1. SUBJECT
Second Amendment to License Agreement with the County of Orange for use of office space at Fire Station No. 7.
2. SUMMARY
Second Amendment Agreement extending the contract term with the County of Orange to allow the Orange County Intelligence Assessment Center to occupy vacant office space on the second floor of Fire Station No. 7 through October 19, 2023.
3. RECOMMENDED ACTION
Approve the amendment agreement with the County of Orange for use of office space at Fire Station No. 7; and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute on behalf of the City.
4. FISCAL IMPACT
None.
5. STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS
Goal 1: Provide for a safe community
a: Provide staffing and resources to deliver services that ensure public safety.
6. DISCUSSION AND BACKGROUND
In 2002, the Orange County Board of Supervisors approved the creation of the Terrorist Early Warning Group (TEWG) in response to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. In 2003, the Orange Police Department assigned a sergeant to oversee Homeland Security efforts within the City of Orange and to act as a formal liaison with the TEWG. As more agencies throughout the County became involved, the Orange County Intelligence Assessment Center (OCIAC) was formed.
OCIAC was originally housed at the County facility at Loma Ridge; however, this location soon became too small and lacked the technological needs of the unit. As the nearby Orange City Fire Station No. 7 had vacant office space on the second floor (originally designed as a police substation to support the future Santiago Hills II expansion), the County inquired about relocating OCIAC to that location. In 2011, the City and County entered into a five-year license agreement to allow OCIAC to occupy the then-vacant office space. In October 2016, both parties entered into a new five-year license agreement herein referenced as (the “OriginalAgreement”)to allow the County to continue its City of Orange Printed on 8/4/2022Page 1 of 2

31 Item #: 3.4. 8/9/2022 File #: 22-0444
license agreement herein referenced as (the “OriginalAgreement”)to allow the County to continue its use of the space through October 19, 2021. In 2021, the County notified the City of its intent to relocate OCIAC operations and pursued a one-year extension through October 19, 2022, as documented in the First Amendment. It was agreed that there would be no cost to lease the office space as the City benefitted by having this unit in Orange as it provides additional law enforcement resources. The license agreement has the County reimbursing the City all operating costs for the utilities used as well as all tenant improvements.
The City and County now desire to amend original agreement to extend the contract term for use of the facility through October 19, 2023. The renewal is being processed for a one-year term as the County continues to relocate the OCIAC operation into another building currently in build-out. At the conclusion of the lease, the office space will revert to a multi-purpose facility operated by the Police Department for training, conferences, and community functions.

1. SUBJECT
Third Amendment to Agreement with Intratek Computer Inc., for helpdesk and desktop technical support and update on Information Technology services.
2. SUMMARY
In 2019, the City Council adopted a new service model for Information Technology services, bringing some functions in-house and maintaining some services using an outside services provider. In August 2019, the City Council approved an agreement with IntraTek Computer Inc. for helpdesk and desktop technical support. The original agreement was for three years with two optional one-year extensions. Staff is recommending that the first option year be executed, while additionally providing the City Manager with the authority to execute the final year of the extension if necessary.
3. RECOMMENDED ACTION
Approve the amendment to agreement with Intratek Computer Inc. for helpdesk and desktop technical support; and authorize the Mayor and the City Clerk to execute on behalf of the City.
4. FISCAL IMPACT
The total expenditure for this agreement is $309,613 and will be funded through Information Technology Fund (780).
5. STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS
Goal 2: Be a fiscally healthy community
a: Expend fiscal resources responsibly.
Goal 4: Provide outstanding public service
c: Enhance technology to improve public accessibility to information and services.
6. DISCUSSION AND BACKGROUND
Background
Prior to 2019, the City’s Information Technology (IT) functions were outsourced to a third-party provider. Prior to the expiration of the contract on June 30, 2019, staff began to explore options as to how to move forward with IT services. Options included renewing with the provider at that time, issuing a request for proposals (RFP) to find alternative full-service providers, bringing all IT functions in-house, or a hybrid approach in which some functions would be brought in-house, while others City of Orange Printed on 8/4/2022Page 1 of 2
powered by Legistar™
38 Item #: 3.5. 8/9/2022 File #: 22-0478
would continue to be outsourced.
The City engaged a consultant, SDI Presence, to assist in evaluating the options. As a result of that analysis, staff proposed a hybrid approach, which brought the higher-level IT functions in-house and outsourced for helpdesk and desktop support services.
Staff issued an RFP for helpdesk and desktop support services in the summer of 2019, and the City Council approved a three-year contract with Intratek Computer, Inc. (Intratek). The agreement included an option for two one-year extensions.
Current Status of IT Services
After three years of the current service model, staff is reviewing IT services provided by the IT department. This review is to ensure that the products and services provided to end users are helpful and efficient as well as providing adequate information to the City Council and the public. In support of this effort, a survey of internal customers will be conducted to determine what areas IT services is succeeding in, needs improvement in, and what tools and software are necessary to fully support the needs of the City. The results of the survey will assist in putting together an RFP for the IT Strategic Plan. Staff intends to bring a recommendation for Strategic Plan services to the City Council in the fall.
Renewal of Contract with Intratek
The City has reached the end of the initial contract term with Intratek. The IT Department staff have been satisfied with the delivery of service that has been provided by Intratek and recommends extending the agreement for the first one-year option. Meanwhile, the IT Department will continue to develop the IT strategic plan and further analysis can be completed to determine how IT services will be delivered moving forward.

