FINAL PAYMENT TO G&A NELOS CONSTRUCTION, INC. FOR THE MAGNOLIA AVENUE WATER MAININTERCONNECT PROJECT

PREPARED BY PRESENTED BY
Jason Tran, Associate Engineer Jason Tran, Associate Engineer

DEPARTMENT HEAD APPROVAL CITY MANAGER APPROVAL
Mina Mikhael, Director of Public Works/City Engineer Aaron France, City Manager

RECOMMENDED ACTION
1) Accept the project as complete and approve a final payment to G&A Nelos Construction, Inc. in the amount of $52,654.35; and 2) Direct the Public Works Department to file a Notice of Completion.

PREVIOUS CITY COUNCIL ACTION
On May 28, 2024, the City Council approved a contract with G&A Nelos Construction, Inc. in the amount of $627,164 for the Magnolia Avenue Water Main Interconnect Project. The approved total construction project budget of $691,930 included a $64,766 construction contingency.

DISCUSSION
The recently developed tract adjacent to the intersection of Magnolia Avenue and Orangethorpe Avenue was supplied by one water main. A water main interconnect with the City of Fullerton will benefit the City by providing an additional water supply. The additional water supply provides redundancy in meeting fire flow requirements, as needed, by correcting pressure loss in the system, should a water main break occur. The constructed water main interconnect functions on a one-way basis to provide water to Buena Park only and cannot be used to sell or provide water to the City of Fullerton.

Contract Dates
Advertisement: 04/10/2024
Contract Awarded: 05/28/2024
Notice to Proceed: 08/15/2024
Work Completed: 08/12/2025
Due to unforeseen circumstances, permanent power could not be provided to the interconnect vault. Southern California Edison (SCE) plans to remove the existing power pole and underground the service as part of future work. SCE is currently finalizing design plans, and staff will continue coordinating with them to establish permanent power. In the interim, the vault can operate hydraulically based on pressure loss, with provisions for temporary power in emergencies. The contractor has been directed to complete construction of the vault with the exception of permanent power installation.

The contractor has submitted a bill for work completed as of August 12, 2025. All items, quantities, and prices have been checked and found to be in accordance with the contract documents. The final payment is in the amount of $52,654.35. The final contract cost for this project is $640,013.79. This amount is $51,916.21 (or 7.5%) under the approved construction project budget of $691,930. The total retention is in the amount of $32,000.69 and will be released following the expiration of the 35-day lien period. An analysis of expenditures is listed in Appendix “A” – Capital Improvement Project Final Report.

It is hereby recommended that the City Council accept the project as complete.

BUDGET IMPACT
The final cost of the project is $640,013.79. This project will be funded by the Water Enterprise Fund (Account No. 52-9806-396828).

Buena Park Renewal and Expansion

Section I: Introduction
Friendly Center, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to serving low-income residents across Orange County through its Community Resource Centers. We provide over 15 free basic needs and social service programs aimed at addressing the multifaceted challenges faced by vulnerable families. Our Community Resource Center model operates as a one-stop shop, allowing clients to conveniently access a wide range of services in one location.

As of July 1, 2025, our Buena Park site has been awarded a FaCT (Families and Communities Together) county contract. This partnership brings an estimated annual in-kind value of over $525,000 to the community, delivered through various basic needs and social service programs (see Section lll for a complete list of services).

Section II: Agency Experience
Friendly Center has been operating within the Buena Park Community Services Building for the past two years. We launched our first food distribution program serving 43 families, and nearly three years later, we now serve over 127 families weekly. This growth reflects our continued commitment to responsive, community-based service delivery.

Our organization brings decades of experience in direct service provision, facility management, and administrative operations. Through the Buena Park Family Resource Center, we ensure local residents in need have access to essential services such as food, case management, financial literacy, parenting classes, and more—completely free of charge.

With the growing demand for services in the Buena Park area, we have been offered the opportunity to expand our reach through an additional site at William Peak Park. We are enthusiastic about the chance to bring our proven food market model to this new location as part of the Buena Park Food Program.

If granted access, we will provide weekly food services using a market-style, client-choice model. This structure allows families to select the items they need—similar to a grocery store experience—rather than receiving pre-bagged goods or waiting in long distribution lines. The Market is appointment-based, respecting our community members’ time and fostering meaningful interactions between clients and staff. This client-centered approach not only preserves dignity but also enhances opportunities for engagement and support.

Section lll: Programs and Services
Friendly Center currently offers a wide range of free services to low-income families in Orange County. If William Peak Park is approved as a second location, several of these services will be provided at both the main Buena Park (BP Main) site and the new Peak Park site, enhancing our capacity to meet growing community needs.

Programs and Services
• Information & Referral Services (Both Locations):

Delivered by a bilingual (English/Spanish) Information & Referral Specialist, this service is often the first point of contact for individuals seeking support. The specialist assesses each client’s needs and provides referrals to in-house or community-based resources. A continually updated database ensures timely and accurate resource navigation for clients in need of emergency assistance or longer-term support.
• Case Management (Both Locations):

Clients experiencing multiple challenges—such as job loss, family crises, domestic violence, or food insecurity—are referred to a Case Manager. Each case begins with a detailed intake and leads to the creation of an individualized case plan. The average case lasts 3–6 months, with regular follow-up meetings to assess progress. This model has proven successful, with 95% of participants maintaining stability and self-sufficiency one year after program completion. • Counseling (BP Main):

Mental health counseling is offered on-site by supervised graduate-level interns from partner universities. Counseling is available for clients enrolled in Case Management and is overseen by a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT) and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC).
• Emergency Assistance (Both Locations):

Provides critical items such as non-perishable food, hygiene supplies, and diapers to clients in urgent need. Items are distributed from our fully stocked pantry, which is supported through a combination of organizational purchases and community donations. • Utility Assistance (Both Locations):

In partnership with SoCal Edison and SoCal Gas, qualifying clients may receive up to $500 in utility payment assistance to avoid service disruption. • Food Distributions (Peak Park):

Weekly food markets are held using a client-choice, grocery-store-style model. Families select

the food they need by appointment, reducing wait times and enhancing client dignity and personalized service.
• Family Engagement Events (Both Locations):

Interactive events that promote family bonding through fun and educational activities. These events are scheduled throughout the year during evenings or weekends to accommodate working families.
• Holiday Events (Both Locations):

Annual distributions of food, hygiene products, and gifts during Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas to help families meet seasonal needs and foster a sense of community. • Out of School Time (OST) Program (BP Main):

After-school enrichment for elementary school students from low-income families. Activities focus on S.T.E.A.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math) and are designed to support academic and social development.
• Legal Advocacy (BP Main):

Monthly access to a legal professional who provides on-site support, basic legal guidance, and referrals for more complex legal issues.
• Parenting Classes (Both Locations):

A multi-week program designed to enhance parenting skills by teaching child development, discipline strategies, and coping techniques for caregivers. • HiSET Preparation (BP Main):

High School Equivalency Test (HiSET) preparation courses help adults earn a credential recognized by the State of California as equivalent to a high school diploma. • Mobile Services (Peak Park):

Friendly Center partners with mobile providers such as OC Workforce, AltaMed Dental Clinic, and Central Health Clinic to bring health and employment services directly to the community. • Community Engagement Advisory Council (CEAC) (Both Locations):

Promotes collaboration between local residents and service providers to strengthen neighborhood engagement and improve service delivery.
• Diaper Distribution (Both Locations):

Families receive 50 diapers per child each month, helping meet the essential needs of infants and toddlers.

