Item 1.

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Michael B. O'Kelly, City Manager
BY: Daisy Gomez, City Clerk
SUBJECT: GENERAL MOTION TO WAIVE FULL READING AND APPROVE ORDINANCES BY TITLE ONLY PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 36934 DATE: February 12, 2024
RECOMMENDATION:

It is staff's recommendation that the City Council approve a general motion to waive full reading and approve Ordinances by title only pursuant to California Government Code Section 36934.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

In order to expedite the conduct of business at Council meetings, California State Law (California Government Code Section 36934) allows Ordinances to be read by title if a majority of the Council supports the motion waiving the full reading. Most California cities adopt a standard motion at the beginning of each meeting in order to effectuate this waiver.

Since most of the Ordinances introduced and adopted consist of multiple pages of technical language, reading by title only allows the Council to eliminate the communication of redundant information and attend to other matters during the meetings. Otherwise, the entire Ordinance language will have to be read in full.

CONCLUSION:

Allowing ordinances to be read by title only, according to California State Law, will expedite the conduct of business at Council Meetings.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.

AGENDAREPORT
Item 5.

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Michael B. O'Kelly, City Manager
BY: Manuel Carrillo, Director of Finance and Administrative Services Andrew J. Tse, Human Resources Manager
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BELL GARDENS,

CALIFORNIA, UPDATING THE CITYWIDE CLASSIFICATION AND COMPENSATION

PLAN AND APPROVING A BUDGET APPROPRIATION TO ESTABLISH /AM END STAFF

POSITIONS IN THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT FOR THE

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE RENT STABILIZATION AND TENANT EVICITION PROTECTIONS PROGRAM AS ESTABLISHED BY ORDINANCE NO. 925 DATE: February 12, 2024
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council:

1. Establish the positions of Housing Specialist 11, Housing Programs Supervisor, and Housing Inspector/Code Enforcement Officer;

2. Amend the title of Director of Community Development to Deputy City Manager / Director of Community Development;

3. Update the job specification of Housing Specialist to reflect updated chain -of -command; and

4. Adopt the attached Resolution establishing the salary range of the newly established positions and reflecting recommended position title amendments.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

On September 12, 2022, the City Council of the City of Bell Gardens adopted Ordinance No. 925, adding Chapter

5.62 "Rent Stabilization" and Chapter 5.63 "Tenant Eviction Protections" to Title 5 of the Bell Gardens Municipal Code (BGMC). The Ordinance became effective on October 12, 2022, establishing the City of Bell Gardens' Rent Stabilization and Tenant Eviction Protections Program (RSTEP).

City staff conducted a Request for Proposal (RFP) on November 14, 2022, to solicit proposals from qualified firms to prepare a required cost study identifying appropriate resources, including staffing and software, to successfully implement the RSTEP program.

On April 10, 2023, the City Council selected Revenue and Cost Specialist, LLC (RSC) to conduct the cost study of the implementation of the program. As a part of the study, RCS interviewed several jurisdictions with rent stabilization programs to determine prevailing industry processes and best practices pertaining to the RSTEP such as staff duties, registry protocol, technology solutions, and any startup issues. RCS then applied the findings and analyzed the City of Bell Gardens' data to formulate proposed program implementation and staff needs. Staff reviewed RCS's recommendations and established the proposed positions within the City's organization and compensation structure for the City Council's consideration. 31 On September 25, 2023, the anticipated cost study was presented to the City Council for consideration. The Council voted to adopt the cost study with the "Best Practices" recommendation.

The proposed Housing Specialist I I position assists with the implementation of the RSTEP program and provides assistance to residents seeking programs such as rental assistance, first-time home buyer assistance, and housing rehabilitation assistance. The incumbent will also be responsible for the coordination of consultants assisting with the administering of the housing programs, and ensuring communication with the public via social media, workshops, etc.

This position is distinguished from the Housing Specialist I position based on the number of years of experience, as well as supervisory role in the absence of the Housing Supervisor as needed. The recommended salary range for this position is G255, $5,688-$6,914.

The position of Housing Programs Supervisor is responsible for overseeing daily operation of the RSTEP, as well as assisting with other programs administered by the Community Development Department as assigned by the department director. The Housing Programs Supervisor is also responsible for developing and making recommendations in the areas of housing, affordable housing, and rehabilitation. The position reports directly to the department director and exercises supervision over the Housing Specialist 11, Housing Specialist I, Housing Inspector/Code Enforcement Officer, and Office Assistant. The incumbent may be assigned acting duties in the absence of the department director. The recommended salary range for this position is M173, $7,180 - $8,727 per month.

It is recommended that the position of Housing Inspector/Code Enforcement Officer be established utilizing the existing allocation for the currently vacant Code Enforcement Officer position, resulting in the reduction of one Code Enforcement Officer position, and adding the position of Housing Inspector/Code Enforcement Officer. This position's focus would be specifically on enforcement activities of RSTEP. The incumbent would be expected to assist with other Code Enforcement activities as directed. The salary range for this position would be the same as the existing Code Enforcement Officer position.

The job specification for the position of Housing Specialist I currently reflects that the position reports directly to the Director of Community Development. It is recommended that the job specification be updated to reflect that the position reports to the Housing Programs Supervisor as proposed for consideration.

It is also recommended that the title of the position of Director of Community Development be amended to Deputy City Manager/Director of Community Development. The Director of Community Development with the Deputy City Manager designation would serve as Acting City Manager in the absence of the City Manager. This amendment also takes into consideration the expected significant public contact and outreach for the position in association with the RSTEP program and newly created Housing Division. There is no request for an amendment to the existing salary range.

CONCLUSION:

The adoption of the resolution will result in the City's ability to properly implement and operate the Bell Gardens Rent Stabilization Program as established by Ordinance No. 925 and the adopted cost study as required by law.

FISCAL IMPACT:

It is recommended that the City Council appropriates $150,000 for the Rent Stabilization Program for the remainder of Fiscal Year 2023-24. Staff will make recommendations for appropriations for Fiscal Year 2024-25 during the normal annual budget formulation process.

