CITY OF PALM DESERT

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: April 25, 2024
PREPARED BY: Lucero Leyva, Senior Project Manager
REQUEST: AUTHORIZE AND AWARD TKE ENGINEERING, INC., AS AN

ADDITIONAL CONSULTANT TO THE ON-CALL CONSTRUCTION

MANAGEMENT CONTRACT IN AN AGGREGATE AMOUNT NOT TO
EXCEED $11,739,394
RECOMMENDATION:

1. Authorize and award TKE Engineering, Inc., as an additional consultant to the On-Call Construction Management Contract in an aggregate amount not to exceed $11,739,394.

2. Authorize the City Manager to execute said agreements and subsequent task orders.

3. Direct the City Attorney, Director of Finance, and Director of Public Works/Capital Projects to review annual expenditures and performance of the vendors under said Agreement.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:

On February 16, 2023, the City Council approved a multiple vendor contract for On-Call Construction Management services, and other related services as needed, in a cumulative amount not to exceed $11,739,394.

On March 23, 2023, the City Council approved the addition of MAAS Companies, Inc. as the third consultant for the $11.74M On-Call Construction Management Services contract.

To continue to support the planned projects in the 5-year CIP efficiently and effectively, staff has found it necessary to request that the scope of the On-Call Construction Management Contract be expanded to include Engineering Services. In addition to construction, project and program management, these services would include civil engineering, traffic engineering, roadway design, survey, and inspections. Active capital projects like Walk and Roll Phase 2 and 3, El Paseo Street Resurface, Fire Stations Remodels and Construction, City Slurry Seal and several of the Housing Authority Pavement and Path of Travel Assessments and Designs, would stand to benefit from this action immediately.

The planning department did complete a request for proposal for Engineering in March of 2023 in which TKE Engineering, Inc., submitted a proposal and was interviewed by city staff. While their proposal was not selected for the award at that time, they were the second-highest evaluated consultant. Since then, TKE Engineering, Inc. has been awarded a smaller professional services contract for engineering and planning development services and continuously demonstrated its ability to successfully meet the expectations of city staff. City staff recommends the addition of TKE Engineering, Inc. to the On-Call Construction Management services contract to continue to help support staff with the development, assessment, and implementation of current and future CIP projects.

City of Palm Desert
Authorize and Award an Engineering Services Provider, TKE Engineering, Inc.

Page 2 of 2 ends

If approved, TKE Engineering will be added to the vendors approved for On-Call Construction Management and Engineering Services Agreement. Their contract will be managed in a task order format; the city will request a task proposal from the consultant, the consultant will submit the proposal, City staff will review and negotiate the cost and schedule, and then the task order will be issued to the consultant. Tasks and expenses will be tracked and managed to ensure that all the aggregate contract amounts do not exceed the total $11.74 million identified for construction management and engineering services.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

There is no additional fiscal impact to the general fund beyond the allocation from the appropriate/associated CIP account. Additional monies may need to be appropriated to support the full engineering services needed for the full construction of a project. The table below illustrates the remaining balance available for on-call services for all vendors under this Task Order Agreement.

Engineering Services and Land Development (2022-RFP-169) City of Palm Desert
SECTION A | COVER LETTER
March 30, 2023
Richard Trupiano
Buyer
City of Palm Desert
73510 Fred Waring Drive
Palm Desert, CA 92260
Subject: 2022-RFP-169 – Engineering Services and Land Development Dear Mr. Trupiano,
Thank you for the opportunity to present our proposal as a response to the 2022-RFP-169 for Engineering Services and Land Development. Our proposal enclosed herein, outlines TKE Engineering, Inc’s (TKE) qualifications to provide the requested services to the City of Palm Desert (City). TKE is a full service, multi-disciplinary consulting firm highly qualified to perform any and all City services required to successfully complete the City’s development and CIP projects. We are enthusiastic about the opportunity to assist the City and aware of the City’s needs for immediate assistance. As such we have already cleared our proposed staff’s workload to begin work for the City at a moment’s notice. Founded in 2000, TKE is a California Corporation with a local office immediately adjacent to Palm Desert City Hall at 73710 Fred Waring Drive, Suite 102.

