A request for development proposals was launched late October 2020 to obtain affordable housing proposal for the 4.82-acre lot purchased by the housing successor (from RCTC). Six (6) development proposals were received. Development proposals focus on family units and include permanent supportive housing units. A proposal was selected in FY21/22, and negotiations for a new 135-unit affordable housing project are underway. It is anticipated that 6 to 7.5 million dollars of housing and federal funds will be spent on creating new housing units.
From March through May 2022, staff performed all HUD-required planning activities for HOME ARP funding, totaling $1,709,861.30 in direct project funds to be programmed. The HOME ARP Allocation Plan was completed and submitted for City Council approval on May 4, 2022. On August 3, 2023, HUD provided a final approval letter authorizing the City of Corona to allocate funds toward developing new multi-family and permanent supportive housing units.
The Corona Housing Authority finalized negotiations with Second Street Family, LP for the development of 115-units of multifamily housing and with Second Street Housing, LP for the development of 25-units of permanent supportive housing. On August 21, 2024, the Corona Housing Authority Board and City Council adopted resolutions approving Affordable Housing Disposition and Development Agreements for the aforementioned projects. With the exception of the manager units at each project, all units will have an affordability term in perpetuity instead of a 55-year term which is standard under the law for rental projects and tax credit financing rules.

REPORT ON COMPLIANCE FOR THE HOUSING SUCCESSOR; REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE; AND REPORT ON THE SCHEDULE OF EXCESS SURPLUS Independent Auditors’ Report
To the Honorable Mayor, City Council and Citizens
of the City of Corona
Corona, California
Report on Compliance for the Housing Successor
Opinion on Compliance for the Housing Successor
We have audited Corona Housing Authority, a component unit of the City of Corona, California (the “City”), as the Housing Successor to the former Redevelopment Agency of the City of Corona’s (the “Housing Successor”) compliance with the type of compliance requirements described in the California Health and Safety Code sections applicable to the Housing Successor for the year ended June 30, 2024.
In our opinion, the Housing Successor complied, in all material respects, with the compliance requirements referred to above that are applicable to Housing Successor for the year ended June 30, 2024.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAS”); the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards (“Government Auditing Standards”) issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and California Health and Safety Code sections applicable to the Housing Successor (the “Health and Safety Codes”). Our responsibilities under those standards and the Health and Safety Codes are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section of our report.
We are required to be independent of the Housing Successor and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Our audit does not provide a legal determination of the Housing Successor's compliance with the compliance requirements referred to above.
Responsibilities of Management for Compliance
Management is responsible for compliance with the requirements referred to above and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of effective internal control over compliance with the requirements of laws, statutes, regulations, rules, and provisions of contracts or grant agreements applicable to the Housing Successor's government programs.
To the Honorable Mayor, City Council and Citizens
of the City of Corona
Corona, California
2 Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether material noncompliance with the compliance requirements referred to above occurred, whether due to fraud or error, and express an opinion on the Housing Successor's compliance based on our audit. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS, Government Auditing Standards, and the Health and Safety Codes will always detect material noncompliance when it exists. The risk of not detecting material noncompliance resulting from fraud is higher than for that resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Noncompliance with the compliance requirements referred to above is considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, it would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user of the report on compliance about the Housing Successor's compliance with the requirements of the government program as a whole.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, Government Auditing Standards, and the Health and Safety Codes, we:
exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. identify and assess the risks of material noncompliance, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the Housing Successor's compliance with the compliance requirements referred to above and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. obtain an understanding of the Housing Successor's internal control over compliance relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with the Health and Safety Codes, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Housing Successor's internal control over compliance.
Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in internal control over compliance that we identified during the audit.
Report on Internal Control Over Compliance
A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies in internal control over compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a compliance requirement will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance that is less severe than a material weakness in internal control over compliance, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section above and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over compliance that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal control over compliance. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above. However, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal control over compliance may exist that were not identified.
To the Honorable Mayor, City Council and Citizens
of the City of Corona
Corona, California
3 Our audit was not designed for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over compliance and the results of that testing based on the requirements of Health and Safety Codes.
Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other purpose.
Report on the Schedule of Excess Surplus
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City as of and for the year ended June 30, 2024, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements. We issued our report thereon dated November 25, 2024, which contained unmodified opinions on those financial statements. Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the basic financial statements. The accompanying Schedule of Excess Surplus is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain other procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with GAAS. In our opinion, the Schedule of Excess Surplus is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBJECT:
COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF CORONA, RIVERSIDE
COUNTY FLOOD CONTROL AND WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT, AND CORONA 4 LAND, LLC FOR THE PROPOSED STORM DRAIN BOX EXTENSION UNDERNEATH CORONA AVENUE AND INTERSTATE 15 (APPLICANT: CORONA 4
LAND LLC)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
This staff report asks the City Council to approve and authorize the City Manager to execute a Cooperative Agreement between the City of Corona, Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (RCFCWCD) and Corona 4 Land, LLC, the developer of Tract Map 35851 (TM 35851), for the design, construction, inspection, acceptance, operation and maintenance of the proposed storm drain facilities and related maintenance access roads to be constructed underneath Corona Avenue and Interstate
15. Approval of this Cooperative Agreement will allow the developer of TM 35851 to proceed with the public storm drain improvements required for the project.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
That the City Council:
a. Approve the Cooperative Agreement between the City of Corona, the Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District and Corona 4 Land, LLC, for the storm drain facilities improvement project.
b. Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute the Cooperative Agreement between the City of Corona, the Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District and Corona 4 Land, LLC, for the storm drain facilities and related maintenance access roads associated with Tract Map 35851.
