TITLE: NOTICE OF COMPLETION - CDBG ALLEY PROJECT (G6220).
PAGE: 2
BACKGROUND
The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program provides annual grants on a formula basis to states, cities, and counties to develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing and a suitable living environment, and by expanding economic opportunities, principally for low- and moderate-income persons. The CDBG 2023-2024 One-Year Action Plan was approved by the City Council on May 2, 2023, and recommended funding for an alley improvement project. The City of Chino opted to select the alley North of Chino Avenue between 9th Street and 13th Street for the use of eligible funds.
On June 6, 2023, the City Council awarded a construction contract to Wheeler Pavi ng, Inc, Riverside, CA for $396,135 for the CD BG Alley Project (G6220). Additionally, the City Council authorized expenditures of up to $59,421 for project contingencies, bringing the total contract to an amount not to exceed $455,556.
All improvements within the project scope have been successfully constructed. The scope of work included a full depth alley pavement, including curb and gutter, alley approaches, and compliant accessibility ramps.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
All work has been completed per the terms of the original contract and approved change order.
The following is a summary of the final accounting of construction costs for the project.
The total contract change order amount is $1,790.11 (Less than 1 % of the total contract). Ten percent is generally considered within the normal range of changed conditions on a Public Works construction project , and by providing change order authority upfront, the City Council helps to reduce the possibility of delay on a construction project.

TITLE: VENDOR CAP INCREASE - TOWNER FILTRATION.
PAGE: 2
BACKGROUND
To maintain State -regulated water quality standards, City staff uses micron filter cartridges to remove fine debris particles from well water as the particles make their way through the water treatment process. The removal of these fine debris particles aids in the efficiency and effectiveness of the water treatment process.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
With the addition of water treatment facilities and the increase of water produced within the City, the need for micron filter cartridges has also increased. City staff has found a need to purchase the micron filter cartridges more frequently, causing the original budgeted amou nt to deplete at a faster rate than in previous years. Staff recommends an increase in the vendor cap with Towner Filtration by $13,000 for a new total vendor cap amount of $63,000. This increase is necessary to ensure an adequate supply of micron filter c artridges to maintain water quality standards. The City Council authorization is required as the combined total expenditures will exceed the $50,000 authorized to one vendor. This request does not require an additional appropriation, as the expenditures fall within the adopted budget.

TITLE: VENDOR CAP INCREASE - CITYGREEN CONSULTING, LLC.
PAGE: 2
BACKGROUND
The City is required to ensure that commercial properties comply with CalRecycle's requirements under Senate Bill (SB) 1383 Short -lived Climate Pollutants: Organic Waste Reduction. To assist with this, City staff plans to utilize CityGreen Consulting, LLC for SB 1383 program assistance services. These services will help City staff ensure that commercial properties meet compliance requirements through technical assistance and waste hauler support services.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
In addition to program assistance, CityGreen Consulting, LLC offers a software program designed to facilitate compliance with SB 1383 mandates. This software will be essential for City staff, providing tools for compliance tracking, record-keeping, reporting, and communication with haulers and vendors.
To implement the software program for commercial property compliance under SB 1383, staff recommends an increase in the vendor cap with CityGreen Consulting, LLC by $14,250 for a new total vendor cap amou nt of $64,250. The City Council authorization is required as the combined total expenditures for both the SB 1383 program assistance and software will exceed the $50,000 authorized to one vendor.

PULTE HOMES COMPANY, LLC, GENERALLY LOCATED SOUTH OF BICKMORE AVENUE,
NORTH OF PINE AVENUE, WEST OF RINCON MEADOWS, AND EAST OF FUTURE MAYHEW AVENUE IN THE PRESERVE SPECIFIC PLAN AREA.
PAGE: 2
BACKGROUND
On August 5, 2019, the Planning Commission approved Lewis Management Corporation’s (LMC) application for PL18 -0010 (Master Site Approval) and PL18 -0011 (Tentative Tract Map No. 20161), an “A” level subdivision for conveyance purposes and master plan for th e development of up to 494 residential units (Van Vliet project). This project is generally located south of Bickmore Avenue, north of Pine Avenue, west of Rincon Meadows, and east of future Mayhew Avenue.
