"'°'-[ STAFF REPORT
OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
DATE: NOVEMBER 21, 1995
TO: MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: WILLIAM R. KELLY, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: RECOMMENDATION TO ENTER INTO A PROFESSIONAL
SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH NORMAN ROBERTS &
ASSOCIATES, INC. TO RECRUIT FOR THE POSITION OF
DEPUTY CITY MANAGER/DEVELOPMENT SERVICES
DIRECTOR
SUMMARY
The position of Deputy City Manager/ Development Services Director is vacant due to
the recent resignation of Rick Gomez. This report recommends that the City begin the
process to fill this position by retaining the services of a professional recruiting firm.
DISCUSSION
The Deputy City Manager /Development Services Director serves as a Department
Head in the City of Arcadia, administering the Community Development, Economic
Development and Engineering Divisions. At this time, there are several key projects
needing administrative review, e.g. the General Plan Update, the Downtown 2000
Project and the Santa Anita Entertainment Complex application. It is essential for the
City to attract and retain a highly qualified candidate.
Using an executive recruiting firm provides several benefits, not the least of which is
that they have the resources to reach a large number of people, possibly bringing us
candidates who may not otherwise be aware of or interested in the position; they
provide virtually all of the services associated with recruiting for a department head
position; and they are able to do the work at a more rapid pace than staff.
In order to fill the position in the most timely and efficient manner, and maximize the
number of qualified applicants, staff sought proposals from two experienced executive
search firms. After evaluating the proposals, we are recommending that the firm of
Norman Roberts & Associates, Inc. ( "NRA ") be retained to coordinate the recruitment
process. NRA has an excellent reputation and is highly recommended by other
municipal agencies. They are also very familiar with the City of Arcadia; our residential
and business community, as well as our organizational structure and staffing.

M
For a fee not to exceed $18,000.00 ($12,500.00 fixed fee and up to $5,500.00 in
reimbursables), NRA will provide the following services:
• Recruitment/Advertising
• Preliminary Screening
• Progress Reporting (Detailed reports on candidate qualifications,
experience and personal fitness for the position.)
• Candidate Evaluation, Reference Verification, Credit/Criminal /Motor
Vehicle Record Checks
• Final Reporting on top candidates
Ancillary activities such as processing paperwork, coordinating the interview process,
notifying unsuccessful candidates, etc. are also included in the fee.
If City staff were to conduct the recruitment, a significant amount of money would be
spent on advertising, printing, postage, a background check, staff time, etc. The
numerous staff hours it would take to work on this recruitment would require other
projects to be delayed. In addition, recruitment by staff does not allow for making the
personal contacts that are often so helpful attracting highly qualified candidates,
spreading the word about the open position, and obtaining candid referrals about who
might be best suited to serve as Arcadia's Deputy City Manager /Development Services
Director.
FISCAL IMPACT
The cost to retain NRA to recruit for the position of Deputy City Manager /Development
Services Director will not exceed $18,000.00 which includes a $12,500.00 fixed fee and
reimbursables of up to $5,500.00.
Funds are available in the Development Services Department budget due to the
anticipated two -three months salary savings associated with the vacant position.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to enter into a
Professional Services Agreement with Norman Roberts & Associates, Inc. in an amount
not to exceed $18,000.00 for recruitment of a Deputy City Manager /Development
Services Director; and, further, that the City Council authorize the City Manager to
execute all of the necessary documents relative to said Agreement, subject to approval
as to form by the City Attorney.

October 24, 1995
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Rick Gomez, Deputy City Manager /Development Services Director
Gerald Gardner, Fire Chief
By: Donna Butler, Community Development Administrator and,
Roy Streeter, Inspection Services Manager
SUBJECT: Consideration of amendments to the Uniform Building, Mechanical, Plumbing,
Swimming Pool, Spa and Hot Tub, Housing, Building Conservation and National
Electric Codes and the Uniform Fire Code.
SUMMARY
On July 1, 1995, the California Building Standards Code (CBSC) was adopted by the State and
will become effective on January 1, 1996 for local enforcement. The Uniform Housing Code,
the Uniform Swimming Pool Spa and Hot Tub Code, the Uniform Plumbing Code, Uniform
Conservation Code and National Electric Code will become effective upon adoption by the City
Council.
The California Mechanical Code (UMC) which was delayed by the Courts was not published until
August 23, 1995 and will become effective on February 23, 1996 for local enforcement.
The 1994 Uniform Fire Code was adopted by the State on July 1, 1995 and will become effective
January 1, 1996.
All of the above codes have been completely reformatted into a common code format established
by the Council of American Building Officials. This reformatting has not changed the
technical content of the codes which are presently in affect, however, the reformatting requires
that the City's Building and Fire regulations be completely renumbered and reformatted.
The Development Services Department and Fire Department are recommending approval of the
proposed amendments as set forth in the attached draft regulations.

