber therein, and Recipients may not further distribute the Limited Access DMF.
2. Change in Status. Should Recipient’s status change such that it would no longer have a permissible purpose to access Limited Access DMF under this Addendum, Recipient agrees to immediately notify LN in writing in the manner and format required for notices under the Contract. Should Recipient cease to have access rights to Limited Access DMF, Recipient shall destroy all Limited Access DMF, and will certify to LN in writing that is has destroyed all such DMF.
3. Security and Audit. Recipient will at all times have security provisions in place to protect the Limited Access DMF from being visible, searchable, harvestable or in any way discoverable on the World Wide Web. Recipient understands that any successful attempt by any person to gain unauthorized access to or use of the Limited Access DMF provided by LN may result in immediate termination of Recipient’s access and this Addendum. In addition, any successful attempt by any person to gain unauthorized access may under certain circumstances result in penalties as prescribed in 15 CFR § 1110.200 levied on Recipient and the person attempting such access. Recipient will take appropriate action to ensure that all persons accessing the Limited Access DMF it obtains from LN are aware of their potential liability for misuse or attempting to gain unauthorized access. Any such access or attempted access is a breach, or attempted breach, of security and Recipient must immediately report the same to NTIS at [email protected]; and to LN by written notification to the LN Information Assurance and Data Protection Organization at 1000 Alderman Drive, Alpharetta, Georgia 30005 and by email ([email protected]) and by phone (1-888- 872-5375). Recipient agrees to be subject to audit by LN and/or NTIS to determine Recipient’s compliance with the requirements of this Addendum, the Agreement, and 15 CFR Part 1110.

6. Liability. The U.S. Government/NTIS and LN (a) make no warranty, express or implied, with respect to information provided under the Agreement, including but not limited to, implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for any particular use; (b) assume no liability for any direct, indirect or consequential damages flowing from any use of any part of the Limited Access DMF, including infringement of third party intellectual property rights; and (c) assume no liability for any errors or omissions in Limited Access DMF. The Limited Access DMF does have inaccuracies and NTIS and the Social Security Administration (SSA), which provides the DMF to NTIS, and LN, do not guarantee the accuracy of the Limited Access DMF. SSA does not have a death record for all deceased persons. Therefore, the absence of a particular person in the Limited Access DMF is not proof that the individual is alive. Further, in rare instances, it is possible for the records of a person who is not deceased to be included erroneously in the Limited Access DMF. Recipient specifically acknowledges the terms of Attachment B to the Agreement, which terms apply to Recipient.
7. Indemnification. To the extent not prohibited by law, Recipient shall indemnify and hold harmless LN and NTIS and the Department of Commerce from all claims, liabilities, demands, damages, expenses, and losses arising from or in connection with Recipient’s, Recipient’s employees’, contractors’, or subcontractors’ use of the Limited Access DMF. This provision will include any and all claims or liability arising from intellectual property rights.
8. Survival. Provisions hereof related to indemnification, use and protection of Limited Access DMF, audit, disclaimer of warranties, and governing law shall survive termination of this Addendum.
9. Conflict of Terms. Recipient acknowledges that the terms of this Addendum, in the event of conflict with the terms of the Contract, apply in addition to, and not in lieu of, such Contract terms, with respect to the Limited Access DMF only.

