U
nfortunately, t he cost proposals for providing the Crossing Guard Services has dramatically increased due to the State of California Minimum Wage increases and other inflationary increases to the costs of operations. These costs were apparently the primary reason American Guard Services who has been providing service s ince June 2017 elected not to submit a bid in response to the RFP.
The
below chart illustrates the hourly rates and estimates yearly costs submitted by the f our bidding companies. As reference the current hourly rate and estimated annual cost by American Guard Services is included on line five:
The pr
oposals Billing Rates of the RFP bidders are listed for reference:
Ranking Vendor Name Fiscal Yr. Hourly Rate Est. Annual Cost 1 World Private Security, Inc. 2022/2023 $29.75 $220,893.75 2 All City Management Services, Inc. 2022/2023 $49.90 $370,507.50 3 Arya Security Services 2022/2023 $25.42/$29.71
($27.56) $204,670.12
4 Everything Parking, Inc. 2022/2023 $43.95 $326,328.75 Reference American Guard Services $26.25 x 206.25
Past Year Vendor 2021/2022 x 36 weeks = $194,906.00
Although, the two most responsive and qualified bidders for crossing guard services, each had billing rates above Arya Security Services, the information contained in the proposals submitted clearly showed that World Private Security, Inc. w as the most responsive to the overall RFP process criteria. Unfortunately, the service rate proposed by World Private Security, Inc., will be higher than the current budgeted amount for crossing guard services, in the 2021/2022 budget.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The c
osts for services are approximately $65,893.75 more than the budgeted amount of $155,000.00 in FY 2022- 2023 Police Department budget. Thus, staff is requesting a budget transfer of $65,893.75 from the General Fund Reserves to the Police Department Budget under professional services. For a total contract amount not to exceed $220,893.75.
CONCLUSION:
B
ased on the criteria mentioned above and the overall proposal information submitted, Staff recommends that the City Council approve a new Crossing Guard Services agreement with World Private Security, Inc. for three (3) years, with two (2) one- year extension option at the proposed hourly billing rate of $29.75 per hour.

Consultant agrees to ensure that its subconsultants, subcontractors, and any other party involved with the project who is brought onto or involved in the project by Consultant, provide the same minimum insurance coverage and endorsements required of Consultant. Consultant agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section. Consultant agrees that upon request, all agreements with consultants, subcontractors, and others engaged in the project will be submitted to City for review. (n) Agency’s right to revise specifications. The City reserves the right at any time during the term of the contract to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the Consultant ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change.

However, this right to review any such response does not imply or mean the right by City to control, direct, or rewrite said response.
ARTICLE 7. ENFORCEMENT OF AGREEMENT AND TERMINATION
7.1 California Law.
This Agreement shall be interpreted, construed and governed both as to validity and to performance of the parties in accordance with the laws of the State of California. Legal actions concerning any dispute, claim or matter arising out of or in relation to this Agreement shall be instituted in the Superior Court of the County of Los Angeles, State of California, or any other appropriate court in such county, and Consultant covenants and agrees to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such court in the event of such action. In the event of litigation in a U.S. District Court, venue shall lie exclusively in the Central District of California, in the County of Los Angeles, State of California.
7.2 Disputes; Default.
In the event that Consultant is in default under the terms of this Agreement, the City shall not have any obligation or duty to continue compensating Consultant for any work performed
01135.0010/808415.3 14
after the date of default. Instead, the City may give notice to Consultant of the default and the reasons for the default. The notice shall include the timeframe in which Consultant may cure the default. This timeframe is presumptively thirty (30) days, but may be extended, though not reduced, if circumstances warrant. During the period of time that Consultant is in default, the City shall hold all invoices and shall, when the default is cured, pro ceed with payment on the invoices. In the alternative, the City may, in its sole discretion, elect to pay some or all of the outstanding invoices during the period of default. If Consultant does not cure the default, the City may take necessary steps to terminate this Agreement under this Article. Any failure on the part of the City to give notice of the Consultant’s default shall not be deemed to result in a waiver of the City’s legal rights or any rights arising out of any provision of this Agreement.
7.3 Retention of Funds.
Consultant hereby authorizes City to deduct from any amount payable to Consultant (whether or not arising out of this Agreement) (i) any amounts the payment of which may be in dispute hereunder or which are necessary to compensate City for any losses, costs, liabilities, or damages suffered by City, and (ii) all amounts for which City may be liable to third parties, by reason of Consultant’s acts or omissions in performing or failing to perform Consultant’s obligation under this Agreement. In the event that any claim is made by a third party, the amount or validity of which is disputed by Consultant, or any indebtedness shall exist which shall appear to be the basis for a claim of lien, City may withhold from any payment due, without liability for interest because of such withholding, an amount sufficient to cover such claim. The failure of City to exercise such right to deduct or to withhold shall not, however, affect the obligations of the Consultant to insure, indemnify, and protect City as elsewhere provided herein.
7.4 Waiver.
Waiver by any party to this Agreement of any term, condition, or covenant of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other term, condition, or covenant. Waiver by any party of any breach of the provisions of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other provision or a waiver of any subsequent breach or violation of any provision of this Agreement.
Acceptance by City of any work or services by Consultant shall not constitute a waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy by a non-defaulting party on any default shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver. Any waiver by either party of any default must be in writing and shall not be a waiver of any other default concerning the same or any other provision of this Agreement.
7.5 Rights and Remedies are Cumulative.
Except with respect to rights and remedies expressly declared to be exclusive in this Agreement, the rights and remedies of the parties are cumulative and the exercise by either party of one or more of such rights or remedies shall not preclude the exercise by it, at the same or different times, of any other rights or remedies for the same default or any other default by the other party.
01135.0010/808415.3 15
7.6 Legal Action.
In addition to any other rights or remedies, either party may take legal action, in law or in equity, to cure, correct or remedy any default, to recover damages for any default, to compel specific performance of this Agreement, to obtain declaratory or injunctive relief, or to obtain any other remedy consistent with the purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, Consultant shall file a statutory claim pursuant to Government Code Sections 905 et seq. and 910 et seq., in order to pursue a legal action under this Agreement.
7.7 Termination Prior to Expiration of Term.
This Section shall govern any termination of this Contract except as specifically provided in the following Section for termination for cause. The City reserves the right to terminate this Contract at any time, with or without cause, upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to Consultant, except that where termination is due to the fault of the Consultant, the period of notice may be such shorter time as may be determined by the Contract Officer. In addition, the Consultant reserves the right to terminate this Contract at any time, with or without cause, upon sixty (60) days’ written notice to City, except that where termination is due to the fault of the City, the period of notice may be such shorter time as the Consultant may determine. Upon receipt of any notice of termination, Consultant shall immediately cease all services hereunder except such as may be specifically approved by the Contract Officer. Except where the Consultant has initiated termination, the Consultant shall be entitled to compensation for all services rendered prior to the effective date of the notice of termination and for any services authorized by the Contract Officer thereafter in accordance with the Schedule of Compensation or such as may be approved by the Contract Officer, except as provided in Section 7.3. In the event the Consultant has initiated termination, the Consultant shall be entitled to compensation only for the reasonable value of the work product actually produced hereunder. In the event of termination without cause pursuant to this Section, the terminating party need not provide the non-terminating party with the opportunity to cure pursuant to Section 7.2.
7.8 Termination for Default of Consultant.
If termination is due to the failure of the Consultant to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, City may, after compliance with the provisions of Section 7.2, take over the work and prosecute the same to completion by contract or otherwise, and the Consultant shall be liable to the extent that the total cost for completion of the services required hereunder exceeds the compensation herein stipulated (provided that the City shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate such damages), and City may withhold any payments to the Consultant for the purpose of set-off or partial payment of the amounts owed the City as previously stated.
7.9 Attorneys’ Fees.
If either party to this Agreement is required to initiate or defend or made a party to any action or proceeding in any way connected with this Agreement, the prevailing party in such action or proceeding, in addition to any other relief which may be granted, whether legal or equitable, shall be entitled to reasonable attorney’s fees. Attorney’s fees shall include attorney’s fees on any appeal, and in addition a party entitled to attorney’s fees shall be entitled to all other
01135.0010/808415.3 16
reasonable costs for investigating such action, taking depositions and discovery and all other necessary costs the court allows which are incurred in such litigation. All such fees shall be deemed to have accrued on commencement of such action and shall be enforceable whether or not such action is prosecuted to judgment.
ARTICLE 8. CITY OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES: NON-DISCRIMINATION
8.1 Non-liability of City Officers and Employees.
No officer or employee of the City shall be personally liable to the Consultant, or any successor in interest, in the event of any default or breach by the City or for any amount which may become due to the Consultant or to its successor, or for breach of any obligation of the terms of this Agreement.
8.2 Conflict of Interest.
Consultant covenants that neither it, nor any officer or principal of its firm, has or shall acquire any interest, directly or indirectly, which would conflict in any manner with the interests of City or which would in any way hinder Consultant’s performance of services under this Agreement. Consultant further covenants that in the performance of this Agreement, no person having any such interest shall be employed by it as an officer, employee, agent or subcontractor without the express written consent of the Contract Officer. Consultant agrees to at all times avoid conflicts of interest or the appearance of any conflicts of interest with the interests of City in the performance of this Agreement.

