By accepting this contract the Contractor certifies the following statements are true – 1) is not owned or controlled by one or more citizens of a foreign country included in the list of countries that discriminate against U.S. firms as published by the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR);
2) has not knowingly entered into any contract or subcontract for this project with a person that is a citizen or national of a foreign country included on the list of countries that discriminate against U.S. firms as published by the USTR; and

This certification concerns a matter within the jurisdiction of an agency of the United States of America and the making of a false, fictitious, or fraudulent certification may render the maker subject to prosecution under Title 18 USC Section 1001.
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.

3) who incorporates in the public works project any product of a foreign country on such USTR list.
Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be construed to require establishment of a system of records in order to render, in good faith, the certification required by this provision. The knowledge and information of a contractor is not required to exceed that which is normally possessed by a prudent person in the ordinary course of business dealings.
The Contractor agrees it will incorporate this provision for certification without modification in all lower tier subcontracts.

U.S. firms as published by USTR, unless the Contractor has knowledge that the certification is erroneous.
This certification is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when making an award. If it is later determined that the Contractor or subcontractor knowingly rendered an erroneous certification, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) may direct through the City cancellation of the contract or subcontract for default at no cost to the City or the FAA.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: FEBRUARY 29, 2024 CONSENT CALENDAR
SUBJECT: APPROVE THE FUNDING OF FOUR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT
PROJECTS FROM MEASURE J FUNDS FOR THE PALM SPRINGS
INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
FROM: Scott C. Stiles, City Manager
BY: Department of Aviation
SUMMARY:
This action will approve the funding of four capital improvement projects from Measure J funds in an amount not to exceed $1,550,000 for the Palm Springs International Airport (Airport).
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Approve the funding of four capital improvement projects from Measure J funds in an amount not to exceed $1,550,000 for the Palm Springs International Airport.
2. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute all necessary documents.
3. Direct staff to file a Notice of Exemption with the County of Riverside County Clerk.
BUSINESS PRINCIPAL DISCLOSURE:
N/A.
BACKGROUND:
On September 20, 2023, Finance Director Kristopher Mooney notified the Airport Commission that in 2012, the Federal Aviation Administration passed a rule that required any local aviation fuel tax that had been collected from 2008 to current had to be set aside and used for airport related expenses. Finance Director Mooney also informed the Airport Commission that the City had put the Measure J sales tax in place in 2012; and in 2017, the Measure J Oversight Commission began to set aside the estimated amount of $200,000 per year for the Airport. Moreover, there is an estimated $1.5 million in the Item 1J - Page 1
City Council Staff Report
February 29, 2024 -- Page 2
Approve Funding of Four Capital Improvement Projects
Airport’s Measure J fund, and the Measure J Oversight Commission continues to set aside $200,000 per year in the Airport’s Measure J fund.
Finance Director Mooney advised the Airport staff and the Airport Commission that there were three approvals that needed to be completed, in the following order, before the Measure J funds could be used: 1) The Airport Commission must approve the projects; 2) The Measure J Oversight Commission must approve the projects; and 3) The City Council must give the final approval of the projects.
On October 18, 2023, the Airport Commission voted unanimously in favor to recommend to the Measure J Committee the approval of funding the following four Airport capital improvement projects with Measure J funds:
Proposed Projects Estimated Cost
Shade Structure – Uber/Lyft/Taxi Pick-Up Area $1,000,000 Carpet Replacement – Main Terminal Lobby and
Security Checkpoint $400,000
Eight (8) Water Fill Stations for Portable Water Bottles $50,000 Mid-Century Outdoor Seating Benches, Circular
Benches, Interior Benches and Cement Planting
Structures
$100,000
Total Estimated Cost $1,550,000
On November 16, 2023, the Measure J Oversight Commission voted unanimously in favor to recommend to the City Council the approval of funding the four Airport capital improvement projects with Measure J funds.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
As part of the ongoing efforts to enhance the Airport’s facilities and services, staff is recommending the funding of the four Airport capital improvement projects with Measure J funds. The four proposed Airport capital improvement projects are vital for the enhancement of the overall Airport passenger experience.
Shade Structure – Uber/Lyft/Taxi Pick-Up Area
The installation of a dedicated shade structure for the Uber, Lyft, and Taxi pick-up area is essential to ensure the comfort and safety of passengers during their arrivals. The proposed $1,000,000 investment will provide much-needed protection from the elements, contributing to a positive transportation experience.
Carpet Replacement – Main Terminal Lobby and Security Checkpoint Aesthetic and functional improvements are paramount in high-traffic areas such as the main terminal lobby and security checkpoint of the Airport. The proposed $400,000 investment in carpet replacement will enhance the visual appeal of these spaces, and a Item 1J - Page 2
City Council Staff Report
February 29, 2024 -- Page 3
Approve Funding of Four Capital Improvement Projects
well-maintained environment enhances the passenger experience and leaves a favorable impression on both the airlines and the passengers.
Eight (8) Water Fill Stations for Portable Water Bottles The installation of eight (8) water fill stations for portable water bottles is in line with the Airport’s commitment to sustainability. The proposed $50,000 investment will provide convenient access to free drinking water which will reduce the reliance on single-use plastic bottles, and it will promote environmental responsibility.
Mid-Century Outdoor Seating Benches, Circular Benches, Interior Benches, and Cement Planting Structures
The preservation of Mid-Century architecture and design is essential for maintaining the key characteristics of the Airport and Palm Springs. The proposed $100,000 investment will highlight and encourage an appreciation for Mid-Century architecture and design.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the approval of funding and the four capital improvement projects detailed above (“Project”) is categorically exempt under State CEQA Guideline section 15303: Class 3 “New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures”, which states “Class 3 consists of construction and location of limited numbers of new, small facilities or structures; installation of small new equipment and facilities in small structures; and the conversion of existing small structures from one use to another where only minor modifications are made in the exterior of the structure. Here, the requested action includes funding for four capital improvement projects, each of which includes the installation of small new equipment: shade structure, new carpet, water fill stations, and benches.
The City has also considered whether the Project is subject to any of the six (6) exceptions that would prohibit the use of a categorical exemption as set forth in State CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2. The six (6) exceptions to this Exemption are: (a) Location; (b) Cumulative Impacts; (c) Significant Effect; (d) Scenic Highways; (e) Hazardous Waste Sites; and (f) Historical Resources.
a. Location exception only applies to Class 3, 4, 5, 6 and 11 exemptions, none of which are being utilized here;
b. There is no possibility of a cumulative impact of the same type of Project in the same place over time. The Project involves improvement projects, such as shade structure, new carpet, water fill stations, and benches. The likelihood of a successive Project on this site is low and probability of a cumulative impact is low; c. The Project is not marked by unusual circumstances. There is nothing unusual about capital improvement projects to an existing airport. d. The Project would not damage scenic resources, including but not limited to, trees, historic buildings, rock outcroppings, or similar resources, within a Item 1J - Page 3
City Council Staff Report

