90th Percentile Response Time: Overall Response
FY 25-26 FY 26-27
The San Marino Fire Department has adopted the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 1710 standards for response time reporting. NFPA standards represent aspirational goals for Fire Departments. By measuring response in percentiles rather than averages, the Fire Department is able to more accurately measure performance of responding units. The time reported as the 90th percentile turnout or response time means that 90% of incidents were as fast, or faster, than the reported time.

SUBJECT: FALL 2026 PUBLIC TREE REMOVAL LIST
STRATEGIC PLAN CRITICAL SUCCESS FACTORS
Beautiful, Preserved, Single-Family Neighborhoods
Efficient, Responsive, and Effective City Services
Safe Community
Well-Maintained Infrastructure
BACKGROUND
On October 27, 2023, the City Council adopted revisions to the City’s Street Tree Policy and Procedures that amended the tree removal process. Under the revised Policy, the Parks & Public Works Department must submit a list of recommended tree removals to the City Council’s tree liaisons for review and comment before presenting the list to the full City Council as an informational item. City Council Member Shepherd Romey serves as the primary tree liaison, and City Council Member Hunter Chang serves as the alternate.
Pursuant to Section 7.1 of the City’s Street Tree Policy, the Department reviews the proposed tree removal list with the City Council tree liaison(s) so that the liaison(s) can verify the accuracy of the list and confirm that the proposed removals comply with the requirements of the Policy.
On June 26, 2026, the Department presented eleven (11) City-owned trees to the City Council for consideration as part of the Summer 2026 tree removal process. Following discussion, the City Council requested additional evaluation of three (3) of the eleven (11) trees before the Department proceeded with removal. The additional evaluation was intended to determine the extent of each tree’s decline and whether any treatment options may reasonably extend Tony Chou, Mayor

the trees’ useful life safely, including consideration of the potential cost and effectiveness of such treatments. The Department subsequently scheduled Sonic Tomography testing for all three (3) trees and additional root crown excavation for one (1) tree, consistent with the arborist’s recommendations.
The Department provided the proposed Fall 2026 tree removal list to the primary and alternate tree liaisons on August 28, 2026. The list includes twenty-two (22) City-owned trees considered as part of the Fall 2026 tree removal process. Of these, twenty-one (21) trees are recommended for removal, consisting of nineteen (19) trees newly identified for the Fall 2026 removal cycle and two (2) trees previously presented during the Summer 2026 removal cycle.
The Department provided photographs and arborist reports prepared by the City’s contracted arborist, Harnisch Tree Care Consulting Arborists, for the trees included in the Fall 2026 review. Following the liaison review, the Department is presenting the recommendations to the City Council as an informational item.
DISCUSSION
The Department has prepared a Fall 2026 City Tree Review List containing twenty-two (22) City-owned trees. Trees #1 through #3 were previously presented to the City Council as part of the Summer 2026 tree removal process and underwent additional evaluation following the City Council’s request. These trees are located at 1430 Cambridge Road (Tree #1), 1101 Lorain Road (Tree #2), and 2290 Sherwood Road (Tree #3). Trees #4 through #22 represent nineteen (19) trees newly identified for the Fall 2026 removal cycle.
The City recognizes that its street trees are an important community asset.
The City’s extensive tree canopy contributes significantly to the beauty, character, and quality of life of the community, and the City has established policies and procedures for public (and private) trees that are intended to protect this resource and prevent unwarranted removal. Accordingly, tree removal is not undertaken lightly. Staff recommendations in this report are based on documented arboricultural conditions and the specific removal criteria established by the City Council in Section 7.2 of the City’s Street Tree Policy.
Of the three (3) trees previously presented during the Summer 2026 process, Trees #2 and #3 are now recommended for removal based on the results of additional evaluation, while Tree #1 is not recommended for removal at this time. The twenty-one (21) trees recommended for removal have been PAGE 31 of 688
identified as meeting one (1) or more of the applicable removal criteria established in Section 7.2 of the City’s Street Tree Policy. Section 7.2 of the Policy establishes the following justifications for tree removal:
• The tree is dead.
• The tree has reached an over-mature condition and is in declining health that will result in its death within the year.
• The tree is infected with a disease that cannot be treated successfully and/or there is a strong potential that the pathogen could spread to other trees in the immediate vicinity.
• The tree has been determined to be a public health and safety hazard because of its high potential for failure due to considerable dead or dying foliage, branches, roots, or trunk.
• The tree requires extensive root pruning because of excessive hardscape damage resulting in a severe reduction in its capacity to support itself and thereby creating a potential safety hazard. • The tree due to its growth habit and location creates a safety hazard. • Removal of the tree has been approved as part of a City Councilapproved capital improvement project.
The City’s contracted arborist, Harnisch Tree Care Consulting Arborists, evaluated the trees based on the documented arboricultural conditions and determined that each tree meets one (1) or more of the applicable removal criteria. While City staff continue to actively recruit to fill the Urban Forester position, the Parks & Public Works Department continues to utilize its contracted, licensed and certified arborist to perform tree evaluations and provide professional recommendations regarding tree maintenance and removal.
As part of the additional evaluation requested by the City Council, the Department completed Sonic Tomography testing for all three (3) trees previously presented to the City Council at a cost of $1,800 per tree. The entirety of that report is included as Attachment 3. The testing identified significant structural defects and decay in Tree #2, located at 1101 Lorain Road, and Tree #3, located at 2290 Sherwood Road. The arborist identified these conditions as presenting a significant potential for failure. Based on these findings, staff included both trees in the current Fall 2026 tree removal recommendations.
The Sonic Tomography testing for Tree #1, located at 1430 Cambridge Road, identified structural defects, decay, and excessive branch loading. Based on the arborist’s recommendation, the Department also completed a root crown excavation and inspection to further evaluate the tree’s condition. The root crown inspection did not identify significant decay at the trunk flare that would PAGE 32 of 688
warrant removal at this time. However, the arborist did not recommend treatment options given the presence of Ganoderma conk, a parasitic and saprophytic fungus, on the lower trunk. There is no cure or effective fungicide to stop the internal decay associated with the fungus. The Department will continue to maintain Tree #1 at 1430 Cambridge Road, monitor the tree monthly, and obtain additional arborist recommendations as needed.
Staff recommend proceeding with the twenty-one (21) tree removals identified in the Fall 2026 City Tree Review List in accordance with the City’s Street Tree Policy and the recommendations of the City’s consulting arborist.
The recommendation is based on the documented arboricultural condition of each individual tree and its evaluation against the City’s established removal criteria. The timing of the work would also allow the City to address the recommended maintenance and risk-management work as part of its planned Fall maintenance cycle, before winter weather conditions may place additional stress on trees and their supporting root systems.
Recent staff responses to several large-limb failures and one whole-tree failure over the past month provide additional context for the City’s ongoing urban forestry and tree-risk management activities. These incidents are not attributed to any single weather condition and are not being used as a basis for determining whether any individual tree should be removed. Completing the recommended removals under planned and controlled conditions will allow staff to address documented hazards proactively, and avoid, where possible, potentially having to respond to failures involving these trees as emergency incidents. Current seasonal forecasts provide an additional consideration for completing the work in a timely manner. Such proactive work is particularly important in anticipation of the much discussed El Niño weather pattern which is forecast to potentially be the strongest since 1950.
Completing the recommended removals under planned and controlled conditions would allow the City to coordinate resident notification, contractor scheduling, traffic and pedestrian controls, and replacement planting in an orderly manner. Replacement trees will be scheduled based on plant availability, site conditions, and appropriate planting seasons, thereby allowing the City to continue investing in and replenishing its urban forest.
The Fall 2026 City Tree Review List is included as Attachment 2. The corresponding arborist reports and additional evaluation documentation for Trees #1 through #3, which were previously presented during the Summer 2026 tree removal process, are included as Attachment 3. Supporting documentation for Trees #4 through #22, which represent the nineteen (19) trees newly identified for the Fall 2026 removal cycle, is included as Attachment 4.
PAGE 33 of 688
Residents at locations where tree removal is recommended will receive a minimum 10-day notice prior to any tree removal activities.
FISCAL IMPACT & PROCUREMENT REVIEW
The cost to remove each tree is approximately $700 per tree. The City’s adopted Fiscal Year 2026-27 budget includes $431,250 for tree maintenance, including tree removals, replacements, grid pruning, and emergency call-outs.
Funding is available in the Grounds Division – Other Contract Services account (Acct. No. 101-52-4150-0000) to cover the proposed work. Mariposa Tree Management, the City’s contracted tree maintenance vendor, performs tree removal services.
Proceeding with the recommended removals during the current planned maintenance cycle would allow the City to address the conditions identified in the arborist evaluations through scheduled work rather than, if a subsequent tree or limb failure were to occur, potentially relying on emergency response resources. Scheduled work may also reduce the potential for unplanned emergency response costs and any associated impacts to City operations.
Procurement review is not applicable.
LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney's office has reviewed and approved as to form.
RECOMMENDATION
This is an informational item; therefore, no action is required by the City Council.

