ITEM # 22

CITY OF MONTEBELLO

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Raul Alvarez, City Manager

BY: David Sosnowski, Director of Recreation and Community Services SUBJECT: APPROVE THE UTILIZATION OF GRANT FUNDS FROM GAMETIME

FOR PURCHASE OF A PLAYGROUND
DATE: November 12, 2025
RECOMMENDATIONS:

It is recommended that the City Council:

1. Approve the use of grant funding awarded to the City of Montebello by GameTime through the GameTime Playground Grant Program in the amount of $67,739; and

2. Approve a purchase order with GameTime for $186,802 for the installation of a new playground; and

3. Authorize the City Manager to execute all contracts for construction and installation of the new playground; and

4. Take such additional, related action that may be desirable.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The City of Montebello is being awarded $67,739 from the GameTime Playground Grant Program. The funding will be provided in the form of a discount off the purchase of a new playground. The City will be responsible for the remaining cost of $186,802. This includes the new playground equipment, demolition of the existing playground, installation, taxes, and freight. To cover the remaining cost, the City will be utilizing Measure A Annual Allocation Funds (Account No. 221-70-720-6040.10, Measure A, Parks and Recreation, Parks Maintenance, Other Contract Services). The Fiscal Year 2025-26 budget includes sufficient appropriations in this account, therefore no budget amendment is necessary.

The services required for the demolition and installation of the playground will be procured utilizing the exception allowed per Montebello Municipal Code, Section

Page 520 of 1646 ends

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF NOVEMBER 12, 2025

3.20.050(F) – Cooperative Purchase:

Section 3.20.050(F) – Purchases for goods and/or services that are identical or nearly identical in scope to the goods and/or services listed in any valid, current and competitively bid cooperative governmental purchase program.

GameTime will be using a contract through California Multiple Award Schedule (CMAS) Agreement 4-20-00-0092B (Attachment B) for the procurement of the playground demolition and installation.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

On October 17, 2025, the Recreation and Community Services Department applied for the GameTime Playground Grant Program on behalf of the City. The program provides 100% matching funds for eligible playground equipment. The application requested funding for the City Park North playground. This is the oldest playground in the City and is in need of replacement.

The City has been awarded the matching funds and has received a quote with the grant funding applied. The City will be responsible for a total cost of $186,802. This cost includes the playground equipment, demolition of the existing playground, playground installation, taxes, and freight. The playground equipment will be designed for children ages 5-12 and will feature inclusive playground design and sensory-rich activities that support the physical, social, and emotional development of children.

To cover the City’s portion of the cost, staff will be utilizing Measure A Annual Allocation funding. The City receives an allocation of funds from Los Angeles County’s Measure A Annual Allocation program each year. The City will utilize a total of $200,000 of Measure A Annual Allocation funding to cover all costs associated with the new playground. Additionally, funding will be used to create ADA accessible pathways leading to the playground area.

Gametime utilizes a cooperative purchasing contract through the California Multiple Award Schedule (CMAS) for the demolition and installation of the new playground. CMAS offers competitively bid contracts which meet or exceed local purchasing requirements for use by the public sector.

ENVIRONMENTAL:

The proposed project involves the replacement of existing playground equipment at Montebello City Park located at 1301 W. Whittier Blvd. and is funded in part by a grant award. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), this project qualifies for a Class 2 Categorical Exemption under Section 15302, which covers the replacement or reconstruction of existing structures and facilities where the new structure will be located on the same site and have substantially the same purpose and capacity as the existing one. The project will not result in significant environmental impacts beyond those already existing at the site, and it is consistent with the facility’s current use as a recreational area. Therefore, no further environmental review is required.

Once your order is received, it is sent to the
company headquarters in Fort Payne, Alabama.

You will receive a confirmation letter, confirming
your order and the projected delivery date. If you
have included installation in your order, an installer
will also contact you before the order ships to
confirm the details regarding
• site preparation requirements
• surfacing type and depth
• underground utility locations
• coordination with other trades
• accessibility to the site for delivery/installation.

Your order will ship via common carrier 24-45 days
after its acceptance into the GameTime system.

Depending on how far from Fort Payne, Alabama
you are located, the order should arrive in 3-10 days
after shipment.