BACKGROUND & HISTORY:
TM 35851 created one lot on 3.55 acres for residential condominium purposes to facilitate the development of 60 townhomes. The project site is located on the north side of Corona Avenue and west of Interstate 15 in the R-3, Multiple Family Residential zone.
The City Council at its meeting on January 18, 2023, approved the project’s final map and accepted public improvement and survey monumentation agreements. The developer posted a public storm drain improvement bond to cover the cost of construction of the drainage facilities.
The City Council at its meeting on August 21, 2024, approved an amendment to an existing agreement between the City and Caltrans regarding the maintenance obligations of the City and Caltrans for the drainage facilities located along the Interstate 15 corridor within the City’s jurisdiction. The existing agreement was amended to include the proposed extension of the existing drainage box located underneath Corona Avenue and Interstate 15, which is required to accommodate the residential development associated with TM 35851. The amended agreement allows Caltrans to issue an encroachment permit to the developer of TM 35851 for the proposed public improvement.
ANALYSIS:
The developer is responsible for designing and constructing the extension of the drainage box, which is subject to review and approval by the RCFCWCD. The new portion of the drainage box will match the size of the existing drainage box and extend approximately 202 linear feet, with approximately 66 linear feet of the drainage box constructed within Caltrans’ right-of-way. Upon the completion of the construction of the drainage box, the RCFCWCD has agreed to operate and maintain the drainage box extension of approximately 202 linear feet.
The Cooperative Agreement between the City, the RCFCWCD and the developer stipulates the mechanisms for the RCFCWCD to satisfactorily inspect, operate, maintain and accept ownership of the drainage facilities. Execution of this Cooperative Agreement also provides the City’s consent to record an Irrevocable Offer of Dedication to the public for flood control and drainage purposes.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
No application fees are associated with the preparation of this agreement.
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 the 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. The approval of this agreement will not have a significant effect on the environment.
Therefore, no environmental analysis is required.

Nothing contained herein shall constitute a release of DEVELOPER by DISTRICT, County of Riverside, or CITY (including each of their respective Agencies, Districts, Special Districts and Departments, their respective directors, officers, Board of Supervisors, elected and appointed
260849
- 21 -
officials, employees, agents and representatives) from any and all claims, demands, actions or suits of any kind arising out of any liability, known or unknown, present or future, for the negligent maintenance of PROJECT by DEVELOPER after the acceptance of PROJECT by DISTRICT and CITY, as described in this Agreement.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBJECT:
PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH KIMLEY-HORN AND ASSOCIATES, INC. IN THE AMOUNT OF $269,750 FOR THE PREPARATION OF AN
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT FOR THE CAJALCO INDUSTRIAL PROJECT PROPOSED BY SHEA PROPERTIES (RFP 25-020AT)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
This staff report asks the City Council to award Request for Proposals No. 25-020AT (RFP25-020AT) to Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. for the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Cajalco Industrial Project. Shea Properties is the developer of the project, which proposes to develop 58.74 acres into a business park consisting of multiple industrial buildings. The project site is located on the east side of Interstate 15 and south of Cajalco Road. The EIR will analyze the project’s potential environmental impacts according to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc.’s proposal met the required elements of the scope of work in the City’s request for proposal and demonstrated professional experience in preparing environmental documents for local agencies. The preparation of the EIR will be funded by the developer of the project.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
That the City Council:
a. Award the Request for Proposal 25-020AT to Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. for the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report for the Cajalco Industrial Project.
b. Approve the Professional Services Agreement with Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. in the amount of $269,750 for a two-year term beginning in Fiscal Year 2025 with one optional one-year extension.
c. Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute the Professional Services Agreement and to negotiate and execute any non-substantive extensions, change orders, purchase orders, and amendments up to the lesser amount of either $100,000 or 10% of the original contract amount as authorized in Corona Municipal Code Section 3.08.070(I).
d. Authorize an appropriation in the amount of $323,700 to the Planning and Development Department operating budget and increase revenue estimates by the same amount in the General Fund for the preparation of the Environmental Impact Report for the Cajalco Industrial Project and for City staff time on managing and reviewing the EIR.
BACKGROUND & HISTORY:
In January 2024, the Planning and Development Department received an application for Development Plan Review from Shea Properties proposing to subdivide three adjoining parcels totaling 58.74 acres into eight parcels to facilitate the development of an industrial business park consisting of multiple industrial buildings totaling approximately 768,000 square feet. The vacant parcels are located on the east side of Interstate 15 and south of Cajalco Road and are currently owned by the Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC). RCTC declared the properties excess surplus property no longer needed for use by RCTC. Shea Properties submitted a Letter of Intent to RCTC to purchase the properties and is currently in escrow to acquire the properties.
Two of the three parcels are currently zoned Agricultural. The third parcel is zoned General Manufacturing (M-2). To implement the proposed development, the project requires the approval of a change of zone and a General Plan amendment to change the Agricultural zoning to Industrial. The development also proposes a tentative tract map which will subdivide the project site into eight lots to allow for the development of industrial buildings on individual lots. City staff determined that an EIR according to CEQA is necessary for the project.
The Planning and Development Department uses qualified consultants in preparing EIRs which are funded at the expense of the developer. Shea Properties will be providing the required technical studies for the environmental review, which will be subject to peer review by City staff and the consultant for inclusion into the EIR.
ANALYSIS:
The Purchasing Division circulated RFP 25-020AT, on September 16, 2024, according to Corona Municipal Code Section 3.08.110, and notified 865 vendors. A total of 11 proposals were submitted to the City prior to the RFP closing date on October 17, 2024.