City Council Agenda Report
ORDINANCE ADOPTING AMENDMENT OF CHAPTER 13.16 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE REGARDINGBACKFLOW AND CROSS-CONNECTION CONTROLS AND RESOLUTION APPROVING A CROSS-CONNECTION CONTROL MANAGEMENT PLAN

PREPARED BY PRESENTED BY
Joe Hunt, Public Works Manager Joe Hunt, Public Works Manager

DEPARTMENT HEAD APPROVAL CITY MANAGER APPROVAL
Mina Mikhael, Director of Public Works/City Engineer Aaron France, City Manager

RECOMMENDED ACTION
1) Adopt an ordinance amending Title 13 Chapter 13 of the Buena Park Municipal Code (BPMC) in specified Sections 13.16.010 - 13.16.210 related to backflow and cross-connection controls; and 2) Adopt a resolution approving a Cross-Connection Control Management Plan.

PREVIOUS CITY COUNCIL ACTION
None.

DISCUSSION
The State Water Resources Control Board (State Water Board) via Assembly Bill 1671 (AB 1671) intends to build a foundation of awareness and education within the regulated community regarding the importance of backflow protection and cross-connection control, leading to the implementation of a robust cross-connection control program for Public Water Systems (PWS). The State Water Board developed a Cross-Connection Control Policy Handbook (CCCPH) with the primary goal of protecting public health through the establishment of standards intended to ensure a PWS will not be subject to the backflow of liquids, gases, or other substances.

A cross-connection is any physical link between a potable (drinking) water system and a non-potable source, such as irrigation, industrial fluids, or contaminated water, that could allow pollutants to enter the clean water supply. To prevent this risk, a backflow prevention device is installed. This device ensures water only flows in the intended direction, protecting the public water system from potential contamination. These safeguards are crucial because backflow events can compromise public health, damage infrastructure, and violate safety regulations. Proper installation, testing, and maintenance of backflow devices are essential for maintaining a safe and reliable water supply.

The CCCPH and its standards apply to all California PWSs, as defined in California’s Health and Safety Code (CHSC, section 116275 (h)). Compliance with this CCCPH is mandatory for all California PWSs. Pursuant to sections 116407 and 116555.5 of the CHSC, the State Water Board chose to adopt standards for backflow protection and cross-connection control through the adoption of this CCCPH, which became effective July 1, 2024.

Prior to AB 1671 and the adoption of this CCCPH, California’s regulations pertaining to cross-connection control were set forth in regulations in CCR Title 17.4, which were adopted in 1987 with minor revisions in 2000. Although still protective to public health, the CCR Title 17 cross-connection regulations required updating as both the drinking water and cross-connection control industries have evolved. The CCCPH updates those regulations, which as previously noted are no longer operative following the adoption of the CCCPH.

Each PWS must have operating rules, ordinances, by-laws or a resolution to implement the cross-connection program. The PWS must have legal authority to implement corrective actions in the event a water user fails to comply in a timely manner with the PWS’s provisions regarding the installation, inspection, field testing, or maintenance of backflow prevention assemblies (BPAs) required pursuant to the CCCPH.

In order to comply with the CCCPH, City staff is recommending City Council to adopt the proposed Ordinance, so that the City is consistent and compliant with the State Water Board. This new ordinance allows the City to implement the cross-connection program, as outlined by the CCCPH, that is specific to the requirements of the City. The ordinance outlines the legal authority to implement corrective actions in the event a customer fails to comply in a timely manner with the PWS’s provisions regarding installation, inspection, field texting or maintenance of BPAs to prevent backflow into the City’s public water system.

BUDGET IMPACT
The fiscal impact is dependent on the implementation of this updated backflow and cross-connection control program, but adoption will result in no additional expenditures to the City in the near future. The City has already incurred costs in the amount of approximately $24,000 to develop and operate a BPA inventory tracking system for two years, approximately $9,000 for the initial survey of BPAs in the City to build the dataset, and approximately $35,000 to develop the CCCPH and revise the BPMC. Funds for these purposes were included in the adopted budget.

City of Buena Park CCCMP – June 2025 1-1 1 Cross Connection Control Policy Overview

1.1 Objective
The primary objective of the Cross-Connection Control Management Plan (CCCMP) is to bring the City into compliance with the Cross Connection Control Policy Handbook (CCCPH) developed by the State Water Resources Control Board (State Water Board) for the protection of public health through the establishment of standards intended to ensure a public water system’s (PWS) drinking water distribution system will not be subject to the backflow of liquids, gases, or other substances, see CCCMP Appendix A. In addition, by providing basic educational information on backflow prevention, the City intends to build a foundation of awareness within the City regarding the importance of backflow protection and cross- connection control, leading to the implementation of a robust cross-connection control program.

Per Section 3.1.4 (b)(1) description the City will implement the requirements of the State CCCPH by implementing ordinances and procedures as detailed in this CCCMP.

1.2 Applicability
The State CCCPH and its standards apply to all California PWSs, as defined in California’s Health and Safety Code (CHSC, section 116275 (h)). Compliance with the State CCCPH is mandatory for all California PWSs. The City’s CCCMP has been developed in conformance to the State CCCPH and is applicable to all customers within the City’s service area.

1.3 Policy Development Background and Legal Authorities Through the adoption of the State CCCPH, the State Water Board exercised its authority, under California’s Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), to establish enforceable standards applicable to California’s PWSs. Failure to comply with the CCCMP which is in conformance with the State CCCPH may result in the issuance of compliance, enforcement, or other corrective actions against the City.

1.4 California Safe Drinking Water Act

On October 6, 2017, Assembly Bill 1671 (AB 1671) was approved and filed with the Secretary of State (see CCCMP Appendix B). AB 1671 amended California’s SDWA through the establishment of CHSC sections 116407 and 116555.5. AB 1671 also amended section 116810 of the CHSC, which is briefly discussed in CCCPH.

City of Buena Park Cross Connection Control Management Plan (CCCMP)

City of Buena Park CCCMP – June 2025 1-2 On October 2, 2019, Assembly Bill 1180 (AB 1180) was approved and filed with the Secretary of State. AB 1180 amended Section 116407 of the CHSC and added section 13521.2 to the Water Code. AB 1180 requires that the CCCPH include provisions for the use of a swivel or changeover device (swivel-ell), see CCCMP Appendix B.

Pursuant to sections 116407 and 116555.5 of the CHSC, the State Water Board chose to adopt standards for backflow protection and cross-connection control through the adoption of this State CCCPH, which became effective July 1, 2024.

• The State Water Board is required to adopt regulations for the control of cross- connections that it determines to be necessary for ensuring PWSs “distribute a reliable and adequate supply of pure, wholesome, potable, and healthy water.” (CHSC section 116375, subd. (c).)
• Any person who owns a PWS is required to ensure that the distribution system will not be subject to backflow under normal operating conditions. (CHSC section 116555, subd. (a)(2).)

Prior to AB 1671 and the adoption of the State CCCPH, California’s regulations pertaining to cross-connection control were set forth in regulations in CCR Title 17, which were adopted in 1987 with minor revisions in 2000. Although still protective to public health, the CCR Title 17 cross-connection regulations required updating as both the drinking water and cross- connection control industries had evolved. This State CCCPH updates those regulations, which as previously noted are no longer operative following the adoption of the State CCCPH.

The State Water Board may update its standards for backflow protection and cross- connection control through revisions of the State CCCPH. Prior to adopting substantive revisions to the State CCCPH, the State Water Board will consult with state and local agencies and persons identified as having expertise on the subject by the State Water Board, and the State Water Board will hold at least one public hearing to consider public comments.

City of Buena Park CCCMP – June 2025 2-1 2 Hazard Assessments and Required Protection
In accordance with the State CCCPH, Section 3.1.3 (a)(3) – Hazard Assessments, Section 3.1.4 (b)(2), and Section 3.2.1 – The City must survey its service area and conduct hazard assessments per Article 2 of the State CCCPH that identifies actual or potential cross-connection hazards, degree of hazard, and any backflow protection needed.

2.1 Hazard Assessments

a. To evaluate the potential for backflow into the City’s water distribution system the City must conduct an initial hazard assessment of the user premises within its service area.

