Our list of agencies that our staff has been engaged with includes numerous city clients, such as the cities of Adelanto, Baldwin Park, Covina, Hawaiian Gardens, Huntington Park, Glendale, La Puente, Lynwood, and Montebello, and more.
For this contract, we have selected specialty subconsultants, including Core for the civil, WQMP compliance, structural and MEP tasks, and Wood Landscape Architecture will provide structural engineering support.
2. Methodology
We have reviewed the scope of work in the RFP and have listed them below for confirmation of our understanding.
Project 1 Veterans Park Refurbishment
Our team will deliver a full design and engineering package (PS&E) for the refurbishment of Veterans Park. The PS&E package will be submitted to the city for review and comments at the preliminary stage (30% Completion), and the design plans will be submitted at 65%, 90% and 100% (Final) completion, as requested in the RFP. The focus will be on enhancing community amenities, expanding recreational opportunities, and ensuring long-term sustainability and accessibility.
Key scope items include:
1. New Amenities & Features
• We will prepare the design documents for new landscape improvements in the open spaces identified, incorporating drought -tolerant, sustainable plantings in targeted areas.
• We will prepare the design documents for a new walking trail with mile markers, directional signage, and accessible wayfinding, incorporating the closed road between the hard courts and the skate park.
• We will prepare the design documents for the construction of two (2) new picnic areas with flat, smooth, ADA-compliant table surfaces.
• We will prepare the design documents for the development of two (2) passive, therapeutic gardens, including educational and interpretive signage to enhance the user experience.
• We will prepare the design documents for a permanent community amphitheater stage with adjacent lawn seating, integrated power and audio/visual connections, and full ADA compliance.
2. Renovations & Upgrades
Wage
A iARCH
Proposal for The Veterans Park Refurbishment and Restroom Renovation City of Bell Gardens— October 02, 2025
• We will prepare the design documents for the renovation and lighting upgrades of one (1) baseball field, including the addition of shade structures and integration with prior lighting upgrades.
• We will prepare the design documents for the renovation and lighting/shade structure upgrades to:
• Two (2) existing basketball courts
• Two (2) existing tennis courts
• One (1) volleyball court
• One (1) futsal court
• We will prepare the design documents for the interior renovation of Ross Hall Recreation and Cultural Center ("Community Center"), including:
• Flooring and ceiling upgrades
• ADA accessibility improvements
• New lighting (including LED and stage lighting)
• Audio/visual system integration
• Commercial kitchen upgrades (subject to Health Department compliance) • Paint, cabinetry, finishes
• Asbestos/hazardous material testing and remediation if necessary
3. Additional Enhancements
• We will prepare the design documents for the installation of shade sails over outdoor fitness and exercise equipment.
• We will prepare the design documents to improve visitor seating and lawn areas, especially near the existing veterans' memorial, to increase community comfort and highlight this feature.
• We will prepare the design documents for ADA-compliant upgrades to the existing parking areas serving the park.
• We will prepare the design documents for the renovation of the restrooms within Ross Hall to improve accessibility and functionality.
4. Funding & Budget: This project is funded through Proposition 68, with an estimated budget of $3,310,894.
Project 2 — Veterans Park Restroom and Storage Building Renovation The second project component focuses on the complete renovation of the outdoor restroom and adjacent storage building, located near the baseball field. We will design the new restroom in the same location as the existing, and the design will specify a new ground -up structure to replace the existing restrooms.
1. Scope of Work — Restroom & Storage Renovation
• We will prepare the design documents for the complete renovation of the existing outdoor restroom structure, maintaining its current location and using site -built methods only.
41 Page
ARCH
Pro osal for The Veterans Park Refurbishment and Restroom Renovation City of Bell Gardens— October 02, 2025
• We will prepare the design documents for the complete renovation of the storage building, aiming to improve the functionality of park operations and park support services.
• We will prepare the design documents for ADA-compliant accessibility upgrades throughout both structures, including parking, entries, and interior spaces. • We will ensure all design documents reflect required compliance with CEQA, NEPA, and any other regulatory permitting or hazardous materials testing requirements.
2. Funding & Budget: This project is federally funded through CDBG/HUD, with an estimated budget of $1,785,567.
Additional Tasks
Based on our Field observation, we believe that the following task will add substantial value at minimal expenditure.
• The playing surfaces of all existing courts, including basketball, tennis, futsal, and volleyball, are currently worn out, uneven, and deteriorated. These surfaces require full renovation to ensure safe, accessible, and high -quality recreational use. • We recommend including a splash pad for children as a deferred submittal. It would serve as a vibrant and engaging feature, offering a fun and joyful experience for kids that enhances the overall recreational value of the park.
• We are offering a redesigned monument area with some art pieces display that enhances the existing Veterans Park monument by surrounding it with a striking architectural structure featuring integrated lighting and water elements. Positioned at the park's main entrance, this dynamic new design will create a powerful first impression, drawing attention, while honoring the monument's significance at the heart of space. • We recommend proceeding with the installation of a cost-effective canopy for the stage at Bell Gardens Veterans Park to provide essential weather protection and improve usability, while staying within a low -budget framework.
Protect Methodology
Although there are two (2) distinct projects under this task order, we will treat the process as one and will prepare one package that will have both projects in it, unless instructed otherwise. We propose this to ensure that the preparation of the design packages is expedited. We will identify each project separately as the funding sources are different and we are aware of the reporting for each funding source. By combining the two (2) projects in one package, we will reduce the design period while creating savings in the overall scale of the project and as well as realize the cost saving of some duplicate items such as mobilization and project phasing. It will also reduce the design period and that will help with future CPI increase of material and labor. This strategy will also reduce the construction time so the new amenities will be available to the constituents more quickly. We are dedicated to delivering these two (2) projects on time and within the budget. We have examined the proposed scope and visited the site and have included a schematic concept in this proposal to start the conversation about design that might meet city's 5IPage