The 11 proposals were evaluated by the City consisting of three staff members using the following criteria outlined in the RFP:
1. Qualifications of Firm
2. Qualifications of Personnel
3. Related Experience
4. Completeness and Timeliness of Response
5. Reasonableness of Cost and Price
Following the evaluation of the proposals, Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. ranked the highest and has the essential skills, experience, and staffing required for the successful execution of the project’s scope of work. Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. have also prepared EIRs for similar industrial projects in other local jurisdictions.
The Planning and Development Department is recommending RFP No. 25-020AT be awarded to Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. in the amount of $269,750 for the preparation of an EIR for the Cajalco Industrial Project. The term of the agreement is for two years starting in Fiscal Year 2025.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The City’s adopted fee schedule requires the developer of the project to pay all costs associated with the preparation of the project’s EIR including the allocation of staff’s time on managing and reviewing the document. Approval of the recommended actions will increase the Planning and Development Department’s General Fund operating budget by $323,700 for the preparation of the EIR and City staff time. General Fund revenue estimates will increase by the same amount. The developer of the project will place the funds into a deposit account with the City, which will be used to pay monthly invoices associated with the preparation of the EIR. As invoices are paid, the funds in the deposit account will be reduced and recognized as revenue to the General Fund.
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 is simply to approve a professional services agreement for consulting services related to the preparation of an environmental impact report. There is no possibility that this activity will have a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, no environmental analysis is required.

3.2.10.7 Deductibles and Self-Insurance Retentions. Any deductibles or self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by the City. The City may require the Consultant to provide proof of ability to pay losses and related investigation, claims administration and defense expenses within the deductible or self-insured retention. The deductible or self-insured retention may be satisfied by either the named insured or the City.
3.2.10.8 Acceptability of Insurers.

3.2.10.9 Verification of Coverage. Consultant shall furnish City with original certificates of insurance, as well as amendatory endorsements or copies of the applicable policy language effecting coverage required by this Agreement. All documents must be received and approved by the City before any Services commence; provided, however, that failure to obtain the required documents prior to the commencement of Services shall not waive Consultant’s obligation to provide them. The City reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies, at any time.
3.2.10.10 Reporting of Claims. Consultant shall report to the City, in addition to Consultant’s insurer, any and all insurance claims submitted by Consultant in connection with the Services under this Agreement.
3.2.10.11 Sub-Consultants. All sub-consultants shall comply with each and every insurance provision of this Section 3.2.10. Consultant shall therefore not allow any sub-consultant to commence work on any subcontract to perform any part of the Services until it has provided evidence satisfactory to the City that the sub-consultant has secured all insurance required under this Agreement.
3.2.10.12 Special Risk or Circumstances. The City reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to modify the requirements of this Section 3.2.10, including limits, based on any of the following: (A) the nature of the risk of the Services; (B) the prior experience of the insured; (C) the rating or other quality or characteristic of the insurer; (D) any special or unique coverage issues; and (E) any other special or unique circumstances.
3.2.11 Safety. Consultant shall execute and maintain its work and Services so as to avoid injury or damage to any person or property. In carrying out its Services, the Consultant shall at all times be in compliance with all applicable local, state and federal laws, rules and regulations, and shall exercise all necessary precautions for the safety of employees appropriate to the nature of the Services and the conditions under which the Services are to be performed.
3.2.12 Payment Bond. The California Department of Industrial Relations (“DIR”) has communicated to the City that there is a possibility that a payment bond may be required for Docusign Envelope ID: 0FCC6A21-A378-4DA6-9032-0634054872E4
CA\DD\02000.50101\1401461.15
PTEAM 12.29.2023 9 (CITY ATTY: 05-19)
certain services provided in connection with a public works project. Since such a requirement is currently contrary to the industry standard for the services provided by Consultant under this Agreement and since there is no direct legal authority for this position, the City is not requiring Consultant to provide a payment bond at this time. However, the City hereby reserves the right to require the Consultant to obtain and provide a payment bond for some or all of the services provided by the Consultant under this Agreement.
If the City determines that a payment bond is required for the services pursuant to Civil Code Section 9550 or any other applicable law, rule or regulation, Consultant shall execute and provide to City a payment bond in an amount required by the City and in a form provided or approved by the City. In the event a payment bond is required, the City agrees to compensate Consultant for all documented direct costs incurred by Consultant for such payment bond. The Parties shall memorialize the terms of such additional compensation and any other terms and conditions associated with the payment bond in an amendment to this Agreement.
3.2.13 Accounting Records. Consultant shall maintain complete and accurate records with respect to all costs and expenses incurred under this Agreement. All such records shall be clearly identifiable. Consultant shall allow a representative of City during normal business hours to examine, audit, and make transcripts or copies of such records and any other documents created pursuant to this Agreement. Consultant shall allow inspection of all work, data, documents, proceedings, and activities related to the Agreement for a period of three (3) years from the date of final payment under this Agreement.
3.3 Fees and Payments.
3.3.1 Rates & Total Compensation. Consultant shall receive compensation, including authorized reimbursements, for all Services rendered under this Agreement at the rates set forth in Exhibit “C” attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. The total compensation, including authorized reimbursements, shall not exceed Two Hundred Sixty Nine Thousand and Seven Hundred Fifty Dollars ($269,750.00) (“Total Compensation”), without written approval of City’s Representative. Extra Work may be authorized, as described below, and if authorized, will be compensated at the rates and manner set forth in this Agreement.
3.3.2 Payment of Compensation. Consultant shall submit to City a monthly itemized statement which indicates work completed and hours of Services rendered by Consultant.
The statement shall describe the amount of Services and supplies provided since the initial commencement date, or since the start of the subsequent billing periods, as appropriate, through the date of the statement. City shall, within 30 days of receiving such statement, review the statement and pay all approved charges thereon.
3.3.3 Reimbursement for Expenses. Consultant shall not be reimbursed for any expenses unless authorized in writing by City.
3.3.4 Extra Work. At any time during the Term of this Agreement, City may request that Consultant perform Extra Work. As used herein, “Extra Work” means any work which is determined by City to be necessary for the proper completion of the Project, but which the Docusign Envelope ID: 0FCC6A21-A378-4DA6-9032-0634054872E4

Parties did not reasonably anticipate would be necessary at the execution of this Agreement.

3.3.5 Prevailing Wages.

If the Services are being performed as part of an applicable “public works” or “maintenance” project, as defined by the Prevailing Wage Laws, and if the Total Compensation is $1,000 or more, Consultant and its subconsultants shall fully comply with the Prevailing Wage Laws for their employees and any others to whom such laws are applicable. Consultant and its subconsultants shall also be responsible for any and all violations and fines imposed on them pursuant to the Prevailing Wage Laws. Pursuant to SB 854, which amended the Prevailing Wage Laws, this Agreement would also be subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the California Department of Industrial Relations (“DIR”). Beginning April 1, 2015, no consultant or subconsultant may be awarded this Agreement unless registered with the DIR pursuant to Labor Code Section 1725.5. The City will report all necessary agreements to the DIR as required by the Prevailing Wage Laws. Consultant shall make copies of the prevailing rates of per diem wages for each craft, classification or type of worker needed to execute the Services available to interested parties upon request, and shall post copies at the Consultant’s principal place of business and at the Project site. It is most efficient for the Consultant to obtain a copy of the prevailing wages in effect at the commencement of this Agreement from the website of the Division of Labor Statistics and Research of the DIR located at www.dir.ca.gov/dlsr/. In the alternative, Consultant may obtain a copy of the prevailing wages from the City’s Representative. Consultant shall defend, indemnify and hold the City, its elected officials, officers, employees and agents free and harmless from any claim or liability arising out of any failure or alleged failure to comply with the Prevailing Wage Laws.
3.3.6 Apprenticeable Crafts. If the services being performed as part of an applicable “public works” or “maintenance” project, as defined by the Prevailing Wage Laws, Consultant shall comply with the provisions of Section 1777.5 of the California Labor Code with respect to the employment of properly registered apprentices upon public works when Consultant employs workmen in an apprenticeable craft or trade. The primary responsibility for compliance with said section for all apprenticeable occupations shall be with Consultant.
3.4 Termination of Agreement.
3.4.1 Grounds for Termination. City may, by written notice to Consultant, terminate the whole or any part of this Agreement at any time and without cause by giving written notice to Consultant of such termination, and specifying the effective date thereof, at least seven (7) days before the effective date of such termination. Upon termination, Consultant shall be compensated only for those Services which have been adequately rendered to City, as well as any authorized reimbursable expenses, and Consultant shall be entitled to no further compensation.
Consultant may not terminate this Agreement except for cause.

In addition, Consultant shall retain copies of all Documents & Data on file for a minimum of five (5) years following completion of the Project, and shall make copies available to City upon the payment of actual reasonable duplication costs.

EXHIBIT “A”
SCOPE OF SERVICES
The Services more particularly described herein to be provided are generally described below and will be performed as specifically set forth in the Consultant’s Work Plan attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit “D” (Consultant's Work Plan).
1. Scope of Services
Consultant shall prepare an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Cajalco Industrial Park (“Project”) in the City of Corona.
A. Project Location
The ±58.74-acre Project site is located in the southern portion of the City of Corona within the County of Riverside, California. More specifically, the site is located at the northeast quadrant of the I-15 and Cajalco Road interchange. Regional access to the Project site is available from Interstate 15 (I-15) and Cajalco Road.
The Project site is comprised of three parcels. The Assessor Parcel Numbers for the project site are:
279-240-020
279-240-008
279-530-030
B. Existing Land Use and Development
Under existing conditions, the Project site is largely undeveloped, with the exception of two wireless telecommunications facilities that are constructed on the Project site.
The Bedford Channel bisects the Project site in a west-east direction.
Per the City’s Zoning and General Plan land use maps, two of the parcels are currently zoned Agricultural (A) and have a General Plan designation of Agricultural (A). The third parcel is zoned M-2 (General Manufacturing) and has a General Plan designation of General Industrial (GI). The table below summarizes the parcels’ acreages, existing zoning and existing General Plan land use designation.
APN Acreage Existing Zoning Existing General Plan

PTEAM 12.29.2023 19 (CITY ATTY: 05-19)
2. BACKGROUND
The Project site is currently owned by the Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) and is proposed to be sold to a private developer. Bedford Channel is proposed to be channelized by the Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (RCFCWCD) as a separate and independent project.
The northern portion of the Project site is located within the Western Riverside County’s Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP), specifically in Criteria Cells 2400 and 2402. Conservation within these cells will contribute to assembly of Proposed Extension of Existing Core 2. The Project will be subject to the Western Riverside County Conservation Authority’s Joint Project Review (JPR) process.
3. PROPOSED PROJECT SUMMARY
The Project Applicant is seeking to develop an industrial park consisting of eight (8) industrial buildings. The Project’s proposed entitlements consist of applications for the following:
• General Plan Amendment No. 2024-0001 (GPA2024-0001),
• Change of Zone 2024-0001 (CZ2024-0001), and
• Tentative Tract Map No. 38907 (TTM 38907)
The following summarizes the scope of work associated with each application.
The General Plan Amendment (GPA) application pertains to APNs 279-240-008 and 279-240-020 and proposes to change the General Plan land use designation from Agricultural (A) to General Industrial (GI). APN 279-530-030 is already designated GI and would not be subject to the proposed GPA.
