ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT

MEETING DATE: November 5, 2025 AGENDA CATEGORY: - Consent - Agreements TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Jennifer M. Byers, Economic and Community Development Director DATE: October 21, 2025
SUBJECT: Agreement with Kern County Public Health Department (not to exceed $1,924,301.74) to Implement the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) Program.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends approval of the agreement.

BACKGROUND:

On April 23, 2025, City Council approved the 2025-26 Action Plan allocating $1,113,406.74 of U.S.

Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) funds to the Kern County Public Health Department (KCPHD). On May 5, 2024, City Council approved the 2024-25 Action Plan, allocating $1,042,014.62 of HUD HOPWA funds to the Kern County Public Health Department. The balance of FY 2024-25 in the amount of $810,895 will be combined with the 2025-26 funding for a total amount of $1,924,301.74.

Funds will support KCPHD’s efforts to increase access to decent, stable, and affordable housing for low- income persons living with HIV and AIDS and their families. More specifically, HOPWA Program activities provided by KCPHD include: short-term rent subsidies to defray rent and emergency utility assistance for families; hotel/motel voucher assistance; care plans that address participant’s need for services, food, transportation, and links into treatment and care for HIV/AIDS and associated medical issues; emergency mortgage assistance, tenant based rental assistance vouchers; and staff salaries necessary to provide the services listed above.

The Agreement with KCPHD will allow continued administration of the HOPWA program for the City’s estimated metropolitan statistical area (ESMA) for the 2025-26 Action Plan year.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The Agreement to contract for the use of HOPWA involves, the Cities appropriation of HUD entitlement funds, as these funds are currently within the Fiscal Year 2025-26 budget, therefore this action has no impact to the City General Fund.

COUNCIL GOAL:

Safety and Resilience
Economic Opportunity for All

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT

MEETING DATE: November 5, 2025 AGENDA CATEGORY: Consent – Agreements TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Zachary Meyer, Public Works Director
DATE: October 7, 2025
SUBJECT: Consent to Common Use Agreement with Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) to allow the construction of a road over an existing 34” High Pressure Gas Pipeline within Tract 6880 (Ward 5).

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommend approval of the Common Use Agreement.

BACKGROUND:

Lennar Homes of California, LLC, through their land bank company TPG AG EHC III (LEN) CA 2, LP, has entered a common use agreement with the City of Bakersfield for the con struction of public improvements associated with Tract 6880 Phase 4. A key part of these improvements is the construction of Blackwater Valley Drive, which will cross over an existing large high -pressure gas pipeline owned by Pacific Gas & Electric Company (PG&E). Once completed, the public improvements will be maintained by the City of Bakersfield.

The improvement plans have been reviewed and approved by both the City and PG&E. In order to move forward with construction, the developer must obtain final permission from PG&E. To address this, PG&E has prepared a Consent to Common Use Agreement, which must be executed between the City and PG&E to allow the roadway to be built across their pipeline.

The Public Works Department has reviewed the common use agreement and is recommending that the City Council approve the agreement. This is the final step needed to comply with project requirements and allow the developer to proceed with construction of the improvements.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There will be no impact to th e City General Fund, as the proposed improvements will be bonded for by the developer and they will pay all required fees to PG&E for processing this agreement.

COUNCIL GOAL:

Reliable Infrastructure

MEETING DATE: November 5, 2025 AGENDA CATEGORY: Consent Calendar - Agreements TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Zachary Meyer, Public Works Director
DATE: October 15, 2025
SUBJECT: Final Map , Improvement Agreement, and Landscape Agreement with JP Land Development, LLC for Tract 7262, Phase 6.

Developer is requesting to enter into agreements so the final map for Tract 7262 Phase 6, located on the northwest corner of Reliance Drive and Berkshire Road, can be approved and recorded (Ward 7).

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends approval of the Final Map, Improvement Agreement, and Landscape Agreement.

BACKGROUND:

Per Bakersfield Municipal Code Chapter 16, “Subdivisions," Tentative Tract Map 7262 was conditioned by the Planning Commission to require the construction of certain improvements within and adjacent to the tentative tract map, which include, but are not li mited to, streets, sewer, walls, and storm drain on or adjacent to the property being subdivided. If these improvements are not completed when the developer, JP Land Development, LLC, wishes to record a portion of the tentative tract map (through a final map), the developer must execute an improvement agreement through which the developer agrees to complete the construction of the improvements within one year of the date the agreement is executed. The City Engineer may extend the time to complete the impr ovements upon request. Certificates of Occupancy or final inspections will not be allowed for any building within the bounds of the final map until these required improvements are completed and accepted by the City of Bakersfield and a Notice of Completion for the improvements is recorded.

The Public Works Department has completed the review of the final map submitted by the Developer and is recommending Council to approve the final map. In addition, the Improvement Agreement outlining the Developer’s r esponsibilities for onsite infrastructure improvements, which typically accompanies approval of the final map, is also included and recommended for approval.

