STAFF REPORT
CITY ADMINISTRATION
February 3,2015
Honorable Mayor and City Council
Mark C. Whitworth, City Administrator
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COT]NCIL OF THE CITY OF VERNON
ADOPTING AN AMENDED AND RESTATED CITYWIDE FRINGE
BENEFITS AIID SALARY RESOLUTION
Recommendations
It is recommended that the City Council:
l) Find that approval of the resolution proposed in this staff report is exempt under the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in accordance with Section 15061(bX3),
the general rule that CEQA only applies to projects that may have an effect on the
environment.
2) Adopt the attached resolution, effective December 28,2014, adopting an amended and
restated Citywide Fringe Benefits and Salary Resolution, to reflect the following
corrections and transfers to Exhibit A - Classification and Compensation Plan:
a. Director of Human Resources Classification - Y1- frozen monthly salary should
read $16,333.34 instead of $16,333. Pay grade should read E40.
b. Fire Chief Classification - Minimum salary should read $15,530 instead of
$15,531.
c. Transfer IT Group from the Gas & Electric Department to the City Administration
Department.
d. Delete Yl Salary Step - $9,537 from Programmer/Analyst Classification
e. City Council and Mayor pay grade should read O0linstead of 01.
Background
On December 16, 2014, City Council adopted Resolution No. 2014-74 adopting an amended and
restated Citywide Fringe Benefit and Salary Resolution. The resolution approved new salary
grades and pay plans based upon the 75h percentile of the comparable survey labor market for
Executive and Council members.
A minor correction is needed on Exhibit A, Classification and Compensation Plan for the Yl-
annual and monthly salary of the Director of Human Resources classification. The Yl frozen
monthly salary should rcad 16,333.34 as provided in the December 16,2014 staff report instead
of $16,333. This conection is a result of rounding. The pay grade should read E40.
A minor correction is also needed for the minimum salary of the Fire Chief classification. The
minimum monthly salary should read $15,530 instead of $15,531. This correction is a result of
rounding.
In addition, on December 16, 2014, the City Council approved the reorganization/rclocation of
the Information Technology Division from the Gas & Electric Department to the City
Administration Department. This staffreport also recommends transferring the classifications to
the City Administration Department.
The Programmer/Analyst incumbent who was assigned afrozen salary step at Yl- $9,537 per
month has resigned from the City of Vernon. This report recorlmends deletion of the Yl salary
step under the Pro grammer/Analyst classifi cation.
Consistent with the designation of pay grades in the compensation plan that identifies the various
employee groups, the pay grade for Council members and Mayor should read O01 opposed to
01. The letter "O" would designate that the pay grade is associated with Elected Officials.
Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact associated with the modifications to Exhibit A, Classification and
Compensation Plan of the Citywide Fringe Benefit and Salary Resolution.

year, at a rate of 3.08 of sick leave hours per pay period.
B. Employees shall only receive sick leave accrual while they are in a paid status.
C. The City shall allow annual carry-over of sick leave hours for full-time employees
up to a maximum accrual cap of 960 hours. This bank of carry-over sick leave
would provide a cushion for longterm illnesses and injuries.
D. Any sick leave hours exceeding 960 hours will be compensated for at the end of
the calendar year at 50o/o of the employee's hourly rate.
E. Sick leave shall be allowed on account of actual illness, for the diagnosis, care,
or treatment of an existing health condition or preventative care for an employee
or an employee's family member (including to care for a parent-in-law,
grandparent, grandchild, or a sibling, in addition to child, parent, spouse or
registered domestic partner). Sick leave shall also be allowed for an employee
for certain purposes related to being a victim of domestic violence, sexual
assault, or stalking. Preventive health care shall include medical and dental
appointments (if such appointments cannot be arranged other than during
working hours) and injury not arising out of and in the course of employment.
Sick leave shall be used in increments of fifteen (15) minutes and shall not be
taken in excess of time earned at the time it is taken.
