1. MEETING MINUTES – Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve the minutes of the Regular Adjourned Planning Commission Meeting of September 23, 2026.

Planning Commission Action: Approved.

PUBLIC HEARING

2. ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT (ZTA) NO. 2026-03
A City-initiated request to add Sections 17.03.400 through 17.03.470 under new Article V - Objective Design Standards to Title 17 (“Zoning”) of the Norwalk Municipal Code to implement Housing Element Program 3.3 by establishing objective design standards for attached multifamily and townhome residential developments.

Environmental: The project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines §15061(b)(3) (Common Sense Exemption), in that it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the proposed objective design standards will have a significant effect on the environment. The multi-family residential densities will not be changed, building heights will not be increased, and the objective design standard amendments will not result in any environmental impacts. Future development projects subject to the proposed ordinance would be reviewed for potential environmental impacts.

SUBJECT: CONTRACT AMENDMENT NO. 6 – TERM EXTENSION ADVANCED

RESERVATION DIAL-A-RIDE / SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES
Background:

On February 17, 2026, City Council approved Contract No. 5 with Transdev North America, Inc. (DBA First Transit, Inc.), to extend their contract term through December 31, 2026 for Advanced Reservation Dial-A-Ride (DAR) and Subscription Services for Norwalk Transit System (NTS). NTS subsequently released a Request for Proposal (RFP) 27-879 on September 17, 2026, to solicit these services once the current contract period ends.

Due to the complexity of the RFP Scope of Services, there is a need to provide potential bidders a longer procurement and on-boarding process for a seamless transition period if the incumbent contractor is not selected. NTS does not anticipate awarding a new contract prior to the current expiration date of December 31, 2026.

Therefore, NTS is requesting an additional term extension with First Transit, Inc. for the period of January 1, 2027, through June 30, 2027, to ensure continuity of Advanced Reservation DialA-Ride and Subscription Services during the procurement and transition process. First Transit, Inc. has agreed to maintain its current pricing through June 30, 2027.

Fiscal Impact:

The cost for the additional six months of the contract totals $603,421, which is included in the Fiscal Year 2026/27 Transportation Department adopted budget. There is no impact to the general fund.

Gabriel Salazar, Senior Planner
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF TRACT MAP NO. 85156, FOR CONDOMINIUM SUBDIVISION LOCATED AT 12722 WOODS AVENUE, ENGINEER’S REPORT NO. 26-39 Background:

On April 22, 2026, the Norwalk Planning Commission approved Tentative Tract Map No. 85156 for a condominium subdivision at 12722 Woods Avenue (Assessor Parcel Number 8048-012- 014 and 8048-011-035), filed by ADC Norwalk 3, LLC. The development consists of 61 threestory townhomes on an approximate 2.52-acre site.

The final tract map has been reviewed and found to be technically correct, and in conformance with the approved tentative map and applicable state laws. An easement for access and utility purposes as designated on the map are dedicated.

To comply with requirements of Norwalk Municipal Code (NMC) §16.03.160, any required public improvements that have not been constructed at the time of approval of the final map shall be guaranteed by execution of a suitable agreement in a form approved by the City Attorney. As the required public improvements such as new utility connections and reconstruction of sidewalk/curb and gutter have not yet been reconstructed, it is recommended that approval of this map be contingent on the execution of such an agreement to ensure funding for their installation.

Additionally, park land dedication fees must be collected for this project pursuant to NMC §16.03.090. The City Council may accept a park land dedication or a payment may be made in lieu thereof, or a combination of both. In this case, the developer will pay the in-lieu fee. The fee is based on a formula involving the assessed value of the property, the average value per square City Council October 20, 2026
Tract Map No. 85156 – 12722 Woods Avenue Page No. 2
foot, multi-family unit number and dedication per unit. The dedication amount shall be consistent with the formula described in NMC §16.03.090.

The Los Angeles County Assessor’s parcel size information was used for the calculation of the parkland dedication fee. The total lot size for both parcels is 109,540 square feet (approximately

2.52 acres). APN 8048-012-014 totals approximately 51,300 square feet in area and APN 8048- 011-035 totals approximately 58,240 square feet.

Based on the current assessed fair market value, the City’s calculation of the Parkland Dedication Fees is listed as follows:

Fair Market Value Per Square Feet (PSF): $58.20/PSF
Multiplied by: Parkland Dedication Requirement: 133.73 Square Feet per Dwelling Unit Multiplied by: Number of Dwelling Units: 61 dwelling units Total: $474,769
In summary, the City will accept a parkland in lieu fee payment in the amount of $474,769 based on the calculation and payable to the City of Norwalk after the Final Map has been approved by the City.

The Project will also be subject to the Art in Public Places Program requirement pursuant to NMC §15.44.030 which may be in the form of artwork or an in-lieu payment contribution. The AIPP requirement equates to one percent of the building total valuation.

Fiscal Impact:

The Parkland Dedication in Lieu Fee payment is in the amount of $474,769.

Citizens Advised:

N/A
Strategic Plan 2023 Implementation:

The recommended action will further the City’s Strategic Plan Goal 3 to create and sustain a resilient and economically prosperous City.

Recommended Action:

Staff recommend City Council approve Tract Map No. 85156, conditioned on the execution of the improvement guarantee required by Norwalk Municipal Code §16.03.160, and accept the dedications offered on the map.

MANAGEMENT, AND INSPECTION SERVICES FOR TRANSPORTATION /

PUBLIC SERVICES FACILITY PHASE III IMPROVEMENTS
Background:

On February 20, 2024, City Council approved an Agreement with PSOMAS for Project Management, Construction Management, and Inspection Services for the Tenant Improvements at the Transportation/Public Services Facility, Project No. 7865. PSOMAS was retained to provide these services effective February 21, 2024 through February 28, 2025. Due to the fact that these Tenant Improvements constituted a Public Works Project the acquisition for construction services contractor and finalizing Architectural and Engineering (A&E) services necessitated extending the Commencement date for those services to February 25, 2025.

Also, the project has experienced several unforeseen conditions during construction, including discovery of roof drains that were not connected to the storm drain system, existing mold, a vent pipe that was not identified in the as-built drawings, and additional water intrusion impacting the new locker room addition.

As a result, PSOMAS has been required to provide additional construction management and inspection services to maintain effective oversight, address issues as they arise, and support the completion of the remaining construction activities. The extended construction schedule has increased the level and duration of services required beyond the original Agreement term and project budget.

City Council October 20, 2026
PSOMAS Contract Amendment No. 4 Page No. 2
Fiscal Impact:

Norwalk Transit System is requesting to amend the Agreement with PSOMAS for additional compensation.

SUBJECT: PROJECT NO. 7859 – AWARD OF CONTRACT – CONSTRUCTION SERVICES

FOR BUILDINGS DEMOLITION LOCATED AT NORWALK TRANSIT VILLAGE, 13200 BLOOMFIELD AVENUE / RESOLUTION NO. 26-62 BUDGET
AMENDMENT, ENGINEER'S REPORT NO. 26-17
Background:

On November 19, 2024, City Council adopted the Norwalk Transit Village Specific Plan, certified the Final Environmental Impact Report, approved the Mitigation and Monitoring and Reporting Program (“MMRP”), and adopted a Statement of Overriding Considerations in connection with the NTV through City Council Resolution No. 24-58 (SCH No. 2022070103). The Norwalk Transit Village (“NTV”) Specific Plan envisions opportunities for new economic development within the former Southern California Youth Correctional Reception Center and Clinic 30+ acre site located at 13200 Bloomfield Avenue (“Subject Site”).

On December 3, 2024, City Council adopted Resolution No. 24-61 approving the Purchase and Sales Agreement (“PSA”) by and between the State of California (“State”) and the City of Norwalk (“City”) for the Subject Site.

On December 17, 2024, City Council adopted Resolution No. 24-62 declaring the Subject Site exempt surplus land pursuant to Government Code §§54221(F)(1) and approving a Disposition and Development Agreement (“DDA”), by and between the City and Lewis Land Developers, LLC (“Developer”).

On April 15, 2025, City Council adopted Development Agreement (“DA”) by and between the City and the Developer. The DA is intended to coordinate and facilitate the successful and timely completion of the public and private improvements identified in the NTV Specific Plan. The City City Council October 20, 2026
Project No. 7859 – Award of Contract and
Adopt Resolution No. 26-62
Page No. 2
Council also determined that DA No. 2025-0001 was within the scope of the Final Environmental Impact Report (“FEIR”) prepared for the Norwalk Transit Village Specific Plan Project and that no further environmental review was required.

On July 24, 2025, the City closed escrow for the Subject Site. Pursuant to the DDA, the City is responsible for demolishing and clearing the existing structures and preparing the site prior to turnover to the Developer. Because the demolition includes abatement and remediation activities, completion of the overall site preparation is anticipated to occur by mid-2027.

Following completion of the demolition, abatement, and remediation activities, the prepared site will be turned over to the Developer, who will commence site improvement activities pursuant to the DA and in accordance with the NTV Specific Plan.

On February 6, 2026, City staff solicited construction bids for the building demolition at Subject Site. The scope of work includes demolition of all existing buildings, structures, foundations, paved surfaces and hardscapes, chain-link fencing, underground utility piping, irrigation lines, and conduits.

On February 20, 2026, a mandatory pre-bid meeting was held to ensure prospective bidders had an opportunity to review the project scope, assess existing site conditions, and understand the contract requirements. On February 23, 2026, the City also conducted a non-mandatory site meeting to provide prospective bidders access to previously locked buildings and allow them to further evaluate existing interior conditions.

