22 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT

INFORMATION/CONSENT AGENDA
AGENDA ITEM NO. K.2

DATE: April 16, 2024

TO: City Council

FROM: Alexander Hamilton, Fire Chief, (805) 385-7700, [email protected]

SUBJECT: Ratification of Authorization to be a Sub-Recipient of the California Opportunity Youth Apprenticship (COYA) Grant.

RECOMMENDATION

That City Council ratifies the authorization of the Fire Department to be a Sub-Recipient of the California Opportunity Youth Apprenticeship (COYA) Grant.

BACKGROUND

Resolution No. 15, 748 (2023) authorizes the City Manager to submit a grant application if:

a). The required matching funds or services (including the operational and maintenance costs) do not exceed $200,000 and have been previously appropriated;
b). The matching funds and grant do not obligate the City to add any FTEs; c). The purpose of the grant implements, and is consistent with, previously adopted Council priorities or City policies, goals, or objectives, and
d). The grant proposal has been approved for submission by the appropriate department director(s).

Additionally, in the rare instance the City Manager determines a grant application is due before the next Council meeting, s/he may authorize any grant application, but it must be ratified at the next available City Council meeting.

The purpose of the California Opportunity Youth Apprenticeship (COYA) Grant is to create a Pre-Apprenticeship Program, partnering with the California Firefighter Joint Apprenticeship Committee (Cal-JAC) and Public Works Alliance (PWA), to recruit, train, support and position opportunity youth for successful careers in the fire service, and an opportunity to earn an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) certificate and be listed on the Firefighter Candidate Testing Center (FCTC) Statewide Eligibility List (SEL) for firefighter career opportunities.

The EMS Corps is an Employment Development Department (EDD) initiative consisting of a five-month EMT training program designed to provide opportunity for under-represented, minority, underserved, and disadvantaged young adults. The model incorporates a wide range of wrap-around services to include case management, tutoring, physical and mental health, mentorship, legal support and a paid monthly stipend. The program is modeled after the Alameda EMS Corps, a program that has trained over 500 young people for careers in healthcare, fire and law enforcement - many of whom were in the juvenile justice or foster care system.

DISCUSSION

In January 2024, the Oxnard Fire Department was selected as the lead agency to host an EMS Corps site in Ventura County. Current funding will support three cohorts of twenty students. COYA funds will be used to support and enhance our existing Workforce Development Grant received through the PWA and the EDD. The Fire Department will be a sub- recipient to the PWA as one of three geographical sub-recipients in California. The COYA grant, spanning a term of 2.5 23 years (30 months), offers awards ranging from $500,000.00 to $2,000,000.00. The Fire Department's sub-award is valued at $600,000.00, with no matching funds required. The grant does not require the City to add any FTEs.

Through the COYA grant and partnership with Cal-JAC and PWA, we would extend our cohorts and enhance our EMS Corp model to include prep and testing for the Cal-JAC’s Candidate Physical Ability Test (CPAT), as well as the entry- level Firefighter Written Exam. This would position them for the Firefighter Candidate Testing Center (FCTC) Statewide Eligibility List (SEL), a hiring list used by over 170 fire departments in California, many of whom participate in the Cal- JAC apprenticeship program. This opens the door to higher-paying jobs and a pathway to a career in the fire service. In doing so, we would support the Public Works Alliance as a Pre-Apprenticeship Program linked to CAL-JAC’s existing RAP.

The department will oversee the program’s operations including outreach, case management, recruitment, EMT training, physical training and preparation for the Firefighter Written Exam.

STRATEGIC PRIORITIES

This agenda item supports Public Safety strategy. The purpose of the Public Safety strategy is to restore and modernize the delivery of public safety services to provide for the safety of our neighborhoods and health of our community.

FINANCIAL IMPACT

There is no financial impact.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT

INFORMATION/CONSENT AGENDA
AGENDA ITEM NO. K.3

DATE: April 16, 2024

TO: City Council

FROM: Michael Wolfe, Public Works Director, (805) 385-8055, [email protected]

SUBJECT: Public Project Agreement 32400427 with Garcia’s Landscaping & Maintenance, Inc. for Seabridge Park Bench Installation Project, Specification No. SD 24-82.

RECOMMENDATION

That the City Council approve and authorize the Mayor to execute an Agreement with Garcia’s Landscaping & Maintenance, Inc. in the amount not to exceed $12,650 for the installation of park benches at Community Facilities District No. 4.

(Public Works and Transportation Committee approved 3-0 on March 26, 2024.)

BACKGROUND

The Special Districts Division of the Public Works Department is responsible for the maintenance, operation, and administration of the City’s 50 Special Districts, including Community Facilities District No. 4 (“CFD-4” or “Seabridge”). Each of these Special Districts have specific individual authorized services and improvements, including but not limited to; park landscapes, open spaces, parkways, medians, other public improvements, and recreation and park amenities such as picnic shelters, restrooms, arbors, and fountains. Properties within each District are assessed an annual parcel assessment for the purposes of maintaining these and other authorized services and improvements within their District.

