EXHIBIT D

LABOR COMPLIANCE ADDENDUM
This Agreement is subject to the requirements of California Labor Code section 1720 et seq. requiring the payment of prevailing wages, the training of apprentices, and compliance with other applicable requirements.

A. Prevailing Wage Requirements

1. Contractor shall be obligated to pay not less than the General Prevailing Wage Rate, which can be found at www.dir.ca.gov and are on file with the City Clerk’s office, which shall be available to any interested party upon request. Contractor is also required to have a copy of the applicable wage determination posted and/or available at each job site.

2. Specifically, contractors are reminded of the need for compliance with Labor Code Section 1774-1775 (the payment of prevailing wages and documentation of such), Section 1776 (the keeping and submission of accurate certified payrolls) and 1777.5 in the employment of apprentices on public works projects. Further, overtime must be paid for work in excess of 8 hours per day or 40 hours per week pursuant to Labor Code Section 1811-1813.

3. Special prevailing wage rates generally apply to work performed on weekends, holidays and for certain shift work. Depending on the location of the project and the amount of travel incurred by workers on the project, certain travel and subsistence payments may also be required.

Contractors and subcontractors are on notice that information about such special rates, holidays, premium pay, shift work and travel and subsistence requirements can be found at www.dir.ca.gov .

4. Only bona fide apprentices actively enrolled in a California Division of Apprenticeship Standards approved program may be employed on the project as an apprentice and receive the applicable apprenticeship prevailing wage rates. Apprentices who are not properly supervised and employed in the appropriate ratio shall be paid the full journeyman wages for the classification of work performed.

5. As a condition to receiving progress payments, final payment and payment of retention on any and all projects on which the payment of prevailing wages is required, Contractor agrees to present to City, along with its request for payment, all applicable and necessary certified payrolls (for itself and all applicable subcontractors) for the time period covering such payment request. The term “certified payroll” shall include all required documentation to comply with the mandates set forth in Labor Code Section 1720 et seq, as well as any additional documentation requested by the City or its designee including, but not limited to: certified Agreement with Construction Testing Services, Inc./Exhibit D-Labor Compliance Page 2 Rev. 07-01-18
payroll, fringe benefit statements and backup documentation such as monthly benefit statements, employee timecards, copies of wage statements and cancelled checks, proof of training contributions (CAC2 if applicable), and apprenticeship forms such as DAS-140 and DAS-142.

6. In addition to submitting the certified payrolls and related documentation to City, Contractor and all subcontractors shall be required to submit certified payroll and related documents electronically to the California Department of Industrial Relations. Failure to submit payrolls to the DIR when mandated by the project parameters shall also result in the withholding of progress, retention and/or final payment.

7. No contractor or subcontractor may be listed on a bid proposal for a public works project unless registered with the Department of Industrial Relations pursuant to Labor Code section 1725.5 [with limited exceptions from this requirement for bid purposes only under Labor Code section 1771.1(a)].

8. No contractor or subcontractor may be awarded a contract for public work on a public works project, unless registered with the Department of Industrial Relations pursuant to Labor Code section 1725.5. Contractors MUST be a registered “public works contractor” with the DIR AT THE TIME OF BID. Where the prime contract is less than $15,000 for maintenance work or less than $25,000 for construction alternation, demolition or repair work, registration is not required.

9. All contractors/subcontractors and related construction services subject to prevailing wage, including but not limited to: trucking, surveying and inspection work must be registered with the Department of Industrial Relations as a “public works contractor”. Those you fail to register and maintain their status as a public works contractor shall not be permitted to perform work on the project.

10. Should any contractor or subcontractors not be a registered public works contractor and perform work on the project, Contractor agrees to fully indemnify the City for any fines assessed by the California Department of Industrial Relations against the City for such violation, including all staff costs and attorney’s fee relating to such fine.

11. This project is subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the Department of Industrial Relations.

B. Audit Rights
All records or documents required to be kept pursuant to this Agreement to verify compliance with this Addendum shall be made available for audit at no cost to City, at any time during regular business hours, upon written request by the City Attorney, City Auditor, City Manager, or a designated representative of any of these officers. Copies of such records or documents shall be provided to City for audit at City Hall when it is Agreement with Construction Testing Services, Inc./Exhibit D-Labor Compliance Page 3 Rev. 07-01-18
practical to do so. Otherwise, unless an alternative is mutually agreed upon, the records or documents shall be made available at Contractor’s address indicated for receipt of notices in this Agreement.

C. Enforcement

1. City shall withhold any portion of a payment; including the entire payment amount, until certified payroll forms and related documentation are properly submitted, reviewed and found to be in full compliance. In the event that certified payroll forms do not comply with the requirements of Labor Code Section 1720 et seq., City may continue to hold sufficient funds to cover estimated wages and penalties under the Agreement.

2. Based on State funding sources, this project may be subject to special labor compliance requirements of Proposition 84.

3. The City is not obligated to make any payment due to Contractor until Contractor has performed all of its obligations under these provisions. This provision means that City can withhold all or part of a payment to Contractor until all required documentation is submitted. Any payment by the City despite Contractor’s failure to fully perform its obligations under these provisions shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any other term or condition contained in this Agreement or a waiver of the right to withhold payment for any subsequent breach of this Addendum.

City or the California Department of Industrial Relations may impose penalties upon contractors and subcontractors for failure to comply with prevailing wage requirements.

These penalties are up to $200 per day per worker for each wage violation identified; $100 per day per worker for failure to provide the required paperwork and documentation requested within a 10-day window; and $25 per day per worker for any overtime violation.

EXHIBIT D

LABOR COMPLIANCE ADDENDUM
This Agreement is subject to the requirements of California Labor Code section 1720 et seq. requiring the payment of prevailing wages, the training of apprentices, and compliance with other applicable requirements.

A. Prevailing Wage Requirements

1. Contractor shall be obligated to pay not less than the General Prevailing Wage Rate, which can be found at www.dir.ca.gov and are on file with the City Clerk’s office, which shall be available to any interested party upon request. Contractor is also required to have a copy of the applicable wage determination posted and/or available at each job site.

2. Specifically, contractors are reminded of the need for compliance with Labor Code Section 1774-1775 (the payment of prevailing wages and documentation of such), Section 1776 (the keeping and submission of accurate certified payrolls) and 1777.5 in the employment of apprentices on public works projects. Further, overtime must be paid for work in excess of 8 hours per day or 40 hours per week pursuant to Labor Code Section 1811-1813.

3. Special prevailing wage rates generally apply to work performed on weekends, holidays and for certain shift work. Depending on the location of the project and the amount of travel incurred by workers on the project, certain travel and subsistence payments may also be required.

Contractors and subcontractors are on notice that information about such special rates, holidays, premium pay, shift work and travel and subsistence requirements can be found at www.dir.ca.gov .

4. Only bona fide apprentices actively enrolled in a California Division of Apprenticeship Standards approved program may be employed on the project as an apprentice and receive the applicable apprenticeship prevailing wage rates. Apprentices who are not properly supervised and employed in the appropriate ratio shall be paid the full journeyman wages for the classification of work performed.

