STAFF REPORT
CITY OF PALM DESERT
MEETING DATE: February 10, 2022
PREPARED BY: Robert Hargreaves, City Attorney
REQUEST: By Minute Motion, make findings that the State of California
continues in a Governor-declared state of emergency to combat
the COVID epidemic, that state and local health officials are
recommending social distancing, and that the City may continue to
employ remote teleconferencing.
_____________________________________________________________________
Recommendation
By Minute Motion, the City Council hereby finds the State of California continues in a
Governor-declared state of emergency to combat the COVID epidemic, that state and
local health officials are recommending social distancing, and consequently that the City
Council and its other Brown-Act bodies may continue to employ remote teleconferencing
under Government Code Section 54953(e).
Strategic Plan
The proposed action has no impact on the Strategic Plan.
Background Analysis
AB 361 (Government Code Section 54953(e)) provides that a local agency may employ
remote teleconferencing upon a finding by the governing board that certain circumstances
exist, among those that there is a Governor-declared emergency and state or local
officials are recommending social distancing. The City Council will need to make those
findings each month in which it continues to implement remote teleconferencing.
The alternative is to revert to the preexisting Brown Act standards for teleconferencing
which require that: (1) all teleconferencing locations be identified on the agenda; (2)
agendas be posted at all teleconferencing locations; (3) all teleconferencing locations be
open to the public; and (4) a majority of the council participate from locations within the
City.

22.
Executive Summary
After a continual review of the estimated revenues and expenditures budgeted for the FY
2021-22 during the first half of the fiscal year, staff believes adjustments are now
necessary to both General Fund revenue as well as General Fund appropriations (based
on expenditures).
While the original estimates considered the continued economic challenges of COVID-19
on the City’s operating budgets, indicating an expected shortfall of $6,998,441 actual
revenues are showing recovery faster than anticipated and the revised estimates show
that a shortfall is unlikely:
Discussion
In June of 2021, the City Council approved the City’s FY 2021-22 budget with an
estimated revenue shortfall of $6,998,441 in the City’s General Fund. The deficit was
primarily a result of the anticipated continued impacts of COVID-19 on the City’s General
Fund revenue.
In October of 2021, staff provided the Council with an update on the fiscal year end for
2020-21 indicating that revenues, while not at pre-pandemic levels, had shown recovery
in the last quarter of the fiscal year. Because the City also received extraordinary one-
time revenues, reduced operational spending, and delayed non-essential projects;
reserves were not needed to cover operating expenditures for the prior year.
During the same period in October 2021, the current fiscal year’s revenues were still
limited. Sales tax and TOT revenue collections were slightly ahead of expectations but
REVISED GENERAL FUND REVENUE AND EXPENDITURES
Revised General Fund Revenue 63,256,104
Revised General Fund Appropriations 2021-22 63,139,545$

the data (to the extent it was available) was for the low season and revised estimates
would have been premature.
Now, after six months of collections, staff has determined revenue estimate adjustments
are needed and when combined with the adjustments to appropriations described below,
staff is anticipating that reserves will not be needed to cover operating costs at fiscal year-
end 2022.
General Fund Revenues
The original estimate for FY 2021-22 General Fund revenues was $55,506,104 which
represented an increase of approximately $6.9 million (14%) over the FY 2020-21. The
estimate was based on recovery indicators considering the emerging variants of COVID-
19. What wasn’t completely known was how consumers and travelers would react to the
lifting of the year-long restrictions or the variants.
Staff has continued to evaluate the actual year to date revenues and determined that the
original estimates need to be increased in the amount of $7.75M (14%) over the original
projected revenues. The table below itemizes the request including an estimated increase
in sales tax of $3.15M and an estimated increase in Transient Occupancy Taxes
(including short-term rentals) of $3.7M. Other smaller per line increases total $900K.
General Fund Expenditures
The original estimate for FY 21-22 General Fund appropriations was $62,504,545 which
represents an approximate increase of $3.7 million (6%) compared to FY 2020-21. The
original projections included increases in public safety costs, personnel services and
benefits, and the cost of contracts due to another increase in the statewide minimum
wage.

Only minor adjustments are needed to appropriations in the aggregate amount of $635K
(1%) and primarily include adjustments for professional services, equipment and building
repair and maintenance. The table below itemizes the request and includes adjustments
for consultants for engineering, building official duties, plan check, inspections, real estate
services, and design/ engineering services for Lupine Plaza that were in addition to those
expected to be offset by salary savings from staff vacancies.
The remaining minor adjustments include equipment and work stations for additional
staffing as well as upgrades to areas for noise attenuation. There is also a reduction in a
line item appropriation for the City’s required contribution to CalPERS recognizing savings
for making the payment at the beginning of the fiscal year.
It is not yet known how many City contracts will be affected by the “Great Resignation”.
But we are already seeing consultants and contractors having difficulties hiring
employees. Competition is causing certain industries to be hit harder than others and will
cause the cost of those services to increase going forward.
Reserves Report
In 2018 the City Council adopted a General Fund Reserve Policy. The policy sets
categorical reserve standards based on the needs and risks to the City’s General Fund
from all types of emergencies, long-term capital projects, deferred maintenance at City
Facilities, equipment replacement and cash flow needs. The policy also takes into
account situations that would affect service delivery to the City’s residents during times
when revenues are either not yet received or not anticipated for a period of time, similar
to the pandemic’s immediate impact on City revenue.
The reserves committed each year fluctuate based on the parameters of the policy,
however, are currently 100% funded. The following iteration shows the change in
reserves from June of 2020 to June of 2021. The unassigned fund balance on June 30,
2020, was dedicated to the next year’s budget deficit, however, recovery of some City
revenues and one-time extraordinary revenues received, offset the need to use reserves
to balance the budget.

The two categories with the most significant increase are Facilities Maintenance Reserve
and Capital Improvement Project Reserve. Facilities Maintenance Reserve has increased
based on the reserve study completed on the City’s facilities and fluctuates with the
accomplishments or deferments of facilities maintenance projects. Capital Improvement
Project Reserve are for future projects that are not yet identified and is based on a
percentage of the total projects anticipated over the City’s five-year Capital Improvement
Program.
American Rescue Plan Act Allocations
As part of the American Rescue Plan (ARPA), the City has received half, or $4,991,526
of a total allocation of $9,983,052, to assist with the effects of the pandemic on City
revenues, pandemic related programs and costs for services. The second half is expected
in June of this fiscal year. For those cities receiving less than $10M, the final regulations
simplified the reporting requirements for the revenue loss calculation and substantiation
but did not change the allowed uses.
As noted at the time the budget was adopted, the City has identified the essential services
of police, fire, emergency medical services and economic development recovery
loans/programs as eligible expenses for ARPA funds. The effect of this will allow the City
to further focus on economic recovery and resume services and projects, delayed due to
pandemic related restrictions and/or lack of funding, sooner. As an example, the City
recently resumed visitor services again from the North Wing lobby. These services were
paused during the pandemic.

Other Funds
At this time there are no requests for mid-year adjustments to other governmental funds.
Other governmental fund include transportation, signalization, parks, drainage, fire facility
fees, housing mitigation, art in public places, childcare facilities, grant funds, recycling,
aquatic center, enterprise funds (including Desert Willow and Parkview Office Complex),
capital improvement funds, internal service funds, debt service, assessment districts,
landscape and lighting districts and housing authority funds. The total budget for other
funds remains unchanged at $99,858,295.
Fiscal Impact and Conclusion
In addition to the above requests, during the year, the City Manager is authorized to make,
intra- and inter-departmental adjustments as well as intra- and inter-fund adjustments, in
order to meet City needs, adjust staffing, and be responsive to the timing of projects,
provided such adjustments do not exceed the approved total budget including any
approved appropriations throughout the year. These adjustments have taken into
consideration the City Manager’s authorization for inter- and intra- departmental/fund
adjustments.
The result of the revised revenue estimates and added appropriations estimates indicate
that reserve funds will not be needed to fund the City’s operations this fiscal year. In fact,
the estimates suggest an increase to fund balance of approximately $116K.

STAFF REPORT
CITY OF PALM DESERT
PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
MEETING DATE: February 10, 2022
PREPARED BY: Ryan Gayler, Project Manager
REQUEST: Award Contract No. C42330 in the amount of $158,830 to United
Storm Water, Inc. of Industry, California for the 2021 Catch Basin
and Drain Cleaning Project (Project No. 501-21).
___________________________________________________________________________
Recommendation
By Minute Motion:
1. Award Contract No. C42330, in the amount of $158,830 to United Storm
Water, Inc. of Industry, California, for the 2021 Catch Basin and Drain
Cleaning Project;
2. Authorize the Director of Finance to set aside a 10% contingency in the
amount of $15,883;
3. Authorize the City Manager or designee to review and approve written
requests for the use of contingency for unanticipated conditions, per
Section 3.30.170 Section A of Ordinance No. 1335; and,
4. Authorize the City Manager to execute the Agreement.
Funds are available in the Storm Drain Maintenance Reserve Account, Account No. 4204314-
4332000, and Benefit Assessment District Account No. 2894374-4332000.
Strategic Plan
Catch basin and drain cleaning is a maintenance activity and does not contribute directly to the
objectives of the Strategic Plan.
Background Analysis
As a critical component of the City’s overall stormwater management program, drainage facilities
must be regularly inspected and cleaned. Catch basins can sometimes trap sediment and other
solids that might otherwise clog a storm drain and cause flooding. The regular removal of trapped
sediment and debris from these facilities reduces the incidence of foul odors, minimizes
contamination in receiving waters, and satisfies some of the requirements of the City’s NPDES
(National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System) Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit.
The project also includes the fabrication and installation of connector pipe screen (CPS) units.
The installation of CPS units is a requirement of the NPDES permit to reduce the amount of trash
that enters the storm drain system, and ultimately the Whitewater River Channel. The CPS units
allow water to enter the storm drain system while detaining trash or debris in the catch basin. The
installation of CPS units are prioritized in high density residential or commercial areas.

Award Contract No. C42330 to United Storm Water, Inc. (Project No. 501-21)
Page 2 of 2
Twenty-nine catch basins are within the boundary of a Benefit Assessment District (BAD) that
was created to fund the maintenance of storm drain facilities that feed into the Section 29
Retention Basin. The BAD will fund the cleaning of those catch basins.
The project was advertised for bid and on January 19, 2022, three bids were received
electronically through the City’s bid management portal with the following results:
Contractor Location Bid Amount
United Storm Water, Inc. Industry, CA $158,830.00
Downstream Services, Inc. Escondido, CA $289,583.00
EverLevel Holdings, LLC Chino Hills, CA $418,200.00
United Storm Water, Inc., submitted the lowest responsive bid in the amount of $158,830. Staff
reviewed the bid documents, and all the required forms were submitted. United Storm Water has
performed well for the City on previous catch basin and drain cleaning projects.
Fiscal Analysis
This project is being done as a part of the City’s storm drain maintenance program, which was
included in the City’s Capital Improvement Project (CIP) List for Fiscal Year 2021-22. There is no
fiscal impact beyond the contract amount.