On March 19, 2026, the City received nine bids, which were publicly opened. Seven bids were found to be non-responsive. Due to the size and complexity of the Subject Site, as well as limited historical information available regarding the property while it was under State control, the City developed a bid evaluation methodology designed to address potential unforeseen conditions during construction. The bid schedule included thirty (30) base bid items comprising the Contract Amount, thirty-three (33) unit price items, and a daily overhead rate. This methodology allows the City to evaluate not only the lowest base bid, but also the potential costs associated with additional work and extended project duration resulting from unforeseen conditions encountered during demolition, abatement, and remediation activities. The responsive bids are presented below:

Staff conducted a comprehensive bid analysis, including verification of each bidder’s State contractor’s license, Department of Industrial Relations registration, State and federal debarment status, and references. Based on this review, staff recommend awarding the contract to City Council October 20, 2026

Page No. 3
Precision Environmental, the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.

Following the issuance of the Notice to Proceed, the project is anticipated to commence in late October 2026 and continue through mid-2027.

The City originally intended to award of the demolition contract at the City Council meeting of May 7, 2026. However, staff subsequently continued the item due to ongoing coordination with the California Department of Toxic Substances Control (“DTSC”) regarding appropriate measures and requirements to be incorporated into the Soil Management Plan. Staff has since received sufficient feedback and direction from DTSC to provide the necessary framework for the demolition contractor to proceed with the demolition, abatement, and remediation activities.

This coordination will allow the contractor to proceed with the Project while maintaining compliance with applicable regulatory requirements and site-specific environmental conditions.

On June 2, 2026, the City received a formal protest from Resource Environmental Inc., the second lowest apparent bidder, alleging procedural and analytical deficiencies in the City’s public bidding and procurement process. This bid protest is included as Attachment 1. City staff and the City Attorney’s Office reviewed the issues raised in the protest and determined that the allegations are without merit. Following a thorough review of the maters identified in the protest, staff maintain its recommendation that City Council award the contract to Precision Environmental. The City’s response to the bid protest is included as Attachment 2 and is incorporated as part of the record. Precision Environmental, as the apparent low bidder, has also submitted a response addressing the allegations raised by Resource Environmental in its bid protest, as is Precision Environmental’s right. Precision Environmental’s response is included as Attachment 3 and is incorporated as part of the record.

Fiscal Impact:

The following is an estimated cost breakdown of the total project costs:

Construction Cost: $ 2,639,950
Contingency (25%): $ 659,988
Subtotal: $ 3,299,938
Administration (5%): $ 164,997
Total Estimated Cost: $ 3,464,935
There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund. A budget amendment is necessary to appropriate available Low-and Moderate-Income Asset Bond Proceeds in the amount of $1,386,000 and Former Redevelopment Agency Non-Housing Bond Proceeds in the amount of $2,079,000 is needed for the construction services associated with the Project.

Pursuant to the DDA, the Developer will be responsible for the payment of all third-party costs associated with the demolition and remediation activities at the Subject Site. The Developer will also be responsible for providing evidence of the site cleanup satisfactory to the City, the Developer, and applicable State regulatory agencies.

Following completion of the demolition, abatement and remediation activities, and satisfaction of the applicable site cleanup requirements, the City anticipates completing such activities and transfer of the prepared site to the Developer in mid-2027.

Environmental Assessment:

The proposed City Council action to award the demolition contract for Project No. 7859, including the associated abatement, demolition, and remediation activities at the Subject Site was evaluated as part of the FEIR. Applicable mitigation measures were incorporated into the City Council adopted MMRP. As such, no further CEQA review is required at this time.

RE: BID PROTEST — Buildings Demolition Located at California Youth Authority Transit Village, 13200 Bloomfield Avenue, Norwalk, CA 90650; IFB No. 26-846 / City Project No. 7859 Dear Mr. Gomez:

Resource Environmental Services, LLC (“Resource”) submits this formal protest against the bid of Precision Works, Inc. dba Precision Environmental (“Precision”) for the above-captioned project. Precision’s apparent low bid of $3,114,300 is materially nonresponsive due to multiple independent violations of the Public Contract Code, the Subletting and Subcontracting Fair Practices Act (PCC § 4100 et seq.), the Labor Code, the Health and Safety Code, and the City’s own Invitation for Bids (“IFB”). These defects are not waivable under controlling California case law because they affect material bid elements, prevent equal bid comparison, allow post-bid subcontractor allocation or clarification, interfere with the IFB’s self-performance requirement, and preserve clerical-mistake and bid-relief arguments under PCC § 5103 that would allow Precision to accept the award if convenient or seek relief if the defects become unfavorable. California law does not permit a public entity to waive defects that create that kind of unfair competitive advantage. Under Norwalk Municipal Code Chapter 3.17 and PCC § 20162, the only lawful disposition on this record is to reject Precision’s bid as nonresponsive, find Precision nonresponsible, and award the Contract to Resource as the next lowest responsive and responsible bidder.

URGENT — ACTION REQUESTED BEFORE JUNE 2, 2026 COUNCIL MEETING. Resource has just become aware that the City of Norwalk has placed the proposed award of this Contract to Precision on the City Council’s agenda for the regular meeting of June 2, 2026. Resource has not previously been afforded an opportunity to be heard on the multiple, dispositive defects identified below. A Council vote awarding the Contract to Precision before this protest is resolved would convert a curable procurement issue into an executed public works contract subject to invalidation, with the cost-recovery consequences identified in Section X. Resource respectfully requests that the City Manager, City Attorney, and City Council treat this letter as a timely protest filed before any final Council action on the proposed award; that the proposed Precision award item be pulled or deferred from the June 2, 2026 agenda pending written resolution of this protest; and that no resolution awarding the Contract to Precision be adopted until the matters set out in this letter have been heard on the record.

I. SUMMARY OF GOVERNING LAW
California Public Contract Code requires a public agency to award a public works contract “to the lowest responsible bidder.” (PCC § 20162.) The lowest-responsible-bidder rule is a strict statutory mandate that admits of no “relative superiority” basis for award to anyone other than the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. (City of InglewoodL.A. County Civic Center Authority v. Superior Court (1972) 7 Cal.3d 861, 867-868.) Norwalk Municipal Code Chapter

3.17 implements the same local mandate. NMC § 3.17.030(C)(4) provides that “The City Council shall award the bid to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, or reject all bids pursuant to Public Contract Code Section 22038, or its successor statute.” The same subsection adds that “[t]he City Council may waive any irregularities or informalities in any bid or bidding” — a waiver power that, as discussed below, does not reach material defects.

A bid is responsive if it promises to do what the bidding instructions require, while a bidder is responsible if it can in fact perform the contract as promised. (Taylor Bus Service, Inc. v. San Diego Bd. of Education (1987) 195 Cal.App.3d 1331, 1341; MCM Construction, Inc. v. City and County of San Francisco (1998) 66 Cal.App.4th 359, 368.) Responsiveness is decided on the four corners of the bid as submitted, not by post-bid investigation or explanation. (Great West Contractors, Inc. v. Irvine Unified School Dist. (2010) 187 Cal.App.4th 1425, 1454.) A bid that deviates materially from the bidding requirements must be rejected as nonresponsive. (Valley Crest Landscape, Inc. v. City Council (1996) 41 Cal.App.4th 1432, 1438.) The test for materiality is whether the defect “affect[s] the amount of the bid or give[s] a bidder an advantage or benefit not allowed other bidders.” (Ghilotti Construction Co. v. City of Richmond (1996) 45 Cal.App.4th 897, 904.) Competitive bidding statutes exist “to eliminate favoritism, fraud and corruption; avoid misuse of public funds; and stimulate advantageous marketplace competition.” (Domar Electric, Inc. v. City of Los Angeles (1994) 9 Cal.4th 161, 173.) To give those policies effect, bidding requirements must be strictly construed and applied. (Konica Business Machines U.S.A. v. Regents of University of California (1988) 206 Cal.App.3d 449, 456.)
The Subletting and Subcontracting Fair Practices Act exists to prevent bid shopping and bid peddling and to protect both the public and listed subcontractors from post-bid manipulation. (Southern California Acoustics Co. v. C.V.

Holder, Inc. (1969) 71 Cal.2d 719, 726-727.) It requires the prime to list each subcontractor performing more than one-half of one percent of bid, with name, location, CSLB license number, DIR registration, and the portion of work each will perform, and to list only one subcontractor for each portion. (PCC § 4104(a)-(b).) Where the prime fails to specify a subcontractor for a portion of work, or specifies more than one subcontractor for the same portion, the prime is deemed to have agreed that it is fully qualified to perform that portion and shall perform it itself. (PCC § 4106; R.J. Land & Associates Construction Co. v. Kiewit-Shea (1999) 69 Cal.App.4th 416, 420-421.) The Act allows only two narrow cure paths: (i) under PCC § 4104(a)(2), an “inadvertent error” in a listed subcontractor’s CSLB license number or DIR registration number may be corrected within 24 hours after bid opening if the corrected number corresponds to the listed name and location; and (ii) under PCC § 4107.5, an inadvertent clerical error in subcontractor designation may be cured if the prime gives written notice within two working days of bid opening.

Bids in this matter were opened on March 9, 2026. The 24-hour window expired on March 10, 2026; the twoworking-day window expired shortly after. Precision invoked neither. The Court of Appeal applied the listing law strictly in DeSilva Gates Construction, LP v. Department of Transportation (2015) 242 Cal.App.4th 1409, 1424-1427, holding that a defective subcontractor designation on a Caltrans bid could not be cured after bid opening and that the agency’s attempt to waive the irregularity was an abuse of discretion.

