(page D-1) E. Account Numbers - (page E-1) 1 BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION: The City has contracted for maintenance services for landscaping and litter and trash control services under multiple contracts with multiple vendors for many years. To simplify contract management, Public Works combined three separate contracts into a single specification and added a general maintenance services component. The consolidation to a single contract and vendor will improve efficiency by having fewer points of contacts, providing better coverage, and eliminating gaps in coverage and duplication of effort. The addition of general maintenance services will allow maintenance department personnel to shift the majority of their focus from work order tasks to production control, contract surveillance, and quality assurance. The request for bids for Labor and Equipment for City Landscaping, General Maintenance, and Litter & Trash Services was publicly advertised, and four sealed bids were received and opened on June 6, 2016. Of the four bids received, Stay Green, Inc. submitted the apparent low bid (Attachment B). BID SUMMARY Bidder Bid Amount Stay Green, Inc. $2,841,198.00 Venco Western, Inc. $3,034,188.00 Bennett Landscaping $4,801,680.00 Marina Landscape Maintenance, Inc. $6,777,900.01 Staff has verified Stay Green, Inc.'s references and found their past performance on projects of similar size and scope to be satisfactory. Stay Green, Inc. has performed similar work for several agencies throughout Southern California, including the cities of Downey, Burbank, and Santa Clarita. Their bid, bonds, and insurance documents are in order and their contractor's license is current. The proposed agreement (Attachment A) is for a period of three years, FY16-17 to FY18-19, with three, one-year extension options, based on Contractor performance and mutual consent. Each one-year extension would be at the same annual rate as the original three years. Staff recommends a contingency amount of $25,000 annually in addition to the Contractor's base bid of $2,841,198 for overtime to support City events such as "Whale of a Day" and "July 4t" Celebration", which occur outside of scheduled working hours, and after-hours responses to emergency calls for service. Upon reviewing the bids, staff determined that the amount budgeted in FY 16-17 was not adequate to fully fund all of the services requested in the new specification. Staff is requesting an additional appropriation of $78,766 from the General Fund above the $893,300 budgeted to fully fund the contract. The additional funding is required to cover general maintenance services, such as carpentry, welding, and fencing. These services have historically been performed by City maintenance staff and a variety of contractors. The addition of the general maintenance services component of this contract will allow the department to affect general maintenance repairs more quickly and cost effectively. 2 We will save time by reducing the need to obtain quotes for individual repairs which were previously not covered under a maintenance contract and save money by performing the repairs with contracted personnel at lower hourly rates than those typically received on a job by job basis. The additional funding will be split equally between the Building Maintenance and Parks, Trails, and Open Space Maintenance accounts. Bid Protest The City received a bid protest (Attachment C) from Bennett Landscaping, the third - lowest bidder, dated June 9, 2016. The bid protest letter cited several portions of the bid documents and Staff's responses to requests for interpretation which they perceived to have created an unfair process. In relevant part, the bid protest letter makes the following allegations, each of which is discussed in turn: 1. The City improperly issued responses to requests for interpretation through written answers to questions rather than formal addendum. The City's Contract Documents state: "Any interpretation or correction of the contract document will be made only by an Addendum duly issued, and a copy of such Addendum will be mailed, delivered or faxed to each person receiving a set of the contract documents. No oral interpretation of any provision in the contract documents shall be binding." (Bid Package, page i-4.) In response to questions from bidders, the City issued one document titled an Addendum (dated May 23, 2016), and issued four written documents with answers to questions (dated May 23, 25, 31 and June 1, 2016). Both the Addendum and the answers to questions were issued, in writing, to all plan holders, including Bennett Landscaping, so all bidders had the same information. 2. The lowest bidder did not use the correct labor rates set by the Department of Industrial Relations. Staff forwarded the bid protest to the City Attorney's office for review and recommendation. The City Attorney's office reviewed the protest and advised Staff to forward a copy of the bid protest to Stay Green, Inc., the lowest bidder, requesting their response to the Allegation No. 2, that the lowest bidder used incorrect prevailing wage rates (Attachment D). On June 20, 2016 the attorney for Stay Green responded that Stay Green had used the correct prevailing wage rates. It should be further noted that Stay Green certified in its Proposal that it would pay the appropriate prevailing wages. 