Report Submitted By: Travis Hickey Date of Report: July 13, 2023 Finance & Administrative Services

CONSENT AGENDA
Monthly Report on the Status of Debt Instruments Issued through the City of Santa Fe Springs Public Financing Authority (PFA)

BACKGROUND
The Santa Fe Springs Public Financing Authority (PFA) is a City entity that has periodically issued debt for the benefit of the Santa Fe Springs community. The following is a brief status report on the debt instruments currently outstanding that were issued through the PFA.

Consolidated Redevelopment Project 2006-A Tax Allocation Bonds Financing proceeds available for appropriation at 6/30/2023 None Outstanding principal at 6/30/2023 $37,857,128
Bond Repayment
The former Community Development Commission (CDC) issued a number of tax allocation bonds before it was dissolved by State law effective February 1, 2012 which are administered by the City acting as Successor Agency under the oversight of the appointed Oversight Board. The Successor Agency no longer receives tax increment. Instead, distributions from the Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund (RPTTF) are received based on approved obligations. It is anticipated that sufficient allocations from the RPTTF will continue to be made to the Successor Agency to meet ongoing debt service obligations.

Unspent Bond Proceeds
Under an approved Bond Expenditure Agreement, unspent bond proceeds of the former CDC in the amount of approximately $19 million were transferred to the City in July 2014.

The funds are to be spent in accordance with the original bond documents. The unspent proceeds continue to be a source of funding within the City’s capital improvement program (CIP).
2016 Bond Refunding
In July 2016, the Successor Agency issued its 2016 Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds, which paid off several bond issuances of the former CDC. The bonds were originally issued through the Public Financing Authority and included the 2001 Series A, 2002 Series A, 2003 Series A, the current interest portion of the 2006 Series A, and 2006 Series B bond issuances.

RECOMMENDATION
• Receive and file the report.

CONSENT AGENDA
Monthly Report on the Status of Debt Instruments Issued through the City of Santa Fe Springs Water Utility Authority (WUA)

BACKGROUND
The Santa Fe Springs Water Utility Authority (WUA) is a City entity that has issued debt for the benefit of the Santa Fe Springs community. The following is a brief status report on the debt instruments currently outstanding that were issued through the WUA.

Water Revenue Bonds, 2013
Financing proceeds available for appropriation at 6/30/2023 None Outstanding principal at 6/30/2023 $6,890,000
Water Revenue Bonds, 2018
Financing proceeds available for appropriation at 6/30/2023 None Outstanding principal at 6/30/2023 $610,000
In May 2013 the Water Utility Authority issued the 2013 Water Revenue Bonds in the amount of $6,890,000. The bonds refunded the existing 2003 Water Revenue Bonds (issued through the Public Financing Authority) and provided additional funds for water improvement projects in the amount of $2,134,339. The funds were restricted for use on water system improvements. In August 2013 the Water Utility Authority Board appropriated the proceeds for the Equipping Water Well No. 12 Project and all proceeds were since used on this project.

In January 2018 the Water Utility Authority issued the 2018 Water Revenue Bonds in the amount of $1,800,000. The bonds refunded the existing 2005 Water Revenue Bonds (issued through the Public Financing Authority). No additional funds were raised through the issuance of the 2018 Water Revenue Bonds.

The City budget includes sufficient appropriations and adequate revenues are expected to be collected to meet the debt service obligations associated with the 2013 and 2018 Water Revenue Bonds.

The WUA was formed in June of 2009. Water revenue bonds issued prior to this date were issued through the City of Santa Fe Springs Public Financing Authority.

CONSENT AGENDA
Status Update of Water-Related Capital Improvement Projects

BACKGROUND
This report is for informational purposes only. The following is a listing of current active water projects.

Water Utility SCADA Programming And Maintenance Update
The Water Utility’s Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) software and system components are vital in operating and monitoring the drinking water system pressure, imported water connections, and the City’s five underpass pump stations.

SCADA allows staff to remotely monitor and make changes to specific system parameters.

