Housing Commission Recommendation
The Housing Commission reviewed this recommendation at its regular meeting of April 7,
2021 and unanimously recommended approval of staff’s recommendation.
Strategic Plan
This request does not apply to a specific strategic plan goal.
Background Analysis
In 2016, a roof assessment of all properties under the Authority’s portfolio was completed.
From the assessment, it was determined that Taos Palms Apartments (“Taos”) and Desert
Pointe Apartments (“Desert Pointe”), located at 44-830 Las Palmas Avenue and 43-805
Monterey Avenue, Palm Desert, California respectively (the “Properties”), were part of the top
five (5) from the Authority’s portfolio that had an immediate need to address and repair their
roofing system.
In discussing the approach and scope to address the roofing system at the Properties, it was
suggested as an option, that the Authority continue purchasing the roofing materials through
Garland under a government cooperative program with the labor being solicited formally
through a bidding process. Staff considered this approach with the consideration to confirm
the labor wages under the government cooperative agreement were within local area wages
as well as to continue receiving the benefit of the reduced cost for materials and supplies
under the government cooperative program. The reduced cost for materials and supplies
under a government cooperative program is approximately 20% less to the Authority
compared to procuring the materials and supplies on the open market. Opting to use
Garland’s products would also reduce the variation contractors would propose as part of their
bids and the customary markup applied to the materials and the warranty period for the life
of the roof were longer.
Staff developed the scope for the Project and it includes, among other things, roof
rehabilitation of all four (4) apartment buildings at the Taos Palms property; and roof
rehabilitation of all four (4) apartment buildings and one (1) equipment/pool room at the Desert
Pointe property. The work consists of furnishing all labor, necessary tools and machinery,
supervision, and all utility and transportation services required for the replacement of existing
roofing, repairs and any related roofing components. The Project materials and supplies were
identified in the Project bid specifications as Garland products that the Authority would provide
to the successful bidder for use on the Project, with Garland verifying and guaranteeing the
quantities based on the specifications.

The Project was advertised for bid on February 2, 2021, and on March 16, 2021, seven bids
were received via the City of Palm Desert’s (the “City”) online PlanetBids bidding portal with
the following results:
Contractor Location Total Base Bid
Best Contracting Services, Inc. Gardena, CA $627,837.00
Commercial Waterproofing Systems, Inc.
dba ERC Roofing & Waterproofing
Santa Ana, CA $656,855.00
R&R Roofing & Waterproofing, Inc. Lake Elsinore, CA $734,362.50
Chapman Coast Roof Co., Inc. Fullerton, CA $771,423.50
Tecta-America So. Cal., Inc. Santa Ana, CA $821,725.00
Commercial Roofing Systems, Inc. Arcadia, CA $828,012.00
Danny Letner Inc. dba Letner Roofing Co. Orange, CA $991,288.50
The bid submitted by Best Contracting Services had two minor discrepancies including an
omitted corporate seal and bid form with minor information left blank. Staff has reviewed the
bid protest with the City Attorney, and finds that the discrepancies in the bid forms are
immaterial, and do not impact the responsiveness of the low bid. Staff recommends the City
Council proceed with the award of the construction contract for the project to Best Contracting
Services, Inc. and waive the minor bid discrepancies.
The provisions of the City of Palm Desert Municipal Code Section 3.30.160(E), allow the
Authority to participate as a government entity with the California Multiple Award Schedule
(“CMAS”) and use their program pricing for purchases through Garland for roofing materials
and supplies, so long as the price to the Authority is equal to or better than the price to the
state. Garland has confirmed they will provide to the Authority, as a participating entity,
CMAS contract terms, products, product warranty, services and pricing for the roofing
materials and supplies at prices equal to or better than its prices to the state. Staff
recommends the Authority Board to authorize the use of Garland as a vendor through a
government purchasing cooperative contract for the purchase of the roofing materials and
supplies needed to complete Project in the amount of $368,584.89.
The total Project cost with labor, materials and supplies is $996,421.89 plus contingency in
the amount of $62,784. The total actual budget for the Project based on the labor estimate
and costs for material (based on prior CMAS priced projects), is $142,578.11 less than
anticipated.
Project Costs Estimated Budget Actual Budget
Materials & Supplies, CMAS Pricing $400,000.00 $368,584.89
Labor for Work to be Performed $739,000.00 $627,837.00
Total Project Costs $1,139,000.00 $996,421.89
Staff recommends that the Authority Board approve this request and related actions.