The Seabridge CFD was established in 2004 to pay for the cost and expense of providing public services within the development, which includes, but is not limited to the following (per Formation Documents):

-Maintenance of parks, parkways, and open-space.
-The dredging and remediation costs to maintain the adjacent waterways and public boat docks. -Costs incurred in the establishment of the District and levy of the special tax. -The administrative costs of the District that are provided by the City of Oxnard. -Flood control and storm drain protection services.
-Police protection services that include the enforcement of City Codes relating to the waterways.

CFD-4 is the second largest special financing district that is managed by the Special Districts Division of Public Works. CFD-4 is a 122-acre development and is directly managed by a Project Manager and Landscape Maintenance Inspectors, who perform direct maintenance and inspect the contracted services.

CFD-4 contains various amenities throughout the area including park benches along walking paths and within the community’s park spaces. These benches were installed with the construction of the community and are at least 18 years old. Over time, these benches have become worn due to age, regular use, and their proximity to the ocean which causes deterioration of metal fittings and hardware over time. During meetings with the Seabridge Homeowners Association (“HOA”), 30 benches were identified as needing to be replaced for age, wear, and safety reasons. The lowest bidder, Garcia’s Landscaping & Maintenance, Inc. (“Garcia’s”), currently holds Council-approved agreements with the City that 26 are worth more than $200,000 for Fiscal Year 2023-24. Therefore, staff is required, in accordance with the City’s Purchasing Policy, to bring this Agreement to the City Council for their consideration.

Agreement 32400427 is a new stand-alone Professional Services Agreement and not an extension of any current or previous Agreements or Amendments.

DISCUSSION

Informal bids for the Project were solicited via email on December 20, 2023, with a requested response by January 9, 2024. Special Districts received two (2) responses - one (1) from Garcia’s Landscaping & Maintenance, Inc. and one (1) from Mariposa Landscapes Inc. in the amounts shown below. Haddad Concrete was solicited, but did not respond with a bid prior to the January 9, 2024 deadline.

Garcia’s Landscaping & Maintenance, Inc.: $12,650
Mariposa Landscapes Inc.: $22,500
Haddad Concrete: Did not respond

Staff has confirmed that Garcia’s meets all required City contractual provisions, including possession of a City business, tax certificate, insurance certificates, and corporate filings with the California Secretary of State. Based upon the available information, research performed to date, and past services provided by the company to the City, staff believes that the contractor is capable of satisfactorily providing the necessary services.

All services provided will be based on available funding and Garcia’s will only be compensated for those services that they actually provide.

Services to be completed by the Contractor are categorized as follows:

1. Demolition of existing concrete

2. Removal of existing bench supports

3. Installation of new bench footings and new bench seats, and all other appurtenant and associated work in accordance with the Contract Documents.

The work is tentatively scheduled to begin on 4/24/24 and continue through 6/28/24 (45 business days) absent any delays. Staff will keep the Seabridge HOA informed of the schedule and any delays.

STRATEGIC PRIORITIES

This agenda item supports the Infrastructure and Natural Resources strategy. The purpose of the Infrastructure and Natural Resources strategy is to preserve and improve our roads, utilities, parks, trees, water supply and natural resources through effective planning, prioritization, and an equitable and efficient use of available funding.

FINANCIAL IMPACT

The total cost for this Project shall not exceed $12,650 and will be funded in its entirety from the CFD-4 Professional Services account, 60403801-53200.

Although this was an informal bid for an amount below the purchasing authority of the Public Works Director and Purchasing Manager, Garcia currently holds Council-approved agreements with the City worth more than $200,000 for Fiscal Year 2023-24. Therefore, staff is required, in accordance with the City’s Purchasing Policy, to bring this agreement to City Council for approval.

There is no impact on the General Fund.

COMMITTEE OUTCOME

27 The Public Works and Transportation Committee approved 3-0 on March 26, 2024 to approve the staff recommendation and to forward the item for Council approval.

City shall return to Co ntractor any payment request determined not to be a proper payment request as soon as practicable, but not later than 7 days after receipt, and shall explain in writing the reasons why the payment request is not proper. By accepting payment of undisputed amounts, Contractor releases all claims against City arising by virtue of the Agreement related to those amounts; any disputed Agreement claims in stated amounts are excluded from the operation of this release.

7. Non-binding Terms . Any terms and conditions t hat are typed, printed, or otherwise included in any Contractor invoice rendered pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be solely for the convenience of the parties. No 30 Agreement No. 32400427

Page 2 of 8 ends

such term or condition shall be binding upon City, and no action by City (includ ing, without limitation, the payment of any such invoice in whole or in part) shall be construed as binding City with respect to any such term or condition, unless the specific term or condition has been previously agreed to by Licensor and City in this Ag reement or in a binding amendment thereto.

8. Retention. If this Agreement is for creating, constructing, altering, repairing, or improving any public structure, building, road, or other improvement of any kind which will exceed in cost a total of $5,000, Cit y shall withhold 5% of the Total Agreement Amount until final completion and acceptance of the Project.

