SUMMARY
The adoption of this resolution will authorize the City Manager to establish a purchase order with Advanced Compliance Engineering Corporation (ACE) for maintenance of maintenance of fuel pumps and underground fuel storage tanks in the amount of Sixty- Three Thousand One Hundred Twelve Dollars and Three Cents ($63,112.03).
BACKGROUND
The Public Works City Yard houses fuel pumps and underground fuel storage tanks that supply fuel for the City’s fleet of vehicles and equipment, including Public Works, Parks and other municipal operations. These fuel systems are essential to maintaining uninterrupted City services and ensuring daily operational readiness.
Underground fuel storage tanks and dispensing equipment are subject to comprehensive oversight and regulation by federal, state and local agencies. Compliance requirements include routine inspections, leak detection testing, system monitoring, documentation, reporting and periodic maintenance to prevent environmental contamination and ensure public and employee safety.
Due to the technical complexity of these requirements and the potential liability associated with non-compliance, the City relies on specialized firms with expertise in fuel system maintenance and regulatory compliance.
STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE
The Public Works City Yard is subject to an extensive regulatory framework administered by multiple state and federal agencies, including, but not limited to:

SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COMPTON
ADOPTING THE TITLE VI PROGRAM UPDATE PURSUANT TO THE
CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF 1964 AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER
TO SUBMIT THE TITLE VI PROGRAM UPDATE TO THE FEDERAL
TRANSIT ADMINISTRATION
SUMMARY
The proposed Resolution adopts the City of Compton Title VI Program Update in compliance with the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and authorizes the City Manager to submit the approved Title VI Program Update to the Federal Transit Administration (FTA).
Adoption of this Resolution ensures the City remains eligible for continued federal transportation funding.
BACKGROUND
Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin in programs and activities receiving federal financial assistance. Section 601 of Title VI states:
“No person in the United States shall, on the ground of race, color, or national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.” As a recipient of federal transportation funds, the City of Compton is required by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) to prepare and submit a Title VI Program Update every three (3) years to demonstrate compliance with federal nondiscrimination requirements. The Title VI Program Update must be approved by the City Council prior to submission to the FTA. The FTA reviews the Program for compliance as a condition of continued receipt of federal transit assistance.
In October 2012, the FTA issued Circular 4702.1B, which clarified and expanded Title VI compliance requirements. Among other provisions, the updated guidance requires agencies to prepare a Public Participation Plan and provide enhanced documentation demonstrating equitable service delivery and meaningful access to programs and activities.
The Title VI Program Update consists of a comprehensive report and supporting documentation demonstrating:
2.2.2. Staff Report – Adopt the Title VI Program Update pursuant to the Civil Rights Act of 1964 March 17, 2026, Page 2 of 3
Equitable distribution of transit services
Promotion of full and fair participation in transportation decision-making Meaningful access to transit programs for individuals with Limited English Proficiency (LEP)
The City of Compton has completed its Title VI Program Update in accordance with FTA Circular 4702.1B. The Program addresses the eight required elements identified in FTA Circular 4702.1B as follows:
1. Notice to beneficiaries of their civil rights protections
2. Complaint procedures and complaint form
3. List of transit-related complaints, investigations, or lawsuits
4. Public Participation Plan
5. Language Assistance Plan
6. Collection and reporting of demographic data
7. Monitoring of transit service
8. Evaluation of service and fare changes
The Title VI Program reflects the City’s commitment to equity, nondiscrimination, and inclusive public engagement in the delivery of transportation services.
STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE
FTA regulations require approval of the Title VI Program Update by the governing board prior to submission to the FTA. Adoption of the Resolution provides formal authorization for the City Manager to submit the Title VI Program Update and serve as documentation of Council approval.
ALTERNATIVE
Failure to adopt and timely submit the Title VI Program Update would place the City in noncompliance with FTA requirements and could result in the suspension, delay, or loss of federal transportation funding. Therefore, no alternative action is recommended.
FISCAL IMPACT
Adoption of this Resolution has no direct fiscal impact and ensures the City’s continued eligibility for federal transportation funding. There are no additional General Fund costs associated with this action.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution approving the Title VI Program Update and authorizing its submission to the Federal Transit Administration.