The Landscape Improvement Agreement requires the Developer to complete the required landscape and irrigation improvements within the time frame and in the manner outlined in the agreement’s terms. A landscape agreement is required whenever the Developer desires to record their final map before the landscaping improvements are in.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There will be no financial impact to the City. Proposed street improvements are being bonded for and included within the proposed improvement agreement.

COUNCIL GOAL:

Reliable Infrastructure

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT

MEETING DATE: November 5, 2025 AGENDA CATEGORY: Consent - Agreements TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Randy McKeegan, Finance Director
DATE: October 22, 2025
SUBJECT: Amendment No. 4 to Agreement No. 2023-042 and Agreement No. 2023-042(B) with Speridian Technologies, LLC (increasing compensation $56,417, revised not to exceed $1,287,670) and Clarity Cloud, Inc (increasing compensation $110,000, revised not to exceed $1,168,551) for managed support services for Clariti’s Community Development software

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends the approval of the amendment.

BACKGROUND:

The Clariti Permitting System went live in September 2024 with implementation and ongoing system maintenance provided by Speridian Technologies, LLC and the Software -as-a-Service provided by Clariti Cloud, Inc. Since September 2024, Speridian has provided ongoing man aged services for the Clariti Software, as the proposed amendment would continue through February 2026. In February 2026, Clariti Cloud will begin the transition of managed service care and software maintenance moving forward. This was a service previously unavailable through the software provider and provides an opportunity to consolidate services under the software company, rather than working with multiple vendors.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The combined ongoing managed care services through February 202 7 will be $157,000. Currently the Development Services Department has sufficient funds budgeted in Fiscal Year 2025-26 to cover the cost in the ERP Replacement projects within the Clariti System.

COUNCIL GOAL:

Innovative and Efficient City Government
Community Character & Quality of Life

Electronic Record and Signature Disclosure

ELECTRONIC RECORD AND SIGNATURE DISCLOSURE
From time to time, City of Bakersfield (we, us or Company) may be required by law to provide to you certain written notices or disclosures. Described below are the terms and conditions for providing to you such notices and disclosures electronically through the DocuSign system.

Please read the information below carefully and thoroughly, and if you can access this information electronically to your satisfaction and agree to this Electronic Record and Signature Disclosure (ERSD), please confirm your agreement by selecting the check-box next to ‘I agree to use electronic records and signatures’ before clicking ‘CONTINUE’ within the DocuSign system.

Getting paper copies
At any time, you may request from us a paper copy of any record provided or made available electronically to you by us. You will have the ability to download and print documents we send to you through the DocuSign system during and immediately after the signing session and, if you elect to create a DocuSign account, you may access the documents for a limited period of time (usually 30 days) after such documents are first sent to you. After such time, if you wish for us to send you paper copies of any such documents from our office to you, you will be charged a $0.00 per-page fee. You may request delivery of such paper copies from us by following the procedure described below.

Withdrawing your consent
If you decide to receive notices and disclosures from us electronically, you may at any time change your mind and tell us that thereafter you want to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format. How you must inform us of your decision to receive future notices and disclosure in paper format and withdraw your consent to receive notices and disclosures electronically is described below.

Consequences of changing your mind
If you elect to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format, it will slow the speed at which we can complete certain steps in transactions with you and delivering services to you because we will need first to send the required notices or disclosures to you in paper format, and then wait until we receive back from you your acknowledgment of your receipt of such paper notices or disclosures. Further, you will no longer be able to use the DocuSign system to receive required notices and consents electronically from us or to sign electronically documents from us.

All notices and disclosures will be sent to you electronically Electronic Record and Signature Disclosure created on: 6/28/2022 10:51:05 AM Parties agreed to: John Richardson
Unless you tell us otherwise in accordance with the procedures described herein, we will provide electronically to you through the DocuSign system all required notices, disclosures, authorizations, acknowledgements, and other documents that are required to be provided or made available to you during the course of our relationship with you. To reduce the chance of you inadvertently not receiving any notice or disclosure, we prefer to provide all of the required notices and disclosures to you by the same method and to the same address that you have given us. Thus, you can receive all the disclosures and notices electronically or in paper format through the paper mail delivery system. If you do not agree with this process, please let us know as described below. Please also see the paragraph immediately above that describes the consequences of your electing not to receive delivery of the notices and disclosures electronically from us.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT

MEETING DATE: November 5, 2025 AGENDA CATEGORY: Consent Calendar - Agreements TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Jennifer M. Byers, Economic and Community Development Director DATE: October 20, 2025
SUBJECT: Amendment No. 4 to Agreement 16-255 with Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. (extend term to December 31, 2026) for planning services for brownfield properties.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends approval of the Amendment.

BACKGROUND:

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Brownfields Program provides federal grants to various communities and jurisdictions for environmental assessments, site characterization, and cleanup planning to promote revitalization and reuse of contaminated (or perceived to be contaminated) sites.

