SUBJECT: EXTENSION TO THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH
SUNWEST ENGINEERING CONSTRUCTORS, INC. FOR THE CITY'S FUEL MANAGEMENT AND EXTRAORDINARY REPAIR SERVICES IN THE AMOUNT OF $21,506.85
Recommendation: Approve
SUMMARY On September 16, 2014, the City Council approved a Professional Services Agreement
(“Agreement”) with Sunwest Engineering Constructors, Inc. for the City’s fuel
management and extraordinary repair services. The contractor is reaching the end of
their second extension and has agreed to hold their prices for an additional year. This will be the contractor’s third contract extension; all other terms and conditions of the contract will remain in effect.
Based on the excellent level of service provided by the contractor, it is recommended
that the City Council approve, and authorize and direct the City Manager to execute a one year extension to the Professional Services Agreement with SunWest Engineering Constructors, Inc. for the City’s fuel management and extraordinary repair services in
the amount of $21,506.85.
BACKGROUND The Public Works Services Department is responsible for the purchase of bulk fuels
(unleaded and diesel) that are delivered and stored at its five underground and
aboveground fuel dispensing sites. These sites are located at Fire Stations 105 and
107; the Police Department; and the Public Works Services Department. As fuel is both stored and dispensed at these sites, the City must comply with regulations mandated by Los Angeles County Environmental Division, the South Coast Air Quality Management
District, and federal environmental regulations. These mandates were established to
ensure effective operation of the underground fuel tanks and dispensing equipment, and
to protect the public and the environment from the potential release of vapor and other

contaminants in the air, soil, and groundwater during the transfer and dispensing of
gasoline at fuel dispensing facilities.
To comply, the City must conduct monthly testing and annual permitting, inspections, and certifications to all its underground and aboveground storage tanks and equipment, including extraordinary repairs. Extraordinary repairs could include equipment servicing
of fuel dispensers and fuel pumps; pumping water out of a fuel tank; piping repairs from
tank to tank; and line pressure testing and painting. Additionally, these services must
be performed by a state-certified and licensed contractor. SunWest Engineering Constructors, Inc. has been providing repair, maintenance, and
inspection services to fueling system owners for almost 20 years. They have extensive
experience with fueling system components, system design, installation, maintenance
and operation, and regulatory compliance and reporting. They have successfully served clients in the industrial sector, commercial industry, and local government. Some of their current clients include Verizon Services Organization, Southern California Edison, and
Los Angeles County Department of Public Works. Attached is a copy of the proposed
Amendment.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The Professional Services Agreement with SunWest Engineering Constructors, Inc. is
not considered a project as defined by California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”)
Section 15378; as a service contract of this nature is considered ministerial. FISCAL IMPACT
The total contract extension cost will be set at a not-to-exceed amount of $21,506.85.
Sufficient funds are budgeted in the Fiscal Year 2017-18 Operating Budget from each Department’s budget for fuel management and extraordinary repair services. All work performed is on a time and material basis and the contractor is only paid for work
performed.
RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council approve, and authorize and direct the City
Manager to execute a one year contract extension with SunWest Engineering
Constructors, Inc. for the City’s fuel management and extraordinary repair services in