Background and Assignment
You recently contacted me about three city owned oak trees that you were concerned about. I inspected the oaks earlier this year (January and May), and recommended that they be removed. You asked me to perform sonic tomography1 to provide further information.
I traveled to the City of San Marino on July 23, 2026. I assigned numbers 1-3 to the subject trees for identification purposes within this report. I took photographs and performed sonic tomography testing at two elevations on the trunk of each subject tree.
Limits of The Assignment
• Observations made in the following report are limited to those which are subject to this report only and based on sonic tomography testing done at two elevations on the trunk of each subject tree.
• They are also limited to what was observed at the time of inspection only. No additional in-depth above or below ground inspections were performed. Many such inspections may be necessary to be more conclusive about what was observed and are not included as part of this report.
• The following report is by no means to be considered as a formal risk assessment for the subject trees. All trees represent some risk of failure; especially those with observed defects. Even with a limited evaluation such as this, there is no guarantee that a tree will not fail unexpectedly. Trees are dynamic living organisms subject to many influencing factors. All trees are potentially hazardous regardless of their apparent health, vigor, or structural integrity. It is impossible to be 100% sure that a tree is absolutely safe. I recommend that you hire a qualified arborist to perform a risk assessment for the subject trees as soon as possible.
You as the tree owner/manager can decide how much risk you are willing to 1 Words in bold appear in glossary
PAGE 54 of 688
pg. 2
accept, weighed against the value and benefit that you receive from the subject trees.
Observations
The subject trees were all coast live oaks (Quercus agrifolia) and were located within the parkway (between the street and sidewalk) adjacent to the following addresses; Tree # Address
1 1430 Cambridge Rd. (Tree is located on Monterey Rd.)
2 2290 Sherwood Rd.
3 1101 Lorain Rd.
Oak 1
There was irrigated turf within the parkway near Oak 1. Irrigation did not appear to be directed against its base. There was a small conk that appeared to the fruiting body of a Ganoderma fungus (Ganoderma spp.) on the east side of its trunk (see Attachment A:
Photo 1).
The oak’s trunk flare did not appear to be well developed. Expansion of trunk tissue within the root transition zone was not present within most areas near the soil line (see Photo 2). Transverse cracks were seen on exposed portions of buttress roots (see Photo 3).
Foliage was sparse within its canopy; however, it appeared that regrowth had occurred since my previous site visit (last January). Several branches were over extended and appeared to be carrying excessive load.
Oak 2
Oak 2 was surrounded by ivy within the parkway. Its trunk flare was non-existent in most areas near the soil line (see Photo 4). There were obvious signs of decay within the oak’s lower trunk where response growth had formed around necrotic tissue (see Photo 5).
Oak 2 had low foliage density and an abnormal amount of deadwood within its canopy.
Oak 3
There was irrigated turf within the parkway near Oak 3, however, it did not appear to be directed against its trunk. There were obvious signs of decay within the lower trunk; cavities were present on its east and west sides. Necrotic tissue, which had been obscured by secondary bark, could be seen surrounding the two cavities.
Several conks were present at the base of the oak. They appeared to be fruiting bodies of Reishi fungus (Ganoderma lucidium).
Foliage density was low within its canopy and there was an abnormal amount of PAGE 55 of 688

deadwood at branch extremities.
Discussion
A tree’s heartwood is often located within the center of the trunk. In most trees, heartwood tissue is dead and does not contribute as much to stability as outer parts.
Depending on species and age, it is often absent within many mature trees creating a void.
Live vascular tissue is normally located within the outer portions of a tree’s trunk forming a cylindrical shell wall. It is more critical for structure and tree health than interior parts.
When the perimeter of a tree’s trunk is compromised, its vascular capacity can be diminished. Sometimes, but not always, the condition of a tree’s foliage can be an indication; deadwood and/or sparsity within a tree’s canopy can be an indication of internal decay. This can especially be true when such symptoms are seen in the uppermost portion of an oak where circulatory demand is greatest.
Sparse or discolored foliage throughout the entire canopy can be a sign of a stressed condition for other reasons. This can sometimes be due to poor soil conditions, root disfunction, soil contamination, insect feeding, pathogenic activity, or other causes. A healthy and vigorous oak tree normally has dark green and dense foliage with large leaves that have a glossy appearance.
Trees feed themselves through a process called photosynthesis which occurs on individual leaves. Low foliage density results in diminished photosynthetic activity and a stressed condition where resources are limited. It often predisposes a tree to attack from predatory insects or pathogens which it would normally fend off.
Mature coast live oak trees often contain decay within their roots and/or lower trunks due to Oak Root Fungus (Armillaria mellea). ORF is a fungal pathogen that usually forms below ground where conditions are favorable for its development. A healthy tree will have a well-developed flaring out of trunk material where it transitions into roots near the soil line. A flattened or concave appearance of the flare can result where tissue has been consumed.
ORF can eat away roots and progress upwards into the lower trunk causing decay. It is often concealed by secondary bark which is disfigured, has a rough texture, and has a distinct appearance. In addition, bulges of response growth will sometimes develop to compensate for the loss of underlying vascular tissue. It is generally accepted that trees in this condition are in decline and more prone to failure than those that are not.
PAGE 56 of 688
pg. 4
Ganoderma fungus is a very common cause of root and butt rot in urban trees. Infected trees will often fail eventually as decay progresses. Conks develop from Summer to Fall2. The size of the fruiting body can sometimes be correlated to the number of years a tree has been infected.
Sonic Tomography Testing
I performed testing on the subject trees utilizing a Rinntech sonic tomography device which measures stress wave velocities between sensors placed on a tree’s trunk or branch. When defective wood or voids are present, stress wave velocities are inhibited.
They generally travel faster through healthy, dense wood.
The device creates graphic images illustrating possible wood strength properties within cross-sectional areas where tested. Different color options can be selected to display results. For our purposes, sound wood would be shown in green where the highest velocities are realized. Unsound wood would be displayed in yellow and red. Red usually represents areas where stress wave velocities are the lowest; indicating where wood is severely compromised or absent. Areas of the graphic shown in yellow will often indicate where incipient decay is present.
Oak 1
I tested the trunk of Oak 1 at two elevations. I placed 18 sensors at 10 centimeters above grade and 21 sensors and 35 centimeters. Results of the testing done at the lower elevation (10cm) seemed to indicate that some compromised wood was present within the center of the cross section (heartwood) which is to be expected. Mostly sound wood was present elsewhere. Results of the test performed at the higher elevation showed similar conditions in the center, however, there appeared to be more incipient decay in outer portions. A small pocket of unsound wood between sensors 3 and 4 could indicate where tissue has been consumed by Ganoderma fungus (see Attachment B: Test Results/Oak 1).
.
Oak 2
Testing was done at 20 and 30cm utilizing 15 sensors on the trunk of Oak 2. Results of both tests indicated severely compromised wood or voids within most of the trunk. A small portion of sound wood could be seen on the tree’s west side between sensors 9 and 14 (see Attachment B: Test Results/Oak 2).
Oak 3
Oak 3 was tested at 20cm with 19 sensors and 75cm with 18 sensors. Results of the test at 20cm showed unsound wood on the tree’s west side between sensors 14 and 17 that appeared to be associated with the defect seen on the trunk (see Photo 6). Other portions of the trunk perimeter appeared mostly sound, however. 2 Luley, Christopher j. 2005; Wood Decay Fungi Common to Urban Living Trees in Northeast and Central United States.
PAGE 57 of 688
pg. 5
Results of the test done at 75cm indicated a smaller pocket of compromised wood on the oak’s west side and minor areas of incipient decay elsewhere (see Attachment B:
Test Results/Oak 3).
Conclusion
Oak 1
I was surprised by the results of the sonic tomography testing on Oak 1. I expected to see much worse conditions within its trunk; especially at the lower elevation.
Resprouting of foliage within its canopy was also encouraging.
I am concerned about incipient decay found in the second test (35cm), the inadequate trunk flare, cracks in buttress roots, Ganoderma fungus, and excessive branch loading. I believe that branches of Oak 1 could fail if nothing is done. The oak’s inadequate trunk flare and cracks seen in buttress roots could indicate root decay. Further testing would have to be done to be more certain, however.
I am unsure why the oak has such low foliage density; it could be from compromised roots or for other reasons. It may have predisposed it to attack from pathogens which has already begun. I believe that if conditions do not improve quickly, tree mortality is inevitable.
Oak 2
The results of the testing on Oak 2 were what I expected. It was one of the worst results I have encountered. That is probably because I would not normally bother testing a tree with such obvious defects. I believe that its branches, trunk, and roots are structurally compromised; it could fail at any time.
Oak 3
Based on the results of sonic tomography testing, I believe Oak 3 has severe decay within its trunk and possibly its roots. The conks at the base of the oak and obvious signs of decay on its trunk were alarming to me. I believe its poor foliage characteristics were due to circulatory impairment. I believe it is subject to failure at any time.
Recommendations
Oak 1
• Prune over extended branches under the direction of a consulting arborist immediately to prevent limb failures.
• Perform a root crown excavation and inspection and provide further recommendations based on findings.
Oak 2
• Remove tree immediately. Work should be done with the use of aerial equipment as the added weight of a tree climber could lead to a structural PAGE 58 of 688

