reference (the "Services"). Contracting Party represents and warrants that Contracting
Party is a provider of first-class work and/or services and Contracting Party is experienced
in performing the Services contemplated herein and, in light of such status and
experience, Contracting Party covenants that it shall follow industry standards in
performing the Services required hereunder, and that all materials, if any, will be of good

standards" shall mean those standards of practice recognized by one or more first-class
firms performing similar services under similar circumstances.

in accordance with all ordinances, resolutions, statutes, rules, regulations, and laws of
the City and any Federal, State, or local governmental agency of competent jurisdiction.

Revised — Sept. 2025
1.5 Familiarity with Work. By executing this Agreement, Contracting Party
warrants that (a) it has thoroughly investigated and considered the Services to be
performed, (b) it has investigated the site where the Services are to be performed, if any,
and fully acquainted itself with the conditions there existing, (c) it has carefully considered
how the Services should be performed, and (d) it fully understands the facilities,
difficulties, and restrictions attending performance of the Services under this Agreement.
Should Contracting Party discover any latent or unknown conditions materially differing
from those inherent in the Services or as represented by City, Contracting Party shall
immediately inform City of such fact and shall not proceed except at Contracting Party's
risk until written instructions are received from the Contract Officer, or assigned
designee (as defined in Section 4.2 hereof).
1.6 Standard of Care. Contracting Party acknowledges and understands that
the Services contracted for under this Agreement require specialized skills and abilities
and that, consistent with this understanding, Contracting Party's work will be held to an
industry standard of quality and workmanship. Consistent with Section 1.5 hereinabove,
Contracting Party represents to City that it holds the necessary skills and abilities to satisfy
the industry standard of quality as set forth in this Agreement. Contracting Party shall
adopt reasonable methods during the life of this Agreement to furnish continuous
protection to the Services performed by Contracting Party, and the equipment, materials,
papers, and other components thereof to prevent losses or damages, and shall be
responsible for all such damages, to persons or property, until acceptance of the Services
by City, except such losses or damages as may be caused by City's own negligence.
The performance of Services by Contracting Party shall not relieve Contracting Party from
any obligation to correct any incomplete, inaccurate, or defective work at no further cost
to City, when such inaccuracies are due to the negligence of Contracting Party.
1.7 Additional Services. In accordance with the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, Contracting Party shall perform services in addition to those specified in the
Scope of Services ("Additional Services") only when directed to do so by the Contract
Officer, or assigned designee, provided that Contracting Party shall not be required to
perform any Additional Services without compensation. Contracting Party shall not
perform any Additional Services until receiving prior written authorization through a duly
executed written amendment or change order from the Contract Officer, or assigned
designee, incorporating therein any adjustment in (i) the Contract Sum, in accordance
with Section 2.3 of this Agreement, and/or (ii) the time to perform this Agreement, which
said adjustments are subject to the written approval of Contracting Party. It is expressly
understood by Contracting Party that the provisions of this Section shall not apply to the
Services specifically set forth in the Scope of Services or reasonably contemplated
therein. It is specifically understood and agreed that oral requests and/or approvals of
Additional Services shall be barred and are unenforceable. Failure of Contracting Party
to secure the Contract Officer's, or assigned designee's written, authorization for
Additional Services shall constitute a waiver of any and all right to adjustment of the
Contract Sum or time to perform this Agreement, whether by way of compensation,
restitution, quantum meruit, or the like, for Additional Services provided without the
appropriate authorization from the Contract Officer, or assigned designee.

Officer, or assigned designee, and subject to retention pursuant to Section 8.3, City will

event of a Contracting Party default.
2.3 Compensation for Additional Services. Additional Services approved in

Agreement shall be paid for in an amount agreed to in writing through a duly executed
amendment or change order by both City and Contracting Party in advance of the
Additional Services being rendered by Contracting Party. Any compensation for
Additional Services amounting to five percent (5%) of the Contract Sum or Fifteen
Thousand Dollars ($15,000), whichever is less, may be approved by the Contract Officer,
or assigned designee. Any greater amount of compensation for Additional Services must
be approved by the La Quinta City Council, the City Manager, or Department Director,
depending upon City laws, regulations, rules and procedures concerning public
contracting. Under no circumstances shall Contracting Party receive compensation for
any Additional Services without prior written approval through a duly executed

Officer, or assigned designee, pursuant to Section 1.7 of this Agreement.
3. PERFORMANCE SCHEDULE.
3.1 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence in the performance of this
Agreement. If the Services are not completed in accordance with the Schedule of
Performance, as set forth in Section 3.2 and "Exhibit C", it is understood that the City will
suffer damage.