F. Foreseeable sick leave requires advance notification, while unforeseeable sick
leave requires notice as soon as practicable. lf sick leave on account of any of
the above illnesses exceeds two (2) consecutive working days, the employee,
prior to return to work, shall submit a statement of such disability illness or injury
from the employee or family member's physician. The statement shall certify the
physical condition of the employee/employee's family member that prevented the
employee from performing the duties of said employee's position during the
period of absence. The department head or designee, in accordance with
departmental procedure, shall approve all sick leaves. Notwithstanding the
above, the City may require verification of sick leave use whenever it has reason
to believe there is misuse, abuse or a pattern of abuse.
G. Abuse of sick leave, and excessive leave, may constitute grounds for disciplinary
action. Abuse of sick leave includes, but is not limited to, not adhering to sick
leave policies, using sick leave for purposes not enumerated in this policy, and
falsifying or misstating facts when using sick leave. A pattern of sick leave usage
on Mondays, Thursdays, and immediately before and after holidays and/or
vacations may be evidence of sick leave abuse. A violation of this policy will
result in corrective action including counseling and/or disciplinary action, and/or a
mandatory referral to the City's Employee Assistance Program. This
t4
H.
determination of abuse does not apply to an employee's use of sick leave under
an approved family, medical, and/or pregnancy disability leave in accordance
with state and federal laws.
lf in the opinion of the department head it appears that an employee may be
establishing a paftern of abuse of sick leave or frequent or excessive absences,
a statement establishing the need for sick leave from the employee's physician
may be required as a condition of approved sick leave.
Employees may use accrued compensatory or vacation leave for extended sick
leave absence because of a prolonged and continuing illness and/or medical
treatment after sick leave has been exhausted.
Employees are required to use accumulated sick leave concurrently with
absences on account of a work related injury arising out of and in the course of
his/her employment. ln cases where the injury suffered is covered by Workers
Compensation lnsurance, accumulated sick leave must be used concurrently to
make up the difference between Workers Compensation lnsurance allowance
and full base pay. Please refer to Personnel Policy, Family and Medical leave
Policy.
lf an employee resigns from the City with 20 years or more of continuous service,
he/she will be compensated for all unused sick leave hours in his/her sick leave
bank at the time of separation at 50o/o of his/her then current regular hourly rate
of pay.
lf an employee retires from the City with 15 or more years of continuous service,
but fewer than 20 years, he/she will be compensated for all unused sick leave
hours in his/her sick leave bank at the time of separation at 50% of his/her then
current regular hourly rate of pay. lf an employee retires from the City with 20 or
more years of continuous service, he/she will be compensated for all unused sick
leave hours in his/her sick leave bank at the time of separation at 100% of his/her
then current regular hourly rate of pay.

unless a conference is a necessary strategy meeting relating to some
significant legal issue or event, such as an upcoming trial, and then only one
attorney may be billed. Where charges are made for conferences, the
specific reason and need for each conference must be stated in detail, and
the participants identified.
F. Where charges are made for research time, the specific issue being
researched and the need must be identified. City has retained Associate
Counsel for its expertise, and therefore expects not to be billed for
introductory or background research. The City will not pay for aftorneys, law
clerks and paralegals educating themselves or doing work of a transient
nature on the case.
G. The City expects the attorney assigned to the case to handle all significant
matters in the case. lf other attorneys are assigned to assist the primary
attorney, the City must be notified. The City may request that the assigned
work be instead handled by the primary attorney. Thus, only those attorneys
or persons approved in advance by the City may bill on the case. Resumes
will be provided for all persons (other than clerical or secretarial) working on
the case.
H. No more than two support staff may bill on a particular case without the prior
approval of the City.
l. One paralegal may be used. Assignment of work to such paralegal should
not result in duplic€tive work by the attorneys, or reworking of paralegal's
work. Paralegal shall not perform clerical work, such as filing, indexing, date-
stamping, organizing, etc., but shall perform work such as research,
summarizing depositions, investigation, interviews of witnesses, elc.
J. Upon request, each item billed must be coded to a specific budget Iine item,
so a bill may be easily compared with the approved budget.
