2. Stale checks which are $15.00 and under will be voided when they are more than one hundred eighty days (180) past the check issue date. The funds will be returned to the City account from which the check was issued and does not require publication of a notice in the newspaper (Gov. Code Section 50055).

3. Stale checks which are $15.01 and over will remain on the outstanding check list for three years. After three years from the check date, if the check remains unclaimed, the check may become the property of the City, after notice is given to potential claimants (Gov. Code Section 50050). Any time after three years, the City’s Finance Director may publish a notice once a week for two successive weeks in a local newspaper of general circulation. Notice must state the fund in which it is held, the Payee Name and the amount that will become the property of the City on a designated date between forty-five (45) and sixty (60) days after the first publication of the notice (Gov. Code Section 50051).

4. Before or after the notice, and before the date the unclaimed money becomes the City’s property, any interested party may file a claim for the money with the City’s Finance Department (Gov. Code Section 50052). The claimant must complete the Unclaimed Money Claim Form which includes the claimant’s name, address, amount of the claim, the grounds on which the claim is founded, and any other information that the Finance Department requires.

5. The Finance Director may either accept or reject the claim. However, even if the procedures listed above are not followed, the Finance Director has the discretion, upon submission of satisfactory proof to the Finance Director, to release unclaimed money to the depositor of the unclaimed money or their heirs, beneficiaries, or duly appointed representatives, if the money is claimed before it becomes the City’s property (Gov. Code Section 50052.5).

6. If the Finance Director rejects the claim, the claimant may file a verified complaint to the Taft City Council to recover the funds. A copy of that complaint must be filed with the City Clerk within thirty (30) days of receiving notice that the claim was rejected. When a complaint has been filed, the Finance Department must withhold the unclaimed money until the City Council renders its decision.

7. If the money is located in a special fund, the City Council may transfer the money to the General Fund (Gov. Code Section 50053).

8. Although it is not required by statue, it is advisable for the City to notice a public hearing before the City Council before acquiring the unclaimed checks. This will give the owners of the funds one final opportunity to be heard before the City acquires the funds.

City of Taft Agenda Report
DATE: May 6, 2025
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS
AGENDA MATTER:

UPDATING AND ESTABLISHING USER AND REGULATORY FEES
SUMMARY STATEMENT:

The City completed a comprehensive study in December 2022 to identify the cost of providing various user and regulatory fee-related services. As part of the study, a consolidated schedule of fees was prepared and adopted by the City Council. The resolution adopting the current fee schedule directed that fees may be increased annually, each July 1, based on the annual change in the all-urban Consumer Price Index for Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA (CPI). If the CPI does not change or goes down in a given year, no change shall be made to the fee schedule for that year unless an adjustment is made to cost recovery levels or fee study findings indicate that an adjustment is appropriate. The fee schedule proposed for adoption for the period July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026, reflects the 3.3% annual change in CPI.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Direct staff to apply the regional cost inflation factor of 3.3% and proceed with the Fiscal Year 2025/26 fee schedule update as presented and find that the activity is not a project per the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as set forth in Section 15060(c)(3) and Section 15378 of the CEQA Guidelines.

Determination of Valuation for Fee-Setting Purposes
● Project valuations shall be based on the total value of all construction work, including all finish work, roofing, electrical, plumbing, heating, air conditioning, elevators, fire-extinguishing systems and any other permanent equipment. If, in the opinion of the Building Official, the valuation is underestimated on the application, the permit shall be denied, unless the applicant can show detailed estimates to meet the approval of the Building Official. Final building permit valuation shall be set by the Building Official. For determining project valuations for new construction, the Building Official may use data published by the International Code Council (ICC) (building valuation data table, typically updated in February and August of each year). The final building permit valuation shall be set at an amount that allows the City to recover its costs of applicant plan check, permit and inspection activities.

Note: For construction projects with permit fees calculated using Section B, additional fees apply for permit issuance. Additional fees may apply for services provided by other City Departments (e.g. Planning Review), Technology Enhancement Fees, and Fees Collected on Behalf of Other Agencies (e.g. State of California). Additional fees apply for plan review, when applicable.

Dear Mr. Jones:

PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
Wallace Group appreciates the opportunity to provide you with our proposal for Water Resources services for the above-referenced project. Based on our discussion, the following Scope of Services has been prepared for your consideration:

SCOPE OF SERVICES
Task 1: Project Management & Meetings
This task includes coordination of project activities, including scheduling and budget controls, Client coordination, quality control, and other related project management activities. This task estimates two kickoff meetings. SSMP Audit site meeting and SSMP Update site meeting.

