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 fi* 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. ATTACHMENTS • 1.

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 150 "Notice of Completion" of the Work to the Contractor. Upon the issuance of the Notice of Completion 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. [END OF ARTICLE] 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 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. 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 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 yearwill 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. [END OF ARTICLE] 154 5.01 5.02 ARTICLE 5 - SUSPENSION OR TERMINATION OF CONTRACT TERMINATION BY THE CONTRACTOR A. Contractor shall have the right to terminate its performance of the Contract only upon the occurrence of one of the following: 1. The Work is stopped for a period of ninety (90) consecutive days through no act or fault of the Contractor, any Subcontractor, Sub -subcontractor, their agents or employees, or any other persons or entities performing portions of the Work under direct or indirect contract with the Contractor, due to: a. the issuance of an order of a court or other public authority having jurisdiction; or b. an act of government, such as a declaration of national emergency making material unavailable; and Contractor has given City written notice within ten (10) days of the occurrence of such ground for termination, then the Contractor may, upon thirty (30) additional calendar days written notice to City, unless the reason has theretofore been cured, terminate its performance of the Work. The Work is stopped for a period of 120 consecutive days through no act or fault of Contractor, any Subcontractor, Sub -subcontractor, their agents or employees, or any other persons or entities performing portions of the Work under direct or indirect contract with the Contractor, because the City has persistently failed to perform any material obligation under the Contract Documents and fails to cure such default within ninety (90) days after the receipt of notice from Contractor stating the nature of such default. B. If Contractor terminates its performance of the Contract in accordance with this Paragraph 5.01, the City shall pay Contractor for the Work executed through the date of termination as set forth in Paragraph 5.04-C below. TERMINATION BY THE CITY FOR CAUSE A. Grounds The City shall have the right to terminate the Contractor's performance of the Contract, in whole or in part, without liability to City if: 1. Contractor fails promptly to begin the Work under the Contract Documents; or 2. Contractor refuses or fails to supply enough properly skilled workers or proper materials; or 3. Contractor fails to perform the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents, including conforming to applicable standards set forth therein in constructing the Project, or refuses to remove and replace rejected materials or unacceptable Work; or Contractor discontinues the prosecution of the Work (exclusive of work stoppage: (a) due to termination by City; or (b) due to and during the continuance of a Force Majeure event or suspension by City); or 155 5. Contractor fails to resume performance of Work which has been suspended or stopped, within a reasonable time after receipt of notice from City to do so or (if applicable) after cessation of the event preventing performance; or 6. Any representation or warranty made by Contractor in the Contract Documents or any certificate, schedule, instrument, or other document delivered by Contractor pursuant to the Contract Documents shall have been false or materially misleading when made; or 7. Contractor fails to make payment to Subcontractors or Material Suppliers for materials or labor in accordance with the respective Contract Documents and applicable law; or 8. Contractor disregards laws, ordinances, or rules, regulations, or orders of a public authority having jurisdiction; or 9. Contractor is guilty of breach of a provision of the Contract Documents; or 10. Contractor becomes insolvent, is adjudicated bankrupt, or makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors and fails to provide City with adequate assurances of Contractor's ability to satisfy its contractual obligations. A receiver, trustee, or otherjudicial officer shall not have any right, title, or interest in or to the Contract. Upon that person's appointment, City has, at its option and sole discretion, the right to immediately cancel the Contract and declare it null and void. B. City's Rights. When any of the reasons specified in Paragraph 5.02-A exist, the City may, in addition to and without prejudice to any other rights or remedies of the City, and after giving the Contractor five (5) calendar days written notice, terminate Contractor's performance of the Work, in whole or in part, and may: 1. Take possession of the site and all materials, equipment, tools, construction equipment, and machinery thereon owned by the Contractor; 2. Withhold from Contractor amounts unpaid hereunder and to offset such amounts against damages or losses incurred by City; 3. Accept assignment of subcontracts from Contractor, at the sole discretion of City, and 4. Finish the Work by whatever reasonable method the City may deem expedient. Upon request of the Contractor, the City shall furnish to the Contractor a detailed accounting of the costs incurred by the City in finishing the Work. C. Costs If City's costs to complete and damages incurred due to Contractor's default exceed the unpaid Contract balance, the Contractor shall pay the difference to the City. D. Wrongful Termination If it has been adjudicated or otherwise determined that City has wrongfully terminated the Contractor for cause, then said termination shall be deemed converted to a termination for convenience as set 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 shall it provide Contractor with any basis for seeking payment from City for Work deleted or suspended except to the extent such Work has already been performed and is otherwise compensable under the 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. D. In the event of any partial or complete deletion or suspension of Work, the City shall furnish Contractor with prompt written notice thereof, and the City shall be entitled to take possession of and have as its property all Record Documents, Accounting Records, and other data prepared by Contractor or its Subcontractors. E. Suspension for Convenience. 1. The City may at any time and from time to time, without cause, order the Contractor, in writing, to suspend, delay, or interrupt the Work in whole or in part for such period of time as the City may determine. Such order shall be specifically identified as a "Work Suspension Directive" under this Section. 2. Upon receipt of a Work Suspension Directive, Contractor shall, at the City's expense, comply with its terms and take all reasonable steps to minimize costs allocable to the Work covered by the Work Suspension Directive during the period of Work stoppage. 3. Within the period of suspension, or such extension to that period as is agreed upon by Contractor and the City, the City shall either cancel the Work Suspension Directive or delete the Work covered by such Work Suspension Directive by issuing a Change Order or Construction Change Directive. 4. If a Work Suspension Directive is cancelled or expires, Contractor shall continue the Work. A Change Order or Construction Change Directive will be issued to cover any adjustments of the Contract Sum and Contract Time necessarily caused by such suspension. No adjustment shall be made to the extent: (a) That performance is, was, or would have been so suspended, delayed, or interrupted by another cause for which the Contractor is responsible; or (b) That an equitable adjustment is made or denied under another provision of the Contract. Suspensions for Cause City has the authority by written order to suspend the Work, in whole or in part, without liability to City for Contractor's failure to: 1. Correct conditions unsafe for the Project personnel or general public, or 157 2. Carry out the Contract; or 3. Carry out orders of City. G. Responsibilities of Contractor During Suspension Periods During periods that Work is suspended, Contractor shall continue to be responsible for the Work and shall prevent damage or injury to the Project, provide for drainage, and shall erect necessary temporary structures, signs or other facilities required to maintain the Project and continue to perform according to the Contract Documents. 5.04 TERMINATION BY THE CITY FOR CONVENIENCE A. Grounds Without limiting any rights which City may have by reason of any default by Contractor hereunder, City may terminate Contractor's performance of the Contract, in whole or in part, at any time, for convenience upon fifteen (15) calendar days written notice to Contractor. B. Contractor Actions Upon receipt of such notice, Contractor shall perform the duties required by Paragraph 5.05 below. At the election of and as directed by the City, any or all of the subcontracts and purchase orders entered in to by Contractor prior to the effective date of termination shall be terminated or shall be assigned to City. C. Compensation 1. If the Parties are unable to agree on the amount of a termination settlement, the City shall pay the Contractor the following amounts: a. For Work performed before the effective date of termination, the total (without duplication of any items) of: The cost of the Work; and ii. A sum, as overhead and profit on the cost of the Work, determined by the City to be fair and reasonable. In no event shall Contractor be entitled to recover overhead or profit on Work not performed. b. The reasonable costs of settlement of the Work terminated, including: Accounting, clerical, and other expenses reasonably necessary for the preparation of termination settlement proposals and supporting data, if any; and ii. Storage, transportation, and other costs reasonably necessary for the preservation, protection, or disposition of inventory. 2. Such payment shall be Contractor's exclusive remedy for termination for convenience and will be due and payable on the same conditions as set forth for final payment to the extent applicable. Upon receipt of such payment, the Contractor and City shall have no further obligations to each other except for Contractor's obligations with respect to warranties, representations, indemnity, 158 maintenance of insurance, and other obligations that survive termination or Final Completion as provided for herein. 3. It is understood and agreed that no fee, anticipated profit, compensation for lost opportunity costs, or other compensation or payment of any kind or character shall be due or payable for unperformed Work regardless of the basis of termination and the inclusion of this provision within this subparagraph shall in no way limit its application to termination under this Paragraph. 4. Contractor agrees that each of its subcontracts will reserve for the Contractor the same right of termination for convenience provided by this Paragraph 5.04. D. No Consequential Damages Under no circumstances shall Contractor be entitled to anticipatory or unearned profits or consequential or other damages as a result of a termination or partial termination under this Article 5. The payment to Contractor determined in accordance with this Article constitutes Contractor's exclusive remedy for a termination hereunder. 5.05 CONTRACTOR'S DUTIES UPON TERMINATION FOR CAUSE OR CONVENIENCE If the City terminates Contractor's performance of Work under the Contract, for cause or convenience or if Contractor terminates a Subcontractor with the City's approval, Contractor shall: (1) cease performance of the Work to the extent specified in the notice; (2) take actions necessary or that the City may direct, for the protection and preservation of the Work; (3) settle outstanding liabilities, as directed by City; (4) transfer title and deliver to City Work in progress, specialized equipment necessary to perform the Work; (5) submit all Record Documents, Accounting Records and other data prepared pursuant to the Contract by Contractor and/or its Subcontractors, as applicable, to the City with fifteen (15) calendar days after the City's notice of termination in an organized, usable form, in both hard copy and electronic/digital form, with all items properly labeled to the degree of detail specified by the City; and, (6) except for Work directed by City to be performed prior to the effective date of termination stated in the notice, incur no further costs or expenses and enter into no further subcontracts and purchase orders. No compensation shall be due Contractor, if any, until Contractor complies with the requirements of this Paragraph. [END OF ARTICLE] 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. 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. 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 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: 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. 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. 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. 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: 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. 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. 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.

