PRE-AUTHORIZED LIST OF VENDORS TO PROVIDE SPECIALIZED PERSONAL

PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT, MAINTENANCE AND SPECIALIZED SERVICE

CITY OF ONTARIO
Agenda Report
January 21, 2025
SECTION:

CONSENT CALENDAR

RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council approve a pre-authorized vendors list to provide personal protective equipment and maintenance services for emergency equipment and services for the Fire Department.

THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:

Maintain the Current High Level of Public Safety
Operate in a Businesslike Manner
FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no direct ﬁscal impact with the approval of this vendor list. The designation of pre-authorized vendors to provide specialized safety equipment, maintenance and specialized services does not commit to the City to any speciﬁc level of future expenditures with these vendors. Expenditures for each vendor, and in total for each ﬁscal year, will not exceed the Fire Department's appropriations limits established by the City Council.

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:

The Fire Department utilizes specialized personal protective equipment (PPE) and specialized services that allow ﬁreﬁghters to safely perform their duties during all-risk emergency responses. The Fire Department must ensure that all ﬁre personnel have the appropriate equipment and personal protective equipment and that all PPE is maintained appropriately. Due to the specialized nature of the equipment and services, as well as the specialized cleaning and maintenance that must be performed promptly, there are a limited number of vendors that can provide these goods and services.

For these reasons, it is not cost-eﬀective for the City to follow its standard purchasing procedures to solicit bids or issue requests for proposals. Establishing a pre-authorized list of vendors will facilitate the following:

Ensuring that necessary equipment and PPE are available when needed; Services are performed by qualified vendors familiar with firefighter PPE; and 28 Better maintenance because pre-authorized vendors are familiar with the service and repair history of the Department's firefighting PPE.

The list of recommended vendors was developed based on input from the manufacturers of all current ﬁreﬁghter PPE utilized by the Ontario Fire Department, as well as the City's past procurement experience. If approved, purchase orders (within approved budgeted amounts) will be issued to each vendor, without quotes for individual equipment or services for expeditious ordering at current market rates.

Ontario Municipal Code Section 2-6.23(b) and 2-6.23(c) authorizes the Purchasing Oﬃcer to make purchases without following the standard purchasing procedures whenever (1) the goods can be obtained from only one source, and/or (2) a breakdown in machinery, equipment or an essential service which requires immediate purchase of supplies and equipment to protect public health, safety and welfare generates circumstances that a competitive process would be unavailing or would not produce an advantage, and the advertisement for competitive bid would thus be undesirable, impractical, or impossible.

A RESOLUTION FOR PLACEMENT OF SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS ON THE SAN

BERNARDINO COUNTY TAX ROLLS

CITY OF ONTARIO
Agenda Report
January 21, 2025
SECTION:

CONSENT CALENDAR

RECOMMENDATION:

THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:

Operate in a Businesslike Manner
Focus Resources in Ontario's Commercial and Residential Neighborhoods FISCAL IMPACT:

The levy of special assessments will result in the recovery of $42,386.67 in costs that the City has expended for inspection or abatement of property violations, as well as the collection of $16,250.00 associated with civil penalties and/or ﬁnes for continued violations, for a total of $58,636.67 related to 100 parcels. When received, these reimbursements will be deposited into the General Fund. The special assessment revenue is included in the Fiscal Year 2024-25 Budget.

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:

The City has established administrative citations and ﬁnes for property maintenance violations and fees and penalties associated with the Systematic Health and Safety Inspection Program, Abandoned and Distressed Property Program, and Weed and Refuse Abatement Program. These costs, ﬁnes, fees, and penalties are recovered through placement of special tax assessments upon the properties. The placement of special assessments and collection of revenue is done under Ordinance 3046, Property Appearance (Title 5, Chapter 22 of the Ontario Municipal Code); Chapter 9 of the Uniform Code for the Abatement of Dangerous Buildings; and Ordinance 2920 for civil penalties for continued violations of the Ontario Municipal Code and ﬁnes associated with administrative citations (Title 1, Chapters 2 and 5 of the Ontario Municipal Code).

The City and County currently have a contractual agreement regarding the implementation of special assessments; however, a Resolution authorizing the placement of the speciﬁc assessments is required. During this assessment cycle, the Community Improvement Department has billed property owners for: the abatement of violations; the issuance of ﬁnes associated with 30 administrative citation; the issuance of fees and penalties associated with the Systematic Health and Safety Inspection Program; the issuance of registration fees and civil penalties associated with the Abandoned and Distressed Property Program; the issuance of notice and re-inspection fees; and, civil penalties for the Weed and Refuse Abatement Program on 207 parcels. Of these, there are remaining amounts due on 100 parcels. Attached are itemized accounts that include: 1) costs associated with inspection or abatement as shown in Exhibit A of the Resolution; 2) civil penalties and/or ﬁnes for continued violations as shown in Exhibit B of the Resolution; and 3) total amounts per parcel as shown in Exhibit C of the Resolution. All aﬀected property owners were given notice of the imposition of special assessments via certiﬁed mail as provided in Ontario Municipal Code Section 1-4.05(a) and have either not requested an appeal or have exhausted the appellate procedure in Ontario Municipal Code Section 1-4.05(b).