Why should the City choose TKE to provide consulting engineering services and land development support? Please consider the following:

1. Coachella Valley Experience – TKE has been working for various municipalities and/or District’s in the Coachella Valley since 2001. Throughout the past 22 years, TKE has developed an extensive understanding of the requirements, agencies and events which are exclusive to the Coachella Valley. Our current experience with CV-Sync has allowed our proposed staff to further expand our knowledge of the traffic patterns and critical traffic issues within the Coachella Valley and Palm Desert in particular. Numerous members of TKE’s staff are also PM10 Certified.

2. Team Leadership – The City will benefit greatly by continuing the vision, leadership, and dedication to community exhibited by TKE’s project team. TKE’s numerous accomplishments and management skills will help maintain continuity in the delivery of the services. In particular, Terry Renner, TKE’s Senior Vice President and Project Manager will be the client’s representative, and primary contact. Mr. Renner is a registered civil engineer and licensed land surveyor, and his experience extends from project planning to design and bidding through construction. His excellent communication and management skills will provide a great benefit to the City. In particular, his experience with “cutting edge” creative engineering techniques focused on cost control, will ensure that projects provide the maximum value for the public’s investment. Some of Mr. Renner’s key strengths are communication, organization and issues resolution. His effective communication skills ensure that all stakeholders are constantly advised of project progress. He implements a proactive organizational program to effectively manage the Team’s schedule, documents action items with required follow-up and conducts continuous budget and schedule reviews to anticipate needs for future action items. Lastly, Mr. Renner’s ‘can do’ approach to all project issues always results in resolution. His perseverance and vast knowledge and experience of issues will resolve challenges while protecting City interests. The City will find that Mr. Renner’s and TKE team approach provides the best working partnership to meet the City’s engineering needs.

Supporting Mr. Renner will be TKE’s key personnel, including City Engineer, Brian Wolfe P.E.; Traffic Engineer, Justin Schlaefli P.E., T.E., P.T.O.E.; City Surveyor, Ron Musser L.S.; Construction and Project Manager, Terry Renner P.E., L.S., Q.S.D.; and Senior Land Development Engineer, Steve Nix P.E., L.S. We have included Earth Systems Pacific (Earth Systems) on our team as a subconsultant to provide Geotechnical Engineering support. All other services will be performed by TKE staff in-house. TKE’s team includes the principals of the firm. As such, they will remain in-place throughout the term of the contract. There will not be any changes in personnel during the contract duration without prior approval by the City.

SECTION A | COVER LETTER

3. Qualifications and Experience – TKE is a firm capable of managing and delivering municipal consulting engineering services. We specialize in City Engineering and Land Development Services including project management, pre project planning, permitting, design and construction administration of public works and development projects. A brief list of on-call municipal clients, together with projects that TKE has successfully completed is presented in our proposal. The City will benefit from our broad range of experience through our intimate understanding of the common pitfalls for each project variation, and development processing challenges, and our past history of successfully overcoming these challenges.

In addition, TKE’s experience includes a comprehensive understanding of the Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction (Green Book), project scheduling programs (including critical path methodology relating to interagency and interdepartmental coordination), and Caltrans Local Assistance project processing. Finally, TKE’s extensive funding administration experience will also greatly benefit the City.

4. Our Commitment – TKE is committed to providing high quality, efficient services to meet all of the City’s needs. As the City Engineer, Brian Wolfe will establish set office hours at the City and will meet with other staff regularly to discuss requirements and scheduling needs. He will also be in contact with project stakeholders as often as required to keep projects proceeding efficiently, on schedule and within allocated budgets. It is this personal touch and contact that define our ‘local service’ approach. We consider ourselves community builders and take ownership of services requested from TKE, ensuring that our personnel will be allocated on an as-needed basis in order to successfully complete all projects.