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. [END OF ARTICLE] 166 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. C. Certification Each Application for Payment shall be signed and certified by Contractor under penalty of perjury to 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 168 will be utilized in the Work and that the material is satisfactorily stored, protected and insured, and 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 Work that is the subject of such Application for Payment was performed.

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 7.04-13, 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.

Retention B. In 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 as described herein. A higher Retention amount may be approved by the City Council where project is deemed "substantially complex" by City Council. Conditions to Final Payment Contractor shall submit its Application for Final Payment, using such forms as required by Director, prior to requesting a final inspection of the Work in accordance with Paragraph 3.06 above. Such Application for Final Payment shall be accompanied by all the following: 1. an affidavit that payrolls, bills for materials and equipment, and other indebtedness connected with the Project for which City or City's property or funds might be liable have been paid or otherwise satisfied; 2.

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 Submission of an Application for Payment shall constitute a representation and warranty by Contractor that: 1.

City retains the right to subsequently correct any error made in any previously approved Application for Payment, or progress payment issued, by adjustments to subsequent payments. 7.07 PAYMENTS BY CONTRACTOR Contractor shall not include in its Applications for Payment sums on account of any Subcontractor's portion of the Work that it does not intend to pay to such Subcontractor.

Contractor shall remain responsible notwithstanding a withholding by City pursuant to the terms of these Contract Documents, to promptly satisfy from its own funds sums due to all Subcontractors who have performed Work that is included in Contractor's Application for Payment.

Such payments may be made without a priorjudicial 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.

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.

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 7.10 CLAIMS A. Arising of Claim. 1. Scope Change. When Contractor has a claim for an increase in the Contract Sum or Contract Time due to a scope change which has not yet become final, a "claim" will be deemed to arise once the Director has issued a decision denying, in whole or in part, the Contractor's Change Order Request.

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.

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.

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.

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 AM 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. 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.

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.

INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS The Bidder shall submit to its insurance company or insurance agent the Insurance Requirements in this Specification and the Contract Documents.

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.

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. StafffAy expects to secure sufficient resources to meet the renewable targets for the remaining compliance periods by 2030. Fiscal Impact: This report is for informational purposes only. There is no fiscal impact. ATTACHMENTS • 1.

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 11Page 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.

Summary of Procurement Plan to meet Future RPS Requirements 1,081,457 29% 313,622 68,697 63,346 54,421 76,891 193,943 120,000 577,298 53% 330 21Page 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 Le6n, 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.

Dated: , 2019 CITY OF VERNON YVETTE WOODRUFF-PEREZ, Mayor ATTEST: MARIA E. AYALA, City Clerk APPROVED AS TO FORM: HEMA PATEL, City Attorney 358 City Council Agenda Item Report Agenda Item No. COV-76-2019 Submitted by: Robert Sousa Submitting Department: Police Department Meeting Date: February 19, 2019 SUBJECT Ordinances Granting U.S. Tow, Inc. and Mr. C's Towing of South Gate Inc., a Franchise Towing Services Agreement 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 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 fimiish 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 ii 359 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 reconnlending 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 1126, 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 cal 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. ATTACHMENTS • 1.

Services to be performed by the selected tow service company include vehicle towing and impound services as directed by the Vernon Police Department. Based on the quality of the proposals received, the City may consider awarding a single tow franchise contract, or multiple tow franchise contracts using a call -for -service rotation. The City does not expect to award more than two (2) franchise agreements under the rotational system, although City Council reserves the right to award contracts at its sole discretion, based on the proposals submitted. The City will select no more than two (2) tow service companies, based on demonstrated competence and a cost effective approach to design, conduct, and assist in the removal of vehicles which are apparently abandoned, or driven by unlicensed drivers, or drivers driving on suspended licenses, or involved in traffic collisions, or vehicles creating a traffic hazard due to mechanical failures. To be eligible for consideration, the tow service company's place of business and vehicle storage facility must be located within a seven (7) mile radius of the Vernon City Hall, located at 4305 Santa Fe Avenue, Vernon CA 90058. 2. BACKGROUND 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 201h century the lands that make up Vernon were comprised largely of farmlands. The presence of three major rail lines in the area led influential 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 facilities. In 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 operations have relocated out of Southern California and Vernon has attracted smaller, lighter industrial facilities. The City's business friendly environment, low cost utilities and key location for trucking and rail transport continue to position Vernon as an ideal location for industrial uses. City Government: The City Council consists of five members, elected at -large, who serve five-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, International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 47, and Teamsters Local 911. 365 -2- City of Vernon Franchise Tow Fee Program Request for Proposals 3.

