CONTRACT
THIS CONTRACT, by and between the CITY OF LA QUINTA, a municipal

In consideration of their mutual covenants, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Abandonment in the City of La Quinta, California pursuant to the Invitation to Bid,
dated December 2025, the project Specifications, and Contractor's Bid, all of which
documents shall be considered a part hereof as though fully set herein.
Should any provisions of Contractor's Bid be in conflict with the Notice Inviting Bids,
Specifications, or this Contract, then the provisions of said Contract, Specifications, and
Invitation to Bid shall be controlling, in that order of precedence. The time frame for
construction work shall be in accordance with that specified in the Invitation to Bid.
2. Contractor will comply with all Federal, State, County, and La Quinta Municipal
Code, which are, as amended from time to time, incorporated herein by reference.
3. All work shall be done in a manner satisfactory to the City Engineer.
4. Contractor shall commence work after the issuance of a written Notice to
Proceed and agrees to have all work completed within 30 working days from the date
of Notification to Proceed.
5. In consideration of said work, City agrees to pay Contractor such sums as shall
be approved by the City Engineer at lump sums and/or unit prices stated in the
Contractor's Bid, the base consideration Sixty Thousand Four Hundred Ninety
Dollars and Fifty Cents ($60,490.50). All payments shall be subject to approval by the
City Engineer and shall be in accordance with the terms, conditions, and procedures
provided in the Specifications.
6. The Contractor shall not knowingly pay less than the general prevailing rate for
per diem wages, as determined by the State of California Department of Industrial
Relations and referred to in the Invitation to Bid, to any workman employed for the work
to be performed under this contract; and the Contractor shall forfeit as a penalty to the
City the sum of Twenty -Five Dollars ($25.00) for each calendar day, or fraction thereof,
for such workman paid by him or by any subcontractor under him in violation of this
provision (Sections 1770-1777, Labor Code of California).
Pursuant to Section 1770, et. seq., of the California Labor Code, the successful bidder
shall pay not less than the prevailing rate of per diem wages as determined by the

Director of the California Department of Industrial Relations. These wage rates are

may be awarded a contract for public work on a public works project unless registered
with the Department of Industrial Relations at the time the contract is awarded.
Contractors and subcontractors may find additional information for registering at the
Department of Industrial Relations website at http://www.dir.ca.gov/Public-
Works/PublicWorks.htmi.
Pursuant to Labor Code section 1771.1, no contractor or subcontractor may be listed on
a bid proposal for a public works project submitted on or after March 1, 2015 unless
registered with the Department of Industrial Relations. Furthermore, all bidders and
contractors are hereby notified that no contractor or subcontractor may be awarded, on
or after April 1, 2015, a contract for public work on a public works project unless
registered with the Department of Industrial Relations.
Pursuant to Labor Code section 1771.4, all bidders are hereby notified that this project
is subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the Department of Industrial
Relations.
7. Concurrently with the execution of this Contract, Contractor shall furnish bonds of
a surety satisfactory to City, as provided in said Specifications or Invitation to Bid, the
cost of which shall be paid by Contractor.
8. Except for the gross negligence or willful misconduct of an Indemnified Party (as
hereinafter defined), the Contractor hereby assumes liability for and agrees to defend
(at Indemnified Parties' option), indemnify, protect and hold harmless City and its
Project Consultants, and Engineers, officers, agents, and employees ("Indemnified
Parties") from and against any and all claims, charges, damages, demands, actions,
proceedings, losses, stop notices, costs, expenses (including counsel fees), judgments,
civil fines and penalties, liabilities of any kind or nature whatsoever, which may be
sustained or suffered by or secured against the Indemnified Parties arising out of or
encountered in connection with this Contract or the performance of the Work including,
but not limited to, death of or bodily or personal injury to persons or damage to property,
including property owned by or under the care and custody of City, and for civil fines
and penalties, that may arise from or be caused, in whole or in part, by any negligent or
other act or omission of Contractor, its officers, agents, employees or Subcontractors
including, but not limited to, liability arising from:
1. Any dangerous, hazardous, unsafe or defective condition of, in or on the
premises, of any nature whatsoever, which may exist by reason of any act,
omission, neglect, or any use or occupation of the premises by Contractor, its
officers, agents, employees, or subcontractors;
Contract 1300-2
2. Any operation conducted upon or any use or occupation of the premises by
Contractor, its officers, agents, employees, or subcontractors under or
pursuant to the provisions of this contract or otherwise;
3. Any act, omission or negligence of Contractor, its officers, agents,
employees, or Subcontractors;
4. Any failure of Contractor, its officers, agents or employees to comply with any
of the terms or conditions of this Contract or any applicable federal, state,
regional, or municipal law, ordinance, rule or regulation; and
5. The conditions, operations, uses, occupations, acts, omissions or negligence
referred to in Sub -subsections (1), (2), (3), and (4), existing or conducted
upon or arising from the use or occupation by Contractor on any other
premises in the care, custody and control of City.
