Governments that allocates an additional $11,223,000 from available Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fees funds to the McKinley Street Grade Separation Project.
c. Authorize a revenue increase in the amount of $11,223,000 in the TUMF – WRCOG Fund 479 and appropriate the same amount to the McKinley Street Grade Separation Capital Improvement Project No. ST-2012-01.
BACKGROUND & HISTORY:
The City of Corona is nearing completion of the McKinley Street Grade Separation Project (Project). The Project includes the construction of a 4-lane overhead grade separation with pre-cast panel/mechanically stabilized earth retaining wall systems over the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway (BNSF) railroad crossing and Arlington Channel south of Sampson Avenue. Additional improvements include loop on-ramp, slip on-ramp, new loop road, and modifications to the State Route 91 eastbound off-ramp. The Project has been primarily funded by State Senate Bill 132, along with several other state and local funding sources.
During the course of construction, the City encountered structural steel shortages and unforeseen delays in the fabrication process of the bridge and moving of the bridge into place over the railroad tracks and adjacent channel. As a result of the delays and other circumstances, the City’s Project team reassessed the cost of completion of the Project and determined that additional funding was required to offset the estimated increase in the overall Project cost. Staff approached the Riverside County Transportation Commission which contributed $10 million toward the Project’s shortfall that was accepted by the City Council at its regular meeting in October 2, 2024 and also recommended the city reach out to the Western Riverside Council of Governments (WRCOG) to pursue additional funding sources to balance the deficit.
ANALYSIS:
For the past twenty-five (25) years, WRCOG has administered the Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fees (TUMF) Program to make improvements to the regional transportation network within Riverside County. In August 2005, the City entered into a funding agreement with (WRCOG) that provided $1,630,600 to supplement the design and environmental phases of the Project. At its regular executive committee meeting on October 7, 2024, WRCOG approved an allocation of an additional $11,223,000 from the TUMF program to supplement construction and various program expenditures for the Project. The Third Amendment to the Funding Agreement is being amended for a total of $12,853,600 to be contributed for the Project.
This funding will provide the remaining amount necessary to complete the Project.
Approval of the recommended actions will provide revised available funding as follows:
Project Funding
Funding Source Amount
State Senate Bill 132 $84,450,000
Trade Corridor Enhancement Program (TCEP) $10,300,000
Measure A Western County Regional Arterial (MARA) $9,889,692 City of Corona Measure X Funds $5,001,956
Section 190 Grade Separation Program $5,000,000
Local Measure A $4,025,000
Burlington North Santa Fe Railway (BNSF) Contributions $3,810,000 Highway Railroad Crossing Safety Crossing Account (HRCSA) $2,876,960 Transportation Development Act (TDA) $2,000,000
Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fees (TUMF) $12,853,600 Western Municipal Water District (WMWD) Cooperative Agreement $1,439,143 Development Impact Fees (DIF) – Drainage $1,000,000
Development Impact Fees (DIF) – Streets/Signals $1,000,000 Gas Tax $729,724
Road Maintenance Rehabilitation Accountability (RMRA) $500,000 SB 125 Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program (TIRCP) $10,000,000 Total $154,876,075
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Approval of the recommended action will result in an appropriation and estimated revenue increase in the amount of $11,223,00 million from the TUMF – WRCOG Fund 479 to the McKinley Street Grade Separation Capital Improvement Project No. ST-2012-01.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
Per Public Resources Code Section 21080.13, all railroad grade separation projects that eliminate an existing at-grade crossing are exempt from the laws for the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). As a grade separation project, the McKinley Street Grade Separation is statutorily exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act.
Furthermore, the recommended actions are accepting a new funding source and appropriating the funding to the McKinley Street Grade Separation Project No. 2012-12, and there is no possibility that accepting the funding will have a significant impact on the environment. Therefore, no environmental analysis is required.

Staff Report
Subject: TUMF Program Activities Update: Approval of One TUMF Reimbursement Agreement Amendment
Contact: Brian Piche-Cifuentes, Transportation Analyst I, [email protected], (951) 405-6705
Date: October 7, 2024
Recommended Action(s):
1. Authorize the Executive Director to execute a third TUMF Reimbursement Agreement Amendment with the City of Corona for the Planning, Engineering, and Construction Phases of the McKinley Street / BNSF Railroad Grade Separation Project in an amount not to exceed $12,853,600.
Summary:
The City of Corona is requesting to enter into a TUMF Reimbursement Agreement Amendment with WRCOG for an $11,223,000 investment to construct a 4-lane grade separation at the BNSF crossing on McKinley Street, including sidewalks, bicycle lanes, and a tied arch bridge. The project aims to improve infrastructure, reduce traffic congestion, and enhance quality of life, with a total cost not exceeding $12,853,600.