In October 2016, the City released a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Planning Consultant Services to assist in applying for and implementing the EPA’s Brownfields Community-wide Assessment Grant.

Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. was selected as the Planning Consultant and entered into Agreement 16-255 in November 2016. The City was awarded its first Brownfields Community-wide Assessment grant in August 2017 in the amount of $300,000.

On November 1, 2017, Agreement 16-255 was amended to incorporate all terms and conditions and applicable EPA regulatory and statutory provisions within the EPA’s Cooperative Agreement and to incorporate the associated Scope of Work and Work Plan. Agreement 16-255 was amended a second time on September 9, 2020, in anticipation of applying for another EPA Brownfield Community-wide Assessment Grant to continue the City’s efforts in supporting brownfields redevelopment through environmental site assessments and focused area planning for future clean-up, reuse, redevelopment, and infrastructure improvements.

The City was awarded a second Brownfields Community-wide Assessment Grant in November 2022 for $500,000, and Agreement 16-255 was amended a third time on December 14, 2022, to extend the term and amend the Scope of Work for the Planning Consultant to continue to assist the City with brownfields grant application and implementation services to support the redevelopment of brownfields sites.

Originally the second grant was a three-year term, but the City was granted a one-year extension to complete grant implementation. The City and Planning Consultant now desire to amend Agreement 16- 255 to extend the term for one-year and revise the primary contacts and key personnel to reflect staffing changes.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The approval of the amended contract does not add cost it only extends the term and revises key personnel involved in the scope of work, thus there is no impact to the City General Fund.

COUNCIL GOAL:

Community Character & Quality of Life
Safety and Resilience

Getting paper copies
At any time, you may request from us a paper copy of any record provided or made available electronically to you by us. You will have the ability to download and print documents we send to you through the DocuSign system during and immediately after the signing session and, if you elect to create a DocuSign account, you may access the documents for a limited period of time (usually 30 days) after such documents are first sent to you. After such time, if you wish for us to send you paper copies of any such documents from our office to you, you will be charged a $0.00 per-page fee. You may request delivery of such paper copies from us by following the procedure described below.

Consequences of changing your mind
If you elect to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format, it will slow the speed at which we can complete certain steps in transactions with you and delivering services to you because we will need first to send the required notices or disclosures to you in paper format, and then wait until we receive back from you your acknowledgment of your receipt of such paper notices or disclosures.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT

MEETING DATE: November 5, 2025 AGENDA CATEGORY: Consent - Agreements TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Zachary Meyer, Public Works Director
DATE: September 19, 2025
SUBJECT: Amendment No. 1 to Agreement No. 2023-264 with Alpha and Omega Gardening, Inc

(increasing compensation by $65,200; revised not to exceed $140,560 and extend the term to November 30, 2027), to provide landscape maintenance for the Bakersfield Municipal Airport.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends approval of the amendment.

BACKGROUND:

The Public Works Department is responsible for operations and maintenance of the Bakersfield Municipal Airport. To support these efforts, the Airport requires monthly landscape maintenance ser vices. These services must be performed by contractors with substantial experience in public landscape maintenance and a Qualified Applicator License through the Kern County Agricultural Commission.

On July 28, 2022, staff issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for landscape services at the Bakersfield Municipal Airport. On August 24, 2022, a selection committee reviewed the Statements of Qualifications (SOQ) submitted. Based on qualifications and fee schedules, staff recommended awarding the contract to Alpha & Omega Gardening, Inc; which was Department Agreement PW 22-163.

On November 8, 2023, City Council approved an amendment to Agreement No. PW 22 -163, increasing the compensation by $53,360 (revised not -to-exceed of $75,360) and extending the term through November 30, 2025. Because the not -to-exceed compensation exceeded $40,000 and required Council approval, PW 22-163 was renumbered to Council Agreement No. 2023-264.

Amendment No. 1 to Agreement No. 2023-264 proposes an additional increase of $65,200 and a revised not-to-exceed amount of $140,560 , with the term extended through November 30, 2027. This amendment will allow Alpha & Omega Gardening, Inc. to continue providing landscape maintenance services for the Bakersfield Municipal Airport.

Alpha & Omega Gardening, Inc. has continued to provide satisfactory landscape maintenance the Bakersfield Municipal Airport. Staff recommends approval of Amendment No.1 to Agreement No. 2023 - 264.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The General Aviation Fund will fund this agreement, therefore there is no impact on the City General Fund.

COUNCIL GOAL:

Reliable Infrastructure

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT

MEETING DATE: November 5, 2025 AGENDA CATEGORY: Consent – Agreements TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Zachary Meyer, Public Works Director
DATE: October 16, 2025
SUBJECT: Contract Change Order No. 2 to Agreement No. 2024-082 with Cen-Cal Construction ($35,583.39 revised not to exceed $3,126,988.16) for the Garces Memorial Circle Enhancement Project. (Ward 3)

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends approval of the change order.

