Agenda #: B. Category: Consent Calendar
FROM:

Engineering
SUBJECT:

Approve Contract Change Order for Village of Heritage Liberty Parkway Loop Patching and Pavement Rehabilitation Project (DE-26-97-SB)
RECOMMENDATION:

Approve and authorize the City Manager to issue a Contract Change Order in the amount of $638,054.80 for a total contract amount of $3,186,745.80 and increase the construction contingency amount by $63,805.48, for a total contingency amount of $318,674.58 (DE-26-97-SB).

COUNCIL GOALS:
· To invest in the City’s infrastructure (streets, sewers, parks, etc.) by maintaining and improving the city's existing infrastructure.
· To invest in the City’s infrastructure (streets, sewers, parks, etc.) by focusing on relief of traffic congestion.

DISCUSSION:

The City of Fontana’s 7-Year Pavement Management Plan includes the FY2025-2026 Village of Heritage Liberty Parkway Loop Patching and Pavement Rehabilitation Project. The proposed improvements include the rehabilitation of existing asphalt pavement and the reconstruction of ADA compliant curb ramps. The project will improve ride quality, increase pavement service life, and enhance the safety of both vehicular and pedestrian traffic.

On April 28, 2026, the City Council authorized the City Manager to enter into a construction contract with Matich Corporation of San Bernardino for the construction of Village of Heritage Liberty Parkway Loop Patching and Pavement Rehabilitation Project in the amount of $2,548,691.00, and authorize a 10% contingency in the amount of $254,869.10 (DE-26-97-SB).

After receiving a lower than expected bid from Matich Corporation, with very favorable mill and overlay pricing per square foot, staff determined that it was in the best interest of the City to request additional pricing for all of the entrances that required a mill and overlay into the Village of Heritage (South Heritage Circle, Miller Avenue, Mulberry Avenue, Banana Avenue, and W. Liberty Parkway at the entrance of the Heritage Community Center), thus completing all of the pavement rehabilitation in the Village of Heritage community included in the 7-Year Pavement Management Plan. With the close proximity of these locations to the Liberty Parkway loop, the additional paving work can be completed using the same unit prices included in the original contract, along with reasonable additional costs for mobilization and traffic control. This approach provides a cost-efficient opportunity to address existing pavement conditions, complete the planned improvements within the Village of City of Fontana Printed on 9/2/2026Page 1 of 2

Subject: Proposal #0 2 Previously Completed Work, ITP Amendment, and Permit Conditions Require ments for the Cherry/Victoria Infrastructure Project, Fontana, California

Dear Jeffrey:

Per your request we have combined several previous proposals into one all -inclusive proposal.

UltraSystems Environmental Inc. (UltraSystems) is pleased to provide our scope and cost for several tasks including work already completed, the ITP Amendment, and work required per the conditions of the regulatory permits (CDFW- LSAA EPIMS-SBR-58314-R6, .RWQCB - WDR – WDID No. 362025- 25, ITP No. 2081 -2025-064-062081-2025-079-06) for the Cherry Avenue and Victoria Street Complete Streets Infrastructure Project (Infrastructure Project), in Fontana, California.

1.0 SCOPE OF WORK
MAJOR TASK 1.0: (ALREADY COMPLETED ) MITIGATION STRATEGY DEVELOPMENT & CDFW

CONSULTATION
During CDFW’s review process of the Infrastructure Project’s ITP (2081-2025-064-06), UltraSystems staff have coordinated with CDFW staff, the Client, and the Project Applicant (i.e., the City) to work toward the development of an ITP that serves to protect burrowing owl individuals that would be impacted by project activities while at the same time advocating for reasonable mitigation requirements. UltraSystems assisted the City and Intex in April 2026 in support of consultation with CDFW to explore pathway s to reduce the financial cost associated with meeting mitigation requirements within the Infrastructure Project’s ITP.

Task 1.1: Comparison of CDFW Proposed Habitat Mitigation with Three Alternative Mitigation Scenarios (Already Completed). On April 10, 2026, CDFW hosted a meeting with the City, Intex, and UltraSystems to discuss the ITP and ITP mitigation requirements. Following this meeting, and at the request of the Client, UltraSystems prepared a report proposing alternative mitigation scenarios for the City’s consideration; approved scenarios are to be proposed to CDFW in an ITP Amendment Request pending the completion of supporting burrowing owl nesting season surveys (see Task 1).

The report included : (1) four tables (one table per mitigation scenario ) summarizing estimated habitat mitigation acreage requirements; (2) four tables (one per mitigation scenario) summarizing estimated habitat mitigation costs , and 3) four figures (one per mitigation scenario) depicting the 63 Jeffrey Kim, Engineering Manager

acreage of suitable burrowing owl habitat for which mitigation would be required . This urgent task involved one Senior Biologist, one Staff Biologist, and one Project Manager.

Deliverables (already provided)
• One electronic copy of the draft/final mitigation scenario report, including eight tables and four maps, to the Client.

Task 1.2: Preparation of Talking Points for the City for its April 27, 2026, CDFW Meeting (Already Completed). After reviewing the Mitigation Scenarios Report (see Task 1.1), the City sent a list of questions to UltraSystems, asking for expedited responses so the City could discuss the scenarios during its meeting with CDFW on April 27, 2026.

Responses to the City’s questions and an additional report included: (1) detailed responses to five questions submitted by the City; (2) a meeting between the City, Intex , and UltraSystems to determine a strategy for presenting revised alternative mitigation requirements to convince CDFW to lower requirements detailed in the Infrastructure Project’s ITP; (3) three new tables, one providing proposed mitigation ratios for suitable habitat per project section, one comparing mitigation requirements for the Infrastructure Project’s ITP with four other ITP in the CDFW’s Inland Desert Region, and one summarizing proposed mitigation reductions; and (4) discussion of six topics regarding why the existing ITP’s requirements are burdensome and a proposed solution for lowering the mitigation requirements . This expedited task involved one Senior Biologist, one Staff Biologist, and one Project Manager.