9. Substitute Securities. In accordance with PCC Section 22300, Contractor may submit a written request that it be permitted to substitute securities in lieu of having retention withheld by City from progress payments when such payments become due or, in the alternative, Contractor may request that City make payments of earned retentions directly to an agreed upon designated escrow agent at Contractor’s expense.

10. Advertising and Publicity . Contractor shall not use the name of or refer to City directly or indirectly in any advertisement, news release, or professional or trade publication without prior written approval from the City Manager.

City shall have the option of inspecting, auditing and/or reproducing all records and other written materials: used by Contractor in preparing its billings to City as a condition precedent to any payment to Contractor; or for other purposes relating to the Agreement. Contractor will promptly furnish all documents requested by City. Additionally, if this Agreement is in excess of $10,000, the State Auditor may examine and audit Contractor for a period of 3 years after final payment under the Agreement. Regardless of whether a State audit is permitted, Contractor shall maintain and preserve all such records for a period of at least 3 years after final payment under the Agreement or until an audit has been completed and accepted by City, whichever occurs later. Contractor shall maintain all such records in City or to promptly reimburse City for all reasonable costs incurred in conducting the audit at a location other than in City, including but not limited to e xpenses for personnel, salaries, private auditor, travel, lodging, meals and overhead. Contractor shall include a copy of this Section 11 in all contracts with its subcontractors, and Contractor shall be responsible for immediately obtaining those records or other written material from its subcontractors upon a request by the State Auditor and/or City.

12. Liquidated Damages . The Project must be completed by the “(7) Project Completion Date” on the Cover Page. Failure of Contractor to complete the work by this date will result in damages being sustained by City and its constituents, including in some cases impairing other contracts that rely on the original completion date. Such damages are, and will continue to be, impracticable and extremely difficult to deter mine. For each calendar day beyond the original completion date, unless such delay is excused under Section 4 of this Agreement or unless City provided a written time extension, Contractor shall pay to City, or City may withhold from monies due to Contractor, the amount listed as “(8) Liquidated Damages Amount” on the Cover Page. Execution of the Agreement shall constitute agreement by City and Contractor that the amount listed as “(8) Liquidated Damages Amount” on the Cover Page per calendar day is the min imum value of the costs and actual damage caused by the failure of Contractor to complete the Project within the allotted time.

Such sum shall not be construed as a penalty. The Project shall be deemed to be complete when the same has been actually completed in accordance with the plans and specifications therefor and to the satisfaction of City. The Project must be accepted or certified by City in writing.

13. Unresolved Disputes.
a. In the event of any dispute or controversy with City over any matter, Contractor shall not cause any delay in or cessation of work, but shall proceed with full performance of all work. This includes but is not limited to disputed time extensions, requests and prices for changes, damages, tort claims and any other amount the payment of which is disputed by either party. The disputed work will be categorized as an “unresolved dispute” and payment, if any, shall be as later determined by mutual written agreement or a court of law. Contractor shall keep accurate, detailed records of all disputed work, claims and other such matters. All claims arising out of or related to this Agreement or the Project, and the consideration and payment of such claims, are subject to the Government Claims Act (Government Code Section 810 et seq.) with regard to filing claims and to PCC Section 20104 et seq . (“Article 1.5”) regarding the resolution of public works claims of $375,000 or less. This Agreement hereby incorporates those provisions as through fully set forth herein.

Additionally, if this Project is f or the erection, construction, alteration, repair, or improvement of any public structure, building, road, or other public improvement of any kind, PCC Section 9204 shall apply to all claims, which are separate Contractor demands sent by registered mail or certified mail with return receipt requested, for one or more of the following:
a time extension, including, without limitation, for relief from damages or penalties for delay assessed by City; City’s payment of money or damages arising from work done by, or on behalf of, Contractor pursuant to the Agreement and payment for which is not otherwise expressly provided or to which the claimant is not otherwise entitled; and payment of an amount that is disputed by City. Contractor must furnish reasonable docum entation to support the claim. City must 31 Agreement No. 32400427

Page 3 of 8 ends

respond within 45 days, and if Contractor disputes City’s response, or if City fails to respond within the time prescribed in PCC Section 9204, Contractor may demand an informal conference to meet and confer for set tlement of the issues in dispute; that demand must be in writing sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested. After that conference , any remaining disputed portion of the claim, as identified by Contractor in writing, must be submitted to nonbinding mediation, with City and Contractor sharing the associated costs equally. Unless otherwise agreed to by City and Contractor in writing, this mediation shall excuse any further obligation under Section 20104.4 to mediate after litigation has been commenced. If a subcontractor lacks legal standing to assert a claim against City because privity of contract does not exist, Contractor may present to City a claim on behalf of that subcontractor in accordance with PCC Section 9204.

14. Termination. City may terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without cause and without penalty, by giving written notice to Contractor. That notice shall specify the effective date of termination, or the effective date of termination shall be 10 calendar days after th e notice. Unless City asserts that Contractor has breached the Agreement, City shall pay Contractor for all services satisfactorily rendered (as determined by City) before the effective date of terminatio n, and such payment shall be in full satisfaction of all services rendered hereunder.