AGENDA REPORT
Item 6.

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Michael B. O'Kelly, City Manager
BY: Bernardo I niguez, Director of Public Works/Facilities Gustavo Romo, Director of Community Development
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS AND AUTHORIZATION TO SOLICIT

BIDS FOR THE SOIL REM EDIATION PROJECT AT THE FORMER BERK OIL SITE (CIP NO.3927)
DATE: February 12, 2024
RECOMMENDATION:

It is staff's recommendation that the City Council:

1. Approve plans and specifications for the Soil Remediation Project at the former Berk Oil Site; and

2. Authorize staff to solicit competitive bids and publish the Notice Inviting Sealed Bids.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

Since 1985 the former Berk Oil site on Shull Street (Project Site) has been the subject of numerous investigations and reports of contamination. Berk Oil conducted asphalt mixing and oil distribution operations in the western portion of the Project Site from approximately 1965 through 1989, and Pacific Metal Craft conducted metal and plastic parts fabrication in the eastern portion of the Project Site from 1984 through the early 1990s, when the facility was demolished. Six known underground storage tanks (USTs) and a sub -grade steam cleaning sump were used during their years of operation. Preliminary investigations revealed volatile organic and petroleum hydrocarbon contamination across several of the parcels. There was concern that contamination sources were polluting the underlying groundwater, further compromising environmental conditions.

The former Bell Gardens Redevelopment Agency purchased the western portion of the Project Site in 1985 and the eastern portion in 1992, with the City of Bell Gardens (City) Successor Agency taking over ownership of the Project Site in 2012. Since the acquisition, the area has lain fallow and unused and has recently had conceptual approvals for residences and erection of an electronic billboard.

The Project Site is included in the Department of Toxic Substances Control's (DTSC's) EnviroStor system, which tracks the cleanup, permitting, enforcement and investigation efforts for sites with known or potential contamination. I n August 2011, DTSC approved a Targeted Site Investigation (TS I) for the Project Site, which consisted of a contiguous series of vacant parcels, bounded by residences to the north, and to the west by the 1-710 freeway. The Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board (Regional Board) is the Lead Agency working with DTSC and the City for the Project Site's cleanup activities. The Project Site is an Open Site Assessment with the Regional Board as of October 19, 2015.

On January 1, 2021, Senate Bill 158 authorized DTSC to implement a grant program known as the Equitable Community Revitalization Grant (ECRG) to provide financial assistance to communities via reimbursable grants to investigate and cleanup brownfield sites. Brownfields are sites that are contaminated or thought to be contaminated 55 with hazardous waste, and are underutilized due to perceived remediation cost and liability concerns. Cleaning up brownfields eliminates the threat from hazardous substances and it also enables abandoned or underutilized land to be used for productive reuse, such as residential or commercial development. The ECRG is an unprecedented opportunity to address the historically disproportionate impacts to communities and to revitalize land for public benefit.

On June 6, 2022, DTSC awarded the City a ECRG for an amount of $6,495,000 to fund cleanup activities at the Project Site.

On October 14, 2022, the City Council approved a Professional Services Agreement with WSP USA Environment & Infrastructure Inc. (WSP) for remediation consulting services for the Project Site. WSP prepared a Remedial Action Work Plan (RAW) for the Project Site to include refinement, planning, and design of the remedial actions, and conduct actions to comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and grant reporting requirements.

WSP has also prepared the construction documents for the Soil Remediation Project at the former Berk Oil Site (Project), which include plans, specifications, and engineer's estimate, in accordance with the City's internal procurement policies and the Public Contract Code. The Project scope of work includes, but is not limited to, site preparation activities (removal of shallow debris, loose and disturbed soil, building foundations, and asphalt/pavement surfaces), export and offsite recycling/disposal of materials generated during site preparation, excavation of approximately 8,100 bank cubic yards of impacted soil, export and offsite disposal of impacted soil, import of backfill material (as needed), excavation backfilling and compaction and/or recontouring of removal areas to eliminate trip/fall/entrapment hazards, and site restoration. The total contract period for the Project is seventy (70) working days, which includes twenty (20) working days for the preparation of the Work Plans described in the RAW.

Upon authorization by the City Council, staff will proceed with the bid phase of the Project, publishing the Notice Inviting Sealed Bids (NISB) in a local newspaper of general circulation and other electronic media, and posting the plans and specifications on the City's website. Bids will be publicly opened and a contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder at a future City Council meeting. The published NISB will state the time and place for receiving and opening of sealed bids, and will distinctly describe the Project. The NISB will be published in accordance with Public Contract Code § 20164.

Tentative Bid Schedule is as follows:
• Bid Period: February 13, 2024, through March 14, 2024 • Mandatory Pre -Bid Meeting: February 27, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. • Requests for Information Due: March 5, 2024, at 12:00 p.m. • Bid Opening: March 14, 2024, at 11:00 a.m.
• Anticipated Award of Contract: April 8, 2024
DESIGN IMMUNITY:

Government Code section 830.6 states in part, "Neither a public entity nor a public employee is liable for an injury caused by the plan or design of a construction of, or an improvement to, public property where such plan or design has been approved in advance of the construction or improvement by the legislative body of the public entity or by some other body or employee exercising discretionary authority to give such approval or where such plan or design is prepared in conformity with standards previously approved." In order to bid the Project and provide California design immunity, per Government Code section 830.6, the City 56 Council must approve the plans and specifications prior to the construction bidding process. The intent of Government Code section 830.E is to prevent a judge or juryfrom second-guessing discretionary approvals made by the public agency and its employees regarding a plan or design for a construction project.

The plans and specifications for the Project are consistent with the City's standards and the General Plan. Staff's recommendation for City Council approval of the plans and specifications is intended to avail the City of the immunities set forth in Government Code section 830.6, prior to proceeding with construction of the Project. Through the City Council's approval, the Director of Public Works/Facilities, as the City's project manager, would be authorized to act on the City's behalf in approving any necessary alterations or modifications of the plans and specifications throughout the course of the Project.