BACKGROUND:

The work to be performed for this project consists , in general, of rehabilitation of the Garces Memorial Circle Roundabout. Items of work include milling of existing asphalt, construction of new pavement using Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA), installation of pavement striping and markings, construction of curb, gutter, and sidewalk, installation of pedestrian improvements (including, but not limited to, access ramps, crosswalks, Rapid Rectangular Flashing Beacon (RRFB) system s etc.), new landscaping and irrigation, installation of new street lights, and construction of new storm drain facilities.

Contract Change Order No.2 provides for additional pavement removal, which is needed beyond the City standard 1-foot to 2-foot tie-in to provide a proper transition from the adjacent parking lot to the new sidewalk. The contractor agrees to remove additional pavement, patch back and compact areas with HMA where needed to provide proper drainage from existing parking lot to new curb and gutter for the lump sum price of $34,194.97.

This change order also provides for the installation of the new curb and gutter. During construction it was discovered that the afteref fect of the new design grades resulted in less than 0.1 feet of HMA over the existing concrete surface. In order to provide the 2-inch design thickness, additional grinding and removal of existing concrete surface is needed. The contractor agrees to do t he above-mentioned work for the lump sum price of $40,253.21.

In addition, Contract Change Order No. 2 provides for the removal of a buried concrete structure that was found to be in direct conflict with the installation of the new 12-inch storm drain pipe. The contractor agrees to remove the concrete obstruction and dispose of all debris offsite for the lump sum price of $543.96.

Also, due to the existing 10-inch concrete slab underneath the proposed concrete median curb on Chester Avenue, the steel staking for the median forms must be drilled into the existing concrete surface. The contractor agrees to do the above-mentioned work for the lump sum price of $1,087.90.

Contract Change Order No. 2 also provides compensation for doing the major grinding operations on the weekend. In order to minimize the impact to commuter traffic during the week, the major grinding

operations will be completed on Saturday. The contractor agrees to perform the above-mentioned work on the weekend for the lump sum price of $8,553.43.

Also, in order to construct the project per the plans and specifications, there were several contract item quantities that had to be either increased or decreased. These item adjustments will re sult in a net decrease of ($49,050.08)

FISCAL IMPACT:

This project is funded by State and Federal Grants and by Public Safety and Vital Services Measure (PSVS).

The total cost increase for Contract Change Order No.2 is $35,583.39. This is the second change order on the project and reflects a total project cost increase of $127,488.16 (4.25 percent increase of the original contract amount) as illustrated below:

MEETING DATE: November 5, 2025 AGENDA CATEGORY: Consent – Agreements TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Zachary Meyer, Public Works Director
DATE: October 17, 2025
SUBJECT: Contract Change Order No. 3 to Agreement No. 2024-082 with Cen-Cal Construction ($52,402.26 revised not to exceed $3,179,390.42) for the Garces Memorial Circle Enhancement Project. (Ward 3)

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends approval of the change order.

BACKGROUND:

The work to be performed for this project consists, in general, of rehabilitation of the Garces Memorial Circle Roundabout. Items of work include milling of existing asphalt, construction of new pavement using Hot mix Asphalt (HMA), installation of pavement striping and markings, construction of curb, gutter, and sidewalk, installation of pedestrian improvements (including, but not limited to, access ramps, crosswalks, Rapid Rectangular Flashing Beacon (RRFB) system s etc.) new landscaping and irrigation, installation of new street lights, and construction of new storm drain facilities.

Contract Change Order No. 3 provides for additional costs associated with the rental of shoring and steel plates used during the installation of the storm drain. During excavation for the storm drain, underground utilities were found to be in conflict with the design storm drain elevations. Due to these unforeseen utility conflicts, the storm drain system requires a design revision. As a result, the shoring and steel plates must remain in place to protect the public during the redesign of the storm drain system. The contractor agrees to accept a lump sum payment of $5,919.51 to cover the additional rental costs incurred during the idle time due to the redesign.

This change order also provides for additional excavation for the storm drain on the south side of 30th Street. During the initial excavation, the contractor encountered an existing sewer line and gas line that conflicted with the proposed storm drain alignment. The Project Engineer directed the contractor to install the storm drain over the utility lines to avoid the conflict, which subsequently created an interference with the new curb and gutter. As a result, the contractor was required to re -excavate and adjust the storm drain alignment by 2.5 -feet from its original elevation. The contractor agrees to do the above-mentioned work for the lump sum price of $1,324.33

Also, during construction, it was determined that additional pavement removal was required beyond the City’s standard 1-foot to 2-foot tie-in to provide a proper transition between the adjacent parking lot and the new sidewalk. The contractor agrees to remove additional pavement, patch back and compact areas with HMA as needed to provide proper drainage from the existing parking lot to new curb and gutter for the lump sum price of $10,815.67.

