4. Supplier Equipment Provided
Trade-In Equipment. Customer warrants that Customer has the right to transfer title to the equipment Customer is trading in as part of an Order ("Trade-In Equipment"), and that the Trade-In Equipment is in good working order and has not been modified from its original configuration (other than by Xerox). Title and risk of loss to the Trade-In Equipment will pass to Xerox when Xerox removes the Trade-In Equipment from Customer‘s premises. Customer will maintain the Trade-In Equipment at its present site and in substantially the Trade-In Equipment’s present condition until removed by Xerox.

find an assignee. Customer’s notice must be accompanied by payment of all sums then owed through the current year under the Contract or any Order, and must certify that canceled Equipment is not being replaced by equipment performing similar functions during the ensuing fiscal year. Customer agrees to release the Equipment to Xerox and, when returned, the Equipment will be in good condition and free of all liens and encumbrances. Customer will then be released from any further payments obligations beyond those payments due for the current fiscal year.
6. Maintenance Services. Except for Equipment and/or Third Party Hardware identified as "No Svc.", Xerox (or a designated servicer) will keep the Equipment and/or Third Party Hardware in good working order (“Maintenance Services”). Maintenance Services are provided as a mandatory part of a Lease or Rental or Maintenance Order.
The service technicians assigned to provide Basic Services will have the expertise, skills, training, and professional education to perform the Basic Services in a professional manner. The provision of Maintenance Services is contingent upon Customer facilitating timely and efficient resolution of Equipment and/or Third Party Hardware issues by: (a) utilizing Customer-implemented remedies provided by Xerox; (b) replacing Cartridges; and (c) providing information to and implementing recommendations provided by Xerox telephone support personnel. If an Equipment and/or Third Party Hardware issue is not resolved after completion of (a) through (c) above, Xerox will provide on-site support as provided herein. Maintenance Services will be provided during Xerox's standard working hours in areas open for repair service for the Equipment and/or Third Party Hardware. Maintenance Services excludes repairs due to: (i) misuse, neglect or abuse; (ii) failure of the installation site or the PC or workstation used with the Equipment and/or Third Party Hardware to comply with Xerox's published specifications or Third Party Hardware vendor’s published specifications, as applicable; (iii) use of options, accessories or products not serviced by Xerox; (iv) nonXerox alterations, relocation, service or supplies; or (v) failure to perform operator maintenance procedures identified in operator manuals. Replacement parts may be new, reprocessed or recovered and all replaced parts become Xerox's property. As your exclusive remedy for Xerox's failure to provide Maintenance Services on the Equipment, Xerox will, for 5 years after the installation date of the initial unit or the initial Term of the Agreement, whichever is longer, replace the Equipment with an identical model or, at Xerox's option, another model with comparable features and capabilities. There will be no additional charge for the replacement Equipment during the remainder of the initial Term. If Xerox is unable to keep a unit of Equipment in good working order after the period noted above, either party may terminate Maintenance Services for that unit without any penalties or early termination charges upon not less than 30 days written notice to the other party. If you do not provide a meter reading for Equipment not capable of Remote Data Access, or if Remote Data Access is interrupted, Xerox may estimate the reading and bill you accordingly. For Third Party Hardware identified as “No Svc.”, you shall enter into a maintenance agreement with the Third Party Hardware vendor or its maintenance service provider, who shall be solely responsible for the quality, timeliness and other terms and conditions of such maintenance services. Xerox shall have no liability for the acts or omissions of such third party service provider.
7. Replacement Parts. Replacement parts may be new, reprocessed or recovered and all replaced parts become Xerox’s property.
8. Installation Site. Customer is responsible for all physical, mechanical, and electrical expenses associated with preparing and maintaining the Equipment installation site, and agrees to give Xerox reasonable access to the Equipment and to provide Xerox adequate storage space for a reasonable quantity of replacement parts and supplies.
9. Cartridges. If Xerox is providing Maintenance Services for Equipment utilizing cartridges designated by Xerox as customer replaceable units, including copy/print cartridges and xerographic modules or fuser modules ("Cartridges"), Customer agree to use only unmodified Cartridges purchased directly from Xerox or its authorized resellers in the U.S. Cartridges packed with Equipment and replacement Cartridges may be new, remanufactured, or reprocessed.