Approve Funding of Four Capital Improvement Projects
highway officially designated as a state scenic highway; e. The Project is not located on a site which is included on any list compiled pursuant to Section 65962.5 of the Government Code; and f. The Project would not cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource.
If the Project is approved, staff will file a CEQA Notice of Exemption within five working days of this action.
ALIGNMENT WITH STRATEGIC PLANNING:
Approval of this action supports City Council priority 2A, Improve City Facilities.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funds are set aside in the Measure J Fund Balance, and the funds will be appropriated to Measure J Account Number 2603080-80000 in the amounts of $1.495 million in FY24 and $55,000 in FY25 to fund the four Airport capital improvement projects.

SUBJECT: AUTHORIZE THE PURCHASE OF 5 NEW VEHICLES
FROM: Scott C. Stiles, City Manager
BY: David McAbee, Director of Public Works
SUMMARY:
This action will authorize issuance of a purchase order for the purchase of new vehicles in an amount not to exceed $321,614.24. Three new vehicles are for use by the Airport for added positions, one new vehicle is for use by the Parks & Recreation Department, and one new vehicle is for use by the Police Department.
Funding for this action is available from the Airport Fund (Fund 416), a separate fund established solely for operations of the Airport, and the Motor Vehicle Fund (Fund 510), a separate fund established solely for the purchase of vehicles and equipment.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Approve the issuance of a purchase order to 72 Hour LLC dba National Auto Fleet Group, for the purchase of 3 Ford F-150 Lightning Pro 4WD SuperCrew, 1 Ford F-150 Police Responder XL 4WD SuperCrew, and 1 Ford Transit Passenger Wagon T-350 in an amount not to exceed $321,614.24;
2. After delivery of the new vehicles, declare existing vehicles being replaced as surplus vehicles and authorize the City Manager or designee to sell at public auction in accordance with Chapter 7.07 of the Palm Springs Municipal Code; and,
3. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute all necessary documents.
BUSINESS PRINCIPAL DISCLOSURE:

Item 1K - Page 1
City Council Staff Report
February 29, 2024 -- Page 2
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 to this report. However, in the past economic 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 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.
Staff has initiated this purchase through Sourcewell’s national cooperative purchasing program; 72 Hour LLC dba National Auto Fleet Group awarded contract #091521-NAF for the procurement of automobiles, SUVs, vans, and light trucks with related equipment and accessories. This cooperative contract includes provisions that allow the awarded vendor to extend the same contract pricing to other public agencies. As such, pursuant to the provisions of the Procurement Ordinance, 7.099.010, the City Council may authorize procurement of vehicles and equipment under this pricing afforded through this cooperative contract.
The requested action includes the purchase of 3 Ford electric F-150 Lightning Pro 4WD SuperCrews, 1 Ford F-150 Police Responder XL 4WD SuperCrew, and 1 Ford Transit Passenger Wagon T-350 vehicles. The purchase of these vehicles follows the City’s Environmentally Preferable Purchasing Policy.
Staff has identified the following lists of replacement and new vehicles for the indicated departments.