5. As a condition to receiving progress payments, final payment and payment of retention on any and all projects on which the payment of prevailing wages is required, Contractor agrees to present to City, along with its request for payment, all applicable and necessary certified payrolls (for itself and all applicable subcontractors) for the time period covering such payment request. The term “certified payroll” shall include all required documentation to comply with the mandates set forth in Labor Code Section 1720 et seq, as well as any additional documentation requested by the City or its designee including, but not limited to: certified Agreement with Ninyo and Moore/Exhibit D-Labor Compliance Page 2 Rev. 07-01-18
payroll, fringe benefit statements and backup documentation such as monthly benefit statements, employee timecards, copies of wage statements and cancelled checks, proof of training contributions (CAC2 if applicable), and apprenticeship forms such as DAS-140 and DAS-142.

6. In addition to submitting the certified payrolls and related documentation to City, Contractor and all subcontractors shall be required to submit certified payroll and related documents electronically to the California Department of Industrial Relations. Failure to submit payrolls to the DIR when mandated by the project parameters shall also result in the withholding of progress, retention and/or final payment.

7. No contractor or subcontractor may be listed on a bid proposal for a public works project unless registered with the Department of Industrial Relations pursuant to Labor Code section 1725.5 [with limited exceptions from this requirement for bid purposes only under Labor Code section 1771.1(a)].

8. No contractor or subcontractor may be awarded a contract for public work on a public works project, unless registered with the Department of Industrial Relations pursuant to Labor Code section 1725.5. Contractors MUST be a registered “public works contractor” with the DIR AT THE TIME OF BID. Where the prime contract is less than $15,000 for maintenance work or less than $25,000 for construction alternation, demolition or repair work, registration is not required.

9. All contractors/subcontractors and related construction services subject to prevailing wage, including but not limited to: trucking, surveying and inspection work must be registered with the Department of Industrial Relations as a “public works contractor”. Those you fail to register and maintain their status as a public works contractor shall not be permitted to perform work on the project.

10. Should any contractor or subcontractors not be a registered public works contractor and perform work on the project, Contractor agrees to fully indemnify the City for any fines assessed by the California Department of Industrial Relations against the City for such violation, including all staff costs and attorney’s fee relating to such fine.

11. This project is subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the Department of Industrial Relations.

B. Audit Rights
All records or documents required to be kept pursuant to this Agreement to verify compliance with this Addendum shall be made available for audit at no cost to City, at any time during regular business hours, upon written request by the City Attorney, City Auditor, City Manager, or a designated representative of any of these officers. Copies of such records or documents shall be provided to City for audit at City Hall when it is Agreement with Ninyo and Moore/Exhibit D-Labor Compliance Page 3 Rev. 07-01-18
practical to do so. Otherwise, unless an alternative is mutually agreed upon, the records or documents shall be made available at Contractor’s address indicated for receipt of notices in this Agreement.

C. Enforcement

1. City shall withhold any portion of a payment; including the entire payment amount, until certified payroll forms and related documentation are properly submitted, reviewed and found to be in full compliance. In the event that certified payroll forms do not comply with the requirements of Labor Code Section 1720 et seq., City may continue to hold sufficient funds to cover estimated wages and penalties under the Agreement.

2. Based on State funding sources, this project may be subject to special labor compliance requirements of Proposition 84.

3. The City is not obligated to make any payment due to Contractor until Contractor has performed all of its obligations under these provisions. This provision means that City can withhold all or part of a payment to Contractor until all required documentation is submitted. Any payment by the City despite Contractor’s failure to fully perform its obligations under these provisions shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any other term or condition contained in this Agreement or a waiver of the right to withhold payment for any subsequent breach of this Addendum.

City or the California Department of Industrial Relations may impose penalties upon contractors and subcontractors for failure to comply with prevailing wage requirements.

These penalties are up to $200 per day per worker for each wage violation identified; $100 per day per worker for failure to provide the required paperwork and documentation requested within a 10-day window; and $25 per day per worker for any overtime violation.

3. TERM OF AGREEMENT
Unless otherwise set forth in this Agreement or unless this paragraph is subsequently modified by a written amendment to this Agreement, the term of this Agreement shall begin upon execution of the Agreement by the City and terminate on April 30, 2025.

4. SCOPE OF SERVICES & SERVICE ORDERS
Contractor shall perform those Services specified in Exhibit A on an as-needed basis pursuant to individual service orders (“Service Orders”) issued in accordance with the Terms and Conditions of this Agreement.

1. City will initiate each Service Order by specifying and describing the services and deliverables (collectively “Work”) requested, which the Contractor must respond to by providing proposals and estimates of the time limit(s) within which the Contractor must complete the Work, and the compensation for the Work. Exhibit A further describes the procedure for Service Orders.

2. The Contractor shall not perform any Work pursuant to a Service Order, and therefore will not be entitled to any compensation for any Work, until the City has approved and executed the service order for such Work (“Approved Service Order”).

3. Each Approved Service Order incorporates the Terms and Conditions of this Agreement.

4. The City has no obligation to approve, issue, or execute any Service Orders under this Agreement, nor does it have any obligation to pay Contractor for any Work absent an Approved Service Order. The City may issue any number of Approved Service Orders provided that the sum of the maximum compensation of all Approved Service Orders cannot exceed the Maximum Total Compensation defined in Section 7 below.

To the extent possible, the services to be provided under this Agreement shall be performed in the City of Santa Clara.

Contractor has full rights to manage its employees in their performance of Services under this Agreement.

12. CONFIDENTIALITY OF MATERIAL
All ideas, memoranda, specifications, plans, manufacturing procedures, data, drawings, descriptions, documents, discussions or other information developed or received by or for Contractor and all other written information submitted to Contractor in connection with the performance of this Agreement shall be held confidential by Contractor and shall not, without the prior written consent of City, Agreement with Quality Assurance Engineering, Inc.

14. RIGHT OF CITY TO INSPECT RECORDS OF CONTRACTOR
City, through its authorized employees, representatives or agents shall have the right during the term of this Agreement and for four (4) years from the date of final payment for goods or services provided under this Agreement, to audit the books and records of Contractor for the purpose of verifying any and all charges made by Contractor in connection with Contractor compensation under this Agreement, including termination of Contractor. Contractor agrees to maintain sufficient books and records in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles to establish the correctness of all charges submitted to City. Any expenses not so recorded shall be disallowed by City. Contractor shall bear the cost of the audit if the audit determines that there has been a substantial billing deviation in excess of five (5) percent adverse to the City.

Contractor shall submit to City any and all reports concerning its performance under this Agreement that may be requested by City in writing. Contractor agrees to assist City in meeting City’s reporting requirements to the State and other agencies with respect to Contractor’s Services hereunder.

15. HOLD HARMLESS/INDEMNIFICATION
A. To the extent permitted by law, Contractor agrees to protect, defend, hold harmless and indemnify City, its City Council, commissions, officers, employees, volunteers and agents from and against any claim, injury, liability, loss, cost, and/or expense or damage, including all costs and attorney’s fees in providing a defense to any such claim or other action, and whether sounding in law, contract, tort, or equity, in any manner arising from, or alleged to arise in whole or in part from, or in any way connected with the Services performed by Contractor pursuant to this Agreement – including claims of any kind by Contractor’s employees or Agreement with Quality Assurance Engineering, Inc. Page 6 Rev. 07-01-18
persons contracting with Contractor to perform any portion of the Scope of Services – and shall expressly include passive or active negligence by City connected with the Services. However, the obligation to indemnify shall not apply if such liability is ultimately adjudicated to have arisen through the sole active negligence or sole willful misconduct of City; the obligation to defend is not similarly limited.