Deliverables (already provided)
• One electronic copy of the draft/final responses to the City’s questions, to the Client. • One electronic copy of the draft/final memo report presenting a case to CDFW for lowering the mitigation requirements, to the Client.

Task 1.3: CDFW Consultation – Preview and Final Approved ITP (Already Completed). This task facilitates routine permit coordination with CDFW regarding the development of a n approved ITP.

This task includes the preparation for, participation in, and follow-up actions related to the Preview ITP meeting that CDFW conducted with UltraSystems, the Client, and the Project Applicant (i.e., the City).

Task 1.4: Habitat Mitigation Land and Receiver Site Research (Already Completed). This task covers research and outreach to potential habitat mitigation land property owners and conservation banks. UltraSystems biological staff researched potential mitigation sites for burrowing owl and met with a representative from Lewis Management Corp. to discuss the prospect of acquiring an 85-acre parcel of dry farming agricultural land, or a subdivision thereof, for the purpose of using it as a BUOW mitigation land that would be protected into perpetuity. This site is adjacent to a site at which six pairs of BUOWs were moved as part of mitigation activities for projects in Fontana, California.

UltraSystems is investigating other potential habitat mitigation lands that would meet CDFW’s criteria for this requirement.

Task 1.5: ITP Mitigation Coordination (Already Completed). UltraSystems management staff have participated in a Preview ITP meeting with CDFW to review a preliminary draft of the ITP in which mitigation requirements were reviewed and implementation challenges were identified. 64 Jeffrey Kim, Engineering Manager

UltraSystems subsequently worked with the City and Intex to devise strategies for approaching CDFW with less restrictive and costly alternatives to mitigating project impacts to BUOWs.

To ensure effective communication between UltraSystems , Intex, and the City , two (2) progress meetings via Teams or Zoom were conducted as well as several email and phone correspondence. To the extent feasible, meeting schedules corresponded with draft deliverables or related milestone events and were preceded by the delivery of draft documents to the Client for their review, prior to the meeting date.

MAJOR TASK 2.0: BUOW SURVEYS/HABITAT QUALITY ASSESSMENT OVERAGES AND OUT-OF-

SCOPE TASKS (MOSTLY ALREADY COMPLETED)
This task is to cover overages and out -of-scope costs that have been incurred under Task Order #1.

The original Task Order #1 was greatly under-budgeted for several reasons:

To allow for quick approval of the surveys so we could start right away because the survey season was going to run out if we were not able to start right away. The BUOW protocol surveys need to be conducted in a specific timeframe in order to satisfy CDFW’s request to conduct the surveys and Habitat Quality Assessment during this breading season that just occurred in support of the ITP amendment that must be prepared for the project (please see the attached previous contract for surveys to show what they previously cost).

We did not know at the time we were going to need to deploy/retrieve a total of 40 cameras at burrows. The camera burrow monitoring was required by CDFW for the Habitat Quality Assessment.

The 40 cameras documented sign at over 40 burrows and produced extensive video footage — many cameras recorded over 30,000 seconds (8+ hours) of continuous video, requiring approximately 10 hours of dedicated review time per camera to determine owl presence or absence. This footage required us to add additional staff working full time to download, review, organize, document, and log the footage to be used properly for the reports and to be able to provide to the CDFW as they requested.

Additionally, the survey and mapping effort exceeded original assumptions. To thoroughly inspect vineyard rows for burrow sign, transect spacing was reduced from 60 feet to 40 feet so every grape plant base could be inspected, and every potential burrow wa s examined using flashlights and mirrors to check burrow aprons and tunnels. The survey area around the Old San Sevaine Channel was also wider than originally scoped, and burrows in vineyard rows were frequently obscured by grape plants, increasing the time needed to locate, map, and document them.

The Habitat Quality Assessment also took longer than planned due to the high diversity of habitat conditions across the survey area. Areas that had been disked still contained burrows and could not simply be classified as unsuitable, and ongoing disking and maintenance activity — along with active construction near Kestrel Drive — changed habitat suitability during the survey period, requiring reassessment. Representing 100% coverage of the survey area across five distinct habitat suitability levels required extensive field time to delineate habitat polygons and substantial post-processing to finalize them.

The documentation, data processing, and mapping that has been done for a detailed and accurate Habitat Quality Assessment to support the ITP Amendment and reducing habitat impacts has required more hours than originally planned. The Draft and Final BUOW Survey Reports required incorporating novel maps and analyses not considered in previous reports, along with a high level of quality assurance to ensure that all aspects of the ITP and permitting requirements were fully addressed. Project management and coordination hours likewise exceeded original assumptions, given the high level of coordination needed to keep the analysis accurate and consistent with agency directives. Our goal is to support the City with a favorable outcome for less habitat impacts and detailed evidence to support that so the CDFW will approve.

MAJOR TASK 3.0: CROTCH’S BUMBLE BEE SURVEYS
The LSAA permit conditions require Crotch’s bumble bee ( Bombus crotchii; CBB) surveys be conducted in the LSAA permit impact area within Old San Sevaine Channel, plus a 500 -foot buffer area. Since construction is planned to start March 2027 and the peak flowering period of herbaceous plants within the project site occurs between Mar ch through June, we began the first two rounds of surveys in June 2026. We recommend the next round of surveys begins immediately (before July 15, 2026) while the current BUOW surveys are being conducted.

