with bids due on August 11, 2023 (Exhibit 2). Eight bidders participated in a site walk, two organizations submitted responses, Outdoor Dimensions, LLC and Encore Image, Inc., and only Outdoor Dimensions, LLC’s proposal was deemed responsive (Exhibit 3).
Under the RFP, bidders were required to provide marquee design options.
The selected bidder is Outdoor Dimensions, LLC, located in Anaheim. Under the agreement, the scope of services includes the following: source the digital marquee displays and structures; construction/installation of structure, including all necessary excavation, electrical connection, concrete work, and landscaping; additional geotechnical services, if needed; traffic control, wherever applicable; installation of screen.
Project Details
Currently, the City owns a single marquee at Santa Ana Stadium, which was recently upgraded as part of this project. Staff has identified six locations for additional digital marquees, with one alternate location (Exhibit 4). These marquee locations were selected by a cross-departmental team, including the City Manager’s Office, Parks, Recreation, and Community Services Agency, and Public Works Agency, following significant research, site walks, and engineering consultation. All but one marquee location is in a City park. The locations were chosen based on their distribution throughout the city (factoring in the existing marquee at Santa Ana Stadium), placement near entrances of popular or well-used City parks or publicly visible sites, an analysis of average daily traffic volume on nearby streets (Exhibit 5), and their feasibility for construction and connection to the necessary electrical power supply.
The six locations and one alternate site are as follows:
• Centennial Park: 3000 W. Edinger Ave.
• Thornton Park: 1801 W. Segerstrom Ave.
• Jerome Park: 2115 W. McFadden Ave.
• Delhi Park: 2314 S. Halladay St.
• Rosita Park: 706 N. Newhope St.
• Bowers Museum south parking lot: 1910 N. Main St.
o Santiago Park (alternate location to Bowers and Rosita): 2535 N. Main St.
The Bowers Museum location is the preferred site in that area of town for its visibility and placement near an important city asset (Bowers). The City would allow Bowers to share information about its events and programs on the marquee. This location is pending an agreement with Bowers to place the marquee on their parking lot. An alternate location is nearby at Santiago Park. Due to budgetary constraints and to ensure the marquees are widely distributed around the community, should the marquee at Bowers not move forward, the City will prioritize the installation of a more costly double-sided marquee at Santiago Park and will forgo the marquee at Rosita Park.
Content selection and placement on the digital marquees will be overseen by the City City Council 14 – 2 5/21/2024

Project Delivery
To deliver a complete project, in addition to the contract, the estimated total project delivery cost includes construction administration, inspection, and testing, along with an allowance for contingencies to account for unexpected or unforeseen conditions.
Construction administration and inspection includes construction management, implementation of the City’s Community Workforce Agreement requirements, inspection of the Contractor’s work to ensure contract compliance, workmanship, and quality, and materials testing. As indicated in the Cost Analysis table below, the estimated total construction delivery cost of the project is $1,859,908.58.
Project Item Total
Contractor Agreement $1,668,098.71
Construction Testing $25,000
Project Contingencies $166,809.87
TOTAL CONSTRUCTION DELIVERY COST $1,859,908.58
The estimated timeline for completion of all six digital marquees is 12 months, including approximately one month of site survey and other preparation before beginning construction. A single marquee will be completed approximately every two months during a phased construction schedule.
FISCAL IMPACT
The total estimated construction delivery cost is $1,859,098.58, which includes construction testing, and an authorized contingency. The proposed contract enables Staff to authorize a construction cost increase of up to 25% if necessary for contingencies. Staff expect to utilize other available Public Works appropriations if a contingency becomes necessary to complete the project. If there are no other available appropriations, then Staff will return to City Council with a project update and recommendations. Funds are available for expenditure in Fiscal Year 2023-2024. Any remaining balances not expended at the end of the fiscal year will be presented to City Council for approval of carryovers to FY 2024-2025.

On April 4, 2022, the federal government discontinued use of the DUNS Number to uniquely identify entities. Now, entities doing business with the federal government use the Unique Entity ID created in SAM.gov. They no longer have to go to a third-party website to obtain their identifier. This transition allows the government to streamline the entity identification and validation process, making it easier and less burdensome for entities to do business with the federal government.
This RFP includes federal funding, and as such, the proposer must provide verification of their SAM.gov UEI and registration status. Please attach your entity’s registration from SAM.gov, including UEI and active registration status.

such work or the warranty requires the work to be performed by the employees of the manufacturer or a contractor certified by the manufacturer. If a warranty on the manufacturer’s specialty or technical equipment or systems purchased by the Owner requires that the installation of such specialty or technical equipment or system be performed by the manufacturer’s own personnel, then such installation may be performed by the manufacturer’s own personnel. If a warranty on the manufacturer’s specialty or technical equipment or systems purchased by the Owner requires that the installation of such specialty or technical equipment or system be performed by a contractor certified by the manufacturer, and there are no Union signatory contractors certified by the manufacturer to install and/or perform such work, then such installation may be performed by such certified contractor. The General Contractor shall notify the Unions at the pre-job conference of the use of this provision and shall provide copies of the written warranty that require that the work be performed by the manufacturer’s own personnel, or a contractor certified by the manufacturer, to the affected Union. When the warranty does not require installation by the manufacturer’s own personnel or a contractor certified by the manufacturer, the Unions agree to perform and install such work under the supervision and direction of the manufacturer’s representative. This shall not apply to construction equipment.
2.5.8 Non-construction support services contracted by the City, City consultants, the CWA Administrator, or Contractor in connection with a Project;

The City agrees that it will make a reasonable effort to establish the enforcement of this Agreement with any governmental agency or granting authority.
2.5.11 Work on the Project performed as a result of a threat to life, limb or property or other emergency circumstances requiring immediate action.
Section 2.6 Awarding of Contracts for Project Work
2.6.1 The City and/or the Contractors, as appropriate, have the absolute right to award contracts or subcontracts on Project Work to any Contractor notwithstanding the existence or nonexistence of any agreements between such Contractor and any Union parties, provided only that such Contractor is ready, willing, and able to execute and comply with this Agreement should such Contractor be awarded work covered by this Agreement.
2.6.2 It is agreed that all Contractors of whatever tier, who have been awarded Project Work contracts, shall be required to accept and be bound to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and shall evidence their acceptance by the execution of the Letter of Assent set forth in “Attachment A” hereto, prior to the commencement of any Project Work. At the time that any Contractor enters into a subcontract with any subcontractor of any tier providing for the performance of the construction contract, the Contractor shall provide a copy of this Agreement to City Council
14 – 115 5/21/2024
Community Workforce Agreement 8 City of Santa Ana
said subcontractor and shall require the subcontractor, as a part of accepting the award of a construction subcontract, to agree in writing in the form of a Letter of Assent to be bound by each and every provision of this Agreement prior to the commencement of work on the Project. No Contractor or subcontractor shall commence Project Work without having first provided a copy of the Letter of Assent as executed by it to the CWA Administrator and to the Trades Council before the commencement of Project Work.
Section 2.7 Master Labor Agreements
2.7.1 The provisions of this Agreement, including the Master Labor Agreements as such may be changed from time-to-time and which also are incorporated herein by reference, shall apply to Project Work. This Agreement is not intended to supersede such Master Labor Agreements between any of the Contractors performing construction work on the Project and a Union signatory thereto except to the extent the provisions of this Agreement are inconsistent with such Master Labor Agreements, in which event the provisions of this Agreement shall apply. However, such does not apply to work performed under the National Cooling Tower Agreement, the National Stack Agreement, the National Transit Division Agreement (NTD), work within the jurisdiction of the International Union of Elevator Constructors, and all instrument calibration and loop checking work performed under the terms of the UA/IBEW Joint National Agreement for Instrument and Control Systems Technicians except that Article 9 dealing with Strikes, Work Stoppages and Lock-Outs, Work Assignments and Jurisdictional Disputes, and Settlement of Grievances and Disputes shall apply to such work. Where a subject is covered by the provisions of a Master Labor Agreement and not in conflict with the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of the Master Labor Agreement shall apply. It is specifically agreed that no later agreement shall be deemed to have precedence over this Agreement unless signed by all parties signatory hereto who are then currently employed or represented at the Project. Any dispute as to the applicable source between this Agreement and any Master Labor Agreements for determining the wages, hours of working conditions of employees on this Project shall be resolved under the procedures established in Article 10.
2.7.2 It is understood that this Agreement, together with the referenced Master Labor Agreements, constitutes a self-contained, stand-alone agreement and by virtue of having become bound to this Agreement, the Contractor will not be obligated to sign any other local, area or national collective bargaining agreement as a condition of performing work within the scope of this Agreement (provided, however, that the Contractor may be required to sign a uniformly applied, non-discriminatory Subscription Agreement at the request of the trustees or administrator of a trust fund established pursuant to Section 302 of the Labor Management Relations Act, and to which such Contractor is bound to make contributions under this Agreement, provided that such Subscription Agreement does not purport to bind the Contractor beyond the terms and conditions of this Agreement and/or expand its obligation to make contributions pursuant thereto). It shall be the responsibility of the prime Contractor to have each of its subcontractors sign the appropriate Subscription Agreement, with the appropriate Craft Union prior to the subcontractor beginning work on Project Work.

