Number of potential cases: 1
The City is currently in a dispute with Bicent (California) Malburg, LLC
(`Bicent"), the owner and operator of the Malburg Generating Station
("MGS"), which has resulted in Bicent initiating suit against the City (see
"Existing Litigation" closed session item). Prior to the initiation of the suit,
the City issued multiple Notices of Default under that certain Power Purchase
Tolling Agreement, dated as of April 10, 2008 (as amended, the "PPTA").
The City's claims relate to, among other things, Bicent's failure to timely
repair equipment, failure to timely produce documents requested under the
PPTA, misrepresentation of available capacity, and improper overbilling (by
over $ 6 million). The City's claims also include various statutory claims
arising out of the improper billing by Bicent of Vernon. Based on these
claims, the City provided notice to Bicent that it disputed certain invoices and
would exercise its payment withholding rights under certain dispute resolution
provisions in the PPTA. Subsequently, on April 22, 2019, Bicent issued a
Notice of Event of Default for failure to pay.
At 11:30 a.m. City Council exited closed session. City Attorney Patel reported that three cases

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

Support and Maintenance Agreement upon the execution of the Escrow Arrangement.
(a) Harris and Lincoln -Parry (the "Escrow Agent") have entered into an escrow
agreement (the "Escrow Agreement"). The Source Code is provided by Harris to
the Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Organization has
a right to the Source Code pursuant to the provisions of this Schedule and the
Escrow Agreement as it has agreed to participate in the Escrow Arrangement and
is a beneficiary because the Organization has completed the Escrow Arrangement
document. Harris agrees that if an "Event of Default" occurs, then the Organization
shall have the right to one copy of the most current version of the Source Code for
the affected Software and associated Documentation.
(b) An Event of Default is defined as and shall be deemed to have occurred if Harris:
(1) ceases to market or make available maintenance or support services for the
Software during a period in which the Organization is entitled to receive or to
purchase, or is receiving or purchasing, such maintenance and support and Harris
has not promptly cured such failure despite the Organization's demand that Harris
make available or perform such maintenance and support, (2) becomes insolvent,
executes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or becomes subject to
bankruptcy or receivership proceedings, and it continues to be subject to
bankruptcy proceedings ninety (90) days following either its application into
bankruptcy protection or the commencement of such proceedings, or (3) has
transferred all or substantially all of its assets or obligations set forth in this
Agreement to a third party which has not assumed all of the obligations of Harris
set forth in this Agreement.
(c) Harris will promptly and continuously update and supplement the Source Code as
necessary with all corrections, improvements, updates, releases, or other changes
developed for the Software and Documentation. Such Source Code shall be in a
form suitable for reproduction and use and shall consist of a full source language
statement of the program or programs comprising the Software.
(d) The governing License for the Software includes the right to use Source Code
received under this Schedule as necessary to modify, maintain, and update the
Software but for no other purposes outside the normal business operations of the
Organization.
(e) The termination of the Support and Maintenance Agreement shall immediately end
the Organization's rights as a beneficiary under the Escrow Agreement and Escrow
Arrangement, as applicable.
(f) This Schedule "A" shall form part of the Support and Maintenance Agreement only
Page 41

where an Escrow Arrangement is entered into by the parties. The Escrow
Agreement provides that either the Escrow Agent or Harris will annually send
notices to the Organization of the Escrow Agent's continued possession of the
Source Code and will also state the activity related to the Source Code provided to
the Escrow Agent by Harris for the previous year. The Escrow Agreement cannot

Response Times
Response times will vary and are dependent on the priority of the call. We do our best to ensure

escalated based on the urgency of the issue reported. Our response time guidelines are as
follows:
Priority 1: 1 - 4 hours
Priority 2: 1 - 8 hours
Priority 3: 1 - 24 hours
Call Priorities
In an effort to assign our resources to incoming calls as effectively as possible, we have
identified three types of call priorities, 1, 2 and 3. A Priority 1 call is deemed by our support
staff to be an Urgent or High Priority call, Priority 2 is classified as a Medium Priority and
Priority 3 is deemed to be a Low Priority. The criteria used to establish guidelines for these calls
are as follows:
Priority 1— High
• System Down (Software Application, Hardware, Operating System, Database)
• Inability to process bills
• Program errors without workarounds
• Aborted postings or error messages preventing data integration and update
• Performance issues of severe nature impacting critical processes
Priority 2 - Medium
• System errors that have workarounds
• Reports calculation issues
• Printer related issues (related to interfaces with our software and not the printer itself)
• Security issues
• Hand-held issues not preventing billing
• Performance issues not impacting critical processes
• Usability issues
• Workstation connectivity issues (Workstation specific)
Page 45
AGENDA ITEM APPROVED

Priority 3 - Low
• Report formatting issues
• Training questions, how to, or implementing new processes
• Aesthetic issues
• Issues with workarounds
• Recommendations for enhancements on system changes
• Questions on documentation
Call Process
All issues or questions reported to support are tracked via a support call or ticket; our support
analysts cannot provide assistance unless a support call or ticket is logged. Our current process
for logging calls and tickets includes the following: eSupport (via website), email, phone and
fax.
• Your ticket must contain at a minimum: your organization name, contact person, software
product and version, module and/or menu selection, nature of issue, detailed description
of your question or issue and any other information you believe pertinent.
• Our ticketing system or one of our support analysts will provide you with a ticket ID to
track your issue.
• Your ticket will be assigned to the first available support representative.
• As the support representative assigned to your ticket investigates your issue, you will be
contacted and advised as to where the issue stands and the course of action that will be
taken for resolution. If we require additional information, you will be contacted by the
assigned support representative to supply the information required.
• All correspondence and actions associated with your ticket will be tracked in our support
ticketing system. At any time, if available to you, you may log onto our ticketing system
to see the status of your call.
• Once your issue has been resolved, you will receive an automated notification by email
that your ticket has been closed. This email will contain the entire event history of the
issue from the time the ticket was created and leading up to the resolution of the issue.
You also have the option of viewing both your open and closed tickets, if available to
you, via our support ticketing system.
• Contact the support department at your convenience for a status update on your
development issues, or log onto our ticketing system (if available to you) to view your
issues on-line.

Connection Methods
To ensure we can effectively support our clients, we require that a communication link is
established and maintained between our two sites. It is the Organization's responsibility to
ensure the connection is valid at your location so that we can connect to your site and resolve any
issues. Our preferred method of connection is through Remote Desktop which can be
accomplished using a VPN account and the MS Windows Remote Desktop client or a variety of
remote connection tools (logmein.com, TeamViewer, join.me, VNC, etc). Harris will work with
the client to establish a mutually agreeable remote connection policy.

The Vernon Housing Commission has a need for legal consulting services regarding City -owned housing, as the
previous housing legal services agreement will expire on May 19, 2019. Pursuant to the City's Purchasing Ordinance,
the proposed agreement is being awarded based on a recent competitive selection process completed by the City
Attorneys Office, wherein a Request for Proposals was issued and responses were evaluated by a panel of City staff.
Individual scores were assigned by members of the evaluation panel, and the top rated firms in various practice areas
were identified for firrther consideration. BBK was ranked as one of the top three full service firms. Based on this
comprehensive competitive selection process, the City Attorneys Office selected BBK as the most suitable firm to
provide legal consulting services regarding City -owned housing.
Accordingly, staff is requesting authority to enter into an Attorney Services Agreement with BBK for a three-year term,
with total consideration not to exceed $60,000. Although it is a separate agreement, the total contracted amount with
BBK will surpass the $100,000 threshold, and pursuant to Section 2.17.02 (B) of the VMC, authorization from the
City Council is required in order to enter into the proposed agreement with BBK.
BBK's proposed hourly billing rates for advisory/transactional services are $325 (partners) and $260 (associates). In
accordance with the City's good governance contract terms and procedures, these rates are similar to or more
favorable than the rates charged to other governmental entities.
The proposed agreement has been reviewed and approved as to form by the City Attorneys Office.

Fiscal cal Impact:
The fiscal impact to the City under the proposed contract term is $60,000. The remaining finds from the expiring
agreement for legal consulting services regarding housing are sufficient to cover the costs with the new proposed
agreement during the remainder of the 2018-2019 fiscal year. Sufficient funds will be budgeted accordingly in the
Public Works housing budget for the 2019-2020 fiscal year.

