Background Analysis
The City experiences a variety of electrical issues over the course of a year which
necessitates the need for on-call electrical services. These services include but are not
limited to, repairs/replacement of energy consuming bulbs to light emitting diode (LED)
fixtures in medians/parks/parking lots, vandalism to existing lights such as ground lights,
install of new electrical panels and conduit, as well as troubleshooting other electrical
problems.
Currently, the City contracts with Grayco Electric and Palmer Electric for miscellaneous
electrical and lighting services. Those contracts were executed in 2020 for $50,000 per

vendor and expire on June 30, 2021. Annually, the City expends approximately $90,000
to $95,000 for on-call electrical services under these contracts. In FY 20/21, only two
contractors responded to the Request for Quotes (RFQ).
For the upcoming fiscal year, the on-call electrical services contract was advertised in a
single Request for Proposal (RFP) as a multi-year, renewable contract up to $125,000
annually, subject to funding availability and City Council approval. This is considered a
“contractual service” under Section 3.30.020 of the City’s Municipal Code. Contractual
services are awarded in the best interest of the City and are not subject to a low bid,
competitive process. (See § 3.30.070(C)). For example, contractual services over
$50,000 may be awarded through the best competitive value procedures in Section
3.30.140 through an RFP. This process evaluates not only cost but other factors such as
experience, equipment, and qualified labor.
City staff advertised a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the On-Call Electrical Services on
PlanetBids, and on March 17, 2021, the City received seven proposals. A review
committee consisting of two Public Works staff and one from Building and Safety
Department reviewed the proposals according to the following criteria in the RFP, and
ranked the proposals based on:
• Clarity and Conformance of the proposal
• Firm staffing and Key Personnel
• Experience and Technical Competence
• References
• Fee Proposal

of the proposals received.

L. Palmer Electric, Inc. has been in the electrical trade for fifteen years and has worked
on City park and landscape for over ten years. By consolidating smaller contracts and
awarding to one contractor, the City will receive faster response times and a consistent
level of service. This contract is a prevailing wage contract and will adhere to all California
Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) regulations with the following rates:

Funds in the amount of $125,000 for electrical services were included in various
landscape accounts in the FY 2021/2022 proposed budget; therefore, there is no fiscal
impact beyond the contract amount. Funds will only be expended to the extent necessary
for the call-out work performed during the contract period.

compliance with these specifications to waive their right of recovery prior to a loss. Contractor
hereby waives its own right of recovery against the City, its elected or appointed officers, and their
respective agents, officials, employees, volunteers and representatives, and shall require similar
written express waivers and insurance clauses from each of its subcontractors.
(G) Enforcement of Contract Provisions (non estoppel).
Contractor acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of the City to
inform Contractor of non-compliance with any requirement imposes no additional obligations on
the City nor does it waive any rights hereunder.

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.

maintained by the Contractor. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified
minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the City.

(J) Additional Insured Status. General liability, automobile
liability, and if applicable, pollution liability and cyber liability, policies shall provide or be endorsed
to provide that the City, its elected or appointed officers, and their respective agents, officials,
employees, volunteers and representatives, shall be additional insureds under such policies. This
provision shall also apply to any excess/umbrella liability policies.
(K) 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 City and approved of in
writing.
(L) 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.
(M)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

requirements of this section. Contractor agrees that upon request, all agreements with
consultants, subcontractors, and others engaged in the Project will be submitted to City for review.

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

renegotiate Contractor’s compensation. If the City reduces the insurance requirements, the
change shall go into effect immediately and require no advanced written notice.
(O) Self-Insured Retentions. Any self-insured retentions must
be declared to and approved by City. City reserves the right to require that self-insured retentions
be eliminated, lowered, or replaced by a deductible. Self-insurance will not be considered to
comply with these specifications unless approved by City.

and timely notice of claims made or suits instituted that arise out of or result from Contractor’s
performance under this Agreement, and that involve or may involve coverage under any of the
required liability policies.

maintain, at its own cost and expense, any additional kinds of insurance, which in its own
judgment may be necessary for its proper protection and prosecution of the work.

or damage to any person or property. In carrying out its Services, the Contractor shall at all times
be in compliance with all applicable local, state and federal laws, rules and regulations, and shall
exercise all necessary precautions for the safety of employees appropriate to the nature of the
work and the conditions under which the work is to be performed. Safety precautions, where

3.2.13.1 Performance 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 Performance
Bond in the amount of the total, not-to-exceed compensation indicated in this Agreement, and in
a form provided or approved by the City. If such bond is required, no payment will be made to
Contractor 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

approved by the City. If such bond is required, no payment will be made to Contractor until it has
been received and approved by the City.
3.2.13.3 Bond Provisions. Should, in City’s sole opinion, any bond
become insufficient or any surety be found to be unsatisfactory, Contractor shall renew or replace
the affected bond within ten (10) days of receiving notice from City. In the event the surety or
Contractor intends to reduce or cancel any required bond, at least thirty (30) days prior written
notice shall be given to the City, and Contractor shall post acceptable replacement bonds at least
ten (10) days prior to expiration of the original bonds. No further payments shall be deemed due
or will be made under this Agreement until any replacement bonds required by this Section are
accepted by the City. To the extent, if any, that the total compensation is increased in accordance
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
above), extensions of time, or modifications of the time, terms, or conditions of payment to the
Contractor, will release the surety. If the Contractor fails to furnish any required bond, the City
may terminate this Agreement for cause.

surety insurer, as defined in Code of Civil Procedure Section 995.120, shall be accepted. The
surety must be a California-admitted surety with a current A.M. Best’s rating no less than A:VIII
and satisfactory to the City. If a California-admitted surety insurer issuing bonds does not meet
these requirements, the insurer will be considered qualified if it is in conformance with

the elements, or from any unforeseen difficulties which may arise or be encountered in the
prosecution of the Services until the same is fully completed and accepted by City.
3.2.17 Warranty. Contractor warrants all Services under the Agreement (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 Agreement 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 Agreement, 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
sole cost and expense, repair and replace any portions of the work (or work of other contractors)
damaged by its defective Services or which becomes damaged in the course of repairing or
replacing defective work. For any work so corrected, Contractor’s obligation hereunder to correct
defective work shall be reinstated for an additional one (1) 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 Agreement. 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
Agreement, 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
fully reimburse the City for any expenses incurred hereunder upon demand.

of final payment shall not constitute a waiver of any claims by the City for any reason whatsoever.
.
3.3.3 Reimbursement for Expenses. Contractor shall not be reimbursed for any
expenses unless authorized in writing by City.

specified in Labor Code Section 1771.4.
3.3.6 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

sole responsibility to comply with all applicable registration and labor compliance requirements.
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

be considered Contractor caused delay and shall not be compensable by the City. Contractor
shall defend, indemnify and hold the City, its elected or appointed officers, and their respective
agents, officials, employees, volunteers and representatives 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.

