Accordingly, the provisions of this indemnity provision are intended by the parties to be interpreted and construed to provide the fullest protection possible under the law to the City.

[Business & Professions Code§ 7028.15]
[Public Contract Code§ 20103.5]
I, the undersigned, certify that I am aware of the following provisions of California law and that I, or the entity on whose behalf this certification is given, hold a currently valid California contractor's license as set forth below (required at time of award) :

Business & Professions Code§ 7028.15:
(a) It is a misdemeanor for any person to submit a bid to a public agency in order to engage in the business or act in the capacity of a contractor within this state without having a license therefor, except in any of the following cases:
(I) The person is pa11icularly exempted from this chapter. (2) The bid is submitted on a state project governed by Section 10164 of tl1e Public Contract Code or on any local agency project governed by Section 20104 [now§ 20103.5] of the Public Contract Code. (b) If a person has been previously convicted of the offense described in this section, the court shall impose a fine of 20 percent of the price of the contract under which the unlicensed person performed contracting work, or four thousand five hundred dollars ($4,500), whichever is greater, or imprisonment in the county jail for not less than IO days nor more than six months, or both.

In the event the person performing the contracting work has agreed to furnish materials and labor on an hourly basis, "the price of the contract" for the purposes of this subdivision means the aggregate sum of the cost of materials and labor furnished and the cost of completing the work to be performed. (c) This section shall not apply to a joint venture license, as required by Section 7029.1. However, at the time of making a bid as a joint venture, each person submitting the bid shall be subject to this section with respect to his or her individual licensure.
( d) This section shall not affect the right or ability of a licensed architect, land surveyor, or registered professional engineer to form joint ventures with licensed contractors to render services within the scope of their respective practices.
(e) Unless one of the foregoing exceptions applies, a bid submitted to a public agency by a contractor who is not licensed in accordance with this chapter shall be considered non-responsive and shall be rejected by the public agency. Unless one of the foregoing exceptions applies, a local public agency shall, before awarding a contract or issuing a purchase order, verify that the contractor was properly licensed when the contractor submitted the bid. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, unless one of the foregoing exceptions applies, the registrar may issue a citation to any public officer or employee of a public entity who knowingly awards a contract or issues a purchase order to a contractor who is not licensed pursuant to this chapter. The amount of civil penalties, appeal, and finality of such citations shall be subject to Sections 7028.7 to 7028.13, inclusive. Any contract awarded to, or any purchase order issued to, a contractor who is not licensed pursuant to this chapter is void. (f) Any compliance or noncompliance with subdivision (e) of this section, as added by Chapter 863 of the Statutes of 1989, shall not invalidate any contract or bid awarded by a public agency during which time that subdivision was in effect.
(g) A public employee or officer shall not be subject to a citation pursuant to this section if the public employee, officer, or employing agency made an inquiry to the board for the purposes of verifying the license status of any person or contractor and the board failed to respond to the inquiry within three business days. For purposes of this section, a telephone response by the board shall be deemed sufficient.

Public Contract Code§ 20103.5:
17 In all contracts subject to this part where federal funds are involved, no bid submitted shall be invalidated by the failure of the bidder to be licensed in accordance with the laws of this state. However, at the time the contract is awarded, the contractor shall be properly licensed in accordance with the laws of this state. The first payment for work or material under any contract shall not be made unless and until the Registrar of Contractors verifies to the agency that the records of the Contractors' State License Board indicate that the contractor was properly licensed at the lime the contract was awarded, Any bidder or contractor not so licensed shall be subject to all legal penalties imposed by law, including, but not limited to, any appropriate disciplinary action by the Contractors' State License Board. The agency shall include a statement to that effect in the standard form of pre-qualification questionnaire and financial statement. Failure of the bidder to obtain proper and adequate licensing for an award of a contract shall constitute a failure to execute the contract and shall result in the forfeiture of the security of the bidder.

Contractor acknowledges that its obligation pursuant to this section extends to liability attributable to City, if that liability is less than the sole fault of City.

Contractor has no obligation under this agreement for liability proven in a court of competent jurisdiction or by written agreement between the parties to be the sole fault of City.

The obligations of Contractor under this or any other provision of this agreement will not be limited by the provisions of any workers compensation act or similar act. Contractor expressly waives its statutory immunity under such statues or laws as to City, its employees and officials.

Contractor agrees to obtain executed indemnity agreements with provisions identical to those set forth here in this section from each and every subcontractor, subtler contractor or any other person or entity involved by, for, with or on behalf of Contractor in the performance or subject matter of this agreement. In the event Contractor fails to obtain such indemnity obligations from others as required here, Contractor agrees to be fully responsible according to the terms of this section.

