Project Management
Tetra Tech fully understands the importance of
this project to the City of Colton and our team has
developed a plan and an approach that will complete
your project in the most expeditious manner possible.
We have dedicated over 20 staff members (90 percent
of whom are local) to work on this project. They will
be organized as a single team with key staff members
from various disciplines (civil, process/mechanical,
structural, electrical, I&C, water quality, and 3D CADD) under the direction of our project manager, Kara
Buttacavoli, PE.
This approach will allow our team to have multiple
disciplines working at the same time. Our team will
also be supported by a pool of 10 additional staff
members, to provide both technical and production
assistance. Members of the pool will work on layouts,
designs, specifications, details, and control
descriptions that are common to PFAS projects.
Our Technical Advisor, Steve Tedesco, PE, will meet
weekly with the City to review progress and resolve
any issues. At these meetings, our team will roll out
the latest plans, review the design, and solicit input.
In this manner we expect to have most issues resolved
before our submittals, allowing for review periods to
be shortened to one to two weeks per submittal.
Tetra Tech will develop and maintain a project
management plan (PMP) to ensure successful
execution of the project. The draft PMP will be
submitted within 10
days of project award,
and the final PMP will
be submitted within five
days of receiving the
City’ s draft comments.
The purpose of the
PMP is to clearly define
Tetra Tech’ s approach,
personnel, resources,
project schedule, and
milestones in executing
and managing scope,
schedule, cost, and
to comply with the
requirements of the project. We propose a concise
document organized as follows:
Project management organization
Key personnel roles and responsibilities
Project scope, work breakdown structure (WBS),
and technical approach that defines activities and
milestones
Detailed activity-based schedule (organized
consistently with the WBS)
A plan to keep the City up-to-date on the project
Additionally, our team will also prepare a
comprehensive, project-specific Quality Control/
Quality Assurance (QA/QC) Plan that will be used to
ensure that each submittal meets or exceeds the City’ s requirements. Our goal is to provide the high-level
product and services that the City is accustomed to
and expects.
On a monthly basis,
Tetra Tech will establish
and maintain a
repository of project-
related information
to ensure pertinent
documentation and
data are available
for project reviews,
monthly reports, and to
provide a clear record
of the project findings to
support the final design.
Statement of Understanding & Approach
Preferred layout for a lead/lag configuration.
All of our designs on this project will be performed using 3D CADD Revit design drawings. As each submittal is completed, we will provide the City with a visualization of the proposed site.
Below is an example of one of our sites currently in final design.

Technical Approach
Data Review
Our team will review all current and relevant
information on the proposed treatment sites so we
can determine the best way to treat the affected wells
and cost-effectively get the treated water into the
distribution system.
Site Layout
Layout for the site is extremely important, we
recommend:
Design needs to accommodate large tanker trucks
to deliver the GAC media; these trucks need room
to access the site, unload spent media, and install
new replacement media
Use of 5-micron filters as a pre-treatment step prior to IX media; this prevents fine sediments that may
come from the wells or pipelines from potentially
clogging the filters and/or damaging the media
Installing a drainage system on the tank slab
allowing drainage water from rainfall to be collected
and disposed of; it can also be used to collect,
store, and alarm the operators when a leak has
occurred. Since the plant is located in a urban area,
it is best to prevent any leakage from discharging off
the site
Consider replacing rupture disks with pressure relief valves that contain limit switches that can signal
an over pressurization and alarm the wells to shut
down; rupture disk needs to be replaced after every
over pressurization
Designing late proof pockets to allow ease
of installation of vessels and anchor bolts, no
matter how good the vessel quality control is, it is
impossible for all bolt locations to be exact in the
field
Tank and Vessel Anchorage
Current anchorage code provisions for tanks and
vessels (found in Chapter 15 of ASCE 7-16 and Chapter
17 of ACI 318) require that anchor bolts be designed to avoid brittle failures of the surrounding concrete.
Specifically, these provisions ensure that the concrete at anchor bolt locations is significantly stronger than the anchor bolts themselves, preventing catastrophic
failure.