3. The labor classifications listed in the Contract Documents were not registered classifications with the Department of Industrial Relations. The prevailing wage laws impose a variety of responsibilities on public entities awarding contracts for public works. The body awarding any contract for public work, or 3 otherwise undertaking any public work, must obtain the general prevailing rate of per diem wages and the general prevailing rate for holiday and overtime work in the locality in which the public work is to be performed for each craft, classification, or type of worker needed to execute the contract from the Director of Industrial Relations. (Lab. Code, § 1773) It must then either specify in the call for bids, the bid specifications and in the contract itself what the prevailing wages are, or it must state that those rates are available at the public entity's office. (Lab. Code, § 1773.2.) The awarding body is also required to cause to be inserted into the contract stipulations that, in the event that the contractor fails to pay the prevailing wages, the contractor is liable for penalties and for the shortfall in wages. (Lab. Code, § 1775). (See generally, Aubry v. Tri -City Hospital Dist. (1992) 2 CalAth 962, 967.) As required by Labor Code section 1773.2, the Contract Documents state that "[p]ursuant to the Labor Code of the State of California, the Director of Industrial Relations has determined the general prevailing rate of wages and employer payments for health and welfare, vacation, pension and similar purposes applicable to the work to be done. This rate and scale are on file with the Director of Public Works and copies will be made available to any interested party on request." (Bid Package, page NC -2.) The Contract Documents further state "[p]ursuant to Labor Code Section 1773.2, copies of the prevailing rate of per diem wages for each craft, classification, or type of worker needed to perform the Agreement are on file at City Hall and will be made available to any interested party on request. Contractor acknowledges receipt of a copy of the DIR determination of such prevailing rate of per diem wages, and Contractor shall post such rates at each job site covered by this Agreement." (Bid Package, page GP -2.) In response to the question "What are the wage rates (prevailing) to be used?" the City answered, "The City does not determine the wage rates, these are set by the California Department of Industrial Relations." The City has a computer available at the Public Works Department counter from which bidders can look up the then -current prevailing wages required by the DIR. 4. The City's responses to questions conflict with the Contract Documents. Specifically, in response to a question noting that apprentices are not listed in the bid form the City stated, "Only the positions listed in the specifications are required. " This allegation refers to Section 8 of the General Provisions titled "Apprentices", which states: Apprenticeship Program: Attention is directed to Sections 1777.5, 1777.6 and 1777.7 of the California Labor Code and Title 8, California Administrative code section 200 et seq. to ensure compliance and complete understanding of the law regarding apprentices ... Attention is directed to the provisions of Sections 1777.5 and 1777.6 of the Labor Code concerning the employment of apprentices by the Contractor or any subcontractor under Contractor. It shall be Contractor's El responsibility to ensure that all persons shall comply with the requirements of said sections in the employment of apprentices... Information relative to apprenticeship standards and administration of the apprenticeship program may be obtained from the Department of Industrial Relations, San Francisco, California, or from the Division of Apprenticeship Standards and its branch offices.... Information relative to apprenticeship standards and administration of the apprenticeship program may be obtained from the Department of Industrial Relations, San Francisco, California, or from the Division of Apprenticeship Standards and its branch offices. The burden is on the contractor to determine what apprentices, if any, are required for the project. The burden on the City is to "cause to be inserted in the contract stipulations to effectuate [Labor Code section 1777.5]. The stipulations shall fix the responsibility of compliance with [Section 1777.5] for all apprenticeable occupations with the prime contractor." (Lab. Code, § 1777.5.) 5. The City's responses to questions and requests for interpretations conflicted with the Contract Documents. Specifically, in response to a question noting "what line item is for the overall supervisor?" The City stated, "As no on site overall supervisor is specified in the project the cost of this level of project oversight shall be calculated into the rates for onsite personnel." This allegation refers to Section 26 of the General Provisions titled "Contractor's Supervisor", which states: The Contractor shall designate in writing and keep on the work at all times during its process a competent, full-time, technically qualified Supervisor per these Special provisions. The Contractor's supervisor shall be present at the site of the work at all times while work is in progress. The Supervisor's sole duties shall be to supervise a full work crew and coordinate activities pertaining to any work performed by the Contractor or its subcontractors, including traffic control and public notifications. Failure to observe this requirement shall be considered as suspension of the work by the Contractor until such time as such supervisor is again present at the site. The Director of Public Works or his authorized representative shall have the right, at any time, to direct a change in the Contractor's supervisor, if the performance is unsatisfactory, as determined by the Director of Public Works or his authorized representative, in its sole discretion. The Special Provisions do not provide for a Supervisor to be on site, as such there is no need for a separate line item. Based on the foregoing analysis, each allegation appears to be unsubstantiated. Consequently, it is recommended that the bid protest be rejected and the maintenance contract be awarded to the lowest bidder, Stay Green. �� ALTERNATIVES: In addition to the Staff recommendation, the following alternative actions are available for the City Council's consideration: 1. Award an Agreement to the second -lowest bidder, Venco Western, Inc. 2. Reject all bids and direct Public Works to re -advertise the contract. 3. Take other action as deemed appropriate by the City Council. Al • CONTRACT SERVICES AGREEMENT By and Between CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES and STAY GREEN, INC.