Labor Code §§ 1725.5 and 1771.1 separately bar a public agency from listing any subcontractor on a public works bid unless that subcontractor is currently registered with DIR. The IFB at page 4 expressly incorporates this rule.

Hazardous waste transportation is restricted by Health and Safety Code § 25163 to transporters registered with the Department of Toxic Substances Control. The unifying principle is fairness to all bidders. Every bidder competed for this Contract under the same rules. Every bidder bore the same risk that material defects in its bid would result in nonresponsiveness. Treating Precision differently than the City has historically treated other bidders, including bidders on this very project, is precisely the favoritism the competitive bidding statutes were enacted to prevent.

II. THE DEFECTS BELOW ARE NONWAIVABLE UNDER VALLEY CREST AND PCC § 5103 Although the City may waive minor irregularities or informalities under NMC § 3.17.030(C)(4), California law does not permit waiver of material bid defects. A defect is material where it affects price, scope, bidder obligations, subcontractor listings, self-performance obligations, or gives a bidder a benefit or option not available to other bidders. Under Valley Crest, Ghilotti, Menefee v. County of Fresno (1985) 163 Cal.App.3d 1175, 1182, and M.F.

Kemper Construction Co. v. City of Los Angeles (1951) 37 Cal.2d 696, 700-703, a defect is nonwaivable where it affects a material bid element or gives the bidder a post-bid opportunity to claim clerical mistake under § 5103, withdraw without forfeiting its bid bond, seek bid relief, or reshape its bid after opening. Under Bay Cities Paving, R.J. Land, Southern California Acoustics, and DeSilva Gates (each discussed above and below), subcontractor listing defects that allow post-bid allocation, correction, substitution, or manipulation are not mere informalities and cannot be waived. Precision’s defects meet these standards several times over.

The unifying test below is therefore not whether the IFB declares a particular defect nonresponsive, but whether the defect (i) violates a mandatory statutory or IFB term and is therefore material on its face, (ii) leaves Precision with a post-bid option to claim mistake under § 5103 and back out, or (iii) requires post-bid allocation or clarification of a material bid element. If any of these is true, the defect is material and nonwaivable. The City’s waiver power under NMC § 3.17.030(C)(4) reaches “irregularities or informalities” only — it does not authorize the City to waive material defects or to retroactively expand the narrow statutory cure windows in PCC §§ 4104(a)(2) and 4107.5, both of which expired in March 2026 without Precision invoking them.

III. JDK DEMO/GRADING — DEFECTIVE PORTION-OF-WORK DESIGNATION AND THE SUB-VS-SELF-PERFORM CONFLICT (PCC §§ 4104, 4106)
Precision’s Subcontractor Designation Form lists JDK Demo (“JDK”) at 30% of Total Bid for “Demo/Grading.” The defect is not merely that Precision used a broad trade label. The defect is that Precision’s trade description, percentage, bid schedule, and 50% self-performance commitment cannot be reconciled without allowing Precision to decide after bid opening which portions of Demo/Grading belong to JDK and which portions Precision claims to self-perform. That post-bid allocation is a material advantage and is not waivable under controlling California case law. Precision cannot list JDK as the subcontractor for Demo/Grading and then use undefined portions of the same Demo/Grading scope as Precision self-performance to satisfy the 50% requirement. A prime either lists a subcontractor for a defined portion or self-performs that portion. It cannot reserve the same undefined portion for both. (See Bay Cities Paving, supra, 56 Cal.App.3d at 365-366; R.J. Land, supra, 69 Cal.App.4th at p. 420.) Resource Environmental Services, LLC
13100 Alondra Blvd, Suite 108, Cerritos, CA 90703

CA CSLB #864417 | CA DIR Registration #1000003121 | Laborers Local 300 AZ ROC #337736 | NV SCB #0090223
The numbers make the conflict concrete. Precision’s Total Bid is $3,114,300. The IFB Subcontractor Designation Form requires the Contractor to perform with its own organization at least 50% of the Total Bid. That floor is $1,557,150 — not 50% of the $2,639,950 lump-sum base bid, because the Form’s “Total Bid” baseline includes Schedule 1 lump sum items, Schedule 2 unit price items, and Schedule 3 extended overhead. Every bidder, including Resource, was required to allocate scope and self-performance to that Total Bid floor at bid opening. Precision should not get a special rule that lets it list JDK for “Demo/Grading,” keep JDK at 30%, and then count the unallocated demolition shortfall as Precision self-performance because that happens to satisfy the 50% test.

The demolition, removal, and grading scope JDK is identified to perform totals approximately $1,387,450 in Precision’s own pricing: Item 13 (fencing removal) $32,500; Item 14 (remove all buildings) $812,000; Item 15 (remove structures, sheds, annexes) $57,000; Item 16 (remove above-ground utilities and structures) $85,000; Item 17 (remove foundations, paving, hardscape) $25,000; Item 18 (crush and grind concrete, asphalt, brick) $105,000; and Items 22-30 (retaining walls, underground utilities, irrigation, trees, vegetation, rough grading) $270,950. JDK is listed at 30% of Total Bid, approximately $934,290. The demolition-and-grading scope exceeds JDK’s listed allocation by approximately $453,160. That $453,160 gap is not just arithmetic. It is the defect. Precision cannot use that gap as a flexible post-bid bucket to decide what JDK performs and what Precision supposedly self-performs.

Each post-bid theory Precision might offer to explain the conflict is independently disqualifying. If Precision says the unallocated demolition was intended to be self-performed, then Precision’s bid did not properly identify JDK’s “portion of work” under § 4104 — JDK’s actual portion was always smaller than 30%, and the bid form materially overstated JDK’s scope. If Precision says JDK’s 30% should be clarified upward after bid opening, that is a material post-bid correction of a § 4104 listing element, outside the now-expired § 4107.5 cure window. If Precision says JDK’s 30% was a clerical mistake, that is the § 5103 clerical-error theory that triggers the Valley Crest escape route.

There is no scenario in which Precision can both keep JDK listed at 30% for “Demo/Grading” and lawfully count an undefined portion of the same scope as Precision self-performance.

The bid’s 50% self-performance commitment does not, properly understood, satisfy the IFB. The Form facially appears satisfied only because Precision is counting unallocated demolition work that its own bid structure shows was intended to be performed by JDK, not identified as Precision self-performed work. Strip that scope out, and Precision falls below the 50% floor. Leave it in, and Precision is making a self-perform commitment its own bid structure does not support. Either result is a material bid-element problem Precision can resolve after bid opening in whichever direction is most favorable to Precision. That is the post-bid optionality Valley Crest forbids.

IV. DUPLICATE “TRANSPORTER” DESIGNATIONS — ECTI AND LOS MORALES (PCC §§ 4104, 4106) Precision listed two subcontractors for the identical, undifferentiated portion of work labeled “Transporter”: ECTI Environmental Contractors Transportation Inc. (“ECTI”) at 1.5%, and Los Morales Trucking (“Los Morales”) at 2%.

The form contains no scope distinction between them. The bid does not say which transporter handles which waste stream, which hauling scope, or which schedule items. This is not just a paperwork problem; it is a post-bid allocation problem. The only way to determine which transporter does what is to allow Precision to decide after bid opening, and that is exactly what § 4104 forbids. The defect does not depend on whether Precision is DTSC-registered. The defect is the duplicate, undifferentiated listing itself, and the post-bid allocation it requires. In Bay Cities Paving, supra, 56 Cal.App.3d at 365-366, the prime listed itself and a subcontractor on the same line for the same scope and the Court of Appeal held that designating two entities for the same work without apportionment frustrates the purpose of the listing law and violates the Act. The same principle bars listing two subs for the same undifferentiated portion: the Subletting Act requires one subcontractor per portion or self-performance — not both, and not two with no apportionment.

Each post-bid theory Precision might offer to explain the duplicate listing is independently disqualifying. If Precision later says ECTI was intended for regulated waste and Los Morales was intended for ordinary hauling (or vice versa), that is a post-bid explanation of a material § 4104 listing element — outside the now-expired § 4107.5 cure window. If Precision says one of the two listings was a clerical error, that is the § 5103 clerical-error theory triggering the Valley Crest escape route. Either way, the City cannot allow Precision to fix or allocate transporter scopes after bid opening.

Section 4106 compounds the defect. Where two subcontractors are listed for the same undifferentiated portion, the listings are improperly specified, and the prime is statutorily deemed to self-perform that scope. Precision’s bid affirmatively represented that the hauling would be performed by listed subcontractors. The bid contains no fleet inventory, no equipment list, and no operator roster supporting Precision’s capacity to self-perform high-volume regulated hauling on this project. The City cannot reconcile the two positions post-bid without either (a) requiring Precision to self-perform hauling its bid did not propose to self-perform, or (b) allowing Precision to allocate or substitute among hauling subs post-bid — the very post-bid sub allocation § 4104 was enacted to prevent. (Cal-Air Conditioning, Inc. v. Auburn Union School Dist. (1993) 21 Cal.App.4th 655, 668.) V. UNIT #33 WORDS-VERSUS-FIGURES DISCREPANCY (PCC § 5103) Unit #33 of the Bid Sheets (Schedule 2) is for “Abatement / Remove Haz-Mat Underground Storage Tank (UST), including all necessary relevant work, permits, notices and processing through DTSC, LA County Fire, LA County Environmental Programs Division, and other required Agencies.” Precision filled in Unit #33 as “$5,000” in figures but “FIVE DOLLARS” in words. The IFB provides at B-22 (Discrepancies in Bids) that “[i]n case of discrepancies in the amount of bid words shall govern over figures.” Applying the IFB’s words-govern rule to Unit #33 (priced for 2 units in the evaluated Total Sum Bid) reduces Schedule 2 by $9,990. The corrected Total Bid is $3,104,310. Precision is still the apparent low bidder.