PREPARER: M. HEREDIA
SUBJECT: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AGREEMENT NO. 22–67 WITH TKE ENGINEERING, INC. FOR
ENGINEERING DESIGN SERVICES FOR THE RAMONA AVENUE AND HOWARD STREET ROUNDABOUT PROJECT [HSIPSL–5326(023)] SUBJECT TO ANY REVISIONS DEEMED
NECESSARY BY THE CITY ATTORNEY
REASON FOR CONSIDERATION: Engineering design services are required for the Ramona Avenue and Howard Street Roundabout Project. Agreements for professional services are subject to City Council approval. The City Council is requested to consider approval of Agreement No. 22–67 with TKE Engineering, Inc. for engineering design services for the Ramona Avenue and Howard Street Roundabout Project [HSIPSL– 5326(023)]. Proposed Agreement No. 22–67 with TKE Engineering, Inc. is attached for City Council review and consideration.
BACKGROUND: On March 26, 2021, the City was notified by the California Department of Transportation that the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) for Cycle 10 was successful and the City was awarded $771,000 for the Ramona Avenue and Howard Street Roundabout Project. The funding is designated for design services in the amount of $115,500 and construction in the amount of $655,500. Staff released a Request for Proposals via Planet Bids to solicit proposals for engineering design services. The City received four proposals as follows:
1. KOA Corporation
2. L.D. King, Inc.
3. Michael Baker International
4. TKE Engineering, Inc.
A panel of three staff members from the Public Works Department reviewed all proposals based on the criteria of qualifications, experience with similar projects, completeness, and clarity of proposal. The evaluating panel selected TKE Engineering, Inc. (TKE) as the successful applicant. TKE has extensive experience with HSIP, Safe Routes to School (SRTS), and Active Transportation Plan (ATP) state– and federally–funded design projects.
TKE has prepared design plans for five HSIP projects within the past five years and numerous other SRTS and ATP projects for more than ten cities throughout Southern California. Their project scope and in–depth understanding of roundabout design, knowledge of the funding source, and wide range of experience will allow TKE to hit the ground running.
FISCAL IMPACT: TKE Engineering, Inc. submitted a proposal to perform the work for $139,411. HSIP funds in the amount of $115,500 will cover the majority of the cost, and $23,911 in 2021 Lease Revenue Bond Funds will cover the remainder.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the City Council approve Agreement No. 22– 67 with TKE Engineering, Inc. for engineering design services for the Ramona Avenue and Howard Street Roundabout Project [HSIPSL–5326(023)] subject to any revisions deemed necessary by the City Attorney.

ARTICLE XVIII DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS ENTERPRISES (DBE) PARTICIPATION A. This AGREEMENT is subject to 49 CFR Part 26 entitled “Participation by Disadvantaged Business Enterprises in Department of Transportation Financial Assistance Programs”. CONSULTANTs who enter into a federally-funded agreement will assist the LOCAL AGENCY in a good faith effort to achieve California's statewide overall DBE goal.
B. The goal for DBE participation for this AGREEMENT is 0%. Participation by DBE CONSULTANT or subconsultants shall be in accordance with information contained in Exhibit 10- O1: Consultant Proposal DBE Commitment , or in Exhibit 10-O2: Consultant Contract DBE Commitment attached hereto and incorporated as part of the AGREEMENT (See Exhibit C). If a DBE subconsultant is unable to perform, CONSULTANT must make a good faith effort to replace him/her with another DBE subconsultant, if the goal is not otherwise met.
C. CONSULTANT can meet the DBE participation goal by either documenting commitments to DBEs to meet the AGREEMENT goal, or by documenting adequate good faith efforts to meet the AGREEMENT goal. An adequate good faith effort means that the CONSULTANT must show that it took all necessary and reasonable steps to achieve a DBE goal that, by their scope, intensity, and appropriateness to the objective, could reasonably be expected to meet the DBE goal. If CONSULTANT has not met the DBE goal, complete and submit Exhibit 15-H: DBE Information – Good Faith Efforts to document efforts to meet the goal. Refer to 49 CFR Part 26 for guidance regarding evaluation of good faith efforts to meet the DBE goal.

