RECOMMENDATIONIt is respectfully recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager, or hisdesignee, to use the “Engineer, Procure Construct” (EPC) alternative project delivery method forthe proposed repowering of the Grayson Power Plant, and authorize Glendale Water & Powerto issue a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) followed by a Request for Proposals (RFP) toshort-listed EPC Contractors.

BACKGROUNDIANALYSISGlendale Water & Power (GWP) continues to evaluate the possible repowering of the GraysonPower Plant (GPP). The next step in this potential project is to issue an REQ to identify firmsthat are qualified to submit proposals for the design, engineering, construction of the proposed -

power plant. After identifying qualified EPC Contractors, GWP will short list three to five of theprospective qualified EPC Contractors, and would issue an RFP to those short-listed firms foran EPC Contractor.

GWP recommends using the “Engineer, Procure Construct” (EPC) Project delivery methodrather than the traditional “Design-Bid-Build” method, primarily due to the expected time andcost savings and the complexity of the proposed project. EPC procurement is an “alternativeproject delivery method” under the City’s Alternative Project Delivery Method Ordinance(Chapter 4.13 of the Glendale Municipal Code). The Ordinance requires an alternative projectdelivery method to be authorized by the City Council before an RFQ or REP may be issuedutilizing the alternative project delivery method. GWP recommends that that City Councilauthorize the use of the EPC procurement method for the proposed Grayson repowering projectand authorize GWP to issue an REQ to short-list applicants, and ultimately an REP, to identify aqualified EPC Contractor for the proposed project.

Under the traditional method of Design-Bid-Build, the project would require multipleprocurement, contract negotiations, and approval processes which, along with additionaladministrative processes and project coordination, would extend the project’s delivery date. Incontrast, the EPC project delivery method is streamlined. The EPC procurement methodmeans the City would enter into one contract for the design, development of architectural plans,construction, supply of the “balance of plant” equipment (i.e., not supplied by the Power IslandEquipment contractor) and commissioning of the power plant. If the City ultimately decides toproceed with the project, the EPC Contract would be awarded following a competitive REQshort-listing process and a competitive RFP process.

With the EPC method, the City can achieve time savings compared to the City’s traditionalconstruction method. Additionally, using the EPC method will enable constant communicationand coordination between the engineering and construction teams, thereby reducing designerrors, construction mistakes and change orders, leading to lower project cost and risk. Usingthe EPC method for this complex, proposed project will result in early coordination of theconstruction means, methods and materials.

CEQAThe City Council’s adoption of a Resolution authorizing the EPC procurement method for theproposed Grayson Repowering Project, and authorizing the City’s issuance of an REQ to shortlist qualified applicants, and/or an RFP for the proposed project, are not subject to therequirements of CEQA because the action is not a project as defined by CEQA. See Cal. PublicResources Code §21065; 14 Cal Code of Regulations §15378.

Page 4: A AG E N D S COUUNCCIILL CHHAAMMBBEERR,, CCiittyy HHaa lll ... · language translation and Braille transcription services. All documents related to open session items on this agenda

The proposed action will not have an immediate effect on the environment; nor will it result in areasonably foreseeable physical change to the environment. Adopting a Resolution authorizingan alternative project delivery method, and the issuance of an RFQ and RFP does not committhe City to the proposed repowering of the Grayson Power Plant; nor is the City committing tothe expenditure of any funds for the potential project. See 14 Cal Code of Regulations§15352(a).

A decision whether or not to proceed with the repowering will not occur until after theenvironmental review for the proposed project has been completed under CEQA, a CEQAdocument is certified, and City considers and makes findings regarding alternatives andmitigation measures to the extent required by CEQA.

FISCAL IMPACTThe proposed action does not commit the City to the expenditure of any funds. Nor does thisaction authorize the proposed Grayson repowering. If and when the City Council elects toproceed with a repowering project, then GWP anticipates that utilizing the EPC procurementwould reduce the cost and risk of the proposed repowering project, compared to a traditionalproject delivery method.

ALTERNATIVESAlternative 1: The City Council may approve the recommendation presented herein and adopt

a Resolution approving the EPC Alternative Project Delivery Method for theproposed Grayson Repowering Project.

Alternative 2: The City Council may decline to adopt a Resolution approving the EPCAlternative Project Delivery Method or decline to authorize the issuance of anREQ or RFP.

Alternative 3: The City Council may consider any other alternative not proposed by staff.

CITY OF GLENDALEINTERDEPARTMENTAL COMMUNICATION

DATE: January3,2017

TO: Scoff Ochoa, City Manager

FROM: Stephen M. Zurn, General Manager, GWP

SUBJECT: Request for Approval of Alternative Project Delivery Method:Proposed Grayson Power Plant Repowering Project

Glendale Water & Power intends to issue a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to identi& a list ofthree to five qualified firms to submit proposals to serve as Engineer, Procure and Construct(EPC) Contractor for the proposed repowering of the Grayson Power Plant (Proposed Project).

