CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: AUGUST 26, 2026 CONSENT CALENDAR
SUBJECT: APPROVE AN AMENDMENT TO THE AGREEMENT WITH LIEBERT

CASSIDY WHITMORE TO PROVIDE EMPLOYMENT AND LABOR

RELATIONS LEGAL SERVICES
FROM: Scott C. Stiles, City Manager
BY: Human Resources
SUMMARY:

This action will approve an amendment to the current contract with Liebert Cassidy Whitmore to provide employment and labor relations legal services to the City.

RECOMMENDATION:
1) Approve an Amendment (Attachment A) to the Agreement for Special Services with Liebert Cassidy Whitmore to provide consulting, representational and legal services pertaining to employment relations matters.

BUSINESS PRINCIPAL DISCLOSURE:

A copy of the Public Integrity Disclosure Form for Liebert Cassidy Whitmore, a Professional Corporation, is included as Attachment B.

BACKGROUND:

The City has utilized the law firm Liebert Cassidy Whitmore (LCW) to provide legal and consulting services for matters pertaining to employee and labor relations since 2007.

These services include labor negotiations, legal consultation and representation in administrative and court proceedings. The current contract was approved by City Council on November 10, 2022, with an effective date of October 1, 2022. LCW is increasing their billing rates effective July 1, 2026.

STAFF ANALYSIS:

Due to the evolving complex nature of employment law, the City desires to retain the law firm Liebert Cassidy Whitmore for as-needed legal services. The services will be utilized

V – Page 819 of 1230
City Council Staff Report
August 26, 2026 -- Page 2
Amendment to Agreement with Liebert Cassidy Whitmore for Employment and Labor Legal Services in 2027 as the new labor agreements with the Palm Springs Fire Management Association and Teamsters Local 1932 are being negotiated.

Staff finds the new billing rates reasonable and comparable to the rates of other law firms.

The procurement of contracts for legal services are exempt from Title 7 of the Palm Springs Municipal Code, Procurement and Contracting. Staff recommends the City Council approve the attached amendment (Attachment A) to the Agreement for Special Services with the law firm of Liebert Cassidy Whitmore for as requested legal services.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:

The requested City Council action is not a “Project” as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Pursuant to Section 15378(a), a “Project” means the whole of an action, which has a potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. The requested action is to approve contracts for the above-mentioned services, and is exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15378(b), in that a “Project” does not include: (5) Organizational or administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Funds for outside legal services are currently budgeted. No additional appropriations are requested as a part of this report.

5. Arbitration of Professional Liability or Other Claims Disputes.

If a dispute arises between City and Attorney over any other aspect of the attorney-client relationship, including, without limitation, a claim for breach of professional duty, that dispute will also be resolved by arbitration.

SCHEDULE II
LCW LITIGATION and E-DISCOVERY MANAGEMENT
LCW is committed to using state-of-the-art technology to efficiently manage and harness electronically-stored information (“ESI”) in compliance with Federal and State law requirements. LCW partners with an outside managed services provider to provide Relativity, the industry leading e-discovery software, for this purpose. The cost for each matter will depend on the volume and format of the data. For non-complex data up to 50 gigabytes, LCW charges a monthly fee of $450 on all active litigation matters for data management, including data validation and security, ingestion, de-duplication, culling and streamlining, and creation of Relativity fields for expedited review. For data of 50 gigabytes and over and for complex data requiring specialized services (e.g., payroll data, spreadsheets with underlying formulas, video, advanced searches, etc.), additional charges are incurred and are passed through to the client. For such charges, we will provide an itemized bill from our managed services provider and obtain client approval prior to incurring the charges.

Litigation Case Staffing
LCW has organized its litigation practice to meet the challenges of today’s complex litigation cases. We employ a dedicated Litigation Manager – a non-billing attorney litigator – whose responsibility is to monitor all litigation cases to ensure quality, efficiency, and adherence to client and firm litigation guidelines. Each litigation case is staffed with a Partner, an Associate (or Associates, as required and as approved by the Client), a Paralegal and an E-Discovery Specialist. Our E-Discovery Specialists have extensive experience in the efficient management of electronic data through every stage of the e-discovery life cycle, and they strategize with attorneys and clients on effective ESI protocols. This makes the document review process more efficient and enables our attorneys to target the most relevant data to meet litigation objectives. Working with our e-discovery managed services provider, we are able to provide state-of-the-art data processing and hosting services at below-market rates.