Section 2.10 Separate Liability It is understood that the liability of the Contractor(s) and the liability of the separate Unions under this Agreement shall be several and not joint. The Unions agree that this Agreement does not have the effect of creating any joint employment status between or among the City or CWA Administrator and/or any Contractor.
Section 2.11 Completed Project Work As areas of Project Work are accepted by the City, this Agreement shall have no further force or effect on such items or areas except where the Contractor is directed by the City or its representatives to engage in repairs, modification, check-out and/or warranties functions required by its contract(s) with the City under the original contract.
ARTICLE 3
UNION RECOGNITION AND EMPLOYMENT
Section 3.1 Recognition The Contractor recognizes the Trades Council and the Unions as the sole and exclusive bargaining representative for the employees engaged in Project Work.
Contractors further recognize that the Unions shall be the primary source of all craft labor employed on the Projects. In the event that a Contractor has its own core workforce, said Contractor shall follow the procedures outlined below.
Section 3.2 Contractor Selection of Employees The Contractor shall have the right to determine the competency of all employees, the number of employees required, the duties of such employees within their craft jurisdiction, and shall have the sole responsibility for selecting employees to be laid off, consistent with Section 3.3 and Section 4.2, below. The Contractor shall also have the right to reject any applicant referred by a Union for any reason, subject to any reporting pay required by Section 6.6; provided, however, that such right is exercised in good faith and not for the purpose of avoiding the Contractor’s commitment to employ qualified workers through the procedures endorsed in this Agreement.
Section 3.3 Referral Procedures
3.3.1 For signatory Unions now having a job referral system contained in a Master Labor Agreement, the Contractor agrees to comply with such system and it shall be used exclusively by such Contractor, except as modified by this Agreement. Such job referral system will be operated in a nondiscriminatory manner and in full compliance with federal, state, and local laws and regulations which require equal employment opportunities and non-discrimination. All of the foregoing hiring procedures, including related practices affecting apprenticeship, shall be operated City Council
14 – 117 5/21/2024
Community Workforce Agreement 10 City of Santa Ana
so as to consider the goals of the City to encourage employment of City residents on the Project, and to facilitate the ability of all Contractors to meet their employment needs.
3.3.2 The local Unions will exert their best efforts to recruit and refer sufficient numbers of skilled craft workers to fulfill the labor requirements of the Contractor, including specific employment obligations to which the Contractor may be legally and/or contractually obligated; and to refer apprentices as requested to develop a larger, skilled workforce. The Unions will work with their affiliated regional and national unions, and jointly with the CWA Administrator and others designated by the City, to identify and refer competent craft persons as needed for Project Work, and to identify and hire individuals, particularly residents of the City, for entrance into joint labor/management apprenticeship programs, or to participate in other identified programs and procedures to assist individuals in qualifying and becoming eligible for such apprenticeship programs, all maintained to increase the available supply of skilled craft personnel for Project Work and future construction of maintenance work to be undertaken by the City.
3.3.3 The Union shall not knowingly refer an employee currently employed by a Contractor on a covered Project to any other Contractor.
Section 3.4 Non-Discrimination in Referral, Employment, and Contracting The Unions and Contractors agree that they will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment in hiring and dispatching on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, gender, national origin, age, membership in a labor organization, sexual orientation, political affiliation, marital status or disability. Further, it is recognized that the City has certain policies, programs, and goals for the utilization of local small business enterprises. The Parties shall jointly endeavor to assure that these commitments are fully met, and that any provisions of this Agreement which may appear to interfere with local small business enterprises successfully bidding for work within the scope of this Agreement shall be carefully reviewed, and adjustments made as may be appropriate and agreed upon among the Parties, to ensure full compliance with the spirit and letter of the City’s policies and commitment to its goals for the significant utilization of local small businesses as direct Contractors or suppliers for Project Work.
