AGENDA ITEM REPORT
ITEM NO. CC 7
Meeting: August 5, 2025
Title: Memorandum of Understanding between LA County Metropolitan Transportation Authority & the City of Covina for Prop. A Discretionary Incentive Grant Program for Collecting & Reporting Data for the National Transit Database for Report Year 2023 Presented by: Rafael M. Fajardo, Director of Public Works/City Engineer Recommendation: Authorize the City Manager to execute the Memorandum of Understanding between the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority and the City of Covina for the Proposition A Discretionary Incentive Grant Program for Collecting and Reporting Data for the National Transit Database for Report Year 2023.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY/BACKGROUND:

The National Transit Database (NTD) is a federal program established by Congress which provides incentive funding to transit operators that follow federal reporting guidelines in the submittal of annual transportation related data to the Federal Transit Administration (FTA).

The City of Covina and many other cities within Los Angeles County operate fixed-route and Dial-A-Ride public transit services. Rather than require each city to report data unilaterally to the FTA, the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LACMTA) submits a consolidated NTD report to the FTA on behalf of 45+ cities. The data submitted by each of the local operators generates additional Federal Section 5307 transportation funds for the region. Once Congress apportions these funds, LACMTA enters into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with each eligible city for their fair share of pertinent Section 5307 monies.

DISCUSSION:

In order to qualify for and receive Proposition A Discretionary Incentive funds, the City of Covina participates as a voluntary reporter in the NTD’s Demand Response Mode for Los Angeles County Small Operators by submitting Covina Transit data to the LACMTA and agreeing to an independent audit of Covina Transit operations by an independent audit firm contracted by LACMTA.

There is a two-year deferral in the receipt of Proposition A Discretionary Incentive funds and approval of the MOU (Attachment A) will allow the City to receive additional Proposition A funds as a result of the City’s successful passage of the FY 2022-23 operational audit. As a voluntary NTD reporter, the City is eligible to receive an incentive payment equal to the 47,348 revenue vehicle miles reported in FY2022-23 multiplied by the FTA unit value of $0.686483228324693 per revenue vehicle mile, resulting in a total payment of $32,504 in Proposition A Discretionary Incentive funds.

Upon final execution of the MOU, City staff shall submit one invoice to LACMTA in the amount of $32,504 to comply with program requirements and receive requisite funds. LACMTA, in turn, will substitute local Proposition A monies for Federal Section 5307 monies as the source funds for payment to the City, which will be expended according to Proposition A and Proposition C Local Return Guidelines adopted by the LACMTA Board.

Page 57 of 382 ends

FISCAL IMPACT:

Participation will allow the City of Covina to receive $32,504 in Proposition A Discretionary Incentive funds from LACMTA for the successful completion of the FY 2022-23 NTD Program Report. These funds will be deposited into the Proposition A NTD Incentive Transit Fund (2400-0000-42211) and can only be utilized for transportation expenses that qualify under Proposition A and Proposition C Local Return Guidelines adopted by the LACMTA Board.

CEQA (CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT):

The action is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

Respectfully submitted,

Title: Designating Certain Officials as Individuals Authorized to Execute Applications and Documents for the Purpose of Obtaining Financial Assistance Under Public Law 93-288 (PL 93-288)
Presented by: Theresa Franke, Director of Finance
Recommendation: Adopt Resolution CC 2025-95 designating the Mayor, City Manager, or Director of Finance as authorized agent to execute applications and documents for the purpose of obtaining financial assistance for disaster relief.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

In the event of a natural disaster, damage may result in significant losses to the City of Covina generating the need for financial assistance from State and Federal sources. In addition, grants from these sources are available for related items, such as hazard mitigation efforts. In order to obtain such funds, one of the required elements is the submission of certain specified documents that have been signed by the City’s authorized agents. Approval of Resolution CC 2025-95 (Attachment A) will update the existing designated agents to reflect the Mayor, City Manager, or Director of Finance as authorized agents for the purpose of executing applications and documents in order to receive reimbursement funds for disaster relief and related activity. This update is necessary due to the reclassification of the Deputy Director of Administrative Services Director to the Director of Finance.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The adoption of Resolution CC 2025-95 will allow the City to make applications for State and Federal financial assistance as a result of certain specified disasters and grant opportunities. To the extent that financial assistance is received under Public Law 93-288, either a portion or all of the funds expended by the City in a disaster could be recovered.

