Request for Council Action
Date:November 1, 2023
To:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From:Charles Montoya, City Manager
Kris Watson, Director of Animal Services
Department:Animal Services
Subject:Consideration of Supporting Federal “Supporting our
Shelters” Act
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,
California:
1. Approve the draft letter in support of Representative Aguilar’s proposed
“Supporting our Shelters Act”
2. Authorize the City Manager to send the letter in support of the “Supporting our
Shelters Act” to the United States Congress
Executive Summary
The Federal ”Supporting our Shelters Act”, proposed by Representative Pete Aguilar
would establish a source of Federal Funding to support animal shelters. This funding
would help all shelters provide programs and services for all animals in their care.
Background
The City of San Bernardino (City) is currently home to 223,230 persons and
approximately 57% of households in the City own a pet. According to a Pew Research
Center study released in July 2023, 97% of pet owners in the United States believe
their pets are part of their family. Studies have proven pet ownership can have positive
impacts on health for both pets and people.
Discussion
Pets are a vital part of our communities, however, funding for shelters is inconsistent
throughout the country. Municipal shelters like the City’s rely on local funding, grant
funding from private and public organizations as well as private donations to cover the
Packet Page. 24
cost of programs and services to the community. Having a source of federal funding
to help local organizations support their residents and their pets is crucial to the
continued health and wellbeing of our citizens and their companion animals.
The legislation proposed by Representative Aguilar would establish Federal Grant
Funding for Animal Shelter Programs like ours. If signed into law, we would be eligible
to apply for and receive grant funding to support the pets and people in our City. This
funding would be crucial in helping the City expand access to spay/neuter as well as
other programs that would strengthen the human-animal bond in our region and lead
to a healthier community for all.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
The request for support of this Act aligns with Key Target No. 2: Focused, Aligned
Leadership and Unified Community by documenting support for proposed Federal
Legislation which could benefit our community.
Fiscal Impact
No Fiscal Impact
Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,
California:
1. Approve the draft letter in support of Representative Aguilar’s proposed
“Supporting our Shelters Act”
2. Authorize the City Manager to send the letter in support of the “Supporting our
Shelters Act” to the United States Congress

Honorable Pete Aguilar
Member, U.S. House of Representatives
109 Cannon House Office Building
Washington, DC 20515
RE: Supporting our Shelters Act
Dear Representative Aguilar:
On behalf of the City of San Bernardino, California we would like to voice our support for the
Supporting our Shelters Act. This Act would establish grant funding for animal shelters
throughout the Country, helping them expand their ability to offer care to animals in their
jurisdictions.
The City of San Bernardino is currently home to 223,230 persons, approximately 57% of
households in our city own a pet. According to a Pew Research Center study released in July
2023, 97% of pet owners in the United States believe their pets are part of their family. Studies
have proven pet ownership can have positive impacts on health for both pets and people.
Pets are a vital part of our communities, however, funding for shelters is inconsistent throughout
the Country. Municipal shelters like ours rely on local funding, grant funding from private and
public organizations as well as private donations to cover the cost of programs and services to
the community. Having a source of Federal funding to help local organizations support their
residents and their pets is crucial to the continued health and wellbeing of our citizens and their
companion animals.
Thank you for your continued service to our community.
Sincerely,
City Manager

CONSENT CALENDAR
City of San Bernardino
Request for Council Action
Date:November 15, 2023
To:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From:Charles A. Montoya, City Manager
Mary Lanier, Interim Agency Director of Community, Housing,
and Economic Development
Department:Community, Housing, and Economic Development (CED)
Subject:Award On-Call Professional Services Agreement with
Eagle Eye Demolition, Inc.
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,
California:
1. Approve the award of a Professional Service Agreement with Eagle Eye
Demolition, Inc. for on-call board-up and securement abatement services.
2. Authorize the Director of Administrative Services to issue an annual Purchase
Order to Eagle Eye Demolition, Inc. in total amount not to exceed $200,000.
Executive Summary
An annual purchase order in the amount of $200,000 is requested for the purpose of
an On-Call Professional Services Agreement (PSA) for board-up and abatement
services with Eagle Eye Demolition, Inc. A Request for Quote was published on June
6, 2023, with only one contractor’s response, Eagle Eye Demolition, Inc. Staff
conducted an evaluation of the company and services and found high ratings for their
services and is seeking approval of a PSA. Funding for abatement services is included
in the FY 23/24 Budget and funds will be recouped as the property owners are billed
for services.
Background
To promote the health, safety, and welfare of the residents, the City may determine
that certain buildings and other structures are a nuisance and must be abated. There
are times that buildings throughout the City become open and accessible to the public,
creating an inviting environment for vagrancy, vandalism, and the illegal occupancy by
persons who do not have consent or permission to enter those structures. Additionally,
Packet Page. 30
1
6

there are times, because of the execution of various judicial orders, the City must utilize
vendors to adequately secure the respective structure(s) through efficient and effective
means.
The Code Enforcement Division's budget provides for contracts that conduct
abatement services that include securing and cleaning properties. The on-call board
up and property cleanup services are utilized by Code Enforcement for
securing locations with broken windows or doors and dispensary board-ups.
With the City’s On-Call Professional Services Agreement with Eagle Eye Demolition,
Inc. ending on June 30, 2023, a Request for Quote was released that same month
seeking proposals for board-up and securement abatement services.
Discussion
On June 6, 2023, Request for Quote F-23-50 (RFQ F-23-50) was published seeking
bids to ensure compliance with the City's regulation for on-call board-up and abatement
services. One contractor responded to bid F-23-50: Eagle Eye Demolition, Inc., the bid
packet scope of work and responses are attached hereto as Attachment 2.
Staff has reviewed all contents of the bid package and confirmed that Eagle Eye
Demolition, Inc. is the only responsive and responsible bidder. Also, after evaluations
of overall bid specifications, Eagle Eye Demolition, Inc. demonstrated high ratings in
their quality, quantity, and delivery of all on-call services. If awarded by the Mayor and
City Council, on-call board-up services are anticipated to begin November 2023.
During the last fiscal year, the Code Enforcement Division aggressively responded to
over 4,000 annual Code Enforcement requests that include board-ups and abatements
of numerous properties, both residential and commercial. Therefore, to maintain the
City's ability to effectively abate nuisances, the Community and Economic
Development Department is requesting approval to award one vendor, Eagle Eye
Demolition, Inc. with a single year contract in the amount not to exceed $200,000.
Additionally, staff is seeking approval to allow for a two one-year renewal options
through FY 2025/2026 at the city’s discretion for a total annual amount for each option
year not to exceed $200,000, subject to available funds.
Costs associated with boarded up and/or abated property are billed to the property
owner. If the timely payment is not received, a lien is recorded against the respective
property. Over time, it is expected that the City will fully recover the property abatement
costs.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
The on-call board-up and abatement service contracts align with Key Target No. 3:
Improved Quality of Life. Specifically, 3d: Improve the City’s appearance, cleanliness,
and attractiveness. Board up and abatement services utilize City programs to reduce
crime and ensure that neighborhoods and business areas are safe.