Such funds may be used for Fire Department training expenses and other operational needs.
Training curriculum sponsored by the College is chosen based on the guidelines set forth by the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office (CCCCO). Curriculum is divided into several different courses that are required by Cal-OSHA and designed for large group instruction. The Fire Department utilizes subject matter experts to conduct the training to address the required material.
Training hours are recorded and the total number of hours are then calculated each semester by the Fire Department’s Training Captain and submitted as an invoice to the College.
Funds received from the College give the Fire Department the ability to pay for outside instructors when the department does not have a subject matter expert for required training. They also fund improved training aids, books, materials and equipment, as well as assisting with other operational needs beyond the Fire Department’s available fiscal year budget.
The Fire Department recently received a check for $25,748 from Rancho Santiago Community College District, which need to be appropriated into the Fire Department’s budget.

350 Orange seniors received $500 in vouchers to local restaurants for delivered meals and grocery stores. The Orange Senior Center/Orange Elderly Service (OES) was also able to expand its Meals on Wheels (MOW) program to provide meals on the weekends for its MOW participants.
On May 25, 2021, Supervisor Wagner’s Office notified the City that the Board of Supervisors approved $10 million ($2 million per District) from the American Recovery Act Program funding for an expanded food/meal gap program for seniors, persons with disabilities, and other individuals experiencing food insecurities as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Supervisor Wagner once again remitted his District 3 funds directly to the cities in his District, including the City of Orange. The City’sshare of these funds was $459,659. The City used the second round of funding to address food insecurities among seniors, families, and persons with disabilities. Together with OES and the Friendly Center, the City was able to distribute grocery store gift cards in the amount up to $1,000 to over 600 program recipients.
Discussion
Orange County Supervisor Katarina Foley recently informed the City that her office had remaining funding for Meal Gap Programs. Staff submitted a proposal to the Supervisor’sOffice for a third Meal Gap Program that would assist in meal distribution in services of the 517 W. Struck Transition Plan.
As presented to the Supervisor, the City is partnering with the local nonprofit Abound Food Care to provide two hot meals a day (breakfast and lunch) Monday through Saturday, for the unsheltered population as part of the 517 W. Struck Transition Plan. The meals provided are consistent with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) “MyPlate”guidelines to ensure that recipients receive optimal nutrition from the meals distributed. Abound Food Care also offers medically tailored meals with dietary restrictions.
Orange Home Grown Foundation (OHG) is an Orange-based nonprofit that focuses on bringing locally grown, nutrient-dense food to the community. As part of their organization, OHG operates a local Certified Farmers and Artisans Market in Orange every Saturday. Historically, OHG has worked with local food banks and non-profits to provide fresh fruits and vegetables to populations in needs, including those experiencing homelessness. With the available meal gap funding, the City proposes utilizing the funds to secure fresh fruits and vegetables from OHG’sFarmers Market and donate these to Abound Food Care for the current meal program.
Supervisor Foley’sOffice notified staff that the Supervisor would fund $10,000 towards the proposed program. Staff estimates that Abound Food Care can use the donated produce to assist with the preparation of approximately 1,000 meals in support of the 517 W. Struck Transition Plan. The City Manager executed an agreement with the County for receipt of these funds on July 14, 2022.