CEQA (CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT):

AGENDA ITEM REPORT
ITEM NO. CC 13
Meeting: August 5, 2025
Title: Speed Hump Installation Project – Armel Drive between Rowland Avenue and Workman Avenue
Presented by: Rafael M. Fajardo, Director of Public Works/City Engineer Recommendation: 1. Approve Recommendation from the Transportation and Mobility Advisory Commission for the installation of speed humps on Armel Drive between Rowland Avenue and Workman Avenue; and

2. Award a Minor Construction and Maintenance Agreement to FS Contractors, Inc as the lowest responsive, responsible bidder in an amount not-to-exceed $22,950 and authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

During the past several months, the Department of Public Works - Engineering Division has received service requests from residents for the installation of traffic calming speed humps along Armel Drive between Rowland Avenue and Workman Avenue. On January 14, 2025, City staff presented this request to the Transportation and Mobility Advisory Commission for their consideration and recommendation to the City Council. The Transportation and Mobility Advisory Commission reviewed and approved staff’s recommendation for the installation of two speed humps on Armel Drive between Rowland Avenue and Workman Avenue.

Speed humps have been used as a traffic calming device in many cities to reduce vehicle speeds on local residential streets with a single travel lane in each direction. Speed humps are round, raised areas of asphalt constructed across the roadway width. The length of speed humps are generally 12 feet with a maximum height of 3 inches; speed humps can also span the full width of a street tapering at the gutters to not affect storm water flow.

BACKGROUND:

Armel Drive is a residential local roadway that runs north / south, carries one lane of traffic in each direction and is stop-controlled at Rowland Avenue and Workman Avenue. The roadway is approximately 32-feet wide from curb face to curb face with parking allowed on the west and east side of the road with no street sweeping restrictions. The length of the project area is approximately 1,260 linear feet.

Several requests were made to the Engineering Department from residents living on Armel Drive between Rowland Avenue and Workman Avenue for the installation of traffic calming improvements. Residents stated vehicles are speeding through their neighborhood due to the lack of stop signs and other traffic calming measures and that an accident involving a vehicle may happen at any time.

DISCUSSION:

Residents living at this location submitted a Speed Hump request to the Engineering Division (Attachment A).

City staff reviewed and analyzed the request according to the City’s Speed Hump Policy and determined that this street segment is eligible for the installation of two speed humps pursuant to the following:
 A substantial majority (67%) of residents on logical continuous segments of a local residential street must support the installation of speed humps; 68% approved the installation.

Page 99 of 382 ends

 The street shall be no more than one lane in each direction.  The street should not be a truck route or a transit route.  The street should not have grades greater than 5%. On hilly/rolling streets, the eligible segment of the street shall meet the minimum sight distance requirements.  Streets eligible for the installation of speed humps shall have a posted speed limit of 30 mph or less as determined in accordance with State Law, and shall have an 85% percentile speed minimum of 10 mph over the posted speed limit.
 Streets less than 1,200 feet and greater than 600 feet may be eligible for speed humps provided they meet all other criteria and the street is continuous to street segments of 1,200 feet or longer with speed humps.