failure.
Oak 3
• Remove tree immediately.
Let me know if I can be of further assistance in this matter,

SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF PROFESSIONAL DESIGN SERVICES
AGREEMENT WITH LOC ARCHITECTS IN THE AMOUNT OF
$135,330 FOR ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN SERVICES FOR
THE LACY PARK OFFICE RENOVATION PROJECT
STRATEGIC PLAN CRITICAL SUCCESS FACTORS
Efficient, Responsive, and Effective City Services
Fiscally Responsible and Transparent City Government
BACKGROUND
On May 29, 2026, the City Council approved the Fiscal Year 2026-27 Operating and Capital Improvement Program (CIP) budgets. As part of the CIP budget, the City Council appropriated $250,000 for the Lacy Park Office Renovation project. The project is intended to address significant deficiencies in the existing Parks & Public Works office facility at Lacy Park and modernize the interior of the building to better support current City operations.
The existing facility was originally constructed in the 1930s and has numerous deferred maintenance and operational deficiencies, including deteriorating interior walls, outdated flooring, aging plumbing, HVAC and electrical systems, moisture-related concerns, and accessibility deficiencies. The building also lacks sufficient office space and restroom accommodations to adequately support current staffing.
The facility was identified as a contributor to the historic character of Lacy Park in the City's 2020 Historic Resources Survey. Accordingly, the project is intended to preserve the exterior appearance and historic integrity of the structure, with improvements focused primarily on the interior, building Tony Chou, Mayor

systems, accessibility, and other necessary code-related upgrades rather than changes to the building's exterior.
The renovation is anticipated to include reconfiguration and modernization of staff work areas; improvements to locker room and restroom facilities; accessibility upgrades; electrical, mechanical, plumbing, and other building system improvements; fire and life-safety improvements; site drainage improvements, and seismic strengthening. The project will also address the lack of ADA-compliant accessible parking and accessible path of travel to the building. Construction is currently anticipated in FY 2027-28, with a preliminary construction cost estimate of approximately $1,000,000.
The first step in implementing the project is to retain an architectural design team to evaluate existing conditions and develop a comprehensive design for the renovation. The architectural services will include project programming, conceptual and schematic design, design development, preparation of construction documents, permitting and bid support, and coordination with the City's staff.
To procure these professional services through a competitive and transparent process, the City issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) through its electronic procurement platform on February 6, 2026. Four (4) proposals were received by the March 4, 2026 submittal deadline. Following evaluation of the proposals, interviews with the responding firms, and reference checks, staff recommend approval of a Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with LOC Architects (LOC).
DISCUSSION
The City received four (4) proposals in response to the RFP for architectural design services for the Lacy Park Office Renovation project:
• Dunbar Architecture
• LOC Architects
• ONYX Architects, Inc.
• Studio T-SQ, Inc.
Staff evaluated the proposals based on the firms' qualifications and relevant experience, understanding of the project, proposed approach, and ability to successfully deliver the required services. Separate cost proposals submitted by the firms ranged from $99,705 to $266,550. Interviews were also conducted as part of the selection process.
PAGE 146 of 688
In accordance with California Government Code Section 4526, the selection of architectural and engineering professional services is based on demonstrated competence and professional qualifications necessary for satisfactory performance of the required services and is not based solely on cost.
Accordingly, staff's evaluation focused primarily on qualifications, relevant experience, project understanding, and the firms' proposed approaches to successfully delivering the project.
Based on the overall evaluation, staff recommend LOC Architects for the project. LOC demonstrated relevant experience with renovation and adaptivereuse projects involving office, locker room, restroom, and other staff-oriented spaces. Of particular relevance is LOC's 18,000-square-foot renovation of Building G for Southern California Gas Company, which included offices, conference rooms, lockers, and restrooms serving both field and office personnel. LOC also recently completed a 2,750-square-foot interior remodel of dressing rooms and support spaces at the historic Hollywood Bowl and has experience with adaptive reuse through the conversion of an existing building into its own 1,200-square-foot office.
LOC's proposal also demonstrated an understanding of the specific challenges associated with the Lacy Park project, including the need to improve accessibility and code compliance, address aging building systems, accommodate office and locker room functions within a limited footprint, and maintain the building's existing character. Its proposed approach includes early evaluation of existing conditions and applicable code requirements, development of practical layout alternatives, coordination of architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, civil, fire protection, and environmental disciplines, and cost modeling at key design milestones.
The firm's approach is particularly responsive to the City's need to balance the project's preliminary construction budget with the significant improvements required for the aging facility. LOC proposes identifying code, accessibility, structural, and hazardous-material considerations early in the design process and providing coordinated construction documents intended to minimize construction uncertainty and reduce the potential for costly change orders during construction.
As part of the selection process, staff also conducted reference checks for LOC Architects. The references contacted by staff provided positive feedback regarding the firm's performance, responsiveness, professionalism, communication, and ability to successfully deliver projects. The reference checks further supported staff's assessment that LOC has the experience and capabilities necessary to perform the required services for the Lacy Park Office Renovation project.
PAGE 147 of 688
Based on the firm's relevant renovation and adaptive-reuse experience, qualifications of the proposed project team, understanding of the project requirements, proposed approach to managing scope and code requirements, consultant coordination, and construction costs, as well as the positive feedback received through reference checks, staff believe LOC Architects is well qualified to provide the architectural design services required for the Lacy Park Office Renovation project.
FISCAL IMPACT & PROCUREMENT REVIEW
The adopted FY 2026-27 budget includes an appropriation of $250,000 for the Lacy Park Office Renovation in Account No. 394-50-4600-7011 LOC Architects' proposal in the amount of $135,330 is within the amount identified in the CIP for architectural design services. Sufficient funds are available to proceed with the proposed design services.
Construction is currently anticipated in FY 2027-28, with a preliminary construction cost estimate of approximately $1,000,000. A separate funding appropriation and construction procurement process will be presented to the City Council at the appropriate time.
LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney's office has reviewed and approved as to form.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommend that the City Council approve a Professional Services Agreement for architectural design services for the Lacy Park Office Renovation project with LOC, Inc. in the amount of $135,330 and authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement on behalf of the City. If the Council concurs with staff’s recommendation, an appropriate motion would be:
“I move to approve a Professional Services Agreement for architectural design services for the Lacy Park Office Renovation project with LOC, Inc. in the amount of $135,330 and authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement on behalf of the City.”