Remanufactured and reprocessed Cartridges meet Xerox's new Cartridge performance standards and contain new and/or reprocessed components. To enhance print quality, Cartridge(s) for many models of Equipment have been designed to cease functioning at a predetermined point. In addition, many Equipment models are designed to function only with Cartridges that are newly manufactured original Xerox Cartridges or with Cartridges intended for use in the U.S.
10. Consumable Supplies Consumable Supplies vary depending upon the Equipment model. If “Consumable Supplies” are included in the Maintenance Plan features, Consumable Supplies ,include: : (i) for black and white Equipment, standard black toner and/or dry ink, black developer, Copy Cartridges, and, if applicable, fuser agent required to make impressions; (ii) for full color Equipment, the items in (i) plus standard cyan, magenta, and yellow toners and dry inks (and their associated developers); and, (iii) for Equipment identified as “Phaser”, only, if applicable, black solid ink, color solid ink, imaging units, waste cartridges, transfer rolls, transfer belts, transfer units, belt cleaner, maintenance kits, print Cartridges, drum Cartridges, waste trays and cleaning kits. Unless otherwise set forth in an Order, Consumable Supplies excludes paper and staples. Consumable Supplies are Xerox's property until used by Customer, and Customer will use Consumable Supplies only with the Equipment for which “Consumable Supplies” is Item 1D - Page 100

Shipping information is available at Xerox.com/GWA. Upon the expiration of this Agreement, Customer will include any unused Consumable Supplies with the Equipment for return to Xerox at the time of removal. If Customer’s use of Consumable Supplies exceeds Xerox's published yield by more than 10%, Xerox will notify Customer of such excess usage. If such excess usage does not cease within 30-days after such notice, Xerox may charge Customer for such excess usage. Upon request, Customer will provide current meter reads and/or an inventory of Consumable Supplies in its possession. Xerox may charge a shipping and handling fee for consumable supplies.
11. Commencement and Installation Dates The initial Term of a Lease, Rental, Maintenance or Services Order that includes Equipment and/or Third Party Hardware will commence on the “Installation Date”, which means: (a) for Equipment installed by Xerox, the date the parties determine the Equipment to be operating satisfactorily and is available for Customer’s use, as demonstrated by successful completion of diagnostic routines; and (b) for Equipment designated as “Customer Installable”, the Equipment delivery date.
12. Replacement. Xerox will, as Customer’s exclusive remedy for Xerox’s failure to provide Maintenance Services, replace the Equipment with an identical model or, at Xerox’s option, another Xerox-branded model with comparable features and capabilities. There will be no additional charge for the replacement Equipment during the remainder of the Equipment’s Agreement Term.
13. End of Service. Xerox has no obligation to maintain or replace Equipment beyond the Equipment’s “End of Service” date for that particular model of Equipment. End of Service means the date announced by Xerox after which Xerox will no longer, offer maintenance services or parts for a particular Equipment model. An End of Service Equipment List is available upon request.
14. Delivery and Removal. Equipment prices include standard delivery charges for all Equipment and, for Equipment for which Xerox retains ownership, standard removal charges.
15. Remote Services.
Certain models of Equipment are supported and serviced using data that is automatically collected by Xerox or transmitted to or from Xerox by Equipment connected to Customer’s network ("Remote Data") via electronic transmission to a secure off-site location ("Remote Data Access"). Remote Data Access also enables Xerox to transmit to Customer Releases for Software and to remotely diagnose and modify Equipment to repair and correct malfunctions Examples of Remote Data include product registration, meter read, supply level, Equipment configuration and settings, software version, and problem/fault code data. Remote Data Access may be used by Xerox for billing, report generation replenishment, support services, recommending additional products and services, and product improvement/development purposes. Remote Data will be transmitted to and from Customer in a secure manner specified by Xerox. Remote Data Access will not allow Xerox to read, view or download any Customer data, documents or other information residing on or passing through the Equipment or Customer’s information management systems. Customer grants the right to Xerox, without charge, to conduct Remote Data Access for the purposes described above. Upon Xerox’s request, Customer will provide contact information for Equipment such as name and address of Customer contact and IP and physical addresses/locations of Equipment.
