18. A Resolution Authorizing the Use of the Design-Build Capital Project
Delivery Method for the Los Angeles River Closure Devices Project
Recommendation:A. Find that approval of the Resolution is exempt from
California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) review, because approving

Section 15378; and
B. Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the Use of the Design-Build Project
Delivery Method for the Los Angeles River Closure Devices Project.
Director of Public Works Daniel Wall reported on the proposed.

Director Wall responded accordingly
No public comment provided.
It was moved by Carol Menke and seconded by William Davis to: A. Find that approval of the
Resolution is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) review, because
approving the method by which a contractor will be selected is an administrative activity that will
not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment and therefore does not constitute

The City is currently in a dispute with Bicent (California) Malburg, LLC

(“MGS”), which has resulted in Bicent initiating suit against the City (see

the City issued multiple Notices of Default under that certain Power Purchase
Tolling Agreement, dated as of April 10, 2008 (as amended, the “PPTA”).
The City’s claims relate to, among other things, Bicent’s failure to timely
repair equipment, failure to timely produce documents requested under the
PPTA, misrepresentation of available capacity, and improper overbilling (by
over $ 6 million). The City’s claims also include various statutory claims
arising out of the improper billing by Bicent of Vernon. Based on these
claims, the City provided notice to Bicent that it disputed certain invoices and
would exercise its payment withholding rights under certain dispute resolution
provisions in the PPTA. Subsequently, on April 22, 2019, Bicent issued a
Notice of Event of Default for failure to pay.

Submitted by: Alexis Amado
Submitting Department: City Administration
Meeting Date: May 21, 2019
SUBJECT
Approval of Support and Maintenance Agreement with Advanced Utility Systems, a division of N. Harris Computer
Corporation
Recommendation:
A. Find that the approval of a Support and Maintenance Agreement with Advanced Utility Systems, a division of N.
Harris Computer Corporation ("Advanced Utility Systems") is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) review because it is an administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the
environment, and therefore does not constitute a "project" as defined by CEQA Guidelines section 15378; and
B. Approve a Support and Maintenance Agreement with Advanced Utility Systems, in substantially the same form as
submitted herewith, for a term of three years and a total amount not-to-exceed $143,614.05; and
C. Authorize the City Administrator to execute the Agreement with Advanced Utility Systems with effective dates of
July 1, 2019 - June 30, 2022.
Background:
The Information Technology (IT) Division need to renew the Support and Maintenance Agreement with Advanced
Utility Systems for the Computer Information Systems (CIS) Infinity billing software used by the Vernon Public Utilities
(VPU) Department. The software has been used by the City since 2005. The Support and Maintenance Agreement
would allow City staff to remain current with software updates and would allow staff to contact the vendor with
software support questions. The software is critical to VPU's revenue stream, as it is used to bill customers for Electric,
Gas and Water usage. In order to comply with the special good governance reform contract terms and procedures set
forth in Section 2.17.30(A) of the Vernon Municipal Code, staff is seeking approval to enter into a new Support and
Maintenance Agreement with Advanced Utility Systems for a period of three years. The coverage period would be
from July 1, 2019- June 30, 2022. Pursuant to Section 2.17.12(A)(2) of the Vernon Municipal Code, the Support and
Maintenance Agreement with Advanced Utility Systems requested herein is exempt from competitive bidding and
competitive selection. The support and maintenance services can only be obtained from Advanced Utility Systems, as
the CIS Infinity software is their proprietary software. The Support and Maintenance Agreement with Advanced Utility
Systems has been reviewed and approved as to form by the City Attorney's Office.
Fiscal Impact:
The annual cost of the Support and Maintenance Agreement with Advanced Utility Systems requested herein is
$42,152.51 for year 1, $45,103.19 for year 2, and $47,358.35 for year 3, for a total amount not-to-exceed
$143,614.05 for the three-year term of the agreement. Sufficient funds will be budgeted for fiscal year 2019/2020 and
budgeted accordingly in subsequent fiscal years.

Schedule “A”
Escrow Terms
Where the Organization has agreed to be a beneficiary of the Escrow Agreement (as defined
below) by entering into the Escrow Arrangement, the following sections shall apply to the
Support and Maintenance Agreement upon the execution of the Escrow Arrangement.
(a) Harris and Lincoln-Parry (the “Escrow Agent”) have entered into an escrow
agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”). The Source Code is provided by Harris to
the Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Organization has
a right to the Source Code pursuant to the provisions of this Schedule and the
Escrow Agreement as it has agreed to participate in the Escrow Arrangement and
is a beneficiary because the Organization has completed the Escrow Arrangement
document. Harris agrees that if an “Event of Default” occurs, then the Organization
shall have the right to one copy of the most current version of the Source Code for
the affected Software and associated Documentation.
(b) An Event of Default is defined as and shall be deemed to have occurred if Harris:
(1) ceases to market or make available maintenance or support services for the
Software during a period in which the Organization is entitled to receive or to
purchase, or is receiving or purchasing, such maintenance and support and Harris
has not promptly cured such failure despite the Organization’s demand that Harris
make available or perform such maintenance and support, (2) becomes insolvent,
executes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or becomes subject to
bankruptcy or receivership proceedings, and it continues to be subject to
bankruptcy proceedings ninety (90) days following either its application into
bankruptcy protection or the commencement of such proceedings, or (3) has
transferred all or substantially all of its assets or obligations set forth in this
Agreement to a third party which has not assumed all of the obligations of Harris
set forth in this Agreement.
(c) Harris will promptly and continuously update and supplement the Source Code as
necessary with all corrections, improvements, updates, releases, or other changes
developed for the Software and Documentation. Such Source Code shall be in a
form suitable for reproduction and use and shall consist of a full source language
statement of the program or programs comprising the Software.
(d) The governing License for the Software includes the right to use Source Code
received under this Schedule as necessary to modify, maintain, and update the
Software but for no other purposes outside the normal business operations of the
Organization.
(e) The termination of the Support and Maintenance Agreement shall immediately end
the Organization’s rights as a beneficiary under the Escrow Agreement and Escrow
Arrangement, as applicable.
(f) This Schedule “A” shall form part of the Support and Maintenance Agreement only
Page 41
where an Escrow Arrangement is entered into by the parties. The Escrow
Agreement provides that either the Escrow Agent or Harris will annually send
notices to the Organization of the Escrow Agent’s continued possession of the
Source Code and will also state the activity related to the Source Code provided to
the Escrow Agent by Harris for the previous year. The Escrow Agreement cannot
be terminated without the consent of each beneficiary (licensee) of the Escrow
Agreement.