James R. Bryant Park, located on the northeast corner of D. Street and San Antonio Avenue, oﬀers various amenities such as a dog park, basketball courts, backstop for tee ball, playground, exercise equipment, and a tennis court. As the park has aged, the tennis court deteriorated beyond repair and required new surfacing and fencing. In collaboration with the Community Life and Culture Agency, a survey was conducted at the park to determine if the tennis court should be replaced with a new type of sporting court. Sixty-four community members participated in the survey with 56 votes for a futsal court, 8 votes for a pickleball court, and 0 votes for a tennis court. Based on these survey results, Staﬀ decided that a futsal court would replace the 46 existing tennis court.

On November 18 , 2024, the City solicited bids for Bid No. 1862 James R. Bryant Park Futsal Court Renovation under Construction Contract No. PM 2425-20. The four (4) bids received met the bid criteria and standards necessary to perform this work.

3. Contractor shall submit the Recovery Schedule within seven (7) Days of City’s request. If Contractor asserts that City is responsible for the delay, failure to submit the recovery schedule within seven (7) Days of City’s request, will be considered a concurrent delay event attributable to Contractor, and Contractor shall only be entitled to non -compensable adjustments to Contract Times. If Contractor is responsible for the delay, this provision will not limit or affect Contractor's liability and failure to submit the recovery schedule with seven (7) Days of City’s request may result in City withholding progress payments or other amounts due under the Contract Documents.

4. Contractor is responsible for all costs associated with the preparation and execution of the recovery schedule, including any necessary recovery actions, which may include, but are not limited to, assignment of additional labor, and/or equipment, shift or overtime work, expediting of submittals or deliveries, overlapping of activities or sequencing changes to increase activity concurrence.

Regardless of whether City directs Contractor to prepare a recovery schedule pursuant to this Section, Contractor shall promptly undertake appropriate action at no additional cost to City to recover the schedule whenever the current construction schedule shows that the Contractor will not achieve a milestone and/or complete the Work within the allotted Contract Time.

8.3 Time for Completion and Liquidated Damages
A. Time for Completion. The time for completion set forth in Article 2 of the Contract for Construction shall commence: (1) on the date stated in the Notice to Proceed, or (2) if the Notice to Proceed does not specify a commencement date, then on the date of the Notice to Proceed and shall be completed by Contractor in the time specified in the Contract Documents. The City is under no obligation to consider early completion of the Project; and the Contract completion date shall not be amended by the City’s receipt or acceptance of the Contractor’s proposed earlier completion date. Any difference in time between the Contractor’s early completion and the Contract Time shall be considered a part of the Project float. Contractor shall not be entitled to compensation, and the City will not compensate Contractor, for delays which impact early completion. Contractor shall not, under any circumstances, receive additional compensation from the City (including but not limited to indirect, general, administrative or other forms of overhead costs) for the period between the time of earlier completion proposed by the Contractor and the Contract completion date.

Renovation PM 2425-20 -65- SECTION 00700 – GENERAL CONDITIONS

B. Liquidated Damages. If the Work is not completed within the Contract Time(s), it is understood that the City will suffer damage. In accordance with Government Code section 53069.85 and Public Contract Code section 7102, being impractical and infeasible to determine the amount of actual damage, it is agreed that Contractor shall pay to the City as fixed and liquidated damages, and not as a penalty, the sum stipulated in the Contract for each calendar day of delay until the Work is fully completed. Contractor and its surety shall be liable for any liquidated damages. Any money due or to become due the Contractor may be retained to cover liquidated damages.

C. Inclement Weather. Contractor shall abide by the City’s determination of what constitutes inclement weather. Time extensions for inclement weather shall only be granted when the Work stopped during inclement weather is on the critical path of the Project schedule. Contractor shall not be entitled to reverse liquidated damages for time extensions resulting from inclement weather.

D. Extension of Time. Contractor’s entitlement to an extension of the Contract Time is limited to a City -caused extension of the critical path, reduced by the Contractor’s concurrent delays, and established by a proper time impact analysis. Contractor shall not be charged liquidated damages because of any delays in completion of the Work due to unforeseeable causes beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of Contractor (or its Subcontractors or Suppliers). The City shall ascertain the facts and extent of delay and grant extension of time for completing the Work when, in its judgment, the facts justify such an extension. Contractor shall not be entitled to an adjustment in the Contract Times for delays within the control of Contractor. Delays attributable to and within the control of a Subcontractor or Supplier shall be deemed to be delays within the control of Contractor.

E. Reverse Liquidated Damages. Consistent with Public Contract Code Section 7102, Contractor will be compensated for damages incurred due to unreasonable delays to the critical path for which the City is responsible. The parties agree that determining Contractor’s exact delay damages are and will continue to be impracticable and extremely difficult. As such, for each calendar day in excess of the time for completion set forth in Article 2 of the Contract for Construction, the City shall pay to the Contractor the sum stipulated in the Contract per day. Such amount shall constitute the only payment allowed for any City -caused delays and shall necessarily include all overhead, all profits, all administrative costs, all bond costs, all labor, materials, equipment and rental costs and any other costs, expenses and fees incurred or sustained as a result of such delays. Contractor shall not be entitled to reverse liquidated damages for any change in the Work in which Contractor is compensated for overhead and profit through a change in Unit Price Work or a Change Order resulting in a lump sum or allowed mark -up for the additional Work.

The amount of reverse liquidated damages shall be reduced by Contractor’s concurrent delays.

