Water Vision Santa Barbara and
2020 UWMP
City of Santa Barbara, CA
WSC developed a roadmap for the City’s current and future supply portfolio to secure water supplies in the face of climate change. This includes the role of desalination and integrating groundwater storage programs to increase reliability. The City’s current water supply portfolio is one of the most diverse in California. WSC conducted an integrated evaluation of optimized supply portfolios involving all the City’s water. As part of the project, WSC completed the City’s 2020 UWMP and
seamlessly integrated it with the rest of the project and the City’s Water Conservation Strategic Plan. WSC’s expanded evaluation and alternative process incorporated risks and future uncertainties into the evaluation. Risks and uncertainties were used in multiple steps throughout the planning process, including the development of alternatives, developing risk scores for the alternatives, and developing resilience scenarios to test the top alternatives. The adaptive planning tool was designed to be updated by the City as uncertainties such as demand projections, SWP projections, and sustainable groundwater yield become better defined. The potential portfolios can be reevaluated with updated conditions and changing City priorities for reliability or resiliency. WSC worked closely with the City to facilitate a comprehensive stakeholder engagement process to support community aligned water planning decisions.

2020 UWMP and Metro Plan
City of Fresno, CA
WSC partnered with the City of Fresno to update their
Metropolitan Water Resources Management Plan (Metro
Plan), providing a road map for the City's water supplies, water infrastructure, and sustainable growth through 2070. The 2020 Metro Plan also included a 2020 UWMP. The City’s
investment in a surface water treatment plant combined with SGMA implementation allowed the City to reduce its reliance on groundwater supplies. The UWMP was also the first evaluation of long-term demand projections after implementation of water meters and AMI data collection. WSC developed a multi-scenario demand model based on population, employment, and land use projections and evaluated approaches to comply with proposed Conservation Regulations.
The Metro Plan documented the City’s existing water assets – supplies, infrastructure, and rights – to evaluate multiple future supply and demand scenarios that considered a variety of assumptions about conservation, pace of growth, surface water availability, climate change impacts, and groundwater management actions. WSC provided the evaluation tools
developed for the Metro Plan to the City for use in the future as conditions and assumptions change. The tools include a Groundwater Water Budget and Supply / Demand Scenario Tool.
Existing supply optimization and new supplies required creative partnerships and identifying mutually beneficial projects.

SUBJECT: Resolution No. 11417 – A Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Three-Year Agreement with the County of Sacramento for $177,646.98 to Provide Emergency Hazardous Materials Response Team Services from the General Fund (Fund 010)
FROM: Fire Department
RECOMMENDATION / CITY COUNCIL ACTION
The Fire Department recommends that the City Council pass and a pprove Resolution No. 11417 – A Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Three-Year Agreement with the County of Sacramento for $177,646.98 to Provide Emergency Hazardous Materials Response Team Services from the General Fund (Fund 010).
BACKGROUND / ISSUE
Hazardous materials are present throughout the City and, if released or uncontrolled, can pose significant fire, health, and environmental risks. While many incidents are minor and handled by City first responders, more complex situations require specialized expertise. In such cases, the City may request assistance from one or more Hazardous Materials Response Teams (HMRT) located within Sacramento County to help identify unknown substances and contain the release.
The Sacramento County Environmental Management Department (SCEMD) provides administrative oversight of the County’s HMRT program. Because HMRT operations involve advanced training and specialized equipment beyond the City's current capabilities, this agreement enables the City to request assistance from any of the three HMRT units operated
07/08/2025 Item No.7.
2 by the Sacramento Fire Department and Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District. The City of Folsom has maintained this service agreement with SCEMD since 2001.
POLICY / RULE
Folsom Municipal Code – 2.36.120 Contracting for Professional Services. Professional services, as defined in Section 2.36.030, costing $ 75,049 or greater shall be contracted for by the City Council.
ANALYSIS
The City of Folsom is exposed to a wide range of hazardous material risks related to transportation, manufacturing, storage, and use. These incidents have the potential to result in the release of hazardous substances that could threaten public safety, he alth, and the environment. Within Folsom’s incorporated boundaries, the City serves as the lead agency for pre-incident planning, emergency response, and hazardous materials clean-up.
Pursuant to Folsom Municipal Code §2.24.010, the Fire Department is de signated as the lead department for managing hazardous materials incidents that may adversely affect lives or property. The Police Department and the Public Works Street Division often support these responses, along with the Sacramento County Emergency Ma nagement Department (SCEMD), which assists in the control and management of both intentional and unintentional hazardous material releases.
The ability of the on -duty Fire Department Incident Commander to request a Hazardous Materials Response Team (HMRT) is critical for the effective and timely mitigation of hazardous incidents. Each year, the Fire Department responds to approximately 170 hazardous materials emergencies. Over the past three years, about 90% of these incidents were classified as Level 1 (Minor Hazard) and were resolved using only local resources. Fewer than 10% were Level 2 (Moderate Hazard) incidents, which required a single HMRT unit to assist in identifying unknown chemicals or stopping the release of hazardous substances. No Level 3 (Severe Hazard) incidents requiring multiple HMRT units have occurred in the past three years.
Even when an HMRT response is not requested, these specialized units are often consulted remotely by Folsom Fire personnel for expert guidance on chemical identi fication, risk assessment, and mitigation strategies. This consultation capability is a critical resource that enhances the department’s ability to manage hazardous materials incidents effectively using a measured, risk-based approach.
The proposed agreement with SCEMD would ensure continued access to HMRT resources for both on-scene response and remote consultation related to Level 2 and Level 3 incidents. While the City of Sacramento, the Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District, and the City of Folsom are all signatories to the Sacramento County Fire Agency Automatic Aid Agreement, HMRT units
07/08/2025 Item No.7.
3 are classified as "Specialized Agency Resources" under that agreement and are not covered by its automatic aid provisions.
A copy of the proposed agreement is provided in Attachment No. 2.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The total cost of the three -year contract for Hazardous Materials Response Team (HMRT) services provided to the City of Folsom by the County of Sacramento is approximately $177,646.98. The annual contribution is calculated using a population-based formula applied to all incorporated areas of the County , excluding the City of Sacramento , as well as unincorporated areas.
Annual costs are as follows:
FY 2025-26 $58,886.63
FY 2026-27 $58,502.63
FY 2027-28 $60,257.72
This Agreement is scheduled to begin on July 1, 2025, and will remain in effect through June 30, 2028, unless mutually extended in writing by both the City of Folsom and Sacramento County for up to one additional two-year period.
If extended, the estimated contributions for the optional years are:
*FY 2028-29 $64,347.01
*FY 2029-30 $63,927.42
* These extension-year amounts will only apply if both parties formally agree in writing to extend the agreement under the same terms and conditions outlined in the attached Agreement.
Sufficient funds are budgeted and available for Fiscal Year 2025-26 in the General Fund (Fund 010). Future year contract amounts will be included as part of the annual budget process. As the Agreement allows either party to terminate with 180 days’ written notice, future year contributions are not guaranteed. Payments will be made in two equal installments each year— one in November and one in April.
Where possible, the City will pursu e cost recovery from individuals or entities found responsible for hazardous materials releases, which may help offset a portion of the annual costs.

SUBJECT: Resolution No. 11418 – A Resolution of the City Council Approving Submittal of Response to the Findings and
Recommendations of the Sacramento County Grand Jury
Regarding Elder Financial Crimes
FROM: Police Department
RECOMMENDATION / CITY COUNCIL ACTION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 11418 - A Resolution of the City Council Approving Submittal of Response to the Findings and Recommendations of the Sacramento County Grand Jury Regarding Elder Financial Crimes.
BACKGROUND / ISSUE
Among other investigations undertaken by the 2025-2025 Sacramento County Grand Jury across the county, the Grand Jury investigated financial abuse of elder victims and law enforcement's response to the problem and made various findings and recommendations. While the Grand Jury did not interview the Folsom Police Department in making its report, it required a response from the Folsom City Council and requested a response from the Folsom Police Chief with respect to certain findings and recommendations in the report.
Elder Financial Abuse is when the property of a person age 65 or older is taken or used wrongfully, including fraudulently. Internet and phone scams targeting seniors, as well as theft by family members and caregivers fall into this category.
Police staff prepared a proposed response to address the Grand Jury's findings and recommendations regarding elder financial abuse in Sacramento County.
07/08/2025 Item No.8.
2 POLICY / RULE
Pursuant to California Penal Code section 933, the governing body of any public agency subject to the grand jury's reviewing authority shall comment to the presiding judge of the superior court on the findings and recommendations pertaining to matters under the control of the governing body.
ANALYSIS
The Grand Jury's findings and recommendations are general and address areas of concern across the county. The Folsom Police Department’s response to those findings and recommendations focuses on our local response to elder financial abuse. In many cases, the generalized statements do not consider the dynamics of Folsom or the training and practices the Police Departments uses in preventing and addressing Elder Financial Abuse.
The Resolution would approve submittal of the proposed response to the Grand Jury's findings and recommendations regarding elder financial abuse in Sacramento County.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There will be no direct financial impact by the adoption of this Resolution.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The proposed response to the Grand Jury report is not a “project” under the California Environmental Quality Act. No environmental review is required.

WHEREAS, Penal Code Section 933 requires that comments from the public agency pertaining to matters under the control of its governing body be submitted by the governing body of the public agency.