employees, shall be included as additional insureds under the Products and
Completed Operations coverage.

premium from Contractor payments. In the alternative, the Authority may cancel

Manager.
7. Waiver of Subrogation. All insurance coverage maintained or procured pursuant
to this agreement shall be endorsed to waive subrogation against the Authority,
the City, their elected or appointed officers, agents, officials, employees and
volunteers, or shall specifically allow Contractor or others providing insurance
evidence in compliance with these specifications to waive their right of recovery
prior to a loss. Contractor hereby waives its own right of recovery against the
Authority, the City, their elected or appointed officers, agents, officials, employees,
representatives and volunteers and shall require similar written express waivers
and insurance clauses from each of its subcontractors.
8. Enforcement of Contract Provisions (non estoppel). Contractor acknowledges and
agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of the Authority to inform
Contractor of non-compliance with any requirement imposes no additional
obligations on the Authority nor does it waive any rights hereunder.
9. Requirements Not Limiting. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits
contained in this Section are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits or
other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any
insurance. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of
clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not intended by any party or
insured to be all inclusive, or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a waiver of any
type. If the Contractor maintains higher limits than the minimums shown above,
the Authority requires and shall be entitled to coverage for the higher limits

and insurers to provide to the Authority with a thirty (30) day notice of cancellation
(except for nonpayment for which a ten (10) day notice is required) or nonrenewal
of coverage for each required coverage.
11. Additional Insured Status. General liability, automobile liability, and if applicable,
pollution liability policies shall provide or be endorsed to provide that the Authority,
the City, and their officers, officials, employees, agents, representative and
volunteers shall be additional insureds under such policies. This provision shall
also apply to any excess/umbrella liability policies. Coverage shall be at least as
broad as coverage provided by ISO’s Owners, Lessees, or Contractors Additional
Insured Endorsement for the ongoing (i.e. ISO Form CG 20 10 07 04) and
completed operations (i.e. ISO Form CG 20 37 07 04) of Contractor.
12. Prohibition of Undisclosed Coverage Limitations. None of the coverages required
herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting
endorsement of any kind that has not been first submitted to the Authority and
approved of in writing.
13. Separation of Insureds. A severability of interests provision must apply for all
additional insureds ensuring that Contractor’s insurance shall apply separately to
each insured against whom claim is made or suit is brought, except with respect
to the insurer’s limits of liability. The policy(ies) shall not contain any cross-liability
exclusions.
14. Pass Through Clause. Contractor agrees to ensure that its sub-consultants, sub-
contractors, and any other party involved with the Project who is brought onto or
involved in the project by Contractor, provide the same minimum insurance
coverage and endorsements required of Contractor. Contractor agrees to monitor
and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such
coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section. Contractor
agrees that upon request, all agreements with consultants, subcontractors, and
others engaged in the Project will be submitted to the Authority for review.
15. Authority’s Right to Revise Requirements. The Authority or the City’s Risk Manager
reserves the right at any time during the term of the contract to change the amounts
and types of insurance required by giving the Contractor ninety (90) days advance
written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost
to the Contractor, the Authority and Contractor may renegotiate Contractor’s
compensation. If the Authority reduces the insurance requirements, the change
shall go into effect immediately and require no advanced written notice.
16. Self-Insured Retentions. Any self-insured retentions must be declared to and
approved by the Authority. The Authority reserves the right to require that self-
insured retentions be eliminated, lowered, or replaced by a deductible. Self-
insurance will not be considered to comply with these specifications unless
approved by the Authority.