AFTER YOU PLACE YOUR ORDER
What to expect in the schedule of events that take place after your order.

THE TIMELINE
Your freight carrier will contact you 24 hours in
advance of the delivery. You will need 2-4 people to
help you unload. Heavier items like the MegaRock®
might require additional helpers.

Your equipment will arrive in large consolidated
boxes. You may want to break them open on the
truck and unload piece by piece for easier handing.

Be sure to locate the box labeled “Installation
Instructions Inside” and set it aside.

You will also want to make sure you have a secure
location to store all your equipment until the
installation day. Your driver will give you a bill of
lading, documenting the number of boxes, as well
as a listing of component number of the parts that
you should have received. Before signing the receipt,
you’ll want to inventory the shipment and note any
missing items on the bill of lading before the driver
leaves.

SHIPPING INSTRUCTIONS
F.O.B. Destination (Free On Board) – Prepaid and Add Seller pays the freight charges.

State agencies shall follow the instructions below whenever the weight of the purchase is 100 lbs. or more and F.O.B. Destination, Freight Prepaid is not used. This requirement is not applicable to local government agencies.

All shipments will be made by ground transportation unless otherwise ordered on the purchase order.

Traffic Management Unit (TMU) approval is not required for any Leveraged Procurement Agreement negotiated by DGS; however, it is recommended that state agencies contact TMU for a freight weight comparison using the Freight Analysis Worksheet on the TMU website, under the “Forms” heading to ensure the state is getting the most reasonable shipping cost.

Note: If shipping charges for purchases weighing less than 100 lbs. appear to be excessive (e.g., $500 for a 5 lb. package where the shipping charge is a percentage of the cost of the item being purchased), departments are encouraged to contact TMU for help to obtain more appropriate pricing. TMU contact information can be found at the TMU website.

CANCELLATION AND/OR RESTOCKING FEE
Cancellation Fee: Once accepted, orders can be canceled only with the consent of GameTime, and on terms which will indemnify GameTime against loss. Canceled orders will be subject to a restocking fee. Equipment “built-to-order” is non-cancelable.

Restocking Fee: A restocking charge of up to 25% will be applied to all returned goods and 50% charge will be applied to all the UltaShade and UltraShelter products when the error is not the fault of UltraSite. All returns must be shipped freight prepaid.

PURCHASING AUTHORITY DOLLAR THRESHOLD
Order limits for the purchase of goods and/or services is determined by the individual agency purchasing authority threshold.

No CMAS order may be executed by a State agency that exceeds that agency’s purchasing authority threshold, unless an exemption is granted by the Department of General Services (DGS) Purchasing Authority Unit (PAU). State agencies with approved purchasing authority, along with their dollar thresholds can be obtained at the List of State Departments with Approved Purchasing Authority website.

October 4, 2023 Ordering Instructions and Special Provisions 7

HOW TO USE CMAS
State agencies must adhere to the requirements in the State Contracting Manual (SCM) Volume 2, Chapter 1600 and CMAS Ordering Instructions and Special Provisions when using CMAS.

Develop an RFO, which includes a Scope of Work (SOW) and Bidder Declaration form. For information on the Bidder Declaration requirements see SCM, Volume 2, Sections 305 and 1202.

Clearly defined Tasks (what needs to be done) and Deliverables (outcome of each task, i.e., reports, procedures manual, etc.) must be included in the State’s SOW.

A Work Order Authorization (WOA) may be used to document completion of pre-determined tasks, but only if the tasks are clearly defined in the SOW. The WOA may be used to approve release for the next phase of the agreement but cannot be used to identify any tasks other than the ones called out in the SOW. The WOA will be signed by all parties and may be submitted for progress payments under the award.

Projects can be performed on a Fixed Price Per Deliverable (FP/D). Fixed Price; FP/D: A defined service, or set of services, performed by Contractor in response to a defined task, or set of tasks, at a specific fixed price, and delivered per a specific contract. Note: When using FP/D the Statement of Work must describe in detail the particular project and the work that the selected Qualified Contractor will be required to perform.

For Consulting or Personal services, do not include any labor categories/job titles or number of hours limit in RFO Requirements or the SOW. The CMAS Contractor provides this information in their Attachment B Cost Worksheet. The State does not have the expertise to make this decision (GC 19130(b)).

