It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, approve the award of a Design Services Agreement with RHA Landscape Architects Planners, Inc. in the amount of $183,465 for the revitalization of Guadalupe Field at Sal Saavedra Park.

Background
The Public Works Department is responsible for maintaining all City parks. Sal Saavedra Park, located at 780 N Roberds Avenue, is a City-owned 2.3 acre park that includes a baseball field with a concession stand, score keeper area, restroom facilities, and parking lot.

On June 1, 2022, the Mayor and City Council adopted Resolution No. 2022-102 approving the Fiscal Year 2023 and Fiscal Year 2024 Operating Budget and Capital Improvement Program 2023-2027. The budget included CIP Project for Guadalupe Field Upgrades (“Project”). Funding to support the Project has been established in the amount of $995,000 in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA/County) funding.

The proposed improvements include roof, facia replacement of concession stand/restroom facility, ADA improvements, replacement of infill material at the baseball field, netting around the field, dugout and walkway improvements, irrigation and lighting improvements at Guadalupe Field at Sal Saavedra Park.

Recently, staff solicited for professional design services to prepare project plans, specifications and estimates (bid package). Award of these professional design Packet Pg. 824
services is the next step to move forward with the implementation of this project.

Discussion
On April 10, 2023, a Request for Proposals (RFP) for design services was released on the City’s Planetbids portal. On May 10, 2023, one proposal was received by the following firm:

Firm Location
RHA Landscape Architects
Planners, Inc. Riverside, CA
The proposal by RHA Landscape Architects Planners, Inc. was reviewed in conformance with RFP requirements, including firm experience, project personnel qualifications, past experience in dealing with firm, depth of understanding the project requirements and completeness of information submitted. RHA has extensive experience and successfully completed similar projects for numerous cities statewide. Furthermore, RHA currently works as the design consultant for Nicholson Neighborhood Park and Seccombe Lake Park Revitalization projects and has provided satisfactory performance.

Staff determined RHA’s proposal demonstrates the capability to provide design services for Guadalupe Field at Sal Saavedra Park Revitalization Project. Staff negotiated the proposed scope and fees for the project with RHA and reduced the fees by $23,980 to the negotiated amount of $183,465. Staff recommends approval of the award of a design services agreement with RHA Landscape Architects Planners, Inc. in the negotiated amount of $183,465 for the revitalization of Guadalupe Field at Sal Saavedra Park.

There is no General Fund impact associated with this action. Project budget for the proposed work was previously established through American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA/County) funding approved FY 2022/23 in the amount of $995,000. The professional services provided under this contract will total $183,465 and is available to fund the complete design cost.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
This project is consistent with Key Target No.4: Economic Growth & Development.

Completion of this project will improve park assets by providing ADA compliant recreational features, upgrade restroom facilities, and restore irrigation and lighting systems to provide a safe and well-maintained community park.

Fiscal Impact
There is no General Fund impact associated with this action. Funding was previously established and exists in the project for the proposed work.

Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, Packet Pg. 825
California, approve the award of a Design Services Agreement with RHA Landscape Architects Planners, Inc. in the amount of $183,465 for the revitalization of Guadalupe Field at Sal Saavedra Park.

These requirements do not apply to the purchases of supplies or materials or articles ordinarily available on the open market, or contracts for transportation or transmission of intelligence.

H. Davis-Bacon Act, as amended (40 U.S.C. Sections 3141-3148). When required by Federal program legislation, all prime construction contracts in excess of $2,000 awarded by non-Federal entities must include a provision for compliance with the Davis-Bacon Act (40 U.S.C. Sections 3141-3148) as supplemented by Department of Labor regulations (29 C.F.R. Part 5, “Labor Standards Provisions Applicable to Contracts Covering Federally Financed and Assisted Construction”). In accordance with the statute, contractors must be required to pay wages to laborers and mechanics at a rate not less than the prevailing wages specified in a wage determination made by the Secretary of Labor. In addition, contractors must be required to pay wages not less than once a week. The non-Federal contractor must place a copy of the current prevailing wage determination issued by the Department of Labor in each solicitation. The decision to award a contract or subcontract must be conditioned upon the acceptance of the wage determination.

