customer turnouts along the Jones Pipeline. The upgrade will reduce seepage losses and enable the Association and stakeholders to better manage the water supply. The project will also make the Jones Pipeline compatible with the recently pressurized main canal and will enable agricultural customers to make future on-farm irrigation improvements.
The project meets the goals of the Association’s Water Management and Conservation Plan in 2015.
• State the length of time and estimated completion date for the proposed project (month/year). Note: Proposed projects should not have an estimated construction start date that is prior to 12 months after the submission deadline for the application period. • Whether or not the proposed project is located on a Federal facility.
Project Location
Provide detailed information on the proposed project location or project area including a map showing the geographic location. For example, [project name] is located in [state and county] approximately [distance] miles [direction, e.g., northeast] of [nearest town]. The project latitude is [##°##’N] and longitude is [###°##’W].
Technical Project Description
Provide a comprehensive description of the technical aspects of your project, including the scope of work to be accomplished and the approach for the on-the-ground project. This description should provide detailed information about the project materials and equipment including what is currently installed and a description of the upgrade being made. Include in your description the necessary site preparation, removal of materials, motorized and rotating equipment required for installation, site laydown and mobilization areas, and areas impacted by construction. This section provides an opportunity for the applicant to provide a clear description of the technical nature and installation process of the project and to address any aspect of the project that reviewers may need additional information to understand. Please identify if any buildings, structures, or features associated with the project are listed or eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places (over 50 years of age).
Please do not include your project schedule and milestones here; that information is requested in response to the Merit Review Criterion C—Implementation and Results. In addition, please avoid discussion of the benefits of the project, which are also requested in response to merit review criteria. This section is solely intended to provide an understanding of the technical aspects of the project.
Merit Review Criteria
“The Merit Review Criteria” section provides a detailed description of each criterion and sub- criterion and points associated with each. The merit review criteria portion of the application should thoroughly address each criterion and sub-criterion in the order presented to assist in the complete and accurate merit review of the proposal.
Copying and pasting the merit review criteria and sub-criteria in Project Narrative’s Merit Review Criteria into your applications is suggested to ensure that all necessary information is adequately addressed.
Letters of Support
04/28/2026 Item No.8.
Attach all support letters from interested stakeholders at the end of your application. Letters received after the application deadline will not be evaluated.
Letter of Partnership (Category B Applicants)
Category B applicants need to submit a Letter of Partnership from their eligible Category A partner, confirming their collaboration and agreement with the application. Ideally, this letter should be included with the application; however, if selected for an award, it must be received before the financial assistance agreement is finalized.
Budget Narrative
Applicants must describe and justify items and costs listed in their budget. The budget narrative must identify the following cost items: total estimated costs, non-Federal cost share, third-party contributions, and any pre-award costs. Total project cost is the sum of all allowable costs, including required and voluntary cost share and third-party contributions.
Budget items must be:
• Reasonable, allowable, allocable, and necessary
• Compliant with 2 CFR §200 Subpart E cost principles
Indirect Costs: Applicants must indicate in their budget narrative how they will charge indirect costs, including the rate to be applied:
• De Minimis Rate: If eligible, state if your organization is opting to use the de minimis rate of up to 15% of total modified direct costs. Entities that do not have a current Federal negotiated indirect cost rate (including provisional rate) may propose to use the de minimis rate. For more information, refer to 2 CFR 200.414(f). • Negotiated Rate: State if you will negotiate with your cognizant agency. If your organization has previously negotiated a rate, attach a copy of the most recently negotiated rate agreement (active or expired).
The budget narrative provides a written description of the costs included in each budget category on the SF-424A and how they were estimated. While the SF-424A gives the total cost for each category of the budget, the budget narrative gives the item by item breakdown for each category and shows the calculations used to derive the costs. The budget description serves two purposes:
1) it explains how the costs were estimated, and 2) it justifies the need for the cost. See Attachment A for Budget Narrative Guidance. Attachment B is a suggested format for capturing budget details to support the Narrative.
Applicants may include pre-award costs (defined at 2 CFR 200.458) in their budget estimate.
The estimate may only include costs that were or will be incurred after the posting date of this funding opportunity. Incurrence of pre-award costs are at the applicant’s risk. If selected, the pre- award costs will be reviewed and approved costs will be included in the financial assistance agreement.
Program Cost Restrictions:
04/28/2026 Item No.8.
Proposal costs: The costs for preparing and submitting an application in response to this funding opportunity, including developing data necessary to support the proposal, are not eligible project costs and must not be included in the project budget.
Other project costs: The costs for the purchase of water or land, or to secure an easement other than a construction easement are not eligible project costs under this funding opportunity.
Environmental and Regulatory Compliance Costs:
Include costs in the budget for completing compliance activities for Federal environmental and cultural resources laws and regulations. Applicants may contact their local Reclamation office to discuss the compliance requirements and potential costs. If the project is selected for award, these costs will be reviewed for accuracy and adjusted as needed. See “Administration and National Policy Requirements” for additional detail.
Conflict of Interest and Unresolved Matters Disclosures:
If any actual or potential conflict of interest exists related to this project at the time of application, the applicant must provide sufficient information to support a program determination of significance per 2 CFR 1402.112. Refer to 2 CFR 200.112 Conflict of Interest and 2 CFR 200.113.
Overlap or Duplication of Effort Statement:
Applicants must state in their application if the activities, costs, or time commitment of key personnel proposed in this application overlap with those in any other Federal proposal or award or not. If no overlap exists, include a statement to that effect. If any overlap exists, provide:
• Activities: Description any overlapping activities.
• Costs: Description of any overlapping costs.
• Time: Description of any overlapping key personnel time. • A copy of any overlapping or duplicative proposal submitted to any other potential funding entity.
• Details on when any overlapping proposal was submitted, to whom, and the expected date of the funding decision.
Other Required Information
Letters of Commitment:
Applicants should include letters of commitment from third-party cost share sources. Letters of commitment should identify the amount of funding committed, the date the funds are available, time constraints on the availability of funds, and any other funding contingencies.

APPLICATION REVIEW INFORMATION
Eligibility Review
During the eligibility review, the application is checked for timely submission, completed packages (see Application Documents above) and alignment with the requirements of this announcement. The Federal agency may remove an application if it does not pass the eligibility review.
Reclamation will remove an application if it does not include:
• Completed SF-424 and SF-424A forms
• SAM.gov registration, with a valid UEI (unless an exemption at 2 CFR 25.110 applies, see below)
• A project narrative
• A budget narrative
If an applicant selected for funding hasn't finished their SAM.gov registration (see 2 CFR 25.200 and 2 CFR 25.110) when the federal agency is ready to make an award, we may decide that the applicant is ineligible for the award and choose to grant it to someone else. Please refer 2 CFR
25.205 for more information.
Prior to making an award, the DOI checks the anticipated recipient and their key project personnel against the current list of prohibited or restricted persons or entities in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) Exclusions database. We are prohibited from making an award if a recipient or any key personnel are found ineligible, prohibited, restricted, or otherwise excluded from receiving or participating in an award, as their ineligibility condition applies to this program.
If removed from consideration for ineligibility, the Federal agency will notify the applicant in writing.
04/28/2026 Item No.8.
Merit Review
The merit review criteria should be addressed in the Project Narrative. Applications should thoroughly address each criterion and any sub-criterion in the order presented below.
Applications will be evaluated against the merit review criteria listed below.
Merit Review Criteria Scoring Summary Points
A. Project Benefits 15
B. Planning Efforts Supporting the Project 25
C. Project Implementation 20
D. Nexus to Reclamation 5
E. Presidential and Department of Interior Priorities 20 F. Construction Priority 10
G. Cost-Share Priority 5
Total 100
Note: Projects may be prioritized to ensure balance among the program task areas and to ensure that the projects address this NOFO’s goals and objectives.
Merit Review Criterion A. Project Benefits (15 points)
Up to 15 points may be awarded based upon evaluation of the benefits that are expected to result from implementing the proposed project. This criterion considers a variety of project benefits, including the significance of the anticipated water management benefits and the public benefits of the project. This criterion prioritizes projects that modernize existing infrastructure to address water reliability concerns, increasing water yield available for multiple beneficial uses and resolving water related conflict in the region.
If the work described in your application is a phase of a larger project, only discuss the benefits that will result directly from the work discussed in the Project Narrative and that is reflected in the budget, not the larger project.
Benefits to the Category A Applicant’s Water Delivery System: Describe the expected benefits to the Category A applicant’s water delivery system. Address the following:
Clearly explain the anticipated water management benefits to the Category A applicant’s water supply delivery system and water customers. Consider:
• Will the project result in more efficient management of the water supply? • Where any conserved water as a result of the project will go and how it will be used?
Explain the significance of the anticipated water management benefits for the Category A applicant’s water delivery system and customers. Consider:
• Are customers not currently getting their full water right at certain times of year?
04/28/2026 Item No.8.
• Does this project have the potential to prevent lawsuits or water calls? • What are the consequences of not making the improvement? • Are customer water restrictions currently required?
• Other significant concerns that support the need for the project.
Broader Benefits: Describe the broader benefits that are expected to occur as a result of the project. Consider:
Will the project improve broader water supply reliability at sub-basin or basin scale? • Will the proposed project increase collaboration and information sharing among water managers in the region? Please explain.
• Is the project in an area that is experiencing, or recently experienced, drought or water scarcity? Will the project help address drought conditions at the sub-basin or basin scale? Please explain.
• Will the proposed project benefit different sectors and economies within the geographic areas (e.g., benefits to agriculture, environment, recreation, and tourism)? Please explain. • Will the project complement work being done in coordination with NRCS in the area (e.g., the area with a direct connection to the districts water supply)? Please explain.
Please note, on-farm improvements themselves are not eligible activities for funding under this NOFO. This criterion is intended to focus on how the WaterSMART Grant project will complement ongoing or future on-farm improvements. NRCS will have a separate application process for the on-farm components of selected projects that may be undertaken in the future, separate of the WaterSMART Grant project.
Merit Review Criterion B. Planning Efforts Supporting the Project (25 points) Up to 25 points may be awarded based on the extent to which the proposed on-the-ground project is supported by an applicant’s existing water management plan, water conservation plan, System Optimization Review, or identified as part of another planning effort led by the Category A applicant. This criterion prioritizes projects that are identified through local planning efforts and meet local needs. Note: Project specific planning and design for the project or other phases of the project are considered in Criteria C – Implementation.
Plan Description and Objectives: Is your project supported by a specific planning document or effort? If so, describe the existing plan. When was the plan developed? What is the purpose and objective of the plan?
Plan Development: Who developed the planning effort? What is the geographic scope of the plan? If the planning effort was not developed by the Category A applicant, describe the Category A applicant’s involvement in developing the planning effort.
Support for the Project: Describe to what extend the proposed project is supported by the identified plan. Consider:
04/28/2026 Item No.8.
• Is the project identified specifically by name and location in the planning effort? • Is this type of project identified in the planning effort? • Explain whether the proposed project implement a goal, objective, or address a need or problem identified in the existing planning effort?
• Explain how the proposed project has been determined as a priority in the existing planning effort as opposed to other potential projects/measures.
Merit Review Criterion C. Implementation and Results (20 points) Up to 20 points may be awarded based upon the extent to which the applicant is capable of proceeding with the proposed project upon entering into a financial assistance agreement.
Applicants that describe a detailed plan (e.g., estimated project schedule that shows the stages and duration of the proposed work, including major tasks, milestones, and dates) will receive the most points under this criterion.