CONTRACT FOR CONSTRUCTION
This Contract for Construction (“Contract”), No. C42330, is made and entered into this _10th_ day
of _February_, _2022_, by and between City of Palm Desert, a Charter City and municipal
corporation, organized under the laws of the State of California, with its principal place of business
at 73-510 Fred Waring Drive, Palm Desert, California 92260, sometimes hereinafter called the
“City” and ___United Storm Water, Inc.____, sometimes hereinafter called “Contractor.”
WITNESSETH: That the parties hereto have mutually covenanted and agreed, and by these
presents do covenant and agree with each other as follows:
ARTICLE 1. SCOPE OF WORK.
The Contractor shall perform all Work within the time stipulated in the Contract, and shall provide
all labor, materials, equipment, tools, utility services, and transportation to complete all of the
Work required in strict compliance with the Contract Documents as specified in Article 5, below,
for the following Project:

PROJECT NO. 501-21
The general items of work to be done consists of Mobilization, Traffic Control, Clean Catch Basin,
Clean Drain Pipe, Sand Removal, Clean Under-Sidewalk Drain, and Fabricate and Install CPS
units.
Contractor is an independent contractor and not an agent of the City. The Contractor and its
surety shall be liable to the City for any damages arising as a result of the Contractor’s failure to
comply with this obligation.
ARTICLE 2. TIME FOR COMPLETION.
Time is of the essence in the performance of the Work. The Work shall be commenced on the
date stated in the City’s Notice to Proceed. The Contractor shall complete all Work required by
the Contract Documents within 60 Calendar Days from the commencement date stated in the
Notice to Proceed. By its signature hereunder, Contractor agrees the time for completion set forth
above is adequate and reasonable to complete the Work.
ARTICLE 3. CONTRACT PRICE.
The City shall pay to the Contractor as full compensation for the performance of the Contract,
subject to any additions or deductions as provided in the Contract Documents, and including all
applicable taxes and costs, the sum of ___One Hundred Fifty-eight Thousand Eight Hundred
Thirty and no cents___ Dollars ($158,830.00). Payment shall be made as set forth in the General
Conditions. The City will pay to Contractor compensation based upon the prices set forth in the
Bid Schedule.
ARTICLE 4. LIQUIDATED DAMAGES.
Contractor acknowledges that the City will sustain actual damages for each and every Day
completion of the Project is delayed beyond the Contract Time. Because of the nature of the
Page 55
CONTRACT NO. C42330
-2-
Project, it would be impracticable or extremely difficult to determine the City’s actual damages.
Accordingly, in accordance with Government Code section 53069.85, it is agreed that the
Contractor will pay the City the sum of $1,000.00 for each and every Day of delay beyond the
time prescribed in the Contract Documents for finishing the Work, as Liquidated Damages and
not as a penalty or forfeiture. In the event this is not paid, the Contractor agrees the City may
deduct that amount from any money due or that may become due the Contractor under the
Contract. This Section does not exclude recovery of other damages specified in the Contract
Documents. Liquidated damages may be deducted from progress payments due Contractor,
Project retention or may be collected directly from Contractor, or from Contractor's surety. These
provisions for liquidated damages shall not prevent the City, in case of Contractor's default, from
terminating the 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 City, its elected or appointed officers, agents, officials, employees 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 City to inform Contractor of non-
compliance with any requirement imposes no additional obligations on the City 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 City requires and shall be entitled to coverage for the higher limits 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.

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 City 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.

Strategic Plan Objective(s):
The proposed projects will further the goals of the Strategic Plan by providing a safe,
efficient, reliable, and sustainable transportation system for residents and visitors of the
City. Furthermore, the proposed Neighborhood Traffic Management Plan fulfils the
following priorities identified in the City’s Strategic Plan:
Transportation Mini-Vision: By 2033, each resident and visitor will have safe, convenient,
and efficient transportation options.
Transportation Priority 1: Create walkable neighborhoods and areas within Palm Desert
that would include residential, retail, services and employment centers, parks and
recreation, and open space to reduce the use of low occupancy vehicles.
Background:
The project will establish a systematic and easily accessible approach of physical and
visual devices along a neighborhood street to handling neighborhood traffic calming
requests. The project will allow the City to address and utilize, where applicable, traffic
calming tools to improve the quality of life in neighborhoods by reducing adverse impact

caused by vehicular traffic such as; speeding, traffic volume reduction, cut-through traffic,
and pedestrian access.
According to the Federal Highway Administration, the primary purpose of traffic calming
is to support the livability and vitality of residential and commercial areas through
improvements in non-motorist safety, mobility, and comfort. These objectives are typically
achieved by reducing vehicle speeds or volumes on a single street or a street network.
An effective traffic calming program includes a toolbox of options that use self-enforcing
physical, or psycho-perception means to produce desired effects. The results can be
accomplished through a combination of infrastructure and non-infrastructure project and
programs, such as:
• Roadway safety education to children and adults
• Engaging residential and commercial neighborhoods
• Traffic and speed enforcement
• Context-sensitive design policies for new projects and retrofitting existing
roadways
• Awareness-building through permanent and portable speed display devices
• Data collection and performance measurement
City staff duly advertised a Request for Proposal (RFP) for said services on PlanetBids
on November 9, 2021, and on December 14, 2021, the City received three proposals. A
selection committee comprised of staff from the Public Works Department reviewed the
proposals according to the following criteria in the RFP:
• Qualifications of the firm
• Technical approach and work plan
• Completeness of the proposal
• Fee proposal
The selection committee ranked the proposals as follows:
PROPOSER LOCATION RANKING

Background Analysis
Approximately 30 acres of landscape and irrigation provide the foundation of the
aesthetics of the Civic Center campus. The equipment that powers this operation is a
multifaceted pump station (also referred to as the Civic Center Pump Station) and delivers
water from an on-site well to the lake that acts as a reservoir. A reservoir outlet then
conveys water into the pump station that ultimately delivers water to several miles of
irrigation lines. Installed in December of 2005, this critical infrastructure consists of a
Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), three 50 Horsepower (HP) pumps, three Variable
Frequency Drives (VFD’s), filters, and other ancillary components.
On August 28, 2021, the PLC and one of three VFD’s failed. Staff contacted the current
pump maintenance contractor, Automated Power Specialties, to assist with repairs.
However, the contractor was unable to perform the necessary work. Staff then contacted
Multi W Systems, Inc. (Multi W), a company that services various Coachella Valley
government agencies. Multi W was highly responsive and submitted a quote to perform
temporary repairs to keep the system operable while a comprehensive assessment could
be completed.
On September 10, 2021, the City Manager authorized emergency work for an amount of
$16,815.15. Multi W replaced the VFD and provided a temporary PLC. This work
minimized irrigation disruptions while protecting millions of dollars of landscape and pump
assets. Shortly after repairs were made, a second VFD failed causing staff to determine
that the remaining VFDs reached their life cycle. Furthermore, a thorough assessment
confirmed the need to upgrade the outdated system to adequately manage the City’s
resources. This project will upgrade the outdated pump station with a Supervisory Control
and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system to provide remote alerts to the Department and an
emergency shut off feature to protect the pumps. This project will minimize future
disruptions and manage water and electrical efficiencies.
On November 23, 2021, staff advertised a public Notice Inviting Bids on the City of Palm
Desert’s bidding portal, PlanetBids.com. A total of 19 entities downloaded Bid
Documents; two vendors attended the Mandatory Pre-Bid meeting; and only Multi W
submitted a Bid.
Based on Multi W’s workmanship and responsiveness, staff recommends awarding
Contract No. C42440 in the amount of $89,800 to Multi W Systems, Inc. of El Monte,
California, for the Civic Center Pump Station Improvements Project (Project No. 920-22)
and requests a 10% Contingency in the amount of $9,000 for unforeseen circumstances.

Fiscal Analysis
The Public Works approved Capital Improvement Project (CIP) List for Fiscal Year 2021-
2022 includes $250,000 for the Civic Center Photovoltaic Project. Following a thorough
review of the project, staff determined that $100,000 of said project could be used for the
Civic Center Pump Station Improvement Project without compromising the funding needs
of the Photovoltaic Project. Therefore, staff recommends transferring $98,800 from the
Civic Center Photovoltaic Project to the Civic Center Pump Improvement Project. This will
be a one-time expenditure, so there is no further fiscal impact.

CITY OF PALM DESERT
CONTRACT FOR CONSTRUCTION
This Contract for Construction (“Contract”), No. C42440, is made and entered into this 10th day of
February 2022, by and between City of Palm Desert, a Charter City and municipal corporation,
organized under the laws of the State of California, with its principal place of business at 73-510
Fred Waring Drive, Palm Desert, California 92260, sometimes hereinafter called the “City” and
Multi W Systems, Inc., sometimes hereinafter called “Contractor.”
WITNESSETH: That the parties hereto have mutually covenanted and agreed, and by these
presents do covenant and agree with each other as follows:
SCOPE OF WORK.
The Contractor shall perform all Work within the time stipulated in the Contract, and shall provide
all labor, materials, equipment, tools, utility services, and transportation to complete all of the
Work required in strict compliance with the Contract Documents as specified in Article 5, below,
for the following Project:
CIVIC CENTER PARK
PUMP STATION IMPROVEMENTS
PROJECT NO. 920-22
Contractor is an independent contractor and not an agent of the City. The Contractor and its
surety shall be liable to the City for any damages arising as a result of the Contractor’s failure to
comply with this obligation.
TIME FOR COMPLETION.
Time is of the essence in the performance of the Work. The Work shall be commenced on the
date stated in the City’s Notice to Proceed. The Contractor shall complete all Work required by
the Contract Documents within 45 Days from the commencement date stated in the Notice to
Proceed. By its signature hereunder, Contractor agrees the time for completion set forth above is
adequate and reasonable to complete the Work.
CONTRACT PRICE. RESERVE.
The City shall pay to the Contractor as full compensation for the performance of the Contract,
subject to any additions or deductions as provided in the Contract Documents, and including all
applicable taxes and costs, the sum of EIGHTY-NINE THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED Dollars
($89,900.00). Payment shall be made as set forth in the General Conditions. The City will pay to
Contractor compensation based upon the prices set forth in the Bid Schedule.
LIQUIDATED DAMAGES.
Contractor acknowledges that the City will sustain actual damages for each, and everyday
completion of the Project is delayed beyond the Contract Time. Because of the nature of the
Project, it would be impracticable or extremely difficult to determine the City’s actual damages.
Accordingly, in accordance with Government Code section 53069.85, it is agreed that the
Contractor will pay the City the sum of $500 for each and every Day of delay beyond the time
Page 136
Contract No. C42440
Civic Center Pump Station Improvements
72500.00001\32656428.1 -2-
prescribed in the Contract Documents for finishing the Work, as Liquidated Damages and not as
a penalty or forfeiture. In the event this is not paid, the Contractor agrees the City may deduct that
amount from any money due or that may become due the Contractor under the Contract. This
Section does not exclude recovery of other damages specified in the Contract Documents.
Liquidated damages may be deducted from progress payments due Contractor, Project retention
or may be collected directly from Contractor, or from Contractor's surety. These provisions for
liquidated damages shall not prevent the City, in case of Contractor's default, from terminating
the Contractor.

insureds under the Products and Completed Operations coverage.