Search for potential CMAS contractors on the CMAS website and select “Find a CMAS Contractor.”
Request offers from a minimum of 3 CMAS contractors including one small business (SB) and/or Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE), if available, who are authorized to sell the products and/or able to perform the services needed. (Government Code 14846(b)).

A valid attempt must be made to secure offers from viable CMAS contractors who are able to supply the goods and/or provide the services. Neither a lack of sufficient CMAS contractors nor the use of restrictive requirements meets the intent for obtaining offers (SCM Volume 2, Section 1670.2).

If requesting offers from a certified DVBE, include the Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise Declarations form (Standard 843) in the RFO. This declaration must be completed by the DVBE prime contractor and/or any DVBE subcontractors and submitted with the offer (SCM Volume 2, Section 1201).

This is not a bid transaction, so the small business preference, DVBE incentives, protest language, intent to award, evaluation criteria, advertising, Administrative and Technical Requirements, etc. are not applicable. (SCM Volume 2, Section 1603).

CALIFORNIA MULTIPLE AWARD SCHEDULE (CMAS)

GAMETIME
CMAS NUMBER 4-20-00-0092B, SUPPLEMENT NUMBER 2
October 4, 2023 Ordering Instructions and Special Provisions 8 If less than 3 offers are received, State agencies must document their file with the reasons why the other suppliers did not respond with an offer. The reason must come from the CMAS contractor.

Assess the offers received using best value criteria including cost as one of the criteria (SCM Volume 2, Section 1603).

Issue a Purchase Order to the selected CMAS contractor.

For CMAS transactions under $10,000, only one offer is required if the State agency can establish and document that the price is fair and reasonable. The fair and reasonable method can only be used for non-customizable purchases. See SCM Volume 2, Section 1510 for Fair and Reason criteria.

Local agencies must follow their own procurement regulations. For more information see the Local Agency packet available online.

AGENCY RESPONSIBILITY
Each agency is responsible for its own contracting program and purchasing decisions, including use of the CMAS program and associated outcomes. This responsibility includes, but is not limited to, ensuring the necessity of the services, securing appropriate funding, complying with laws and policies, preparing the purchase order in a manner that safeguards the State’s best interests, obtaining required approvals, and documenting compliance with GC 19130.b(3) for outsourcing services.

It is the responsibility of each agency to consult with their legal staff and contracting offices for advice depending upon the scope or complexity of the purchase order. If legal services are not available within your agency, DGS Office of Legal Services is available to provide services.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST
Agencies must evaluate the proposed purchase order to determine if there are any potential conflict of interest issues. See the CMAS Terms and Conditions, Conflict of Interest, for more information.

SPLITTING ORDERS
Splitting orders to avoid any monetary limitations is prohibited. Do not circumvent normal procurement methods by splitting purchases into a series of delegated purchase orders per PCC 10329. Splitting a project into small projects to avoid either fiscal or procedural controls is prohibited per State Administrative Manual (SAM) 4819.34.

This provision does not apply to local government agencies.

ORDERING PROCEDURES

1. Purchase Orders
All Ordering Agency purchase order documents executed under this CMAS must contain the applicable CMAS number as show on page 1.
a. State Departments:

Standard 65 Purchase Documents – State departments not transacting in FISCal must use the Purchasing Authority Purchase Order (Standard 65) for purchase execution. An electronic version of the Standard 65 is available at the Department of General Services (DGS), Procurement Division (PD) website, select Standard (STD) Forms.

FISCAL Purchase Documents – State departments transacting in FISCal will follow the FISCal procurement and contracting procedures.
b. Local Government Agencies:

Local government agencies may use their own purchase order document for purchase execution.

The agency is required to complete and distribute the purchase order. For services, the agency shall modify the information contained on the order to include the service period (start and end date), the monthly cost (or other intermittent cost), and any other information pertinent to the services. The cost for each line item must be included in the order, not just system totals.

The contractor must immediately reject purchase orders that are not accurate. Discrepancies are to be negotiated and incorporated into the purchase order prior to product delivery and service implementation.

2. Service and Delivery after CMAS Expiration
The purchase order must be issued before the CMAS expires. However, delivery of the products or completion of the services may be after the CMAS expires (unless otherwise specifically stated in the purchase order). Amending the purchase order to add quantity, time, or money is not possible if the CMAS expired.