Thank you for your consideration of U.S. Tow for this contract. h Very truly fours, C ZOSAen Stephanie McColgan President/CEO Vice President and Secretary/Treasurer -iv- rn rn M INTRODUCTION U.S. Tow, Inc. has served as the Official Police Garage for the Newton Division of the Los Angeles Police Department for the past 13 years. In this capacity, we have been responsible for towing and storage services for the LAPD, the Department of Transportation and other City of Los Angeles departments. We have additionally served the California Highway Patrol and the Los Angeles County Sheriff s Department. During those years, we have developed strong and impeccable guidelines for the conduct of our business. We also have developed strong ties to the community which surrounds our facility and of which we consider ourselves a part. U.S. Tow, Inc. also has served as the Franchise Tow Fee Program contractor for the City of Vernon Police Department for the past three years. As such, we view ourselves as having a specific contractual obligation to Vernon and it is twofold: (1) every single day of the year and every single hour of each day we must provide an organized, timely response to the officers of the Vernon Police Department to pick up and tow vehicles and there can be no lapse in this performance; and (2) at the time that a vehicle is released to its owner, we must provide careful, courteous and empathetic service throughout the release. It is important to note that, in the three years that we have served the Vernon Police Department, we have never had a motorist complaint. We must additionally create accurate and complete paperwork as part of the entire process. It is thus significant to note that, in the three years that we have served the Vernon Police Department, the City has consistently received monthly reports/franchise fees in a timely manner. For those vehicles that are not released and must instead flow through the lien process, a completely different set of rules governs. This process also requires stringent controls and strict compliance with the law. We are dedicated to providing service to the City of Vernon while, at the same time, maintaining strong standards of quality and safety for our customers. And, we strongly believe that we can continue to serve the Vernon Police Department as a single provider. U. S. Tow has through the years of its operation developed strong training processes for every one of our staff persons. We consider these to be the core of our association with the LAPD, City of Vernon Police Department, DOT and other City agencies as well as our private clients. We continuously leave no detail of our employee training to chance, making every effort to provide our staff with training that is comprehensive and meaningful. As a result, we are able to keep customer complaints to a minimum. U. S. Tow has always supported involvement in the community in which we work. However, since his acquisition of the business in 2013, Moshe Ben Dayan has made a particular effort to increase the community involvement of the firm. Mr. Ben Dayan understands that investment in the community in which he works represents an investment in U.S. Tow itself. I As you evaluate the possibility of again selecting U.S. Tow as the City of Vernon's Franchise Tow contractor, we want you to understand that we at U.S. Tow will continue to work very hard every day to provide the very best service to the City of Vernon, the members of Vernon's Police Force and the customers associated with those towing and storage operations. We bring to this submission our extensive past OPG experience, our three years of service as the City of Vernon Police Department's Franchise Tow contractor, Mr. Ben Dayan's expertise and the professional qualifications and dedication of our staff. As you know, we do not require a site; we have one. We do not require a functioning office with all of the latest computer and security equipment; we have it. We do not require tow equipment; we have the best. We understand that the Request For Proposal for the letting of the Franchise Tow Fee Program contract is competitive, but we ask that you consider our past experience with the LAPD and the City of Vernon, our long-term operation and staying power, our relationship with the community and our commitment to strong performance at all times and in all circumstances. 0 It GENERAL SCOPE OF WORK/ WORK PLAN FACILITY Physical Location The facility of U.S. Tow, Inc. is located at 2119 East 25t', Street, directly across 25t' Street from the northern boundary of the City of Vernon. This proximity provides us with a distinct advantage relative to the provision of towing and storage services to the City of Vernon Police Department, to customers who must redeem vehicles and for evidence hold purposes. U.S. Tow's facility is a point of great pride for its owner and management. Our facility consists of state-of-the-art construction and contains clean, well organized, modem evidence hold, ancillary storage, dispatch and office space. It is situated on a fully concreted lot which is meticulously maintained. We pride ourselves on the image that is conveyed to the governmental agencies with which we are involved including the City of Vernon, the public that we serve and the surrounding community and this image is carefully monitored. Our location complies with all City of Los Angeles zoning requirements for a towing operation and auto park, with a zoning designation of M3-1, and no Conditional Use Permit is required. We believe that U.S. Tow sets the bar for the way in which a towing operation facility should appear. Our property contains 174,240 square feet (4.0 acres) with aluminum and steel fencing which is eight feet in height and is topped with concertina wire. The yard has concrete flooring and contains capacity for 750 vehicles. Because of this large capacity, we are able to store impounded vehicles for as long as is deemed necessary by the Police agency involved including the City of Vernon Police Department. The yard is very well lighted and there are 50 cameras providing 24-hour video surveillance (archived for a minimum of 180 days). Our storage yard is immediately adjacent to our business office and is attended at all times by our staff members. U. S. Tow has personnel on -site 24 hours per day 365 days per year and we are open to the public between 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. seven days per week 365 days per year. We are also always available to accommodate special City events. Our property has been leased to U.S. Tow on a long-term basis. Our property lease was renegotiated shortly after Moshe Ben Dayan acquired the company in 2013. The initial lease term of five years ran from September, 2013 to September, 2018. We now have begun the first of two options of five years each, with the lease ultimately terminating in 2028. 