Section 3.5 Employment of City Residents
3.5.1 The Unions and Contractors agree that, to the extent allowed by law, and as long as they possess the requisite skills and qualifications, the Unions will exert their best efforts to refer and/or recruit sufficient numbers of skilled craft “Local Residents,” as defined herein, to fulfill the requirements of the Contractors. In recognition of the fact that the City and the communities surrounding Project Work will be impacted by the construction of the Project Work, the parties agree to support the hiring of workers from the residents of these surrounding areas, as well as Veterans and individuals who have successfully completed the Building Trades Multi-Craft Core Curriculum Pre-Apprenticeship Program, regardless of where they reside, for Project Work.
Towards that end, the Unions shall exert their best efforts to encourage and provide referrals and utilization of qualified workers, first, to those residing in U. S. Postal Service zip codes which overlap all of the City of Santa Ana, as set forth in “Attachment B” attached hereto, as well as Veterans, regardless of where they reside (“Tier 1”). If the Unions cannot provide the Contractors in the attainment of a sufficient number of qualified workers from Tier 1, second, the Unions shall City Council
14 – 118 5/21/2024
Community Workforce Agreement 11 City of Santa Ana
exert their best efforts to then recruit and identify for referral qualified workers residing within the County of Orange and individuals who have successfully completed the Building Trades MultiCraft Core Curriculum Pre-Apprenticeship Program, regardless of where they reside (“Tier 2”).
For Dispatch purposes, employees residing within either of these two (2) tiers, as well as Veterans and individuals who have successfully completed the Building Trades Multi-Craft Core Curriculum Pre-Apprenticeship Program, regardless of where they reside, shall be referred to as Local Residents.
3.5.2 A goal of 30% of the total work hours performed on each Project shall be performed by Local Residents.
3.5.3 The Unions agree to support the operation of pre-apprentice referral programs in the City. Further, the Unions agree to place on their referral roles or in their apprentice training programs, as appropriate and needed, qualified persons sent to them by designated City organizations or other organizations working with the City to increase construction industry work opportunities for City residents.
Section 3.6 Requirements on Contractors To facilitate the dispatch of Local Residents, all Contractors will be required to utilize the Craft Employee Request Form whenever they are requesting the referral of any employee from a Union referral list for any Covered Project, a sample of which is attached as “Attachment C.” When Local Residents are requested by the Contractors, the Unions will refer such workers regardless of their place in the Unions’ hiring halls’ list and normal referral procedures.
Section 3.7 Helmets to Hardhats The Contractors and the Unions recognize a desire to facilitate the entry into the building and construction trades of Veterans who are interested in careers in the building and construction industry. The Contractors and Unions agree to utilize the services of non-profit Veterans support organizations, including but not limited to, the Center for Military Recruitment, Assessment and Veterans Employment (hereinafter “Center”) and the Center’s “Helmets to Hardhats” program to serve as a resource for preliminary orientation, assessment of construction aptitude, referral to apprenticeship programs or hiring halls, counseling and mentoring, support network, employment opportunities and other needs as identified by the Parties. For purposes of this Agreement the term “Eligible Veteran” shall have the same meaning as the term “veteran” as defined under Title 5, Section 2108(1) of the United States Code as the same may be amended or re-codified from time to time. It shall be the responsibility of each qualified applicant to provide the Unions with proof of his/her status as an Eligible Veteran.
3.7.1 The Unions and Contractors agree to coordinate with non-profit Veteran organizations, including, the Center to create and maintain an integrated database of veterans interested in working on this Project Work and of apprenticeship and employment opportunities for working on Project Work. To the extent permitted by law, the Unions will give credit to such Veterans for bona fide, provable past experience.