DISCUSSION
The following summarizes the proposed changes to the codes:
1994 Building Code
M
In addition to the reformatting, the following is a summary of the proposed additions and
changes:
a) Section 8130.2 includes the building code appeal procedures adopted by the City Council in in
1994.
b) Section 8130.7 clarifies the expiration period for building permits and provides an explanation
is included as to what is considered "abandoned" or "suspended ".
c) Section 8130.10 adds definitions for "rebuild" and "remodel" as it pertains to existing
buildings. These definitions have been policies established by the Community Development
Division for the past three years to clarify and establish requirements relating to zoning, fire
and building regulations.
d) Section 8130.19 has been amended to be consistent with the Uniform Plumbing Code to
require that devices which generate a glow, spark or flame be elevated 18 inches above the
floor level where flammable vapors may be present, i.e., parking garages, etc.
e) Section 8130.21 has been amended to reduce the height requirement for fire sprinklered
buildings including offices, apartment houses and congregate residence occupancies from 75
feet to 55 feet.
f) Section 8130.24 requires basement ceilings of repair garages to be protected with one -hour
fire resistive construction to restrict the spread of fire where vehicles containing flammable
fuels are serviced.
g) Section 8130.42 limits the size of a building that is supported on a wood foundation to 120
square feet which is consistent with the City's maximum size allowed for a "temporary"
structure without permits.
h) Section 8130.43 restricts the use of "Gypsum Greenboard" as a wall covering in wet areas
(showers, steam rooms, etc.) because of its poor performance to withstand water saturation.
This amendment requires that any material used as a backing in these areas shall be impervious
to moisture thus preventing any future deterioation or costly damage to the building.
dbrpt3 UBC/UFC Amendments
October 24, 1995
Page 2
1994 Plumbing Code
The only change in the Plumbing Code is to include the appeal process adopted by the City in
1994.
1993 National Electrical Code
Only Section 8320.4 of the Electrical Code has been amended to include the exclusion of
electrical panels and switchboards from installation in storage rooms to reduce the threat of fire.
1994 Mechanical Code
There were only two amendments to the Mechanical Code:
a) Section 8430.1 was amended to include the appeal process adopted by the City Council in
1994.
b) Section 8430.5 was amended to provide for the dischrage of condensate waste into a floor
sink or lavatory tailpiece. Discharge into other plumbing fixtures would require the approval
of the Building Official.
1994 Swimming Pool, Spa and Hot Tub Codes
The only addition to this code is to require a permit for the removal and demolition of swimming
pools, spas and hot tubs. This section also sets forth requirements for the removal.
1994 Uniform Fire Code

exceptions:
a) Section 3115.2 has been amended to establish a required $50.00 filing fee for special event
permit applications.
b) Section 3115.20 is amended to remove exceptions 2 and 3 in order to provide for the
requirement of fire sprinkler installations in open parking structures and Group F Division 2
Occupancies.
c) Sections 3116 through 3116.5 have been added to provide for the administration of the
appeals procedure adopted by the City Council in 1994.
d) Sections 3160 through 3160.2 provide for the Chief and his authorized representative to have
the powers of a Police Officer in performing their duties and authorization to issue arrest
citations necessry for enforcement of any City and State Code applicable to fire and life safety.

October 24, 1995
Page 3
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The proposed amendments are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act per
Section 15061(b)(3) which states in part that "CEQA applies only to projects whch have the
potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty
that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the
environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA."
FISCAL IMPACT
Adoption of the above codes will have no fiscal impact on the City.
RECOMMENDATION
The Development Services Department and the Fire Department recommend that the codes as
submitted with their amendments be adopted as the Uniform Codes for the City of Arcadia
FINDINGS AND MOTION
If the City Council concurs with the staff recommendation, the Council should direct staff to
prepare the appropriate ordinances for adoption at a later meeting.