F. Force Majeure . In accordance with subparagraphs “D” and “E” above, the Contractor shall not be charged liquidated damages, and the City shall not be responsible, for any delays resulting from a Force Majeure Event. If a delay to the critical path results from a Force Majeure Event, the Contractor will be entitled to a time extension but will not receive an adjustment to the Contract Price or any other 112
James R Bryant Park Futsal Court
Renovation PM 2425-20 -66- SECTION 00700 – GENERAL CONDITIONS

compensation. Such a non-compensable adjustment shall be Contractor’s sole and exclusive remedy for such delays.

G. No Damages for Reasonable Delay. The City’s liability to Contractor for delays for which the City is responsible shall be limited to only an extension of time unless such delays were unreasonable under the circumstances. In no case shall the City be liable for any costs which are borne by the Contractor in the regular course of business, including, but not limited to, home office overhead and other ongoing costs. Damages caused by unreasonable City delay shall be based on actual costs only, no proportions or formulas shall be used to calculate any delay damages.

H. Procedure for Time Extensions and Delay Damages. Contractor shall not be entitled to any extension of time or any reverse liquidated damages unless Contractor properly notices the delay and adjustment to compensation and requests a Change Order in accordance with Article 9.1 Change Orders and Time Extensions.

Contractor’s failure to timely and fully comply with the Change Order procedures in the Contract Documents shall constitute a waiver of Contractor’s right to a time extension or reverse liquidated damages.

8.4 Contractor’s Responsibility for Work.

A. Until the acceptance of the Work by the Engineer as evidenced in writing, it shall be under the charge and care of the Contractor. The Contractor shall take every necessary precaution against injury or damage to any part thereof by the action of the elements or from any cause whether arising from the execution or non-execution of the Work. The Contractor shall rebuild, repair, restore and make good at its own expense all injuries or damages to any portion of the Work before its completion and acceptance. In the event of damage proximately caused by an Act of God, as defined by Section 7105 of the Public Contract Code, the City will pay for repair or restoration to damaged Work in excess of 5% of the total Bid.

8.5 Occupancy.

A. The City reserves the right to occupy or utilize any portion of the Work at any time before completion, and such occupancy or use shall not constitute acceptance of any part of Work covered by this Contract. This use shall not relieve the Contractor of its responsibilities under the Contract.

8.6 Securities for Money Withheld
A. Pursuant to section 22300 of the Public Contract Code of the State of California, Contractor may request the City to make retention payments directly to an escrow agent or may substitute securities for any money withheld by the City to ensure performance under the contract. At the request and expense of Contractor, securities equivalent to the amount withheld shall be deposited with the City or with a state or federally chartered bank as the escrow agent who shall return such securities to Contractor upon satisfactory completion of the contract. Deposit of securities with an escrow agent shall be subject to a written agreement substantially in the form provided in section 22300 of the Public Contract Code. 113

Renovation PM 2425-20 -67- SECTION 00700 – GENERAL CONDITIONS

8.7 The City’s Right to Suspend/Terminate the Contract
A. Suspension of Work by the City

1. The City may, at its sole option, decide to suspend at any time the performance of all or any portion of the Work by notice in writing to Contractor. Such notice of suspension of Work will designate the amount and type of plant, labor, and equipment to be committed to the Project during the period of suspension.

Contractor shall use its best efforts to utilize its plant, labor, and equipment in such a manner as to minimize costs associated with suspension.

2. Upon receipt of any such notice, Contractor shall, unless the notice requires otherwise:
a. Immediately discontinue Work on the date and to the extent specified in the notice; b. Place no further orders or subcontracts for material, services, or facilities with respect to suspended Work other than to the extent required in the notice; c. Promptly make every reasonable effort to obtain suspension upon terms satisfactory to the City’s Representative of all orders, subcontracts, and rental agreements to the extent they relate to performance of Work suspended; and
d. Continue to protect and maintain the Work including those portions on which Work has been suspended.

3. Except as provided by this Article, as full and complete compensation for such suspension, Contractor shall be granted an adjustment in the Contract Price based on a negotiated daily rate that reflects the Contractor’s actual costs associated with the demobilized condition of the Site and an extension of the Contract Times equal to the number of days performance of Work is suspended; provided, however, that no adjustment of Contract Price or extension of Contract Times shall be granted if the suspension results from Contractor's non-compliance with the requirements of the Contract.

B. Termination for Cause by the City:

1. In the sole estimation of the City, if the Contractor refuses or fails to prosecute the Work or any separable part thereof with such diligence as will insure its completion within the time specified by the Contract Documents, or any extension thereof, or fails to complete such Work within such time, or if the Contractor should be adjudged a bankrupt, or if it should make a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or if a receiver should be appointed on account of its insolvency, or the Contractor or any of its subcontractors should violate any of the provisions of this Contract, the City may serve written notice upon the Contractor and its surety of the City's intention to terminate this Contract. This notice of intent to terminate shall contain the reasons for such intention to terminate this Contract, and a statement to the effect that the Contractor's right to perform this Contract shall cease and terminate upon the expiration of ten (10) Days unless such violations have ceased and arrangements satisfactory to the City have been made for correction of said violations.
114
James R Bryant Park Futsal Court
Renovation PM 2425-20 -68- SECTION 00700 – GENERAL CONDITIONS

2. After expiration of the ten (10) Day period, the City may terminate the Contract by providing a Notice of Termination to the Contractor. The City may take over and complete the Work by any method it may deem appropriate, including enforcement of the Project performance bond. Contractor and its surety shall be liable to the City for any excess costs or other damages incurred by the City to complete the Work. If the City takes over the Work, the City may, without liability for so doing, take possession of and utilize in completing the Work such materials, appliances, plant, and other property belonging to the Contractor as may be on the Site.