01135.0010/808415.3 17

The hiring manager will then send an email authorizing Human Resources to charge the cost of the background investigation to the appropriate office of the vice president.
1. Position advertisements (postings) will contain notification to applicants that, prior to hiring, the final candidate must successfully pass a pre- employment background investigation.
2. After checking references, the hiring manager will identify the preferred candidate(s), make an offer to the candidate, and indicate “Pending Background Check” in the Application tracking system.
3. A Human Resources Representative will confirm that a Disclosure and Consent to background check was signed by the selected candidate.
4. When Disclosure and Consent to background check forms are received, Human Resources will input the candidate’s required information in the vendor website. Data will be sent electronically to the vendor to perform the background investigation.
5. Background verifications will be completed by the vendor and the results sent electronically to Human Resources.
6. If the background in vestigation is satisfactory, Human Resources will indicate “Background Check Approved” in Application tracking system. This status change
21 will trigger an e-mail to be sent to the hiring manager confirming that the candidate has passed the pre-employment background investigation.
7. Hiring manager will change applicant status to "Offered Job, Accepted Offer" and proceed with hiring process in Application tracking system.
8. If the background check reveals an unsatisfactory finding relevant to the position, the individual may be disqualified from holding the position. In making such a decision, Human Resources along with the hiring manager/chair and the divisional vice president will consider the nature of the finding, the job for which the applicant is being considered, when the event occurred and the applicant’s conduct, performance and/or rehabilitation efforts since. When appropriate, outside counsel and other relevant experts will be consulted. If the possibility of adverse action exists, Human Resources will provide a Pre- Adverse Action Notice along with a copy of the report and a notice of rights to the candidate.
The candidate has a period of 7 calendar days to repute disputed information with the vendor. If the candidate fails to contact World Private Security, Inc. in a timely manner to indicate that the matter has been resolved, the hiring manager may proceed with the hiring process and select another candidate.
If the decision is made not to hire the candidate, a Final Adverse Action Notice is mailed via certified mail to the candidate by Human Resources explaining the reason for not hiring, along with an additional copy of the background report, the contact information of the vendor, and a statement that this agency did not take the adverse action and cannot explain why it was made.
All information received in the background investigation process will be maintained by Human Resources in confidential, secure files, separate from employee personnel files, with access allowed only to those who have a need to know.