Failure of City to monitor compliance with these requirements imposes no additional obligations on City and will in no way act as a waiver of any rights hereunder. This obligation to indemnify and defend City as set forth herein is binding on the successors, assigns, or heirs of Contractor and shall survive the termination of this agreement or this section.

Prior to the beginning of and throughout the duration of the Work, Consultant will maintain insurance in conformance with the requirements set forth below.

If that existing coverage does not meet the requirements set forth here, Consultant agrees to amend, supplement or endorse the existing coverage to do so. Consultant acknowledges that the insurance coverage and policy limits set forth in this section constitute the minimum amount of coverage required. Any insurance proceeds available to City in excess of the limits and coverage required in this Agreement and which is applicable to a given foss, will be available to City.

1 . Commercial General Liability Insurance using Insurance Services Office "Commercial General Liability" policy form CG 00 01 or the exact equivalent.

Defense costs must be paid in addition to limits. There shall be no cross liability exclusion for claims or suits by one insured against another. Limits are subject to review but in no event less than $1,000,000 per occurrence.

2. Business Auto Coverage on ISO Business Auto Coverage form CA 00 01 including symbol 1 (Any Auto) or the exact equivalent.

General conditions pertaining to provision of insurance coverage by Consultant.

Consultant and City agree to the following with respect to insurance provided by Consultant:

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

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

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

4. 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.

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

6. All coverage types and limits required are subject to approval, modification and additional requirements by the City, as the need arises. Consultant shall not make any reductions in scope of coverage ( e.g. elimination of contractual liability or reduction of discovery period) that may affect City's protection without City's prior written consent.

7.

Any premium so paid by City shall be charged to and promptly paid by Consultant or deducted from sums due Consultant, at City option.

9. It is acknowledged by the parties of this Agreement that all insurance coverage required to be provided by Consultant or any subcontractor, is intended to apply first and on a primary, non-contributing basis in relation to any other insurance or self insurance available to City.

Consultant agrees that upon request, all agreements with subcontractors and others engaged in the project will be submitted to City for review.

Consultant agrees not to self-insure or to use any self-insured retentions or deductibles on any portion of the insurance required herein and further agrees that it will not allow any contractor, subcontractor, Architect, Engineer or other entity or person in any way involved in the performance of work on the project contemplated by this Agreement to self-insure its obligations to City. If Consultant's existing coverage includes a deductible or self-insured retention, the deductible or self-insured retention must be declared to the City. At that time the City shall review options with the Consultant, which may include reduction or elimination of the deductible or self-insured retention, substitution of other coverage, or other solutions.

12. 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 will negotiate additional compensation proportional to the increased benefit to City.

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

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

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

16. Consultant shall provide proof that policies of insurance required herein expiring during the term of this Agreement have been renewed or replaced with other policies providing at least the same coverage. Proof that such coverage has been ordered shall be submitted prior to expiration. A coverage binder or letter from Consultant's insurance agent to this effect is acceptable. A certificate of insurance and/or additional insured endorsement as required in these specifications applicable to the renewing or new coverage must be provided to City within five days of the expiration of the coverages.
1 7. The provisions of any workers' compensation or similar act will not limit the obligations of Consultant under this Agreement. Consultant expressly agrees not to use any statutory immunity defenses under such laws with respect to City, its employees, officials and agents.

18. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this section are not intended as limitations on coverage, limits or other requirements nor as a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any given policy. 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 limiting or allinclusive.

I 9. These insurance requirements are intended to be separate and distinct from any other provision in this Agreement and are intended by the parties here to be interpreted as such.

20. The requirements in this Section supersede all other sections and provisions of this Agreement to the extent that any other section or provision conflicts with or impairs the provisions of this Section.

21. Consultant agrees to be responsible for ensuring that no contract used by any party involved in any way with the project reserves the right to charge City or Consultant for the cost of additional insurance coverage required by this Agreement. Any such provisions are to be deleted with reference to City. It is not the intent of City to reimburse any third party for the cost of complying with these requirements. There shall be no recourse against City for payment of premiums or other amounts with respect thereto.

City assumes no obligation or liability by such notice, but has the right (but not the duty) to monitor the handling of any such claim or claims if they are likely to involve City. -16-

"No Parking" signs and door hangers will be posted 48 hours prior to performing work. Once work is scheduled and is being performed the next step is to monitor progress.

City of Stanton
Street Tree Master Plan
City Arborists and Public Tree Maintenance Services
Great Scott Tree Service, Inc. will provide the City of Stanton with a Comprehensive Street Tree Master Plan.