2.14 Crotch’s Bumble Bee. Crotch's bumble bee is a candidate species for listing pursuant to the California Endangered Species Act (Fish & G. Code, § 2050 et seq.). Permittee shall designate a Crotch’s bumble bee approved biologist (Designated Biologist(s)) that is knowledgeable about the species natural history, habitat requirements, seasonal movements, and range to survey and monitor for Crotch’s bumble bee prior to project activities. Surveys should be conducted during flying season when the species is most likely to be detected above ground, between March 1 to September 1 (Thorp et al. 1983). Survey results, including negative findings, should be submitted to CDFW prior to implementing project -activities. If Crotch’s bumble bee is detected, the Designated Biologist should immediately notify CDFW. In addition, the Permittee in consultation with the Designated Biologist(s) should develop a Crotch’s Bumble Bee Avoidance Plan. At a minimum, the avoidance plan should identify the location of all nests in or adjacent to the project site as well as all inactive small mammal burrows. If an inactive burrow may be disturbed by project activities, it should be resurveyed for Crotch’s bumble bee within seven (7) days prior to the scheduled disturbance. A minimum 100 -foot no disturbance buffer zone should be established around nests to reduce the risk of disturbance or accidental take. The Designated Biologist(s) should expand the buffer zone as necessary to prevent disturbance or take. If full avoidance cannot be accomplished, Permittee shall postpone the project until appropriate CESA authorization is obtained.

Task 3.1: Focused (April to August) Crotch’s Bumble Bee (CBB) Surveys (Already Completed).

In accordance with the CBB Survey Considerations (2023), UltraSystems’ biologists will conduct three CBB surveys during the CBB colony active period (April to August). Surveys will be conducted by biologists who are familiar with CBB habitat, natural history, ecology, behavior, and field identification of the species.

Surveys are most effective when CBB activity or foraging is most likely to occur, typically when floral resources are present. Based on biological surveys conducted between 2022 through 2025, the peak flowering period of herbaceous plants within the project site occurs between March through June. To maximize the likelihood of observing CBB, UltraSystems biologists conducted the first two CBB 66 Jeffrey Kim, Engineering Manager

surveys in June, which coincided with both the peak bloom period within the project site and CBB’s colony active period. To ensure that the third survey also occur s within the period of higher CBB activity, it is advisable it completed by July 15. All surveys will be conducted within the LSAA permit impact area, represented within Attachment 1, Impacts to Jurisdictional Waters, and a 500-foot buffer around that impact area. These survey results will be reported to the wildlife agencies as required by the permit conditions.

Task 3.2: CBB Survey Report. Following completion of the focused CBB surveys by biologists, UltraSystems will finalize the focused CBB survey report in accordance with the guidelines described in the CBB Survey Considerations and as required by the LSAA Permit. The report will: (1) summarize information regarding the CBB’s natural history; (2) assess the habitat of the survey area and its suitability for CBB; (3) describe the number, behavior, and location of any CBBs detected during the surveys or assess the potential presence of CBB onsite; (4) analyze the potential impacts to CBB from project development; and (5) recommend, as appropriate, best management practices (BMPs), avoidance and protection measures, and mitigation measures to reduce or avoid potential impacts to CBB. If CBB nest locations are detected, a detailed description of the nest sides including substrate, point counts of the bees at the site, location, aspect, vegetation, and surrounding land use will be provided. A buffer will be established around the nest site for one nesting season, or in accordance with the LSAA conditions.

The report will include: (1) methods and results of the literature review and field surveys; (2) figures depicting the location of CBBs; and 3) site photographs.

MAJOR TASK 4.0: SAN BERNARDINO KANGAROO RAT SURVEYS
The LSAA permit conditions require San Bernardino kangaroo rat ( Dipodomys merriami parvus ; SBKR) surveys to be conducted in the LSAA permit impact area, which is within Old San Sevaine Channel, plus a 500 -foot buffer area. These surveys should be conducted during the active season (April 1 through October 31) and, since construction is planned to start March 2027, we recommend these surveys be conducted this year before the end of October 2026.

2.10 San Bernardino Kanga roo Rat. Permittee shall prepare a plan to conduct pre - project protocol trapping for San Bernardino kangaroo rat (SBKR) within the project footprint and a 500-foot buffer and shall submit the plan to CDFW for review and approval prior to implementation. Nighttime temperatures during the trapping must be greater than 50 degrees Fahrenheit. The results of the protocol trapping shall be provided to CDFW no less than 30 days prior to the start of project activities . If SBKR are present, all project activities must avoid take, unless CESA authorization is obtained, and no project activities are authorized under this Agreement without additional written approval from CDFW. This Agreement does not provide authorization for take of any listed species.

Task 4.1: Protocol San Bernardino Kangaroo Rat (SBKR) Surveys . The project site is located in the known distributional range of the San Bernardino kangaroo rat (SBKR) ( Dipodomys merriami parvus) and contains suitable habitats to potentially support this species. A permitted biologist 67 Jeffrey Kim, Engineering Manager

holding valid section 10(a)(1)(A) recovery permit from the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) will conduct protocol SBKR surveys in accordance with agency guidelines . The purpose of the surveys is to detect the presence of SBKR within the project site.

A habitat assessment and focused trapping surveys (protocol SBKR surveys) will be conducted within the LSAA permit impact area, represented within Attachment 1, Impacts to Jurisdictional Waters, and a 500- foot buffer around that area. The habitat assessment will determine where suitable SBKR habitat occurs within the survey area. Focused trapping surveys will be performed within the areas containing suitable burrows. The live-trapping program will be conducted over five (5) consecutive nights;unless the trapping program at a given site will be terminated if an SBKR or other special - status small mammal is trapped prior to the fifth night. If more than one site is present in a project area, trapping would continue up to five nights in areas where SBKR or other special -status small mammal have not yet been trapped or until USFWS has provided written approval to discontinue trapping.

At a given site, all traps must be located in areas that best typify SBKR or other special -status small mammal habitat and near burrow entrances, along runways, and near rodent sign, if possible. Traps shall be checked at least twice per night, once near midnight and again at sunrise. Animals will be held only so long as to identify to species, sex, and age -class and then released at the trap site.

