1. SUBJECT
First Amendment to Agreement with OpenGov, Inc. for the City’s budgeting and planning financial program.
2. SUMMARY
In September 2019, the City Council awarded a five-year agreement with OpenGov, Inc. for a financial program used to provide budgeting and planning, organizational performance, and citizen engagement software tools.

3. RECOMMENDED ACTION
Approve the first amendment to agreement with OpenGov, Inc. for budget and planning, organizational performance, and citizen engagement software tools and; authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute on behalf of the City.
4. FISCAL IMPACT
The expense for this amendment is $82,400 and will be funded through the Information Systems Fund (780).

6. DISCUSSION AND BACKGROUND

6. DISCUSSION AND BACKGROUND
The project is part of the annual street maintenance program to replace, at various locations, curb, gutter, sidewalk, driveway, cross gutter, and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) sidewalk access ramps. The Annual Concrete Replacement Project, within the Pavement Management Program (13120), includes a component of annual maintenance services on a scale large enough that these services require an outside contractor. As such, this contract is funded from both the operations and the Capital Improvement Project (CIP) budgets previously approved by the City Council.
Utilizing the City’s Pavement Management Plan (PMP) ranking of the current street conditions, city staff prepared a list of streets requiring pavement rehabilitation for Fiscal Year 2024-2025. The pavement rehabilitation project is scheduled for authorization to advertise later this fiscal year, and this project will replace all the needed concrete improvements like the sidewalk repair and ADA ramps reconstruction in preparation for the pavement rehabilitation work.
The total estimated quantities for concrete replacement are as follows:
Item Quantity Unit Description
1 2,600 LF Curb and Gutter
2 13,000 SF Sidewalk
3 92 EA ADA Sidewalk Access Ramps
4 2,000 SF Cross Gutter and Spandrel
5 600 SF Driveways
LF = Linear Feet, SF = Square Foot, EA = Each
The total cost is estimated at $1,428,570, including 10% for contingencies and construction engineering. Upon receipt of public bids, staff will return to the City Council and recommend any funding adjustments and award of contracts based on the outcome of the public bid.
Construction is scheduled to begin in March 2025 and is expected to be completed within 90 calendar days.
Specifications and cost estimates are available for review in the Public Works Department.
7. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
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 is a maintenance activity performed on existing streets, curbs and gutters that does not create additional capacity. No public review is required.

City of Orange Page 1 of 3 Printed on 11/21/2024
powered by Legistar™ 71
Item #: 3.8. 11/26/2024 File #: 24-0614
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 and 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 have been removed due to corrosion at the base of the poles caused by weather and/or standing irrigation water at the base.
As part of the Area Lighting Replacement at Grijalva Park Capital Improvement Project (20477), the City contracted with Lin Consulting, Inc. (Lin) in 2022 to provide design services and a contract was awarded to Delta Electric, LLC (Delta) in November 2023 in the amount of $621,390 to complete the replacement of the lights.
In May 2024, Delta submitted a written request to the City to release the company of their contract obligations due to outside challenges that impacted their ability to fulfill the terms outlined in the contract. Delta had yet to complete the work and furnish the labor, materials, tools, and equipment necessary to complete this project. In June 2024, the City entered into an Agreement and Release of Claims with Delta, terminating the contract.
Staff issued a new request for bids to complete this project (RFB No. 24-25.06) in August 2024. The City received 6 bids in September 2024:
1. Bear Electrical Solution, LLC, Alviso, CA $630,000.00
2. Metrocell Construction, Inc., Ontario, CA $685,000.00
3. Oppenheimer National, San Juan Capistrano, CA $698,000.00
4. Mel Smith Electric, Inc., Stanton, CA $734,000.00
5. Elecnor Belco Electric, Inc., Chino, CA $779,000.00
6. RMF Contracting, Inc., Anaheim, CA $779,276.00
The lowest responsive and responsible bid is from Bear Electrical Solutions, LLC, (Bear) for $630,000. Staff verified the qualifications of the vendor with references provided for similar projects and received positive responses. Bear’s main office is located in northern California in Alviso, but the servicing office for this project is located in Anaheim.
The starting fund balance for Fiscal Year 2024-25 (FY25) for this project is $634,646, which includes $371,960 in Park Acquisition (Infill) (510) funding and $262,686 in the State’s Per Capita Allocation program funded through Prop 68. Following approval of the proposed contract, the project will require an additional appropriation of $58,354 to complete the project.
All work will be done with the intent of minimizing 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 - City of Orange Page 2 of 3 Printed on 11/21/2024
powered by Legistar™ 72
Item #: 3.8. 11/26/2024 File #: 24-0614
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.