The hazard assessment must consider:

1. The existence of cross-connections;

2. the type and use of materials handled and present, or likely to be, on the user premises;

3. the degree of piping system complexity and accessibility;

4. access to auxiliary water supplies, pumping systems, or pressure systems;

5. distribution system conditions that increase the likelihood of a backflow event (e.g., hydraulic gradient differences impacted by main breaks and high water - demand situations, multiple service connections that may result in flow-through conditions, etc.);

6. user premises accessibility;

7. any previous backflow incidents on the user premises; and

8. the requirements and information provided in the State CCCPH, and the City’s CCCMP.

b. Each hazard assessment must identify the degree of hazard to the City’s distribution system as either a high hazard cross -connection, a low hazard cross - connection, or having no hazard. Examples of some high hazard cross-connection activities may be found in CCCMP Appendix E.

c. The hazard assessment must determine whether an existing BPA, if any, provides adequate protection based on the degree of hazard.

d. Hazard assessments completed prior to the adoption of the State CCCPH may be considered as an initial hazard assessment provided that such hazard assessments and associated backflow protection provide protection consistent with the State CCCPH and the City describes their review of these assessments in the City’s CCCMP.

e. Subsequent to the initial hazard assessment described in subsection (a), the City must perform a hazard assessment under the following criteria:

1. if a user premises changes account holder, excluding single-family residences;

2. if a user premises is connected to the City’s water distribution system;

3. if evidence exists of changes in the activities or materials on a user’s premises; City of Buena Park Cross Connection Control Management Plan (CCCMP)

City of Buena Park CCCMP – June 2025 2-2

4. if backflow from a user’s premises occurs;

5. periodically, as identified in the City’s CCCMP required pursuant to State CCCPH section 3.1.4.;

6. if the State Water Board requests a hazard assessment of a user’s premises; or

7. if the City concludes an existing hazard assessment may no longer accurately represent the degree of hazard.

f. A cross-connection control specialist must review or conduct each initial and follow-up hazard assessment pursuant to this section and make a written finding that, in the specialist’s judgment based on cross -connection control principles, the City’s hazard assessment properly identified all hazards at the time of the assessment, the appropriate degree of hazards, and the corresponding backflow protection.

2.2 Hazard Assessment Process
In order to assess each connection in the City’s water distribution system for potential cross connection the City will undertake assessments in the following phases. As part of the hazard assessment process the City has created a tracking system for the assessments made under the CCCMP. See CCCMP Appendix F.

Data will be gathered and logged into the assessment database in three phases.

• Phase 1 - All connections with existing BPA at the meter connection • Phase 2 - All CII connections without BPA at the meter connection • Phase 3 – Residential connections with AMI meters without BPA

2.2.1 Phase 1 - Connections with Backflow Protection
The City currently has 924 commercial/industrial sites with backflow protection installed at the meter as of 6/19/2025. For Commercial/Industrial sites with backflow protection the City will enter each address into the assessment tracking system indicating what type of BPA has been installed. The City’s Cross Connection Control Specialist will review the data when entered into the assessment database to verify that an appropriate BPA has been installed on the meter connection. The Cross Connection Control Specialist’s review date will be noted in the assessment database.

It is assumed that a Cross Connection Control Specialist can process ( 3) connections with an approved BPA at the meter per available hour, and the total number of annual Cross Connection Control Specialist available hours is 93 hrs./yr (5% of total annual 1,867 hrs., based 2,080 hrs./yr less 80 hrs./yr for vacation, 45 hrs./yr for sick leave, and 88 hrs./yr for holidays) for a total of 279 existing connections per year per Cross Connection Control Specialist assigned by the City to cross connection control.

Based on the availability of the Cross Connection Control Project Specialist t he City has determined that this phase of the assessments can be completed within 3 years and 4 months from the adoption of the City’s CCCMP.

City of Buena Park Cross Connection Control Management Plan (CCCMP)

City of Buena Park CCCMP – June 2025 2-3

2.2.2 Phase 2 - Commercial/Industrial Connections without Backflow Protection The City currently has 149 commercial/industrial sites without backflow protection installed at the meter as of 6/19/2025 . For those commercial/industrial connections without an approved BPA the City will provide a self-reporting letter to provide information regarding onsite conditions which would necessitate the installation of an approved BPA at the meter connection. The self- reporting letters will be distributed via direct mail.

The self-reporting letters would be reviewed based on the available Cross Connection Control Specialist hours to review and process commercial/industrial self -reporting letters and the expected percent of self-reporting letters returned per distribution.

It is assumed that a Cross Connection Control Specialist can process ( 3) self-reporting letters per available hour, and the total number of annual Cross Connection Control Specialist available hours is 93 hrs./yr (5% of total annual 1,867 hrs., based 2,080 hrs./yr less 80 hrs./yr for vacation, 45 hrs./yr for sick leave, and 88 hrs./yr for holidays) for a total of 279 self-reporting letters per year per Cross Connection Control Specialist assigned by the City to cross connection control.

• If the Cross Connection Control Specialist determines that based on the self -reporting letter that an approved BPA is not required, they will note that in the assessment database and the reason for not requiring an approved BPA.

• If the Cross Connection Control Specialist determines that based on the self -reporting letter that an approved BPA is required, they will note that in the assessment database and notify the commercial/industrial customer that an approved BPA must be installed at the meter connection and note that determination in the assessment database.

The City has determined that this phase of the assessments can be completed within 6 months from the completion of Phase 1.

2.2.3 Phase 3 – Residential Connections with AMI meters without Backflow Protection
The City currently has 17,561 residential sites without backflow protection installed at the meter as of 6/19/2025. For those residential connections the City will assess each site by means of office-based tools such as:

• Reviewing sites via Google Maps or other aerial photography software • Reviewing tract maps to review blocks of residential customer in a common building area or zone.
• Using meter route maps or other billing information databases.

City of Buena Park Cross Connection Control Management Plan (CCCMP)

City of Buena Park CCCMP – June 2025 2-4 The office-based assessment will review sites for:

• Private water wells
• Other auxiliary water supplies
• Sewer lift stations
• Graywater systems

The office-based assessments would be conducted based on the available Cross Connection Control Specialist hours to review the office-based databases and/or files.

• If the Cross Connection Control Specialist determines that based on the office -based assessment that an approved BPA is not required, they will note that in the assessment database.

• If the Cross Connection Control Specialist determines that based on the office-based that an approved BPA is required, they will note that in the assessment database and notify the residential customer that an approved BPA must be installed at the meter connection and note that the customer has been contacted in the assessment database.

It is assumed that a Cross Connection Control Speci alist can process (25) existing residential connections with AMI meters installed per available hour, and the total number of annual Cross Connection Control Specialist available hours is 93 hrs./yr (5% of total annual 1,867 hrs., based 2,080 hrs./yr less 80 hrs./yr for vacation, 45 hrs./yr for sick leave, and 88 hrs./yr for holidays) for a total of 2,325 existing residential connections equipped with AMI meters per year per Cross Connection Control Specialist assigned by the City to cross connection control.

Based on the availability of the Cross Connection Control Project Specialist the City has determined that this phase of the assessments can be completed w ithin 7 years and 6 months from the completion of Phase 2.

The City has not required any user supervisors for use sites within the City.

City of Buena Park Cross Connection Control Management Plan (CCCMP)

City of Buena Park CCCMP – June 2025 11-1 11 Backflow Prevention Assembly Testing and Reporting In accordance w ith the State CCCPH, Section 3.1.3 (a)(6) – the City must ensure that each BPA required by the CCCMP to protect the City’s domestic water system is field tested. The City must develop and implement a procedure for ensuring all BPAs are field tested, inspected, and maintained and AG’s are inspected and maintained in accordance with the State CCCPH, Section 3.3.3.

1. All BPAs installed in the City in compliance with it CCCMP must be field tested following installation, repair, depressurization for winterizing, or permanent relocation.

All required field testing must be performed by certified backflow prevention assembly tester.

2. BPAs must be field tested at least annually. The State CCCPH does not preclude the City, the State Water Board, or a local health agency from requiring more frequent field testing for premises with high hazard cross -connection or BPA at increased risk of testing failure.

