BJECT: ORDINANCE AMENDING CITY MUNICIPAL CODE TO ESTABLISH
PERMANENT LIMITATIONS ON THIRD-PARTY FOOD DELIVERY FEES F
ROM: Scott C. Stiles, City Manager
BY:
Jeffrey S. Ballinger, City Attorney
SUMMARY:
The City Council will consider adopting an ordinance that creates and adds Chapter 5.89 to Title 5 of the Palm Springs Municipal Code, permanently extending limitations on the amount that a third-party food delivery service may impose as a fee. This draft ordinance is based on Urgency O rdinance No. 2033, which was passed and enacted by the City Council on October 8, 2020.
The proposed ordinance (Attachment 1) will continue to make it unlawful for a third-party food delivery service to charge a retail food service establishment a delivery fee that is more than 15 percent of the cost of the purchase price of an online order. The ordinance will also make it unlawful for a third -party food delivery service to charge a retail food service establishment more than 5 percent of the cost of the purchase price of an online food order for the total of all other fees charged. Lastly , the ordinance will continue to require a third-party food delivery service to disclose to the customer each fee that it charged a retail food service establishment and mandates that the dr ivers receive the entire gratuity paid by the customer.
A violation of th e proposed ordinance can be enforced through a private right of action after a third- party food delivery service has been given a period of 15 days to cure the violation. Enforcement of this ordinance, as with the previous temporary ordinance, is intended to be solely through a private cause of action. The City is not intended to be the primary enforcement party for this ordinance.
The City Council conducted a first reading (introduction) of this ordinance at its April 27, 2023 Council meeting. The ordinance, as introduced at that meeting, is back before the City Council for possible second reading (adoption). If adopted, the ordinance would take effect 30 days following the adoption.

Third-Party Food Delivery Fee Limitation Ordinance
BACKGROUND:
On March 14, 2020, the City Manager acting as Director of Emergency Services issued a Proclamation of Local Emergency in response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic that was ratified by the City Council on March 19, 2020. Under the initial stay at home orders issued by the State in March of 2020, restaurants were prohibited from providing in- person dining, and were limited to drive through, pick-up or delivery. Although restaurants were subsequently authorized to provide in- person, indoor dining on May 12, 2020, that option was again removed by the State on July 1. After that date, restaurants within Palm Springs were only able to provide in-person dining outdoors. As a result of the limitations placed on restaurants being able to provide in-person dining, there had been a significant increase in the use of third-party food delivery services, and reports of high delivery fees, which had the effect of discouraging the use of third-party delivery services.
In response to this increase in demand of third- party food delivery services, on October 8, 2020, the City Council enacted Urgency Ordinance No. 2033, which temporarily placed a limit on the charges imposed by third- party delivery services on retail food establishments in an effort to promote the use of these delivery services and protect both City residents and local businesses from excessively high fees. At the time Urgency Ordinance No. 2033 was enacted, it was set to automatically sunset 90 days following the end of the locally declared emergency, unless extended by the City Council or Emergency Services Director.
During its regular meeting on February 21, 2023, the City Council declared an end to the locally declared emergency in res ponse to the COVID-19 pandemic, effective February 28, 2023. Consequently , Urgency Ordinance No. 2033 was set to automatically sunset and expire on May 28, 2023.
At its February 21, 2023 City Council meeting, the City Council considered several items regarding the then-pending termination of the State of Emergency, including whether or not to extend the temporary regulation of third-party food delivery fees. At that time, the City Council directed staff to bring back an ordinance permanently regulating these food delivery fees.
Permanently extending and codifying the limits on the charges imposed by third- party delivery services on retail food establishments in the City Municipal Code would continue to be beneficial to City residents, visitors, food delivery workers, and local businesses by protecting against the economic impacts associated with the imposition of excessive fees, while at the same time promoting the use of these third-party delivery services.
STAFF ANALYSIS
:
Restaurants are vital to the character and community fabric of Palm Springs. They reflect and nurture the cultural diversity of the City, while offering access to food, an essential foundation of human health and basis for social connection. Restaurants are also important engines of the local economy, providing jobs and serving as commercial anchors in neighborhoods across the City.

Third-Party Food Delivery Fee Limitation Ordinance
The central place of restaurants in the City’s commercial districts is evident from City real estate statistics. Restaurants occupy a substantial percentage of ground floor space along the City’s commercial corridors.
In recent years, many restaurants within the City have struggled economically.
Restaurants have historically operated on thin margins. Increases in costs such as labor and raw goods have heightened this concern. The economic struggles of brick -and- mortar restaurants in the City over the past five years coincides with the rapid rise of third- party food delivery services, businesses that process food delivery and pickup orders through mobile apps and websites. A ccording to one consumer market outlook publication, revenue in the U.S. “platform -to-consumer delivery” market was $8.7 billion in 2019, a nearly 10% increase over the same segment’s valuation in 2018. Market research data from the first quarter of 2020 shows approximately 15.9% of all U.S. residents utilized third-party food delivery services at least once in the past year, many on a regular basis, and industry experts expect that percentage to continue to increase.
As of November 2019, just four third-party food delivery services controlled approximately 98% of the entire market.
The increasing market dominance of a small number of third-party food delivery services companies has resulted in increasingly difficult economic conditions for restaurants within the City, which must contract with these companies if they wish to access the growing share of customers who rely on delivery platforms to obtain meals.
The market dominance of a few third-party food delivery services companies gives these companies disproportionate leverage in contract negotiations with restaurants. These companies use this leverage to extract high fees from restaurants – typically totaling 30% of an order total – and thereby diminish restaurants’ already-narrow profit margins. Food delivery services companies also often impose contract terms that prohibit restaurants from charging a higher price for delivery orders than dine- in orders, eliminating a means by which restaurants could recoup the fees charged by delivery services.
Sample contracts used by leading third- party food delivery services companies reflect that these companies commonly charge restaurants a 10% per -order fee for “delivery services,” the most logistically demanding and resource-intensive service they provide to restaurants. These companies often impose additional fees totaling as much as 20% of the order cost for what are described as “marketing” or “logistics” services.
While money spent by consumers at local restaurants circulates within communities and bolsters the vitality of commercial areas , third -party food delivery services companies have amassed concentrated wealth without providing similar community benefits. And increasingly, these companies are using their market leverage to extract unfairly high payments from restaurants, hastening the closure of City restaurants and the resulting decline of City commercial areas.
The COVID-19 emergency worsened the economic picture for restaurants within the City.
Due to the bans on dine- in restaurant service caused by a concern with the spread of Item 1Q - Page 3

