Subject
Services Agreement with D2 (Squared) Industrial Services, LLC Recommendation
A. Find that the Proposed action is categorically exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review, in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15301, because the project consists of the maintenance of the existing cooling tower and involves negligible or no expansion of an existing use;
B. Approve and authorize the City Administrator to execute the Services Agreement with D2 (Squared) Industrial Services, LLC, in substantially the same form as submitted, for scaffolding services, in an amount not-to-exceed $210,642; and
C. Authorize a contingency amount of ten percent (10%) or $21,064.20 in the event of unforeseen services or related project expenses and grant authority to the City Administrator to issue amendments for an amount up to the contingency amount, if necessary.

Background
The Malburg Generating Station (MGS) consists of two Siemens Model SGT-800 Combustion Turbine Generators (CTGs) and one Siemens SST-700 Steam Turbine Generator (STG). The CTGs discharge waste heat into a Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG), which enhances overall efficiency. During major maintenance outages for these units, the use of qualified scaffolding services is crucial to maintain safe working conditions and provide access to critical components that require service. Scaffolding must be professionally installed to ensure secure access to elevated components, such as steam turbine valves and gas turbine hardware, as well as to create work shelters during overhauls.

In compliance with Vernon Municipal Code (VMC) Section 3.32.080, on September 4, 2025, staff issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for scaffolding services for MGS. The RFP was advertised on the City’s PlanetBids platform. The scope of services encompasses the design, erection, maintenance, and dismantling of scaffolding structures to allow staff to access elevated components such as Steam Turbine Valves, HRSG Catalyst, and Gas Turbine hardware, without compromising the integrity of surrounding equipment and adhering to safety protocols.

Proposal packages were received from four firms by the September 25, 2025 deadline. A qualified panel thoroughly examined the proposals based on professional qualifications (40%), cost and fees to the City (30%), references (20%), and responsiveness to the RFP (10%). Based on the evaluation process, the proposal submitted by D2 (Squared) Industrial Services, LLC (D2 Industrial) demonstrated a combination of expertise, understanding, experience, and a comprehensive approach that was best suited to fulfill the scope of services outlined in the RFP.

The proposal submitted by D2 Industrial ranked the highest score across the panel and was, therefore, deemed most qualified. D2 Industrial specializes in providing scaffolding services for the industrial and commercial sectors, ensuring that all scaffolding structures are safe and adhere to both State and Federal OSHA guidelines.

Staff recommends that the City Council approve a Services Agreement with D2 Industrial for .

scaffolding services for a total amount not-to-exceed $210,642. Additionally, staff recommends a contingency amount of ten percent (10%) or $21,064.20, to cover any unforeseen services or related project expenses, for a combined total not-to-exceed $231,706.20. Pursuant to VMC Section 3.32.030(A), City Council approval is required for the proposed agreement, as the total value of the contract exceeds $100,000.

The proposed Services Agreement has been reviewed and approved as to form by the City Attorney’s Office.

Fiscal Impact
The fiscal impact is not-to-exceed $231,706.20. Sufficient funds are available in the Electric Fund, Malburg Generation Station, Gas Turbine, Account No. 055-050-586-529005 and Electric Fund, Malburg Generation, Steam Turbine, Account No. 055-050-586-529006 for the current fiscal year and will be budgeted in subsequent years.

Item 10 Page 21 of 352

INTRODUCTION
The City of Vernon’s Request for Proposals (RFP) for Scaffolding Services is the City of Vernon’s process to identify and acquire a highly qualified contractor to support maintenance schedules and other repairs over a three-year period at the Malburg Generating Station (MGS). MGS supports the business and residential community, and it must import additional energy to meet its peak system demand of 163 MW. It is imperative that the scaffolding contractor is reliable, efficient, and will minimize disruption to ongoing operations.

The RFP consists of two forecasted outages. One in the first year of the proposed agreement in December 2025 and the other in the third year of the proposed agreement in the Spring of 2028. There are on-call scenarios identified for each year of the proposed agreement. It is to be expected that not all the work will be planned, and there will be last-minute call outs for scaffold support. The specific needs vary per year and will ultimately be determined by the City of Vernon.