SUBJECT: Resolution No. 11419 - A Resolution Amending Resolution No. 11377 – A Resolution Adopting a list of Projects for Fiscal Year 2025-26 to be Funded by Senate Bill 1: The Road Repair and Accountability Act to include Project Details
FROM: Public Works Department
RECOMMENDATION / CITY COUNCIL ACTION
The Public Works Department recommends that the City Council pass and adopt Resolution No. 11419 - A Resolution Amending Resolution No. 11377 – A Resolution Adopting a list of Projects for Fiscal year 2025 -26 to be Funded by Senate Bill 1: The Road Repair and Accountability Act to include Project Details.
BACKGROUND / ISSUE
On May 27, 2025, City Council approved Resolution No. 11377, adopting a list of projects for Fiscal Year 2025 –26 to be funded by Senate Bill 1 (SB -1): The Road Repair and Accountability Act. The Fiscal Year 2025 –26 SB -1 funds will be allocated to support infrastructure project s aimed at enhancing transportation and pedestrian safety, roadway maintenance, and overall operational efficiency. However, staff inadvertently omitted the specific project locations from the adopted resolution.
While the list of projects remains unchan ged from the original adoption of Resolution No. 11377, an amendment is now necessary to include the full project details and locations in the resolution to ensure compliance with California Transportation Commission (CTC) requirements and maintain transparency in the use of SB-1 funds.
07/08/2025 Item No.9.
2 The projects proposed to utilize this funding are as follows:
Project Title: Citywide ADA Compliance Project FY 2025-26 FY25-26 SB-1 Funding: $725,000
Schedule: FY 2025-26
Useful Life: 50 years
Description: A project that includes an annual rotation of sidewalk inspections and repairs, with one council district receiving attention each year. This ensures a systematic and ongoing effort to improve accessibility across the city for people with disabilities and to mitigat e sidewalk uplifts and damage. These funds will be used to inspect Council District 1 and make required repairs. A portion of the funds will be utilized to address the remaining significant findings within Council District 4, which was inspected and partially repaired in FY 24-25.
Project Title: Street Overlay/Pavement Management Project FY25-26 SB-1 Funding: $1,575,000
Schedule: FY 2025-26
Useful Life: 25 years
Description: This project is currently in the scoping phase. The neighborhoods listed below are being considered for analysis, contingent upon the available budget and pavement maintenance treatment selected : Rancho Diablo (Hancock Drive Neighborhood), Willow Creek Estates (Willow Creek Drive and Flower Drive Neighborhood) , and Willow Creek Estates East (Bittercreek Drive and Big Valley Road Neighborhood).
POLICY / RULE
To receive SB -1 funds, local agencies are required by the CTC to annually submit a list of projects that may be constructed and funded with R oad Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account funds, and the list must be part of an approved Resolution. The list of projects allows the City to scope the Capital Improvements to meet the available funding.
ANALYSIS
Staff inadvertently omitted the specific project locations from the previous ly adopted Resolution. The list of projects must include a description and the location of each proposed project, a proposed schedule for the project’s completion, and the estimated useful life of the improvement.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account revenue for Fiscal Year 2025-26 is estimated to be $2.3 million. Adopting this list of eligible projects authorizes staff to use the Fiscal Year 2025-26 funding for the projects on the list.

AGENDA SECTION:
Consent Calendar
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 11420 - A Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute Amendment No. 2 to the Agreement (Contract No. 173- 21 23 -017) with Water Works Engineers, LLC for Design and Engineering Services During Construction for $125,172 from the Water Operating Fund (Fund 520) and the Sewer Operating Fund (Fund 530) for the Basin 4 Phase 2 Sewer Rehabilitation Project (WW2302) and the Water System Rehabilitation Project No. 4 (WA2403)
FROM: Environmental and Water Resources Department
RECOMMENDATION / CITY COUNCIL ACTION
The Environmental and Water Resources Department recommends the City Council pass and adopt Resolution No. 11420 - A Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute Amendment No. 2 to the Agreement (Contract No. 173 -21 23-017) with Water Works Engineers, LLC for Design and Engineering Services During Construction for $125,172 from the Water Operating Fund (Fund 520) and the Sewer Operating Fund (Fund 530) for the Basin 4 Phase 2 Sewer Rehabilitation Project (WW2302) and the Water System Rehabilitation Project No. 4 (WA2403).
BACKGROUND / ISSUE
The Environmental and Water Resources (EWR) Department identifies sewer infrastructure rehabilitation and replacement projects through sewer master plans and ongoing sewer condition assessment programs. As a condition of the City’s State permit for its wastew ater collection system, the EWR Department is required to perform ongoing condition assessments on the wastewater system and correct any defects/deficiencies identified through this process. Through these efforts, EWR staff identified the Basin 4 Phase 2 Sewer Rehabilitation Project as a priority project.
The Basin 4 Phase 2 Sewer Rehabilitation Project consists of rehabilitating and replacing approximately 8,145 lineal feet of sanitary sewer pipeline, approximately 37 manholes, and the reconnection of ap proximately 132 sanitary sewer laterals along multiple streets within the
07/08/2025 Item No.10.
2 Historic District including Leidesdorff Street, Canal Street, Sutter Street and Figueroa Street Alley, Figueroa Street, Figueroa Street and Mormon Street Alley, Mormon Street and Nat oma Street Alley, and Persifer Street and Dean Way Alley . This Project was originally approved by City Council on April 11, 2023, through Resolution No. 11020.
The existing sewer mainline on Leidesdorff Street is currently located in residential front ya rds with limited access. The goal of the Basin 4 Phase 2 Sewer Rehabilitation Project is to relocate the sewer mainline within the roadway of Leidesdorff Street to allow for better access for maintenance, repair, and condition assessment.
During design, City staff and the design team identified a potential alignment conflict between an existing storm drain line and the proposed alignment of the new sewer line in the street as opposed to the front yards. In discussions with the Public Works Department and the design team, the most favorable option is to relocate the existing storm drain line. This would allow the City to move the sewer line from the front yards into the street as well as upgrade existing storm drain infrastructure that is approximately 40 years old. The other options include replacing the sewer line in the front yards or trying to lower hundreds of feet of sewer line in other areas, both of which are not ideal.
Additional effort was also identified as part of Amendment No. 2 for bid phase s ervices, construction phase services , environmental services and separating items within the project documents for bidding purposes in order to differentiate all construction tasks by project fund since this project is funded by both the Water Operating Fu nd (Fund 520) and Sewer Operating Fund (Fund 530).
This resolution will authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 2 to the Agreement (Contract No. 173 -21 23 -017) with Water Works Engineers, LLC for design and engineering services during construction for the Basin 4 Phase 2 Sewer Rehabilitation Pr oject and the Water System Rehabilitation Project No. 4 for a new not -to-exceed amount of $ 80,238 for the Basin 4 Phase 2 Sewer Rehabilitation Project and a new not -to-exceed amount of $ 44,934 for the Water System Rehabilitation Project No. 4.
POLICY / RULE
In accordance with Chapter 2.36 of the Folsom Municipal Code, supplies, equipment, services, and construction with a value of $75,049 or greater shall be awarded by City Council.
ANALYSIS
Services recommended to be provided by Water Works Engineers, LLC include both design and construction administration services for the Basin 4 Phase 2 Sewer Rehabilitation Project and the Water System Rehabilitation Project No. 4. The following describes the additional engineering services that Water Works Engineers, LLC will be performing:
- Basin 4 Phase 2 Sewer Rehabilitation Project:
07/08/2025 Item No.10.
3 o Separating items within the project documents for bidding purposes in order to differentiate all construction tasks by project fund since this project is funded by both the Water Operating Fund (Fund 520) and Sewer Operating Fund (Fund 530).
o New storm drain design work (including generating storm drain plan and profile sheets) in order to avoid utility conflict and maintain proposed sewer alignment.
o Additional environmental work due to storm drain design.
o Additional bid phase services such as meetings, issuing addendums and adding 2 conformed bid drawing sheets.
o Additional construction phase services such as RFI’s, submittal review, design changes during construction, and project coordination.
- Water System Rehabilitation Project No. 4:
o Separating items within the project documents for bidding purposes in order to differentiate all construction tasks by project fund since this project is funded by both the Water Operating Fund (Fund 520) and Sewer Operating Fund (Fund 530).
o Additional bid phase services such as meetings, issuing addendums and adding 2 conformed bid drawing sheets.
o Additional construction phase services such as RFI’s, submittal review, design changes during construction, and project coordination.
This resolution will authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 2 to the Agreement (Contract No. 173 -21 23 -017) with Water Works Engineers, LLC for design and engineering services during construction for the Basin 4 Phase 2 Sewer Rehabilitation Pr oject and the Water System Rehabilitation Project No. 4 for a new not -to-exceed amount of $80,238 for the Basin 4 Phase 2 Sewer Rehabilitation Project and a new not -to-exceed amount of $44,934 for the Water System Rehabilitation Project No. 4.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
In May 2023, the City executed an agreement with Water Works Engineers, LLC for Design and Engineering Services During Construction for the Basin 4 Phase 2 Sewer Rehabilitation Project for a total amount not to exceed $ 280,438. Amendment No. 1 to th e agreement was executed in April 2024, adding $90,855 in Design and Engineering Services During Construction for the Basin 4 Phase 2 Sewer Rehabilitation Project (Project WW2302) and $62,385 to the Water System Rehabilitation Project No. 4 (Project WA2403) and increasing the total compensation by $153,240 for a new not-to-exceed contract total of $433,678.
07/08/2025 Item No.10.
4 The Environmental and Water Resources Department is requesting that Amendment No. 2 for design and engineering services during construction be exe cuted with Water Works Engineers, LLC for $125,172 for a new contract total amount not-to-exceed $558,850.
$80,238 of the amendment total is requested for additional design phase services, assistance during bidding and additional engineering services during construction for the Basin 4 Phase 2 Sewer Rehabilitation Project (WW2302). This Project is included in the Capital Improvement Plan with a Fiscal Year 2025 -26 total project budget of $ 4,630,598. Sufficient funds are budgeted an d available in the Sewer Operating Fund (Fund 530) for the cost of the amendment.
$44,934 of the amendment total is requested for additional design phase services, assistance during bidding and additional engineering services during construction for the W ater System Rehabilitation Project No. 4 (WA2403). This Project is included in the Capital Improvement Plan with a Fiscal Year 2025-26 total project budget of $1,359,385. Sufficient funds are budgeted and available in the Water Operating Fund (Fund 520) for the cost of the amendment.
The EWR Department recommends approving Amendment No. 2 to the agreement with Water Works Engineers, LLC for $80,238 for the Basin 4 Phase 2 Sewer Rehabilitation Project (WW2302) and $44,934 for the Water System Rehabilitation Project No. 4 (WA2403) for a total amendment amount of $125,172 and a new contract total amount not -to-exceed $558,850. This new not -to-exceed contract amount of $558,850 for design and engineering services during construction represents approximately 9% of the total combined p roject cost ($5,989,983) for Fiscal Year 2025-26. Since the storm drain line relocation is a result of the work on the water and sewer lines, the costs (including design and construction) related to the storm drain line will be allocated to the water or sewer funds.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This project is replacement and/or improvement of existing infrastructure with negligible or no expansion of use and therefore is categorically exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act as noted in Title 14 – California Code of Regula tions, Chapter 3 – Guidelines for Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act, Article 19 – Categorical Exemptions, Sections 15301 (Existing Facilities), 15302 (Replacement or Reconstruction), and/or 15304 (Minor Alterations to Land).

