APPLICABILITY – This provision is required for contracts as follows:
Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act Requirements (CWHSSA) (40 USC §§ 3702 & 3704) requires contractors and subcontractors on covered contracts to pay laborers and mechanics employed in the performance of the contracts not less than one and one-half times their basic rate of pay for all hours worked over 40 in a workweek. CWHSSA prohibits unsanitary, hazardous, or dangerous working conditions on federally-assisted projects. The Wage and Hour Division (WHD) within the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) enforces the compensation requirements of this Act, while DOL’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) enforces the safety and health requirements.
Contract Types –
Construction – This provision applies to all contracts and lower tier contracts that exceed $100,000, and employ laborers, mechanics, watchmen, and guards.
Equipment – This provision applies to any equipment project exceeding $100,000 that involves installation of equipment onsite (e.g., electrical vault equipment). This provision does not apply to equipment acquisition projects where the manufacture of the equipment takes place offsite at the vendor plant (e.g., ARFF and SRE vehicles).
Professional Services – This provision applies to professional service agreements that exceed $100,000 and employs laborers, mechanics, watchmen, and guards. This includes members of survey crews and exploratory drilling operations.
Property – While most land transactions do not involve employment of laborers, mechanics, watchmen, and guards, under certain circumstances, a property acquisition project could require such employment. Examples include the installation of property fencing or testing for environmental contamination
CONTRACT WORKHOURS AND SAFETY STANDARDS ACT REQUIREMENTS
1. Overtime Requirements.
No contractor or subcontractor contracting for any part of the contract work which may require or involve the employment of laborers or mechanics shall require or permit any such laborer or mechanic, including watchmen and guards, in any workweek in which he or she is employed on such work to work in excess of forty hours in such workweek unless such laborer or mechanic receives compensation at a rate not less than one and one-half times the basic rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of forty hours in such workweek.
2. Violation; Liability for Unpaid Wages; Liquidated Damages.
In the event of any violation of the clause set forth in paragraph (1) of this clause, the Contractor and any subcontractor responsible therefor shall be liable for the unpaid wages. In addition, such contractor and subcontractor shall be liable to the United States (in the case of work done under contract for the District of Columbia or a territory, to such District or to such territory), for liquidated damages. Such liquidated damages shall be computed with respect to each individual laborer or mechanic, including watchmen and guards, employed in violation of the clause set forth in paragraph (1) of this clause, in the sum of $29 for each calendar day on which such individual was required or permitted to work in excess of the standard workweek of forty hours without payment of the overtime wages required by the clause set forth in paragraph (1) of this clause.

FAA – 08 Copeland Anti-Kickback
APPLICABILITY -
The Copeland (Anti-Kickback) Act (18 USC § 874 and 40 USC § 3145) makes it unlawful to induce by force, intimidation, threat of dismissal from employment, or by any other manner, any person employed in the construction or repair of public buildings or public works, financed in whole or in part by the United States, to give up any part of the compensation to which that person is entitled under a contract of employment. The Copeland Act also requires each contractor and subcontractor to furnish weekly a statement of compliance with respect to the wages paid each employee during the preceding week.
Contract Types –
Construction – This provision applies to all construction contracts and subcontracts financed under the AIP that exceed $2,000.
Equipment – This provision applies to all equipment installation projects (e.g., electrical vault improvements) financed under the AIP that exceed $2,000. This provision does not apply to equipment acquisitions where the equipment is manufactured at the vendor’s plant (e.g., SRE and ARFF vehicles).
Professional Services –The emergence of different project delivery methods has created situations where Professional Service Agreements (PSAs) include tasks that meet the definition of construction, alteration, or repair as defined in 29 CFR Part 5. If such tasks result in work that qualifies as construction, alteration, or repair and it exceeds $2,000, the PSA must incorporate the Copeland Anti-kickback provision.
Property –Ordinarily, land acquisition projects would not involve employment of laborers or mechanics and thus the Copeland Anti-Kickback provision would not apply. However, land projects that involve installation of boundary fencing and demolition of structures would involve laborers and mechanics. The City must include this provision if the land acquisition project involves employment of laborers or mechanics for a contract exceeding $2,000.
REQUIREMENT -
Contractor must comply with the requirements of the Copeland “Anti-Kickback” Act (18 USC 874 and 40 USC 3145), as supplemented by Department of Labor regulation 29 CFR part
3. Contractor and subcontractors are prohibited from inducing, by any means, any person employed on the project to give up any part of the compensation to which the employee is entitled. The Contractor and each Subcontractor must submit to the City, a weekly statement on the wages paid to each employee performing on covered work during the prior week. City must report any violations of the Act to the Federal Aviation Administration.