1. PRELIMINARY DESIGN DEVELOPMENT (30%):
The iARCH Team will coordinate with City staff, agencies, stakeholders, and utilities to start the preliminary design development phase of the project. We will research the records for any As -Built information for the restroom, and coordinate with the city for all additional available information and confirm our findings at the site to ensure that the record data matches what currently exists at the site. Once we have obtained the said information, we 71 Page
iARCH
Proposal for The Veterans Park Refurbishment and Restroom Renovation City of Bell Gardens— October 02, 2025
will analyze the record drawings, as-builts, utilities, and our site observation to create the base map.
Once all information has been secured and verified, we will prepare the base maps and create the preliminary plan that will show the existing improvements and as well as the intended design for the restroom that will meet the latest ADA requirements.
Deliverable: Upon completion of this phase, as a part of the complete package, we will submit the preliminary design plans (30%) for the restroom reconstruction with the supporting documents.
City Review: The architectural plans will be included in the overall project construction plan package that will be submitted to the city for review and comments. We anticipate that the city will provide comments within 10 working days.
2. DESIGN DEVELOPMENT:
Upon receipt of the city's comments, the iARCH Team will review and will inquire about any ambiguities. Once The iARCH Team is clear on the comments, we will start preparing the design plans. During this phase, the architects will meet with the team in person or virtually weekly to review the progress and clarify any questions. If needed, we will contact the city for clarifications, any additional information needed or for decisions on items to ensure that the restroom project stays within the intended scope while maintaining the schedule. This process will be repeated for the 65%, 90% and 100% submittals. Clearly, we expect the questions to be minimized as we get closer to the final design documents. However, we will intensify the coordination during the final stages to ensure that all architectural components are coordinated and convey the same design.
At each stage, our in-house quality control team will review the completed architectural package prior to submitting the said package to the city. The quality control team will be examining for constructability and value engineering.
With the input of the city, we will also consider and specify the Public Art location for the city's selected public art and provide instruction to the contractor for installation within the construction plans and specifications.
Deliverable: Upon completion of this phase, as a part of the complete package, we will complete the design development plans (60%, 90% & 100%) for the restroom reconstruction with the supporting documents.
City Review: The architectural plans (60%, 90% & 100%) will be included in the overall project construction plan package that will be submitted to the city for review and comments. We anticipate that the city will provide comments within 10 working days.
3. PLANS, SPECIFICATIONS & ESTIMATES (PS&E)
Upon receipt of the city's final comments, the project architect will review and will inquire about any ambiguities. Once we are clear on the comments, we will start preparing the final design plans. During this phase, the architects will meet with the team will meet in person Wage

