1. SUBJECT
Agreements with the California Department of Health Care Services and CalOptima for a one-time Intergovernmental Transfer.

2. SUMMARY
A request for City Council approval to participate in a one-time Intergovernmental Transfer for the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2022, to access additional Federal Medicaid dollars to support unreimbursed care.

3. RECOMMENDED ACTION

1. Approve agreements with the California Department of Health Care Services and CalOptima in the amount of $659,183, representing $549,319 in unreimbursed Medicare revenue plus a $109,863 administration fee, for a one-time Intergovernmental Transfer, and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute on behalf of the City.

2. Authorize the transfer of $ 659,183 of reimbursable funds to the California Department of Health Care Services.

4. FISCAL IMPACT
Reimbursable funds of $659,183 will be advanced to obtain previously unreimbursed Medicaid revenue of approximately $549,319. Funds are available in the General Fund (100).

5. STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS
Goal 1: Provide for a Safe Community
b: Provide and maintain infrastructure necessary to ensure the safety of the public.

Goal 2: Be a Fiscally Healthy Community
a: Expend fiscal resources responsibly.

6. DISCUSSION AND BACKGROUND
An Intergovernmental Transfer (IGT) allows California’s Medi-Cal managed care plans to partner with local units of government to access additional federal Medicaid dollars and use them to support unreimbursed care and provide health care services. Since the City provides ambulance transport services and has unreimbursed Medicaid expenses, it became eligible to participate in the IGT program in Fiscal Year 2014-2015 (FY15). Currently, the University of California, Irvine (UCI), the City of Newport Beach, and the City of Orange are participants. The following is a breakdown of the net City of Orange Page 1 of 3 Printed on 11/9/2023

Item #: 3.9. 11/14/2023 File #: 23-0759
of Newport Beach, and the City of Orange are participants. The following is a breakdown of the net revenue received to date:

Fiscal Year Net Revenue Received
2017 $ 140,398
2018 $ 333,657
2019 $ 472,145
2020 $ 478,483
2021 $ 501,481
2022 $ 244,011
2023 $828,965
Provisions of the IGT require the City to transfer an amount representing 50% of unreimbursed CalOptima patient charges (the IGT amount) to the California State Department of Health Services (DHCS). The City also remits an administrative fee equal to 20% of the IGT amount. DHCS uses the original IGT amount to access the Federal government’s highest allowable Medi-Cal reimbursement rate, enabling them to draw down additional Federal funds on behalf of the City. Upon reimbursement from the Federal government, Cal Optima reimburses the City the original IGT amount, the 20% administration fee, and 50% of the additional reimbursement revenue (the maximum allowed recovery amount under the program). The amount received is based on the rate range and the number of CalOptima providers.

While ultimate funding is not guaranteed, DHCS again reached out to the City to participate in the program for Calendar Year (CY) 22. The details of the City’s participation are as follows:

executed:
1) Intergovernmental Agreement regarding transfer of public funds between the City and DHCS; and
2) Health Plan-Provider Agreement between the City and CalOptima.

Approximate Timeframe for IGT participation:

October 2023: CalOptima advised DHCS the City will be participating in the IGT program at a funding level of $549,319.

November 2023: Agreements will be signed and submitted to DHCS for their review and approval.

January 2024: City will receive an invoice from DHCS for $549,319 representing estimated unreimbursed Medicaid expenses for the twelve months ending December 31, 2022 with a payment deadline of February 16, 2024.

After payment is received DHCS will send the additional revenue to CalOptima for disbursement.

CalOptima will distribute an estimated amount of $1,208,502 back to the City within the 30 days specified in the Provider Agreement, of which $439,455 is the estimated net revenue to the City.

Specifics of this IGT participation require additional monies received to be used for transport services. Allowable expenditures include salaries for transport personnel, related materials and supplies, and capital expenses. While there are no specific guidelines or obligations, the additional revenue received should be used within a year after receipt. There are no guarantees that future monies for reimbursement will be available; as such, this revenue should be viewed as one-time funding only. Although funding is not guaranteed, successful participation in each of the program years did net the City supplementary revenue, and staff recommends the City seek this additional reimbursement.

INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT REGARDING

TRANSFER OF PUBLIC FUNDS
This Agreement is entered into between the CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH CARE SERVICES (“DHCS”) and CITY OF ORANGE (“GOVERNMENTAL FUNDING ENTITY”) with respect to the matters set forth below.

The parties agree as follows:

AGREEMENT

1. Transfer of Public Funds

1.1 The GOVERNMENTAL FUNDING ENTITY agrees to make a transfer of funds to DHCS pursuant to sections 14164 and 14301.4 of the Welfare and Institutions Code.

The amount transferred shall be based on the sum of the applicable rate category per member per month (“PMPM”) contribution increments multiplied by member months, as reflected in Exhibit

1. The GOVERNMENTAL FUNDING ENTITY agrees to initially transfer amounts that are calculated using the Estimated Member Months in Exhibit 1, which will be reconciled to actual enrollment for the service period of January 1, 2022, through December 31, 2022 in accordance with Sub-Section 1.3 of this Agreement. The funds transferred shall be used as described in SubSection 2.2 of this Agreement. The funds shall be transferred in accordance with the terms and conditions, including schedule and amount, established by DHCS.

1.2 The GOVERNMENTAL FUNDING ENTITY shall certify that the funds transferred qualify for Federal Financial Participation pursuant to 42 C.F.R. part 433, subpart B, and are not derived from impermissible sources such as recycled Medicaid payments, Federal money excluded from use as State match, impermissible taxes, and non-bona fide provider830 CONTRACT # IGT-22-0011
2 Template Version - 10/2023
related donations. Impermissible sources do not include patient care or other revenue received from programs such as Medicare or Medicaid to the extent that the program revenue is not obligated to the State as the source of funding.

1.3 DHCS shall reconcile the “Estimated Member Months,” in Exhibit 1, to actual enrollment in HEALTH PLAN(S) for the service period of January 1, 2022, through December 31, 2022 using actual enrollment figures taken from DHCS records. Enrollment reconciliation will occur on an ongoing basis as updated enrollment figures become available.

Actual enrollment figures will be considered final two years after December 31, 2022. If reconciliation results in an increase to the total amount necessary to fund the nonfederal share of the payments described in Sub-Section 2.2, the GOVERNMENTAL FUNDING ENTITY agrees to transfer any additional funds necessary to cover the difference. If reconciliation results in a decrease to the total amount necessary to fund the nonfederal share of the payments described in Sub-Section 2.2, DHCS agrees to return the unexpended funds to the GOVERNMENTAL FUNDING ENTITY. If DHCS and the GOVERNMENTAL FUNDING ENTITY mutually agree, amounts due to or owed by the GOVERNMENTAL FUNDING ENTITY may be offset against future transfers.

2. Acceptance and Use of Transferred Funds

2.1 DHCS shall exercise its authority under section 14164 of the Welfare and Institutions Code to accept funds transferred by the GOVERNMENTAL FUNDING ENTITY pursuant to this Agreement as Intergovernmental Transfer (IGTs), to use for the purpose set forth in Sub-Section 2.2.

2.2 The funds transferred by the GOVERNMENTAL FUNDING ENTITY pursuant to Section 1 and Exhibit 1 of this Agreement shall be used to fund the non-federal share 831
CONTRACT # IGT-22-0011
3 Template Version - 10/2023
of Medi-Cal Managed Care actuarially sound capitation rates described in section 14301.4(b)(4) of the Welfare and Institutions Code as reflected in the contribution PMPM and rate categories reflected in Exhibit 1. The funds transferred shall be paid, together with the related Federal Financial Participation, by DHCS to HEALTH PLAN(S) as part of HEALTH PLAN(S)’ capitation rates for the service period of January 1, 2022, through December 31, 2022, in accordance with section 14301.4 of the Welfare and Institutions Code.

2.3 DHCS shall seek Federal Financial Participation for the capitation rates specified in Sub-Section 2.2 to the full extent permitted by federal law.

2.4 The parties acknowledge that DHCS will obtain any necessary approvals from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

2.5 DHCS shall not direct HEALTH PLAN(S)’ expenditure of the payments received pursuant to Sub-Section 2.2.

3. Assessment Fee

3.1 DHCS shall exercise its authority under section 14301.4 of the Welfare and Institutions Code to assess a 20 percent fee related to the amounts transferred pursuant to Section 1 of this Agreement, except as provided in Sub-Section 3.2. GOVERNMENTAL FUNDING ENTITY agrees to pay the full amount of that assessment in addition to the funds transferred pursuant to Section 1 of this Agreement.

3.2 The 20-percent assessment fee shall not be applied to any portion of funds transferred pursuant to Section 1 that are exempt in accordance with sections 14301.4(d) or 14301.5(b)(4) of the Welfare and Institutions Code. DHCS shall have sole discretion to determine the amount of the funds transferred pursuant to Section 1 that will not be subject to a 832
CONTRACT # IGT-22-0011
4 Template Version - 10/2023
20 percent fee. DHCS has determined that $ 0.00 of the transfer amounts, as shown in the table below, will not be assessed a 20 percent fee, subject to Sub-Section 3.3.

3.3 The 20-percent assessment fee pursuant to this Agreement is nonrefundable and shall be wired to DHCS simultaneously with the transfer amounts made under Section 1 of this Agreement. If at the time of the reconciliation performed pursuant to SubSection 1.3 of this Agreement, there is a change in the amount transferred that is subject to the 20-percent assessment in accordance with Sub-Section 3.1, then a proportional adjustment to the assessment fee will be made.

4. Amendments

4.1 No amendment or modification to this Agreement shall be binding on either party unless made in writing and executed by both parties.

4.2 The parties shall negotiate in good faith to amend this Agreement as necessary and appropriate to implement the requirements set forth in Section 2 of this Agreement.

st day of November, 2023, by and CALOPTIMA HEALTH,
a California public agency hereinafter referred to as "PLAN", and the City of Orange, a California municipal corporation operating through its Fire Department, hereinafter referred to as "PROVIDER".

RECITALS:

WHEREAS, PLAN is a public agency formed pursuant to California Welfare and Institutions Code Section 14087.54 and Orange County Ordinance No. 3896 as amended by Ordinance Nos. 00-8, 05-008, 06-012, 09-001, 11-013, 14-002 and 16-001, and is party to a MediCal managed care contract with DHCS, entered into pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code Section 14087.3, under which PLAN arranges and pays for the provision of covered Medi-Cal health care services to eligible Medi-Cal members residing in Orange County; WHEREAS, the City of Orange is an emergency transport provider who provides transportation on a non-contract basis, including to CalOptima Health Medi-Cal Members; WHEREAS, PLAN and PROVIDER desire to enter into this Agreement to provide for Medi-Cal managed care capitation rate increases to PLAN as a result of intergovernmental transfers (“IGTs”) from the City of Orange (GOVERNMENTAL FUNDING ENTITY) to the California Department of Health Care Services (“State DHCS”) to maintain the availability of Medi-Cal health care services to Medi-Cal beneficiaries.

NOW, THEREFORE, PLAN and PROVIDER hereby agree as follows:

IGT MEDI-CAL MANAGED CARE CAPITATION RATE RANGE INCREASES

1. IGT Capitation Rate Range Increases to PLAN
A. Payment
Should PLAN receive any Medi-Cal managed care capitation rate increases from State DHCS where the nonfederal share is funded by the GOVERNMENTAL FUNDING ENTITY specifically pursuant to the provisions of the Intergovernmental Agreement Regarding Transfer of Public Funds, #IGT-22-0011, (“Intergovernmental Agreement”) effective for the period of and January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022 for Intergovernmental Transfer MediCal Managed Care Rate Range Increases (“IGT MMCRRIs”), PLAN shall pay to PROVIDER the amount of the IGT MMCRRIsreceived from State DHCS, in accordance with paragraph 1.E below regarding the form and timing of Local Medi-Cal Managed Care Rate Range (“LMMCRR”) IGT Payments. LMMCRR IGT Payments paid to PROVIDER shall not replace or supplant any other amounts paid or payable to PROVIDER by PLAN.
838
2 B. Health Plan Retention
(1) PLAN shall retain two percent (2.0%) of the net proceeds (after reimbursing PROVIDER’s initial contribution for the transaction), from the Medi-Cal managed care rate increases paid to PLAN by DHCS as described in this agreement prior to disbursing LMMCRR IGT Payments to PROVIDER. The retained funds will be expended by PLAN for Covered Services under PLAN’s contract with DHCS for Medi-Cal, in either the State fiscal year received, or in subsequent State fiscal years, as appropriated by the CalOptima Health Board of Directors.

