REQUEST FOR DESIGN PROPOSLAS '
CIP 85-137, HIGHLAND AVENUE AND CIP 85-102 VALLEY/ARDMORE AT
GOULD AVENUE -STREET IMPROVEMENTS
Recommendation:
It is recommended that City Council authorize staff to solicit
design proposals for the following projects and issue addendums
as necessary:
a. CIP 85-102 - Widen Highland Avenue
b. CIP 85-137 - Redesign Valley/Ardmore/Gould intersection
Background:
The above referenced projects were approved in the 1986-87 CIP
Budget. These projects are FAU funded (i.e., 86.22% Federally
funded; 13.78% locally funded by the City's State Gas Tax.)
Below is a brief description of each project.
CIP 85-102 - Widen Highland Avenue from Longfellow Avenue to
35th Street
This project will widen the roadway from 30' to 39'; thereby,
providing two 8' parking lanes on each side of the street.
CIP 85-137 - Valley/Ardmore at Gould Avenue
This project will re -align the intersection at Valley/Ardmore and
Gould to better design both the horizontal and vertical
alignments.
Analysis:
Both of these projects were recently determined "categorically
exempt" from further environmental review, by the State of
California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and the
Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). The next step is the
design phase, which must be contracted out to a private
engineering consultant. Staff recommends approval of the attached
Request for Proposals (Exhibit A) and proceeding with the design
phase in accordance with the proposed schedule (Exhibit B).

GENERAL PROVISIONS
Clause 1. Changes in Scope or Complexity of Work
No payment for extra services caused by a change in scope or
complexity of work shall be made, unless and until such extra
services and a price therefor have been authorized in writing and
approved by CITY, CALTRANS and FHWA as a supplemental agreement.
The supplemental agreement shall set forth the changes of work,
extensions of time for preparation and adjustment of the fee to be
paid by CITY to CONSULTANT. Redesign or redrafting necessitated
by conditions beyond the control of CONSULTANT will be considered as
extra work and will be a basis for negotiation of additional fee.
No claim for said additional work shall be made unless specifically
authorized in writing by CITY. All controversies arising out of
the work which cannot be settled by mutual agreement shall be
resolved as provided in the July 1984 Standard Specifications of the
State of California, Department of Transportation (Caltrans) for the
settlement of such disputes.
Clause 2. Specifications
All specifications, manuals, standards, etc., either attached
to this Agreement or incorporated herein by reference, are deemed to
be the issue in effect as of the date of this Agreement and are
binding as to the performance of the work 'specified in this
Agreement unless they are changed by written amendment and this
Agreement modified in writing to incorporate such changes. Any
changes are subject to CALTRANS and FHWA approval.
Clause 3. Termination for Convenience of City
CITY may terminate this Agreement at any time by giving written
notice to CONSULTANT of such termination and specifying the effec-
tive date thereof, at least fifteen (15) days before the effective
date of such termination. In the event, all finished or unfinished
documents and other materials shall, at the option of CITY, become
its property. If this Agreement is terminated by CITY as provided
herein, CONSULTANT will be paid an amount which bears the same ratio
to the total compensation as the services actually performed bear to
the total services of the CONSULTANT covered by this Agreement, less
payments of compensation previously made. The value of the work
performed should be the costs eligible for billing. The ratio
completed should be based on the total estimated cost less fixed fee
and this ratio shall be used to determine the fixed fee payable.
Clause 4. Termination of Agreement for Cause
A. CITY may, subject to the provisions of paragraph "C" of
this Clause 4, by written notice to CONSULTANT, terminate the whole
or any part of this Agreement in any of the following circumstances:

such failure.
B. In the event CITY terminates this Agreement in whole or in
part as provided in paragraph "A" of this Clause 4, CITY may pro-
cure, upon such terms and such manner as he may determine appro-
priate, services similar to those terminated and CONSULTANT shall be