and expense, any additional kinds of insurance, which in its own judgment may be

Section 7. PAYMENTS.
A. Terms of payment, are net thirty (30) days, less any applicable retention,
after receipt of invoice, or completion of applicable Progress Milestones. Final payment
shall be made by Authority after Supplier has satisfied all contractual requirements.
Payment of invoices shall not constitute acceptance of Goods.
B. If Progress Milestones have been specified in Exhibit “B,” then payments
for the Goods will be made as the requirements of such Progress Milestones are met.
Progress payments for the Goods will be made by Authority upon proper application by
Supplier during the progress of the Goods and according to the terms of payment as
specified in Exhibit “B.” Supplier’s progress billing invoice will include progress payments
due for the original scope of work and changes. Each “Item for Payment” shown in Exhibit
“B” and each change order will be itemized on the invoice. Invoices for cost plus work,
whether part of Exhibit “B” or a change order, must have subcontractor and/or supplier
invoices attached to Supplier’s invoice. Other format and support documents for invoices
will be determined by Authority in advance of the first invoice cycle.
C. Payments otherwise due may be withheld by Authority on account of
defective Goods not remedied, liens or other claims filed, reasonable evidence indicating
probable filing of liens or other claims, failure of Supplier to make payments properly to
its subcontractors or for material or labor, the failure of Supplier to perform any of its other
obligations under the Agreement, or to protect Authority against any liability arising out of
Supplier’s failure to pay or discharge taxes or other obligations. If the causes for which
payment is withheld are removed, the withheld payments will be made promptly. If the
said causes are not removed within a reasonable period after written notice, Authority
may remove them at Supplier’s expense.
D. Payment of the final Progress Milestone payment or any retention will be
made by Authority upon:
1. Submission of an invoice for satisfactory completion of the
requirements of a Progress Milestone as defined in Exhibit “B” and in the amount
associated with the Progress Milestone;
2. Written acceptance of the Goods by Authority;
3. Delivery of all drawings and specifications, if required by Authority;
4. Delivery of executed full releases of any and all liens arising out of
this Agreement; and
5. Delivery of an affidavit listing all persons who might otherwise be
entitled to file, claim, or maintain a lien of any kind or character, and containing an
averment that all of the said persons have been paid in full.
If any person refuses to furnish an actual release or receipt in full, Supplier may
DRAFT FOR DISCUSSION
5
furnish a bond satisfactory to Authority to indemnify Authority against any claim or lien at
no cost to Authority.
E. Acceptance by Supplier of payment of the final Progress Milestone payment
pursuant to Section 7.D will constitute a waiver, release and discharge of any and all
claims and demands of any kind or character which Supplier then has, or can
subsequently acquire against Authority, its successors and assigns, for or on account of
any matter or thing arising out of, or in any manner connected with, the performance of
this Agreement. However, payment for the final Progress Milestone by Authority will not
constitute a waiver, release or discharge of any claims or demands which Authority then
has, or can subsequently acquire, against Supplier, its successors and assigns, for or on
account of any matter or thing arising out of, or in any manner connected with, the
performance of this Agreement.
Section 8. SCHEDULE FOR DELIVERY.
A. The time of Supplier’s performance is of the essence for this Agreement.
The Goods will be delivered in accordance with the schedule set forth in Exhibit “B.”
Supplier must immediately notify Authority in writing any time delivery is behind schedule
or may not be completed on schedule. In addition to any other rights Authority may have
under this Agreement or at law, Supplier shall pay Authority the sum of $300 per item of
Goods for each calendar day for which the item of Goods is unavailable beyond the
scheduled delivery date(s) specified in Exhibit “B.”
B. In the event that the Goods is part of a larger project or projects that require
the coordination of multiple contractors or suppliers, then Supplier will fully cooperate in
scheduling the delivery so that Authority can maximize the efficient completion of such
project(s).
Section 9. TAXES.
A. Supplier agrees to timely pay all sales and use tax (including any value
added or gross receipts tax imposed similar to a sales and use tax) imposed by any
federal, state or local taxing authority on the ultimate purchase price of the Goods
provided under this Agreement.
B. Supplier will withhold, and require its subcontractors, where applicable, to
withhold all required taxes and contributions of any federal, state or local taxing authority
which is measured by wages, salaries or other remuneration of its employees or the
employees of its subcontractors. Supplier will deposit, or cause to be deposited, in a
timely manner with the appropriate taxing authorities all amounts required to be withheld.
C. All other taxes, however denominated or measured, imposed upon the price
of the Goods provided hereunder, will be the responsibility of Supplier. In addition, all
taxes assessed by any taxing jurisdiction based on Supplier property used or consumed
DRAFT FOR DISCUSSION

in the provision of the Goods such as and including ad valorem, use, personal property
and inventory taxes will be the responsibility of Supplier.
D. Supplier will, upon written request, submit to Authority written evidence of
any filings or payments of all taxes required to be paid by Supplier hereunder.
Section 10. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR.
Supplier enters into this Agreement as an independent contractor and not as an
employee of Authority. Supplier shall have no power or authority by this Agreement to
bind Authority in any respect. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to be
inconsistent with this relationship or status. All employees, agents, contractors or
subcontractors hired or retained by the Supplier are employees, agents, contractors or
subcontractors of the Supplier and not of Authority. Authority shall not be obligated in
any way to pay any wage claims or other claims made against Supplier by any such
employees, agents, contractors or subcontractors or any other person resulting from
performance of this Agreement.
Section 11. SUBCONTRACTS.
Unless otherwise specified, Supplier must obtain Authority’s written permission
before subcontracting any portion of the Goods. Except for the insurance requirements
in Section 14.A, all subcontracts and orders for the purchase or rental of supplies,
materials or equipment, or any other part of the Goods, will require that the subcontractor
be bound by and subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Agreement. No
subcontract or order will relieve Supplier from its obligations to Authority, including, but
not limited to Supplier’s insurance and indemnification obligations. No subcontract or
order will bind Authority.
Section 12. TITLE AND RISK OF LOSS.
Unless otherwise agreed, Authority will have title to, and risk of loss of, all
completed and partially completed portions of the Goods upon delivery, as well as
materials delivered to and stored on Authority property which are intended to become a
part of the Goods. However, Supplier will be liable for any loss or damage to the Goods
and/or the materials caused by Supplier or its subcontractors, their agents or employees,
and Supplier will replace or repair said Goods or materials at its own cost to the complete
satisfaction of Authority. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Authority
has paid Supplier for all or a portion of the Goods which remains in the possession of
Supplier, then Authority shall have title to, and the right to take possession of, such Goods
at any time following payment therefor. Risk of loss for any Goods which remains in the
possession of Supplier shall remain with Supplier until such Goods has been delivered or
Authority has taken possession thereof. Supplier will have risk of loss or damage to
Supplier’s property used in the construction of the Goods but which does not become a
part of the Goods.

any additional insureds shall not be called upon to contribute to any loss, and shall contain
or be endorsed with a waiver of subrogation in favor of the Authority, City, and their
officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers. The limits set forth herein shall
apply separately to each insured against whom claims are made or suits are brought,
except with respect to the limits of liability. Requirements of specific coverage or limits
contained in this section are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits, or other
requirement, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any insurance. Any
available coverage shall be provided to the parties required to be named as additional
insured pursuant to this Agreement.

