The FMCoC is dedicated to increasing community awareness of homeless people and their problems; and the development and implementation of strategies to create permanent solutions to homelessness in our community.
Historically, the City representative to the FMCoC has been the then current Affordable Housing Manager or Supervisor, and has served at the will of the City Manager.

21 AGENDA ITEM NO. 4.
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Planning and Development Services Department
DATE: April 7, 2025
SUBJECT: Planning and Development Services – Approval – Rejecting the lowest monetary bid for CIP 21 -17 Barstow Avenue Rehabilitation as non - responsive and award the contract to Agee Construction as the lowest monetary and responsive bid in the amount of $459,646.00 and authorize the City Manager to execute the contract on behalf of the City.
ATTACHMENTS: 1. Vicinity Map
RECOMMENDATION
For the City Council to:
1. Reject the lowest monetary bid for CIP 21-17 from Central Valley Asphalt due to the bid being non-responsive for failing to meet the Disadvantaged Enterprise Business (DBE) goal and inadequate Good Faith Effort (GFE); and
2. Award the contract to the second monetary lowest bidder, Agee Construction in the amount of $459,646.00 as the lowest responsive bid; and
3. Authorize the City Manager to execute the contract on behalf of the City.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Staff is recommending the City Council reject Central Valley Asphalt’s bid on CIP 21-17, Barstow Avenue Rehabilitation due to the company’s inability to meet the DBE goal and GFE, and a determination that the bid was non-responsive. This recommendation has been reviewed and is supported by Caltrans which is the pass through and monitoring agency of the Surface Transportation Block Grant (STBG) program. This project is federally funded through STBG.
Staff has been advised by Caltrans that deviating from this recommendation would put the City at risk of having funds revoked based on the program guidance from the Federal Highway Administration.
Based on this recommendation, Staff is recommending the City Council award the contract to the second lowest monetary bidder (but the lowest responsive bid), Agree Construction, and authorize the City Manager to execute the contract on behalf the City in th e amount of $459,646.00.
22 AGENDA ITEM NO. 5.
BACKGROUND
On Tuesday, January 28, 2025, a bid opening was held for CIP 21 -17, Barstow Avenue Rehabilitation. This project involves street rehabilitation on Barstow Avenue from Villa Avenue to Minnewawa Avenue including rehabilitating the A.C. pavement; modifying/reconstructing curb ramps; adjusting valve boxes and manholes to finished grade; installing storm drainpipe, inlet and manhole; modifying traffic signals; replacing loop detectors; and restriping. The results of that bid opening are as follows:
BIDDERS BASE BID
Central Valley Asphalt $444,528.00
Agee Construction $459,646.00
Emmett Valley Construction $468,792.00
Dave Christian Construction $477,526.00
Garcia Paving $500,000.00
Westrock General Engineering $516,999.00
MAC General Engineering $543,919.00
Platinum General Engineering $623,638.28
ENGINEER’S ESTIMATE $477,674.50
At the time it was determined that Central Valley Asphalt was the lowest monetary bidder. After bid opening, the top three bidders are instructed to complete the federal paperwork since this is a federally funded project. After careful review of the paperw ork and evaluation of the bids submitted for this project, including the DBE commitment submittals, City staff has determined that the apparent low bidder, Central Valley Asphalt , was non -responsive due to the failure to meet the DBE requirements set forth in the bid and contract documents. The City established a DBE contract goal of 1 5% percent for this project. Central Valley Asphalt submitted a DBE commitment of 12.9% and the second low bidder, Agee Construction, exceeded the goal with a DBE commitment of 44.61%.
Under the Federal Code of Regulations, a bidder is required to meet the goal or demonstrate an aggressive GFE to obtain DBE participation. Failure to meet the goal or demonstrate GFE results in the bid being determined non-responsive. Based on the information submitted with the bid and on supplemental information submitted by Central Valley Asphalt on January 29th, January 31st and February 6 th, City staff is recommending that the City Council reject the bid from Central Valley Asphalt on the grounds that the bid is non-responsive as a result of the failure to (1) meet the DBE contract goal of 15% percent, and (2) failure to demonstrate adequate GFE to meet the goal for the project. This recommendation is also in concurrence with Caltrans recommendation when reviewing all the necessary paperwork as well.
As required under 49 CFR Part 26.53 (d), Central Valley Asphalt was given the opportunity for an administrative reconsideration meeting, where another party not involved in the initial review, evaluates the GFE. On March 6, 2025, Central Valley Asphalt notified City staff that they will not be requesting an administrative reconsideration meeting. 23 AGENDA ITEM NO. 5.
FISCAL IMPACT
The monetary difference by going with the second lowest bidde r is $15,118.00. The project is budgeted in the 2024 -2025 Community Investment Program. The project is supported by the STBG program through the City of Clovis Community Investment Program.
REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION
Agee Construction Inc. has submitted al l the necessary paperwork to certify their commitment to meeting the project’s DBE goal and is the second lowest monetary bidder. There are sufficient funds available for the anticipated cost of this project.
ACTIONS FOLLOWING APPROVAL
1. The contract will be prepared and executed, subject to the Contractor providing performance security that is satisfactory to the City.
2. Construction will begin approximately two (2) weeks after contract execution and be completed in twenty-five (25) working days thereafter.

