Placement: Consent
Estimated Time: N/A
FROM: Nickole Domini, Human Resources Director
SUBJECT: SUCCESSOR MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN THE
CITY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO AND THE SAN LUIS OBISPO POLICE
STAFF OFFICERS’ ASSOCIATION
RECOMMENDATION
1. Adopt a Draft Resolution entitled, “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of San Luis Obispo, California, adopting and ratifying the Memorandum of Understanding between the City of San Luis Obispo and the San Luis Obispo Police Staff Officers Association for the period of July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2027”; and
2. Adopt a Regular and Supplemental Salary Schedule effective July 6, 2023, as required by California Public Employees Retirement System (CalPERS).
POLICY CONTEXT
The key components of this MOU are in alignment with Council adopted Compensation Philosophy and Labor Relations Objectives.
DISCUSSION
Background
SLOPSOA represents 17 police management employees in positions that include sworn Police Sergeants, Police Lieutenants, as well as non-sworn Police Records Supervisor and Communications Supervisors. Within this group, two classifications historically titled as Police Captain are being retitled to Deputy Police Chief, aligning with the labor market and the City’s Classification and Compensation Plan. This title change is only administrative and consistent with the level and classification of responsibility already assigned to the Police Captain position and more representative of the titles afforded to these positions in surrounding agencies. The current compensation and benefits for this group of employees is established by a MOU, spanning a four-year term from July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2023. This Agreement included modest cost of living increases, employees paying an increased retirement contribution to CalPERS, and an annual adjustment to the City’s health contribution through a cost sharing formula.
Item 6c
This Agreement was aligned with the Council-adopted Fiscal Health Response Plan,1 which was adopted by Council in 2018. One notable aspect of this alignment was that SLOPSOA agreed to participate in retirement cost-sharing due to the increased pension costs.
What sets SLOPSOA apart from the other represented bargaining groups at the City is their approach to negotiations. Rather than hiring outside representation, they rely on their own members to foster open, constructive, and honest dialogue with City representatives. This approach is rooted in mutual respect for one another’s perspectives and the City’s overall Labor Relations Objectives.
At the initial negotiation session on March 28, 2023, SLOPSOA expressed their primary interests for a successor agreement, focusing on maintaining equity with the relevant labor market. Market data revealed that a majority of classifications within SLOPSOA lagged behind the labor market by more than five (5%) percent. Additionally, the salary differential, commonly referred to as ‘compaction,’ between classifications in the San Luis Obispo Police Officers’ Association (SLOPOA) and those supervised by SLOPSOA also lagged the market. Maintaining sufficient compaction between supervisor and subordinates help to recognize and incentivize employees with strong leadership potential to step into these critical roles and contributes to the long-term success of the organization and effectively serving the community.
Over the course of three formal negotiation sessions, SLOPSOA and the City engaged in a collaborative process and interest based bargaining, resulting in an agreement that aligns with the City’s Compensation Philosophy. This agreement aims to ensure competitive compensation for employees, in an effort to attract and retain highly qualified employees. By maintaining parity with the relevant labor market and addressing compaction issues among the employees supervised by SLOPSOA staff, the agreement strives to create a fair and balanced compensation structure that fosters employee satisfaction and retention.
Recruiting and retaining Police Officers remains a formidable task across the country, given the dramatic social changes taking place. In light of these circumstances, effective police managers are of significant importance. Specific to the City’s local labor market, compensating police management staff with a competitive wage is imperative to the health and overall stability of our police department.
While, real-time federal data on police employment is generally accessible, a recent small sample survey of 184 police departments conducted this year revealed some alarming statistics. The survey found that resignations in 2021 were 43 percent higher than in 2019, while retirements saw a 24 percent increase. These numbers highlight the recognized and challenging environment surrounding recruitment and retention of experienced peace officer professionals.
1 The Fiscal Health Response Plan included operating reductions, new ways of doing business, new revenues, and employee concessions to close the projected $8.9 million budget gap. The gap resulted from increased pension costs mandated by the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS).
Item 6c
It is worth noting that most members within the SLOPSOA bargaining unit have dedicated over 15 years of public service to the City's Police Department. This accumulated institutional knowledge is instrumental in shaping the future of policing in San Luis Obispo, particularly in the development of the Department's strategic plan. Probably the most relevant and important element is the mentoring and nurturing of new peace officer professionals that are joining the rank as the profession experiences a generational shift in staffing.
SLOPSOA has been challenged in coordinating all duties around facilitating the strategic plan thus far. More importantly, once the plan is finalized, it will again be this group’s responsibility to deliver on each of the action items in the plan and to carry out the vision of the Chief of Police and that of the community for the next five years and beyond.
SLOPSOA members will lead by example and shape the 21st century culture of the Police Department and be thought and action leaders in implementing the strategic plan that is adopted by the City Council. By retaining these experienced and committed individuals, the City can benefit from their insights, expertise, and long-term perspective, ultimately fostering a forward-thinking and community-based approach to policing.
Key Components of the Successor MOU
Key components of the recommended tentative agreement with SLOPSOA resulting in ongoing costs include:
1. Term of Agreement: A four-year agreement (July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2027).
2. Market Equity Adjustments: Raising all classifications in the SLOPSOA group to the median of the relevant labor market based on the market compensation study completed for public safety groups effective following Council adoption:
SLOPSOA Classification Market Equity Adjustment
Police Sergeant 7.00%
Police Lieutenant 15.25%
Deputy Police Chief (formerly Police Captain) 18.50%
Records Supervisor 2.00%
Communications Supervisor 8.00%
3. Cost of Living Adjustments: Provide a three (3%) percent cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) each year for the next four years so that after an agreement is reached, compensation scales maintain their competitive position with the labor market.
4. Retirement Cost-Sharing: This group agrees to continue making their current contribution of three (3%) percent towards the employers' portion of the retirement contribution, as part of the City's Fiscal Health Response Plan. The purpose of this agreement is to help reduce the City's overall retirement contribution.
Item 6c
5. Uniform Incentive: Increase the annual uniform incentive from $1,000 to $1,300 for sworn personnel, effective the first paycheck in December 2023, to be more aligned with the uniform incentive in comparison agencies. Note, pursuant to Resolution No 11316 (2022 Series) the Police Chief will also be eligible for the increase in uniform allowance as he receives the same uniform allowance as those he directly supervises.
6. Education Incentive: Increase the education incentive to the following amounts effective following Council adoption in an effort to keep pace with the education incentive afforded to the Police Officers’ Association:
a. $250 to $300 per pay period for a bachelor’s degree
b. $350 to $400 per pay period for master’s degree
7. Health Insurance: Continue with medical insurance cost-sharing for the duration of the successor agreement.