1. Approve the award of a Professional Service Agreement with Eagle Eye
Demolition, Inc. for on-call board-up and securement abatement services.

b. If Consultant’s obligation to defend, indemnify, and/or hold harmless
arises out of Consultant’s performance as a “design professional” (as that term is defined

the services or this Agreement, and, upon Consultant obtaining a final adjudication by a
court of competent jurisdiction, Consultant’s liability for such claim, including the cost to

Laws"), which require the payment of prevailing wage rates and the performance of other
requirements on certain “public works” and “maintenance” projects. If the Services are
being performed as part of an applicable “public works” or “maintenance” project, as
defined by the Prevailing Wage Laws, Consultant agrees to fully comply with such
Prevailing Wage Laws, if applicable. Consultant shall defend, indemnify and hold the
City, its elected officials, officers, employees and agents free and harmless from any
claims, liabilities, costs, penalties or interest arising out of any failure or alleged failure to

On September 25, 2023, the County of San Bernardino’s Continuum of Care (COC)
awarded the City $808,358.87 through the Homeless Housing, Assistance, and
Prevention (HHAP 3) Round 3 Grant to help operate its permanent navigation center to
assist unhoused men and women with interim housing and wrap-around supportive
services. The HHAP 3 Grant contract term is October 3, 2023, to June 30, 2026. There
is no fiscal impact to the City for accepting the HHAP 3 award.
Background
The Homeless Coordinating and Financing Council (HCFC) released a Notice of Funding
Availability on December 17, 2021, for Homeless Housing, Assistance and Prevention
(HHAP 3) Round 3 grant funding. HHAP 3 is a $1 billion block grant program authorized
by AB 140 (Health & Safety Code § 50218.6, et seq.), which was signed into law by
Governor Gavin Newsom on July 19, 2021. The City applied through the County's COC
for the Central Valley Region.
HHAP 3 is designed to build on regional coordination developed through previous rounds
of the Homeless Emergency Aid Program (HEAP), HHAP, and COVID-19 funding. HHAP
3 funds should be used to continue to build regional coordination and a unified regional
response to reduce and end homelessness informed by a best-practices framework
focused on moving homeless individuals and families into permanent housing and
supporting the efforts of those individuals and families to maintain their permanent
housing.
Residents see the devastating effects homelessness has on individuals and the
community and desire an effective and compassionate solution. Successful mitigation of
homelessness will require the commitment of both the City and County because each
entity is responsible for different aspects of the solution, with the County primarily being
responsible for mental health, general health, and social services. To ensure positive
outcomes, both the City and County will need to work together to establish multi-year
funding to help streamline and expedite responses to homelessness. Including
monitoring, applying, and evaluating additional funding sources as they become available
through the COC.
Discussion
This HHAP 3 award will provide the City with financial assistance to operate a 200-bed,
permanent, year-round, low-barrier navigation center to assist unhoused men and
women. The scope of work for the permanent navigation center will include the following:
•Case Management
•Substance Use Counseling
•Behavioral Health Services
•Physical Health Services
•Housing Navigation/Tenancy Support
•Life Skills Training/Financial Literacy Classes
Packet Page. 57

6
8
0
•Rental & Utility Assistance (for those at risk of homelessness)
•Pet Care
•Assistance with Documentation Readiness, and
•Help with Income Stabilization
•Assistance with Public Benefit Application
•Job Readiness Training/Job Placement
The HCFC strongly encourages applicants to prioritize the use of HHAP 3 funds to assist
people experiencing literal homelessness to move into safe, stable housing, including
innovative, interim housing. HHAP 3 funding should be housing-focused -- either funding
permanent housing interventions directly or, if used for shelter or street outreach, having
clear pathways to connect people to permanent housing options.
The term of the HHAP 3 contract becomes effective October 3, 2023, and expires June
30, 2026, but may be terminated earlier in accordance with the provisions outlined in the
HHAP 3 Contract. The support through the Continuum of Care from the County, with
HHAP 3 funds, will contribute towards operational costs associated with operating the
City’s permanent navigation center. The Housing Division will continue to monitor future
funding opportunities through the Continuum of Care. This is aligned with the
Homelessness State of Emergency Implementation Plan.
Mayor, City Council, and City Manager Goals and Objectives
Expanding accessibility to shelter and housing will improve the quality of life for unhoused
residents. Utilizing HHAP 3 funds aligns with Strategic Target No. 3: Improved Quality of
Life.
Fiscal Impact
There is no General Fund impact with this item. The FY2023/2024 budget will be
amended by $808,385.87 for the Homeless Housing, Assistance, and Prevention
Program.
Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,
California:
1. Adopt Resolution No. 2023-160, to accept the Homeless Housing, Assistance,
and Prevention (HHAP 3) Round 3 Grant funding awarded to the City of San
Bernardino through the County of San Bernardino, Office of Homeless Services;
2. Approve the execution of the HHAP 3 Grant Agreement between the City of San

political subdivision of Federal or the State governments, which may affect the
provisions, terms or funding of this Contract in any manner.

for non-program activities.
f.Contractor certifies and agrees that it will not use funds provided through this
Contract to pay for entertainment, gifts, or fundraising activities.
g.Ineligible Costs – HHAP-3 funds shall not be used for costs associated with

be adequately documented, shall be disallowed and must be reimbursed
to the County by Contractor.
2)The State, at its sole and reasonable discretion, shall make the final
determination regarding the allowability of expenditures of HHAP-3 funds.
3)Program funds shall not be used to supplant existing local funds for
homeless housing, assistance, or prevention. HHAP-3 funds cannot
replace local funds that are committed to an existing or developing
homeless assistance program. However, if funds previously supporting a
service or project end or are reduced for reasons beyond the control of
Contractor and services or housing capacity will be lost as a result of these
funds ending, HHAP-3 funds may be used to maintain the service or
program and are not considered supplanting [examples include, but are not
limited to, a time-limited city and/or county tax or one-time block grant, such
as Homeless Emergency Aid Program (HEAP) grant].

“Expend” means all HHAP-3 funds obligated under this Contract have been fully
paid and receipted, and no invoices remain outstanding.”
Reports submitted by the Contractor will be used to ensure that Contractor is on
track to expend fifty percent (50%) of HHAP-3 funds by May 31, 2024 and one
hundred percent (100%) of HHAP-3 funds by June 30, 2026. Contractor may
submit a request to OHS prior to May 31, 2024 if Contractor is not on track to
expend 50% of the HHAP-3 funds by May 31, 2024 proposing an alternative
expenditure rate to meet the June 20, 2026 100% expenditure deadline with
justification. The Chief of Homeless Services may approve, modify, or deny such
request.
If, by January 1, 2026, Contractor has not submitted reports showing an
expenditure of at least eighty percent (80%) of the HHAP-3 funds, the remaining
twenty percent (20%) will be returned and reallocated.
i.HHAP-3 funds may not be obligated and expended prior to the effective date of
this Contract. “Obligate” means that Contractor has placed orders, entered into
sub-contracts, received services, or entered into similar transactions that require
payment from the Contract award.
j.All proceeds from any interest-bearing account established by the Contractor for
the deposit of HHAP-3 funds must be used for HHAP-eligible activities.

to, emergency shelter, rapid-rehousing, rental assistance, transitional housing and

owner or an agent authorized to act on behalf of a property owner.

in addition to County funds as provided under this Contract, Contractor shall
provide proof of such funding. Contractor must be able to account for the receipt,
obligation and expenditure of funds.
The County shall NOT pay for any services provided by Contractor which are
funded by other sources. All restrictions and/or requirements provided in this
Contract relative to accounting, budgeting, and reporting apply to the total program
regardless of funding sources.
n.The County reserves the right to reduce the Contract award when the County’s
fiscal monitoring indicates that Contractor’s rate of expenditure will result in
unspent funds at the end of the Contract term or if it is determined that costs
incurred are not in conformance with eligible costs as defined in Health and Safety
Code Section 50214. Changes in the Contract award will be done after
consultation with Contractor. Such changes shall be incorporated into this
Contract by written amendment(s).
B.3.6 Fiscal Award Monitoring

effort to prevent employees, Contractor, or members of governing bodies from using their
positions for purposes that are, or give the appearance of being motivated by a desire for private
gain for themselves or others such as those with whom they have family business, or other ties.
Officers, employees, and agents of cities, counties, districts, and other local agencies are subject
to applicable conflict of interest codes and state law. In the event the County determines a conflict
of interest situation exists, any increase in costs, associated with the conflict of interest situation,
may be disallowed by the County and such conflict may constitute grounds for termination of the
Contract. This provision shall not be construed to prohibit employment of persons with whom
Contractor’s officers, employees, or agents have family, business, or other ties so long as the
employment of such persons does not result in increased costs over those associated with the
employment of any other equally qualified applicant.
C.42 Former County Administrative Officials

or any of its partners, principals, members, associates or key employees, has within the last ten
years, been indicted on or had charges brought against it or them (if still pending) or convicted of
any crime or offense involving financial misconduct or fraud. If the response is affirmative, the

contractors (including by agreement or receipt of a grant) to terminate contracts with, and to refrain
from entering any new contracts with, individuals or entities that are determined to be a target of
Economic Sanctions. Accordingly, should it be determined that Contractor is a target of Economic
Sanctions or is conducting prohibited transactions with sanctioned individuals or entities, that shall
be grounds for termination of this agreement. Contractor shall be provided advance written notice
of such termination, allowing Contractor at least 30 calendar days to provide a written response.
Termination shall be at the sole discretion of the County.