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 and 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 have been removed due to corrosion at the base of the poles caused by weather and/or standing irrigation water at the base.
As part of the Area Lighting Replacement at Grijalva Park Capital Improvement Project (20477), the City contracted with Lin Consulting, Inc. (Lin) in 2022 to provide design services and a contract was awarded to Delta Electric, LLC (Delta) in November 2023 in the amount of $621,390 to complete the replacement of the lights.
In May 2024, Delta submitted a written request to the City to release the company of their contract obligations due to outside challenges that impacted their ability to fulfill the terms outlined in the contract. Delta had yet to complete the work and furnish the labor, materials, tools, and equipment necessary to complete this project. In June 2024, the City entered into an Agreement and Release of Claims with Delta, terminating the contract.
Staff issued a new request for bids to complete this project (RFB No. 24-25.06) in August 2024. The City received 6 bids in September 2024:
1. Bear Electrical Solution, LLC, Alviso, CA $630,000.00
2. Metrocell Construction, Inc., Ontario, CA $685,000.00
3. Oppenheimer National, San Juan Capistrano, CA $698,000.00
4. Mel Smith Electric, Inc., Stanton, CA $734,000.00
5. Elecnor Belco Electric, Inc., Chino, CA $779,000.00
6. RMF Contracting, Inc., Anaheim, CA $779,276.00
The lowest responsive and responsible bid is from Bear Electrical Solutions, LLC, (Bear) for $630,000. Staff verified the qualifications of the vendor with references provided for similar projects and received positive responses. Bear’s main office is located in northern California in Alviso, but the servicing office for this project is located in Anaheim.
The starting fund balance for Fiscal Year 2024-25 (FY25) for this project is $634,646, which includes $371,960 in Park Acquisition (Infill) (510) funding and $262,686 in the State’s Per Capita Allocation program funded through Prop 68. Following approval of the proposed contract, the project will require an additional appropriation of $58,354 to complete the project.
All work will be done with the intent of minimizing 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 - City of Orange Page 2 of 3 Printed on 11/20/2024
powered by Legistar™ 75
Item #: 3.8. 11/26/2024 File #: 24-0614
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.

If awarded the contract, the undersigned agrees to commence the work on under the contract within ten (10) days after the date of issuance by City of Orange of a Notice to Proceed, and complete said work for Project 20477, within 120 calendar 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.
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 proposal 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 proposal 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 proposal 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.
The undersigned deposits the above named security as a proposal guaranty and agrees that it shall be forfeited to the City of Orange as liquidated damages in case this proposal 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. 107

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 amount of the bid for comparison purposes will be the total of all items.
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. 108

“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).

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 with the performance of the Work hereunder and the results of that Work by Contractor, its agents, representatives, employees or subcontractors.

(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

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 self131 insured 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 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.

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 132
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), 139
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:
(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.
(f) This section does 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. Payment of general prevailing rate
140
Except for public works projects of one thousand dollars ($1,000) or less, not less than the general prevailing rate of per diem wages for work of a similar character in the locality in which the public work is performed, and not less than the general prevailing rate of per diem wages for holiday and overtime work fixed as provided in this chapter, shall be paid to all workers employed on public works.
This section is applicable only to work performed under contract, and is not applicable to work carried out by a public agency with its own forces. This section is applicable to contracts let for maintenance work.
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, 141
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) 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 142
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. (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:
143
(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.
(b) The Labor Commissioner may exempt a public works project from compliance with all or part of the requirements of subdivision (a) if either of the following occurs:

(2) The awarding body has entered into a collective bargaining agreement that binds all contractors performing work on the project and that includes a mechanism for resolving disputes about the payment of wages.