Each provider’s share of the retained funds shall be calculated based on the provider’s proportionate share of the LMMCRR IGT payment made by PLAN in Orange County.

The amounts referenced in this agreement are estimates. The parties understand and agree that the total amount of the Medi-Cal managed care capitation rate increases paid by DHCS to PLAN may fluctuate as a result of enrollment. The parties further understand and agree that any such fluctuations will likewise affect the amount to be retained by the PLAN and the amount payable to PROVIDER by the same percentage as the variance in the capitation rate increases, if any.
(2) PLAN will not retain any other portion of the IGT MMCRRIs received from the State DHCS other than those mentioned above.

C. Conditions for Receiving Local Medi-Cal Managed Care Rate Range IGT Payments
As a condition for receiving LMMCRR IGT Payments, PROVIDER shall, as of the date the particular LMMCRR IGT Payment is due:
(1) continue to provide emergency transport services to PLAN Members promptly and in a manner which ensures access to care consistent with PROVIDER’s regular business practices for providing such services; and
(2) not discriminate against PLAN Members or in any way impose limitations on the acceptance of PLAN Members for care or treatment that are not imposed on other patients of PROVIDER.

D. Schedule and Notice of Transfer of Non-Federal Funds (1) PROVIDER shall provide PLAN with a copy of the schedule regarding the transfer of funds to State DHCS referred to in the Intergovernmental Transfer Agreement within fifteen (15) calendar days of establishing such schedule with State DHCS. Additionally, PROVIDER shall notify PLAN, in writing, no less than seven (7) calendar days prior to any changes to an existing schedule, including but not limited to, changes to the amounts specified therein.
(2) PROVIDER shall provide PLAN with written notice of the amount and date of the transfer within seven (7) calendar days after funds have been transferred to State DHCS for use as the nonfederal share of any IGT MMCRRIs.
839
3 E. Form and Timing of Payments
PLAN agrees to pay LMMCRR IGT Payments to PROVIDER in the following form and according to the following schedule:
(1) PLAN agrees to pay the LMMCRR IGT Payments to PROVIDER using the same mechanism through which compensation and payments are normally paid to PROVIDER (e.g., electronic transfer).
(2) PLAN will pay the LMMCRR IGT Payments to PROVIDER no later than thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of the IGT MMCRRIs from State DHCS.

F. Consideration
(1) As consideration for the LMMCRR IGT Payments, PROVIDER shall use the LMMCRR IGT Payments for the following purposes and shall treat the LMMCRR IGT Payments in the following manner:
(a) The LMMCRR IGT Payments shall represent compensation for emergency ambulance services rendered to Medi-Cal PLAN members by PROVIDER between January 1, 2022, and December 31, 2022, and shall be used by PROVIDER solely to fund the costs that exceed the fee-for-service rates paid by Medi-Cal PLAN for covered services provided to Medi-Cal PLAN Members during that period.
(b) To the extent that total payments received by PROVIDER for any State fiscal year under this Agreement exceed the cost of Covered Services provided to Medi-Cal PLAN members by PROVIDER during that fiscal year, any remaining LMMCRR IGT Payment amounts shall constitute an overpayment, and shall by returned to Medi-Cal PLAN pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.K., below
(2) Both parties agree that none of these funds, either from the GOVERNMENTAL FUNDING ENTITY or federal matching funds will be recycled back to the GOVERNMENTAL FUNDING ENTITY’S general fund, the State, or any other intermediary organization. Payments made by the health plan to providers under the terms of this Agreement constitute patient care revenues.

G. PLAN’s Oversight Responsibilities
PLAN’s oversight responsibilities regarding PROVIDER’s use of the LMMCRR IGT Payments shall be limited as described in this paragraph. PLAN shall request, within thirty (30) calendar days after the end of each State fiscal year in which LMMCRR IGT Payments were transferred to PROVIDER, a written confirmation that states whether and how PROVIDER complied with the provisions set forth in Paragraph 1.F above. In each instance, PROVIDER shall provide PLAN with written confirmation of compliance within thirty (30) calendar days of PLAN’s request.
840
4 H. Cooperation Among Parties
Should disputes or disagreements arise regarding the ultimate computation or appropriateness of any aspect of the LMMCRR IGT Payments, PROVIDER and PLAN agree to work together in all respects to support and preserve the LMMCRR IGT Payments to the full extent possible on behalf of the safety net in Orange County.

I. Reconciliation
Within one hundred twenty (120) calendar days after the end of each of PLAN’s fiscal years in which LMMCRR IGT Payments were made to PROVIDER, PLAN shall perform a reconciliation of the LMMCRR IGT Payments transmitted to the PROVIDER during the preceding fiscal year to ensure that the supporting amount of IGT MMCRRIs were received by PLAN from State DHCS. PROVIDER agrees to return to PLAN any overpayment of LMMCRR IGT Payments made in error to PROVIDER within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt from PLAN of a written notice of the overpayment error, unless PROVIDER submits a written objection to PLAN. Any such objection shall be resolved in accordance with the dispute resolution process set forth in Section 1.H. The reconciliation processes established under this paragraph are distinct from the indemnification provisions set forth in Paragraph 1.J below. PLAN agrees to transmit to the PROVIDER any underpayment of LMMCRR IGT Payments within thirty (30) calendar days of PLAN’s identification of such underpayment.

J. Indemnification
PROVIDER agrees to and acknowledges the following: (1) PLAN has no obligation to make any payments hereunder until PLAN has received IGT MMCRRIs from State DHCS; (2) that PLAN is not responsible for State DHCS payments to PLAN, including any mathematical calculations made by DHCS, and (3) PLAN is not responsible for the timing of the payments from DHCS to PLAN (including the conditions precedent to the timing of such payments which includes the timing of DHCS submission to CMS and/or CMS review and approval). In addition, PLAN and PROVIDER agree and acknowledge that nothing herein is intended to create an obligation on the part of PLAN to agree to delays in capitation payment(s) from DHCS in order to accommodate this IGT.

K. Overpayments and CalOptima Health Right to Recover
PROVIDER has an obligation to report any overpayment identified by PROVIDER, and to repay such overpayment to CalOptima Health within sixty (60) days of such identification by PROVIDER, or of receipt of notice of an overpayment identified by CalOptima Health. PROVIDER acknowledges and agrees that, in the event that CalOptima Health determines that an amount has been overpaid or paid in duplicate, or that funds were paid which were not due under this Contract to PROVIDER, CalOptima Health shall have the right to recover such amounts from PROVIDER by recoupment or offset from current or future amounts due from CalOptima Health to PROVIDER, after giving notice and an opportunity to return/pay such amounts. This right to recoupment or offset shall extend to any amounts due from PROVIDER to CalOptima Health, including, but not limited to, amounts due because of overpayments as described in the provisions of this agreement.
841
5 2. Term
The term of this agreement shall commence on January 1, 2022 and shall terminate on June 30, 2025.

1. SUBJECT
Award of Sourcewell Contract to Horizons Construction Company International, Inc. for the gas line replacement at the El Modena Library; and finding of CEQA exemption.

2. SUMMARY
Award Horizons Construction Company International, Inc., a construction contract for the gas line replacement at the El Modena Library (SP-4273).

3. RECOMMENDED ACTION
Approve a Sourcewell contract with Horizons Construction Company International, Inc. in the amount of $49,134 for the gas line replacement at El Modena Library; and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute on behalf of the City.

4. FISCAL IMPACT
The total expenditure including a 15% contingency for this project is $49,134 and will be funded through Capital Projects Fund 500.5028.56020.19809, City Facility Improvements.

5. STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS
Goal 1: Provide for a safe community
b: Provide and maintain infrastructure necessary to ensure the safety of the public.

Goal 4: Provide outstanding public service
b: Provide facilities and services to meet customer expectations.

6. DISCUSSION AND BACKGROUND
The El Modena Library has served the community as a branch library since 1978. Over the years, the library’s gas line has experienced wear and tear, resulting in inefficiencies and safety concerns, ultimately leading to Southern California Gas Company shutting it down earlier this year. This deterioration also negatively impacts the HVAC system's performance, causing inconsistent heating in the library.

To hire a skilled contractor to replace the failed gas line at a reasonable cost, staff reached out to many vendors and utilized several procurement strategies. Staff collaborated with Gordian EzIQC's project coordinator to develop the scope of work for the gas line using a Sourcewell contractor. This method of procurement is a cooperative purchasing arrangement that several government agencies use to minimize costs and staff resource impacts. By using Sourcewell, a public agency that City of Orange Page 1 of 2 Printed on 11/8/2023
powered by Legistar™856
Item #: 3.13. 11/14/2023 File #: 23-0691
use to minimize costs and staff resource impacts. By using Sourcewell, a public agency that competitively bids on construction tasks, specifications, materials, equipment, and labor costs, the City can access highly qualified specialty contractors and lower overall capital costs. The City of Orange is a member of Sourcewell and has used the cooperative agreements procurement process.

After careful consideration, Horizons Construction Co. Int’l, Inc. (Contract No. CA-R8-GB01-123021- HCC) has been recommended by staff for the project. The proposed price has been reviewed and deemed fair and reasonable, consistent with established unit prices outlined in the contract with Sourcewell. The contractor's proposal for the scheduled work comes in at $42,725. However, staff recognizes that unforeseen work and services may be necessary for the project. Therefore, in anticipation of such contingencies, an additional $6,409 (15%) has been added to the initial sum, bringing the total cost to $49,134.

Construction is scheduled to begin in November 2023 and is expected to be completed within one month, including the procurement of materials. The specifications and cost proposals are available for review at the Public Works Department.

7. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Categorical Exemption: The proposed project is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per State CEQA Guidelines 15302 (Class 2 (c) - Replacement or Reconstruction) because the project involves replacing 230 linear feet of a 2-inch gas line segment at the El Modena Library parking lot to comply with current industry standards. No public review is required.

Goal 4: Provide outstanding public service
b: Provide facilities and services to meet customer expectations.

6. DISCUSSION AND BACKGROUND
The El Modena Library has served the community as a branch library since 1978. Over the years, the library’s gas line has experienced wear and tear, resulting in inefficiencies and safety concerns, ultimately leading to Southern California Gas Company shutting it down earlier this year. This deterioration also negatively impacts the HVAC system's performance, causing inconsistent heating in the library.

To hire a skilled contractor to replace the failed gas line at a reasonable cost, staff reached out to many vendors and utilized several procurement strategies. Staff collaborated with Gordian EzIQC's project coordinator to develop the scope of work for the gas line using a Sourcewell contractor. This method of procurement is a cooperative purchasing arrangement that several government agencies use to minimize costs and staff resource impacts. By using Sourcewell, a public agency that City of Orange Page 1 of 2 Printed on 11/8/2023

Item #: 3.13. 11/14/2023 File #: 23-0691
use to minimize costs and staff resource impacts. By using Sourcewell, a public agency that competitively bids on construction tasks, specifications, materials, equipment, and labor costs, the City can access highly qualified specialty contractors and lower overall capital costs. The City of Orange is a member of Sourcewell and has used the cooperative agreements procurement process.

After careful consideration, Horizons Construction Co. Int’l, Inc. (Contract No. CA-R8-GB01-123021- HCC) has been recommended by staff for the project. The proposed price has been reviewed and deemed fair and reasonable, consistent with established unit prices outlined in the contract with Sourcewell. The contractor's proposal for the scheduled work comes in at $42,725. However, staff recognizes that unforeseen work and services may be necessary for the project. Therefore, in anticipation of such contingencies, an additional $6,409 (15%) has been added to the initial sum, bringing the total cost to $49,134.