G.4 Policies Primary and Non-Contributory
All policies required herein are to be primary and non-contributory with any insurance or self-
insurance programs carried or administered by the County.
G.5 Severability of Interests

additional insured under the policy.
G.6 Proof of Coverage
The Contractor shall furnish Certificates of Insurance to the County Department administering the
Contract evidencing the insurance coverage at the time the Contract is executed, additional
endorsements, as required shall be provided prior to the commencement of performance of
services hereunder, which certificates shall provide that such insurance shall not be terminated

Revised 06/23/2023 Page 25 of 38
insurance requirements whenever Risk Management determines that any of the required
insurance is not available, is unreasonably priced, or is not needed to protect the interests of the
County. In addition, if the Department of Risk Management determines that heretofore
unreasonably priced or unavailable types of insurance coverage or coverage limits become
reasonably priced or available, the Director of Risk Management or designee is authorized, but
not required, to change the above insurance requirements to require additional types of insurance
coverage or higher coverage limits, provided that any such change is reasonable in light of past
claims against the County, inflation, or any other item reasonably related to the County’s risk.
Any change requiring additional types of insurance coverage or higher coverage limits must be
made by amendment to this contract. Contractor agrees to execute any such amendment within
thirty (30) days of receipt.
Any failure, actual or alleged, on the part of the County to monitor or enforce compliance with any
of the insurance and indemnification requirements will not be deemed as a waiver of any rights
on the part of the County.

used to comply with limits or other primary coverage requirements. When used, the
umbrella policy shall apply to bodily injury/property damage, personal
injury/advertising injury and shall include a “dropdown” provision providing primary

EXHIBIT 2 – SCOPE OF WORK
The City of San Bernardino seeks to meet a high priority local need by developing a 224-bed non-congregate,
low barrier navigation center called SB HOPE Campus that will provide interim housing for homeless men,
women and families and recuperative care for homeless persons discharged from hospitals, but who are still in
need of medical care for chronic or acute health condition. SB HOPE Campus will resemble an actual campus
and have four distinct components:
•Interim Housing
•Recuperative Care/Medical Respite
•Onsite Supportive Services, and
•Animal Kennel
Unlike a traditional shelter, SB HOPE Campus will have day center type qualities as participants will not be
forced back out into the community each day. Instead, occupants can remain in the center to work on their
individualized case plans. This model will help to reduce homeless foot traffic in community and reduce the
spread of COVID-19. The interim housing component aligns with CDC guidelines as occupants will be
assigned to a single, double, or family occupancy unit depending on status. CDC's interim guidance for
homeless persons living on the street recommend the use of motel or private rooms versus congregate
shelters to help reduce the spread of COVID-19. SB HOPE Campus's unique and innovative design for interim
housing will allow occupants a level of privacy, comfort and security in their assigned room or family unit.
Scope of Services
Along with interim housing, SB HOPE Campus will include an on-site medical clinic and a variety of on-site
supportive services including:
•Case Management
•Substance Use Counseling
•Behavioral Health Services
•Physical Health Services
•Housing Navigation/Tenancy Support
•Life Skills Training/Financial Literacy Classes
•Rental & Utility Assistance (for those at risk of homelessness)
•Pet Care
•Assistance with Documentation Readiness, and
•Help with Income Stabilization
o Assistance with Public Benefit Application
o Job Readiness Training/Job Placement

EXHIBIT 6
State of California
WELFARE AND INSTITUTIONS CODE
Section 8255
8255.
For purposes of this chapter:
(a) “Council” means the California Interagency Council on Homelessness, formerly known as the
Homeless Coordinating and Financing Council established pursuant to Section 8257.
(b) “Core components of Housing First” means all of the following:
(1) Tenant screening and selection practices that promote accepting applicants regardless of
their sobriety or use of substances, completion of treatment, or participation in services.
(2) Applicants are not rejected on the basis of poor credit or financial history, poor or lack of
rental history, criminal convictions unrelated to tenancy, or behaviors that indicate a lack of
“housing readiness.”
(3) Acceptance of referrals directly from shelters, street outreach, drop-in centers, and other
parts of crisis response systems frequented by vulnerable people experiencing homelessness.
(4) Supportive services that emphasize engagement and problem solving over therapeutic
goals and service plans that are highly tenant-driven without predetermined goals.
(5) Participation in services or program compliance is not a condition of permanent housing
tenancy.
(6) Tenants have a lease and all the rights and responsibilities of tenancy, as outlined in
California’s Civil, Health and Safety, and Government codes.
(7) The use of alcohol or drugs in and of itself, without other lease violations, is not a reason
for eviction.
(8) In communities with coordinated assessment and entry systems, incentives for funding
promote tenant selection plans for supportive housing that prioritize eligible tenants based on
criteria other than “first-come-first-serve,” including, but not limited to, the duration or
chronicity of homelessness, vulnerability to early mortality, or high utilization of crisis services.
Prioritization may include triage tools, developed through local data, to identify high-cost,
high-need homeless residents.
(9) Case managers and service coordinators who are trained in and actively employ evidence-
based practices for client engagement, including, but not limited to, motivational interviewing
and client-centered counseling.
(10) Services are informed by a harm-reduction philosophy that recognizes drug and alcohol
use and addiction as a part of tenants’ lives, where tenants are engaged in nonjudgmental
communication regarding drug and alcohol use, and where tenants are offered education
regarding how to avoid risky behaviors and engage in safer practices, as well as connected to
evidence-based treatment if the tenant so chooses.
Packet Page. 97
Revised 06/23/2023 Page 36 of 38
(11) The project and specific apartment may include special physical features that
accommodate disabilities, reduce harm, and promote health and community and
independence among tenants.
(c) “Homeless” has the same definition as that term is defined in Section 91.5 of Title 24 of the
Code of Federal Regulations.
(d) (1) “Housing First” means the evidence-based model that uses housing as a tool, rather than
a reward, for recovery and that centers on providing or connecting homeless people to
permanent housing as quickly as possible. Housing First providers offer services as needed and
requested on a voluntary basis and that do not make housing contingent on participation in
services.
(2) (A) “Housing First” includes time-limited rental or services assistance, so long as the
housing and service provider assists the recipient in accessing permanent housing and in
securing longer term rental assistance, income assistance, or employment.
(B) For time-limited, supportive services programs serving homeless youth, programs
should use a positive youth development model and be culturally competent to serve
unaccompanied youth under 25 years of age. Providers should work with the youth to
engage in family reunification efforts, where appropriate and when in the best interest of
the youth. In the event of an eviction, programs shall make every effort, which shall be
documented, to link tenants to other stable, safe, decent housing options. Exit to
homelessness should be extremely rare, and only after a tenant refuses assistance with
housing search, location, and move-in assistance.
(e) “State programs” means any programs a California state agency or department funds,
implements, or administers for the purpose of providing housing or housing-based services to
people experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness, with the exception of federally
funded programs with requirements inconsistent with this chapter.

Executive Summary
With the recent organizational changes in the City’s personnel and organizational
structure, it is necessary to update the signature authority on all City and Successor
Agency bank and investment accounts.
Background
The City and Successor Agency must update bank and investment account signature
authorizations on file with the various financial institutions that hold City and Successor
Agency funds as personnel and organizational changes occur.
Discussion
Most banking institutions require approval from the organizations’ governing body
through the adoption of a resolution and/or minutes from the meeting showing adoption
and approval.
The City and Successor Agency have cash, investments, and other funds required to
be held by fiscal agents in the following institutions:

Resolutions 1 through 8 have been prepared for the various banking and investment
accounts to implement the changes in signature authority.
Following approval by the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,
California, and approval by the Mayor and City Council acting in its capacity as the
Successor Agency to the former Redevelopment Agency of the City of San Bernardino,

day-to-day investment activities or the utilization of external investment advisor
services to assist with the investment program.
As such, in April-2021 the City authorized the services of the following broker/dealers
to aid in day-to-day investment activities. Resolution 9 has been prepared to authorize
City designated personnel to carry out investment activities through the use of the
following broker/dealers:
i. Cantor Fitzgerald;
ii. Higgins Capital Management;
iii. Raymond James; and
iv. Stifel.