Third-Party Food Delivery Fee Limitation Ordinance
COVID-19, third-party food delivery services have enjoyed unprecedented revenue, while many restaurants have become dependent on delivery and takeout orders, and increasingly vulnerable to unfair contract terms demanded by delivery services companies.
Capping the fees third-party food delivery services companies can charge restaurants is an important step to ensure that restaurants can thrive in Palm Springs and continue to nurture vibrant, distinctive commercial districts. The fact that leading third- party food delivery services companies currently charge a 10% per-order fee for the most resource- intensive aspect of their business – delivery services – and that these companies report high profit margins from all aspects of their business operations, indicates that a 15% fee cap on per-order fees charged to restaurants is a reasonable step to protect restaurants from financial collapse without unduly constraining third- party food delivery services’ businesses.
This proposed ordinance is based on the Urgency Ordinance No. 2033, originally adopted in October 2020. Specifically, this ordinance will impose the following regulations on third- party food delivery charges:
• Makes it unlawful for a third- party food delivery service to charge a retail food establishment a delivery fee that is more than fifteen (15) percent of the cost of the purchase price of an online order.
• Makes it unlawful for a third- party food delivery service to charge a retail food establishment any amount designated as a “delivery fee” for an online order that does not involve the delivery of food or beverages.
• Makes it unlawful for a third- party delivery service to charge a retail food establishment more than five (5) percent of the cost of the purchase price of an online food order for the total of all other fees charged. • Makes it unlawful for a third-party food delivery service to charge a retail food establishment any fee, commission, or cost, other than as permitted in the three bullet points, above.
• Makes it unlawful for a third- party food delivery service to charge a customer a purchase price that is higher than the price set by the retail food establishment on its menu.
• Requires that the food delivery drivers (not their delivery company) receive the entire gratuity paid by the customer.
• Requires a third-party delivery service to disclose to the customer each fee that it charged a retail food service establishment , as well as any tip that will be paid to the person delivering the food.
As with Urgency O rdinance No. 2033 , a violation of the proposed ordinance may be enforced through a private right of action after a third- party delivery service is provided with a period of 15 days to cure the violation. In order to enable such private enforcement, the ordinance provides that a prevailing plaintiff is entitled to be awarded their attorneys’ fees and costs.

Third-Party Food Delivery Fee Limitation Ordinance
DoorDash Proposal (San Francisco Approach)
The City’s existing COVID- based ordinance, as well as the proposed permanent ordinance, both cap the amount that a food delivery company can charge to restaurants at 15% of the cost of the food purchase. In April of 2023, representatives of DoorDash met with the City, and explained a business model that has been introduced to the food delivery sector since the original COVID-based ordinance went into effect in 2020.
Namely, in 2021, DoorDash introduced a new plan whereby participating restaurants can choose from a smorgasbord of service options provided by DoorDash. Restaurants can choose a basic food delivery service plan for a commission equal to 15% of the purchase price. Or, restaurants can choose to sign up for enhanced services provided by DoorDash, designed to boost the restaurants’ sales. In exchange for these enhanced services, restaurants are charged higher commission rates of 25% or 30%. Apparently, another major food delivery company, Grubhub also provides a multiple commission rate structure to its participating restaurants. The enhanced services offered by companies such as DoorDash include marketing, order processing, customer support and technology and product development. According to DoorDash, the vast majority of restaurants who have opted into a plan have chosen a plan that includes these enhanced services, and therefore exceed the 15% cap. As such, representatives of DoorDash have requeste d that the City consider an exemption to this one aspect of the ordinance, for those restaurants that have chosen to sign up for the enhanced services.
Accompanying this report, as Attachment 2, is language that would accomplish what has been suggested by DoorDash, should the City Council wish to consider such a modification.
Notably, other protections of the proposed ordinance would remain intact. For instance, the ordinance would still contain the following regulations:
• Makes it unlawful for a third- party food delivery service to charge a customer a purchase price that is higher than the price set by the retail food establishment on its menu.
• Requires that the food delivery drivers (not their delivery company) receive the entire gratuity paid by the customer.
• Requires a third-party delivery service to disclose to the customer each fee that it charged a retail food service establishment, as well as any tip that will be paid to the person delivering the food.
Item 1Q - Page 5
City Council Staff Report
September 26, 2023 – Page 6
Third-Party Food Delivery Fee Limitation Ordinance
The City of San Francisco, which enacted a permanent delivery cap in 2021, has amended its ordinance along the lines recently suggested by DoorDash, following the resolution of a lawsuit that DoorDash and Grubhu b filed against that City. 1 Attached, as Attachment 3, is the language adopted by the City of San Francisco in 2022, providing for an exemption for restaurants that sign up for enhanced services.
Therefore, should the City Council wish to incorporate this sort of exemption, City staff and the City Attorney would recommend including language similar to that in the attached ordinances.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:
The proposed ordinance is not anticipated to have any environmental impact. Therefore, no further environmental review is required under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
ALIGNMENT WITH STRATEGIC PLANNING:
This agenda item aligns with the City’s Strategic Plan’s principle of focusing on issues that most impact quality of life as well as social equity, but protecting the economic well - being of customers, restaurants and food deliver workers.
FISCAL IMPACT
:
Enforcement of the ordinance, as proposed, will not have any fiscal impact on the City since it is drafted to be enforced through private causes of action and not by City code enforcement. Should the City Council include a provision that provides for enforcement by the City, there would be additional costs of investigation and enforcement, the amount of which is unknown at this time.
By protecting local restaurants from unreasonably high service delivery fees, the proposed ordinance is expected to protect against restaurant closures, which would otherwise negatively affect the City’s revenues. Therefore, it is anticipated that the proposed ordinance would have a positive fiscal impact on the City.
1 DoorDash and Grubhub v. City and County of San Francisco, Case No. 3:21- CV-05502-EMC. This case was dismissed in September of 2022, following a settlement mutually agreed to by those parties. That settlement followed a motion to dismiss, filed by San Francisco, which was partially granted and partially denied by the trial court. A similar lawsuit has been filed against the City of New York, following that City’s adoption of a permanent ban. According to the court’s docket, that New York case is still pending. On September 19, 2023, the trial court rejected the City’s motion to dismiss the lawsuit. This means that the case against New York will proceed to trial, unless a settlement is reached.

