AGENDA REPORT City Manager
Finance Director/A
MEETING DATE: SEPTEMBER 4, 2018
TO: JEFFREY C. PARKER, CITY MANAGER
FROM: ELIZABETH A. BINSACK, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: AUTHORIZATION TO ADVERTISE FOR BIDS FOR THE GRAFFITI REMOVAL
PROGRAM
SUMMARY
The City's contract with Graffiti Control Systems expires on February 1, 2019. To continue
the City's contract graffiti removal program, it is necessary for the City Council to authorize
staff to advertise for contractor bids.
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council authorize and direct the Community Development Director to
advertise for contractor bids to continue implementation of the City's graffiti removal
program.
FISCAL IMPACT
The FY 2018-19 graffiti removal program is budgeted at $152,008, including $22,008 in
Federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds. Beginning FY 2019-20,
CDBG funds will not be utilized for graffiti removal. The contract is proposed as a one (1)
year contract that could be extended each year (with satisfactory contractor performance)
for a total of five (5) calendar years beginning February 2, 2019. Future funding
allocations beyond FY 2018-19 will be established through the annual City budget
process.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
Graffiti is a public nuisance that is detrimental to property values and the overall
appearance of the community. Unless the City responds with its prompt removal, graffiti
on public and private property can remain as a blight that can depreciate the value of
the victimized property as well as surrounding properties, in a manner that ultimately
stigmatizes the entire community.
For the past twenty-six (26) years, the City of Tustin's Community Development
Department has managed the City's graffiti removal program utilizing the services of a
City Council Report
Graffiti Removal Contract Request for Bid
Page 2
contractor hired to remove graffiti reported on public and private property throughout the
City at no direct cost to those victimized by graffiti. The City's current program ensures
prompt removal of reported graffiti within forty-eight (48) hours of notification. However,
the current contactor removes reported graffiti typically within twenty-four (24) hours of
notification. The Community Development Department's Code Enforcement staff
oversees the program and receives and processes reports of graffiti received from
many sources, including the Tustin Police Department, Tustin Public Works
Department, Tustin citizens, and others.
The City currently has a contract with Graffiti Control Systems to perform the
community's graffiti removal service that is due to expire on February 1, 2019. Graffiti
Control Systems was the successful bidder in 2003, 2008, and 2013. Following the
proposed City Council authorization to advertise for new bids, staff anticipates returning
to the Tustin City Council in January 2019 with a recommendation to award the new
contract beginning February 2, 2019, and covering the period 2019 through 2024.
The Community Development Department, Public Works Department and City Attorney
have worked collaboratively and reviewed the proposed bid packet documents.

The undersigned understands that the foregoing quantities are approximate only, being given as a
basis for the comparison of bids and the City of Tustin does not, expressly or by implication,
agree that the actual amount of work will correspond therewith, but reserves the right to increase
or decrease the amount of any class or portion of the work or to omit portions of the work as may
be deemed necessary or advisable and in the best interests of the City by the Community
Development Director.
In case of discrepancy between the unit price and the total amount for a contract item, the unit
price shall prevail. The basis for determining the low bid shall be by correctly multiplying the
number of units by the unit price bid to calculate a total amount for each contract item and
obtaining a total bid by correctly adding together all contract item total amounts. If a unit price
is not legible or is missing, the total amount for the contract item shall be divided by the
approximate quantity of units to arrive at the unit price bid. If both the unit price and total
amount for a contract item are left blank, then the entire bid shall be rejected.

furnish the two (2) bonds in the amounts required, with surety satisfactory to the City of Tustin,

Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays, after the date of the Notice of Award from the
Community Development Director, the City of Tustin may, at its option, determine that the
bidder has abandoned the contract, and thereupon this proposal and the acceptance thereof shall

be null and void, and the forfeiture of such security accompanying this proposal shall operate and
the same shall be the property of the City of Tustin.

of the City of Tustin, which, per City Code, states that the surety company must be duly
authorized to issue such bonds or insurance in the State California. The Certificate of Insurance

VII (seven) or better with an Admitted Insurer, or Grade A- or better and Class X (ten) or better
with a Surplus Line Broker. Workers' compensation insurance with a company of A.M. Best's
Key Rating of Grade B- or better and Class VII (seven) or better, or offered by State
Compensation Fund, is acceptable.
Contractor shall provide to the City within ten (10) working days after the date of notice of
award of contract the aforementioned insurance certificate(s) with endorsements which must
meet the requirements of the specifications and comply with the contract documents. Failure to
comply with this requirement will result in annulment of the award, forfeiture of the proposal
guarantee and City will pursue award to the next qualified responsive bidder. Contractor is

