Recommendation:
A. Find that the acceptance of the Electrical Easement proposed in this staff report is not a

involves negligible or no expansion of an existing use) and 15061(b)(3) (general rule that CEQA

Recommendation:
A. Find that approval of franchise towing service agreements with U.S. Tow, Inc. and Mr. C’s
Towing of South Gate, Inc. is not subject to review under the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA), because such action is a governmental administrative activity that will not result in direct or
indirect physical changes in the environment and is therefore not a “project” as that term is defined
by CEQA Guidelines section 15378; and
B. Approve the second reading, and adopt Ordinance No. 1259 granting U.S. Tow, Inc. a
franchise towing services agreement; and

CONFERENCE WITH LEGAL COUNSEL - ANTICIPATED LITIGATION
Significant exposure to litigation. The City has received notice that it is a potentially
responsible party (PRP) relating to an EPA Superfund site in South Gate, California, which
was used for decades until the early 1990s as a facility to recondition and recycle used
steel drums, some of which contained a variety of industrial chemicals. Potential plaintiffs
have identified the City as a PRP and made an offer of settlement in exchange for release
from future liability.

City Council Agenda Item Report
Agenda Item No. COV-57-2019
Submitted by: Joanna Torres
Submitting Department: Public Utilities
Meeting Date: February 19, 2019
SUBJECT
Award of Construction Contract to General Pump Company, Inc. for the Well No. 11 Pump and Motor Project
Recommendation:
A. Find that the proposed action is categorically exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) review,
in accordance with CEQA Guidelines 15301, because the project consists of the maintenance, repair, or minor
alteration of an existing facility/equipment and involves negligible or no expansion of the existing use; and
B. Accept the bid from General Pump Company, Inc., as the lowest responsive and responsible bidder and reject all
other bids; and
C. Approve and authorize the City Administrator to execute the Construction Contract with General Pump Company,
Inc., in substantially the same form as attached herewith, in an amount not to exceed $120,700 for procurement and
installation of the Well No. 11 pump and motor; and
D. Authorize a contingency amount of $12,000 in the event of unforeseen changes in the project and authorize the City
Administrator to issue change orders for an amount up to the contingency amount, if necessary.
Background:
The City of Vernon owns and operates eight domestic water wells. The wells provide approximately 7,000 acre feet of
annual water demand throughout the City. However, due to age and deferred maintenance, the wells have become
unreliable. When wells become inoperable and cannot meet system demand, imported water must be purchased. The
Water Division’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) focuses on construction of two new wells and rehabilitation of
three existing wells. The Division’s well program ensures that the City does not have to purchase expensive imported
water. The cost savings from not purchasing imported water is used to partially fund the CIP projects.
Rehabilitation of domestic water wells entails a two-step process that consists of well development and wellhead
replacement. The well development consists of exercising the hydrogeological formation and cleaning the well
casing/screens of tuberculate obstructions. The wellhead replacement consists of designing and replacing the well pump,
motor, and control valve. Step-one of the rehabilitation process was recently performed on Well 11 and the well was
fully developed. Staff commissioned Richard C. Slade & Associates to prepare the pump and motor specifications and
a Notice Inviting Bids (NIB) was issued on August 2, 2018. Bid responses were due on September 6, 2018.
The NIB was published in the newspaper and posted on the City website. In addition, staff solicited the NIB to the
following eight well pump companies: Orange County Pump Company, Mitchell Lewis & Staver, Bakersfield Well &
Pump Company, Best Drilling and Pump Inc., General Pump Company Inc., Layne Christensen Company, Southwest
Pump and Drilling Company, and National Exploration & Wells & Pumps. Two companies responded, namely General
117
Pump Company and Best Drilling and Pump Inc.; the respective bid totals were $120,700 and $141,200. Staff
conducted a bid analysis and General Pump Company, Inc. was identified as the apparent lowest bidder.
The Contract has been reviewed and approved as to form by the City Attorney’s Office.
Fiscal Impact:
The fiscal impact of the project is $120,700, plus the contingency amount of $12,000, for a total of $132,700. This item
was budgeted in the approved FY 2018-2019 Public Utilities Department budget.

he/she will complete the Work within the specified time.
C. Required Contract Completion
Time is of the essence in the completion of this Contract. The Work shall be completed in its entirety
and made ready for service within ninety (90) calendar days following the Date of Commencement
established in the Notice to Proceed (“Contract Time”). By executing the Contract, Contractor confirms
that the Contract Time is a reasonable period for performing the Work.
3.02 CITY'S DISCRETION TO EXTEND CONTRACT TIME
In the event the Work required hereunder is not satisfactorily completed in all parts and in compliance with the
Contract Documents, City shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to increase the number of Working Days or
not, as may seem best to serve the interest of City. A change order extending the Contract Time only will be
issued by the City should the City decide to increase the number of Working Days.
3.03 SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION
A. Contractor Request for Inspection and Punch List
When the Contractor considers that it has achieved Substantial Completion of the Work, or
designated portion thereof, Contractor shall prepare and submit to the Director a request for
inspection and a comprehensive punch list of items to be completed or corrected prior to Final
Payment. Failure to include an item on such punch list does not alter the responsibility of the
Contractor to complete all Work in accordance with the Contract Documents.
B. City Inspection
Upon receipt of the Contractor's punch list, the Director will make an inspection to determine whether
the Work or designated portion thereof is Substantially Complete. If the inspection discloses any
item, whether or not included on the Contractor's punch list, which is not sufficiently complete in
accordance with the Contract Documents so that the City can occupy or utilize the Work or
designated portion thereof for its intended use, the Contractor shall, before City's issuance of the
Certificate of Substantial Completion, complete or correct such item upon notification by City. The 148
Contractor shall then submit a request for another inspection by City to determine Substantial
Completion.
C. Certificate of Substantial Completion
When the Work or designated portion thereof is substantially complete, the Director will prepare a
Certificate of Substantial Completion which shall establish the date of Substantial Completion, shall
establish responsibilities of the City and Contractor for security, maintenance, utilities, damage to the
Work, and insurance, and shall fix the time within which the Contractor shall finish all items on the
Contractor’s punch list accompanying the Certificate. Warranties required by the Contract
Documents shall commence on the date of Substantial Completion of the Work. Contractor shall
deliver to City all warranty and guarantee documents and policies.
3.04 DELAYS AND EXTENSIONS OF TIME FOR CONTRACTOR
A. The Contractor shall take reasonable precautions to foresee and prevent delays to the Work. In the
event of any delay to the Work, the Contractor shall revise his/her sequence of operations, to the
extent possible under the terms of the Contract, to offset the delay.
B. If any delay to the Work is caused by circumstances within the Contractor's control, it is not excusable
and not compensable, and the Contractor will not be entitled to any extension of time or to any other
compensation for damages resulting directly or indirectly therefrom.
C. If any delay having a direct effect on the Work is caused by circumstances beyond the control of the
Contractor except for causes of delay specified in Paragraph 3.04-D., such delay may be excusable
and may entitle the Contractor to an equivalent extension of time, but not to any other compensation.
Excusable but not compensable causes include but are not limited to labor disputes, weather
conditions unfavorable for prosecution of the Work, and force majeure.
D. If any delay having a direct effect on the Work is caused by failure of the City to provide information
as specified, or necessary instructions for carrying on the Work, or to provide the necessary right of
way or site for installation, or failure of a utility to remove or relocate an existing facility such delay
may be compensable and may entitle the Contractor to an equivalent extension of time, and to
compensation for damages resulting directly from any of the causes of delay specified in this
paragraph.
E. The Contractor shall notify the Director in writing of any delay having a direct effect on the Work and
the causes thereof within 15 days from the beginning of such delay.
F. Any claim for an extension of time or for compensation for damages resulting from delay shall be
made in writing to the Director not more than 30 days after the ending of such delay. The Contractor
shall provide a written report evaluating the impact of the delay which shall include, at a minimum,
all of the following:
1. a narrative description of the delay and its impact on the critical path to Substantial Completion of
the Work or a portion of the Work designated by City;
2. a detailed breakdown of the Allowable Costs, if any, sought by Contractor due to the delay;
3. the number of days of extension sought by Contractor as an adjustment to the Contract time;
4. a statement that Contractor has complied with the requirements of the General Conditions for
written notice of delays, along with the dates and copies of such notices; 149
5. the measures taken by Contractor and Subcontractors to prevent or minimize the delay; and
6. the Contactor’s recommendations for reordering or re-sequencing the Work to avoid or minimize
further delay.
No extension of time or compensation for damages resulting from delay will be granted unless the
delay affects the timely completion of the overall Work under the Contract or the timely completion
of a portion of the Work for which a time of completion is specified.
G. The Director will investigate the facts and ascertain the extent of the delay, and his/her findings
thereon shall be final and conclusive.
H. Failure of the Contractor to give written notice of a delay, or to submit or document a claim for an
extension of time or for damages resulting from delay in the manner and within the times stated
above shall constitute a waiver of all claims thereto.
I. When a Contractor experiences two concurrent delays, one compensable and the other excusable,
no compensation other than an extension of time will be allowed.
J. An extension of time must be approved by the Director to be effective, but an extension of time
whether with or without consent of the sureties, shall not release the sureties from their obligations,
which shall remain in full force until the discharge of the Contract.
3.05 CLIMATIC CONDITIONS
A. The Director may suspend the Work whenever weather conditions or conditions resulting from
inclement weather are unfavorable for the prosecution of the Work. The delay caused by such
suspension may entitle the Contractor to an extension of time but not to any other compensation.
B. If the Contractor believes that Work should be suspended under this Paragraph 3.05, he/she may
request such suspension. The delay caused by such suspension may entitle the Contractor to an
extension of time but not to any other compensation.
C. No extension of time will be granted for suspension of Work unless the suspension affects the timely
completion of all Work under the Contract or the timely completion of a portion of the Work for which
a time of completion is specified. Determination that the suspension for inclement weather conditions
or conditions resulting from inclement weather affects timely completion and entitles the Contractor
to an extension of time shall be made and agreed to in writing by the Director and the Contractor on
each day that Work is suspended. In the event of failure to agree, the Contractor may protest under
the provisions of Paragraph 7.07.
D. If Work is suspended and an extension of time is granted under this Paragraph 3.05 the Contractor
will be entitled to a one day extension of time for each day that he/she is unable to Work at least
one-half of his/her current normal Work day; and if the Work is suspended at the regular starting time
on any Work day and the Contractor's Workforce is dismissed as a result thereof, then he/she will
be entitled to a one day extension of time whether or not conditions change thereafter and the major
portion of the day is suitable for Work.
3.06 COMPLETION AND ACCEPTANCE
A. Upon request by the Contractor, the Director shall conduct a final inspection of the Work. If, in the
Director’s opinion, Final Completion has been achieved, the Director will accept the Work by issuing a
“Notice of Completion” of the Work to the Contractor. Upon the issuance of the Notice of Completion 150
the Contractor will be relieved from responsibility to protect the Work.
B. Within 15 calendar days after issuing the Notice of Completion, the Director will record the Notice of
Completion with the County Recorder.
3.07 LIQUIDATED DAMAGES
A. Contractor and City agree to liquidate damages in the amount of seven hundred fifty dollars ($750) per
day, with respect to Contractor’s failure to achieve Substantial Completion of the Work within the
Contract Time. The Parties intend for the liquidated damages set forth herein to apply to this Contract
as set forth in Government Code Section 53069.85. The Contractor acknowledges and agrees that the
liquidated damages are intended to compensate City solely for the Contractor’s failure to meet the
deadline for Substantial Completion and shall not excuse Contractor from liability from any other
breach, including any failure of the Work to conform to the requirements of the Contract Documents.
B. In the event that Contractor fails to achieve Substantial Completion of the Work within the Contract
Time, Contractor agrees to pay City the amount specified in the Contract form for each calendar day
that Substantial Completion is delayed.
C. Contractor and City acknowledge and agree that the foregoing liquidated damages have been set
based on an evaluation of damages that the City will incur in the event of late completion of the Work.
Contractor and City acknowledge and agree that the amount of such damages are impossible to
ascertain as of the effective date hereof and have agreed to such liquidated damages to fix City’s
damages and to avoid later disputes. It is understood and agreed by Contractor that liquidated
damages payable pursuant to this Agreement are not a penalty and that such amount are not manifestly
unreasonable under the circumstances existing as of the effective date of this Agreement.
D. It is further mutually agreed that City shall have the right to deduct liquidated damages against progress
payments or retainage and that the City will issue a Construction Change Directive and reduce the
Contract Sum accordingly. In the event the remaining unpaid Contract Sum is insufficient to cover the
full amount of liquidated damages. Contractor shall pay the difference to City.