The Contractor also agrees to indemnify City and pay for all damages or loss suffered
by City including but not limited to damage to or loss of City property, to the extent not
insured by City and loss of City revenue from any source, caused by or arising out of
the conditions, operations, uses, occupations, acts, omissions or negligence referred to
in Sub -subsections (1), (2), (3), (4) and (5).
Contractor's obligations under this Section apply regardless of whether or not such
claim, charge, damage, demand, action, proceeding, loss, stop notice, cost expense,
judgment, civil fine or penalty, or liability was caused in part or contributed to by an
Indemnified Party. However, without affecting the rights of City under any provision of
this contract, Contractor shall not be required to indemnify and hold harmless City for
liability attributable to the active negligence of City, provided such active negligence is
determined by agreement between the parties or by the findings of a court of competent
jurisdiction. In instances where City is shown to have been actively negligent and
where City's active negligence accounts for only a percentage of the liability involved,
the obligation of Contractor will be for that entire portion or percentage of liability not
attributable to the active negligence of City.
Contractor agrees to obtain executed indemnity agreements with provisions identical to
those set forth here in this section from each and every subcontractor or any other
person or entity involved by, for, with or on behalf of Contractor in the performance of
this contract. In the event Contractor fails to obtain such indemnity obligations from
others as required here, Contractor agrees to be fully responsible according to the
terms of this section.
Failure of City to monitor compliance with these requirements imposes no additional
obligations on City and will in no way act as a waiver of any rights hereunder. This
obligation to indemnify and defend City as set forth here is binding on the successors,
assigns or heirs of Contractor and shall survive the termination of this contract or this
section.
Contract 1300-3
This indemnity shall survive termination of the Contract or Final Payment hereunder.
This Indemnity is in addition to any other rights or remedies that the Indemnified Parties
may have under the law or under any other Contract Documents or Agreements. In the
event of any claim or demand made against any party which is entitled to be
indemnified hereunder, City may, in its sole discretion, reserve, retain or apply any
monies to the Contractor under this Contract for the purpose of resolving such claims;
provided, however, City may release such funds if the Contractor provides City with
reasonable assurance of protection of the Indemnified Parties' interests. City shall, in its
sole discretion, determine whether such assurances are reasonable.
Approval of any insurance contracts by the City does not relieve the Contractor or
subcontractors from liability under Section 1340-1.0, Indemnification of the
Specifications. The City will not be liable for any accident, loss, or damage to the work
prior to its completion and acceptance.
9. Except as otherwise required, Contractor shall concurrently with the execution of
this contract, furnish the City satisfactory evidence of insurance of the kinds and in the
amounts provided in said Specifications, Section 1340-2.0, Insurance Requirements.
This insurance shall be kept in full force and effect by Contractor during this entire
contract and all premiums thereon shall be promptly paid by it. Each policy shall further
state that it cannot be canceled without written notice to the City and shall name the City
as an additional insured on the Commercial General Liability policy only. Contractor
shall furnish evidence of having in effect, and shall maintain, Workers Compensation
Insurance coverage of not less than the statutory amount or otherwise show a certificate
of self-insurance, in accordance with the Workers Compensation laws of the State of
California. Failure to maintain the required amounts and types of coverage throughout
the duration of this Contract shall constitute a material breach of this Contract.