CONSENT CALENDAR
City of San Bernardino
Request for Council Action
Date:November 1, 2023
To:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From:Charles A. Montoya, City Manager
Suzie H. Soren, Director of Human Resources
Department:Human Resources
Subject:Professional Services Agreement with AdminSure for
Workers' Compensation Third Party Administrator
Services
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,
California, authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute a Professional Services
Agreement with AdminSure for workers’ compensation claims administrator services.
Executive Summary
Staff prepared a Request for Proposal (RFP) for workers’ compensation third party
administrator services which garnered seven responses. The proposals were
evaluated and AdminSure was selected as the most qualified respondent.
Background
In July of 2017, The Mayor and City Council approved an agreement with AdminSure
for workers’ compensation third party administrator (TPA) services. After five years
with the current TPA, staff determined that it would be consistent with best practices to
request proposals to compare costs and TPA providers. Staff released an RFP that
garnered seven proposals from the respondents listed below. The proposals were
evaluated by staff from the Human Resources Department, the San Bernardino Water
Department, and the Police Department. The cost of the contract and the quality of
claims services to be provided were considered in determining the most qualified
respondent.

AdminSure demonstrated the highest level of services and at a very competitive annual
administrative price with fixed claim services fees. Although price is not the exclusive
consideration in evaluating companies, staff believes AdminSure will provide
outstanding workers’ compensation claim management services, and most
importantly, a high level of customer service to City employees. Therefore, AdminSure
was selected as the most responsive bidder.
The existing contract with AdminSure expired on June 30, 2023. AdminSure has
provided services to date to allow for the RFP process to be completed. This contract
date of the Professional Services Agreement is July 1, 2023 to ensure continuity of
service.
Discussion
AdminSure was distinguished from the other TPA providers because of its experience
with full-service municipal agencies including public works and safety services.
AdminSure’s integrated model offers the City stability in managing its program through
a single vendor which minimizes service disruptions to staff, employees, and most
importantly, the injured worker by providing a single point of contact. During the
interview process it was clear that AdminSure’s approach to service is client-based and
client-focused. Further, they provided achievement methods that are easily measured,
managed, and understood. This can be exceedingly difficult to obtain with the
complicated cost associated with a worker’s compensation program.
AdminSure will provide unified services inclusive of claims administration, and a suite
of managed care services that includes medical bill review, utilization review, medical
providers, and nurse case managers at a fixed price.
AdminSure has provided references demonstrating its ability to complete the work
included within the scope of this agreement. AdminSure’s professional reputation
extends to over 78 public entity clients.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
The request to enter into a professional services agreement for workers’ compensation
TPA services aligns with Goal No. 1.e.: Minimize risk and litigation exposure. The City’s
TPA acts as an extension of the risk management division by providing experienced
adjusters that work swiftly to help minimize lost time through proactive claims
handling.
Fiscal Impact

There is sufficient funding in the FY 23/24 Operating Budget for this item. The
annualized cost of this service is $417,504 for year one. For the years thereafter, the
fee for services will increase at a rate not to exceed 3% per fiscal year. A table of the
not-to-exceed cost each year is below.

2 $ 384,643 $ 46,386 $ 430,029
3 $ 396,182 $ 47,778 $ 443,960
It is important to note that the amounts in the table above are not-to-exceed amounts.
Actual amounts will vary as they are determined based on open claims.
Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,
California, authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute a Professional Services
Agreement with AdminSure for workers’ compensation claims administrator services.

by the City and Water Department, the City Council, members of the City Council, its employees,
or authorized volunteers. Consultant’s indemnification obligation shall survive the expiration or
earlier termination of this Agreement.

works” or “maintenance” project, as defined by the Prevailing Wage Laws, Consultant agrees to
fully comply with such Prevailing Wage Laws, if applicable. Consultant shall defend, indemnify
and hold the City, Water Department, its elected officials, officers, employees and agents free

Packet Page. 149
goals and priorities. The Workshop was informational only and allowed staff to present
a series of strategic initiatives and other programs and proposals for the Council’s
future consideration.
On September 12, 2023, staff presented a follow-up to the Workshop addressing the
concerns that were raised and provided an analysis of the City’s economic forecast,
position control, and a comparative analysis of other cities. The presentation contained
the addition of several new positions and proposed establishing new position
classifications within several departments.
On October 18, 2023, staff brought forward a consent calendar item that recommended
establishing six (6) new classifications and amended three (3) other classifications. The
below constitutes the last two (2) positions agreed upon by Council to be established.
Classification and compensation studies were conducted to determine the salary
ranges of the new classifications. Considerations of the City’s current salary schedule
was also contemplated.
Discussion

Department into an Economic Development Department and Community Development
and Housing Department will be brought back for Mayor and City Council approval at
a future date. The current Director of Community, Housing and Economic Development

revised salary schedule in a public meeting. The attached salary schedule meets the
California Public Employees Retirement System’s (CalPERS) pay rate reporting
requirements in accordance with Government Code Section 20636 defining
“Compensation Earnable” and the California Code of Regulations (CCR) Section
570.5.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals

amended on October 4, 2023.

City of San Bernardino
Request for Council Action
Date:November 1, 2023
To:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From:Charles A. Montoya, City Manager
Lydie Gutfeld, Director of Parks, Recreation & Community
Services
Department:Parks & Recreation & Community Services
Subject:Accept the Anonymous Donation of $40,000 for the
Verdemont Community Center
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,
California, adopt Resolution No. 2023-171 to:
1.Authorize City Manager to accept the Anonymous Donation in the amount
of $40,000, and
2.Authorize the Director of Finance and Management Services to amend the
FY2023/24 General Fund Operating Budget in both revenue and
expenditures by $40,000; and allocate the expenditures to the following,
Senior Programming at the Verdemont Community Center ($10,000),
Movies in the Parks at Verdemont ($10,000) and After School Homework
Help ($20,000).
Executive Summary
The City received a donation from Anonymous donor, in the amount of $40,000 to be
used to subsidize programming and event costs at Verdemont Community Center.
Specifically senior programming, movies in the parks at Verdemont and the after-
school homework help at the community center.
Background
The Verdemont Community Center continues to grow its participation rate while
functioning out of a small trailer. The Verdemont Community Center was built in 2011
Packet Page. 164
and in 2016 the building was closed and demolished; a rental half the size was placed
in the area. To continue programming, options were decreased; this reduction in
program and activity options prompted community members to approach the Director
of Parks, Recreation and Community Services (PRCS) with the anonymous donation
to be specifically earmarked for Senior programs, afterschool homework help, and
additional movies in the park events to be held at Al Guhin Park.
Discussion
In 2022, the department increased staffing levels and implemented new programming
in and outside the Verdemont Community Center at Al Guhin Park. Community
members have responded to programming efforts and staff are working to provide a
more consistent and positive recreational experience. While efforts inquiring about a
larger space for the community center are in the works, this donation of $40K will assist
in growing the programs and events that this community is seeking.
The donation has specifically been identified and three target areas to be enhanced:
1. $10,000 for senior programming. Funds will allow for additional opportunities for
social interaction and stimulating activities that promote social and emotional
wellness.
2. $10,000 for family movies in the park. Funds for movie licensing fees and supplies
to host at least five more events at Al Guhin Park.
3. $20,000 for after-school homework help. Funds for educational supplies for staff
to assist with daily homework assignments, projects, and relevant STEAM
activities, and to offset the cost of subscriptions and licensing for online learning
platforms.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
This request aligns with Strategic Target No. 2.b. Focused, Aligned Leadership
and Unified Community – Build a culture that attracts, retains, and motivates the
highest quality talent.
Fiscal Impact
$40,000 in revenues and expenditures will be appropriated into the General Fund
FY2023/24 Operating Budget. There is no additional General Fund impact with this
item.
Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,
California, adopt Resolution No. 2023-171 to:
1.Authorize City Manager to accept the Anonymous Donation in the amount
of $40,000, and
Packet Page. 165
2.Authorize the Director of Finance and Management Services to amend the

Movies in the Parks at Verdemont ($10,000) and After School Homework
Help ($20,000).