FAA – 09 Davis Bacon Requirements
APPLICABILITY -
The Davis-Bacon Act (40 USC §§ 3141-3144, 3146, and 3147) ensures that laborers and mechanics employed under the contract receive pay no less than the locally prevailing wages and fringe benefits as determined by the Department of Labor.
Contract Types –
Construction –all construction contracts and subcontracts that exceed $2,000 and include funding from the AIP.
Equipment – This provision applies to all equipment installation projects (e.g., electrical vault improvements) financed under the AIP that exceed $ 2,000. This provision does not apply to equipment acquisitions where the equipment is manufactured at the vendor’s plant (e.g., SRE and ARFF vehicles)
Professional Services – The emergence of different project delivery methods has created situations where Professional Service Agreements (PSAs) includes tasks that meet the definition of construction, alteration, or repair as defined in 29 CFR Part 5. If such tasks result in work that qualifies as construction, alteration, or repair and it exceeds $2,000, the PSA must incorporate this clause.
Property – Ordinarily, land acquisition projects would not involve employment of laborers or mechanics and thus the provision would not apply. However, land projects that involve installation of boundary fencing and demolition of structures would involve laborers and mechanics. The City must include this provision if the land acquisition project involves employment of laborers or mechanics for a contract exceeding $2,000.
Fencing Projects – Fencing projects that exceed $2,000 must include this provision.
DAVIS-BACON REQUIREMENTS
1. Minimum Wages.
(i) All laborers and mechanics employed or working upon the site of the work will be paid unconditionally and not less often than once a week, and without subsequent deduction or rebate on any account (except such payroll deductions as are permitted by the Secretary of Labor under the Copeland Act (29 CFR Part 3)), the full amount of wages and bona fide fringe benefits (or cash equivalent thereof) due at time of payment computed at rates not less than those contained in the wage determination of the Secretary of Labor which is attached hereto and made a part hereof, regardless of any contractual relationship which may be alleged to exist between the Contractor and such laborers and mechanics.
Contributions made or costs reasonably anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits under section 1(b)(2) of the Davis-Bacon Act on behalf of laborers or mechanics are considered wages paid to such laborers or mechanics, subject to the provisions of paragraph (1)(iv) of this section; also, regular contributions made or costs incurred for more than a weekly period (but not less often than quarterly) under plans, funds, or programs which cover the particular weekly period, are deemed to be constructively made or incurred during such weekly period.
Such laborers and mechanics shall be paid the appropriate wage rate and fringe benefits
F – Page 192 of 1320
55575.18100\42920836.2
Revised 8.9.23
on the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed, without regard to skill, except as provided in 29 CFR § 5.5(a)(4). Laborers or mechanics performing work in more than one classification may be compensated at the rate specified for each classification for the time actually worked therein: Provided, that the employer’s payroll records accurately set forth the time spent in each classification in which work is performed.
The wage determination (including any additional classification and wage rates conformed under (1)(ii) of this section) and the Davis-Bacon poster (WH-1321) shall be posted at all times by the Contractor and its subcontractors at the site of the work in a prominent and accessible place where it can easily be seen by the workers. (ii)(A) The contracting officer shall require that any class of laborers or mechanics, including helpers, which is not listed in the wage determination and which is to be employed under the contract shall be classified in conformance with the wage determination. The contracting officer shall approve an additional classification and wage rate and fringe benefits therefore only when the following criteria have been met:
(1) The work to be performed by the classification requested is not performed by a classification in the wage determination;
(2) The classification is utilized in the area by the construction industry; and (3) The proposed wage rate, including any bona fide fringe benefits, bears a reasonable relationship to the wage rates contained in the wage determination. (B) If the Contractor and the laborers and mechanics to be employed in the classification (if known), or their representatives, and the contracting officer agree on the classification and wage rate (including the amount designated for fringe benefits where appropriate), a report of the action taken shall be sent by the contracting officer to the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division, U.S. Department of Labor, Washington, DC 20210. The Administrator, or an authorized representative, will approve, modify, or disapprove every additional classification action within 30 days of receipt and so advise the contracting officer or will notify the contracting officer within the 30-day period that additional time is necessary. (C) In the event the Contractor, the laborers, or mechanics to be employed in the classification, or their representatives, and the contracting officer do not agree on the proposed classification and wage rate (including the amount designated for fringe benefits, where appropriate), the contracting officer shall refer the questions, including the views of all interested parties and the recommendation of the contracting officer, to the Administrator for determination. The Administrator, or an authorized representative, will issue a determination within 30 days of receipt and so advise the contracting officer or will notify the contracting officer within the 30-day period that additional time is necessary. (D) The wage rate (including fringe benefits where appropriate) determined pursuant to subparagraphs (1)(ii) (B) or (C) of this paragraph, shall be paid to all workers performing work in the classification under this contract from the first day on which work is performed in the classification.
(iii) Whenever the minimum wage rate prescribed in the contract for a class of laborers or mechanics includes a fringe benefit which is not expressed as an hourly rate, the contractor
F – Page 193 of 1320
55575.18100\42920836.2
Revised 8.9.23
shall either pay the benefit as stated in the wage determination or shall pay another bona fide fringe benefit or an hourly cash equivalent thereof. (iv) If the Contractor does not make payments to a trustee or other third person, the Contractor may consider as part of the wages of any laborer or mechanic the amount of any costs reasonably anticipated in providing bona fide fringe benefits under a plan or program, Provided, that the Secretary of Labor has found, upon the written request of the Contractor, that the applicable standards of the Davis-Bacon Act have been met. The Secretary of Labor may require the Contractor to set aside in a separate account assets for the meeting of obligations under the plan or program.
2. Withholding. The Federal Aviation Administration or the City shall upon its own action or upon written request of an authorized representative of the Department of Labor withhold or cause to be withheld from the Contractor under this contract or any other Federal contract with the same prime contractor, or any other federally-assisted contract subject to DavisBacon prevailing wage requirements, which is held by the same prime contractor, so much of the accrued payments or advances as may be considered necessary to pay laborers and mechanics, including apprentices, trainees, and helpers, employed by the Contractor or any subcontractor the full amount of wages required by the contract. In the event of failure to pay any laborer or mechanic, including any apprentice, trainee, or helper, employed or working on the site of the work, all or part of the wages required by the contract, the Federal Aviation Administration may, after written notice to the Contractor, City, Applicant, or Owner, take such action as may be necessary to cause the suspension of any further payment, advance, or guarantee of funds until such violations have ceased.
3. Payrolls and Basic Records.
(i) Payrolls and basic records relating thereto shall be maintained by the Contractor during the course of the work and preserved for a period of three years thereafter for all laborers and mechanics working at the site of the work. Such records shall contain the name, address, and social security number of each such worker; his or her correct classification; hourly rates of wages paid (including rates of contributions or costs anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits or cash equivalents thereof of the types described in 1(b)(2)(B) of the DavisBacon Act); daily and weekly number of hours worked; deductions made; and actual wages paid. Whenever the Secretary of Labor has found under 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1)(iv) that the wages of any laborer or mechanic include the amount of any costs reasonably anticipated in providing benefits under a plan or program described in section 1(b)(2)(B) of the DavisBacon Act, the Contractor shall maintain records that show that the commitment to provide such benefits is enforceable, that the plan or program is financially responsible, and that the plan or program has been communicated in writing to the laborers or mechanics affected, and records which show the costs anticipated or the actual costs incurred in providing such benefits. Contractors employing apprentices or trainees under approved programs shall maintain written evidence of the registration of apprenticeship programs and certification of trainee programs, the registration of the apprentices and trainees, and the ratios and wage rates prescribed in the applicable programs.
(ii)(A) The Contractor shall submit weekly for each week in which any contract work is performed a copy of all payrolls to the Federal Aviation Administration if the agency is a party to the contract, but if the agency is not such a party, the Contractor will submit the
F – Page 194 of 1320
55575.18100\42920836.2
Revised 8.9.23
payrolls to the applicant, the City, or Owner, as the case may be, for transmission to the Federal Aviation Administration. The payrolls submitted shall set out accurately and completely all of the information required to be maintained under 29 CFR § 5.5(a)(3)(i), except that full social security numbers and home addresses shall not be included on weekly transmittals. Instead the payrolls shall only need to include an individually identifying number for each employee (e.g., the last four digits of the employee’s social security number). The required weekly payroll information may be submitted in any form desired. Optional Form WH–347 is available for this purpose from the Wage and Hour Division Web site at https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/government-contracts/construction/payroll-certification or its successor site. The prime contractor is responsible for the submission of copies of payrolls by all subcontractors. Contractors and subcontractors shall maintain the full social security number and current address of each covered worker and shall provide them upon request to the Federal Aviation Administration if the agency is a party to the contract, but if the agency is not such a party, the Contractor will submit them to the applicant, the City, or Owner, as the case may be, for transmission to the Federal Aviation Administration, the Contractor, or the Wage and Hour Division of the Department of Labor for purposes of an investigation or audit of compliance with prevailing wage requirements. It is not a violation of this section for a prime contractor to require a subcontractor to provide addresses and social security numbers to the prime contractor for its own records, without weekly submission to the sponsoring government agency (or the applicant, City, or Owner). (B) Each payroll submitted shall be accompanied by a "Statement of Compliance," signed by the Contractor or subcontractor or his or her agent who pays or supervises the payment of the persons employed under the contract and shall certify the following:
(1) That the payroll for the payroll period contains the information required to be provided under 29 CFR § 5.5(a)(3)(ii), the appropriate information is being maintained under 29 CFR § 5.5 (a)(3)(i), and that such information is correct and complete; (2) That each laborer and mechanic (including each helper, apprentice, and trainee) employed on the contract during the payroll period has been paid the full weekly wages earned, without rebate, either directly or indirectly, and that no deductions have been made either directly or indirectly from the full wages earned, other than permissible deductions as set forth in Regulations, 29 CFR Part 3;
(3) That each laborer or mechanic has been paid not less than the applicable wage rates and fringe benefits or cash equivalents for the classification of work performed, as specified in the applicable wage determination incorporated into the contract. (C) The weekly submission of a properly executed certification set forth on the reverse side of Optional Form WH-347 shall satisfy the requirement for submission of the “Statement of Compliance” required by paragraph (3)(ii)(B) of this section. (D) The falsification of any of the above certifications may subject the Contractor or subcontractor to civil or criminal prosecution under Section 1001 of Title 18 and Section 231 of Title 31 of the United States Code.
(iii) The Contractor or subcontractor shall make the records required under paragraph (3)(i) of this section available for inspection, copying, or transcription by authorized representatives of the City, the Federal Aviation Administration, or the Department of Labor
F – Page 195 of 1320
55575.18100\42920836.2
Revised 8.9.23
and shall permit such representatives to interview employees during working hours on the job. If the Contractor or subcontractor fails to submit the required records or to make them available, the Federal agency may, after written notice to the Contractor, the City, applicant, or Owner, take such action as may be necessary to cause the suspension of any further payment, advance, or guarantee of funds. Furthermore, failure to submit the required records upon request or to make such records available may be grounds for debarment action pursuant to 29 CFR § 5.12.
4. Apprentices and Trainees.
(i) Apprentices. Apprentices will be permitted to work at less than the predetermined rate for the work they performed when they are employed pursuant to and individually registered in a bona fide apprenticeship program registered with the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration, Office of Apprenticeship Training, Employer and Labor Services, or with a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Office, or if a person is employed in his or her first 90 days of probationary employment as an apprentice in such an apprenticeship program, who is not individually registered in the program, but who has been certified by the Office of Apprenticeship Training, Employer and Labor Services or a State Apprenticeship Agency (where appropriate) to be eligible for probationary employment as an apprentice. The allowable ratio of apprentices to journeymen on the job site in any craft classification shall not be greater than the ratio permitted to the contractor as to the entire work force under the registered program. Any worker listed on a payroll at an apprentice wage rate, who is not registered or otherwise employed as stated above, shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed. In addition, any apprentice performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the registered program shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work actually performed. Where a contractor is performing construction on a project in a locality other than that in which its program is registered, the ratios and wage rates (expressed in percentages of the journeyman’s hourly rate) specified in the Contractor’s or subcontractor’s registered program shall be observed. Every apprentice must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the registered program for the apprentice’s level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the journeymen hourly rate specified in the applicable wage determination.
Apprentices shall be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the provisions of the apprenticeship program. If the apprenticeship program does not specify fringe benefits, apprentices must be paid the full amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage determination for the applicable classification. If the Administrator determines that a different practice prevails for the applicable apprentice classification, fringes shall be paid in accordance with that determination. In the event the Office of Apprenticeship Training, Employer and Labor Services, or a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Office, withdraws approval of an apprenticeship program, the Contractor will no longer be permitted to utilize apprentices at less than the applicable predetermined rate for the work performed until an acceptable program is approved.
(ii) Trainees. Except as provided in 29 CFR § 5.16, trainees will not be permitted to work at less than the predetermined rate for the work performed unless they are employed pursuant to and individually registered in a program which has received prior approval, evidenced by formal certification by the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training
F – Page 196 of 1320
55575.18100\42920836.2
Revised 8.9.23
Administration. The ratio of trainees to journeymen on the job site shall not be greater than permitted under the plan approved by the Employment and Training Administration. Every trainee must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the approved program for the trainee’s level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the journeyman hourly rate specified in the applicable wage determination. Trainees shall be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the provisions of the trainee program. If the trainee program does not mention fringe benefits, trainees shall be paid the full amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage determination unless the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division determines that there is an apprenticeship program associated with the corresponding journeyman wage rate on the wage determination that provides for less than full fringe benefits for apprentices.
Any employee listed on the payroll at a trainee rate that is not registered and participating in a training plan approved by the Employment and Training Administration shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed. In addition, any trainee performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the registered program shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work actually performed. In the event the Employment and Training Administration withdraws approval of a training program, the Contractor will no longer be permitted to utilize trainees at less than the applicable predetermined rate for the work performed until an acceptable program is approved.
5. Compliance with Copeland Act Requirements.
The Contractor shall comply with the requirements of 29 CFR Part 3, which are incorporated by reference in this contract.
6. Subcontracts.
The Contractor or subcontractor shall insert in any subcontracts the clauses contained in 29 CFR §§ 5.5(a)(1) through (10) and such other clauses as the Federal Aviation Administration may by appropriate instructions require, and also a clause requiring the subcontractors to include these clauses in any lower tier subcontracts. The prime contractor shall be responsible for the compliance by any subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor with all the contract clauses in 29 CFR § 5.5.
7. Contract Termination: Debarment.
A breach of the contract clauses in paragraph 1 through 10 of this section may be grounds for termination of the contract, and for debarment as a contractor and a subcontractor as provided in 29 CFR § 5.12.
8. Compliance with Davis-Bacon and Related Act Requirements.
All rulings and interpretations of the Davis-Bacon and Related Acts contained in 29 CFR Parts 1, 3, and 5 are herein incorporated by reference in this contract.
9. Disputes Concerning Labor Standards.
Disputes arising out of the labor standards provisions of this contract shall not be subject to the general disputes clause of this contract. Such disputes shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures of the Department of Labor set forth in 29 CFR Parts 5, 6, and 7.
Disputes within the meaning of this clause include disputes between the Contractor (or any

of its subcontractors) and the contracting agency, the U.S. Department of Labor, or the employees or their representatives.
10. Certification of Eligibility.
(i) By entering into this contract, the Contractor certifies that neither it (nor he or she) nor any person or firm who has an interest in the Contractor’s firm is a person or firm ineligible to be awarded Government contracts by virtue of section 3(a) of the Davis-Bacon Act or 29 CFR § 5.12(a)(1).

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.

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.