10. Except as otherwise required, Contractor shall furnish the City a Milestone
Schedule within 10 days of the Notice of Award or with the return of this contract signed
by the Contractor, whichever is earlier, with a beginning date of 15 days after the Notice
of Award as provided in said Specifications, Section 4.2, Construction Schedule.
Contractor shall pay to City $500.00 liquidated damages per calendar day that the
Milestone Schedule is not provided.
11. Contractor shall forfeit as a penalty to City $25.00 for each laborer, workman, or
mechanic employed in the execution of this Contract by said Contractor, or any
subcontractor under it, upon any of the work herein mentioned, for each calendar day
during which such laborer, workman, or mechanic is required or permitted to work at
other than a rate of pay provided by law for more than 8 hours in any one calendar day
and 40 hours in any one calendar week, in violation of the provisions of Sections 1810-
1815 of the Labor Code of the State of California.
Contract 1300-4
12. In accepting this Contract, Contractor certifies that in the conduct of its business
it does not deny the right of any individual to seek, obtain and hold employment without
discrimination because of race, religious creed, color, national origin, ancestry, physical
handicap, medical condition, marital status, sex or age as provided in the California Fair
Employment Practice Act (Government Code Sections 12900, et seq.). Contractor
agrees that a finding by the State Fair Employment Practices Commission that
Contractor has engaged during the term of this Contract in any unlawful employment
practice shall be deemed a breach of this Contract and Contractor shall pay to City
$1,607.00 liquidated damages for each such breach committed under this contract.
13. Contractor also agrees that for contracts in excess of $30,000.00 and more
than 20 calendar days duration, that apprentices will be employed without
discrimination in an approved program in a ratio established in the
apprenticeship standards of the craft involved (Sections 1777.5 and 1777.6, Labor
Code of California). Contractors who willfully fail to comply will be denied the
right to bid on public projects for a period of six months in addition to other
penalties provided by law.
14. This Contract shall not be assignable by Contractor without the written consent of
City.
15. Contractor shall notify the City Engineer (in writing) forthwith when the Contract is
deemed completed.
16. In accepting this Contract, Contractor certifies that no member or officer of the
firm or corporation is an officer or employee of the City except to the extent permitted by
law.
17. Contractor certifies that it is the holder of any necessary California State
Contractor's License and authorized to undertake the above work.
18. The City, or its authorized auditors or representatives, shall have access to and
the right to audit and reproduce any of the Contractor records to the extent the City
deems necessary to insure it is receiving all money to which it is entitled under the
contract and/or is paying only the amounts to which Contractor is properly entitled under
the Contract or for other purposes relating to the Contract.
19. The Contractor shall maintain and preserve all such records for a period of at
least three years after termination of the contract.
20. The Contractor shall maintain all such records in the City of La Quinta. If not, the
Contractor shall, upon request, promptly deliver the records to the City or reimburse the
City for all reasonable and extra costs incurred in conducting the audit at a location
other than at City offices including, but not limited to, such additional (out of the City)
expenses for personnel, salaries, private auditors, travel, lodging, meals and overhead.
21. The further terms, conditions, and covenants of the Contract are set forth in the
Contract Documents, each of which is by this reference made a part hereof.

