Astrology

BY HOLIDAY MATIS ARIES (March 21-April 19). Like an actor, you fulfi ll a role and the better you do it, the more the outside world can see a living, breathing character instead of its creator, hard at work. Parts of the real you will shine through; they are irrepressible. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Mutual comfort and confi dence can be established just as soon as everyone relaxes. You may have to go fi rst, as you are powerful in the situation and your chill attitude will be contagious. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). When you're kind to people who are kind to you fi rst, it raises your opinion of yourself not at all, because that's just the baseline of decency. But when you're kind fi rst, it gives you confi dence regardless of what happens next. CANCER (June 22-July 22). "The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows" defi nes kenopsia as "the eerie, forlorn atmosphere of a place that's usually bustling with people but is now abandoned and quiet." You'll know it again today. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). When you're around people who constantly make you feel good, you want to be around them more often. You'll make a connection with one such person today while avoiding less interesting prospects. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The idiom "drop your guard" may as well refer to the release of an actual shield. The accompanying psychological clank and clatter will be, on some level, audible today as someone decides they like you. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The rule of thumb is to only compliment people on the things they can control, like their manner and style of doing things and their choices. You'll understand the value of such a compliment when you receive one today. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It will be tempting to worry over how your work will be received and the value judgments that go along with that. For now, just commit to a practice and do the work. Anything else you need to know, you'll learn in good time. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your reaction gives power to things. Sometimes, it's the one and only power source. Therefore, if you want a situation to discontinue, consider choosing the reaction of nonreaction. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). How you talk to yourself matters more than you think it does. The kindness of your inside voice is refl ected in your outside voice, and the same goes for any other tone you choose with yourself.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The minute you feel the need to impress, prove yourself or compete, pull back. In today's instance, those who understand, value and need what you bring to the table won't ask you to compete for your spot. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The world isn't ideal today, and it wasn't totally great yesterday or 700 years ago, or ever. Luckily, the conditions have little to do with the heartfelt thing you must deliver to the world now.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 12). Your solar year is characterized by smoothness and grace. You're in touch with your identity and what you want. The world responds by understanding and fulfi lling your needs, which are largely unselfi sh. Since you so often endeavor for the good of others, you hardly need to prove or pitch yourself. Gemini and Cancer adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 26, 24, 18 and 40.

A mock-up of the upcoming vaccination site at the Annenberg Space for Photography (Vaccine Distribution continued from page 1) But serendipity makes for a poor vaccine distribution plan. Over a month into vaccination eff orts, even those who qualify for the vaccine have had trouble getting one as Los Angeles County reports shortages in vaccine supply. In Beverly Hills, pharmacies that have signed up to distribute the vaccine say they continue to wait for shipments without a clear idea of when they might arrive.

“We get probably 10 to 15 calls a day at each of our locations from our patients asking for the vaccine. And, unfortunately, it's very disappointing to consistently tell them that we don't have any updates and we're not sure when it will be, but it won't be anytime soon,” Ben Kadkhoda, a pharmacist at Encore Pharmacy on North Roxbury Drive, told the Courier. Six other pharmacies that spoke with the Courier echoed Kadkhoda, saying they did not have the vaccine and did not know when they would receive their shipments.

Local pharmacies fall lower on the list of the county’s vaccine distribution strategy, which prioritizes “mega” sites like the Forum in Inglewood, Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, Cal State Northridge, the Fairplex in Pomona and the L.A. County Offi ce of Education’s Downey Education Center. Only two locations in Beverly Hills currently off er the vaccine, the Rite Aid on Canon Drive and the Rite Aid on North Bedford Drive.

According to Kaitlyn Ross, a pharmacist at the Canon Rite Aid, the pharmacy is inoculating about 20 people a day. This is why Herb Glicksman, the owner of Herb’s Pharmacy on Wilshire Boulevard thinks it makes sense to prioritize the mega sites over smaller locations. Herb’s Pharmacy does not plan to distribute the vaccine.

“I'm explaining to people that it makes sense that they would have it at the Forum or Dodger’s Stadium and places like that, where they can get a lot of people lined up and do 3 or 4,000 a day,” he told the Courier.