4.5 California Labor Code Requirements.
A. 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 Sections 1771, 1774 and 1775),
F – Page 227 of 1320

It shall be Contractor’s sole responsibility to comply with all applicable registration and labor compliance requirements.
5. INSURANCE

The insurance shall be for the duration of this Agreement and includes any extensions, unless otherwise specified in this Agreement. The insurance shall be procured in a form and content satisfactory to City. The insurance shall apply against claims which may arise from the Contractor's performance of Work under this Agreement, including Contractor's agents, representatives, or employees. In the event the City Manager determines that the Work or Services to be performed under this Agreement creates an increased or decreased risk of loss to the City, the Contractor agrees that the minimum limits of the insurance policies may be changed accordingly upon receipt of written notice from the City Manager or his designee. Contractor shall immediately substitute any insurer whose A.M. Best rating drops below the levels specified in this Agreement.

The minimum amount of insurance required shall be as follows:
A. Errors and Omissions Insurance. Contractor shall obtain and maintain in full force and effect throughout the term of this Agreement, standard industry form contract liability (errors and omissions) insurance coverage in an amount of not less than one million dollars ($1,000,000.00) per occurrence and two-million dollars ($2,000,000.00) annual aggregate, in accordance with the provisions of this section.
Required
x is not required;
(1) Contractor shall either: (a) certify in writing to the City that Contractor is unaware of any contract liability claims made against Contractor and is unaware of any facts which may lead to such a claim against Contractor; or (b) if Contractor does not provide the certification under (a), Contractor shall procure from the contract liability insurer an endorsement providing that the required limits of the policy shall apply separately to claims arising from errors and omissions in the rendition of services under this Agreement. (2) If the policy of insurance is written on a “claims made” basis, the policy shall be continued in full force and effect at all times during the term of this Agreement, and for a period of three (3) years from the date of the completion of the Services provided hereunder. In the event of termination of the policy during this period, Contractor shall obtain continuing insurance coverage for the prior acts or omissions of Contractor during the course of performing
F – Page 228 of 1320
Services under the terms of this Agreement. The coverage shall be evidenced by either a new policy evidencing no gap in coverage, or by obtaining separate extended “tail” coverage with the present or new carrier or other insurance arrangements providing for complete coverage, either of which shall be subject to the written approval by the City Manager. (3) In the event the policy of insurance is written on an “occurrence” basis, the policy shall be continued in full force and effect during the term of this Agreement, or until completion of the Services provided for in this Agreement, whichever is later. In the event of termination of the policy during this period, new coverage shall immediately be obtained to ensure coverage during the entire course of performing the Services under the terms of this Agreement.
B. Workers’ Compensation Insurance. Contractor shall obtain and maintain, in full force and effect throughout the term of this Agreement, workers’ compensation insurance in at least the minimum statutory amounts, and in compliance with all other statutory requirements, as required by the State of California. Contractor agrees to waive and obtain endorsements from its workers’ compensation insurer waiving subrogation rights under its workers’ compensation insurance policy against the City and to require each of its subcontractors, if any, to do likewise under their workers’ compensation insurance policies. If Contractor has no employees, Contractor shall complete the City’s Request for Waiver of Workers’ Compensation Insurance Requirement form.
C. Commercial General Liability Insurance. Contractor shall obtain and maintain, in full force and effect throughout the term of this Agreement, a policy of commercial general liability insurance written on a per occurrence basis with a combined single limit of at least one million dollars ($1,000,000.00) and two million dollars ($2,000,000.00) general aggregate for bodily injury and property damage including coverages for contractual liability, personal injury, independent contractors, broad form property damage, products and completed operations.

Any deductibles or self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by the City Manager or his/her designee prior to commencing any work or services under this Agreement. Contractor guarantees payment of all deductibles and self-insured retentions. City reserves the right to reject deductibles or selfinsured retentions in excess of $10,000, and the City Manager or his/her designee may require evidence of pending claims and claims history as well as evidence of Contractor’s ability to pay claims for all deductible amounts and self-insured retentions proposed in excess of $10,000.
5.3 Other Insurance Requirements. The following provisions shall apply to the insurance policies required of Contractor under this Agreement:
A. For any claims related to this Agreement, Contractor’s coverage shall be
F – Page 229 of 1320
primary insurance with respect to the City and its officers, council members, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers. Any insurance or self-insurance maintained by the City and its officers, council members, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers shall be in excess of Contractor’s insurance and shall not contribute with it.
B. Any failure to comply with reporting or other provisions of the policies, including breaches of warranties, shall not affect coverage provided to City and its officers, council members, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers.
C. All insurance coverage and limits provided by Contractor and available or applicable to this Agreement are intended to apply to each insured, including additional insureds, against whom a claim is made or suit is brought to the full extent of the policies. Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other agreement relating to the City or its operations shall limit the application of such insurance coverage.
D. No required insurance coverages may include any limiting endorsement which substantially impairs the coverages set forth in this Agreement (e.g., elimination of contractual liability or reduction of discovery period), unless the endorsement has first been submitted to the City Manager and approved in writing.
E. Contractor agrees to require its insurer to modify insurance endorsements to delete any exculpatory wording stating that failure of the insurer to mail written notice of cancellation imposes no obligation, or that any party will "endeavor" (as opposed to being required) to comply with the requirements of the endorsements. Certificates of insurance will not be accepted in lieu of required endorsements, and submittal of certificates without required endorsements may delay commencement of the Project. It is Contractor’s obligation to ensure timely compliance with all insurance submittal requirements as provided in this Agreement.
F. Contractor agrees to ensure that subcontractors, and any other parties involved with the Project who are brought onto or involved in the Project by Contractor, provide the same minimum insurance coverage required of Contractor. Contractor agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section. Contractor agrees that upon request, all agreements with subcontractors and others engaged in the Project will be submitted to the City for review.
G. Contractor acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of the City to inform Contractor of non-compliance with any insurance requirement in no way imposes any additional obligations on the City nor does it waive any rights in this or any other regard.
H. Contractor shall provide proof that policies of insurance required in this Agreement, expiring during the term of this Agreement, have been renewed or replaced with other policies providing at least the same coverage. Proof that such coverage has been ordered shall be submitted prior to expiration. Endorsements as required in this Agreement applicable to the renewing or new coverage shall be provided to City no later than ten (10) days prior to expiration of the lapsing coverage.
I. Requirements of specific insurance coverage features or limits contained in this section are not intended as limitations on coverage, limits, or other requirements, or as a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any given policy. Specific reference to a given
F – Page 230 of 1320
coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue, and is not intended by any party or insured to be limiting or all-inclusive.
J. The requirements in this section supersede all other sections and provisions of this Agreement to the extent that any other section or provision conflicts with or impair the provisions of this section.
K. Contractor agrees to provide immediate notice to City of any claim or loss against Contractor arising out of the Work performed under this Agreement and for any other claim or loss which may reduce the insurance available to pay claims arising out of this Agreement. City assumes no obligation or liability by such notice, but has the right (but not the duty) to monitor the handling of any such claim or claims if they are likely to involve City, or to reduce or dilute insurance available for payment of potential claims.
L. Contractor agrees that the provisions of this section shall not be construed as limiting in any way the extent to which the Contractor may be held responsible for the payment of damages resulting from the Contractor’s activities or the activities of any person or person for which the Contractor is otherwise responsible.
5.4 Sufficiency of Insurers. Insurance required in this Agreement shall be provided by authorized insurers in good standing with the State of California. 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 such requirements are waived in writing by the City Manager or his designee due to unique circumstances.
5.5 Verification of Coverage. Contractor shall furnish City with both certificates of insurance and endorsements, including additional insured endorsements, affecting 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 selfinsurance 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
F – Page 231 of 1320
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.
6. INDEMNIFICATION
6.1 Indemnification and Reimbursement. 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.
6.2 Design Contract 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.

7.1 Accounting Records. Contractor shall keep complete, accurate, and detailed accounts of all time, costs, expenses, and expenditures pertaining in any way to this Agreement.
Contractor shall keep such books and records as shall be necessary to properly perform the
F – Page 232 of 1320

The Contract Officer shall have full and free access to such books and records at all reasonable times, including the right to inspect, copy, audit, and make records and transcripts from such records.
7.2 Reports. Contractor shall periodically prepare and submit to the Contract Officer such reports concerning the performance of the Services required by this Agreement, or as the Contract Officer shall require. Contractor acknowledges that the City is greatly concerned about the cost of the Work to be performed under this Agreement. For this reason, Contractor agrees that Contractor shall promptly notify the Contract Officer the estimated increased or decreased cost if Contractor becomes aware of any facts, circumstances, techniques, or events that may or will materially increase or decrease the cost of the Services. If Contractor is providing design services, Contractor shall promptly notify the Contract Officer the estimated increased or decreased cost for the project being designed if Contractor becomes aware of any facts, circumstances, techniques, or events that may or will materially increase or decrease the cost of the design services.
7.3 Ownership of Documents. All drawings, specifications, reports, records, documents, memoranda, correspondence, computations, and other materials prepared by Contractor, its employees, subcontractors, and agents in the performance of this Agreement shall be the property of City and shall be promptly delivered to City upon request of the Contract Officer or upon the termination of this Agreement. Contractor shall have no claim for further employment or additional compensation as a result of the exercise by City of its full rights of ownership of the documents and materials. Any use of such completed documents for other projects and/or use of incomplete documents without specific written authorization by the Contractor will be at the City's sole risk and without liability to Contractor, and the City shall indemnify the Contractor for all resulting damages. Contractor may retain copies of such documents for their own use.
Contractor shall have an unrestricted right to use the concepts embodied tin this Agreement.
Contractor shall ensure that all its subcontractors shall provide for assignment to City of any documents or materials prepared by them. In the event Contractor fails to secure such assignment, Contractor shall indemnify City for all resulting damages.