FROM: Pat Malloy, Maintenance Services Director
By: Rita A. Kurth, Administrative Assistant
Prepared by: David Haradon, Administrative Aide
SUBJECT: RECOMMENDATION TO APPROVE RESOLUTION NO. 5886
AUTHORIZING THE USED OIL GRANT PROGRAM APPLICATION
Summary
In March of 1995, the City received a grant to continue the City's Used Oil Recycling
Program. The attached application is a request for grant funds in the amount of $15,903
to pay for the cost of recycling containers and public education materials for this program.
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 5886 approving filing of the
grant application for the California Used Oil Recycling Program.
Background
The California Oil Recycling Enhancement Act of 1991 mandated that the Integrated
Waste Management Board provide annual block grants to local governments for used oil
collection programs. In March the City of Arcadia was granted the requested amount of
$14,176.84. Through this grant, the City purchased 1,500 used oil recycling containers to
distribute to Arcadia residents free of charge. To date approximately 300 containers have
been distributed to Arcadia residents.
This grant application (attached) requests grant funds for FY 1996-97 to purchase 1,000
additional six-quart recycling containers for this program. Chief Auto Parts would remain
the City's used oil recycling collection center and distribute these containers to residents
free of charge. Residents would obtain a recycling container from Chief Auto Parts to
dispose of their used oil. Once a resident accumulates used motor oil, they would return
the container to Chief Auto Parts for the recycling and proper disposal of that oil.
This Used Oil Recycling Program further enhances the City's existing program by
purchasing additional recycling containers and developing more extensive public education

DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEP.MRTMENT
October 24, 1995
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Rick Gomez, Deputy City Manager/Development Services Direct. hi
By: Donna L. Butler, Community Development Administrator
SUBJECT: Reorganization Reorganization of Easterly City Boundary Adjacent to the
Whispering Pines Development (Bluth Property)
SUMMARY
A request was filed by Bluth Development for a City Boundary Reorganization
between the City of Monrovia and the City of Arcadia. The boundary
reorganization includes the daylighted portions of lots 15, 16 and 17 of Tract 42936
(Whispering Pines Phase II) referred to as the "Sliver" lots or Area 1, and two new
lots referred to as the "Point" lot (Area 2) and the "New" lot (Area 3). (See attached
Exhibit A)
The Planning Commission at its September 26 meeting recommended that the City
Council approve the proposed boundary reorganization and zoning of the property
to R-M (Residential Mountainous).
DISCUSSION
The proposed boundary line reorganization consists of approximately 2.56 acres
located east and south of Tract 42936 (Whispering Pines Phase II in the City of
Arcadia). The reorganization is comprised of three distinct areas as follows.
Sliver Lots (Area 1)
•
Area 1 is referred to as the "sliver" lots, a narrow parcel located on the east side of
the existing City boundary. This area was graded (daylighted) by Mr. Bluth„ wit h
approval of the City of Monrovia (in 1989) as part of Tract 42936. There are three
distinct graded areas which are part of the vacant adjacent lots 15, 16 and 17 of Tract
42936. These "sliver" lots are not buildable areas.
Monrovia approved the daylighting of this area in 1989 subject to specific
conditions of approval including the requirement for backdrop landscaping, specific
Reorganization
October 24, 1995
Page 1
fencing requirements and recordation of a final parcel map after the property was
annexed to Arcadia.
Point Lot (Area 21
Area 2 is referred to as the "Point" lot. This lot was graded after the Monrovia
Planning Commission approval in 1989 and is currently vacant. Access to the lot is
through Lot 20 of Tract 42936 in Arcadia. There is no available access in Monrovia.
Because any development of the site would be visible. from Monrovia, approval of
the lot by the City of Monrovia was subject to specific conditions of approval.
New Lot (Area 3)
The "New" lot was graded as part of the Whispering Pines Phase II subdivision in -
Arcadia. This parcel is located in the Womble Tract located in Monrovia and is part
of an existing lot which has two distinct pads at different elevations. The lower
building pad will remain in Monrovia and be accessed from Terrace View Avenue.
The upper building pad, referred to as the "new" lot contains approximately 0.92
acres and has access through an easement on Lot 22 of Tract 36895 (Whispering
Pines Phase I development in Arcadia). As part of the proposed boundary
readjustment, this lot is proposed to be annexed to the City of Arcadia.
ANALYSIS
The property included in the boundary reorganization will potentially result in the
construction of two (2) new dwellings (Areas 2 and 3). Prior to approving the.
boundary reorganization, the City of Monrovia required that Mr. Bluth sign a pre-
annexation agreement (Exhibit B) which would insure that any potential impacts
from the construction of these dwellings would be mitigated. The point lot (Area 2)
due to its visibility has been conditioned with respect to building height, setback
from top of slope and landscaping. The second lot (Area 3) is silhouetted against a
hill, any new dwelling on this lot would not be as prominent, therefore, conditions
have been added relating only to landscaping and berming. The sliver lots will be
open space and attached to the rear of the lots in Arcadia.
A parcel map will be required to be processed for Area 1 to separate the "daylighted"
area from the remainder of Bluth's property in Monrovia and Area 3 to split the
"new" lot from the existing lot in Monrovia. The "point" lot is,an existing legal lot.
No new grading is being proposed for any of the lots.
The proposed annexation will create a logical reorganization of the easterly City
boundary. The "sliver" lots are already an extension of the properties located in
Tract 42936 and the. two new lots can only be accessed through- Arcadia. Although
the boundary line will be irregular, it more closely parallels the topography as
opposed to the existing straight north-south boundary line.
Reorganization
October 24, 1995
Page 2
Section 9294.5 of the Municipal Code notes that concurrent with the annexation,
the City Council shall classify the property for zoning purposes. This property is
adjacent to the Whispering Pines Phases I and II development. Based upon the
zoning and general plan designation of the adjacent property, the Development
Services Department is recommending that the General Plan designation for this
area be "Single-Family 0-6 du/ac" and that the zoning designation be "R-M
(Residential Mountainous)".
MISCELLANEOUS
The request for boundary reorganization has been reviewed, by the Fire
Department, Engineering Division and Water Division. In discussing this matter
with both the Fire Chief and Water Manager, the City can provide the necessary fire
and water services to the two new lots. Their conditions of approval have been
incorporated in the recommendation set forth below.
The City Attorney and Development Services Department staff have also reviewed
and approved the content of the Pre-Annexation Agreement (Exhibit B) signed by
Mr. Bluth.
BOUNDARY REORGANIZATION PROCESS
A boundary readjustment requires several actions; the first two actions have been
completed:
1. Resolution of Detachment from the City of Monrovia. On August 15, the
Monrovia City Council adopted Resolution 95-45 consenting to the detachment
of certain property from the City of Monrovia. Monrovia also approved a Pre-
annexation Agreement signed by Mr. Bluth and setting forth specific conditions
of approval for the detachment.
2: Report from the Planning Commission as to the desirability of the annexation
and the zoning classification to be placed thereon.
3. Arcadia approval of the Pre-Annexation Agreement.
4. Adoption of a Resolution by the City Council consenting to the annexation.
5. Concurrent with the annexation of the property the City Council shall classify
the property for zoning purposes.
6. Upon receipt of the resolution from the City of Arcadia, the Local Agency
Formation Commission (LAFCO) will process the reorganization.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
Pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act, the
Community Development Division has, prepared an initial study for the proposed
annexation and property rezoning. Said initial study did not disclose any
substantial or potentially substantial adverse change in any of the physical
conditions within the area affected by the project including land, air, water,
minerals, flora, fauna, ambient noise and objects of historical or aesthetic
significance. When considering the record as a whole, there is no evidence that the
proposed annexation and property rezoning will have any potential adverse effect
on wildlife resources or the habitat upon which the wildlife depends. Therefore, a
Negative Declaration has been prepared for this project.
RECOMMENDATION •
Staff is recommending approval of the proposed boundary reorganization and
property rezoning with the following conditions:
1. That the City Council approve the Pre-Annexation Agreement. (Exhibit B)
2. Compliance with all conditions set forth in the Pre-Annexation Agreement
if approved by the Arcadia City Council.
3. That the General Plan designation for Areas 1, .2 and 3 as shown on the
attached map shall be Single-Family Residential 0-6 du/ac.
4. That the Zoning Designation for Areas 1, 2 and 3 shall be R-M (Residential
Mountainous).
5. That fire safety requirements shall be complied with to the satisfaction of the
Fire Chief including but not limited to:
a) GPM Fire Flow at 20 psi.
b) A hydrant shall be located within 300' of proposed structures on the two
new lots.
c) Each new lot shall be accessed by a 20'-0" wide access road with turn
around or hammerhead or other similar access approved by the Fire
Chief.