Task 2: Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP) Audit
Task Understanding: The State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) established new Statewide General Wastewater Discharge Requirements (WDR) for Sanitary Sewer Systems.

WDR Order No. 2022-0103-DWQ requires all public entities that own or operate sanitary sewer systems greater than one mile in length in California to create, implement, and maintain a SSMP.

WDR Order No. 2022-0103-DWQ requires all agencies to conduct an audit of their SSMP and create an audit report as specified below:

The Enrollee shall conduct an internal audit of its Sewer System Management Plan, and implementation of its Plan, at a minimum frequency of once every three years.

The audit must be conducted for the period after the end of the Enrollee’s last required audit period. Within six months after the end of the required 3-year audit period, the Legally Responsible Official shall submit an audit report into the online CIWQS Sanitary Sewer System Database per the requirements in section 3.10 (Sewer System Management Plan Audit Reporting Requirements) of Attachment E1 of the General Order.

The internal audit shall be appropriately scaled to the size of the system(s) and the number of spills. The Enrollee’s sewer system operators must be involved in completing the audit. At minimum, the audit must:
o Evaluate the implementation and effectiveness of the Enrollee’s Sewer System Management Plan in preventing spills;
o Evaluate the Enrollee’s compliance with this General Order; o Identify Sewer System Management Plan deficiencies in addressing ongoing PP25-8445
City of Taft

Page 2 of 8 ends

spills and discharges to waters of the State; and
o Identify necessary modifications to the Sewer System Management Plan to correct deficiencies.

The Enrollee shall submit a complete audit report that includes:
o Audit findings and recommended corrective actions;
o A statement that sewer system operators’ input on the audit findings has been considered; and
o A proposed schedule for the Enrollee to address the identified deficiencies.

Task Description: Wallace Group will audit the City’s SSMP, dated 2023 as required by WDR Order No. 2022-0103-DWQ, Wallace Group will work directly with Taft staff to perform the audit. The SSMP Audit process will consist of the following:
• Audit Period and Audit Due Date: the Audit period will be from 5/2/22 to 5/2/25 with Audit Report due for upload to CIWQS by 11/2/25; and
• An evaluation of the effectiveness of each of the eleven (11) SSMP elements as a tool for managing the City’s sewer collection system; and
• An assessment of City compliance with SSMP/WDR requirements which included identification of any deficiencies in the SSMP and a plan and schedule to correct them. • Documentations for interviews/input from Operations Staff; and • Recommendations and schedule for corrective actions to address deficiencies identified in the SSMP Audit Report.

The SSMP Audit Report is required to be uploaded in CIWQS by 11/2/25. The SSMP Audit Report must be signed by a Legally Responsible Official and be maintained on file at the Taft office for future reference by any SWRCB representative that may request it.

Task 2 Deliverables:
• SSMP Audit Report, Draft and Final (one (1) PDF of Report)

We propose conducting the SSMP Audit and beginning the SSMP Audit Report at City offices as our experience in auditing other SSMP Enrollees shows this is the most efficient and effective method of retrieving documents to complete the SSMP Audit and issue the report.

We recommend that appropriate Taft staff be made available during the day of the audit.

Staff with SSMP responsibilities are required to participate in the Audit process. Participation will be documented in the Audit Report.

Wallace Group anticipates holding the Audit Kickoff Meeting described above on a date that conforms with the City’s availability after May 2nd. Wallace Group will work diligently to provide the City with a draft Audit Report within eight (8) weeks of the Audit Kickoff Meeting. A final Audit report will be issued two (2) weeks after all City comments are received. An initial SSMP Audit records and data request will be issued to the City to assist the City to organize required Audit data prior to the kickoff meeting.

TO BE PROVIDED BY THE CLIENT
• To Be Determined, a detailed data and records request of collection system reports and records will be sent to the City upon receipt of notice-to-proceed. • Management, Engineering and O&M Staff availability for input for the Audit process.

