Request for Council Action
Date: February 21, 2024
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Charles A. Montoya, City Manager
Rolland Kornblau, Director of Technology
Department: Public Works
Subject: Request for Purchase Authorization for network Refresh (All Wards)
Recommendation:

It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California:

1. Authorize the City Manager to execute a Goods Purchase Agreement with Sehi Computer Products, Inc. for purchasing network hardware using the NASPO contract, as approved for funding through the FY 2023/24 Operating Budget:

2. Authorize the Director of Finance to issue a purchase order in the amount not to exceed $640,000 to Sehi Computer Products, Inc.

Executive Summary
A purchase order not to exceed $600,000 is requested for the purchase of network hardware. The equipment is necessary to improve the City‘s network speed and resilience as it will replace end-of-life hardware. Funding for this purchase was authorized by the City Council as part of the Strategic Targets and Goals (Improved Operational & Financial Capacity). This project began with the replacement of Firewalls and Core Switches as approved in Resolution No. 2022-54. This project will continue with replacing the remaining switches and wireless in VANIR, 201 E Street, Facilities, Animal Services, and Public Safety.

Background
The Information Technology Department is responsible for the maintenance, repair, Packet Page. 399
and function of City-owned network hardware. The Mayor and City Council approved a budget in Resolution No. 2022-44 to begin the process of upgrading the network hardware in the City. Newer equipment is needed to complete the upgrade. This equipment will allow 10 GB speed within City buildings. As more services are provided by Cloud Computing, the City must upgrade its infrastructure.

Discussion
Information Technology is proposing to complete the network hardware upgrade that began shortly after budget approval in March 2022. The City needs to upgrade network switches and wireless in VANIR, Public Safety, 201 E Street, Facilities, and Animal Services buildings. Quotes were generated from 3 vendors. Sehi was selected as they submitted the lowest price using the NASPO (National Association of State Procurement Officials) contract.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
This project is aligned with Key Target No. 1: Improved Operational & Financial Capacity. Approval of this purchase will reduce the risk of potential outages of the network and improve the speed.

Fiscal Impact
The General Fund impact is $600,000 and is appropriated in the FY2023/24 budget. The purchase order amount of $600,000 will allow for the purchase of network equipment to replace hardware at VANIR, Public Safety, 201 E Street, Facilities and Animal Services
Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California:

1. Authorize the City Manager to execute a Goods Purchase Agreement with Sehi Computer Products, Inc. for purchasing network hardware using the NASPO contract, as approved for funding through the FY 2023/24 Operating Budget:

2. Authorize the Director of Finance to issue a purchase order in the amount not to exceed $600,000 to Sehi Computer Products, Inc.

CONSENT CALENDAR
City of San Bernardino
Request for Council Action
Date: February 21, 2024
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Charles A. Montoya, City Manager;
Rolland Kornblau, Director of Information Technology;
Department: Information Technology
Subject: CALNET Contract for Verizon and ATT (All Wards) Recommendation:

It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, adopt the CALNET contract with ATT and Verizon authorizing:

1. The City Manager or designee to execute the ATT CALNET contracts. The ATT CALNET contract is estimated to be $1,000.00 per year.

2. The City Manager or designee to execute the Verizon CALNET contracts. The Verizon CALNET contract is estimated to be $16,178.40 per year.

Executive Summary
CALNET is a competitively bid contract negotiated by the State of California Department of Technology (CDT). City Hall and the police department use CALNET contracts for Verizon and ATT to purchase wireless data and cellular services. ATT and Verizon utilize the CALNET contract pricing for services provided to the City. The contract is being renewed and both providers are requesting signatures on the updated contracts provided to the City.

Background
CALNET Contracts provide easy access to telecommunications and network services by enabling customers to order services using a simple form. This eliminates the often costly and lengthy procurement process while sparing the customer agency the burden of managing a contract. The customer can trust that the services have been developed with the best practices in requirements, service level agreements, procurement terms Packet Page. 496
and conditions, and competitive pricing. Higher standards of service performance than those offered in the industry are often achieved.

City Hall and the police department have used CALNET contracts for Verizon and ATT to purchase wireless data and cellular services. The City of San Bernardino has 4 Basic Business Access Lines (POTS). On the new contract, these will stay at under $12 each (plus taxes and surcharges). If the City does not transition these before CALNET 3 expires, they will be charged at tariff/guidebook rates. Most recent prices were nearing $1000 each.

Discussion
The CALNET contract is being updated and to keep the current pricing structure, the City must renew the contract. The City, including public safety, has been using the CALNET contract for competitive pricing for many years. The most recent renewal took place in 2001. This contract can be canceled at any time but allows the city to procure services from ATT and Verizon with favorable pricing. 2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
The CALNET contract aligns with Key Target No. 1: Improved Operational & Financial Capacity.

Fiscal Impact
The Verizon CALNET contract is estimated to be $16,178.40 per year. There is sufficient funding in the Fiscal Year 2023/24 Budget to cover this cost.

Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, adopt the CALNET contract with ATT and Verizon authorizing:

1. The City Manager or designee to execute the ATT CALNET contracts. The ATT CALNET contract is estimated to be $1,000.00 per year.

2. The City Manager or designee to execute the Verizon CALNET contracts. The Verizon CALNET contract is estimated to be $16,178.40 per year.

Request for Council Action
Date: February 21, 2024
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Charles A. Montoya, City Manager
Rolland Kornblau, Director of Technology
Department: Information Technology
Subject: Request for Purchase Authorization for VOIP phone system for Animal Services (All Wards)
Recommendation:

It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California:

1. Authorize the City Manager to execute a Vendor Service Agreement with Intelesys for purchasing VOIP (voice over internet protocol) services using the TIPS agreement, as approved for funding through the FY 2023/24 Operating Budget.

2. Authorize the Director of Finance to issue purchase orders in the amount not to exceed $25,000 for the first year. The billing will be $4,217.17 to GoTo for phone hardware, $17,130.84 to GoTo for the first year of phone service, and $3,000 to Intelesys for installation.

