MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Jeremy Laurentowski, Parks and Recreation Director
BY: Leland Baxter, Parks and Facilities Supervisor
DATE: 06/01/2022 Regular Meeting
SUBJECT: Consider Award of Agreement to Parkwood Landscape Maintenance,
Inc. for Landscape Maintenance Services in Landscape Maintenance
District (LMD) Citywide Zones, Zones of Benefit 1-11, and 14, and
Miscellaneous City Properties
SUMMARY
It is requested that the City Council consider award of an Agreement with Parkwood
Landscape Maintenance, Inc. (Parkwood) in the amount of $415,488 annually for landscape
maintenance services in Citywide, Zones of Benefit, and Miscellaneous City Properties.
BACKGROUND
In 1984, Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance Assessment District No. AD 84-2,
encompassing the entire City (AD 84-2), was created to fund costs associated with street
lighting and the maintenance of various landscaped areas in the City. This was a successor
to the District enacted by the County of Ventura prior to the incorporation of the City. In
subsequent years, Zones of Benefit (Zones) were added to fund improvements and the
maintenance of certain specific areas. Later, these Zones were changed to Districts 1
through 12.
Since 1984, the City has formed additional Assessment Districts to fund the maintenance of
associated landscape improvements. These include the following active Districts: District
14 (Silver Oak Lane Tract 5201); District 15 A / B (Country Club Estates Tract 4928 / Masters
at Moorpark Country Club Tract 5463); District 16 (Mountain View Tract 5166); District 18
(Moonsong Court Tract 5307); District 20 (Meridian Hills Tract 5187), District 21 A / B
(Canterbury Lane Tract 5133 / Ivy Lane Tract 5425), and District 22 (Moorpark Highlands
Tract 5045).
Item: 10.F.