Construction is scheduled to begin in November 2023 and is expected to be completed within one month, including the procurement of materials. The specifications and cost proposals are available for review at the Public Works Department.

7. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Categorical Exemption: The proposed project is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per State CEQA Guidelines 15302 (Class 2 (c) - Replacement or Reconstruction) because the project involves replacing 230 linear feet of a 2-inch gas line segment at the El Modena Library parking lot to comply with current industry standards. No public review is required.

(B) If applicable, the contractor is licensed in accordance with Chapter 9 (commencing with Section 7000) of the Business and Professions Code.
(C) The contractor does not have any delinquent liability to an employee or the state for any assessment of back wages or related damages, interest, fines, or penalties pursuant to any final judgment, order, or determination by a court or any federal, state, or local administrative agency, including a confirmed arbitration award. However, for purposes of this paragraph, the contractor shall not be disqualified for any judgment, order, or determination 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. If a contractor is found to be in violation of the requirements of this paragraph, the period of disqualification shall be waived if both of the following are true:

(c) A contractor who fails to pay the renewal fee required under paragraph (1) of subdivision (a) on or before the expiration of any prior period of registration shall be prohibited from bidding on or engaging in the performance of any contract for public work until once again registered pursuant to this section. If the failure to pay the renewal fee was inadvertent, the contractor may renew its registration retroactively by paying an additional nonrefundable penalty renewal fee equal to the amount of the renewal fee within 90 days of the due date of the renewal fee.
(d) If, after a body awarding a contract accepts the contractor's bid or awards the contract, the work covered by the bid or contract is determined to be a public work to which Section 1771 applies, either as the result of a determination by the director pursuant to Section 1773.5 or a court decision, the requirements of this section shall not apply, subject to the following requirements:
(1) The body that awarded the contract failed, in the bid specification or in the contract documents, to identify as a public work that portion of the work that the determination or decision subsequently classifies as a public work.
(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 1771.1. Registration as a contractor or subcontractor required prior to bid submission; exceptions; violations; penalties
(a) A contractor or subcontractor shall not 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, as defined in this chapter, unless currently registered and qualified to perform public work pursuant to Section 1725.5. It is not a violation of this section for an unregistered contractor to submit a bid that is authorized by Section 7029.1 of the Business and Professions Code or by Section 10164 or 20103.5 of the Public Contract Code, provided the contractor is registered to perform public work pursuant to Section 1725.5 at the time the contract is awarded.
(b) Notice of the requirement described in subdivision (a) shall be included in all bid invitations and public works contracts, and a bid shall not be accepted nor any contract or subcontract entered into without proof of the contractor or subcontractor's current registration to perform public work pursuant to Section 1725.5. (c) An inadvertent error in listing a subcontractor who is not registered pursuant to Section 1725.5 in a bid proposal shall not be grounds for filing a bid protest or grounds for considering the bid nonresponsive, provided that any of the following apply:
(1) The subcontractor is registered prior to the bid opening. (2) Within 24 hours after the bid opening, the subcontractor is registered and has paid the penalty registration fee specified in subparagraph (E) of paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 1725.5. (3) The subcontractor is replaced by another registered subcontractor pursuant to Section 4107 of the Public Contract Code.
(d) Failure by a subcontractor to be registered to perform public work as required by subdivision (a) shall be grounds under Section 4107 of the Public Contract Code for the contractor, with the consent of the awarding authority, to substitute a subcontractor who is registered to perform public work pursuant to Section 1725.5 in place of the unregistered subcontractor.
(e) The department shall maintain on its Internet Web site a list of contractors who are currently registered to perform public work pursuant to Section 1725.5.
(f) A contract entered into with any contractor or subcontractor in violation of subdivision (a) shall be subject to cancellation, provided that a contract for public work shall not be unlawful, void, or voidable solely due to the failure of the awarding body, contractor, or any subcontractor to comply with the requirements of Section 1725.5 or this section.
(g) If the Labor Commissioner or his or her designee determines that a contractor or subcontractor engaged in the performance of any public work contract without having been registered in accordance with this section, the contractor or subcontractor shall forfeit, as a civil penalty to the state, one hundred dollars ($100) for each day of work performed in violation of the registration requirement, not to exceed an aggregate penalty of eight thousand dollars ($8,000) in addition to any penalty registration fee assessed pursuant to clause (ii) of subparagraph (E) of paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 1725.5. (h)(1) In addition to, or in lieu of, any other penalty or sanction authorized pursuant to this chapter, a higher tiered public works contractor or subcontractor who is found to have entered into a subcontract with an unregistered lower tier subcontractor to perform any public work in violation of the requirements of Section 1725.5 or this section shall be subject to forfeiture, as a civil penalty to the state, of one hundred dollars ($100) 875
Attachment No. 1

Page 4 of 13 ends

for each day the unregistered lower tier subcontractor performs work in violation of the registration requirement, not to exceed an aggregate penalty of ten thousand dollars ($10,000). (2) The Labor Commissioner shall use the same standards specified in subparagraph (A) of paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 1775 when determining the severity of the violation and what penalty to assess, and may waive the penalty for a first time violation that was unintentional and did not hinder the Labor Commissioner's ability to monitor and enforce compliance with the requirements of this chapter. (3) A higher tiered public works contractor or subcontractor shall not be liable for penalties assessed pursuant to paragraph (1) if the lower tier subcontractor's performance is in violation of the requirements of Section 1725.5 due to the revocation of a previously approved registration. (4) A subcontractor shall not be liable for any penalties assessed against a higher tiered public works contractor or subcontractor pursuant to paragraph (1). A higher tiered public works contractor or subcontractor may not require a lower tiered subcontractor to indemnify or otherwise be liable for any penalties pursuant to paragraph (1).
(i) The Labor Commissioner or his or her designee shall issue a civil wage and penalty assessment, in accordance with the provisions of Section 1741, upon determination of penalties pursuant to subdivision (g) and subparagraph (B) of paragraph (1) of subdivision (h). Review of a civil wage and penalty assessment issued under this subdivision may be requested in accordance with the provisions of Section 1742. The regulations of the Director of Industrial Relations, which govern proceedings for review of civil wage and penalty assessments and the withholding of contract payments under Article 1 (commencing with Section 1720) and Article 2 (commencing with Section 1770), shall apply. (j)(1) Where a contractor or subcontractor engages in the performance of any public work contract without having been registered in violation of the requirements of Section 1725.5 or this section, the Labor Commissioner shall issue and serve a stop order prohibiting the use of the unregistered contractor or the unregistered subcontractor on all public works until the unregistered contractor or unregistered subcontractor is registered. The stop order shall not apply to work by registered contractors or subcontractors on the public work.
(2) A stop order may be personally served upon the contractor or subcontractor by either of the following methods:
(A) Manual delivery of the order to the contractor or subcontractor personally. (B) Leaving signed copies of the order with the person who is apparently in charge at the site of the public work and by thereafter mailing copies of the order by first class mail, postage prepaid to the contractor or subcontractor at one of the following:
(i) The address of the contractor or subcontractor on file with either the Secretary of State or the Contractors' State License Board.
(ii) If the contractor or subcontractor has no address on file with the Secretary of State or the Contractors' State License Board, the address of the site of the public work. (3) The stop order shall be effective immediately upon service and shall be subject to appeal by the party contracting with the unregistered contractor or subcontractor, by the unregistered contractor or subcontractor, or both. The appeal, hearing, and any further review of the hearing decision shall be governed by the procedures, time limits, and other requirements specified in subdivision (a) of Section 238.1. 876
Attachment No. 1

(4) Any employee of an unregistered contractor or subcontractor who is affected by a work stoppage ordered by the commissioner pursuant to this subdivision shall be paid at his or her regular hourly prevailing wage rate by that employer for any hours the employee would have worked but for the work stoppage, not to exceed 10 days.
(k) Failure of a contractor or subcontractor, owner, director, officer, or managing agent of the contractor or subcontractor to observe a stop order issued and served upon him or her pursuant to subdivision (j) is guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment in county jail not exceeding 60 days or by a fine not exceeding ten thousand dollars ($10,000), or both.
(l) This section shall apply to any bid proposal submitted on or after March 1, 2015, and any contract for public work entered into on or after April 1, 2015. This section shall also apply to the performance of any public work, as defined in this chapter, on or after January 1, 2018, regardless of when the contract for public work was entered.
(m) Penalties received pursuant to this section shall be deposited in the State Public Works Enforcement Fund established by Section 1771.3 and shall be used only for the purposes specified in that section. (n) This section shall not apply to work performed on a public works project of twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) or less when the project is for construction, alteration, demolition, installation, or repair work or to work performed on a public works project of fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000) or less when the project is for maintenance work.

Section 1771.4. Additional requirements when bidding and awarding public works contracts (a) All of the following are applicable to all public works projects that are otherwise subject to the requirements of this chapter:
(1) The call for bids and contract documents shall specify that the project is subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the Department of Industrial Relations. (2) The awarding body shall post or require the prime contractor to post job site notices, as prescribed by regulation.
(3) Each contractor and subcontractor shall furnish the records specified in Section 1776 directly to the Labor Commissioner, in the following manner:

(4) If the contractor or subcontractor is not registered pursuant to Section 1725.5 and is performing work on a project for which registration is not required because of subdivision (f) of Section 1725.5, the unregistered contractor or subcontractor is not required to furnish the records specified in Section 1776 directly to the Labor Commissioner but shall retain the records specified in Section 1776for at least three years after completion of the work.
(5) The department shall undertake those activities it deems necessary to monitor and enforce compliance with prevailing wage requirements.

(d) The requirements of paragraph (3) of subdivision (a) shall apply to all contracts for public work, whether new or ongoing, on or after January 1, 2016.

Section 1775. Penalties for violations
(a)(1) The contractor and any subcontractor under the contractor shall, as a penalty to the state or political subdivision on whose behalf the contract is made or awarded, forfeit not more than two hundred dollars ($200) for each calendar day, or portion thereof, for each worker paid less than the prevailing wage rates as determined by the director for the work or craft in which the worker is employed for any public work done under the contract by the contractor or, except as provided in subdivision (b), by any subcontractor under the contractor.
(2)(A) The amount of the penalty shall be determined by the Labor Commissioner based on consideration of both of the following:
(i) Whether the failure of the contractor or subcontractor to pay the correct rate of per diem wages was a good faith mistake and, if so, the error was promptly and voluntarily corrected when brought to the attention of the contractor or subcontractor.
(ii) Whether the contractor or subcontractor has a prior record of failing to meet its prevailing wage obligations.
(B)(i) The penalty may not be less than forty dollars ($40) for each calendar day, or portion thereof, for each worker paid less than the prevailing wage rate, unless the failure of the contractor or subcontractor to pay the correct rate of per diem wages was a good faith mistake and, if so, the error was promptly and voluntarily corrected when brought to the attention of the contractor or subcontractor. (ii) The penalty may not be less than eighty dollars ($80) for each calendar day, or portion thereof, for each worker paid less than the prevailing wage rate, if the contractor or subcontractor has been assessed penalties within the previous three years for failing to meet its prevailing wage obligations on a separate contract, unless those penalties were subsequently withdrawn or overturned. (iii) The penalty may not be less than one hundred twenty dollars ($120) for each calendar day, or portion thereof, for each worker paid less than the prevailing wage rate, if the Labor Commissioner determines that the violation was willful, as defined in subdivision (c) of Section 1777.1. (C) If the amount due under this section is collected from the contractor or subcontractor, any outstanding wage claim under Chapter 1 (commencing with Section 1720) of Part 7 of Division 2 against that contractor 878
Attachment No. 1

Page 7 of 13 ends

or subcontractor shall be satisfied before applying that amount to the penalty imposed on that contractor or subcontractor pursuant to this section.
(D) The determination of the Labor Commissioner as to the amount of the penalty shall be reviewable only for abuse of discretion.
(E) The difference between the prevailing wage rates and the amount paid to each worker for each calendar day or portion thereof for which each worker was paid less than the prevailing wage rate shall be paid to each worker by the contractor or subcontractor, and the body awarding the contract shall cause to be inserted in the contract a stipulation that this section will be complied with. (b) If a worker employed by a subcontractor on a public works project is not paid the general prevailing rate of per diem wages by the subcontractor, the prime contractor of the project is not liable for any penalties under subdivision (a) unless the prime contractor had knowledge of that failure of the subcontractor to pay the specified prevailing rate of wages to those workers or unless the prime contractor fails to comply with all of the following requirements:
(1) The contract executed between the contractor and the subcontractor for the performance of work on the public works project shall include a copy of the provisions of this section and Sections 1771, 1776, 1777.5, 1813, and 1815.
(2) The contractor shall monitor the payment of the specified general prevailing rate of per diem wages by the subcontractor to the employees, by periodic review of the certified payroll records of the subcontractor.