Executive Summary
A purchase order not to exceed $25,000 is requested for the purchase of VOIP service, hardware, and installation. The equipment is necessary to improve the Animal Services phone system in preparation for expanding services to other municipalities.

Background

a reasonable time and budgetary appropriation. Animal Services is preparing to expand its services and needs a more robust system. The new phone system will allow answering city calls from the desk, laptop, phone, or mobile device.

Discussion
Information Technology is proposing to replace the VOIP phone system in Animal Services. Animal Services needs to upgrade their phone system for versatility and resilience. The TIPS contract is being utilized to secure a vendor. GoTo was selected as the service provider with Intelesys as their approved installer. 2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
This project is aligned with Key Target No. 1: Improved Operational & Financial Capacity. Approval of this purchase will reduce the risk of potential outages of the network and improve the speed.

Fiscal Impact
The General Fund impact is $25,000 and is appropriated in the FY2023/24 budget. The purchase order amount of $25,000 will allow for the purchase of VOIP equipment and service in Animal Services with a yearly renewal of $18,000. There is sufficient funding in the FY 2023/24 Operating Budget for this item.

Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California:

1. Authorize the City Manager to execute a Vendor Service Agreement with Intelesys for purchasing VOIP (voice over internet protocol) services using the TIPS agreement, as approved for funding through the FY 2023/24 Operating Budget:

2. Authorize the Director of Finance to issue purchase orders in the amount not to exceed $25,000 for the first year. The billing will be $4,217.17 to GoTo for phone hardware, $17,130.84 to GoTo for the first year of phone service, and $3,000 to Intelesys for installation.

TIPS VENDOR AGREEMENT
Between_____________ and
(Company Name)

THE INTERLOCAL PURCHASING SYSTEM (TIPS),
a Department of Texas Education Service Center Region 8 for TIPS RFP 221003 Electronics, Appliances and Associated Goods and Services General Information
The Vendor Agreement (“Agreement”) made and entered into by and between The Interlocal Purchasing System (hereinafter “TIPS”) a government cooperative purchasing program authorized by the Region 8 Education Service Center, having its principal place of business at 4845 US Hwy 271 North, Pittsburg, Texas 75686 and the TIPS Vendor. This Agreement consists of the provisions set forth below, including provisions of all attachments referenced herein. In the event of a conflict between the provisions set forth below and those contained in any attachment, the provisions set forth shall control unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing and by signature and date on the attachment.

A Purchase Order (“PO”), Agreement or Contract is the TIPS Member’s approval providing the authority to proceed with the negotiated delivery order under the Agreement. Special terms and conditions as agreed between the Vendor and TIPS Member should be added as addendums to the Purchase Order, Agreement or Contract. Items such as certificate of insurance, bonding requirements, small or disadvantaged business goals are some, but not all, of the possible addendums.

Terms and Conditions
Freight
All quotes to Membersshall provide a line item for cost for freight or shipping regardless if there is a charge or not. If no charge for freight or shipping, indicate by stating “No Charge”, “$0”, “included in price” or other similar indication. Otherwise, all shipping, freight or delivery changes shall be passed through to the TIPS Member at cost with no markup and said charges shall be agreed by the TIPS Member unless alternative shipping terms are agreed by TIPS as a result of the proposal award. Shipping method is determined by the vendor and the Member/Customer at the time of the quote/purchase by the Member/Customer and satisfactory shipping methods and costs are agreed upon at that time.

Warranty Conditions
All new supplies equipment and services shall include manufacturer's minimum standard warranty unless otherwise agreed to in writing. Vendor shall be legally permitted to sell all products offered for sale to TIPS Members if the offering is included in the Request for Proposal (“RFP”) category. All goods proposed and sold shall be new unless clearly stated in writing.

Customer Support
GoTo Communications
Packet Page. 541
TIPS Vendor Agreement 021522_sr Page 2
The Vendor shall provide timely and accurate customer support for orders to TIPS Members as agreed by the Parties. Vendors shall respond to such requests within a commercially reasonable time after receipt of the request. If support and/or training is a line item sold or packaged with a sale, support shall be as agreed with the TIPS Member.

Agreements
Agreements for purchase will normally be put into effect by means of a contract, agreement, or purchase order(s) executed by authorized agents of the TIPS Member participating government entities, but other means of placing an order may be used at the Member’s discretion. Vendor accepts and understands that when a purchase order or similar purchase document is sent from a customer through TIPS to the Vendor, TIPS is recording the purchase and verifying whether the purchase is within the parameters of the TIPS Contract only. Vendor agrees that TIPS is not a legal party to the purchase order or similar purchase document and TIPS is not responsible for identifying fraud, mistakes, or misrepresentations for the specific order. Vendor agrees that any purchase order or similar purchase document issued from a customer to Vendor, even when processed through TIPS, constitutes a legal contract between the customer and Vendor only. A Vendor that accepts a purchase order or similar purchase document and fulfills an order, even when processed through TIPS, is representing that the vendor has carefully reviewed the purchase order or similar purchase document for legality, authenticity, and accuracy.

Tax exempt status
Most TIPS Members are tax exempt and the related laws and/or regulations of the controlling jurisdiction(s) of the TIPS Member shall apply.

Assignments of Agreements
No assignment of this Agreement may be made without the prior notification of TIPS. Written approval of TIPS shall not be unreasonably withheld. Payment for delivered goods and services can only be made to the awarded Vendor, Vendor designated reseller or vendor assigned company, where permitted by TIPS.

Disclosures
• Vendor and TIPS affirm that they, or any authorized employees or agents, have not given, offered to give, nor intend to give at any time hereafter any economic opportunity, future employment, gift, loan, gratuity, special discount, trip, favor or service to a public servant in connection with this Agreement. • Vendor shall attach, in writing, a complete description of any and all relationships that might be considered a conflict of interest in doing business with the TIPS program. • The Vendor affirms that, to the best of his/her knowledge, the offer has been arrived at independently, and is submitted without collusion with anyone to obtain information or gain any favoritism that would in any way limit competition or give an unfair advantage over other vendors in the award of this Agreement.

