ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
MEETING DATE: April 22, 2026 AGENDA CATEGORY: Consent - Agreement TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Kristina Budak, Water Director
DATE: April 7, 2026
SUBJECT: Amendment No. 3 to Agreement No. 2023-024 with AECOM Technical Services, Inc (extend the term by eight months and increase compensation by $47,300; revised not to exceed $238,300) to provide design and engineering services for Wastewater Treatment Plant No. 3 Booster Blower Upgrade.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommend approval of amendment.

BACKGROUND:

Wastewater Treatment Plant No. 3 has three gas blowers that are responsible for boosting digester gas pressure to 10 psi prior to conveyance to the gas treatment facilities. The proper operation of the booster blowers ensures that gas from digesters is collected, treated, and used by the internal combustion cogenerations engines or properly disposed of via the flare.

On January 25, 2023, City entered into Agreement No. 2023-024 with AECOM Technical Services (AECOM) to provide design and engineering services for the Booster Blower Upgrade project. AECOM was selected from City’s On-Call Library of Professional Firms and approved by staff after their proposal was found to be acceptable.

Amendment No. 1 to Agreement No. 2023-024 was approved on February 28, 2024, adding $19,000 in compensation to cover expanded scope, including design details for replacing pressure relief valves, sediment traps, flame arrestors, and back-pressure relief valves for digesters 3 through 6, along with additional bidding and construction phase support.

Amendment No. 2 to Agreement No. 2023-024 was approved on May 28, 2025, extending the term by 18 months and adding $20,000 in compensation to address a higher-than-expected volume of requests for information submissions that exceeded the available project budget.

The proposed Amendment No. 3 would add $47,300 to cover additional change orders and the City's request for record drawings based on field markups, bringing total compensation to $238,300 and extending the term through August 31, 2027.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Sufficient funds are budgeted in the Sewer Enterprise Fund capital improvement program for this amendment, therefore, there is no impact to the City General Fund associated with this amendment.

Subject: Wastewater Treatment Plant No. 3 Blower Replacement Dear Evette,
AECOM Technical Services, Inc. (AECOM) is pleased to submit this proposal for replacement of the City of Bakersfield (City) Wastewater Treatment No. 3 Blower system.

PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
The Blowers at City of Bakersfield Wastewater Treatment 3 receive digester gas from the six active digesters, compress the gas and send it to the gas treatment area to the south and immediately east of the Cogeneration facility. The blowers should operate when gas pressure from the digesters is above a set range. Below that range, the blowers should shut off. (Alternately if the blowers operated with VFD’s they could operate for longer run times and deliver gas in a smoother manner to the gas treatment facility). At the treatment facility, H2S and Siloxane are removed, and the gas is stored in a large buffer vessel from which the gas is conveyed to the co-generators. If the pressure measured in the buffer vessel increases above a given set point, then gas is sent to the flare and continues until a given lower set pressure is reached.

The blowers are a critical element. For that reason, there are three which consist of one primary and two alternates. At no time should there be any less than one alternate blower that is operational.

The three blowers have reached the end of their reliable service life and need to be replaced. To extend future service life, this project will consist of replacing all three blowers with new ones and include a new cooling system, a canopy and new power and control for the blowers. At your preference the canopy may also have lighting for security and for working on the equipment (two levels of lighting).

SCOPE OF SERVICES
Task 1 – Design Phase

1.1 Attend project kick-off meeting and visit project site. We will cover scope, schedule, and deliverables. To save time and effort, at the Kickoff meeting, we will also present our preliminary work which will consist of calculations to size the blowers based on full plant capacity of 32 MGD.

We will also look at various blower and glycol cooler manufacturers and discuss options with the City.

It is the goal of this discussion to receive direction from the City on selection of the major equipment.

AECOM 2

1.2 Background Plan and Control Narrative: The control system that operates the blowers will be inspected by our instrumentation designer, to determine which are in satisfactory working condition and which need to be replaced. Those components are at the blower site, and some are also at the gas treatment site. We will verify how the system currently operates and make recommendations on adjustments that should be made at that time for better operation. We will also describe how the new system will be controlled. The control narrative will describe how the gas flow will be controlled, how the compressors will operate (lead-lag and alternating starts), VFD option if viable, and the signals that will go to SCADA. SCADA integration is not assumed to be in our scope and should be provided by the City’s SCADA integrator. These recommendations will be accompanied with a plan view identifying locations of each primary component.