3. Multiple CMAS Agreements on a Single Purchase Order
State agencies wishing to include multiple CMAS agreements on a single FISCal purchase order must adhere to the following guidelines:

All CMAS must be for the same CMAS contractor.

The purchase order must go to one contractor location.

Enter the word “CMAS” in the space reserved for the Leveraged Procurement Agreement (LPA) number. The word “CMAS” signifies that the purchase order contains items from multiple CMAS agreements. The purchasing agency may only use one bill code.

CALIFORNIA MULTIPLE AWARD SCHEDULE (CMAS)

GAMETIME
CMAS NUMBER 4-20-00-0092B, SUPPLEMENT NUMBER 2
October 4, 2023 Ordering Instructions and Special Provisions 10 For each individual CMAS, the agency must identify and group together the CMAS number with the line items and subtotal per CMAS number (do not include tax in the subtotal), and sequentially identify each individual CMAS as Sub #1, Sub #2, Sub #3, etc. This facilitates accurate billing of administrative fees by the Procurement Division.

The total of all items on the purchase order must not exceed the State agency’s purchasing authority dollar threshold granted by DGS PAU.

Do not combine items from IT and non-IT CMAS agreements. An Information Technology CMAS begins with the number “3” and a non-IT CMAS begins with the number “4.” The purchase order limits are different for these CMAS agreements.

4. Amendments to State Agency's Purchase Orders
Agency purchase orders cannot be amended if the CMAS has expired.

SCM, Volume 2, Section 1605 provides the following directions regarding amendments to all types of LPA purchase orders:

Original orders, which include options for changes (e.g., quantity or time), that were assessed and considered in the selection for award during the RFO process, may be amended consistent with the terms of the original order, provided that the original order allowed for amendments. If the original order did not evaluate options, then amendments are not allowed unless an Non-Competitively Bid is approved for those amendments.

Amendments unique to Non-IT Services:

If the original contract permitted amendments, but did not specify the changes, (e.g., quantity or time), it may be amended. Per PCC 10335 (d)(1), a contract may only be amended once under this exemption. The time shall not exceed one year, or add not more than 30 percent of the original order value and may not exceed $250,000. If the original contract did not have language permitting amendments, the Non-Competitively Bid process must be followed.

CMAS CONTRACTOR OWNERSHIP INFORMATION
The CMAS contractor is a large business enterprise.

SMALL BUSINESS MUST BE CONSIDERED
Prior to placing orders under the CMAS program, State agencies must first consider offers from small businesses that have established CMAS agreements (GC 14846(b)). NOTE: DGS auditors will request substantiation of compliance with this requirement when agency files are reviewed.

CMAS Small Business and Disabled Veteran Partners can be found on the CMAS website by selecting “Find a CMAS Contractor”.

In response to our commitment to increase participation by small businesses, the Department of General Services waives the administrative fee (charged to customer agencies to support the CMAS program) for orders to California certified small business enterprises.

SMALL BUSINESS/DVBE - TRACKING
State agencies are able to claim subcontracting dollars towards their SB or DVBE goals whenever the CMAS contractor subcontracts a commercially useful function to a certified SB or DVBE. The CMAS contractor will provide the ordering agency with the name of the SB or DVBE used and the dollar amount the ordering agency can apply towards its SB or DVBE goal.

SMALL BUSINESS/DVBE - SUBCONTRACTING

1. The amount an ordering agency can claim towards achieving its SB or DVBE goals is the dollar amount of the subcontract award made by the CMAS contractor to each SB or DVBE.

2. The CMAS contractor will provide an ordering agency with the following information at the time the order is quoted:
a. The CMAS contractor will state that, as the prime contractor, it shall be responsible for the overall execution of the fulfillment of the order.
b. The CMAS contractor will indicate to the ordering agency how the order meets the SB or DVBE goal, as follows:
i. List the name of each company that is certified by the Office of Small Business and DVBE Services that it intends to subcontract a commercially useful function to; and ii. Include the SB or DVBE certification number of each company listed and attach a copy of each certification; and
iii. Indicate the dollar amount of each subcontract with a SB or DVBE that may be claimed by the ordering agency towards the SB or DVBE goal; and iv. Indicate what commercially useful function the SB or DVBE subcontractor will be providing towards fulfillment of the order.