D2 Industrial Services will be available 24 hours a day, every day to ensure we minimize delays to ongoing operations. The City of Vernon may contact D2 via phone call, email, or text to request scaffold support services. D2’s response to any request will be determined by the immediate needs of the city. D2’s Scaffold Project Manager may conduct a site visit to generate a proposal for the work required. A foreman may go to the site to identify the needs and determine the crew and materials needed while he gets started on the documentation. We may send a crew to do immediate work such as erect, modify or dismantle scaffolds. The city may request a specific number of workers and estimate the size of the scaffold due to their familiarity with the work. D2 may also provide the city with a combination of the above-mentioned responses to ensure the city gets the service it needs in a safe and timely manner, while staying within budget. .

Item 10 Page 22 of 352

GENERAL SCOPE OF WORK

1. Outdoor Structure Adjacent to the Gas Turbine Enclosure Erect and dismantle two (2) scaffolds approximately 15’ W x 36’ L x 23’ H, adjacent to the face of the Gas Turbine Enclosure buildings. These scaffolds will be used to protect the Gas Turbines from potential weather elements. The scaffold will have an opening big enough so that it does not obstruct the small doors, the big doors, the beams that will be used to facilitate the removal of the gas turbines, or the gas turbines themselves.

The scaffolds will have an opening on the east side so that a forklift can enter and exit the containment area. The scaffolds will have a controlled work environment with a higher degree containment. The scaffold is expected to be utilized for 30 days. This project is expected to take place in the Spring of 2028

2. Gas Turbine Maintenance
Erect and dismantle the following scaffolds:

1. One (1) scaffold approximately 10’ W x 10’ L x 8’ H.

2. Two (2) scaffolds approximately 10’ W x 12’ L x 5’ H.

3. Two (2) hard barricades approximately 12’ L.

We will provide and have readily available material on-site to erect the scaffolds proposed. We will provide material to meet and exceed the needs of the above scopes of work as the jobsite conditions and needs change. This includes but is not limited to extra rails, metal planks, wood planks, clamps, plywood, etc. Additional scaffold material will be provided to meet any requirements for the Gas Turbine Maintenance at the specific unit location. Scaffold dimensions described above are for reference only, and the design will be modified to fit the unique configurations of the specific work location.

The scaffolds will then be modified as the project progresses and the needs change. We will provide a crew of two (2) to be inside the facility, next to the work area with all tools, PPE and equipment. The crew will be on standby throughout the duration of the project, ready for any scaffold erection, modification or dismantle that may be needed. The forecasted duration of the project is twenty (20) ten-hour (10) day shifts. Fifteen (15) of those shifts will be Monday to Friday and five (5) of those shifts will be Saturday to Sunday shifts. The proposed schedule for the project is 7 – 10’s. The project is expected to take place in the Spring of 2028.
.

Item 10 Page 23 of 352

3. Steam Turbine Maintenance
Erect and dismantle the following scaffolds:

1. one (1) scaffold approximately 10’ W x 10’ L x 8’ H.

2. one (1) perimeter scaffold around the steam turbine to reach the steam valves.

We will provide and have readily available material on-site to erect the scaffolds proposed. We will provide material to meet and exceed the needs of the above scopes of work as the jobsite conditions and needs change. This includes but is not limited to extra rails, metal planks, wood planks, clamps, plywood, etc. Additional scaffold material will be provided to meet any requirements for the Steam Turbine Maintenance at the specific unit location. Scaffold dimensions described above are for reference only, and the design will be modified to fit the unique configurations of the specific work location.

The scaffolding will then be modified as the project progresses and the needs change.

We will provide a crew of two (2) to be inside the facility, next to the work area with all tools, PPE and equipment. The crew will be on standby throughout the duration of the project, ready for any scaffold erection, modification or dismantle that may be needed.