Our broad array of services and in-house team provide the City a trusted consultant to turn to in any challenge, no matter how simple or complex. We pride ourselves in the management and completion of special, atypical projects and thrive on challenging budgets and deadlines. It is this commitment to service and diverse array of offerings that makes us unique and drives our long-standing relationships with our client base, and it is these qualities that make us ‘the right fit’ for the City.

5. Our Value – TKE’s management team and staff are fundamentally committed to creating value in each task that we perform. As such, we have created a professional culture wherein each member of our staff constantly strives for increased efficiency, ultimately allowing us to provide highly professional services at competitive rates.

This culture of constant value creation and increased efficiencies, ensures that the services contracted to, and provided by TKE, will always mean good stewardship of resources.

Thank you for your consideration. TKE acknowledges and accepts all of the general terms and conditions presented in the RFP without any exception. TKE has read and understands the RFP in its entirety, including, without limitation, the scope and nature of the work, as well as the associated attachments and addenda. TKE would very much appreciate the opportunity to interview with the City and introduce our team in person to City staff. Terry Renner is authorized to negotiate and execute an Agreement with the City on behalf of TKE. If you have any questions, please call Terry Renner at our office at (760) 895-1949, by cell at (909) 240-6285 or email him at [email protected].

The TKE Team is eager and prepared for an
opportunity to support the City of Palm Desert in
accomplishing its goals developed for their CIP,
New Strategic Plan and General Plan and to
establish the framework for making informed
decisions regarding the community’s future
success. Our team specializes in developing
processes and procedures based on professional
expertise and lessons learned, which we implement
on all of our projects to ensure successful delivery
on schedule and within budget.

City of Palm Desert | General Plan
For all projects, either development or capital
improvement, the most important aspect of
management will be to ensure that the City’s
interest is protected to the maximum extent
possible. TKE will ensure that public funds and
impact fees are used for the benefit of the
community.

For development projects, project requirements,
impact mitigation, protecting City interests, project
schedule compliance and budget tracking will be
important. Project requirements will be assessed
and presented to the City’s management
staff. Upon receipt of direction from City
administration, TKE will be responsible to verify
that development is completed in compliance with
those project requirements. TKE’s effective project
management techniques will ensure that
compliance will occur.

For developers, time is money. For the City,
development assists the City’s economic
engine. Therefore, maintaining the project
schedule will be an important task. Further,
maintaining excellent communication will prevent
any project processing misunderstandings leading
to project delays. TKE management techniques
will result in efficient project delivery.

examples showing where TKE has provided On-Call

A P P R O A C H
Whether the services required are city engineering,
traffic, survey, land development, planning,
design, inspection or construction related,
successful project delivery is our goal. Our
definition of successful project delivery is:

Δ Project Completion that Protects City
Interests
Δ Project Completion that Meets All Project
Requirements
Δ Project Completion on Schedule
Δ Project Completion within Budget

I M P L E M E N T A T I O N P L A N
TKE’s implementation plan includes the following
key elements which we routinely provide for each
of our projects:

P R O J E C T M A N A G E M E N T
TKE provides effective city engineering, land
development, and project management services to
a variety of clients. We have successfully delivered
extensive and highly visible development projects,
street improvement, traffic improvement, drainage
improvement, water, wastewater and facility
improvement projects for the Coachella Valley
Association of Governments, County of San
Bernardino and Riverside, Cities of Coachella,
Banning, Calimesa, Moreno Valley, Chino,
Glendora, El Monte, South El Monte, Corona,
Highland, Hesperia, Colton, Upland, Fontana,

SECTION D | PROPOSED METHOD TO ACCOMPLISH THE WORK
Coachella Water Authority, San Bernardino
Municipal Water Department, Rubidoux
Community Services District, East Valley Water
District, Three Valleys Municipal Water District,
Monte Vista Water District, and Maywood Mutual
Water Company. TKE’s approach has consistently
allowed our partner agencies to fulfill their missions
of delivering the best value for the public’s
investment.