3. The ordering agency’s purchase order must be addressed to the prime contractor, and the purchase order must reference the information provided by the prime contractor as outlined above.

CONTRACTORS ACTING AS FISCAL AGENTS ARE PROHIBITED
When a subcontractor ultimately provides all of the products or performs all of the services that a CMAS contractor has agreed to provide, and the prime contractor only handles the invoicing of expenditures, then the prime contractor's role becomes that of a fiscal agent because it is merely administrative in nature and does not provide a Commercially Useful Function. It is unacceptable to use fiscal agents in this manner because the agency is paying unnecessary administrative costs.

October 4, 2023 Ordering Instructions and Special Provisions 12 WITHHOLD LANGUAGE (SB588)
Upon delivery or completion of ordered goods or services for which the Contractor committed to DVBE subcontractor participation, state departments must require the Contractor to certify all the following:

1. The amount and percentage of work the Contractor committed to provide to one or more DVBEs under the requirements of the contract and the amount each DVBE received from the Contractor.

2. That all payments under the contract have been made to the DVBE. Upon request, the Contractor must provide proof of payment for the work.

In accordance with the Military and Veterans Code 999.7, state departments shall withhold $10,000 from the final payment, or the full final payment if less than $10,000, if the Contractor fails to meet the certification requirements identified above. State departments shall notify the Contractor of their failure to meet the certification requirements and give the Contractor an opportunity to comply with the certification requirements. If after 30 calendar days from the date of notice, the Contractor refuses to comply with the certification requirements, the state department shall permanently deduct $10,000 from the final payment or the full payment if less than $10,000.

PRODUCT SUBSTITUTIONS
Substitution of Deliverables may not be tendered without advance written consent of the Buyer.

The Contractor must offer an equivalent or newer model of the product from the same manufacturer at the same or lower price. Contractor cannot use any specification in lieu of those contained in the Contract without written consent from the Buyer.

NEW EQUIPMENT REQUIRED
The State will procure new equipment. All equipment must be new (or warranted as newly manufactured) and the latest model in current production. Used, shopworn, demonstrator, prototype, or discontinued models are not acceptable.

Where Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) standards are available, all State agencies shall purchase only those products that meet the recommended standards. All products displaying the Energy Star label meet the FEMP standards.

SPECIAL MANUFACTURED GOODS
Any CMAS for goods to be manufactured by the CMAS contractor specifically for the State and not suitable for sale to others may require progress payments.

For a Non-IT goods CMAS, see the CMAS Non-IT Commodities Terms and Conditions, Provision 69, Progress Payments.

Agencies are required to adhere to SAM 3520 through 3520.6, Disposal of Personal Property and Surplus Personal Property, as applicable, when trade-ins are considered. A Property Survey Report, Standard 152, must be submitted for approval prior to disposition of any State owned personal property, including general office furniture regardless of the acquisition value, or if the property was recorded or capitalized for accounting purposes.

STATE AGENCY BUY RECYCLED CAMPAIGN
State ordering agencies are required to report purchases made within the eleven product categories in the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery’s State Agency Buy Recycled Campaign per PCC 12200 through 12217.

Contractor will be required to complete and return a Recycled-Content Certification form upon request by the state ordering agency.

PRODUCT INSTALLATION
The CMAS contractor is fully responsible for all installation services performed under the CMAS.

Product installations must be performed by manufacturer authorized personnel and meet manufacturer documented specifications.

The prime contractor, as well as any subcontractors, must hold any certifications and/or licenses required for the project.

PUBLIC WORKS (INSTALLATION SERVICES ONLY)
A public works contract is defined as an agreement for “the erection, construction, alteration, repair, or improvement of any public structure, building, road, or other public improvement of any kind” in accordance with PCC 1101. State agencies planning these types of projects need to review SCM, Volume 1, Chapters 10 and 11 for applicable guidelines and regulations. Visit the DGS, Real Estate Services Division (RESD) website if you have questions about public works transactions.

Local Agency CMAS purchase orders may allow for public works installation only when it is in support of the products covered by this CMAS.

Agencies are to ensure that the applicable laws and codes pertaining to the contractor and subcontractor licensing, prevailing wage rates, bonding, labor code requirements, etc. are adhered to by the prime contractor as well as any subcontractor during performance under the CMAS purchase order.