City staff requested informal proposals for the Speed Hump Installation Project – Armel Drive between Rowland Avenue and Workman Avenue and three (3) proposals were submitted with the following results:

Rank Contractor Location Bid Base Amount
1 FS Contractors, Inc Sylmar, CA $22,950
2 G.M. Sager Construction Co, Inc Pomona, CA $27,000
3 Gentry Brothers, Inc Irwindale, CA No Response
City staff reviewed all proposal documents as well as contractor backgrounds and recently completed projects for competency. It was subsequently determined that FS Contractors, Inc. was the lowest responsive, responsible bidder to perform the Speed Hump Installation Project – Armel Drive between Rowland Avenue and Workman Avenue.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This project will be funded by the Measure R half-cent sales tax used to finance new transportation projects and programs. A total funding amount of $100,000 has been allocated from Measure R funding sources (Account No. 2410-2200-55310-T2602) for the Traffic Calming Improvement Project – City Wide in the City’s approved Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Capital Improvement Program Budget. Construction of the Speed Hump Installation Project on Armel Drive between Rowland Avenue and Workman Avenue will serve as a new traffic calming measure intended to protect the health and safety of Covina residents.

CEQA (CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT):

This project has been determined to be categorically exempt under CEQA in accordance with Title 14, Chapter 3, Class 1, Sections 15301 and 15302. This exemption includes the minor alteration of existing public facilities involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the time of the lead agency's determination.

The project involves negligible or no expansion of an existing use.

AGENDA ITEM REPORT
ITEM NO. CC 14
Meeting: August 5, 2025
Title: Award of Contract to FS Contractors, Inc. for the Replacement of Fencing located at the Covina City Yard and various locations along Charter Oak Wash in an amount not-toexceed $52,500 Presented by: Rafael M. Fajardo, Director of Public Works/City Engineer Recommendation: Authorize the City Manager to execute a contract between FS Contractors, Inc. and the City of Covina for the Replacement of Fencing located at the Covina City Yard and various locations along Charter Oak Wash.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY/BACKGROUND:

The Department of Public Works is responsible for maintaining City-owned fencing at various locations across Covina and large sections of fencing that have been in place for decades and are now deteriorated, rusted, and/or encroaching onto neighboring properties. Three locations in particular need of replacement are situated along the Charter Oak Wash, abutting City property lines. Similarly, the fencing enclosing the City Yard is decades old and has been vandalized several times in attempts to gain access to the facility after-hours. Fencing at the aforementioned locations currently poses increasing security and safety risks to both City and neighboring properties and the installation of new fencing should provide greater security and reduce trespassing, decrease the need for repairs and fortify the structures for years to come. Thus, City staff is recommending approval of a fencing contract to FS Contractors, Inc. in an amount not-to-exceed $52,500 (Attachment A) for the installation of new fencing at four citywide locations.

DISCUSSION:

City staff recently assessed the condition of city-owned fencing in multiple locations and determined the following four (4) locations to be in most urgent need of fencing repairs:
 City Yard – 534 North Barranca Avenue
 Banna Avenue access Charter Oak Wash – Nearest 714 North Banna Avenue  Glendora Avenue access Charter Oak Wash – Nearest 702 North Banna Avenue  Greenpark Avenue access Charter Oak Wash – Nearest 781 North Greenpark Avenue (on Cypress Street) Two sections of fencing (southwest and northwest corners) at the City Yard have been identified for replacement and the existing chain-link fence at the southwest corner will be replaced with wrought-iron fencing in order to deter future attempts at unauthorized facility access. To date, there have been nearly 10 holes that City staff has repaired after these attempts. At the northern end of the lot, the exiting chain-link fence abuts the railroad tracks and will be replaced with new chain-link. This will establish a structure that no longer leans toward the tracks and provides a safer delineation for both properties.

At each of the above-listed entrances of the Charter Oak Wash, the access points have been in place for years and are deteriorating and rusting. Replacement of existing chain-link fencing with new chain-link will improve safety and security and also enhance the aesthetics of the residential neighborhood.

The Department of Public Works utilized informal bidding procedures and reached out to three qualified contractors to perform the specified scope of work, resulting in the following bids:
