In accordance with the Brown Act, all matters to be acted on by the City must be posted at least 72 hours prior to a regular meeting.

Staff Report re Entitlement Approval Extension

CITY OF ARVIN
Staff Report
Meeting Date: July 14, 2026
TO: Arvin City Council
FROM: Isaiah Medina, Consultant Planner
Jeff Jones, City Manager
SUBJECT: Approval of a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Arvin Approving a Time Extension to December 31, 2027, for all Project Approvals Issued between January 1, 2024, and April 30, 2026
Staff Recommendation:

Staff recommend the City Council:

1. Approve a Resolution Approving a Time Extension to December 31, 2027, for all Project Approvals Issued Between January 1, 2024, and April 30, 2026 Executive Summary:

Due to uncertain economic conditions over the past few years, certain projects that have received entitlement approval have not initiated use of the building or construction on the land within the City’s 12-month implementation deadline. This report presents for City Council consideration a Resolution that would automatically extend the expiration dates of all development project approvals issued between January 1, 2024, and April 30, 2026. Under the proposed Resolution, any such approval that would have otherwise lapsed under the City’s standard 12-month implementation deadline will instead remain valid through December 31, 2027. The extension will preserve vested project rights, reduce the administrative burden of processing individual extension requests, and help maintain development activity in the City.

Background:

Pursuant to the City’s municipal code and standard conditions of approval, development project approvals – including Administrative Permits, Multiple Family Residential Design Review Permits, Conditional Use Permits, and Site Development Permits – are subject to a 12-month implementation deadline. Applicants who do not commence substantial work within this window are required to request a formal extension or risk having their approval lapse and being required to re-apply. Extensions may be granted administratively, as necessary, by the City Planner and shall be accompanied by justification for such time extension and payment of the established fees.

Projects approved over the last couple of years have encountered a number of challenges that have potentially delayed or hindered timely implementation. Most notably, the sewer connection moratorium, volatility in costs of construction materials, and tightening of financing conditions and elevated interest rates have affected project feasibility.

As a result, some project applicants have found themselves in a position where, due to macroeconomic conditions outside of their control, they are unable to commence or complete implementation within the standard 12-month window. A blanket time extension eliminates the

4.D.1
Attachment: SR Entitlement Approval Extension_071426 (Time Extension for Planning Project Approvals)

Page 2 of 2 ends

Staff Report re Entitlement Approval Extension
need for each affected applicant to individually request an extension and allows project planning and financing to proceed with certainty.

Analysis:

The proposed Resolution would apply to all City-issued development project approvals where:
• The original approval was granted on or after January 1, 2024, and on or before April 30, 2026; and
• The approval has not been otherwise superseded by a subsequent active approval or extension for the same project.

Covered approval types include Administrative Permits, Multiple Family Design Review Permits, Site Development Permits, and Conditional Use Permits. All approvals within the defined cohort will be automatically extended to expire on December 31, 2027, regardless of when within the January 1, 2024 – April 30, 2026, window the original approval was granted. No individual extension request, fee payment, or staff review is required for an eligible project to receive this extension.

The extension is subject to the following conditions:
• All original conditions of approval remain in full force and effect. • The extension does not grant any vested right to develop in conflict with any subsequently adopted City ordinance, General Plan Amendment, or state law. • This resolution does not extend any building permit, grading permit, or other permit issued separately from the underlying entitlement.

Environmental Review:

This Resolution does not constitute a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as it does not authorize any physical change to the environment. The extension of an existing approval that has already undergone environmental review is categorically exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3).

Fiscal Impact:

Approval of the Resolution will have a minimal direct fiscal impact on City revenues. Time extension requests are subject to Cost Recovery and require submittal of a deposit to cover the cost of staff time spent preparing the extension approval letter. The City will forgo the nominal time extension application fees that would otherwise be collected from individual project applicants.

Staff estimates that the number of affected approvals to be approximately 7 projects.