The Request for Proposal to bring in a qualified firm to assist the Water Utility Authority in meeting its normal SCADA operational and maintenance needs is currently advertised.

Water Well No. 2 Status Update
On July 20, 2021, the City Council approved awarding the contract to General Pump Company Inc. to assess Water Well No. 2. The contractor completed the initial assessment and has submitted to the City their final report, which confirmed one contaminant, and provided two scenarios for treatment.

The Request for Proposal for the engineering design of a temporary water treatment system for Water Well No. 2, to reduce the initial cost of bringing the water well back into service, is currently advertised.

Water Well No. 12 Status Update
Drilled and constructed in August of 2012, the water produced by Water Well No. 12 has not met State and Federal drinking water standards due to various contaminants.

The well has been evaluated several times over the last several years with no decision to implement treatment.

The Request for Proposal to assess Water Well No. 12 and prepare technical specifications to aid in the design of a treatment system is currently advertised.

CONSENT AGENDA
Second Reading and Adoption of Ordinance No. 1130 Amending Chapter 32 of Title III of the Santa Fe Springs Municipal Code relating to City Commissions and Committees

BACKGROUND
At the City Council meeting on June 20, 2023, Ordinance No. 1130 was introduced, amending Sections 32.33 and 32.34 of Chapter 32 of Title III of the Code of Santa Fe Springs relating to City Commissions and Committees. The attached draft ordinance amends the Santa Fe Springs Municipal Code Section 32.33 and 32.34 to allow an exception to appointments and the term for youth based commissions and committees.

Youth based committees and commissions are unique as appointments for these governing and advisory bodies traditionally occur at the beginning of the school year to allow members to serve full year terms. The draft ordinance revises rules for youth based commissions and committees to better align with the beginning and end of the traditional school year.

CONSENT AGENDA
Approval of Vending Machine Agreement between City of Santa Fe Springs and T&L Vending

BACKGROUND
As part of the Health & Wellness Initiative, staff partnered with Healthier 4 U Vending in 2016 to bring four vending machines to the City of Santa Fe Springs for staff and visitors’ enjoyment. These vending machines offer healthier snack and drink alternatives. All the machines dispense a variety of snacks and drinks and are equipped to accept cash, coins, and credit/debit cards.

Once the vending machines were installed, the owners entered into a Location Agreement with the Department of Community Services and agreed to pay 5% flat gross profit quarterly. The machines were operated by Joseph Welch of Better 4 You Vending; however, in 2023, he transferred over the vending machines to T&L Vending due to his transition out of the vending business. T&L Vending has subsequently added a fifth vending machine to City facilities.

The machines are at the following locations:
• Activity Center (3)
• Gus Velasco Neighborhood Center (1)
• Town Center Hall (1)

FISCAL IMPACT
The vendor pays the City pay 5% flat gross profit quarterly. These monies are used to support health & wellness-related programs and services. Since 2016, the City has collected approximately $3,845.

CONSENT AGENDA
Approval of Use Agreement for Athletic Fields and Facilities with Orange County Flag Football Academy

BACKGROUND
Youth sports are a critical starting point in a person’s lifelong journey toward an active and healthy lifestyle. Studies have demonstrated that children and teenagers who engage with sports not only grow up more physically active and confident, but also gain physical and mental health benefits that follow them throughout their lives. It is vital for municipalities to support providers of youth sports programs, specifically, sports organizations that have an “Everyone Plays” philosophy and governing bodies.

These organizations play an important role in fostering youth’s interest in athletics, and in youth becoming contributing members of society. They provide basic understanding of certain sports through practice and games entirely.

This would be the first year that the City enters into an agreement for a youth sports organization to operate its flag football program. Under this agreement, the Orange County Flag Football Academy (organization) will operate the City’s flag football program. The organization will be provided field space at the Santa Fe Springs Athletic Fields to operate the program during the months of August through December of 2023, and will be provided a storage closet for storage of equipment. The organization will procure all equipment, supplies, and officials/scorekeeper services to operate the program. Additionally, the organization will facilitate registration and pay the City 30% of the revenue, after material fees are accounted, generate practice and game schedules, and communicate with all coaches and parents throughout the season.