FISCAL IMPACT:
Sufficient funding is available in Airport Accounts 4167065-60020 and 4167070-50126, and Fleet Account 5106560-60020.

SUBJECT: AUTHORIZE THE PURCHASE OF ONE (1) NEW JCB
512P83R TELEHANDLER AND ATTACHMENT EQUIPMENT IN AN
AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $373,468.55
FROM: Scott C. Stiles, City Manager
BY: David McAbee, Director of Public Works
SUMMARY:
This action will authorize the purchase of one new JCB 512P83R Telehandler for the Aviation Department at a purchase price of $373,468.55 through the national Sourcewell cooperative purchase agreement # 040319-JCB.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Approve the issuance of a purchase order to JCB Southern California LLC for the purchase of one new JCB 512P53R Telehandler and equipment in an amount not to exceed $373,468.55 (Attachment A), inclusive of sales tax;
2. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute all necessary documents.
BUSINESS PRINCIPAL DISCLOSURE:
A copy of JCB Southern California LLC Public Integrity Disclosure form is included as Attachment B.
BACKGROUND:
High reach telehandlers are machines that deliver jobsite materials to heights up to 65 feet above ground level. These pieces of equipment are versatile, allowing the use of various attachments, allowing staff the ability to complete different tasks while utilizing only one piece of equipment, increasing job efficiency. This machine combines the reach and lifting capability of a crane with the maneuverability of a telehandler along with the access capability of a mobile work platform.
Airport Maintenance needs a high capacity, rotating telehandler with a variety of attachments to assist in the day-to-day operational functions. The Public Works Item 1L - Page 1
City Council Staff Report

Authorize Purchase of Telehandler and Attachment Equipment Department worked with the Aviation Department on the requirements needed for this piece of equipment to identify the best value product.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
Staff has initiated this purchase through Sourcewell’s national cooperative purchasing program, JCB Southern California LLC awarded contract #040319-JCB for the procurement of heavy construction equipment with related attachments and technology.
This cooperative contract includes provisions that allow the awarded vendor to extend the same contract pricing to other public agencies.

Sourcewell provides the most competitive price for this type of equipment.

The equipment to be acquired in this action is a traditional diesel-powered motor that meets California Air Resources Board standards (the manufacturer does not offer a hybrid engine option) and was selected for their specific performance and operational requirements.
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. According to Section 15378(b), 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.

PARKING CALIFORNIA, LLC FOR PARKING ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES
FROM: Scott C. Stiles, City Manager
BY: Special Programs Compliance Department
SUMMARY:
Award a contract services agreement with LAZ Parking California, LLC for parking enforcement services.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Approve Contract Services Agreement No. 24P016 (Attachment A) with LAZ Parking California, LLC to provide parking enforcement services for a five-year term in an amount not to exceed $1,633,767 beginning March 1, 2024, through February 28, 2029, with two one-year extension options at the City’s sole discretion; and

BUSINESS PRINCIPAL DISCLOSURE:
According to the Public Integrity Disclosure form (Attachment B) submitted on December 28, 2023, LAZ Parking California, LLC is registered in the states of Connecticut and California.
BACKGROUND:
Palm Springs is a popular resort destination during the winter and spring months, filling local hotels and businesses with visitors from all over the world. The City has a core downtown and uptown shopping and entertainment district which requires the enforcement of the on-street and parking lot parking program by a qualified parking enforcement company. The City does not utilize City Police Patrol officers to enforce the parking program.
Item 1M - Page 1
City Council Staff Report
February 29, 2024 -- Page 2
Award Parking Enforcement Services Contract
The Contractor and all of its personnel have demonstrated an exceptional familiarity with parking enforcement statutes, laws, ordinances, policies, parking program technologies, as well as citation, towing and hearing procedures. As tourism is the driving force of the Palm Springs economy, the Contractor, and all of its personnel, must have a documented and superior understanding of public relations, customer service practices and conflict mitigation techniques. The City requires enforcement services be provided in a courteous, professional manner that facilitates positive relationships with the City's residential and business communities and with the many visitors that come to enjoy the City of Palm Springs.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
The Special Program Compliance Department worked with the Procurement and Contracting Department to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) to find a contractor for the needed services. The RFP was advertised in the local newspaper and published on the PlanetBids website. Three proposals were received by the deadline of December 28, 2023 as follows:
• ACE Parking III, LLC – San Diego, CA
• Conure Technology Services, LLC – Suwanee, GA
• LAZ Parking California, LLC – Palm Springs, CA
The evaluation team made up of City staff from the Special Programs Compliance, Police, and Sustainability Departments evaluated the proposals received against published criteria that included the firms experience, the staff experience, the understanding of the scope of work, local preference, and price.
ACE Parking III, LLC and LAZ Parking California, LLC were interviewed and scored by the evaluation team. All scores were then combined to determine the highest-ranking firm.
LAZ Parking California, LLC was ranked the highest by the evaluation team and is being recommended for award of the contract.
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.