The forecasted duration of the project is eighteen (18) ten-hour (10) day shifts. Fourteen (14) of those shifts will be Monday to Friday and four (4) of those shifts will be Saturday to Sunday shifts. The proposed schedule for the project is 7 – 10’s. The Steam Turbine Maintenance projects will be performed as follows:

1. December 2025 – Steam Turbine Maintenance scope for 1 Turbine.

2. Spring 2028 - Steam Turbine Maintenance scope for 2 Turbines.

4. HRSG SCR Catalyst
Erect and dismantle one (1) scaffold approximately 4’ W x 15’ L x 50’ H. The scaffold is expected to be utilized for 30 days. The HRSG SCR Catalyst projects will be performed as follows:

1. December 2025 - HRSG SCR Catalyst scope for one (1) internal.

2. Year two (2) of the proposed agreement - HRSG SCR Catalyst scope for one (1) internal.

3. Spring 2028 - HRSG SCR Catalyst scope for two (2) internals.

5. Miscellaneous Callouts
Erect and dismantle two (2) scaffolds approximately 15’ W x 20’ L x 12’ H per callout in an industrial work environment. The scaffold dimensions are for estimating purposes and will differ depending on the specific needs of the city at the time of the callout. This proposal includes two (2) callouts per year of the proposed agreement. .

Item 10 Page 24 of 352

WORK PLAN
We propose setting up a staging area with material on site after the award of the project. This material will be used to provide scaffold support and not incur any rental charges while it is on site for the duration of the agreement. Any rental charges to be incurred will be detailed in our proposals or billed on a T&M basis on a job-by-job basis.

We will not charge the City of Vernon any shipping/material freight charges for mobilizing any material to and from the MGS at the beginning or end of the 3-year agreement. This includes any labor on site to offload, stage, and load the material.

To plan the work, we will go over the scope with the city to identify access areas needed, timelines, priorities, crew size, simultaneous operations, hazards, schedules and dates. We will come up with a plan to execute the scope in a safe, efficient and timely manner all while staying within budget. All the scaffolding will be measured and designed by a competent person. If necessary, we will measure, pull and stage material before the start of the project. Barricading procedures will be determined by the city.

When priorities shift, we will be ready and available to stop current tasks to assist or start other tasks as needed.

Once we have identified the work areas, crew makeup, hazards and other pertinent job details, we will begin the process to conduct the work. Before any work is performed, we will conduct a Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) and review as a group to identify the day’s activities, job tasks, hazards, hazard mitigations, permits, evacuation points, key personnel, contacts, emergency equipment, safety equipment, PPE and other sitespecific information related to the project. Once everyone has reviewed and signed the JHA, we will do our stretch and flex.

To erect our scaffolds, we will gather the material needed for the project in the laydown yard and stage it next to the work area. We will barricade and tag our work area, conduct a final visual hazard assessment, then start to erect our scaffolding. Once the scaffold is complete, it will be inspected by our competent person and tagged accordingly. We will then communicate with the city, contractor, end user or point of contact to ensure the scaffold is correctly erected for its intended purpose. After we conduct our housekeeping, we will mobilize our material to the staging area and organize it in racks.

For modifications we will analyze the work area and gather any materials needed. We will mobilize and stage the material next to the work area. We will barricade and tag the work area, conduct a final visual hazard assessment, and execute the modification.

Once the scaffold is complete, it will be inspected by our competent person and tagged accordingly. We will then communicate with the city, contractor, end user or point of contact to ensure the scaffold is correctly erected for its intended purpose. After we .

conduct our housekeeping, we will mobilize our material to the staging area and organize it in racks.

To dismantle our scaffolds, we will gather the necessary racks and stage them next to our work area. We will barricade and tag our work area, conduct a final visual hazard assessment, then start to dismantle our scaffolding. After we conduct our housekeeping, we will mobilize our material to the staging area and organize it in racks. Once the scaffold is dismantled, we will communicate with the city, contractor, end user or point of contact to let them know the work is complete and we are clear of the area.

For the outdoor structure adjacent to the Gas Turbine Enclosure buildings, we will measure the area and gather the materials necessary to erect the scaffold. We will erect the frame of the scaffolding first. We will then cover it with shrink-wrap to protect inside from the elements.

The Gas Turbine Maintenance will require us to measure and erect some of the scaffolding. As they open the turbine building and the turbine itself, we will erect, modify and dismantle scaffolding as needed. We will be at the gas turbine building ready to provide continuous support for this project on an as needed basis.

The Steam Turbine Maintenance will require us to measure and erect some of the scaffolding inside the steam turbine building. We will erect, modify and dismantle scaffolding as needed. We will be at the steam turbine building ready to provide continuous support for this project on an as needed basis.

We will pull and stage material for the HRSG according to the inner dimensions. If dimensions or additional information is not available or provided by the city, we will measure the space to create a material list to pull the material. Once the HRSG is cooled down and all permits are in place to enter the confined space, we will erect the scaffolding inside the confined space so they can clean, inspect or replace the catalyst.

For miscellaneous callouts or outage support, we will measure the work area and pull the material needed to complete the task.

There is one approach to that which will be consistent not only with all the tasks proposed, but with the unforeseen variables. That approach is safety. We will follow all Company and City of Vernon policies and procedures. All scaffolding will be built in accordance with State & Federal OSHA guidelines. All the scaffolding will be inspected by a competent person before being released for use. D2 promotes a “Stop Work Authority” culture, empowering employees to halt unsafe work without retaliation. We will ensure controls are in place: barricades, signage, fall protection, PPE, equipment checks, etc. We conduct toolbox talks, stretch-and-flex programs, and targeted training (e.g., lockout/tagout, confined space, respirator fit testing). .

My role for this RFP would be to provide additional project management and estimating support as needed to make sure the City of Vernon gets a quality product in a safe, timely and cost-effective manner.

I have 39 years’ experience in abatement, insulation, and scaffolding industry. I have worked in the field (13 yrs) and estimating/ project management (26 yrs) in refineries, power industry (coal, gas and solar), industrial, and manufacturing industries. I have managed projects of up to 10MM in size. These projects have been in private and public projects throughout California, Nevada, and Arizona.

Pursuant to Section 13307(b)(1) of the California Elections Code the statement of each candidate shall be printed in type of uniform size and darkness and with uniform spacing.

City Council Agenda Report
Meeting Date: November 18, 2025
From: Genoveva Rocha, City Clerk

Submitted by: Sandra Dolson, Deputy City Clerk
Subject
Conflict of Interest Code (Statement of Economic Interests) Recommendation
Adopt Resolution No. 2025-034 approving and adopting the amended Conflict of Interest Code pursuant to the Political Reform Act of 1974 and repealing Resolution No. 2024-019.

Background
The Political Reform Act of 1974 is a California law designed to promote transparency in government and establishes guidelines for disclosure of financial interests. Government Code Section 8100 et seq. (the “Act”), requires all public agencies to adopt and maintain a Conflict-ofInterest Code. The Act further requires that agencies regularly review and update their Codes as necessary, as directed by the code-reviewing body, the City Council is the City’s code-reviewing body, or when change is necessitated by changed circumstances (Sections 87306 and 87306.5).

During this review, staff found that amendments to the Code are necessary. A Conflict-of-Interest Code requires certain employees who are most likely to be in a governmental decision-making capacity and where potential conflicts may occur to file an annual disclosure form. The Statement of Economic Interest Form, also known as the Form 700, provides transparency and ensures accountability in two ways:
• It provides necessary information to the public about an official’s personal financial interests to ensure that officials are making decisions in the best interest of the public and not enhancing their personal finances; and
• It serves as a reminder to the public official of potential conflicts of interest so the official can abstain from making or participating in governmental decisions that are deemed conflicts of interest
The Code was last amended on September 17, 2024, when the Vernon City Council adopted Resolution No. 2024-019. Updates to the current code are necessary due to changes in job titles, as well as the addition and removal of certain positions, and the designation of filing categories. Designated positions can only be required to disclose interests that they may effect in the course of performing the position’s duties. The proposed amended Conflict of Interest Code outlines these recommended changes.

