DATE: September 14, 2023 CONSENT CALENDAR
SUBJECT: FINDINGS TO CONDUCT CITY COUNCIL AND BOARD, COMMISSION, AND COMMITTEE MEETINGS VIRTUALLY UNDER ASSEMBLY BILL 361 FROM:
BY:
Scott C. Stiles, City Manager
Brenda Pree, City Clerk
RECOMMENDATION:
By motion, find that:
1. The City Council has reconsidered the circumstances of the state of emergency.
Even though the State and local declared states of emergency have ended, community spread of COVID-19 continues to exist, and measures to reduce the spread, including physical distancing measures, continue to be necessary for the public, health, safety and welfare; and
2. State and local officials continue to recommend social distancing measures, which can impact the ability of the City and the public to meet safely in person; and
3. The City Council, and its subordinate bodies (Boards, Commissions, and Committees), shall be authorized to conduct public meetings in accordance with Government Code section 54953(e)(2) and other applicable provisions of the Brown Act for remote only or hybrid teleconference meetings.
BACKGROUND:
Governor Newsom’s Executive Orders N-29-20 and N-35-20, which relaxed some of the Brown Act’s teleconferencing provisions during the COVID -19 pandemic, expired on September 30, 2021. On September 16, 2021, Governor Newsom signed AB 361, which amends sections of the Brown Act to allow legislative bodies to more easily hold teleconference meetings during a state of emergency.
AB 361 added section 54953(e) to the Brown Act, authorizing legislative bodies (City Council, Boards, and Commissions) to conduct remote meetings provided the legislative body makes specified findings on a regular basis. Section 54953(e)(3) authorizes the City Council and its subordinate bodies to continue to conduct remote and/or hybrid public meetings, provided the procedural requirements of AB 361 are met.
In order to continue meeting by remote teleconferencing, a required condition is that the City Council find that state or local officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social (physical) distancing, and that the legislative body continues to make Item 1A - Page 1
certain findings by majority vote at least every 30 days.
Among other measures to promote physical distancing, the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health (“Cal/OSHA”) regulations at Title 8 Section 3205 recommend physical distancing in the workplace as precautions against the spread of COVID-19 and imposes certain restrictions and requirements due to a “close cont act” which occurs when individuals are within six feet of another in certain circumstances.
And, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention continue to recommend avoiding contact and keeping a safe distance from a person who has a suspected or confirme d case of COVID-19.
Under AB 361, teleconferenced meetings must meet the following requirements:
• All votes taken during a teleconferenced meeting must be by rollcall. • Whenever notice of the time of the meeting is given or the agenda for the meeting is posted, the legislative body must also provide notice of the means by which members of the public can access the meeting and offer public comment. The agenda must identify and include an opportunity for all persons to attend via a call- in option or an internet-based service option.
• In the event of a disruption that prevents the legislative body from broadcasting the meeting to members of the public using the call-in option or internet-based service option, or in the event of a disruption within the City’s control that prevents members of the public from offering public comments using the call -in option or internet-based service option, the legislative body cannot take any further action on items appearing on the meeting agenda u ntil public access to the meeting via the call-in option or internet-based service option is restored. • The legislative body cannot require public comments to be submitted in advance of the meeting and must provide an opportunity for the public to address the legislative body and offer comment in real time.
• An individual desiring to provide public comment through the use of an internet website, or other online platform, not under the control of the local legislative body, that requires registration to log in to a teleconference may be required to register as required by the third-party internet website or online platform to participate. • With regard to public comments:
• A legislative body that provides a timed public comment period for each agenda item cannot close the public comment period for the agenda item, or the opportunity to register, to provide public comment until that timed public comment period has elapsed.
• A legislative body that does not provide a timed public comment period, but takes public comment separately on each agenda item, must allow a reasonable amount of time per agenda item to allow public members the opportunity to provide public comment, including time for members of the public to register/log on, or otherwise be recognized for the purpose of providing public comment. • A legislative body that provides a timed general public comment period that does not correspond to a specific agenda item cannot close the public comment period or the opportunity to register/log on, until the timed general public comment period has elapsed.