WHEREAS, the work to be performed by the Contractor is more particularly set forth in the
Contract Documents for the Project dated February 10, 2022, (hereinafter referred to as “Contract

WHEREAS, said Principal is required to furnish a bond in connection with said contract; providing
that if said Principal or any of its Subcontractors shall fail to pay for any materials, provisions,
provender, equipment, or other supplies used in, upon, for or about the performance of the work
contracted to be done, or for any work or labor done thereon of any kind, or for amounts due

NOW THEREFORE, we, the Principal and __________________________ as Surety, are held

Dollars ($89,900) lawful money of the United States of America, for the payment of which sum

Code Section 18663, with respect to such work and labor the Surety or Sureties will pay for the
same, in an amount not exceeding the sum herein above specified, and also, in case suit is
brought upon this bond, all litigation expenses incurred by the City in such suit, including
reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, expert witness fees and investigation expenses.
This bond shall inure to the benefit of any of the persons named in Civil Code Section 9100 so as
to give a right of action to such persons or their assigns in any suit brought upon this bond.
It is further stipulated and agreed that the Surety on this bond shall not be exonerated or released

STAFF REPORT
CITY OF PALM DESERT
PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
MEETING DATE: February 10, 2022
PREPARED BY: Andy Ramirez, Deputy Director of Public Works
REQUEST: Award Contract No. C42170 to Commercial Waterproofing Systems,
Inc. of Santa Ana, California, for the Desert Willow Golf Resort
Maintenance Facility Roof Repairs in the amount of $77,000 (Project
No. 851-22)
______________________________________________________________________
Recommendation
By Minute Motion:
1) Award Contract No. C42170 to Commercial Waterproofing
Systems, Inc., of Santa Ana, California, for the Desert Willow Golf
Resort Maintenance Facility Roof Repairs in the amount of
$77,000;
2) Authorize the Director of Finance to set aside a 10% contingency
in the amount of $7,700 for unforeseen conditions; and,
3) Authorize the City Manager to execute said the agreement and
any change orders associated with this contract based on staff’s
recommendations.
Funds are available in the Desert Willow Golf Capital Account No. 4414195-4809200.
Strategic Plan
The Desert Willow Golf Resort Maintenance Facility sustains one of the City’s premier
recreational facilities and supports the City’s goal of maintaining a high quality of life and
recreation for its residents and visitors.
Background Analysis
Located at 38-995 Desert Willow Drive, the Desert Willow Golf Resort Maintenance
Facility supports over 60 staff members from fleet mechanics to various levels of
maintenance workers. The building also provides storage of heavy equipment, locker
rooms, and a full kitchen. Currently, due to wear from extreme weather conditions, there
are on-going roof leaks that require immediate repair.
The proposed work consists of installing a new restoration roof system to coat a surface
area of 9,206 square feet. The scope of this project entails lifting three HVAC units,
installing flashing, reconnecting the HVAC units, sealing all skylights and protrusions.
Other critical requirements include improving drainage spacing; tree removals; and

providing a warranty of work for a period of 10 years.
On Friday, December 17, 2021, staff issued a Notice Inviting Bids through the City’s online
bid management provider, PlanetBids. On Monday, January 10, 2022, two (2) bids were
submitted electronically as follows:
CONTRACTOR LOCATION AMOUNT
Commercial Waterproofing Systems, Inc. Santa Ana, CA $77,000
Universal Coatings, Inc. Fresno, CA $77,000
As demonstrated in the table above, there are two bids that were received in the same
amount. Staff conferred with the City Attorney’s office to review this rare occurrence. The
City Attorney cited Chapter 3.30.100(H) of the City’s Municipal Code that states, “If two
or more bids received are the same amount, the City Council may decide which bid to
accept and award.” After speaking with the General Manager of the Desert Willow Golf
Resort and experienced City staff, it was determined that working with a contractor based
in close proximity to the City was an important factor, especially during supply chain
concerns affecting the industry. As shown in the table above, Commercial Waterproofing
Systems, Inc. of Santa Ana, California is located within close driving distance, whereas
Universal Coatings, Inc., is based over 300 miles away in Fresno, California. Commercial
Waterproofing Systems, Inc., has been in business for over 22 years and uniquely
proposes to use subcontractors within the valley and the county of Riverside for ancillary
work.
Furthermore, staff received excellent recommendations regarding this contractor from the
Director of Facilities Management and Construction of the Redondo Beach Unified School
District and the Director of Facilities of Ability First, a multi-campus non-profit serving
disabled adults and children. Each of these former clients highlighted how Commercial
Waterproofing Systems, Inc., always kept within budget, demonstrated superb
craftsmanship, provided dynamic communication and outstanding professionalism.
Therefore, staff recommends that the City Council award the Desert Willow Golf Resort
Maintenance Facility Roof project to Commercial Waterproofing Systems, Inc.
Fiscal Analysis
The Capital Improvement Project (CIP) List for Fiscal Year 2021-2022 included $70,000
for the Desert Willow Golf Resort Maintenance Facility Roof Repairs Project. Including
contingency, the total project cost of this project is $84,700, which is $14,700 over the
budget amount. At this time, staff is not requesting an appropriation of funds to cover the
excess amount since it is expected to be offset by potential savings from other Desert
Willow Capital Projects accounts.

CONTRACT FOR CONSTRUCTION
This Contract for Construction (“Contract”), No. C42170, is made and entered into this 10th day of
February 2022, by and between City of Palm Desert, a Charter City and municipal corporation,
organized under the laws of the State of California, with its principal place of business at 73-510
Fred Waring Drive, Palm Desert, California 92260, sometimes hereinafter called the “City” and
Commercial Waterproofing Systems, Inc., sometimes hereinafter called “Contractor.”
WITNESSETH: That the parties hereto have mutually covenanted and agreed, and by these
presents do covenant and agree with each other as follows:
SCOPE OF WORK.
The Contractor shall perform all Work within the time stipulated in the Contract, and shall provide
all labor, materials, equipment, tools, utility services, and transportation to complete all of the
Work required in strict compliance with the Contract Documents as specified in Article 5, below,
for the following Project:
DESERT WILLOW GOLF RESORT
MAINTENANCE FACILITY ROOF REPAIRS
PROJECT NO. 851-22
Contractor is an independent contractor and not an agent of the City. The Contractor and its
surety shall be liable to the City for any damages arising as a result of the Contractor’s failure to
comply with this obligation.
TIME FOR COMPLETION.
Time is of the essence in the performance of the Work. The Work shall be commenced on the
date stated in the City’s Notice to Proceed. The Contractor shall complete all Work required by
the Contract Documents within 45 Days from the commencement date stated in the Notice to
Proceed. By its signature hereunder, Contractor agrees the time for completion set forth above is
adequate and reasonable to complete the Work.
CONTRACT PRICE. RESERVE.
The City shall pay to the Contractor as full compensation for the performance of the Contract,
subject to any additions or deductions as provided in the Contract Documents, and including all
applicable taxes and costs, the sum of Seventy-Seven Thousand Dollars ($77,000.00). Payment
shall be made as set forth in the General Conditions. The City will pay to Contractor compensation
based upon the prices set forth in the Bid Schedule.
LIQUIDATED DAMAGES.
Contractor acknowledges that the City will sustain actual damages for each, and everyday
completion of the Project is delayed beyond the Contract Time. Because of the nature of the
Project, it would be impracticable or extremely difficult to determine the City’s actual damages.
Accordingly, in accordance with Government Code section 53069.85, it is agreed that the
Contractor will pay the City the sum of $500 for each and every Day of delay beyond the time
prescribed in the Contract Documents for finishing the Work, as Liquidated Damages and not as
Page 162
Contract No. C42170
DW Golf Resort Maintenance Facility Roof Repair
72500.00001\32656428.1 -2-
a penalty or forfeiture. In the event this is not paid, the Contractor agrees the City may deduct that
amount from any money due or that may become due the Contractor under the Contract. This
Section does not exclude recovery of other damages specified in the Contract Documents.
Liquidated damages may be deducted from progress payments due Contractor, Project retention
or may be collected directly from Contractor, or from Contractor's surety. These provisions for
liquidated damages shall not prevent the City, in case of Contractor's default, from terminating
the Contractor.

contractor), with sub-limits sufficient to insure the full replacement value of any key equipment item; (6) Ocean marine cargo coverage insuring any Project materials or supplies, if applicable; (7) coverage with sub-limits sufficient to insure the full replacement value of any property or equipment stored either on or off the Site or any staging area. Such insurance shall be on a form acceptable to City to ensure adequacy of terms and sub-limits and shall be

Other Provisions or Requirements
Proof of Insurance. Contractor shall provide certificates of insurance to City as evidence of the
insurance coverage required herein, along with a waiver of subrogation endorsement for
workers’ compensation. Insurance certificates and endorsements must be approved by
City’s Risk Manager prior to commencement of performance. Current certification of
insurance shall be kept on file with City at all times during the term of this contract. City
reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies, at
any time.
Duration of Coverage. Contractor shall procure and maintain for the duration of the contract
insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damages to property, which may arise
from or in connection with the performance of the Work hereunder by Contractor, its agents,
representatives, employees or subcontractors. Contractor must maintain general liability
and umbrella or excess liability insurance for as long as there is a statutory exposure to
completed operations claims. The City and its officers, officials, employees, and agents
shall continue as additional insureds under such policies.
Primary/Non-Contributing. Coverage provided by Contractor shall be primary and any insurance
or self-insurance procured or maintained by City shall not be required to contribute with it.
The limits of insurance required herein may be satisfied by a combination of primary and
umbrella or excess insurance. Any umbrella or excess insurance shall contain or be
endorsed to contain a provision that such coverage shall also apply on a primary and non-
contributory basis for the benefit of City before the City’s own insurance or self-insurance
shall be called upon to protect it as a named insured.
Products/Completed Operations Coverage. Products/completed operations coverage shall
extend a minimum of three (3) years after project completion. Coverage shall be included
on behalf of the insured for covered claims arising out of the actions of independent
contractors. If the insured is using subcontractors, the Policy must include work performed
“by or on behalf” of the insured. Policy shall contain no language that would invalidate or
remove the insurer’s duty to defend or indemnify for claims or suits expressly excluded from
coverage. Policy shall specifically provide for a duty to defend on the part of the insurer.
The City, its officials, officers, agents, and employees, shall be included as additional
insureds under the Products and Completed Operations coverage.
City’s Rights of Enforcement. In the event any policy of insurance required under this Contract
does not comply with these requirements, or is canceled and not replaced, City has the
right, but not the duty, to obtain the insurance it deems necessary, and any premium paid
by City will be promptly reimbursed by Contractor, or City will withhold amounts sufficient to
pay premium from Contractor payments. In the alternative, City may cancel this Contract.
Commented [A1]: Stephen/Brianne is this necessary?
Commented [A3]: I always send an email to Stephen
explaining the scope of the project and asking for his
recommendation. It is nice to have for the project file.
Commented [A2R1]: Bertha, can you please ask Brianne
on this one?
Commented [A4R3]: Bertha, Can you please ask Stephen
about this section?

by the City’s Risk Manager.
Waiver of Subrogation. All insurance coverage maintained or procured pursuant to this agreement
shall be endorsed to waive subrogation against the City, its 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 City,
its elected or appointed officers, agents, officials, employees and volunteers and shall
require similar written express waivers and insurance clauses from each of its
subcontractors.
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.
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 City requires and shall be entitled to coverage for the higher limits 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.
Notice of Cancellation. Contractor agrees to oblige its insurance agent or broker and insurers to
provide to City 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.
Additional Insured Status. General liability, automobile liability, and if applicable, pollution liability
policies shall provide or be endorsed to provide that the City and its officers, officials,
employees, agents, 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.
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.
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
Page 168
Contract No. C42170
DW Golf Resort Maintenance Facility Roof Repair
72500.00001\32656428.1 -8-
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.
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 City for
review.
City’s Right to Revise Requirements. The City or its 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 City and Contractor may

the provisions of Section 3700 of the California Labor Code which require every employer to be insured against liability for Workers’ Compensation or to
undertake self-insurance in accordance with the provisions of that Code, and agrees to comply with such provisions before commencing the performance
of the Services. Vendor represents that it is an equal opportunity employer and it shall not discriminate against any subcontractor, employee or applicant
for employment in violation of state or federal law. Vendor is aware of the requirements of California Labor Code Sections 1720 et seq. and 1770 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 work is 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 $15,000 or more for maintenance or $25,000 or more for construction, alteration, demolition, installation, or repair,
Vendor agrees to fully comply with such Prevailing Wage Laws, including, along with subcontractors, being registered with the Department of Industrial
Relations (Labor Code §§ 1725.1; 1771.1). It shall be mandatory upon the Vendor and all subcontractors to comply with all California Labor Code
provisions, which include but are not limited to prevailing wages (Labor Code §§ 1771; 1774; 1775), employment of apprentices (Labor Code § 1777.5),
certified payroll records (Labor Code §§ 1771.4; 1776), hours of labor (Labor Code §§ 1813; 1815) and debarment of contractors and subcontractors
(Labor Code § 1777.1). This Agreement may be subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement.
2. Standard of Care. The Vendor shall perform the Services in accordance with generally accepted professional practices and principles and in a manner
consistent with the level of care and skill ordinarily exercised by members of the profession practicing under similar conditions.
3. Insurance. If required by Section 6 of this Agreement, the Vendor shall take out and maintain during this Agreement: A. Commercial General Liability
Insurance for bodily injury, personal injury and property damage, at least as broad as Insurance Services Office Commercial General Liability coverage
(Occurrence Form CG 0001). The policy must include contractual liability that has not been amended. Any endorsement restricting standard ISO “insured
contract” language will not be accepted; B. Automobile Liability Insurance for bodily injury and property damage including coverage for owned, non-owned,
rented, and hired vehicles, at least as broad as Insurance Services Office Form Number CA 0001 (ed. 10/13) covering automobile liability, Code 1 (any
auto); C. Workers’ Compensation Insurance (Statutory Limits) and Employer’s Liability Insurance; and if applicable, as determined by the City’s Risk
Manager, D. Professional Liability (Errors and Omissions) that covers the Services to be performed in connection with this Agreement. Any policy inception
date, continuity date, or retroactive date must be before the effective date of this agreement and Vendor agrees to maintain continuous coverage through
a period no less than three years after completion of the services required by this agreement. All insurance coverage maintained or procured pursuant to
this agreement shall be endorsed to waive subrogation against the City of Palm Desert, and their elected or appointed officers, agents, officials, employees,
volunteers, and representatives or shall specifically allow Vendor or others providing insurance evidence in compliance with these specifications to waive
their right of recovery prior to a loss. Vendor hereby waives its own right of recovery against the City of Palm Desert or their elected or appointed officers,
agents, officials, employees, volunteers and representatives and shall require similar written express waivers and insurance clauses from each of its
subcontractors. Workers compensation coverage shall have an endorsement in favor of the City of Palm Desert, and their respective officers, agents,
employees, volunteers and representatives. Insurance carriers shall be licensed and authorized to do business in California. Such insurance carrier shall
have not less than an "A-:VII" rating according to the latest Best Key Rating unless otherwise approved by City’s Risk Manager. Vendor shall add the City,
and their respective officers, officials, employees, agents, volunteers and representatives as additional insureds on Vendor’s Commercial General Liability,
Automobile Liability, and if applicable, Pollution Liability and Cyber Liability policies. Coverage provided by Vendor shall be primary and any insurance or
self-insurance procured or maintained by the City shall not be required to contribute with it. The City or its Risk Manager reserves the right at any time
during the term of the contract to change the amounts and types of insurance (i.e. pollution, cyber, and fidelity coverages) required by giving the Vendor
advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to the Vendor, the City and Vendor may renegotiate Vendor’s
compensation. If the City reduces the insurance requirements, the change shall go into effect immediately and require no advanced written notice.
4. Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Vendor shall defend (with counsel of City’s choosing), indemnify and hold the City, and their
respective officials, officers, employees, volunteers, agents and representatives free and harmless from any and all claims, demands, causes of action,
costs, expenses, liability, loss, damage or injury of any kind, in law or equity, to property or persons, including wrongful death (collectively, “Claims”), in
any manner arising out of, pertaining to, or incident to any acts, errors or omissions, or willful misconduct of Vendor, its officials, officers, employees,
subcontractors, consultants or agents in connection with the performance of the Vendor’s Services, the project, or this Agreement, including without
limitation the payment of all expert witness fees, attorney’s fees and other related costs and expenses except such loss or damage caused by the sole
negligence or willful misconduct of the City. Vendor’s obligation to indemnify shall survive expiration or termination of this Agreement and shall not be
restricted to insurance proceeds, if any, received by Consultant or the City, or their respective officials, officers, employees, agents, volunteers or
representatives. If Vendor’s obligation to defend, indemnify, and/or hold harmless arises out of Vendor’s performance as a “design professional” (as that
term is defined under Civil Code § 2782.8), then, and only to the extent required by Civil Code § 2782.8, which is fully incorporated herein, Vendor’s
indemnification obligation shall be limited to claims that arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of the Vendor,
and, upon Vendor obtaining a final adjudication by a court of competent jurisdiction, Vendor’s liability for such claim, including the cost to defend, shall not
exceed the Vendor’s proportionate percentage of fault.
5. Laws; Venue. This Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California. If any action is brought to interpret or enforce
any term of this Agreement, the action shall be brought in a state or federal court situated in the County of Riverside, State of California.
6. Termination. The City may terminate the whole or any part of this Agreement for any or no reason by giving three (3) calendar days written notice to
Vendor. In such event, the City shall be immediately given title and possession to all original field notes, drawings and specifications, written reports and
other documents produced or developed for the work. The City shall pay Vendor the reasonable value as determined by the City of any portion of the
Services completed prior to termination. The City shall not be liable for any costs other than the charges or portions thereof which are specified herein.
Vendor shall not be entitled to payment for unperformed Services and shall not be entitled to damages or compensation for termination of the Services.
Vendor may terminate its obligation to provide further work under this Agreement upon thirty (30) calendar day’s written notice to the City only in the event
of the City’s failure to perform in accordance with the terms of this Agreement through no fault of Vendor.
7. Changes. By written notice, the City may from time to time, make changes to the Services furnished to the City by Vendor. If such change causes an
increase or decrease in the Agreement Price or in the time required for performance, Vendor or the City shall promptly notify the other party thereof and
assert its claim for adjustment within fifteen (15) days after the change is ordered, and an equitable adjustment shall be made. However, nothing in this
clause shall excuse the Vendor from proceeding immediately with the Agreement as changed.
8. Miscellaneous Terms. Vendor shall not assign, sublet, or transfer this Agreement or any rights under or interest in this Agreement without the written
consent of the City. This Agreement may not be modified or altered except in writing signed by the Parties. There are no intended third party beneficiaries
of any right or obligation of the Parties. This is an integrated Agreement representing the entire understanding of the Parties as to those matters contained
herein, and supersedes and cancels any prior oral or written understanding or representations with respect to matters covered hereunder. Since the Parties
or their agents have participated fully in the preparation of this Agreement, the language of this Agreement shall be construed simply, according to its fair
meaning, and not strictly for or against any Party. The captions of the various paragraphs are for convenience and ease of reference only, and do not

define, limit, augment, or describe the scope, content or intent of this Agreement. The unenforceability, invalidity or illegality of any provision(s) of this
Agreement shall not render the other provisions unenforceable, invalid or illegal. Notice may be given or delivered by depositing the same in any United
States Post Office, certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the Parties to the addresses set forth in this Agreement. Vendor
is retained as an independent contractor and is not an employee of the City. No employee or agent of Vendor shall become an employee of the City.

MEETING DATE: February 10, 2022
PREPARED BY: Randy Chavez, Landscape Supervisor
Andy Ramirez, Deputy Director of Public Works
REQUEST: Award Contract No. C_________ to Conserve Landcare of Thousand
Palms, California for the Parks and Landscape Enhancement Project
for an annual amount of $250,000 for a term of 53 months (Project
No. 934-22)
______________________________________________________________________
Recommendation
By Minute Motion:
1) Award Contract No. C_______ for the Parks and Landscape
Enhancement Project to Conserve Landcare of Thousand Palms,
California, for an annual amount of $250,000;
2) Authorize the Mayor to execute the agreement; and,
3) Authorize the City Manager to approve change orders associated
with this contract and up to three (3) one-year contract extensions
based on staff’s recommendations.
Following approval of the above actions, funds will be available in Account No. 1104610-
4332001, R/M Civic Center Park Landscaping, 1104611-4332001, R/M Parks
Landscaping, and 1104614-4337001, R/M Medians, 4414195-4332000, R/M Desert
Willow, and various Landscape and Lighting Districts (LLD) accounts.
Strategic Plan
The Parks and Landscape Enhancement Project is in alignment with the Parks &
Recreation strategic plan to maintain existing parks to the highest level of service.
Background Analysis
The approved Operational Budget for Fiscal Year 2021-2022 included $100,000 for the
annual Median Rehabilitation Project to improve landscape at various focal points of the
City as many plant materials have reached the end of their life cycle. This project goal
focuses at improving water conservation by incorporating inorganics and installing
Page 229
Contract No. C__________

Award C_________ to Conserve Landcare (Project No. 934-22)
Page 2 of 4
aesthetically pleasing drought tolerant landscape. Staff has prioritized this fiscal year to
commence its first median rehabilitation on Cook Street between Gerald Ford Drive to
Country Club Drive. This on-going annual program will address other distressed medians
such as Gerald Ford Drive, Frank Sinatra Drive, Country Club Drive, Monterey Avenue,
and Fred Waring Drive.
To improve economies of scale for the Median Rehabilitation Project and other high
profile landscaped areas, an analysis identified the opportunity to improve contract
efficiencies by consolidating the annual Median Rehabilitation Project of $100,000 with
other budgeted landscape improvements totaling of $150,000. Examples include
refreshing decomposed granite on El Paseo, turf installations at Hovley Soccer Park and
Washington Charter Park, various assessment districts, and frontage areas along Desert
Willow Golf Resort. Combining these as the Parks and Landscape Enhancement Project
will eliminate lengthy time inefficiencies of issuing multiple and similar-in-scope contracts
for individual rehabilitations at medians, parks, City properties, and frontages along
assessment districts and the Desert Willow Golf Resort. This recommendation will save
several months of administrative processes and address project needs in a timelier
manner as the contractor will be required to provide a crew within seven (7) days to
perform work upon notice by the Public Works Department.
On December 08, 2021, staff issued a request for proposals (RFP) through the local
newspaper and the City’s online bid management provider, Planet Bids. A total of 24
entities downloaded Bid Documents and four vendors attended the Mandatory Pre-Bid
meeting. On January 5, 2022, two (2) proposals were received. A selection committee
from the Public Works Department reviewed the two proposals and ranked each one
based on:
• Clarity and Conformance of the proposal
• Content of the proposal, including the work plan
• Proposer’s experience and performance
• Comments by references
• Fee Proposal
As part of the RFP, vendors were asked to provide maintenance and construction price
sheets for labor, plant material, and irrigation work. Items such as landscape design work,
small scale installation projects, work to repair park furnishings, and specialized
equipment were also requested to deliver Design-Build landscape projects in a short
amount of time.
The selection committee ranked the proposals numerically as follows:

CONTRACTOR LOCATION RANKING
Conserve Landcare Thousand Palms, CA 1
Mariposa Landscapes, Inc. Irwindale, CA 2
After tabulating the scoresheets, Conserve Landcare had the highest score with a 92
percent. Therefore, staff proceeded with verification of Conserve’s references, and spoke
with the Director of Public Works for the City of Rancho Mirage and the Executive
Community Manager for Mission Hills Villas II; both of whom gave very positive
recommendations. Phrases such as “one-stop-shop” and “design-build” were conveyed
to City staff and underscored positive traits by Conserve’s references. The type of work
and budget from Conserve’s references are similar in scope and budget to the City’s
Parks and Landscape Enhancement Project.
Staff determined that Conserve Landcare provided the highest quality of service required
to meet or exceed City standards. In addition, Conserve Landcare submitted all required
documents and Price Sheets. Mariposa Landscapes did not submit the required Price
Sheets and therefore, their Proposal was incomplete. Based on the review, staff
recommends awarding the Parks and Landscape Enhancement Project to Conserve
Landcare for a term of 53 months (February 1, 2022, to June 30, 2026), and an option of
three, one-year extensions.
Fiscal Analysis
The approved Public Works Operations Budget for Fiscal Year 2021-2022 includes an
annual amount of $100,000 for the Median Rehabilitation Project and a cumulative
amount of $150,000 for various landscape improvement projects. This contract
consolidates all projects under the Parks and Landscape Enhancement Project for a total
annual amount of $250,000. Therefore, with this action, there will be no additional impact
to the general fund.

subrogation endorsement for workers’ compensation. Insurance certificates and endorsements
must be approved by City’s Risk Manager prior to commencement of performance. Current
certification of insurance shall be kept on file with City at all times during the term of this contract.
City reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies, at
any time.
(B) Duration of Coverage. Contractor shall procure and
Page 237
Contract No. __________________
Revised 11-2-20
BBK 72500.00001\32374943.1 - 6 -
maintain for the duration of the contract insurance against claims for injuries to persons or
damages to property, which may arise from or in connection with the performance of the work
hereunder by Contractor, his/her agents, representatives, employees or subconsultants.
(C) Primary/Non-Contributing. Coverage provided by
Contractor shall be primary and any insurance or self-insurance procured or maintained by City
shall not be required to contribute with it. The limits of insurance required herein may be satisfied
by a combination of primary and umbrella or excess insurance. Any umbrella or excess insurance
shall contain or be endorsed to contain a provision that such coverage shall also apply on a
primary and non-contributory basis for the benefit of City before the City’s own insurance or self-
insurance shall be called upon to protect it as a named insured.
(D) City’s Rights of Enforcement. In the event any policy of
insurance required under this Agreement does not comply with these specifications, or is
canceled and not replaced, City has the right, but not the duty, to obtain the insurance it deems
necessary and any premium paid by City will be promptly reimbursed by Contractor, or City will
withhold amounts sufficient to pay premium from Contractor payments. In the alternative, City
may cancel this Agreement.
(E) Acceptable Insurers. All insurance policies shall be issued
by an insurance company currently authorized by the Insurance Commissioner to transact
business of insurance or is on the List of Approved Surplus Line Insurers in the State of California,
with an assigned policyholders’ Rating of A- (or higher) and Financial Size Category Class VII (or
larger) in accordance with the latest edition of Best’s Key Rating Guide, unless otherwise
approved by the City’s Risk Manager.
(F) Waiver of Subrogation. All insurance coverage maintained
or procured pursuant to this agreement shall be endorsed to waive subrogation against the City,
its elected or appointed officers, and their respective agents, officials, employees, volunteers and
representatives, 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 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.
(H) 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 City requires and shall be entitled to coverage for the higher limits
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.
(I) Notice of Cancellation. Contractor agrees to oblige its
Page 238
Contract No. __________________
Revised 11-2-20
BBK 72500.00001\32374943.1 - 7 -
insurance agent or broker and insurers to provide City 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.
(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
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 City for review.
(N) City’s Right to Revise Specifications. The City or its 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 cost to the Contractor, the City and Contractor may
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.
(P) Timely Notice of Claims. Contractor shall give City prompt
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.
(Q) Additional Insurance. Contractor shall also procure and
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.
3.2.12 Safety. Contractor shall execute and maintain its work so as to avoid injury
or damage to any person or property. In carrying out its Services, the Contractor shall at all times
Page 239

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
applicable, shall include, but shall not be limited to: (A) adequate life protection and lifesaving
equipment and procedures; (B) instructions in accident prevention for all employees and
subcontractors, such as safe walkways, scaffolds, fall protection ladders, bridges, gang planks,
confined space procedures, trenching and shoring, equipment and other safety devices,

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

City.

from the date of final payment under this Agreement.
3.2.15 Work Sites.

Services are to be performed and shall become acquainted with all conditions affecting the
Services prior to commencing the Services. Contractor shall make such examinations as it deems

improvements. No claim for allowances–time or money–will be allowed as to such matters after
commencement of the Services.
3.2.15.2 Field Measurements. Contractor shall make field
measurements, verify field conditions and shall carefully compare such field measurements and

stop work at the affected area and shall report the condition to the City in writing. The City shall
contract for any services required to directly remove and/or abate PCBs, hazardous substances,
other toxic wastes and hazardous materials, and shall not require the Contractor to subcontract
for such services. The Services in the affected area shall not thereafter be resumed except by
written agreement of the City and Contractor.
3.2.16 Loss and Damage. Contractor shall be responsible for all loss and
damage which may arise out of the nature of the Services agreed to herein, or from the action of
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
Page 241
Contract No. __________________
Revised 11-2-20
BBK 72500.00001\32374943.1 - 10 -
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.
3.3 Fees and Payments.
3.3.1 Compensation. Contractor shall receive compensation, including
authorized reimbursements, for all Services rendered under this Agreement at the rates set forth
in Exhibit “C” attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. The total compensation shall

without written approval of the City Council or City Manager, as applicable.
3.3.2 Payment of Compensation. Contractor shall submit to City monthly
invoices which provides a detailed description of the Services and hours rendered by Contractor.
City shall, within thirty (30) days of receiving such statement, review the statement and pay all
non-disputed and approved charges. Contractor shall submit its final invoice to City within thirty
(30) days from the last date of provided Services or termination of this Agreement and failure by
the Contractor to submit a timely invoice shall constitute a waiver of its right to final payment.
Payment shall not constitute acceptance of any Services completed by Contractor. The making
of final payment shall not constitute a waiver of any claims by the City for any reason whatsoever.
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
request that Contractor perform Extra Work. As used herein, “Extra Work” means any work which
is determined by City to be necessary for the proper completion of the Project, but which the
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.
3.3.6 Prevailing Wages. Contractor is aware of the requirements of California
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 “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
$15,000 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 Agreement. 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 the Contractor’s principal
place of business and at the Project site. 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 any failure or alleged
failure to comply with the Prevailing Wage Laws. It shall be mandatory upon the Contractor and
all subcontractors to comply with all California Labor Code provisions, which include but are not
limited to prevailing wages (Labor Code Sections 1771, 1774 and 1775), employment of
apprentices (Labor Code Section 1777.5), 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
or more, then pursuant to Labor Code Sections 1725.5 and 1771.1, the Contractor and all
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.
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 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.

WHEREAS, the work to be performed by the Contractor is more particularly set forth in
the Contract Documents for the Project dated February 10, 2022, (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

NOW, THEREFORE, we, Conserve Landcare, 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 annual sum of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand DOLLARS, ($250,000),

which amount well and truly to be made, we bind ourselves, our heirs, executors and

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

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,

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

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

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,

to pay the cost of completion of the Project, less the balance of the contract price,

time, alteration or addition to the terms of the Contract Documents or to the Project to be

change order for the contractor, Change Order No. 13, is in the net amount of $22,421.79.
Change Order No. 13 brings the total of all change orders to $507,156.74, which is over the
$500,000 threshold City Council imposed on the project, and therefore it requires City Council
approval. This change order has no impact on the contract duration, and covers the following
items of work:
1.City directed the Contractor to repair an approximately 10’x75’ sink hole at Magnesia
Falls that was outside the project limits. The Contractor performed the work at force
account.
2.This Construction Change Order includes the balance of the final Contract bid item
quantities for the project.
Below is a summary of change orders to date, proposed and pending change orders, and
current balance of the project contingency:

Contract No. C38820A Contract Amendment No. 1:
On March 12, 2020, the City Council awarded Contract No. C38820A for construction
management services for the San Pablo Avenue Phase 2 Street Improvements to Southstar
Engineering & Consulting, Inc. of Riverside, California in the amount of $1,072,766.76. A final
contract amendment to Contract No. C38820A in an amount of $25,000.00 is needed for final
documentation and archiving. With approval of the requested contract amendment, the final
cost of construction management will be $1,097,766.76, which is equivalent to 15.3% of the
final construction cost. Industry standards typically range construction management costs at
10% to 15%. Given the complex nature of the project, plus the ATP grant funding the
construction manager was required to document, staff finds the final construction
management costs acceptable.

CITY OF PALM DESERT
DEPARTMENT OF BUILDING AND SAFETY
MEETING DATE: February 10, 2022
PREPARED BY: Jason Finley, Chief Building Official
REQUEST: Approve Mills Act Contract for property located at 72-765 Mesquite
Court, Unit C, Kings Point at Palm Desert (Shadow Cove), APN 628-
270-033.
___________________________________________________________________________
Recommendation
By Minute Motion:
1.Approve the following Mills Act contract for 72-765 Mesquite Court, Unit C,
Kings Point at Palm Desert (Shadow Cove), APN 628-270-033 in accordance
with section 29.70.030 of the Palm Desert Municipal Code (PDMC).
2. Authorize City Manager and City Attorney to approve, sign and execute the
contracts.
Strategic Plan
The California Mills Act Program (a voluntary program) provides property owners of
qualified historic landmarks and districts the opportunity and tax incentives to preserve
their properties in the original aesthetic conditions. In doing so, this program promotes
the goals of the Arts and Culture element of the City’s Envision Palm Desert Strategic
Plan by increasing the public recognition and appreciation of our City’s architectural and
artistic treasures. Cultural tourism events have grown in popularity throughout the
Coachella Valley to celebrate these types of architecture. Tourists drawn to Palm Desert
to view our growing list of cultural landmarks provide economic benefits to the City of
Palm Desert
Executive Summary
Kings Point at Palm Desert was designed in the mid-century by Hugh Michael Kaptur and
built by Kings Point Developers between 1974 to 1976. It is the largest example of
Kaptur’s work within the City whose accolades include homes for William Holden and
Steve McQueen’s. Kaptur’s vision was to maintain sightlines to take advantage of the
beautiful mountain views.
Kings Point was designated as a Historic District property by City Council Resolution No.
2019-89 on December 12, 2019. A “Historic District” designation allows properties within
Page 299
February 10, 2022 - Staff Report
Mills Act Contract
that area to voluntarily apply for the California Mills Act designation when a property:
1)Owner-occupied or income-producing property for the purpose of protecting and
preserving properties.
2)Is of historical significance and considered historic if it is at least 50 years old.
3)Considered a good example of a particular architectural style or if it is associated
with a person or event of local, statewide, or national historic importance.
The Cultural Resources Preservation Committee, along with staff, reviewed and
confirmed this property meets the necessary criteria and recommended moving said
application to City Council for approval.
Once a property owner enters a contract, the County Assessor will determine the value
of the property as of January 1 of each year based upon an income approach to valuation
(“restricted value”) rather than the property’s market value. The income projected for an
owner-occupied property is based on comparable rents for similar properties in the area
or, if sufficient rental information is unavailable, the income that it could reasonably be
expected to produce under prudent management. In the case of an income producing
property, the income amount is based on rent received and on typical rents received for
similar properties having similar uses. The restricted value can be considerably lower
than the market value thereby creating tax savings to the property owner, especially if the
building was recently purchased.
During the term of the contract, the property owner is required to allow for periodic
examinations of the interior and exterior of the premises by the County Assessor, the
Department of Parks and Recreation, the State Board of Equalization, and the City or its
agent as may be necessary to determine the Owner’s compliance with the Agreement.
Background Analysis
The Mills Act (Government Code 50280 et seq.) is a State law that provides incentives
for the restoration and preservation of qualified historic buildings by private property
owners. Enacted in 1972, the Mills Act legislation grants participating local governments
(cities and counties) the authority to enter into contracts with owners of qualified owner-
occupied and income-producing property who actively participate in the rehabilitation,
restoration, preservation, and maintenance of their historic property. In exchange,
participating property owners may be eligible for a reduction in their property taxes.
The Mills Act is recognized as one of the most important incentive programs available in
California for use by private property owners of qualified historic buildings. Over 80
communities in the state have established a Mills Act program.

