RECOMMENDATIONApprove the renewal of an existing agreement with the County of Los Angeles to continue toperform weed and brush abatement services in Glendale.

BACKGROUNDIANALYSISThe City of Glendale has maintained an agreement with the County of Los Angeles for weedabatement services inside the City of Glendale since 1977. The agreement was last renewed in2012 and will expire on June 30, 2017. Under the agreement, the County, working closely withthe City, abates weeds and brush found to be a public nuisance or fire hazard. The costs of theabatement become a lien against properties that are abated. The agreement is an importantcomponent of our Vegetation Management Program that is designed to prevent brush fires.

The services provided by the County have proved to be an invaluable component of the City’soverall hazard abatement program. Vegetation found to be a public nuisance is abated by theLos Angeles County Agricultural Commissioner I Director of Weights and Measures and allcosts related to abatement are charged to the property owner.

The annual abatement process begins in December of the preceding year when theCommissioner prepares a draft Declaration List of all properties containing noxious weedsconsidered to be a public nuisance. The list is reviewed by County staff to make any necessarycorrections and have a final list prepared. Notification cards are printed in January from thedeclaration list and mailed the first Monday in February. Following City Council action declaringthe weeds a hazard and public nuisance, and a public hearing for noticed property owners, theCommissioner is empowered to abate the weeds declared a public nuisance and place the costof doing so as a lien against the property abated.

All unimproved parcels in the city are inspected annually and placed on the list if they presentan actual or potential fire hazard that is within 100 feet of a structure. This year’s notice listincludes over 600 properties. The Fire Department works with the Commissioner to identifyareas in the city that should be given priority attention for abatement. County abatementactivities follow current city clearance requirements unless directed otherwise by the FireDepartment.

The proposed agreement is renewable for successive periods not to exceed fire (5) years each.Renewal of the agreement is being considered at this time so as not to interrupt the notificationand abatement process for 2017.

FISCAL IMPACTThere are no direct costs for this program that are borne by the City of Glendale; there areminimal indirect costs related to City Staff administering the contract with the County. Theseamounts are already budgeted for and will be absorbed in the General Fund under the FirePrevention Section (101-411). The Los Angeles C ounty Agricultural Commissioner’s officeconducts all elements of the program including notification, inspection, hazard abatement andcost recovery. All costs are charged to property owners and become a part of their tax liability.

ALTERNATIVESAlternative 1: Approve the agreement renewal authorizing the County to abate fire hazards onbehalf of the City.

2

Alternative 2: Private hazard abatement vendors may be contracted with by the City ofGlendale to provide abatement services. This alternative would require the City to assume thelead role in key program tasks including notification, inspection and cost recovery, therebyincreasing the direct cost for the City.

Alternative 3: The City Council may consider any other alternate not proposed by staff.

RECOMMENDATIONIt is respectfully recommended that the City Council adopt Specification No. 3638 for the rentalof crane and rigging truck operator services for the City of Glendale Water & Power (GWP), anddirect the City Clerk to advertise for bids. Specification No. 3638 is on file and available in theCity Clerk’s office.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSISCranes are utilized by the City’s various construction crews within Glendale Water & Power(GWP) which includes: the Grayson Power Plant, Electric Overhead and Underground, andWater Distribution and Operations. Each of these Sections has various facilities and projectsthroughout the City that may require the use of various types of cranes ranging in size from 50to 400 tons in lifting capacity, as well as heavy rigging equipment which is required to performrepairs. These repairs include replacing power plant equipment, setting power poles andtransformers, installing electric and water system vaults and repairing water infastructure atreservoirs and other water facilities.

Previously, each Section within GWP obtained a separate Purchase Order for their respectivesections. In many cases, this limited the dollar amount allocated to that section within a givenfiscal year and did not allow for unanticipated construction related delays or complications. In aneffort to maximize staff production and minimize construction related delays and costs, GWP isrespectfully requesting to consolidate all crane services under one contract for the utility. Thiswill enable us to request these services on an “as needed” basis and enable us to monitorexpenditures on behalf of the entire department, while ensuring crane services are adequatelyprovided among all GWP Sections.

