A portion of the intersection of Katella Avenue and Dale Avenue is within the City of Garden Grove, estimated at approximately 4,300 square feet. In order to fully rehabilitate the intersection, the City Engineer recommends including the City of Garden Grove’s portion into the scope of work.

The Agreement provides for a project scope of work and defines the specific terms, conditions and responsibilities between the City of Stanton and the City of Garden Grove. The Cooperative Agreement establishes the City of Stanton as the lead agency for this Project and the estimated cost for work in the City of Garden Grove’s jurisdiction is approximately $7,690.

The Cooperative Agreement has been presented and approved by the City of Garden Grove City Council at the August 8, 2023 meeting.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The adopted Fiscal Year 2023/2024 Operating Budget includes funds for this Project (Task Code No. 2023-101). The City of Garden Grove will pay the City of Stanton for work performed within the City of Garden Grove city limits upon final approval by the City of Garden Grove.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:

This project is exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), Class 1, Section 15301(c) as repair, maintenance, and minor alteration of existing streets, sidewalks, gutters, and similar facilities.

WITNESS ETH:

WHEREAS, STANTON is contemplating the rehabilitation of the pavement surface of that portion of Katella Avenue and Dale Avenue intersection located in the City of Stanton, (hereinafter the "STANTON PORTION"); and,
WHEREAS, there is a portion of Katella Avenue and Dale Avenue located within the boundaries of GARDEN GROVE (hereinafter "GG PORTION"); and, WHEREAS, GARDEN GROVE desires to have STANTON rehabilitate the GG PORTION of Katella Avenue and Dale Avenue in conjunction with the STANTON PORTION, collectively the "PROJECT", and STANTON is willing to do so. The exact location of the GARDEN GROVE is described in detail in the document attached hereto as Exhibit A, incorporated herein by this reference. The estimated cost of the GG PORTION, including a ten percent (10%) contingency, is Seven Thousand Six Hundred Ninety Dollars ($ 7,690.00) (the "Estimated Cost").

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the following promises, covenants, and conditions, the parties hereto do agree as follows:

1. DUTIES OF STANTON

If STANTON, in its sole discretion, determines not to proceed with the PROJECT at any time prior to commencement of actual work, this Agreement shall terminate with no further action required by either party. In the event the projected actual cost of the GG PORTION, as reflected in the Successful Contractor's bid, exceeds the Estimated Cost by twenty percent (20%), STANTON shall not award a contract to the

b. At least thirty (30) calendar days prior to release of the Notice Inviting Bids for the PROJECT, STANTON'S City Engineer shall provide GARDEN GROVE's City Engineer a copy of the PROJECT's plans and specifications for his approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. If GARDEN GROVE's City Engineer objects to the plans and specifications, and if his objections cannot be satisfied through discussions with STANTON'S City Engineer, the GG PORTION shall not be included in the PROJECT and STANTON shall proceed with the STANTON PORTION only.
c. STANTON agrees that it shall not permit nor cause any hazardous materials to be brought upon, kept, used, stored, generated or disposed of in, or, or about the GARDEN GROVE PORTION.

STANTON shall ensure that its contract with the Successful Contractor requires the Successful Contractor provide insurance acceptable to GARDEN GROVE as shown in Exhibit "B," to name GARDEN GROVE as an additional insured, and to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless GARDEN GROVE in the same manner and to the same extent as STANTON. STANTON shall not permit construction of any portion of the PROJECT to commence until evidence of the required insurance and additional insured endorsements have been provided to and approved by GARDEN GROVE.

2. GARDEN GROVE'S DUTIES
a. GARDEN GROVE shall pay STANTON for the actual cost of the work on the GG PORTION based upon unit prices bid of the Successful Contractor and quantities actually used on the GG PORTION. GARDEN GROVE shall pay STANTON the total amount due for the GG PORTION upon official final approval of the work by GARDEN GROVE provided that such final approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Garden Grove shall render payment to Stanton for the full amount of the Garden Grove Portion within 60 days of providing official final approval of the work.
b. GARDEN GROVE agrees that any permits required by the Successful Contractor for the work to be performed on the GG PORTION shall be issued to the Successful Contractor at no cost to STANTON or the Successful Contractor.