Public Engagement

The City strives to maintain a reasonable difference in compensation between top step police staff officers’ classifications and top step of the classifications supervised. The difference between top steps of these classifications is targeted at a minimum of 15%, except between Police Sergeants and Lieutenants which will be a minimum of 20%.

July 2023 3% All Classifications
July 2024 3% All Classifications
July 2025 3% All Classifications

The salary ranges for the term of this agreement are listed in Appendix A.
8.2 Market Equity Adjustments
In addition to the above listed salary increases, the following job classifications shall receive market equity adjustments to be effective on the first full pay period of July 2023.

9 Job Title
Market Equity
Adjustment
Police Sergeant 7.00%
Police Lieutenant 15.25%
Deputy Police Chief 18.50%
Police Records Supervisor 2.00%
Communications Supervisor 8.00%
8.3 Rules Governing Step Increases:
The following rules shall govern step increases for employees:
1. Each salary range for Police Sergeant, Police Records Supervisor, and Communications Supervisor consists of six steps (1 through 6). Steps 1 through 5 equal 95% of the next highest step, computed to the nearest one dollar.
Step 5 = 95% of Step 6
Step 4 = 95% of Step 5
Step 3 = 95% of Step 4
Step 2 = 95% of Step 3
Step 1 = 95% of Step 2
Each across-the-board percentage salary increase shall raise step 6 of the respective range by that percentage. After all step 6's of salary ranges have been established,
Exhibit “A”
10 each step 6 shall be rounded off to the nearest $1.00 (biweekly) and the remaining steps established in accordance with the above formula.
Effective the first full pay period in July 2023, the existing Step 1 of the Police Lieutenant and Deputy Police Chief will be removed, making a total of five steps (1 through 5). Steps 1 through 4 equal 95% of the next highest step, computed to the nearest one dollar.
Step 4 = 95% of Step 5
Step 3 = 95% of Step 4
Step 2 = 95% of Step 3
Step 1 = 95% of Step 2
Each across-the-board percentage salary increase shall raise step 5 of the respective range by that percentage. After all step 5's of salary ranges have been established, each step 5 shall be rounded off to the nearest $1.00 (biweekly) and the remaining steps established in accordance with the above formula.
2. The time in step progression for employees with satisfactory performance will be one year per step.
3. An employee may be advanced to the next step in the salary range upon receiving an overall rating of at least “Meets Performance Standards” on the employee's annual performance evaluation, as approved by the Police Chief and the Human Resources Director, or their designees. Following completion of the annual performance evaluation, the employee’s step increase will be
Exhibit “A”
11 effective on the first day of the pay period that includes the employee’s position anniversary date.
4. Employees who are eligible for advancement to the top two steps of the salary range must receive a "Meets Performance Standards" or better on the overall rating on their most recent performance evaluation prior to or coincident with their being eligible for advancement by time in grade.
Exhibit “A”
12 ARTICLE 9 - OVERTIME
SWORN OVERTIME - POLICE SERGEANTS ONLY
9.1 SWORN CONTRACT OVERTIME
A. Contract overtime is defined as all hours worked in excess of their regularly scheduled shifts.
B. Employees are regularly assigned to work 160 hours in the 28-day work period.
C. All paid leave hours shall be counted as hours worked for purposes calculating overtime, to include Vacation, Holiday, Sick Leave, IOD (Workers’ Compensation), and Compensatory Time Off (CTO).
D. All contract overtime shall be authorized by the Police Chief, or designee, prior to being compensated. Contract overtime shall be paid in each pay period.
E. Police Sergeants shall be eligible for overtime pay.
9.2 FLSA/STATUTORY OVERTIME
A. In accordance with section 207(k) of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), the City has declared a twenty-eight-day work period for the purpose of calculating FLSA overtime. The FLSA work period is deemed to commence at 12:01 AM on the first day of the 28-day period and end at 11:59 PM on the 28th day of the 28-day work period and the FLSA overtime threshold for the work period is 171 hours. This declaration is separate and apart from the City’s contractual overtime obligations set forth in section 9.1 above.
B. For the purpose of complying with the FLSA overtime requirements, the City has adopted a dual calculation method whereby it calculates FLSA overtime in
Exhibit “A”
13 accordance with the requirements of FLSA regular rate and more specifically, 29 CFR section 778.109 and 778.110. This requires the payment of FLSA overtime for all hours actually worked by non-exempt sworn personnel in excess of 171 in the 28-day work period. To the extent the City’s dual calculation method determines that FLSA overtime owed for the 28-day work period exceeds the amount of contract overtime paid for the same work period, the difference will be paid to the employee by way of an “FLSA Adjustment” in the following City pay period.
9.3 COMPENSATION
A. All contract overtime as defined in Section 9.1 of this Article shall be paid in cash at time and one half (1 1/2) the employee's base rate of pay, plus incentives as defined in Section 9.4, or in CTO.
B. Separate and apart from the City’s contractual obligation to pay overtime in accordance with Section 9.1 above, the City is obligated to calculate and pay, at a minimum, FLSA overtime based on the federally defined regular rate of pay which includes cash in lieu in compliance with the Flores v. City of San Gabriel decision applicable to non-exempt sworn members of the Association. This calculation will be administered with Section 9.1 above.
9.4 Compensatory Time Off (CTO)
A. An employee who earns contract overtime as defined in Section 9.1 above, may elect compensation in the form of time off (CTO). An employee may be compensated at the rate of one and one-half (1 1/2) hours for each hour of
Exhibit “A”
14 overtime worked. However, no employee shall accumulate and have current credit for more than 100 hours of CTO.
B. The Association and the City agree that CTO usage is subject to normal time off approval processes and may be denied if it would result in the need for overtime overage (except when scheduled in conjunction with approved vacation).
C. Upon separation from employment or promoting to a position that is not eligible for CTO, the employee’s accrued CTO will be paid out at the employee’s base rate of pay.
9.5 PAY INCENTIVES TO BE INCLUDED IN THE BASE RATE FOR OVERTIME UNDER SECTIONS 9.1 AND 9.2