ENVI RONMENTAL ANALYSIS :

The Regional Board has completed an Initial Study for the Project in accordance with CEQA (Pub. Resources Code, div. 13, § 21000 et seq) and accompanying Guidelines [California Code of Regulations [CCR], tit. 14, § 15000 et seq]. The Regional Board, acting as the Lead Agency, has the primary responsibility for carrying out or approving the Project, whereas the DTSC, acting as the Responsible Agency, has discretionary authority over a project through management of the ECRG that the City received from DTSC. Based on the Initial Study, the Regional Board is recommending a finding that the Project could not have a significant effect on the environment; therefore, a Negative Declaration will be prepared.

CONCLUSION:

Upon authorization by the City Council, staff will proceed with the bid phase of the Project.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The Project's construction cost is estimated to be $3,205,700. The Project will be funded through the ECRG received from DTSC.

The duty to indemnify, defend and hold harmless under this subsection shall not encompass a duty to indemnity, defend or hold harmless for liability, loss, suit, damage, expense, or cost caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of any or all of the City Indemnitees. The duty to indemnify, defend and hold harmless as set forth under this subsection is intended to encompass liabilities, losses, damages, expense and costs not otherwise subject to subsection 4.2, above.

4.10 As to the duties to indemnify under Sections 4.1 and 4.2 of this Article, above, CITY shall have the right to offset against the amount of any compensation due CONSULTANT under this Agreement any amount due CITY from CONSULTANT as a result of CONSULTANT's failure to pay CITY promptly any indemnification arising under this Article and related to CONSULTANT's failure to either: (i) pay taxes on amounts received pursuant to this Agreement, or (ii) comply with applicable workers' compensation laws.

Upon such suspension, CONSULTANT will be compensated only for those services and tasks which have been rendered by CONSULTANT to the reasonable satisfaction of CITY up to the effective date of the suspension. No actual or asserted breach of this Agreement on the part of CITY will operate to prohibit or otherwise restrict CITY's ability to suspend this Agreement as provided herein.

E. No waiver of any Event of Default or breach under this Agreement will 14 Exhibit 2 80

constitute a waiver of any other or subsequent Event of Default or breach.

No waiver, benefit, privilege, or service voluntarily given or performed by a Party will give the other Party any contractual rights by custom, estoppel, or otherwise.

F. The duties and obligations imposed under this Agreement and the rights and remedies available hereunder will be in addition to and not a limitation of any duties, obligations, rights and remedies otherwise imposed or available by law.

No waiver, benefit, privilege, or service voluntarily given or performed by a Party will give the other Party any contractual rights by custom, estoppel, or otherwise.

Methodology

UNDERSTANDING THE CITY'S NEEDS
The City of Bell Gardens needs a full -service engineering firm with the capabilities and resources to manage all the engineering and construction support needs of the city. The city requires the services of a City Engineer, Traffic Engineer, Water Engineer, Public Works Permit and Inspection staff, Planning, and Community Development Engineer. Other needed services include assistance with the city's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) compliance and coordination as well as other engineering and administrative services, such as project administration, grant administration and contract administration.

The City Engineer will be the lead staff and will bring other expertise to the programs and projects at pre -scheduled intervals or as needed by the city. Responsibilities also include, but are not limited to, oversight of traffic and transportation engineering support, water engineering, NPDES programming and management, plan review and plan check services, construction management and inspection, civil design, structural improvements, mechanical, electrical design, land surveying, mapping, geotechnical engineering, investigations and reporting, engineering assessments, grant writing and funding compliance. We understand the city does not necessarily need all of these services all at once, or on a daily basis, but, they need to be available promptly, when needed.

The city requires a City Engineer committed to the city at least four (4) hours per week to respond to inquiries from city departments, outside agencies, contractors, utility companies, and the general public. The City Engineer may also be required to attend City Council meetings and Department Heads staff meeting every month. When requested, the City Engineer or the traffic engineer must attend Traffic Commission meetings, Planning Commission meetings or any other public meetings that may require engineering supported expertise. At the same time, the City Engineer and engineering team must be available during city hours to communicate and respond to phone calls and ernails on engineering matters related in the City of Bell Gardens.

The city needs an engineering company with a wide range of resources and expertise to handle the varied and complex capital improvement projects and programs. The engineering team must be familiar with Green Streets designs and Complete Streets concepts.The engineering design team must complete projects and prepare plans and specifications in accordance with general engineering practices and in compliance with funding source requirements. The engineering design and construction management team will also oversee bidding processes and contract awards t Understanding the city's budgeting process, procedures and practices is vital. Experience in managing various funding sources for the city's projects is essential, and demonstrated capability and resources to apply for grants as well as comply with funding sourcesrequirernents is necessary. Understanding of the NPDES permitting requirements, compliance and promotion of the concept and requirements of the clean water act is also a high priority for the city.

Ultimately, the city needs a firm that can engage and manage the members of its organization as extensions of the city staff.

The City Engineer and engineering team members must gain the respect and confidence of city staff in their ability to carry on this important responsibility for the next five years, without any interuptions to the city's operations.

Based upon the city's request for proposals (RFP) and our understanding and knowledge of the city, we offer a team that is exceptionally qualified to provide professional engineering services for the following reasons:

We have provided these very services to the city for the past 18 years and we have a deep understanding of the city and its needs.

We specialize in providing services to municipalities; we can streamline complex projects, enabling us to meet expedited project schedules.

Engineering Consultant Services for Public Works Projects IE will provide full engineering design services in support of public works Capital Improvement Projects (CIP). Under the direction and supervision of the Director of Public Works and the City Engineer, our dedicated design team will take a practive approach for every project that we undertake.