3. Air-gap separations must be visually inspected at least annually by a certified as backflow prevention assembly tester or certified as a cross-connection control specialist.

4. The City must receive passing field tests before providing continuous service to a water user with a newly installed BPA.

5. BPAs that fail the field test must be repaired or replaced within 30 days of notification of the failure by the City . Extensions may be allowed by the City if there are mitigating circumstances, at the discretion of the Cross Connection Control Specialist.

Backflow prevention assembly testers must notify the City within one day if a backflow incident or an unprotected cross-connection is observed at the BPA or prior to the user premises during field testing. The City will immediately investigate and discontinue service to the user premises if a backflow incident is confirmed, and water service will not be restored to that user premises until the City receives a confirmation of a passing BPA field test from a backflow prevention assembly tester and the assembly is protecting the City.

11.1 Backflow Testing Notification Process

For each BPA in the City’s water distribution system, an annual notice that the BPA must be tested in accordance with the CCCMP will be (how distributed?)

Upon receipt, the Owner will have (how long?) to have the BPA tested by a certified backflow assembly tester, and the test results submitted to the City (how?)

City of Buena Park Cross Connection Control Management Plan (CCCMP)

City of Buena Park CCCMP – June 2025 11-2 Each water user with a BPA on the service connection must comply with the following schedule in order to be in compliance with the CCCMP and continue to receive water service from the City.

• First Notice - Mailed letter requesting testing of device, 30 days prior to due date. Our due date will be July 1 st yearly. Grace period will be given if test is performed within the 6 months prior to due date for following year.

• Second Notice - Notice is mailed 15 days after due date when we have not received completed test or failed test. The notice is a reminder of the testing requirement, and if failure needs repair/replace to pass.

• Third Notic - Notice is mailed 15 days after 2nd if no reply, with a statement that the water maybe turned off for noncompliance with the testing requirements.

• Fourth Notice - Notice is an onsite visit with a door hanger which will be completed within 30 days after 3rd notice and a 24-hour contact period or water will be turned off.

11.2 Damaged, missing, or improperly installed backflow prevention assemblies.

In the event that a backflow prevention assembly is missing (or stolen), installed incorrectly, illegally modified, or tampered with, the City shall implement the following actions.

The City will notify the user that BPAs that are missing (or stolen), installed incorrectly, illegally modified, or tampered with must be repaired or replaced within 30 days of notification of the failure by the City . Extensions may be allowed by the City if there are mitigating circumstances, at the discretion of the Cross Connection Control Specialist.

What is a Cross Connection?

City of Buena Park Cross Connection Control Management Plan (CCCMP)

City of Buena Park CCCMP – June 2025
Appendix A
Background on Backflow Protection and Cross-Connection Control

A.1 What is a Cross-Connection?
A cross-connection is an interconnection between a potable water supply and a non - potable source via any actual or potential connection or structural arrangement between a PWS and any source or distribution system containing liquid, gas, or other substances not from an approved water supply. Bypass arrangements, jumper connections, removable sections, swivel or change-over devices and other temporary or permanent devices through which, or because of which backflow can occur are considered to be cross-connections.1 The State CCCPH includes acceptable installation criteria for swivel -ell and other types of backflow prevention assemblies (BPAs) to prevent backflow.

Backflow is the undesired or unintended reversal of flow of water and/or other liquids, gases, or other substances into a PWS’s distribution system or approved water supply.

The presence of a cross-connection represents a location in a distribution system through which backflow of contaminants or pollutants can occur. Backflow occurs when a non-potable source is at a greater pressure than the potable water distribution system. Backflow can occur from either backsiphonage or backpressure. Backsiphonage occurs when a non -potable source enters the drinking water supply due to negative (i.e., sub -atmospheric) distribution system pressure. Backpressure occurs when the pressure from a non -potable source exceeds the pressure in the potable water distribution system.

Backsiphonage may be caused by a variety of circumstances, such as main breaks, flushing, pump failure, or emergency firefighting water demand. Backpressure may occur when heating, cooling, waste disposal, or industrial manufacturing systems are connected to potable supplies and the pressure in the external system exceeds the pressure in the distribution system. Both situations act to change the direction of water, which normally flows from the distribution system to the customer, so that non -potable substances from ind ustrial, commercial, or residential premises flows back into the distribution system through a cross-connection.

Cross-connections are not limited to industrial or commercial facilities. Submerged inlets are found on many common plumbing fixtures and are sometimes necessary features of the fixtures if they are to function properly. Examples of this type of design are siphon-jet urinals or water closets, flushing rim slop sinks, and dental cuspidors.

Older bathtubs and lavatories may have supply inlets below the flood level rims, but modern sanitary design has minimized or eliminated this cross-connection in new fixtures. Chemical and industrial process vats sometimes have submerged inlets where the water pressure is used as an aid in diffusion, dispersion, and agitation of the vat contents. Even though a supply pipe may be installed above a vat, backsiphonage can still occur. Siphon action has been shown to raise a liquid in a pipe such as water almost 34 feet. Some submerged inlets are difficult to control, including those which are not apparent until a significant change in water level occurs or where a supply may be conveniently extended below the liquid surface by means of a hose or auxiliary piping. A submerged inlet may be created in numerous ways, and its detection may be difficult.

City of Buena Park Cross Connection Control Management Plan (CCCMP)

City of Buena Park CCCMP – June 2025
Chemical and biological contaminants have caused illness and deaths during known incidents of backflow, with contamination affecting several service connections, and the number of incidents reported is believed to be a small percentage of the total number of backflow incidents that actually occur. The public health risk from cross-connections and backflow is a function of a variety of factors including cross-connection and backflow occurrence and type and amount of contaminants.

A.2 Purpose of a Cross-Connection Control Program
The purpose of a cross-connection control program is to prevent the occurrence of backflow into a PWS’s distribution system in order to protect customers from contamination or pollution from any on-site hazards. Properly installed and maintained BPAs, devices or methods provide protection against the threat posed by many conditions typically found on a user’s premise.

The use of approved BPAs ensures that the appropriate performance evaluation of the assembly was conducted. It is important and required by the State CCCPH to select and properly install an approved BPA that is capable of protecting the distribution system from the hazard identified.

The success of a program depends on individuals that are knowledgeable about cross - connection control to identify actual and potential hazards, apply principles of backflow protection and prevention, and implement cross -connection control policies and procedures. A successful program will have ongoing surveillance of a PWS to ensure BPAs, devices or methods are working and identify new hazards or changes in the distribution system. Certified specialists are needed to properly evaluate the degree of hazard that exists in the distribution system. Hazards typically identified in distribution systems along with the required level of protection are specified in Chapter 3 of the State CCCPH.

A.3 Notes on Applicability of the Cross-Connection Control Policy Handbook The State CCCPH provides the basis for regulating the use and management of cross - connection control programs and BPAs in PWSs, and related requirements for supporting programs and policies. Activities or uses outside of the scope of the authority of the State Water Board to regulate PWSs are not regulated by the State CCCPH, including California Plumbing Code requirements and definitions not related to PWSs.

Recycled water cross-connection control installations and programs for the purposes of protecting the recycled water supply are not regulated by the State CCCPH, although a PWS that uses recycled water is regulated by the State CCCPH to ensure that a PWS’s drinking water system has adequate backflow protection from a recycled water system.

Water systems that do not meet the definition of a PWS ( e.g., “State Small Water Systems” under CCR Title 22, Article 3) are not regulated by the CCCPH, although they may need to comply with the California Plumbing Code, local health agencies, and other laws or entities.

Assembly Bill No. 1671
CHAPTER 533

An act to amend Section 116810 of, and to add Sections 116407 and 116555.5 to, the Health and Safety Code, relating to drinking water.