Section D — General Provisions
Section 1 - Scope & Control of Work
1.1 Consultant Evaluation & Selection Process
The City intends to award a contract to the responsible contractor whose response conforms to
the RFP and whose RFP presents the greatest value to our City, all evaluation criteria considered.
The combined weight of the evaluation criteria is greater in importance than cost in determining
the greatest value to the City. The goal is to award a contract to the contractor that offers the City
the best quality as determined by the combined weight of the evaluation criteria.
The City may award a contract of higher qualitative competence over the lowest priced
response.
The basic information that each section should contain is specified below, these specifications
should be considered as minimum requirements. Much of the material needed to present a
comprehensive proposal can be placed into one of the sections listed, however; other criteria may
be added to further support the evaluation process whenever such additional criteria are deemed
appropriate in considering the nature of the services being solicited.
The evaluation process may include a two-stage approach including an initial evaluation of the
written proposal and preliminary scoring to develop a short list of contractors that will continue
to the final stage of oral presentation and interview and reference checks. The preliminary
scoring will be based on the total points.
The Criteria for evaluating the proposals submitted will take the following items into
consideration:
Overall Proposal and Understanding of the Required Services (30%)
- Has the contractor demonstrated a thorough understanding of the purpose and scope of
services?
- Has the contractor demonstrated that it understands the deliverables and reports
(Monthly/quarterly/annual reports and data) the City expects it to provide?
Relevant Experience (40%)
Does the contractor have experience on similar size contracts?
- Does the vendor have at a minimum three (3) years' experience dealing with
municipalities?
Price Proposal (15%)
- Price Proposals will be evaluated on the basis of fee scheduling described in Table 1.
Section B, Page 9.
City of Tustin RFP — Graffiti Removal Services
341Page
Innovative and/or Creative Approaches (15%)
- Ability to providing the services that provide additional efficiencies or increased
performance capabilities.
Oral Interviews
In addition to the written proposal, the top tier contractor(s) will be asked to make an oral
presentation. The contractor should have available a principle in the company and the
contractor's proposed project manager to discuss the following:
1. The major elements of the proposal and be prepared to answer questions clarifying
the proposal details.
2. A description of similar experience the contractor has in providing the requested
services. Exhibits may also be used.
3. The proposed staffing, supervision coverage, level of training, fleet, and facility
resources identified to provide the requested services.
4. At least five (5) before and after pictures of various types of graffiti removal done by
vendor within the last three (3) calendar years.
The City reserves the right to negotiate pricing and for additional terms. City reserves the
right to begin negotiations and enter into a contract without an interview or further
discussions.

The Contract Agreement shall not be considered binding upon Agency until executed by the
Authorized Agency officials. No contract will be executed unless the bidder is licensed in
accordance with the provisions of the State Business and Professions Code.
The successful bidder, prior to award of the contract by the City, shall present his or her
contractor's pocket license or certificate of licensure and provide signed statement which swears,
under penalty of perjury, that the pocket license or certificate of licensure presented is his or
hers, is current and valid and is in a classification appropriate to the work to be undertaken.

A corporation to which an award is made may be required, before the Contract Agreement is
executed by the agency, to furnish evidence of its corporate existence, of its right to enter into
contracts in the State of California, and that the officers signing the contract and bonds for the
corporation have the authority to do so.
Failure to comply with this requirement will result in annulment of the award and thus, the City
will pursue to the next qualified responsive bidder. The contractor is advised that insurance
certificate requirements are non-negotiable and City will not consider waiving insurance
requirements. There are no exceptions.
1.3 Irregular Proposals
Unauthorized conditions, limitations, or provisions attached to a proposal will render it irregular
and may cause its rejection. The completed Proposal Forms shall be without interlineations,
alterations, or erasures. Alternative proposals will not be considered unless specifically
requested. No oral, telegraphic, or telephonic proposal, modification, or withdrawal will be
considered.
1.4 Disqualification of Bidder
In the event that any bidder acting as a prime contractor has an interest in more than one
proposal, all such proposals will be rejected, and the bidder will be disqualified. This restriction
does not apply to subcontractors or suppliers who may submit quotations to more than one
bidder, and while doing so, may also submit a formal proposal as a prime contractor.
1.5 Contract Bonds
Both the Faithful Performance Bond and the Labor and Materials Payment Bond shall each be
for not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the total contract amount. Bonds shall be of the
form attached to Section C and secured from a surety company duly authorized to issue such
bonds in the State of California and shall be subject to the approval and acceptance of the City
Council and City Attorney. The Labor and Materials Payment Bond and the Faithful
Performance Bond shall remain in force during the term of the contract.
Additionally, the contractor shall concurrently submit, with the bonds, a certified copy of the
most recent Certificate of Authority issued to the bonding company by the California Insurance
Commissioner.

discrepancies in, or omissions from, the drawings or specifications, he/she may submit to Dana