Pruning Recommendations
Based on the relative age, health and locale of trees throughout the City our staff will prepare long term pruning recommendations. This pruning schedule will be applied to the database program for immediate response to resident or city staff scheduling inquiries. If a tree at a resident's property is on a schedule, generally that will satisfy their needs. The most cost effective pruning plan is a block-by-block system or "Grid Trimming". By utilizing this method the contractor is able to keep costs low and pass the savings to the City. Each tree will receive an inspection on a regular basis.

Tree Condition Evaluation
The condition of each tree in the City will be assessed by a Certified Arborist during the tree inventory operations. Trees that are recommended for removal will be identified and a cost to provide the tree removal service will be assigned. At the end of the project the City will receive a report including a spreadsheet that will calculate the total cost to remove all hazardous trees and replace the trees with the appropriate specie.

Vacant Planting Sites
Every vacant planting site in the City of Stanton will be identified based on spacing criteria provided by the City or determined by our staff. The knowledge of the number of vacant planting sites will assist the City in the acquisition of state and federal planting grants. If the City should receive a planting grant, our software program ArborPro, will create a mail merge document to notify each resident of our intention to plant trees adjacent to their address. The letter will include a full page color photo of the species selected for their property and a return post card.

Determine Proper Specie
Our arborist will work with City Staff and local organizations to determine the proper species to be planted throughout the City. The determination will be based on specie attributes, aesthetic qualities, space limitations and City preference.

Tree Valuation
ArborPro will provide the City with the real value of the urban forest. Based on standards set forth by the International Society of Arboriculture each tree will be assigned a true monetary value. Once the value of the Urban Forest is determined City staff can use this valuable information to acquire additional funds to maintain a valuable asset. The tree valuation is also a requirement of G.A.S.B. 34.

CITY OF STANTON

REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
DATE: August 22, 2023
SUBJECT: CITY OF STANTON QUALIFIED CONTRACTORS LIST FOR CALIFORNIA

UNIFORM PUBLIC CONSTRUCTION COST ACCOUNTING ACT
REPORT IN BRIEF:

The City of Stanton’s Qualified Contractors List has been prepared in accordance with the California Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act (CUPCCAA) guidelines and associated Public Contract Codes.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

1. City Council declare this action to be categorically exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act, Section 15378(b)(5) (Organizational or administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment); and

2. Receive and file the Qualified Contractors List (Attachment A).

BACKGROUND:

CUPCCAA is legislation that was enacted in 1983 to help promote “uniformity of the cost accounting standards and bidding procedures on construction work performed or contracted by public entities in the state” (Section 22001). The Act is a voluntary program available to all public entities in the State, but it applies only to those public agencies that have “opted in” to the provisions set forth by the Act using the processes outlined in the Act. The entirety of the Act is found at Sections 22000-22045. In 2011, the City adopted Municipal Code Section 2.58.010 to opt in.

The CUPCCAA allows for public works projects in the amount of $60,000 or less to be performed by a public agency’s force account using the public agency’s own resources, or by negotiated contract, or by purchase order. Public Projects in the amount of $200,000 or less may use the informal or formal bidding procedures set forth in the Act. Public Projects at a cost of more than $200,000 must use formal bidding procedures pursuant to Public Contract Codes Section 22032(c).

Item: 9I
Click here to return to the agenda.

The City released a “Notice Inviting Interested Contractors” soliciting applications to interested contractors to be placed on the City’s 2023 Contractors List. This list is designed so contractors can receive “Notice Inviting Bids” for informal projects under $200,000 in their work category per California Public Contract Code 22032. Only qualified contractors will be notified and eligible to bid on these Informal Bid Projects per Public Contract Code Section 22034.

Utilizing the City’s Business License report, businesses in Stanton were also notified to participate and be included in the City’s Contractors List. Staff also contacted the California Uniform Construction Cost Accounting Commission (CUCCAC) to confirm that the appropriate steps were taken in order to utilize the Contractor’s List.

ANALYSIS/JUSTIFICATION:

Utilizing the provisions of CUPCCAA is beneficial as it provides more flexibility in the execution of public works projects under a certain dollar amount; accelerates the award process; expedites project delivery; reduces the time, effort, and expense associated with bidding projects under $200,000; and simplifies administration for these projects.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended action.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:

None.

LEGAL REVIEW:

None.

PUBLIC NOTIFICATION:

Notifications and advertisement were performed as prescribed by law.

STRATEGIC PLAN OBJECTIVES:

Obj. No. 3: Provide a quality infrastructure.

Obj. No. 6: Maintain and promote a responsive, high-quality, and transparent government.