(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 144
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 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. 145

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. (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 146
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. (2) An employer shall not be liable for damages in a civil action for any reasonable act or omission taken in good faith in compliance with this subdivision.
(g) The contractor shall inform the body awarding the contract of the location of the records enumerated under subdivision (a), including the street address, city, and county, and shall, within five working days, provide a notice of a change of location and address.
(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.

(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 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 148
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 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. 149
(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.
150
(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. Forfeiture for violations; contract stipulation; report of violations The contractor or subcontractor shall, as a penalty to the state or political subdivision on whose behalf the contract is made or awarded, forfeit twenty- five dollars ($25) for each worker employed in the execution of the contract by the respective contractor or subcontractor for each calendar day during which the worker is required or permitted to work more than 8 hours in any one calendar day and 40 hours in any one calendar week in violation of the provisions of this article. In awarding any contract for public work, the awarding body shall cause to be inserted in the contract a stipulation to this effect. The awarding body shall take cognizance of all violations of this article committed in the course of the execution of the contract, and shall report them to the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement.
Section 1815. Overtime
Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 1810 to 1814, inclusive, of this code, and notwithstanding any stipulation inserted in any contract pursuant to the requirements of said sections, work performed by employees of contractors in excess of 8 hours per day, and 40 hours during any one week, shall be permitted upon public work upon compensation for all hours worked in excess of 8 hours per day at not less than 1 ½ times the basic rate of pay.

Upon receipt of a claim, a public entity and a contractor may, by mutual agreement, extend the time period provided in this subdivision. (B) The claimant shall furnish reasonable documentation to support the claim. (C) If the public entity needs approval from its governing body to provide the claimant a written statement identifying the disputed portion and the undisputed portion of the claim, and the governing body does not meet within the 45 days or within the mutually agreed to extension of time following receipt of a claim sent by registered mail or certified mail, return receipt requested, the public entity shall have up to three days following the next duly publicly noticed meeting of the governing body after the 45-day period, or extension, expires to provide the claimant a written statement identifying the disputed portion and the undisputed portion.

(4) Amounts not paid in a timely manner as required by this section shall bear interest at 7 percent per annum.
(5) If a subcontractor or a lower tier subcontractor lacks legal standing to assert a claim against a public entity because privity of contract does not exist, the contractor may present to the public entity a claim on behalf of a subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor. A subcontractor may request in writing, either on their own behalf or on behalf of a lower tier subcontractor, that the contractor present a claim for work which was performed by the subcontractor or by a lower tier subcontractor on behalf of the subcontractor. The subcontractor requesting that the claim be presented to the public entity shall furnish reasonable documentation to support the claim. Within 45 days of receipt of this written request, the contractor shall notify the subcontractor in writing as to whether the contractor presented the claim to the public entity and, if the original contractor did not present the claim, provide the subcontractor with a statement of the reasons for not having done so. (e) The text of this section or a summary of it shall be set forth in the plans or specifications for any public works project that may give rise to a claim under this section. 154
(f) A waiver of the rights granted by this section is void and contrary to public policy, provided, however, that (1) upon receipt of a claim, the parties may mutually agree to waive, in writing, mediation and proceed directly to the commencement of a civil action or binding arbitration, as applicable; and (2) a public entity may prescribe reasonable change order, claim, and dispute resolution procedures and requirements in addition to the provisions of this section, so long as the contractual provisions do not conflict with or otherwise impair the timeframes and procedures set forth in this section.
(g) This section applies to contracts entered into on or after January 1, 2017. (h) Nothing in this section shall impose liability upon a public entity that makes loans or grants available through a competitive application process, for the failure of an awardee to meet its contractual obligations.
(i) This section shall remain in effect only until January 1, 2027, and as of that date is repealed, unless a later enacted statute, that is enacted before January 1, 2027, deletes or extends that date. 155

SECTION I:
1. The subject Ordinance is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per State CEQA Guidelines (Guidelines) Sections 15060(c)(2) and 15060(c)(3) because review and evaluation of potential impact of the Ordinance demonstrate that it will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, and it is not a "project" as defined in Guideline 15378.
2. The subject Ordinance is exempt from CEQA per Guideline 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty, after review and evaluation of the facts regarding the Zoning Code administrative amendments, that there is substantial evidence that adoption of this Ordinance would not have a significant effect on the environment and the commonsense exemption applies.