B. Contractor’s obligation to protect, defend, indemnify, and hold harmless in full City and City’s employees, shall specifically extend to any and all employment-related claims of any type brought by employees, contractors, subcontractors or other agents of Contractor, against City (either alone, or jointly with Contractor), regardless of venue/jurisdiction in which the claim is brought and the manner of relief sought.

C. To the extent Contractor is obligated to provide health insurance coverage to its employees pursuant to the Affordable Care Act (“Act”) and/or any other similar federal or state law, Contractor warrants that it is meeting its obligations under the Act and will fully indemnify and hold harmless City for any penalties, fines, adverse rulings, or tax payments associated with Contractor’s responsibilities under the Act.

EXHIBIT D

LABOR COMPLIANCE ADDENDUM
This Agreement is subject to the requirements of California Labor Code section 1720 et seq. requiring the payment of prevailing wages, the training of apprentices, and compliance with other applicable requirements.

A. Prevailing Wage Requirements

1. Contractor shall be obligated to pay not less than the General Prevailing Wage Rate, which can be found at www.dir.ca.gov and are on file with the City Clerk’s office, which shall be available to any interested party upon request. Contractor is also required to have a copy of the applicable wage determination posted and/or available at each job site.

2. Specifically, contractors are reminded of the need for compliance with Labor Code Section 1774-1775 (the payment of prevailing wages and documentation of such), Section 1776 (the keeping and submission of accurate certified payrolls) and 1777.5 in the employment of apprentices on public works projects. Further, overtime must be paid for work in excess of 8 hours per day or 40 hours per week pursuant to Labor Code Section 1811-1813.

3. Special prevailing wage rates generally apply to work performed on weekends, holidays and for certain shift work. Depending on the location of the project and the amount of travel incurred by workers on the project, certain travel and subsistence payments may also be required.

Contractors and subcontractors are on notice that information about such special rates, holidays, premium pay, shift work and travel and subsistence requirements can be found at www.dir.ca.gov .

4. Only bona fide apprentices actively enrolled in a California Division of Apprenticeship Standards approved program may be employed on the project as an apprentice and receive the applicable apprenticeship prevailing wage rates. Apprentices who are not properly supervised and employed in the appropriate ratio shall be paid the full journeyman wages for the classification of work performed.

5. As a condition to receiving progress payments, final payment and payment of retention on any and all projects on which the payment of prevailing wages is required, Contractor agrees to present to City, along with its request for payment, all applicable and necessary certified payrolls (for itself and all applicable subcontractors) for the time period covering such payment request. The term “certified payroll” shall include all required documentation to comply with the mandates set forth in Labor Code Section 1720 et seq, as well as any additional documentation requested by the City or its designee including, but not limited to: certified Agreement with Quality Assurance Engineering, Inc./Exhibit D-Labor Compliance Page 2 Rev. 07-01-18
payroll, fringe benefit statements and backup documentation such as monthly benefit statements, employee timecards, copies of wage statements and cancelled checks, proof of training contributions (CAC2 if applicable), and apprenticeship forms such as DAS-140 and DAS-142.

6. In addition to submitting the certified payrolls and related documentation to City, Contractor and all subcontractors shall be required to submit certified payroll and related documents electronically to the California Department of Industrial Relations. Failure to submit payrolls to the DIR when mandated by the project parameters shall also result in the withholding of progress, retention and/or final payment.

7. No contractor or subcontractor may be listed on a bid proposal for a public works project unless registered with the Department of Industrial Relations pursuant to Labor Code section 1725.5 [with limited exceptions from this requirement for bid purposes only under Labor Code section 1771.1(a)].

8. No contractor or subcontractor may be awarded a contract for public work on a public works project, unless registered with the Department of Industrial Relations pursuant to Labor Code section 1725.5. Contractors MUST be a registered “public works contractor” with the DIR AT THE TIME OF BID. Where the prime contract is less than $15,000 for maintenance work or less than $25,000 for construction alternation, demolition or repair work, registration is not required.

9. All contractors/subcontractors and related construction services subject to prevailing wage, including but not limited to: trucking, surveying and inspection work must be registered with the Department of Industrial Relations as a “public works contractor”. Those you fail to register and maintain their status as a public works contractor shall not be permitted to perform work on the project.

10. Should any contractor or subcontractors not be a registered public works contractor and perform work on the project, Contractor agrees to fully indemnify the City for any fines assessed by the California Department of Industrial Relations against the City for such violation, including all staff costs and attorney’s fee relating to such fine.

11. This project is subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the Department of Industrial Relations.

B. Audit Rights
All records or documents required to be kept pursuant to this Agreement to verify compliance with this Addendum shall be made available for audit at no cost to City, at any time during regular business hours, upon written request by the City Attorney, City Auditor, City Manager, or a designated representative of any of these officers. Copies of such records or documents shall be provided to City for audit at City Hall when it is Agreement with Quality Assurance Engineering, Inc./Exhibit D-Labor Compliance Page 3 Rev. 07-01-18
practical to do so. Otherwise, unless an alternative is mutually agreed upon, the records or documents shall be made available at Contractor’s address indicated for receipt of notices in this Agreement.

C. Enforcement

1. City shall withhold any portion of a payment; including the entire payment amount, until certified payroll forms and related documentation are properly submitted, reviewed and found to be in full compliance. In the event that certified payroll forms do not comply with the requirements of Labor Code Section 1720 et seq., City may continue to hold sufficient funds to cover estimated wages and penalties under the Agreement.

2. Based on State funding sources, this project may be subject to special labor compliance requirements of Proposition 84.

3. The City is not obligated to make any payment due to Contractor until Contractor has performed all of its obligations under these provisions. This provision means that City can withhold all or part of a payment to Contractor until all required documentation is submitted. Any payment by the City despite Contractor’s failure to fully perform its obligations under these provisions shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any other term or condition contained in this Agreement or a waiver of the right to withhold payment for any subsequent breach of this Addendum.

City or the California Department of Industrial Relations may impose penalties upon contractors and subcontractors for failure to comply with prevailing wage requirements.

These penalties are up to $200 per day per worker for each wage violation identified; $100 per day per worker for failure to provide the required paperwork and documentation requested within a 10-day window; and $25 per day per worker for any overtime violation.

EXHIBIT D

LABOR COMPLIANCE ADDENDUM
This Agreement is subject to the requirements of California Labor Code section 1720 et seq. requiring the payment of prevailing wages, the training of apprentices, and compliance with other applicable requirements.

A. Prevailing Wage Requirements

1. Contractor shall be obligated to pay not less than the General Prevailing Wage Rate, which can be found at www.dir.ca.gov and are on file with the City Clerk’s office, which shall be available to any interested party upon request. Contractor is also required to have a copy of the applicable wage determination posted and/or available at each job site.