Trapping will be conducted under mild weather co nditions, with minimum temperatures greater than 50° Fahrenheit and atmospheric conditions relatively dry, and calm. Trapping shall not be conducted in extended periods of wind, rain or fog that may jeopardize the lives of SBKR or other special-status small mammals.

All traps shall be 12 -inch Sherman live traps or traps of similar design and efficiency. Such similar non-Sherman traps shall be approved by the CDFW and Carlsbad Fish and Wildlife Office (CFWO) (for SBKR only) prior to their use. All trap models shall be modified to eliminate or substantially reduce the risk of injury (e.g., tail lacerations).

No mutilation marking scheme (e.g., toe -clipping, ear clipping) shall be allowed. No invasive technique (e.g., PIT-tagging) will be allowed unless authorized by the CDFW CFWO (for SBKR only). 1 Task 4.2: Protocol SBKR Survey Report. Following completion of the SBKR habitat assessment and focused trapping surveys, the permitted biologist will prepare a n SBKR habitat assessment and focused trapping survey report (protocol SBKR survey report) in accordance with agency guidelines.

The report will: 1) summarize information regarding the SBKR’s natural history; 2) assess the habitat of the survey area and its suitability for the SBKR; 3) assess the potential presence of the SBKR onsite; 4) analyze the potential impacts on the SBKR from project development; and 5) recommend, as appropriate, best management practices (BMPs), avoidance and protection measures, and mitigation measures to reduce or avoid potential impacts on SBKRs . The report will include: 1) methods and results of the literature review and field surveys; 2) figures depicting the location of SBKRs, if any; 3) site photographs; and 4) data forms.

1 In lieu of an officially designated USFWS SBKR survey protocol, the survey methodology was adapted from the 2014 San Bernardino and Aguanga Kangaroo Rat Survey protocol for the Western Riverside County Multiple Species Habitat Plan.

Surveys shall encompass all suitable areas including trees, shrubs, bare ground, burrows, cavities, and structures. Survey duration shall take into consideration the size of the property; density and complexity of the habitat; number of survey participants; survey techniques employed; and shall be sufficient to ensure the data collected is complete and accurate.

Pre-project surveys shall focus on both direct and indirect evidence of nesting, including nest locations and nesting behavior (e.g., copulation, carrying of food or nest materials, nest building, removal of fecal sacks, flushing suddenly from atypically close range, agitation, aggressive interactions, feigning injury or distraction displays, or other behaviors). If a nest is suspected, but not confirmed, the Designated Biologist(s) shall establish a disturbance- free buffer until additional surveys can be completed, or until the location can be inferred based on observations.

The Designated Biologist(s) shall not risk failure of the nest to determine the exact location or status and will make every effort to limit the nest to potential predation as a result of the survey/monitoring efforts (e.g., limit number of surveyors, limit time spent at/near the nest, scan the site for potential nest predators before approaching, immediately depart nest area if indicators of stress or agitation are displayed). If a nest is observed, but thought to be inactive, the Designated Biologist(s) shall monitor the nest for 1 hour (4 hours for raptors) prior to approaching the nest to determine status. The Designated Biologist(s) shall use their best professional judgement regarding the monitoring period and whether approaching the nest is appropriate. Results of pre- activity surveys shall be provided to CDFW per Measure 4.1.

2.7.3 Buffers. When an active nest is confirmed, the Designated Biologist(s) shall immediately establish a conservative buffer surrounding the nest.

Nest buffers are species specific and shall be at least 300 feet for passerines and 500 feet for raptors. The buffer shall be delineated to ensure that its location is known by all persons working within the vicinity but shall not be marked in such a manner that it attracts predators. Once the buffer is established, the Designated Biologist(s) shall document baseline behavior , stage of reproduction, and existing site conditions, including vertical and horizontal distances from proposed work areas, visual or acoustic barriers, and existing level of disturbance.

Following documentation of baseline conditions, the Designated Biologist(s) may choose to adjust the buffer based on site characteristics, stage of reproduction, and types of project activities proposed at/near that location. The Designated Biologist(s) shall monitor the nest at the onset of project activities addressed by this Agreement, and at the onset of any changes in project activities (e.g., increase in number or type of equipment, change in equipment usage, etc.) to determine the efficacy of the buffer. If the Designated Biologist(s) determines that project activities may be causing an adverse reaction, the Designated Biologist(s) shall increase the buffer accordingly.

Biologist(s). If the noise meets or exceeds the 60 dB(A) Leq threshold, or if the Designated Biologist(s) determines that activities are disturbing nesting activities, the Designated Biologist(s) shall have the authority to halt the project activities and shall consult with CDFW to devise methods to reduce the noise and/or disturbance. This may include methods such as, but not limited to, turning off vehicle engines and other equipment whenever possible to reduce noise, installing a protective noise barrier between the nesting birds and the activities, and working in other areas until the young have fledged. Protective noise barriers shall be removed when birds are done nesting and shall not remain installed in the project site during the rainy season if within the floodplain of the stream(s). The Designated Biologist(s) shall monitor the nest daily until activities are no longer within 300 feet of the nest, or the fledglings become independent of their nest, or the nest has failed.

2.7.5 Ongoing Monitoring. The Designated Biologist(s) shall be onsite daily to monitor all existing nests, the efficacy of established buffers, and to document any new nesting occurrences. The Designated Biologist(s) shall document the status of all existing nests, including the stage of reproduction and the expected fledge date, when this can be determined without endangering the nest by disturbance or alerting predators. If a nest is suspected to have been abandoned or failed, CDFW recommends the Designated Biologist(s) monitor the nest for a minimum of 1 hour (4 hours for raptors), uninterrupted, during favorable field conditions. If no activity is observed during that time, the Designated Biologist(s) may approach the nest to assess the status.