The following summarizes our approach to the design and engineering work on every CIP project:

Conduct project kick-off meetings with Public Works
personnel and will assist the Director of Public Works in reviewing the project. Specific design criteria addressed during the meeting will include pavement lifespan, street crown, preferred rehabilitation strategies, cost limitations and, most importantly, potential cost savings that can be addressed in the design.

Develop a master schedule for all phases of the assigned program and all capital projects contained in the program, including clear identification of milestones for all facets of work.

As part of IE's internal project procedures, all project staff participates in monthly project status meetings with firm principals. The meetings serve as an additional control to ensure all projects move forward on, or ahead, of schedule, and resources are allocated as needed. Furthermore, the meetings allow our staff to be continually aware of project status, schedule and milestones.

Maintain communication with the Director of Public Works, including monthly written status reports and project status meetings, as needed, in addition to reviews at 35%, 65%, 95% and 100% levels of completion. Although monthly reports will be provided, IE will proactively keep the Public Works Director informed of any new developments, issues or factors involved in the project and alternatives to solve any unforeseen items. . In addition to communication, IE staff will prepare agendas of special items that warrant discussion at project status meetings, and prepare and distribute minutes with action items to involved parties.

Convene an initial meeting with key design team members and City Public Works staff in order to review and confirm the detailed project scope, schedule milestones, construction objectives, and other pertinent project details. During this meeting, design criteria and parameters will be discussed, established for each of the various elements, and incorporated into the project.

Useful records pertaining to the proposed work may exist, such as existing improvement plans, maps, as -built drawings, utility plans, reports, studies, and other pertinent information within the projects'lirnits. Additionally, there may be proposed improvements that will affect the design of the project. The design team will review these existing records and incorporate them into the design program as appropriate. The city, county and utility companies will be contacted and any information obtained will be used as a part of the base map.

Perform land surveys for the project.

Perform a site investigation to evaluate the existing condition of items pertaining to the design. During this investigation, Exhlafts�ructure Engineers, a Bowman company I Municipal Enginq@&g Services I November 9,2023 11

Methodology (cont.)
locations of damaged or distressed features will be inspected, confirmed and summarized, if required. Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessibility compliance will be reviewed and non-cornphant features noted. Existing drainage patterns will be reviewed for street projects so that any changes to eliminate poncling can be identified.

Conduct fieldwork to verify the locations of surface utility features within the project limits. During the field investigation, validate the locations of other special features and items such as traffic signal loops. In conjunction with information researched, notify affected utility companies of the impending project. Surface features requiring adjustment will be identified and properly coordinated with the corresponding utility company.

If the proposed improvements interfere with existing utilities, we will arrange to have potholes taken by the utility company. If the utility company has prior rights, we will negotiate with a contractor to pothole the area for a fee as part of extra services. We will provide the city with copies of all correspondence with the utility companies compiled in a book report at the submittal of 95% plan completion, to ensure due diligence and follow-through with the utility companies.

IE will review available existing pavement analysis reports. Based on review of the reports, we will recommend to the city if an additional, supplemental or completely new report of pavement analysis of the subject streets will be needed. Our subconsultant geotechnical engineer will conduct a pavement condition survey of the existing roadway condition. If desired, non-destructive deflection testing will be conducted along streets using the Dynatest Failing Weight Deflectometer to evaluate the structural capacity of the existing pavement.

A base map will be prepared and used for the preparation of the construction drawings. This will show existing features necessary to depict the intended work within the street. As -built plans, field measurements and field survey work will be used for the compilation. The field survey work will be limited to those items and areas necessary for the proposed design.

This includes obtaining adequate topography and cross sections in areas of street widening, as necessary, for proper tie-ins and street cross -fall. This approach is anticipated to present a cost savings to the city while maintaining intent and quality of work.

These milestones are usually at 35%, 65%, 95% and 100%. A final set of signed Mylar plans, along with specifications and estimates, will be submitted to the city for bidding purposes. . Upon completion of PS&E, IE will coordinate with the City Clerk Office's to present to City Council for approval. All council meeting agendas will be coordinated through the Public Works Director.

In addition to the initial Project Definition and Program Development Meeting, continuous coordination and updates will be required between the design team and the Director of Public Works. Progress reports will be provided at appropriate intervals and, as necessary, to document project status. Meetings are generally anticipated after significant submittal milestones and when required to address specific design and coordination issues. In addition, the Director of Public Works will be continuously informed of work status and issues through email, phone and facsimile communications.

IE will prepare as -built plans based on the red mark-up plans provided by the contractor at the end of project construction and submit to the city for their retention and filing.

Construction Management and Inspection Services
Based on our collective experience having managed hundreds of various CIP projects for municipalities throughout Southern California, we posses the knowledge and the expertise to build safeguards in every project that we design and take into construction. In addition, we are intimately aligned with the city's needs, for various improvements that are needed for every type of CIP project that the city plans to build, either now, or in the future.

Our construction management starts with conducting a full review of the plans and specifications and the cost estimates and budget, during the 60% design phase. We will incorporate many of the lessons learned to ensure the plans and specifications are without any discrepancies or redundancies. A second constructibility review will be conducted on the 100% plans, to ensure that all comments and back -checks have been incorporated before, the project goes out to bid. IE will prepare the bid package and supervise the bid procedures to conform with all the State and Federal guidelines, for funding and labor compliance requirements. There are several key elements when reviewing the bid packages. Our goal has always been to Exhlafts�ructure Engineers, a Bowman company I Municipal Enginqeg g Services I November 9,2023 13

Methodology (cont.)
make the plans and specifications and all the attachments clear to understand and to remove any discrepancies that might exist in the documents prior to bidding. As part of our red-tearn review, we will make sure that the review is conducted to ensure that all details are correctly cross-referenced and are clear to read and understand. Other constructibility items include identification of long -lead components on the project, ROW issues, utility verifications, verification of unit prices and quantities. Having in-house design capabilities provides us with access to these services.

The following is a description of major activities in managing every construction project:

1. Construction Management and Resident Engineering /Administration Masoud Sepahi will be our main point of contact for construction management support and staffing services. Masoud brings many years of experience serving the public in a variety of leadership positions. He understands the needs of the City of Bell Gardens for managing various CIP projects currently in construction or in the design phase. Masoud will be complemented by other construction managers and resident engineers, who have managed many of the city's capital improvement projects. IE will be working proactively with the design team to finalize the plans and to carry the projects into the next phase for bidding and awarding construction contracts.

2. Bid Analysis
After bids are received, IE in collaboration with Avant -Garde will review and evaluate bids for accuracy and responsiveness, based on the directions given in the Instruction to Bidders. This review will include checking the entire bid for accuracy, to ensure that all forms have been signed and proper bid -bonds are included, there are no math errors, all the forms have been completed, sub -contractors have been listed with each percent share of the work identified, references have been listed and to make sure that all the license and credentials have been included. The next check will be to call each reference to determine if there are any issues that will have to be investigated with each bidder. Licenses will also be checked to make sure that they are active for performing each trade. Once the initial investigation has been completed and potential discrepancies or issues have been identified, IE will prepare a report, listing all the bidders received and all unit prices for each bid received for the city's review. This report will also include IE's recommendations for awarding a contract to the lowest responsive bidder. IE will also investigate and prepare response to each bid protest, by first notifying and then consulting with the city.

In some unique cases, the City Attorney may be included to review the bid protest. Under the direction of the Public Works Director, IE's construction manager will assist with preparation of the agenda report for getting approval from the City Council to award a contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.

3. Staff Reports
Preparation of staff reports, and executive reports is an important part of construction management on every project. As the City Engineer for the City of Placentia and Director of Construction management for the Los Angeles Metro, Masoud was responsible for the preparation of numerous staff / agenda reports on a variety of projects. In preparation of these reports, Masoud will be utilizing the city's format for each type of report and actions that are needed for approval by the City Council. These reports may be complemented by presentations to be provided under the city's direction.

4. General Construction Administration
Our approach to managing each project will be to collaborate and coordinate our activities with the city's staff and the Director Exhlafts�ructure Engineers, a Bowman company I Municipal EnginqSig Services I November 9,2023 14

Methodology (cont.)
of Public Works in providing as -needed engineering services and at the same time, introduce many of the lessons learned from our past projects. Prior to start of any construction project and / or activity, IE will meet with the city staff to formulate a work plan and a resource allocation matrix for each individual project to build a robust team to administer and manage construction contracts, in accordance with the city's needs and budget.

IE will also establish the individual needs of the project for other necessary services, such as field survey, geotechnical investigations, materials testing, SWPPP, NPIDES Permitting and monitoring, environmental investigations and testing, deputy inspections and other specialty items as required.

5. Filing Systems
In collaboration with the city, IE will set up an electronic filing system for managing all of the future construction projects.

This system will allow the IE team and the city to have access to all construction documents in real-time and to better communicate with the contractors and outside agencies. IE will ensure to follow all grants funding requirements by following the latest guidelines for various programs, through CaltransLAPM, County's SBDG, Metro, and other outside agencies. IE will establish the procedures and we will monitor contractor's compliance with the requirements set forth by the federal and the state's prevailing wage regulations and requirements. IE will prepare and process all the required documentation on behalf of the city to secure reimbursements from outside funding agencies.

6. Pre -Construction Meeting
IE will arrange and conduct pre -construction meetings with the contractors, designers, inspectors, and other key stakeholders. We will ensure to invite all city personnel that may be involved with the project, in addition to representatives from regulatory agencies that may be involved with permitting and grant funding. We will also request that subcontractors be present at the pre -construction meeting. IE will arrange for a weekly progress meeting, to review the project status, request for information (RFI) log, change orders, project issues, etc. Our field crew and inspectors will review the plans and all the submittal documents and will conduct a pre -construction survey, by inspecting the entire job and taking photographs before Exhlafts�ructure Engineers, a Bowman company I Municipal Enginqeg g Services I November 9,2023 15

Methodology (cont.)
and after the completion of the construction. Our daily logs will include daily photos showing site and weather conditions; traffic control measures taken by contractors: labor, equipment and materials used; quantity of work performed; and major incidents / safety violations. We will prepare appropriate electronic logs for keeping track of these activities and will discuss them during our weekly progress meetings.

7. Quality Control and Materials Testing
To control the quality of work on any construction project, a number of provisions must be built into the contract documents.

In addition to the requirements by the Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction (Green Book), which sets the minimum standards for controlling the quality at the job site, IE will evaluate and determine individual needs of the projects for a robust CIA / QC program. These provisions will need to be written into the contract documents, so that the contractors provide an adequate testing program, necessary for meeting the requirements of the project. As part of our monthly reporting, a section will be dedicated to the CIA / QC program, summarizing the testing and a review of the contractor's performance, on a regular basis. IE team will evaluate the contractor's performance and will recommend changes as necessary. IE inspectors are provided with the latest technology for documenting and reporting daily activities and are dedicated and trained to make sure the construction work is being conducted in a safe and expeditious manner.

8. Submittal / RFl Review and Precessing
IE will review and process contractor's submittals by first preparing a submittal -list for each contract. All submittals and deliverables that are required by the contract will be logged through the IE's project management system and routed to the project's architect and engineers for review and approval. IE will meet with the city prior to bidding, to learn more about the city's requirements for purchasing equipment that is compatible with the city's existing infrastructure. We will also ensure that proper warranties are stipulated for certain items per the city's needs to ensure that the maintenance and longevity of these systems are secured over the long haul. We will also add attic stock to be purchased by the contractors for the city's future use in maintaining the city's assets and infrastructure. IE will include the city staff in the submittal reviews to make sure that the city has an opportunity to review these items. We will also arrange for any special inspections and training, that may be required.