151
ARTICLE 4 - CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULES
4.01 BASELINE PROJECT SCHEDULE
The Contractor shall submit his/her work Baseline Project Schedule, in electronic as well as hard-copy format,
to the Director at the pre-construction meeting showing in detail how the Contractor plans to execute and
coordinate the Work. The construction schedule shall show the sequence of work, critical path and estimated
time for completion of each segment of work. This schedule must be reviewed and accepted by the Director
before the Contractor will be permitted to begin work. In addition, the Contractor shall submit a detailed schedule
forecasting two (2) weeks of work describing each day’s work. This schedule shall be updated and submitted to
the City every other Monday during the construction period. The Contractor shall give 48 hours notice to the City
Engineer prior to the start of the work.
A. Format
1. At a minimum, the Baseline Project Schedule activities shall be coded on a work discipline basis
and by geographic area or location on the Project. The Baseline Project Schedule shall include a
detailed description of each activity code. The Baseline Project Schedule shall be based on and
incorporate contract milestone and completion dates specified in the Contract Documents. It shall
depict events, jobs, and their interrelationships and shall recognize the progress that must be made
on one task before subsequent tasks can begin. The schedule shall be comprehensive and shall
include all logical interdependencies and interactions required to perform the Work of the Project.
2. Overall time of completion and time of completion for each milestone shown on the Schedule shall
adhere to the specified Contract Time, unless an earlier (advanced) time of completion is
requested by Contractor, agreed to by the City and formalized by Change Order.
3. Contractor shall use the latest version of Microsoft Project or equivalent software agreed to by
the parties.
4. The City will review the submitted Baseline Project Schedule for conformance with these
scheduling requirements. Within fourteen (14) calendar days after receipt, the City will accept the
proposed Baseline Project Schedule or will return it with comments. If the proposed Baseline
Project Schedule is accepted by the City, it shall be deemed part of the Contract Documents. If
the Baseline Project Schedule is not accepted by City, Contractor shall revise the Baseline Project
Schedule, in accordance with the recommendations of the City, and re-submit same for
acceptance, no later than seven (7) calendar days after receipt of said recommendation.
5. Acceptance of Baseline Project Schedule by City, failure to include an element of work, or
inaccuracy in Baseline Project Schedule shall not relieve Contractor from the responsibility for
accomplishing the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents.
B. Float
1. Critical Work activities are defined as Work activities which, if delayed or extended, will delay the
scheduled completion of the milestones and/or time of completion. All other Work activities are
defined as non-critical Work activities and are considered to have float. Float is defined as the
time that a non-critical Work activity can be delayed or extended without delaying the scheduled
completion of the milestones and/or time of completion. Float is considered a Project resource
available to either party or both parties as needed. Once identified, Contractor shall monitor,
account for, and maintain float in accordance with Critical Path Methodology.
152
2. Delays of any non-critical Work shall not be the basis for an extension of Contract Time until the
delays consume all float associated with that non-critical Work activity and cause the Work activity
to become critical.
3. It is acknowledged that City-caused time savings (i.e., critical path submittal reviews returned in
less time than allowed by the Contract Documents, approval of substitution requests which result
in a savings of time for Contractor, etc.) create shared float. Accordingly, City-caused delays may
be offset by City-caused time savings.
C. Weather (This section applies only to projects of one (1) year duration or longer)
The completion time contemplated by this Contract anticipates ____________ lost days (Work Days)
due to normal weather conditions annually and prorated for any duration less than twelve months. Only
unusual or extreme weather conditions, as determined by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration, for the time of year will be considered as justification for an extension of time to complete
the Project, and only after the ____________ weather days have been utilized. Annual weather days
are not cumulative, and unused days shall become “float” for the benefit of the project, and the schedule
adjusted accordingly. The use of weather days by the Contractor shall be subject to all the conditions
of claim for an extension of time. The Contractor shall notify the City in writing within ten (10) days of
the commencement of each rain event.
D. Early Completion
While the Contractor may schedule completion of the Project earlier than the date established by the
Contract Documents, no additional compensation shall become due the Contractor for the use of float
time between the Contractor’s projected early completion date and the date for Substantial Completion
established by the Contract Documents, unless an earlier (advanced) time of completion is requested
by Contractor, agreed to by the City, and formalized by Change Order.
4.02 SCHEDULE UPDATES
A. With each Application for Payment submitted by Contractor (other than the final Application for
Payment), the Contractor shall submit to the City an updated Project Schedule revised to indicate the
Work completed, status of Work in progress, all progress slippages, corrective actions taken, or
slippage carry-over, for all anticipated delays or difficulties, and all other information required to
accurately present the actual status of the progress of the Work as of the date of the Application for
Payment. If the Contractor does not submit an updated Project Schedule with an Application for
Payment, City may withhold payment, in whole or in part, until the updated Project Schedule is
submitted. In the event that an update to the Project Schedule indicates a delay to the Contract Time
the Contractor shall propose an affirmative plan to correct each such delay, including overtime and/or
additional labor, if necessary. In no event shall any Project Schedule update constitute an adjustment
in the Contract Time, any deadline, or the Contract Sum unless any such adjustment is agreed to by
the City and authorized pursuant to Change Order or Work Directive.
B. At no time shall historical data contained within the updated Project Schedule (i.e. completed activities)
be removed and/or altered in any way. This historical data is to be preserved within each of the updated
Project Schedules and submitted with the final schedule update to reflect the actual start and finish
dates for each activity within the Schedule.
C. Any work stoppages within individual work activities that exceed seven (7) calendar days in duration
shall be clearly indicated within the updated Project Schedule. In cases where unplanned activity work
stoppages exceed seven (7) calendar days activities shall be added to the Project Schedule to clearly 153
indicate the work stoppage period and identify forecasted resumption and completion of the activity
where work has stopped. Contractor shall clearly note all schedule revisions when Project Schedule
updates are submitted, as required in this Paragraph 4.02 above.
4.03 NONCOMPENSABLE EXTRAORDINARY MEASURES
A. Should the City determine, in its sole judgment, that the performance of the Work has not progressed
to the level of completion required by the Contract Documents, City shall have the right to order the
Contractor to take corrective measures to expedite the progress of construction, at no additional cost
to the City, including, without limitation, the following:
1. Working additional shifts of overtime.
2. Supplying additional manpower, equipment, and/or facilities.
3. Reschedule activities to maximize practical concurrence of accomplishment of activities.
4. Submitting a Recovery Schedule discussed above, for resequencing performance of the Work or
other similar measures.
5. Any other actions that may be necessary to mitigate delays.
B. Such Extraordinary Measures shall continue until the progress of the Work is no longer behind schedule
and/or reaches the stage of completion required by the Contract Documents. Contractor shall not be
entitled to an adjustment in the Contract Sum in connection with the performance of any such
Extraordinary Measures required by the City under this Paragraph. The City may exercise the rights
furnished the City pursuant to this Paragraph as frequently as the City deems necessary to ensure that
the Contractor’s performance of the Work will comply with the Contract Time or interim completion
dates set forth in the Contract Documents. If Contractor or its Subcontractors fail to implement or
commence Extraordinary Measures within ten (10) calendar days of City’s written demand, City may,
without prejudice to other remedies, take corrective action at the expense of the Contractor which shall
reduce the Contract Sum accordingly.
4.04 CONDITION OF PAYMENT
Compliance by Contractor with the requirements of the Contract Documents pertaining to preparation,
submission, revising and updating of the Schedule is a condition precedent to City’s obligation to make payment
to Contractor of any or all sums that might otherwise be due to Contractor in the absence of such noncompliance.
Payment by City under circumstances in which City, for any reason, fails or elects not to assert its right to withhold
payment for noncompliance with this Paragraph shall not be construed as a waiver of the right to withhold future
payments on account of such noncompliance or any other noncompliance.

5.01 TERMINATION BY THE CONTRACTOR
A. Contractor shall have the right to terminate its performance of the Contract only upon the occurrence

B. City’s Rights.
When any of the reasons specified in Paragraph 5.02-A exist, the City may, in addition to and without

forth in Paragraph 5.04 and Contractor’s remedy for wrongful termination in such event shall be limited 156
to the recovery of the payments permitted for termination for convenience as set forth in Paragraph
5.04.
5.03 PARTIAL DELETION OR SUSPENSION OF WORK BY THE CITY
A. Contractor agrees that the City may determine whether any or all of the Work described in the Contract
Documents shall be deleted or performance suspended without electing to terminate the Contractor’s
performance under the Contract and without any penalty being incurred by the City.
B. Any such partial deletion or suspension of the Work shall in no way void or invalidate the Contract nor

Contract.
C. The City shall have the right to later have any such suspended or deleted Work performed by Contractor
or others without any penalty to the City.