SUMMARY:
This action will approve Amendment No. 2 to Agreement No. A8993 with Imprenta Communications Group, Inc., in the amount of $20,000 for a revised contract amount not to exceed $95,000, and extend the term through December 31, 2023, for on-call Spanish language digital marketing services.

2. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute all necessary documents.
BUSINESS PRINCIPAL DISCLOSURE:
According to the Public Integrity Disclosure form ( Attachment B ), Imprenta Communications Group, Inc. (Imprenta), is a corporation registered in the State of California.
BACKGROUND:
The City requires the services of a n on- call Spanish language digital marketing professional to assist the City’s communications team and engage the community by assisting with the development of communications and public affairs planning, messaging, and strategy to highlight important City policies , initiatives and City events; Item 1R - Page 1

Amend On-Call Spanish Language Digital Marketing Services
the City’s social media platforms; and support City programs and initiatives by producing marketing plans, strategies and video and graphic design content.
A Request for Proposals (RFP 04- 22) was initiated by the City’s Procurement and Contracting Department on September 13, 2021, based on the Department of Communications specifications. Proposals were solicited directly via the City’s procurement vendor portal, PlanetBids. In addition, the RFP was advertised in The Desert Sun. Three proposals were received by the October 7 2021 deadline. A review panel found Imprenta to be the most responsive, responsible proposer.
Therefore, the City e ntered into a Contract Services Agreement with Imprenta on November 10, 2021, in an amount not to exceed $75,000 through November 9, 2022, to meet the Department of Communication’s immediate needs.
On December 1, 2022, the City entered into Amendment No. 1 with Imprenta to exercise the optional renewal term, extending the term an additional twelve (12) months through November 9, 2023 but not increasing the funding.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
Staff is requesting approval of Amendment No. 2 in the amount of $20,000 for a revised contract amount not to exceed $95,000, and extending the term 52 days through December 31, 2023, for Spanish language digital marketing services.
This Contract Services Agreement operates as an on-call service, for requested specific services. The department estimates the additional necessary on- call services to be $20,000. Therefore, increasing the contract to a not to exceed amount of $95,000 allows for current and future Spanish language digital marketing service needs to be met.
Extending the contract term through December 31, 2023, will provide sufficient time to reprocure these services and secure competitive proposals.
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.

Item 1S - Page 1
City Council Staff Report
September 26, 2023 -- Page 2
Award EV Charging Stations and O&M Services Contract
BACKGROUND:
The Airport has a total of approximately 1,933 parking spaces, including holiday economy.
Of the total Airport parking spaces, there are three existing Level II charging stations with two ports each within the public parking lots B and C. The existing charging stations are available free to users who park in the Airport public parking.
Executive Order N -79-20 issued by Governor Newsom on September 23, 2020, mandates that 100 percent of new car sales in California are zero- emission vehicles (ZEVs) by 2035. In an effort to support this initiative, staff applied for the Southern California Edison (SCE) Charge Ready Program to provide Level II electric vehicle charging infrastructure at no cost to the Airport; however, the Airport must procure, install, and maintain the Level II chargers. Staff intends to solicit for a contractor separately to install the infrastructure.
The expansion would be an asset to passengers, with the costs of the infrastructure being a one-time purchase. The operation and maintenance would be an ongoing operational expense.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
An Invitation for Bids (IFB 23-41) was initiated by the City’s Procurement and Contracting Department on August 10, 2023, based on the Department of Aviation specifications. Bids were solicited directly via the City’s procurement vendor portal, PlanetBids. In addition, the IFB was advertised in The Desert Sun. Eighteen bids were received by the August 31, 2023, deadline. Twelve bids were deemed non-responsive due to not meeting the scope requirements. Below are the six responsive bids:
Vendor Bid
LilyPad EV LLC, Martinez, CA $499,102.92
Fluoresco Services, LLC, Pomona, CA $583,799.23
National Car Charging, Denver, CO $598,638.00
Casco Contractors, Irvine, CA $654,583.33
Smart Energy Systems Inc dba Smart Energy Water, Irvine, CA $805,160.00 AMTEK Construction, Orange, CA $1,153,177.00
The contract is for five years with one five-year option to renew. The unit pricing is fixed for the initial five -year term and subject to CPI increase in the following years. Staff recommends approval of Contract Services Agreement No. 23B166 with LilyPad EV LLC for the initial five-year term in the amount not to exceed $499,102.92, which includes five years of operation and maintenance services at an annual amount of $40,679, effective September 26, 2023 through September 25, 20 28, subject to one five- year optional renewal at the sole discretion of the City.
Item 1S - Page 2