City of San Bernardino
Request for Council Action
Date:November 1, 2023
To:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From:Charles A. Montoya, City Manager;
Ernesto Salinas, Acting Director, Public Works
Department:Public Works
Subject:Amendment No. 1 to Agreement with Environmental
Project Services, Inc. (All Wards)
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,
California:
1.Authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 1 to Maintenance
Services Agreement with Environmental Project Services, Inc. for Concrete
Maintenance Services; and
2.Authorize the Director of Finance and Management Services to issue a
purchase order in the amount not to exceed $2,000,000.
Executive Summary
A purchase order in the amount not to exceed $2,000,000 is being requested for
concrete maintenance services with Environmental Project Services, Inc. These
services are utilized for City wide sidewalk maintenance and repair. This reflects an
increase of $1,000,000 from the current purchase order amount.
Background
The Department of Public Works, Operations and Maintenance Division, is responsible
for all sidewalks, curbs, gutters, and cross gutters, as keeping them in good repair is
essential to the safety of the public.
On March 16, 2022, the Mayor and City Council was presented with a staff report
recommending the issuance of an annual purchase order for $1,000,000 for concrete
maintenance services with the low bidder, Environmental Project Services Inc.
(EPS). At that meeting, the Mayor and City Council approved the recommendation,
which authorized the execution of an agreement with Environmental Project Services,
Packet Page. 170
Inc. and the issuance of an annual purchase order in the amount of $1,000,000.
On June 21, 2023, the Mayor and City Council adopted Resolution No 2023-080
authorizing the Agency Director of Administrative Services to allocate $3,000,000 of
the General Fund balance designated as the “Capital Contingency Reserve” for street
segment repairs and sidewalk projects. From that amount, $1,000,000 has been set
aside for additional sidewalk projects.
Discussion
The City's Public Works Department has contracted-out sidewalk and gutter concrete
repair services for several years and has been limited to work within a $1,000,000
cap. However, in recent years, the City has had significant increases in its concrete
maintenance needs, particularly in terms of sidewalk maintenance. Repairing City
sidewalks and gutters are a quality-of-life issue for the City's residents and a liability
issue for the City.
The repairs that need to be made will vary; for example, they may involve a relatively
simple replacement of a section or might consist of complex and/or larger concrete
repairs. In other words, some repairs may involve lengthier stretches of sidewalk while
others may involve complex repairs that involve matching curbs and gutters to existing
forms.
In an effort to improve the City infrastructure and prevent potential legal claims from
injuries resulting from broken or missing sidewalks, Staff is requesting an additional
increase of $1,000,000 for concrete services. This increase will provide an opportunity
for the Department to maintain, upgrade, and repair sidewalks, curbs, and gutters, and
significantly reduce the amount of open work order requests which currently total 405
requests.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
This project is consistent with Key Target No.1d: Minimize risk and litigation exposure.
Approval of this recommendation will significantly reduce the risk of potential liability,
and significantly reduce the amount of open work order requests.
Fiscal Impact
Therre is no General Fund impact with this action. The Purchase order amount of
$2,000,000. was included in the FY 2023/24 budget.
Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,
California:
1.Authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 1 to Maintenance
Services Agreement with Environmental Project Services, Inc. for Concrete
Maintenance Services; and
2.Authorize the Director of Finance and Management Services to issue a
purchase order in the amount not to exceed $2,000,000.

City of San Bernardino
Request for Council Action
Date:November 1, 2023
To:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From:Charles A. Montoya, City Manager;
Ernesto Salinas, Acting Director, Public Works
Department:Public Works
Subject:Amendment No. 1 to Agreement with Horizons
Construction Company International (All Wards)
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,
California:
1. Authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 1 to Maintenance
Services Agreement with Horizons Construction Company International for
Asphalt Maintenance and Repair Services; and
2. Authorize the Director of Finance and Management Services to issue a purchase
order in the amount of $2,450,000.
Executive Summary
A purchase order in the amount of $2,450,000 is requested for Asphalt Maintenance
and Repair Services with Horizons Construction Company International. These
services are utilized for City wide street maintenance and repair. This request reflects
a $2,000,000 increase to the current purchase order.
Background
The Operations and Maintenance Division (O&M) of the Public Works Department is
responsible for the maintenance, repair, and clean-up of City-owned infrastructure and
rights of way. In collaboration with the Engineering Division of Public Works, the
Division is also responsible for ensuring the City’s streets, street medians, islands,
curbs and related infrastructure are properly maintained, inspected, repaired, and
painted/marked as needed. General maintenance and minor repair of asphalt streets
(such as pothole filling or small segment repairs) is largely performed through in-house
staff. Larger repairs (to include full street rehabilitation and slurry seals) are managed
Packet Page. 194
by the Engineering Division.
On February 1, 2023, the Mayor and City Council were presented with a staff report
recommending the issuance of an annual purchase order for $450,000 for Asphalt
Maintenance and Repair Services with the low bidder, Horizons Construction
Company International. At that meeting, the Mayor and City Council adopted
Resolution No. 2023-021 authorizing the Agency Director of Administrative Services
to amend the FY 2022/23 General Fund Operating Budget, execute an agreement with
Horizons Construction Company International and issue an annual purchase order in
the amount of $450,000.
On June 21, 2023, the Mayor and City Council adopted Resolution No 2023-080
authorizing the Agency Director of Administrative Services to allocate $3,000,000 of
the General Fund balance designated as the “Capital Contingency Reserve” for street
segment repairs and sidewalk projects. Of that amount, $2,000,000 was earmarked
for street segment repairs and related maintenance.
Discussion
The City of San Bernardino has nearly 1,300 lane miles (574 center lane miles) of
streets requiring routine inspection, maintenance, and repair. Routine repairs
performed by O&M division staff generally involve traditional pothole patching, hot
patch segment repairs and minor street shoulder repairs. Larger repairs and full street
rehabilitation are managed by the City Engineer using contractual forces and are
typically part of the City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP). Medium-sized repairs
of asphalt street segments, however, have been identified as an area requiring
additional resources and contractual support.
Medium-sized repairs are typically defined as repairs which go beyond traditional
pothole patching and may require hot patch asphalt segment repairs beyond 10 feet
by 10 feet in size. These repairs may also include repairs to sections of asphalt streets
that are deteriorated (alligatored) to the point that traditional pothole patching has no
effect. Deterioration of street segments is often referred to as “alligatored” because of
the unique appearance of the asphalt surface that resembles the pattern of an
alligator’s skin (see Attachment 3). It is important to note that these repairs are not
meant to provide a long-term solution, but, rather, provide a short-term solution while
a street is awaiting a full rehabilitation.
As a result of an increase in medium-sized repairs throughout the City, the O&M
Division began looking into alternatives designed to properly address such repairs in a
more efficient, quicker, albeit short-term manner. They found that such repairs are best
performed by contractors who can provide a variety of asphalt repair services a la carte,
rather than taking on larger projects (such as full street rehabilitations) which may take
years to complete. Similar in concept to contractual sidewalk repairs (which are
beyond the scope of in-house staff), staff determined this was a feasible alternative
that will provide a quicker response to alligatored and/or deteriorated street segments
while the street awaits a full replacement.
Packet Page. 195
To ensure our City conducts timely and first-rate repair of deteriorated street segments,
staff is requesting a revised purchase order in the amount $2,450,000 be established
under this maintenance services agreement. This reflects an increase of $2,000,000
from the original amount of $450,000. Staff anticipates this increase will expedite the
repair of streets that have potholes and deterioration that go beyond traditional pothole
patching repairs.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
This project is consistent with several City goals and targets. It is aligned with Key Target
1e: Minimize risk and litigation exposure. Approval of this agreement will reduce the risk
of potential liability associated with tort cases and significantly reduce the amount of
open work order requests. It is also aligned with Key Target 3c: Constantly evaluate
public safety service delivery models to enhance the quality of service.
Fiscal Impact
The total General Fund impact is $2,450,000. $2,000,000 has been appropriated to
the FY 2023/24 operating budget for street segment repairs. Additionally, a purchase
order was established in FY 2023/24 in the amount of $450,000 that is being carried
over into FY 2023/24.
Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,
California:
1. Authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 1 to Maintenance Services
Agreement with Horizons Construction Company International. for Asphalt
Maintenance and Repair Services; and
2. Authorize the Director of Finance and Management Services to issue a purchase
order in the amount of $2,450,000.

until it has been received and approved by the City.
3.2.13.2 Payment Bond. If required by law or otherwise specifically
requested by City in Exhibit “C” attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, Contractor
shall execute and provide to City concurrently with this Agreement a Payment Bond in the amount