159
ARTICLE 6 – CHANGES
6.01 CITY'S RIGHT TO ORDER CHANGES
The City, without invalidating the Contract, may authorize changes in the Work consisting of additions,
deletions, or other revisions, with the Contract Sum and Contract Time being adjusted accordingly, if
necessary. All such changes in the Work shall be authorized by Change Order or Construction Change
Directive and Contractor shall perform such changes in the Work according to the applicable requirements
of the Contract Documents.
6.02 APPLICABLE PROVISIONS
Changes in the Work shall be performed under applicable provisions of the Contract Documents. The
Contractor shall proceed promptly and diligently with the change, unless otherwise provided in the Change
Order or Construction Change Directive. It is of the essence to this Contract that all scope changes in the
Work that form the basis of an adjustment of the Contract Sum or Contract Time must be authorized in
advance in writing through either a Change Order or Construction Change Directive. A change in the Contract
Sum or the Contract Time shall be accomplished only by Change Order or Construction Change Directive.
Accordingly, no verbal directions, course of conduct or dealings between the Parties, express or implied
acceptance of alterations or additions to the Work, or claim that the Contract has been abandoned or the City
has been unjustly enriched by any alteration or addition to the Work shall be the basis of any claim for an
increase in any amounts due under the Contract Documents or a change in any time period provided in the
Contract Documents.
6.03 NOTICE OF SCOPE CHANGE
Contractor shall submit written notice of any change in scope to the Director if, in the Contractor’s opinion,
any instruction, request, Drawings, Specifications, action, condition, omission, default, or other situation
occurs that the Contractor believes constitutes a scope change or other matter resulting in Extra Work, for
which Contractor believes it is entitled to an adjustment of the Contract Sum or Contract Time. Such notice
shall be provided prior to performance of the Work affected by such occurrence and within seven (7) calendar
days after the discovery date of the circumstances of such scope change or other matters. The written notice
shall state the date, circumstances, extent of adjustment to the Contact Sum or the Contract Time, if any,
requested. The mere presentation of such notice shall not establish the existence of any right by Contractor
to adjustment of the Contract Sum or Contract Time. Failure to provide such timely written notice described
herein shall constitute a waiver by Contractor of the right to any adjustment to the Contract Sum or Contract
Time on account thereof.
6.04 CHANGE ORDERS
A. Computation
Methods used in determining adjustments to the Contract Sum by Change Order may include those listed in Paragraph 6.06 below.
B. Accord and Satisfaction
Agreement on any Change Order shall be a full compromise and settlement of all adjustments to
Contract Time and Contract Sum, and compensation for any and all delay, extended or additional
field and home office overhead, disruption, acceleration, inefficiencies, lost labor or equipment
productivity, differing Site conditions, construction interferences and other extraordinary or
consequential damages (hereinafter called "Impacts"), including any ripple or cumulative effects of 160
said Impacts on the overall Work under the Contract arising directly or indirectly from the
performance of Work described in the Change Order. By execution of any Change Order, Contractor
agrees that the Change Order constitutes a complete accord and satisfaction with respect to all
claims for schedule extension, Impacts, or any costs of whatever nature, character or kind arising
out of or incidental to the Change Order. No action, conduct, omission, product failure or course of
dealing by the City shall act to waive, modify, change, or alter the requirement that (i) Change Order's
must be in writing, signed by the City and Contractor and; (ii) that such written Change Orders are
the exclusive method for effectuating any change to the Contract Sum and/or Contract Time.
6.05 CONSTRUCTION CHANGE DIRECTIVE (FIELD DIRECTIVE)
A. A Construction Change Directive shall be used in the absence of total agreement on the terms of a
Change Order. The City may by Construction Change Directive, without invalidating the Contract,
order changes in the Work within the general scope of the Contract consisting of additions, deletion,
or other revisions, the Contract Sum and Contract Time being adjusted accordingly.
B. If the Construction Change Directive provides for an adjustment to the Contract Sum, the adjustment
shall be calculated in accordance with Paragraph 6.06 herein (Pricing Changes in the Work).
C. Upon receipt of the Construction Change Directive, the Contractor shall promptly proceed with the
change in the Work involved and advise the City of the Contractor’s agreement or disagreement with
the method, if any, provided in the Construction Change Directive, for determining the proposed
adjustment in the Contract Sum or Contract Time.
D. If Contractor believes a Construction Change Directive constitutes a basis for adjustment to the
Contract Sum or Contract Time, then Contractor shall give a Notice of Scope Change provided in
Paragraph 6.03, followed by a submission of a Change Order Request as required by Paragraph
6.08. Contractor shall, if requested by City in such Construction Change Directive or in a subsequent
Construction Change Directive, proceed with the performance of the Work as described in the
Construction Change Directive. Failure of Contractor to proceed with the performance of Work, as
described in the Construction Change Directive shall give the City the right to carry out the Work, as
set forth in Paragraph 2.05.
E. A Construction Change Directive signed by the Contractor indicates the Contractor’s agreement
therewith, including adjustment in Contract Sum and Contract Time or the method for determining
them. Such agreement shall be effective immediately and shall be recorded as a Change Order.
F. If the Contractor does not respond promptly or disagrees with the method for adjustment in the
Contract Sum, the method and the adjustment shall be determined by the City on the basis of
reasonable expenditures and savings of those performing the Work attributable to the change,
including, in the case of an increase in the Contract Sum, Allowable Mark-Ups in accordance with
Paragraph 6.06(E) herein.
6.06 PRICING CHANGES IN THE WORK
A. Alternative Methods of Pricing
The amount of any adjustment by Change Order or Construction Change Directive increasing or
decreasing the Contract Sum shall be determined by the Director using one or a combination of the
following methods:
161
1. Lump Sum. By mutual acceptance of a lump sum proposal from Contractor properly itemized
and supported by sufficient substantiating data to permit evaluation. Such proposal shall be
based solely on Allowable Costs, as defined in Subparagraph 6.06-C, and Allowable Mark-Ups,
as defined in Subparagraph 6.06-E, and shall not include any costs or expense that is not
permitted by the terms of any provision of the Contract Documents.
2. Unit Prices. By unit prices contained in Contractor’s original Bid and incorporated in the Contract
Documents or fixed by subsequent agreement between City and Contractor. Unless otherwise
stated in the Bidding Documents, unit prices stated in the Contract Documents or agreed upon
by the County and Contractor shall be deemed to include and encompass all Allowable Markups.
3. Time and Materials. By calculating the actual Allowable Costs directly incurred, plus a sum for
Allowable Mark-Ups on such Allowable Costs.
4. Deletion of Work. By Unit Prices contained in Contractor’s original Bid and incorporated in the
Contract Documents, or by using the Schedule of Values to determine the value of the decrease
of the Contract Sum, less the value of any Work performed, plus a reasonable percentage of
the decrease for the Contractor’s saved overhead unless the Schedule of Values allocates
general conditions costs to individual line items, in which case no percentage of the decrease
shall be added. When a change consists of both addition and deletion of Work, the added costs
and deleted costs shall be calculated separately, and then added together, resulting in the net
cost for the change. The Allowable Mark-Up shall be applied to this net cost.
B. Contractor Maintenance of Daily Records for Changes
1. In the event that Contractor is directed to perform any Extra Work, or should Contractor
encounter conditions which the Contractor believes would obligate the City to adjust the Contract
Sum and/or the Contract Time, Contractor shall maintain detailed records of the cost of such
changes on a daily basis summarized in a daily report supplemented by back-up records. Such
records shall include without limitation:
a. Labor. At the close of each day on which such Extra Work is performed, Contractor
shall submit an Extra Work labor report, on forms provided by Director, to Director that
sets forth a list of the actual hours spent in performing the Extra Work, that clearly
differentiates between the labor expended on the Extra Work and other Work, and the
Allowable Costs for such Extra Work performed that day showing the names of
workers, their classifications, hours worked and hourly rates.
b. Materials, Equipment. A list of Allowable Costs of materials and equipment consumed
in the performance of the Extra Work on the day on which such Extra Work is
performed, together with copies of applicable delivery tickets and unit prices for all
materials and for all equipment used the type of equipment, identification number,
hours of operation (including loading and transportation) and hourly/daily rates involved
for that day.
c. Other Services or Expenditures. A list of other services and expenditures constituting
Allowable Costs incurred in performance of the Extra Work on the day on which such
Extra Work is performed, along with documentation verifying the amounts thereof in
such detail as Director may require.
2. In the event that more than one change to the Work is performed by the Contractor in a calendar
day, Contractor shall maintain separate records of labor, construction equipment, materials, and 162
equipment for each such change. In the event that any Subcontractor of any tier shall provide
or perform any portion of any change to the Work, Contractor shall require that each such
Subcontractor maintain records in accordance with this Section.
3. Each daily record maintained hereunder shall be signed by Contractor; such signature shall be
deemed Contractor’s representation and warranty that all information contained therein is true,
accurate, complete, and relates only to the change referenced therein. All records maintained
by Subcontractors of any tier, relating to the costs of a change in the Work shall be signed by
such Subcontractor’s authorized project manager or superintendent.
All such records shall be forwarded to the Director on the day the Work is performed (same day)
for independent verification. The Director shall attempt to review and reconcile costs for
changes on a daily basis. Records not available on the day on which the Extra Work is
performed, such as, but not limited to, material invoices, shall be submitted as soon as they are
available but not later than five (5) calendar days after the earlier of the day of delivery or
incorporation of the particular item of Extra Work at the Site.
4. The Director may additionally require authentication of all time and material tickets and invoices
by persons designated by the Director for such purpose. In the event that Contractor shall fail
or refuse, for any reason, to maintain or make available for inspection, review, and/or
reproduction such records, adjustments to the Contract Sum or Contract Time, if any, on account
of any change to the Work may be deemed waived for that day. Contractor’s obligation to
maintain back-up records hereunder is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other Contractor
obligation under the Contract Documents with respect to changes to the Work.
5. Waiver by Contractor. Failure to submit such records as are required by this Paragraph daily
shall waive any rights for recovery of Allowable Costs incurred for Extra Work performed that
day. The failure of the Contractor to secure any required authentication shall, if the City elects
in its sole discretion to treat it as such, constitute a waiver by the Contractor of any right to
adjustment of the Contract Sum for the Allowable Cost of all or that portion of the Extra Work
covered by such non-authenticated ticket or invoice.
C. Allowable Costs
The term “Allowable Costs” shall mean in the case of Extra Work actual costs incurred by Contractor
and/or any Subcontractor, regardless of tier, and necessarily involved in direct performance of the
Extra Work, or in the case of deleted work the actual costs that would have been incurred in
performing deleted work by Contractor and/or any Subcontractor, regardless of tier, and shall be
limited to the following costs:
1. Labor. Straight-time wages or salaries, and overtime wages and salaries specifically authorized
by City in writing, for employees employed at the site, or at fabrication sites off the site, in the
direct performance of the Extra Work or that would have been incurred in the direct performance
of the deleted work, based on the actual cost for wages prevailing locally for each craft or type
of workers at the time the Extra Work is done or the deleted work is ordered eliminated. Labor
costs for equipment operators and helpers shall be reported only when such costs are not
included in the invoice for equipment rental. The use of labor classification which would increase
the Allowable Cost for Extra Work will not be permitted unless Contractor establishes the
necessity for such additional costs.
2. Benefits. Payroll taxes, insurance, health and welfare, pension, vacation, apprenticeship funds
and benefits required by lawful collective bargaining agreements for employees on straight-time 163
wages or salaries, and on overtime wages and salaries specifically authorized by City in writing,
for employees employed at the site, or at fabrication sites off the site, in the direct performance
of the Extra Work or that would have been incurred in the direct performance of the deleted
work.
3. Materials, Consumables. Costs of materials and consumable items which are furnished and
incorporated into the Work, as approved by City, or that would have been incorporated into the
Work in the case of deleted work shall be at the lowest price available to Contractor but in no
event shall such costs exceed competitive wholesale prices obtainable from other
Subcontractors, suppliers, manufacturers and distributors in the general vicinity of the site. If
City determines, in its discretion, that the cost of materials is excessive, or if Contractor fails to
furnish satisfactory evidence of the cost from the actual supplier thereof, then in either case the
cost of the materials shall be deemed to be the lowest wholesale price at which similar materials
are available in the quantities required at the time they were needed. The City reserves the right
to furnish such materials as it deems advisable, and Contractor shall have no claim for costs or
profits on materials so furnished. Material invoices must be included with the extra work report
to obtain payment.
4. Taxes. Sales taxes on the costs of materials and consumable items described in Paragraph
5.04-C.3 above.
5. Tool, Equipment Rental. Rental charges for necessary machinery and equipment, whether
owned or hired, as authorized in writing by City, exclusive of hand tools, used directly in the
performance of the Extra Work or that would have been used in the direct performance of the
deleted work. Regardless of ownership, such rental charges shall not exceed the hourly rate
derived from the most recently published “Rental Rate Blue Book for Construction Equipment”
or the “Rental Rate Blue Book for Older Construction Equipment,” as published by K-111, San
Jose, California, which is in effect at the time of commencement of the changed work. The
Contractor shall attach a copy of the rate schedule to the daily reports required by Paragraph
6.06-B, above. The charges for any machinery and equipment shall cease when the use thereof
is no longer necessary for the Extra Work or deleted work. No charge shall be allowed for use
of equipment or tools which have a replacement value of $500 or less. The allowable rental
rates shall include the cost of fuel, power oil, lubrication, supplies, small tools, necessary
attachments, loading, transportation, repairs and maintenance of any kind, depreciation,
storage, insurance, and all incidentals. Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph 6.06-E
below, no mark-up shall be allowed for overhead, profit or bond premiums for use of equipment
if the equipment is supplied by an equipment rental firm. If equipment is used intermittently and,
when not in use, could be returned to its rental source at less expense to City than holding it at
the Site, it shall be returned, unless Contractor elects to keep it at the Site at no expense to City.
Costs incurred while equipment is inoperative due to breakdowns, regular maintenance, or for
non-Working Days shall not be allowed. The rental time shall include the time required to move
the equipment to the Work from the nearest available source for rental of such equipment and
to return it to the source. If such equipment is not moved by its own power, then loading and
transportation will be allowed. Neither moving time nor loading and transportation costs will be
paid if the equipment is for use on the Project unrelated to the Extra Work. All equipment shall
be acceptable to City, in good working condition, and suitable for the purpose for which it is to
be used.
6. Royalties. Additional or saved costs of royalties due to the performance of the Extra Work or
deleted work.
164
7. Insurance, Bonds. Additional or saved costs of insurance and bonds, provided, however, that
for Extra Work such costs shall not exceed one percent (1%) of Items 1 through 6 above.
D. Costs Not Allowed
Allowable Costs shall not include any of the following:
1. Wages, salaries, fringe benefits and payroll taxes of Contractor’s and all Subcontractor’s non-
craft labor (above a Foreman level);
2. Overhead (including home office overhead), administrative or general expenses of any kind
including engineering, estimating, scheduling, drafting, detailing, etc., incurred in connection
with Extra Work;
3. Vehicles not dedicated solely for the performance of the extra of deleted work;
4. Small tools (replacement value not exceeding $500);
5. Office expenses, including secretarial and administrative staff, materials and supplies;
6. On-site and off-site trailer and storage rental and expenses;
7. Site fencing;
8. Utilities, including gas, electric, sewer, water, telephone, telefax, copier equipment;
9. Computer and data processing personnel, equipment and software;
10. Federal, state of local business income and franchise taxes;
11. Losses of efficiency or productivity; and
12. Costs and expenses of any kind or item not specifically and expressly included in Paragraph
6.06-C.
E. Allowable Mark-Up
1. If the Net Cost of Extra Work is less than or equal to $25,000, the Allowable Mark-Up shall be
computed as follows:
(a) For Extra Work performed directly by the Contractor’s forces, the added cost for all expenses
of overhead, profit, bond and insurance (“Allowable Mark-Up”) shall not exceed fifteen percent
(15%) of the net cost of the Extra Work.
F. Net Allowable Costs
If anyone scope change involves both Extra Work and deleted work in the same portion of the Work
and the additive allowable costs exceed the deductive allowable costs, the Allowable Markups on
the Extra Work will be only the difference between the two amounts.
6.07 CITY ORIGINATED REQUEST FOR ITEMIZED CHANGE ORDER PROPOSAL REQUEST
City may issue a Construction Change Directive or other written request to Contractor describing a proposed 165
change to the Work and requesting the Contractor submit an itemized change order proposal in a format
acceptable to City within ten (10) calendar days after City issues the request. The Contractor's change order
proposal shall include an analysis of impacts to cost and time, if any, to perform additional work, change
Work or delete Work, as applicable, including the effects and impacts, if any, on unchanged Work, estimates
of costs (broken down by the cost categories listed in this Paragraph), and Contractor's proposed methods
to minimize costs, delay, and disruption to the performance of the Work. If Contractor fails to submit a written
change order proposal within such period of time, it shall be presumed that the change described in the City's
original proposal request will not result in an increase to the Contract Sum or Contract Time and the change
shall be performed by Contractor without additional compensation to Contractor. City's request for itemized
change order proposal request does not authorize the Contractor to commence performance of the change.
If City desires that the proposed change be performed, the Work shall be authorized according to the Change
Order or Construction Change Directive procedures set forth herein.
6.08 CONTRACTOR ORIGINATED CHANGE ORDER REQUEST (COR)
If the Contractor believes that instructions issued by the City after the effective date of the Contract will result
in changes to the Contract Sum or Contract Time or if the Contractor otherwise becomes aware of the need
for or desirability of a change in the Work, Contractor may submit a written Change Order Request ("COR")
to the City in writing, in a format acceptable to City and in accordance with the notice provisions and other
requirements of Article 7 below for Claims. The COR must specify the reasons for the proposed change, cost
impacts and relevant circumstances and impacts on the Construction Schedule. The document shall be
complete in its description of the Work, its material and labor quantities and detail, and must support and
justify the costs and credits claimed by the Contractor. A Critical Path Method schedule Fragnet is required
to support and justify any additional time of performance requested by the Contractor. The City will not review
any COR which is incomplete. The Contractor may request additional compensation and/or time through a
COR but not for instances that occurred more than ten (10) calendar days prior to the notice date. Contractor's
failure to initiate a COR within this ten-day period or to provide detailed back-up documentation to
substantiate the COR within thirty (30) calendar days of the initial written notice shall be deemed a waiver of
the right to adjustment of the Contract Sum or the Contract Time for the alleged change. Any COR that is
approved by the City shall be incorporated in a Change Order or Construction Change Directive. If the COR
is denied but the Contractor believes that it does have merit, the Contractor shall proceed with the disputed
Work and may submit a Claim in accordance with the procedures set forth herein.
6.09 ISSUANCE OF WORK DIRECTIVE (UNILATERAL).
In the event of a dispute as to whether or not Extra Work is required, City shall have the right to unilaterally
issue a Work Directive; Contractor shall continue performance of disputed Work pending resolution and shall
maintain and submit to City all accounting and cost data necessary to substantiate Contractor’s cost of such
disputed Work.

ARTICLE 7 - CONTRACT PAYMENTS AND CLAIMS
7.01 GENERAL
A. Payment will be made at the price for each item listed on the bidding form or as Extra Work as provided
in the General Conditions.
B. Initial progress payment will not be made prior to approval by the Director of the Schedule of Values,
the Construction Progress Schedule, and the Schedule of Submittals.
C. No subsequent progress payment will be made prior to receipt by the Director of the monthly revision
of the Construction Progress Schedule.
7.02 SCHEDULE OF VALUES FOR PAYMENTS
A. Submission
Upon City’s request, the three (3) lowest bidders shall complete and submit a Preliminary Schedule
of Values, within seven (7) calendar days.
In addition, Contractor shall complete and furnish within seven (7) calendar days after receiving the
Notice of Award of the Construction Contract a Final Schedule of Values giving a complete
breakdown of the Contract Sum for each component of the Work.
B. Content
The Schedule of Values shall be in sufficient detail as the Director may, in its discretion, deem
necessary to evaluate progress at any point in the performance of the Work. Unless otherwise
specified in the Contract Documents, the Schedule of Values shall include, without limitation, a
breakdown of the general categories of Subcontractor work, direct overhead, profit and contingency,
and a further breakdown of the general categories of Subcontractor work into separate trade line
items of costs for Subcontractor services, labor and material, which is based on actual Subcontractor
contract, subcontract, purchase order or vendor prices. If requested by Director, Contractor shall
revise the Schedule of Values to allocate sums for Contractor overhead, profit and/or contingency
among the individual line items for trade portions of the Work. No amounts shall be reflected in the
Schedule of Values or Application for Payment for Extra Work or Deleted Work for which a Change
Order has not been executed by Contractor and City or for which a Construction Change Directive
has not been issued by City. Amounts that have been mutually agreed to by Change Order or
unilaterally determined by City pursuant to a Construction Change Directive shall be segregated from
the cost of the base Contract Work and separately listed by line item in the Schedule of Values. The
Schedule of Values must be prepared in sufficient detail and supported by sufficient data to
substantiate its accuracy as the Director may require.
C. Applications for Payment
The Schedule of Values, when approved by the Director, shall be used as a basis for Contractor's
Applications for Payment and may be considered as fixing a basis for adjustments to the Contract
Sum.
D. Revisions
If, at any time, it is determined that the Schedule of Values does not allocate the Contract Sum in a 167
manner that reasonably and fairly reflects the actual costs anticipated to be progressively incurred
by Contractor, it shall be revised and resubmitted for the Director’s approval.
7.03 APPLICATIONS FOR PAYMENT
A. Marked Schedule of Values
Five (5) Days prior to the date set forth in Paragraph 7.03-B below for the monthly progress payment
meeting, Contractor shall submit to Director a copy of the proposed Schedule of Values, marked to
show the percentage of completion certified by Contractor for each line item in the Schedule of
Values, including any stored materials approved for payment by City pursuant to Paragraph 7.03-D,
below and any withholdings from Contractor proposed by Director.
B. Monthly Review
For the purpose of expediting the progress payment procedure, Contractor shall meet with the
Director on or before the twentieth (20th) day of each month to review the Contractor's marked
Schedule of Values prepared in accordance with Paragraph 7.03-A, above. The Director shall revise
as appropriate and sign the marked Schedule of Values to verify such review. If any item in the
marked Schedule of Values submitted for payment is disputed during this review, Contractor agrees
to use its best efforts to resolve the disputed items with the Director before submitting its Application
for Payment. If the Director and Contractor cannot agree, then the percentage completion shall be
established at such percentage as the Director, in good faith, determines is appropriate to the actual
progress of the Work. No inaccuracy or error in the Director’s good faith estimate shall operate to
release Contractor or Surety from any responsibility or liability arising from or related to performance
of the Work. The Director shall have the right subsequently to correct any error and dispute any item
submitted in Contractor's Application for Payment, regardless of whether an item was identified as
disputed in the review process provided for herein.