This duty to defend, indemnify and hold harmless shall apply to all Claims regardless of whether any insurance policies are applicable, whether insurance proceeds, if any, were received by one or more Responsible Parties and/or Indemnitees, and/or whether the Claim was caused in part or contributed to by any and all Indemnitee(s). Contractor shall reimburse all Indemnitee(s) for all legal expenses and costs incurred by him, her, it or them in connection with any of these requirements or in enforcing this provision. e.

2. Contractor agrees that all insurance coverages shall be provided by a California admitted insurance carrier with an A.M. Best rating of A:VII or better and shall be endorsed to state that coverage may not be suspended, voided, canceled by either party, or reduced in coverage or limits without 30 days’ prior written notice to the Risk Manager.

3.

INSTRUCTION FOR SUBMITTING INSURANCE CERTIFICATES AND ENDORSEMENT FORMS

The sample accord form on the following page is provided to facilitate your preparation and submission of certificates of insurance. You may use this or any industry form that shows coverage as broad as that shown on the attached sample. Please note the certificate holder address must be as shown on the attached sa mple accord form with the contract number and insurance exhibit identification information completed. Improperly addressed certificates may delay the contract start -up date because the City’s practice is to return unidentifiable insurance certificates to t he insured for clarification as to the contract number. Cancellation provisions must be endorsed to the policy. Modifying the certificate does not change coverage or obligate the carrier to provide notice of cancellation.

Endorsement Forms
Original endorsements are required for general liability and automobile liability insurance policies and must be attached to the appli cable certificate of insurance. City preference is that you use the endorsement forms which are attached. Substitute forms will be accepted, however, as long as they include provisions comparable to the attached.

INFORMATION/CONSENT AGENDA
AGENDA ITEM NO. K.4

DATE: April 16, 2024

TO: City Council

FROM: Michael Wolfe, Public Works Director, (805) 385-8055, [email protected]

SUBJECT: Public Project Agreement 32400383 with Best Contracting Services, Inc. for On-Call Roofing Maintenance and Minor Repair Services Project, Specification No. PW 23-95.

RECOMMENDATION

That the City Council authorize the Mayor to execute an Agreement with Best Contracting Services, Inc. for a total amount not to exceed $190,000 for a maximum two-year term for on-call roofing maintenance and repair services.

(Public Works and Transportation Committee approved 3-0 on March 26, 2024.)

BACKGROUND

The City has a number of contract service agreements for the maintenance and repair of City buildings. Current agreements include services for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, elevator maintenance, industrial door repair, pest control, inspection and repair of fire suppression systems, and inspection and repair of fire alarm systems. These agreements provide regulatory compliance, technical expertise, as well as staff support during periods of high demand or for after-hours services.

There are currently two Agreements with Best Contracting Services, Inc.:

The first Agreement (9697-22-PW) was issued on July 12, 2022 for the Facilities Division on-call roofing services in the amount not to exceed $190,000. This Agreement expires on July 11, 2024. However, the not-to-exceed limit has been reached and a new on-call roofing services agreement is necessary.

The second Agreement (32400176) was issued to the Wastewater Division for on-call roofing services as an exclusive on- call service agreement with Best Contracting, Inc. in the amount not to exceed $185,000. As an exclusive on-call Agreement, this only services the Wastewater facilities.

DISCUSSION

On December 4, 2023, the City released a Request for Bid (RFB) No. PW 23-95 for on-call roofing maintenance and repair services for the Facilities Division. The RFB closed on January 10, 2024, and the City received two bid proposals.

Best Contracting Services, Inc. was the lowest responsive bidder. Procurement staff have verified possession of the required and currently valid licenses, reviewed the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) website for safety violations, and verified registration with the California Department of Industrial Relations (DIR).

Based upon the available information and research performed to date, staff believes that the contractor is capable of satisfactorily performing this Agreement.

Since Best Contracting, Inc. has an existing Agreement with the Wastewater Division, City Council approval is required for the new Agreement with the Facilities Division because the aggregate for this vendor will exceed the annual purchasing limit of $200,000 by a single vendor, per the City’s Purchasing Policy. 69 Work under this Agreement will be issued through task orders at the direction of the Project Manager.

STRATEGIC PRIORITIES

This agenda item supports the Infrastructure and Natural Resources strategy. The purpose of the Infrastructure and Natural Resources strategy is to preserve and improve our roads, utilities, parks, trees, water supply and natural resources through effective planning, prioritization, and an equitable and efficient use of available funding.

FINANCIAL IMPACT

The total cost for this Agreement shall not exceed $190,000 over a two-year contract term. Services will only be provided with available funding within the City Council-approved Facilities Maintenance (Fund 735) operations budget or with available funds from the City Council-approved operating budgets of the department or division requesting the services.

COMMITTEE OUTCOME

The Public Works and Transportation Committee approved 3-0 on March 26, 2024 to approve the staff recommendation and to forward the item for Council approval.