Section 3145), as supplemented by Department of Labor regulations (29 C.F.R. Part 3, “Contractors and Subcontractors on Public Building or Public Work Financed in Whole or in Part by Loans or Grants from the United States”). The Act provides that each contractor or subrecipient must be prohibited from inducing, by any means, any person employed in the construction, completion, or repair of public work, to give up any part of the compensation to which he or she is otherwise entitled. The non-Federal contractor must report all suspected or reported violations to the Federal awarding agency. i. The Contractor and all Subcontractors and Sub-subcontractors are required to pay their employees and workers a wage not less than the minimum wage for the work classification as specified in both the Federal and California wage decisions. See Section 3.10.6 “Prevailing Wages” for additional information regarding California Prevailing Wage Rate Requirements and the applicable general prevailing wage determinations which are on file with the City and are available to any interested party on request. The higher of the two applicable wage determinations, either California prevailing wage or Davis-Bacon Federal prevailing wage, will be enforced for all applicable work/services under this Contract.

Such action shall include, but not be 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. The contractor agrees to post in conspicuous places, available to employees and applicants for employment, notices to be provided setting forth the provisions of this nondiscrimination clause.

(3) The contractor will not discharge or in any other manner discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because such employee or applicant has inquired about, discussed, or disclosed the compensation of the employee or applicant or another employee or applicant. This provision shall not apply to instances in which an employee who has access to the compensation information of other employees or applicants as a part of such employee's essential job functions discloses the compensation of such other employees or applicants to individuals who do not otherwise have access to such information, unless such disclosure is in response to a formal complaint or charge, in furtherance of an investigation, proceeding, hearing, or action, including an investigation conducted by the employer, or is consistent with the contractor's legal duty to furnish information.
(4) The contractor will send to each labor union or representative of workers with which he has a collective bargaining agreement or other contract or understanding, a notice to be provided advising the said labor union or workers' representatives of the contractor's commitments under this section, and shall post copies of the notice in conspicuous places available to employees and applicants for employment.

(7) In the event of the contractor's noncompliance with the nondiscrimination clauses of this contract or with any of the said rules, regulations, or orders, this contract may be canceled, terminated, or suspended in whole or in part and the contractor may be declared ineligible for further Government contracts or federally assisted construction contracts in accordance with procedures authorized in Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, and such other sanctions may be imposed and remedies invoked as provided in Executive Packet Pg. 874

The contractor will take such action with respect to any subcontract or purchase order as the administering agency may direct as a means of enforcing such provisions, including sanctions for noncompliance:

Provided, however, that in the event a contractor becomes involved in, or is threatened with, litigation with a subcontractor or vendor as a result of such direction by the administering agency, the contractor may request the United States to enter into such litigation to protect the interests of the United States.

The applicant further agrees that it will be bound by the above equal opportunity clause with respect to its own employment practices when it participates in federally assisted construction work: Provided, That if the applicant so participating is a State or local government, the above equal opportunity clause is not applicable to any agency, instrumentality or subdivision of such government which does not participate in work on or under the contract.

The applicant agrees that it will assist and cooperate actively with the administering agency and the Secretary of Labor in obtaining the compliance of contractors and subcontractors with the equal opportunity clause and the rules, regulations, and relevant orders of the Secretary of Labor, that it will furnish the administering agency and the Secretary of Labor such information as they may require for the supervision of such compliance, and that it will otherwise assist the administering agency in the discharge of the agency's primary responsibility for securing compliance.

The applicant further agrees that it will refrain from entering into any contract or contract modification subject to Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, with a contractor debarred from, or who has not demonstrated eligibility for, Government contracts and federally assisted construction contracts pursuant to the Executive Order and will carry out such sanctions and penalties for violation of the equal opportunity clause as may be imposed upon contractors and subcontractors by the administering agency or the Secretary of Labor pursuant to Part II, Subpart D of the Executive Order. In addition, the applicant agrees that if it fails or refuses to comply with these undertakings, the administering agency may take any or all of the following actions: Cancel, terminate, or suspend in whole or in part this grant (contract, loan, insurance, guarantee); refrain from extending any further assistance to the applicant under the program with respect to which the failure or refund occurred until satisfactory assurance of future compliance has been received from such applicant; and refer the case to the Department of Justice for appropriate legal proceedings.