In addition, Contract Change Order No. 3 provides compensation for the additional cost to use ½ -inch HMA mix instead of the ¾ -inch HMA mix originally specified for the project. During cold planning operations, a 10-inch section of concrete roadway was found below the existing asphalt. In order to save time, the Project Engineer decided to utilize the existing concrete section and pave ½-inch HMA on top of the existing concrete. The contractor agrees to accept a cost increase of $5.75 per ton of HMA for a total lump sum price of $7,760.00.

Contract Change Order No. 2 also p rovides for the additional concrete removed to complete the water tie-in at the new service point of connections as revised by the Project Engineer. The contractor agrees to do the above-mentioned work for lump sum price of $1,353.46

During the installation of the irrigation and landscaping, the Recreation and Parks Department requested changes to the landscape and irrigation design to reduce vandalism and theft of the new irrigation equipment. The contractor agrees to upgrade the controller cabinet, install a two-wire system instead of the original four-wire design, add additional conduit to accommodate the new system, and upgrade the solenoids for compatibility with the two-wire configuration for the lump sum price of $40,824.76.

Additionally, the contr actor agrees to provide a credit to the City in the amount of $15,595.47 as compensation for the deletion of the original three (3) booster pumps and the irrigation controller.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This project is funded by State and Federal grants, as well as by the Public Safety and Vital Services (PSVS) Measure.

The total cost increase for Contract Change Order No.3 is $52,402.26. The project has been completed, and this is the final change order to close out the project. This final change order reflects a total project cost increase of $179,890.42 (6.00 percent increase of the original contract amount) as illustrated below:

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT

MEETING DATE: November 5, 2025 AGENDA CATEGORY: Consent– Public Hearing TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Darin Budak, Recreation and Parks Director
DATE: September 18, 2025
SUBJECT: Public hearing to consider resolution approving and adopting an adjusted fee for the Park Development and Improvement Fee.

All Wards

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends adoption of the resolution

BACKGROUND:

On November 7, 1990, the City Council approved Ordinance No. 3327, which added Chapter 15.82 to the Bakersfield Municipal Code. The purpose of Chapter 15.82 is to promote the public interest by establishing and imposing a f ee as a method for financing the development, improvement, and/or enhancement of public parks. New residential construction is charged a fee for the development of new parks, the Park Development and Improvement Fee (Fee). Chapter 15.82.060 of the Bakersfi eld Municipal Code states the Recreation and Parks Director shall submit a proposed fee schedule (annual report) regarding the Fee amount to be collected for each new dwelling unit. This Fee shall be adjusted annually by the construction cost index (CCI). Also, the Fee schedule shall be further adjusted to reflect all costs incurred for park development, improvement, or enhancement. This Fee shall be adopted by resolution of the City Council following a noticed public hearing.

Staff regularly reviews the actual costs to develop a new park including amenities from both the Recreation and Parks Department and the Public Works Department. The last Fee adjustment was adopted by the City Council on November 06, 2024 with an effective date of January 1, 2025 . City Staff has calculated the proposed adjusted Fee based on the increase of 4.33% in the CCI - Los Angeles from July 2024 through July 2025 (Exhibit A) and the current actual cost to develop a new park. Staff recommends that the Fee be increased from the current $3,142.00 per residential unit to $3,278.00 per residential unit.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The Park Development and Improvement Fee are collected for future park sites within new residential tracts. The increase in the fee will help reduce funding gaps that currently occur in new park construction.

COUNCIL GOAL:

Reliable Infrastructure
Community Character & Quality of Life

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT

MEETING DATE: November 5, 2025 AGENDA CATEGORY: Reports TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Phillip Burns, Development Services Director
DATE: October 23, 2025
SUBJECT: Habitat Conservation Plan

1.Update on efforts toward adoption of a new Habitat Conservation Plan

2. Agreement with ICF JONES & STOKES, INC (not to exceed $495,073.25) to continue work on the BHCP

RECOMMENDATION:

Receive and file report and approval of the Agreement.

BACKGROUND:

For nearly 30 years, the City of Bakersfield (City) and County of Kern (County) successfully implemented the Metropolitan Bakersfield Habitat Conservation Plan (MBHCP). The MBHCP was a regional habitat conservation plan and state permit that allowed impacts to federal and state listed species resulting from urbanization and related development activities. Although extensive energy was expended over the last ten years in efforts toward preparation of a new habitat conservation plan, the MBHCP and associated Incidental Take Permit (ITP) expired on January 1, 2023 without a subsequent plan in effect.

On February 8, 2023, staff presented a draft Habitat Conservation Plan that was determined to be approvable by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) and the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), collectively referred to as the Wildlife Agencies. The draft plan included:

 Grading Hold process was retained. Incidental take of protected species was authorized via the release of the “hold” on grading permits.
 Habitat Mitigation Fee rose from $2,145 to $14,070 per gross acre.  The 5-day grading permit application review time was unchanged.  Avoidance and Minimization Measures remained similar to the MBHCP.  An Urban Kit Fox Artificial Den Program was to be established, with a Kit Fox Biologist added to City staff.
 A Public Education Campaign with website and Public Education Specialist position was to be added to City staff.
 A Disease Treatment & Monitoring Program would have been established.  Funding for one (1) employee with CDFW was included, enhancing CDFW response times and availability.
 The City and the County were permittees within the new proposed HCP.  The term of the new HCP/ITP was to be thirty years.

At that meeting, Council expressed concern over the per acre mitigation fee and directed staff to identify amendments to the proposed draft HCP that would reduce per acre mitigation costs.

City Staff went through many different options to reduce the program cost per acre to a number that was palatable This could not occur in a manner to meet program requirements thus effort slowed to evaluate other options.

New Approach
Staff met with CDFW to discuss options on methodologies to meet program requirements and bring costs down. It was clear in the meeting that CDFW desires the City to focus on an urban kit fox plan and not a purchase habitat land to offset developed property program. To better und erstand, staff along with ICF representatives and a CDFW member went on a field trip to residential developments in the southwest Bakersfield to discuss potential mitigation of a real project. The group agreed that there are options to meet overall conserv ation goals and continue developing. With a path forward, the plan will require a change in mind set of how the development community mitigate s and actually promotes urban Kit Fox activity. There will need to be several components to the proposed plan rang ing from new development standards, establishing an endowment to mitigate outbreaks of mange, easements for habitat dens and areas of refuge, as well as other items. A presentation will be provided that will explain the steps toward obtaining the new HCP a nd program highlights. The actual cost per acre is unknown at this time as this will be the first of its kind plan. It is anticipated to be less than the previous $14k per acres fee that was brought forward in 2023.

Should Council choose to move forwar d with this approach, staff has prepared a new contract with the ICF for approval on tonight’s agenda. As grant funding is no longer available, ICF has provided a scope of work and accompanying cost estimate of approximately $498,000.

Should Council choos e to not move forward, staff will discontinue efforts toward adoption of a new Bakersfield Habitat Conservation Plan.

FISCAL IMPACT:

If Council moves forward, approximately $498,000 of funds will be expended on completion of an HCP.

Staff coordination of that effort will require dedication of resources sufficient to complete the task, adding additional staff time for this project.

COUNCIL GOAL:

Economic Opportunity for All
Community Character and Quality of Life

Subject: Bakersfield Habitat Conservation Plan Revision Scope of Work Updated Approach
Dear Mr. Burns:

ICF Jones & Stokes, Inc. (hereafter, ICF) is proposing to support the City of Bakersfield with revisions to the Bakersfield Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) and other associated documents. In 2023, the City council requested substantial revisions to the HCP to reduce program costs. After you assumed your role in 2024 and conducted additional discussions with city council members, city staff, city attorneys, U.S.

Fish and Wildlife Service, California Department of Fish and Wildlife, and ICF, it became clear that an “urban” HCP could help achieve the goals and objectives of the stakeholders. Our proposed scope of work is attached and it is intended to support revisions to the HCP and state incidental take permit applications based on these discussions, as well as, include tasks necessary for revisions to the National Environmental Policy Act and California Environmental Quality Act documents that are needed to support permit approvals. ICF looks forward to working with you to advance this important program.

ICF’s contracts department will be in contact with you and your finance staff to discuss mutually acceptable contract terms and conditions. ICF’s proposal is valid for 90 days from its submittal, at which time ICF reserves the right to revise the contents or extend the validity date, if needed.

If you have any questions, please contact Brad Norton at [email protected] or (916) 548-0671.

ncerely,

980 9th Street, Suite 1200, Sacramento, CA 95814 USA +1.916.737.3000 icf.com Attachment – Background and Scope of Work
Background
The City of Bakersfield Planning Department tasked ICF with revising the Bakersfield Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) to reduce costs while ensuring regulatory compliance and conservation outcomes. Preliminary evaluation and revisions to costs indicate the development fee could be reduced; the final cost per acres is still to be determined, but the City has requested that it be below $11,000 per acre. The City has also requested a tiered funding strategy whereby fees are paid in increments (e.g., partial fees at the time of permit issuance/construction and the remainder of fees upon sale).