The bid order is not the point. The defect is that Precision submitted two irreconcilable prices for the same item, and the B-22 “words govern” rule is a mandatory rule the City is bound to apply as written. (Pozar v. Department of Transportation (1983) 145 Cal.App.3d 269, 271-273.) Whichever way the City reads Unit #33, Precision retains a unilateral post-bid option that no other bidder enjoys: a clerical-mistake or bid-relief argument under § 5103 the moment the item becomes commercially unfavorable, and that is the post-bid optionality Valley Crest forbids.

The $5-per-unit reading is commercially impossible. No contractor performs DTSC-supervised UST abatement, LA County Fire coordination, LA County Environmental Programs Division processing, and related agency work for $5 per tank. The $5,000 figure may also be materially understated for the required UST work, but the more important point is that Precision submitted two irreconcilable prices for the same item. If Precision intended $5,000, then “FIVE DOLLARS” is a bid-filling mistake. If Precision intended “FIVE DOLLARS,” then the Total Sum Bid is wrong. Either way, Precision preserved a clerical-mistake and bid-relief argument under § 5103, which is the post-bid optionality Valley Crest forbids. Any attempt by Precision to escape Unit #33 via § 5103 must also satisfy strict procedural compliance. (A & A Electric, Inc. v. City of King (1976) 54 Cal.App.3d 457, 461-462.) The bid therefore does not, on its face, promise to do what the Bid Documents require, and this is also a responsibility problem under Section X: JDK, the listed demolition and earthwork subcontractor that would actually operate the excavator on a UST pull, carries CSLB license #1048561 with C-12 and C-21 classifications, which do not show the Class A General Engineering or Hazardous Substance Removal (HAZ) certification required for that work. (Ghilotti, supra, 45 Cal.App.4th at p. 904; Taylor Bus, supra, 195 Cal.App.3d at pp. 1341-1342.)
VI. ECTI LISTED OVER THE LISTING THRESHOLD WITHOUT DIR REGISTRATION (PCC § 4104; LABOR CODE §§ 1725.5, 1771.1)
ECTI is listed by Precision at 1.5% of Total Bid, above the one-half of one percent threshold that triggers § 4104. The DIR Contractor Registration Number field for ECTI on Precision’s Designation Form reads “N/A.” Responsiveness is decided on the four corners of the bid as submitted (Great West, supra, 187 Cal.App.4th at p. 1454), and Precision’s bid affirmatively states “N/A” rather than supplying a DIR number. The IFB at page 4 expressly incorporates the statutory bar at Labor Code §§ 1725.5 and 1771.1: “no contractor or subcontractor shall be qualified to bid on, be listed in a bid proposal subject to the requirements of Section 4104 of the Public Contract Code, or engage in the performance of any contract for public work, unless currently registered and qualified to perform public work pursuant to Section 1725.5.”
Precision plainly understood the DIR registration column was substantive: it supplied DIR numbers for the other subs it listed on the form (JDK, Fenceworks, BMP, TRE Lighting & Electric, BC Traffic Specialist, and Los Morales Trucking) and affirmatively entered “N/A” for ECTI rather than leaving the field blank. The 24-hour cure window under PCC § 4104(a)(2) for an “inadvertent error” in a listed DIR number ran on March 10, 2026 without Precision invoking it. “N/A” is not on its face an “inadvertent error” within the meaning of the statute. If “N/A” was accurate, Precision listed a statutorily ineligible subcontractor over the listing threshold. If “N/A” was a clerical mistake, then Precision faces both a § 4104(a)(2) post-bid cure problem (expired) and a § 5103 clerical-error theory that triggers the Valley Crest escape route. Either path is independently disqualifying.

VII. REGULATED HAZARDOUS WASTE HAULING — § 4106 SELF-PERFORM DEFAULT AND CAPACITY GAP The project carries substantial regulated hazardous waste streams. Precision’s own bid prices them at Items 10 (Universal Waste Removal and Hauling Plan), 12 (Pre-Demolition Haz-Mat Abatement, including AQMD Procedure 5), and 19-21 (Hazardous Soil remedial excavation at the Former Automotive Repair Area, Grounds Storage Building, and Former UST Location, each requiring DTSC processing) — together approximately $927,000, plus Unit #33 and the Hazardous Materials unit-price items under Schedule 2.

Because Precision listed two subcontractors for the same undifferentiated transporter scope (Section IV), § 4106 deems Precision to self-perform that hauling. Precision’s bid does not show the equipment to self-perform regulated hauling at this scale: no high-side end-dump trucks for bulk demolition haul-off, no DTSC-manifested bin or vacuum units for the three hazardous-soil hot spots, and no separately permitted UST transport for tank cradles and contaminated residuals. The arithmetic is also off: at 3.5% of $3,114,300 (combined ECTI + Los Morales) the listed transporter scope is approximately $108,950, materially below the cost of regulated-waste manifesting, transport, and tipping fees alone for this site, before any structural demolition haul-off. JDK, which would be doing the excavation work that feeds the haul-off, carries C-12 and C-21 classifications that do not show the Class A General Engineering or Hazardous Substance Removal (HAZ) certification required for hazardous substance excavation work.

The capacity gap is both a § 4104/§ 4106 listing problem and a responsibility problem under Section X.

VIII. DEFECTIVE REFERENCES FORM — REQUIRED BID DOCUMENT (IFB B-1, B-19) The IFB requires bidders to submit a completed References Form listing public agency projects in excess of $500,000 the bidder is currently working on or has worked on in the past three years (IFB at B-25), and the Checklist for Bidders at B-1 lists the References Form as a mandatory bid submittal item. Whether the References Form defect is material — and therefore nonresponsive under Valley Crest and Ghilotti — turns on whether the form was a gatekeeping evaluation tool the City used to compare bidders, and on whether Precision’s submission deprived the City of the information the form was designed to elicit. The answer to both is yes.

Precision’s References Form does not identify a single discrete public agency project. Instead, it lists generic blanket entries such as “Abatement, Restoration, and Demolition Services / Various awarded jobs,” paired with on-call style agency relationships such as the County of San Bernardino and the Ventura County Office of Education / Hueneme Elementary School District. The Project Name fields do not identify project numbers, sites, task orders, individual scopes, contract amounts, or final values. The form does not allow the City to compare Precision’s actual publicagency project experience against the IFB threshold or against other bidders’ submissions. The problem is not formatting. It is that Precision did not give the City the project-specific public agency experience information the form requested.

CA CSLB #864417 | CA DIR Registration #1000003121 | Laborers Local 300 AZ ROC #337736 | NV SCB #0090223
Precision compounds the problem by listing Wawanesa Insurance — a private property and casualty insurance company — as a “project” reference. Wawanesa is not a public agency. Listing a private insurer to populate a form that, by its own terms, requires “public agency projects” is a facial failure to comply with the bid requirement. The City cannot allow Precision to supplement its References Form post-bid to identify qualifying public agency projects it should have listed at bid opening: that would permit Precision to cure a required bid document after seeing the competitive results. By contrast, Resource’s References Form identifies specific public-agency public-works projects above the threshold, with project names, contracting agencies, contract amounts, and contacts, allowing direct comparison. The same defect supports both nonresponsiveness (the bid did not satisfy a required submission) and nonresponsibility (the bid did not show the experience the form was designed to surface) — and Section X relies on both.

IX. SIGNING-AUTHORITY CONFLICT — CALIFORNIA SECRETARY OF STATE FILING The Checklist for Bidders at IFB B-1 requires “Evidence satisfactory to the City indicating the capacity of the person(s) signing the Bid to bind the Bidder.” Precision’s bid was signed by Jonathan Clark in the capacity of “CFO.” In support, Precision attached an Incumbency Certificate dated on or about March 4, 2026, executed by Robert Ruiz as “Sole Shareholder/Owner & CEO” of Precision Works, Inc., reciting that “Jonathan Clark currently serves as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer (CFO).”
That recital is squarely contradicted by Precision’s own most recent publicly filed corporate document. Precision Works, Inc.’s California Secretary of State Statement of Information filed on February 5, 2025 (File No.

BA20250263921; Entity No. 1342945) identifies the corporation’s three officers as Robert Ruiz (Chief Executive Officer), Jehremy Michael Foster (Secretary), and Salvatore Anthony Scarpato (Chief Financial Officer). Jonathan Clark is not listed as CFO. He is not listed as Secretary. He is not listed as a Director. He does not appear in the “Additional Officers” section (which is marked “None Entered”). (See Exhibit E.) Resource does not contend the Incumbency Certificate is automatically invalid. The point is narrower: the City cannot ignore the authority conflict in a required bid submission, and the City cannot allow post-bid supplementation of authority documentation to cure that conflict without giving Precision yet another post-bid cure opportunity not afforded to other bidders. Either Robert Ruiz attested to inaccurate officer information when he signed the Statement of Information in February 2025, or Robert Ruiz attested to inaccurate officer information when he signed the Incumbency Certificate in March 2026. The City cannot rely on the latter to override the former without resolving the conflict on the record.

X. RESPONSIBILITY — INDEPENDENT HARD BAR TO AWARD
Norwalk Municipal Code Chapter 3.17 commits the City Council to award only to the “lowest responsive and responsible bidder, or reject all bids.” A responsible bidder is one that can perform the contract as promised. (Taylor Bus, supra, 195 Cal.App.3d at p. 1341.) Even if any of the foregoing defects could survive the responsiveness analysis — and none can — Precision cannot survive the responsibility analysis on the same record.

Precision’s own bid creates the responsibility concerns. Precision listed JDK for “Demo/Grading” because Precision is not self-performing demolition; the listing is the admission. Precision listed two transporter subs for the same scope because Precision was not self-performing hauling either. The defects identified in Sections III, IV, VI, and VII then force Precision into a self-performance position its bid affirmatively disclaimed: § 4106’s self-perform default deems Precision to self-perform the unallocated demolition shortfall (~$453,160), the duplicate-listed transporter scope, and any other portion not properly identified to a single sub. The City must therefore ask whether Precision actually has the experience, equipment, licensing structure, manpower, and project history to perform that work itself.

Precision’s References Form, as set out in Section VIII, does not show comparable self-performed experience. The references do not identify a single discrete public-agency project of full-site heavy demolition, hazardous-soil remediation, regulated hauling, underground utility removal, crushing and grinding, and grading. Heavy structural demolition of multi-building, multi-acre sites with regulated hazardous-soil hot spots, DTSC oversight, LA County Fire permitting, and crushing-and-grinding operations is not an extension of asbestos abatement and restoration work; it is a different trade with different equipment, license coverage, and project track record. Precision’s bid does not show that track record on its face. Resource is unaware of any project of comparable scope and complexity that Precision has self-performed for a public agency in California within the three-year IFB look-back window, or for that matter at any point. The City cannot use post-bid responsibility evidence to retroactively cure facial § 4104 listing defects, but the absence of comparable self-performed experience is itself an independent ground for finding Precision nonresponsible.

The Inglewood Civic Center rule is clear that the City has no “relative superiority” basis to award to a nonresponsive or nonresponsible bidder regardless of price. (Inglewood Civic Center, supra, 7 Cal.3d at pp. 867-868; Williams Construction v. Clovis Unified School Dist. (2007) 146 Cal.App.4th 757, 766.) Awarding the Contract on this record may also expose the City and Precision to avoidable post-execution invalidation and cost-recovery disputes. The cleaner course is to reject Precision’s bid now, before any contract is executed.

XI. PREJUDICE TO RESOURCE, STANDING, AND THE PENDING COUNCIL ACTION Resource has standing to pursue this protest and is directly prejudiced by the prospect of an award to Precision. As the next lowest responsive and responsible bidder, Resource is the bidder to whom NMC Chapter 3.17 and PCC § 20162 require award if Precision’s bid is rejected. California courts have long recognized the standing of the secondlowest bidder to challenge a proposed award to a nonresponsive low bidder, both to vindicate the competitive bidding statutes and to protect the second-lowest bidder’s own statutory expectation of award. (Inglewood Civic Center, supra, 7 Cal.3d at pp. 867-870.) Resource has expended significant pre-bid pursuit cost, tendered a fully responsive bid, and is the party whose legitimate expectation under the City’s own award rule is displaced if the City permits Precision to keep an award it cannot lawfully hold.

The proposed award is not yet final. The City Council retains discretion under NMC Chapter 3.17 and PCC § 20162 to pull the item, reject Precision’s bid, and award to Resource. The decision before Council on June 2 is therefore a discretionary act, not the ratification of an existing contract. Adopting a resolution awarding the Contract to Precision before this protest is heard would foreclose the procedural protections the competitive bidding statutes were enacted to provide and would expose the City and Precision to the post-execution invalidation consequences set out in Section X, including the cost-recovery bar under PCC § 5110.

The fairness point is also a practical point. Resource understands that, on this same procurement, multiple other bidders were found nonresponsive. Those bidders were not allowed to cure or explain away their bid defects after bid opening. Precision should not receive a different standard. If the City rejected other bidders for defects that were the same as, less serious than, or arguably comparable to Precision’s defects, the City cannot lawfully waive Precision’s multiple material statutory and bid-form defects without creating the appearance of favoritism and unequal treatment. Competitive bidding laws exist “to eliminate favoritism, fraud and corruption; avoid misuse of public funds; and stimulate advantageous marketplace competition.” (Domar Electric, supra, 9 Cal.4th at p. 173.) Applying a stricter standard to other bidders while waiving Precision’s defects would create exactly the appearance of favoritism those laws are intended to prevent. The City should therefore apply the same standard to Precision that it applied to the other rejected bidders.

XII. REQUESTED RELIEF
For the reasons set out above, Resource respectfully requests that the City of Norwalk:

1. Defer or pull the proposed Precision award item from the June 2, 2026 City Council agenda (and from any subsequent agenda) pending written resolution of this protest, so that the responsiveness and responsibility questions identified above are heard on the record before any final Council action;

2. Reject Precision’s bid as nonresponsive for the violations of PCC §§ 4104 and 4106 (Sections III and IV), the Unit #33 words/figures discrepancy (Section V), the missing ECTI DIR registration (Section VI), the regulated-hauling listing defect (Section VII), the defective References Form (Section VIII), and the signing-authority conflict (Section IX), each of which is independently sufficient;

3. Find Precision nonresponsible for the reasons set out in Section X; and

4. Award the Contract to Resource as the next lowest responsive and responsible bidder, as NMC Chapter 3.17 and PCC § 20162 require.

The City should not reject all bids and rebid the project. The bids opened on March 9, 2026 are now public record.

Every bidder, including Precision, has seen Resource’s pricing, Precision’s pricing, and the line-item structure of every other bid. Rebidding the project under those conditions would hand every bidder — most importantly Precision — exactly the kind of second-look advantage Valley Crest and Menefee forbid: the ability to recalibrate after seeing the competition’s numbers, with no offsetting penalty. (Valley Crest, supra, 41 Cal.App.4th at p. 1442 [“two bites at the apple”]; Menefee, supra, 163 Cal.App.3d at p. 1182.) Rebidding would also penalize Resource for having submitted a responsive bid the first time. The lawful course on this record is to reject Precision’s bid as nonresponsive (and nonresponsible) and award to Resource, not to scrap the procurement and restart it.

Resource will appear at the June 2, 2026 City Council meeting this evening to be heard on this protest and to ensure the Council has the dispositive defects identified above squarely before it before any award is considered. Resource respectfully asks that no award be made to Precision pending resolution of this protest, and is prepared to address any questions the City Manager, City Attorney, or City Council may have on the record this evening or in writing.

FORMAL RESPONSE TO BID
PROTEST - IFB No. 26-846 / City
Project No. 7859
City of Norwalk
Attn: Alex Hamilton, Deputy City Manager
12700 Norwalk Blvd Norwalk, CA 90650
Subject: Formal Response to Bid Protest – Precision Works, Inc. dba Precision Environmental PROJECT: Buildings Demolition Located at California Youth Authority Transit Village, 13200 Bloomfield Avenue, Norwalk, CA 90650; IFB No. 26-846 / City Project No. 7859
Dear Mr. Hamilton and City of Norwalk Purchasing Division:

Precision Works, Inc. dba Precision Environmental ("Precision Works") respectfully submits this formal response to the bid protest filed by Resource Environmental, Inc. ("REI") dated June 2, 2026 (received June 6, 2026).

Preliminary Matter: Consistent with applicable bid protest procedures, Precision Works respectfully requests that the City first determine whether REI's protest and supporting materials fully comply with all procedural requirements. This should be considered alongside the substantive issues below.

Precision Works fully complied with all requirements of the bidding process. This includes attendance at the mandatory pre-bid site visit, timely submission of all required forms and documentation, provision of the required bid bond, and accurate listing of subcontractors per the solicitation.

Prior to bid submission, Precision Works and its listed subcontractors thoroughly reviewed the bid documents, plans, specifications, and project requirements. Our bid was submitted in good faith and in strict accordance with the Instructions to Bidders, Contract Documents, and all applicable laws.

REI's protest is based largely on mistaken assumptions and speculative, hypothetical scenarios regarding post-bid modifications or allocations. Those assumptions are incorrect. Precision Works is not seeking to modify its bid, substitute subcontractors, revise pricing or scopes, claim self-performance in lieu of listed work, or cure any alleged defect. We stand firmly by our bid exactly as submitted and are fully prepared to perform the Project in accordance with the bid documents, subcontractor listings, and all statutory requirements.

Note on REI's Pattern: The City should be aware that REI has a practice of filing detailed but ultimately meritless bid protests against Precision Works and other low bidders on public demolition projects, often relying on hypothetical issues and strained interpretations of subcontractor listing and self-performance rules. Most recently, on the City of Commerce's Deconstruction of Commerce Refuse-to-Energy Facility (CREA) project (IFB 2026-BID1005), REI filed a similar protest on May 12, 2026. After review, City of Commerce staff (with City Attorney concurrence) and the City Council rejected REI's protest in full, determined Precision Works to be the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, and awarded the contract to Precision Works via Resolution No. 26-__ (June 23, 2026). REI's arguments here mirror those rejected in Commerce and should receive the same disposition. Accordingly, Precision Works maintains that its bid is both responsive and responsible and fully satisfies all requirements for contract award.

DIR# 1000046051 - CSLB No. 480595
DOSH #1082 - SPCB PR7589 - NAT-21238-3
I. Precision Works' Bid is Fully Responsive
A. 50% Self-Performance Requirement (ITB § 33 & Form)
Precision Works fully complies. Our subcontractor listing form identifies subcontractors totaling approximately $1,276,863 (41.4% of the Total Bid). The remaining balance of approximately $1,837,437 (58.6%) will be self-performed with our own forces.