VERNON AND BEST BEST & KRIEGER LLP FOR LEGAL CONSULTING SERVICES
REGARDING CITY OWNED HOUSING
This Agreement is entered into by and between the City of Vernon ("City"), a California
charter City and California municipal corporation ("City"), and Best Best & Krieger LLP, a limited
liability partnership ("Associate Counsel"). City and Associate Counsel are collectively referred
to herein as the "Parties."
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the City desires to engage Associate Counsel, in association with the City
Attorney, to provide legal consulting and advisory services regarding City -owned housing and
the Vernon Housing Commission, and to provide advice and assistance in housing -related legal
matters from time to time; and
WHEREAS, Associate Counsel possesses the skills, qualifications, and experience
necessary to assist as Associate Counsel in said matters; and
WHEREAS, the City Attorney of the City of Vernon, herein referred to as "City Attorney,"
is the Chief Legal Advisor for the City and is charged with the responsibility of protecting the
interests of the City, its Council, officers, employees and agents, as provided for by California
law and the Charter and ordinances of the City.
WITNESSETH:
NOW, THEREFORE, the Parties agree as follows:
1.0 Scope of Services.
Associate Counsel hereby is associated as Counsel of Record in association with
the City Attorney to perform such legal services as may be required from time to time in
connection with specific transactional matters and other legal matters as specified in Exhibit "A",
hereto. Arlene Prater, a principal member of the firm of Associate Counsel, shall be responsible
for the performance of services hereunder, and shall supervise any services performed by other
members of Associate Counsel's firm and by its employees, including but not limited to
Elizabeth Hull, a partner of the firm of Associate Counsel. It is understood that the City Attorney
is chief counsel of record for all purposes. In light of the subject matter and scope of this
Agreement, Associate Counsel's performance hereunder shall be under the direction and
supervision of the City Administrator. Associate Counsel shall coordinate its services hereunder
with the City Attorney and Director of Public Works, to the extent required by the City
Administrator, and all performances required hereunder by Associate Counsel shall be
performed to the satisfaction of said City Administrator.
2.0 Time of Performance and Term.
The services of Associate Counsel are to commence upon the signing
hereof ("Effective Date"), and the written assignment of particular matters, provided, the
effectiveness of this Agreement is subject to approval by the City Council or City Administrator
(as appropriate), and shall be undertaken and completed in such sequence as to assure their
2
Page 52
AGENDA ITEM APPROVED
- 05121119, MEA
completion as expeditiously as is consistent with professional skill and care. This Agreement
shall automatically terminate three (3) years from the Effective Date, subject and pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement.
3.0 Budgeting.
Associate Counsel handling specific City matters will be expected to
institute and to adhere to budgeting and planning procedures in the sole discretion of the City.
The general framework of the litigation budgeting and planning procedures is as follows:
3.1 Budget:
3.1.1 Associate Counsel shall, if requested by the City, provide a Plan
and a Budget, or revisions thereof, which will include a projection
of recommended steps to be taken in the assigned matter and a
range of costs for each step. The Plan and Budget will be
reviewed and updated as necessary, at least every twelve
months, or as more frequently requested by the City.
3.1.2 The Budget shall include an estimate of Associate Counsel's
attorney's hours, fees, and disbursements during each phase and
activity.
3.1.3 The Budget should include the anticipated cost of each line item,
the time estimated to complete it, and the identity (name, title,
billing rate) of the primary attorney handling it.
3.1.4 Each line item should be given a code number that can be used in
the billing process and in preparation of updated progress reports.
3.1.5 The Budget is not a fixed fee agreement and is subject to revision.
However, Associate Counsel understands and agrees that failure
to timely submit a Budget or major unjustified deviations therefrom
may constitute a breach and result in termination of this
Agreement with Associate Counsel.
3.2 Plan.
3.2.1 In addition to the Budget, Associate Counsel shall prepare a Plan,
at least every twelve months, or as more frequently requested.
The plan will start as an initial evaluation (before substantial costs
are incurred) and shall include, with a discussion (where
applicable): a) anticipated total costs; b) the primary issues; and
c) tasks toward completion.
3.2.2 The City shall be consulted by Associate Counsel regarding the
component parts of projects/cases handled so that the City can
determine, or secure a determination from the City Council, as
appropriate, tactics, strategy, and whether a particular activity
makes sense from an economic standpoint or can be done more
economically in another fashion.
3
Page 53
AGENDA ITEM APPROVED
- 05121119, MEA
3.2.3 The City is to be consulted regarding staffing of litigation and is to
be advised of any significant shift in staffing.
3.2.4 The City is to be provided with copies of any billing manuals or
directions for billing practices in use by Associate Counsel within
thirty (30) days of signing this Agreement.
4.0 Compensation, Reimbursement and Methods of Payments.
4.1 Compensation.
Associate Counsel has established rates for the City of Vernon which are
comparable to and do not exceed the best rates offered to other governmental entities in and
around Los Angeles County for the same services. Fees for all services provided hereunder by
all billers shall be charged in accordance with Exhibit "B", which is attached hereto and fully
incorporated herein by reference. Associate Counsel's grand total, not -to -exceed compensation
for the three (3) years of this Contract shall not exceed the amount of $60,000 without prior
approval of the City and written amendment of this Contract.
4.2 Reimbursement.
In addition to the compensation provided above, the City will reimburse
Associate Counsel only for the following expenses: printing, copying costs (not to exceed 10
cents a page), transcription fees, reporter's fees and ground transportation (in the amount set
forth by the Internal Revenue Service standard mileage rate). Any other expense (e.g., travel
expenses or travel time beyond Southern California) must be approved by the City in writing and
in advance. No compensation shall be allowed for general overhead or support services such as
typing, word processing, scanning hard -copy documents to .pdf format, secretarial time of any
nature (normal, overflow, or overtime), clerical work, Lexis or Westlaw, equipment rental,
calendaring, setting up files, updating files, computer time or service, nor any other expense not
itemized in the approved Case Budget or otherwise approved by the City. There shall be no
mark-ups on outside services.
4.3 The City must approve in advance any single disbursement item in
excess of $500.00, including, but not limited to, investigators, copying, and experts. Requests
for costs exceeding $500.00 shall contain a recommendation of alternative information services,
including use of City employees. Associate Counsel will use City Staff in lieu of outside experts
whenever feasible.
4.4 The City expects moderation with regard to all expenses.
4.5 Method of Billing.
Unless otherwise agreed, Associate Counsel shall provide monthly bills
unless fees and costs for a particular month are insignificant (i.e., $500 or less), in which case
such charges will be added to the following month's bill. The following information must be
provided in monthly bills:
A. A detailed description of work, in time increments of .1 hour (one tenth of an
hour) for and by each and every individual billing services. Associate
Counsel shall keep the City advised regarding the identity and the billing
M
Page 54
AGENDA ITEM APPROVED
- 05121119, MEA
rates of those people who work on the litigation account.
B. Identification of the lawyer who is in charge of the matter.
C. Detailed disbursement breakdowns, including the nature and purpose of each
disbursement.
D. Each billing item will be separately stated on a separate line identifying the
biller, the time spent, and the exact nature of the service rendered. Narrative
billing and block billing are unacceptable. For example, if numerous tasks are
undertaken in one day, each should be identified with a specified time for
performing that task, i.e. a telephone call, a court appearance, a meeting or
legal research. All tasks performed on the same day should be entered as
separate entries, identifying the time spent on each. Telephone conferences
should specify the participants and the subject matter discussed. The City will
not pay for vague descriptions for services which do not state the precise
nature of the work performed and the need for the work. Words such as
"research", "strategy", "analysis", "discovery", "conference", "preparation",
"case management", "memorandum", "correspondence", "telephone call" or
"meeting", without an explanation of (1) the specific topic or subject matter,
(2) the persons involved, and (3) the need therefor, do not allow for
accountability and are therefore non -reimbursable.
E. The City will not pay for inter -office conferences among attorneys/billers
unless a conference is a necessary strategy meeting relating to some
significant legal issue or event, such as an upcoming trial, and then only one
attorney may be billed. Where charges are made for conferences, the
specific reason and need for each conference must be stated in detail, and
the participants identified.
F. Where charges are made for research time, the specific issue being
researched and the need must be identified. City has retained Associate
Counsel for its expertise, and therefore expects not to be billed for
introductory or background research. The City will not pay for attorneys, law
clerks and paralegals educating themselves or doing work of a transient
nature on the case.
G. The City expects the attorney assigned to the case to handle all significant
matters in the case. If other attorneys are assigned to assist the primary
attorney, the City must be notified. The City may request that the assigned
work be instead handled by the primary attorney. Thus, only those attorneys
or persons approved in advance by the City may bill on the case. Upon City
request, resumes will be provided for all persons (other than clerical or
secretarial) working on the case.
H. No more than two non -attorney support staff may bill on a particular case
without the prior approval of the City.
I. One paralegal may be used. Assignment of work to such paralegal should not
result in duplicative work by the attorneys, or reworking of paralegal's work.
Paralegal shall not perform clerical work, such as filing, indexing, date-
5
Page 55
AGENDA ITEM APPROVED
- 05121119, MEA
stamping, organizing, etc., but shall perform work such as research,
summarizing depositions, investigation, interviews of witnesses, etc.
J. Upon request, each item billed must be coded to a specific budget line item,
so a bill may be easily compared with the approved budget.
K. A tracking system must be set up to periodically, at least every six months, to
compare the amount of work completed to a percentage of the budget
absorbed.
L. The City reserves the right to request various levels of detail and specific
formats (such as columnar comparisons with established budgets).
M. The City will not pay for more than one biller doing any task (e.g. two or more
attorneys attending the same depositions or the same court appearances, a
biller redoing the work of another biller, or duplicative entries for reviewing
and analyzing documentation and legal research).
N. Charges for time spent complying with billing inquiries and/or City audits are
non -reimbursable.
O. Photocopies of deposition transcripts shall be made whenever possible to
reduce deposition expenses.
P. No finance charge or interest will be paid by the City, nor billed by Associate
Counsel.
4.6 Timing of Payment.
The City shall pay Associate Counsel for services rendered and costs
incurred hereunder, at the rates and in the amounts provided hereunder, on a monthly basis.
5.0 Engagement of Other Counsel, Specialists or Experts.
Associate Counsel shall not engage or otherwise incur an obligation to
pay other counsel, specialists or experts for services in connection with this Agreement without
the prior written approval of the City.
6.0 Termination of Agreement and Legal Services.
Subject to the applicable provisions of the Rules of Professional Conduct
of the State Bar of California, this Agreement and all legal services to be rendered hereunder
may be terminated at any time by written notice from either party with or without cause. In such
event, all finished or unfinished documents, project data and reports, both originals and all
duplicate copies, in all forms and media requested by the City, shall immediately be turned over
to the possession of City, which owns all such materials. In the event of such termination,
Associate Counsel shall be paid for all satisfactory work, unless such termination is made for
cause, in which event compensation, if any, shall be adjusted, in the City's sole discretion, in
light of the particular facts and circumstances involved in such termination.