Term of Agreement and Renewals
The Agreement with TIPS is for approximately three years with an option for renewal for an additional one consecutive year. If TIPS offers the renewal extension year, the Vendor will be notified by email to the primary contact of the awarded Vendor and shall be deemed accepted by the Vendor unless the awarded Vendor notifies TIPS of its objection to the additional term in writing. TIPS may or may not exercise some or all of the available extension(s) provided in the original solicitation beyond the base three-year term. Whether or not to offer some Packet Page. 542
TIPS Vendor Agreement 021522_sr Page 3
or all of the extension is at the sole discretion of TIPS. “Start Date” for Term Calculation Purposes Only: Regardless of actual award/effective date of Contract, for Agreement “term” calculation purposes only, the Agreement “Start Date” is the last day of the month that “Award Notifications” are anticipated as published in the Solicitation.

Example: In this example, if the anticipated “Award Date” published in the Solicitation is May 22, 2022, but extended negotiations delay award until June 27, 2022, the end date of the resulting initial “three-year” term, (which is subject to an extension(s)) will still be May 31, 2025 for purposes of this example. “Termination Date”: The scheduled Agreement “termination date” shall be the last day of the month of the month of the original solicitation’s anticipated “Award Date” plus three years.

Example: In this example, if the original term is approximately three years, and the solicitation provides an anticipated award date of May 22, 2022, the expiration date of the original three-year term shall be May 31, 2025 for purposes of this example.

Extensions: Any extensions of the original term shall begin on the next day after the day the original term expires unless otherwise specified.

Example Following the Previous Example: In this example, if TIPS offers a one-year extension, the expiration of the extended term shall be May 31, 2026 unless otherwise specified.

TIPS may offer to extend Vendor Agreements to the fullest extent the original Solicitation permits.

Automatic Renewal Clauses Incorporated in Awarded Vendor Agreements with TIPS Members Resulting from the Solicitation and with the Vendor Named in this Agreement.

No Agreement for goods or services with a TIPS Member by the awarded vendor named in this Agreement that results from the solicitation award named in this Agreement, may incorporate an automatic renewal clause that exceeds month to month terms with which the TIPS Member must comply. All renewal terms incorporated in an Agreement by the vendor with the TIPS Membershall only be valid and enforceable when the vendor receives written confirmation by purchase order, executed Agreement or other written instruction issued by the TIPS Member for any renewal period. The purpose of this clause is to avoid a TIPS Member inadvertently renewing an Agreement during a period in which the governing body of the TIPS Member has not properly appropriated and budgeted the funds to satisfy the Agreementrenewal. This term is not negotiable and any Agreement between a TIPS Member and a TIPS awarded vendor with an automatic renewal clause that conflicts with these terms is rendered void and unenforceable.

Shipments
The Vendorshallship, deliver or provide ordered products orservices within a commercially reasonable time after the receipt of the order from the TIPS Member. If a delay in said delivery is anticipated, the Vendor shall notify TIPS Member as to why delivery is delayed and shall provide an estimated time for completion of the order. TIPS or the requesting entity may cancel the order if estimated delivery time is not acceptable or not as agreed by the parties.

Invoices
Each invoice or pay request shall include the Vendor’s TIPS Contract number, the TIPS Member’s purchase order number or other identifying designation as provided in the order by the TIPS Member. If applicable, the Packet Page. 543
TIPS Vendor Agreement 021522_sr Page 4
shipment tracking number or pertinent information for verification of TIPS Member receipt shall be made available upon request.

Payments
The TIPS Member will make payments directly to the Vendor, the Vendor Assigned Dealer or as agreed by the Vendor and the TIPS Member after receiving invoice and in compliance with applicable payment statute(s), whichever is the greater time or as otherwise provided by an agreement of the parties.

Pricing
Price increases will be honored according to the terms of the solicitation and vendor proposal. All pricing submitted to TIPS shall include the participation fee, as provided in the solicitation,to be remitted to TIPS by the Vendor. Vendor will not show adding the fee to the invoice presented to TIPS Member customer.

Participation Fees and Reporting of Sales to TIPS by Vendor The Participation Fee that was published as part of the Solicitation and the fee published is the legally effective fee, along with any fee conditions stated in the Solicitation. Collection of the fees by TIPS is required under Texas Government Code §791.011 Et seq. Fees are due on all TIPS purchases reported by either Vendor or Member. Fees are due to TIPS upon payment by the Member to the Vendor, Reseller or Vendor Assigned Dealer. Vendor, Reseller, or Vendor Assigned Dealer agrees that the participation fee is due to TIPS for all Agreement sales immediately upon receipt of payment including partial payment, from the Member Entity and must be paid to TIPS at least on a monthly basis, specifically within 31 calendar days of receipt of payment, if not more frequently, or as otherwise agreed by TIPS in writing and signed by an authorized signatory of TIPS.

Thus, when an awarded Vendor, Reseller or Vendor Assigned Dealer receives any amount of payment, even partial payment, for a TIPS sale, the legally effective fee for that amount is immediately due to TIPS from the Vendor and fees due to TIPS should be paid at least on a monthly basis, specifically within 31 calendar days of receipt of payment, if not more frequently.

Reporting of Sales to TIPS by Vendor
Vendor is required to report all sales under the TIPS contract to TIPS. When a public entity initiates a purchase with a TIPS Awarded Vendor, if the Member inquires verbally or in writing whether the Vendor holds a TIPS Contract, it is the duty of the Vendor to verify whether or not the Member is seeking a TIPS purchase. Once verified, the Vendor must include the TIPS Contract number on any communications and related sales documents exchanged with the TIPS Member entity. To report sales, the Vendor must login to the TIPS Vendor Portal online at https://www.tips-usa.com/vendors_form.cfm and click on the PO’s and Payments tab. Pages 3-7 of the Vendor Portal User Guide will walk you through the process of reporting sales to TIPS. Please refer to the TIPS Accounting FAQ’s for more information about reporting sales and if you have further questions, contact the Accounting Team at [email protected]. The Vendor or vendor assigned dealers are responsible for keeping record of all sales that go through the TIPS Agreement and submitting same to TIPS.

