Personal property is excluded from these limitations and is subject to annual reappraisal. Property taxes for general purposes cannot exceed 1% of the assessed value.

SUBJECT: ADOPTING THE APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026 – 2027 IMPLEMENTING ARTICLE XIII-B OF THE STATE CONSTITUTION PURSUANT TO SECTION 7900 ET. SEQ. OF THE GOVERNMENT
CODE

BACKGROUND
The California Constitution, Article XIII-B, commonly referred to as "Proposition 4: The Gann Appropriations Limit," requires the City to annually adopt an appropriations limit beyond which budgetary appropriation shall not be made. The appropriations limit can be adjusted each year to allow for increases in population, assessed value growth, and/or increases in per capita income.

DISCUSSION
The City has the option to annually increase the appropriation limit. This is done by choosing two of the following four variables and multiplying them to arrive at the allowed increase in appropriations. Within each of the two factors below, we may choose the variables that most benefit the City.

Factor 1

1. The percentage change in California per capita income, or

2. The percentage change in Paramount's assessed valuation due to new nonresidential construction.

Factor 2

1. The percentage change in Paramount's population, or

2. The percentage change in Los Angeles County's population.

For Fiscal Year 2026-27 we have chosen to use: 1) the percentage change in Paramount's assessed valuation due to new non-residential construction, and 2) the percentage change in Los Angeles County’s population. These variables allow us to increase our appropriations limit to $1,365,118,031. The amount of our tax proceed revenues subject to this limit is $ 41,585,453, which is under the appropriations limit.

TRINITY CONSULTANTS EXTENDED AGREEMENT Page 2

DISCUSSION
The City has maintained an air monitoring program since 2016 to provide data on local air conditions and to support transparency and community awareness. Transparency is enhanced with ongoing posting of air monitoring results on the following webpage:
https://paramountenvironment.org/air/
The program is intended to measure and monitor possible community pollutant exposure to hexavalent chromium and to ensure metal manufacturing and processing businesses are not emitting this pollutant at harmful levels.

To maintain continuity of services and complete program activities through the end of the Fiscal Year 2026-2027, staff is requesting a new air monitoring agreement for a total sum not to exceed $162,900. As noted, the City’s current contract with Trinity Consultants, Inc. is scheduled to expire on June 30, 2026.

FISCAL IMPACT
The total contract amount will not exceed $162,900.00, including taxes and fees, and will be appropriated in the General Fund in the Planning and Building Department for Fiscal Year (FY) 2026-27. The term of the Agreement is from July 1, 2026 to June 30, 2027.

Pursuant to Chapter 3.12 (Purchasing of Supplies and Equipment) of the Paramount Municipal Code, this acquisition is exempt from competitive bidding due to this being a professional service contract as specified in Section 3.12.080 of the Municipal Code.

VISION, MISSION, VALUES, AND STRATEGIC OUTCOMES
The City’s Vision, Mission, and Values set the standard for the organization, establish priorities, uniformity and guidelines; and provide the framework for policy decision making. The Strategic Outcomes were implemented to provide a pathway to achieving the City’s Vision. This item aligns with Strategic Outcome No 1: Safe Community - Provide a safe place to live, work, and visit. 4: Environmental Health - Promote, protect, and enhance a healthy, sustainably built, and natural environment. 6: Efficient, Effective, and Fiscally Responsible - Deliver an efficient and effective City government in a fiscally responsible, transparent and collaborative manner.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Approve the agreement with Trinity Consultants, Inc. for continued air monitoring for a period of one-year in a total amount not exceeding $162,900.00 with the option to extend the term of the agreement for up to three additional months by written, mutual consent, and authorize the Mayor to execute the agreement.