Approve Official Police Tow and Storage Service Agreements BUSINESS PRINCIPAL DISCLOSURE:

According to the Public Integrity Disclosure forms (Attachment B) submitted in June 2026, Alfonso Towing, Inc., Dave’s Towing Services, and Mohica Towing, Inc. are registered in the state of California.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Palm Springs Police Department requires the services of qualified contractors to provide professional towing, recovery, and vehicle storage services in support of its public safety operations. The Department does not possess the specialized equipment, personnel, or certifications necessary to safely and effectively perform these services internally.

Contracted towing services are essential to ensure the timely removal, recovery, transportation, and secure storage of vehicles resulting from traffic collisions, criminal investigations, vehicle impounds, abandoned vehicles, and other law enforcement activities. Utilizing qualified towing contractors ensures compliance with applicable state laws, industry standards, and safety requirements while allowing Police Department personnel to remain focused on their core public safety responsibilities.

Entering into agreements with qualified towing service providers will ensure the Department maintains reliable, responsive, and professional towing services that support public safety, protect City assets, and provide efficient service to the community.

In 2006, the City Council adopted an ordinance establishing the selection process and contractual system for police tow services. In addition, the ordinance set forth minimum requirements and performance standards for equipment, facilities, personnel and services for each tow company providing as-needed vehicle towing and storage services requested by the Palm Springs Police Department. The ordinance also established procedures for suspending or revoking tow companies that fail to meet the City's minimum standards, violate federal, state or local laws, or for any cause which the Police Department determines is in the public interest, convenience, necessity or general welfare to suspend or revoke an individual agreement.

On July 18, 2018, City Council adopted Resolution No. 24471, approving the City’s RFP to solicit proposals for new tow service providers. In response to the City’s RFP, the City’s three incumbent tow service providers submitted proposals to continue providing tow services to the community. On December 19, 2018, City Council adopted Resolution No. 24536 approving an Official Police Tow Service Agreement with those three firms: A&A Towing and Recovery, Inc. (A6280); Dave’s Towing Service (A6281); and Mohica Towing, Inc. (A6282).

The terms of these agreements were 5 years, through December 2024, and have subsequently continued on an interim basis to allow staff to prepare a new Request for

City Council Staff Report
August 26, 2026 -- Page 3
Approve Official Police Tow and Storage Service Agreements Proposals/Statement of Qualifications (RFP/SOQ) to solicit new proposals for tow services.

On March 14, 2024, City Council adopted Resolution No. 25189 approving maximum rates that tow service providers can charge and an updated the Vehicle Towing Administrative Cost Recovery (VTACR) fee for the Palm Springs Police Department and Amendment No. 2 to Agreements A6281 and A6282.

On March 25 and April 8, 2026, City Council adopted Ordinance 2129 amending Section

11.82.130 (j)(1), Subdivision (j)(1) of Section 11.82.130 of Chapter 11.82 of Title 11 of the Palm Springs Municipal code to read as follows:
(j) Official police tow service shall have a secure and environmentally safe vehicle storage facility with a minimum of fifteen thousand usable square feet.
(1) The vehicle storage facility must be located in or within ten (10) miles of the corporate city limits of the city of Palm Springs. For purposes of measuring the ten (10) miles, distance shall be measured in driving distance.

The prior code required tow facilities to be located within cooperate boundaries of the city which resulted in reduced competition, therefore staff desired to modify the location requirements for vehicle storage facilities. This change will now provide the tools necessary for the Police Department to retain a rotational pool to clear the roadway of damaged vehicles and debris, remove abandoned vehicles, recover stolen vehicles, and help ensure roadway safety. Official police tow service providers, dispatched on a rotational basis, remove and store vehicles the Department impounds or holds for investigation, examination, or evidence.

On May 12, 2026, City Council adopted Resolution No. 25394, authorizing staff to advertise and solicit responses for as-needed vehicle towing and storage services for the Palm Springs Police Department.

STAFF ANALYSIS:

The City’s Procurement Department worked closely with the Police Department and City Attorney’s Office to prepare the solicitation and Official Police Tow Services Agreement and posted, distributed, and advertised the Request for Qualifications (RFQ 04-26) for Official Police Towing and Storage Services on May 18, 2026. The Notice was electronically transmitted to nine tow companies operating throughout the region. The City received five responses to its RFQ.
• Alexandra Recovery Services Inc. – Palm Springs, CA (Non-Responsive) • Alfonso Towing Inc. – Desert Hot Springs, CA
• Daves Towing Service – Palm Springs, CA

August 26, 2026 -- Page 4
Approve Official Police Tow and Storage Service Agreements • Mohica Towing Inc. – Palm Springs, CA
• RRR Towing, Inc. – Palm Springs, CA (Non-Responsive)
An evaluation panel consisting of representatives from the Police Department evaluated these responses based upon the criteria set forth in the RFQ. Criteria included the firm’s facilities, equipment and personnel; staff and team’s qualifications and experience; demonstrated understanding of the overall scope of work requested, financial and organization stability; successful completion of similar services, and safety record.