Failure to properly report or render the participation fee to TIPS shall constitute a breach of this agreement with our parent governmental entity, Texas Education Service Center Region 8, as established by the Texas legislature and shall be grounds for termination of this agreement and any other agreement held with TIPS and possible legal action. Any overpayment of participation fees to TIPS by a Vendor will be refunded to the Vendor within ninety (90) days of receipt of notification if TIPS receives written notification of the overpayment not later than the expiration of six (6) months from the date of overpayment and TIPS determines that the amount was not legally due to TIPS pursuant to this agreement and applicable law. It is the Vendor’s responsibility to identify which sales are TIPS Agreement sales and pay the correct participation fee due for TIPS Agreement sales. Any notification of overpayment received by TIPS after the expiration of six (6) months from the date of overpayment will be non-refundable. Region 8 ESC and TIPS reserve the right to extend the Packet Page. 544

3.

Indemnification
The ESC Region 8 and TIPS is a Texas Political Subdivision and a local governmental entity; therefore, is prohibited from
indemnifying third parties pursuant to the Texas Constitution (Article 3, Section 52) except as specifically provided by law or as
ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction. A provision in a contract to indemnify or hold a party harmless is a promise to pay for
any expenses the indemnified party incurs, if a specified event occurs, such as breaching the terms of the contract or negligently
performing duties under the contract. Article III, Section 49 of the Texas Constitution states that "no debt shall be created by or on
behalf of the State ... " The Attorney General has counseled that a contractually imposed obligation of indemnity creates a "debt" in
the constitutional sense. Tex. Att'y Gen. Op. No. MW-475 (1982). Contract clauses which require the System or institutions to
indemnify must be deleted or qualified with ''to the extent permitted by the Constitution and Laws of the State of Texas." Liquidated
damages, attorney's fees, waiver of vendor's liability, and waiver of statutes of limitations clauses should also be deleted or qualified
with "to the extent permitted by the Constitution and laws of State of Texas." Not a negotiable term. Failure to agree will render your proposal non-responsive and it will not be considered. Do you agree

Texas Education Code Chapter 22 Contractor Certification for Contractor Employees Introduction: Texas Education Code Chapter 22 requires entities that contract with school districts to provide services to obtain criminal history record information regarding covered employees. Contractors must certify to the district that they have complied. Covered employees with disqualifying criminal histories are prohibited from serving at a school district.

Definitions: Covered employees: Employees of a contractor or subcontractor who have or will have continuing duties related to the service to be performed at the District and have or will have direct contact with students. The District will be the final arbiter of what constitutes direct contact with students. Disqualifying criminal history: Any conviction or other criminal history information designated by the District, or one of the following offenses, if at the time of the offense, the victim was under 18 or enrolled in a public school:
(a) a felony offense under Title 5, Texas Penal Code; (b) an offense for which a defendant is required to register as a sex offender under Chapter 62, Texas Code of Criminal Procedure; or (c) an equivalent offense under federal law or the laws of another state.

I certify that:

NONE (Section A) of the employees of Contractor and any subcontractors are covered employees, as defined above. If this box is checked, I further certify that Contractor has taken precautions or imposed conditions to ensure that the employees of Contractor and any subcontractor will not become covered employees. Contractor will maintain these precautions or conditions throughout the time the contracted services are provided.

OR
SOME (Section B) or all of the employees of Contractor and any subcontractor are covered employees. If this box is checked, I further certify that:
(1) Contractor has obtained all required criminal history record information regarding its covered employees. None of the covered employees has a disqualifying criminal history. (2) If Contractor receives information that a covered employee subsequently has a reported criminal history, Contractor will immediately remove the covered employee from contract duties and notify the District in writing within 3 business days.
(3) Upon request, Contractor will provide the District with the name and any other requested information of covered employees so that the District may obtain criminal history record information on the covered employees. (4) If the District objects to the assignment of a covered employee on the basis of the covered employee's criminal history record information, Contractor agrees to discontinue using that covered employee to provide services at the District.

Noncompliance or misrepresentation regarding this certification may be grounds for contract termination.

Service Requirements
Warranty, Service and Support
Our Customer Experience brings together the expertise of the GoTo Account Management, Technical Support, and Customer Service teams to deliver world-class service and support. All GoTo Customer Experience teams are Americas-based and available 24/7, through multiple channels, including toll free telephone, email, online, and chat. All access is unlimited, and no additional contracts or fees are required.

Service Level Agreement (SLA)
GoToConnect’s Service Level Agreement (SLA) describes the specific service level agreements and conditions for GoToConnect Cloud Voice and Unified Communications (UC). The SLA also specifies the measures to be taken in case of deviation or failure to meet the asserted service guarantees. GoTo guarantees Cloud Voice and UC will maintain four 9’s (99.99%) in any given calendar year. The SLA can be furnished upon request.

Technical Support / Customer Service
With GoToConnect, our Technical Support (TS) and Customer Service (CS) teams are fully integrated. Your call, email or chat is immediately answered by a TS/CS team member trained to evaluate your issue, assist you personally with resolving it, or connect you directly with the team member best able to assist you.

The majority of system issues can be quickly resolved by GoToConnect Customer Service Representatives (CSRs). All CSRs complete training certification in the GoToConnect solution prior to answering customer calls, emails, or chats. Additionally, our Technical Support Representatives (TSRs) are trained and certified in the GoToConnect system.