Task 3: SSMP Update
Task Understanding: The State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) established Statewide General Wastewater Discharge Requirements (GWDR) for Sanitary Sewer Systems, Orders No. 2006-0003-DWQ and revised Monitoring and Reporting Program WQ 2013-0058-EXEC, which required all public entities that own or operate sanitary sewer systems greater than one mile in length in California to create, implement, and maintain a SSMP. Recently adopted WDR Order No. 2022-0103-DWQ requires all agencies to develop and update their SSMP as described below:

WDR Order No. 2022-0103-DWQ:

To facilitate adequate local funding and management of its sanitary sewer system(s), the Enrollee shall develop and implement an updated Sewer System Management Plan. The scale and complexity of the Sewer System Management Plan, and specific elements of the Plan, must match the size, scale and complexity of the Enrollee’s sanitary sewer system(s). The Sewer System Management Plan must address, at minimum, the required Plan elements in Attachment D (Sewer System Management Plan – Required Elements) of this General Order. To be effective, the PP25-8445
City of Taft
April 7, 2025

Page 4 of 8 ends

Sewer System Management Plan must include procedures for the management, operation, and maintenance of the sanitary sewer system(s). The procedures must:
(1) incorporate the prioritization of system repairs and maintenance to proactively prevent spills, and (2) address the implementation of current standard industry practices through available equipment, technologies, and strategies.

Wallace Group will update each of the eleven (11) elements of the City’s SSMP.

Wallace Group Staff will work collaboratively with City staff to develop the SSMP and to obtain any additional materials and documentation necessary for completion. The SSMP will be formatted to clearly identify sections and sub-sections of documents to applicable GWDRs. Appendices with reference materials will be included for each Element of the SSMP as applicable.

The table below summarizes the scope of the recommended update:

Contract Agreement Date: April 7, 2025
CLIENT: CITY OF TAFT
209 E. Kern Street, Taft, California 93268
CONSULTANT: WALLACE GROUP, A CALIFORNIA CORPORATION
612 Clarion Court, San Luis Obispo, California 93401
CLIENT and CONSULTANT agree that these Standard Terms and Conditions, comprised of pages 1 through 6, and the associated written Scope of Services and budget constitute the entire Agreement between the CLIENT and the CONSULTANT. It supersedes all prior communications, understandings and agreements, whether oral or written. Amendments to this Agreement must be in writing and signed by both the CLIENT and the CONSULTANT.

ARTICLE 1. GENERAL PROVISIONS

1.1 Preamble
This Agreement is based upon a mutual obligation of good faith and fair dealing between the parties in its performance and enforcement. Accordingly, the CLIENT and the CONSULTANT, with a positive commitment to honesty and integrity, agree to the following:

That each will function within the laws and statutes that apply to its duties and responsibilities; that each will assist in the other’s performance; that each will avoid hindering the other’s performance; that each will work diligently to fulfill its obligations; and each will cooperate in the common endeavor of the contract.

1.2 Governing Law and Jurisdiction
The CLIENT and the CONSULTANT agree that this Agreement and any legal actions concerning its validity, interpretation and performance shall be governed by the laws of the State of California. It is further agreed that any legal action between the CLIENT and the CONSULTANT arising out of this Agreement or the performance of the services shall be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in San Luis Obispo, California.

1.3 Precedence of Conditions
Should any conflict exist between the terms herein and the form of any purchase order or confirmation issued, the Terms and Conditions herein shall prevail in the absence of CONSULTANT’S express written consent of others conditions.

1.4 Standard of Care
In providing services under this Agreement, the CONSULTANT will endeavor to perform said services in a manner consistent with that degree of care and skill ordinarily exercised by members of the same profession currently practicing under similar circumstances.

1.5 Corporate Protection
It is intended by the parties to this Agreement that the CONSULTANT’S services in connection with the Project shall not subject the CONSULTANT’S individual employees, officers or directors to any personal legal exposure for the risks associated with this Project. Therefore, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the CLIENT agrees that as the CLIENT’S sole and exclusive remedy, any claim, demand or suit shall be directed and/or asserted only against the CONSULTANT, a California corporation, and not against any of the CONSULTANT’S individual employees, officers or directors.

1.6 Confidentiality
The CONSULTANT agrees to keep confidential and not to disclose to any person or entity, other than the CONSULTANT’S employees, Subconsultants and the general Contractor and Subcontractors, if appropriate, any data or information not previously known to and generated by the CONSULTANT or furnished to the CONSULTANT and marked CONFIDENTIAL by the CLIENT. These provisions shall not apply to information in whatever form that is in the public domain, nor shall it restrict the CONSULTANT from giving notices required by law or complying with an order to provide information or data when such order is issued by a court, administrative agency or other legitimate authority, or if disclosure is reasonably necessary for the CONSULTANT to defend itself from any legal action or claim.