City of San Bernardino
Request for Council Action
Date: June 21, 2023
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Charles E. McNeely, Interim City Manager;
Daniel Hernandez, Agency Director of Public Works,
Operations, and Maintenance
Department: Public Works
Subject: Award Design Services Agreement for Speicher
Memorial Park Ballfield Improvements (Ward 2)
Recommendation:

It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, approve the award of a Design Services Agreement with IDS Group, Inc. in the amount of $180,943 for Speicher Memorial Park Ballfield Improvements.

Background
The Public Works Department is responsible for maintaining all City parks. Speicher Park, located at 1535 Arden Avenue is a City-owned 29-acre park facility, which includes five baseball fields, parking lots, bleachers and concession stand building.

On June 1, 2022, the Mayor and City Council approved Resolution No. 2022-102 adopting the City’s Annual Operating Budget for Fiscal Year 2022/23. The budget included CIP Project for Speicher Memorial Park Ballfield Improvements (“Project”).

Funding to support the Project has been established in the amount of $950,000 in San Manuel Mission Indians grant and $1,000,000 in American Rescue Plan (ARP/County) funding, for a total amount of $1,950,000.

On March 1, 2023, the Mayor and City Council approved Resolution No. 2023-036 rejecting construction bids for Speicher Park Renovation. Since the City received only one construction bid and the received bid amount was significantly above the Engineer’s overall estimate, Public Works staff recommended that the City Council reject the bid submitted for the subject project and allow staff to re-evaluate the project, coordinating with the Parks and Recreations Department to revise the scope of work to stay within the available budget.

The proposed improvements include the installation of a new synthetic turf baseball Packet Pg. 881
field system (including drainage) at Huchabaa Field; the replacement of sod and infill materials at Montgomery and Mason Fields and irrigation system improvements; upgrading existing lighting system with LED at all fields; the replacement of bleachers at the northern fields (Montgomery, Mason and Huchabaa); the installation of new score boards, trash receptables, and water fountains at all fields; parking lot rehabilitation, striping and accessibility improvements, and other related improvements at Speicher Park.

Recently, staff solicited for professional design services to prepare project plans, specifications and estimates (bid package). Award of these professional design services is the next step to move forward with the implementation of this project.

Discussion
Staff re-evaluated the proposed project scope and coordinated with the Parks and Recreations Department and revised the proposed scope to stay within the overall project budget. The proposed revised project scope limits the installation of a synthetic turf baseball field system including new drainage improvements only at Huchabaa Field, in order to stay within the project budget. The other 4 baseball fields (Montgomery, Mason, O’Grady and Gurule Fields) at Speicher Park will be replaced with sod and infill materials on the existing fields, as a cost saving measure. The other improvements will remain as per the original scope and will be finalized during the design phase. The detailed engineer’s estimate along with the project plans and specifications will be developed during the design phase. Based on the detailed estimate prepared, staff will finalize the scope and coordinate construction bid advertisement.

On April 26, 2023, a Request for Proposals (RFP) for design services was released on the City’s Planetbids portal. On May 25, 2023, four proposals were received by the following firms:

Firm Location
Community Works Design Group (CWDG) Riverside, CA
IDS Group Inc. Irvine, CA
RHA Landscape Architects Planners, Inc. Riverside, CA
Verde Design, Inc. Riverside, CA
Proposals were reviewed in conformance with RFP requirements, including firm experience, project personnel qualifications, past experience in dealing with the firm, their depth of understanding the project requirements and the completeness of information submitted. IDS Group, Inc. has extensive experience and successfully completed similar projects for numerous cities Statewide.

Staff determined IDS Group, Inc.’s proposal demonstrates the capability to provide design services for Speicher Memorial Park Ballfield Improvements Project. Staff recommends approval of the award of a design services agreement in the amount Packet Pg. 882
of $180,943 for Speicher Memorial Park Ballfield Improvements Project.