But even with that operational advantage, large vacillations in vaccine shipments have forced many mega sites and other centers to restrict distribution to those receiving their second dose only. The county received a shipment of 133,575 vaccines on the week of Jan. 4, which rose to 193,950 the following week, before falling to 168,575 the week after. The uncertainty has led the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health (Public Health) to set aside 55 percent of this week’s stock for second doses. “Starting on [Feb. 9], due to short supply of vaccines from the state, county sites will be administering second doses only for the remainder of the week,” Public Health announced on Twitter. The policy impacted the Pomona Fairplex, the Forum, the County Offi ce of Education, Cal State Northridge, the Balboa Sports Complex, and El Sereno. Cedars-Sinai has also limited visits at its Beverly Center drive-through clinic to those receiving their second dose. Dodger Stadium continues to distribute fi rst doses. But in a possible indication of confusion over the rapidly shifting rules, Feb. 9 saw the mega site uncharacteristically empty with thousands of unclaimed appointments. Dodger Stadium has encountered other issues lately as well, with protesters disrupting operations at the facility for about an hour on Jan. 30. A group of 50 demonstrators marched up Academy Road with signs decrying public health measures and declaiming misinformation on the vaccine. In response, offi cials with the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) closed the gates to the stadium grounds, temporarily halting traffi c. While LAFD Public Information Offi cer David Ortiz said that the protest only delayed vaccinations by 30 minutes, the Courier observed multiple vehicles leaving the line during the closure. “We vaccinated everybody that was in line,” Ortiz told the Courier. According to the organizer of the protest, Jason Lefk owitz, LAPD had ample notice of the protest. “I am furious that the demonstration took place in my district, which has been devastated by the pandemic,” L.A. City Councilmember Gil Cedillo told the Courier. Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) Chief Michael Moore promised to arrest future protestors for harassment and intimidation at vaccination sites. Lefk owitz, however, plans to return to Dodger Stadium on Feb. 13, according to a fl yer he shared on the messaging app Telegram. The rocky vaccine rollout comes as Los Angeles discovers more cases of new COVID-19 variants. On Feb. 9, Public Health confi rmed fi ve additional cases of the U.K. variant, B.1.1.7., bringing the total to eight. Though a drop in the bucket compared to the more than 1 million total cases detected in the county, the novel variant transmits 50 percent more easily, according to current estimates. Offi cials predict that B.1.1.7 will become the dominant strain in the United States by the end of March. Studies have shown that the currently available vaccines are eff ective at combating the new strain, though not as eff ective against variants fi rst identifi ed in Brazil and South Africa. No other variant has yet been detected in Los Angeles County.

While Public Health has located large scale distribution centers in the east of the county where the virus has hit hardest, Beverly Hills’ senior community may see some relief closer to home soon. The Annenberg Foundation and Mickey Fine Pharmacy have partnered together to launch a vaccination center catering to those 70 years and older. The distribution site will operate out of the old Annenberg Space for Photography, which saw the closure of its fi nal exhibit in March 2020 due to COVID-19.

“Our seniors have suff ered a wrenching toll in this pandemic,” said Annenberg Foundation CEO Wallis Annenberg in a statement. “In many cases, they were the fi rst aff ected and the hardest hit, and we must act now. We all want this to be a new season of hope and immunity for seniors–here in Los Angeles and across the country.”

“I'm truly honored and grateful to be able to change lives and help people get back to their life,” Mickey Fine co-owner Gina Raphael told the Courier. “This is a coming together moment so that we can help the community and get our lives back,” she says.

The center will not open until it receives vaccine stock from the county. Raphael says that they are in touch with county offi cials, but do not have a fi rm date of when that may be.

(Kindness Week continued from page 1)

In March of 2020, in response to the global health crisis, then-Mayor and current councilmember John Mirisch announced the formation of the citywide Kindness Task Force, an initiative which is comprised of community members helping the City’s vulnerable senior population. The Task Force matches volunteers with seniors in the community who need an extra helping hand with anything from grocery shopping to dog walking. For many volunteers, every week is Kindness Week.

