Addendum No. 1 to Contract Documents - Long Beach Public Utilities Department

This Addendum No. 1 is issued by the Long Beach Public Utilities Department for the Alamitos 9A & Alamitos 14 Pump-to-Waste Drain Line Project (Specifications No. WD-17-24, Drawing No. EO-3715). The addendum makes clarifications, additions, and deletions to the original contract documents and specifications. The bid receipt deadline has been extended from June 26, 2025, to July 3, 2025, at 2:00 PM for electronic submission through the City's online procurement portal at https://longbeachbuys.buyspeed.com/bso/ using keyword WD-17-24. The Engineer's estimate for the project is $745,225. Contractors must possess a valid California Class "A" General Engineering Contractor license at the time of contract award; the previous requirement for a C-33 Painting and Decorating Contractor license has been removed from the specifications. All electronic bids must be accompanied by a scanned copy of the full bid, Bidder's Bond, a notarized Non-collusion Affidavit, and a completed Equal Benefits Ordinance form.

The addendum adds the City of Long Beach's Equal Benefits Ordinance (EBO) certification requirements as a condition of contract award. The EBO applies to for-profit employers with contracts valued at $100,000 or more and requires contractors to provide equal benefits to employees with spouses and domestic partners, including health benefits, bereavement leave, family medical leave, retirement benefits, and travel benefits. Contractors subject to the EBO must certify compliance by completing the EBO Certification Form before contract execution or provide proof of a waiver. Failure to comply with the EBO after applicable implementation deadlines may result in material breach of contract, contract termination, disqualification from future City contracts for three years, and assessment of liquidated damages. The addendum also addresses site-specific operational considerations, including coordination with Long Beach Parks staff for tree trimming and root removal, coordination with Long Beach Public Works regarding partial closure of E. De Ora Way, and adherence to the City of Long Beach Noise Ordinance (Appendix C).

EQUAL BENEFITS ORDINANCE

As a condition of being awarded a contract with the City of Long Beach ("City"), the selected Consultant/Consultant ("Consultant") may be required during the performance of the Contract, to comply with the City's nondiscrimination provisions of the Equal Benefits Ordinance ("EBO") set forth in the Long Beach Municipal Code section 2.73 et seq. The EBO requires that during the performance of the contract, the Consultant shall provide equal benefits to its employees with spouses and employees with domestic partners. Benefits include but are not limited to, health benefits, bereavement leave, family medical leave, membership and membership discounts, moving expenses, retirement benefits and travel benefits. A cash equivalent payment is permitted if an employer has made all reasonable efforts to provide domestic partners with access to benefits but is unable to do so. A situation in which a cash equivalent payment might be used if where the employer has difficulty finding an insurance provider that is willing to provide domestic partner benefits.

The EBO is applicable to the following employers:

• For-profit employers that have a contract with the City for the purchase of goods, services, public works or improvements and other construction projects in the amount of $100,000 or more

• For-profit entities that generate $350,000 or more in annual gross receipts leasing City property pursuant to a written agreement for a term exceeding 29 days in any calendar year

Consultants who are subject to the EBO must certify to the City before execution of the contract that they are in compliance with the EBO by completing the EBO Certification Form, attached, or that they have been issued a waiver by the City. Consultants must also allow authorized City representatives access to records so the City can verify compliance with the EBO.

The EBO includes provisions that address difficulties associated with implementing procedures to comply with the EBO. Consultants can delay implementation of procedures to comply with the EBO in the following circumstances

1. By the first effective date after the first open enrollment process following the contract start date, not to exceed two years, if the Consultant/Consultant submits evidence of taking reasonable measures to comply with the EBO; or

2. At such time that the administrative steps can be taken to incorporate nondiscrimination in benefits in the Consultant/Consultant's infrastructure, not to exceed three months; or

3. Upon expiration of the Consultant's current collective bargaining agreement(s).

AD1-8

Compliance with the EBO

If a Consultant has not received a waiver from complying with the EBO and the timeframe within which it can delay implementation has expired but it has failed to comply with the EBO, the Consultant may be deemed to be in material breach of the Contract. In the event of a material breach, the City may cancel, terminate or suspend the City agreement, in whole or in part. The City also may deem the Consultant an irresponsible bidder and disqualify the Consultant from contracting with the City for a period of three years. In addition, the City may assess liquidated damages against the Consultant which may be deducted from money otherwise due the Consultant. The City may also pursue any other remedies available at law or in equity.

By my signature below, I acknowledge that the Consultant understands that to the extent it is subject to the provisions of the Long Beach Municipal Code section 2.73, the Consultant shall comply with this provision.