Monitoring and Maintenance
GoToConnect’s solution is consistently managed and maintained to ensure everything is kept up-to-date. Our Cloud is engineered in such a way that updates and maintenance do not require scheduled downtime but are instead rolled out across the platform during periods of low utilization.

Internal to the Cloud platform, over 1,200 different parameters are constantly monitored to ensure they are functioning within acceptable limits. Any variance out of normal bounds triggers automatic alarming of NOC staff via multiple channels. Alarms are triggered well before an issue escalates to the point of causing service degradation, allowing for proactive issue resolution before clients are affected.

All of the hardware endpoints that are used for delivery of the hosted services are covered under warranty. In the case of the VoIP handsets, the hardware has a one-year manufacturer's warranty, with extensions that can be purchased for up to four additional years. Warranties on any routers and switches sold vary by manufacturer and model but are never less than five years (and in some cases are lifetime). Our services manufacture warranties for products we Packet Page. 589
sell. For the duration of the service, GoTo provides maintenance and support for the hardware endpoints we sell. All other maintenance and support services (regardless of warranty agreement) are available 24/7 at no additional charge.

If a handset fails within the warranty time window, GoTo will send an advance replacement handset to the customer, pre-programmed to replace the faulty device. Alternatively, some clients maintain a number of extra handsets—those can be programmed via GoToConnect’s online administrator portal controls to replace the faulty device at any given moment, minimizing any downtime. If the handset is outside of warranty, a replacement can be purchased from GoTo, programmed, and sent to the customer site (next-day shipping is available).

Packet Page. 590
Implementation and Support
GoTo uses proven best practices and a proactive, high-touch approach to manage the implementation of all new GoTo Voice and UC solutions. Applied across the following phases of the implementation life cycle, the GoTo approach delivers consistent, high-quality results that minimize the pain traditionally associated with changing your telephone service provider while at the same time maximizing the impact of GoToConnect across your entire organization.

Initiating: GoTo Project Managers (PMs) review expectations and gather customer information and preferences required for system configuration and number porting. They clearly define transition activities, timelines, and responsibilities for the customer and the GoTo implementation team. Detailed statement of work, project plan (with schedule), and preliminary order paperwork are prepared and presented to the customer for review and approval. GoTo engineers assess the current communications environment and identify system needs. They prepare a detailed assessment report and network diagram(s) outlining recommended network configuration.

Planning: The Project System Trainer or Field Engineer will hold a training with the customer and work together, with the customer, to build out the PBX. They establish a communications plan, scheduling regular status meetings with the customer and GoTo sales, engineering, training, project management, and deployment teams. They will work with you through system testing and training plans for the completed solution most fit for your needs.

Executing: GoTo engineers help to configure GoToConnect, providing requested guidance with dial plans and other features according to customer-provided specifications and preferences. Engineers also complete any specialized integration requirements, upon further scoping. Fulfillment specialists order equipment and monitor the number porting process. Regular status calls ensure the transition process stays on-track with established milestones and timelines.

Testing: GoTo quality assurance specialists test every feature to ensure it is operating correctly and in accordance with customer specifications. Engineers test the network configuration and, if applicable, test and turn up the GoTo broadband data connection. Fulfillment specialists test E911 configurations in compliance with Federal regulations. All GoTo hardware - including handsets, routers, and other equipment - arrives on the customer location pre-provisioned and ready for immediate plug-and-play. GoTo PMs and engineers work with the customer to test and verify all system features and functions. Dedicated project system trainers provide administrator and end user training to familiarize the customer with GoToConnect.

Project Completion: Numbers port from the losing carrier to GoTo, all system features and hardware endpoints are activated, and call processing (inward and outward) is initiated. Once live, a dedicated GoTo Customer Success Manager (SAM) is available to support the system and troubleshoot and resolve any service issues.

CONSENT CALENDAR
City of San Bernardino
Request for Council Action
Date: February 21, 2024
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Charles A. Montoya, City Manager;
Lynn Merrill, Director of Public Works, Operations and
Maintenance
Department: Public Works
Subject: Agreement with Cal Stripe, Inc., for Street Striping and Pavement Marking Services (All Wards)
Recommendation:

It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California:

1. Authorize the City Manager to execute a Maintenance Services Agreement with Cal Stripe Inc., for street striping and pavement marking services; and

2. Authorize the Agency Director of Finance and Management Services to issue a purchase order in the amount of $420,000.

Executive Summary
The award of the striping contract is designed to deliver a professional, efficient, and high-quality installation for pavement marking throughout the City. The striping will delineate the movement of both vehicular traffic and pedestrians in an effective way to provide safety for all users of the roadway. Funding for this agreement will use the Gas Tax Fund.

Background
The Public Works Department, specifically the Traffic Engineering Section, plays a vital role in upholding the quality and safety of the city's streets through the maintenance of striping on all City’s streets. As the responsible department of the city's transportation infrastructure, this department is entrusted with the responsibility of ensuring that road markings, including lane demarcations, crosswalks, centerlines pavement messages and other essential striping elements, are well-maintained and Packet Page. 600
clearly visible to all user of the road. The Traffic Engineering Section employs a comprehensive approach to enhance traffic flow, promote safety, and contribute to overall urban mobility.

Thermoplastic striping and paint striping are two distinct methods employed in road marking, each with its unique characteristics and advantages. Paint striping, traditionally used for road markings, involves applying a liquid paint that dries to form visible lines on the road surface. While cost-effective and easy to apply, paint striping may require more frequent maintenance due to wear and fading over time. On the other hand, thermoplastic striping utilizes a pre-formed, solid material that is heated and then melted onto the road surface. This method offers enhanced durability, longevity, and reflective properties compared to traditional paint striping.

Thermoplastic striping is particularly effective in high-traffic areas, providing superior resistance to abrasion and weather conditions. While paint striping is a more economical choice, thermoplastic striping stands out for its durability and visibility, making it a preferred option for long-lasting and high-performance road markings.

