TITLE: Approval of Agreement for On -Call Building Maintenance and Repair
Services with Carmody Construction Services, Inc. and Ramco
Construction Services, Inc.
ABSTRACT:
The City of Newport Beach (City) Public Works Department is responsible for
maintenance and repair of the City's public buildings and facilities, including restroom
buildings at City parks and beaches. Five City staff members handle the majority of
day-to-day site inspections and maintenance and repairs. Occasionally contract work is
required when repair projects are more complex and require the expertise of a licensed
contractor to complete. The City's previous on-call building maintenance agreements with
Ramco, John M. Rabun, and TL Veterans expired on June 25, 2021. Staff issued a
Request for Proposals (RFP) for on-call building maintenance and repair services and
received three proposals. Staff recommends City Council approval of three-year
agreements with two of these firms, Carmody Construction Services, Inc. and Ramco
Construction Services, Inc.
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 Building Maintenance and Repair Service Agreements with Carmody
Construction Services, Inc. and Ramco Construction Services, Inc. for three-year
terms and a total not -to -exceed amount of $150,000 per agreement, and authorize the
Mayor and City Clerk to execute the agreements.
DISCUSSION:
The Public Works Department utilizes on-call contractors to perform a variety of
as -needed building repairs and maintenance. Recent examples of these repair projects
include tradesman work such as demolition, carpentry, painting, plumbing, electrical
repairs, flooring repairs, and assembly of manufactured items.

The City recently issued RFP 22-06 for On -Call General Contractor Building Maintenance
and Repair Services and received three proposals. City staff from the Police, Public
Works, and Utilities Departments evaluated the proposals based upon the following
criteria: experience, ability to provide services, and relevant qualifications. The Finance
Department performed the cost evaluation. Two of the proposals earned the minimum
score required to be qualified.
Carmody Construction and Ramco Construction received the highest scores, have
previous experience and contracts with the City, and are qualified to perform an array of
projects.
There are approximately 100 structures utilized by the City and the public that require the
availability of licensed contractors to provide unforeseen and emergency repairs. The
City's Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Facilities Maintenance Master Plan (FMMP)
budget is focused on planned, major repairs and maintenance of the facilities. City staff
and on-call general contractors are needed to address unforeseen repairs and
reoccurring maintenance, including some pending repair projects that do not typically fall
within the FMMP workload to maintain facilities' functions and extend the life of each
structure. An example of such work is minor repairs that will be needed soon for six beach
restrooms that include partitions, doors, commodes, urinals and surface repairs to floors
and ceilings. Estimated repairs cost should be around $25,000 at each location. Taking
this need into consideration, and looking back at the work and expenses from the previous
three years, staff now recommends awarding two, separate, three-year maintenance and
repair agreements, with a not -to -exceed amount of $150,000 per agreement. Each
agreement will be supervised by the Facility Maintenance section of the Public Works
Department.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The adopted budget includes sufficient funding for this contract. It will be expensed to the
Facility Maintenance and Repair Building account, 0108041-851016, and the Back Bay
Science Center Building Maintenance and Repair account, 0108041-851031.
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.

judgments, fines, penalties, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation,

(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.

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.

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.
Ray Brian Carmody dba Carmody Construction Company Page 5 5-8

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
Industrial Relations has ascertained the general prevailing rate of per diem wages in the
locality in which the Work is to be performed for each craft, classification, or type of
workman or mechanic needed to execute the Agreement. A copy of said determination
is available by calling the prevailing wage hotline number (415) 703-4774, and requesting
one from the Department of Industrial Relations. The Contractor is required to obtain the
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.
16.2 Unless otherwise exempt by law, Contractor warrants that no contractor or
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
currently registered and qualified to perform "public work" pursuant to California Labor
Code section 1725.5 or any successor statute thereto and that no contractor or
subcontractor will engage in the performance of the Services unless currently registered
and qualified to perform public work.