Agreement shall be performed diligently and within the time period established in "Exhibit

Schedule of Performance may be approved in writing by the Contract Officer, or
assigned designee.
3.3 Force Majeure. The time period specified in the Schedule of Performance
for performance of the Services rendered pursuant to this Agreement shall be extended

fault or negligence of Contracting Party, including, but not restricted to, acts of God or of
the public enemy, fires, earthquakes, floods, epidemic, quarantine restrictions, riots,
strikes, freight embargoes, acts of any governmental agency other than City, and

Services for the period of the forced delay when and if in the Contract Officer's judgment
such delay is justified, and the Contract Officer's determination, or assigned designee,
shall be final and conclusive upon the parties to this Agreement. Extensions to time
period in the Schedule of Performance which are determined by the Contract Officer, or
H
assigned designee, to be justified pursuant to this Section shall not entitle the
Contracting Party to additional compensation in excess of the Contract Sum.

court in the event of such action.
8.2 Disputes. In the event of any dispute arising under this Agreement, the

assigned designee; provided that if the default is an immediate danger to the health,
safety, or general welfare, City may take such immediate action as City deems warranted.
Compliance with the provisions of this Section shall be a condition precedent to
termination of this Agreement for cause and to any legal action, and such compliance
shall not be a waiver of any party's right to take legal action in the event that the dispute
is not cured, provided that nothing herein shall limit City's right to terminate this
Agreement without cause pursuant to this Article 8.0. During the period of time that
Contracting Party is in default, City shall hold all invoices and shall, when the default is

Party in the performance of the Services required by this Agreement.
8.4 Waiver. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy of a
non -defaulting party on any default shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as
a waiver. City's consent or approval of any act by Contracting Party requiring City's
consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary City's consent
-10-
to or approval of any subsequent act of Contracting Party. Any waiver by either party of
any default must be in writing and shall not be a waiver of any other default concerning
the same or any other provision of this Agreement.
8.5 Rights and Remedies are Cumulative. Except with respect to rights and
remedies expressly declared to be exclusive in this Agreement, the rights and remedies
of the parties are cumulative and the exercise by either party of one or more of such rights
or remedies shall not preclude the exercise by it, at the same or different times, of any
other rights or remedies for the same default or any other default by the other party.
8.6 Legal Action. In addition to any other rights or remedies, either party may
take legal action, at law or at equity, to cure, correct, or remedy any default, to recover
damages for any default, to compel specific performance of this Agreement, to obtain
declaratory or injunctive relief, or to obtain any other remedy consistent with the purposes
of this Agreement.