UEI Biologist

2.7.6 Securing Site. Permittee, under the direction of the Designated Biologist(s), may also take steps to discourage nesting on the project site, including moving equipment and materials daily, covering material with tarps or fabric, and securing all open pipes and construction materials.

The Designated Biologist(s) shall ensure that none of the materials used pose an entanglement risk to birds or other species. The Designated Biologist shall include a detailed account of any steps taken to discourage nesting within the project site in the summary reports.

UEI Biologist

2.7.7 Reporting. The Designated Biologist(s) shall be responsible for providing summary reports, as specified in Measure 4.2 to CDFW no less than once weekly regarding the nesting species identified onsite, discovery of any new nests, the status/outcome of any previously identified nest, buffer distances established for each nest, and any adjustments made to established buffers. If the project results in the abandonment of, or damage to a nest, Permittee shall notify CDFW within 24 hours.

Permittee shall designate a Crotch’s bumble bee approved biologist (Designated Biologist(s)) that is knowledgeable about the species natural history, habitat requirements, seasonal movements, and range to survey and monitor for Crotch’s bumble bee prior to project activities. Surveys should be conducted during flying season when the species is most likely to be detected above ground, between March 1 to September 1 (Thorp et al. 1983). Survey results, including negative findings, should be submitted to CDFW prior to implementing project- activities. If Crotch’s bumble bee is detected, the Designated Biologist should immediately notify CDFW. In addition, the Permittee in consultation with the Designated Biologist(s) should develop a Crotch’s Bumble Bee Avoidance Plan. At a minimum, the avoidance plan should identify the location of all nests in or adjacent to the project site as well as all inactive small mammal burrows. If an inactive burrow may be disturbed by project activities, it should be resurveyed for Crotch’s bumble bee within seven (7) days prior to the scheduled disturbance.

A minimum 100 -foot no disturbance buffer zone should be established around nests to reduce the risk of disturbance or accidental take. The Designated Biologist(s) should expand the buffer zone as necessary to prevent disturbance or take. If full avoidance cannot be accomplished, Permittee shall postpone the project until appropriate CESA authorization is obtained.

2.15 Special-Status Plants. Prior to the start of project activities, the Designated Biologist(s) shall visually survey the entirety of the project site and access route to identify any special -status plants, such as those included in the Project Impacts section of this Agreement.

7.6.2.1. Notwithstanding the above requirement, a no disturbance buffer of at least 500 feet shall be established around known Covered Species burrows currently occupied by the Covered Species during the nesting season (typically the beginning of the year to late summer in Southern California).

7.6.2.2. Notwithstanding the above requirements, if an active Covered Species nest burrow (e.g. known Covered Species burrow with indications of paired Covered Species during the breeding season, the presence of eggs, chicks, dependent young, and/or brooding or egg incubation) is discovered within or
immediately adjacent to the Project Area, the Permittee shall notify CDFW's Regional Representative immediately through email. A no disturbance buffer of at least 650 feet shall be established around the nest burrow.

If Covered Species individuals are visibly stressed by the Covered Activities or workers in the vicinity after these no-disturbance buffers are established, all work in the vicinity shall immediately cease and increased no - disturbance buffers will be determined by the Designated Biologist(s) based on their behavioral observations of the affected Covered Species.

If direct impacts to Covered Species individuals cannot be avoided, the Designated Biologist(s) shall contact the CDFW representative to discuss potential relocation/translocation methods (Condition of Approval 7.8).

The buffers prescribed above shall not be reduced or otherwise modified without the prior written approval of CDFW. If the Designated Biologist(s) determine(s) that specific Covered Activities are not likely to affect Covered Species individuals using known or nesting Covered Species burrows due to the nature of the specific Covered Activities and/or due to objects or topography that might reduce potential noise disturbance or obstruct view of the Covered Activities from the nest, then the Designated Biologist(s) may email a written request to CDFW to reduce the buffer distance, along with documented observational data (Buffer Reduction Request). CDFW will review each Buffer Reduction Request on a case-by-case basis and provide a determination in response to each Buffer Reduction Request in writing.

CDFW may request additional and/or ongoing biological monitoring prior to approving a Buffer Reduction Request. Written approval from CDFW is required before a buffer distance may be reduced to allow for Covered Activities to occur.

7.7 Entrapment Inspections. Any pipes, culverts, burrow exclusion installations, or similar structures with a diameter greater than 11 centimeters shall be inspected for Covered Species individuals and eggs by the Authorized Biologist(s) and/or Biological Monitor(s) before the material is moved, buried, or capped.

• NOTE ON PERMIT JURISDICTION (updated 07/31/26): Confirmed via the signed LSAA agreement (EPIMS-SBR-58314-R6) that the permitted project is limited to installing one culvert where the Victoria Street alignment crosses Old San Sevaine Channel (0.37-ac temporary / 0.40-ac permanent impact), plus a 500-ft buffer (27.74 acres per the JD Impact 500ft Buffer map) — a small portion of the alignment, not the full 4-segment corridor. The CDFW ITP covers the ENTIRE project alignment, since burrowing owls may occupy any segment. Costs driven by the whole-alignment need — daily biological monitoring and burrowing owl focused surveys — are billed under the CDFW ITP (7.1-7.15), not LSAA. In addition, the multi-species reconnaissance survey (covering small mammals, amphibians, plants, least Bell's vireo, and Crotch's bumble bee — species the ITP does not regulate) has been resized from 4 segments down to a single visit covering the LSAA-jurisdictional footprint only, consistent with the agreement's own project description.. • NOTE ON CROSS-PERMIT CONSOLIDATION: The line items above are billed once even though several activities satisfy obligations under two or three permits simultaneously — the same field visit or deliverable is not charged separately to each permit. Combined items: (1) Designated Biologist submittal — CDFW ITP 5.2 + LSAA 2.1, counted under “2.1-2.5 Avoidance and Minimization Measures”; (2) Worker Environmental Awareness Program (WEAP) — CDFW ITP 5.4 + LSAA 2.23, counted under “2.23-2.25 Construction BMPs”; (3) CNDDB notification — LSAA 4.5 + CDFW ITP 6.6, counted under “4.1-4.6 Reporting Measures”; (4) Burrowing Owl Mortality Reduction Plan — CDFW ITP 7.1 + LSAA 2.8.5, counted under “7.1-7.15 Take Minimization Measures”; (5) Daily biological monitoring and burrowing owl focused surveys — CDFW ITP 7.5/7.7/7.3 + LSAA 2.17/2.19/2.8.2/2.8.3/2.8.4/2.13 + RWQCB D.2, counted under “7.1-7.15 Take Minimization Measures” (see the jurisdiction note above for why this moved to ITP). Corresponding line items under the other permit(s) show $0 for these specific conditions to avoid double-billing.