3 N O In addition to our primary facility, U.S. Tow has a secondary lot located at 1615 East Adams Boulevard, a distance of .8 miles. This site contains two acres of land and a small supply office and has a capacity of approximately 200 vehicles of ancillary storage. The site is well secured with lighting, 12-foot high solid aluminum fencing, security cameras and security beams with sirens. Administrative Facility Our facility contains approximately 12,600 total square feet of building area and houses four separate personnel offices, dispatch, accounting, a filing room for auction records and other files, a lien sale area, an IT area, a classroom/break room for company and community use, an Evidence Hold Area and ancillary storage space. Evidence Hold Area This 2,600-square-foot secure area has 24-hour surveillance and limited access with specific rules for entering and exiting. It is equipped with two roll -up doors for unobstructed access and has a capacity of 10 vehicles. There is an additional secondary Evidence Hold Area which is protected by one metal roll -up door and a bullet proof ballistic glass pedestrian door as well as an Evidence Property Room. Our Evidence Hold Area has a specifically designated inspection area which is accessible only to designated U.S. Tow personnel and Police officials. Indoor Workshop Our facility has an indoor workshop for the storage of equipment such as air compressors and tine changing machines. TOW EQUIPMENT The staff and management of U.S. Tow, Inc. have many combined years of experience with various types of tow equipment. This experience has resulted in the knowledge that deploying the correct equipment is critical to the efficiency and success of Official Police Tow operation. All of our tow equipment is equipped as provided in the California Vehicle Code. Another very important element for our operation is that our tow drivers have the best and most appropriate equipment to complete tasks in a damage free and expeditious manner. As the members of the Vernon Police Department well know, the area in which we are located has a diverse impound environment. Vehicles often are stripped of major components such as wheels, engines and body panels and sometimes are burned and/or wrecked. At the other end of the spectrum, we handle custom and high value vehicles. Our equipment, including flatbeds and wheel-lift/standard duty trucks as well as heavy duty equipment including trucks and a trailer, is engineered to accommodate these diverse situations in a timely and efficient manner. 4 M O It Our wheel-lift/standard duty trucks have been engineered and manufactured to be efficient and fast, thereby providing for the immediate removal of vehicles from major thoroughfares. With these trucks, peak hour tow away zones can be cleared expeditiously to relieve traffic congestion and provide the public with clear paths to their destinations during heavy traffic periods while allowing City personnel to respond to other duties without unnecessary delays. With the utilization of experienced and trained personnel, an impounded vehicle can be removed in just minutes by a wheel-lift/standard duty truck. Wheel -lifts additionally provide damage free towing by lifting vehicles by only their tires. Body panels, front ends, bumpers and under carriages are not touched by the towing unit, thereby ensuring damage free handling of towed vehicles. Wheel- lift/standard duty trucks also allow efficient towing from parking garages and towing from off -road areas. Our flatbed carriers have been selected to provide efficient and damage free vehicle removal and transport. Vehicles with extensive damage, missing wheels or which are heavily burned are suited for removal by flatbed. Flatbeds also are well suited to hybrid, electric, exotic and custom vehicles. In addition., bulk items such as cargo from damaged vehicles, large or heavy vehicle components from "chop shops," motorcycles or stolen vehicles can be safely loaded onto flatbeds to provide damage free transport with minimal loading time. Flatbed carriers also provide the capability to transport two vehicles at the same time, thus allowing us to respond quickly and efficiently when requests for service are made in proximate geographic locations or when requests are made in a narrow time frame. Our choice of Kenworth and Peterbilt chasses is based upon their capability to handle two vehicles at once and/or to transport heavy and/or oddly shaped cargo safely. Our heavy duty trucks, with their adjustable booms and five - ton lifting capacity, and our heavy duty trailer are available for the heaviest requirements including the towing of large and oversized vehicles, and again attest to our well- rounded, complete towing capability. Our drivers are highly trained to operate all of our tow units. In particular, flatbed units require highly skilled drivers with a thorough knowledge of the machinery involved. They also are trained to unlock locked vehicles, a frequent request from our Police clients. Our drivers are trained to operate units with the priority of safety to themselves and to the public they serve. Continuing education enhances their knowledge base and ability to perform the tasks involved. If selected to again be the Franchise Tow Fee Program contractor for the City of Vernon Police Department, we will continue our process of filing with the Department the name, address, date of birth, driver's license number and all other information required relative to each of our drivers. We will also notify the Department of any driver no longer employed by us as well as the identity of any driver whose license is suspended. Our training procedures are in writing and are available for perusal by the Vernon Police Department at any time. U. S. Tow, Inc. also is a member in good standing of the California Department of Motor Vehicles Pull Program. I Within our facility, the use of forklifts with special attachments provide efficient and damage free vehicle movement and/or vehicle release. Our forklifts are powered by liquid propane, providing low emission levels and reduced carbon monoxide release. U. S. Tow constantly monitors trends in tow equipment, vehicle impounds and safety practices. It is through this due diligence that we are able to provide our clients and the motoring public with the highest level of safety and service. U.S. Tow has a total of eight tow units, including two wheel -lifts and six flatbeds. We additionally have three heavy duty trucks and one heavy duty trailer. In addition, U.S. Tow has access to the 23 trucks of Tip Top Tow Service in case of a large emergency operation or a disaster operation. A listing of the tow units of U.S. Tow is provided on the following page. TWO -RAY RADIO COMMUNICATION EQUIPMENT U.S. Tow, Inc. uses Kenwood hardware for its two-way radio system. The system employs mountain -top repeaters to maximize coverage area and provide reliable, quality communication, thus enabling instant access to our fleet and personnel. Our two-way radio communication equipment also sends and receives Police tow requests between dispatch and our tow units on a first priority basis. Through its use, all of our clients benefit from faster service, increased efficiency, quick schedule or task changing and higher productivity. The City of Vernon Police Department has for the past three years been the recipient of the quality communication deriving from this system. DISPATCH COMPONENTS U.S. Tow, Inc. utilizes an efficient dispatch system which features three components — proper tools, adequate staffing and management oversight. Our use of GPS vehicle tracking and computerized dispatch is integrated to maintain the highest level of service. Our system includes time stamping of all requests received as well as notation of the exact time the request is assigned to a tow unit, the time the tow unit arrives at the scene of the request and the time that the tow unit returns to the U.S. Tow facility. Our system also assigns a number to each tow request for tracking purposes. Our dispatch terminals are dedicated to the function of dispatch only. Our radio communications equipment sends and receives Police tow requests between dispatch and the tow units on a "first priority" basis. The dispatchers of U.S. Tow are trained in the effective use of radio equipment in order to maximize efficiency. The dispatch office is equipped with a telephone system capable of receiving tow requests on a "first priority" basis and dedicated telephone lines ensure "first priority" to "Police" calls. Dispatch is a dedicated function on a 24-hour per day, seven-day per week, 365-day per year basis. Dispatchers are available to release vehicles seven days per week between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. and for a minimum period of four hours after any special event. Every member of our office staff is cross -trained in order to provide an excellent service standard in the execution of dispatch duties. 