After reviewing and scoring the five responses, the evaluation panel concluded that only three of the five firms met the minimum qualifications to provide the towing services as requested in the RFQ and is recommending that the City Council award agreements to the following tow companies (in alphabetical order): Alfonso Towing; Dave's Towing; and Mohica Towing.

Staff recommend approval of Official Police Tow Service Agreement No. 26Q168 with Alfonso Towing, Inc.; No. 26Q169 with Dave’s Towing Service; and No. 26Q170 with Mohica Towing, Inc., for the initial three-year term, subject to two one-year optional renewals upon mutual agreement (Attachment C).

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:

ALIGNMENT WITH STRATEGIC PLANNING:

These services directly align with the City's broader goals of enhancing public safety and delivering high-quality community services. Maintaining qualified towing and storage contractors ensures the Police Department can respond efficiently to emergencies, remove hazards from public roadways, preserve evidence when necessary, and provide timely service to the community. This partnership supports the Department's mission of protecting the public while promoting safe, efficient, and effective municipal operations.

2.3 Prohibition Against Subcontracting or Assignments. The experience, knowledge, capability, expertise, and reputation of Contractor, its principals and employees, were a substantial inducement for City to enter into this Agreement.

Therefore, Contractor shall not assign full or partial performance of this Agreement, nor any monies due, voluntarily or by operation of law, without the prior written consent of City. Contractor shall not contract with any other entity to perform the Services required under this Agreement without the prior written consent of City.

If Contractor is permitted to subcontract any part of this Agreement by City, Contractor shall be responsible to City for the acts and omissions of its subcontractor(s) in the same manner as it is for persons directly employed.

Nothing contained in this Agreement shall create any contractual relationships between any subcontractor and City. All persons engaged in the Work will be considered employees of Contractor. City will deal directly with and will make all payments to Contractor. In addition, neither this Agreement nor any interest in this Agreement may be transferred, assigned, conveyed, hypothecated, or encumbered voluntarily or by operation of law, whether for the benefit of creditors or otherwise, without the prior written consent of City. Transfers restricted in this Agreement shall include the transfer to any person or group of persons acting in concert of more than twenty five percent (25%) of the present ownership and/or control of Contractor, taking all transfers into account on a cumulative basis. In the event of any such unapproved transfer, including any bankruptcy proceeding, this Agreement shall be void. No approved transfer shall release Contractor or any surety of Contractor from any liability under this Agreement without the express written consent of City.

2.4 Independent Contractor. The legal relationship between the Parties is that of an independent contractor, and nothing shall be deemed to make Contractor a City employee. The following additional provisions shall apply:

2.4.1 During the performance of this Agreement, Contractor and its officers, employees, and agents shall act in an independent capacity and shall not act or represent themselves as City officers or employees. The personnel performing the Services under this Agreement on behalf of Contractor shall at all times be under Contractor’s exclusive direction and control. Neither City nor any of its officers, employees, or agents shall have control over the conduct of Contractor or any of its officers, employees, or agents, except as set forth in this Agreement. Contractor, its officers, employees, or agents shall not maintain an office or any other type of fixed business location at City’s offices. City shall have no voice in the selection, discharge, supervision, or control of Contractor’s employees, servants, representatives, or agents, or in fixing their number, compensation, or hours of service. Contractor shall pay all wages, salaries, and other amounts due its employees in connection with this Agreement and shall be responsible for all reports and obligations respecting them, including but not limited to social security income tax withholding, unemployment compensation, workers’ compensation, and other similar matters. City shall not in any way or for any purpose be deemed to be a partner of Contractor in its business or otherwise a joint venture or a member of any joint enterprise with Contractor.

2.4.2 Contractor shall not have any authority to bind City in any manner. This includes the power to incur any debt, obligation, or liability against City.