TKE’s management approach includes:

M O N T H L Y P R O G R E S S R E P O R T S
TKE documents project progress for all projects
assigned to TKE by a comprehensive project
management summary. The summary includes
project name and related number, description of
progress, budget status, schedule compliance,
completed deliverables, and anticipated upcoming
accomplishments.

C O M M U N I C A T I O N
Communications with City staff is another
important component to effective project
management. In addition to the monthly progress
reports, TKE meets with clients as needed to
ensure the projects are proceeding as
anticipated. We document each discussion or
meeting with notes and electronically mail them to
the project team within three days of the
meeting/conference indicating action items and a
schedule for completion of these items. Finally, TKE
welcomes direct lines of communication between
the City and all Key Staff for any and all project
needs.

R E C O R D K E E P I N G
TKE keeps records in an organized filing system
both in hard copy and electronic forms. This
organized filing system allows TKE to access
records immediately should they be
needed. Additionally, TKE can provide
comprehensive project records to the City upon
completion of each project.

M E E T I N G S
TKE meets with project stakeholders as needed
including the public, permitting agencies, utilities,
etc. We meet with them at the project’s onset and
throughout the course of project development to
ensure all stakeholder project needs are considered
in the project design. All meeting preparation (City
Staff Reports, agendas, exhibits, slide shows, etc.)
will be prepared by TKE for each meeting. Again,
meetings will be documented. TKE has provided
numerous similar presentations to Councils (closed
sessions, council meetings, community meetings,
etc.).

T E A M M E E T I N G S
Team meetings include all parties that have any
interest in the project development. In particular,
the City’s Engineering and Public Works
Departments will be close working partners with
TKE in project development and environmental
compliance for capital projects.

CIP P R O J E C T M A N A G E M E N T
Project management will be an essential element
in all types of project delivery. Effective
communications will lead to effective
management. Management will include weekly
reviews of project budget and schedules and
regular meetings with all project shareholders.

For all projects, the most important aspect of
management will be to ensure that the City’s
interests are protected to the maximum extent
possible and project schedules are met. TKE will
ensure that public funds and impact fees are used
for the benefit of the community. Any deviation
from standards and requirements will be referred
to the City and TKE will implement direction given
by City staff. Maintaining excellent
communications will prevent any project
processing misunderstandings and will avoid
project delays. TKE management techniques
always result in efficient project delivery.

Managing other consultants is another area that
TKE excels. Due to our extensive variety of project
experience, TKE has a vast amount of knowledge
with all public works improvement projects. With
this understanding, TKE is able to manage others
and avoid any costly project changed conditions
and delays.

We will apply this knowledge to process current
projects and continue to work with City staff to
match funding streams with proposed projects.

E N V I R O N M E N T A L C O M P L I A N C E
Environmental permitting for projects within the
CIP may be complex and involve coordination with
multiple jurisdictional agencies, in addition to the
normal CEQA analysis and determination. Our
preliminary review of the CIP indicates that many
projects projected will qualify for a categorical
exemption. Other projects may require some
additional environmental permit requirements
including Clean Water Act (CWA) Section 404
permits from the United States Army Corps of
Engineers, CWA Section 401 permits from the
Regional Water Quality Control Board, Section
1602 Permits from the California Department of

provide excellent management and oversight to
ensure environmental compliance permitting is
implemented.