AGENDA ITEM APPROVED
- 05121119, MEA
7.0 Interest of Members of Local Public
No member of the governing body of the City, and no other officer,
employee or agent of the City who exercises any discretion, function or responsibility in
connection with the carrying out of any project to which this Agreement pertains, shall have any
personal interest, direct or indirect, in this Agreement.
8.0 Interest of Counsel.
Associate Counsel agrees to secure the informed written consent of the
City before accepting any representation adverse to the City (actual or apparent) during the
term of this Agreement, and to forego such representation if the City, in its sole discretion,
objects for any reason.
9.0 General Procedures.
9.1 Copies of major documents, correspondence and periodic status
reports shall be submitted to keep the City advised of any major
developments in the matter. Once the Plan is approved, Associate
Counsel need not advise the City of each and every step being
taken. As long as Associate Counsel is complying with the Plan, it
should provide periodic reviews and information on significant
matters. The City does not, however, want boilerplate routine
letters announcing each and every procedural step being taken.
10.0 Policy for Investigation and Discovery Assistance.
A copy of the City Attorney's Policy for Investigation and Discovery
Assistance is attached hereto as Exhibit "C" which is attached hereto and fully incorporated
herein by reference.
11.0 Conflict of Interest.
Associate Counsel certifies that no member, officer or employee of the
Associate Counsel is an officer or employee of the City of Vernon except to the extent permitted
by law.
Associate Counsel agrees to secure the informed written consent of the
City before accepting any representation adverse to the City (actual or apparent) during the
term of this Agreement, and to forego such representation if the City, in its sole discretion,
objects for any reason.
12.0 Maintenance and Inspection of Records.
12.1 The City and any other Federal, State or local governmental
agency, and any of their authorized auditors or representatives,
shall have access to, and the right to audit and reproduce any of
Associate Counsel's records to the extent the City or such other
governmental agency deems necessary to ensure that City is
paying only the amounts to which Associate Counsel is properly
entitled or for other purposes relating to the Agreement.
7
Page 57

for at least three (3) years after termination of the Agreement or
until an audit has been completed and accepted in writing by City.
Upon written notice by the City, the Associate Counsel shall
promptly make all such records available to auditors or other
representatives of the City or other governmental agencies.
12.3 If Associate Counsel does not maintain such records in the City of
Vernon, Associate Counsel shall either deliver said records at its
expense to Vernon or shall promptly reimburse City for all
reasonable costs incurred in conducting the audit at a location
other than the City of Vernon, including, but not limited to,
expenses for personnel, salaries, private auditors, lodging, meals,
and overhead.
13.0 Indemnity.
Associate Counsel agrees to indemnify City, its officers, elected officials,
employees and agents against, and will hold and save each of them harmless from, any and all
actions, suits, claims, damages to persons or property, losses, costs, penalties, obligations,
errors, omissions or liabilities (herein "claims or liabilities"), including but not limited to
professional negligence, that may be asserted or claimed by any person, firm or entity arising
out of or in connection with the work, operations or activities of Associate Counsel, its agents,
employees, subcontractors, or invitees, provided for herein, or arising from the acts or
omissions of Associate Counsel hereunder, or arising from Associate Counsel's performance of
or failure to perform any term, provision, covenant or condition of this Agreement, except to the
extent such claims or liabilities arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of City, its
officers, elected officials, agents or employees.
14.0 INSURANCE.
Associate Counsel shall, at its own expense, procure and maintain
policies of insurance of the types and in the amounts set forth below, for the duration of the

transaction with Associate Counsel.
22.0 Modification.

signed by all parties to this Agreement, and, where applicable, if it is approved by City Council.
23.0 Severability/Partiallnvalidity.
If any term or provision of this Agreement, or the application of any term
or provision of this Agreement to a particular situation, shall be finally found to be void, invalid,
illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then notwithstanding such
determination, such term or provision shall remain in force and effect to the extent allowed by
such ruling and all other terms and provisions of this Agreement or the application of this
Agreement to other situations shall remain in full force and effect. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if any material term or provision of this Agreement or the application of such material
term or condition to a particular situation is finally found to be void, invalid, illegal, or
unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then the parties hereto agree to work in good
faith and fully cooperate with each other to amend this Agreement to carry out its intent.
24.0 Time of the Essence.
Time is of the essence in the performance of this Agreement.

Agenda Item No. COV-226-2019
Submitted by: Eva Muro
Submitting Department: City Attorney
Meeting Date: May 21, 2019
SUBJECT
Approval of an Attorney Services Agreement (Transactional) between the City of Vernon and Best Best & Krieger
LLP to Provide Specialized Outside Legal Services
Recommendation:
A. Find that approval of the proposed Attorney Services Agreement (Transactional) with Best Best & Krieger LLP is
exempt from California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA') review, because it is a continuing administrative and fiscal
activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment, and therefore does not constitute a
`project" as defined by CEQA Guidelines section 15378; and
B. Approve an Attorney Services Agreement (Transactional) between the City of Vernon and Best Best & Krieger
LLP, in substantially the same form as submitted herewith, for an amount not to exceed $75,000.00; and
C. Authorize the City Administrator to execute the Attorney Services Agreement (Transactional) between the City of
Vernon and Best Best & Krieger LLP for a three year term with an effective date of May 20, 2019.
Background:
The City Attorney's Office functions as the legal advisor and legal counsel of record for the City Council, City boards
and commissions, City staff and represents the City in litigation, whether directly or with special counsel The City
Attorney's Office is currently staffed with three attorneys, and has greatly reduced the City's reliance on outside
counsel, bringing the vast majority of the City's legal services in-house and significantly reducing expenditures on outside
attorneys. There are still occasions when special counsel is needed, such as legal matters requiring specialized expertise
or litigation requiring additional staffing and support.
Accordingly, the City Attorney's Office engages special counsel to assist from time to time and as -needed for specific
matters (ie., not via a monthly retainer). The advice or representation provided by special counsel is for an "on call"
basis, and could be in the form of a request for expert analysis on a specific problem, or to represent the City in a
lawsuit.
Pursuant to the City's good governance reform contract terms and procedures, all professional services contracts must
be subject to a new competitive selection process every three years, unless commercially unreasonable to do so. The
prior competitive selection process for legal services was done in 2016, and therefore needed to be rebid.
Selection Process: On or about February 13, 2019, the City Attorney's office issued a Request for Proposals for
Specialized Outside Legal Services. The Request was posted on the City's website and advertised in the Daily Journal
(a print and online legal trade publication). Responses to the Request for Proposals were due on or before March 18,
2019.
Page 68
AGENDA ITEM APPROVED
- 05121119, MEA
In total, the City Attorney's office received proposals from 16 firms throughout the state, many of whom were
well qualified in the subject practice areas. The proposals were subject to a review process by the City Attorney's
office and two other City department heads (hereinafter the "selection panel"), and individual scores were applied using
the weighted evaluation criteria set forth in the Request for Proposals. Individual scores were assigned by members of
the selection panel, and the top rated firms in various practice areas were identified for fiu ther consideration.
After the selection panel's scores were averaged, the following were ranked as the top three full service firms:
1. Rutan & Tucker LLP
2. Burke Williams & Sorensen LLP
3. Best Best & Krieger LLP
Best Best & Krieger LLP (BB&K) was selected after this comprehensive competitive selection process in accordance
with City procedures and good governance contracting principles.
After several years of using BB&K's services on key municipal advisory and personnel investigatory matters under the
current agreement, the City Attorney's Office remains highly satisfied with the firm's representation. In addition to their
legal expertise, the BBK attorneys assigned to assist on City matters have also gained valuable institutional knowledge
of City issues and precedent.
Accordingly, staff is requesting authority to enter into an Attorney Services Agreement with BB&K for a three-year
term, with total consideration not to exceed $75,000.
BB&K's proposed hourly billing rates for advisory/transactional services are $325 (partners) and $260 (associates). In
accordance with the City's good governance contract terms and procedures, these rates are similar to or more
favorable than the rates charged to other governmental entities.
Fiscal Impact:
The maximum fiscal impact to the City under the proposed contract term is $75,000.00. This amount has been included
in the budget for the City Attorney's Office for fiscal years 2018-2019 and 2019-2020.