3.2.13.3 Bond Provisions. Should, in City’s sole opinion, any bond

with the Agreement, the Contractor shall, upon request of the City, cause the amount of the bonds
to be increased accordingly and shall promptly deliver satisfactory evidence of such increase to
the City. To the extent available, the bonds shall further provide that no change or alteration of
the Agreement (including, without limitation, an increase in the total compensation, as referred to

City.

elements, or from any unforeseen difficulties which may arise or be encountered in the

3.2.17 Warranty. Contractor warrants all Services under the Contract (which for
purposes of this Section shall be deemed to include unauthorized work which has not been
removed and any non-conforming materials incorporated into the work) to be of good quality and
free from any defective or faulty material and workmanship. Contractor agrees that for a period
of one year (or the period of time specified elsewhere in the Contract or in any guarantee or
warranty provided by any manufacturer or supplier of equipment or materials incorporated into
the work, whichever is later) after the date of final acceptance, Contractor shall within ten (10)
days after being notified in writing by the City of any defect in the Services or non-conformance
of the Services to the Contract, commence and prosecute with due diligence all Services
necessary to fulfill the terms of the warranty at its sole cost and expense. Contractor shall act
sooner as requested by the City in response to an emergency. In addition, Contractor shall, at its

defective work shall be reinstated for an additional one-year period, commencing with the date of
acceptance of such corrected work. Contractor shall perform such tests as the City may require
to verify that any corrective actions, including, without limitation, redesign, repairs, and
replacements comply with the requirements of the Contract. All costs associated with such
corrective actions and testing, including the removal, replacement, and reinstitution of equipment
and materials necessary to gain access, shall be the sole responsibility of the Contractor. All
warranties and guarantees of subcontractors, suppliers and manufacturers with respect to any
portion of the work, whether express or implied, are deemed to be obtained by Contractor for the
benefit of the City, regardless of whether or not such warranties and guarantees have been
transferred or assigned to the City by separate agreement and Contractor agrees to enforce such
warranties and guarantees, if necessary, on behalf of the City. In the event that Contractor fails
to perform its obligations under this Section, or under any other warranty or guaranty under this
Contract, to the reasonable satisfaction of the City, the City shall have the right to correct and
replace any defective or non-conforming work and any work damaged by such work or the

replacement or correction thereof at Contractor's sole expense. Contractor shall be obligated to

as described below, and if authorized, will be compensated at the rates and manner set forth in
this Agreement.
3.3.2 Payment of Compensation. Contractor shall submit to City a monthly
itemized statement which indicates work completed and hours of Services rendered by
Contractor. The statement shall describe the amount of Services and supplies provided since the
initial commencement date, or since the start of the subsequent billing periods, as appropriate,

the statement and pay all approved charges thereon.
3.3.3 Deductions. City may deduct or withhold, as applicable, from each
progress payment an amount necessary to protect City from loss because of: (1) stop payment
notices as allowed by state law; (2) unsatisfactory prosecution of the Services by Contractor; (3)
sums representing expenses, losses, or damages as determined by the City, incurred by the City
for which Contractor is liable under the Agreement; and (4) any other sums which the City is
entitled to recover from Contractor under the terms of the Agreement or pursuant to state law,
including Section 1727 of the California Labor Code. The failure by the City to deduct any of
these sums from a progress payment shall not constitute a waiver of the City's right to such sums.
3.3.4 Reimbursement for Expenses. Contractor shall not be reimbursed for any
expenses unless authorized in writing by City.
3.3.5 Extra Work. At any time during the term of this Agreement, City may

parties did not reasonably anticipate would be necessary at the execution of this Agreement.
Contractor shall not perform, nor be compensated for, Extra Work without written authorization
from City’s Representative.

Labor Code Section 1720, et seq., and 1770, et seq., as well as California Code of Regulations,
Title 8, Section 16000, et seq., (“Prevailing Wage Laws”), which require the payment of prevailing
wage rates and the performance of other requirements on certain “public works” and
“maintenance” projects. If the Services are being performed as part of an applicable “public
works” or “maintenance” project, as defined by the Prevailing Wage Laws, and if the total
compensation is $1,000 or more, Contractor agrees to fully comply with such Prevailing Wage
Laws. City shall provide Contractor with a copy of the prevailing rates of per diem wages in effect
at the commencement of this Contract. Contractor shall make copies of the prevailing rates of
per diem wages for each craft, classification or type of worker needed to execute the Services
available to interested parties upon request and shall post copies at Contractor’s principal place
of business and at the project site. Contractor shall defend, indemnify and hold the City, its

certified payroll records (Labor Code Sections 1771.4 and 1776), hours of labor (Labor Code
Sections 1813 and 1815) and debarment of contractors and subcontractors (Labor Code Section
1777.1). The requirement to submit certified payroll records directly to the Labor Commissioner
under Labor Code section 1771.4 shall not apply to work performed on a public works project that
is exempt pursuant to the small project exemption specified in Labor Code Section 1771.4.
3.3.7 Registration/DIR Compliance. If the Services are being performed as part
of an applicable “public works” or “maintenance” project, and if the total compensation is $15,000

subcontractors performing such Services must be registered with the Department of Industrial
Relations. Contractor shall maintain registration for the duration of the Project and require the
same of any subcontractors, as applicable. This Project may also be subject to compliance
monitoring and enforcement by the Department of Industrial Relations. It shall be Contractor’s
sole responsibility to comply with all applicable registration and labor compliance requirements.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the contractor registration requirements mandated by Labor Code
Sections 1725.5 and 1771.1 shall not apply to work performed on a public works project that is
exempt pursuant to the small project exemption specified in Labor Code Sections 1725.5 and
1771.1. Any stop orders issued by the Department of Industrial Relations against Contractor or
any subcontractor that affect Contractor’s performance of Services, including any delay, shall be
Contractor’s sole responsibility. Any delay arising out of or resulting from such stop orders shall
be considered Contractor caused delay and shall not be compensable by the City. Contractor
shall defend, indemnify and hold the City, its officials, officers, employees and agents free and
harmless from any claim or liability arising out of stop orders issued by the Department of
Industrial Relations against Contractor or any subcontractor.

PROPOSED SCOPE OF PROJECT/EQUIPMENT SERVICES
The Vendor will furnish all materials, renderings, equipment, tools, removal, installation, labor,
coordination, permits, supervision, freight, and incidentals (including tax) as necessary to perform
and complete the project pursuant to the Request for Vendor Quotes and the Agreement. The
following is a non-inclusive description of the project work and/or goods to be provided.
Asphalt Maintenance and Repair
General. The City of San Bernardino has approximately 534 center lane miles,
approximately 45 parking lots at City parks and City owned facilities, and nearly 120
alleys with asphalt pavement. The City is responsible for repairing, maintaining, and
replacing (as needed) asphalt pavement at all these locations through a combined effort
between the Engineering and Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Divisions of Public
Works. The O&M Division performs minor maintenance and temporary repairs of many
asphalt streets and parking lots while the Engineering Division manages larger projects.
This project addresses minor to medium-sized asphalt repairs on City streets,
parking lots, alleys, and other related infrastructure and is administered through
the O&M division. It seeks the services of an experienced, fully licensed
contractor for Asphalt Maintenance Repair Services with experience in municipal
settings.
Materials. All asphalt materials shall meet the standard requirement of Section 400 of
the Green Book standard specification for Public Works Construction, latest edition.
Materials shall also be free of any residues caused by the artificial distillation of coal,
coal tar, or paraffin. The material shall also be free of water and must be of the
same kind/texture for the entire job. All types must be of PG6410 grade. Contractor
must have the ability to supply the following:
Asphalt Material
•Type 3/4”
•Type ½”