It is the City’s intention to enter into a one (1) year agreement with this organization, with an optional extension of one (1) additional year.

City staff and the leadership of both organizations met in May and June of 2023 and collaborated on the terms outlined in the agreements.

RECOMMENDATIONS
• Approve the Use Agreement for Athletic Fields and Facilities with Orange County Flag Football Academy;
• Authorize the Mayor to execute and sign the Use Agreement for Athletic Fields and Facilities with Orange County Flag Football Academy, DBA Matt Leinart Flag Football.

Report Submitted By: Maricela Balderas/Gus Hernandez Date of Report: July 14, 2023 Community Services Department
• ORGANIZATION agrees to pay the CITY 30% of registration fees collected, less material fees, for each participant through the ORGANIZATIONS’ registration platform. The 30% fee (less material fee) is to be paid to the CITY no later than 4 weeks after the commencement of the season. • ORGANIZATION agrees to setup all fields with any equipment necessary to conduct a flag football league.
• For use of a facility outside of the agreed upon periods of use or another City facility not identified in the Use Agreement, the request must be made at least two weeks in advance to the Parks & Recreation Services Division to allow for staffing, subject to facility availability. The ORGANIZATION would be responsible for staffing fees at a rate of $30 per hour, in addition to other direct costs.

FISCAL IMPACT
In accordance to the Use Agreement, the organization would contribute 30% of the registration fees, after material fees are paid. The City estimates that at registration cost of $150 per participant, approximately $35 would go toward material fees. Based on the 30%, at 75 participants, staff estimates that the organization would pay the City $2,587 for the season (4 months). Under similar agreements, other youth sports partner organizations pay the City $2,000 for 8 months of priority usage.

Additionally, under this agreement, the City would be saving on the following:

Description Total
Staff (5 hours per week x 10 weeks x 4 staff) $6,000

Page 4 of 15 ends

the requirements set forth herein, ORGANIZATION agrees to amend, supplement or endorse the existing coverage to do so.

B. ORGANIZATION acknowledges that the insurance coverage and policy limits set forth in this section constitute the minimum amount of coverage required ($2 million).

D. Insurance procured pursuant to these requirements shall be written by insurers that are admitted carriers in the state of California and with an A.M. Best’s rating of A- or better and a minimum financial size VII, and shall comply with the following:

1. ORGANIZATION agrees to have its insurer endorse the third party general liability coverage required herein to include as additional insured CITY, its officials, employees and agents, using standard ISO endorsement No. CG 2010 with an edition prior to 1992 or similarly worded endorsement. ORGANIZATION also agrees to require all contractors, and subcontractors to do likewise.

2. No liability insurance coverage provided to comply with this AGREEMENT shall prohibit ORGANIZATION, or ORGANIZATION‘s employees, or agents, from waiving the right of subrogation prior to a loss. ORGANIZATION agrees to waive subrogation rights against CITY regardless of the applicability of any insurance proceeds, and to require all contractors and subcontractors to do likewise.

3. All insurance coverage and limits provided by Contractor and available or applicable to this AGREEMENT are intended to apply to the full extent of the policies. Nothing contained in this AGREEMENT or any other agreement relating to CITY or its operations limits the application of such insurance coverage.

4. None of the coverage required herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been first submitted to CITY and approved of in writing.

5. No liability policy shall contain any provision or definition that would serve to eliminate so-called “third party action over” claims, including any exclusion for bodily injury to an employee of the insured or of any contractor or subcontractor.

Page 5 of 15 ends

6. All coverage types and limits required are subject to approval, modification and additional requirements by CITY, as the need arises.

7. Proof of compliance with these insurance requirements, consisting of certificates of insurance evidencing all of the coverage required and an additional insured endorsement to ORGANIZATION’s general liability policy, shall be delivered to CITY at or prior to the execution of this AGREEMENT.