LEGAL SERVICES
This Agreement is entered into by and between the City of Vernon ("City"), a California
charter City and California municipal corporation ("City"), and Best Best & Krieger LLP, a limited
liability partnership ("Associate Counsel"). City and Associate Counsel are collectively referred
to herein as the "Parties."
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the City, acting through its City Attorney, desires to engage Associate
Counsel, in association with the City Attorney, to assist the City Attorney in connection with
various transactional/advisory matters, and to provide advice and assistance in other legal
matters from time to time; and
WHEREAS, the City Attorney of the City of Vernon, herein referred to as "City Attorney,"
is the Chief Legal Advisor for the City and is charged with the responsibility of protecting the
interests of the City, its Council, officers, employees and agents, as provided for by California
law and the Charter and ordinances of the City.
W ITNESSETH:
NOW, THEREFORE, the Parties agree as follows:
1.0 Scope of Services.
Associate Counsel hereby is associated as Counsel of Record in association with
the City Attorney to perform such legal services as may be required from time to time in
connection with specific transactional matters and other legal matters as specified in the
Request for Proposals issued on or about February 13, 2019, a copy which is attached hereto
as Exhibit "A". Arlene Prater, a principal member of the firm of Associate Counsel, shall be
responsible for the performance of services hereunder, shall personally handle all significant
matters, and shall supervise any services performed by other members of Associate Counsel's
firm and by its employees. It is understood that the City Attorney is chief counsel of record for
all purposes, and Associate Counsel's performance hereunder shall be under the direction and
supervision of the City Attorney, that Associate Counsel shall coordinate its services hereunder
with the City Attorney to the extent required by said City Attorney, and that all performances
required hereunder by Associate Counsel shall be performed to the satisfaction of said City
Attorney.
Associate Counsel shall report to and receive direction from the City Attorney
only, and not from any other Department Head or City staff.
2.0 Time of Performance and Term.
The services of Associate Counsel are to commence upon the signing
hereof ("Effective Date"), and the written assignment of particular matters, provided, the
effectiveness of this Agreement is subject to approval by the City Council or City Administrator
(as appropriate), and shall be undertaken and completed in such sequence as to assure their
completion as expeditiously as is consistent with professional skill and care. This Agreement
Page 71
AGENDA ITEM APPROVED
- 05121119, MEA
shall automatically terminate three (3) years from the Effective Date, subject and pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement.
3.0 Budgeting.
Associate Counsel handling specific City matters will be expected to
institute and to adhere to budgeting and planning procedures in the sole discretion of the City
Attorney. The general framework of the litigation budgeting and planning procedures is as
follows:
3.1 Budget:
3.1.1 Associate Counsel shall, if requested by the City Attorney, provide
a Plan and a Budget, or revisions thereof, which will include a
projection of recommended steps to be taken in the assigned
matter and a range of costs for each step. The Plan and Budget
will be reviewed and updated as necessary, at least every twelve
months, or as more frequently requested by the City Attorney.
3.1.2 The Budget shall include an estimate of Associate Counsel's
attorney's hours, fees, and disbursements during each phase and
activity.
3.1.3 The Budget should include the anticipated cost of each line item,
the time estimated to complete it, and the identity (name, title,
billing rate) of the primary attorney handling it.
3.1.4 Each line item should be given a code number that can be used in
the billing process and in preparation of updated progress reports.
3.1.5 The Budget is not a fixed fee agreement and is subject to revision.
However, Associate Counsel understands and agrees that failure
to timely submit a Budget or major unjustified deviations therefrom
may constitute a breach and result in termination of this
Agreement with Associate Counsel.
3.2 Plan.
3.2.1 In addition to the Budget, Associate Counsel shall prepare a Plan,
at least every twelve months, or as more frequently requested.
The plan will start as an initial evaluation (before substantial costs
are incurred) and shall include, with a discussion (where
applicable): a) anticipated total costs; b) the primary issues; and
c) tasks toward completion.
3.2.2 The City Attorney shall be consulted by Associate Counsel
regarding the component parts of projects/cases handled so that
the City Attorney can determine, or secure a determination from
the City Council, as appropriate, tactics, strategy, and whether a
Page 72
AGENDA ITEM APPROVED
- 05121119, MEA
particular activity makes sense from an economic standpoint or
can be done more economically in another fashion.
3.2.3 The City Attorney is to be consulted regarding staffing of litigation
and is to be advised of any significant shift in staffing.
3.2.4 The City Attorney is to be provided with copies of any billing
manuals or directions for billing practices in use by Associate
Counsel within thirty (30) days of signing this Agreement.
4.0 Compensation, Reimbursement and Methods of Payments.
4.1 Compensation.
Associate Counsel has established rates for the City of Vernon which are
comparable to and do not exceed the best rates offered to other governmental entities in and
around Los Angeles County for the same services. Fees for all services provided hereunder by
all billers shall be charged in accordance with Exhibit "B", which is attached hereto and fully
incorporated herein by reference. Associate Counsel's grand total, not -to -exceed compensation
for the three (3) years of this Contract shall not exceed the amount of $75,000.00, without prior
approval of the City and written amendment of this Contract.
4.2 Reimbursement.
In addition to the compensation provided above, the City will reimburse
Associate Counsel only for the following expenses: printing, copying costs (not to exceed 10
cents a page), transcription fees, reporter's fees and ground transportation (in the amount set
forth by the Internal Revenue Service standard mileage rate). Any other expense (e.g., travel
expenses or travel time beyond Southern California) must be approved by the City Attorney in
writing and in advance. No compensation shall be allowed for general overhead or support
services such as typing, word processing, scanning hard -copy documents to .pdf format,
secretarial time of any nature (normal, overflow, or overtime), clerical work, Lexis or Westlaw,
equipment rental, calendaring, setting up files, updating files, computer time or service, nor any
other expense not itemized in the approved Case Budget or otherwise approved by the City
Attorney. There shall be no mark-ups on outside services.
4.3 The City Attorney must approve in advance any single disbursement item
in excess of $500.00, including, but not limited to, investigators, copying, and experts.
Requests for costs exceeding $500.00 shall contain a recommendation of alternative
information services, including use of City employees. Associate Counsel will use City Staff in
lieu of outside experts whenever feasible.
4.4 The City expects moderation with regard to all expenses.
4.5 Method of Billing.
Unless otherwise agreed, Associate Counsel shall provide monthly bills
unless fees and costs for a particular month are insignificant (i.e., $500 or less), in which case
such charges will be added to the following month's bill. The following information must be
provided in monthly bills:
Page 73
AGENDA ITEM APPROVED
- 05121119, MEA
A. A detailed description of work, in time increments of .1 hour (one tenth of an
hour) for and by each and every individual billing services. Associate
Counsel shall keep the City advised regarding the identity and the billing
rates of those people who work on the litigation account.
B. Identification of the lawyer who is in charge of the matter.
C. Detailed disbursement breakdowns, including the nature and purpose of each
disbursement.
D. Each billing item will be separately stated on a separate line identifying the
biller, the time spent, and the exact nature of the service rendered. Narrative
billing and block billing are unacceptable. For example, if numerous tasks are
undertaken in one day, each should be identified with a specified time for
performing that task, i.e. a telephone call, a court appearance, a meeting or
legal research. All tasks performed on the same day should be entered as
separate entries, identifying the time spent on each. Telephone conferences
should specify the participants and the subject matter discussed. The City will
not pay for vague descriptions for services which do not state the precise
nature of the work performed and the need for the work. Words such as
"research", "strategy", "analysis", "discovery", "conference", "preparation",
"case management", "memorandum", "correspondence", "telephone call" or
"meeting", without an explanation of (1) the specific topic or subject matter,
(2) the persons involved, and (3) the need therefor, do not allow for
accountability and are therefore non -reimbursable.
E. The City will not pay for inter -office conferences among attorneyslbillers
unless a conference is a necessary strategy meeting relating to some
significant legal issue or event, such as an upcoming trial, and then only one
attorney may be billed. Where charges are made for conferences, the
specific reason and need for each conference must be stated in detail, and
the participants identified.
F. Where charges are made for research time, the specific issue being
researched and the need must be identified. City has retained Associate
Counsel for its expertise, and therefore expects not to be billed for
introductory or background research. The City will not pay for attorneys, law
clerks and paralegals educating themselves or doing work of a transient
nature on the case.
G. The City expects the attorney assigned to the case to handle all significant
matters in the case. If other attorneys are assigned to assist the primary
attorney, the City must be notified. The City may request that the assigned
work be instead handled by the primary attorney. Thus, only those attorneys
or persons approved in advance by the City may bill on the case. Upon City
request, resumes will be provided for all persons (other than clerical or
secretarial) working on the case.
H. No more than two non -attorney support staff may bill on a particular case
without the prior approval of the City.
Page 74
AGENDA ITEM APPROVED
- 05121119, MEA
I. One paralegal may be used. Assignment of work to such paralegal should not
result in duplicative work by the attorneys, or reworking of paralegal's work.
Paralegal shall not perform clerical work, such as filing, indexing, date -
stamping, organizing, etc., but shall perform work such as research,
summarizing depositions, investigation, interviews of witnesses, etc.
J. Upon request, each item billed must be coded to a specific budget line item,
so a bill may be easily compared with the approved budget.
K. A tracking system must be set up to periodically, at least every six months, to
compare the amount of work completed to a percentage of the budget
absorbed.
L. The City Attorney reserves the right to request various levels of detail and
specific formats (such as columnar comparisons with established budgets).
M. The City will not pay for more than one biller doing any task (e.g. two or more
attorneys attending the same depositions or the same court appearances, a
biller redoing the work of another biller, or duplicative entries for reviewing
and analyzing documentation and legal research).
N. Charges for time spent complying with billing inquiries and/or City audits are
non -reimbursable.
O. Photocopies of deposition transcripts shall be made whenever possible to
reduce deposition expenses.
P. No finance charge or interest will be paid by the City, nor billed by Associate
Counsel.
4.6 Timing of f Payment.
The City shall pay Associate Counsel for services rendered and costs
incurred hereunder, at the rates and in the amounts provided hereunder, on a monthly basis.
5.0 En a ement of Other Counsel Specialists or Experts.
Associate Counsel shall not engage or otherwise incur an obligation to
pay other counsel, specialists or experts for services in connection with this Agreement without
the prior written approval of the City Attorney.
6.0 Termination of Agreement and Legal Services.
Subject to the applicable provisions of the Rules of Professional Conduct
of the State Bar of California, this Agreement and all legal services to be rendered hereunder
may be terminated at any time by written notice from either party with or without cause. In such
event, all finished or unfinished documents, project data and reports, both originals and all
duplicate copies, in all forms and media requested by the City, shall immediately be turned over
to the possession of City, which owns all such materials. In the event of such termination,
Associate Counsel shall be paid for all satisfactory work, unless such termination is made for
Page 75
AGENDA ITEM APPROVED
- 05121119, MEA
cause, in which event compensation, if any, shall be adjusted, in the City's sole discretion, in
light of the particular facts and circumstances involved in such termination.
7.0 Interest of Members of Local Public Agencx.
No member of the governing body of the City, and no other officer,
employee or agent of the City who exercises any discretion, function or responsibility in
connection with the carrying out of any project to which this Agreement pertains, shall have any
personal interest, direct or indirect, in this Agreement.
8.0 Interest of Counsel.
Associate Counsel agrees to secure the informed written consent of the
City Attorney before accepting any representation adverse to the City (actual or apparent)
during the term of this Agreement, and to forego such representation if the City Attorney, in his
sole discretion, objects for any reason.
9.0 General Procedures.
9.1 Copies of major documents, correspondence and periodic status
reports shall be submitted to keep the City Attorney advised of any
major developments in the matter. Once the Plan is approved,
Associate Counsel need not advise the City of each and every
step being taken. As long as Associate Counsel is complying with
the Plan, it should provide periodic reviews and information on
significant matters. The City does not, however, want boilerplate
routine letters announcing each and every procedural step being
taken.
10.0 Policy for Investigation and Discovery Assistance.
A copy of the City Attorney's Policy for Investigation and Discovery
Assistance is attached hereto as Exhibit "C" which is attached hereto and fully incorporated
herein by reference.
11.0 Conflict of Interest.
Associate Counsel certifies that no member, officer or employee of the
Associate Counsel is an officer or employee of the City of Vernon except to the extent permitted
by law.
Associate Counsel agrees to secure the informed written consent of the
City Attorney before accepting any representation adverse to the City (actual or apparent)
during the term of this Agreement, and to forego such representation if the City Attorney, in
his/her sole discretion, objects for any reason.
12.0 Maintenance and Inspection of Records.
12.1 The City and any other Federal, State or local governmental
agency, and any of their authorized auditors or representatives,
Page 76
AGENDA ITEM APPROVED
- 05121119, MEA
shall have access to, and the right to audit and reproduce any of
Associate Counsel's records to the extent the City or such other
governmental agency deems necessary to ensure that City is
paying only the amounts to which Associate Counsel is properly
entitled or for other purposes relating to the Agreement.
12.2 Associate Counsel shall maintain and preserve all such records
for at least three (3) years after termination of the Agreement or
until an audit has been completed and accepted in writing by City.
Upon written notice by the City, the Associate Counsel shall
promptly make all such records available to auditors or other
representatives of the City or other governmental agencies.
12.3 If Associate Counsel does not maintain such records in the City of
Vernon, Associate Counsel shall either deliver said records at its
expense to Vernon or shall promptly reimburse City for all
reasonable costs incurred in conducting the audit at a location
other than the City of Vernon, including, but not limited to,
expenses for personnel, salaries, private auditors, lodging, meals,
and overhead.
13.0 Indemnity.
Associate Counsel agrees to indemnify City, its officers, elected officials,
employees and agents against, and will hold and save each of them harmless from, any and all
actions, suits, claims, damages to persons or property, losses, costs, penalties, obligations,
errors, omissions or liabilities (herein "claims or liabilities"), including but not limited to
professional negligence, that may be asserted or claimed by any person, firm or entity arising
out of or in connection with the work, operations or activities of Associate Counsel, its agents,
employees, subcontractors, or invitees, provided for herein, or arising from the acts or
omissions of Associate Counsel hereunder, or arising from Associate Counsel's performance of
or failure to perform any term, provision, covenant or condition of this Agreement, except to the
extent such claims or liabilities arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of City, its
officers, elected officials, agents or employees.
14.0 INSURANCE.