The Change of Zone (CZ) application also pertains to APNs 279-240-008 and 279-240- 020 and would change the zoning designation from Agricultural (A) to General Manufacturing (M-2). APN 279-530-030 is already zoned M-2 and would not be subject to the proposed change of zone.
The Tentative Tract Map (TTM) application proposes to subdivide the ±58.74-acre Project site from three existing parcels into eight numbered parcels and four lettered parcels. See the table below for the sizes of each proposed parcel. The TTM would be accompanied by a mass grading plan, showing building pads, roads, and utilities. No buildings are proposed at this time, and as such, the Project Applicant is not requesting site plan approval.

Interior to the Project Site, proposed Private Street A would bridge over Bedford Channel. A secondary emergency access drive is proposed to connect with Temescal Canyon Road, in a to-be-determined location. No improvements to Bedford Channel are expected to occur as part of the Project, as the Channel is proposed to be improved as a concrete-lined channel by the RCFCWCD as a separate and independent project with the RCFCWCD serving as the lead agency.
Given the physical constraints of the site, the Project Applicant is proposing to accept a condition of approval on the TTM to limit the maximum Floor Area Ratio (FAR) for future buildings across the site to 0.3 FAR. Thus, the maximum development potential is ±767,614 sq ft. (57.84 acres @ 0.3 FAR).

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBJECT:
RESOLUTION ACKNOWLEDGING THE SUBMISSION AND PUBLIC RELEASE OF CORONA POLICE DEPARTMENT 2024 ANNUAL MILITARY EQUIPMENT REPORT AND RENEWING ORDINANCE NO. 3347
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
This staff report asks City Council to consider the Corona Police Department 2024 annual military equipment report and vote to renew Ordinance No. 3347. Adopting the attached proposed Resolution will acknowledge the Police Department’s submission and public release of the 2024 annual report, compliance with Assembly Bill 481, and renewal of Ordinance No. 3347
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
That the City Council approve the attached resolution acknowledging the submission and public release of the Corona Police Department 2024 Annual Military Equipment Report (Policy 709 and AB 481) and renewing Ordinance No. 3347 which adopted Policy 709.
BACKGROUND & HISTORY:
On September 30, 2021, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed into law Assembly Bill 481 (AB 481), which became effective January 1, 2022, codifying California Government Code Sections 7070 through 7075. The full text to AB481 can be found at:
<https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220AB481>
AB 481 – Adoption of Policy & Ordinance
AB 481 required the Police Department to do the following:
Create a Military Equipment Use Policy.
Post the Policy on the Department’s website for at least 30 days. Offer a public meeting to consider the Policy.
Obtain City Council approval of the Policy by ordinance.
These actions must be taken before the Department can:
Acquire additional military equipment
Collaborate with another law enforcement agency in the use of military equipment Use g any new or existing military equipment in a manner not previously approved by the City Council,
Enter into an agreement for the funding, receipt, acquisition, use of, or collaboration in the use of military equipment.
In compliance with AB 481, the Police Department prepared its Military Equipment Use Policy (Policy 709), including an exhibit listing the military equipment in possession of the City (Corona Police Department Specialized Equipment Inventory). The Police Department thereafter posted Policy 709 on the City’s website for at least 30 days and presented it to the City Council on May 18, 2022, for community and City Council consideration. At that public meeting, the City Council introduced City Ordinance 3347 approving Policy 709, and the City Council subsequently adopted Ordinance 3347 on June 1, 2022.
AB 481 – Annual Review of Ordinance and Report
Ordinance No. 3347 and AB 481 also require the City Council to review Ordinance 3347 at least annually at a regular meeting and to vote on whether to renew the ordinance. In order to do so, the City Council must consider an annual military equipment report prepared by the Police Department and posted on the City’s website for at least 30 days.
The annual report must include at least the following information for the immediately preceding calendar year for each type of military equipment: (1) a summary of how the military equipment was used and the purpose of its use; (2) a summary of any complaints or concerns received concerning the military equipment; (3) the results of any internal audits, any information about violations of the military equipment use policy, and any actions taken in response; (4) the total annual cost for each type of military equipment, including acquisition, personnel, training, transportation, maintenance, storage, upgrade, and other ongoing costs, and from what source funds will be provided for the military equipment in the calendar year following submission of the annual military equipment report; (5) the quantity possessed for each type of military equipment; and (6) if the City intends to acquire additional military equipment in the next year, the quantity sought for each type of military equipment.
To vote to renew Ordinance No. 3347, the City Council must find that each type of military equipment identified in the annual report has complied with the standards for approval set forth in Government Code Section (d)(1) (i.e., the same standards required to initially approve Ordinance No. 3347 in 2022).
The Police Department has prepared the Corona Police Department 2024 Annual Military Equipment Report (Policy 709 & AB 481) (“2024 Annual Report”), for 2024, which it posted on its website on February 18, 2025, in compliance with AB 481.
ANALYSIS:
Staff is seeking approval and support from the City Council for the continued use and deployment of the equipment covered by Policy 709. Such equipment is currently deployed by law enforcement agencies in Riverside County, in neighboring San Bernardino, San Diego, and Orange Counties, as well as throughout the State of California and across the nation.
The equipment covered by Policy 709 is recognized and more appropriately identified by local, state, and federal law enforcement entities as specialized police equipment. Locally, the Association of Riverside County Chiefs of Police and Sheriff (ARCCOPS) have endorsed the list of specialized equipment which is already in use across the county.