[Approved by Governor October 6, 2017. Filed with Secretary of State October 6, 2017.]
legislative counsel’s digest
AB 1671, Caballero. Backflow protection and cross-connection controls:
standards.
(1) Existing law, the California Safe Drinking Water Act, requires the State Water Resources Control Board to administer provisions relating to the regulation of drinking water to protect public health, including, but not limited to, conducting research, studies, and demonstration projects relating to the provision of a dependable, safe supply of drinking water, enforcing the federal Safe Drinking Water Act, adopting regulations, and conducting studies and investigations to assess the quality of private domestic water wells. Existing law makes certain violations of the act a misdemeanor.

Existing law requires any person who owns a public water system to ensure that the system does certain things, including, but not limited to, that it will not be subject to backflow under normal operating conditions. Existing law, to ensure that testing and maintenance of backflow prevention devices are performed by persons qualified to do testing and maintenance, authorizes local health officers to maintain programs for certification of backflow prevention device testers and requires the certification program to be consistent with backflow protection regulations adopted by the state board. A violation of these provisions, or an order by a local health officer pursuant to these provisions, is a misdemeanor.

This bill would require a public water system to implement a cross- connection control program that complies with, and would require the certification program to be consistent with, applicable regulations and the standards described in (2).
(2) Existing regulations establish standards for a backflow prevention device and cross-connection control.

This bill, on or before January 1, 2020, would require the state board to adopt standards for backflow protection and cross -connection control and would authorize the state board to do so through the adoption of a policy handbook, as specified. By authorizing the state board to adopt standards, the violation of which would be a crime, the bill would create a new crime and impose a state-mandated local program.

(3) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.

This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:

SECTION 1. Section 116407 is added to the Health and Safety Code, to read:
116407. (a) On or before January 1, 2020, the state board shall adopt standards for backflow protection and cross-connection control.
(b) The state board may implement subdivision (a) through the adoption of a policy handbook that is not subject to the requirements of Chapter 3.5 (commencing with Section 11340) of Part 1 of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code. The policy handbook shall include standards for backflow protection and cross -connection control. In developing the standards and any amendments to those standards, the state board shall consult with state and local agencies and other persons whom the state board has identified as having expertise in the subject of backflow protection and cross-connection control.

The state board shall hold at least two public hearings before adopting the policy handbook. The policy handbook shall be posted on the board’s Internet Web site. (c) (1) Upon the effective date of a policy handbook adopted by the state board pursuant to subdivision (b), the regulations set forth in Article 1 (commencing with Section 7583) and Article 2 (commencing with Section 7601) of Group 4 of Subchapter 1 of Chapter 5 of Division 1 of Title 17 of the California Code of Regulations shall become inoperative, and, 90 days thereafter, are repealed, unless the state board makes a determination not to repeal a specific regulation. (2) If the state board determines not to repeal a specific regulation pursuant to paragraph (1), the state board shall provide to the Office of Administrative Law and the Secretary of State written notice of its determination, including identification of the specific regulation that is not repealed. That regulation, upon the provision of that written notice to the Office of Administrative Law and the Secretary of State, shall become operative.

SEC. 2. Section 116555.5 is added to the Health and Safety Code, to read:
116555.5. A public water system shall implement a cross -connection control program that complies with applicable regulations and with standards adopted by the board pursuant to Section 116407.

SEC. 3. Section 116810 of the Health and Safety Code is amended to read:
116810. To ensure that testing and maintenance of backflow prevention devices are performed by persons qualified to do testing and maintenance,

94 City of Buena Park Cross Connection Control Management Plan (CCCMP)

City of Buena Park CCCMP – June 2025
— 3 — Ch. 533

local health officers may maintain programs for certification of backflow prevention device testers. The local health officer may suspend, revoke, or refuse to renew the certificate of a tester, if, after a hearing before the local health officer or his or her designee, the local health officer or his or her designee finds that the tester has practiced fraud or deception or has displayed gross negligence or misconduct in the performance of his or her duties as a certified backflow prevention device tester. The local health officer may collect fees from certified testers to offset the cost of the certification program provided pursuant to this section. The certification standards shall be consistent with standards adopted by the state board pursuant to Section 116407 and any other applicable backflow protection regulations.

SEC. 4. No reimbursement is required by this act pursuant to Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California Constitution because the only costs that may be incurred by a local agency or school district will be incurred because this act creates a new crime or infraction, eliminates a crime or infraction, or changes the penalty for a crime or infraction, within the meaning of Section 17556 of the Government Code, or changes the definition of a crime within the meaning of Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California Constitution.

CHAPTER 455

An act to amend Section 116407 of the Health and Safety Code, and to add Section 13521.2 to the Water Code, relating to water.

[Approved by Governor October 2, 2019. Filed with Secretary of State October 2, 2019.]
legislative counsel’s digest
AB 1180, Friedman. Water: recycled water.
(1) Existing law, the California Safe Drinking Water Act, requires the State Water Resources Control Board to administer provisions relating to the regulation of drinking water to protect public health. Existing law requires, on or before January 1, 2020, the state board to adopt standards for backflow protection and cross-connection control through the adoption of a policy handbook, as specified.

This bill would require that handbook to include provisions for the use of a swivel or changeover device to supply potable water to a dual-plumbed system during an interruption in recycled water service.
(2) Existing law requires the state board to establish uniform statewide recycling criteria for each varying type of use of recycled water where the use involves the protection of public health.

This bill would require the state board, on or before January 1, 2023, as specified, to update the uniform statewide criteria for nonpotable recycled water uses.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:

SECTION 1. The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:
(a) On December 11, 2018, the State Water Resources Control Board unanimously adopted an amendment to the policy for water quality control for recycled water, which included a goal to increase the use of recycled water in the state from 714,000 acre -feet per year in 2015 to 1,500,000 acre -feet per year by 2020 and 2,500,000 acre-feet per year by 2030.
(b) Section 13521 of the Water Code requires the state board to establish uniform statewide recycling criteria for each varying type of use of recycled water where the use involves the protection of public health.
(c) The regulations establishing the uniform statewide criteria for recycled water uses are set forth in Chapter 3 (commencing with Section 60301.050) of Division 4 of Title 22 of the California Code of Regulations. The regulations that pertain to nonpotable recycled water uses have not been updated since 2000.

95 City of Buena Park Cross Connection Control Management Plan (CCCMP)

City of Buena Park CCCMP – June 2025
Ch. 455 — 2 —

(d) The regulations relating to backflow protection and cross-connection control for recycled water are set forth in Article 1 (commencing with Section 7583) and Article 2 (commencing with Section 7601) of Group 4 of Subchapter 1 of Chapter 5 of Division 1 of Title 17 of the California Code of Regulations. These regulations have not been updated since 1987.

APPROVAL OF REVISED ENVIRONMENTALLY PREFERABLE PURCHASING POLICY (EPPP) INACCORDANCE WITH SB 1383 REQUIREMENTS

PREPARED BY PRESENTED BY
Laurie Aubuchon, Senior Management AnalystLaurie Aubuchon, Senior Management Analyst

DEPARTMENT HEAD APPROVAL CITY MANAGER APPROVAL
Mina Mikhael, Director of Public Works/City Engineer Aaron France, City Manager

RECOMMENDED ACTION
1) Approve an update to the Environmentally Preferable Purchasing Policy (EPPP) that incorporates requirements set forth by California Senate Bill 1383 (SB 1383).

PREVIOUS CITY COUNCIL ACTION
None.

DISCUSSION
In September 2016, Governor Brown signed Senate Bill (SB) 1383 into law, which established methane emission reduction targets for the state, and includes significant requirements associated with local jurisdictions' procurement of organic waste products and recycled content paper products.

Speciﬁcally in the area of organic waste, cities are required to annually procure a quantity of recovered organic waste products (e.g. compost, mulch, renewable gas, or electricity from biomass conversion) that meets or exceeds their current annual recovered organic waste product procurement target. SB 1383’s implementation Administrative Regulations (“Regulations”) require cities that choose to procure mulch as a means of satisfying their procurement requirements to set speciﬁc standards for that mulch by ordinance or other enforceable mechanisms, such as a contract. In addition to the procurement of organic waste products, SB 1383 builds upon existing laws that require jurisdictions to purchase products that contain a minimum recycled content, and adds additional requirements on product recyclability and recordkeeping.