This self-performed work is fully authorized under our active CSLB licenses, including Class B (General Building) and C-21 (Building Moving and Demolition). The C-21 license specifically authorizes demolition, removal of structures, grading, and related work—precisely the scope required here. Our active DIR registration further supports lawful performance. The ITB does not require a line-by-line breakdown of self-performed work beyond the subcontractor listing. REI’s speculation regarding our capabilities and licensing is without merit.

B. Subcontractor Listing – JDK Demo (Pub. Contract Code §§ 4100–4114) On the subcontractor listing form, JDK Demo, Inc. is clearly listed for a defined and limited portion of the work:
“demolition, underground demolition and grading” at the specified amount/percentage, as permitted by the bid form. The balance of the demolition and deconstruction scope is properly reserved for self-performance under our C-21 license.

There is no overlap, ambiguity, or post-bid flexibility. The listing satisfies all requirements because JDK’s portion was clearly defined at bid opening. No bid shopping, improper substitution, or other violations of the Subletting and Subcontracting Fair Practices Act are occurring or intended.

Precision Works properly identified JDK Demo as the subcontractor for the designated portion of demolition and grading work to be subcontracted. The subcontractor designation does not represent that JDK will perform every demolition- or grading-related activity. Nor does it prohibit Precision Works from self-performing other work within those general trades using its own qualified workforce. Nothing in the bid documents required Precision Works to allocate every individual bid item exclusively between subcontracted and self-performed work at bid opening.

REI’s contention that Precision may later choose which work JDK performs (creating a “squeeze” or post-bid allocation) is entirely speculative and unsupported by the bid documents or law. Precision Works is not seeking to alter its subcontractor designation, increase or decrease JDK’s listed participation, substitute subcontractors, or modify its bid after opening. Our bid, as submitted, clearly identifies the subcontracted portion and demonstrates compliance with all applicable requirements.

C. Clerical Issues (Line Item 33 and ECTI DIR Registration) REI mischaracterizes minor, non-material clerical matters as defects.

The discrepancy in Line Item 33 was an obvious typographical error ($5.00 instead of $5,000.00). The bid documents expressly provide that, in the event of a discrepancy between words and figures, the amount written in words governs.

This is a classic minor irregularity waivable under Norwalk Municipal Code § 3.17.030(C)(4) and does not affect responsiveness or provide any competitive advantage.

DIR# 1000046051 - CSLB No. 480595
DOSH #1082 - SPCB PR7589 - NAT-21238-3
The “N/A” entry for ECTI’s DIR number was an inadvertent clerical oversight. ECTI was properly registered with DIR at the time of bid submission, and its role is limited to transportation/hauling (not core construction work requiring listing under the threshold). Precision Works listed another qualified transportation subcontractor with full DIR details, confirming intent to comply. This does not violate Labor Code §§ 1725.5 or 1771.1 or render the bid nonresponsive.

These are not material variances affecting price, scope, or fairness. They do not trigger post-bid optionality under PCC § 5103 in a manner that advantages Precision Works.

II. Precision Works is a Responsible Bidder
Precision Works possesses the experience, equipment, personnel, financial capacity, bonding capacity, and licensing to successfully complete the Project. Founded in 1982, Precision Works has a long and successful history of performing comparable demolition, environmental remediation, and abatement projects for public agencies throughout California.

REI’s allegations regarding experience disclosure misread the solicitation, which required disclosure of public agency projects in excess of $500,000 that we are currently working on or have worked on in the past three years. We complied fully. We welcome any responsibility review or hearing and are prepared to provide detailed project references, safety records, financial statements, bonding documentation, and evidence of successful performance on similar work.

III. Conclusion
Precision Works submitted a clear, responsive, and highly competitive bid that fully complies with the Instructions to Bidders, Contract Documents, California law, and Norwalk Municipal Code.

The legal authorities cited by REI address situations involving material post-bid modifications or unfair advantages. Those authorities have no application here, as Precision Works has neither requested nor contemplated any such actions. The City’s evaluation must be based on the bid actually submitted—not on REI’s hypothetical scenarios.

For these reasons, Precision Works respectfully requests that the City reject REI’s protest, confirm Precision Works as the lowest responsive and responsible bidder (or, at minimum, properly evaluate all lower bids before considering REI), and proceed with contract award. We remain ready to execute the contract and furnish all required bonds and documentation immediately upon notice of award.

Rita Ruiz, Director of Public Safety
Amber Bulosan, Management Analyst
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION NO. 26-63 - BUDGET AMENDMENT FOR AUTHORIZATION TO

ACQUIRE AND EQUIP A VERSATILE PUBLIC SAFETY VAN
Background:

Since the 1990s, the City has demonstrated a commitment to neighborhood policing through the deployment of mobile law enforcement centers. In 2002, the Department of Public Safety purchased a recreational vehicle (“RV”) to deploy at Neighborhood and Business Watch meetings to increase a public safety and community engagement throughout the City,. Though useful, the RV’s maintenance and difficulty in maneuverability has created the need for a vehicle that would provide efficiency and accessibility for Public Safety personnel, law enforcement and the community. Deployment of the RV is limited due to its size and parking limitations. Currently, the RV is unable to be navigated in certain parts of the City, specifically areas that are narrow and impacted with limited street parking, like the one-ways. Because of its large size, the RV requires a spotter to follow behind to ensure safe driving and maneuvering.

Additionally, after inspection by the City’s fleet maintenance division, a determination was made that there are significant issues with the RV, parts are no longer readily available, and it is not cost-effective to continue to attempt to maintain the RV. The recommendation is that the RV needs to be replaced.

Therefore, Public Safety is proposing the investment of a Sprinter Cargo Van. The Public Safety van will be equipped with internal workspaces, secure storage, and upgraded technology. A dedicated, clearly marked, Public Safety van will provide efficient transport of equipment, establish a visible point of contact, and coordinate operations throughout the City. Specialized teams, like CSP, HOPE, and the Office of Emergency Management will then utilize the vehicle as a mobile command center that is mission ready for immediate on-scene coordination, City Council October 20, 2026

authorized operations and special events. It would provide the capability to engage with the community, respond to coordinated quality of life issues and crime through a modernized approach with advanced technology, and rapid deployment capabilities will further the City’s commitment to neighborhood policing.

Logistically, using a Sprinter Cargo van allows for feasible mobility in all parts of the City; A smaller van will allow access to these areas. Staff will be able to park the van in high volume shopping and business centers with limited negative impact to parking for patrons and the community. Not only will the Sprinter van be easier to navigate, but it will also allow Public Safety to operate officially in dynamic environments. Rather than transporting pop-up tents and tables, the van will be equipped with workstations that will allow personnel to work safely and efficiently, while also providing a compact meeting room for them to speak privately with residents The van will not only offer a presence of high visibility, which can assist in crime deterrence, but it will support critical department operations. As a mobile command center, the versatility of the vehicle will support public safety, planning, and communication. The unit will be deployed strategically during planned evening events, partner operations, City events, or in the event of an emergency, the van can be used as an extension of a citywide activation of the EOC and will provide a visible Public Safety presence for staff to organize equipment and coordinate information.

Anticipated uses of the van include, but are not limited to, the following:
• CSP outreach meetings and events at schools, shopping centers, and community events; • Neighborhood Watch and Business Watch Meetings;
• HOPE team overnight details and clean-ups with agency partners and LASD; • City events;
• Emergency operations;
• Drone operations requiring a mobile command location; • And other Public Safety activities
The van can serve as a mobile command post, deploying drones to hazardous areas, emergencies, disasters, and substandard structures to provide live aerial video and real-time situational awareness. This enables personnel to assess conditions, coordinate operations, conduct safety briefings, and evaluate critical infrastructure from anywhere in the City. Drone support can also assist law enforcement with street takeovers, missing persons, and other incidents, as well as provide aerial support during City events and authorized operations. By deploying the van anywhere throughout the City, staff can safely evaluate situations without putting themselves and others at risk. Responsive drone deployment within the mobile command center will serve as an additional resource among the other versatile uses of the van.

A Mobile Data Computer (“MDC”) will also be included in the van to enhance operational efficiency and strengthen coordination with the Sheriff’s Department. The MDC will provide authorized personnel with secure, real-time access to critical law information, including the ability to verify the status of suspicious vehicles and identify potential public safety concerns. This City Council October 20, 2026
Resolution 26-63 - Budget Amendment for Purchase

Page No. 3
capability will improve situational awareness, support timely, and informed decision-making, while enhancing coordinated responses during neighborhood patrols, special operations, community events, and emergencies. This technology is the basis of the Department’s operational functionality during deployment. By including an MDC, the vehicle’s mission is strengthened through its ability to serve as a mobile command center and community resource in support of public safety operations.

Fiscal Impact:

The upfront cost of the beginning of the custom build mobile van is estimated at $89,680, which includes the lease of a Mobile Data Computer (MDC) and 50% of the estimated cost of the outfitting of the van. After the initial expense, Public Safety will pay an estimated $34,428.60 annual 5-year lease for the van and remaining 50% of the outfitting over the span of 5-years with tax and fees included for the lease. The total estimated cost of the vehicle and equipment is $249,719. The following planning allocation illustrates the proposed maximum cost; individual amounts are not vendor quotes and may change as specifications and procurement are completed:

UPFRONT COST ANNUAL LEASE TOTAL PURCHASE
Van $ 17,828.64 $ 81,039.00
Custom Build $ 79,000.00 $ 16,599.96 $ 158,000.00
MDC $ 10,680.00 $ 10,680.00
Total $ 89,680.00 $ 34,428.60 $ 249,719.00
The preliminary project estimate is anticipated to be expensed from the City’s Equipment Replacement Fund. Ongoing fuel, maintenance, insurance, connectivity, and replacement costs would be addressed through the Department’s operating budget and future budget requests as needed.