Each payroll record shall contain or be verified by a written declaration that it is made under penalty of perjury, stating both of the following:
(1) The information contained in the payroll record is true and correct. (2) The employer has complied with the requirements of Sections 1771, 1811, and 1815 for any work performed by his or her employees on the public works project. 879
Attachment No. 1

(b) The payroll records enumerated under subdivision (a) shall be certified and shall be available for inspection at all reasonable hours at the principal office of the contractor on the following basis:
(1) A certified copy of an employee's payroll record shall be made available for inspection or furnished to the employee or his or her authorized representative on request. (2) A certified copy of all payroll records enumerated in subdivision (a) shall be made available for inspection or furnished upon request to a representative of the body awarding the contract and the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement of the Department of Industrial Relations.

If the requested payroll records have not been provided pursuant to paragraph (2), the requesting party shall, prior to being provided the records, reimburse the costs of preparation by the contractor, subcontractors, and the entity through which the request was made. The public may not be given access to the records at the principal office of the contractor.
(c) Unless required to be furnished directly to the Labor Commissioner in accordance with paragraph (3) of subdivision (a) of Section 1771.4, the certified payroll records shall be on forms provided by the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement or shall contain the same information as the forms provided by the division.

The payroll records may consist of printouts of payroll data that are maintained as computer records, if the printouts contain the same information as the forms provided by the division and the printouts are verified in the manner specified in subdivision (a).

Upon the request of the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement, these penalties shall be withheld from progress payments then due. A contractor is not subject to a penalty assessment pursuant to this section due to the failure of a subcontractor to comply with this section.
(i) The body awarding the contract shall cause to be inserted in the contract stipulations to effectuate this section.
(j) The director shall adopt rules consistent with the California Public Records Act (Chapter 3.5 (commencing with Section 6250) of Division 7 of Title 1 of the Government Code) and the Information Practices Act of 1977 (Title 1.8 (commencing with Section 1798) of Part 4 of Division 3 of the Civil Code) governing the release of these records, including the establishment of reasonable fees to be charged for reproducing copies of records required by this section.

Section 1777.5. Employment of registered apprentices; wages; standards; number; 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 examination, 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 881
Attachment No. 1

Page 10 of 13 ends

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 apprenticeship 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 in 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, if 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 public 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 above 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 the 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 882
Attachment No. 1

Page 11 of 13 ends

of Apprenticeship, upon application of an apprenticeship program, may order a minimum ratio of not less 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 been 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 required 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 contract 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 individual 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 works 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:

(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 solely 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 this 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 contractors 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.

2. SUMMARY
As part of the Parking Lot Pavement Rehabilitation (30053) and Resurfacing Bike Trails and Walking Paths (20475) Capital Improvement Projects, an evaluation of City maintained park parking lots, bike trails, and walking path revealed that pavement maintenance and rehabilitation treatment were needed at Serrano, Fred Barrera, and Santiago Hills Parks, and the McPherson Athletic Center parking lots. Additionally, the evaluation concluded that resurfacing was needed along city owned bike trails and walking paths at El Modena Bike Trail, Santiago Creek Bike Trail, and Hart Park walking paths. The evaluation also identified ADA compliance work needed at various specified locations. Staff is recommending that the City Council award a contract to Onyx Paving Company, Inc. to complete the construction of both projects.

5. STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS
Goal 1: Provide for a safe community.
b: Provide and maintain infrastructure necessary to ensure the safety of the public.

Goal 3: Enhance and promote quality of life in the community. a: Renovate, maintain, develop, and/or expand public use places and spaces.

6. DISCUSSION AND BACKGROUND
The asphalt parking lot pavement in City parks degrade in various stages over time, requiring a pavement maintenance and rehabilitation (M&R) treatment to protect from further degradation. Some lots require complete removal and replacement of asphalt pavement, some can be ground down and capped with new asphalt, and other lots require slurry coating and new striping. As part of a multiyear parking lot pavement rehabilitation initiative, successful pavement M&R treatments have been completed at the following parking lots: Killefer parking lot in Fiscal Year 2016-17 (FY17), Eisenhower and El Camino parking lots in Fiscal Year 2018-19 (FY19), and Olive and Grijalva parking lots in Fiscal Year 2020-21 (FY21). The parking lot at Shaffer Park was completed in FY19 as part of the Shaffer Park Renovation project and Handy Park was incorporated into the Handy Park Maintenance Renovation project which was completed in Fiscal Year 2021-22 (FY22).

In addition, several areas and sections of City bike trails and adjacent walking paths were identified as needing maintenance and/or repair. In FY21, the Resurfacing Bike Trails and Walking Paths (20475) Capital Improvement Project (CIP) was approved.

In Fiscal Year 2022-23 (FY23), Quality Engineering Solutions, Inc. (QES) evaluated the parking lots at Fred Barerra, Santiago Hills, and Serrano Parks, and the McPherson Athletic Center and provided a scope of work needed. QES also studied the bike trail adjacent to the El Modena Open Space on N. Cannon St, City-owned portions of the Santiago Creek Bike Trail, and sections of walking paths through Hart Park near the tennis court and Diamond 1. The subsequent report revealed that each location required some degree of pavement M&R treatment and ADA compliance work at all of these locations to include crack sealing, slurry seal and re-stripe, and asphalt removal and replacement.

Based upon the results of the evaluations, QES also provided a biddable scope of work for the Parking Lot Pavement Rehabilitation (30053) and Resurfacing Bike Trails and Walking Paths (20475) projects. Staff issued a request for bids to complete these projects (RFB No. 23-24.07). The City received five bids in September 2023:

1. Onyx Paving Company, Inc., Anaheim, CA $963,000.00

2. Century Paving, Inc., La Mirada, CA $995,332.00

3. R.J. Noble Company, Orange, CA $1,106,646.95

4. All American Asphalt, Corona, CA $1,248,444.00

5. Elegant Construction, Inc., Irvine, CA $1,382,640.00 The lowest responsive and responsible bid is from Onyx Paving Company, Inc., for $963,000. Staff City of Orange Page 2 of 3 Printed on 11/8/2023

The lowest responsive and responsible bid is from Onyx Paving Company, Inc., for $963,000. Staff verified the qualifications of the vendor with references provided for similar projects and received positive responses.

Staff is recommending that the City Council take three actions. First, it is recommended the City Council approve an agreement with Onyx Paving to complete the two CIP projects. The total amount for the contract is $1,059,300, which includes a 10 percent contingency of $96,300. Project 30053 has an estimated expense of $719,151.18 and Project 20475 has an estimated expense of $340,148.82.

The Fiscal Year 2023-24 (FY24) approved CIP includes funding of $491,615 from the Park Acquisition (Infill) (510) for Project 30053, creating a short fall of $227,536.18 in available appropriation for this project. The FY24 approved CIP also includes appropriations totaling $384,117 from the Park Acquisition (Infill) (510) and Park Acquisition and Development (Quimby) (511) funds for Project 20475. Therefore, staff is recommending that the City Council approve an appropriation transfer from Project 20475 to Project 30053 to assist in covering the cost.

Lastly, following this action, Project 30053 will require an additional appropriation to account for the estimated expense to repair the parking lots. As such, staff is recommending the City Council approve an appropriation of $183,568 from the unreserved Park Acquisition (Infill) (510) fund to the Parking Lot Pavement Rehabilitation (30053) project.

All work will be done with the intent to minimize disruption to regular park programming or facility rentals. It may be necessary to restrict access to one or more facilities for specific dates, times, or durations for safety reasons. Signage will be placed at appropriate locations to inform the public of any closures. Work start date and completion will be contingent upon weather conditions.

7. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Categorical Exemption: The proposed project is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per State CEQA Guidelines 15301 “Existing Facilities” Class 1 because the project involves the repair and maintenance of existing facilities with no expansion of existing use. The CEQA Notice of Exemption will be filed with the County Recorder’s Office upon Council’s approval of the plans and specifications.

As such, staff is recommending the City Council approve an appropriation of $183,568 from the unreserved Park Acquisition (Infill) (510) fund to the Parking Lot Pavement Rehabilitation (30053) project.

All work will be done with the intent to minimize disruption to regular park programming or facility rentals. It may be necessary to restrict access to one or more facilities for specific dates, times, or durations for safety reasons. Signage will be placed at appropriate locations to inform the public of any closures. Work start date and completion will be contingent upon weather conditions.

7. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Categorical Exemption: The proposed project is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per State CEQA Guidelines 15301 “Existing Facilities” Class 1 because the project involves the repair and maintenance of existing facilities with no expansion of existing use. The CEQA Notice of Exemption will be filed with the County Recorder’s Office upon Council’s approval of the plans and specifications.

Guarantees
a. Contractor guarantees the construction and installation of all Work included in the Plans and Specifications for which Contractor has been awarded this Contract. b.

ARTICLE 6
Water Quality
a. The Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board (“RWQCB”) has issued National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (“NPDES”) Permit No. R8-2009-0030 (the 897
4 “Permit”), which governs storm water and non-storm water discharges resulting from municipal activities performed by City or its contractors. In order to comply with the Permit requirements, the County of Orange has prepared a Drainage Area Management Plan (“DAMP”), containing Model Maintenance Procedures with Best Management Practices (“BMPs”) that City and its contractors must adhere to. The Model Maintenance Procedures contain pollution prevention and source control techniques to minimize the impact of those activities upon dry-weather urban runoff, storm water runoff, and receiving water quality. Examples include: wash water from cleaning of sidewalks or parking lots must be collected and disposed of in the sewer or landscaped areas.
b. The Permit, the DAMP and the Model Maintenance Procedures are on file in the office of City’s Director of Public Works. Contractor hereby acknowledges that it has read, reviewed and understands the Permit, the DAMP and the Model Maintenance Procedures, as they relate to the Work and hereby shall perform the Work in conformance therewith.

ARTICLE 7
Independent Contractor; Contractor not Agent
a. At all times during the term of this Contract, Contractor shall be an independent contractor and not an employee of City. City shall have the right to control Contractor only insofar as the result of Contractor’s services rendered pursuant to this Contract. City shall not have the right to control the means by which Contractor accomplishes services rendered pursuant to this Contract. Contractor shall, at its sole cost and expense, furnish all facilities, materials and equipment which may be required for furnishing services pursuant to this Contract. Contractor shall be solely responsible for, and shall indemnify, defend and save City harmless from all matters relating to the payment of its subcontractors, agents and employees, including compliance with social security, withholding and all other wages, salaries, benefits, taxes, exactions, and regulations of any nature whatsoever. Contractor acknowledges that Contractor and any subcontractors, agents or employees employed by Contractor shall not, under any circumstances, be considered employees of City, and that they shall not be entitled to any of the benefits or rights afforded employees of City, including, but not limited to, sick leave, vacation leave, holiday pay, Public Employees Retirement System benefits, or health, life, dental, long-term disability or workers' compensation insurance benefits.
b. Except as City may specify in writing, Contractor shall have no authority, express or implied, to act on behalf of City in any capacity whatsoever as an agent. Contractor shall have no authority, express or implied, to bind City to any obligation whatsoever.

ARTICLE 8
Public Work; Prevailing Wage
a. The Work which is the subject of this Contract is a “public work,” as that term is defined in Section 1720 of the California Labor Code, for which prevailing wages must be paid.