If the Consultant maintains higher limits than the minimums shown above, the City requires and shall be entitled to coverage for the higher limits maintained by the Consultant. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the City. (I) Notice of Cancellation. Consultant agrees to oblige its insurance agent or broker and insurers to provide City with a thirty (30) day notice of cancellation (except for nonpayment for which a ten (10) day notice is required) or nonrenewal of coverage for each required coverage.
(J) Additional Insured Status. General liability, automobile liability, and if applicable, pollution liability and cyber liability, policies shall provide or be endorsed to provide that the City and its officers, officials, employees, agents, volunteers and representatives shall be additional insureds with regard to liability and defense of suits or claims arising out of the performance of the Agreement, under such policies. This provision shall also apply to any excess/umbrella liability policies.
(K) Prohibition of Undisclosed Coverage Limitations. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been first submitted to City and approved of in writing.
(L) Separation of Insureds. A severability of interests provision must apply for all additional insureds ensuring that Consultant’s insurance shall apply separately to each insured against whom claim is made or suit is brought, except with respect to the insurer’s limits of liability. The policy(ies) shall not contain any cross-liability exclusions. (M) Pass Through Clause. Consultant agrees to ensure that its subconsultants, subcontractors, and any other party involved with the Project who is brought onto or involved in the Project by Consultant, provide the same minimum insurance coverage and endorsements required of Consultant. Consultant agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section. Consultant agrees that upon request, all agreements with subconsultants, subcontractors, and others engaged in the Project will be submitted to City for review.
(N) City’s Right to Revise Specifications. The City and the City’s Risk Manager reserve the right at any time during the term of the Agreement to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the Consultant ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in additional cost to the Consultant, the City and Consultant may renegotiate Consultant’s compensation. If the City reduces the insurance requirements, the change shall go into effect immediately and require no advanced written notice.

Consultant shall give City prompt and timely notice of claims made or suits instituted that arise out of or result from Consultant’s performance under this Agreement, and that involve or may involve coverage under any of the required liability policies.
(Q) Additional Insurance. Consultant shall also procure and maintain, at its own cost and expense, any additional kinds of insurance, which in its own judgment may be necessary for its proper protection and prosecution of the Services.

3.2.12 Water Quality Management and Compliance. Consultant shall keep itself and all subcontractors, staff, and employees fully informed of and in compliance with all local, state and federal laws, rules and regulations that may impact, or be implicated by the performance of the Services including, without limitation, all applicable provisions of the City’s ordinances regulating water quality and storm water; the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (33 U.S.C. § 1251, et seq.); the California Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act (Water Code § 13000 et seq.); and any and all regulations, policies, or permits issued pursuant to any such authority.

Consultant must comply with the lawful requirements of the City, and any other municipality, drainage district, or other local agency with jurisdiction over the location where the Services are to be conducted, regulating water quality and storm water discharges. Failure to comply with laws, regulations, and ordinances listed in this Section is a violation of federal and state law.

Consultant shall submit its final invoice to City within thirty (30) days from the last date of provided Services or termination of this Agreement and failure by the Consultant to submit a timely invoice may constitute a waiver of its right to final payment. Payment shall not constitute acceptance of any Services completed by Consultant. The making of final payment shall not constitute a waiver of any claims by the City for any reason whatsoever.

If the Services are being performed as part of an applicable "public works" or "maintenance" project, as defined by the Prevailing Wage Laws, Consultant agrees to fully comply with such Prevailing Wage Laws. City shall provide Consultant with a copy of the prevailing rates of per diem wages in effect at the commencement of this Agreement. Consultant shall make copies of the prevailing rates of per diem wages for each craft, classification or type of worker needed to execute the Services available to interested parties upon request and shall post copies at the Consultant's principal place of business and at the project site.

Consultant shall defend, indemnify, and hold the City, its officials, officers, employees, agents, volunteers and representatives, free and harmless from any claim or liability arising out of any failure or alleged failure to comply with the Prevailing Wage Laws.