It is anticipated that the project design phase will be completed by January 2024, and construction phase will be completed by end of December 2024.

Project budget for the proposed work was previously established in the amount of $950,000 in San Manuel Mission Indians grant and $1,000,000 in American Rescue Plan (ARP/County) funding, for a total amount of $1,950,000. The professional services provided under the design contract will total $180,943 and is available to fund the complete design cost.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
This project is consistent with Key Target No.4: Economic Growth & Development.

Completion of this project will improve park assets by providing ADA compliant recreational features, upgrade park facilities, and restore irrigation and lighting systems to provide a safe and well-maintained community park.

Fiscal Impact
There is no General Fund impact associated with this action. Funding was previously established and exists in the project for the proposed work.

Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, approve the award of a Design Services Agreement with IDS Group, Inc. in the amount of $180,943 for Speicher Memorial Park Ballfield Improvements.

SECTION 3. The Director of Finance is hereby authorized to issue a Purchase Order in the total amount of $180,943 from the American Rescue Plan (ARP/County) Project Fund No. 008-160-8975-5504.

SECTION 4. As the decision-making body for the project, the City Council has reviewed and considered the information contained in the administrative record for the proposed project.

Failure by City to deduct any sums from a progress payment shall not constitute a waiver of the City’s right to such sums. The City may keep any moneys which would otherwise be payable at any time hereunder and apply the same, or so much as may be necessary therefor, to the payment of any expenses, losses, or damages as determined by the City, incurred by the City for which Designer is liable under the Agreement or state law. Payments to the Designer for compensation and reimbursable expenses due shall not be contingent on the construction, completion or ultimate success of the Project.

CONSENT CALENDAR
City of San Bernardino
Request for Council Action
Date: June 21, 2023
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Charles E. McNeely, Interim City Manager;
Daniel Hernandez, Agency Director of Public Works,
Operations, and Maintenance
Department: Public Works
Subject: Task Order Issued to Transtech Engineers for Augmented Engineering Services Pursuant to Professional Service
Agreement for On-Call Engineering Services (All Wards)
Recommendation:

It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, approve a Task Order Transtech002 to Transtech Engineers to provide augmented Capital Improvement Program Programmatic Services pursuant to the approved Professional Services Agreement (PSA) for On-Call Engineering Services and authorize the Agency Director of Administrative Services to issue a purchase order in the amount of $488,880.

Background
November 16, 2022, the City Council approved a standard Professional Service Agreement with 24 Engineering firms to provide the following services:
• Street Construction Projects that will require DOT Traffic Control Designs • Storm Drain Projects
• Wastewater Projects
• Structural Design and Construction Projects
• Environmental Consulting
• Geotechnical Engineering Investigation
• Surveying Services
• Landscaping Design
• Construction Inspection and Construction Management
Packet Pg. 944
• Architecture
• Civil Engineering
• Mechanical Engineering
• Electrical Engineering
• Plumbing Engineering
• Project Management/Staff Augmentation
The selection of the firms was based on each consultant meeting the pre-qualified requirements, licensing, and certifications without being debarred, suspended, or ineligible from bidding or accepting work from any State of California or Federal contracts.

On February 15, 2023, the City Council approved TaskOrder001 to Transtech Engineers to provide Capital Improvement Program Programmatic Services in the amount of $135,380 FY 22/23 (approximately 2.5 months of services).

On June 7, 2023, the City Council approved Amendment No. 1 (23 of 24 firms) and Amendment No. 2 (Willdan) to align the PSAs to the City’s current procurement policy. The original PSA for On-Call Pre-Qualified Engineering Services was approved, which was prior to the adoption of the new Purchasing Policy and increased spending authority threshold. Amendment No. 1 and No. 2 increases the per task order not-to-exceed amount to $100,000, aligning the original agreements with the City’s current Municipal Code, Section 3.04.040 (Approval Authority). Per Amendment No. 1 and No. 2, any task order above $100,000 must be approved by the City Council, as required by the Municipal Code.