Deliverable: Memo style. A concept plan and process/control narrative that recommends adjustments to the current system control if possible and how the replacement system will operate.

1.3 Plans, Specifications, and Opinion of Probable Construction Cost will be prepared at the 90% and 100% levels. The plans will be developed in AutoCAD (2D).

Deliverables:
• Three (3) hardcopies and electronic (PDF) copy of 90% Construction Plans, Technical Specifications, and Opinion of Probable Cost
• Three (3) hardcopies and electronic (PDF) copy of 100% Construction Plans, Technical Specifications, and Opinion of Probable Cost
Assumptions:
• Preparation of environmental documentation and/or permitting of any kind is not included. • Plans will be developed based on the Record Drawings dated 2007. Dimensions will not be independently verified or topographically surveyed. Dimensions will be tape measured in the field by our design staff as needed for layout. • SCADA integration is assumed to be completed by the City. • Wiring and conduits between the blower/cooler skids and motor control center will be replaced, and the existing motor control center will also be replaced if needed. • The geotechnical investigation and recommendations report for the 2007 project at Wastewater Treatment Plant 3 2007 Expansion will be made available to AECOM. If additional testing is needed, it will be provided by the City.

Task 2 – Bidding Phase

2.1 AECOM will attend and participate in the pre-bid conference. We will assist the City in preparing an agenda and take notes during the meeting. Following the meeting, AECOM will provide a memorandum to the City.

2.2 Design team personnel will be available to answer RFI’s for the duration of the project bid period (Up to 5 assumed).

2.3 AECOM personnel will be available to aid in the preparation of addendums to the contract documents that may become necessary during the project bid period. (One addendum assumed that will require AECOM assistance).

AECOM 3
Assumptions:
• City personnel will advertise and issue all addenda.

Task 3 – Construction Phase

3.1 Pre-Construction Meeting Attendance. AECOM’s Project Manager and Project Engineer will attend the pre-construction conference to be held at the City with the Contractor, City Construction Division personnel, and City Design personnel.

Assumptions:
• It is assumed that the City’s personnel will prepare the agenda for the meeting and facilitate the meeting. It is also assumed that AECOM will assist with the agenda as needed. AECOM will prepare a memorandum to the City following the meeting.

3.2 Review Submittals / Shop Drawings/ RFI. AECOM will review submittals / shop drawings and Requests for Information (RFI) produced by the project contractor as requested by the City’s construction team. The review will be for general conformance with the design concept of the project and general compliance with the plans and specifications.

Assumptions:
• It is assumed that the Contractor shall have an acceptable submittal upon the second submission.
• It is assumed not more than twelve (12) submittals and seven (7) RFIs will be reviewed.

3.3 AECOM electrical engineer will perform a site visit to field verify electrical and instrumentation installation.

Assumptions:
• It is assumed that no more than one (1) site visit will occur.

3.4 Support the Preparation of Change Orders. AECOM personnel will be available to aid the City of Bakersfield construction team in the generation of Contract Change Orders as needed during the construction phase of the project.

Assumptions:
• It is assumed that no more than one (1) contract change order will be necessary.

3.5 Project Construction Site Visits and Meetings. AECOM project personnel will be available to make construction site visits at key points as requested by the City’s project manager.

Assumptions:
• It is assumed that no more than four (4) total site visits and/or meetings will be necessary.

Wastewater Treatment Plant No. 3 Blower Replacement (E3K305) – Request for Amendment No. 1 Dear Ali:

The City of Bakersfield requested that our scope of work for the subject project be expanded to include replacing pressure relief valves, sediment traps, flame arrestors, and back-pressure relief valves for Digesters 3 through 6. We have prepared initial drawings and reviewed them with Brian Villacorta and Jim Groman who represent Varec Biogas. Following that review, our design scope was adjusted to also include a manhole pressure relief cover which is a new code requirement for digesters. The total price of the construction contract with this change should be in the range of $550,000 to $750,000. Our proposed fee increase is to provide design, bid-phase and engineering services for construction is summarized below and included in the attached staffing plan.