1.1 0 ItT TOW UNITS U.S. Tow, Inc. owns 13 tow units and one trailer, as follows: I Weight Unit T Year Make VIN 19 i Flatbed 2005 KT-300 h V26,000 2NKMHZ6X05M098216 I i 20 Flatbed 2015 Peterbilt 26,000 2NPNIB16X0FM298418 22 Wheel -lift 2005 Ford F-550 ; 19,000 1FDAF56P55EB89089 27 Flatbed 2006 i Kenworth 26,000 _---I2—t--NKMHZ6X56M154250 T-300 28 Flatbed 2016 i Peterbilt 26,000 2NP2HM6XXGM347211 T337 eel-i 2017 Dodge 19,700 3C7WRMBL1HG572607 F33:TFlatbe'dft 5500 2017 Kenworth 26,000 2NKHF1MM6X91HM133554 T-270 34 Flatbed ' 2017 Kenworth 26,000 2NKUHM6X4HM133560 T-270 35 Flatbed 201 S Kenworth 26,000 2NKHHM6XXJM181201 T-270 25 Wrecker 2014 Peterbilt 54,000 INPWL49XOED187127 16 Wrecker 2015 Kenworth 35,000 2NKHHMZXXFM439593 80 Tractor 2007 Freightliner 80,000 1FUA6CK47LX17262 81 Trailer 2015 Landoll 97,000 ILH440VHIF1021834 82 Tractor 2015 Peterbilt 52,000 IXPCDP9X4FD290009 377 INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY KNOWLEDGE The computer system utilized by U.S. Tow is the Towing Operations Systems (TOPS) system. It is used for both dispatch and accounting. The program utilizes functions which provide dispatch, vehicle inventory search, property removal with receipt, inspection of a vehicle with receipt, evidentiary hold area search and auditing, lien processing including the removal of liened vehicles, VIN verification of make and model, cash on delivery options and private property impound tracking. Not all employees are granted access to sensitive information contained in the tow Program. Only management and ownership can access all records pertaining to any particular vehicle. Any changes made in the computer record concerning a vehicle are tracked through an exception report. The exception report is checked every morning by management to ensure that no unauthorized changes have been made to any computer record. The program also has a fleet function by which U.S. Tow can maintain fleet data as well as an accounting function for maintenance of accounts payable and accounts receivable. TOPS also has reporting functions that allow us to keep daily, weekly and monthly internal reports. Our accounting department additionally uses QuickBooks to maintain a checks and balances system for all accounts. QuickBooks provides U. S. Tow with a controlled method by which to track accounts, print statements and maintain a ledger for monies that flow in and out of the company. QuickBooks Pro is used to pay bills, record payroll, reconcile cash and keep track of vendor and employee ledgers and advances. A daily back-up of our computer system is completed and stored at a remote location. An outside firm monitors this back-up on a daily basis. We additionally have software support readily available for our tow program. All files are backed up several times per day and we have a working generator in case of a significant power failure. Our computer system, software and tow program are set up to generate franchise fees (which are placed in a separate account) and impound information and the safeguards are in place to monitor these functions at all times. Our dispatch, tow lot management, impound and franchise fee software has a long history of use within U.S. Tow. Our hardware has been carefully selected to provide both reliability and ease of use. Computer work stations, servers, telecommunications and video surveillance have been chosen and implemented to provide the highest levels of security, accuracy, accountability and service. ELI ti 0 It VEHICLE IMPOUND INFORMATION CENTER VIIC Reports The V11C system provides our law enforcement customers including the City of Vernon Police Department with real-time reconciliation and auditing of remitted fees through a computer system that cannot be altered. This system provides very readable PDF reports or reports that can be downloaded into a CSV file for the Police Department's use in daily oversight. VIIC system features include: • Detailed monthly activity reports which show all impound and storage activity; • Vehicle reports which show vehicle date in and date out; • Vehicles by "hold" status; • Gross revenue remittance reports; and • Vehicle release fee remittance reports. Law Enforcement Access And Information The VIIC system allows authorized personnel to quickly and accurately track vehicles, thus ensuring the proper collection of fees for towed and impounded vehicles. Through secured Internet access (btW-//www.opgJaviic._com) or by stand-alone computers located within authorized law enforcement facilities such as the Vernon Police Department, users can obtain immediate access to information pertaining to impounded vehicles 24 hours per day 7 days per week. This information consists of several components including vehicle inventories by vehicle make, license plate VIN and original location of the impound. Public Access And Information Although the information available to law enforcement agencies such as the Vernon Police Department is more comprehensive than that available to the general public, the VIIC system also provides the public with valuable real-time information which facilitates the location of impounded vehicles. With the VIIC system, the public can determine the location of vehicles through Internet access. Required search information includes the license plate number and V1N. Once the vehicle is located, the VIIC system provides the U. S. Tow name and address, directions to our facility, release hours, fees incurred and a simple matrix by which fees can be calculated. MONTHLY REPORTS If again selected to be the Franchise Tow Fee Program contractor for the City of Vernon Police Department, U.S. Tow will continue to submit a monthly report to the Captain of Police which, as per the City of Vernon requirement, includes the following: *Total Police impounds. *Number of times dispatched by the Vernon Police Department. *Number of calls resulting in impounds. *Number of vehicles sold on lien sale under authority of Section 3072 Civil Code and reporting said lien sales as per authority of Section 22705 CVC. *Names and addresses of buyers and description of vehicles when sold. *Number of calls answered in which time beyond one hour was required. EVIDENCE HOLD VEHICLES U.S. Tow, Inc. has 13 years of experience as an OPG for the City of Los Angeles Police Department and thus of dealing with vehicles and vehicle -related components that are on "hold" for evidence or require processing by a crime lab unit. Moshe Ben Dayan, the owner of U. S. Tow, has 28 years of experience in the handling of evidentiary holds and maintaining the integrity of the "chain of custody" in conjunction with his other public agency towing operations through his firm Classic Tow, Inc. dba Tip Top Tow Service. Over the past three years U.S. Tow also has also provided evidence hold services to the Vernon Police Department. All of our personnel are acutely aware of the importance of handling vehicles with evidence holds. A set of specific steps are consistently employed in order to ensure that vehicles are not mishandled and that the "chain of custody" is maintained at all times. All of our personnel receive training on how to deal with vehicles from the moment a call is generated until the final disposition of the vehicle occurs. • Dispatchers advise drivers of a request for service for a vehicle that requires special handling due to evidence or criminal lab processing. • Drivers request from the impounding officer or the officer in charge at the scene of the impound whether any special handling is required so as not to touch surfaces of a vehicle, not to enter a vehicle, not to disturb possible material under or on a vehicle or any other special requests dealing with the handling of the vehicle. • Once evidence hold vehicles arrive at the storage yard, drivers sign the Evidence Log Book noting the time, date, year, make, model, color, VIN, license and names of any persons who will enter the Evidence Hold Area in conjunction with the vehicle. 