PUBLIC COMMENT

City Clerk Van read the following written comment submitted by Alfred Sanchez, “December 21st is National Homeless Persons Memorial Day. We will be holding our 5th Annual gathering for this occasion. We meet at Adalbertos Restaurant 6171 Greenback Ln. 7:00 p.m. Everyone is welcome to attend.”

City Clerk Van read the following written comment submitted by Rick Hodgkins, “I would like to expose the city to a family owned and locally owned cheesecake business called to the bay and back cheesecakes. Had I not had yet another event last week on Wednesday, December 6, I definitely would have been at that tree lighting and exposed us then. By further exposing the business looking for promotions and sponsors, I am introducing our company to different parts of Sacramento county, other than just the city of Sacramento. We are currently looking for people to sponsor us. So if you and or someone you know is interested in sponsoring us, please email me. I in turn will take your information and pass it on to our CEO, who is also our marketing director, who is also the owner and proprietor. All 70+ flavors of cheesecakes are from his grandmother and mother. By having people sponsor us, we can hire people, launch another wholesale bakery and least delivery trucks so as to get our product out to both our commercial and residential customers. The vast majority of cheesecakes are made on a large scale by a wholesale bakery. But the person who is our marketing Director owner and proprietor can make them on a small scale. Two of you got my business card recently, one of you got it at Braden Murphy‘s campaign kickoff for county supervisor district 4. Another one of you got my business card three days ago at the regional transit Board of Directors meeting. Not only will we put you on our website if you or someone you know is interested, we will also put you on our social media platforms, including Instagram and TikTok. Our website is to the bay and backcheesecake.com. To place a cheesecake order for the upcoming Christmas and New Year’s holidays, please call 916-370-9211 or that you can email him at [email protected] the person in charge of cheesecake orders is out of town as of today but he will be back at work on Monday, December 18. Thank you and I look forward to hearing back from you shortly.”

This includes supplemental staff services, engineering design services, inspection of encroachments and development related projects, as well as construction management and other general engineering tasks.

Fiscal Impact
The recommended contract approvals will have no fiscal impact on the City.

The initial contract term will be three years with two, one-year options to extend the contract, with a total contract term not to exceed five years. The total combined contracts’ value per year is not to exceed $500,000.

All time and material costs associated with each contract shall be funded with existing salary savings or already approved budgets and funding sources.

Background and Analysis
Currently, the General Services Department utilizes on-call municipal engineering contracts to provide engineering and inspection support on an as-needed basis. This includes supplemental staff services, engineering design services, inspection of encroachments and development related projects, as well as construction management and other general engineering tasks and project management. However, the Department currently only has an on-call contract with one firm, and work on federally funded projects is not permitted due to the process that was followed during the original contract solicitation in 2016.

In order to continue to deliver on all projects as listed in the City Council adopted CIP, as well as to open eligibility for support on federally-funded grant projects, it is recommended that the City contract with multiple firms and follow a solicitation process that allows for assistance on federally-funded projects.

In October 2023, staff issued an RFQ to procure qualified professional engineering consultants.

In response to the RFQ, proposers were invited to submit their qualifications for one or more of the following categories of services:
• Project Management
• General Engineering Support Services
• Capital Project Design
• Construction Management
• Inspection Services
A total of seven proposals were received on November 8, 2023. Following the requirements set forth in Chapter 10 of the Local Assistance Procedures Manual (LAPM) to ensure federal project eligibility, all proposals were reviewed independently and ranked by each team member using the written criteria that was set forth in the RFQ. Six of the seven firms were subsequently invited to in-person interviews, which were held on December 6, 2023.

Through this process Coastland Engineering, Ghirardelli Associates, Inc. and UNICO Engineering, Inc. were determined to be the most qualified consultant teams to provide the desired on-call services.

If selected for audit or review, the AGREEMENT, cost proposal and ICR and related work papers, if applicable, will be reviewed to verify compliance with 48 CFR 31 and other related laws and regulations. In the instances of a CPA ICR audit work paper review it is CONSULTANT’s responsibility to ensure federal, LOCAL AGENCY, or local government officials are allowed full access to the CPA’s work papers including making copies as necessary. The AGREEMENT, cost proposal, and ICR shall be adjusted by CONSULTANT and approved by LOCAL AGENCY Contract Administrator to conform to the audit or review recommendations. CONSULTANT agrees that individual terms of costs identified in the audit report shall be incorporated into the AGREEMENT by this reference if directed by LOCAL AGENCY at its sole discretion. Refusal by CONSULTANT to incorporate audit or review recommendations, or to ensure that the federal, LOCAL AGENCY or local governments have access to CPA work papers, will be considered a breach of AGREEMENT terms and cause for termination of the AGREEMENT and disallowance of prior reimbursed costs.