Summary
Design: Design services consist of two site visits, research of codes and coordination with vendors, selection of equipment and preparation of design with structural checks, prepare two drawings (one plan and one for sections and details, an additional specification section, addition to the engineering opinion of probable construction cost.
$16,300
Bidding Phase: Added services only include one more RFI. Other items are covered by our original contract.
700
Construction Phase: Engineering services during construction will consist of answering one additional RFI and two additional submittals. Other engineering services offered during construction are covered by our original contract.
2,000
Budgetary impact on total project $19,000

Subject: Proposal for Amendment #2 for Wastewater Treatment Plant No. 3 Blower Replacement (E3K305) Dear Ali:

AECOM Technical Services, Inc. (AECOM) is currently assisting the City of Bakersfield (City) with construction engineering services for the subject project per the City’s Agreement No. 2023-024 as amended. The equipment manufacturer for the blower skids has a procurement lead time of 40 weeks, extending the construction phase past what was originally anticipated during the preparation of the proposal. To date, we have received the anticipated number of Requests for Information (RFI’s) in the original scope of work and anticipate receiving additional RFI’s when construction on the blower skids begins. In addition, during the contractor’s preconstruction efforts, it was found that the MCC room did not have the ability to accommodate breakers for the new chillers resulting in an increase in the number of RFI’s, meetings, and revisions to the design. Separately, the City requested to add the replacement of the master control panel and revision of the blower panels manufacturer from Allen Bradley to Schneider Electric which will result in additional support efforts.

The extensive construction phase timeline, additional RFI’s, and revisions to the electrical design will result in an overrun of the existing budget. AECOM anticipates that additional time will be needed of AECOM to resolve issues that may arise as well as responding to additional submittals and RFI’s.

AECOM anticipates additional scope as follows:

RFI’s and Submittals:

A total of 12 RFI’s and 9 submittals have been received to date with no major construction taken place yet. It is anticipated that additional support will be needed when construction begins as follows. • Respond to an additional 14 RFI’s.
• Review an additional 2 Submittals. (master control panel, and blower skids control panel resubmittal) Electrical Changes
• Per the City’s direction, the Blower Master Control Panel will be replaced. Its replacement was not part of the original scope of work. No design changes are anticipated, however; the additional effort includes time to support the City to integrate the change into the project including attending additional meetings and an additional submittal review.
• The lack of room in MCC-5 to fit the breakers and buckets for the blowers and the chillers (RFI 003) led to revisions to the electrical design drawings including the addition of an electrical panel. This change is considered a betterment to the project as the efforts alleviate the congestion in the MCC room. This resulted in additional efforts from AECOM.

AECOM has exhausted our current construction phase engineering budget of $27,000 and is respectfully requesting that the City consider issuing an amendment in the amount of $26,512.50 to provide additional construction phase engineering support services. We are proposing the City reallocate unused budget of $6,512.50 from the Bidding phase to the Construction phase for this work, resulting in a net change order of $20,000.00. Our proposed fee increases is summarized below and detailed in the attached staffing plan.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends approval of the amendment.

BACKGROUND: As the City continues to grow, we continue to expand our roads, to redevelop our Economic and Redevelopment areas, with our real property acquisitions, disposal of excess lands, and property management needs. The City does not currently have sufficient staffing and expertise in these fields to handle the current and upcoming workload in-house. The City has an immediate need for assistance with projects and specific council objectives to assist with redevelopment and blighted properties.

Therefore, in 2022 the City sent out a Request for Proposals for right of way and real estate services. As a result, on May 10, 2023, the City entered On -Call agreements with Overland Pacific & Cutler, Inc. (OPC) and Bender Rosenthal Inc. (BRI) to create a bench to perform the services needed on a timely basis as to not interfere with upcoming project deadlines.

On May 14, 2025 the City and Consultants entered Amendment 1 for one year extension to extend the term to May 10, 2026.

The City and Consultants now wish to exercise their option to extend their contracts for two years to now expire on May 10, 2028.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The amendment of this agreement allow for the City to contract services in Real Estate that assists many departments, any department that uses these on call service will need to pay for and fund these by specific projects budgets.

SUBJECT: Basin 1 to 9 Turnout Reconstruction Project

1. Contract Change Order No. 1 with Remedial Transportation Services (increase compensation $86,125.10) to reconstruction the Basin 1 to 9 Turnout.