Key Changes & Recommendations
To reduce overall HCP fee costs, the following key changes to the plan are proposed:

1. Streamlined Staffing & Administrative Costs:

Reduce staffing commitments, such as scaling back FTE allocations for planners and administrative roles, while maintaining essential services for implementation. a. Principal planner – 50% time allocation (down from 100%) b. Associate planner – 50% time allocation (down from 100%) c. Accountant clerk – 50% time allocation (down from 100%) d. GIS support – 50% time allocation (no change)
e. Real estate specialist – 25% time allocation (down from 50%) f. CDFW biologist – Eliminate entirely

2. Urban Kit Fox Program Enhancements:

Focus on urban conservation strategies, such as integrating artificial dens, corridors, and habitat features in the urban landscape, reducing reliance on extensive land acquisitions. a. Retain full-time on-call biologist – no change
b. Public education staff – 50% time allocation (down from 100%) c. Public education budget – no change
d. Retain research and disease treatment – no change
e. Retain den program – no change
f. Urban design guidelines – new measures to be developed with associated costs g. Urban kit fox management guidelines – new measures to be developed with costs h. Urban kit fox acquisition guidelines and goals – new measures to be developed with costs:
i. Urban-focused conservation measures such as artificial dens and habitat corridors will complement focused land acquisition efforts to fully mitigate impacts and support the persistence of SJKF populations.

3. Funding Revisions:

Refine the funding strategy to:

Docusign Envelope ID: 50D6D1B3-8DA6-42EF-AC58-74388E80A124 Attachment – Background and Scope of Work

a. Implement a tiered funding structure where development fees are split into two payments: an initial fee at grading permit issuance and remainder of payment upon sale.
b. Address potential funding gaps through annual tracking and adjustments.

Scope of Work
Task 1. HCP Revisions
Task 1.1. Revised Administrative Draft HCP
ICF will revise the HCP to focus on urban kit fox retention and substantially reduce its implementation costs. Revisions will include:
• Updating the HCP to cover San Joaquin kit fox, western burrowing owl, and Bakersfield cactus (and exclude San Joaquin antelope squirrel)
• Updating the cost models to reflect adjusted administrative costs, kit fox program expenses, and conservation acquisition and management expenses. • Collaborating with Endangered Species Recovery Program (ESRP) regarding measures to support kit fox persistence in an urban setting
• Updating the conservation strategy to focus on urban kit fox persistence • Collaborating with Economic Planning Systems (EPS) and the City attorney and staff to explore a phased fee approach consistent with the Mitigation Fee Act. • Updating the economic cost model and fee calculations in partnership with EPS to account for these changes.
• Presenting revisions to the HCP in track changes for clarity and review. • Providing a revised administrative draft to the City for review and integrating City feedback before submitting the revised administrative draft to USFWS and CDFW for review.

Deliverables for Task 1.1

Task 2. Initial Study/Environmental Assessment (IS/EA)
Task 2.1. Prepare Notices
ICF had previously completed a Notice of Intent (NOI) and Notice of Preparation (NOP), but these will need to be updated to reflect an updated HCP. ICF will assist the Lead Agencies with revising and updating public notices to reflect the updated HCP. This includes preparing the following notices for publication in the Federal Register and State Clearinghouse at various stages of the IS/EA Process:
• Notice of Intent (NOI) and notice of public meetings/hearings, for publication in the Federal Register at the time of the circulation of the draft IS/EA. • Notice of Availability (NOA) and notice of public meetings/hearings, for publication with the State Clearinghouse at the time of the circulation of the draft IS/EA. • NOA and notice of public meetings/hearings, for publication in the Federal Register at the time of the circulation of the final IS/EA.
• Notice of Completion (NOC) and Environmental Document Transmittal Form for distribution to the State Clearinghouse, to be included with the draft IS/EA. • NOC and Environmental Document Transmittal Form for distribution to the State Clearinghouse, to be included with the final Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND)/EA. • Notice of Determination (NOD) at completion of the final MND/EA. • ICF will also assisting the City with preparation of website and newspaper notices, ensuring that all required information is addressed in the notices. This scope of work does not include fees associated with newspapers notices or California Department of Fish and Wildlife CEQA fee which will be paid by the City.

In addition, ICF will ensure:
• Public copies of notices (NOI, NOA, Office of Planning and Research Summary Form and other local notices) are reproducing and distributed.
• USFWS publishes the NOI and NOAs in the Federal Register, and separately submits them to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for notification, as required under NEPA. • The City will file the NOD with the Kern County Clerk’s office within 5 days of the City’s approval of the HCP MND/EA. ICF will prepare the draft NOD for the City’s review and use.

Docusign Envelope ID: 50D6D1B3-8DA6-42EF-AC58-74388E80A124 Attachment – Background and Scope of Work

o NOI, NOC, NOA and OPR Summary Form for the draft and final IS/EA o NOA for the final MND/EA
o NOC for the draft IS/EA
o NOD for the final MND/EA, with updated distribution of the NOP, NOI, NOC, NOA, and OPR Summary Form to the State Clearinghouse.

Task 2.2. Scoping Meeting, Public Meeting, and Tribal Consultation ICF will coordinate with the City and USFWS staff to organize and actively participate in up to three meetings, including the following:
• Public scoping meeting following issuance of the NOI/NOA (assumes one meeting) • Public meetings on the draft IS/EA (assumes one meeting) • Public meetings on the final MND/EA (assumes one meeting) Additional meetings beyond the meetings included in this SOW and associated cost estimate may be requested and authorized by the City and USFWS if needed.

To support these efforts, ICF staff will:
• Attend, facilitate, present, and respond to questions regarding the IS/EA. • Work with the City and USFWS in advance of the meetings to determine the appropriate presentation format and materials, and we will collaboratively develop the presentation materials and handouts.
• Organize the meeting locations and times, in coordination with the lead agencies, and ensure other appropriate technical staff (e.g., Wildlife Agency staff, HCP Team consultants) are available to assist with questions about the HCP.

ICF will summarize the issues raised by the public during the scoping meetings in a detailed scoping report. The scoping report will include:
• A brief summary of all comments received on the NOI.
• Copies of letters, handwritten comments, and a summary of oral comments, advertisements published in newspapers, meeting notices, and materials provided during the public scoping meetings.
• ICF assumes that a court reporter will not be required for these meetings.

Additionally, ICF will assist with formal consultation with Native American tribes and the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) in support of the project’s Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), NEPA, and AB-52 obligations. The purpose of the consultation will be to:
• Define the project and its area of potential effects (APE).

Deliverable for Task 2.4
• One digital copy (in Word and PDF) of the public draft IS/EA to be delivered to the City, and USFWS.

Task 2.5. Final IS/EA
Following the close of the public review period for the Public Draft IS/EA, ICF will:
• Code all individual comments and coordinate with the City and USFWS to review comments received on the IS/EA, and discuss potential responses to these comments. • Prepare a table summarizing commentors on the Public Draft IS/EA. We will closely coordinate responses to comments with the HCP team in case any responses affect the HCP and necessitate changes in that document.
• Following compilation and summary of the comments, ICF will begin analyzing comments, drafting responses to comments, and drafting text changes in response to comments. The Final IS/EA will comprise:
o The complete Draft IS/EA, including technical appendices (as modified in response to comments received) with text changes shown in strike-out and underline; Docusign Envelope ID: 50D6D1B3-8DA6-42EF-AC58-74388E80A124 Attachment – Background and Scope of Work

Page 6 of 8 ends

o A table of commentors, copies of the comment letters, and responses to individual comments (including master responses, if appropriate); and o The mitigation monitoring and reporting plan (this scope of work assumes that the mitigation plan developed as part of the HCP will also serve as the MMRP, as amended by the mitigation in the IS/EA).

An electronic version of the Final IS/EA will be distributed by ICF to all commentors on the Public Draft IS/EA and all those who have shown interest in receiving the Final documents, including the affected agencies, for a 30-day final review. This 30-day final review period for the Final IS/EA will accomplish the CEQA requirement to provide written responses to public agency comments at least 10 days prior to certifying the IS/MND (Public Resources Code 21092.5(s)).

Electronic Record and Signature Disclosure

ELECTRONIC RECORD AND SIGNATURE DISCLOSURE
From time to time, City of Bakersfield (we, us or Company) may be required by law to provide to you certain written notices or disclosures. Described below are the terms and conditions for providing to you such notices and disclosures electronically through the DocuSign system.

Please read the information below carefully and thoroughly, and if you can access this information electronically to your satisfaction and agree to this Electronic Record and Signature Disclosure (ERSD), please confirm your agreement by selecting the check-box next to ‘I agree to use electronic records and signatures’ before clicking ‘CONTINUE’ within the DocuSign system.

Getting paper copies
At any time, you may request from us a paper copy of any record provided or made available electronically to you by us. You will have the ability to download and print documents we send to you through the DocuSign system during and immediately after the signing session and, if you elect to create a DocuSign account, you may access the documents for a limited period of time (usually 30 days) after such documents are first sent to you. After such time, if you wish for us to send you paper copies of any such documents from our office to you, you will be charged a $0.00 per-page fee. You may request delivery of such paper copies from us by following the procedure described below.

Withdrawing your consent
If you decide to receive notices and disclosures from us electronically, you may at any time change your mind and tell us that thereafter you want to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format. How you must inform us of your decision to receive future notices and disclosure in paper format and withdraw your consent to receive notices and disclosures electronically is described below.

Consequences of changing your mind
If you elect to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format, it will slow the speed at which we can complete certain steps in transactions with you and delivering services to you because we will need first to send the required notices or disclosures to you in paper format, and then wait until we receive back from you your acknowledgment of your receipt of such paper notices or disclosures. Further, you will no longer be able to use the DocuSign system to receive required notices and consents electronically from us or to sign electronically documents from us.

All notices and disclosures will be sent to you electronically Electronic Record and Signature Disclosure created on: 6/28/2022 10:51:05 AM Parties agreed to: Pat Toben-Cropper, Phil Burns

To reduce the chance of you inadvertently not receiving any notice or disclosure, we prefer to provide all of the required notices and disclosures to you by the same method and to the same address that you have given us. Thus, you can receive all the disclosures and notices electronically or in paper format through the paper mail delivery system. If you do not agree with this process, please let us know as described below.