Statement of Policy
World Priva te Security, Inc. has a responsibility to provide a safe and productive work environment for all of our employees. World Private Security, Inc. has a particular concern about drug and alcohol abuse, since these can have a serious effect on an employee's productivity and job performance and may jeopardize the safety of the client, employee, and his/her co-workers.
NOTE: In this Policy, the term "Substance Abuse" will be used to mean the use or abuse of or dependence on illegal drugs, alcohol or drugs that can be prescribed legally, but are used in a manner inconsistent with the prescription.
Therefore World Private Security, Inc. does not accept the following behavior by our employees:
• Current use of illicit drugs
• Abuse of legal prescription or over-the-counter drugs or alcohol • Sale, purchase, transfer, use or possession of illegal drugs or prescription drugs obtained illegally.
• Arrival for work under the influence of illegal drugs or alcohol.
Employees will be subject to urine testing or drug and alcohol testing where reasonable suspicion exists that an employee or employees are under the influence of drugs and alcohol.
In addition, safety-sensitive positions are subject to random urine testing.
All employees, including Supervisors and Managers, performing safety -sensitive functions are required to participate in the Company Training Program, and will receive on the effects and consequences of prohibited drug use; on personal health, safety, and the work environment, and the signs and symptoms which may indicate prohibited drug use. The Medical Requirements Officer will conduct all required training quarterly.
PARTICIPATION AS A REQUIREMENT OF EMPLOYMENT
World Private Security, Inc. expects its employees to report for work fit for duty with NO illegal drugs in their bodies. Violation of this Policy can result in sanctions against the employee up to and including termination of employment.
All individuals must pass a drug test for the employer prior to employment or assignment in a safety -sensitive function, including employees who are promoted or transferred from a non-covered to a safety-sensitive position.
23 Any employee with an illegal drug in his/her body who becomes involved in any incident affecting person or property while on duty, or on World Private Security, Inc.’s property is subject to immediate Termination.
If existing employees are having work performance problems, display abnormal behavior that may be drug related, or otherwise demonstrate conduct that may be in violation of this Policy where immediate supervisory action is necessary, a Supervisor will follow these steps:
1. Confront the employee privately, stating his/her suspicions and ask for an explanation.
2. If suspected contraband is involved and the Supervisor is not satisfied with the explanation, the contraband will be confiscated and a receipt will be issued. (If the employee claims that pills suspected of being contraband are prescription drugs, only a single pill will be confiscated for testing.)
3. If the employee seems to be "Under the Influence", the Supervisor will escort the employee to the medical facility for a urine test. Non- cooperation will result in termination of employment. If appropriate, the authorities are to be notified that a terminated ex-employee is leaving the premises.
4. The Supervisor will then identify witnesses and prepare a detailed written statement describing his/her observations, what was said, materials seized and any other facts.
All conclusions (e.g., employee appeared to be under the influence of something; employee was insubordinate, etc.) should be supported by facts (e.g., speech was slurred, eyes did not focus, concentration wandered, employee said or did certain things, etc.). Witnesses are to be listed for future reference.
5. The Supervisor must advise the most senior manager on the premises of the incident.
Employees refusing to comply with the provisions listed above will be assumed to have voluntarily quit and will be treated accordingly. There will be no exceptions to this Policy.

recommended that the City Council r ead by title only, waive further reading and adopt Resolution No. 2022-46 titled:
A RESO
LUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BELL
ADOPTING THE CITY OF BELL LOCAL ROAD SAFETY PLAN
2022
BACKGROUND:
Effec
tive 2021, the Federal Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) requires any agency applying for a HSIP grant to have an adopted Local Road Safety Plan (LRSP).
The main obj
ective of the LRSP is to systemically analyze and identify safety problems and develop recommendations for safety improvements. The Plan reviews crash history on an aggregate basis to identify high-risk roadway characteristics and prioritize safety improvement countermeasures.
The City
’s draft LRSP has been prepared in accordance with all California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) requirements. The results of the evaluation will identify safety projects within the city that can be used to apply for fut ure funding consideration through the HSIP and other safety program applications.
DISCUSSION:
The City
’s draft Local Road Safety Plan includes six (6) years of crash data from UC Berkeley’s Transportation Injury Mapping System (TIMS), California Highway Patrol’s Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS), law enforcement crash reports, and City’s crash database. A comprehensive collision analysis of the City’s roadway network and the crash data included:
• Identif
ying high- collision corridors and intersections to pinpoint causes of collisions, AGENDA ITEM 4
including highest occurring crash types and injury severity, and
• Evaluating results of crash data and roadway analysis to identify collision patterns and common collision types, and
• Compiling a list of top high-risk corridors and top intersections with high collision rates.
The draft LRSP is a collaboration of Engineering, Public Works, Community Development, Public Safety, Code Enforcement and Emergency Services . The Plan will be presented to the School District at the next City/School District quarterly meeting in September.
Four safety projects were identified in the LRSP:
1. Stop Controlled Intersection Upgrade (12 intersections)
2. Florence Avenue Corridor Project (raised medians)
3. Traffic Signal Improvement Project (upgrade signal hardware)
4. Citywide Pedestrian Set-Aside (enhanced pedestrian crossings with flashing beacons
FISCAL IMPACT:
The city applied for, and was approved for a Caltrans $72,000 Local Road Safety Plan grant to prepare the Local Road Safety Plan. The City committed $8,000 of Measure M funds as the local match.
There is no fiscal impact associated with the adoption of this resolution.

I- Introduction
I- Introduction
The City of Bell LRSP1 provides a conceptual framework to identify, analyze, and prioritize roadway safety improvements on local roads. Particularly, it provides the opportunity to proactively correct high collision or problem locations and prevent local road fatalities and injuries. It establishes g oals, objectives, and emphasis areas. Furthermore, it helps identify appropriate funding sources to reach the City’s safety-related visions and goals.
Beginning in 2021, the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) required agencies to have ado pted an LRSP. The LRSP is necessary to apply for the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) funding which is a common source of safety project support from the State and Federal governments. The City was awarded $72,000 in grant funding to prepare this very LRSP which has been prepared in accordance with all Caltrans and Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) requirements.
1 Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP) is a data-driven traffic safety plan specifically tailored to a jurisdiction.
I- Introduction
Overview of the Process
The City of Bell prepared this LRSP as part of the C ity’s commitment and priority to improving traffic safety for all users throughout the C ity. The LRSP is a framework for identifying collision trends and recognizing projects and funding sources that can be used to reduce collisions on the local road network. LRSP’s goal is to reduce fatalities on local roads in states, counties, and cities that implement them. The C ity’s LRSP includes the elements depicted below:

Data Analysis Methodology
4 5
The quantitative analysis is the process of compiling and studying collision records.
SWITRS and TIMS are very common and reliable sources for collision records. Using this data, we can identify which locations have the greatest number of collisions, the most severe collisions, the collisions with the most injuries, and that have a significant number of certain types of collisions. We also look specifically at collision data invol ving pedestrians and bicyclists to see if any patterns are prevalent. As the data is being reviewed, we consider which mitigations, countermeasures, or strategies can be used to reduce the likelihood of collisions. We are then able to identify types of loc ations where collisions in the future are likely to occur and sort them into different projects. Each project employs mitigations specific to those locations. As we identify locations, we share our findings with the Task Force.
4 Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS) . SWITRS provides crash data from police or sheriff reports with details including date, time of day, location, number of cars, type of crash, lighting conditions, collision factors, injuries, and injury severity. 5 University of California Berkley’s Transportation Mapping System (TIMS) TIMS uses data from SWITRS to generate interactive maps t hat provide a better perspective where crashes are occurring. TIMS also eliminates non-injury crashes from its data.
6-year crash history data from
January 1, 2016 to December 31,
2021 obtained from SWITRS4 and
TIMS5.
Crash history analyzed to identify
trends:
• Locations with high-frequency
and high-severity crashes
• Bike and pedestrian crash trends
• Trends associated with other
crash types that can be mitigated

I- Introduction
The qualitative analysis considers existing conditions on the roadways and insight and input from the Task Force for identifying other factors that might not be understood from the data. There are also in person field checks and observations. Projects are then refined to emphasize safety and accessibility for all.
Both the quantitative analysis and qualitative analysis are used to develop data -driven safety projects that the Task Force will support.

T- Citywide Collision Trends & Potential Solutions
The 6-year collision data was filtered to include only collisions that took place on roadways maintained and operated by the City of Bell. Collisions that took place on private property, roadways operated by Los Angeles County, or highways and roadways operated by the State of California were excluded. The data was studied to identify locations that had a significant number of collisions, injury collisions, and instances of specific type s of collisions. Data was collected using SWITRS and TIMS. Locations with many collisions, locations with high severity collisions, or both can be difficult to spot when simply studying data. To better locate them, a heat map was developed and can be found on th e inside cover of this repor t (Page i). Also, collisions involving bicyclists and pedestrians were isolated to determine if any prevailing patterns could be identified.
When considering all the data , it is important to identify overall trends. Figure T-F1 illustrates the proportion of collisions based on the different severity categories. Severity is a significant factor when applying for project funding , in particular collisions involving injuries. There were 1,577 collisions reported in the City between 2016 and 2021. Nearly 50% of the collisions were without injury. The combined fatal and severe injury collisions made up less than 5% of the total collisions reported.

Collisions were also studied based on the different collision types. Figure T-F2 demonstrates that rear end, broadside, and sideswipe were the most common and accounted for approximately 75% of the reported collisions. The collision type breakdown allows for a further understanding of emerging trends in the overall data. Table T-T1 describes appropriate mitigations for the 3 most common types of collisions.

Table T-T2: Mitigations Based on Primary Collision Factor
One of the mitigations for the primary collision factor of unsafe speed listed above is installing advanced dilemma zone detection and replacing existing signs with high visibility signs, as well as installing new ones as needed. In 2019, a Citywide project was implemented that replaced all existing signs with ones with higher visibility. Larger and additional signs can be installed at locations where it is most effective and appropriate.
Furthermore, care should be taken to avoid excessive use of signs. Using too many signs can cause signs to lose effectiveness and create confusion. Additionally, the Task Force recommended installing permanent speed feedback signs at and approaching intersections as a mitigation for unsafe speed.
The overall collision data was lastly organized based on what the motor vehicle was involved with in the collision, shown in Figure T-F4. The top categories are other motor vehicles, fixed object, and parked motor vehicle. The non -collision category is often ambiguous but can r efer to an overturned vehicle, a motorist cited for driving under the influence, or a vehicle that went off the road but did not specifically collide with another object. The other object category can refer to an object that is obstructing the roadway due to inclement weather such as a tree, or an object that fell from another motor vehicle such as furniture being moved.

Building on the overall collision analysis for 2016 -2021, specific locations were studied.
Table T-T3 lists the intersections with the highest number of collisions. Intersection collisions that were considered include those occurring either at or within 50 feet of the intersection. Then the intersections were sorted by the sum of the weighted collision severity. Most of the intersections have a high ADT6. The high weighted collision severity coupled with the low number of collisions indicates that the injur ies were of a greater severity.

Common collision types that occur at intersections are broadside and rear end. Primary collision factors that can lead to those collision types are automobile right of way and traffic signals and signs. Short-term mitigations that can be used to reduce these collision types and factors include install/upgrade high visibility warning signs , upgrading traffic signal hardware, and installing advanced dilemma zone detection. Long term mitigations include install right turn lanes and protected left-turns. Several intersections were not able to be incorporated into the proposed projects listed in the Forward. Nonetheless, they are being kept in consideration as new funding opportunities and other projects develo p.
During discussions with the Task Force, the intersection of Florence Avenue and Walker Avenue, the second on the above list, was identified as a location where unsafe speeds

were often observed, especially from westbound direction. The City will look to reduce speeds at this location through improving traffic control at the intersection. Improving the safety at all intersections throughout the City will continue to be a priority.
Table T-T4 lists the collisions occurring along corridors within the C ity. Corridors are defined as major roadways that span the lengths of the City . The collisions considered occurred more than 50 feet away from major intersections. These corridors were sorted by the sum of the weighted collision severity.

