Vernon
City Council
Agenda Item 13
13. Services Agreement with Ron's Maintenance, Inc.
Recommendation:
A. Find that the proposed action is categorically exempt from California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) review, in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15301, because
the project consists of the maintenance, repair or minor alteration of existing facilities and
involves negligible or no expansion of an existing or former use;
B. Approve and authorize the City Administrator to execute a Services Agreement with Ron’s
Maintenance, Inc., in substantially the same form as submitted, for catch basin cleaning
services as part of the City’s continued effort to comply with the Los Angeles River Trash
Total Maximum Daily Loads Program included in the Municipal National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System Permit, for a total amount not-to-exceed $333,094, for a three-year term;
and
C. Authorize a contingency amount of 15% (or $49,965) for extra basin inspections or
cleaning services that may be needed, and grant authority to the City Administrator to issue
Change Orders for an amount up to the contingency amount, if necessary.