8. Certificate(s) are to reflect that the insurer will provide 30 days notice to CITY of any cancellation of coverage.

To the extent CITY agrees to any deductible or self-insured retention under any policy required under this AGREEMENT to which CITY is named as an additional insured, ORGANIZATION shall be required to modify the policy to permit CITY to satisfy the deductible or selfinsured retention in the event ORGANIZATION is unable or unwilling to do so as a means to ensure CITY can avail itself to the coverage provided under each policy.

Page 6 of 15 ends

12.CITY reserves the right at any time during the term of the contract to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving ORGANIZATION ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to ORGANIZATION, CITY will negotiate additional compensation proportional to the increased benefit to CITY.

13.For purposes of applying insurance coverage only, this AGREEMENT will be deemed to have been executed immediately upon any party hereto taking any steps that can be deemed to be in furtherance of or towards performance of this AGREEMENT.

14.ORGANIZATION acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of CITY to inform ORGANIZATION of non-compliance with any insurance requirement in no way imposes any additional obligations on CITY nor does it waive any rights hereunder in this or any other regard.

15.ORGANIZATION will renew the required coverage annually as long as CITY, or its employees or agents face an exposure from operations of any type pursuant to this AGREEMENT. This obligation applies whether or not the AGREEMENT is canceled or terminated for any reason. Termination of this obligation is not effective until CITY executes a written statement to that effect.

16.ORGANIZATION shall provide proof that policies of insurance required herein expiring during the term of this AGREEMENT have been renewed or replaced with other policies providing at least the same coverage and upon the same terms and conditions herein.

Page 7 of 15 ends

requirements. There shall be no recourse against CITY for payment of premiums or other amounts with respect thereto.

CONSENT AGENDA
Fire Station Bay Doors Replacement – Authorization to Advertise

BACKGROUND
Fire Station 1, located at 11300 Greenstone Ave, has eight (8) roll-up style bay doors that have exceeded their service life. These doors were installed when the station was built in 1972. The door frames and supporting hardware have been stressed from daily usage over the past 51 years to the point that the doors are requiring nearly monthly repair. Unfortunately, parts are no longer available, so major repairs require custom built panels or retrofitting of newer style panels available on the market today. The customization of panels comes at a repair cost that is unsustainable. The bay doors have also warped and twisted to the point that they do not always open as they should. The partial opening of a door could cause damage to fire apparatus as they are pulling out of the station and would prevent the response to an emergency. Any contact with fire apparatus and a bay door could cost a substantial amount of money and force the apparatus to be unavailable for use until the proper repairs have been made.

Fire Station 3, located at 15517 Carmenita Road, has three (3) roll-up style bay doors that have exceeded their service life as well. These doors were installed when the station was built in 1963. Similar to Station 1, the door frames and supporting hardware have been stressed from daily usage. In recent years, the front door has sustained major damage that has formed a crack down the center of the door. This door has been reinforced with structural steel to prevent failure or collapse. However, the door is now heavy and causing door openers to fail at a faster rate. Because of this, the need for premature replacement of door openers is an additional repair and maintenance cost. Also similar to station 1, parts are no longer available for these doors, so major repairs require custom built panels or retrofitting of newer style panels available on the market today. The customization of panels comes at a repair cost that is unsustainable.

The scope of work would include the removal of all doors, track, and associated equipment. All bays would receive new painted light weight industrial roll up doors, tracks, springs, anchors, and openers. The scope also includes proper disposal of all debris.

RECOMMENDATION
• Approve the scope of work.
• Authorize the Department of Fire-Rescue to advertise for door replacement bids.

The Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) State of California is currently in full implementation of Senate Bill 854 for new public works projects. The public works reforms (SB 854) were signed into law on June 20, 2014. The reforms made several significant changes to the administration and enforcement of prevailing wage requirements by the Department of Industrial Relations (DIR). SB 854 established a public works contractor registration program to replace prior Compliance Monitoring Unit (CMU) and Labor Compliance Program (LCP) requirements for bond-funded and other specified public works projects. The fees collected through the program established by SB 854 are used to fund DIR’s public works activities. Contractors and Subcontractors must comply with DIR registration requirements as specified in Labor Code 1725.5, 1771.1(a), 1771.1, 1771.4. Additional information is available on DIR’s Public Works webpage (www.dir.ca.gov), with resources that include a webinar, presentation slides and frequently asked questions regarding SB 854. Special attention is called out to Page B-6 of Instruction to Bidders regarding Wage Scale.

Insurance certificates and endorsements must be approved by the City’s Risk Manager prior to commencement of performance.

The City reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies at any time.

Duration of coverage. Consultant shall procure and maintain for the duration of the Agreement insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damages to property, which may arise from or in connection with the performance of the Services hereunder by Consultant, or Consultant’s agents, representatives, employees or subconsultants.

Primary/noncontributing. Coverage provided by Consultant shall be primary and any insurance or self-insurance procured or maintained by the City shall not be required to contribute with it. The limits of insurance required herein may be satisfied by a combination of primary and umbrella or excess insurance. Any umbrella or excess insurance shall contain or be endorsed to contain a provision that such coverage shall also apply on a primary and non-contributory basis for the benefit of the City before the City’s own insurance or self-insurance shall be called upon to protect it as a named insured.

The City’s rights of enforcement. In the event any policy of insurance required under this Agreement does not comply with these specifications or is canceled and not replaced, the City has the right but not the duty to obtain the insurance it deems necessary and any premium paid by the City will be promptly reimbursed by Consultant or the City will withhold amounts sufficient to pay premium from Consultant payments. In the alternative, the City may immediately terminate this Agreement.

Acceptable insurers.

Waiver of subrogation. All insurance coverage maintained or procured pursuant to this Agreement shall be endorsed to waive subrogation against the City, its elected or appointed officers, agents, officials, employees and volunteers or shall specifically allow Consultant or others providing insurance evidence in compliance with these specifications to waive their right of recovery prior to a loss. Consultant hereby waives its own right of recovery against the City, and shall require similar written express waivers and insurance clauses from each of its subconsultants.

Enforcement of Agreement provisions (non estoppel). Consultant acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of the City to inform Consultant of non-compliance with any requirement imposes no additional obligations on the City nor does it waive any rights hereunder.

Requirements not limiting. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this Agreement are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits or other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any insurance. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not intended by any party or insured to be all inclusive, or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a waiver of any type.

Notice of cancellation. Consultant agrees to oblige its insurance agent or broker and insurers to provide to the City with a thirty (30) day notice of cancellation (except for nonpayment for which a ten (10) day notice is required) or nonrenewal of coverage for each required coverage.

Additional insured status. General liability policies shall provide or be endorsed to provide that the City and its officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers shall be additional insureds under such policies. This provision shall also apply to any excess/umbrella liability policies.

Prohibition of undisclosed coverage limitations. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been first submitted to the City and approved of in writing.

Separation of insureds. A severability of interests provision must apply for all additional insureds ensuring that Consultant’s insurance shall apply separately to each insured against whom claim is made or suit is brought, except with respect to the insurer’s limits of liability. The policy(ies) shall not contain any cross-liability exclusions.

Pass through clause. Consultant agrees to ensure that its subconsultants, subcontractors, and any other party involved with the Services who is brought onto or involved in the Services by Consultant, provide the same minimum insurance coverage and endorsements required of Consultant. Consultant agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section. Consultant agrees that upon request, all agreements with consultants, subconsultants, and others engaged in the Services will be submitted to the City for review.

The City’s right to revise specifications. The City reserves the right at any time during the term of the Agreement to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving Consultant ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to Consultant, City and Consultant may renegotiate Consultant’s compensation or come to some other agreement to address the additional cost.