policies of insurance of the types and in the amounts set forth below, for the duration of the

illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then notwithstanding such
determination, such term or provision shall remain in force and effect to the extent allowed by
such ruling and all other terms and provisions of this Agreement or the application of this
Agreement to other situations shall remain in full force and effect. Notwithstanding the

City of Vernon Specialized Outside Legal Services Request for Proposals
1. INTRODUCTION AND PROJECT
Pursuant to Vernon Municipal Code Section 2.17.30(B), City contracts for professional
services must be rebid every three years. The City of Vernon is requesting proposals from
law firms interested in assisting the City Attorney's Office with various specialized litigation,
transactional, and/or advisory matters on an "on call" basis for specific Service Areas listed
below.
The City will select one or more firms as Associate Counsel in the Service Areas, based on
demonstrated competence and a cost effective approach to advising the City on such legal
matters.
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
2001 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 -
Vernon has a uniquely small residential population, with approximately 275 residents.
Despite the low residential housing numbers, Vernon is home to more than 1,800 business
that employ approximately 50,000 people, serving as a vital economic engine in the region.
Vernon maintains strong philanthropic ties with the neighboring communities where much
of its workforce lives, providing significant financial support for public services and
education.
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
Tern 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_
Recognized bargaining units 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.

Council, City boards and commissions, City Administrator and City departments, and
represents the City in litigation, whether directly or through outside counsel.
The City Attorney's Office is currently staffed with three attorneys (City Attomey and two
Senior Deputy City Attorneys). Over recent years, the Office has significantly and
successfully reduced the City's reliance on outside counsel, and brought the vast majority
of the City's legal services in-house. There are, however, occasions when associate
counsel is needed, such as matters requiring specialized expertise or additional staffing.
As such, the City Attorney's Office desires to engage Associate Counsel to assist in
various litigation, transactional, and/or advisory matters from time to time.
4. SCOPE OF SERVICES REQUIRED

representation in the Service Areas identified below. The advice or representation would

expertise in one or more of the following Service Areas.
If it best serves the interests of the City, a contract may be awarded to one or more law
firms for different Service Areas, although the City is open to retaining a single, all-purpose
firm. Firms are encouraged to propose services only for those areas in which they
are truly expert:

law, including the Brown Act, public housing and land use, competitive

have familiarity with CalPERS regulations.