DATE: April 16, 2024

TO: City Council

FROM: Michael Wolfe, Public Works Director, (805) 385-8055, [email protected]

SUBJECT: Public Project Agreement 32400262 with Central Coast Engineering for On-Call Plumbing Maintenance and Minor Repairs Services, Specification No. PW 23-105.

RECOMMENDATION

That the City Council authorize the Mayor to execute an Agreement with Central Coast Engineering for a total amount not to exceed $196,000 for a one-year term for on-call plumbing maintenance and repair services.

(Public Works and Transportation Committee approved 3-0 on March 26, 2024.)

BACKGROUND

The City has a number of contract service agreements for the maintenance and repair of City buildings. Current agreements include services for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, elevator maintenance, industrial door repair, pest control, inspection and repair of fire suppression systems, and inspection and repair of fire alarm systems. These agreements provide regulatory compliance, technical expertise, as well as staff support during periods of high demand or for after-hours services.

On July 15, 2022, the City Manager approved the current on-call plumbing services agreement (9665-22-PW) with Central Coast Engineering for $185,000, which expires on July 15, 2024. However, due to the significant amount of deferred maintenance that needs to be addressed at City facilities, the not-to-exceed limit will be reached prior to the term date, and a new on-call roofing services agreement is necessary.

DISCUSSION

On August 2, 2023, the City provided notice and released a Request for Bid (RFB) No. 23-105, for on-call plumbing maintenance and repair services. The RFB closed on August 22, 2023, and Central Coast Engineering was the only responsive bidder. Staff proceeded with a Negotiated Single Source (NSS) Agreement since Central Coast Engineering was the only bid response. Procurement staff have verified possession of the required and currently valid licenses, reviewed the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) website for safety violations, and verified registration with the California Department of Industrial Relations (DIR). Based upon the available information and research performed to date, staff believes that the contractor is capable of satisfactorily performing this Agreement.

Central Coast Engineering was awarded a previous agreement (with a total amount of $185,000 as noted above) for on- call plumbing maintenance and repair services which has $50k remaining in this fiscal year. As such, City Council approval is required because this new agreement for $196,000 will exceed the annual purchasing limit of $200,000 by a single vendor, per the City’s Purchasing Policy, when adding in the existing contract with a remaining amount of $50k this fiscal year.

Work under these agreements will be issued through task orders at the direction of the Project Manager.

95 STRATEGIC PRIORITIES

This agenda item supports the Infrastructure and Natural Resources strategy. The purpose of the Infrastructure and Natural Resources strategy is to preserve and improve our roads, utilities, parks, trees, water supply and natural resources through effective planning, prioritization, and an equitable and efficient use of available funding.

FINANCIAL IMPACT

The total cost for this Agreement shall not exceed $196,000 for the one-year contract term. Services will only be provided with available funding within the City Council-approved Facilities Maintenance (Fund 735) operations budget or with available funds from the City Council-approved operating budgets of the department or division requesting the services.

COMMITTEE OUTCOME

The Public Works and Transportation Committee approved 3-0 on March 26, 2024 to approve the staff recommendation and to forward the item for Council approval.

Exhibit INS-D

INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS FOR SMALL/MEDIUM CONSTRUCTION AND SERVICES CONTRACTS (WITHOUT BUILDER’S RISK REQUIREMENT)

1. Contractor shall obtain and maintain during the performance of any services under this Contract the following insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damages to property which may arise from or in connection with the performance of services hereunder by Contractor, its agents, representatives, employees or subcontractors.

a. Commercial General Liability Insurance, including Contractual Liability, in an amount not less than $1,000,000 combined single limit for bodily injury and property damage for each claimant for general liability with coverage equivalent to Insurance Services Office Commercial General Liability Coverage (Occurrence Form CG 0001). If a general aggregate limit is used, that limit shall apply separately to the project location or shall be twice the occurrence amount;

b. Business Automobile Liability Insurance in an amount not less than $1,000,000 combined single limit for bodily injury and property damage for each claimant for automobile liability with coverage equivalent to Insurance Services Office Automobile Liability Coverage (Occurrence Form CA0001) covering Code No. 1, “any auto;”

c. If architectural, engineering, or electrical work will be performed under the Contract, Professional Liability/Errors and Omissions Insurance appropriate to the work being done in an amount not less than $1,000,000, with neither Contractor nor listed subcontractors having less than $500,000 individually. The Professional Liability/Errors and Omissions Insurance must be project specific with at least a one-year extended reporting period, or longer upon request.

d. Workers’ Compensation Insurance in compliance with the laws of the State of California, and Employer’s Liability Insurance in an amount not less than $1,000,000 per claimant.

Additionally, the workers’ compensation policy shall
include a waiver of all rights of subrogation which the insurer may have against the City.

2. Contractor shall, prior to performance of any services, file with the Risk Manager certificates of insurance with original endorsements effecting coverage required by this Exhibit INS-D. The certificates and endorsements for each insurance policy are to be signed by a person authorized by that insurer to bind coverage on its behalf. The certificates and endorsements are to be on the attached forms or on other forms approved by the Risk Manager. All certificates and endorsements are to be received and approved by the Risk Manager before work commences. City reserves the right to require complete certified copies of all required insurance policies at any time.