1.0 Following placement of a vehicle or components of a vehicle within the Evidence Hold Area and the securing of the Hold Area, drivers return to the office to notate the date and time of completion of the vehicle and/or vehicle components placement. • Drivers receive instruction on the handling of vehicles utilizing our equipment so that the vehicle can be transported without disturbing fingerprints and/or other physical evidence contained on or inside it. As vehicles arrive at our location, they are entered into our vehicle inventory database and the Evidence Log Book. In order to verify the time of entry, U.S. Tow utilizes a time stamp along with the manual entry in the Evidence Log Book. Within the vehicle database, a special "hold" is placed and this creates a flag which must be specifically acknowledged prior to any change including an authorized release by the agency placing the original hold on the vehicle such as the Vernon Police Department. Often vehicles get released from "hold" status prior to the release of the vehicle to the owner or interested party. Vehicles that are released from a "hold" status prior to removal by the owner or interested party have specific notes entered in the vehicle database as well as the agency, name, ID, date and time that the vehicle's "hold" status was removed. Associated paperwork is additionally attached to the vehicle record (CHP180). Once the vehicle has had the "hold" released, it is removed from the Evidence Hold Area and placed in the general vehicle inventory. U.S. Tow has a segregated, completely enclosed evidence warehouse with a storage capacity of a minimum of 10 evidentiary/criminalistic hold vehicles. U.S. Tow also maintains an area that can be converted to a temporary secure hold area in the event of a large scale crime involving many vehicles or bulk items. A minimum of six additional vehicles can be secured in this area. Evidence Hold Area entry is limited to OPG employees and concerned law enforcement officials such as members of the Vernon Police Department and video surveillance is used to enhance the security of vehicles within the Evidence Hold Area. An electronic record of the person, time, date and duration of access is maintained. This is accomplished through entry system technology which features a magnetic lock system with unique entry key fob assigned only to management. The supplier of our entry control and electronic entry and exit recordkeeping is Axis. The Axis system features electronic recording and physical hardware that is secure and that provides access Iimited to management in order to ensure that the "chain of custody" is not compromised. All entries are also noted in the Evidence Log Book. The elements of recording and recordkeeping of entry to our Evidence Hold Area allow management and law enforcement to validate all access. The area has large, clear posting prohibiting entry. The Evidence Hold Area features ample lighting to aid detectives and/or evidence technicians in the processing of vehicles. U.S. Tow also has a vehicle lift available on -site to aid investigators. Through all of these mechanisms, we ensure that only vehicles or vehicle parts that are held for evidence or criminalistic hold are stored within the Evidence Hold Area. ill With respect to the City of Vernon Police Department, if U.S. Tow is again selected to be the Franchise Tow Fee Program contractor, notification will be provided to the Police Captain or his/her designee of vehicles with a "hold" that are stored in excess of 72 hours. Asper the City of Vernon Police Department requirement, "holds" will expire 10 calendar days after the date of a tow unless otherwise extended by a Police Department employee. LIEN SALE EXPERIENCE U.S. Tow, Inc. files for vehicle liens following California Civil Code Sections 3068.1, 3071, 3072 and 3074. Ultimately, not all liens started end in disposal through public auction. Many vehicles are redeemed by registered owners, legal owners or authorized interested parties, thus accomplishing the intended purpose of notification followed by redemption. In the event that a vehicle is not redeemed, a sale is conducted to satisfy the outstanding lien and avoid the stockpiling of vehicles. Vehicle disposal through public auction has been performed for more than 13 years by U.S. Tow and more than 23 years by Moshe Ben Dayan via other towing operations that he owns and operates. U.S. Tow sells vehicles in a fair and impartial manner to the highest bidder. Our sale list is posted in public view at our facility a minimum of 10 days prior to the sale date, and vehicles are available for inspection one -and one-half hours prior to the sale time on the sale date. We continually strive to improve levels of customer service to members of the public who attend our weekly auto auctions. U.S. Tow is bound by California Civil Codes relating to the disposal of impounded vehicles. U. S. Tow also stringently follows the fee structure outlined in the California Civil Codes that pertain to the processing of vehicle liens. If again selected to be the Franchise Tow Fee Program contractor to the Vernon Police Department, we will continue to always be available to review any other elements of our lien sale operation requested by the Police Department. CUSTOMER SERVICE U.S. Tow takes extreme pride in its exceptional customer service. The impound process is by its very nature a stress producing experience and we attempt in every possible way to expedite the process and make it as comfortable as possible. Registered owners redeeming vehicles can expect to deal with employees who are well trained, courteous and professional and with a facility which is clean, modern and secure and which provides them with comfort in the event that they need to wait for appropriate paperwork, acceptable form of payment or a towing service for a disabled vehicle in order to complete the release process. U.S. Tow completely understands the responsibility for the proper release of vehicles to parties who have a legal right to take possession and we take all necessary precautions through established procedures throughout the release process. Our personnel are trained to verify that a proper release has been issued by us or by the relevant governmental impounding agency including the Vernon Police Department prior to the release of vehicles that have either a statutory or evidence hold. A dedicated 12 computer system is available to check the "scofflaw" status of vehicles prior to their release. Personal property is released to identified, authorized persons and is inventoried and notated on the vehicle record. Our staff also is trained to answer general questions regarding the disposition of vehicles and lien sale auction information. Computer equipment with access to our vehicle inventory software is available to handle high - volume release situations. COMMUNITY SUPPORT AND INVOLVEMENT U.S. Tow has since its inception and continues to understand the importance of support of and involvement in the local community. Even though we are physically located in an industrialized portion of the City of Los Angeles as the Vernon Police Department well understands, we are very aware that there is a significant community of residents surrounding our site. As such, it has been our continuing philosophy of operation to identify and support portions of the community and community projects in need of financial sponsorship and the donation of other assets. We additionally have a well appointed classroom/break room at our facility which we offer for community use. 13 U.S. TOW, INC.