• Describe the implementation plan for the proposed project. Please include an estimated project schedule that shows the stages and duration of the proposed work, including major tasks, milestones, and dates.
• Proposals with a budget and budget narrative that provide a reasonable explanation of project costs will be prioritized under this criterion. • Describe any permits and agency approvals that will be required along with the process and timeframe for obtaining such permits or approvals.
• Identify and describe any engineering or design work performed specifically in support of the proposed project. What level of engineering design is the project currently? If additional design is required, describe the planned process and timeline for completing the design.
• Does the applicant have access to the land or water source where the project is located? Has the applicant obtained any easements that are required for the project? If the applicant does not yet have permission to access the project location, describe the process and timeframe for obtaining such permission.
• Identify whether the applicant has contacted the local Reclamation office to discuss the potential environmental and cultural resource compliance requirements for the project and the associated costs. Has a line item been included in the budget for costs associated with compliance? If a contractor will need to complete some of the compliance activities, separate line items should be included in the budget for Reclamation’s costs and the contractor’s costs.
Merit Review Criterion D. Nexus to Reclamation (5 Points) Up to 5 points may be awarded based on the extent that the proposal demonstrates a nexus between the proposed project and a Reclamation project or activity. Describe the nexus between the proposed project and a Reclamation project or activity, including:
Is the proposed project connected to a Reclamation project or activity? If so, how? Please consider the following:
04/28/2026 Item No.8.
• Does the applicant have a water service, repayment, or operations and maintenance (O&M) contract with Reclamation?
• If the applicant is not a Reclamation contractor, does the applicant receive Reclamation water through a Reclamation contractor or by any other contractual means? • Will the proposed work benefit a Reclamation Project area or activity?
Merit Review Criterion E. Presidential and Department of Interior Priorities (20 points) Up to 20 points may be awarded based on the extent that the project demonstrably:
• advances the Trump Administration’s priorities, including E.O. 14154: Unleashing American Energy, justifies alignment with priorities and requirements in E.O. 14332:
Improving Oversight in Federal Grantmaking;
• includes primary project elements that develop, demonstrate, and or implement artificial intelligence (AI) technologies that advance the Trump Administration and Department of Interior’s priorities for AI, including OMB M-25-21 Accelerating the Use of AI through Innovation, Governance, and Public Trust; S.O. 3444: Leading Interior’s Path to Artificial Intelligence Transformation;
• aligns with Secretary Burgum’s strategic objectives, including those identified in S.O.s 3417: Addressing the National Energy Emergency, 3418 Unleashing American Energy, 3419 Delivering Emergency Price Relief for American Families and Defeating the Cost- of-Living Crisis;
• aligns with goals and objectives in the U.S. Department of the Interior FY 2026-2030 Strategic Plan; and
• supports water management and enhanced operational flexibility in Reclamation States, with priority given to the Colorado River Basin, which is experiencing long-term drought conditions.
Please address only those priorities that are applicable to your project. All priorities will be given equal consideration. A project will not necessarily receive more points simply because multiple priorities are addressed. Points will be allocated based on the degree to which the project supports, advances, or otherwise demonstrates an enhancement of one or more of the priorities identified, and whether the connection to the stated priority (or priorities) is (are) well supported.
Merit Review Criterion F. Construction Priority (10 points) Up to 10 points may be awarded based on the extent that the proposed project is a construction project that can be completed within the allowable project duration. Projects that focus on construction of hard infrastructure to deliver durable, long-term improvements in water reliability and resilience will be prioritized. Hard infrastructure is tangible or built infrastructure.
Please identify the hard infrastructure construction components of the project, if applicable.
Merit Review Criterion G. Cost Share Priority (5 Points)
04/28/2026 Item No.8.
Up to 5 points may be awarded to proposals that include non-Federal cost share contributions exceeding the statutory minimum by at least 5 percent. Projects with a higher non-Federal cost share may be awarded more points. State the percentage of non-Federal funding provided using the following calculation:
Non-Federal Funding / Total Project Cost = %
See Cost Sharing Requirement and Budget Narrative for more information on cost-share requirements and eligible costs.
Note: projects selected for award will have reported cost-share amounts verified. If reported cost share is found to be ineligible, there may be impacts to award. Accordingly, please ensure reported cost share amounts are accurate and eligible.
Review and Selection Process
This program reviews proposed budgets to ensure:
• figures are correct
• estimated costs are necessary and reasonable and clearly linked to project narratives • avoid obviously unallowable costs
• identify costs requiring prior approval
• ensure indirect cost rates are applied correctly
• confirm cost sharing requirements are reflected in the budget.
This program reviews applications for potential overlap or duplication between the proposed project and any other funded or proposed project. Depending on the circumstances, DOI may choose to not make an award.
Initial Review: Prior to conducting the comprehensive merit review, an initial review will be performed to determine whether: (1) the applicant is eligible for an award; (2) the information required by the NOFO has been submitted; (3) all mandatory requirements of the NOFO are satisfied; (4) the proposed project is responsive to the program objectives of the NOFO (program determination); and (5) the proposed project is in compliance with all applicable executive and secretary orders, including the President’s executive order on Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEI Programs and referencing as well as the executive order and Secretary order on Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History. If an applicant fails to meet the requirements or objectives of the NOFO, or does not provide sufficient information for review, the applicant will be considered nonresponsive and eliminated from further review.
An Application Review Committee (ARC), made up of experts in relevant disciplines, will review the technical merit of the application, based on the merit review criteria. The ARC will also review the application to ensure that the project is eligible and meets the objective of this NOFO. During ARC review, Reclamation may contact applicants to request clarifications to the information provided, if necessary.
After the merit review, Reclamation conducts a “red-flag” review of top-ranking applications.
During this review, Reclamation identifies any reasons a project would not be feasible or advisable, including environmental or cultural compliance, permitting, legal, financial,
04/28/2026 Item No.8.
performance or other concerns. After the red-flag review, Reclamation conducts a “managerial review” of top-ranking applications. The managerial review prioritizes applications for selection based on the objectives of the NOFO. The review of applications will follow the requirements of E.O. 14332, such as ensuring review by senior appointees, and that selections demonstrably advance the President’s policy priorities consistent with applicable law. Geographic dispersion, project types, applicant types, previous award history, and applicant success in implementing Gold Standard Science (E.O. 14303) may be considered during the review. Selections are finalized once all reviews are complete, and all applicants are notified.
Risk Review
Prior to making an award, the applicant will be assessed for their level of risk per 2 CFR 200.206. This assessment includes the applicant's financial management capabilities, project delivery experience, staffing resources, past award performance, administration and reporting compliance records, and overall project complexity and potential for challenges. If an award will be made, special conditions may be applied to the award corresponding to the assessed risk. For awards over the simplified acquisition threshold (currently $350,000), a review of the applicant's eligibility and financial integrity information in the applicant's SAM.gov records will also be performed per 2 CFR 200.206.
Reclamation conducts a detailed budget analysis and a business evaluation and responsibility determination. During this evaluation, Reclamation will consider several factors, such as:
• Allowability, allocability, and reasonableness of proposed costs • Financial strength and stability of the applicant
• Past performance, including satisfactory compliance with all terms and conditions of previous awards, such as environmental compliance, reporting requirements, and audit compliance
• Adequacy of personnel practices, procurement procedures, and accounting policies and procedures.
AWARD NOTICES
Notices of Federal Award are sent electronically via GrantSolutions or e-mail. These notices outline the terms, conditions, and payment instructions per 2 CFR 200.211. The Notice of Federal Award signed by an authorized Grants Officer is the legal instrument obligating financial assistance to a recipient. Any other prior notice is not an authorization to begin work. If the program allows pre-award costs per 2 CFR 200.458, beginning performance before receiving a Notice of Federal Award is at the applicant’s own risk.
Anticipated Project Start Date: 06/02/2027
Anticipated Project End Date: 06/30/2029
Reclamation anticipates contacting potential award recipients and unsuccessful applicants in December 2025, subject to the timing and amount of final appropriations. Reclamation will contact award recipients individually to discuss the time frame for the completion of their agreement. A webinar will be held for successful applicants within 30 days following their notice of selection to review next steps and pre-Financial Assistance Agreement procedures.
04/28/2026 Item No.8.
Reclamation may post successful applications on a Reclamation website, after necessary redactions, in consultation with the successful applicant.
POST AWARD REQUIREMENTS AND ADMINISTRATION
Administration and National Policy Requirements
For award administration and national policy requirements, see the DOI General Terms and Conditions. Infrastructure projects require the use of American iron, steel, manufacture products, and construction materials per 2 CFR 184.
Automated Standard Application for Payments Registration All recipients must be registered with and willing to process all payments through the Department of Treasury Automated Standard Application for Payments (ASAP) system. All recipients with active financial assistance agreements with Reclamation must be enrolled in ASAP under the appropriate Agency Location Code(s) and UEI Number prior to the award of funds. If a recipient has multiple UEI numbers, they must separately enroll within ASAP for each unique UEI Number and/or Agency. If your entity is currently enrolled in the ASAP system with an agency other than Reclamation, you must enroll specifically with Reclamation in order to process payments. All of the information on the enrollment process for recipients, will be sent to you by ASAP staff if selected for award.
Approvals and Permits
Recipients must comply with Federal, State, Territorial, Tribal, and local laws, regulations, and codes, as applicable, and must obtain all required approvals and permits. Recipients must also coordinate and obtain approvals from site owners and operators, as applicable.
Environmental and Cultural Resources Compliance
The recipient must comply with all applicable Federal, State, and local environmental, cultural, and paleontological resource laws and regulations. Data collections supporting compliance efforts must follow separate compliance procedures. All projects will require compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), Endangered Species Act (ESA), and National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) before any ground-disturbing activity may begin.
Recipients are prohibited from any ground-disturbing activities (e.g., biological or water quality surveys, grading, clearing, excavation, and other preliminary or construction activities) on a project before environmental and cultural resources compliance is complete. A recipient that proceeds before environmental and cultural resources compliance is complete risks forfeiting funding. The Grant Officer will issue a Notice to Proceed that explicitly authorizes work to proceed once environmental and cultural resource compliance is complete.
Official Resolution
Prior to award, the recipient must provide an official resolution adopted by the organization’s governing body, or, for state government entities, an official authorized to commit the recipient to the financial and legal obligations of the financial assistance award. The official resolution verifies:
04/28/2026 Item No.8.
• The identity of the official with legal authority to enter into an agreement • The board of directors, governing body, or appropriate official who has reviewed and supports the application submitted
• That the organization will work with Reclamation to meet established deadlines
Geospatial Data
If you receive financial assistance from the Department of the Interior (DOI), recipient must follow these rules for geospatial data:
Follow Federal Standards: All geospatial data you collect or create must meet the standards set by the Federal Geospatial Data Committee (FGDC) or the Department of the Interior. This is required by the Geospatial Data Act of 2018, which is part of Public Law 115-254, specifically in Subtitle F (Geospatial Data), sections 751-759C (codified at 43 U.S.C. §§ 2801–2811).
Include Metadata: Your Geographic Information Systems (GIS) files must include complete metadata. Metadata is information that describes the data, such as where it came from, how accurate it is, and how it should be used. This is to ensure that anyone using the data understands its context and quality.