The civil engineers will also prepare the Hydrology/Hydraulics analysis report for the pre - and post -development stormwater analysis and drainage design studies. The result will be used as the basis for any storm retention facility that might be needed for the proposed park improvement.
Deliverable: Upon completion of this phase, we will submit the preliminary design as a part of the complete project package (30%) that will include the initial design components of the project, the survey files, and the hydrology/hydraulic reports and as well as updated delivery schedule for the project.
City Review: The iARCH Team will submit the prepared preliminary civil plans, as a part of the complete project design package to the city for review and comments. We anticipate that the city will provide comments within 10 working days.
2. DESIGN DEVELOPMENT:
Upon receipt of the city's comments, the civil engineers will review and will inquire about any ambiguities. Once the civil engineers are clear on the comments, we will start preparing their respective design plans. During this phase, we will meet in person or virtually weekly to review progress and clarify any questions. If needed, we will contact the city for clarifications, any additional information needed or for decisions on items to ensure that the project stays within the intended scope while maintaining the schedule. This process will be repeated for the 65%, 90% and 100% submittals. Clearly, we expect the questions to be minimized as we get closer to the final design documents. However, we will intensify the coordination during the final stages to ensure that all disciplines are coordinated and convey the same design.
As a part of the design development, we will prepare a rough grading plan based on the approved preliminary grading in accordance with applicable agency regulations. The rough grading plan will identify pad, roadway grading, and drainage courses using one -foot contours and spot elevations.
We will also prepare an erosion and sediment control plan for the project site in conformance with agency requirements using the grading plan as a base will also be included. The plan shall reflect the site condition near the completion of the grading operation. It is anticipated that others (typically the grading contractor) will prepare interval erosion control plans for the various stages of the project's construction. The construction plans will include design and details for the proposed desilting basins.
The precise grading plan set will include the grading plan, detail sheet, sections, demolition plan, and erosion control plan as required. The precise grading plans will be prepared to an appropriate scale to the agency standards and specifications based on the approved schematic grading and drainage plan. The plan will show finished floor and lot elevations, area drains and pipes with elevations to flowlines and top of grates, building footprints, stoops, entry, sidewalks, driveway with grades, retaining walls, and perimeter walls. 10IPage

Minimum Qualifications, Prior Related Experience, and References The City of Adelanto is currently developing Bellflower Park, a dynamic and multifaceted recreational facility designed to meet the diverse needs of its residents. Infrastructure Architects (iARCH) was selected to lead the design, architecture, and engineering efforts for this transformative project. Spanning over 4 acres, Bellflower Park will feature a welcoming main entrance, playgrounds, restrooms, dining areas, office and medical facilities, and a variety of recreational amenities including basketball courts, skate parks, an amphitheater, and a plaza.
Throughout the design process, iARCH has worked closely with city officials and community stakeholders to ensure the park reflects the evolving priorities of Adelanto's residents. Our team conducted site visits and planning sessions to assess the undeveloped land and envision a space that is both highly functional and visually engaging. The design of the first phase of the project was completed in August of 2025 and currently is going through the bid process. This phase will be completed in second quarter of 2026 and will be put in service for community use, then.

The Montebello Transportation Facility renovation was a single-phase effort aimed at modernizing key interior spaces to serve both staff and visitors better. iARCH led to the redesign and remodeling of the first -floor entrance hall, driver lounge, and dispatch area, creating a more functional and welcoming environment. On the second floor, we transformed the conference room, hallway, and an underutilized kitchen -patio space into a refreshed patio lounge for rest and informal gatherings. Additionally, all restrooms throughout the facility, including those in the maintenance area, were upgraded to meet current standards. The break room in the maintenance wing was also fully remodeled to improve comfort and usability. Our team worked closely with city staff to ensure that all improvements met ADA requirements and reflected the city's long-term vision for the facility.

The City of Lynwood is in the process of upgrading its city -owned facilities, and as part of this effort, the city contracted with Infrastructure Architect (iARCH) to reimagine and remodel the Community and Transit Center. While the initial phase involved envisioning a more functional and visually engaging facility, the project has since moved beyond the conceptual stage and is now actively under construction. iARCH is currently working on the comprehensive renovation of the center, transforming it to better serve the evolving needs of city staff and the community.
Throughout the design process, iARCH held multiple meetings with department directors — including Public Works, the City Engineer, and Parks and Recreation —to gather input and align the design with the city's goals. Following these discussions, our team conducted site visits and user surveys to assess the existing layout and functionality. The resulting design, which has undergone several rounds of departmental review, is now being brought to life —delivering a center that is both highly functional and visually uplifting. The city has already secured partial funding, and the project is progressing toward completion.