MILLS ACT PROGRAM
APPLICATION MANUAL
INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE
The City of Palm Desert Mills Act Program was established by Resolution No. 2011-1 in
2011. The Mills Act is state legislation, en acted in 1972, that grants participating local
governments the authority to enter into contracts with owners of qualified historic
properties who receive a reduction in local property taxes to help offset the costs to
restore, rehabilitate, repair and maintain their properties. Although it is applicable to
historic income producing properties, it is the single most important economic incentive
program available in California for owner occupied historic residential buildings,
particularly single-family homes. A Mills Act program is developed in accordance with
California Government Code, Article 12, Sections 50280-50290 and California Revenue
and Taxation Code, Article 1.0, Sections 439-439.4
This manual is designed to assist you in completing the Mills Act application and provides
a summary of the program requirements.
QUALIFYING HISTORIC PROPERTIES
To qualify for the Palm Desert Mills Act program a property must be one of the
following:
Designated City Landmark
Contributing feature of a designated City historic district
Listed individually in the National Register of Historic Places
Contributing feature of historic district listed in the National Register of Historic
Places
National Historic Landmark
A property must be designated at the time an application is submitted. Questions
regarding the designation status of a property of the City’s designation program can be
addressed to the Cultural Resources Administrator in the Depa rtment of Building and
Safety.
TERMS OF A MILLS ACT CONTRACT
Duration: A Mills Act contract is for a minimum term of ten years. It is automatically
renewed each year on its anniversary date and a new ten year term becomes effective.
Contracts are transferred to new owners when the property is sol d.
Page 346
4
Termination: The property owner may terminate the contract by notifying the City at least
ninety (90) days prior to the annual renewal date. The City may terminate the contract by
notifying the owner at least sixty (60) days prior to the renewal date. The owner may make
a written protest about termination by the City. The contract remains in effect for the
balance of the term of the contract beyond the year of termination.
Alterations or Additions to a Property: Work performed on the property (interior,
exterior, and grounds) must meet all City requirements and comply with the “Secretary
of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation”. A 10-Year Property Improvement Plan is
required as part of the application and will be re-evaluated by the City every five years
or as needed.
Annual Reports: Property owners are required to submit an annual report to the City
indicating work completed per the 10-Year Property Improvement Plan. The report is
due by December 31 of each year and should include copies of receipts and/or building
permits where applicable.
Inspection for Compliance: City staff conducts a pre-contract inspection of the
property to ensure compliance with the terms of the contract. Conditions not conforming
to the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation may be required to be
brought into compliance before a contract is executed. City staff will conduct annual
property inspections following submittal of the annual report to ensure that proposed work
has been completed and meets all applicable City standards. Inspections may also be
required by the County Assessor, State office Historic Preservation and/or State Board of
Equalization. All inspections are by appointment with the property owner.
Breach of Contract: If the City determines that the property owner is in breach of contract,
the City may cancel the contract and the owner is liable for a cancellation fee of 12.5%
of the current value of the property as determined by the County Assessor.
ADMINISTRATION
City of Palm Desert: Mills Act applications and contracts are administered by the Cultural
Resources Administrator in the Department of Building and Safety. Upon selection for
the program, contracts are reviewed by the Cultural Resources Preservation
Committee and referred to the City Council for approval.
Riverside County: The County records executed Mills Act contract documents with the
County Recorder before December 31 of the applicable calendar year. After
recordation, the City transmits contract documents to the Riverside County Assessor
where the calculation for the exact property tax under the Mills Act is completed.
Page 347
5
The County Assessor calculates the tax saving using a stated-mandated reassessment
formula based on “capitalization of income” rather than simple “market value.” Mills Act
participants may realize a property tax savings averaging about 50% each year
depending on property value, net operating income, and other variables. Recently
purchased historic properties are most likely to receive the highest reduction. The Mills
Act Program does not guarantee a reduction amount for any property.
Contracts that are recorded by December 31 are reassessed by June 30 of the
following year and the reduced tax will appear on the tax bill of October of that year.
State of California: Within six months of entering into a Mills Act contract, the prope rty
owner must submit written notice to the State Office of Historic Preservation. This
notification states that the property owner has entered into a Mills Act contract. A copy
of the letter must be submitted to the City Cultural Resources Administrator.
APPLICATION AND SELECTION PROCESS
The City accepts up to seven (7) Mills Act contracts per year. Applications are accepted
year-round, but to be considered for the next fiscal year applications must be submitted
by July 30th.
Fees: A non-refundable application fee of $318.00 is due with your application. If your
application is accepted, a contract initiation fee deposit of $1000.00 will be due.
Submittal Requirements: The application should include the following:
1. Application Checklist

APPENDIX B
The Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation
The Standards (Department of Interior regulations, 36 CFR 67) pertain to historic buildings of all
materials, construction types, sizes, and occupancy and encompass the exterior and the
interior, related landscape features and the building's site and environment as well as attached,
adjacent, or related new construction. The Standards are to be applied to specific rehabilitation
projects in a reasonable manner, taking into consideration economic and technical feasibility.
1. A property shall be used for its historic purpose or be placed in a new use that requires
minimal change to the defining characteristics of the building and its site and environment.
2. The historic character of a property shall be retained and preserved. The removal of historic
materials or alteration of features and spaces that characterize a property shall be avoided.
3. Each property shall be recognized as a physical record of its time, place, and use. Changes
that create a false sense of historical development, such as adding conjectural features or
architectural elements from other buildings, shall not be undertaken.
4. Most properties change over time; those changes that have acquired historic significance in
their own right shall be retained and preserved.
5. Distinctive features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that
characterize a property shall be preserved.
6. Deteriorated historic features shall be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of
deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature shall match the old in
design, color, texture, and other visual qualities and, where possible, materials. Replacement of
missing features shall be substantiated by documentary, physical, or pictorial evidence.
7. Chemical or physical treatments, such as sandblasting, that cause damage to historic materials
shall not be used. The surface cleaning of structures, if appropriate, shall be undertaken using
the gentlest means possible.
8. Significant archeological resources affected by a project shall be protected and preserved. If
such resources must be disturbed, mitigation measures shall be undertaken.
9. New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction shall not destroy historic
materials that characterize the property. The new work shall be differentiated from the old and
shall be compatible with the massing, size, scale, and architectural features to protect the
historic integrity of the property and its environment.
10. New additions and adjacent or related new construction shall be undertaken in such a manner
that if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the historic property and its
environment would be unimpaired.

(a)The term of the contract shall be for a minimum period of 10 years.
(b) Where applicable, the contract shall provide the following:
(1) For the preservation of the qualified historical property and, when necessary, to restore and
rehabilitate the property to conform to the rules and regulations of the Office of Historic
Preservation of the Department of Parks and Recreation, the United States Secretary of the
Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation, and the State Historical Building Code.
(2) For the periodic examinations of the interior and exterior of the premises by the assessor,
the Department of Parks and Recreation, and the State Board of Equalization as may be
necessary to determ ine the owner's compliance with the contract.
(3) For it to be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, all successors in interest of the owner.
A successor in interest shall have the same rights and obligations under the contract as the
original owner who entered into the contract.
(c) The owner or agent of an owner shall provide written notice of the contract to the Office of
Historic Preservation within six months of entering into the contract.
50281.1. The legislative body entering into a contract described in this article may require that the
property owner, as a condition to entering into the contract, pay a fee not to exceed the reasonable cost
of administering this program.
50282. (a) Each contract shall provide that on the anniversary date of the contract or such other annual date
as is specified in the contract, a year shall be added automatically to the initial term of the contract unless
notice of nonrenewal is given as provided in this section. If the property owner or the legislative body desires
in any year not to renew the contract, that party shall serve written notice of nonrenewal of the contract on
the other party in advance of the annual renewal date of the contract. Unless the notice is served by the
owner at least 90 days prior to the renewal date or by the legislative body at least 60 days prior to the
renewal date, one year shall automatically be added to the term of the contract.
(b) Upon receipt by the owner of a notice from the legislative body of nonrenewal, the owner may make a
written protest of the notice of nonrenewal. The legislative body may, at any time prior to the renewal
date, withdraw the notice of nonrenewal.
(c) If the legislative body or the owner serves notice of intent in any year not to renew the contract, the
existing contract shall remain in effect for the balance of the period remaining since the original execution
or the last renewal of the contract, as the case may be.
(d) The owner shall furnish the legislative body with any information the legislative body shall require in
order to enable it to determine the eligibility of the property involved.
(e) No later than 20 days after a city or county enters into a contract with an owner pursuant to this article,

Page 367
28
describe the property subject thereto. From and after the time of the recordation, this contract shall impart
a notice thereof to all persons as is afforded by the recording laws of this state.
50284. The legislative body may cancel a contract if it determines that the owner has breached any of the
conditions of the contract provided for in this article or has allowed the property to deteriorate to the point

a contract if it determines that the owner has failed to restore or rehabilitate the property in the manner
specified in the contract.

address of each owner of property within the historic zone and shall be published pursuant to Section
6061.
50286. (a) If a contract is canceled under Section 50284, the owner shall pay a cancellation fee equal to
121/2 percent of the current fair market value of the property , as determined by the county assessor as
though the property were free of the contractual restriction.
(b) The cancellation fee shall be paid to the county auditor, at the time and in the manner that the county
auditor shall prescribe, and shall be allocated by the county auditor to each jurisdiction in the tax rate area
in which the property is located in the same manner as the auditor allocates the annual tax increment in
that tax rate area in that fiscal year.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, revenue received by a school district pursuant to this section
shall be considered property tax revenue for the purposes of Section 42238 of the Education Code,
and revenue received by a county superintendent of schools pursuant to this section shall be considered
property tax revenue for the purposes of Article 3 (commencing with Section 2550) of Chapter
12 of Part 2 of Division 1 of Title 1 of the Education Code.
50287. As an alternative to cancellation of the contract for breach of any condition, the county, city, or any
landowner may bring any action in court necessary to enforce a contract including, but not limited to, an
action to enforce the contract by specific performance or injunction.
50288. In the event that property subject to contract under this article is acquired in whole or in part by
eminent domain or other acquisition by any entity authorized to exercise the power of eminent domain,
and the acquisition is determined by the legislative body to frustrate the purpose of the contract, such
contract shall be canceled and no fee shall be imposed under Section 50286. Such contract shall be deemed
null and void for all purposes of determining the value of the property so acquired.
50289. In the event that property restricted by a contract with a county under this article is annexed to a city,
the city shall succeed to all rights, duties, and powers of the county under such contract.
50290. Local agencies and owners of qualified historical properties may consult with the State Historical
Resources Commission for its advice and counsel on matters relevant to historical property contracts.

California Revenue and Taxation Code, Article 1.9, Sections 439 – 439.4
439. Historical Property Restrictions; enforceably restricted property.
For the purposes of this article and within the meaning of Section 8 of Article XIII of the
Constitution, property is "enforceably restricted" if it is subject to an historical property
contract executed pursuant to Article 12 (commencing with Section 50280) of Chapter 1
of Part 1 of Division 1 of Title 5 of the Government Code.
439.1. Historical Property; definitions.
For purposes of this article "restricted historical property" means qualified historical
property, as defined in Section 50280.1 of the Government Code, that is subject to a
historical property contract executed pursuant to Article 12 (commencing with Section
50280) of Chapter 1 of Part 1 of Division 1 of Title 5 of the Government Code. For purposes
of this section, "qualified historical property" includes qualified historical improvements and
any land on which the qualified historical improvements are situated, as specified in the
historical property contract. If the historical property contract does not specify the land that
is to be included, "qualified historical property" includes only that area of reasonable size
that is used as a site for the historical improvements.
439.2. Historical Property; valuation.
When valuing enforceably restricted historical property, the county assessor shall not
consider sales data on similar property, whether or not enforceably restricted, and shall
value that restricted historical property by the capitalization of income method in the
following manner:
(a) The annual income to be capitalized shall be determined as follows:
(1) Where sufficient rental information is available, the income shall be the fair rent that
can be imputed to the restricted historical property being valued based upon rent
actually received for the property by the owner and upon typical rentals received in the
area for similar property in similar use whe re the owner pays the property tax. When the
restricted historical property being valued is actually encumbered by a lease, any cash
rent or its equivalent considered in determining the fair rent of the property shall be the
amount for which the property would be expected to rent were the rental payment to be
renegotiated in the light of current conditions, including applicable provisions under
which the property is enforceably restricted.
(2) Where sufficient rental information is not available, the income shall be that which
the restricted historical property being valued reasonably can be expected to yield under
prudent management and subject to applicable provisions under which the property is
enforceably restricted.
(3) If the parties to an instrument that enforceably restricts the property stipulate therein
an amount that constitutes the minimum annual income to be capitalized, then the income
to be capitalized shall not be less than the amount so stipulated. For purposes of this
section, income shall be determined in accordance with rules and regulations issued by
the board and with this section and shall be the difference between revenue and
expenditures. Revenue shall be the amount of money or money's worth, including any
cash rent or its equivalent, that the property can be expected to yield to an owner- operator
annually on the average from any use of the property permitted under the terms by
which the property is enforceably restricted. Expenditures shall be any outlay or average
annual allocation of money or money's worth that can be fairly charged
Page 369
30
against the revenue expected to be received during the period used in computing the
revenue. Those expenditures to be charged against revenue shall be only those which
are ordinary and necessary in the production and maintenance of the revenue for that
period. Expenditures shall not include depletion charges, debt retirement, interest on
funds invested in the property, property taxes, corporation income taxes, or corporation
franchise taxes based on income.
(b) The capitalization rate to be used in valuing owner-occupied single family dwellings
pursuant to this article shall not be derived from sales data and shall be the sum of the
following components:
(1) An interest component to be determined by the board and announced no later than
September 1 of the year preceding the assessment year and that was the yield rate equal
to the effective rate on conventional mortgages as determined by the Federal Housing
Finance Board, rounded to the nearest 1/4 percent.
(2) A historical property risk component of 4 percent.
(3) A component for property taxes that shall be a percentage equal to the estimated total
tax rate applicable to the property for the assessment year times the assessment ratio.
(4) A component for amortization of the improvements that shall be a percentage
equivalent to the reciprocal of the remaining life.
(c) The capitalization rate to be used in valuing all other restricted historical property
pursuant to this article shall not be derived from sales data and shall be the sum of the
following components:
(1) An interest component to be determined by the board and announced no later than
September 1 of the year preceding the assessment year and that was the yield rate equal
to the effective rate on conventional mortgages as determined by the Federal Housing
Finance Board, rounded to the nearest 1/4 percent.
(2) A historical property risk component of 2 percent.
(3) A component for property taxes that shall be a percentage equal to the estimated total
tax rate applicable to the property for the assessment year times the assessment ratio.
(4) A component for amortization of the improvements that shall be a percentage
equivalent to the reciprocal of the remaining life.
(d) Unless a party to an instrument that creates an enforceable restriction expressly
prohibits the valuation, the valuation resulting from the capitalization of income method
described in this section shall not exceed the lesser of either the valuation that would have
resulted by calculation under Section 110, or the valuation that would have resulted
by calculation under Section 110.1, as though the property was not subject to an
enforceable restriction in the base year.
(e) The value of the restricted historical property shall be the quotient of the inco me
determined as provided in subdivision (a) divided by the capitalization rate determined
as provided in subdivision (b) or (c).
(f) The ratio prescribed in Section 401 shall be applied to the value of the property
determined in subdivision (d) to obtain its assessed value.
439.3. Historical Property; notice of nonrenewal.
Notwithstanding any provision of Section 439.2 to the contrary, if either the county or
city or the owner of restricted historical property subject to contract has served notice of
Page 370
31
nonrenewal as provided in Section 50282 of the Government Code, the county
assessor shall value that restricted historical property as provided in this section.
(a) Following the hearing conducted pursuant to Section 50285 of the Government
Code, subdivision (b) shall apply until the termination of the period for which the restricted
historical property is enforceably restricted.
(b) The board or assessor in each year until the termination of the period for which the
property is enforceably restricted shall do all of the following:
(1) Determine the full cash value of the property pursuant to Section 110.1. If the property
is not subject to Section 110.1 when the restriction expires, the value shall be determined
pursuant to Section 110 as if the property were free of contractual restriction. If the
property will be subject to a use for which this chapter provides a special restricted
assessment, the value of the property shall be determined as if it were subject to the new
restriction.
(2) Determine the value of the property by the capitalization of income method as provided
in Section 439.2 and without regard to the fact that a notice of nonrenewal or cancellation
has occurred.
(3) Subtract the value determined in paragraph (2) of this subdivision by capitalization of
income from the full cash value determined in paragraph (1).
(4) Using the rate announced by the board pursuant to paragraph (1) of subdivision (b)
of Section 439.2, discount the amount obtained in paragraph (3) for the number of years
remaining until the termination of the period for which the property is enforceably
restricted.
(5) Determine the value of the property by adding the value determined by the
capitalization of income method as provided in paragraph (2) and the value obtained in
paragraph (4).
(6) Apply the ratios prescribed in Section 401 to the value of the property determined in
paragraph (5) to obtain its assessed value.
439.4. Historical Property; recordation.
No property shall be valued pursuant to this article unless an enforceable restriction
meeting the requirements of Section 439 is signed, accepted and recorded on or before
the lien date for the fiscal year in which the valuation would apply.

REQUEST:
February 10, 2022
Eric Ceja, Deputy Director of Development Services
Shawn Muir, Management Analyst
Request for direction for a future Request for Proposals (RFP) for
design work related to North Sphere Regional Park (NSRP)
Recommendation
By Minute Motion, provide City staff:
1.Confirmation of contents for a future RFP for design work related to the
NSRP and authorize the Parks and Recreations Commission to work with
the selected design firm on the final park design.
Strategic Plan
•Parks & Recreation – Priority 1: “Prepare for the financial requirements of
maintaining existing parks to the highest level of service. Planning efforts shall also
address future costs of replacement and growth of the parks capital improvement
fund.”
•Parks & Recreation – Priority 2: “Assure a continuing flow of innovative ideas by
seeking creative partnerships, ensuring adequate staffing, and encouraging resident
input.”
•Transportation – Priority 1: “Create walkable neighborhoods and areas within Palm
Desert that would include residential; retail; services and employment centers; and
parks, recreation and open space to reduce the use of low occupancy vehicles.”
Background Analysis
The NSRP is included in the Millennium Park Plan to provide residents of the
development with outdoor recreational opportunities. The need for a regional park in
this area is also designated by the City of Palm Desert General Plan.
Request for Proposals
Staff is preparing an RFP in which a specific scope of services will be developed when
soliciting public engagement and planning design firms with similar experience. The
Page 381
February 10, 2022 – Staff Report
RFP for North Sphere Park
Page 2 of 3
envisioned scope of services will require proposers to address the following:
•Develop and execute a public engagement plan to understand the community
needs for the facility.
•Provide a report to the City summarizing public engagement methods, events,
and outcomes. This report will establish a list of amenities that are needed at the
Park based on analysis of public engagement data.
•Provide a design that meets the established community needs, and is
welcoming, inviting, and enjoyable for a variety of users.
•Develop a water use, electrical, landscape and maintenance plan for park
facilities included in the design.
•Implement requirements of Millennium Specific Plan and environmental review
documents
•Provide additional concepts and design principles based on experience.
•Final design will be submitted to the City at the completion of the project.
Parks Commission and Public Outreach
Staff suggests that, once a design firm is awarded a contract, the City Council authorize the
Parks and Recreation Commission to work through design consideration and to assist in
public outreach efforts. Staff believes utilizing the Parks and Recreation Commission
through this process ensures adequate public participation from stakeholders in the
community that are familiar with the City’s needs for park amenities. Additional public
meetings to vet the design will also be scheduled with the public at large to solicit feedback
before finalizing design options.
Proposed Schedule
With the confirmation of the above items, staff will prepare and release the RFP towards the
end of March. Proposers would then have the month of April to prepare and submit their
proposals for review. Staff will review all proposals and bring back an award of contract to
the City Council in May.
Once awarded, the selected firm will work on design options with the assigned staff and the
Parks and Recreation Commission. Staff anticipates this process will take approximately
four to six months, inclusive of public meetings and presentations to various community
stakeholders. Once the Commission is confident with a final design, staff will prepare a
report and bring the design to City Council for final consideration. It is anticipated that this
will happen sometime in Winter 2022/2023.
Fiscal Analysis
There is currently $1,000,000 in the FY 21-22 Budget allocated to this project. An additional
$500,000 has been earmarked in available bond proceeds and will be requested as part of
the Budget process for FY 22-23, providing $1.5M available for the design and construction
Page 382
February 10, 2022 – Staff Report
RFP for North Sphere Park
Page 3 of 3
of the park. Additional funding sources are likely needed for full construction of the park and
staff will pursue grants and other funding sources that may be available. Selection and
award of contract will be reviewed at a later meeting in which monies will be appropriated
for the design.