Check for Existing Data: Before you start collecting new geospatial data, you need to check GeoPlatform.gov. This is to see if there is already existing geospatial data from federal, state, local, or private sources that can meet your needs and is available for free. If such data is available, you should use it instead of gathering new data.
These rules help ensure that geospatial data is reliable, high-quality, and that resources are used efficiently.
Intangible Property
Title to intangible property acquired under this agreement vests upon acquisition with the Recipient, however Reclamation reserves the right to obtain, publish, reproduce, or otherwise use and authorize others to use for Federal purposes in accordance with 2 CFR Part 200.315.
Real Property
Real property, equipment, and intangible property that is acquired or improved with a Federal award must be held in trust by the recipient as trustee for the beneficiaries of the project or program under which the property was acquired or improved, per 2 CFR §200.316. Title to real property acquired or improved under a Federal award will vest upon acquisition in the recipient.
Except as otherwise provided by Federal statutes or by the Federal awarding agency, real property will be used for the originally authorized purpose as long as needed for that purpose, during which time the recipient must not dispose of or encumber its title or other interests. When real property is no longer needed for the originally authorized purpose, the recipient must obtain disposition instructions from the Federal awarding agency or pass- through entity.
Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)
Please note that any application submitted for funding under this NOFO may be subjected to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request (5 U.S.C. §552, as amended by P.L. No. 110-175), and as a result, may be made publicly available.
04/28/2026 Item No.8.
In response to a FOIA request for research data relating to published research findings produced under a Federal award that were used by the Federal Government in developing an agency action that has the force and effect of law, the Federal awarding agency must request, and the recipient must provide, within a reasonable time, the research data so that they can be made available to the public through the procedures established under the FOIA.
Requirements for Agricultural Operations under P.L. 111-11, Section 9504(a)(3)(B) In accordance with Section 9504(a)(3)(B) of P.L.111-11, financial assistance will not be awarded for an improvement to conserve irrigation water unless the recipient agrees to both of the following conditions:
1. Not to use any associated water savings to increase the total irrigated acreage of the recipient and
2. Not to otherwise increase the consumptive use of water in the operation of the recipient, as determined pursuant to the law of the state in which the operation of the recipient is located.
If the recipient is a Tribe, a financial assistance agreement will not be awarded unless the recipient agrees to not use any associated water savings to increase the total irrigated acreage or otherwise increase the consumptive use of water more than the water right of the Tribe, as determined by a court decree, a settlement, a law, or any combination of these authorities.
Title to Improvements P.L.111-11, Section 9504(a)(3)(D) If the project results in a modification to a portion of a federally owned facility that is integral to the existing operations of that facility, the Federal government shall continue to hold title to the facility and the improvements thereto. Title to improvements, P.L.111-11, Section 9504(a)(3)(D) that are not integral to existing water delivery operations shall reside with the project sponsor.
Operation and Maintenance Costs under P.L.111-11, Section 9504(a)(3)(E)(iv) The non-Federal share of the costs for operation and maintenance of any infrastructure improvement funded through an agreement awarded under this NOFO shall be 100 percent.
Improvements to Federal Facilities
Note that improvements to Federal facilities that are implemented through any project awarded funding must comply with additional requirements. Reclamation may also require additional reviews and approvals prior to award to ensure that any necessary easements, land use authorizations, or special permits can be approved and that the development will not impact or impair project operations or efficiency, consistent with the requirements of 43 CFR Section 429.

ITEM TITLE: Resolution No. 11597 – A Resolution Authorizing Staff to Submit Grant Applications for Funding for the Folsom Boulevard Pedestrian Overcrossing (POC) Project Through the Safe Streets for All (SS4A) Grant Program Administered by the U.S.
Department of Transportation and the Statewide Active
Transportation Program (ATP) Cycle 8 Administered by the California Department of Transportation
FROM: Parks and Recreation Department
RECOMMENDATION / CITY COUNCIL ACTION
The Parks & Recreation Department recommends that the City Council pass and adopt Resolution No. 11597 - A Resolution Authorizing Staff to Submit Grant Applications for Funding for the Folsom Boulevard Pedestrian Overcrossing (POC) Project Through the Safe Streets for All (SS4A) Grant Program Administered by the U.S. Department of Transportation and the Statewide Active Transportation Program (ATP) Cycle 8 Administered by the California Department of Transportation.
BACKGROUND / ISSUE
Folsom Boulevard is a major barrier in providing a safe crossing for bicyclists and pedestrians from Folsom’s over 50 miles of Class I trails to the regional trail network along Lake Natoma and the American River . A new Class I overcrossing would be a gateway to connect residents, workers, and visitors to a larger network of Class I trails in the region and would connect users to cities, communities, and neighborhoods between Folsom and downtown Sacramento. The proposed Folsom Boulevard Trail Overcrossing was identified as a hi gh-priority project in the City's Active Transportation Plan (ATP) as the best solution for trail users to safely cross four lanes of vehicle traffic and an active (and expanding) light rail line. While identified as a high priority, the ATP also noted that further study was required to better define the scope and limits of a potential overcrossing, as well as the design and construction cost estimates.
04/28/2026 Item No.9.
2 On November 8, 2022, the City Council approved Resolution No. 10945 to execute a professional services agreement with Dokken Enginee ring to develop a feasibility study for the proposed overcrossing. Between March and October of 2023, the Parks and Recreation Department, along with its consultant team, conducted extensive outreach on a range of possible overcrossing routes and designs cross ing Folsom Boulevard between the Glenn Station area and Parkshore Drive.
Based on public input, the range of routes and designs was narrowed down from four alternatives to two, and on January 23, 2024, the City Council approved Resolution No. 11160 to approve the North Alternative Alignment as the preferred alternative for the Folsom Boulevard Bicycle and Pedestrian Overcrossing project and to authorize staff to apply for grant funding for the project.
In 2018, staff applied for Active Transportation Plan (ATP) Cycle 4 grant funding for the project but were unsuccessful. Grant reviewers cited a lack of in -depth public outreach showing support for the project and more relevant details on the disadvantaged community benefits of the project.
To address the grant application shortc omings, staff sought funding for a Feasibility Study to bolster public outreach and disadvantaged community benefits.
In 2024, staff applied for ATP Cycle 7 grant funding for the project but were unsuccessful. The project grant application fell just short of receiving the requested funding for design/engineering and environmental clearance phas es. Reviewers cited wanting additional details on the type of people who would use this type of facility. Regional partners (SacRT / State Parks) and extensive public outreach were cited as positives, but the project still lacked a detailed connection to disadvantaged communities. After receiving feedback from the ATP Cycle 7 application, staff applied to SACOGs Technical Assistance Program, at no cost to the city, to help refine and improve a grant application for ATP Cycle 8.
The current Safe Streets For All grant applications are due May 26, 2026, and the Active Transportation Program Cycle 8 grants applications are due June 22, 2026.
POLICY / RULE
The City Council adopted Resolution No. 10405 Amending Financial Policies of the City of Folsom regarding grant administration on April 14, 2020. Section D – Intergovernmental Revenues, Paragraph A – Grant Applications states, “Grant application shall be the responsibility of the department seeking the grant. Grant applications that require an expenditure of funds by the City of less than or equal to the City Manager contract authority amount may be approved by the City Manager prior to submittal to the grantor. All other grant applications, including any requiring an ongoing commitment of resources or staff, shall be reviewed and approved by the City Council prior to submittal. In circumstances where it is not possible for the City Council to approve the grant application prior to submittal, the City Manager may approve the application, subject to the City Council ratification as soon as practicable to do so.
Requests to the City Council or the City Manager for approval of a grant application shall identify anticipated long-term maintenance and/or renovation costs, required City matching funds, and additional personnel that may be needed if the grant is awarded for a capital project. Concerning
04/28/2026 Item No.9.
3 grants for staffing, the source of funds for long-term staffing after the expiration of the grant shall also be identified in the request for approval of the grant application.
All grant applications on behalf of the City shall be reviewed by the Finance Director before submittal to the City Council or the grantor.”
ANALYSIS
According to the SS4A Grant Program guidelines, eligible projects for Implementation Grants typically focus on infrastructure, operational, and behavioral interventions aimed at eliminating roadway fatalities and serious injuries. Project categories encouraged under the program include:
• Improved pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure, such as sidewalk gap closures, curb extensions, high- visibility crosswalks, pedestrian refuge islands, and protected bicycle lanes.
• Traffic calming measures that reduce vehicle speeds and improve safety for vulnerable road users, including road diets, raised intersections, and neighborhood traffic management features.
• Intersection safety improvements, such as roundabouts, protected left -turn phases, signal upgrades including leading pedestrian intervals, and improved sight distance. • Enhancements to promote safe speeds, including automated speed enforcement technology (where authorized), speed feedback signage, and corridor -wide speed management strategies.
• Safe routes to school improvements, focusing on improved pedestrian and bicycle access to educational facilities.
• Improvements to transit access and safety, including better pedestrian infrastructure around transit stops and integration of transit priority features into roadway designs. • Lighting improvements for pedestrian crossings and corridors with nighttime crash histories.
• Systemic safety analysis projects, involving data -driven identification of high- risk locations and proactive interventions even where crash histories are lower.
Active Transportation Program (ATP) Cycle 8 (2027) aims to fund projects increasing walking/biking trips, safety, and greenhouse gas reductions. Criteria prioritize projects benefiting disadvantaged communities, demonstrating high safety improvements, and proving project deliverability. Applications are graded on alignment with state goals, including public health and, in some areas, housing element compliance.
Key elements for Cycle 8 include:
• Focus Areas: Increased biking/walking, enhanced safety (reducing injuries/fatalities), and public health improvements.
• Disadvantaged Communities: At least 25% of regional funds must benefit these communities.
• Project Types: Infrastructure, non-infrastructure (education/encouragement), and plans. • Deliverability: Rigorous requirements for cost estimates, schedules, and maps in the project application.
04/28/2026 Item No.9.
4 • Regional Requirements: Specific guidelines (e.g., SCAG/SACOG) often require high- scoring projects to align with local regional transportation plans and, in some cases (e.g., MTC), require certified housing elements.
City staff from both the Parks and Recreation and Public Works Departments evaluated candidate projects using the City's Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP), Capital Improvement Program (CIP), and Active Transportation Plan (ATP) to identify projects that best align with the grant program’s focus areas, and it was determined that the Folsom Boulevard Pedestrian Overcrossing Project was the most appropriate project for the SS4A and ATP Cycle 8 applications.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no additional financial impact associated with submitting the grant applications. Grant application assistance will be done with Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc., through a prior - approved contract.
If awarded, the SS4A grant would require a minimum local match of 20% of the total project or planning cost. The ATP grant would not require a minimum local match. The exact match requirement and funding amounts will depend on the final application scope and award conditions.
The local match would be determined through eligible local funding sources and brought back to Council at a future date for acceptance of the grant and approval of the award.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Submission of a grant application is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and does not require environmental review. Should the City be awarded funding, any projects resulting from the grant would undergo appropriate environm ental review prior to implementation.

BACKGROUND / ISSUE
The Utilities Department identifies projects that are critical to ensuring the delivery of adequate and high- quality water supply to all water customers through water master plans, ongoing condition assessment programs, and regulatory changes. Through these efforts, Cit y staff identified the Water Treatment Plant Caustic Soda System Project as a priority project.
This project involves removal of existing, decommissioned steel tanks and associated piping, modifications to the existing tank containment wall, installation of new caustic feed tank and new caustic containment area, installation of new caustic feed pumps and caustic feed pipeline, removal of existing lime feed piping and abandoned aqua ammonia tank, miscellaneous civil sitework including AC pavement and concrete replacement associated with the Work, and associated electrical, instrumentation, and controls.
These resolutions will accept the request from American Integrated Services, Inc. to withdraw their bid and will authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with BWD Construction, Inc. dba BWD General Engineering Contractors for construction of the Water Treatment Plant Caustic Soda Storage and Feed System Project for a not-to-exceed amount of $2,186,200 including a 10% contingency in the amount of $218,620, and an agreement with Inferrera Construction Management Group, Inc. for construction management and inspection services for a not-to-exceed amount of $375,285.
POLICY / RULE
In accordance with Chapter 2.36 of the Folsom Municipal Code, supplies, equipment, services, and construction with a value of $77,426 or greater shall be awarded by City Council.
ANALYSIS
i. Construction:
The City completed plans and specifications for the Water Treatment Plant Caustic Soda Storage and Feed System Project and publicly advertised in the Sacramento Bee for bids on February 2, 2026. In addition, the City provided these documents to www.publicpurchase.com and www.virtual-bid.com, which are picked up by several area builders’ exchanges, and posted information on the City of Folsom’s website. The Utilities Department received the following bids on March 3, 2026, for construction of the Water Treatment Plant Caustic Soda Storage and Feed System Project:
Contractor Bid Amount
04/28/2026 Item No.10.
3 American Integrated Services, Inc. $1,794,800.00*
BWD Construction, Inc. dba BWD General Engineering Contractors $2,186,200.00 TNT Industrial Contactors, Inc. $2,320,450.00
Auburn Constructors LLC $2,382,300.00
Swierstok Enterprise Inc. dba Pro Builders $2,388,000.00 GSE Construction Co. Inc $2,388,600.00
Table 1: Construction Bids
*Bid determined as non-responsive due to inclusion of non-approved alternative pump package
Upon review, the bid from American Integrated Services, Inc. was shown to include an alternative pump package as part of their bid. The required pre-approved pump package was identified in the technical specifications of the project manual of the bid documents. The alternative pump package proposed by American Integrated Services, Inc. does not meet the project technical specifications and is not approved by the city for use at the Water Treatment Plant. In consultation with the City Attorney’s office, the bid from Amer ican Integrated Services, Inc. was determined to be non- responsive.
BWD Construction, Inc., dba BWD General Engineering Contractors , was therefore determined to be the lowest responsible and responsive bidder who meets the requirements and specifications set forth in the invitation for bids.
This resolution will authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with BWD Construction, Inc. dba BWD General Engineering Contractors for Construction of the Water Treatment Plant Caustic Soda Storage and Feed System Project for a not-to-exceed amount of $2,186,200.
ii. Construction Management and Inspection:
In January 2025, the Utilities Department completed a pre-qualification process for consultants for construction management services for water and wastewater projects. The firms Albat, Inferrera Construction Management (ICM) Group, Inc., and Psomas were among a group of firms selected to provide these services for this type of project through this previously completed pre - qualification process.
On November 13, 2025, the City requested proposals from these consultants to provide construction management services consisting of full-time resident engineer services, full-time on- site inspection, project schedule tracking, coordination of project submittals, coordination with the other on- going City construction projects, labor compliance review, customer coordination, materials testing, and overall owner representation throughout construction of the Water Treatment Plant Caustic Soda Storage and Feed System Project. On December 12, 2025, Utilities Department staff received proposals from Albat, ICM Group, Inc., and Psomas.
Based on the scope of work assumptions described above, Utilities Department staff assumed a maximum of 1,998 hours of work would be required for the duration of the project. This includes inspection time during regular working hours, nightwork inspection hours, resident engineer time, and administration support time for the project. These assumptions are based on previous City
04/28/2026 Item No.10.
4 projects of similar size and scope. Each consultant had the opportunity to adjust hours based on the scope of work provided and is outlined in Table 3 below.
The proposals were evaluated by three Utilities Department staff members for technical evaluation prior to reviewing project costs. The proposals were reviewed and scored for project understanding, project team qualifications and experience, recent relevant project experience, and understanding of the scope of work. The technical evaluations were scored as shown in Table 2.

04/28/2026 Item No.10.
5 This resolution will authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with Inferrera Construction Management Group, Inc. for Construction Management and Inspection services for the Water Treatment Plant Caustic Soda Storage and Feed System Project for a not -to-exceed amount of $375,285.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The current Lime Feed System at the Water Treatment Plant (WTP) can treat 30 million gallons a day (MGD) with a current overall WTP capacity of 50 MGD. The new Caustic Soda Feed System will have the capacity to treat the maximum 50 MGD. Therefore, project funding is split 60/40 between the Water Operating Fund (Fund 520) and the Water Capital Fund (Fund 521).
i. Construction:
The Utilities Department recommends that the contract be awarded to the lowest responsible, responsive bidder, BWD Construction, Inc. dba BWD General Engineering Contractors for $2,186,200 with the project budgeted for this agreement in the amount of $2,404,820 which will include a 10% contingency in the amount of $218,620.
The Water Treatment Plant Caustic Soda Storage and Feed System Project (WA2401) is included in the Fiscal Year 2025- 26 Capital Improvement Plan with a total project budget of $3,222,500 with $1,933,500 in the Water Operating Fund (Fund 520) and $1,289,000 in the Water Capital Fund (Fund 521).
Sufficient funds in the amount of $1,311,720 are budgeted and available in the Water Operating Fund (Fund 520) and $874,480 the Water Capital Fund (Fund 521).
ii. Construction Management and Inspection:
The Utilities Department recommends that the contract be awarded to Inferrera Construction Management Group, Inc. for $375,285.
The Water Treatment Plant Caustic Soda Storage and Feed System Project (WA2401) is included in the Fiscal Year 2025- 26 Capital Improvement Plan with a total project budget of $3,222,500 with $1,933,500 from the Water Operating Fund (Fund 520) and $1,289,000 from the Water Capital Fund (Fund 521).
Planned project costs to date , including design, advertisement, construction, and construction management and inspection services total approximately $3,257,500, with $1,954,500 from the Water Operating Fund (Fund 520) and $1,303,000 from the Water Capital Fund (Fund 521).
An appropriation is therefore needed for the costs of construction management and inspection services. Staff is requesting an appropriation in the amount $21,000 in the Water Operating Fund (Fund 520) and $14,000 in the Water Capital Fund (Fund 521) for this agreement.

RECOMMENDATION / CITY COUNCIL ACTION
The Public Works Department recommends that the City Council pass and adopt Resolution No. 11600 - A Resolution Authorizing Applications for Grant Funding from the Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG) 2026 Federal Funding Programs , Authorizing the City Manager to Submit City of Folsom SACOG 2026 Federal Funding Program Application Priorities, and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute All Grant Documents and Timely Project Delivery Requirements.
BACKGROUND / ISSUE
The Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG) is the metropolitan planning organization (MPO) for the greater Sacramento region, which is a six -county region including Sacramento, Yolo, Sutter, Yuba, Placer, and El Dorado counties. SACOG is also the transportation planning agency for the four -county sub-region of Sacramento, Yolo, Sutter, and Yuba counties (El Dorado County and Placer County both have their own transportation planning agencies).
The SACOG plays a central role in funding transportation improvements throughout the region by administering Surface Transportation Block Grant (STBG) and Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) funds across three programs. For the first time, the 2026 funding cycle includes
04/28/2026 Item No.11.
2 all six counties - El Dorado, Placer, Sacramento, Sutter, Yolo, and Yuba - marking a more comprehensive, region-wide approach.
This competitive process now establishes performance -based funding targets for each county to ensure resources are distributed in line with regional priorities and measurable outcomes. Through its three core programs - Next Generation Solutions & Clean Air, System Performance, and System Preservation - SACOG directs federal funds to projects that improve mobility, enhance safety, support sustainability, and advance equity.
Project eligibility for the funding programs requires the projects to be either listed in the 2025 Blueprint or fit within 2025 Blueprint lump -sum project categories, including but not limited to road maintenance and reconstruction, transit vehicle replacements, operational improvements, Intelligent Transportation Systems, and bicycle and pedestrian investments.
Program Structure
The Federal Funding Cycle is organized into three distinct programs that help direct federal transportation dollars to the region's highest priorities in the six-county region.
Each program supports different types of projects that collectively aim to improve air quality, enhance mobility, and keep our transportation system in good working condition.
• Next Generation Solutions & Clean Air (CMAQ)
o Goal of Program: Reduce emissions & advance clean mobility o Funds projects like:
▪ High-capacity transit improvements
▪ Zero-emission vehicles & charging/fueling stations
▪ Bikeways, trails & Complete Streets
▪ Traffic flow & smart signal upgrades
▪ Carpool/vanpool, micromobility & clean travel programs
• System Performance (STBG)
o Goal of Program: Improve how the transportation system functions o Funds projects like:
▪ Roadway and safety improvements
▪ Transit vehicle and facility upgrades
▪ EV charging infrastructure
▪ New bike/ped connections & grade separations
▪ Mobility hubs
▪ Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS)
• System Preservation (STBG)
o Goal of Program: Maintain and extend the life of key roadways o Funds pavement maintenance & resurfacing on major arterials and collectors that support:
▪ Transit routes
04/28/2026 Item No.11.
3 ▪ Freight and goods movement
▪ Equity-priority communities
▪ Emergency/evacuation routes
▪ Key destinations and commercial corridors
Available Funding for 2026 Program
SACOG intends to program three years of funding in the 2026 Program covering Federal Fiscal Years (FFYs) 2028 through 2030. The current estimated total available funding for the six-county region for this cycle is approximately $203 million.
• CMAQ Funds: Approximately $92 million
• STBG Funds: Approximately $111 million
The revenue target ranges available for each of the six-county regions are shown below and reflect the range of available federal transportation funding for the funding round; however, the amounts are not guaranteed, are not for individual jurisdictions, and are not program specific. These targets are intended to assist sponsors in making informed decisions regarding grant application amounts and to address what constitutes a reasonable funding request.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no direct financial impact associated with this action at this point. Should the City be awarded grant funding for any of these projects, the City would be required to provide local matching funds of approximately 11 .47 percent of the amount granted. Once any of the projects are awarded grant funding, staff will return to Council to identify the source of the required match and accept the grant if approved.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The proposed action (submitting grant applications) is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5), as it constitutes an administrative activity that will not result in a direc t or indirect physical change in the environment.

SUBJECT: Resolution No. 11602 - A Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Consultant Services Agreement with Dewberry Engineers, Inc. for Construction Management and Inspection Services in the amount of $57,376.80 from the Drainage Capital Improvement Fund (Fund 448) for the Bidwell Street Storm Drain Replacement Project, Project No. 2499, 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. 11602 – A Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Consultant Services Agreement with Dewberry Engineers, Inc. for Construction Management and Inspection Services in the amount of $57,376.80 from the Drainage Capital Improvement Fund (Fund 448) for the Bidwell Street Storm Drain Replacement Project, Project No. 2499, and Appropriation of Funds.
BACKGROUND / ISSUE
The City of Folsom currently owns and maintains a storm drain system along Bidwell Street that collects runoff from portions of Riley Street, Comstock Drive, Wool Street, and Decatur Street, as well as adjacent residential and commercial private properties . The storm drain line along Bidwell Street consists of an 18-inch pipe running north to south, joining with a second 18-inch pipe at the intersection of Bidwell Street and Decatur Street, and connecting east. Most segments of the pipe are corrugated metal pipe (CMP).