2.4.3 No City benefits shall be available to Contractor, its officers, employees, or agents in connection with any performance under this Agreement. Except for professional fees paid to Contractor as provided for in this Agreement, City shall not pay salaries, wages, or other compensation to Contractor for the performance of Services under this Agreement. City shall not be liable for compensation or indemnification to Contractor, its officers, employees, or agents, for injury or sickness arising out of performing Services. If for any reason any court or governmental agency determines that the City has financial obligations as otherwise provided for in this Agreement, of any nature relating to salary, taxes, or benefits of Contractor’s officers, employees, servants, representatives, subcontractors, or agents, Contractor shall indemnify City for all such financial obligations.

3. INSURANCE

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. All insurance provided under this Agreement shall be on an occurrence basis. The minimum amount of insurance required shall be as follows:

3.1.1 Commercial Business Automobile Liability, as required by Vehicle Code Section 16500.5. Such coverage must cover all owned, hired, and non-owned vehicles, including leased and rented vehicles. If Contractor does not own any vehicles, this requirement may be satisfied by a non- owned vehicle endorsement to the CGL and Umbrella/Excess policies. The coverage shall include bodily injury and property damage, with a combined single limit of not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence (Combined single limit each accident for bodily injury and property damage). These minimum standards are to include non-owned and hired auto coverage.

3.1.2 Uninsured Motorist, with a combined single limit of not less than the legal minimum.

3.1.3 On-Hook Coverage / Garage Keepers Legal Liability insuring the vehicle in tow, with not less than the following limits based on the size of the tow truck:

3.1.5 Garage Keepers Liability, in an amount not less than the amounts required for On-Hook coverage for vehicles in the care, custody, and control of Contractor in the storage yard.

3.1.6 Workers’ Compensation (Statutory) and Employer’s Liability Insurance.

Contractor shall comply with all of the provisions of the Workers’ Compensation Insurance and Safety Acts of the State of California, the applicable provisions of Division 4 and 5 of the California Government Code and all amendments thereto; and all similar state and federal acts or laws applicable; and shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless City and its Council Members, officers, employees, and agents from and against all claims, demands, payments, suits, actions, proceedings, and judgments of every nature and description, including attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by City or presented, brought, or recovered against City, its Council Members, officers, employees, and agents, for or on account of any liability under any of said acts which may be incurred by reason of any work to be performed by Contractor under this Agreement.

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.

3.1.7 Commercial General Liability Insurance (CGL): 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.

3.1.8 Employer Liability Insurance: Contractor shall obtain and maintain, in full force and effect throughout the term of this Agreement, a policy of employer liability insurance written on a per occurrence basis with a policy limit of at least one million dollars ($1,000,000.00) for bodily injury or disease.

3.1.9 Those tow truck operators removing a vehicle from a hazardous materials incident to the nearest reasonable and safe stopping location will be

W – Page 860 of 1230

Page 7 of 36 ends

considered to be transporting property subject to normal minimum insurance requirements of Section 34631.5 of the Vehicle Code.

3.2 Deductibles and Self-Insured Retentions. 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 self-insured 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.

3.3 Other Insurance Requirements. The following provisions shall apply to the insurance policies required of Contractor under this Agreement:

3.3.1 For any claims related to this Agreement, Contractor’s coverage shall be 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.

3.3.2 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.

3.3.3 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.

3.3.4 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.

3.3.5 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.

W – Page 861 of 1230

Page 8 of 36 ends

3.3.6 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.

3.3.7 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.

3.3.8 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.

3.3.9 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.

3.3.10 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.

3.3.11 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.

3.3.12 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.

W – Page 862 of 1230

Page 9 of 36 ends

3.4 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.

3.5 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:

1. "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).

2. "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).

3. "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.

4. 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 ENFORCEMENT OF AGREEMENT

6.1 California Law and Venue. This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted 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.

6.2 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

W – Page 864 of 1230

Page 11 of 36 ends

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.

6.3 Default of Contractor. Contractor’s failure to comply with any provision of this Agreement shall constitute a default.

6.3.1 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 5.3.

6.3.2 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 the preceding subsection, 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 charges as otherwise allowed herein (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.

6.4 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.

6.5 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 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.

6.6 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.

6.7 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. To the extent authorized by law, in the event of a dismissal by the plaintiff or petitioner of the litigation or non-judicial proceeding within thirty (30) days of the date set for trial or hearing, the other Party shall be deemed to be the prevailing Party in such litigation or proceeding.