account of any labor, materials, fixtures, tools, machinery, equipment, or any other things

manner connected with the Agreement (such liens or claims referred to as “Claims”); and
Supplier, subcontractor and suppliers expressly waive and relinquish any and all rights
which they now have, or may subsequently acquire, to file or maintain any Claim and
Supplier, subcontractor and suppliers agree that this provision waiving the right of Claims
will be an independent covenant.
B. Supplier will save and hold Authority harmless from and against any and all
Claims that may be filed by a subcontractor, supplier or any other person or entity and
Supplier will, at its own expense, defend any and all actions based upon such Claims and
will pay all charges of attorneys and all costs and other expenses arising from such
Claims.
Section 16. TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT BY AUTHORITY.
A. Should Supplier at any time refuse or fail to deliver the Goods with
promptness and diligence, or to perform any of its other obligations under the Agreement,
Authority may terminate Supplier’s right to proceed with the delivery of the Goods by
written notice to Supplier. In such event Authority may obtain the Goods by whatever
method it may deem expedient, including the hiring of another contractor or other
contractors and, for that purpose, may take possession of all materials, machinery,
equipment, tools and appliances and exercise all rights, options and privileges of
Supplier. In such case Supplier will not be entitled to receive any further payments until
the Goods is delivered. If Authority’s cost of obtaining the Goods, including compensation
for additional managerial and administrative services, will exceed the unpaid balance of
the Agreement, Supplier will be liable for and will pay the difference to Authority.
B. Authority may, for its own convenience, terminate Supplier’s right to
proceed with the delivery of any portion or all of the Goods by written notice to Supplier.
Such termination will be effective in the manner specified in such notice, will be without
prejudice to any claims which Authority may have against Supplier, and will not affect the
obligations and duties of Supplier under the Agreement with respect to portions of the
Goods not terminated.
C. On receipt of notice under Section 16.B, Supplier will, with respect to the
portion of the Goods terminated, unless the notice states otherwise,
1. Immediately discontinue such portion of the Goods and the placing
of orders for materials, facilities, and supplies in connection with the Goods,

Authority; and
3. Deliver only such portions of the Goods which Authority deems
necessary to preserve and protect those portions of the Goods already in progress
and to protect material, plant and equipment at the Goods site or in transit to the
Goods site.
D. Upon termination pursuant to Section 16.B, Supplier will be paid a pro rata
portion of the compensation in the Agreement for any portion of the terminated Goods
already delivered, including material and services for which it has made firm contracts
which are not canceled, it being understood that Authority will be entitled to such material
and services. Upon determination of the amount of said pro rata compensation, Authority
will promptly pay such amount to Supplier upon delivery by Supplier of the releases of
liens and affidavit, pursuant to Section 7.C.
Section 17. FORCE MAJEURE
A. Supplier shall not be held responsible for failure or delay in shipping nor
Authority for failure or delay in accepting goods described herein if such failure or delay
is due to a Force Majeure Event.
B. A Force Majeure Event shall mean an event that materially affects a Party’s
performance and is one or more of the following: (1) Acts of God or other natural disasters
occurring at the project site; (2) terrorism or other acts of a public enemy; (3) orders of
governmental authorities (including, without limitation, unreasonable and unforeseeable
delay in the issuance of permits or approvals by governmental authorities that are
required for the work); (4) pandemics, epidemics or quarantine restrictions; and (5) strikes
and other organized labor action occurring at the project site and the effects thereof on
the work, only to the extent such strikes and other organized labor action are beyond the
control of Supplier and its subcontractors, of every tier, and to the extent the effects
thereof cannot be avoided by use of replacement workers. For purposes of this section,
“orders of governmental authorities,” includes ordinances, emergency proclamations and
orders, rules to protect the public health, welfare and safety, and other actions of the
Authority in its capacity as a municipal authority.
C. In the event of any such excused interference with shipments, Authority
shall have the option either to reduce the quantity provided for in the order accordingly or
to exercise its right of cancellation as set forth in this Agreement.