To the extent Contractor’s employees will perform any work that falls within any of the classifications for which the Department of Labor Relations of the State of California promulgates prevailing wage determinations, Contractor hereby agrees that Contractor, and any subcontractor under it, shall pay not less than the specified prevailing rates of wages to all such workers. The 898

Contractor hereby acknowledges that it has read, reviewed and understands those provisions of the Labor Code and shall prosecute and complete the Work under this Contract in strict compliance with all of those terms and provisions. c. Contractor shall secure the payment of compensation to its employees in accordance with the provisions of Section 3700 of the California Labor Code. Accordingly, and as required by Section 1861 of the California Labor Code, Contractor hereby certifies as follows:
“I am aware of the provisions of Section 3700 of the Labor Code which require every employer to be insured against liability for workers' compensation or to undertake self-insurance in accordance with the provisions of that code, and I will comply with such provisions before commencing the performance of the work of this contract.”
d. Contractor shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless City and its officers, employees, contractors and agents, with counsel reasonably acceptable to City, from and against any and all loss, liability, damage, claim, cost, expense, and/or “increased costs” (including reasonable attorney’s fees, court and litigation costs, and fees of expert witnesses) which result or arise in any way from the noncompliance by Contractor of any applicable local, state and/or federal law, including, without limitation, any applicable federal and/or state labor laws (including, without limitation, the requirement to pay state prevailing wages). It is agreed by the parties that, in connection with the construction of the Work which is the subject of this Contract, Contractor shall bear all risks of payment or non-payment of state prevailing wages. “Increased costs” as used in this paragraph shall have the meaning ascribed to it in Labor Code Section 1781, as the same may be enacted, adopted or amended from time to time. The foregoing indemnity shall survive termination of this Contract.

ARTICLE 9
Equal Employment Opportunity

Contractor shall cause the foregoing paragraphs (a) and (b) to be inserted in all subcontracts for any Work covered by this Contract, provided that the foregoing provisions shall not apply to subcontracts for standard commercial supplies or raw materials.

ARTICLE 10
Conflicts of Interest
Contractor agrees that it shall not make, participate in the making, or in any way attempt to use its position as a contractor to influence any decision of City in which Contractor knows or has reason to know that Contractor, its officers, partners, or employees have a financial interest as defined in Section 87103 of the Government Code. Contractor further agrees that it shall not be eligible to work as the builder for any project for which the design work is part of this Contract.

ARTICLE 12
Insurance
a. Contractor shall procure and maintain for the duration of this Contract insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damages to property which may arise from or in connection 900
7 with the performance of the Work hereunder and the results of that Work by Contractor, its agents, representatives, employees or subcontractors. Any umbrella liability insurance that is provided as part of the general or automobile liability minimums set forth below shall be maintained for the duration of the Contract.
b. Contractor shall maintain the following minimum amount of insurance: the greater of either the limits set forth in (1) through (4), below; or all of the insurance coverage and/or limits carried by or available to Contractor.
(1) General Liability $2,000,000 per occurrence for bodily injury, personal injury and property damage. If
Commercial General Liability insurance
or other form with a general aggregate
limit is used, either the general aggregate

project/location or the general aggregate

occurrence limit.
(2) Automobile Liability $1,000,000 per accident for bodily injury and property damage.
(3) Workers’ Compensation as required by the State of California. (4) Employer’s Liability $1,000,000 per accident for bodily injury or disease. c. Any insurance proceeds in excess of or broader than the minimum required coverage and/or minimum required limits which are applicable to a given loss shall be available to City. No representation is made that the minimum insurance requirements of this Contract are sufficient to cover the obligations of Contractor under this Contract. d. Any deductibles or self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by City. At the option of City, either: the insurer shall reduce or eliminate such deductibles or selfinsured retentions with respect to City, its officers, officials, agents and employees; or Contractor shall provide a financial guarantee satisfactory to City guaranteeing payment of losses and related investigations, claim administration, and defense expenses. e. Each policy of general liability and automotive liability insurance shall contain, or be endorsed to contain, the following provisions:
(1) City, its officers, officials, agents, and employees are declared to be additional insureds under the terms of the policy, with respect to liability arising out of automobiles owned, leased, hired or borrowed by or on behalf of Contractor (any auto), and with respect to liability arising out of Work or operations performed by or on behalf of Contractor, including materials, parts or equipment furnished in connection with such Work or operations. A policy endorsement to that effect shall be provided to City along with the certificate of insurance. In lieu of an endorsement, City will accept a copy of the policy(ies) which evidences that City is an 901
8 additional insured as a contracting party. The minimum coverage required by Subsection 12.b, above, shall apply to City as an additional insured.
(2) For any claims related to this Contract, Contractor’s insurance coverage shall be primary insurance with respect to City, its officers, officials, agents and employees. Any insurance or self-insurance maintained by City, its officers, officials, agents and employees shall be excess of Contractor’s insurance and shall not contribute with it. (3) Coverage shall not be canceled, except after thirty (30) days’ prior written notice has been provided to City.
f. Contractor shall furnish City with original certificates of insurance and endorsements effecting coverage required by this Article 12. The endorsements shall be on forms acceptable to City. All certificates and endorsements are to be received and approved by City before the Work commences. However, failure to do so shall not operate as a waiver of these insurance requirements. City reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies, including endorsements effecting the coverage required by these specifications at any time.
g. All insurance procured and maintained by Contractor shall be issued by insurers admitted to conduct the pertinent line of insurance business in California and having a rating of Grade A or better and Class VII or better by the latest edition of Best Key Rating Guide. h. Contractor shall immediately notify City if any required insurance lapses or is otherwise modified and cease performance of this Contract unless otherwise directed by City. In such a case, City may procure insurance or self-insure the risk and charge Contractor for such costs and any and all damages resulting therefrom by way of set-off from any sums owed Contractor. i. Contractor agrees that in the event of loss due to any of the perils for which it has agreed to provide insurance, Contractor shall look solely to its insurance for recovery. Contractor hereby grants to City, on behalf of any insurer providing insurance to either Contractor or City with respect to the services of Contractor herein, a waiver of any right to subrogation which any such insurer may acquire against City by virtue of the payment of any loss under such insurance.

The Workers’ Compensation policy shall be endorsed with a waiver of subrogation in favor of City for all Work performed by Contractor, its employees, agents and subcontractors. Contractor shall obtain any other endorsement that may be necessary to effect this waiver of subrogation. j. Contractor shall require and verify that all subcontractors maintain insurance meeting all of the requirements stated herein.

CALIFORNIA LABOR CODE
SECTIONS 1725.5, 1771, 1771.1, 1771.4, 1775, 1776, 1777.5, 1813 and 1815 Section 1725.5. Registration of contractors; mandatory registration; qualifications and application; fees; exempt contractors
A contractor shall be registered pursuant to this section to 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 public work contract that is subject to the requirements of this chapter. For the purposes of this section, “contractor” includes a subcontractor as defined by Section 1722.1. (a) To qualify for registration under this section, a contractor shall do all of the following:
(1)(A) Register with the Department of Industrial Relations in the manner prescribed 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.

Coverage may be evidenced by a current and valid certificate of workers' compensation insurance or certification of self-insurance required under Section 7125 of the Business and Professions Code. (B) If applicable, the contractor is licensed in accordance with Chapter 9 (commencing with Section 7000) of the Business and Professions Code.
(C) The contractor does not have any delinquent liability to an employee or the state for any assessment of back wages or related damages, interest, fines, or penalties pursuant to any final judgment, order, or determination by a court or any federal, state, or local administrative agency, including a confirmed arbitration award. However, for purposes of this paragraph, the contractor shall not be disqualified for any judgment, order, or determination 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. If a contractor is found to be in violation of the requirements of this paragraph, the period of disqualification shall be waived if both of the following are true:
907
Attachment No. 1

(i) The contractor has not previously been found to be in violation of the requirements of this paragraph within the preceding 12 months.
(ii) The contractor pays an additional nonrefundable penalty registration fee of two thousand dollars ($2,000). (b) Fees received pursuant to this section shall be deposited in the State Public Works Enforcement Fund established by Section 1771.3 and shall be used only for the purposes specified in that section. (c) A contractor who fails to pay the renewal fee required under paragraph (1) of subdivision (a) on or before the expiration of any prior period of registration shall be prohibited from bidding on or engaging in the performance of any contract for public work until once again registered pursuant to this section. If the failure to pay the renewal fee was inadvertent, the contractor may renew its registration retroactively by paying an additional nonrefundable penalty renewal fee equal to the amount of the renewal fee within 90 days of the due date of the renewal fee.
(d) If, after a body awarding a contract accepts the contractor's bid or awards the contract, the work covered by the bid or contract is determined to be a public work to which Section 1771 applies, either as the result of a determination by the director pursuant to Section 1773.5 or a court decision, the requirements of this section shall not apply, subject to the following requirements:
(1) The body that awarded the contract failed, in the bid specification or in the contract documents, to identify as a public work that portion of the work that the determination or decision subsequently classifies as a public work.
(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 1771.1. Registration as a contractor or subcontractor required prior to bid submission; exceptions; violations; penalties
(a) A contractor or subcontractor shall not 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, as defined in this chapter, unless currently registered and qualified to perform public work pursuant to Section 1725.5. It is not a violation of this section for an unregistered contractor to submit a bid that is authorized by Section 7029.1 of the Business and Professions Code or by Section 10164 or 20103.5 of the Public Contract Code, provided the contractor is registered to perform public work pursuant to Section 1725.5 at the time the contract is awarded.
(b) Notice of the requirement described in subdivision (a) shall be included in all bid invitations and public works contracts, and a bid shall not be accepted nor any contract or subcontract entered into without proof of the contractor or subcontractor's current registration to perform public work pursuant to Section 1725.5. (c) An inadvertent error in listing a subcontractor who is not registered pursuant to Section 1725.5 in a bid proposal shall not be grounds for filing a bid protest or grounds for considering the bid nonresponsive, provided that any of the following apply:
(1) The subcontractor is registered prior to the bid opening. (2) Within 24 hours after the bid opening, the subcontractor is registered and has paid the penalty registration fee specified in subparagraph (E) of paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 1725.5. (3) The subcontractor is replaced by another registered subcontractor pursuant to Section 4107 of the Public Contract Code.
(d) Failure by a subcontractor to be registered to perform public work as required by subdivision (a) shall be grounds under Section 4107 of the Public Contract Code for the contractor, with the consent of the awarding authority, to substitute a subcontractor who is registered to perform public work pursuant to Section 1725.5 in place of the unregistered subcontractor.
(e) The department shall maintain on its Internet Web site a list of contractors who are currently registered to perform public work pursuant to Section 1725.5.
(f) A contract entered into with any contractor or subcontractor in violation of subdivision (a) shall be subject to cancellation, provided that a contract for public work shall not be unlawful, void, or voidable solely due to the failure of the awarding body, contractor, or any subcontractor to comply with the requirements of Section 1725.5 or this section.
(g) If the Labor Commissioner or his or her designee determines that a contractor or subcontractor engaged in the performance of any public work contract without having been registered in accordance with this section, the contractor or subcontractor shall forfeit, as a civil penalty to the state, one hundred dollars ($100) for each day of work performed in violation of the registration requirement, not to exceed an aggregate penalty of eight thousand dollars ($8,000) in addition to any penalty registration fee assessed pursuant to clause (ii) of subparagraph (E) of paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 1725.5. (h)(1) In addition to, or in lieu of, any other penalty or sanction authorized pursuant to this chapter, a higher tiered public works contractor or subcontractor who is found to have entered into a subcontract with an unregistered lower tier subcontractor to perform any public work in violation of the requirements of Section 1725.5 or this section shall be subject to forfeiture, as a civil penalty to the state, of one hundred dollars ($100) 909
Attachment No. 1