Self-insured retentions. Any self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by the City. The City reserves the right to require that self-insured retentions be eliminated, lowered, or replaced by a deductible. Self-insurance will not be considered to comply with these specifications unless approved by the City.

Timely notice of claims. Consultant shall give the City prompt and timely notice of claims made or suits instituted that arise out of or result from Consultant’s performance under this Agreement, and that involve or may involve coverage under any of the required liability policies.

Additional insurance. Consultant shall also procure and maintain, at its own cost and expense, any additional kinds of insurance, which in its own judgment may be necessary for its proper protection and prosecution of the Services. 2023-07 Fire Station - Apparatus Bay Doors Replacement

CONSENT AGENDA
City Hall Roof Replacement – Award of Contract

BACKGROUND
The City Hall Roof has sustained a substantial amount of damage due to exposure from weather elements causing the deterioration of roof material and creating numerous leaks into the facility. The City Hall roof has exceeded its service life and requires replacement. The scope of work consists of the complete removal of the existing built-up roofing systems (approximately 23,350 square feet), installation of a specified TREMCO (or equal) roofing system with appurtenances including any subroof plywood replacement as needed, installation of new roof ladders, replacement of all deteriorated drain covers and the repair of lobby skylight.

In an effort to minimize the impact on City Hall patrons, City Council and staff, the contractor will construct the project in three phases. All of the work must be completed in each phase before proceeding to the next phase. All hot moping will be performed on the Fridays City Hall is closed and/or Saturdays/Sundays. The contractor’s activities will be confined to the hours between 7:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday and 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. The contractor will also furnish/install mobile Air Conditioning units and fans in the City Hall Chambers/offices throughout the phases of the project. The above mentioned conditions imposed on the contractor has increased the overall construction cost.

Bids were opened on June 28, 2023, and a total of three bids were received. City staff reviewed the proposals and determined that all bid proposals comply with the project specifications. The low bidder for the project was Best Contracting Services, Inc., of Gardena, California, with a bid totaling $1,512,816.00.

(2) It is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this article to fully occupy the field of public policy relating to the prompt payment of local governments’ outstanding receipts. The Legislature finds and declares that all government officials, including those in local government, must set a standard of prompt payment that any business in the private sector which may contract for services should look towards for guidance.

CONSENT AGENDA
On-Call Transportation Services for Bussing Services with A&D – Contract Renewal

BACKGROUND
On February 13, 2020, the City Council approved the On-call Transportation Services agreement with A&D Transportation L.P. (A&D) to provide on-call transportation bussing services. The services included staff augmentation and charter services. The Agreement expired on February 13, 2023. We are seeking authorization to enter into another three-year (3) agreement with A&D, effective July 19, 2023, through June 30, 2026.

With the recent approval of an additional full-time bus driver, we anticipate using fewer staff augmentation services. However, we feel it is prudent to have an on-call transportation service in case of unforeseen future events.

Staff requests that the City Council approve a three-year agreement with a cost not to exceed $150,000 for the total three-year term. A&D has provided transportation services to the City for the past 20 years and is familiar with the City's high standard of service provided to residents. Additionally, they are familiar with the City routes, programs, and residents.

LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney’s office has reviewed the On-call Transportation Services Agreement.

FISCAL IMPACT
The cost associated with the agreement will be paid using Local Return funds and will have no impact on the General Fund or Fiscal Year 2023/24 Public Works Budget.

Primary/noncontributing. Coverage provided by Consultant shall be primary and any insurance or self-insurance procured or maintained by the City shall not be required to contribute with it. The limits of insurance required herein may be satisfied by a combination of primary and umbrella or excess insurance. Any umbrella or excess insurance shall contain or be endorsed to contain a provision that such coverage shall also apply on a primary and non-contributory basis for the benefit of the City before the City’s own insurance or self-insurance shall be called upon to protect it as a named insured.

The City’s rights of enforcement. In the event any policy of insurance required under this Agreement does not comply with these specifications or is canceled and not replaced, the City has the right but not the duty to obtain the insurance it deems necessary and any premium paid by the City will be promptly reimbursed by Consultant or the City will withhold amounts sufficient to pay premium from Consultant payments. In the alternative, the City may immediately terminate this Agreement.