2. Appropriate $86,126 from the Agricultural Water Fund Balance to the Water Department’s Capital Improvement Program budget for the project.
(Ward 5)
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommend approval of the contract change order and appropriation.

BACKGROUND:

The scope of work for this project in general consists of replacing the existing Basin 1 to 9 Turnout structure within the 2,800-Acre Groundwater Recharge Area. The work includes removal of the existing structure, regrading the project area, and construction of the new reinforced concrete turnout structure with slide gates.

Item 1:

During construction, Remedial Transportation Services (RTS) discovered an unidentified utility line that was in conflict with the turnout structures footprint. It was determined that the utility line was an active 18-inch diameter PVC water line that belonged to the Kern County Water Agency, which would need to be relocated. RTS submitted an RFI with a proposal to relocate the water line horizontally and vertically to avoid conflict with the turnout structure. It was determined that an expedited response to this matter would not only minimize project delays but also minimize the costs for remobilizing equipment that RTS has on site. The additional work to relocate the 18” waterline has a cost of $86,125.10.

Original Contract Amount = $829,787.00
Total of Previous Change Orders = $0
Current Contract Change Order = $86,125.10
Amended Contract Amount After Change Orders = $915,912.10 Net Increase to Date = $86,125.10
Item 2:

An appropriation of $86,126 from the Agricultural Water Fund is requested in order to fund the contract change order.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The funding source for this project is the Agricultural Water Fund; with approval of the requested appropriation, sufficient funds will be available in the Water Resources Capital Improvement Budget. This contract change order has no impact to the City’s General Fund.

SUBJECT: Appropriate $750,000 from the Sewer Enterprise Fund (SEF) fund balance into the Public Works Department’s Capital Improvements Program within the (SEF) fund for the Sewer Improvements along Cottonwood Road from Pacheco Road to WWTP #2 project.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends the approval of the appropriation.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Bakersfield has a sewer improvements project along Cottonwood Road from Pacheco Road to Wastewater Treatment Plant #2 (WWTP #2) currently under construction, which was awarded on November 20, 2024, to Sierra Construction & Excavation, Inc. in the amount of $4,493,105.00. The funding for this project consisted of both American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA) and Sewer Enterprise Funds (SEF). The actions at the City Council included the construction contract award, which included only the base bid and additive alternate #1 work, and $450,000 set aside for City-controlled contingency. However, due to staff oversight, the funding set aside for the contingency amount was returned back to fund balance, thus leaving the project underfunded.

The Base Bid included work associated with the gravity sewer line from the intersection of White Lane at Cottonwood Road to the Wastewater Treatment Plant #2; Additive Alternate No. 1 is work associated with the force main line from the Lift Station at Pacheco Road at Cottonwood to the intersection of White Lane at Cottonwood Road; and Additive Alternate No. 2 is the work associated with the construction of the Lift Station located at the corner of Pacheco Road at Cottonwood Road.

Due to environmental concerns associated with the project, the City had to pivot and eliminate portions of the work associated with the base bid and replace it with portions of work associated with additive alternate No. 2. Staff is requesting an appropriation from the Sewer Enterprise Fund in the amount of $750,000. This funding will cover the original $450,000 City-controlled contingency amount along with the changes in scope of work as mentioned above, which eliminated portions of the base bid and added portions of additive alternate No. 2, which increased the contract amount by approximately $300,000.

This appropriation will allow staff to continue with the project and deliver the spending of all ARPA funds before they lapse. This appropriation will be sufficient to pay for other change orders, City-controlled contingencies and City inspections staff time.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This appropriation is entirely funded with Sewer Enterprise Funds (SEF); therefore, there is no general fund impact associated with this appropriation. After the completion of the appropriation, there will be sufficient funds available for City-controlled contingencies, change orders and city inspection staff time.

SUBJECT: 2026 SLESF Growth Funds Appropriation.

Appropriate $644,618.71 State Grant Revenues to the Police Operating Budget within the Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Fund.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends approval of this appropriation.

BACKGROUND: Since the passage of the Citizen’s Option for Public Safety in 1996-97, the Bakersfield Police Department (BPD) has received an annual allocation from the State’s Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Fund (SLESF). The program was designed to provide State funds to local law enforcement agencies for the purpose of addressing current front line law enforcement needs. Pursuant to state law, monies allocated from SLESF to a recipient entity shall be expended exclusively to provide front line law enforcement services. These monies shall supplement existing services and shall not be used to supplant any existing funding for law enforcement services provided by that entity.