E. CONSULTANT’s Cost Proposal may be subject to a CPA ICR Audit Work Paper Review and/or audit by the Independent Office of Audits and Investigations (IOAI). IOAI, at its sole discretion, may review and/or audit and approve the CPA ICR documentation. The Cost Proposal shall be adjusted by the CONSULTANT and approved by the LOCAL AGENCY Contract Administrator to conform to the Work Paper Review recommendations included in the management letter or audit recommendations included in the audit report. Refusal by the CONSULTANT to incorporate the Work Paper Review recommendations included in the management letter or audit recommendations included in the audit report will be considered a breach of the AGREEMENT terms and cause for termination of the AGREEMENT and disallowance of prior reimbursed costs.

1. During IOAI’s review of the ICR audit work papers created by the CONSULTANT’s independent CPA, IOAI will work with the CPA and/or CONSULTANT toward a resolution of issues that arise during the review. Each party agrees to use its best efforts to resolve any audit disputes in a timely manner. If IOAI identifies significant issues during the review and is unable to issue a cognizant approval letter, LOCAL AGENCY will reimburse the CONSULTANT at an accepted ICR until a FAR (Federal Acquisition Regulation) compliant ICR (e.g. 48 CFR Part 31; GAGAS (Generally Accepted Auditing Standards); CAS (Cost Accounting Standards), if applicable; in accordance with procedures and guidelines of the American Association of State Highways and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Audit Guide; and other applicable procedures and guidelines) is received and approved by IOAI.

Accepted rates will be as follows:
a. If the proposed rate is less than one hundred fifty percent (150%) - the accepted rate reimbursed will be ninety percent (90%) of the proposed rate. b. If the proposed rate is between one hundred fifty percent (150%) and two hundred percent (200%) - the accepted rate will be eighty-five percent (85%) of the proposed rate.
c. If the proposed rate is greater than two hundred percent (200%) - the accepted rate will be seventy-five percent (75%) of the proposed rate.

2. If IOAI is unable to issue a cognizant letter per paragraph E.1. above, IOAI may require CONSULTANT to submit a revised independent CPA-audited ICR and audit report within three (3) months of the effective date of the management letter. IOAI will then have up to six (6) months to review the CONSULTANT’s and/or the independent CPA’s revisions.

3. If the CONSULTANT fails to comply with the provisions of this paragraph E, or if IOAI is still unable to issue a cognizant approval letter after the revised independent CPA audited ICR is submitted, overhead cost reimbursement will be limited to the accepted ICR that was established upon initial rejection of the ICR and set forth in paragraph E.1. above for all rendered services. In this event, this accepted ICR will become the actual and final ICR for reimbursement purposes under this AGREEMENT.

4. CONSULTANT may submit to LOCAL AGENCY final invoice only when all of the following items have occurred: (1) IOAI accepts or adjusts the original or revised independent CPA audited ICR; (2) all work under this AGREEMENT has been completed to the satisfaction of LOCAL AGENCY; and, (3) IOAI has issued its final ICR review letter. The CONSULTANT MUST SUBMIT ITS FINAL INVOICE TO LOCAL AGENCY no later than sixty (60) calendar days after occurrence of the last of these items. The accepted ICR will apply to this AGREEMENT and all other agreements executed between LOCAL AGENCY and the CONSULTANT, either as a prime or subconsultant, with the same fiscal period ICR.

ARTICLE X SUBCONTRACTING
A. Nothing contained in this AGREEMENT or otherwise, shall create any contractual relation between the LOCAL AGENCY and any Subconsultants, and no subagreement shall relieve the CONSULTANT of its responsibilities and obligations hereunder. The CONSULTANT agrees to be as fully responsible to the LOCAL AGENCY for the acts and omissions of its Subconsultants and of persons either directly or indirectly employed by any of them as it is for the acts and omissions of persons directly employed by the CONSULTANT. The CONSULTANT's obligation to pay its Subconsultants is an independent obligation from the LOCAL AGENCY's obligation to make payments to the CONSULTANT.

B. The CONSULTANT shall perform the work contemplated with resources available within its own organization and no portion of the work shall be subcontracted without written authorization by the LOCAL AGENCY Contract Administrator, except that which is expressly identified in the CONSULTANT’s approved Cost Proposal.