K. A tracking system must be set up to periodically, at least every six months,
compare the amount of work completed to a percentage of the budget
absorbed.
L. The City Aftomey reserves the right to request various levels of detail and
specific formats (such as columnar comparisons with established budgets).
M. The City will not pay for more than one biller doing any task (e.9. two or more
attorneys attending the same depositions or the same court appearances, a
biller redoing the work of another biller, or duplicative entries for reviewing
and analyzing documentation and legal research).
N. Photocopies of deposition transcripts shall be made whenever possible to
reduce deposition expenses.

Honorable Mayor and City Council
Mark Whitworth, City Administrator
William Fox, Director of Finance N4+
I
A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Vernon approving and
adopting an updated Whistleblower Policy
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Find the adoption of the resolution proposed in this staff report is exempt under the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in accordance with Section 15061(bX3), the
general rule that CEQA only applies to projects that may have an effect on the environment.
2. Approve the attached resolution adopting an updated Whistleblower Policy which provides
for the enactment of the City's updated Whistleblower Policy & Fraud Hotline. Such
approval will allow the City to further strengthen its Whistleblower policy including the
launching of a Fraud Hotline.
Backsround
On May 1,2012, the City Council adopted Resolution 2012-59 adopting a Whistleblower Policy
("Policy"). This Policy was adopted as part of the Good Governance Reforms. The policy was
implemented with the guidance and assistance of the City's lndependent Reform Monitor, Mr.
John Van de Kamp. Various authoritative sources were researched including the California
League of Cities, Institute of Local Government, and the LA Conservation Corps to ensure that
all the elements following best practices were incorporated.
The outside independent accounting firm of Vasquez and Company, LLP ("Vasquez"),
performed the audits of the City's financial statements for the fiscal years 2012-13 & 2013-14,
and a special fraud risk assessment in20l4. They observed a need for a Fraud Hotline to be in
line with best practices. An excerpt from Vasquez's most recent management letter dated
December 3,2074, addressing the Fraud Hotline is included herein:
Fraud Prevention, Detection and Reporting (Soarce: Dec. j,2014, Management Letter)
Comments:
While conducting the City's fraud risk assessment we noted that, although the City curuently
has a fraud/whistle-blowing policy in place, the current policy does not spectfy a set protocol
to follow regarding reporting and resolution of fraud. There is no formal fraud education
program in place which could provide fraud awareness and training to City employees.
Recommendation:
We suggest the City consider implementing the following recommendations to further
improve the City's internal controls over fraud prevention, detection and reporting:
- Hire an independent third party for reporting and tracking offraud cases.
- Update City's existingfraud policy and review it regularly for compliance.
- Formalize a structuredfraud prevention training programfor City employees.
Management Action Plan:
The City Agrees with the recommendation and has begun implementation. The City has
investigated various third party service providers that provide the initial reporting of and
trackingfor the fraud cases. A determination has been made to enter into an agreement with
The Nerwork, Inc. The Nerwork, Inc. develops integrated governance, risk, and compliance
solutions that help organizations mitigate risk and achieve compliance. They provide 24/7
live coverage and online access capability for reporting offraud. The Fraud Hotline will be
administered by the City Attorney's Office, who will be notified offraudulent reporting. The
City Attorney in cooperation with the City Administrator will determine the appropriate
follow up actions required to investigate allegations. City Council will be briefed on
material fraudulent activities. Training of employees will be done as part of the employee
meetings that are periodically held.
Management Actions
In December 2014 the City of Vemon entered into a purchase contract with The Network, Inc. to
be a third party service provider for the initial intake and tracking of whistleblower and fraud
reports. The first year cost was approved for a total amount not-to-exceed $1,860, which
included an initial start-up costs of $710 for system setup and educational/awareness materials.
Going forward, the annual fee is expected to be $1,150. The system implementation is currently
being set up. Once the setup has been completed, employee awareness and education will be
initiated as part of an upcoming employee meeting.