Due to these requirements, post-installed anchors,
which lack sufficient bond strength, are generally
unsuitable. Instead, cast-in-place anchors are mandated for these applications. However, cast-in- place anchors introduce challenges: they are difficult to position
accurately, increasing both the time and cost of
construction. For each tank or vessel, full-size templates are required to locate anchors precisely, and these
templates must be positioned by surveyors and fixed
securely to prevent shifting during the concrete pour.
Review of Water Quality
Tetra Tech will perform a detailed review of the water
quality for each well. In addition to PFAS compounds
found in the wells, it is critical to review other
contaminants the wells.
Other inorganic contaminants that can affect GAC or IX
treatment processes include:
Nitrate
Sulfate
Alkalinity
Iron
Manganese
Turbidity
Suspended Solids
Total Organic Carbon
(TOC)
Turbity
Arsenic
Radium
Gross Alpha
Uranium
Nitrate, sulfate, and TOC can compete with media
adsorption, reducing the bed life. Iron, manganese,
high turbidity, and high suspended solids can cause
clogging and channeling in resins and medias
Complete water quality data from the past three to five years will be reviewed to finalize any recommendations
based on feed water quality.

Pilot Testing Options
Pilot testing is a useful tool that can be used to confirm the effectiveness of the GAC or IX media and the
expected change-out rate. Media change-outs are
typically the largest component of the operating costs
of a plant removing PFAS. The following are three pilot test methods we have used on past PFAS projects. All
these testing methods have been approved by the
California Division of Drinking Water (DDW) on past
projects.
Full Scale Pilot
Full scale pilot testing provides the most accurate data when predicting media adsorption. However, full-
scale pilot testing has logistical challenges that can be expensive and time-consuming, including:
Requires on-site facilities such as power, water, and waste discharge at the wellheads
Well pumping rate should be close to the
production rate to get a representative water
quality
A full-scale pilot operates until breakthrough is
observed, which can exceed 12 months when
removing PFAS from groundwater with GAC or
IX based on similar pilot testing at other Southern
California sites.
That said, pilot results at Water Replenishment District (WRD) and from the Orange County Water District
(OCWD) pilot test of non- potable well (Bessie Well)
located in Anaheim, CA near Warner Basin have all
demonstrated excellent ability of many GAC and IX
media to successfully remove PFAS containments.
Despite these challenges, code compliance can be achieved with the convenience of post-installed anchors by utilizing a method called “late pour pockets” at each tank leg. Please refer to the sketches above for a typical layout and section of the late pour pockets. In this approach, formwork blocks out a small portion of the foundation around each anchor location during the main foundation pour. These pockets remain unfilled, allowing for the post-installation of anchors once the main foundation is complete.

Rapid Small-Scale Column Testing
Rapid small-scale column testing (RSSCT) is an effective and cost-efficient way to compare GAC and IX media
options and determine the most effective media
type for a given site and water quality. An RSSCT
is most effective at demonstrating that a GAC or IX
media will adsorb/ remove a pollutant in a specific
water, and which type of media is most effective.
An RSSCT should conform to the standards listed in
ASTM-D6586: Standard Practice for the Prediction
of Contaminant Adsorption. The RSSCT typically
requires 6 to 8 weeks for performance testing and is
significantly less expensive than a full-scale pilot test.
RSSCT Bench Scale Testing
Use Of Previously Completed Pilot Reports
Tetra Tech has designed and placed into service six plants in Orange County based on pilot testing at a single well in Anaheim. Our team is currently working on a project in Bell Gardens with very similar water quality to WRD and OCWD pilot test wells. We have met with the California
Division of Drinking Water (DDW) they have agreed to
allow Bell Gardens to obtain a permit without a pilot
testing or RSSCT testing provided that media suppliers
provide modeling of their media that indicates the media will remove PFAS to the EPA regulatory levels with a
significant media life.
Tetra Tech used Table l on the following page to show
that key organic and inorganic water quality data from
Bell Garden’ s No. 1 was almost identical to water quality at the WRD pilot tested wells and other Los Angeles
County PFAS pilot tests. The following observations can be noted in comparing the water quality between wells.