CMAS NUMBER 4-20-00-0092B, SUPPLEMENT NUMBER 2
October 4, 2023 Ordering Instructions and Special Provisions 14 NOTE: In accordance with Labor Code (LC) 1773.2, the ordering agency is responsible for determining the appropriate craft, classification or type of worker needed for any contract for public works. Also, the agency is to specify the applicable prevailing wage rates as determined by the Director of the Department of Industrial Relations (DIR). In lieu of specifying the prevailing wage rates, the agency may include a statement on the order that the prevailing wage rates are on file at the agency’s office and will be made available upon request. The prevailing wage rates are available from DIR at www.dir.ca.gov (select Statistics & Research).

Bonds: For guidelines, see CMAS, General Terms and Conditions, Public Works Requirements.

State Contractor’s License: Public works services can be obtained through CMAS only if incidental to the overall purchase order. If incidental public works services are included in the purchase order, prior to issuing the order agencies should visit the State Contractor’s License Board website to verify that the Contractor’s License shown below is still active and in good standing.

The CMAS contractor’s California Contractor's License number is 855664. This is a Class B - General Building and C-61 / D34 - Prefabricated Equipment license that is valid through 03/31/2025.

NOT SPECIFICALLY PRICED ITEMS
The only time that open market/incidental, non-contract items may be included in a CMAS order is when they fall under the parameters of the Not Specifically Priced (NSP) Items provision.

CMAS contractors must be authorized providers of the hardware, software and/or services they offer under the NSP Items provision.

Agency and CMAS contractor use of the NSP provision is subject to the following requirements:

1. Purchase orders containing only NSP items are prohibited.

2. A purchase order containing NSP items may be issued only if it results in the lowest overall alternative to the State.

3. NSP items shall be clearly identified in the order. Any product or service already specifically priced and included in the base contract may not be identified as an NSP item.

4. NSP Installation Services: The CMAS contractor is fully responsible for all installation services performed under the CMAS. Product installations must be performed by manufacturer authorized personnel and meet manufacturer documented specifications. The prime contractor, as well as any subcontractors, must hold any certifications and/or licenses required for the project. The total dollar value of all installation services included in the purchase order cannot exceed the dollar value of the products included in the purchase order, nor can they exceed the NSP Maximum Order Limitation.

5. Maximum Order Limitation: For orders $250,000, or less, the total dollar value of all NSP items included in a purchase order shall not exceed $5,000. For orders exceeding $250,000, and at the option of the contractor, the total dollar value of all NSP items in a purchase order shall not exceed 5% of the total cost of the order or $25,000 whichever is lower.

6. An NSP item included in an order issued against this CMAS is subject to all of the terms and conditions set forth in the CMAS.

7. Trade-ins, upgrades, involving the swapping of boards, are permissible, where the contract makes specific provisions for this action. In those instances, where it is permitted, the purchase order must include the replacement item and a notation that the purchase involves the swapping of a board.

The following NSP items are specifically excluded from any order issued under this CMAS:

1. Items not intended for use in direct support of the priced items included in the same order.

An NSP item must be subordinate to the specifically priced item that it is supporting. For example, a cable, which is not otherwise specifically priced in the base contract, is subordinate to a specifically priced printer and is eligible to be an NSP item subject to that cable meeting the remaining NSP requirements. However, a printer that is not otherwise specifically priced in the base contract, is not subordinate to a specifically priced cable and is not eligible to be an NSP item.

2. Supply type items, except for the minimum amount necessary to provide initial support to the priced items included in the same order.

3. Items that do not meet the Productive Use Requirements for information technology products, per Statewide Information Management Manual Section 195.

4. Any other item or class of items specifically excluded from the scope of this CMAS.

5. Public Works and other services NOT in support of the products covered by this CMAS.

6. Products or services the CMAS contractor is NOT factory authorized or otherwise certified or trained to provide.

7. Follow-on consultant services that were previously recommended or suggested by the same CMAS contractor.

The CMAS contractor is required to reject purchase orders containing NSP items that do not comply with the above requirements. The CMAS contractor will promptly notify the agency issuing the noncompliant order of its rejection and the reasons for its rejection.

STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS CAN USE CMAS
State and local government agency use of CMAS is optional. A local government is any city, county, city and county, district, or other local governmental body or corporation, including Universities of California, California State Universities, K-12 schools, and community colleges empowered to expend public funds. While the State makes this CMAS available, each local government agency should make its own determination whether the CMAS program is consistent with its procurement policies and regulations.

PCC 10298 allows any city, county, city and county, district, or other local governmental body or corporation empowered to expend public funds to contract with suppliers awarded CMAS without further competitive bidding. See complete PCC 10298 language at the California Legislative Information website.

PCC 10299 allows any school district empowered to expend public funds to utilize CMAS without further competitive bidding. See complete PCC 10299 language at the California Legislative Information website.

SELF-DELETING BASE CONTRACT TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Instructions or terms and conditions that appear in the Special Items or other provisions of the base contract and apply to the purchase, license, or rental (as applicable) of products or services by the US Government in the United States and/or to any overseas location shall be self-deleting. (Example: "Examinations of Records" provision).

Federal regulations and standards, such as Federal Acquisition Regulation, Federal Information Resources Management Regulation, Federal Information Processing Standards, General Services Administration Regulation, or Federal Installment Payment Agreement shall be self-deleting.

Federal blanket orders and small order procedures are not applicable.

ORDER OF PRECEDENCE
The CMAS Terms and Conditions take precedence if there is a conflict between the terms and conditions of the contractor's base contract, packaging, invoices, catalogs, brochures, technical data sheets, or other documents (see CMAS Terms and Conditions, CONFLICT OF TERMS).

APPLICABLE CODES, POLICIES AND GUIDELINES
All California codes, policies, and guidelines are applicable. The use of CMAS does not relieve state agencies of their responsibility to meet statewide requirements regarding contracting or the procurement of goods or services. Most procurement and contract codes, policies, and guidelines are incorporated into CMAS agreements; however, there is no guarantee that every requirement that pertains to all State processes has been included.

PAYMENTS AND INVOICES

1. Payment Terms
Payment terms for this CMAS are net 45 days.

Payment will be made in accordance with the provisions of the California Prompt Payment Act, GC 927. Unless expressly exempted by statute, the Act requires State agencies to pay properly submitted, undisputed invoices not more than 45 days after (1) the date of acceptance of goods or performance of services; or (2) receipt of an undisputed invoice, whichever is later.

2. Payee Data Record (Standard 204)
State Agencies must obtain a copy of the Payee Data Record (Standard 204) in order to process payments. State Ordering Agencies must forward a copy of the Standard 204 to their accounting offices. Without the Standard 204, payment may be unnecessarily delayed. State Agencies should contact the CMAS contractor for copies of the Payee Data Record.

3. DGS Administrative and Incentive Fees
Orders from State Agencies:

DGS will bill each State agency directly an administrative fee for use of CMAS. The administrative fee should NOT be included in the order total or remitted before an invoice is received from DGS. This administrative fee is waived for CMAS purchase orders issued to California certified small businesses.

Orders from Local Government Agencies:

CMAS contractors, who are not California certified small businesses, are required to remit to DGS an incentive fee equal to a percentage of the total of all local government agency orders (excluding sales tax and shipping) placed against their CMAS.

The incentive fee is waived for CMAS purchase orders issued to California certified small businesses.

For more information on the incentive fees see the CMAS Management Guide.

4. Contractor Invoices
Unless otherwise stipulated, the CMAS contractor must send their invoices to the agency address set forth in the purchase order. Invoices shall be submitted in triplicate and shall include the following:

Invoice total
State sales tax and/or use tax shall be itemized separately and added to each invoice as applicable.

The company name on the CMAS, purchase order and invoice must match, or the State Controller’s Office will not approve payment.

5. Advance Payments
Advance payment is allowed for services only under limited, narrowly defined circumstances, i.e., between specific departments and certain types of non-profit organizations, or when paying another government agency (GC 11256 through 11263 and 11019).

It is NOT acceptable to pay in advance, except software maintenance and license fees, which are considered a subscription and may be paid in advance if a provision addressing payment in advance is included in the purchase order.

Software warranty upgrades and extensions may also be paid for in advance, one time.