SUBJECT: Resolution No. 11421 – A Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute an Agreement with Kimley Horn and
Associates, Inc. for Design Consulting Services for $242,580 from the Light Rail Impact Fee Fund (Fund 451) for the Traffic Signal Timing and Logic Statements for Light Rail Preemption Project, Project No. 8084, and Appropriation of Funds
FROM: Public Works Department
RECOMMENDATION / CITY COUNCIL ACTION
The Public Works Department recommends that the City Council pass and adopt Resolution No. 11421 – A Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute an Agreement with Kimley Horn and Associates, Inc. for Design Consulting Services for $242,580 from the Light Rail Impact Fee Fund (Fund 451) for the Traffic Signal Timing and Logic Statements for Light Rail Preemption Project, Project No. 8084, and Appropriation of Funds.
BACKGROUND / ISSUE
Folsom Boulevard serves as a key north-south arterial route within the City of Folsom. Multiple intersections along this corridor are equipped with traffic signals that are regularly affected by light rail preemption due to the Sacramento Regional Transit (SacRT) Gold Line that runs parallel to the roadway. These preemption events disrupt signal timing coordination along the corridor, contributing to increased vehicular delay and reduced operational efficiency.
To address these issues, the City issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) to secure qualifie d traffic engineering services aimed at improving traffic signal coordination and functionality along Folsom Boulevard from Iron Point Road to Natoma Street. The project’s objectives include reviewing existing timing plans, developing updated signal coordi nation strategies, and preparing logic statements that define signal controller behavior under preemption events. The consultant will also
07/08/2025 Item No.11.
2 conduct simulation modeling to evaluate proposed changes, assist with field implementation, and deliver final documentation including timing sheets, logic diagrams, and performance evaluations.
POLICY / RULE
This project aligns with the City’s goals to improve traffic efficiency, reduce vehicle delay, and enhance multimodal coordination. The updates are consistent with the City’s adopted traffic engineering practices and support regional transportation strategies that promote effective integration of vehicular and transit operations , and the City’s General Plan Policy M4.1.3 which states that “the City will prioritize u se of smart technologies and innovative solutions, including roundabouts, that maximize efficiencies and safety.”
ANALYSIS
On March 19, 2025, Public Works staff prepared and released a Request for Proposal (RFP) from firms pre-selected on the City’s Engineering list. Two proposals were received in response to the RFP. A review panel consisting of City engineering staff separately evaluated and scored the received proposals based on criteria including relevant experience, qualifications of the proposed team, understanding of the project scope, and approach to the work. The methods of analysis are consistent with Chapter 10 of the Caltrans Local Assistance Project Manual requirements for consultant selection.
Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. received the highest overall score. Their proposal demonstrated superior qualifications in signal timing optimization, extensive experience with light rail preemption strategies, and a well -rounded team with strong technical expertise and past performance on similar projects. As a result, staff recommends awarding the contract to Kimley - Horn and Associates, Inc.
In accordance with California Public Contract Code § 4526, which mandates a qualifications-based selection process for professional services such as engineering and construction management, the City is prohibited from opening or considering sealed cost proposals during the evaluation phase, except for the firm ranked highest based on qualifications. Although Interwest Consulting Group voluntarily included their c ost proposal in their submittal, the City did not request, open, or evaluate this information while assessing qualifications, in full compliance with state law. Only after Kimley -Horn was identified as the top -ranked proposer was cost considered during negotiations. For transparency, it is noted that Interwest’s proposed fee of $210,000 is approximately 13.4% lower than Kimley-Horn’s; however, cost played no role in the qualifications evaluation or ranking process.

City of Folsom Traffic Signal Timing Updates and Lo gic Statements for Light Rail Preemption Revised Scope of Work
Kimley-Horn 2
Kimley-Horn will collect weekday, peak-period inter section turning movement counts (vehicles, bicycles , and pedestrians) at the seven (7) signalized intersecti ons along Folsom Boulevard between Iron Point Road and Natoma Street. The counts will be conducted on a ty pical weekday (Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday when local schools are in session) between the hours of 7-9 AM, 2-4 PM, and 4-6 PM.
Kimley-Horn will complete a site visit of the proje ct corridor to observe existing operations and lane configuration, vehicle storage lengths, existing tr affic control, speed limits, lane utilization, adja cent land uses, and other readily apparent features for the study f acilities that are deemed by Kimley-Horn to be rele vant to the scope of services. We will review existing traffic signal operations and light rail preemption, includ ing existing traffic signal logic operation (i.e., detection, ra il preemption, blank-out sign, overlaps). This site visit will be coordinated with City staff and SacRT.
Task 2: Traffic Signal Timing Updates
Kimley-Horn will analyze traffic signal and rail sy stem operations and develop recommendations for sig nal operational strategies to improve traffic flow and corridor progression while effectively managing lig ht rail preemption and maintaining safe and efficient inter section operations for all users. These operational enhancements may include modifications to signal co ordination plans corridor-wide, signal phasing duri ng rail preemption, preemption logic operation, time-out/ca ncel preemption functions, and other controller programming. Recommendations will address the integ ration of light rail operations with signal coordin ation plans, and may include adjustments to cycle lengths , splits, offsets, and transition strategies to mai ntain progression for vehicular traffic along Folsom Boul evard.
Kimley-Horn will provide marked up signal timing sh eets documenting recommended modifications as part of our deliverable for Task 4.
Task 3: Signage and Safety Assessment
Based on field observations during the site visit ( Task 1), Kimley-Horn will conduct a review of exist ing traffic control devices (including traffic signal infrastru cture and signing and striping) and safety assessme nt at the seven project intersections. This includes review a nd assessment of CA MUTCD compliant signing and str iping in development of intersection improvements to enha nce multi-modal safety.
We will review crash data along the project corrido r from the recently completed City of Folsom Local Road Safety Plan (LRSP), previously developed by Kimley- Horn. This assessment will include review of crash types, crash patterns, primary collision factors, severity levels, pedestrian or bicyclist involvement, and o ther information to inform recommended safety countermea sures and intersection improvements. This assessmen t will also include identification of geometric or vi sibility issues that may contribute to crash risk or present conflicts for vehicles, pedestrians, bicyclists, an d light rail operations.
Efforts completed in this task will be documented i n a technical memorandum format with graphics as de emed appropriate by Kimley-Horn. We will prepare and sub mit an electronic (PDF) version of the Draft Safety Assessment Memorandum to the City. Kimley-Horn will respond to a single set of consolidated, non-confl icting, and reasonable comments from the City on the Draft Memorandum. We will prepare and submit an electroni c (PDF) version of the Final Safety Assessment Memora ndum to the City.

Task 3 Deliverables:
• Safety Assessment Memorandum (Draft and Final)
Task 4: Logic Statement Development
Kimley-Horn will evaluate the current corridor’s ra ilroad preemption operation to determine where dela ys and queues are increasing while the signal is in active railroad preemption. Kimley-Horn will consider usi ng the controller features provided by the Econolite’s EOS controller firmware, including utilizing peer-to-p eer through Ethernet communication and the City’s Centracs Cent ral Traffic Management System and the development o f logic statements with the local traffic controller. Kimley-Horn will evaluate railroad preemption oper ation for each intersection and consider the following to imp rove traffic signal operations before, during, and after railroad preemption operations:
• Implement queue cutter detection by programming add itional video detection zones via Iteris’s Vantage Vector Video Detection System.
o Queue cutter detection can be utilized to shorten a phase at its current intersection or an adjacent intersection through logic development and peer-to-peer communication. • Send an advance preemption input from an adjacent s ignal through peer-to-peer communication to clear the left-turn and side street queue prior to the arrival of the light rail. • Develop logic statements and modify railroad preemp tion settings to exit preemption operation more efficiently and return the signal and corridor back into step more efficiently. • Implement Cascade logic wherein the system detects approaching LRT and adjusts traffic signal timing offsets at downstream signals to maintain coordinat ion.
We will document recommended preemption logic and c ontroller programming adjustments in marked-up traffic signal as-built plans and timing sheets for each of the project intersections.
This scope of services does not include development of construction documents or specifications for infrastructure improvements.
Task 4 Deliverables:
• Signal timing sheet markups
• Signal as-built plan markups
Task 5: Simulation and Analysis
This task includes focused technical analyses to es tablish existing conditions and identify recommende d signal timing changes (with implementation of operational strategies and preemption logic). Kimley-Horn will complete a focused weekday AM and PM peak-hour intersection operations analysis including up to seven signalize d intersections. These analyses will include delay, L evel of Service (LOS), and queuing for the followin g scenarios:
• Existing (2025) Conditions
• Existing (2025) plus Proposed Project Conditions+
+ “Proposed Project” refers to the inclusion of th e operational strategies and preemption logic to be determined in Tasks 2 and 4, respectively.
Kimley-Horn will analyze the impacts of the propose d signal timing changes on corridor and intersectio n performance. Delay and LOS will be determined using methods defined in the Highway Capacity Manual, us ing

SUBJECT: Resolution No. 11422 - A Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute an Agreement with Water Works Engineers, LLC for Pre-Design Services for $161,160 from the Sewer Operating Fund (Fund 530) for the Oak Avenue Lift Station and Force Main Project (WW2601)
FROM: Environmental and Water Resources Department
RECOMMENDATION / CITY COUNCIL ACTION
The Environmental and Water Resources Department recommends the City Council pass and adopt Resolution No. 11422 - A Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute an Agreement with Water Works Engineers, LLC for Pre-Design Services for $161,160 from the Sewer Operating Fund (Fund 530) for the Oak Avenue Lift Station and Force Main Project (WW2601).
BACKGROUND / ISSUE
The Environmental and Water Resources (EWR) Department identifies sewer infrastructure rehabilitation and replacement projects through sewer master plans and ongoing sewer condition assessment programs. As part of the City’s Sewer System Management Plan fo r its wastewater collection system, the EWR Department performs ongoing condition assessments on the wastewater system and corrects any defects/deficiencies identified through this process. Through these efforts, City staff identified the Oak Avenue Lift Station and Force Main Project as needing improvements.
Currently, the Oak Avenue Parkway Sewer Lift Station has had several mechanical, electrical, and operational performance issues. Additionally, the existing 18-inch force main has failed twice due to longitudinal cracking caused by poor pipe bedding conditions during the original installation in 2002, resulting in costly emergency repairs and sanitary sewer spills in a high traffic area of the City.
07/08/2025 Item No.12.
2 In January 2025, the EWR Department completed the design and construction administration pre- qualification process and shortlisted ten engineering firms to provide on-call design and construction administration services. On March 21, 2025, the City issued a request for proposal for pre-design services for the Oak Avenue Lift Station and Force Main Project to all ten shortlisted on-call engineering firms. Of the ten firms, five firms chose to submit proposals to the City.
The pre-design report will serve as the basis for the future design effort of t he development of plans and specifications for the Oak Avenue Lift Station and Force Main Project. The pre-design approach is broken into the following components:
Oak Avenue Lift Station Site Analysis
Oak Avenue Force Main Alignment Alternatives
Project Management
Review Available Information and Perform Site Investigation Geotechnical Desktop Study
Preliminary Survey
Preliminary Environmental Constraints
Utility Coordination “A” Letters
Pre-Design Alternatives Analysis and Workshop
Pre-Design Report
Schedule
This resolution will authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with Water Works Engineers, LLC for Pre-Design Services for the Oak Avenue Lift Station and Force Main Project.
POLICY / RULE
In accordance with Chapter 2.36 of the Folsom Municipal Code, supplies, equipment, services, and construction with a value of $75,049 or greater shall be awarded by City Council.
ANALYSIS
On March 21, 2025, the City issued a request for proposals for the Pre-Design Services for the Oak Avenue Lift Station and Force Main Project. On May 14, 2025, EWR received five proposals from Domenichelli & Associates, Inc., HDR Engineering, Inc. , HydroScience Engineers, Inc. , Verdantas Inc. and Water Works Engineers, LLC.
The five proposals were evaluated by five EWR staff members for technical evaluation prior to reviewing project costs. The proposals were reviewed and scored for project understanding, qualifications, deliverables, and project team staffing. The technical evaluation scores are shown in Table 1.