Purpose / WRCOG 2022-2027 Strategic Plan Goal:
The purpose of this item is to request approval of one TUMF Reimbursement Agreement Amendment.
This effort supports WRCOG's 2022-2027 Strategic Plan Goal #5 (Develop projects and programs that improve infrastructure and sustainable development in our subregion).
Discussion:
Background
WRCOG's TUMF Program is a subregional fee program designed to provide transportation and transit infrastructure that mitigates the impact of new growth in western Riverside County. A Reimbursement Agreement is a document between WRCOG and a member agency that allows WRCOG to provide funding for TUMF expenses incurred for the Planning, Design, Engineering, and/or Construction Phase(s) of a TUMF project. To enter into a Reimbursement Agreement, the funding for the project must first be allocated in the appropriate TUMF Zone Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). TUMF Agreements and Amendments are initiated by their respective agencies when that agency is ready for the infrastructure development.
A TUMF Credit Agreement is a document between WRCOG, a member agency, and a developer, and allows WRCOG to provide credit towards TUMF fees. This credit is established by work completed for the Planning, Design, Engineering, and/or Construction Phase(s) of a TUMF facility. To enter into a Credit Agreement, the project must have eligible funding identified in WRCOG's current TUMF Nexus Study. TUMF Credit Agreements give credit for eligible infrastructure built as part of new development.
Developers contribute to the TUMF Program through direct work on facilities. The maximum amount of credit a developer can receive is determined through the TUMF Nexus Study project list.
Present Situation
TUMF Reimbursement Agreement Amendment:
1. The McKinley Street / BNSF Railroad Grade Separation (05-NW-COR-1048) set the amount of funding in the Planning and Engineering phases to an amount not to exceed $1,630,600. An increase in project funding has now been requested by the City in a third Amendment of $11,223,000, for a total not to exceed $12,853,600.
Prior Action(s):
October 30, 2010: The Executive Committee authorized the Executive Director to execute a second TUMF Reimbursement Agreement Amendment with the City of Corona for the McKinley Street / BNSF Railroad Separation in an amount not to exceed $1,630,600.
March 17, 2010: The Executive Committee authorized the Executive Director to execute a first TUMF Reimbursement Agreement Amendment with the City of Corona for the McKinley Street / BNSF Railroad Separation in an amount not to exceed $1,750,000
August 30, 2005: The Executive Committee authorized the Executive Director to execute a TUMF Reimbursement Agreement with the City of Corona for the McKinley Street / BNSF Railroad Separation in an amount not to exceed $1,500,000.
Financial Summary:
The Reimbursement Agreement noted is consistent and included within the respective Zone TIP. These liabilities are reflected as fiduciary fund long-term debt in WRCOG's financials under the TUMF Fund.

BACKGROUND & HISTORY:
The City of Corona is nearing completion of the McKinley Street Grade Separation Project (Project). The Project includes the construction of a 4-lane overhead grade separation with pre-cast panel/mechanically stabilized earth retaining wall systems over the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway (BNSF) railroad crossing and Arlington Channel south of Sampson Avenue. Additional improvements include loop on-ramp, slip on-ramp, new loop road and modifications to the State Route 91 eastbound off-ramp. The Project has been primarily funded by State Senate Bill 132, along with several other state and local funding sources.
As a result of the unforeseen delays in the bridge fabrication process, the current schedule for substantial completion is anticipated to occur in the second quarter of 2025.
The tentative schedule is contingent on weather conditions, potential impacts during the winter construction moratorium for work with BNSF and Caltrans’ right of way, and any unforeseen issues that could be encountered during the final phases of construction.
Upon completion of the Project, the various project funds will require close-out documentation for miscellaneous acquisition of rights of way needed for the project, construction management and oversight, and project administrative needs to each agency administering Project funds. The City’s Project team estimates closeout and final support to occur through December 31, 2026. The recommended actions in this staff report will provide continuing project management and support services necessary through substantial completion and Project closeout.
ANALYSIS:
The additional services from Falcon will include construction management and inspection services through Project completion, close-out documentation in relation to all construction items (bid information, requests for information/clarification, change orders, work order directives, inspection forms, submittal logs backup information, etc.). The additional services from Mark Thomas will include program management support through completion of substantial construction completion, the remaining property acquisition efforts, and supporting documentation/services for miscellaneous funds and closeout documentation. The additional services from BCA will provide continuing design support services through completion, including review of substitutions and specialty submittals, administration of the public outreach campaign, as necessary changes to mitigate unforeseen conditions, and development of an operations/maintenance plan for the bridge and various project improvements.