2. Specifically, contractors are reminded of the need for compliance with Labor Code Section 1774-1775 (the payment of prevailing wages and documentation of such), Section 1776 (the keeping and submission of accurate certified payrolls) and 1777.5 in the employment of apprentices on public works projects. Further, overtime must be paid for work in excess of 8 hours per day or 40 hours per week pursuant to Labor Code Section 1811-1813.

3. Special prevailing wage rates generally apply to work performed on weekends, holidays and for certain shift work. Depending on the location of the project and the amount of travel incurred by workers on the project, certain travel and subsistence payments may also be required.

Contractors and subcontractors are on notice that information about such special rates, holidays, premium pay, shift work and travel and subsistence requirements can be found at www.dir.ca.gov .

4. Only bona fide apprentices actively enrolled in a California Division of Apprenticeship Standards approved program may be employed on the project as an apprentice and receive the applicable apprenticeship prevailing wage rates. Apprentices who are not properly supervised and employed in the appropriate ratio shall be paid the full journeyman wages for the classification of work performed.

5. As a condition to receiving progress payments, final payment and payment of retention on any and all projects on which the payment of prevailing wages is required, Contractor agrees to present to City, along with its request for payment, all applicable and necessary certified payrolls (for itself and all applicable subcontractors) for the time period covering such payment request. The term “certified payroll” shall include all required documentation to comply with the mandates set forth in Labor Code Section 1720 et seq, as well as any additional documentation requested by the City or its designee including, but not limited to: certified Agreement with Smith-Emery/Exhibit D-Labor Compliance Page 2 Rev. 07-01-18
payroll, fringe benefit statements and backup documentation such as monthly benefit statements, employee timecards, copies of wage statements and cancelled checks, proof of training contributions (CAC2 if applicable), and apprenticeship forms such as DAS-140 and DAS-142.

6. In addition to submitting the certified payrolls and related documentation to City, Contractor and all subcontractors shall be required to submit certified payroll and related documents electronically to the California Department of Industrial Relations. Failure to submit payrolls to the DIR when mandated by the project parameters shall also result in the withholding of progress, retention and/or final payment.

7. No contractor or subcontractor may be listed on a bid proposal for a public works project unless registered with the Department of Industrial Relations pursuant to Labor Code section 1725.5 [with limited exceptions from this requirement for bid purposes only under Labor Code section 1771.1(a)].

8. No contractor or subcontractor may be awarded a contract for public work on a public works project, unless registered with the Department of Industrial Relations pursuant to Labor Code section 1725.5. Contractors MUST be a registered “public works contractor” with the DIR AT THE TIME OF BID. Where the prime contract is less than $15,000 for maintenance work or less than $25,000 for construction alternation, demolition or repair work, registration is not required.

9. All contractors/subcontractors and related construction services subject to prevailing wage, including but not limited to: trucking, surveying and inspection work must be registered with the Department of Industrial Relations as a “public works contractor”. Those you fail to register and maintain their status as a public works contractor shall not be permitted to perform work on the project.

10. Should any contractor or subcontractors not be a registered public works contractor and perform work on the project, Contractor agrees to fully indemnify the City for any fines assessed by the California Department of Industrial Relations against the City for such violation, including all staff costs and attorney’s fee relating to such fine.

11. This project is subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the Department of Industrial Relations.

B. Audit Rights
All records or documents required to be kept pursuant to this Agreement to verify compliance with this Addendum shall be made available for audit at no cost to City, at any time during regular business hours, upon written request by the City Attorney, City Auditor, City Manager, or a designated representative of any of these officers. Copies of such records or documents shall be provided to City for audit at City Hall when it is Agreement with Smith-Emery/Exhibit D-Labor Compliance Page 3 Rev. 07-01-18
practical to do so. Otherwise, unless an alternative is mutually agreed upon, the records or documents shall be made available at Contractor’s address indicated for receipt of notices in this Agreement.

C. Enforcement

1. City shall withhold any portion of a payment; including the entire payment amount, until certified payroll forms and related documentation are properly submitted, reviewed and found to be in full compliance. In the event that certified payroll forms do not comply with the requirements of Labor Code Section 1720 et seq., City may continue to hold sufficient funds to cover estimated wages and penalties under the Agreement.

2. Based on State funding sources, this project may be subject to special labor compliance requirements of Proposition 84.

3. The City is not obligated to make any payment due to Contractor until Contractor has performed all of its obligations under these provisions. This provision means that City can withhold all or part of a payment to Contractor until all required documentation is submitted. Any payment by the City despite Contractor’s failure to fully perform its obligations under these provisions shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any other term or condition contained in this Agreement or a waiver of the right to withhold payment for any subsequent breach of this Addendum.

City or the California Department of Industrial Relations may impose penalties upon contractors and subcontractors for failure to comply with prevailing wage requirements.

These penalties are up to $200 per day per worker for each wage violation identified; $100 per day per worker for failure to provide the required paperwork and documentation requested within a 10-day window; and $25 per day per worker for any overtime violation.

REPORT TO COUNCIL

SUBJECT
Action on Agreements with CSG Consultants, CPM Associates, and Propcon Corp dba APC International, for Construction Management and Inspection Services for Public Works Projects

COUNCIL PILLAR
Manage Strategically Our Workforce Capacity and Resources

BACKGROUND
The Department of Public Works (DPW) provides construction management and inspection services for both capital and development projects. This effort involves a wide variety of projects such as pavement rehabilitation; traffic signal systems, signing and striping; parks; storm drain and sanitary sewer improvements; and building renovations. When numerous projects are in the construction phase concurrently, DPW does not have the necessary staffing to support all the projects so consultant resources are required.

The purpose and scope of these agreements (Attachments 1,2 and 3) is to provide on-call construction management and inspection services to supplement City staff for various Public Works projects.

DISCUSSION
Pursuant to City Code Section 2.105.330, a formal Request for Qualifications (RFQ) was conducted as the solicitation method for this procurement. The factors considered in the award were the experience of the firm, staff qualification, availability, project approach, and customer references. The RFQ was advertised in December 2021 and seven proposals were received from the following firms on December 21, 2021.

1. Bellecci & Associates, Inc.

2. CPM Associates, Inc.

3. CSG Consultants, Inc.

4. MCK Americas, Inc.

5. Propcon Corp dba APC international

6. SNG & Associates, Inc.

7. Swinerton Management & Consulting
The proposals were independently evaluated by a three-member evaluation team with representation from DPW. The proposals were evaluated against the above criteria published in the RFQ. DPW staff recommended the award of on-call agreements to the following proposer as the top three ranked firms due to their respective performance track record, qualified staffing, and experience:

22-41 Agenda Date: 3/8/2022

1. CSG Consultants, Inc.

2. CPM Associates, Inc.

3. Propcon Corp dba APC International
Based on Capital Improvement Plan projections and the volume of projects that will be in the construction phase, the estimated need for on-call consultant services for the remainder of the current fiscal year and the next two fiscal years is approximately $738,000. Staff requests the approval of agreements with three different consultants so there is flexibility in case one or more of them cannot provide timely services to the City based on workload.