9.6 SHIFT ADJUSTMENT
In the matter of shift adjustments, it is agreed that the following guidelines will be followed:
In any situation necessitating a shift adjustment, volunteers will first be sought. Shift adjustments will not be for more than two hours. Shift adjustments for special units or assignments are not covered by this guideline and remain the discretion of the Unit Supervisor or Bureau Commander.
Exhibit “A”
15 Whenever volunteers cannot be located, Sergeants assigned will be chosen sequentially by seniority.
Generally, no more than two Sergeants per shift should be ordered to adjust unless a specific event necessitates it.
At least 14 days’ notice will normally be given, but in no event will less than seven days’ notice be given, for an ordered shift adjustment. A Sergeant authorized to shift adjust will not suffer loss of briefing pay or other normal benefit.
Sergeants will be given at least ten hours between shifts for ordered nonemergency shift adjustments. Shift adjustments will not be ordered to deal with court or shift continuation unless it is necessary to ensure the Sergeant has adequate rest. If court or another assignment prevents a Sergeant from getting proper rest between shifts, the Sergeant and the Watch Commander may arrange a shift adjustment to meet this need. With approval, the Sergeant could opt to use adjusted court time towards normal work hours instead of overtime, or to adjust shift start time up to four hours. In cases where the Watch Commander determines an adjustment is warranted but does not have sufficient staffing, s/he is authorized to bring in a replacement (on overtime) for up to four hours. Shift adjustments will not be limited by day or time except as articulated above.
9.7 GUARANTEED MINIMUMS FOR RETURNING TO WORK
Exhibit “A”
16 Whenever an employee is required by the department to return to work outside of the employee's normal work hours, if a minimum applies as found in this article, then the employee has the choice of taking the minimum or taking the pay for the work actually performed.

To the extent the City’s dual calculation method determines that FLSA overtime owed for the seven-day work period exceeds the amount of City/Contract overtime paid for the same seven-day work period, the difference will be paid to the employee by way of an “FLSA Adjustment” in the following City pay period.
9.15 COMPENSATION

An employee may be compensated at the rate of one and one-half (1 1/2) hours for each hour of overtime worked.