Table 2: Consultant Project Costs and Project Hours
*Corrected cost due to math errors in Proposal
Water Works Engineers, LLC was determined to provide the best value to the City based on the scope of work provided in their proposal, the project team, their expertise for these types of projects, the total fee amount and overall cost based on the assumed number of hours proposed to complete the work. Although Verdantas Inc. has the lowest project cost, the Water Works Engineers project team provided more experience and qualifications relevant to the type of work necessary for this project. Given the complexity of the location of this pump station and the force main, the experience and qualifications is critical in developing the best alternative to move forward with for the design. Staff also believes that the alternatives analysis for the pump station site and proposed pipeline alignment will require more hours than provided by Verdantas . When compared to the other proposals, the number of hours for the alternatives analysis provided by Verdantas was approximately 254 hours less. Table 3 shows the overall total scores including project costs based on a maximum score of 100.

SUBJECT: Resolution No. 11426 - A Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute Construction Change Order No. 1 with Consolidated Engineering, Inc. (Contract 174 -21 25 -010) for the Pavement Repair and Resurfacing Project FY 24-25, Project No. 8017, in the amount of $ 588,232 from the SB1 Road Maintenance and
Rehabilitation Fund (Fund 235)
FROM: Public Works Department
RECOMMENDATION / CITY COUNCIL ACTION
The Public Works Department recommends that the City Council pass and adopt Resolution No. 11426 - A Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute Construction Change Order No. 1 with Consolidated Engineering, Inc. (Contract 174 -21 25-010) for the Pavement Repair and Resurfacing Project FY 24-25, Project No. 8017, in the amount of $ 588,232 from the SB1 Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Fund (Fund 235)
BACKGROUND / ISSUE
The Public Works Department manages the City of Folsom’s Street Overlay/Pavement Management Program, which is funded by annual allocations from both the SB1 Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Fund (Fund 235) and the Measure A Fund (Fund 276). A total of $2,000,000 was allocated to the program for Fiscal Year 2024-25.
In April 2025, the City Council approved Resolution No. 11361 - A Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Contract with Consolidated Engineering, Inc. for the Pavement Repair and Resurfacing Project FY 24-25 (Project No. 8017). The project is designed to utilize funds from the Street Overlay/Pavement Management Program to address the pavement repair and maintenance needs of the City.
07/08/2025 Item No.13.
2 The Engineer’s Estimate for the original bid was $1,900,000. In April 2025, the project was awarded to Consolidated Engineering, Inc. for a base bid amount of $1,408,999, with a total not - to-exceed amount of $1,549,898.90, which includes a ten percent contingency to accommodate potential change orders.
This change order will enable the inclusion of additional pavement repair and resurfacing work, specifically covering all remaining streets within the Briggs Ranch Neighborhood and the resurfacing of Stockman Circle. Consolidated Engineering, Inc. has agre ed to perform this additional work at the original unit bid prices, with an added cost solely for the extra traffic control measures required to support the expanded scope of work.
POLICY / RULE
Section 2.36.080, Award of Contracts of the Folsom Municipal Code states, in part, that contracts for supplies, equipment, services, and construction with an estimated value of $75,049 or greater shall be awarded by City Council.
ANALYSIS
The costs for the additional items of work are in line with the existing p roject unit prices and commonly expected costs for the various items of work being performed. City staff has reviewed all project changes and recommends approval of this project change order. The change order would be in the amount of $588,232.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The City Council approval of Resolution No. 11361 authorized the execution of the original contract with Consolidated Engineering, Inc. for $1,408,999.00, with the project budgeted for a total not to exceed amount of $1,549,898.90, which included a ten percent contingency for potential change orders. This Construction Change Order, if approved, will authorize an additional amount of $588,232.00 for a total not-to-exceed contract amount of $2,138,130.90. No additional contingency is being requested.
Because the pavement repair and resurfacing work identified in the change order is in addition to the work outlined in the original contract, staff recommends not using the ten percent contingency to fund the change order and rather keep the contingency a vailable for its intended use to cover unexpected costs due to unforeseen site conditions. There is $ 588,232 budgeted and available in the Street Overlay/Pavement Management Project, Project No. 8017, for Fiscal Year 202 5-26, utilizing the SB1 Road Maintena nce and Rehabilitation Fund (Fund 235) for this Construction Change Order.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This project has been deemed categorically exempt from environmental review.

SUBJECT: Resolution No. 11429- A Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute Amendment No. 3 to the Train Concession Agreement Between the City of Folsom and Truson V. Buegel and Stephanie Bea Roy to Extend the Agreement for an Additional Five Years
FROM: Parks and Recreation Department
RECOMMENDATION / CITY COUNCIL ACTION
Staff recommends the City Council approve Resolution No. 11429- A Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute Amendment No. 3 to the Train Concession Agreement Between the City of Folsom and Truson V. Buegel and Stephanie Bea Roy to Extend the Agreement for an Additional Five Years.
BACKGROUND / ISSUE
Folsom City Lions Park, located at 403 Stafford Street, has served as the site for the scale live- steam train railway since 1970. Terry and Geri Gold, dba Folsom Valley Railway, aka Golden Spike Entertainment, acquired the train concession from the previous owner in the early 1990s and had operated as the concessionaire since then. Golden Spike Entertainment owned and operated the complete railway, equipment, and structures apart from the boarding platform that is owned by the City.
In February 2008, staff conducted a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the Scale Live-Steam Train and Snack Bar Concessions. Terry and Geri Gold, dba Golden Spike Entertainment, submitted a proposal for both the Scale Live-Steam Train and Snack Bar Concessions, while the City of Folsom Zoo Sanctuary submitted a proposal for the Snack Bar Concession operations only.
07/08/2025 Item No.14.
2 Subsequently, at the October 27, 2009, City Council Meeting, the Council passed Resolution No. 8572 authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Train Concession Agreement with Golden Spike Entertainment at Folsom City Lions Park. The Snack Bar Concessions were awarded to the City of Folsom Zoo Sanctuary. The current agreement with Golden Spike Entertainment for the train operations expired on December 31, 2024.
In February 2024, staff requested direction from the City Council on the future of the steam train operations at Folsom City Lions Park. During the meeting, Terry Gold presented the City Council with information regarding potential buyers for the operation. During the discussion, the City Council expressed unanimous support for the continuation of train operations under new ownership.
Subsequently, Terry and Geri Gold met with all prospective buyers and identified Truson V.
Buegel and Stephanie Bea Roy as the chosen buyers. Mr. Buegel’s selection was based on his extensive expertise in steam train operations and maintenance and for his tenure operating trains at Disneyland Park.
On June 11, 2024, the City Council approved Resolution No. 11213 authorizing the City Manager to execute an assignment and assumption agreement for the continued operation of the train by Truson V. Buegel and Stephanie Bea Roy. The agreement was finalized with City signatures on December 9, 2024. The existing agreement assumed by Truson V. Buegel and Stephanie Bea Roy has one remaining five-year extension available.
POLICY / RULE
All powers of the City shall be vested in the City Council except as otherwise provided by the City Charter. Section 2.02 of the City Charter.
ANALYSIS
Truson V. Buegel and Stephaine Bea Roy have successfully operated the train for the last year.
Staff believe that an extension of the existing contract is in the best interest of the City and will ensure continued operation of the train for park and Zoo Sanctuary users. The total revenue over the five-year term is estimated at $132,945.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Year one revenue is estimated at $25,040 with a 3% escalator each year thereafter.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The recommended action of the City Council is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and therefore does not require environmental review.