Discussion
With a high volume of CIP projects, the need to develop an efficient and robust CIP is critical to the delivery and success of the program. Many cities within San Bernardino County use a combination of in-house staff and consultants for program delivery. Due to the high volume of projects and the challenges in staff recruitment, the Public Works Department seeks to model this approach to improve the City’s current CIP program.

While critical positions, such as the Principal Engineer and the City Engineer are filled, staff seeks to issue a task order (Attachment 1-Exhibit B) pursuant to the approved PSA to provide professional engineering and program management services related to implementing the City’s CIP. This will allow the department to continue strengthening the CIP program while recruiting and onboarding key staff members.

The initial goal for the first task order was to establish a CIP management system that included project information, tasks, schedules, and milestone tracking. The intent of the new task order is to continue developing the CIP management system while ensuring critical projects such as CDBG and ARPA funded projects are completed within the funding deadlines.

While Engineering Management works diligently to on-board and recruit staff, Packet Pg. 945
management, along with Transtech, has established a structure for the CIP and is creating the bandwidth to effectively manage the City’s 5-year CIP. Below are highlights accomplished within the last 3 months.
• Evaluated City’s CIP program, which includes approximately 145 projects in the amount of $170m.
• Established and maintained a structured CIP management system including project information, tasks, schedules and milestone tracking. • Conducted various training sessions with City staff including CIP project management, coordination, construction management, office engineering, document control, review of construction standards, plans, specifications and other technical documents.
• Reviewed various grant funded projects including ARPA, County ARPA, CDBG, Clean California, and other special grants, identified grant requirements, timelines, deadlines, scope of work, budget, and prepared an action plan for these projects.

All of the special funded projects are currently in various stages of planning, design procurement, concept design or final design, moving towards the construction phase, and on target to meet the grant deadlines.
• Prepared grant applications in the amount of $10m, including Building Forward Library Grant application (fund amount $6.3M) and the Clean California Round 2 Grant application (fund amount $3.8M).
• Prepared a value engineering/biddability review for the recently rejected construction bids due to funding issues, projects including 21 Streets Rehabilitation Project and Speicher Park Ball Field Improvements, and re-packaged both projects to re-advertise.
• Coordinated a construction change order for an unforeseen condition at Paul Villaseñor Library due to existing termite and mold at the facility in order to start the construction activities at the library. Scheduled meetings with contractor, reviewed and finalized the construction change order and proposed solution to proceed with construction activities.
• Installed a temporary access road for the damaged bridge at Cross Street bridge under emergency conditions within 48 hours to provide access to the residents and maintain City services to this area. Currently coordinating a bridge replacement project under emergency provisions to provide permanent access by end of 2023.
• Started planning (design procurement) on 35 projects, started design phase on 15 projects, started construction on 10 projects, and completed project closeout on 21 projects.
• Approximately 60 projects are now in various development stages moving forward to construction phase.

Although the CIP programmatic staff augmentation has been effective, Engineering Management anticipates this to be a temporary staffing model to handle the high Packet Pg. 946
demand of projects. As staffing increases and is given adequate time to familiarize themselves with the City, the department, and the capital projects, staff augmentation for programmatic services will be reduced, and the staffing model for augmented services will move towards CIP project-specific tasks, such as Project Management.

The proposed task order is planned to end on June 30, 2024 (end of FY 23/24). 2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
This task order is consistent with Key Target No. 1f: Improved Operational and Financial Capacity - Create an asset management plan. Approval of this comprehensive and formal approach will support the City with the long-term management of capital assets and provide strategic practices to effectively deliver community benefits and economic growth.

Fiscal Impact
The recommended task order total is within the Public Works Department proposed FY 23/24 budget. The budget for the proposed work will be established in account number 001-400-0001*5502.

Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, approve a Task Order Transtech002 to Transtech Engineers to provide augmented Capital Improvement Program Programmatic Services pursuant to the approved Professional Services Agreement (PSA) for On-Call Engineering Services and authorize the Agency Director of Administrative Services to issue a purchase order in the amount of $488,880.