September 26, 2023 -- Page 3
Award EV Charging Stations and O&M Services Contract
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:
The project is exempt under Class 11 Categorical Exemption (14 CCR §15311) Accessory Structures. The project calls for placement of minor accessory structures (EV charging stations) to an existing parking area which will not result in a significant environmental impact.
ALIGNMENT WITH STRATEGIC PLANNING:
Approval of this action supports City Council priority 2 - Community Infrastructure - 2A - Improve City Facilities.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Staff originally budgeted for $300,000 in Fiscal Year 2023- 24; however, the bids exceeded the budget and staff is requesting to appropriate an additional $199,102.92 from the Airport Special Capital Fund Balance Account 4167065.80000. SCE will provide an estimated rebate, in the amount of $232,000.

General Specifications
Electrical Input
The CP6000 AC Commercial Station supports flexible electrical input/output settings up to 80A to fit your fueling needs, whether for a workplace, multi-family dwelling, or other application.
Power Select allows stations to be installed and configured for current lower than the maximum 80A. Power Select current options include 16A, 24A, 32A, 40A, 48A, 50A, 56A, 64A, and 72A.
Power Share allows a dual-port station to share power from a single circuit across two ports, adjusting power depending on whether one or both are charging. Standard wiring uses an independent circuit for each port. Power Share can be used in combination with Power Select.

What Does Assure Require?
Because installation quality affects the long-term reliability and availability of EV charging stations, ChargePoint requires that all stations covered by Assure are validated to ensure they meet installation specifications. Validation is performed on-site and includes inspection of power availability, panel, breaker and wiring; confirmation of cellular and local network coverage (through WiFi) and verification that all ChargePoint installation requirements are met. Choose one of the following ways to validate stations and activate Assure:
1. Authorized ChargePoint operations & maintenance (O&M) partners who perform site preparation and station installation will automatically validate the stations and enable Assure.
2. Authorized ChargePoint reseller partners certified to perform self-validation may validate station installations and enable Assure.
3. When independent or in-house installers are used, validation may be purchased from either of the partners above. After the partner successfully validates site preparation and station installation, Assure is enabled.

For avoidance of doubt Bill B ack Costs can include costs for investigation, equipment rental, engineering, travel and other reasonable expenses that ChargePoint is required to spend to address a claim under Assure.

Laborers or mechanics performing work in more than one classification may be compensated at the rate specified for each classification for the time actually worked therein: Provided, that the employer’s payroll records accurately set forth the time spent in each classification in which work is performed. The wage determ ination (including any additional classification and wage rates conformed under (1)(ii) of this section) and the Davis-Bacon poster (WH -1321) shall be posted at all times by the Contractor and its subcontractors at the site of the work in a prominent and accessible place where it can easily be seen by the workers.
(ii)(A) The contracting officer shall require that any class of laborers or mechanics, including helpers, which is not listed in the wage determinati on and which is to be employed under the contract shall be classified in conformance with the wage determination. The contracting officer shall approve an additional classification and wage rate and fringe benefits therefore only when the following criteria have been met:
(1) The work to be performed by the classification requested is not performed by a classification in the wage determination;
(2) The classification is utilized in the area by the construction industry; and (3) The proposed wage rat e, incl uding any bona fide fringe benefits, bears a reasonable relationship to the wage rates contained in the wage determination. (B) If the Contractor and the laborers and mechanics to be employed in the classification (if known), or their representatives, and the contracting officer agree on the classification and wage rate (including the amount designated for fringe benefits where appropriate), a report of the action taken shall be sent by the contracting officer to the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division, U.S. Department of Labor, Washington, DC 20210. The Administrator, or an authorized representative, will approve, modify, or disapprove every additional classification action within 30 days of receipt and so advise the contracting officer or will notify the contracting officer within the 30-day period that additional time is necessary.

Revised 4.13.23 Page 80 of 110
shall either pay the benefit as stated in the wage determination or shall pay another bona fide fringe benefit or an hourly cash equivalent thereof.
(iv) If the Contractor does not make payments to a trustee or other third person, the Contractor may consider as part of the wages of any laborer or mec hanic the amount of any costs reasonably anticipated in providing bona fide fringe benefits under a plan or program, Provided, that the Secretary of Labor has found, upon the written request of the Cont ractor, that the applicable standards of the Davis -Bacon A ct have been met. The Secretary of Labor may require the Contractor to set aside in a separate account assets for the meeting of obligations under the plan or program.
2. Withholding. The Federal Aviation Administration or the CIty shall upon its own action or upon written request of an authorized representative of the Department of Labor withhold or cause to be withheld from the Contractor under this contract or any other Federal contract with t he same prime contractor, or any other federally -assisted contract subject to Davis -Bacon prevailing wage requirements, which is held by the same prime contractor, so much of the accrued payments or advances as may be considered necessary to pay laborers and mechani cs, including apprentices, trainees, and hel pers, employed by the Contractor or any subcontractor the full amount of wages required by the contract. 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 notice 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 described 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 of any costs reasonably 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 agency 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 1S - Page 83
Revised 4.13.23 Page 81 of 110
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 for 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 reverse 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 1S - Page 84
Revised 4.13.23 Page 82 of 110
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.