Customer will enable Remote Data Access via a method prescribed by Xerox, and Customer will provide reasonable assistance to allow Xerox to provide Remote Data Access. Unless Xerox deems Equipment incapable of Remote Data Access, Customer will ensure that Remote Data Access is maintained at all times Services are being performed.
16. Warranty Disclaimer & Waivers. XEROX DISCLAIMS THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF NON-INFRINGEMENT AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
17. Limitation of Liability. Except for personal injury (including death), property damage, or intellectual property indemnity indemnification obligations set forth in the Contract, Xerox will not be liable to Customer for any direct damages relating to the Contract or any Order written hereunder in excess of the sum of the amounts paid and to be paid during the initial Term of the applicable Order. Neither party will be liable to the other for any special, indirect, incidental, consequential or punitive damages arising out of or relating to the Contract or any Order written hereunder, whether the claim alleges tortious conduct (including negligence) or any other legal theory.
18. Amendment. All changes to this Agreement or any Order must be made in a writing signed by both parties.
19. Notices.
A. Unless provided otherwise in this Agreement, notices under this Agreement or any Order must be sent in writing to the party's address at the end of this Agreement. Notices will be deemed given 5 days after mailing by first class mail, 2 days after sending by nationally recognized overnight courier, or on the date of electronic confirmation of receipt of a facsimile transmission, when followed by mailing of such notice as provided herein.

DATE: MAY 23, 2024 CONSENT CALENDAR
SUBJECT: APPROVE AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO AGREEMENT 24I089 WITH SO CAL LAND MAINTENANCE INC., FOR VEGETATION MANAGEMENT
SERVICES
FROM: Scott C. Stiles, City Manager
BY: Paul Alvarado, Fire Chief
SUMMARY:
This action will approve Amendment No. 1 to Agreement 24I089 with So Cal Land Maintenance, Inc. in the amount of $57,720 for a revised contract amount not to exceed $132,720 for vegetation management services.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. In accordance with Section 7.05.060 of the Palm Springs Municipal Code, “Best Interest of City,” approve Amendment No. 1 to Agreement 24I089 (Attachment A) with So Cal Land Maintenance, Inc., to provide vegetation management services for an additional amount of $57,720, for a total revised contract amount not to exceed $132,720 through July 31, 2024;
2. Appropriate $57,720 from Safety Fund 1216010 to Contractual Services;
3. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute all necessary documents.
BUSINESS PRINCIPAL DISCLOSURE:
According to the Public Integrity Disclosure form (Attachment B), So Cal Land Maintenance, Inc., is registered in the state of California.
BACKGROUND:
Vegetation management has proven to be a major factor in reducing the chances of buildings igniting from wildfires and from wildland areas being ignited from burning buildings. The City-owned vacant lots within the very high fire severity zone pose a significant fire risk due to the accumulation of dry vegetation and combustible materials.
With the increasing frequency and severity of wildfires in recent years, proactive Item 1E - Page 1

Amend Vegetation Management Services Contract
measures are essential to minimize the risk of fire ignition and spread within these areas.
Vegetation management is crucial for reducing fuel loads, creating defensible space, and enhancing overall fire resilience.
The Fire Department has drafted a scope of work and is working with Procurement and Contracting to issue an Invitation for Bids (IFB) to retain ongoing annual vegetation management services going forward. In the interim, the Fire Department put a request out to vendors to obtain quotes for service to provide vegetation management services until such a time a long-term contract is in place, and in preparation for fire season.
Following receipt of quotes for service, the City signed a Contract Services Agreement (Attachment C) with So Cal Land Maintenance on May 1, 2024, for an amount not to exceed $75,000 through July 31, 2024, to meet the Fire Departments immediate needs.
On Saturday May 4th, 2024, the City experienced a fire near Tramway Road. Although this specific area is outside of the City’s Very High Fire Severity Zone (VHFSZ), this area has at least one fire a year and depicts the same issues we are addressing through vegetation management services, such as dried brush areas within vacant lots that require clearing to provide a barrier to populated areas and structures within the City.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
The existing Contract Services Agreement provides for two three-person crews to provide vegetation management services from May 1, 2024, through July 31, 2024. Amendment No. 1 will add an additional three-person crew to expedite services prior to the height of summer when services will cease due to fire hazards extrapolated by the use of equipment in extreme heat and dry climates.
Given the immediate needs for these services and in accordance with Section 7.05.060 of the Palm Springs Municipal Code, “Best Interest of City,” staff is requesting approval of Amendment No. 1 in the amount of $57,720 to add sufficient funding to deploy a third crew in an effort to expedite vegetation management services within our VHFSZ, for a total revised contract amount not to exceed $132,720.
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.

Amendment No. 1 to Contract Services Agreement No. 23Q112 with AECOM Technical Services, Inc.
BACKGROUND:
The Airport completed a $32 million ticketing wing expansion project in August 2021, which included renovation and expansion of the ticketing lobby, installation of new ticket counters and flooring, build-out of new Airline Ticketing Offices (ATO’s), and the installation of a new baggage handling system (BHS). At the beginning of the Airport’s peak season, it became apparent to the Airport staff that the new BHS was underperforming and that the new BHS would not be capable of providing the necessary checked bag screening capacity and throughput during the Airport’s peak season.
In May 2022, the Airport hired a third-party consultant, V-1 Consulting, LLC, to collect passenger baggage data from the Airport and the airlines. Based on the data, V-1 Consulting, LLC concluded that the current installed BHS was unable to accommodate growth shortly after being installed at the Airport, and it was determined that further expansion of the BHS would be necessary to keep up with the anticipated growth of the Airport. V-1 Consulting, LLC provided three different concepts to expand the BHS, and the concept that would best accommodate the Airport’s growth was selected.
The Aviation Department worked with the Procurement and Contracting Department to develop a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for the design of this project. The RFQ was advertised in the local newspaper and published on the PlanetBids website. AECOM submitted one of the five statements of qualifications, and the evaluation team, composed of City staff from the Aviation and Engineering Departments, evaluated the statements of qualifications against the published criteria that included the firm’s experience, staff’s experience and understanding of the scope of work.
On June 5, 2023, the City Council approved Contract Services Agreement No. 23Q112 with AECOM Technical Services Inc. for the design of an inline baggage handling system for the Palm Springs International Airport and a notice to proceed with the design was issued.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
In June 2023, the Airport staff and AECOM began working together to design a replacement BHS that would significantly increase checked bag screening capacity and throughput, reduce or eliminate single points of failure, create process, maintenance, and ergonomic efficiencies and improvements, and ensure a fully inline system that would support the Airport’s future growth. It was also required that all design for the BHS project be accomplished in accordance with Transportation Security Administration’s (TSA) Planning Guidelines and Design Standards for Check Baggage Inspection Systems.
Upon completion of the initial 30% design phase, the design documents were submitted to the TSA for approval. On January 24, 2024, TSA provided approval of the initial design for this inline baggage system. On January 25, 2024, the City Council approved Airport Master Plan Terminal Concept 1A for the expansion of existing Airport facilities, and Item 1G - Page 2
City Council Staff Report
May 23, 2024 -- Page 3
Amendment No. 1 to Contract Services Agreement No. 23Q112 with AECOM Technical Services, Inc.
Airport Master Plan Terminal Concept 1A located the concourse near the general area where the new inline baggage system was planned to be located. In order to better align with Airport Master Plan Terminal Concept 1A that was approved by the City Council, the inline baggage handling system initial design that was completed will require a redesign to revise the original design from a standalone building to a large extension of the current terminal building where the baggage handling system is now housed. This change is needed to accommodate the space for the new concourse building and the expanded ticket lobby that will be required under Airport Terminal Concept 1A.
An independent fee estimate (IFE) was prepared by the Airport’s on-call estimating firm to ensure a sound negotiating position for the cost of this amendment. The IFE came in higher than the cost proposal received for this additional work and therefore, AECOM’s proposal was found by staff to be fair and reasonable for the work to be performed.
The approval of Amendment No. 1 to Contract Services Agreement No. 23Q112 with AECOM Technical Services, Inc. will ensure that the design and location of the Baggage Handling System will be compatible with Airport Master Plan Terminal Concept 1A.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) Guidelines Section 15301 “Existing Facilities”, Class 1 projects consist of the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use. Therefore, Staff has determined that the Inline Baggage Handling System Design Services is considered categorically exempt from CEQA.
In addition, in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) Guidelines Section 15302 “Replacement or Reconstruction”, Class 2 projects consist of replacement or reconstruction of existing structures and facilities where the new structure will be located on the same site as the structure replaced and will have substantially the same purpose and capacity as the structure replaced. Therefore, Staff has determined that the Inline Baggage Handling System Design Services, is considered categorically exempt from CEQA.
ALIGNMENT WITH STRATEGIC PLANNING:
Approval of this action supports City Council priority 2A, Improve City Facilities.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Approval of this action includes an appropriation of $125,000 from Airport Capital Project Fund 416 to Airport Account 4167065.80000 for Fiscal Year 2023-24, and $247,711.02 from Airport Capital Project Fund 416 to Airport Account 4167065.80000 for Fiscal Year 2024-25.

Scope
The scope Includes a fully developed design package for the existing facility extension modifications necessary to accommodate the BHS Screening and Sortation system and all its daily operational needs. This includes development and delivery for all DD phases 30%, 70%, 100%, Bid, CA services, TSA Coordination and all other requirements included in the original contract. The location of the new sortation system will be coordinated with the Airports Master Plan and Architectural design teams to maintain necessary ROW and verify facility placement.
Schedule
This modification will require a revision to the BHS delivery dates agreed with TSA. Our current delivery path has achieved PD/SD Approval and was on track for a March 2nd 30% Detailed Design delivery to TSA. We have already formally notified the TSA of this event in our monthly reporting. We have confirmed the previously provided SD design and its status approval will not require any resubmission as the system and its primary components will maintain the previously provided functionality and layout. Completion of the work will add an estimated 67 days to the 30% Delivery Milestone. The revised delivery schedule is attached.
Canopy
The detailing and construction strategies will provide a solution for a normal importance level (risk category II), but its detailing and load paths will provide a resilient design that mitigates local collapse of the structure when subjected to strong earthquakes.
Architectural
1. Development of all Detailed Design and Finishes
2. Coordination with Structural and MEP Disciplines
3. Coordination with BHS
4. IATA, Aviation Compliance
5. Historical Review and Coordination
Structural
1. The system will be designed with a lateral force resisting system adequate to the canopy to meet Building Code requirements.
2. The design will evaluate opportunities to include cost effective, light and sound structural solutions.
3. The BHS location includes a very high seismicity. With this the load paths in the canopy will be carefully studied to have an economical structure that maximize the capacity of its components.
4. As part of the structural design a careful review of the Geotechnical reports, assumptions and recommendations will be performed. The structural design will be coordinated with the Geotechnical recommendations.
5. The structural team will perform a review of the architectural and BHS intent of design to look for opportunities to reduce construction cost.
Item 1G - Page 10
Revised: 10.31.23
6. The canopy BHS system will have the flexibility for the BHS consultant to locate the longitudinal and lateral bracing that will need for seismic design. The design will study the BHS characteristics to anticipate the brace actions into the canopy.
7. The BHS loads will be transferred into a horizontal structural diaphragm that extends to the perimeter columns.
8. The canopy roof will include architectural roof framing to resemble the architectural intent of design proper for the historic buildings in line with the architectural design.
9. The BHS would impose not only horizontal loading but will be prone to vertical seismic loading which will be studied in detail. The vertical accelerations are commonly disregarded in the structural design practice. Due to the BHS equipment and canopy sensitivity to vertical accelerations, the seismic actions in the vertical direction will be carefully studied.
10.The canopy will be coordinated interdisciplinarity with BHS, architectural, MEP and other disciplines to result in a cohesive design that provides solution to the canopy structural needs.
11.Forces due to wind and other hazards will also be studied in detail for the canopy design.
12.A study on the structural integrity due to differential settlements will be performed as part of the structural design which will prepare the structure for an adequate performance during its time in service. The foundation differential settlements are commonly disregarded in the structural design practice.
BHS
1. Relocation and Reorientation of System to New location
2. Turn-Key Design Solution for Sortation to 4 Carousels
3. Development of Cart Staging
4. Development of Impact Protection Design Requirements

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: MAY 23, 2024 CONSENT CALENDAR
SUBJECT: APPROVE AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO CONTRACT SERVICES
AGREEMENT NO. 23B043 WITH WGJ ENTERPRISES, INC. DBA PCI,
FOR AIRFIELD RUBBER AND PAINT REMOVAL SERVICES AT THE
PALM SPRINGS INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
FROM: Scott C. Stiles, City Manager
BY: Department of Aviation
SUMMARY:
This action will approve Amendment No. 1 to Contract Services Agreement No. 23B043 with WGJ Enterprises, Inc. dba PCI (PCI), in the additional amount of $245,000 for a total revised contract amount not to exceed $905,000 for airfield rubber and paint removal services at the Palm Springs International Airport (Airport).
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Approve Amendment No. 1 to Contract Services Agreement No. 23B043 (Attachment A) with WGJ Enterprises, Inc. dba PCI, in the additional amount of $245,000 for a total revised contract amount not to exceed $905,000 for airfield rubber and paint removal services at the Palm Springs International Airport.
2. Appropriate $245,000 from Airport Fund 415 to Airport account 4157030.40105 budget for Fiscal Year 2024-25.
3. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute all necessary documents.
BUSINESS PRINCIPAL DISCLOSURE:
According to the Public Integrity Disclosure form (Attachment B) submitted on May 30, 2023 WGJ Enterprises, Inc. dba PCI, is registered in the state of California.
BACKGROUND:
The Airport has two parallel asphalt paved runways: Runway 13R-31L and Runway 13L31R, and multiple taxiways and ramp areas. As a part of the Airfield Maintenance Program Item 1H - Page 1
City Council Staff Report
May 23, 2024 -- Page 2
Amendment No. 1 to Contract Services Agreement No. 23B043 with WGJ Enterprises, Inc. dba PCI and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requirements, the airfield requires rubber and paint removal and paint application on a reoccurring basis. Rubber buildup from the tires of landing aircraft gradually reduces the friction on runways, and periodically removing the rubber buildup is part of routine maintenance in order to increase the friction on runways for landing aircraft.
Over time, paint on the airfield can become worn out, cracked, or chipped. This can create a rough surface that can damage aircraft tires. Removing and reapplying paint on the airfield can help to maintain a smooth surface, reducing the wear and tear on aircraft tires.
Overall, removing rubber and paint and reapplying paint markings on the airfield is an important maintenance task that ensures safety, compliance, aesthetics, and maintenance of the airport.
The City’s Procurement and Contracting Department initiated an Invitation for Bids (IFB 23-19) on February 1, 2023, following Department of Aviation guidelines. Bids were solicited through the City’s vendor portal, PlanetBids, and advertised in the Desert Sun.
PCI submitted one of the three bids received for the airfield rubber and paint removal services.
On March 23, 2023, the City Council approved Contract Services Agreement No. 23B043 with WGJ Enterprises, Inc. dba PCI, for the airfield rubber and paint removal services for a total contract price of $660,000. This agreement was anticipated to cover the period from April 1, 2023, through March 31, 2026, encompassing rubber and paint removal, paint application, disposal of paint material, and necessary parts and materials needed.
The FAA requires airfield rubber removal services to be completed twice annually and airfield paint removal services to be completed annually. Based on the scope for IFB 23- 19, PCI had estimated that the annual services would require a quantity of 120,000 square feet for rubber removal services, 5,000 square feet for paint removal services, and 100 labor hours for paint application services.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
After further inspection of the Air Operations Area (AOA) (Attachment C), PCI determined that eight layers of rubber had to be removed to be in compliance with FAA regulations, and the amount of paint required to repaint the runway markings would be significantly greater than staff had anticipated. To be in compliance with FAA regulations, the actual first year services required 256,000 square feet of rubber removal services, 16,345 square feet of paint removal services, and 584 labor hours for paint application services. Furthermore, staff intended on using the Airport’s paint truck to apply the runway paint markings, however, the paint truck became inoperable and is unrepairable.
Therefore, staff had to utilize PCI’s services for all needed paint application services which absorbed the entire three-year value.