APPENDIX A - GUIDANCE CONCERN I !!8 6000
FA I TH EFFORTS
To determine whether a competitor that has
failed to meet MBE contract goals may receive
the contact, the recipient must decide whether
the efforts the competitor made to obtain MBE
particlpation were "good faith efforts" to meet
the goals. Efforts that are merely pro
forma are not good faith efforts to meet
the goats. Efforts to obtain MBE particlpation
are not good faith efforts to meet the goals,
even If they are sincerely motivated, if, given
all relevant circumstances, they could not
reasonably be expected to produce a level of
MBE participation sufficient to meet the goals.
In order to award a contract to a competitor
that has failed to meet MBE contract goals, the
recipient must determine that the competitor's
efforts were those that, given all relevant
circumstances, a competitor actively and
aggressively seeking to meet the goals would
make.
To assist recipients in makinglthe required
judgment, the Department has prepared a Ilst of
FR -4
the kinds of efforts that contractors may make
in obtaining MBE participation. It is not
Intended to be a.mandatory checklist; the ,De-
partment does not require recipients to insist
that a contractor do any one, or any particular
combination, of the things on the list. Nor Is
the list intended to be exclusive or exhaus-
tive. Other factors or types of efforts may be
relevant in appropriate cases. In determining
whether a contractor has made good faith ef-
forts, it will usually be Important for a
recipient to look not only at the different
kinds of efforts that the contractor has made,
but also the quantity and intensity of these
efforts.
The Department offers the following list of
kinds of efforts that recipients may consider:
(1) Whether the contractor attended any
pre -solicitation or pre-bld meetings that were
scheduled by the recipient to inform MBEs of
contracting and subcontractig opportunities;
(2) Whether the contractor advertised in'
general circulation, trade association, and
minority -focus media concerning the subconract-
Ing opportunities;
(3) Whether the contractor provided written
notice to a reasonable number of specific MBEs
that their Interest In the contract was being
solicited, in sufficient time to allow the MBEs
to participate effectively;
(4) Whether the contractor followed up
Initial solicitations of interest by contacting
MBEs to determine with certainty whether the
MBEs were interested;
(5) Whether the contractor selected por-
tions of the work to be performed by MBEs in
order to increase the likelihood of meeting the
MBE goals (including, where appropriate, break-
ing down contracts into economically feasible
units to facilitate MBE particlpation);
(6) Whether the contractor provided
interested MBEs with adequate information about
the plans, specifications and requirements of
the contract;
(7) Whether the contractor negotiated in
good faith with Interested MBEs, not rejecting
MBEs as unqualified without sound reasons based
on a thorough Investigation of their capa-
bilities; '
(8) Whether the contractor made efforts to
assist interested MBEs in obtaining bonding,
r
4•.
lines of credit, or insurance required by the
recipient or contractor; and
(9) Whether the contractor effectively used
the services of available minority community
organizations; minority contractors' groups;
local, state and Federal minority business
assistance offices; and other organizations
that provide assistance in the recruitment and
placement of MBEs.

523.47 Counting MBE participation toward
meting MBE goals.
MBE participation shall be counted toward
meeting MBE goals set in accordance with this
subpart as follows:
(a) Once a firm is determined to be an
eligible MBE in accordance with this subpart,
the total dollar value of the contract awarded
to the MBE is counted toward the applicable
MBE goals.
• (b) The total dol lar value of a contract to
an MBE owned and controlled by both minority
males and non -minority females Is counted
toward the goals for minorities and women,
respectively, in proportion to the percentage
of ownership and control of each group in the
business. The total dollar value of a con-
tract with an MBE owned and controlled by
minority women Is counted toward either the
minority goal or the goal for women, but not
to both. The contractor or recipient employ-
ing the firm may choose the goal to which the
contract value Is applied.
(c) A recipient or contractor may count
toward Its MBE goals a portion of the total
dollar value of a contract with a Joint ven-
ture eligible under the standards of this
subpart equal to the percentage of the owner-
ship and controls of the MBE partner in the
joint venture.
F R-5
(d)(1) A recipient or contractor may count
toward its MBE goals only expenditures to MBEs
that perform a commercially useful function' In
the work of a contract. M MBE Is considered
to perform a commercially useful function when
it is responsible for execution of a distinct
element of the work of a contract and carrying
out Its responsbllltles by actually perform -
Ing, managing, and supervising the work
Involved. To determine whether an MBE Is
performing a commercially useful function, the
recipient or contractor shall evaluate the
amount of work subcontracted, Industry
practices, and other relevant factors.
(2) Consistent with normal .Industry
practices, an MBE may enter Into subcontracts.
If an MBE contractor subcontracts a
significantly greater portion of the work of
the contract than would be expected on the
basis of normal industry practices, the MBE
shall be presumed not to be performing a
commercially useful function. The MBE may
present evidence to rebut this presumption to
the recipient. The recipient's decision on the
rebuttal of this presumption Is subject to
review by the Department.
(e) A recipient or contractor may count
toward Its MBE goals expenditures for materials
and supplies obtained from MBE suppliers and
manufacturers, provided that the MBEs assume
the actual and contractual responsibility for
the provision of the materials and supplies.
(1) The recipient or contractor may count
its entire expenditure to an MBE manufac-
turer (i.e., a supplier that produces goods
frau raw materials or substantially alters
them before resale).
(2) The recipient may count 20 percent of
Its expenditures to MBE suppliers that are
not manufacturers, provided that the MBE
supplier performs a commercially useful
function In the supply process.

different certification process that DOT has
determined to be as or more effective than the
process provided for by this section. Where
such a process exists, potential MBE contrac-
tors shall submit the Information required by
the recipient's process.
(2) If the potential MBE contractor states
In writing that It has submitted the same
Information to or has been certified by the
DOT recipient involved, any DOT element,
or another Federal agency that uses essen-
tially the same definition and ownership and
control criteria as DOT. The potential MBE
contractor shall obtain the Information and
certification (If any) from the other agency
and submit it to the recipient or cause the
other agency to submit it. The reclplent may
rely upon such a certification. Where another
agency has collected Information butt not made
a determination concerning eligibility, the
Y
DOT recipient.shall make Its own determination
based on the 'Information it has obtained from
the other agency.
(3) If the potential MBE contractor has
been determined by the Small Business Adminis-
tration to be owned and controlled by socially

if it determines the claim to be invalid.
(2) An eligible minority business enterprise
under this part shall be an Independent
business. The ownership and control by
minorities or women shall be real, substantial,
and continuing and shall go beyond the pro
forma ownership of the firm as reflected In Its
ownership documents. The minority or women
owners shall enjoy the customary Incidents of
ownership and shall share in the risks and
profits commensurate with their ownership
interests, as demonstrated by a examination of
the substance rather than form of arrangements.
Recognition 'of the business as a separate
_entity for tax or corporate purposes Is not
necessarily sufficient for recognition as an
MBE. In determining whether a potential MBE Is
an Independent business, DOT recipients shall
consider all relevant factors, including the
date the business was established, the adequacy
of Its resources for the work of the contract,
and the degree to which financial, equipment
leasing, and other relationships with
nonminority firms vary from Industry practice.
(3) The minority or women owners shall also
possess the power to direct or cause the
FR -6
direction of the management and policies of the
firm and to make the day-to-day as well as
major decisions on matters of management,
policy, and operations. The firm shall not be
subject to any formal or Informal restrictions
which limit the customary discretion of the
minority or women owners. There shall be no
restrictions through, for example, bylaw
provisions, partnership agreements, or charter
requirements for cumulative voting rights or -
otherwise that prevent the minority or women
owners, without the cooperation or vote of any
owner who is not a minority or woman, from
making a business decision of the firm.
(4) If the owners of the firm who are not
minorities or women are disproportionately
-responsible for the operation of the firm, then
the firm Is not controlled by minorities or
women and shall not be considered an MBE within
the meaning of this part. Where the actual
management of the firm Is contracted out to
individuals other than the owner, those persons
who have the ultimate power to hire and fire
the managers can, for the purposes of this
part, be considered as controlling the
business.
•(5) All securities which constitute
ownership and/or control of a corporation for
purposes of establishing it as an MBE under
this part shall be held directly by minorities
or women. No securities held in trust, or by
any guardian for a minor, shall be considered
as held by minority or women in determining
the ownership or control of a corporation.
(6) The contributions of capital or
expertise by the minority or women owners to
acquire their interests In the firm shall be
real and substantial. Examples of
insufficient contributions Include a promise
to contribute capital, a note payable to the
firm or Its owners who are not socially and
economically disadvantaged, 'or the mere
participation as an employee, rather than as a
manager.
(b) In addition to the above standards, DOT
recipients shall give special consideration to
the following circumstances in determining
eligibility under this part.
FR -7
(1) Newly formed firms and firms whose
ownership and/or control has changed since the
date of the advertisement of the contract are
closely scrutinized to determine the reasons
for the timing of the formation of or change
in the firm.
(2) A previous and/or continuing
employer-employee relationship between or
among present owners is carefully reviewed to
ensure that the employee -owner has management
responsibilities and capabilities discussed In
this section.
(3) Any relationship between an MBE and a
business which is not an MBE which has an
interest in the MBE is carefully reviewed to
determine If the Interest of. the non -MBE
conflicts with the ownership and control
requirements of this section.
(c) A Joint venture is eligible under this
part if the MBE partner of the Joint venture
meets the standards for ,an eligible MBE set
forth above and the MBE partner is responsible
for a clearly defined portion of the work to
be performed and shares In the ownership,
control, management responsibilities, risks,
and profits of the Joint venture.
(d) A Joint venture Is eligible to compete
In an MBE set-aside under this part if the MBE
partner of the joint venture meets the
standards of an eligible MBE set forth above,
and the MBE partner's share in the ownership,
control, and management responsibilities,
risks, and profits of the joint venture Is a
least 51 percent and the MBE partner Is
responsible for a clearly defined portion of
the work to be performed.
(e) A business wishing to be certified as an
MBE or joint venture MBE by a DOT recipient
shall cooperate with the recipient In supplying
additional information which may be requested
In order to make a determination.
(f) Once certified, an MBE shall update its
submission annually by submitting a new
Schedule A or certifying that the Schedule A on
file is still accurate. At any time there Is a
change In ownership or control of the firm, the
MBE shall submit a new schedule A.
(g) Except as provided In section 23.55, the
denial of a certification by the Department or
a recipient shall be final, for that contract
and other contracts being let by.the recipient
,.at the time of the denial of certification.
MBEs and joint ventures denied certification
may correct deficiencies In their ownership and
control and apply for certification only for
future contracts.
(h) Recipients shall safeguard from
disclosure to unauthorized persons information
that reasonably may be regarded as confidential
business information, consistent with Federal,
state and local law.

a member and participant, may be asserted as

particpates In the group, makes every effort
to assure that the group has a positive Impact
on the employment of minorities and women in
the industry, ensures that the concrete
benefits of the program are reflected in the
Contractor's minority and female workforce
participation, makes a good faith effort to
meet its individual goals and timetables, and
can provide access to documentation which

failure of such a group to fulfill an
obligation shall not be a defense for the
Contractor's noncompliance.

rate single goal for women have been estab-
lished. The Contractor, however, is required
to provide equal employment opportunity and to
take affirmative action for all minority
groups, both male and female, and all women,
both minority and non -minority. Consequently,
the Contractor may be in violation of the
Executive Order if a particular group Is
employed In a substantially disparate manner
(-for example, even though the Contractor has
achieved its goals for women generally, the
Contractor may be in violation of the Executive
Order If a specific minority group of women is
unaerutilized).
10•. The'Contractor shalf'not use the goals
and timetables or affirmative'action standards
to discriminate against any•person because of
race, color, rellg(on, sex; or national
origin.

lations, by the Office of Federal Contract
Compliance programs. Any Contractor who falls
td carryout such sanctions and penalties shall
be In violation of these specifications and
Executive Order 11246, as amended. -
13. The Contractor, In fulfilling Its
obligations under these specifications, shall
implement specific affirmative action steps,
at least as extensive as those standards
prescribed In paragraph 7 of.these specifi-
cations, so as to achieve maximum results from
Its efforts to ensure equal employment oppor-
tunity. If the Contractor falls to comply
with the requirements of the Executive Order,
the Implementing regulations, or these speci-
fications, the Director shall proceed In
accordance with 41 CFR 60-4.8.
14. The Contractor shall designate a
responsible official to monitor all employment
related activity to ensure that the company

—all reports, communications, ordinances, resolutions, contract
documents, etc. be submitted not later than noon on the Thursday
preceding the meeting.
ANALYSIS
The present requirements of the Council are for the Agenda and
all supporting materials to be distributed to them on the evening
of the Thursday preceding the meeting. The Thursday noon dead-
line for submission of materials is therefore most inadequate.
To meet review and publication deadlines it is therefore request-
ed that this code provision be changed to a Tuesday at 10 a.m.
deadline.
As you know, effective January 1, 1987 there is a new State re-
quirement that the Agenda be posted 72 hours in advance of the
meeting. Based on that the current Code provision requiring that
the Agenda be made available to the public was modified to read:
The agenda listing shall be made available to the public on the
Friday preceding the Tuesday council meeting and shall be posted
in accordance with State law, (California Government Code Section
54954.2 as amended).

REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 13, 1987
TO: Members of the City Council co)\
FROM: James P. Lough, City Attorney (v u
RE: Council Report on Moratorium Prohibiting the Separate
Sale or Separation of Contiguous Lots When a Single
Improvement Straddles the Dividing Property Line
Pursuant to Ordinance No. 86-866 and Attached
Resolution of Intention to Send the Matter to the
Planning Commission Pursuant to Hermosa Beach Municipal
Code Section 29.5-2.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council adopt
this report as its report required, pursuant to the Government
Code, when adopting interim ordinances. Additionally, it is
recommended that the City Council adopt the attached resolution
sending this matter to the Planning Commission for its advice
and recommendation.
This is the required report under the Government Code that
the City Council must issue within 35 days of the adoption of
its emergency moratorium. The report specifies what steps the
City Council expects to take to correct the situation addressed
in its moratorium. The moratorium in question is Ordinance
No. 86-866 which prohibited the separate sale or separation of
contiguous lots when a single improvement straddles a dividing
property line. This ordinance, which is attached hereto, was
designed to prevent people from selling"off or quit claiming
properties to get around the lot merger requirements.
The lot merger scheme adopted by the City allowed applicants
to quit claim or deed away one parcel while keeping another
parcel. This results in two separate parcels owned by two
separate owners with a common dwelling unit straddling both
lots. This creates many problems including ownership rights to
the dwelling and potential health and safety impacts if neither
owner wants to correct unsanitary or unsafe conditions.
Most cities have in place an ordinance which prevents
property from being owned or held separately when there is a
dwelling unit straddling the contiguous property line.
13/SR0113C -1-
The purpose of this report and the attached resolution is to
have the Planning Commission study this matter to determine the
best method by which the City could take the proper steps to
prevent dwelling units from being owned by separate owners in
this manner. The reason that the matter must be referred to the
Planning Commission is that under Section 29.5-2 of the Hermosa
Beach Municipal Code, the Planning Commission is designated as
the advisory agency to the City Council "charged with the duty
of making investigations and reports on the design and improve-
ment of proposed divisions of land." The Council will then
receive back a recommendation from the Planning Commission upon
which it may act.
It is also recommended that the City Council set for .public
hearing an extension of the moratorium at its -January 27, 1987
City Council Meeting. The purpose',of this hearing would be to
decide whether the moratorium should be extended so as to
prevent sales and separations of property while the Planning
Commission is hearing this matter. It is recommended that if
the Planning Commission develops a satisfactory ordinance to
prevent such sales or transfers, these will be the only steps
needed to alleviate the situation to require the implementation
of the emergency moratorium.

ORDINANCE NO. 86-866
AN EMERGENCY ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING ORDINANCE
NO. 86-856, TO PROHIBIT THE SEPARATE SALE OR SEPARATION
OF CONTIGUOUS LOTS WHEN A SINGLE IMPROVEMENT STRADDLES
THE DIVIDING PROPERTY LINE.
WHEREAS, Ordinance No. 86-856 establishes a moratorium on
the issuance of demolition permits on lots on which at least one
of the contiguous parcels held by the same owner does not
conform to standards for minimum lot size;
WHEREAS, development of such contiguous lots into separate
developments causes increased density within the City of Hermosa
Beach which creates an unreasonable burden of noise, water
runoff, parking congestion, pollution and other environmental
effects;
WHEREAS, the sale or separation of individual, contiguous
lots of nonconforming size usually results in further develop-
ment which increases density and harms public welfare;
WHEREAS; the failure of the City Council to act at this time
to stop the separation or separate sale of individual, noncon-
forming, contiguous lots owned by the same person or legal
entity would allow the harm to continue while the City follows
the procedures necessary to implement Ordinance No. 86-851;