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 1S - Page 97
Revised 4.13.23 Page 95 of 110
and apprenticeship and trainee progr ams relevant to the Contractor’s employment needs, especially those programs funded or approved by the Department of Labor.
The Contractor shall provide notice of these programs to the sources compiled under 7b above.
f. Disseminate the Contractor’s EEO policy by providing notice of the policy to unions and training programs and requesting their cooperation in assisting the Contractor in meeting its EEO obligations; by including it in any policy manual and collective bargaining agreement; by publicizing it in the company newspaper, annual report, etc.; by specific review of the policy with all management personnel and with all minority and female employees at least once a year; and by posting the company EEO policy on bulletin boards accessible to all emp loyees at each location where construction work is performed.

j. E ncourage present minority and female employees to recruit other minority persons and women and, where reasonable, provide after school, summer, and vacation employment to m inority and female youth both on the site and in other areas of a contractor’s work force.
k. Validate all tests and other selection requirements where there is an obligation to do so under 41 CFR part 60-3.
l. Conduct, at least annually, an inventory an d evaluation at least of all minority and female personnel, f or promotional opportunities and encourage these employees to seek or to prepare for, through appropriate training, etc., such opportunities. m.

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 similar 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. The Contractor shall carr y o ut such sanctions and penalties for violation of these specifications and of the Equal Opportunity Clause, including suspension, termination, and cancellation of existing subcontracts as may be imposed or ordered pursuant to Executive Order 11246, as am ended, and its implementing regulations, by the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs. Any contractor who fails to carry out such sanctions and Item 1S - Page 99
Revised 4.13.23 Page 97 of 110
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 at least include for each employee, the name, address, telephone numbers, construction trade, union affiliation if any, employee identification number when assigned, social security number, race, sex, status (e.g., mechanic, apprent ice, trainee, helper, or laborer), dates of changes in status, hours worked per week in the indicated trade, rate of pay, and locations at which the work was performed. 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).

BUSINESS PRINCIPAL DISCLOSURE:
Acc
ording to the Public Integrity Disclosure form ( Attachment B) submitted on August 29, 2023, McCloskey Mechanical Contractors, Inc. is a New Jersey Corporation registered to do business in California.
BACKGROUND:
The Ai
rport’s main terminal building has fourteen large capacity air handling units and thirty-nine smaller fan coil units for Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning (HVAC), and all are several decades old. Many of the units, if not all, require some level of repair, Item 1T - Page 1

testing, replacement, and maintenance in order to continue reliably and efficiently supplying cooled and heated forced air throughout the complex. The units require routine maintenance and occasional repair services to ensure consistent functionality. Given the fluctuating climate conditions and extreme heat temperatures in Palm Springs, the Airport tends to fluctuate widely on load demands, and with flights arriving and departing in banks for the hub and spoke airline network it is important that the ventilation be in optimum operating condition to meet the demand loads.
Providing these essential maintenance and repair services will help to prevent potential future issues, therefore preserving the performance and efficiency of the Airport’s HVAC units. With a significant influence on the comfort and well -being of both Airport passengers, tenants, and staff, it is necessary that the HVAC systems remain maintained to protect the lifespan of the units.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
The contract with McCloskey Mechanical Contractors, 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 23-37) was initiated by the City’s Procurement and Contracting Department on August 3, 2023, based on the Department of Aviation specifications. Bids were solicited directly via the City’s procurement vendor portal, PlanetBids. In addition, the IFB was advertised in The Desert Sun. Five bids were received by the August 29 , 2023, deadline as follows:

Pacific West Industries Inc., Anaheim, CA $62,630.00
Mesa Energy Systems, Irvine, CA $69,887.50
F.M. Thomas Air Conditioning, Brea, CA $82,750.00
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 s in the following years. Staff r ecommends approval of a Contract Services Agreement No. 23B 205 with McCloskey Mechanical Contractors, Inc. for the initial three- year term in the amount not to exceed $9 00,000 effective October 1, 2023 through September 30, 2026, subject to two one-year optional renewals at the sole discretion of the City.

FAA – 09 Copeland Anti-Kickback
APPLICABILITY -
The Copeland (Anti-Kickback) Act (18 USC § 874 and 40 USC § 3145) makes it unlawful to induce by force, intimidation, threat of dismissal from employment, or by any other manner, any person employed in the construction or repair of public buildings or public works, financed in whole or in part by the United States, to give up any part of the compensation to which that person is entitled under a contract of employment. The Copeland Act also requires each contractor and subcontractor to furnish weekly a statement of compliance with respect to the wages paid each employee during the preceding week.
Contract Types –
Construction – This provision applies to all construction contracts and subcontracts financed under the AIP that exceed $2,000.
Equipment – This provision applies to all equipment installation projects (e.g., electrical vault improvements) financed under the AIP that exceed $2,000. This provision does not apply to equipment acquisitions where the equipment is manufactured at the vendor’s plant (e.g., SRE and ARFF vehicles).
Professional Services –The emergence of different project delivery methods has created situations where Professional Service Agreements (PSAs) include tasks that meet the definition of construction, alteration, or repair as defined in 29 CFR Part 5. If such tasks result in work that qualifies as construction, alteration, or repair and it exceeds $2,000, the PSA must incorporate the Copeland Anti-kickback provision.
Property –Ordinarily, land acquisition projects would not involve employment of laborers or mechanics and thus the Copeland Anti-Kickback provision would not apply. However, land projects that involve installation of boundary fencing and demolition of structures would involve laborers and mechanics. The City must include this provision if the land acquisition project involves employment of laborers or mechanics for a contract exceeding $2,000.
REQUIREMENT -
Contractor must comply with the requirements of the Copeland “Anti -Kickback” Act (18 USC 874 and 40 USC 3145), as supplemented by Department of Labor regulation 29 CFR part 3. Contractor and subcontractors are prohibited from inducing, by any means, any person employed on the project to give up any part of the compensation to which the employee is entitled. The Contractor and each Subcontractor must submit to the City, a weekly statement on the wages paid to each employee performing on covered work during the prior week. City must report any violations of the Act to the Federal Aviation Administration.