EXHIBIT A
Hours of Operation. All work will be performed Mondays to Saturday within the hours
of 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. unless otherwise exempted by the Contract Administrator.
Customer Service and After-Hours Notification. The vendor is required to have a
dedicated after-hours notification line monitored and answered by an employee that can
dispatch crews should an after-hour emergency or urgent issue occur.
Special Projects. The Contract Administrator will determine when areas of
maintenance may require significant upgrades that are not within the normal scope of
the maintenance services agreement. In such cases, a quote will be requested for the
desired work performed and work may begin once approved and a purchase order is
issued.
Requests from The Public. The vendor is prohibited from taking direct requests from
any residents, City staff (not affiliated with the Operations and Maintenance Division), or
any other organizations. The vendor will make every effort to politely inform the
requesting individual to contact the Contract Administrator or San Bernardino’s Help
Line. Any instance of work performed as a result of a direct request outside of the
Contract Administrator will be cause for termination of the vendor services agreement.
Licenses The Vendor shall confirm that it has all licenses (A, Class C-8, and Class C-
12), permits, certifications, qualification and approvals of whatever nature that are
legally required to provide asphalt paving/repair services, including a City business
license, and that such license and approvals shall be maintained throughout the term of
this Contract.
Safety Requirements. Vendor’s employees shall wear appropriate personal protection
equipment as required.
Traffic Control. Traffic control is the responsibility of the vendor to implement;
however, the contract administrator may assist as needed for larger lane or road
closures which may require an official traffic control plan.
Contractor Compliance/Other Info. If the Contract Administrator determines that there
are deficiencies in the performance of this project, he or she will provide a written notice
to the contractor stating the deficiencies and specifying a time frame to correct the
specified deficiencies. This time frame shall be at least a 30-day notice or as determined
by the Contract Administrator to correct the specified deficiencies.
Should the contractor fail to correct any deficiencies within the stated time frame, the
Contract Administrator may exercise the following measures:
a. Deduct from the contractor’s payment the amount necessary to correct the
deficiency, including City overhead costs and impose a deficiency deduction.
b. Withhold the entire or partial payment.

Fact Sheet on the Types of Asphalt Surface Damage and Suggested Repairs
Because of its durability, asphalt remains the most common type of road surfacing material used for
streets, roads, and parking lots in the United States. Unfortunately, asphalt is not foolproof and will
sustain damage over time. This damage is most represented in the form of potholes. Potholes,
however, are not the only type of surface damage on asphalt streets and the suggested repairs will vary
depending on the desired outcome and desired timespan.
The below table describes the type of asphalt surface damage and suggested methods of repair
(whether temporary or longer term).
Type Description and Suggested Method of Repair
Asphalt Cracks Most common type of pavement damage. Vary in size but most are
thin and may run deep into the surface of the asphalt pavement.
These are typically resolved with a process called crack-sealing. If
left unrepaired, it may lead to large potholes or full street
deterioration which would require street resurfacing.
Potholes The most commonly-reported asphalt damage by residents and
motorists, potholes occur when cracks grow large enough to allow
water to seep into the asphalt and break it apart. This results in
large or small holes in the surface (sometimes, deep into the
sublayers of the street). Potholes are generally repaired with
asphalt mix (hot or cold) depending on size and depth. Pothole
repairs are always temporary and will usually return if the
pavement is not resurfaced. Rains will generally cause potholes to
reappear (especially once the weather warms up).
Alligatoring Alligatoring is typically the result of the expansion or contraction of
asphalt due to weather/temperature changes. As its names
implies, the surface of the street will resemble the scales of an
alligator. If left untreated, it can result in large segments of asphalt
deterioration. Resurfacing or hot mix-segment repairs are
effective options although completely rehabilitating the street
section is best.
Ruts Ruts are best described as deep depressions (dips or mounds) in
the middle of the pavement or near the edges. They are typically
caused by heavy loads and/or excessive traffic volume. Most ruts
are found near industrial areas where large trucks are common or
at bus stop intersections. Ruts may be repaired with grinding and
resurfacing treatments but are best resolved with a full
rehabilitation of the street segment.
Raveling Raveling occurs when asphalt particles flake off the surface of the
asphalt pavement. Once the top layer wears off and the underlying
aggregate is exposed, decreased traction will become common and
further deterioration of the surface will occur. Raveling may be
repaired with a resurfacing treatment but it is important that it be
caught early on. Hot mix segment repairs may be a good option.

DISCUSSION
City of San Bernardino
Request for Council Action
Date:November 1, 2023
To:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From:Charles A. Montoya, City Manager
Suzie H. Soren, Director of Human Resources
Department:Human Resources
Subject:Proposed Administrative Policy Establishing the Municipal
Volunteer Program (MVP) for the Offices of Elected
Officials (All Wards)
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,
California, review and consider the proposed administrative policy and provide
direction for modifications or adopt Resolution No. 2023-172 as presented establishing
the Municipal Volunteer Program (MVP) – Offices of the Elected Officials Policy.
Executive Summary
On April 19, 2023, the Mayor & City Council unanimously voted to have the
administrative policy establishing the Municipal Volunteer Program (MVP) for the
Offices of Elected Officials brought forward for consideration. The policy will outline the
process for requesting, onboarding, and offboarding volunteers (including interns) in
the Offices of the Mayor and City Council. Establishing the policy has no financial
impact to the City.
Background
The City of San Bernardino is a charter city operating under a council-manager form
of government. The City Charter is the document adopted by voters that defines the
organization, powers, functions and essential procedures of the city government and
the Municipal Code contains the local laws and regulations adopted by the Mayor and
City Council that establish zoning and development standards, traffic regulations,
administrative standards and the like.
In addition to the City Charter and Municipal Code, it is important for the City to
implement policies and procedures that establish the controls needed to ensure that
City employees and elected and appointed officials are able to operate under a clear
Packet Page. 228
set of guidelines that align with the laws and regulations that govern the City.
On February 3, 2021, the Mayor and Council provided conceptual support for the
development of a comprehensive administrative policy manual.
On July 21, 2021, the Mayor and City Council did not take action on the MVP policy
pertaining to the Offices of Elected Officials.
On April 19, 2023, the Mayor and City Council unanimously voted to have the policy
brought forward for consideration again.
Discussion
The Municipal Volunteer Program is the perfect opportunity for the community to get
involved in civic activities. Volunteers are an important part of any organization and a
valuable asset to the City. Volunteers help to increase responsiveness, delivery of
services and information input, and provide new program opportunities. A volunteer is
an individual, including an unpaid intern, who performs a service for the City without
promise, expectation, or receipt of compensation for services rendered. Accordingly, a
policy establishing a uniform method for the management of City volunteers to ensure
consistency is recommended.
This policy will only apply to volunteers in the Offices of the Mayor and City Council
and does not apply to volunteers working on a one-day assignment for a community
clean-up, park improvement project, or similar activity that does not extend beyond a
single day of service.
Recruitment, Selection, and On-Boarding
To begin the recruitment process or to request a volunteer position, a Volunteer
Requisition Form (VRF) will need to be submitted to the Human Resources Department
for processing. The VRF will be submitted and will list the duties and responsibilities
assigned to the volunteer, the duration of assignment, and the supervising City
employee responsible for the oversight of the volunteer. A background investigation
will be conducted on each volunteer before on-boarding with the City. A volunteer may
not begin their assignment without completing the required paperwork including a
volunteer release and waiver of liability form and a confidentiality and non-disclosure
agreement to protect the City’s interests. Once the volunteer is clear for on-boarding
with the City, staff shall submit to the Human Resources Department the Volunteer
Access List (VAL) form identifying the information technology and phone access levels
requested for the volunteer. Tools and equipment including the office space required
for the volunteer will need to be included in the department’s existing authorized
budget.
Supervision of Volunteers
Each volunteer who is accepted to a position with the City must have a clearly identified
supervisor who is a City employee and will be responsible for direct management and
oversight of that volunteer. The supervisor is responsible for scheduling the volunteer’s
Packet Page. 229
hours while keeping the safety of the volunteer a top priority. It is important to consider
the nature of the work volunteers are performing and how much attention each requires
when determining the number of volunteers assigned to each supervisor. The nature
of the work being performed and how much attention it requires in conjunction with
supervisors’ existing deliverables and priorities should govern the number of volunteers
assigned.
Special Considerations
To ensure that the City is able to provide the necessary oversight and support for
volunteers working with the offices of the Mayor and City Council, this policy
establishes limits for the number of assigned volunteers supporting each of our elected
officials. Under the MVP – Offices of Elected Officials policy, each Council member
and the Mayor will be limited to one (1) volunteer at any given time. Additionally, to
avoid any conflicts with the Political Reform Act and the use of City facilities and
resources for political purposes, a City volunteer working in an elected official’s office
cannot simultaneously work (or volunteer) on the elected official’s campaign.
End of Assignment
At the end of the assignment the Offices of the Mayor and City Council will notify the
Human Resources Department and submit a VAL form to turn off all access levels to
the City’s systems and process any other necessary paperwork such as the
Department of Justice forms to end the subsequent notifications of any activity
associated with the volunteer
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
Approval of this administrative policy aligns with Key Target No. 2: Focused, Aligned
Leadership and Unified Community by establishing clear and concise procedures for
staff and elected officials to follow that promote a professional environment and
contribute toward a culture that attracts, retains, and motivates the highest quality
talent.
Fiscal Impact
There is no financial impact associated with the development of an administrative
policy beyond dedicated staff time, City equipment and/or work space.
Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,
California, review and consider the proposed administrative policy and provide
direction for modifications or adopt Resolution No. 2023-XXX as presented
establishing the Municipal Volunteer Program (MVP) – Offices of the Elected Officials
Policy.

