Synopsis of Previous Council Action:
07/22/2014 Adopted Resolution No. 2014-288 authorizing the execution of an
agreement with three (3) one-year extensions at the City's option and
issuance of an annual purchase order not to exceed $442,400 to
West Coast Arborists, Inc. for tree trimming services.
02/17/2015 Adopted Resolution No. 2015-033 authorizing the execution of the first
amendment to the agreement with West Coast Arborists, Inc.
increasing the contract amount by $24,300 to $466,700 to including
trimming and/or removing trees along the Warm Creek Channel.
01/25/2016 Adopted Resolution No. 2016-10 approving a ten (10) year agreement
with Burrtec Waste Industries, Inc. to provide refuse and recycling,
street sweeping and other services.
Background:
07/18/2016 Adopted Ordinance No. 4522 adding Section 12.24.030 to the San
Bernardino Municipal code requiring payment of prevailing wages on public works
projects.
The Public Works Department is responsible for maintenance and aesthetics of
approximately 52,000 trees located street parkways and medians, public facilities
(excluding parks) and Landscape Maintenance Districts. Routine trimming of City trees

is essential for tree health and enhancing public safety by improving visibility, minimizing
falling limbs and keeps sidewalks and roadways clear of low hanging branches.
On March 31, 2014, staff issued RFQ F-14-27 to solicit bids for tree trimming services
and on July 21, 2014, the contract was awarded to West Coast Arborists, Inc. (WCA).
The first amendment to the agreement was approved by the Mayor and Common
Council on February 17, 2015 increasing the scope of services to include tree trimming
and removals along Warm Creek Channel.
Since the award of the contract to WCA, the State of California Department of Industrial
Relations (DIR) issued a new prevailing wage determination for "Tree Maintenance
(Laborer)" resulting from WCA's collective bargaining agreement with the Southern
California District Council of Laborers and its Affiliated Local Unions. The result of DIR
determination is a 31 percent increase in fiscal year 2016/17 for the labor component of
the rates outlined in the City's July 21, 2014 agreement with WCA. The DIR
determination also includes a three (3) percent labor increase for fiscal years 2017/18
and 2018/19 and the proposed rates are shown in Exhibit X.
The proposed increase to WCA's rates to address the DIR determination is consistent
with the Mayor and Common Council's July 18, 2016 adoption of Ordinance No. 4522
requiring payment of prevailing wages on public works projects such as tree
maintenance services.
On January 25, 2016, the Mayor and Common Council approved a ten (10) year
agreement with Burrtec Waste Industries for refuse collection and recycling, street
sweeping and other services which became effective April 1, 2016. This comprehensive
agreement provides for numerous payments, reimbursements and additional revenues
to be made by Burrtec to the City. One of the payments to the City is an Infrastructure
Repair Fee in the amount $250,000 per year for the term of the agreement. The
intention of this fee, developed during negotiations was an expansion of tree trimming
services. It is staff's recommendation that this annual fee be applied to WCA's
agreement for a total annual expenditure of $716,700.00. This will fund the proposed
rate adjustments as well as increased scope of services WCA can provide. In addition,
staff is also recommending that the unallocated or expended Infrastructure Maintenance
Fee for fiscal year 2015/16 be rolled over and allocated to tree trimming services for a
total services expenditure of $966,700 in fiscal year 2016/17 to allow staff the
opportunity to catch up and improve the City's trim cycle.
With long term funding sources being identified for these services and the long standing
productive and efficient partnership between the City and WCA providing these
services, staff is also recommending that term of the agreement be amended to provide
the City the option for two (2) additional one (1) year extensions. This will allow one
complete cycle of tree trimming throughout the City over the next four years.

30.4 Liquidated Damages. The parties further acknowledge that consistent and
reliable collection service is of utmost importance to City and that City has considered
and relied on Contractor's representations as to its quality of service commitment in
awarding the Agreement to it. The parties further recognize that some quantified
standards of performance are necessary and appropriate to ensure consistent and
reliable service and performance. The parties further recognize that if Contractor fails to
achieve the performance standards, or fails to submit required documents in a timely
manner, City, and City's residents and businesses will suffer damages and that it is and
will be impractical and extremely difficult to ascertain and determine the exact amount of
damages. Therefore, in addition to City's right to treat such non-performance as a
breach of this Agreement, the parties agree that the liquidated damages amount defined U
in this Section may represent reasonable estimates of the amount of such damages =
considering all of the circumstances existing on the effective date of this Agreement, E
E
including the relationship of the sums to the range of harm to City, customers and the
community as a whole that reasonably could be anticipated and the anticipation that
proof of actual damages would be costly or impractical. In placing their initials at the c
places provided, each party specifically confirms the accuracy of the statements made
above and the fact that each party has had ample opportunity to consult with legal
counsel and obtain an explanation of the liquidated damage provisions at the time that
the Agreement was made. E
¢
30.5 Procedure for Review of Liquidated Damages. If the City elects not to Lo
terminate this Agreement for breach, the City Representative may assess liquidated
damages pursuant to this Section on a monthly basis. At the end of each month during o
the term of this Agreement, the City Representative shall issue a written notice to
Contractor ("Notice of Assessment") of the liquidated damages assessed and the basis N
for each assessment. °
N
G1
30.5.1 The assessment shall become final unless, within ten (10) calendar days
of the date of the notice of assessment, Contractor provides a written request for
a meeting with the City Manager to present evidence that the assessment should
not be made. Y
30.5.2 The City Representative shall schedule a meeting between Contractor
and the City Manager or the Manager's designee as soon as reasonably possible
after timely receipt of Contractor's request.
30.5.3 The City Manager or the Manager's designee shall review Contractor's
evidence and render a decision sustaining or reversing the liquidated damages
as soon as reasonably possible after the meeting. Written notice of the decision
shall be provided to Contractor.