staff to be an Urgent or High Priority call, Priority 2 is classified as a Medium Priority and
Priority 3 is deemed to be a Low Priority. The criteria used to establish guidelines for these calls
are as follows:
Priority 1 – High
System Down (Software Application, Hardware, Operating System, Database)
Inability to process bills
Program errors without workarounds
Aborted postings or error messages preventing data integration and update
Performance issues of severe nature impacting critical processes
Priority 2 - Medium
System errors that have workarounds
Reports calculation issues
Printer related issues (related to interfaces with our software and not the printer itself)
Security issues
Hand-held issues not preventing billing
Performance issues not impacting critical processes
Usability issues
Workstation connectivity issues (Workstation specific)

Questions on documentation
Call Process
All issues or questions reported to support are tracked via a support call or ticket; our support
analysts cannot provide assistance unless a support call or ticket is logged. Our current process
for logging calls and tickets includes the following: eSupport (via website), email, phone and
fax.
Your ticket must contain at a minimum: your organization name, contact person, software
product and version, module and/or menu selection, nature of issue, detailed description
of your question or issue and any other information you believe pertinent.
Our ticketing system or one of our support analysts will provide you with a ticket ID to
track your issue.
Your ticket will be assigned to the first available support representative.
As the support representative assigned to your ticket investigates your issue, you will be
contacted and advised as to where the issue stands and the course of action that will be
taken for resolution. If we require additional information, you will be contacted by the
assigned support representative to supply the information required.
All correspondence and actions associated with your ticket will be tracked in our support
ticketing system. At any time, if available to you, you may log onto our ticketing system
to see the status of your call.
Once your issue has been resolved, you will receive an automated notification by email
that your ticket has been closed. This email will contain the entire event history of the
issue from the time the ticket was created and leading up to the resolution of the issue.
You also have the option of viewing both your open and closed tickets, if available to
you, via our support ticketing system.
Contact the support department at your convenience for a status update on your
development issues, or log onto our ticketing system (if available to you) to view your
issues on-line.

City Council Agenda Item Report
Agenda Item No. COV-227-2019
Submitted by: Lilia Hernandez
Submitting Department: City Administration
Meeting Date: May 21, 2019
SUBJECT
Approval of an Attorney Services Agreement (Transactional) between the City of Vernon and Best Best & Krieger
LLP for Legal Consulting Services Regarding City Owned Housing
Recommendation:
A. Find that approval of the proposed Attorney Services Agreement (Transactional) with Best Best & Krieger LLP is
exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) review, because it is a continuing administrative and fiscal
activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment, and therefore does not constitute a
“project” as defined by CEQA Guidelines section 15378; and
B. Approve the proposed Attorney Services Agreement (Transactional) ("Agreement") with Best Best & Krieger LLP
("BBK"), in substantially the same form as submitted herewith, for a term of three years and an amount not to exceed
$60,000 for legal consulting services regarding City-owned housing; and
C. Authorize the City Administrator to execute the proposed Agreement with BBK with an effective date of May 20,
2019.
Background:
The Vernon Housing Commission has a need for legal consulting services regarding City-owned housing, as the
previous housing legal services agreement will expire on May 19, 2019. Pursuant to the City’s Purchasing Ordinance,
the proposed agreement is being awarded based on a recent competitive selection process completed by the City
Attorney's Office, wherein a Request for Proposals was issued and responses were evaluated by a panel of City staff.
Individual scores were assigned by members of the evaluation panel, and the top rated firms in various practice areas
were identified for further consideration. BBK was ranked as one of the top three full-service firms. Based on this
comprehensive competitive selection process, the City Attorney's Office selected BBK as the most suitable firm to
provide legal consulting services regarding City-owned housing.
Accordingly, staff is requesting authority to enter into an Attorney Services Agreement with BBK for a three-year term,
with total consideration not to exceed $60,000. Although it is a separate agreement, the total contracted amount with
BBK will surpass the $100,000 threshold, and pursuant to Section 2.17.02 (B) of the VMC, authorization from the
City Council is required in order to enter into the proposed agreement with BBK.
BBK’s proposed hourly billing rates for advisory/transactional services are $325 (partners) and $260 (associates). In
accordance with the City’s good governance contract terms and procedures, these rates are similar to or more
favorable than the rates charged to other governmental entities.
The proposed agreement has been reviewed and approved as to form by the City Attorney's Office.
Page 49
Fiscal Impact:
The fiscal impact to the City under the proposed contract term is $60,000. The remaining funds from the expiring
agreement for legal consulting services regarding housing are sufficient to cover the costs with the new proposed
agreement during the remainder of the 2018-2019 fiscal year. Sufficient funds will be budgeted accordingly in the
Public Works housing budget for the 2019-2020 fiscal year.