completion as expeditiously as is consistent with professional skill and care. This Agreement
shall automatically terminate three (3) years from the Effective Date, subject and pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement.
3.0 Litigation Budgeting.
Associate Counsel handling City matters will be expected to institute and to
adhere to litigation budgeting and planning procedures in the sole discretion of the City
Attorney. The general framework of the litigation budgeting and planning procedures is as
follows:
3.1 Case Budget:
3.1.1 Associate Counsel shall, if requested by the City Attorney,
provide a Litigation Plan and a Case Budget, or revisions
thereof, which will include a projection of recommended
steps to be taken in the litigation and a range of costs for
each step. The Plan and Budget will be reviewed and
updated as necessary, at least every twelve months, or as
more frequently requested by the City Attorney.
3.1.2 The Case Budget shall include an estimate of Associate
Counsel's attorneys' hours, fees and disbursements during
each phase and activity, including: 1) pre -commencement
(legal and factual research for the complaint or answer); 2)
pleadings; 3) motions (including research); 4) initial
discovery; 5) factual investigation of merits (interviewing
clients, employees and third parties); 6) review and
analyze City's documents; 7) expert (non -medical)
investigation and reports; 8) medical experts and
examinations; 9) legal research on merits; 10) more
thorough discovery (including the identity of deponents and
expected costs of each deposition and preparation); 11)
post -discovery pre-trial dispositive motions; 12) settlement
evaluation and negotiations; 13) trial preparation; and 14)
trial. All anticipated expenses must be listed and costs
estimated.
3.1.3 The Case Budget should include the anticipated cost of
each line item, the time estimated to complete it and the
identity (name, title, billing rate) of the primary attomey
handling it.
Page 97
AGENDA ITEM APPROVED
- 05121119, MEA
3.1.4 Each line item should be given a code number that can be
used in the billing process and in preparation of updated
progress reports.
3.1.5 The Case Budget is not a fixed fee agreement and is
subject to revision. However, Associate Counsel
understands and agrees that failure to timely submit a
Case Budget or major unjustified deviations therefrom may
constitute a breach and result in termination of this
Agreement with Associate Counsel.
3.2 Litigation Plan.
3.2.1 In addition to the Case Budget, Associate Counsel shall
prepare a Litigation Plan, on forms as may be required by the City, at least every twelve months
or as more frequently requested. The Litigation Plan will start as an initial evaluation (before
substantial costs are incurred) and shall include, with a discussion (where applicable): a)
anticipated total costs; b) the primary issues and likely resolution; c) the probability of success -
either on the merits or on procedural grounds; d) a strategy for defenseloffenselresolution,
including a settlement/trial recommendation based on a cost -benefit analysis; e) damages
claimed; f) evidence (i.e., witness, documentary or demonstrative) relevant to liability or
damages; g) recent developments such as law and motion rulings, judicial opinions in other
cases, and legislative/executive action; h) deposition summaries, if appropriate and cost
effective; and 0 settlement demands. The Litigation Plan will be modified during the litigation as
the need arises. The City Attorney shall be consulted by Associate Counsel regarding the
component parts of projects/cases handled so that the City Attorney can determine, or secure a
determination from the City Council, as appropriate, tactics, strategy and whether a particular
activity makes sense from an economic standpoint or can be done more economically in
another fashion.
3.2.2 The City Attorney is to be consulted regarding staffing of
litigation and is to be advised of any significant shift in staffing.
3.2.3 The City Attorney is to be provided with copies of any
billing manuals or directions for billing practices in use by Associate Counsel within thirty (30)
days of signing this Agreement.
3.2.4 It is the policy of the City of Vernon to avoid a 'deep
pockets' reputation by taking a 'hard-nosed' approach to settlements, and by not giving
nuisance settlements. Settlement will generally be considered only where there is some liability
exposure. If there is no liability exposure, trial is generally the only option.
4.0 Compensation, Reimbursement and Methods of Payments.
4.1 Compensation.
Associate Counsel has established rates for the City of Vemon which are
comparable to and do not exceed the best rates offered to other governmental entities in and
around Los Angeles County for the same services. Fees for all services provided hereunder by
all billers shall be charged in accordance with Exhibit "B', which is attached hereto and fully
incorporated herein by reference. The grand total compensation under this Agreement shall not
Page 98
AGENDA ITEM APPROVED
- 05121119, MEA
exceed the amount of $[insert amount], without prior approval of the City Council and written
amendment of this Agreement.
4.2 Reimbursement.
In addition to the compensation provided above, the City will reimburse
Associate Counsel only for the following expenses: printing, copying costs (not to exceed 10
cents a page), transcription fees, reporter's fees and ground transportation (in the amount set
forth by the Internal Revenue Service standard mileage rate). Any other expense (e.g., travel
expenses or travel time beyond Southern California) must be approved by the City Attorney in
writing and in advance. No compensation shall be allowed for general overhead or support
services such as typing, word processing, scanning hard -copy documents to .pdf format,
secretarial time of any nature (normal, overflow or overtime), clerical work, Lexis or Westlaw,
equipment rental, calendaring, setting up files, updating files, computer time or service, nor any
other expense not itemized in the approved Case Budget or otherwise approved by the City
Attorney. There shall be no mark-ups on outside services.
4.3 The City Attorney must approve in advance any single
disbursement item in excess of $500.00, including, but not limited to, investigators, copying and
experts. Requests for costs exceeding $500.00 shall contain a recommendation of alternative
information services, including use of City employees. Associate Counsel will use City Staff in
lieu of outside experts whenever feasible.
4.4 The City expects moderation with regard to all expenses.
4.5 Method of Billing.
Unless otherwise agreed, Associate Counsel shall provide monthly bills
unless fees and costs for a particular month are insignificant (i.e., $500 or less), in which case
such charges will be added to the following month's bill. The following information must be
provided in monthly bills:
A. A detailed description of work, in time increments of .1 hour (one tenth of an
hour) for and by each and every individual billing services. Associate
Counsel shalt keep the City advised regarding the identity and the billing
rates of those people who work on the litigation account.
B. Identification of the lawyer who is in charge of the matter.
C. Detailed disbursement breakdowns, including the nature and purpose of each
disbursement.
D. Each billing item will be separately stated on a separate line identifying the
biller, the time spent and the exact nature of the service rendered. Narrative
billing and block billing are unacceptable. For example, if numerous tasks
are undertaken in one day, each should be identified with a specified time for
performing that task, i.e. a telephone call, a court appearance, a meeting or
legal research. All tasks performed on the same day should be entered as
separate entries, identifying the time spent on each. Telephone conferences
should specify the participants and the subject matter discussed. The City
will not pay for vague descriptions for services which do not state the precise
Page 99
AGENDA ITEM APPROVED
- 05121119, MEA
nature of the work performed and the need for the work. Words such as
'research', 'strategy', 'analysis', 'discovery', "conference", 'preparation",
"case management', "memorandum', 'correspondence", 'telephone call" or
"meeting," without an explanation of (1) the specific topic or subject matter,
(2) the persons involved, and (3) the need therefor, do not allow for
accountability and are therefore non -reimbursable.
E The City will not pay for inter -office conferences among attorneys/billers
unless a conference is a necessary strategy meeting relating to some
significant legal issue or event, such as an upcoming trial, and then only one
attorney may be billed. Where charges are made for conferences, the
specific reason and need for each conference must be stated in detail, and
the participants identified.
F. Where charges are made for research time, the specific issue being
researched and the need must be identified. City has retained Associate
Counsel for its expertise, and therefore expects not to be billed for
introductory or background research. The City will not pay for attorneys, law
clerks and paralegals educating themselves or doing work of a transient
nature on the case.
G The City expects the attorney assigned to the case to handle all significant
matters in the litigation. If other attorneys are assigned to assist the primary
attorney, the City must be notified. The City may request that the assigned
work be instead handled by the primary attorney. Thus, only those attorneys
or persons approved in advance by the City may bill on the case. Upon City
request, resumes will be provided for all persons (other than clerical or
secretarial) working on the case.
H No more than two non -attorney support staff may bill on a particular case
without the prior approval of the City.
I. One paralegal may be used. Assignment of work to such paralegal should
not result in duplicative work by the attorneys or reworking of paralegal's
work. Paralegal shall not perform clerical work, such as filing, indexing, date -
stamping, organizing, etc., but shall perform work such as research,
summarizing depositions, investigation, interviews of witnesses, etc.
J. Upon request, each item billed must be coded to a specific Case Budget line
item, so a bill may be easily compared with the approved Case Budget.
K A tracking system must be set up to periodically, at least every six months,
compare the amount of work completed to a percentage of the Case Budget
absorbed.
L. The City Attorney reserves the right to request various levels of detail and
specific formats (such as columnar comparisons with established budgets).
M. The City will not pay for more than one biller doing any task (e.g. two or more
attorneys attending the same depositions or the same court appearances, a
Page 100
AGENDA ITEM APPROVED
- 05121119, MEA
biller redoing the work of another biller, or duplicative entries for reviewing
and analyzing documentation and legal research).
N. Charges for time spent complying with billing inquiries and/or City audits are
non -reimbursable.
O. Photocopies of deposition transcripts shall be made whenever possible to
reduce deposition expenses.
P. No finance charge or interest will be paid by the City, nor billed by Associate
Counsel.
4.6 Timing of Payment.
The City shall pay Associate Counsel for services rendered and
costs incurred hereunder, at the rates and in the amounts provided hereunder, on a monthly
basis.
5.0 En a ement of Other Counsel Specialists or Expert .
Associate Counsel shall not engage or otherwise incur an obligation to
pay other counsel, specialists or experts for services in connection with this Agreement without
the prior written approval of the City Attorney.
6.0 Termination of Agreement and Legal Services.
Subject to the applicable provisions of the Rules of Professional Conduct
of the State Bar of California, this Agreement and all legal services to be rendered hereunder
may be terminated at any time by written notice from either party with or without cause. In such
event, all finished or unfinished documents, project data and reports, both originals and all
duplicate copies, in all forms and media requested by the City, shall immediately be turned over
to the possession of City, which owns all such materials. In the event of such termination,
Associate Counsel shall be paid for all satisfactory work, unless such termination is made for
cause, in which event compensation, 4 any, shall be adjusted, in the City's sole discretion, in
light of the particular facts and circumstances involved in such termination.
7.0 Interest of Members of Local Public Agency.
No member of the governing body of the City, and no other officer,
employee or agent of the City who exercises any discretion, function or responsibility in
connection with the carrying out of any project to which this Agreement pertains, shall have any
personal interest, direct or indirect, in this Agreement.
8.0 General Procedures.
8.1 Copies of major pleadings, reports on significant developments
and quarterly status reports shall be submitted to keep the City Attorney advised of any major
developments in the lawsuit. Once the Litigation Plan is approved, Associate Counsel need not
advise the City of each and every step being taken. As long as Associate Counsel is complying