Staff would bring this back to City Council if the final project cost exceeds the approved amount or if further action is required under the City’s purchasing rules.

SUBJECT: RESOLUTION NO. 26-64 - BUDGET AMENDMENT FOR ACCEPTANCE OF

GRANT FUNDS FOR SECURITY SERVICES AT THE WEINGART ROSE - PROJECT HOMEKEY LOCATED AT 10646 ROSECRANS AVENUE
Background:

Since the opening of Weingart Rose in October 2025, the City and Sheriff Department combined have documented over 418 calls for service at this location. Located at 10646 Rosecrans Avenue, the Weingart Rose is a permanent supportive housing development that was placed by Los Angeles County (“County”). The County purchased the Motel 6 that previously occupied the site through the State-funded Project Homekey initiative, to support individuals transitioning out of homelessness. Weingart Rose offers case management, health and wellness support, life skills training, and long-term stability resources for all 54 occupants at the facility. The Weingart Center provides private security for its various properties, but its security model does not allow patrols beyond its facilities, leaving the shopping center it is in unprotected and vulnerable to unwanted concerns.

The Public Safety Department has received over 250 calls, most of which are quality-of-life concerns involving loitering by unsheltered individuals, suspected narcotics use and sales, theft, panhandling, trespassing, and inoperable or stolen vehicles requiring law enforcement response. The additional 168 calls for service were received by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department ranging for narcotics to loitering at the property. Recently, the 7-Eleven convenience store, formerly located on the same property, closed, citing a drop in revenue and sales because of these issues.

The City meets weekly with the County and Weingart Rose to address these issues and has identified a lack of security and support services for unsheltered individuals loitering on the property. Because Weingart Rose is a County-initiated housing project operated by a nonprofit City Council October 20, 2026
Resolution No. 26-64 - Budget Amendment
Acceptance of Grant Funds for Security Services
Page No. 2
agency, the roles and responsibilities for security and addressing quality of life concerns in the surrounding area should be clearly defined.

The City has applied for a grant through the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors in the amount of $200,000. The County has committed that these grant funds will be used to provide additional security services to safeguard the businesses affected by the unwanted activity attracted to the business park.

The City intends to use private security to address quality of life issues outside the Weingart Rose property, to provide public safety services for reported concerns at the property and in the surrounding area. To support this action, the City will deploy Absolute International Security (“Absolute”) to provide the on-site security services. The City completed a Request for Proposals process and awarded a contract to Absolute in December 2025 to provide security services at City facilities. Utilizing Absolute will enable the City to address residents’ and businesses’ concerns through the contract to supplement public safety operations. The City is not assuming responsibility for operating or managing the County’s housing program.

The City would manage the security contract and address illegal activity and quality of life concerns in the parking lot and surrounding areas. Before implementation, staff will coordinate with the County and Weingart Rose Project Operator to establish clear responsibilities, service boundaries, reporting procedures, and performance measures.

Fiscal Impact:

Available grant funds through Los Angeles County amount to a total of $200,000. There will be no fiscal impact to the City’s General Fund.

SUBJECT: PROJECT NO. 7527 - TERMINATION OF CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT

SERVICES FOR THE REHABILITATION FOR SEWAGE LIFT STATION AT

HARVARD DRIVE AND GRIDLEY ROAD
Background:

On July 15, 2025, the City awarded a contract for an amount of $320,923.28 to Christensen Brothers General Engineering Inc. (”Christensen”) for Project No. 7527 Rehabilitation Project for Sewage Lift Station at Harvard Drive and Gridley Road (originally Project No. 7524). The purpose of this project is to rehabilitate the existing sewer lift station at this intersection. The scope of work includes the installation of a temporary sewer bypass; removal and replacement of plug valves, swing check valves, two submersible pumps, slide rail assemblies, ductile iron piping; construction of a new meter vault; and installation of a magnetic flow meter. The project was initially scheduled to be completed prior to June 2026.

During the course of the contract, staff determined that Christensen was in default of its obligations due to failure to procure equipment in a timely manner and commence construction in accordance with the project schedule.

Events Timeline:
• July 15, 2025: The City awarded a contract to Christensen. • August 26, 2025: The City executed the contract.
• November 4, 2025: The City issued an Administrative Notice to Proceed. • July 1, 2026: The City issued a Notice to Proceed for Construction. • July 8, 2026: The City was notified the contractor was unable to complete Project No. 7527.
• August 12, 2026: The Notice to Cure was issued to the contractor.

City Council October 20, 2026
Termination of Construction Contract Page No. 2
Pursuant to Section 17.2 of the contract, staff is requesting authorization to terminate the contract for Default. Upon approval, a formal Notice of Termination will be issued in accordance with the terms of the contract.

The contractor's inability to complete the work leaves the area vulnerable to a sanitary sewer overflow in the event of a simultaneous failure of both pumps. Such an overflow could discharge contaminated water into the area and the storm drain system, creating potential health violations and damage to private property.

On September 21, 2026, Governor Gavin Newsom issued a proclamation of a state of emergency in preparation for potential severe weather and flooding associated with the predicted El Niño event. On October 9, 2026, the State Water Resources Control Board issued a letter directing Sanitary Sewer Systems General Order enrollees to take steps to minimize sanitary sewer system spills during the upcoming severe storms. Specifically, enrollees must maintain an up-to-date emergency response plan and complete preventative maintenance, including reducing inflow and infiltration, fixing structural vulnerabilities, and ensuring adequate system capacity. To mitigate the risk of a sanitary sewer overflow, this project will be completed on an emergency work basis with another contractor.

Upon City Council approval of the contract termination, staff will execute a new contract with Mike Bubalo Construction Co., Inc. to complete the remaining work under the same scope as originally defined in Project. No. 7527. Mike Bubalo Construction Co., Inc. was selected as a responsible contractor based on verified, satisfactory performance on comparable projects within the City, including Project No. 7606, and for its experienced personnel.

Fiscal Impact:

Sufficient funding is available in the Sewer Enterprise FY 26/27 adopted budget and no additional funding is requested at this time.

SUBJECT: AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT PROJECTS STATUS UPDATE Background:

On March 10, 2021, President Biden signed the American Rescue Plan Act (“ARPA”), which established the State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (“SLFRF”) program to provide financial assistance to state and local governments in response to the COVID-19 public health emergency. Under U.S. Department of the Treasury requirements, ARPA funds were required to be obligated by December 31, 2024, and must be expended by December 31, 2026. Any funds remaining unspent after the expenditure deadline must be returned to the U.S. Department of the Treasury.

The City of Norwalk received $28,046,746 in ARPA funding based on the applicable federal allocation formula. The U.S. Department of the Treasury established requirements governing the eligible uses and administration of these funds.

On August 17, 2021, the City Council approved the City's ARPA spending plan, allocating funding to eligible projects addressing community needs and operational priorities. Table 1 summarizes key City Council actions related to ARPA funding.

PLAN ACT FUNDED PROJECTS
Background:

The City of Norwalk received $28,046,746 in ARPA funding and obligated the full allocation by December 31, 2024, with a required expenditure deadline of December 31, 2026, in accordance with federal requirements.

Staff have continued implementing the ARPA-funded projects and monitoring expenditures to ensure compliance with applicable requirements. Of the City's 24 ARPA projects, 15 have been completed and nine remain active. To date, $26.4 million has been expended, representing 94% of its total ARPA allocation. The remaining active projects are anticipated to be completed by December 31, 2026.

Two projects were completed under budget with a combined remaining balance of $489,634.

These funds are available for consideration for re-obligation to other eligible active ARPA projects, subject to applicable federal requirements and City Council approval. The two projects are listed below:
• Project No. 2.361219 - Aid to Impacted Industries Signage: $149,634 remaining due to ongoing construction affecting the planned signage improvements around the Norwalk Entertainment Center.
• Project No. 7.1T1219 - Scan & Digitize Plans: $340,000 in anticipated savings from the digitization of City records.

City Council October 6, 2026
Resolution No. 26-59 ARPA Budget Amendment Page No. 2
Proposed Re-Obligation:

Unspent funds from completed ARPA projects may be reallocated to other active ARPA projects, subject to applicable federal requirements and City Council approval. Of the nine active projects, five are nearly completed utilizing the full project budget with no need of additional funding.

The reallocation of available ARPA funding among active projects is at the discretion of the City Council. In an effort to leverage available ARPA funding, staff recommend reallocating the available $489,634 to the following projects to support eligible project costs and facilitate the timely expenditure of ARPA funds ahead of the federal deadline:
• Project No. 1.7C8219 – Security & Safety Improvement Project • Project No. 7.1T5219 – Software Upgrades
• Project No. 7.1T6219 – Technology Hardware Upgrades
Project 1.7C8219 - Security & Safety Improvement:

Project No. 1.7C8219 – Security & Safety Improvement Project was timely obligated by the December 31, 2024 obligation deadline through an Inter-Agency MOU with the Public Safety Department approved by the City Council in December 2024 and subsequently amended in June 2026. The project was established to provide security upgrades at City Hall.

Staff is proposing to re-obligate $175,859 to Project No. 1.7C8219, consisting of $149,634 from Project No. 2.361219 - Aid to Impacted Industry Signage and $26,225 from Project No. 7.1T1219 Scan & Digitize Plans. The additional funding will support completion of the planned security and safety improvements and facilitate the timely expenditure of ARPA funds.

If approved, an amendment to the Inter-Agency MOU with the Public Safety Department will be required to reflect the revised ARPA project budget.