BACKGROUND / ISSUE
The Mangini Ranch Trails Project is located within the Folsom Plan Area Specific Plan (FPA), specifically in the Mangini Ranch development area bounded by Alder Creek Parkway to the north, Savannah Parkway to the east, East Bidwell Street to the west, and White Rock Road to the south. The FPA includes over 30 miles of planned trails. Currently, there are approximately 10 miles of trails already constructed in the FPA. The project would construct approximately 2.5 miles of trails within the Mangini Ranch development area. The trail alignments through this new residential development were approved as part of the FPA and the Mangini Ranch development project approvals.
On September 14, 2021, City Council awarded a design contract ($180,239.50) to Kimley- Horn and Associates (KHA) for engineering and design services for the Mangini Ranch Trails project in the FPA. KHA prepared design development, engineering, construction documentation and project specifications for the construction bid of Mangini Ranch Trails.
As part of Folsom’s FY 2022-23 budget, the Mangini Ranch Trails project was allocated $2,200,000 for construction. Additionally in the FY 2024-25 budget, the project was allocated another $1,000,000, for a total approved project budget of $3,380,240 in the Folsom Plan Area Mangini Ranch Trails Project (Project PK2201).
On July 9, 2024, the City Council approved Contract Amendment #1 to the KHA contract in the amount of $31,734 to include two additional trail improvement areas in the design that
07/08/2025 Item No.15.
3 were outside of the original scope of services.
On November 12, 2024, the City Council approved Contract Amendment #2 to the KHA contract in the amount of $143,944.50 to conduct a Feasibility Study to determine the viability of an overcrossing or undercrossing in place of the proposed at grade crossing of East Bidwell Street.
POLICY / RULE
Section 2.36.080, Award of Contracts, of the Folsom Municipal Code states, in part, that contracts for supplies, equipment, services, and construction with an estimated value of $75,049 or greater shall be awarded by City Council.
ANALYSIS
Parks & Recreation Department staff prepared the construction bid package and solicited bids via the City website and www.publicpurchase.com. The project was issued for bids on May 1, 2025. A total of five bids were received on June 12, 2025.
The five base bids received are:
Consolidated Engineering, Inc. $2,774,608
Dutch Contracting, Inc. $2,940,563
JPB Design, Inc. $3,056,925
B&M Civil, LLC $3,549,135
Central Valley Engineering & Asphalt, Inc. $4,157,469
Staff reviewed the five submittals and found the bid from Consolidated Engineering to be the lowest responsive bid for the Mangini Ranch Trails Project. The Engineer’s Estimate for this project was $2,900,000. The Parks & Recreation Department found the bid and submittal by Consolidated Engineering to be in order and intended to recommend that the contract be awarded to the responsive low-bidder, Consolidated Engineering Inc. Before staff issued a Notice of Intent to Award, a bid protest was received.
In addition to the contracts with Consolidated Engineering Inc, KHA, and Pinnacle Project Management (PPM), staff also included $100,000 in soft costs to the construction budget (staff time, materials testing, environmental monitoring). Per the City Manager’s direction, staff was asked to charge time spent on the Project to Fund 472 – Folsom Plan Area Capital Fund, estimated to be approximately $50,000 for the entirety of construction. Materials testing, in the estimated amount of $24,500, was also included in the soft costs to cover any required field testing of materials during construction. In addition, the Project is required to comply with the Folsom Plan Area Specific Plan Mitigation and Monitoring Reporting Program (MMRP). To comply, staff contacted Helix Environmental Planning for an environmental monitoring scope of services and received a proposal in the amount of $25,500. All soft costs fall below the City Manager’s signing authority of $75,049 and would not need City Council approval but are being included here to help provide a complete disclosure of all anticipated costs for this Project.
07/08/2025 Item No.15.
4 Bid Protest
On June 17, 2025, staff received a bid protest from Dutch Contracting Inc. (Attachment 9).
In the email to staff, Dutch Contracting Inc stated the following:
1. As outlined in Section 2.07, the City is required to award the project to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder who demonstrates the requisite experience, financial stability, facilities, and management capabilities to execute the project successfully and on schedule. Dutch Contracting Inc. maintains that Consolidated Engineering Inc. does not meet these critical criteria.
2. Their previous contract—Willow Creek Bridge (bid date: February 8, 2024) for Amador County—was awarded at just under $2 million. Reports indicate that the contractor is significantly behind schedule, struggling to meet contractual requirements, and facing liquidated damages of $6,300 per calendar day.
Additionally, at least one subcontractor has sought and been granted contract relief due to mismanagement.
3. Based on our research, this project would be the largest undertaken by Consolidated Engineering Inc. to date.
4. To protect taxpayer interests, we urge the City to exercise due diligence under Section
2.07 and require the three lowest bidders to submit statements of experience and business standing and/or financial statements.
On June 19, 2025, Consolidated Engineering Inc. (CEI) submitted a bid protest response with supporting documentation (Attachment 10). The bid protest response includes the following:
1. "Based on our research, this project would be the largest undertaken by Consolidated Engineering Inc. to date." This is False, CEI's largest project to date is with the City of Pittsburg and the current contract amount to date is $3,825,342.25.
2. "Reports indicate that the contractor is significantly behind schedule, struggling to meet contractual requirements, and facing liquidated damages of $6,300 per calendar day." This is false, the project is behind schedule, but not due to CEI's lack of management. The project is now ahead of our original projected workday window and is expected to be complete by October 2025.
3. "Additionally, at least one subcontractor has sought and been granted contract relief due to mismanagement." This is false, the only subcontractor that has sought to be granted relief from their contract decided to close their business (Big B Construction).
4. CEI has been established for over 9 years in the heavy civil industry and exclusively in the public works sector for over 5 years. CEI has never had a bond claim in the history of the company. CEI can provide over 100 references for successfully completed projects in the past 5 years.
After receiving the bid protest response from Consolidated Engineering, staff reached out to Amador County to verify statements made in Dutch Contracting bid protest and Consolidated Engineering’s bid protest response. On Thursday June 19, 2025, staff spoke with Jeff Christman of Amador County about the Willow Creek Bridge project referenced in Dutch
07/08/2025 Item No.15.
5 Contracting Inc. bid protest. The following is a synopsis of our conversation:
Spoke with Jeff Christman from Amador County about the bridge project referenced in Dutch Contracting bid protest. Jeff stated that Amador County had no issues with Consolidated Engineering work on the Willow Creek Bridge Project. The reference in Dutch’s bid protest to the sub-contractor leaving was not 100% true. The sub (Big B Concrete) left the project because he was retiring and getting out of the construction business. Environmental permitting was the reason the project was shut down for the winter. The reference to liquidated damages is not true. Consolidated Engineering has a very good working relationship with Amador County. No issues with Consolidated Engineering work in previous projects in the County. The project was supposed to restart June 2nd, but there was a bird nesting in a culvert and water was still flowing in the creek. The project restarted on June 9th.
After reviewing the bid protest, bid protest response, and correspondence with Amador County, staff believe the bid protest lacks merit and recommends denial.
The Project will require construction design support from Kimley-Horn and Associates (KHA) and construction management services from Pinnacle Project Management (PPM).
During construction of the Mangini Ranch trails, the City is requesting continued design support from KHA. The existing KHA contract includes unused hours from Contract Amendment #2 that will be used for the project construction support services. Kimley-Horn and Associates will provide the Scope of Services on a labor fee plus expense basis.
Including the hours from Contract Amendment #2, the construction support services scope will be performed for the additional not to exceed amount of $29,640 (Attachment 7).
The City has selected Pinnacle Project Management (PPM) to perform construction management duties for the Mangini Ranch Trail project. The City of Folsom currently partners with PPM for construction management oversight within the Folsom Plan Area development. Pinnacle recently provided excellent construction management and City representation for the successful Phase 1 trails project, constructed by Toll Brothers in the Regency development. While industry standard construction management contract values typically range from 10% to 20% of the total construction cost, the City sought to maximize public funding and achieve significant economies of scale. We requested a scope and fee from PPM aligned with their current qualifications and the project's needs.
PPMs scope of services for the project includes a not to exceed amount of $99,000 (Attachment 8), representing approximately 3.5% of the total construction cost, which demonstrates exceptional value and substantial savings for this project. This fee ensures proper inspection, documentation, and implementation of the City’s plans, standards, and municipal code. Therefore, staff recommends that the City Council approve this work as an amendment to the existing contract with PPM.
Based on the foregoing, the attached resolutions would deny the bid protest from Dutch
07/08/2025 Item No.15.
6 Contracting Inc and authorize the City Manager to execute a construction agreement with Consolidated Engineering Inc for the construction of the Mangini Ranch Trails Project and Appropriation of Funds. Staff will use the City’s standard construction agreement in a form acceptable to the City Attorney.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The current approved project budget for Mangini Ranch Trails is $3,380,240, therefore an additional appropriation in the amount of $289,035 will be required for a new total project budget of $3,669,275. The revised project budget includes the contracts with Consolidated Engineering Inc ($2,774,608), a 10% budget contingency ($277,461), Kimley-Horn and Associates ($26,640), Pinnacle Project Management ($99,000), , and soft costs (staff time, materials testing, environmental monitoring, etc.) estimated to be $100,000, plusall previously spent and encumbered funds noted in the Total Existing Contracts line item in the table below. The additional appropriation will be from the Folsom Plan Area Capital Fund (Fund 472). Sufficient funds are available in the Folsom Plan Area Capital Fund (Fund 472) for this appropriation,
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The City, as lead agency, previously certified an EIR/EIS for the Folsom Plan Area Specific Plan (FPASP). Subsequently, the City determined that the Mangini Ranch Subdivision project, including the Mangini Ranch Trails, was entirely consistent with the FPASP. In reviewing this project, staff has determined that none of the events specified in Public Current A pproved Project B udg et $3,380,240.00

Re: Mangini Ranch Trails – Amendment No. 3 – Design Support During Construction Scope of Services and Fee Proposal
Dear Brett:
This letter proposal was prepared based on our discussions with the City of Folsom (City) on June 12, 2025 requesting Kimley-Horn provide design support services during construction (DSDC). This letter constitutes a proposal setting forth our proposed amended Scope of Services and Fee. The City and Kimley-Horn entered into an agreement for design consulting services on September 10, 2021, the terms and conditions of which are incorporated herein by reference. Our Project Understanding, Scope of Services, Schedule, and Fee Proposal are as follows.
Project Understanding
Kimley-Horn understands the City intends to award the construction contract to the selected contractor at the July 8th City Council meeting, and the City is requesting continued design support during construction. We understand the City also has retained another firm to provide construction administration/management services. We anticipate the CA/CM firm will take the lead in reviewing and approving submittals and RFIs, and Kimley-Horn will provide support, as requested. We anticipate the construction duration will be up to seven (7) months.
Scope of Services
Task 1 – Design Support During Construction (DSDC)
Consultant will provide design support during construction, as requested, for the anticipated seven (7) month construction duration. Our scope includes the following construction support activities, that may be performed under the agreement, as requested by the City. Our proposed fee does not include enough budget for Kimley-Horn to perform all of the activities summarized below, and this list is intended to include the services we may provide during construction. Any services requested beyond the included budget will be considered additional services and can be performed for additional fee. · Prepare Conform Documents that will incorporate all modifications made to the design documents during the bidding phase.
· Attend one (1) pre-construction meeting, as requested by the City. We assume the meeting will be in-person and one (1) Consultant staff will attend, with one (1) additional Consultant staff attending online/by telephone.
· Visits to Site and Observation of Construction. Kimley-Horn will make site visits to observe the progress of the work, as requested by the City.

· Kimley-Horn will not supervise, direct, or have control over Contractor's work, nor shall Kimley- Horn have authority to stop the Work or have responsibility for the means, methods, techniques, equipment choice and usage, schedules, or procedures of construction selected by Contractor, for safety programs incident to Contractor's work, or for any failure of Contractor to comply with any laws. Kimley-Horn does not guarantee the performance of any Contractor and has no responsibility for Contractor's failure to perform its work in accordance with the Contract Documents.
· Clarifications and Interpretations. Kimley-Horn will respond to reasonable and appropriate Contractor requests for information and issue necessary clarifications and interpretations of the Contract Documents. Any orders authorizing variations from the Contract Documents will be made by Client.
· Shop Drawings and Samples. Kimley-Horn will review and approve or take other appropriate action in respect to Shop Drawings and Samples and other data which Contractor is required to submit, but only for conformance with the information given in the Contract Documents. Such review and approvals or other action will not extend to means, methods, techniques, equipment choice and usage, sequences, schedules, or procedures of construction or to related safety precautions and programs.
· Substantial Completion. Kimley-Horn will, promptly after notice from Contractor that it considers the entire Work ready for its intended use, in company with Client and Contractor, conduct a site visit to determine if the work of Contractor is substantially complete. Work will be considered substantially complete following satisfactory completion of all items with the exception of those identified on a final punch list. If after considering any objections of Client, Kimley-Horn considers the work of Contractor substantially complete, Kimley-Horn will notify Client and Contractor.
· Final Notice of Acceptability of the Work. If requested by the City, Kimley-Horn will conduct a final site visit to determine if the completed work of Contractor is generally in accordance with the contract documents and the final punch list so that Kimley-Horn may recommend, in writing, final payment to Contractor. Accompanying the recommendation for final payment, Kimley-Horn shall also provide a notice that the work of Contractor is generally in accordance with the contract documents to the best of Kimley-Horn’s knowledge, information, and belief based on the extent of its services and based upon information provided to Kimley-Horn upon which it is entitled to rely.
· Limitation of Responsibilities. Kimley-Horn will not be responsible for the acts or omissions of any Contractor, or of any of their subcontractors, suppliers, or of any other individual or entity performing or furnishing the work.