The Corona Police Department, Riverside County Sheriff’s Department, Riverside County Probation Department, Riverside County District Attorney’s Office, Riverside California Highway Patrol, the county’s eleven (11) municipal police departments, three (3) university and school police departments, and members of the ARCCOPS, have committed to working cooperatively across jurisdictional boundaries to ensure that all catastrophic events, responses to critical incidents, search and rescue operations, and many other multi-jurisdictional events that arise from neighboring counties are supported safely and justifiably. Any events which require the use of any of the specialized equipment covered by Policy 709 are conducted in a fair, transparent, and professional manner.
By adopting the proposed resolution attached hereto, the City Council will take the following actions and support the Police Department’s continued use and deployment of the equipment covered by Policy 709:
1. 2024 Annual Report - Submission & Public Release: Acknowledge the submission and public release of the 2024 Annual Report.
2. 2024 Annual Report - Continuous Website Public Availability: Require that the 2024 Annual Report shall be made publicly available on the City’s website for as long as the military equipment is available for use.
3. Ordinance 3347 - Findings for Renewal: Find and determine that each type of military equipment identified in the 2024 Annual Report has complied with the following standards for approval set forth in Government Code Section (d)(1): (A) The military
equipment identified in the 2024 Annual Report is necessary because there is no reasonable alternative that can achieve the same objectives of officer and civilian safety; (B) The 2024 Annual Report and Policy 709 will safeguard the public’s welfare, safety, civil rights, and civil liberties; (C) Any equipment identified in the 2024 Annual Report and proposed to be purchased pursuant to Policy 709 is reasonably cost effective compared to available alternatives that can achieve the same objectives of officer and civilian safety; and (D) Military equipment used in 2024 complied with Policy 709 and/or the military equipment use policy that was in effect at the time, or if such uses did not comply with the military use policy, corrective action has been taken to remedy nonconforming uses and ensure future compliance.
4. Ordinance 3347 - Renewal: Renew Ordinance 3347.
5. Ordinance 3347 - Continuous Website Public Availability: Require that Ordinance 3347 shall remain publicly available on the City’s website for as long as the military equipment is available for use.
6. Community Engagement Meeting: Find that the meeting at which the resolution was considered satisfies the requirement to timely hold at least one well-publicized and conveniently located community engagement meeting, at which the general public may discuss and ask questions regarding the 2024 Annual Report and the Corona Police Department’s funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is no financial impact from the adoption of this Ordinance. Any future equipment or vehicle purchases would be in adherence with this Ordinance and would be addressed through council action or the normal budget process.
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 simply acknowledges the submission and public release of the 2023 Annual Report and renews Ordinance 3347, and there is no possibility that adopting this Resolution will have a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, no environmental analysis is required.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL AND
CORONA UTILITY AUTHORITY ACTION
SUBJECT:
CHANGE ORDER WITH CORE-ROSION PRODUCTS FOR AS-NEEDED CHEMICAL
TANK PURCHASES
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
This staff report asks the City Council to approve a change order for Core-Rosion Products to increase the amount from $100,000 to $200,000 annually for as-needed chemical tank purchases. Chemical tanks are essential for safely storing Sodium Hypochlorite and other chemicals critical to water treatment operations.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
That the City Council authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute a change order to the purchase order with Core-Rosion Products, in the amount of $100,000 for an annual purchase amount of $200,000 per fiscal year beginning Fiscal Year 2025 and for subsequent years, including non-substantive extensions, change orders and amendments up to 10% or $20,000, as authorized in Corona Municipal Code Section
3.08.080(I).
That the Corona Utility Authority review, ratify, and to the extent necessary, direct the City Council to take the above actions
BACKGROUND & HISTORY:
The Utilities Department operates both potable water and wastewater treatment facilities that rely on specialized chemical storage tanks to safely handle essential treatment chemicals. On September 28, 2021, the Utilities Department requested an exception to competitive bidding under Corona Municipal Code Section 3.08.140(E), allowing exceptions in the City's best interest.
Core-Rosion Products is the authorized distributor for Poly-Processing’s chemical storage tanks, which are listed in the City's Exclusive Standard Specifications as authorized by Public Contract Code (PCC) 3400.
ANALYSIS:
Given the ongoing operational needs and upgrade to chemical tanks, this report requests a change order to increase the purchase order to $200,000 annually to ensure the continued integrity of these critical tanks. The City’s water and wastewater treatment operations rely on these chemical storage tanks to safely contain Sodium Hypochlorite and other essential chemicals.
BASIS FOR EXCEPTION TO COMPETITIVE BIDDING
Staff believes that an exception to competitive bidding is warranted for these as-needed purchases under Corona Municipal Code 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.
The City Council previously designated Poly-Processing chemical storage tanks as the Utilities Department’s exclusive standard per PCC 3400. This designation is based on the proven reliability and performance of Poly-Processing’s high-density cross-linked polyethylene tanks with integrally molded flanges (IMFO System) used throughout the City's water treatment facilities. The City Council adopted Resolution No. 2022-046, establishing specific equipment and products as a sole source for potable water, water reclamation, and reclaimed water facilities. Poly-Processing’s chemical storage tanks are included on this list as the City's established standard for chemical containment. This ensures that all facilities are equipped with compatible, high-quality storage solutions, thus reducing replacement, repair, and maintenance costs to maintain operational efficiency.
Staff recommends amending the purchase order with Core-Rosion Products by $100,000, bringing the total annual budget to $200,000 per fiscal year.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Funding for the recommended actions is available in the Fiscal Year 2025 Utilities Department operating budget in the Water Facilities Maintenance Division within Water Utility Fund 570 and Sewer Facility Maintenance Division within Sewer Utility Fund 572.
Future funding requests will be requested through the annual budget process.