This forgone fee revenue is expected to be offset by the indirect fiscal benefits of maintaining an active project pipeline, including future permit and inspection fees, connection fees, and ultimately, property tax and sales tax revenues generated by any completed development.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARVIN
APPROVING A TIME EXTENSION TO DECEMBER 31, 2027, FOR ALL PROJECT APPROVALS ISSUED BETWEEN JANUARY 1, 2024, AND
APRIL 30, 2026
WHEREAS, the City of Arvin (the “City”) regularly grants approvals for development projects, including Multiple Family Design Review Permits, Administrative Permits, Site Development Permits, and Conditional Use Permits (collectively “Project Approvals”); and WHEREAS, pursuant to the Arvin Municipal Code (the “AMC”) and standard conditions of approval, Project Approvals are subject to a 12-month implementation deadline, after which time the approval expires unless a formal extension is requested and granted; and WHEREAS, the City Council finds that projects approved between January 1, 2024, and April 30, 2026, (the “Covered Period”) have encountered substantial obstacles to timely implementation, notably the City Sewer Connection moratorium, continuing volatility in construction material costs, tightening of financing conditions and elevated interest rates; and WHEREAS, the City Council further finds that these obstacles are systemic and largely beyond the control of individual project applicants, and that requiring each applicant to separately petition for a time extension would impose an unnecessary administrative burden on applicants and City staff alike; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that providing a blanket extension of Project Approvals issued during the Covered Period is consistent with the City’s General Plan goals of promoting economic vitality, facilitating orderly development, and streamlining the permitting process; and
WHEREAS, the adoption of this Resolution does not authorize any physical change to the environment and therefore is not a “project” subject to review under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), Public Resources Code Sedction 21000 et seq. as it is covered by the common sense exemption set forth in CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3).

NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Arvin does hereby find, determine, and resolve as follows:

1. Recitals. The recitals and findings set forth above are true and correct and incorporated herein by this reference.

2. CEQA. The City Council makes findings and determines that this Resolution is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3). It can be seen with certainty that the adoption of this Resolution will not have a significant effect on the environment. No physical development is authorized herein; this Resolution only extend the period within which previously reviewed and approved projects may be implemented.

3. Extension of Project Approvals. The City Council finds that a blanket extension for Project Approvals issued during the Covered Period is in the public interest and is consistent with the

Page 2 of 3 ends

Resolution Approving Project Approval Extension
City’s General Plan and AMC and that the systemic obstacles encountered by projects approved during the Covered Period constitute good cause for the extension of time authorized by this Resolution.

Subject to the limitations and conditions set forth in Section 4 of this Resolution, the expiration date of all Project Approvals that: (i) were issued by the City on or after January 1, 2024, and on or before April 30, 2026; and (ii) have not been superseded by a subsequent active approval for the same project, is hereby automatically extended to December 31, 2027 (the “Extended Expiration Date”).

No application, fee payment, or individual staff review shall be required for an eligible Project Approval to receive the benefit of this extension. The extension authorized by this Resolution shall be self-executing upon adoption.

1. Conditions and Limitations. The extension of Projects Approvals authorized by Section 3 of this Resolution is subject to the following conditions and limitations:
(a) All original conditions of approval attached to each extended Project Approval remain in full force and effect through the Extended Expiration Date. This Resolution does not modify, waive, or supersede any condition of approval.
(b) The extension granted herein does not create and vested right to develop in conflict with any City ordinance, General Plan policy, or state law adopted or effective after the date of the original Project Approval.
(c) This Resolution does not extend any building permit, grading permit, encroachment permit, or other ministerial permit issued separately from the underlying entitlement. Such permits remain subject to their own independent expiration provisions. (d) This Resolution does not extend any Project Approval beyond any earlier expiration date required by state law, including but not limited to any applicable statutory sunset provisions affecting tentative maps under the Subdivision Map Act. (e) Any Project Approval that was revoked, abandoned, or otherwise terminated prior to the effective date of this Resolution is not eligible for the extension authorized herein. (f) This Resolution shall not be construed to extend any approval relating to a project that has received a final certificate of occupancy or final inspection approval prior to the effective date of this Resolution.

2. No Effect on Pending Applications. Nothing in this Resolution shall be construed to affect any pending application for a new Project Approval or an individually requested time extension.