3.4.2 Registration/DIR Compliance. If the Services are being performed on a public works project of over $25,000 when the project is for construction, alteration, demolition, installation, or repair work, or a public works project of over $15,000 when the project is for maintenance work, in addition to the foregoing, then pursuant to Labor Code sections 1725.5 and 1771.1, the Consultant and all subconsultants must be registered with the Department of Industrial Relations (“DIR”). Consultant shall maintain registration for the duration of the Project and require the same of any subconsultants. This Project may also be subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the DIR. It shall be Consultant’s sole responsibility to comply with all applicable registration and labor compliance requirements, including the submission of payroll records directly to the DIR. Any stop orders issued by the DIR against Consultant or any subconsultant that affect Consultant’s performance of Services, including any delay, shall be Consultant’s sole responsibility. Any delay arising out of or resulting from such stop orders shall be considered Consultant caused delay and shall not be compensable by the City. Consultant shall defend, indemnify, and hold the City, its officials, officers, employees, agents, volunteers and representatives free and harmless from any claim or liability arising out of stop orders issued by the DIR against Consultant or any subconsultant.

3.4.3 Labor Certification. By its signature hereunder, Consultant certifies that it is aware of the provisions of Section 3700 of the California Labor Code which require every employer to be insured against liability for Worker's Compensation or to undertake self-insurance in accordance with the provisions of that Code and agrees to comply with such provisions before commencing the performance of the Services.

PREPARED BY: Lucero Leyva, Sr. Project Manager
REQUEST: RATIFY CHANGE ORDER 1 TO CONTRACT C46150 WITH THE VAN

DYKE CORPORATION FOR HILARY STORM REPAIRS IN THE AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $609,760
RECOMMENDATION:

1. Ratify Change Order 1 to Contract C46150 with the Van Dyke Corporation for Hillary Storm Repairs in an amount not to exceed $609,760.

2. Authorize the Director of Finance to set aside a contingency in the amount not to exceed of $30,488.

3. Authorize the City Manager to Review and Approve written requests for the use of contingency per Section 3.30.170 B of the Palm Desert Municipal Code.

4. Authorize City Manager to execute the change order and any documents necessary to effectuate the actions taken herewith
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:

The approved design for the CDR00004 Section 29 Retention Basin Improvements and Expansion Project involves the Section 29 Retention Basin routing water back towards the Mid Valley Channel once it has hit its 100-year capacity. The water then moves down the Mid Valley Channel and into the expanded basins on the City Park site via the implementation of weirs.

On December 14, 2023, City Council awarded the CDR00004 Section 29 Improvement and Expansion Project to The Van Dyke Corporation as the lowest and most responsive bidder. City Staff issued the Notice to Proceed to the contractor on January 29, 2024, which was acknowledged and accepted by the contractor.

The topography completed by The Van Dyke Corporation as part of their pre-construction and mobilization efforts confirmed that the Mid Valley Channel had been heavily impacted by the Hillary Storm Event of August 2023 because it helps to highlight the differences between the proposed improvements and existing conditions (post-Hillary). With the topography, it is clear to see where the Channel lost its shape, depth, and slopes at various pinch points. To ensure that the Mid Valley Channel functions as designed, it needs to be repaired by recompacting and regrading the channel to the specifications of the approved design. After conferring with internal staff, including the City Engineer, staff recommends that the contractor of record for both Project CDR00004 and the repair work in the Mid Valley Channel be the same, The Van Dyke Corporation.

Staff recommends the approval of Change Order 1 to the Van Dyke Corporation in an amount not to exceed of $609,760 to be funded from the Emergency Fund Account Number 1104159- 4219100.

CITY OF PALM DESERT

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: April 25, 2024
PREPARED BY: Shawn Muir, Community Services Manager
REQUEST: AWARD A CONTRACT TO WESTERN STATE BUILDERS FOR PALMA

VILLAGE PARK IMPROVEMENTS IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED
$381,437 (PROJECT NO. MPK00007)
RECOMMENDATION:

1. Waive any minor proposal irregularities and award a contract to Western State Builders, Inc., of Escondido, California, in an amount not to exceed $381,437 to construct improvements at Palma Village Park.

2. Authorize the Director of Finance to set aside $78,000 in contingency for unforeseen circumstances.

3. Appropriate $176,000 to CDBG Account No. 2204649-4400100, Palm Village Park Capital Project.

4. Authorize the City Manager to review and approve change orders for any unforeseen circumstances per Palm Desert Municipal Code Section 3.30.170.