30 ARTICLE 14 - HEALTH CARE INSURANCE
14.1 HEALTH FLEX CONTRIBUTION
Employees electing medical coverage in the City’s plans shall receive a health flex contribution, as defined by the Affordable Care Act (“ACA”), and shall purchase such coverage through the City’s Section 125 Plan “Cafeteria Plan”. If the health flex contribution is less than the cost of the medical plan, the employee shall have the opportunity to pay the difference between the health flex contribution and the premium cost on a pre-tax basis through the City’s Cafeteria Plan. If the premium cost for medical coverage is less than the health flex allowance, the employee shall not receive any unused health flex contribution in the form of cash or purchase additional benefits under the Cafeteria Plan. Less than full-time employees shall receive a prorated share of the health flex contribution. The existing 2023 plan year monthly health flex contribution is:
Level of Coverage 2023 Monthly Rate
Employee Only $ 698
Employee Plus One $ 1,268
Family $ 1,683
Effective for the 2024, 2025, 2026, and 2027 premiums, the health flex contribution shall be modified by an amount equal to one-half of the average percentage change for family coverage in the PERS health plans available in San Luis Obispo County. For example: if three plans are available and the year-to-year changes were +10%, +20%, and -6%
Exhibit “A”
31 respectively, the health flex contribution would be increased by 4% (10% + 20% + -6% ÷ 3 = 8% x 1/2).
The City agrees to continue providing the health flex contribution for two (2) pay periods in the event that an employee has exhausted all paid time off due to an employee's catastrophic illness. That is, the employee shall receive regular City health flex contribution for the first two pay periods following the pay period in which the employee's accrued vacation and sick leave balances reach zero.
14.2 PERS HEALTH BENEFIT PROGRAM
The City has elected to participate in the PERS Health Benefit program. The City shall contribute an equal amount towards the cost of medical coverage under the Public Employee’s Medical and Hospital Care Act (PEMHCA) for both active employees and retirees. The City’s contribution toward coverage under PEMHCA shall be the statutory minimum contribution amount established by CalPERS on an annual basis. The City's contribution will come out of that amount the City currently contributes to employees as part of the Cafeteria Plan provided to employees in their various MOU's. The cost of the City's participation in PERS will not require the City to expend additional funds toward health insurance beyond what is already provided for in the various bargaining agreements. In summary, this cost and any increases will be borne by the employees.
14.3 CONDITIONAL OPT-OUT (Cash-in-Lieu)
Employees who, at initial enrollment or during the annual open enrollment period, complete an attestation form (as reasonable evidence) that they and all individuals for whom they expect to claim a personal exemption deduction (“Tax Family”) have
Exhibit “A”
32 alternative minimum essential coverage (other than coverage in the individual market and other than individual coverage through Covered California), , will be allowed to receive cash-in-lieu of the health flex contribution and medical coverage through the City’s medical plans for themselves and their qualified dependents (Tax Family). The monthly conditional opt-out (Cash-in-Lieu) incentive is:
Opt Out $598
The conditional opt-out incentive shall be paid as Cash-in-Lieu (taxable income) to the employee. The employee must notify the City within 30 days of the loss of alternative minimum essential coverage. The conditional opt-out payment shall no longer be payable, if the employee or family members cease to be enrolled in alternative minimum essential coverage. The City must not and will not pay Cash-in-Lieu if the City knows or has reason to know that the employee or an individual in the employee’s Tax Family does not have the required alternative coverage. Employees receiving the conditional opt-out amount will also be assessed $16.00 per month to be placed in the Retiree Health Insurance Account. This account will be used to fund the City's contribution toward retiree premiums and the City's costs for the Public Employee's Contingency Reserve Fund and the Administrative Costs. However, there is no requirement that these funds be used exclusively for this purpose nor any guarantee that they will be sufficient to fund retiree health costs, although they will be used for negotiated employee benefits.
14.4 DENTAL AND VISION INSURANCE/DEPENDENT COVERAGE
Exhibit “A”
33 Employee’s participation in the City's dental and vision plans is optional. Employees who elect coverage shall pay the dental and/or vision premium by payroll deductions on a pre-tax basis through the City’s Cafeteria Plan.
14.5 LONG-TERM DISABILITY INSURANCE (LTD)
Sworn employees are covered for Long-Term Disability Insurance through the Association and are responsible for premium payments. Non-sworn employees continue to be covered under the City’s Long-Term Disability Insurance Program.
14.6 LIFE INSURANCE AND ACCIDENTAL DEATH AND DISMEMBERMENT Employees shall have life insurance and Accidental Death and Dismemberment (AD&D) coverage of Forty-Five Thousand Dollars ($45,000). Twenty Thousand Dollars ($20,000) of life insurance shall be paid by the employees through the City’s Cafeteria Plan and Twenty-Five Thousand ($25,000) shall be paid by the City. The City pays the $45,000 of AD&D coverage.

