REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Grant Yates, City Manager
Prepared by: Catherine Eakins — Public Works Administration Assistant
Date: May 26, 2020
Subject: Award of Contract for City Hall Roof Replacement Projects to
J & L Constructors, Inc. - CIP # Z20005 - Building Facilities Renovations
Recommendation
Approve and Authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with J & L Constructors, Inc.
in the amount of $79,716, plus a 10% contingency adjustment for quantities installed, in the form
attached and in such final form as approved by the City Attorney.
Background
City Hall roof was last replaced in 2013. Since then the roof has leaked in various areas of the
building every time it rains. City staff has made minor repairs wherever necessary, but despite
staff's efforts, water continues to leak inside the building. The roofing material and joints are
cracking and showing signs of aging. As the warranty is expired, staff is recommending a
complete roof replacement.
Discussion
The City contracts out for roof replacements and leak repairs to prevent water and rain damage
at various City facilities. In January 2020, the City solicited proposal for such services. After
reviewing the three proposals received, staff recommends the award of contract goes to
J & L Constructors, Inc., based upon their price quote for this project. Request for Quote sent to

materials and performing all work required for the Project, and to fulfill all other obligations as set
forth in the Bidder's Proposal, such contract price being Seventy Nine Thousand Seven
Hundred Sixteen dollars ($79,716).
b. City hereby promises and agrees to employ, and does hereby employ,
Contractor to provide the materials, do the work, and fulfill the obligations according to the terms
and conditions herein contained and referred to, for the prices set forth, and hereby contracts to
pay the same at the time, in the manner, and upon the conditions set forth in the Project
Documents.
C. Contractor agrees to receive and accept the prices set forth in the Bidder's
Proposal as full compensation for furnishing all materials, performing all work, and fulfilling
all obligations hereunder. Such compensation shall cover all expenses, losses, damages, and
consequences arising out of the nature of work during its progress or prior to its acceptance
including those for well and faithfully completing the work and the whole thereof in the manner
and time specified in the Project Documents; and also including those arising from actions of the
elements, unforeseen difficulties or obstructions encountered in the prosecution of the work,
suspension or discontinuance of the work, and all other unknowns or risks of any description
connected with the work.
3. Completion of Work.
a. Contractor shall perform and complete all work within Forty -five (45)
working days from the date of commencement specified in the Notice to Proceed, and shall
provide, furnish and pay for all the labor, materials, necessary tools, expendable

b. All work shall be performed and completed in a good workmanlike manner
in strict accordance with the drawings, specifications and all provisions of this Agreement as
hereinabove defined and in accordance with applicable laws, codes, regulations, ordinances and
any other legal requirements governing the Project.
C. Contractor shall not be excused with respect to the failure to so comply by
any act or omission of the City, the City Engineer, a City inspector, or a representative of any of
them, unless such act or omission actually prevents the Contractor from fully complying with the
requirements of the Project Documents, and unless the Contractor protests at the time of such
alleged prevention that the act or omission is preventing the Contractor from fully complying
with the Project Documents. Such protest shall not be effective unless reduced to writing and
filed with the City within three (3) working days of the date of occurrence of the act or omission
preventing the Contractor from fully complying with the Project Documents.
d. City and Contractor recognize that time is of the essence in the
performance of this Agreement and further agree that if the work called for under the Agreement
is not completed within the time hereinabove specified, damages will be sustained by the City
and that, it is and will be impracticable or extremely difficult to ascertain and determine the
actual amount of damages the City will sustain in the event of, and by reason of, such delay. It
is, therefore, agreed that such damages shall be presumed to be in the amount of Five Hundred
dollars ($500.00) per calendar day, and that the Contractor will pay to the City, or City may
retain from amounts otherwise payable to Contractor, such amount for each calendar day by
which the Contractor fails to complete the work, including corrective items of work, under this
Agreement within the time hereinabove specified and as adjusted by any changes to the work.
4. Changes to Work. City and Contractor agree that the City may make changes to
the work, or suspend the work, and no matter how many changes, such changes or
suspensions are within the contemplation of the Contractor and City and will not be a basis for a
compensable delay claim against the City nor be the basis for a liquidated damage claim
against the Contractor.
Any change to the work shall be by way of a written instrument ( "change order ") signed
by the City and the Contractor, stating their agreement to the following:
a. The scope of the change in the work;
b. The amount of the adjustment to the contract price; and
c. The extent of the adjustment to the Schedule of Performance.
The City Engineer is authorized to sign any change order provided that sufficient
contingency funds are available in the City's approved budget for the Project. All change in
the work authorized by the change order shall be performed under the applicable conditions
of the Project Documents. City and Contractor shall negotiate in good faith and as expeditiously
as possible the appropriate adjustments for such changes.
5. Bonds. Contractor shall provide, before commencing work, a Faithful Performance
Bond and a Labor and Material Bond, each for one - hundred percent (100°/x) of the contract price
in the form that complies with the Project Documents and is satisfactory to the City Attorney.
6. Non - Assignability. Neither this Agreement nor any rights, title, interest, duties or
obligations under this Agreement may be assigned, transferred, conveyed or otherwise
disposed of by Contractor without the prior written consent of City.
7. Licenses. Contractor represents and warrants to City that it holds the
contractor's license or licenses set forth in the Project Documents, is registered with the
Department of Industrial Relations pursuant to Labor Code Section 1725.5, and holds such
other licenses, permits, qualifications, insurance and approvals of whatsoever nature which are
legally required of Contractor. Contractor represents and warrants to City that Contractor shall,
at its sole cost and expense, keep in effect or obtain at all times during the term of this
Agreement, any licenses, permits, insurance and approvals which are legally required of
Contractor to practice its profession. Contractor shall maintain a City of Lake Elsinore business
license.
8. Indemnity. Contractor shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the City and its
officials, officers, employees, agents, the County and Board Supervisors, and volunteers from
and against any and all losses, liability, claims, suits, actions, damages, and causes of action
arising out of any personal injury, bodily injury, loss of life, or damage to property, or any
violation of any federal, state, or municipal law or ordinance, to the extent caused, in whole or
in part, by the willful misconduct or negligent acts or omissions of Contractor or its employees,
subcontractors, or agents, by acts for which they could be held strictly liable, or by the quality
or character of their work. The foregoing obligation of Contractor shall not apply when (1) the
injury, loss of life, damage to property, or violation of law arises from the sole negligence or
willful misconduct of the City or its officers, employees, agents, or volunteers and (2) the actions
of Contractor or its employees, subcontractor, or agents have contributed in no part to the
injury, loss of life, damage to property, or violation of law. It is understood that the duty of
Contractor to indemnify and hold harmless includes the duty to defend as set forth in Section
2778 of the California Civil Code. Acceptance by City of insurance certificates and
endorsements required under this Agreement does not relieve Contractor from liability under
this indemnification and hold harmless clause. This indemnification and hold harmless clause

have been determined to apply. By execution of this Agreement, Contractor acknowledges
and agrees to the provisions of this Section and that it is a material element of consideration.