The certificates of insurance and endorsements shall be sent via email. If you have not received your request or are having difficulty with electronic upload, contact [email protected]

3. Contractor agrees that all insurance coverages shall be provided by a California admitted insurance carrier with an A.M. Best rating of A:VII or better and shall be endorsed to state that coverage may not be suspended, voided, canceled by either party, or reduced in coverage or limits without 30 days’ prior written notice to the Risk Manager. The Risk Manager shall not approve or accept any endorsement if the endorsement contains “best effort” modifiers or if the insurer is relieved from the responsibility to give such notice.

4. Contractor agrees that the Commercial General Liability and Business Automobile Liability Insurance policies shall be endorsed to name City, its City Council, officers, employees and volunteers as additional insureds as respects: liability arising out of activities performed by or on behalf of Contractor; products and completed operations of Contractor; premises owned, occupied or used by Contractor; or automobiles owned, leased, hired or borrowed by Contractor. The coverage shall contain no special limitations on the scope of protection afforded to City, its City Council, officers, employees and volunteers. The General Liability Special Endorsement Form and Automobile Liability Special Endorsement Form attached to this Exhibit INS-D or substitute forms containing the same information and acceptable to the Risk Manager shall be used to provide the endorsements (ISO form CG 2010 11/85 or if not available, CG 2010 with an edition date prior to 01/04 and CG 2037).

5. The coverages provided to City shall be primary and not contributing to or in excess of any existing City insurance or self-insurance coverages (this must be endorsed). Additionally, the workers’ compensation policy shall include a waiver of all rights of subrogation which the insurer may have against the City. Any failure to comply with reporting provisions of the policies shall not affect coverage provided to City, its City Council, officers, employees and volunteers. The insurance shall apply separately to each insured against whom claim is made or suit is brought, except with respect to the limits of the insurer’s liability.

100
Agreement No.: 32400262

6. Any deductibles or self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by the Risk Manager. At the option of the Risk Manager, either the insurer shall reduce or eliminate such deductibles or self-insured retentions as respects City, its City Council, officers, employees and volunteers, or the Contractor shall procure a bond guaranteeing payment of losses and related investigations, claim administration and defense expenses.

7. All insurance standards applicable to Contractor shall also be applicable to Contractor’s subcontractors. Contractor agrees to maintain appropriate agreements with subcontractors and to provide proper evidence of coverage upon receipt of a written request from the Risk Manager.

INSTRUCTION FOR SUBMITTING INSURANCE CERTIFICATES AND ENDORSEMENT FORMS

Certificates of Insurance

The sample accord form on the following page is provided to facilitate your preparation and submission of certificates of insurance. You may use this or any industry form that shows coverage as broad as that shown on the attached sample.

Please note the certificate holder address must be as shown on the attached sample accord form with the contract number and insurance exhibit identification information completed. Improperly addressed certificates may delay the contract start -up date because the City’s practice is to return unidentifiable insurance certificates to the insured for clarification as to the contract number. Cancellation provisions must be endorsed to the policy. Modifying the certificate does not change coverage or obligate the carrier to provide notice of cancellation.

Endorsement Forms

Original endorsements are required for general liability and automobile liability insurance policies and must be attached to the applicable certificate of insurance. City preference is that you use the endorsement forms which are attached. Substitute forms will be accepted, however, as long as they include provisions comparable to the attached.

“If the Contractor has fallen behind any Task’s approved baseline construction schedule, as modified by such time extension as may have been granted by the City for unavoidable delays, by more than twenty percent (20%) of the total number of Working Days for each Task, the Contractor shall submit a recovery schedule to the Project Manager that exactly indicates measures of schedule recovery including, but not limited to, revised methods of procurement, revised sequencing of Work, and any additional measures such as increasing the number of personnel, shifts, overtime operations, Working Days, amount of constr uction equipment until such time as the Task is back on schedule. All costs required to bring the Task back on schedule shall be borne by the Contractor without additional cost to the City.

If the Contractor falls behind any Task’s approved baseline construction schedule, as modified by such time extension as may have been granted by the City for unavoidable delays, by more than thirty-five percent (35%) of the total number of Working Days for each Task—or if the Contractor is being paid a lump sum, by more than three (3) Working Days —the City can deem that the Contractor is in material breach of the Contract, in which case the Work shall be turned over to the Surety for completion.

Alternatively, if the Project Manager determines that the Contractor is fail ing to prosecute the Work to the proper extent, the Project Manager may issue an order of noncompliance in any form or manner. If the order is in writing, the Project Manager has the option of listing the steps required to remedy the situation and reasonable deadlines for each step. The Project Manager may also provide that if such steps are not taken within such listed deadlines, then an amount of listed in the Task Order as the liquidated damages for that particular Task may be assessed for each Calendar Day of delay as a result of damages being sustained by the City that are, and will continue to be, impracticable and extremely difficult to determine. The City may assess liquidated damages in accordance with Section 6- 9 and these General Provisions. Execution of the Task Order shall constitute agreement by the City and the Contractor that the listed amount per Calendar Day is the minimum value of the costs and actual damage caused by the failure of the Contractor to prosecute the Task according to the construction schedule. Such sum is similar to liquidated damages, shall not be construed as a penalty, and may be deducted from payments due to the Contractor if such delay occurs.

