parkway plant material and irrigation, to enhance roadway beautification.
This project supports the Community Beautification theme identified as part of Santa Clarita
2020 and exemplifies the City of Santa Clarita's (City) commitment to maintaining a high
quality of life for residents. Investing in high -quality landscape projects within the public right-
of-way helps maintain higher property values and keeps the City on the cutting edge of water
management and infiltration practices.

Based on the evaluation of proposals and subsequent due diligence research of professional
references, staff recommends award of contract to STL Landscape, Inc. (STL), to cover the
completion of this project. STL possesses a valid state contractor's license and is in good
standing with the Contractors State License Board.
While the Santa Clarita Municipal Code maintains a Support of Local Businesses provision that
can be utilized by the City Council when warranted, the City is governed by the California
Public Contract Code with regard to public works project procurement. In this type of
procurement, the California Public Contract Code does not permit a city to utilize a Support of
Local Businesses policy, and instead requires award of contract to the lowest responsible bidder.
The project budget encompasses construction, inspection, labor compliance, and project
administrative costs. The 20 percent construction contingency will address costs associated with
unforeseen site conditions uncovered during the parkway excavation, including potential
conflicts with existing utilities, removal of unsuitable soil, or import of plant soil if necessary.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
Other action as determined by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no impact to the General Fund. This action requires a one-time appropriation in the
amount of $225,600 from the LMD Fund Balance, Fund 357, to expenditure account 12534-
5161.013.

and to delete the word "endeavor" with regard to any notice provisions.
E. Should CONTRACTOR, for any reason, fail to obtain and maintain the insurance
required by this Agreement, City may obtain such coverage at CONTRACTOR's
expense and deduct the cost of such insurance from payments due to
CONTRACTOR under this Agreement or terminate. In the alternative, should

agreement, City may cancel the Agreement immediately with no penalty.

prior to expiration of the policy, CONTRACTOR must notify City within 24 hours

out of performance by CONTRACTOR of services rendered pursuant to this Agreement,
CONTRACTOR will defend CITY (at CITY's request and with counsel satisfactory to CITY) and
will indemnify CITY for any judgment rendered against it or any sums paid out in settlement or
costs incurred in defense otherwise.
10. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. CITY and CONTRACTOR agree that CONTRACTOR
will act as an independent contractor and will have control of all work and the manner in which is
it performed. CONTRACTOR will be free to contract for similar service to be performed for other
employers while under contract with CITY. CONTRACTOR is not an agent or employee of CITY
and is not entitled to participate in any pension plan, insurance, bonus or similar benefits CITY
provides for its employees. Any provision in this Agreement that may appear to give CITY the

control over the work means that CONTRACTOR will follow the direction of the CITY as to end
results of the work only.

overhead and profit on work performed by the Subcontractor.
7-4.3.3 General — Add this subsection:
The markups specified in 7-4.3.1 and 7-4.3.2 above shall be considered as including, but
not be limited to, the Contractor's labor costs for personnel not working directly on the
Extra Work, including the cost of any tools and equipment which they may use. Such
costs shall not be reported as labor or equipment costs elsewhere except when they are
actually used in the performance of the Extra Work. Labor costs shall in that case be
reported for the labor classification corresponding to the type and nature of Extra Work
performed.
7-6 FINAL PAY ITEMS — Add this Subsection:
When an item of work is designated as a Final Pay Item in the Schedule of Prices, the
estimated quantity for that item of work shall be the final pay quantity, unless the dimensions of
any portion of that item are revised by the Engineer, or the item or any portion of the item is
eliminated. If the dimensions of any portion of the item are revised, and the revisions result in an
increase or decrease in the estimated quantity of that item of work, the final pay quantity for the
item will be revised in the amount represented by the changes in the dimensions. If a final pay
item is eliminated, the estimated quantity for the item will be eliminated. If a portion of a final pay
item is eliminated, the final pay quantity will be revised in the amount represented by the
eliminated portion of the item of work.
The estimated quantity for each item of work designated as a Final Pay Item shall be considered
as approximate only, and no guarantee is made that the quantity which can be determined by
computations, based on the details and dimensions shown on the Plans, will equal the estimated
quantity. No allowance will be made in the event that the quantity based on computations does
not equal the estimated quantity.
In the case of a discrepancy between the quantity shown in the Schedule of Prices for a Final Pay
Item and the quantity or summation of quantities for the same item shown on the Plans,
payment will be based on the quantity shown in the Schedule of Prices.