Section E - Scope of Services
PROCEDURE
The following procedures are to be followed by the City and contractor when performing Graffiti
Abatement Services:
The City shall receive initial complaints regarding any occurrence of graffiti nuisance violations.
City staff will provide the alleged locations for removal to the contractor for removal.
The Community Development Department shall notify the contractor of the location of the violation
and authorize contractor to proceed. Locations may be accessed through the TAGRS database or by
verbal or facsimile Notice to Proceed. In addition, the contractor may also identify graffiti
occurrences found in the field, provided such occurrences are formally documented through the
TAGRS database.
Authorization from the Community Development Department is required prior to the contractor's
proceeding with sandblasting or chemical removal processes.
The contractor shall remove the subject graffiti within 24 -hours of referral. The work shall be
performed in a prompt, thorough, lawful, and workman -like manner. Paint cover-up shall be
accomplished utilizing a custom color match or other method to ensure that the removal blends into
the existing background colors.
Before removing graffiti, the contractor shall photograph graffiti for documentation purposes.
All graffiti paint -over shall be done in a rectangular or square design with two (2) sides horizontal to
the ground at the minimum size needed to encompass the extreme limits of the graffiti violation.
At the end of each business day, the contractor shall email a list identifying the work completed
within the City of Tustin.
Any month, in which the contractor wishes to receive payment for Graffiti Abatement Services
which have been previously determined acceptable by City staff, the contractor must submit to the
Community Development Department an invoice for services rendered per job prior to the date of
the invoice. All submittals shall include the cost prescribed for graffiti removal based upon square
footage of removal stipulated within the contract document, measurement of which is described
herein. This invoice shall be in the form approved by the City's Director of Finance and shall be
submitted no later than the first (1st) working day of such month. The City will pay the contractor
for all services rendered on account of the contract price which are approved by the Community
Development Department pursuant to the contract no later than the last working day of said month.
Failure of the contractor to submit the required forms as stipulated herein will delay payment to the
contractor until the following billing cycle.
City of Tustin RFP — Graffiti Removal Services 46 1 P a g e
For any submittal determined to be unclear or where the graffiti removal has been determined to be
incomplete or improper, the City shall verbally notify the contractor of the inadequacy within ten
(10) working days of the determination and shall withhold payment for services until the graffiti has
been removed to the satisfaction of the City.
The City of Tustin estimates that the contractor may be called upon to perform graffiti abatement
services of approximately 4,000 jobs during the first year of the contract. It is also estimated that,
on average, graffiti to be abated will not exceed 100 square feet in size. Jobs larger than 100 square
feet (or 40 square feet for water/sandblasting or chemical removal) may be counted as multiple jobs.
In submitting the proposal and by entering into an agreement with the City to perform annual
graffiti abatement services, the selected contractor agrees to carry out all requested graffiti
abatement job assignments regardless of size during the contract period and to be reimbursed for not
more than the amount indicated herein as the "Unit Cost per Job Completed" except when
authorized by an approved change order. Services rendered which exceed the "City Estimated
Number of Jobs" stipulated by work category described herein may be billed per job at the "Cost
per Job Completed" bid amount, and will continue to be reimbursed by the City. Once the "Unit
Cost per Job Completed" amount is reached, a change order must be processed for the contractor to
be reimbursed for each additional job cost, as specified in Section D, General Provisions. The City
reserves the right to award more or less than 3,000 pieces of work for which the chosen contractor
shall be paid on a per unit basis.
SPECIFICATIONS FOR GRAFFITI REMOVAL
The method(s) of removal may vary depending upon the type of graffiti and condition of the
surface. Unless authorized otherwise by the Community Development Director or designee,
however; the contractor shall remove graffiti by painting the existing surface using a custom

the Community Development Director or designee:
- Sandblasting or other pressurized removal systems - This method of removal may be used
on surfaces such as concrete, cinder block, or brick.
- Chemical removal - This method of removal may be used on non -porous surfaces such as
granite, tile, metal, and some marble.
Materials and Equipment
The contractor shall properly prepare all stucco, masonry, metal, wood, or other exterior surfaces in
a manner that will result in an acceptable bonding of the applied paint and deter the visibility of
graffiti. The contractor shall use "Dunn Edwards" exterior acrylic flat paint (W720 Acri-Hues) or
an equivalent (as approved by the City of Tustin) in the painting of all exterior surfaces, unless
determined otherwise by the Community Development Director or designee.
City of Tustin RFP — Graffiti Removal Services 47 1 P a g e

dirt, drips, ridges, runs, and brush marks resulting from Contractor's work. When completed, the
painting shall represent a workman -like appearance.
Paint shall be applied under dry, dust -free conditions and shall not be applied when the temperature
is below 40 degrees Fahrenheit. All primer and intermediate coats of paint shall be unscarred and
completely integral as well as completely dry at the time of the application of each succeeding coat.
Deep base paints - Firm drying time average of 60 minutes, hard in 12 hours. Spreading
rate: 300 sq. ft. per gallon stucco and masonry; 350 to 450 sq. ft. per gallon on wood.

gallon.
The contractor must provide an airless spray unit (minimum 2500 p.s.i.), and such other equipment

