STAFF REPORT
CONSENT
ITEM NUMBER: 8.
TITLE
Telstar Instruments Agreement
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolu&on approving an agreement with Telstar Instruments for a SCADA upgrade solu&on for the water reclamation facility in an amount not to exceed $250,000.
CONTACT
Erica Ahmann Smithies, P.E., Public Works Director
Norman Woods, Assistant Public Works Director - Utilities and Environmental Services Juan Gomez, Assistant City Manager
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
Since 2002, City staff has relied on the originally installed legacy Supervisory Control and Data Acquisi&on (SCADA) system at the Water Reclama&on Facility (WRF), which runs RSView Works so<ware by Rockwell Automa&on (Allen-Bradley). Although a so<ware upgrade was implemented in 2014, RSView is now significantly outdated and limits the op&miza&on of opera&onal controls.
Addi&onally, the rise of modern cybersecurity threats poses increased risk to the integrity of cri&cal infrastructure systems like the WRF.
The WRF treats two parallel process streams, domestic and industrial, making it a vital component of both public health and economic stability for the community. Upgrading the SCADA system is necessary to modernize facility opera&ons, improve data collec&on and management, enhance regulatory compliance, strengthen cybersecurity protec&ons, and support the ongoing health and safety of the community. As the City con&nues to grow, so do the domes&c and industrial demands placed on the WRF, necessita&ng more robust opera&onal capabili&es, staff training, and technology solutions.
The proposed SCADA upgrade will enable WRF staff to efficiently monitor and control facility opera&ons, both on-site and remotely. Key func&onali&es will include real-&me data collec&on, alarm management, emergency response coordina&on, li< sta&on monitoring, and automated control adjustments. The system will also improve the accuracy and accessibility of reports, data tracking, and trend analysis—tools that are essen&al for informed opera&onal planning and longterm strategy development. These enhancements will beDer posi&on the WRF to meet the 17 challenges of a growing city and ensure continued compliance with evolving state regulations.
A request for proposals was issued through the City's online portal OpenGov on February 26, 2025 and 5 responses were received on March 24, 2025. Out of the 6 submiDals, Telstar Instruments was selected for the SCADA Project at the Water Reclama&on Facility based on several cri&cal factors that set the company apart as the most qualified vendor. Their close proximity to the facility ensures limited emergency response &mes, allowing for rapid on-site support when urgent issues arise.
Telstar has provided over a decade of consistent and dependable technical assistance to the facility, developing a strong working knowledge of its systems and infrastructure. In addi&on, the company holds an excellent reputa&on in the industry, supported by strong references and a proven track record. Their deep historical knowledge of the facility’s current SCADA so<ware makes them uniquely equipped to implement system upgrades efficiently and with minimal opera&onal disruption.
COUNCIL PRIORITY PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS
Organizational Effectiveness: "Deliver exemplary government services."
FISCAL IMPACT
The Water Reclama&on SCADA upgrade implementa&on cost of $250,000 has already been budgeted in FY 2024/25 under capital project WW16-0300. Annual Igni&on SCADA so<ware service fees of $2,800 for FY 2025/26 and $3,000for FY 2026/27 will be included in each division’s Informa&on Technology Support Services account (42150).

Adopt a Resolu)on authorizing the City Manager to execute Task Order #6 with Coastland Civil Engineering, Inc. for Construction Inspection services in an amount not to exceed $500,000.
CONTACT
Erica Ahmann Smithies, P.E., Public Works Director
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
Demand for development construc)on inspec)on fluctuates over )me. Staff currently expects the need for assistance with development projects will remain high for the foreseeable future. The City maintains permanent staffing levels at the mid-range of demands; it does not “staff up” to accommodate peak demands. Instead, the City maintains a cadre of experienced outside consultants to assist City staff as needed throughout the year.
Coastland Civil Engineering, Inc. (Coastland) has been providing Construc)on Inspec)on services for Development since 2021 to ensure that new infrastructure meets City Standards. Coastland consistently provides high quality work and con)nues to meet the City’s needs. An)cipated development includes a mul)tude of projects in Watson Ranch and Oat Hill. The services provided by Coastland are reimbursed by Developers.
Staff believes con)nuing with Coastland will provide consistent service for the City and the Developers, and proposes to issue Task Order #6 for FY 25/26 in an amount not to exceed $500,000.
COUNCIL PRIORITY PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS
Infrastructure: "Develop and maintain infrastructure resources to support sustainable growth."
FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed FY 25/26 budget includes sufficient funds for the recommended ac)on in Development Engineering Professional Services 105-60-660-42160 and will be offset by Developer reimbursements.

Chemical Purchases FY2025-26
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolu)on authorizing the purchase of chemicals for the Water Enterprise in the amount not to exceed $585,000; for the Wastewater Enterprise in the amount of $45,000 and for the Recycled Water Enterprise in the amount of $80,000 for FY 2025/26.