City that:
1. the data comprising the Application for Payment is accurate and the Work has progressed to
the point indicated;
2. to the best of Contractor's knowledge, information and belief, the Work is in accordance with the
Contract Documents;
3. Contractor is entitled to payment in the amount certified; and
4. all sums previously applied for by Contractor on account of Work performed by Subcontractors
and that have been paid by City have been paid to the Subcontractors performing such Work,
without any retention, withholding or backcharge by Contractor.
D. Stored Materials
Payments may be made by City, at its discretion, on account of materials or equipment not
incorporated into the Work but delivered on the ground at the Site and suitably stored by Contractor
or stored off-Site under the control of City. Such payments shall only be considered upon submission
by Contractor of satisfactory evidence that it has acquired title to same, that the material or equipment
will be utilized in the Work and that the material is satisfactorily stored, protected and insured, and 168
that such other procedures are in place satisfactory to City to protect City's interests. To be
considered for payment, materials or equipment stored off-Site shall, in addition to the above
requirements and unless otherwise specifically approved by City in writing, be stored in a bonded
warehouse, fully insured, and available to City for inspection. City shall have sole discretion to
determine the amount of material and equipment that may be stored on the Site at any given time.
7.04 PROGRESS PAYMENTS
A. Conditions to Progress Payments
Contractor shall submit its Application for Payment to the Director, using such forms as required by
City, once a month on or before the first (1st) Day of the month following the month in which the

updating of the Construction Schedule as required by Article 4, above and other provisions of
the Contract Documents pertaining to preparation or updating of schedule information;
7. submission of certified payroll records as required by the Contract Documents;
8. submission of certifications by Contractor and each Subcontractor as required by applicable
collective bargaining agreements certifying that all employee benefit contributions due and
owing pursuant to any applicable collective bargaining agreement have been paid in full; and
9. compliance by Contractor with all of its other obligations for submission of documentation or

undisputed sums due within thirty (30) Days after receipt by Director of an undisputed and properly
submitted Application for Payment, calculated on the basis of ninety-five percent (95%) of value
determined pursuant to Paragraph 7.03-B above of the following:

Any Application for Payment determined not to be undisputed, proper and suitable for payment shall
be returned to Contractor as soon as practicable, but not later than seven (7) Days, after receipt by
City accompanied by an written explanation of the reasons why the payment request was rejected.
Failure by City or Director to either timely reject an Application for Payment or specify any grounds
for rejection shall not constitute a waiver of any rights by City. Applications for Payment that are
rejected shall be corrected and resubmitted within seven (7) Days after receipt by Contractor.
D. Interest
If City fails to make a progress payment to Contractor as required by Paragraph 7.04-B, above, City
shall pay interest to Contractor equivalent to the legal rate set forth in subdivision (a) of California
Code of Civil Procedure Section 685.010. The number of Days available to City to make payment
pursuant to Paragraph 7.04-B, above without incurring interest pursuant to this Paragraph shall be
reduced by the number of Days by which City exceeds the seven (7) Day return requirement
applicable to City as set forth in Paragraph 7.04-C, above.
7.05 FINAL PAYMENT
A. Retention
B. ln addition to withholdings permitted by Paragraph 7.09 below, a sum equal to five percent (5%) of
all sums otherwise due to Contractor as progress payments shall be withheld by city pursuant to
Paragraph 7.04-B from each progress payment (“Retention”) and retained until such time as it is due

including, without limitation, amounts to protect City against any loss caused or threatened as a result
of Contractor's failing to fully perform all of those obligations that are required to be fulfilled by
Contractor as a condition to Final Completion and Final Payment. Alternatively, City may elect, in its
sole discretion, to accept the Work without correction or completion and adjust the Contract Sum
pursuant to the Contract Documents.
E. Acceptance of Final Payment
Acceptance of Final Payment by Contractor shall constitute a waiver of all rights by Contractor
against City for recovery of any loss, excepting only those Claims that have been submitted by

7.06 MISCELLANEOUS
A. Joint Payment
City shall have the right, if deemed necessary in its sole discretion, to issue joint checks made
payable to Contractor and any Subcontractor(s) of any Tier. The joint check payees shall be solely
responsible for the allocation and disbursement of funds included as part of any such joint payment.
Endorsement on such check by a payee shall be conclusively presumed to constitute receipt of
payment by such payee. In no event shall any joint check payment be construed to create any
contract between City and a Subcontractor of any Tier, any obligation from City to such Subcontractor
or any third party rights against City or Director.
B. Withholding/Duty to Proceed
The payment, withholding or retention of all or any portion of any payment claimed to be due and
owing to Contractor shall not operate in any way to relieve Contractor from its obligations under the
Contract Documents. Contractor shall continue diligently to prosecute the Work without reference
to the payment, withholding or retention of any payment. The partial payment, withholding or
retention by City in good.faith of any disputed portion of a payment, whether ultimately determined
to be correctly or incorrectly asserted, shall not constitute a breach by City of the Construction
Contract and shall not be grounds for an adjustment of the Contract Sum or Contract Time.
C. No Acceptance
No payment by City or partial or entire use of the Work by City shall be construed as approval or
acceptance of the Work, or any portion thereof.
D. Contractor Payment Warranty

A. Withholding by City
In addition to any other amounts which City may have the right to retain under the Contract

B. Release of Withholding
If and when City determines, in its sole discretion, that the above grounds for withholding have been
removed and that all losses incurred or threatened have been paid, credited or otherwise satisfied, then
payment shall be made for amounts withheld because of them.
C. Application of Withholding
City may apply sums withheld pursuant to Paragraph 7.08-A above, in payment of any loss or
threatened loss as City determines, in its sole discretion, to be appropriate. Such payments may be
made without a prior judicial determination of City’s actual rights with respect to such loss. Contractor
agrees and hereby designates City as its agent for such purposes, and agrees that such payments
shall be considered as payments made under Construction Contract by City to Contractor. City shall
not be liable to Contractor for such payments made in good faith. City shall submit to Contractor an
accounting of such funds disbursed on behalf of Contractor. As an alternative to such payment, city
may, in its sole discretion, elect to exercise its right to adjust the Contract Sum as provided in the
Contract Documents.
D. Continuous Performance
Provided City pays the undisputed portion, if any, of funds withheld in good faith, Contractor shall
maintain continuous and uninterrupted performance of the Work during the pendency of any disputes
or disagreements with City.
7.09 SUBSTITUTION OF SECURITIES
A. Public Contract Code
Pursuant to the requirements of California Public Contract Code Section 22300, upon Contractor’s
request, City will make payment to Contractor of any funds withheld from payments to ensure
performance under the Contract Documents if Contractor deposits with City, or in escrow with a
California or federally chartered bank in California acceptable to City (“Escrow Agent”), securities
eligible for the investment of State Funds under Government Code Section 16430, or bank or savings
and loan certificates of deposit, interest-bearing demand deposit accounts, standby letters of credit, or
any other security mutually agreed to by the Contractor and the City, upon the following conditions:
1. Contractor shall be the beneficial owner or any securities substituted for monies withheld for the
purpose of receiving any interest thereon.
2. All expenses relating to the substitution of securities under Public Contract Code Section 22300
and under this Paragraph 7.04, including, but not limited to City’s overhead and administrative
expenses, and expenses of Escrow Agent shall be the responsibility of Contractor. 174
3. Securities or certificates of deposit substituted for monies withheld shall be of a value of at least
equivalent to the amounts of retention to be paid to Contractor pursuant to the Contract
Documents.
4. If Contractor chooses to deposit securities in lieu of monies withheld with an Escrow Agent,
Contractor, City and Escrow Agent shall, as a prerequisite to such deposit, enter into an escrow
agreement, using the City’s form, “Escrow Agreement for Deposit of Securities in Lieu of
Retention.”
5. Contactor shall obtain the written consent of Surety to such agreement.
6. Securities, if any, shall be returned to Contractor only upon satisfactory Final Completion of the
Work.
B. Substitute Security
To minimize the expense caused by such substitution of securities, Contractor shall, prior to or at the
time Contractor requests to substitute security, deposit sufficient security to cover the entire amount to
be withheld. Should the current market value of such substituted security fall below the amount for
which it was substituted, or any other amounts which the City withholds pursuant to the Contract
Documents, Contractor shall immediately and at Contractor’s expense and at no cost to City deposit
additional security qualifying under Public Contract Code Section 22300 until the current market value
of the total security deposited is no less than the amount subject to withholding under the Contract
Documents. Securities shall be valued as often as conditions of the securities market warrant, but in
no case less frequently than once per month.
C. Deposit of Retentions
Alternatively, subject to the conditions set forth in Paragraph 7.04-A above, upon request of
Contractor, City shall make payment of retentions directly to Escrow Agent at the expense of
Contractor, provided that Contractor, City and Escrow Agent shall, as a prerequisite such payment,
enter into an escrow agreement in the same form as prescribed in Part 4 of Paragraph A, above. At
the expense of Contractor and at no cost to City, Contractor may direct the investment of the
payments into securities and interest bearing accounts, and Contractor shall receive the interest
earned on the investments. Escrow Agent shall hold such direct payments by City under the same
terms provided herein for securities deposited by Contractor. Upon satisfactory Final Completion of
the Work, Contractor shall receive from Escrow Agent all securities, interest and payments received
by Escrow Agent from City, less escrow fees and charges of the Escrow Account, according to the
terms of Public Contract Code Section 22300 and the Contract Documents.
D. Time for Election of Substitution of Securities
Notwithstanding the provision of 7.04 A, B, and C above and California Public Contract Code Section
22300, the failure of Contractor to request the Substitution of eligible securities for monies to be withheld
by City within ten (10) days of the award of Contract to Contractor shall be deemed to be a waiver of
all such rights.
175

A. Contractor's Responsibility: Notwithstanding any other provision of the Contract Documents, the
Contractor shall be solely and completely responsible for conditions of the job site, including safety of
all persons and property, during performance of the Work. This requirement will apply continuously and
will not be limited to normal working hours. Safety and sanitary provisions shall conform to all applicable
Federal, State, County, and local laws, regulations, ordinances, standards, and codes. Where any of
these are in conflict, the more stringent requirement shall be followed.

work under this contract. Whenever, in the opinion of the Director, a condition exists which the
Contractor has not taken sufficient precaution of public safety, protection of utilities and/or protection of
adjacent structures or property, the Director will order the Contractor to provide a remedy for the
condition. If the Contractor fails to act on the situation within a reasonable time period as determined
by the Director, or in the event of an emergency situation, the Director may provide suitable protection
by causing such work to be done and material to be furnished as, in the opinion of the Director, may
seem reasonable and necessary. The cost and expense of all repairs (including labor and materials)
as are deemed necessary, shall be borne by the Contractor. All expenses incurred by the City for
emergency repairs will be deducted from the final payment due to the Contractor.
10.02 PROTECTION FROM HAZARDS

approval from the Director of the Contractor's detailed plan for worker protection from the hazards of
caving ground during the excavation of such trench. Such plan shall show the details of the design of
shoring, bracing, sloping or other provisions to be made for worker protection during such excavation.
No such plan shall allow the use of shoring, sloping or protective system less effective than that required

ARTICLE 15 - DISPUTE RESOLUTION
15.01 SUBMISSION OF CLAIMS
A. By Contractor
Contractor’s right to commence the Claims Dispute Resolution Process shall arise upon the Director’s
written response denying all or part of a Claim. Contractor shall submit a written Statement of Dispute
to the Director within seven (7) Days after the Director rejects all or a portion of Contractor’s Claim.
Contractor’s Statement of Dispute shall be signed under penalty of perjury and shall state with
specificity the events or circumstances giving rise to the Claim, the dates of their occurrence and the
effect, if any, on the compensation due or performance obligations of Contractor under the Construction
Contract. Such Statement of Dispute shall include adequate supporting data to substantiate the
disputed Claim. Adequate supporting data for a Claim relating to the adjustment of the Contractor’s
obligations relative to time of performance shall include a detailed, event-by-event description of the
impact of each delay on Contractor’s time for performance. Adequate supporting data to a Statement
of Dispute submitted by Contractor involving Contractor’s compensation shall include a detailed cost
breakdown and supporting cost data in such form and including such detailed information and other
supporting data as required to demonstrate the grounds for, and precise amount of, the Claim.
B. By City
City’s right to commence the Claims Dispute Resolution Process shall arise at any time following the
City’s actual discovery of the circumstances giving rise to the Claim. Nothing contained herein shall
preclude City from asserting Claims in response to a Claim asserted by Contractor. A Statement of
Dispute submitted by City shall state the events or circumstances giving rise to the Claim, the dates of
their occurrence and the damages or other relief claimed by City as a result of such events.
C. Claims Defined
The term “claims” as used herein shall be as defined in California Public Contract Code § 20104(b)(2).
15.02 CLAIMS DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCESS
The parties shall utilize each of the following steps in the Claims Dispute Resolution Process in the sequence
they appear below. Each party shall participate fully and in good faith in each step in the Claims Dispute
Resolution Process, which good faith effort shall be a condition precedent to the right of each party to proceed
to the next step in the Claims Dispute Resolution Process.
A. Direct Negotiations
Designated representatives of City and Contractor shall meet as soon as possible (but not later than
ten (10) Days after receipt of the Statement of Dispute) in a good faith effort to negotiate a resolution
to the Claim. Each party shall be represented in such negotiations by an authorized representative
with full knowledge of the details of the Claim or defenses being asserted by such party, and with full
authority to resolve such Claim then and there, subject only to City’s right and obligation to obtain City
Council [or other City official] approval of any agreed settlement or resolution. In the Claim involves the
assertion of a right or claim by a Subcontractor against Contractor that is in turn being asserted by
Contractor against City, then such Subcontractor shall also have a representative attend such
negotiations, with the same authority and knowledge as just described. Upon completion of the
meeting, if the Claim is not resolved, the parties may either continue the negotiations or either party
may declare negotiations ended. All discussions that occur during such negotiations and all documents 201
prepared solely for the purpose of such negotiations shall be confidential and privileged pursuant to
California Evidence Code Sections 1119 and 1152.
B. Deferral of Claims
Following the completion of the negotiations required by Paragraph 15.02-A., all unresolved Claims,
except those that do not involve parties other than the Contractor and City, shall be deferred pending
Final Completion of the Work, subject to City’s right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to require that
the claims Dispute Resolution Process proceed prior to Final Completion. In the event that City does
not elect to proceed with the Claims Dispute Resolution Process prior to Final Completion of the Work,
all Claims that have been deferred until such Final Completion shall be consolidated within a
reasonable time after such Final Completion and thereafter pursued to resolution pursuant to the Claims
Dispute Resolution Process. Nothing contained in this Article 15 shall be interpreted as limiting the
parties’ rights to continue informal negotiations of Claims that have been deferred until such Final
Completion; provided, however, that such informal negotiations shall not be interpreted as altering the
provisions of this Article 15 deferring final determination and resolution of unresolved Claims until after
Final Completion of the Work.
C. Legal Proceedings
If the Claim is not resolved by direct negotiations then the party wishing to further pursue resolution or
determination of the Claim shall submit the Claim for determination by commencing legal proceedings
in a court of competent jurisdiction.
15.03 NO WAIVER
Participation in the Claims Dispute Resolution Process shall not constitute a waiver, release or compromise of
any defense of either party, including, without limitation, any defense based on the assertion that the rights of
Contractor that are the basis of a Claim were previously waived by Contractor due to failure to comply with the
Contract Documents, including, without limitation, Contractor’s failure to comply with any time periods for
providing notices or for submission or supporting documentation of Claims.

or for such longer period as may be required by applicable laws.

the Project that Contractor is required to maintain pursuant to Paragraph 16.01, above.
16.03 CONTRACTOR NONCOMPLIANCE, WITHHOLDING
Contractor's compliance with Paragraphs 16.01 and 16.02, above, shall be a condition precedent to
maintenance of any legal action or arbitration by Contractor against City. In addition to and without limitation
upon City's other rights and remedies for breach, including any other provisions for withholding set forth in the
Contract Documents, City shall have the right, exercised in its sole discretion, to withhold from any payment
to Contractor due under a current Application for Payment an additional sum of up to ten percent (10%) of the
total amount set forth in such Application for Payment, until Contractor and its Subcontractors have complied
with any outstanding and unsatisfied request by City under this Article 16. Upon such compliance with this
Article 16, any additional monies withheld pursuant to this Paragraph 16.03 shall be released to Contractor.
16.04 SPECIFIC ENFORCEMENT BY CITY
Contractor agrees that any failure by Contractor or any Subcontractor to provide access to its books and
records as required by this Article 16 shall be specifically enforceable, by issuance of a preliminary and/or
permanent mandatory injunction by a court of competent jurisdiction based on affidavits submitted to such
court and without the necessity of oral testimony, to compel Contractor to permit access, inspection, audits
and/or reproduction of such books and records or to require delivery of such books and records to City for
inspection, audit and/or reproduction.