In City of Huntington Park, a major transformation is underway at Keller Park —a beloved community space that's getting a fresh new look. With over 107,000 square feet of planned improvements and a $2.1 million construction budget, the redesign is ambitious and community focused. Infrastructure Architects (iARCH) has been entrusted with reimagining the park, bringing together thoughtful design and practical upgrades. The new plan introduces a walk-in fountain jet, shaded amphitheater, upgraded playgrounds for different age groups, and a modern restroom facility. But it's not just about amenities, it's about creating a space where families can gather, kids can play safely, and residents can enjoy seasonal markets, workout zones, and peaceful walks around the duck pond. The eastern portion of the park, once underutilized, is being activated with new features that reflect the city's vision for a more vibrant public realm.
From concept to construction, iARCH is helping turn Keller Park into a destination that blends recreation, relaxation, and community spirit. This project is currently going through the bid process.

The design objective was to enhance functionality, aesthetics, and user experience across key areas of the facility. The inverted pyramid entrance creates a visually stunning and iconic destination. We also converted an unused 2nd floor storage into a coffee shop/lounge area mezzanine for the employees of the facility to create a retreat for a cup of coffee or a relaxing lunch. The design blends with the natural surroundings while standing out as a unique architectural feature. The project is going through the bid process.

OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Manuel Acosta, Acting City Manager
BY: Bernardo Iniguez, Director of Public Works/Facilities SUBJECT: Consideration of a Resolution Approving a Fourth Amendment to the Contract Services Agreement with Econolite Systems, Inc. for Traffic Signal Maintenance and Repair Services
DATE: September 14, 2026
RECOMMENDATION:
It is staff's recommendation that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution authorizing the Acting City Manager to execute a Fourth Amendment to the Contract Services Agreement with Econolite Systems, Inc.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
In May 2021, the City of Bell Gardens ("City") entered into a Contract Services Agreement ("Agreement") with Econolite Systems, Inc. ("Econolite") for traffic signal maintenance and repair services. The scope of services under the Agreement includes the maintenance of the City's 38 traffic signals and flashing beacons to minimize disruption to vehicular traffic from signal malfunctions, ensure well -maintained equipment, and improve traffic safety throughout the City. The term of the Agreement was for three years, through April 30, 2024, with an option to extend for up to two additional one-year terms.
On April 16, 2024, the Agreement was amended by way of a Side Letter to exercise the right to extend the term through April 30, 2025; and on April 30, 2025, the Agreement was amended by way of a Side Letter to exercise the right to extend the term through April 30, 2026. On June 18, 2025, the City executed a First Amendment with Econolite to approve a 3% CPI adjustment. On May 20, 2026, the City executed a Second Amendment with Econolite to extend the term through June 30, 2026. On July 8, 2026, the City executed a Third Amendment with Econolite to extend the term through September 30, 2026.
On September 1, 2026, the City received a letter from Econolite proposing a two -month extension through November 30, 2026, under the same terms and conditions of the Agreement. Econolite has performed its services satisfactorily to date.
Public Works is currently working to release a Request for Proposals ("RFP") for the maintenance and operation of traffic signals, including the new H.A.W.K. signal that will be
installed as part of ATP Cycle 5 Improvements. To ensure the RFP covers the complete project scope, it will be issued following completion and full operation of the H.A.W.K signal. It is anticipated that a contract award recommendation will be presented to the City Council for consideration in November 2026. If approved, the new contract would have an effective date of December 1, 2026.
Therefore, staff recommends the approval of a Fourth Amendment to the Agreement, as this will allow for the completion of a competitive solicitation. There are sufficient funds in the City's FY 2026/2027 operating budget to cover the cost; however, the Agreement's Not -to -Exceed amount will need to be increased from $80,400 to $90,487.40 to cover two months of additional services from Econolite.
CONCLUSION:
Approval of the Fourth Amendment will extend the term of the Agreement through November 30, 2026, to allow the City to undergo a competitive solicitation process.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Gas Tax funds for Traffic Maintenance Services (210-4550-2840) are available in the FY 2026/27 Budget.

