In compliance with the Subletting and Subcontracting Fair Practices Act (Chapter 2, commencing at Section 4100, Division 5, Title 1 of the California Public Contract Code) and any amendments thereof, each bidder shall set forth below: (a) the name and location of the place of business of each subcontractor who will perform work or labor or render service to the prime contractor in or about the construction of the work or improvement to be performed under this contract in an amount in excess of one-half of one percent of the prime contractor's total bid, and (b) the portion of the work which will be done by each subcontractor under this act. The prime contractor shall list only one subcontractor for each such portion as is defined by the prime contractor in this bid.
If a prime contractor fails to specify a subcontractor or if a prime contractor specifies more than one subcontractor for the same portion of work to be performed under the contract in excess of one-half of one percent of the prime contractor's total bid, the prime contractor shall be deemed to have agreed that he/she is fully qualified and will perform that portion themselves.
No prime contractor whose bid is accepted shall (a) substitute any subcontractor, (b) permit any subcontract to be voluntarily assigned or transferred or allow it to be performed by anyone other than the original subcontractor listed in the original bid, or (c) subcontract any portion of the work in excess of one-half of one percent of the prime contractor's total bid as to which his/her original bid did not designate a subcontractor, except as authorized in the Subletting and Subcontracting Fair Practices Act. Subletting or subcontracting of any portion of the work in excess of one-half of one percent of the prime contractor's total bid as to which no subcontractor was designated in the original bid shall only be permitted in cases of public emergency or necessity, and then only after a finding reduced to writing as a public record of the authority awarding this contract setting forth the facts constituting the emergency or necessity.

A. Special precautions
1. Distance from edges: allow not more than 6 inches from the edges, particularly if it is the top edge of a slope. Edges tend to dry more easily than the center. Remember that at the bottom of a slope the distance from the edges may be larger. (see also plans).
2. Be aware of high points and siphoning: a potential problem with buried drip lines is siphoning dirt in when the system is switched off. For this reason:
A. Drip lines should have a fairly constant slope.
B. An vacuum relief valve should be provided at the highest point in each sector.
C. Drip lines should be connected at the ends to a common flush line with a flush valve.
3. Be aware of excessive level differences: level differences between drip lines belonging to the same valve should not exceed 6 to 8 feet.
4. Slopes: the steeper the slope, the better the horizontal movement of water in the soil. For this reason, concentrate the density of the drip lines towards the top of the slope. At the bottom of the long gentle slope, the distance of the last dripper line from the edge should be as noted on plans, as water moves down due to gravity.
5. Positioning of air/vacuum relief valves: ensure that these valves are at a point high enough to prevent the system from draining through these valves when the water pressure is switched off.
B. System installation guidelines
1. It is recommended that all areas to receive subsurface irrigation shall be first excavated to a level 5 inches below proposed level of finish grade.
2. Prepare the topsoil/backfill at adjacent location to planting area to get the best water saving results with the system. For new installations, it is recommended to follow the preparation procedures described above under "special precautions". Remember that excavation and grading should have been finished before installation of the subsurface drip system.
3. Be sure you have everything required for the installation before opening trenches. Do a dry runoff assembling without gluing the system parts on top of the ground first. Pre-assemble as many sets of components as practical above ground and in a convertible place. It is much easier to work above ground, so get as much work done as practical. Compression adapters should be glued to PVC tees/ells.
4. Always condition soil moisture the day before opening trenches or installing drip lines. Remember it is much easier to install the system in moist soil.
5. Install the system headfirst. Remote control valve, filters, pressure regulator and ball valve. Then install the PVC lateral lines.
6. Flush the lateral line outside the planter if practical. Connect to drip lines.
7. Distribute drip lines uniformly and as plans specify. Tubing stakes shall be installed on the tubing at the spacing of one per loop, or one every 10 linear feet. Contractor shall also mound small amounts of backfill over tubing at intervals to set tubing.
a. Select the tentative distance between drip lines. (say d inches) b. Measure the exact dimension of the area to be covered leaving 6 inches for the edges. (say l inches)
c. See how many spacings can actually be left. (l/d approximated to the nearest integer, say n)
d. Recalculate what the new revised distance between drip lines should be to divide the space evenly.
e. Stake where the beginning and flush end of each drip line will go.
8. Tubing installation: leave enough length at the beginning and end for connections. It is convenient to finish the last foot of the installation or trench by hand. This gives more room for connections. Beware of bending the drip tubing too tight during installation. Do not bend tubing below a 24- inch radius because the pipe may kink, reducing the flow. Use compression type elbows and fittings whenever required. Use large bucket for forming bends or for spacing lines as required to maintain uniform line spacing.
Install tubing stakes at fittings and a 5-foot maximum spacing along each tube, more as required on curving sections.
9. The systems shall be left open and tubing and emitters left uncovered for testing purposes by the Landscape Architect. After successful testing of systems, cover system with prepared backfill previously set aside. Cover tubing early in the morning when temperatures are low to avoid tubing stress.
10. Warning: drip line is temperature sensitive. The protective life of the system will be reduced if the drip line outside is exposed to the sun for a long period of time. Store the drip line in a cool shaded place until installed.
11. Pop-up drip pressure/indicator head shall be installed per the drawings. 801-6 MAINTENANCE AND PLANT ESTABLISHMENT.
This subsection of the Standard Specifications is hereby deleted and replaced with the following:
1. Maintain all planted areas on the continuous basis as they are completed during the progress of the Work and during the Plant Establishment Period (PEP).
2. Mowing of lawn areas shall be as specified in 801-4.8, “Lawn Planting”.
3. Any required pruning of plants shall be designated by the Engineer at the start of the PEP. Perform the pruning as part of the plant establishment Work.
4. After all planting and related Work has been completed in accordance with the Contract Documents, request a pre-maintenance inspection from the Engineer. All Punchlist items shall be completed prior to the start of the PEP.
5. After planting is completed, a field notification shall be issued to establish the effective beginning date of the PEP.
6. The PEP shall be as specified in the table below unless otherwise specified in the Contract Documents.
90 Calendar Days Permanently Irrigated Plants and Sod Installations 120 Calendar Days
Seed or Stolonized Lawn Areas
7. Unless otherwise specified, the Resident Engineer and Project Biologist will determine that the PEP has been successfully completed when the following conditions have been met:
a) Site is erosion free.
b) 100-percent container plant survival.
c) Zero-percent weed and invasive plant cover.
d) Best Management Practices (BMPs) are in good condition as determined by the Resident Engineer.
8. The PEP shall be extended by the Resident Engineer if additional planting is necessary to achieve the required success criteria above or if other corrective Work becomes necessary.
9. Dead, damaged, unhealthy, and otherwise unsatisfactory plant materials shall be replaced within 2 weeks from the Engineer’s notification.
10. Upon completion of the PEP, a final inspection shall be performed by the Engineer. If the PEP is satisfactorily completed ahead of other Work included in the Contract, the maintenance of planted areas shall be continued until all other Work has been completed.
11. Maintenance shall be performed weekly or as directed by the Engineer and shall include irrigation inspection and repair, Site cleanup, pruning of groundcover, shrubs, and trees, mowing, weed control, fertilization every 4 weeks in accordance with 801-
2.2.2, “Fertilizing and Conditioning Procedures”, pest and fungi control, plant replacement, and mulch replenishment.
12. The contractor is responsible for the scheduling of Work throughout the duration of the Contract. Early installation of landscape planting does not relieve the contractor of planting and irrigation maintenance responsibilities prior to the completion of construction and Final Acceptance by the City. Should the PEP lapse prior to Final Acceptance, the contractor shall maintain planting until completion and Final Acceptance.
The following subsection(s) are hereby added to Section 801-6 of the Standard Specifications 801-6.1 Warranty & Replacement.
1. Special warranty: All plant material 15-gallon size and larger shall be guaranteed to live and grow in a healthy condition during the Contract Period, Maintenance Period, and for a one (1) year period from the date of final acceptance.