Subject: Proposal #01 for Focused Burrowing Owl Surveys (Breeding Season 2026) and Habitat Quality Analysis in support of the CDFW ITP Amendment for the Cherry/Victoria Infrastructure Project, Fontana, California

Dear Jeffrey:

UltraSystems Environmental Inc. (UltraSystems) is pleased to provide our proposal and cost estimate (Proposal #01 Revised) for add -on work relating to focused burrowing owl (BUOW) (Breeding Season, 2026) surveys and habitat quality assessment , requested by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), associated with the Incidental Take Permit (ITP) Amendment application that is underway, and other project management for the Cherry Avenue and Victoria Street Complete Streets Infrastructure Project (Infrastructure Project), in Fontana, California.

BACKGROUND
In response to ongoing ITP consultation meetings with CDFW, additional focused BUOW surveys are necessary to maintain current survey data for the 2026 breeding season and to obtain an up-to-date census of onsite BUOW activity. UltraSystems biologists conducted multiple rounds of non-breeding and breeding season surveys since 2022, and recent survey data is needed as part of this ITP process.

This Proposal #01 provides for four focused breeding season BUOW surveys, beginning in May 2026, in accordance with CDFW’s Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation (Staff Report; CDFG, 2012), and with direction received from CDFW during the Infrastructure Project’s ITP amendment consultation process.

As some of the mitigation requirements of the Infrastructure Project’s ITP ( 2081-2025-064-06) would place a strain on the City of Fontana (City) to meet those requirements , the City and Intex consulted with CDFW to explore pathway s to reduce the financial cost associated with meeting mitigation requirements within the Infrastructure Project’s ITP. The CDFW suggested that the City submit an ITP amendment that would propose reduced project areas (e.g., staging areas) overlapping with quality BUOW habitat and re-evaluate the acreage of quality BUOW habitat within the project site. UltraSystems, the City, and Intex have initiated the consultation and coordination with CDFW to develop the Infrastructure Project’s ITP Amendment such that mitigation requirements may be reduced.

SCOPE OF WORK
The scope of work for this Proposal #01, is provided below.

TASK 1: BURROWING OWL SURVEYS AND REPORT S
Task 1 a: Breeding Season (15 February to 15 July) Burrowing Owl Surveys . UltraSystems’ biologists will conduct these surveys in accordance with the guidelines set forth by CDFW in the Staff Report. Surveys will be conducted by biologists who are familiar with BUOW habitat, natural history, ecology, behavior, and field identification of the species and BUOW sign.

Four BUOW surveys will be conducted during the BUOW breeding season because BUOWs are more detectable during that season. The first BUOW survey will be conducted in Ap ril 2026. Three additional surveys will be conducted at least three weeks apart between April 15 and July 15, 2026, with at least one survey occurring after June 15, 2026. The proposed survey schedule will entail four surveys starting as soon as possible, each scheduled at least three weeks apart, when feasible . All surveys will be conducted within the project boundary and a 165-foot buffer around the project site.

These survey results will be reported to the wildlife agencies to support and advance the ITP process.

Task 1 b: Burrow Survey Mapping. To meet CDFW’s ITP requirement for a burrow map, UltraSystems’ biologists will gather 2026 data on BUOW burrow distribution within the project site.

They will survey and document the locations of potential burrows (i.e., natural, and man-made that are suitable for BUOW occupancy), BUOW sightings, occupied burrows (i.e., burrows with BUOW or BUOW sign), satellite burrows, burrow complexes (i.e., areas of concentrated burrows), and BUOW sign. The locations will be documented us ing Global Positioning System (GPS) and will be collected in NAD83 datum in compliance with CDFW requirements. within the project site. The map shall include an outline of the project boundary, including the staging areas. The map shall be at a scale of 1:24,000 or finer to show details.

Deliverables
• One KMZ map and an electronic copy of the 2026 burrow survey map to the Client and CDFW.

Task 1c: Burrowing Owl Habitat Quality Analysis. UltraSystems’ biologists will develop and use a rubric for determining distinct levels of habitat quality. The highest level of BUOW habitat will be based on occupied BUOW habitat where BUOW or BUOW sign is observed during the 2026 focused or pre-construction BUOW surveys. For example, this highest level of BUOW habitat may include the area where occupied burrows are observed, including a buffer around that area to account for BUOWs in these areas using satellite burrows in the surrounding areas. Accordingly, the next highest level of BUOW habitat may be based on areas of high density of ground squirrel burrows where vegetation height is low and foraging and nesting conditions are optimal. Other levels of BUOW habitat may be rated on a descending level from optimal to marginal BUOW habitat. Areas containing soils that are highly compacted or paved, where BUOW are not expected to establish, such as paved, gravel-lined, or otherwise highly compacted soils, will not be considered BUOW habitat. Based on the habitat quality analysis, UltraSystems will provide CDFW with a KMZ and pdf map of the BUOW habitat map that shows the different tiers of BUOW habitat quality.

