CONTENTS: Operation, Maintenance, and Reimbursement Agreement
Recommendation
By Minute Motion, authorize the Mayor to execute an Operation,
Maintenance, and Reimbursement Agreement between the City of Palm
Desert and the City of Indian Wells for common infrastructure facilities
Backqround
Indian Wells and Palm Desert jointly own certain infrastructure installations including,
but not necessarily limited to, traffic signals, safety lighting, and raised landscaped
medians and that are located partly within the boundaries of each agency. Both cities
desire to arrange for the ongoing operation and maintenance of the Installations and to
jointly share the cost.
Several agreements currently exist whereby the City of Palm Desert is reimbursed by
the City of Indian Wells for the maintenance of several landscaped medians and traffic
signals. Since that time, three more traffic signals have been installed (Fred Waring
Drive at Entrada las Brisas; Fred Waring Drive and California Drive; and Hovley Lane
East and Eldorado), which are currently being maintained by the City of Palm Desert
and are not part of the existing agreements. Therefore, the signals have been added
to this agreement.
In addition, fihe new agreement outlines the minimum maintenance requirements,
establishes the operating procedures, delineates the ownership percentage for each
intersection, and establishes the City of Palm Desert billing rates. The agreement will
commence on July 1, 2013, and will supersede any and all other agreements.

Bidders must examine the site and become acquainted with all conditions affecting the
work. In submitting a bid, the bidder warrants that they have made such site

of Non-Collusion shall be executed and submitted with the bid.

COMMUNICATION REGARDING BID
All timely requests for information submitted in writing will receive a written response
from City. Telephone communications with City staff are not encouraged, but will be