5. Authorize the City Attorney to make any necessary, non-monetary changes to the Agreement.

6. Authorize the City Manager to execute said agreement and contract amendments as needed to complete said work.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:

The City was awarded Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds for improvements to Palma Village Park over Fiscal Years 2019/20, 2020/21, and 2021/22 in the total amount of $312,000. To ensure the funds were allocated to a project that would best serve the neighborhood, a community meeting was held on November 3, 2022. A postcard mailer was sent to each residence in the neighborhood inviting residents to the meeting. The postcard included a QR code link to a survey for those who could not attend the meeting in person. The survey was also administered by staff at the community meeting to allow attendees and residents to weigh in on priorities for the use of the grant funds. Sports activities, lighting, security, park furnishings, and shade were all identified as priorities. Staff leveraged State of California Proposition 68 Per Capita funds to complete many of the community’s requests. That project was completed in March 2024 and was inspected by the State of California. Survey respondents also selected a new picnic pavilion for the east side of the park. The CDBG funds were earmarked for the new pavilion and bar-b-que area on the east side of the park.

A request for proposals was issued on August 10, 2023, for design services to develop plans for the park improvements. On October 1, 2023, an agreement with In-Site Landscape Architecture, Inc. was executed for park design. With input from the Landscape Services division and other Public Works staff, the plans were finalized in February 2024.

This Agreement is made and entered into this 25th day of April, 2024, by and between the City of Palm Desert, a municipal corporation organized under the laws of the State of California with its principal place of business at 73-510 Fred Waring Drive, Palm Desert, California 92260-2578, (“City”) and Western State Builders, Inc., a Corporation, with its principal place of business at 2141 Orange Avenue, Escondido, CA 92029 ("Contractor").

WITNESSETH: That the parties hereto have mutually covenanted and agreed, and by these presents do covenant and agree with each other as follows:

ARTICLE 1. SCOPE OF WORK.

The Contractor shall perform all Work within the time stipulated in the Contract, and shall provide all labor, materials, equipment, tools, utility services, and transportation to complete all of the Work required in strict compliance with the Contract Documents as specified in Article 5, below, for the following Project:

ARTICLE 2. TIME FOR COMPLETION.

Time is of the essence in the performance of the Work. The Work shall be commenced on the date stated in the City’s Notice to Proceed. The Contractor shall complete all Work required by the Contract Documents within 60 Days from the commencement date stated in the Notice to Proceed. By its signature hereunder, Contractor agrees the time for completion set forth above is adequate and reasonable to complete the Work.

Page 297 of 495 ends

Contract No. ___________
2 Revised 01-2024
BBK 72500.00001\32374943.1
of the Project, it would be impracticable or extremely difficult to determine the City’s actual damages.

In the event this is not paid, the Contractor agrees the City may deduct that amount from any money due or that may become due the Contractor under the Contract. This Section does not exclude recovery of other damages specified in the Contract Documents. Liquidated damages may be deducted from progress payments due Contractor, Project retention or may be collected directly from Contractor, or from Contractor's surety. These provisions for liquidated damages shall not prevent the City, in case of Contractor's default, from terminating the Contractor.

Exhibit “C”

PERFORMANCE BOND
KNOW ALL PERSONS BY THESE PRESENTS:

THAT WHEREAS, the City of Palm Desert (hereinafter referred to as “City”) has awarded to Western State Builders, Inc, (hereinafter referred to as the “Contractor”) an agreement for Palma Village Park Improvement Project (hereinafter referred to as the “Project”).

WHEREAS, the work to be performed by the Contractor is more particularly set forth in the Contract Documents for the Project dated April 25, 2024, (hereinafter referred to as “Contract Documents”), the terms and conditions of which are expressly incorporated herein by reference; and
WHEREAS, the Contractor is required by said Contract Documents to perform the terms thereof and to furnish a bond for the faithful performance of said Contract Documents.