Contractor is aware of the requirements of California Labor Code Sections 1720 et seq. and 1770 et seq., which require the payment of prevailing wage rates and the performance of other requirements on certain “public works” and “maintenance” projects (“Prevailing Wage Laws”). If the Services are being performed as part of an applicable “public works” or “maintenance” project, as defined by the Prevailing Wage Laws, and if the total compensation is $15,000 or more for maintenance or $25,000 or more for construction, alteration, demolition, installation, or repair, Contractor agrees to fully comply with such Prevailing Wage Laws. Contractor shall defend, indemnify, and hold the City, its officials, officers, employees, and agents free and harmless from any claims, liabilities, costs, penalties, or interest arising out of any failure or alleged failure to comply with the Prevailing Wage Laws.
It shall be mandatory upon the Contractor and all subcontractors to comply with all California Labor Code provisions, which include but are not limited to prevailing wages (Labor Code Item 1M - Page 8
Sections 1771, 1774 and 1775), employment of apprentices (Labor Code Section 1777.5), certified payroll records (Labor Code Sections 1771.4 and 1776), hours of labor (Labor Code Sections 1813 and 1815) and debarment of contractors and subcontractors (Labor Code Section 1777.1).
B. If the Services are being performed as part of an applicable “public works” or “maintenance” project and if the total compensation is $15,000 or more for maintenance or $25,000 or more for construction, alteration, demolition, installation, or repair, then pursuant to Labor Code Sections 1725.5 and 1771.1, the Contractor and all subcontractors performing such Services must be registered with the Department of Industrial Relations. Contractor shall maintain registration for the duration of the Project and require the same of any subcontractors, as applicable. This Agreement may also be subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the Department of Industrial Relations. It shall be Contractor’s sole responsibility to comply with all applicable registration and labor compliance requirements.
6. INSURANCE
Contractor shall procure and maintain, at its sole cost and expense, policies of insurance as set forth in the attached Exhibit "B", incorporated herein by reference.
7. INDEMNIFICATION.
7.1 Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Contractor shall defend (at Contractor’s sole cost and expense), indemnify, protect, and hold harmless City, its elected officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers (collectively the “Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all liabilities, actions, suits, claims, demands, losses, costs, judgments, arbitration awards, settlements, damages, demands, orders, penalties, and expenses including legal costs and attorney fees (collectively “Claims”), including but not limited to Claims arising from injuries to or death of persons (Contractor’s employees included), for damage to property, including property owned by City, for any violation of any federal, state, or local law or ordinance or in any manner arising out of, pertaining to, or incident to any acts, errors or omissions, or willful misconduct committed by Contractor, its officers, employees, representatives, and agents, that arise out of or relate to Contractor’s performance of Services or this Agreement. This indemnification clause excludes Claims arising from the sole negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Parties. Under no circumstances shall the insurance requirements and limits set forth in this Agreement be construed to limit Contractor’s indemnification obligation or other liability under this Agreement. Contractor’s indemnification obligation shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement until all actions against the Indemnified Parties for such matters indemnified are fully and finally barred by the applicable statute of limitations or, if an action is timely filed, until such action is final.
7.2 Design Professional Services Indemnification and Reimbursement. If Contractor’s obligation to defend, indemnify, and/or hold harmless arises out of Contractor’s performance as a “design professional” (as that term is defined under Civil Code section 2782.8), then, and only to the extent required by Civil Code section 2782.8, which is fully incorporated herein, Contractor’s indemnification obligation shall be limited to the extent which the Claims arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of the Contractor in the performance of the Services or this Agreement, and, upon Contractor obtaining a final adjudication by a court of competent jurisdiction, Contractor’s liability for such claim, including the cost to defend, shall not exceed the Contractor’s proportionate percentage of fault.

D. Both the Workers’ Compensation and Employers' Liability policies shall contain the insurer's waiver of subrogation in favor of City, its elected officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers.
In addition to the endorsements listed above, the City of Palm Springs shall be named the certificate holder on the policies.
All certificates of insurance and endorsements are to be received and approved by the City before work commences. All certificates of insurance must be authorized by a person with authority to bind coverage, whether that is the authorized agent/broker or insurance underwriter.