For certain surfaces, the Community Development Director or designee may authorize that
chemical based materials be used in a manner to accomplish graffiti removal.
Manufacturer's recommendations for mixing, thinning, applying, type of exposure, surface to be
covered, and type of surface wear to which the paint will be subjected shall be explicitly followed.
The contractor must have the ability to reach difficult locations when removing graffiti. To this end
the contractor shall at all times have ladders, painting extensions on every vehicle and 24/7 access to
a bucket truck vehicle with a minimum extension height of a minimum forty (40) feet.
Public Relations
All employees of the contractor must wear clean and professional clothing in the performance of
their duties. Equipment must be clean and maintained in a safe operating manner. All equipment
shall be subject to inspection by the City. The contractor at all times must conduct service with
utmost courtesy to the public.

NPDES REQUIREMENTS (Not a Bid Item)
The Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) has issued a permit to Orange
County and incorporated cities in the Santa Ana Region to govern storm water and non -storm water
discharges resulting from construction activities. The RWQCB Permit is National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit No. CAS618030. Copies of the RWQCB Permit
are available for review from the City of Tustin Public Works Department.
The County of Orange has developed a Drainage Area Management Plan (DAMP) to comply with
the Permit requirements. The DAMP contains Best Management Practices (BMPs) that all
construction personnel must adhere to. The BMPs include pollution prevention and source control
techniques to minimize the impact of construction activities upon dry -weather urban runoff, storm
water runoff, and receiving water quality.
All work performed under this contract shall conform to the above referenced NPDES Permit, the
current edition of the DAMP, and the City of Tustin's Water Quality Ordinance. In addition, the
contractor is required to comply with all applicable local, state and federal clean water regulations,
laws, provisions, etc. in the performance of their work.
The contractor shall implement all applicable BMPs and ensure that all staff are properly trained
and understand the BMPs.
The contractor must:
• Transport paint and materials to and from job sites in containers with secure lids and tied
down to the transport vehicle.
• Not transfer or load paint near storm drain inlets or watercourses.
• Test and inspect spray equipment prior to starting to paint. Tighten all hoses and
connections and do not overfill paint container.
• Capture all clean-up water, and dispose of properly.
• Not remove graffiti during a rain event.
• Protect nearby storm drain inlets prior to removing graffiti from walls, signs, sidewalks,
or other structures needing graffiti abatement. Clean up afterwards by sweeping or
vacuuming thoroughly, and/or by using absorbent and properly disposing of the
absorbent.
• Direct runoff from sand blasting and high pressure washing (with no cleaning agents)
into a landscaped or dirt area. If such an area is not available, filter runoff through an
appropriate filtering device (e.g. filter fabric) to keep sand, particles, and debris out of
storm drains.
• Plug nearby storm drains and vacuum/pump wash water to the sanitary sewer if a graffiti
abatement method generates wash water containing a cleaning compound (such as high
pressure washing with a cleaning compound).
• Consider using a waterless and non-toxic chemical cleaning method for graffiti removal
(e.g. gels or spray compounds).
The contractor may be asked to:
City of Tustin RFP — Graffiti Removal Services

NONDISCRIMINATION
(Applicable to all Federal -aid contracts and to all related subcontracts of $10,000 or more.)
Equal Employment Opportunity: Equal employment opportunity (EEO) requirements not to
discriminate and to take affirmative action to assure equal opportunity as set forth under laws,
executive orders, rules, regulations (28 CFR 35, 29 CFR 1630 and 41 CFR 60) and orders of the
Secretary of Labor as modified by the provisions prescribed herein, and imposed pursuant to 23
U.S.C. 140 shall constitute the EEO and specific affirmative action standards for the contractor's
project activities under this contract. The Equal Opportunity Construction Contract
Specifications set forth under 41 CFR 60-4.3 and the provisions of the American Disabilities Act
of 1990 (42 U.S.C. 12101 et seq.) set forth under 28 CFR 35 and 29 CFR 1630 are incorporated
by reference in this contract. In the execution of this contract, the contractor agrees to comply
with the following minimum specific requirement activities of EEO:
a) The contractor will work with the State highway agency (SHA) and the Federal
Government in carrying out EEO obligations and in their review of his/her activities
under the contract.
b) The contractor will accept as his operating policy the following statement:
"It is the policy of this Company to assure that applicants are employed, and that employees are
treated during employment, without regard to their race, religion, sex, color, national origin, age
or disability. Such action shall include: employment, upgrading, demotion, or transfer;
recruitment or recruitment advertising; layoff or termination; rates of pay or other forms of
compensation; and selection for training, including apprenticeship, preapprentice ship, and/or on-
the-job training."
EEO Officer: The contractor will designate and make known to the SHA contracting officers an
EEO Officer who will have the responsibility for and must be capable of effectively
administering and promoting an active contractor program of EEO and who must be assigned
adequate authority and responsibility to do so.
Dissemination of Policy: All members of the contractor's staff who are authorized to hire,
supervise, promote, and discharge employees, or who recommend such action, or who are
substantially involved in such action, will be made fully cognizant of, and will implement, the
contractor's EEO policy and contractual responsibilities to provide EEO in each grade and
classification of employment. To ensure that the above agreement will be met, the following
actions will be taken as a minimum:
a) Periodic meetings of supervisory and personnel office employees will be conducted
before the start of work and then not less often than once every six months, at which time
the contractor's EEO policy and its implementation will be reviewed and explained. The
meetings will be conducted by the EEO Officer.
b) All new supervisory or personnel office employees will be given a thorough
indoctrination by the EEO Officer, covering all major aspects of the contractor's EEO
obligations within thirty days following their reporting for duty with the contractor.