Page 4 of 13 ends

for each day the unregistered lower tier subcontractor performs work in violation of the registration requirement, not to exceed an aggregate penalty of ten thousand dollars ($10,000). (2) The Labor Commissioner shall use the same standards specified in subparagraph (A) of paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 1775 when determining the severity of the violation and what penalty to assess, and may waive the penalty for a first time violation that was unintentional and did not hinder the Labor Commissioner's ability to monitor and enforce compliance with the requirements of this chapter. (3) A higher tiered public works contractor or subcontractor shall not be liable for penalties assessed pursuant to paragraph (1) if the lower tier subcontractor's performance is in violation of the requirements of Section 1725.5 due to the revocation of a previously approved registration. (4) A subcontractor shall not be liable for any penalties assessed against a higher tiered public works contractor or subcontractor pursuant to paragraph (1). A higher tiered public works contractor or subcontractor may not require a lower tiered subcontractor to indemnify or otherwise be liable for any penalties pursuant to paragraph (1).
(i) The Labor Commissioner or his or her designee shall issue a civil wage and penalty assessment, in accordance with the provisions of Section 1741, upon determination of penalties pursuant to subdivision (g) and subparagraph (B) of paragraph (1) of subdivision (h). Review of a civil wage and penalty assessment issued under this subdivision may be requested in accordance with the provisions of Section 1742. The regulations of the Director of Industrial Relations, which govern proceedings for review of civil wage and penalty assessments and the withholding of contract payments under Article 1 (commencing with Section 1720) and Article 2 (commencing with Section 1770), shall apply. (j)(1) Where a contractor or subcontractor engages in the performance of any public work contract without having been registered in violation of the requirements of Section 1725.5 or this section, the Labor Commissioner shall issue and serve a stop order prohibiting the use of the unregistered contractor or the unregistered subcontractor on all public works until the unregistered contractor or unregistered subcontractor is registered. The stop order shall not apply to work by registered contractors or subcontractors on the public work.
(2) A stop order may be personally served upon the contractor or subcontractor by either of the following methods:
(A) Manual delivery of the order to the contractor or subcontractor personally. (B) Leaving signed copies of the order with the person who is apparently in charge at the site of the public work and by thereafter mailing copies of the order by first class mail, postage prepaid to the contractor or subcontractor at one of the following:
(i) The address of the contractor or subcontractor on file with either the Secretary of State or the Contractors' State License Board.
(ii) If the contractor or subcontractor has no address on file with the Secretary of State or the Contractors' State License Board, the address of the site of the public work. (3) The stop order shall be effective immediately upon service and shall be subject to appeal by the party contracting with the unregistered contractor or subcontractor, by the unregistered contractor or subcontractor, or both. The appeal, hearing, and any further review of the hearing decision shall be governed by the procedures, time limits, and other requirements specified in subdivision (a) of Section 238.1. 910
Attachment No. 1

(4) Any employee of an unregistered contractor or subcontractor who is affected by a work stoppage ordered by the commissioner pursuant to this subdivision shall be paid at his or her regular hourly prevailing wage rate by that employer for any hours the employee would have worked but for the work stoppage, not to exceed 10 days.
(k) Failure of a contractor or subcontractor, owner, director, officer, or managing agent of the contractor or subcontractor to observe a stop order issued and served upon him or her pursuant to subdivision (j) is guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment in county jail not exceeding 60 days or by a fine not exceeding ten thousand dollars ($10,000), or both.
(l) This section shall apply to any bid proposal submitted on or after March 1, 2015, and any contract for public work entered into on or after April 1, 2015. This section shall also apply to the performance of any public work, as defined in this chapter, on or after January 1, 2018, regardless of when the contract for public work was entered.
(m) Penalties received pursuant to this section shall be deposited in the State Public Works Enforcement Fund established by Section 1771.3 and shall be used only for the purposes specified in that section. (n) This section shall not apply to work performed on a public works project of twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) or less when the project is for construction, alteration, demolition, installation, or repair work or to work performed on a public works project of fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000) or less when the project is for maintenance work.

Section 1771.4. Additional requirements when bidding and awarding public works contracts (a) All of the following are applicable to all public works projects that are otherwise subject to the requirements of this chapter:
(1) The call for bids and contract documents shall specify that the project is subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the Department of Industrial Relations. (2) The awarding body shall post or require the prime contractor to post job site notices, as prescribed by regulation.
(3) Each contractor and subcontractor shall furnish the records specified in Section 1776 directly to the Labor Commissioner, in the following manner:
(A) At least monthly or more frequently if specified in the contract with the awarding body. (B) In a format prescribed by the Labor Commissioner.
(4) If the contractor or subcontractor is not registered pursuant to Section 1725.5 and is performing work on a project for which registration is not required because of subdivision (f) of Section 1725.5, the unregistered contractor or subcontractor is not required to furnish the records specified in Section 1776 directly to the Labor Commissioner but shall retain the records specified in Section 1776for at least three years after completion of the work.
(5) The department shall undertake those activities it deems necessary to monitor and enforce compliance with prevailing wage requirements.

(d) The requirements of paragraph (3) of subdivision (a) shall apply to all contracts for public work, whether new or ongoing, on or after January 1, 2016.

Section 1775. Penalties for violations
(a)(1) The contractor and any subcontractor under the contractor shall, as a penalty to the state or political subdivision on whose behalf the contract is made or awarded, forfeit not more than two hundred dollars ($200) for each calendar day, or portion thereof, for each worker paid less than the prevailing wage rates as determined by the director for the work or craft in which the worker is employed for any public work done under the contract by the contractor or, except as provided in subdivision (b), by any subcontractor under the contractor.
(2)(A) The amount of the penalty shall be determined by the Labor Commissioner based on consideration of both of the following:
(i) Whether the failure of the contractor or subcontractor to pay the correct rate of per diem wages was a good faith mistake and, if so, the error was promptly and voluntarily corrected when brought to the attention of the contractor or subcontractor.
(ii) Whether the contractor or subcontractor has a prior record of failing to meet its prevailing wage obligations.
(B)(i) The penalty may not be less than forty dollars ($40) for each calendar day, or portion thereof, for each worker paid less than the prevailing wage rate, unless the failure of the contractor or subcontractor to pay the correct rate of per diem wages was a good faith mistake and, if so, the error was promptly and voluntarily corrected when brought to the attention of the contractor or subcontractor. (ii) The penalty may not be less than eighty dollars ($80) for each calendar day, or portion thereof, for each worker paid less than the prevailing wage rate, if the contractor or subcontractor has been assessed penalties within the previous three years for failing to meet its prevailing wage obligations on a separate contract, unless those penalties were subsequently withdrawn or overturned. (iii) The penalty may not be less than one hundred twenty dollars ($120) for each calendar day, or portion thereof, for each worker paid less than the prevailing wage rate, if the Labor Commissioner determines that the violation was willful, as defined in subdivision (c) of Section 1777.1. (C) If the amount due under this section is collected from the contractor or subcontractor, any outstanding wage claim under Chapter 1 (commencing with Section 1720) of Part 7 of Division 2 against that contractor 912
Attachment No. 1

Page 7 of 13 ends

or subcontractor shall be satisfied before applying that amount to the penalty imposed on that contractor or subcontractor pursuant to this section.
(D) The determination of the Labor Commissioner as to the amount of the penalty shall be reviewable only for abuse of discretion.
(E) The difference between the prevailing wage rates and the amount paid to each worker for each calendar day or portion thereof for which each worker was paid less than the prevailing wage rate shall be paid to each worker by the contractor or subcontractor, and the body awarding the contract shall cause to be inserted in the contract a stipulation that this section will be complied with. (b) If a worker employed by a subcontractor on a public works project is not paid the general prevailing rate of per diem wages by the subcontractor, the prime contractor of the project is not liable for any penalties under subdivision (a) unless the prime contractor had knowledge of that failure of the subcontractor to pay the specified prevailing rate of wages to those workers or unless the prime contractor fails to comply with all of the following requirements:
(1) The contract executed between the contractor and the subcontractor for the performance of work on the public works project shall include a copy of the provisions of this section and Sections 1771, 1776, 1777.5, 1813, and 1815.
(2) The contractor shall monitor the payment of the specified general prevailing rate of per diem wages by the subcontractor to the employees, by periodic review of the certified payroll records of the subcontractor. (3) Upon becoming aware of the failure of the subcontractor to pay his or her workers the specified prevailing rate of wages, the contractor shall diligently take corrective action to halt or rectify the failure, including, but not limited to, retaining sufficient funds due the subcontractor for work performed on the public works project. (4) Prior to making final payment to the subcontractor for work performed on the public works project, the contractor shall obtain an affidavit signed under penalty of perjury from the subcontractor that the subcontractor has paid the specified general prevailing rate of per diem wages to his or her employees on the public works project and any amounts due pursuant to Section 1813. (c) The Division of Labor Standards Enforcement shall notify the contractor on a public works project within 15 days of the receipt by the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement of a complaint of the failure of a subcontractor on that public works project to pay workers the general prevailing rate of per diem wages.

Section 1776. Payroll records; retention; inspection; redacted information; agencies entitled to receive nonredacted copies of certified records; noncompliance penalties; rules (a) Each contractor and subcontractor shall keep accurate payroll records, showing the name, address, social security number, work classification, straight time and overtime hours worked each day and week, and the actual per diem wages paid to each journeyman, apprentice, worker, or other employee employed by him or her in connection with the public work. Each payroll record shall contain or be verified by a written declaration that it is made under penalty of perjury, stating both of the following:
(1) The information contained in the payroll record is true and correct. (2) The employer has complied with the requirements of Sections 1771, 1811, and 1815 for any work performed by his or her employees on the public works project. 913
Attachment No. 1

(b) The payroll records enumerated under subdivision (a) shall be certified and shall be available for inspection at all reasonable hours at the principal office of the contractor on the following basis:
(1) A certified copy of an employee's payroll record shall be made available for inspection or furnished to the employee or his or her authorized representative on request. (2) A certified copy of all payroll records enumerated in subdivision (a) shall be made available for inspection or furnished upon request to a representative of the body awarding the contract and the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement of the Department of Industrial Relations. (3) A certified copy of all payroll records enumerated in subdivision (a) shall be made available upon request by the public for inspection or for copies thereof. However, a request by the public shall be made through either the body awarding the contract or the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement. If the requested payroll records have not been provided pursuant to paragraph (2), the requesting party shall, prior to being provided the records, reimburse the costs of preparation by the contractor, subcontractors, and the entity through which the request was made. The public may not be given access to the records at the principal office of the contractor.
(c) Unless required to be furnished directly to the Labor Commissioner in accordance with paragraph (3) of subdivision (a) of Section 1771.4, the certified payroll records shall be on forms provided by the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement or shall contain the same information as the forms provided by the division.

The payroll records may consist of printouts of payroll data that are maintained as computer records, if the printouts contain the same information as the forms provided by the division and the printouts are verified in the manner specified in subdivision (a).
(d) A contractor or subcontractor shall file a certified copy of the records enumerated in subdivision (a) with the entity that requested the records within 10 days after receipt of a written request. (e) Except as provided in subdivision (f), any copy of records made available for inspection as copies and furnished upon request to the public or any public agency by the awarding body or the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement shall be marked or obliterated to prevent disclosure of an individual's name, address, and social security number. The name and address of the contractor awarded the contract or the subcontractor performing the contract shall not be marked or obliterated. Any copy of records made available for inspection by, or furnished to, a multiemployer Taft-Hartley trust fund (29 U.S.C. Sec. 186(c)(5)) that requests the records for the purposes of allocating contributions to participants shall be marked or obliterated only to prevent disclosure of an individual's full social security number, but shall provide the last four digits of the social security number. Any copy of records made available for inspection by, or furnished to, a joint labormanagement committee established pursuant to the federal Labor Management Cooperation Act of 1978 (29 U.S.C. Sec. 175a) shall be marked or obliterated only to prevent disclosure of an individual's social security number.
(f)(1) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, agencies that are included in the Joint Enforcement Strike Force on the Underground Economy established pursuant to Section 329 of the Unemployment Insurance Code and other law enforcement agencies investigating violations of law shall, upon request, be provided nonredacted copies of certified payroll records. Any copies of records or certified payroll made available for inspection and furnished upon request to the public by an agency included in the Joint Enforcement Strike Force on the Underground Economy or to a law enforcement agency investigating a violation of law shall be marked or redacted to prevent disclosure of an individual's name, address, and social security number. 914

(h) The contractor or subcontractor has 10 days in which to comply subsequent to receipt of a written notice requesting the records enumerated in subdivision (a). In the event that the contractor or subcontractor fails to comply within the 10-day period, he or she shall, as a penalty to the state or political subdivision on whose behalf the contract is made or awarded, forfeit one hundred dollars ($100) for each calendar day, or portion thereof, for each worker, until strict compliance is effectuated. Upon the request of the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement, these penalties shall be withheld from progress payments then due. A contractor is not subject to a penalty assessment pursuant to this section due to the failure of a subcontractor to comply with this section.
(i) The body awarding the contract shall cause to be inserted in the contract stipulations to effectuate this section.
(j) The director shall adopt rules consistent with the California Public Records Act (Chapter 3.5 (commencing with Section 6250) of Division 7 of Title 1 of the Government Code) and the Information Practices Act of 1977 (Title 1.8 (commencing with Section 1798) of Part 4 of Division 3 of the Civil Code) governing the release of these records, including the establishment of reasonable fees to be charged for reproducing copies of records required by this section.