Honorable City Council
06/01/2022 Regular Meeting

AD 84-2, which includes the Citywide Zone and Districts 1 through 12, was adopted prior
to the passage of Proposition 218, which does not provide a provision for increasing the
annual assessment without a vote of the affected property owners. For the remaining
districts that were adopted after the passage of Proposition 218, the language in the
formation documents allows the maximum assessment to be increased annually to cover
cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) increases.
The Citywide Zone and Districts 1 through 11, and 14 generally require a subsidy from
the General Fund each year for landscape maintenance operations, while Districts 12,
15, 16, 18, 20, 21 and 22 are fully funded and do not require a General Fund subsidy.
This is reflected in the Landscape and Lighting Maintenance Assessment Districts
(LLMAD) Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year (FY) 2022/23, presented to Council on May
4, 2022, which shows an estimated operating deficit in the Citywide Zone and Districts 1
through 11, and 14 (hereafter the “underfunded LMDs”) of $334,269.
In August of 2018 the City Council approved an agreement with Venco Western, Inc. for
landscape maintenance services in LMD Citywide Zones, Zones of Benefit 1-11, 14, 16, 18,
21, and miscellaneous City properties with an initial term ending June 30, 2019 and
containing a provision for two (2) one-year extensions, expiring on June 30, 2021.
During the adoption of the FY 2020/21 Operating Budget, the City projected significant
revenue shortfalls due to the COVID-19 health emergency. In response, the City Council
approved redistributing landscape maintenance services among the contractual service
areas so that service level modifications could be implemented to reduce costs in those
underfunded LMDs that generally require an annual General Fund subsidy. Service levels
in the fully funded LMDs 12, 15, 16, 18, 20, 21 and LMD 22 were not affected by this
redistribution, and landscape maintenance standards did not change in these areas. The
scope of services modifications were approved by City Council in September 2020. In
October 2020, an Amendment to the Agreement with Venco Western was executed at a
savings of approximately $50,000 annually. The Agreement was subsequently Amended
to extend the term of the Agreement through June 30, 2022.
Notable scope of services modifications included changes to the mowing frequency in
passive parks from weekly to every other week, and changes to the weeding frequency from
weekly to monthly, including the use of chemical herbicides. Additionally, shrub pruning was
changed from as necessary to monthly, fertilization was removed from the contract in order
to keep turf areas from growing too quickly between mowings, debris and litter removal was
changed from daily to weekly, and irrigation materials were removed from the contractor’s
responsibilities and purchased directly by in-house staff to save on overhead charges.
DISCUSSION
With the current landscape maintenance contract for LMD Citywide Zones, Zones of Benefit
1-11, and 14, and miscellaneous City properties scheduled to expire at the end of June, staff
prepared and released a Request for Proposals (RFP) for landscape maintenance services
247
Honorable City Council
06/01/2022 Regular Meeting
Page 3
on April 13, 2022. The bid specifications outlined in the RFP restore landscape maintenance
service levels back to the level of service established prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. A
mandatory pre-bid meeting and site visit with interested bidders was conducted on May 5th.
The City received four proposals by the due date of May 16, 2022. Proposal solicitation and
review was conducted in accordance with City Council Resolution No. 2019-3829 governing
the procurement of contractual services. The bid results are summarized below:
Contractor Name Proposal (Annual Cost)
Parkwood Landscape Maintenance $345,324
Oakridge Landscape $410,088
BrightView Landscape Services $481,020
Venco Western $499,092
The lowest bid was submitted by Parkwood Landscape Maintenance (Parkwood).
Parkwood currently provides landscape maintenance services for the City in LMD Zone 22.
Staff believes that they have the necessary qualifications and experience to perform the
required services.
After the identification of Parkwood as the low bidder, staff requested a quote from Parkwood
for additional services related to landscape maintenance in Citywide Zone of Benefit 15,
Peter’s Trail (CW15), which was not included in the bid specifications. Parkwood’s annual
cost to provide services in this area would be $16,164. Adding this service area to the
contract would bring the total annual cost for services to $361,488. Staff recommends
including this additional service area in the contract and awarding an Agreement to
Parkwood for landscape maintenance services for LMD Citywide Zones, Zones of Benefit
1-11, and 14, and miscellaneous City properties in the amount of $415,488 per year,
which includes an annual contingency of $54,000. The recommended contract includes
three (3) optional one-year extensions, which would bring the total contract value over
four years to $1,661,952.
FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed budget for FY 2022/23 allocates a total of $291,568 for landscape
maintenance services in the LMD Citywide Zones, Zones of Benefit, LMDs 1-11 and 14,
and miscellaneous City properties. An aggregate budget amendment in the amount of
$70,294, to be implemented following adoption of the FY 2022/23 budget and the start of
the fiscal year, is requested to fully fund landscape maintenance services in these
underfunded Zones for FY 2022/23, as detailed in Attachment 2. The resulting projected
increase in the General Fund subsidy for the underfunded LMDs would be about $34,968
in FY 2023/24 for the various districts. Additional budget amendments from various
accounts are requested in the following amounts: $17,127 – General Fund (1000), $877
– Library Operating Fund (1010), $1,181 – City-Wide Traffic Mitigation (2002), $16,141 –
Local TDA Article 8C (2414).

Honorable City Council

Allocation of the requested funds would leave an estimated fund balance of $1,517,390
in Fund 1010, an estimated fund balance of $20,580,443 in Fund 2002, and an estimated
fund deficit of $59,398 in Fund 2414.
COUNCIL GOAL COMPLIANCE
This action does not support a current strategic directive.