Such applications shall continue to be processed in accordance with the AMC and applicable state law.

3. Notification. The City Planner is hereby authorized and directed to notify known holders of Project Approvals covered by this Resolution of the extension authorized herein, to update City records to reflect the Extended Expiration Date for affected approvals, and to take all other administrative actions reasonably necessary to implement this Resolution.

4. Severability. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase of this Resolution is for any reason held to be unconstitutional, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining sections of this Resolution. The City Council hereby declares that it would have passed this Resolution, and each section, subsection, clause and phrase thereof, irrespective of the face that any one or more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses or phrases be declared invalid or unconstitutional.

5. Effective Date. This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon adoption.

CITY OF ARVIN
Staff Report
Meeting Date: July 14, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem and Members of City Council FROM: Jeff Jones, City Manager
SUBJECT: Consideration and Approval of Fifth Amendment to the Professional Consultant Services Agreement between the City of Arvin and Diversified Project Services International, Inc. for On-Call Engineering Services.

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve the Fifth Amendment (the “Fifth Amendment”) to the Professional Consultant Services Agreement No. 2024-24 (the “Agreement”) between the City and Diversified Project Services International, Inc. (“DPSI”) to augment the Agreement’s scope of services and correspondingly increase the Agreement’s not-to-exceed compensation amount by $1,638,700 to establish a new $3,267,400 compensation cap.

BACKGROUND
Original Agreement
Given the City’s need for on-call engineering services, in July 2024, the City Council awarded the Agreement to DPSI in 2024 after the City conducted a competitive request for qualifications process. The Agreement established a not-to-exceed compensation amount of $150,000.

First Amendment
In December 2024, the City Council approved the First Amendment to the Agreement to expand the scope of services to include two additional engineer projects concerning project management, design, and construction support for 4th Street between Campus Drive and Walnut Drive, and Meyer Street from Bear Mountain Boulevard to Sycamore Drive. The First Amendment increased the not-to-exceed compensation amount to $470,000 through a $320,000 increase.

Second Amendment
In April 2025, the City Council approved the Second Amendment to the Agreement to expand the scope of services to include three AB 617 road projects along Derby Street and Tejon Parkway, South A Street, and Comanche Road. The Second Amendment increased the not-toexceed compensation amount to $1,378,700 via $907,800 increase.

Third Amendment
In August 2025, the City Council approved the Third Amendment to the Agreement. The Third Amendment did not add specific, additional projects but rather ongoing, needed professional engineering services. The third Amendment increased the not-to-exceed compensation amount to $1,628,700 via $250,000 increase.

4.E.1
Attachment: Staff Report DPSI 5th Amendment to PSA for On-Call Engineering Services_071426 (Fifth Amend to PSA with DPSI, Inc. for On-Call Fourth Amendment
In January 2026, the City Council approved the Fourth Amendment to the Agreement. The Fourth Amendment added surveying and map-checking tasks – particularly subdivision map review, legal description preparation, and as-needed field surveying – to support development review and City projects. The Fourth Amendment did not increase the not-to-exceed compensation amount of $1,628,700.

Proposed Fifth Amendment
Here, staff recommends that the City Council approve the attached Fifth Amendment to the Agreement to establish a new total not-to-exceed compensation cap of $3,267,400. The Fifth Amendment would add specific, additional projects, and fund ongoing, needed professional engineering and surveying services. Staff estimates that the proposed $350,000 increase under the Fifth Amendment will fund DPSI’s provision of on-call engineering and surveying services through June 30, 2027. Staff estimates the $350,000 increase would be funded as follows:
$80,000 in non-reimbursed General Fund support, $70,000 for WWTP support, $50,000 in encroachment permit cost recovery, $25,000 in grading and building permit cost recovery, $50,000 in cost recovery from engineering development review, and $75,000 in cost recovery from survey development review.