A revised Whistleblower and Fraud Hotline Policy has been developed and we are seeking City
Council approval. This updated policy incorporates the addition of the Fraud Hotline to address
fraudulent activities. It also follows best practices providing a framework for employee
reporting of fraudulent activities without the fear of retaliation. Employee awareness and
education will be done through employee meetings, promotional materials, and an email
distribution of the new policy.
Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact to adopt the updated Policy.
Conclusion
Based upon the recommendation of Vasquez and Company,LLP, the City of Vemon is making a
concerted effort to strengthen its intemal controls through the proposed updated Whistleblower
and Fraud Hotline Policy, and staff recommends that the City Council approve and adopt the
updated Policy.

POLICY & FRAUD HOTLINE
ADMINISTRATIVE POLICY MAITUAL
Section 1.3 - Miscellaneous
Approval:.
Citv Administrator
Effective Date:Responsible Department: Finance Dept.
PURPOSE
The City of Vernon requires employees to observe the highest standard of business and
personal ethics in the conduct of their duties and responsibilities. As representatives of the City,
all employees must practice honesty and integrity in the fulfillment of their responsibilities and
complianie with all applicable laws and regulations. Further, the City must protect its assets
and resources from fraudulent, illegal, and dishonest activities by maintaining effective intemal
controls and by identifying and investigating any possibility of fraud or other improper activities. To
that end, this Whistleblower Policy establishes procedures for City employees to report alleged
financial fraud, waste or abuse by City employees and/or contractors, and to assure that
such reports do not result in retaliation.
POLICY
City employees are encouraged to report good faith suspicions of financial misconduct by
City employees or contractors-, and any misuse of City property or resources. Any City employee
wno makes such a good faith report is protected against adverse employment actions by the City
for raising such allegations, and shall not suffer any reprisals or retaliation by the City for making the
report, whether or not the allegations are sustained.
REPORTABLE ACTIVITIES
Employees should report information related to financial fraud, waste, or abuse, including the
following prohibited activities:
Violation of any law, regulation, ordinance.
Conflict of interest.
Fraud, waste, or misuse of City property, resour@s, ortime.
Theft, misuse of, or misappropriation of City resources, property, information, assets
or funds, or an attempt to do any of the same.
5. lntentional falsiflcation of records (including failure to disclose material facts or making of
false or misleading entries or statements with the intent to deceive on any City document
or other official document, report, or form, including but not limited to, City financial records
and environmental regulatory reporting), or the willful and unauthorized destruction
and/or mutilation of any City document or other ofiicial document, report, or form,
including City financial records.
6. lntentionally submitting false claims for payment or reimbursement.
7 . Knowingly submitting and/or signing a timesheet that contains false information.
B. Forgeryor intentional unauthorized alteration of a City document or other officialdocument,
application, report, or form, including but not limited to, City financial documents.
g. Improprieties in the handling or reporting of financialtransactions forthe City.
10. Authorizing or receiving payment by the City for goods not received or services not
performed.

1 1. Computer-related ac{ivity involving unauthorized access, destruction of data, forgery, or
manipulation of data or misappropriation of City-owned data or softrvare.
HOW TO REPORT
City employees who have specific information that other City employees or contractors have
engaged in fraud, waste or abuse are encouraged to report such information through the
normal chain of command, which includes their immediate superior, department head, Human
Resources, and the City Administrator's or City Attorney's Office.
Face to face reporting through the chain of command is always the best form of
communication; however, there may be certain circumstances where an employee wishes to
remain anonymous. Recognizing that employees are not always comfortable going through
the chain of command, the Fraud Hotline is another way to report fraud, waste, or abuse. The
Fraud Hofline is hosted by an independent, third-party provider contracted by the city. The
Fraud Hotline provides an anonymous method of reporting such incidents over the phone to a
third-party interviewer, or via an anonymous web form.
To contact the Fraud Hotline, employees should call 1-844-864-6371 or report online via
www. reoortonlineweb.comicitvofvernon.
All reports regarding fraud, waste, or abuse should be made seriously and with due
professional care. The Fraud Hotline should not be used for employment-related grievances or
appeals, as existing City policy and procedures provide channels for resolution of these issues.
INVESTIGATION
All reports will be reviewed and analyzed. Appropriate corrective action will be taken, if
necessary, and findings will be communicated to the reporting person. lnvestigations may
warrant involvement of independent persons such as auditors and/or outside attorneys.
For reports made through lhe Fraud Hotline, the third-party provider will complete an_incident
report and send the report to the City Attorney's Office. The City Attorney's Office will
coordinate the investigation of all complaints related to fraud, waste, and abuse.
EMPLOYEE PROTECTION
The Whistleblower Policy is intended to encourage and enable employees to raise concerns.
No City officer or employee shall use or threaten to use any official authority to cause any
adversl employment action as retaliation against any employee who acts as a whistleblower in
good faith and with reasonable belief that improper conduct has occurred, even if the report is
iristaken. However, this Policy does not prohibit the City from taking an adverse action for
legitimate or non-discriminatory reason due to a mere causal connection to the protected
\A/histleblower aclivity.

Approval of Change Order No. 2 to the Existing Consulting Services
Agreement with Engineering Partners, Inc., for the Detailed Design and
Preparation of Plans for the Relocation of Power Poles related to the
Rehabilitation of the Atlantic Blvd. Bridge over the Los Angeles River Bridge
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Find that the approval of Change Order No. 2 the Consulting Services Agreement with
Engineering Partners, Inc., ("EPI"), is in within the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative
Declaration prepared for this project pursuant to the provisions under the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in accordance with Section 15063. The lead agency
shall conduct an initial study to determine if the project may have a significant effect on
the environment, and Section 15070.
2. Approve and authorize the City Administrator to execute Change Order No. 2, in
subitantiatly the same form as submitted herewith, to the existing consulting services
agreement with EPI for services related to additional detailed design and preparation of

io. u .o-pensation amount not-to-exceed $125,000; thereby increasing the total contract
value to a not-to-exceed amount of $212,385.
Background
The Atlantic Boulevard Bridge over the Los Angeles River was constructed in 1931. Due to the
narrow pedestrian walkway and traffic lanes, the bridge will be inadequate for the projected
traffic volume of vehicles and trucks traveling the route. As a result, the bridge must be
modernized to meet current structural standards and comply with the accepted design
requirements of Caltrans, the County of Los Angeles, the County of Los Angeles Flood Control
Department, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
The bridge improvements will require the relocation of several power poles along Atlantic Blvd.
and the LA River crossing.
On April 5,2}ll, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2011-43 authorizing the issuance of
a Request for Proposals ("RFP") for the preparation of plans and specifications for the relocation
work. The City selected EPI, based on demonstrated competence and responsiveness to the
RFP. On February 21,2012, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2012-32 approving a
Consulting Services Agreement with PEI for an amount not-to-exceed $137,385. On December
g,2}l4,the City Council approved Change Order No. 1 to the consulting services agreement for
an amount not-to-exceed $10,000 to perform a power line crossing profile survey required by
LADWP.
A significant portion of the consulting services agreement with EPI is the relocation of the 16
fV line .rorrirg the Los Angeles River as a result of the Atlantic Blvd Bridge widening and
rehabilitation project. The continuation of the 16 KV line to the south side of the bridge was a
challenge duelo rpu". constraints. After several iterations of conceptdesigns of these lines, the
City has decided that the relocation of the L.A. River crossing at the east side of Atlantic Bridge
is too difficult to complete within reasonable cost parameters. A decision was made to move the
16 KV line to the west side of the bridge.
Change Order No. 2 addresses detailed design of structures and related line crossing tasks that
include utilities inventory; soil boring and foundation design; detailed specifications; structure
loading analysis; revised cost estimates; and construction services.
Fiscal Impact
The proposed Change Order No. 2 shall not exceed a total amount of $125,000, inclusive of all
relatid expenses. Suffrcient funds are available in the 2014-2015 VG&E Engineering budget.

