Property maintenance (i.e. weed control/abatement, litter collection) must continue to be performed to protect existing grading and fill sites that have been created for certain Tustin Legacy infrastructure improvements such as Tustin Ranch Road, Warner Avenue, Armstrong Avenue, Moffett Drive and proposed future pedestrian bridges. Fire prevention, access control to the property, maintenance of security fencing and gates and maintenance of Hangar 2 are also critical aspects of the property maintenance contract. The City, acting in its role as Executive Developer for Tustin Legacy, will continue to maintain the property until it is developed and/or transferred to other parties. So Cal Sandbags Inc has been successfully performing this contract role for the City since 2011. Contract History From 2012-2016, a series of annual contract amendments to the CSA with So Cal Sandbags Inc were recommended to the City Council for approval that primarily adjusted the not to exceed contract amount based on changing property acreage. In 2016, the City initiated a Request for Proposals (RFP) process to determine if the market for property management and caretaker services had changed since the CSA was first executed. The City Council then authorized the City Manager to execute amendments to the CSA with So Cal Sandbags Inc as long as the total compensation did not exceed $400,000 per Fiscal Year. From 2016-2021, the total annual contract amount continued to decrease and remained below $400,000. In 2021, the City Council approved Amendment No. Inc after the City voluntarily accepted property additional 77 acres of Reuse Parcel 18. Amendrr exceed amount of the CSA to $415,000 due to the City Council approval was required due to the $400,000. 12 to the CSA with So Cal Sandbags, management responsibility for an ant No 12 thus increased the not to increased acreage to be maintained. not to exceed amount surpassing The City issued a new RFP in March 2022 to again test the market to determine pricing for property management and caretaker services since the last RFP process was released in 2016. So Cal Sandbags Inc was selected to continue to provide property management services at Tustin Legacy and this was executed by a 13t" amendment to the existing CSA. DISCUSSION As Amendment No. 14 exceeds the $400,000 limit established by City Council in 2016, this proposed Amendment 14 requires City Council approval (Amendment 14 included as Attachment 1). Future amendments will see overall acreage and fees diminish over time DocuSign Envelope ID: C4132333-6D58-4518-A322-B70AAF2BOE8F Agenda Report — Amendment No. 14 to CSA with So Cal Sandbags Inc June 20, 2023 Page 3 as infrastructure projects are completed and property is conveyed to others. If any future amendment is below the $400,000 threshold, the City Manager will have the authority to execute. The City Manager also has the authority to re -bid the contract at any time. So Cal Sandbags Inc. has performed its maintenance and caretaker services at a very high level and has continued to protect the City's interests at Tustin Legacy. The cost proposed for the scope of services are reasonable and consistent with market prices, and therefore Amendment No. 14 is recommended for approval.

Section 2.1: ("Compensation") of the Original Agreement is hereby amended to read: "2.1 Compensation. For the services rendered pursuant to this Agreement, Consultant shall be compensated and reimbursed consistent with the specific cost line items and requirements for operating costs, as more fully set forth in Exhibit C and which is incorporated herein by reference as though fully set forth herein, and which shall not in any event exceed a total compensation amount for a twelve month period of Five Hundred Twenty -Eight Thousand dollars ($528, 000). The monthly operating cost for the provision of caretaker/property management services shall also not exceed the amounts as set forth in Exhibit C. The "Not to Exceed Monthly Amount" is based on the estimated average for the year. Because of the seasonal nature of maintaining the site particularly due to rainfall, the "Not to Exceed Monthly Compensation Amount" in the dry months may not be reached. In "wet" months the effort to maintain the site by the Consultant may also result in the Consultant needing to apply additional resources and hours which would typically exceed the "Not to Exceed Monthly Compensation Amount". To recognize this variation of seasonal response, time and materials that do not get billed up to the "Not To Exceed Monthly Compensation Amount" in any one month (the "Monthly Surplus') as shown in Exhibit C may be applied, if determined and warranted by the City, to a subsequent month during the annual term of this Agreement based on a time and materials basis only. However, in no case shall the maximum "Not to Exceed Compensation Amount" for the year be exceeded. " 2. Exhibit "A" ("Service Area Map") of the Original Agreement is hereby replaced with the Service Area Map attached hereto as Exhibit "A". 3. Except as amended herein, all other terms and conditions of the Original Agreement and all the attachments and exhibits thereto shall remain in full force and effect and are not modified by this Amendment No. 14.