Dear Mr. Bollinger,
I am submitting this formal protest per Section 2.18 Bid Protests of the General Conditions of the contract regarding the apparent low bidder, Consolidated Engineering Inc. of Valley Springs, CA.
As outlined in Section 2.07, the City is required to award the project to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder who demonstrates the requisite experience, financial stability, facilities, and management capabilities to execute the project successfully and on schedule. Dutch Contracting Inc. maintains that Consolidated Engineering Inc. does not meet these critical criteria.
Based on our research, this project would be the largest undertaken by Consolidated Engineering Inc. to date. Their previous contract—Willow Creek Bridge (bid date: February 8, 2024) for Amador County—was awarded at just under $2 million. Reports indicate that the contractor is significantly behind schedule, struggling to meet contractual requirements, and facing liquidated damages of $6,300 per calendar day.
Additionally, at least one subcontractor has sought and been granted contract relief due to mismanagement. The project now risks extending into a third season due to delays before the next winter moratorium in October 2025. County of Amador: 209 223-6377 or email: [email protected] To protect taxpayer interests, we urge the City to exercise due diligence under Section 2.07 and require the three lowest bidders to submit statements of experience and business standing and or financial statements. If necessary, we request post-bid interviews to ensure the selected contractor has a proven track record of successfully completing projects of similar scale and complexity.
We appreciate your time and consideration of Dutch Contracting Inc. for the Mangini Ranch Class I Trails Project. Please feel free to reach out with any questions.

Subject: Clarification of Bid Submission – Mangini Ranch Class I Trails Project
Dear Mr. Bollinger,
I hope this message finds you well.
I’m writing to clarify my bid submission for the Mangini Ranch Class I Trails Project. I inadvertently submitted a single combined total without separating the Base Bid and Additive Alternate No. 1 as outlined in the bid schedule.
For the City’s review, I would like to confirm that my Base Bid total is $2,940,563. I understand the City may elect to award only the Base Bid portion of the project, and I respectfully ask that this amount be considered in that context.
Additionally, if possible, I would appreciate it if you could share the official bid results for this project.
Thank you for your time and understanding. Please let me know if any additional information is needed.

Folsom City Council
Staff Report
1 MEETING DATE:
7/8/2025
AGENDA SECTION:
Public Hearing
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 11425 - A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Folsom Approving and Confirming the Report of
Delinquent Utilities Charges and Requesting Sacramento County to Collect Such Charges on the Tax Roll
FROM: Finance Department
RECOMMENDATION / CITY COUNCIL ACTION
Staff recommends, that the City Council review the attached Report of utilities delinquencies, hold a public hearing on the Report and accept any oral or written public comment, and adopt Resolution No. 11425- A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Folsom Approving and Confirming the Report of Delinquent Utilities Charges and Requesting Sacramento County to Collect such Charges on the Tax Roll.
BACKGROUND / ISSUE
The City provides various utilities services to properties throughout the City, including sewer, water, and solid waste services, for which the City charges a fee for service. While most accounts within the City are current, there are some delinquent utilities accounts. A Delinquent Utilities Charge Report (“Report”) specifying the delinquency by parcel number and type of property is attached showing delinquencies totaling $278,431.20.
Following notice and a public hearing, the City Council may pass a resolution, by at least a two-thirds vote, requesting that the County Auditor/Tax Collector transfer the City’s delinquent utilities charges to the property tax roll for collection with property taxes. Staff recommends the City Council consider the attached Report, hold a public hearing, and accept public comments on this matter, and authorize transfer of any delinquent utilities’ charges to the County for collection on the property tax roll.
07/08/2025 Item No.16.
2 Despite some delinquencies, the City has had remarkable success in utility collections. Utility billing collections average $59,800,000 annually. These collections include water, city sewer, and solid waste services, for a current total of 27,800 open municipal utility accounts. The delinquent amount of $278,431.20 is less than .5% of our annual collections.
POLICY / RULE
Folsom Municipal Code and state law provide that, following notice and a public hearing, the City Council may adopt a resolution transferring delinquent utilities charges to the County tax roll for collection with property taxes. (Cal. Gov’t Code 25831, 38790.1; Cal. Health and Safety Code §§ 5470 et seq.; Folsom Municipal Code Chapters 3.20 (collection of municipal service charges generally) 13.12 (collection of sewer charges). The resolution authorizing the transfer must be passed by the City Council by a two-thirds vote. (Cal. Health & Safety Code § 5473).
ANALYSIS
The City provides sewer, water, and solid waste services to properties within the City, for which it charges the users. While the vast majority of accounts throughout the City are current, there are some accounts that are more than 60 days delinquent in payment and appropriate for transfer to the County tax roll for collection. The total amount of these eligible delinquent accounts is $278,431.20 as indicated on the attached Report. The Report captures accounts that were noticed with a delinquent amount of $100 or greater. The last time a request was made to transfer delinquent utilities to the tax roll was July of 2024.
State law authorizes the City Council, by resolution adopted by at least a two-thirds vote, to request that the County Auditor/Tax Collector transfer these delinquent amounts to the property tax roll for collection with general property taxes. Prior notice of the hearing is to be mailed to the property owners not less than ten days before the hearing. (Cal. Gov’t Code §§ 38790.1, 25831). Notice is also to be published in a newspaper of general circulation for two consecutive weeks prior to the hearing. (Cal. Health & Safety Code § 5473.1; Cal. Gov’t Code § 6066). City staff has satisfied these notice requirements by mailing notice to affected property owners on June 4, 2025. A public hearing notice was published in the Folsom Telegraph on June 20, 2025, and June 27, 2025.
Following a public hearing, the City Council has discretion to adopt the Report as presented, modify the Report, or decline to adopt the Report. However, if the City Council finds that valid protests are made by the owners of a majority of separate parcels of property described in the Report, the Council may not adopt the Report and may not transfer the delinquencies to the tax roll. (Cal. Health & Safety Code § 5473.2). Upon passage of the resolution confirming the Report of delinquencies, as presented, or modified, the Revenue Division will transmit the Report to the Auditor/Tax Collector for placement of the charges on the tax rolls
07/08/2025 Item No.16.
3 for collection with property taxes. County staff has advised City staff that in order to have the matters placed on the tax roll for this year, the Report must be transmitted to the County no later than August 4, 2025.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The City currently has $278,431.20 in delinquent charges that are appropriate for transfer to the tax rolls. Approving this item and authorizing the transfer will help toward collection of these amounts. Should the County accept these amounts, the City will receive payment directly from the County for these amounts and the County will pursue collection through the tax rolls.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This action does not constitute a “project” under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) and does not require environmental review.