SECTION 1340
LIABILITY AND INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS
1.0 INDEMNIFICATION
Except for the gross negligence or willful misconduct of an Indemnified Party (as
hereinafter defined), the Contractor hereby assumes liability for and agrees to
defend (at Indemnified Parties' option), indemnify, protect and hold harmless City
and its Project Consultants, and Engineers, officers, agents, and employees
("Indemnified Parties") from and against any and all claims, charges, damages,
demands, actions, proceedings, losses, stop notices, costs, expenses (including
counsel fees), judgments, civil fines and penalties, liabilities of any kind or nature
whatsoever, which may be sustained or suffered by or secured against the
Indemnified Parties arising out of or encountered in connection with this Contract
or the performance of the Work including, but not limited to, death of or bodily or
personal injury to persons or damage to property, including property owned by or
under the care and custody of City, and for civil fines and penalties, that may arise
from or be caused, in whole or in part, by any negligent or other act or omission of
Contractor, its officers, agents, employees or Subcontractors including, but not
limited to, liability arising from:
Any dangerous, hazardous, unsafe or defective condition of, in or on the
premises, of any nature whatsoever, which may exist by reason of any act,
omission, neglect, or any use or occupation of the premises by Contractor,
its officers, agents, employees, or subcontractors;
2. Any operation conducted upon or any use or occupation of the premises by
Contractor, its officers, agents, employees, or subcontractors under or
pursuant to the provisions of this contract or otherwise;
3. Any act, omission or negligence of Contractor, its officers, agents,
employees, or Subcontractors;
4. Any failure of Contractor, its officers, agents or employees to comply with
any of the terms or conditions of this Contract or any applicable federal,
state, regional, or municipal law, ordinance, rule or regulation; and
5. The conditions, operations, uses, occupations, acts, omissions or
negligence referred to in Sub -subsections (1), (2), (3), and (4), existing or
conducted upon or arising from the use or occupation by Contractor on any
other premises in the care, custody and control of City.
The Contractor also agrees to indemnify City and pay for all damages or loss
suffered by City including but not limited to damage to or loss of City property, to
the extent not insured by City and loss of City revenue from any source, caused
by or arising out of the conditions, operations, uses, occupations, acts, omissions
or negligence referred to in Sub -subsections (1), (2), (3), (4) and (5).
Liability and Insurance Requirements 1340-1
Contractor's obligations under this Section apply regardless of whether or not such
claim, charge, damage, demand, action, proceeding, loss, stop notice, cost
expense, judgment, civil fine or penalty, or liability was caused in part or
contributed to by an Indemnified Party.
However, without affecting the rights of City under any provision of this Contract,
Contractor shall not be required to indemnify and hold harmless City for liability
attributable to the active negligence of City, provided such active negligence is
determined by Contract between the parties or by the findings of a court of
competent jurisdiction. In instances where City is shown to have been actively
negligent and where City's active negligence accounts for only a percentage of the
liability involved, the obligation of Contractor will be for that entire portion or
percentage of liability not attributable to the active negligence of City.
Contractor agrees to obtain executed indemnity agreements with provisions
identical to those set forth here in this section from each and every subcontractor
or any other person or entity involved by, for, with or on behalf of Contractor in the
performance of this Contract. In the event Contractor fails to obtain such indemnity
obligations from others as required here, Contractor agrees to be fully responsible
according to the terms of this section.
Failure of City to monitor compliance with these requirements imposes no
additional obligations on City and will in no way act as a waiver of any rights
hereunder. This obligation to indemnify and defend City as set forth here is binding
on the successors, assigns or heirs of Contractor and shall survive the termination
of this Contract or this section.
This indemnity shall survive termination of the Contract or Final Payment
hereunder. This Indemnity is in addition to any other rights or remedies that the
Indemnified Parties may have under the law or under any other Contract
Documents or Agreements. In the event of any claim or demand made against any
party which is entitled to be indemnified hereunder, City may, in its sole discretion,
reserve, retain or apply any monies to the Contractor under this Contract for the
purpose of resolving such claims; provided, however, City may release such funds
if the Contractor provides City with reasonable assurance of protection of the
Indemnified Parties' interests. City shall, in its sole discretion, determine whether
such assurances are reasonable.
Approval of any insurance contracts by the City does not relieve the Contractor or
subcontractors from liability under Section 1340-1.0, Indemnification. The City will
not be liable for any accident, loss, or damage to the work prior to its completion
and acceptance.
Liability and Insurance Requirements 1340-2
2.0 INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS
2.1 General
Prior to the beginning of and throughout the duration of the Work, Contractor will

coverage required in this Contract and which is applicable to a given loss, will be
available to City.
Contractor shall submit coverage verification for review and approval by the City
upon execution of the Contract.
The Notice to Proceed with the Work under this Contract will not be issued, and

on its subcontract until all similar insurance required of the subcontractor has been
obtained and verified by Contractor. Such insurance shall remain in full force and
effect at all times during the prosecution of the Work and until the final completion
and acceptance thereof.