All work within the railroad right-of-way requires the presence of BNSF authorized flagging personnel, and the schedule delays also created the need for continuing flagging services. The additional services from RailPros will provide necessary flagging services through construction completion.
City staff has conducted negotiations to identify the appropriate scope of services from each consultant through the current completion date. The recommended actions are the most beneficial for maintaining the ongoing schedule and avoiding potential delays caused by service interruptions.
Therefore, staff recommends that the City Council approve the Second Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with Falcon, the Third Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with Mark Thomas, the Fifth Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with BCA, and the First Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with RailPros.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Funding for the recommended actions is available in the McKinley Street Grade Separation Capital Improvement Project No. ST-2012-01 within various funding sources.
The total fees associated with the recommended actions are identified as part of the current Project budget as follows:
Project Expenditures
Expenditure Source Amount
Design $13,819,429
Project Management $4,103,565
Construction Management and Inspection Services $13,819,429 Estimated BNSF Railway Company Fees/Costs $1,000,000

Task 4 – GEOTECHNICAL AND MATERIALS TESTING AND
INSPECTION
Purpose:
To provide geotechnical and materials testing and inspection services for the project with the purpose of determining quality and acceptability of materials and workmanship incorporated into the project and to confirm compliance with the contract documents.
Approach:
CONSULTANT will coordinate and manage the utilization of Converse Consultants (CONVERSE) for the purpose of providing materials testing for concrete, LWCC, soils and other miscellaneous materials on the project.
CONVERSE will furnish the necessary personnel and equipment to perform the required testing for the McKinley Grade Separation Project. The number of testing personnel assigned to the Project may vary throughout the duration of the construction contract to meet the Project needs. CONVERSE testing requests will be assigned as needed by the Resident Engineer to meet the schedule of the construction contractor.
Based on our review of the project plans and specifications the scope of work will likely include the tasks listed below.
1. Document Review
CONVERSE will review project plans, specifications, and geotechnical report to gain a thorough understanding of the required material sampling and testing frequencies and test methods to be used.
2. Observation and Testing of Earthwork
CONVERSE will have a technician available on site on an as-needed basis or full time, if necessary, to sample and test material, observe the methods used by the contractor to place material and document field observation and test results. The technician will verify that all unsuitable material as identified in the materials report are removed, processed and placed back as compacted fill.
The technician will also ascertain that the import soils meet the project specification. Samples will be collected, and tests will be conducted for verification.
During the course of fill placement, the technician will be available to observe that the thickness of each lift is as specified. The technician will take in-place density tests to assure that adequate moisture content and relative compaction as required by the project specifications are being achieved. The relative compaction will be determined by California Test Method 231. For each determination of relative compaction, laboratory compaction tests per Caltrans 216 will be performed, except when the use of previous laboratory maximum densities is allowed. Previous laboratory maximum dry densities will be used Docusign Envelope ID: 0D7EA126-7C53-4103-BFFC-A19F7C6BE0D3 Docusign Envelope ID: 9A29F6CF-BD04-4C19-AF22-22DBC5C755B9

to determine relative compaction if the material, as determined by the engineer, is from the same general excavation or plant source and has the same visual characteristics of color, gradation, and soil classification as the previous laboratory maximum dry densities. No maximum dry density will be used for more than 5 working days.
Our field representative will work closely with the Resident Engineer (RE) and keep him appraised of any issues on a daily basis. The technician will document any construction practices that may cause non-conforming results and report to the Resident Engineer immediately. Copies of all test results will be given to the CM representative at the end of each working day. Failed tests will be noted in the daily report and included in the test results sheet.
3. Batch Plant Inspection
Caltrans certified and experienced technicians will inspect the concrete and asphalt batch plants during production. A daily report stating all the observations made during the time of inspection will be prepared and submitted to the Resident Engineer. The Plant Inspector will have a copy of the approved mix design, indicating the aggregate source, manufacturer and grade of asphalt binder, and plant proposed to mix the AC.
The plant inspector will have on hand enough one-quart asphalt sample cans to provide up to 2 asphalt binder samples for each day of production.
Cardboard boxes will be available to sample the completed AC mixture for future testing. A calibrated thermometer or infrared gun for verifying the temperature of the aggregate or the completed mix will be available. When taking aggregate samples, metal pails, sample bags, sample bag funnel, wire ties, wire twister, permanent marking pens for labeling sample bags, TL-101 booklets, heavy duty gloves, safety glasses, hard hat and appropriate clothing will be available. The plant inspector will sample enough materials to be tested in accordance with Caltrans Construction Manual, Chapter 39. The plant inspector will visually inspect the pit or quarry area on a regular basis.
