TITLE: Approval and Award of Three Maintenance and Repair Services
Agreements for As -Needed Electrical Services
/_1 16"t I:7_T91 6
The City of Newport Beach (City) currently utilizes three on -call contractors to perform as -
needed maintenance and electrical services at various City facilities. The current
agreements expired on June 30, 2022. With the completion of a recent Request for
Proposals (RFP) and selection process, staff requests City Council approval to enter into
three separate three-year on -call maintenance and repair services agreements with
Academy Electric Inc., Bay Shore Electric Inc., and A.C. Pozos Electric Corp. to provide
these services.
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 three separate on -call Maintenance and Repair Services Agreements for
three-year terms with Academy Electric Inc., Bay Shore Electric Inc., and A.C. Pozos
Electric Corp. at a total not -to -exceed amount of $164,000 per agreement, and
authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the agreements.
DISCUSSION:
The City maintains the electrical systems at nearly 100 facilities. Many City buildings,
garages, and public restrooms are high -use and near the ocean, requiring more
frequent maintenance and repairs. The humid and salty environment is corrosive to
electrical circuits, exterior electrical devices, and hi -voltage service panels. The City's
current agreements with A.C. Pozos Electrical, KID Electrical, and Academy Electrical
for as -needed repair and maintenance of electrical services expired on June 30, 2022.

A Request for Proposals (RFP) was sent out May 2, 2022, and the City received six
proposals. A committee of three evaluators from the Public Works and Recreation and
Senior Services (RSS) Departments reviewed proposals. Evaluators reviewed technical
expertise based on responsiveness and experience, overall cost based upon labor rates
for a varied range of skilled workers, and rates for afterhours and holiday services. Two
of the six proposals received less than a score of 70 and were removed from
consideration. Of the four remaining, technical ability was comparable; however, there
was a wide range in pricing. The top three rated proposers scored well in technical and
were the most competitive. In an effort to streamline the bidding process Citywide, these
electrical agreements will also serve the Fire, Utilities, Police and RSS Departments who
request maintenance and repairs for various facilities. Therefore, staff recommends
approving three separate agreements with the top three electrical contractors.

Staff recommends the award of three new on -call agreements, each for a three-year term,
for electrical services with Academy Electric Inc., Bay Shore Electric Inc., and A.C. Pozos
Electric Corp. at a total not -to -exceed amount of $164,000 per agreement. Expenses for
our three as -needed maintenance and repair electrical services contractors during the
previous contract term were about $100,000 per year in total. With the recent increases
in fuel prices and other purchases impacted by inflation, staff anticipates expenditures to
increase and is requesting $164,000 per year for the next three years.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The FY 2022-23 budget includes sufficient funding for these services. It will be primarily
expensed to the Maintenance & Repair Building account in the Public Works Department,
0108041-851016, and to the respective maintenance accounts of other departments
requesting electrical services from these contractors.
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.

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.

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

aforesaid.
9.7 The rights and obligations set forth in this Section shall survive the
termination of this Agreement.
10. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR

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.

16.1 Pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Labor Code of the State of
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

In accordance with the California Labor Code (Sections 1770 et seg.), 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

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.
19. OWNERSHIP OF DOCUMENTS
Each and every report, draft, map, record, plan, document and other writing
produced (hereinafter "Documents"), prepared or caused to be prepared by Contractor,

any other party. Contractor shall, at Contractor's expense, provide such Documents to

transcripts or 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

23. CITY'S RIGHT TO EMPLOY OTHER CONTRACTORS
City reserves the right to employ other contractors in connection with the Project.

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

Academy Electric, Inc. Page 9 12
24.2 If subject to the Act and/or Government Code §§ 1090 et seq., 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.

25.1 All notices, demands, requests or approvals, including any change in

26. CLAIMS
26.1 Unless a shorter time is specified elsewhere in this Agreement, before
making its final request for payment under this Agreement, Contractor shall submit to
City, in writing, all claims for compensation under or arising out of this Agreement.
Contractor's acceptance of the final payment shall constitute a waiver of all claims for
compensation under or arising out of this Agreement except those previously made in

Academy Electric, Inc. Page 10
7-13
remaining in 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 Claims Act requirements requiring Contractor/Consultant to file a claim
in strict conformance with the Government Claims Act. To the extent that Contractor's
claim is not a "Claim" as defined in Public Contract Code section 9204 or any successor
statute thereto, Contractor shall be required to file such claim with the City in strict
conformance with the Government Claims Act (Government Code sections 900 et seg.).
27. TERMINATION
27.1 In the event that either party fails or refuses to perform any of the
provisions of this Agreement at the time and in the manner required, that party shall be
deemed in default in the performance of this Agreement. If such default is not cured
within a period of two (2) calendar days, or if more than two (2) calendar days are
reasonably required to cure the default and the defaulting party fails to give adequate
assurance of due performance within two (2) calendar days after receipt of written
notice of default, specifying the nature of such default and the steps necessary to cure
such default, and thereafter diligently take steps to cure the default, the non -defaulting

notice thereof.
27.2 Notwithstanding the above provisions, City shall have the right, at its sole
and absolute discretion and without cause, of terminating this Agreement at any time by
giving no less than seven (7) calendar days' prior written notice to Contractor. In the

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,

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

and hold harmless City, its City Council, boards and commissions, officers, agents,

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

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

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.

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

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.

intended beneficiary of any Work performed by the subcontractor for purposes of

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
A.C. Pozos Electric Corporation Page C-2
7-79
written notice of such cancellation or reduction of coverage, file with the
City evidence of 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.

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.