FISCAL IMPACTThe anticipated cost for crane rental and rigging truck services is $200,000 annually. GWP isrequesting a three-year contract in the amount of $200,000 per year with an option to renew foran additional two-year period at the same amount per year. Due to the services being requiredon an “as needed” basis among all GWP sections, we are requesting the contract be set up as a“7” purchase order enabling the department to pay the invoices in the appropriate accountswhere the services are requested. Funds are currently budgeted in FY2016-17 as follows:

• Power Plant: 43110-552-921-11639, 11644, 11645, 11647, 11653 & 12585• Electric Overhead/Underground: 43110-552-931-Various• Electric Customer Paid: 43110-555-931-Various• Water Distribution/Operations: 43110-572-951 - Various

Funding for future years will be requested as part of the annual bugetary process.

ALTERNATIVESAlternative 1: The City Council may adopt Specification No. 3638 and direct the City Clerk to

advertise for bids.

Alternative 2: The City Council may consider any other crane rental and rigging truck operatorservice delivery strategies.

Alternative 3: The City Council may consider any other alternative not proposed by staff.

RECOMMENDATION

The City Attorney recommends that the Council approve the Motion authorizing the City Manageror a designee to execute an amendment to the current Professional Services Agreement withGibbs Giden Locher Turner Senet & Wittbrodt LLP (Barbara Gadbois)— setting the contract capat $160,000— as a means of addressing current and future legal issues for capital construction!renovation! repair projects of City departments and the Glendale Successor Agency.

BACKGROUNDIANALYSIS

Since 2004, the City has had legal services agreements with the law firm of Gibbs Giden LocherTurner Senet & Wittbrodt LLP (“Gibbs Giden”)— using attorney Barbara Gadbois primarily— toassist the City Attorney, when needed, by providing specialized bid and construction law relatedadvice on various City and Glendale Successor Agency capital projects.

As projects come on line beginning at the bidding stage, and as they progress throughcompletion, legal issues typically arise, including contractor bid protests during the biddingphase and contractor claims during the construction phase. In cases where Gibbs Giden’sservices are needed, the legal issues are beyond the ordinary, requiring extensive legal analysisand the expertise of the law firm, whose legal practice primarily focuses on the public biddingprocess and contractor performance issues.

Gibbs Giden assists the City Attorney and City staff in• evaluating and resolving the variousissues that arise. The law firm has given advice on bidding and contract issues, prepared biddocuments, and resolved contractor construction claims. In just the past 3 years, the firm hasassisted on various bid challenges or contractor issues on the following projects:MONA/Paseo, Alex Theater Rehabilitation, Pacific Park Community Center Repair, BeelineMaintenance Facility (design-build), Chevy Chase Sewer Diversion, Central Library Renovation,and Landscape Maintenance of Government General Facilities. Gibbs Giden has also advisedon two Successor Agency projects, including issues involving payment of prevailing wages andresolving a performance bond matter.

On January 7, 2013, the City entered into a Professional Services Agreement with Gibbs Giden,for $15,000. On July 23, 2013, the Council approved an increase to the agreement, setting thecontract cap at $50,000. The agreement was amended on May 12, 2014, raising the contractcap to $75,000. Since then, City and Successor Agency projectsthat came on line necessitatedan increase in the contract cap, the last contract amendment occurred on February 24, 2016, to$125,000.

Increasing the contract cap from $125,000 to $160,000 will allow Gibbs Giden to continueassisting the City Attorney on existing and upcoming construction, renovation, and repairprojects of the City and Successor Agency. This office anticipates that Barbara Gadbois willprovide assistance on upcoming projects, including advice on paying prevailing wages andconstruction related matters for the ground lease for Hotel Indigo, the Gangi development of theRockhaven project, the proposed parking garage at Central Park, and the potential parkingreplacement behind the Alex Theater. For Public Works, she is developing a general usedesign-build specification and contract, which also will be used on GWP design-build projects.

RECOMMENDATIONStaff respectfully recommends that the City Council approve a Resolution adopting plans andspecifications for the Construction of a Glendale Police Department Museum in the Lobby of thePolice Building at 131 N. Isabel St., Specifications No. 3641, and directing the City Clerk toAdvertise for Bids.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSISThe Glendale Police Department shares a history with the City of Glendale that dates back tothe incorporation of the City in 1906. Through over 110 years of service, various items havebeen retained for historical purposes that have been primarily kept in storage. Many publicsafety agencies have museums to preserve and display such items and the current PoliceBuilding actually had space set aside in the original design for such a museum. However,budget constraints caused the build-out of that portion of the building to be eliminated duringconstruction.