Placement: Consent
Estimated Time: n/a
FROM: Todd Tuggle, Fire Chief
Prepared By: Nicole Vert, Administrative Analyst
SUBJECT: AUTHORIZE THE PURCHASE OF SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING
APPARATUS
RECOMMENDATION
1. Approve the purchase of Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus in the amount of $463,557.75 from Bauer Compressors, Inc.; and
2. Authorize the Finance Director to execute and issue a Purchase Order upon approval.
POLICY CONTEXT
This action is considered a purchase of goods and in compliance with the City’s Municipal Code Section 3.24.080, which requires Council approval for any purchase in excess of $200,000.
Section 3.24.210 of the City’s Municipal Code allows for evaluation of life-cycle costing, analysis of service and maintenance when determining lowest responsible bidder.
DISCUSSION
Background
Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) are an essential personal protective equipment device worn to provide breathable air in an atmosphere that is immediately dangerous to life and health. They are an integral safety component for Firefighters and are the foundational tool that provide the greatest amount of airway protection from toxic gas and harmful particulates resulting from the fire, allowing firefighters to conduct rescues and suppress fire in an otherwise life-threatening environment.
The National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA), the organization responsible for setting fire safety standards, established a 15-year lifespan for SCBA’s. The Fire Department’s SCBA’s were purchased in 2009 and are at the end of their useful life based on the manufacture date, necessitating replacement. Manufacturers also align their recommended lifecycle with NFPA standards. SCBA’s require annual testing to remain in compliance and to ensure they perform properly while in use.
Item 6d
Bid Award
Staff advertised a Request for Quotes (RFQ) in March 2023. Bauer Compressors and LN Curtis were the two quotes received. Bauer Compressors’ quote is $463,557.75 (Attachment A). While this is $37,586.56 over the quote LN Curtis provided (Attachment B), staff recommends awarding the bid to Bauer Compressors due to subsequent services costs and level of service as detailed below.
The recommended supplier of the units will perform the testing and necessary maintenance throughout the life of the units, as well as all warranty repairs. As the units have a 15-year lifespan, staff requested post purchase service agreements. Only Bauer Compressors, Inc, provided a detailed scope of work (Attachments C and D), which had a 30% lower per unit cost than the informal quote for service testing provided by LN Curtis.
Bauer provided a quote of $85 per unit for annual testing while LN Curtis quoted $110 per unit (Attachment E) Over the life of the SCBA’s, the overall cost to purchase and annually service the equipment through Bauer is expected to be similar to the quote provided by LN Curtis. Staff is will establish a service agreement with the recommended supplier to ensure annual servicing and testing of the SCBA units.
Staff also evaluated the responsiveness and reliability of the vendors. Bauer Compressors have already proven to be quicker to respond and provide more clarity in requested information. Additionally, Bauer Compressors currently services the Fire Department’s air compressor used to re-fill SCBA air bottles and staff have received exceptional service and responsiveness. Furthermore, Bauer is the chosen vendor for several local agencies, including Paso Robles Fire and Emergency Services, Five Cities Fire Authority and Cal Fire/San Luis Obispo County Fire. Staff consulted with these agencies, and they concurred with the satisfaction of Bauer’s service and pricing.
Public Engagement

The Public Safety Equipment Replacement Fund was established in 2019 to ensure funding is planned and available for replacement of equipment. SCBA’s are a scheduled equipment item in this fund due to the defined and extended lifespan and the critical nature of replacement for the health and safety of the firefighters. The original amount budgeted for the purchase was $320,000. Due to unexpected inflation the eventual cost was much higher. During the 2023-2025 budget planning the Fire Department requested and was granted an increased contribution to the fund, ensuring the health of the fund for continued scheduled purchases The Fire Department’s operating budget under the General Fund includes annual testing and servicing, which will be an ongoing expense associated with this purchase.
ALTERNATIVES
1. Council could choose to deny purchase of SCBA’s. Staff does not recommend this as the current SCBA’s are at their end of useful life, not having current units could be life-threatening and may prevent firefighters from conducting rescues and taking offensive strategies to extinguish fires.
2. Council could deny bid award to the recommended supplier and award the bid to the alternative supplier. Staff does not recommend as Bauer Compressors has proven to the be the more reliable vendor and lifetime costs of the SCBA’s will even out the purchase cost disparity.

6. Alternative Proposals. The proposer may submit an alternative proposal (or proposals) that it believes will also meet the City's project objectives but in a different way.

8. Accuracy of Specifications. The specifications for this project are believed by the City to be accurate and to contain no affirmative misrepresentation or any concealment of fact.

In preparing its proposal, the bidder and all subcontractors named in its proposal shall bear sole responsibility for proposal preparation errors resulting from any misstatements or omissions in the plans and specifications that could easily have been ascertained by examining either the project site or accurate test data in the City's possession. Although the effect of ambiguities or defects in the plans and specifications will be as determined by law, any patent ambiguity or defect shall give rise to a duty of bidder to inquire prior to proposal submittal. Failure to so inquire shall cause any such ambiguity or defect to be construed against the bidder. An ambiguity or defect shall be considered patent if it is of such a nature that the bidder, assuming reasonable skill, ability and diligence on its part, knew or should have known of the existence of the ambiguity or defect. Furthermore, failure of the bidder or subcontractors to notify City in writing of specification or plan defects or ambiguities prior to proposal submittal shall waive any right to assert said defects or ambiguities subsequent to submittal of the proposal.
To the extent that these specifications constitute performance specifications, the City shall not be liable for costs incurred by the successful bidder to achieve the project’s objective or standard beyond the amounts provided there for in the proposal.
In the event that, after awarding the contract, any dispute arises as a result of any actual or alleged ambiguity or defect in the plans and/or specifications, or any other matter whatsoever, Contractor shall immediately notify the City in writing, and the Contractor and all subcontractors shall continue to perform, irrespective of whether or not the ambiguity or defect is major, material, minor or trivial, and irrespective of whether or not a change order, time extension, or additional compensation has been granted by City. Failure to provide the hereinbefore described written notice within one (1) working day of contractor's becoming aware of the facts giving rise to the dispute shall constitute a waiver of the right to assert the causative role of the defect or ambiguity in the plans or specifications concerning the dispute.