c) All personnel who are engaged in direct recruitment for the project will be instructed by
the EEO Officer in the contractor's procedures for locating and hiring minority group
employees.

readily accessible to employees, applicants for employment and potential employees.
e) The contractor's EEO policy and the procedures to implement such policy will be brought
to the attention of employees by means of meetings, employee handbooks, or other
appropriate means.
Recruitment: When advertising for employees, the contractor will include in all advertisements
for employees the notation: "An Equal Opportunity Employer." All such advertisements will be
placed in publications having a large circulation among minority groups in the area from which
the project work force would normally be derived.
a) The contractor will, unless precluded by a valid bargaining agreement, conduct
systematic and direct recruitment through public and private employee referral sources
likely to yield qualified minority group applicants. To meet this requirement, the
contractor will identify sources of potential minority group employees, and establish with
such identified sources procedures whereby minority group applicants may be referred to
the contractor for employment consideration.
b) In the event the contractor has a valid bargaining agreement providing for exclusive
hiring hall referrals, he is expected to observe the provisions of that agreement to the
extent that the system permits the contractor's compliance with EEO contract provisions.
(The DOL has held that where implementation of such agreements have the effect of
discriminating against minorities or women, or obligates the contractor to do the same,
such implementation violates Executive Order 11246, as amended.)
c) The contractor will encourage his present employees to refer minority group applicants
for employment. Information and procedures with regard to referring minority group
applicants will be discussed with employees.
Personnel Actions: Wages, working conditions, and employee benefits shall be established and
administered, and personnel actions of every type, including hiring, upgrading, promotion,
transfer, demotion, layoff, and termination, shall be taken without regard to race, color, religion,
sex, national origin, age or disability. The following procedures shall be followed:
a) The contractor will conduct periodic inspections of project sites to insure that working
conditions and employee facilities do not indicate discriminatory treatment of project site
personnel.
b) The contractor will periodically evaluate the spread of wages paid within each
classification to determine any evidence of discriminatory wage practices.
c) The contractor will periodically review selected personnel actions in depth to determine
whether there is evidence of discrimination. Where evidence is found, the contractor will
promptly take corrective action. If the review indicates that the discrimination may
extend beyond the actions reviewed, such corrective action shall include all affected
persons.
City of Tustin RFP — Graffiti Removal Services 55 I P a g e
d) The contractor will promptly investigate all complaints of alleged discrimination made to
the contractor in connection with his obligations under this contract, will attempt to
resolve such complaints, and will take appropriate corrective action within a reasonable
time. If the investigation indicates that the discrimination may affect persons other than
the complainant, such corrective action shall include such other persons. Upon
completion of each investigation, the contractor will inform every complainant of all of
his avenues of appeal.
Training and Promotion:
a) The contractor will assist in locating, qualifying, and increasing the skills of minority
group and women employees, and applicants for employment.
b) Consistent with the contractor's work force requirements and as permissible under
Federal and State regulations, the contractor shall make full use of training programs, i.e.,
apprenticeship, and on-the-job training programs for the geographical area of contract
performance. Where feasible, 25 percent of apprentices or trainees in each occupation
shall be in their first year of apprenticeship or training. In the event a special provision
for training is provided under this contract, this subparagraph will be superseded as
indicated in the special provision.
c) The contractor will advise employees and applicants for employment of available training
programs and entrance requirements for each.
d) The contractor will periodically review the training and promotion potential of minority
group and women employees and will encourage eligible employees to apply for such
training and promotion.
Unions: If the contractor relies in whole or in part upon unions as a source of employees, the
contractor will use his/her best efforts to obtain the cooperation of such unions to increase
opportunities for minority groups and women within the unions, and to effect referrals by such
unions of minority and female employees. Actions by the contractor either directly or through a
contractor's association acting as agent will include the procedures set forth below:
a) The contractor will use best efforts to develop, in cooperation with the unions, joint
training programs aimed toward qualifying more minority group members and women
for membership in the unions and increasing the skills of minority group employees and
women so that they may qualify for higher paying employment.
b) The contractor will use best efforts to incorporate an EEO clause into each union
agreement to the end that such union will be contractually bound to refer applicants
without regard to their race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age or disability.
c) The contractor is to obtain information as to the referral practices and policies of the
labor union except that to the extent such information is within the exclusive possession
of the labor union and such labor union refuses to furnish such information to the
contractor, the contractor shall so certify to the SHA and shall set forth what efforts have
been made to obtain such information.
d) In the event the union is unable to provide the contractor with a reasonable flow of
minority and women referrals within the time limit set forth in the collective bargaining
agreement, the contractor will, through independent recruitment efforts, fill the
City of Tustin RFP — Graffiti Removal Services 56 1 P a g e
employment vacancies without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age or
disability; making full efforts to obtain qualified and/or qualifiable minority group
persons and women. (The DOL has held that it shall be no excuse that the union with
which the contractor has a collective bargaining agreement providing for exclusive
referral failed to refer minority employees.) In the event the union referral practice
prevents the contractor from meeting the obligations pursuant to Executive Order 11246,
as amended, and these special provisions, such contractor shall immediately notify the
SHA.
Selection of Subcontractors, Procurement of Materials and Leasing of Equipment: The
contractor shall not discriminate on the grounds of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age
or disability in the selection and retention of subcontractors, including procurement of materials
and leases of equipment.
a) The contractor shall notify all potential subcontractors and suppliers of his/her EEO
obligations under this contract.
b) Disadvantaged business enterprises (DBE), as defined in 49 CFR 23, shall have equal
opportunity to compete for and perform subcontracts which the contractor enters into
pursuant to this contract. The contractor will use his best efforts to solicit bids from and
to utilize DBE subcontractors or subcontractors with meaningful minority group and