3. Upon termination, Contractor shall not be entitled to receive any further payment from the City, except for Work which was duly performed prior to the effective date of the Notice of Termination. Contractor shall submit an invoice for final payment within thirty (30) Days of the effective date of the Notice of Termination. The City may withhold from final payment up to 150% of any disputed amounts, including any amounts which may be necessary to repair defective Work, complete unfinished Work, or are otherwise occasioned by Contractor’s failure to perform its duties under the Contract.

C. Termination for Convenience by the City:

1. The City may terminate performance of the Work called for by the Contract Documents in whole or, from time to time, in part, upon ten (10) Days written notice if the City determines that a termination is in the City's interest.

2. The Contractor shall terminate all or any part of the Work upon delivery to the Contractor of a Notice of Termination specifying that the termination is for the convenience of the City, the extent of termination, and the effective date of such termination.

3. After receipt of Notice of Termination, and except as directed by the City's Representative, the Contractor shall, regardless of any delay in determining or adjusting any amounts due under this termination for convenience clause, immediately proceed with the following obligations:
a. Stop Work as specified in the Notice.
b. Complete any Work specified in the Notice of Termination in a least cost/shortest time manner while still maintaining the quality called for under the Contract Documents. c. Leave the property upon which the Contractor was working and upon which the facility (or facilities) forming the basis of the Contract Document is situated in a safe and sanitary manner such that it does not pose any threat to the public health or safety. d. Terminate all subcontracts to the extent that they relate to the portions of the Work terminated.
e. Place no further subcontracts or orders, except as necessary to complete the continued portion of the Contract.
f. Submit to the City's Representative, within ten (10) Days from the effective date of the Notice of Termination, all of the usual documentation called for by the Contract Documents 115
James R Bryant Park Futsal Court
Renovation PM 2425-20 -69- SECTION 00700 – GENERAL CONDITIONS

to substantiate all costs incurred by the Contractor for labor, materials and equipment through the effective date of the Notice of Termination. Any documentation substantiating costs incurred by the Contractor solely as a result of the City's exercise of its right to terminate this Contract pursuant to this clause, which costs the contractor is authorized under the Contract documents to incur, shall: (1) be submitted to and received by the Engineer no later than 30 Days after the effective date of the Notice of Termination; (2) describe the costs incurred with particularity; and (3) be conspicuously identified as “Termination Costs occasioned by the City's Termination for Convenience.” If the City rejects any costs, Contractor shall be deemed to waive the rejected costs unless Contractor files a Claim within thirty (30) Days of the rejection pursuant to Article 9.2. g. Contractor shall be entitled to receive only the amounts payable under this Article, and Contractor specifically waives any claim for any other amounts or damages, including, but not limited to, any claim for consequential damages or lost profits. The provisions in this Article are in addition to and not in limitation of any other rights or remedies available to the City.

4. Termination of the Contract shall not relieve surety of its obligation for any just claims arising out of or relating to the Work performed.

5. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, when immediate action is necessary to protect life and safety or to reduce significant exposure or liability, the City may immediately order Contractor to cease Work on the Project until such safety or liability issues are addressed to the satisfaction of the City or the Contract is terminated.

6. If the City terminates Contractor for cause, and if it is later determined that the termination was wrongful, such default termination shall automatically be converted to and treated as a termination for convenience. In such event, Contractor shall be entitled to receive only the amounts payable under this section, and Contractor specifically waives any claim for any other amounts or damages, including, but not limited to, any claim for consequential damages or lost profits.

8.8 Completion and Acceptance of Work
A. Final Inspection. Upon written notice from Contractor that the entire Work is complete, the Engineer will promptly make a final inspection with the City and Contractor and will notify Contractor in writing of all particulars in which this inspection reveals that the Work is incomplete or defective. Contractor shall immediately take such measures as are necessary to complete such Work or remedy such deficiencies.

B. Final Acceptance. The acceptance of the Work on behalf of the City will be made by the Engineer. Such acceptance by the City shall not constitute a waiver of defects. After Contractor has, in the opinion of the Engineer, satisfactorily completed all corrections identified during the final inspection and has delivered, in accordance with the Contract Documents, all maintenance and operating instructions, schedules, guarantees, bonds, certificates or other evidence of insurance, certificates of inspection, Record Documents, and other documents required by the 116
James R Bryant Park Futsal Court
Renovation PM 2425-20 -70- SECTION 00700 – GENERAL CONDITIONS

Contract Documents, the City shall execute a Notice of Completion, constituting final acceptance and completion of the Project, except as may be expressly noted.

