CC SR 20230620 J - Infinity Technology PSA CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: 06/20/2023 AGENDA REPORT AGENDA HEADING: Consent Calendar AGENDA TITLE: Consideration and possible action to award a professional services agreement to Infinity Technologies for geographic information systems (GIS) support services. RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION: (1) Approve a professional services agreement (PSA) with Infinity Technologies for GIS support services for a two-year term with an optional one-year extension to be exercised at the discretion of the Contract Officer not to extend beyond June 30, 2025, at an annual cost of $75,000 and a total not-to-exceed contract sum of $225,000, and (2) Authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the PSA in a form approved by the City Attorney. FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact to occur in Fiscal Year 2022-23. The $75,000 is included in the Fiscal Year 2023-24 budget under professional services for the Community Development Department. Amount Budgeted: $75,000 Additional Appropriation: N/A Account Number(s): 101-400-4110-5101 (General Fund – CDD Admin/Professional Tech Svcs) ORIGINATED BY: Lisa Garrett, Administrative Analyst II REVIEWED BY: Octavio Silva, Interim Director of Community Development APPROVED BY: Ara Mihranian, AICP, City Manager ATTACHED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS: A. Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with Infinity Technologies (page A-1) BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION: GIS is a computer-based tool designed to capture, store, manipulate, analyze, manage, and present all types of data associated with geographical references and points. Currently, the City utilizes ArcGIS software by ESRI to provide this essential information to Staff, residents, and businesses. The GIS software is also integrated with several 1 other City applications, including the City’s permitting system and the Public Works Department service tracking system, as well as the City’s MyRPV app. On November 22, 2021, the City entered into a PSA with Infinity Technologies for GIS support services, with amendments to the agreement in March 2022 and August 2022 to work with Staff and to upgrade the City’s GIS servers. Since the initial agreement date, Infinity Technologies has served as the GIS main support in implementing an upgraded ArcGIS Enterprise platform to continue growing the Rancho Palos Verdes GIS into a valuable trusted decision-making tool. This includes data integration with asset management, code enforcement, and permitting systems in order to develop new informational layers. In addition to working with the Community Development Department, Infinity Technologies has worked closely with the Public Works and Recreation and Parks Departments to update GIS layers needed to implement City Works for tracking of maintenance requests and the management of open space areas throughout the City. As a specialized service, a Request for Proposal was not issued as part of this PSA because the Community Development Department wishes to continue its partnership with Infinity Technologies through critical upgrading and migration stages of the City’s GIS to an ArcGIS Enterprise platform. A disruption in the City’s GIS support services at this time would set back Infinity Technologies’ efforts to finalize development of the internal and public facing WebGIS applications and migration ste ps of GIS integration services with other third-party systems. As part of the continued partnership and support, Infinity Technologies will work closely with Staff on a wide range of projects including, but not limited, to: • ArcGIS Enterprise Upgrade and Migration- Finalize development of internal and public facing WebGIS applications and migration steps of GIS integration. • New WebGIS Applications- Working with Staff to identify new WebGIS applications that would help Staff and the public to communicate geographic related information. • GIS Integration with Third-Party Business Systems- Working with Staff and software vendors to integrate GIS data and services with business systems that track infrastructure assets (CityWorks), permitting (TrackIT), and Code Enforcement. • GIS Data Layer Updates and Development- Ensuring GIS data layers are updated with the latest geometry and attribute changes. This includes quarterly updates of parcel information from the Los Angeles Region Imagery Acquisition Consortium (LARIAC), updated aerial imagery from LARIAC, Planning Division related land use data, and Public Works assets. • Customs Map and Reports- Create custom mapping products for wall maps, presentations, or reports. 2 • Software Maintenance and Troubleshooting- ArcGIS Enterprise, ArcGIS Online, WebGIS Applications, coyote reporting, and automated routines will need regular maintenance to ensure the functionality and systems are performing as expected. • Training and Mentoring- Provide training to Staff in the use of GIS technology via one- on-one virtual meetings. The partnership with Infinity Technologies has proven to be successful in the implementation and maintenance of the City’s GIS software. The continued collaboration with Infinity Technologies will ensure that the City’s GIS serves as a useful tool in the protection and mapping of City resources including sensitive habitat, species, and coastline. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: GIS Coordinator Position The organizational chart for the City’s Community Development Department includes a full- time GIS Coordinator position. The position has been vacant since 2021, and is proposed to be frozen through the FY 2023-24 City budget as the Department continues to work with Infinity Technologies on the ongoing services and projects to be completed this coming year. If conditions or assignments change throughout the course of the subject PSA, Provision 7.7 allows the City to terminate with or without cause. CONCLUSION: Staff recommends that the City Council approve a PSA with Infinity Technologies for GIS support services for a two-year term with an optional one-year extension and to authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the PSA in a form approved by the City Attorney. ALTERNATIVES: In addition to the Staff recommendation, the following alternative actions are available for the City Council’s consideration: 1. Do not approve the agreement, which would suspend GIS support services, thereby impacting ongoing GIS support, activities, and impact service delivery. 2. Take other action, as deemed appropriate. 3 01203.0005/893874.1 1 PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT By and Between CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES and INFINITY TECHNOLOGIES A-1 01203.0005/893874.1 AGREEMENT FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES BETWEEN THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES AND INFINITY TECHNOLOGIES THIS AGREEMENT FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES (“Agreement”) is made and entered into on June 20, 2023 by and between the CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES, a California municipal corporation (“City”) and INFINITY TECHNOLOGIES, a California corporation (“Consultant”).

Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this section are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits or other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any insurance. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not intended by any party or insured to be all inclusive, or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a waiver of any type. If the Consultant maintains higher limits than the minimums shown above, the City requires and shall be entitled to coverage for the higher limits maintained by the Consultant. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the City. (i)Notice of cancellation.

(j)Additional insured status. General liability policies shall provide or be endorsed to provide that City and its officers, officials, employees, and agents, and volunteers shall be additional insureds under such policies. This provision shall also apply to any excess/umbrella liability policies. A-12 01203.0005/893874.1 12 (k)Prohibition of undisclosed coverage limitations. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been first submitted to City and approved of in writing. (l)Separation of insureds. A severability of interests provision must apply for all additional insureds ensuring that Consultant’s insurance shall apply separately to each insured against whom claim is made or suit is brought, except with respect to the insurer’s limits of liability. The policy(ies) shall not contain any cross-liability exclusions. (m)Pass through clause. Consultant agrees to ensure that its subconsultants, subcontractors, and any other party involved with the project who is brought onto or involved in the project by Consultant, provide the same minimum insurance coverage and endorsements required of Consultant. Consultant agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section. Consultant agrees that upon request, all agreements with consultants, subcontractors, and others engaged in the project will be submitted to City for review. (n)Agency’s right to revise specifications. The City reserves the right at any time during the term of the contract to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the Consultant 90 (ninety) days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to the Consultant, the City and Consultant may renegotiate Consultant’s compensation. (o)Self-insured retentions. Any self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by City. City reserves the right to require that self-insured retentions be eliminated, lowered, or replaced by a deductible.

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 15 (fifteen) 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 A-16 01203.0005/893874.1 16 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 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.

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. 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 of termination without cause pursuant to this Section, the City need not provide the Consultant with the opportunity to cure pursuant to Section 7.2. 7.8 Termination for Default of Party. If termination is due to the failure of the other Party to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement: (a)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. (b)Consultant may, after compliance with the provisions of Section 7.2, terminate the Agreement upon written notice to the City‘s Contract Officer.