ATTORNEY SERVICES AGREEMENT (TRANSACTIONAL) BETWEEN THE CITY OF
VERNON AND BEST BEST & KRIEGER LLP FOR LEGAL CONSULTING SERVICES
REGARDING CITY OWNED HOUSING
This Agreement is entered into by and between the City of Vernon ("City"), a California
charter City and California municipal corporation (“City”), and Best Best & Krieger LLP, a limited
liability partnership (“Associate Counsel”). City and Associate Counsel are collectively referred
to herein as the “Parties.”
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the City desires to engage Associate Counsel, in association with the City
Attorney, to provide legal consulting and advisory services regarding City-owned housing and
the Vernon Housing Commission, and to provide advice and assistance in housing-related legal
matters from time to time; and
WHEREAS, Associate Counsel possesses the skills, qualifications, and experience
necessary to assist as Associate Counsel in said matters; and
WHEREAS, the City Attorney of the City of Vernon, herein referred to as "City Attorney,"
is the Chief Legal Advisor for the City and is charged with the responsibility of protecting the
interests of the City, its Council, officers, employees and agents, as provided for by California
law and the Charter and ordinances of the City.
WITNESSETH:
NOW, THEREFORE, the Parties agree as follows:
1.0 Scope of Services.
Associate Counsel hereby is associated as Counsel of Record in association with
the City Attorney to perform such legal services as may be required from time to time in
connection with specific transactional matters and other legal matters as specified in Exhibit “A”,
hereto. Arlene Prater, a principal member of the firm of Associate Counsel, shall be responsible
for the performance of services hereunder, and shall supervise any services performed by other
members of Associate Counsel's firm and by its employees, including but not limited to
Elizabeth Hull, a partner of the firm of Associate Counsel. It is understood that the City Attorney
is chief counsel of record for all purposes. In light of the subject matter and scope of this
Agreement, Associate Counsel’s performance hereunder shall be under the direction and
supervision of the City Administrator. Associate Counsel shall coordinate its services hereunder
with the City Attorney and Director of Public Works, to the extent required by the City
Administrator, and all performances required hereunder by Associate Counsel shall be
performed to the satisfaction of said City Administrator.
2.0 Time of Performance and Term.
The services of Associate Counsel are to commence upon the signing
hereof (“Effective Date”), and the written assignment of particular matters, provided, the
effectiveness of this Agreement is subject to approval by the City Council or City Administrator
(as appropriate), and shall be undertaken and completed in such sequence as to assure their
Page 52
3
completion as expeditiously as is consistent with professional skill and care. This Agreement
shall automatically terminate three (3) years from the Effective Date, subject and pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement.
3.0 Budgeting.
Associate Counsel handling specific City matters will be expected to
institute and to adhere to budgeting and planning procedures in the sole discretion of the City.
The general framework of the litigation budgeting and planning procedures is as follows:
3.1 Budget:
3.1.1 Associate Counsel shall, if requested by the City, provide a Plan
and a Budget, or revisions thereof, which will include a projection
of recommended steps to be taken in the assigned matter and a
range of costs for each step. The Plan and Budget will be
reviewed and updated as necessary, at least every twelve
months, or as more frequently requested by the City.
3.1.2 The Budget shall include an estimate of Associate Counsel’s
attorney’s hours, fees, and disbursements during each phase and
activity.
3.1.3 The Budget should include the anticipated cost of each line item,
the time estimated to complete it, and the identity (name, title,
billing rate) of the primary attorney handling it.
3.1.4 Each line item should be given a code number that can be used in
the billing process and in preparation of updated progress reports.
3.1.5 The Budget is not a fixed fee agreement and is subject to revision.
However, Associate Counsel understands and agrees that failure
to timely submit a Budget or major unjustified deviations therefrom
may constitute a breach and result in termination of this
Agreement with Associate Counsel.
3.2 Plan.
3.2.1 In addition to the Budget, Associate Counsel shall prepare a Plan,
at least every twelve months, or as more frequently requested.
The plan will start as an initial evaluation (before substantial costs
are incurred) and shall include, with a discussion (where
applicable): a) anticipated total costs; b) the primary issues; and
c) tasks toward completion.
3.2.2 The City shall be consulted by Associate Counsel regarding the
component parts of projects/cases handled so that the City can
determine, or secure a determination from the City Council, as
appropriate, tactics, strategy, and whether a particular activity
makes sense from an economic standpoint or can be done more
economically in another fashion.
Page 53
4
3.2.3 The City is to be consulted regarding staffing of litigation and is to
be advised of any significant shift in staffing.
3.2.4 The City is to be provided with copies of any billing manuals or
directions for billing practices in use by Associate Counsel within
thirty (30) days of signing this Agreement.
4.0 Compensation, Reimbursement and Methods of Payments.
4.1 Compensation.
Associate Counsel has established rates for the City of Vernon which are
comparable to and do not exceed the best rates offered to other governmental entities in and
around Los Angeles County for the same services. Fees for all services provided hereunder by
all billers shall be charged in accordance with Exhibit "B", which is attached hereto and fully
incorporated herein by reference. Associate Counsel’s grand total, not-to-exceed compensation
for the three (3) years of this Contract shall not exceed the amount of $60,000 without prior
approval of the City and written amendment of this Contract.
4.2 Reimbursement.
In addition to the compensation provided above, the City will reimburse
Associate Counsel only for the following expenses: printing, copying costs (not to exceed 10
cents a page), transcription fees, reporter's fees and ground transportation (in the amount set
forth by the Internal Revenue Service standard mileage rate). Any other expense (e.g., travel
expenses or travel time beyond Southern California) must be approved by the City in writing and
in advance. No compensation shall be allowed for general overhead or support services such as
typing, word processing, scanning hard-copy documents to .pdf format, secretarial time of any
nature (normal, overflow, or overtime), clerical work, Lexis or Westlaw, equipment rental,
calendaring, setting up files, updating files, computer time or service, nor any other expense not
itemized in the approved Case Budget or otherwise approved by the City. There shall be no
mark-ups on outside services.
4.3 The City must approve in advance any single disbursement item in
excess of $500.00, including, but not limited to, investigators, copying, and experts. Requests
for costs exceeding $500.00 shall contain a recommendation of alternative information services,
including use of City employees. Associate Counsel will use City Staff in lieu of outside experts
whenever feasible.
4.4 The City expects moderation with regard to all expenses.
4.5 Method of Billing.
Unless otherwise agreed, Associate Counsel shall provide monthly bills
unless fees and costs for a particular month are insignificant (i.e., $500 or less), in which case
such charges will be added to the following month’s bill. The following information must be
provided in monthly bills:
A. A detailed description of work, in time increments of .1 hour (one tenth of an
hour) for and by each and every individual billing services. Associate
Counsel shall keep the City advised regarding the identity and the billing
Page 54
5
rates of those people who work on the litigation account.
B. Identification of the lawyer who is in charge of the matter.
C. Detailed disbursement breakdowns, including the nature and purpose of each
disbursement.
D. Each billing item will be separately stated on a separate line identifying the
biller, the time spent, and the exact nature of the service rendered. Narrative
billing and block billing are unacceptable. For example, if numerous tasks are
undertaken in one day, each should be identified with a specified time for
performing that task, i.e. a telephone call, a court appearance, a meeting or
legal research. All tasks performed on the same day should be entered as
separate entries, identifying the time spent on each. Telephone conferences
should specify the participants and the subject matter discussed. The City will
not pay for vague descriptions for services which do not state the precise
nature of the work performed and the need for the work. Words such as
"research", "strategy", "analysis", "discovery", "conference", "preparation",
"case management", "memorandum", "correspondence", "telephone call" or
"meeting", without an explanation of (1) the specific topic or subject matter,
(2) the persons involved, and (3) the need therefor, do not allow for
accountability and are therefore non-reimbursable.
E. The City will not pay for inter-office conferences among attorneys/billers
unless a conference is a necessary strategy meeting relating to some
significant legal issue or event, such as an upcoming trial, and then only one
attorney may be billed. Where charges are made for conferences, the
specific reason and need for each conference must be stated in detail, and
the participants identified.
F. Where charges are made for research time, the specific issue being
researched and the need must be identified. City has retained Associate
Counsel for its expertise, and therefore expects not to be billed for
introductory or background research. The City will not pay for attorneys, law
clerks and paralegals educating themselves or doing work of a transient
nature on the case.
G. The City expects the attorney assigned to the case to handle all significant
matters in the case. If other attorneys are assigned to assist the primary
attorney, the City must be notified. The City may request that the assigned
work be instead handled by the primary attorney. Thus, only those attorneys
or persons approved in advance by the City may bill on the case. Upon City
request, resumes will be provided for all persons (other than clerical or