The limits of insurance required herein may be satisfied by a combination of primary and umbrella or excess insurance. Any umbrella or excess insurance shall contain or be endorsed to contain a provision that such coverage shall also apply on a primary and non-contributory basis for the benefit of CITY before the CITY’S own insurance or self- insurance shall be called upon to protect it as a named insured.

Design Professional Services contract -9-

the insurance it deems necessary, and any premium paid by CITY will be promptly reimbursed by CONSULTANT or CITY will withhold amounts sufficient to pay premium from CONSULTANT payments. In the alternative, CITY may cancel this AGREEMENT.

M. Waiver of subrogation. All insurance coverage maintained or procured pursuant to this agreement shall be endorsed to waive subrogation against CITY, its elected or appointed officers, agents, officials, employees, and volunteers or shall specifically allow CONSULTANT’S or others providing insurance evidence in compliance with these specifications to waive their right of recovery prior to a loss. CONSULTANT hereby waives its own right of recovery against CITY and shall require similar written express waivers and insurance clauses from each of its subconsultants.
N. Enforcement of contract provisions (non estoppel). CONSULTANT acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of the CITY to inform CONSULTANT of non-compliance with any requirement imposes no additional obligations on the CITY nor does it waive any rights hereunder.
O. Requirements not limiting. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this Section are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits or other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any insurance. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not intended by any party or insured to be all inclusive, or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a waiver of any type. If the CONSULTANT maintains higher limits than the minimums shown above, the CITY requires and shall be entitled to coverage for the higher limits maintained by the CONSULTANT. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the CITY.
P. Notice of cancellation. CONSULTANT 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 CONSULTANT’S insurers are unwilling to provide such notice, then CONSULTANT shall have the responsibility of notifying the CITY PAGE 157 of 688
Design Professional Services contract -10-
Revised-7.2025
immediately in the event of CONSULTANT’S failure to renew any of the required insurance coverages, or insurer’s cancellation or non-renewal.
Q. 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.
R. Prohibition of undisclosed coverage limitations. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance 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.
S. Separation of insureds. A severability of interests provision must apply for all additional insureds ensuring that CONSULTANT’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.
T. Pass through clause. CONSULTANT agrees to ensure that its subconsultants, subcontractors, and any other party who is brought onto or involved in the project/service by CONSULTANT (hereinafter collectively “Subcontractor”), provide the same minimum insurance coverage and endorsements required of CONSULTANT under this AGREEMENT.
CONSULTANT 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 CONSULTANT’S Subcontractor cannot comply with this requirement, which proof must be submitted to the CITY, CONSULTANT may still be able to utilize the Subcontractor provided CONSULTANT 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 CONSULTANT, but in all other terms consistent with the CONSULTANT’S requirements under this AGREEMENT. This provision does not relieve the CONSULTANT 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 CONSULTANT 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 CONSULTANT under this AGREEMENT given the limited scope of work or services provided by the subcontractor. CONSULTANT agrees that upon request, all agreements with Subcontractors, and others engaged in the project and/or services, will be submitted to CITY for review.

21. CITY’s Right to Revise Requirements.

24. CONFLICT OF INTEREST. CONSULTANT will comply with all conflict of interest laws and regulations including, without limitation, CITY’s conflict of interest regulations.

Scope of Professional Consultant Services
The scope of services described herein is intended to represent the anticipated Base Services for this project.
Consultant shall include all tasks, coordination, meetings, and deliverables customarily required to complete the work as described and to deliver a complete, bid-ready project.
Services that materially exceed or fall outside the Base Scope due to City-directed changes, unforeseen site conditions, or regulatory requirements may be considered Additional Services, subject to prior written authorization by the City.
Consultant will be responsible for providing a full range of professional services necessary for the design of the Lacy Park Office Renovation project. Services shall include, but are not limited to, the following:
1. Project Initiation and Coordination:
Attend a project kick-off meeting with City staff and stakeholders. Establish project schedule, communication protocols and coordination procedures. Routine project management, internal coordination, and communications necessary to complete the Base Scope shall be included.
2. Site Analysis and Programming:
Conduct a comprehensive assessment of existing site and building conditions, including constraints and opportunities.
Collaborate with City staff to develop and finalize a detailed space program reflecting functional and operational needs.
Prepare space planning diagrams and a functional layout for City review and refinement. The scope includes a reasonable number of meetings and revisions customary for a project of this size.
3. Design Development:
Develop conceptual and schematic design alternatives, including floor plans, elevations, and illustrative renderings, to convey the proposed design approach. Present design concepts to City staff and incorporate feedback into refined design solutions. Ensure all designs comply with applicable building codes, zoning regulations, accessibility standards, and other regulatory requirements.
The City intends to provide consolidated comments at each phase to facilitate efficient progress.
4. Construction Documents:
Prepare complete and coordinated construction documents, including architectural drawings and technical specifications, suitable for bidding and permitting. Coordinate with required engineering consultants to ensure fully integrated design documents as part of the Base Scope.
Provide an opinion of probable construction cost based on the construction documents.

The Lacy Park Office Renovation is modest in size but requires comprehensive coordination to deliver a fully accessible, code-compliant, and durable municipal facility within the existing footprint. LOC’s approach aligns directly with the City’s outlined scope of services and emphasizes early validation, disciplined coordination, and budget control.
Project Initiation & Coordination
We begin with a kickoff meeting to confirm goals, schedule, communication protocols, and decision-making procedures. Clear alignment at the outset ensures efficient coordination among City staff and the consultant team throughout the project.
Site Analysis & Programming
LOC will evaluate existing building and site conditions, including accessibility constraints, grading, utilities, structural considerations, and potential hazardous materials. Working collaboratively with City staff, we will refine the space program to support both administrative and maintenance operations. Functional layout options will be developed to improve efficiency while remaining largely within the existing footprint.
Schematic Design
Conceptual design alternatives will be prepared to illustrate layout, systems integration, and compliance strategies. This phase integrates ADA path-of-travel requirements, accessible parking upgrades, fire sprinkler coordination, door and window replacement, utility constraints, and seismic upgrades as required. Early cost modeling will confirm alignment with the City’s established construction budget.
Design Development
The selected concept will be advanced into a coordinated design incorporating architectural, structural, MEP, civil, fire protection, and environmental disciplines. Code compliance and constructability will be validated to prevent downstream changes. Consultant coordination is emphasized at this stage to reduce risk and ensure clarity.
Construction Documents
LOC will prepare complete, coordinated construction documents suitable for bidding and permitting, including technical specifications and an opinion of probable construction cost. Hazardous materials findings and required abatement documentation will be incorporated. Utility documentation and site coordination will be clearly detailed to minimize construction uncertainty.
Permitting & Bid Support
We will manage plan check submittals, respond to agency comments, and assist the City during bidding by addressing contractor questions and preparing addenda as needed.
Construction Administration (Optional)
If authorized, LOC will provide site visits, submittal and RFI review, participation in construction meetings, and support through project closeout, including punch list preparation and record drawings.
Throughout each phase, LOC prioritizes clarity, coordination, and cost discipline. Our experience delivering municipal renovations within defined funding parameters ensures that regulatory requirements, technical complexity, and long-term maintainability are balanced responsibly — resulting in a practical, durable facility that serves City staff for years to come.