These options are available in addition to all other options in the Greenbook or as otherwise legally available.”

6-4 DELAYS AND EXTENSIONS OF TIME.
6-4.1 General.

Greenbook Section 6-4.1, which is not incorporated, shall be completely replaced as follows:
“If delays are caused by unforeseen events beyond the control of the Contractor, and the Project Manager approves the unforeseen events, such delays may entitle the Contractor to an extension of the Task’s time as provided in the Task Order, but the Contractor will not be entitled to damages or additional payment due to such delays, except as otherwise specified in 6-4.3. In any case, no extension of time will be granted for a delay caused by the inability to obtain materials unless the Contractor obtains from the supplier and furnishes to the Engineer documentary proof that such materials could not be obtained due to war, government regulations, labor disputes, strikes, fires, floods, adverse weather necessitating the cessation of work, or other similar action of the elements. No time extension will be granted for delays which do not affect the critical path of the baseline construction schedule on any Task.

Unless otherwise agreed to in writing, an adjustment to the Task’s time by reason of a Change Order shall be agreed to at the time the Change Order is issued and accepted by Contractor. If the Change Order does not reserve the rights of the parties, or either of them, to seek an adjustment to the Task’s time, then the parties forever relinquish and waive such rights and there shall be no further adjustments to the Task’s time.
6-4.2 Extensions of Time.

The following shall be added to Greenbook Section 6-4.2:
“In the event it is deemed appropriate by the City to extend the time for completion of the Work on any Task, any such extension shall not release any guarantee for the Work required by the Contract Documents, nor shall any such extension of time relieve or release the Sureties on the Bonds executed. In executing such Bonds, the Sureties shall be deemed to have expressly agreed to any such extensions of time without additional notice. The amount of time allowed by an extension shall be limited to the period of the delay giving rise to that extension as determined by the City. Notwithstanding any dispute which may arise in connection with a claim for adjustment of the Task’s time, the Contractor shall promptly proceed with the Work.” 6-4.3 Payment for Delays.

The following shall be added to Greenbook Section 6-4.3:
“Notwithstanding any other terms and conditions of the Contract Documents, the City shall have no obligation whatsoever to increase the Contract Price or extend the time for delays. 143

GP 34
No payment or compensation of any kind shall be made to the Contractor for damages or increased overhead costs caused by any delays in the progress of a Task, whether such delays are avoidable or unavoidable or caused by any act or omission of the City or its agents. Any accepted delay claim shall be fully compensated for by an extension of time to complete the performance of the Work.

This Section shall not apply to compensable delays caused solely by the City. If a compensable delay is caused solely by the City, the Contractor shall be entitled to a Change Order that: (1) extends the time for completion of the Task by the period of the delay caused by the City; and (2) provides equitable adjustment, as determined by the City, to the Contractor.” 6-4.4 Written Notice and Report.

Greenbook Section 6-4.4, which is not incorporated, shall be completely replaced as follows:
“If the Contractor desires payment for a delay or an extension of time, the Contractor shall submit to the Project Manager a written request and report of cause within three (3) Working Days after the beginning of the delay such a request and report are impossible to submit due to the nature of the delay. In such a case, Contractor shall submit the request and report as soon thereafter as possible.

Such request and report of cause shall specify the nature of the delay and the conditions that set the beginning time of delay. If the delay is due to an inability to obtain materials or equipment, the request and report of cause must include the following items as appropriate under the circumstances: the date Contractor was first notified of the delay; the date the delay began; t he exact description of the material, equipment or other cause of the delay; documentation showing when and from whom the delaying item was ordered; documentation of promise to deliver the delaying item; documentation of actual delivery date of the delaying item; description of how late delivery caused delay, including references to the construction schedule; documentation of measures taken to get prompt delivery; documentation of attempts to get delivery from other sources; description of steps taken in the Work scheduling to minimize effects of late delivery; a description of steps taken to get the Task back on schedule after delivery; and a statement of the actual time lost as a result of late delivery. Failure by the Contractor to file all of these items within the time specified herein will be considered grounds for rejection by the City, regardless of the merit of the issues raised in that notice.”

In no event (including termination for impossibility or impracticability, due to conditions or events beyond the control of the City, for any other reason or for no reason) shall the total amount of money to Contractor exceed the amount which would have been paid to Contractor for the full performance of the services described in the Contract or in the terminated Task.

Furthermore, some of the City’s projects are funded in whole or in part by funds other than the City’s General Fund. If this Project or any Task is funded by such external funds in whole or in part, those external funds are terminated or reduced at any time and for any reason or for no reason at all, and the City determines at its discretion that no other funding is available for continuation of this Project or any Task, the City will not be obligated to continue funding for the services contained in these Contract Documents and may terminate the Proj ect or any Task immediately.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT

INFORMATION/CONSENT AGENDA
AGENDA ITEM NO. K.6

DATE: April 16, 2024

TO: City Council

FROM: Michael Wolfe, Public Works Director, (805) 385-8055, [email protected]

SUBJECT: Agreement No. 32400468 with Raftelis Financial Consulting Professional Services for an Annual Water Rate and Pass Through Analysis and Financial Plan Review.