The Fifth Amendment would also expand the scope of services to include engineering and surveying services in the amount of $1,288,700 for the following fiscal year 26/27 City Capital improvement projects:

Environmental SB1/TDA $60,000
Walnut Street Reconstruction Design SB1 $196,400
Plumtree Reconstruction Design SB1 $174,800

FISCAL IMPACT
This amendment will be funded through a combination of budgeted General Fund, Sanitation Fund, permit fee recovery, SB 1, and various awarded grant funds in the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 budget. The anticipated General Fund expenditure is $80,000 for fiscal year 2026-2027.

4.E.1
Attachment: Staff Report DPSI 5th Amendment to PSA for On-Call Engineering Services_071426 (Fifth Amend to PSA with DPSI, Inc. for On-Call

ALTERNATIVE
In lieu of approving the proposed Fifth Amendment, the City would have to invest staff time and expense to competitively procure professional engineering services on a piecemeal, project basis.

DPSI, like other similar firms, could submit bids for such work. However, this alternative approach could delay the efficient and expedient review and execution of critical City public works and engineering projects. In addition, DPSI's established familiarity with the City's infrastructure, projects, and priorities supports the continuity and timely advancement of the City's public works program. Their demonstrated expertise and reliability have contributed meaningfully to the effective delivery of City projects. Thus, City staff recommends City Council approval of the proposed Fifth Amendment.

CEQA ANALYSIS
The action proposed in this report is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines § 15061(b)(3) because the activity involves the provision of on-call, professional engineering services; it does not involve any physical changes to the environment. Therefore, it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity may have a significant effect on the environment.

Staff Report re Letter of Support OZ 2.0 Recommendation

CITY OF ARVIN
Staff Report
Meeting Date: July 14, 2026
TO: Arvin City Council
FROM: Isaiah Medina, Contract Planner
Jeff Jones, City Manager
SUBJECT: Approval of Letter of Support for County of Kern’s County-Wide Opportunity Zone 2.0 Local Authority Recommendation for Census Tract 63.04 in Arvin EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Staff is requesting City Council approve a Letter of Support to the Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development (GO-Biz) for the designation of Census Tract 6029006304 (Tract

63.04) under the federal Opportunity Zones 2.0 (OZ 2.0) program. The letter will be submitted through the County of Kern, which is coordinating OZ 2.0 recommendations on behalf of all cities in Kern County.

BACKGROUND:

Opportunity Zones
Opportunity Zones (OZs) are federally designated, economically distressed census tracts where private investors receive special tax incentives in exchange for deploying long-term capital into qualifying projects. The program is designed to direct private investment into low-income communities that have been historically underserved by conventional capital markets. Eligible investments include new construction, rehabilitation of vacant or underutilized properties, equity investment in operating businesses, and energy and infrastructure projects.

A new round of designations, referred to as Opportunity Zones 2.0, is currently underway. New zones will take effect January 1, 2027, and remain active for ten years through December 31, 2036.

Key Investor Benefits
Investors who reinvest in eligible capital gains into an OZ project may receive the following federal tax benefits:
• Capital Gains Deferral: Federal tax on the reinvested gain is deferred for five (5) years. • Basis Step-Up: After five (5) years, a portion of the original deferred gain is excluded from taxation.
• Gain Exclusion: Any appreciation on the OZ investment itself is permanently excluded from federal taxation if held for at least ten (10) years.

The City of Arvin, with a population of approximately 20,000, qualifies as a rural area under the OZ 2.0 program, which unlocks significantly enhanced investor benefits through the Qualified Rural Opportunity Fund (QROF)
• Enhanced Basis Step-Up: Increases from 10% to 30% at year five – triple the standard benefit.

4.F.1
Attachment: Staff Report Letter of Support OZ 2.0 Recommendation 07.14.26 (Approval of a Letter of Support for Kern County OZ 2.0

Page 2 of 2 ends

Staff Report re Letter of Support OZ 2.0 Recommendation • Reduced Rehabilitation Threshold: Investors need only invest 50% of an existing property’s cost basis (rather than 100%) to meet the program’s reinvestment requirement, making rehabilitation of older industrial structures significantly more financially viable.

California Nomination Process
The Governor will choose and nominate eligible census tracts to the U.S. Department of the Treasury. California has 2,429 census tracts eligible for OZ 2.0 designation, but the governor may nominate no more than 618. Thus, the nomination process is extremely competitive. GO-Biz is accepting Local Authority Recommendation forms from cities and counties through July 25, 2026, after which the Governor will California’s final nominations to the U.S. Treasury by September 28, 2026.

The County of Kern is serving as the coordinating local authority for all OZ 2.0 recommendations within Kern County, submitting recommendations on behalf of the City of Arin and most other cities in the County.

DISCUSSION:

Why Tract 63.04
Tract 63.04 encompasses the City’s primary industrial corridor. The tract also contains a mix of industrial, commercial, single-family residential, and multi-family residential uses, with the majority of vacant, available land zoned industrial. This tract has experienced industrial tenant attrition over the years, leaving vacated facilities idle for extended periods. Structures have fallen into disrepair and visible blight has taken hold across portions of the corridor, potentially suppressing new private-sector interest and eroding the City’s tax base. Returning these sites to productive use requires the kind of large, patient rehabilitation capital that the OZ 2.0 incentive structure is specifically designed to mobilize.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommend the City Council authorize the Mayor to execute the Letter of Support and direct the City Manager to transmit the letter to the Kern County Administrative Office to be included as part of the County’s submission to the State.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

There is no financial impact associated with this letter of support or the recommendation of Tract

63.04 for the OZ 2.0 program.

RE: Support for County of Kern’s County-Wide Opportunity Zone 2.0 Local Authority Recommendation for Census Tract 6029006304 in Arvin
Dear members of the GO-Biz REDI Team,
On behalf of the City of Arvin, I write in support of the County of Kern’s Local Authority Recommendation to designate Census Tract 6029006304 (Tract 63.04) as a California Opportunity Zone 2.0 under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA). The County of Kern has undertaken the coordination of OZ 2.0 recommendations on behalf of Arvin and other cities in Kern County, and the City is grateful for the County’s leadership in this effort. We respectfully request that GO-Biz and the Governor’s Office give this tract the highest level of consideration on California’s OZ 2.0 designation process.

The City of Arvin is one of the most persistently underserved and economically distressed communities in California’s Central Valley. Tract 63.04 – which contains the City’s primary industrial zone – carries a poverty rate of approximately 31.9% and a per capita income less than one-third of the California average. These figures reflect decades of structural underinvestment and limited access to private capital. The Arvin community is predominantly Latino, many of them agricultural workers and their families who have built this region’s economy while remaining economically marginalized within it.

What makes Tract 63.04 particularly compelling as an OZ 2.0 candidate is the specific and well-documented nature of the investment gap the program would address. The tract contains the City’s primary industrial corridor, which has experienced significant tenant attrition over the years. As industrial businesses have departed, their vacated facilities have sat idle for extended periods, with structures and sites falling into disrepair. The visible blight of deteriorating buildings, underutilized parcels, and deferred maintenance across former industrial sites has created a feedback loop in which the appearance of disinvestment further discourages new private-sector interest. Returning these sites to productive use requires substantial capital investment in building rehabilitation, structural repairs, and facility conversion. This is precisely the type of large-scale capital that the Opportunity Zones incentive structure is designed to mobilize. Tract 63.04 also contains various vacant and/or underutilized commercial and MAYOR

multi-family residential areas creating a balanced land use portfolio ready for deployment.

The City is encouraged by the private-sector interest already emerging in the tract. The City is currently in active discussions with a prospective solar manufacturer that would take over an existing industrial facility within Tract 63.04 and potentially expand it which would represent a significant commitment that aligns with California’s clean energy initiatives and would create quality manufacturing jobs for local residents. OZ 2.0 designation could be a deciding factor in that siting decision. Additional industrial and agricultural tenants have also expressed interest in available parcels within the tract, signaling that market interest exists and that the right capital incentive could rapidly activate the area’s dormant industrial inventory.