In 2020, during routine storm drain inspections, the Public Works Department determined that a section of storm drain line along Bidwell Street south of Wool Street had never been
04/28/2026 Item No.12.
2 constructed, and the line was plugged. During rain events, accumulated runoff bubbles up out of a slotted manhole lid and into the adjacent unpaved roadside ditch. Over the years, this has caused erosion along the edge of the pavement and carried sediment into the next downstream drain inlet located at Decatur Street.
On October 25, 2022, the City Council approved Resolution No. 10937, authorizing a Green Means Go grant application under the Capital category for the Bidwell Street Storm Drain Replacement Project to address the identified issue. The City received a full grant award from the Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG), and on April 25, 2023, the City Council approved Resolution No. 11027 to accept the grant. Acceptance of the $305,000 fully funded Capital grant award provides funding for the replacement of approximately 500 linear feet of the 18-inch storm drain line, associated manholes, and additional curb and gutter along the length from Wool Street to Decatur Street to prevent any future erosion.
The project was originally advertised for construction in June 2025, and the City only received one bid. Upon review, staff did not recommend awarding the project given the lack of additional bids and some discrepancies with noticing through the original bid platform, and on August 12, 2025, City Council approved Resolution No. 11448 to reject bids, with the intent for staff to immediately readvertise the project on another bidding platform.
The project was readvertised for construction in August 2025, and the City received several bids. On October 14, 2025, City Council approved Resolution No. 11472 , awarding the construction contract to Imperial Construction & Engineering, Inc. Prior to proceeding with construction of the Bidwell Street Storm Drain Replacement Project, the City solicited for construction management services from multiple qualified engineering consultants to assist City staff with managing construction of the project.
POLICY / RULE
Section 2.36. 080, Award of Contracts of the Folsom Municipal Code states, in part, that contracts for supplies, equipment, services , and constructio n with an estimated value of $77,426 or greater shall be awarded by City C ouncil. While the contract value is below the adjusted threshold for City Council award per Section 2.36.080, Council action is required to authorize the appropriation of additional funds into the project budget.
ANALYSIS
City staff received proposals from qualified engineering consultants in response to a solicitation for construction management services for the Bidwell Street Drainage Improvements Project. The Public Works Department has evaluated the proposals and recommends the contract be awarded to Dewberry Engineers, Inc.
Staff will use the City’s standard Consulting Services Agreement in a form acceptable to the City Attorney.
04/28/2026 Item No.12.
3 FINANCIAL IMPACT
The Bidwell Street Storm Drain Replacement Project, Project No. 2499, is included in the Fiscal Year 2025 -26 Capital Improvement Plan with a project budget of $305,000 in the Drainage Capital Improvement Fund (Fund 448), which consists of $300,000 of Green Means Go grant funds. The grant program does not require a local match contribution.
The construction contract with Imperial Construction & Engineering, Inc. was authorized for $233,000, with the total budget for the agreement in the amount of $256,300, which included a 10% contingency of $23,300 for potential change orders.
If approved, the contract with Dewberry Engineers, Inc. would be authorized in the amount of $57,376.80. Staff is requesting an appropriation in the Drainage Capital Improvement Fund (Fund 448) in the amount of $8,676.80 to cover the contract amount over the remaining project budget amount of $48,700.
If approved, the total project budget for the Bidwell Street Storm Drain Replacement Project, Project 2499, would increase to $313,676.80. Sufficient funds are available in the Drainage Capital Improvement Fund (Fund 448) for the appropriation.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This project is a rehabilitation of existing infrastructure and, therefore, is categorically exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15301.

AGENDA SECTION:
Consent Calendar
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 11605- A Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute an Agreement with Axon Enterprise, Inc. for the Renewal of Police Camera and Technology Lease
FROM: Police Department
RECOMMENDATION / CITY COUNCIL ACTION
Staff recommends the City Counci l pass and adopt Resolution No. 11605- A Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute an Agreement with Axon Enterprise, Inc. for the Renewal of Police Camera and Technology Lease.
BACKGROUND / ISSUE
In 2021, Council approved (Resolution 10647) a 5 year lease for Body-worn cameras (BWC) and in-car cameras (ICC) to provide officers with a reliable and compact tool to systematically and automatically record their field observations and encounters. Taser electronic control devices were included in this contract. The cameras have proven successful for documentation purposes, to include interactions with victims, witnesses, and others during police -public encounters, arrests, and critical incidents. Additionally, body-worn cameras can be used for training and evaluation purposes, allowing the police department to identify and address performance deficiencies with their officers.
The renewal of this contract to extend for another 5 year period increases the costs by about 10%. In addition to the existing products and software, the new contract includes analytical cloud-based software to better observe officers in the field and provide supervisors with tools for oversight over field activity. Additionally, a virtual reality training is platform designed for reinforcing deescalation techniques and proper use of force will be included.
POLICY / RULE
This purchase is exempt from competitive bids due to Axon being the sole manufacturer, distributor, and retailer of all TASER brand products.
04/28/2026 Item No.13.
2 Section 2.36.080 of the Folsom Municipal Code states, in part, that contracts for supplies, equipment, services, and construction with an estimated value of $7 7,426 or greater shall be awarded by the City Council.
ANALYSIS
Axon is the manufacturer of TASER, the electronic control device (ECD) deployed by Folsom Police Officers for more than a decade and the ECD of choice for law enforcement agencies across the nation. Axon’s firmly established relationship with law enforcement provided them the opportunity to move into the in-car camera (ICC) and body-worn camera (BWC) industry.
As technology advanced, Axon began integrating all three technologies, and they now integrate additional software based tools to manage the inventory, and oversee the use of the tools.
The Axon products have proven reliable, are accepted and integrated with the Sacramento County District Attorney’s Office and the infrastructure is already in place. Staff recommends renewing the contract with Axon to secure costs for the next 5 years.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
If approved, the renewal agreement with Axon Enterprise for the lease of software services, body-worn and in-car cameras, and tasers would be for a five -year term with a total amount not to exceed $1,705,343. The proposed renewal reflects an annual increase of $31,000 compared to the current agreement.The agreement would take effect in FY 2026-27 and will continue to be funded through the General Fund (Fund 010) with appropriations to be requested annually as part of the City’s budget process.

AGENDA SECTION:
Public Hearing
SUBJECT: Natoma Station Maintenance Assessment District No. 2025-2 Public/Protest Hearing and Ballot Proceedings; Direction to Staff to Tally Ballots and Return with Results at the Next City Council Meeting
FROM: Parks and Recreation Department
RECOMMENDATION / CITY COUNCIL ACTION
Staff recommends that the City Council conduct a public hearing to receive testimony and to allow for the submittal of ballots before the close of the public hearing.
Staff recommends following the close of the public hearing, the item be continued to the next City Council meeting scheduled for May 12, 2026 , so the City Clerk can tabulate t he ballots on Wednesday, April 29, 2026, at 9 a.m. in the Large Public Works Conference Room at City Hall, 50 Natoma Street, Folsom, CA 95630. This ballot tabulation is open to the public. Results from the tabulation will be presented at the May 12, 2026, City Council meeting.
BACKGROUND / ISSUE
On J une 24 , 2025, the City Council approved Resolution No. 11403 - A Resolution Initiating Proceedings for the Formation of a Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District to be known as the Natoma Station Maintenance Assessment District No. 2025-2.
On February 10, 2026, the City Council approved Resolution No. 11548 - A Resolution Approving the Preliminary Engineers Report, Declaring the Intention to Order the Formation of the Natoma Station Maintenance Assessment District No. 2025-2, to Levy and Collect Assessments, to Provide Notice of Public Hearing and Direct the Mailing of Assessment Ballots Within the Proposed District in the City of Folsom.
04/28/2026 Item No.14.
2 Pursuant to Government Code Section 53753, ballots were mailed to all current property owners within the proposed district.
Under the provisions of Proposition 218, a public hearing must be held on the levy of new assessments at least 45 days after notice of the proposed assessment was mailed to record owners of each parcel in the new district. The public hearing was set in Resolution No. 11548 on February 10, 2026, and published in the Folsom Telegraph on April 17, 2026. The public hearing was set for April 28, 202 6, at 6:30 p.m. in the City Council Chambers, 50 Natoma Street, Folsom, California 95630.
POLICY / RULE
The City Council is required to approve, or modify and approve, the Engineer's Report as part of the formation process pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (Streets and Highways Code Section 22586). The City Council shall comply with the hearing procedures pursuant to Section 22588 of the Streets and Highways Code.
Pursuant to Section 22605(d) of the Streets and Highways Code, the original Natoma Station Landscaping and Lighting District will be consolidated with the Natoma Station Maintenance Assessment District No. 2025-2 if a majority is in favor.
Pursuant to Section 22611 of the Streets and Highways Code, all assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and installments of the original Natoma Station Landscaping and Lighting District shall be transferred to, and assumed by, the Natoma Station Maintenance Assessment District No. 2025- 2 for the continued maintenance and servicing of the improvements.
ANALYSIS
The Natoma Station Landscaping and Lighting District was formed by Resolution No. 3024 on June 18, 1990, to maintain improvements within the District. These improvements include landscaping and associated improvements along Iron Point Road, Blue Ravine Roa d, Turnpike Drive, Black Diamond Drive, and Natoma Station Drive, as well as the subdivision’s streetlights, landscape lighting, irrigation systems, open space, monument entry signage, soundwalls, mini - parks, and art monuments. This District was formed pri or to Proposition 218 and, therefore, does not have an escalator built into the annual rate.
There are 1,272 single-family dwelling units within the District, and it is one of the older Districts in the city. In early 2025, the District pursued the Proposition 218 reassessment process; however, the resulting ballot measure did not receive suffici ent support, with voters opposing the assessment. The District is increasingly unable to keep pace with rising operational and maintenance costs, which have placed significant strain on its financial resources. The District maintains the aforementioned improvements along the frontages and medians of Iron Point Road, Blue Ravine Road, Turnpike Drive, Black Diamond Drive, and Natoma Station Drive. In addition to maintaining these areas, the District is responsible for servicing costs for irrigation, water, an d electricity to the street and landscape lights.
Revenue from the existing assessment (approximately $170,000 annually) is allocated yearly to maintain the District’s features. The existing per-unit rate of $91.70 has not been increased since
04/28/2026 Item No.14.
3 it was established over 36 years ago. Approximately 37% of the budget currently covers scheduled and unscheduled landscape maintenance; 9% to streetlight maintenance and supplies; 23% to water and electricity; and 31% to incidental cost (non -landscape contract services, electrical repairs, vandalism response/repairs, hazard tree removal, sidewalk repair, yearly backflow testing, preparation of Engineer’s Reports, publications/mailings, staff, overhead, county auditor fee). The existing revenue from collec ted assessments has been unable to fund the expected day -to-day unscheduled costs, such as irrigation repairs and plant/tree replacements, as well as not being able to set aside funds for life-cycle costs in the District.
The primary objective of forming a new District to replace the existing District is to specifically provide the level of service originally intended, address deferred maintenance of the improvements within the District, plan for life -cycle replacements and repairs for years into the future, and provide for an annual inflationary adjustment as needed. Such deferred items include outdated and un-centralized irrigation systems, replacement of missing landscaping, addressing tree care, and implementing water conservation measures such as replacing dead/dying trees and shrubs with water-wise plantings and LED streetlight retrofits. Should the new Landscaping and Lighting District be formed, it is proposed to complete many of the deferred maintenance improvement s over the first few years, as well as embark on the phased replacement plan for the older landscape areas.