of action, claims, liabilities, obligations, judgments, or damages, including reasonable
253
Parkwood Landscape Maintenance, Inc. Page 5 of 18
legal counsels’ fees and costs of litigation (“claims”), arising out of the Contractor’s
performance of its obligations under this Agreement or out of the operations conducted
by Contractor, including the City’s active or passive negligence, except for such loss or
damage arising from the sole negligence or willful misconduct of the City. In the event the
City Indemnitees are made a party to any action, lawsuit, or other adversarial proceeding
arising from Contractor’s performance of this Agreement, the Contractor shall provide a
defense to the City Indemnitees or at the City’s option reimburse the City Indemnitees
their costs of defense, including reasonable legal counsels’ fees incurred in defense of
such claims.
Contractor agrees to obtain executed indemnity agreements with provisions
identical to those set forth 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 Agreement. 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 Agreement or this
Section.
City does not and shall not waive any rights that it may have against Contractor by
reason of this Section, because of the acceptance by City, or the deposit with City, of any
insurance policy or certificate required pursuant to this Agreement. The hold harmless
and indemnification provisions shall apply regardless of whether or not said insurance
policies are determined to be applicable to any losses, liabilities, damages, costs, and
expenses described in this Section.
This Indemnity shall survive termination of the Agreement or Final Payment
hereunder. This Indemnity is in addition to any other rights or remedies that the
Indemnitees 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 Agreement 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 Indemnitees’ interests. City shall, in its sole
discretion, determine whether such assurances are reasonable.
11. INSURANCE
Contractor shall maintain prior to the beginning of and for the duration of this
Agreement insurance coverage as specified in Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated
herein by this reference as though set forth in full.
12. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR
Contractor is and shall at all times remain as to the City a wholly independent
Contractor. The personnel performing the services under this Agreement on behalf of

Contractor or any of Contractor’s officers, employees, or agents, except as set forth in
this Agreement. Contractor shall not at any time or in any manner represent that it or any
of its officers, employees, or agents are in any manner officers, employees, or agents of
the City. Contractor shall not incur or have the power to incur any debt, obligation, or
liability against City, or bind City in any manner.
No employee benefits shall be available to Contractor in connection with the
performance of this Agreement. Except for the fees paid to Contractor as provided in the
Agreement, City shall not pay salaries, wages, or other compensation to Contractor for
performing services hereunder for City. City shall not be liable for compensation or
indemnification to Contractor for injury or sickness arising out of performing services
hereunder.
13. LEGAL RESPONSIBILITIES
The Contractor shall keep itself informed of local, state and federal laws and
regulations which in any manner affect those employed by it or in any way affect the
performance of its service pursuant to this Agreement. The Contractor shall at all times
observe and comply with all such laws and regulations, including but not limited to the
Americans with Disabilities Act and Occupational Safety and Health Administration laws
and regulations. The City and Contractor shall comply with Exhibit B, California Public
Contract Code Section 9204, when applicable. The City, and its officers and employees,
shall not be liable at law or in equity occasioned by failure of the Contractor to comply
with this Section.
14. ANTI DISCRIMINATION
Neither the Contractor, nor any subcontractor under the Contractor, shall
discriminate in employment of persons upon the work because of race, religious creed,
color, national origin, ancestry, physical disability, mental disability, medical condition,
genetic information, marital status, sex, gender, gender identity, gender expression, age,
sexual orientation, or military and veteran status of such person; or any other basis
protected by applicable federal, state, or local law, except as provided in Section 12940
of the Government Code. The Contractor shall have responsibility for compliance with
this Section, if applicable [Labor Code Sec. 1735].