NONSEGREGATED FACILITIES
(Applicable to all Federal -aid construction contracts and to all related subcontracts of $10,000 or
more.)
b) By submission of this bid, the execution of this contract or subcontract, or the
consummation of this material supply agreement or purchase order, as appropriate, the
bidder, Federal -aid construction contractor, subcontractor, material supplier, or vendor, as
appropriate, certifies that the firm does not maintain or provide for its employees any
segregated facilities at any of its establishments, and that the firm does not permit its
employees to perform their services at any location, under its control, where segregated

proposed subcontractors or material suppliers prior to award of subcontracts or
consummation of material supply agreements of $10,000 or more and that it will retain
such certifications in its files.
PAYMENT OF PREDETERMINED MINIMUM WAGE
(Applicable to all Federal -aid construction contracts exceeding $2,000 and to all related
subcontracts, except for projects located on roadways classified as local roads or rural minor
collectors, which are exempt.)
General:
a) All mechanics and laborers employed or working upon the site of the work will be paid
unconditionally and not less often than once a week and without subsequent deduction or
rebate on any account [except such payroll deductions as are permitted by regulations (29
CFR 3) issued by the Secretary of Labor under the Copeland Act (40 U.S.C. 276c)] the
full amounts of wages and bona fide fringe benefits (or cash equivalents thereof) due at
time of payment. The payment shall be computed at wage rates not less than those
contained in the wage determination of the Secretary of Labor (hereinafter "the wage
determination") which is attached hereto and made a part hereof, regardless of any
contractual relationship which may be alleged to exist between the contractor or its
subcontractors and such laborers and mechanics. The wage determination (including any
additional classifications and wage rates conformed under paragraph 2 of this Section IV
and the DOL poster (WH -1321) or Form FHWA-1495) shall be posted at all times by the
City of Tustin RFP — Graffiti Removal Services 58 1 P a g e
contractor and its subcontractors at the site of the work in a prominent and accessible
place where it can be easily seen by the workers. For the purpose of this Section,
contributions made or costs reasonably anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits under
Section l(b)(2) of the Davis -Bacon Act (40 U.S.C. 276a) on behalf of laborers or
mechanics are considered wages paid to such laborers or mechanics, subject to the
provisions of Section IV, paragraph 3b, hereof. Also, for the purpose of this Section,
regular contributions made or costs incurred for more than a weekly period (but not less
often than quarterly) under plans, funds, or programs, which cover the particular weekly
period, are deemed to be constructively made or incurred during such weekly period.
Such laborers and mechanics shall be paid the appropriate wage rate and fringe benefits
on the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed, without
regard to skill, except as provided in paragraphs 4 and 5 of this Section IV.
b) Laborers or mechanics performing work in more than one classification may be
compensated at the rate specified for each classification for the time actually worked
therein, provided, that the employer's payroll records accurately set forth the time spent in
each classification in which work is performed.
c) All rulings and interpretations of the Davis -Bacon Act and related acts contained in 29
CFR 1, 3, and 5 are herein incorporated by reference in this contract.
Classification:
a) The SHA contracting officer shall require that any class of laborers or mechanics
employed under the contract, which is not listed in the wage determination, shall be
classified in conformance with the wage determination.
b) The contracting officer shall approve an additional classification, wage rate and fringe
benefits only when the following criteria have been met:
a. the work to be performed by the additional classification requested is not
performed by a classification in the wage determination;
b. the additional classification is utilized in the area by the construction industry;
c. the proposed wage rate, including any bona fide fringe benefits, bears a
reasonable relationship to the wage rates contained in the wage determination;
and
d. with respect to helpers, when such a classification prevails in the area in which
the work is performed.
c) If the contractor or subcontractors, as appropriate, the laborers and mechanics (if known)
to be employed in the additional classification or their representatives, and the
contracting officer agree on the classification and wage rate (including the amount
designated for fringe benefits where appropriate), a report of the action taken shall be
sent by the contracting officer to the DOL, Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division,
Employment Standards Administration, Washington, D.C. 20210. The Wage and Hour
Administrator, or an authorized representative, will approve, modify, or disapprove every
additional classification action within 30 days of receipt and so advise the contracting
officer or will notify the contracting officer within the 30 -day period that additional time
is necessary.
d) In the event the contractor or subcontractors, as appropriate, the laborers or mechanics to
be employed in the additional classification or their representatives, and the contracting
City of Tustin RFP — Graffiti Removal Services
591Page
officer do not agree on the proposed classification and wage rate (including the amount
designated for fringe benefits, where appropriate), the contracting officer shall refer the
questions, including the views of all interested parties and the recommendation of the
contracting officer, to the Wage and Hour Administrator for determination. Said
Administrator, or an authorized representative, will issue a determination within 30 days
of receipt and so advise the contracting officer or will notify the contracting officer
within the 30 -day period that additional time is necessary
e) The wage rate (including fringe benefits where appropriate) determined pursuant to
paragraph 2c or 2d of this Section IV shall be paid to all workers performing work in the