Page 2 of 7 ends

d. GARDEN GROVE agrees to fully cooperate with STANTON and the Successful Contractor in the prosecution of the work, traffic control, and any other matters required for completion of the PROJECT in the GG PORTION.
e. GARDEN GROVE acknowledges that STANTON is not the contractor for the PROJECT and that STANTON does not warrant any work performed by the Successful Contractor. Notwithstanding the above, STANTON shall require the Successful Contractor to provide GARDEN GROVE with any and all warranties, insurance coverage, and indemnities and any other rights the Successful Contractor agrees to provide to STANTON under the construction contract and as provided by law.

REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
DATE: August 22, 2023
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF SECOND AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT FOR TREE

MAINTENANCE, PLANTING, AND REMOVAL SERVICES
REPORT IN BRIEF:

Great Scott Tree Service (GSTS) has been trimming and maintaining the City’s trees since 2011. The term of the current agreement is July 1, 2018 to June 30, 2024. The current not-to-exceed annual compensation is $90,000 and the total contract not-toexceed compensation is $480,000, as established in the First Amendment approved on June 28, 2022. Based on GSTS’s satisfactory service and competitive rates, staff is recommending a second amendment to extend the term of the Agreement to June 30, 2026, increase the annual not-to-exceed compensation to $100,000, and increase the total contract not-to-exceed compensation to $780,000.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

1. City Council declare this project to be categorically exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act, Class 1, Section 15301(h) as maintenance of existing landscaping; and

3. Authorize the City Manager to execute the Second Amendment to the existing Agreement with Great Scott Tree Service.

BACKGROUND:

On February 12, 2018, the City issued a Request for Proposal for tree trimming and removal services in the City. Four bids were received for these services on February 26, 2018 and are listed below:

Item: 9H
Click here to return to the agenda.
2 # Contractor Base Bid
1 West Coast Arborists $138,000
2 Great Scott Tree Service $68,765
3 Mariposa Landscapes, Inc. $100,215
4 Bright View $77,325
Based on a review of the proposals, GSTS was awarded a four-year service contract with a term from July 1, 2018 to June 30, 2022. The Agreement allows for one (1) two-year extension at the same proposed annual cost.

On June 28, 2022, the Council approved the First Amendment to the contract which extended the term through June 30, 2024, increased the total compensation, and increased the rates of compensation under the Agreement.

ANALYSIS/JUSTIFICATION:

The First Amendment states that total compensation cannot exceed $90,000 annually, and $480,000 over the term of the Agreement. Currently, the City has compensated GSTS a total of $468,711 for their services over the term of the Agreement. As such, the not-to-exceed amount must be increased so that services provided for Fiscal Year 2023/2024 can be compensated.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, much of the City’s tree trimming services were halted, which led to a significant backlog of service. The City has also seen an increase in demand for tree trimming. Additionally, staff has been actively planting more trees within residential parkways in order to promote beautification and greenery within neighborhoods.

Based upon their satisfactory service and competitive rates, staff is recommending a Second Amendment to the Agreement which would extend the term through June 30, 2026 and increase the annual not-to-exceed amount from $90,000 to $100,000 ($10,000 increase) and increase the total not-to-exceed amount from $480,000 to $780,000 ($300,000 increase, three times the annual amount) over the term of the Agreement. This allows staff, if a surplus exists in any given year, to perform additional trimming within the limits of the adopted Fiscal Year 2023/2024 Operating Budget.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The adopted Fiscal Year 2023/2024 Operating Budget includes sufficient funds for these services through June 30, 2024. Funding for the additional out years will be proposed as part of the budget development process for Fiscal Years 2024/2025 and 2025/2026. 3 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:

This project is categorically exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act, Class 1, Section 15301(h) as maintenance of existing landscaping.