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
The City cooperates with other local agencies to obtain bulk pricing for chemicals to aid in the treatment of drinking water, wastewater and recycled water. The “North Bay Agency Chemical Pool” is comprised of the ci)es of American Canyon, Napa, Vallejo, Fairfield, Vacaville and others. The City has par)cipated in the “Pool” since 1994. Each Fiscal Year, this process ensures the City receives the best possible prices from vendors.
Sodium Hydroxide is used to adjust pH depending on source water quality. Sodium Hypochlorite is used in the disinfec)on process of finished potable and recycled water. The disinfec)on process and pH adjustments help control and mi)gate the forma)on of disinfec)on byproducts and opera)onal changes made in this regard can result in a change of consumables. Aluminum sulfate is used in water purifica)on. In water purifica)on, it causes suspended impuri)es to coagulate into larger particles and then settle to the bottom to be filtered out.
For FY 2025/26, the lowest responsive and responsible bidders for the Pool are as follows:
Vendor Chemical
Chemtrade
Aluminum Sulfate (Acid
Alum, Full)
Univar
Sodium Hydroxide (25%
NaOH, Full)
38 Thatcher
Sodium Hypochlorite
(12.5% NaOCI, Short)
Other chemicals outside the Consor)um are Pro Pac 9890, CT-00011 and CC950S which are advanced engineered coagulants that enhance organic removal assis)ng in reduc)on of Disinfec)on-By-Products and improves overall plant performances. By using advanced coagulants, it reduces other chemicals. Citric Acid is a weak acid made of citrus fruits, it is used in water chemistry for stabiliza)on, neutraliza)on and removes inorganic material from the membrane filters. These chemicals are obtained from NTU Technologies, Inc., BWS, Inc., USALCO, LLC and Thatcher.
It is an)cipated that the cost of Chemicals will be $585,000 for the Water Enterprise; $45,000 for the Wastewater Enterprise and $80,000 for the Recycled Water Enterprise. These amounts have been budgeted in FY2025/26.
COUNCIL PRIORITY PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS
Infrastructure: "Develop and maintain infrastructure resources to support sustainable growth."
FISCAL IMPACT
The FY2025/26 Budget includes sufficient funds for chemical purchases in Water Enterprise 510-50- 560-43115, Wastewater Enterprise 540-50-570-43115 and Recycled Water Enterprise 580-50-590- 43115 to implement the recommended action.

Taylor Bailey Construction Amendment No. 2
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolu*on authorizing Amendment No. 2 to Agreement No. 2024-A134 with Taylor Bailey Construc*on for Independent Contractor Services in conjunc*on with the Water Treatment Plant septic system replacement for a total not to exceed $114,999.01.
CONTACT
Erica Ahmann Smithies, P.E., Public Works Director
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
In 2023, the need for a new sep*c system was iden*fied at the Water Treatment Plant when it was determined the exis*ng system built in the 1970's was star*ng to fail at the facility. Staff worked with one of the City's on-call design firms, RSA+ of Napa, to work on a new sep*c loca*on and coordinate permitting with the County of Napa for the needed improvements.
The project was approved and ready for permi?ng by the County in May 2024. Staff solicited proposals from several construc*on companies and Taylor-Bailey Construc*on was the sole bidder for an amount not to exceed $95,480.00
On August 27, 2024, Agreement No. 2024-A134 was executed in the amount of $95,480.00 with Taylor-Bailey Construction to furnish and install a new septic system at the Water Treatment Plant.
On December 6, 2024, Amendment No. 1 was executed for the cost of bonds in the amount of $3,436.80 not included in the original construction proposal.
Work was substan*ally completed in mid-December with only punchlist items remaining. However, aDer back to back storms in December and January, one of the tanks was showing signs of distress and needed to be replaced by the contractor. The tank had been repurposed from an earlier City project at the direc*on of staff, therefore the City is obligated to pay for the addi*onal work in the amount of $16,082.21.
42 FISCAL IMPACT
Sufficient funding is available in the Water Opera*ons Fund to cover the addi*onal cost of $16,082.21.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
15302 - The Project is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") under the Class 2 exemp*on of replacement or reconstruc*on of exis*ng facili*es of Sec*on 15302 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regula*ons and said exemp*on is not negated by any excep*on under Section 15300.2 of said Regulations.