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 the continued replacement and maintenance of chemical storage tanks essential for water treatment operations, ensuring public health and safety. Therefore, is exempt from the requirements of CEQA, and no environmental analysis is required.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBJECT:
THIRD AMENDMENT TO THE MAINTENANCE/GENERAL SERVICES AGREEMENT
WITH GENUINE PARTS COMPANY (DBA NAPA AUTO PARTS)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
This staff report asks the City Council to approve the Third Amendment to the Maintenance/General Services Agreement with Genuine Parts Company (DBA NAPA Auto Parts). The City of Corona Fleet Services Division has used Genuine Parts Company (NAPA Auto Parts) to provide vendor-managed parts for Fleet since 2017.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
That the City Council:
a. Approve the Third Amendment to the Maintenance/General Services Agreement with Genuine Parts Company (DBA NAPA Auto Parts).
b. Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute the Third Amendment to the Maintenance/General Services Agreement with Genuine Parts Company (DBA NAPA Auto Parts) for $575,000 per fiscal year for the initial contract term ending December 3, 2028.
c. Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute three additional one-year Amendments to the Maintenance/General Services Agreement with Genuine Parts Company (DBA NAPA Auto Parts) in conjunction with Sourcewell. d. Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to negotiate and execute nonsubstantive extensions, change orders, and amendments up to 10% or $57,500 as authorized in Corona Municipal Code Section 3.08.060(J). e. Make a determination under Corona Municipal Code Section 3.08.140(C) that competitive bidding has been satisfied for this purchase based upon the reasons provided in this agenda report.
f. Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to issue a purchase order to Genuine Parts Company (DBA NAPA Auto Parts) for $575,000 per fiscal year through December 3, 2028.
BACKGROUND & HISTORY:
The City’s Fleet division conducts maintenance and repair on city-owned vehiclesand maintained an inventory of automotive parts for the use on various city vehicles. The maintenance of the fleet parts inventory, which included the ordering, receiving, and issuing parts, was done by staff and was a cumbersome process. Staff looked at other options to provide these services cost-effectively and more efficiently. On July 19, 2017, the City Council authorized an award of a Maintenance/General Services Agreement (MGSA) with Genuine Parts Company (GPC) (doing business as NAPA Auto Parts) of Atlanta, GA, for $575,000 per fiscal year for inventory management through a competitive bidding process completed through the national bidding consortium Sourcewell (formerly National Joint Powers Alliance). Sourcewell’s original contract expired on July 21, 2020, but Sourcewell approved an amendment through July 21, 2021. On June 3, 2020, the City Council approved the First Amendment to the MGSA with Genuine Parts Company to extend the contract through July 21, 2021.
On September 17, 2020, Sourcewell issued Request for Proposals (RFP) #110520 for Fleet and Facility Related Vendor Managed Inventory and Logistics Management Solutions. Proposals were Facility Related Vendor Managed Inventory and Logistics Management Solutions. Consequently, Sourcewell executed a contract with GPC, doing business as NAPA Integrated Business Solutions (NAPA Auto Parts), to provide vendormanaged inventory. The new contract expired December 29, 2024. On July 7, 2021, the City Council approved the Second Amendment to the MGSA with Genuine Parts Company to extend the contract through December 29, 2024.
NAPA Auto Parts provides parts ordering, receiving, and inventory management solutions to the City’s Fleet division in a satisfactory manner since the award of the MGSA. NAPA Auto Part’s software, known as TAMS, syncs with the AssetWorks software that Fleet utilizes for vehicle life-cycle management, work orders, purchasing, and parts inventory management, as well as to help streamline the parts and supplies ordering process.
When conducting a repair or routine maintenance, the Fleet Technician requests parts
through Assetworks, automatically sending the request to NAPA Auto Part’s system.
NAPA Auto Parts then issues the parts from their software, and they post them as charges in the Assetworks software for the appropriate work order. NAPA Auto Parts can source parts nationwide as a national company and draw on resources from other NAPA Auto Parts stores to provide the product. Staff has worked closely with NAPA Auto Parts personnel to ensure appropriate parts are always on hand.
ANALYSIS:
On July 16, 2024, Sourcewell issued Request for Proposals (RFP) #090624 for Vendor Managed Inventory and Logistics Management Solutions for Fleets and Facilities.
Subsequently, Sourcewell executed a contract with NAPA Auto Parts for this service. The contract is valid through December 3, 2028, and may be extended for three (3) additional one-year extensions following the December 2028 expiration date. The City has an existing MGSA with NAPA Auto Parts and recommends executing a Third Amendment to extend the terms of the agreement through December 3, 2028, to be consistent with the Sourcewell contract. The terms of the original agreement are still valid under the new Sourcewell contract. The City’s agreement with the vendor utilizes pricing the following pricing option as outlined in the agreement:
Goods are sold to the City at a 10% gross margin over NAPA’s acquisition cost Operating expenses are billed to the City at actual cost with no markup NAPA’s return is built into the price of the part, so no separate fee is billed The City spends on average $29,210 monthly on parts and $4,868 monthly on the management fee. The proposed annual amount of $575,000 annually will cover these monthly expenditures and provide capacity to adapt to anticipated cost increases.
BASIS FOR DETERMINATION OF COMPETITIVE BIDDING:
Staff believes that competitive bidding has already been completed for this purchase pursuant to Corona Municipal Code (“CMC”) Section 3.08.140(C), which states as follows:
“Competitive bidding already completed. When the purchasing agent and the authorized contracting party, with the approval of the City Manager, determine that:
(1) Another public agency has conducted a competitive bid procedure including, but not limited to, another local agency, the state through the California Multiple Award Schedule (CMAS), the federal government through the General Services Administration (GSA), the U.S. Communities Government Purchasing Alliance, or the Western States Contracting Alliance (WSCA); and
(2) The price to the City is equal to or better than the price to that public agency.” Staff believes awarding this contract is in the City's best interest because the City receives competitive pricing consistent with Sourcewell’s contract, and there would be no competitive advantage gained from conducting an in-house bid. NAPA Auto Part’s
vendor-managed inventory system has been very successful for the City and eliminates the need for City staff to use time and resources to find and obtain necessary parts.