Deliverables
• One KMZ map and an electronic copy (pdf) of the BUOW habitat map, showing the tiered BUOW habitat quality levels, to the Client and CDFW.

Task 1d: Draft Burrowing Owl Survey Report. Following completion of the focused BUOW surveys by biologists, UltraSystems will finalize the existing focused BUOW survey report in accordance with Docusign Envelope ID: 2230E487-6F8D-4BBD-8001-F25695C1E9CC 108714

the guidelines described in the Staff Report. The report will : (1) summarize information regarding the BUOW’s natural history; (2) assess the habitat of the survey area and its suitability for the BUOW; (3) Record the location of suitable burrow s (natural and man -made) within the project site and a 165-foot buffer surrounding the project site. This data will be used to generate a burrow map as required within the Preview ITP that CDFW presented during the meeting on April 10, 2026 ; (4) describe the number, behavior, and location of any BUOWs detected during the surveys or assess the potential presence of BUOWs onsite ; (5) analyze the potential impacts to the BUOW from project development; and ( 6) recommend, as appropriate, best management practices (BMPs), avoidance and protection measures, and mitigation measures to reduce or avoid potential impacts to BUOWs.

The report will include: (1) methods and results of the literature review and field surveys; (2) one figure depicting the location of burrow s or burrow complex es within the project site and survey buffer, (3) figures depicting the location of BUOWs within the project site and survey buffer; and (4) site photographs.

Task 1e: Final Burrowing Owl Survey Report. The UltraSystems biological management team will conduct an internal review (QA/QC) of the BUOW survey report and submit to the Client. The draft with Client comments will go through a final series of responses to comments (RTC), revisions, and final formatting before a final electronic copy is submitted to the Client and CDFW. This task includes routine project management activities as needed. To support interactions between UltraSystems and Intex and/or the City, convey data and information, and to address and resolve outstanding issues as they arise throughout this work effort, one (1) progress meeting via Teams or Zoom has been budgeted. To the extent feasible, meeting schedules will correspond with draft deliverables or related milestone events and will be preceded by the delivery of draft documents to the Client for their review, prior to the meeting date.

UltraSystems will be available throughout the term of this work effort to respond to any requests for input concerning various aspects of these surveys. Additional meetings beyond the number indicated would be compensated for in accordance with the terms and conditions contained in our Standard Rate Schedule.

Deliverables
• One electronic copy each of the draft/final focused BUOW survey report to the Client and CDFW.

TASK 2: PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND COORDINATION
UltraSystems management staff have conducted actions in support of successful implementation of agency and permitting mitigation requirements including participation in a Preview ITP meeting with CDFW to review a preliminary draft of the ITP, research and meetings with landowners and land managers regarding potential habitat mitigation lands and BUOW receiver sites, discussions with biologists authorized to trap and relocate BUOWs, and other research and coordination.

To ensure continued effective communication between UltraSystems, CDFW, Intex and/or the City, two (2) coordination meetings via Teams or Zoom have been budgeted. To the extent feasible, meeting schedules will correspond with draft deliverables or related milestone events and will be preceded by the delivery of draft documents to the Client and CDFW for their review, prior to the meeting date.

UltraSystems will be available throughout the term of this work effort to respond to any requests for input concerning various aspects of these surveys. Additional meetings beyond the number indicated would be compensated for in accordance with the terms and conditions contained in our Standard Rate Schedule.

ASSUMPTIONS
• Our biologists will conduct surveys within the project site and within a zone 150 feet out from the project limits; defined the Biological Study Area (BSA). Surveys will be conducted in accessible portions of the BSA that contain BUOW suitable habitat (nesting, foraging, wintering, and dispersal habitat). Inaccessible areas and areas of private land will be surveyed with binoculars/scopes only. Surveys will not extend beyond the BSA. • During the BUOW surveys, biologists will walk straight-line belt transects spaced no more than 20 meters apart to allow approximately 100 percent visual coverage of the survey area and examine entrances of potential burrows and suitable man-made structures for BUOWs and signs of BUOWs.
• Biologists will identify, record, and map with a global positioning system (GPS) unit BUOWs , occupied BUOW burrows and complexes, and potential BUOW signs during BUOW surveys.

Detailed notes and wildlife species encountered during the surveys will be recorded in field notes.
• If field work is interrupted by weather or other circumstances beyond control, additional survey dates and travel costs may be incurred. The estimated costs provided in this proposal reflect a standard project without delays. The Client agrees to fulfill d ata needs requests in a timely fashion.
• Changes in the project description, project boundary, and project footprint (design) could trigger additional analyses, calculations, resubmittals and/or revisions to the report and/or figures. These additional actions will be billed on a time and material s basis, or a change order/proposal will be required.
• If BUOWs or signs of BUOWs are observed during the surveys, the site will be considered occupied and the BUOWs may need to be relocated by an authorized biologist. UltraSystems will contact CDFW to assist in the development of avoidance, minimization, and mitigation measures, prior to commencing project activities. CDFW may request an additional Relocation and Exclusion plan, however, this report assumed that the BUOW ITP will be sufficient to serve to meet the relocation and exclusion requirements as well. If additional plans are required, a change order/proposal may be necessary.
• CDFW requires that special status species identified onsite or in the BSA must be reported to the California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB) for informational and permitting purposes. • This proposal does not cover the following reporting and surveys that CDFW has indicated it may require as part of the final ITP: BUOW Mortality Reduction/Exclusion Plan , Burrow Excavation, Translocation Plan , other activities associated with monitoring, trapping, and translocating BUOWs.
• This proposal does not include pre-construction surveys for any species prior to construction. • This proposal does not include preparation of an ITP Amendment.