Ms. Brenda Pree
Palm Springs City Clerk
3200 E. Tahquitz Canyon Way
Palm Springs, CA 92262
Dear Ms. Pree:
July 23, 2023
Doing your civic duty is something I have always valued and cared for, and felt proud to do, be it as a federal grand jury member, a local red cross volun teer, or as a Commissioner for the City of Palm Springs. Aftertwo years on the Palm Springs International Airport Commission, I have decided to resign my appoin tment effective July 24. 2023.
I do not take this action lightly. However, my time commi tments elsewhere have increased significantly , and I cannot spend the time needed to serve the City Council and the Citizens of Palm Springs as much as a commissioner should .
As I depart, I hope the City Council might pause and reflect on what is going on with the Commission and understand the Municipal Code requires the Airport Commission to make recommendations to the City Council on the largest Enterprise Fund operation the City has.
Over the last several years, many issues have cropped up. Many of the issues I speak of have been documen ted by current and former Airpo rt Commissioners and staff and given to Councilmembers to work with in the past.
The current system is at times inefficient, ineffective and many times does not meet business operational nor public administration standards which is required for any truly successful government enterprise fund to meet the public good. Things need to change, and the City Council is the only authority tha t can do tha t. Perhaps, like other City of Palm Springs Departments in the past, the City Council should commission an independent review of the Palm Springs International Airport (not an FAA long range strategic planning review that is currently going on) but a separate one loo king at things like curren t airport practices, operations and procedures , commission structure and duties, communica tion links bet ween the City Council, the Commission and Staff, resident and special interest group participation in airport activities , etc. An independen t comprehensive report might be very enlightening to the City Council, the new City Manager, and the residents of Palm Springs.
No matter what the City Council finally decides, I want to thank the City Council for the oppo rtunity to serve and I wish the City Council good luck in creating a better future for the Commission, the Airport, and the public .
Respectfully,
Scott G Miller, PhD

Regrettably, I ca1mot proceed with my position on the Parks and Recs Conm1ission . I have j oined a 501(c)3 to advocate for the parks in palm springs , which I believe creates a conflict with a role on the commission .

Amendment No. 2 Upbeat Parade Productions
BACKGROUND:
On September 29, 2022, City Council approved a three-year agreement (No. A9152) with Upbeat Parade Productions in an amount not to exceed $147,000 over a period of three years (2022- 2024) to support two different parades, the Palm Springs Veterans Day Parade and the Palm Springs Festival of Lights Parade. At that time, the agreement included professional services associated wi th parade planning and production, while Parks & Recreation staff were responsible for procurement of the parade equipment including inflatable balloons, helium, floats, and costumes.
On October 24, 2022, the Ci ty authorized Amendment No. 1 to Agreement No. A9152, increasing the amount by $50,000 to better support the 2022 Festival of Lights Parade with 2 additional floats and 6 inflatable balloons.
Veterans Day Parade Overview
The City of Palm Springs is well known for its special events throughout the city year- round, encouraging visitors to come to our beautiful city and residents to enjoy all we have to offer. One of the C ity’s long-standing event traditions is honoring our Veterans with the Palm Springs Veterans Day Parade & Concert. The event is held on Veterans Day, November 11, and includes a musical performance on the main stage prior to the start of the parade, a flyover provided by the Palm Springs Air Museum to kick off the parade, and a parade filled with our Valley’s most honored Veterans and the communities and organizations that support them. A live concert f ollows the par ade, and the event concludes with a spectacular firework show. This year we will be celebrating our 26th Annual Veterans Day Parade in downtown Palm Springs.
The City of Palm Springs has also been recognized as a Regional Site for the observance of Veterans Day for 13 consecutive years by the U.S Department of Veterans Affairs.
Festival of Lights Parade Overview
The City of Palm Springs’ annual Festival of Lights Parade, held on the first Saturday of December, is known as the kick- off to the holiday season. For the past 30 years, it has also been one of the City’s most popular events. Known to both visitors and residents as an adored holiday tradition, the parade is a cherished community event and a unique tourism event for visitors. The parade hosts a variety of marching bands from all over California, Nevada, and Arizona. Special performance groups and special character visitors including Curious George and Snoopy, were featured in the parade as well as Santa and Mrs. Claus.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
Needs Analysis & Expanded Scope of Services
In recent years, City staff have worked to make both parades more exciting and visually appealing for thousands of visitors, residents, and community members, as well as to increase viewership and overall recognition for the City of Palm Springs. Additionally, staff Item 1G - Page 35
City Council Staff Report
September 14, 2023 -- Page 3
Amendment No. 2 Upbeat Parade Productions
has been evaluating best practices in special events management to determine ways to increase operational efficiencies in this programmatic area. At present, the production of the Veterans Day Parade and the Festival of Lights Parade is a collab oration between City staff and a professional parade production company, Upbeat Parade Productions.
However, in order to increase the quality of the production for both parades and better leverage existing internal staffing resources, staff is recommending that the City expand the scope of services with Upbeat Productions. The proposed increase in scope of services with the professional parade organizer will better shift some of the responsibility from staff to the professional parade organizer in the following parade production and procurement areas: (1) inflatable balloons; (2) helium for the balloons; (3) professionally designed floats; and (4) costume characters.
The additional scope of services above will add an additional $ 360,000 to the current agreement with Upbeat Parade Productions for the next two parade years to better support the Veterans Day Parades (2023 and 2024) and the Festival of Lights Parades (2023 and 2024). The breakdown is as follows: $150,000 Festival of Lights and $30,000 Veterans Day Parade. An itemized breakdown is included in the fiscal impact summary of the staff report.
EVENT NAME 2022 2023
Proposed
2024
Proposed
3-Year Total
Veterans Day Parade $17,000 $47,000 $47,000 $111,000
Festival of Lights $82,000 $182,000 $182,000 $446,000
Grand Total Not to Exceed $557,000
Staff has completed a forecasting assessment of the current cost and future costs for the length of the contract and believe the requested funds will provide the full services needed. Only services rendered by the vendors will be billed to the C ity on an annual basis.
The Parks & Recreation Department’s Special Events Team has begun the fundraising process to cover the additional cost requested for the 2023 parade season, i ncluding a category to purchase a professional float and promote a business or non- profit organization. Historically, staff has been able to fund the Veterans Day Parade at 90% of the cost to produce the event , and 75% of the Festival of Lights Parade, including the additional funds requested in the staff report. Staff anticipates the ability to fully fund the requested additions to the contract.