The inspector will document any changes in the material, such as clayey material, color changes, deleterious rock or excessive vegetation, and will discuss potential problems with the person in charge of the crushing operation and the Resident Engineer (RE). The plant inspector will document the condition of stockpiles and will notify the person in charge if segregation of aggregate is observed.
4. HMA Quality Assurance Program
CONSULTANT, through CONVERSE, will provide Caltrans-certified technicians in the field during HMA paving. For Standard and QC/QA construction processes, one 4- to 6-inch diameter density core will be taken every 250 tons of HMA from random locations as determined by the RE or his representative. The cores will be transported to the CONVERSE Caltrans certified laboratory. For each density core, a bulk specific gravity (CT 308) will be performed, in addition to percent maximum theoretical density to Docusign Envelope ID: 0D7EA126-7C53-4103-BFFC-A19F7C6BE0D3 Docusign Envelope ID: 9A29F6CF-BD04-4C19-AF22-22DBC5C755B9

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBJECT:
APPROVAL OF FINAL MAP, IMPROVEMENT AGREEMENT, AND SURVEY MONUMENTS AGREEMENT FOR TENTATIVE TRACT MAP 37980 LOCATED ON THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF CITRON STREET AND TAYLOR AVENUE (APPLICANT:
FGP TRICON CITRON CORONA PROPERTY, LLC)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
This staff report asks the City Council to approve the final map for Tentative Tract Map 37980 (TTM 37980) and approve the security agreements for the public improvements and survey monuments. FGP Tricon Citron Corona Property LLC, the applicant, is prepared to process the final map for recordation at the County of Riverside. TTM 37980 establishes 19 lots in the R-1-8.6 zone, single family residential.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
That the City Council:
a. Approve the Final Map for Tentative Tract Map 37980. b. That the City Council authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute public improvements and survey monumentation agreements between the City of Corona and FGP Tricon Citron Corona Property LLC.
BACKGROUND & HISTORY:
TTM 37980 is a subdivision of approximately five acres of undeveloped land into 19 single family residential lots located on the northwest corner of Citron Street and Taylor Avenue.
The zoning of the property is R-1-8.4, with lot sizes ranging from 8,400 square feet to 14,033 square feet. TTM 37890 was initially approved by the City Council on January 5, 2022. TTM 37980 is set to expire on January 5, 2025.
ANALYSIS:
The final map for TTM 37980 is being processed according to Section 33485(a) of the California Government Code. The applicant has entered into improvement agreements with the City to guarantee the construction of required improvements associated with the development. The improvements include public and private infrastructure consisting of street, storm drain, sewer, and potable water. Additionally, the applicant will enter into an agreement to guarantee the placement of all survey monuments specified by TTM 37980.
The following table describes the securities that are required to be posed for the project:

Survey
Monumentation
CMS0386181 $25,000 N/A N/A
All conditions imposed upon TTM 37980 have been met pursuant to Section 66473.5 of the California Government Code, including provisions for the design and improvement of the proposed subdivision. Additionally, the discharge of the project’s waste into the City’s sewer system will not result in a violation of existing requirements prescribed by the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board, pursuant to Division 7 (commencing with Section 13000) of the Water Code. Therefore, the project is consistent with the findings made for TTM 34760 according to Section 66474.6 of the California Government Code.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
All applicable fees have been paid by the developer, including the payment of Development Impact Fees that are due before the recordation of the map.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
Per Section 15332 of the State Guidelines for implementing the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and Section 3.22 of the City’s Local CEQA Guidelines, TTM 37980 qualified as a Class 32 (In-Fill Development Projects) categorical exemption, which was approved by the City Council on January 5, 2022. No further environmental analysis is required for the approval of the final map and the posting of the required securities associated with the project.

AGREEMENT FOR SURVEY MONUMENTATION
T37980 - CITRON AND TAYLOR - PWGR2024-0016
This Agreement is entered into as of this 20th day of November 2024, by and between the City of Corona, a municipal corporation (hereinafter referred to as "City") and FPG TRICON CITRON CORONA PROPERTY LLC, A DELAWARE LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY with its principal office located at 27271 Las Ramblas #100, Mission Viejo, CA 92691 (hereinafter referred to as "Developer").
WITNESSETH:
FIRST: Developer, for and in consideration of approval of T37980 - CITRON AND TAYLOR (hereinafter referred to as T37980 - CITRON AND TAYLOR map) has submitted to the City for its approval and subsequent recordation a map prepared by BAM CONSULTANT, INC. containing property monuments in accordance with Section 66495 of the Subdivision Map Act.