The Notice to Proceed does not relieve the Contractor of the duty to obtain such
insurance as required by Paragraph 1340-2.0 INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS.

performance under this Agreement. The insurance policy shall contain a
severability of interest clause providing that the coverage shall be primary for
losses arising out of Contracting Party's performance hereunder and neither City
nor its insurers shall be required to contribute to any such loss. An endorsement
evidencing the foregoing and naming the City and its officers and employees as
additional insured (on the Commercial General Liability policy only) must be
submitted concurrently with the execution of this Agreement and approved by City
prior to commencement of the services hereunder.
Contracting Party shall carry automobile liability insurance of $1,000,000 per

person directly or indirectly employed by Contracting Party, any subcontractor or
agent, or anyone for whose acts any of them may be liable, arising directly or
indirectly out of or related to Contracting Party's performance under this
Agreement. If Contracting Party or Contracting Party's employees will use personal
autos in any way on this project, Contracting Party shall provide evidence of
personal auto liability coverage for each such person. The term "automobile"
includes, but is not limited to, a land motor vehicle, trailer or semi -trailer designed
for travel on public roads. The automobile insurance policy shall contain a

such coverage for an additional period of three (3) years following termination of
the contract.
Liability and Insurance Requirements 1340-4
Contracting Party shall provide written notice to City within ten (10) working days
if: (1) any of the required insurance policies is terminated; (2) the limits of any of
the required polices are reduced; or (3) the deductible or self -insured retention is
increased. In the event any of said policies of insurance are cancelled, Contracting
Party shall, prior to the cancellation date, submit new evidence of insurance in
conformance with this Exhibit to the Contract Officer.
The procuring of such insurance or the delivery of policies or certificates
evidencing the same shall not be construed as a limitation of Contracting Party's
obligation to indemnify City, its officers, employees, contractors, subcontractors,
or agents.
2.3 Remedies
In addition to any other remedies City may have if Contracting Party fails to provide
or maintain any insurance policies or policy endorsements to the extent and within
the time herein required, City may, at its sole option:
a. Obtain such insurance and deduct and retain the amount of the premiums
for such insurance from any sums due under this Agreement.
b. Order Contracting Party to stop work under this Agreement and/or withhold
any payment(s) which become due to Contracting Party hereunder until
Contracting Party demonstrates compliance with the requirements hereof.
c. Terminate this Agreement.
Exercise of any of the above remedies, however, is an alternative to any other
remedies City may have. The above remedies are not the exclusive remedies for
Contracting Party's failure to maintain or secure appropriate policies or
endorsements. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as limiting in any way
the extent to which Contracting Party may be held responsible for payments of
damages to persons or property resulting from Contracting Party's or its
subcontractors' performance of work under this Agreement.
2.4 General Conditions Pertaining to Provisions of Insurance Coverage by
Contracting Party. Contracting Party and City agree to the following with
respect to insurance provided by Contracting Party:
Contracting Party agrees to have its insurer endorse the third -party general liability
coverage required herein to include as additional insureds City, its officials,
employees, and agents, using standard ISO endorsement No. CG 2010 with an
edition prior to 1992. Contracting Party also agrees to require all contractors, and
subcontractors to do likewise.
2. No liability insurance coverage provided to comply with this Agreement shall
prohibit Contracting Party, or Contracting Party's employees, or agents, from
waiving the right of subrogation prior to a loss. Contracting Party agrees to waive
subrogation rights against City regardless of the applicability of any insurance
proceeds, and to require all contractors and subcontractors to do likewise.
Liability and Insurance Requirements 1340-5
3. All insurance coverage and limits provided by Contracting Party and available or
applicable to this Agreement are intended to apply to the full extent of the policies.
Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other agreement relating to City or its
operations limits the application of such insurance coverage.
4. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these
requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been
first submitted to City and approved of in writing.
5. No liability policy shall contain any provision or definition that would serve to
eliminate so-called "third party action over" claims, including any exclusion for
bodily injury to an employee of the insured or of any contractor or subcontractor.