Any deductibles or self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by City. At the option of City, either the insurer shall reduce or eliminate such deductibles or self-insured retentions as respects City or its respective elected or appointed officers, officials, employees and volunteers or the Consultant shall procure a bond guaranteeing payment of losses and related investigations, claim administration, defense expenses and claims. The Consultant agrees that the requirement to provide insurance shall not be construed as limiting in any way the extent to which the Consultant may be held responsible for the payment of damages to any persons or property resulting from the Consultant's activities or the activities of any person or persons for which the Consultant is otherwise responsible nor shall it limit the Consultant's indemnification liabilities as provided in Section 5.3. In the event the Consultant subcontracts any portion of the work in compliance with Section 4.5 of this Agreement, the contract between the Consultant and such subcontractor shall require the subcontractor to maintain the same policies of insurance that the Consultant is required to maintain pursuant to Section 5.1, and such certificates and endorsements shall be provided to City. 5.3 Indemnification. To the full extent permitted by law, Consultant agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the City, its officers, employees and agents ("Indemnified Parties") against, and will hold and save them and each of them harmless from, any and all actions, either judicial, administrative, arbitration or regulatory claims, damages to persons or property, losses, costs, penalties, obligations, errors, omissions or liabilities whether actual or threatened (herein "claims or liabilities") that may be asserted or claimed by any person, firm or entity arising out of or in connection with the negligent performance of the work, operations or activities provided herein of Consultant, its officers, employees, agents, subcontractors, or invitees, or any individual or entity for which Consultant is legally liable ("indemnitors"), or arising from Consultant's or indemnitors' reckless or willful misconduct, or arising from Consultant's or indemnitors' negligent performance of or failure to perform any term, provision, covenant or condition of this Agreement, and in connection therewith: (a) Consultant will defend any action or actions filed in connection with any of said claims or liabilities and will pay all costs and expenses, including legal costs and attorneys' fees incurred in connection therewith; 01203.0006/302166.1 -9- A-10 (b) Consultant will promptly pay any judgment rendered against the City, its officers, agents or employees for any such claims or liabilities arising out of or in connection with the negligent performance of or failure to perform such work, operations or activities of Consultant hereunder; and Consultant agrees to save and hold the City, its officers, agents, and employees harmless therefrom; (c) In the event the City, its officers, agents or employees is made a party to any action or proceeding filed or prosecuted against Consultant for such damages or other claims arising out of or in connection with the negligent performance of or failure to perform the work, operation or activities of Consultant hereunder, Consultant agrees to pay to the City, its officers, agents or employees, any and all costs and expenses incurred by the City, its officers, agents or employees in such action or proceeding, including but not limited to, legal costs and attorneys' fees. Consultant shall incorporate similar indemnity agreements with its subcontractors and if it fails to do so Consultant shall be fully responsible to indemnify City hereunder therefore, and failure of City to monitor compliance with these provisions shall not be a waiver hereof. This indemnification includes claims or liabilities arising from any negligent or wrongful act, error or omission, or reckless or willful misconduct of Consultant in the performance of professional services hereunder. The provisions of this Section do not apply to claims or liabilities occurring as a result of City's sole negligence or willful acts or omissions, but, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall apply to claims and liabilities resulting in part from City's negligence, except that design professionals' indemnity hereunder shall be limited to claims and liabilities arising out of the negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct of the design professional. The indemnity obligation shall be binding on successors and assigns of Consultant and shall survive termination of this Agreement. 5.4 Sufficiency of Insurer. Insurance required by this Agreement shall be satisfactory only if issued by companies qualified to do business in California, rated "A" or better in the most recent edition of Best Rating Guide, The Key Rating Guide or in the Federal Register, and only if they are of a financial category Class VII or better, unless such requirements are waived by the Risk Manager of the City ("Risk Manager") due to unique circumstances. If this Agreement continues for more than 3 years duration, or in the event the risk manager determines that the work or services to be performed under this Agreement creates an increased or decreased risk of loss to the City, the Consultant agrees that the minimum limits of the insurance policies may be changed accordingly upon receipt of written notice from the Risk Manager. ARTICLE 6. RECORDS, REPORTS, AND RELEASE OF INFORMATION 6.1 Records. Consultant shall keep, and require subcontractors to keep, such ledgers, books of accounts, invoices, vouchers, canceled checks, reports, studies or other documents relating to the disbursements charged to City and services performed hereunder (the "books and records"), as shall be necessary to perform the services required by this Agreement and enable the Contract Officer to evaluate the performance of such services. Any and all such documents shall be maintained in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and shall be complete 01203.0006/302166.1 -10- A-11 and detailed.

Such records shall be maintained for a period of three (3) years following completion of the services hereunder, and the City shall have access to such records in the event any audit is required. In the event of dissolution of Consultant's business, custody of the books and records may be given to City, and access shall be provided by Consultant's successor in interest. Notwithstanding the above, the Consultant shall fully cooperate with the City in providing access to the books and records if a public records request is made and disclosure is required by law including but not limited to the California Public Records Act. 6.2 Reports. Consultant shall periodically prepare and submit to the Contract Officer such reports concerning the performance of the services required by this Agreement as the Contract Officer shall require. Consultant hereby acknowledges that the City is greatly concerned about the cost of work and services to be performed pursuant to this Agreement. For this reason, Consultant agrees that if Consultant becomes aware of any facts, circumstances, techniques, or events that may or will materially increase or decrease the cost of the work or services contemplated herein or, if Consultant is providing design services, the cost of the project being designed, Consultant shall promptly notify the Contract Officer of said fact, circumstance, technique or event and the estimated increased or decreased cost related thereto and, if Consultant is providing design services, the estimated increased or decreased cost estimate for the project being designed. 6.3 Ownership of Documents. All drawings, specifications, maps, designs, photographs, studies, surveys, data, notes, computer files, reports, records, documents and other materials (the "documents and materials") prepared by Consultant, its employees, subcontractors and agents in the performance of this Agreement shall be the property of City and shall be delivered to City upon request of the Contract Officer or upon the termination of this Agreement, and Consultant shall have no claim for further employment or additional compensation as a result of the exercise by City of its full rights of ownership use, reuse, or assignment of the documents and materials hereunder. Any use, reuse or assignment of such completed documents for other projects and/or use of uncompleted documents without specific written authorization by the Consultant will be at the City's sole risk and without liability to Consultant, and Consultant's guarantee and warranties shall not extend to such use, reuse or assignment. Consultant may retain copies of such documents for its own use. Consultant shall have the right to use the concepts embodied therein. All subcontractors shall provide for assignment to City of any documents or materials prepared by them, and in the event Consultant fails to secure such assignment, Consultant shall indemnify City for all damages resulting therefrom. Moreover, Consultant with respect to any documents and materials that may qualify as "works made for hire" as defined in 17 U.S.C. § 101, such documents and materials are hereby deemed "works made for hire" for the City. 6.4 Confidentialitv and Release of Information. (a) All information gained or work product produced by Consultant in performance of this Agreement shall be considered confidential, unless such information is in the public domain or already known to Consultant. Consultant shall not release or disclose any 01203.0006/302166.1 -11- A-12 such information or work product to persons or entities other than City without prior written authorization from the Contract Officer. (b) Consultant, its officers, employees, agents or subcontractors, shall not, without prior written authorization from the Contract Officer or unless requested by the City Attorney, voluntarily provide documents, declarations, letters of support, testimony at depositions, response to interrogatories or other information concerning the work performed under this Agreement. Response to a subpoena or court order shall not be considered "voluntary" provided Consultant gives City notice of such court order or subpoena. (c) If Consultant, or any officer, employee, agent or subcontractor of Consultant, provides any information or work product in violation of this Agreement, then City shall have the right to reimbursement and indemnity from Consultant for any damages, costs and fees, including attorneys fees, caused by or incurred as a result of Consultant's conduct. (d) Consultant shall promptly notify City should Consultant, its officers, employees, agents or subcontractors be served with any summons, complaint, subpoena, notice of deposition, request for documents, interrogatories, request for admissions or other discovery request, court order or subpoena from any party regarding this Agreement and the work performed there under. City retains the right, but has no obligation, to represent Consultant or be present at any deposition, hearing or similar proceeding. Consultant agrees to cooperate fully with City and to provide City with the opportunity to review any response to discovery requests provided by Consultant. However, this right to review any such response does not imply or mean the right by City to control, direct, or rewrite said response. ARTICLE 7. ENFORCEMENT OF AGREEMENT AND TERMINATION 7.1 California Law. This Agreement shall be interpreted, construed and governed both as to validity and to performance of the parties in accordance with the laws of the State of California. Legal actions concerning any dispute, claim or matter arising out of or in relation to this Agreement shall be instituted in the Superior Court of the County of Los Angeles, State of California, or any other appropriate court in such county, and Consultant covenants and agrees to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such court in the event of such action. In the event of litigation in a U.S. District Court, venue shall lie exclusively in the Central District of California, in the County of Los Angeles, State of California. 7.2 Disputes; Default. In the event that Consultant is in default under the terms of this Agreement, the City shall not have any obligation or duty to continue compensating Consultant for any work performed after the date of default. Instead, the City may give notice to Consultant of the default and the reasons for the default. The notice shall include the timeframe in which Consultant may cure the default. This timeframe is presumptively thirty (30) days, but may be extended, though not reduced, if circumstances warrant. During the period of time that Consultant is in default, the City shall hold all invoices and shall, when the default is cured, proceed with payment on the invoices. In the alternative, the City may, in its sole discretion, elect to pay some or all of the outstanding invoices during the period of default. If Consultant does not cure the default, the City may take necessary steps to terminate this Agreement under this Article. Any failure on the 01203.0006/302166.1 -12- A-13 part of the City to give notice of the Consultant's default shall not be deemed to result in a waiver of the City's legal rights or any rights arising out of any provision of this Agreement. 7.3 Retention of Funds. Consultant hereby authorizes City to deduct from any amount payable to Consultant (whether or not arising out of this Agreement) (i) any amounts the payment of which may be in dispute hereunder or which are necessary to compensate City for any losses, costs, liabilities, or damages suffered by City, and (ii) all amounts for which City may be liable to third parties, by reason of Consultant's acts or omissions in performing or failing to perform Consultant's obligation under this Agreement. In the event that any claim is made by a third party, the amount or validity of which is disputed by Consultant, or any indebtedness shall exist which shall appear to be the basis for a claim of lien, City may withhold from any payment due, without liability for interest because of such withholding, an amount sufficient to cover such claim. The failure of City to exercise such right to deduct or to withhold shall not, however, affect the obligations of the Consultant to insure, indemnify, and protect City as elsewhere provided herein. 7.4 Waiver. Waiver by any party to this Agreement of any term, condition, or covenant of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other term, condition, or covenant. Waiver by any party of any breach of the provisions of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other provision or a waiver of any subsequent breach or violation of any provision of this Agreement. Acceptance by City of any work or services by Consultant shall not constitute a waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy by a non -defaulting party on any default shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver. Any waiver by either party of any default must be in writing and shall not be a waiver of any other default concerning the same or any other provision of this Agreement. 7.5 Rights and Remedies are Cumulative. Except with respect to rights and remedies expressly declared to be exclusive in this Agreement, the rights and remedies of the parties are cumulative and the exercise by either party of one or more of such rights or remedies shall not preclude the exercise by it, at the same or different times, of any other rights or remedies for the same default or any other default by the other party. 7.6 Legal Action. In addition to any other rights or remedies, either party may take legal action, in law or in equity, to cure, correct or remedy any default, to recover damages for any default, to compel specific performance of this Agreement, to obtain declaratory or injunctive relief, or to obtain any other remedy consistent with the purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, Consultant shall file a statutory claim pursuant to Government Code Sections 905 et seq. and 910 et seq., in order to pursue a legal action under this Agreement. 7.7 Termination Prior to Expiration of Term. This Section shall govern any termination of this Contract except as specifically provided in the following Section for termination for cause. The City reserves the right to terminate this 01203.0006/302166.1 - 13 - A-14 Contract at any time, with or without cause, upon thirty (30) days' written notice to Consultant, except that where termination is due to the fault of the Consultant, the period of notice may be such shorter time as may be determined by the Contract Officer. In addition, the Consultant reserves the right to terminate this Contract at any time, with or without cause, upon sixty (60) days' written notice to City, except that where termination is due to the fault of the City, the period of notice may be such shorter time as the Consultant may determine. Upon receipt of any notice of termination, Consultant shall immediately cease all services hereunder except such as may be specifically approved by the Contract Officer. Except where the Consultant has initiated termination, the Consultant shall be entitled to compensation for all services rendered prior to the effective date of the notice of termination and for any services authorized by the Contract Officer thereafter in accordance with the Schedule of Compensation or such as may be approved by the Contract Officer, except as provided in Section 7.3. In the event the Consultant has initiated termination, the Consultant shall be entitled to compensation only for the reasonable value of the work product actually produced hereunder. In the event of termination without cause pursuant to this Section, the terminating party need not provide the non -terminating party with the opportunity to cure pursuant to Section 7.2. 7.8 Termination for Default of Consultant. If termination is due to the failure of the Consultant to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, City may, after compliance with the provisions of Section 7.2, take over the work and prosecute the same to completion by contract or otherwise, and the Consultant shall be liable to the extent that the total cost for completion of the services required hereunder exceeds the compensation herein stipulated (provided that the City shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate such damages), and City may withhold any payments to the Consultant for the purpose of set-off or partial payment of the amounts owed the City as previously stated. 7.9 Attorneys' Fees. If either party to this Agreement is required to initiate or defend or made a party to any action or proceeding in any way connected with this Agreement, the prevailing party in such action or proceeding, in addition to any other relief which may be granted, whether legal or equitable, shall be entitled to reasonable attorney's fees. Attorney's fees shall include attorney's fees on any appeal, and in addition a party entitled to attorney's fees shall be entitled to all other reasonable costs for investigating such action, taking depositions and discovery and all other necessary costs the court allows which are incurred in such litigation. All such fees shall be deemed to have accrued on commencement of such action and shall be enforceable whether or not such action is prosecuted to judgment. 7.10 Liquidated Damages Since the determination of actual damages for any delay in performance of this Agreement would be extremely difficult or impractical to determine in the event of a breach of this Agreement, the Contractor and its sureties shall be liable for and shall pay to the City the sum of ($ ) as liquidated damages for each working day of delay in the performance of any service required hereunder, as specified in the Schedule of Performance (Exhibit "D"). The City may withhold from any monies payable on account of services performed by the Contractor any accrued liquidated damages. -14- A-15 01203.0006/302166.1 ARTICLE 8. CITY OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES: NON-DISCRIMINATION 8.1 Non -liability of City Officers and Employees. No officer or employee of the City shall be personally liable to the Consultant, or any successor in interest, in the event of any default or breach by the City or for any amount which may become due to the Consultant or to its successor, or for breach of any obligation of the terms of this Agreement. 8.2 Conflict of Interest. Consultant covenants that neither it, nor any officer or principal of its firm, has or shall acquire any interest, directly or indirectly, which would conflict in any manner with the interests of City or which would in any way hinder Consultant's performance of services under this Agreement. Consultant further covenants that in the performance of this Agreement, no person having any such interest shall be employed by it as an officer, employee, agent or subcontractor without the express written consent of the Contract Officer. Consultant agrees to at all times avoid conflicts of interest or the appearance of any conflicts of interest with the interests of City in the performance of this Agreement. No officer or employee of the City shall have any financial interest, direct or indirect, in this Agreement nor shall any such officer or employee participate in any decision relating to the Agreement which affects her/his financial interest or the financial interest of any corporation, partnership or association in which (s)he is, directly or indirectly, interested, in violation of any State statute or regulation. The Consultant warrants that it has not paid or given and will not pay or give any third party any money or other consideration for obtaining this Agreement. 8.3 Covenant Against Discrimination. Consultant covenants that, by and for itself, its heirs, executors, assigns, and all persons claiming under or through them, that there shall be no discrimination against or segregation of, any person or group of persons on account of race, color, creed, religion, sex, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, national origin, ancestry or other protected class in the performance of this Agreement. Consultant shall take affirmative action to insure that applicants are employed and that employees are treated during employment without regard to their race, color, creed, religion, sex, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, national origin, ancestry or other protected class. 8.4 Unauthorized Aliens. Consultant hereby promises and agrees to comply with all of the provisions of the Federal Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C.A. §§ 1101, et seq., as amended, and in connection therewith, shall not employ unauthorized aliens as defined therein. Should Consultant so employ such unauthorized aliens for the performance of work and/or services covered by this Agreement, and should any liability or sanctions be imposed against City for such use of unauthorized aliens, Consultant hereby agrees to and shall reimburse City for the cost of all such liabilities or sanctions imposed, together with any and all costs, including attorneys' fees, incurred by City. -ls- A-16 01203.0006/302166.1 ARTICLE 9.

EXHIBIT 66D-1" 01203.0006/302166.1 A-45 ANNEX C DPW Service Request/Work Order Criteria Service Requests and Work Orders are divided into several groups depending on work classification. The following list defines the work classification groups: • Service Request — Requests for work from internal or external customers which is not scheduled. This type of work is generally reported by phone, email, web request or in person. • Preventive Maintenance — Recurring scheduled work which is performed on a set cycle to prevent damage to equipment, assets and infrastructure. Examples would include: servicing a piece of equipment at a certain hour, time or mile interval. • Scheduled Work -- Work which is scheduled in advance for the convenience of the public or internal customers_ Examples would include: mowing of a certain park on a fixed day each week or painting an office when the occupant is off duty_ • Unscheduled Work Order — Work which is reported through the Service Request process or is self -identified by field technicians or City Maintenance personnel. Unscheduled work is prioritized as Emergency, Urgent, Routine or Command Directed. Examples would include: sewer overflows, downed trees or limbs, burnt out light bulbs or any other type of problem which needs to be repaired in a timely manner. • Project Work Order — Work which will involve more than 48 man hours or cost more than $5000.00 in materials to complete. This work is not subject to the work prioritization classification, but may have a set date for completion. Examples would include: painting an entire building, rebuilding a damaged bus stop, replacing a major piece of equipment or any other work which by the nature of its scope cannot be classified as a work order. Unscheduled Work Orders are prioritized according to the following classification definitions - • Emergency - Emergency work takes priority over all other work and requires immediate action, including overtime or diverting craftsmen from other jobs, if necessary, to mitigate the emergency. Usually, work will be classified as emergency when it consists of correcting failures/problems, which constitute an immediate danger to life, health, security or critical infrastructure. Normal response to emergency work is within 1 hour during normal business hours and 2 hours after normal business hours. Once started, work will continue until completed or until temporary repairs which alleviate the immediate danger are completed. Every effort will be made to complete repairs within 24 hours. • Urgent - Urgent work is required to correct a condition, which could become an emergency if left uncorrected or poses a significant inconvenience to customers. Normal Response to urgent work is within 24 hours. Every effort will be made to complete repairs within 72 hours. • Routine - Routine work does not meet the criteria of emergency or urgent. This category covers required work which, if not accomplished, would only continue to be an inconvenient or unsightly condition. Work in this category will normally be accomplished on a first-come first-served basis. Every effort will be made to respond to routine work within 3 business days and complete routine work within calendar 14 days. 01203.0006/302166.1 A-46 PROPOSAL CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES LABOR AND EQUIPMENT FOR CITY LANDSCAPING, GENERAL MAINTAINANCE, AND LITTER & TRASH SERVICES TO THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS, CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES: The undersigned, as bidder, declares that: (1) this proposal is made without collusion with any other person, firm or corporation, and that the only persons or parties interested as principals are those named herein; (2) bidder has carefully examined the project plans, specifications, instructions to bidders, proposal, notice to contractors and all other information furnished therefore and the site of the proposed work; (3) bidder has investigated and is satisfied as to the conditions to be encountered, the character, quality and quantities of work to be performed and materials to be furnished.

Any interpretation or correction of the contract document will be made ONLY by an Addendum duly issued, and a copy of such Addendum will be deliverE,d to each person receiving a set of the contract documents. This statement comes directly from the Contract Documents For Maintenance of the bid that was opened on this past Monday, June 6th, 2016. As you are aware, there was a huge discrepancy in costs betweep the bidders. I find this to be due to the ambiguity of the answers of the RFI's. I can only assume that the cavernous differences in pricing was due to the lowest bidders not using the correct labor rates set by the Department of Industrial Relations. As anybody doing Public Work will know, the DIR has multitudes of labor classifications that one must sort through. This particular contract will have at least four separate labor determinations to use. These being: Landscape Maintenance, Landscape/Irrigation Laborer, General Laborer (which has 5 separate categories), and Operating Engineers. The range of pay for these classifications are huge. In doing some quick mathematics, there was no wy that the lowest 2 bidders would havE! accounted for these labor classifications. I must point out that all RFI's were due on May 31, 2016. No subsequent Addendum was issued for clarification. Only 4 pages of answers to questions. I'm not sure if this quali ies as an Addendum to the Bid Documents. I point this out because some of the answers to the questins were in direct conflict with the specifications. This alone may have been a cause to the differences in prices. I will list a few: Page GP -2, Section 5. Prevailing Wages — Pursuant to Labor Code 1 73.2, the prevailing rate for EACH craft, classification shall be paid to each worker. Questions were asked regarding the specific labor classifications. It was pointed out that the listed Tabor classifications used in the bid form were not registered classifications with the DIR. If the ansv - rs received are used to calculate labor rates, one must make assumptions. I'm sure the as5L.mptions used by the lowest bidders were to use the lowest waged determination they could to keep the cost down. This iters alone is a dangerous assumption to make as the DIR can audit wages and penalize per day, if a lower wage is paid to an employee than what is required.