All information gained by Contractor in the performance of this Agreement shall be considered confidential and shall not be released by Contractor without City’s prior written authorization.
7.5 Audit and Inspection of Records. After receipt of reasonable notice and during the regular business hours of City, Contractor shall provide City, or other agents of City, such access to Contractor’s books, records, payroll documents, and facilities as City deems necessary to examine, copy, audit, and inspect all accounting books, records, work data, documents, and activities directly related to Contractor’s performance under this Agreement. Contractor shall maintain such books, records, data, and documents in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and shall clearly identify and make such items readily accessible to such parties during the term of this Agreement and for a period of three (3) years from the date of final payment by City hereunder.
8. ENFORCEMENT OF AGREEMENT
8.1 California Law and Venue. This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted
F – Page 233 of 1320
both as to validity and as to performance of the Parties in accordance with the laws of the State of California. Legal actions concerning any dispute, claim, or matter arising out of or in relation to this Agreement shall be instituted in the Superior Court of the County of Riverside, State of California, or any other appropriate court in such County, and Contractor covenants and agrees to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such court in the event of such action.
8.2 Interpretation. This Agreement shall be construed as a whole according to its fair language and common meaning to achieve the objectives and purposes of the Parties. The terms of this Agreement are contractual and the result of negotiation between the Parties. Accordingly, any rule of construction of contracts (including, without limitation, California Civil Code Section 1654) that ambiguities are to be construed against the drafting party, shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement. The caption headings of the various sections and paragraphs of this Agreement are for convenience and identification purposes only and shall not be deemed to limit, expand, or define the contents of the respective sections or paragraphs.
8.3 Default of Contractor. Contractor’s failure to comply with any provision of this Agreement shall constitute a default.
A. If the City Manager, or his designee, determines that Contractor is in default in the performance of any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement, he/she shall notify Contractor in writing of such default. Contractor shall have ten (10) days, or such longer period as City may designate, to cure the default by rendering satisfactory performance. In the event Contractor fails to cure its default within such period of time, City shall have the right, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to terminate this Agreement without further notice and without prejudice of any remedy to which City may be entitled at law, in equity, or under this Agreement. Contractor shall be liable for all reasonable costs incurred by City as a result of such default. Compliance with the provisions of this section shall not constitute a waiver of any City right to take legal action in the event that the dispute is not cured, provided that nothing shall limit City’s right to terminate this Agreement without cause under Section 3.2.
B. If termination is due to the failure of the Contractor to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, City may, after compliance with the provisions of Section 8.3(A), take over the work and prosecute the same to completion by contract or otherwise. The Contractor shall be liable to the extent that the total cost for completion of the Services required hereunder exceeds the Maximum Contract Amount (provided that the City shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate such damages). The City may withhold any payments to the Contractor for the purpose of set-off or partial payment of the amounts owed the City as previously stated. The withholding or failure to withhold payments to Contractor shall not limit Contractor’s liability for completion of the Services as provided in this Agreement.
8.4 Waiver. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of the Party against whom enforcement of a waiver is sought. Any waiver by the Parties of any default or breach of any covenant, condition, or term contained in this Agreement, shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent or other default or breach, nor shall failure by the Parties to require exact, full, and complete compliance with any of the covenants, conditions, or terms contained in this Agreement be construed as changing the terms of this Agreement in any manner or preventing the Parties from enforcing the full provisions.
8.5 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except with respect to rights and remedies expressly declared to be exclusive in this Agreement, the rights and remedies of the Parties are
F – Page 234 of 1320
cumulative and the exercise by either Party of one or more of such rights or remedies shall not preclude the exercise by it, at the same or different times, of any other rights or remedies for the same default or any other default by the other Party.
8.6 Legal Action. In addition to any other rights or remedies, either Party may take legal action, in law or in equity, to cure, correct, remedy or recover damages for any default, to compel specific performance of this Agreement, to obtain declaratory or injunctive relief, or to obtain any other remedy consistent with the purposes of this Agreement.
8.7 Attorney Fees. In the event any dispute between the Parties with respect to this Agreement results in litigation or any non-judicial proceeding, the prevailing Party shall be entitled, in addition to such other relief as may be granted, to recover from the non-prevailing Party all reasonable costs and expenses. These include but are not limited to reasonable attorney fees, expert contractor fees, court costs and all fees, costs, and expenses incurred in any appeal or in collection of any judgment entered in such proceeding.
9. CITY OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES: NON-DISCRIMINATION
9.1 Non-liability of City Officers and Employees.

9.2 Conflict of Interest. Contractor acknowledges that no officer or employee of the City has or shall have any direct or indirect financial interest in this Agreement nor shall Contractor enter into any agreement of any kind with any such officer or employee during the term of this Agreement and for one (1) year thereafter. Contractor warrants that Contractor has not paid or given, and will not pay or give, any third party any money or other consideration in exchange for obtaining this Agreement.
9.3 Covenant Against Discrimination. In connection with its performance under this Agreement, Contractor shall not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of actual or perceived race, religion, color, sex, age, marital status, ancestry, national origin ( i.e., place of origin, immigration status, cultural or linguistic characteristics, or ethnicity), sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, physical or mental disability, or medical condition (each a “prohibited basis”). Contractor shall ensure that applicants are employed, and that employees are treated during their employment, without regard to any prohibited basis. As a condition precedent to City’s lawful capacity to enter this Agreement, and in executing this Agreement, Contractor certifies that its actions and omissions hereunder shall not incorporate any discrimination arising from or related to any prohibited basis in any Contractor activity, including but not limited to the following: employment, upgrading, demotion or transfer; recruitment or recruitment advertising; layoff or termination; rates of pay or other forms of compensation; and selection for training, including apprenticeship; and further, that Contractor is in full compliance with the provisions of Palm Springs Municipal Code Section 7.05.02, including without limitation the provision of benefits, relating to non-discrimination in city contracting.
10. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
10.1 Patent and Copyright Infringement. To the fullest extent permissible under law, and in lieu of any other warranty by City or Contractor against patent or copyright infringement, statutory or otherwise:
F – Page 235 of 1320
A. It is agreed that Contractor shall defend at its expense any claim or suit against City on account of any allegation that any item furnished under this Agreement, or the normal use or sale arising out of the performance of this Agreement, infringes upon any presently existing U.S. letters patent or copyright and Contractor shall pay all costs and damages finally awarded in any such suit or claim, provided that Contractor is promptly notified in writing of the suit or claim and given authority, information and assistance at Contractor’s expense for the defense of same, and provided such suit or claim arises out of, pertains to, or is related to the negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct of Contractor. However, Contractor will not indemnify City if the suit or claim results from: (1) City's alteration of a deliverable, such that City’s alteration of such deliverable created the infringement upon any presently existing U.S. letters patent or copyright; or (2) the use of a deliverable in combination with other material not provided by Contractor when it is such use in combination which infringes upon an existing U.S. letters patent or copyright.
B. Contractor shall have sole control of the defense of any such claim or suit and all negotiations for settlement in the event City fails to cooperate in the defense of any suit or claim, provided, however, that such defense shall be at Contractor’s expense. Contractor shall not be obligated to indemnify City under any settlement that is made without Contractor’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. If the use or sale of such item is enjoined as a result of the suit or claim, Contractor, at no expense to City, shall obtain for City the right to use and sell the item, or shall substitute an equivalent item acceptable to City and extend this patent and copyright indemnity thereto.

FAA – 08 Copeland Anti-Kickback
APPLICABILITY -
The Copeland (Anti-Kickback) Act (18 USC § 874 and 40 USC § 3145) makes it unlawful to induce by force, intimidation, threat of dismissal from employment, or by any other manner, any person employed in the construction or repair of public buildings or public works, financed in whole or in part by the United States, to give up any part of the compensation to which that person is entitled under a contract of employment. The Copeland Act also requires each contractor and subcontractor to furnish weekly a statement of compliance with respect to the wages paid each employee during the preceding week.
Contract Types –
Construction – This provision applies to all construction contracts and subcontracts financed under the AIP that exceed $2,000.
Equipment – This provision applies to all equipment installation projects (e.g., electrical vault improvements) financed under the AIP that exceed $2,000. This provision does not apply to equipment acquisitions where the equipment is manufactured at the vendor’s plant (e.g., SRE and ARFF vehicles).
Professional Services –The emergence of different project delivery methods has created situations where Professional Service Agreements (PSAs) include tasks that meet the definition of construction, alteration, or repair as defined in 29 CFR Part 5. If such tasks result in work that qualifies as construction, alteration, or repair and it exceeds $2,000, the PSA must incorporate the Copeland Anti-kickback provision.
Property –Ordinarily, land acquisition projects would not involve employment of laborers or mechanics and thus the Copeland Anti-Kickback provision would not apply. However, land projects that involve installation of boundary fencing and demolition of structures would involve laborers and mechanics. The City must include this provision if the land acquisition project involves employment of laborers or mechanics for a contract exceeding $2,000.
REQUIREMENT -
Contractor must comply with the requirements of the Copeland “Anti-Kickback” Act (18 USC 874 and 40 USC 3145), as supplemented by Department of Labor regulation 29 CFR part
3. Contractor and subcontractors are prohibited from inducing, by any means, any person employed on the project to give up any part of the compensation to which the employee is entitled. The Contractor and each Subcontractor must submit to the City, a weekly statement on the wages paid to each employee performing on covered work during the prior week. City must report any violations of the Act to the Federal Aviation Administration.
Reference: 2 CFR Part 200, Appendix II(D); 29 CFR Parts 3 and 5