1.7 Third-Party Beneficiaries
Nothing contained in this Agreement shall create a contractual relationship with or a cause of action in favor of a third party against either the CLIENT or the CONSULTANT. The CONSULTANT’S services under this Agreement are being performed solely for the CLIENT’S benefit, and no other party or entity shall have any claim against the CONSULTANT because of this Agreement or the performance or nonperformance of services hereunder. The CLIENT and CONSULTANT agree to require a similar provision in all contracts with Contractors, Subcontractors, Subconsultants, vendors and other entities involved in this Project to carry out the intent of this provision.

WALLACE GROUP Page 2 of 6

1.8 Timeliness of Performance
The CLIENT and CONSULTANT are aware that many factors outside the CONSULTANT’S control may affect the CONSULTANT’S ability to complete the services to be provided under this Agreement. The CONSULTANT will perform these services with reasonable diligence and expediency consistent with sound professional practices.

1.9 Severability
Any term or provision of this Agreement found to be invalid under any applicable statute or rule of law shall be deemed omitted and the remainder of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

1.10 Survival
Notwithstanding completion or termination of this Agreement for any reason, all rights, duties and obligations of the parties to this Agreement shall survive such completion or termination and remain in full force and effect until fulfilled.

1.11 Statutes of Repose and Limitation
All legal causes of action between the parties to this Agreement shall accrue and any applicable statutes of repose or limitation shall begin to run not later than the date of Substantial Completion. If the act or failure to act complained of occurs after the date of Substantial Completion, then the date of final completion shall be used, but in no event shall any statute of repose or limitation begin to run any later than the date the CONSULTANT’S services are completed or terminated.

1.12 Defects in Service
The CLIENT shall promptly report to the CONSULTANT any defects or suspected defects in the CONSULTANT’S services of which the CLIENT becomes aware, so that the CONSULTANT may take measures to minimize the consequences of such a defect. The CLIENT further agrees to impose a similar notification requirement on all Contractors in its CLIENT/Contractor contract and shall require all subcontracts at any level to contain a like requirement. Failure by the CLIENT and the CLIENT’S Contractors or Subcontractors to notify the CONSULTANT shall relieve the CONSULTANT of the costs or remedying the defects above the sum such remedy would have cost had prompt notification been given when such defects were first discovered.

1.13 Jobsite Safety
Neither the professional activities of the CONSULTANT, nor the presence of the CONSULTANT or its employees or Subconsultants at a construction/project site, shall relieve the General Contractor of its obligations, duties and responsibilities including, but not limited to, constructions means, methods, sequence, techniques or procedures necessary for performing, superintending and coordinating the Work in accordance with contract documents and any health or safety precautions required by any regulatory agencies. The CONSULTANT and its personnel have no authority to exercise any control over any construction Contractor or its employees in connection with their work or any health or safety programs or procedures. The CLIENT agrees that the General Contractor shall be solely responsible for jobsite safety, and warrants that this intent shall be carried out in the CLIENT’S contract with the General Contractor. The CLIENT also agrees that the CLIENT, the CONSULTANT and the CONSULTANT’S Subconsultants shall be indemnified by the General Contractor and shall be made additional insured under the General Contractor’s policies of general liability insurance.

1.14 Assignment: Subcontracting
Neither CLIENT nor CONSULTANT shall assign its interest in this agreement without the written consent of the other.

CONSULTANT may not subcontract any portion of the work to be performed hereunder without such consent.

1.15 Force Majeure
Any delay or default in the performance of any obligation of CONSULTANT under this agreement resulting from any cause(s) beyond CONSULTANT'S reasonable control shall not be deemed a breach of this agreement. The occurrence of any such event shall suspend the obligations of CONSULTANT as long as performance is delayed or prevented thereby, and the fees due hereunder shall be equitably adjusted.

1.16 Disputes
(a) Not withstanding any other provision of this Agreement and except for the provisions of (b) and (c), if a dispute arises regarding CONSULTANT'S fees pursuant to this contract, and if the fee dispute cannot be settled by discussions between CLIENT and CONSULTANT, both the CLIENT and CONSULTANT agree to attempt to settle the fee dispute by mediation through the American Arbitration Association (or other mediation service) before recourse to arbitration. If mediation does not resolve the fee dispute, such dispute shall be settled by binding arbitration in accordance with the Construction Industry Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, and judgment upon the award rendered by the Arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
(b) Subdivision (a) does not preclude or limit CONSULTANT’S right to elect to file an action for collection of fees if the amount in dispute is within the jurisdiction of the small claims court. (c) Subdivision (a) does not preclude or limit CONSULTANT’S right to elect to perfect or enforce applicable mechanics lien remedies.

1.17 Attorneys’ Fees
In the event of any litigation arising from or related to this Agreement or the services provided under this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the non-prevailing party all reasonable costs incurred, including staff time, court costs, attorneys’ fees and all other related expenses in such litigation.