Re: Lacy Park Office Renovation
Dear Ms. Shah and Members of the Selection Committee,
LOC Architects is pleased to submit our proposal for the renovation of the Lacy Park Office. Lacy Park is clearly a treasured community asset, it is where both of our children learned how to ride a bicycle, and we understand that this modest building plays an important role in supporting the people who care for it every day.
The Architect’s role on a project such as this is to improve the daily experience of all of the facilities users. This is done by improving accessibility, modernizing systems, and creating a practical, durable workspace that supports staff for years to come. We appreciate that the park team has managed this facility for decades, and we approach this effort with respect for both the building’s history and the people who rely on it.
Our team has experience delivering thoughtful municipal renovations where coordination, cost discipline, and clear communication matter most. Our experience creating workplaces and locker rooms for the Southern California Gas Company gives us deep insight into working with established organizations to create the types of spaces that need to be addressed here/ Our design process will be an ongoing conversation with City staff to develop solutions that meets code requirements, fits within the established budget, and reflects the City’s long-term stewardship of public resources.
Thank you for the opportunity to be considered. We would be honored to support San Marino in this important upgrade to Lacy Park.
Many thanks,
Ali Jeevanjee

Architects Lacy Park Office Renovation March 4, 2026 7
The Lacy Park Office Renovation is an opportunity for the City of San Marino to modernize the office and locker room facility of Lacy Park, one of the most significant civic assets in Los Angeles. The primary goals of this effort include:
• Modernizing the staff work areas to provide ample workspace for Benny Macias, the Urban Forester, and various users at a touchdown station. Also provided will be adequate storage for the documents necessary for the work here. • A functional, bright and welcoming break area / multipurpose space suitable for meetings, trainings, and lunch breaks.
• Refresh and enlarge the locker room area to include a dedicated female locker room an greater privacy for all. Expansion may potentially include the adjacent garage space, with this storage need being relocated to the nearby park storage. • Provide accessible restroom facilities.
• Address site drainage issues where the grade allows water to infiltrate at certain exterior doors.
• Address the lack of an accessible parking stall and path of travel to the building, and address accessibility issues throughout to insure inclusivity across abilities. • Address code compliance issues throughout, including the installation of fire sprinklers.
• Replace the existing doors and windows to provide greater functionality and energy efficiency.
• Replace the entire electrical system, which contains many components which are past their useful lifespan.
• Provided seismic strengthening of the existing URM structure as necessary. • Coordinate low voltage design with City IT consultant.
The extent of the project scope and the limited budget will require a design team that is actively and successfully managing scope, budget and regulatory requirements. Our approach to this is grounded in:
• Early code and accessibility validation to prevent late-stage redesign • Clear delineation of consultant responsibilities and risk allocation • Practical solutions that minimize unnecessary structural or site expansion • Phased cost modeling to ensure alignment with budget at each milestone • Highly detailed and precisely coordinated construction documents that reduce change orders
LOC will mange all of these priorities and constraints via a collaborative and conversational process with city staff.

PROPOSED APPROACH
PAGE 175 of 688
LOC
Architects Lacy Park Office Renovation March 4, 2026 9
The Lacy Park Office Renovation is modest in size but requires comprehensive coordination to deliver a fully accessible, code-compliant, and durable municipal facility within the existing footprint. LOC’s approach aligns directly with the City’s outlined scope of services and emphasizes early validation, disciplined coordination, and budget control.
Project Initiation & Coordination
We begin with a kickoff meeting to confirm goals, schedule, communication protocols, and decision-making procedures. Clear alignment at the outset ensures efficient coordination among City staff and the consultant team throughout the project.
Site Analysis & Programming
LOC will evaluate existing building and site conditions, including accessibility constraints, grading, utilities, structural considerations, and potential hazardous materials. Working collaboratively with City staff, we will refine the space program to support both administrative and maintenance operations. Functional layout options will be developed to improve efficiency while remaining largely within the existing footprint.
Schematic Design
Conceptual design alternatives will be prepared to illustrate layout, systems integration, and compliance strategies. This phase integrates ADA path-of-travel requirements, accessible parking upgrades, fire sprinkler coordination, door and window replacement, utility constraints, and seismic upgrades as required. Early cost modeling will confirm alignment with the City’s established construction budget.
Design Development
The selected concept will be advanced into a coordinated design incorporating architectural, structural, MEP, civil, fire protection, and environmental disciplines. Code compliance and constructability will be validated to prevent downstream changes. Consultant coordination is emphasized at this stage to reduce risk and ensure clarity.
Construction Documents
LOC will prepare complete, coordinated construction documents suitable for bidding and permitting, including technical specifications and an opinion of probable construction cost. Hazardous materials findings and required abatement documentation will be incorporated. Utility documentation and site coordination will be clearly detailed to minimize construction uncertainty.
Permitting & Bid Support
We will manage plan check submittals, respond to agency comments, and assist the City during bidding by addressing contractor questions and preparing addenda as needed.
Construction Administration (Optional)
If authorized, LOC will provide site visits, submittal and RFI review, participation in construction meetings, and support through project closeout, including punch list preparation and record drawings.
Throughout each phase, LOC prioritizes clarity, coordination, and cost discipline. Our experience delivering municipal renovations within defined funding parameters ensures that regulatory requirements, technical complexity, and long-term maintainability are balanced responsibly — resulting in a practical, durable facility that serves City staff for years to come.

Architects Lacy Park Office Renovation March 4, 2026 25 This renovation of the backstage facilities at the Hollywood Bowl transforms a series of utilitarian spaces—dressing rooms, bathrooms, corridors, and the stage tunnel—into a cohesive architectural sequence for performers. The project focuses on unifying these distinct areas through material continuity, lighting, and acoustic clarity, creating an environment that supports both calm and focus before performance. Warm oak slat walls and marine plywood panels establish a consistent language across the program, complemented by soft flooring and integrated linear lighting that guide movement through the space.
The dressing rooms and bathrooms are designed as intimate, restorative environments with refined finishes, tonal tile, and custom millwork. The main corridor and tunnel form a processional path to the stage, where shifts in light and material emphasize transition and anticipation. LOC Architects led the design of new finishes, lighting, and FF&E, reimagining the backstage experience as a crafted, interconnected environment that reflects the artistry and precision of the performances it serves.

Relevant Experience
Port of Los Angeles, Warehouse No. 1, Seismic Evaluation, Feasibility Study and Office Renovation | San Pedro, CA
Warehouse No. 1 is a six-story plus basement, 500,000-SF reinforced concrete structure.
The primary goal of the renovation is to create a new, usable space with occupancy and functionality other than the current heavy storage use. A scheme was developed that would remove large floor areas to increase floor to floor heights and provide internal atrium while preserving prominent historic features. This will allow natural light into the building, converting a compact storage structure into a comfortable office or museum environment. Special consideration was made to the foundations that consisted of driven piles, presented a solution to pressure grout the loosely compacted man-made fill under the structure. A conceptual cost estimate and proposed structural modifications and foundation improvements were provided to the client.
LAWA Police Headquarters Office Study and Retrofit | Los Angeles, CA Miyamoto provided Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) with a series of options to retrofit the existing Delta Airlines office and hangar structure. This included adding 83,300 SF of office space in the existing hangar, currently unusable as a hangar facility.
Miyamoto brought value to the client by using performance-based engineering to upgrade this essential facility building to performance level. Some of the latest technologies, such as buckling restrained brace frames or fluid viscous dampers (shock absorbers), were options provided. These options allowed for minimally invasive retrofit work in the office space and excellent performance in an earthquake, at a cost of $144 per square foot for an essential facility.

Description of General Fund Costs
The existing Parks & Public Works office facility at Lacy Park, originally constructed in the 1930s, requires significant upgrades to address aging infrastructure and operational deficiencies. The building's deferred maintenance issues include deteriorating interior walls, outdated flooring, aging plumbing, HVAC, and electrical systems, moisture-related concerns, and non-compliance with current ADA standards. In addition, as an unreinforced masonry structure, the building will likely require seismic upgrades in accordance with the City’s Municipal Code.
The facility also lacks sufficient office space and restroom accommodations to adequately support current staffing levels, requiring improved interior configuration to better utilize the existing footprint. The building was identified as a contributor to the historic character of Lacy Park in the City’s 2020 Historic Resources Survey. Accordingly, the project will preserve the exterior appearance and historic integrity of the structure, with no changes proposed to the building’s exterior. Improvements will focus on modernizing and reconfiguring the interior to meet current operational needs.
Staff recommend $250,000 in FY 2026–27 for architectural design services based on recent proposals. Construction is anticipated in FY 2027–28, with a preliminary cost estimate of approximately $1,000,000. This project will modernize a key City facility while preserving its historic character, ensuring it can effectively support Parks & Public Works operations and the ongoing maintenance of one of the City’s most valued community assets, Lacy Park.

BACKGROUND
The State Water Resources Control Board (State Water Board), in coordination with nine Regional Water Quality Control Boards, implements the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (Clean Water Act) to preserve, protect, enhance, and restore water quality throughout California. Pursuant to the Clean Water Act, the State's Municipal Stormwater Program regulates discharges from municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4s) through the issuance of MS4 permits. For the Los Angeles region, the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board (Regional Board) adopted the 2012 National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) MS4 Permit, Order No. R4-2012-0175. The 2012 MS4 Permit was subsequently superseded by the 2021 Regional Phase I MS4 Permit, Order No. R4-2021-0105, which became effective September 11, 2021. The 2021 MS4 Permit establishes requirements for the County of Los Angeles, Los Angeles County Flood Control District, and participating cities within Los Angeles County, including the City of San Marino, to control discharges of stormwater and non-stormwater from their respective MS4s and reduce pollutants entering the region's receiving waters.