At the option of the City, either (1) the insurer shall reduce or eliminate such deductibles or self-insured retentions with respect to the City, its elected officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers; or (2) Contractor shall procure a bond guaranteeing payment of losses and related investigations, claim administration, and defense expenses. Certificates of Insurance must include evidence of the amount of any deductible or Item 1M - Page 26
self-insured retention under the policy. Contractor guarantees payment of all deductibles and self-insured retentions.

SUBJECT: APPROVE CONTRACT SERVICES AGREEMENT NO. 24B022 WITH TERRACON CONSULTANTS, INC. FOR ON-CALL ENVIRONMENTAL
AND ABATEMENT TESTING SERVICES
FROM: Scott C. Stiles, City Manager
BY: David McAbee, Director of Public Works
SUMMARY:
This action will approve Contract Services Agreement No. 24B022 with Terracon Consultants, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $310,000 for on-call environmental and abatement testing services.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Approve Contract Services Agreement 24B022 (Attachment A) with Terracon Consultants, Inc. to provide on-call environmental and abatement testing services in an amount not to exceed $310,000 for the initial three-year term beginning March 1, 2024, through February 28, 2027, with two one-year extension options at the City’s sole discretion; and
2. Authorize the City Manager or his designee to execute all necessary documents.
BUSINESS PRINCIPAL DISCLOSURE:
According to the Public Integrity Disclosure form (Attachment B) submitted on January 18, 2024, Terracon Consultants, Inc. is registered in the states of Delaware and California.
BACKGROUND:
The City requires on-call environmental and abatement testing services of various city owned or leased facilities. Work includes asbestos and lead based paint consulting, mold assessment, indoor air quality surveys, bacterial and sewage assessment, smoke and soot assessment, and other environmental site assessments.
Item 1N - Page 1
City Council Staff Report
February 29, 2024 -- Page 2
Award On-Call Environmental and Abatement Testing Services Contract The City previously entered into contract service agreements with Infotox, Inc., and L.Y.
Environmental, Inc., for on-call environmental and abatement testing services which expire February 28 and April 30, 2024. These contracts provided for an annual expenditure of $35,000 but fell short of funding this December 2023, requiring the department to initiate an Invitation for Bids through the Procurement and Contracting Department.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
The contract with Terracon Consultants, 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 therefore may not match the bid amounts.
An Invitation for Bids (IFB 23-48) was initiated by the City’s Procurement and Contracting Department on December 20, 2023, based on the Department of Public Works specifications. Bids were solicited directly via the City’s procurement vendor portal, PlanetBids. In addition, the IFB was advertised in The Desert Sun. Six bids were received by the January 18, 2024, deadline as follows:
Vendor Bid
Terracon Consultants, Inc. – Colton, CA $307,861.50
L.Y. Environmental, Inc. – Redlands, CA $349,240.00
EFI Global, Inc. – Inglewood, CA $391,672.00
Terra Environmental Services, Inc. – Santa Fe Springs, CA $486,730.00 A-Tech Consulting, Inc. – Orange, CA $533,405.00
Omega Environmental Services, Inc. – Newport Beach, CA $753,359.00 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. 24B022 with Terracon Consultants, Inc. for the initial three-year term in the amount not to exceed $310,000 effective March 1, 2024, through February 28, 2027, 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.

Award On-Call Citywide Roadway Striping/Stenciling Services Contract and markings; application of thermoplastic, installation of pavement markers, curb painting; and traffic control.
As part of routine street maintenance services, the Street Maintenance division strives to re-stripe street lanes and re-paint legends on City owned streets and parking lots citywide.
During the Fiscal Year 2023-24 and 2024-25 budget process, Public Works requested and was approved an increased budget to retain on-call striping and stenciling services to provide for the implementation of routine refreshing of city owned streets and parking lots.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
The contract with Superior Pavement Markings, 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 23-47) was initiated by the City’s Procurement and Contracting Department on December 20, 2023, based on the Department of Public Works specifications. Bids were solicited directly via the City’s procurement vendor portal, PlanetBids. In addition, the IFB was advertised in The Desert Sun. Four bids were received by the January 17, 2024, deadline as follows:
Vendor Bid
Cat Tracking Inc. – Riverside, CA $16,677.00
Chrisp Company – Bloomington, CA $14,267.00
PCI – Azusa, CA $9,858.00
Superior Pavement Markings, Inc. – Cypress, CA $9,485.00 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. 24B021 with Superior Pavement Markings, Inc. for the initial three-year term in the amount not to exceed $900,000 effective March 1, 2024, through February 28, 2027, 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 Item 1O - Page 2

Award On-Call Citywide Roadway Striping/Stenciling Services Contract result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment.
ALIGNMENT WITH STRATEGIC PLANNING:
Approval of this action supports City Council priority 2, Community Infrastructure.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Sufficient funds are budgeted and available in Fiscal Year 2023-24 and 2024-25, Measure A 1343085-80000 and Street Maintenance 1006515-40105. An appropriation of $256,496.50 will be processed from Gas Tax fund balance to Special Gas Tax Improvements account 1333090-80000.

SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF THE FISCAL YEAR 2024/2025 CSA 152 SPECIAL
ASSESSMENT RATE
FROM: Scott C. Stiles, City Manager
BY: Department of Finance and Treasury
SUMMARY:
In accordance with an administrative services agreement with Riverside County for administration of the County Service Area 152 (“CSA 152”) for the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (“NPDES”), Riverside County requires the City to establish its CSA 152 budget and confirm the levy of special assessment for Fiscal Year 2024/2025 so that Riverside County can assemble and coordinate with the County’s levy of special assessments. This item approves the CSA 152 special assessment rate of $9.50 per single family residential property, which remains unchanged from prior years’ assessments.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution No. ____, “A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA, MAKING FINDINGS AND REAFFIRMING THE ESTABLISHMENT AND SETTING OF RATES FOR COUNTY SERVICE AREA 152 FOR FISCAL YEAR 2024/2025 TO FUND THE CITY’S NATIONAL POLLUTION DISCHARGE
ELIMINATION SYSTEM (NPDES) PERMIT IN ORDER TO OPERATE AND MAINTAIN THE CITY’S DRAINAGE AND FLOOD CONTROL SYSTEMS.”
BACKGROUND:
The NPDES Program is a federally mandated program to control non-point sources of runoff pollution. In 1972, the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (“Clean Water Act” or “CWA”) was amended to provide that discharge of pollutants to waters of the United States from any point source is effectively prohibited, unless the discharge is in compliance with a NPDES Permit.
In 1982, the Clean Water Act was amended to establish a framework for regulating municipal and industrial stormwater discharges under the NPDES Program.

Pollutants in urban runoff are carried through what the NPDES permit calls a Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (“MS4”). The MS4 includes the entire system of streets, curb gutters, catch basins, storm drains, channels, etc., that convey stormwater runoff (rain) from one location to the various waters of the United States, including Tahquitz Creek, Palm Canyon Wash, and Whitewater River.
The main goal of the NPDES permit is to prevent runoff coming from public or private properties from polluting the waters of the United States. The permit allows the City to identify various locations of pollution, to review existing programs designed to protect against water pollution, to develop new programs to meet federal requirements, and to provide programs to educate the public on the problems associated with polluted stormwater runoff.
The permit also allows the City to regulate the discharge of pollutants from development projects, existing industrial facilities, restaurants, and commercial sites. Therefore, the City is required to inspect these sites with a frequency that is based on various factors.
This includes the type of business, the activities that occur at the site, the types of potential pollutants present, past compliance history, and proximity to waters of the United States. Businesses are assigned a high, medium or low inspection priority, based on the Standard Industrial Code (SIC). Businesses that are classified as high priority must be inspected annually, medium priority businesses are inspected once every two years, and low priority businesses are inspected once every five years.
Examples of polluted stormwater runoff that are to be prevented through the City’s NPDES inspection program are shown in the following photos:

CSA 152 Annual Report/Levy Assessment
Riverside County originally formed CSA 152 to finance a portion of its programs and obligations associated with its NPDES Permit. The City of Palm Springs annexed into CSA 152 in 1993 to allow for the levy of special assessments to offset the City’s costs related to administering its own NPDES Program.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
On June 23, 2016, the City Council approved an Administrative Services Agreement with Riverside County that facilitates the County’s administration of the NPDES Program on the City’s behalf to be offset by the special assessments collected in CSA 152. The special assessment rate in Palm Springs is $9.50 annually, per Benefit Assessment Unit (“BAU”). BAU is defined as a single-family home on a 7,200 square feet (1/6 acre) lot.
In accordance with the City’s agreement with Riverside County, the City is required to complete its annual report for the CSA 152 Program and confirm the CSA 152 assessment. This will allow Riverside County the time needed to assemble and coordinate the levy of the special assessments in the next tax roll.
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the Resolution making certain findings and setting the BAU for CSA 152 at the currently adopted existing rate of $9.50. This is equal to the previous BAU special assessment rates adopted by the City Council. A copy of the required annual report, confirming the special assessment rate is appropriate, is included as Attachment A.
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 Photo 3: Oils and polluted contaminants
in a drainage gutter
Photo 4: Clean-up of illegal dumping into
a stream bed.