Environmental Services
The Westgate Complete Street Project began as a Public-Private Partnership in which the private developer, Intex, was responsible for providing engineering design and environmental services, after which the City would assume responsibility for construction. Intex originally retained Ultrasystems Environmental Inc. to perform environmental services for the project, including NEPA/CEQA support, permit and mitigation assistance. All required regulatory permits now have been successfully issued by the applicable agencies, and Ultrasystems’ original permitting-related tasks have been completed. As the City transitions into post-permit activities, the primary scope of work under this proposed task order is to continue coordination with the CDFW for the permit amendment. To maintain project continuity, retaining Ultrasystems as the environmental consultant is the most practical and efficient approach.

Procuring a new consultant at this stage would require additional time for onboarding and project familiarization, likely resulting in several months of schedule delay and potentially jeopardizing the federal funding awarded to the City. Therefore, it is in the City’s best interest to retain Ultrasystems as the project’s environmental consultant through completion of the project.

Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 1 to Task Order No. 2 (DE-24- 195-SQ) with NV5, Inc. in the amount of $180,000, and an amended Task Order total of $279,000 for additional plan check, map check, and WQMP review services.

COUNCIL GOALS:
· To invest in the city's infrastructure (streets, sewers, parks, etc.) by providing for the development of new infrastructure.

DISCUSSION:

On June 25, 2024, the City Council approved the Pre-Qualified Firms List to provide professional engineering services and authorized the City Manager to execute a Master Agreement with selected firms on an as-needed basis for a period of five (5) years from approval. Subsequently, the City and NV5, Inc. entered into a Master Agreement that included map checking, engineering plan checking, hydrology/hydraulic studies, and WQMP checking services.

Due to staffing shortages and a high volume of plan review requests, an amendment in the amount of $180,000 is requested to the existing task order of $99,000 to provide timely plan check review services.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The fiscal impact associated with the approval of this item is $180,000 and is included in the 2025-26 budget in the General Fund (Fund 101), in accounts 10137404-8116 in the amount of $60,000, 10137404-8130 in the amount of $60,000, and in the Storm Water Compliance Fund (Fund 125) in account 12537401-8130 in the amount of $60,000.

MOTION:

Approve staff recommendation.

FROM:

SUBJECT:

Approve an Agreement with the San Bernardino County Flood Control District Related to National Pollutant Elimination System (NPDES) Stormwater Permit
RECOMMENDATION:

1. Approve the National Pollutant Elimination System Stormwater Permit Implementation Agreement Santa Ana Region between the City of Fontana and the San Bernardino County Flood Control District.

2. Authorize the City Manager to enter into the Agreement. ..End
COUNCIL GOALS:
· To concentrate on Inter-governmental relations by working cooperatively with neighboring jurisdictions.
· To concentrate on Inter-governmental relations by establishing partnerships and positive working relationships with other public agencies providing services to residents and local businesses.

DISCUSSION:

The current Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (“MS4”) Permit is issued jointly to the County of San Bernardino, the San Bernardino County Flood Control District (collectively hereinafter referred to as “County”), and the sixteen incorporated cities (“co-permittees”) in the Santa Ana River Watershed portion of San Bernardino County. The San Bernardino County Flood Control District is the Principal Permittee. Its primary responsibilities are to administer the overall stormwater program in conjunction with the cities, lead in the development of programs, act as the liaison with water board staff, and prepare the consolidated required reports. As part of the requirements of the Permit, all co- permittees are required to enter into an “Implementation Agreement” which specifies the responsibilities of the co-permittees and establishes a cost-sharing formula for the program costs to be borne by each co-permittee.

The City Council approved the original NPDES Stormwater Implementation Agreement on May 5, 1992, and subsequently approved an amendment to the agreement on December 5, 1995.

In 2010, it was determined that the cost share formula contained ambiguities that prevented the City of Fontana Printed on 9/3/2026Page 1 of 2

Agenda #: I. Category: Consent Calendar
County from annually calculating land use conditions as required under the agreement. As a result, a new Implementation Agreement was developed to establish a revised cost share formula for allocating area-wide NPDES permit program costs among the co-permittees.

The updated formula provided a more equitable method for determining each co-permittee's cost share percentage by balancing the impacts of population, land area, and equal participation, resulting in a fairer distribution of costs among both large and small jurisdictions.

The proposed new Implementation Agreement does not modify the existing cost share formula. The current methodology for calculating each co-permittee's share of program costs will remain unchanged.

The most significant revision in the proposed agreement is the elimination of the County overhead rate applied to County staff time spent on area-wide program activities. At one point, this overhead rate reached 117% of direct labor costs. Removing the overhead charge will result in substantial savings to the Area-Wide Program budget. For example, in FY 2024/25, the total program budget was $3,944,093, of which approximately $527,000 was attributable to overhead costs.

Additional revisions to the agreement include:
· Modifying meeting requirements to align with the MS4 Permit requirements, or at a minimum, require quarterly meetings.
· Revising the agreement term so that it remains in effect until a new agreement is executed or a party provides a one-year notice of withdrawal.
· Establishing a deadline for co-permittees to pay their annual cost share contributions to ensure timely funding of Area-Wide Program activities.
· Removing obsolete provisions related to grants received under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.

These revisions are intended to streamline the agreement, improve administrative efficiency, reduce program costs, and ensure consistency with current regulatory requirements.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The cost share for the member agencies of the Area-Wide San Bernardino County Stormwater Program is calculated using a formula based on an equal share allocation, population, and land area.

The resulting cost share percentage is then applied to four program budget categories: Monitoring, Public Education, Program Management, and Training. The fiscal impact for the implementation agreement comes from the Solid Waste Mitigation Fund (Fund 282) account 28237713-8130.

For FY 2026/27, the City's cost share contribution is projected to decrease to 9.36%, resulting in an estimated contribution of $248,542. However, based on the recently released draft Santa Ana Regional Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit, implementation costs for the Area- Wide Program are anticipated to increase significantly, which may substantially impact future program costs for all member agencies.

MOTION:

Approve staff recommendation.