FISCAL IMPACT: Each year’s SLESF allocation is distributed monthly over a 12-month period, then appropriated into the following year’s Department Operating Budget. The estimated FY2024-2024 SLESF allocation of $631,801.23 was appropriated by the City Council into the Police Operating Budget within the SLESF fund for FY2024-2025, as part of the annual budget adoption. Since the adoption of the budget, the BPD continues to receive monthly SLESF distributions from the State Department of Finance from the FY2024-25 allocation totaling $644,618.71. The Cumulative total of funds received from the FY2024-2025 State SLESF allocation is $1,276,419.94. Therefore, additional monies are used to augment the amount of funds already budgeted for police activities throughout the city. There is no General Fund impact.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The City of Arvin won a $1,956,575 grant from Parks for All Californians to renovate and improve Kovacevich Park. The Field of Dreams project includes focused rehabilitation of the existing park and consists of developing concept plans, construction plans, and bid documents for the improvements. QK is producing improvement plans based on site amenity selection, play structure selection, site improvement cost estimates, and specifications, and will provide bidding and construction for the improvements. Our services include removing and replacing sections of the existing baseball and tee-ball fields, playground area, and basketball court. Park amenities and the parking lot will be improved and renovated, along with a topographic site survey of the park site.

APPLICABILITY TO ALONDRA PARK PROJECT
Kovacevich Park mirrors the Alondra Park scope in several key ways: multi-amenity site design, phased PS&E deliverables, topographic surveying, and full bidding and construction support. QK’s experience navigating a grant-funded municipal park from concept through closeout demonstrates the fiscal accountability and phased delivery discipline — Preliminary through Construction — that Project #26-RP0001 requires. Our work selecting and placing playground equipment, rehabilitating sports courts, and improving parking and site amenities maps directly to Alondra Park’s anticipated program, which includes play areas for two age groups, sports activity zones, and vehicular parking. Working within a fixed grant budget also sharpened QK’s approach to cost estimating and scope prioritization, skills directly applicable to a project where the City has noted construction timing may depend on funding availability. 9 MLK PARK EXTENSION DESIGN

Currently, Pop Warner football teams practice at MLK, and the City envisions the new park to be used for active recreation, including exercise equipment and a walking/ jogging path around the site. The project consisted of developing a concept plan, construction plans, and bid documents for park improvements. QK produced improvement plans based on the City’s preferred concept selection, cost estimates, and specifications, and will provide bidding and construction support for the improvements.

APPLICABILITY TO ALONDRA PARK PROJECT
MLK Park Extension directly parallels the active recreation programming at the heart of Alondra Park. QK’s experience designing fitness equipment areas and a walking/jogging path — both explicitly called out in the City’s anticipated park elements — demonstrates hands-on familiarity with the amenity types Bakersfield envisions for this site. The full PS&E delivery model, from concept selection through construction documents, specifications, cost estimates, and bidding support, reflects the same phased structure Project #26-RP0001 requires. Coordinating design on a site adjacent to active multifamily construction also required careful attention to site boundaries, utilities, and phasing considerations that translate well to a greenfield park development like Alondra Park. 10 QK’S SCOPE
Land Use Planning Landscape Architecture
Public Outreach

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
QK worked with the City of Exeter to prepare a comprehensive Parks and Recreation Master Plan to guide the City’s park system and recreation programs over the next 15 years. The Master Plan established a clear vision, goals, and phased objectives for improving and maintaining parks, enhancing accessibility, and expanding recreational opportunities throughout the community. QK’s scope included compiling and analyzing base data, coordinating with City staff and the Exeter Unified School District, leading public engagement meetings, and developing exhibits, maps, and renderings to support the plan’s recommendations.

The Master Plan addressed priorities such as ADA compliance, safety improvements, efficient use of park space, maintenance needs, and identification of funding sources for future enhancements. As part of this effort, QK prepared a conceptual design for Exeter City Park, highlighting opportunities for upgraded amenities, improved circulation, and community gathering spaces, which can be seen on the following page. Through this collaboration, QK helped the City create a practical and forward-looking roadmap for sustainable, accessible, and vibrant parks and recreation facilities.