Records
ESI utilizes our Asset Management Module in
teamEpro to track and keep reeds of assets.
Utilizing a real time inventory system increases
accuracy and makes accessing the information quick
and easy. Additionally, the electronic system mtuces
the amount of paper used in the field, which is another step towards becoming a better partner with the
environment.
Asset Management Module
Using teamEpro, mayor asset data will be confirmed
and then the database of major asset at each location
will be maintained. ESI has already established the database of equipment in the field by creating an inventory of all locations for major assets, bar coding the items, then budding the initial database (see Figure 1).

Preventative Maintenance (PM)
ieamEpro provides scheduling for both preventative maintenance activities as well as on -cad personnel. Preventative maintenance checks can be scheduled for each device group by month. The scheduler takes the guesswork out of what needs to be completed at each location by providing the field technician with user -defined cheddlsts based on the month and type of location. The on -call scheduler allows supervisors to assign technicians to be on -cell by area, date, and time -of -day. The dispatch console automatically defaults to the technician on call via ktlformation provided in the on -call scheduler but allows the dispatcher to assign the call to another technician (see Figure 2).

Alarms
feemEpro provides alarms to notify the technician assigned to a call and or hlslher supervisor when a user -defined response time has not been met. This reminder allows the supervisor to make decisions based on current information as to whether an additional technician should be dispatched or if staying with the current assignments is the best course of action. teamE'pno monitors calls and sends notifications to the technician assigned to the current call, as well as the technician's supervisor, when a call comes in for a location that has had a previous tali within a user defined trmeirame. Th'multiple call alert provides information eboulthe previous calls to the location to aid In troubleshooting.
PM Checldrat
Utilizing the electronic PM checklist designed for the City, each site listed in the RFP will be visited. All items listed will be completed and checked following the City's procedural requirements, if any safety issues are found, immediate action will be taken to correct the situation, and the City's representative notified. We will maintain ati maintenance records In each controller cabinet showing the date and time checked.
Utifiang our web -based system, teamEpro, all maintenance services from the field wr1l be displayed as it occurs ehscbonioally. teamEpro Is customizable to the items the City has designated in the RFP, aiming the information to be available as it happens rather than the printed PM cheddist that issubmitted following each inspection. The City's representative has the convenience of accessing the permanent documents at any time of the day.
In addifion, ESI will also provide a copy of the City approved checklist at each intersection. The PM checklist form will be filled out during each maintenance inspection and/or repairs being made In the controller cabinet or the signal equipment at the intersection (see Figure 3).

Monthly Activities Report
ES1 will make available a computerized monthly activity report, as shown in Figure 4, by the 15th working day of each month for the previous month worked. The report will provide the following information in both a printout and as an Excel spreadsheet or in other file types (e,g., PDF, JPG, CSV, and XMLS):
• Time the service calls were received, time arrived at the intersection, the response lime, the number of hours spent for each repair, and a spedfic listing of intersedions with three calls in one month. • A complete record of all work that was performed on the Ci€y traffic signal equipment during the time period covered on the report including the make, model, and serial number of any major components, or other equipment that was newly installed at each intersection.
• Time and date the PM work was performed.
While teamEpro collects the data from the field, our Report Services portal will allow City's selected managers access to the information. With this web -based site, the City can sort, review, and print any needed information, The report forms allow the colleted information to be sorted properly to meet specific needs. The reports can be sorted by employee, location, date, or work type.

The traffic signal locations and systems will be strategically designated into 12 sections throughout the City. Each se Lion will consist of all City signalized intersections and traffic signal components, to ensure all annual and quarterly Inspections and repairs are completed for locations provided in the RFP. Each sedan's. maintenance will be completed in its designated month.
Any immediate repairs that need to be addressed will be prioritized. My repairs requiring City approval will be relayed to the City contact person for discussion and notice to proceed. Paperwork submissions of each maintenance completed will be provided, along with monthly Invoicing, and will also be submitted digitally.
Meetings will be arranged end established on a biweekly basis, at a minimum, or as needed If more frequent updates are required with the Citys designated staff or City contractors. We anticipate, at a minimum, the Project Manager and the primary signal technician will attend these meetings. A three-week look -ahead will provide an up-to-date view of day-to-day activities. ESI will discuss the anticipated workload, status of spare parts and inventory, previous month's repairs, on -going City projects requiring on -site support, and other outstanding Issues during these meetings. Any new developments and City projects will be integrated into the project schedule. Notes taken during the meetings will then be distributed to all attendees.
ESI is also well trained in the utilization of virtual conference rooms and mobile conference calls for any circumstance that prevents in -person meetings (d needed).