PERFORMANCE BOND
KNOW ALL PERSONS BY THESE PRESENTS:
THAT WHEREAS, the City of Palm Desert (hereinafter referred to as “City”) has awarded
to L. Palmer Electric, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as the “Contractor”) an agreement for On Call
Electrical Services for Park and Landscape Facilities (hereinafter referred to as the “Project”).
WHEREAS, the work to be performed by the Contractor is more particularly set forth in
the Contract Documents for the Project dated April 22, 2021, (hereinafter referred to as “Contract
Documents”), the terms and conditions of which are expressly incorporated herein by reference;
and
WHEREAS, the Contractor is required by said Contract Documents to perform the terms
thereof and to furnish a bond for the faithful performance of said Contract Documents.
NOW, THEREFORE, we, _______________, the undersigned Contractor and
_____________________________________________ as Surety, a corporation organized and
duly authorized to transact business under the laws of the State of California, are held and firmly
bound unto the City in the sum of ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-FIVE AND 00/100, ($125,000)
annually, said sum being not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the total amount of the
Contract, for which amount well and truly to be made, we bind ourselves, our heirs, executors and
administrators, successors and assigns, jointly and severally, firmly by these presents.
THE CONDITION OF THIS OBLIGATION IS SUCH, that, if the Contractor, his or its heirs,
executors, administrators, successors or assigns, shall in all things stand to and abide by, and
well and truly keep and perform the covenants, conditions and agreements in the Contract
Documents and any alteration thereof made as therein provided, on its part, to be kept and
performed at the time and in the manner therein specified, and in all respects according to their
intent and meaning; and shall faithfully fulfill all obligations including the one-year guarantee of all
materials and workmanship; and shall indemnify and save harmless the City, its elected or
appointed officers, and their respective agents, officials, employees, volunteers and
representatives, as stipulated in said Contract Documents, then this obligation shall become null
and void; otherwise it shall be and remain in full force and effect.
As a condition precedent to the satisfactory completion of the Contract Documents, unless
otherwise provided for in the Contract Documents, the above obligation shall hold good for a
period of one (1) year after the acceptance of the work by City, during which time if Contractor
shall fail to make full, complete, and satisfactory repair and replacements and totally protect the
City from loss or damage resulting from or caused by defective materials or faulty workmanship,
Surety shall undertake and faithfully fulfill all such obligations. The obligations of Surety hereunder
shall continue so long as any obligation of Contractor remains. Nothing herein shall limit the City’s
rights or the Contractor or Surety’s obligations under the Contract, law or equity, including, but
not limited to, California Code of Civil Procedure section 337.15.
Whenever Contractor shall be, and is declared by the City to be, in default under the
Contract Documents, the Surety shall remedy the default pursuant to the Contract Documents, or
shall promptly, at the City’s option:
(1)Take over and complete the Project in accordance with all terms and conditions in
the Contract Documents; or
CONTRACT NO. C41370
Revised 11-2-20
BBK 72500.00001\32374943.1 Exhibit C - 3
(2)Obtain a bid or bids for completing the Project in accordance with all terms and
conditions in the Contract Documents and upon determination by Surety of the
lowest responsive and responsible bidder, arrange for a Contract between such
bidder, the Surety and the City, and make available as work progresses sufficient
funds to pay the cost of completion of the Project, less the balance of the contract
price, including other costs and damages for which Surety may be liable. The term
“balance of the contract price” as used in this paragraph shall mean the total
amount payable to Contractor by the City under the Contract and any modification
thereto, less any amount previously paid by the City to the Contractor and any
other set offs pursuant to the Contract Documents.
(3)Permit the City to complete the Project in any manner consistent with local,
California and federal law and make available as work progresses sufficient funds
to pay the cost of completion of the Project, less the balance of the contract price,
including other costs and damages for which Surety may be liable. The term
“balance of the contract price” as used in this paragraph shall mean the total
amount payable to Contractor by the City under the Contract and any modification
thereto, less any amount previously paid by the City to the Contractor and any
other set offs pursuant to the Contract Documents.
Surety expressly agrees that the City may reject any contractor or subcontractor which
may be proposed by Surety in fulfillment of its obligations in the event of default by the Contractor.
Surety shall not utilize Contractor in completing the Project nor shall Surety accept a bid
from Contractor for completion of the Project if the City, when declaring the Contractor in default,
notifies Surety of the City’s objection to Contractor’s further participation in the completion of the
Project.
The Surety, for value received, hereby stipulates and agrees that no change, extension of
time, alteration or addition to the terms of the Contract Documents or to the Project to be
performed thereunder shall in any way affect its obligations on this bond, and it does hereby waive
notice of any such change, extension of time, alteration or addition to the terms of the Contract
Documents or to the Project, including but not limited to the provisions of sections 2819 and 2845
of the California Civil Code.

It is my pleasure to offer my unreserved recommendation for Larry Palmer,
Owner of Palmer Electric.
I've known Larry personally and professionally for almost 20 years. In that time,
we attended the same high school and simultaneously worked in the
construction industry. In my experience, Larry has always conducted himself
with integrity and a strong sense of responsibility.
After almost 20 years, I can attest that Larry Palmer is ethically sound,
introspective, and confident in his decision making. Larry will always choose
what is right for his team and his customers. Additionally, he is known and
respected among his peers and competitors for being exceptionally skilled in his
trade.
As a result of Larry's unmatched work ethic, high level of professionalism, and
ability to solve any problem, Palmer Electric presents an undeniable record of
success.
Under Larry's leadership and vision, Palmer Electric is undoubtedly the best
electrical contractor in the Coachella Valley.
Please do not hesitate to contact me with any further questions or comments.
Respectfully,

To whom it may concern,
I've had the pleasure of working with Larry Palmer for many years, at both of our restaurant
locations. Pacifica Seafood Restaurant and at La Quinta Cliffhouse Restaurant. Larry has proven
to be someone I can count on and trust over the years. As we all know, when you need an
electrician, you usually need him ASAP. Larry has always done his best to get to the restaurant
quickly, diagnose the issue and repair the problem.
There is no job that I wouldn't trust Larry to do. I've used him for small jobs and big jobs as
well.
We feel like Larry has always been fair with his pricing and completes work according to his
word. I must also say that all of Larry's employees are knowledgeable, caring and friendly.
I would highly recommend using Palmer Electric !