Staff recommends the approval of three, three-year agreements, each with an initial not-to-exceed amount of $246,000, for a total not-to-exceed amount of $738,000. Staff requests approval for City Manager authority to shift funding between the agreements to provide flexibility as the project support needs are matched to the consultant best suited for the scope of work and schedule. Staff also requests City Manager authority to exercise up to two, one-year extensions for each agreement and increase aggregate agreement amounts up to maximum compensation of $1,050,000 to account for unforeseen project needs as additional projects will be identified, current projects will be further defined, and construction timeframes will be more accurately predicted in the future.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The action being considered does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378(a) as it has no potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.

FISCAL IMPACT
The amount to be paid to consultants for construction management and inspection services over the three-year term of the agreements is initially estimated to be $738,000 (divided evenly between the three agreements with each agreement at $246,000). Funding in the Public Works Capital Project Management Fund in the amount of $342,270 is available in the current fiscal year (FY 2021/22) and $196,115 is available in FY 2022/23 for a total of $538,385 in the current Biennial Adopted Operating Budget. The anticipated future appropriation for FY 2023/24 that will coincide with the third year of the agreement initial terms is estimated at no less than $200,000. The total three-year anticipated budget amount is therefore a combined $738,385. Since the Capital Improvement Program Budget is still under development, additional projects may be identified, current projects will be further defined, and construction timeframes will be more accurately predicted. As a result, additional budget needs may be identified and incorporated into future budget requests. Funding for the agreements beyond the current Adopted Operating Budget is subject to the appropriation of funds.

COORDINATION
This report has been coordinated with the Finance Department and the City Attorney’s Office.

PUBLIC CONTACT
Public contact was made by posting the Council agenda on the City’s official-notice bulletin board outside City Hall Council Chambers. A complete agenda packet is available on the City’s website and in the City Clerk’s Office at least 72 hours prior to a Regular Meeting and 24 hours prior to a Special Meeting. A hard copy of any agenda report may be requested by contacting the City Clerk’s City of Santa Clara Printed on 3/4/2022Page 2 of 3

2.2 Contractor will prepare a written service order proposal in accordance with the City’s request. Contractor shall consider and incorporate into the proposal any City input regarding City staffing availability to participate in the delivery of the Work. The proposal must include, but is not limited to, the following:

2.2.1 The proposed scope of Work;

2.2.2 The name and assignment of each of Contractor’s professional employees who will be principally responsible for performing the Work;

2.2.3 A time schedule and total cost for providing the Work; and

3. STAFFING IN COORDINATION WITH CITY
The City may be in a position to have City staff perform some of the responsibilities of the construction management and inspection team for a specified scope of services. The City staff may be either part-time or full-time.

Contractor should therefore anticipate the possibility that City staff will need to be Agreement with CPM Associates, Inc./Exhibit A-Scope of Services Page 6 Rev. 07-01-18
integrated into the construction management and inspection team. This will necessarily displace Contractor staff for these functions. All staffing considerations and decisions are anticipated to be a collaborative effort between the City and Contractor; however, in case of a dispute, the City shall have final decision authority regarding staffing for the scope of services. If the City indicates that no City staffing support is available, the Contractor will be requested to propose on a complete team to perform all of the desired scope of services.

4. RESPONSIBILIITES OF CITY
The City shall provide City’s Public Works Standard Details and Specifications for construction.

The City shall provide related/needed Storm Drain, Electric, Water, Sewer and Recycled Water Block Book Maps and record drawings (if available).

The City shall provide user licenses/logins for Contractor staff to access and use e-Builder, the City’s enterprise project management system. All construction phase documentation shall be developed and/or stored in e-Builder.

LABOR COMPLIANCE ADDENDUM
This Agreement is subject to the requirements of California Labor Code section 1720 et seq. requiring the payment of prevailing wages, the training of apprentices, and compliance with other applicable requirements.

A. Prevailing Wage Requirements

Contractor is also required to have a copy of the applicable wage determination posted and/or available at each job site.

Specifically, contractors are reminded of the need for compliance with Labor Code Section 1774-1775 (the payment of prevailing wages and documentation of such), Section 1776 (the keeping and submission of accurate certified payrolls) and 1777.5 in the employment of apprentices on public works projects. Further, overtime must be paid for work in excess of 8 hours per day or 40 hours per week pursuant to Labor Code Section 1811-1813.

3. Special prevailing wage rates generally apply to work performed on weekends, holidays and for certain shift work. Depending on the location of the project and the amount of travel incurred by workers on the project, certain travel and subsistence payments may also be required.

Contractors and subcontractors are on notice that information about such special rates, holidays, premium pay, shift work and travel and subsistence requirements can be found at www.dir.ca.gov .

4. Only bona fide apprentices actively enrolled in a California Division of Apprenticeship Standards approved program may be employed on the project as an apprentice and receive the applicable apprenticeship prevailing wage rates. Apprentices who are not properly supervised and employed in the appropriate ratio shall be paid the full journeyman wages for the classification of work performed.

5. As a condition to receiving progress payments, final payment and payment of retention on any and all projects on which the payment of prevailing wages is required, Contractor agrees to present to City, along with its request for payment, all applicable and necessary certified payrolls (for itself and all applicable subcontractors) for the time period covering such payment request. The term “certified payroll” shall include all required documentation to comply with the mandates set forth in Labor Code Section 1720 et seq, as well as any additional documentation requested by the City or its designee including, but not limited to: certified Agreement with CPM Associates, Inc./Exhibit D-Labor Compliance Page 2 Rev. 07-01-18
payroll, fringe benefit statements and backup documentation such as monthly benefit statements, employee timecards, copies of wage statements and cancelled checks, proof of training contributions (CAC2 if applicable), and apprenticeship forms such as DAS-140 and DAS-142.

6. In addition to submitting the certified payrolls and related documentation to City, Contractor and all subcontractors shall be required to submit certified payroll and related documents electronically to the California Department of Industrial Relations. Failure to submit payrolls to the DIR when mandated by the project parameters shall also result in the withholding of progress, retention and/or final payment.

7. No contractor or subcontractor may be listed on a bid proposal for a public works project unless registered with the Department of Industrial Relations pursuant to Labor Code section 1725.5 [with limited exceptions from this requirement for bid purposes only under Labor Code section 1771.1(a)].

8. No contractor or subcontractor may be awarded a contract for public work on a public works project, unless registered with the Department of Industrial Relations pursuant to Labor Code section 1725.5. Contractors MUST be a registered “public works contractor” with the DIR AT THE TIME OF BID. Where the prime contract is less than $15,000 for maintenance work or less than $25,000 for construction alternation, demolition or repair work, registration is not required.

9. All contractors/subcontractors and related construction services subject to prevailing wage, including but not limited to: trucking, surveying and inspection work must be registered with the Department of Industrial Relations as a “public works contractor”. Those you fail to register and maintain their status as a public works contractor shall not be permitted to perform work on the project.

10. Should any contractor or subcontractors not be a registered public works contractor and perform work on the project, Contractor agrees to fully indemnify the City for any fines assessed by the California Department of Industrial Relations against the City for such violation, including all staff costs and attorney’s fee relating to such fine.