8.9 Warranty and Guaranty of Work.

A. Contractor hereby warrants that materials and Work shall be completed in conformance with the Contract Documents and that the materials and Work provided will fulfill the requirements of this Warranty. Contractor hereby agrees to repair or replace, at the discretion of the City, any or all Work that may prove to be defective in its workmanship, materials furnished, methods of installation or fail to conform to the Contract Document requirements together with any other Work which may be damaged or displaced by such defect(s) within a period of one (1) year (or as otherwise indicated in the Contract Documents or in any guarantee or warranty provided by any manufacturer or supplier of equipment or materials incorporated into the Work, whichever is later) from the date of the Notice of Completion of the Project without any expense whatever to the City, ordinary wear and tear and unusual abuse and neglect excepted. Contractor shall be required to promptly repair or replace defective equipment or materials, at Contractor’s option. All costs associated with such corrective actions and testing, including the removal, replacement, and reinstitution of equipment and materials necessary to gain access, shall be the sole responsibility of the Contractor.

B. For any Work so corrected, Contractor’s obligation hereunder to correct defective Work shall be reinstated for an additional one (1) year period, commencing with the date of acceptance of such corrected Work. The reinstatement of the one (1) year warranty shall apply only to that portion of work that was corrected. Contractor shall perform such tests as the City may require to verify that any corrective actions, including, without limitation, redesign, repairs, and replacements comply with the requirements of the Contract. In the event of Contractor’s failure to comply with the above-mentioned conditions within ten (10) Days after being notified in writing of required repairs, to the reasonable satisfaction of the City, the City shall have the right to correct and replace any defective or non -conforming Work and any work damaged by such work or the replacement or correction thereof at Contractor’s sole expense. Contractor shall be obligated to fully reimburse the City for any expenses incurred hereunder immediately upon demand.

C. In addition to the warranty set forth in this Article, Contractor shall obtain for the City all warranties that would be given in normal commercial practice and assign to the City any and all manufacturer’s or installer’s warranties for equipment or materials not manufactured by Contractor and provided as part of the Work, to the extent that such third-party warranties are assignable and extend beyond the warranty period set forth in this Article. Contractor shall furnish the City with all warranty and guarantee documents prior to final acceptance of the Project by the City as required.

D. When specifically indicated in the Contract Documents or when directed by the Engineer, the City may furnish materials or products to the Contractor for installation.

In the event any act or failure to act by Contractor shall cause a warranty applicable to any materials or products purchased by the City for installation by the Contractor to be voided or reduced, Contractor shall indemnify the City from and against any cost, expense, or other liability arising therefrom, and shall be responsible to the City 117
James R Bryant Park Futsal Court
Renovation PM 2425-20 -71- SECTION 00700 – GENERAL CONDITIONS

for the cost of any repairs, replacement or other costs that would have been covered by the warranty but for such act or failure to act by Contractor.

E. The Contractor shall remedy at its expense any damage to City-owned or controlled real or personal property.

F. The City shall notify the Contractor, in writing, within a reasonable time after the discovery of any failure, defect, or damage. The Contractor shall within ten (10) Days after being notified commence and perform with due diligence all necessary Work. If the Contractor fails to promptly remedy any defect or damage, the City shall have the right to replace, repair or otherwise remedy the defect, or damage at the Contractor’s expense.

G. In the event of any emergency constituting an immediate hazard to health, safety, property, or licensees, when caused by Work of the Contractor not in accordance with the Contract requirements, the City may undertake at Contractor’s expense, and without prior notice, all Work necessary to correct such condition.

H. Acceptance of Defective Work.

1. If, instead of requiring correction or removal and replacement of defective Work, the City prefers to accept it, the City may do so. Contractor shall pay all claims, costs, losses, and damages (including but not limited to all fees and charges of engineers, architects, attorneys, and other professionals and all court or arbitration or other dispute resolution costs) attributable to the City’s evaluation of and determination to accept such defective Work and for the diminished value of the Work. If any acceptance of Defective Work occurs prior to release of the Project retention, a Change Order will be issued incorporating the necessary revisions in the Contract Documents with respect to the Work, and the City shall be entitled to an appropriate decrease in the Contract Price, reflecting the diminished value of Work and all costs incurred by the City. If the acceptance of defective occurs after release of the Project retention, an appropriate amount will be paid by Contractor to the City.

I. The City May Correct Defective Work

1. If Contractor fails within a reasonable time after written notice from the City to correct Defective Work, or to remove and replace rejected Work as required by the City, or if Contractor fails to perform the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents, or if Contractor fails to comply with any other provision of the Contract Documents, the City may, after seven (7) Days written notice to Contractor, correct, or remedy any such deficiency.

2. In connection with such corrective or remedial action, the City may exclude Contractor from all or part of the Site, take possession of all or part of the Work and suspend Contractor’s services related thereto, take possession of Contractor’s tools, appliances, construction equipment and machinery at the Site, and incorporate in the Work all materials and equipment stored at the Site or for which the City has paid Contractor but which are stored elsewhere. Contractor shall allow the City, and the agents, employees, other contractors, and consultants of each of 118
James R Bryant Park Futsal Court
Renovation PM 2425-20 -72- SECTION 00700 – GENERAL CONDITIONS

them, access to the Site to enable the City to exercise the rights and remedies to correct the Defective Work.

3. All claims, costs, losses, and damages (including but not limited to all fees and charges of engineers, architects, attorneys, and other professionals and all court or arbitration or other dispute resolution costs) incurred or sustained by the City correcting the Defective Work will be charged against Contractor, and a Change Order will be issued incorporating the necessary revisions in the Contract Documents with respect to the Work; and the City shall be entitled to an appropriate decrease in the Contract Price. Such claims, costs, losses and damages will include but not be limited to all costs of repair, or replacement of work of others destroyed or damaged by correction, removal, or replacement of defective Work.