The City has also been investing in the public infrastructure necessary to enable private development. Street rehabilitation and improvements, ADA-compliant pedestrian infrastructure, and ongoing work with the Arvin Community Services District to modernize water infrastructure within the tract are all underway. The majority of vacant and available land within the tract is zoned industrial, providing a regulatory environment that allows new businesses to invest with in our City. We believe that the combination of documented distress, ready industrial land, active public investment, and demonstrated private-sector interest makes Tract 63.04 a very strong candidate for Opportunity Zone 2.0 designation.

The City of Arvin strongly endorses the County of Kern’s Local Authority Recommendation of Census Tract 6029006304 and respectfully requests that the State prioritizes this tract as California submits its OZ 2.0 nominations to the U.S. Department of the Treasury. The residents of Arvin have long awaited this kind of private capital investment that this designation would help unlock.

OZ 2.0 represents a meaningful opportunity to begin closing the gap and this community is ready.

Sincerely,
Olivia Calderón, Mayor

Staff Report re Third Amendment to the City Manager Employment Agreement

CITY OF ARVIN
Staff Report
Meeting Date: July 15, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem and Members of City Council FROM: Stephanie Gutierrez, City Attorney
SUBJECT: Third Amendment to the City Manager Employment Agreement BACKGROUND:

Jeff Jones has served the City in various executive capacities, beginning as Finance Director in 2017. He subsequently assumed the role of Interim City Manager in 2021 while continuing to oversee Finance. In March 2022, the City Council approved an agreement formally appointing him to serve concurrently as City Manager and Finance Director.

On October 31, 2025, the City Council determined that the roles of City Manager and Finance Director should be separated. At that meeting, the Council appointed Mr. Jones to serve exclusively as City Manager and directed staff to amend his employment agreement accordingly.

The First Amendment to the Agreement was approved on November 17, 2025, to reflect this change. On February 24, 2026, the Second Amendment was approved, extending the term of the Agreement through July 22, 2026.

The City Council now wishes to further extend the term of the existing Employment Agreement to ensure continuity and stability in the City's executive leadership while the City conducts a recruitment process for the position of City Manager.

ANALYSIS:

The proposed Third Amendment updates Section 5 (Term) of Agreement No. 2022-02 to extend Mr. Jones’s appointment as City Manager through September 30, 2026. No other substantive changes are proposed. All other terms and conditions of the existing employment agreement remain in full force and effect.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council approve the Third Amendment to Agreement No. 2022- 02 for the City Manager’s Employment Agreement, extending the term to September 30, 2026, and authorize the Mayor to execute the amendment.

(1) Within five (5) days of receipt of written notice,
EMPLOYEE may submit a request in writing to the City Manager for an administrative appeal.

In the event EMPLOYEE is terminated without cause, EMPLOYEE expressly agrees that EMPLOYEE shall not be entitled to any severance pay as the result of the termination of this AGREEMENT except as provided in Section 5.1. In order to comply with the requirements of California Government Code section 3304(c), in the event of termination without cause EMPLOYEE may request to appear before the City Council, prior to the effective date of the termination to challenge the reasons for the termination without cause or to raise mitigating circumstances regarding the termination but in such event would waive any right to severance pay under Section 5.1.

5.0 SEVERANCE

5.1 Severance Pay. In the event EMPLOYEE is terminated without cause and does not challenge such termination, including but not limited to by means of civil or administrative claim, then CITY shall pay to EMPLOYEE severance in an amount equal to his monthly base Salary (as defined in Section 2 above, calculated on a per diem basis) then in effect multiplied by six (6), less applicable deductions and excluding deferred compensation, provided, however, that in no event shall the severance payment exceed the maximum amount permitted by Government Code Section 53260.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Government Code Section 53260 provides that all contracts of employment with a city must include a provision limiting the maximum cash settlement for the termination of the contract to the monthly salary (excluding benefits) multiplied by the number of months left on the unexpired term, but not more than 18 months if the unexpired term exceeds 18 months. Accordingly, should such proposed severance payment exceed the amount authorized to be paid under Government Code Section 53260, then the amount paid to EMPLOYEE shall be reduced in the amount necessary to comply with such statute. (For example, if termination occurs with two (2) months left in the term, severance would be equal to the monthly base salary multiplied by two (2) rather than the six (6) months provided in this Section.)