SB 1383 requires jurisdictional compliance with recycled-content paper procurement requirements for two categories: printing and writing paper, and paper products. This requires the City of Buena Park to purchase recycled products instead of non-recycled products whenever recycled products are available at the same or lesser total cost than non-recycled items, if suitability and quality are equal. The Regulations also mandate the City to require the businesses from which it purchases paper products to certify in writing the minimum percentage of post-consumer material in its paper products sold or offered to the jurisdiction.

SB 1383’s Regulations also require local jurisdictions maintain detailed records and annual reports demonstrating compliance with procurement mandates. The City is required to maintain records and documentation, including copies of receipts (or other proof of purchases) to show the City has purchased paper meeting the speciﬁed recycled content standard, as well as the organic waste procurement target. California's Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) has the ability to assess ﬁnes ranging from $500 to $10,000 per day for noncompliance, depending on the severity of the violation. Upon request by CalRecycle, the City shall provide access to its records within ten business days.

On June 1, 2022, City Manager France approved the adoption of an Environmentally Preferable Purchasing Policy (EPPP) for Buena Park. (Attachment 2).The purpose of the EPPP is to promote and expand the organization’s usage of environmentally friendly goods and services. This entails purchasing and utilizing goods and services that minimize adverse environmental impacts during their manufacture, use, transportation, packaging, and disposal, as well as their potential for recycling or reuse.

Given the new procurement targets and standards established by SB 1383’s Regulations, it is appropriate to amend the City’s current EPPP. City staff have prepared a draft update to the EPPP intended to aid the City with all purchasing decisions. The proposed policy update is attached for the City Council’s consideration (Attachment 1), and not only complies with SB 1383 but also encourages environmentally and sustainably preferable purchasing across all City departments, saving resources, preventing environmental degradation, and lowering greenhouse gas emissions.

The policy updates will support the City’s compliance with the Regulations in the areas of organic waste product procurement and recycled-content paper requirements. Beyond SB 1383 compliance, an additional update was incorporated into the Policy to address City facilities ceasing the procurement of products made of polystyrene.

City staff shared proposed revisions to the Policy with the Purchasing Manager and Sustainability Manager.

Although procurement is decentralized across City Departments, many current purchases meet the recycled- content paper product requirements. For example, all bulk paper ordered for City Hall is supplied by a vendor that meets these requirements. Since this Policy will be adopted by the City Council, all City employees will be required to follow it. Adopting the revisions to the EPPP will help the City comply with SB 1383 Regulations, promote healthier City facilities, enable coordinated and cost-effective purchasing, and demonstrate to the public and private sectors that green purchasing practices are feasible, affordable, CO2-eﬃcient, and visually appealing, all while beneﬁting the environment.

BUDGET IMPACT
The requirements of this EPPP update will have fiscal impacts to the City, but the magnitude of those impacts are unknown at this time. It is anticipated that there are no additional costs to the City for procuring recycled content paper products and printing and writing paper. The City will not incur additional product tracking and reporting costs related to procurement, as the City utilizes internal staff for reporting. City Purchasing, Public Works, and Sustainability staff are responsible for reporting and implementation.

Section 1. Purpose
Environmentally preferred purchasing means products or services that have a reduced effect on human health and the environment when compared to competing products or services that serve the same purpose. Environmentally preferred purchasing considers both cost and the environmental impacts of a product or service. The success of an environmentally preferred purchasing program is dependent on the collective effort and commitment of all City staff who are involved with the procurement of goods and services.

The purpose of this policy is to support the purchase of recycled and environmentally preferred products to minimize environmental impacts relating to City work. The Purchasing Division recognizes City of Buena Park employees can make a difference in favor of environmental quality and the goal of this Environmentally Preferable Purchasing Policy (“EPPP” or simply “policy”) is to prompt all City staff involved in the procurement of goods and services to use environmental responsibility as a factor in their purchasing decisions.

This EPPP has been updated to comply with State requirements as contained in 14 CCR Division 7, Chapter 12, Article 12 (SB 1383 procurement regulations), which requires the procurement of a specified amount of Recovered Organic Waste Products to support Organic Waste disposal reduction targets and markets for products made from recycled and recovered Organic Waste materials, and to purchase Recycled-Content Paper Products and Recycled-Content Printing and Writing Paper.

Section 2. Scope
This EPPP addresses procurement of:
 Office supplies/equipment
 Cleaning and landscaping supplies
 Water and energy conservation products
 Printing and mail supplies, including paper products
 Mulch or compost for landscaping projects

DISCUSSION
Background:

Beginning in 1999, the Community Development, Public Works and Finance Departments utilized a permitting system called Permits Plus to administer and track permits, code enforcement cases, planning entitlements, business licenses, and public works permits. Around 2015, Accela, the parent company of Permits Plus, notiﬁed its clients that it will no longer be providing maintenance, updates or support for the Permits Plus software platform.

In response to this potential disruption in a critical element of its daily service to the city, the Community Development Department sought out a new permitting and land management system to replace Permits Plus. As a result of the budgetary constraints at that time, Community Development selected a company called ViewPoint Cloud (now OpenGov) to provide permitting and land management services for Planning, Building and Code Enforcement. Public Works and Finance elected to continue to use Permits Plus for their permitting and business license needs.

Community Development went "live" on the ViewPoint Cloud platform in 2016. While this software has generally met the needs of the Planning Division, the Building and Code Enforcement divisions have had ongoing challenges conﬁguring ViewPoint Cloud to meet the needs of City staff as well as the public. These challenges were magniﬁed during the early years of COVID when it became clear that the City needed to make substantial enhancements to its online services and processes. While the Planning Division processes most of its applications and plan reviews online, the Building, Code Enforcement, Business License and Public Works services still rely on a mostly paper- based, in-person process. An updated online permitting and land management system with electronic plan review will streamline the plan submittal, review and permit processes, as well as enhance the business license process, and increase transparency to the public. It will also provide a more eﬃcient way to communicate with project applicants and other agencies. The new online permitting and licensing software will also allow all users to manage data and workﬂows more eﬃciently and update the system’s information in real time. Through this new system, the City intends to expand the number of "instant permits" that it will offer, which require little-to-no review by City staff and will allow homeowners and business owners to submit, process, pay for, and print their permits without ever having to leave their home or business.

A request for proposals (RFP) for a new permitting and land management system was released on January 7, 2025, and responses were received from multiple vendors on February 10, 2025. Seven (7) companies submitted proposals (with prices ranging from $371,476 to $787,712 for implementation and the ﬁrst-year subscription). The following is a list of the companies who submitted proposals:

EdgeSoft, Inc.

Avocette
Mainstar
OpenGov
Tyler Technologies
MCCi
IK Consulting

The evaluation committee was comprised of representatives from Community Development (Building, Planning, Code Enforcement Divisions), Public Works and Finance, who were responsible for reviewing and evaluating the proposals based on qualiﬁcations, proposed team and organization, work plan, and costs. Based on the content of the proposals, the review team narrowed the ﬁeld of seven to the top four ﬁnalists. These four ﬁrms were then invited to provide demonstration videos of their product by division for consideration by the evaluation committee.

Following the review and scoring of the demonstration videos, additional on-site demonstrations were provided prior to the evaluation committee reaching a ﬁnal recommended vendor.