WALLACE GROUP Page 3 of 6

CLIENT shall pay all other charges not specifically covered by the terms of this agreement, unless specifically included in the Scope of Services. The CLIENT shall furnish, at the CLIENT’S expense, all information required by this Agreement. The CONSULTANT may use such information, requirements, reports, data, surveys and instructions in performing its services and is entitled to rely upon the accuracy and completeness thereof.

1.19 Retention
If any portion of CONSULTANT’S fee is held in retention, such amount shall be released within thirty days after invoicing for completion of corresponding services. Interest shall be paid at the rate of 1.5% per month on any retention amounts not paid within this thirty-day period.

Burdened labor costs shown on the Standard Billing Rates include payroll taxes, worker’s compensation insurance, and other overhead costs applicable to the typical standard of care.

ARTICLE 3. COMPENSATION

3.1 Payment Due
Invoices shall be submitted by the CONSULTANT monthly, are due upon presentation and shall be considered past due if not paid in full within thirty (30) days of the invoice date.

3.2 Interest
If payment in full is not received by the CONSULTANT within thirty (30) calendar days of the invoice date, the invoices shall bear interest at one-and-one-half (1.5) percent (or the maximum rate allowable by law, whichever is less) of the past due amount per month, which shall be calculated from the invoice due date. Payment thereafter shall first be applied to accrued interest and then to the unpaid principal.

3.3 Collection Costs
If the CLIENT fails to make payments when due and the CONSULTANT incurs any costs in order to collect overdue sums from the CLIENT, the CLIENT agrees that all such collection costs incurred shall immediately become due and payable to the CONSULTANT. Collection costs shall include, without limitation, legal fees, collection agency fees and expenses, court costs, collection bonds and reasonable CONSULTANT staff costs at Standard Billing Rates for the CONSULTANT’S time spent in efforts to collect. This obligation of the CLIENT to pay the CONSULTANT’S collection costs shall survive the term of this Agreement or any earlier termination by either party.

3.4 Termination or Suspension of Services
This agreement may be terminated or suspended by either party effective seven (7) days from the date of written notice, or if the CLIENT suspends the work for three (3) months. Upon receipt of a notice of termination or suspension, CONSULTANT will stop or suspend its work and provide same direction for the work of all its Subcontractors and suppliers. Failure of CLIENT to make payments when due shall be cause for suspension of services or ultimately, termination, unless and until CONSULTANT has been paid in full all amounts due for services, expenses and other approved related charges. CONSULTANT shall have no liability whatsoever to the CLIENT for any costs or damages as a result of such suspension or termination caused by any breach of this Agreement by the CLIENT. Upon payment-in-full by the CLIENT, CONSULTANT shall resume services under this Agreement, and the time schedule and compensation shall be equitably adjusted to compensate for the period of suspension plus any reasonable time and expense necessary for the CONSULTANT to resume performance.

3.5 Retention Discounts

Payment to the CONSULTANT for services rendered and expenses incurred shall be due and payable regardless of any subsequent suspension or termination of this Agreement by either party.

3.7 Disputed Invoices
If the CLIENT objects to any portion of any invoice, the CLIENT shall so notify the CONSULTANT in writing within ten (10) days of receipt of the invoice. The CLIENT shall identify in writing the specific cause of the disagreement and the amount in dispute and shall pay that portion of the invoice not in dispute in accordance with the other payment terms of this Agreement. Any dispute over invoiced amounts due which cannot be resolved within thirty (30) calendar days after presentation of invoice by direct negotiation between the parties shall be resolved within forty-five (45) calendar days in accordance with the Dispute WALLACE GROUP Page 4 of 6

CONSULTANT, without any liability to CLIENT, reserves the right to withhold any services and work products herein contemplated pending payment of CLIENT'S outstanding indebtedness or advance payment as required by CONSULTANT. Where work is performed on a reimbursable basis, budget may be increased by amendment to complete the Scope of Services.

CONSULTANT is not obligated to provide services in excess of the authorized budget.

ARTICLE 4. SERVICES, ADDITIONAL SERVICES, AND AMENDMENTS

4.1 Definitions
Services and work products not expressly included with those specified in this agreement, as determined by CONSULTANT, are not covered by this agreement. Such services and work products will be provided only upon compliance with the procedures set forth in Article 4.5 of this Agreement.