ORDINANCE NO. 1132

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF STANTON, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING SECTION 5.74.045 OF CHAPTER 5.74 OF TITLE 5 OF THE STANTON

MUNICIPAL CODE REGARDING REGULATIONS ON SIDEWALK VENDING WHEREAS, the City of Stanton, California (“City”) is a municipal corporation, duly organized under the California Constitution and laws of the State of California; and WHEREAS, in 2018, the California Legislature passed SB 946 which prohibits cities from regulating sidewalk vendors, except in accordance with the provisions of SB 946; and WHEREAS, pursuant to the police powers delegated to it by the California Constitution, the City has the authority to enact laws which promote the public health, safety, and general welfare of its citizens, including sidewalk vending, as long as these are consistent with SB 946; and
WHEREAS, in 2019, the City Council enacted regulations governing sidewalk vendors, ensuring compliance with the provisions set forth in SB 946; and WHEREAS, SB 946 authorizes the implementation of regulations that are directly related to objective health, safety, or welfare concerns, and that do not restrict sidewalk vendors to operate only in a designated neighborhood or area, except as specified; and WHEREAS, the City is committed to fostering a vibrant and inclusive community that prioritizes the safety and well-being of its residents, particularly children and seniors; and WHEREAS, the City recognizes that certain locations within the public right of way, such as those near schools, youth centers, child and senior care facilities, and other related facilities, necessitate additional safeguards due to the unique vulnerabilities and potential risks associated with the presence of sidewalk vendors near these locations; and WHEREAS, vending within five hundred (500) feet of schools, youth centers, and childcare facilities impacts pedestrian and vendor safety due to overcrowding on sidewalks, which results in children and their caretakers walking in the street and along the sidewalk to keep moving forward; and
WHEREAS, sidewalk vendors operating near schools, youth centers, and child day care facilities can inadvertently impede after-school and post-meeting traffic flow and create potentially hazardous situations, leading to potential risks for the safety of children; and WHEREAS, the City recognizes the unique nature of schools, youth centers, and child day care facilities as sensitive receptors to potential noise and disruptive activities and finds it imperative to expand Section 5.74.045 of the Stanton Municipal Code to prohibit sidewalk vending near these areas in order to ensure the overall welfare and undisturbed operations of such facilities; and

ORDINANCE NO. 1132
PAGE 2 OF 4
WHEREAS, the City recognizes the importance of promoting the independence and autonomy of seniors residing in senior living facilities and other related facilities while simultaneously prioritizing their health and safety; and WHEREAS, senior living facilities often serve as a home for older adults who may have varying degrees of mobility, sensory impairments, or cognitive challenges, making it essential to create an environment that fosters their well-being and mitigates potential hazards associated with sidewalk vending; and
WHEREAS, the City recognizes the potential challenges faced by seniors with mobility impairments or visual limitations when navigating congested areas near senior living facilities, and limiting sidewalk vending in these areas ensures unobstructed pathways and enhances accessibility for seniors with diverse needs; and WHEREAS, senior living facilities often serve as a haven for seniors seeking a peaceful and secure environment, and the restriction of sidewalk vending near these facilities aims to maintain the tranquility and serenity conducive to their physical and emotional wellbeing; and WHEREAS, the adjacency of sidewalk vendors near care facilities may inadvertently attract children and seniors with specialized care needs to venture off-site unaccompanied despite potential challenges they may face when doing so alone; and WHEREAS, by expanding Section 5.74.045 of the Stanton Municipal Code, the City aims to address the aforementioned safety concerns that may arise from congestion or obstruction caused by sidewalk vendors operating within five hundred (500) feet of schools, child and senior care facilities, and other related facilities; and WHEREAS, these restrictions are enacted with the primary objective of safeguarding the well-being of children and seniors, minimizing potential hazards, and promoting a secure environment for all residents while supporting the vitality of the City's sidewalk vending program.

2 On June 28, 2022, the City Council approved an Employment Agreement to retain Hannah Shin-Heydorn as City Manager. The Council recently completed Mrs. ShinHeydorn’s annual review and performance evaluation pursuant to the terms of the Employment Agreement. As a result of a positive evaluation, the Council authorized a six percent increase in her base salary as of July 2, 2023.

The City Council also authorized an increase to the maximum balance of Mrs. ShinHeydorn’s accrued comprehensive leave hours to 480 hours. The proposed contract amendment also increases the maximum balance of unused comprehensive leave hours for which Mrs. Shin-Heydorn may receive payment. That amount is now 275 hours, annually, pursuant to Section 11 of the Employment Agreement. The Council directed the City Attorney to prepare the attached First Amendment to Employment Agreement, accordingly.

In addition to memorializing these changes in the City Manager’s contract, these changes would also be documented in the City’s amended employee benefits and rates resolution. (Attachment 3.)