EXHIBIT A

TASKS TO BE PERFORMED
Provide Tree Maintenance services as described in the Request for Proposal dated February 12, 2018.
10 See attached proposal.

EXHIBIT B

FEE PROPOSAL
11 Insurance procured pursuant to these requirements shall be written by insurers that are admitted carriers in the state of California and with an AM. Bests rating of A or better and a minimum financial size VII.

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. Proof of compliance with these insurance requirements, consisting of certificates of insurance evidencing all of the coverages required and an additional insured endorsement to Consultant's general liability policy, shal l be delivered to City at or prior to the execution of this Agreement. In the event such proof of any insurance is not delivered as required, or in the event such insurance is canceled at any time and no replacement coverage is provided, City has the right, but not the duty, to obtain any 13 insurance it deems necessary to protect its interests under this or any other agreement and to pay the premium. Any premium so paid by City shall be charged to and promptly paid by Consultant or deducted from sums due Consultant, at City option.

8. Certificate(s) are to reflect that the insurer will provide 30 days notice to City of any cancellation of coverage. Consultant agrees to require its insurer to modify such certificates to delete any exculpatory wording stating that failure of the insurer to mail written notice of cancellation imposes no obligation, or that any party will "endeavor'' (as opposed to being required) to comply with the requirements of the certificate.

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.

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

11. 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 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 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.

17. 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 all-inclusive.

19. 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. 15 22. Consultant agrees to provide immediate notice to City of any claim or loss against Consultant arising out of the work performed under this Agreement. 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.

INVOICING/ WORK HISTORY
TrimIT dynamically creates, stores & tracks invoices, proposals, contact information & invent01y of all the properties that Great Scott services. In addition to accounting; Quickbooks, a line of business accounting software is used to manage the customer's balances. The most difficult task for the person responsible for tree care is maintaining accurate work history records. TrimIT will give you the ability to maintain work history on each individual tree. The work history includes, the date work was performed, the type of work and the total cost. The true challenge in tree management is locating trees in an open space environment. Trees in a golf course, park, apartment complex, school ground, etc. are difficult to identify using a standard tabular database program. By applying the mapping component to the database the functionality increases exponentially.

INTRODUCTION - Great Scott Tree Service, Inc. is a full-service operation equipped and qualified to provide you with the best solutions for all of your tree maintenance needs. GSTS will deliver a level of quality that meets or exceeds the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) standards. We are dedicated to providing tree services that results in a neat, clean and attractive appearance to trees and associated sites serviced. Below is an overview of the most common tree maintenance services that we can provide.

TREE PRUNING is performed when conditions within the crown of a hardwood tree are such that the entire tree needs to be fully pruned. Complete pruning is recommended when the primary objective is to maintain or improve tree health and structure, and includes pruning to reduce overall canopy mass and excessive wood weight. A Full Prune typically consists of one or more of the following pruning treatments:
• Crown Cleaning or cleaning out is the removal of dead, diseased, crowded, weakly attached and lowvigor branches and water sprouts from the entirety of the tree crown. • Crown Reduction is used to reduce the height and/or spread of a tree. Crown reduction varies from topping, a destructive practice, in that cuts are not made indiscriminately, resulting in large stubbed off limbs that are subject to decay.
• Crown Restoration is corrective pruning used as a means to restore the form of crowns that have been previously damaged by extenuating circumstances. This treatment is best performed by tree workers who have a good understanding of the effects of pruning for the cultivation of tree canopies. • Crown Thinning includes crown cleaning and the selective removal of branches to increase light penetration and air movement into and through the crown. Increased light and air stimulates and maintains interior foliage, which in turn improves branch taper and strength. Thinning reduces the wind-sail effect of the crown and the weight of heavy limbs.

SERVICE REQUEST PRUNING - At the discretion of City Staff, service requests can be submitted directly through our web vendor portal or through your dedicated supervisor. City Representatives will have the option, at their convenience, to schedule a vendor portal training seminar where they will learn how to create and track service requests, view upcoming and ongoing jobs, and track overall work history in both GIS map form as well as printable invoice / work history form. Once a request has been submitted City Staffwi11 receive itemized service proposals for review and approval.

Regardless of the preferred submittal methods our firm can and will mobilize I deploy crews in any timeline that best fits the City Representative's expectations and needs. It is our intention to work directly with City Staff in providing a level of flexibility to allow for all ranges of response time including, planned project schedules, non-emergency, and emergency requests.

TREE PLANTING - Great Scott Tree Service along with Elite Nursery will coordinate any planting needs. Elite Nursery is a subsidiary of Great Scott Tree Service and has a 3-acre parcel of land in the City of Stanton that is used for growing grounds. Elite nursery is fully functional and can grow specialty trees, as well as, purchase other types of trees depending on availability and size. Prior to planting GSTS can assess the planting site and provide the City with a Recommended Planting Guide which will include an outline of viable replanting options and will include detailed description sheets of each species included.

Planting palettes will always be determined by our ISA Certified Arborists after a carefully consideration of the planting site area size, probability of successful establishment, cohesive aesthetics to the immediate surrounding area, and the City's general development goals. Upon approval from the City's authorized representative, GSTS will coordinate pul'chasing and planting operations. Our planting team will conduct all soil preparation, tree installation, and backfill to ISA standards, ANSI A3 00 standards, and City specifications.

TREE REMOVAL consists of the removal of the entirety of a hardwood tree or palm tree and the removal of its root system. Removals will be completed per monthly lists or individual service requests submitted by the City's authorized representative. With advanced notice GSTS will identify the location of all utilities and private property landscape irrigation components prior to the removal of a tree and its root system. GSTS will maintain control of the tree and its parts at all times; branches, limbs and trunk sections will be carefully lowered to the ground so as to avoid damage of any type caused by free-falling items. Immediately following the removal, stumps, including the root flare and surface roots shall be ground to a depth in accordance with ANSI 2133 Standards and City of Stanton Specifications.

EMERGENCY SERVICES - Great Scott Tree Service, Inc. understands the importance of a timely response in the event of emergencies within the City. Our unique customer base along with our strategic market plan allows our work crews to be centrally located in the Los Angeles County Area. This allows for prompt responses in the event of emergencies. We utilize a twenty-four (24) hour emergency hotline which is routed to our area manager and crew leaders who will immediately respond during normal business hours of operation, after-hours, weekends and holidays. Great Scott Tree Service, Inc. has a superb record in regards to the prompt response to emergency call outs. We have auxiliary staff that can respond to tree related emergency situations ranging from limbs down on a single tree to large scale storm related damage requiring the commitment of significant resources and staffing levels for several days. Response time for emergency and after-hours tree service requests will never be greater than one (1) hour. Our response team will never leave until a site has been safely cleared of all tree related hazards.

GREEN WASTE RECYCLING - Great Scott Tree Service Inc. 's dedication to being a responsible corporate citizen is demonstrated in its Green Waste Recycling Program. We realize the importance of investing in our future and protecting our resources. Unless specified otherwise, we divert all of our green waste to recycling centers, instead of the traditional landfills. We have partnered with California's top rated bio-fuel power plant; Colmac Energy Inc. located in Mecca, California.

Green Waste Bio-Fuels - is investing in the future and protecting our resources by producing reliable green energy. Colmac Energy has demonstrated that biomass plants using urban wood wastes as fuel (such as those that result from, right-of-way tree trimmings, and other chipped wood wastes) can generate significant environmental benefits, including reduced air pollutants from open-air burning and lowered demand for landfill space. "Time has proven that the low emissions of the plant, and the collection of citrus and vineyard pruning's and removals that would otherwise be open-burned, has essentially eliminated open-burning and the associated air pollution" Mulch - is a layer of material applied to the surface of an area of soil. Its purpose is to conserve moisture, improve the fertility and health of the soil, reduce weed growth, and to enhance the visual appeal of the area. GSTS processes a large amount of its tree debris as mulch for use in mulching projects and we offer to provide your organization with mulch, at no cost for the duration of the tree maintenance agreement.
