TITLE: Award of On -Call Roofing Maintenance and Repair Services
Agreements with Best Contracting, Inc. and C.I. Services, Inc.
ABSTRACT:
The Public Works Department is responsible for the maintenance and repair of public
buildings and facilities citywide, including restroom buildings at City of Newport Beach
(City) parks and beaches. The City's two current on-call agreements with Best
Contracting, Inc., and C.I. Services Inc. expired on January 31, 2021. The Facilities
Maintenance Section of the Public Works Department recommends City Council approval
of agreements with two new on-call roofing contractors to provide needed routine
maintenance and repairs services, while also providing that emergency roofing needs can
be met.
RECOMMENDATION:
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 On -Call Roofing Maintenance and Repair Service Agreements with Best
Contracting, Inc., and with C.I. Services Inc., with each agreement being for a
five-year term and total amount not -to -exceed $120,000 each, and authorize the
Mayor and City Clerk to execute the agreements.
DISCUSSION:
The Public Works Facilities Maintenance Section is responsible for the maintenance and
repair of buildings citywide, which includes the roofs, awnings, rain gutters, downspouts
and sky lights. In the winter season, heavy rainstorms can often create emergency roof
repairs at multiple locations at the same time. During storm events, it can be difficult to
get an immediate response from contractors due to tremendous demand for service. To
ensure a quick response and repair, staff requests agreements be put in place with two
on-call roofing services contractors.

The roofing contractors would provide the following services: Removal and repair of
damaged roof shingles, flashing and vents; detection and repair of water leaks; and
clearing clogged rain gutters, downspouts, and roof drains. The City of Newport Beach's
two current on-call roofing agreements with Best Contracting, Inc., and C.I. Services, Inc.
expired on January 31, 2021.
RFP No. 21-33 was published in October 2020, and four proposals were received. The
evaluation panel assigned to City of Newport Beach RFP No. 21-33 (On -Call Roof Repair
Services) recently convened to evaluate the proposals submitted based on the following
criteria:
• The contractor's qualifications and recent experience in conducting work for
contracts of similar scope, complexity, and magnitude, particularly for government
agencies; and
• Proposed project costs.
An evaluation panel, consisting of three staff members, reviewed and rated each
proposer's technical qualifications using the metrics described above. Two of the
proposals earned a minimum of 70% of the Technical Score in order to advance in the
selection process to have their costs reviewed, as described in the RFP. The following
table illustrates the results of the evaluation process:

Upon completion of this review and ranking, the Public Works Department requests
approval to enter into two separate On -Call Roofing Services Agreements. The first is
with C.I. Services, Inc. (Attachment A) and the second is with Best Contracting Services,
Inc. (Attachment B). The award of multiple on-call agreements for building trades such as
roofing ensures that the City can address emergent and planned work in critical areas in
a timely manner instead of being held to one contractor's schedule and availability. When
a need for services arises, staff requests letter proposals from each on-call contractor to
ensure best per project pricing.
Based on the last three fiscal years, the Public Works Department spent approximately
$12,000 per year doing scheduled maintenance, and $15,000 to $35,000 per year for
on-call roofing services. Future costs will primarily consist of routine maintenance and
smaller repair projects. Some buildings at the Utilities and Corporation Yards, many park
and beach restrooms, and various out -building and utility sheds have exceeded the
expected service life and are ready for major repairs. Currently, the Capital Improvement
Program (CIP) has recently completed re -roofing of Buildings C and D at the Corporation
Yard. The next phase of CIP re -roofing work includes Buildings A, B, and H.

Once these buildings are completed, a significant number of needed repairs will have
been addressed. In addition, warranties are in place for materials and workmanship
which will reduce costs for on-call repairs at those locations, affording staff the ability to
focus efforts on other buildings and keeping contract and maintenance costs at a
manageable level and within the forecasted budget.
Staff expects to spend an average of $45,000 annually maintaining and repairing other
various roof structures throughout the city. Major roofing repair projects are being
addressed with CIP projects, and the intent of these agreements is to focus on minor
repairs and routine maintenance. At this time, staff recommends awarding two on-call
agreements for a five-year term and a total not -to -exceed amount of $120,000 each.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The adopted budget includes sufficient funding for the contracts. It will be expensed to
the appropriate contract and maintenance accounts for the respective facility in the Public
Works Department Operating Budget.
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).

and the Schedule of Billing Rates attached hereto as Exhibit B and incorporated herein
by reference. Except as otherwise provided herein, no rate changes shall be made during

C.I. Services, Inc. Page 2 9-5
4.2 Upon the first anniversary of the Effective Date and upon each anniversary
of the Effective Date thereafter, the billing rates set forth in Exhibit B ("Billing Rates") shall
be adjusted in proportion to changes in the Consumer Price Index, subject to the
maximum adjustment set forth below. Such adjustment shall be made by multiplying the
Billing Rates in Exhibit B by a fraction, the numerator of which is the value of the
Consumer Price Index for the calendar month three (3) months preceding the calendar
month for which such adjustment is to be made, and the denominator of which is the value
of the Consumer Price Index for the same calendar month immediately prior to Effective
Date. The Consumer Price Index to be used in such calculation is the "Consumer Price
Index, All Items, 1982-84=100 for All Urban Consumers (CPI -U)", for the Los Angeles -
Riverside -Orange County Metropolitan Area, published by the United States Department
of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. If both an official index and one or more unofficial
indices are published, the official index shall be used. If said Consumer Price Index is no
longer published at the adjustment date, it shall be constructed by conversion tables
included in such new index. In no event, however, shall the amount payable under this
Agreement be reduced below the Billing Rates in effect immediately preceding such
adjustment. The maximum adjustment increase to the Billing Rates, for any year where
an adjustment is made pursuant to this Section, shall not exceed the Consumer Price
Index or 2.0% of the Billing Rates in effect immediately preceding such adjustment,
whichever is less.
4.3 Contractor shall submit monthly invoices to City describing the Work
performed the preceding month. Contractor's bills shall include the name and/or
classification of employee who performed the Work, a brief description of the Services
performed and/or the specific task in the Scope of Services to which it relates, the date
the Services were performed, the number of hours spent on all Work billed on an hourly
basis, and a description of any reimbursable expenditures. City shall pay Contractor no
later than thirty (30) calendar days after approval of the monthly invoice by City staff.
4.4 City shall reimburse Contractor only for those costs or expenses specifically
identified in Exhibit B to this Agreement and the Letter Proposal, or specifically approved
in writing in advance by City.
4.5 Contractor shall not receive any compensation for Extra Work performed
without the prior written authorization of City. As used herein, "Extra Work" means any
Work that is determined by City to be necessary for the proper completion of the Project,
but which is not included within the Scope of Services and which the parties did not
reasonably anticipate would be necessary at the execution of this Agreement.
Compensation for any authorized Extra Work shall be paid in accordance with Exhibit B

regardless of whether any insurance policies are applicable. The policy limits do not act
as a limitation upon the amount of indemnification to be provided by Contractor.

performance of the Work by Contractor or its agents.

aforesaid.

termination of this Agreement.
10. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR
It is understood that City retains Contractor on an independent contractor basis
and Contractor is not an agent or employee of City. The manner and means of conducting
the Work are under the control of Contractor, except to the extent they are limited by
statute, rule or regulation and the expressed terms of this Agreement. No civil service
status or other right of employment shall accrue to Contractor or its employees. Nothing
in this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute approval for Contractor or any of
Contractor's employees or agents, to be the agents or employees of City. Contractor
shall have the responsibility for and control over the means of performing the Work,
provided that Contractor is in compliance with the terms of this Agreement. Anything in
this Agreement that may appear to give City the right to direct Contractor as to the details
of the performance of the Work or to exercise a measure of control over Contractor shall
mean only that Contractor shall follow the desires of City with respect to the results of the
Services.
11. COOPERATION

holidays and overtime Work for each craft or type of workman needed to execute the
Work contemplated under the Agreement shall be paid to all workmen employed on the

partner or joint venturer or syndicate member or cotenant if Contractor is a partnership or
joint -venture or syndicate or cotenancy, which shall result in changing the control of
Contractor. Control means fifty percent (50%) or more of the voting power or twenty-five
percent (25%) or more of the assets of the corporation, partnership or joint -venture.
18. SUBCONTRACTING
The subcontractors authorized by City, if any, to perform Work on this Project are
identified in Exhibit A and the Letter Proposal. Contractor shall be fully responsible to
City for all acts and omissions of any subcontractor. Nothing in this Agreement shall
create any contractual relationship between City and any subcontractor nor shall it create
any obligation on the part of City to pay or to see to the payment of any monies due to
any such subcontractor other than as otherwise required by law. City is an intended
beneficiary of any Work performed by the subcontractor for purposes of establishing a
duty of care between the subcontractor and City. Except as specifically authorized herein,
the Services to be provided under this Agreement shall not be otherwise assigned,
transferred, contracted or subcontracted out without the prior written approval of City.
19. OWNERSHIP OF DOCUMENTS
Each and every report, draft, map, record, plan, document and other writing