secretarial) working on the case.
H. No more than two non-attorney support staff may bill on a particular case
without the prior approval of the City.
I. One paralegal may be used. Assignment of work to such paralegal should not
result in duplicative work by the attorneys, or reworking of paralegal's work.
Paralegal shall not perform clerical work, such as filing, indexing, date-
Page 55
6
stamping, organizing, etc., but shall perform work such as research,
summarizing depositions, investigation, interviews of witnesses, etc.
J. Upon request, each item billed must be coded to a specific budget line item,
so a bill may be easily compared with the approved budget.
K. A tracking system must be set up to periodically, at least every six months, to
compare the amount of work completed to a percentage of the budget
absorbed.
L. The City reserves the right to request various levels of detail and specific
formats (such as columnar comparisons with established budgets).
M. The City will not pay for more than one biller doing any task (e.g. two or more
attorneys attending the same depositions or the same court appearances, a
biller redoing the work of another biller, or duplicative entries for reviewing
and analyzing documentation and legal research).
N. Charges for time spent complying with billing inquiries and/or City audits are
non-reimbursable.
O. Photocopies of deposition transcripts shall be made whenever possible to
reduce deposition expenses.
P. No finance charge or interest will be paid by the City, nor billed by Associate
Counsel.
4.6 Timing of Payment.
The City shall pay Associate Counsel for services rendered and costs
incurred hereunder, at the rates and in the amounts provided hereunder, on a monthly basis.
5.0 Engagement of Other Counsel, Specialists or Experts.
Associate Counsel shall not engage or otherwise incur an obligation to
pay other counsel, specialists or experts for services in connection with this Agreement without
the prior written approval of the City.
6.0 Termination of Agreement and Legal Services.
Subject to the applicable provisions of the Rules of Professional Conduct
of the State Bar of California, this Agreement and all legal services to be rendered hereunder
may be terminated at any time by written notice from either party with or without cause. In such
event, all finished or unfinished documents, project data and reports, both originals and all
duplicate copies, in all forms and media requested by the City, shall immediately be turned over
to the possession of City, which owns all such materials. In the event of such termination,
Associate Counsel shall be paid for all satisfactory work, unless such termination is made for
cause, in which event compensation, if any, shall be adjusted, in the City's sole discretion, in
light of the particular facts and circumstances involved in such termination.
Page 56
7
7.0 Interest of Members of Local Public Agency.
No member of the governing body of the City, and no other officer,
employee or agent of the City who exercises any discretion, function or responsibility in
connection with the carrying out of any project to which this Agreement pertains, shall have any
personal interest, direct or indirect, in this Agreement.
8.0 Interest of Counsel.
Associate Counsel agrees to secure the informed written consent of the
City before accepting any representation adverse to the City (actual or apparent) during the
term of this Agreement, and to forego such representation if the City, in its sole discretion,
objects for any reason.
9.0 General Procedures.
9.1 Copies of major documents, correspondence and periodic status
reports shall be submitted to keep the City advised of any major
developments in the matter. Once the Plan is approved, Associate
Counsel need not advise the City of each and every step being
taken. As long as Associate Counsel is complying with the Plan, it
should provide periodic reviews and information on significant
matters. The City does not, however, want boilerplate routine
letters announcing each and every procedural step being taken.
10.0 Policy for Investigation and Discovery Assistance.
A copy of the City Attorney's Policy for Investigation and Discovery
Assistance is attached hereto as Exhibit “C” which is attached hereto and fully incorporated
herein by reference.
11.0 Conflict of Interest.
Associate Counsel certifies that no member, officer or employee of the
Associate Counsel is an officer or employee of the City of Vernon except to the extent permitted
by law.
Associate Counsel agrees to secure the informed written consent of the
City before accepting any representation adverse to the City (actual or apparent) during the
term of this Agreement, and to forego such representation if the City, in its sole discretion,
objects for any reason.
12.0 Maintenance and Inspection of Records.
12.1 The City and any other Federal, State or local governmental
agency, and any of their authorized auditors or representatives,
shall have access to, and the right to audit and reproduce any of
Associate Counsel's records to the extent the City or such other
governmental agency deems necessary to ensure that City is
paying only the amounts to which Associate Counsel is properly
entitled or for other purposes relating to the Agreement.
Page 57
8
12.2 Associate Counsel shall maintain and preserve all such records
for at least three (3) years after termination of the Agreement or
until an audit has been completed and accepted in writing by City.
Upon written notice by the City, the Associate Counsel shall
promptly make all such records available to auditors or other
representatives of the City or other governmental agencies.
12.3 If Associate Counsel does not maintain such records in the City of
Vernon, Associate Counsel shall either deliver said records at its
expense to Vernon or shall promptly reimburse City for all
reasonable costs incurred in conducting the audit at a location
other than the City of Vernon, including, but not limited to,
expenses for personnel, salaries, private auditors, lodging, meals,
and overhead.
13.0 Indemnity.
Associate Counsel agrees to indemnify City, its officers, elected officials,
employees and agents against, and will hold and save each of them harmless from, any and all
actions, suits, claims, damages to persons or property, losses, costs, penalties, obligations,
errors, omissions or liabilities (herein “claims or liabilities”), including but not limited to
professional negligence, that may be asserted or claimed by any person, firm or entity arising
out of or in connection with the work, operations or activities of Associate Counsel, its agents,
employees, subcontractors, or invitees, provided for herein, or arising from the acts or
omissions of Associate Counsel hereunder, or arising from Associate Counsel’s performance of
or failure to perform any term, provision, covenant or condition of this Agreement, except to the
extent such claims or liabilities arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of City, its
officers, elected officials, agents or employees.
14.0 INSURANCE.
Associate Counsel shall, at its own expense, procure and maintain
policies of insurance of the types and in the amounts set forth below, for the duration of the
Agreement, including any extensions thereto.
14.1 Automobile Liability with minimum limits of at least
$100,000/300,000/500,000 if written on a personal automobile
liability form, for using a personal vehicle; or an amount of
$500,000 including owned, hired, and non-owned liability
coverage if written on a Commercial automobile liability form.
14.2 General Liability with minimum limits of at least $1,000,000
combined single limits written on an Insurance Services Office
(ISO) Comprehensive General Liability "occurrence" form or its
equivalent for coverage on an occurrence basis.
Premises/Operations and Personal Injury coverage is required.
The City of Vernon, its Council, commissioners, officers,
employees, agents, and volunteers registered with the City of
Vernon must be endorsed on the policy as additional insureds as
respects liability arising out of the Associate Counsel's
performance of this Agreement.
Page 58
9
14.3 Professional Errors and Omissions coverage in a sum of at least
$1,000,000. If a claims-made policy is obtained, a "tail" of at least
three years shall be purchased if non-renewed within three (3)
years of completion of performance under this Agreement.
Applicable aggregates must be identified and claims history
provided to determine amounts remaining under the aggregate.
14.4 Associate Counsel shall comply with the applicable sections of the
California Labor Code concerning workers' compensation for
injuries on the job. Compliance is accomplished in one of the
following manners:
14.4.1 Provide copy of permissive self-insurance certificate
approved by the State of California; or
14.4.2 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 Council,
commissioners, officers, employees, and volunteers for
losses arising from performance of this Agreement; or
14.4.3 Provide an insurance exemption form certifying that no
employees subject to workers' compensation law will be
used in performance of this Agreement.
14.4.4 Each insurance policy included in this clause shall be
endorsed to state that coverage shall not be canceled
except after thirty (30) days' prior written notice to City.
14.4.5 Insurance shall be placed with insurers with a Best's rating
of no less than B:VIII.
14.4.6 Prior to commencement of performance, Associate
Counsel 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 require complete, certified copies of any or all policies
at any time.
14.4.7 Failure to maintain required insurance at all times shall
constitute a default and material breach. In such event,
Associate Counsel 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 Associate Counsel by way of set-off or
recoupment from sums due Associate Counsel, at City's
Page 59
10
option; (b) immediately terminate this Agreement; 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 Associate Counsel,
by way of set-off or recoupment from any sums due
Associate Counsel.
15.0 Choice of Forum.
This Contract shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of California. Associate Counsel agrees that the State and Federal courts
which sit in the State of California shall have exclusive jurisdiction over all controversies and
disputes arising hereunder, and submits to the jurisdiction thereof.
16.0 Incorporation by Reference.
This contract incorporates by reference the Request for Proposal and
specifications therein, and all attachments, and the Proposal by Associate Counsel, and all
attachments.
17.0 Order of Precedence.
In case of conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms in