file a lot split (parcel map) for Areas 1 and 3 with the City of Arcadia and that
an access easement shall be provided and subject to approval by the City of
Arcadia and utility services (including sewer) must be in accordance with
utility companies and City of Arcadia requirements.
CITY COUNCIL FINDINGS AND ACTION

appropriate, the City Council should authorize the Mayor to enter into a ! pre-
annexation agreement with Charles R. Bluth and the City of Monrovia and direct
staff to prepare the appropriate resolution consenting to the annexation and the

DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT
November 21, 1995
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Donna L. Butler, Community Development Administrator
SUBJECT: Request to Allocate an Additional $73,050 (from the Capital Outlay Fund)
for preparation of the General Plan Update
SUMMARY
On March 21, 1995, the City Council authorized the Development Services Department
to proceed with a General Plan Update and set aside $160,000 from the Capital Outlay
Fund for professional and legal services in the preparation of the General Plan.
The City has contracted with LSA Associates, Inc. ($150,000) to prepare the General
Plan, and Frelich, Kaufman, Fox and Sohagi ($10,000) for legal services.
Since the original agreement, the City has requested additional work and/or studies not
included in LSA's original Scope of Work. Initially it was anticipated that the General
Plan Update would be primarily a technical update and review of the General Plan text
Since then LSA has been requested to augment its original scope of work to include
assistance in the coordination of issues relating to the Santa Anita Entertainment Center
Project; additional alternatives to be addressed in the EIR and preparation of Early
Consultation Letters, the Initial Study and Notice of Preparation. In addition as part of
the expanded alternatives, Agajanian & Associates, the City's economic consultant on
the Santa Anita Project, has been requested to prepare an economic and fiscal impact
analysis for the General Plan alternatives relating to the Santa Anita Project.
Also, the Development Services Department has and will continue to incur significant
additional costs for mailing notices and newspaper publication of public meetings;
printing notices and documents and other miscellaneous costs in order to encoLrage
public participation in the hearing process.
The Development Services Department is requesting that the City Council allocate an
additional $73,050 from the Capital Outlay Fund for the General Plan Update program.

DISCUSSION
Consultant Costs - LSA Associates. Inc.
Currently, the City is undergoing several projects including the Santa Anita Project, the
Downtown 2000 project, and the sewer, water and drainage master plans which involve
considerable staff time in various departments. As a consequence, staff has requested
additional services and assistance from LSA beyond their original scope of work to
complete the General Plan Update in a timely manner:
As a result of the Development Services Department's request, LSA Associates, Inc. is .
requesting a budget amendment to their contract. The approved contract for LSA is in
the amount of $149,985; they are requesting an additional $54,295 for the items set
forth below.
Early Consultation: State Law requires that an Agency consult informally with all
responsible agencies to obtain recommendations on whether an EIR or a Negative
Declaration should be prepared on a project. LSA prepared the early consultation letter
for the City to distribute to affected agencies. The approved agreement did not include a
budgeted tasks for the preparation of the early consultation letter.
Initial Study and Notice of Preparation: Originally the Initial Study and Notice of
Preparation was to be prepared and distributed by City staff. In order to meet the
program schedule and to ease City staffs work, LSA prepared the draft documents for
City review, comment and distribution.
Project Issues Resolution: The original General Plan Update was anticipated to
primarily consist of a technical update of the Plan's data base along with a general
review and necessary revision to the General Plan text. LSA has been asked to
participate in additional issues such as additional coordination related to the Santa Anita
Entertainment Center project; additional land use alternatives and sites to be analyzed in
the General Plan EIR; review and analysis of regional population, housing and
employment projections by SCAG and continual revisions to program schedule and
program direction.
Additional Alternatives: LSA has been requested to prepare and analyze additional EIR
alternatives as part of the General Plan EIR, beyond the number of alternatives originally
anticipated in the approved agreement. These include three development scenarios for
the Santa Anita Race Track property at an equal level of detail; the potential for
development of residential uses on the Rodeffer property, and minimal commercial
development for the Santa Anita Race Track facility.
Alternatives Assessment Report and Update: Based on the additional alternatives
analysis the Alternative Assessment Report may need to be amended.