(1)(A) Register with the Department of Industrial Relations in the manner pr escribed by the department and pay an initial nonrefundable application fee of four hundred dollars ($400) to qualify for registration under this section and an annual renewal fee on or before July 1 of each year thereafter. The annual renewal fee shall be in a uniform amount set by the Director of Industrial Relations, and the initial registration and renewal fees may be adjusted no more than annually by the director to support the costs specified in Section 1771.3. (B) Beginning June 1, 2019, a contractor may register or renew according to this subdivision in annual increments up to three years from the date of registration. Contractors who wish to do so will be required to prepay the applicable nonrefundable application or renewal fees to qualify for the number of years for which they wish to preregister.
(2) Provide evidence, disclosures, or releases as are necessary to establish all of the following:
(A) Workers' compensation coverage that meets the requirements of Division 4 (commencing with Section 3200) and includes sufficient coverage for any worker whom the contractor employs to perform work that is subject to prevailing wage requirements other than a contractor who is separately registered under this section.

However, for purposes of this paragraph, the contractor shall not be disqualified for any judgment, order, or determinati on that is under appeal, provided that the contractor has secured the payment of any amount eventually found due through a bond or other appropriate means. (D) The contractor is not currently debarred under Section 1777.1 or under any other federal or state law providing for the debarment of contractors from public works. (E) The contractor has not bid on a public works contract, been listed in a bid proposal, or engaged in the performance of a contract for public works without being lawfully registered in accordance with this section, within the preceding 12 months or since the effective date of the requirements set forth in subdivision (e), whichever is earlier.

(2) Within 20 days following service of notice on the awarding body of a determination by the Director of Industrial Relations pursuant to Section 1773.5 or a decision by a court that the contract was for public work as defined in this chapter, the contractor and any subcontractors are registered under this section or are replaced by a contractor or subcontractors who are registered under this section. (3) The requirements of this section shall apply prospectively only to any subsequent bid, bid proposal, contract, or work performed after the awarding body is served with notice of the determination or decision referred to in paragraph (2).
(e) The requirements of this section shall apply to any bid proposal submitted on or after March 1, 2015, to any contract for public work, as defined in this chapter, executed on or after April 1, 2015, and to any work performed under a contract for public work on or after January 1, 2018, regardless of when the contract for public work was executed.