all employees spending time on City contracts, shall observe the City’s Living Wage Ordinance
and all requirements thereof at all times on City contracts. The Current Living Wage Standards
are set forth in Exhibit “D”. Upon request, certified payroll shall be provided to the City.
19.0 Equal Employment Opportunity Practices.
Associate Counsel certifies and represents that, during the performance
of this Agreement, 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 race, religion, color,
national origin, ancestry, disability, sex, age, medical condition, sexual orientation or marital
status. Associate Counsel further certifies that it will not maintain any segregated facilities. The
Equal Employment Opportunity Practices provisions are set forth in Exhibit “E”.
20.0 Ethical Guarantees.
20.1 Associate Counsel warrants that no gratuities (in the form of
entertainment, gifts, or otherwise) were offered or given by Associate Counsel, or any agent of
representative of Associate Counsel, to any officer or employee of City with a view toward
securing this Agreement or favorable treatment with respect to any determination concerning
the performance of this Agreement. In the event of breach of this warranty, City shall be entitled
Page 60
11
to pursue the same remedies including, but not limited to, termination, against Associate
Counsel as it could pursue in the event of Associate Counsel’s default.
20.2 Associate Counsel and its members shall comply with all
applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations, including the conflict of interest
provisions of Government Code Section 1090 and the Political Reform Act (Government Code
Section 81000 et seq.).
21.0 Right to Offset Claims for Money.
All claims of money due or to become due from City shall be subject to
deduction or offset by City from any monies due Associate Counsel by reason of any claim or
counterclaim arising out of: (i) this Agreement, or (ii) any purchase order, or (iii) any other
transaction with Associate Counsel.
22.0 Modification.
Any modification of this Agreement will be effective only if it is in writing
signed by all parties to this Agreement, and, where applicable, if it is approved by City Council.
23.0 Severability/Partial Invalidity.
If any term or provision of this Agreement, or the application of any term
or provision of this Agreement to a particular situation, shall be finally found to be void, invalid,
illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then notwithstanding such
determination, such term or provision shall remain in force and effect to the extent allowed by
such ruling and all other terms and provisions of this Agreement or the application of this
Agreement to other situations shall remain in full force and effect. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if any material term or provision of this Agreement or the application of such material
term or condition to a particular situation is finally found to be void, invalid, illegal, or
unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then the parties hereto agree to work in good
faith and fully cooperate with each other to amend this Agreement to carry out its intent.
24.0 Time of the Essence.
Time is of the essence in the performance of this Agreement.
25.0 No assignment by a party hereto of any rights under or interest in this
Agreement will be binding on another party hereto without the written consent of the party
sought to be bound; and specifically but without limitations, moneys that may become due and
moneys that are due may not be assigned without such consent (except to the extent that the
effect of this restriction may be limited by law), and unless specifically state to the contrary in
written consent to an assignment no assignment will release or discharge the assignor from any
duty or responsibility under the Agreement.