Generally, Bell Garden Well No. 1 has very comparable
nitrate, sulfate and alkalinity levels indicating that GAC or IX is a suitable treatment method as the recommended IX at WRD and other nearby sites.
Our team has a recent RSSCT that was performed for the
City of Riverside at their Palmyrita Water treatment plant that we may be able to use for comparison.
Preliminary Treatment
Sizing
PFAS system sizing is based on the minimum Empty Bed
Contact Time (EBCT) required to successfully adsorb
a particular pollutant and the allowable superficial
velocity, or hydraulic loading rate of the vessel. GAC
and IX treatment for PFAS removal is configured in two
vessel trains, with one train acting as the lead and the second train acting as the lag (i.e. the vessels operate in series).
The standard train (two vessels) treatment systems
are widely commercially available in 2 sizes, 10-foot
diameter, or 12-foot diameter. IX resin has a high
head loss per feet of bed depth, and for this reason,
many facilities cap their treatment capacity based on
a maximum resin depth of 3.7 feet per vessel. The
recommended treatment capacity for PFAS removal
is 500 to 1,100 gpm per 10-foot vessel train and 700
gpm to 1,600 gpm per 12-foot vessel train.
Recommended capacity for the same vessels using
GAC are considerably less due to the higher EBTC of
15 minutes. Therefore GAC systems require more or
larger vessels than IX systems. The additional GAC
vessels add to the capital cost of the project. Tetra Tech performs a detailed analysis or the lifecycle costs of
GAC and IX systems on every PFAS project we design.
Tetra Tech work with DDW to determine if existing
RSSCT testing nearby the sites can be used instead
of RSSCT testing. If DDW does not concur Tetra Tech
will have an RSSCT bench scale test performed on the
selected type of media (GAC or IX). Groundwater from
one of the three sites will be supplied for the testing.

PFAS Preliminary Design
Scope of Services
Our team has been involved in
numerous PFAS Studies for water
systems in Southern California.
Our design approach starts with
a detailed site visit followed by
a detailed review of available
record drawings. Once we have
completed our review, we will
proceed with the following:
Obtain and review 3-5 years of
water quality data from each
well
Review and analyze this data to
confirm the water quality is within
the range required for effective
PFAS treatment with IX media
Determine if any of the wells
have issues with sand, turbidity,
or suspended solids that would
affect the 5-micron pretreatment
filter and/or the GAC or IX
media
Compare each well’ s water
quality to the pilot results in any
previous pilot test reports
Use data to determine if the
City wells could use the existing
pilot test results or if they would
require additional pilot testing
be performed
Use areal photographic mapping
to determine proposed layouts
for the site, considering both
construction working room and
room for future maintenance,
including media change outs
as mentioned in the Technical
Approach section
Include room for the
potential future PFAS or
other contaminants requiring
treatment equipment, including
any electrical modifications
required
The next step will be to build a
hydraulic computer model that
analyzes the operations of each of
the wells, PFAS treatment, and the
existing City treatment plant. The
hydraulic computer model includes
the following inputs:
Pump curves for all affected
wells
New pipelines from the wells to
the centralized treatment plant
Booster pumps
Existing City pipeline size and
pressures
The models will be run and
updated to obtain the optimum
pipe diameter, pump, and motor
sizing for each option. Once this
is completed, our team will then
prepare capital and operational
costs for each option that indicates
the total capital cost, annual
operating costs, and the cost per
acre feet of water produced.
Our team has years of experience
working on existing sites similar
to proposed sites. We will do our
best to locate the new facilities to
minimize disruption to the existing
plant operations. We will work
closely with the City to select the
optimal layout for the proposed site.
Tetra Tech reviewed the RFP/Q and supporting
documents provided by the City of Colton. We
understand that the project consists of professional
engineering services for the evaluation, design,
permitting, bidding, and construction support of
PFAS treatment systems at the City’ s existing Well 22, Well 23, Well 30, and Well 31 sites. The project will
evaluate available PFAS sampling data and existing site conditions to develop treatment solutions that ensure
compliance with the EPA’ s National Primary Drinking
Water Regulations (NPDWR) and established PFAS
Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs).