Exhibit A
INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS
Prior to the beginning of and throughout the duration of Work, Contractor will maintain
insurance in conformance with the requirements set forth below. Contractor will use
existing coverage to comply with these requirements. If that existing coverage does not
meet requirements set forth here, Contractor agrees to amend, supplement or endorse
the existing coverage to do so. Contractor acknowledges that the insurance coverage
and policy limits set forth in this section constitute the minimum amount of coverage
required. Any insurance proceeds available to the City in excess of the limits and
coverage required in this Agreement and which is applicable to a given loss, will be
available to the City.
Contractor shall provide the following types and amounts of insurance:
Commercial General Liability Insurance using Insurance Services Office (ISO)
“Commercial General Liability” policy form CG 00 01 or the exact equivalent. Defense
costs must be paid in addition to limits. There shall be no cross liability exclusion for claims
or suits by one insured against another. Limits are subject to review but in no event less
than $1,000,000 per occurrence for all covered losses and no less than $2,000,000
general aggregate.
Business Auto Coverage on ISO Business Auto Coverage form CA 00 01 including
symbol 1 (Any Auto) or the exact equivalent. Limits are subject to review, but in no event
to be less than $1,000,000 per accident. If Contractor owns no vehicles, this requirement
may be satisfied by a non-owned auto endorsement to the general liability policy
described above. If Contractor or Contractor’s employees will use personal autos in any
way on this project, Contractor shall provide evidence of personal auto liability for each
such person.
Workers’ Compensation on a state-approved policy form providing statutory benefits as
required by law with employer’s liability limits no less than $1,000,000 per accident or
disease.
Excess or Umbrella Liability Insurance (Over Primary) if used to meet limit requirements,
shall provide coverage at least as broad as specified for the underlying coverages.
Coverage shall be provided on a “pay on behalf” basis, with defense costs payable in
addition to policy limits. Policy shall contain a provision obligating insurer at the time
insured’s liability is determined, not requiring actual payment by the insured first. There
shall be no cross liability exclusion precluding coverage for claims or suits by one insured
against another. Coverage shall be applicable to the City for injury to employees of
Contractor, subcontractors or others involved in the Work. The scope of coverage
provided is subject to approval by the City following receipt of proof of insurance as
required herein. Limits are subject to review.
260
Parkwood Landscape Maintenance, Inc. Page 12 of 18
Insurance procured pursuant to these requirements shall be written by insurers that are
admitted carriers in the State of California and with an A.M. Bests rating of A- or better
and a minimum financial size of VII.
General conditions pertaining to provision of insurance coverage by Contractor.
Contractor and the City agree to the following with respect to insurance provided by
Contractor:
1. Contractor agrees to have its insurer endorse the third party general liability
coverage required herein to include as additional insureds the City, its officials,
employees, and agents, using standard ISO endorsement CG 2010 and CG 2037
with edition acceptable to the City. Contractor also agrees to require all contractors
and subcontractors to do likewise.
2. No liability insurance coverage provided to comply with this Agreement shall
prohibit Contractor, or Contractor’s employees, or agents, from waiving the right to
subrogation prior to a loss. Contractor agrees to waive subrogation rights against
the 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 Contractor 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 the City or
its operation limits the application of such insurance coverage.
4. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these
requirements if they include limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been
first submitted to the City and approved 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. Contractor shall not make
any reductions in scope of coverage (e.g. elimination of contractual liability or
reduction of discovery period) that may affect the City’s protection without the
City’s prior written consent.
7. Proof of compliance with these insurance requirements, consisting of certificates
of insurance evidencing all of the coverages required and an additional insured
endorsement to Contractor’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 or reduced
at any time and no replacement coverage is provided, the 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
261
Parkwood Landscape Maintenance, Inc. Page 13 of 18
by the City shall be charged to and promptly paid by Contractor or deducted from
sums due Contractor, at the City’s option.
8. Certificate(s) are to reflect that the insurer will provide 30 days notice to the City of
any cancellation or reduction of coverage. Contractor agrees to require its insurer
to modify such certificates to delete any exculpatory wording stating that failure of
the insurer to mail written notice of cancellation or reduction of coverage imposes
no obligation, or that any party will “endeavor” (as opposed to being required) to
comply with the requirements of the certificate.
9. It is acknowledged by the parties of this Agreement that all insurance coverage
required to be provided by Contractor 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 the City.
10. Contractor agrees to ensure that subcontractors, and any other party involved with
the Work who is brought onto or involved in the Work by Contractor, provide the
same minimum insurance required of Contractor. Contractor 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. Contractor
agrees that upon request, all agreements with subcontractors and others engaged
in the Work will be submitted to the City for review.
11. Contractor agrees not to self-insure or to use any self-insured retentions or
deductibles on any portion of the insurance required herein 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 contemplated by this
Agreement to self-insure its obligations to the City. If Contractor’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 Contractor, 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 the Agreement to change
the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the Contractor 90 days
advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial
additional cost to the Contractor, the City will negotiate additional compensation
proportional to the increased benefit to the 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. Contractor acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part
of the City to inform Contractor of non-compliance with an insurance requirement
in no way imposes any additional obligations to the City nor does it waive any rights
hereunder in this or any other regard.
262
Parkwood Landscape Maintenance, Inc. Page 14 of 18
15. Contractor will renew the required coverage annually as long as the 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 the
City executes a written statement to that effect.
16. Contractor 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
Contractor’s insurance agent to this effect is acceptable. A certificate of insurance
and/or additional insured endorsement as required in these specification
applicable to the renewing or new coverage must be provided to the City within
five days of the expiration of coverage.
17. The provisions of any Workers’ Compensation or similar act will not limit the
obligations of Contractor under this Agreement. Contractor expressly agrees not
to use any statutory immunity defenses under such laws with respect to the City,
its employees, officials, and agents.
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 section supersede all other sections and provisions of this
Agreement to the extent that any other section or provision conflicts or impairs the
provisions of this section.
21. Contractor agrees to be responsible for ensuring that no contract used by any party
involved in any way with the Work reserves the right to charge the City or
Contractor for the cost of additional insurance coverage required by this
Agreement. Any such provisions are to be deleted with reference to the City. It is
not the intent of the City to reimburse any third party for the cost of complying with
these requirements. There shall be no recourse against the City for payment of
premiums or other amounts with respect thereto.
22. Contractor agrees to provide immediate notice to City of any claim or loss against
Contractor arising out of the work performed under this Agreement. The City
assumes no obligation or liability by such notice, but has the right (but not the duty)
263
Parkwood Landscape Maintenance, Inc. Page 15 of 18
to monitor the handling of any such claim or claims if they are likely to involve the
City.
23. Contractor agrees to obtain and provide to City a copy of Professional Liability
coverage for Architects or Engineers on this project, when required by City. City
shall determine the liability limit.