Section 1777.5. Employment of registered apprentices; wages; standards; number; 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 examination, 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 915
Attachment No. 1

Page 10 of 13 ends

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 apprenticeship 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 in 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, if 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 public 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 above 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 the 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 916
Attachment No. 1

Page 11 of 13 ends

of Apprenticeship, upon application of an apprenticeship program, may order a minimum ratio of not less 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 been 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 required 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 contract 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 individual 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 works 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:
917
Attachment No. 1

Page 12 of 13 ends

(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 solely 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 this section.

PROPOSAL
TO THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ORANGE:

In compliance with the notice inviting bids, plans, specifications and other contract documents for the construction of Bid No. 23-24.07; Parking Lot Pavement Rehabilitation a n d R e s u r f a c i n g o f B i k e T r a i l s a n d W a l k i n g P a t h s the undersigned has carefully examined: the location(s) of the proposed work, character, quality and quantity of work to be performed, conditions to be encountered, materials to be furnished and as to the requirements of the plans, specifications and other contract documents; agrees that submission of a bid shall be considered prima facie evidence that the bidder has made such examination; and proposes to furnish all labor, materials, tools, and equipment necessary to complete the work in accordance with said plans, specifications and other contract documents at the following unit or lump sum prices set forth in the schedule.

If awarded the contract, the undersigned agrees to commence the work under the contract within fifteen (15) days after the date of contract, and complete said work within fifty five (55) working days from the first day of commencement of such work unless legal extension is granted in accordance with the terms set forth in the specifications. If undersigned is awarded more than one zone, the work must be completed consecutively.

The undersigned agrees that the foregoing estimate of quantities of work to be done and materials to be furnished are approximate only, being given as basis for the comparison of bids.

The undersigned agrees that the City will not be held responsible if any of the approximate quantities shown in the foregoing bid shall be found incorrect, and shall not make any claim for damages or for loss of profits because of a difference between the quantities of the various classes of work as estimated and the work actually done.

If any error, omission or mis-statement shall be discovered in the estimated quantities, it shall not invalidate this contract or release the undersigned from the execution and completion of the whole or part of the work herein specified, in accordance with the specifications and the plans herein mentioned and the prices herein agreed upon and fixed therefore, or excuse him from any of the obligations or liabilities hereunder, or entitle him to any damages or compensation otherwise than as provided for in this contract.

The undersigned agrees that the City shall have the right to increase or decrease the quantity of any bid item or portion of the work or to omit portions of the work as may be deemed necessary or expedient, and that the payment for incidental items of work not separately provided in the bid shall be considered included in the price bid for other various items of work.

Accompanying this bid is ($ )
NOTICE: Insert the words "Cash", "Certified Check", or "Bidder's Bond", as the case may be, in an amount equal to at least 10 percent of the total bid price, payable to the City of Orange to guarantee that the bidder will, if awarded the contract, promptly execute such contract in accordance with the bid and in the manner and form required by the contract documents, and will furnish good and sufficient bonds for the faithful performance of the same.
937
The undersigned deposits the above named security as a bid guaranty and agrees that it shall be forfeited to the City of Orange as liquidated damages in case this bid is withdrawn by the undersigned and the undersigned shall fail to execute a contract for doing said work and to furnish good and sufficient bonds in the form set forth in the specifications and contract documents of the City, with surety satisfactory to the City within 15 days after the bidder has received written notice of the award of the contract; otherwise, said security shall be returned to the undersigned.

Bidder hereby declares in writing, under penalty of perjury that all employees who will be performing labor, maintenance, delivery, installation or repair, will be those who are legally entitled to live and work in the United States. Further, the bidder as employer agrees to provide documentary proof of such eligibility (when requested by the City of any other authorized entity or agency). Bids are to be submitted for the entire work. The bidder shall set forth for each unit basis item of work a unit price and a total for the item, and for each lump sum item a total for the item, all in clearly legible figures in the respective spaces provided for that purpose. In the case of unit basis items, the amount set forth under the "Item Total" column shall be the product of the unit price bid and the estimated quantity for the item. In case of discrepancy between the unit price and the total set forth for a unit basis item, the unit price shall prevail, except as provided in (a) or (b), as follows:
(a) If the amount set forth as a unit price is unreadable or otherwise unclear, or is omitted, or is the same as the amount as the entry in the item total column, then the amount set forth in the item total column for the item shall prevail and shall be divided by the estimated quantity for the item and the price thus obtained shall be the unit price;
(b) (Decimal Errors) If the product of the entered unit price and the estimated quantity is exactly off by a factor of ten, one hundred, etc., or one-tenth, or one-hundredth, etc. from the entered total, the discrepancy will be resolved by using the entered unit price or item total, whichever most closely approximates percentage wise the unit price or item total in the City of Orange Final Estimate of cost.

If both the unit price and the item total are unreadable or otherwise unclear, or are omitted, the bid may be deemed irregular. Likewise if the item total for a lump sum item is unreadable or otherwise unclear, or is omitted, the bid may be deemed irregular unless the project being bid has only a single item and a clear, readable total bid is provided.

Symbols such as commas and dollar signs will be ignored and have no mathematical significance in establishing any unit price or item total or lump sums. Written unit prices, item totals and lump sums will be interpreted according to the number of digits and, if applicable, decimal placement. Cents symbols also have no significance in establishing any unit price or item total since all figures are assumed to be expressed in dollars and/or decimal fractions of a dollar. Bids on lump sum items shall be item totals only; if any unit price for a lump sum item is included in a bid and it differs from the item total, the items total shall prevail.

The foregoing provisions for the resolution of specific irregularities cannot be so comprehensive as to cover every omission, inconsistency, error or other irregularity which may occur in a bid. Any situation not specifically provided for will be determined in the discretion of the City of Orange, and that discretion will be exercised in the manner deemed by the City of Orange, to best protect the public interest in the prompt and economical completion of the work. The decision of the City of Orange respecting the amount of a bid, or the existence or treatment of an irregularity in a bid, shall be final.

1. SUBJECT
Award of Contract to Delta Electric, LLC. for area lighting replacement at Grijlava Park; and finding of CEQA exemption.

2. SUMMARY
A total of 54 light poles provide area/pathway lighting at Grijalva Park. The lighting was designed with metal poles mounted on concrete foundations at ground level. Despite measures taken to protect the poles, deterioration near the base of these poles has resulted in the need to remove several light poles in past years. It is recommended the City Council award a contract in the amount of $621,390 to Delta Electric, LLC. to install new poles and fixtures, designed to resist corrosion, to complete the Area Lighting Replacement at Grijalva Park Capital Improvement Project (20477).

3. RECOMMENDED ACTION

1. Approve the contract with Delta Electric, LLC. In the amount of $621,390 for the Area Lighting Replacement at Grijalva Park project (20477); and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute on behalf of the City.

2. Authorize the appropriation of $60,000 in unreserved Park Acquisition (Infill) (510) fund balance to expenditure account 510.7021.56015.20477 - CIP - Reno - Area Lighting Replacement.

4. FISCAL IMPACT
The total expenditure for this contract is $621,390 and will be funded in the Area Lighting Replacement at Grijalva Park project (20477) through:

Park Acquisition (Infill) (510) account 510.7021.56015.20477 - CIP - Reno - Area Lighting Replacement

Reimbursable Capital Projects (550) account
550.7021.56015.20477 - CIP - Renovations
262,686.00
Total: $621,390.00
Upon approval of this appropriation, the estimated fund balance in the 510 fund at June 30, 2024, will be $3.614 million.

5. STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS
Goal 1: Provide for a safe community.
b: Provide and maintain infrastructure necessary to ensure the safety of the public.

Goal 3: Enhance and promote quality of life in the community. a: Renovate, maintain, develop, and/or expand public use places and spaces.

6. DISCUSSION AND BACKGROUND
Currently there are a total of 54 light poles providing area/pathway lighting throughout Grijalva Park.

The existing light poles are composed of thin gauge steel poles mounted on reinforced concrete foundations at ground level. Many of the existing light poles have failed and/or have had to be removed due to corrosion at the base of the poles caused by weather and/or standing irrigation water at the base. Despite past measures taken to protect the poles, deterioration continues due to corrosion.

As part of the Area Lighting Replacement at Grijalva Park project (20477), the City contracted with Lin Consulting, Inc. (Lin) in 2022 to evaluate the area lighting and to provide design services and prepare plans, specifications, and cost estimates. Lin provided a biddable scope of work for the project which included the replacement of all area lighting with new poles and fixtures designed to resist corrosion, while utilizing the existing concrete foundations and electrical infrastructure. Staff incorporated the scope of work provided by Lin and issued a request for bids to complete this project (RFB No. 23-24.05). The City received 12 bids in August 2023:

1. Delta Electric, LLC, Santa Clarita, CA $564,900.00

2. Asplundh Construction, LLC, Buena Park, CA $647,522.64

3. Belco Elecnor Electric, Inc., Chino, CA $680,772.00

4. Ace Electric, Inc., San Diego, CA $698,000.00

5. Select Electric, Inc., Anaheim, CA $730,353.00

6. M. Brey Electric, Inc., Beaumont, CA $742,996.00

7. Academy Electric, Inc., Orange, CA $746,500.00

8. Electro Construction Corporation, Altadena, CA $764,408.00

9. Baker Electric & Renewables, LLC, Escondido, CA $777,202.00

10.Servitek Electric, Inc., Walnut, CA $808,650.00

11.Caliba, Inc., Stanton, CA $878,000.00

12.MBC Enterprises, Inc., Huntington Beach, CA $971,600.00 The lowest responsive and responsible bid is from Delta Electric, LLC, (Delta) for $564,900. Staff verified the qualifications of the vendor with references provided for similar projects and received positive responses.

This project was approved as part of the Fiscal Year 2020-21 CIP. As such, $351,690 in Park Acquisition (Infill) (510) funding was approved for this project. The City also received grant funding of $262,686 through the State’s Per Capita Allocation program funded through Prop 68 for a total of $614,376 for the design and construction of the project. The design completed by Lin cost $38,780.

$614,376 for the design and construction of the project. The design completed by Lin cost $38,780.

Following approval of the proposed contract, the project will require an additional appropriation of $60,000 to complete.

Therefore, staff is recommending that the City Council 1) approve the contract with Delta to complete the Area Lighting Replacement at Grijalva Park project (20477). The total amount for this proposed contract is in the amount of $621,390, which includes a 10 percent contingency of $56,490; and 2) approve an appropriation of $60,000 from the unreserved Park Acquisition (Infill) (510) fund to the Area Lighting Replacement at Grijalva Park (20477) project. The additional appropriation will be used in the event of unforeseen expenses related to possible construction issues and/or a need for redesign work. Any unused appropriation will go back to the 510 fund balance upon completion of the project.

All work will be done with the intent to minimize disruption to regular park programming or rentals. It may be necessary to restrict access to one or more facilities for specific dates, times, or durations for safety reasons. Signage will be placed at appropriate locations to inform the public of any closures.