Further, NAPA can leverage their nationwide buying power to obtain parts priced better than those available to the City because they buys in much larger quantities. Additionally, the management fee is reasonable and covers the cost of the NAPA Auto Part’s staff person managing the program.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Funding for the recommended actions is available in the Public Works Department’s operating budget within the Fleet Operations Fund 682. Funding for future fiscal years will be requested through the annual budget process.
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. These actions are merely to extend a parts and services agreement with the City of Corona, and there is no possibility that these actions will have a significant effect on the environment.
Therefore, no environmental analysis is required.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBJECT:
MAINTENANCE/GENERAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH INNOVATIVE DESIGN AND SHEET METAL PRODUCTS, INC., (DBA INNOVATIVE EMERGENCY
EQUIPMENT) FOR UPFITTING OF POLICE VEHICLES AND AS-NEEDED FOR OTHER DEPARTMENT’S VEHICLES
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
This staff report asks the City Council to approve the Maintenance/General Services Agreement with Innovative Design and Sheet Metal Products, Inc., (DBA Innovative Emergency Equipment) for the upfitting of police vehicles and for other department’s vehicles as-needed.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
That the City Council:
a. Approve the Maintenance/General Services Agreement with Innovative Design and Sheet Metal Products, Inc., (DBA Innovative Emergency Equipment). b. Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute the Maintenance/General Services Agreement with Innovative Design and Sheet Metal Products, Inc. (DBA Innovative Emergency Equipment) for $650,000 per fiscal year for the initial contract term ending September 30, 2029.
c. Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to negotiate and execute any nonsubstantive extensions, change orders, and amendments up to 10% or $65,000 as authorized in Corona Municipal Code Section 3.08.060(J). d. Make a determination under Corona Municipal Code Section 3.08.140(C) that competitive bidding has been satisfied for this purchase based upon the reasons provided in this agenda report.
e. Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to issue a purchase order for Innovative Emergency Equipment for $650,000 per fiscal year through September 30, 2029.
BACKGROUND & HISTORY:
The City has many vehicles within the fleet that require specialized equipment, such as utility trucks, fire vehicles, and police vehicles. Generally, public safety vehicles require upfitting to ensure that the vehicles are properly equipped. Specifically, the police department uses various vehicle types, including marked black-and-white units, unmarked enforcement units, and unmarked investigative cars. These vehicles are outfitted with specialized equipment that police officers need to perform their duties safely.
ANALYSIS:
The City has been using Innovative Emergency Equipment for vehicle upfitting services since 2020 and finds the service provided satisfactorily. Their services were secured via a cooperative purchasing process conducted by the County of Riverside. The prior procurement expired, prompting Riverside County Purchasing, on behalf of Riverside County Sheriff’s Office, to issue a new Request for Quotation (RFQ) # SHARC-539 for Specialty Vehicle Equipment, Removal, and Installation Services on July 19, 2024. The bid was advertised on PublicPurchase.com. The bid notification was sent to twenty-seven (27) bidders; sixteen (16) of them downloaded the bid, and five (5) of them submitted a cost proposal. All five (5) bids were evaluated and were determined to meet the criteria for each vehicle upfit scope requirement. Riverside County awarded Innovative Design and Sheet Metal Products, Inc. (DBA Innovative Emergency Equipment) a contract on January 7, 2025.
Pursuant to the Corona Municipal Code, Chapter 3.08, the City may enter into an agreement using Riverside County Purchasing’s procurement process with Innovating Emergency Equipment. The City of Corona Purchasing Division determined that the County of Riverside Purchasing and Fleet Services RFQ# SHARC-539 met the City’s bidding requirements. City staff recommends approval of the RFQ# SHARC-539, which met the City’s bidding requirements, and City staff recommends approval of the recommended actions as the items had been competitively bid.
The proposed agreement includes a scope of work for installing lights, sirens, computer brackets, Axon in-car video recording hardware, prisoner transportation areas, storage boxes, and firearms locking systems. Each police vehicle upfit is approximately $30,000.
The proposed annual amount of $650,000 would support upfitting up to 21 vehicles.
Additionally, the agreement allows for equipping other city vehicles as necessary.
BASIS FOR DETERMINATION OF COMPETITIVE BIDDING:
Staff believes that competitive bidding has already been completed for this purchase pursuant to Corona Municipal Code (“CMC”) Section 3.08.140(C), which states as follows:
“Competitive bidding already completed. When the purchasing agent and the authorized contracting party, with the approval of the City Manager, determine that:
(1) Another public agency has conducted a competitive bid procedure including, but not limited to, another local agency, the state through the California Multiple Award Schedule (CMAS), the federal government through the General Services Administration (GSA), the U.S. Communities Government Purchasing Alliance, or the Western States Contracting Alliance (WSCA); and
(2) The price to the City is equal to or better than the price to that public agency.” Staff believes awarding this contract is in the City's best interest because the City receives competitive pricing consistent with Riverside County’s contract, and there would be no competitive advantage gained from conducting an in-house bid.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Funding for the recommended actions is available in the Vehicle Procurement Operating and Maintenance Project No. 6834 within the Fleet Replacement Fund 684.
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 merely approves the purchase of vehicles, and there is no possibility that these actions will have a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, no environmental analysis is required.