Consultant's obligation to indemnify shall not be restricted to insurance proceeds, if any, received by Consultant, or by the City or any of the other Indemnitees. Consultant’s duty to indemnify and hold harmless City shall not extend to the City’s sole or active negligence or willful misconduct. b. For Design Professional Services: If Consultant’s Services hereunder include the performance of professional services by a “design professional,” as the term is defined under California Civil Code § 2782.8(c), then to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Paramount PSA_Prof Liability (January 2025) 6
Consultant shall, at its sole cost and expense, indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnitees, and each of them, from and against any and all damages, costs, expenses, liabilities, claims, demands, causes of action, proceedings, judgments, penalties, liens, and losses of any nature whatsoever, including fees of accountants and other professionals, and all costs associated therewith, and reimbursement of attorneys’ fees and costs of defense, whether actual, alleged or threatened, to the extent arising out of, pertaining to, or relating to, in whole or in part, the negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct of the Consultant, and/or its officers, agents, servants, employees, subcontractors, contractors or their officers, agents, servants or employees (or any entity or individual for whom the Consultant shall bear legal liability) in the performance of design professional services under this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing and as required by Civil Code § 2782.8(a), in no event shall the cost to defend the Indemnitees that is charged to Consultant, exceed Consultant’s proportionate percentage of fault. Consultant’s duty to indemnify and hold harmless City shall not extend to the City’s sole or active negligence or willful misconduct.
c. The provisions of this Section 13 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

14. California Labor Code Requirements.
a. Consultant is aware of the requirements of California Labor Code Sections 1720, et seq. and 1770, et seq., which require the payment of prevailing wages 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 $1,000 or more, Consultant agrees to fully comply with the Prevailing Wage Laws. These rates are on file with the City Clerk or may be obtained at: http://www.dir.ca.gov/OPRL/DPreWageDetermination.htm. (i) Copies of the prevailing wage rates may be obtained at cost at the City Clerk's office. Consultant shall post a copy of such wage rates at the job site and shall pay the adopted prevailing wage rates as a minimum. Consultant shall comply with the provisions of Sections 1775, 1776, 1777.5, 1777.6, and 1813 of the Labor Code. Pursuant to the provisions of 1775 of the Labor Code, Consultant shall forfeit to the City, as a penalty, not more than $200.00 for each calendar day, or portion thereof, for each laborer, worker, or mechanic employed, paid less than the stipulated prevailing rates for any work done under this Agreement, by them or by any subcontractor under them, in violation of the provisions of this Agreement. (ii) Consultant 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 Consultant and all subcontractors to comply with all California Labor Code provisions, which include but are not limited to prevailing wages (Labor Code Sections 1771, 1774 and 1775), employment of apprentices (Labor Code Section 1777.5), certified payroll records (Labor Code Sections 1771.4 and 1776), hours of labor (Labor Code Sections 1813 and 1815) and debarment of contractors and subcontractors (Labor Paramount PSA_Prof Liability (January 2025) 7
Code Section 1777.1). The requirement to submit certified payroll records directly to the Labor Commissioner under Labor Code Section 1771.4 shall not apply to work performed on a public works project that is exempt pursuant to the small project exemption specified in Labor Code Section 1771.4. b. If the Services are being performed as part of an applicable “public works” or “maintenance” project, then pursuant to Labor Code Sections 1725.5 and 1771.1, the Consultant and all subcontractors performing such Services must be registered with the Department of Industrial Relations. Consultant shall maintain registration for the duration of this Agreement and require the same of any subcontractors, as applicable.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the contractor registration requirements mandated by Labor Code Sections 1725.5 and 1771.1 shall not apply to work performed on a public works project that is exempt pursuant to the small project exemption specified in Labor Code Sections 1725.5 and 1771.1.
c. This Agreement may also be subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the Department of Industrial Relations. It shall be Consultant’s sole responsibility to comply with all applicable registration and labor compliance requirements. Any stop orders issued by the Department of Industrial Relations against Consultant or any subcontractor that affect Consultant’s performance of the Services, including any delay, shall be Consultant’s sole responsibility. Any delay arising out of or resulting from such stop orders shall be considered Consultant caused delay and shall not be compensable by the City. Consultant shall defend, indemnify and hold the City, its officials, officers, employees and agents free and harmless from any claim or liability arising out of stop orders issued by the Department of Industrial Relations against Consultant or any subcontractor.

