REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBJECT:

FY 2025 EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PERFORMANCE GRANT AWARD
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

This staff report asks the City Council to approve the acceptance and appropriation of the Emergency Management Performance Grant award to support the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) programs within the Emergency Management Division.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

That the City Council:
a. Authorize the acceptance of the Fiscal Year 2025 Emergency Management Performance Grant award in the amount of $15,856.
b. Authorize an appropriation and estimated revenue increase in the amount of $15,856 to the Fire Department’s grant budget within the Grant General Fund (FD_1111).

Item 6.2

Page 98 of 410 ends

BACKGROUND & HISTORY:

The Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) provides funding to assist state and local governments in enhancing and sustaining emergency management capabilities, and preparing for all hazards that may impact a community. Funding for local jurisdictions is administered through the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) in coordination with the Riverside County Emergency Management Department. The City has historically received EMPG funding on an annual basis.

Although future funding is not guaranteed, the City anticipates receiving future allocations, as funding becomes available.

ANALYSIS:

Funding from the 2025 EMPG grant will be utilized by the Fire Department’s Emergency Management Division to support preparedness activities, training, and community outreach. Specifically, the funds will enhance the City’s Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) teen program and the Spanish program. The City’s Teen CERT program is a partnership with the Corona-Norco Unified School District (CNUSD) which provides students with free CERT preparedness classes. The Spanish CERT program expands preparedness education accessibility to additional members of the community.

These CERT program extensions have been offered in the City for several years.

Continued funding for these programs support citywide emergency management readiness and response capabilities.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

Approval of the recommended actions will result in an appropriation and estimated revenue increase in the amount of $15,856 from the Grant General Fund (FD_1111) to the Fire Department’s grant budget.

The EMPG grant allocation is provided on a reimbursable 50 percent cost-share basis.

The in-kind match will be met utilizing the Fire Department’s current Emergency Management Division approved operating budget.

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. There is no possibility that approving this acceptance of the EMPG grant will have a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, no environmental analysis is required.

e. Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to issue a purchase order to Superb Engineering, Inc. in the amount of $4,501,236.94.

BACKGROUND & HISTORY:

In April 2016, a Concrete Sidewalk Infrastructure Assessment was completed to identify, tripping hazards for all City-maintained sidewalks, curbs, and gutters. The Assessment identified locations in which cracking, patching, faulting, vaulting, spalling, or holes posed a safety risk. As a result of this initial assessment, between November 2017 and March 2018, the Citywide Sidewalk Improvements Phase I Project, No. 2017-01, underwent construction, entailing the replacement of more than 80,000 square feet of damaged sidewalk at 850 addresses and 110 linear feet of curbs and gutters. A subsequent assessment in 2021 was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

A Complete Sidewalk Condition/Pedestrian Ramp Assessment was conducted between December 2023 and July 2025 to identify additionally distressed sidewalk locations, quantify vertical displacement heights, confirm the type of repair treatments recommended, and tabulate sidewalk replacement square footage. As a result, staff marked each location in the field and verified sidewalk replacement square footage for accuracy by October 2025. Approximately 5,100 locations were identified as having a vertical displacement height of ¾ inch or greater, a separation (including cracking, joint spalling, etc.) of ¾ inch or greater, or an excessive cross slope or grade of > 8%. These locations were targeted for a single citywide sidewalk-improvement capital improvement project in FY 26/27 to eliminate the most severe trip hazards throughout the City in the shortest time possible.

The bid schedule for this project included bid items for landscape maintenance, which would prevent recurring sidewalk issues at locations where sidewalk replacement or grinding is currently necessary. The as-needed root pruning, placement of root guards, or tree removals will be inspected and evaluated by a licensed International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) arborist.

Item 6.3

This project will reduce physical barriers in public walkways, ensure compliance with accessibility requirements under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), reduce tripand-fall liability, and meet the goals of the City's Sidewalk Inspection and Minor Repair Program Policy.

ANALYSIS:

The Plans and Specifications for the project were completed and reviewed by staff and are ready for adoption and award. As specified in the bid package, the City shall award the contract for the Project to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder, as determined from the lowest total on the Base and Alternate Bid Schedules.