The evaluation committee determined that EdgeSoft, Inc. will meet the City’s needs within the timeline and budget that have been identiﬁed for this project. EdgeSoft has 20 years of experience in California. Some of EdgeSoft’s partner cities include Beverly Hills, Burbank, Glendale and Norwalk. The new software runs on Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud which provides the highest level of security required for government agencies. Planning, Building, Code Enforcement and Public Works inspectors will be able to complete work in the ﬁeld using mobile devices and the public portal will allow residents, business owners, and contractors to submit applications and pay the associated fees online. Included in the scope of services is a requirement to convert all the historic data currently stored in Permits Plus and OpenGov into the new permitting software. This will provide City staff and the public with a single location to see the complete planning, permitting, business license and inspection history on a property from a single system. Also included in the scope of work is the conversion of the building plan check to an online, electronic plan check process. This will allow applicants to submit electronic plans to the city for review 24/7, saving both customer and staff time and reducing the amount of paper waste generated. The projected timeline for the design, implementation and deployment of the new permitting system is 10-12 months after the project kick-off date.

BUDGET IMPACT
The total amount referenced in the Professional Services Agreement ($893,732) includes not only the initial design and implementation ($477,388), but also the ﬁrst ﬁve years of annual subscription and a 15% contingency for the implementation portion. The design and implementation, including the contingency, are budgeted within the Financial Management and Utility Billing System Replacement Project (Account No. 74-190062-9806). Future annual subscriptions post "go-live" will be budgeted by the City’s IT internal service fund and will be processed under separate purchase orders on an annual basis.

City of Buena Park

Buena Park, CA 90622
Mr. Averell,
We are excited to respond to the City of Buena Park's Request for Proposal (RFP) for a cloud- based Land Management and Permitting Solution. We offer a robust solution, designed to align with the City’s objectives of improving operational efficiency, automating essential business processes, and optimizing workflows for permitting, planning, code enforcement, public works and business license.

Experience in Municipal Solutions
Edgesoft Inc. (doing business as Saira Solutions www.sairasolutions.com), is a Southern California-based technology solutions company providing best-in-class, city government enterprise solutions since 1997 to different sized cities.

In 2001, the City of Beverly Hills recognized our diverse experience working with Fortune 500 companies such as Baxter, Hyundai and MGM, and began our 20+ year partnership in providing their municipal software needs that resulted in service delivery efficiency and improvements in customer engagement, to name a few. In 2006, EdgeSoft was honored by the California League of Cities with the Helen Putnam Award for our City of Beverly Hills implementation for improving efficiency and inter departmental coordination. We continue our partnership with the City of Beverly Hills to this day.

Other client partnerships include the City of Burbank (17 years), City of South Gate (10 years), City of San Fernando (15 years) and the City of Albuquerque (15 years).

In late 2021, the City of Norwalk, CA selected Edgesoft from a competitive pool of twenty-one vendors after an extensive evaluation process. City of Norwalk was gracious enough to include a piggyback clause for the California Cities.

In 2024, the City of Berkeley’s Toxics Management Division (Planning and Development) chose Edgesoft to implement the CUPA/CERS Solution. 3 | P a g e Proposal for Land Management System Software and Implementation Services Edgesoft Inc.

RFP Number: CED25-01
Key advantages for the Edgesoft/City of Buena Park partnership Our solution aligns with the City of Buena Park’s objectives outlined in the RFP, including:
 Improving Operations : Our Saira Reporting and Analytics is an advanced reporting tool designed to address the City’s need for distinct reports described in Attachment B of RFP, providing actionable insights for internal and external stakeholders.  Citizen Engagement : Our Ask SAIRA AI virtual assistant improves civic engagement, decreases Public Records Requests by 50% by offering quick answers and reducing administrative workload.
 Instant Permits(No-touch from the city): In addition to having a citizen portal for all permit and planning application, we provide easy-to-use instant permits (eg: water heater change out, Re-roof, Seismic retrofit etc). This feature has increased revenue for Southern California city clients Norwalk and Burbank.
 Executive sponsor and Subject matter experts: Our promise is smooth and efficient implementation by having the guidance of SMEs such as John Ramirez who can guide on the processes.
 Streamlined Operations : By automating manual tasks we reduce paper use and ensure smooth coordination across departments.
 Robust Integration: Our platform supports seamless integration with existing systems such as OpenGov and PermitPlus, and is fully compliant with industry standards, including GAAP, GASB, and PCI.
 SaaS Platform on AWS: Our ePALS solution offered in this proposal is a Software and Service (SaaS) platform solution , browser based and mobile compliant so it will not burden the city’s servers, computing hardware or IT infostructure.

2. Implementation plan and Timelines

2.1 Implementation plan

Edgesoft Inc.’s project approach and work plan for implementing the cloud-based Enterprise Permitting and Licensing (ePALS™) software solution, a web-based product, at the city of Buena Park includes all required and desired functional areas the city has communicated in the RFP. By migrating its existing data and including easy-to-use reporting tools will enable end users to efficiently access information and gain insight.

After careful evaluation of the city of Buena Park’s requirements, the Edgesoft Project Team believes that a solid city-vendor partnership is vital to this project’s success. During implementation, the city of Buena Park’s and Edgesoft Inc.’s team will work together to assess the effect that the ePALS™ software solution will have on the city of Buena Park’s way of doing business – from the standpoint of the users and the executive management team. Our collaboration lends a broader perspective to the task of providing not only software, but a true solution that addresses the impact of the product on the city of Buena Park’s staff and business processes. Our current customers have experienced Edgesoft Inc.’s method of assuring functionality with great satisfaction.

Edgesoft Inc. uses the industry-leading Amazon Web Services Cloud (AWS), which provides the underlying capacity, redundancy, and data protection for the vendor’s database systems. Using cloud-computing services, such as AWS, arguably provides the best protection for the city of Buena Park’s data. The city of Buena Park’s data is hosted in a datacenter in California. If this facility is damaged or destroyed, the city of Buena Park’s data is still safe and accessible because it is backed up in a different location. If City Hall is damaged and not operational, the department can quickly relocate to another facility and continue to function with new computers connected to the internet.

We will work together to ascertain the critical success factors and achieve the city of Buena Park’s operational requirements through the implementation of our proprietary ePALS™ software solution. We believe that this project will transform the city of Buena Park and strengthen its government operations and reputation through the delivery of superior web-based citizen services.

In order to achieve lasting and sustainable results, it is imperative to incorporate a comprehensive set of services and methodologies that addresses the technical, people, and process issues.

This enables tracking and maintaining all of the data for the property, the building, and its units for efficiency and effectiveness across all departments at the city of Buena Park. EdgeSoft Inc. will recommend best practices from similar sized municipalities to the city of Buena Park.

3.2 Technical Solution

3.2.1 ePALS™ Technology Solution
The solid foundation of the Land, Structure, and Occupancy (LSO) Model naturally provides for an order
ly progression of increasingly complex data. The LSO model is a primary resource for address, structure, and land use information, as well as owner/tenant, infrastructure, and asset information.

Each location in the LSO model has a unique identifier by which all activities related to that specific location are tracked administered.

The Projects, Subprojects, and Activities (PSA) st ructure allows the department to customize its activities, easily view all information at a Project level, and efficiently drill-down to sub-levels to view information. So, that ot her departments can review the processes and identify any interdepartmental issues before proceeding with activities.

Permits & Inspection Module – au tomates workflows related to bui lding permits, inspections, people and activities. It enables city staff wi thin the community development department and similar divisions to view, change, and print fee schedules, cashiering, payment transaction history, business tax/license information, and tr ack plan checks related to permits. Users can schedule, track, and maintain history of inspecti ons related to a specific location, as well as maintain lists of and links to external people associated with the city, such as owners, applicants, tenants, architects, and contractors.

Planning & Planner Update Module – automates th e processes and captures all the information related to th
e City of Buena Park’s planning activities. Functions include:
 Issuing, tracking, and logging planning cases
 Appointment scheduling
and notifications to reduce scheduling conflict for planning board hearings

Neighborhood Services (Code Enforcement) Module – tracks and maintains data related to code violations in the City of Buena Park. Users can id entify violations by parcel, provide notifications 30 | Page Proposal for Land Management System Software and Implementation Services Edgesoft Inc.