4.2 Services During Construction
Any construction inspection or testing provided by CONSULTANT is for the purpose of determining the Contractor's compliance with the functional provisions of the project specifications only. CONSULTANT in no way guarantees or insures Contractor's work nor assumes responsibility for methods or appliances used by the Contractor for job site safety or for Contractor's compliance with laws and regulations. CLIENT agrees that in accordance with generally accepted construction practices the construction Contractor will be required to assume sole and complete responsibility for job site conditions during the course of construction of the project including safety of all persons and property and that this responsibility shall be continuous and not be limited to normal working hours.

4.3 Soil Testing
CONSULTANT makes no representations concerning soil conditions, and is not responsible for any liability that may arise out of the making or failure to make soil surveys, or sub-surface soil tests, or general soil testing. It is the CLIENT’S responsibility to obtain a soils report upon which report CONSULTANT can rely.

4.4 Opinion of Probable Construction Costs
In providing opinions of probable construction cost, the CLIENT understands that the CONSULTANT has no control over cost or availability of labor, equipment or materials, or over market conditions or the Contractor’s method of pricing, and that the CONSULTANT’S opinions of probable construction costs are made on the basis of the CONSULTANT’S professional judgment and experience. CONSULTANT makes no warranty, express or implied, that bids or negotiated cost of the Work will not vary from the CONSULTANT’S opinion of probable construction cost.

4.5 Additional Services
Additional services or work products requiring an adjustment of CONSULTANT'S original estimated budget or fixed fee will be provided at CLIENT'S request upon execution of a written amendment to this agreement expressly referring to the same and signed by both parties.

CONSULTANT will use reasonable efforts to minimize such additional charges.

WALLACE GROUP Page 5 of 6
ARTICLE 6. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY: WAIVER: WARRANTY

6.1 Limitation of Liability
In recognition of the relative risks and benefits of the project to both the CLIENT and the CONSULTANT, the risks have been allocated such that the CLIENT agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to limit the liability of the CONSULTANT to the CLIENT for any and all claims, losses, costs, damages of any nature whatsoever or claims expenses from any cause or causes, including attorneys’ fees and costs and expert-witness fees and costs, so that the total aggregate liability of the CONSULTANT to the CLIENT shall not exceed $50,000.00, or the CONSULTANT’S total fee for services rendered on this project, whichever is greater. It is intended that this limitation apply to any and all liability or cause of action however alleged or arising, unless otherwise prohibited by law. CONSULTANT retains a current professional liability insurance policy that covers the licensed professional in responsible charge of the services provided under this contract.

6.2 Contractor and Subcontractor Claims
The CLIENT further agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to limit the liability of the CONSULTANT and the CONSULTANT’s officers, directors, partners, employees and Subconsultants to all construction Contractors and Subcontractors on the Project for any and all claims, losses, damages of any nature whatsoever or claims expenses from any cause or causes, including attorneys’ fees and costs and expert witness fees and costs, so that the total aggregate liability of the CONSULTANT and the CONSULTANT’s Subconsultants to all those named shall not exceed $50,000.00, or the CONSULTANT’s total fee for services rendered on this Project, whichever is greater. It is intended that this limitation apply to any and all liability or cause of action however alleged or arising, unless otherwise prohibited by law.

6.3 Warranty
CONSULTANT makes no warranty, either express or implied, as to CONSULTANT’S findings, recommendations, specifications, or professional advice, except that the work was performed pursuant to generally accepted standards of practice in effect at the time of performance.

If, during the term of this Agreement, circumstances or conditions that were not originally contemplated by or known to the CONSULTANT are revealed, to the extent that they affect the Scope of Services, compensation, schedule, allocation of risks or other material terms of this Agreement, the CONSULTANT may call for renegotiation of appropriate portions of this Agreement. The CONSULTANT shall notify the CLIENT of the changed conditions necessitating renegotiation, and the CONSULTANT and the CLIENT shall promptly and in good faith enter into renegotiations of this Agreement to address the changed conditions. If terms cannot be agreed to, the parties agree that either party has the absolute right to terminate this Agreement, in accordance with the Termination Provision hereof.

If the Scope of Services pursuant to this agreement does not include on-site construction review, construction management, or other construction supervision for this project, or if subsequent to this agreement CLIENT retains other persons or entities to provide such services, CLIENT acknowledges that such services will be performed by others and CLIENT will defend, indemnify and hold CONSULTANT harmless from any and all claims arising from or resulting from the performance of such services by other persons or entities except claims caused by the sole negligence or willful misconduct of CONSULTANT; and from any and all claims arising from or resulting from clarifications, adjustments, modifications, discrepancies or other changes necessary to reflect changed field or other conditions, except claims caused by the sole negligence or willful misconduct of CONSULTANT.