SECOND: Developer now desires to record said T37980 - CITRON AND TAYLOR prior to having interior monuments set for said T37980 - CITRON AND TAYLOR Map, and in consideration has instructed to certify on said T37980 - CITRON AND TAYLOR Map that monuments will be set within ONE YEAR after recordation of T37980 - CITRON AND TAYLOR Map. Furthermore, Developer has agreed to provide security guaranteeing the payment for the cost of setting such monuments in accordance with Section 66496 of the Subdivision Map Act.
THIRD: Developer and City desire to enter into this Agreement for the furnishing of security for the setting of monuments in performance of this Agreement. Upon the execution of this Agreement, Developer shall provide City with a surety bond in the amount of TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS AND NO CENTS ($25,000.00) to guarantee the faithful performance of all of the provisions of this Agreement. The surety shall have a current A.M. Best's rating of no less than "A", shall be licensed to do business in California, and shall be satisfactory to the City. Upon request of the City, the amount of the bond shall be subject to adjustment at the sole and absolute discretion of the City if the estimated cost for the setting of monuments changes. As part of the obligation secured by the surety and in addition to the face amount of the bond, the surety shall also secure the costs and reasonable expenses and fees, including reasonable attorney's fees and costs, incurred by City in enforcing the obligations of this Agreement. These expenses, fees and costs shall be taxed as costs and included in any judgment rendered. The surety stipulates and agrees that no change, extension of time, alteration, or addition to the terms of this Agreement shall in any way affect its obligation on the bond. In addition, the surety waives notice of any change, extension of time, alteration, or addition to the terms of this Agreement.
FOURTH: The City may, either before or after the expiration of the time provided above and in its sole and absolute discretion, provide Developer with additional time within which to insure setting on monuments as required above. It is understood that by providing security for this Agreement, Developer's surety consents in advance to any extension of time as may be given by City to Developer, and waives any and all right to notice of such extension(s). The granting of an extension of time by City shall constitute a waiver by Developer and its surety of all defense of laches, estoppel, statutes of limitations, and other limitations of action in any action or proceeding filed by City following the date on which the monuments were to have been completed hereunder.
FIFTH: Upon default of any obligation hereunder, and at any time after any such default, City may make written demand upon Developer or its surety, or both, to immediately remedy the default. If the required work is not substantially commenced within ten (10) days of such demand, or if it is not thereafter diligently prosecuted to a completion acceptable to City within the time frame contained in the demand, City may then arrange for the completion of all remaining work. All such work shall be at the sole and absolute expense and obligation of Developer and its surety, without the necessity of giving any further notice to Developer or surety.
SIXTH: If City determines that there is a violation of applicable federal, state, or local laws, ordinances, regulations or other requirements, or the terms and conditions of this Agreement, it may issue a cease-and-desist order. Developer hereby acknowledges irreparable harm and injury to City for the purposes of an application by City to the courts for a restraining order hereunder.
SEVENTH: Developer and its surety shall defend, indemnify and hold City, its officials, officers, employees and agents free and harmless from any and all liability from loss, damage, or injury to property or persons, including wrongful death, in any manner arising out of or incident to any acts, omissions or willful misconduct of Developer, its officers, employees or agents arising out of or in connection with Developer's performance of this Agreement, including without limitation the payment of attorneys' fees. Further, Developer and its surety shall defend at their own expense, including attorneys' fees, City, its officials, officers, employees, and agents in any legal action based upon such acts, omissions, or willful misconduct
EIGHTH: If Developer fails to comply with the provisions of this Agreement within the time set forth herein, or if Developer fails to comply with any other obligation contained herein, Developer and its surety shall be jointly and severally liable to City for all administrative expenses, fees, and costs, including reasonable attorney's fees and costs, incurred in obtaining compliance with this Agreement or in processing any legal action or for any other remedies permitted by law.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBJECT:
PURCHASE ORDER TO CITY ELECTRIC SUPPLY FOR THE PURCHASE OF 750-
KILOVOLT AMP PAD-MOUNTED TRANSFORMERS
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
This staff report asks the City Council to authorize a purchase order to City Electric Supply for the purchase of three 750-Kilovolt Amp Pad-Mounted Transformers. Two transformers will be used to replace current transformers that are beyond their useful life and one will serve as a contingency measure to expedite emergency replacement to ensure the least amount of impact to the electrical customers that are serviced by that equipment.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
That the City Council:
a. Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to issue a purchase order to City Electric Supply in the amount of $148,940.21 for the purchase of three (3) 750- Kilovolt Amp Pad Mounted Transformers.
b. Determine, under Corona Municipal Code Section 3.08.140 (E), that competitive bidding has been satisfied based upon reasons provided in the “Basis for determination of competitive bidding” section of this report.
c. Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to approve and execute any documents necessary to implement change orders up to the amount authorized by Corona Municipal Code Section 3.08.080 (I).
