BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:
With the passage of Senate Bill 743 (SB-743), the State of California created a
new approach to assessing the environmental impact by prohibiting currently
used measures of vehicle delay and congestion analysis as part of California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) analysis. The Office of Planning and
Research (OPR) was directed to develop new metrics to determine potential
significant transportation impacts that aligned with the State’s goals for reducing
greenhouse gas emissions.
Through a Technical Advisory Committee, OPR proposed new measures of
vehicle-miles-traveled (VMT) assessed by a per capita index of residents and
employees. These recommendations were codified by the Natural Resources
Agency under new CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.3, along with OPR’s updates
to Appendix G of the CEQA. Local agencies, such as the City, will be required to
conform to the updated guidelines by July 1, 2020.
The shift from congestion-based metrics to a VMT-based metric changes both
the tools and outcomes of CEQA transportation analysis. The most
consequential change in the analysis is the shift from congestion impacts closest
to the project site to VMT impacts from trips made the farthest from the project
site. Implementation of the new VMT metric for CEQA transportation analysis is
left to agencies to interpret based on their local conditions in an effort to develop
their own methodologies and tools for analysis. Iteris, Inc., (Iteris) has an existing
On-Call Professional Services Agreement with the City, dated July 22, 2019
(“Agreement”).
Iteris submitted a proposal to the City under the Agreement to update the City’s
Traffic Impact Study Guidelines that are currently being used to measure traffic
impacts to reflect the SB-743 requirements. The recommended expenditure
authorization under Iteris’ Agreement is in a not-to-exceed amount of $35,897.
The proposed costs of services were found to be comparable with the current
market for a similar scope of work.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
Staff has determined that the proposed resolution is not subject to the California
Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), Pub. Res. Code § 21000 et seq., pursuant
to Section 15061(b)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines because the proposed
resolution falls under the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects that
have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment, and it can
be seen with certainty that the authorization of expenditures will not have a
significant effect on the environment. The proposed resolution merely authorizes
expenditures for preparation of updated Traffic Impact Study Guidelines to
evaluate potential traffic impacts in a manner consistent with state law. The
resolution is also exempt under Section 15308 of the CEQA Guidelines which
applies to actions taken by regulatory agencies to assure the protection of the
environment, because the resolution merely authorizes expenditures for the
development of guidelines for the protection of the environment.
LEGAL ANALYSIS:
The City Attorney has approved the resolution as to form.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Sufficient funds have been allocated in the approved FY 2019-2020 Street
Maintenance Account (001-044-44000) for the Project.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
This item is not applicable to the Strategic Plan.
MEASURE BB:
This item is not applicable to Measure BB, the Seal Beach Neighborhood and
Essential Services Protection Measure.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council adopt Resolution 7014 authorizing the City Manager to
approve expenditures in the not-to-exceed amount of $35,897 to Iteris, Inc., for
updating the City’s Traffic Impact Study Guidelines pursuant to an On-Call
Professional Services Agreement dated July 22, 2019.

________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
That the City Council adopt Resolution 7015:
1. Approving plans and specifications for the FY 2019-2020 Annual Local
Paving project, CIP ST2002; and,
2. Awarding to and authorizing the City Manager to execute a construction
contract with Hardy & Harper, Inc., in the amount of $311,000, and
rejecting all other bids; and,
3. Authorizing the City Manager to approve contract changes in a not-to-
exceed amount of $46,650; and,
4. Authorizing the City Manager to approve payments for inspection and
testing services in a not-to-exceed amount of $18,000; and,
5. Approving re-allocation of Capital Improvement Program funds in the
amount of $12,000 from ST2001 project savings to ST2002 within
Fund 039 SB1 Program.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:
The City’s annual local paving project is budgeted in the FY 2019-2020 Capital
Improvement Program to improve roadway conditions within the City. The work
will generally include grinding the existing pavement and installing an asphalt
overlay to extend the roadways’ serviceable life. The selected streets were
identified in the 2018 Pavement Management Program. The streets include:
1. Daisy Street – Almond Avenue to Birchwood Avenue
2. Violet Street – Elder Avenue to Fir Avenue
3. Oleander Street – Almond Avenue to Fir Avenue
7
1
5
4. Fir Avenue – Rose Street to Heather Street
5. Main Street - Pacific Coast Highway to Central Avenue
Additionally, the westerly side of the Welcome Lane at 1st Street intersection will
be reconstructed to meet ADA requirements.
On March 3, 2020, the City Clerk’s office received seven (7) bids with the
following results:
Rank Contractor Total Base Bid
Low Hardy & Harper, Inc.$ 311,000.00
2 All American Asphalt $ 349,954.00
3 The R.J. Noble Company $ 361,846.35
4 Sequel Contractors, Inc.$ 366,358.00
5 Palp, Inc. Excel Paving $ 369,559.00
6 Shawnan $ 435,710.00
7 Onyx Paving Company $ 515,000.00
Based upon the references, qualifications, work experience and cost, staff
recommends selecting Hardy & Harper, Inc., as the lowest responsible bidder at
$311,000. The project plans are available in the City Engineer’s office.
Construction is estimated to start in Spring 2020, and is estimated to be
completed within 35 working days following the Notice to Proceed.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
This project complies with all requirements of the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) and is determined to be a Class 1 (Existing Facilities)
Categorically Exemption pursuant to Section 15301 (c) of the CEQA Guidelines.
LEGAL ANALYSIS:
The City Attorney has reviewed the agreement and approved the resolution as to
form.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The FY 2019-2020 Capital Improvement Program Budget allocated $400,000
towards ST2002 Annual Local Paving Project. Given favorable construction unit
costs, staff recommends approving a contingency amount of $46,650 (15%) to
address additional pavement deficiencies within the project limits. This enhanced
contingency will require re-allocating $12,000 from the ST2001 Annual Slurry
Seal Program project savings.