6.4 Interpretation
Limitations on liability, waivers and indemnities in this Agreement are business understandings between the parties and shall apply to all legal theories of recovery, including breach of contract or warranty, breach of fiduciary responsibility, tort (including negligence), strict or statutory liability, or any other cause of action, provided that these limitations on liability, waivers and indemnities will not apply to any losses or damages that may be found by a trier of fact to have been caused by the CONSULTANT’S sole or gross negligence or the CONSULTANT’S willful misconduct. The parties also agree that the CLIENT will not seek damages in excess of the contractually agreed-upon limitations directly or indirectly through suites against other parties who may join the CONSULTANT as a third-party defendant. “Parties” means the CLIENT and the CONSULTANT, and their officers, directors, partners, employees, Subcontractors and Subconsultants.

6.5 Delays
The CLIENT agrees that the CONSULTANT is not responsible for damages arising directly or indirectly from any delays for causes beyond the CONSULTANT’S control. For purposes of this Agreement, such causes include, but are not limited to, strikes or other labor disputes; severe weather disruptions or other natural disasters; fires, riots, war or other emergencies or acts of God; failure of any government agency to act in a timely manner; failure of performance by the CLIENT of the CLIENT’S Contractors or CONSULTANT’S; or discovery of any hazardous substances or differing site conditions.

ARTICLE 7. HAZARDOUS WASTE MATERIALS

7.1 Liability
CONSULTANT hereby states and CLIENT hereby acknowledges that CONSULTANT has no professional liability insurance for claims arising out of the performance of or failure to perform professional services, including, but not limited to the preparation of reports, designs, drawings and specifications, related to the investigation, detection, abatement, replacement, use or specification, or removal of products, materials or processes containing substances including, but not limited to asbestos, toxic or hazardous waste, PCBs, combustible gases and materials, petroleum or radioactive materials (as each of these is defined in applicable federal statues) or any other substances under any conditions and in such quantities as would WALLACE GROUP Page 6 of 6
pose a substantial danger to persons or property exposed to such substances at or near the Project site. Accordingly, the CLIENT hereby agrees to bring no claim for negligence, breach of contract indemnity or otherwise against the CONSULTANT, its principals, employees, and agents if such claim, in any way, would involve the CONSULTANT’S services for the investigation, detection, abatement, replacement, use or specification, or removal of products, materials or processes containing asbestos, asbestos cement pipe, and/or hazardous waste materials. CLIENT further agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless CONSULTANT, its officers, directors, principals, employees and agents from any asbestos and/or hazardous waste material related claims that may be brought by third parties as a result of the services provided by the CONSULTANT pursuant to this agreement except claims caused by the sole negligence or willful misconduct of the CONSULTANT.

ARTICLE 8. OWNERSHIP AND REUSE OF DOCUMENTS

8.1 CONSULTANT Ownership
All original papers, documents, drawings, electronic media and other work product of CONSULTANT, and copies thereof, produced by CONSULTANT pursuant to this agreement shall remain the property of CONSULTANT and may be used by CONSULTANT without the consent of CLIENT. Upon request and payment of the costs involved, CLIENT is entitled to a copy of all papers, documents and drawings provided CLIENT'S account is paid current.

8.2 Document Reuse
In the event the CLIENT, the CLIENT’S Contractors or Subcontractors, or anyone for whom the CLIENT is legally liable makes or permits to be made any changes to any reports, plans specifications or other construction documents prepared by the CONSULTANT without obtaining the CONSULTANT’S prior written consent, the CLIENT shall assume full responsibility for the results of such changes. Therefore the CLIENT agrees to waive any claim against the CONSULTANT and to release the CONSULTANT from any liability arising directly or indirectly from such changes. In addition, the CLIENT agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to indemnify and hold harmless the CONSULTANT from any damages, liabilities or costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of defense, arising from such changes. In addition, the CLIENT agrees to include in any contracts for construction appropriate language that prohibits the Contractor or any Subcontractors of any tier from making any changes or modifications to the CONSULTANT’S construction documents without the prior written approval of the CONSULTANT and further requires the Contractor to indemnify both the CONSULTANT and the CLIENT from any liability or cost arising from such changes made without proper authorization.