The project was advertised in the Sentinel Weekly on July 17, 2026, soliciting bids, pursuant to Corona Municipal Code section 3.08.90, Public projects - formal bidding procedure, and purchasing policy through the City’s PlanetBids bidding portal. Five hundred thirty-four (534) prospective bidders were notified of the project through the PlanetBids bidding portal, and nineteen (19) prospective bidders downloaded the bid document files.

These actions are categorically exempt pursuant to Section 15301(c) of the Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), which states that a project which consists of minor repairs and maintenance to existing facilities does not have a significant impact on the environment and is therefore exempt from CEQA. This action involves minor repairs, maintenance, and alteration of existing highways, streets, sidewalks, or similar features involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that currently existing from the requirements of CEQA. A Notice of Exemption will be filed prior to the start of construction.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBJECT:

PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT FOR OPERATIONS, MARKETING, AND SPECIAL EVENT SERVICES AT THE HUB.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

This staff report asks Council to approve a Professional Services Agreement with Ground Review Corona, LLC, for Operations, Marketing, and Special Events Services at The Hub.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

That the City Council:
a. Approve the Professional Services Agreement with Ground Review Corona, LLC, for operations, marketing, and special events services for a term of five (5) years in the not-to-exceed amount of $3,111,696, and waive any and all minor irregularities in the proposal.
b. Authorize an Exception to Bid pursuant to Section 3.08.140(D) of the Corona Municipal Code - Purpose of bidding is otherwise accomplished, as outlined in the Determination for Competitive Bidding section of this staff report.

Item 6.4

Page 114 of 410 ends

c. Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute the Professional Services Agreement with Ground Review Corona, LLC, in the not-to-exceed amount of $3,111,696, including any non-substantive extensions, change orders, purchase orders, and amendments up to 10% of the contract amount ($311,169). d. Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to issue purchase orders annually to Ground Review Corona, LLC, in the annual amounts outlined within the Professional Services Agreement.
e. Authorize an appropriation in the amount of $315,000 in the Economic Development Department’s Operating Budget within the Corona Mall Properties Fund (FD_1130) for FY 2027.

BACKGROUND & HISTORY:

The Hub. is a City-owned property in Downtown Corona that serves as a multi-tenant destination for retail, dining, and entertainment. The property includes indoor tenant spaces and a shared outdoor communal area, designed to support events and community gatherings.

On December 24, 2024, the City of Corona acquired The Hub. as part of its strategic downtown revitalization efforts, with the goal of creating an active, vibrant dining and retail experience in the heart of the Downtown. Following acquisition, the City has been recruiting tenants, designing building renovations for two buildings within the center, and identifying professional firms to assist with the maintenance and operations of the site.

The best business practice for commercial center owners is to retain services for property management, a center operator, and a leasing agent. On July 1, 2026, the City entered into a contract for property management with G&E Real Estate Management Services, Inc., dba Newmark (Newmark). On August 5, 2026, the City entered into a Broker Agreement for leasing of commercial property at The Hub. with Ground Review Brokerage Corporation.

ANALYSIS:

To ensure the effective operation and long-term success of The Hub., the City initiated several specialized competitive procurement processes to secure qualified operators for various services at The Hub. This proposed professional services agreement focuses on marketing, operations, and special event programming to ensure that The Hub. is a thriving activity and community space that can aid in driving the City’s broader downtown revitalization efforts.

Request for Proposals (RFP) No. 26-039AS for The Hub. Programming and Operating Services was advertised on March 16, 2026, pursuant to CMC Section 3.08.110 nonpublic projects formal bidding procedure, and posted on the City’s bidding portal, PlanetBids. To encourage a more competitive solicitation process, and due to lower-thananticipated interest, the City issued Addendum No. 1 on April 7, 2026, to respond to Item 6.4

Page 115 of 410 ends

questions from potential bidders, followed by Addendum No. 2 on April 14, 2026, which extended the proposal submission deadline to April 28, 2026.

During the bidding period, more than two hundred vendors received notification of this opportunity, and in an effort to receive as many proposals as possible, the Economic Development staff also extended direct invitations to several experienced shopping center and food hall operators. Even with this broad outreach, only four firms reviewed the RFP documents during the bidding process, two of which had any relevant experience.