additional classification from the first day on which work is performed in the
classification.
Payment of Fringe Benefits:
a) Whenever the minimum wage rate prescribed in the contract for a class of laborers or
mechanics includes a fringe benefit which is not expressed as an hourly rate, the
contractor or subcontractors, as appropriate, shall either pay the benefit as stated in the
wage determination or shall pay another bona fide fringe benefit or an hourly case
equivalent thereof.
b) If the contractor or subcontractor, as appropriate, does not make payments to a trustee or
other third person, he/she may consider as a part of the wages of any laborer or mechanic
the amount of any costs reasonably anticipated in providing bona fide fringe benefits
under a plan or program, provided, that the Secretary of Labor has found, upon the
written request of the contractor, that the applicable standards of the Davis -Bacon Act
have been met. The Secretary of Labor may require the contractor to set aside in a
separate account asset for the meeting of obligations under the plan or program.
Apprentices and Trainees (Programs of the U.S. DOL) and Helpers:
a) Apprentices: Apprentices will be permitted to work at less than the predetermined rate for
the work they performed when they are employed pursuant to and individually registered
in a bona fide apprenticeship program registered with the DOL, Employment and
Training Administration, Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training, or with a State
apprenticeship agency recognized by the Bureau, or if a person is employed in his/her
first 90 days of probationary employment as an apprentice in such an apprenticeship
program, who is not individually registered in the program, but who has been certified by
the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training or a State apprenticeship agency (where
appropriate) to be eligible for probationary employment as an apprentice.
b) The allowable ratio of apprentices to journeyman -level employees on the job site in any
craft classification shall not be greater than the ratio permitted to the contractor as to the
entire work force under the registered program. Any employee listed on a payroll at an
apprentice wage rate, who is not registered or otherwise employed as stated above, shall
be paid not less than the applicable wage rate listed in the wage determination for the
classification of work actually performed. In addition, any apprentice performing work
on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the registered program shall be paid
not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work actually
City of Tustin RFP — Graffiti Removal Services
601Page
performed. Where a contractor or subcontractor is performing construction on a project in
a locality other than that in which its program is registered, the ratios and wage rates
(expressed in percentages of the journeyman -level hourly rate) specified in the
contractor's or subcontractor's registered program shall be observed.
c) Every apprentice must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the registered program
for the apprentice's level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the journeyman -level
hourly rate specified in the applicable wage determination. Apprentices shall be paid
fringe benefits in accordance with the provisions of the apprenticeship program. If the
apprenticeship program does not specify fringe benefits, apprentices must be paid the full
amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage determination for the applicable
classification. If the Administrator for the Wage and Hour Division determines that a
different practice prevails for the applicable apprentice classification, fringes shall be
paid in accordance with that determination.
d) In the event the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training, or a State apprenticeship agency
recognized by the Bureau, withdraws approval of an apprenticeship program, the
contractor or subcontractor will no longer be permitted to utilize apprentices at less than
the applicable predetermined rate for the comparable work performed by regular
employees until an acceptable program is approved.
e) Trainees: Except as provided in 29 CFR 5.16, trainees will not be permitted to work at
less than the predetermined rate for the work performed unless they are employed
pursuant to and individually registered in a program which has received prior approval,
evidenced by formal certification by the DOL, Employment and Training Administration.
f) The ratio of trainees to journeyman -level employees on the job site shall not be greater
than permitted under the plan approved by the Employment and Training Administration.
Any employee listed on the payroll at a trainee rate who is not registered and
participating in a training plan approved by the Employment and Training Administration
shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the
classification of work actually performed. In addition, any trainee performing work on
the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the registered program shall be paid not
less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work actually
performed.
g) Every trainee must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the approved program for
his/her level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the journeyman -level hourly rate
specified in the applicable wage determination. Trainees shall be paid fringe benefits in
accordance with the provisions of the trainee program. If the trainee program does not
mention fringe benefits, trainees shall be paid the full amount of fringe benefits listed on
the wage determination unless the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division
determines that there is an apprenticeship program associated with the corresponding
journeyman -level wage rate on the wage determination which provides for less than full
fringe benefits for apprentices, in which case such trainees shall receive the same fringe
benefits as apprentices.
h) In the event the Employment and Training Administration withdraws approval of a
training program, the contractor or subcontractor will no longer be permitted to utilize
trainees at less than the applicable predetermined rate for the work performed until an
acceptable program is approved.

