STAFF REPORT
REQUEST: Ratify the City Manager's execution of a contract to extend the
deadline for the funding of PM-10 mitigation measures.
SUBMITTED BY: Michael Errante, P.E., Director of Public Works
DATE: February 24, 2005
CONTENTS: Resolution 02-140
Contract MS03016 (extension for City Contract C21660)
Recommendation:
By Minute Motion:
Ratify the City Manager's execution of a contract to extend the deadline
for the funding of PM-10 mitigation measures.
Executive Summary:
On November 14, 2002 the City Council adopted resolution 02-140 which approved the
application for an MSRC grant for soil stabilization and wind fences. The resolution also
authorized the City Manager to execute the grant contract document between the City and
SCAQMD for the MSRC funding allocation.
Due to staffing shortages at Caltrans, the project for which we received the funding is being held
up in the approval process. The City requested an extension for the funds from SCAQMD, but
that agency didn't receive the amendment to the contract until after the original contract expired.
A new contract was sent to the City to extend the funding through August 2005. The City
Manager has already executed this contract extension.
Therefore, staff recommends that City Council, by minute motion, Ratify the City Manager's
execution of the contract to extend the deadline for the funding of PM-10 mitigation measures.

Dear Mr. Gayler:
Enclosed is a fully executed AB 2766 Discretionary Fund contract for your records. The
contract number is AB 2766/MS03068. Please include your contract number on ALL
correspondence sent to the AQMD when referencing this project. Please address all
correspondence to:
Mr.. Matt Mackenzie/AB 2766
South Coast Air Quality Management District
21865 Copley Drive
Diamond Bar, CA 91765
(909) 396-2059 Fax (909) 396-3682
Included in this letter you will find copies of the MSRC's policies and procedures for
progress reporting and contract modifications, samples of progress reports and invoices
you will be submitting during the contract term, and a copy of the final report format.
Please read this information carefully and keep it in your contract file for future
reference.
Progress Reports
Progress reports should contain all pertinent information related to contract performance
during the specified period. Informative progress reports are critical as they are used to
evaluate the overall performance under the contract. MSRC staff also uses them as a tool
for determining if any MSRC action needs to be taken due to problems or delays. If for
some reason you need to extend the term of your contract or change the scope of the
project, it is very important that you record this in your progress reports and notify us
immediately. Do not change your project/contract without prior approval of the
MSRC.
Please refer to the Schedule of Deliverables in your contract to determine if your
reporting frequency is monthly or quarterly. Quarterly reports are used for contracts with
a long lead-time, for example, buying vehicles or the conversion of vehicles. This
basically covers the Alternative Fuels categories, which includes Public Transit Fleets,
School Bus Fleets, and Fleet Acquisitions. Monthly reporting is typically used for TCM

City of Palm Desert 2 Contract No. C21661
and all other categories. Exceptions to the monthly reporting rule may be considered if
contract milestones are not triggered for a long length of time.
Note: All heavy-duty contracts include a supplemental requirement for Annual Reports.
Please refer to the Schedule of Deliverables for further details. This reporting
requirement is in addition to the Monthly/Quarterly and Final Reports and extends
beyond the expiration date of the contract. All vehicle purchase and fueling station
contracts include the requirement to apply MSRC decals to MSRC-funded vehicles
and/or fueling stations. A decal order form is attached for this purpose. It is your
responsibility to order the appropriate number and type of decals when your vehicles
arrive.
A spreadsheet is used by Contracts staff to track the timely submission of progress
reports. This spreadsheet is submitted to the MSRC-TAC and the MSRC for their review
on a monthly basis. Be aware that failure to provide the required documentation of
progress will delay the payment of any invoices that are submitted on the contract and can
result in termination of your contract. You will find the "Policy to Terminate Contracts
Due to Lack of Progress/Response by Contractors" and a sample progress report in
Attachment A. Please refer to the Contract for reporting guidelines.
Contract Modifications
Any requests for contract modifications must be submitted to the AB 2766 Contract
Administration staff in writing. Requests must be submitted by the first Monday of the
month or at least ten days prior to the monthly MSRC-TAC meeting (typically held on the
second Thursday of each month). The procedure for presenting your request to the
MSRC for approval and the processing of subsequent paperwork takes approximately six
to eight weeks to complete.
Upon receipt, your request will be presented to a subcommittee for evaluation. The
subcommittee will present its recommendation to the MSRC-TAC, and the TAC will
make a recommendation to the MSRC. The MSRC will grant final approval or
disapproval of the request. Any contract changes made without prior approval of the
MSRC will be at the contractor's own risk. If the MSRC does not approve the
change, the contractor will not be reimbursed for any costs incurred as a result of
the unapproved change. The "Policy for Contract Modifications" is included as
Attachment B.
Invoicing
Funds are dispersed on a reimbursement basis. Supporting documentation of individual
charges in excess of $250 is required for all AB 2766 expenditures. Co -funding
expenditures are also tracked. You must document any co -funding expended for the
billing period when invoicing for AB 2766 funds. You must also expend your co -
funding in a manner that is proportionate with your expenditure of MSRC funds. If
you cannot provide supporting documentation for co -funding you may send a statement
certifying that the funds were spent as stated on the invoice and that proof of this
expenditure can be produced if audited. This statement must be signed by someone who
can authorize funding commitments.
City of Palm Desert 3 Contract No. C21661
Attachment C provides you with the MSRC Standard Invoice which must be used by all
contractors. It is also available in electronic format and will be emailed to you upon
request. Note that it does not preclude the need for documentation showing hourly rates,
receipts, etc., when necessary. Refer to your contract for specific guidelines.
The AQMD'S payment of invoices shall be subject to the following limitations and
requirements:
• LABOR - Costs invoiced to AQMD must be listed by rate, number of hours, and
professional category and must be in conformance with those set forth in Attachment
3 - Cost Schedule.
• EQUIPMENT, MATERIAL, SUPPLY COSTS, SUBCONTRACTORS AND
OTHER CHARGES - Costs must be itemized by CONTRACTOR. Supporting
documentation must be provided for all individual charges. CONTRACTOR'S failure
to provide receipts shall be grounds for AQMD'S nonpayment of such charges.
AQMD may reduce payments on invoices by those charges for which receipts were
not provided.
Final Reports
Per the contract, a comprehensive final report shall be provided to the MSRC prior to the
end of the contract term. The final report shall be subject to review and approval. The
final report shall be complete, on letter -size paper and in electronic Microsoft Word
format, and include illustrations and graphs, as appropriate, to document the work
performed and the results thereof under this contract. The final report will also contain,
in detail, the reduction of mobile source air pollution emissions resulting from the
project's implementation. Please submit your report in a sturdy binder, as it will be
placed in the AQMD's library for use as reference material. The final report format can
be found in Attachment D.
I hope this letter answers most of your questions. Please feel free to call me at
(909) 396-3269 to discuss any problems or concerns you may have.

Cynthia Ravenstein

COACHELLA VALLEY PARTICULATE MATTER REDUCTION PROGRAM CONTRACT
1. PARTIES - The parties to this Contract are the South Coast Air Quality Management District
(hereinafter referred to as "AQMD") whose address is 21865 East Copley Drive, Diamond Bar,
California 91765, and the City of Palm Desert (hereinafter referred to as "CONTRACTOR") whose
address is 73-510 Fred Waring Drive, Palm Desert, California 92260.
2. RECITALS
A. AQMD is the local agency with primary responsibility for regulating stationary source air pollution
in the South Coast Air Basin in the State of California (State). AQMD is authorized under State
Health & Safety Code Section 44225 (Assembly Bill (AB) 2766) to levy a fee on motor vehicles for
the purpose of reducing air pollution from such vehicles and to implement the California Clean Air
Act.
B. Under AB 2766 the AQMD'S Governing Board has authorized the imposition of the statutorily set
motor vehicle fee. By taking such action the State's Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) is
required to collect such fee and remit it periodically to AQMD.
C. AB 2766 further mandates that thirty (30) percent of such vehicle registration fees be placed by
AQMD into a separate account for the sole purpose of implementing and monitoring programs to
reduce air pollution from motor vehicles.
D. AB 2766 creates a regional Mobile Source Air Pollution Reduction Review Committee (MSRC) to
develop a work program to fund projects from the separate account. Pursuant to approval of the
work program by AQMD'S Governing Board, AQMD Board authorized a contract with
CONTRACTOR for services described in Attachment 1 - Statement of Work, expressly
incorporated herein by this reference and made a part hereof of this Contract.
E. CONTRACTOR has met the requirements for receipt of AB 2766 Discretionary Funds as set forth
in CONTRACTOR 's Coachella Valley Particulate Matter Reduction Program Application dated
November 4, 2002.
3. DMV FEES - CONTRACTOR acknowledges that AQMD cannot guarantee the amount of fees to be
collected under AB 2766 will be sufficient to fund this Contract. CONTRACTOR further acknowledges
that AQMD'S receipt of funds is contingent on the timely remittance by State's DMV. AQMD assumes
no responsibility for the collection and remittance of motor vehicle registration fees by DMV to AQMD
in a timely manner.
4. AUDIT - Additionally, CONTRACTOR shall, at least once every two years, or within two years of the
termination of the Contract if the term is Tess than two years, be subject to an audit by AQMD or its
authorized representative to determine if the revenues received by CONTRACTOR were spent for the
reduction of pollution from Motor Vehicles pursuant to the Clean Air Act of 1988. AQMD shall
coordinate such audit through CONTRACTOR'S audit staff. If an amount is found to be inappropriately
expended, AQMD may withhold revenue from CONTRACTOR in the amount equal to the amount
which was inappropriately expended. Such withholding shall not be construed as AQMD'S sole
remedy and shall not relieve CONTRACTOR of its obligation to perform under the terms of this
Contract.

and approved by AQMD prior to the termination date. No work shall commence prior to the Contract
start date, except at CONTRACTOR'S cost and risk, and no charges are authorized until this Contract
is fully executed. Upon written request and with adequate justification from CONTRACTOR, the
MSRC Contracts Administrator may extend the Contract up to an additional six months at no additional
cost. Term extensions greater than six months must be reviewed and approved by the MSRC.
7. TERMINATION - In the event any party fails to comply with any term or condition of this Contract, or
fails to provide the services in the manner agreed upon by the parties, including, but not limited to, the
requirements of Attachment 1 - Statement of Work, this shall constitute a material breach of the
Contract. The nonbreaching party shall have the sole and exclusive option either to notify the
breaching party that it must cure this breach within fifteen (15) days or provide written notification of its
intention to terminate this Contract with thirty (30) day's written notice. Notification shall be provided in
the manner set forth in Clause 13 below, entitled - Notices. Termination shall not be the exclusive
remedy of the nonbreaching party. The nonbreaching party reserves the right to seek any and all

exceed the total Contract value), including all noncancellable commitments incurred in performance of
this Contract through the effective date of termination for any reason other than breach.
8. INSURANCE - CONTRACTOR is permissibly self -insured and will maintain self-insurance in
accordance with applicable provisions of California law as evidenced by certificate of self-insurance in
Attachment 3, herein. CONTRACTOR shall maintain such coverage during the term of this Contract
and any extensions thereof. If CONTRACTOR fails to maintain the required insurance coverage,
AQMD reserves the right to terminate the Contract or purchase such additional insurance and bill
CONTRACTOR or deduct the cost thereof from any payments owed to CONTRACTOR.
9. INDEMNIFICATION - CONTRACTOR agrees to hold harmless, defend, and indemnify, AQMD, its
officers, employees, agents, representatives, and successors -in -interest against any and all loss,
2
Contract No. MS03068
Contract No. C21661
damage, cost, or expenses which AQMD, its officers, employees, agents, representatives, and
successors -in -interest may incur or be required to pay by reason of any injury or property damage
caused or incurred by CONTRACTOR, its employees, subcontractors, or agents in the performance of
this Contract.
10. PAYMENT
A. AQMD shall pay CONTRACTOR a Firm Fixed Price of Forty Two Thousand Three Hundred
Thirty Nine Dollars ($42,339) upon completion of the project on a reimbursement basis. Any
funds not expended upon early contract termination or contract completion shall revert to the AB
2766 Discretionary Fund. Payment of charges shall be made by AQMD to CONTRACTOR within
thirty (30) days after approval by AQMD of an itemized invoice prepared and furnished by
CONTRACTOR.
B. An invoice submitted to AQMD for payment must be prepared in duplicate, on company

social security number or Employer Identification Number and submitted to:
South Coast Air Quality Management District
21865 East Copley Drive
Diamond Bar, CA 91765
Attn: Cynthia Ravenstein, MSRC Contract Administrator
C. No funds shall be paid out to CONTRACTOR pursuant to this Contract, until the project
described in Attachments 1 and 2 are completed and proof of completion is provided to AQMD.
If the project described in Attachments 1 and 2 are not completed and satisfactory proof of
completion is not provided to AQMD, no monies shall be due and payable to CONTRACTOR.
Proof of completion shall include a Final Report detailing the project goals and accomplishments
D. Additional AB 2766 Discretionary Match Funds will not be available to fund project cost overruns.
Any project cost overruns must be funded from other than AB 2766 Discretionary Funds.
E. The Firm Fixed Price amount of this Contract shall not exceed the total AB 2766 Funds applied to
the project described in Attachments 1, 2, and 3 of this Contract.
F. If, at the completion of the Project described in Attachment 1, the actual amount of AB 2766
Funds utilized in performance of the project is less than the amount described in Attachment 2,
the Firm Fixed Price amount reimbursed to CONTRACTOR by AQMD shall not exceed 100% of
the actual AB 2766 Fund amount expended for the project.
11. MAINTENANCE OF WIND FENCING
CONTRACTOR shall at CONTRACTOR's expense maintain wind fences in good repair for the
duration of the term of this Contract.
12. MOBILE SOURCE EMISSION REDUCTION CREDITS (MSERCs)
A. The MSRC has adopted a policy that no MSERCs resulting from AB 2766 Discretionary Funds
may be generated and/or sold.
B. CONTRACTOR has the opportunity to generate MSERCs as a by-product of the project if a
portion of the air quality benefits attributable to the project resulted from other funding sources.
These MSERCs, which are issued by AQMD, are based upon the quantified vehicle miles traveled
(VMT) by project vehicles or other activity data as appropriate. Therefore, a portion of prospective
MSERCs, generated as a result of AB 2766 Funds, must be retired. The portion of prospective
3
Contract No. MS03068
Contract No. C21661
credits funded by the AB 2766 program, and which are subject to retirement, shall be referred to
as "AB 2766-MSERCs."
C. The determination of AB 2766-MSERC's is to be prorated based upon the AB 2766 program's
contribution to the cost associated with the air quality benefits. In the case where AB 2766
Discretionary Funds are used to pay for the full differential cost of a new alternative fuel vehicle or
for the retrofitting or repowering of an existing vehicle, all MSERCs attributable to AB 2766
Discretionary Funds must be retired. The determination of AB 2766-MSERCs for infrastructure
and other ancillary items is to be prorated based upon the AB 2766 program's contribution to the
associated air quality benefits. Determination of the project's overall cost will be on a case -by -
case basis at the time an MSERC application is submitted. AQMD staff, at the time an MSERC
application is submitted, will calculate total MSERCs and retire the AB 2766-MSERCs.
CONTRACTOR would then receive the balance of the MSERCs not associated with AB 2766
funding.
13. NOTICES - Any notices from either party to the other shall be given in writing to the attention of the
persons listed below or to other such addresses or addressees as may hereafter be designated in
writing for notices by either party to the other. A notice shall be deemed received when delivered or
three days after deposit in the U.S. Mail, postage prepaid, whichever is earlier.

POLICY ON CONTRACT MODIFICATIONS
SCOPE CHANGES, EXTENSIONS, AND COST REALLOCATIONS
1. Contract extensions or scope changes may be requested on AB 2766 Discretionary Fund
contracts. Contractors should submit requests in writing, using the Modification Request
Form, to the Contract Administrator's office. Reasons for the request should be well
documented by the Contractor. The Contract Administrator will present the requests to
both the MSRC-TAC and the MSRC for consideration and approval.
2. Contract extensions and scope changes must be submitted by 9.a.m. on the first Monday
of the month to be considered by the MSRC-TAC and MSRC for that month. Requests
received after the first Monday of the month will be considered at the following month's
MSRC-TAC and MSRC meetings. Late extension requests for contracts expiring prior to
the following months MSRC-TAC meeting, must include a discussion of the compelling
reasons for the untimely submission of the request. Such requests will be considered on a
case -by -case basis by the MSRC - TAC.
3. Extension requests and scope changes will be considered by the MSRC-TAC and MSRC
on a case -by -case basis. An option clause shall be included in all contracts that will allow
MSRC staff the ability to extend a contract an additional six months at no cost to the
MSRC or the contractor. All subsequent extensions will be brought to the MSRC for its
consideration.
If a contract extension or scope change is for the contractor's convenience, the MSRC
shall have the discretion to request a downward adjustment in the contract price, an
additional task, an additional report or seek other legal consideration as a condition of
granting the extension or scope change. Situations defined as convenience are problems
or delays caused by internal management or administration, for example, failure to submit
progress reports or final reports in a timely manner, failure to aggressively monitor the
project, and extensions merely to exhaust unexpended funds.
A delay due to problems with the delivery or manufacturing of equipment or vehicles and
circumstances beyond the control of the contractors will not be considered as changes
for the contractor's convenience. Documentation of delays will be required. The MSRC
shall have the discretion to seek legal consideration for extension or requests granted
under these circumstances.
21865 East Copley Drive, Diamond Bar, California 91765 ig 909/396-2479 or 396-3043 fax 909/396-3682
4. Any contract changes made without prior approval of the MSRC will be at the
contractor's own risk. If the MSRC does not approve the change, the contractor will not
be reimbursed for any costs incurred as a result of the unapproved change.
5. The contractor is responsible for properly monitoring the project and should notify the
Contract Administrator immediately if the Contractor feels the project is in jeopardy of
falling behind schedule or problems arise.
6. Requests for extensions must be received in writing by the Contract Administrator 60
days prior to the close of the contract. The approval process for contract extensions and
scope changes takes approximately six weeks. If a request is made within 60 days of the
end date of the contract, the contract may expire prior to review and approval of the
request. If this situation occurs, the contractor must stop work until the time extension is
approved. In the event the extension is not approved the contractor must consider the end
date of the contract term and may not bill for work done after this date.

SRC

Contract No. C21661
Attachment A
Policy to Terminate Contracts Due to Lack of Progress
or Response by Contractors
The intent of this policy is to discourage Contractors from failing to provide documentation of progress
made on AB 2766 Discretionary Fund projects. It is the intent of the MSRC to ensure that work is
completed pursuant to the work statement set forth in the respective contracts. In the event that progress
is not made without adequate justification by the Contractor and subsequent approval by the MSRC, the
MSRC may recommend that the contract be terminated and funds be reallocated to other projects.
MSRC contracts require all contractors to submit progress reports within 15 days of the end of the
reporting period (quarterly or monthly based upon the type of project). Under this policy failure to submit
progress reports within the allotted time may be considered a material breach and subject the contract to
termination. If the Contractor fails to submit progress reports as required by the contract, the following
shall occur:
If after seven (7) days past the progress report due date, the Contractor fails to submit progress reports as
required by the contract Contracts Staff 'will notify the Contractor in writing of the delinquency and
request that the progress report be submitted within seven (7) days of the written notice.
For Monthly Reports: If the CONTRACTOR fails to submit a progress report for the second consecutive
month, the Contracts Administrator shall send a second written notice indicating that two previous
progress reports are due and that they must be submitted within 15 days. If the CONTRACTOR fails to
provide a report for a third consecutive month, the AQMD's Contracts Manager shall provide written
notice to the CONTRACTOR to cure the delinquency within 15 days of the notice or be subject to
termination within 30 days.
For Quarterly Reports: If the CONTRACTOR fails to submit a progress report, the Contracts
Administrator shall send a written notice indicating that the progress report is due and that it must be
submitted within 15 days. If the Contractor does not respond within the allotted time, the AQMD's
Contracts Manager shall provide written notice to the CONTRACTOR to cure the delinquency within 15
days of the notice or be subject to termination within 30 days.
Also, if the CONTRACTOR has a history of non-consecutive (three or more occasions) delinquent
progress reports this may be considered a material breach of the contract and be grounds for immediate
termination of the contract. For example, if progress reports are submitted in such an inconsistent and
sporadic fashion as to indicate a lack of compliance with this contract provision (e.g., progress report
submitted one month, skipping several months thereafter).
In addition, if a contract is terminated as a result of this policy, the direct contractor involved will not be
eligible to apply for AB 2766 Discretionary Funds for two program years.