According to the Public Integrity Disclosure Form (Attachment B) submitted on August 15, 2023 , Alclear, LLC dba CLEAR is a Delaware Limited Liability Company registered to do business in California.
BACKGROUND:
On April 7, 2022, the City Council approved the Non-Exclusive Operating and Lease Agreement No. A9092 with CLEAR to lease terminal space for airport screening pods, passenger queuing and office space to provide biometric identity verifications for subscribing departing passengers at the Palm Springs International Airport. The Item 1H - Page 1
City Council Staff Report

Amendment No. 2 to Non-Exclusive Operating and Lease Agreement No. A9092
agreement aimed to enhance the passenger experience by expediting the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) security checkpoint processes for CLEAR members, reducing security screening congestion, and minimizing passenger wait times. CLEAR's service entails the escorting of CLEAR passengers by CLEAR employees to the TSA agent for screening through a designated lane at the security checkpoint.
On November 28, 2022, the City Council approved Amendment No. 1 to Non -Exclusive Operating and Lease Agreement No. A9092 to increase the terminal square footage from 120 square feet to 296 square feet for the addition of three screening pods for TSA Precheck enrollments. During new lease space negotiations between the Airport staff and CLEAR, Amendment No. 1 expired on March 31, 2023. T o ensure the seamless continuation of enhanced services for passengers during the negotiation period, CLEAR was permitted to operate on a holdover basis per the original agreement.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
From April 2022 through June 2023, CLEAR has provided unique member verifications for 174,765 passengers and generated over $131,223.75 in revenue to the Airport.
The proposed Amendment No. 2 to the Non- Exclusive Operating and Lease Agreement aligns with the ongoing efforts to improve the passenger experience at the Airport. By expanding the leasehold space, CLEAR will have the opportunity to accommodate a larger number of passengers, resulting in reduced congestion and improved efficiency at the TSA security checkpoints.
CLEAR’s leasehold space incudes five verification PODs, four enrollment PODs, passenger queueing space, and expanded office space for a total of 868 square feet as shown in Figure 1 on the following page.
Year Unique Member Verifications Total Revenue
2022 74,946 $56,209.50
2023 100,019 $75,014.25

Approval of this action supports City Council Priority 2C, Community Design, to streamline City customer services.
FISCAL IMPACT
:
This action will result in a monthly rent of $7,559.56 bringing annual revenues to $90,714.72 to be credited to Airport account 415.38105. The projected revenue share for the unique member verification is $114,159 for the remainder of calendar year 2023.