Special Terms and Conditions contained herein.
REQUIREMENT TO BID ON THE ENTIRE WORK
Bids are required for the entire work. The amount of the bid for comparison purposes
will be the total of all items. In case of discrepancy between the item price and the total
set forth for the item, the item price shall prevail, provided however, if the amount set
forth as an item price is ambiguous, unintelligible or uncertain for any cause, or is
omitted, or in the case of unit-basis items, is the same amount as the entry in the "Total"
column, then the amount set forth in the "Total" column for the item shall prevail in
accordance with the following:
C30770 SECTION 1, CONTRACT DOCUMENTS Page 4
a. As to lump sum items, the amount set forth in the "Total" column
shall be the item price.
b. As to unit-basis items, the amount set forth in the "Total" column
shall be divided by the estimated quantity for the item and the price
thus obtained shall be the item price.
The evaluation of bids and award of contract shall be based solely on the final decision
of City.
EXTRA WORK AND EMERGENCY SERVICE
Contractor may notify City of the need for extra work and/or City may request extra
work. Contractor must have a signed work order from the Director of Public Works or
his designee before beginning extra work.
Contractor shall provide twenty-four- (24) hour emergency service, with prompt
correction of mitigation of emergency damage, when notified of an occurrence. An
emergency that is causing a hazard to the public or property must be responded to
within one (1) hour. Failure to do so may result in monetary deductions from the monthly
billing. Response to emergency service shall be paid at the contract rate for additional
work. Work should be limited to the level required to mitigate an emergency and further
repairs shall be completed during normal working hours.
Extra work will be a separate item from normal contractual duties. Contractor is
expected to complete the contractual duties as specified on schedule and extra work
shall not interfere with or delay these duties.
AWARD OF CONTRACT
Acceptance by City at a meeting regularly called and held of a Contractor's Proposal
authorizes City to enter into a contract subject to the execution by both Contractor and
City of a written agreement evidencing said contract, and subject to Contractor
providing all requirements set forth in said contract including, but not limited to,
insurance and bonding requirements. Contractor is advised that City has up to 90 days
from Award of Contract within which to issue the Notice to Proceed.
BONDS REQUIRED
Contractor shall execute and submit, at the time of the bid, a Bid Bond in the amount of
ten (10%) percent of the contract amount. In addition to the Bid Bond, City requires at
the time of contract a Payment Bond in the amount of one hundred (100%) percent of
the contract amount from the successful bidder. In addition to the Bid Bond and the
Payment Bond, City requires at the time of contract a one hundred (100%) percent
Performance Bond from the successful bidder. All Bonds must be on City's forms
contained in the Contract Documents.
Bonds required under these specifications and Civil Code sections 3247 and 3248 shall
be provided by an admitted insurance company in the State of California and shall; in
addition, to the bond form, provide all information as follows:
(1) The original, or a certified copy, of the unrevoked appointment, power of
C30770 SECTION 1, CONTRACT DOCUMENTS Page 5
attorney, bylaws, or other instrument entitling or authorizing the person who
executed the bond to do so, within ten (10) calendar days of the insurer's
receipt of a request to submit the instrument.
(2) A certificate from the clerk of the county in which the court or officer is located
that the certificate of authority of the insurer has not been surrendered,
revoked, canceled, annulled, or suspended or, in the event that it has, that
renewed authority has been granted, within ten (10) calendar days of the
insurer's receipt of a request to submit the statements.
RETURN OF GUARANTEE (if applicable)
Bid bonds or checks of unsuccessful bidders will be returned by mail when the executed
agreement and bonds are received by City. The bid bond of the successful bidder will
not be returned but shall be exonerated by the execution and delivery of the Agreement
and the performance and payment bonds. If the guarantee of the successful bidder is a
check, it will be returned at the time a bid bond would be exonerated.
QUALIFICATIONS OF BIDDERS
No award will be made to any bidder who cannot give satisfactory assurance to City as
to its own ability to carry out the contract, both from its financial standing and by reason
of its previous experience as a contractor on work of the nature contemplated in the
contract. The bidder may be required to submit its record of work of a similar nature to
that proposed under these specifications, and unfamiliarity with the type of work may be
sufficient cause for rejection of a bid.
SUBLETTING AND SUBCONTRACTING
Bidders are required pursuant to the Subletting and Subcontracting Fair Practices Act
(commencing with Section 4100 of the Government Code) to list in their proposal the
name and location of place of business of each sub-contractor who will perform work or
labor or render services in or about the construction of the work or improvement or a
sub-contractor who will specifically fabricate and install a portion of the work or
improvement according to detailed drawings contained in the Plans and Specifications
in excess of one half of one percent (0.5%) of the prime Contractor's total bid. Failure
to list a sub-contractor for any portion of the work under the guidelines above implies
that Contractor's own forces will do that portion of the work. It is City's intent for the
Subletting and Subcontracting Fair Practice Act to apply to all phases of the work.
GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 4551
In entering into a public works contract or a subcontract to supply goods, services, or
materials pursuant to a public works contract, Contractor or Subcontractor offers and
agrees to assign to the awarding body all rights, title, and interest in and to all causes of
action it may have under Section 4 of the Clayton Act (15 U.S.C. Section)* or under the
Cartwright Act (Chapter 2 commencing with Section 16700, or Part 2 of Division 7 of the
Business and Professions Code), arising from purchases of goods, services, or
materials pursuant to the public works contract or the subcontract. This assignment
shall be made and become effective at the time the awarding body tenders final
payment to Contractor, without further acknowledgment by the parties.

the time set to open bids. Each potential bidder shall leave with CITY its name,
address, phone number and e-mail address for the purpose of receiving addenda.
CITY will cause copies of addenda to be mailed, delivered or e-mailed to such names at
such addresses. To be considered, a contractor's proposal must list and take into
account all issued addenda. Bids, to be acceptable, must acknowledge receipt of all
addenda.
INTERPRETATION OF DOCUMENTS
Discrepancies, omissions, ambiguities, and requirements likely to cause disputes
between trades and similar matters shall be promptly brought to the attention of CITY, in
writing, and to the attention of the Director of Public Works. When appropriate,
addenda will be issued by CITY. No communication by anyone as to such matters
except by addendum affects the meaning or requirements of the contract documents.

Each bidder shall meet all of the specifications, bid terms, and conditions. Non-
substantial deviations may be considered provided that the bidder submits a full
description of, explanation of, and justification for the proposed deviations. CITY will
make a final determination of any proposed deviation.
REQUIREMENT TO BID ON COMPLETE WORK
Bids are required for the entire work. The amount of the bid for comparison purposes
will be the total of all items. In case of discrepancy between the item price and the total
set forth for the item, the item price shall prevail, provided however, if the amount set
forth as an item price is ambiguous, unintelligible or uncertain for any cause, or is
omitted, or in the case of unit-basis items, is the same amount as the entry in the "Total"
column, then the amount set forth in the "Total" column for the item shall prevail in
accordance with the following:
➢ As to lump-sum items, the amount set forth in the "Total" column shall be the
item price.
➢ As to unit-basis items, the amount set forth in the "Total" column shall be
divided by the estimated quantity for the item and the price thus obtained
shall be the item price.
SUBMISSION OF ONE BID ONLY
No individual or business entity of any kind shall be allowed to make, file, or be
interested in more than one bid, except an alternative bid when specifically requested.
However, an individual or business entity which has submitted a sub-proposal to a
bidder submitting a proposal, or has quoted prices on materials to a bidder, is not
thereby disqualified from submitting a sub-proposal or from quoting prices to other
bidders submitting proposals.
QUALIFICATIONS OF BIDDERS
No award will be made to any bidder who cannot give satisfactory assurance to CITY as
to its own ability to carry out the contract, both from its financial standing and by reason
of its previous experience as a contractor on work of the nature contemplated in the
contract. The bidder may be required to submit its record of work of similar nature to
SECTION 1 —CONTRACT DOCUMENTS Page 4 of 22
that proposed under these specifications, and unfamiliarity with the type of work may be
sufficient cause for rejection of the bid.
SUBLETTING AND SUBCONTRACTING
Bidders are required pursuant to the Subletting and Subcontracting Fair Practices Act
(commencing with Section 4100 of the Government Code) to list in their proposal the
name and location of place of business of each subcontractor who will perform work or
labor or render services in or about the construction of the work or improvement or a
subcontractor who will specifically fabricate and install a portion of the work or
improvement according to detailed drawings contained in the Plans and Specifications
in excess of one half of one percent (0.5%) of the prime CONTRACTOR's total bid.
Failure to list a subcontractor for any portion of the work under the guidelines above
implies that CONTRACTOR's own forces will do that portion of the work. It is CITY's
intent for the Subletting and Subcontracting Fair Practice Act to apply to all phases of
the work.
BID WITHDRAWAL, LATE SUBMISSIONS, PUBLIC BID OPENING
A bidder may withdraw a proposal, without prejudice, prior to the time specified for the
bid opening, by submitting a written request to City Clerk for its withdrawal, in which
event the proposal will be returned to the bidder unopened. No proposal received after
the time specified or at any place other than the place stated in the Notice Inviting Bids
will be considered. All bids will be opened and declared publicly. Bidders or their
representatives are invited to be present at the opening of the bids.

INSTRUCTION TO BIDDERS
2013 CITYWIDE TREE PRUNING
PROJECT NO. 932-13
CONTRACT NO. C32330
QUALIFICATIONS OF BIDDERS
No award will be made to any bidder who cannot give satisfactory assurance to CITY as
to its own ability to carry out the contract, both from its financial standing and by reason
of its previous experience as a contractor on work of the nature contemplated in the
contract. The bidder may be required to submit its record of work of similar nature to
that proposed under these specifications, and unfamiliarity with the type of work may be
sufficient cause for rejection of the bid.
SUBLETTING AND SUBCONTRACTING
Bidders are required pursuant to the Subletting and Subcontracting Fair Practices Act
(commencing with Section 4100 of the Government Code) to list in their proposal the
name and location of place of business of each subcontractor who will perform work or
labor or render services in or about the construction of the work or improvement or a
subcontractor who will specifically fabricate and install a portion of the work or
improvement according to detailed drawings contained in the Plans and Specifications
in excess of one half of one percent (0.5%) of the prime CONTRACTOR's total bid.
Failure to list a subcontractor for any portion of the work under the guidelines above
implies that CONTRACTOR's own forces will do that portion of the work. It is CITY's
intent for the Subletting and Subcontracting Fair Practice Act to apply to all phases of
the work.
BID WITHDRAWAL, LATE SUBMISSIONS. PUBLIC BID OPENING
A bidder may withdraw a proposal, without prejudice, prior to the time specified for the
bid opening, by submitting a written request to City Clerk for its withdrawal, in which
event the proposal will be returned to the bidder unopened. No proposal received after
the time specified or at any place other than the place stated in the Notice Inviting Bids
will be considered. All bids will be opened and declared publicly. Bidders or their
representatives are invited to be present at the opening of the bids.
COMMUNICATION REGARDING BID
All timely requests for information submitted in writing will receive a written response
from CITY. Telephone communications with city staff are not encouraged, but will be
permitted; however, any such oral communication shall not be binding on CITY.
EVALUATION OF BIDS
The evaluation of bids and award of contract shall be based solely on the final decision
of CITY.

SCOPE OF WORK
CITY and AUTHORITY trees are located along street medians, certain parkway areas,
parks, parking lots, adjacent to city-owned buildings, and in multi-family housing
complexes. A recent tree inventory indicated there were approximately 1,357 broadleaf
trees with a DBH measurement of between four and forty inches (4" to 40") to be pruned
(see Attachments for species quantity and locations). The actual tree count will be
verified in the field between CONTRACTOR and the Director of Public Works or his
designee.
A portion of the work will be accomplished on street medians and parkways requiring
CONTRACTOR to close down a traffic lane to accomplish the work. At other locations
work can be accomplished from the curbside parking lanes and/or parking lots.
CONTRACTOR shall provide all necessary traffic control devices, as further specified,
as part of this proposal. It is strongly recommended that CONTRACTOR visit all sites
prior to submitting a bid. Trees located in multi-family complexes may not be accessible
to a boom truck, chipper or other equipment. Depending upon the site location,
equipment placement may require the approval of the Director of Public Works or his
designee prior to starting the work.
The trees are located in the City's landscape maintenance areas as listed and depicted
in the attachments.
The trees to be pruned are represented by the species listed in the attachments.
The work shall consist of tree pruning and removal of all debris from the work sites
before the end of the workday. The majority of pruning work will be end-weight
reduction, crown cleaning, and/or canopy reduction, and may include structural pruning.
Trees located immediately adjacent to major streets and some individual trees may
require crown reduction. This work includes pruning to prevent branch and foliage
interference with requirements for safe public passage (i.e., sidewalk clearance or sign
obstruction).
A brief description of the work completed and the condition of each tree (hazards, pests,
etc.) will be recorded by the certified arborist as work progresses. This record will be
based on the above-mentioned tree inventory.

Prior to the commencement of work, City staff will train CONTRACTOR crew on the City
of Palm Desert's tree pruning standards. CONTRACTOR will prune a minimum of five
(5) trees under the guidance of City's certified arborist to establish representative
samples. Only those employees present at the demonstration will be allowed to prune
City trees. CONTRACTOR is to adhere to the guidelines established at the pruning
demonstration. If a unique situation arises where CONTRACTOR believes a deviation
from the guidelines is required, CONTRACTOR must first notify CITY prior to
performing such pruning. If it is deemed by CITY that incorrect pruning has occurred,
all pruning activities will cease and desist until corrective measures are met.
When corrective measures are required in order to comply with City of Palm Desert's
pruning standards, they will include but will not be limited to stopping the job and re-
training CONTRACTOR and employees. The re-training will be conducted by City's
certified arborist; proof of attendance will be required and only those in attendance will
be allowed to prune City trees. CONTRACTOR will reimburse City for all costs
associated with the re-training of CONTRACTOR's staff.
PRUNING REQUIREMENTS
1) All work shall conform to current and applicable International Society of
Arboriculture (ISA) and American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standards.
