Southern Pump Station Project — Construction Completion and Final Change Order No. 8.

CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council:
(1) Receive and file this report on the completed Southern Pump Station Project; and (2) Ratify and approve Change Order No. 8 to the construction contract with Rove Engineering, decreasing the contract price by $542,993.40 and establishing a final, closedout construction contract price of $16,599,502.00. Change Order No. 8 is executed by the Contractor and recommended by the Public Works Director; Finance Director and City Manager execution are contingent on Council authorization.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No impact to the General Fund. Change Order No. 8 is a balancing change order that decreases, not increases, the construction contract price, reconciling it to actual, fieldverified construction quantities.

DUE DILIGENCE CHECK FOR CONTRACTORS/CONSULTANTS: DID THE

BACKGROUND:

The Southern Pump Station Project was awarded to Rove Engineering on July 31, 2024 as a $11,794,968.00 base contract. Change Order No. 6 (approved January 7, 2026) added $51,863.00 for Manhole 42 installation. Change Order No. 7 (approved February 26, 2026) reallocated costs among several line items at no net change in contract price, while extending the contract time. These actions brought the contract to $17,142,495.40 prior to closeout. Construction is now complete.

DISCUSSION:

Upon final reconciliation of project quantities against actual, as-built construction, total field construction costs came in below the revised contract amount. Change Order No. 8 is a balancing change order that reduces the construction contract price by $542,993.40 to match actual, verified costs, a net credit to the City. The table below summarizes the construction contract cost history from original award through this proposed final closeout action.

Due diligence was carried out when the contract was awarded to Catholic Charities.

BACKGROUND:

In 2022, the City of El Centro received Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) grant funds to support local housing and homelessness initiatives. As part of the application process, the City developed and submitted a Five-Year Plan detailing how funds would be allocated to eligible activities in accordance with program guidelines. Through extensive public outreach, community stakeholders identified that the greatest need was to assist individuals who are experiencing homelessness or at risk of becoming homeless.

On February 20, 2024, the City entered into an agreement with Catholic Charities Diocese of San Diego to implement the Working Hands Workforce Development Program utilizing PLHA funds. The program was designed as a street–to-work workforce development initiative providing temporary employment opportunities, case management, supportive services, and pathways toward housing stability and self-sufficiency for individuals experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness.

The agreement was originally scheduled to expire on February 20, 2026. On February 17, 2026, the City Council considered a staff recommendation to extend the Agreement for an additional one-year term. Following discussion regarding the program, the City Council approved a 120-day extension to allow additional time before determining the future of the

program.

During the extension period, the Working Hands crew continued performing the street cleanup and community beautification activities required under the Agreement. June 17, 2026, was the final day the crew was deployed in the community performing these contracted field activities.

The matter is now returning to the City Council for direction regarding whether the City should continue the Working Hands Workforce Development Program or discontinue the program.

DISCUSSION:

The Working Hands Workforce Development Program was established to provide individuals experiencing homelessness with temporary employment experience and income while connecting participants with services intended to support longer-term employment and housing stability. The program includes employment stabilization, housing identification, financial literacy, case management, housing navigation, and other supportive services.

The program also includes a community beautification component. Working Hands participants performed cleanup activities in designated public areas throughout the City, including collecting trash and debris and performing other cleanup and beautification duties.

The City Council has previously received information and discussed the program, including its implementation, participant outcomes, expenditures, and community beautification activities. The purpose of this item is not to repeat the prior review, but to provide the City Council with the current status of the program and obtain direction regarding its future.

As previously reported, the program enrolled 21 participants, with 11 participants housed and 7 participants employed. Program expenditures totaled $322,081.57, leaving a remaining PLHA balance of $202,577.10.

The Working Hands crew continued performing contracted street cleanup and beautification activities during the 120-day extension through June 17, 2026. The City Council is now being asked to determine whether the Working Hands Workforce Development Program should continue or be discontinued.

If Council directs continuation of the program, staff will proceed with the actions necessary to continue program implementation, subject to Council direction and applicable PLHA requirements. If Council directs that the program be discontinued, staff will proceed with the appropriate closeout actions and address the remaining PLHA funds in accordance with the applicable program requirements.

CONCLUSION:

The Working Hands Workforce Development Program has been previously presented to and discussed by the City Council. Following the 120-day extension approved on February 17, 2026, the Working Hands crew continued performing contracted street cleanup and community beautification activities through June 17, 2026.

The item is being presented to the City Council to provide the current status of the program

and obtain direction regarding its future. Staff requests that the City Council determine whether to continue or discontinue the Working Hands Workforce Development Program.