9. Change Order Review
Upon receipt of a change order request, IE will promptly investigate the field conditions to determine if a change in condition may exist. In case the site conditions involve a hazard, IE will work with the Contractor to resolve the issue immediately under a time and materials basis. However, as it was mentioned earlier, IE has learned that every change order should start with a RFI by the contractor. All changes to the original plans and specifications will have to be reviewed by the design engineers first, so that a formal response can be attained, and changes are fully documented. IE will keep track of the change orders through the city's electronic project management system and on the IE's monthly executive summary reports. IE will be managing all change order work starting from field inspection to the final payments, by first verifying them with the designers and then the city. Change orders will be reviewed, and a determination will be made on the merit quickly and expeditiously. Change orders come in variety of ways, and it is IE's responsibility to determine the cause and to provide a direction to the contractor quickly.

In our experience, change order management is one of the key elements in establishing a firm but fair relationship with the 10011H11MM,
Exhlafts�ructure Engineers, a Bowman company I Municipal Enginq@jJng Services I November 9,2023 16

Methodology (cont.)
IE takes safety seriously. We know that even one incident on the project will taint the project. As a standard practice, at the beginning of each meeting, we draw attention to a safety moment. This is to ensure that all parties and the construction team make safety on the job a priority. We believe that safety must be built into the culture of the construction team, and it must be the underlying condition for conducting any type of construction work. IE will make sure that the latest CAL -OSHA provisions have been incorporated into the contract documents and we will monitor the job daily to ensure that all safety precautions have been placed at the job site every day. At the pre -construction meetings, IE will ask to see the Contractor's Health and Safety plan and to make sure that a Safety Office has been identified by the contractor at the onset of the project, and before, construction starts. IE will ensure to document and report any incident or deficiencies that may exist on the project and will be pro -active on stopping work that is being conducted without regard to safety precautions.

11. Progress Payments
IE team will meet with the contractor prior to the first day of the month to review the progress payment summary and to conduct a field review of all work performed. Every progress report along with daily logs and correspondences will be reviewed to ensure that the progress payments are accurate and represent a true picture of the work that has been completed. Retention of the funds will be in accordance with the contract and the inspector and the construction manager will sign on the progress payment request, prior to submission to the city for processing. All approved change orders will be listed on the payment requests along with a comprehensive progress report, on all pending change orders and claims.

12. lnspections
Daily construction logs shall be provided for the city's review on IE's web -based project management systern.The project inspector will review construction progress schedules on a regular basis to verify that the project is on schedule and on track with project milestones. The project inspector will provide accurate measurements of the work completed by contractors in accordance with contract documents, in addition to the review of the soil compaction and materials testing reports and Exhlafts�ructure Engineers, a Bowman company I Municipal EnginqStpg Services I November 9,2023 17

Methodology (cont.)
certifications of compliance. IE will also review the material testing reports regarding quality of work completed. Inspectors will ensure that failed tests are reported and direct the contractor to take correction actions to achieve full compliance. We have vast experience with installing utility work and will monitor the contractor's excavation work to prevent and minimize utility conflict delays and potential conflicts. We will achieve this by conducting potholing, which will be required by the contract, and by a thorough review of the as -build drawings. IE will prepare and submit to contractor a "Weekly Statement of Calendar / Working Days" report to ensure that the contractor is fully aware of the schedule and the critical path activities. Our inspectors have been trained to monitor various contract compliance provisions, as required by the city and outside funding agencies.This is to ensure that these provisions are being followed by the contractors. These provisions may include special traffic safety and access issues, job site protection for safety, SWPPP and NPDES monitoring, CASp certification and inspection, labor compliance postings and any other special requirements of the Contract.

We have found that compliance with the latest codes should be built into the design and carried over to construction. IE inspectors will also make sure that the contractor is following all the traffic coordination and permitting. We will coordinate with the contractor to make sure proper access to adjacent businesses / residents has been provided during the duration of construction. As noted earlier in the proposal, IE prepares a monthly status and progress report for each one of our clients and each project. These reports will include budgets, costs, schedule, and resource allocation for each project, submitted each month for the city review and approval. We found that this method of reporting works well, providing the city with a document that has all of the key project data in one place. These reports will include discussion on change orders, claims, schedules, and any other key issues that need direction from the city for managing the project. Our project manager Mr.

Sepahi will meet with the city's project manager individually to go over the report and to point out any issues that might be going on with the project, which requires city's attention. Key decisions will be made at these meetings, which will provide directions for a successful project delivery.

13. Claims
Claims management starts even before the bid & award process. We have listed a number of ways that we propose to avoid claims as part of the pre -construction phase services. We have also mentioned several safeguards for incorporation into the contract documents to eliminate claims as much as possible. However, our approach to managing claims is based on our 30 years of experience having managed numerous public works CIP projects. We will encourage and ask the contractor to submit BFI's on every issue encountered on the job site, to document each potential change. We will investigate these claims and respond back to the Contractor in a timely manner, after the engineer of record has provided our team with a formal response. We will then document all potential claims and notify the city's project manager on the status of these claims and potential change orders on a weekly basis. All RFIs, claims and change orders will be handled through the city's electronic project management system. Our goal has always been to work with the contractor to resolve all claims and process all change orders expeditiously by taking a pro -active approach. In our experience the best way to handle claims is to deal with them quickly and decisively.

14. Prevailing Wage / Labor Compliance
Prevailing Wages are required in accordance with the provisions of the Labor Code of the State of California. General prevailing rate of wages are applicable to all construction contract and IE will ensure that the Contractor is compliant to this rule, during the entire contract duration.

We will accomplish this goal by taking a proactive approach to receiving and documenting certified payrolls monthly. We will also make sure these reports are uploaded to the Department of Industrial Relations Exhlafts�ructure Engineers, a Bowman company I Municipal EnginqS§ig Services I November 9,2023 18

Methodology (cont.)
every month. IE team will also be conducting labor interviews to ensure compliance with all the employment requirement and wage rates required by the State's wages and hour laws. IE will also ensure that the Contractor complies with all of the statutory requirements relating to the employment of apprentices and the city's labor requirements.