SPACE LEASE AT THE PALM SPRINGS INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
FROM: Scott C. Stiles, City Manager
BY: Department of Aviation
SUMMARY:
This item will approve Amendment No.1 to Lease Agreement No. A5666 with the General Services Administration (GSA) for a five -year lease extension for the Transportation Security Administration ( TSA) terminal office space lease at the Pal m Springs International Airport (Airport).
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Approve Amendment No. 1 to Lease Agreement No. A5666 with the General Services Administration ( Attachment A ) for a five -year lease extension for the TSA terminal office lease of 6,653 square feet, commencing October 1, 2023 through September 30, 2028, generating $904,808 in annual rent.
2. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute all necessary documents.
BUSINESS PRINCIPAL DISCLOSURE:
The General Services Administration is an independent agency of the United States government.
BACKGROUND:
On September 18, 2013, the City Council approved Lease Agreement No. A5666 with the General Services Administration f or the TSA to lease office space at the Palm Springs International Airport. The term of the original lease is set to expire on September 30, 2023.
The terminal area space rental is necessary to support the TSA’s primary purpose of performing the Federal Government’s enforcement of air transportation security for Item 1J - Page 1
City Council Staff Report
September 14, 2023 -- Page 2
Amendment No. 1 to Lease Agreement No. A5666
airlines and passengers. Federal Grant Assurances mandate that airports are obligated to provide space to allow for governmental functions to be carried out by the TSA and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
STAFF ANALYSIS:
The TSA will cont inue to lease office space located on the ground level of the Bono Concourse as well as space adjacent to the security checkpoint area. Airport staff negotiated the terminal rental rate with the TSA, and the terminal rental rate increased from $57.50 per square foot per annum to $136.00 per square foot per annum. The newly negotiated rate accounts for projected consumer price index increases over the next five years.
The terms of the amended lease include the 6,653 square feet of office space that is currently being leased for the TSA with the rental rate increasing from $57.50 to $136.00 per square foot per annum for a total of five years. There is a 60-day notice of cancellation, in the event that the airport screening should become de-federalized, and the office space is no longer needed by the TSA, commercial service ceases, the Airport opts to utilize private screening, the government reduces its staffing presence , or the Airport re - occupies the leased space.
The City has the flexibility and maintains the right to relocate the TSA office at the City’s will and expense, as long as there is an operational need to do so. The City will continue to be responsible for the electrical, mechanical, plumbing and replacement of carpeting after five years.
Staff recommends approval of Amendment No. 1 to Lease Agreement No. A5666 with the General Services Administration to extend the TSA office space lease for an additional five years.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The annual terminal revenue to the Airport will total $904,808. All revenue will be applied to Airport Account 415.38105.

SUMMARY:
This action will approve Agreement No. 23B128 with South Coast Industrial Door, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $400,000 for on- call automatic rolling gates and door repair services at the Palm Springs International Airport.
RECOMMENDATION:

BACKGROUND:
On June 16, 2022, the City Council approved a three- year contract with Ollin Dock & Door, Inc. to provide overhead door repair services following a competitive bidding process. Ollin Dock & Door, Inc. was determined as the most cost -effective bidder .
However, further assessment revealed that Ollin Dock & Door, Inc. could not fully comply with the badging requirements to obtain an Airport Security Identification Display Area Item 1K - Page 1
City Council Staff Report
September 14, 2023 -- Page 2
Award Automatic Rolling Gates & Door Repair Services Contract
(SIDA) Badge. Another Invitation for Bids was conducted to search for another on- call door contractor.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
The contract with South Coast Industrial Door, Inc. is an on-call, as-needed type contract.
The bids were used to determine the lowest, responsive, responsible bidder and to set the unit rates for the contract; however, the actual amount of the contract is based on the budgeted amount set by the Department and will therefore not match the bid amounts.
An Invitation for Bids (IFB 23- 32) was initiated by the City’s Procurement & Contracting Department on July 6, 2023, based on the Department of Aviation spec ifications. Bids were solicited directly via the City’s procurement vendor portal, PlanetBids. In addition, the IFB was advertised in The Desert Sun. One bid was received by the July 27, 2023, deadline as follows:
Vendor Bid
South Coast Industrial Door, Inc, Corona, CA $81,192.50
Since only one bid was received, the pricing was analyzed by the Department of Aviation and compared to prices paid in the past and was found to be fair and reasonable for the City. The contract is for three years with two one- year options to renew. The unit pricing is fixed for the first year and subject to CPI increase in the following years. Staff recommends approval of Contract Services Agreement No. 23B128 with South Coast Industrial Door, Inc. for the initial three- year term in the amount not to exceed $400,000 effective October 1, 2023 through September 30, 2026, subject to two one- year optional renewals at the sole discretion of the City.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT

The requested City Council action is not a “Project” as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Pursuant to Section 15378(a), a “Project” means the whole of an action, which has a potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. The requested action is to approve contracts for the above- mentioned services, and is exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15378(b), in that a “Project” does not include: (5) Organizational or administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment.
ALIGNMENT WITH STRATEGIC PLANNING:
Approval of this action supports City Council priority 2A , Community Infrastructure – Improve City Facilities.