Fage GP -3, Section 8. Apprentices—Attention is directed to the provisions of Sections 1778.5 and 1776.6 of the Labor Code concerning the employment of Apprentices by the Contractor. A specific question was asked and answered regarding the use of apprentices. Question: 'Are apprentices required? There is no designated spot in the bid fora to include them or wages.' Answer: 'Only the positions listed in the specifications are requirod'. This is not true. Every requested labor classification in this bid is an apprentice able craft. 3. Page GP -16, Section 26. Contractor's Supervisor — The Contractor shall designate in writing and keep on the work at all times during its process a competent, full-time, technically qualified Sipervisor per these Special Provisions. A question was also asked and answered. Question: 'What line item is for the overall supervisor?' Answer: 'As no on site overall supervisor is specified in the project the cost of this level of project oversight shall be calculated into the rates for the onsite personnel.' As this answer is in direct conflict with the specifications, and without a correlating Addendum inserting these Questions/Answers into the Bid Documents, the interpretation could be that since it was answered that therelis no Supervisor required, no price will be added. This is also too large of an assumption to let pass. Bidders who follow the specifications because no Addendum was issued are left at a disadvantage. Just to point out another discrepancy in the RFI process (which also didn't make it to Addendum) was a question regarding irrigation auditing. I. Page PWS -9, Section P.3.15.7 — Compliance with AB 325 'Model Water Irrigation Ordinance': Contractor shall be required to comply with all restrictions associated with Assembly Bill 325. To include audits and efficiency standards for all landscape areas. A question was specifically asked regarding these audits. Question: How oft& is an irrigation audit required? When was the last one performed? If one was performed, is a copy available to preview?' Answer: 'There is a monthly irrigation report to be repared by the contractor, see page PWS -8; section P.3.15.1.1. This is a new requirement under this specification. No copy of the report is available at this time.' The answer to the question is misleading. What the answer refers to is strictly a maintenance report of the irrig:-tion system and NOT an audit. The audit is specifically mentioned in another section. -,-his too, by a bidder who strictly adheres to the Specifications, would add money to ccver the costs associated with this task. Water audits of this magnitude are very expensive. In summary, we can only ask that all bids be rejected until a level playing field has been determined. With as much ambiguity as there has been, it only seem fair to address the above issues. This is not only fair to the bidding contractors, but to the employees and the city itself. Thank you for taking the time to read this letter and we await your response. Sincerely, /n Martin Blankenship General Manager Bennett Landscape C-2 POOLEmSHAFFERY &TTO"EYS Writer's Email: hbraly( )pooleshaffery.com June 20, 2016 VIA U.S. MAIL AND EMAIL SeanL(axpvca.gov Sean Larvenz, Maintenance Superintendent City of Rancho Palos Verdes Department of Public Works 30940 Hawthorne Blvd. Rancho Palos Verdes, CA 90275 Re: City Landscaping, General Maintenance and Litter and Trash Services Dear Mr. Larvenz, This firm represents Stay Green Landscaping, Inc. and we are responding as you requested to the protest letter sent to the City by Bennett Landscape. Let me first point out that Bennett's bid was almost $2 million greater than the low bid from Stay Green and almost $1.8 million greater than the second lowest bidder, Venco Western, Inc. The City staff has reviewed Stay Green's bid and confirmed that is was the lowest qualified bidder for this contract and is prepared to recommend to the City Council the approval of a contract with Stay Green. In reviewing Bennett's letter it appears clear that Bennett was confused and did not totally understand either the bid or the questions and answers which were provided to each bidder. Bennett does not provide any legal justification that the City violated any laws or ordinances in its RFI or its evaluation of the submittals. In addition, Bennett does not provide any factual information which would change the fact that Stay Green is the lowest qualified bidder. However, let me comment on the main issues raised in Bennet's letter. 1. Bennett claims that the Prevailing Wage calculations provided by Stay Green may not be accurate, but provides no facts to support its analysis. Bennett simply raises the concerns that the assumptions used by Stay Green and other lower bidders are dangerous and could lead to an audit from the Department of Industrial Relations and subsequent penalties if violations are found. It is important for you to know that Stay Green has extensive experience in bidding and successfully contracting with jurisdictions which have prevailing wage requirements. As a result, we have not had any problems with this issue and it was this experience which Stay Green used to calculate its bid. 2. In regards to the Contractor supervisor issue in GP -16, Section 26, Stay Green, as did other bidders, understood that this cost was to be shared over the entire group of employees being provided under the contract. This is similar to other bids Stay Green has responded too in other jurisdictions and was not confusing or irregular.

The concern about whether or not a water audit would have to be required, which Bennett believed would be very expensive, is not valid as discussed by City staff in their response to Questions. The vast majority of the City's irrigation system is weather based which will produce monthly reports which can be utilized to comply with the Irrigation Ordinance. Stay Green used that fact in preparing its cost to comply with this provision. Stay Green is excited about the potential of work with the City of Rancho Palos Verdes on this landscaping project and is available to provide any additional information, or answer any further questions, which the City might have regarding its successful bid.