FAA – 09 Davis Bacon Requirements
APPLICABILITY -
The Davis-Bacon Act (40 USC §§ 3141-3144, 3146, and 3147) ensures that laborers and mechanics employed under the contract receive pay no less than the locally prevailing wages and fringe benefits as determined by the Department of Labor.
Contract Types –
Construction –all construction contracts and subcontracts that exceed $2,000 and include funding from the AIP.
Equipment – This provision applies to all equipment installation projects (e.g., electrical vault improvements) financed under the AIP that exceed $ 2,000. This provision does not apply to equipment acquisitions where the equipment is manufactured at the vendor’s plant (e.g., SRE and ARFF vehicles)
Professional Services – The emergence of different project delivery methods has created situations where Professional Service Agreements (PSAs) includes tasks that meet the definition of construction, alteration, or repair as defined in 29 CFR Part 5. If such tasks result in work that qualifies as construction, alteration, or repair and it exceeds $2,000, the PSA must incorporate this clause.
Property – Ordinarily, land acquisition projects would not involve employment of laborers or mechanics and thus the provision would not apply. However, land projects that involve installation of boundary fencing and demolition of structures would involve laborers and mechanics. The City must include this provision if the land acquisition project involves employment of laborers or mechanics for a contract exceeding $2,000.
Fencing Projects – Fencing projects that exceed $2,000 must include this provision.
DAVIS-BACON REQUIREMENTS
1. Minimum Wages.
(i) All laborers and mechanics employed or working upon the site of the work will be paid unconditionally and not less often than once a week, and without subsequent deduction or rebate on any account (except such payroll deductions as are permitted by the Secretary of Labor under the Copeland Act (29 CFR Part 3)), the full amount of wages and bona fide fringe benefits (or cash equivalent thereof) due at time of payment computed at rates not less than those contained in the wage determination of the Secretary of Labor which is attached hereto and made a part hereof, regardless of any contractual relationship which may be alleged to exist between the Contractor and such laborers and mechanics.
Contributions made or costs reasonably anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits under section 1(b)(2) of the Davis-Bacon Act on behalf of laborers or mechanics are considered wages paid to such laborers or mechanics, subject to the provisions of paragraph (1)(iv) of this section; also, regular contributions made or costs incurred for more than a weekly period (but not less often than quarterly) under plans, funds, or programs which cover the particular weekly period, are deemed to be constructively made or incurred during such weekly period.
Such laborers and mechanics shall be paid the appropriate wage rate and fringe benefits
F – Page 259 of 1320
on the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed, without regard to skill, except as provided in 29 CFR § 5.5(a)(4). Laborers or mechanics performing work in more than one classification may be compensated at the rate specified for each classification for the time actually worked therein: Provided, that the employer’s payroll records accurately set forth the time spent in each classification in which work is performed.
The wage determination (including any additional classification and wage rates conformed under (1)(ii) of this section) and the Davis-Bacon poster (WH-1321) shall be posted at all times by the Contractor and its subcontractors at the site of the work in a prominent and accessible place where it can easily be seen by the workers. (ii)(A) The contracting officer shall require that any class of laborers or mechanics, including helpers, which is not listed in the wage determination and which is to be employed under the contract shall be classified in conformance with the wage determination. The contracting officer shall approve an additional classification and wage rate and fringe benefits therefore only when the following criteria have been met:
(1) The work to be performed by the classification requested is not performed by a classification in the wage determination;
(2) The classification is utilized in the area by the construction industry; and (3) The proposed wage rate, including any bona fide fringe benefits, bears a reasonable relationship to the wage rates contained in the wage determination. (B) If the Contractor and the laborers and mechanics to be employed in the classification (if known), or their representatives, and the contracting officer agree on the classification and wage rate (including the amount designated for fringe benefits where appropriate), a report of the action taken shall be sent by the contracting officer to the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division, U.S. Department of Labor, Washington, DC 20210. The Administrator, or an authorized representative, will approve, modify, or disapprove every additional classification action within 30 days of receipt and so advise the contracting officer or will notify the contracting officer within the 30-day period that additional time is necessary. (C) In the event the Contractor, the laborers, or mechanics to be employed in the classification, or their representatives, and the contracting officer do not agree on the proposed classification and wage rate (including the amount designated for fringe benefits, where appropriate), the contracting officer shall refer the questions, including the views of all interested parties and the recommendation of the contracting officer, to the Administrator for determination. The Administrator, or an authorized representative, will issue a determination within 30 days of receipt and so advise the contracting officer or will notify the contracting officer within the 30-day period that additional time is necessary. (D) The wage rate (including fringe benefits where appropriate) determined pursuant to subparagraphs (1)(ii) (B) or (C) of this paragraph, shall be paid to all workers performing work in the classification under this contract from the first day on which work is performed in the classification.
(iii) Whenever the minimum wage rate prescribed in the contract for a class of laborers or mechanics includes a fringe benefit which is not expressed as an hourly rate, the contractor
F – Page 260 of 1320
shall either pay the benefit as stated in the wage determination or shall pay another bona fide fringe benefit or an hourly cash equivalent thereof. (iv) If the Contractor does not make payments to a trustee or other third person, the Contractor may consider as part of the wages of any laborer or mechanic the amount of any costs reasonably anticipated in providing bona fide fringe benefits under a plan or program, Provided, that the Secretary of Labor has found, upon the written request of the Contractor, that the applicable standards of the Davis-Bacon Act have been met. The Secretary of Labor may require the Contractor to set aside in a separate account assets for the meeting of obligations under the plan or program.
2. Withholding. The Federal Aviation Administration or the City shall upon its own action or upon written request of an authorized representative of the Department of Labor withhold or cause to be withheld from the Contractor under this contract or any other Federal contract with the same prime contractor, or any other federally-assisted contract subject to DavisBacon prevailing wage requirements, which is held by the same prime contractor, so much of the accrued payments or advances as may be considered necessary to pay laborers and mechanics, including apprentices, trainees, and helpers, employed by the Contractor or any subcontractor the full amount of wages required by the contract. In the event of failure to pay any laborer or mechanic, including any apprentice, trainee, or helper, employed or working on the site of the work, all or part of the wages required by the contract, the Federal Aviation Administration may, after written notice to the Contractor, City, Applicant, or Owner, take such action as may be necessary to cause the suspension of any further payment, advance, or guarantee of funds until such violations have ceased.
3. Payrolls and Basic Records.
(i) Payrolls and basic records relating thereto shall be maintained by the Contractor during the course of the work and preserved for a period of three years thereafter for all laborers and mechanics working at the site of the work. Such records shall contain the name, address, and social security number of each such worker; his or her correct classification; hourly rates of wages paid (including rates of contributions or costs anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits or cash equivalents thereof of the types described in 1(b)(2)(B) of the DavisBacon Act); daily and weekly number of hours worked; deductions made; and actual wages paid. Whenever the Secretary of Labor has found under 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1)(iv) that the wages of any laborer or mechanic include the amount of any costs reasonably anticipated in providing benefits under a plan or program described in section 1(b)(2)(B) of the DavisBacon Act, the Contractor shall maintain records that show that the commitment to provide such benefits is enforceable, that the plan or program is financially responsible, and that the plan or program has been communicated in writing to the laborers or mechanics affected, and records which show the costs anticipated or the actual costs incurred in providing such benefits. Contractors employing apprentices or trainees under approved programs shall maintain written evidence of the registration of apprenticeship programs and certification of trainee programs, the registration of the apprentices and trainees, and the ratios and wage rates prescribed in the applicable programs.
(ii)(A) The Contractor shall submit weekly for each week in which any contract work is performed a copy of all payrolls to the Federal Aviation Administration if the agency is a party to the contract, but if the agency is not such a party, the Contractor will submit the
F – Page 261 of 1320
payrolls to the applicant, the City, or Owner, as the case may be, for transmission to the Federal Aviation Administration. The payrolls submitted shall set out accurately and completely all of the information required to be maintained under 29 CFR § 5.5(a)(3)(i), except that full social security numbers and home addresses shall not be included on weekly transmittals. Instead the payrolls shall only need to include an individually identifying number for each employee (e.g., the last four digits of the employee’s social security number). The required weekly payroll information may be submitted in any form desired. Optional Form WH–347 is available for this purpose from the Wage and Hour Division Web site at https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/government-contracts/construction/payroll-certification or its successor site. The prime contractor is responsible for the submission of copies of payrolls by all subcontractors. Contractors and subcontractors shall maintain the full social security number and current address of each covered worker and shall provide them upon request to the Federal Aviation Administration if the agency is a party to the contract, but if the agency is not such a party, the Contractor will submit them to the applicant, the City, or Owner, as the case may be, for transmission to the Federal Aviation Administration, the Contractor, or the Wage and Hour Division of the Department of Labor for purposes of an investigation or audit of compliance with prevailing wage requirements. It is not a violation of this section for a prime contractor to require a subcontractor to provide addresses and social security numbers to the prime contractor for its own records, without weekly submission to the sponsoring government agency (or the applicant, City, or Owner). (B) Each payroll submitted shall be accompanied by a "Statement of Compliance," signed by the Contractor or subcontractor or his or her agent who pays or supervises the payment of the persons employed under the contract and shall certify the following:
(1) That the payroll for the payroll period contains the information required to be provided under 29 CFR § 5.5(a)(3)(ii), the appropriate information is being maintained under 29 CFR § 5.5 (a)(3)(i), and that such information is correct and complete; (2) That each laborer and mechanic (including each helper, apprentice, and trainee) employed on the contract during the payroll period has been paid the full weekly wages earned, without rebate, either directly or indirectly, and that no deductions have been made either directly or indirectly from the full wages earned, other than permissible deductions as set forth in Regulations, 29 CFR Part 3;
(3) That each laborer or mechanic has been paid not less than the applicable wage rates and fringe benefits or cash equivalents for the classification of work performed, as specified in the applicable wage determination incorporated into the contract. (C) The weekly submission of a properly executed certification set forth on the reverse side of Optional Form WH-347 shall satisfy the requirement for submission of the “Statement of Compliance” required by paragraph (3)(ii)(B) of this section. (D) The falsification of any of the above certifications may subject the Contractor or subcontractor to civil or criminal prosecution under Section 1001 of Title 18 and Section 231 of Title 31 of the United States Code.
(iii) The Contractor or subcontractor shall make the records required under paragraph (3)(i) of this section available for inspection, copying, or transcription by authorized representatives of the City, the Federal Aviation Administration, or the Department of Labor
F – Page 262 of 1320
and shall permit such representatives to interview employees during working hours on the job. If the Contractor or subcontractor fails to submit the required records or to make them available, the Federal agency may, after written notice to the Contractor, the City, applicant, or Owner, take such action as may be necessary to cause the suspension of any further payment, advance, or guarantee of funds. Furthermore, failure to submit the required records upon request or to make such records available may be grounds for debarment action pursuant to 29 CFR § 5.12.
4. Apprentices and Trainees.
(i) Apprentices. Apprentices will be permitted to work at less than the predetermined rate for the work they performed when they are employed pursuant to and individually registered in a bona fide apprenticeship program registered with the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration, Office of Apprenticeship Training, Employer and Labor Services, or with a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Office, or if a person is employed in his or her first 90 days of probationary employment as an apprentice in such an apprenticeship program, who is not individually registered in the program, but who has been certified by the Office of Apprenticeship Training, Employer and Labor Services or a State Apprenticeship Agency (where appropriate) to be eligible for probationary employment as an apprentice. The allowable ratio of apprentices to journeymen on the job site in any craft classification shall not be greater than the ratio permitted to the contractor as to the entire work force under the registered program. Any worker listed on a payroll at an apprentice wage rate, who is not registered or otherwise employed as stated above, shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed. In addition, any apprentice performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the registered program shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work actually performed. Where a contractor is performing construction on a project in a locality other than that in which its program is registered, the ratios and wage rates (expressed in percentages of the journeyman’s hourly rate) specified in the Contractor’s or subcontractor’s registered program shall be observed. Every apprentice must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the registered program for the apprentice’s level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the journeymen hourly rate specified in the applicable wage determination.
Apprentices shall be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the provisions of the apprenticeship program. If the apprenticeship program does not specify fringe benefits, apprentices must be paid the full amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage determination for the applicable classification. If the Administrator determines that a different practice prevails for the applicable apprentice classification, fringes shall be paid in accordance with that determination. In the event the Office of Apprenticeship Training, Employer and Labor Services, or a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Office, withdraws approval of an apprenticeship program, the Contractor will no longer be permitted to utilize apprentices at less than the applicable predetermined rate for the work performed until an acceptable program is approved.
(ii) Trainees. Except as provided in 29 CFR § 5.16, trainees will not be permitted to work at less than the predetermined rate for the work performed unless they are employed pursuant to and individually registered in a program which has received prior approval, evidenced by formal certification by the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training
F – Page 263 of 1320
Administration. The ratio of trainees to journeymen on the job site shall not be greater than permitted under the plan approved by the Employment and Training Administration. Every trainee must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the approved program for the trainee’s level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the journeyman hourly rate specified in the applicable wage determination. Trainees shall be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the provisions of the trainee program. If the trainee program does not mention fringe benefits, trainees shall be paid the full amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage determination unless the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division determines that there is an apprenticeship program associated with the corresponding journeyman wage rate on the wage determination that provides for less than full fringe benefits for apprentices.
Any employee listed on the payroll at a trainee rate that is not registered and participating in a training plan approved by the Employment and Training Administration shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed. In addition, any trainee performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the registered program shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work actually performed. In the event the Employment and Training Administration withdraws approval of a training program, the Contractor will no longer be permitted to utilize trainees at less than the applicable predetermined rate for the work performed until an acceptable program is approved.
5. Compliance with Copeland Act Requirements.
The Contractor shall comply with the requirements of 29 CFR Part 3, which are incorporated by reference in this contract.
6. Subcontracts.
The Contractor or subcontractor shall insert in any subcontracts the clauses contained in 29 CFR §§ 5.5(a)(1) through (10) and such other clauses as the Federal Aviation Administration may by appropriate instructions require, and also a clause requiring the subcontractors to include these clauses in any lower tier subcontracts. The prime contractor shall be responsible for the compliance by any subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor with all the contract clauses in 29 CFR § 5.5.
7. Contract Termination: Debarment.
A breach of the contract clauses in paragraph 1 through 10 of this section may be grounds for termination of the contract, and for debarment as a contractor and a subcontractor as provided in 29 CFR § 5.12.
8. Compliance with Davis-Bacon and Related Act Requirements.
All rulings and interpretations of the Davis-Bacon and Related Acts contained in 29 CFR Parts 1, 3, and 5 are herein incorporated by reference in this contract.
9. Disputes Concerning Labor Standards.
Disputes arising out of the labor standards provisions of this contract shall not be subject to the general disputes clause of this contract. Such disputes shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures of the Department of Labor set forth in 29 CFR Parts 5, 6, and 7.
Disputes within the meaning of this clause include disputes between the Contractor (or any
F – Page 264 of 1320
of its subcontractors) and the contracting agency, the U.S. Department of Labor, or the employees or their representatives.
10. Certification of Eligibility.
(i) By entering into this contract, the Contractor certifies that neither it (nor he or she) nor any person or firm who has an interest in the Contractor’s firm is a person or firm ineligible to be awarded Government contracts by virtue of section 3(a) of the Davis-Bacon Act or 29 CFR § 5.12(a)(1).
(ii) No part of this contract shall be subcontracted to any person or firm ineligible for award of a Government contract by virtue of section 3(a) of the Davis-Bacon Act or 29 CFR §