6. All coverage types and limits required are subject to approval, modification and
additional requirements by the City, as the need arises.
7. Contracting Party shall not make any reductions in scope of coverage (e.g.
elimination of contractual liability or reduction of discovery period) that may affect
City's protection without City's prior written consent.
8. Proof of compliance with these insurance requirements, consisting of certificates
of insurance evidencing all of the coverages required and an additional insured
endorsement to Contracting Party's general liability policy, shall be delivered to
City at or prior to the execution of this Agreement. In the event such proof of any
insurance is not delivered as required, or in the event such insurance is canceled
at any time and no replacement coverage is provided, City has the right, but not
the duty, to obtain any insurance it deems necessary to protect its interests under
this or any other agreement and to pay the premium. Any premium so paid by City
shall be charged to and promptly paid by Contracting Party or deducted from sums
due Contracting Party, at City option.
9. It is acknowledged by the parties of this agreement that all insurance coverage
required to be provided by Contracting Party or any subcontractor, is intended to
apply first and on a primary, non-contributing basis in relation to any other
insurance or self-insurance available to City.
10. Contracting Party agrees to ensure that subcontractors, and any other party
involved with the project that is brought onto or involved in the project by
Contracting Party, provide the same minimum insurance coverage required of
Contracting Party. Contracting Party agrees to monitor and review all such
coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is
provided in conformity with the requirements of this section. Contracting Party
agrees that upon request, all agreements with subcontractors and others engaged
in the project will be submitted to City for review.
Liability and Insurance Requirements 1340-6
11. Contracting Party agrees not to self -insure or to use any self -insured retentions or
deductibles on any portion of the insurance required herein (with the exception of
professional liability coverage, if required) and further agrees that it will not allow
any contractor, subcontractor, Architect, Engineer or other entity or person in any
way involved in the performance of work on the project contemplated by this
agreement to self -insure its obligations to City. If Contracting Party's existing
coverage includes a deductible or self -insured retention, the deductible or self -
insured retention must be declared to the City. At that time the City shall review
options with the Contracting Party, which may include reduction or elimination of
the deductible or self -insured retention, substitution of other coverage, or other
solutions.
12. The City reserves the right at any time during the term of this Agreement to change
the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the Contracting Party ninety
(90) days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in
substantial additional cost to the Contracting Party, the City will negotiate
additional compensation proportional to the increased benefit to City.
13. For purposes of applying insurance coverage only, this Agreement will be deemed
to have been executed immediately upon any party hereto taking any steps that
can be deemed to be in furtherance of or towards performance of this Agreement.
14. Contracting Party acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on
the part of City to inform Contracting Party of non-compliance with any insurance
requirement in no way imposes any additional obligations on City nor does it waive
any rights hereunder in this or any other regard.
15. Contracting Party will renew the required coverage annually as long as City, or its
employees or agents face an exposure from operations of any type pursuant to
this agreement. This obligation applies whether or not the agreement is canceled
or terminated for any reason. Termination of this obligation is not effective until
City executes a written statement to that effect.
16. Contracting Party shall provide proof that policies of insurance required herein
expiring during the term of this Agreement have been renewed or replaced with
other policies providing at least the same coverage. Proof that such coverage has
been ordered shall be submitted prior to expiration. A coverage binder or letter
from Contracting Party's insurance agent to this effect is acceptable. A certificate
of insurance and/or additional insured endorsement as required in these
specifications applicable to the renewing or new coverage must be provided to City
within five (5) days of the expiration of coverages.
17. The provisions of any workers' compensation or similar act will not limit the
obligations of Contracting Party under this agreement. Contracting Party expressly
agrees not to use any statutory immunity defenses under such laws with respect
to City, its employees, officials, and agents.
Liability and Insurance Requirements 1340-7
18. Requirements of specific coverage features, or limits contained in this section are
not intended as limitations on coverage, limits or other requirements nor as a
waiver of any coverage normally provided by any given policy. Specific reference
to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a
given issue, and is not intended by any party or insured to be limiting or all-
inclusive.
19. These insurance requirements are intended to be separate and distinct from any
other provision in this Agreement and are intended by the parties here to be
interpreted as such.