4.4 The City expects moderation with regard to all expenses.
4.5 Method of Billing.
Unless otherwise agreed, Associate Counsel shall provide monthly bills
unless fees and costs for a particular month are insignificant (i.e., $500 or less), in which case
such charges will be added to the following month's bill. The following information must be
provided in monthly bills:
A. A detailed description of work, in time increments of .1 hour (one tenth of an
hour) for and by each and every individual billing services. Associate
Counsel shall keep the City advised regarding the identity and the billing
rates of those people who work on the litigation account.
B. Identification of the lawyer who is in charge of the matter.
C_ Detailed disbursement breakdowns, including the nature and purpose of each
disbursement.
D. Each billing item will be separately stated on a separate line identifying the
biller, the time spent, and the exact nature of the service rendered. Narrative
billing and block billing are unacceptable. For example, if numerous tasks are
undertaken in one day, each should be identified with a specified time for
performing that task, i.e. a telephone call, a court appearance, a meeting or
legal research. All tasks performed on the same day should be entered as
separate entries, identifying the time spent on each. Telephone conferences
should specify the participants and the subject matter discussed. The City will
not pay for vague descriptions for services which do not state the precise
nature of the work performed and the need for the work. Words such as
`research', "strategy', 'analysis', 'discovery", 'conference", 'preparation`,
'case management", 'memorandum', 'correspondence", `telephone call" or
'meeting', without an explanation of (1) the specific topic or subject matter,
(2) the persons involved, and (3) the need therefor, do not allow for
accountability and are therefore non -reimbursable.
E. The City will not pay for inter -office conferences among attorneys/billers
unless a conference is a necessary strategy meeting relating to some
significant legal issue or event, such as an upcoming trial, and then only one
attorney may be billed. Where charges are made for conferences, the
specific reason and need for each conference must be stated in detail, and
the participants identified.
F. Where charges are made for research time, the specific issue being
researched and the need must be identified. City has retained Associate
Counsel for its expertise, and therefore expects not to be billed for
introductory or background research. The City will not pay for attorneys, law
clerks and paralegals educating themselves or doing work of a transient
nature on the case.
Page117
AGENDA ITEM APPROVED
- 05121119, MEA
G. The City expects the attomey assigned to the case to handle all significant
matters in the case. If other attorneys are assigned to assist the primary
attomey, the City must be notified. The City may request that the assigned
work be instead handled by the primary attomey. Thus, only those attorneys
or persons approved in advance by the City may bill on the case. Upon City
request, resumes will be provided for all persons (other than clerical or
secretarial) working on the case.
H. No more than two non-attomey support staff may bill on a particular case
without the prior approval of the City.
I. One paralegal may be used. Assignment of work to such paralegal should not
result in duplicative work by the attorneys, or reworking of paralegal's work.
Paralegal shall not perform clerical work, such as filing, indexing, date -
stamping, organizing, etc., but shall perform work such as research,
summarizing depositions, investigation, interviews of witnesses, etc.
J. Upon request, each item billed must be coded to a specific budget line item,
so a bill may be easily compared with the approved budget.
K. A tracking system must be set up to periodically, at least every six months, to
compare the amount of work completed to a percentage of the budget
absorbed.
L. The City Attorney reserves the right to request various levels of detail and
specific formats (such as columnar comparisons with established budgets).
M. The City will not pay for more than one biller doing any task (e.g. two or more
attorneys attending the same depositions or the same court appearances, a
biller redoing the work of another biller, or duplicative entries for reviewing
and analyzing documentation and legal research).
N. Charges for time spent complying with billing inquiries and/or City audits are
non -reimbursable.
O. Photocopies of deposition transcripts shall be made whenever possible to
reduce deposition expenses.
P. No finance charge or interest will be paid by the City, nor billed by Associate
Counsel.
4.6 Timing of Payment.
The City shall pay Associate Counsel for services rendered and costs
incurred hereunder, at the rates and in the amounts provided hereunder, on a monthly basis.
5.0 Engagement of Other Counse3, S QeclaIists or Experts.
Associate Counsel shall not engage or otherwise incur an obligation to
Page118
AGENDA ITEM APPROVED
- 05121119, MEA
pay other counsel, specialists or experts for services in connection with this Agreement without
the prior written approval of the City Attorney.
6.0 Termination of Agreement and Legal Services.
Subject to the applicable provisions of the Rules of Professional Conduct
of the State Bar of California, this Agreement and all legal services to be rendered hereunder
may be terminated at any time by written notice from either party with or without cause. In such
event, all finished or unfinished documents, project data and reports, both originals and all

Associate Counsel shall be paid for all satisfactory work, unless such termination is made for
cause, in which event compensation, it any, shall be adjusted, in the City's sole discretion, in

connection with the carrying out of any project to which this Agreement pertains, shall have any
personal interest, direct or indirect, in this Agreement.

9.0 General Procedures.
9.1 Copies of major documents, correspondence and periodic status
reports shall be submitted to keep the City Attorney advised of any
major developments in the matter. Once the Plan is approved,
Associate Counsel need not advise the City of each and every
step being taken. As long as Associate Counsel is complying with
the Plan, it should provide periodic reviews and information on
sign'rficant matters. The City does not, however, want boilerplate
routine letters announcing each and every procedural step being
taken.
10.0 Poi cy for Investi aboo and QP5CC)Ver Assistance.

meeting of April 16, 2019, wherein the City Council also held its City Council reorganization. Having elected the
Mayor and Mayor Pro-Tempore for the year, this is the appropriate point in time for the Council to review and address
annual appointments of representatives to the various regional boards of agencies and/or committees. Appointees serve
as voting members on some of these boards and/or connnittees, with some (not all) of the positions entitling the
appointee to additional compensation.
Each appointment is to be considered individually, with the vote to be voted on as a whole by the City Council.
Attached is an overview of each entity's function and other pertinent information.
Pursuant to FPPC Regulation 18705.5 each agency must post on its website a single Form 806 which lists all the paid
appointed positions to which an official will vote to appoint themselves. The Form 806 will be completed and posted in
accordance with FPPC regulations upon City Council action.
Fiscal cal Impact:
There is no fiscal impact for the appointment to various agencies and conm ittees as this is an administrative item.
Associated costs may include travel and registration expenditures for attendance to various meetings and functions,
some of which may be covered by the hosting agency or committee.