Key Principles
The City of Compton Public Participation Plan has been prepared to ensure that no one is precluded from participating in the City of Compton’s service planning and development process. It ensures that:
Potentially affected community members will have an appropriate opportunity to participate in decisions about a proposed activity that will affect their environment and/or health; The public’s contribution can and will influence the City of Compton’s decision making; The concerns of all participants involved will be considered in the decision-making process; and
The City of Compton will seek out and facilitate the involvement of those potentially affected.
Through an open public process, the City of Compton has developed a public participation plan to encourage and guide public involvement efforts and enhance access to the City of Compton’s transportation decision-making process by minority, low-income, disabled, and the Limited English Proficient (LEP) populations. The public participation plan describes the overall goals, guiding principles and outreach methods that the City of Compton uses to reach its riders.
Limited English Proficient (LEP) refers to persons for whom English is not their primary language and who have a limited ability to read, write, speak, or understand English. It includes people who reported to the U.S. Census that they speak English less than very well, not well, or not at all.
The steps outlined in the Public Participation Plan offer early, continuous and meaningful opportunities for the public to be involved in the identification of social, economic and environmental impacts of proposed transportation decisions in the City of Compton. It is a guide for how the City engages its diverse community. The City may continue to improve its public participation methods over time based on feedback from all of its riders and community members including low-income, the disabled, minority and LEP populations as well as customer and community-based organizations.
8 Goals of the Public Participation Plan
The goals of the City of Compton’s participation plan include:
Public Participation – the process that clearly identifies and communicates where and how participants can have influence and directly impact decision making.
Commitment- how the City of Compton communicates regularly with our riders to develop trust with riders and build the community’s capacity to provide public input.
Diversity – our participants represent a range of socioeconomic, ethnic and cultural perspectives, with representative participants including residents from low income neighborhoods, the disabled, ethnic communities and residents from Limited English Proficiency.
Accessibility – to provide every reasonable effort to ensure that opportunities to participate are physically, geographically, linguistically, and culturally accessible.
Relevance – to ensure issues are framed in such a way that the significance and potential effect is understood by participants.
Participant Satisfaction – to ensure that people who take the time to participate feel it is worth the effort to join the discussion and provide feedback.
Partnerships – to develop and maintain partnerships with communities through the methods described in its public participation plan.
Quality Input and Participation – that comments received by the City of Compton are useful, relevant and constructive, contributing to better plans, projects, strategies and decisions.
OBJECTIVES OF THE PUBLIC PARTICIPATON PLAN
The City of Compton’s Public Participation Plan is based on the following principles:
Flexibility – the engagement process will accommodate participation in a variety of ways and be adjusted as needed.
Inclusiveness – the City of Compton will proactively reach out to and engage low income, minority and LEP populations from the City’s service area.
Respect – all feedback will be given careful and respectful consideration. 9 Proactive and Timeliness – participation methods will allow for early involvement and be ongoing.
Clear, Focused and Understandable – participation methods will have a clear purpose and use for providing input and will be described in a language that is easy to understand.
Honest and Transparent – information provided will be accurate, trustworthy and complete.
Responsiveness – respond and incorporate appropriate public comments into transportation decisions.
Accessibility – meetings will be held in locations which are ADA accessible and welcoming to all residents, including, but not limited to, low-income and minority members of the public and in locations relevant to the topics being presented and discussed. Meetings will also be held at various times to accommodate individuals who have non-traditional work schedules.
The City of Compton will use its public participation plan when considering fare changes, modifications to routes and schedules and other transit planning projects when:
A fare increase or significant change in the method of fare payment is being considered; A new route is established;
An existing route is proposed for elimination;
Considering the total discontinuance of service on any line or group of lines on any given day where service is currently offered;
Any system-wide change in service hours that exceeds 10% of the current total service hours;
Routing on any given route or group of routes that affects more than 25% of the riders using the affected route (s); or
Schedules are changed on any given route or group of routes that reduces the total number of one-way bus trips by more than 25% of the current number of bus trips; and For minor schedules and service changes not rising to the level of those above, the City will post service change notices on appropriate buses and stops thirty (30) days in advance of the change date.
The City has not had any major changes since the last Title VI report update. The City will however continue to make every effort to communicate to the community through the use of the City’s websites, community meetings, flyers, and social media. The City will continue to provide promotional material, notices, and fliers as part of its outreach efforts. 10 PUBLIC PARTICIPATION PROCESS
The City of Compton public participation plan includes many mediums such as legal notices and the City’s website. While there may be minor variation in the outreach process from time to time, the outline below provides the general steps for engaging riders in the decision making process.
1. A service, route, or fare change proposal is developed internally;
2. Ensure that the proposed change meets the Title VI requirements;

Identification of Stakeholders
Stakeholders are those who are either directly or indirectly affected by a plan, or the recommendations of that plan. Those who may be adversely affected, or who may be denied the benefit of a plan’s recommendation (s) is of particular interest in the identification of a specific stakeholders. Stakeholders can come from a number of groups including citizens/residents, minority and low-income communities, communities with disabilities, public agencies, and private organizations and businesses. While stakeholders may vary based on the plan or program being considered, the City of Compton will assemble a list with whom we regularly communicate with.
12 LANGUAGE ASSISTANCE PLAN
Purpose of the Language Assistance Plan
Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, and national origin in programs and activities receiving federal financial assistance. One critical concern addressed by Title VI is the language barrier that Limited English Proficiency (LEP) persons face with respect to accessing information about and using transit service. Transit operators must ensure that this group has adequate access to the agency’s programs and activities, including public participation opportunities.
Executive Order 13166, titled “Improving Access to Services for Persons with Limited English Proficiency,” forbid funding recipients from “restricting an individual in any way in the enjoyment of any advantage or privilege enjoyed by others receiving any service, financial aid, or other benefit under the program,” or from “utilize [ing] criteria or methods of administration which have the effect of subjecting individuals to discrimination because of their race, color, or national origin, or have the effect of defeating or substantially impairing accomplishment of the objectives of the program as respects to individuals of a particular race, color, or national origin.”
FTA Circular 4702.1B was developed by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and details the administrative and reporting requirements for recipients of FTA financial assistance to comply with Title VI and related executive orders including on LEP.
The United States Department of Transportation (DOT) published guidance that directed its recipients to ensure meaningful access to the benefits, services, information, and other important portions of their programs and activities for LEP customers.
In order to ensure meaningful access to programs and activities, the City of Compton uses the information obtained in a Four Factor Analysis to determine the specific language services that are appropriate. This analysis helps the City of Compton determine if it communicates effectively with the Limited English Proficiency (LEP) person and inform language access planning.
The Four Factor Analysis is a local assessment that considers:
1. The number or proportion of LEP persons eligible to be served or likely to be encountered by the City of Compton;
2. The frequency with which LEP persons come into contact with the City of Compton services and programs;
13 3. The nature and importance of the City of Compton’s services and programs in people’s lives; and
4. The resources available to the City of Compton for LEP outreach as well as the costs associated with that outreach.
Factor 1 – Number of LEP Persons in Service Region
The first step in determining the appropriate components of a Language Assistance Plan is understanding the proportion of LEP persons who may encounter the City of Compton’s services, their literacy skills in English and their native language, the location of their communities and neighborhoods, and more importantly, if any are underserved as a result of a language barrier.
To do this, the City of Compton evaluated the level of English literacy and to what degree people in its service area speak a language other than English and what those languages are.
Data for this review is derived from the United States Census Bureau “American Fact Finder” web portal data from 2010-2014.
Based upon the census data obtained, Spanish is the language group that constitutes five percent (5%) or 1,000 persons of the total population of persons eligible to be served or likely to be affected or encountered with the written translation obligations. Please see Appendix B.
Factor 2 – Frequency of LEP Use
There are a large number of places where the City of Compton riders and members of the LEP population can come into contact with the City of Compton services including the use of fixed route transit services. The City’s major point of contact will include communication with our bus operators, customer service center, and office staff regarding calls from patrons speaking languages other than English. The City will survey these groups annually. Based upon current data, the translation from Spanish to English is the area where language assistance is needed.
The City of Compton will survey key program areas and assess major points of contact with the public, such as
Use of bus service
Participation in public meetings
Customer service interactions
Ridership surveys
Bus Operators surveys to determine the frequency of contact with the LEP Community Facilitate meetings with seniors and people with disabilities 14 FACTOR 3-THE IMPORTANCE OF THE CITY OF COMPTON SERVICE TO PEOPLE’S LIVES
Access to the services provided by the City of Compton’s fixed route and para-transit services are critical to the lives of many in the region. From July 1, 2018 to June 30, 2019, 57,461 passengers travelled aboard the City’s fixed transit routes. Many depend on fixed route and para-transit services for access to jobs and for access to essential community services like schools, shopping and medical appointments. Riders eligible for service under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) require service for the same reasons. Because of the essential nature of the services and the importance of these programs in the lives of many of the region’s residents, there is a need to ensure that language is not a barrier to access our transit services.
The City will survey our riders to obtain a better understanding of the importance of the City’s transit services to the lives of the LEP community, seniors, and our disabled riders in the community.
FACTOR 4 – RESOURCES AND COSTS FOR LEP OUTREACH
The City provides bilingual pay to employees who are assigned to provide bilingual translation services. Employees are required to pass a qualifying examination administered by the City’s Human Resources Department to determine their proficiency for bilingual assignments.
Language Assistance Plan
The City of Compton is committed to providing resources to improve access to its services and programs for LEP persons. Bilingual information (English/Spanish) will be distributed in a number of methods including:
Bilingual English/Spanish system timetable
Bilingual English/Spanish representation at public meetings Bilingual English/Spanish outreach material
Provide training to staff to help them interact with the LEP community Provide translation assistance for members of our LEP community The City of Compton will provide notices on all our buses and frequently utilized public facilities such as City Hall, the library, the senior citizen center, transit center and the community college regarding providing language assistance to our LEP residents. The City will consider using a 3 rd party translation service to assist with oral translation for Spanish speaking or other required languages if necessary. The City will also monitor, evaluate, and update the language access 15 plan. The costs associated with these efforts fit within the City of Compton’s marketing and outreach budget.
The Translation of Vital Documents
The City translated vital documents into Spanish. The translation of vital documents included, but not limited to, the following documents: consent and complaint forms, intake and applications forms with the potential for important consequences, written notices of rights, written notices of losses or decreased in benefits or services, notices informing LEP persons of free language assistance services, ADA complimentary para-transit applications and other documents that provide access to essential services, Title VI Civil Rights Notice, Title VI Complaint form, and Title VI Complaint Procedures. The translation of the documents was completed.
Training Staff
Training will be an on-going activity. The Title VI policy will be provided annually to all employees who come into contact with our LEP community. The City will provide training for basic language translation when requested. The training of appropriate staff to include providing training to drivers or staff members who may lack sensitivity or who respond inappropriately to persons with limited English proficiency. The City believes in empowering employees by providing them opportunities to learn Spanish.
Providing Notice to LEP Persons
LEP persons will be notified of the language services available through the Compton Renaissance by the following means:
On-board posters and posters at bus shelters
Posting signs at the entry point of our transit facility Website posting
Notices on bus schedules
Monitoring and Updating the LEP Plan
The City of Compton will continue to use the LEP Plan as an active planning tool with appropriate updates to the plan every 3 years as data and demographics in ridership changes occur. The City will continue to outreach to organizations that advocate for persons with Limited English Proficiency. The City will provide training to staff to adequately serve the needs of our customers. The City will provide the appropriate resources necessary to ensure that the needs of our LEP population are met.

TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COMPTON
AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO AN AMENDED
AND RESTATED AGREEMENT WITH THE LOS ANGELES GATEWAY
REGION INTEGRATED REGIONAL WATER MANAGEMENT JOINT
POWERS AUTHORITY AND ISSUE A PURCHASE ORDER IN THE
AMOUNT OF $74,061.
SUMMARY
Staff requests City Council authorization for the City Manager to enter into an Amended and Restated Agreement with the Los Angeles Gateway Region Integrated Regional Water Management Joint Powers Authority (GWMA) and to issue a purchase order in the amount of $74,061 for Fiscal Year 2025-2026.
This action ensures the City’s continued compliance with federal and state water quality regulations through participation in the Lower Los Angeles River Watershed Management Group (LLAR WMG) Coordinated Integrated Monitoring Program (CIMP).
BACKGROUND
The City is a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit holder subject to multiple Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) requirements governing stormwater discharges to the Lower Los Angeles River watershed.
To comply with these regulatory requirements, regional agencies formed the Lower Los Angeles River Watershed Management Group (LLAR WMG) to implement a Coordinated Integrated Monitoring Program (CIMP). The program provides watershed-level monitoring, data collection, and reporting required under the MS4 Permit (Order R4-2021- 0105, NPDES No. CAS004004).
The LLAR WMG has authorized GWMA to administer consultant services and cost- sharing agreements among participating agencies. The City previously entered into a cost-sharing agreement with GWMA in 2021. The proposed Amended and Restated Agreement updates that arrangement to reflect expanded monitoring requirements and revised cost allocations.
3.3.3. Staff Report – Amended and Restated Agreement with the Los Angeles Gateway Region Integrated Regional Water Management Joint Powers Authority
March 17, 2026, Page 2 of 3
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The proposed Amended and Restated Agreement will:
1. Extend the term through September 30, 2030;
2. Incorporate the City into the updated CIMP cost-sharing formula;
3. Expand required monitoring within Compton Creek; and
4. Clarify the City’s responsibility for monitoring costs specific to Compton Creek, in addition to its proportionate share of regional monitoring expenses.
Participation in the regional program provides cost efficiencies, distributes monitoring costs among participating agencies, promotes regulatory consistency, avoids duplication of services, and reduces the City’s exposure to potential enforcement actions. Conducting the required monitoring independently would likely result in significantly higher costs and administrative burden.
Approval of this Agreement is necessary to maintain compliance with enforceable TMDL and MS4 permit requirements under state and federal law.
ALTERNATIVE
The alternative would be for the City to independently conduct all required monitoring activities at significantly higher cost and reduced regional coordination. Staff does not recommend this option.
FISCAL IMPACT
The City’s financial obligations under the Agreement are as follows:
Description FY 2025-2026 Beginning FY 2026-2027
Flat-rate cost share for CIMP
Revisions
$20,000 $0
50% of FY 2026-2027 Estimated
Average Annual Cost for Compton