ARTICLE 17-MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
17.01 COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAWS
A. Notices, Compliance
Contractor shall give all notices required by governmental authorities and comply with all applicable
laws and lawful orders of governmental authorities, including but not limited to the provisions of the
California Code of Regulations applicable to contractors performing construction and all laws,
ordinances, rules, regulations and lawful orders relating to safety, prevailing wage and equal
employment opportunities.
B. Taxes, Employee Benefits
Contractor shall pay at its own expense, at no cost to the City and without adjustment to the Contract
Sum, all local, state and federal taxes, including, without limitation all sales, consumer, business
license, use and similar taxes on materials, labor or other items furnished for the Work or portions
thereof provided by Contractor or Subcontractors, all taxes arising out of its operations under the
Contract Documents and all benefits, insurance, taxes and contributions for social security and
unemployment insurance which are measured by wages, salaries or other remuneration paid to
Contractor's employees. If under federal excise tax law any transaction hereunder constitutes a sale
on which a federal excise tax is imposed and the sale is exempt from such excise tax because it is a
sale to meat for its exclusive use, then City, upon request, will execute documents necessary to show
that is a political subdivision of the State for the purposes of such exemption and that the sale is for the
exclusive use of the City, in which case no excise tax for such materials shall be included in the Bid or
Contract Sum.
C. Notice of Violations
Contractor shall immediately notify the City and Director in writing of any instruction received from the
City, Director, Architect or other person or entity that, if implemented, would cause a violation of any
applicable law or lawful order of a governmental authority. If Contractor fails to provide such notice,
then Director shall be entitled to assume that such instruction is in compliance with applicable laws and
lawful orders of governmental authorities. If Contractor observes that any portion of the Drawings and
Specifications or Work are at variance with applicable laws or lawful orders of governmental authorities,
or should Contractor become aware of conditions not covered by the Contract Documents which will
result in Work being at variance therewith, Contractor shall promptly notify Director in writing. If, without
such notice to Director, Contractor or any Subcontractor performs any Work which it knew, or through
the exercise of reasonable care should have known, was contrary to lawful orders of governmental
authorities or applicable laws, then Contractor shall bear all resulting losses at its own expense, at no
cost to City and without adjustment to the Contract Sum.
17.02 OWNERSHIP OF DESIGN DOCUMENTS
A. Property of City
All Design Documents, Contract Documents and Submittals (including, without limitation, all copies
thereof) and all designs and building designs depicted therein are and shall remain the sole and
exclusive property of the City and the City shall solely and exclusively hold all copyrights thereto.
Without derogation the City’s rights under this Paragraph, the Contractor and Subcontractors are
granted a limited, non-exclusive license, revocable at will of City, to use and reproduce applicable 204
portions of the Contract Documents and Submittals as appropriate to and for use in the execution of
the Work and for no other purpose.
B. Documents on Site
Contractor shall keep on the Project site, at all times and for use by City, Director, Inspectors of Record
and City’s Consultants, a complete set of the Contract Documents that have been approved by
applicable Governmental Authorities.
C. Delivery to City
All Design Documents, Contract Documents and Submittals in the possession of Contractor or
Subcontractors shall be returned to the City upon the earlier of Final Completion or termination of the
Construction Contract; provided, however, that Contractor and each Subcontractor shall have the right
to retain one (1) copy of the Contract Documents and Submittals for its permanent records
D. Subcontractors
Contractor shall take all necessary steps to assure that a provision is included in all subcontracts with
Subcontractors, of every tier, who perform Work on the Project establishing, protecting and preserving
the, City’s rights set forth in this Paragraph.
17.03 AMENDMENTS
The Contract Documents may be amended only by a written instrument duly executed by the parties or their
respective successors or assigns.
17.04 WAIVER
Either party's waiver of any breach or failure to enforce any of the terms, covenants, conditions or other
provisions of the Contract Documents at any time shall not in any way limit or waive that party's right thereafter
to enforce or compel strict compliance with every term, covenant, condition or other provision, any course of
dealing or custom of the trade notwithstanding. Furthermore, if the parties make and implement any
interpretation of the Contract Documents without documenting such interpretation by an instrument in writing
signed by both parties, such interpretation and implementation thereof will not be binding in the event of any
future disputes.
17.05 INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR
Contractor is an independent contractor, and nothing contained in the Contract Documents shall be construed
as constituting any relationship with City other than that of Project owner and independent contractor. In no
event shall the relationship between City and Contractor be construed as creating any relationship whatsoever
between City and Contractor's employees. Neither Contractor nor any of its employees is or shall be deemed
to be an employee of City. Except as otherwise specified in the Contract Documents, Contractor has sole
authority and responsibility to employ, discharge and otherwise control its employees and has complete and
sole responsibility as a principal for its agents, for all Subcontractors and for all other Persons that Contractor
or any Subcontractor hires to perform or assist in performing the Work.
17.06 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS
The Contract Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of City and Contractor and their 205
permitted successors, assigns and legal representatives.
A. City may assign all or part of its right, title and interest in and to any Contract Documents, including
rights with respect to the Payment and Performance Bonds, to (a) any other governmental person
as permitted by governmental rules, provided that the successor or assignee has assumed all of
City's obligations, duties and liabilities under the Contract Document then in effect; and (b) any other
Person with the prior written approval of Contractor.
B. Contractor may collaterally assign its rights to receive payment under the Contract Documents.
Contractor may not delegate any of its duties hereunder, except to Subcontractors as expressly
otherwise permitted in the Contract Documents. Contractor's assignment or delegation of any of its
Work under the Contract Documents shall be ineffective to relieve Contractor of its responsibility for
the Work assigned or delegated, unless City, in its sole discretion, has approved such relief from
responsibility.
Any assignment of money shall be subject to all proper set-offs and withholdings in favor of City and
to all deductions provided for in the Contract. All money withheld, whether assigned or not, shall be
subject to being used by City for completion of the Work, should Contractor be in default.
C. Except for the limited circumstances set forth in Paragraph 17.06-B, above, Contractor may not,
without the prior written consent of City in its sole discretion, voluntarily or involuntarily assign,
convey, transfer, pledge, mortgage or otherwise encumber its rights or interests under the Contract
Documents. No partner, joint venturer, member or shareholder of Contractor may assign, convey,
transfer, pledge, mortgage or otherwise encumber its ownership interest in Contractor without the
prior written consent of City, in City’s sole discretion.
17.07 SURVIVAL
Contractor’s representations and warranties, the dispute resolution provisions contained in Article 15, and all
other provisions which by their inherent character should survive termination of the Contract and/or Final
Acceptance, shall survive the termination of the Contract and the Final Acceptance Date.
17.08 LIMITATION ON THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES
It is not intended by any of the provisions of the Contract Documents to create any third party beneficiary
hereunder or to authorize anyone not a party hereto to maintain a suit for personal injury or property damage
pursuant to the terms or provisions hereof, except to the extent that specific provisions (such as the warranty
and indemnity provisions) identify third parties and state that they are entitled to benefits hereunder. The
duties, obligations and responsibilities of the parties to the Contract Documents with respect to such third
parties shall remain as imposed by law. The Contract Documents shall not be construed to create a
contractual relationship of any kind between City and a Subcontractor or any other Person except Contractor.
17.09 PERSONAL LIABILITY OF CITY EMPLOYEES
City’s authorized representatives are acting solely as agents and representatives of City when carrying out
the provisions of or exercising the power or authority granted to them under the Contract. They shall not be
liable either personally or as employees of City for actions in their ordinary course of employment.
No agent, consultant, Council member, officer or authorized employee of City, shall be personally responsible
for any liability arising under the Contract.
206
17.10 NO ESTOPPEL
City shall not, nor shall any officer thereof, be precluded or estopped by any measurement, estimate or
certificate made or given by the City representative or other officer, agent, or employee of City under any
provisions of the Contract from at any time (either before or after the final completion and acceptance of the
Work and payment therefor) pursuant to any such measurement, estimate or certificate showing the true and
correct amount and character of the work done, and materials furnished by Contractor or any person under
the Contract or from showing at any time that any such measurement, estimate or certificate is untrue and
incorrect, or improperly made in any particular, or that the work and materials, or any part thereof, do not in
fact conform to the Contract Documents. Notwithstanding any such measurement, estimate or certificate, or
payment made in accordance therewith, City shall not be precluded or estopped from recovering from
Contractor and its Sureties such damages as City may sustain by reason of Contractor’s failure to comply or
to have complied with the Contract Documents.
17.11 GOVERNING LAW
The laws of the State of California govern the construction and interpretation of the Contract Documents,
without regard to conflict of law principles. Unless the Contract Documents provide otherwise, any reference
to laws, ordinances, rules, or regulations include their later amendment, modifications, and successor
legislation. If Contractor or City brings a lawsuit to enforce or interpret one or more provisions of the Contract
Documents, jurisdiction is in the Superior Court of the County of Los Angeles, California, or where otherwise
appropriate, in the United States District Court, Central District of California. Contractor and City acknowledge
that the Contract Documents were negotiated, entered into, and executed—and the Work was performed—in
the City of Vernon, California.
17.12 FURTHER ASSURANCES
Contractor shall promptly execute and deliver to City all such instruments and other documents and
assurances as are reasonably requested by City to further evidence the obligations of Contractor hereunder,
including assurances regarding assignments of Subcontractors contained herein.
17.13 SEVERABILITY
If any clause, provision, section, paragraph or part of the Contract is ruled invalid by a court having proper
jurisdiction, then the parties shall: (a) promptly meet and negotiate a substitute for such clause, provision,
section, paragraph or part, which shall, to the greatest extent legally permissible, effect the original intent of
the parties, including an equitable adjustment to the Contract Price to account for any change in the Work
resulting from such invalidated portion; and (b) if necessary or desirable, apply to the court or other decision
maker (as applicable) which declared such invalidity for an interpretation of the invalidated portion to guide
the negotiations. The invalidity or unenforceability of any such clause, provision, section, paragraph or part
shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the balance of the Contract, which shall be construed and
enforced as if the Contract did not contain such invalid or unenforceable clause, provision, section, paragraph
or part.
17.14 HEADINGS
The captions of the sections of the Contract are for convenience only and shall not be deemed part of the
Contract or considered in construing the Contract.
207
17.15 ENTIRE AGREEMENT
The Contract Documents contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter
hereof and supersede all prior agreements, understandings, statements, representations and negotiations
between the parties with respect to its subject matter.
17.16 COUNTERPARTS
This instrument may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but
all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

additional insured who is seeking coverage, or against whom a claim is made or suit is brought, except that the
naming of multiple insureds will not increase an insurance company’s limits of liability.

O. Contractor’s failure to comply with an insurance provision in this Agreement constitutes a material
breach upon which City may immediately terminate or suspend Contractor’s performance of this Agreement, or
invoke another remedy that this Agreement or the law allows. At its discretion and without waiving any other rights it
may have pursuant to law, City has the right but not a duty to obtain or renew the insurance and pay all or part of the
premiums. Upon demand, Contractor shall repay City for all sums or monies that City paid to obtain, renew, or 221
reinstate the insurance, or City may offset the cost of the premium against any sums or monies that City may owe
Contractor.

Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB), certain activities are subject to RWQCB
enforcement. To meet the standards of the Waste Discharge Requirements for Municipal
Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Discharges within the Coastal Watershed of Los Angeles
County, Except those Discharges Originating from the City of Long Beach MS4 (CAS004001),
the City of Vernon has adopted minimum standards for stormwater runoff from development
construction activities.
These minimum standards require the implementation of an effective combination of erosion
and sediment control Best Management Practices (BMPs) to prevent erosion and sediment loss,
and the discharge of construction waste at each site. At a minimum, the construction activity
associated with the construction project identified above shall be conducted in such a manner
that:
Prevents illicit construction-related discharges of pollutants into the MS4 and receiving
waters.
Implements and maintains structural and non-structural BMPs to reduce pollutants in
stormwater runoff from construction sites.
Reduces construction site discharges of pollutants to the MS4 to the maximum extent
practicable.
Prevents construction site discharges to the MS4 from causing or contributing to a
violation of water quality standards.
Note: The Stormwater BMP Construction Handbook sheets developed by the California
Stormwater Quality Association shall be used as guidance in determining and implementing
required BMPs. The BMP sheets may be reviewed at the Public Works counter during regular
business hours. A General Construction Permit shall be obtained and maintained for all
construction sites one (1) acre or greater. Additional conditions may be required for these
sites. 224

A. The Bidder shall include in his/her Bid price(s) any and all expense or costs that
may be necessary to complete the project in accordance with the requirements of
the Contract. The cost of all mobilization, preparatory work and operations for the
multiple movements of personnel, equipment, supplies, and incidentals to the
various project sites must be included in the various bid items, and no extra
compensation will be paid to Contractor.
B. The Bidder shall state for each item on the Schedule of Bid Prices form, in clearly
legible figures, the Base Bid, the alternates, and the unit price and item total or lump
sum, as the case may be, for which he/she proposes to supply labor, materials, and
equipment and to perform the Work. Bids must not contain any erasures,
interlineations, strike-throughs or other corrections unless the same are suitably
authenticated by affixing in the margin immediately opposite such erasure or
correction the initials of the person(s) signing the Bid. If any Bid, or portion
thereof, is determined by the City to be illegible, ambiguous or inconsistent, City
may reject such a Bid as being non-responsive.
C. In the case of a unit price item, the amount set forth, as the item total shall be the
product of the estimated quantity times the unit price Bid. In the event of a
discrepancy between the unit price Bid and the item total, the unit price shall
prevail; however, if the unit price is ambiguous, unintelligible, or uncertain for
248
any cause, or is omitted, or is the same amount as the entry for the item total, then
the item total shall prevail and shall be divided by the estimated quantity for the
item and the price thus obtained shall be the unit price. Where so indicated by the
makeup of the Bid Form, sums shall be expressed in both words and figures, and
in case of discrepancy between the two, the amount written in words shall govern.
D. All requested Alternates, if any, shall be Bid. See the Schedule of Bid Prices for
more information and the list of Bid Alternates, if any. If no change in the Base
Bid is required, enter “No Change.”
7. BID SECURITY
A. Each Bid shall be accompanied by cash or a cashier’s check or a certified check,
drawn on a responsible bank doing business in the United States payable to the
City, or a satisfactory Bid Bond in favor of the City executed by the Bidder as a
principal and a California admitted surety company (as defined by California Code
of Civil Procedure §§995.120 and 995.311) as surety (“Bid Security”).
B. All bonds must be issued by a California admitted surety insurer with the minimum
A.M Best Company Financial strength rating of “A:VII” or better. Bonds issued
by a California admitted surety not listed on Treasury Circular 570 will be deemed
accepted unless specifically rejected by the City. Bonds issued from admitted
surety insurers not listed in Treasury Circular 570 must be accompanied by all
documents enumerated in California Code of Civil Procedure Section 995.660. All
such bonds must be accompanied by a power of attorney from the surety company
authorizing the person executing the bond to sign on behalf of the company. If the
bonds are executed outside the State of California, all copies of the bonds must be
countersigned by a California representative of the surety. The signature of the
person executing the bond on behalf of Surety must be acknowledged by a Notary
Public as the signature of the person designated in the power of attorney.
C. Bid Security shall be in an amount not less than 10% of the Base Bid. Any Bid
submitted without Bid Security will be rejected as non-responsive. The Bid
Security shall be given as a guarantee that the successful Bidder will execute the
Contract and will provide the insurance, bonds and other required forms within
fourteen (14) calendar days after award of the Contract. Bidders will be entitled to
return of Bid Security except when a successful Bidder forfeits its Bid Security. A
forfeit may occur, for example, if the successful Bidder withdraws its Bid prior to
the expiration of ninety (90) calendar days after award of the Contract; attempts to
withdraw its Bid when the requirements of Public Contract Code § 5101 et seq. are
not met; or refuses or fails to execute the Contract and provide the required bonds,
insurance or certificates within fourteen (14) calendar days after award of the
Contract. In any one or more of these events, if City awards the Contract for the
Work to the next lowest responsible Bidder, the amount of the original lowest
Bidder’s security shall be applied to the Contract Price differential between the
lowest Bid and the second lowest Bid. Any surplus will be returned to the original
lowest Bidder. If the City rejects all other Bids presented and re-advertises, the
249
lowest Bidder’s Bid Security may be used to offset the City’s cost of re-advertising
and receiving new Bids. In that case, the surplus if any, will be returned to the
original lowest Bidder.
D. The Bid Security shall be held for ninety (90) calendar days after the award of the
Contract or until posting by the successful Bidder of the payment and performance
bonds, proof of insurance, return of executed copies of the Contract and necessary
certification(s), whichever first occurs, after which time the Bid Security will be
returned to all Bidders.
E. If a Bid Bond is to be submitted, Bidder shall use the form entitled "Bid Bond"
contained in the Bidding Documents, which Bid Bond shall be properly executed
and acknowledged by the Bidder and by a corporate surety authorized to transact
such business in the State of California.
F. Any alteration of said form of Bid Bond, or imperfection in the execution thereof,
as herein required, will render it informal and may, at the option of the City, result
in the rejection of the Bid under which the Bid Bond is submitted.
8. BIDDER'S AND SPECIALTY CONTRACTORS’ STATEMENTS OF
QUALIFICATIONS
A. Each Bidder shall be required to complete, execute and submit with its Bid, the
form entitled "Bidder's Statement of Qualifications." Notwithstanding the
provisions of Paragraph 22 herein, the Bidder’s Statement of Qualifications shall
not be public records. All information required by a Bidder’s Statement of
Qualifications shall be completely and fully provided. If no information is to be
filled in a blank space, then write "none." Any Bid not accompanied by a Bidder’s
Statement of Qualifications form completed with all information required may
render the Bid non-responsive. If the City determines that any information
provided by a Bidder in the Bidder’s Statement of Qualifications is false or
misleading, or is incomplete so as to be false or misleading, the City may reject the
Bid submitted by such Bidder as being non-responsive.
B. A responsible Bidder is a Bidder who has demonstrated the attribute of
trustworthiness, as well as quality, fitness, capacity and experience to satisfactorily
perform fully the requirements of the contract documents. In selecting the lowest
responsible Bidder, consideration will be given not only to the Bidder’s financial
standing but also to the general competency of the Bidder for the performance of
the work covered by the Bid including, but not limited to, the experience of the
Bidder in construction of public buildings for public agencies. By submitting a
Bid, each Bidder agrees that the City, in determining the successful Bidder and its
eligibility for the award, may consider the Bidder’s experience with similar types
of construction projects and facilities, conduct and performance under other
contracts, financial condition, reputation in the industry, and other factors which
could affect the Bidder’s performance of the work.
250
9. DESIGNATION OF SUBCONTRACTORS
A. Subcontractor Listing. On the Designation of Subcontractors form, the Bidder shall
list each Subcontractor whom the Bidder must disclose under the Subletting and
Subcontracting Fair Practice Act, Public Contract Code Section 4104. The Bidder
shall provide: each Subcontractor’s name, the trade and type of work that the
Subcontractor will perform, the location (address) of the Subcontractor’s place of
business, each Subcontractor’s license number, and the dollar value of each
Subcontractor’s labor or services. If additive Alternate Bid Items are included in
the Bidding Documents, the Bidder shall identify each Subcontractor performing
additive Alternate Bid Items, when such Work — or the combination of base
Contract Work and Alternate Work — exceeds one-half of one percent of the total
Bid Amount.
B. Subcontractors’ Licenses. At the time of the Bid Deadline and at all times during
performance of the Work, each listed Subcontractor shall possess a current and
active California Contractor’s license appropriate for the portion of the Work listed
for such Subcontractor, and hold all specialty certifications required for such Work.
C. Disqualification of a Subcontractor. The City has the right to review the suitability
and qualifications of any Subcontractor proposed by the Bidder. As part of this
review, the City may request a Bidder to submit additional information about one
or more of the listed Subcontractors—including, but not limited to—a statement
detailing the Subcontractor’s experience with pertinent information as to similar
projects and other evidence of the Subcontractor’s qualifications. If requested, the
Bidder shall provide the information to the City within the time specified in the
City’s written request. After due investigation, if the City has a reasonable
objection to any proposed Subcontractor, the City may, before giving the notice of
award, require the apparent successful Bidder to submit an acceptable substitute.
The City’s disqualification of a Subcontractor does not disqualify a Bidder.
However, prior to and as a condition to award of the Contract, the successful Bidder
shall substitute a properly licensed and qualified Subcontractor without an
adjustment of the Bid Price.
D. Work of Subcontractors. The organization or arrangement of the Specifications
and Drawings do not limit the extent of the Work for the Contract Documents.
Accordingly, all Bidders are encouraged to disseminate all of the Specifications,
Drawings and other Contract Documents to all persons or entities submitting sub-
bids to the Bidder. The omission of any portion or item of Work from the Bid or
from sub-bids, which is reasonably inferable from the Contract Documents, will
not be a basis for adjustment of the Contract Price or the Contract Time.
E. Ineligible Subcontractors. The successful Bidder is prohibited from performing
Work on the Project with any Subcontractor who is ineligible to perform work on
a public works project pursuant to California Labor Code Sections 1777.1 or
1777.7. In submitting its Bid, the Bidder certifies that it has investigated the
eligibility of each and every listed Subcontractor and has determined that none is
251
ineligible to perform work pursuant to the above code provisions.
10. CONTRACTOR’S NONCOLLUSION AFFIDAVIT
A Noncollusion Affidavit in the form provided by the City shall be signed under penalty
of perjury, certifying that the Bid is not the result of and has not been influenced by
collusion. Bidder shall submit this form with its Bid. Any Bid made without such affidavit,
or believed to be made in violation of the requirements set forth in the affidavit form, may
be rejected.
11. INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS
The Bidder shall submit to its insurance company or insurance agent the Insurance
Requirements in this Specification and the Contract Documents. The insurance company’s
underwriter or agent must complete the Insurance Requirements documentation which
states that the insurer’s underwriter or agent will furnish the City with the required
insurance documents within fourteen (14) days after the Bidder’s having been notified of
the Contract’s award. The Bidder shall submit this form with its Bid. Any Bid made
without this statement, or made with an incomplete statement, may be rejected.
12. EXAMINATION OF DRAWINGS, SPECIFICATIONS, AND SITE OF WORK
A. The Bidder shall examine carefully the site of the Work contemplated and the
Drawings and Specifications. The submission of a Bid will be conclusive evidence
that the Bidder has investigated and is satisfied as to the conditions to be
encountered, as to the character, quality, and quantities of Work to be performed
and materials to be furnished, the difficulties to be encountered, and to the
requirements of the Drawings, Specifications, and other Contract Documents. The
Bidder shall ascertain the locations of the existing utility services, and other
underground facilities, and provide for carrying out its operations so as to cause the
minimum possible inconvenience to the occupants of properties along any streets
affected. All Work and costs involved in the safeguarding of the properties of
others shall be at the expense of the Bidder to whom the Contract may be awarded.
B. The Bidder hereby certifies that it has examined the local conditions, has read each
and every clause of the Contract Documents, and that it has included all costs
necessary to complete the specified Work in its Bid prices, and the Bidder agrees
that if it is awarded the Contract, it will make no claim against the City based upon
ignorance of local conditions or misunderstanding of any of the provisions of the
Contract. Should the conditions turn out otherwise than the Bidder anticipated, the
Bidder agrees to assume all risks incident thereto.
13. PRICES AND PAYMENTS
Approximate quantities listed in the Schedule of Bid Prices are estimates given for
comparing Bids, and no claim shall be made against the City for excess or deficiency
therein, actual or relative. Payment at the prices agreed upon will be in full for the
completed Work and will cover materials, supplies, labor, tools, equipment, and all other 252
expenditures incident to a satisfactory compliance with the Contract, subject to all
applicable provisions in the Contract and General Conditions.
14. PERMIT FEES
Bidder shall exclude the cost of Permit Fees from Bidder’s Base Bid sum; Base Bid sum
shall include the cost of administration and coordination for all Governmental Approvals
and Utility Fees.
15. SUBSTITUTIONS
No requests for substitution of any material, device, product, equipment, fixture, form, or
type of construction shall be considered by City prior to award of the Contract. Bidders
shall submit all requests for substitution and substantiating data, within fifteen (15)
calendar days from the date of the Notice to Proceed. Bidder shall refer to the appropriate
provisions of the General Conditions for additional information regarding substitutions.
Authorization of a substitution is solely within the discretion of the City.
16. RETURN OF IMPROPER BIDS
Bids submitted after the Bid Deadline are non-responsive and shall be returned to the
Bidder unopened. Oral, telephonic, telegraphic, facsimile or electronically transmitted
Bids shall not be considered unless the Notice Inviting Bids expressly permits such means
of transmittal.
17. WITHDRAWAL OF BIDS
Bidder may withdraw its Bid either personally or by written request any time prior to the
scheduled Bid Deadline by notice to the City’s Contact Person designated in the Notice
Inviting Bids. If such notice is written, it shall be signed by the Bidder and shall be date-
stamped and time-stamped by the City upon receipt. Withdrawn Bids may be resubmitted
before the Bid Deadline provided that they are in full conformance with these Instructions
to Bidders. Once submitted, all Bids are irrevocable, except as otherwise provided by law.
Requests for withdrawal of Bids after the Bid Deadline shall be made only in accordance
with California Public Contract Code § 5100, et seq. Bidder agrees by submitting a Bid
that such Bid shall remain open, is irrevocable, and may not be modified, withdrawn, or
cancelled for a period of ninety (90) days after award of the Contract.
18. OPENING AND EVALUATION OF BIDS
A. Bid Opening and Tabulation. The Bids shall be opened and read in public after
the Bid Deadline has expired at the time and location listed in the Notice Inviting
Bids. A tabulation of all Bids received will be available for public inspection at the
Public Utilities Department, 4305 Santa Fe Avenue, Vernon, CA 90058 during
regular business hours for a period of not less than thirty (30) calendar days
following the Bid Deadline. The City reserves the right to accept or reject any or
all Bids and be the sole judge regarding the suitability of the products, services or
253
supplies offered; and/or to waive any irregularities or informalities in any Bids or
in the bidding process. The City further reserves the right to purchase all or fewer
than all items or quantities of each item listed in the Bidding Documents. The
award of the Contract, if made by the City, shall be to the lowest responsive and
responsible Bidder. If Bid Alternate Items are called for, the lowest Bid shall be
determined according to Paragraph 20 below.
B. Evaluation of Bids.
1. Mandatory Qualifications. A Bid shall be rejected as non-
responsive if the Bidder fails to document in the Bid that Bidder meets the
essential requirements for qualification described in the Notice Inviting
Bids. As part of the Bidder’s Statement of Qualifications each Bidder must
establish that it, as the current entity: (1) has successfully completed at least
three (3) similar projects involving similar work within the last three (3)
years
2. Responsive Bid. A responsive Bid is a Bid which conforms, in all material
respects, to the Bidding Requirements and Contract Documents.
3. Responsible Bidder. A responsible Bidder is a Bidder who has
demonstrated the attribute of trustworthiness, as well as quality, fitness,
capacity and experience to satisfactorily perform fully the requirements of
the Contract Documents.
4. Competency of Bidders. In selecting the lowest responsible Bidder,
consideration will be given not only to the financial standing but also to the
general competency of the Bidder for the performance of the Work covered
by the Bid including, but not limited to, the experience of the Bidder in
construction of public works for public agencies. By submitting a Bid, each
Bidder agrees that the City, in determining the successful Bidder and its
eligibility for the award, may consider the Bidder’s experience with similar
types of construction projects and facilities, conduct and performance under
other contracts, financial condition, reputation in the industry, safety record
and protocols and other factors which could affect the Bidder’s performance
of the Work.
19. AWARD OF CONTRACT
The City reserves the right to reject any or all Bids and to waive any or all information or
technical defects, as the interest of the City may require. Award of Contract or rejection
of Bids will be made by the City within ninety (90) calendar days following the Bid
Opening.
20. BASIS OF AWARD
A. A Contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible Bidder
254
meeting all requirements set forth in these Bidding Documents.
The City will award the Contract based on the lowest Base Bid without
consideration of the prices on the additive or deductive items.
B. City reserves the right in its sole discretion to select any, all, or none of the Bid
Alternates at the time of award of the Contract, regardless of whether such Bid
Alternates were used in the analysis to determine the lowest Bid.
21. EXECUTION OF CONTRACT
Within fourteen (14) calendar days after being notified by City that it has been awarded
the Contract, Contractor shall deliver to the City the following documents:
A. Three (3) copies of the Contract in the form included herein, properly executed by
Contractor and, if Contractor is a corporation, evidence of its corporate existence
and that the persons signing the Contract are authorized to do so. All signatures
must be notarized.
B. Properly executed copies of the (a) Performance Bond (b) Labor and Material
(Payment) Bond and (c) Maintenance Bond in accordance with the requirements
set forth in Article 13 of the General Conditions and in the form shown on Exhibits
1, 2 and 3 attached thereto. All signatures must be notarized.
C. Properly executed policies of all of the following: (a) the Commercial General
Liability Insurance, (b) the Automotive Liability Insurance, and (c) Professional
Liability, if required, and (e) the corresponding endorsements for each policy in
accordance with the requirements set forth in Article 12 of the General Conditions.
In the event that the fourteenth calendar day falls on Saturday, Sunday, a legal holiday for
the State of California, or on days when City Hall is closed, the aforesaid documents shall
be delivered by the following working day.
After receipt of said documents within said time period or any extension thereof granted
by the City, the City shall execute the Contract and return one (1) of said three (3) copies
to Contractor for its files.
22. PUBLIC RECORDS
City seeks to conduct its business openly. Except as set forth in paragraph 8.A., upon
opening, all Bids shall become a matter of public record and shall be regarded as public,
with the exception of those elements of each Bid that are identified by the Bidder and
plainly marked as “trade secret,” “confidential,” or “proprietary,” including any Statement
of Qualifications and financial statements to be submitted by Bidders. Each element of a
Bid which a Bidder desires not to be considered a public record must be clearly marked as
set forth above, and any blanket statement (i.e. regarding entire pages, documents, or other,
non-specific designations) shall not be sufficient and shall not bind the City in any way
255
whatsoever. If City receives a request from a third party to make a Bid available for
inspection and copying, the City will notify the Bidder of the request. If a Bidder instructs
the City that the information is not to be released, City will withhold the information,
provided, the Bidder expeditiously seeks a protective order from a court of competent
jurisdiction to prevent such release. If disclosure is required under the California Public
Records Act or otherwise by law (despite the Bidder’s request for confidentiality), the City
shall not in any way be liable or responsible for the disclosure of any such records or part
thereof.
Bidder shall indemnify, defend (including Bidder’s providing and paying for legal counsel
for City), and hold harmless City, its officers, agents, employees, and representatives from
and against all liability, claims, suits, demands, damages, fines, penalties, costs, or expenses
arising out of or alleging City’s refusal to publicly disclose one or more records that Bidder
identifies as protectable, or asserts is protectable.
23. PREVAILING WAGE RATES AND EMPLOYMENT OF APPRENTICES
A. Prevailing Wage Rates. The Bidder and all Subcontractors shall utilize the relevant
prevailing wage rate determinations in effect on the first advertisement date of the
Notice Calling for Bids in preparing the Bid Proposal and all component price
quotations, provided, however, that when Davis Bacon wage rates apply, such rates
are subject to increase by written notice, issued by Addendum not less than 10
calendar days before the Bid Deadline. Pursuant to California Labor Code Section
1770 et seq., the Director of the Department of Industrial Relations of the State of
California and the United States Secretary of Labor have determined the general
prevailing wage rates in the locality in which the Work is to be performed. Said
rate schedules are available on the Internet at www.dir.ca.gov/DLSR/PWD/. The
wage rate for any classification not listed, but which may be required to execute the
Work, shall be commensurate and in accord with specified rates for similar or
comparable classifications for those performing similar or comparable duties. To
comply with California Labor Code Section 1773.2, Contractor shall post, at
appropriate and conspicuous locations on the job site, a schedule showing all
applicable prevailing wage rates and shall also comply with the requirements of
California Labor Code Sections 1773 et seq.