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
Ray Brian Carmody dba Carmody Construction Company Page 7 5-10
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.

produced (hereinafter "Documents"), prepared or caused to be prepared by Contractor,
its officers, employees, agents and subcontractors, in the course of implementing this
Agreement, shall become the exclusive property of City, and City shall have the sole right
to use such materials in its discretion without further compensation to Contractor or any
other party. Contractor shall, at Contractor's expense, provide such Documents to City

performed under this Agreement. Contractor shall maintain complete and accurate
records with respect to the costs incurred under this Agreement and any Services,
expenditures and disbursements charged to City, for a minimum period of three (3) years,
or for any longer period required by law, from the date of final payment to Contractor
under this Agreement. All such records and invoices shall be clearly identifiable.

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

seg., which (1) require such persons to disclose any financial interest that may
foreseeably be materially affected by the Work performed under this Agreement, and (2)
prohibit such persons from making, or participating in making, decisions that will
foreseeably financially affect such interest.
24.2 If subject to the Act and/or Government Code §§ 1090 et seg., Contractor
shall conform to all requirements therein. Failure to do so constitutes a material breach
and is grounds for immediate termination of this Agreement by City. Contractor shall
indemnify and hold harmless City for any and all claims for damages resulting from
Contractor's violation of this Section.
25. NOTICES
25.1 All notices, demands, requests or approvals, including any change in

Ray Brian Carmody dba Carmody Construction Company Page 9 5-12
acceptance of the final payment shall constitute a waiver of all claims for compensation

Contractor and City expressly agree that in addition to any claims filing requirements set

dispute after completion of the dispute resolution process provided for in Public Contract
Code section 9204 or any successor statute thereto shall be subject to the Government

following:

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

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
insurance and coverage shall be available to the City.

and approved by City. City reserves the right to require that self-insured

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.

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

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.

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.
Emilio Ramirez dba RAMCO General Engineering Contractors Page 5 5-33

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

insurance evidence in compliance with these requirements to waive their
right of recovery prior to a loss. Contractor hereby waives its own right of
recovery against City, and shall require similar written express waivers from
each of its subcontractors.
B. Additional Insured Status. All liability policies including general liability,
products and completed operations, excess liability, pollution liability, and
automobile liability, if required, shall provide or be endorsed to provide that
City, its City Council, boards and commissions, officers, agents, volunteers
and employees shall be included as insureds under such policies.
C. Primary and Non Contributory. All liability coverage shall apply on a primary
basis and shall not require contribution from any insurance or self-insurance
maintained by City.
D. Notice of Cancellation. All policies shall provide City with thirty (30)
calendar days notice of cancellation (except for nonpayment for which ten
(10) calendar days notice is required) or nonrenewal of coverage for each
required coverage.
5. Additional Agreements Between the Parties. The parties hereby agree to the
following:
A. Evidence of Insurance. Contractor shall provide certificates of insurance to
City as evidence of the insurance coverage required herein, along with a
waiver of subrogation endorsement for workers' compensation and other
endorsements as specified herein for each coverage. Insurance certificates
and endorsement must be approved by City's Risk Manager prior to
commencement of performance. Current certification of insurance shall be
kept on file with City at all times during the term of this Agreement. The
certificates and endorsements for each insurance policy shall be signed by
a person authorized by that insurer to bind coverage on its behalf. At least
fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration of any such policy, evidence of
insurance showing that such insurance coverage has been renewed or
extended shall be filed with the City. If such coverage is cancelled or
reduced, Contractor shall, within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice
of such cancellation or reduction of coverage, file with the City evidence of
Emilio Ramirez dba RAMCO General Engineering Contractors Page C-2 5-45
insurance showing that the required insurance has been reinstated or has
been provided through another insurance company or companies. City
reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required
insurance policies, at any time.
B. City's Right to Revise Requirements. City reserves the right at any time
during the term of the Agreement to change the amounts and types of
insurance required by giving Contractor sixty (60) calendar days advance
written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial
additional cost to Contractor, City and Contractor may renegotiate
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
insurance and coverage shall be available to the City.
F. 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. Self-
insurance will not be considered to comply with these requirements unless
approved by City.
Emilio Ramirez dba RAMCO General Engineering Contractors Page C-3 5-46
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.
I. 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.