Section 1777.5. Employment of registered apprentices; wages; standards; numbe r; apprenticeable craft or trade; exemptions; contributions; compliance program
(a)(1) This chapter does not prevent the employment upon public works of properly registered apprentices who are active participants in an approved apprenticeship program. (2) For purposes of this chapter, “apprenticeship program” means a program under the jurisdiction of the California Apprenticeship Council established pursuant to Section 3070. (b)(1) Every apprentice employed upon public works shall be paid the prevailing rate of per diem wages for apprentices in the trade to which he or she is registered and shall be employed only at the work of the craft or trade to which he or she is registered.
(2) Unless otherwise provided by a collective bargaining agreement, when a contractor requests the dispatch of an apprentice pursuant to this section to perform work on a public works project and requires the apprentice to fill out an application or undergo testing, training, an examinatio n, or other preemployment process as a condition of employment, the apprentice shall be paid for the time spent on the required preemployment activity, including travel time to and from the required activity, if any, at the prevailing rate of per diem wages for apprentices in the trade to which he or she is registered. Unless otherwise provided by a collective bargaining agreement, a contractor is not required to compensate an apprentice for the time spent on preemployment activities if the apprentice is required to take a preemployment drug or alcohol test and he or she fails to pass that test.
(c) Only apprentices, as defined in Section 3077, who are in training under apprenticeship standards that have been approved by the Chief of the Division of Apprenticeship Standards and who are parties to written 134
Attachment No. 1
apprentice agreements under Chapter 4 (commencing with Section 3070) of Division 3 are eligible to be employed at the apprentice wage rate on public works. The employment and training of each apprentice shall be in accordance with either of the following:
(1) The apprenticeship standards and apprentice agreements under which he or she is training. (2) The rules and regulations of the California Apprenticeship Council. (d) If the contractor to whom the contract is awarded by the state or any political subdivision, in performing any of the work under the contract, employs workers in any apprenticeable craft or trade, the contractor shall employ apprentices in at least the ratio set forth in this section and may apply to any apprenticeship program in the craft or trade that can provide apprentices to the site of the public work for a certificate approving the contractor under the apprent iceship standards for the employment and training of apprentices in the area or industry affected. However, the decision of the apprenticeship program to approve or deny a certificate shall be subject to review by the Administrator of Apprenticeship. The apprenticeship program or programs, upon approving the contractor, shall arrange for the dispatch of apprentices to the contractor. A contractor covered by an apprenticeship program's standards shall not be required to submit any additional application i n order to include additional public works contracts under that program. “Apprenticeable craft or trade,” as used in this section, means a craft or trade determined as an apprenticeable occupation in accordance with rules and regulations prescribed by the California Apprenticeship Council. As used in this section, “contractor” includes any subcontractor under a contractor who performs any public works not excluded by subdivision (o).
(e) Before commencing work on a contract for public works, every contractor shall submit contract award information to an applicable apprenticeship program that can supply apprentices to the site of the public work.
The information submitted shall include an estimate of journeyman hours to be performed under the contract, the number of apprentices proposed to be employed, and the approximate dates the apprentices would be employed. A copy of this information shall also be submitted to the awarding body, i f requested by the awarding body. Within 60 days after concluding work on the contract, each contractor and subcontractor shall submit to the awarding body, if requested, and to the apprenticeship program a verified statement of the journeyman and apprentice hours performed on the contract. The information under this subdivision shall be public. The apprenticeship programs shall retain this information for 12 months. (f) The apprenticeship program supplying apprentices to the area of the site of the publ ic work shall ensure equal employment and affirmative action in apprenticeship for women and minorities. (g) The ratio of work performed by apprentices to journeymen employed in a particular craft or trade on the public work may be no higher than the ratio stipulated in the apprenticeship standards under which the apprenticeship program operates if the contractor agrees to be bound by those standards. However, except as otherwise provided in this section, in no case shall the ratio be less than one hour of apprentice work for every five hours of journeyman work.
(h) This ratio of apprentice work to journeyman work shall apply during any day or portion of a day when any journeyman is employed at the jobsite and shall be computed on the basis of the hours worked during the day by journeymen so employed. Any work performed by a journeyman in excess of eight hours per day or 40 hours per week shall not be used to calculate the ratio. The contractor shall employ apprentices for the number of hours computed as a bove before the end of the contract or, in the case of a subcontractor, before the end of the subcontract. However, the contractor shall endeavor, to the greatest extent possible, to employ apprentices during the same time period that the journeymen in th e same craft or trade are employed at the jobsite. When an hourly apprenticeship ratio is not feasible for a particular craft or trade, the Administrator 135
Attachment No. 1
of Apprenticeship, upon application of an apprenticeship program, may order a minimum ratio of not le ss than one apprentice for each five journeymen in a craft or trade classification. (i) A contractor covered by this section who has agreed to be covered by an apprenticeship program's standards upon the issuance of the approval certificate, or who has bee n previously approved for an apprenticeship program in the craft or trade, shall employ the number of apprentices or the ratio of apprentices to journeymen stipulated in the applicable apprenticeship standards, but in no event less than the 1 -to-5 ratio re quired by subdivision (g).
(j) Upon proper showing by a contractor that he or she employs apprentices in a particular craft or trade in the state on all of his or her contracts on an annual average of not less than one hour of apprentice work for every five hours of labor performed by journeymen, the Administrator of Apprenticeship may grant a certificate exempting the contractor from the 1-to-5 hourly ratio, as set forth in this section for that craft or trade. (k) An apprenticeship program has the discretion to grant to a participating contractor or contractor association a certificate, which shall be subject to the approval of the Administrator of Apprenticeship, exempting the contractor from the 1-to-5 ratio set forth in this section when it finds that any one of the following conditions is met:
(1) Unemployment for the previous three-month period in the area exceeds an average of 15 percent. (2) The number of apprentices in training in the area exceeds a ratio of 1 to 5. (3) There is a showing that the apprenticeable craft or trade is replacing at least one-thirtieth of its journeymen annually through apprenticeship training, either on a statewide basis or on a local basis. (4) Assignment of an apprentice to any work performed under a public works contrac t would create a condition that would jeopardize his or her life or the life, safety, or property of fellow employees or the public at large, or the specific task to which the apprentice is to be assigned is of a nature that training cannot be provided by a journeyman.
(l) If an exemption is granted pursuant to subdivision (k) to an organization that represents contractors in a specific trade from the 1-to-5 ratio on a local or statewide basis, the member contractors shall not be required to submit individu al applications for approval to local joint apprenticeship committees, if they are already covered by the local apprenticeship standards.
(m)(1) A contractor to whom a contract is awarded, who, in performing any of the work under the contract, employs journeymen or apprentices in any apprenticeable craft or trade shall contribute to the California Apprenticeship Council the same amount that the director determines is the prevailing amount of apprenticeship training contributions in the area of the public wo rks site. A contractor may take as a credit for payments to the council any amounts paid by the contractor to an approved apprenticeship program that can supply apprentices to the site of the public works project. The contractor may add the amount of the contributions in computing his or her bid for the contract. (2)(A) At the conclusion of the 2002 -03 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter, the California Apprenticeship Council shall distribute training contributions received by the council under this subdivision, less the expenses of the Department of Industrial Relations for administering this subdivision, by making grants to approved apprenticeship programs for the purpose of training apprentices. The grant funds shall be distributed as follows:
136
Attachment No. 1
(i) If there is an approved multiemployer apprenticeship program serving the same craft or trade and geographic area for which the training contributions were made to the council, a grant to that program shall be made.
(ii) If there are two or more approved multiemployer apprenticeship programs serving the same craft or trade and county for which the training contributions were made to the council, the grant shall be divided among those programs based on the number of apprentices from that county registered in each program. (iii) All training contributions not distributed under clauses (i) and (ii) shall be used to defray the future expenses of the Department of Industrial Relations for the administration and enforcement of apprenticeship and preapprenticeship standards and requirements under this code. (B) An apprenticeship program shall only be eligible to receive grant funds pursuant to this subdivision if the apprenticeship program agrees, prior to the receipt of any grant funds, to keep adequate records that document the expenditure of grant funds and to make all records available to the Department of Industrial Relations so that the Department of Industrial Relations is able to verify that grant funds were used s olely for training apprentices. For purposes of this subparagraph, adequate records include, but are not limited to, invoices, receipts, and canceled checks that account for the expenditure of grant funds. This subparagraph shall not be deemed to require an apprenticeship program to provide the Department of Industrial Relations with more documentation than is necessary to verify the appropriate expenditure of grant funds made pursuant to this subdivision.
(C) The Department of Industrial Relations shall verify that grants made pursuant to this subdivision are used solely to fund training apprentices. If an apprenticeship program is unable to demonstrate how grant funds are expended or if an apprenticeship program is found to be using grant funds for purposes other than training apprentices, then the apprenticeship program shall not be eligible to receive any future grant pursuant to this subdivision and the Department of Industrial Relations may initiate the process to rescind the registration of the apprenticeship program.
(3) All training contributions received pursuant to this subdivision shall be deposited in the Apprenticeship Training Contribution Fund, which is hereby created in the State Treasury. Upon appropriation by the Legislature, all moneys in the Apprenticeship Training Contribution Fund shall be used for the purpose of carrying out this subdivision and to pay the expenses of the Department of Industrial Relations. (n) The body awarding the contract shall cause to be inserted in the contract stipulations to effectuate th is section. The stipulations shall fix the responsibility of compliance with this section for all apprenticeable occupations with the prime contractor.
(o) This section does not apply to contracts of general contractors or to contracts of specialty contra ctors not bidding for work through a general or prime contractor when the contracts of general contractors or those specialty contractors involve less than thirty thousand dollars ($30,000). (p) An awarding body that implements an approved labor compliance program in accordance with subdivision (b) of Section 1771.5 may, with the approval of the director, assist in the enforcement of this section under the terms and conditions prescribed by the director.
Section 1813. Forfeiture for violations; contract stipulation; report of violations
The contractor or subcontractor shall, as a penalty to the state or political subdivision on whose behalf the contract is made or awarded, forfeit twenty- five dollars ($25) for each worker employed in the execution of 137

In awarding any contract f or public work, the awarding body shall cause to be inserted in the contract a stipulation to this effect. The awarding body shall take cognizance of all violations of this article committed in the course of the execution of the contract, and shall report them to the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement.
Section 1815. Overtime
Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 1810 to 1814, inclusive, of this code, and notwithstanding any stipulation inserted in any contract pursuant to the requirements of sa id sections, work performed by employees of contractors in excess of 8 hours per day, and 40 hours during any one week, shall be permitted upon public work upon compensation for all hours worked in excess of 8 h ours per day at not less than 1 ½ times the basic rate of pay.