In the event of failure to pay any laborer or mechanic, including any apprentice, trainee, or helper, employed or working on the site of the work, all or part of the wages required by the contract, the Federal Aviation Administration may, after written n otice to the Contractor, City, Applicant, or Owner, take such action as may be necessary to cause the suspension of any further payment, advance, or guarantee of funds until such violations have ceased.
3. Payrolls and Basic Records.
(i) Payrolls and basic records relating thereto shall be maintained by the Contractor during the course of the work and preserved for a period of three years thereafter for all laborers and mechanics working at the site of the work. Such records shall contain the name, address, and social security number of each such worker; his or her correct classification; hourly rates of wages paid (including rates of contributions or costs anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits or cash equivalents thereof of the types descr ibed in 1(b)(2)(B) of the Davis -Bacon Act); daily and weekly number of hours worked; deductions made; and actual wages paid. Whenever the Secretary of Labor has found under 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1)(iv) that the wages of any laborer or mechanic include the amount o f any costs re asonably anticipated in providing benefits under a plan or program described in section 1(b)(2)(B) of the Dav is-Bacon Act, the Contractor shall maintain records that show that the commitment to provide such benefits is enforceable, that the plan or program is financially responsible, and that the plan or program has been communicated in writing to the laborers or mechanics affected, and records which show the costs anticipated or the actual costs incurred in providing such benefits. Contractors employing apprentices or trainees under approved programs shall maintain written evidence of the registration o f apprenticeship programs and certification of trainee programs, the registration of the apprentices and trainees, and the ratios and wage rates prescribed in the applicable programs. (ii)(A) The Contractor shall submit weekly for each week in which any contract work is performed a copy of all payrolls to the Federal Aviation Administration if the agency is a party to the contract, but if the ag ency is not such a party, the Contractor will submit the payrolls to the applicant, the City , or Owner, as the case may be, for transmission to the Federal Aviation Item 1K - Page 44
Revised 4.13.23 Page 41 of 70
Administration. The payrolls submitted shall set out accurately and completely all of the information required to be maintained under 29 CFR § 5.5(a)(3)(i), except that full social security numbers and home addresses shall not be included on weekly transmittals. Instead the payrolls shall only need to include an individually identifying number f or each employee (e.g., the last four digits of the employee’s social security number). The required weekly payroll informa tion may be submitted in any form desired. Optional Form WH–347 is available for this purpose from the Wage and Hour Division Web site at http://www.dol.gov/esa/whd/forms/wh347instr.htm or its successor site. The prime contractor is responsible for the submission of copies of payrolls by all subcontractors. Contractors and subcontractors shall maintain the full social security number and current address of each covered worker and shall provide them upon request to the Federal Aviation Administration if the agency is a party to the contract, but if the agency is not such a party, the Contractor will submit them to the applicant, the City, or Owner, as the case may be, for transmission to the Federal Aviation Administration, the Contractor, or the Wage and Hour Division of the Department of Labor for purposes of an investigation or audit of compliance with prevailing wage requirements. It is not a violation of this section for a prime contractor to require a subcontractor to provide addresses and social security numbers to the prime contractor for its own records, without weekly submission to the sponsoring government agency (or the applicant, City, or Owner).
(B) Each payroll submitted shall be accompanied by a "Statement of Compliance," signed by the Contractor or subcontractor or his or her agent who pay s or supervises the payment of the persons employed under the contract and shall certify the following:
(1) That the payroll for the payroll period contains the information required to be provided under 29 CFR § 5.5(a)(3)(ii), the appropriate information is being maintained under 29 CFR § 5.5 (a)(3)(i), and that such information is correct and complete; (2) That each laborer and mechanic (including each helper, apprentice, and trainee) employed on the contract d uring the payroll period has been paid the ful l weekly wages earned, without rebate, either directly or indirectly, and that no deductions have been made either directly or indirectly from the full wages earned, other than permissible deductions as set for th in Regulations, 29 CFR Part 3;
(3) That ea ch laborer or mechanic has been paid not less than the applicable wage rates and fringe benefits or cash equivalents for the classification of work performed, as specified in the applicable wage determination incorporated into the contract. (C) The weekly submission of a properly executed certification set forth on the r everse side of Optional Form WH -347 shall satisfy the requirement for submission of the “Statement of Compliance” required by paragraph (3)(ii)(B) of this section. (D) The falsification of any of the above certifications may subject the Contractor or subcontractor to civil or criminal prosecution under Section 1001 of Title 18 and Section 231 of Title 31 of the United States Code.
(iii) The Contractor or subcontractor shall make the records r equired under paragraph (3)(i) of this section available for inspection, copying, or transcription by authorized representatives of the City, the Federal Aviation Administration, or the Department of Labor and shall permit such representatives to interview employees during working hours on the job. If the Contractor or subcontractor fails to submit the required records or to make them available, the Federal agency Item 1K - Page 45
Revised 4.13.23 Page 42 of 70
may, after written notice to the Contractor, the City, applicant, or Owner, take such action as may be necessary to cause the suspension of any further payment, advance, or guarantee of funds. Furthermore, failure to submit the required records upon request or to make such records available may be grounds for debarment action pursuant to 29 CFR § 5.12.
4. Apprentices and Trainees.
(i) Apprentices. Apprentices will be permitted to work at less than the predetermined rate for the work they performed when they are employed pursuant to and individually registered in a bona fide apprenticeship program registered with the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration, Office of Apprenticeship Training, Employer and Labor Services, or with a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Office, or if a person is employed in his or her first 90 days of probationary employment as an apprentice in such an apprenticeship program, who is not individually registered in the program, but who has been certified by the Office of Apprenticeship Training, Employer and Labor Services or a State Appr enticeship Agency (where appropriate) to be eligible for probationary employment as an apprentice. The allowable ratio of apprentices to journeymen on the job site in any craft classification shall not be greater than the ratio permitted to the contractor as to the entire work force under the registered program. Any worker listed on a payroll at an apprentice wage rate, who is not registered or otherwise employed as stated above, shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed. In addition, any apprentice performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the registered program shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work actually performed. Where a contractor is performing construction on a project in a locality other than that in which its program is registered, the ratios and wage rates (expressed in percentages of the journeyman’s hourly rate) specified in the Contractor’s or subcontractor’s registered program shall be observed. Every apprentice must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the registered program for the apprentice’s level of p rogress, expressed as a percentage of the journeymen hourly rate spec ified in the applicable wage determination.
Apprentices shall be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the provisions of the apprenticeship program. If the apprenticeship program does not speci fy fringe benefits, apprentices must be paid the full amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage determination for the applicable classification. If the Administrator determines that a different practice prevails for the applicable apprentice classificat ion, fring es shall be paid in accordance with that det ermination. In the event the Office of Apprenticeship Training, Employer and Labor Services, or a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Office, withdraws approval of an apprenticeship program, the Contractor will no longer be permitted to utilize apprentices at less than the applicable predetermined rate for the work performed until an acceptable program is approved. (ii) Trainees. Except as provided in 29 CFR § 5.16, trainees will not be permitted to work at less than the predetermined rate for the work performed unless they are employed pursuant to and individually registered in a program which has received prior approval, evidenced by formal certification by the U.S. Department of Labor , Employ ment and Training Administration. The ratio of trainees to journeymen on the job site shall not be greater than permitted under the plan approved by the Employment and Training Administration. Every trainee must be paid at not less than the rate sp ecified in the approved program for the trainee’s level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the journeyman hourly rate specified in the applicable wage determination. Trainees shall be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the provisions of the Item 1K - Page 46
Revised 4.13.23 Page 43 of 70
trainee program. If t he trainee program does not mention fringe benefits , trainees shall be paid the full amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage determination unless the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division determines that there is an apprenticeship program associated with the corresponding journeyman wage rate on the wage determination that provides for less than full fringe benefits for apprentices. Any employee listed on the payroll at a trainee rate that is not registered and participating in a train ing plan approved by the Employment and Training Administration shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed. In addition, any trainee performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the registered program shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work actually performed. In the event the Employment and Training Administration withdraws approval of a training program, the Contractor will no longer be permitted to ut ilize trainees at less than the applicable predetermined rate for the work performed until an acceptable program is approved. (iii) Equal Employment Opportunity. The utilization of appr entices, trainees, and journeymen under this part shall be in conform ity with the equal employment opportunity requirements of Executive Order 11246, as amended, and 29 CFR Part 30.
5. Compliance with Copeland Act Requirements.
The Contractor shall comply with the requirements of 29 CFR Part 3, which are incorporated by reference in this contract.