Calvin Lo, Vice Mayor
Hunter Chang, Council Member

Gretchen Shepherd Romey, Council Member
PAGE 206 of 688
Among other requirements, the 2021 MS4 Permit requires Permittees to implement programs and measures to reduce pollutants discharged through their storm drain systems, including trash, debris, and sediment. These requirements are implemented on both an individual and watershed-wide basis and are intended to improve water quality in receiving waters, including rivers, creeks, and coastal waters. The City’s storm drain system ultimately discharges to the Upper Los Angeles River Watershed, and the City participates with other local agencies in regional watershed management and monitoring efforts to comply with the MS4 Permit.
In 2015, the State Water Board adopted Resolution No. 2015-0019, amending the Water Quality Control Plan for Ocean Waters of California (California Ocean Plan) to establish statewide requirements for controlling trash impacts to California's surface waters. The State Water Board determined that trash is a pervasive pollutant that adversely affects beneficial uses of surface waters, including wildlife and marine habitat and recreational uses. Because much of the trash entering surface waters originates on land and is transported through storm drain systems, the Resolution established a statewide narrative water quality objective and implementation requirements for trash control.
Consistent with these requirements, the 2021 MS4 Permit requires Permittees to implement trash control measures capable of capturing trash and litter down to five millimeters (5 mm) in size, subject to the requirements and implementation provisions of the Permit. These measures are intended to prevent trash and debris from entering receiving waters.
In 2018, Los Angeles County voters approved Measure W, which established the Safe Clean Water Program (SCWP) and authorized a special parcel tax of $0.025 per square foot of impermeable area on private property within the Los Angeles County Flood Control District. The SCWP provides dedicated funding for projects that increase regional water supply, improve water quality, and enhance communities throughout Los Angeles County. Forty percent of SCWP revenues are allocated to cities as local return funding. San Marino has received approximately $235,000 annually in local return funding over the past five years to address local stormwater and urban runoff needs.
On May 29, 2026, the City Council adopted the Fiscal Year 2026-27 Operating and Capital Improvement Program (CIP) budgets, including an appropriation of $225,000 in Account No. 246-46-4600-8026 for the City's Trash Capture Filter Program. Of this amount, $200,000 is proposed for the procurement and installation of trash and debris capture devices, with the remaining $25,000 reserved for County permitting and inspection costs.
PAGE 207 of 688
DISCUSSION
The proposed project continues the City's ongoing program to retrofit catch basins with trash capture devices and reduce the amount of trash and debris discharged through the City's storm drain system. The City's catch basin retrofit program began in 2020, when ARS-CL™ curb-opening screens were installed in 72 City-owned catch basins by G2 Construction, Inc. The program continued during FY 2023-24, FY 2024-25, and FY 2025-26, resulting in the installation of an additional 133 devices in City-owned catch basins.
During the FY 2025-26 project, the City completed the retrofit of City-owned catch basins that were determined to be eligible for installation. The project also included field inspections and measurements of 134 County-owned catch basins located within the City. Although these catch basins are owned by the County, the City is responsible for retrofitting the facilities because they capture stormwater runoff generated within the City's jurisdiction.
Based on the field measurements and subsequent evaluation, 81 Countyowned catch basins have been identified as eligible for installation of fullcapture systems. G2 Construction, Inc. has submitted a proposal to fabricate and install the 81 systems for a total cost of $200,000. Upon completion of this project, all County-owned catch basins identified as eligible for a fullcapture system will have been retrofitted. Future phases will address Countyowned catch basins that were determined to be eligible for ARS-CL™ curbopening screens.
Trash Capture Devices
The City’s program has utilized two complementary proprietary trash capture devices manufactured and installed by G2 Construction, Inc.: the ARS-CL™ curb-opening screen and the CPS-Mod™ Full Capture Screen. The devices are custom fabricated to the specific dimensions and configuration of each catch basin or inlet. The systems are constructed of 304 stainless steel and are designed to integrate with the City's existing catch basin infrastructure.
The ARS-CL™ curb-opening screens are designed to intercept larger trash and debris before it enters the catch basin. By capturing a significant portion of debris during dry weather and smaller storm events, the screens help prevent larger materials from reaching and obstructing the downstream 5 mm fullcapture system. The City's street sweeping program collects much of the material intercepted by these screens.
The CPS-Mod™ Full Capture System serves as the final trash capture component within the catch basin. The system is designed to prevent particles PAGE 208 of 688
5 mm and larger from exiting the catch basin and continuing downstream. The CPS-Mod™ is certified by the State Water Board as a Full-Capture System.
Together, the systems provide a multi-stage approach to trash control that is compatible with the City's existing catch basin infrastructure and maintenance practices.
Procurement
Staff evaluated G2 Construction Inc.’s proposal and determined that the CPSMOD™ & ARS-CL™ systems are uniquely suited to the City’s existing infrastructure and established maintenance program. The devices are proprietary, custom-fabricated products designed to match the dimensions of individual catch basins. Continued use of these systems provides consistency with the City’s previously installed devices and reduces the need for difference equipment, maintenance procedures, and replacement components.
San Marino Municipal Code Section 2.06.05.B.6 permits the City to make purchases from bids received by the County, State, or other public agency.
This cooperative purchasing process allows the City to utilize the results of a formal solicitation conducted by another public agency when procuring specialized equipment and services.
G2 Construction Inc. has been awarded a master agreement with the County of Orange (Contract No. MA-080-25011708) for the furnishing and installation of trash and debris capture devices on County-owned property. Section 16 of the Additional Terms and Conditions of the County Agreement establishes a cooperative contract that permits other public agencies to execute subordinate contracts for the same services during the term of the agreement, currently through August 8, 2030. The cooperative contract provides for the extension of the applicable terms, conditions, and pricing to participating public agencies. The proposed City agreement with G2 Construction Inc. will utilize the terms, conditions, and pricing available under the County of Orange master agreement.
The proposed project will continue the City's phased approach to complying with applicable MS4 Permit trash-control requirements while spreading implementation costs over multiple fiscal years. Completing the eligible County-owned catch basin retrofits will further reduce the amount of trash and debris entering the storm drain system and ultimately the Upper Los Angeles River Watershed.

FISCAL IMPACT & PROCUREMENT REVIEW
The City's adopted FY 2026-27 budget includes an appropriation of $225,000 in Account No. 246-46-4600-8026 for the Trash Capture Filter Program.
G2 Construction, Inc.'s proposal for the fabrication and installation of 81 fullcapture systems is $200,000. The project will be funded entirely with Measure W Safe Clean Water Program local return funds and will have no impact on the City's General Fund. The remaining $25,000 of the budgeted appropriation is reserved for County permitting and inspection costs.
The proposed procurement is consistent with the City's procurement requirements. Pursuant to San Marino Municipal Code Section 2.06.05.B.6, the City may utilize the results of a formal solicitation conducted by another public agency through a cooperative purchasing arrangement. The proposed agreement with G2 Construction, Inc., will utilize the County of Orange's existing master agreement and associated pricing.
The Finance Director has reviewed this staff report for compliance with San Marino City Code §02.06.05.
LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney's office has reviewed and approved as to form.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommend that the City Council approve the procurement and installation of trash and debris capture devices from G2 Construction, Inc. in the amount of $200,000. If the City Council concurs with staff’s recommendation, an appropriate motion would be:
“I move to approve the Maintenance Services Agreement for the procurement and installation of trash and debris capture devices in County-owned catch basins from G2 Construction, Inc. in the amount of $200,000.”

LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION FOR G2 CONSTRUCTION, INC.
G2 Construction (G2) has designed, fabricated, and installed thousands of their trash capture devices in the City of Los Angeles since the bureau of Sanitation and Environment (LASAN) approved their CPS inserts and ARS curb opening screens in 2013. G2’s devices are very effective at capturing trash, their installations are of high quality, and the company is professional and reliable.
In 2023, LASAN awarded G2 Construction a 10-year $8,000,000 contract to fabricate and install Full Capture Catch Basin Inserts and Curb Opening Screen Covers (G2’s CPS-Mod and ARSCL devices). G2 is one of only two approved vendors that LASAN has found acceptable to provide both the catch basin connector pipe screens (CPS) and automatic retractable screens (ARS) in City of Los Angeles public right-of-way catch basins.
G2’s installation crews are highly skilled and communicate well with inspectors, their work is performed on time and within budget, and their project management has been efficient. Their personnel are very good at providing all required documentation and making the process easy.
The approval of G2 devices by LASAN lead to the installation of their CPS-Mod and ARS-CL devices on important City projects such as:
LA World Airports Roadways (LAWA RUE). 2024
LA Metro Westside Purple Line. 2024
LA Metro Regional Connector Corridor. 2023

SUBJECT: G2 Construction, Inc. – Letter of Recommendation To Whom It May Concern:
The City of Lakewood contracted with G2 Construction on three (3) projects to install State Water Board certified CPS-Mod connector pipe screens and GITS grated inlet trash screens.
G2 successfully installed their products in 2016, 2018, and 2023 as part of the City’s FullCapture Catch Basin Insert Program to the satisfaction of the City. G2’s personnel have been very capable, and both projects installed as scheduled.
Our experience with G2 has been very positive, and I can recommend their products and services. Their team has been very professional and responsive to our needs, and they were quick to provide field evaluations of our catch basins and recommendations for our project.
Some of the City’s catch basins were unique and G2 was able to manufacture customized CPSMod devices that allowed us to meet regulations and the City’s water quality objectives.

TRASH AND DEBRIS CAPTURE DEVICES – RFP# 080-2736403-WH
To Whom It May Concern:
The City of Laguna Hills has contracted with G2 Construction (G2) since 2007 to design, fabricate, and install their ARS-CL and CPS-Mod trash and debris screens throughout the City. Between 2012 - 2024, G2 installed 11 annual City projects that won OCTA Environmental Cleanup Program’s Project X grant funds. They have installed over 2,000 ARS screens and 370 CPS devices in our catch basins.
The City continues to select G2 Construction because their devices successfully prevent trash, debris, and vegetation from entering our storm drain system and watershed. The City plans to work with G2 again this year to install our Phase XII OCTA grant.
For each project G2 has provided a simple end-to-end solution that includes field evaluations and measurements of catch basins, custom design and fabrication of their devices, installation, photos, support documentation, and warranty. G2’s work has always been on schedule, on budget, and performed without any problems.
G2 has also assisted the City with an inventory of catch basin devices, and provided information critical to our Project X applications.
I am pleased to offer this letter of recommendation for G2 Construction. The City finds their trash and debris devices to be very effective and of good value, and their installation work to be of high quality. The company has been very professional and dependable in their interactions with the City. We look forward to working with G2 Construction on future projects.

Subject: Trash Capture Device Installations by G2 Construction To Whom It May Concern:
I wholeheartedly recommend G2 Construction, Inc. (G2) following the excellent service they provided in the City of San Clemente’s most recent 2024 contract with them for the installation of trash capture devices on 78 storm water inlets.
The G2 team demonstrated expertise in the products they sell and install, as well as a commitment to delivering projects under budget and on a schedule that minimized both traffic impacts to the public and City staff time. In addition to quality, customized products, G2 provided substantial technical assistance that they have incorporated into their contract pricing. As a project manager new to the world of trash capture devices, I especially appreciated the guidance of G2 in ensuring that the work they so efficiently completed would meet the requirements for the OCTA grant funding that we obtained for the project, and also drive us closer to regulatory compliance with the Statewide Trash Amendments.
To date, G2 has installed trash capture devices on 244 inlets within the City’s jurisdiction. Although I did not oversee the previous phases of trash capture devices, I can attest that the City has had no major maintenance or quality issues with the devices constructed and installed by G2 since they first began working under contract for the City in 2022.
If you have any additional questions about G2’s work for the City, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me.
Sincerely,

9. TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT.
a. Except as otherwise provided, CITY may terminate this AGREEMENT at any time with or without cause upon providing written notice to CONTRACTOR at least thirty (30) days before the effective termination date. Notice of termination will be in writing. In the event of a termination for convenience, the CITY , based upon work accomplished by CONTRACTOR prior to notice of such termination, shall determine the amount of fees to be paid to CONTRACTOR for such services based upon accepted practices of the CONTRACTOR’S field of work, and such finding by the CITY, and shall be final and conclusive as to the amount of such fee. b. Should the AGREEMENT be terminated pursuant to this Section, CONTRACTOR shall immediately cease work except for work necessary to secure the job site and any materials not yet incorporated into the work.

Maintenance Contract $30k or More -4-
Revised-7.2025
with all necessary documentation related to the fixed items, including warranties, maintenance records, and any other relevant information. CONTRACTOR shall also coordinate with CITY to facilitate the smooth handover of these items.
d. By executing this document, CONTRACTOR waives any and all claims for damages that might otherwise arise from CITY’s termination under this Section.
10. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. CONTRACTOR is and will at all times remain as to CITY a wholly independent contractor. Neither the CITY nor any of its officers, employees, or agents will have control over the conduct of CONTRACTOR or any of CONTRACTOR’s officers, employees, agents or subcontractors, except as expressly set forth in the AGREEMENT.
CONTRACTOR may not at any time or in any manner represent that it or any of its officers, employees, agents, or subcontractors are in any manner officers, employees, agents or subcontractors of CITY.
11. NONASSIGNMENT. This AGREEMENT is not assignable either in whole or in part by CONTRACTOR without the written consent of CITY. Any purported assignment without such consent shall be void and without effect.
12. INDEMNIFICATION. CONTRACTOR shall indemnify, defend with legal counsel approved by CITY—or, at the CITY’s option, reimburse the CITY Indemnitees their costs of defense—and hold harmless CITY, its officers, officials, employees and volunteers from and against all liability, loss, damage, expense, cost (including without limitation reasonable attorney’s fees, expert fees and all other costs and fees of litigation) of every nature arising out of or in connection with CONTRACTOR’s negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct in the performance of work hereunder or its failure to comply with any of its obligations contained in this agreement. CONTRACTOR’s obligations under this section apply regardless of whether or not such claim, charge, damage, demand, action, proceeding, loss, stop notice, cost, expense, judgment, civil fine or penalty, or liability was caused in part or contributed to by an Indemnitee. However, without affecting the rights of CITY under any provision of this agreement, CONTRACTOR shall not be required to indemnify and hold harmless CITY for liability attributable to the sole active negligence of CITY, provided such active negligence is determined by agreement between the parties or by the findings of a court of competent jurisdiction. In instances where CITY is shown to have been actively negligent and where CITY’s active negligence accounts for only a percentage of the liability involved, the obligation of CONTRACTOR will be for that entire portion or percentage of liability not attributable to the active negligence of CITY.
Should conflict of interest principles preclude a single attorney from representing both CITY and CONTRACTOR, or should CITY otherwise find CONTRACTOR’s attorney unacceptable, then CONTRACTOR shall reimburse the CITY its costs of PAGE 244 of 688
Maintenance Contract $30k or More -5-
Revised-7.2025
defense, including without limitation reasonable attorney’s fees, expert fees and all other costs and fees of litigation. The CONTRACTOR shall promptly pay any final judgment rendered against the CITY (and its officers, officials, employees, and volunteers) with respect to claims determined by a trier of fact to have been the result of the CONTRACTOR’s negligent, reckless, or wrongful performance.
Payment by CITY is not a condition precedent to enforcement of this indemnity. In the event of any dispute between CONTRACTOR and CITY, as to whether liability arises from the sole active negligence or willful misconduct of the CITY or its officers, employees, or agents, CONTRACTOR will be obligated to pay for CITY’s defense until such time as a final judgment has been entered adjudicating the CITY as solely negligent or to have acted with willful misconduct. CONTRACTOR will not be entitled in the absence of such a determination to any reimbursement of defense costs including but not limited to attorney’s fees, expert fees, and costs of litigation.
It is expressly understood and agreed that the foregoing provisions are intended to be as broad and inclusive as is permitted by the law of the State of California and will survive termination of this agreement.
13. NON-DISCRIMINATION. CONTRACTOR shall not discriminate in its recruiting, hiring, promotion, demotion or termination practices on the basis of race, religious creed, color, national origin, ancestry, physical disability, mental disability, medical condition, martial status, sex, age, or sexual orientation in the performance of this AGREEMENT and shall comply with the provisions of the California Fair Employment and Housing Act as set forth in Part 2.8 of Division 3, Title 2 of the California Government Code; the Federal Civil Rights Act of 1964, as set forth in Public Law 88-352, and all amendments thereto; Executive Order 11246; and all administrative rules and regulations issued pursuant to such acts and order.
14. PREVAILING WAGES. CONTRACTOR is aware of and agrees to abide by the provisions of California Labor Code Sections 1720, et seq., as well as 1771, 1773, 1773.1, 1773.6, 1773.7, 1775 and 1776, pertaining to the obligation to pay prevailing wages with respect to the performance of work as described in Paragraph 2 herein. Copies of the prevailing rate of per diem wages and the general prevailing rate for holiday and overtime work for each craft are available upon request from the CITY. A copy of the prevailing rate of per diem wages shall be posted at the job site. CONTRACTOR and its subcontractors must keep accurate certified payroll records showing the name, occupation, and the actual per diem wages paid to each worker employed in connection with this AGREEMENT. If requested by CITY, CONTRACTOR must provide copies of the records at its cost.
15. UNAUTHORIZED ALIENS. CONTRACTOR hereby promises and agrees to comply with all of the provisions of the Federal Immigration and PAGE 245 of 688
Maintenance Contract $30k or More -6-
Revised-7.2025
Nationality Act (8 USCA 1101, et seq.), as amended; and, in connection therewith, shall not employ unauthorized aliens as defined therein. Should CONTRACTOR so employ such unauthorized aliens for the performance of work and/or services covered by this AGREEMENT, and should the Federal Government impose sanctions against the CITY for such use of unauthorized aliens, CONTRACTOR hereby agrees to, and shall, reimburse CITY for the cost of all such sanctions imposed, together with any and all costs, including attorney’s fees, incurred by the CITY in connection therewith.
16. WAIVER. Waiver by any party hereto of any term, condition, or covenant of this AGREEMENT shall not constitute the waiver of any other term, condition or covenant hereof.
17. ATTORNEY’S FEES. If litigation is reasonably required to enforce or interpret the provisions of this AGREEMENT, the prevailing party in such litigation shall be entitled to an award of reasonable attorney’s fees, in addition to any other relief to which it may be entitled.
18. BINDING EFFECT. This AGREEMENT shall be binding upon the heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns of the parties hereto.
19. PROVISIONS, CUMULATIVE. The provisions of this AGREEMENT are cumulative and in addition to and not in limitation of any rights or remedies available to CITY.
20. NO PRESUMPTION RE: DRAFTER. The parties acknowledge and agree that the terms and provisions of this AGREEMENT have been negotiated and discussed between the parties and their attorneys, and this AGREEMENT reflects their mutual AGREEMENT regarding the same. Because of the nature of such negotiations and discussions it would be inappropriate to deem any party to be the drafter of this AGREEMENT; and, therefore, no presumption for or against validity or as to any interpretation hereof, based upon the identity of the drafter, shall be applicable in interpreting or enforcing this AGREEMENT.
21. ASSISTANCE OF COUNSEL. Each party to this AGREEMENT warrants to each other party as follows:
a. That each party either had the assistance of counsel or had counsel available to it, in the negotiation for, and execution of, this AGREEMENT, and all related documents; and,
b. That each party has lawfully authorized the execution of this AGREEMENT.
22. MODIFICATION. This AGREEMENT shall not be modified except by written agreement of the parties.