REQUIREMENT -
The applicant must complete the following two certification statements. The applicant must indicate its current status as it relates to tax delinquency and felony conviction by inserting a checkmark in the space following the applicable response. The applicant agrees that, if awarded a contract resulting from this solicitation, it will incorporate this provision for certification in all lower tier subcontracts.
Certifications
1.

TRADE RESTRICTION CERTIFICATION
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
3) has not entered into any subcontract for any product to be used on the Federal project that is produced in a foreign country included on the list of countries that discriminate against U.S. firms published by the USTR.
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. The Contractor must require subcontractors provide immediate written notice to the Contractor if at any time it learns that its certification was erroneous by reason of changed circumstances.
Unless the restrictions of this clause are waived by the Secretary of Transportation in accordance with 49 CFR 30.17, no contract shall be awarded to an Offeror or subcontractor:
1) who is owned or controlled by one or more citizens or nationals of a foreign country included on the list of countries that discriminate against U.S. firms published by the USTR or 2) whose subcontractors are owned or controlled by one or more citizens or nationals of a foreign country on such USTR list or

3. Section C: Demonstrated understanding of the
overall project and requested scope of work
Existing Conditions
The Palm Springs International Airport parking system is currently operational and serving the airport’s needs, but it is ready for a comprehensive modernization that improves reliability, supportability, and the customer experience while setting PSP up for today’s digital parking expectations. As the incumbent service provider, SKIDATA is uniquely positioned to execute this upgrade with minimal disruption because we already know the site’s operational rhythms, existing equipment configuration, historical constraints, and the realities of supporting this parking operation day-to-day. That familiarity matters in a live airport environment where uptime and safe, predictable cutovers are non-negotiable. Our approach prioritizes continuity first—protecting operations—while progressively introducing modern capabilities in a controlled sequence.
The PSP parking operation consists of two primary parking areas: the main parking lot adjacent to the terminal and a remote overflow lot. The main lot includes four sections (Lots A, B, C, and D) and is served by six entry lanes and three exit lanes. The overflow lot is served by one entry lane and one exit lane. In total, PSP operates seven entry lanes and four exit lanes. At the main lot, the three exit lanes are adjacent. The leftmost lane is supported by an exit cashiering station integrated with a barrier gate and is housed in a cashiering booth (Booth 1) attached to the parking office. The middle exit lane includes a second cashiering booth (Booth 2), barrier gate, and an exit station that enables self-service. The rightmost exit lane consists of a barrier gate and exit station only, with no booth or cashiering setup. The existing system headend is located within the parking office attached to Booth 1, and the intercom headend server is also located there. A separate workstation in the parking office is used by staff to manage and support the system. Intercom calls are currently received at the leftmost cashiering lane.
The lanes today use legacy ticket coder technology for issuance and processing, exit stations include payment terminals where applicable, and entry stations issue tickets and provide intercom access for assistance. Cash payment is currently limited to the cashiered exit lanes and a previously-used pay-on-foot station has been decommissioned. Validations are rarely used and are currently handled using validation chaser tickets printed at desktop coders in the cashiering booths. The airport does not currently offer ecommerce reservations or digital pre-booking functionality.
A critical characteristic of the current environment is the network architecture. The parking system relies heavily on point-to-point and point-to-multipoint wireless bridges connecting key areas, including the terminal, parking office, remote lot, and multiple access plazas. SKIDATA currently supports the wireless infrastructure and associated network switching required for the parking system, along with the headend infrastructure hosting the parking server. This context drives the modernization strategy: we will not attempt to “modernize on top of a fragile foundation.” Instead, we modernize the foundation first, then modernize the lanes in a sequence that keeps parking revenue flow stable throughout.

Project Assumptions
For the purposes of this proposal, we are assuming that PSP’s IT department will provide a virtualized server environment with sufficient capacity to host the SKIDATA headend and that PSP IT will assume responsibility for managing the network and providing required network switches. We are also assuming that key wireless links are replaced with wired connectivity where appropriate, including replacement of the terminal-to-parking-office link with fiber, replacement of the terminal-to-remote-lot link with fiber, and replacement of wireless links from the access plazas back to the parking office with copper or fiber based on distance and site conditions. These assumptions are important because they reduce operational risk and materially improve long-term reliability and maintainability.
Foundational System Upgrade
The modernization begins with a foundational headend and software upgrade. SKIDATA will work directly with PSP IT to provision the required virtual machines within the airport’s server environment and establish the network connectivity required for the system and field devices. SKIDATA will then upgrade the system to the latest supported version of Parking.Logic running on the latest supported Microsoft operating system versions. This includes replacement of existing computers that are not compatible with the target operating system, including the parking office workstation and the cashiering computers located in Booth 1 and Booth 2. When complete, PSP will have a modern, supported software platform with the parking headend hosted within PSP’s IT environment—an essential prerequisite that enables the remaining modernization efforts and reduces long-term lifecycle risk.
Preparatory Modernization Work
With the foundation in place, SKIDATA will take deliberate preparatory steps designed to minimize disruption while transitioning PSP into modern workflows. These preparatory actions include enabling cashiering workflows to support the new ticket media format (paper roll tickets rather than fanfold), activating Mobile Pay, deploying a new intercom headend ready to support next-generation intercom devices on new lane equipment, configuring the LPR headend to be ready for camera commissioning, and transitioning from legacy validation handling to the digital sweb Validate platform. The intent is to have the “supporting ecosystem” live and ready before heavy lane cutovers begin, which reduces the likelihood of operational surprises and compresses downtime during go-live windows.
Lane Equipment Modernization
Lane modernization is then executed in a controlled sequence that avoids stranded customers and mixed-media complications. Because new entry devices will issue ticket media that cannot be processed by the existing exit devices due to form factor differences, SKIDATA will modernize exit lanes first. Exit stations will be replaced while reusing existing barrier gate devices where they remain compatible, and reusing existing traffic loops where feasible. Existing credit card terminal kits—added more recently and still current and compatible—will be transferred from the existing exit equipment to the new exit stations. Each modernized exit lane will also receive backup power capability via UPS/battery units to maintain lane operation during short-duration power events, improving continuity of service. License plate recognition will be added as part of the modernization to enhance customer experience, improve operational control, and support digital workflows.
Once exit lanes are modernized and fully operational, SKIDATA will proceed with entry lane modernization. Entry stations will be replaced as well, using a similar strategy: reusing existing barrier gate devices where compatible and reusing traffic loops in select locations where feasible based on existing conditions and loop health. The key difference between entries and exits is that entry lanes do not have credit card payment terminals, which simplifies the entry device configuration relative to exits. Entry lanes will still be modernized to support the new ticket media, intercom integration, and the LPR strategy described below.