The Contractor or s ubcontractor shall insert in any subcontracts the clauses contained in 29 CFR §§ 5.5(a)(1) through (10) and such other clauses as the Federal Aviation Administration may by appropriate ins tructions require, and also a clause requiring the subcontractors to include these clauses in any lower tier subcontracts. The prime contractor shall be responsible for the compliance by any subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor with all the contract clauses in 29 CFR § 5.5.
7. Contract Termination: Debarment.
A breach of the contract clauses in paragraph 1 through 10 of this section may be grounds for termination of the contract, and for debarment as a contractor and a subcontractor as provided in 29 CFR § 5.12.
8. Compliance with Davis-Bacon and Related Act Requirements.
All rulings and interpretations of the Davis -Bacon and Related Acts contained in 29 CFR Parts 1, 3, and 5 are herein incorporated by reference in this contract.
9. Disputes Concerning Labor Standards.
Disputes arising out of the labor standards provisions of this contract shall not be subject to the general disputes clause of this contract. Such disputes shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures of the Department of Labor set forth in 29 CFR Parts 5, 6, and 7. Disputes within the meaning of this clause include disputes between the Contractor (or any of its subcontractors) and the contracting agency, the U.S. Department of Labor, or the employees or their representatives.

2. Whenever the Contractor, or any subcontractor at any tier, subcontr acts a portion of the work involving any construction trade, it shall physically include in each subcontract in excess of $10,000 the provisions of these specifications and the Notice which contains the applicable goals for minority and female participation and which is set forth in the solicitations from which this contract resulted.
3. If the Contrac tor is participating (pursuant to 41 CFR part 60 -4.5) in a Hometown Plan approved by the U.S. Department of Labor in the covered area either individually or through an association, its affirmative action obligations on all work in the Plan area (including goals and timetables) shall be in accordance with that Plan f or those trades which have unions participating in the Plan.

6. In order for the nonworking training hours of apprentices and trainees to be counted in meeting the goals, such apprentices and trainees m ust be emp loyed by the Contractor during the training period, and the Contractor must have made a commitment to employ the apprentices and trainees at the completion of their training, subject to the availability of employment opportunities.

Provide immediate written notification to the Director when the uni on or unions with which the Contractor has a collective bargaining agreement has not referred to the Contractor a minority person or woman sent by the Contractor, or when the Contractor has other information that the union referral process has impeded the Contractor ’s efforts to meet its obligations.
e. Develop on-the-job training opportunities and/or participate in training programs for the area which expressly include minorities and women, including upgrading programs Item 1K - Page 58

Direct its recruitment efforts, both oral and written, to minority, female, and community organizations, to schools with minority and female students and to minority and female recruitment and training organizations serving the Contractor’s recruitment area and employment needs.