City Hall Roof Replacement Award of Contract
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolu+on awarding a contract to Modern Method Roofing in the amount of $105,850 and authorizing the Public Works Director to approve contract change orders in an aggregate amount not to exceed the budget of $140,000 in conjunc+on with the City Hall Roof Replacement Project (CF23-0100).
CONTACT
Erica Ahmann Smithies, P.E., Public Works Director
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
The low slope por+on of the City Hall roof has reached the end of its useful life and has been prone to leaks the past couple of winters. While repairs have been made the recommenda+on is to overlay the exis+ng roof with a 60 mil poly vinyl chloride (PVC) heat welded, Title 24 "Cool" roof, single ply membrane system. The PVC type of roof carries a 20-year manufacturer's materials warranty.
The project was es+mated to cost less than $225,000 therefore qualified to be bid informally per the bidding threshold of the California Uniform Construc+on Cost Accoun+ng (CUPCCA) policies. Roofing contractors from the City's CUPCAA list were invited to bid on the roof project with only one responsive bid received by Modern Method Roofing of Napa in the amount of $105,850.
Modern Method has successfully completed projects for the City and neighboring agencies over the years and staff recommends the contract for award. Any addi+onal repair work that may be discovered during the course of work (i.e. water damage) may be authorized by the Public Works Director via contract change order up to the approved project budget. The work is an+cipated to start in July 2025 and take approximately 8-16 working days pending weather.

Increase to the Fire District’s Development and Fire Capital Facili)es Fee for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 by the change in the Consumer Price Index.
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolu)on approving an increase to the American Canyon Fire Protec)on District’s Development Impact Fee and Fire Capital Facili)es Fee for All New Construc)on and New Development to Fund Fire Protec)on Services for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 by the Change in the Consumer Price Index of 1.3%.

Geoff Belyea, Fire Chief
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
On January 24, 2023, at a Regular Fire Board Mee)ng, the Board adopted Resolu)on 2023-05. This resolu)on ini)ated the process of implemen)ng a fee to offset the rising costs that new development imposes on the District. The Board resolved to collaborate with the City of American Canyon to implement this fee for proper)es within both the City and the District, and with the County of Napa for properties within both the District and the County.
Subsequently, on March 21, 2023, the City of American Canyon adopted Ordinance 2023-02. Sec)on 2, item H of this ordinance s)pulates that the Fire Capital Facili)es Fee shall automa)cally be adjusted annually on July 1, based on the change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the San Francisco/Oakland/San Jose area for the twelve-month period ending the preceding April.
In accordance with Ordinance 2023-02, it is recommended that the Development Impact Fee for all new construc)on and new developments, which is intended to fund fire protec)on services, be increased by the cost-of-living adjustment of 1.3%. This adjustment aligns with the CPI increase for the specified region.
If approved, this adjustment will result in the Impact Fee increasing from one dollar and two cents ($1.02) per square foot to one dollar and three cents ($1.03) per square foot, represen)ng a one cent ($0.01) increase.
50 COUNCIL PRIORITY PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS
Public Safety: "Ensure American Canyon remains a safe community."
FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact of applying the 1.3% CPI increase to the Development Impact Fee will result in the fee increasing from one dollar and two cents ($1.02) to one dollar and three cents ($1.03) per square foot. This represents a one cent ($0.01) increase.

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
Janitorial services are a necessity throughout city owned facili-es. The Public Works Department has one employee for the Building Maintenance division that must carry out all day-to-day and specialty maintenance, which makes it necessary to contract out janitorial services.
In February 2025, staff posted a Request for Proposals through OpenGov, the City's procurement portal. Through that process, eight (8) proposals were received in March 2025. Of those proposals, one (1) company was previously u-lized, and staff was not pleased with their performance and three (3) others seemed to have had errors in their bid tabulations. The annual base costs for each:
Karla's Janitorial $128,000
Univeral Building Services $159,000
Built Clean $182,000
CBJ Building Maintenance $198,000
Premier Property Preservation $201,000
JJ Janitorial Services $255,500
ABM $258,000
Vested Solutions $410,500
57 Staff recommends contrac-ng with Premier Property Preserva-on, LLC as they were the most responsible proposer. The contract term would be for one (1) year with two (2) one (1) year extensions to be approved by the City Manager. The total annual contract will be for $201,000 which includes special event pricing of an average of 48 events per year.
COUNCIL PRIORITY PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS
Organizational Effectiveness: "Deliver exemplary government services."
FISCAL IMPACT
Staff es-mates the total contract for the first year should not exceed $201,000 with the inclusion of added costs for cleaning aGer special events. Special events were calculated at an average of 48 annually at an amount of $8,700 over the base bid. Funds were budgeted in the ISF Building Maintenance Fund 651-50-535-42190.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
15378(b) - The ac-on is not a "Project" subject to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") because it does not qualify as a "Project" under Public Resources Code Sec-ons 21065 and 21080 and in Section 15378(b) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations.