Shared Tasks
$54,061 $0
Estimated Ongoing Average Annual
Cost for Compton Creek Monitoring
and Other LLAR Shared Tasks
$0 $108,121
Estimated Total $74,061 $108,121
Funds in the amount of $74,061 are available in the FY 2025-2026 Public Works Engineering Budget, Account No. 1529-710-000-4262.
The FY 2026-2027 amount represents the City’s estimated ongoing annual cost for Compton Creek monitoring and related shared program expenses. The estimated Staff Report – Amended and Restated Agreement with the Los Angeles Gateway Region Integrated Regional Water Management Joint Powers Authority
March 17, 2026, Page 3 of 3
annual cost of $108,121 will be incorporated into future budget appropriations. Annual costs are subject to review and approval through the LLAR WMG annual budget process and may be adjusted based on monitoring scope and regulatory requirements.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution authorizing the City Manager to:
1. Enter into the Amended and Restated Agreement with GWMA; and
2. Issue a purchase order in the amount of $74,061 for Fiscal Year 2025-2026.

TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COMPTON
AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO A
PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT AND ESTABLISH A
PURCHASE ORDER WITH SELBERT PERKINS DESIGN FOR
MUNICIPAL BRANDING AND MARKETING CONSULTING SERVICES
IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED NINETY-EIGHT THOUSAND THREE
HUNDRED SEVENTY-FIVE DOLLARS AND ZERO CENTS ($98,375.00)
SUMMARY
Staff respectfully requests that the City Council adopt the attached resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into a professional services agreement with Selbert Perkins Design for municipal branding and marketing consulting services, including research and community engagement, brand strategy development, visual identity and logo design, brand standards and style guide creation, marketing and communication planning, and implementation guidance, and to establish a purchase order in the amount of $98,375.00.
BACKGROUND
The City of Compton has periodically evaluated opportunities to enhance its image and strengthen civic identity. In 2007, a conceptual branding initiative titled “Birthing a New Compton” was developed as part of early discussions to reimagine the City’s public image and promote community pride.
Since that time, the City’s visual identity and communication materials have remained largely unchanged and inconsistent citywide and across departments. As the City continues to evolve and pursue economic development, revitalization, and community engagement initiatives, it is important that its branding accurately reflects Compton’s progress and vision for the future.
A cohesive and professionally developed municipal brand will enable the City to unify communications citywide and across departments, more effectively engage residents and stakeholders, and position Compton as a desirable place to live, work, visit, and invest.

STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE
The City’s current branding has become outdated and fragmented and no longer reflects Compton’s identity, civic pride, or forward-looking goals. The absence of a unified branding framework has resulted in inconsistent visual and messaging standards citywide and across City departments including public-facing materials.
To address these deficiencies, the City must implement a comprehensive, professionally developed municipal branding program that is informed by community engagement, aligned with economic development objectives, and designed for long-term use.
Selbert Perkins Design is a multidisciplinary design firm with more than thirty (30) years of experience providing municipal branding, placemaking, and marketing services for cities and public agencies throughout California and nationwide. The company proposes a collaborative scope of work that includes research and community engagement, brand strategy development, visual identity and logo design, brand standards and style guide creation, marketing and communication planning, and implementation guidance to ensure a cohesive and sustainable City brand.
On November 13, 2025, staff issued a Request for Proposal (“RFP”) for the preparation of Municipal Branding and Marketing Consulting Services. The RFP was published in the Compton Bulletin, distributed via email to qualified vendors, and posted on Planet Bids.
Six (6) proposals were received as follows:
Contractor RFP Price
Selbert Perkins Design $98,375
McGregor Shott $128,000
SNAP Marketing LLC $265,625
North Star Place Branding $90,000
MC2 $106,560
JPW Communications LLC $106,740
The Evaluation Committee (Committee) determined that the proposal submitted by Selbert Perkins Design was the most responsive and responsible based on the evaluation criteria outlined in the RFP. Accordingly, the Committee recommends awarding a contract to Selbert Perkins Design for the preparation of the City’s Municipal Branding and Marketing Consulting Services.

Project Understanding
The City of Compton is seeking to build a unified, forward-looking municipal brand that reflects its community pride, diverse culture, and economic potential. This initiative aims to shift perceptions, foster civic pride, and elevate Compton’s position as a dynamic, desirable place to live, work, and invest. SPD understands the City’s goal to develop a comprehensive branding and marketing strategy that is rooted in research, informed by community voices, and designed for long-term impact.
Our team recognizes that successful municipal branding must go beyond a logo. It requires a process that uncovers the authentic story of the city and translates that narrative into a visual and verbal identity that connects with residents, businesses, and external audiences alike. We are committed to a collaborative process that engages stakeholders, aligns with strategic priorities, and creates a brand that Compton can champion with confidence.
Scope of Work Overview:

Inclusive engagement is central to our branding process. SPD will design a multi-layered strategy to ensure that the voices of Compton’s residents, business owners, civic leaders, and community partners are heard and reflected in the final brand. Our approach combines digital accessibility with opportunities for in-depth discussion and creative input.
We will initiate engagement through citywide Google Surveys to gather broad community input on perceptions, values, and aspirations. This quantitative data will be supplemented with virtual and in-person focus groups tailored to key audiences including residents, youth, businesses, and civic leadership. Each session will be structured to encourage meaningful dialogue, identify key themes, and surface stories that will inform both brand narrative and visual identity.
Engagement Components:
• Citywide Google Survey for broad public feedback
• Virtual focus groups with stakeholders, community leaders, and business owners • In-person engagement workshops and creative input sessions • Bilingual outreach tools and culturally responsive facilitation • Synthesis of engagement insights into brand strategy and creative development City of Compton - Branding and Marketing Services

Cancellation/Postponement
In the event of the Client’s cancellation or postponement of the project while it is in progress, all fees and expenses, incurred in the interest of the project to date of postponement or cancellation shall be paid by the Client within 10 days of the date that notice is given to SPD, unless otherwise agreed to in advance by SPD. SPD may withdraw from the project at any time for good cause which includes the Client’s breach of this agreement, refusal to cooperate with SPD, or failure to pay SPD’s fees or expenses according to agreed upon payment terms.
Releases
For editorial copy, artwork (including illustration and photography), etc. provided by the Client, and for use rights negotiated by the Client for editorial copy, artwork, talent etc., the Client will indemnify SPD against all claims and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, due to uses for which no release was requested of SPD in writing by the Client or for uses by the Client which exceed the authority granted by a release. Conversely, for editorial copy, artwork (including illustration and photography), talent etc. provided by SPD, and for use rights negotiated by SPD for editorial copy, artwork, etc., SPD will indemnify the Client against all claims and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, due to uses for which no release was requested of the Client in writing or for uses which exceed the authority granted by a release.
Approvals
SPD requires written documentation of ALL requests for changes, including to designs and copy.
Documentation may be in the form of an e-mail. The Client will proofread and approve all copy before production of final piece; review and approve finished design elements and artwork before release to printers or fabricators; and review and approve all design intent, construction documents and related sign message schedules prior to release to qualified fabricators.

When possible, all outside vendors will be contracted directly by the Client and the Client will pay the outside vendor directly for services. When it is not possible for the Client to contract directly with outside vendors, SPD may contract with others to provide creative services such as writing, photography, illustration, media placement, print and audio/video production, and fabrication. The Client agrees to be bound by any terms and conditions, including required credits, with respect to reproduction of such materials as may be imposed on SPD by such third parties and shall pay for the outside vendors’ services upon presentation of an invoice.

Estimates
SPD has no direct control over printing and fabrication costs or vendors’ prices. Cost estimates are made by SPD on the basis of preliminary specifications and SPD cannot and does not guarantee that vendors’ proposals and bids of costs will not vary from those estimates.
Ownership/Use
Upon payment of all amounts owing to SPD, SPD shall transfer copies of all relevant electronic files generated for the production of the project to Client for Client’s use and enjoyment. Notwithstanding Client’s possession of such materials, SPD shall retain the sole and exclusive ownership of all rights, title, and interest (including without limitation all copyrights, trademarks, trade dress, and patents) related to the project, excluding any intellectual property that constitutes the Client’s pre-existing property.
For the avoidance of doubt, the use by Client of the project and all materials related thereto shall be granted as a non-exclusive license revocable for cause. Cause shall be found in the event Client grants or attempts to grant to any third parties the right to use the project or materials without first obtaining consent in writing from SPD. Client’s failure to obtain SPD’s prior, written consent shall render any such grant of rights null and void ab initio. SPD may deny any such grant in its sole discretion. If SPD approves any such proposed uses, additional compensation shall be paid to SPD in an amount to be negotiated in good faith between SPD and Client. All rights not expressly granted herein remain the sole property of SPD, and Client agrees never to challenge any such rights.
Code Compliance and Approval Policy
SPD provides design drawings based on our interpretation of site-specific code compliance standards.
However, code requirements are subject to updates and can vary depending on the location and the reviewing authority. For this reason, it is recommended of ownership to engage third-party compliance officers, specialty consultants, and engineers to review and approve signage for conformance with all applicable codes and structural requirements. This review may involve professionals such as ADA compliance officers, Fire Marshals, Health Department representatives, structural engineers, electricians, plumbers, or other specialists as required by the project scope. Final approval should be coordinated by ownership in collaboration with these officers, consultants, or departments prior to fabrication and installation. Additionally, all final design details, signage locations, and messaging must be thoroughly reviewed and approved by ownership before fabrication begins.
Project Storage
Project and electronic files will be stored at SPD for one (1) year at no cost. However, SPD cannot be held responsible for loss or damage of stored files.
Credit
SPD has the right to include a credit line on the completed designs or any visual representations such as drawings, models or photographs and the Client agrees to include this same credit in any publication of the design by the Client. SPD maintains the right to use any samples and/or photographs for publication, exhibition and promotional purposes.
Enforcement
If SPD incurs attorneys’ fees or related costs to enforce this agreement or because of a breach of this agreement by the Client, SPD shall be entitled to recover all of its costs and expenses, including but not limited to, its reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs from the Client.
Indemnification
The Client will indemnify and hold harmless SPD, its officers, directors, employees, and agents that have contributed information to or provided services for this project, against any and all direct or indirect losses, claims, demands, expenses (including attorneys’ fees and court costs) or liabilities of any kind arising in connection thereof, except for claims found to be gross negligence or a breach of this agreement by SPD.
State of California
This agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California. If either party hereto is a corporation, trust, or general or limited partnership, each individual executing agreements on behalf of such entity represents and warrants that he or she is duly authorized to do so on behalf of said entity.

Selbert Perkins Design created a new brand identity, strategy, and brand style guide for the Town of Winchester, Massachusetts. As a part of a greater evaluation of the Town’s image and positioning in the region, SPD worked closely with stakeholders and the public to develop the new brand and conducted an on-line survey which provided a range of voices the opportunity to engage with the process. In conjunction with external marketing partners, SPD also developed a branding strategy that supports Winchester’s new objectives for economic growth and positioning. The final brand, which was overwhelmingly selected by survey populations, draws from landmarks in the historic Boston suburb.

March 17, 2026
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COMPTON
AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO AMEND THE
PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH BOWMAN
INFRASTRUCTURE ENGINEERS LTD. AND ESTABLISH A
PURCHASE ORDER FOR ADDITIONAL CONSTRUCTION
MANAGEMENT AND INSPECTION SERVICES FOR THE ROAD
REPAIR SERVICES PROJECT, PHASE IX ($204,116.70)
SUMMARY
Adoption of the proposed Resolution will authorize the City Manager to amend the existing professional services agreement with Bowman Infrastructure Engineers Ltd. (Bowman) and establish a purchase order in the amount of $204,116.70 for the additional construction management and inspection (CM&I) services associated with the Road Repair Services Project, Phase IX.
BACKGROUND
The City of Compton is committed to improving the safety, functionality, and long-term performance of its transportation infrastructure in accordance with the Pavement Management Plan adopted by the City Council on September 3, 2024. Through targeted rehabilitation and safety enhancement efforts, the City continues to improve mobility for motorists, pedestrians, and bicyclists while extending the service life of its roadway network.
The Road Repair Services Project, Phase IX, consists of grind and overlay operations and related improvements, including:
Mobilization and traffic control
Best management practices (BMPs)
Pothole repairs and asphalt installation
Manhole adjustments
Pavement striping, markings, and legends
Removal and installation of speed humps and traffic loops Furnishing and installation of street name and regulatory signage Improvements across 35 designated street segments
10.10.10.10. Staff Report – First Amendment with Bowman Infrastructure Engineers Ltd.
Construction Management/Inspection Services – Road Repair Services Project, Phase IX March 17, 2026, Page 2 of 4
On September 2, 2025, pursuant to Resolution No. 26,293, the City Council authorized the City Manager to execute a construction agreement with Hardy & Harper, Inc. in the amount of $5,579,200 for Phase IX. Construction commenced on November 10, 2025, and is anticipated to be completed in March 2026.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
On October 15, 2024, pursuant to Resolution No. 26,137, the City Council authorized a professional services agreement with Bowman in the amount of $257,977 to provide CM&I services for Road Repair Services Project, Phase VIII. Phase VIII was completed in July 2025 and improved 16 street segments. As of October 31, 2025, the financial status of the agreement was as follows. Total CM&I services of $177,441.20 represented approximately 7.4% of the Phase VIII construction contract value ($2,397,188.30).
Description Amount
Original Contract Amount $257,977.00
Billed Amounts as of 10/31/2025 for Phase VIII $177,441.20 Remaining as of 10/31/2025 $ 85,535.80
To support Phase IX construction activities through completion, the total CM&I services required are estimated at $289,652.50. After applying the remaining balance of $85,535.80 from the original agreement, an additional $204,116.70 is required, as summarized below:
Description Amount
Total Estimated CM&I Services Needed for Phase IX $289,652.50 Remaining Budget from Original Agreement $ 85,535.80
Amendment Amount Requested $204,116.70
The total CM&I services of $289,652.50 for Phase IX represent approximately 5.2% of the construction contract value ($5,579,200), which is consistent with industry norms for roadway rehabilitation projects of this scale.
The proposed amendment is based on Bowman’s proposal dated February 3, 2026, and will provide continuous CM&I services through the anticipated project completion in March 2026. The scope of services includes, but is not limited to:
1. Pre-construction conference
2. Management information system oversight
3. Review of traffic control plans
4. Construction meetings
5. Issue management
6. Schedule monitoring
Staff Report – First Amendment with Bowman Infrastructure Engineers Ltd.
Construction Management/Inspection Services – Road Repair Services Project, Phase IX March 17, 2026, Page 3 of 4
7. Cost control
8. Labor compliance
9. RFIs and submittal review
10.Change order management
11.Dispute resolution support
12.Quality control and inspection
13.Material testing and compaction reporting
14.Public relations coordination
15.Permit and environmental compliance
16.Progress payment review
17.Monthly status reporting
18.Site safety monitoring
19.Drone documentation (Pre- and post-construction)
20.As-built drawing review
21.Final walkthrough and project closeout
Amending the existing agreement ensures continuity of project oversight, preserves institutional knowledge, avoids mobilization inefficiencies associated with onboarding a new consultant, and allows the City to complete the project efficiently without delay.
ALTERNATIVE
The project requires specialized technical oversight and continuous daily field inspection. The Public Works Engineering Department does not currently have sufficient staffing capacity to provide the required level of continuous inspection, documentation, and contract administration.
Re-procuring CM&I services at this stage would likely result in project delays and additional administrative costs. Therefore, no alternative is recommended.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds in the amount of $204,116.70 are available in the City of Compton Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Budget under Account No. 1900-710-000-4262. There is no impact to the General Fund beyond the adopted budget.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution authorizing the City Manager to:
1. Amend the professional services agreement with Bowman Infrastructure Engineers Ltd.; and
Staff Report – First Amendment with Bowman Infrastructure Engineers Ltd.
Construction Management/Inspection Services – Road Repair Services Project, Phase IX March 17, 2026, Page 4 of 4
2. Establish a purchase order in the amount of $204,116.70 for additional construction management and inspection services for Road Repair Services Project, Phase IX.

Project Manager

Compton, CA 90220
Re: Proposal for Construction management and Inspection Services Dear Mr. Strickland:
We are pleased to submit this Proposal for Construction Management and Inspection Services for the City’s 2025 Road Repair Project. The construction contract with Hardy Harper was awarded by the City Council in October, with a project duration of 180 working days. However, based on the schedule that they provided, the anticipated project completion date is end of February 2026.
To support the delivery of construction management and inspection services for this year’s project, the City agreed to amend Bowman’s original agreement, which was approved by the City Council back on October 15, 2024. Since funds remained under the original agreement, the City authorized Bowman to proceed with providing construction management and inspection services for the City’s 2025 Road Repair Project, with a formal amendment to follow to allocate the additional funds required for this effort.
We are currently halfway through the road repair project with Hardy Harper and the additional fees outlined in this Proposal will be needed to support the remaining construction management and inspection services through the anticipated date of completion of end of February 2026. As such, this Proposal, together with all attachments, will constitute a binding agreement (“Agreement”) between Bowman and the City of Compton (“Client”).
Our understanding is that the construction duration for this project is 180 calendar days, as stated in the Notice Inviting Bids. However, based on the Contractor’s schedule, all work, including change order items, punch list tasks, and close-out activities is anticipated to be completed by the end of February 2026. It is assumed that this proposal is for construction management and inspection services covering Bowman’s time, through end of February, as noted above. Any additional services, including but not limited to any extended working days requested by the Contractor will be billed on a Time and Materials basis in accordance with the attached Hourly Rate Schedule. All additional services will be submitted to the City for approval prior to the performance of the work.
The additional fees required to provide construction management and inspection services through the end of February 2026 total $204,116.70. Attachment “A” provides a detailed breakdown of both the carried over amount and the projected cost to support the project through completion.