EXHIBIT B
PUBLIC CONTRACT CODE SECTION 9204
9204. (a) The Legislature finds and declares that it is in the best interests of the state
and its citizens to ensure that all construction business performed on a public works
project in the state that is complete and not in dispute is paid in full and in a timely
manner.
(b) Notwithstanding any other law, including, but not limited to, Article 7.1 (commencing
with Section 10240) of Chapter 1 of Part 2, Chapter 10 (commencing with Section
19100) of Part 2, and Article 1.5 (commencing with Section 20104) of Chapter 1 of Part

(commencing with Section 7000) of Division 3 of the Business and Professions Code
who either is in direct contract with a contractor or is a lower tier subcontractor.
(d) (1) (A) Upon receipt of a claim pursuant to this section, the public entity to which the
claim applies shall conduct a reasonable review of the claim and, within a period not to
exceed 45 days, shall provide the claimant a written statement identifying what portion
of the claim is disputed and what portion is undisputed. Upon receipt of a claim, a public
entity and a contractor may, by mutual agreement, extend the time period provided in
this subdivision.
(B) The claimant shall furnish reasonable documentation to support the claim.
(C) If the public entity needs approval from its governing body to provide the claimant a
written statement identifying the disputed portion and the undisputed portion of the
claim, and the governing body does not meet within the 45 days or within the mutually
agreed to extension of time following receipt of a claim sent by registered mail or
certified mail, return receipt requested, the public entity shall have up to three days
following the next duly publicly noticed meeting of the governing body after the 45-day
period, or extension, expires to provide the claimant a written statement identifying the
disputed portion and the undisputed portion.
(D) Any payment due on an undisputed portion of the claim shall be processed and
made within 60 days after the public entity issues its written statement. If the public
entity fails to issue a written statement, paragraph (3) shall apply.
(2) (A) If the claimant disputes the public entity’s written response, or if the public entity
fails to respond to a claim issued pursuant to this section within the time prescribed, the
claimant may demand in writing an informal conference to meet and confer for
settlement of the issues in dispute. Upon receipt of a demand in writing sent by
registered mail or certified mail, return receipt requested, the public entity shall schedule

claimant shall mutually agree to a mediator within 10 business days after the disputed
portion of the claim has been identified in writing. If the parties cannot agree upon a
mediator, each party shall select a mediator and those mediators shall select a qualified
neutral third party to mediate with regard to the disputed portion of the claim. Each party
shall bear the fees and costs charged by its respective mediator in connection with the
selection of the neutral mediator. If mediation is unsuccessful, the parts of the claim
remaining in dispute shall be subject to applicable procedures outside this section.
(C) For purposes of this section, mediation includes any nonbinding process, including,
but not limited to, neutral evaluation or a dispute review board, in which an independent
third party or board assists the parties in dispute resolution through negotiation or by

section.
266
Parkwood Landscape Maintenance, Inc. Page 18 of 18
(D) Unless otherwise agreed to by the public entity and the contractor in writing, the
mediation conducted pursuant to this section shall excuse any further obligation under
Section 20104.4 to mediate after litigation has been commenced.
(E) This section does not preclude a public entity from requiring arbitration of disputes
under private arbitration or the Public Works Contract Arbitration Program, if mediation
under this section does not resolve the parties’ dispute.
(3) Failure by the public entity to respond to a claim from a contractor within the time
periods described in this subdivision or to otherwise meet the time requirements of this
section shall result in the claim being deemed rejected in its entirety. A claim that is
denied by reason of the public entity’s failure to have responded to a claim, or its failure
to otherwise meet the time requirements of this section, shall not constitute an adverse
finding with regard to the merits of the claim or the responsibility or qualifications of the
claimant.
(4) Amounts not paid in a timely manner as required by this section shall bear interest at
7 percent per annum.
(5) If a subcontractor or a lower tier subcontractor lacks legal standing to assert a claim
against a public entity because privity of contract does not exist, the contractor may
present to the public entity a claim on behalf of a subcontractor or lower tier
subcontractor. A subcontractor may request in writing, either on their own behalf or on
behalf of a lower tier subcontractor, that the contractor present a claim for work which
was performed by the subcontractor or by a lower tier subcontractor on behalf of the
subcontractor. The subcontractor requesting that the claim be presented to the public
entity shall furnish reasonable documentation to support the claim. Within 45 days of
receipt of this written request, the contractor shall notify the subcontractor in writing as
to whether the contractor presented the claim to the public entity and, if the original
contractor did not present the claim, provide the subcontractor with a statement of the
reasons for not having done so.
(e) The text of this section or a summary of it shall be set forth in the plans or
specifications for any public works project that may give rise to a claim under this
section.
(f) A waiver of the rights granted by this section is void and contrary to public policy,
provided, however, that (1) upon receipt of a claim, the parties may mutually agree to
waive, in writing, mediation and proceed directly to the commencement of a civil action
or binding arbitration, as applicable; and (2) a public entity may prescribe reasonable
change order, claim, and dispute resolution procedures and requirements in addition to
the provisions of this section, so long as the contractual provisions do not conflict with or
otherwise impair the timeframes and procedures set forth in this section.
(g) This section applies to contracts entered into on or after January 1, 2017.
(h) Nothing in this section shall impose liability upon a public entity that makes loans or
grants available through a competitive application process, for the failure of an awardee
to meet its contractual obligations.
(i) This section shall remain in effect only until January 1, 2027, and as of that date is
repealed, unless a later enacted statute that is enacted before January 1, 2027, deletes
or extends that date.
(Amended by Stats. 2019, Ch. 489, Sec. 1. (AB 456) Effective January 1, 2020.
Repealed as of January 1, 2027, by its own provisions.)