TITLE
Appropriations Limit for Fiscal Year 2025-26
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution establishing the Appropriations Limit of $24,403,653 for Fiscal Year 2025-26.
CONTACT
Jemelyn Cruz, Finance Director
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
State law requires local agencies to set an appropria5on limit each fiscal year. Only certain annual budget appropria5ons from proceeds of taxes, as defined by the law and accepted statewide guidelines, are subject to the limit. The appropria5ons limit is revised annually, usually upward, by a formula that uses a combina5on of percent changes in Statewide Per Capita Income (PCI) or Nonresidential assessed valuation, if available, and City or County Population.
In November 1979, the people of California added Ar5cle XIIIB to the State Cons5tu5on, which placed limita5ons on the appropria5ons of State and local governments. The Ar5cle was implemented by State Legisla5on that defined the process to calculate the appropria5ons limit and required that ci5es adopt a resolu5on se?ng an annual appropria5ons limit. The base year was set as fiscal year 1978-1979 and the first appropria5ons limit was applied to qualifying public agencies budgets for fiscal year 1980-1981.
In June 1990, the people approved Proposi5on 111, which, among other things, amended Ar5cle XIII-B. The amendment made significant changes to how the limit was calculated, what appropria5ons were subject to the limit, and added City Council resolu5on and independent audit requirements. One of the significant changes was to allow the City to make two choices when computing the appropriations limit:
• Infla5on factor - choose between per capita income or increase in non-residen5al assessed valuation due to new construction
• Population factor – choose between City population growth and County population growth. 60 There are no penal5es under Ar5cle XIIIB for failure to adopt a limit. Compliance with the law is intended to be locally enforced by ci5zens. The State Government Code limits challenges in civil court to the appropriations limit calculation to a 45-day period after adoption.
If the por5on of the City Budget that is subject to the appropria5ons limit exceeds the limit, the City can carry over the excess amount one year. If, aFer the second year, the City s5ll exceeds the limit, the voters can approve a temporary override or the City would need to refund the excess amount to the people by lowering taxes or fees.
Updated Appropriations Limit
The change in the appropria5ons limit is calculated annually by staff from the informa5on provided by the State Department of Finance each May. Consistent formulas are used to ensure an accurate calculation.
Proceeds of Taxes and Appropriations Subject to Limit
AFer the annual appropria5ons limit is calculated, the appropria5ons that are subject to the limit are determined. The appropria5ons limit only applies to appropria5ons that are funded from proceeds of taxes. Proceeds of taxes are fairly well defined in the statewide guidelines; however, the method to determine which appropriations are from proceeds of taxes can be complicated.
FY 2025-26 Appropriation Limit
The Fiscal Year 2025-26 appropria5ons limit was calculated using the Statewide Per Capita Personal Income increase of 6.44% and the City popula5on increase of 2.94%. When applying these factors, the prior year limit increased by 9.57%.
City Limit
The appropria5ons limit increased $2,335,430 to $26,739,083 (Resolu5on in ALachment 1).
Appropria5ons that are subject to the limit are $21,611,417 so the City is under the appropria5on limit by $5,127,666. The detail computa5ons are presented in the Appropria5ons Spending Limit Worksheet (Attachment 2).
Public Notice
As required by State Law, detailed worksheets suppor5ng the appropria5on limit calcula5ons have been available for review by the public in the City Clerk’s Office. Also, as required, a public notice has been published for this meeting to adopt the appropriations resolution.

Veolia Water Technologies and Solutions Contract Amendment
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolu+on authorizing Amendment No. 1 to Agreement No. 2024-A151 with Veolia Water Technologies and Solu+ons, increasing the contract amount by $46,396 for a total amount not to exceed $670,662 for Fiscal Year 25/26 and amending the Fiscal Year 2025/26 budget to increase Wastewater Operations Fund 540 by $233,285 and Wastewater Capacity Fund 550 by $23,198.