Section 3.8 Core Employees
3.8.1 Contractors not currently signatory to a Master Labor Agreement may employ, as needed, first, a member of its core workforce, then an employee through a referral from the appropriate Union hiring hall, then a second core employee, then a second employee through the referral system, and so on until a maximum of five (5) core employees are employed in the Contractor’s workforce, thereafter, all additional employees in the affected trade or craft shall be requisitioned from the craft hiring hall in accordance with Section 3.3. In the laying off of employees, the number of core employees shall not exceed one-half plus one of the workforce for an employer with 10 or fewer employees, assuming the remaining employees are qualified to undertake the work available.

this Agreement desire and intend Project Work to be undertaken in a cost efficient and effective manner to the highest standard of quality and craftsmanship. Recognizing the economic conditions, the Parties agree that, except to the extent permitted by law, employees performing Project Work shall not be entitled to any differentials or additional pay based upon the shift or work schedule of the employees. Instead, all employees working on Project Work shall be paid at the same base rate regardless of shift or work schedule worked.
6.4.3 Because of operational necessities, the second shift may, at the City’s direction, be scheduled without the preceding shift having been worked. It is recognized that the City’s operations and/or mitigation obligations may require restructuring of normal work schedules.
Except in an emergency or when specified in the City’s bid specification, the Contractor shall give affected Union(s) at least three (3) days’ notice of such schedule changes.

WORK STOPPAGES AND LOCK-OUTS
Section 7.1 No Work Stoppages or Disruptive Activity The Trades Council and the Unions signatory hereto agree that neither they, and each of them, nor their respective officers or agents or representatives, shall incite or encourage, condone or participate in any strike, walk-out, slowdown, picketing, observing picket lines or other activity of any nature or kind whatsoever, for any cause or dispute whatsoever with respect to or in any way related to Project Work, or which interferes with or otherwise disrupts, Project Work, or with respect to or related to the City or Contractors, including, but not limited to, economic strikes, unfair labor practice strikes, safety strikes, sympathy strikes and jurisdictional strikes whether or not the underlying dispute is arbitrable. Any such actions by the Trades Council, or Unions, or their members, agents, representatives or the employees they represent shall constitute a violation of this Agreement. The Trades Council and the Union shall take all steps necessary to obtain compliance with this Article and neither should be held liable for conduct for which it is not responsible.
Section 7.2 Employee Violations The Contractor may discharge any employee violating Section 7.1 above and any such employee will not be eligible for rehire under this Agreement.

Section 7.4 Expiration of Master Labor Agreement If the Master Labor Agreement, or any local, regional, and other applicable collective bargaining agreements expire during the term of the Project, the Union(s) agree that there shall be no work disruption of any kind as described in Section 7.1 above as a result of the expiration of any such agreement(s) having application on this Project and/or failure of the involved Parties to that agreement to reach a new contract. Terms and conditions of employment established and set at the time of bid shall remain established and set.
Otherwise to the extent that such agreement does expire and the Parties to that agreement have failed to reach concurrence on a new contract, work will continue on the Project on one of the following two (2) options, both of which will be offered by the Unions involved to the Contractors affected:
7.4.1 Each of the Unions with a contract expiring must offer to continue working on the Project under interim agreements that retain all the terms of the expiring contract, except that the Unions involved in such expiring contract may each propose wage rates and employer contribution rates to employee benefit funds under the prior contract different from what those wage rates and employer contributions rates were under the expiring contracts. The terms of the Union’s interim agreement offered to Contractors will be no less favorable than the terms offered by the Union to any other employer or group of employers covering the same type of construction work in Orange County.

