employees or Subconsultants (or any agency or individual that Consultant shall bear the legal liability thereof) in the performance of professional services under this Agreement. (b) Indemnity for other than professional liability
Other than in the performance of professional services and to the full extent permitted by law, Consultant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless City, and any and all of its employees, officials and agents from and against any liability (including liability for claims, suits, actions, arbitration proceedings, administrative proceedings, regulatory proceedings, losses, expenses or costs of any kind, whether actual, alleged or threatened, including legal counsel fees and costs, court costs, interest, defense costs, and expert witness fees), where the same arise out of, are a consequence of, or are in any way attributable to, in whole or in part, the performance of this Agreement by Consultant or by any individual or agency for which Consultant is legally liable, including but not limited to officers, agents, employees or subcontractors of Consultant.

Attention: Jon Hughes
15. ASSIGNMENT
The Consultant shall not assign the performance of this Agreement, nor any part thereof, nor any monies due hereunder, without prior written consent of the City.
Before retaining or contracting with any subconsultant for any services under this Agreement, Consultant shall provide City with the identity of the proposed subconsultant, a October 7, 2024 Council Packet Page 30
copy of the proposed written contract between Consultant and such subconsultant which shall include and indemnity provision similar to the one provided herein and identifying City as an indemnified party, or an incorporation of the indemnity provision provided herein, and proof that such proposed subconsultant carries insurance at least equal to that required by this Agreement or obtain a written waiver from the City for such insurance.
Notwithstanding Consultant’s use of any subconsultant, Consultant shall be responsible to the City for the performance of its subconstultant as it would be if Consultant had performed the Services itself. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed to create a contractual relationship between the City and any subconsultant employed by Consultant. Consultant shall be solely responsible for payments to any subconsultants.
Consultant will have no liability for any design defects in design documents prepared by anyone other than Master Architect, regardless of whether Consultant reviews or comments on such design documents. The architect of record, engineer(s) of record, and other authors of the design documents will be responsible for the accuracy, completeness, coordination, suitability, and compliance with laws of the design documents. Consultant is not constructing the Project and is not responsible for construction defects, regardless of whether Consultant engages any testing and inspection services or has personnel on-site during construction; the DBE and its subcontractors are responsible for construction defects.
Unless City, in a separate writing, provides that Consultant has authority to bind City in City's dealings with third parties, including the DBE, Consultant does not have such authority; rather, Consultant will provide advice ("Advice") to City on such matters, but City will make the ultimate decision as to how to act or respond. Consequently, any Advice provided by Consultant to City regarding how City should act or respond (e.g., analyzing, reviewing, and advising on bids or change order requests) is merely Consultant's professional opinion and City is ultimately responsible to such third parties for City's actions and responses.
Consultant's responsibility with respect to Advice is to provide Advice in accordance with Consultant's standard of care, and if Consultant complies with these obligations, then City will indemnify, defend, and hold Consultant harmless from all third-party claims, losses, damages, costs, and expenses arising from the Advice and City actions.
16. GOVERNING LAW/VENUE/ATTORNEYS’ FEES
The City and Consultant understand and agree that the laws of the State of California shall govern the rights, obligations, duties, and liabilities of the parties to this Agreement and also govern the interpretation of this Agreement. Any litigation concerning this Agreement shall take place in the municipal, superior, or federal district court in Fresno County, California.
If any action at law or suit in equity is brought to enforce or interpret the provisions of this Agreement, or arising out of or relating to the Services provided by Consultant under this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys' fees and all related costs, including costs of expert witnesses and consultants, as well as costs on appeal, in addition to any other relief to which it may be entitled.

remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by such party of any of all of such other rights, powers or remedies.

1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. PURPOSE
The City of Selma, representing the City Council of the City of Selma, is seeking qualified providers of Construction Management Services with Master Architect and Engineering services, herein referred to as “Consultant” services, for the New Selma Fire Station Design-Build project.
This Request for Proposals establishes the requirements, terms and conditions governing the selection of Consultant services for this Design-Build project to the City of Selma. All submittals shall be in the form and format as specified within the PROPOSAL FORMAT section.
1.2. PROJECT LOCATION
The proposed project site is a 4.2 acre lot at the Northwest corner of Thompson and Huntsman. (Refer to Appendix C for proposed location).
1.3. BACKGROUND
The City of Selma currently has two Fire Stations: Station 1 is an approximately 7,000 square foot facility built in the 1950s; Station 2 is approximately 3,500 square feet and was built in 1957. The fire administration building is a modular structure located at a separate location. The Fire Department’s services and space requirements over the years have outpaced the size and amenities of their existing fire stations and administrative building. Although minor remodeling did mitigate some issues in the past, further expansion and retrofitting of the existing building is not feasible for the City’s current and future needs.
1.4. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The City plans to construct an approximately 10,000 square foot, one-story, Fire Station, to include administrative offices and support spaces, secure staff parking and public/visitor parking. The new building will be designed based upon an updated space needs assessment, building program, and site analysis developed by the Consultant selected from this RFP. The new building will include three fire truck bays, office space, living quarters, training rooms, conference rooms, break rooms, locker and changing rooms, restrooms with showers, public lobby, secured parking for Fire Department employee’s vehicles and Department vehicles with clear definition between staff and public access areas and an emergency generator.
The intent is to build a user-friendly, accessible, safe and healthy environment for the City of Selma Fire Department staff and the public. Security will be an important part of this new building. The building’s design and construction shall meet California Title 24 Codes, State Storm Water Requirements, and City Building Standards. The City of Selma and City Fire will have jurisdiction and oversight for review, approval, permitting and final occupancy for the facility. The City parcel is located within the City of Selma’s city limits. The consultant will be required to make presentations to stakeholders including community members during the design process.
The building’s design shall incorporate the latest required green building codes, State Storm Water Requirements, and energy and water saving features. The consultant’s project bridging documents and specifications shall require of the Design-Build entity that the new building comply with City Standards.

NOTICE: The data on pages of this response identified by an asterisk (*) contain technical or financial information, which are trade secrets, or information for which disclosure would result in substantial injury to the proposer’s competitive position.

Technical Services
As Owner’s Representatives and Construction
Managers, Griffin approaches each project with
the perspective of an owner and the insight of a
developer. Based on our blend of comprehensive
experience in managing and developing projects,
we have the unique ability to offer each client a
complete ‘menu’ of professional services tailored
to the specific requirements of their individual
project.
Like an owner, we approach every project with
a viewpoint that it is our own money, schedule,
and facility to be planned, designed, constructed,
and utilized. With an in-depth understanding
of technical issues faced by a contractor, we
have extensive field experience that guides us
with decision making processes out on the field.
Together, with these two key components, Griffin
provides construction management services which
ensure a successful project delivery of the highest
quality.
With the above in mind, Griffin has developed an
approach to assist the City in delivering a project
which meets its budget and schedule expectations
while also adhering to the assumption in the
Project Understanding.
P H A S E 1 : P R O G R A M
V E R I F I C A T I O N &
CONCEPTUAL DESIGN
In Phase 1, we begin with the establishment of
crucial communication channels, clarification
of roles, and alignment of project objectives.
These protocols are critical and are particularly
key to a successful Program and Construction
Management. We will establish a clear line of
communication between the team members who
will be utilized during the process. Working closely
with City, Griffin will identify the proper channels
for all communication between the design staff
and, later, field (contractors and inspectors) to
establish seamless communication for the duration
of any project(s). This phase is pivotal in laying the
groundwork for the successful realization of the
project. The following depicts the tasks outlined as
part of Phase 1 services.
Task 1.1 - Project Initiation
We kickoff this task by crafting a detailed Work
Plan and Project Schedule, outlining the project's
trajectory, key milestones, and responsibilities.
A Project Kick-off meeting serves as our official
start, where key stakeholders will be integrated
to introduce themselves, define their roles, and
collectively set the project's tone and direction.
We plan to discuss the roadmap which will
undergo refinement through collaborative review
sessions with the City, ensuring alignment with
expectations.. With the implementation of our
robust document control system, which we
will define later on in the approach, we ensure
seamless document sharing and management
throughout the project's lifecycle.

Requirements
Our Team will concurrently begin reviewing
all regulatory codes and standards, where we
navigate with precision to ensure compliance
with all pertinent requirements. From Title 24
code stipulations to local ordinances, we will
review with accuracy and may even call for
a meeting with the City’s Building Official to
ensure interpretation of code based on some
of the opportunities Fire Stations allow for. We
also understand that the City will be leading the
environmental analysis work and our Team will
support by providing concept designs below in
aide of pursuing a mitigated negative declaration
(MND).
Task 1.5 - Conceptual Design
Drawing inspiration from site characteristics
and stakeholder input as well as agreed upon
programmatic parameters, we will craft two
distinct design options, each embodying a
unique vision for the project's future. Through
collaboration with the Steering Committee, we will
refine these concepts into a final iteration, ready
to be presented to the City accompanied by a
detailed schedule and budget developed for review
and comment.
Ultimately, our work in Phase 1 will result in the
following deliverables:
• Draft & final building program

SELECTION
As we progress into Phase 3, our focus shifts
towards supporting the City in the process of
selecting a Design-Build Entity (DBE) to execute
the final design and construction of the Project.
This two-step process encompasses rigorous
evaluation and consultation, ensuring the
engagement of the most qualified firm.
Task 3.1 – DBE Prequalification / Request
for Statement of Qualifications
In tandem with the development of the bridging
documents, we highly recommend that the City
undertakes a detailed prequalification process for
Design-Build Contractors (DBEs). The selection of a
proficient DBE is paramount to the success of the
project, contingent upon careful assessment and
execution. To this end, Griffin Structures advocates
for utilizing the Department of Industrial Relations
questionnaire template as a framework for this
endeavor. Collaborating closely with City staff
and the Design Team, we will establish specific
criteria encompassing overall revenue thresholds,
bonding capacity, safety ratings (EMR), minimum
experience requirements, and potentially,
prequalification of specialty subcontractors.
Moreover, we will proactively identify and
extend invitations to reputable Contractors
with proven expertise in constructing similar
facilities, leveraging recommendations from local
municipalities.

CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS
Griffin will assume a pivotal role in providing
design oversight and technical support to the City
subsequent to the awarding of a Design-Build
contract to the chosen DBE, spanning the final
design development and construction documents
phase of the Project.
Task 4.1 – Meeting Participation
We will begin this phase with a DBE Kick-Off/PreDesign Meeting, convened in collaboration with the City and the selected DBE. This session as well as
following design sessions will serve as a forum for
issuing formal directives to the DBE, signaling the
commencement of design development activities.
Additionally, potential revisions, enhancements, or
design intricacies are deliberated upon, ensuring
alignment with project objectives. These meetings
will track the design's progress, address critical
issues and challenges to the design, and involve a
robust analysis to ensure the project maintains its
original intent.
Task 4.2 – DBE Design Submittal Reviews
Griffin will review and evaluate all design progress,
construction document drawings, and specification
submittals furnished by the DBE. At pivotal design
milestones, including Design Development and
successive stages of construction document
completion, Griffin will deliver a comprehensive
written evaluation to the City in the form of a
constructability review. These reviews scrutinize
adherence to Bridging Documents, performance
criteria, and outline specifications, ensuring
consistency and compliance.
One of the major advantages of selecting our
Team, is that we hire professionals who have
sat on all sides of the table. Our staff have
backgrounds in architecture, engineering, and
general contracting and are able to review design
packages thoroughly for their (a) attention to
detail, (b) completeness based on the phase
of work, and (c) constructability as it relates to
practicality, coordination and anticipation of issues
that will turn into change orders later.
As such, we have a three-step approach to
constructability review we assign to each design
phase as noted below.
Preparation and Research. Griffin begins each
constructability review with a high-level first
pass of the design package for each building and
related as-builts. It’s critical we understand the
entire work scope and how each piece relates to
the overall project, prior to our detailed review.
After this review period, we often visit the site to
mentally absorb the boundary conditions, existing
structures, utility conditions, topography, and other
key issues that need to be integrated into a design
package.
Review and Investigation. The next step in our
constructability review process includes an indepth review of the drawings. As mentioned earlier, Griffin utilizes its team of construction
management experts with extensive backgrounds
in construction, design / engineering, and
development. Our seasoned staff reviews each
drawing in detail and works through the Griffin
checklist to ensure a comprehensive evaluation has
been completed for each project.

The checklist reviews materials, integration with
other systems / trades, cost-benefit evaluations,
and detail about each design element. We
will also review project documents for missing
information, ambiguous details, conflicts, and
potential confusions. These are logged and
returned, with suggestions for corrections, to
the Design Team to integrate into the project
documents. We apply the following standards to
our review:
• Ensure the construction plans are clear and
understandable
• Verify the drawings match specifications
• Be vigilant in recognizing missing information
Once the review is completed, we find it important
to provide a final check of our own work to ensure
comments and intentions are clear and articulate.
The deliverable is provided to the City and the
Design Team for review, consideration, and
integration into the design package.
Implementation Review. Occasionally it may be
difficult to determine whether comments have
been incorporated into the design package.
However, applying our Bluebeam technology, we
can quickly compare and determine differences in
the design sets to ensure City approved comments
have been integrated into the package. The
ultimate goal is to protect the City from costly
oversights that could have been prevented in the
pre-construction phase.
Additionally, and outside of constructability
review services, Griffin has extensive experience in
utilizing nearly every type of construction method
on the market including wood-frame, steel-frame,
concrete tilt-up, concrete masonry units (CMU),
pre-engineered metal building (PEMB), to even
modular shipping containers. We will review the
options with the City based on cost, schedule,
maintenance, and lifecycle expectancy and make a
recommendation.
From a value engineering perspective, we will play
a pivotal role in evaluating proposals submitted
by the DBE, providing informed recommendations
to the City for consideration. This collaborative
approach maximizes the benefits inherent in
the Design-Build process, harnessing the DBE's
creativity and flexibility to optimize project
outcomes.
To summarize, Griffin will provide the following
deliverables in Phase 4:
• Attendance at Kick-Off/Pre-Design meeting and
provision of comprehensive meeting minutes.
• Review and meticulous written evaluation of
DBE submittals across key project milestones,
including Design Development and successive
stages of construction document completion.
• Evaluation and recommendation on value
engineering and added value proposals
submitted by the DBE, fostering collaborative
decision-making to optimize project outcomes.

PHASE 5: CONSTRUCTION
PHASE SUPPORT
Phase 5 will transition into management and
administration of the DBE as it moves into the
construction phase until the successful completion
of the project. Throughout the construction phase,
we will provide on-site Construction Management
and will serve as the City's vigilant eyes and ears
on the ground, monitoring construction activities
to uphold compliance with the Construction
Documents and prescribed quality standards. The
below outlines the specifics of the anticipated
tasks.
Task 5.1 – Construction Observation &
Project Site Management
A paramount priority entails maintaining a
diligent on-site presence for daily observation
and monitoring of construction work. Griffin
Construction Managers are inherently construction
inspectors. By utilizing our keen understanding
of all aspects of construction, our Construction
Manager will perform regular inspections of
all aspects of the project daily. We will review
material deliveries, material types, installation
methods, finished installations in comparison
to contract documents, and construction code
adherence.
Additionally, we will coordinate the timely
execution of all specialty inspections, including
geotechnical, building dept., special inspections,
and materials testing, to ensure the City receives
the highest level of quality and consistency
with the plans and specifications as well as all
standards and practices.
Griffin employs multiple forms of photography
and technology to enforce the quality of the
construction process. Accordingly, we will perform
the following:
• Record Existing Conditions. Before a DB
Contractor begins construction, we will perform
detailed video surveillance of the entire site
and the surrounding site to ensure there is
no damage to the existing infrastructure and
mitigate against any potential future claims.
• Daily Photography. Griffin will photograph the
progress of the job daily. This will serve as a
record of the project throughout the job and a
vehicle for resolving issues.
• Bluebeam technology. Griffin employs the
use of Bluebeam technology to facilitate the
communication of challenges in the field for
their quick resolution and documentation.
• BIM technology. Griffin has extensive experience
in the deployment and management of Building
Integration Modeling and can adequately
identify and resolve issues that are discovered
through this medium.
We will employ our Field Observation Report
weekly. Typically updated and presented at the
weekly meeting, we will track all issues, and
observations, identified by the CM and the project
team (DBE, City, operations staff, etc.) and follow
them on this log. The log will identify the issue,
the date it was observed, a photograph of the
issue, and a resolution description once the item
has been closed. In effect, this log serves as a
running punch list of all issues identified and
addresses these issues promptly.

a collaborative environment conducive to swift
decision-making and timely resolution of issues.
Task 5.3 – Construction Schedule & Budget
Management
Vigilant oversight of the construction schedule
and budget remains integral to our approach,
with our Team conducting regular assessments
and analyses to identify deviations and potential
risks. By providing informed recommendations and
conducting monthly earned value analyses, we will
empower the City to make data-driven decisions
to ensure the Project remains on track and within
budgetary constraints. As part of these efforts,
we break down this work into the following four
components:
DBE Schedule Oversight
One key aspect of this effort will be to ensure
the project schedule is maintained. To do so,
Griffin will oversee the DBE entity's production
of the comprehensive construction schedule that
incorporates all the elements above that occur
during construction and demonstrate a clear and
logical critical path. Our extensive construction
experience will determine if the DBE has a good
understanding of the project that is both realistic
and achievable.
Griffin will then provide strict communication
protocols to ensure answers to questions, reviews
of submittals, submissions for deferred permits,
and requests for inspections are all process timely
and effectively.
Corrective measures may need to be implemented
should the DBE fall behind. As described above,
the City and project suffer when the DBE fails.
Therefore, Griffin will employ extensive field
experience and construction understanding to
provide solutions to schedule failures to maintain
the project's overall objectives and protect the
City's investment.
By these methods, Griffin will maintain the project
schedule and expedite productivity as needed.
DBE Financial Controls
Another critical aspect to the success of any
project, specifically Design-Build projects, is the
effective management of financial controls. Griffin
has extensive experience in financial controls and
is uniquely qualified in employing those controls,
specifically in the execution of Design-Build
projects.
Griffin is keenly aware of the importance
of maintaining financial controls over the
invoicing process. Accordingly, we will establish
a systematic approach to reviewing invoices
specifically by executing the following:
• Establishing a very detailed Schedule of Values
that breaks out both labor and materials for
each trade and spec section.
• Review all invoices for consistency with
improvements installed in the field.
• Investigate the DBE’s payment policies to
subcontractors to avoid issues of non-payment.
• Evaluate subcontractor performance
to anticipate potential bankruptcies of
subcontractors who are not adequately solvent
to perform on the job.

DBE Change Controls
Construction projects are inherently iterative
operations. With multiple efforts and coordination
of tasks and efforts underway concurrently,
managing the discovery and correct identification
of changes is particularly challenging. Accordingly,
we will review and address all possible changes in
work in the following manner:
• The first component to correctly addressing
possible changes in scope and cost is to
identify what is and is not a real change.
We will perform a comprehensive analysis of
the issue at hand and determine if a change
has occurred. Key to this is the detailed
understanding of the Bridging Documents and
an understanding of the initial program that
was provided to the DBE. We will provide
insight during the Bridging Documents' final
development and a firm interpretation of those
documents in their interpretation regarding our
analysis of the proposed change to preserve the
City's interests prudent budgetary constraints.
The key to this analysis is our enhanced
understanding of contracts and scope to
determine if the issue is already covered under
the existing scope.
• If a change is in fact necessary, we will then
seek to execute this change in a manner
that results in a no-cost solution to the City.
This may involve proposing materials and/or
methods that are comparable in scope to the
original intent, thus allowing for solutions that
do not compromise quality, schedule, or cost.
• If such an option is not possible, or if
unforeseen conditions materialize that result in
a real change to the project's cost, Griffin will
then perform a detailed analysis of the best
form of execution. This may take the form of a
hard estimate for the proposed change or if a
T&M execution is in the project's best interest.
Another option is to utilize a T&M/Not-toExceed method, which allows for the execution of a proposed change while putting a ceiling on
the final costs of the change.
• Finally, any change that is officially recognized
will undergo a detailed examination of costs,
including but not limited to: materials back
up, labor analysis, labor rate analysis, detailed
subcontractor back-up, time impacts, and a
unit cost comparison based on industry trends.
Together, with these tools, we will be able to
provide financial protection to the Client to
avoid production challenges, protect the City's
resources against overpayment, and ensure proper
accounting of the project's health.

Claims Mitigation
Of particular importance to the health of a project
is claims management. The most effective way to
mitigate claims is to avoid them altogether. This
seems obvious but is, in fact, the most challenging
aspect of managing a successful project. To
prevent claims, there are a few fundamental
principles that we follow:
• Clarity = Enforceability: If the direction is clear,
the drawings and specifications consistent,
and the direction to the field in line with these
documents, then there is little to no chance of a
future claim.
• When everyone succeeds, the City succeeds:
This is a critical concept that many
professionals do not grasp or pursue. Claims
arising out of a need to mitigate against risk
or loss. Avoiding risk for all parties lowers the
likelihood of claims.
• Commitment to Value: Despite the efforts
above, sometimes things go wrong. A submittal
gets submitted and approved incorrectly. A
material specification is discontinued, and its
replacement is three times the cost. Drawings
do not identify the total scope of work. In
instances like these, a clear commitment to
value rules the process. In each of the instances
listed above, Griffin can navigate and resolve
these issues in a manner that provides value
to the City (i.e., little or no cost increase),
continued progress (timely decisions that do not
delay the schedule), and creative architectural
solutions (maintaining the overall quality of
the finished product). By having a balanced
understanding of all the aspects of value to the
project, Griffin can mitigate the conditions that
often result in claims.
• Clear Documentation and Legal Understanding:
Despite all the above, sometimes claims
do arise. The critical defense against these
occurrences is clear documentation and a
comprehensive understanding of the contract
and contract code. Griffin Structures employs
elite construction management professionals
with an extensive knowledge of contracts and
contract code and employs a sophisticated and
comprehensive document management system
that ensures claims can be mitigated when
unavoidable. A more detailed description of
our document management system is provided
below.
Task 5.4 – Project File Management
Efficient document management lies at the
heart of effective project administration, and
we maintain a robust web-based construction
management platform called Submittal Exchange.
This platform allows us to track all project
document controls, including the management
of correspondence, documents, submittal/
review approvals, RFIs, daily reports, punch lists,
drawings, Change Management process, and
countless other activities. This provides our team
with the ability to significantly improve workflow
with its additional project management features,
including scheduling, asset management, and
planning.
By utilizing Submittal Exchange, Griffin Structures
will establish a hub to save and manage all
project documents. Utilizing this system as a single
source of document control will provide clear
and consistent communication to the field. This
ensures comprehensive document coordination and
protection against claims while also accelerating
the construction schedule with streamlined
communications. This could ultimately save the
entire project significant costs by eliminating
printing and shipping and improving operational
efficiency.