Mr. Ben Dayan is the sole Owner/President/CEO and owns 100% of the corporation. U.S. Tow, Inc. has a primary location at 2119 East 25'l Street, Los Angeles, and a secondary storage location at 1615 East Adams Boulevard, Los Angeles. These facilities have been discussed previously in this Proposal under General Scope of Work/Work Plan. The firm has a total of 25 employees. STATE AND CITY LICENSES U.S. Tow, Inc. is licensed to operate in the State of California, the City of Los Angeles and the City of Vernon.

EXPERIENCE OPERATING A COMPLEX BUSINESS As stated above, Moshe Ben Dayan purchased U.S. Tow, Inc. in 2013. Mr. Ben Dayan came to the purchase with a strong understanding of the highly regulated and complex operations of an Official Police Garage/Police Tow. Since his purchase of U.S. Tow, Mr, Ben Dayan has been working to improve the already strong operations and level of service of U.S. Tow's overall operations. Based upon commendations that he has received from members of the Los Angeles Police Department and other U.S. Tow clients, he appears to be succeeding. Since 2015 U.S. Tow has been the Franchise Tow Fee Program provider for the City of Vernon Police Department. In that regard, we have performed as the sole provider of towing and storage services to the Vernon Police Department. During the course of the contract, we have met the requirements of the Vernon Police Department including more than sufficient and qualified office, dispatch and driver personnel; well equipped and diverse tow trucks with both light duty and heavy duty capability, an excellent primary facility which is located very proximate to the City of Vernon boundary; and careful, diligent management providing constant oversight. In addition to U.S. Tow, Mr. Ben Dayan owns and operates Classic Tow, Inc. dba Tip Top Tow Service. He founded and has owned and operated this company since 1989 and it has been his full-time and only business involvement until his purchase of U.S. Tow. 15 Tip Top Tow Service is the Official Police Tow for both the Cities of Santa Monica and Beverly Hills. The firm has worked in this capacity for Santa Monica since 1993 and for Beverly Hills since 2012. Service to these entities is highly regulated and involves impounding of vehicles including owner requests, statutory holds and evidence holds as well as the roadside servicing of City -owned vehicles and traffic accident assistance.