REQUEST: Approve Resolution No. 2022-___ approving a Historic District
Designation for Sandpiper Condominiums Circle 2 Located on El
Paseo
________________________________________________________________
Recommendation
Waive further reading and adopt Resolution No. 2022-___, reaffirming the action
of the Cultural Resources Preservation Committee, designating the Sandpiper
Condominiums Circle 2, located on El Paseo, with a Historic District designation
in accordance with Section 29.50.010 of the Palm Desert Municipal Code
(PDMC).
Strategic Plan
The Archaeological and Cultural Resources Element is directly related to the Land Use,
Open Space and Conservation and Arts and Culture Elements of the General Plan and
may also influence the policies and programs outlines in the Community Design Element.
The issues addressed in the Archaeological and Cultural Resources Element are part of
those under California Government Code Section 65560(b) and Public Resources Code
Section 5076. Furthermore, Section 21083.2(g) of the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA) empowers the community to require adequate research, documentation, and
preservation when the potential for significant cultural resources exists.
Committee Recommendation
On November 30, 2021, the Cultural Resources Preservation Committee at its regular
scheduled meeting conducted a public hearing as required per PDMC 29.40.070 and
unanimously recommended nominating the Sandpiper Condominiums Circle 2 located on
El Paseo, with Historic District designation.
Background
On June 6, 2021, the board of directors of the “Palm Springs Garden Apartments #2
(HOA), referred to as Sandpiper 2, voted unanimously to pursue historic district
designation of Circle 2.
Sandpiper Condominiums Circles 2, completed in 1959 by the Los Angeles based
architectural firm of Palmer & Krisel, exhibit numerous stylistic markers that place them
directly in the historic context of Palm Desert’s Modern Period. Furthermore, Circle 2 is
Page 385
February 10, 2022 - Staff Report
Sandpiper Condominiums Circle 2
Page 2 of 3
an excellent example of multi-family residential development in Palm Desert. The 24
units and eight (8) buildings that comprise Circle 2 reflect a coherent vision of modernist
architecture rarely found anywhere else in the United States. The siting of the buildings
in Circle 2, and the landscape architecture further reinforce a coherent modernist
architectural vision that successfully created a leisure lifestyle of “carefree desert living.”
These properties are eligible for designation as a City Historic District in accordance with
Section 29.50.010 Historic District Designation Criteria:
• Exemplifies or reflects special elements of cultural, social, economic, political,
aesthetic, engineering, architectural, or natural history; or
• Is identified with persons or events significant in history; or
• Embodies distinctive characteristics of a style, type, period, or method of
construction, or is a valuable example of the use of indigenous materials or
craftsmanship; or
• Represents the work of master builders, designers, or architects; or
• Reflects distinctive examples of community planning or significant development
patterns, including those associated with different eras of settlement and growth,
agricultural, or transportation; or
• Conveys a sense of historic and architectural cohesiveness through its design,
setting, materials, workmanship, or associations; or
• Is an archaeological, paleontological, botanical, geological, topographical,
ecological, or geographical resource that has yielded or has the potential to yield
important information in history or pre-history. (Ord. 1168, 2008)
The Cultural Resources Preservation Committee reviewed and unanimously approved
the historic designation application and criteria during a public hearing conducted
November 30, 2021, affirming that it is eligible.
A historic designated area does interfere or restrict a property owner’s ability to enjoy their
property (i.e., decorate, remodel, or alter). This designation allows property owners to
voluntarily apply for the California Mills Act Program which provides tax incentives to
maintain their property appearance in an original concept. Therefore, there is no
requirement for property owners to participate.

WHEREAS, based on the Cultural Resources Ordinance 1168, the Cultural Resources Preservation Committee concludes the following: 1. Palm Deserts’ character and history are reflected in its cultural, historical, and architectural heritage. 2. Palm Deserts’ historical foundations should be preserved as living parts of the community life and development in order to foster an understanding of the City’s past so that future generations may have a genuine opportunity to appreciate, enjoy, and understand Palm Deserts’ heritage. 3. The Cultural Resources Preservation Committee has reviewed this site and determined it to be historically significant and could contribute to the economic and cultural revival of the City.
WHEREAS, in view of all the evidence and based on the forgoing designation
criterion, the Cultural Resources Preservation Committee concluded the following:
Sandpiper Condominiums Circle 2, completed in 1958 through 1959 by the Los Angeles-
based architectural firm of Palmer & Krisel, exhibit numerous stylistic markers that place
them directly in the historic context of Palm desert’s Modern Period. Furthermore, Circle
2 is an excellent example of a multi-family residential development in Palm Desert. The
24 units and eight (8) buildings that comprise Circle 2 reflect a coherent vision of
modernist architecture rarely found anywhere else in the United States. The siting of the
buildings in Circle 2, and the landscape architecture further reinforce a coherent
modernist architectural vision that successfully created a leisure lifestyle of “carefree
desert living.”
The site planning at Sandpiper is a pin-wheel configuration around a central hub (in this
case the pool) and its greenbelt concept draws from 19th century British planner
Ebenezer Howard’s Garden City. Howard’s concept envisioned a world where the best
of city and rural life is combined to create a utopian environment. He espoused the need
for green belts, in an effort to reduce congestion and to create a healthy environment in
which to live.
Palmer & Krisel expand Howard’s tenet by creating an environment free from cars, a
popular symbol of urban distress. Their site planning re-examines not only urban but
suburban living. Palmer & Krisel deftly sited all vehicular roads and carports on the
perimeter of each circle. Their buildings turn their “fronts” away from the street. The
“front porch” no longer faces the street but is moved to look onto the green belt. In this,
the pool becomes the “new streetscape”: the new social gathering place for the
complex.
Palm Desert, along with neighboring Palm Springs and Rancho Mirage, are
internationally known as a center of midcentury architecture. Therefore, the buildings
and site that constitute Sandpiper Condominiums Circle 2 represent an excellent
intact example of American Modernist architecture. This midcentury architecture may
therefore be viewed as an important component of the historic trend that has come to
Page 439
RESOLUTION NO. 2022-___
Page 3 of 3
define the Coachella Valley and one that exemplifies a particular period of the nation,
state, or local history.
The Sandpiper Condominiums Circle 2 located on El Paseo, meets the following
designation criterion as contained in the City’s Cultural Resources Ordinance, and is
hereby worthy of preservation and designation as a Local Historic District.
A. Exemplifies or reflects special elements of cultural, social, economic, political,
aesthetic, engineering, architectural, or natural history.
B. Reflects distinctive examples of community planning or significant development
patterns, including those associated with different eras of settlement and
growth, agricultural, or transportation.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM
DESERT DOES HEREBY DESIGNATE SANDPIPER CONDOMINIUMS CIRCLE 2,
LOCATED ON EL PASEO, AS A LOCAL HISTORIC DISTRICT
PASSED, APPROVED, AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Palm
Desert, California at its regular meeting held this 10th day of February 2022, by the following

Background
On February 20, 2020, the board of directors of the “Sandpiper 3 on El Paseo (HOA)”,
which represents Sandpiper Condominiums Circle 3, voted unanimously to pursue
historic district designation of Circle 3.
Sandpiper Condominiums Circles 3, completed in 1959 by the Los Angeles based
architectural firm of Palmer & Krisel, exhibit numerous stylistic markers that place them
directly in the historic context of Palm Desert’s Modern Period. Furthermore, Circle 3 is
an excellent example of multi-family residential development in Palm Desert. The 24 units
and eight (8) buildings that comprise Circle 3 reflect a coherent vision of modernist
architecture rarely found anywhere else in the United States. The siting of the buildings
in Circle 3, and the landscape architecture further reinforce a coherent modernist
architectural vision that successfully created a leisure lifestyle of “carefree desert living.”
These properties are eligible for designation as a City Historic District in accordance with
Section 29.50.010 Historic District Designation Criteria:
• Exemplifies or reflects special elements of cultural, social, economic, political,
aesthetic, engineering, architectural, or natural history; or
• Is identified with persons or events significant in history; or
• Embodies distinctive characteristics of a style, type, period, or method of
construction, or is a valuable example of the use of indigenous materials or
craftsmanship; or
• Represents the work of master builders, designers, or architects; or
• Reflects distinctive examples of community planning or significant development
patterns, including those associated with different eras of settlement and growth,
agricultural, or transportation; or
• Conveys a sense of historic and architectural cohesiveness through its design,
setting, materials, workmanship, or associations; or
• Is an archaeological, paleontological, botanical, geological, topographical,
ecological, or geographical resource that has yielded or has the potential to yield
important information in history or pre-history. (Ord. 1168, 2008)
Page 442
The Cultural Resources Preservation Committee reviewed and unanimously approved
the historic designation application and criteria during a public hearing conducted August
31, 2021, affirming that it is eligible.
A historic designated area does interfere or restrict a property owner’s ability to enjoy their
property (i.e., decorate, remodel, or alter). This designation allows property owners to
voluntarily apply for the California Mills Act Program which provides tax incentives to
maintain their property appearance in an original concept. Therefore, there is no

WHEREAS, based on the Cultural Resources Ordinance 1168, the Cultural Resources Preservation Committee concluded the following: 1. Palm Deserts’ character and history are reflected in its cultural, historical, and architectural heritage. 2. Palm Deserts’ historical foundations should be preserved as living parts of the community life and development in order to foster an understanding of the City’s past so that future generations may have a genuine opportunity to appreciate, enjoy, and understand Palm Deserts’ heritage. 3. The Cultural Resources Preservation Committee has reviewed this site and determined it to be historically significant and could contribute to the economic and cultural revival of the City.
WHEREAS, in view of all the evidence and based on the forgoing designation criterion, the
Cultural Resources Preservation Committee concluded the following
Sandpiper Condominiums Circle 3, completed in 1958 through 1960 by the Los Angeles-
based architectural firm of Palmer & Krisel, exhibit numerous stylistic markers that place
them directly in the historic context of Palm desert’s Modern Period. Furthermore, Circle
3 is an excellent example of a multi-family residential development in Palm Desert. The
24 units and eight (8) buildings that comprise Circle 3 reflect a coherent vision of
modernist architecture rarely found anywhere else in the United States. The siting of the
buildings in Circle 3, and the landscape architecture further reinforce a coherent
modernist architectural vision that successfully created a leisure lifestyle of “carefree
desert living.”
The site planning at Sandpiper is a pin-wheel configuration around a central hub (in this
case the pool) and its greenbelt concept draws from 19th century British planner
Ebenezer Howard’s Garden City. Howard’s concept envisioned a world where the best
of city and rural life is combined to create a utopian environment. He espoused the need
for green belts, in an effort to reduce congestion and to create a healthy environment in
which to live.
Palmer & Krisel expand Howard’s tenet by creating an environment free from cars, a
popular symbol of urban distress. Their site planning re-examines not only urban but
suburban living. Palmer & Krisel deftly sited all vehicular roads and carports on the
perimeter of each circle. Their buildings turn their “fronts” away from the street. The
“front porch” no longer faces the street but is moved to look onto the green belt. In this,
the pool becomes the “new streetscape”: the new social gathering place for the
complex.
Palm Desert, along with neighboring Palm Springs and Rancho Mirage, are
internationally known as a center of midcentury architecture. Therefore, the buildings
and site that constitute Sandpiper Condominiums Circle 3 represent an excellent
intact example of American Modernist architecture. This midcentury architecture may
therefore be viewed as an important component of the historic trend that has come to

define the Coachella Valley and one that exemplifies a particular period of the nation,
state, or local history.
The Sandpiper Condominiums Circle 3 located on El Paseo, meets the following
designation criterion as contained in the City’s Cultural Resources Ordinance, and is
hereby worthy of preservation and designation as a Local Historic District.
A. Exemplifies or reflects special elements of cultural, social, economic, political,
aesthetic, engineering, architectural, or natural history,
B. Reflects distinctive examples of community planning or significant development
patterns, including those associated with different eras of settlement and
growth, agricultural, or transportation.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
PALM DESERT DOES HEREBY DESIGNATE SANDPIPER CONDOMINIUMS CIRCLE
3 LOCATED ON EL PASEO, AS A LOCAL HISTORIC DISTRICT.
PASSED, APPROVED, AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Palm
Desert, California at its regular meeting held this 27th day of January 2022, by the following