8. Contractors are encouraged to participate in voluntary associations, which assist in fulfilling one or more of their aff irmative action obligations (7a through 7p). The efforts of a contractor association, joint contractor-union, contractor-community, or other simil ar group of which the Contractor is a member and participant may be asserted as fulfilling any one or m ore of its obligations under 7a through 7p of these speci fications provided that the Contractor actively participates in the group, makes every effort to assure that the group has a positive impact on the employment of minorities and women in the indus try, ensures that the concrete benefits of the program are reflected in the Contract or’s minority and female workforce participation, makes a good faith effort to meet its individual goals and timetables, and can provide access to documentation which demonstra tes th e effectiveness of actions taken on behalf of the Contractor. The obligation to comply, however, is the Contractor’s and failure of such a group to fulfill an obligation shall not be a defense for the Contractor’s noncompliance.
9. A single goal fo r minorities and a separate single goal for women have been established.
The Contractor, however, is required to provide equal employment opportunity and to take affirmative action for all minority groups, both male and female, and all women, both minority and non- minority. Consequently, the Contractor may be in violation of the Executive Order if a particular group is employed in a substantially disparate manner (for example, even though the Contractor has achieved its goals for women generally, the Contractor may be in violation of the Executive Order if a specific minority group of women is underutilized).
10. The Contractor shall not use the goals and timetables or affirmative action standards to discriminate against any person because of race, col or, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin.
11. The Contractor shall not enter into any subcontract with any person or firm debarred from Government contracts pursuant to Executive Order 11246.
12.

penalties shall be in violation of these specifications and Executive Order 11246, as amended.
13. The Contractor, in fulfilling its obligations under these specifications, shall implement specific affirmative action steps, at least as extensive as those standards prescribed in paragraph 7 of these specifications, so as to achieve maximum results from its effo rts to ensure equal employment opportunity. If the Contractor fails to comply wi th the requirements of the Executive Order, the implementing regulations, or these specifications, the Director shall proceed in accordance with 41 CFR part 60-4.8.
14. The Contractor shall designate a responsible official to monitor all employment related activity to ensure that the company EEO policy is being carried out, to submit reports relating to the provisions hereof as may be required by the Government, and to keep records.

Records shall be maintained in an easily understandable and retrievable form; however, to the degree that existing records satisfy this requirement, contractors shall not be required to maintain separate records.
15. Nothing herein provided shall be construed as a limitation upon the application of other laws which establish different standard s of c ompliance or upon the application of requirements for the hiring of local or other area residents (e.g. those under the Public Works Employment Act of 1977 and the Community Development Block Grant Program).

Authorization to Purchase Vehicles
BACKGROUND:
On June 5, 1996, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 18834 ( Attachment B ), establishing a new Equipment Replacement Policy. This policy outlined the requirements to replace vehicles depending on the type of vehicle, age, and mileage. A copy of the resolution is included in the attachments. However, in past years during the econom ic recession, the City Council suspended regular vehicle replacements allowing replacements only on an emergency basis. This created a backlog of vehicles that have higher mileage and worn condition and that require replacement. In recent years, the City Council has authorized the purchase of new vehicles to replace existing vehicles, and to add vehicles for new positions that require a vehicle, helping to reduce the backlog of replacements/purchases.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
As the age of the City’s existing fleet of vehicles increases, the annual cost to maintain these vehicles also increases. Staff monitors the ongoing operational and maintenance cost of its older vehicles and has identified an inventory of vehicles that should be replaced with new vehicles , given the accumulated cost of repairs in comparison to the current value of the vehicle. In certain additional cases, new vehicles are required to support additional staff.
The City’s Procurement and Contracting and Maintenance and Facilities Departments obtained a quote for 6 Ford F -150 trucks through a National Auto Fleet Group’s cooperative purchasing contract 091521-NAF and solicited quotes for the purchase of 3 Ford Mustang Mach E electric vehicles through local dealerships and received the followings quotes:
