Item 1F - Page 1
City Council Staff Report
November 21, 2024 -- Page 2
Award On-Call Painting & Wallcovering Services Contracts BACKGROUND:

The City of Palm Springs requires the services of a contractor to provide on-call painting and wallcovering services at various City of Palm Springs Buildings and Facilities. Due to the success of the initial on-call contract, awarded in 2022, staff has pursued and is recommending approval of two contract services agreements to address the current and expanding needs.

STAFF ANALYSIS:

The contracts with Vivid-Accent Painting Co. and United Paint & Coatings Co. are on-call, as-needed type contracts. 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 contracts are based on the budgeted amount set by the Department and will therefore not match the bid amounts.

An Invitation for Bids (IFB 24-36) was initiated by the City’s Procurement and Contracting Department on September 30, 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. Seven bids were received by the October 29, 2024, deadline as follows:

Vendor Bid
Vivid-Accent Painting Co. – Watsonville, CA $585,279.00 United Paint & Coatings Co. – Coachella, CA $827,714.80 Tony Paining – Garden Grove, CA $907,980.00
Optimus Construction & Painting, Inc. – Lancaster, CA $924,250.00 Ewing Painting Inc. – Beaumont, CA $954,260.00
PUB Construction, Inc. – Diamond Bar, CA $1,362,310.64
Color New Co. – Woodland Hills, CA $1,552,720.00
The departments intent for this solicitation was to award two contracts to the two lowest responsive, responsible bidders. Vivid-Accent Painting Co. will be the primary contract and United Paint & Coatings Co. will be the secondary. The department will reach out to the primary contract holder first and if they are unable to perform the work, the department will reach out to the secondary contract holder.

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. 24B289 with VividAccent Painting Co. for the initial three-year term in the amount not to exceed $630,000 as the primary, effective December 1, 2024 through November 30, 2027, subject to two one-year optional renewals at the sole discretion of the City, and Contract Services Agreement No. 24B290 with United Paint & Coatings Co. for the initial three-year term in the amount not to exceed $420,000 as the secondary, effective December 1, 2024 Item 1F - Page 2

Award On-Call Painting & Wallcovering Services Contracts through November 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 2A, Community Infrastructure.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Sufficient funds are available in Fiscal Year 2024-25 Facilities Maintenance accounts 5206570-40105 and 5206570-50119.

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.

Coverage shall be provided by insurers admitted in the State of California with an A.M. Best’s Key Rating of B++, Class VII, or better, unless otherwise acceptable to the City.

6. Verification of Coverage. Contractor shall furnish City with both certificates of insurance and endorsements, including additional insured endorsements, effecting all of the coverages required by this Agreement. The certificates and endorsements are to be signed by a person authorized by that insurer to bind coverage on its behalf. All proof of insurance is to be received and approved by the City before work commences. City reserves the right to require Contractor’s insurers to provide complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies at any time.

Additional insured endorsements are not required for Errors and Omissions and Workers’ Compensation policies.

Verification of Insurance coverage may be provided by: (1) an approved General and/or Auto Liability Endorsement Form for the City of Palm Springs or (2) an acceptable Certificate of Liability Insurance Coverage with an approved Additional Insured Endorsement with the following endorsements stated on the certificate:

A. "The City of Palm Springs, its officials, employees, and agents are named as an additional insured…” ("as respects City of Palm Springs Contract No.___" or "for any and all work performed with the City" may be included in this statement).

B. "This insurance is primary and non-contributory over any insurance or self-insurance the City may have..." ("as respects City of Palm Springs Contract No.___" or "for any and all work performed with the City" may be included in this statement).

C. "Should any of the above described policies be canceled before the expiration date thereof, the issuing company will mail 30 days written notice to the Certificate Holder named." Language such as, “endeavor to” mail and "but failure to mail such notice shall impose no obligation or liability of any kind upon the company, its agents or representative" is not acceptable and must be crossed out.

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. Failure to obtain the required documents prior to the commencement of work shall not waive the Contractor’s obligation to provide them.

7. Deductibles and Self-Insured Retentions. Any deductibles or self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by the City prior to commencing any work or services under Item 1F - Page 45

Page 20 of 21 ends

this Agreement. 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 self-insured retention under the policy. Contractor guarantees payment of all deductibles and self-insured retentions.

8. Severability of Interests (Separation of Insureds). This insurance applies separately to each insured against whom claim is made or suit is brought except with respect to the limits of the insurer’s liability.

SUBJECT: APPROVE CONTRACT CHANGE ORDER NO. 7 WITH STEVE P.

RADOS, INC. IN THE AMOUNT OF $259,888.75 FOR THE
WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT (WWTP) DIGESTER NO. 2 GAS
FLARE AND FILTRATE PUMP STATION, CITY PROJECTS 20-25 AND 21-07
FROM: Scott C. Stiles, City Manager
BY: Engineering Services Department
SUMMARY:

This is a request to approve Contract Change Order No. 7 in the amount of $259,888.75 for material substitution for the waste gas flare. This change order addresses the cost to substitute the waste gas flare stack material of carbon steel with stainless steel. The City’s design consultant has reviewed and recommends approval of the change order.

RECOMMENDATION:

1. Approve Contract Change Order No. 7 in the amount of $259,888.75 to Agreement A9317 with Steve P. Rados for the WWTP Digester No. 2 Waste Gas Flare and Filtrate Pump Station, City Projects No. 20-25 and 21-07 (Project);

2. Appropriate $259,888.75 from the Wastewater Fund balance; and

3. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute all necessary documents.

BUSINESS PRINCIPAL DISCLOSURE:

Public Integrity Disclosure form from Steve P. Rados, Inc. is included as Attachment A.

BACKGROUND:

On May 12, 2022, the City Council awarded a construction contract to Steve P. Rados, Inc. in the amount of $15,905,500 for the WWTP Digester No. 2 Waste Gas Flare and Filtrate Pump Station Projects. The initial scope of work included replacing Digester Item 1FF - Page 1

Approve CCO No. 7 CP 20-25 and 21-07
No. 2, construction of a new gas holder, replacement of the existing waste gas flare and replacement of the Filtrate Pump Station and Filtrate Pump Station forcemain.

On July 21, 2022 construction of the Project commenced. Since then, there have been six contract change orders approved for the following reasons:
1) Contract Change Order No. 1 ($19,325) – The Contractor submitted to Southern California Air Quality Management District (AQMD) an application for a permit to install the new waste gas flare, digester and gas holding tank. AQMD requested the permit to be submitted under the City’s General AQMD permit which resulted in increased permit fees.
2) Contract Change Order No. 2 ($9,654) – There were two palm trees in conflict with the proposed filtrate pump station of the Project. The Contractor relocated the two palm trees to address the conflict.
3) Contract Change Order No. 3 ($34,282) – During the asbestos survey of Digester No. 2, it was discovered that the tank was coated with Belzona. It was determined that asbestos abatement was required for removal of Belzona. 4) Contract Change Order No. 4 ($67,144) – It was discovered that several utility conflicts above and below ground conflicted with the duct bank and underground conduit plan.
5) Contract Change Order No. 5 ($248,288.76) – It was discovered that additional cable and conduits were needed for the gas holder, additional keyways for the digester tank foundation, and unforeseen utilities conflicts. 6) Contract Change Order No. 6 ($1,071,999.85) – AQMD passed Rule 431.1 which lowered emissions levels of sulfur. To meet the requirements, a Ferric Chloride Dosing System was installed to reduce sulfur emissions.

STAFF ANALYSIS:

Staff reviewed the proposed change order and coordinated with the design team to ensure the changes were required. Staff is recommending approval of Contract Change Order No. 7. A copy of the change order is included as Attachment B.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:

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 City of Palm Springs Wastewater Treatment Plant Digester No. 2, Gas Flare and Filtrate Pump Station Improvement Project, City Projects No. 20-25 and 21-07, are considered categorically exempt from CEQA.

Reference: City of Palm Springs - Contract No. 20-25 AND 21-07 WWTP Digester No.2, Waste Gas Flare, and Filtrate Pump Station Improvements Project

Subject: COR 01 – John Zink Gas Flare Material Change.

Dear Mr. Dietrick,
I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to formally request a change order for the WWTP Digester No. 2 (Contract 20-25 and 21-07) currently underway, specifically concerning the material specification conflicts for the gas flare.

The specifications have conflicting requirements regarding the material to be used for the gas flare (pages 6 and 7 of specification 11382). Our bid quote and Purchase Agreement (PA) with John Zink (JZ) were for Carbon Steel construction per spec 11382 I.1. John Zink was essentially a sole-source vendor, as Stantec and the City elected to use John Zink product data and flare design information for the SCAQMD Gas Flare permit application submitted to SCAQMD prior to the bid date for the project.

John Zink provided a letter of recommendation to use carbon steel (see RFI 40). However, stainless steel was insisted to be used. Reference RFI’s 040 and 042.

Attached, please find the cost proposal for the material change. Given these circumstances, SPR kindly reserves our right to time related to submittal revisions driven by this change and procurement impact.

We appreciate your attention to this matter and are available to discuss the details further at your earliest convenience.

Please let us know if additional information or documentation is required to process this change order request. SPR is requesting a Change Order in the total amount of $259,888.75.

Thank you for your cooperation and prompt attention to this request Sincerely,
Steve P. Rados, Inc.

Question Question from Jason Riedel Steve P. Rados, Inc on Monday, Feb 27, 2023 at 04:36 PM PST Please see attached letter of recommendation from John Zink (JZ) in regards to the material to be used for the Gas Flare Stack.  JZ developed their list of materials from the specs and referred to spec 11382 I.1 for the material required for the Flare Stack.  ¼” Carbon Steel is required per this spec section and JZ has used it in many biogas systems up to 30,000 ppm H2S.

SPR is requesting a serious review and consideration to proceed with Carbon Steel per the Manufacturers recommendation and the materials proven resilience and longevity.  As JZ mentions, to proceed with SST would prolong the procurement and fabrication time as well.  In addition, 304 SST can be susceptible to sulfur dioxide corrosion.  JZ has provided a C.O. requesting $238,500 to proceed with 304 SST if required.  If a meeting or any further information from JZ would be helpful to make a determination we can facilitate that as soon as possible.  Please advise.

DATE: February 23, 2023
TO: City of Palm Springs, CA
REFERENCE: John Zink SO# F00001832 - Enclosed Flare Materials of Construction

To Whom It May Concern:

The following is an explanation of the material selections used in the enclosed flare that John Zink Company, LLC is supplying for the Palm Springs Wastewater Treatment Plant.

The waste gas in this system contains up to 8,600 ppm of hydrogen sulfide (H2S), a compound that is corrosive to carbon steel surfaces. The waste gas manifold, where the biogas containing unoxidized H2S is delivered to the burners from the field piping, is quoted as 304 stainless steel. Wetted components upstream of the flare (flame arrester, block valve, etc.,) have also had material selections to increase resilience against H2S corrosion.

At minimum, 98% of H2S that enters the manifold to the flare will be fully combusted and oxidized at the burner tips, having contacted nothing but stainless steel prior to that point. In a combustion reaction, hydrogen sulfide is oxidized to sulfur dioxide (SO2), a compound that is less reactive with steel surfaces than H2S. Under normal operations, the carbon steel portions of the flare will not contact any H2S, because it has been destroyed by the flare itself.

To provide additional protection against sulfur corrosion, the interior surface of the flare stack is currently intended to be covered with one layer of a mastic coating, which is specifically designed to protect surfaces from corrosive constituents in gas streams. This method of protecting the stack is more economical and quicker to fabricate than making the full stack out of 304 stainless steel, which itself still can be susceptible to sulfur dioxide attack. We have utilized this method in biogas systems with up to 30,000 ppm H2S, and the systems have proven resilient and long-lived.

I am happy to address any remaining questions surrounding our design choices on this system. Please do not hesitate to reach out if needed.

City Council Staff Report

Award Auto Body Repair Services Contracts
BACKGROUND:

The City of Palm Springs requires the services of a contractor to provide on-call auto body repair work for its Fleet Operations division. Due to the extent of services needed and in order to make necessary repairs to the existing and expanding fleet, staff opted to resolicit bids prior to the conclusion of the current contract, as all available contract funds will be expended prior to the expiration date.

Due to the success of the initial on-call contract awarded in 2022, staff has pursued and is recommending approval of two contract services agreements to address the current and expanding fleet.

STAFF ANALYSIS:

The service contracts with Cat City Auto Body, Inc. and Marvin’s Auto Paint Inc. are oncall, as-needed type contracts. The bids were used to determine the lowest, responsive, responsible bidders and to set the unit rates for the contracts; however, the actual amount of the contracts is based on the budgeted amount set by the Department and will therefore not match the bid amounts.

An Invitation for Bids (IFB 24-23) was initiated by the City’s Procurement and Contracting Department on July 29, 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. Four bids were received by the September 3, 2024, deadline as follows:

Vendor Bid
Cat City Auto Body, Inc. – Cathedral City, CA $643,000.00 Marvin’s Auto Paint, Inc. – Palm Springs, CA $659,500.00 J & L Auto Body, Inc. – West Covina, CA $659,500.00
Fiesta Ford – Indio, CA $786,000.00
The Department recommends award of contracts to the two lowest responsive, responsible bidders. Cat City Auto Body, Inc. will be the primary contract and Marvin’s Auto Paint, Inc. will be the secondary. Although the second and third bidders were tied, the City’s local preference ordinance requires award in a tie situation to the local vendor.