BACKGROUND & HISTORY:
The City of Corona’s Utilities Department is dedicated to ensuring safe and reliable electrical energy is provided to the ratepayers. Pad-Mounted Transformers are essential pieces of electrical equipment that step down the high-voltage electricity from power lines to a lower-voltage suitable for residential, commercial, and industrial use. They are typically installed in a steel enclosure mounted on a concrete pad and contain mineral oil.
Pad mounted transformers are engineered to prioritize safety, efficiency, and reliability, thereby mitigating the potential for electrical accidents and minimizing energy losses during power transmission. Transformer malfunction will result in power outages for the area it serves, disrupting daily routines and causing financial losses for businesses.
Damage or failed transformers pose a significant safety hazard, as they can ignite fires or inflict electric shocks. A 750-Kilovolt Amp (kVA) Transformer is typically employed to supply power to substantial commercial structures that demand substantial electrical capacity, such as those equipped with numerous heavy-duty motors, machinery, HVAC systems, and lighting fixtures.
Two pad-mounted transformer sites are currently providing electrical service to a significant business center and commercial district within the City of Corona. These sites are situated at the northeast intersection of North Joy Street and East Harrison Street.
These two transformers have visible signs of corrosion, oil leakage and are near the end of their operational life. An additional transformer will be purchased and stored in the warehouse as a contingency measure to expedite emergency replacements, given the extended lead times for ordering such equipment.
ANALYSIS:
The Utilities Department solicited bids on September 4, 2024, pursuant to the Corona Municipal Code Section 3.08.120, Non-public informal bidding procedure, to five local suppliers. Three bids were received by the bid due date of September 12, 2024.

Cost summary:
BASIS FOR DETERMINATION OF COMPETITIVE BIDDING:
Staff believes that an exception to competitive bidding is warranted for this purchase pursuant to Corona Municipal Code (“CMC”) Section 3.08.140 (E), which states as follows:
“(E) Purpose of bidding is otherwise accomplished. When the purchasing agent and the authorized contracting party, with the approval of the City Manager, determine that it is in the best interest of the city and its administrative operations to dispense with public bidding for non-public projects under this chapter.” Staff believe the purpose of bidding has been otherwise accomplished as staff solicited bids from multiple vendors. Due to the long lead times of the product and condition of the existing equipment, staff recommends issuance of a purchase order to City Electric Supply in the amount of $148,940.21 for the purchase of three 750-kVA Pad-Mounted Transformers.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Funding for the recommended action is available in the Transformer Lifecycle Replacements at Various Locations Capital Improvement Project No. UT-2022-02 within the Greenfield Electric Utility Fund 578.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
This action is categorically exempt pursuant to Section 15302 (c) of the Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Action (CEQA), which states that “operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the time of the CEQA determination” and is therefore exempt from CEQA. This action involves repairs to existing infrastructure to maintain public health and safety and therefore is exempt from the requirements of CEQA, and no environmental analysis is required.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL AND
CORONA UTILITY AUTHORITY ACTION
SUBJECT:
RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE SUBMITTAL OF APPLICATION TO THE
CALIFORNIA STATE WATER RESOURCES CONTROL BOARD FOR DRINKING
WATER STATE REVOLVING FUND FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR THE PFAS
REMOVAL PROJECT
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Staff is proposing to submit a funding application in the amount of $10,000,000 to the California State Water Resources Control Board for the PFAS Removal Project. The proposed funding will partially offset the cost of the PFAS and 1, 2, 3-TCP Remediation Capital Improvement Project No. UT-2024-10.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
That the City Council:
a. Adopt Resolution No. 2024-105, authorizing the Director of Utilities to serve as Corona’s authorized representative in seeking financial assistance and, if awarded, authorizing the acceptance of such financial assistance on behalf of the City and amending the budget for the applicable fiscal year accordingly. b. Adopt Resolution No. 2024-106, declaring the City’s intention to comply with all conditions of the California State Water Resources Control Board’s Drinking Water
State Revolving Fund loan program reimbursement resolution requirements for the PFAS Removal Project.
c. Designate the City Manager, or his designee, to receive and spend the California State Water Resources Control Board Drinking Water State Revolving Fund financial assistance funds in accordance with all applicable program guidelines and state and federal laws.
d. Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to act as an agent with legal authority to enter into the agreement, conduct all negotiations, execute and submit all documents including, but not limited to, applications, agreements, payment requests, and any other required correspondence which may be necessary for the completion of the program that is consistent with or in furtherance of the City Council’s actions hereunder.
e. Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to prepare and process any budgetary adjustments to receive and record the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund financial assistance funds.