The museum concept was revisited recently by the Police Department Historian. A designconcept has been completed which would locate this museum in the large open lobby of thePolice Building; this is the originally intended location. The design includes glass displaycabinets and a secured area with larger display items. The proposed project does not requireany structural changes to the building and would not change the daily functions, operations orstaffing.

The Museum will feature a wealth of memorabilia such as uniforms, badges, equipment, amotorcycle, and photos retained throughout the years and will be displayed for the entirecommunity to enjoy. It will also include rotating seasonal displays, a scaled down version of ourhelicopter, a K9 display, and a Fallen Officer Memorial. The Museum will be open to the publicfree of charge and will be educational, inspirational, and instill a sense of pride for residents,business owners, employees and visitors to our great city.

The proposed work at the Police Building would follow the City’s procurement process includinginsurance, bonding, indemnification, prevailing wage requirements, and permitting. The PublicWorks Facilities Management Division would manage the construction of this project fromprocurement to delivery.

FISCAL IMPACTThe construction of the new Police Museum is estimated to cost $125,000. An opportunity nowexists to build the project with no City funding due to generous donations from local businesses,citizens, and community stakeholders. The Glendale Police Foundation, governed by avolunteer Board of Directors from the greater Glendale community, has taken the lead in raisingdonations to build the Police Museum. To date the fundraising efforts have reachedaØproximately $120,000 and are still continuing. This is due in large part to the obvious supportthe Glendale Police Department and this project have within the community.

The City has received a commitment from the Glendale Police Foundation to fund this project inits entirety. Funding for this project including an appropriate contract contingency amount will betransferred from the Glendale Police Foundation to the City. The construction of this project willhave no fiscal impact on the City.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS

The property owner has requested the City to process the vacation of a portion of the northeasterlyblock of Montrose Avenue, northwesterly of La Crescenta Avenue at 2817 Montrose Avenue. Thevacated right-of-way (ROW) will be incorporated into the adjoining properties for possible futuredevelopment and consists of a historical river-rock wall which the property owner will have tosecure in place and maintain. Currently, the project site consists of the Unity Church of the Valley.

The width of the subject street varies from 90 feet to 95 feet, with a road surface 75 feet wide. Theparkway along that portion of Montrose Avenue under consideration for vacation varies in widthfrom eight to 18 feet. The subject street is improved with curb and gutter, sidewalk, asphalticconcrete pavement and streetlights. Easements will be reserved for all utilities within the subjectstreet.

Planning Commission Finding

Community Development Department has determined that this street vacation is deemed to beconforming with the General Plan in accordance with 12.24.060(B)2 and does not need review bythe Planning Commission. This vacation is of a minor nature and is an abandonment of ROWacquired for street widening. The street improvements on Montrose Avenue are consistent with theGeneral Plan Circulation Element for a Minor Arterial. The new ROW will be consistent withexisting improvements, and no physical alterations to Montrose Avenue are required to accomplishthis street vacation. A copy of their correspondence, dated October 5, 2016, is enclosed as Exhibit“B”.

Environmental Impact

The project qualifies as a Class 1 exemption, minor alterations to existing public or private facilities,as provided by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, and is thereforeexempt from any environmental review.

Public Notices

2

3. A condition from the Community Development Department requires that the river-rock wallis preserved in place and that the property owner preserves and incorporates the wall intoany future development.

FISCAL IMPACT

The action proposed in this report would eliminate the City’s responsibility to maintain the historicalriver-rock wall in the future.

ALTERNATIVES

Alternative 1: Approve the attached Resolutions. Responsibility for maintenance of the historicalriver-rock wall will return to the property owner.

Alternative 2: Not approve the attached Resolutions. Under this alternative the street would not bevacated and responsibility for the historical river-rock wall would remain with the City.

Hi Bill,

Thank you for letting us review this vacation. The Planning Commission does not needto review this street vacation for a finding of consistency with the general plan becauseit is de minimus and the vacation will not result in changes to existing roadwayimprovements. However, we do ask that a condition be added that requirespreservation of rock wall fronting Montrose. If you put this condition in the streetvacation, then it will be recorded and put all future property owners on notice that thewall may not be removed.

Thanks,

Laura