11. This project is subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the Department of Industrial Relations.

B. Audit Rights
All records or documents required to be kept pursuant to this Agreement to verify compliance with this Addendum shall be made available for audit at no cost to City, at any time during regular business hours, upon written request by the City Attorney, City Auditor, City Manager, or a designated representative of any of these officers. Copies of such records or documents shall be provided to City for audit at City Hall when it is Agreement with CPM Associates, Inc./Exhibit D-Labor Compliance Page 3 Rev. 07-01-18
practical to do so. Otherwise, unless an alternative is mutually agreed upon, the records or documents shall be made available at Contractor’s address indicated for receipt of notices in this Agreement.

C. Enforcement

1. City shall withhold any portion of a payment; including the entire payment amount, until certified payroll forms and related documentation are properly submitted, reviewed and found to be in full compliance. In the event that certified payroll forms do not comply with the requirements of Labor Code Section 1720 et seq., City may continue to hold sufficient funds to cover estimated wages and penalties under the Agreement.

2. Based on State funding sources, this project may be subject to special labor compliance requirements of Proposition 84.

3. The City is not obligated to make any payment due to Contractor until Contractor has performed all of its obligations under these provisions. This provision means that City can withhold all or part of a payment to Contractor until all required documentation is submitted. Any payment by the City despite Contractor’s failure to fully perform its obligations under these provisions shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any other term or condition contained in this Agreement or a waiver of the right to withhold payment for any subsequent breach of this Addendum.

City or the California Department of Industrial Relations may impose penalties upon contractors and subcontractors for failure to comply with prevailing wage requirements.

These penalties are up to $200 per day per worker for each wage violation identified; $100 per day per worker for failure to provide the required paperwork and documentation requested within a 10-day window; and $25 per day per worker for any overtime violation.

2.2 Contractor will prepare a written service order proposal in accordance with the City’s request. Contractor shall consider and incorporate into the proposal any City input regarding City staffing availability to participate in the delivery of the Work. The proposal must include, but is not limited to, the following:

2.2.1 The proposed scope of Work;

2.2.2 The name and assignment of each of Contractor’s professional employees who will be principally responsible for performing the Work;

2.2.3 A time schedule and total cost for providing the Work; and

3. STAFFING IN COORDINATION WITH CITY
The City may be in a position to have City staff perform some of the responsibilities of the construction management and inspection team for a specified scope of services. The City staff may be either part-time or full-time.

Contractor should therefore anticipate the possibility that City staff will need to be Agreement with CSG Consultants, Inc./Exhibit A-Scope of Services Page 6 Rev. 07-01-18
integrated into the construction management and inspection team. This will necessarily displace Contractor staff for these functions. All staffing considerations and decisions are anticipated to be a collaborative effort between the City and Contractor; however, in case of a dispute, the City shall have final decision authority regarding staffing for the scope of services. If the City indicates that no City staffing support is available, the Contractor will be requested to propose on a complete team to perform all of the desired scope of services.

The City shall provide City’s Public Works Standard Details and Specifications for construction.

The City shall provide related/needed Storm Drain, Electric, Water, Sewer and Recycled Water Block Book Maps and record drawings (if available).

2.2 Contractor will prepare a written service order proposal in accordance with the City’s request. Contractor shall consider and incorporate into the proposal any City input regarding City staffing availability to participate in the delivery of the Work. The proposal must include, but is not limited to, the following:

2.2.1 The proposed scope of Work;

2.2.2 The name and assignment of each of Contractor’s professional employees who will be principally responsible for performing the Work;

2.2.3 A time schedule and total cost for providing the Work; and

3. STAFFING IN COORDINATION WITH CITY
The City may be in a position to have City staff perform some of the responsibilities of the construction management and inspection team for a specified scope of services. The City staff may be either part-time or full-time.

Contractor should therefore anticipate the possibility that City staff will need to be Agreement with Propcon Corp./Exhibit A-Scope of Services Page 6 Rev. 07-01-18
integrated into the construction management and inspection team. This will necessarily displace Contractor staff for these functions. All staffing considerations and decisions are anticipated to be a collaborative effort between the City and Contractor; however, in case of a dispute, the City shall have final decision authority regarding staffing for the scope of services. If the City indicates that no City staffing support is available, the Contractor will be requested to propose on a complete team to perform all of the desired scope of services.

4. RESPONSIBILIITES OF CITY
The City shall provide City’s Public Works Standard Details and Specifications for construction.

The City shall provide related/needed Storm Drain, Electric, Water, Sewer and Recycled Water Block Book Maps and record drawings (if available).

This Agreement is subject to the requirements of California Labor Code section 1720 et seq. requiring the payment of prevailing wages, the training of apprentices, and compliance with other applicable requirements.

A. Prevailing Wage Requirements

1. Contractor shall be obligated to pay not less than the General Prevailing Wage Rate, which can be found at www.dir.ca.gov and are on file with the City Clerk’s office, which shall be available to any interested party upon request. Contractor is also required to have a copy of the applicable wage determination posted and/or available at each job site.

Specifically, contractors are reminded of the need for compliance with Labor Code Section 1774-1775 (the payment of prevailing wages and documentation of such), Section 1776 (the keeping and submission of accurate certified payrolls) and 1777.5 in the employment of apprentices on public works projects. Further, overtime must be paid for work in excess of 8 hours per day or 40 hours per week pursuant to Labor Code Section 1811-1813.

3. Special prevailing wage rates generally apply to work performed on weekends, holidays and for certain shift work. Depending on the location of the project and the amount of travel incurred by workers on the project, certain travel and subsistence payments may also be required.

Contractors and subcontractors are on notice that information about such special rates, holidays, premium pay, shift work and travel and subsistence requirements can be found at www.dir.ca.gov .

4. Only bona fide apprentices actively enrolled in a California Division of Apprenticeship Standards approved program may be employed on the project as an apprentice and receive the applicable apprenticeship prevailing wage rates. Apprentices who are not properly supervised and employed in the appropriate ratio shall be paid the full journeyman wages for the classification of work performed.

5. As a condition to receiving progress payments, final payment and payment of retention on any and all projects on which the payment of prevailing wages is required, Contractor agrees to present to City, along with its request for payment, all applicable and necessary certified payrolls (for itself and all applicable subcontractors) for the time period covering such payment request. The term “certified payroll” shall include all required documentation to comply with the mandates set forth in Labor Code Section 1720 et seq, as well as any additional documentation requested by the City or its designee including, but not limited to: certified Agreement with Propcon Corp./Exhibit D-Labor Compliance Page 2 Rev. 07-01-18
payroll, fringe benefit statements and backup documentation such as monthly benefit statements, employee timecards, copies of wage statements and cancelled checks, proof of training contributions (CAC2 if applicable), and apprenticeship forms such as DAS-140 and DAS-142.

6. In addition to submitting the certified payrolls and related documentation to City, Contractor and all subcontractors shall be required to submit certified payroll and related documents electronically to the California Department of Industrial Relations. Failure to submit payrolls to the DIR when mandated by the project parameters shall also result in the withholding of progress, retention and/or final payment.