6. Credit Card
The CMAS contractor accepts the State of California credit card (VISA CAL-Card).

A purchase order is required even when the ordering department chooses to pay the CMAS contractor via the CAL-Card.

7. Leasing/Financing
California State Agencies should use the Golden State Financial Marketplace (GS SMart) program for all financing and leasing needs. California Local Government Agencies (counties, cities, K-12 school districts, community colleges, California State Universities, Universities of California, etc.) may utilize the GS SMart program for financing and leasing according to PCC 14937. The minimum dollar amount for Local Government Agency financing and leasing is $100,000.

8. Lease/Purchase Analysis
California State agencies must complete a Lease/Purchase Analysis (LPA) to determine best value when contemplating a lease/rental and retain a copy for future audit purposes (SAM 3710).

For short-term rental equipment, the lease/purchase analysis must be approved by DGS Office of Legal Services.

The lease/purchase analysis for all other purchases must be approved by the Department of General Services, GS SMart State Financial Marketplace. Buyers may contact the GS SMart Unit via e-mail at [email protected] for further information.

9. Leasing
The State reserves the right to select the form of payment for all procurements, whether it is an outright purchase with payment rendered directly by the State, or a financing/lease-purchase or operating lease via the State Financial Marketplace (GS SMart and/or Lease SMart). If payment is via the financial marketplace, the CMAS contractor will invoice the State and the State will approve the invoice. The selected Lender/Lessor for all product listed on the State’s procurement document will pay the supplier on behalf of the State. Buyers may contact the GS SMart Unit via e-mail at [email protected] for further information.

10. Maintenance Tax
The California Department of Tax and Fee Administration has ruled that in accordance with Section 1546 of the Sales and Use Tax Regulations of the Business Taxes Law Guide, whenever optional maintenance contracts include consumable supplies, such supplies are subject to sales tax.

Generally, the State has two options:

1. For agreements that provide for only maintenance services (i.e., the furnishing of labor and parts necessary to maintain equipment), the charges for the provision of maintenance services are not taxable.

2. For agreements that provide for both maintenance services and consumable supply items (e.g., toner, developer, staples), the provision of the consumable supplies is considered a taxable sale of tangible personal property. Therefore, State agencies awarding optional maintenance contracts are responsible for paying the applicable sales tax on the consumable supplies used during the performance period of the maintenance contract.

The Contractor will be required to itemize the taxable consumables for State accounting purposes.

OBTAINING COPY OF CMAS

The awarded agreement will be managed by the Recreation and Community Services Department and funded within the Park Maintenance Division, Transit Department, Golf Division and Grant Accounts. The breakdown of the agreement’s annual expenditures for the first year of the agreement will be as follows:

Amount
Account No. Description

Non-General Fund accounts will make up approximately 23% of the total contract amount. Future fiscal year budget requests will incorporate the new agreement amount.

The additional cost of $78,000 for January - June 2026 will be covered using the various other Non-General Fund accounts referenced above. The FY 2026-27 budget will incorporate the cost of the new agreement in all necessary accounts.

The evidence of insurance shall be U.S. mail or email to:

City of Montebello
Attn: Risk Manager
1600 West Beverly Boulevard
Montebello, CA 90640
Email: [email protected]
Coverage shall not be suspended, voided, cancelled, reduced in coverage or in limits, non-renewed, or materially changed for any reason, without thirty (30) days prior written notice thereof given by the insurer to the CITY by U.S. mail, or by personal delivery, except for nonpayment of premiums, in which case ten (10) days prior notice shall be provided.

The CONSULTANT shall provide proof that policies of insurance required herein expiring during the term of this Agreement have been renewed or replaced with other policies providing at least the same coverage.

At the option of the CITY, the CONSULTANT shall either reduce or eliminate the deductibles or self-insured retentions with respect to the CITY, or the CONSULTANT shall procure a bond guaranteeing payment of losses and expenses.

The CONSULTANT shall not subcontract, delegate, or assign its duties or rights hereunder, either in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of the CITY.

1600 West Beverly Boulevard
Montebello, CA 90640

performed to the highest standard, reducing costly
errors and avoiding disruptions. Active reporting keeps clients informed in real time, building transparency
and trust. Together, these practices create
accountability, strengthen client relationships, and
ensure that every project not only meets but exceeds