The frequency of pavement striping maintenance can vary depending on factors such as traffic volume, weather conditions, and the type of striping material used. In general, traditional paint striping may require more frequent maintenance compared to thermoplastic striping.

For paint striping, it is common to schedule re-striping every 1 to 2 years, as the paint can wear off over time due to traffic, weather exposure, and general road wear. Hightraffic areas may need more frequent maintenance to ensure visibility and safety.

On the other hand, thermoplastic striping tends to be more durable and longer lasting. It can last for 3 to 5 years or even more before requiring re-striping. The heatapplied nature of thermoplastic striping contributes to its enhanced longevity and resistance to wear and tear. Regular inspections are essential to assess the condition of pavement striping and determine when maintenance is necessary. Factors like faded lines, reduced reflectivity, and visible signs of wear are indicators that restriping may be needed to maintain effective road markings.

The City of San Bernadino covers 63 square miles, and maintain approximately 569 miles of roadway segments and over 1,300 lane miles (574 Center Lane miles) of streets requiring pavement markings and painting of center divider lines, curbs (to include no parking red zones), and “bullnoses” (front and back areas of street island curbs). Additionally, the City also maintains approximately 110 school crosswalks, more than 1,200 street crosswalks, and 55 City-owned parking lots at parks and city facilities. These locations all require varied maintenance and upgrades that include (but is not limited to) repainting red, yellow, white, blue, and green zones at curbs, , thermoplastic application of markings at street or school crosswalks, center divider line pavement markings, directional arrow street markings, white rumble strip installation, ceramic pavement marker installation, and parking lot/street parking striping.

Packet Page. 601
Discussion
To ensure our city conducts timely and first-rate street striping and pavement marking services, staff is requesting $420,000 under this maintenance services agreement.

Initially the maintenance agreement will cover the period from Feb 21, 2024, to June 30, 2025, with four additional option years. Public Works staff use a combination of factors and considerations to determine when street pavement striping is maintained. • Regular inspection conducted by staff Semi-Annually.
• Visual Assessment-Maintenance staff and engineering staff visually inspect roadway marking to identify signs of wear and report back to the traffic engineering section.
• Traffic Volume- High traffic areas experience more wear and tear on road marking which will require frequent inspections quarterly. • Weather Deterioration – Adverse weather such as heavy rain, or extreme heat can accelerate the deterioration of roadway markings. Inspection is conducted after the rainstorms.
• Feedback from Residents and Drivers through the Citizen Request Management system (CRM).

On November 28, 2023, the Traffic Engineering section of Public Works, with the Finance Department, initiated a formal process to solicit proposals for street striping and pavement marking services in Request for Proposal No. F-23-81. Notices were posted on the PlanetBids website. The results of the solicitation yielded five vendors which were reviewed by Procurement for compliance with mandatory requirements.

This selection was based on the lowest quote received.

It is important to note that the cost results below reflect a sampling of the most typically required services and related materials and does not reflect the overall request of this maintenance services agreement (which is lower). Although the winning vendor listed an overall cost of $954,900, staff does not anticipate using all the services listed in the sampling of services listed in the cost sheet but has chosen to have options available should the need arise for specific services not typically used. In keeping with the prior fiscal year average costs for street striping and pavement marking services, the amount of this maintenance agreement will be set at $420,000. The results were as follows:

Vendor City Cost
Cal Stripe, Inc. Colton, CA $954,900
Superior Pavement Markings, Inc. Beaumont, CA $1,851,885 Safe USA, Inc. Ontario, CA $2,067,300
Chrisp Co. Bloomington, CA $2,204,625
WGJ Enterprises, Inc.* Azusa, CA $2,276,570
*Amount differ from the vendor submitted bid form.

Packet Page. 602
Cal Stripe Inc. provided the lowest quote and is a reputable vendor for street striping and pavement marking services. Staff is confident that they are qualified to provide the services required under this maintenance services agreement. Additionally, Cal Stripe Inc. has recently provided services to the city and is a vendor in good standing.

The term of the proposed agreement shall be from February 21, 2024, to June 30, 2025, with four additional option years.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
This project is consistent with several City goals and targets. It is aligned with Key Target 1e: Minimize risk and litigation exposure. Approval of this agreement will reduce the risk of potential liability associated with tort cases and significantly reduce the amount of open work order requests. It is also aligned with Key Target 3c:

Evaluate and enhance the quality of public safety services. Pavement markings are an effective way of regulating traffic and communicating information to pedestrians and drivers.

Fiscal Impact
There is no General Fund impact associated with this action. Sufficient funds in the amount of $420,000 are available in the Gas Tax Fund FY23/24.

Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California:

1. Authorize the City Manager to execute a Maintenance Services Agreement with Cal Stripe Inc., for street striping and pavement marking services; and

2. Authorize the Agency Director of Finance and Management Services to issue a purchase order in the amount of $420,000.

3.2.17 Warranty. Contractor warrants all Services under the Contract (which for purposes of this Section shall be deemed to include unauthorized work which has not been removed and any non-conforming materials incorporated into the work) to be of good quality and free from any defective or faulty material and workmanship. Contractor agrees that for a period of one year (or the period of time specified elsewhere in the Contract or in any guarantee or warranty provided by any manufacturer or supplier of equipment or materials incorporated into the work, whichever is later) after the date of final acceptance, Contractor shall within ten (10) days after being notified in writing by the City of any defect in the Services or non-conformance of the Services to the Contract, commence and prosecute with due diligence all Services necessary to fulfill the terms of the warranty at its sole cost and expense. Contractor shall act sooner as requested by the City in response to an emergency. In addition, Contractor shall, at its sole cost and expense, repair and replace any portions of the work (or work of other contractors) damaged by its defective Services or which becomes damaged in the course of repairing or replacing defective work.

In the event that Contractor fails to perform its obligations under this Section, or under any other warranty or guaranty under this Contract, to the reasonable satisfaction of the City, the City shall have the right to correct and replace any defective or non-conforming work and any work damaged by such work or the replacement or correction thereof at Contractor's sole expense.

