FIND that approval of the Agreement is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Article 5, Section 15061(b)(3) [Common sense exemption, where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment] of California CEQA Guidelines. FIND the following: In accordance with Charter Section 1022, that it is necessary, feasible, and economical to secure these services by contract as the Department of Recreation and Parks (RAP) lacks sufficient and necessary personnel to undertake these specialized professional services. Pursuant to Charter Section 371(e)(10), and Los Angeles Administrative Code Section 10.15(a)(10), that the use of competitive bidding for the services to be provided by First Choice Vending Inc. (Concessionaire) would be undesirable, impractical or otherwise excused by the common law and the Charter because, unlike the purchase of a specified product, there is no single criterion, such as price comparison, that will determine which proposer can best provide the services required by the RAP for the operation and maintenance of the vending machine concession. AUTHORIZE the Board of Recreation and Park Commissioners (Board), or designee, to execute the proposed Agreement between the RAP and Concessionaire for the operation and maintenance of vending machine concessions at various parks and recreation centers within the City of Los Angeles, for a term of five years with two five-year extension options exercisable at the sole discretion of the General Manager, RAP, subject to review and approval of the City Attorney as to form. INSTRUCT the RAP, prior to execution of the proposed Agreement, to ensure that the Concessionaire submit proof of current insurance on KwikComply that meets the minimum limits as required by the Office of the City Administrative Officer (CAO), Risk Management Division. AUTHORIZE the General Manager, RAP, or designee, to execute the Agreement upon receipt of all necessary approvals. AUTHORIZE the RAP to make any necessary technical changes consistent with the Board’s intent in approving the proposed Agreement attached to the CAO report dated January 12, 2026, attached to the Council file. Fiscal Impact Statement: The CAO reports that the Concesionaire will pay the RAP 25 percent of gross receipts from vending machine sales to the RAP. The RAP’s estimated revenue from sales over the initial five-year term is $319,172, based on projections provided by the Concessionaire. Ninety percent of the revenues from this concession agreement will be deposited into the RAP’s operating fund. The remaining ten percent will be deposited into the Concessions Improvement Account. There is no additional impact on the General Fund. The Concessionaire will submit a monthly concession fee payment and report on sales to the RAP. In addition, the Concessionaire must submit a statement of gross receipts for each individual machine as a supplemental document to the main monthly report. If the Concessionaire fails to remit any concession fee payments or other fees, charges, or payments required on time, it will be considered a material breach of the agreement. The charge for late or delinquent payments is $150 for each month late plus interest calculated at the rate of 18 percent per year, assessed monthly, on the balance of the unpaid amount. The Concessionaire is responsible to pay a monthly utility charge equal to $10 per machine, as well as $1,000 to guarantee payment of fees and as a damage deposit to be used in accordance with the provisions of the agreement. Financial Policies Statement: The CAO reports that the recommendations in the report complies with the City’s Financial Policies in that user charges and fees are set to support the full cost of operations for which the fees are charged.

AUTHORIZE the Department of Recreation and Parks (RAP) to enter into a proposed contract (Contract) with BCI Burke Company, LLC (Contractor) for the purchase and installation of playground and sports/recreation equipment, site amenities, shade, tiles and tile surfacing, turf and tiles, as well as delivery and related products and services, on an occasional and as-needed basis, for a term of four years not-to-exceed $5,000,000 per year, with the possibility of up to three additional one-year extensions to said Contract, substantially in the form attached as Appendix A of the Board of Recreation and Park Commissioners (Board) report dated February 5, 2026, attached to the Council file, subject to the approval of the City Attorney as to form. FIND the following: The RAP desires to secure a contract that would allow the RAP to purchase and have installed on an as-needed basis, playground and sports/recreation equipment, site amenities, shade, tiles and tile surfacing, turf and tiles, as well as delivery and related products and services for RAP facilities (Services); and, the Contractor is experienced in providing these Services, and is willing to perform such Services. In accordance with Charter Sections 371(e)(2) and 372, and Los Angeles Administrative Code Section 10.15(a)(2), that it is in the best interest of the RAP and that competitive bidding is not practicable or advantageous or compatible with the RAP’s interests in having available pre-qualified, as-needed contractors as it is necessary for the RAP to be able to call on pre-qualified contractors to perform this expert, technical work as-needed and on an occasional, but frequent, basis with each individual project being awarded on the basis of availability of an as-needed contractor to perform the work, the price to be charged and the unique expertise of the Contractor. Pursuant to Charter Section 371(e)(8), that the City, in lieu of undertaking its own competitive bidding or proposal process, may purchase the Services using Master Agreement No. 101625-BUR between Contractor and Sourcewell (Sourcewell Contract), attached as Appendix B of said Board report; Sourcewell is a public agency serving as a national municipal contracting agency established under the Service Cooperative statute by Minnesota Legislative Statute Section 123A.21 with the authority to develop and offer, among other services, cooperative procurement services to its membership, because contracts for cooperative arrangements with other governmental agencies for the utilization of the purchasing contracts and professional, scientific, expert or technical services contracts of those agencies and any implementing agreements are an exception to the City’s competitive bidding requirements. In accordance with Charter Section 371(e)(10), that use of competitive bidding would be undesirable, impractical or impossible or is otherwise excused by the common law and the Charter because, unlike the purchase of a specified product, there is no single criterion, such as price comparison, that will determine which proposer can best provide the Services required by the RAP. In accordance with Charter Section 1022, that the RAP does not have available in its employ, personnel with sufficient time or necessary expertise to undertake the Services in a timely manner, and it is more feasible, economical and in the RAP’s best interest, to secure these Services by the Contractor on an as-needed basis. The letter dated January 12, 2026, attached as Appendix C of said Board report, from Contractor authorizes the RAP as a Participating Public Agency to utilize the Sourcewell Contract for the purchase and installation of playground and sports/recreation equipment, site amenities, shade, tiles and tile surfacing, turf and tiles, as well as delivery and related products and services. AUTHORIZE the RAP, at the discretion of the General Manager, to exercise up to three one-year extensions of said Contract, should Sourcewell and the Contractor agree to exercise this option to extend until December 17, 2029, as authorized in Section 1 of the Sourcewell Contract. AUTHORIZE the RAP to make technical corrections as necessary to carry out the intent of said Board report. AUTHORIZE the President and Secretary, Board, to execute the proposed Contract upon receipt of all necessary approvals. Fiscal Impact Statement: The Board reports that the acceptance of use of the Sourcewell Contract No. 101625-BUR with BCI Burke Company, LLC – Award of Contract would not impact the RAP’s General Fund Community Impact Statement: None submitted TIME LIMIT FILE - APRIL 6, 2026 (LAST DAY FOR COUNCIL ACTION - MARCH 27, 2026) Speaker Card(s)_02-24-2026 Report from Arts, Parks, Libraries, and Community Enrichment Committee_02-24-26 Report from Board of Recreation and Park Commissioners dated 2-05-26

DETERMINE that the Reclaimed Water portion of the scope defined for the Griffith Park Ferraro Soccer Fields (R12) project, as specified in the 1996 Proposition K Ballot Measure (Ballot Measure), is infeasible for the reasons described below, as further detailed in the Proposition K – L.A. For Kids Steering (LAFKSC) Committee report dated February 3, 2026, attached to the Council file: The Department of Water and Power (DWP) has altered their approach to providing reclaimed water to sites throughout Los Angeles, and now encourages on-site reclamation of water. The DWP Reclaimed Water Pipeline (Purple Pipe) system does not extend to the Fields and the DWP does not intend to fund an extension of the Purple Pipe from the Los Angeles Glendale Water Treatment Plant Purple Pipe to the Fields. The vast majority of the Fields have been converted to synthetic soccer fields, which reduces the overall total landscaped area at the park that can benefit from a reclaimed water system. Constructing a new reclaimed water system within the Fields, absent a DWP connection to provide reclaimed water to the site, would render the improvements unable to be utilized for an unknown period of time and therefore would constitute an unnecessary use of assessment funds. ACKNOWLEDGE that the remainder of the specified project scope has been previously completed, as further detailed in said LAFKSC report. DETERMINE that no additional alternatives have been identified that would satisfy the legal requirements of the Ballot Measure within the remaining timeline of the Proposition K – L.A. for Kids Program. Fiscal Impact Statement: The LAFKSC reports that there is no impact to the General Fund as a result of the recommended actions.