POLICY FOR INVESTIGATION AND DISCOVERY ASSISTANCE
The following sets forth the policy of this office regarding investigation and other assistance in
the defense of liability cases involving the City of Vernon or City employees. The objective is to
provide current and long-range investigative assistance and guidance on all liability cases.
1. Copies of the summons, complaint and claims investigation reports, if available, will be
forwarded to Associate Counsel upon assignment of the lawsuit to defense counsel.
2. Associate Counsel, in evaluating the lawsuit, is to advise the City Attorney as to further
investigative needs. The services of an investigating agency, approved by the City
Attorney, may be requested to assist Associate Counsel in their investigation. The agency
is to furnish this office with copies of all its reports.
3. After receiving Associate Counsel's request, the investigating agency commences the
specified investigation and outlines its recommendations for additional investigation, but
does not commence such additional investigation until specifically requested by Associate
Counsel to do so.
4. In addition to investigation, the investigating agency assists with such discovery, needed
diagrams, photographs and other information as may be requested by Associate Counsel.
5. Associate Counsel is requested to review the claims investigation file sent with the

City Council Agenda Item Report
Agenda Item No. COV-226-2019
Submitted by: Eva Muro
Submitting Department: City Attorney
Meeting Date: May 21, 2019
SUBJECT
Approval of an Attorney Services Agreement (Transactional) between the City of Vernon and Best Best & Krieger
LLP to Provide Specialized Outside Legal Services
Recommendation:
A. Find that approval of the proposed Attorney Services Agreement (Transactional) with Best Best & Krieger LLP is
exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) review, because it is a continuing administrative and fiscal
activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment, and therefore does not constitute a
“project” as defined by CEQA Guidelines section 15378; and
B. Approve an Attorney Services Agreement (Transactional) between the City of Vernon and Best Best & Krieger
LLP, in substantially the same form as submitted herewith, for an amount not to exceed $75,000.00; and
C. Authorize the City Administrator to execute the Attorney Services Agreement (Transactional) between the City of
Vernon and Best Best & Krieger LLP for a three year term with an effective date of May 20, 2019.
Background:
The City Attorney’s Office functions as the legal advisor and legal counsel of record for the City Council, City boards
and commissions, City staff, and represents the City in litigation, whether directly or with special counsel. The City
Attorney’s Office is currently staffed with three attorneys, and has greatly reduced the City’s reliance on outside
counsel, bringing the vast majority of the City’s legal services in-house and significantly reducing expenditures on outside
attorneys. There are still occasions when special counsel is needed, such as legal matters requiring specialized expertise
or litigation requiring additional staffing and support.
Accordingly, the City Attorney’s Office engages special counsel to assist from time to time and as-needed for specific
matters (i.e., not via a monthly retainer). The advice or representation provided by special counsel is for an “on call”
basis, and could be in the form of a request for expert analysis on a specific problem, or to represent the City in a
lawsuit.
Pursuant to the City’s good governance reform contract terms and procedures, all professional services contracts must
be subject to a new competitive selection process every three years, unless commercially unreasonable to do so. The
prior competitive selection process for legal services was done in 2016, and therefore needed to be rebid.
Selection Process: On or about February 13, 2019, the City Attorney’s office issued a Request for Proposals for
Specialized Outside Legal Services. The Request was posted on the City’s website and advertised in the Daily Journal
(a print and online legal trade publication). Responses to the Request for Proposals were due on or before March 18,
2019.
Page 68
In total, the City Attorney’s office received proposals from 16 firms throughout the state, many of whom were
well-qualified in the subject practice areas. The proposals were subject to a review process by the City Attorney’s
office and two other City department heads (hereinafter the “selection panel”), and individual scores were applied using
the weighted evaluation criteria set forth in the Request for Proposals. Individual scores were assigned by members of
the selection panel, and the top rated firms in various practice areas were identified for further consideration.
After the selection panel’s scores were averaged, the following were ranked as the top three full-service firms:
1. Rutan & Tucker LLP
2. Burke Williams & Sorensen LLP
3. Best Best & Krieger LLP
Best Best & Krieger LLP (BB&K) was selected after this comprehensive competitive selection process in accordance
with City procedures and good governance contracting principles.
After several years of using BB&K’s services on key municipal advisory and personnel investigatory matters under the
current agreement, the City Attorney’s Office remains highly satisfied with the firm’s representation. In addition to their
legal expertise, the BBK attorneys assigned to assist on City matters have also gained valuable institutional knowledge
of City issues and precedent.
Accordingly, staff is requesting authority to enter into an Attorney Services Agreement with BB&K for a three-year
term, with total consideration not to exceed $75,000.
BB&K’s proposed hourly billing rates for advisory/transactional services are $325 (partners) and $260 (associates). In
accordance with the City’s good governance contract terms and procedures, these rates are similar to or more
favorable than the rates charged to other governmental entities.
Fiscal Impact:
The maximum fiscal impact to the City under the proposed contract term is $75,000.00. This amount has been included
in the budget for the City Attorney’s Office for fiscal years 2018-2019 and 2019-2020.

only, and nol trom any other Department Head or City staff.
2.O Time ol Performance and Term.
The services ol Associate Counsel are to commence upon the signing

Page 71
shall automatically terminate three (3) years from the Etfective Date, subiect and pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement.
3.0 Budoetino.
Associate Counsel handling specilic City matters will be expected to
institute and to adhere to budgeting and planning procedures in the sole discretion ol the City
Attorney. The general lramework of the litigation budgeting and planning procedures is as
follows:
3.1 Budqet:
3.1.1 Associate Counsel shall, it requested by the City Attorney, provide
a Plan and a Budget, or revisions thereol, which will include a

3.1.5 The Budget is not a fixed fee agreement and is subject to revision.

at least every hvelve months, or as more lrequently requested.
Ihe plan will start as an initial evaluation (before substantial costs

or
3.2.3 The City Attorney is to be consulted regarding staffing of litigation
and is to be advised of any signiticant shift in staffing.
3.2.4 The City Attorney is to be provided with copies of any billing
manuals or directions for billing practices in use by Associate
Counsel within thirty (30) days of signing this Agreement.
4.0 Comoensation, Reimbursement and Methods of Pavments.
4.1 Compensation.
Associate Counsel has established rates lor the City of Vernon which are
comparable to and do not exceed the best rates ofrered to other governmental entities in and
around Los Angeles County tor the same services. Fees for all services provided hereunder by
all billers shall be charged in accordance with Exhibit'B", which is attached hereto and lully
incorporated herein by reference. Associate Counsel's grand total, not-to-exceed compensation
lor the three (3) years of this Contract shall not exceed the amount ot $75.000.00, without prior
approval of the City and written amendment of this Contract.
4.2 Beimbursement.
ln addition to the compensation provided above, the City will reimburse
Associate Counsel only for the following expenses: printing, copying costs (not to exceed 10
cents a page), transcription fees, reporter's fees and ground transportation (in the amount set
forth by the lnternal Bevenue Service standard mileage rate). Any other expense (e.9., travel
expenses or travel time beyond Southern California) must be approved by the City Attorney in
writing and in advance. No compensation shall be allowed for general overhead or support
services such as typing, word processing, scanning hard-copy documents to .pdf tormat,
secretarial time ol any nature (normal, overllow, or overtime), clerical work, Lexis or Westlaw,
equipment rental, calendaring, setting up files, updating tiles, computer time or service, nor any
other expense not itemized in the approved Case Budget or otherwise approved by the City
Attorney. There shall be no mark-ups on outside services.
4.3 The City Attorney must approve in advance any single disbursement item
in excess of $500.00, including, but not limited to, investigators, copying, and experts.
Requests lor costs exceeding $500.00 shall contain a recommendation of alternative
information services, including use ol City employees. Associate Counsel will use City Statf in
lieu ol outside experts whenever leasible.
4.4 The City expects moderation with regard to all expenses.
4.5 Method ol Billino.
Unless othenivise agreed, Associate Counsel shall provide monthly bills
unless fees and costs for a particular month are insigniticant (1e., $500 or less), in which case
such charges will be added to the following month's bill. The following inlormation must be

Page 73
A.A detailed description of work, in time increments of .1 hour (one tenth of an
hour) lor and by each and every individual billing services. Associate
Counsel shall keep the City advised regarding the identity and the billing
rates of those people who work on the litigation account.
ldentilication of the lawyer who is in charge of the matter.
Detailed disbursement breakdowns, including the nature and purpose ol each
disbursement.
Each billing item will be separately stated on a separate line identilying the
biller, the time spent, and the exact nature ol the service rendered. Narrative
billing and block billing are unacceptable. For example, if numerous tasks are
undertaken in one day, each should be identified with a specified time for
performing that task, i.e. a telephone call, a court appearance, a meeting or
legal research. All tasks performed on the same day should be entered as
separate entries, identifying the time spent on each. Telephone conferences
should specily the participants and the subject matter discussed. The City will
not pay for vague descriptions for services which do not state the precise
nature ol the work pedormed and the need tor the work. Words such as
"research", 'strategy", "analysis', "discovery", "conference", "preparation",
"case management", "memorandum",'correspondence", "telephone call" or
"meeting", without an explanation ol (1) the specific topic or subject matter,
(2) the persons involved, and (3) the need therefor, do not allow for
accountability and are therefore non-reimbursable.
The City will not pay for inter-office conlerences among attorneys/billers
unless a conference is a necessary strategy meeting relating to some
significant legal issue or event, such as an upcoming trial, and then only one
anorney may be billed. Where charges are made for conferences, the
specilic reason and need for each conlerence must be stated in detail, and
the participants identitied.
Where charges are made for research time, the specific issue being
researched and the need must be identilied. City has retained Associate
Counsel lor its expertise, and therefore expects not to be billed lor
introductory or background research. The City will not pay for attorneys, law
clerks and paralegals educating themselves or doing work of a transient
nature on the case.
The City expects the anorney assigned to the case to handle all significant
matters in the case. ll other attorneys are assigned to assist the primary
attorney, the City must be notified. The City may request that the assigned
work be instead handled by the primary attorney. Thus, only those attorneys
or persons approved in advance by the City may bill on the case. Upon City
request, resumes will be provided for all persons (other than clerical or
secretarial) working on the case.
No more than two non-attorney support staff may bill on a particular case
without the prior approval of the City.