15. Data Security.
a. As used in this Agreement, “City Data” means any and all information and data provided or made accessible, directly or indirectly, to Consultant by City, or otherwise acquired from City, in connection with Consultant’s performance of the Services. As between the Consultant and the City, any and all City Data is solely owned by City.

Consultant is granted a limited, non-exclusive, and revocable license to use City Data solely as necessary to perform the Services. At no time shall Consultant use City Data for its own purposes, or sell, disclose or disseminate City Data, except as required by law or to provide the Services. At all times herein, Consultant shall protect and maintain the security of City Data using methods providing not less than the level of security Consultant uses for its own confidential data, and that otherwise comply with recognized industry data security standards applicable to similar kinds of governmental data and information.
b. To the extent any City Data consists of personal information as defined in the California Consumer Privacy Act (Civil Code Section 1798.100, et seq.), Consultant shall comply with that statute and with Civil Code Section 1798.80. et seq., including providing the required notifications in the event of any unauthorized access or disclosure of personal information stored, maintained, accessed, used or transmitted by Consultant in connection with this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Consultant shall within 24 hours notify the City Representative by telephone and in Paramount PSA_Prof Liability (January 2025) 8
writing of any unauthorized access of City Data. Thereafter, Consultant shall render any assistance to City and law enforcement as necessary to ascertain the nature and extent of such unauthorized access.
c. Consultant shall not store City Data using cloud-based storage without City’s prior, written consent, unless the use of such storage is clearly described in the Scope of Services. Where permitted herein, any and all cloud-based storage shall be on servers and other hardware located within the continental United States, and shall be in compliance with ISO/IEC 27001 - 27018, as applicable, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the City Representative. Cloud storage using Amazon Web Service or Microsoft Azure shall be deemed to satisfy the requirements of this subsection (c).

16. Confidential Information
Consultant understands and agrees that, in the performance of the Services under this Agreement or in contemplation thereof, Consultant may have access to private or confidential information which may be owned or controlled by the City and that, if disclosed to third parties, could be damaging to the City. Consultant agrees that all City information and data provided to or made accessible to Consultant by City shall be held in confidence and disclosed only as needed in performance of this Agreement, or as required by law.

Consultant shall exercise the same standard of care to protect such information as a reasonably prudent consultant would use to protect its own confidential and/or proprietary information and data.

17. Laws and Venue.

This Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California without regard for conflicts of laws rules. If any action is brought to interpret or enforce any term of this Agreement, the action shall be brought in a state or federal court situated in the County of Los Angeles, State of California.

18. Termination.

not be entitled to damages or compensation resulting from such termination of the Services.

Except as otherwise provided in Section 18, “Termination”, above, and unless otherwise agreed upon in writing, all draft and final reports, documents, and other written material, and any and all images, ideas, concepts, designs including website designs, source code, object code, electronic data and files, and/or other media whatsoever created or developed by Consultant in the performance of this Agreement (collectively, “Work Product”) shall be considered to be “works made for hire” for the benefit of City. All Work Product and any and all intellectual property rights arising from their creation, including, but not limited to, all copyrights and other proprietary rights, shall be and remain the property of City without restriction or limitation upon their use, duplication or dissemination by City upon final payment being made or termination of the Agreement by City, provided that any such use shall be at City’s sole risk.

