Strategic Plan
The Tenant Improvement Project for the DOR at the Parkview Office Complex is a maintenance
activity and, as such, does not contribute directly to the objectives of the City's Strategic Plan.
Background Analvsis
As part of the existing lease agreement between the DOR and the City of Palm Desert for Suite
102 at the State Building, as negotiated by Staff, the City is responsible for certain tenant
improvements. One of these improvements is the carpet replacement. Additionally, it was agreed
in the lease that the flooring to be installed would be specified by the tenant. Funding for this
improvement was not previously identified. The cost of this improvement is the sole responsibility
of the City.
February 13, 2020 - Staff Report
Award Contract for Department of Rehabilitation Carpet Replacement (Project No. 774-18C)
Page 2 of 2
The State of California establishes multiple award,agreements in accordance with Public Contract
Code, also known as a California Multiple Awards Schedule (CMAS). Agreements are established
with multiple vendors based on previously bid and awarded projects by the Federal General
Services Administration (GSA). California does not use the prices set by the GSA, it negotiates
for equal or lower costs for the same/similar products and services. Once an agreement has been
entered into between the State of California and an approved vendor, the contract becomes
available to any public entity to use with confidence. The City frequently utilizes this method of
contracting for routine facility maintenance projects.
The flooring specified by the DOR, and the labor required to remove existing and install new, is
covered under the existing CMAS contract with Shaw Industries.
Fiscal Analvsis
The account for tenant improvements at the Parkview Office Complex contains sufficient funds
for this improvement. Staff is requesting the contract and contingency amounts ($47,526.66) to
be allocated to Account No. 5104195-4337020. Beyond the cost of the contract, there is no
additional fiscal impact.

Contract which Contractor has failed to perform or has performed inadequately; (3)
defective Work not remedied; (4) stop notices as allowed by state law; (5) reasonable

Contract Code Section 22300, the City will permit the substitution of securities for any
monies withheld by the City to ensure performance under the Contract. At the request

agreement used for the purposes of this Section shall be in the form provided by the City.

on account of work performed by such subcontractors in accordance with the terms of

and all security interests, liens, or other encumbrances. Contractor promises and agrees
that it will not pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise encumber the items in any manner that
would result in any lien, security interest, charge, or claim upon or against said items.
Such transfer of title shall not imply acceptance by the City, nor relieve Contractor from
the responsibility to strictly comply with the Contract, and shall not relieve Contractor of
responsibility for any loss of or damage to items.

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. Since the Work is being performed as part of an
applicable "public works" or "maintenance" project, as defined by the Prevailing Wage

calendar week, except when payment for overtime is made at not less than one and one-
half (1-1/2) times the basic rate for that worker.
3.8.4 Pavroll Records. Contractor and each subcontractor shall keep an
accurate payroll record, showing the name, address, social security number, work

employed by him or her in connection with the public work. The payroll records shall be
certified and shall be available for inspection at all reasonable hours at the principal office
of Contractor in the manner provided in Labor Code section 1776. In the event of
noncompliance with the requirements of this section, Contractor shall have 10 days in

Contractor must comply with this section. Should noncompliance still be evident after
such 10-day period, Contractor shall, as a penalty to City, forfeit not more than $100.00
for each calendar day or portion thereof, for each worker, until strict compliance is
effectuated. The amount of the forfeiture is to be determined by the Labor Commissioner.
A contractor who is found to have violated the provisions of law regarding wages on Public

period of one to three years as determined by the Labor Commissioner. Upon the request
of the Division of Apprenticeship Standards or the Division of Labor Standards

responsibility for compliance with this section is on Contractor. In accordance with Labor
Code section 1771.4, the Contractor and each subcontractor shall furnish the certified
payroll records directly to the DIR on a weekly basis and in the format prescribed by the
DIR, which may include electronic submission. 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.