RECOMMENDATION

That the City Council approve and authorize the Mayor to execute Agreement No. 32400468, subject to approval of the final form of the agreement by the City Attorney, with Raftelis Financial Consulting (Raftelis) for a not to exceed amount of $49,730 through December 31, 2027, for professional services required for an Annual Water Rate and Pass Through Analysis and Financial Plan Review.

(This item did not originate in Committee as it is a continuation of Ordinance 3028 approved by the City Council on May 16, 2023.)

BACKGROUND

During the current fiscal year, the City has held three Professional Services Agreements for consulting services with Raftelis. The three agreements are as followed:
• The first Agreement (8562-19-PW) was issued on May 8, 2019, for Water Rate Study Consulting Services for a not-to-exceed amount of $160,442. A First Amendment was executed, which extended this contract to June 30, 2022. A Second Amendment extended this contract until its expiration date of December 31, 2023. • The second Agreement (9713-22-PW) was issued on August 1, 2022, for $60,000 to complete a comprehensive asset valuation of the waterway assets for Lift Station H, Lift Station 27, Channel Islands Boulevard Force Main and Victoria Gravity Sewer. This agreement expired on July 31, 2023. • The third Agreement (32300020) was issued on December 20, 2022, for $275,000, which is expiring on July 31, 2025. This agreement includes a rate study for the Wastewater and Environmental Resources Divisions.

Since Raftelis has had two existing Agreements and currently has an Agreement for the Wastewater and Environmental Resources Divisions, City Council approval is required for the new Agreement with the Water Division because this agreement exceeds the annual authorization and annual value stated in the City's purchasing policy, which requires City Council approval for any contractal transaction with a single vendor in excess of $200,000.00 per year.

DISCUSSION

The rising cost of imported water, tightening local groundwater supplies, increasing regulations, and expanded options for Oxnard’s water system were factors driving the need for a comprehensive financial review and plan to sustain the water utility into the future. Raftelis specializes in water rate analysis and completed the currently adopted 5-year water rate study, which had an effective date of July 1, 2023.

Ordinance No 3028 allows for a pass-through of costs to Oxnard’s water rate payers pursuant to Government Code 163
section 53756. The pass-through is a rate adjustment based upon future changes to the wholesale charges from water sold to the City of Oxnard by Calleguas Municipal Water District and United Water Conservation District. Changes to wholesale charges can result from inflation, additional cost of service, or pass-through charges the wholesaler is subject to as is the case of Calleguas Municipal Water District and the water it purchases from Metropolitan Water District. To do the pass-through calculation accurately, the assistant of the water rate model prepare, Raftelis, is needed.

The consultant’s product will include an annual summary, actual revenue & expenditures for completed fiscal years, and calculation of customer bill impacts of the proposed wholesale water rate pass-throughs.

Staff proceeded with a Negotiated Single Source (NSS) Agreement since Raftelis developed the current water rate model and has the technical and institutional knowledge necessary to make the appropriate calculations using the water rate model they prepared.

STRATEGIC PRIORITIES

This agenda item supports the Infrastructure and Natural Resources strategy. The purpose of the Infrastructure and Natural Resources strategy is to preserve and improve our roads, utilities, parks, trees, water supply and natural resources through effective planning, prioritization, and an equitable and efficient use of available funding.

FINANCIAL IMPACT

The total amount of Agreement 32400468 with Raftelis Financial Consultants, Inc. shall not exceed $49,730 over the term of 3 years. The estimated spending for FY 2023-24 is $11,210 and will be funded from the Council-approved budget appropriations from the Water Division Fund (6013600-53200).

COMMITTEE OUTCOME

This item did not originate in Committee as it is a continuation of Ordinance 3028 approved by the City Council on May 16, 2023.

INSTRUCTION FOR SUBMITTING INSURANCE CERTIFICATES AND ENDORSEMENT FORMS

Certificates of Insurance

The sample accord form on the following page is provided to facilitate your preparation and submission of certificates of insurance. You may use this or any industry form that shows coverage as broad as that shown on the attached sample.

Please note the certificate holder address must be as shown on the attached sample accord form with the contract number and insurance exhibit identification information completed. Improperly addressed certificates may delay the contract start -up date because the City’s practice is to return unidentifiable insurance certificates to the insured for clarification as to the contract number. Cancellation provisions must be endorsed to the policy. Modifying the certificate does not change coverage or obligate the carrier to provide notes of cancellation.

Endorsement Forms

Original endorsements are required for general liability and automobile liability insurance policies and must be attached to the applicable certificate of insurance. City preference is that you use the endorsement forms which are attached.

Substitute forms will be accepted, however, as long as they include provisions comparable to the attached.