4. If the Change Order is executed after all payments under the Contract have been paid by the City and the Project Retention is held in an escrow account as permitted by the Contract Documents, Contractor will promptly alert the escrow holder, in writing, of the amount of Retention to be paid to the City. If the Change Order is executed after release of the Project retention, an appropriate amount will be paid by Contractor to the City. Contractor shall not be allowed an extension of the Contract Times because of any delay in the performance of the Work attributable to the City correcting Defective Work.

J. Nothing in the warranty or in the Contract Documents shall be construed to limit the rights and remedies available to the City at law or in equity, including, but not limited to, Code of Civil Procedure section 337.15.

ARTICLE 9 -CHANGE ORDERS; DISPUTE RESOLUTION

9.1 Change Orders and Time Extensions
All changes to the Contract, including compensation increases and time extensions, shall be through a written Change Order in accordance with this Article. The City, without invalidating the Contract, may order changes in the Work consisting of additions, deletions or other revisions, and Contractor’s compensation and the time for completion shall be adjusted accordingly. Whenever any change is made as provided for herein, such change shall be considered and treated as though originally included in the Contract, and shall be subject to all terms, conditions, and provisions of the original Contract. Contractor shall not be entitled to claim or bring suit for damages, whether for loss of profits or otherwise, on account of any decrease or omission of any item or portion of Work to be done. No dispute, disagreement, or failure of the parties to reach agreement on the terms of the Change Order shall relieve the Contractor from the obligation to proceed with performance of the Work, including Additional Work, promptly and expeditiously.

Any alterations, extensions of time, Additional Work, or any other changes may be made without securing consent of the Contractor’s surety or sureties.

A. Change in Contract Procedures

1. City Directive. The City may direct changes in the Work by delivering a written directive. To the extent the work directive results in a change to compensation or time, Contractor must timely request a Change Order and comply with all Change 119
James R Bryant Park Futsal Court
Renovation PM 2425-20 -73- SECTION 00700 – GENERAL CONDITIONS

Order procedures in accordance with this Article. Notwithstanding issuance of a work directive, Contractor’s failure to timely request a Change Order shall constitute a waiver by Contractor of any adjustment to compensation or time extension for Work performed under the directive. The City shall not be liable to Contractor for Work performed or omitted by Contractor in reliance on verbal orders.

2. Contractor’s Notice of Change/Delay . If Contractor intends to initiate a Change Order Request, then Contractor shall provide the City with written notice of the underlying facts and circumstances that gave rise to the proposed change within the following times:
a. If due to unknown subsurface or latent physical conditions, within three (3) Days from the discovery date or prior to the alterations of the conditions, whichever is earlier. b. If due to a Force Majeure Event, as soon as reasonably practicable under the conditions, which shall be no longer than three (3) Days from the date the Contractor discovers that the Force Majeure Event gives rise to a change, unless that the conditions are such that notice within three (3) Days is not possible or practicable. c. If due to any other matter that may involve an adjustment to the Contract Time or the Contract Price, within seven (7) days from the discovery date.

To be considered valid and complete, the notice of change/delay shall include a general statement of the circumstances giving rise to the notice of change/delay and a reasonable order of magnitude estimate of the additional costs and/or time.

If the circumstances give rise to both a cost adjustment and time extension, Contractor shall submit the notice of change and notice of delay concurrently.

3. Request for Change in Compensation and/or Extension of Time. Contractor shall submit a Change Order Request for any adjustment to Contractor’s compensation and/or any extension of time. The Change Order Request shall be made prior to incurring any expense and within fourteen (14) Days from either Contractor’s notice of change/delay or the City’s directive ordering the change. The Change Order Request shall include all of the following information (unless inapplicable to the change):
a. A detailed description of the circumstances giving rise to the request; b. A complete itemized cost proposal, including itemized pricing for first tier Subcontractors; c. Supporting documentation for all costs;
d. A time impact analysis showing the impact of the delay to the critical path to completion; e. If any added costs or information cannot be determined at the time of the Change Order Request, the reason the costs or information cannot be determined at the time; and f. Certification to the accuracy of the Change Order Request under penalty of perjury. 120
James R Bryant Park Futsal Court
Renovation PM 2425-20 -74- SECTION 00700 – GENERAL CONDITIONS

The time impact analysis shall be in the critical path method format and shall show the sequencing of all critical and non-critical new activities and/or activity revisions affected by the delay, with logic ties to all affected existing activities noted on the schedule.

The City may demand, and Contractor shall provide, any additional information supporting the Change Order Request, including but not limited to native electronic format version of schedules and time impact analyses. Contractor shall provide the requested additional information within five (5) Days of the request.

For any costs or information that cannot be determined at the time Contractor submits the Change Order Request, Contractor shall submit to the City notice of the costs or information and all supporting documentation within five (5) Days of when the costs or other information become subject to determination.