FAA – 10 Davis Bacon Requirements
APPLICABILITY -
The Davis -Bacon Act (40 USC §§ 3141- 3144, 3146, and 3147) ensures that laborers and mechanics employed under the contract receive pay no less than the locally prevailing wages and fringe benefits as determined by the Department of Labor.
Contract Types –
Construction – all construction contracts and subcontracts that exceed $2,000 and include funding from the AIP.
Equipment – This provision applies to all equipment installation projects (e.g., electrical vault improvements) financed under the AIP that exceed $ 2,000. This provision does not apply to equipment acquisitions where the equipment is manufactured at the vendor’s plant (e.g., SRE and ARFF vehicles)
Professional Services – The emergence of different project delivery methods has created situations where Professional Service Agreements (PSAs) includes tasks that meet the definition of construction, alteration, or repair as defined in 29 CFR Part 5. If such tasks result in work that qualifies as construction, alteration, or repair and it exceeds $2,000, the PSA must incorporate this clause.
Property – Ordinarily, land acquisition projects would not involve employment of laborers or mechanics and thus the provision would not apply. However, land projects that involve installation of boundary fencing and demolition of structures would involve laborers and mechanics. The City must include this provision if the land acquisition project involves employment of laborers or mechanics for a contract exceeding $2,000.
Fencing Projects – Fencing projects that exceed $2,000 must include this provision.
DAVIS-BACON REQUIREMENTS
1. Minimum Wages.
(i) All laborers and mechanics employed or working upon the site of the work will be paid unconditionally and not less often than once a week, and without subsequent deduction or rebate on any account (except such payroll deductions as are permitted by the Secretary of Labor under the Copeland Act (29 CFR Part 3)), the full amount of wages and bona fide fringe benefits (or cash equivalent thereof) due at time of payment computed at rates not less than those contained in the wage determination of the Secretary of Labor which is attached hereto and made a part hereof, regardless of any contractual relationship which may be alleged to exist between the Contractor and such laborers and mechanics.
Contributions made or costs reasonably anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits under section 1(b)(2) of the Davis-Bacon Act on behalf of laborers or mechanics are considered wages paid to such laborers or mechanics, subject to the provisions of paragraph (1)(iv) of this section; also, regular contributions made or costs incurred for more than a weekly period (but not less often than quarterly) under plans, funds, or programs which cover the particular weekly period, are deemed to be constructively made or incurred during such weekly period. Such laborers and mechanics shall be paid the appropriate wage rate and fringe benefits on the wage Item 1T - Page 41
Revised 4.13.23 Page 38 of 69
determination for the classification of work actually performed, without regard to skill, except as provided in 29 CFR § 5.5(a)(4). Laborers or mechanics performing work in more than one classification may be compensated at the rate specified for each classification for the time actually worked therein: Provided, that the employer’s payroll records accurately set forth the time spent in each classification in which work is performed. The wage determination (including any additional classification and wage rates conformed under (1)(ii) of this section) and the Davis-Bacon poster (WH -1321) shall be posted at all times by the Contractor and its subcontractors at the site of the work in a prominent and accessible place where it can easily be seen by the workers.
(ii)(A) The contracting officer shall require that any class of laborers or mechanics, including helpers, which is not listed in the wage determination and which is to be employed under the contract shall be classified in conformance with the wage determination. The contracting officer shall approve an additional classification and wage rate and fringe benefits therefore only when the following criteria have been met:
(1) The work to be performed by the classification requested is not performed by a classification in the wage determination;
(2) The classification is utilized in the area by the construction industry; and (3) The proposed wage rate, including any bona fide fringe benefits, bears a reasonable relationship to the wage rates contained in the wage determination. (B) If the Contractor and the laborers and mechanics to be employed in the classification (if known), or their representatives, and the contracting officer agree on the classification and wage rate (including the amount designated for fringe benefits where appropriate), a report of the action taken shall be sent by the contracting officer to the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division, U.S. Department of Labor, Washington, DC 20210. The Administrator, or an authorized representative, will approve, modify, or disapprove every additional classification action within 30 days of receipt and so advise the contracting officer or will notify the contracting officer within the 30-day period that additional time is necessary. (C) In the event the Contractor, the laborers, or mechanics to be employed in the classification, or their representatives, and the contracting officer do not agree on the proposed classification and wage rate (including the amount designated for fringe benefits, where appropriate), the contracting officer shall refer the questions, including the views of all interested parties and the recommendation of the contracting officer, to the Administrator for determination. The Administrator, or an authorized representative, will issue a determination within 30 days of receipt and so advise the contracting officer or will notify the contracting officer within the 30-day period that additional time is necessary.
(D) The wage rate (including fringe benefits where appropriate) determined pursuant to subparagraphs (1)(ii) (B) or (C) of this paragraph, shall be paid to all workers performing work in the classification under this contract from the first day on which work is performed in the classification.
(iii) Whenever the minimum wage rate prescribed in the contract for a class of laborers or mechanics includes a fringe benefit which is not expressed as an hourly rate, the contractor Item 1T - Page 42
Revised 4.13.23 Page 39 of 69
shall either pay the benefit as stated in the wage determination or shall pay another bona fide fringe benefit or an hourly cash equivalent thereof.
(iv) If the Contractor does not make payments to a trustee or other third person, the Contractor may consider as part of the wages of any laborer or mechanic the amount of any costs reasonably anticipated in providing bona fide fringe benefits under a plan or program, Provided, that the Secretary of Labor has found, upon the written request of the Contractor, that the applicable standards of the Davis -Bacon Act have been met. The Secretary of Labor may require the Contractor to set aside in a separate account assets for the meeting of obligations under the plan or program.
2. Withholding. The Federal Aviation Administration or the CIty shall upon its own action or upon written request of an authorized representative of the Department of Labor withhold or cause to be withheld from the Contractor under this contract or any other Federal contract with the same prime contractor, or any other federally -assisted contract subject to Davis -Bacon prevailing wage requirements, which is held by the same prime contractor, so much of the accrued payments or advances as may be considered necessary to pay laborers and mechanics, including apprentices, trainees, and helpers, employed by the Contractor or any subcontractor the full amount of wages required by the contract. 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 notice 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 described 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 of any costs reasonably anticipated in providing benefits under a plan or program described in section 1(b)(2)(B) of the Davis -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 of 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 agency 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 1T - Page 43
Revised 4.13.23 Page 40 of 69
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 for each employee (e.g., the last four digits of the employee’s social security number). The required weekly payroll information 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 pays 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 during the payroll period has been paid the full 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 forth in Regulations, 29 CFR Part 3;
(3) That each 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 reverse 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 required 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 1T - Page 44
Revised 4.13.23 Page 41 of 69
may, after writte n 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 Off ice of Apprenticeship Training, Employer and Labor Services or a State Apprenticeship 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 progress, expressed as a percentage of the journeymen hourly rate specified 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 specify 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 classification, fringes shall be paid in accordance with that determination. 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 appr enticeship 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, Employment 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 specified 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 1T - Page 45
Revised 4.13.23 Page 42 of 69
trainee program. If the 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 training 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 utilize 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 apprentices, trainees, and journeymen under this part shall be in conformity 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.
6. Subcontracts.
The Contractor or subcontractor 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 instructions 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.