Sourcewell and HGAC contracts are nationally solicited, competitively bid, and awarded. National Auto Fleet Group (NAF) was awarded contract No. 091521-NAF for cars, trucks, vans, sports utility vehicles, and others.
Republic EVS, LLC (REVS) was awarded contract No. AM10-23 for ambulances, light and medium EMS/rescue vehicles, mobile and urban command vehicles, and mobile command centers.
Through these cooperative agreements, pricing discounts range from 1% to 26% across 15 manufacturers, depending on the model. The total savings to the City for this purchase is 3%, resulting in a combined savings of $10,285. The total cost for this purchase is $1,339,749. The vehicle descriptions are listed below.

This purchase includes multiple safety vehicles that must be equipped after purchase. In some cases, buying all the necessary components for safety vehicles from a single source is the most efficient option. Emergency vehicles are essential for the community's safety, and reliability is crucial for prompt emergency response. Therefore, staff recommends engaging with Hi Standard Automotive, LLC as a trusted vendor that offers high-quality yet cost-effective parts and has a proven track record in servicing emergency vehicles. The total cost to equip and install safety components on seven pursuit units is $154,220.

1. SUBJECT
Water rate pass-through notice for Calendar Year 2025.
2. SUMMARY
City staff calculated the pass-through charge for Calendar Year 2025 using the formula approved by the City Council in March 2023. The calculation resulted in an additional $0.14 per billing unit adjustment from last year’s rate to offset cost increases in water purchases necessary to supply water to the city.
3. RECOMMENDED ACTION
Receive and file.
4. FISCAL IMPACT
Additional pass-through revenues of $1,428,900 will offset corresponding expenditures for import water and groundwater costs.
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
On March 14, 2023, City Council approved Resolution No. 11437 amending and revising the Master Schedule of Fees and Charges for water rates. This Resolution approved a five-year rate structure and a pass-through formula. The pass-through charge is calculated every year and considers only increases in wholesale water costs that the City will incur. Any such adjustments will only be made to the extent such increases are not already reflected in the schedule of charges. A notice of at least 30 days will be mailed to customers before any adjustments will take effect. The pass-through rate is calculated by assessing the difference in wholesale water purchase costs using the current year’s wholesale rates and the baseline year’s wholesale rates. The additional expense is then divided over the calendar year’s projected usage. This passes through any increase in the City’s water purchase costs.
Based on the results generated by the approved pass-through formula, a pass-through charge of $0.14 per unit over last year’s rate is required for Calendar Year 2025. The pass-through calculation City of Orange Page 1 of 2 Printed on 11/20/2024
powered by Legistar™198
Item #: 3.13. 11/26/2024 File #: 24-0658
$0.14 per unit over last year’s rate is required for Calendar Year 2025. The pass-through calculation considers two major elements contributing to the Water Supply cost: import water costs (Metropolitan Water District of Southern California via the Municipal Water District of Orange County), and groundwater costs (Orange County Water District). The pass-through charge of $0.14 per unit (one unit = 748 gallons), as well as the 4% rate adjustment approved by Council on March 14, 2023, will take effect on January 1, 2025.
The average water customer uses 39 units of water every two months (29,172 gallons). Based on the current water rates, the average customer has a bill of $165.26 bi-monthly. With the 4% rate increase that was approved for January 2025 and the addition of the $0.14 per unit pass-through charge, the average bill will increase to $177.39 bi-monthly. For the average Orange household, this is a total bimonthly increase of $12.13.
The $0.14 per unit adjustment represents approximately $1,428,900 in revenue to the Water Fund.
Ratepayers will receive notices with the pass-through information at least 30 days prior to implementation.

Resolution No. 11437 authorized annual adjustments to the water service rates. The cost increases incurred by the City from the providers of wholesale water are to be passed through as modifications to the water rates.

2 II. Multi-Family
In 2023, the City of Orange retained AECOM to create a set of objective design standards that could be applied to multi-family development in the City. The initiative seeks to maintain compliance of the City's land use policies with changes to California State law. In doing so, the initiative also seeks to contribute to both the streamlining of housing production in the City to improve affordability, while maintaining the high quality of new development that the City of Orange community and future occupants require.
This document contains a set of objective standards specific to multi-family projects in the City for certain multifamily housing projects to implement State Housing Laws. The standards were customized with the help of City Staff, taking into account the City's existing design standards and experiences in the process of reviewing recent multi-family projects.
This document provides the City with a variety of objective standard options to potentially adopt after further City review and community engagement. The standards may also be implemented as a replacement or to add supplementary detail specific existing standards.
Notes for City Staff
In the instance of a conflict between the standards in this document and those in the City of Orange Municipal Code, this document shall prevail.
The notation of a Code Section in brackets prior to the recommended standard indicates the replacement, either wholly or partially, of that existing standard from the City of Orange Municipal Code, with the text recommended i.e. [17.14.070].
Terms that are Capitalized are defined in the Glossary at the end of the document.
Where an ‘OR’ is indicated in the standards, the document is providing options for the City to utilize based on further discussion of its preferences for this area of the standards. The City should utilize one option or the other; options are not intended to be implemented together. 217

2 I. Mixed-Use
In 2023, the City of Orange retained AECOM to create a set of objective design standards that could be applied to mixed-use and multifamily development in the City. The initiative seeks to maintain compliance of the City's land use policies with changes to California State law. In doing so, the initiative also seeks to contribute to both the streamlining of housing production in the City to improve affordability, while maintaining the high quality of new development that the City of Orange community and future occupants require.
This document contains a set of objective standards specific to multifamily or mixed-use projects for certain multifamily housing projects to implement State Housing Laws in the City of Orange's Urban Mixed Use (UMU) and Neighborhood Mixed Use (NMU) zones. The standards were customized with the help of City Staff, taking into account the City's existing design standards and experiences in the process of reviewing recent mixed-use and multi-family projects.
This document provides the City with a variety of objective standard options to potentially adopt after further City review and community engagement. The standards may also be implemented as a replacement or to add supplementary detail specific existing standards.
Notes for City Staff
In the instance of a conflict between the standards in this document and those in the City of Orange Municipal Code, this document shall prevail.
The notation of a Code Section in brackets prior to the recommended standard indicates the replacement, either wholly or partially, of that existing standard from the City of Orange Municipal Code, with the text recommended i.e. [17.19.120].
Terms that are Capitalized are defined in the Glossary at the end of the document.
Where an ‘OR’ is indicated in the standards, the document is providing options for the City to utilize based on further discussion of its preferences for this area of the standards. The City should utilize one option or the other; options are not intended to be implemented together. 235

2 IV. Historic Preservation Standards
In 2023, the City of Orange retained AECOM to create a set of objective design standards that could be applied to mixed-use and multi-family development in the City. The initiative seeks to maintain compliance of the City's land use policies with changes to California State law. In doing so, the initiative also seeks to contribute to both the streamlining of housing production in the City to improve affordability, while maintaining the high quality of new development that the City of Orange community and future occupants require.
As an extension of the task and in consultation with City Staff, AECOM has reviewed the City’s Historic Preservation Design Standards Policy, dated December 12, 2018. The Policy outlines the City’s position for which mixed-use and multi-family development occurring specifically in the Old Towne Historic District zones should conform, and as such the Policy is aligned with the objective standard exercise AECOM was retained for.
This section of the document contains a set of objective standards specific to projects in the Old Towne Historic District in the City for certain multifamily housing projects to implement State Housing Laws. The standards were customized taking into account the City's existing Historic Preservation Design Standards and experiences in the process of reviewing recent multi-family projects.
Historic Preservation Policy Statement
Orange is a special place to live in part because of the historic buildings that help to create the neighborhood character. The purpose of these updated design standards is to preserve the distinct sense of place and unique character of the community through the implementation of local, state, and federal guidance for historic preservation. These standards are intended to complement the City of Orange’s Cultural Resources and Historic Preservation Element and seek to further protect the historic setting and integrity of Orange's historic buildings and neighborhoods.
The Historic Preservation Design Standards apply to all properties located within the Historic District. For historic properties, an evaluation of existing conditions and project compliance with the Secretary of Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation and the applicable City historic preservation design standards shall be conducted. In the case of projects involving non-historic properties (non-contributors), the project shall be evaluated with respect to potential impacts on the integrity of the historic district. This report must be prepared by a historic preservation professional meeting the Secretary of Interior’s Professional Qualifications Standards.
Consultants may be selected from the City’s list of qualified historic preservation professionals. 254

Public Hearing to consider an ordinance to establish Objective Design Standards for certain qualifying housing projects and finding of CEQA exemption.
2. SUMMARY
An ordinance adopting Objective Design Standards by reference in Title 17 for qualified housing projects.
3. RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Adopt Planning Commission Resolution No. PC 29-24. A Resolution of the Planning Commission of the City of Orange recommending that the City Council of the City of Orange adopt Objective Design Standards for qualified housing projects.
2. Find the ordinance categorically exempt from CEQA based on a Class 15378 exemption.
4. AUTHORIZING GUIDELINES
Orange Municipal Code Section 17.08.020 authorizes the Planning Commission to review and make advisory recommendations to the City Council on Zoning Ordinance Amendments.
5. PROJECT BACKGROUND
As State Housing Law continues to evolve, multi-family housing projects with qualifying housing components are increasingly required to be ministerially approved. Specific state laws include, but are not limited to:
1. Senate Bill (SB) 35, that requires the availability of a streamlined ministerial approval process for developments in localities that have not yet made sufficient progress towards their allocation of the Regional Housing Need Assessment (RHNA) fair share.
2. Assembly Bill (AB) 2162 that requires that supportive housing be a use that is permitted by right in zones where multifamily and mixed-use development is permitted.
3. SB 4 that allows faith-based institutions and non-profit colleges to build affordable, multi-family homes by streamlining the permitting process and overriding local zoning restrictions.
4. AB 2011 that allows for ministerial, by-right approval for affordable housing on commercially zoned lands, and also allows such approvals for mixed-income housing along commercial City of Orange Page 1 of 3 Printed on 10/17/2024

corridors, as long as the projects meet specified affordability, labor, and environmental criteria.
Despite the ministerial approval requirement, state law allows the city to apply adopted Objective Design Standards (ODS) to a project brought forward under these laws before it can proceed to building permits (Attachment 1).
6. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Orange Municipal Code (OMC) contains objective development standards (e.g., setbacks, height limits, floor area ratio) but has very few design standards that are objective. The city regularly relies on subjective design guidelines and a discretionary design review process to determine the adequacy and contextual appropriateness of project design. Under state law, this approach can no longer be utilized for multi-family development applications with a qualifying housing component.
Hence, creation of ODS will enable the city to review such applications while retaining the ability to direct the design of new residential development.
The ODS establish the following:
· Site planning standards regulating building orientation, site layout, site access, parking lots and courts, and trash enclosures.
· Standards specific to landscaping, open space requirements for common and private open space, site lighting, and walls and fences.
· Building design standards such as, but not limited to, general building form, building height and massing, façade articulation, roof forms, and placement of doors, entryways, and windows.
· Architectural standards for distinct styles which specify criteria in areas such as architectural features, roof, materials and colors, doors and windows, and decorative details.
The ODS are intended to provide the city with a mechanism to be able to apply design standards to eligible multi-family housing development throughout the city, including historic districts. In doing so, the ODS have been crafted to support both the streamlining of housing production to improve affordability and maintaining the high quality of new development that the Orange community and future occupants deserve and expect. In the instance of a conflict between the standards in this document and those in the OMC, the ODS document shall prevail.
As state housing laws continue to evolve, some of these qualifying housing projects can be located in nonresidential zoning districts. Staff would have the ability to apply the ODS in nonresidential zones should the city receive a qualifying development on such a property.
The ODS are organized around three categories of development scenarios:
· Multi-family development in residential or nonresidential zones · Multi-family development in mixed use zones (as stand-alone residential development or residential development that is part of a mixed use project) · Multi-family development in the Old Towne Historic District In the case of the first two categories, ODS specific to multi-family projects have been customized, building off of existing design and development standards, and lessons learned from the physical City of Orange Page 2 of 3 Printed on 10/17/2024

Item #: 4.2. 10/21/2024 File #: 24-0567
environment resulting from recently implemented projects.
ODS specific to multi-family or mixed-use projects occurring in the Old Towne Historic District build upon, and increase objectivity of, the Historic Preservation Design Standards.
Any housing development applications ineligible for ministerial processing would continue to require the city’s standard discretionary review process.
7. DISCUSSION
The ODS are intended to keep the city in compliance with state law as housing legislation continues to evolve. Without the ODS, the city would be very limited in its ability to apply design standards to eligible multi-family housing development and maintain high quality development throughout the city.
The ODS assist in the implementation of the adopted 2021-2029 Housing Element by addressing Housing Policy Action 2E: Facilitate Infill Construction, in that the adopting of the ODS provides a ministerial process for future qualifying projects.
Old Towne Preservation Association:
On October 2, 2024, city staff met with representatives of the Old Towne Preservation Association (OTPA) and reviewed revisions made to the document in response to input received at the DRC meeting. Background information about the need for, and applicability of, ODS to historic properties was discussed.
8. PUBLIC NOTICE
On October 10, 2024, a notice was published in the Anaheim Bulletin newspaper for a public hearing before the Planning Commission on October 21, 2024.
9. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Categorical Exemption: This Ordinance is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per State CEQA Guidelines Section 15378 (Common Sense Exemption), because it involves administrative activities of the city that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment.
10. ADVISORY BOARD ACTION
Design Review Committee:
On March 20, 2024, the Design Review Committee (DRC) reviewed and provided feedback on the draft ODS. The Committee’s and public feedback were evaluated and factored into the revised draft ODS. A summary of the revisions to the draft ODS based on the DRC’s comments is attached to the staff report (Attachment 4).

lV. Historic Preservation Standards
ln 2023, the City of Orange retained AECOM to create a set of objective design standards that could be applied to mixed-use and multi-family development in the City. The initiative seeks to maintain compliance of the City's land use policies with changes to California State law. ln doing so, the initiative also seeks to contribute to both the streamlining of housing production in the City to improve affordability, while maintaining the high quality of new development that the City of Orange community and future occupants require.
As an extension of the task and in consultation with City Staff, AECOM has reviewed the City's Historic Preservation Design Standards Policy, dated December 12,2018. The Policy outlines the City's position for which mixed-use and multi-family development occurring specifically in the Old Towne Historic District zones should conform, and as such the Policy is aligned with the objective standard exercise AECOM was retained for.

TO: Chair and Members of the Design Review Committee
THRU: Anna Pehoushek, Assistant Community Development Director FROM: Robert Garcia, Senior Planner
1. SUBJECT
Review of Objective Design Standards.
2. SUMMARY
An amendment to Chapter 17.14 and 17.19 of the Orange Municipal Code to incorporate objective residential Design standards for certain multifamily housing projects to implement State Housing Law.
3. RECOMMENDED ACTION
Provide feedback in the draft Objective Design Standards.
5. DISCUSSION AND BACKGROUND
As State Housing Law continues to evolve, multi-family housing projects with affordable components are required to be ministerially approved. Specific state laws include, but are not limited to, Senate Bill (SB) 35, that requires the availability of a streamlined ministerial approval process for developments in localities that have not yet made sufficient progress towards their allocation of the Regional Housing Need Assessment (RHNA) fair share. Assembly Bill (AB) 2162 requires that supportive housing be a use that is permitted by right in zones where multifamily and mixed-use development is permitted. SB 4 applies to faith-based institutions and non-profit colleges to build affordable, multi-family homes by streamlining the permitting process and overriding local zoning restrictions. AB 2011 allows for ministerial, by-right approval for affordable housing on commercially zoned lands, and also allows such approvals for mixed-income housing along commercial corridors, as long as the projects meet specified affordability, labor, and environmental criteria. Despite the ministerial approval requirement, state law does allow the City to apply adopted objective design standards (ODS) to a project before it can proceed to building permits.
The City’s Orange Municipal Code (OMC) has objective development standards but has very few ODS. The City regularly relies on subjective design guidelines and a discretionary design review process to determine the adequacy and contextual appropriateness of project design. This process can no longer be utilized for multi-family development applications with a qualifying affordable component. Hence, creation of ODS will enable the City to review qualifying multi-family housing development applications and retain ability to direct the design of new residential developments.
The ODS document contains a set of standards specific to multifamily and mixed-use projects in the City of Orange's Residential Multifamily zones (R-3 and R-4), Urban Mixed Use (UMU), Neighborhood Mixed Use (NMU), and Old Towne Mixed Use (OTMU-15, OTMU-15S, and OTMU-24) zones. The standards build upon the City's existing design standards and experiences reviewing City of Orange Page 1 of 2 Printed on 3/14/2024

Item #: 4.1. 3/20/2024 File #: 24-0139
zones. The standards build upon the City's existing design standards and experiences reviewing recent mixed-use and multi-family projects. These standards will supplement the existing development standards. In the instance of a conflict between the standards in this document and those in the OMC, the ODS document shall prevail.
The ODS accomplish the following:
• Provide specific site planning standards regulating building orientation, site layout, site access, parking lots and courts, trash enclosures, etc.
• Provide standards specific to landscaping, open space requirements for common and private open space, site lighting, walls and fences, etc.
• Include building design standards such as, but not limited to, general building form, building height and massing, façade articulations, roof forms, doors and entryways, windows, etc. • Include architectural standards for distinct styles which specify criteria in areas such as form and massing, roof, materials and colors, doors and windows, and decorative details.
Any housing development applications ineligible for ministerial processing would continue to require the City’s standard discretionary review process.
9. ADVISORY BOARD RECOMMENDATION
None.
10. PUBLIC NOTICE
No public notification is required for this report to the Design Review Committee.
11. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15378 (Common Sense Exemption) because it will not have a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change on the environment and is not a “project.” For this reason, no further CEQA documentation is required.

6. DISCUSSION AND BACKGROUND
The City’s Neighborhood Permit Parking Program (NPPP) provides a mechanism for protecting residential streets from external parking overflow when certain criteria are satisfied. To streamline the permit parking application process in certain highly parked areas, the City Council established five Permit Parking Opportunity Areas (PPOA’s). PPOA’s are subject to different criteria and procedures.
Specifically, the application fee and parking occupancy study are waived, and the required neighborhood support level is reduced from 75% to 55%.
Permit Parking on Trenton Avenue - PPOA #4
Staff received a written request for permit parking for E. Trenton Avenue between N. Shaffer Street and N. Cleveland Street from an eligible resident on the street. These limits of E. Trenton Avenue are located within PPOA #4. Subsequently, staff mailed petitions to affected property owners. The results of the petition process indicate that 83% of the property owners are in favor of permit parking, 0% were opposed, and 17% did not respond. Because the support exceeds the 55% stipulated in the NPPP, staff supports, and the City Traffic Commission (CTC) recommends implementation of permit parking on the aforementioned street.
Permit Parking on Meats Avenue - PPOA #5
Staff received a written request for permit parking for E. Meats Avenue between N. Cambridge Street and N. Greengrove Street from an eligible resident on the street. These limits of E. Meats Avenue are located within PPOA #5. Subsequently, staff mailed petitions to affected property owners. The results of the petition process indicate that 64% of the property owners are in favor of permit parking, 0% were opposed, and 36% did not respond. Because the support exceeds the 55% stipulated in the NPPP, staff supports, and the CTC recommends implementation of permit parking on the aforementioned street.
Based on the above, three options are presented for the City Council’s consideration:
· Option 1 would approve permit parking on both Trenton and Meats Avenues; · Option 2 would approve permit parking on only Trenton Avenue; and · Option 3 would approve permit parking on only Meats Avenue.
It should be noted that property owners of any other street(s) within PPOA #4 and/or #5 may request permit parking in the future by following the procedures described above. Furthermore, permit parking does not supersede other parking restrictions such as street sweeping. Participation in the permit program is voluntary. However, any vehicle parked on the street without a permit after implementation is subject to citation.