4. If a worker employed by a Subconsultant on a public works project is not paid the general prevailing per diem wages by the Subconsultant, the CONSULTANT of the project is not liable for the penalties described above unless the CONSULTANT had knowledge of that failure of the Subconsultant to pay the specified prevailing rate of wages to those workers or unless the CONSULTANT fails to comply with all of the following requirements:

5. Pursuant to Labor Code §1775, LOCAL AGENCY shall notify the CONSULTANT on a public works project within fifteen (15) calendar days of receipt of a complaint that a Subconsultant has failed to pay workers the general prevailing rate of per diem wages.

6. If LOCAL AGENCY determines that employees of a Subconsultant were not paid the general prevailing rate of per diem wages and if LOCAL AGENCY did not retain sufficient money under the AGREEMENT to pay those employees the balance of wages owed under the general prevailing rate of per diem wages, the CONSULTANT shall withhold an amount of moneys due the Subconsultant sufficient to pay those employees the general prevailing rate of per diem wages if requested by LOCAL AGENCY.

G. Hours of Labor
Eight (8) hours labor constitutes a legal day's work. The CONSULTANT shall forfeit, as a penalty to the LOCAL AGENCY, twenty-five dollars ($25) for each worker employed in the execution of the AGREEMENT by the CONSULTANT or any of its Subconsultants for each calendar day during which such worker is required or permitted to work more than eight (8) hours in any one calendar day and forty (40) hours in any one calendar week in violation of the provisions of the Labor Code, and in particular §§1810 to 1815 thereof, inclusive, except that work performed by employees in excess of eight (8) hours per day, and forty (40) hours during any one week, shall be permitted upon compensation for all hours worked in excess of eight (8) hours per day and forty (40) hours in any week, at not less than one and one-half (1.5) times the basic rate of pay, as provided in §1815.

ARTICLE XVIII DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS ENTERPRISES (DBE) PARTICIPATION A. CONSULTANT, subrecipient (LOCAL AGENCY), or subconsultant shall take necessary and reasonable steps to ensure that DBEs have opportunities to participate in the contract (49 CFR 26).

To ensure equal participation of DBEs provided in 49 CFR 26.5, the LOCAL AGENCY shows a contract goal for DBEs. CONSULTANT shall make work available to DBEs and select work parts consistent with available DBE subconsultants and suppliers.

CONSULTANT shall meet the DBE goal shown elsewhere in these special provisions or demonstrate that they made adequate Good Faith Efforts (GFE) to meet this goal. It is CONSULTANT’s responsibility to verify at date of proposal opening that the DBE firm is certified as a DBE by using the California Unified Certification Program (CUCP) database and possesses the most specific available North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes and work code applicable to the type of work the firm will perform on the contract. Additionally, the CONSULTANT is responsible to document the verification record by printing out the CUCP data for each DBE firm. A list of DBEs certified by the CUCP can be found at https://dot.ca.gov/programs/civil-rights/dbe-search.

All DBE participation will count toward the California Department of Transportation’s federally mandated statewide overall DBE goal. Credit for materials or supplies CONSULTANT purchases from DBEs counts towards the goal in the following manner:
• 100 percent counts if the materials or supplies are obtained from a DBE manufacturer. • 60 percent counts if the materials or supplies are purchased from a DBE regular dealer. • Only fees, commissions, and charges for assistance in the procurement and delivery of materials or supplies count if obtained from a DBE that is neither a manufacturer nor regular dealer. 49 CFR 26.55 defines "manufacturer" and "regular dealer." This AGREEMENT is subject to 49 CFR 26 entitled “Participation by Disadvantaged Business Enterprises in Department of Transportation Financial Assistance Programs”. CONSULTANTs who enter into a federally-funded agreement will assist the LOCAL AGENCY in a good faith effort to achieve California's statewide overall DBE goal.

B. The goal for DBE participation for this AGREEMENT is_________%. Participation by DBE CONSULTANT or subconsultants shall be in accordance with information contained in Exhibit 10- O2: Consultant Contract DBE Commitment attached hereto and incorporated as part of the AGREEMENT. If a DBE subconsultant is unable to perform, CONSULTANT must make a good faith effort to replace him/her with another DBE subconsultant, if the goal is not otherwise met.