That the Corona Utility Authority review, ratify, and, to the extent necessary, direct that the City Council take the above actions.
BACKGROUND & HISTORY:
The California State Water Resources Control Board’s Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) is a financial assistance program designed to help public water systems and communities. The DWSRF provides low-interest loans, grants, and other financial assistance to eligible public water systems for projects that improve the quality, safety, and reliability of drinking water.
The DWSRF loan program requires that any entity seeking financial assistance must formally authorize the application process through its governing body. As a condition of receiving funds, a resolution to designate an Authorized Representative must be approved, adopted, and included in the financial assistance application. Additionally, a resolution affirming the City’s commitment to comply with all conditions of the loan program’s reimbursement requirement is necessary.
ANALYSIS:
The California State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) has allocated significant funding for Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS)-related initiatives. The PFAS funding provides essential financial resources to public water systems for the installation of treatment technologies specifically designed to remove PFAS from drinking water. The Utilities Department is requesting an estimated amount of financial assistance in the amount of $10,000,000, which can be awarded as a combination of a loan and a principal forgiveness grant. If this financial application is awarded, the funding will help offset the significant costs associated with the installation of a granular activated carbon treatment at two well site locations (Well Nos. 7A and 8A) to remove PFAS and other volatile organic
compounds to acceptable state-mandated levels from the groundwater supply, and the adding of an additional ion exchange treatment vessel to the Ion Exchange Treatment Plan to improve the City’s water quality and reduce its reliance on imported water supplies. This PFAS removal project, known as the PFAS and 1, 2, 3-TCP Remediation Capital Improvement Project No. UT-2024-10, is planned to begin construction in Fiscal Year 2026 with an estimated construction cost of $11,442,500.
As required by the DWSRF financial application package, Staff recommends the approval of the resolution authorizing the Director of Utilities to submit a loan application to the SWRCB for the DWSRF financial assistance for the PFAS removal project and the resolution to declare the City’s intent to comply with the program reimbursement requirements. If received, this funding will partially offset the cost of UT-2024-10 through a combination of a principal forgiveness grant and a low-interest loan.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Approval of the recommended actions may result in an appropriation up to $10,000,000 in the PFAS and 1, 2, 3-TCP Remediation Capital Improvement Project No. UT-2024-10 and an offsetting revenue budget of the same amount in the Water Utility Grant/Agreement Fund 571.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
This action is exempt pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), which states that a project is exempt from CEQA if the activity is covered by the commonsense exemption that CEQA applies only to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. This action seeks the approval of the Council to adopt Resolution Nos. 2024-105 and 2024-106 authorizing the submittal of a financial assistance application, and there is no possibility that approving the recommended action will have a significant effect on the environment.
Therefore, no environmental analysis is required.

SUBJECT:
FUNDING AGREEMENT WITH RIVERSIDE COUNTY FLOOD CONTROL AND WATER
CONSERVATION DISTRICT FOR THE COLDWATER CANYON RECHARGE STUDY EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
This staff report asks the City Council to approve a Funding Agreement with Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District for the Coldwater Canyon Recharge Study which would reevaluate storm-water runoff from Coldwater Canyon and Mayhew Canyon.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
That the City Council:
a. Approve the creation of an Operating and Maintenance Project entitled “Coldwater Canyon Recharge Study.”
b. Appropriate $250,000 to the new Operating and Maintenance Project, Coldwater Canyon Recharge Study and increase estimated revenues by the same amount within the Water Utility Fund 570.
c. Approve the Funding Agreement for the Coldwater Canyon Recharge Study with the Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District in an amount not to exceed $250,000.
d. Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute the Funding Agreement including any non-substantial changes or amendments to the agreement.
That the Corona Utility Authority review, ratify, and to the extent necessary, direct that the City Council take the above actions.
BACKGROUND & HISTORY:
The Coldwater Canyon Basin is located in western Riverside County. The basin is separated from the Temescal subbasin to the northwest by a groundwater divide near Bedford Wash. The Bedford-Coldwater subbasin is bound on the east and west by consolidated rocks of Estelle Mountain and the Santa Ana Mountains, respectively. The southern boundary adjoins the Elsinore Valley subbasin and follows a jurisdictional boundary separating the two subbasins. Part of the Coldwater Canyon Basin runs within the City of Corona’s jurisdiction with regard to water rights.