Attachment No. 2 outlines the changes to Code, showing both the current positions and the updates. Attachment No. 3 is the proposed amended Conflict of Interest Code which includes all designated positions and the disclosure filing categories. The disclosure categories listed identify the types of economic interests that the designated position must disclose for each disclosure category to which the designated position is assigned. “Investment” means financial interest in any business entity (including a consulting business or other independent contracting business) and are reportable if they are either located in, doing business in, planning to do business in, or have done business during the previous two years in the jurisdiction of the City.

Individuals in positions designated by the Conflict-of-Interest Code are required to file an annual . .

Item 12 Page 1 of 57
Statement of Economic Interests (Form 700). This statement must reflect activities from the previous calendar year and be submitted using the City’s electronic filing system.

Officials who are specified in Government Code section 87200 (including officials who manage public investments, as defined by 2 Cal. Code of Regs. § 18701 (b), are not subject to the Agency’s Conflict of Interest Code, but are subject to the disclosure requirements of the Political Reform Act, Government Code section 87100, et seq. Gov’t Code § 87203. These positions are listed here for informational purposes only. The positions listed below are officials who are specified in Government Code section 87200:

From: Daniel S. Wall, P.E., Director of Public Works
Department: Public Works
Submitted by: Lissette Melendez, Project Engineer
Subject
Revocable Encroachment License Agreement No. 441 with BP Products North America, Inc.

Recommendation
A. Find that approval of the proposed action is categorically exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), in accordance with CEQA guidelines 15061(b)(3), the general rule that CEQA only applies to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment; and
B. Approve and authorize the Mayor to execute the Revocable Encroachment License Agreement No. 441 (Agreement) between the City of Vernon and BP Products North America, Inc. (BPPNA).

Background
BP Products North America, Inc. (BPPNA) has applied for an Encroachment License Agreement to install two (2) monitoring wells in the public right-of-way. These wells will be utilized for sampling groundwater on a quarterly or semi-annual basis for a period of up to five (5) years to determine if the water contains any contaminants.

City staff has prepared Revocable Encroachment License Agreement No. 441 between the City and BPPNA. The term of this license is for five (5) years from the effective date unless sooner terminated by either party. BPPNA has indicated their acceptance of the License Agreement by properly executing the document prior to its submission to the City Council for consideration. The City Attorney’s Office has reviewed and approved the Revocable Encroachment License Agreement as to form.

Fiscal Impact
Approval of the Agreement will result in $10,000 in additional revenue to the General Fund that shall be remitted prior to the issuance of the License. BPPNA will also pay an annual renewal fee of $1,284.00, payable each year during the term of the License resulting in revenue to the General Fund Franchises and Agreements Account No. 011-410-000-410300. The renewal fee shall be increased annually to account for inflation based on the Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U), for the Los Angeles-Anaheim-Riverside Metropolitan Area, published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor.

4.0 No Interests in City Property.

4.1 No Right, Title or Interest. The permission granted hereunder shall not in any event constitute an easement on nor an encumbrance against the City Property.

However, to the extent that a possessory interest is deemed created by a governmental entity with taxation authority, Licensee acknowledges that City has given to Licensee notice pursuant to California Revenue and Taxation Code Section 107.6 that the use or occupancy of any public property pursuant to this License may create a possessory interest which may be subject to the payment of property taxes levied upon such interest. Licensee shall be solely liable for, and shall pay and discharge prior to delinquency, any and all possessory interest taxes or other taxes levied against Licensee’s right to possession, occupancy, or use of any public property pursuant to any right of possession, occupancy, or use created by this License.