l. One paralegal may be used. Assignment of work to such paralegal should not
result in duplicative work by the attorneys, or reworking of paralegal's work.
Paralegal shall not perlorm clerical work, such as filing, indexing, date-
stamping, organizing, etc., but shall perform work such as research,
summarizing depositions, investigation, interviews of witnesses, etc.
J. Upon request, each item billed must be coded to a specific budget line item,
so a bill may be easily compared with the approved budget.
K. A tracking system must be set up to periodically, at least every six months, to
compare the amount of work completed to a percentage of the budget
absorbed.
L. The City Attorney reserves the right to request various levels of detail and
specilic lormats (such as columnar comparisons with established budgets).
M. The City will not pay tor more than one biller doing any task (e.9. two or more
anorneys attending the same depositions or the same court appearances, a
biller redoing the work of another biller, or duplicative entries for reviewing
and analyzing documentation and legal research).
N. Charges for time spent complying with billing inquiries and/or City audits are
non-reimbursable.
O. Photocopies of deposition transcripts shall be made whenever possible to
reduce deposition expenses.
P. No finance charge or inlerest will be paid by the City, nor billed by Associate
Counsel.
4.6 Timino of Pavment.
The City shall pay Associate Counsel for services rendered and costs
incurred hereunder, at the rates and in the amounts provided hereunder, on a monthly basis.
5.0 Enoaoement of Other Counsel. Specialists or Experts.
Associate Counsel shall not engage or otherwise incur an obligation to
pay other counsel, specialists or experts lor services in connection with this Agreement without
the prior written approval of the City Attorney.
6.0 Termination ol Aoreement and Leoal Services.
Subject to the applicable provisions of the Rules of Prolessional Conduct
of the State Bar of Calitornia, this Agreement and all legal services to be rendered hereunder
may be terminated at any time by written notice from either party with or without cause. ln such
event, all finished or untinished documents, proiect data and reports, both originals and all
duplicate copies, in all forms and media requested by the City, shall immediately be turned over
to the possession of City, which owns all such materials. ln the event ot such termination,
Associate Counsel shall be paid for all satislactory work, unless such termination is made lor
Page 75
cause, in which event compensation, if any, shall be adiusted, in the City's sole discretion, in
light of the particular facts and circumstances involved in such lerminalion.

reports shall be submitted to keep the City Attorney advised of any
maior developments in the matter. Once the Plan is approved,
Associate Counsel need not advise the City ol each and every
step being taken. As long as Associate Counsel is complying with
the Plan, it should provide periodic reviews and information on
signif icant matters. The City does not, however, want boilerplate
routine lefters announcing each and every procedural step being
taken.
10.0 Policv lor lnvestioation and Discoverv Assistance.
A copy of the City Anorney's Policy for lnvestigation and Discovery
Assistance is attached hereto as Exhibit "C" which is attached hereto and tully incorporated

2. BACKGROUND
The City ol Vernon was founded in 1905, is approximalely 5.2 square miles in size and is
located approximately 5 miles southeasl ol downtown Los Angeles Calilornia. Over its
long history, Vernon has been developed as an industrial community. At the turn of lhe
20h century the lands that make up Vemon were comprised largely ot rarmlands. The
presence ol three major rail lines in the area led influential business and property owners
to encourage the railroad companies lo run spur lines onto the farmlands. These rail
enensions enabled the creation of an "exclusively industrial" city. By the 1920's, Vernon
was anracting large stockyards and meatpacking tacililies. ln the 1930's, Vernon became
the location of choice for many heavy industrial plants. As economic conditions changed
over the decades, these large scale industrial operalions have relocated out ol Southern
California and Vernon has anracted smaller, lighter industrial facilities. The City's business
triendly environmenl, low cost utilities and key location for trucking and rail transport
conlinue to position Vernon as an ideal location for industrial uses.
Vemon has a uniquely small residential population, with approximately 275 residents.
Despite the low residential housing numbers, Vemon is home to more than 1,800 business
that employ approximately 50,000 people, serving as a vital economic engine in the region.
Vernon maintains strong philanthropic ties with lhe neighboring communilies where much
ot its worHorce lives, providing significant tinancial supporl lor public services and
education.

tive-year staggered lerms. The City Council annually appoints a Mayor and a Mayor Pro
Tem lrom 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 Heallh and Environmental Control Department.
Recognized bargaining unils include the Vernon Police Ofticers Benetit Association,

specific reason and need lor each conlerence must be stated in detail, and

secretarial) working on the case.
No more than two non-anorney support statf may bill on a particular case

stamping, organizing, etc., but shall perlorm work such as research,
summarizing depositions, investigation, interviews of witnesses, elc.

item. so a bill may be easily compared wilh the approved Case Budget.
A tracking system must be set up to periodically. at least every six months,

absorbed.

meeting of April 16, 2019, wherein the City Council also held its City Council reorganization. Having elected the

as voting members on some of these boards and/or committees, with some (not all) of the positions entitling the
appointee to additional compensation.

Attached is an overview of each entity’s function and other pertinent information.
Pursuant to FPPC Regulation 18705.5 each agency must post on its website a single Form 806 which lists all the paid
appointed positions to which an official will vote to appoint themselves. The Form 806 will be completed and posted in
accordance with FPPC regulations upon City Council action.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no fiscal impact for the appointment to various agencies and committees as this is an administrative item.