APPLICABILITY TO ALONDRA PARK PROJECT
QK’s work leading public engagement meetings, translating community feedback into design recommendations, and developing concept-level exhibits directly mirrors the three community engagement meetings central to the Alondra Park scope. Experience prioritizing ADA compliance, accessibility, and phased improvements within funding constraints rounds out the relevance to Project #26-RP0001.

Subject: Proposal for City of Bakersfield – Hershel Moore Park (Project #25RP0003) Dear Mr. Gonzalez:

We are honored and excited that QK has been given the opportunity to present the City of Bakersfield (City) with our proposal for comprehensive design services for the Hershel Moore Park Project (Project). Hershel Moore Park represents an opportunity to create a highly activated, inclusive neighborhood destination that reflects the needs of the surrounding community. The following represents our overall understanding, approach, and scope of services in response to the Request for Proposal issued for the Project.

With QK’s commitment to quality design and service to our clients, the City can be assured that Hershel Moore Park will be thoughtfully designed and delivered, resulting in a resilient, maintainable, and highly utilized community asset to serve the community for generations to come.

We welcome any questions or clarifications you may have regarding our proposal and are extremely excited about this opportunity to partner again with the City to deliver another lasting, recreational amenity to the Bakersfield community.

APPROACH
Our approach is guided by three core principles: (1) Community-driven design, (2) alignment with available and future funding strategies, and (3) long-term operability and maintenance efficiency. QK will provide community engagement services and coordinate in concert with the City to develop a community-focused neighborhood park based on residents’ feedback. As outlined in more detail in Tasks 1.3 and 1.4, we will design several Concept Plan park alternatives for review by the City staff and residents. Once changes are discussed and a Concept Plan alternative has been selected, QK will move into the design phase, preparing documents required to construct the park improvements. We recognize that community desires often exceed available funding; therefore, our process is structured to prioritize amenities, offer potential phasing strategies, and align design decisions within realistic budget parameters.

Based on the community engagement feedback, site constraints, and budget considerations, anticipated park elements may include, but are not limited to:
• Playground equipment areas for two–to five-year-olds and five–to 12-year-olds. • Fitness equipment area.
• ADA accessible concrete walkways.
• Looped stabilized decomposed granite trail.
• LED security light poles and bollards.
• Prefabricated restroom building (Future).

EXHIBIT B

APPLICABILITY TO HERSHEL MOORE PARK PROJECT
Kovacevich Park mirrors the Hershel Moore scope in several key ways: multi-amenity site design, phased PS&E deliverables, topographic surveying, and full bidding and construction support. QK’s experience navigating a grant-funded municipal park from concept through closeout demonstrates the fiscal accountability and phased delivery discipline (Preliminary through Construction) that Project #25RP0003 requires. Working within a fixed grant budget also sharpened QK’s approach to cost estimating and scope prioritization, skills directly applicable to a project where the City has noted construction timing may depend on funding availability.

QK’S SCOPE
Civil Engineering Land Use Planning
Landscape Architecture Public Outreach

Currently, Pop Warner football teams practice at MLK, and the City envisions the new park to be used for active recreation, including exercise equipment and a walking/ jogging path around the site. The Project consisted of developing a concept plan, construction plans, and bid documents for park improvements. QK produced improvement plans based on the City’s preferred concept selection, cost estimates, and specifications, and will provide bidding and construction support for the improvements.

APPLICABILITY TO HERSHEL MOORE PARK PROJECT
MLK Park Extension directly parallels the active recreation programming at the heart of Hershel Moore Park. QK’s experience designing fitness equipment areas and a walking/jogging path, both explicitly called out in the City’s anticipated park elements, demonstrates hands-on familiarity with the amenity types Bakersfield envisions for this site. The full PS&E delivery model, from concept selection through construction documents, specifications, cost estimates, and bidding support, reflects the same phased structure the City is requesting here. Coordinating design on a site adjacent to active multifamily construction also required careful attention to site boundaries, utilities, and phasing considerations that translate well to a greenfield park development like Hershel Moore.

APPLICABILITY TO HERSHEL MOORE PARK PROJECT
QK’s work leading public engagement meetings, translating community feedback into design recommendations, and developing concept-level exhibits directly mirrors the three community engagement meetings central to the Hershel Moore scope. Experience prioritizing ADA compliance, accessibility, and phased improvements within funding constraints rounds out the relevance to this project.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
MEETING DATE: April 22, 2026 AGENDA CATEGORY: Consent Calendar Public Hearing TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Randy McKeegan, Finance Director
DATE: April 8, 2026
SUBJECT: Public Hearing to Consider Resolution adopting fees pursuant to the cost recovery system and approving the Master Fee Schedule.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends adoption of the resolution.

BACKGROUND:

State law requires new fees, charges, and increases in existing fees and charges to be adopted by ordinance or resolution following a public hearing on said fees and charges. Chapter 3.70 of the Bakersfield Municipal Code (BMC) authorizes the establishment and increase of fees and charges by resolution for the City. In accordance with Chapter 3.70 of the BMC, the adoption of new and increased fees and charges is necessary for the City to recover the reasonable estimated cost of providing the services for which the fees are charged.

City staff completed a full review of the master fee schedule in May 2021. Supplementary updates of fees and language to the last fee schedule were approved in April 2023, April 2024, and April 2025 based on increases to the Consumer Price Index (CPI) those respective years. That same review based on CPI is being applied in the current year with additional fees detailed below.

The attached resolution along with Exhibit A represents the entire master fee schedule document to be authorized. The first column of numbers lists the current fees in place, and the second column or numbers are the proposed fees for the upcoming fiscal year.

Each department completed a full review of fees that included a thorough examination of the related time spent and materials used by staff. The majority of the fees increased based on changes in the consumer price index for the Los Angeles, Long Beach, & Anaheim region, which results in increases between 3% and 4%. This review also included updates to the administrative overhead rates which recover costs of supporting divisions within the City, which includes Technology Services, City Attorney, Finance, and Human Resources. This review was consistent with budget instructions, which requested that departments review their fees to verify full cost recovery. The council has historically supported fees at or near 100% cost recovery for most charges, except for some recreation and parks program activities.

Thes fees are subsidized by the General Fund, which has been the City’s continued practice for many years to benefit underserved communities that utilize those services.

The proposed fee schedule also includes fees updated for service needs and programs. This includes new activity for economic and community development, development services, fire protection services, recreation & parks, and water services. There are also updates to the schedule to include fees that were omitted from the document but should be added to have a more complete and accurate record of City Fees. Explanations for these additions are detailed below. Also included in the explanations below are fees that are increasing or decreasing by material amounts for reasons other than the change in fringe and overhead rates.

Economic and Community Development has added back and updated section B-41 since it was removed in error during the last review of the Master Fee Schedule.

The proposed changes were deemed necessary to align with rising operational costs, including salary adjustments per the current salary schedule and increased expenditures for program service and delivery.

The adjustment ensures financial stability while maintaining compliance with budgetary requirements.

Cultural Resource Review – Cultural Resource Review Fee – B-41-1 Economic & Community Development is requesting the reinstatement of the Cultural Resource Review Fee. The application fee for historic property owners to request consideration of their property as a cultural resource and added to the Bakersfield Register of Historic Places. The services provided is application review for eligibility per City Municipal Code and process for consideration and approval with two public hearings, one at Historic Preservation Commission and one at City Council, and recordation of the designation if approved. The service provides long term preservation of the property and reduces the impact of demolition or modifications that remove historic features.

Development Services has proposed changes to existing fees in the following sections: A-1, A-2, A-3, B-42 and F-103. The proposed changes to service center A1-3 were deemed necessary to mitigate fee increases driven by higher Building Valuation Data (BVD), the fees will be either held flat or reduced. The proposed changes to B-42 are deemed necessary to recoup the cost incurred by staff to process all fees associated with the County Clerk filing. The proposed changes to F-103 are deemed necessary to gradually increase to reach the full cost recovery amount over time.

Fire Prevention Services has proposed changes to existing fees in the following sections A-1, A-8, A-9, A10, B-23, B-25, B-27, B-28, B-37, B-40, and D-75. Fee increases are required to cover salary/operating expenses within the Fire Prevention Services Division.