18 Confidential
To add LPR functionality and UPS/battery support in the lanes, construction work will be required. Specifically for LPR, trenching will be performed to install conduit back to new camera locations, and concrete pads will be constructed to support the LPR camera poles and hardware. Camera placement will be engineered so that each camera is positioned far enough back from the lane equipment to reliably capture the rear license plate of vehicles passing through the lane, while also aligning with the operational reality that drivers typically interact with the station when the driver-side window is aligned with the entry or exit device. This placement approach is intended to improve capture rates and consistency without interfering with traffic flow.
Command Center Modernization
As part of the lane upgrades, all new entry and exit stations will be equipped with PoE IP pinhole cameras integrated into a centralized command center workflow using the sweb Control platform. When a patron presses the intercom button, the system will automatically present the video feed associated with that specific lane, giving staff immediate visual context and improving response speed and quality. The same unified interface will provide the operational controls needed to assist customers efficiently, reducing reliance on ad-hoc workflows and improving overall service consistency—especially important in a high-visibility airport environment.
Exit Cashiering Station Modernization
After lanes are upgraded and stabilized, SKIDATA will complete final enhancements to cashiering workstations as needed, including replacing legacy desktop-coder workflows with modern 1D/2D barcode readers and a separate receipt printer, while preserving the option to retain existing desktop coders for specific fringe use cases if PSP prefers.
eCommerce Webshop
With the physical system modernized and stable, PSP will be positioned to adopt the next layer of digital capability, including enabling ecommerce parking reservations so guests can reserve and pay in advance. For this, SKIDATA proposes ParkSpace by Chauntry, a proven reservation platform that has been integrated with SKIDATA for years and is commonly used to support advance purchase use cases.
Final Outcome
When the project is complete, PSP will have a modernized parking operation hosted in PSP’s IT environment, running current supported software, equipped with new entry and exit stations, improved cashiering and support workflows, digital validations, Mobile Pay, ecommerce reservations, and license plate recognition. Just as importantly, PSP will have achieved this modernization using a phased approach designed to reduce operational risk, limit disruption, and ensure the airport is supported by a provider already accountable for keeping this system running today—making the transition smoother, safer, and more predictable than a provider who is learning the site from scratch.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN
The objectives of the SKIDATA Project Timeline recommendations are to:
- Reduce risk to contract; concentrate the PARCS contractor on what it does best. - Reduce time to implementation of most value-adding areas, coordinate with other trades. - Reduce risk to security; provide high-quality design and IT documentation. - Reduce public and operation disruption; communicate the change, make the cut-over seamless. - Provide flexibility to extend using an expedited plan as the base; get what you want fast. - Provide the ability to run the Phases in parallel where possible, by adding labor resources.
Allowing our Customers and SKIDATA every opportunity to exceed project expectations.
PARCS Transition Methodology
IT and Parking Operations have an important role in the management of the system and process upgrade, these are stepped through so as to be understood and resourced during the planning phase of the project. SKIDATA’s work on other large Project transitions provides us with the ability to understand the methods and standards expected.
Partnership in Transition Governance
When SKIDATA assumes responsibility for the management of PARCS environments, we can draw upon a proven transition approach and structured set of tools, methodologies, architecture, and most importantly – the experience to plan and manage the transition to ensure minimal impact on the business. A critical success factor for transition is a well-defined governance model that provides Stakeholders with the appropriate level of control during the transition period. Through this model, Operations and SKIDATA jointly establish clear guidance for the migration of work and the control of critical issues. The governance model is illustrated in the chart to the right. It is hierarchical in nature and can be customized.
Transitions contain elements of risk and SKIDATA’s approach is to assess these risks with our customers, to establish appropriate mitigation plans and then proactively manage the identified risks of closure. SKIDATA has a standardized risk management process that is used as a starting point to define the risk management plan. A risk identification workshop is convened early in the project planning phase where identified risks are assigned owners who will be responsible for developing mitigation plans. These plans are assessed and tracked by the project office and project risks become an ongoing focus item for the Transition Steering Committee reporting and reviews.
At a minimum, risk impact analyses and containment plans will include the following:
• The financial impact on the project budget.
• Schedule impact on declared deliverables.
• Quality impact on satisfaction with the delivery.
Typical risks involved in transition include:
• Full or partial interruption of service.
• The departure of key employees.
• The shortfall in skills and knowledge.
• Compromised security levels.
• Availability of appropriately skilled resources.
• Lack of transparency.
• Miscommunication.

Our customers can be confident in the knowledge that SKIDATA has the experience, processes, and resources to manage the transition and transformation.
The most important factor is the predetermined Project priorities based on the least disruption to stakeholders, fast transition and the most efficient project completion. As outlined in the schedule below, after the contract and procurement period begins, we will engage all parties to coordinate with civil, electrical and network requirements with the relevant departments and related parties to define responsibilities and timelines. Your Team will need to permit the works where applicable.
Sequencing
Where possible and in further discussion, the most efficient use of resources for all would be gained by sequencing the conversion locations so the SKIDATA project team need not ramp up each time but cut from one garage to another without delay. We understand that this puts all other considerations aside, but it is an important objective if it can be achieved. Further discussions will commence during the design meetings to solidify the plan as it becomes a balance between speed/efficiency vs service interruption. For example, working in more lanes concurrently is faster than working in less, but causes greater impact to operations.
As the system is already running SKIDATA, the upgrade process has drastically reduced risk as compared to attempting to keep two systems operational. The software will be updated ahead of the physical install as existing equipment is compatible. This will allow new equipment to be immediately brought online as soon as it is complete, minimizing downtime.
Training will commence immediately before the first location goes live.

Training Program
SKIDATA has a highly developed and mature training program. SKIDATA supports customer direct and distribution networks training requirements. The combination requires comprehensive training programs that are regularly scheduled and documented. All the defined training programs exist and have been refined and improved over the years. The maturity of our programs and staff allows us to focus on relevant information to our customers based on years of experience. This translates to better trained operations staff and a smoother operation.
SKIDATA will develop and conduct a comprehensive training program to cover each PARC System component and functionality, as well as the system. We have planned enough courses and have several trainers on staff to accommodate the training time and attendee requirements. Our schedule reflects the proposed number and frequency of the training courses. In all cases SKIDATA has “out of the box” training curricula that meet the requirements.
The maintenance and support training courses are the same courses we use to certify our distribution network engineers. These same courses will be used as the basis for the support staff if chosen. The training shall be designed to ensure that the trained personnel become proficient in the use, administration and maintenance/support of the PARCS.

PREBOOKING AND RESERVATION SYSTEM OVERVIEW
F – Page 340 of 1320
Prebooking and Reservation System Overview
Core Idea
Introduce a phased parking reservation system that allows customers to reserve access to airport parking lots (A, B, C, and D) in advance.
Reservations guarantee entry to a parking lot. Not a specific space.
Objective
Make parking easier and more predictable by:
• Reducing congestion and circling for parking spaces
• Saving time for guests
• Providing a guaranteed parking option, especially during the peak season Why This Is Needed
Parking challenges at the Airport are largely seasonal. During peak travel periods, such as the winter seasonal resident influx and major events, parking demand often exceeds the capacity of the primary parking lots. This leads to:
• Traffic congestion
• Overflow parking
• Frustration for customers searching for parking spaces The reservation system helps manage these peaks by:
• Distributing demand before customers arrive
• Providing advance visibility into parking demand
• Allowing staff to better manage lot capacity
• Reducing pressure on drive-up parking
While most beneficial during peak periods, the system remains optional year-round.
How It Works
1. Parking is reserved online in advance
2. Pricing is reviewed and paid upfront
3. A digital credential (license plate recognition or scannable code) is received
4. On arrival, the customer enters the selected parking lot using the provided digital credential
5. When returning, the customer exits without additional payment if within their reserved time
6. If the reserved time is exceeded, the customer pays the difference upon exiting
F – Page 341 of 1320
Pricing Strategy
To encourage early reservations:
• Advance bookings may be offered at a lower rate than drive-up parking • Prices can increase as demand rises closer to peak periods Benefits include:
• Encouraging early planning
• Reducing day-of congestion
• Improving predictability of parking demand
• Supporting long-term adoption of the system
Operations
• Daily monitoring of reservations and lot occupancy
• Ability to limit drive-up access when lots near capacity • Direction of drivers to alternative lots when needed
• Maintaining a buffer to prevent overbooking
• Coordination with parking operations staff (ABM)
Implementation Approach
• Start with a small pilot program
• Evaluate performance and customer feedback
• Expand gradually based on results
Future Enhancements
Using reservation data, the system can incorporate predictive analytics to:
• Forecast demand
• Improve planning and staffing
• Optimize pricing and availability
This approach enhances the customer experience, reduces congestion, and allows the Airport to better manage parking during its busiest times while remaining flexible year-round.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: MAY 12, 2026 CONSENT CALENDAR
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF A CONTRACT SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH BEAR
ELECTRICAL SOLUTIONS, LLC, FOR ON-CALL TRAFFIC SIGNAL
MAINTENANCE SUPPORT SERVICES
FROM: Scott C. Stiles, City Manager
BY: Engineering Services Department
SUMMARY:
The City’s current multi-year “on-call” agreement for traffic signal maintenance services with St. Francis Electric, LLC will expire on June 30, 2026. Approval of this item will allow the City to enter into a new multi-year on-call agreement with Bear Electrical Solutions, LLC (Bear) to provide traffic signal maintenance services.
RECOMMENDATION:
1) Approve Agreement with Bear Electrical Solutions, LLC, for on-call traffic signal maintenance services for a not-to-exceed annual amount of $580,000 for routine maintenance, and all other emergency repairs reimbursed at a time/materials cost basis, for an initial three (3) year term, subject to two (2) additional one (1) year extensions; and,
2) Authorize the City Manager to execute all necessary documents.
BUSINESS PRINCIPAL DISCLOSURE:
The Public Integrity Disclosure form from Bear is included as Attachment A.
BACKGROUND:
Since 2003, the City has contracted for on-call traffic signal maintenance services. From June 18, 2003, to April 1, 2009, the City contracted with the County of Riverside to provide such services.
On February 18, 2009, the City awarded a multi-year contract to Republic Intelligent Transportation Services, with an effective service period of April 1, 2009, to June 30, 2016.