15. Project Closeout
The project close out starts early, before taking substantial completion on any construction project. IE will start working with the Contractor to collect all the required product data, pamphlets, owner manuals and will arrange for training on new systems for the staff and employees. IE has performed many formal commissioning on complex projects and will ensure that all new systems have been tested and perform per the intended design and specifications.

IE will review and process contractor's final payment request and release of retention, in addition to assisting the city with preparation and filing of Notice of Completion once the project has been accepted. IE will organize and deliver all project documents and files, in addition to the grant funding forms and ledgers to the city for future use. All reports, daily logs and other related construction documents will be submitted to the city electronically. All as -build plans will be collected, checked for validity, and sent to the Engineer -of -record for incorporating them into the final as -built drawings. IE has also GIS capability in-house, and can provide the city with a GIS database for all work performed by the Contractors.

16. Community Outreach
IE understands that a successful project must involve the community. IE will prepare all the printed outreach materials and project fact -sheets, working with the city's Community Liaisons to inform the public of upcoming construction activities and to collect and document all input and comments received from the public. We have performed similar services on other projects, and our team is ready to engage with the public on an as needed basis. Our public outreach coordinator will be Cali Hildebrand, who brings many years of experience supporting cities with similar outreach initiatives.

17. Federal Requirements
Exhlafts�ructure Engineers, a Bowman company I Municipal Enginqq8jtng Services I November 9,2023 19

Methodology (cont.)
Having managed a variety of public improvement projects, supported by funding from outside agencies, IE team in conjunction with Acant-Garde is fully aware of the requirements posed by the grant funding rules and regulations. IE team will ensure that all the funding regulations by the city, state and federal laws are being coordinated and all the forms are fully executed. IE will also ensure that the contractor and their subcontractors and suppliers and vendors comply with the state and Federal orders regarding affirmative actions to ensure equal employment opportunities and fair employment practices.

NPDES Compliance and Assistance

1. Industrial /Commercial Facilities Program
IE has successfully inspected all industrial / commercial facilities within the City of Bell Gardens a total of three times. After several rounds of inspections, IE has developed a database for all commercial and industrial facilities that is frequently updated. Our approach to inspections is to first confirm the facilities' BMPs are being effectively implemented in compliance with municipal ordinance. Our inspectors verify that the business is implementing effective source control BMPs for the pollutants generated by the commercial activity. If the BMPs are not adequately protective of water quality, we require additional site -specific controls. Each inspection is to be documented by an inspection report that includes a summary of the inspection with photographs. In the future, when the city obtains ArcGIS, we will send the SKIP file for the city's records. The schedule will be provided to the city and the GIS file is updated automatically each working day as the inspections progress in real time. We shall also supply a link of completed inspection reports that will be updated at the end of the week to make it easy for city's to track our progress in confirming schedule deadlines.

As part of the inspections, our team takes advantage of the opportunity to fulfill the Business Assistance Program. IE implements the requirements of the Business Assistance Program by providing technical information to businesses to facilitate our effort to reduce the discharge of pollutants in stormwater. We accomplish this by providing California Stormwater Quality Association (CASQA) Industrial and Commercial BMP guidance specific to each business. We aid by explaining the material in the CASQA handout and by identifying solutions highlighted in the handout to bring the business to compliance. Our team provides on -site and over the phone technical advice, both of which are logged in our electronic database. Many owners and operators contact our team to discuss potential solutions or if they have any questions regarding the BMP handout, we provide consultation to them and even go back to the site to discuss in person.

The City of Bell Gardens has two businesses with an Industrial General Permit. Within the Stormwater Multiple Application and Report Tracking System (SMARTS) we verify appropriate WDID number, and if all reporting requirements are fulfilled for stormwater discharges associated with industrial activities. As part of the program, our staff also searches through the business license list provided by the city to identify if any business based on SIC codes are required to obtain an IGP. Any business that is not in compliance or resists complying will be issued a violation letter. Our team will coordinate with code enforcement to issue violation letters to bring the facility into compliance.

2. Planning and Land Development Program
As part of the Planning and Land Development Program, Jay Shih shall coordinate with the city's Community Development Department to obtain a list of agreements with developers for both new developments and redevelopments over the past ten years to review and identify all BMPs and their maintenance requirements. We shall dedicate a GIS layer to map the BMPs and create a schedule to inspect them all. There is a total of five Exhlafts�ructure Engineers, a Bowman company I Municipal Enginq(Uing Services I November 9,2023 20

Methodology (cont.)
QSPs serving the city that are capable of inspecting BMPs and creating reports and logs highlighting their discoveries and recommendations. GIS is the perfect tool for this purpose and can be used to alert our staff two years after the inspection has been completed to inform inspection commencement deadlines.

IE will request to be incorporated as part of the review process prior to issuing approval for final occupancy. Our function will be to review operation and maintenance plan, monitoring plan and to verify ongoing maintenance provisions for LID practices. Part of the review will confirm that all priority development projects retain on -site Storm Water Quality Design Volume (SWQDV). CEQA mitigation requirements will also be reviewed by our team to make sure they abide by all environmental requirements.

3. Development Construction Program
Our construction management department led by Masoud Sepahi comprises of many talented construction managers and inspectors that are intimately familiar with all Construction Program requirements set forth in the NPDES guidelines. All erosion control and sediment control plans will be reviewed and approved by our QSD / QSP personnel and will be on site as part of the inspection team to confirm adherence to all requirements to prevent illicit construction -related discharges of pollutants into the MS4 receiving waters. On the field our team will ensure all non-stormwater management and waste management housekeeping practices are adhered to.

For construction sites greater than one acre, our GIS specialist will create a separate layer to develop an electronic system to inventory grading permits, encroachment permits, demolition permits, building permits and construction permits. As part of our inspection program, our inspectors will confirm that the project is enrolled in the Construction General Permit with an active WDID number and that the accompanying SWPPP shall be fulfilled.