The Department will reach out to the primary contract holder first to perform the work needed. If the primary Contractor is unable to perform the work due to schedule constraints, the Department will reach out to the secondary contract holder to perform the work.

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. 24B235 with Cat City Auto Body Inc. for the initial three-year term in the amount not to exceed $722,050 as the primary contract, effective November 25, 2024 through November 24, 2027, subject to Item 1G - Page 2

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:

The requested City Council action is not a “Project” as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

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.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Sufficient funds are available in Fiscal Year 2024-25 Fleet account 5106560-40105.

4.3 Force Majeure. The time for performance of Services to be rendered under this Agreement may be extended because of any delays due to a Force Majeure Event, if Contractor notifies the Contract Officer within ten (10) days of the commencement of the Force Majeure Event. A Force Majeure Event shall mean an event that materially affects the Contractor’s performance and is one or more of the following: (1) Acts of God or other natural disasters occurring at the project site; (2) terrorism or other acts of a public enemy; (3) orders of governmental authorities (including, without limitation, unreasonable and unforeseeable delay in the issuance of permits or approvals by governmental authorities that are required for the Work); and (4) pandemics, epidemics or quarantine restrictions. For purposes of this section, “orders of governmental authorities,” includes ordinances, emergency proclamations and orders, rules to protect the public health, welfare and safety, and other actions of the City in its capacity as a municipal authority.

The Contract Officer’s determination shall be final and conclusive upon the Parties to this Agreement. The Contractor will not receive an adjustment to the contract price or any other compensation.

A.

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.

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.

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 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).

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.

The certificates and endorsements are to be signed by a person authorized by that insurer to bind coverage on its behalf. All proof of insurance is to be received and approved by the City before work commences.

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.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: NOVEMBER 21, 2024 CONSENT CALENDAR
SUBJECT: APPROVE AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO AGREEMENT 23I309 WITH INSIGHT PUBLIC SECTOR, INC. FOR EMAIL PROTECTION SERVICES
FROM: Scott C. Stiles, City Manager
BY: Information Technology Department
SUMMARY:

This action will approve Amendment No. 1 to Agreement No. 23I309 with Insight Public Sector, Inc. to provide three-years of email protection services at a cost of $100,272.

RECOMMENDATION:

1. Approve Amendment No. 1 to Agreement No. 23I309 with Insight Public Sector, Inc. to provide three years of email protection services using Omnia Partners cooperative purchasing agreement #23-6692-03 with a total cost of $100,272 bringing the cumulative total spend to $121,850. (Attachment A)

2. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute all necessary documents.

BUSINESS PRINCIPAL DISCLOSURE:

Insight Public Sector, Inc. is a publicly traded company on the NASDAQ. A listing of all the SEC filings can be found here https://investor.insight.com/financial-reports/secfilings/default.aspx. A signed Public Integrity Disclosure is included as Attachment B.

BACKGROUND:

Over the last few years, the City has continually improved its cybersecurity posture by implementing new systems to protect information resources. A solid email protection system is vital to protect the City from unwanted viruses, malware, SPAM, Phishing, and other threats that arrive through email. In 2023 staff acquired and implemented a solution with a one-year license to achieve greater protections. Since turning on the system, staff have seen a remarkable decrease in SPAM emails, and incoming threats have been eliminated before reaching City systems.

City Council Staff Report
November 21, 2024 – Page 2
Email protection services – Insight Public Sector, Inc.

STAFF ANALYSIS:

Staff is satisfied with the performance of the solution and desires to enter a multi-year agreement to continue protecting City systems.

This purchase requires City Council approval in accordance with Municipal Code Title 7 adopted by Ordinance in July of 2021, which predicates approval levels based upon the cumulative value of contracts and continuous purchases of the same goods or services.

Since 2023, the City has spent approximately $21,578 for the solution and this agreement brings the total to $121,850. Staff recommends approving Amendment No. 1 to Agreement No. 23I309 with Insight to provide three-years of service.

Due to the security sensitive nature of the services being purchased and as per California Government Code § 7929.210, the product numbers and names from the quote are redacted.

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 fiscal years.
