REQUIREMENTS AS TO NOTICE OF COMPLETION

A notice of completion must be filed for record WITHIN 10 DAYS after completion of the work of improvement (to be computed exclusive of the day of completion), as provided in Civil Code Section 3093.

The “owner” who must file for record a notice of completion of a building or other work of improvement means the owner (or his successor in- interest at the date the notice is filed) on whose behalf the work was done, though his ownership is less than the fee title.

For example, if A is the owner in fee, and B, lessee under a lease, causes a building to be constructed, then B, or whoever has succeeded to his interest at the date the notice is filed, must file the notice.

If the ownership is in two or more persons as joint tenants or tenants is common, the notice may be signed by any one of the co- owners (in fact, the foregoing form is designed for giving of the notice by only one cotenant), but the names and addresses of the other co-owners must be stated in paragraph 5 of the form.

In paragraphs 3, 5 and 6, the full address called for should include street number, city, county and state.

As to paragraphs 7 and 8, this form should be used only where the notice of completion covers the work of improvement as a whole. If the notice is to be given only of completion of a particular contract, where the work of improvement is made pursuant to two or more original contracts, then this form must be modified as follows: (1) Strike the words “A work of improvement” from paragraph 6 and insert a general statement of the kind of work done or materials furnished pursuant to such contract (e.g., “The foundations for the improvements”); (2) Insert the name of the contractor under the particular contract in paragraph 7.

In paragraph 8 of the notice, insert the name of the contractor for the work of improvement as a whole. No contractor’s name need be given if there is n o general contractor, e.g., on so-called “owner-builder jobs.”

In paragraph 9, insert the full, legal description, not merely a street address or tax description. Refer to deed or policy of title insurance. If the space provided for description is not sufficient, a rider may be attached.

In paragraph 10, show the street address, if any, assigned to the property by any competent public or governmental authority.

This standard form covers most usual problems in the field indicated. Before you sign, read it, fill in all blanks, and make changes proper to your transaction. Consult a lawyer if you doubt the form’s fitness for your purpose.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members

FROM: Raul Alvarez, City Manager

BY: Raul Alvarez, City Manager

SUBJECT: AWARD PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT NO. 4272 TO MR.

C'S TOWING, INC. TO PROVIDE POLICE TOWING SERVICES

DATE: January 8, 2025

RECOMMENDATIONS:

It is recommended that the City Council:

1. Award Professional Services Agreement No. 4272 for Police Towing Services to Mr. C’s Towing Inc. in accordance with Request for Proposals (RFP) No. 25-07; and

2. Authorize the City Manager to negotiate the final terms and execute the Professional Services Agreement on behalf of the City.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The rates to be charged by the vendor are included in Attachment A of Professional Services Agreement No. 4272. Funding for these services has been included in the Police Department’s Fiscal Year 2024-25 budget. Therefore, no budget amendment is needed as part of the agreement award actions.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

The Montebello Police Department routinely deals with situations that require the towing and storage (impound) of vehicles, including but not limited to; investigations, traffic collisions, traffic enforcement, parking violations, and safekeeping. In order to ensure an orderly storage of impounded vehicles, the City of Montebello is required to procure towing services with a reputable vendor that can meet the needs of the community.

On September 26, 2024, the City released Request for Proposals (RFP) No. 25-07 for

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF JANUARY 8, 2025

Police Towing and Vehicle Storage Services, with a deadline of October 28, 2024 to submit proposals. In total, four vendors submitted proposals by the aforementioned deadline.

Staff has evaluated the four proposals using the following criteria that was included in RFP No. 25-07:

• Thoroughness and understanding of the tasks to be completed • Background and experience
• Knowledge of the City of Montebello
• Experience of personnel assigned to the work
• Positive Reference Checks
• Work Samples
• Proposed fees for services

Based on the evaluation, below is final scoring for each proposal submitted:

Staff has reviewed the proposal submitted by Mr. C’s Towing Inc, and has determined the proposal meets or exceeds the services and standards desired by the City as outlined in RFP No. 25-07.

Specifically, Mr. C’s Towing Inc. is a local towing company with extensive experience in the region. Notably, Mr. C’s Towing Inc. has a storage facility within 12 miles of the City limits that is secure and environmentally safe with an operational spill plan. The impound lot is fully fenced (higher than 6 ft.), and secured, accessible by a solid metal electric gate for security. The property is equipped with exterior LED lighting as well as digital video monitoring/recording equipment (18 cameras in the yard, 4 in the office), with a recording capacity up to 45 days, for additional security. Additionally, the facility is staffed 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, 365 days every year so that any unauthorized entry or attempt to enter the premises can be immediately detected.

The impound lot is approximately 130,680 square feet, capable of holding 895 vehicles, with accessibility and ability to prevent damage to such vehicles. Also on the premises is an enclosed warehouse, approximately 20,000 square feet, within which is an enclosed,

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF JANUARY 8, 2025

locked evidence cage, the latter of which is capable of holding approximately 10 vehicles, ordered to be impounded by the Police Department for involvement in the commission of crimes or as evidence. Additional holding space, if needed, is available within the warehouse and will hold at least 30 cars/trucks.

There is designated parking on the property for law enforcement officers. The Facility can maintain an inventory of tires provided by the Police Department/City for police vehicles, which are available for changing by facility personnel.

Overall, staff believes Mr. C’s Towing Inc. fully meets the requirements of RFP No. 25-

07. For this reason, staff recommends the agreement for towing services be awarded to Mr. C’s Towing Inc. for a term of three (3) years with an option for two, (1) one-year extensions.
