TITLE: Award of On -Call Plumbing Maintenance and Repair Services
Agreements with Pacific Plumbing of Southern California, Verne's
Plumbing, Inc., and ACCO Engineered Systems
ABSTRACT:
The Public Works Department is responsible for the maintenance and repair of public
buildings and facilities citywide, including standalone restroom buildings at City of
Newport Beach (City) parks and beaches. Although the City's two current on -call
agreements will not expire until February 1, 2024, the contract not -to -exceed amount of
$155,000 per agreement will very likely be exceeded before then. Therefore, staff
published a recent Request for Proposals (RFP) and selected three plumbing contractors.
Staff recommends approving three on -call agreements with contractors to ensure
emergency plumbing needs are met, while also providing routine maintenance and
repairs.
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 On -Call Maintenance and Repair Service Agreements with Verne's Plumbing
Inc., Pacific Plumbing of Santa Ana (dba Pacific Plumbing of Southern California), and
ACCO Engineered Systems Inc., with each agreement being for a term of three years
and total not -to -exceed amount of $200,000 per agreement, and authorize the Mayor
and City Clerk to execute the agreements.
DISCUSSION:
The Public Works Department is responsible for the maintenance and repair of various
plumbing systems and public restrooms located in buildings citywide, including park and
beach buildings. Most public restrooms in the city (approximately 26) are open 24 hours
a day and receive frequent, high use.

Broken pipes and clogged drains are a common occurrence, especially at the park and
beach restrooms. During seasonal peaks, emergency repairs are often requested at
multiple locations throughout the City. To ensure quick response and repair, staff
requests agreements with three on -call plumbing contractors. Plumbing contractors will
provide the following services: Repair and replacement of plumbing fixtures, detection
and repair of water leaks, and the clearing of clogged drains and sewer lateral lines. The
City's two current on -call agreements with Verne's Plumbing Inc., and PHA Professional
Services expire February 1, 2024, however, not -to -exceed spending limits are very near
capacity and contractual spending limits will not be sufficient to provide plumbing services
for the remainder of each term.
RFP No. 23-44 was published on December 6, 2022, and the City received seven
proposals. A committee of four evaluators from the Public Works, Recreation and Senior
Services (RSS), Fire, and Utilities Departments reviewed the 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 seven proposals received less than a score of 70 and were
removed from consideration. Of the five remaining, pricing was comparable as well as
technical ability. The top three rated proposers have been deemed most qualified and
competitive.
In an effort to provide services and streamline the bidding process citywide, these
plumbing agreements will also serve multiple departments including Fire, Utilities, Police,
and RSS. Therefore, staff recommends approving three separate agreements with the
top three plumbing contractors to provide staff with options and flexibility in providing
responsive and adequate service to these departments and the general public.

of Southern California), (Attachment B) and the third is with ACCO Engineered Systems,

Expenses for as -needed maintenance and repair plumbing services during the previous
contract term have averaged $144,000 per year, but only included public restrooms at the
City parks and beaches, the restrooms and kitchenettes at the Public Works Corporation
Yard, the Utilities Yard, and the Civic Center. Other City facilities for the Library, Police,
Fire and RSS Departments were not included in the prior overall on -call contract scope
of services. There are also several known upcoming replacement and repair projects that
include plumbing fixtures at the Lifeguard Headquarters and Central Library, main line
piping repairs at the Balboa Yacht Basin, and renovation of outdoor showers at Corona
del Mar State Beach. Considering these on -call plumbing services will also now serve
multiple Departments, which staff estimates to be $50,000 annually (based upon the
previous spending records), staff anticipates future annually plumbing expenditures to
increase and now is requesting three agreements for a total of $200,000 per year for the
next three years.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funding for the work done under these on -call contracts 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
plumbing 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.
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).

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.

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

termination of this Agreement.

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
Verne's Plumbing, Inc. Page 5 8-8
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.

regular basis regarding the status and progress of the Project, activities performed and
planned, and any meetings that have been scheduled or are desired.

of Work, Contractor shall obtain, provide and maintain at its own expense during the term
of this Agreement or for other periods as specified in this Agreement, policies of insurance
of the type, amounts, terms and conditions described in the Insurance Requirements

15. BONDING

16. PREVAILING WAGES
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
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

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.
17. PROHIBITION AGAINST ASSIGNMENTS AND TRANSFERS
Except as specifically authorized under this Agreement, the Services to be
provided under this Agreement shall not be assigned, transferred contracted or
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
Verne's Plumbing, Inc. Page 7 8-10
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,
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
upon prior written request.
20. CONFIDENTIALITY

communications that result from the Services in this Agreement, shall be kept confidential
unless City expressly authorizes in writing the release of information.

Contractor shall keep records and invoices in connection with the Services to be
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.
Contractor shall allow a representative of City to examine, audit and make 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

Verne's Plumbing, Inc. Page 8 8-11
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.
23. CITY'S RIGHT TO EMPLOY OTHER CONTRACTORS
City reserves the right to employ other contractors in connection with the Project.
24. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
24.1 Contractor or its employees may be subject to the provisions of the
California Political Reform Act of 1974 (the "Act") and/or Government Code §§ 1090 et
seq., 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 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.

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

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 seq.).
27. TERMINATION
27.1 In the event that either party fails or refuses to perform any of the provisions

contractors, or governmental agencies.

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

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
Pacific Plumbing Company of Santa Ana DBA Pacific Plumbing of Southern California
Page 4 8-36
(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.

under and by virtue of the Agreement as shall be considered necessary by City may be

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.

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
Pacific Plumbing Company of Santa Ana DBA Pacific Plumbing of Southern California
Page 7 8-39
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,

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

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

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.

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
ACCO Engineered Systems, Inc. Page 5 8-66
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.

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,

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