and LVT Installation — State of California Department of Rehabilitation at Suite 102 in the
State Building (hereinafter referred to as the "Project").
WHEREAS, the work to be performed by the Contractor is more particularly set forth in
the Contract Documents for the Project dated November 1, 2019, (hereinafter referred to as
"Contract Documents"), the terms and conditions of which are expressly incorporated herein by
reference; and
WHEREAS, the Contractor is required by said Contract Documents to perform the terms
thereof and to furnish a bond for the faithful performance of said Contract Documents.
NOW, THEREFORE, we, Shaw Industries, Inc., the undersigned Contractor and
as Surety, a corporation organized and
duly authorized to transact business under the laws of the State of California, are held and firmly
bound unto the City in the sum of Forty Three Thousand Two Hundred Six and 06/100
DOLLARS, ($43,206.06), said sum being not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the total
amount of the Contract, for which amount well and truly to be made, we bind ourselves, our heirs,
executors and administrators, successors and assigns, jointly and severally, firmly by these
presents.
THE CONDITION OF THIS OBLIGATION IS SUCH, that, if the Contractor, his or its heirs,
executors, administrators, successors or assigns, shall in all things stand to and abide by, and
well and truly keep and perform the covenants, conditions and agreements in the Contract
Documents and any alteration thereof made as therein provided, on its part, to be kept and
performed at the time and in the manner therein specified, and in all respects according to their
intent and meaning; and shall faithfully fulfill all obligations including the one-year guarantee of all
materials and workmanship; and shall indemnify and save harmless the City, its officers and
agents, as stipulated in said Contract Documents, then this obligation shall become null and void;
otherwise it shall be and remain in full force and effect.
As a condition precedent to the satisfactory completion of the Contract Documents, unless
otherwise provided for in the Contract Documents, the above obligation shall hold good for a
period of one (1) year after the acceptance of the work by City, during which time if Contractor
shall fail to make full, complete, and satisfactory repair and replacements and totally protect the
City from loss or damage resulting from or caused by defective materials or faulty workmanship,
Surety shall undertake and faithfully fulfill all such obligations. The obligations of Surety
hereunder shall continue so long as any obligation of Contractor remains. Nothing herein shall
limit the City's rights or the Contractor or Surety's obligations under the Contract, law or equity,
including, but not limited to, California Code of Civil Procedure section 337.15.
Whenever Contractor shall be, and is declared by the City to be, in default under the
Contract Documents, the Surety shall remedy the default pursuant to the Contract Documents, or
shall promptly, at the City's option:
Exhibit F-3
(1) Take over and complete the Project in accordance with all terms and conditions in
the Contract Documents; or
(2) Obtain a bid or bids for completing the Project in accordance with all terms and
conditions in the Contract Documents and upon determination by Surety of the
lowest responsive and responsible bidder, arrange for a Contract between such
bidder, the Surety and the City, and make available as work progresses sufficient
funds to pay the cost of completion of the Project, less the balance of the contract
price, including other costs and damages for which Surety may be liable. The term
"balance of the contract price" as used in this paragraph shall mean the total
amount payable to Contractor by the City under the Contract and any modification
thereto, less any amount previously paid by the City to the Contractor and any
other set offs pursuant to the Contract Documents.
(3) Permit the City to complete the Project in any manner consistent with local,
California and federal law and make available as work progresses sufficient funds
to pay the cost of completion of the Project, less the balance of the contract price,
including other costs and damages for which Surety may be liable. The term
"balance of the contract price" as used in this paragraph shall mean the total
amount payable to Contractor by the City under the Contract and any modification
thereto, less any amount previously paid by the City to the Contractor and any
other set offs pursuant to the Contract Documents.
Surety expressly agrees that the City may reject any contractor or subcontractor which
may be proposed by Surety in fulfillment of its obligations in the event of default by the Contractor.
Surety shall not utilize Contractor in completing the Project nor shall Surety accept a bid
from Contractor for completion of the Project if the City, when declaring the Contractor in default,
notifies Surety of the City's objection to Contractor's further participation in the completion of the
Project.
The Surety, for value received, hereby stipulates and agrees that no change, extension of
time, alteration or addition to the terms of the Contract Documents or to the Project to be
performed thereunder shall in any way affect its obligations on this bond, and it does hereby waive
notice of any such change, extension of time, alteration or addition to the terms of the Contract
Documents or to the Project, including but not limited to the provisions of sections 2819 and 2845
of the California Civil Code.

on this bond will pay for the same to the extent hereinafter set forth.
NOW THEREFORE, we, the Principal and as Surety,