8.3 Electronic Media Alteration and Reuse
Because CADD information stored in electronic form can be modified by other parties, intentionally or otherwise, without notice or indication of said modifications, CONSULTANT reserves the right to remove all indicia of its ownership and/or involvement in the material from each electronic medium not held in its possession. CLIENT shall retain copies of the work performed by CONSULTANT in CADD form only for information and use by CLIENT for the specific purpose for which CONSULTANT was engaged. Said materials shall not be used by CLIENT, or transferred to any other party, for use in other projects, additions to the current project, or any other purpose for which the material was not strictly intended by CONSULTANT without CONSULTANT'S express written permission. Unauthorized modification or reuse of the materials shall be at CLIENT'S sole risk, and CLIENT agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold CONSULTANT harmless, from all claims, injuries, damages, losses, expenses, and attorney's fees arising out of the unauthorized modification or use of these materials.

ARTICLE 9. CONDOMINIUM PROJECTS

9.1 Condominium Conversion
The CLIENT does not now expect this project will be converted into condominiums. Because this project will not be designed for condominium ownership, the CLIENT agrees that if, the CLIENT decides to convert the project into condominiums in the future, the CLIENT will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify and hold harmless the CONSULTANT, its officers, directors, employees, and sub-consultants (collectively, CONSULTANT) against all damages, liabilities or costs, including reasonable attorneys fees and defense costs, arising out of or in any way connected with the conversion to condominium ownership, except for the sole negligence or willful misconduct of the CONSULTANT.

AGENDA MATTER:

DONATION OF TWO GEM ELECTRIC VEHICLES TO THE WEST KERN OIL MUSEUM SUMMARY STATEMENT:

The City purchased four GEM electric vehicles in 2019 with money received from a 2018 San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (SJVAPCD) Public Benefit New Alternative Fuel Vehicle Grant. The GEM vehicles have served their useful life to our public works department, are considered depreciated and the life cycle of the grant has closed. The batteries and maintenance for these GEM’s has proven they are not cost worthy for the city to continue to try to maintain them.

The City has just received a new SJVAPCD grant to replace these GEM vehicles, and the 2019 GEMs are now considered disposable. One GEM is completely functional, and one GEM does not run but will be used for parts. The West Kern Oil Museum is a local non-profit, active in serving and improving the 93268 area. Donation of these GEMs will prove a public benefit in assisting the Museum with all that they do for our community.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Motion to adopt a resolution entitled A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TAFT APPROVING DONATION OF TWO (2) 2019 GEM ELECTRIC VEHICLES TO THE WEST KERN OIL MUSEUM AND ESTABLISHING PUBLIC BENEFIT and find that the activity is not a project per the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as set forth in Section 15060(c)(3) and Section 15378 of the CEQA Guidelines.

WHEREAS, these GEMs have served their useful life for the public works department, are considered depreciated and released by the grant; and
WHEREAS, the West Kern Oil Museum is a local 501C3 nonprofit who serves Taft and will gain great benefit from one fully functional GEM and parts from one GEM; and WHEREAS, assisting the museum with the donation of these vehicles can be proven a public benefit, as the museum is consistently active and working in the community, holding public events, and educating all those that visit on importance of oil and its history in Taft.

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TAFT:
1) That the City currently has two disposable GEM vehicles that it would like to donate to the West Kern Oil Museum; and
2) The West Kern Oil Museum will be receiving one working GEM vehicle and one nonworking GEM vehicle that will be used for parts. 3) Donation of these GEM Vehicles will prove a public benefit, as the museum is consistently active in the community, holds public events and educates those that visit on the importance of oil and its history in Taft.

AGREEMENT WITH CATALIS PAYMENTS, TECH TRANSACTION TECHNOLOGIES AND

WORLDPAY LLC
SUMMARY STATEMENT:

In 2008 the city began accepting credit cards but was limited to City Hall. Then in 2013 the city expanded our ability to accept credit cards at other locations including the Police Department, Animal Shelter and Transit Center. But we were still limited to only accepting Visa, MasterCard, Discover Card and Amex.

Catalis Payments will now allow the city to begin accepting additional payment methods, including Apple Pay, Google Wallet, plus online payments can be more easily accessed with automatic payment setup along with lower fees. The city will receive funds in our account the next day vs two to three days depending on the credit card used. The complete setup and training process is expected to take up to six months prior to going live. The city will need to purchase 3 EMV Devices to process the payments at each location at a cost of $350.00 each totaling $1,050.00 plus tax.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Motion to authorize the Finance Director to execute the Agreement with Catalis Payments, Tech Transaction Technologies and WorldPay LLC and Find that the activity is not a project per the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as set forth in Section 15060(c)(3) and Section 15378 of the CEQA Guidelines.