ADDENDUM TO AGREEMENT
Re: Scope of Services
If the Scope of Services include construction, alteration, demolition, installation,
repair, or maintenance affecting real property or structures or improvements of any kind
appurtenant to real property, the following apply:
1. Prevailing Wage Compliance. If Contracting Party is a contractor
performing public works and maintenance projects, as described in this Section 1.3,
Contracting Party shall comply with applicable Federal, State, and local laws. Contracting
Party is aware of the requirements of California Labor Code Sections 1720, et seq., and
1770, et seq., as well as California Code of Regulations, Title 8, Sections 16000, et seq.,
(collectively, the "Prevailing Wage Laws"), and La Quinta Municipal Code
Section 3.12.040, which require the payment of prevailing wage rates and the
performance of other requirements on "Public works" and "Maintenance" projects. If the
Services are being performed as part of an applicable "Public works" or "Maintenance"
project, as defined by the Prevailing Wage Laws, and if construction work over twenty-
five thousand dollars ($25,000.00) and/or alterations, demolition, repair or maintenance
work over fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000.00) is entered into or extended on or after
January 1, 2015 by this Agreement, Contracting Party agrees to fully comply with such
Prevailing Wage Laws including, but not limited to, requirements related to the
maintenance of payroll records and the employment of apprentices. Pursuant to
California Labor Code Section 1725.5, no contractor or subcontractor may be awarded a
contract for public work on a "Public works" project unless registered with the California
Department of Industrial Relations ("DIR") at the time the contract is awarded. If the
Services are being performed as part of an applicable "Public works" or "Maintenance"
project, as defined by the Prevailing Wage Laws, this project is subject to compliance
monitoring and enforcement by the DIR. Contracting Party will maintain and will require
all subcontractors to maintain valid and current DIR Public Works contractor registration
during the term of this Agreement. Contracting Party shall notify City in writing
immediately, and in no case more than twenty-four (24) hours, after receiving any
information that Contracting Party's or any of its subcontractor's DIR registration status
has been suspended, revoked, expired, or otherwise changed. It is understood that it is
the responsibility of Contracting Party to determine the correct salary scale. Contracting
Party shall make copies of the prevailing rates of per diem wages for each craft,
classification, or type of worker needed to execute the Services available to interested
parties upon request, and shall post copies at Contracting Party's principal place of
business and at the project site, if any. The statutory penalties for failure to pay prevailing
wage or to comply with State wage and hour laws will be enforced. Contracting Party
must forfeit to City TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS ($25.00) per day for each worker who
works in excess of the minimum working hours when Contracting Party does not pay
overtime. In accordance with the provisions of Labor Code Sections 1810 et seq., eight
(8) hours is the legal working day. Contracting Party also shall comply with State law
requirements to maintain payroll records and shall provide for certified records and
inspection of records as required by California Labor Code Section 1770 et seq., including
Section 1776. In addition to the other indemnities provided under this Agreement,
Contracting Party shall defend (with counsel selected by City), indemnify, and hold City,
Exhibit A
Page 2 of 4
its elected officials, officers, employees, and agents free and harmless from any claim or
liability arising out of any failure or alleged failure to comply with the Prevailing Wage
Laws. It is agreed by the parties that, in connection with performance of the Services,
including, without limitation, any and all "Public works" (as defined by the Prevailing Wage
Laws), Contracting Party shall bear all risks of payment or non-payment of prevailing
wages under California law and/or the implementation of Labor Code Section 1781, as
the same may be amended from time to time, and/or any other similar law. Contracting
Party acknowledges and agrees that it shall be independently responsible for reviewing
the applicable laws and regulations and effectuating compliance with such laws.
Contracting Party shall require the same of all subcontractors.
2. Retention. Payments shall be made in accordance with the provisions of
Article 2.0 of the Agreement. In accordance with said Sections, City shall pay Contracting
Party a sum based upon ninety-five percent (95%) of the Contract Sum apportionment of
the labor and materials incorporated into the Services under this Agreement during the
month covered by said invoice. The remaining five percent (5%) thereof shall be retained
as performance security to be paid to Contracting Party within sixty (60) days after final
acceptance of the Services by the City Council of City, after Contracting Party has
furnished City with a full release of all undisputed payments under this Agreement, if
required by City. In the event there are any claims specifically excluded by Contracting
Party from the operation of the release, City may retain proceeds (per Public Contract
Code § 7107) of up to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the amount in dispute. City's
failure to deduct or withhold shall not affect Contracting Party's obligations under the
Agreement.
3. Utility Relocation. City is responsible for removal, relocation, or protection
of existing main or trunk -line utilities to the extent such utilities were not identified in the
invitation for bids or specifications. City shall reimburse Contracting Party for any costs
incurred in locating, repairing damage not caused by Contracting Party, and removing or
relocating such unidentified utility facilities. Contracting Party shall not be assessed
liquidated damages for delay arising from the removal or relocation of such unidentified
utility facilities.
4. Trenches or Excavations. Pursuant to California Public Contract Code
Section 7104, in the event the work included in this Agreement requires excavations more
than four (4) feet in depth, the following shall apply:
(a) Contracting Party shall promptly, and before the following conditions
are disturbed, notify City, in writing, of any: (1) material that Contracting Party believes
may be material that is hazardous waste, as defined in Section 25117 of the Health and
Safety Code, that is required to be removed to a Class I, Class II, or Class III disposal site
in accordance with provisions of existing law; (2) subsurface or latent physical conditions
at the site different from those indicated by information about the site made available to
bidders prior to the deadline for submitting bids; or (3) unknown physical conditions at the
site of any unusual nature, different materially from those ordinarily encountered and
generally recognized as inherent in work of the character provided for in the Agreement.
Exhibit A
Page 3 of 4
(b) City shall promptly investigate the conditions, and if it finds that the
conditions do materially so differ, or do involve hazardous waste, and cause a decrease
or increase in Contracting Party's cost of, or the time required for, performance of any
part of the work shall issue a change order per Section 1.8 of the Agreement.
(c) in the event that a dispute arises between City and Contracting Party
whether the conditions materially differ, or involve hazardous waste, or cause a decrease
or increase in Contracting Party's cost of, or time required for, performance of any part of
the work, Contracting Party shall not be excused from any scheduled completion date
provided for by this Agreement, but shall proceed with all work to be performed under this
Agreement. Contracting Party shall retain any and all rights provided either by contract
or by law which pertain to the resolution of disputes and protests between the contracting
Parties.
5. Safety. Contracting Party shall execute and maintain its work so as to avoid
injury or damage to any person or property. In carrying out the Services, Contracting
Party shall at all times be in compliance with all applicable local, state, and federal laws,
rules and regulations, and shall exercise all necessary precautions for the safety of
employees appropriate to the nature of the work and the conditions under which the work
is to be performed. Safety precautions as applicable shall include, but shall not be limited
to: (A) adequate life protection and lifesaving equipment and procedures; (B) instructions
in accident prevention for all employees and subcontractors, such as safe walkways,
scaffolds, fall protection ladders, bridges, gang planks, confined space procedures,
trenching and shoring, equipment and other safety devices, equipment and wearing
apparel as are necessary or lawfully required to prevent accidents or injuries; and
(C) adequate facilities for the proper inspection and maintenance of all safety measures.
6. Liquidated Damages. Since the determination of actual damages for any
delay in performance of the Agreement would be extremely difficult or impractical to
determine in the event of a breach of this Agreement, Contracting Party shall be liable for
and shall pay to City the sum of One Thousand dollars ($1,000.00) as liquidated damages
for each working day of delay in the performance of any of the Services required
hereunder, as specified in the Schedule of Performance. In addition, liquidated damages
may be assessed for failure to comply with the emergency call out requirements, if any,
described in the Scope of Services. City may withhold from any moneys payable on
account of the Services performed by Contracting Party any accrued liquidated damages.