However, notwithstanding the previous sentence, in the event one or more defendants is unable to pay its share of defense costs due to bankruptcy or dissolution of the business, Contractor shall meet and confer with other parties regarding unpaid defense costs.
(d) The review, acceptance or approval of the Contractor’s work or work product by any indemnified party shall not affect, relieve or reduce the Contractor’s indemnification or defense obligations. This Section survives completion of the services or the termination of this contract. The provisions of this Section are not limited by and do not affect the provisions of this contract relating to insurance.
17. Contract Assignment. The Contractor shall not assign, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of the contract, or its right, title or interest, or its power to execute such a contract to any individual or business entity of any kind without the previous written consent of the City.
18. Termination for Convenience. The City may terminate all or part of this Agreement for any or no reason at any time by giving 30 days written notice to Contractor. Should the City terminate this Agreement for convenience, the City shall be liable as follows: (a) for standard or off-the-shelf products, a reasonable restocking charge not to exceed ten (10) percent of the total purchase price; (b) for custom products, the less of a reasonable price for the raw materials, components work in progress and any finished units on hand or the price per unit reflected on this Agreement. For termination of any services pursuant to this Agreement, the City’sliability will be the lesser of a reasonable price for the services rendered prior to termination, or the price for the services reflected on this Agreement. Upon termination notice from the City, Contractor must, unless otherwise directed, cease work and follow the City’s directions as to work in progress and finished goods.
19. Termination. If, during the term of the contract, the City determines that the Contractor is not faithfully abiding by any term or condition contained herein, the City may notify the Contractor in writing of such defect or failure to perform. This notice must give the Contractor a 10 (ten) calendar day notice of time thereafter in which to perform said work or cure the deficiency.
If the Contractor has not performed the work or cured the deficiency within the ten days specified in the notice, such shall constitute a breach of the contract and the City may terminate the contract immediately by written notice to the Contractor to said effect. Thereafter, neither party shall have any further duties, obligations, responsibilities, or rights under the contract except, however, any and all obligations of the Contractor’s surety shall remain in full force and effect, and shall not be extinguished, reduced, or in any manner waived by the terminations thereof.
In said event, the Contractor shall be entitled to the reasonable value of its services performed from the beginning date in which the breach occurs up to the day it received the City’s Notice of Termination, minus any offset from such payment representing the City’s damages from such breach. “Reasonable value” includes fees or charges for goods or services as of the last milestone or task satisfactorily delivered or completed by the Contractor as may be set forth in

EXHIBIT C
INSURANCE
Without limiting Contractor’s indemnification of City, and prior to commencement of work, Contractor shall obtain, provide, and maintain at its own expense during the term of this Agreement, policies of insurance of the types and amounts described below and in a form that is satisfactory to City.
General liability insurance. Contractor shall maintain commercial general liability insurance with coverage at least as broad as Insurance Services Office form CG 00 01, in an amount not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence, $2,000,000 general aggregate, for bodily injury, personal injury, and property damage. The policy must include contractual liability that has not been amended. Any endorsement restricting standard ISO “insured contract” language will not be accepted.
Automobile liability insurance. Contractor 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 Contractor 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.
Umbrella or excess liability insurance. [If required to meet higher limits]. Contractor may obtain and maintain an umbrella liability insurance policy with limits that will provide bodily injury, personal injury, and property damage liability coverage, including commercial general liability, automobile liability, and employer’s liability. Such policy or policies shall include the following terms and conditions:
• A drop-down feature requiring the policy to respond if any primary insurance that would otherwise have applied proves to be uncollectible in whole or in part for any reason, other than bankruptcy or insolvency of said primary insurer;
• “Pay on behalf of” wording as opposed to “reimbursement”; • Concurrency of effective dates with primary policies.
Excess insurance. Should Contractor obtain and maintain an excess liability policy, such policy shall be excess over commercial general liability, automobile liability, and employer’s liability policies. Such policy or policies shall include wording that the excess liability policy follows the terms and conditions of the underlying policies.
Workers’ compensation insurance. Contractor shall maintain Workers’ Compensation Insurance (Statutory Limits) and Employer’s Liability Insurance (with limits of at least $1,000,000). Contractor shall submit to City, along with the certificate of insurance, a Waiver of Subrogation endorsement in favor of City, its officers, agents, employees, and volunteers Notice of cancellation. Contractor agrees to oblige its insurance agent or broker and insurers to provide the City with a thirty (30) day notice of cancellation (except for nonpayment for which a ten (10) day notice is required) or nonrenewal of coverage for each required coverage.
If any of the Contractor’s insurers are unwilling to provide such notice, then Contractor shall have the City of San Luis Obispo Bid 2303-002
3/6/2023 4:12 PM p. 24
-20-
responsibility of notifying the City immediately in the event of Contractor’s failure to renew any of the required insurance coverages or insurer’s cancellation or non-renewal.
Additional insured status. General liability, automobile liability, and umbrella/excess liability insurance policies shall provide or be endorsed to provide that City and its officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers shall be additional insureds under such policies.
Prohibition of undisclosed coverage limitations. None of the coverages required herein shall comply with these requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been first submitted to City and approved of in writing.
Separation of insureds. A severability of interests provision must apply for all additional insureds ensuring that Contractor’s insurance shall apply separately to each insured against whom claim is made or suit is brought, except with respect to the insurer’s limits of liability. The policy(ies) shall not contain any cross-liability exclusions.
Pass through clause. Contractor agrees to ensure that its subconsultants, subcontractors, and any other party who is brought onto or involved in the project/service by Contractor (hereinafter collectively “subcontractor”), provide the same minimum insurance coverage and endorsements required of Contractor. Contractor agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section. However, in the event Contractor’s subcontractor cannot comply with this requirement, which proof must be submitted to the City, Contractor shall be required to ensure that its subcontractor provide and maintain insurance coverage and endorsements sufficient to the specific risk of exposure involved with subcontractor’s scope of work and services, with limits less than required of the Contractor, but in all other terms consistent with the Contractor’s requirements under this agreement. This provision does not relieve the Contractor of its
contractual obligations under the agreement and/or limit its liability to the amount of insurance coverage provided by its subcontractors. This provision is intended solely to provide Contractor with the ability to utilize a subcontractor who may be otherwise qualified to perform the work or services but may not carry the same insurance limits as required of the Contractor under this agreement given the limited scope of work or services provided by the subcontractor. Contractor agrees that upon request, all agreements with subcontractors, and others engaged in the project, will be submitted to City for review.
City’s right to revise specifications. The City reserves the right at any time during the term of the contract to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the Contractor ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to the Contractor, the City and Contractor may renegotiate Contractor’s compensation.
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 through confirmation from the underwriter.
Timely notice of claims. Contractor shall give City prompt and timely notice of claims made or suits instituted that arise out of or result from Contractor’s performance under this Agreement, and that involve or may involve coverage under any of the required liability policies.