The City’s Alternative Project Delivery Ordinance (GMC Chapter 4.13) requires City Managerand City Council approval to use an alternative project delivery method, such as EPCprocurement, before an RFQ for such a project can be issued.’

GWP respectfully requests approval to use the EPC procurement method for the ProposedProject.

Proiect Background:The Proposed Project, if authorized by City Council, would replace the aging Grayson PowerPlant (except for Unit 9) with approximately 262 megawatts (MW) of replacement generation.The proposed new power plant facilities would be comprised of two combined cycle and twosimple cycle power blocks that will be supplied by Siemens Energy, Inc. under a separatecontract. The preliminary cost estimate for the proposed EPC Contract is $215,000,000 whichincludes the design, engineering, architectural plans, balance of plant equipment supply andbalance of plant equipment transportation, unloading of equipment, erection, commissioning andtesting. If the Proposed Project is authorized by City Council, based upon the current schedulefor the Proposed Project, it is anticipated that the repowering would be completed in or aboutMay of 2021. At this time, GWP has not identified potential design, constructability,maintenance, repair or operational issues that would affect the Proposed Project. Impacts to thepublic will be addressed through the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) process.The City Council’s consideration of, and certification of, a CEQA document is prerequisite tp~,the City’s determination whether to proceed with the Proposed Project. If the Proposed Proj~tproceeds, the Grayson Power Plant, except for Unit 9, would be unavailable for approximate4~a g,,three-year period. During that time, GWP would procure alternative sources of power to suy ~mpower to its customers. .b- ~

Reasons and Justifications for the Proposed Project:As required by Section 4.13.070 of the Glendale Municipal Code, GWP submits the followingreasons and justifications for the Proposed Project.

Reason(s):Proceeding with the EPC procurement method is in the best interest of the City because theProposed Project:

1) Has a high level of technical complexity; and2) Requires expertise that city staff does not have

Justification(s):Proceeding with the EPC procurement method would improve the Proposed Project’s schedule,cost, quality and functionality of the Proposed Project by having one firm be accountable for thedetailed design, providing the balance of plant equipment, constructing the facility and beingresponsible for the commissioning and start-up of the Proposed Grayson Repowered Plan withdefined schedule and cost and liquidated damages for failing to meet schedule or performance.This process allows the contractor to coordinate the engineering effort with the construction thatallows for an accelerated schedule and reduced cost for the Project. In addition, it places theresponsibility for schedule, cost, and quality with one contractor with oversight by GWP and theCity’s Owner’s Engineer

If you have any questions or need additional information regarding the Proposed Project or theproposed EPC procurement method for the Proposed Project, please contact me.

RECOMMENDATIONIt is respectfully recommended that the City Council approve the use of Project LaborAgreements (PLA) that would apply to the Engineer, Procure, Construct (EPC) contractor andthe demolition contractor for proposed Grayson Power Plant (GPP) Repowering Project.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSISGlendale Water & Power (GWP) continues to evaluate the possible repowering of the GraysonPower Plant (GPP). California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) analysis is underway, andpreliminary procurement activities — issuance of Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to short listpotential proposers for an EPC contract — will soon begin, subject to City Council’s approval.Accordingly, GWP requests direction from the City Council as to whether the City Councildesires to require the EPC contractor and the demolition contractor for the proposed project, toenter into a PLA with the state and local (Los Angeles/ Orange Counties) Building andConstruction Trades Councils.

At this time, no decision to proceed with the proposed repowering project has been made.However, a decision is requested at this stage so that staff can include the PLA requirement, ifapplicable, in the REQ and Request for Proposals (REP) for the EPC contract and in biddingdocuments for a demolition contractor.

A Project Labor Agreement, also referred to as a “project stabilization agreement,” is avoluntary, “pre-hire” labor agreement, generally negotiated with the local building trade councilor local unions, establishing employment terms and conditions for a construction project.PLAs have been used for decades in both public and private second construction generally,especially for large and multi-union projects. The first use of PLAs in the United States beganwith several dam projects in the 1930s, including Grand Coulee Dam in Washington, ShastaDam in California, and Hoover Dam in Nevada. Other notable PLA projects include:

• Cape Kennedy Space Center• Oak Ridge Tennessee Nuclear Research Eacility• O’Hare Airport• Boston Harbor Clean-up• Logan Airport’s Remodel• Los Angeles Light Rapid Transit system

Legal ConsiderationsPLAs are specifically permitted for use in the construction industry by Section 8(f) of theNational Labor Relations Act, and have been upheld against legal challenges in California.Opponents of PLAs have challenged the right of public entities to use PLAs in public sectorconstruction on two bases: first, pre-emption under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA);and second, alleging violation of state or local competitive bidding requirements that requirepublic construction contracts to be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder.

The legality of use of PLAs on public construction projects in California is well established.Multiple cases have upheld the use of PLAs by public entities against challenges based onNLRA preemption, California’s competitive bidding laws, and other theories. (See, e.g., Johnsonv. Rancho Santiago Community College Dist., 623 E.3d 1011(9th Cir. 2010); Assoc. Builders &Contractors, Inc., Golden Gate Chapter et al. v. San Francisco Airports Commission, 21 Cal. 4th352 (1999).)

Page 12: A AG E N D S COUUNCCIILL CHHAAMMBBEERR,, CCiittyy HHaa lll ... · language translation and Braille transcription services. All documents related to open session items on this agenda

Regarding the NLRA pre-emption, the courts has affirmed that public entities have the sameoptions as private owners in deciding to use PLAs in construction projects. The NLRA explicitlypermits employers in the construction industry to enter into pre-hire agreements. The courtshave noted that in authorizing PLAs in the construction industry, Congress intended toaccommodate conditions specific to the industry, and the courts saw no reason to expect thatthe construction industry’s defining features should depend upon the public or private natureof the entity that is purchasing the contracting services. PLAs that are included as bidspecifications for public construction contracts are not pre-empted by the NLRA where the cityis acting as a market participant pursuant to a proprietary interest, rather than as a regulator.

In a case concerning a PLA for a public construction project to expand and renovate theSan Francisco International Airport, the California Supreme Court observed that the purposesof competitive bidding laws were to secure competition, save public funds and guard againstfavoritism, extravagance and corruption. The Court concluded that substantial evidencesupported the adoption of the PLA bid specification as advancing legitimate governmentalinterests consistent with competitive bidding laws, including prevention of costly delays andensuring contractors have access to skilled workers. Because the PLA, by its own terms, didnot exclude contractors, union or nonunion, from bidding on the airport project, the Court foundthat it was not anticompetitive. However, the Court observed that future challenges to theimposition of PLAs as bid requirements must be reviewed on a case-by-case-basis forconsistency with competitive bidding laws.

In 2011, Senate Bill 911 (SB 922) amended the California Public Contracts Code (by addingCalifornia Public Contract Code §2500 et seq.) to specifically permit public entities to use PLAsand to require contractors to enter into PLAs for construction projects. Indeed, SB 922 providesthat where a City charter or ordinance prohibits, limits or constrains the governing board’sauthority to adopt or require a PLA for a construction project, the Construction project isprohibited from receiving state financial assistance. In this case, the scope for the proposedPLA would be limited to the EPC contractor’s and demolition contractor’s scope of work forthe proposed Grayson Repowering Project, which would not be a grant-funded project.

Opponents of PLAs contend that PLAs lead to higher labor costs and increased fringe benefitcosts, as well as potentially a reduced number of bidders. On the other hand, proponents ofPLAs contend that PLAs help maintain good labor relations on a project, avoid labor disputesand disruptions during the construction, and can increase labor productivity. In that regard, aPLA defines and standardizes the required labor practices that apply to the parties signing thePLA and includes provisions prohibiting work stoppages which can cause costly delays.Studies of the cost impacts and benefits of PLAs have had mixed results, with some studiesfinding that PLAs provide an overall benefit, while others finding PLAs result in increased projectcosts.

In recent years, most new or repower type power plant projects in California have beenconstructed using a PLA in coordination with the California Unions for Reliable Energy (CURE),a coalition of unions. For example, PLAs were successfully put in place for the Magnolia PowerPlant Project in Burbank, the Glenarm Power Plant project in Pasadena, and the Canyon PowerPlant Project in Anaheim. Due to the nature and complexity of building power plants, whichrequires specific trades and skills, the PLA helps in assuring that the contractors employqualified craft workers.

PLA for Proposed Grayson Repowering ProjectGiven the complexity and scope of the proposed Grayson repowering project, the number ofdifferent craft disciplines that will be required for the work, and the fact that PLAs have beensuccessfully used on several municipal power plant projects in California, Staff recommends theCity Council approve the use of a PLA for the EPC Contractor’s scope of work for the proposedGrayson Power Plant Repowering Project.

Staff has negotiated with CURE on behalf of the State and Los Angeles! Orange CountyBuilding Trades Councils regarding a potential PLA for the EPC Contractor. Since thedemolition work would be contracted for separately, the demolition work would be covered by aseparate PLA with similar terms and conditions. The PLAs, if approved by City Council, wouldbe incorporated into the RFQ and REP for the EPC Contractor and into the bid documents forthe demolition contractor. The proposed PLA for the EPC Contractor is attached to this Report,and the key terms of the PLA are as follows:

Purpose: The purposes of the proposed PLA include: to achieve timely construction ofthe project, to establish a framework for labor-management cooperation and stability, toestablish and stabilize wages, hours and working conditions for craft workers on theproject, to encourage close cooperation between the employers and unions on theproject, to ensure a sufficient supply of skilled craft workers are available for the project,to ensure that the work proceeds continuously and without interruption, in a safe andefficient manner and to provide an assurance of good construction methods andproductivity.

• Parties: The parties to the PLA would be the EPC Contractor, the State Building andConstruction Trades Council of California, and the Los Angeles! Orange CountiesBuilding and Construction Trades Council, and the local unions who have executed theAgreement.

• Agreements to be Bound: The Primary Employer and other Employers under the PLAagree to contract for Covered Work only to persons, firms, or entities that (1) become aparty to the PLA and agree to be bound by it and (2) agree to abide by the applicableMaster Agreement with the craft union having traditional and customary building tradescraft jurisdiction over the work.

• Scope of Agreement: The PLA covers labor performed within the craft jurisdiction ofone of the unions that are parties to the agreement and part of the Project, as defined,including on site fabrication work, and work done in temporary yards or areas near theproject, and work which is traditionally claimed as on-site fabrication work, such asfabrication of air-handling systems and ducts and HVAC sheet metal work.

• Exclusions: Exclusions from the scope of the PLA include work performed by Cityemployees or the Power Island Equipment vendor, work of non-manual employees(such as superintendents, engineers and design work), maintenance and repair work,and the operation and maintenance of the project. The EPC Contractor PLA specifiesthat demolition work would be covered by a separate PLA with the demolition contractor.

• Union Recognition and Referral: The unions signing the PLA are recognized arid soleand exclusive bargaining units and shall be the primary source of all craft employees forcovered work, excluding “Core Employees” of the Employers. Employees shall beemployed on a one on one basis, with one Core Employee selected, followed by oneemployee from the hiring hall, until employer’s requirements are met or five coreemployees are hired.

• Helmets to Hardhats: In order to facilitate the hiring of veterans, the PLA states thatthe Employers and Unions agree to utilize the services of the Center for MilitaryRecruitment, Assessment and Veterans Employment, a joint Labor-ManagementCooperation Trust Fund established under federal law, as a resource, and to maintain adatabase of veterans that are interested in work on the Project and in apprenticeshipand employment opportunities for the Project.

• Side Letter Agreement: Under the terms of a side letter agreement that wouldaccompany the PLA, the construction of transmission and distribution lines, outsidesubstations, switchyards and ground grids for the proposed Grayson repowering projectwould be performed by union contractors, except where such work is performed by GWPemployees.

CEQAThe City Council’s approval of PLA requirement for the proposed EPC contract and demolitioncontract is not subject to CEQA because the action is not a project as defined by CEQA. SeeCal. Public Resources Code §21065; 14 Cal Code of Regulations §15378. The proposed actionwill not have an immediate effect on the environment; nor will it result in a reasonablyforeseeable physical change to the environment. Requiring the PLA, if the proposed projectproceeds, does not commit the City to the proposed repowering of the Grayson Power Plant;nor is the City committing to the expenditure of any funds for the potential project. See 14 CalCode of Regulations §15352(a).

A decision whether or not to proceed with the repowering will not occur until after theenvironmental review for the proposed project has been completed under CEQA, a CEQAdocument is certified, and City considers and makes findings regarding alternatives andmitigation measures to the extent required by CEQA. CEQA analysis of the proposed projectis underway.

FISCAL IMPACTThe proposed action does not commit the City to the expenditure of any funds, nor does thisaction authorize the proposed Grayson repowering. If the City proceeds with the proposedproject, the use of PLAs for the EPC contract and for the demolition contract is expected toresult in some additional expenses required administering and monitoring compliance with thePLA terms. While it is not possible to precisely project the fiscal impact of the use of PLAs, staffestimates the net increase in direct construction-related and administrative costs to beapproximately $220,000, or 0.1% of the estimated construction cost for the EPC and thedemolition contracts.

ALTERNATIVESAlternative 1: The City Council may approve the recommendation presented herein and adopt

a Resolution requiring PLAs as a condition of the EPC contract and thedemolition contract for the proposed project, if the project proceeds, and directCity staff to include such a requirement in the RFQ, RFP, and bidding documentsfor such work.

Alternative 2: The City Council may decline to approve or require a PLA for the EPC contractand the demolition contract for the proposed project.

Alternative 3: The City Council may consider any other alternative not proposed by staff.