SPECIFICATIONS FOR RELOCATION OF POWER POLES
Ref: City of Vernon P.O. #055.0001695 dated 312812012
Dear Mr. Nourmohamadian:
This proposal is to amend our original proposal P2759r2 which was basis of the
referenced purchase order.
Backoround
A significant part of this project is the relocation of the 16 kV line crossing the Los
Angeles River as a result of the Atlantic Blvd Bridge widening project. The continuation
of the 16 kV line to the south side of the bridge was a challenge due to space
constraints. After several iterations of concept designs of these lines, the City has
decided that the relocation of the L. A. River crossing at the east side of Atlantic Bridge
is too difficult to complete at reasonable costs. A decision was made by the City to
move the 16kV line to the west side of the bridge. The City requested EPI complete a
concept design for the L. A. River on the west side of the bridge.
The development of concept design to this stage has expended 85% of the overall
design budget covered by the purchase order. As such, the City has requested that EPI
prepare a cost proposal to complete development of construction plans, specifications,
and costs estimate based on current concept design.
Scope
The following is our understanding of the changes in the scope of work:
1. Re-design the L.A. River crossing at the west side of Atlantic Blvd Bridge.

Subj: PROPOSAL FOR CHANGE ORDER NO.2 TO PREPARE PLANS AND

2. Re-route affected lines to new poles at L. A. River crossing.
3. Coordinate construction design with CNS Engineers (the City's Bridge
Consultant). lt is assumed that CNS Engineers will assemble the pole relocation
and bridge construction designs into one package. ln addition, CNS Engineers
will responsible for any coordination and permitting required lor the erection of
the poles within the flood channel, legal related to easement acquisition, traffic
plans, etc. related to work within the f lood channel.

Approval of a Notice Inviting Bids - Contract CS-0533 for the
Rehabilitation of Production Well No. 16
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council:
l. Find that Notice Inviting Bids proposed in the staff report is exempt under the California
Environmental Quality ACT (CEQA) in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15301,
subsections (b) and (d), because the project involves negligible or no expansion of use
beyond that existing at the lead agency's determination; and
2. Approve the Notice Inviting Bids, per Contract CS-0533 for the Rehabilitation of Production
Well No. 16, a copy which is attached hereto.
Background
Production Well No. l6 ("Well"), located at 4305 Santa Fe Avenue, in Vernon, CA, had its drive
motor and pump unit replaced in 2014 due to a decrease in its production capacity. Upon completion of
the motor and pump unit installation, the well was test pumped to quantify the production capacity in
gallons per minute (gpm). Subsequent testing found that the well could produce no more than 700 gpm as
a result of plugged perforations in the well-shaft. The well should ideally produce between 1200 and
1400 gpm. [n order to clear the plugged perforations, the subject well will have to be rehabilitated using a
vast array of chemicals and mechanical equipment.
Fiscal Impact
The total project cost is estimated to be between $200,000.00 and $250,000.00. Funds are
available in the 2014-2015 fiscal year budget under 020.1084.900000.

Subcontractor under the apprenticeship standards for the employment and training of apprentices in the
area or industry affected, provided, however, that the approval as established by the Joint
Apprenticeship Committee or Committees shall be subject to the approval of the Administrator of
Apprenticeship. The Joint Apprenticeship Committee or Committees, subsequent to approving the
Contractor or Subcontractor, shall arrange for the dispatch of apprentices to the Contractor or such
ATTACHMENT TO PART I _ PW BEV 103113
Subcontractor in order to comply with California Labor Code 51777.5. There shall be an affirmative
duty upon the Joint Apprenticeship Committee or Committees, administering the apprenticeship
standards of the crafu or trades in the area of the site of the Work, to ensure equal employment and
affirmative action and apprenticeship for women and minorities. Contractors or SubcontractoB shall not
be required to submit individual applications for approval to local Joint Apprenticeship Committees
provided they are already covered by the local apprenticeship standards.
b. Contractors who are not already approved to train apprentices must request dispatch of required
apprentices from one of the applicable Apprentices Committees whose geographic area of operation
includes the site of the Project by giving the committee actual notice of at least forty-eight (48) hours
(excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) before the date on which one or more apprentices are
required, Contractors and Subcontractors may use DAS form 142 to make the request for apprentices.