PAGE 248 of 688
Maintenance Contract $30k or More -9-
Revised-7.2025
h. Primary/noncontributing. Coverage provided by CONTRACTOR shall be primary and any insurance or self-insurance procured or maintained by CITY shall not be required to contribute with it. The limits of insurance required herein may be satisfied by a combination of primary and umbrella or excess insurance. Any umbrella or excess insurance shall contain or be endorsed to contain a provision that such coverage shall also apply on a primary and non-contributory basis for the benefit of CITY before the CITY’S own insurance or selfinsurance shall be called upon to protect it as a named insured. i. CITY’S rights of enforcement. In the event any policy of insurance required under this AGREEMENT does not comply with these specifications or is canceled and not replaced, CITY has the right but not the duty to obtain the insurance it deems necessary, and any premium paid by CITY will be promptly reimbursed by
CONTRACTOR or CITY will withhold amounts sufficient to pay premium from CONTRACTOR payments. In the alternative, CITY may cancel this AGREEMENT.
j. Acceptable insurers. All insurance policies shall be issued by an insurance company currently authorized by the Insurance Commissioner to transact business of insurance or is on the List of Approved Surplus Line Insurers in the State of California, with an assigned policyholders’ Rating of A- (or higher) and Financial Size Category Class VII (or larger) in accordance with the latest edition of Best’s Key Rating Guide, unless otherwise approved by the CITY. k. Waiver of subrogation. All insurance coverage maintained or procured pursuant to this agreement shall be endorsed to waive subrogation against CITY, its elected or appointed officers, agents, officials, employees, and volunteers or shall specifically allow CONTRACTOR’S or others providing insurance evidence in
compliance with these specifications to waive their right of recovery prior to a loss. CONTRACTOR hereby waives its own right of recovery against CITY and shall require similar written express waivers and insurance clauses from each of its subconsultants. l. Enforcement of contract provisions (non estoppel).
CONTRACTOR acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of the CITY to inform CONTRACTOR of noncompliance with any requirement imposes no additional obligations on the CITY nor does it waive any rights hereunder.
m. Requirements not limiting. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this Section are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits or other requirements, or a waiver of PAGE 249 of 688
Maintenance Contract $30k or More -10-
Revised-7.2025
any coverage normally provided by any insurance. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not intended by any party or insured to be all inclusive, or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a waiver of any type. If the CONTRACTOR maintains higher limits than the minimums shown above, the CITY requires and shall be entitled to coverage for the higher limits maintained by the CONTRACTOR. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the CITY.
n. 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 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.
o. 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.
p. Prohibition of undisclosed coverage limitations. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance 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. q. 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.
r. 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 under this AGREEMENT. CONTRACTOR agrees to monitor and
review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring PAGE 250 of 688
Maintenance Contract $30k or More -11-
Revised-7.2025
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 may still be able to utilize the Subcontractor provided 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 and/or services, will be submitted to CITY for review. s. 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.
t. 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. u. 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.
v. Additional insurance. CONTRACTOR shall also procure and maintain, at its own cost and expense, any additional kinds of PAGE 251 of 688
Maintenance Contract $30k or More -12-
Revised-7.2025
insurance, which in its own judgment may be necessary for its proper protection and prosecution of the work.
27. ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION OF AGREEMENT AND
SIGNATURE. The Parties agree that this AGREEMENT may be signed and transmitted by electronic mail by either/any or both/all Parties, and that such electronically transmitted signatures or hard copy reproduction shall have the same force and effect as original signatures, in accordance with California Government Code section 16.5 and Civil Code section 1633.7.

PROPOSAL for CITY of SAN MARINO
Catch Basin Trash Device Project 2026
DESCRIPTION
G2 Construction (G2) proposes to fabricate and install 81 G2 CPS-Mod™ certified Full Capture Systems in San Marino Catch Basins (CBs) owned by LA County. Prior to the installation, the City must apply for an LA County Flood Control Permit through their EPIC-LA online system. This proposal includes G2 working as the City's "Agent" to assist with project managing the process to get the permit.
Installation work to be performed at Prevailing Wage rates and certified payroll submitted to DIR.
G2 will perform all work except for catch basin cleaning. Sub-Contractor Ron's Maintenance (RMI) will clean the CBs prior to CPS-Mod installation, and this is included in this proposal.
G2 has field reviewed 81 LACFCD-owned CBs, researched the County's database, and generated the "Exhibit A" spreadsheet required to apply for a Flood Control Permit application. G2 will provide expertise and assist with the City's application, and this will allow for installations in 2026-27.
The project's pricing will match and piggyback on G2's existing Master Purchase Agreement with Orange County Public Works MA-080-25011708. G2 will provide the following services for this project:
