FEDERAL PREVAILING WAGE PAYMENT INFORMATION
All prime contractors and subcontractors are required to pay the higher if either the rates published in the Davis-Bacon Wage Determination issued by the U.S. Department of Labor (Federal) or the General Prevailing Wage Determination issued by the California Department of Industrial Relations (Date) to all laborers and mechanics and other workers on the project. The State wages can be obtained by contacting the Department of Industrial Relations, on-line at Director's General Prevailing Wage Determinations (ca.gov) or by contacting the Kern County Planning and Natural Resources Department – Community Development Division at (661) 862- 5050.

The latest modification of the Federal wages can be obtained on-line at SAM.gov | Search and completed, from the drop down menus, the appropriate State information (“California”), County information (“Kern”), type off project construction (“Building”, “Heavy”, “Highway”, or “Residential”), and WD [Wage Decision} Number (“CA20”). Then click on the “Search” Button.

You will need to remember that the federal wage “locks” on a certain stage of the procurement process so the latest modification available on-line may not apply to this specific project. If you go on-line to obtain Federal wages, please check with the Kern County Planning and Natural Resources Department – Community Development Division to see if you have the applicable wage decision for this specific project.

Immediately following is a copy of the project Davis Bacon Wage Determination (General Decision), which is the listing of the Federal wages. Unless modified prior to bid opening, this wage decision will apply to the project.

All contractors agree to comply with the latest applicable Davis-Bacon Wage Determination, as determined solely by County, regardless of what Davis Bacon Wage Determination is actually contained in the specifications. The successful contractor will be notified no later than the project preconstruction conference if the applicable wage decision is different than the one contained in this specification, or in any addendums issued prior to bid opening. All prospective contractors and subcontractors on this project should verify this Davis-Bacon Wage Determination contains an area labor classification and specified wage rate for each of the different trades that the contractor/subcontractor intends to use on this project. If a proper area classification and wage rate cannot be found for a trade that you, as prime contractor or subcontractor, intend to use on this project, please immediately contact the Kern County Planning and Natural Resources Department – Community Development Division (PLNR) at (661) 862-5050. PLNR will, on your behalf, contact the U.S Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the U.S. Department of Labor to ascertain what the proper federal area classification and wage rate is for any trades in question. 173

Prevailing wage payment requirements for Truck Drivers
AND for Self Employed Laborers and Mechanics
(“Working Subcontractors”) on HUD funded projects
February 6, 2002

1. The current State and Federal requirements regarding prevailing/Davis-Bacon wage payments to Truck Drivers on public works projects are as follows:

State of California Requirements:

Truck drivers hauling materials to or from a public works jobsite are subject to prevailing wages. The State of California Department of Industrial Relations, in their Coverage Letters PW#99-066 and PW#99-081, indicate that truck drivers are “workers employed by contractors or subcontractors in the execution of any contract for public work” and therefore “are deemed to be employed upon public work” and required to be paid prevailing wages. However, and at this time, it appears that this requirement does not apply to Truck Drivers who are merely dropping off materials from a commercial supplier.

Federal Requirements:

Under regulations that went into effect on January 19, 2001, (65 FR 80268, dated December 20, 2000) Truck Drivers employed by a construction contractor or subcontractor transporting materials to or from the site of work are covered by Davis-Bacon for the time spent on site that is more than “de minimis”, or more than the time it takes to pick up or drop off materials. For example, material delivery truck drivers who come on to the site of work for only a few minutes at a time merely to drop off construction materials are not covered by Davis-Bacon. All other truck drivers on the “site of work” are covered by Davis-Bacon. “Site of Work” is defined in the regulations as:
a.) The physical place or places where the building or work called for in the contract will remain; and any other site where a significant portion of the building or work is constructed, provided that such site is established specifically for the performance of the contract or project;
b) Except as provided in paragraph ‘c’ below, job headquarters, tool yards, batch plants, borrow pits, etc., are part of the site of work provided they are dedicated exclusively, or nearly so, to performance of the contract or project, and provided they are adjacent or virtually adjacent the site of work as defined in paragraph ‘a’ above; c) Not included in the site of work are permanent home offices, branch plant establishments, fabrication plants, tool yards, etc., of a contractor or subcontractor whose location and continuance in operation are determined wholly without regard to a particular Federal or federally assisted contract or project. In addition, borrow pits, job headquarters, tool yards, etc., of a commercial or material supplier, which are 175

established by a supplier of materials for the project before the opening of bids and not on the site of the work as stated in paragraph ‘a’ above, are not included in the site of work. Such permanent, previously established facilities are not part of the site of work, even where the operations for a period of time may be dedicated exclusively, or nearly so, to the performance of a contract.

Contractors are notified that they should follow
the more restrictive requirement noted above.

Other requirements of HUD also indicate that Truck Drivers who are working on the site of work, as defined above, and who are “Owner-Operators” must be reported on project payrolls that are prepared by the firm who hired them. These payrolls, which must be signed by both the owner-operator and by the contractor or broker who hired them, must also include the hourly wage rates paid to these owner - operators as well as the hours they worked on the project. Any individuals, including other Truck Drivers, who are working on the site of work (as defined above) and are employed by an OwnerOperator, are covered by Davis-Bacon. But also be aware: per State requirements, all Truck Drivers employed by contractors and subcontractors in the execution of any contract for public work (and who are not merely dropping off materials from a commercial supplier) are covered by State prevailing wage requirements.

Bid Submittal Requirements of Trucking Services:

Based on legal advice provided to the CD Program Department, the names of trucking firms who will be working on the project for the prime contractor (not a material supplier) must appear on the prime contractor’s List of Subcontractors as follows:

If the trucking services are provided by a firm using its own employees and who is getting paid an amount in excess of ½ of 1% of the prime contractor’s bid, they must be listed as a subcontractor.

If trucking services are to be provided solely by Owner-Operator Truck Drivers hired directly by the prime contractor, or through a brokerage arrangement, the Owner-Operator Truck Driver payroll information must be provided by the firm for whom services are being rendered, but these Owner-Operator Truck Drivers do not need to be listed as a subcontractor on the List of Subcontractors.

2. Per HUD Labor Relations Letter No. LR-96-01, the current requirements for payment of prevailing wages to self employed laborers and mechanics (a.k.a. “working subcontractors”) are as follows:

The payment of prevailing wage rates established by HUD provide that the wage protections afforded apply to laborers and mechanics employed on federally-assisted construction contracts regardless of any contractual relationship which may be alleged to exist between the contractor and such laborers and mechanics. Additionally, all 176

laborers and mechanics must be paid unconditionally and not less often than once per week. There is no exception to this protection for self-employed laborers or mechanics, including owners of businesses, sole-proprietors, partners, corporate officers, or others.
“Laborers and mechanics” may not certify to the payment of their own prevailing wages EXCEPT where the laborer or mechanic is the owner of a business working on the site of the work with his/her own crew.

Payrolls submitted reporting single or multiple owners certifying that they have paid to themselves the prevailing wage for their craft are unacceptable; rather, such laborers or mechanics must instead be carried on the certified payroll of the contractor or subcontractor (the “responsible employer”) for whom they are working and with whom they have executed a contract.

Whatever method of compensation computation is utilized, the amount of weekly compensation divided by the actual hours of work performed for that week must result in an “effective” hourly wage rate for that week that is not less than the prevailing hourly rate for the type of work involved. The name, work classification, actual hours of work, effective hourly wage rate, and wage payment of each self-employed laborer and mechanic must be reported and certified on the responsible employer’s weekly payroll.

More extensive guidance for the Federal prevailing wage requirements and compliance standards for self-employed laborers and mechanics (also referred to as “working subcontractors”) is detailed in HUD Labor Relations Letter No. LR-96-01, dated December 2, 1996 (copy attached). Additional information is also provided regarded HUD’s compliance and certification parameters for owner-operators of power equipment and truck drivers.

Preconstruction Conference

EXHIBIT “C”
A. The purpose of Form WH-347, Weekly Payroll Sheet, is to verify that all project employees are being paid weekly and correctly. The use of any other payroll form will be acceptable only if its format includes all the information needed to meet HUD requirements. All payrolls submitted must be originals, with “wet signatures” on the Statements of Compliance.

B. The Weekly Payroll Sheet is to be submitted to the County/Owner/Architect or Engineer once a week, each week, that work was done on this project.

VIII. Working Subcontractors
A. The payment of prevailing wage rates established by HUD provide that the wage protections afforded apply to laborers and mechanics employed on federally-assisted construction contracts regardless of any contractual relationship which may be alleged to exist between the contractor and such laborers and mechanics. Additionally, all laborers and mechanics must be paid unconditionally and not less often than once per week. There is no exception to this protection for self-employed laborers or mechanics, including owners of businesses, sole-proprietors, partners, corporate officers, or others.

B. “Laborers and mechanics” may not certify to the payment of their own prevailing wages EXCEPT where the laborer or mechanic is the owner of a business working on the site of the work with his/her own crew.

C. Payrolls submitted reporting singe or multiple owners certifying that they have paid to themselves the prevailing wage for their craft are unacceptable; rather, such laborers or mechanics must instead be carried on the certified payroll of the contractor or subcontractor (the “responsible employer”) for whom they are working and with whom 247

Preconstruction Conference

EXHIBIT “C”
they have executed a contract.

D. Whatever method of compensation computation is utilized, the amount of weekly compensation divided by the actual hours of work performed for that week must result in an “effective” hourly wage rate for that week that is not less than the prevailing hourly rate for the type of work involved. The name, work classification, actual hours of work, effective hourly wage rate, and wage payment of each self-employed laborer and mechanic must be reported and certified on the responsible employer’s weekly payroll.

E. More extensive guidance for the Federal prevailing wage requirements and compliance standards for self-employed laborers and mechanics (also referred to as “working subcontractors”) is detailed in Labor Relations Letter No. LR-96-01, dated December 2, 1996.

2. For the correct pay.

B. Random samples of each contractor/subcontractor(s) workforce will be interviewed throughout the course of the project.

D. Comparisons of interview forms with the Weekly Payroll Sheets and Prevailing Wage Decision will assure proper payment to project workforce.

E. Failure to resolve discrepancies within a reasonable period of time will cause future progress payments to be held up.

F. County/Owner/Architect or Engineer staff who administer the HUD-11 forms are hereby reminded that they are to indicate “None” in the Remarks sections of the form when there is nothing additional to report from the actual interview or the comparison of the HUD-11 form to the payroll and the project wage decision. The HUD-11 interviewer and payroll examiner are each to sign and date the form in the spaces provided when 248

APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM
ARTICLE 1 - COMPLIANCE REQUIRED

1.01 Contractor and Subcontractors shall comply with the requirements of California Labor Code §§1776, 1777.5, and 1777.6 concerning the employment of apprentices by Contractor or Subcontractors. Willful failure to comply may result in penalties, including loss of the right to Bid on or receive public works contracts.

ARTICLE 2 - CERTIFICATION OF APPROVAL

2.01 California Labor Code §1777.5, as amended, requires a Contractor or Subcontractor employing tradespersons in any apprenticeable occupation to apply to the joint apprenticeship committee nearest the site of a public works project and which administers the apprenticeship program in that trade for a certification of approval. The certificate shall also fix the ratio of apprentices to journeypersons that will be used in performance of the Contract. The ratio of work performed by apprentices to journeypersons in such cases shall not be less than one hour of apprentices work for every five hours of labor performed by journeypersons (the minimum ratio for the land surveyor classification shall not be less than one apprentice for each five journeypersons), except:

A. When unemployment for the previous three-month period in the area exceeds an average of 15 percent;
B. When the number of apprentices in training in the area exceeds a ratio of one to five; C. When a trade can show that it is replacing at least 1/30 of its membership through apprenticeship training on an annual basis state-wide or locally; or
D. Assignment of an apprentice to any work performed under a public works contract would create a condition which would jeopardize his or her life or the life, safety, or property of fellow employees or the public at large or if the specific task to which the apprentice is to be assigned is of such a nature that training cannot be provided by a journeyperson.

ARTICLE 3 - FUND CONTRIBUTIONS

3.01 Contractor is required to make contributions to funds established for administration of apprenticeship programs if Contractor employs registered apprentices or journeypersons in any apprenticeable trade on such contracts and if other contractors on the public works site are making such contributions.

ARTICLE 4 - APPRENTICESHIP STANDARDS

4.01 Information relative to apprenticeship standards, wage schedules, and other requirements may be obtained from the Director of the California Department of Industrial Relations, or from the Division of Apprenticeship Standards and its branch offices.

ARTICLE 5 – FEDERAL REQUIREMENTS

5.01 For this project, contractors employing apprentices must provide proof of apprenticeship status from the U. S. Department of Labor – Office of Apprenticeship. Copies of Apprenticeship Agreements are not accepted as proof of apprentice registration.

1.01 At or before the date specified in Document 00200 (Instructions to Bidders), Contractor, in order to protect the CITY OF SHAFTER (“Owner”) and its council/board members, officials, agents, officers, and employees against all claims and liability for death, injury, loss and damage as a result of Contractor’s actions in connection with the performance of Contractor’s obligations, as required in the Contract Documents, shall secure and maintain insurance as described below.

Contractor shall not perform any work under the Contract Documents until Contractor has obtained all insurance required under this section and the required certificates of insurance and all required endorsements have been filed with Owner or their authorized insurance representative. Receipt of evidence of insurance that does not comply with all applicable insurance requirements shall not constitute a waiver of the insurance requirements set forth herein. The required documents must be signed by the authorized representative of the insurance company shown on the certificate. Upon request, Contractor shall supply proof that such person is an authorized representative thereof, and is authorized to bind the named underwriter(s) and their company to the coverage, limits and termination provisions shown thereon. Contractor shall promptly deliver to Owner or their representative a certificate of insurance, and all required endorsements, with respect to each renewal policy, as necessary to demonstrate the maintenance of the required insurance coverage for the term specified herein. Such certificates and endorsements shall be delivered to Owner or their representative prior to the expiration date of any policy and bear a notation evidencing payment of the premium thereof if so requested.

Contractor shall immediately pay any deductibles and self-insured retentions under all required insurance policies upon the submission of any claim by Contractor or Owner as an additional insured.

A. Workers’ Compensation and Employers Liability Insurance Requirement -- In the event Contractor has employees who may perform any services pursuant to the Contract Documents, Contractor shall submit written proof that Contractor is insured against liability for workers’ compensation in accordance with the provisions of section 3700 of the California Labor Code.

I signing the Agreement, Contractor makes the following certification, required by section 1861 of the Labor Code:

I am aware of the provisions of section 3700 of the Labor Code which require every employer to be insured against liability for workers’ compensation or to undertake selfinsurance in accordance with the provisions of that code, and I will comply with such provisions before commencing the performance of the work pursuant to the Contract Documents.

Contractor shall require any sub-contractors to provide workers’ compensation for all of the subcontractors’ employees, unless the sub-contractors’ employees are covered by the insurance afforded by Contractor. If any class of employees engaged in work or services performed under this Agreement is not covered by California Labor Code section 3700, Contractor shall provide and/or require each sub-contractor to provide adequate insurance for the coverage of employees not otherwise covered.

Contractor shall also maintain employer’s liability insurance with limits of one million dollars ($1,000,000) for bodily injury or disease.

B. General Liability Insurance Requirements – Contractor shall maintain in full force and effect, at all times during the term of the Agreement Commercial General Liability Insurance including, but not 251

City of Shafter Library & Learning Center, Chess Garden Suppl. Conditions – Insurance and Indemnification CDBG 18.22.1 & 18.23.1 00800 - 2
limited to, Contractual Liability Insurance (specifically concerning the indemnity provisions of the Contract Documents), Products-Completed Operations Hazard, Personal Injury (including bodily injury and death), and Property Damage for liability arising out of Contractor’s performance of work under the Agreement. Contractor shall maintain the Products-Completed Operations Hazard coverage for the longest period allowed by law following termination of the Agreement.

The amount of said insurance coverage required by the Contract Documents shall be the policy limits, which shall be at least one million dollars ($1,000,000) each occurrence and two million dollars ($2,000,000) aggregate.

C. Automobile Liability Insurance Requirements – Contractor shall maintain Automobile Liability Insurance against claims of Personal Injury (including bodily injury and death) and Property Damage covering any vehicle and/or all owned, leased, hired and non-owned vehicles used in the performance of services pursuant to the Contract Documents with coverage equal to the policy limits, which shall be at least one million dollars ($1,000,000) each occurrence.

1.02 The Commercial General Liability and Automobile liability Insurance required in sub-paragraphs B. and C. above shall include an endorsement naming the Owner and Owner’s board members, their officials, officers, agents, employees and volunteers as additional insureds for liability arising out of the Agreement and any operations related thereto. Said endorsement shall be provided using one of the following three options: (i) on ISO form CG 20 10 11 85; or (ii) on ISO form CG 20 37 10 01 plus either ISO form CG 20 10 10 01 or CG 20 33 10 01; or (iii) on such other forms which provide coverage at least equal to or better than form CG 20 10 11 85.

1.03 Any self-insured retentions in excess of $100,000 must be declared on the Certificate of Insurance or other documentation provided to Owner and must be approved by the Kern County Planning and Community Development Department.

1.04 If any of the insurance coverages required under the Contract Documents is written on a claimsmade basis, Contractor, at Contractor’s option, shall either (i) maintain said coverage for at least three (3) years following the termination of this Agreement with coverage extending back to the effective date of this Agreement; or (ii) purchase an extended reporting period of not less than three (3) years following the termination of the Agreement.

1.05 Cancellation of Insurance -- The above stated insurance coverages required to be maintained by Contractor shall be maintained until the completion of all of Contractor’s obligations under the Contract Documents except as otherwise indicated herein. Each insurance policy supplied by Contractor shall not be suspended, voided, modified, canceled, or reduced in coverage or in limits except after ten (10) days notice by Contractor in the case of non-payment of premiums, or on thirty (30) days prior written notice in all other cases. This notice requirement does not waive the insurance requirements stated herein. Contractor shall immediately obtain replacement coverage for any insurance policy that is terminated, canceled, non-renewed, or whose policy limits have been exhausted or upon insolvency of the insurer that issued the policy.

1.06 All insurance shall be issued by a company or companies admitted to do business in California and listed in the current “Best’s Key Rating Guide” publication with a minimum rating of A-; VII.

Any exception to these requirements must be pre-approved by the Owner and the Kern County Planning and Community Development Department.

1.07 If Contractor is, or becomes during the term of the Agreement, self-insured or a member of a selfinsurance pool, Contractor shall provide coverage equivalent to the insurance coverages and endorsements required above. Owner will not accept such coverage unless Owner determines, in its sole discretion and by written acceptance, that the coverage proposed to be provided by Contractor is equivalent to the above-required coverages.

1.08 All insurance afforded by Contractor pursuant to the Contract Documents shall be primary to and not contributing to any other insurance or self-insurance maintained by Owner. An endorsement 252

City of Shafter Library & Learning Center, Chess Garden Suppl. Conditions – Insurance and Indemnification CDBG 18.22.1 & 18.23.1 00800 - 3
shall be provided on all policies which shall waive any right of recovery (waiver of subrogation) against Owner. A waiver of right of recovery (waiver of subrogation) is only required when Contractor’s personnel deliver services or perform service for the Owner while on Owner property.

1.09 Insurance coverages in the minimum amounts set forth herein shall not be construed to relieve Contractor for any liability, whether within, outside, or in excess of such coverage, and regardless of solvency or insolvency of the insurer that issues the coverage; nor shall it preclude Owner from taking such other actions as are available to it under any other provision of the Contract Documents or otherwise in law.

1.10 Failure by Contractor to maintain all such insurance in effect at all times required by the Contract Documents shall be a material breach of the Contract by Contractor. Owner, at its sole option, may terminate the Contract and obtain damages from Contractor resulting from said breach.

Alternatively, Owner may purchase such required insurance coverage, and without further notice to Contractor, Owner shall deduct from sums due to Contractor any premiums and associated costs advanced or paid by Owner for such insurance. If the balance of monies obligated to Contractor pursuant to the Contract are insufficient to reimburse Owner for the premiums and any associated costs, Contractor agrees to reimburse Owner for the premiums and pay for all costs associated with the purchase of said insurance. Any failure by Owner to take this alternative action shall not relieve Contractor of its obligation to obtain and maintain the insurance coverages required by the Contract Documents.

1.11 If injury occurs to any employee of Contractor, Subcontractor or sub-subcontractor for which the employee, or the employee’s dependents in the event of employee’s death, is entitled to compensation from Owner under provisions of the Workers’ Compensation Insurance and Safety Act, as amended, or for which compensation is claimed from Owner, Owner may retain out of sums due Contractor under the Contract Documents, an amount sufficient to cover such compensation, as fixed by the Workers’ Compensation Insurance and Safety Act, as amended, until such compensation is paid, or until it is determined that no compensation is due. If Owner is compelled to pay compensation, Owner may, in its discretion, either deduct and retain from the Contract Sum the amount so paid, or require Contractor to reimburse Owner.

1.12 Nothing herein shall be construed as limiting in any way the extent to which Contractor or any Subcontractor may be held responsible for payment of damages resulting from their operations.

1.13 All Subcontractors shall maintain the same insurance required to be maintained by Contractor with respect to their portions of the Work unless otherwise indicated in the Contract Documents, and Contractor shall cause the Subcontractors to furnish proof thereof to Owner within ten Days of Owner’s request.

ARTICLE 2 - RESPONSIBILITY OF CONTRACTOR AND INDEMNIFICATION

2.01 Owner and each of its officers, employees, consultants and agents including, but not limited to, the Board, Project Manager and each Owner’s Representative, shall not be liable or accountable in any manner for loss or damage that may happen to any part of the Work; loss or damage to materials or other things used or employed in performing the Work; injury, sickness, disease, or death of any person; or damage to property resulting from any cause whatsoever except their sole negligence, willful misconduct or active negligence, attributable to performance or character of the Work, and Contractor releases all of the foregoing persons and entities from any and all such claims.

2.02 To the furthest extent permitted by law (including without limitation California Civil Code §2782), Contractor shall assume defense of, and indemnify and hold harmless, Owner, their officers, employees, consultants and agents, including but not limited to the Council/Board, Project 253

City of Shafter Library & Learning Center, Chess Garden Suppl. Conditions – Insurance and Indemnification CDBG 18.22.1 & 18.23.1 00800 - 4
Manager and Owner’s officers, employees, consultants, and agents from claims, suits, actions, losses and liability of every kind, nature and description, including but not limited to claims and fines of regulatory agencies and attorney’s fees of counsel retained by Owner, expert fees, costs of staff time, and investigation costs, directly or indirectly arising out of, connected with or resulting from performance of the Work, failure to perform the Work, or condition of the Work which is caused in whole or part by any act or omission of Contractor, Subcontractors, anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of them or anyone for whose acts any of them may be liable, resulting from any cause whatsoever.

2.03 With respect to third-party claims against Contractor, Contractor waives any and all rights to any type of express or implied indemnity against Owner and each of its officers, employees, consultants and agents including, but not limited to Owner, the Council/Board, Project Manager and each Owner’s Representative. Owner shall provide timely notice to Contractor of any thirdparty claim relating to the Contract Documents, in accordance with Section 9201 of the California Public Contract Code.

2.04 Approval or purchase of any insurance contracts or policies shall in no way relieve from liability nor limit the liability of Contractor, its Subcontractors of any tier, or the officers or agents of any of them.

2.05 To the furthest extent permitted by law (including, without limitation, Civil Code §2782), the indemnities, releases of liability and limitations of liability, claims procedures, and limitations of remedy expressed throughout the Contract Documents shall apply even in the event of breach of Contract, negligence (active or passive), fault or strict liability of the party(ies) indemnified, released, or limited in liability, and shall survive the termination, rescission, breach, abandonment, or completion of the Work or the terms of the Contract Documents. If Contractor fails to perform any of these defense or indemnity obligations, Owner may in its discretion back charge Contractor for Owner’s costs and damages resulting therefrom and withhold such sums from progress payments or other Contract moneys which may become due.

2.06 The indemnities in the Contract Documents shall not apply to any indemnified party to the extent of its sole negligence or willful misconduct; nor shall they apply to Owner or other indemnified party to the extent of its active negligence.

SPECIAL PROVISIONS
Project Name and Number: CITY OF SHAFTER LIBRARY AND LEARNING CENTER, CHESS GARDEN, CDBG 18.22.1 & 18.23.1
SECTION 1. OTHER DOCUMENTS
Addendum (if any) and the General Conditions, Bid Proposals, Faithful Performance Bond, Payment Bond, Plans, Specifications, and all documents appurtenant thereto, including the Standard Specifications, and all documents attached hereto are hereby incorporated herein by this reference.

Should there be any conflict between the terms of these Special Provisions and any of the above documents, including the bid proposal, these special provisions shall control and nothing herein shall be considered as an acceptance of any terms of said documents or proposal conflicting herewith (excepting Addendum which modify these Special Provisions).

SECTION 2. BEGINNING OF WORK, TIME OF COMPLETION AND LIQUIDATED

DAMAGES
GENERAL - Attention is directed to the provisions of Sections 8-1.03, “Beginning of Work”, 8-1.06 “Time of Completion”, and 8-1.07, “Liquidated Damages”, of the Standard Specifications and these Special Provisions.

The first paragraph of Section 8-1.03 “Beginning of Work”, of the Standard Specifications, is amended to read:

As the execution of the Agreement by City is a matter of public record, Contractor will be considered to have received actual notice of the date the agreement was executed by City, on the date the agreement is so executed by City. The City may but is not required to send to Contractor written notice to proceed. Contractor's working days shall begin thirteen (13) calendar days after the date the agreement has been executed by City. Contractor shall begin work within fifteen (15) calendar days after the date said working days begin and shall diligently prosecute the same to completion before the expiration of FIFTY-SIX (56) calendar working days.

In the event that Contractor fails to complete the work within the FIFTY-SIX (56) calendar days as herein provided, for reasons or causes other than those provided for in the contract documents hereof, the City will be damaged. After considering such a breach and all aspects of the work including, but not limited to, the type of project, the current and future uses of the facilities and premises, the disarrangement of the premises and facilities thereof during the work, and the additional cost and difficulty of using the disarranged facilities during the work, the parties agree that a reasonable amount of damages for such a breach, if any, will be ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS AND NO CENTS ($1,000.00*******) per calendar day. Contractor's payment of said amount, if any, is payment of liquidated damages and not a penalty. It is understood that this amount is manifestly reasonable under the circumstances existing at the time of execution of the Agreement between Contractor and City, and it would be extremely difficult or impossible to determine with any degree of accuracy the actual damages in case of any such breach. In case of such a breach, it is agreed that City may deduct the amount thereof from the money due or to become due Contractor under the Agreement. City may withhold said liquidated damages from payments as such damages accrue, or, at City’s discretion, withhold liquidated damages from any payments due or that may become due under the agreement, including retention and final payment (pursuant to California Government Code Section 53069.85).

CITY COUNCIL REPORT
MEETING DATE: June 3, 2025
DEPARTMENT: Randy Milligan, Police Chief
SUBJECT: RADAR/MESSAGING TRAILER FROM FLOCK SAFETY

PURCHASE

RECOMMENDATION
Council find the action is not defined as a “project” per Section 15378(b)(4) of the CEQA Guidelines; approve the purchase of the RADAR messaging trailer from Flock Safety for $30,250.

BACKGROUND
The Shafter Police Department currently does not own a RADAR/messaging trailer.

Previously, the department had a RADAR trailer that was used for several years, but it became non-operational and was never replaced.

The trailer was proven to be a highly effective tool for gathering traffic information to support enforcement efforts, assist with traffic-calming initiatives, address speed complaints in residential neighborhoods, and fulfill citizen requests for additional traffic monitoring.

Speed trailers display the speed of approaching vehicles and serve as effective tools for increasing driver awareness. They are not intended for traffic enforcement but are educational for drivers and can significantly reduce speeds in residential areas and throughout the city.

The Flock Safety Radar Trailer can also display messages, allowing the Police Department to communicate with motorists and pedestrians. By adding a trailer, the Police Department would have the capability to warn the public of traffic hazards or redirect traffic during accidents or events. This feature would enhance traffic, transit, pedestrian, and bicycle safety throughout the city.

The trailers from Flock Safety come prewired for Automated License Plate Reading (LPR) cameras, enabling the Police Department to install an LPR camera on the trailer.

LPR cameras assist the Police Department in crime prevention and serve as investigative tools. The camera can be incorporated with the current Flock system.

The Police Department is requesting approval to purchase the Flock Safety Speed Alert 24 RADAR/Messaging trailer with the Flock LPR bundle. The total cost of the RADAR/Messaging trailer is $30,250.00. This price includes a two-year subscription to

RADAR/MESSAGING TRAILER FROM FLOCK SAFETY PURCHASE

the Flock LPR camera. After two years, an annual recurring cost of $5,000 will be added to our current Flock LPR camera subscription. A quote from Flock Safety is attached for review.

FISCAL IMPACT
If approved by the Council, a budget adjustment will be required to allocate $30,250 from the General Fund, utilizing salary savings from vacant positions.

CEQA ANALYSIS
The action is not defined as a “project” per Section 15378(b)(4) of the CEQA Guidelines because the action is the approval of speed alert radar message sign therefore, it is the creation of a governmental funding mechanism or other fiscal activity that does not involve any commitment to a specific project that can result in a potentially significant impact and not subject to CEQA.

DEPARTMENT: Rogelio Sanchez, Finance Director
SUBJECT: FEDERAL FUNDING UNDER FTA SECTION 5311 (49 U.S.C.

SECTION 5311) WITH THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF

TRANSPORTATION APPLICATION AUTHORIZATION

RECOMMENDATION
Council find the action is not defined as a “project” per Section 15378(b)(4) of the CEQA Guidelines; adopt Resolution 3020, a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Shafter, California, Authorizing the Federal Funding Under FTA Section 5311 (49 U.S.C. Section 5311) with the California Department of Transportation for Fiscal Year 2025-2026

BACKGROUND
The City annually files an application for federal assistance to fund a portion of the operation of our transit system. The City updated the resolution that establishes who is authorized to execute and file Section 5311 grant applications and assurances, who is authorized to furnish additional information as the Department of Transportation may require, who is authorized to execute affirmative and minority business policies, and who is authorized to execute the grant award. Securing of 5311 grant funds will fund a portion of the Transit Operations for Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-2026.

FISCAL IMPACT
These funds are annually budgeted, and this funding source assists in the delivery of transit services in the community. KernCOG is the lead agency for administering FTA 5311 grant funds to all Cities in the county and does so through the adoption of a Program of Projects (POP). The Fiscal Year 2025-2026 allocation to the City of Shafter is estimated to be $137,843.

CEQA ANALYSIS
The action is not defined as a “project” per Section 15378(b)(4) of the CEQA Guidelines because the action is the approval of a resolution authorizing application for federal funding with the California Department of Transportation and therefore, it is the creation of a governmental funding mechanism or other fiscal activity that does not involve any commitment to a specific project that can result in a potentially significant impact and not subject to CEQA.

CITY COUNCIL REPORT
MEETING DATE: June 3, 2025
DEPARTMENT: Rachel Zermeno, Community Engagement Manager SUBJECT: SOCIAL MEDIA RELATIONS ASSISTANT POSITION TO FULLTIME APPROVAL

RECOMMENDATION
Council find the action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it is not defined as a "project" per Section 15378(b)(4) of the CEQA Guidelines; and authorize the City Manager to convert the Social Media Relations Assistant Position to Full-Time within the Community Engagement Department.

BACKGROUND
The Community Engagement Department currently operates with a lean staffing structure consisting of one full-time employee and one part-time Social Media Relations Assistant. As the City of Shafter expands, the demand for timely, accurate, and effective communication with residents, businesses, and stakeholders has grown significantly.

Recently, the department assumed full responsibility for managing the social media accounts of both the Shafter Police Department and Animal Control. This transition has allowed public safety personnel to focus more directly on core operations; however, it has also substantially increased the workload of the communications team. We have seen a substantial increase in reach, over 100%, and gained more than 1,800 followers on Facebook and Instagram combined.

Shafter remains one of the fastest-growing communities in California. This growth has added complexity to City operations, particularly in community engagement, public transparency, and strategic communications, making robust and proactive communication efforts more critical than ever.

In May 2024, the City hired a part-time Social Media Relations Assistant position to help meet increasing communication demands. Over the past year, the position has averaged 103.5 hours per month, making it eligible for CalPERS retirement and health benefits. Given this, Staff recommends transitioning this role from part-time to full-time.

While the position will formally become full-time and eligible for associated benefits, it will maintain a regular schedule of 30 hours per week, with the flexibility to increase to 40 hours per week during peak periods or special project needs.

This adjustment ensures compliance with benefits eligibility requirements with minimal

SOCIAL MEDIA RELATIONS ASSISTANT POSITION TO FULL-TIME APPROVAL - 2 -
impact on the General Fund, supports the operational needs of the Community Engagement Department, and reinforces the City's ongoing commitment to responsive and effective communication with the public.

FISCAL IMPACT
Transitioning the Social Media Relations Assistant position from part-time to full-time will result in an estimated annual cost of $110,543, inclusive of salary and benefits. This increase will impact the General Fund beginning in FY 2025-26. No budget adjustment is required for the current fiscal year (FY 2024-25).

CEQA ANALYSIS
The action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it is not defined as a "project" per Section 15378(b)(4) of the CEQA Guidelines. The action is a government fiscal activity that does not involve any commitment to any specific project that may result in a potentially significant impact on the environment.

CITY COUNCIL REPORT
MEETING DATE: June 3, 2025
DEPARTMENT: Yazmina Pallares, City Clerk
SUBJECT: REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 1, 2025

CANCELLATION

RECOMMENDATION
Council find the action is not defined as a “project” per Section 15378(b)(5) of the CEQA Guidelines; approve the cancellation of the regularly scheduled City Council meeting of July 1, 2025.

BACKGROUND
It is common practice of cities to cancel one regularly scheduled City Council meeting during the summertime. This time of year is typically considered to not be as busy mainly due to several factors: usually the annual city budget has been adopted; City Council and City Staff may have planned summer vacations with family; and our counterparts at the local, regional and State level also tend to be out of the office. To this end, Staff is proposing the cancelation of the regular City Council meeting of July 1, 2025.

Currently, there are no business matters that require immediate action by the City Council at that meeting. A special meeting can be scheduled should business matters requiring immediate attention arise prior to the next regular Council meeting on Tuesday, July 15, 2025.

FISCAL IMPACT
None.

CEQA ANALYSIS
The action is not defined as a “project” per Section 15378(b)(5) of the CEQA Guidelines because the action is the cancellation of a regularly scheduled City Council meeting and therefore, it is organizational and administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes to the environment and not subject to CEQA.

CITY COUNCIL REPORT
MEETING DATE: June 3, 2025
DEPARTMENT: Alan Cazares, Associate Planner
SUBJECT: TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 7463

RECOMMENDATION
City Council find the action already complied with the California Environmental Quality Act; approve Tentative Tract No. 7463, proposing to subdivide 181.44 gross acres into 578 lots, subject to the recommended conditions of approval.

BACKGROUND
Lennar Homes, on behalf of the property owner, Millrose Properties California, is requesting approval of a Tentative Tract Map to subdivide approximately 181.44 gross acres into 578 total lots. This will include 548 single-family residences, three public parks, two drainage basins, a water well site, and 24 public landscape lots. The residential lots range in size from 5,000 square feet to 13,000 square feet.

At this time, the applicant is merely applying for a map approval as part of the entitlement process. Further design and development of the proposed tract will undergo additional review and permitting processes.

ANALYSIS
The project site is located on the southeastern edge of the City, north of Seventh Standard Road and within the Mission Lakes Specific Plan. Mission Lakes is envisioned as a master planned community containing a maximum of 5,334 dwelling units at full build-out; a major commercial center; locations for an elementary and middle school; public recreation facilities; an extensive system of landscaped public walkways; and parks.

This particular tract is located in the center of Mission Lakes. The future Mission Lakes Boulevard wraps around most of the tract, but Pueblo Street serves as the western boundary. In relation to the other Mission Lakes tracts that have been considered by the Commission so far, this tract is north of Tract 7461 and west of Tract 7462. This is the tract that will feature the proposed central lakes within the 43-acre recreational site.

This is the third residential tract application that the City has received for the Mission Lakes Specific Plan area. Tentative Tract Map 7461 was approved by the Shafter City Council in January 2025, allowing for the future development of 281 single-family residences. Tentative Tract Map 7462 was approved by Council in April 2025, allowing

TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 7463
- 2 -
for future development of 836 single-family residential lots. If 7463 is approved by Council, there will be entitlements for 1,665 future single-family homes in the Mission Lakes Specific Plan area.

A variety of floor plans will be provided that will appeal to a wide range of future home buyers, responding to both local and regional housing needs. As the City entitles and permits more housing units, the City makes progress in meeting the 6th Cycle Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) as identified in the City of Shafter’s 2023-2031 Housing Element Update. Under the RHNA process, the City is assigned its “fair share” of new housing units to build in order to plan for the housing needs of its residents across all income levels, plan for projected growth, and help alleviate California’s housing shortage.

Tract 7463 will also contain two new public parks and a 43-acre recreation site, the latter will include the central lake(s). There will be an extensive system of landscaped walkways, primary paseos, and secondary paseos within the tract designed to enhance walkability, increase connectivity throughout the specific plan area, and promote healthy living.

The tract is located two miles east of the Wonderful Industrial Park, one of Shafter’s major employment hubs, which places housing in close proximity to work. Proximity between jobs and housing can help reduce the region’s vehicle miles traveled and contribute to emission reduction goals. As housing production increases within Shafter, commercial real estate groups may be incentivized to invest in the community and foster projects that will boost the local economy and quality of life.

Around Tract 7463, Mission Lakes Boulevard will be developed as an arterial street with four travel lanes, two auxiliary/bike lanes, a landscaped median, and a primary paseo on one side of the street. Pueblo Street is defined as a minor collector with a parking lane and travel lane on each side, a turn lane down the middle, and a primary paseo on one side of the street. Pedregoza Street will also be a minor collector but will have a secondary paseo on one side of the street instead of the primary paseo. This will serve as a main access point to the 40-acre recreational site. Secondary paseos along the internal streets and multiple landscape lots with walkways will be distributed throughout the tract. These will provide future residents with a variety of walking paths from the home to the multiple public parks and recreation site. Immediately across Pueblo Street, adjacent to the southwest tract boundary, a 15-acre elementary school will be located in the future.

PROJECT REVIEW
The standards and procedures for review and approval of a tentative tract map are generally governed by the California Subdivision Map Act and Title 16 of the Shafter Municipal Code, which is our local Subdivision Ordinance. The proposed tentative tract map has been designed to be consistent with the design elements, development standards, and housing unit capacity required by the Mission Lakes Specific Plan.

TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 7463
- 3 -
The proposed subdivision project was reviewed by the Planning, Building, Public Works, and Engineering Departments of the City of Shafter. To the best of staff’s combined knowledge, the proposed project satisfies all applicable local and state ordinances and regulations at this stage of the development process. Moreover, staff have compiled a list of conditions of approval (as shown in Exhibit “B” of Resolution No. 3019) that reflect additional necessary requirements and rules that the project proponent will have to satisfy and comply with in the ongoing design and development of this tract. More thorough analysis and project review occur at future steps of the entitlement, permitting, and construction phases.

Affected public agencies and service providers were given an opportunity to review the map, provide comments, and propose conditions of approval prior to the Planning Commission hearing. As required by law, public noticing was also provided to any parties within 300 feet of the project boundaries, and a public hearing notice was published on the local press within the required timeline.

MISSION LAKES SPECIFIC PLAN CONSISTENCY
The proposed residential project is consistent with the adopted Mission Lakes Specific Plan and the lot size, configuration, and density meet the requirements for Planning Areas 5, 6, and 10, as identified in the Specific Plan. The circulation plan, street configuration, trails, parks, landscaping, and proposed improvements are all consistent with the Mission Lakes Specific Plan and approved amendments.

MINERAL RIGHTS
Atlantic Richfield Company (ARCO) owns 100% of the mineral rights underlying the project site. As required by state law, ARCO is identified on the tentative tract map as the mineral rights owner. To date, ARCO has not provided comments on the map.

PUBLIC COMMENTS
To date, no public comments on the project have been received. No public comments were received at the May 13th Planning Commission public hearing either when this map was presented.

PLANNING COMMISSION REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Commission considered the tentative tract map on May 13, 2025. The Planning Commission unanimously approved of and adopted Resolution No. 25-459, recommending the City Council approve the tentative tract map (Tentative Tract No. 7463) subject to the recommended conditions of approval.

FINDINGS

TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 7463
- 4 -

1. The City Council finds that Tentative Tract No. 7463, with the Conditions of Approval, is consistent with the Shafter General Plan and the Mission Lakes Specific Plan.

2. The City Council finds the proposed subdivision is in substantial conformity with the Subdivision Map Act and with Title 16 (Subdivision Ordinance) of the Shafter Municipal Code. The proposed lots are in substantial conformance with the provisions of City Ordinances and all lots will have adequate access to public streets, water lines, fire hydrants, drainage facilities, and utilities.

3. The project’s uses and design are compatible with projects adjacent to the Mission Lakes Specific Plan.

4. The project contributes to the design qualities expected under the Mission Lakes Specific Plan.

5. The project has demonstrated compliance with the policies of the City of Shafter 2005 General Plan.

6. The attached Conditions of Approval are deemed necessary for the safety and welfare of the community and to ensure reasonable surface access is provided for oil and gas exploration and production within the Mission Lakes Specific Plan.

7. The project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act, i.e., exempt from the requirements of Division 13 (commencing with Section 21000) of the Public Resources Code, pursuant to California Government Code §65457.

ALTERNATIVES

1. Disapprove the tentative map. Government Code §66474 of the Subdivision Map Act specifies that the Council may only deny the tentative map if it can be found that the map design or improvements are inconsistent with the General Plan, the type or density of development are physically unsuitable for the site, it is likely that the development will cause environmental damage, it is likely that the development will cause serious public health problems, or that the design will conflict with public easements. None of the required findings for denial apply to the proposed map. STAFF DOES NOT RECOMMEND THIS OPTION.

2. Delay approval of the tentative map. The City Council is required by Government Code §66452.2 to take action on the tentative map within 30 days of the filing of the recommendation from the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the tentative map on May 13, 2025, so final action by the Council is needed before June 12, 2025. Since there are no other City Council meetings scheduled before the aforementioned date, Council should not delay the map any further. STAFF DOES NOT RECOMMEND THIS OPTION.

3. Take no action on the tentative map. If the City Council takes no action on the map prior to June 12, 2025, Government Code §66452.4 stipulates that the map is automatically deemed approved. STAFF DOES NOT RECOMMEND THIS OPTION.

FISCAL IMPACT

TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 7463
- 5 -
There is no fiscal impact directly resulting from the approval of the tentative tract map.

Indirectly, the approval may expedite the development of the residential project. Development of residential projects typically result in increased one-time building related revenues and annual property tax revenues. These revenues are generally offset by the increased ongoing costs of providing services to the newly developed properties.

CEQA ANALYSIS
The proposed tentative tract map includes residential development consistent with the adopted Mission Lakes Specific Plan. Therefore, the project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act, i.e., exempt from the requirements of Division 13 (commencing with Section 21000) of the Public Resources Code, pursuant to California Government Code §65457. The project is within the scope of the Program Environmental Impact Report (EIR) that was certified for the Mission Lakes Specific Plan in 2005 (SCH No. 2004101029). The certified Program EIR adequately describes the activity of the residential development proposed in Tentative Tract No. 7463 as adopted in the Mission Lakes Specific Plan.

from the California Environmental Quality Act, i.e., exempt from the requirements of Division 13 (commencing with Section 21000) of the Public Resources Code, pursuant to California Government Code §65457. The project is within the scope of the Program Environmental Impact Report (EIR) that was certified for the Mission Lakes Specific Plan in 2005 (SCH No. 2004101029). The certified Program EIR adequately describes the activity of the residential development proposed in Tentative Tract No. 7463 within the Mission Lakes Specific Plan area.

3. The City Council finds the proposed subdivision is in substantial conformity with the Subdivision Map Act and with Title 16 (Subdivision Ordinance) of the Shafter Municipal Code. The proposed lots are in substantial conformance with the provisions of the Mission Lakes Specific Plan and all lots have adequate and proper access to public streets, sanitary sewer, water lines, fire hydrants, drainage structures and utilities.

4. The attached Conditions of Approval are deemed necessary for the safety and welfare of the community and to ensure reasonable surface access is provided for oil and gas exploration and production within the Mission Lakes Specific Plan.

5. Urban services are available for the proposed development. The project is within an area to be served by all necessary utilities and waste disposal systems. Improvements proposed as part of the project will deliver utilities to the individual lots or parcels to be created.

6. The proposed subdivision (Tentative Tract No. 7463), together with the provisions for its design and improvement, is consistent with the City of Shafter General Plan. The proposed density and intensity of development are consistent with the Mission Lakes Specific Plan.

Proposed road improvements are consistent with the Circulation Program. The overall design of the project, as conditioned, is consistent with the goals and policies of all elements of the General Plan.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Shafter, in a regular meeting on the 3rd day of June 2025, hereby approves Tentative Tract Map No. 7463 (Exhibit “A”), as described above and as shown in Exhibit “A”, with conditions of approval as provided in Exhibit “B”.

GENERAL

1. The owner(s), project proponent(s), and/or applicant(s) (hereinafter referred to as “Developer”), solely at their cost and expense, shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the City of Shafter (hereinafter referred to as “City”), its agents, legislative bodies, officers and employees regarding any legal or administrative action, claim or proceeding concerning approval of Tentative Tract No. 7463 and/or related actions including, without limitation, actions taken or not taken with respect to the California Environmental Quality Act (hereinafter referred to as “CEQA”); or, at its election and in the alternative, shall relinquish such approval. Developer shall assume the defense of the City in any such legal or administrative action, claim or proceeding with legal counsel paid for in the entirety by Developer, but subject to the City's reasonable approvals. Developer shall also reimburse the City, its agents, legislative bodies, officers and employees for any judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and attorneys' fees which the City, its agents, legislative bodies, officers and employees may be required to pay or otherwise pay because of such action, claim, or proceeding. The City may, at its sole discretion, participate at its own expense in the defense of any such action, claim or proceeding, but such participation shall not relieve Developer’s obligations under these conditions of approval (hereinafter referred to as “Conditions”).

2. The Developer or the Developer’s engineer shall submit a list of all contractors and/or subcontractors performing work on this project to the City Finance Department and such contractors and subcontractors shall obtain valid business licenses to do business and/or work in the City of Shafter.

Said discomforts may include, but not be limited to equipment noises, odors from manure or other chemicals, and dust or smoke. The City has determined that the use of real property for agricultural operations is a high priority and favored use to the City and Kern County and will not be considered a nuisance for those inconveniences or discomforts arising from agricultural operations, provided such operations are consistent with accepted customs, standards, and laws.”

4. Until all portions of the tentative tract have been developed, all vacant and undeveloped land, not being actively farmed, shall be maintained in a weed-free and clean manner by the Developer. Should said property not be so maintained, the City shall notify the property owner that the property is to be cleaned within thirty (30) days of receipt of said notice. If the property owner does not comply within the required time frame, City may then clear the land and bill the property owner for expenses incurred.

2 5. Unless a final map is recorded, this tentative tract shall expire twenty-four (24) months from the date of approval by the City Council, unless an extension is granted by the City Council.

Should an extension be requested, Developer, not less than sixty (60) days prior to the expiration date, shall submit to the City, the applicable processing fees and a completed application requesting an extension of the map approval in accordance with the provisions of City Code and the Subdivision Map Act. PLEASE NOTE: This will be the only notice given for the above specific expiration date. The applicant is responsible for initiating an extension request.

6. All construction and development shall be consistent with the City of Shafter Mission Lakes Specific Plan and Tentative Tract No. 7463.

PLANNING

7. Prior to initiating any grading or earthmoving within Tract No. 7463, the Developer shall provide the City of Shafter Planning Department with written confirmation from the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (SJVAPCD) that the proposed development follows the requirements of the District’s Rule 9510.

8. The Developer shall be required to permanently maintain all landscaping, except for landscaping included in the Community Facilities District, including the replacement of any trees or shrubs that do not survive.

9. Only the street names or alternate street names that have been approved on the attached Tentative Tract Map shall be shown on the Final Map(s) for Tract No. 7463. If the Developer wishes to change the street names at any point in time, a street name change request will need to be submitted to the Shafter Planning Department and approved prior to changing or using any proposed street names.

10. If the Developer proposes to phase the map or make any changes to the approved tentative map contents, the Developer shall submit a Substantial Conformance application to the Planning Director for review and approval. If the map is phased, the Planning Department may request that the Developer apply for a Change of Conditions to update any affected conditions as necessary.

11. Approved access shall be provided for each lot in accordance with City standards.

12. All roof-mounted air conditioning equipment shall be located on the rear portion of the roof ridge line in such a manner as to be screened as much as practical from view from public streets.

13. With the exception of model houses, as provided in Section 3.080, Chapter 3, Title 16 (Subdivision Ordinance) of the Shafter Municipal Code, no building permit shall be issued by the City of Shafter until Tract No. 7463 has been recorded pursuant to the requirements of Title 16 (Subdivision Ordinance) and Title 17 (Zoning Ordinance) of the Shafter Municipal Code.

3 14. If Condition No. 146 is initiated by the Developer and executed by the City of Shafter, no building permit shall be issued until wet utilities have been installed, an all-weather surface roadway is completed on the subject property, and survey stakes or other form of temporary documentation will be provided for, and approved by the Building and Safety Inspector, to verify building location. Missing stakes or other temporary documentation will result in delays in inspection schedule.

15. The following note shall appear on the final map and all grading and construction plans:
a. If during grading or construction, any plugged, abandoned, or unrecorded oil or gas wells are uncovered or damaged, the California Department of Conservation/Geologic Energy Management Division (CalGEM) shall be contacted to inspect and approve any remediation required.
b. If any abandoned water wells are located within the development or discovered during excavation or grading, the Kern County Public Health Department - Environmental Health Services Program must be contacted to obtain information for the proper permitting and destruction procedures.
c. Building setbacks on lots with existing plugged wells shall satisfy the requirements of the CalGEM.