1. Overview
This Statement of Work (SOW) establishes the scope, deliverables, and commercial terms for IBE Digital's engagement with the City of Norwalk (hereinaEer the Client) to consolidate the City's idenFty and messaging footprint onto MicrosoE cloud services. The engagement covers migraFng single sign-on (SSO) for the FOIA applicaFon from AcFve Directory FederaFon Services (ADFS) to MicrosoE Entra ID, decommissioning the on-premises ADFS environment, and decommissioning the City's on-premises Exchange server.

The work removes two legacy on-premises components, the ADFS federaFon service and the on-premises Exchange server, aEer their funcFons have been moved to MicrosoE Entra ID and Exchange Online respecFvely. This reduces the City's on-premises aNack surface, eliminates the maintenance and cerFficate-renewal burden associated with ADFS and Exchange, and consolidates authenFcaFon and mail on MicrosoE's managed cloud services.

All work will be performed in coordinaFon with City of Norwalk IT staff and sequenced into controlled maintenance windows to minimize risk to authenFcaFon and mail services.

The City of Norwalk currently operates an on-premises ADFS environment that provides federated authenFcaFon, including SSO for the FOIA applicaFon, and MicrosoE Entra Connect synchronizes idenFty from on-premises AcFve Directory to MicrosoE Entra ID. The City also operates an on-premises Exchange server that previously hosted the City's mailboxes in a hybrid configuraFon.

With the City's mailboxes migrated to Exchange Online and the FOIA applicaFon to be repointed to MicrosoE Entra ID for SSO, the on-premises ADFS and Exchange servers are candidates for decommission. MicrosoE Entra Connect will remain in place as the idenFty synchronizaFon mechanism between on-premises AcFve Directory and MicrosoE Entra ID.

2. Scope of Work
IBE Digital will perform the following work, sequenced to preserve authenFcaFon and mail availability throughout the engagement and scheduled with City IT staff.

Phase 1: FOIA Applica1on SSO Migra1on to Microso9 Entra ID • Review the current FOIA applicaFon SSO configuraFon in ADFS, including the relyingparty trust, claim rules, and the authenFcaFon protocol in use 4 562.921.0202
[email protected] ibedigital.com 11266 Monarch St. B, Garden Grove, CA
• Create and configure the corresponding enterprise applicaFon in MicrosoE Entra ID, reproducing the required sign-on seTngs, claims or aNribute mappings, and user or group assignments
• Coordinate with the FOIA applicaFon owner or vendor as needed to update the applicaFon's idenFty provider seTngs to trust MicrosoE Entra ID • Test SSO to the FOIA applicaFon through MicrosoE Entra ID with pilot users prior to cutover
• Cut over FOIA SSO to MicrosoE Entra ID and confirm successful authenFcaFon for users Phase 2: ADFS Decommission
• Confirm that no remaining relying-party trusts or applicaFons depend on ADFS prior to decommission
• Convert the affected MicrosoE 365 or Entra domains from federated authenFcaFon to MicrosoE Entra managed authenFcaFon, using the idenFty synchronized by MicrosoE Entra Connect
• Validate user authenFcaFon to MicrosoE 365 and Entra-integrated applicaFons following the conversion
• Decommission the ADFS server or servers and the associated Web ApplicaFon Proxy if present, including cleanup of related DNS records and cerFficates Phase 3: On-Premises Exchange Decommission
• Confirm all mailboxes, shared mailboxes, and public folders have been migrated to Exchange Online and that no mail flow depends on the on-premises Exchange server • Retain a supported Exchange management capability on-premises for the management of directory-synchronized mail aNributes, consistent with MicrosoE guidance for environments where MicrosoE Entra Connect remains in place • Perform a proper Exchange uninstallaFon of the on-premises Exchange server rather than a forced removal
• Clean up the associated AcFve Directory, DNS, connector, and cerFficate entries related to the decommissioned Exchange server
Phase 4: Valida1on and Handoff
• Confirm authenFcaFon to MicrosoE 365, the FOIA applicaFon, and other Entraintegrated services following all cutover and decommission acFviFes • Confirm mail flow and Exchange Online operaFon following the on-premises Exchange decommission
5 562.921.0202
[email protected] ibedigital.com 11266 Monarch St. B, Garden Grove, CA
• Update IBE Digital's documentaFon with the revised idenFty and mail configuraFon for ongoing managed-services reference
• Deliver a project compleFon sign-off confirming scope compleFon

3. Assumptions and Dependencies
This SOW is predicated on the following assumpFons. Material deviaFon from these assumpFons may require a Change Order to adjust scope and/or fees. • The City of Norwalk will provide IBE Digital with administraFve access to AcFve Directory, MicrosoE Entra ID, the ADFS environment, the on-premises Exchange server, and the FOIA applicaFon's idenFty provider configuraFon prior to project kickoff • The City's mailboxes, shared mailboxes, and public folders have been migrated to Exchange Online prior to the on-premises Exchange decommission; any mailboxes remaining on-premises will be addressed via Change Order • MicrosoE Entra Connect is in place and healthy, with password hash synchronizaFon or pass-through authenFcaFon available to provide cloud authenFcaFon once ADFS federaFon is removed
• The FOIA applicaFon supports MicrosoE Entra ID as an idenFty provider using a standard federaFon protocol (SAML or OpenID Connect); an applicaFon that cannot support Entra ID directly will be addressed via Change Order
• The FOIA applicaFon owner or vendor will be available to update the applicaFon's idenFty provider seTngs and to assist with tesFng during the engagement • The City will maintain current, validated backups of the ADFS and Exchange servers and of AcFve Directory prior to the decommission acFviFes
• IBE Digital will have the ability to schedule maintenance windows with City IT staff for the authenFcaFon cutover and the decommission acFviFes
• All work will be performed remotely unless on-site presence is mutually agreed upon; on-site travel Fme is not included in the esFmate

The City of Norwalk operates perimeter firewalls at City Hall and at Norwalk Transit that have reached end of life. To replace this end-of-life hardware, advance the City’s security posture, restore full manufacturer support, and improve operational resiliency, the City intends to deploy new high availability firewall pairs at both locations. City Hall will be served by a high availability pair of Palo Alto Networks PA-1420 firewalls and Norwalk Transit will be served by a high availability pair of Palo Alto Networks PA-460 firewalls.

The solution will replace the existing end-of-life Palo Alto Networks firewalls at each site with a resilient, secure perimeter firewall architecture that restores full manufacturer support, aligns with current operational requirements, and minimizes service disruption. The design will leverage Palo Alto Networks best practices for high availability deployment, configuration and policy migration from the outgoing firewalls, and lifecycle support, and will preserve existing network connectivity, security policies, and integrations at both City Hall and Norwalk Transit.

2. Scope of Work
Phase 1: Planning and Design
• Review current firewall configuration and network topology at City Hall and Norwalk Transit.
• Define the high availability deployment and migration strategy for the PA-1420 pair at City Hall and the PA-460 pair at Norwalk Transit.
• Confirm interface assignment, addressing, routing, and management access requirements for each site.
• Validate requirements, assumptions, and implementation schedule.

Phase 2: Implementation and Migration
• Stage, license, and update the high availability pair of PA-1420 firewalls for City Hall. • Stage, license, and update the high availability pair of PA-460 firewalls for Norwalk Transit.
• Configure high availability at each site, including HA links, device priority, and failover behavior.
• Migrate and validate security policies, address and service objects, NAT, and routing at each site.
4 • Enable the procured subscription services on each pair, including Advanced Threat Prevention, Advanced URL Filtering, Advanced WildFire, and Advanced DNS Security. • Generate and deploy the required certificates on each firewall pair signed by the City's new certificate authority, including management interface, GlobalProtect portal/gateway, and decryption certificates as applicable, and confirm trust distribution to City endpoints.
• Schedule and perform cutover from the existing firewalls to the new platform at each site.

Phase 3: Testing and Project Closeout
• Conduct high availability failover and functional testing at City Hall and Norwalk Transit. • Verify logging, management access, and administrative authentication. • Address post-cutover adjustments or optimizations.
• Create documentation and perform knowledge transfer.
• Update the documentation with new hardware and/or services. • Client project sign-off.

The engagement covers upgrading the City's five (5) ESXi hosts and their vCenter Server management appliance to a current, supported release, applying VMware licensing across the hosts, and updaJng VMware Tools on all virtual machines running on the plaKorm.

The work brings the City's virtualizaJon plaKorm to a current, fully supported baseline, ensures the hosts are correctly licensed under VMware's current subscripJon model, and updates the in-guest VMware Tools across the virtual machine estate to maintain performance, stability, and supportability.

All work will be performed in coordinaJon with City of Norwalk IT staff and sequenced into controlled maintenance windows to minimize risk to producJon services.

3. Scope of Work
IBE Digital will perform the following work. All upgrade acJviJes will be sequenced to preserve virtual machine availability, using vMoJon and host maintenance mode where the cluster configraJon permits, and scheduled with City IT staff.

Phase 1: vCenter Server Upgrade
• Review the current vCenter Server version, topology, and configuraJon, and confirm the supported upgrade path to the target release
• Take a backup and snapshot of the vCenter Server appliance prior to the upgrade • Upgrade the vCenter Server appliance to the target supported release • Validate vCenter services, inventory, host connecJvity, and single sign-on following the upgrade
Phase 2: ESXi Host Upgrades
• Confirm hardware compaJbility for the target ESXi release against the vendor compaJbility guide for each of the five hosts
• Place each host into maintenance mode in sequence, migraJng running virtual machines to the remaining hosts where the cluster configuraJon permits • Upgrade each of the five (5) ESXi hosts to the target supported release 4 562.921.0202