3. Special warranty: All sod material shall be guaranteed to live and grow in vigorous, healthy condition for a minimum of (1) year from the date of final acceptance.
4. Replacement: All plants not healthy and in a vigorous growing condition as determined by the City shall be replaced immediately during construction, and the maintenance and warranty periods. Plants used for replacement shall be the same kind and size as specified in the plant legend as shown on the drawings. They shall be furnished, planted, and fertilized as originally specified at no cost to the City.

RECOMMENDATIONS:

1. Approve a new Petting Zoo Operator License Agreement with WRW Inc. (“Licensee”); and
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement on behalf of the City; and
3. Take such additional, related action that may be desirable.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Licensee shall pay an annual License Fee of Four Thousand Seven Hundred Forty Dollars ($4,740) in monthly installments for use of the space identified as the Petting Zoo Site at Grant Rea Park. The annual License Fee will increase by an amount equal to two percent (2%) of the License fee for the immediately preceding year. The annual increase will be applied in July of each year. For the proposed new agreement (Attachment A) the first two percent (2%) adjustment would occur in September, 2025.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
The Montebello Barnyard Zoo is a municipal zoo located on Grant Rea Park's grounds located at 600 Rea Drive in the City of Montebello. The Petting Zoo site is identified and delineated in the proposed agreement. The zoo provides educational services to the students and residents of the City of Montebello as well as neighboring communities.
Services include pony rides, a petting zoo, event areas, a playground, field trip visits, and a traveling zoo. The zoo has been operated and maintained for over thirty (30) years using a contractor, WRW, Inc. The most recent contract between the City and WRW was established in 2014. At that time, the City Council approved a contract that authorized WRW to use the designated area within Grant Rea Park at a rate of $350 per month. The

N/A
ANALYSIS:
Proposed Agreement No. 4217 provides exclusive rights to WRW, Inc. to operate and maintain the Petting Zoo at Grant Rea Park, 600 Rea Drive. The term of the agreement is a period of five (5) years, commencing on September 1, 2024, and expiring on August 31, 2029 with an option to extend by mutual agreement of the City and WRW, Inc. for up to one (1) additional five-year (5-year) term.
The annual License Fee of Four Thousand Seven Hundred Forty Dollars ($4,740), payable in monthly installments of Three Hundred Ninety-Five Dollars ($395) is scheduled to increase at a rate of two (2%) percent annually for the duration of the agreement - commencing on the first annual anniversary of the full execution of the agreement (Section 4.a of Agreement No. 4217).
The proposed agreement clarifies the boundaries of the petting zoo site, identifies and articulates the Licensee’s requirements for operation and maintenance standards, removes the requirement for the City to provide five (5) year’s notice to the Licensee to terminate the agreement and further standardizes conditions and terms to align with the City’s standards for license agreements.

SUMMARY:
The current agreement for Petting Zoo operating services at Grant Rea Park with WRW, Inc. is set to expire on August 31, 2024. The City Council will consider approval of a new Petting Zoo Operator License Agreement, attached hereto in substantial form, to WRW, Inc. for a period of five (5) years, commencing on September 1, 2024, and expiring on August 31, 2029 with an option to extend by mutual agreement of the City and WRW, Inc. for up to one (1) additional five-year (5-year) term, and authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement on behalf of the City.