copies of such records and invoices during regular business hours. Contractor shall allow
inspection of all Work, data, Documents, proceedings and activities related to the
Agreement for a period of three (3) years from the date of final payment to Contractor
under this Agreement.
22. WITHHOLDINGS
City may withhold payment to Contractor of any disputed sums until satisfaction of
the dispute with respect to such payment. Such withholding shall not be deemed to
constitute a failure to pay according to the terms of this Agreement. Contractor shall not
discontinue Work as a result of such withholding. Contractor shall have an immediate
right to appeal to the City Manager or his/her designee with respect to such disputed
sums. Contractor shall be entitled to receive interest on any withheld sums at the rate of
return that City earned on its investments during the time period, from the date of
withholding of any amounts found to have been improperly withheld.

seq., which (1) require such persons to disclose any financial interest that may

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 Contractor maintains higher
limits than the minimums shown above, the City requires and shall be
entitled to coverage for higher limits maintained by the Contractor. Any
available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of

performance under this Agreement, and that involve or may involve
coverage under any of the required liability policies. City assumes no
obligation or liability by such notice, but has the right (but not the duty) to
monitor the handling of any such claim or claims if they are likely to involve
City.
Contractor's Insurance. Contractor shall also procure and maintain, at its
own cost and expense, any additional kinds of insurance, which in its own
judgment may be necessary for its proper protection and prosecution of the

and Contractor shall perform the Services in accordance with the schedule included in

shall be performed to completion in a diligent and timely manner. The failure by
Contractor to strictly adhere to the schedule set forth in Exhibit A and the Letter Proposal,
if any, or perform the Services in a diligent and timely manner may result in termination
of this Agreement by City.

delays due to causes beyond Contractor's reasonable control. However, in the case of
any such delay in the Services to be provided for the Project, each party hereby agrees
to provide notice within two (2) calendar days of the occurrence causing the delay to the
other party so that all delays can be addressed.

in writing to the Project Administrator as defined herein, not later than two (2) calendar

in the most expedient and appropriate manner under the circumstances, by fax, hand -
delivery or mail.
4. COMPENSATION TO CONTRACTOR
4.1 City shall pay Contractor for the Services on a time and expense not -to -
exceed basis in accordance with the provisions of this Section and the Letter Proposal
and the Schedule of Billing Rates attached hereto as Exhibit B and incorporated herein
by reference. Except as otherwise provided herein, no rate changes shall be made during
the term of this Agreement without the prior written approval of City. Contractor's

Best Contracting Services, Inc. Page 2 9-34
4.2 Upon the first anniversary of the Effective Date and upon each anniversary
of the Effective Date thereafter, the billing rates set forth in Exhibit B ("Billing Rates") shall
be adjusted in proportion to changes in the Consumer Price Index, subject to the
maximum adjustment set forth below. Such adjustment shall be made by multiplying the
Billing Rates in Exhibit B by a fraction, the numerator of which is the value of the
Consumer Price Index for the calendar month three (3) months preceding the calendar
month for which such adjustment is to be made, and the denominator of which is the value
of the Consumer Price Index for the same calendar month immediately prior to Effective
Date. The Consumer Price Index to be used in such calculation is the "Consumer Price
Index, All Items, 1982-84=100 for All Urban Consumers (CPI -U)", for the Los Angeles -
Riverside -Orange County Metropolitan Area, published by the United States Department
of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. If both an official index and one or more unofficial
indices are published, the official index shall be used. If said Consumer Price Index is no
longer published at the adjustment date, it shall be constructed by conversion tables
included in such new index. In no event, however, shall the amount payable under this
Agreement be reduced below the Billing Rates in effect immediately preceding such
adjustment. The maximum adjustment increase to the Billing Rates, for any year where
an adjustment is made pursuant to this Section, shall not exceed the Consumer Price
Index or 2.0% of the Billing Rates in effect immediately preceding such adjustment,
whichever is less.
4.3 Contractor shall submit monthly invoices to City describing the Work
performed the preceding month. Contractor's bills shall include the name and/or
classification of employee who performed the Work, a brief description of the Services
performed and/or the specific task in the Scope of Services to which it relates, the date
the Services were performed, the number of hours spent on all Work billed on an hourly
basis, and a description of any reimbursable expenditures. City shall pay Contractor no
later than thirty (30) calendar days after approval of the monthly invoice by City staff.
4.4 City shall reimburse Contractor only for those costs or expenses specifically
identified in Exhibit B to this Agreement and the Letter Proposal, or specifically approved
in writing in advance by City.
4.5 Contractor shall not receive any compensation for Extra Work performed
without the prior written authorization of City. As used herein, "Extra Work" means any
Work that is determined by City to be necessary for the proper completion of the Project,
but which is not included within the Scope of Services and which the parties did not
reasonably anticipate would be necessary at the execution of this Agreement.
Compensation for any authorized Extra Work shall be paid in accordance with Exhibit B
and the Letter Proposal.
5. PROJECT MANAGER