FROM: Public Utilities Department
DATE: April 7, 2025
SUBJECT: Public Utilities – Approval – Final Acceptance for CIP 24 -15, Tarpey Village Project: Water Meter Installation , with a Final Contract Cost of $479,663.42.
ATTACHMENTS: 1. Vicinity Map
RECOMMENDATION
For the City Council to accept the work performed as complete and authorize recording of the notice of completion.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Staff is recommending that City Council accept the work performed by West Valley Construction Company, Inc., and authorize the recording of the notice of completion.
On September 3, 2024, Council awarded a contract to West Valley Construction Company, Inc., to complete the installation of water meters on remaining unmetered services within the unincorporated area of Tarpey Village. Work included the installation of new standard service connections and the installation of water meters on previously unmetered connections.
BACKGROUND
In 2004, the State Legislature adopted Assembly Bill 2572, which added section 527 of the Water Code. Water Code section 527 requires all urban water suppliers to install water meters on all municipal and industrial service connections located within their service areas on or before January 1, 2025. Water Code section 527(b) provides that urban water suppliers may recover the cost of providing the services related to the purchase, installation , and operation of a water meter from rates, fees, or charges.
Tarpey Village, which is in unincorporated Fresno County but is served by the City of Clovis water system, had a total of 334 unmetered water service connections that required work to become m etered connections. 297 of the unmetered water service connections required plumbing retrofits to be completed by a contractor to meet City standards, with the remaining unmetered water service connections only requiring a meter to be installed. 50 AGENDA ITEM NO. 12.
Bids were received on August 20, 2024 and the project was awarded by City Council to the low bidder, West Valley Construction Company, Inc ., on September 3, 2024. One contract change order in the amount of $19,983.42 was approved to address additional work related t o the removal of large trees blocking the water meter location and additional material and labor required to properly install the water meters due to existing customer connections in close proximity to the water meter location. The project was completed in accordance with the construction documents and the contractor has submitted a request for acceptance of the project.
FISCAL IMPACT
1. Award $459,680.00
2. Contract Change Order $19,983.42
3. Liquidated Damages $0.00
Final Contract Cost $479,663.42
REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION
The project was budgeted for in the 2024-2025 Water Enterprise budget. The Water Meter Installation Fee, approved through a separate Council action, allows the City to recover some costs associated with the contractor-installed water service and meters.
ACTIONS FOLLOWING APPROVAL
1. The notice of completion will be recorded; and
2. All remaining retention funds will be released 35 calendar days following recordation of the notice of acceptance, provided no liens have been filed. Retention funds may be released within 60 days after the date of completion, provided no liens have been filed, with “completion” defined as the earlier of either (a) beneficial use and occupancy and cessation of labor, or (b) acceptance by the City Council per Public Contract Code Section 7107(c)(2).