7.4 Reservation of Rights. Nothing herein shall be construed to limit or restrict the City’s authority under Section 11.82.150 of the City of Palm Springs Municipal Code, or any other provision of this Agreement, to suspend, revoke, or terminate this Agreement or to exercise any other remedy available at law or in equity.

No modification, amendment, addition to, deletion, or alteration of the terms of this Agreement, whether written or oral, shall be valid unless made in writing and formally approved and executed by all parties.

SCHEDULE OF COMPENSATION

1. Rates and VTACR Fee

1.1 In accordance with Sections 11.82.090 and 11.82.100 of the Palm Springs Municipal Code, and as authorized by California Vehicle Code Section 22850.5, the Vehicle Towing Administrative Cost Recovery (VTACR) Fee is imposed to recover the City’s actual and reasonable administrative costs associated with the enforcement, removal, storage, and release of impounded vehicles. These costs include overhead, personnel, and contract management expenses necessary to operate the official police tow services program. Pursuant to Resolution No. 25189, the City Council has reviewed and adopted a VTACR fee in the amount of $235.00 per tow, calculated based on the City's total annual administrative cost of $345,016.16.

Each official police tow services provider shall collect the VTACR fee at the time of vehicle release and remit payment to the City of Palm Springs no later than the 10th day of each month. The remittance shall include an itemized report detailing all vehicles towed under the program. The City may waive the VTACR fee in cases of abandoned vehicles, where neither the City nor the Contractor collects any towing or storage fees, and the Contractor avails itself of the Abandoned Vehicle Abatement Program, as set forth in Palm Springs Municipal Code Section 11.80.

The Tow Fee Schedule is adopted as follows:

Fee Schedule

1.2 When Contractor fails, neglects, or refuses to pay or remit the VTACR fee under this Section, or otherwise pays the VTACR fee, but later cancels or stops payment on it, and in either situation that payment or remittance is lawfully due or owing, the entire amount of the unpaid or non-remitted VTACR fee constitutes a debt to the City by Contractor, which the City may recover in a civil action. Failure to timely pay the VTACR shall also be deemed a material breach of this Agreement, and the City may terminate the Agreement as provided for herein.

1.3 “Dry Runs”: City shall not be liable to pay Contractor any charge whatsoever or fee for a call that does not result in a chargeable service being rendered by Contractor (i.e., a “dry run”). In the event that a vehicle towed or impounded in error due to an incorrect directive from the Department, Contractor shall, upon verification and direction by the Department, immediately release the vehicle to the registered owner without charge. Contractor shall wave all towing, storage, and administrative fees associated with the erroneous tow prior to release. Contractor shall maintain records of such waivers and provide documentation upon request by the Department.

1.4 Pursuant to Palm Springs Municipal Code Section 11.82.070(b), the City Council of the City shall establish the fee schedule for services to be provided under this Agreement. All charges for towing, impound, storage, and other services required to be performed by Contractor under the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall not exceed those charges adopted by City Council.

1.5 All rates and charges shall be conspicuously posted in the Contractor’s office and in all tow vehicles and shall be available for review by City personnel and/or persons for whom tow service is provided. All customer bills shall be itemized. It will be the Contractor’s responsibility to collect payment for services it renders under this Agreement from the motorists, and City shall not be responsible in any way whatsoever for payment of these charges.

1.6 Contractor shall accept a valid bank credit card or cash for payment of towing and storage by the registered owner, legal owner, or agent of the owner claiming the vehicle.

1.7 Department may waive the VTACR fee due to extenuating circumstances. It is not the intention of the City nor the Police Department to penalize victims.

Circumstances under which the VTACR fee may be waived include the impounding of recovered stolen or embezzled vehicles, and vehicles impounded due to driver injury or incapacitation.

1.8 In the event that a vehicle is towed or impounded in error due to an incorrect directive from the Department, Contractor shall, upon verification and direction by the Department, immediately release the vehicle to the registered owner without charge. Contractor shall waive all towing, storage, and administrative fees associated with the erroneous tow. The Department shall provide written or electronic authorization confirming the erroneous tow prior to release. Contractor

shall maintain records of such waivers and provide documentation upon request by the Department.

1.9 Whenever a motorist requests tow assistance and does not specify a particular tow company or membership agency, the service shall be assigned to the Contractor in accordance with the Department’s adopted rotational call-for-service system. All charges arising out of such assistance assigned to the Contractor shall be the exclusive responsibility of Contractor and the requesting motorist. The Department shall not be liable for any charges whatsoever arising out of a motorist assistance call. Contractor shall not charge such motorist more than the rates specified in this Agreement.