City Council Agenda Item Report
Agenda Item No. COV-178-2019
Submitted by: Jessica Balandran
Submitting Department: Public Utilities
Meeting Date: May 21, 2019
SUBJECT
Approval of Amendment No. 3 to the Electric System Service and Maintenance Agreement between the City of
Vernon and Petrelli Electric, Inc.
Recommendation:
A. Find that approval of the proposed amendment is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”)
review, because it is a continuing administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the
environment, and therefore does not constitute a “project” as defined by CEQA Guidelines section 15378; and
B. Approve Amendment No. 3 to the Electric System Service and Maintenance Agreement (“Agreement”) for Electric
System Maintenance with Petrelli Electric, Inc., in substantially the same form as submitted herewith, to update union
wages/staffing requirements, service scope, and expenditure cap components of the existing Agreement; and
C. Authorize the City Administrator to execute the proposed Amendment No. 3 between the City of Vernon and
Petrelli Electric, Inc., with an effective date of May 21, 2019.
Background:
On May 1, 2012, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2012-60 authorizing the issuance of a Request for
Proposals (“RFP”) for electric system maintenance for the City. Upon completion of the RFP process, Vernon Public
Utilities (“VPU”) staff recommended the City award a services agreement to Petrelli Electric, Inc., (“Petrelli”)
(“Contractor”). On July 17, 2012, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2012-139 approving and authorizing the
execution of an Electric System Service and Maintenance Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Petrelli for a term of five
years effective July 17, 2012 with the option of extending the Agreement for an additional five years by mutual
agreement of the City and Contractor and upon approval by the City Council. Subsequently, on February 21, 2017,
Amendment No. 1, was approved by the City Council extending the Agreement by an additional five years with a new
termination date of July 17, 2022. Amendment No. 2, approved on September 5, 2017, revised rates for Petrelli’s
union personnel.
Staff is now recommending Amendment No. 3 for City Council approval to address the following contract components:
1. Union Wages/Staffing Requirements
2. Scope of Services
3. Aggregate Expenditure Cap
Union Wages/Staffing Requirements
Pursuant to Section 5.1 of the Agreement, the City is to reimburse Petrelli for Contractor personnel time at specified
rates set forth in Exhibit D to the Agreement with the provision that said rates may only increase when the Contractor’s
Page 227
costs increase due to an increase in union labor wages. Accordingly, on August 6, 2013 (via minute order) and then on
September 5, 2017 (via Amendment No. 2), the City Council approved a revised Exhibit D to the Agreement,
increasing rates due to a re-negotiation of the union contract with IBEW Local 47. As required by the Agreement,
Petrelli recently notified VPU of an increase in labor wages and requested an increase of 4.6% to the labor rates
reflected in Exhibit D effective June 1, 2019 (IBEW Local 47 labor wages increased 2.3% on June 1, 2018 and will
increase another 2.3% on June 1, 2019). Staff recommends approval of the requested increase, as there has not been
an increase since 2017 and it is agreed that the proposed increased rates more accurately reflect current labor costs.
In addition to the aforementioned update to Exhibit D, in their correspondence to the City dated April 29, 2019, Petrelli
also requested revisions to Exhibits B, B-1, and C of the Agreement. Exhibits B and B-1 articulate the minimum staffing
requirements for the Agreement. Although the City has periodically pre-approved Petrelli’s staffing increases (as per
Section 3.3.2 of the Agreement), Exhibit B and the corresponding organizational chart provided in Exhibit B-1 have not
been updated since 2012. The proposed updates to the minimum staffing requirements are based on a significant
increase in the workload assigned to Petrelli. Staff recommends updating Exhibits B and B-1 in order to formalize the
staffing changes that have been pre-approved and deemed necessary in order for Petrelli to adequately provide the
agreed upon services to the City.
Moreover, Petrelli has requested to include additional vehicles on Exhibit C to the Agreement which itemizes the
equipment leased and utilized by Petrelli when performing work for the City. Staff recommends updating Exhibit C, as
the requested increase coincides with the request for additional staffing. There are no proposed changes to the monthly
rates.
Scope of Services
Staff recommends that Section 3.2 of the Agreement be updated to reflect an expansion of Services to include
construction and maintenance of the City’s fiber optic cables and network (when required). The anticipated cost for
work related to fiber optic construction and maintenance is estimated at $165,000 per fiscal year. Business customers
pay for the majority of work performed on their property and residential work performed is covered by the VPU
budget. Having Petrelli perform the fiber optics work, on an as-needed basis, is a more cost effective approach than
having a dedicated fiber optic crew on City staff.
Aggregate Expenditure Cap
Staff recommends that Section 5.3 of the Agreement be amended to provide more flexibility each fiscal year, allowing
staff to align proposed expenditures with planned work/projects. A fixed yearly amount imbedded in the contract,
irrespective of planned work/projects, does not permit staff to effectively craft a project plan. Staff is proposing an
approach which allows the City to pay for Petrelli’s services on an as-needed basis up to the maximum amount
budgeted annually, thus providing an opportunity for the City Council to establish an expenditure cap each fiscal year
through the City’s annual budget process that is reflective of actual planned work/projects where Petrelli’s services may
be utilized.
As originally evaluated in 2012, Petrelli provides a great value to the City, allowing for cost savings in electric systems
service through the provision of highly qualified, properly trained, union workers who offer excellent, reliable customer
service with high-functioning equipment. Approving Amendment No. 3 with Petrelli will ensure that the City is able to
continue to benefit from these high quality services without the burden of the additional overhead costs that hiring City
staff to perform this specialized work would entail.

The proposed Amendment No. 3 has been reviewed and approved as to form by the City Attorney’s office.
Fiscal Impact:
All Petrelli costs for labor, equipment, and materials are invoiced to the City based on the actual work completed. All
work assigned to Petrelli is pre-approved and monitored by a VPU manager. Aside from emergency work, work on
the distribution and fiber optic systems is estimated and forecasted in the Public Utilities budget to be approved annually
by the City Council.
In fiscal year 2019-2020, it is estimated that VPU’s budget for overall distribution and fiber optic systems will be
$21,983,604. This includes all expenditures in Field Operations (055.8000), Electrical Transmission & Distribution
(055.8300), Building Maintenance (055.8400), Engineering (055.9100), and Fiber Optics (057.1057). Although
actual expenditures will be determined by actual work performed, this budgeted amount will establish the not-to-exceed
annual expenditure cap for FY 2019-2020.
As is customary during the budget preparation process, any proposed budget amounts will be vetted by the Finance
Director and City Administrator prior to City Council approval. If the proposed amendment is approved, VPU will
budget accordingly for the upcoming fiscal year and in subsequent years.

City’s request to expand such services, dated March 25, 2019, is attached hereto as Exhibit B;
and
WHEREAS, the City and Contractor desire to amend the Agreement to remove the
annual aggregate expenditure cap in Section 5.3 of the Agreement and replace such cap with a
more flexible approach that permits the City to pay for Contractor’s services on an as-needed
basis up to the maximum amount budgeted annually in the Vernon Public Utilities’ electric
distribution and fiber optic systems budgets.

Contractor’s scope of Services as provided in the attached Exhibit B.
3. Effective May 21, 2019, Section 5.3 of the Agreement is hereby deleted in its
entirety and replaced with the following:
5.3 Annual Aggregate Expenditure Cap. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary set forth herein, in any year of the Term, Vernon shall not
authorize, and Contractor shall not incur, costs and expenses exceeding the
aggregate amount of the annual Vernon Public Utilities’ overall electric
distribution and fiber optic systems budgets approved by Vernon’s City Council.
4. Except as expressly modified by this Amendment No. 3, all provisions of the
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