C. CONSULTANT can meet the DBE participation goal by either documenting commitments to DBEs to meet the AGREEMENT goal, or by documenting adequate good faith efforts to meet the AGREEMENT goal. An adequate good faith effort means that the CONSULTANT must show that it took all necessary and reasonable steps to achieve a DBE goal that, by their scope, intensity, and appropriateness to the objective, could reasonably be expected to meet the DBE goal. If CONSULTANT has not met the DBE goal, complete and submit Exhibit 15-H: Proposer/Contractor Good Faith Efforts to document efforts to meet the goal. Refer to 49 CFR 26 for guidance regarding evaluation of good faith efforts to meet the DBE goal.

D. Contract Assurance
Under 49 CFR 26.13(b):

CONSULTANT, subrecipient or subconsultant shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, or sex in the performance of this contract. CONSULTANT shall carry out applicable requirements of 49 CFR 26 in the award and administration of federal-aid contracts.

Failure by the CONSULTANT to carry out these requirements is a material breach of this contract, which may result in the termination of this contract or such other remedy as the recipient deems appropriate, which may include, but is not limited to:
(1) Withholding monthly progress payments;
(2) Assessing sanctions;
(3) Liquidated damages; and/or
(4) Disqualifying CONSULTANT from future proposing as non-responsible E. Termination and Replacement of DBE Subconsultants
CONSULTANT shall utilize the specific DBEs listed to perform the work and supply the materials for which each is listed unless CONSULTANT or DBE subconsultant obtains the LOCAL AGENCY’s written consent. CONSULTANT shall not terminate or replace a listed DBE for convenience and perform the work with their own forces or obtain materials from other sources without authorization from the LOCAL AGENCY. Unless the LOCAL AGENCY’s consent is provided, the CONSULTANT shall not be entitled to any payment for work or material unless it is performed or supplied by the listed DBE on the Exhibit 10-02: Consultant Contract DBE Commitment form.

Termination of DBE Subconsultants

3. Work requires a consultant's license and listed DBE does not have a valid license under Contractors License Law.

4. Listed DBE fails or refuses to perform the work or furnish the listed materials (failing or refusing to perform is not an allowable reason to remove a DBE if the failure or refusal is a result of bad faith or discrimination).

CONSULTANT may request the LOCAL AGENCY's approval to extend this submittal period to a total of 14 days. Submit documentation of actions taken to find a DBE replacement firm, such as:
• Search results of certified DBEs available to perform the original DBE work identified and or other work CONSULTANT had intended to self-perform, to the extent needed to meet DBE commitment
• Solicitations of DBEs for performance of work identified • Correspondence with interested DBEs that may have included contract details and requirements

st
-tier subconsultant

ITEM 8
Agenda Packet Page 47

Local Assistance Procedures Manual Exhibit 10-R
A&E Boilerplate Agreement Language
If a DBE is decertified before completing its work, the DBE must notify CONSULTANT in writing of the decertification date. If a business becomes a certified DBE before completing its work, the business must notify CONSULTANT in writing of the certification date. CONSULTANT shall submit the notifications to the LOCAL AGENCY. On work completion, CONSULTANT shall complete Exhibit 17-O: Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE) Certification Status Change and submit the form to the LOCAL AGENCY within 30 days of contract acceptance.

Upon work completion, CONSULTANT shall complete Exhibit 17-F: Final Report – Utilization of Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE), First-Tier Subcontractors and submit it to the LOCAL AGENCY within 90 days of contract acceptance. The LOCAL AGENCY will withhold $10,000 until the form is submitted. The LOCAL AGENCY will release the withhold upon submission of the completed form.

In the LOCAL AGENCY’s reports of DBE participation to Caltrans, the LOCAL AGENCY must display both commitments and attainments.

G. Commercially Useful Function
DBEs must perform a commercially useful function (CUF) under 49 CFR 26.55 when performing work or supplying materials listed on the DBE Commitment form. The DBE value of work will only count toward the DBE commitment if the DBE performs a CUF. A DBE performs a CUF when it is responsible for execution of the work of the AGREEMENT and is carrying out its responsibilities by actually performing, managing, and supervising the work involved. To perform a CUF, the DBE must also be responsible, with respect to materials and supplies used on the AGREEMENT, for negotiating price, determining quality and quantity, ordering the material and installing (where applicable), and paying for the material itself.

CONSULTANT must perform CUF evaluation for each DBE working on a federal-aid contract, with or without a DBE goal. Perform a CUF evaluation at the beginning of the DBE’s work and continue to monitor the performance of CUF for the duration of the project.