Revised 4.13.23 Page 51 of 69
access to the compensation information of other employees or applicants as a part of such employee's essential job functions discloses the compensation of such other employees or applicants to individuals who do not otherwise have access to such information, unless such disclosure is in response to a formal complaint or charge, in furtherance of an investigation, proceeding, hearing, or action, including an investigation conducted by the employer, or is consistent with the contractor's legal duty to furnish information. (4) The Contractor will send to each labor union or representative of workers with which it has a collective bargaining agreement or other contract or understanding, a notice to be provided by the agency contracting officer, advising the labor union or workers’ representative of the Contractor’s commitments under this section 202 of Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, and shall post copies of the notice in conspicuous places available to employees and applicants for employment.

2. Whenever the Contractor, or any subcontractor at any tier, subcontracts 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 Contractor 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 for those trades which have unions participating in the Plan. Contractors must be able to demonstrate their participation in and compliance with the provisions of any such Hometown Plan. Each contractor or subcontractor participating in an approved plan is individually required to comply with its obligations under the EEO clause and to make a good faith effort to achieve each goal under the Plan in each trade in which it has employees.

The Contractor is expected to make substantially uniform progress in meeting its goals in each craft during the period specified.
5.

6. In order for the nonworking training hours of apprentices and trainees to be counted in meeting the goals, such apprentices and trainees must be employed 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. Trainees must be trained pursuant to training programs approved by the U.S. Department of Labor.
7. The Contractor shall take specific affirmative actions to ensure equal employment opportunity. The evaluation of the Contractor’s compliance with these specifications shall be based upon its effort to achieve maximum results from its actions. The Contractor shall document these efforts fully, and shall implement affirmative action steps at least as extensive as the following:
a. Ensure and maintain a working environment free of harassment, intimidation, and coercion at all sites, and in all facilities at which the Contractor’s employees are assigned to work. The Contractor, where possible, will assign two or more women to each construction project. The Contractor shall specifically ensure that all foremen, superintendents, and other onsite supervisory personnel are aware of and carry out the Contractor’s obligation to maintain such a working environment, with specific attention to minority or female individuals working at such sites or in such facilities. b. Establish and maintain a current list of minority and female recruitment sources, provide written notification to minority and female recruitment sources and to community organizations when the Contractor or its unions have employment opportunities available, and maintain a record of the organizations’ responses. c.