City Council Staff Report
May 23, 2024 -- Page 3
Amendment No. 1 to Contract Services Agreement No. 23B043 with WGJ Enterprises, Inc. dba PCI Year to date, $658,336 of the contract amount has been utilized. The chart below illustrates the estimated bid amounts versus the actual amounts used to be in FAA compliance.
Description of Services Estimated Bid Amounts Actual Amounts Rubber Removal Services $63,600 $135,680
Paint Removal Services $15,000 $151,452
Paint Application Services $45,000 $262,800
Parts and Materials 15% Mark-Up $103,959
Paint Material Disposal N/A $4,445
Total $123,600 $658,336
The increase requested to the contract amount of $245,000, for a total revised contract amount not to exceed $905,000, is crucial to ensure that the Airport’s runway can be kept in compliance with FAA regulations. This increase will allow Airport staff additional time to collaborate with the Procurement and Contracting Department to facilitate a competitive bidding process for future airfield rubber and paint removal 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. In addition, the action would be categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15301, in that the removal and paint application of new markings is a minor alteration of existing public facilities and will result in a negligible expansion of an existing use.
ALIGNMENT WITH STRATEGIC PLANNING:
Approval of this action supports City Council priority 2 – Community Infrastructure, specifically 2A, Improve City Facilities.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Approval of this action includes an appropriation of $245,000 from the Airport Fund Balance to the Airport Account 4157030.40105 budget in Fiscal Year 2024-25.

SUBJECT: APPROVE CONTRACT SERVICES AGREEMENT NO. 24B092 WITH
UNIVERSAL GREEN LLC FOR LANDSCAPE AND GROUNDS
MAINTENANCE SERVICES – ASSESSMENT DISTRICTS
FROM: Scott C. Stiles, City Manager
BY: David McAbee, Director of Public Works
SUMMARY:
This action will approve Agreement No. 24B092 with Universal Green LLC, in an amount not to exceed $887,055 for landscape and grounds maintenance services for the City’s assessment districts.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Approve Contract Services Agreement 24B092 (Attachment A) with Universal Green LLC, to provide landscape and grounds maintenance services for the assessment districts in an amount not to exceed $887,055, subject to annual price adjustments, for the initial three-year term beginning July 1, 2024, through June 30, 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 April 25, 2024, Universal Green LLC is registered in the state of California.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Palm Springs has historically contracted for landscape and grounds maintenance services since 1995 in an effort to reduce General Fund operating and maintenance costs. The current contract is expiring on June 30, 2024.
The prior contract included landscape and grounds maintenance services of assessment districts, medians and parkways, and City parks for a cumulative amount of Item 1I - Page 1
City Council Staff Report
May 23, 2024 -- Page 2
Award Landscape & Grounds Maintenance Services-Assessment Districts Contract $7,154,335.10 over the six-year term. The current cost for maintenance of assessment districts is $591,306.38.
In addition to the ongoing maintenance agreement, the City may at times request quotes for services following storm events that have resulted in damage to assessment district landscaping and irrigation systems. Those services have historically been handled as amendments to the service agreement or issued under a separate agreement with another vendor. This Invitation for Bid included pricing for additional services and materials within the total bid price to address these types of one-time costs, in an effort to expedite repair services, beyond regular maintenance.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
An Invitation for Bids (IFB 24-05) was initiated by the City’s Procurement and Contracting Department on March 21, 2024, 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. Three bids were received by the April 25, 2024, deadline as follows:
Vendor Bid
Universal Green LLC – Desert Hot Springs, CA $887,055.00 Mariposa Landscapes, Inc. – Irwindale, CA $1,050,138.00 J. Orozco Enterprises, Inc. dba Orozco Landscape and Tree Co. – Pomona, CA
$1,627,204.38
The unit pricing is fixed for the first year and subject to a blended rate increase in the following years. Staff recommends approval of Contract Services Agreement No. 24B092 with Universal Green LLC for the initial three-year term in the amount not to exceed $887,055 effective July 1, 2024, through June 30, 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.
ALIGNMENT WITH STRATEGIC PLANNING:
Approval of this action supports City Council priority 2, Community Infrastructure.