7. No contractor or subcontractor may be listed on a bid proposal for a public works project unless registered with the Department of Industrial Relations pursuant to Labor Code section 1725.5 [with limited exceptions from this requirement for bid purposes only under Labor Code section 1771.1(a)].

8. No contractor or subcontractor may be awarded a contract for public work on a public works project, unless registered with the Department of Industrial Relations pursuant to Labor Code section 1725.5. Contractors MUST be a registered “public works contractor” with the DIR AT THE TIME OF BID. Where the prime contract is less than $15,000 for maintenance work or less than $25,000 for construction alternation, demolition or repair work, registration is not required.

9. All contractors/subcontractors and related construction services subject to prevailing wage, including but not limited to: trucking, surveying and inspection work must be registered with the Department of Industrial Relations as a “public works contractor”. Those you fail to register and maintain their status as a public works contractor shall not be permitted to perform work on the project.

Copies of such records or documents shall be provided to City for audit at City Hall when it is Agreement with Propcon Corp./Exhibit D-Labor Compliance Page 3 Rev. 07-01-18
practical to do so. Otherwise, unless an alternative is mutually agreed upon, the records or documents shall be made available at Contractor’s address indicated for receipt of notices in this Agreement.

C. Enforcement

1. City shall withhold any portion of a payment; including the entire payment amount, until certified payroll forms and related documentation are properly submitted, reviewed and found to be in full compliance. In the event that certified payroll forms do not comply with the requirements of Labor Code Section 1720 et seq., City may continue to hold sufficient funds to cover estimated wages and penalties under the Agreement.

2. Based on State funding sources, this project may be subject to special labor compliance requirements of Proposition 84.

3. The City is not obligated to make any payment due to Contractor until Contractor has performed all of its obligations under these provisions. This provision means that City can withhold all or part of a payment to Contractor until all required documentation is submitted. Any payment by the City despite Contractor’s failure to fully perform its obligations under these provisions shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any other term or condition contained in this Agreement or a waiver of the right to withhold payment for any subsequent breach of this Addendum.

City or the California Department of Industrial Relations may impose penalties upon contractors and subcontractors for failure to comply with prevailing wage requirements.

These penalties are up to $200 per day per worker for each wage violation identified; $100 per day per worker for failure to provide the required paperwork and documentation requested within a 10-day window; and $25 per day per worker for any overtime violation.

REPORT TO COUNCIL

SUBJECT
Action on an Agreement with Baker Tilly US, LLP for Citywide Risk Assessment, Annual Work Plan, and Internal Audit Work

COUNCIL PILLAR
Enhance Community Engagement and Transparency

BACKGROUND
The City Auditor’s Office submits an annual audit work plan to the City Council for approval. The audit work plan is developed based on the results of a citywide risk assessment. The objective of the risk assessment is to identify departments, offices, areas, units, or processes that pose the greatest risk to the City and then align internal audit resources, where appropriate, to best help the City achieve its objectives in mitigating these risks. It also guides the City Auditor to prioritize the City’s potential audit subjects. The audit work plan does not, nor is it intended to, address or provide complete coverage of every City department, division, or system risks. However, over time, with the implementation of audit recommendations, it is expected that risks across City departments and systems will be sufficiently mitigated.

Due to limited staffing in the City Auditor’s Office and to assist with audit work under a “co-sourced” model, staff recommends engaging an outside consulting firm to assist in performing the citywide risk assessment and developing the annual audit work plan. It would be of great benefit to the City to have an experienced firm that has in-depth knowledge of internal auditing standards and requirements, years of experience in the field and sharing of best practices, and an understanding of audit approaches and risk-based auditing objectives. Additionally, this allows the City to practice a co- sourced, hybrid model where internal audit work can be outsourced or done in-house with assistance from a consultant.

DISCUSSION
Pursuant to City Code Section 2.105.330, a formal Request for Proposal (RFP) was conducted for this procurement, with the award recommendation based on “best value.” The factors considered in the award were quality and completeness of proposal, experience of firm and key personnel, approach and methodology in performing the work, and cost.

In 2021, the City published a RFP for a consultant to perform Citywide Risk Assessment, Annual Work Plan, and Internal Audit Work. Four proposals were received from the following firms:
· Baker Tilly US, LLP
· Eide Bailly LLP
· MGT of America Consulting, LLC
City of Santa Clara Printed on 3/4/2022Page 1 of 3
powered by Legistar™
22-74 Agenda Date: 3/8/2022
· Weaver and Tidwell, L.L.P.

The proposals were independently evaluated by a three-member evaluation team with representation from the Risk Manager and City Auditor’s Offices. The proposals were evaluated and ranked against the criteria published in the RFP. Baker Tilly US, LLP and Eide Bailly LLP were invited to oral interviews to demonstrate their knowledge and understanding of the City’s requirements and provide detailed information on how they would support the City Auditor’s Office.

Based on receiving the highest overall score, staff recommends award of contract to Baker Tilly US, LLP. Baker Tilly US, LLP’s proposal met or exceeded all the RFP requirements, and their proposal was rated superior in the following key areas:
· Baker Tilly US, LLP is one of the few comprehensive professional services firms in this field with a group dedicated to state and local governmental clients. They have performed hundreds of co-sourced and outsourced internal audit engagements to help a wide range of public sector organizations enhance internal controls, improve operations, and offer independent and objective insights into a variety of business and municipal functions. · Baker Tilly US, LLP offers the City deep subject-matter expertise in various audit areas, including accounting, forensic audit and internal investigations, operational auditing, information technology and information security auditing, contract compliance and cost recovery auditing, audit planning and other advisory services. · Baker Tilly, US LLP also has years of experience as internal auditor for many utility districts in the State of California and will be an effective subject matter expert for audit issues related to Silicon Valley Power.
· Baker Tilly US, LLP’s members are active participants in key industry organizations, including American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), the Association of Local Government Auditors (ALGA), and Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA).

The maximum compensation under the proposed agreement with Baker Tilly US, LLP is $446,750 for term of five years, which includes a not-to-exceed amount of $196,750 for the risk assessment and annual work plan and a not-to-exceed amount of $250,000 for internal audit work. Staff will prioritize the items from the work plan and consider if the work can be performed by internal audit staff, assigned to Baker Tilly US, LLP, or performed in a co-sourced model.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The action being considered does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378(a) as it has no potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.

FISCAL IMPACT
Funds for this contract is included in the FY 2021/22 Adopted Operating Budget. Funding in future years is subject to future appropriation by the City Council.