Council Agenda Correspondence
DATE: July 11, 2023
TO: Mayor and Council
FROM: Greg Avakian, Parks & Recreation Director
Meghan Burger, Recreation Manager
VIA: Derek Johnson, City Manager
SUBJECT: ITEM 6E - COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE
CITY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO AND THE SAN LUIS OBISPO MUSEUM OF ART
Staff received the following questions regarding the Community Partnership Agreement between the City of San Luis Obispo and the San Luis Obispo Museum of Art. The questions are below with staff’s response shown in italics:
1) Page 172 of the packet says: “In addition to the Recreation Manager, a twoyear contract position was funded as part of the 25-27 budget…” Is the reference to 25-27 budget an error?
Yes, this was a typographical error; the position is budgeted as part of the 2023- 2025 Financial Plan.
2) Page 173 of the packet says: “On February 18, 2010, the City entered into an updated Lease Agreement with SLOMA (formerly the San Luis Obispo Art Center and prior to that the San Luis Obispo Art Association) to include terms and provisions to extend the lease term until 2065, specify operational hours and procedures, and construct a new facility on the premises on or before 2025.”
Is it being proposed here that the City of San Luis Obispo give SLOMA additional funding to construct a new facility?
No, this statement was a reference to previous Council actions (2010). The Council Agenda Report from July 20, 2021, makes reference to the Facility Lease Agreement with SLOMA which mentions - within the previous agreement - SLOMA’s intention to construct a new facility on the premises on or before 2025.
The lease agreement states that “The Art Center intends to complete construction of a new building at its own expense, in accordance with the design approved by the City.” At the time, SLOMA was in the midst of a $15 million capital campaign to construct the three-story center as planned, designed, and approved.
Item 6e - Community Partnership Agreement with San Luis Obispo Museum of Art 3) On page 179 of the packet, the contract with SLOMA explains that we will pay them $100K per year for their assistance in coordinating, finding the art, etc.), and then up to $400K for three art installations. It later says we will pay for 40% of the installation. Does that contribution to the art installation come out of the $400K, or is additional funding required?
The 40% is included in the financial allocation of up to $400,000 annually. The funds are allocated to SLOMA as part of the partnership agreement, however not directly transferred until the projects are in process. As noted in 2.2.a (Purchase or Lease of Art) of the partnership agreement, the City will “pay a 40% deposit at the time of contract execution and the remaining due at time of completion.” Similarly, 2.2.b (Installation Costs) of the agreement notes that the City will pay SLOMA “40% towards the costs of installation at the time of contract execution and the remaining due at time of completion.” The reimbursement of qualifying expenses is limited by the agreement which notes that costs shall not exceed $400,000 annually (2.2).
4) The table below (provided on p. 3 of the partnership agreement) specifies that one of the three pieces acquired each year should be in a roundabout.
Is that left over from last year’s contract, and if so, should it be left there? Or should the City give itself more flexibility on the location of the piece? The City has a number of roundabout projects as part of the CIP projects list. Staff’s recommendation is that the City continue to install one roundabout public art piece per year, as was the intention in the City’s previous contract with SLOMA. The amount budgeted for each year is up to $250,000, which has been accounted for in a CIP project for this direct purpose. However, if the full amount is not activated, the City could potentially apply the difference toward a different type of piece that is not in a roundabout, and staff would transfer the funding from the roundabout public art CIP project to fund that piece.
Item 6e
Department: Parks and Recreation
Cost Center: 7001
For Agenda of: 7/11/2023
Placement: Consent
Estimated Time: N/A
FROM: Greg Avakian, Parks & Recreation Director
Prepared By: Meghan Burger, Recreation Manager
SUBJECT: COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF
SAN LUIS OBISPO AND THE SAN LUIS OBISPO MUSEUM OF ART
RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the Mayor to execute a two-year Community Partnership Agreement with the San Luis Obispo Museum of Art for installation of several public art projects each year.
POLICY CONTEXT
The recommended actions are in accordance with the City’s Major City Goal (MCG) of “Economic Resiliency, Cultural Vitality and Fiscal Sustainability.” The Arts and Cultural District concept (MCG Strategy 1.4) is also one of the hallmarks of the Downtown Concept Plan and in furtherance of the City’s long-standing Public Art Program. Specifically, the City will continue to work with community partners to ensure cultural vitality of the City and will continue to execute the Public Art Master Plan of 2016.
The Public Art Master Plan of 2016 identified “Explore Different Staffing and Community Partnership Models” as Goal 5, with Goal 5.2 recommending that staff “Explore community partnerships for shared resources and programming.”
DISCUSSION
Background
The City of San Luis Obispo enjoys a long-standing public/private partnership with the San Luis Obispo Museum of Art (SLOMA) that stretches back over 50 years. While the relationship and nature of the partnership has supported a wide variety of activities and initiatives in support of the visual arts, a core element has been the City’s lease of a portion of real property at the corner of Monterey Street and Broad Street tangent to Mission Plaza where the museum facility itself is located.