Agenda Item No. COV-178-2019
Submitted by: Jessica Balandran
Submitting Department: Public Utilities
Meeting Date: May 21, 2019
SUBJECT
Approval of Amendment No. 3 to the Electric System Service and Maintenance Agreement between the City of
Vernon and Petrelli Electric, Inc.
Recommendation:
A. Find that approval of the proposed amendment is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA')
review, because it is a continuing administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the
environment, and therefore does not constitute a "project" as defined by CEQA Guidelines section 15378; and
B. Approve Amendment No. 3 to the Electric System Service and Maintenance Agreement ("Agreement') for Electric
System Maintenance with Petrelli Electric, Inc., in substantially the same form as submitted herewith, to update union
wages/staffing requirements, service scope, and expenditure cap components of the existing Agreement; and
C. Authorize the City Administrator to execute the proposed Amendment No. 3 between the City of Vernon and
Petrelli Electric, Inc., with an effective date of May 21, 2019.
Background:
On May 1, 2012, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2012-60 authorizing the issuance of a Request for
Proposals ("RFP') for electric system maintenance for the City. Upon completion of the RFP process, Vernon Public
Utilities ("VPU") staff recommended the City award a services agreement to Petrelli Electric, Inc., ("Petrelli')
("Contractor'). On July 17, 2012, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2012-139 approving and authorizing the
execution of an Electric System Service and Maintenance Agreement (the "Agreement') with Petrelli for a term of five
years effective July 17, 2012 with the option of extending the Agreement for an additional five years by mutual
agreement of the City and Contractor and upon approval by the City Council. Subsequently, on February 21, 2017,
Amendment No. 1, was approved by the City Council extending the Agreement by an additional five years with a new
termination date of July 17, 2022. Amendment No. 2, approved on September 5, 2017, revised rates for Petrelli's
union personnel.
Staff is now recommending Amendment No. 3 for City Council approval to address the following contract components:
1. Union Wages/Staffng Requirements
2. Scope of Services
3. Aggregate Expenditure Cap
Union Wages/Staffing Requirements
Pursuant to Section 5.1 of the Agreement, the City is to reimburse Petrelli for Contractor personnel time at specified
rates set forth in Exhibit D to the Agreement with the provision that said rates may only increase when the Contractor's
Page 227
AGENDA ITEM APPROVED
- 05121119, MEA
costs increase due to an increase in union labor wages. Accordingly, on August 6, 2013 (via minute order) and then on
September 5, 2017 (via Amendment No. 2), the City Council approved a revised Exhibit D to the Agreement,
increasing rates due to a re -negotiation of the union contract with IBEW Local 47. As required by the Agreement,
Petrelli recently notified VPU of an increase in labor wages and requested an increase of 4.6% to the labor rates
reflected in Exhibit D effective June 1, 2019 (IBEW Local47 labor wages increased 2.3% on June 1, 2018 and will
increase another 2.3% on June 1, 2019). Staff recommends approval of the requested increase, as there has not been
an increase since 2017 and it is agreed that the proposed increased rates more accurately reflect current labor costs.
In addition to the aforementioned update to Exhibit D, in their correspondence to the City dated April 29, 2019, Petrelh
also requested revisions to Exhibits B, B- 1, and C of the Agreement. Exhibits B and B-1 articulate the minimiun staffing
requirements for the Agreement. Although the City has periodically pre -approved Petrelli's staffing increases (as per
Section 3.3.2 of the Agreement), Exhibit B and the corresponding organizational chart provided in Exhibit B-1 have not
been updated since 2012. The proposed updates to the minimum staffing requirements are based on a significant
increase in the workload assigned to Petrelli Staff recommends updating Exhibits B and B-1 in order to formalize the
staffing changes that have been pre -approved and deemed necessary in order for Petrelh to adequately provide the
agreed upon services to the City.
Moreover, Petrelh has requested to include additional vehicles on Exhibit C to the Agreement which itemizes the
equipment leased and utilized by Petrelh when performing work for the City. Staff recommends updating Exhibit C, as
the requested increase coincides with the request for additional staffing. There are no proposed changes to the monthly
rates.
Scope of Services
Staffrecommends that Section 3.2 of the Agreement be updated to reflect an expansion of Services to include
construction and maintenance of the City's fiber optic cables and network (when required). The anticipated cost for
work related to fiber optic construction and maintenance is estimated at $165,000 per fiscal year. Business customers
pay for the majority of work performed on their property and residential work performed is covered by the VPU
budget. Having Petrelh perform the fiber optics work, on an as -needed basis, is a more cost effective approach than
having a dedicated fiber optic crew on City staff
Aggregate Expenditure Cap
Staff recommends that Section 5.3 of the Agreement be amended to provide more flexibility each fiscal year, allowing
staff to align proposed expenditures with planned work/projects. A fixed yearly amount imbedded in the contract,
irrespective ofplanned work/projects, does not permit staff to effectively craft a project plan. Staff is proposing an
approach which allows the City to pay for Petrelli's services on an as -needed basis up to the maximum amount
budgeted annually, thus providing an opportunity for the City Council to establish an expenditure cap each fiscal year
through the City's annual budget process that is reflective of actual planned work/projects where Petrelli's services may
be utilized.
As originally evaluated in 2012, Petrelh provides a great value to the City, allowing for cost savings in electric systems
service through the provision of highly qualified, properly trained, union workers who offer excellent, reliable customer
service with high-fiinctioning equipment. Approving Amendment No. 3 with Petrelh will ensure that the City is able to
continue to benefit from these high quality services without the burden of the additional overhead costs that hiring City
staff to perform this specialized work would entail.
Page 228
AGENDA ITEM APPROVED
- 05121119, MEA
The proposed Amendment No. 3 has been reviewed and approved as to form by the City Attorney's office.
Fiscal Impact:
All Petrelli costs for labor, equipment, and materials are invoiced to the City based on the actual work completed. All
work assigned to Petrelli is pre -approved and monitored by a VPU manager. Aside from emergency work, work on
the distribution and fiber optic systems is estimated and forecasted in the Public Utilities budget to be approved annually
by the City Council.
In fiscal year 2019-2020, it is estimated that VPU's budget for overall distribution and fiber optic systems will be
$21,983,604. This includes all expenditures in Field Operations (055.8000), Electrical Transmission & Distribution
(055.8300), Building Maintenance (055.8400), Engineering (055.9100), and Fiber Optics (057.1057). Although
actual expenditures will be determined by actual work performed, this budgeted amount will establish the not -to -exceed
annual expenditure cap for FY 2019-2020.
As is customary during the budget preparation process, any proposed budget amounts will be vetted by the Finance
Director and City Administrator prior to City Council approval. If the proposed amendment is approved, VPU will
budget accordingly for the upcoming fiscal year and in subsequent years.

AMENDMENT NO.3 TO THE ELECTRIC SYSTEM SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF VERNON AND PETRELLI ELECTRIC, INC.
This Amendment ("Amendment No. 3") to that certain Agreement, by and between the

maintenance dated July 17, 2012, (the "Agreement"), is made as of May 21, 2019.
WHEREAS, the City and Contractor desire to amend the Agreement to reflect (1) an
increase in minimum staffing requirements; (2) an increase in the quantity of equipment for use
by additional staff, and (3) a rate increase of its unionized workers. A copy of Contractor's
communication to the City requesting such the aforementioned increases, dated April 29, 2019,
is attached hereto as Exhibit A; and
WHEREAS, the City and Contractor desire to amend the Agreement to reflect expansion
of Services (as defined by the Agreement and described in Section 3.2 of the Agreement) to
include construction and maintenance of the City's fiber optic cables and network, on an as -
needed basis. A copy of Contractor's communication to the City confirming acceptance of the
City's request to expand such services, dated March 25, 2019, is attached hereto as Exhibit B;
and
WHEREAS, the City and Contractor desire to amend the Agreement to remove the
annual aggregate expenditure cap in Section 5.3 of the Agreement and replace such cap with a
more flexible approach that permits the City to pay for Contractor's services on an as -needed
basis up to the maximum amount budgeted annually in the Vernon Public Utilities' electric
distribution and fiber optic systems budgets.
NOW, THEREFORE, the undersigned parties to this Amendment No. 3 agree as follows:
1. Effective May 21, 2019, the Agreement is hereby amended with respect to
Contractor's (1) minimum staffing requirements; (2) quantity of equipment (but not monthly
rates for such equipment); and (3) labor rate increase as provided in the attached Exhibit A —
which exhibit replaces and updates Exhibits B, B-1, C, and D to the Agreement.
2. Effective May 21, 2019, the Agreement is hereby amended with respect to
Contractor's scope of Services as provided in the attached Exhibit B.
3. Effective May 21, 2019, Section 5.3 of the Agreement is hereby deleted in its
entirety and replaced with the following:
5.3 Annual Aggregate Expenditure Cap. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary set forth herein, in any year of the Term, Vernon shall not
authorize, and Contractor shall not incur, costs and expenses exceeding the
aggregate amount of the annual Vernon Public Utilities' overall electric
distribution and fiber optic systems budgets approved by Vernon's City Council.
4. Except as expressly modified by this Amendment No. 3, all provisions of the
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

Re: Electric System Service and Maintenance Agreement
Subject: Updates to Exhibits B, B-1, C, D
i
As you are aware, we have experienced a significant increase in our workload primarily due to the loss of
personnel at the City of Vernon, as well an increase in customer demands. We are formally requesting to increase
the minimum staffing requirements as listed in updated Exhibits B and B-1.
In relation to the above request, we are also formally requesting to add additional vehicles to Exhibit C.
Please note there are no change to the monthly rates, just an increase in quantity of equipment for the additional
staffing included in updated Exhibits B and B-1.
The union labor wages per the IBEW Local 47 collective bargaining agreement increased 2.3% on June 1,
2018 and will be increasing another 2.3% on June 1, 2019. We would like to formally request to increase the labor
rates a total of 4.6%, effective June 1, 2019, in an effort to more accurately reflect current labor costs. These new
requested rates are included in updated Exhibit D.
Please see the attached updated Exhibits for your consideration.