Staff conducted community outreach meetings on May 20, 2025, and May 28, 2025, to inform property owners of the results of the failed assessment and to solicit input regarding potential next steps, including interest in initiating a subsequent reassessment in accordance with Proposition 218. Based on feedback from community outreach meetings and subsequent communications, a majority of participating property owners supported pursuing another assessment effort. In response to this demonstrated interest, staf f initiated a reassessment process in accordance with the requirements of Proposition 218 and applicable state law. As part of the process to form a new assessment District, staff initiated a public outreach program for the Natoma Station community with two public meetings that were held on January 22, 2026, and January 29, 2026. The intent of the meetings was to discuss the option proposed to address the District’s financial condition and develop a viable option that will ultimately be voted on and approved (or denied) by the property owners within the District. Staff presented an option for the District utilizing the trips method of apportionment. This proposal would create a new District that consolidates and replaces the existing District. This new Distr ict would cover the regular maintenance and servicing of the District assets, cover the deficit, address all deferred maintenance, and provide some enhancements. There was a thoughtful discussion to ensure those in attendance had their questions answered. As a result of these two public meetings, those in attendance were supportive of the proposed option for the District; as such, it was the option that appeared on the ballot for the entire community to vote on.
The property owners of Natoma Station Landscaping and Lighting District were sent a ballot to vote on the proposal to form a new assessment district in the middle of February 2026, meeting the 45-day period for the district property owners to consider the proposed assessment. At the public hearing, ballots will be collected by the close of the Public Hearing. Ballots are scheduled to be tabulated on Wednesday, April 29, 2026 , at 9 a.m. in the Large Public Works Conference Room located at 50 Natoma Street, Folsom, CA 95630. This tabulation is open to the Public. After
04/28/2026 Item No.14.
4 confirmation of the ballot tabulation, results from the tabulation will be made public by posting on the City website located at www.folsom.ca.us, the afternoon of April 29, 2026. Results will be presented at the City Council meeting scheduled for May 12, 2026.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The maximum assessment amount is calculated as the total cost of improvements, less the portion attributable to general benefit in accordance with Proposition 218. The general benefit of $53,617.44, determined to be 15.095% of total improvement costs, includes benefits to the broader community, including Sheldon Park and Mann Park. In addition to the funding for this general benefit portion, the City will contribute an additional $30,492.10 annually from the General Fund (Fund 010) to further offset general benefit costs associated with Sheldon Park and Mann Park.
The total maximum amount to be assessed in Fiscal Year 2026 -2027 is $527,371.40. The remaining costs of the District will be funded through the assessment and will directly benefit properties within the District boundaries.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The formation of a financing District, maintaining and servicing existing landscaping and lighting improvements, is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act. No environmental review is required.

Public Hearing
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 11539 - A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Folsom Declaring Results of Majority Protest Proceedings and Modifying the Assessment Rate of the Folsom Tourism Business Improvement District (Continued from February 24, 2026)
FROM: City Manager's Office
RECOMMENDATION / CITY COUNCIL ACTION
Staff Recommends the City Council hold final public hearing, declare results of majority protest proceedings, and, if no majority protest exists, adopt Resolution No. 11539 - A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Folsom Declaring Results of Majority Protest Proceedings and Modifying the Assessment Rate of the Folsom Tourism Business Improvement District.
BACKGROUND / ISSUE
TOURISM BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT DISTRICTS
Tourism Business Improvement Districts (TBIDs) utilize the efficiencies of private sector operation in the market -based promotion of tourism. These special assessment districts allow assessed business owners to organize their efforts to increase tourism. Business owners within the TBID fund the TBID, and those funds are used to provide services and facilities that are desired by and benefit the assessed businesses within the TBID.
Benefit assessment districts have been used successfully in Folsom as well as other destination areas throughout the state to improve tourism and drive additional room nights to assessed businesses.
TBID benefits:
• Funds cannot be diverted for other government programs; • They are customized to fit the needs of each destination;
04/28/2026 Item No.15.
2 • They allow for a wide range of services and improvements, including, but not limited to, destination marketing, tourism promotion, and sales lead generation; • They are designed, created, and governed by those who will pay the assessment with oversight by the city; and
• They provide a stable funding source for tourism promotion.
FOLSOM TOURISM BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT (FTBID)
The City of Folsom established the FTBID in 2012 via the adoption of Resolution No. 9071, pursuant to the Parking and Business Improvement Area Law of 1989 (California Streets and Highway Code § 36500 et seq.) (89 Law) and Ordinance No. 1171 (which codifie d Folsom Municipal Code Chapter 3.100). The FTBID is a benefit assessment district that provides specific benefit directly to the Folsom lodging businesses that are assessed that is not provided to those not paying the assessment. The boundaries of the FTB ID are the boundaries of the City of Folsom.
The FTBID includes all lodging businesses with twenty or more rooms, existing and in the future, within the boundaries of the City of Folsom.
Resolution No. 9071 established the FTBID with an assessment rate of 4% to be levied for a term of 20 years, commencing on January 1, 2013 and ending on December 13, 2032. Assessments are levied on lodging businesses with twenty or more rooms, on the basis of benefit.
PROPOSED MODIFICATION
Folsom Tourism and Economic Development Corporation (TEDCorp), serving as the Owners’ Association for FTBID, has recommended to the lodging business owners to pursue modification of the FTBID in order to expand a revenue source devoted to marketing Folsom as a tourist, meeting, and event destination and support facility- related investments such as infrastructure improvements. The 89 Law and Ordinance No. 1171 allow the Folsom City Council (Council) to modify the FTBID in accordance generally with Section 36540 of the 89 Law.
TEDCorp staff evaluated lodging assessments (both through TBIDs and Transient Occupancy Tax) in nearby jurisdictions. This information is included in Attachment 2, and indicates that an increase of four percent (4%) will not affect the competitiveness of Folsom lodging against other lodging choices in the region.
To initiate the modification process, TEDCorp requested that Council increase the FTBID assessment rates. The proposed modified assessment rate is eight percent (8%) of gross room rental revenue, increasing the current rate of four percent (4%) of gross room rental revenue. The additional four percent (4%) assessment will be dedicated to improvements, including but not limited to development of facilities that attract overnight visitation to businesses paying the TBID assessment, infrastructure improvements, and marketing and development efforts directly related to the facilities and associated visitor growth. The increased assessments will provide specific benefit to the Folsom lodging businesses that are assessed that it does not provide to those not charged.
To continue the modification process, Council adopted a Resolution of Intention to Modify the FTBID (Attachment 3). Since the adoption of the Resolution of Intention to Modify the FTBID,
04/28/2026 Item No.15.
3 TEDCorp as the Owners’ Association for the FTBID , has continued to conduct outreach with lodging businesses in the boundaries of the existing FTBID. Council continued the public hearing that was previously scheduled for January 27, 2026 and February 24, 2026 to April 28, 2026, to allow TEDCorp to continue outreach and discussions with lodging businesses and community members.
Based on feedback received from the lodging businesses that will be subject to the proposed increased assessment, TEDCorp will establish the FTBID Capital Improvement Committee (Committee) and adopt a Governance Policy (Attachment 4). The Committee shall be comprised of representatives from assessed hotels, TEDCorp, and the City of Folsom that shall direct use of the additional revenue from the supplemental four percent (4%) assessment, if adopted. The City will require an amendment to the agreement with the Owners’ Association to incorporate these requirements and ensure they are in place if the proposed modification is adopted.
To complete the modification process, Council must adopt this Resolution of Modification.
Holding the final hearing, declaring results of the majority protest proceedings, and adopting the Resolution Modifying the Assessment Rate will result in the modification of the Folsom Tourism Business Improvement District (FTBID). The businesses within the FTBID shall be specifically benefitted by the activities and improvements funded by the assessments.
POLICY / RULE
City of Folsom Ordinance No. 1171, codified as Folsom Municipal Code Chapter 3.100, establishes procedures for forming, modifying, and governing parking and business improvement districts supplemental to the 89 Law.
ANALYSIS
FTBID MODIFICATION PROCESS
October 24, 2025 WRITTEN REQUEST (COMPLETED)
TEDCorp, serving as Owners’ Association, provided a letter requesting modification of the FTBID. This written request allowed the Council to initiate proceedings for FTBID modification at the November 12, 2025 meeting.
November 12, 2025 RESOLUTION OF INTENTION TO MODIFY FTBID (COMPLETED) Upon the written request of the Owners’ Association, the City may propose to modify the FTBID.
NOTICE (COMPLETED)
A copy of the Notice and Resolution of Intention to Modify shall be mailed by first class mail to the owners of all lodging businesses within the FTBID. Mailing the notice begins a mandatory forty-five (45) day period in which owners may protest FTBID modification.
04/28/2026 Item No.15.
4 January 13, 2026 PUBLIC MEETING (COMPLETED)
Allow public testimony on the proposed modification of the FTBID. No Council action required.
January 27, 2026 PUBLIC HEARING (CONTINUED)
Council continued the public hearing on the proposed modifications to the FTBID.
February 24, 2026 PUBLIC HEARING (CONTINUED)
Council continued the public hearing on the proposed modifications to the FTBID.
April 28, 2026 PUBLIC HEARING
Hold a public hearing on the proposed modification to the FTBID.
If written protests are received from the owners of businesses in the modified FTBID which will pay fifty percent (50%) or more of the assessments proposed to be levied, and protests are not withdrawn so as to reduce the protests to less than fifty percent (50%), no further proceedings to modify the proposed assessment against such businesses shall be taken.
If the Council, following the public hearing and a determination that no majority protest exists , decides to modify the FTBID as described in the Resolution of Intention to Modify, the Council shall adopt a R esolution Modifying the Assessment Rate.
June 1, 2026 Target date for FTBID assessment modification to take effect. City will require an amendment to its agreement with the Owners’ Association to reflect the Committee and Governance Policy requirements before the modification takes effect.
Assuming no majority protest at this Public Hearing, the Council could adopt a resolution of modification on the same night. The increased rate and list of authorized expenditures of the FTBID would be effective as soon as practicable following the modific ation proceedings for the FTBID, which effective date is estimated for June 1, 2026. Before the modification takes effect, the City will require an amendment to its agreement with the Owners’ Association to include requirements for the Committee and the Governance Policy, as requested by the lodging businesses that will be subject to the increased assessment.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
None immediately. In FY24/25, the FTBID assessments generated approximately $1,248,000 in revenue. The proposed modifications would increase the assessment rate from 4% of gross room rental revenue to 8% of gross room rental revenue. In addition, because the FTBID assessments levied on lodging businesses are intended to increase room rentals on lodging business being assessed within the City, there may be an increase in transient occupancy tax and sales tax collections.
04/28/2026 Item No.15.
5 ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This action is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it is not considered a project pursuant to CEQA Guidelines sections 15378(b)(4) and (5). See also CEQA Guidelines section 15002(d).

Staff recommends the City Council conduct the public hearing and adopt Resolution No.11604- A Resolution Replacing Resolution No. 11364, 11365 and 11371 and Enacting the Annual Inflationary Adjustment for City User Fees
BACKGROUND / ISSUE
In May 2006, the Folsom City Council adopted Resolution No. 7815 which established a new user fee schedule for selected city services and also adopted an annual inflationary adjustment.