Beverly Hills resident, Mojan Ghahramani began volunteering with the Task Force shortly after it was formed. Three times a week, Ghahramani helps a 92-year-old senior nearby with her grocery shopping, mail, takes out the trash, picking up medication, errands and anything else she might need. “She’s very appreciative and I chat with her a lot,” Ghahramani told the Courier. “She used to be an actress, because she keeps telling me how famous she was. But she comes out from her balcony to talk to me so there’s a distance. You have to have a lot of patience.”

Additional Kindness Week activities include Social Media Kindness Challenges developed by the City’s Teen Advisory Committee. The challenges will be posted each day from Feb. 14-19, on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter social media platforms @CommunityLifeBH.

The Human Relations Commissioners will participate in Beverly Hills Public Library’s Storytime, reading books about kindness to children. Storytime videos will be available in the media library on www. YouTube/BeverlyHillsPublicLibrary. And beginning Feb. 16, the city’s librarians will take part in Dial-A-Story at 310-285-2580. The kindness-themed book being read is “The Spiffi est Giant in Town,” by Julia Donaldson. The Beverly Hills Public Library and Teen Advisory Committee have also curated a selection of kindness books, e-books and fi lms for people of all ages. To fi nd them online, visit www.beverlyhills.org/kindnessweek or on the Library’s website at www. bhpl.org.

At Roxbury Park, preschoolers, seniors, and members of the Teen Advisory Committee can participate in designing “Kindness Rocks” by painting a picture or message about kindness on rocks they have been provided. The rocks will be added to the park’s Kindness Rocks Garden.

The Beverly Hills Active Adult Club is taking part in Kindness Week, as well. The club is sponsoring the delivery of 200 roses on Feb. 12. One will be sent to each senior who participates in the daily meal delivery program.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on this property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (855)-976-3916 or visit this Internet Web site https://tracker.auction. com/sb1079 using the file number assigned to this case 2020-01429-CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction, if conducted after January 1, 2021, pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call ((855)-976-3916, or visit this internet website https://tracker.auction. com/sb1079 , using the file number assigned to this case 2020-01429CA to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid, by remitting the funds and affidavit described in Section 2924m(c) of the Civil Code, so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale.

CITY OF BEVERLY HILLS PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT 345 FOOTHILL ROAD BEVERLY HILLS, CALIFORNIA 90210

PREQUALIFICATION OF BIDDERS AND PREQUALIFICATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE: CNG REFUELING STATION PROJECT

Notice is hereby given that the City of Beverly Hills (“CITY”) has determined that all bidders for the Waterproofing and Concrete Slab repair for Multiple Parking Structures Project (“Project”) must be pre-qualified prior to submitting a bid on that Project. It is mandatory that all Contractors who intend to submit a bid, fully complete the prequalification questionnaire, provide all materials requested herein, and be approved by the CITY to be on the final qualified Bidders list.

No bid will be accepted from a Contractor that has failed to comply with these requirements. If two or more business entities submit a bid as part of a Joint Venture, or expect to submit a bid as part of a Joint Venture, each entity within the Joint Venture must be separately qualified to bid. The last date to submit a fully completed questionnaire is 5:00 PM , Thursday March 4, 2021. Contractors are encouraged to submit prequalification packages as soon as possible, so that they may be notified of omissions of information to be remedied or of their prequalification status in advance of the prequalification deadline for this Project.

Contractors must register as a vendor at the following website in order to download the prequalification package, and to receive clarificationss and notifications when issued.

The Prequalification package may be viewed on, and downloaded from the City’s PlanetBids portal: https://www.planetbids.com/portal/portal. cfm?CompanyID=39493 This item is listed as: Prequalification Package for CNG Refueling Station Project. Answers to questions contained in the questionnaire are required. The CITY will use these documents as the basis of rating Contractors with respect to whether each Contractor is qualified to bid on the Project, and reserves the right to check other sources available. The CITY’s decision will be based on objective evaluation criteria.

The CITY reserves the right to adjust, increase, limit, suspend or rescind the prequalification rating based on subsequently learned information. Contractors whose rating changes sufficiently to disqualify them will be notified, and given an opportunity for a hearing consistent with the hearing procedures described below for appealing a prequalification rating.

While it is the intent of the prequalification questionnaire and documents required therewith to assist the CITY in determining bidder responsibility prior to bid and to aid the CITY in selecting the lowest responsible bidder, neither the fact of prequalification, nor any prequalification rating, will preclude the CITY from a post-bid consideration and determination of whether a bidder has the quality, fitness, capacity and experience to satisfactorily perform the proposed work, and has demonstrated the requisite trustworthiness.

All qualifications submittals are required to be submit electronically via PlanetBids. The electronic submittal system will close exactly at the date and time set forth in this request for qualifications.

Any questions regarding the questionnaire and qualification package should be submitted via PlanetBids by or by contacting via email to Ji Kim (email: jikim@beverlyhills.org)

Responses to RFIs will be posted on PlanetBids.

Contractors are responsible for submitting and having their documents accepted before the closing time set forth in the request for qualifications. NOTE: Pushing the submit button on the electronic submittal system may not be instantaneous; it may take time for the Contractor’s documents to upload and transmit before the documents are accepted. It is the Contractor’s sole responsibility to ensure their documents are uploaded, transmitted, and arrive in time electronically. The City of Beverly Hills will have no responsibility for documents that do not arrive in a timely manner, no matter what the reason.

The prequalification packages submitted by Contractors are not public records and are not open to public inspection. All information provided will be kept confidential to the extent permitted by law. However, the contents may be disclosed to third parties for purpose of verification, or investigation of substantial allegations, or in an appeal hearing. State law requires that the names of contractors applying for prequalification status shall be public records subject to disclosure, and the first page of the questionnaire will be used for that purpose.

Each questionnaire must be signed under penalty of perjury in the manner designated at the end of the form, by an individual who has the legal authority to bind the Contractor on whose behalf that person is signing. If any information provided by a Contractor becomes inaccurate, the Contractor must immediately notify the CITY and provide updated accurate information in writing, under penalty of perjury.

The CITY reserves the right to waive minor irregularities and omissions in the information contained in the prequalification application submitted, and to make all final determinations. The CITY may also determine at any time that the prequalification process will be suspended for the Project and the Project will be bid without prequalification.

Contractors may submit prequalification packages during regular working hours on any day that the offices of the CITY are open. Contractors who submit a complete prequalification package will be notified of their qualification status no later than ten business days after submission of the information.

The CITY may refuse to grant prequalification where the requested information and materials are not provided by the due date indicated above. There is no appeal from a refusal for an incomplete or late application, but re-application for a later project is permitted. Neither the closing time for submitting prequalification packages for this Project will be changed in order to accommodate supplementation of incomplete submissions, or late submissions, unless requested by the CITY in its sole discretion.

In addition to a contractor’s failure to be pre-qualified pursuant to the scoring system set forth in the prequalification package, a contractor may be found not prequalified for either omission of or falsification of, any requested information.

Where a timely and completed application results in a rating below that necessary to pre-qualify, an appeal can be made by the unsuccessful Contractor. An appeal is begun by the Contractor delivering notice to the CITY of its appeal of the decision with respect to its prequalification rating, no later than two business days following notification that it is not pre-qualified. The notice of appeal shall include an address where the Contractor wishes to receive notice of the appeal hearing. Without a timely appeal, the Contractor waives any and all rights to challenge the decision of the CITY, whether by administrative process, judicial process or any other legal process or proceeding.

If the Contractor gives the required notice of appeal, a hearing shall be conducted no earlier than five business days after the CITY’s receipt of the notice of appeal and not later than five business days prior to the date of the Notice Inviting Bids for this Project. Prior to the hearing, the Contractor shall, in writing, be advised of the basis for the City’s pre-qualification determination.

The hearing shall be conducted by a panel consisting of three members of the Public Works Department senior management staff (the “Appeals Panel”). The Appeals Panel shall consider any evidence presented by the Contractor, whether or not the evidence is presented in compliance with formal rules of evidence. The Contractor will be given the opportunity to present evidence, information and arguments as to why the Contractor believes it should be pre-qualified. Within one day after the conclusion of the hearing, the Appeals Panel will render a written determination as to whether the Contractor is pre-qualified. It is the intention of the CITY that the date for the submission and opening of bids will not be delayed or postponed to allow for completion of an appeal process.