NOW, THEREFORE, we, Western State Builders, Inc., the undersigned Contractor and _____________________________________________ as Surety, a corporation organized and duly authorized to transact business under the laws of the State of California, are held and firmly bound unto the City in the sum of Three Hundred Eighty-Two Thousand Dollars, ($382,000.00), said sum being not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the total amount of the Contract, for which amount well and truly to be made, we bind ourselves, our heirs, executors and administrators, successors and assigns, jointly and severally, firmly by these presents.

THE CONDITION OF THIS OBLIGATION IS SUCH, that, if the Contractor, his or its heirs, executors, administrators, successors or assigns, shall in all things stand to and abide by, and well and truly keep and perform the covenants, conditions and agreements in the Contract Documents and any alteration thereof made as therein provided, on its part, to be kept and performed at the time and in the manner therein specified, and in all respects according to their intent and meaning; and shall faithfully fulfill all obligations including the one-year guarantee of all materials and workmanship; and shall indemnify and save harmless the City, its elected or appointed officers, and their respective agents, officials, employees, volunteers and representatives, as stipulated in said Contract Documents, then this obligation shall become null and void; otherwise it shall be and remain in full force and effect.

As a condition precedent to the satisfactory completion of the Contract Documents, unless otherwise provided for in the Contract Documents, the above obligation shall hold good for a period of one (1) year after the acceptance of the work by City, during which time if Contractor shall fail to make full, complete, and satisfactory repair and replacements and totally protect the City from loss or damage resulting from or caused by defective materials or faulty workmanship, Surety shall undertake and faithfully fulfill all such obligations. The obligations of Surety hereunder shall continue so long as any obligation of Contractor remains. Nothing herein shall limit the City’s rights or the Contractor or Surety’s obligations under the Contract, law, or equity, including, but not limited to, California Code of Civil Procedure section 337.15.

Whenever Contractor shall be, and is declared by the City to be, in default under the Contract Documents, the Surety shall remedy the default pursuant to the Contract Documents, or shall promptly, at the City’s option:
(1) Take over and complete the Project in accordance with all terms and conditions in the Contract Documents; or
(2) Obtain a bid or bids for completing the Project in accordance with all terms and conditions in the Contract Documents and upon determination by Surety of the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, arrange for a Contract between such

bidder, the Surety and the City, and make available as work progresses sufficient funds to pay the cost of completion of the Project, less the balance of the contract price, including other costs and damages for which Surety may be liable. The term “balance of the contract price” as used in this paragraph shall mean the total amount payable to Contractor by the City under the Contract and any modification thereto, less any amount previously paid by the City to the Contractor and any other set offs pursuant to the Contract Documents.
(3) Permit the City to complete the Project in any manner consistent with local, California and federal law and make available as work progresses sufficient funds to pay the cost of completion of the Project, less the balance of the contract price, including other costs and damages for which Surety may be liable. The term “balance of the contract price” as used in this paragraph shall mean the total amount payable to Contractor by the City under the Contract and any modification thereto, less any amount previously paid by the City to the Contractor and any other set offs pursuant to the Contract Documents.

Surety expressly agrees that the City may reject any contractor or subcontractor which may be proposed by Surety in fulfillment of its obligations in the event of default by the Contractor.

Surety shall not utilize Contractor in completing the Project nor shall Surety accept a bid from Contractor for completion of the Project if the City, when declaring the Contractor in default, notifies Surety of the City’s objection to Contractor’s further participation in the completion of the Project.

The Surety, for value received, hereby stipulates and agrees that no change, extension of time, alteration or addition to the terms of the Contract Documents or to the Project to be performed thereunder shall in any way affect its obligations on this bond, and it does hereby waive notice of any such change, extension of time, alteration or addition to the terms of the Contract Documents or to the Project, including but not limited to the provisions of sections 2819 and 2845 of the California Civil Code.