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.
According to Section 15378(b), 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 2, Community Infrastructure.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The CSA 152 special assessment of $9.50 per BAU is estimated to generate approximately $472,156 in revenue in Fiscal Year 2024/2025 to fund all activities associated with the City’s NPDES Program.

City of Palm Springs
Fiscal Year 2023/24 Annual Report – County Service Area 152 1 Executive Summary
The County of Riverside (the “County”) formed County Service Area 152 (the “CSA 152”) on November 26, 1991 with the passage of Resolution No. 93‐634. At formation, CSA 152 encompassed all unincorporated lands within the boundaries of the County. The purpose of the formation was to provide for implementation of the federally mandated National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Program (the “Program”) to control non‐point source pollution. Non‐point source pollution, caused by rain or snowmelt, moves water over and through the ground picking up natural or synthetic pollutants from the ground and then transmitting these pollutants into streams, rivers, lakes, wetlands, estuaries, coastal water, and groundwater.
NPDES is part of the Clean Water Act, Section 319, enacted by Congress in 1987. The Clean Water Act requires that all municipal, industrial, and commercial facilities that discharge wastewater or storm water directly from a point source into waters of the United States must obtain a NPDES permit. Permits are issued to ensure the receiving water will achieve the federally mandated water quality standards. States are required to address such pollution by producing assessment reports, adopting management programs to control non‐point source pollution, and implementing these management programs to curb pollution.
The Program requires runoff to be controlled by all storm water systems. Therefore, all local agencies, including the City of Palm Springs (the “City”), bear the responsibility for their own storm water systems, which they own and operate. Storm water systems include, but are not limited to roadways, drainage systems, washes, etc. As such, the City annexed into CSA 152 in 1993, to allow for the levy of the Charge to offset the City’s costs related to administering the Program.
Annually the City Council of the City of Palm Springs (the “City Council”) will pass a resolution approving the annual report (the “Report”) and setting the Benefit Assessment Unit (BAU) Rate. The proposed BAU Rate for Fiscal Year 2023/24 remains at $9.50.
The following table summarizes the proposed Fiscal Year 2023/24 annual levy to cover the management and implementation of the Program:

Taxable Possessory Interest 5,143 $98,673.72
Total: 28,977 $472,156.30
The Program is levied in accordance with the methodology adopted and approved by the City Council at the time of the CSA 152 formation. The final levy submitted to the Riverside County Auditor‐Controller in August may vary due to changes in the County’s secured roll data that is released in July.

Fiscal Year 2023/24 Annual Report – County Service Area 152 6 Methodology of Charge
The methodology for the charge is the BAU method developed by Riverside County Flood Control District.
This method spreads the total charge to parcels within CSA 152 in proportion to each parcel’s runoff.
Runoff is determined by first knowing a parcel’s size in acres, its present land use, and then assigning a runoff factor to its general land use category. Runoff factors are estimates of how much rainfall runs off a parcel in comparison to the amount of rainfall that falls on a parcel. In other words, the runoff factor is a way of expressing the relative degree of imperviousness of parcels with different land uses. Paved and improved parcels have runoff factors closer to 1.0 (where 1.0 equals 100% runoff) than do unpaved or unimproved parcels. Reducing the large number of land uses in the County to six general categories for estimating runoff under the benefit assessment procedure provides for a manageable and reasonable computation method.
For the Program, additional factors have been brought into the analysis that consider the type of activity on that land use. The Program is required by Federal Regulation to focus its attention on urbanized areas or developments and to exclude agricultural properties. Therefore, agricultural, and vacant undeveloped properties have been completely exempted from the Program though they may have some amount of runoff.
The computation of the charge for any parcel is based on the number of BAUs assigned to that parcel. A single‐family residential parcel of 7,200 square feet (1/6 acre) in size with a runoff factor of 0.40 was selected as the standard BAU. The number of BAUs for any other parcel can be computed by relating its size and land use to the BAU.
Land Use Categories
The table below shows the six categories of land use, their respective runoff factors, and the BAU per acre.
Group Land Use Factor BAU Per Acre
A Commercial, Industrial 0.80 12
B Apartments/Mobile Home Parks, Churches, Schools 0.60 9 C Single Family Residential(1) 0.40 6
D Poultry, Irrigated/Cultivated Crops, Livestock, Vacant Undeveloped 0.00 0
E Golf Courses, Private Parks 0.0067 0.10
F Parcels with Miscellaneous Structures 0.0033 0.05
(1) All SFRs are levied $9.50 regardless of size.
The calculation of a typical Commercial Charge is as follows:
(BAU) X (Developed Acreage) X (Rate) = Annual Charge