Such amount is hereby agreed upon as liquidated damages for the loss to the City
resulting from the failure of the Contractor to complete the Project within the allotted
time and to the value of the operation of the works dependent thereon. It is expressly
understood and agreed that this amount is a reasonable amount and is established in

amount is not to be considered in the nature of a penalty. The City shall have the right
to deduct such damages from any amount due, or that may become due to the
Contractor, or the amount of such damages shall be due and collectible from the
Contractor or the Contractor’s Surety. Progress payments made after the scheduled

ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF PENAL AND CIVIL PENALTIES CONCERNING
CONTRACTOR LICENSING LAWS
STATEMENT ACKNOWLEDGING PENAL AND CIVIL PENALTIES CONCERNING
THE CONTRACTORS' LICENSING LAWS
[Business & Professions Code § 7028.15]
[Public Contract Code § 20103.5]
I, the undersigned, certify that I am aware of the following provisions of California law and that I, or the
entity on whose behalf this certification is given, hold a currently valid California contractor's license as set
forth below (required at time of award):
Business & Professions Code § 7028.15:
(a) It is a misdemeanor for any person to submit a bid to a public agency in order to engage in the
business or act in the capacity of a contractor within this state without having a license therefore, except
in any of the following cases:
(1) The person is particularly exempted from this chapter.
(2) The bid is submitted on a state project governed by Section 10164 of the Public
Contract Code or on any local agency project governed by Section 20104 [now §
20103.5] of the Public Contract Code.
(b) If a person has been previously convicted of the offense described in this section, the court
shall impose a fine of 20 percent of the price of the contract under which the unlicensed person
performed contracting work, or four thousand five hundred dollars ($4,500), whichever is greater, or
imprisonment in the county jail for not less than 10 days nor more than six months, or both.
In the event the person performing the contracting work has agreed to furnish materials and labor
on an hourly basis, “the price of the contract” for the purposes of this subdivision means the aggre gate
sum of the cost of materials and labor furnished and the cost of completing the work to be performed.
(c) This section shall not apply to a joint venture license, as required by Section 7029.1.
However, at the time of making a bid as a joint venture, each person submitting the bid shall be subject to
this section with respect to his or her individual licensure.
(d) This section shall not affect the right or ability of a licensed architect, land surveyor, or
registered professional engineer to form joint ventures with licensed contractors to render services within
the scope of their respective practices.
(e) Unless one of the foregoing exceptions applies, a bid submitted to a public agency by a
contractor who is not licensed in accordance with this chapter shall be considered non-responsive and
shall be rejected by the public agency. Unless one of the foregoing exceptions applies, a local public
agency shall, before awarding a contract or issuing a purchase order, verify that the contractor was
properly licensed when the contractor submitted the bid. Notwithstanding any other provision of law,
unless one of the foregoing exceptions applies, the registrar may issue a citation to any public officer or
employee of a public entity who knowingly awards a contract or issues a purchase order to a contractor
who is not licensed pursuant to this chapter. The amount of civil penalties, appeal, and finality of such
citations shall be subject to Sections 7028.7 to 7028.13, inclusive. Any contract awarded to , or any
purchase order issued to, a contractor who is not licensed pursuant to this chapter is void.
(f) Any compliance or noncompliance with subdivision (e) of this section, as added by Chapter
863 of the Statutes of 1989, shall not invalidate any contract or bid awarded by a public agency during
which time that subdivision was in effect.
(g) A public employee or officer shall not be subject to a citation pursuant to this section if the
public employee, officer, or employing agency made an inquiry to the board for the purposes of verifying
the license status of any person or contractor and the board failed to respond to the inquiry within three
business days. For purposes of this section, a telephone response by the board shall be deemed
sufficient.
Public Contract Code § 20103.5:
In all contracts subject to this part where federal funds are involved, no bid submitted shall be invalidated
by the failure of the bidder to be licensed in accordance with the laws of this state. However, at the time
the contract is awarded, the contractor shall be properly licensed in accordance with the laws of this state.
The first payment for work or material under any contract shall not be made unless and until the Registrar
of Contractors verifies to the agency that the records of the Contractors' State License Board indicate that
the contractor was properly licensed at the time the contract was awarded. Any bidder or contractor not
so licensed shall be subject to all legal penalties imposed by law, including, but not limited to, any
appropriate disciplinary action by the Contractors' State License Board. The agency shall include a
statement to that effect in the standard form of pre-qualification questionnaire and financial statement.
Failure of the Bidder to obtain proper and adequate licensing for an
award of a contract shall constitute a failure to execute the Contract
and shall result in the forfeiture of the security of the Bidder.

limited extent that the underlying Contract is subject to Civil Code § 2782(b). This indemnity is effective
without reference to the existence or applicability of any insurance coverage which may have been
required under the Contract or any additional insured endorsements which may extend to Indemnitees.
Indemnitor, on behalf of itself and all parties claiming under or through it, hereby waives all rights of
subrogation and contribution against the Indemnitees, while acting within the scop e of their duties, from
all claims, losses and liabilities arising out of or incident to activities or operations performed by or on
behalf of the Indemnitor regardless of any prior, concurrent, or subsequent active or passive negligence
by the Indemnitees. In the event there is more than one person or entity named in the Contract as an
Indemnitor, then all obligations, liabilities, covenants and conditions under this instrument shall be joint
and several.