This Ordinance and Resolution will ensure the proper oversight and accountability of Measure Y expenditures, as outlined in the ordinance, while also setting clear guidelines for the committee's formation and operation.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City Council is being asked to approve the introduction of an Ordinance that adds Section
3.3.703 to the Clovis Municipal Code, which establishes the Measure Y Oversight Committee, and to adopt a Resolution that sets forth the governing criteria for the committee’s formation and operation. Measure Y, approved by voters in November 2024, authorized a one percent (1.0%) 58 AGENDA ITEM NO. 14.
Transactions and Use Tax to fund various City services. Although Measure Y is a general tax and did not mandate the creation of an oversight committee, the City Council has chosen to establish one to ensure transparency and accountability in the expenditure of the tax revenue.
The committee will consist of five members, appointed by the City Council, and will serve in an advisory role, reviewing and reporting on Measure Y expenditures at least twice a year. The committee’s guidelines, responsibilities, and membership criteria will be outlined in the accompanying Resolution and can be modified by future resolutions as needed. This action will help maintain public trust and ensure proper oversight of the Measure Y tax revenues.
BACKGROUND
On November 5, 2024, the voters of Clovis approved Measure Y, a one percent (1.0%) Transactions and Use Tax to support various City services. However, there is currently no existing oversight committee to oversee the funds generated by Measure Y. On January 21, 2025, the City Council directed staff to explore the creation of the Measure Y Oversight Committee to ensure transparency and accountability in the use of these funds. On March 4, 2025, the City Council provided criteria for the committee’s establishment and directed staff to bring forward an ordinance for adoption to formally create the committee.
The Resolution outlines key provisions and criteria for the functioning of the Measure Y Oversight Committee.
The key provisions of the Measure Y Oversight Committee include:
The committee will consist of five members, each appointed by a City Councilmember. Committee members will serve at the pleasure of their appointing Councilmember and may be reappointed or removed at any time.
Committee members must be at least 18 years old and residents of Clovis at the time of appointment.
Councilmembers may establish a formal application process if desired to assist in selecting appointees.
Committee members will not receive compensation for their service. There will be no specific term limit, and Committee members will serve until a successor is appointed.
The committee’s function is strictly advisory, focusing on reviewing Measure Y expenditures and providing reports to the City Council. The committee will meet at least twice a year —once in December or January to review prior fiscal year expenditures, and again in July or August to review proposed Measure Y expenditures for the current fiscal year.
Meetings will be open to the public and conducted in compliance with the Brown Act. The committee will remain active for as long as Measure Y is collected, and the structure may be modified by future City Council resolutions.
These provisions will prom ote transparency, accountability, and public participation while ensuring proper oversight of Measure Y funds. Staff now requests the Council’s approval of the Ordinance establishing the Oversight Committee, along with the companion Resolution outlining the committee’s structure, responsibilities, and operational guidelines. 59 AGENDA ITEM NO. 14.
FISCAL IMPACT
None.
REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION
The Measure Y Oversight Committee is being recommended to ensure transparency and accountability in the use of funds generated by Measure Y.
ACTIONS FOLLOWING APPROVAL
If the ordinance is introduced, it will return for adoption at the next City Council meeting.

To accommodate Council’s direction, there was a need to negotiate a contract extension with the City’s hauler – Republic Services – prior to the expiration of the current agreement to allow staff the time to separate , develop , and resolicit separate contracts for recycling and organics collection services.
Republic Services has proposed 3 options for an extension: a one-year, two-year, or three-year extension, each with different contract rate structures. The 3 -year extension offers the lowest contract rate and includes a 30% increase to current contract rates for residential recycling and organics services. Republic Services ’ proposed 3 -year contract rate increase for residential services is the most responsive and practical of the 3 options and can be accommodated within the City’s current rate structure. The City bills residents for these services and then pays Republic Services. The contract rate increase would not cause a rate increase to customers.
65 AGENDA ITEM NO. 15.
The commercial rate for recycling bins would increase from 50% of the City refuse bin rate to 60% of the City refuse bin rate, while the commercial organics bin rate would remain at 60%.
The contractor bills for these services and customers affected by any of the minor increases would be notified before the contractor would increase service rates.
The table below summarizes the extension proposal costs.

Benefits to awarding an extension to Republic Services for the 3-year term:
The cost can be absorbed within the current rate structure. (A Proposition 218 rate increase will not be required for recycling and organics collection.) The 3-year extension allows service to continue and provides stability with collection services while staff develops the new separated contracts that meet Council’s vision. In this scenario, staff suggests bringing on a consultant to assist in developing the contract scopes, contractual agreements, and solicit Council feedback and direction for the provision of future recycling and organics collection services. The 3-year extension allows staff additional time to work toward compliance with State regulations, specifically SB 1383. With the 3-year term, Republic Services will provide the necessary support for the City to gain full compliance with the law. The extension provides a commercial cart option for customers.
The proposed Price Index Escalator is reasonable and acceptable to staff. It will not cause an increase to customer rates for the 3-year term.
While Republic Services has offered additional services in their proposal for advice and education, staff is not recommending employing these services at this time. City staff will use its own resources to accomplish SB 1383 advisory and educational requirements.
66 AGENDA ITEM NO. 15.
BACKGROUND
The City of Clovis entered into a 10-year service agreement with Republic Services on February 3, 2015 to provide collection, processing, and marketing services for recyclable and organic materials. This contract is set to expire on July 31, 2025.
Before consideration of a contract extension with Republic Services, City staff prepared and issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) on October 16, 2024, for recycling and organic material collection, processing, and marketing services. The proposal was for a 10-year service contract beginning on August 1, 2025.
Staff received proposals from three (3 ) prominent and capable service providers: Republic Services, Mid Valley Disposal, and Caglia Environmental. Staff presented to Council a recommendation to award a contract to Mid Valley Disposal on February 4, 2025. Council gave direction to staff on Febr uary 18, 2025 to resolicit proposals , separating the residential and commercial services into two separate agreements. The process of separating the proposals and resoliciting would be lengthy, and therefore a contract extension with Republic Services is necessary.
FISCAL IMPACT
Sufficient funds are included in the 2025-2026 Community Sanitation budget.
REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION
The current contract expires on July 31, 2025. The contract must be extended to allow staff time to resolicit proposals for a new 10-year agreement.
ACTIONS FOLLOWING APPROVAL
The City Manager will execute a first amendment contract and extension with Republic Services.

Dear Mr. Scott Redelfs & Members of the City of Clovis Department of Public Utilities:
Thank you for the opportunity to negotiate an extension for continued collection, processing, and marketing services of recyclable and organic materials for the City’s residential units, multi-family dwellings, and commercial entities. Our partnership with the City for nearly 30 years is a relationship of which we are proud. Our drivers, management, and office team care about Clovis deeply and are closely tied to this community. We are thrilled at the prospect of continuing our partnership while the City re-works and re-issues an RFP for similar services.
Per the City’s request, we have provided plans for a 3-year, 2-year, and 1-year extension. From the negotiation process, we have re-worked our offerings. Should the City find our proposal favorable, we are willing to work together to sign a mutually beneficial amendment that allows for an extension. Should Council elect to pass the amendment, we would continue servicing under the current agreement and extend the contract term beyond August 1, 2025.
Our rates proposed in this extension will allow the City of Clovis to become fully compliant with SB1383 recycling and organics service collection requirements. This means that under this proposed rate structure, we will be able to add and/or adjust service levels of recycling and organics collection for all required sites.
This document serves as an extension proposal from Allied Waste Services of North America, LLC d/b/a Allied Waste Services of Fresno d/b/a Republic Services of Fresno.
Thank you for your consideration. We are confident that we will provide the safest and greatest amount of customer service with a competitive price; one the City of Clovis can view as a win in all aspects.
Sincerely,
German Hernandez, General Manager

Background Overview
Current Parameters
Under the current agreement, the City of Clovis provides collection of trash/MSW (municipal solid waste) for all entities in the City. Republic Services provides collection services for recycling and organics. The City pays Republic for residential collection services rendered and Republic bills commercial customers directly. Not all commercial customers have elected to sign up for recycling and organics collection services. Republic bills customers the following:
Bins
•
50% of City’s trash bin rate for commercial recycling
•
60% of City’s trash bin rate for commercial organics
Carts
•
Republic does not currently offer commercial recycling/organics cart collection New Term Assumptions
Full SB1383 Collection Compliance
Republic’s proposed rate structure will allow City to become fully compliant with SB1383 collection service requirements. This means that Republic will be able to add and/or adjust service levels of recycling and organics collection services for all residential, commercial, and multi-family dwellings to state-mandated service levels of SB1383. This includes existing properties that might not be anticipated by the City as needing additional services at this time (such as sites temporarily approved for space waivers). Republic anticipates further enforcement direction from Cal Recycle in the future. This rate structure allows the City and Republic to work together to add new accounts into service— whether by mandatory or slow, case-by-case sign up.
This will protect both the City and Republic.
Bins & Carts
To assist the City with its compliance goals, Republic’s new term assumptions will include both commercial cart and bin service collection offerings. This allows for lower-cost options and lower space constraints to incentivize more new sign-ups.
Additionally, this will allow for Republic to optimally route with anticipated trucks and assets to provide a cost-friendly method for anticipated services. 5501 N Golden State Blvd, Fresno California 93722 | RepublicServices.com |

New Parameters
Bins
•
60% of City’s trash bin rate for commercial recycling
•
60% of City’s trash bin rate for commercial organics
Carts
•
Weekly commercial cart collection starting at $38.68 per month If the extension amendment were to be implemented today, the commercial bin rates per month would be $46.46. This pricing structure would encourage more customers who are price-conscious to sign up for cart service. However, the price difference is not so large as to incentivize current bin customers to migrate to carts.
In partnership with the City, we seek to encourage customers with existing bin service or the need for bin service to sign up for that level. This rate structure also allows for Republic to optimize routing and acquisition of assets to allow for a 3-, 2- , or 1-year extension while adding new service levels and accounts.

Additional Information
Price Index Escalator
Should the City elect to go with a 3-year or 2-year agreement, Republic proposes an annual price increase escalator for residential rates based on the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers: Water and Sewer and Trash Collection Services in U.S. City Average (CUSR0000SEHG) for the previous twelve months. We propose that this escalation would be capped at 4% with roll-over language that allows for the event that if the annual price increase would have been greater than 4% the previous year, the unused percentage increase may be carried over and applied to the next year’s price increase, provided it does not go over the 4% cap. Upon conclusion of the agreement, no unused adjustment would be realized or compensated.
SB1383 Ad-Ons
Should the City decide it has additional need to meet SB1383 monitoring and education requirements, Republic proposes the following at an additional cost:
Compliance Advisor
•
Compliance Advisor to conduct route reviews via lid-flipping for contamination monitoring, outreach, and documentation.
•
$75,000 annually
Additional SB1383 Education
•
Fulfills requirements specified by SB1383 and aligns with requirements of 14 CCR Section 18995.4 of Chapter 12.
•
$52,000 annually includes:
o 1 SB1383 mailer full-size front & back with all SB1383 required public education and outreach information (residential, commercial, MFD accounts).
o 1 Tier & Tier 2 Food Generator education requirements. Mailer to all commercial entities with all required information.
o 2 additional yearly outreach letters to SB1383 non-compliant accounts The following pages include examples of proposed educational materials. Thank you for your consideration.