In 2021, the City expanded its partnership with SLOMA to include a Community Partnership Agreement for the purpose of building capacity and expertise in the administration of the City’s Public Art program over the course of a two-year term.
Identified projects included: 1) Downtown Public Art Installations, 2) Roundabout Public Art Installations, and 3) Neighborhood Greenway Installations and that Agreement expires on July 21, 2023.
Item 6e
Over the first two-year Community Partnership Agreement period, July 2021 – July 2023, SLOMA assisted with five installations: Maria Molteni’s Seven Sisters mural installed in November 2021, Anila Agha’s The Greys in Between sculpture installed at the Tank Farm Roundabout in October 2022, and three rotating sculptures on the Mission Plaza Lawn.
Each of these installations have enhanced the partnership between the City and SLOMA as well as increased community and visitor awareness to the museum and the City’s public art program.
On May 19, 2023, SLOMA provided a proposal to the City to continue the Community Partnership Agreement for an additional two-year term for an annual fee of $100,000 (Attachment B).
With the proposed two-year Community Partnership Agreement (Attachment A), the City and SLOMA identified enhancements for SLOMA to undertake to benefit the City’s Public Art Program and those include:
1) Providing SLOMA authority under the new Agreement to use its expertise (as evidence in their proposal, Attachment B, Exhibit A) to select art via sole-source acquisition, as allowed under the City’s Public Art Manual, with final approval of the acquisition delegated by Council to the City Manager; 2) SLOMA to designate its own community advisory groups prior to and throughout the acquisition and installation process for input on pieces; 3) Specifying what the City will fund specifically as part of the approved acquisition and installation; clarifying which expenses the City will not fund; 4) More specifically defining roles and responsibilities for each of the partners, including what should be included in the art installation costs and what is the responsibility of SLOMA;
5) Using updated the City contract template for this Community Partnership.
Current Role of City Departments
As the Draft Agreement highlights, SLOMA will support one part of the public art program.
City staff will continue to support the public art program in a variety of ways. The Recreation Manager will continue to serve as a liaison to SLOMA, as well as continue management of all other sectors of the public art program:
1) Infrastructure management,
2) Maintenance and care of the city’s collection,
3) Coordination of private and voluntary art installations, 4) Coordination of local park activation through the arts and installation of temporary art projects,
a. Utility box program,
5) Advocacy and outreach, and recreational programming.
In addition to the Recreation Manager, a two-year contract position was funded as part of the 25-27 budget and lastly the Volunteer Coordinator will assist with volunteer recruitment for maintenance. Public Works staff continue to maintain shared facility spaces, including the Mission Plaza lawn, manage maintenance when resources allow and provide guidance for installations.
Item 6e
The Community Development team will continue to work with staff on private installations and support SLOMA with necessary permitting for installations impacting traffic or requiring final inspection. The City’s Tourism team will continue to cross-promote art and provide outreach opportunities through the PCC. Finally, the Communications team conducts marketing and promotions of the joint installations, as well as the City’s pieces.
Previous Council or Advisory Body Action
On February 20, 1967, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 367 (1967 Series) in order to allow for the lease of a portion of Mission Plaza to be used for the purposes of operating a museum structure addressed at 1010 Broad Street within a defined premises that is further identified in that 1967 Lease Agreement.
On February 18, 2010, the City entered into an updated Lease Agreement with SLOMA (formerly the San Luis Obispo Art Center and prior to that the San Luis Obispo Art Association) to include terms and provisions to extend the lease term until 2065, specify operational hours and procedures, and construct a new facility on the premises on or before 2025.
On July 20, 2021, Council approved a two-year Community Partnership Agreement with SLOMA.
Public Engagement
Public comment on the item can be provided to the City Council through written correspondence prior to the meeting and through public testimony at the meeting.
CONCURRENCE
The City Attorney’s Office, the City’s Risk Manager and the City’s Finance team have reviewed the relevant legal documents associated with the Community Partnership Agreement with SLOMA and have concluded that there are no barriers to the recommendations stated herein. The Executive Director of SLOMA has reviewed and supported the draft agreement.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The California Environmental Quality Act does not apply to the recommended action in this report, because the action does not constitute a "Project" under CEQA Guidelines Sec. 15378.
Item 6e
FISCAL IMPACT
Budgeted: Yes Budget Year: 2023-24
Funding Identified: Yes
Fiscal Analysis:
The Community Partnership Agreement provides for funding in the amount of $100,000 annually ($200,000 total for the two-year term) to SLOMA as compensation for the duties and obligations described therein.