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
The wastewater treatment process at the City’s Water Reclama+on Facility (WRF), also known as the Wastewater Treatment Plant, involves two primary methods: biochemical treatment and physical screening. Wastewater inflows fluctuate significantly in volume and composi+on throughout the day, month, and year. Despite this variability, the city is mandated to maintain consistently high effluent quality at all +mes. Therefore, it is essen+al to ensure that the WRF has sufficient hydraulic and biochemical treatment capacity to protect the environment and supply a reliable, con+nuous source of recycled water to customers.
There are financial risks associated with maintaining a plant at less than the needed capacity, in addi+on to procuring the required materials to maintain opera+onal/strategic equipment control. If we cannot produce a reliable stream of recycled water, we would have to acquire potable or raw water at a much higher cost. Addi+onally, in a high storm event, we risk spilling stored influent into the wetlands and associated fines. Finally, we risk being unable to keep up with the requirements of future growth in the community.
On October 15, 2024, the City of American Canyon adopted a Resolu+on authorizing the City Manager to execute a purchase agreement with Veolia Water Technologies and Solu+ons for the procurement of eight hundred ninety-six (896) "ZW500D RX12 430 J²” membrane modules, twelve (12) ZW500D LEAPmbr 16M casseMe frames, and associated materials for exis+ng casseMe 66 refurbishment and LEAPmbr upgrade, for use at the Water Reclama+on Facility for a total cost of $3,121,330 and amending the Fiscal Year 2024/25 budget to increase Wastewater Opera+ons Fund 540 to $422,087 and Wastewater Capacity Fee Fund 550 to $202,179 to account for the current Year 1 membrane cost of $624,266.
A na+onal administra+on change has led to policies and implementa+on of tariffs that have led to an increase in for the membranes, casseMes, and associated materials required for the membrane refurbishment.
COUNCIL PRIORITY PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS
Infrastructure: "Develop and maintain infrastructure resources to support sustainable growth."
FISCAL IMPACT
The cost of purchasing new membranes ($3,121,330) is proposed to be paid over a period of five years. The exis+ng membrane replacements were included in the recently adopted wastewater user fee structure and will u+lize opera+ng budget ($2,110,433), the cost for membranes that increase the plant's hydraulic capacity will u+lize wastewater capacity fee budget ($1,010,897). The annual cost of the replacements ($670,662) will be included in the Wastewater Opera+ons Fund 540 ($445,285) and Wastewater Capacity Fee Fund 550 ($225,377) FY2026-2027 Budget and each successive year thereaJer for five years. The Fiscal Year 2025/26 budget was approved with $212,000 earmarked for membranes in Fund 540 and $207,179 in Fund 550. To account for the current Year 2 membrane cost of $670,662, Wastewater Opera+ons line item 540-50-570-46130 will be increased by $233,285 and Wastewater Capacity Fee line item 550-85-450-46130 will be increased by $23,198.
With the vola+le nature of the tariffs being implemented, the need to adjust the budget annually may be required.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
15301 - The Project is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") under the Class 1 exemp+on of exis+ng facili+es of Sec+on 15301 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations and said exemption is not negated by any exception under Section 15300.2 of said Regulations.

Membrane Replacement Agreement for the American Canyon WWTP Proposal number 615771 – revision # 2 – September 24, 2024 Page 4 of 28 1 Introduction
Veolia Water Technologies & Solutions is pleased to present this proposal to the City of American Canyon for a Membrane Replacement Agreement ( MRA) for replacement and additional wastewater membranes at the American Canyon Wastewater Treatment Plant.
It is expected that American Canyon will require replacement and additional membranes within the next 5 years and that membrane replacement will be staggered, with one train replaced per replacement event.
Veolia will provide our latest wastewater membrane, the ZW500D RX12, with 430ft2 of surface area per membrane. See Attachment A for further product information.
The scope of this agreement will include the following:
ZW500D RX12 430ft2 replacement and additional membranes; ZW500D 16M LEAPmbr cassettes;
ZW500D cassette refurbishment components – 16M;
Components and off-site support to upgrade existing cassettes to LEAPmbr aeration;
On-site membrane installation, cassette refurbishment and LEAPmbr upgrade assistance.
Details of the scope are set out in the sections below.
Veolia is a proven leader in delivering tangible value to our clients over the life of the plant.
Our measure of success is how well we deliver solutions that help our clients meet their critical business objectives. Benefits of this agreement include:
Timely lifecycle costs over the period of the agreement Planned membrane replacement
Through long-acquired membrane experience, Veolia has clearly distinguished itself from other membrane manufacturers. A mature service culture and deep technical expertise are at the ready to serve and support American Canyon through this next membrane lifecycle.
Veolia would like to note that under the current exceptional circumstances across global supply chains and logistics networks, Veolia may not be in a position to guarantee and comply with the planned schedule for product / project delivery or performance. Veolia reserves the right to modify the schedule / contract accordingly. Veolia will promptly inform you of any changes which may impact the contract.
87 Veolia Confidential and Proprietary Information
Membrane Replacement Agreement for the American Canyon WWTP Proposal number 615771 – revision # 2 – September 24, 2024 Page 5 of 28 2 Membrane Replacement Agreement
Through the term of this agreement, Veolia will provide a quantity of membranes to replace the existing full plant of ZW500D 370ft2 membranes, and additional membranes and cassettes to populate all existing cassette spaces at the American Canyon WWTP.
Based on the projected life of the current membranes and the planned start date of this agreement, Veolia anticipates the following replacement schedule*:
Agreement Year: 1 2 3 4 5 Total
370f2 membranes replaced 176 176 176 176 --- 704
430ft2 membranes provided 224 224 224 224 --- 896
Through the term of this agreement, Veolia will work with American Canyon to determine the actual timing of replacement events based on plant performance and membrane condition, with the ultimate goal to maximize membrane life.
It is possible that, through virtue of good membrane management and plant operation, American Canyon may extend membrane life of the current membranes beyond the end date of this agreement. To avoid unnecessary premature replacement, American Canyon may choose to defer delivery of membranes into a future year provided that all membranes are received and accepted within a 3-year period following final billing for the agreement.
This membrane replacement agreement provides assurance to the City of American Canyon that over the course of the agreement, Veolia will provide the membrane modules specified or equivalent for use at the American Canyon WWTP.
For optimal economics and to follow best membrane replacement practices, pricing is based on replacing multiples of at least 1 train worth of membranes at a time. Should American Canyon request quantities other than a minimum of 1 full train per installation event over the term of this agreement, an adjustment to the annual invoice may be made to account for additional costs.
Pricing is based on the proposed replacement schedule provided in the table above. If the actual shipment schedule is accelerated, additional cost/payments may be required. 88 Veolia Confidential and Proprietary Information