Work start date and completion will be contingent upon weather conditions.

7. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Categorical Exemption: The proposed project is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per State CEQA Guidelines 15302 (Class 2 - Replacement or Reconstruction) because the project replaces existing light poles with new light poles in the same locations. The new structures will have substantially the same purpose and capacity as the existing light pole. No public review is required.

ARTICLE 5
Guarantees
a. Contractor guarantees the construction and installation of all Work included in the Plans and Specifications for which Contractor has been awarded this Contract. b. Should any of the materials or equipment installed pursuant to this Contract prove defective or should the Work as a whole prove defective, due to faulty equipment, workmanship, materials furnished or methods of installations, or should said Work or any part thereof fail to function properly, as designed, due to any of the above causes within twelve (12) months after the date on which said Work is accepted by City, Contractor shall make repairs and furnish such materials and equipment as are necessary to be furnished and installed within fifteen (15) calendar days after the receipt of a demand from City.

ARTICLE 6
Water Quality
a. The Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board (“RWQCB”) has issued National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (“NPDES”) Permit No. R8-2009-0030 (the 1044
4 “Permit”), which governs storm water and non-storm water discharges resulting from municipal activities performed by City or its contractors. In order to comply with the Permit requirements, the County of Orange has prepared a Drainage Area Management Plan (“DAMP”), containing Model Maintenance Procedures with Best Management Practices (“BMPs”) that City and its contractors must adhere to. The Model Maintenance Procedures contain pollution prevention and source control techniques to minimize the impact of those activities upon dry-weather urban runoff, storm water runoff, and receiving water quality. Examples include: wash water from cleaning of sidewalks or parking lots must be collected and disposed of in the sewer or landscaped areas.
b. The Permit, the DAMP and the Model Maintenance Procedures are on file in the office of City’s Director of Public Works. Contractor hereby acknowledges that it has read, reviewed and understands the Permit, the DAMP and the Model Maintenance Procedures, as they relate to the Work and hereby shall perform the Work in conformance therewith.

ARTICLE 7
Independent Contractor; Contractor not Agent
a. At all times during the term of this Contract, Contractor shall be an independent contractor and not an employee of City. City shall have the right to control Contractor only insofar as the result of Contractor’s services rendered pursuant to this Contract. City shall not have the right to control the means by which Contractor accomplishes services rendered pursuant to this Contract. Contractor shall, at its sole cost and expense, furnish all facilities, materials and equipment which may be required for furnishing services pursuant to this Contract. Contractor shall be solely responsible for, and shall indemnify, defend and save City harmless from all matters relating to the payment of its subcontractors, agents and employees, including compliance with social security, withholding and all other wages, salaries, benefits, taxes, exactions, and regulations of any nature whatsoever. Contractor acknowledges that Contractor and any subcontractors, agents or employees employed by Contractor shall not, under any circumstances, be considered employees of City, and that they shall not be entitled to any of the benefits or rights afforded employees of City, including, but not limited to, sick leave, vacation leave, holiday pay, Public Employees Retirement System benefits, or health, life, dental, long-term disability or workers' compensation insurance benefits.
b. Except as City may specify in writing, Contractor shall have no authority, express or implied, to act on behalf of City in any capacity whatsoever as an agent. Contractor shall have no authority, express or implied, to bind City to any obligation whatsoever.

ARTICLE 8
Public Work; Prevailing Wage
a. The Work which is the subject of this Contract is a “public work,” as that term is defined in Section 1720 of the California Labor Code, for which prevailing wages must be paid.

To the extent Contractor’s employees will perform any work that falls within any of the classifications for which the Department of Labor Relations of the State of California promulgates prevailing wage determinations, Contractor hereby agrees that Contractor, and any subcontractor under it, shall pay not less than the specified prevailing rates of wages to all such workers. The 1045
5 general prevailing wage determinations for crafts can be located on the website of the Department of Industrial Relations (www.dir.ca.gov/DLSR). Additionally, to perform work under this Contract, Contractor must meet all State registration requirements and criteria, including project compliance monitoring.
b. Attached hereto as Attachment No. 1 and incorporated herein by this reference is a copy of the provisions of Sections 1725.5, 1771, 1771.1, 1771.4, 1775, 1776, 1777.5, 1813 and 1815 of the California Labor Code. Contractor hereby acknowledges that it has read, reviewed and understands those provisions of the Labor Code and shall prosecute and complete the Work under this Contract in strict compliance with all of those terms and provisions. c. Contractor shall secure the payment of compensation to its employees in accordance with the provisions of Section 3700 of the California Labor Code. Accordingly, and as required by Section 1861 of the California Labor Code, Contractor hereby certifies as follows:
“I am aware of the provisions of Section 3700 of the Labor Code which require every employer to be insured against liability for workers' compensation or to undertake self-insurance in accordance with the provisions of that code, and I will comply with such provisions before commencing the performance of the work of this contract.”
d. Contractor shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless City and its officers, employees, contractors and agents, with counsel reasonably acceptable to City, from and against any and all loss, liability, damage, claim, cost, expense, and/or “increased costs” (including reasonable attorney’s fees, court and litigation costs, and fees of expert witnesses) which result or arise in any way from the noncompliance by Contractor of any applicable local, state and/or federal law, including, without limitation, any applicable federal and/or state labor laws (including, without limitation, the requirement to pay state prevailing wages). It is agreed by the parties that, in connection with the construction of the Work which is the subject of this Contract, Contractor shall bear all risks of payment or non-payment of state prevailing wages. “Increased costs” as used in this paragraph shall have the meaning ascribed to it in Labor Code Section 1781, as the same may be enacted, adopted or amended from time to time. The foregoing indemnity shall survive termination of this Contract.

ARTICLE 9
Equal Employment Opportunity
During the performance of this Contract, Contractor agrees as follows:
a.

Such actions shall include, but not be limited to the following: employment, upgrading, demotion or transfer, recruitment or recruitment advertising, layoff or termination, rates of pay or other forms 1046
6 of compensation and selection for training, including apprenticeship. Contractor shall post in conspicuous places, available to employees and applicants for employment, a notice setting forth provisions of this non-discrimination clause.
b. Contractor shall, in all solicitations and advertisements for employees placed by, or on behalf of Contractor, state that all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, mental or physical disability, or any other basis prohibited by applicable law. c. Contractor shall cause the foregoing paragraphs (a) and (b) to be inserted in all subcontracts for any Work covered by this Contract, provided that the foregoing provisions shall not apply to subcontracts for standard commercial supplies or raw materials.

ARTICLE 10
Conflicts of Interest
Contractor agrees that it shall not make, participate in the making, or in any way attempt to use its position as a contractor to influence any decision of City in which Contractor knows or has reason to know that Contractor, its officers, partners, or employees have a financial interest as defined in Section 87103 of the Government Code.

Any and all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, penalties, costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs) which City may directly or indirectly sustain or suffer arising from or as a result of the death of any person or any accident, injury, loss or damage whatsoever caused to any person or the property of any person which shall occur on or adjacent to the real property which is the subject of this Contract, or in connection with performance of this Contract which may be directly or indirectly caused by the acts or omissions of Contractor or its officers, employees, contractors or agents, or as a consequence of any use, generation, manufacture, storage, disposal, release or threatened release of a hazardous waste or substance. Contractor shall not be responsible for (and such indemnity shall not apply to) any willful misconduct, negligence or breach of this Contract by City or its officers, officials, agents, and employees. The foregoing indemnity shall survive termination of this Contract. b. Any and all claims under workers’ compensation acts and other employee benefit acts with respect to Contractor’s employees or Contractor’s subcontractor’s employees arising out of Contractor’s Work under this Contract, including any and all claims under any law pertaining to Contractor’s status as an independent contractor.

ARTICLE 12
Insurance
a. Contractor shall procure and maintain for the duration of this Contract insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damages to property which may arise from or in connection 1047
7 with the performance of the Work hereunder and the results of that Work by Contractor, its agents, representatives, employees or subcontractors. Any umbrella liability insurance that is provided as part of the general or automobile liability minimums set forth below shall be maintained for the duration of the Contract.
b. Contractor shall maintain the following minimum amount of insurance: the greater of either the limits set forth in (1) through (4), below; or all of the insurance coverage and/or limits carried by or available to Contractor.
(1) General Liability $2,000,000 per occurrence for bodily injury, personal injury and property damage. If
Commercial General Liability insurance
or other form with a general aggregate
limit is used, either the general aggregate
limit shall apply separately to this
project/location or the general aggregate
limit shall be twice the required
occurrence limit.
(2) Automobile Liability $1,000,000 per accident for bodily injury and property damage.
(3) Workers’ Compensation as required by the State of California. (4) Employer’s Liability $1,000,000 per accident for bodily injury or disease. c. Any insurance proceeds in excess of or broader than the minimum required coverage and/or minimum required limits which are applicable to a given loss shall be available to City. No representation is made that the minimum insurance requirements of this Contract are sufficient to cover the obligations of Contractor under this Contract. d. Any deductibles or self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by City. At the option of City, either: the insurer shall reduce or eliminate such deductibles or selfinsured retentions with respect to City, its officers, officials, agents and employees; or Contractor shall provide a financial guarantee satisfactory to City guaranteeing payment of losses and related investigations, claim administration, and defense expenses. e. Each policy of general liability and automotive liability insurance shall contain, or be endorsed to contain, the following provisions:
(1) City, its officers, officials, agents, and employees are declared to be additional insureds under the terms of the policy, with respect to liability arising out of automobiles owned, leased, hired or borrowed by or on behalf of Contractor (any auto), and with respect to liability arising out of Work or operations performed by or on behalf of Contractor, including materials, parts or equipment furnished in connection with such Work or operations. A policy endorsement to that effect shall be provided to City along with the certificate of insurance. In lieu of an endorsement, City will accept a copy of the policy(ies) which evidences that City is an 1048
8 additional insured as a contracting party. The minimum coverage required by Subsection 12.b, above, shall apply to City as an additional insured.
(2) For any claims related to this Contract, Contractor’s insurance coverage shall be primary insurance with respect to City, its officers, officials, agents and employees. Any insurance or self-insurance maintained by City, its officers, officials, agents and employees shall be excess of Contractor’s insurance and shall not contribute with it. (3) Coverage shall not be canceled, except after thirty (30) days’ prior written notice has been provided to City.
f. Contractor shall furnish City with original certificates of insurance and endorsements effecting coverage required by this Article 12. The endorsements shall be on forms acceptable to City. All certificates and endorsements are to be received and approved by City before the Work commences. However, failure to do so shall not operate as a waiver of these insurance requirements. City reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies, including endorsements effecting the coverage required by these specifications at any time.
g. All insurance procured and maintained by Contractor shall be issued by insurers admitted to conduct the pertinent line of insurance business in California and having a rating of Grade A or better and Class VII or better by the latest edition of Best Key Rating Guide. h. Contractor shall immediately notify City if any required insurance lapses or is otherwise modified and cease performance of this Contract unless otherwise directed by City. In such a case, City may procure insurance or self-insure the risk and charge Contractor for such costs and any and all damages resulting therefrom by way of set-off from any sums owed Contractor. i. Contractor agrees that in the event of loss due to any of the perils for which it has agreed to provide insurance, Contractor shall look solely to its insurance for recovery. Contractor hereby grants to City, on behalf of any insurer providing insurance to either Contractor or City with respect to the services of Contractor herein, a waiver of any right to subrogation which any such insurer may acquire against City by virtue of the payment of any loss under such insurance.

The Workers’ Compensation policy shall be endorsed with a waiver of subrogation in favor of City for all Work performed by Contractor, its employees, agents and subcontractors. Contractor shall obtain any other endorsement that may be necessary to effect this waiver of subrogation. j. Contractor shall require and verify that all subcontractors maintain insurance meeting all of the requirements stated herein.

If Contractor, or a subcontractor or subconsultant, knowingly employs an employee providing Work under this Contract who is not authorized to work in the United States, and/or fails to follow federal laws to determine the status of such employee, such shall constitute a material breach of this Contract and may be cause for immediate termination of this Contract by City.