The City has been utilizing the services of GeoSpatial Technologies, Inc. (“GST”) since July 2010. GST Technologies provides mapping services essential for both the Police and Fire Departments. These services significantly enhance operational efficiency, response times, and public safety. GST enables real-time tracking and mapping, providing insight for informed decision-making and strategic resource allocation. This technology assists in improving emergency response times by identifying the quickest routes to incidents, a vital factor in life-saving situations.
Item 1Q - Page 1
City Council Staff Report
February 29, 2024 - Page 2
Software Annual Maintenance Agreement – GeoSpatial Technologies, Inc.
GST can aid in effective planning and analysis, such as mapping potential crime hotspots or fire-prone areas, allowing for proactive resource management. It also enhances interdepartmental coordination, particularly in large-scale operations, ensuring a unified emergency response.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
Staff desires to continue utilizing these services and requests approval for a one-year Software Annual Maintenance Agreement with the option for four additional years. This will lock in pricing for the next five years including technical support, regular software updates, and training program discounts.
GST is a sole source provider of these services which is allowed by Title 7 Section
7.05.020 of the Municipal Code. The current agreement expired on December 14, 2023, however in a show of good faith GST has continued to provide service and support until this renewal is approved. Staff is looking to ratify the agreement for an initial term of December 15, 2023, through December 14, 2024, and the potential to renew the agreement at the same cost until December 14, 2028. If all options are exercised, the total cost will be $95,242.50.
Therefore, staff recommends approval for a one-year software annual maintenance agreement with the option for four additional years with GST in the amount of $19,049 and a maximum amount of $95,242.50 if all options are exercised for public safety mapping services.
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:
The requested action aligns with the City Council Principal, Forward Thinking Governance.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Sufficient funds are budgeted and available in the current fiscal year in Information Technology Department Account 1001025.50034 and will be budgeted in future years.

In this case, GST will dispatch one or more members of its support staff to your site who will attempt to recreate and resolve the problem(s) reported.
During this time it is expected that members of your staff will be available to answer questions and provide information regarding your system, if required. On-site support will be charged at GST per call rates and terms then in effect,.
III. SYSTEM MODIFICATION
(a) GST-generated modifications: Changes or replacement of the computer equipment, operating system and its related software, or other third party software may require GST software support and/or software modification to allow GST products to work with the new equipment, operating system, and/or third party software. These support and/or modification services will be provided by GST at the End User’s request at our then quoted prices.

(b) End User-generated modifications: GST will not be responsible for any damage to your GST software or data caused by upgrades to the operating system or replacement of hardware without GST’s prior written concurrence that said upgrade would function properly. Services required as a result of modifications to GST’s systems made by the End User are not considered normal maintenance and are not provided as part of GST’s Software Maintenance Program. (c) External System Modifications: In the event any external system is modified beyond that anticipated by the terms of the underlying End User License Agreement, the End User shall notify GST of such changes immediately upon receipt of notification from the respective entity/entities and request that GST prepare a proposal to include a time and cost estimate, for the work to be performed which constitutes a change from the originally agreed upon configuration and work description as presented in the underlying End User License Agreement. GST shall, within thirty (30) days after receiving said notice, furnish a written proposal to the End User provided the required modifications are commercially, technically and practically feasible. Upon receipt of GST’s proposal, the End User shall determine whether it desires the work to be performed, and if so shall issue a Notice to Proceed within ten (10) days, at which time GST will perform the necessary modifications for the additional mutually agreed upon compensation.
IV. END USER RESPONSIBILITIES
(a) Software Problems and Reporting: The End User agrees to limit use of GST maintenance service to occasions when GST system software fails to operate in accordance with the product specifications as defined in the original purchase contract. To facilitate the problem solving process, the End User agrees to assist GST in their efforts to duplicate the software problem by providing a written problem report. Additionally, GST may ask that you furnish a listing of software problems rather than calling on each individual item over a short period of time so that our support team can better assist you.
(b) Payment: The End User is responsible for ensuring that all amounts payable under the software annual maintenance program are received by GST on or before the commencement of the maintenance program. The End User’s failure to remit payment to GST for such maintenance services provided or to be provided, after having been notified in writing by GST , shall entitle GST to deny further maintenance services to the End User. (c) Updates: The End User and all users of GST software are responsible for installing all updates to software, hardware, and fixes in a timely manner.
(d) System Administration: The End User is responsible for identifying a System Administrator, as well as a back-up System Administrator, who will function as GST’s primary and secondary contact for any maintenance services to be provided under the software maintenance program. Such System Administrator, or, in the absence of the Systems Administrator, the backup, shall be GST’s sole contact for technical assistance. The System Administrator and backup System Administrator must be trained in the administration of computer hardware, operating system, networking, and database.
GST support staff will assist you in identifying system problems as a function of maintenance support. However, if a problem is identified as a system administration responsibility, further assistance from GST support staff is billed at our then current hourly rates and terms.

VI. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