4. City’s Final Decision on Change Order; Ordered Changes . If the City denies the Change Order Request or disagrees with the proposal submitted by Contractor, it will notify the Contractor, and the City will provide its opinion of the appropriate price and/or time extension. If no agreement can be reached, the City shall have the right to order the Work performed on a time and materials basis or to issue a unilateral Change Order setting forth the City’s determination of the reasonable additions or savings in costs and time attributable to the extra or deleted work. The City shall also have the right to order changes in the Work to be performed promptly by the Contractor on a time and materials basis or to issue a unilateral Change Order setting forth the City’s determination of the reasonable additions or savings in costs and time attributable to the extra or deleted work. The City’s determination shall become final and binding if the Contractor fails to submit a Claim in writing to the City within fourteen (14) Days of the issuance of the unilateral Change Order, disputing the terms of the unilateral Change Order and providing such supporting documentation for its position as the City may reasonably require.

5. Contractor’s Waiver of Further Relief. CONTRACTOR’S FAILURE TO PROVIDE

A COMPLETE AND TIMELY NOTICE OF CHANGE/DELAY AND/OR CHANGE

ORDER REQUEST, OR TO COMPLY WITH ANY OTHER REQUIREMENT OF

THIS ARTICLE, SHALL CONSTITUTE A WAIVER BY CONTRACTOR OF THE

RIGHT TO A CONTRACT ADJUSTMENT ON ACCOUNT OF SUCH

CIRCUMSTANCES AND A WAIVER OF ANY RIGHT TO FURTHER RECOURSE

OR RECOVERY BY REASON OF OR RELATED TO SUCH CHANGE BY

MEANS OF THE CLAIMS DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCESS OR BY ANY

OTHER LEGAL PROCESS OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR UNDER
APPLICABLE LAWS.

Contractor recognizes and acknowledges that timely submission of a formal written notice of change/delay and Change Order Request, whether or not the circumstances of the change may be known to the City or available to the City through other means, is not a mere formality but is of crucial importance to the ability of the City to promptly identify, prioritize, evaluate and mitigate the potential effects of changes. Any form of informal notice, whether verbal or written 121
James R Bryant Park Futsal Court
Renovation PM 2425-20 -75- SECTION 00700 – GENERAL CONDITIONS

(including, without limitation, statements in requests for information, statements in Submittals, statements at any job meeting or entries on monthly reports, daily logs or job meeting minutes), that does not strictly comply with the formal requirements of this Article, shall accordingly be insufficient.

6. Change Order Format
a. A Change Order signed by the Contractor indicates the Contractor's agreement therewith, including any adjustment in compensation or extension of time, and the full and final settlement of all costs (direct, indirect and overhead) related to the Work authorized by the Change Order.
b. The City may designate the forms to be used for notices, requests, and Change Orders.

If so designated, Contractor may only use such forms. Contractor shall not reserve a right to assert impact costs, extended job site costs, extended overhead, constructive acceleration and/or actual acceleration beyond what is stated in the Change Order. No Claims shall be allowed for impact, extended overhead costs, constructive acceleration and/or actual acceleration due to a multiplicity of changes and/or clarifications. The Contractor may not change or modify the City’s Change Order form in an attempt to reserve additional rights.

B. Determining Adjustments to Compensation.

1. Limitation on Costs. Contractor shall not be entitled to any compensation for Work subject to a Change Order except as expressly set forth in this Article. The mark- up added in instances of Additional Work shall constitute the entire amount of profit, any mark-ups, any field or home office overhead costs, including personnel, equipment or office space, any materials, or any costs of equipment idle time for such Work.

2. Unit Price Change Orders . When the actual quantity of a Unit Price Work item varies from the Bid Schedule, compensation for the change in quantity will be calculated by multiplying the actual quantity by the unit price. This calculation may result in either an additive or deductive Change Order. Bid items included on the Bid Schedule may be deducted from the Work in their entirety without any negotiated extra costs. Because Unit Price Work includes overhead and profit as determined by Contractor at the time of its Bid submission, no mark up or deduction for overhead and profit will be allowed.

3. Lump Sum Change Orders. Whenever possible, any changes affecting compensation shall be in a lump sum mutually agreed by the Contractor and the City.

4. Time and Materials Change Orders. The City may direct the Contractor to proceed with the Additional Work with payment to be made on the basis of actual cost of the labor and materials required to complete the Additional Work. If the Project is federally funded, a time and materials Change Order shall only be issued after a determination that no other Change Order is suitable and the Change Order shall include a ceiling price that the Contractor exceeds at its own risk. 122
James R Bryant Park Futsal Court
Renovation PM 2425-20 -76- SECTION 00700 – GENERAL CONDITIONS

5. Federally Funded Projects. For any change in price to the Contract, general and administrative expenses shall be negotiated and must conform to the cost principles set forth under at 2 C.F.R. Part 200, subpart E, and profit shall be negotiated as a separate element of the cost. To establish a fair and reasonable profit, consideration must be given to the complexity of the Additional Work to be performed, the risk borne by the Contractor, the Contractor's investment, the amount of subcontracting, the quality of its record of past performance, and industry profit rates in the surrounding geographical area for similar work.

6. Allowed Costs. Estimates for lump sum quotations and accounting for time -and- material work shall be limited to direct expenditures necessitated specifically by the change and shall be segregated as follows:

Renovation PM 2425-20 -84- SECTION 00700 – GENERAL CONDITIONS

1. Where the Contract Documents provide that all or part of the Work is to be Unit Price Work, initially the Contract Price will be deemed to include for all Unit Price Work an amount equal to the sum of the unit price for each separately identified item of Unit Price Work multiplied by the estimated quantity of each item as indicated in the Contract. The estimated quantities of items of Unit Price Work are not guaranteed and are solely for the purpose of comparison of Bids and determining an initial Contract Price. Each unit price will be deemed to include an amount considered by Contractor to be adequate to cover Contractor’s overhead and or profit for each separately identified item.