CONSULTANT must provide written notification to the LOCAL AGENCY at least 15 days in advance of each DBE's initial performance of work or supplying materials for the Contract. The notification must include the DBE's name, work the DBE will perform on the contract, and the location, date, and time of where their work will take place.

Within 10 days of a DBE initially performing work or supplying materials on the Contract, CONSULTANT shall submit to the LPA the initial evaluation and validation of DBE performance of a CUF using the LAPM 9-J: Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Commercially Useful Function Evaluation. Include the following information with the submittal:
• Subcontract agreement with the DBE
• Purchase orders
• Bills of lading
• Invoices
• Proof of payment
CONSULTANT must monitor all DBE’s performance of CUF by conducting quarterly evaluations and validations throughout their duration of work on the Contract using the LAPM 9-J: DBE Commercially Useful Function Evaluation. CONSULTANT must submit to the LOCAL AGENCY

Page 26 of 39 ends

May 2023
SAMPLE
ITEM 8
Agenda Packet Page 48

Local Assistance Procedures Manual Exhibit 10-R
A&E Boilerplate Agreement Language
these quarterly evaluations and validations by the 5th of the month for the previous three months of work.

CONSULTANT must notify the LOCAL AGENCY immediately if they believe the DBE may not be performing a CUF.

The LOCAL AGENCY will verify DBEs performance of CUF by reviewing the initial and quarterly submissions of LAPM 9-J: DBE Commercially Useful Function Evaluation, submitted supporting information, field observations, and through any additional LOCAL AGENCY evaluations. The LOCAL AGENCY must evaluate DBEs and their CUF performance throughout the duration of a Contract. The LOCAL AGENCY will provide written notice to the CONSULTANT and the DBE at least two (2) business days prior to any evaluation. The CONSULTANT and the DBE must participate in the evaluation. Upon completing the evaluation, the LOCAL AGENCY must share the evaluation results with the CONSULTANT and the DBE. An evaluation could include items that must be remedied upon receipt. If the LOCAL AGENCY determines the DBE is not performing a CUF, the CONSULTANT must suspend performance of the noncompliant work.

CONSULTANT and DBEs must submit any additional CUF related records and documents within five (5) business days of LOCAL AGENCY’s request such as:
• Proof of ownership or lease and rental agreements for equipment • Tax records
• Employee rosters
• Certified payroll records
• Inventory rosters
Failure to submit required DBE Commercially Useful Function Evaluation forms or requested records and documents can result in withholding of payment for the value of work completed by the DBE.

If CONSULTANT and/or the LOCAL AGENCY determine that a listed DBE is not performing a CUF in performance of their DBE committed work, CONSULTANT must immediately suspend performance of the noncompliant portion of the work. LOCAL AGENCY may deny payment for the noncompliant portion of the work. LOCAL AGENCY will ask the CONSULTANT to submit a corrective action plan (CAP) to the LOCAL AGENGY within five (5) days of the noncompliant CUF determination. The CAP must identify how the CONSULTANT will correct the noncompliance findings for the remaining portion of the DBE's work. LOCAL AGENCY has five (5) days to review the CAP in conjunction with the CONSULTANT’s review. The CONSULTANT must implement the CAP within five (5) days of the LOCAL AGENCY's approval. The LOCAL AGENCY will then authorize the prior noncompliant portion of work for the DBE's committed work.

If corrective actions cannot be accomplished to ensure the DBE performs a commercially useful function on the Contract, CONSULTANT may have good cause to request termination of the DBE.

H. A DBE does not perform a CUF if its role is limited to that of an extra participant in a transaction, AGREEMENT, or project through which funds are passed in order to obtain the appearance of DBE participation. In determining whether a DBE is such an extra participant, examine similar transactions, particularly those in which DBEs do not participate.

I. If a DBE does not perform or exercise responsibility for at least thirty percent (30%) of the total cost of its AGREEMENT with its own work force, or the DBE subcontracts a greater portion of the work

Page 27 of 39 ends

A&E Boilerplate Agreement Language
of the AGREEMENT than would be expected on the basis of normal industry practice for the type of work involved, it will be presumed that it is not performing a CUF.

J. CONSULTANT shall maintain records of materials purchased or supplied from all subcontracts entered into with certified DBEs. The records shall show the name and business address of each DBE or vendor and the total dollar amount actually paid each DBE or vendor, regardless of tier.

The records shall show the date of payment and the total dollar figure paid to all firms. DBE CONSULTANT’s shall also show the date of work performed by their own forces along with the corresponding dollar value of the work.