Tract Map No. 20161 is an “A” level map that crea tes ten numbered lots and eight lettered lots for the Van Vliet project site. The numbered lots establish the parcels for the nine planning areas, which includes the approval of five “B” level tract maps to allow for the development by guest homebuilders for Tract Map Nos. 20169, 20170, 20171, 20172, and 20270. The “A” map also outlined the street systems that also support the overall development of Van Vliet. The lettered lots were created to accommodate the perimeter landscape areas that will be maintained by the Preserve Master Maintenance Corporation (PMMC). The 1.5 -acre basin and
2.58-acre lot for the Recreational Center were created as part of the previous map that was recorded for this project (Tract Map No. 17571). It should be noted that the Van Vli et Master Site Approval staff report briefly mentions a total of seven “B” level maps as part of the Van Vliet project area. Tract Maps Nos. 20173 and 20271 were filed as one map since the developments are the same 3 -story product type, sold to the same b uilder, and contiguous parcels. Tract Map No. 20173 was approved as part of separate action by the Planning Commission, and the public improvements constructed for this tract will be discussed in greater detail upon the final acceptance of public improvements, which will brought to the City Council at a later date.
Pulte Home Company, LLC (“Pulte”) has purchased Tract No. 20172 from LMC, which created 76 numbered lots and four lettered lots to accommodate the development of 76 single -family homes (Exhibit A).
The Engineering Conditions of Approval for this tract required Pulte to design and construct certain improvements expanding on the existing backbone infrastructure, including, but not limited to, potable water lines, streetlight improvements, street improvements, sewer improvements, and other infrastructure. These improvements are located on the following public streets: Grassland Ave, Pasture Ave, Botany St between Olive Grove Ave and Pasture Ave, and Meridian St between Osprey Ave and Pasture Ave. The public improvements completed by Pulte necessitated the execution of a Subdivision Improvement Agreement and posting securities that the City Council approved on December 15, 2020 (Exhibit B). It should be noted that the costs associated with the design and construction of the required public improvements are completely offset by the developer. There is no direct fiscal impact to the City.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
The public improvements completed have been constructed in compliance with the City’s standards/specifications, accessibility requirements, and to the satisfaction of the City Engineer.
The public improvements that are being accepted by the City of Chino include streets, sewer, and domestic water.
The developer fully funded all public improvements that were part of the conditions of approval for the Project.

TITLE: AMENDMENTS TO MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING AND SUMMARY OF BENEFITS.
PAGE: 2
BACKGROUND
In the course of reviewing provisions in the Memorandum of Understanding between the City and AFSCME and the Summary of Benefits for Unrepresented Sworn Management employees (which applies to the Chief of Police, Deputy Chief of Police, and Captain classif ications), it became evident that certain amendments are required in order to accurately reflect existing practices, obtain formal approval for new/existing programs and codify, by Resolution, prior approvals granted by the City Council which address terms and conditions of employment. The recommendations reflect the important role AFSCME’s members carry out in supporting operations and response to emergencies occurring in the City after hours and on weekends.
The recommendations for Unrepresented Sworn Em ployees are most accurately described as modifications to the existing Summary of Benefits so that it is in compliance with the City Council’s prior direction and the prevailing employment law. The impact on the 2023 -2025 Budget is not considered a factor as the costs were incorporated during its preparation as these changes reflect ongoing expenditures that were anticipated at the time estimates were prepared.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
The City maintains Stand -by/Call Back Duty Programs. Specifically, these pro vide for the rotation of well-trained and highly skilled employees to remain available to work after hours and on weekends for the purpose of responding to emergencies that arise and require immediate response or to handle designated duties that require da ily checks, for example, taking samples of water reserves to ensure their purity. Employees who are qualified to serve as Duty Personnel follow a strict set of rules with regard to response times, safety practices, and achieving customer satisfaction, amo ng others. In the course of meeting to discuss matters of mutual interest and importance with AFSCME representatives, it came to the City’s attention that, while the City Council has discussed the parameters of the Stand -by/Call Back Duty Program, identify ing the specifics was not documented. Therefore, a request is made to establish the following as authorized Duty Programs:
AFSCME
Building/Facilities Maintenance Duty Program
Water Equipment Maintenance Duty Program
Water Treatment Duty Program
Fleet Maintenance Duty Program
General Maintenance Duty Program (Streets, Grounds, etc.)
In comparing the Chief of Police’s Employment Agreement with the Summary of Benefits adopted by the City Council for that position, the following were found to be inconsistent and require correction:
Chief of Police
Adjust the Retirement Health Savings Plan contribution to make it equal to the contribution provided to the Deputy Chief of Police and Captain classifications.
Revise the Management Leave language to mirror the language provided to Executive Management Team members in their Summary of Benefits.

In 2015, the City of Chino underwent an audit by CalPERS. It is not uncommon for member agencies in CalPERS to be audited periodically. One of the findings of this audit w as that the City should not be reporting holiday hours as compensation for the Chief of Police. Since that time, there have been numerous far-reaching discussions regarding this determination such that it was unilaterally applied to the Deputy Chief of Pol ice and Captain as well as the Chief.
However, after extensive research, written communications with CalPERS representatives, and written legal opinions, the conclusion was reached that a) holiday hours remain not reportable as compensation for the positi on of Chief of Police; but b) holiday hours are reportable as compensation for the positions of Deputy Chief of Police and Captain (as well as other sworn personnel). The Chief of Police is the only position categorically prohibited from receiving this benefit. All other personnel work a regular schedule that includes working on City -designated holidays, therefore, their holiday hours worked are reportable as “PERSable income.” It is necessary to correct this section of the Summary of Benefits for Unrepres ented Sworn Management by replacing it with the language below the heading “Deputy Chief of Police and Captain.”
Deputy Chief of Police and Captain
Holiday Pay will be reported in accordance with the applicable sections of the California Government Code, California Code of Regulations, and the City’s contract with the California Public Employee’s Retirement System. Holiday Pay falls within the definition of special compensation/reportable compensation per CalPERS and is applicable to the positions of Deputy Chief of Police and Captain, who are scheduled to work on all City -designated holidays that fall on their regular workdays.
In conclusion, the City Council is requested to adopt Resolution 2024-022, which will enact each of these amendments.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: MAY 7, 2024
TITLE: TRAFFIC SIGNAL INSTALLATION AT EUCALYPTUS & FERN PROJECT (TR240).
PAGE: 3
BACKGROUND
As a Condition of Approval (“COA”) of the University Park Community development, Lennar Homes, the developer, was responsible for the installation of a traffic signal at the intersection of Fern and Eucalyptus Avenues. The new traffic signal was deemed nec essary through the project’s traffic impact analysis (“TIA”) which indicated that at buildout, a significant amount of traffic on Eucalyptus Avenue would back up from Euclid Avenue past Fern Avenue. Over time, traffic volumes did not reach levels where a t raffic signal triggered warrants leading staff to consider alternative traffic controls that could provide safe pedestrian crossings without the expense of a full traffic signal. Staff presented these alternatives at various Infrastructure Committee meetin gs, most recently on May 2, 2023. However, after consideration, the Infrastructure Committee recommended continuing with the original traffic signal plan as the best option. City staff collaborated with the developer on multiple design revisions including various accessibility improvements and different traffic control design element iterations. These changes delayed the traffic signal construction and ultimately, the City agreed to a settlement agreement amendment with Lennar Homes, approved by the City Council on January 16, 2024.
As part of the amendment agreement, the developer agreed to pay the City $553,500 in exchange for the City taking the lead on the construction of the traffic signal. The payment was deposited into the Citywide Circulation (Bridges/Signals/Thoroughfare) System DIF fund.
Originally the proposed traffic signal was programmed for funding from the Preserve Circulation (Bridges/Signals/Thoroughfare Preserve) System Development Impact Fee Fund (260). This project does not fall within the Preserve limits for Fund 260 and is now being corrected to utilize the Citywide Circulation (Bridges/Signals/Thoroughfare) System Development Impact Fee Fund (220). Upon completion of the traffic signal installation, the actual costs eligible under the D IF program will be included in an annual update to the DIF Nexus Calculation Report. The costs associated with the construction of the proposed traffic signal will exceed the amount currently programmed in the TR240 project budget; however, there are suffi cient funds available in the Citywide Circulation (Bridges/Signals/Thoroughfare) System DIF fund to cover the amount needed to complete construction. As stated, the costs in the DIF program will be updated upon project completion.
The scope of work for this project includes the following improvement elements:
a new traffic signal
extend signal interconnect conduit from Fern Avenue to Euclid Avenue pedestrian curb ramps and crosswalks across all three legs of the intersection a pavement grind and overlay of the entire intersection area landscaping visibility improvements
new signing and striping.
The project will provide pedestrians on the north side of Eucalyptus Avenue accessible and convenient access to Constellation Park.
In addition to the DIF funding for the intersection improvements, Measure I funding through the San Bernardo County Transportation Authority (SBCTA) will supplement the pavement rehabilitation portion of the project. When the project is completed, the area dist urbed by the traffic signal installation will be repaved.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
Plans and specifications were prepared by city staff and a Notice Inviting Bids was published both locally and on the PlanetBids web -based bid system in February 2024. On March 5, 2024, 127
CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: MAY 7, 2024
TITLE: TRAFFIC SIGNAL INSTALLATION AT EUCALYPTUS & FERN PROJECT (TR240).

the city held a mandatory pre -bid meeting which was attended by three (3) prime contractors and other sub-contractors. All three (3) prime contractors submitted formal bids and the results are as follows:
Upon completion of the traffic signal, the actual costs will be included in an annual update to the DIF Nexus Calculation Report.
Company Location Bid Amount
Elecnor Belco Electric, Inc. Chino, CA $1,146,360
Comet Electric, Inc. Chatsworth, CA $1,305,235
International Line Builders, Inc. Corona, CA $1,609,697 The lowest, responsible, responsive bid was submitted by Elecnor Belco Electric, Inc., Chino, CA, as shown in the table above for a total amount of $1,146,360. Staff subsequently reviewed the contractor’s licensing, bonding, referenc es, and list of subcontractors submitted for the project, and found all bid submittal documentation to be in order.
The estimated project construction costs are itemized below:
Project Task Vendor Totals
Construction Elecnor Belco Electric, Inc.
Chino, CA
$1,146,360.00
10% Construction Contingency* As allowable per the Public Contract Code
$114,636.00
TOTAL EST. PROJECT COST $1,260,996.00
*Note that, as in all the City's public works contracts, the contract itself provides the Director of Public Works authority to issue change orders of up to 10% of the original contract amount.
When the Council approves the contract, it approves this authority. Ten percent is generally considered within the normal range of changed conditions on a public works construction project and, by providing change order authority upfront, Council helps to reduce the possibility of delay on a construction project.
Elecnor Belco Electric has built many of Chino’s most recent traffic signals, many of which are in The Preserve with a history of understanding Chino’s specific requirements. The project will be managed and inspected by the City’s Public Works staff. Therefore, s taff recommends that the City Council award a construction contract to Elecnor Belco Electric, Inc., Chino, CA, for the Traffic Signal Installation at Eucalyptus & Fern (TR240) for an amount not to exceed $1,146,360 and authorize an additional $114,636 (10 % of total contract amount) for construction contingency for a total project amount not to exceed $1,260,996.
This project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) according to Section 15301 of the CEQA Guidelines - Existing Facilities, which includes the operation, repair, and maintenance of highways, streets, sidewalks, gutters, bicycle and pedestrian trails, and other similar facilities.