City Council Staff Report
May 12, 2026 -- Page 2
Approval of a Traffic Signal Maintenance Contract with Bear Electrical Solutions, LLC On June 1, 2016, the City awarded a multi-year contract to St. Francis Electric with an effective service date of July 1, 2016, and expiring on June 30, 2021.
On May 27, 2021, the City awarded a multi-year contract to St. Francis Electric with an effective service date of July 1, 2021, and expiring on June 30, 2026.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
On February 18, 2026, Staff issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) to solicit on-call traffic signal maintenance services. The RFP was posted through the City’s on-line bid management system Planetbids. By the March 16, 2026, deadline, a total of six (6) proposals were received as shown in Table 1 below:
Table 1
Firm Location Status
Bear Electrical Solutions, LLC Anaheim, CA Selected
St. Francis Electric, LLC Riverside, CA Not Selected
Econolite Systems, Inc. Anaheim, CA Not Selected
Yunex, LLC Riverside, CA Not Selected
Crosstown Electrical and Data, Inc. Palm Desert, CA Not Selected Macadee Electrical Construction Brea, CA Not Selected
An evaluation committee made up of City Staff evaluated the proposals based on their experience, quality of staff, and understanding of the scope of work. The top three (3) rated firms were asked to participate in an interview. Following the interviews, the evaluation committee selected Bear as the best qualified to provide the traffic signal maintenance services stated in the RFP. A copy of the Bear proposal is included in the contract services agreement, Attachment B.
The proposed agreement includes a fixed cost component for routine preventative maintenance based on a per-location rate, time, and materials component for emergency and non-routine repairs. The majority of traffic signal maintenance services performed for the City are emergency in nature, including responses to malfunctioning signals, lights out, and damage resulting from vehicle collisions. As a result, overall costs are largely driven by the frequency and severity of these unplanned events.
Historically, annual expenditures for traffic signal maintenance services have fluctuated based on service demand. While the City has budgeted $580,000 annually in recent years, actual expenditures have varied, totaling $580,000 in FY 2023-2024, $980,000 in FY 2024-2025, and an estimated $860,000 in FY 2025-2026.
Staff recommends the City Council approve a Contract Services Agreement with Bear.
The contract will be a multi-year contract having an initial term of three years from July 1, 2026, to July 1, 2029, with two (2) one-year extensions to be allowed at the discretion of the City Manager. Therefore, this contract may have a five (5) year term, with 30-days’

Approval of a Traffic Signal Maintenance Contract with Bear Electrical Solutions, LLC notice of termination for convenience.
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.
ALIGNMENT WITH STRATEGIC PLANNING:
This item aligns with the following City Council Strategic Plan Broad Goal: Infrastructure and Facilities.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Staff recommend maintaining a not-to-exceed annual appropriation of $580,000 for traffic signal maintenance services for the duration of the contract. However, additional appropriations may be requested in future fiscal years, based on actual service demands.
Sufficient funding will be included in the FY 2026-2027 budget and will be available in the General Fund, Engineering Division, Account No. 1002000-40105 (Contractual Services), to support this contract.

STAFF ANALYSIS:
In accordance with City of Palm Springs Municipal Code Section 7.03.09, “Special Procurement Methods,” Section 5, “Cooperative Purchasing Programs”, the City Council may authorize the acquisition of supplies or services through a joint powers or other cooperative purchasing program with a public entity or association of public agencies or officials, provided that the vendor selected has been selected through a competitive process and the department finds that the competitive process is similar to that contained in Title 7 or adequate to protect the public interest, and that due to economies of scale, the nature of the product, or market conditions, the price of the supplies or services is likely to be less through the cooperative purchase than through the City’s independent purchasing pursuant to Title 7.
OMNIA is a public agency that conducts competitive solicitations and awards contracts to qualified vendors, allowing participating agencies to benefit from volume pricing and streamlined procurement processes. This cooperative purchasing arrangement provides competitive pricing and efficient procurement to support the operational needs of the Public Works Department through OMNIA Contract #R210702 for facilities management software services.

If Contractor has no employees, Contractor shall complete the City’s Request for Waiver of Workers’ Compensation Insurance Requirement form.
C. Commercial General Liability Insurance. Contractor shall obtain and maintain, in full force and effect throughout the term of this Agreement, a policy of commercial general liability insurance written on a per occurrence basis with a combined single limit of at least one million dollars ($1,000,000.00) and two million dollars ($2,000,000.00) general aggregate for bodily injury and property damage including coverages for contractual liability, personal injury, independent contractors, broad form property damage, products and completed operations.

B. Any failure to comply with reporting or other provisions of the policies, including breaches of warranties, shall not affect coverage provided to City and its officers, council members, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers.
C. All insurance coverage and limits provided by Contractor and available or applicable to this Agreement are intended to apply to each insured, including additional insureds, against whom a claim is made or suit is brought to the full extent of the policies.

H – Page 361 of 1320
55575.18100\42906602.1
BB&K (2024)
D. No required insurance coverages may include any limiting endorsement which substantially impairs the coverages set forth in this Agreement (e.g., elimination of contractual liability or reduction of discovery period), unless the endorsement has first been submitted to the City Manager and approved in writing.
E. Contractor agrees to require its insurer to modify insurance endorsements to delete any exculpatory wording stating that failure of the insurer to mail written notice of cancellation imposes no obligation, or that any party will "endeavor" (as opposed to being required) to comply with the requirements of the endorsements. Certificates of insurance will not be accepted in lieu of required endorsements, and submittal of certificates without required endorsements may delay commencement of the Project. It is Contractor’s obligation to ensure timely compliance with all insurance submittal requirements as provided in this Agreement.
F. Contractor agrees to ensure that subcontractors, and any other parties involved with the Project who are brought onto or involved in the Project by Contractor, provide the same minimum insurance coverage required of Contractor. Contractor agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section. Contractor agrees that upon request, all agreements with subcontractors and others engaged in the Project will be submitted to the City for review.
G. Contractor acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of the City to inform Contractor of non-compliance with any insurance requirement in no way imposes any additional obligations on the City nor does it waive any rights in this or any other regard.
H. Contractor shall provide proof that policies of insurance required in this Agreement, expiring during the term of this Agreement, have been renewed or replaced with other policies providing at least the same coverage. Proof that such coverage has been ordered shall be submitted prior to expiration. Endorsements as required in this Agreement applicable to the renewing or new coverage shall be provided to City no later than ten (10) days prior to expiration of the lapsing coverage.
I. Requirements of specific insurance coverage features or limits contained in this section are not intended as limitations on coverage, limits, or other requirements, or as a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any given policy. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue, and is not intended by any party or insured to be limiting or all-inclusive.
J. The requirements in this section supersede all other sections and provisions of this Agreement to the extent that any other section or provision conflicts with or impair the provisions of this section.
K. Contractor agrees to provide immediate notice to City of any claim or loss against Contractor arising out of the Work performed under this Agreement and for any other claim or loss which may reduce the insurance available to pay claims arising out of this Agreement. City assumes no obligation or liability by such notice, but has the right (but not the duty) to monitor the handling of any such claim or claims if they are likely to involve City, or to reduce or dilute insurance available for payment of potential claims.
L. Contractor agrees that the provisions of this section shall not be construed as limiting in any way the extent to which the Contractor may be held responsible for the payment
H – Page 362 of 1320
55575.18100\42906602.1
BB&K (2024)
of damages resulting from the Contractor’s activities or the activities of any person or person for which the Contractor is otherwise responsible.
1.4 Sufficiency of Insurers. Insurance required in this Agreement shall be provided by authorized insurers in good standing with the State of California. 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 such requirements are waived in writing by the City Manager or his designee due to unique circumstances.
1.5 Verification of Coverage. Contractor shall furnish City with both certificates of insurance and endorsements, including additional insured endorsements, affecting 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 selfinsurance 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.

BUSINESS PRINCIPAL DISCLOSURE:
According to the Public Integrity Disclosure form (Attachment B), OFRS, Inc., is registered in the state of California.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Palm Springs continues to work on solutions to assist the homeless population with services and temporary to permanent housing, and additionally, to address the homeless encampments that require continual attention. These sites can become a dumping ground for trash and debris, some of which contain both hazardous and biohazardous waste. These sites are located not only in the urban areas of the City but also within drainage ditches and washes, posing a challenge for access and a hazard for those living in these areas should there be a significant rain event.

Approve Amendment No. 3 with OFRS, Inc.
On May 25, 2023, City Council approved Agreement No. 23P056 (Attachment C) with OFRS, Inc., for an initial three-year term for an amount not to exceed $1,200,000. This initial award amount equates to deploying the contractor an estimated 2 days a week.
On March 14, 2024, the City entered into Amendment No. 1 (Attachment D) to modify the schedule of fees, to modify the site cleanup mobilization cost per site charge and establish not-to-exceed costs for equipment used to reduce the monthly cost of services to the City.
On November 21, 2024, City Council approved Amendment No. 2 (Attachment D) with OFRS, Inc., providing for an additional $1,680,000, and a revised contract amount not to exceed $2,880,000 through the initial three-year term ending May 31, 2026. Staff anticipated an increased volume of services required at the start of the contract but anticipated reducing services in the second contract year. That reduction was not realized, and staff have been utilizing OFRS, Inc., services an estimated 4.5 days a week.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
OFRS, Inc. has been responsible for working respectfully with the homeless population to clean up these various sites on an as-needed basis. The services include remediation, disinfection, debris removal, bagging and tagging personal property for storage, posting and noticing prior to clean-up events, and proper hazardous and biohazardous waste disposal.
Staff recommend approval of Amendment No. 3 to Agreement 23P056 with OFRS, Inc., providing for an additional $1,008,000 for a revised not to exceed contract amount of $3,888,000 and extending the term of the contract through May 31, 2027.