Consultant shall bear all costs arising from the use of patented, copyrighted, trade secret or trademarked documents, materials, equipment, devices or processes in connection with its provision of the Work Product produced under this Agreement. In the event the use of any of the Work Product or other deliverables hereunder by City is held to constitute an infringement and the use of any of the same is enjoined, Consultant, at its expense, shall: (a) secure for City the right to continue using the Work Product and other deliverables by suspension of any injunction, or by procuring a license or licenses for City; or (b) modify the Work Product and other deliverables so that they Paramount PSA_Prof Liability (January 2025) 10
become non-infringing while remaining in compliance with the requirements of this Agreement. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

2. Types of Insurance Required. As a condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement for work to be performed hereunder, and without limiting the indemnity provisions of the Agreement, the Consultant, in partial performance of its obligations under such Agreement, shall procure and maintain in full force and effect during the term of the Agreement the following policies of insurance. If the existing policies do not meet the insurance requirements set forth herein, Consultant agrees to amend, supplement or endorse the policies to do so.

A. Commercial General Liability: Commercial General Liability Insurance which affords coverage at least as broad as Insurance Services Office “occurrence" form CG 0001, or the exact equivalent, with limits of not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence and no less than $2,000,000 in the general aggregate. Defense costs shall be paid in addition to the limits. The policy shall contain no endorsements or provisions (1) limiting coverage for contractual liability; (2) excluding coverage for claims or suits by one insured against another (cross-liability); or (3) containing any other exclusion(s) contrary to the terms or purposes of this Agreement.

B. Workers' Compensation: Workers' Compensation Insurance, as required by the State of California and Employer's Liability Insurance with a limit of not less than $1,000,000 per accident for bodily injury and disease.

C. Professional Liability (Errors & Omissions): Consultant shall maintain professional liability insurance that covers the services to be performed in connection with this Agreement, in the minimum amount of $1,000,000 per claim and in the aggregate. Any policy inception date, continuity date, or retroactive date must be before the effective date of this Agreement. If a “claims-made” policy is provided, it shall include an extended reporting period of not less than three (3) years.

D. Commercial Automobile Liability Insurance: Consultant shall maintain automobile insurance at least as broad as Insurance Services Office form CA 00 01 covering bodily injury and property damage for all activities of the Consultant arising out of or in connection with Work to be performed under this Agreement, including coverage for any owned, hired, non-owned, or rented vehicles, in an amount not less than 1,000,000 combined single limit for each accident.

Paramount PSA_Prof Liability (January 2025) Exhibit C - 2 F. For Commercial General Liability and Commercial Automobile Liability (CGL Coverage):

The City will be named as an additional insured, under the commercial general liability (“CGL”) insurance policy coverage, for all liability arising out of the operations by or on behalf of the named insured, and this CGL policy protects the additional insured, its officers, agents and employees against liability for personal and bodily injuries, deaths or property damage or destruction arising in any respect, directly or indirectly, in the performance of the contract.
(i) Each such CGL policy shall be endorsed with the following language: The City of Paramount, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees and volunteers are included as insureds with regard to damages and defense of claims arising from: (a) activities performed by or on behalf of the Named Insured, including the insured's general supervision of the Named Insured, (b) products and completed operations of the Named Insured, or (c) premises owned, leased or used by the Named Insured. (ii) This CGL policy shall be considered primary insurance as respects the City, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, agents and volunteers. Any insurance maintained by the City, including any self-insured retention the City may have, shall be considered excess insurance only and shall not contribute with it. (iii) The inclusion of more than one insured shall not operate to impair the rights of one insured against another insured, and the coverages afforded shall apply as though separate policies had been issued to each insured.
(iv)The Additional Insured coverage under the Consultant’s policy shall be primary and non-contributory and will not seek contribution from the City’s insurance or selfinsurance and shall be at least as broad as CG 20 01 04 13.

G. Deductibles and Self-Insured Retentions: Any self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by City. City reserves the right to require that self-insured retentions be eliminated, lowered, or replaced by a deductible, or require proof of ability to pay losses and related investigations, claim administration, and defense expenses within the retention.

3. Waiver of Subrogation. All policies of Commercial General Liability, Commercial Automobile Liability, and Worker’s Compensation shall specifically allow Consultant or others providing insurance evidence in compliance with these specifications to waive their right of recovery prior to a loss. Consultant hereby waives its own right of recovery against the City, its officials, officers, employees, and agents to the extent of such coverage.