3.3.3 Deductions. City may deduct or withhold, as applicable, from each progress payment an amount necessary to protect City from loss because of: (1) stop payment notices as allowed by state law; (2) unsatisfactory prosecution of the Services by Contractor; (3) sums representing expenses, losses, or damages as determined by the City, incurred by the City for which Contractor is liable under the Agreement; and (4) any other sums which the City is entitled to recover from Contractor under the terms of the Agreement or pursuant to state law, including Section 1727 of the California Labor Code. The failure by the City to deduct any of these sums from a progress payment shall not constitute a waiver of the City's right to such sums.

3.3.5 Extra Work. At any time during the term of this Agreement, City may request that Contractor perform Extra Work.

Any stop orders issued by the Department of Industrial Relations against Contractor or any subcontractor that affect Contractor’s performance of Services, including any delay, shall be Contractor’s sole responsibility. Any delay arising out of or resulting from such stop orders shall be considered Contractor caused delay and shall not be compensable by the City. Contractor 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 Contractor or any subcontractor.

- 33 -
these sums from a progress payment shall not constitute a waiver of the City's right to such sums.

3.3.4 Reimbursement for Expenses. Contractor shall not be reimbursed for any expenses unless authorized in writing by City.

3.3.5 Extra Work. At any time during the term of this Agreement, City may request that Contractor perform Extra Work.

Contractor shall not perform, nor be compensated for, Extra Work without written authorization from City’s Representative.

3.3.6 Prevailing Wages. Contractor is aware of the requirements of California Labor Code Section 1720, et seq., and 1770, et seq., as well as California Code of Regulations, Title 8, Section 16000, et seq., (“Prevailing Wage Laws”), which require the payment of prevailing wage rates and the performance of other requirements on certain “public works” and “maintenance” projects. 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, Contractor agrees to fully comply with such Prevailing Wage Laws. City shall provide Contractor with a copy of the prevailing rates of per diem wages in effect at the commencement of this Contract. Contractor shall make copies of the prevailing rates of per diem wages for each craft, classification or type of worker needed to execute the Services available to interested parties upon request, and shall post copies at Contractor’s principal place of business and at the project site. Contractor shall defend, indemnify and hold the City, its officials, officers, employees and agents free and harmless from any claims, liabilities, costs, penalties or interest arising out of any failure or alleged failure to comply with the Prevailing Wage Laws. It shall be mandatory upon the Contractor and all subcontractors to comply with all California Labor Code provisions, which include but are not limited to prevailing wages (Labor Code Sections 1771, 1774 and 1775), employment of apprentices (Labor Code Section 1777.5), certified payroll records (Labor Code Sections 1771.4 and 1776), hours of labor (Labor Code Sections 1813 and 1815) and debarment of contractors and subcontractors (Labor Code Section 1777.1). 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.

3.3.7 Registration/DIR Compliance. If the Services are being performed as part of an applicable “public works” or “maintenance” project, and if the total compensation is $15,000 or more, then pursuant to Labor Code Sections 1725.5 and 1771.1, the Contractor and all subcontractors performing such Services must be registered with the Department of Industrial Relations. Contractor shall maintain registration for the duration of the Project and require the same of any subcontractors, as applicable. This Project may also be subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the Department of Industrial Relations. It shall be Contractor’s sole responsibility to comply with all applicable registration and labor compliance requirements. 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. Any stop orders issued by the Department of Industrial Relations against Contractor or any subcontractor that affect Contractor’s performance of Services, including any delay, shall be Contractor’s sole responsibility. Any delay arising out of Packet Page. 657
- 34 -
or resulting from such stop orders shall be considered Contractor caused delay and shall not be compensable by the City. Contractor 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 Contractor or any subcontractor.

Background
Nicholson Neighborhood Park, located at 2737 West 2nd Street, is a City-owned 9.52- acre park facility that includes recreational amenities and a community center building.

The recreational area of the park currently consists of two baseball diamonds with a concession/score keeper area (restroom included), a community garden, outdoor basketball court, picnic shelter, 10 picnic tables, two barbeque grills, a playground area, restrooms, and parking lot. While the park area continues to see some general community use, the community center building has been closed for programming for several years due to financial challenges.

Over the past several years, Nicholson Neighborhood Park has become a target for vandalism due to the lack of programmed activities at the site. Many of the supporting outbuildings, irrigation, and lighting systems have been damaged beyond repair.

During preparation of the FY 2020/21 Capital Improvement Program (CIP), staff recommended rehabilitation of the park to return the property to a safe and attractive condition. Restoration of the park and its amenities will assist in drawing positive activities back to the area and restore recreational opportunities for the surrounding neighborhood.

On June 24, 2020, the Mayor and City Council approved Resolution No. 2020-128 adopting the City’s Annual Operating Budget for Fiscal Year 2020/21. The budget included CIP Project PR21-006 for Nicholson Neighborhood Park Improvements (“Project”). Funding to support the Project has been established in the amount of $1,000,000 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding and $150,000 in Meadowbrook Insurance Claim funds, for a total Project budget of $1,150,000.

On March 3, 2021, the Mayor and City Council adopted Resolution No. 2021-37 approving award of a Design Services Agreement with RHA Landscape Architects - Planners, Inc. for the Nicholson Park Improvements in the amount of $215,295.

On February 2, 2022, the Mayor and City Council adopted Resolution No. 2022-26 allocating $8,850,000 in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds to complete the project.

On August 3, 2022, the Mayor and City Council approved Amendment No. 1 to the Professional Design Services Agreement with RHA Landscape Architects - Planners, Inc. adding extra design services in the amount of $197,250 and increasing the purchase order to a total amount not-to-exceed $412,545 for the preliminary design of Nicholson Park.

On August 2, 2023, the Mayor and City Council approved Amendment No. 2 to the Professional Design Services Agreement with RHA Landscape Architects – Planners, Inc. adding extra design services in the amount of $47,300 and increasing the purchase order to a total amount not-to-exceed $459,845 for the preliminary design of Nicholson Park.