phases of the Project. This Project Manager shall be available to City at all reasonable

performing Services under this Agreement. Any deviation from the materials described
in Exhibit A shall not be installed or utilized unless approved in advance and in writing by

contractors, or governmental agencies.

9.1 City and all officers, employees and representatives thereof shall not be
responsible in any manner for any loss or damage to any of the materials or other things
used or employed in performing the Project or for injury to or death of any person as a
result of Contractor's performance of the Services required hereunder; or for damage to
property from any cause arising from the performance of the Project by Contractor, or its
subcontractors, or its workers, or anyone employed by either of them.
9.2 Contractor shall be responsible for any liability imposed by law and for
injuries to or death of any person or damage to property resulting from defects,
obstructions or from any cause arising from Contractor's Work on the Project, or the Work
of any subcontractor or supplier selected by Contractor.
9.3 To the fullest extent permitted by law, Contractor shall indemnify, defend
and hold harmless City, its City Council, boards and commissions, officers, agents,
volunteers, and employees (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties") from and against any
and all claims (including, without limitation, claims for bodily injury, death or damage to
property), demands, obligations, damages, actions, causes of action, suits, losses,
judgments, fines, penalties, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation,
attorneys' fees, disbursements and court costs) of every kind and nature whatsoever
(individually, a Claim; collectively, "Claims"), which may arise from or in any manner relate
(directly or indirectly) to any breach of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, any
Work performed or Services provided under this Agreement including, without limitation,
defects in workmanship or materials or Contractor's presence or activities conducted on
the Project (including the negligent and/or willful acts, errors and/or omissions of
Contractor, its principals, officers, agents, employees, vendors, suppliers, consultants,
subcontractors, anyone employed directly or indirectly by any of them or for whose acts
they may be liable or any or all of them).
9.4 Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall be construed to require
Contractor to indemnify the Indemnified Parties from any Claim arising from the sole
negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Parties. Nothing in this indemnity shall
be construed as authorizing any award of attorneys' fees in any action on or to enforce
the terms of this Agreement. This indemnity shall apply to all claims and liability
regardless of whether any insurance policies are applicable. The policy limits do not act
as a limitation upon the amount of indemnification to be provided by Contractor.
9.5 Contractor shall perform all Work in a manner to minimize public
inconvenience and possible hazard, to restore other work areas to their original condition
and former usefulness as soon as possible, and to protect public and private property.

performance of the Work by Contractor or its agents.
9.6 To the extent authorized by law, as much of the money due Contractor
under and by virtue of the Agreement as shall be considered necessary by City may be
retained by it until disposition has been made of such suits or claims for damages as
aforesaid.
9.7 The rights and obligations set forth in this Section shall survive the
termination of this Agreement.
10. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR
It is understood that City retains Contractor on an independent contractor basis
and Contractor is not an agent or employee of City. The manner and means of conducting
the Work are under the control of Contractor, except to the extent they are limited by
statute, rule or regulation and the expressed terms of this Agreement. No civil service
status or other right of employment shall accrue to Contractor or its employees. Nothing
in this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute approval for Contractor or any of
Contractor's employees or agents, to be the agents or employees of City. Contractor
shall have the responsibility for and control over the means of performing the Work,
provided that Contractor is in compliance with the terms of this Agreement. Anything in
this Agreement that may appear to give City the right to direct Contractor as to the details
of the performance of the Work or to exercise a measure of control over Contractor shall
mean only that Contractor shall follow the desires of City with respect to the results of the
Services.
11. COOPERATION
Contractor agrees to work closely and cooperate fully with City's designated
Project Administrator and any other agencies that may have jurisdiction or interest in the
Work to be performed. City agrees to cooperate with Contractor on the Project.

of the type, amounts, terms and conditions described in the Insurance Requirements
attached hereto as Exhibit C, and incorporated herein by reference.