On April 28, 2026, two proposals were received through the PlanetBids, one from Ground Review Corona, LLC (an affiliate of the previously mentioned Ground Review Brokerage Corporation), and the second from the Latin & Asian Hospitality Group – Samuel and Lucas Food Trucks Company. Ground Review Corona, LLC, presented relevant experience in the management and operations of thriving commercial centers. The Latin & Asian Hospitality Group, a catering and food truck operator company, only depicted some experience in managing small cafes, food trucks, and catering events, lacking experience in some of the more specialized services sought by the City through this RFP.

Following the review of the two proposals, it was determined that neither proposal adequately addressed the scope of work defined in the RFP. Staff canceled the solicitation and notified the proposers.

However, given Ground Review Corona, LLC’s demonstrated experience, their partnership with the City in the development of the concept and design for The Hub., and their assistance with the recruitment of tenants to the center, staff approached the firm to further discuss their services and negotiate a specialized scope of the contract. With Newmark on contract for property management, and the evolving needs for The Hub. in general, the goal of this negotiation was to refine the scope of work to focus the outstanding specialization needed for the center and develop a competitive compensation schedule, resulting in the attached Professional Service Agreement (PSA) for the City Council’s consideration.

The draft PSA sets an initial 5 year term, ending in September 2031, with the compensation structure for the duration of the term, inclusive of:
 Annual Base Fee;
 10% of Base Rent / Project Revenues per occupied unit beginning on month 13;  10% of Percentage Rent Projection NTE 25% above each tenant’s breakpoint; and
 Events fee estimated at 5% of base fee.

Item 6.4

Page 116 of 410 ends

These terms equate to a maximum annual allowance of the following:

Year 1 2 3 4 5
Months 1-12 13-24 25-36 37-48 49-60
Calendar Year
2026/202
7 2027/2028 2028/2029 2029/2030 2030/2031
Monthly Base Fee $25,000 $26,250 $27,563 $28,941 $30,388 Annual Base Fee $300,000 $315,000 $330,750 $347,288 $364,652 10% of Base Rent/Project
Revenues $0 $194,880 $276,542 $296,285 $315,502
10% of PR NTE 25% Above
BP $0 $66,799 $70,139 $73,646 $77,328
Events Fees (Estimated at
5% of Base) $15,000 $15,750 $16,538 $17,364 $18,233
Gross Potential Revenue $315,000 $592,429 $693,969 $734,583 $775,715 These rates assume The Hub. is occupied at full capacity, therefore the amounts memorialized in the PSA represent the maximum amount payable to Ground Review Corona, LLC in the event that all spaces are occupied. Actual payments to Ground Review Corona, LLC will be made based on actual occupancy at the time payment is requested. The total not-to-exceed amount for all 5 years is $3,111,696.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE OF THE HUB.

The Hub. will generate revenue from three primary sources: promotional fees, common area maintenance (CAM) fees, and rents. The promotional fees will be used for marketing and events programming, with the intent of increasing awareness of The Hub. and attracting customers to the center. The CAM fees will fund services such as landscaping, security, site repairs, and site cleaning, to ensure the center operators in a clear and safe manner. The rents will fund repayment of the bonds that are being issued for building renovations and start up activities, special events programming, and periodic capital improvements for the center.

The five year projected revenue for The Hub. is approximately $12,500,000 between gross revenue between rents, common area maintenance payments, and promotional fees. Assuming the City achieves this leve of revenue, the contract under consideration willhave a not to exceed amount of $3,111,696 for the five year term. Projected total expenses for this time frame are approximately $5,000,000 for the array of contracted services, with a net operating income of approximately $7,000,000 returned to the City in the first five years. With programmed rent, CAM charges, and promotional fee payments increasing at a set rate, every year, of approximately five percent per year, revenue growth will outpace projected expense growth.

Item 6.4

Page 117 of 410 ends

DETERMINATION FOR COMPETITIVE BIDDING
As noted above, the City previously conducted a competitive solicitation for these services and received two proposals. Following the evaluation, the City determined that neither proposal adequately met the City's needs and canceled the solicitation without award.

