TITLE: Approval of a Purchase Agreement with QS Wholesale, LLC for
Junior Lifeguard Uniform Apparel
ABSTRACT:
The Newport Beach Junior Lifeguard Program was established 35 years ago and has
become an extremely popular program. The uniform apparel is an important component
of the program and the existing purchase agreement expires in November 2019. Per the
City's purchasing policies, a request for proposals was completed and the incumbent, QS
Wholesale, LLC has been selected to continue providing the program's uniform apparel.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
a) Determine this action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) and 15060(c)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines because
this action will not result in a physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly;
and
b) Approve a Purchase Agreement with QS Wholesale, LLC for Junior Lifeguard Uniform
Apparel for a not -to -exceed amount of $1,000,000 for a term of three years with an
option for two additional, one-year terms, and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to
execute the agreement.
FUNDING REQUIREMENTS:
The current adopted budget includes sufficient funding for this purchase. The cost of the
uniform apparel is recovered through the program's participant fees. It will be expensed
to the Junior Lifeguards Special Department Supplies account in the Fire Department,
01040405-841015.
DISCUSSION:
Proaram Overview
The Newport Beach Junior Lifeguard Program (Program) proudly celebrated its
35th anniversary this past summer. As one of the original junior lifeguard programs, it is,
and continues to be, a model for similar programs throughout the United States. The
program is managed by the Newport Beach Fire Department, Lifeguard Operations
Division and it is one of the City of Newport Beach's (City) most popular youth -based
educational programs.

Each year, the program runs for seven weeks during the summer and serves
approximately 1,350 local youth ages nine through 15. Program participants learn to
recognize the ever changing and hazardous conditions of the ocean while increasing their
awareness of the ocean environment, developing valuable aquatic skills, learning first-aid
technics and lifesaving methods. This highly anticipated summer program has become a
tradition for local residents with participation from multiple generations of Newport Beach
families.
Aside from providing a safe learning environment for participants, one of the most
important elements of the program is the issued uniform apparel. Junior lifeguards
participate in a high level of physical activities each day of the seven -week program. The
uniforms need be of superior quality to endure the level of activity (running, swimming,
cardio) and the ocean environment (sun, saltwater, sand) throughout the length of the
program. Additionally, the quality of the material, seams, fit and coverage are important
considerations when selecting program uniforms.
Participants are required to wear their uniforms and comply with the established Junior
Lifeguard Uniform Standard. The cost of the uniform apparel is included in the program's
participation fee, which includes a backpack, towel, hat, sweatshirt, t -shirt, and board
shorts. Female participants have the option of selecting a one- or two-piece swimsuit.
Additional apparel items, see Exhibit B of the agreement, are available for participants
and their families to purchase at the per -piece price.
Per the City's fee schedule, and Municipal Code 3.36.030: Cost Recovery for User
Services, the participation fee is $727 per person. The participation fee covers 100% of
the cost of the uniform apparel and approximately 78% of the overall program (staff,
equipment).
RFP Process
Staff developed a Request for Proposals (RFP) solicitation that was publicly posted to the
City's online bidding platform (PlanetBids) and distributed directly to known providers of
the requested uniform and apparel items, yielding three proposals.
The RFP advised bidders that the evaluation and selection process would encompass
two phases. In the first phase (Technical Evaluation), an evaluation panel consisting of
staff from the Fire Department assessed each proposer on factors such as experience,
qualifications and ability to provide uniform and apparel items. The RFP also called for all
proposers to submit product samples with their proposal to allow staff to assess design
quality and construction of the proposed garments.
In accordance with the process instructions from the RFP, only those proposers earning
at least 70% of the technical evaluation score advanced along in the evaluation process.
The second phase (Cost Review) involved the City's Purchasing Agent performing an
evaluation and comparison of each bidder's proposed annual uniform and apparel item
production costs, according to the quantities stated in the RFP.

QS Wholesale, LLC (QS) earned the most points from the panel in the technical
evaluation phase and also proposed lower annual costs to the City. The panel was
impressed with the design, quality and construction of the uniform samples provided by
the company and QS also provided impressive references from other agencies with
similar junior lifeguard programs such as Solana Beach, San Diego and Del Mar.
As the incumbent provider (previous agreements known as Quicksilver, Inc.) of these
apparel items, staff is confident that QS is familiar with the City's program, standards and
expectations. QS has proven for the past several years that it can maintain production
quality and deadlines and have been responsive to requested adjustments in support of
the Newport Beach Junior Lifeguard Program.
Quicksilver is a well-known manufacturer of surf -related clothing and merchandise.
Entering into this purchase agreement for brand merchandise provides quality products
at the wholesale rate. Pieces of the uniforms may have a small, visible Quicksilver logo
and the Quicksilver tag sewn inside. However, the City does not promote the brand and
the Quicksilver logo / name is not included in any of the program materials or marketing
efforts.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Staff recommends the City Council find this action is not subject to the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not
result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment)
and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of the CEQA
Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no
potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly.
NOTICING:
The agenda item has been noticed according to the Brown Act (72 hours in advance of
the meeting at which the City Council considers the item).