However, if a non-signatory contractor declines to abide by and comply with the terms of a local
committee's standards, the Apprenticeship Committee shall not be required to dispatch apprentices to
such contractor. Conversely, if in response to a written request, an Apprenticeship Committee does not
dispatch any apprentice to a contractor who has agreed to employ and train apprentices in accordance
with either the Apprenticeship Committee's Standards or the California Apprenticeship Counsel
Regulations (Title 8, Section 230 efseq.) within 72 hours of such request (excluding Saturdays, Sundays
and holidays) the contractor shall not be considered in violation of Section 230,1 as a result of failure to
employ apprentices for the remainder of the Project, provided the contractor has made the request in
enough time to meet the required ratio. If an Apprenticeship Committee dispatches fewer apprentices
than the Contractor or Subcontractor requested, the Contractor or Subcontractor shall be considered in
compliance if the contractor employs those apprentices who are dispatched, provided that, where there
is more than one Apprenticeship Committee able and willing to unconditionally dispatch apprentices, a
Contractor or Subcontractor who is not a participant in an apprenticeship program has requested
dispatch from at least two committees,
Ratio of Apprentices to Journeymen
a. The ratio of Work performed by apprentices to journeymen, who shall be employed in the Work, may be
the ratio stipulated in the apprenticeship standards under which the Joint Apprenticeship Committee
operates, but in no case shall the ratio be less than one hour of apprentice work for every five hours of
labor performed by a journeyman, except as otherwise provided in California Labor Code 51777.5. The
ratio of apprentice work to journeyman work shall apply during any day or portion of a day when any
journeyman is employed at the site ofthe Work and shall be computed on the basis of the hours worked
during the day by journeymen so employed. Any Work performed by a journeyman in excess of eight
hours per day or zl0 hours per week shall not be used to calculate the ratio. The Contractor must employ
apprentices for the number of hours computed as above before the end of the Contract or subcontract,
as applicable. The Contractor must, however, endeavor, to the greatest extent possible, to employ
apprentices during the same time period that the journeymen in the same craft or trade are employed at
the site of the Work. Where an hourly apprenticeship ratio is not feasible for a particular craft or trade,
the Division of Apprenticeship Standards, upon application of a Joint Apprenticeship Committee, may
order a minimum ratio of not less than one apprentice for each five journeymen in a craft or trade
classification.
b. The Contractor or any Subcontractor covered by this Paragraph and Glifornia Labor Code 51777.5, that
has agreed to be covered by an Apprenticeship Program's standards, upon the issuance of the approval
certificate, or that has been previously approved in such craft or trade, must employ the number of
apprentices or the ratio of apprentices to journeymen stipulated in the apprenticeship standards, but in
no event less than the 1-to-5 hourly ratio. Upon proper showing by the Contractor that it employs
apprentices in such craft or trade in the State of California on all of its contracts on an annual average
of not less than one apprentice to each five journeymen, the Division of Apprenticeship Standards may
grant a certificate exempting the Contractor from the 1-to-5 hourly ratio as set forth in this Paragraph
and California Labor Code 51777.5.
Exemption - The requirement to employ apprentices shall not apply to contracts of general contractors, or
to contracts of specialty contractors not bidding for work through a general or prime contractor, involving
less than Thirty Thousand Dollars ($30,000.00) or twenty (20) Working Days. The term "Apprenticeable
Craft or Trade," as used herein shall mean a craft or trade determined as an Apprenticeable occupation in
accordance with rules and regulations prescribed by the Apprenticeship Council,
ATTACHMENT TO PART I_ PW REV. 103113
6. Contributions to Trust Funds - The Contractor or any Subcontractor of any tier who performs any of the
Work by employment of journeymen or apprentices in any Apprenticeable Craft or Trade shall contribute to
the California Apprenticeship Council in the same amount that the Director determines is the prevailing
amount of apprenticeship training contributions in the area of the Project. Contractor or any Subcontractor,
of any tier, may take as a credit for payments to the Council any amounLs paid by the Contractor or
Subcontractor to an approved apprenticeship program that can supply apprentices to the Project.