RFP Number: CED25-01
to responsible parties, generate and issue notice s, and establish follow-up inspection programs to ensure that the necessary corrections are made. The module also provides users with the ability to place a “hard,” “soft,” or “warning” hold on a Land, Structure or Occupancy level. When creating a code violation, the system validates data input and utilizes list-of-values based on a pull-down list to reduce human error in data entry.

Comment Module – protects comments and sketches from unauthorized changes with our built- in security feature. Comments are saved directly to the database instead of an insecure text file or to the PDF document, so they are protected should the PDF file become compromised. The City of Buena Park is able to access, organize, and report on all comments to allow external team members to reply to the reviewers’ comments.

Administration Section – has an innovative admin section for managing, configuring, and assigning various modules and flows
to administer to all departments. The administration section is intuitive and easy-to-use. Logs are captured in the event of failure and auto notifications are sent to the technical team, without the staff no tifying them to eliminate duplicate tickets and resolve the problem quicker.

PCI Compliance-Edgesoft Inc. is PCI compliant as we do not process or store any credit card information. It is all done through the payment gateway. The Edgesoft Inc. engineering team can provide technical ways when deployed in the code to make the users understand that only certain ports are allowed for authorizing paymen ts. We can also showcase the settings in the could for PCI compliance.

Conditions – an interdepartmental project manage ment tool that allows citywide centralized data management and ensures compliance with all permit conditions and regulatory restrictions.

A user would have the ability to assign conditions either at the LSO level or at the PSA level. Users have the ability to create a standard library of conditions which can be attached, or they can choose to enter custom conditions.

Fees and payments – a real-time centralize fee pr ocess and centraliz ed cashier module which is
able to integrate fees and payments with any existing financial systems. EPALS™ fee module has the ability to associate various fees to each permit type or sub-type. It can maintain different fee schedules for every fiscal year, and it can increase fees annually by a percentage. The fee module designates certain fees as required based on the permit with different phases of the project like plan check, permit, business tax, and development fees. It has the ability to calculate fees based on valuation, number of units and based on diffe rent ranges. It also has the ability to accept contractor deposits and use them for payments.

The upgrade will enhance the centralize cashier module to be able to take payments for multiple invoices across different activity types.

Holds – ePALS™ holds module has built-in logic that allows all departments to maintain holds on addresses, p
rojects, or activities. It also provides the abilities for different levels of holds, like soft and hard, at the LSO and PSA level. Holds, based on their severity, limit the functionality of the 31 | Page Proposal for Land Management System Software and Implementation Services Edgesoft Inc.

RFP Number: CED25-01
level where they are assigned and all the levels underneath them. The system provides the ability to track the ability of all holds from creation to release. The upgrade will also include email notifications for staff for approvals or notifications of the holds.

Inspections – ePALS™ housing and construction inspection module provides the ability t o schedule and maintain the history of inspections related to each activity. The inspection module allows users to schedule and track inspections based the permit type. It provides the abilities to create all the different inspection types that are associated with a permit, whether it is housing or construction. It allows the users to schedule inspections for current and future activities. It provides inspectors the ability to print field inspection reports which gives a complete history of the place to be inspected.

It provides inspectors the ability to route and schedule their inspections and gives them on all the relevant information they require for doing the onsite inspections. It also provides the ability to enter their inspection results and communicate them to the contractor in charge. The upgrade will allow for inspections to be transferred.

Digital Library – provides the ability to attach and view documents to any PSA or LSO level for historical record keeping.

Project Team – ePALS™ system provides the ability to maintain updated information of internal and extern
al people that are associated with various permits. It provides the ability to delegate internal team members to specific projects and activities. Based on the kind of activity this would include plan review engineers, permit technicians, inspectors, team leaders, planner, and etc. It also provides the ability to add and administer external team members for the project or activity.

Typically, this would include owners, contractors, engineers, designers, architects, tenants, and others.

Assessor Import and Export (Sync) – the assessor’s data synchronization module allows authorize city staff to browse, query, and upload the latest assessor informatio n as it relates to properties that fall within the city’s jurisdiction.

Business License – the module creates, tracks, i ssues, and maintains data related to business licenses in the city. Other vital reporting and fee functions including business license verification and reporting business tax payment status are included in the module.

GIS – Edgesoft Inc. can integrate with third-party GIS systems. The GIS locational science module will allow city staff to view propert
y parcels and permits by selecting an address range or a geometry scope on the map. This can also be helpful in routing inspections.

Code Violations – a module that tracks and maintain s data related to code violations in the city.

The exceptions to the uptime guarantee are: (1) internal network error, (2) internet downtime, (3) ePALS software not functioning due to application errors, which are handled through the Software Maintenance Agreement, (4) downtime due to periodic updates of ePALS software on evenings and weekends, and (5) any force majeure event or internet access or related problems, outside the control of Contractor.

 Response Time
i. Response time is based on Level of Reported Problem (LRP), as defined below.

ii. When a problem occurs, and COB (City of Buena Park) has adhered to the established procedures agreed to in SMA document. EdgeSoft’s response is, as follows:

50 | P a g e Proposal for Land Management System Software and Implementation Services Edgesoft Inc.

RFP Number: CED25-01

a) Acknowledgment within two (2) hours via telephone and/or e-mail (average acknowledgment response time is 45 minutes).
a) Based on LRP guidelines, unless agreed at the time of incident (average on-site response time within Los Angeles County is 4 hours). b) Based on LRP guidelines, unless agreed at the time of incident (average on-site response time within Los Angeles County is 4 hours).

 Level of reported problem (LRP)
Support issues reported by the Client will be dispatched to the appropriate EdgeSoft Support Associate, based on the level of reported problem.

LRP 1
An LRP 1 issue takes the highest priority at EdgeSoft. An LRP 1 issue is classified as an urgent call from the Client, whereby the production and operation of the system is reported as completely down. It is reported when the Client needs immediate attention from EdgeSoft.

When an LRP 1 call is placed to EdgeSoŌ, the dispatch operator will immediately contact and noƟfy the appropriate Support Associate. The Support Associate, or Support Manager, will contact the Client to determine the severity, cause and/or possible opƟons. The Support Manager will then determine what resources and experƟse are required and will expedite resoluƟon as quickly as possible. The Support Manager will closely monitor and manage the resources unƟl the LRP 1 call is completely resolved.

It is important that the Client understands that an LRP 1 call takes the highest priority from all personnel at EdgeSoft. Therefore, the Client must be conscientious when placing an LRP 1 call. LRP 1 calls are generally associated with major problems with the production system.

LRP 2
An LRP 2 issue reported is defined as a priority call and is classified as urgent, but not critical. A typical LRP 2 call is when the application/system is operational; however, one of the business processes is inoperable.

During an LRP 2 call, the dispatch operator will immediately contact the appropriate Support Associate. The Support Associate will attempt to resolve the problem via remote communications.

LRP 3
An LRP 3 call is defined as a Client experiencing an application problem and requires attention from EdgeSoft.

LRP 4
An LRP 4 call is defined as a Client having an application question.

AWS is one of the most secure cloud platforms, offering industry-leading security features, including encryption, multi-layered access controls, threat detection, and compliance with global security standards (e.g., ISO 27001, SOC 2, and GDPR). Despite these robust measures, in the unlikely event of a data security breach attributable to our negligence, we follow a structured incident response plan to mitigate risks, remediate the issue, and ensure compliance with regulatory and contractual obligations.

Remedies & Credits:
 Remediation at No Cost: All security vulnerabilities are addressed and resolved at no additional cost to the client.
 Service Credits: If the breach results in system downtime or data loss, we offer service credits as a form of compensation, These credits can be applied toward future change order requests, providing added value and flexibility for the City.  No Financial Compensation: While we take full responsibility for addressing and resolving any security breaches, no financial compensation will be provided.  Identity Protection & Support: If personal or sensitive data is compromised, we offer identity protection services (e.g., credit monitoring) to affected individuals, as applicable.