On December 6, 2023, the Mayor and City Council awarded a construction agreement to Urban Habitat in the amount of $8,147,197.56 and approved additional funds for Packet Page. 673
construction contingencies and construction management costs in the amount of $1,290,000.

Discussion
This project includes the construction of various park improvements including, but not limited to, baseball fields, playground equipment, exercise equipment, lighting, parking lot, fencing, picnic tables, drinking water fountains, and restrooms. Project design was completed, and was awarded for construction in December of 2023. Construction management and inspection services are now needed to help meet project budget, schedule, and labor compliance requirements.

On December 21, 2023, the City staff requested proposals for construction management and inspection services (CMCI), for the Nicholson Park Improvements Project. Staff requested three proposals from the On-Call Consultant List and received two proposals from the following firms:
• Z&K Consultants, Inc.
• Infrastructure Engineers
During the review of the technical proposals, staff evaluated the proposals using the following criteria:
• Expertise and experience, including the firm's work on comparable engagements, quality of the firm's personnel assigned to the project, and the quality of the firm's management support personnel.
• Appropriateness of services outlined in the proposal to meet the City's need. • Distinguishing features, skills, and/or services.
• Cost reasonableness.
• Additional services beyond the scope of work, at no additional cost to the City.

Z&K was considered the most qualified based on their well-prepared proposal, excellent examples of similar engagements, constructability review of the project, comprehensive scheduling of the project, their detailed approach to the project, and their proposed staff experience of similar engagements. Compensation for CMCI contracts is based on a time and materials basis with hourly rates secured for a construction manager, senior construction inspector, and clerical support. The cost proposals submitted by all the firms consisted of estimated hours for each project and hourly rates for the positions noted below. The following table contains the estimated cost for CMCI services for the project based on hours and rates received from each proposing firm for the specific personnel assigned to manage the City’s construction projects. The hourly rates are reasonable and are comparable to the hourly rates the City is currently paying for similar services. Table 1 below summarizes the cost comparison of proposals.

Table 1 – Cost Proposal Comparison
Packet Page. 674
Z&K Consultants, Inc $471,876.00
Infrastructure Engineers $390,000.00
Hernandez, Kroone & Associates Did Not Submit
A reasonable cost for CMCI services is typically 10-15% of the construction cost. With smaller, less expensive projects, this percentage is typically on the higher side. Z&K’s cost is at 5.7% of the construction cost and includes the following additional services that the other consultant’s proposal did not include:
• Labor compliance services during construction. The labor compliance services for this project were estimated to be approximately $50,000 to satisfy grant funding requirements. Z&K is providing this service for $14,430.00 allowing the City to save approximately $35,570 on these services by including them under Z&K’s contract rather than another consultant.
• Surveying quality assurance during construction.
• Pre-construction services.
• Preparing the Weekly Statement of Working Days.
• Providing a Certified Playground Equipment Inspector. • Weekly Drones for the project.
• Weekly Newsletters summarizing project progress and updates to be distributed to City Management.
• Scheduling during construction.

Z&K’s costs for the services are well under the industry standard for similar projects and services. The cost of the other consultant was lower; however, it did not provide the above services that Z&K will be providing under this Agreement. These additional services are necessary for the project.

After the evaluation of proposals and cost, Z&K was ranked as the most qualified firm.

The panel was most impressed by the following:
• Z&K’s prior experience with the project funding (ARPA Funding and CDBG Funding)
• Z&K has delivered over 33 park projects and are currently delivering park projects for the City of Newport Beach, the City of La Habra, the City of South Gate, and the City of Lake Forest.
• The Z&K staff proposed on the project are local to the City of San Bernardino. This allows for prompt response time to project issues over the weekend or after working hours.
• Z&K’s senior construction manager and senior construction inspector both have extensive experience with park improvement projects.
• Z&K also presented a unique approach to managing the construction of the park projects by using a “risk management log.” The log is used to identify areas of risk based on lessons learned from previous projects, along with proposed solutions.

The log includes items such as utility/agency coordination, change order controls, and community outreach.

Packet Page. 675
• Z&K stressed the importance of keeping the nearby residents and businesses informed of the project status and any impact on their neighborhood.

The total fee for Z&K Consultant’s construction management and inspection services is $471,876. In addition to these services, staff recommend approval of a contingency in the amount of $47,187 to provide for any unforeseen work. The total cost of the proposed services and contingency is $519,063.

Funding for the Project was previously established in FY 2020/21 CIP budget in the CDBG and Liability Insurance funds, in addition to the allocation of ARPA funds in FY 2021/22.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
Authorizing the execution of this agreement aligns with Key Target No. 4: Economic Growth & Development. The additional amenities to Nicholson Neighborhood Park will improve community participation for new recreational activities and provide a safe and well-maintained community park.

Fiscal Impact
There is no General Fund impact with this item. To date, there is a budget balance of $9.6 million for this project coming from ARPA, CDBG and Meadowbrook Insurance Claim funds.

Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California:

1. Approve the award of an Agreement with Z&K Consultants in the amount of $471,876 for Nicholson Neighborhood Park Improvements (Project); and

2. Authorize the project contingencies in the total amount of $47,187 for construction of the Project; and

3. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute all documents with Z&K Consultants; and

4. Authorize the City Manager or designee to expend the contingency fund, if necessary, to complete the project.

We understand that the City’s longtime goal is to restore the park and its amenities to draw positive activities back to the area, restore and expand recreational opportunities for the surrounding neighborhood.

The community center building has been closed due to financial challenges and the park area has continued to be accessible for general community use. The park has been a target for vandalism due to the lack of programmed activities and use at the site. We are excited about this impactful rehabilitation project to revitalize the park and the surrounding community. On March 3, 2021, RHA Landscape Architects – Planners, Inc. was awarded the contract to begin design services for Nicholson Park.
