technical rules of evidence shall not apply during the
arbitration hearing.
c) The arbitrator shall be strictly bound by the time limits set forth in the grievance procedure and shall not
entertain any grievance in which the grievant has not
adhered to such time limits.
d) Employees called as witnesses shall be scheduled to
be released from duty to testify at the hearings. The

In order to do so, the grievant must submit the grievance to the Personnel Officer, along with a written request that the grievance be considered at the Third Level, within fifteen (15) days of the date the Department Head’s decision is rendered, or should have been rendered, pursuant to the specified time period.

The grievant may waive the right to go to advisory arbitration and instead go directly to the Fourth Level (City Manager).

advance to the Fourth Level.
2) The Personnel Officer and the grievant shall request a list of five arbitrators from the California State Mediation and Conciliation Service.

arbitrator from the California State Conciliation Service list by eliminating names until one name remains. The

numbered consecutively tor the current fiscal year. The odd-numbered grievances will give the grievant first
elimination; the even-numbered grievances will give
the City first elimination.
b) Once the arbitrator has been selected, hearings shall commence at the convenience of the arbitrator. The
technical rules of evidence shall not apply during the
arbitration hearing.
c) The arbitrator shall be strictly bound by the time limits set forth in the grievance procedure and shall not
entertain any grievance in which the grievant has not
adhered to such time limits.
d) Employees called as witnesses shall be scheduled to
be released from duty to testify at the hearings. The
parties recognize that due to the essential nature of the services performed by the employees, scheduling of
time for each employee to testify at arbitration shall be in such a manner so that normal operations are not
disrupted.
e) The jurisdiction of the arbitrator shall be confined to a determination of the facts and the interpretation of the provisions of the Memorandum of Understanding and /
or the Personnel Rules and Regulations. The arbitrator
will have no power to add to, subtract from, or modify
the terms of any Agreement or the written policies,
rules, regulations and procedures of the employer.
f) Within thirty (30) days after the conclusion of the
hearing, the arbitrator shall render an advisory decision in writing to the parties (including the City Manager). g) The arbitrator’s fees and expenses shall be paid by the City. All other costs shall be borne by the party

i. The grievant is entitled to representation of their choice at any point in the grievance procedure.
ii. Failure by the grievant to meet any of the specified timelines shall constitute a withdrawal and waiver of the grievance. Failure by the City to meet any of the specified timelines shall entitle the grievant to appeal to the next level of review.
iii. Since it is important that grievances be processed as rapidly as possible, the number of days indicated at each level shall be considered as maximum, and every effort should be made to expedite the process.

AGENDA ITEM
AGENDA MATTER:

APPROVAL OF A LEASE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF BARSTOW AND THE COUNTY OF

SAN BERNARDINO FOR OFFICE SPACE AT THE HARVEY HOUSE
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The proposed Fifth Amendment to Lease Agreement extends the County of San Bernardino's lease of approximately 217 square feet of office space in Suite 212 of the Harvey House for one additional year, from September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027. The amendment continues monthly rent at $566.80, provides the County one additional five-year option to extend the lease through August 31, 2032, with scheduled annual rent increases. Approval of the amendment will provide the City with $6,801.60 in rental revenue during the one-year initial extension period.

DISCUSSION:

Since 2017, San Bernardino County has leased Suite 212 within the Harvey House for County operations. The current lease expires August 31, 2026. The proposed Fifth Amendment extends the existing one-year term through August 31, 2027, while adding a new five-year extension option that the County may exercise. Monthly base rent during the extension period will remain $566.80, with predetermined annual increases if the five-year option is exercised.