Task 5.5 - DBE Submittal Reviews
Furthermore, we will review and assess all DBE
submittals, payment requests, and compliance
with prevailing wage reporting regulations. By
evaluating each submission and providing timely
feedback, we will maintain accountability and
adherence to contractual obligations, thereby
safeguarding the City's interests.
Task 5.6 - Master Architect Construction
Phase Responsibilities
In tandem with the Team’s efforts, LPA will
diligently review and evaluate DBE-generated
documents, ensuring alignment with project
design criteria and objectives. By participating in
construction progress meetings and conducting
periodic observations, LPA will provide valuable
insights and recommendations to uphold the
integrity and quality of the Project's execution.
Through commitment and diligent oversight,
we endeavor to uphold the City's interests and
ensure the successful execution of the construction
phase, thereby bringing the Project to fruition
in accordance with established standards and
objectives.
P H A S E 6 : P R O J E C T C L O S E O U T
In this final phase of work, our focus shifts
towards evaluating the overall performance of the
Project, ensuring that all aspects are reviewed,
and any outstanding details are addressed with
accuracy guaranteeing a seamless transition for
the end-user. We tend to break delineate our
efforts into the following objectives:
Punchlist Coordination & Documentation
Efficiently coordinating, documenting, and tracking
the completion of Punchlist items is essential
to achieving the Project's desired outcome. By
addressing these items, we ensure that any
lingering deficiencies are promptly rectified
to meet the highest standards of quality and
satisfaction. Specifically, Griffin will employ a Field Observation Log during construction to identify
quality issues observed by the project team on an
ongoing basis. This will serve to function as an
ongoing pre-punch list and help minimize issues
discovered at final punch walks. Griffin will also
oversee the following punch walks to confirm
corrective action is resolved. Once completed,
Griffin will issue a comprehensive punch list for
completion by the DB Contractor. Griffin will
oversee the completion of these items and ensure
that all deficiencies and corrections are completed
to the City's satisfaction.
Management of Warranty Work
As the Project nears completion, effective
management of warranty work becomes
imperative to safeguarding the City’s interests and
ensuring long-term satisfaction. By overseeing
and coordinating warranty-related activities,
we uphold our commitment to delivering a final
product that exceeds expectations and withstands
the test of time.

Final Project Cost Evaluation
Thoroughly documenting and evaluating the final
project costs is crucial for providing the client with
comprehensive insights into the financial aspects
of the Project. By conducting a cost evaluation,
we enable informed decision-making and ensure
transparency throughout the Project's lifecycle.
Review of DBE Closeout Documentation
Reviewing the DBE's close-out documentation
and As-Builts/Record Drawings are essential for
verifying compliance with established standards
and specifications. Through detailed scrutiny, we
confirm the accuracy and completeness of all
submitted documentation, providing the City with
the assurance that all contractual obligations have
been fulfilled to the highest degree. Integral to
our cloud-based document management system,
Submittal Exchange will assemble all guarantees,
certifications, affidavits, leases, easement deed,
operating and maintenance manuals, warranties,
and any other closeout documents. This system
will provide a complete digital file for all
documents for future use, as well as maintain a
cloud-based file for future use.
Delivery of Final Documents
Delivering the final documents in both hard copy
and electronic formats for City archives ensures
seamless access to critical project information
for future reference and maintenance purposes.
By providing comprehensive documentation, we
empower the City to effectively manage and
maintain the Project's integrity over its lifecycle.
As we navigate through completion of the project,
our unwavering commitment to excellence in
project delivery remains consistent, ensuring
that every aspect of the Project is reviewed and
finalized to the highest standards of quality
and satisfaction. Through diligent coordination
and attention to detail, we pave the way for a
successful completion of the Project.
CONCLUSION
We take pride in providing unparalleled
professional program management services. As
described above, Griffin will serve as the eyes and
ears of the City. Our mantra is ‘no surprises.’ We
achieve that by proper management (avoiding the
issues in the first place), and clear and concise
documentation (for defense and resolution of
unavoidable issues). Accordingly, Griffin will
provide comprehensive program management
services to plan, design, and successfully deliver a
facility the City which will be a key cornerstone of
the community it serves.

Griffin Structures Fee Proposal
Selma Fire Station 4
April 24, 2024
Griffin Structures’ Fee Proposal is based on all reasonable costs necessary to perform Construction Management and Master Architectural Services for the City of Selma’s New Fire Station 3 Facility. For these requisite services Griffin Structures proposes the following Not-to-Exceed Fee based on hourly rates:
Construction Management Services: $ 1,010,600
Master Architectural Services: $ 399,875
Reimbursable Expenses: $ 70,000
Total $ 1,480,475
Additive Alternate 1: Addition of Part-time Project Engineer During Construction
$ 360,000
Deductive Alternate 1: PT FM in lieu of Fulltime CM - $ 260,000 Deductive Alternate 2: Reduce CA scope for Master Architect - $ 126,250 Note we have included a number of additive / deductive alternates to the above for the City’s consideration. As requested in the RFP, we have included a PT Project Engineer as an additive alternate to assist during the construction / closeout phases. Additionally, we have included a number of deductive alternatives which includes (1) an option for reducing our base proposal from a full-time CM to parttime CM during construction / closeout phases and (2) a reduction of master architect support during the construction phase. Both of these deductive options are recommended by our firm given our experience with this product type, delivery method and reputation in the marketplace.
All proposed hourly rates are fully burdened and include overhead profit, taxes, and benefits. Hourly rates are escalated by the CPI annually and the fee is reflective of the annual increases. The hours identified for each individual employee and task are estimates only and are not to be construed as not to exceed hours for any individual task, phase, or time period. We reserve the right to reallocate hours between staff members and tasks, in consultation with the City’s Project Manager, in order to accomplish the overall objectives and requirements of the project.
Services are based on an assumption of a 28-month schedule assuming 14 months for construction and closeout. Any extension of the schedule may result in added fee, in good faith negotiation with the City.

Any umbrella or excess insurance shall contain or be endorsed to contain a provision that such coverage shall also apply on a primary and nonOctober 7, 2024 Council Packet Page 96 contributory basis for the benefit of City before the City’s own insurance or self-insurance shall be called upon to protect it as a named insured.
City’s rights of enforcement. In the event any policy of insurance required under this Agreement does not comply with these specifications or is canceled and not replaced, City has the right but not the duty to obtain the insurance it deems necessary and any premium paid by City will be promptly reimbursed by Consultant, or City will withhold amounts sufficient to pay premium from Consultant payments.

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

Additional insured status. General liability policies shall provide or be endorsed to provide that City and its officers, officials and employees shall be additional insureds under such policies. This provision shall also apply to any excess 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 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 October 7, 2024 Council Packet Page 97
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.

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, subcontractors, and others engaged in the project will be submitted to City for review.
City’s right to revise specifications. The City reserves the right at any time during the term of the contract to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the Consultant ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to the Consultant, the City and Consultant may renegotiate Consultant’s compensation.
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.

CITY MANAGER’S/STAFF’S REPORT
CITY COUNCIL MEETING: October 7, 2024__________________ ITEM NO: C.
SUBJECT: Consideration of a Resolution Approving Software Agreement Amendment with ImageTrend for Fire Data Collection
BACKGROUND: Since 2000, the City of Selma has used Zoll RMS for data collection and mandated NFIRS (National Fire Incident Reporting System) reporting for the Selma Fire Department’s fire responses.
DISCUSSION: The City of Selma Fire division currently uses Zoll RMS for its data collection and mandated reporting on fire responses. The City of Selma EMS Division utilizes ImageTrend through a partnership with American Ambulance of Fresno. In 2022, the City entered into a Piggyback Agreement with ImageTrend based on the terms first established between American Ambulance (“System Administrator”) and ImageTrend. ImageTrend has been developed to pair with multiple CAD (computer-aided dispatch) providers including Peraton, which is currently used by Fresno County Emergency Command Center (ECC).
This pairing ability allows for accurate information to be uploaded to incident reports from the ECC. This automated feature ensures the upmost accuracy when completing reports. It is critical for the Selma Fire Department to have access to accurate data that can be utilized for strategic planning, community risk reduction and emergency planning. This software will bring data analytics and reporting capabilities that will greatly enhance the fire department’s delivery of services. As part of the transition to ImageTrend reporting, historical records will be migrated and/or maintained in accordance with records retention policies.
ImageTrend also allows for seamless transfer of data on PCR’s (Patient Care Reports) which are utilized by all neighboring EMS agencies. This feature ensures accurate information is shared amongst first responders on medical emergencies. ImageTrend also offers a multitude of reports and reporting features to aid in compliance with the mandated quarterly reporting structure of the National Fire Incident Reporting System.
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the agreement with ImageTrend to provide data collection and reporting services for the Selma Fire Department. This will not impact data collection/reporting for ambulance services. That service will still be provided through the partnership with American Ambulance of Fresno. This transition has been planned and budgeted for in the 2024/2025 fiscal year budget.
FISCAL IMPACT: Implementation and first-year expenses are estimated at $13,225.00. $25,000 was included in the 24/25 FY Budget for this program. The remainder of funds will be utilized for bridging CAD software developed by Peraton.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that Council approve by resolution the Software Agreement Amendment with ImageTrend for Fire Data Collection, and authorize the City Manager or designee to execute all associated documents.

CITY MANAGER’S/STAFF’S REPORT
CITY COUNCIL MEETING: October 7, 2024___________________ ITEM NO: D.
SUBJECT: Consideration of a Resolution Approving Proposal and Agreement with Peraton Inc. for the Installation of the ImageTrend interface on the Peraton Altaris Computer Aided Dispatch system at CALFIRE FKU Emergency Command Center
BACKGROUND: Since 2000, the City of Selma has used Zoll RMS for data collection and mandated NFIRS (National Fire Incident Reporting System) reporting for the Selma Fire Department’s fire responses.
DISCUSSION: The City of Selma Fire division currently uses Zoll RMS for its data collection and mandated reporting on fire responses. The City of Selma EMS Division utilizes ImageTrend through a partnership with American Ambulance of Fresno. In 2022, The City entered into a Piggyback Agreement with ImageTrend based on the terms first established between American Ambulance (“System Administrator”) and ImageTrend. ImageTrend has been developed to pair with multiple CAD (computer-aided dispatch) providers including Peraton, which is currently used by Fresno County Emergency Command Center (ECC).