K. If a DBE subconsultant is decertified during the life of the AGREEMENT, the decertified subconsultant shall notify CONSULTANT in writing with the date of decertification. If a subconsultant becomes a certified DBE during the life of the AGREEMENT, the subconsultant shall notify CONSULTANT in writing with the date of certification. Any changes should be reported to LOCAL AGENCY’s Contract Administrator within thirty (30) calendar days.

L. For projects awarded on or after March 1, 2020, but before September 1, 2023: after submitting an invoice for reimbursement that includes a payment to a DBE, but no later than the 10th of the following month, the prime contractor/consultant must complete and email Exhibit 9-F:

If the CONSULTANT does not make any payments to subconsultants, supplier(s), and/or manufacturers they must report “no payments were made to subs this month” and write this visibly and legibly on Exhibit 9-P.

M. Any subcontract entered into as a result of this AGREEMENT shall contain all of the provisions of this section.

CITY OF CITRUS HEIGHTS

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT

MEMORANDUM
DATE: January 11, 2024
TO: Mayor and City Council Members
Ashley J. Feeney, City Manager
FR
OM: Regina Cave, General Services Director
Leslie Blomquist, City Engineer
Daniel Kehrer, Senior Civil Engineer
SU
BJECT: On-Call Land Surveying Services
Award of Professional Engineering Service Agreements
Summary and Recommendation
Currently, the City utilizes on-call land surveying services in accordance with the California Subdivision Map Act in order to perform technical review of maps, easements, quitclaims and other related documents. In order to ensure timely response to developers, other applicants and general inquiries, it is advantageous to have two or more on-call consultants under contract.

Although the City previously entered into on-call agreements with two separate land surveying firms, one of the firms decided not to extend for another term leaving the City with only one on- call resource for various reviews.

In order to obtain additional firms for the on-call land services required, in July 2023 staff issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to procure qualified consultants for new on-call contracts.

Staff recommends the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2024-___, a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Citrus Heights, California, Authorizing the City Manager to Execute Agreements with R.E.Y. Engineers, Inc., Willdan Engineering, and UNICO Engineering, Inc. to Provide On-Call Professional Land Surveying Services.

Fiscal Impact
The recommended contract approvals will have no fiscal impact on the City.

The initial contract term will be five years with two, one-year options to extend the contract, with a total contract term not to exceed seven years. The total contracts’ value for the initial five-year period is not to exceed $300,000. Subsequent one-year extensions, if agreed to, shall not exceed $60,000 per year. However, the actual annual cost of land surveying services vary based on the volume, quality and complexity of maps and tasks, and is paid on a time and materials basis.

Page 2 of 2 ends

Printed on Recycled Paper
All time and material costs associated with each contract shall be funded with already approved budgets and funding sources or by map check fees paid by individual development applicants.

Background and Analysis
The City is responsible for regulating the subdivision of land within its jurisdictional limits.

Under the Subdivision Map Act, only a licensed Professional Land Surveyor (PLS) or an engineer with a California Professional Engineering (PE) license obtained prior to 1981 can certify a parcel or subdivision map as technically correct. The City does not have staff with the appropriate license and expertise needed to certify maps.

There is a need to provide consistent, qualified professional land surveying services associated with the California Subdivision Map Act. As required by the Map Act, a California licensed PLS is required for the technical review of final maps for parcel maps, subdivision maps, easements and quitclaim documents. The City traditionally holds multiple on-call contracts for these services to ensure timely responses to property owners, developers, building permit and other applicants.

In addition to map checking, staff occasionally require land surveying services to progress City sponsored projects such as processing easement dedications, verification of property lines, lot line adjustments and other land surveying items.

Although the City previously entered into on-call agreements with two separate land surveying firms, at the expiration of the second contract term extension, one firm decided not to extend for a third and final term due to the retirement of key staff. This leaves the City with only one on- call land surveying resource. Although one consultant team is still under contract, it is advantageous to have two or more consultants on-call to perform this service to ensure response times are minimal.

In order to obtain additional firms, on July 14, 2023 staff released an RFQ seeking qualified firms. A total of six proposals were received on August 17, 2023. The City’s selection team utilized a process consistent with City and industry standards. All proposals were reviewed independently and ranked by each team member using the written criteria that was set forth in the RFQ. Through this process R.E.Y. Engineers Inc., Willdan Engineering and UNICO Engineering, Inc. were determined to be the most qualified consultant teams to provide the desired on-call services.