If such individual was sent to the union hiring hall for referral and was not referred back to the Contractor by the union or, if referred, not employed by the Contractor, this shall be documented in the file with the reason therefor, along with whatever additional actions the Contractor may have taken. d. Provide immediate written notification to the Director when the union 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 1T - Page 57
Revised 4.13.23 Page 54 of 69
and apprenticeship and trainee programs relevant to the Contractor’s employment needs, especially those programs funded or approved by the Department of Labor.
The Contractor shall provide notice of these programs to the sources compiled under 7b above.
f. Disseminate the Contractor’s EEO policy by providing notice of the policy to unions and training programs and requesting their cooperation in assisting the Contractor in meeting its EEO obligations; by including it in any policy manual and collective bargaining agreement; by publicizing it in the company newspaper, annual report, etc.; by specific review of the policy with all management personnel and with all minority and female employees at least once a year; and by posting the company EEO policy on bulletin boards accessible to all employees at each location where construction work is performed.
g. Review, at least annually, the company’s EEO policy and affirmative action obligations under these specifications with all employees having any responsibility for hiring, assignment, layoff, termination, or other employment decisions including specific review of these items with onsite supervisory personnel such superintendents, general foremen, etc., prior to the initiation of construction work at any job site. A written record shall be made and maintained identifying the time and place of these meetings, persons attending, subject matter discussed, and disposition of the subject matter. h. Disseminate the Contractor’s EEO policy externally by including it in any advertising in the news media, specifically including minority and female news media, and providing written notification to and discussing the Contractor’s EEO policy with other contractors and subcontractors with whom the Contractor does or anticipates doing business. i. 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. Not later than one month prior to the date for the acceptance of applications for apprenticeship or other training by any recruitment source, the Contractor shall send written notification to organizations such as the above, describing the openings, screening procedures, and tests to be used in the selection process.
j. Encourage present min ority and female employees to recruit other minority persons and women and, where reasonable, provide after school, summer, and vacation employment to minority and female youth both on the site and in other areas of a contractor’s work force.
k. Validate all tests and other selection requirements where there is an obligation to do so under 41 CFR part 60-3.
l. Conduct, at least annually, an inventory and evaluation at least of all minority and female personnel, for promotional opportunities and encourage these employees to seek or to prepare for, through appropriate training, etc., such opportunities. m. Ensure that seniority practices, job classifications, work assignments, and other personnel practices do not have a discriminatory effect by continually monitoring all Item 1T - Page 58
Revised 4.13.23 Page 55 of 69
personnel and employment related activities to ensure that the EEO policy and the Contractor’s obligations under these specifications are being carried out. n. Ensure that all facilities and company activities are nonsegregated exc ept that separate or single- user toilet and necessary changing facilities shall be provided to assure privacy between the sexes.
o. Document and maintain a record of all solicitations of offers for subcontracts from minority and female construction contractors and suppliers, including circulation of solicitations to minority and female contractor associations and other business associations.
p. Conduct a review, at least annually, of all supervisor’s adherence to and performance under the Contractor’s EEO policies and affirmative action obligations.
8. Contractors are encouraged to participate in voluntary associations, which assist in fulfilling one or more of their affirmative action obligations (7a through 7p). The efforts of a contractor association, joint contractor -union, contractor-community, or other similar group of which the Contractor is a member and participant may be asserted as fulfilling any one or more of its obligations under 7a through 7p of these specifications 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 industry, ensures that the concrete benefits of the program are reflected in the Contractor’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 demonstrates the 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 for 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, color, 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. The Contractor shall carry out such sanctions and penalties for violation of these specifications and of the Equal Opportunity Clause, including suspension, termination, and cancellation of existing subcontracts as may be imposed or ordered pursuant to Executive Order 11246, as amended, and its implementing regulations, by the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs. Any contractor who fails to carry out such sanctions and Item 1T - Page 59
Revised 4.13.23 Page 56 of 69
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 efforts to ensure equal employment opportunity. If the Contractor fails to comply with 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 t o 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 at least include for each employee, the name, address, telephone numbers, construction trade, union affiliation if any, employee identification number when assigned, social security number, race, sex, status (e.g., mechanic, apprentice, trainee, helper, or laborer), dates of changes in status, hours worked per week in the indicated trade, rate of pay, and locations at which the work was performed. 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 standards of compliance 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).

The Contractor must provide immediate written notice to the City if the Contractor learns that its certification or that of a subcontractor was erroneous when submitted or has become erroneous by reason of changed circumstances. The Contractor must require subcontractors provide immediate written notice to the Contractor if at any time it learns that its certification was erroneous by reason of changed circumstances.

BACKGROUND:
Over the years, the Airport’s perimeter fence has undergone a variety of maintenance and repair actions.

Item 1U - Page 1
City Council Staff Report
September 26, 2023 -- Page 2
Award On-Call Fence Repair/Installation Services Contract The Airport’s fencing serves as a critical component in safeguarding the security and integrity of an airport facility to meet compliance with Transportation Security Administration and Federal Aviation Administration airfield requirements . The Airport’s perimeter fence is the first line of defense against unauthorized access and potential threats to the runway, taxiways, aircraft ramps and aircraft parking. Airport perimeters are vast, and maintaining a secure and controlled environment within these boundaries is essential for the safety of passengers, staff , aircraft s, and valuable airport assets.
Because the A irport's perimeter fencing is a critical component of its security infrastructure, the fencing requires timely maintenance and occasional repairs to ensure the Airport's safety and security standards are upheld.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
The c
ontract with Red Hawk Services, 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.
A
n Invitation for Bids (IFB 23-35) was initiated by the City’s Procurement and Contracting Department on August 3, 2023, based on the Department of Aviation specifications. 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 August 29, 2023, deadline as follows:
Vendor Bid
Red Hawk Services, Inc., Perris, CA $123,998.00
S
ince only one bid was received, the pricing was analyzed by the Aviation Department 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. 23B 204 with Red Hawk Services, Inc. for the initial three-year term in the amount not to exceed $600,000 effective October 1, 2023 through September 30, 2026, subject to two one-year optional renewals at the sole discretion of the City.
T
he on-call contract will cover parts, labor, and fence rental. Staff has budgeted $200,000 for Fiscal Year 2023- 24, and $200,000 will be budgeted for Fiscal Years 2024- 25 and 2025-26 respectively to ensure that funding is available for any unforeseen maintenance and repair services.
E
NVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:
T
he 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 Item 1U - Page 2
City Council Staff Report
September 26, 2023 -- Page 3
Award On-Call Fence Repair/Installation Services Contract
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.
FISCAL IMPACT:
$200,000 is budgeted in the Department of Aviation, Security Account 4157026-40105 in Fiscal Year 2023-24 . The remaining annual amounts will be budgeted in future fiscal years.