Short-term mitigations that can be used to reduce these collision types and factors include install high visibility centerline and edge line striping, install/upgrade high visibility warning signs, install high visibility object markers, and increasing speed limit enforcement. Long term mitigations include widen roadway shoulders and install guardrails.
Citywide Transportation Plans
T- Citywide Collision Trends & Potential Solutions
The LRSP goal is to implement safe transportation projects and programs. It can be used alongside these Citywide guidelines and plans , which were considered and referenced while developing this LRSP.
Table T-T5: Citywide Transportation Guidelines & Plans
City of Bell General Plan, 2010
Los Angeles County Standards, 2000
Bell Bicycle Master Plan, 2016
Urban Land Institute City of Bell LA River Activation Plan, 2020 City of Bell Engineering and Traffic Report, 2017
State and Federal Funding Sources
The State provides several transportation funding opportunities. Additionally, the Federal government provides funding opportunities which are then managed by the State. The funding is intended for roadway maintenance, safety improvements, environmental improvements, and enhancements which make the roadway accessible to all . These elements can be the emphasis of some of the funding sources. All the sources identified in Table T -T6 favor safety projects with a systemic approach, where the similar enhancements are made at multiple locations.
Table T-T6: Funding Sources
Name Description
HSIP
The Highway Safety Improvement Program is a federal funding that is managed by each state. It provides funding for agencies and municipalities through an application process. As its name implies , this program is intended to provide funding to improve and enhance roadway safety. Applications are prioritized based on thei r benefit cost ratio, calculated from the collisions in the project area and the collision reduction factor. The most recent application period was in 2020, and another period is expected to occur in 2022.
T- Citywide Collision Trends & Potential Solutions
Additional County sources that can provide funding are Measure M and Measure R.
These measures use a percentage from local sales tax to go towards transportation improvements. The measures are specific to Los Angeles County and coordinated through Metro. However, the focus of the LRSP is to identify potential safety projects that could receive funding directly from the State and/or Federal Government.
OTS
The California Office of Traffic Safety offers state funding opportunities geared towards programs which emphasize safety, active
transportation, safety monitoring by the police department, and safety education. It provides funding for agencies and municipalities through an annual application process. OTS funding does not fund infrastructure projects but can provide funding for safety education programs.
Urban
Greening
The Urban Greening Grant offers state funding for projects geared towards active transportation and projects that promote environmentally friendly initiatives to lower greenhouse gas emissions . Urban greening grants are funded through an application process. These applications are highly competitive, but can provide funding for landscaped medians, bikeways, and sidewalks.
SB1
The California State Senate Bill 1 is a state funding program that allows agencies and municipalities to allocate tax revenue for roadway improvement projects which is approved by voters through ballot measures. SB1 funding requires a local match.
OPR
The State of California Governor’s Office of Planning and Research provides funding for opportunities that highlight active transportation and safety, like planning grants for Safe Routes to School projects.
P- Project Scopes
P- Project Scopes
A list of potential project locations was developed considering the intersections and corridors with the highest weighted severity collisions and with the help of the Task Force.
These locations were then compared and grouped based on a systemic approach.
Because a LRSP is required for HSIP funding and has related objectives and goals, most of these projects were developed for HSIP funding.
The HSIP program has requirements to be eligible to compete for HSIP funding. These include:
• The total project costs must be greater than $200,000 for competitive BCR8 applications
• The BCR must be over 3.5
• Mitigations or project scopes must be selected from the LRSM9
A variety of methods to determine viable project scopes were used. Consideration was made of the locations of fatal and severe injury crashes, high-density crash locations, and the countermeasures identified to address the City’s safety issues. The LRSM was used to identify countermeasures to address qualitative and quantitative safety measures and select viable projects for the LRSP.
The project’s BCR must be calculated using the HSIP Analyzer10 by inputting the crashes and their severity, and the project’s cost estimate . Projects are weighed and selectively chosen by their BCR to compete for limited grant funding.
8 Benefit-Cost Ratio (BCR) For some of the projects the cost summary will include a BCR value depending on the likely funding source. BCR is an important figure for determining the effectiveness of a proposed project. The benefit is based on many factors including collision history, collision severity, systemic approach, the crash reduction factor associated with the applied countermeasures, and whether the types of collisions can be mitigated with countermeasures being applied for th e project. A higher BCR is considered a more favorable project.
9 Local Roadway Safety Manual (LRSM) is a document published by Caltrans identifying HSIP eligible mitigation measures, their collision reduction factors, and what type of collisions are most impacted by the mitigation measures. The mitigation measures are referred as countermeasures. The latest LRSM version and version 1.5 used in the LRSP is from April 2020.
10 HSIP Analyzer is a required document for HSIP projects which determines the project’s benefit based on the total crashes within the project area and their crash severity. The HSIP Analyzer is a tool used to calculate the project BCR.

The first project involves upgrading stop -controlled intersections with flashing beacons, which will be installed at these intersections, as well as larger signs and additional warning signs. These mitigations will reduce the likelihood of collisions at intersections. The second project is a BCR project that is intended to reduce corridor or mid-block collisions along the Florence Avenue Corridor. The third project involves upgrading both signalized intersections with advanced dilemma zone detection, and the existing traffic signal hardware will be upgraded. Collisions at the locations for this project should be monitored to see how it affects the BCR and if it makes a more favorable submittal in the future. The fourth project is a set -aside project which involves upgrading and installing pedestrian crossings. Set-aside projects do not depend on collision history or a BCR and were developed in discussions with the Task Force with the next HSIP cycle in mind.

Project Area Collision Trends
The City of Bell’s reported collision data showed trends where many collisions took place at partially or all -way stop-controlled intersections. At the 12 intersections there was a total of 86 crashes over the course of the 5-year data period between 2016 and 2020.
This data was used for an optimal BCR. The intersection with the most collisions, 12, was Gage Avenue / California Avenue. Gage Avenue / Flora Avenue had the second highest number of collisions with 11. All the intersections included in this project have had fatal or severe injury collision s occur during the 5 -year data period. The breakdown of the collision severity at each of the intersections is shown below in Table 100-T2.

Countermeasure ID Countermeasure Description
R08 Install raised median
This countermeasure will install raised medians along midblock segments throughout the Florence Avenue Corridor. The proposed scope of work is as follows:
The Florence Avenue Corridor is the most traveled east -west corridor in the City of Bell.
There are numerous unsignalized intersections as well as residential and business driveways that connect to Florence Avenue. These can create conditions that lead to collisions. This project is designed to remove these conditions and reduce the likelihood of collisions. While developing this project , the Task Force wa nted the businesses to maintain as much access as possible and wanted majority community support for th is project. Before any work on this project can begin, there must be majority community support for it to proceed. During the design phase of the project, the raised median will be designed to include as many appropriate turn -pockets to allow for left -turns and U - turns.
Scope of Work:
Install raised medians at midblock locations along the Florence Avenue Corridor in the City of Bell between Salt Lake Avenue and Walker Avenue.

Overview
The Traffic Signal Improvement project is based on a previous unapproved HSIP application from Cycle 10 that has been revised based on updated collision analysis and discussions with the City and Task Force . The project consists of 6 signalized intersections and follows LRSM Countermeasures:

These countermeasures will make the traffic signal heads more distinct and easier for motorists to see from greater distances as well as improving the timing to reduce congestion and right of way conflicts. The proposed scope of work is as follows:
Scope of Work:
Provide upgraded traffic signal hardware including signal backplates, lenses, mounting size, and number as well as providing advanced dilemma zone detection and emergency vehicle preemption (EVP) equipment to the intersections listed below:
• Bandini Boulevard / Amelia Earhart Way
• Florence Avenue / Bear Avenue
• Florence Avenue / Crafton Avenue
• Florence Avenue / Flora Avenue
• Atlantic Avenue / Randolph Street
• Eastern Avenue / Rickenbacker Road
300- Traffic Signal Improvement Project
Figure 300-F1 identifies the 6 intersections throughout the City that will receive traffic signal improvements.
The first countermeasure removes and replaces existing traffic signal hardware with upgraded hardware. These upgrades include 12 -inch traffic signal heads where 8 -inch traffic signal heads are still in use and backplates with retroreflective boarders that make the signals easier to see from greater distances.
The second counter measure, providing advanced dilemma zone detection, is geared towards reducing confusion for drivers approaching the intersection as the signal turns to the yellow ball. In the case of the intersections that are part of this project it i nvolves upgrading the traffic signal controller. Improving the advance dilemma zone detection system provides optimized clearance times of the intersections and orderly transitions in right-of-way assignment between conflicting streams of traffic. Additional benefits include reducing the frequency of red -light violations; reducing the frequency of crashes associated with the traffic signal phase change (like rear -end and broadside crashes); and reducing delay and stop frequency on the major road and a reduc tion in overall Figure 300-F1: Area map

The City of Bell’s reported collision data showed trends where many collisions took place at signalized intersections. At the 6 intersections, there was a total of 61 crashes over the course of the 3-year data period between 2017 and 2019. The data set from these years was utilized to optimize the BCR. The intersection with the most collisions, 20, was Florence Avenue and Crafton Avenue. The intersection of Atlantic Avenue and Randolph Street had the second most collisions with 17. The intersections of Florence Avenue and Bear Avenue, Florence Avenue and Flora Avenue, and Eastern Avenue and Rickenbacker Road each had a fatal or severe injury coll ision. The breakdown of the collision severity at each of the intersections is shown in Table 300-T2.

Delving deeper into the collision data, the collision type for the 61 collisions was analyzed for the project intersections. The most common collision types were broadside and rear end which can b oth be corrected by upgrading the signal hardware and improving advanced dilemma zone detection. Figure 300 -F4 shows the complete distribution of primary collision factors of the 84 collisions that occurred at the project intersections.

400- Citywide Pedestrian Set-aside
Overview
The Citywide Pedestrian Set-aside project was developed based on guidelines from the LRSM and historic eligibility from HSIP Cycle 10. The set -aside funding category is only available for certain types of safety projects, including pedestrian crossing enhancements. The maximum funding available for pedestrian crossing enhancement upgrades is $250,000. This type of funding does not require a BCR calculation or detailed collision data. The Citywide Pedestrian Set-aside project consists of upgrading existing and installing new enhanced uncontrolled pedestrian crossings with bulb -outs, flashing beacons, high visibility signage, and high visibility striping. The project scope consists of the following Countermeasure:
HSIP Funding Set-asides
Set-aside for Pedestrian Crossing
Enhancements
Upgrading and inst alling new enhanced pedestrian crossings will improve safety for pedestrians and cyclists, as well as motorists. Enhanced pedestrian crossings give pedestrians a designated path to cross a roadway and make it easier for motorists to see pedestrians in the roadway. Bulb-outs and curb extensions narrow the roadway to create a shorter distance for pedestrians to cross. A lso, the narrowed roadway leads motorists to driving slower. The flashing beacons and high visibility striping make it easier for drivers to see crossings and pedestrians in the roadway. The proposed scope of work includes:
The City and Task Force were consulted in the development of this project and shared locations which would benefit most from these enhancements. Since the funding provided would not be able to cover the expenses of the install ations and upgrades, a list of the seven best current potential locations was developed. The list can be expanded to include other locations near schools in the City. When the time comes to prepare the HSIP Set - Scope of Work:
Upgrade and install new enhanced pedestrian crossings throughout the City of Bell .
Upgrades can include flashing beacons and bulb-outs, as well as high visibility signing and striping.

N- Next Steps
N- Next Steps
The objective of this chapter is to account for safety ideas that were not able to be developed into projects. Some of these ideas came from the goals and visions outlined by the City, discussions with the Task Force, and data analysis. These ideas can evolve when reviewing future data and how the emphasis of state funding progre sses. Also, these ideas can be coupled with collision trends that may emerge.
Additional Signalized Intersection Upgrades : There were a handful of intersections removed from the Advanced Dilemma Zone Detection project due to how it affected the BCR, like the intersection of Bandini Boulevard and Yeager Way shown above. Also, there were more intersections mentioned during discussions with the Task Force that would be good locations for upgrades based on existing conditions. However, the low number of collisions did not make them good candidates for HSIP funding based on the current criteria. These intersections should be kept in mind for additional funding opportunities.
N- Next Steps
Bike Lanes: Los Angeles County is developing a larger bikeway network along the Los Angeles River and both Florence Avenue and Gage Avenue corridors intersect the River. Connecting both corridors to the greater network would increase bicycle traffic in the City. Curre ntly, b oth corridors have a number of bicycle -related collisions. However, neither roadway is wide enough to install bike lanes with buffers in each direction. Consideration should be given to a future project that incorporates bike lanes or parallel bike ways for these c orridors as well as providing bicycle education to the community.
Gage Avenue Raised Medians: The Gage Avenue corridor had the second most crashes of any corridor in the City. Median islands on Gage Avenue were considered early on and discussed in meetings with the Task Force. However the BCR was not as competitive as with other projects included i n this report. Additionally, there were only a few segments where the roadway width allowed for median islands.
Nonetheless, after discussions with the Task Force it was agreed that it should be kept in mind for future consideration and additional funding opportunities.
N- Next Steps
Crosswalk Improvements at Walker Avenue and Southall Lane: In discussions with the Task Force, crosswalk improvements at intersection of Walker Avenue and Southall Lane were recommended. Currently, this T-intersection has all -way stop control, marked crosswalks on the north and east leg, and a flashing beacon at the intersection. Additional improvements that can be made are the installations of larger Stop signs, upgrad ed intersection pavement markings in cluding a high visibility crosswalk, and advanced warning signs approaching the intersection. Th ese improvements can also be applied to other intersections for a systemic project.
This report should be re-evaluated and updated every few years. New collision trends can develop with time and should be evaluated, and projects and programs relating to new trends should be proactively developed to reach the City’s safety vision and goal.
B- Toolbox
B- Toolbox
This Toolbox table is based on countermeasures from the Caltrans Local Roadway Safety Manual (LRSM). The countermeasures included in the LRSM are selected based on numerous studies to determine their effectiveness in reducing collisions. The intent of the Toolbox was to provide a better sense of what type of countermeasures can be employed for specific type of need within the City.
B- Toolbox
Examples
Install flashing beacons
as advance warning at
signalized intersections
with rear end collisions
that are a result of drivers
being unaware of the
intersection or are unable
to see the traffic control
device in time to comply.
Install raised pavement markers and striping through intersection where the lane designations are not clearly visible to approaching motorists . Also, at intersections noted as being complex and experiencing crashes that could be attributed to a driver’s unsuccessful attempt to navigate the intersection. Driver confusion can exist regarding choosing the proper turn path or where through-lanes do not line up. This is especially relevant at intersections where the overall pavement area of the intersection is large, and multiple turni ng lanes are involved or other unfamiliar elements are presented to the driver.
B- Toolbox
Improve
pavement friction
at a reas having
crashes on wet
pavements or
under dry
conditions when
the pavement
friction available is
significantly less
than actual
roadway spee ds.
This includes but is not limited to curves, loop ramps, intersections, and areas with short stopping or weaving distances. This treatment is intended to target locations where skidding is determined to be a problem, in wet or dry conditions and the tar get vehicle is one that runs (skids) off the road or is unable to stop due to insufficient skid resistance. Nationally, this countermeasure is referred to as "High Friction Surface Treatments" or HFST.
Install advance stop bar before crosswalk (Bicycle Box) at signalized intersections with a marked crossing, where significant bicycle and/or pedestrian volumes are known to occur.
B- Toolbox
Install splitter-
islands on the
minor road
approaches of
unsignalized
intersections
where the
presence of the
intersection or
the stop sign is
not readily
visible to
approaching
motorists. The
strategy is particularly appropriate for intersections where the speeds on the minor road are high. Creation of a splitter island allows for an additional stop sign to be placed in the median for the minor approach.
Install transverse rumble strips on approaches in the travel lane to provide an auditory and tactile sensation for each motorist approaching the intersection. They can be used at any stop or
yield approach
intersection, often in
combination with advance
signing to warn of the
intersection ahead. Due to
the noise generated by
vehicles driving over the
rumble strips, care must
be taken to minimize
disruption to nearby
residences and
businesses.
B- Toolbox
Install/upgrade pedestrian crossing with enhanced safety features at uncontrolled locations and intersections with significant vehicular tr affic w here pedestrians are known to cross. They are especially important at school crossings and intersections with turn pockets. At many locations, a marked crosswalk alone may not be sufficient to adequately protect non -motorized users. In these cases, flashing beacons, curb extensions, advanced "stop" or "yield" markings, and other safety features should be added to complement the standard crossing elements.
Install rectangular rapid flashing beacon
(RRFB) which includes pedestrian-activated
flashing lights , additional signage that
enhance the visibility of marked crosswalks ,
and alert motorists to pedestrian crossings. It
uses an irregular flash pattern that is like
emergency flashers on police vehicles.
RRFBs are install ed at unsignalized
intersections and mid -block pedestrian
crossings.
B- Toolbox
Install chevron signs on horizontal curves on roadways that have an unacceptable level of crashes on relatively sharp curves during periods of light and darkness. Ideally this type of safety countermeasure would be combined with other sign evaluations and upgrades (install warning signs, delineators, markers, beacons, and relocation of existing signs per MUTCD standards).
Install curve advance warning signs on
roadways that have an unacceptable level of
crashes. These roadways may have relatively
sharp curves as well as periods of light and
darkness. This countermeasure may also
include horizontal alignment and/or advisory
speed warning signs. Ideally this
countermeasure would be combined with other
sign evaluations and upgrades such as
installing warning signs, chevrons, delineators,
markers, beacons, and relocati ng existing
signs per MUTCD standards.
B- Toolbox
Install delineators, reflectors and/or
object markers on roadways that have an
unacceptable level of crashes on curves
during periods of light and darkness. Any
road with a history of fixed object crashes
is a candidate for this treatment, as are
roadways with similar fixed objects along
the roadside that have ye t to experience
crashes. If a fixed object cannot be
relocated or made break-away, placing an
object marker can provide additional
information to motorists. Ideally this type
of safety countermeasure would be
combined with other sign evaluations and
upgrades (install warning signs, chevrons, beacons, and relocation of existing signs per MUTCD standards).
Add two -way left turn lane
(without reducing travel lanes) on
roadways that have a high frequency
of rear end collisions that occur while
motorists wait to make a left turn
across oncoming traffic. Also , this
can be effective for drivers crossing
the centerline of an undivided
multilane roadway inadvertently.
B- Toolbox
Install/upgrade signs with new fluorescent
sheeting (regulatory or warning) on roadway
segments with patterns of head on, nighttime,
non-intersection, run -off road, and sideswipe
crashes related to lack of driver awareness of the
presence of a specific roadway feature or
regulatory requirement. Ideally this type of safety
countermeasure would be combined with other
sign evaluations and upgrades (install chevrons,
warning signs, delineators, markers, beacons,
and relocation of existing signs per MUTCD standards).
Install edge lines and centerlines on roads with a history of run-off-road right, head- on, opposite -direction-sideswipe, or run -off-road-left crashes is a candidate for this treatment. I nstall where the existing lane delineation is not sufficient to assist the motorist in understanding the existing limits of the roadway. Depending on the width of the roadway, various combinations of edge line and/or center line pavement markings may be the most appropriate. Incorporating raised/reflective pavement markers (RPMs) into centerlines (and edge-lines) should be considered as it has been shown to improve safety.
B- Toolbox
Install no -passing line on
roadways that have a high
percentage of head -on
collisions. This suggests
that many head -on
collisions may relate to
failed passing maneuvers.
No passing lines should be
installed where drivers
passing sight distance is not
available due to horizontal
or vertical obstructions.
General restriping projects can be good opportunities to reevaluate and incorporate new no-passing zones limits. The incorporation of 'No Passing Zone' pennants should also be considered when reevaluating the limits of no -passing zones. Installing no - passing limits in areas that are not warranted may reduce the overall safety of the corridor as drivers may become frustrated and attempt passing maneuv ers at other locations without the necessary sight distance.
Install
centerline
rumble
strips/stripes
which can be
used on virtually
any roadway,
especially those
with a history of
head-on
crashes. It is
recommended
that rumble
strips/stripes be applied systematically along an entire route instead of only at spot locations. For all rumble strips/stripes, pavement condition should be sufficient to accept milled rumble strips. Care should be taken when considering installing rumble strips in locations with residential land uses (noise concerns) or in areas with high bicycle volumes (tracking concerns).
B- Toolbox
Install median barrier in areas where crash history
indicates drivers are unintentionally crossing the
median and the crossovers are resulting in high
severity crashes. The installation of median barriers
can increase the number of property -damage-only
collisions and non -severe injury collisions. The net
result i n safety from this countermeasure is
connected more to reducing the severity of crashes
not the number of crashes.
Install raised pedestrian crossing on lower-speed roadways, where pedestrians are known to be crossing roadways that involve significant vehicular traffic. At many locations, a marked crosswalk alone, may not be sufficient to adequately protect non - motorized users. In these cases, raised cro ssings can be added to complement the standard crossing elements. Special requirements may apply, and extra care should be taken when considering installing raised crossings to ensure unintended safety issues are not created, such as: emergency vehicle access or truck route issues.
B- Toolbox
Install bike lanes on
roadway segments that have
bicycle-vehicle collisions or
collisions that may be
preventable with a buffer
and/or shoulder. Most studies
suggest that bicycle lanes
may provide protection
against bicycle-vehicle
collisions. Striped bike lanes
can be incorporated into a
roadway when it is desirable
to delineate which available road space is for exclusive or preferential use by bicyclists.
Install separated bike lanes on streets with high bicycle traffic volumes and/or high bicycle-vehicle collisions, presumably in an urban or suburban area. Separation types range from simple, painted buffers and flexible delineators to more substantial separation measures including raised curbs, grade separation, bollards, planters, and parking lanes.
These options range
in feasibility due to
roadway
characteristics,
available space, and
cost. In some cases,
it may be possible to
provide additional
space in areas
where pedestrian
and b icyclists may
interact, such as the
parking buffer, or
loading zones, or
extra bike lane width
for cyclists to pass one another.
B- Toolbox
Install impact attenuators , which are typically used to shield rigid roadside objects such as concrete barrier ends, steel gu ardrail ends and bridge pillars from oncoming automobiles. Attenuators should only be installed where it is impractical for the objects to be removed.

SUBJECT
: S helter Bed Pilot Program Update
RECOMMENDATION:
It is
recommended that the City Council Receive and File the Shelter Bed Pilot Program Update.
BACKGROUND:
This repor
t provides an update on the Shelter Bed Pilot Program for its initial month of operations (July 13, 2022 – August 10, 2022). The Salvation Army Bell Shelter initiated received its first client on July 13, 2022.
The Shelter
Bed Pilot Program, a coordinated response between the eight LCA1 cities (Bell, Bell Gardens, Commerce, Cudahy, Huntington Park, Maywood, South Gate, Vernon) and Los Angeles County Supervisorial District 1 that coordinates a total of 40 shelter beds at the Salvation Army Bell Shelter.
DISCUSSION:
As t
he program is a pilot program, the City of Bell, as lead agency, in coordination with the Salvation Army Bell Shelter, developed a client referral process that’s intended to streamline and funnel client shelter requests through the City’s Homeless Services Liaison (Liaison).
The purpose
of the program is to improve communications and coordination among the LCA1 cities, Los Angeles County First Supervisorial District, and various agencies and nonprofits that provide services. The Shelter Bed Pilot program is intended to be a supplement to the resources available through the regional coordinated entry system and is intended to provide synergy with existing regional service providers to address local issues.
I. Referr
al Process
When a ci
ty or a service agency has a referral during regular business hours , a call is placed to the Liaison; then the Liaison discusses the client’s needs and notes the information necessary to complete and submit a referral form.
AGENDA ITEM 5
If the referral is from a public safety agency, the Liaison may also accept basic information by text from the police agency and the Liaison submits the form to the shelter intake staff. Referral forms may also be completed by city staff (Attachment 1) and emailed to the Liaison.
The Li
aison coordinates with the requesting city or agency and the Salvation Army Bell Shelter to find appropriate shelter for the unhoused person. After hours referrals are available , subject to conditions and limitations, through a dedicated cell phone number that directly connects to the Salvation Army Bell Shelter staff.
A
s we move forward with administration of t he Shelter Bed Pilot Program , we will collect and provide data over time to gage program effectiveness as clients move through the system, and Pilot Program participants are entered into the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) for advanced metrics and analysis.
The S
helter Bed Pilot Program will provide the following data:
• Participant demographic data,
• Program and service utilization data,
• Unduplicated individuals served,
• Individuals employed by the expected exit date,
• Individuals exiting to permanent housing,
• Individuals completing a housing plan,
• Individuals exiting to another level of care.
A
s the Shelter Bed Pilot Program initiated on July 13, 2022, this update will provide: (i) available referral data by LCA1 participant and, (ii) note barriers to service that have been identified in the first month.