This software will bring data analytics and reporting capabilities that will greatly enhance the fire department’s delivery of services. As part of the transition to ImageTrend reporting, historical records will be migrated and/or maintained in accordance with records retention policies.
Peraton is a CAD software company utilized by the Fresno County ECC. This proposal includes the scope necessary to install and implement the interface between the ECC and the Selma Fire Department’s ImageTrend Fire reporting software. Without this interface the distribution of incident data will revert back to manual entry, which is both an inefficient use of staff time as well as an approach that is prone to user error. The scope of this proposal includes installation and two years of maintenance.
FISCAL IMPACT: Implementation and two years of maintenance are estimated at $11,153.00. $25,000 was included in the 24/25 FY for this program. The remainder of funds will be utilized for ImageTrend reporting software.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that Council approve by resolution the Proposal and Agreement with Peraton Inc. for the installation of the ImageTrend interface on the Peraton Altaris Computer Aided Dispatch system at CALFIRE Fresno Kings Unit Emergency Command Center, and authorize the City Manager or designee to execute all associated documents.

CITY MANAGER’S/STAFF’S REPORT
COUNCIL MEETING DATE: October 7, 2024
__________________________________________________________________________ ITEM NO: E.
SUBJECT: Consideration of Resolution Approving and Authorizing the City Manager, or Designee to Execute an Agreement with the Fresno County Probation Department for a Police Officer Assignment to the Fresno County Probation and Parole Adult Compliance Team (ACT)
______________________________________________________________________________ BACKGROUND: The Selma Police Department has assigned a Police Officer to the Fresno County Probation and Parole Adult Compliance Team, (ACT). It is the function of this compliance team to ensure those individuals being released from a Correctional Detention Facility are monitored to ensure these individuals are in adherence to the terms of their Probation and or Parole release terms. The Selma Police Department has had a Police Officer assigned to this Team historically since 2017.
By dedicating a Police Officer to this compliance team over the last several years, the Selma Police Department has benefited greatly from this Agreement. On many occasions the Police Department has identified a wanted individual on Probation and or Parole and is assigned to the team for compliance. As resources are limited at times, we have been able to obtain assistance from the team with the apprehension of identified individuals in these instances.
Additionally, the Adult Compliance Team regularly conducts compliance of Probation and Parolees residing within our jurisdiction which aids in crime prevention and does not use additional resources form our normal operations.
DISCUSSION: With the increased early release of individuals from both County and State Correctional facilities, it will be paramount to ensure these individuals returning to our communities are monitored to ensure compliance and their future success. This Agreement would ensure the City of Selma Police Department has representation on this Adult Compliance Team to ensure the compliance of those individuals returning to Selma.
FISCAL IMPACT: As part of this Agreement the Fresno County Probation Department shall compensate the City of Selma Police Department for an amount equal to the cost of One (1) City of Selma Police Officer for assignment to the Adult Compliance Team, not to exceed the maximum amount payable under this Agreement of $189,938. With this, there is no anticipated negative fiscal impact forecasted.
______________________________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDATION: Approve Resolution Authorizing the City Manager, or his Designee to Execute an Agreement for City of Selma Police Department to Contract with the Fresno County Probation Department for a Police Officer Assignment to the Fresno County Probation and Parole Adult Compliance Team (ACT).

1 SERVICE AGREEMENT
This Service Agreement (“Agreement”) is dated ___________________ and is between City of Selma, a municipal corporation, whose address is 2055 Third Street Selma, CA 93662 (“Contractor”), and the County of Fresno, a political subdivision of the State of California (“County”).
Recitals
A. Under Assembly Bill 109, the Public Safety Realignment Act (AB 109), signed into law on April 5, 2011, the State of California has realigned responsibilities for probation, post release community supervision (PRCS), and mandatory supervised release of offenders. The State of California has provided funding to County for the purpose of implementing AB 109 services.
B. The County requires an additional layer of offender supervision to ensure offender accountability, surveillance, and supervision through mobile, intensive, and evidence-based practices leading to enhanced public safety and offender compliance. Subsequently, the AB 109 Implementation Plan of 2011, collectively referred to as the “AB 109 Plan,” includes formation of the Adult Compliance Team (ACT), to create a cooperative unit capable of addressing public safety concerns and issues facing local law enforcement in Fresno County. The ACT is comprised of representatives of the Fresno County Sheriff’s Department, the Fresno County District Attorney’s Office, the Fresno County Probation Department, and officers of the Clovis, Fresno, Kerman, Kingsburg, Reedley, Sanger, and Selma Police Departments.
C. The AB 109 Plan, including its updates, was developed by the Fresno County Community Corrections Partnership (CCP), and approved by the Fresno County Board of Supervisors. The AB 109 Plan was approved by the CCP on August 19, 2011 and approved by the Board on September 13, 2011.
D. The Contractor desires to continue to be a member of the ACT, and the County desires to maintain the Contractor as an ACT member, and to continue to implement AB 109 services.
The parties therefore agree as follows:

I. PURPOSE
This Operating Agreement (OA) replaces and supersedes the prior operating agreement, dated November 2022. After the date this OA is executed by all parties, the prior operating agreement shall be of no further force and effect. This document establishes the purpose of the Adult Compliance Team (ACT) as a joint and cooperative effort. Additionally, it formalizes relationships between participating agencies for policy and planning in order to create a cooperative unit capable of addressing the public safety concerns and issues facing local law enforcement in Fresno County regarding probation supervision, Post Release Community Supervision (PRCS), and Mandatory Supervision (MS) that may occur dueto the passage of the Criminal Justice Realignment Act (AB 109) effective October 1, 2011.
II. MISSION
The mission of ACT is to provide an additional layer of offender supervision to ensure offender accountability, surveillance, and supervision through mobile, intensive and evidencebased practices leading to enhanced public safety and offender compliance.
Ill. GOALS
A. To reduce the occurrence of new criminal acts by targeting offenders on probation, PRCS, and MS, with intensive surveillance by peace officers dedicated to enforcement of conditions ofrelease.
B. To identify supervised offenders who are not meeting their conditions of release in order to ensure compliance.
C. To mitigate the need for custodial sanctions through appropriate early interventions.
D. To document trends in the realignment population and respond efficiently to emerging trends that adversely affect public safety.
E. To gather, collect, and provide information and direction regarding the probation supervision, PRCS, MS and realignment populations for all law enforcement agencies in the County of Fresno and act as the point of contact for dissemination of offender information to law enforcement.
F. To respond rapidly to emergency situations with knowledge and information about the offenders.
G. To provide other public safety responses including searches as authorized by the terms of release and warrant services, as needed.
October 7, 2024 Council Packet Page 173
IV.GENERAL OPERATIONAL STRATEGIES
Intensive supervision based on offender assessment, combined with evidence-based practices, forms the cornerstone of the County of Fresno AB 109 supervision model. This intensive approach is seen in the formation of ACT; an interagency public safety alliance with local law enforcement agencies and county justice partners that provides an additional level of offender accountability and public safety. The "strike team" concept is used to describe peace officers under ACT, dedicated to particular enforcement and public safety purposes, with an immediate capacity to take action in regard to offenders under probation supervision, PRCS, and MS by the Fresno County Probation Department.
To this end, the participating agencies developed these operational guidelines and procedures concerning the formation of the ACT. The participating agencies agree jointly and separately to abide by these terms and provisions set forth throughout the formation of the joint operation.
V. ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE
The ACT will be co-located at theFresno County Probation Department. The Probation Department is the commanding agency of ACT and will maintain responsibility for the administrative direction, objective, and mission of the ACT.
The ACT will consist of sworn officers from the following agencies: two (2) deputy probation officers from the Fresno County Probation Department; one (1) sergeant and two (2) deputies from the Fresno County Sheriff’s Office; two (2) senior district attorney investigators from the Fresno County District Attorney’s Office; one (1) sergeant and two (2) police officers from the Fresno Police Department; one (1) police officer and one (1) crime specialist from the Clovis Police Department; one (1) police officer from the Selma Police Department; one (1) police officer from the Reedley Police Department; one (1) police officer from the Kerman Police Department; one (1) police officer from the Kingsburg Police Department; and one (1) police officer from the Sanger Police Department. Dependent upon future funding, the size of ACT may fluctuate according to the number of officers and agencies.
A. Policy and Direction
Under the policy and planning direction of the Community Corrections Partnership (CCP), ACT will utilize an Advisory Sub-Committee of CCP.
B. ACT Advisory Sub-Committee of the CCP
Each law enforcement agency that assigns personnel to ACT may designate a member to the ACT Advisory Sub-Committee of the CCP. All law enforcement agencies operating within Fresno County with an interest in ACT are welcome to attend the meetings of the ACT Advisory Sub-Committee.
Appointments to andremoval from theACTAdvisory Sub-Committee and appointment of a Sub-Committee Chairperson will be made by the CCP Executive Committee.
October 7, 2024 Council Packet Page 174
C. Operations Commander
The Probation Assistant Deputy Chief is the Operations Commander and has overall responsibility for the operation of ACT. The Operations Commander implements direction to the team under the administrative direction of the Fresno County Probation Department's Realignment Division Deputy Chief. The Operations Commander will liaison with individual members of the ACT Advisory Sub-Committee and will attend meetings of the CCP as required.
D. Field Supervisor
The assigned Field Supervisor(s) will be the day-to-day operations supervisor(s) and responsible for overall coordination of tactical field operations. When ACT works as separate elements and both supervisors are working, each supervisor will be responsible for their assigned element. When only one supervisor is on duty, that supervisor will be responsible for the supervision of both elements.
E. Probation Department
All probation conditions and release compliance remain the responsibility of the AB 109 probation officer assigned to a specific offender. These conditions are predetermined before release from custody to probation, post release community supervision, or mandatory supervised release. The offenders will be under the supervision of their assigned probation officer or ACT probation officer.
VI. OPERATIONS

CITY MANAGER’S/STAFF’S REPORT
COUNCIL MEETING DATE: October 7, 2024
_________________________________________________________________________________ ITEM NO: F.
SUBJECT: Consideration of a Resolution Approving a Maintenance Agreement with Surveillance Integration to Provide Continued Support of the Surveillance Camera Program within the City of Selma
_________________________________________________________________________________ BACKGROUND: The City of Selma recognizes the importance of a surveillance system to monitor the Selma Police Department, City parks and facilities, and crucial high-traffic intersections in the city. As the Police Department continues to expand its city-wide surveillance camera project, it is critical to continue a maintenance program to ensure efficient operability.
Criminal investigations are complex, comprehensive, and in-depth, requiring Detectives and Officers to make sure they are gathering and memorializing all necessary statements and visual images to achieve a successful prosecution. The maintenance of our system will continue to be a force multiplier, allowing officers to search for offenders throughout the city and capture critical information associated with incidents, victims, witnesses, and suspect interviews.
DISCUSSION: The Selma Police Department is requesting to continue our maintenance agreement with Surveillance Integration which encompasses our current camera program of over one hundred cameras throughout the system. Surveillance Integration is a proven integrator who performed the original implementation, installation, and maintenance of the Selma Police Department’s Avigilon surveillance system. The Avigilon system is also used by Parlier, Orange Cove, and Sanger Police Departments. Since offenders from our neighboring cities also commit crimes in these surrounding communities, use of this system will facilitate collaboration during investigations. This agreement also entails a full-service protection plan.
FISCAL IMPACT: The cost for this annual maintenance agreement through Surveillance Integration, which covers approximately 125 cameras, is $64,600.00. This amount is budgeted for the current 24-25 Fiscal Year, Fund 295-2100-600-475 (Maintenance Agreements). ______________________________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Resolution approving a one-year maintenance agreement with Surveillance Integration for the City’s surveillance camera program. ______________________________________________________________________________ ___________/s/______________________ 09/26/2024___________________ Rudy Alcaraz, Chief of Police Date