4. Evidence of Insurance. The Consultant shall deliver redacted copies of the required policies or original certificates of insurance and redacted or specimen endorsements issued by their insurer. The Consultant and its insurer are solely responsible for ensuring that the required insurance complies with this Agreement and provides adequate coverage for all services performed. The Consultant shall procure insurance policies that meet the stated standards.

At least fifteen (15) days before any policy expires, or within a reasonable time after policy renewal, the Consultant shall provide evidence of renewal or replacement coverage. If any Paramount PSA_Prof Liability (January 2025) Exhibit C - 3 policy is canceled or reduced, the Consultant must file evidence of reinstatement or replacement coverage within ten (10) days of receipt of written notice of the change.

The City may request copies of insurance policies and endorsements for informational purposes only, without assuming any obligation to verify compliance or adequacy.

5. Failure to Maintain Coverage. In the event any policy of insurance required under this Agreement does not comply with these specifications or is canceled and not replaced immediately so as to avoid a lapse in the required coverage, City has the right but not the duty to obtain the insurance it deems necessary and any premium paid by City will be promptly reimbursed by Consultant or City will withhold amounts sufficient to pay premium from Consultant payments. In the alternative, City may cancel this Agreement effective upon notice.

6. Acceptability of Insurers. Each such policy shall be from a company or companies with a current A.M. Best's rating of no less than A- VII and authorized to transact business of insurance in the State of California, or otherwise allowed to place insurance through surplus line brokers under applicable provisions of the California Insurance Code or any federal law.

7. Enforcement of Agreement Provisions (non-estoppel). Consultant acknowledges and agrees that actual or alleged failure on the part of the City to inform Consultant of noncompliance with any requirement imposes no additional obligation on the City nor does it waive any rights hereunder.

8. Requirements Not Limiting. Requirement of specific coverage or minimum limits contained in this Agreement are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits, or other requirement, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any insurance.

Paramount, CA 90723
Subject: Proposal to conduct Hexavalent Chromium Monitoring for the City of Paramount July 2026 through July 2027.

Dear Mr. King:

Trinity Consultants (Trinity) is pleased to submit the following proposal in response to the request from The City of Paramount to continue the current, ongoing hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) monitoring in the City of Paramount. Trinity (formerly T&B Systems) has been conducting Cr(VI) and meteorological monitoring for the City of Paramount since September 2021 and this proposal provides estimated costs for an additional year of monitoring from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027.

WORK SCOPE

1. Trinity will continue the ambient air monitoring program intended to measure community exposure to Cr(VI) and ensure that metal-related businesses emitting Cr(VI) are not releasing pollutants at harmful levels. The monitoring program will continue to consist of integrated 24-hour samples every six days (1- in-6) at up to six (6) community sites approved by Paramount. Filter analysis will continue to be performed by Alliance Technical Group - Chester LabNet (CLN), with expedited analysis to allow for timely posting of results to the community.

2. A strong quality control (QC) program is central to meeting the Cr(VI) monitoring objectives. Routine 6- day site visits will include visual site inspections; diagnosis, and repair of equipment problems; verification of sampler clock accuracy and sample runtimes; sensor replacement as needed; routine operational maintenance; and documentation and reporting of all issues and resolutions to project management. Sampler flowrates will be verified during each site visit using a flowrate calibrator that is certified on an annual basis. Chain-of-custody (COC) forms will be completed during each 6-day visit and submitted to CLN. The meteorological system will be calibrated on a semi-annual schedule.

3. Data collected from this air monitoring program will continue to be made available through the City of Paramount public environmental website (https://paramountenvironment.org/air/) to inform the community about the levels of Cr(VI) in the air that they breath

4. Quarterly community meetings are anticipated for the contract period. These meetings are designed to provide status updates and monitoring results to the community.