City User Fees for Selected City Services had the inflationary adjustment last applied on July 1, 2025, adopted with Resolution No. 11364.
Community Development User Fees had the inflationary adjustment last applied on July 1, 2025, adopted with Resolution No. 11365.
In May 2025, the Folsom City Council adopted Resolution No. 11371 which established an amended user fee schedule for Police User Fees. This fee schedule became effective June 13, 2025.
POLICY / RULE
City of Folsom Municipal Code Section 3.50.020 Direction to recover costs. states, “The amount of fees and charges established under this chapter shall be sufficient to recover a
04/28/2026 Item No.17.
2 percentage of the costs reasonably borne in providing the services for which the fees and charges are imposed. Costs reasonably borne shall be as defined in Section 3.50.030. The percentage of the cost to be recovered by the fee shall be at the sole discretion of the council but shall not exceed one hundred percent, as set forth by Section 3.50.040. (Ord. 1344 § 2, 2024; Ord. 609 § 1, 1988).”
City Council Resolution No. 7815 adopted on May 23, 2006, approved an annual inflationary adjustment to be applied each fiscal year for selected city user fees along with fee increases based on a fee study.
City Council Resolution No. 11186 adopted on May 28, 2024, adopted a n amended user fee schedule for Community Development Engineering and Building Services based on a fee study. This study included a fee schedule with identified fees assessing and annual CPI increase.
On May 13, 2025, Resolution No. 11371 adopted an amended user fee schedule for Police user fees with an annual CPI increase.
ANALYSIS
The annual inflationary adjustment to be applied is 3.04%. This is based on the US Bureau of Labor Statistics & CA Department of Finance CPI -West Urban Consumers, all items, San Francisco CMSA, Annual amount as of December of the previous calendar year as set forth in Resolution No. 7815. The proposed fee schedules were derived by applying the annual inflationary adjustment to the current fees if allowed.
The proposed April 28, 2026, City user fee schedule for selected City Services is included as part of Resolution No. 11604 and will be effective July 1, 2026.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
This inflationary adjustment will enable the City to improve cost recovery and reduce the financial burden on the General Fund as long as User Fee activity continues.

ITEM TITLE: Resolution No. 11596 – A Resolution Approving the Parks & Recreation Commission’s Recommendation to Approve the
Benevento Family Park Master Development Plan
FROM: Parks and Recreation Department
RECOMMENDATION / CITY COUNCIL ACTION
The Parks and Recreation Commission recommends approval of Resolution No. 11596 – A Resolution Approving the Parks & Recreation Commission’s Recommendation to Approve the Benevento Family Park Master Development Plan
BACKGROUND / ISSUE
The City of Folsom Parks & Recreation Master Plan (PRMP), adopted in 2015, identifies a future 19.0-acre park site located at 421 Carpenter Hill Road. The site is bordered by Broadstone Parkway and Carpenter Hill Road and features distinct topography consisting of three primary terraces and a centrally located pond. The terrain slopes downward toward Vista del Lago High School and includes natural features that both inform and constrain the park design.
The Parks & Recreation Commission previously approved a Master Development Plan for Benevento Family Park in 2022. Since that time, staff have continued to refine the design and conduct extensive community outreach to ensure the plan reflects community priorities.
In September 2025, staff presented an update on the project to the community and received feedback indicating a lack of support for the proposed 2022 plan. In response, staff undertook a comprehensive revision process. Additional community meetings were held in October and December 2025, culminating in a “Big Design Reveal” where the revised plan received overall positive feedback and community support.
The plan was presented to the Parks & Recreation Commission on January 6, 2026; however, the Commission deferred action and directed staff to conduct further analysis, including additional cost estimating and continued community engagement. Staff subsequently met with the
04/28/2026 Item No.18.
2 Planning, Development & Renovations Subcommittee on January 16, 2026, and continued outreach with residents, the Folsom Cordova Unified School District, and other stakeholders.
Project updates were provided at Commission meetings on February 3 and March 3, 2026.
Community input has been a central component of the planning process. Input included a July 2021 petition opposing parking access from Carpenter Hill Road and a January 2026 petition supporting a community-prepared concept that included a parking lot off Carpenter Hill Road and active park amenities on the upper terraces, including a children’s play area and a basketball court. To further ensure balanced and representative input, the City conducted an online survey from March 3–11, 2026, which received over 500 responses.
Based on the extensive community engagement and input received along with consideration of site constraints, topography, and available project funding, staff developed a revised Master Development Plan that balances active and passive recreation opportunities while remaining feasible to construct. (See Attachment Master Development Plan) The revised plan reflects community priorities, addresses key concerns related to access, noise, and usability, and aligns with the project budget.
On March 31, 2026, the Parks & Recreation Commission unanimously approved a recommendation to forward the updated Master Development Plan to the City Council for approval.
POLICY / RULE
The proposed Master Development Plan is consistent with the City of Folsom Parks & Recreation Master Plan 2015 Update and the 2035 Folsom General Plan Goal PR 1.1 – Develop and maintain quality parks that support the diverse needs of the community.
The project will be implemented in compliance with the Folsom Municipal Code, including the requirement that public works construction contracts include a 10% construction contingency.
ANALYSIS
Community involvement has been a key component of the Master Development Plan process and included multiple community meetings in fall 2025, ongoing Parks & Recreation Commission updates, and a City-sponsored online survey conducted March 3–11, 2026, with over 500 responses. The purpose of this online survey was to ensure a fair and balanced representation of community input toward finalizing the Master Development Plan. Feedback from these efforts directly informed revisions to the plan and helped establish overall community support for the proposed design.
The survey asked participants to evaluate two concepts:
• Concept A: Passive-focused amenities on the upper terraces (estimated $6.0 million construction cost)
• Concept B: Active-focused amenities on the upper terraces (estimated $8.1 million construction cost)
04/28/2026 Item No.18.
3 Survey results showed a strong preference for Concept B, particularly for active amenities such as playgrounds, courts, and flexible-use spaces. Respondents prioritized the following sports amenities, listed in preferred order:
• Pickleball courts (highest ranked)
• Multi-use field
• Basketball courts
• Volleyball courts
Support was also expressed for lighting to extend usability, though some concerns regarding noise and light impacts were noted. Passive amenities and the fishing dock ranked lower overall when prioritizing due to budget constraints.
Master Development Plan
The proposed plan reflects community priorities while balancing site constraints and available funding. (See Attachment Master Development Plan)
Key features include:
• Parking: 26 spaces (Carpenter Hill Rd.) and 61 spaces (Broadstone Pkwy) • Upper terrace scenic overlook
• ADA-accessible circulation to all terraces (stairs and ramps) • Two playgrounds (ages 2–5 and 5–12) with shade
• Group picnic areas on the middle and lower terraces
• Sports amenities:
o Four lighted pickleball courts
o Basketball court (lighting as add alternate)
o Multi-use turf field
• Open lawn and flexible-use space
• Natural surface trail around pond
• Looping concrete pathways
• Two-stall all-gender restroom building
• Maintenance area
Nature and Wellness Theme
The proposed Master Development Plan for Benevento Family Park is guided by a cohesive theme centered on Nature and Wellness, reflecting both the site’s existing environmental assets and the legacy of the park’s namesake.
The Nature component emphasizes preservation and enhancement of the site’s natural character, including the established flora and fauna that have evolved on the property. The pond will serve as a defining feature, offering habitat value, scenic views, and opportunities for recreation such as walking, seating, and nature observation. Additional elements may include native and drought-tolerant landscaping, shaded tree groves, interpretive signage, and nature-themed play
04/28/2026 Item No.18.
4 areas that incorporate logs, boulders, and landforms to create an immersive and educational environment for all ages.
Complementing this, the Wellness component promotes active recreation, physical health, and community connection while honoring the Benevento family’s contributions to athletics, including the Folsom Athletic Association and chiropractic care. In response to community input, the park will emphasize active recreational opportunities such as pickleball courts, basketball courts, and a multi-use soccer field. These amenities will be complemented by walking and jogging loops, and open turf spaces that encourage daily exercise, informal gathering, and social interaction. Together, these elements support active lifestyles, strengthen community connections, and create a meaningful link between the park and the Benevento family legacy.
Additive Alternates
Following the March 31, 2026, Parks & Recreation Commission meeting, staff evaluated potential enhancements and developed an alternative approach to the Master Development Plan, incorporating additional park amenities as additive alternates for City Council consideration. (See Attachment 3 - Master Development Plan Alternate)
Additive alternates are optional components of a project that are fully designed and included in the bid documents but are priced separately by contractors at the time of bidding. This approach allows the City to maintain flexibility by establishing a base project cost (base bid) and identifying additional scope to add if sufficient funding is available. Following receipt of bids, staff evaluates the base bid and alternate pricing and determines which, if any, add alternates can be awarded within the approved project budget. This method is commonly used in projects to maximize project value while maintaining fiscal control.
The add alternates proposed for the Benevento Family Park project include:
1. Basketball Court Lighting – Adds lighting to the basketball court to extend usability into evening hours. Estimated Cost - $68,200
2. Two Sand Volleyball Courts (Lighted) – Proposed on the middle terrace, where the layout is more suitable. This requires relocation of the group picnic area. Under the base bid, the picnic area is located north of the primary east-west walkway; the add alternate would shift the picnic area to the opposite side of the walkway to accommodate the volleyball courts. Estimated Cost - $250,720
3. Fishing Dock – Includes construction of a dock at the pond, along with an accessible concrete pathway to provide ADA-compliant access. Estimated Cost $419,725
The complexity of these add alternates varies. The basketball court lighting is relatively straightforward and requires minimal additional design and engineering. The fishing dock requires more extensive work, including grading an accessible pathway through a moderately sloped area and constructing the dock using cofferdams to allow work within the pond. The volleyball court add alternate is the most complex, as it includes both deductive and additive
04/28/2026 Item No.18.
5 components. It removes the originally planned picnic area and associated grading, planting, and irrigation, and reconstructs those elements in a new location, in addition to constructing the volleyball courts with associated grading and site improvements.
Incorporation of these add alternates also results in additional soft costs. The project consultant team has estimated approximately $74,000 in additional design and engineering services to fully develop these alternates. If, at the time of bidding, there is insufficient funding to include the add alternates in the construction contract, these additional design costs would not be recoverable.
Contingency Considerations
Project budgets include both a construction contingency and a project contingency, each serving a distinct purpose. The construction contingency, required by the Folsom Municipal Code at 10% of the construction contract, is used during construction to address unforeseen field conditions, quantity adjustments, or minor design modifications that arise once work is underway. The project contingency is a broader reserve managed by the City and is intended to address uncertainties outside of construction, including design development, site engineering, environmental mitigation requirements, permitting conditions, and unforeseen site constraints.
At the Master Development Plan stage, it is industry standard practice to maintain a larger project contingency due to the number of unknowns that remain as the project advances into design, site engineering, environmental review, and permitting. Inclusion of the proposed add alternates at this stage of the project, the Master Development Plan stage, would likely require the use of project contingency funds to supplement the available budget. Staff have concerns with utilizing this contingency at this stage, given known site challenges and potential unknowns associated with the CEQA process and permitting requirements. The site includes complex grading conditions identified in the geotechnical investigation, including undocumented fill requiring over-excavation and recompacting, shallow metavolcanic bedrock that may require heavy excavation equipment and may present drainage considerations, and areas with large boulders that must be removed, buried, or reduced in size to meet compaction standards. These conditions introduce cost uncertainty at this stage and until design progresses. However, if directed by the City Council, staff can utilize a portion of the project contingency to attempt to incorporate the add alternates and bring the overall project estimate closer to the available budget, recognizing the associated risks.