i) Helpers: Helpers will be permitted to work on a project if the helper classification is
specified and defined on the applicable wage determination or is approved pursuant to the
conformance procedure set forth in Section IV.2. Any worker listed on a payroll at a
helper wage rate, who is not a helper under a approved definition, shall be paid not less
than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the classification of work
actually performed.
Apprentices and Trainees (Programs of the U.S. DOT):
Apprentices and trainees working under apprenticeship and skill training programs which have
been certified by the Secretary of Transportation as promoting EEO in connection with Federal -
aid highway construction programs are not subject to the requirements of paragraph 4 of this
Section IV. The straight time hourly wage rates for apprentices and trainees under such programs
will be established by the particular programs. The ratio of apprentices and trainees to
journeymen shall not be greater than permitted by the terms of the particular program.
Withholding:
The SHA shall upon its own action or upon written request of an authorized representative of the
DOL withhold, or cause to be withheld, from the contractor or subcontractor under this contract
or any other Federal contract with the same prime contractor, or any other Federally -assisted
contract subject to Davis -Bacon prevailing wage requirements which is held by the same prime
contractor, as much of the accrued payments or advances as may be considered necessary to pay
laborers and mechanics, including apprentices, trainees, and helpers, employed by the contractor
or any subcontractor the full amount of wages required by the contract. In the event of failure to
pay any laborer or mechanic, including any apprentice, trainee, or helper, employed or working
on the site of the work, all or part of the wages required by the contract, the SHA contracting
officer may, after written notice to the contractor, take such action as may be necessary to cause
the suspension of any further payment, advance, or guarantee of funds until such violations have
ceased.
Overtime Requirements:
No contractor or subcontractor contracting for any part of the contract work which may require
or involve the employment of laborers, mechanics, watchmen, or guards (including apprentices,
trainees, and helpers described in paragraphs 4 and 5 above) shall require or permit any laborer,
mechanic, watchman, or guard in any workweek in which he/she is employed on such work, to
work in excess of 40 hours in such workweek unless such laborer, mechanic, watchman, or guard
receives compensation at a rate not less than one -and -one-half times his/her basic rate of pay for
all hours worked in excess of 40 hours in such workweek.
Violation:
Liability for Unpaid Wages; Liquidated Damages: In the event of any violation of the clause set
forth in paragraph 7 above, the contractor and any subcontractor responsible thereof shall be
liable to the affected employee for his/her unpaid wages. In addition, such contractor and
subcontractor shall be liable to the United States (in the case of work done under contract for the
City of Tustin RFP — Graffiti Removal Services 62 1 P a g e
District of Columbia or a territory, to such District or to such territory) for liquidated damages.
Such liquidated damages shall be computed with respect to each individual laborer, mechanic,
watchman, or guard employed in violation of the clause set forth in paragraph 7, in the sum of
$10 for each calendar day on which such employee was required or permitted to work in excess
of the standard work week of 40 hours without payment of the overtime wages required by the
clause set forth in paragraph 7.
Withholding for Unpaid Wages and Liquidated Damages:
The SHA shall upon its own action or upon written request of any authorized representative of
the DOL withhold, or cause to be withheld, from any monies payable on account of work
performed by the contractor or subcontractor under any such contract or any other Federal
contract with the same prime contractor, or any other Federally -assisted contract subject to the
Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act, which is held by the same prime contractor,
such sums as may be determined to be necessary to satisfy any liabilities of such contractor or
subcontractor for unpaid wages and liquidated damages as provided in the clause set forth in
paragraph 8 above.