Fire prevention is requesting the addition of a new fee for the above-mentioned sections. The Fire Department Growth Fee shall be imposed on new development and qualifying changes to existing development that increase demand for fire protection, emergency medical services, and related public safety infrastructure. The fee is intended to fund the expansion, enhancement and long-term sustainability of Fire Department facilities, apparatus, equipment, technology, and staffing necessary to maintain adopted response standards and service levels as the community grows. The growth fee shall be assessed for each individual dwelling unit or equivalent unit of development, including each dwelling unit within a multifamily or apartment complex, as defined in an adopted fee schedule. The fee shall be charged at the time of issuance of a building permit, certificate of occupancy, or other entitlement, approval, or inspection as determined by the City. The fees shall apply to new construction, additions, or changes of use that result in increased fire service demand.

State-Mandated Fire Inspection – Fire Inspection – 1-25 Units – A-8-2 Fire prevention is requesting the addition of a new fee for 1-25 Units. This new fee covers the cost of all inspections including plan review time frame and office staff time to process permits.

State-Mandated Fire Inspection – Fire Inspection – 26-50 Units – A-8-2 Fire prevention is requesting the addition of a new fee for 26-50 Units. This new fee covers the cost of all inspections including plan review time frame and office staff time to process permits.

State-Mandated Fire Inspection – Fire Inspection – 51-100 Units – A-8-2 Fire prevention is requesting the addition of a new fee for 51-100 Units. This new fee covers the cost of all inspections including plan review time frame and office staff time to process permits.

Fire Service Fees – Lift Assist Fee – D-75-5
Fire prevention is requesting the addition of a new fee for Fire Services Fees. The lift assist fee shall be assessed for responses to facilities that are required by federal, state, or local law, regulation, license, or permit to maintain on-site staffing for the care, supervision, or assistance of occupants. The fee applies when Fire Department personnel are requested or utilized to assist in the lifting, repositioning, or movement of an occupant, and the request is not associated with a medical emergency requiring emergency medical treatment or transport. The fee is intended to recover a portion of the costs incurred by the Fire Department for personnel, apparatus, equipment usage, and unit availability, and shall not be construed as a substitute for required facility staffing, training, or equipment. Assessment of the fee does not relieve the facility of its obligation to comply with all applicable care, staffing, and safety requirements under law.

Recreation and Parks Services has proposed changes to existing fees in the following sections E-82, E-83, E-84, and E-88. All requested changes come from comprehensive research and surveys of similar fees, services and facilities in surrounding municipalities, the proposed changes reflect the current industry standards.

Park Facility Rental – Park Amenities – Tournaments (per day) – Jastro Park -Pickleball Tournament – E82-10 Recreation and Parks services is requesting the addition of a new fee for Jastro Park – Pickleball Tournament. This new fee is based on a comprehensive fee survey of similar facilities in surrounding municipalities; the proposed rate is reflective of current industry standards.

Park Facility Rental – Park Amenities – Tournaments (per day) – Beale Park -Pickleball Tournament – E82-10 Recreation and Parks services is requesting the addition of a new fee for Beale Park – Pickleball Tournament. This new fee is based on a comprehensive fee survey of similar facilities in surrounding municipalities; the proposed rate is reflective of current industry standards.

Water Resource Services has proposed changes to existing fees in section F-91. All requested changes are based on comprehensive full cost recalculation. A full cost recalculation had not been done since 2017, and the cost of labor and materials has drastically changed over the years.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of the resolution and the Master Fee Schedule will allow the departments that provide services for the city to recover costs for those various services. Significant Impact to the General Fund if the Fee Schedule is not updated to recover the costs.

Building Permits 54%
All construction (including: new, additional, alteration, remodel, repair, and other construction) for both
residential and commercial construction permit
processing, services, and inspection fees are calculated as follows: Two general methods are used to calculate
fees in service centers A1, A2, A3, and A4. The use of a flat fee and the use of the estimated regional market
value of the proposed construction multiplied by a "fee factor." These methods represent the estimated cost of
providing all plan review and various inspection fees
required for the project. Valuation data is based upon the February 2026 building valuation data (BVD). Alterations & Remodels will be valued at $82 per square foot or by an official contract approved by the Building Director. The revenue generated from this is then spread to the various costs center as follows: 54% N/A 0.00%
Plan Check Fees 46% 46% N/A 0.00%
A-1 Residential Construction - New, Additions, Alterations, Remodel or Repair Fees in cost center are cumulative based on the
construction value of the proposed permitted work and