Purpose: To establish a policy and procedure for the use of volunteers.
Authority: Resolution No. ______________
Scope:
Unless otherwise stipulated herein, this policy applies to all volunteers working in the
offices of elected officials within the Office of the Mayor and the City Council Office.
Qualified volunteers are used for specified tasks and duties to create efficiencies and
improve services to the community. Volunteers are an important part of any
organization and are a valuable asset to the City. Volunteers help to increase
responsiveness, delivery of services and information input, and provide new program
opportunities. In addition, volunteers bring new skills and expertise to the City and
prompt new enthusiasm. A volunteer is an individual, including an unpaid intern, who
performs a service for the City without promise, expectation, or receipt of
compensation for services rendered.
Exemption from Scope
None
Policy:
Recruitment & Equal Opportunity
Volunteers may be recruited on a continuous and ongoing basis. To begin the
recruitment process a Volunteer Requisition Form (VRF) shall be submitted to the
Human Resources Department for processing. The VRF form will be signed by a
department head or designee and shall include the duties and responsibilities assigned
to the volunteer, the anticipated duration of the assignment, and the supervising City
employee responsible for oversight of the volunteer.
Packet Page. 235
Procedure for the Municipal Volunteer Program (MVP)
City of San Bernardino - Administrative Policy Manual
Community members are encouraged get involved in civic activities through volunteer
opportunities with the City. A primary qualification for participation in the process should
be an interest in, and an ability to assist the City in serving the public. All parties should
understand that the recruitment of volunteers is enhanced by creative and interesting
assignments.
The City affords equal opportunity to all qualified volunteers, and prohibits discrimination
on the basis of race, religious creed, disability, medical condition, genetic information,
marital status, sex, gender, gender identity, gender expression, age (40 and over),
sexual orientation, or military and veteran status or other basis protected by law.
Background Investigation
A background investigation will be conducted on each volunteer before onboarding with
the City. The investigation may include references and background information,
including criminal records of individual candidate’s consistent with applicable state and
federal laws and regulations. The volunteer will not be privy to any information revealed
during the course of the background investigation or receive feedback about the
investigation. Any false statement, either written or verbal, will cause the volunteer’s
name to be removed from consideration for the volunteer program and will be cause for
immediate dismissal if an appointment has been made.
Selection and Placement
Service as a volunteer with the City will begin with an official notice of acceptance or
appointment to a volunteer position. Notice may only be given by an authorized
representative of the City. No volunteer will begin any assignment until they have been
officially accepted for a position and completed all required screening and paperwork,
including but not limited to a volunteer release and waiver of liability. Volunteers should
be placed only in assignments or programs that are consistent with their knowledge,
skills, abilities and the needs of the City.
The department head or designee shall submit to the Human Resources Department,
the Volunteer Access List (VAL) form inclusive of the department head’s signature
identifying the information technology and phone access levels requested for the
volunteer. Tools and equipment including the office space required for the volunteer
will need to be included in the department’s existing authorized budget.
Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure
All volunteers are required to abide by the same standards of confidentiality and non-
disclosure required by employees of the City. With appropriate clearance, volunteers
Packet Page. 236
Procedure for the Municipal Volunteer Program (MVP)
City of San Bernardino - Administrative Policy Manual
may have access to confidential, sensitive, or privileged information or materials.
Unless otherwise directed by a supervising City employee, all such information shall be
considered confidential. Only that information specifically identified and approved by
authorized personnel will be released. The use of any confidential, sensitive, or
privileged materials, and removing materials or reproductions is strictly prohibited,
except as required in the rightful discharge of the duties performed by the volunteer.
Each volunteer will be required to sign a nondisclosure agreement before being given
an assignment. Subsequent unauthorized disclosure of any confidential information,
verbally, in writing or by any other means, by the volunteer is grounds for immediate
removal. Additionally, the City may seek other criminal or civil sanctions or damages
allowed by law.
Supervision of Volunteers
Each volunteer who is accepted to a position with the City must have a clearly
identified supervisor, a City employee, responsible for direct management and
oversight of that volunteer. The supervisor is responsible for scheduling the
volunteer’s hours while keeping the safety of the volunteer a top priority, will be
responsible for day-to-day management and guidance of the work of the volunteer,
and should be available to the volunteer for consultation and assistance. A volunteer
may be assigned and act as a supervisor of other volunteers provided that the
supervising volunteer is under the direct supervision of a City employee at all times.
Following are some considerations to keep in mind while supervising volunteers:
(a) Take the time to introduce volunteers to employees on all levels.
(b) Ensure volunteers have work space and necessary office supplies.
(c) Make sure the work is challenging. Do not hesitate to give them an
assignment or task that will tap these valuable resources.
It is important to consider the nature of the work volunteers are performing and how
much attention each requires when determining the number of volunteers assigned to
each supervisor. For example, assignments with high degrees of collaboration and
interaction might productively tolerate no more than one or two volunteers. The nature
of the work being performed and how much attention it requires in conjunction with
supervisors existing deliverables and priorities should govern the number of
volunteers assigned.

Mayor and City Council Special Considerations
In order to ensure that the City is able to provide the necessary oversight and support
for volunteers working with the offices of the Mayor and City Council this policy
establishes limits for the number of assigned volunteers supporting each of our elected
officials. Under this policy, each Councilmember and the Mayor will be able to have one

Political Reform Act and the use of City facilities and resources for political purposes, a
City volunteer working in an elected official’s office cannot simultaneously work (or
volunteer) on the elected official’s campaign.
Property and Equipment
Volunteers will be issued an identification card that must be worn at all times while
onsite or performing the duties of their assignment with the City. Volunteers shall not
maintain they represent the City in any matters outside the scope of their assignment,
and will be identified as City volunteer in all communications. If a working title is used,
the title will include the volunteer designation for enhanced transparency. For example,
if the volunteer is an office worker then title used by the volunteer would be
“VOLUNTEER Office Worker.”
All property and equipment will need to remain onsite or under the supervision of the
City employee. Volunteers shall not be allowed to drive City vehicles or drive their
personal vehicle for City business.
Fitness for Duty
No volunteer shall report to their assignment when their judgment or physical condition
has been impaired by alcohol, medication, and other substances.
Dress Code
Volunteers are responsible for presenting a professional image to the community.
Volunteers shall dress appropriately for the conditions and performance of their duties.
End of Assignment
Any fixed and portable equipment issued by the City is for official and authorized use
only. Any property or equipment issued to a volunteer will remain the property of the
City and shall be returned at the end of the assignment to the volunteer supervisor.

VOLUNTEER RELEASE & WAIVER OF LIABILITY
Required by the City of San Bernardino for all volunteers.
Please read carefully! This is a legal document that affects your legal rights.
I want to participate in volunteer activities for the City of San Bernardino, henceforth referred to as City. As a City volunteer, I
freely, voluntarily, and without duress execute this Release and Waiver under the following terms:
1. Assumption of Risk. I understand that my work for the City may include activities that are hazardous and/or physically
strenuous and that I may be exposed to personal injury or damage to my property as a result of my activities, the activities of
other persons, or the conditions under which my services are performed while participating in City volunteer activities.
Though the City will provide me with support, supervision, training, and supplies to accomplish assigned tasks, I agree to th e
following:
□ I will follow all instructions provided by the City, its employees, or volunteer coordinators.