Agreement No. 22-67
D. DBEs and other small businesses, as defined in 49 CFR Part 26 are encouraged to participate in the performance of AGREEMENTs financed in whole or in part with federal funds. The LOCAL AGENCY, CONSULTANT or subconsultant shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, or sex in the performance of this contract. The CONSULTANT shall carry out applicable requirements of 49 CFR part 26 in the award and administration of DOT-assisted contracts. Failure by the CONSULTLANT to carry out these requirements is a material breach of this AGREEMENT, which may result in the termination of this AGREEMENT or such other remedy as the LOCAL AGENCY deems appropriate, which may include, but is not limited to:
(1) Withholding monthly progress payments;
(2) Assessing sanctions;
(3) Liquidated damages; and/or
(4) Disqualifying the contractor from future bidding as non-responsible E. A DBE firm may be terminated only with prior written approval from LOCAL AGENCY and only for the reasons specified in 49 CFR §26.53(f). Prior to requesting LOCAL AGENCY consent for the termination, CONSULTANT must meet the procedural requirements specified in 49 CFR §26.53(f).
If a DBE subconsultant is unable to perform, CONSULTANT must make a good faith effort to replace him/her with another DBE subconsultant, if the goal is not otherwise met.
F. Consultant shall not be entitled to any payment for such work or material unless it is performed or supplied by the listed DBE or by other forces (including those of Consultant) pursuant to prior written authorization of the LOCAL AGENCY’s Contract Administrator.
G. A DBE is only eligible to be counted toward the AGREEMENT goal if it performs a commercially useful function (CUF) on the AGREEMENT. CUF must be evaluated on an agreement by agreement basis. A DBE performs a Commercially Useful Function (CUF) when it is responsible for execution of the work of the AGREEMENT and is carrying out its responsibilities by actually performing, managing, and supervising the work involved. To perform a CUF, the DBE must also be responsible, with respect to materials and supplies used on the AGREEMENT, for negotiating price, determining quality and quantity, ordering the material and installing (where applicable), and paying for the material itself. To determine whether a DBE is performing a CUF, evaluate the amount of work subcontracted, industry practices, whether the amount the firm is to be paid under the AGREEMENT is commensurate with the work it is actually performing, and other relevant factors.
H. A DBE does not perform a CUF if its role is limited to that of an extra participant in a transaction, AGREEMENT, or project through which funds are passed in order to obtain the appearance of DBE participation. In determining whether a DBE is such an extra participant, examine similar transactions, particularly those in which DBEs do not participate.
I. If a DBE does not perform or exercise responsibility for at least thirty percent (30%) of the total cost of its AGREEMENT with its own work force, or the DBE subcontracts a greater portion of the work of the AGREEMENT than would be expected on the basis of normal industry practice for the type of work involved, it will be presumed that it is not performing a CUF.
J. CONSULTANT shall maintain records of materials purchased or supplied from all subcontracts entered into with certified DBEs. The records shall show the name and business address of each DBE or vendor and the total dollar amount actually paid each DBE or vendor, regardless of tier.
The records shall show the date of payment and the total dollar figure paid to all firms. DBE prime CONSULTANT’s shall also show the date of work performed by their own forces along with the corresponding dollar value of the work.
K. Upon completion of the AGREEMENT, a summary of these records shall be prepared and submitted on the form entitled, Exhibit 17-F: Final Report-Utilization of Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) First-Tier Subconsultants, certified correct by CONSULTANT or CONSULTANT’s authorized representative and shall be furnished to the Contract Administrator with the final invoice.
Failure to provide the summary of DBE payments with the final invoice will result in twenty-five MONTCLAIR CITY COUNCIL MEETING - 06/20/2022 Page 109 of 186

Agreement No. 22-67
percent (25%) of the dollar value of the invoice being withheld from payment until the form is submitted. The amount will be returned to CONSULTANT when a satisfactory “Final ReportUtilization of Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE), First-Tier Subconsultants” is submitted to the Contract Administrator.
L. If a DBE subconsultant is decertified during the life of the AGREEMENT, the decertified subconsultant shall notify CONSULTANT in writing with the date of decertification. If a subconsultant becomes a certified DBE during the life of the AGREEMENT, the subconsultant shall notify CONSULTANT in writing with the date of certification. Any changes should be reported to LOCAL AGENCY’s Contract Administrator within thirty (30) calendar days.
M. After submitting an invoice for reimbursement that includes a payment to a DBE, but no later than the 10
th of the following month, the prime contractor/consultant shall complete and email the Exhibit 9-F: Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Running Tally of Payments to:
[email protected] with a copy to the Agency.
N. Any subcontract entered into as a result of this AGREEMENT shall contain all of the provisions of this section.