ANALYSIS:
The City desires to create the Coldwater Canyon Recharge Study Capital Improvement Project which plans to review and update designs for the Coldwater Canyon Recharge Project consisting of City-designed retention basins, the Chandler mining pit and associated appurtenances. The Study would reevaluate runoff from the Coldwater Canyon and Mayhew Canyon for water conservation efforts, mitigate downstream flood impacts, and study solutions to potential water quality impacts form the Chandler mining pit.
The City would like to partner with the Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (District) due to mutual interest in the Coldwater Canyon Recharge Study. The District will contribute funding to support the City’s efforts toward this objective including costs associated with the preparation and development of the Study which will be conducted by a City-selected consultant following the City’s Purchasing Guidelines.
The District’s financial contribution toward the Study shall not exceed $250,000.
The purpose of the Funding Agreement is to memorialize the mutual understanding between the City and the District for the Study and the payment of the total District contribution.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Approval of the recommended actions will result in an appropriation in the amount of $250,000 to the newly created Operating and Maintenance Project entitled “Coldwater Canyon Recharge Study” and an increase in estimated revenues by the same amount within the Water Utility Fund 570 for reimbursement by the District upon conclusion of the project.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
This action is exempt pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), which states that a project is exempt from CEQA if the activity is covered by the common sense exemption that CEQA applies only to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. This action involves approval of a Funding Agreement for Recharge Study and there is no possibility this action will have a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, no environmental analysis is required.

City of Corona Coldwater Canyon Recharge Basin Program Study ■ 1-2 years Temescal Canyon / Glen Ivy Rd /Maitri Rd
The City of Corona and Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (RCFCWCD) previously worked on a master plan to address the water flow from Coldwater Canyon and Mayhew canyon during storm events. The City designed retention basins, a down spout into the Chandler mining pit, and other storm water amenities that would capture and return storm water to the basin for conservation purposes and would also mitigate downstream flood impacts during high flow conditions. Due to timing, and the ongoing operations of the mine, the project was ultimately placed on hold and funding was shifted away to higher priority projects within zone 2. In a meeting held December 13, 2023, the mining operation informed the City of Corona and the RCFCWCD that mining operations will be discontinued as of December 31, 2027. The City would like to request funding for the upcoming fiscal year to review the designs of the plans and make some adjustments due to changes in the water table. The original plan to build the down spout was designed at a time when the pit was predominately dry. We believe the plans should be modified to accommodate building the down spout in a phased approach that allows for flexibility. Additionally, the City would like to study the best approach to protect water quality. As the mine is required to submit a reclamation plan to the Regional Water Quality Control Board, the City has concerns over the impact that inert material may have on water quality and permeability of the site long-term. It may be determined to leave the site as an open pit. 2

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBJECT:
CREATION OF A CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT ENTITLED “CORONA LANDFILL SOLAR FARM”
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
This staff report asks the City Council to approve an appropriation for the creation of a new Capital Improvement Project entitled “Corona Landfill Solar Farm” which seeks to create a solar farm on top of the closed Corona Landfill site.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
That the City Council:
a. Approve the creation of a Capital Improvement Project entitled “Corona Landfill Solar Farm.”
b. Appropriate $50,000 from the General Fund 110 to the newly created Capital Improvement Project entitled “Corona Landfill Solar Farm.” BACKGROUND & HISTORY:
The Corona Landfill (Site) is a closed unlined landfill that operated until the mid-1980’s.
Following the landfill operation, the site was used as an electrical-generating facility running a series of combustible engine-powered generators on methane gas produced
from the landfill. Today, the site exists as open space with full sun exposure from multiple angles.
ANALYSIS:
The City desires to create a solar farm situated on top of the closed landfill. Preliminary evaluations show this site as a favorable location for solar location; estimates provide site capacity with the 5- to 8-MegaWatt range depending on layout. The City has developed a Scope of Work for the project with the anticipation of advertising a Request For Proposals expeditiously after approval of the recommended actions.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Approval of the recommended actions will result in an appropriation in the amount of $50,000 from the General Fund 110 to the newly created Capital Improvement Project entitled “Corona Landfill Solar Farm.” There is sufficient fund balance for the recommended actions.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
This action is exempt pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), which states that a project is exempt from CEQA if the activity is covered by the common sense exemption that CEQA applies only to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. This action involves funding for the creation of a Capital Improvement Project and there is no possibility this action will have a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, no environmental analysis is required.