Acceptable insurers. All insurance policies shall be issued by an insurance company currently authorized by the Insurance Commissioner to transact business of insurance or is on the List of Approved Surplus Line Insurers in the State of California, with an assigned policyholders’ Rating of A- (or higher) and Financial Size Category Class VI (or larger) in accordance with the latest edition of Best’s Key Rating Guide, unless otherwise approved by the City’s Risk Manager.

Enforcement of Agreement provisions (non estoppel). Consultant acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of the City to inform Consultant of non-compliance with any requirement imposes no additional obligations on the City nor does it waive any rights hereunder.

Requirements not limiting. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this Agreement are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits or other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any insurance. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not intended by any party or insured to be all inclusive, or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a waiver of any type.

Notice of cancellation. Consultant agrees to oblige its insurance agent or broker and insurers to provide to the City with a thirty (30) day notice of cancellation (except for nonpayment for which a ten (10) day notice is required) or nonrenewal of coverage for each required coverage.

Additional insured status. General liability policies shall provide or be endorsed to provide that the City and its officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers shall be additional insureds under such policies. This provision shall also apply to any excess/umbrella liability policies.

Prohibition of undisclosed coverage limitations. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been first submitted to the City and approved of in writing.

Separation of insureds. A severability of interests provision must apply for all additional insureds ensuring that Consultant’s insurance shall apply separately to each insured against whom claim is made or suit is brought, except with respect to the insurer’s limits of liability. The policy(ies) shall not contain any cross-liability exclusions.

Pass through clause. Consultant agrees to ensure that its subconsultants, subcontractors, and any other party involved with the Services who is brought onto or involved in the Services by Consultant, provide the same minimum insurance coverage and endorsements required of Consultant. Consultant agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section. Consultant agrees that upon request, all agreements with consultants, subconsultants, and others engaged in the Services will be submitted to the City for review.

The City’s right to revise specifications. The City reserves the right at any time during the term of the Agreement to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving Consultant ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to Consultant, City and Consultant may renegotiate Consultant’s compensation or come to some other agreement to address the additional cost.

Self-insured retentions. Any self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by the City. The City reserves the right to require that self-insured retentions be eliminated, lowered, or replaced by a deductible. Self-insurance will not be considered to comply with these specifications unless approved by the City.

Timely notice of claims. Consultant shall give the City prompt and timely notice of claims made or suits instituted that arise out of or result from Consultant’s performance under this Agreement, and that involve or may involve coverage under any of the required liability policies.

Additional insurance. Consultant shall also procure and maintain, at its own cost and expense, any additional kinds of insurance, which in its own judgment may be necessary for its proper protection and prosecution of the Services.

CONSENT AGENDA
City of Irwindale Agreement for Traffic Signal Maintenance Services

BACKGROUND
The City of Santa Fe Springs has been providing traffic signal maintenance services to the City of Irwindale since October 1995. There was an agreement modification in 2014, to define the scope of work, as well as an update to the number of traffic signals, and flashing beacons. Currently the City of Irwindale has twenty-four (24) signalized intersections at various locations that are 100% within Irwindale’s jurisdiction. Irwindale also has two (2) yellow flashing beacons.

There was a five-year agreement extension in 2014 that has expired. Staff recommends approving the attached agreement to continue the Traffic Signal Maintenance Services. The agreement term will continue subject to a 90 day written notice of termination by either City of Irwindale or City of Santa Fe Springs.

The scope of work remains unchanged and the monthly charges remain the same, as Santa Fe Springs will continue to provide routine maintenance to the traffic signals and flashing beacons and extraordinary maintenance of the street lights, in-pavement lighting, and radar feedback signs.

LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney’s office has reviewed the traffic signal agreement.

FISCAL IMPACT
This agreement with City of Irwindale generates at least $50,000 yearly in additional revenue.