Labor Code § 1777.5 and Title 8 of the California Code of Regulations § 230,
Contractor and Subcontractors of any tier who are not already approved to train by
an apprenticeship program sponsor shall, within ten (10) calendar days of signing
the Contract or subcontract, as applicable, but in any event prior to the first day in
which Contractor or Subcontractor has workers employed on the Project, submit
the Public Works Contract Award Information form (DAS Form 140) to the
appropriate local apprenticeship committees whose geographic area of operation
include the area of the Project and who can supply apprentices to the Project. City
reserves the right to require Contractors and Subcontractors to submit a copy of
said forms to the City.
256
C. Statement of Employer Fringe Benefit Payments. Within five (5) calendar days of
signing the Contract or subcontract, as applicable, the Statement of Employer
Payments (DLSE Form PW 26) shall be completed for each Contractor and
Subcontractor of any tier who pays benefits to a third party trust, plan or fund for
health and welfare benefits, vacation funds or makes pension contributions. The
form must contain, for each worker classification, the fund, plan or trust name,
address, administrator, the amount per hour contributed and the frequency of
contributions. Training fund contributions shall also be reported in this form. City
reserves the right to require Contractors and Subcontractors to submit a copy of
said forms to the City.
D. Notice to Subcontractors. Bidders shall notify all potential Subcontractors
submitting price quotations for portions of the Work of the requirements concerning
payment of prevailing wage rates, payroll records, hours of Work, and employment
of apprentices.
24. REGISTRATION WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS
(DIR)
No contractor or subcontractor may be listed on a bid proposal for a public works project
unless currently registered and qualified (including payment of any required fee) with the
DIR pursuant to Labor Code section 1725.5 [with limited exceptions from this requirement
for bid purposes only under Labor Code section 1771.1(a)]. No contractor or subcontractor
may be awarded a contract for public work on a public works project unless currently
registered and qualified (including payment of any required fee) with the DIR pursuant to
Labor Code section 1725.5. This project is subject to compliance monitoring and
enforcement by the DIR.
25. SPECIAL CITY REQUIREMENTS
Special City forms and their instructions are an integral part of these specifications and
failure to submit same may be grounds, in the sole discretion of the City, for rejection of
any Bidder.
A. Living Wage Ordinance and Prevailing Wage Where Applicable. Contractor, and
Subcontractors, if any, shall comply with the terms and conditions of Ordinance
No. 1187, the City’s Living Wage Ordinance. Upon request, certified payroll
B. Documents shall be provided to the City. If there is a difference between the Vernon
Living Wage rates and the California Prevailing wage rates for the same
classification of labor, Contractor and subcontractor shall not pay less than the
highest wage rate for that classification.
C. Equal Employment Opportunity in Contracting. The City of Vernon is committed
to a policy of equal opportunity in contracting. Qualified firms including small
businesses and businesses owned by women, minorities, and disabled persons are
encouraged to submit bids or proposals. Contractors expressly agree to comply
257
with the City's ordinances and regulations regarding Equal Opportunity
Employment as well as regulations that may be mandated by the source of the funds
supporting the Contract. Contractor certifies and represents that during the
performance of this Contract, it and any other parties with whom it may subcontract
shall adhere to equal employment opportunity practices to assure that applicants,
employees and recipients of service are treated equally and are not discriminated
against because of their age not discriminated against because of their race, religion,
religious belief, color, national origin, citizenship, ancestry, disability, sex, age,
medical condition, pregnancy, sexual orientation or marital status. Contractor
certifies that it will not maintain any segregated facilities.

4. The written Bid protest sets forth, in detail, all grounds for the Bid protest,
including without limitation: all facts, supporting documentation, legal
authorities, and argument in support of the grounds for the Bid protest. All

B. Any matters not set forth in the written Bid protest will be deemed waived. Any
Bid protest not conforming to the foregoing requirements and conditions will be
rejected by the City as invalid.

submission of this Bid and the City acceptance of same, the Bidder shall indemnify,
defend (with counsel acceptable to City), and hold harmless the City, its City

Subject: Well No. 11 Pump and Motor Project Bid Due September 6, 2018 @ 3:00 p.m.
General Pump Company, Inc. is pleased to submit our Bid regarding the above referenced
project. Enclosed are the Bidder's Proposal forms as well as the Addendum 1. Also included
are the alternate scopes of work referenced on page 33 of 171 for the original bid specification.
Alternate No. 1 Scope of Work —Install complete oil lubricated pump
Water lubricated pumps are best suited for static water levels (SWL) not exceeding 150 ft. Based
on the current SVVI, of around 230', an oil lubricated system is better suited for this well.
Furthermore, oil tubes protect the lineshaft from any sanding issues and have improved bearing
supports every 5 feet rather than every 10 feet for a water Tube. The mechanical seal is also
replaced with a packing box which is better suited for deep well applications.
Total Alternate No. 1(DEDUCTION) - $3, 600.00
Alternate No. 2 Scope of Work —Column Pipe Upgrade
Upon request, the City may opt to upgrade the column pipe to schedule 40 (.365" Wall) pipe.
Doing so extends the life of one of the most expensive components of the pump equipment.
Total Alternate No. 2 (ADDITION) + $5,800.00

City Council Agenda Item Report
Agenda Item No. COV-56-2019
Submitted by: Octavian Ngarambe
Submitting Department: Public Utilities
Meeting Date: February 19, 2019
SUBJECT
Renewable Portfolio Standard Annual Status Report for Calendar Year 2018
Recommendation:
A. Find that the Renewable Portfolio Standard Annual Status Report is exempt from California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA) review because, as a continuing administrative activity, such is not a “project” as defined in CEQA
Guidelines Section 15378. And even if such activity were a “project,” it would be exempt from CEQA review in
accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15307 and 15308 because the RPS activity managed by Vernon Public
Utilities is aligned with regulatory provisions to maintain, restore, or enhance the environment; and
B. Receive and File the Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) Annual Status Report for Calendar Year 2018.
Background:
The Public Utilities Department (VPU) has prepared the Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) Annual Status Report for
Calendar Year 2018. The Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) is a regulatory mandate to increase production of
energy from renewable sources. VPU is responsible for implementing and enforcing a renewable portfolio standard for
the utility that recognizes the intent of the legislation encouraging utilization of renewable resources, while taking into
consideration the effect of the standard on rates, reliability, and financial resources and the goal of environmental
improvement.
The City has purchased enough eligible renewable resources to meet its Compliance Period 3 (2017 – 2020)
procurement targets, and currently seeks additional renewable energy contracts for calendar 2021 through calendar
2030 to meet the goals of SB 100. Staff fully expects to secure sufficient resources to meet the renewable targets for
the remaining compliance periods by 2030.
Fiscal Impact:

Renewable Portfolio Standard
Annual Status Report for Calendar Year 2018
Background
Vernon Public Utilities (VPU) is responsible for implementing and enforcing a renewable portfolio standard for the
utility that recognizes the intent of the Legislature to encourage utilization of renewable resources, while taking into
consideration the effect of the standard on rates, reliability, and financial resources and the goal of environmental
improvement.
Performance Summary
The City met and exceeded the specified RPS target for Calendar Year 2018 with eligible renewable resources. The
primary resources were Vernon’s long-term solar and land fill gas. Also, the City issued an RFP to purchase additional
short-term renewable contracts to cover a portion of the compliance obligation for Calendar Year 2017 through 2020
to meet RPS Compliance Period 3. However, the City was able to negotiate and purchase renewable energy at lower
prices from other suppliers than those who responded to the RFP. The City purchased 250,515 MWhs of renewable
energy to meet RPS compliance requirements for Calendar Year 2018. Short-term renewable energy purchases can be
delivered to City of Vernon in any individual year or in multiple years included in the compliance period 3.
Vernon has also secured enough resources to meet its Compliance Period 3 procurement targets. As specified in the
RPS Program and CEC Regulations, the City is not required to procure a specific quantity of RPS-eligible resources
in any individual year during this Compliance Period 3, but the total renewable procurement for the four-year period
must be equal or greater than the sum of the following equation: (27 percent of 2017 retail sales) + (29 percent of 2018
retail sales) + (31 percent of 2019 retail sales) + (33 percent of 2020 retail sales). This amounts to an average
procurement of 30% for the entire four-year compliance period. The City’s procurement level for the same period
stands at 32%.
Renewable Energy Procurement in Calendar Year 2018
Pursuant to Vernon’s RPS Procurement Plan and Enforcement Program, action has been taken to acquire renewable
energy resources to meet the RPS requirement. The following is a brief description of renewable resources used to
meet compliance requirements.
sPower Antelope DSR Solar Project
The Antelope DSR Solar Project developed by Sustainable Power Group (sPower) was selected from many responses
to SCPPA’s Request for Proposals in 2014. Along with other SCPPA members, Vernon staff conducted in-depth
reviews of the many projects submitted through the SCPPA RFP process and concluded that the Antelope DSR Project
has many superior characteristics and an attractive pricing structure when compared to other renewable projects
considered. The final project price was the lowest for a technology offering on-peak energy profiles. Energy from the
project is qualified as Portfolio Content Category 1 -- the SB X1 2 mandated and most valuable/desirable class of
renewable energy. The Antelope DSR project is sited in the City of Lancaster, Los Angeles County. The project has
been in full commercial operation since January 1, 2017. Vernon has a 25 MW entitlement and associated
environmental attributes for a twenty-year term purchase.
Astoria Phase II Solar Project
Astoria II LLC has entered into a long-term power purchase agreement with SCPPA to build a Solar Photovoltaic
facility that has a net capacity of approximately 175 megawatts of electricity. This contractual arrangement is basically
considered firm generation, which is jointly owned with other municipal partners. By leveraging this asset with our
municipal partners, the City achieves the critical mass needed to build a large project/or contract. This strategy
practice reduces construction, financing, and operation costs and lets us achieve economies of scale and obtain the
most favorable financing rates.
The project located in Kern County started full commercial operation on December 31, 2016 with SCPPA taking
control of 75 MW power produced. The City of Vernon, in conjunction with other 5 municipal utilities from SCPPA,
is participating in the power purchase agreement (PPA) to purchase the facility energy for 20 years. The City Council
329
2 | P a g e
has approved a power purchase agreement (through SCPPA) with Astoria for its renewable energy that will entitle
Vernon to 20 MW of capacity for the period of January 2017 to December 2021, and 30 MW for the remainder contract
period of January 2022 to December 2036.
Puente Hills Gas to Energy Project
Puente Hills landfill gas station was constructed by Los Angeles County Sanitation District in the 1980s; this facility
is located in Southeastern Los Angeles County, near Vernon service area. It has been in full commercial operation
since January 1987 and has remained on-line 95 percent of the time. The facility produces approximately 46 MW
capacity.
The Puente Hills Gas-to-Energy facility is a conventional Rankine Cycle Steam Power Plant using landfill gas (LFG)
as fuel to generate electricity. LFG is fired in the plant’s boilers producing superheated steam. The superheated steam
is used to drive the steam turbine/generator to generate electric power.
The City (through SCPPA, a utility group) has entered into a power purchase agreement for 10 megawatts of renewable
power from the Puente Hills Landfill Gas–to-Energy Facility beginning January 1, 2017 and ending on December 31,
2030. For 2017, the City received an average of 7 megawatts from the facility.
Short Term Purchases
The City procured 250,515 MWhs of short-term renewable resources. These renewable resources were classified as
Bucket 1 bundled renewable RECs, Bucket 2 RECs or bundled electricity products from renewable resources
interconnected to a transmission network within the WECC that must be matched with incremental energy that is
scheduled into a California balancing authority area, and Bucket 3 RECs which represent the renewable and
environmental attributes associated with energy production, but do not include actual energy.
The following table provides an overall assessment of VPU renewable resources and RPS requirements during
Calendar Year 2018.