Following cancellation of the solicitation, the Department engaged Ground Review Corona, LLC regarding the revised service requirements and negotiated a scope and pricing that meet the Department's current operational needs and differs from the scope originally solicited. Given the limited response to the City's prior competitive solicitation, the unsuccessful outcome of that process, the subsequent refinement of the City's requirements, and the additional time and administrative resources that would be required to conduct another solicitation, staff believes proceeding with the proposed agreement is in the City's best interest. Accordingly, the staff recommends that the City Council authorize an exception to bid for this service pursuant to section 3.08.140 (D) - Purpose of bidding is otherwise accomplished.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

Approval of the recommended actions will result in an appropriation in the amount of $315,000 to the Economic Development Department’s Operating Budget within the Corona Mall Properties Fund (FD_1130) for the remainder of FY 2027. This includes $300,000 for the Year 1 base operator compensation, and $15,000 for anticipated additional costs associated with operator activities and special event programming under the agreement.

Compensation for Ground Review Corona, LLC includes a base monthly payment of $25,000 for the first year, with a 5% annual increase beginning the Year 2. The contract also includes a payment of 10% of the gross monthly rental income beginning in Year 2, which incentivizes tenant retention at the center going forward. Extraordinary tenant earning also generate a source of revenue for the operator, with 10% of any percentage rent paid by tenants being remitted to the operator. These extraordinary earnings conditions are not guaranteed and, when they do occur, may vary month to month across the tenants at The Hub.. The agreement also provides for an administrative fee for special events programming, covering weekly, monthly, and annual events to be held at the site, to support tenant customer attraction efforts and reinforce The Hub. as the center of downtown cultural and entertainment activities. The not-to-exceed amount of the contract of $3,111,696 is meant to capture the combination of the guaranteed fee, plus the maximum possible amounts for the percentage-based compensation.

Actual compensation will vary based on a percentage of gross revenues generated at the property; however, the minimum amount provides a conservative and predictable cost basis for budgeting purposes, with additional funding being allocated during the City’s budgeting process to reflect the current state of The Hub. revenue generation. Years Two through Five have not-to-exceed amounts of $592,429, $693,969, $734,583, and $775,715, reflecting increased center occupancy, guaranteed escalation in rent payments over the term of the tenant leases, maximized event programming, and consistent extraordinary earnings conditions from all tenants.

Item 6.4

Page 118 of 410 ends

While The Hub. is in its startup phase, with not all retail suites occupied or the food hall completed, the City will provide the funding for this agreement. Once the center is fully occupied, rent revenues from the center tenants will fully fund this contract, as well as all other contracts needed for the full operation and maintenance of The Hub..

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:

This action is categorically exempt pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), which state that 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 is to approve a Professional Services Agreement with Ground Review Corona, LLC, and there is no possibility that approval of the recommended actions will have a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, no environmental analysis is required.

EXHIBIT “A”

SCOPE OF SERVICES
Consultant agrees to furnish to the City all labor, materials, tools, equipment, services, and incidental and customary work necessary to fully and adequately supply the professional services necessary for the Project. The Services are more particularly described below.

Consultant will act in a role comparable to an operating and development advisor to the City for the Project, including overseeing, advising on, and, where directed by the City, executing substantially all aspects of Project operations, programming, marketing, leasing-strategy oversight, community relations, tenant communication and collaboration, and ongoing design and development support for any planned project improvements but excluding the services listed under “Services Excluded from the Agreement” at the end of this Exhibit (the “Excluded Services”).

Operating Procedures for all items in this Scope of Services are detailed in Exhibit “D” of this Agreement. Exhibit D is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

1. Programming and Events
Consultant shall:
• Submit to the City a draft annual programming and activation calendar of recurring or seasonal programming. The annual calendar shall set forth the anticipated frequency, types, and projected budget of events; specific events shall be confirmed through the monthly look-ahead calendar described below.
• Recommend recurring, seasonal, and special events.
• Coordinate programming with The Hub tenants.
• Recruit performers, vendors, instructors, community organizations, and event partners. • Partner with and/or support local community club organizations (e.g., running or cycling clubs), including identifying, partnering with, and coordinating with existing community organizations (e.g., a local running club hosting a weekly run that begins and/or ends at the Project).

This event-specific budget approval is separate from, and in addition to, the annual Programming and Marketing Budget described elsewhere in this Exhibit.

The proposed Programming and Marketing Budget will be provided to the City by November 1 of each year, for inclusion in the City’s annual budgeting process.

No expenditure above the authorization threshold established in writing by the City’s Representative shall be incurred without prior written approval. This authorization threshold may be set forth in the approved Programming and Marketing Budget referenced in Exhibit “B,” but the City may increase or decrease the threshold at its discretion regardless of the amount reflected in the budget.