Membrane Replacement Agreement for the American Canyon WWTP Proposal number 615771 – revision # 2 – September 24, 2024 Page 16 of 28 9 Solution Design Notes
9.1 Permits
Regulatory Requirements
American Canyon is responsible to review and report to the permit granting agency on the impact of any of the proposed changes on the regulatory permit. Veolia will provide the necessary manufacturer’ s technical support on regulatory issues.
Please speak with your regional lifecycle manager (RLM) if there are any regulatory requirements or concerns.
Utilization
Veolia understands that these modules are required as replacements for currently installed modules, and additional modules to fill existing spaces.
These modules are offered on the basis that the membrane modules will not be used to provide expanded flow beyond the current plant flow rating.
Replacing the current 704 x 370ft2 membranes with 704 x 430ft2 membranes provides a
16.2% surface area increase. Adding an additional 3 x 16M cassettes per train of ZW500D 430ft² modules brings the total surface area increase of the plant to 47.9%.
It is Veolia’s understanding that the cassette support system (beams and brackets) is already installed in the spare space. If this is not so, please advise Veolia and request that this be added to the proposal.
Production Interruption
During installation of the ZeeWeed cassettes, trains will be shut down which will affect American Canyon treatment capacity. After the purchase order is acknowledged, Veolia’s project manager for the installation will consult with American Canyon to jointly develop the installation plan and work schedule with due regard for membrane delivery to the plant and plant preparation.
9.2 Maintenance Notes for Replacement Membranes
At the time of any full plant or full train membrane replacement, it is recommended to evaluate whether it is the right time to address any tank coating repairs which may be required.
Preferential Flow
Mixing a small proportion of new modules in trains with large amounts of older modules is not recommended as it creates a risk of over-fluxing of new modules, which can shorten their lives. For ZW500D membranes, the mixing of old and new modules in the same cassette makes slack adjustment more difficult. Veolia recommends that American Canyon plan membrane module replacement on a complete cassette and complete train basis wherever possible to achieve both optimal performance and best value from the new 99 Veolia Confidential and Proprietary Information
Membrane Replacement Agreement for the American Canyon WWTP Proposal number 615771 – revision # 2 – September 24, 2024 Page 17 of 28 membrane modules. In this case, by replacing all membrane modules in the plant on a per train basis, this risk has been neutralized.
Membrane Slack
Veolia’s membranes are supplied and shipped with an initial factory fiber slack designed to optimize membrane air scouring during operation as well as accommodate a degree of shrinkage. Membranes shrink in length early in their lifecycle when exposed to higher temperature water. The pace of shrinkage slows with age. With the installation of new membranes, the requirements for slack adjustment start a new cycle.
Due to the wide variety of operating environments in which our products can be utilized, it is difficult to generally predict the rate of shrinkage. If membranes operate in a condition of insufficient slack for an extended period of time, irreversible damage to the fiber-urethane bond may occur. Please refer below to the recommended inspection frequencies based on your plant’s membrane tank operating temperature. Visual inspections should begin during the membrane installation and be repeated over time on the same cassette. Digital pictures will allow for comparative analysis of the fiber slack over time.
Maximum Operating Temperature Recommended Slack Inspection Frequency 0-24 °C / 32-76 °F every 2 years
25-30 °C / 77-86 °F once per year
30 °C / > 86 °F twice per year
Bubble Test Pressure
The bubble test pressure for the purchased membranes is 2 psi horizontally and 3 psi vertically.
9.3 Technical
Module Upgrade – 370ft² vs 430ft²
Upgrading from the ZeeWeed 500D 370ft² module to ZeeWeed 500D 430ft² module offers the following advantages:
16.2% increase in membrane module surface area;
Increased membrane module surface area without any changes to the overall dimensions of the module;
No increase in chemicals for maintenance or recovery cleans due to increased surface area;
Improved membrane chemistry that allows for greater permeate productivity per square foot of membrane area without impacting water quality. 100
Veolia Confidential and Proprietary Information
Membrane Replacement Agreement for the American Canyon WWTP Proposal number 615771 – revision # 2 – September 24, 2024 Page 18 of 28 Other Considerations
Hoses & Fittings
Veolia has assumed for this proposal that the aeration and permeate cassette connections for the ZW500D cassettes currently in operation do not need replacing at this time. If this is not so, please advise Veolia and request that they be added to this proposal.
Blowers
For the purposes of this proposal, the range of blower capacity has been assumed to be adequate for this upgrade.
Should resheaving parts be required they can be supplied by Veolia at additional cost to American Canyon or alternatively Veolia will assist in specifying the needed components.
Mechanical and electrical adjustments required to meet new air flow will be completed by American Canyon or their 3rd party designate. Veolia will provide American Canyon correct air flow requirements for the new plant configuration.
Pre-Screen
Trash and non-biodegradable solids, such as hair, lint, grit and plastics may foul or damage the membranes if allowed to pass into the membrane chamber. Veolia recommends that an internally-fed screen with mesh or punched-hole openings less than or equal to 2 mm with no possibility of bypass or carryover be operated upstream of the new membranes to ensure effective operation and to maximize membrane life. 10 Health & Safety
American Canyon
American Canyon will provide orientation to Seller’s personnel to ensure sitespecific safety protocols are known.

Of the two (2) proposals received, BrightView was the lowest and responsible proposer.
It is recommended to approve a resolu+on to contract with BrightView Landscape Services, Inc. as they present a firm understanding of what is required, the vendor adheres to the City's IPM policy as it pertains to u+lizing non-glysophate products, and the pricing is significantly lower than the other proposer demonstra+ng a cost savings.

QUALITY CONTROL: COMMUNICATION AND REPORTING
To ensure a successful partnership, effective communication is one of our top priorities. We believe strongly in being proactive in our communication and have designed several forms and checklists our customers find valuable for staying apprised of theirlandscape status and maintenance activity. Additionally, we are equipped to respond quickly to new and unexpected needs as they arise.
Our Quality Site Assessment (QSA) ensures transparency and accountability in maintaining your landscapes. This includes:
• Inspect sites weekly during all seasons
• Report our maintenance activities in
compliance with RFP
• Provide digital photos to verify technical issues,
damage, and plant and tree health
• You have 24/7 access to your Account
Manager by telephone and email. All issues
that arise will be treated with a sense of
urgency and addressed with due diligence.
• Emergencies that occur outside of regular business hours will be dealt with depending on the severity of the situation. You can expect a response and proposed solutions to after hour’s emergencies within two hours or less.
• We judge our success by the complete
satisfaction of our customers. We continually
collect feedback through a comprehensive
customer satisfaction program. We use the
valuable insight gained through our survey
program to determine system improvements
and guide the content of our employee training
program.
• Every customer we partner with has the
opportunity to formally evaluate our work
product, service and relationship at least once a
year through our Client Satisfaction Survey via a
third-party vendor. Your feedback is important to
us. We pay attention to the survey results and
follow-up with a summary of each one to learn
how we can improve.

JOB SAFETY
BrightView is the landscape partner who believes safety is much more than the gear we wear – it’s woven into the fabric of our company.
In the landscape industry, the average OSHA Total Recordable Incident Rate is 4.20. At BrightView, our number is consistently well below; in fact, last year our rate was 1.5. We’re sharing this because we believe that when it comes to safety, there’s no reason to be shy.
Train, Check, & Reinforce
Team members undergo extensive vetting and
training before they serve you, including E-Verify, initial and ongoing driving record checks and drug and alcohol
screenings. New hires undergo our safety orientation and must receive certification for every piece of power equipment they’ll use. We also utilize a buddy system for new hires, pairing them with more tenured team members who help them learn the ropes.
However, our focus on safety doesn’t end there. Crews participate in weekly safety meetings, which review how to avoid hazards relevant to the current season. Our management teams also participate in a weekly safety call, where they review any opportunities for improvement and strategize how to address them. Finally, we conduct periodic jobsite inspections to ensure safety best practices are always in use at your facility.
But it’s not all work and no play. We believe safety should be celebrated. That’s why we’ve created a reward system for safety compliance and make recognition of those who have exhibited good safety behaviors a key part of our morning pre-dispatch routine.
Before We Arrive
Our safety preparations begin well
before we set foot on your property.
Teams begin the day with “Stretch and
Flex”—a time for everyone to stretch
together to prevent soft tissue injuries,
review safety practices, and discuss any
potential hazards. Before leaving the
yard, we inspect our personal
protective equipment (which we
require and provide), supplies, and ensure an ample supply of water to keep the team well hydrated. Finally, we inspect our trucks and trailers to ensure they’re roadworthy and compliant with regulatory agencies. These daily inspections help us remedy and identify any deficiencies that could cause harm to our teams or the public.

On Your Properties
We’re easy to spot, but that’s intentional. Our attire is designed to make it easy to identify who is part of our crew and enhance visibility for your safety and ours. In addition to our company-issued PPE, our crews are fully uniformed in seasonally appropriate gear, which always includes name badges and safety vests. Our vehicles are logoed and feature our distinctive livery, while cones are used to mark safety zones.
However, what’s not visible is one of the features we’re most proud of: our Stop Work Authority. The Stop Work Authority empowers every team member to take safety into their own hands. Crew members are encouraged to stop a job if they personally feel unsafe, or witness something that could put a teammate or the public in peril.
Continuous Improvement
Though our OSHA incident rate is significantly better than the industry average, there are always opportunities to improve. Hazards, near misses, and concerns are always submitted to our Branch Safety Leaders for review and correction, if needed. In the event of an injury, a root cause analysis is conducted to ensure future incidences are prevented.
We’re proud of our safety program, but that’s not the only reason we’re sharing these details. We’re providing this information because we believe it should be readily available to you, to aid in your selection process. The patients who entrust you with their care have confidence they’ll be in good hands. We want you to have that same confidence in us.
Additional Safety Measures Include
• New Hire Safety Orientation
• New Hires Wear Orange Vests for Better Oversight
• Extensive Driver Safety Certification Program
• Certification Required to Use All Power Equipment
• Take 2-Two Inspection at Each Job Every Day
• Mandatory Weekly Field Crew Safety Meetings
• Reward System for Safety Compliance
• Weekly Management Safety Calls
• Certified in Traffic Control

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA
JUNE 17, 2025
STAFF REPORT
BUSINESS
ITEM NUMBER: 20.
TITLE
Fiscal Year 2025/2026 Salary Schedule
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution Approving the Fiscal Year 2025/2026 Salary Schedule.
CONTACT
Juan Gomez, Assistant City Manager
Scott Corey, Human Resources Officer II
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
The City Council approves all employee salaries, classifica4on 4tles and changes. The California Government Code requires pay rates for employees be established pursuant to a “publicly available” salary schedule that includes certain informa4on, such as posi4on 4tle and pay range. To sa4sfy this requirement, it is necessary for the Council to adopt a Resolu4on approving the Fiscal Year 2025/2026 Salary Schedule (the "Schedule") consistent with funding appropriated by the adoption of the Fiscal Year 2025/2026 budget (the "Budget") on June 3.
The new Schedule reflects changes to employees’ salaries based on the current Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) with the two employee bargaining units, and the Unrepresented Compensa4on Program (Unrepresented Program). Each of these documents provide for a minimum 2% and maximum 5% cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) for Fiscal Year 2025/2026 based on the Consumer Price Index as reported by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Sta4s4cs for the month of April 2025.
The Schedule includes a 2% COLA for classifica4ons in the bargaining units and/or covered by the Unrepresented Program, and for those Temporary classifica4ons indexed to similar Regular classifica4ons. The City Manager's salary is increased 2%, per the terms and condi4ons of the current Employment Agreement.
The City completed organiza4onal assessments for the Communica4ons Division, Public Works and Finance Departments, and assisted in a study led by the American Canyon Fire Protec4on District.
The proposed Schedule amends the compensa4on plan to add or update job classifica4ons consistent with approved improvements to the City’s opera4ons and organiza4onal structure, including Communica4ons and Engagement Coordinator I/II, Communica4ons and Engagement Supervisor, Deputy City Manager, Finance Director and Fire Administrative Division Manager. 162
The new salaries will go into effect the first full pay period following July 1, 2025.
Pursuant to California Government Code sec4on 54953(c)(3), the ac4on recommended in this report would cons4tute a final ac4on on the salary or salary schedule of one or more local agency executives, which shall be orally reported prior to a Council vote.
COUNCIL PRIORITY PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS
Organizational Effectiveness: "Deliver exemplary government services."
FISCAL IMPACT
Funding for these increases is included in the City's Adopted Fiscal Year 2025/2026 Budget.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
15378(b) - The ac4on is not a "Project" subject to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") because it does not qualify as a "Project" under Public Resources Code Sec4ons 21065 and 21080 and in Section 15378(b) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations.

Financial Planning Update
This
week, I attended the American Canyon Fire Protection District Finance Committee meeting alongside Vice Mayor Mark Joseph. We reviewed the current financial standing of our Fire District, and I’m pleased to report that we are tracking well.

Event Title: * Coca Cola Job Fair
Event Report: Supporting
Coca-Cola Employees at the Job Fair
This
week, I had the opportunity to attend a job fair organized by Coca-Cola, designed specifically to support employees affected by the upcoming closure of the American Canyon facility.
Approximately 20 companies participated, offering
valuable resources and job opportunities to help our local workforce transition into new roles.
I
want to commend Coca-Cola’s leadership for their thoughtful planning and genuine effort in facilitating this event. Their commitment to their employees during this challenging time was evident.
While
visiting, I also toured the manufacturing plant. The morale among employees remained impressively positive, a testament to their professionalism and dedication. Still, it’s clear many wished the facility could remain open here in American Canyon.
176
As
Mayor, I will continue to advocate for our workers and seek opportunities that strengthen local employment and economic resilience.