Additionally, Mr. Ben Dayan is a Freeway Service Patrol provider for the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LACMTA), providing freeway roadside services to stranded motorists since 2005. The contracts let by this Agency are highly regulated with scheduled and random inspections of tow truck units and facilities conducted by LACMTA itself as well as by the State of California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and a special unit of the CHP known as "David Units." The level of regulation imposed by the CEP's David Units is unequaled in the towing industry, with strict enforcement of rules and regulations as well as of drivers and trucks in the field through monitoring by GPS, Caltrans and the CEP itself. The contracts of LACMTA mandate that detail be paid and rules adhered to relative to a multitude of policies and procedures and that standards be strictly enforced. Moshe Ben Dayan and Tip Top Tow Service have never had a contract fail to renew due to substandard service or violation of any rules and/or regulations. The successful operation of a tow business is complex, with many areas of responsibility. We are responsible 24 hours per day 365 days per year for dealing with the vehicles and personal possessions of many people, some of whom are angry about having been towed in the first place, distraught over damage to their vehicle or who are dealing with the consequences of having a family member or friend injured in an automobile accident. We are responsible 24 hours per day 365 days per year for dealing with law enforcement and the complexities of evidentiary holds, constantly being attentive to the issues involved in the potential contamination of important evidence. We are responsible for conducting lien sales with careful attention to the legalities of this procedure such that we do not err either on our own part or for the interests of the customer. We are responsible to our employees for the creation of a work environment that is comfortable, clean and conducive to minimizing the stress of a business which requires proficiency in taking calls, dispatching drivers accurately and quickly and performing tow services in an efficient, orderly and courteous manner. We are responsible to the many vendors with whom we do business including insurance providers and equipment and parts providers and we must be vigilant at all times regarding the licenses and permits that we hold.
