DATE: May 28, 2026
SUBJECT: Consideration of Resolution No. CC 2026-12 - A RESOLUTION OF THE
CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF INDUSTRY, CALIFORNIA, NAMING
THE RAILROAD STREET PAVEMENT REHABILITATION PROJECT AS
AN SB 1 PROJECT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026-2027
Background:
On April 28, 2017, the Governor signed Senate Bill 1 (“SB 1”) (Beall, Chapter 5, Statutes of 2017) to address basic road maintenance, rehabilitation and critical safety needs on the state highway and local road system. SB 1 established requirements for holding local governments accountable for the efficient use of public funds to maintain public streets and roads. Under the provisions of SB 1, funds from the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (“RMRA”) may be used for City projects that meet certain criteria and requires that eligible cities submit a list of proposed projects to be funded with these funds pursuant to an adopted city budget.
Cities are allocated RMRA funds based on population, and in order to use the RMRA funds, projects must meet the following qualifications: considered basic road maintenance and road rehabilitation projects, and/or critical safety projects.
Discussion:
Each year, cities must submit a list of SB 1 projects by July 1. Staff will submit the Railroad Street Pavement Rehabilitation, et al. (Azusa Avenue to Fullerton Road) project (“Project”) to the State of California as the City’s designated SB 1 project for FY 2026-27. The California Transportation Commission requires that a separate resolution be adopted to identify the Project as the City’s designated SB 1 project, and that the City formally adopt SB 1 funds as part of the 2026-27 Capital Improvement Program (“CIP”) budget to receive the funds for projects. The Project is currently in the design phase, and involves removal of existing asphalt concrete
pavement and aggregate base and replacing with recycled asphalt concrete pavement on stabilized subgrade. The work also includes curb and gutter repair, sidewalk installation to improve mobility, curb ramp reconstruction to comply with ADA standards. The City’s estimated SB 1 allocation is $12,093.00 for FY 26-27. The design of the Project is expected to be completed by summer 2026, with construction starting in the fall of 2026. The high level construction estimate is around $11.8 million. Therefore, at this time, Staff recommends adoption of the resolution.
Fiscal Impact:
As the SB 1 funds are allocated according to population, the City’s projected SB 1 allocation for Fiscal Year 2026-27 is $12,093.00. The Fiscal Year 2026-27 CIP budget will include the Railroad Street Pavement Rehabilitation project (MP 22-17).
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. CC 2026-12.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF

PAVEMENT REHABILITATION PROJECT AS AN SB 1 PROJECT
FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026-27
WHEREAS, Senate Bill 1 (“SB 1”), the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (Chapter 5, Statutes of 2017) was passed by the Legislature and signed into law by the Governor in April 2017, in order to address the significant multi-modal transportation funding shortfalls statewide; and
WHEREAS, SB 1 includes accountability and transparency provisions that will ensure the community is aware of the projects proposed for funding in our City and which projects have been completed each fiscal year; and
WHEREAS, the City must adopt a list of all projects proposed to receive funding from the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (“RMRA”), created by SB 1 by resolution, which must include a description and the location of each proposed project, a proposed schedule for the project’s completion, and the estimated useful life of the improvement; and
WHEREAS, the City will receive an estimated $12,093.00 in RMRA funding in Fiscal Year 2026-27 from SB 1; and
WHEREAS, this is the eighth year in which the City is receiving SB 1 funding, and the funding will enable the City to continue essential road maintenance and rehabilitation projects, as well as safety improvements; and
WHEREAS, the City has undergone a public process to ensure public input into our community’s transportation priorities/the project list; and WHEREAS, the City used a Pavement Management System to develop the SB 1 project list to ensure revenues are being used on the most high-priority and cost-effective projects that also meet the community’s priorities for transportation investment; and WHEREAS, the SB 1 project list and overall investment in our local streets and roads infrastructure with a focus on basic maintenance and safety, investing in complete streets infrastructure, and using cutting-edge technology, materials and practices, will have significant positive co-benefits statewide.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF INDUSTRY, CALIFORNIA HEREBY FINDS, DETERMINES, AND RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The above recitals are true and correct and incorporated herein by reference.
Section 2. The fiscal year 2026-27 project planned to be funded with Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account revenue is:
2 A. Project Title/Location: Railroad Street Pavement Rehabilitation, et al. (Azusa Avenue to Fullerton Road).
B. Project Description: Removal of the existing asphalt concrete pavement and aggregate base and replacing with recycled asphalt concrete pavement on stabilized subgrade. The work also includes curb and gutter repair, sidewalk installation to improve mobility, and curb ramp reconstruction.
C. Estimated Useful Life: The City’s Pavement Management system estimates a new useful life for this repaired roadway of 20 years.
D. Proposed Schedule: Ongoing design. Estimated construction start date is September 2026, and estimated construction completion by January 2027.

The provisions of this Resolution are severable and if any provision, clause, sentence, word or part thereof is held illegal, invalid, unconstitutional, or inapplicable to any person or circumstances, such illegality, invalidity, unconstitutionality, or inapplicability shall not affect or impair any of the remaining provisions, clauses, sentences, sections, words or parts thereof of the Resolution or their applicability to other persons or circumstances.
SECTION 4. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution and that the same shall be in full force and effect.

ITEM NO. 6.3
MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Joshua Nelson, City Manager
STAFF: Bing Hyun, Asst. City Manager
Yvette Padilla, Management Analyst II
DATE: May 28, 2026
SUBJECT: Consideration of Amendment No. 3 to the Professional Services Agreement with PlaceWorks, Inc. for On-Call Environmental Planning Services, updating the rate schedule and increasing compensation by $500,000.00
Background:
The City Council approved a Professional Services Agreement (“Agreement”) with PlaceWorks, Inc. (“PlaceWorks”) on December 12, 2019, for on-call environmental planning services in the amount of $500,000.00, through June 30, 2024. Amendment No. 1 was approved on April 14, 2022, increasing compensation by $500,000.00, updating the indemnity language, and the City’s address. Amendment No. 2 was approved on June 13, 2024, extending the term through June 20, 2029 and updating the rate schedule.
Discussion:
PlaceWorks continues to support the City by providing environmental planning services for a wide range of development applications. These services are initiated through the City’s established on call process, in which a project applicant submits a proposal requiring environmental review. The City then solicits proposals from its on call consultants and selects a firm based on the scope of work needed. Once a firm is chosen, the City issues a Notice to Proceed, ensuring that all work remains within the authorized contract limits. All costs associated with these on call environmental services are fully reimbursed by the applicant through an executed Deposit and Reimbursement Agreement.
Given that the Agreement remains active through June 30, 2029 and available funding is nearly exhausted, Staff recommends increasing compensation by $500,000.00 to allow PlaceWorks to continue providing services. Amendment No. 3 will also update the rate schedule to reflect current billing rates.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no fiscal impact because developers reimburse the City for costs associated with their projects, including environmental-related services.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve Amendment No. 3.