14. HOLD HARMLESS/INDEMNIFICATION & LIMITATION ON DAMAGES A. To the extent permitted by law, Contractor agrees to protect, defend, hold harmless and indemnify City, its City Council, commissions, officers, employees, volunteers and agents (each a “Covered Person”) from and against any third party claim, injury, liability, loss, cost, and/or expense or damage, including all reasonable costs and attorney’s fees in providing a defense to any such claim or other action, and whether sounding in law, contract, tort, or equity, to the extent such claim, injury, etc., arises from Contractor’s negligence, willful misconduct, or fraudulent acts or omissions in Contractor’s performance of the Services pursuant to this Agreement – including claims of any kind by Contractor’s employees or persons contracting with Contractor to perform any portion of the Scope of Services. However, the obligation to indemnify shall not apply if such liability is ultimately adjudicated to have arisen through the sole active negligence or sole willful misconduct of City; the obligation to defend is not similarly limited.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, City hereby releases
Contractor, its subsidiaries and their present or former partners, principals, employees, officers and agents from, and acknowledges that such parties shall not be required to indemnify City or any Covered Person against, any costs, fees, expenses, damages and liabilities (including attorneys’ fees and all defense costs) to the extent such costs arise solely as a result of the negligence, willful misconduct or fraudulent acts or omissions of City or any Covered Person. Furthermore, because of the importance of the Agreement with Baker Tilly US, LLP Page 6 of 22
Rev. 07-01-18
information that City provides to Contractor with respect to Contractor’s ability to perform the Services, City hereby releases Contractor and its present and former partners, principals, agents and employees from any liability, damages, fees, expenses and costs, including attorney's fees, incurred as a direct result of liability arising from any written information, including representations by management, provided by City, its personnel or agents, that is materially incomplete, inaccurate or not current.

B. Contractor’s obligation to protect, defend, indemnify, and hold harmless in full City and City’s employees, shall specifically extend to any and all employment-related claims of any type brought by employees, contractors, subcontractors or other agents of Contractor, against City (either alone, or jointly with Contractor), regardless of venue/jurisdiction in which the claim is brought and the manner of relief sought.

C. To the extent Contractor is obligated to provide health insurance coverage to its employees pursuant to the Affordable Care Act (“Act”) and/or any other similar federal or state law, Contractor warrants that it is meeting its obligations under the Act and will fully indemnify and hold harmless City for any penalties, fines, adverse rulings, or tax payments associated with Contractor’s responsibilities under the Act.

D. The contractual liability (including attorney’s fees and all other costs) of Contractor to City and its present or former partners, principals, agents or employees related to any dispute or claim for damages relating to the performance of Services under this Agreement shall not exceed the fees paid to Contractor for the portion of the work to which the claim relates, except to the extent finally determined to have resulted from the willful misconduct or fraudulent behavior of Contractor relating to such Services.

This limitation of liability is intended to apply to the full extent allowed by law, regardless of the grounds or nature of any claim asserted, including the negligence of either party. Additionally, in no event shall either party be liable to the other related to a contractual dispute over performance of Services, for any lost profits, lost business opportunity, lost data, consequential, special, incidental, exemplary or punitive damages, delays, interruptions or viruses arising out of or related to this Agreement even if the other party has been advised of the possibility of such damages. This limitation of liability shall not apply to third-party claims which are subject to Contractor’s indemnification requirements in Section 14(A) above.

E. Any legal proceedings arising from or in conjunction with the Services provided under this Agreement must be commenced within twenty-four (24) months after the performance of the Services for which the action is brought, without consideration as to the time of discovery of any claim or any other statutes of limitations or repose.

COUNCIL PILLAR
Deliver and Enhance High Quality Efficient Services and Infrastructure

BACKGROUND
Silicon Valley Power (SVP), the City of Santa Clara’s Electric Utility, owns significant assets requiring ongoing maintenance including three power plants in City limits, several remote assets, substations, as well as transmission and distribution lines throughout the City. Additionally, SVP is required to comply with safety and regulatory requirements including North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC), Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD).

In order to support the various maintenance and regulatory needs of the electric utility, SVP contracts with over one hundred contractors, consultants, and other vendors to provide services and products.

Most of the services referenced in this report are provided at SVP’s power generation facilities located in City of Santa Clara: (1) The main facility, the Donald Von Raesfeld Power Plant (DVR), is a 2x1 combined cycle power plant rated at 147 Megawatts of electrical power; (2) City of Santa Clara Cogeneration Plant (Cogen), is a cogeneration facility that utilizes two gas turbines for power generation. Waste heat from Cogen is collected to generate steam for supply to a paper mill. This facility is rated at 7 Megawatts; and (3) The Gianera Generating Station (Gianera), the City’s peaking generation facility, is rated at 49.5 Megawatts of electrical power.

During the last two years, SVP and the Purchasing Division of the Finance Department have been working closely together to perform solicitations pursuant to applicable provisions of City Code Section 2.105. During this time, over fifty solicitations have been completed using competitive processes including cooperative purchases, informal bids, formal bids, Request for Proposals (RFP), and Statements of Qualifications (SOQ). Several of these solicitations have resulted in multiple awards. In some cases, a master agreement is awarded with multiple contractors and a secondary informal bidding process takes place for specific scopes. In addition to issuing new solicitations, SVP and Purchasing took action to extend the term of over fifty agreements from three years to five years in order to maximize the value of the solicitation process.

SVP and Purchasing are continuing to work through a priority list of over fifty additional solicitations.

and reduces emergency procurement. There will be other items for Council consideration on upcoming agendas to maintain continuity of services.

DISCUSSION
A list of those proposed services follows:

Cooling Tower Sanitizing:

SVP uses a cooling tower system in order to ensure the DVR Power Plant can operate all of its equipment within its thermal limitations. For the safety of SVP’s staff and the public and to ensure compliance with DVR’s Waste Water Permit, the cooling tower must be kept clean and free of waterborne pathogens such as the legionella bacteria. SVP has this service performed annually as a part of regular scheduled maintenance at DVR. Cleaning the cooling tower provides the added benefit of improving DVR’s thermal efficiency which helps protect critical equipment at DVR, including turbines and generators. DVR cannot operate without a cooling tower.

The City currently has an agreement with Precept Environmental, Inc. (Precept) with a five-year term ending on March 16, 2022. Staff recommends that the Office of the City Manager is authorized to enter into an amendment to this agreement to extend the term through March 16, 2025 for an eight- year term with a maximum compensation not to exceed $280,000 (approximately $35,000 annually).

Staff will request a quote from the contractor annually.

Operated Crane, Rigger, and Related Services
SVP owns and operates many types of heavy equipment including transformers, turbines, generators, pumps and motors. SVP uses operated crane, rigger, and related services during maintenance and repair activities on this equipment including: removing large equipment such as turbines, loading or offloading equipment, and hoisting equipment. Examples requiring crane, rigging, and related services include maintenance and repair of: cooling tower, heat recovery steam generator, vertical pumps, and transformer replacements.

On March 28, 2017, after a competitive Request for Proposal (RFP) process, the City entered into an agreement with Art Alger, Inc. dba Peninsula Crane & Rigging (Peninsula Crane) to provide operated crane, rigger, and related services. Three companies responded to this RFP and Peninsula Crane was selected as the low bidder.

The agreement termed out on June 8, 2021; Council authorized the City Manager to execute an amendment to the agreement with Peninsula Crane to increase maximum compensation from $129,000 to $300,000 to include services at additional SVP facilities and additional routine and emergency services due to SVP’s expanded preventative maintenance program. At that time, staff anticipated issuing a Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) for these services in calendar year 2021.

Due to other priorities and staffing issues addressed above, this SOQ has not been issued. Staff recommends authorizing the Office of the City Manager to execute an amendment to the agreement with Peninsula Crane increasing the maximum compensation to $700,000 and extending the term for an additional three years through March 27, 2025.