RE: Revised Proposal for Residential Property Management Services — Dune Palms Mobile Home
Estates
Dear Mr. Kinley:
Frontline Facility Solutions LLC (FFS) is pleased to submit this revised proposal for residential property
management services at Dune Palms Mobile Home Estates. This updated submission reflects the City's
priorities for cost efficiency, transparency, and regulatory compliance while maintaining a high standard of
service for residents.
In this revision, FFS has restructured the Base Property Management Fee to $14,900 per month,
representing a fully burdened staffing model with a 12% operating margin. This fee includes on -site
management, routine maintenance, resident relations, financial reporting, and full compliance with
California's Mobilehome Residency Law (MRL). Landscaping services are not included in the base fee;
instead, FFS will competitively bid and requested services upon award of contract and present actual
vendor pricing to the Authority for approval. This ensures transparency and protects the City from inflated
or inaccurate estimates.
As a Service -Disabled Veteran -Owned Small Business headquartered in Southern California, FFS brings
a unique combination of licensed real estate expertise, large-scale property and facilities management
experience, and direct experience managing federally regulated housing. Our COO, Timothy Stone, holds

interest

agreement without exception.

E.3 General Conditions Pertaining
Contracting Party. Contracting Party and
insurance provided by Contracting Party:
to Provisions of Insurance Coverage by
City agree to the following with respect to
Exhibit E
Page 3 of 6
1. 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.
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. 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.
7. Proof of compliance with these insurance requirements, consisting of
certificates of insurance evidencing all 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.
8. 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.
9. 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
Exhibit E
Page 4 of 6
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.
10. 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.
11. 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.
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. 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 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.
15. 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 an additional insured endorsement is 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.
Exhibit E
Page 5 of 6
16. 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.
17. 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.
18. 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.
19. 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.
20. 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.
21. Contracting Party agrees to provide immediate notice to City of any claim

liability thereof) in the performance of professional services under this agreement. With

City's active negligence accounts for only a percentage of the liability involved, the
obligation of Contracting Party will be for that entire portion or percentage of liability not
attributable to the active negligence of City.

Contracting Party in the performance of this Agreement. In the event Contracting Party
fails to obtain such indemnity obligations from others as required herein, Contracting
Party agrees to be fully responsible according to the terms of this Exhibit. Failure of City

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
In 2021, the Authority acquired the Park to preserve and operate the property as an
affordable housing resource serving low-income residents. On March 16, 2021, the
Authority approved an agreement with J&H to provide property management services
which was subsequently extended through June 30, 2026.
In anticipation of the agreement's expiration, staff issued an RFP in January 2026 for
Residential Property Management Services for the Park and received 4 proposals. Staff
interviewed all 4 firms and selected FFS based on their experience and qualifications.
FSS is California based, and Service -Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business with
demonstrated expertise in property management and Mobilehome Residency Law (MRL)
compliance.
At the April 9, 2026, special meeting, the Housing Commission reviewed the proposed
agreement and recommended Authority approval.
If approved, the proposed agreement will commence June 1, 2026, 1 month prior to the
expiration of the J&H contract to allow for the seamless and structured transition of
services and all property records. Per the Schedule of Performance (Exhibit C to the
agreement), FFS's mobilization phase (June 1-14) includes obtaining required licenses
and permits, coordinating with the outgoing manager, and reviewing existing leases,
vendor contracts, and financial records. FFS will assume property and operational
management of the Park effective July 1, 2026, with a resident community meeting to be
held within 30 days of service commencement and annually thereafter.
FFS will provide dedicated 24/7 emergency response via licensed vendors, MRL
compliance, dedicated on -site staffing with a property manager 32-36 hours per week
(Monday —Friday), and a maintenance worker 32 hours per week (Monday —Thursday),
with supplemental coverage on Fridays provided by additional vendors for inspections,
minor repairs, and resident support.
ALTERNATIVES
The Authority may elect not to approve the proposed agreement with FFS; however, this
alternative is not recommended in order to ensure a smooth transition of services with a
qualified firm.