The amendment also updates several operational provisions to reflect current County lease standards, including maintenance responsibilities, holdover procedures, mutual indemnification, and environmental liability.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of the Fifth Amendment will generate $6,801.60 in lease revenue during the one-year extension period (September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027). If the County exercises the optional five-year extension, the City is estimated to receive an additional $36,120 in lease revenue, for a total potential revenue of $42,921.60 through August 31, 2032
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Approve the Lease Agreement between the City of Barstow and the County of San Bernardino for office space located in Suite 212 of the Harvey House, 681 North First Street, and authorize the City Manager, or her designee, to execute the agreement and any related documents 10 Packet Pg. 132

AGENDA MATTER:

REJECTION OF INFORMAL BIDS FOR CENTENNIAL PARK LANDSCAPE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT CITY OF BARSTOW PROJECT # BGRD-26-0038
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Staff recommends rejecting all bids and rebidding the project as an informal contract due to the following circumstances.

The contractor awarded the contract has asserted relief under state law, citing a clerical error in their original bid. Public Contract Code section 5103 permits bidders to withdraw due to clerical errors if they notify the agency within five business days of bid submission.

The contractor awarded the Centennial Park Landscape Improvement Project contract by Council on July 21, 2026, notified the City within five days of a clerical error and has withdrawn their bid in accordance with state law. Therefore, it is appropriate to reject all bids and reissue an informal bid process for the Project.

DISCUSSION:

Centennial Park is located in downtown Barstow at the intersection of 1st Avenue and Route 66 (East Main Street). The Centennial Park Landscape Improvement Project aims to revitalize the park by improving functionality, accessibility, and appearance, while ensuring a safe and welcoming environment for all. Project elements include ADA-compliant pathways, shade canopies, new seating, decorative retaining walls and planters, updated landscaping and irrigation, and a new monument sign at the park’s center.

On July 15, 2026, three bids for the Centennial Park Landscape Improvement Project were received by the submission deadline. The lowest bid was deemed non-responsive due to missing required documentation. Staff recommended awarding the contract to the next-lowest bidder, Kormex Construction, Inc., who met all contract requirements. On July 21, 2026, the City Council awarded the project to Kormex Construction, Inc., for $197,436.

On July 23, 2026, Kormex Construction notified the City of a clerical error in their bid and withdrew, stating the corrected total was $277,036. Under Public Contract Code 5103, relief for such errors is not waived by contract award within the five-day period for error notification. Therefore, the Kormex bid cannot be executed. The revised Kormex bid and the third bid both exceed the $220,000 maximum for the informal bid process under the City’s Contract and Purchasing Policy.

Staff requests that the City Council reject all bids received on July 15, 2026, and direct staff to readvertise the informal bid for the project. A bidder asserting a clerical error may not participate in the rebid. (Public Contract Code sec. 5105.)
Staff recommends the City Council reject all informal bids and direct staff to re-advertise the project.

Although the timeline is compressed, there is sufficient time to re-notice and award the contract.

• PulsePoint (Public Safety Alerting System, Certified CPR Responder, AED Locations) • Minimum Daily Staffing (Per 12-Hour Shift):

Dispatch Supervisors (2)
Fire Dispatcher (8)
Dispatch Call Takers (3)
Dispatch Fire Battalion Chiefs (2)

This comprehensive communications and dispatch system is designed to enhance operational readiness, reduce response times, and improve public safety outcomes. With strong technological integration, skilled staffing, and infrastructure investments, the region is well-positioned to handle both routine emergencies and large-scale incidents effectively.

An agreement with CONFIRE also enables a more efficient, expedited response by the City of Barstow Police Department. As a result, reducing the workload obligation of Police Dispatchers allows for a focused approach to Law Enforcement Dispatch within the City of Barstow. There is no recommendation to reduce staffing for Police Dispatch.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The Fiscal Impact is estimated to be approximately $450,000 annually; there is no funding source identified and this would need to be appropriated.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

It is recommended that the Fire Board:

1. Authorize the Fire District Administrator/City Manager, or their designee, to negotiate a contract with the Consolidated Fire Agencies (CONFIRE) Joint Powers Authority on behalf of the Barstow Fire Protection District for emergency dispatch, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and the Emergency Communication Nurse System; and