20. The requirements in this Exhibit supersede all other sections and provisions of this
Agreement to the extent that any other section or provision conflicts with or impairs
the provisions of this Exhibit.
21. Contracting Party agrees to be responsible for ensuring that no contract used by
any party involved in any way with the project reserves the right to charge City or
Contracting Party for the cost of additional insurance coverage required by this
agreement. Any such provisions are to be deleted with reference to City. It is not
the intent of City to reimburse any third party for the cost of complying with these
requirements. There shall be no recourse against City for payment of premiums
or other amounts with respect thereto.
22. Contracting Party agrees to provide immediate notice to City of any claim or loss
against Contracting Party arising out of the work performed under this agreement.
City assumes no obligation or liability by such notice, but has the right (but not the
duty) to monitor the handling of any such claim or claims if they are likely to involve
City.
2.5 Change in Terms
The Contractor shall provide immediate written notice to the City of any change in
terms and conditions and/or reduction in the coverage of any nature to the
insurance policies. The notice shall be sent to:

STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: AWARD CONTRACT TO LNL PROPERTY SERVICES FOR THE
DUNE PALMS MOBILE ESTATE POOL ABANDONMENT PROJECT NO. 2025-09
RECOMMENDATION
Award contract to LNL Property Services for the Dune Palms Mobile Estates Pool
Abandonment Project No. 2025-09; and authorize the Executive Director to execute the
contract and approve future change orders within the project budget amount.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
• The Dune Palms Mobile Estates Pool Abandonment Project (Project) will abandon
the existing unusable empty pool located at the Dune Palms Mobile Estates
(Attachment 1).
• On June 11, 2025, the Housing Commission reviewed and recommended the
Housing Authority (Authority) approve the fiscal year (FY) 2025/26 Authority
budget, which included the proposed demolition of the pool at the Dune Palms
Mobile Estates.
• The City received 6 contractor bids in January 2026. LNL Property Services of
Pahrump, NV, submitted the lowest responsible and responsive bid at $60,490.
FISCAL IMPACT
Estimated Project costs are $105,000, and in FY 2025/26 the Authority allocation the
Project budget in Account No. 241-9104-72110 under Building/Site Improvements. Any
remaining funds will be returned to the original Account.
The following is the breakdown of the project budget:
Total Budget
Design/Professional:
$
13,000
Construction:
$
60,490
Inspection/Testing/Survey:
$
10,000
Contingency:

Total Budget:
$
105,000
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
The community pool at Dune Palms Mobile Estates was originally drained and closed
during the pandemic, at which time the City identified significant structural damage to the
pool foundation. Riverside County Public Health determined that the pool required
substantial upgrades to meet current health and safety standards. During final design for
the City's Dune Palms Bridge Project 2011-05, it was determined a portion of the pool
property was required, reducing the available area needed to accommodate the
improvements. The combination of these conditions made replacement of the pool
infeasible. With the Dune Palms Road Bridge project now complete, the City is prepared
to permanently abandon the pool.
The abandonment work includes breaking open the pool bottom, removing the
surrounding concrete decking, filling the pool cavity with suitable compacted backfill, and
leaving the site in a clean condition suitable for future enhancements. Staff is currently
reviewing the overall layout of Dune Palms Mobile Estates to identify opportunities to
improve open space and site circulation. This project was presented to the Housing
Commission as a potential improvement expenditure during its review of the Authority's
FY 2025/26 budget on June 11, 2025. The Authority subsequently approved the FY
2025/26 budget on June 17, 2025.
In December 2025, staff solicited construction bids from qualified contractors. LNL
Property Services was the lowest responsible and responsive bidder. Bid prices were
reviewed, and the increase over the engineer's estimate is primarily attributable to the
relatively small size of the project.
Contingent upon approval to award the project on January 20, 2026, the following is the
proposed project schedule:
Authority Considers Project Award January 20, 2026
Execute Contract and Mobilize January to February 2026
Construction (30 Working Days) February to March 2026
Accept Improvements April 2026
ALTERNATIVES
Staff does not recommend an alternative.