2. Unless otherwise specified, payment will be based on the actual quantities of Work as verified and approved by the Engineer, based on the price per unit as set forth in the Bid.

3. The City or Contractor may initiate a Change Order or Change Order Request to adjust the Contract Price in accordance with Contractor Documents based on actual quantities of Unit Price Work. The City or Contractor may make a claim for an adjustment in the Unit Price in accordance with the Contract Documents if:

A. By the tenth (10th) Day of the following calendar month, Contractor shall submit to Engineer a payment request which shall set forth in detail the value of the Work done for the period beginning with the date Work was first commenced and ending on the end of the calendar month for which the payment request is prepared.

In so doing, the City shall be deemed the agent of Contractor and any payment so made by the City shall be considered as a payment made under contract by the City to Contractor and the City shall not be liable to Contractor for such payments made in good faith. Such payments may be made without prior judicial determination of claim or obligations. The City will render Contractor a proper accounting of such funds disbursed on behalf of Contractor.

If the Contractor has placed securities with the City as described herein, the Contractor shall be paid a sum equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Contract Price less any amounts due the City under the terms of the Contract.

C. Unless Contractor advises the City in writing prior to acceptance of the final five percent (5%) or the percentage specified in the Notice Inviting Bids where the City has adopted a finding of completion, or the return of securities held as described herein, said acceptance shall operate as a release to the City of all claims and all liability to Contractor for all things done or furnished in connection with this Work and for every act of negligence of the City and for all other claims relating to or arising out of this Work. If Contractor advises the City in writing prior to acceptance of final payment or return of the securities that there is a dispute regarding the amount due the Contractor, the City may pay the undisputed amount contingent upon the Contractor furnishing a release of all undisputed claims against the City with the disputed claims in stated amounts being specifically excluded by Contractor from the operation of the release. No payments, however, final or otherwise, shall operate to release Contractor or its sureties from the Faithful Performance Bond, Labor and Material Payment Bond, or from any other obligation under this Contract.

AMENDMENTS TO THE MAINTENANCE SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH

CONVERGINT TECHNOLOGIES, LLC FOR THE ONTARIO MUSEUM OF HISTORY

AND ARTS EXTERIOR DOOR ACCESS CONTROL UPGRADE AND THE CCTV

INTERSECTION CAMERA INSTALLATION PROJECT

CITY OF ONTARIO
Agenda Report
January 21, 2025
SECTION:

CONSENT CALENDAR

RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council take the following actions:

A
.

Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute all documents required for the completion of the project including, but not limited to agreements, assessments, easements, reduction of retention accounts, contracts amendments within the authorization limits, and filing a notice of completion at the conclusion of all construction related activities.

THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:

Invest in the City's Infrastructure (Water, Streets, Sewers, Parks, Storm Drains and Public Facilities)
Encourage, Provide or Support Enhanced Recreational, Educational, Cultural and Healthy City Programs, Policies and Activities
Operate in a Businesslike Manner
FISCAL IMPACT:

The proposed Amendment No. 3 to the Maintenance Services Agreement with Convergint Technologies, LLC (Convergint) increases the contract amount by $8,648 for a total not- to-exceed contract amount of $3,851,128. The Fiscal Year 2024-25 Adopted Budget includes appropriations in the Capital Projects- Measure Q Fund for the Ontario Museum of History and Arts 205
Exterior Door Access Control Upgrade. The proposed Amendment No. 4 to the Maintenance Services Agreement with Convergint increases the contract amount by $402,348 for a total not-to- exceed contract amount of $4,253,476. If approved, additional appropriations in the Capital Projects- Measure Q Fund will be requested at a future quarterly budget update as needed for the CCTV Intersection Camera Installation Project. The combined total cost of all recommended actions is $410,996. The total contract amount includes work performed for various citywide projects.

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:

On January 16, 2024, the City Council approved Amendment No. 2 to the Maintenance Services Agreement with Convergint to bring ﬁve (5) doors up to code for ADA compliance with an access control system upgrade. As the project commenced, Staﬀ identiﬁed more work needed to be done on the framework, hardware, and alarm system than originally anticipated. If approved, Amendment No. 3 will include the additional materials and labor needed to complete the Ontario Museum of History and Arts Exterior Door Access Control Upgrade project.

The total cost for the Ontario Museum of History and Arts Exterior Door Access Control Upgrade project will be $49,246.

The Ontario Museum of History and Arts is a historical building. Due to its age, a master plan was created to outline necessary upgrades to improve the safety, security and functionality of the Museum. The City of Ontario Information Technology Agency utilizes Convergint for access control citywide due to the standardization they provide.

The proposed Amendment No. 4 allows funding for additional intersection cameras for several key intersections not covered during the initial CCTV Intersection Camera Installation Project. Additional cameras will expand coverage to high-traﬃc and high-incident areas currently unmonitored to ensure consistent monitoring across the city. This will help improve the Real Time Information Center's capabilities by expanding camera coverage areas to identify quality of life problems before they have a negative impact on the community and increase the solvability of crimes both in real- time and post-crime investigations.