EXHIBIT “D”

HUB OPERATING PROCEDURES AND RESPONSIBILITY MATRIX

1. PURPOSE
This Exhibit establishes the operating procedures, responsibility assignments, approval requirements, reporting requirements, and coordination protocols governing the operation of The HUB (the “Project”).

The purpose of this Exhibit is to establish a clear operating structure among the City of Corona (“City”), Ground Review (“Consultant”), the City's property management firm (“Property Manager”), the City's leasing representative, tenants, vendors, contractors, and other Project participants.

This Exhibit supplements the Scope of Services in Exhibit “A.” It is intended to provide the practical procedures through which the Services will be performed.

Nothing in this Exhibit expands Consultant's authority to bind the City or modify the rights and obligations established by the Professional Services Agreement, the Broker Agreement between Consultant and City, the Property Management Agreement, leases, or other City contracts.

2. OPERATING PRINCIPLES
The parties shall administer the Project according to the following principles:

2.1 One Clear Lead
Each recurring Project responsibility shall have one designated lead party. Other parties may support, advise, review, or approve the activity, but responsibility for initiating and coordinating the activity shall be clearly assigned.

2.2 City Retains Ultimate Authority
The City retains ultimate authority (but not necessarily responsibility or liability) over:
• The overall direction, leasing strategy, marketing, and operations for The Hub • City expenditures;
• City contracts;
• leases and lease economics;
• capital improvements;
• City policies;
• official City communications;
• disposition or use of City property;
• changes to the Property Management Agreement;
• procurement decisions; and
• matters reserved by law or City policy to the City Manager or City Council.

2.3 Consultant as Operating and Development Advisor

Page 149 of 410 ends

01000.31000#11000588v11.JAMIER
Consultant shall serve as the City's primary operating and development advisor for the Project within the scope of the Agreement.

Consultant shall coordinate activities, develop recommendations, monitor performance, identify issues, and, where expressly authorized, execute approved activities.

Consultant shall not assume responsibilities expressly assigned to the Property Manager, tenants, contractors, or other City consultants unless the City authorizes such responsibility in writing.

2.4 Property Manager as Day-to-Day Property Operator
The City’s Property Manager, under separate contract with the City, shall remain responsible for the day-to-day property management functions assigned under its agreement with the City, including routine tenant relations, maintenance coordination, common-area operations, property accounting, and other services within its contractual scope.

Consultant shall oversee and monitor Property Manager performance but shall not independently modify the Property Management Agreement or create contractual obligations for the City.

2.5 Written Approval for Material Decisions
Material decisions affecting City funds, City property, leases, contracts, public communications, capital improvements, or Project risk shall be documented in writing.

Email confirmation from the authorized City representative shall constitute written approval for purposes of this Exhibit, unless applicable law, City policy, or the Agreement requires a signed writing or City Council action.

2.6 No Implied Authority
The fact that Consultant coordinates an activity does not, by itself, grant Consultant authority to:
• bind the City;
• sign a contract on behalf of the City when not approved by the City; • approve an expenditure;
• modify a lease;
• modify another consultant's contract;
• direct City employees;
• approve capital improvements; or
• make an official City policy statement.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL AND

CORONA UTILITY AUTHORITY ACTION
SUBJECT:

FIRST AMENDMENT TO PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH ALBERT A. WEBB ASSOCIATES FOR ENGINEERING DESIGN SERVICES
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

This staff report asks the City Council to approve the first amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with Albert A. Webb Associates for engineering design services for capital improvement projects at Water Reclamation Facility #1.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

That the City Council:
a. Approve the First Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with Albert A. Webb Associates for Consulting Design Services increasing the agreement by $250,197 for a total not to exceed amount of $648,278.
b. Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute the First Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement for Consulting Design Services with Albert Item 6.5

Page 180 of 410 ends

A. Webb Associates for a total agreement amount of $648,278 through June 30, 2029, with no additional change order authority.
c. Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to issue a Purchase Order to Albert A. Webb Associates in the amount of $648,278 for the Water Reclamation Facility 1A Blower and Digester Piping and Equipment Upgrade, Capital Improvement Project No. UT-2026-09.

That the Corona Utility Authority review, ratify and to the extent necessary, direct the City Council to take the above actions.

BACKGROUND & HISTORY:

On March 5, 2025, City Council awarded Request for Proposals (RFP) 24-082AT to Albert A. Webb Associates for design and engineering services for Multiple Motor Control Center (MCC) Replacement and Upgrade Project. for a total contract amount of $454,984. This RFP included design and engineering services for four MCC projects. One of the MCC projects is the replacement and relocation of the Primary MCC at Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) 1A, with replacement of the blower and upgrades to the Turblex controls.

On June 18, 2025, City Council awarded RFP 25-034AT to Albert A. Webb Associates for Design and Engineering Services related to the Digester Equipment Rehabilitation and Electric Upgrade Project at WRF1 for a total contract amount of $398,081.

As design for these projects was underway, City staff determined that combining the WRF1A Primary MCC replacement and relocation, blower replacement, and Turblex control upgrades with the Digester Equipment Rehabilitation and Electric Upgrade Project was the most efficient route for constructability and startup of the various project components.

Additionally, the City had a third project to replace the boilers at WRF1, which related into the larger projects occurring at the same location. The design for the boiler replacement was previously prepared by APEC but had not gone out to bid for construction, pending replacement of the motor control centers.

Staff decided to combine the interrelated projects, now titledthe Water Reclamation Facility 1A Blower and Digester Piping and Equipment Upgrade (Project) and is inclusive all the components of the individual projects. Combining these projects allows for a shorter construction schedule, enhanced sequencing of construction, a single contractor working in a small area of the treatment plant, and better coordination of startup and commissioning at each step in the Project.

ANALYSIS:

Item 6.5

Page 181 of 410 ends

During design of the Project, the design team identified that the existing Blower Building was inadequate to accommodate the new equipment and would require significant modifications which necessitated a structural analysis. The structural analysis indicated that major seismic retrofits would be necessary, given the existing building is over 60 years old. As such, the City team determined that replacing the building is the most costeffective path forward. Webb’s original design budget did not include replacing the building.

Staff recommends amending the Professional Services Agreement with Albert A. Webb and Associates (RFP 25-034AT), by $250,197, bringing the total from $398,081 to $648,278 to complete the Project’s design in order to bid the project for construction.

There are no changes needed on the original PSA with Albert A. Webb and Associates (RFP 24-082AT).

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

Funding for the recommended actions is available in the Water Reclamation Facility 1A Blower and Digester Piping and Equipment Upgrade, Capital Improvement Project No.

UT-2026-09 within the Sewer Utility Fund (FD_1572).

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:

This action is categorically exempt pursuant to Section 15302 of the Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), which states replacement or reconstruction of existing structures and facilities where the new structure will be located on the same site as the structure replaced and will have substantially the same purpose and capacity as the structure replaced, and is therefore exempt from CEQA. This action involves design services for the replacement of existing equipment and an existing building.

Therefore, no environmental analysis is required, and staff will file a Notice of Exemption with the County of Riverside.

That the Corona Utility Authority review, ratify, and to the extent necessary, direct the City Council to take the above actions.

BACKGROUND & HISTORY:

On September 20, 2023, the City Council approved a Professional Services Agreement with Narasimhan Consulting Services, Inc. (NCS Engineers) to provide design and engineering services for 1,2,3-Trichloropropane (1,2,3-TCP) and Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) remediation and treatment.

PFAS are a class of manufactured chemicals that are persistent in the environment and may accumulate in water sources. Scientific research has identified potential adverse health effects associated with exposure to certain PFAS. As state and federal PFAS regulations continue to evolve, the City must be prepared to comply with applicable drinking water standards and ensure the continued delivery of safe and reliable potable water.

Additionally, 1,2,3-TCP is also a manufactured chemical that can persist in groundwater and is classified as a carcinogenic substance. To enhance the City's ability to address 1,2,3-TCP and PFAS in its water supply, NCS Engineers developed design plans for modifications to the existing well treatment facilities, as well as upgrades to the City's Park Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) Treatment Plant.

ANALYSIS:

Following completion of the initial plans, specifications, and cost estimates, staff identified concerns regarding the limited size of the proposed treatment facility at the Well 7A site, particularly with respect to chemical delivery and handling. Staff also raised concerns regarding the proposed facility's aesthetic impacts and compatibility with the surrounding community. To address the Well 7A concerns, two locations have been identified for the well’s water diversion and treatment, the City’s GAC Treatment Plant and Well 8A. When evaluating alternative treatment configurations for the wells, staff also requested that NCS Item 6.6

Page 193 of 410 ends

Engineers revise the design to incorporate treatment of Well 17 and provide greater flexibility to accommodate future treatment needs for additional wells.

The revised approach would consolidate treatment for both Well 8A and Well 17 at a centralized facility at the Well 8A site, providing the City with greater operational flexibility and the ability to address future water quality needs more efficiently.

Under the revised Scope of Work, NCS Engineers will revise the drawings, specifications, and associated design documents to:

1. Provide treatment for water from Well 8A and Well 17 at a centralized treatment facility located at the Well 8A site.

2. Divert Well 7A water to the City's GAC Treatment Plant through installation of a new well collector line in the future.

3. Provide the option to divert Well 7A water to Well 8A site for treatment through some valving modification.

The revised treatment configuration is intended to provide a more efficient and flexible approach to managing 1,2,3-TCP and PFAS, while supporting regulatory compliance and the City's ability to provide safe and reliable potable water. The centralized approach also addresses Staff's concerns regarding facility size, chemical delivery and handling, and potential aesthetic impacts at the Well 7A site.

The existing NCS Engineers agreement expired on September 30, 2025. After reviewing the cost estimate associated with the revised Scope of Work, staff recommends that the City Council approve the Second Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with Narasimhan Consulting Services, Inc. to provide the additional design and engineering services necessary to support 1,2,3-TCP and PFAS treatment improvements and extend the term of the agreement through June 2030..

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

Approval of the recommended actions will result in an appropriation in the amount of $336,812 to the PFAS and 1, 2, 3-TCP Remediation, Capital Improvement Project No.

UT-2024-10 within the Water Utility Fund (FD_1570).

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBJECT:

REPLACEMENT OF TWO POLICE DEPARTMENT VEHICLES
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

This staff report requests that the City Council approve the replacement of two Police Department emergency response vehicles that were damaged beyond repair in traffic collisions.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

That the City Council:
a. Approve the replacement of two Police Department emergency vehicles declared total losses following non-fault collisions.
b. Authorize an appropriation in the amount of $200,650.07 from the Fleet Replacement Fund (FD_1684) to the Vehicle Procurement-Police Operating and Maintenance Project No. PJ_00000491.

BACKGROUND & HISTORY:

As part of the annual budget, the City's Vehicle Replacement List establishes the vehicles authorized for replacement or acquisition during the fiscal year. This list is developed by the Fleet Services Division based on vehicle condition assessments, department needs, and budget availability. Even with the best of planning, vehicles can experience Item 6.7

Page 211 of 410 ends

unforeseeable catastrophic mechanical failures or be involved in traffic collisions that result in a total loss. These vehicles are not scheduled for replacement and thus do not appear on the annual Vehicle Replacement List. Council authorizes their replacement as needed.

Two Police Department emergency response vehicles were involved in traffic collisions in Fiscal Year 2027 (FY27) that resulted in a total loss. They were not identified for scheduled replacement when the FY27 Vehicle Replacement List was developed because the collision losses were unforeseeable. Consequently, the adopted vehicle replacement plan and related appropriations did not include replacement funding for these units.

ANALYSIS:

Staff are seeking City Council’s authorization to add these two vehicles to the FY27 Vehicle Replacement List and include an appropriation to cover the associated replacement costs. The replacement of the two totaled vehicles is recommended to support ongoing Police Department emergency response operations, provide fleet availability, and restore service capacity.

If approved, Fleet Services will procure two similar, current-model, pursuit-rated emergency police vehicles in accordance with Corona Municipal Code purchasing guidelines. Standard emergency police vehicle upfitting would be completed by the City’s current contracted upfitting vendor.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The estimated purchase price and up-fit costs for the two vehicles total $200,650.07 , including a 5% contingency allowance. Approval of the recommended actions will result in an appropriation in the amount of $200,650.07 from the Fleet Replacement Fund (FD_1684)to the Vehicle Procurement-Police, Operating and Maintenance Project No.

PJ_00000491.

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 requesting the addition of two vehicles onto FY27 Vehicle Replacement List, and there is no possibility that approval of the replacement vehicles will have a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, no environmental analysis is required.