California, not less than the general prevailing rate of per diem wages including legal
holidays and overtime Work for each craft or type of workman needed to execute the
Work contemplated under the Agreement shall be paid to all workmen employed on the
Work to be done according to the Agreement by the Contractor and any subcontractor.
In accordance with the California Labor Code (Sections 1770 et seq.), the Director of

wage determinations from the Department of Industrial Relations and post at the job site
the prevailing rate or per diem wages. It shall be the obligation of the Contractor or any
subcontractor under him/her to comply with all State of California labor laws, rules and
regulations and the parties agree that the City shall not be liable for any violation thereof.

subcontractor was listed on the bid proposal for the Services that it is not currently
registered and qualified to perform public work. Contractor further warrants that it is

subcontracted out without the prior written approval of City. Any of the following shall be
construed as an assignment: The sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition of any
of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Contractor, or of the interest of any general
partner or joint venturer or syndicate member or cotenant if Contractor is a partnership or
joint -venture or syndicate or cotenancy, which shall result in changing the control of
Contractor. Control means fifty percent (50%) or more of the voting power or twenty-five
percent (25%) or more of the assets of the corporation, partnership or joint -venture.
18. SUBCONTRACTING
The subcontractors authorized by City, if any, to perform Work on this Project are
identified in Exhibit A and the Letter Proposal. Contractor shall be fully responsible to
City for all acts and omissions of any subcontractor. Nothing in this Agreement shall
create any contractual relationship between City and any subcontractor nor shall it create
any obligation on the part of City to pay or to see to the payment of any monies due to
any such subcontractor other than as otherwise required by law. City is an intended
beneficiary of any Work performed by the subcontractor for purposes of establishing a
duty of care between the subcontractor and City. Except as specifically authorized herein,
the Services to be provided under this Agreement shall not be otherwise assigned,
transferred, contracted or subcontracted out without the prior written approval of City.

copies of such records and invoices during regular business hours. Contractor shall allow
inspection of all Work, data, Documents, proceedings and activities related to the
Agreement for a period of three (3) years from the date of final payment to Contractor
under this Agreement.
22. WITHHOLDINGS
City may withhold payment to Contractor of any disputed sums until satisfaction of
the dispute with respect to such payment. Such withholding shall not be deemed to
constitute a failure to pay according to the terms of this Agreement. Contractor shall not
discontinue Work as a result of such withholding. Contractor shall have an immediate
right to appeal to the City Manager or his/her designee with respect to such disputed
sums. Contractor shall be entitled to receive interest on any withheld sums at the rate of

Contractor's compensation.
C. Right to Review Subcontracts. Contractor agrees that upon request, all
agreements with subcontractors or others with whom Contractor enters into
contracts with on behalf of City will be submitted to City for review. Failure
of City to request copies of such agreements will not impose any liability on
City, or its employees. Contractor shall require and verify that all
subcontractors maintain insurance meeting all the requirements stated
herein, and Contractor shall ensure that City is an additional insured on
insurance required from subcontractors. For CGL coverage,
subcontractors shall provide coverage with a format at least as broad as CG
20 38 04 13.
D. Enforcement of Agreement Provisions. Contractor acknowledges and
agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of City to inform
Contractor of non-compliance with any requirement imposes no additional
obligations on City nor does it waive any rights hereunder.
E. Requirements not Limiting. 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 Contractor maintains higher
limits than the minimums shown above, the City requires and shall be
entitled to coverage for higher limits maintained by the Contractor. Any
available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of

G. City Remedies for Non -Compliance. If Contractor or any subcontractor fails
to provide and maintain insurance as required herein, then City shall have
the right but not the obligation, to purchase such insurance, to terminate this
Agreement, or to suspend Contractor's right to proceed until proper
evidence of insurance is provided. Any amounts paid by City shall, at City's
sole option, be deducted from amounts payable to Contractor or reimbursed
by Contractor upon demand.
H. Timely Notice of Claims. Contractor shall give City prompt and timely notice
of claims made or suits instituted that arise out of or result from Contractor's
performance under this Agreement, and that involve or may involve
coverage under any of the required liability policies. City assumes no
obligation or liability by such notice, but has the right (but not the duty) to
monitor the handling of any such claim or claims if they are likely to involve
City.
Contractor's Insurance. Contractor shall also procure and maintain, at its
own cost and expense, any additional kinds of insurance, which in its own
judgment may be necessary for its proper protection and prosecution of the
Work.