Alternatives Assessment Report and Update: Based on the additional alternatives
analysis the Alternative Assessment Report may need to be amended.
At the City's request, LSA has determined that approximately $20,000 of their additional
costs is directly associated with changes in the Santa Anita Entertainment Project.
Consistent with the Agreement with Santa Anita with reference to related "project costs,
on October 16, a letter requesting $19,803 to cover the SAER related cost for the
General Plan update was submitted to Santa Anita with a complete explanation of the
additional costs.
Consultant Costs - Agajanian & Associates
As part of the expanded Alternatives Assessments, Agajanian & Associates also has
been requested to prepare an economic evaluation and fiscal impact analysis for the
General Plan alternatives related to the Santa Anita project. Their tasks include
Economic Evaluation of the General Plan alternatives which includes review and
comment as to the feasibility of the alternative project sizes and composition and fiscal
impacts of the General Plan alternatives which includes a comparative fiscal impact
analysis for up to five (5) General Plan alternatives. The costs for the economic
evaluation and fiscal impact studies is $11,000.
City Expenses
•
The original $160,000 set aside for the General Plan Update, did not include costs to the
City relating to: publication in the newspaper of public meetings, printing and mailing of
public hearing notices, costs for reproduction of all notices, and copies of the EIR and
the General Plan Update. There is inadequate money in the Development Services
Department's budget to pay for these additional expenses. Staff is requesting that
$7,755 be set aside to cover these costs.
FISCAL IMPACT
The current $160,000 is budgeted in the 1994-1995 Capital Outlay Funds. The
Administrative Services Director has indicated that there are sufficient "unbudgeted
funds" in the Capital Outlay Fund for the additional $73,050 for the General Plan Update.
Based upon all of the above noted costs, the Development Services Department is
requesting $73,050 be added to be budget for the General Plan Update. When the City
receives the additional funds from Santa Anita for their "project" related costs, only
$53,247 will be necessary to be transferred from the General Fund.

IMPROVEMENT PROJECT - REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
FOR APPROVAL OF REVISED PROJECT COSTS WITH
RELATED PAYMENT AUTHORIZATIONS, APPROPRIATIONS,
REIMBURSEMENTS, FUND ALLOCATIONS AND
AUTHORIZATION REGARDING LEGAL REMEDIES VS.
SULLY-MILLER CONTRACTING COMPANY
SUMMARY
The purpose of this agenda item is to finalize authorizations and appropriations
for emergency work completed by Sequel Contractors, work completed by Moore
Electric as sub-contractor to Sully-Miller and the anticipated cost for Sequel to
complete the balance of the Downtown 2000 Project. Additionally, this report
amends the project description of the Capital Improvement Program to permit the
expanded use of budgeted Gas Tax funds and sets forth the proposed funding
sources for new appropriations needed to complete the Project. These sources
include Redevelopment funds and the Water Fund. Legal action against Sully-
Miller is also recommended.
•
DESCRIPTION
In early August, Sully-Miller Contracting Company ceased work on the
Downtown 2000 Streetscape and Public Improvement Project. On August 22,
1995, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 5877 declaring an emergency,
suspending a portion of the Sully-Miller work, and authorized staff to complete
emergency construction on the storm drain system before the beginning of the
rainy season. Sequel Contractors were selected. Their emergency
construction work amounted to approximately $598,000.

On October 3, 1995, the City Council terminated the Sully-Miller contract and
adopted Resolution No. 5882 authorizing staff to obtain a new contractor to
complete the balance of the Downtown 2000 Project. Pursuant to a selection
process, Sequel Contractors and Moore Electric were selected to complete the
project as expeditiously as possible (ie. March, 1996)..Project costs amounte
to $3,240,600 for Sequel Contractors and $1,338,720 forNome...glectricr
including 5% contingency for both (total $4,579,320)fSequefwill be completing
fhe`sform drain work on First Avenue, the water lines on Huntington Drive,
curbs/gutters/sidewalk, landscaping and pedestrian amenities on both
Huntington Drive and First Avenue. Moore will be purchasing the light and traffic
standards ($525,064) and be paid for installing electrical conduit and pole
foundations ($111,150), pursuant to the canceled Sully-Miller contract (Total -
$636,214). In addition, Moore will also be installing the electrical conduit and
the new pedestrian lights on both Huntington and First, and relocating some
traffic signals on Huntington Drive ($702,506) for a combined total of
$1,338,720.
•
The Huntington Drive street resurfacing project description in the FY 1994-96
Capital Improvement Program (C.I.P.) did not include eligible project activities
such as curb/gutter/sidewalk/street lights. The approved budget is $945,000 for
FY1994-95 and $130,000 for FY1995-96, Total - $1,075,000. By amending the
description, full use of the approved and budgeted Gas Tax funds can be made.
The Water Fund will need an additional appropriation of $120,000 increasing the
budget total to $590,000 in order to complete the project because of costs
incurred due to increased mobilization and night work caused by Sully-Miller's
stoppage.
FISCAL IMPACT
The construction cost has increased approximately $1.1 million because of
Sully-Miller's lack of proper performance. This increase is summarized below in
round numbers:
Duplicate mobilization and traffic control: $ 385,000
Emergency work premium : $ 200,000
Higher unit prices for remainder of work: $ 408,000
Night work to complete project: $ 100,000
Total: $1,093,000

Slightly over 50% of the total work on the project was for needed general City
public improvements (storm drain, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, street trees),
approved and budgeted City Capital Improvements (ie., parallel water mains,
street resurfacing). Less than 50% is for "Streetscape" revitalization
improvements (pedestrian lights, landscaping, etc.)
A summary of estimated construction-related general City public improvements,
Capital Improvement Projects, and Revitalization Costs is shown below:
City General Typical
and Capital Downtown
Improvements Revitalization
Huntington Drive pavement overlay: $490,000
Water lines: $380,000
Storm drain system: $780,000
Curbs/gutters/sidewalks: $851,300
Mobilization & traffic control: $570,000
Street lights & traffic signals: $1,339,000
Hardscape and landscape: $1,135,000
Sub Total: $3,071,300 $2,474,000
Total Construction: $5,545,300
5% Contingency: $ 277,300
$5,822,600
Materials to be purchased from
Sully-Miller: $ 170,400
Total Project: $5,993,000
The construction cost figures above include significant deductions from Sully-
Miller's invoices. Some of the electrical work was completed by Moore Electric
and will be paid directly to them. Also, some of the work tasks were invoiced as
100% complete, when in fact the work was partially complete. Further, some of
the work was deficient and had to be corrected by Sequel.
The original Sully-Miller construction bid was $4,900,000, including add-on and
15% contingency. The difference is then approximately 1,093,000. The Agency
will need to appropriate an additional $1,100,000 to provide for these costs, City
Engineering labor charges, and other miscellaneous project costs.

L.A. County will be reimbursing the City/Agency $400,000 for the partial cost of
the storm drain.
The share of the Downtown 2000 construction costs allocated by Funds are set
forth below:
$ Comments
Gas Tax Fund: 18.0% $1,075,000 If Council amends
(FY94/95 carry over project description
and FY95/96)
Water Fund: 10.0% $ 590,000 If Council increases
budget by $120,000
Redevelopment Agency: 72.0% $4,378,000
Total: $5,993,000
City staff, ASL Consulting Engineers, Inc. (ASL), the City's Construction
Manager, and Willdan Associates, the City's Construction Inspector are
reviewing Sully-Miller's invoices. Certain monies may be owed to Sully-Miller;
however, these are offset by the Agency's cost of the emergency work, much of
which Sully-Miller was to do, and the added cost of completing the job with
additional mobilization, some premium night work and higher unit prices. ASL
and Willdan have also informed staff that some of Sully- Miller's work had to be
corrected by Sequel. ,
The City Attorney is recommending denial of the claim of Sully-Miller on tonight's
agenda. Consistent with that recommendation and the cost differential
concerning the project attributable to Sully-Miller, we recommend authorization
of the City Attorney and special counsel to pursue legal remedies against Sully-
Miller and their sureties.
RECOMMENDATION
1) That the City Council authorize payment of $598,000 to Sequel
Contractors for the emergency construction work on the Downtown
2000 Project storm drain system per City Council Resolution No. 5877.