In addition, the project contingency must also account for escalation in construction costs that may occur between the time the Master Development Plan is approved and when the project is ultimately advertised for bid. Based on data from the Department of General Services (DGS), construction cost escalation has averaged approximately 7% annually over the past five years.
Depending on the timing, this impact can vary; for example, if the project is advertised for bid within approximately six months, the escalation may be closer to 3.5%. For a $6 million construction project, this equates to an increase of roughly $200,000 at best and up to approximately $350,000 under higher escalation conditions. Given the anticipated timeline for design, environmental clearance, and permitting, this escalation factor represents a meaningful
04/28/2026 Item No.18.
6 potential impact to the overall project budget. Maintaining sufficient contingency at this stage helps ensure the project remains financially viable and reduces the likelihood of scope reductions or funding gaps at the time of bid.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The Benevento Family Park Project (Project #2604) is included in the FY 2025-26 Capital Improvement Plan budget in the amount of $7,973,288. The project is funded by the Supplemental Park Fee Fund (Fund 411) for $290,864, the Parks Improvements Fund (Fund 412) for $7,182,424, and the Park Dedication Fund (Fund 240) for $500,000.. Staff’s goal is to construct the park in a single phase. The Master Development Plan has been developed to maximize amenities within the available budget while accounting for site constraints, including the existing pond and varying topography.
Approval of the Master Development Plan does not have a direct financial impact on the current project budget; however, staff anticipates bringing forward future contract amendments for both the design consultant and environmental consultant to account for additional services performed beyond the original scopes of work. The design consultant has been working outside of their initial scope to revise the Master Development Plan in response to community feedback and direction from the Parks & Recreation Commission. These additional costs are anticipated to remain within the $800,000 currently identified for design and engineering in the overall project budget.
Below is a summary of the current estimated project costs:
Funding Summary:
Item Cost
Park Construction $6,000,000 (includes 10% construction contingency) Design & Engineering $800,000
Permit Fees $65,000
Staff Administration $220,000
Project Contingency $760,000
Total $7,845,000
The inclusion of add alternates and associated design costs may require the use of project contingency funds and could impact the final project scope depending on bid results and Council direction.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Approval of the Master Development Plan is a planning-level action. Following approval, environmental review will be completed in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and all required permits will be obtained. The completed CEQA document
04/28/2026 Item No.18.
7 will be brought back to the City Council for consideration and approval at a future date. If there is any consideration of including the proposed add alternates, it is important that they are incorporated into the approved Master Development Plan so they can be fully evaluated as part of the CEQA analysis and permitting process. Including these elements at this stage ensures environmental impacts are properly assessed and maintains flexibility for potential implementation as the project moves forward.

In February 2022, Congressman Bera’s office requested a call for projects for potential federal funding that included a City cost share requirement of 11.47% . Public Works staff submitted a request for the Riley Street Safety Improvement Project, and the project was ultimately chosen to receive $4 million in project funding with a local cost share requirement of $ 518,243. This Congressionally Directed Spending grant funding includes a requirement that funds must be obligated to the appropriate project phase by September 30, 2026.
On November 14, 2023, City Council authorized the City Manager to execute a Program Supplement Agreement with Caltrans Local Assistance to accept $400,000 of the grant funding that is allocated to the preliminary engineering phase and allowed the City to proceed with design.
Below is a summary of the original project funding.
Project Phase Federal Funding City Cost Share
Design $400,000 $51,825
Right of Way $200,000 $25,912
Construction $3,400,000 $440,506
Total $4,000,000 $518,243
In August 2025, City Council approved Resolution No. 11452 to execute a design and engineering contract with R.E.Y. Engineers for the project to initiate project approval and environmental document (PA&ED) tasks. The intent as outlined in the staff report for that August 2025 item was to complete PA&ED tasks for the entire project length, along Riley Street from Sutter Street to East Bidwell Street. Upon completion of the environmental document , staff would return to City Council to present options to proceed with the final design of a Phase 1 portion of the project that could be designed and constructed within the remaining funding timelines required by the federal grant.
As both the preliminary design and environmental clearance ha ve progressed on the project, the design team identified multiple unanticipated project constraints and challenges that are impacting our project delivery timeline and have required staff to consider options to ensure we can maximize the use of the available grant funding. As noted above, the Congressionally Directed Spending grant funding requires funds to be obligated by September 30, 2026. In discussions with Caltrans Local Assistance staff who process the requests for obligation, such requests should be submitted approximately six weeks in advance to ensure approval by the deadline. Therefore, in order to obligate construction funds by September 30, 2026, the project would need to obtain environmental document approval and complete the final design of a Phase 1 project by approximately August 15, 2026.
Staff and the project team attended a Field Review meeting with Caltrans on January 14 , 2026, and following that meeting , Caltrans environmental reviewers provided feedback that requires more extensive and detailed environmental technical studies than were initially anticipated and were originally included in the scope of work. Preparation and approval of these additional
04/28/2026 Item No.19.
3 technical studies is anticipated to take several months and will not allow sufficient time for final design and obligation of construction funds for a Phase 1 project.
Additionally, as part of preliminary design efforts, the Utilities Department was consulted with , and it was found that there are planned water and sewer infrastructure improvements anticipated for Riley Street within the project limits within the next five years. In order to avoid trenching through new pavement, the Departments agreed that there would be mutual benefit to incorporating the necessary water and sewer infrastructure into the Riley Street Safety Improvement Project.
Staff requested a contract amendment proposal from R.E.Y. Engineers to incorporate the additional environmental technical study efforts, add in the water and sewer infrastructure design, and complete full right of way and design services for the entire project.
POLICY / RULE
Section 2.36.080 of the Folsom Municipal Code states, in part, that contracts for supplies, equipment, services, and construction with an estimated value of $77,426 or greater shall be awarded by the City Council.
ANALYSIS
The proposed contract amendment #1 includes the following expanded services:
• Water and sewer system improvements have been added to the scope of the project to ensure that all underground infrastructure improvement and repairs are completed prior to pavement treatment within the project limits. Water system improvements consist of the complete replacement of the existing water main and associated water services. Sewer system improvements consist of partial mainline replacement, targeting the repair of identified areas. To effectively connect these proposed improvements to the existing water and sewer systems, the limits of the project will be extended on the north and south ends of Riley Street as well as within the side streets including Peddlers Lane, Figueroa Street, Figueroa/Mormon Alley, Mormon Street, Mormon/Natoma Alley, Natoma Street, and Persifer Street. The assumed limits of the water and sewer system improvements are shown on the attached draft APE map dated February 2026.
• Since this project utilizes federal funding sources, it is subject to the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and compliance with Caltrans Local Assistance procedures. After reviewing the project information and meeting with the project team on site, Caltrans environmental reviewers have required more extensive and detailed environmental technical studies than were initially anticipated and were included in the scope of work. Additionally, the footprint of the originally scoped technical studies has increased to accommodate the water and sewer system improvements. • The initial scope of work from August 2025 focused on providing PA&ED services for the entire project length – from a point south of Sutter Street to a point south of Bidwell Street – and right of way and plans, specifications, and estimates (PS&E) services for a Phase 1 segment of the project that was assumed to include improvements from Natoma Street to
04/28/2026 Item No.19.
4 a point south of Bidwell Street. The proposed amendment #1 revises the scope of work to include right of way and final design services for the entire length of the project.
Staff is working with Caltrans and SACOG to move the construction grant funding to the design phase to fund this additional design work, as summarized in the table below.
Project Phase Federal Funding City Cost Share
Design $3,800,000 $492,331
Right of Way $200,000 $25,912
Construction $0 $0
Total $4,000,000 $518,243
Staff have reviewed the R.E.Y. Engineers' scope and fee to provide the additional services and concur with the level of effort required to comply with Caltrans requests and full design efforts for this phase of the project.
Staff will use the City’s standard contract amendment in a form acceptable to the City Attorney.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The City of Folsom applied for and successfully secured $4,000,000 in Congressionally Directed Spending during Fiscal Year 2023 to fund the design and construction of the Riley Street Safety Improvement Project with a total local cost share of $ 518,243 (11.47%). These federal funds are being administered through the Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG), and the Preliminary Engineering phase has already been formally programmed in the Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Program (MTIP) under SACOG ID SAC25350.
The Riley Street Safety Improvement Project , Project PW2101, was included in the F iscal Year 2025-2026 Capital Improvement P lan with a budget of $587,902 in the Transportation Improvement Fund (Fund 446) . Resolution No. 11452 approved an additional appropriation of $170,340 in the Transportation Improvement Fund (Fund 446) to cover the cost of the original design and engineering consultant agreement.
If approved, the contract amendment #1 would require an additional appropriation of $1,616,074, for a new total contract amount of $2,276,038. Costs would be initially funded through the Transportation Improvement Fund (Fund 446) and reimbursed by the federal grant at an 88.53% rate.
If approved, the total project budget for the Riley Street Safety Improvement Project, Project No.
PW2101 would increase to $2,374,316. Sufficient f unds are available in the Transportation Improvement Fund (Fund 446) for this appropriation.

April 28, 2026
City of Folsom City Council
50 Natoma Street
Folsom, CA 95630
via email to: [email protected] for distribution to City Council
SUBJECT: Comments to City Council re: April 28, 2026, Agenda Item No. 19 – Resolution No. 11603 Amending Contract for Riley Street Safety Improvement Project
Dear City Councilmembers:
The conceptual design of sidewalks and retaining walls along Riley Street between Bidwell Street and Sutter Street as illustrated on the “Riley Street Safety Improvement Project APE Map, February 2026” (Sheets 1 and 2, pkt. pgs. 390 and 391) of the City Council’s Agenda Item No. 19 staff report would result in substantial modifications along this primary corridor through Folsom’s Historic District and would adversely affect the historic quality and character of historic resources.
I request that the City Council reconsider the conceptual design for Riley Street improvements prior to advancing additional funds for the current design concept. The current design concept would have a substantial adverse effect on the character of the Historic District and would not be eligible for a California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) categorical exemption as contemplated in the staff report.
The staff report acknowledges that, “Caltrans environmental reviewers provided feedback that requires more extensive and detailed environmental technical studies than were initially anticipated and were originally included in the scope of work.” That the necessary environmental technical studies were underestimated in the original scope of work is just one indication that the City is prematurely pursuing improvements along Riley Street. This project is in need of a process that identifies alternatives that would achieve the project objectives while lessening the significant effects on historic resources that will result from the current conceptual design.
The conceptual design represents substantial alteration to the existing condition of Riley Street and intersecting side streets, and fails to integrate with the historic character of the Historic District and its neighborhood streets. By way of example, under existing conditions, the north side of Mormon Street east of Riley Street contains a sidewalk separated from the street by a landscaped median and elevation change. The conceptual design illustrates a new sidewalk at street grade typical of a modern residential area design and without any apparent attempt to interconnect with the existing sidewalk along the north side of Mormon Street, and nowhere does the conceptual plan demonstrate any effort to integrate the proposed Riley Street design with Historic District character.
Protection of the character of the Historic District requires more thorough consideration of project alternatives to minimize impacts on the Historic District.
Sincerely,
Bob Delp
Historic District - Folsom, CA 95630 - -