The City seeks a qualified consultant to provide plans, specifications, and estimates (PS&E) for PFAS treatment vessel systems and associated site improvements. The
selected consultant will evaluate, recommend, and
design the most suitable PFAS treatment technology
for each well site based on source water quality,
operational considerations, lifecycle costs, regulatory requirements, site constraints, and long-term
maintenance considerations. Services will also include
environmental compliance and permitting support,
coordination with regulatory agencies, preparation
of engineer’ s estimates and bid documents, and
engineering support during bidding and construction.
The project includes treatment system design for the
following groundwater production facilities:
Well 22 – 1,100 GPM
Well 23 – 700 GPM
Well 30 – 2,500 GPM
Well 31 – 2,500 GPM
Wells 30 and 31 are co-located and will utilize a single treatment facility with a maximum treatment capacity
of 3,000 GPM at any one time.

Staff Report
Meeting Date: September 15, 2026
To: City Council
From: Bill Smith, City Manager
Prepared By: Stephanie Vargas, Chief Deputy City Clerk
Item Name: Conflict of Interest Code Update - Amendment of the Conflict of Interest Code of the City of Colton Pursuant to the Political Reform Act of 1974, Resolution No. R-85-26.
Recommended Action:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. R-85-26 adopting and approving the amended Conflict of Interest Code of the City of Colton pursuant to the Political Reform Act, section 87303.
Background:
The Political Reform Act of 1974, Government Code section 81000, et seq. (the “Act”), requires all public agencies to adopt and maintain a conflict of interest code. The Act further requires that agencies regularly review and update their codes as directed by the code-reviewing body or when change is necessitated by changed circumstances (Sections 87306 and 87306.5). The City Council is the City’s code-reviewing body. As the code-reviewing body, the City Council directed that the Code be reviewed and, if a change in the Code was necessary, that a revised Code be prepared and submitted to the City Council for approval. During this review, staff found that certain amendments to the Code are necessary.
Attached is a legislative (redlined) version of the proposed amended Code. The proposed revisions are based on the need to include new positions that must be designated, revise disclosure categories, revises titles of existing positions and deletes titles of positions that have been abolished and/or positions that no longer make or participate in making governmental decisions.
Government Code section 87303 provides that no code or amendment to a code shall be effective until it has been approved by the code-reviewing body.

Staff Report
Meeting Date: September 15, 2026
To: City Council
From: Bill Smith, City Manager
Prepared By: Anthony Vega, Chief of Police
Item Name: Grant - Approve and Adopt a Resolution Accepting Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) Grant for FY 26/27, Resolution No. R-82-26.
Recommended Action:
1. Approve and adopt Resolution NO. R-79-25 authorizing the acceptance of the 2025/2026 Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) Grant award;
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute any related documents.
Background:
The Office of Traffic Safety (OTS), is California’s lead traffic safety organization. Located in the California state transportation agency, OTS is tasked with developing and implementing a highway safety program that addresses and impacts safety on the road. The goal of the annual program is to prevent serious injury and death resulting from motor vehicle crashes, so that all roadway users arrive at their destinations safely. Using federal highway safety programs funds, it is the mission of OTS to provide funding for traffic programs to help reduce the number of deaths, injuries and economic losses resulting from traffic-related collisions. The Colton Police Department received notification that it has been awarded $187,500 from an OTS grant for FY 2026/27. This grant requires no matching funds.
Issues/Analysis:
The City has experienced multiple traffic-related injury collisions throughout the years. The number of DUI and speed related enforcement conducted is inversely proportional to the numbers of crimes and calls for service officers must handle. The City of Colton has an abundance of establishments where alcohol is served or sold and the number of DUI drivers has not diminished. In addition, speed related issues are among the majority of complaints received from the community.
The OTS grant provides $179,700 for traffic enforcement programs. These programs include:
DUI checkpoints, DUI saturation patrols, collaborative DUI enforcement, traffic enforcement, distracted driving enforcement operations, night time “Click it or Ticket” programs, pedestrian safety enforcement operations, street racing and sideshow enforcement, collaborative traffic enforcement and motorcycle safety.

1. PROBLEM STATEMENT
Describe the city, county, or jurisdiction this grant will impact.
The city of Colton, located in San Bernardino County, consists of an area of 16.03 square miles and has a population of 53,357 according to the 2023 Census Survey (Census.gov).
The city of Colton has several bar/restaurants throughout the city. Each of these establishments has an on- site liquor consumption permitted. These establishments frequently reach near-capacity from Thursday to Sunday. Statistical data indicates that a large portion of patrons leave the area impaired. There is increased pedestrian and vehicular traffic around these establishments during these time periods, but due to the departmental staffing shortages, officers are unable to adequately address the increased traffic. This trend has contributed to a higher volume of impaired driving arrests and traffic crashes, underscoring the challenges associated with managing the departments’ resources between patrol calls and proactive traffic safety enforcement.
Describe the problem(s) to be addressed, supported by current and relevant crash data. (most recent calendar year data/stats).
The California State Alcoholic Beverage Control reports forty-nine (49) active on-site alcohol consumption licenses for restaurants, bars, and businesses within Colton. However, this figure does not account for pending applications from new establishments, signaling the potential for an uptick in alcohol-serving locations. Additionally, forty-seven (47) liquor convenience and grocery stores are licensed for off-site alcohol sales, underscoring the widespread availability of alcohol throughout the city. The Colton Police Department continues to address the issue of alcohol-related offenses through enforcement, community awareness, and education.
In 2022, Colton reported 113 DUI arrests, with an OTS ranking of 61/104 of Group C cities. There was a total of 20 victims of traffic crashes that resulted from impaired drivers.
In 2023, Colton reported 70 DUI arrests, with an OTS ranking of 33/103 of Group C cities. There was a total of 17 victims of traffic crashes that resulted from impaired drivers.
In 2024, Colton reported 99 DUI arrests, but OTS rankings were not available for the year of Group C cities.
There was a total of 7 victims of traffic crashes that resulted from impaired drivers.
In 2025, Colton reported approximately 88 DUI arrests and hopes to increase impaired driving arrests. The number of injuries caused by impaired drivers in Colton remains unacceptably high, despite significant efforts in DUI enforcement. Impaired driving continues to be a pervasive issue in the city involving alcohol, narcotics, and nitrous oxide. A detailed analysis of impaired driving crashes reveals that unsafe speed is the leading contributing factor compounding the danger posed by impaired drivers. This alarming trend underscores the urgent need for effective measures to curb both dangerous and impaired driving behaviors.
To address this critical public safety concern, sustained funding for selective enforcement operations and DUI saturation patrols is essential. Without continued and expanded resources, the city faces ongoing challenges in reducing the devastating impact of impaired driving on its residents and visitors.
Between 2022 and 2025, there have been 31 fatality crashes, and approximately 1,193 injury traffic crashes, with approximately 1,601 victims who reported injury. This includes fatal traffic crashes, injury traffic crashes, hit and run traffic crashes involving injury, and traffic crashes involving a driver who was under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs. This number, however, does not include traffic crashes that involved only property damage or crashes in which both parties agreed to exchange information and did not desire police assistance. If property damage only crashes were included in the total number of crashes between the last four years, these numbers would grow significantly.
8/14/2026 7:21:19 AM Page 5 of 23
In 2022, there were 276 injury traffic crashes. In 2023, there were 283 injury traffic crashes. In 2024, there were 239 injury traffic crashes. In 2025, there were 265 injury traffic crashes. From 2022 to 2025, there was a 3% decrease in total injury traffic crashes.
The number of DUI and speed-related enforcement conducted by patrol officers does not amount to what is necessary to lower our overall crashes, specifically targeting drivers who are under the influence and drivers who are speeding. Between 2022 and 2025, impaired driving resulted in forty-one (41) crashes causing injury. With a consistently high number of injuries and fatal traffic crashes, the Colton Police Department would like to help citizens in Colton and reduce the total number of traffic crashes in the city.
Alcohol related offenses remain a persistent and significant concern for the city of Colton. To effectively mitigate the risks associated with impaired driving and speed-related crashes, sustained investment in enforcement and prevention strategies is essential for the well-being of Colton’s residents and visitors.
Currently, the Colton Police Department has fifty-eight (58) sworn police officers; however, the department is budgeted for sixty-three (63). Hiring qualified candidates is becoming increasingly difficult, as neighboring agencies are also experiencing staffing shortages. Trying to hire qualified candidates is becoming increasingly difficult as other neighboring agencies are also suffering from staffing shortages, and all agencies are hiring from the same pool of candidates. This shortage of officers has created constant staffing and shift shortages, which require current personnel to increase their reactive enforcement. Due to the reduction in force, officers are left with little time for proactive traffic-related enforcement. Additionally, officers spend most of their time on duty responding to in-progress calls for service.
The Colton Police Department’s Traffic Division is currently comprised of one motor officer, one traffic officer, and one traffic sergeant. The motor officer and sergeant work Monday-Thursday, 6 am to 4 pm, and the traffic officer works Tuesday-Friday, 10 am to 8 pm. With support from OTS, the Colton Police Department can significantly increase its proactive enforcement of DUI and selective enforcement (speed, red-light violations, and pedestrian-bicycle). OTS-funded support triples the number of officers dedicated to traffic safety enforcement during OTS events at any given time.
Define the target population the grant intends to serve and how they are affected by the problem(s).
This grant will serve a diverse population in Colton, including residents, commuters, business owners, youth, and visitors, all of whom have the potential to be impacted by impaired driving and speed-related crashes.
These issues lead to loss of life, minor injuries, major injuries, economic burdens, and community disruption, which affects people directly and indirectly. Some of these people are affected because family or friends are involved, while others are affected by travel delays caused by road or lane closures. City of Colton commuters navigate through increasingly dangerous roadways, and school-aged youth are particularly vulnerable to risky driving behavior. Whatever impact the crash has had, our goal at the Colton Police Department is to significantly reduce the number of traffic crashes by allowing officers to focus their patrols on proactive traffic enforcement.

Staff Report
Meeting Date: September 15, 2026
To: City Council
From: Bill Smith, City Manager
Prepared By: Anthony Vega, Chief of Police
Item Name: Lease Agreement - Approve a Master Equity Lease Agreement with Enterprise Fleet Management, Inc., for Ford Explorer Police Interceptors, Unmarked/Administrative Vehicle, and Two Chevrolet Silverado Pursuit-Rated Vehicles in the amount of $950,986.60.
Recommended Action:
1. Approve the lease agreement under the City's existing Master Equity Lease Agreement with Enterprise Fleet Management, Inc. for the acquisition of ten (10) vehicles for the use of the Police Department in an amount not to exceed $950,986.60, including the substitution of one Ford Explorer Police Interceptor for the previously approved Ford F- 250, in accordance with Colton Municipal Code 3.08.140(C);
2. Exempt City Staff from Colton Municipal Code 3.08.150(a) for the sale of supplies and equipment over an estimated value of $10,000.
Background:
The City Council previously approved the City’s Master Equity Lease Agreement with Enterprise Fleet Management, Inc. The Master Agreement establishes the contractual framework through which the City may enter into individual vehicle lease agreements. The action requested by this report does not seek approval of a new Master Agreement; rather, it authorizes the acquisition of ten (10) Police Department vehicles through a separate lease agreement entered into pursuant to the existing Master Agreement.
The Colton Police Department oversees a fleet of emergency-equipped vehicles assigned to the Patrol and Investigations Divisions, as well as other specialized assignments. To ensure the efficient use of public funds and departmental resources, staff evaluated several options for fleet replacement and maintenance. These options included continuing with the current model of purchasing and repairing vehicles, increasing the number of vehicle purchases, and transitioning to a lease-based model.
On July 15, 2025, the City Council approved the lease of a Ford F-250 for use by the Police Department. Since that approval, the Department's operational needs have changed, and an F-250 is no longer needed. The Department therefore requests authorization to lease one additional Ford Explorer Police Interceptor in place of the previously approved F-250. This substitution does not increase the number of vehicles authorized for lease.
In addition to the leased vehicles, the Department has identified a need for two Chevrolet Silverado pursuit-rated vehicles capable of supporting patrol and specialized law enforcement operations.
Issues/Analysis:
The Colton Police Department currently manages a fleet of emergency-equipped vehicles assigned to the Patrol and Investigations Divisions, as well as other specialized assignments.
While the Department has made progress in recent years by transitioning to a vehicle leasing model through Enterprise Fleet Management, it continues to rotate vehicles in an effort to maintain compliance with the American Public Works Association's recommendation of a fleet rotation standard of five years or 100,000 miles.
To address these challenges and build upon the success of the current leasing model, the Police Department proposes expanding its vehicle acquisition plan to include additional emergency- equipped patrol and specialized-use vehicles. This approach will help maintain a consistent replacement cycle, reduce maintenance costs, improve fleet reliability, and ensure personnel have vehicles suited to their assignments.
Replacing the previously approved F-250 with a Ford Explorer Police Interceptor better aligns with the Department's current operational requirements. The Explorer provides an emergency- response platform consistent with the Department's existing patrol fleet, supports vehicle standardization, and can be deployed more effectively for patrol and other law enforcement assignments.
The Department requests to lease two Chevrolet Silverados. The Silverado's are pursuit/patrol rated and will expand the Department's ability to support patrol and specialized operations. One Silverado will be configured and outfitted for K-9 operations, providing the space, durability, and equipment necessary to safely transport and deploy a police service dog.
Program benefits include:
• No penalties for early lease termination;
• Option to purchase leased vehicles at term-end, particularly low-mileage units suitable for reassignment or non-emergency use;
• Maintenance and mechanical repairs are included under the lease agreement; • Emergency equipment remains City-owned, reducing future outfitting costs; • Earlier rotation improves resale value, helping reduce future lease expenses; • Enhanced risk management by keeping emergency vehicles within industry age and mileage standards;
• Fleet management services, including data-driven vehicle recommendations, maintenance tracking, and usage analytics;
• Each leased vehicle is provided a mileage allotment of 100,000 miles over the 60-month lease term; and,
• Pursuit-rated Silverados provide additional flexibility for patrol, K-9, investigative, and task force operations.
For the current vehicle acquisition, the Department recommends the following:
• Eight (8) Ford Explorer Police Interceptors, including one Explorer Police Interceptor in place of the Ford F-250 previously approved on July 15, 2025; • One (1) Chevrolet Silverado pursuit-rated vehicle to be outfitted as a K-9 unit; and, • One (1) Chevrolet Silverado pursuit-rated vehicle for a specialized assignment.
All vehicles will be outfitted with the equipment necessary for their intended assignments. This recommendation aligns with the Department's long-term goal of modernizing and standardizing its fleet while addressing patrol, administrative, investigative, K-9, and specialized staffing needs. While projected costs account for the potential resale of existing vehicles, those savings are not included in the initial estimates. The number of vehicles returned or sold may vary from year to year, as may the need for additional administrative or specialized units based on staffing and operational assignments.
At the conclusion of each five-year lease term, the City may choose to purchase the leased vehicle at its residual value or sell it. Any positive equity may be used to offset the cost of new leases, further reducing future lease payments. Vehicles exceeding the allotted 100,000 miles will be subject to a fee of $0.0850 per mile. Given Enterprise's established resale network, returned vehicles are expected to sell for values above traditional auction prices. To streamline this process, staff requests an exemption from Colton Municipal Code Section 3.08.150, which requires City Council authorization for the sale of surplus equipment with an estimated value of $10,000 or more. Allowing Enterprise to manage vehicle resales will enhance program efficiency and fiscal return.
Fiscal Impacts:
The total estimated cost to acquire and outfit the ten (10) vehicles is $950,986.60. Available appropriations consist of $626,000 in the adopted FY 2026-27 Police Department General Fund Automobiles budget in account number 100-6070-6071-4910-0000-000 and $324,986.60 in FY 2025-26 carryover appropriations from various General Fund Police Administration accounts.
The vehicles will be acquired through a lease agreement under the City’s existing Master Equity Lease Agreement with Enterprise Fleet Management, Inc. The City intends to use the available appropriations to substantially pay down the lease obligations following acquisition, leaving only $1 and the nominal recurring monthly lease payments over the remaining lease term.