7.0 Abandonment.

7.1 At City’s request, Licensee shall at its sole expense, properly abandon, without cost or expense to City, any or all of the Monitoring Wells, if and when such Monitoring Well(s) may be deemed by City to be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare; is/are in conflict vertically and/or horizontally with any proposed City installation; interfere(s) with any City construction project; or made necessary by any abandonment, change of grade, alignment or width of any street, sidewalk or other public facility, including the construction, maintenance, or operation of any other City underground or aboveground facilities including but not limited to any sewer, storm drain, conduits, gas, water, electric or other utility system, or pipes owned by City or any other public agency, provided, however, that Licensee shall not be required to bear the expense of an abandonment requested under this Section 7.1 on behalf of, or for the benefit of, any third party unaffiliated with Licensee.

7.2 If Licensee is required to abandon one or more Monitoring Well(s) pursuant to Section 7.1, City shall cooperate with Licensee to determine a mutually acceptable location on City Property where Licensee may relocate said Monitoring Well(s). In the event Licensee relocates the Monitoring Well(s) to a new location as set forth in this Section 7.2, the terms of this License will apply to the Work at the relocated Monitoring Well(s) unless the Parties agree otherwise.

7.3 If Licensee is required to abandon one or more Monitoring Well(s) pursuant to Section 7.1, the abandonment shall be completed within sixty (60) days of a written request by City unless exigencies dictate a shorter period for abandonment and/or relocation, and such shorter period is stated in the written request. Such shorter time period shall be no less than fifteen (15) days. If Licensee has not complied with such written request for abandonment within said sixty (60) days or other longer time limit as provided by City, then City may cause the abandoning work to be done at Licensee’s own cost and expense.

7.4 In the event Licensee abandons one or more Monitoring Well(s), it shall be abandoned consistent with all requirements of the VMC as it may be amended from time to time.

Currently the Code requirements are listed in VMC, Section 13.12.240 - Destruction of Nonconforming Wells. In addition to meeting the requirements of the VMC then existing, the well casing shall be removed to a depth of no less than twelve (12) feet below the ground surface, unless the VMC then in effect establishes more stringent requirements.

7.5 In the event of an emergency, City may abandon the Monitoring Wells at Licensee’s own cost and expense without prior notice to Licensee, provided City makes an effort to notify Licensee first, and City notifies Licensee within a reasonable period thereafter.

7.6 In the event Licensee fails to perform any of its obligations under this License within a reasonable period after delivery of written notice of such failure and City performs any work including, but not limited to, repairing or maintaining the street improvements, City shall only be obligated to perform such work in a manner consistent with the standard practices of City in .

8.0 Termination, Abandonment, Default.

8.1 Either Party may terminate this License at any time by thirty (30) days written notice of said termination to the other Party.

8.2 In the event that Licensee fails to utilize the City Property under this License for a consecutive period of six months from the date of this License, regardless of whether such Monitoring Wells have been installed, City may notify Licensee in writing of its intent to terminate the License due to abandonment. If Licensee does not respond to said notice within thirty (30) days, City shall have the right, at its sole discretion, to declare this License terminated by abandonment.

8.3 In the event Licensee defaults, or fails to keep, fulfill or perform any of the terms or conditions of this License and fails to remedy such default within a reasonable period after delivery of written notice from City of such default or failure, City may declare this License terminated. Upon such a declaration of termination and failure to remedy such default, this License shall be cancelled, and all of the rights and privileges of Licensee under this License shall be surrendered.

8.4 Upon termination for any reason, City may require Licensee to abandon the Monitoring Wells and restore the City Property according to the requirements of Licensee’s permit and the VMC, or if City so elects, Licensee shall abandon the Monitoring Wells to the ownership of City without the payment of any compensation. Any abandonment conducted by Licensee under this Section 8.4 shall be completed within sixty (60) days of the effective termination date of this License. Should Licensee neglect to restore the City Property in accordance with this Section 8.4, City may perform such work or have such work performed, and Licensee shall reimburse City for all costs of the work so performed upon receipt of a statement therefor.

9.0 Performance Bond.

The amount of said bond may be subject to an increase in accordance with the CPI-U cited in Section 3.2 herein, and Licensee shall provide the revised bond amount within 60 days of receipt of notice from the City that it shall do so.