Renewable Portfolio Standard Compliance

3 | P a g e
The City of Vernon intends to meet all future procurement targets, barring any events and occurrences that are beyond
the City’s control. An increasing RPS mandate for POUs in the next twelve years has made Vernon more aware of
the need to include more renewables in its portfolio. Vernon will seek to develop a diverse RPS portfolio, with a
combination of landfill gas, solar PV, and other renewable resources, based on the forecasted need for additional
energy resources, as well as the economics and timing of any particular projects. It should be noted that VPU has
performed an integrated resource plan in order to guide its resource procurement decisions.
In order to meet the RPS mandates, Vernon plans to preserve its existing renewable resources, carry forward excess
procurement from one compliance period to the next, and look for timely and economic opportunities to diversify and
expand its RPS portfolio, while protecting Vernon’s customers from excessive rate increases that could jeopardize
economic growth and viability within the City.
In accordance with state regulations starting January 2017, a minimum of 75% of RPS procurement used for
compliance must meet the established requirements for Bucket 1, which for most practical purposes means use of
bundled energy from California sited renewable power plants. Existing Bucket 1 resources are in limited supply, and
it typically takes from three to five years to construct a new utility-scale renewable generation project. Vernon works
with Southern California Public Power Authority (SCPPA) to gain greater access to a broader pool of renewable
resources, through a competitive renewable procurement bidding process, which would otherwise be difficult to
leverage as a result of VPU’s size.
The City has acquired multi-year contracts for solar and landfill gas power generation to satisfy the new RPS
requirements as required by the State of California and SB 100. Since these renewable resources that come on-line
on January 1, 2017 were added into the supply portfolio, the proportion supplied by bundled renewable energy has
substantially increased and helped the City to meet the 33% RPS requirement by 2020, as required by SB X1 2.
Additional bundled renewable energy sources (potential renewables) that the City needs to acquire, will contribute
towards meeting Vernon’s long-term goal of reaching an RPS of 60% by 2030 as required by the new legislation
authored by California Senate President pro Tempore Kevin de León, SB 100.
The following table provides a summary of the current status of Vernon’s RPS procurement activities and the amount
of RPS purchases to meet the requirement of SB X1 2 and SB 100.

SUBJECT
Acceptance of Electrical Easement at 2665 Leonis Blvd. (APN 6308-004-013)
Recommendation:
A. Find that the acceptance of the Electrical Easement proposed in this staff report is not a “project” as that term is
defined under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15378, and even if it were a
project, it would be categorically exempt in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Sections 15301 (maintenance, repair or
minor alteration of an existing facility and involves negligible or no expansion of an existing use) and 15061(b)(3)
(general rule that CEQA only applies to projects that may have a significant effect on the environment); and
B. Accept the Electrical Easement, in substantially the same form as attached to this staff report, and authorize the
Mayor to execute the Certificate of Acceptance.
Background:
The property located at 2665 Leonis Boulevard is being developed and an easement is needed for the installation and
maintenance of City owned electrical conduit and equipment serving the property. The Public Works Department has
received a fully executed Electrical Easement by ALPINE-LEONIS, LLC, a California limited liability company,
owners for the property at the above-mentioned location, Assessor’s Parcel No. 6308-004-013.
The easement has been reviewed and approved by the Vernon Public Utilities Department and has been approved as to
form by the City Attorney’s Office.
Fiscal Impact:

governmental administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment and is
therefore not a “project” as that term is defined by CEQA Guidelines section 15378; and
B. Approve the second reading, and adopt Ordinance No. 1259 granting U.S. Tow, Inc. a franchise towing services
agreement; and
C. Approve the second reading, and adopt Ordinance No. 1260 granting Mr. C’s Towing of South Gate, Inc. a
franchise towing services agreement; and
D. Authorize the City Administrator to execute franchise agreements, in substantially the same form as submitted
herewith, with U.S. Tow, Inc. and Mr. C's Towing of South Gate, Inc. on behalf of the City.
Background:
NOTE: This item was presented to the City Council for a first reading on February 5, 2019. Additional information has
been added to the later portion of this staff report to address concerns raised during the first reading.
On October 2, 2012, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1198, establishing a selection process and franchise
agreement system for official police towing services. In addition, the ordinance set forth minimum requirements and
performance standards for equipment, facilities, personnel, and services for each tow company providing as needed
vehicle towing and storage services requested by the Vernon Police Department (“VPD”). The ordinance also
established procedures for suspending or revoking tow companies that fail to meet the minimum standards, violate
federal, state, or local laws, or for any cause which the VPD determines is in the public interest, necessary or general
welfare for the contract to continue.
On September 15, 2015, the City Council of the City of Vernon adopted Ordinances Nos. 1231 and 1233 granting
U.S. Tow, Inc. and H.P. Automotive & Tow, Inc. a franchise towing services agreement for a term of three years,
which has now expired.
On November 1, 2018, the City Administrator authorized staff to issue a Request for Proposals (“RFP”) seeking
qualified licensed Tow Providers to enter into a franchise agreement to perform rotational police towing and storage
services. The RFP specifically sought operators to furnish the VPD with licensed tow operations as may be required for
a three (3) year period from the date of execution. The RFP was emailed to seven (7) local tow companies operating in359
the general area and was posted on the City’s website. In addition, an RFP notice was published in the Los Angeles
WAVE news publication.
The VPD received five (5) responses to the RFP. The five proposals were reviewed and assessed by an evaluation
panel comprised of representatives from the VPD Administrative staff. Before conducting an assessment of each of
proposal, members of the evaluation panel conducted on-site inspections of each of the five tow companies. Each
proposal was evaluated using the criteria set forth in the RFP. The following criteria was used in evaluating each
proposal:
- Qualifications / Experience 40%
- References 20%
- Responsiveness to the RFP and Quality 10%
- Cost and Fees 30%
After evaluating and rating the five proposals, the towing companies were ranked according to the scores of the
evaluators. Based on the physical inspections, reference checks, and evaluation of the proposals, the evaluation panel is
recommending the following two tow companies: U.S. Tow, Inc. and Mr. C’s Towing of South Gate, Inc.. The two
companies named for award are the top ranking companies out of the five that responded to the RFP.
1.U.S. Tow Inc.
2.Mr. C’s Towing of South Gate Inc.
3.Citywide Towing Inc.
4.H.P. Automotive & Tow Inc., dba HUB City Tow
5.Hank’s Wilshire Tow Inc.
The City Attorney’s Office has prepared a standard agreement for official police tow services. This agreement
establishes the City’s requirements and minimum performance standards, payment of fees, reporting requirements, and
other terms and conditions related to vehicle towing and impound services for the VPD. The agreement is for a term of
three (3) years.
This agenda item was presented to City Council for First Reading at the February 5, 2019 City Council Meeting. At
the aforementioned meeting, the City Council approved the first reading of the franchise towing services agreement with
a request that language be added to have the Police Department (PD) track the tow companies’ response times moving
forward. In addition, the City Council requested that the PD provide them with information regarding the average
response times for each of the tow companies currently under consideration.
The Police Department now has procedures in place to track response times for tow services moving forward. In
addition, the two ordinances being proposed were revised to include language regarding data collection and reporting
requirements. PD will collect and maintain records of response times and will submit a written report summarizing such
data to the City Council at a regularly scheduled Council Meeting during the month of April throughout the term of the
franchise.
Following the first reading, the PD requested and received response time data from both U.S. Tow, Inc. and Mr. C’s
Towing of South Gate for the last three years (2016-2018). Being that Mr. C’s Towing of South Gate has never had
an agreement with the City for tow services, they provided response time data for the law enforcement agencies they
currently have agreements with. U.S. Tow, Inc. who has had an agreement with the City for the last 3 years provided
response time data specific to calls for service from Vernon PD. 360
The information provided by U.S. Tow, Inc. indicates the company had a three-year average response time (in minutes)
to requests from the PD of 11:26, and Mr. C’s Towing of South Gate had a three-year average response time of 8:38.
The request for proposals (RFP) issued for this purpose specified the average response time for any thirty (30) day
period pursuant to requests for tow service by the PD must not exceed twenty (20) minutes. The average response
times noted above demonstrate both tow companies have a track record of responding well within the twenty (20)
minute threshold outlined in the RFP, and that both companies will be able to adequately handle the PD’s service
requests.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no cost associated with execution of a franchise tow services agreement. The towing services franchise does
not increase the costs paid by vehicle owners, as these rates are fixed. Vehicle Code § 12110(b) allows a public
agency to collect administrative or franchise fee to recover its actual and reasonable costs incurred in connection with its
towing program.

rotation. The City does not expect to award more than t/vo (2) franchise agreements
under the rotational system, although City Council reserves the right to award conlracls
at its sole discretion, based on the proposals submitted.

2. BACKGROUNO
The City of Vernon was founded in 1905, is approximately 5.2 square miles in size and
is located approximately 5 miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles California. Over its
long history, Vernon has been developed as an industrial community. At the turn of the
20th century the lands that make up Vernon were comprised largely ot farmlands. The
presence of three major rail lines in the area led inf luential business and property owners
to encourage the railroad companies to run spur lines onto the farmlands. These rail
extensions enabled the creation of an "exclusively industrial" city. By the 1920's Vernon
was attracting large stockyards and meatpacking tacilities. ln the 1930's Vernon
became the location of choice lor many heavy industrial plants. As economic conditions
changed over the decades, these large scale industrial operations have relocated out of
Southern California and Vernon has attracted smaller, lighter industrial facilities. The
City's business lriendly environment, low cost utilities and key location lor trucking and
rail transport conlinue to position Vernon as an ideal location for industrial uses.
City Government: The City Council consists of five members, elected at-large, who
serve live-year staggered terms. The City Council annually appoints a Mayor and a
Mayor Pro Tem from its own membership to serve one-year terms.
Labor Force: Vernon has approximately 280 employees, and its departments include a
Fire Department, Police Department, Finance Department, Public Works Department,
Public Utilities Department, and Health and Environmental Control Department. Present
bargaining units recognized include the Vernon Police Officers Benefit Association,
Vernon Police Management Association, Vernon Firemen's Association, the Vernon Fire
Management Association, lnternational Brotherhood ol Electrical Workers Local 47, and
Teamsters Local 91 1 .

addition, Franchisee shall require each subcontractor to similarly maintain workers’ compensation insurance in accordance with the laws for California for all of the subcontractor’s employees. Compliance is
accomplished in one of the following manners: (1) Provide copy of permissive self-insurance certificate approved by
the State of California; or
(2) Secure and maintain in force a policy of workers' compensation
insurance with statutory limits and Employer's Liability Insurance with a minimal limit of $1,000,000 per accident. The policy shall be endorsed to
waive all rights of subrogation against City, its directors, commissioners,

performance of this Agreement. vii. Each insurance policy included in this clause shall be endorsed to state
that coverage shall not be cancelled except after thirty (30) days' prior written notice to City.

ix. Prior to commencement of performance, Franchisee shall furnish City
with a certificate of insurance for each policy. Each certificate is to be signed by a person authorized by that insurer to bind coverage on its
behalf. The certificate(s) must be in a form approved by City. City may
503
require complete, certified copies of any or all policies at any time.
x. Failure to maintain required insurance at all times shall constitute a
default and material breach. In such event, Franchisee shall immediately notify City and cease all performance under this Agreement until further
directed by the City. In the absence of satisfactory insurance coverage, City may, at its option: (a) procure insurance with collection rights for premiums, attorney's fees and costs against Franchisee by way of set-off
or recoupment from sums due to Franchisee, at City's option; (b) immediately terminate this Agreement and seek damages from the Agreement resulting from said breach; or (c) self-insure the risk, with all
damages and costs incurred, by judgment, settlement or otherwise, including attorney's fees and costs, being collectible from Franchisee, by
way of set-off or recoupment from any sums due to Franchisee.
Section 11. TERMINATION AND SUSPENSION.
The City may terminate this Agreement, without cause, by giving the Franchisee thirty (30) days written notice of such termination and the effective date thereof. The City may

Section 12. TEMPORARY SUSPENSION.

morals, including, without limitation, where there is a failure to maintain the minimum levels and standards of liability insurance or claims reserve or failure to keep in full force and effect any
applicable licenses or permits required by federal, state, local law, or regulation. The notice of
temporary suspension may be personally delivered to the party named and to the address given on the application pursuant to which such Franchise was issued and to the notice address
stated herein, if different, or, mailed by registered or certified mail to the party named at the
address given on the application pursuant to which such Franchise was issued and to the notice address stated herein, if different. Notwithstanding other notice provisions of this Agreement,
the temporary suspension is effective upon the earlier of either receipt or the expiration of 3 days from the date of mailing. The notice of temporary suspension shall include a notice of the date and time for termination hearing and all other information required by the Vernon Municipal
Code. The temporary suspension shall remain effective until the decision on suspension or
termination is made unless the suspension is lifted by written notice of the Chief of Police.