The city manager or the city officer designated by the city council shall have authority to negotiate prices set forth in annual contracts for purchases of repetitively used items, and shall have authority to accept proposals from or enter into memorandum accounts with vendors for items that are required in minor, undetermined quantities which are not practical in competitive bidding. (Ord. 138 §4, 1978).
(Ord. No. 429, § 6, 7-5-2016)

3.08.070 Bidding procedures generally.

A. The purchase of supplies, equipment, materials and public works projects, shall be by bid procedures pursuant to Sections 3.08.080 and 3.08.090, unless an exception from the below subsection applies.

1. An emergency requires that an order be placed with the nearest available source of supply;

2. The micro-purchase is in an amount less than three thousand dollars ($3,000.00), as provided in the Federal Acquisition Regulation. This amount is subject to raise with inflation and may be lower depending upon whether the contract is subject to the Davis-Bacon Act or the Service Contract Act;

4. The commodity can be obtained from only one (1) vendor;

Competitive bidding or proposal procedures, substantially similar to the competitive bidding or proposal procedures in this Code, have already been utilized either by a federal, state, county, city or special district government agency, or by a legitimate cooperative purchasing agency; and, that the supplies, equipment, materials or public works project provided to the city are at the same or better price, terms and conditions, as was obtained through such prior competitive bidding or proposal procedures; or

The purchasing division will obtain documentation to verify the contract and bid process. All products or equipment purchased under this provision must substantially meet the technical specifications of the bid. Major deviations from the product specification will not be allowed.

Such contracts include, but are not limited to, contracts to purchase products and services under the California Multiple Award Schedules (CMAS) or Federal General Service Administration (GSA) contracts.

3. Bulletin Board. The city council, by its designated official, shall also advertise pending purchases by a notice posted on a public bulletin board in the City Hall.

B. Bidder's Security. When deemed necessary by the city council, bidder's security may be prescribed in the public notices inviting bids.

The city council may, on refusal or failure of the successful bidder to execute the contract, award it to the next lowest responsible bidder.

If the city council awards the contract to the next lowest bidder, the amount of the lowest bidder's security shall be applied by the city to the contract price differential between the lowest bid and the second lowest bid, and the surplus, if any, shall be returned to the lowest bidder. If the city council rejects all bids presented and readvertises, the amount of the lowest bidder's security may be used to offset the cost of receiving new bids and the surplus, if any, shall be returned to the lowest bidder.

E. Award of Contracts. Except as otherwise provided herein, orders or contracts shall be awarded by the city council to the lowest responsible bidder. Notwithstanding any other provision in this section, if no bids are received, orders or contracts may be awarded by the city council in its discretion without complying with any further bidding requirements of this section.

F. Tie bids. If two or more bids received are for the same total amount or unit price, quality and service being equal, and if the public interest will not permit the delay of readvertising for bids, the city council may, in its discretion, accept the one it chooses.

G. Performance Bonds. The city council may require a performance bond before entering a contract, in such amount as it shall find reasonably necessary to protect the best interest of the city. When required, the form and amount of the bond will be described in the notice inviting bids. (Ord. 138 §9, 1978).

procuring professional services pursuant to the authority provided in this subsection the city manager shall use his best efforts to obtain the best value for the city based upon (1) qualifications of the firm; (2) The firm's experience with similar projects; (3) the firm's capacity to provide the professional services consistent with the city's timelines for performance and (4) the total overall cost to the city unless excluded by state or federal law. In addition, to the extent that its provisions apply to the particular type of service to be procured, the city manager shall fully comply with the requirements of Government Code, section 4526, as may be amended, which shall take precedence over any conflicting provisions in this section. The contract procuring the professional services shall be approved as to form by the city attorney prior to execution by the city manager. The city clerk shall retain the original contract. The finance department shall encumber the amount against the budget.