Community Workforce Agreement 18 City of Santa Ana
7.4.2 Each of the Unions with a Master Labor Agreement expiring must offer to continue working on the Project under all the terms of the expiring contract, including the wage rates and employer contribution rates to the employee benefit funds, if the Contractor affected by that expiring contract agrees to the following retroactive provisions: if a new Master Labor Agreement, local, regional or other applicable labor agreement for the industry having application at the Project is ratified and signed during the term of this Agreement and if such new labor agreement provides for retroactive wage increases, then each affected Contractor shall pay to its employees who performed work covered by this Agreement at the Project during the hiatus between the effective dates of such expired and new labor agreements, an amount equal to any such retroactive wage increase established by such new labor agreement, retroactive to whatever date is provided by the new labor agreement for such increase to go into effect, for each employee’s hours worked on the Project during the retroactive period. All Parties agree that such affected Contractors shall be solely responsible for any retroactive payment to its employees.
7.4.3 Some Contractors may elect to continue to work on the Project under the terms of the interim agreement option offered under paragraph 7.4.1 and other Contractors may elect to continue to work on the Project under the retroactivity option offered under paragraph 7.4.2. To decide between the two options, Contractors will be given one week after the particular labor agreement has expired or one week after the Union has personally delivered to the Contractors in writing its specific offer of terms of the interim agreement pursuant to paragraph 7.4.1, whichever is the later date. If the Contractor fails to timely select one of the two options, the Contractor shall be deemed to have selected the provisions of 7.4.2.

The award shall be issued in writing within three (3) hours after the close of the hearing, and may be issued without an opinion. If any Party desires a written opinion, one shall be issued within fifteen (15) days, but its issuance shall not delay compliance with, or enforcement of, the Award. The arbitrator may order cessation of the violation of the Article and other appropriate relief, and such award shall be served on all Parties by hand or registered mail upon issuance.

Written notice of the filing of such enforcement proceedings shall be given to the other Party. In any judicial proceeding to obtain a temporary order enforcing the arbitrator’s award as issued under this Article, all Parties waive the right to a hearing and agree that such proceedings may be ex parte. Such agreement does not waive any Party’s right to participate in a hearing for a final order of enforcement. The court’s order or orders enforcing the arbitrator’s award shall be served on all Parties by hand or by delivery to their address as shown on this Agreement (for a Union), as shown on their business contract for work under this Agreement (for a Contractor) and to the representing Union (for an employee), by certified mail by the Party or Parties first alleging the violation.
7.8.6 Any rights created by statute or law governing arbitration proceedings inconsistent with the above procedure or which interfere with compliance hereto are hereby waived by the Parties to whom they accrue.

A business representative of the local Union or the job steward and the work site representative of the involved Contractor shall meet and endeavor to resolve the matter within ten (10) working days after timely notice has been given. If they fail to resolve the matter within the prescribed period, the grieving party may, within ten (10) working days thereafter, pursue Step 2 of this grievance procedure provided the grievance is reduced to writing, setting forth the relevant information, including a short description thereof, the date on which the alleged violation occurred, and the provision(s) of the Agreement alleged to have been violated. Grievances and disputes settled at Step 1 shall be non-precedential except as to the parties directly involved.
Union or Contractor Grievances Should the Union(s) or any Contractor have a dispute with the other Party(ies) and, if after conferring within ten (10) working days after the disputing Party knew or should have known of the facts or occurrence giving rise to the dispute, a settlement is not reached within five (5) working days, the dispute shall be reduced to writing and processed to Step 2 in the same manner as outlined in Step 1 above for the adjustment of an employee complaint.
Step 2. The business manager of the involved Union or his designee, together with the site representative of the involved Contractor, and the labor relations representative of the CWA Administrator, shall meet within seven (7) working days of the referral of the dispute to this second step to arrive at a satisfactory settlement thereof. If the Parties fail to reach an agreement, the dispute may be appealed in writing in accordance with the provisions of Step 3 within seven (7) calendar days after the initial meeting at Step 2.
Step 3. (a) If the grievance shall have been submitted but not resolved under Step 2, either the Union of Contractor Party may request in writing to the CWA Administrator (with copy(ies) to the other Party(ies) within seven (7) calendar days after the initial Step 2 meeting, that the grievance be submitted to an arbitrator selected from the agreed upon list in “Attachment (D)” attached hereto, on a rotational basis in the order listed. The CWA Administrator shall notify the parties to the grievance of the date, time and location of the hearing. The failure of any party to attend said hearing shall not delay the hearing of evidence or the issuance of any decision by the arbitrator. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on all parties.