BACKGROUND / ISSUE
On June 10, 2025, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 11399 - A Resolution Approving the Preliminary Engineer's Report for the Following Landscaping and Lighting Districts for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 and Setting Public Hearing for American River Canyon North, American River Canyon North No. 2, American River Canyon North No. 3, Blue Ravine Oaks, Blue Ravine Oaks No. 2, Briggs Ranch, Broadstone, Broadstone No. 4, Broadstone Unit No. 3, Cobble Ridge, Cobble Hills Ridge Il/Reflections II, Folsom Heights, Folsom Heights No. 2, Hannaford Cross, Lake Natoma Shores, Los Cerros, Natoma Station, Natoma Valley, Prairie Oaks Ranch, Prairie Oaks Ranch No. 2, Prospect Ridge, Siena Estates, Silverbrook, Steeplechase, The Residences at American River Canyon, The Residences at American River Canyon II, Willow Creek Estates East, Willow Creek Estates East No. 2, Willow Creek Estates South, and Willow Springs. The Engineer’s Report for the City of Folsom Landscaping and Lighting (L&L) Districts addresses the annual assessment for each of the city’s 30 existing Landscaping and Lighting Districts.
As was the case in Fiscal Year 2024-25, Natoma Station-Union Square L&L will not be assessed for Fiscal Year 2025-26 since the Homeowners’ Association has elected to cover maintenance costs at this time.
At the June 10, 2025 , City Council meeting, City Council directed the Engineer of Record to include a table within the Final Engineers Report to reflect revenues and expenses to further highlight operational deficits as well as th e total District account balance as of April 30, 2025.
Annual operational deficits are funded from the Landscape and Lighting Districts pooled cash account. Any reserve fund balance deficits are assigned to the specific district and is the ongoing financial responsibility of the district. Operating deficits can be reduced by annual reserve fund collections or a reduction in services provided to the district. The chart referenced below can be found on pages 44 and 45 in the June 2025 Final Engineers Report for Fiscal Year 2025-26.
07/08/2025 Item No.17.
3 Revenue and Expense Table
POLICY / RULE
Pursuant to Streets and Highways Code Section 22586, an annual Engineer’s Report shall be filed with the City Clerk. The City Council is also required to adopt a resolution confirming the diagram and assessment pursuant to Section 22631 of the Streets and Highway Code.
Pursuant to Streets and Highways Code Section 22656, if there is a surplus or a deficit in the improvement fund of an assessment district at the end of any fiscal year, the surplus or deficit shall be carried forward to the next annual assessment to be levied within such district and applied as a credit or a debit, as the case may be, against such assessment.
07/08/2025 Item No.17.
4 ANALYSIS
The Preliminary Engineer’s Report approved by Resolution No. 11399 described the maintenance and servicing to be performed in the city’s 30 Landscaping and Lighting Districts for Fiscal Year 2025-26. The establishment of annual assessments for each of the L&L Districts requires a resolution confirming the diagram and assessment. The Engineer’s Report is in compliance with the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972; including but not limited to Sections 22565 et seq (preparing a report that complies with the article); and Sections 22660 and 22662 (regarding annual installments procedures/process).
Assessment to Properties
This year’s assessments to properties have been broken into three categories and are depicted in the provided table below. Districts that are showing an increase in assessments this year are districts that were formed with provisions for CPI (consumer price index) otherwise known as an escalator, or cost of living increase. Many of these districts are newer districts or overlay districts that either still do not have an adequate fund balance or need additional assessments to achieve a balanced budget. The next category is static or no increase. These are the districts that do not have provisions for CPI’s or have CPI’s but do not need to utilize them currently to achieve a balanced budget. The last category is decrease; these are districts that have an adequate fund balance and do not need to levy the full assessment to achieve a balanced budget. There was also one (1) district being removed from the tax roll, Union Square, because it has an HOA that manages their landscape areas.
07/08/2025 Item No.17.
5 Installment Summary
The installment summaries describe short-term installments collected pursuant to Section 22660 of the Streets and Highways Code to meet the districts’ future repair and replacement needs anticipated to occur within an approximate five-year time frame, as well as long-term installments collected to meet those future needs anticipated to occur within 5 to 30-year time frames.
Comparison to Last Year
District budgets for this upcoming year will continue focusing on improvements and restorations that enhance e ach district’s commitment to water conservation, prolonging assets life, drought tolerant landscaping improvements, fire safety, and tree stewardship. As such, some districts will be retrofitting and centralizing irrigation controllers, inventorying street trees, changing out plant materials to water wise varietals, and converting over to LED streetlights. Many of the City’s
07/08/2025 Item No.17.
6 districts are over 20 years old and do not have escalators built into their rates to track with cost-of- living increases and economic changes. As such, districts being monitored for future outreach regarding a new assessment overlay district are Briggs Ranch (36 years old), Hannaford Cross (34 years old), Cobble Ridge II / Reflections II (31 years old), Broadstone (33 years old) & Broadstone No.4. Broadstone No.4 was approved by voters and adopted by the City Council in July 2016. The budget for Broadstone No. 4 was structured to provide for immediate needs in the first five years by way of a higher assessment, then reduced to a lower as sessment for maintenance in the following years. This second (reduced) level of assessment is inadequate to address the long-term maintenance and renovation needs of the district. Lastly, the city will continue outreach for an increase in Natoma Station in the 2025-26 Fiscal Year.
Steeplechase, Blue Ravine Oaks & Blue Ravine Oaks No.2 (The Shores), Willow Creek Estates East & Willow Creek Estates East No.2, Willow Creek Estates South (Lexington Hills), Los Cerros, Lake Natoma Shores (The Preserves), Willo w Springs, and Sierra Estates have been identified as having projected budget revenue shortfalls that may impact their ability to maintain basic landscape and lighting services within the next five years. To ensure continued service levels and fiscal sustainability, these districts will require outreach efforts and consideration of new or increased property assessments in accordance with Proposition 218 procedures.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Each Landscaping and Lighting District levies and collects funds to cover operating and maintenance costs attributed to district assets. One (1) district is being removed from the tax roll (Union Square because it has an HOA that manages the landscape areas).
Pursuant to Streets and Highways Code Section 22662 (b) as reflected in the Revenue and Expense Table, there are eight districts with a negative fund balance as of April 30, 2025. Staff is requesting the Council provide for a temporary advance to the improvement funds of these districts from the Landscape and Lighting Districts pooled cash account to fund the operational deficit and the negative fund balance, which will enable staff to continue to provide the minimum level of service pending prop 218 proceedings. These advanced funds shall be directed to be paid back at 0% interest over the next 15 fiscal years, commencing in FY 2026-27 and concluding in FY 2040-41. Staff shall include amortization tables for each district to accompany the FY 2026-27 engineers report.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This action is exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

1. ENGINEER’S LETTER
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Folsom (the “City”), State of California, under the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (the “Act”), directed NBS to prepare and file an Engineer’s Report for the City of Folsom Landscaping and Lighting Districts for Fiscal Year 2025/26, in accordance with Article 4 of Chapter 1 of the Act and Article XIII D of the California Constitution.

NOW THEREFORE, the assessments as detailed in this Engineer’s Report and as summarized in the table below are made to cover the portion of the estimated costs of maintenance, operation and servicing of said improvements to be paid by the assessable real property within the Districts in proportion to the special benefit received. (1) Total amount levied may differ slightly due to installment rounding.

2. INTRODUCTION
2.1 Background
The City has previously formed 30 Landscaping and Lighting Districts (the “Districts”) to provide funding for the installation, maintenance and servicing of landscaping, sidewalks, fences, walls, parks, open space, signage, soundwalls, street lighting, and other public improvements in the City. The 30 Districts are as follows:
American River Canyon North Los Cerros
American River Canyon North No. 2 Natoma Station
American River Canyon North No. 3 Natoma Valley
Blue Ravine Oaks Prairie Oaks Ranch
Blue Ravine Oaks No. 2 Prairie Oaks Ranch No. 2
Briggs Ranch Prospect Ridge
Broadstone Sierra Estates
Broadstone No.3 Silverbrook
Broadstone No. 4 Steeplechase
Cobble Hills Ridge II/Reflections II The Residences at American River Canyon Cobble Ridge The Residences at American River Canyon II Folsom Heights Willow Creek Estates East
Folsom Heights No. 2 Willow Creek Estates East No. 2 Hannaford Cross Willow Creek Estates South
Lake Natoma Shores Willow Springs
2.2 Process for Annual Assessment
The Districts were formed and assessments were established in previous fiscal years. As required by the procedures specified in the Act, an Engineer’s Report must be prepared on an annual basis which contains a full and detailed description of the improvements, the boundaries of the assessment district and any zones therein, and the proposed assessments upon assessable lots and parcels of land within the assessment district. The Engineer’s Report may also identify future planned projects.
The City Council must also annually adopt a resolution of intention which:
Declares the intention of the City Council to levy and collect assessments within the assessment district for the fiscal year stated therein.
Generally describes the existing and proposed improvements and any substantial changes proposed to be made in existing improvements.
07/08/2025 Item No.17.
City of Folsom
Landscaping and Lighting Districts - Fiscal Year 2025/26 Engineer’s Report 3 Refers to the assessment district by its distinctive designation and indicates the general location of the assessment district.
Refers to the report of the engineer, on file with the City Clerk, for a full and detailed description of the improvements, the boundaries of the assessment district and any zones therein, and the proposed assessments upon assessable lots and parcels of land within the assessment district. Gives notice of the time and place for public hearing by the City Council on the levy of the proposed assessment.
States whether the assessment is proposed to increase from the previous year.
If the assessments are to be levied in the same or lesser amounts than the maximum assessment allowed, the City Clerk shall give notice of the public hearing by causing the resolution of intention to be published at least 10 days prior to the date of the public hearing. Any interested person may, prior to the conclusion of the public hearing, file a written protest which shall state all grounds of objection. The protest shall contain a description sufficient to identify the property owned by the property owner filing the protest.
During the course or upon conclusion of the hearing, the City Council may order changes in any of the matters provided in the report, including changes in the improvements, any zones within the assessment district, and the proposed diagram or the proposed assessment. If the assessment to be levied exceeds the maximum assessment allowed, the City must comply with the procedures specified in Article XIII D and Proposition 218.
The City Council, upon conclusion of the public hearing must then adopt a resolution confirming the diagram and assessment, either as originally proposed or as changed by it. The adoption of the resolution shall constitute the levy of an assessment for the fiscal year referred to in the assessment. If confirmed, the assessments would be submitted to the County Auditor Controller for inclusion on the property tax roll.
2.3 Legislative Context
In 1996, California voters adopted Proposition 218, known as the “Right to Vote on Taxes Act,” which added Articles XIII C and XIII D to the California Constitution. Article XIII D established new substantive and procedural requirements on agencies for levying assessments, being levies on real property by an agency for a special benefit conferred upon the real property. “Special benefit” is defined in Article XIII D as “a particular and distinct benefit over and above general benefits conferred on a real property located in the district or to the public at large.”
Article XIII D imposes five basic substantive requirements on assessments:
All parcels that will have a special benefit conferred upon them and upon which an assessment will be imposed must be identified;
The general benefits must be distinguished from the special benefits conferred on the parcels; The proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel must be determined in relationship to the entirety of the capital cost of a public improvement, the maintenance and operation expenses of a public improvement, or the cost of the property related service being provided;
07/08/2025 Item No.17.
City of Folsom
Landscaping and Lighting Districts - Fiscal Year 2025/26 Engineer’s Report 4 The amount assessed to a parcel must not exceed the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel and must not include any costs attributable to the general benefit; and
Parcels within a district that are owned or used by any agency, the State of California or the United States shall not be exempt from assessment unless the agency can demonstrate by clear and convincing evidence that those publicly owned parcels in fact receive no special benefit.
Since the initial passage of Proposition 218, several court rulings have helped provide context and direction with respect to the procedures and requirements of Article XIII D for levying assessments. Several of the key concepts from these rulings are summarized below.
GENERAL BENEFIT
Article XIII D requires an agency to separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred on the identified parcels because only special benefits are assessable.
The Court of Appeal in Golden Hills Neighborhood Assn., Inc. v. City of San Diego (2011) (“ Golden Hills” ) clarified this concept by stating, “ Separation and quantification of general and special benefits must be accomplished by apportioning the cost of a service or improvement between the two and assessing property owners only for the portion of the cost representing special benefits .” The Court of Appeal in Beutz v. County of Riverside (2010) (“ Beutz” ) noted that the trial court took judicial notice of the Legislative Analyst’s Office pamphlet titled “Understanding Proposition 218” which states an agency must, “ estimate the amount of special benefit landowners would receive from the project or service, as well as the amount of ‘general benefit.’ This step is needed because Proposition 218 allows local government to recoup from assessments only the proportionate share of cost to provide the special benefit. ”
The Court in Beutz furthered this idea stating, “ Separating the general from the special benefits of a public improvement project and estimating the quantity of each in relation to the other is essential if an assessment is to be limited to the special benefits.”
The Court of Appeal in Silicon Valley Taxpayers' Association Incorporated v. Santa Clara County Open Space Authority (2008) (“SVTA”) clarified that general benefits are not restricted to benefits conferred only on persons and property outside the assessment district but can include benefits both conferred on real property located in the district or to the public at large. The “public at large” includes all members of the public, including those who live, work, and shop within the district, and not simply transient visitors.
The Court of Appeal again reiterated the need to separate, quantify and apportion costs to general benefits from the improvements in Broad Beach Geologic Hazard Abatement District v 31506 Victoria Point LLC (2022), stating, “The District cites no authority, and we are aware of none, suggesting that an agency’s subjective intent determines the need to account for general benefits.”
BENEFIT-BASED NOT COST-BASED
In Town of Tiburon v. Bonander (2009) (“ Tiburon” ), the Court of Appeal clarified the idea that assessments must be apportioned based upon benefit rather than cost. The Court stated, “ Proportionate special benefit is the basis upon which a project’s total assessable costs are apportioned among parcels within an assessment district. ”
07/08/2025 Item No.17.
City of Folsom
Landscaping and Lighting Districts - Fiscal Year 2025/26 Engineer’s Report 5 The assessment on a particular property cannot be based on the relative cost of the improvements to the property, but rather on the special benefit conferred on such property. The Court in Tiburon also stated, “an assessment represents the entirety of the cost of the improvement or property-related service, less any amount attributable to general benefits (which may not be assessed), allocated to individual properties in proportion to the relative special benefit conferred on the property .”
MEASURING AND APPORTIONING SPECIAL BENEFIT
The Court in Tiburon acknowledged the difficulty of trying to precisely assign and measure special benefit, stating, “ Any attempt to classify special benefits conferred on particular properties and to assign relative weights to those benefits will necessarily involve some degree of imprecision. ” The Court in Tiburon went on to say that a formula assigning equal weight to different special benefits “may be a legally justifiable approach to measuring and apportioning special benefits, [but] it is not necessarily the only valid approach. Whichever approach is taken to measuring and apportioning special benefits, however, it must be both defensible and consistently applied .”

3. PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS
The work and improvements proposed to be undertaken by the City and the cost thereof paid from the continuation of the annual assessment provide special benefit to parcels within the Districts as defined in the Method of Apportionment herein. Consistent with the Act, the Districts’ work and improvements are generally described as follows:
The installation, maintenance and servicing of turf, ground cover, shrubs and trees, irrigation systems, drainage systems, street lighting, fencing, soundwalls, sidewalks, monuments, statuary, fountains, water quality ponds, park facilities, open space, bike trails, walkways, drainage swales, other ornamental structures and facilities, entry signage, street pavers, art work, and monuments, as well as all necessary appurtenances, labor, materials, supplies, utilities, and equipment, as applicable, for property owned or maintained by the City. Any plans and specifications for these improvements have been filed with the City and are incorporated herein by reference.
"Maintain" or "maintenance" means the furnishing of services and materials for the ordinary and usual maintenance, operation, and servicing of any improvement, including:
a) Repair, removal, or replacement of all or any part of any improvement. b) Providing for the life, growth, health, and beauty of landscaping, including cultivation, irrigation, trimming, spraying, fertilizing, or treating for disease or injury. c) The removal of trimmings, rubbish, debris, and other solid waste. d) The cleaning, sandblasting, and painting of walls and other improvements to remove or cover graffiti.
"Service" or "servicing" means the furnishing of:
a) Electric current or energy, gas, or other illuminating agent for any public lighting facilities or for the lighting or operation of any other improvements.
b) Water for the irrigation of any landscaping, the operation of any fountains, or the maintenance of any other improvements.
Plans and Specifications for the improvements are incorporated by reference and made a part of this Engineer’s Report. The Plans and Specifications for each District are on file with the City and are available for public inspection.
Included is a separate but integral tool: the City of Folsom Landscaping and Lighting District Improvement Plan (“Improvement Plan”). It is a separate planning document that identifies the type of upcoming improvements (e.g. re-landscaping a corridor or painting a wall); the estimated cost; any installments required for short-term (less than five years) and/or long term (not greater than 30 years) improvements, and the approximate schedule for completion of the improvements. The City intends to continually update and revise the Improvement Plan throughout each year to reflect the current status of improvement projects, budget updates and/or changes in priorities.
07/08/2025 Item No.17.
City of Folsom
Landscaping and Lighting Districts - Fiscal Year 2025/26 Engineer’s Report 7 The concept of the Improvement Plan arose from the City’s commitment to comply with the requirements of the Act as well as produce a valuable instrument that enables the City to schedule, prioritize, and plan for needed maintenance and servicing improvements in the districts. It also serves as a user-friendly means for members of the public to review and understand the use of the assessment revenues generated from each District.
The assessment proceeds from each District will be exclusively used for improvements within that District plus incidental expenses. Reference is made to Section 4 - Estimate of Costs and Budgets, Section 7 – Budgets, and the additional plans and specifications, including District specific expenditure and improvement plans, which are on file with the City.

Landscaping and Lighting Districts - Fiscal Year 2025/26 Engineer’s Report 21
5. METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT
The following section of the Engineer's Report includes an explanation of the benefits to be derived from the installation, maintenance and servicing of the improvements throughout the Districts, as well as a description of the assessment methodology used to apportion the total assessment to properties within each District.
The Districts consist of all assessor parcels within the boundaries as defined by the Assessment Diagram included with this report. Further, all assessor parcels, including all privately and publicly owned parcels, are identified by Assessor Parcel Numbers listed within the included assessment levy roll. The method used for apportioning the assessment is based on the proportional special benefits to be derived by the properties in the Districts over and above general benefits conferred on real property or to the public at large.
The apportionment of special benefit is a two-step process: the first step is to identify the types of special benefit arising from the improvements, and the second step is to allocate the assessments to property based on the estimated relative special benefit for each type of property.
Historical annual Engineer’s Reports were prepared by a different engineer of record and specific language from those historical Engineer’s Reports have been referenced to describe the Method of Apportionment within the following section of this report.
5.1 Discussion of Benefit
Assessments can only be levied based on the special benefit to property. This benefit is received by property over and above any general benefits. With reference to the requirements for assessments, Section 22573 of the Act states:
"The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be recei ved by each such lot or parcel from the improvements."
Proposition 218, as codified in Article XIII D of the California Constitution, has confirmed that assessments must be based on the special benefit to property and the assessment must not exceed the reasonable cost of the proportional benefit upon the assessed parcel:
"No assessment shall be imposed on any parcel which exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel." The following benefit categories summarize the types of special benefit to residential, commercial, industrial and other lots and parcels resulting from the improvements to be provided with the assessment proceeds. These categories of special benefit are supported by various California legislation and supporting studies which describe the types of special benefit received by property from improvements such as those proposed by the Districts. These types of special benefit are summarized as follows:
Proximity to improved landscaped areas within each District. Access to improved landscaped areas within each District.
07/08/2025 Item No.17.
City of Folsom
Landscaping and Lighting Districts - Fiscal Year 2025/26 Engineer’s Report 22 Improved views within each District.
Extension of property’s outdoor areas and green spaces for properties within close proximity to the improvements.
Creation of individual lots for residential and commercial use that, in absence of the District and the services provided by the District, would not have been created.
The SVTA decision provides enhanced clarity to the definitions of special benefits to properties in three distinct areas: proximity, expanded or improved access, and views. The SVTA decision also clarifies that a special benefit is a service or improvement that provides a direct advantage to a parcel, and that indirect or derivative advantages resulting from the overall public benefits from a service or improvement are general benefits. The SVTA decision also provides specific guidance that park improvements are a direct advantage and special benefit to property that is proximate to a park improved by an assessment:
The characterization of a benefit may depend on whe ther the parcel receives a direct advantage from the improvement (e.g. proximity to a park) or recei ves an indirect, derivative advantage resulting fro m the overall public benefits of the improvement (e.g . general enhancement of the district’s property values).
Proximity, improved access and views, in addition to the other special benefits listed above, further strengthen the basis of these assessments.
The special benefits from the improvements are further detailed below.
PROXIMITY TO IMPROVED LANDSCAPED AREAS WITHIN THE DISTRICT Only the specific properties within close proximity to the improvements are included in each District.
Therefore, property in each District enjoys unique and valuable proximity and access to the improvements that the public at large and property outside of each District do not share.
In absence of the assessments, the improvements would not be provided and the landscaping areas within each District would be degraded due to insufficient funding for maintenance, upkeep and repair.
Therefore, the assessments provide improvements that are over and above what otherwise would be provided. Improvements that are over and above what otherwise would be provided do not by themselves translate into special benefits but when combined with the unique proximity and access enjoyed by parcels in the Districts, they provide a direct advantage and special benefit to property within each District.
ACCESS TO IMPROVED LANDSCAPED AREAS WITHIN THE DISTRICT Since the parcels in each District are the only parcels that enjoy close access to the improvements, they directly benefit from the unique close access to improved landscaping areas that are provided by the assessments. This is a direct advantage and special benefit to property in that District.
IMPROVED VIEWS WITHIN THE DISTRICT
The Districts, by maintaining these landscaped areas, provides improved views to properties in each District. The properties in a District enjoy close and unique proximity, access and views of the improvements. Therefore, the improved and protected views provided by the assessments are another direct and tangible advantage that is uniquely conferred upon the property within each District.

City of Folsom
Landscaping and Lighting Districts - Fiscal Year 2025/26 Engineer’s Report 23 EXTENSION OF A PROPERTY’S OUTDOOR AREAS AND GREEN SPACES FOR PROPERTIES WITHIN CLOSE
PROXIMITY TO THE IMPROVEMENTS
In large part, because it is generally cost prohibitive to provide large open land areas in development projects, the residential, commercial and other benefiting properties in each District do not have large outdoor areas and green spaces. The landscaped areas within each District provide additional outdoor areas that serve as an effective extension of the land area for properties that are in close proximity to the improvements. The improvements, therefore, provide an important, valuable and desirable extension of usable land area, which confers a direct advantage and special benefit to properties in close proximity to the improvements.
CREATION OF INDIVIDUAL LOTS FOR RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL USE THAT, IN ABSENCE OF THE
ASSESSMENTS, WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN CREATED
Typically, the original owner/developer of the property within the Districts can petition the City to establish the assessment districts. As parcels were sold, new owners were informed of the assessments through the title reports, and in some cases, through the Department of Real Estate “White Paper” reports that the parcels were subject to assessment. The purchase of property was also an “agreement” to pay the assessment. In absence of the assessments, the lots within the Districts would probably not have been subdivided and created. These lots, and the improvements they support, are a special benefit to the property owners.
5.2 General versus Special Benefit
The assessments from the Districts are used to fund improvements and increased levels of maintenance to the grounds adjoining the properties in the Districts. In absence of those Districts, such improvements would not be provided and the properties would not have been subdivided and improved to the same extent. The Districts were specifically proposed for formation to provide additional and improved improvements, and services in the Districts. In absence of the assessments, these public resources could not be created and revenues would not be available for their continued maintenance and improvement.
Therefore, the assessments solely provide special benefit to property in the Districts over and above the general benefits conferred by the general facilities of the City.
Although these improvements may be available to the general public at large because the Districts are accessible by members of the public, the improvements within each District were specifically designed, located and created to provide additional and improved public resources for property inside the Districts, and not the public at large. Other properties that are either outside the Districts or within the Districts and not assessed, do not enjoy the unique proximity, access, views and other special benefit factors described previously. These improvements are of special benefit to properties located within the Districts because they provide a direct advantage to properties in the Districts that would not be provided in absence of the assessments.