C. Process for Contracts With a Total Value in Excess of Fifteen Thousand Dollars ($15,000.00).

1. Upon approval of the city manager, the department head of the department requesting professional services shall prepare a request for proposal (RFP), and request for qualifications which shall then be sent to the appropriate professional service firms. The RFP shall include a description of the project and a scope of work to be performed. As a rule, proposals from a minimum of three (3) prospective firms shall be solicited. To solicit proposals, at a minimum the city shall post the RFP on its website, publich notice of the RFP at least once in a newspaper of general circulation and shall use its best efforts to identify other means of communicating the existence of the RFP to persons and firms who may be qualified to provide the services sought.

2. The department shall review all proposals received. The general selection criteria for determining which firm is to be selected include:
a. Firm qualifications;
b. The firm's experience with similar projects;
c. Schedule of completion;
d. Price, unless excluded by state or federal law.

To the extent that the provisions of Government Code, section 4526, as may be amended, apply to the particular type of service to be procured the selection process shall comply with its requirements which shall take precedence over any conflicting provisions in this section.

3. Based on the results of the initial screening process, the top firms may be invited to present their qualifications. Based upon their qualifications and presentations, the city shall rank order the firms. The city may negotiate the price, terms and conditions of the project with the top firm. The city also reserves the right to negotiate with another top-ranked firm if an agreement cannot be reached with the number one ranked firm.

4. Once the firm is selected, the contract shall be forwarded to the city attorney for review.

5. A staff report with recommendations shall be presented to the city manager.

6. The city manager is authorized to exercise his/her discretion to award the contract based upon the selection criteria set forth in subsection (B)(2) and staff's recommendation for professional services required by the city, for which an appropriation has been made in the current budget, provided the contract involves an expenditure of city moneys greater than fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000.00) and less than or equal to thirty thousand dollars ($30,000.00) and the total proposed expenditure of city moneys under the contract and any amendments thereto will not exceed thirty thousand dollars ($30,000.00).

7. The city manager shall submit to the city council for its consideration at a regular meeting or special meeting, unless not permitted by law, any contracts for professional services that involves an

expenditure of city moneys greater than thirty thousand dollars ($30,000.00) or when the total proposed expenditure of city moneys under the contract and any amendments thereto will exceed thirty thousand dollars ($30,000.00).

8. The contract procuring the professional services shall be approved as to form by the city attorney prior to execution by the city. The city clerk shall retain the original contract. The finance department shall encumber the amount against the budget.

D. If no proposals are received in response to the RFP after solicitation as required by this section, then this may serve as a presumption that no competitive advantage may be served by further solicitation of bids as it would either be impossible or not in the public interest. Upon such a determination by the city manager, or the city council for contracts in excess of thirty thousand dollars ($30,000), no further solicitation of bids is required by this section.
(Ord. No. 419, § 1, 3-17-2015; Ord. No. 431, § 3, 8-16-2016)

3.08.100 Inspection and testing of supplies and equipment.

The city council, or the city officer it designates, shall inspect supplies and equipment delivered to determine their conformance with the specifications set forth in the order. The city council shall have authority to require chemical and physical tests of samples submitted with bids and samples of deliveries which are necessary to determine their quality and conformance with specifications. (Ord. 138 §11, 1978).

3.08.110 Surplus property—Sale or other disposal.

A. All department heads of the city shall submit to the city council at such times, and in such form as may be prescribed, reports showing stock, materials, equipment and any real property on hand not then in use in said department. When a surplus of stock, materials, equipment, or real property exists in any department, the city council may transfer the same to any other department having a need for such stock or any portion thereof on approval of the city council or its designated official.

B. When it is found by the city council that stock, materials, equipment, or real property exists which is not needed for use by any city department, the city council may authorize the sale thereof, and the proceeds from any such sale or sales shall be deposited in the city treasury.

C. Upon the city council's finding and authorization of the sale of surplus stock, materials, equipment, or real property, the city manager may take whatever steps necessary to obtain the highest price in exchange for the sale of the surplus stock, materials, equipment, or real property. The determination of the highest price that will be most favorable to the city will be made by the city manager, within his/her sole discretion. The city manager may thereafter enter into and complete the sale of the surplus stock, materials, equipment, or real property on behalf of the city.