Contractors who do not contribute to an apprenticeship program must submit their contributions to the
California Apprenticeship Council. Training Fund contributions are due and payable on the 15th day of the
month for work performed during the preceding month. Training contributions to the California
Apprenticeship Council shall be paid by check and shall be accompanied by a Completed Training Fund
Contribution form (CAC-2). Contractors who contribute to an apprenticeship program are entitled to a full
credit in the amount of those contributions. The Division of Labor Standards Enforcement is authorized to
enforce the payment of such contributions to such fund(s) as set forth in California Labor Code $ 227. Such
contributions shall not result in an increase in the Contract Price.
7. Contractor's Compliance - The responsibility of compliance with this Paragraph for all Apprenticeable
Trades or Crafu is solely and exclusively that of the Contractor. All decisions of the Joint Apprenticeship
Committee(s) under this Paragraph are subject to the provisions of California Labor Code 53081. In the
event the Contractor willfully fails to comply with the provisions of this Paragraph and California Labor Code
9t777.5, pursuant to California Labor Code 91777.7, the Contractor shall: (i) be denied the right to bid on
any public works contract for a period of one (1) year from the date the determination of non-compliance is
made by the Administrator of Apprenticeship; and (ii) fofeit, as a civil penalty, One Hundred Dollars
($100.00) for each calendar day of noncompliance. Notwithstanding the provisions of California Labor Code
5L727, upon receipt of such determination, the City shall withhold such amount from the Contract Price then
due or to become due. Any such determination shall be issued after a full investigation, a fair and impaftial
hearing, and reasonable notice thereof in accordance with reasonable rules and procedures prescribed by
the California Apprenticeship Council. Any funds withheld by the City pursuant to this Paragraph shall be
deposited in the General Fund or other similar fund of the City. The interpretation and enforcement of
California Labor Code 591777.5 and L777.7 shall be in accordance with the rules and procedures of the
California Apprenticeship Council.

Rejection of all Bids - for Equipping Well No. 21 and Related Site
Work - Contract No. CS-0484
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Find that the request in this staff report , is not subject to the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) because, under Guidelines 15270 CEQA does not apply to projects
which a city disapproves; and even if it were subject to CEQA, it would be exempt in
accordance with Section 15301, subsections (b) and (d), because the project involves
negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the lead agency's determination; and
2. Approve the rejection of all bid proposals, received on December 9, 2O14, per Contract CS-
0484 for Equipping Well No. 2l and Related Site Work, and authorize staff to re-advertise
and solicit bids for Equipping Well No. 2l and Related Site Work.
Background
On October 21, 2014, the City Council authorized City staff to issue a Notice Inviting Bids
("NIB") for Equipping Well No. 21 and Related Site Work, Contract No. CS-0484. The City received five
bids in response to the NIB on December 9, 2014. Each proposal was evaluated based on the criteria
outlined in the NIB sent to each bidder. At the conclusion of the evaluation process, it was found that all
five of the subject bidders failed to provide a complete pump equipment submittal including all
calculations and drawings with theirbid as required in accordance with Specification Section No. 15130
Vertical Turbine Pump (1.01. B). The pump equipment submittal is a major component of this project;
and is needed to effectively and quantifiably evaluate the merits of each bid. For this reason, staff believes
that there were no responsive bidders and it is in the City's best interest to reject all bids and rebid this
project. Additionally, it should be noted that Section I-1.04.5 of the lnstructions to Bidders states that
"The City reserves the right to reject all bids, waive inegularity in any of the bids, or cancel or delay the
project at any time." This section permits the City to reject all bids for any reason.
Fiscal Impact
Funds have been allocated in the 2014-2015 fiscal year budget under 020.1084.900000.