4. Public Agency Activities Program
Our team understands that the intent of the Public Agency Activities Program is to prevent and minimize the impacts from MS4 discharges from Permittee-owned and operated
facilities and activities. Our GIS specialist will have a designated layer for public facilities and activities such as parking lots, golf courses, swimming pools, materials storage yards, roads, catch basins and much more. IE
will maintain and update the accuracy of the inventory
through collection of new information obtained through
field activities. All personnel will be equipped with a device accessible with CIS to be able to update any information regarding such facilities in real time.

5. Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination Program
IE will develop a program to where we shall act as the
database hub for collecting and monitoring Illicit Discharge reports from all departments. Our CIS Specialist shall
create a layer to highlight all the information collected from the responder and reporter. Latitude and Longitude information collected from the report will be utilized to drop pins for all locations and will create a reminder to Exhlafts�ructure Engineers, a Bowman company I Municipal EnginqVing Services I November 9,2023 21

confirm that the issue has been resolved. Included in the GIS will have information pertaining to the source investigation discoveries and discharge elimination methods. The discharge elimination method will comply with the city's spill response plan that includes procedures to prevent, contain, and respond to all spills that may discharge into the MS4.

6. Public Information and Participation Program
As part of our commitment to educate the public IE will continue to reach the general population and ethnic communities regarding water quality priorities. Cali Hildebrand, our public outreach specialist has experience in creating story maps on ArcGIS and is experienced in creating brochures utilizing Al technology. It is in all our best interests to help the public understand the importance of stormwater management for environmental quality and local water resiliency. Brochures will be created in both English and Spanish and uploaded to Internet -based platforms, provided at commercial points of purchase, schools and community events. As part of the program Cali will also document and track the measured effectiveness in achieving our goals in educating the
community. From the results of the feedback received, we shall continue to evaluate our current materials and enhance them to better suit the city's needs in achieving community participation.

7. Watershed Management /TMDL Programs
In 2012, Aidan Mousavi attended the first Los Angeles River Upper Reach 2 (LAR UR2) Watershed Management Program
(WMP) meeting on behalf of Bell Gardens with the cities of Bell, Commerce, Cudahy, Huntington Park, Maywood, and
Vernon. Since then, IE has been involved with developing the Watershed Management Program for the City of Bell Gardens and achieving the milestones set forth in the plan. The WMP clearly characterizes water quality challenges and describes implementation actions and activities to demonstrate that MS4 discharges achieve applicable Water Quality -Based
Effluent Limitations (WQBELs) and do not cause or contribute to exceeciances of Receiving Water Limitations (RWLs). The WMP also enables the iterative Adaptive Management Process (AMP) strategy which IE will update every two years per MS4 requirements.

The development of the WIMP took two years and is a report our team in the watershed are very proud of. It also identifies structural and non-structural Watershed Control Measures (WCMs) that we still use to this day to address water quality priorities. The Water Quality Objectives (WQOs) were set using the calibrated model identified in the Reasonable Assurance Analysis (RAA). Due to our history in developing the WMI? IE is intimately aware of all the requirements the city is responsible for when achieving a successful implementation.

The relevant Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDL) applicable to the LAR UR2 Watershed Management Area (WMA) are Nitrogen Compounds, Trash, Metals and Bacteria. Applicable target deadlines to address all relevant TMDLs extend to the year 2037 and IE has been assisting the group reach their milestones. The identified method to achieve the city's goals is through a mix - use of BMPs for infiltration, detention, constructed wetland, treatment facility, low flow diversion, site -scale detention, green infrastructure, flow -through BMP and Source Control Treatment BMPs.

8. Monitoring and Reporting Program
As with the WMI? IE spent two years in the development of the Coordinated Integrated Monitoring Program (LIMP) for the City of Bell Gardens which will allow implementation of integrated approach to support the AMP as intended in the MS4 Permit. In the CIMP, seven stormwater outfall-based monitoring sites are proposed which have water quality collected annually, from over 70% of the LAR UR2 WMA. The LIMP proposes both stormwater and non-stormwater outfall-based monitoring that will support the Cities Illicit Discharge Elimination Program. IE will follow the requirements set forth in the Monitoring and Reporting Program (MRP) to assess the chemical, physical, and biological impacts of MS4 discharges on receiving waters and compliance to TMDL wet -weather and dry -weather numeric limit Waste Load Allocations (WLAs). IE will utilize the LIMP results to identify and characterize pollutant loads and sources to improve the effectiveness of pollutant controls implemented. Annual Reports and Serni-Annual Reports information will be collected all year and incorporated into GIS so that reporting will be readily available for the Director's review two months prior to the submittal deadline. We understand the seriousness of providing accurate reporting data which is why we will utilize GIS in organizing all information year-round and not collecting information before the deadline.

9. General Stormwater Compliance Consultant Assistance
It is of vital importance to act as the city's representative when coordinating with all agencies such as LARWQCB, SWRCB, EPA, etc. while also providing bi-weekly updates to the city staff and elected officials regarding all NPDES-related activities.

Our team is not only aware of the requirements set forth in the permit, WMP and LIMP but also has the expertise to provide hydrology analysis and to design various stormwater quality projects such as infiltration wells, storage tanks, wetlands, diversion facilities, detention basins, biofiltration, permeable pavement and more. IE can provide reporting, design, cost estimation and has relationships with vendors to be familiar with long lead items to propose alternative solutions for quick construction. IE has also worked with Measure W to obtain funding for various projects such as the Veterans Park Project. We are aware of all Safe Clean Water funding requirements and envision securing additional funding for future projects.

The site was under re-developrnent from an industrial land use site to a high -end multi residential development. Existing severing from the old metal- working operation included a problematic siphon that required frequent flushing to minimize odor issues. By converting the sewer system as part of the redevelopment project, the city was able to remove a "hotspot" maintenance issue from their O&M program. The recommended sewer system had to be pumped from a central pumping facility on -site to a different location within the public system, which was accomplished using a private gravity flow system to a low-pressure pumping station and discharge system pre -fabricated by E-One.
