STAFF REPORT
City Council Discussion Item
DATE: March 17, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Brendan Byrd, Public Works Director/City Engineer SUBJECT: The Great Redwood Trail and Strongs Creek Trail – Project Update and Grant Opportunity
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Receive staff presentation and provide direction to staff on how to proceed with developing a grant application for the Great Redwood Trail and Strongs Creek Trail in Fortuna.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

In 2014, the City finalized the John Campbell Memorial Greenway and Strongs Creek Trail Master Plan. This document was a feasibility-level planning study for the Strongs Creek Trail, which is a long-envisioned City plan for a Class I trail connecting the River Lodge area with Newburg Park.

Since the time the master plan was completed City staff have submitted a number of grant applications for funding, however, the City has ultimately been unsuccessful in obtaining any funding to move the trail project forward.

The Great Redwood Trail (GRT) is a non-motorized trail facility that would run along the alignment of the former railroad right of way, generally connecting Humboldt County to the northern San Francisco Bay area. Portions of this trail have been locally developed, with the trail essentially fully constructed in between south Eureka and Arcata (minus the Humboldt Bay Trail South, due to be completed in 2025). This larger Great Redwood Trail plan came closer to reality several years ago, when the former rail right of way was successfully rail banked from East Commercial Street in Willits to north Arcata, effectively setting the right of way aside for use as the trail. Through previous state legislation there has also since been the formation of the Great Redwood Trail Agency (GRTA), which is currently leading a master planning project and a programmatic environmental document for the trail. Staff from the GRTA will be attending the meeting, and will be providing an update on the GRT, the projects that have been completed along the right of way, and the projects that are currently in the planning phases.

Since 2019, the City has been actively completing project activities for the City’s two proposed interchange improvement projects, located at the Kenmar and 12th Street interchanges with Highway 101. Although these are interchange improvement projects, one of the main priorities in both locations is to provide for non-motorized transportation connectivity, which currently does not exist at either interchange. At Kenmar, the principal component of the non-motorized network would be the Strongs Creek Trail, which would run parallel to the interchange beneath the freeway, and into the former Palco Mill site. At both Kenmar and 12th Street the GRTA right of way, and future trail, move generally right through the center of the project area, running south to north.

Given the long-term importance of these trails, and how they interact with the interchange improvements, the design and location of theses crossing improvements has been a key part of the preliminary design for the projects.

Discussion Item 4a

Page 2 of 3 ends

As the interchange projects have continued to advance one item has become increasingly clearer to staff. To deliver the non-motorized improvements at these interchanges to the highest and best possible outcome, enough of the trail network needs to be developed in order to connect the interchange improvements to existing facilities and destinations within the City. As an example, in the short term should the Strongs Creek Trail at Kenmar only be designed and installed within the current boundary of the interchange project, the trail itself would not connect to any non-motorized facilities on either end. In summary, although the most difficult portion of the trail would have been constructed, it would not lead to any suitable destinations. Similarly, should the Mill Site begin any development activities the opportunity to have GRT connectivity, which ultimately could also connect to the Strongs Creek Trail, would not be a reality unless an agency took on the coordination and planning of the local section of trail in advance.

With this in mind, in mid-2024 staff began increasing efforts to identify possible grant programs that could fund the early development stages of Fortuna’s trail projects. Currently staff’s proposed approach would be to find a way to advance the engineering design and environmental portion of the trail projects, so that they are at a similar stage of readiness as the interchange projects. With that level of project readiness, the City would be better positioned to seek implementation funding through grants, as there is not currently a local funding source that could deliver these projects. A promising opportunity that staff are currently exploring is a grant through the State Coastal Conservancy (SCC), which has been providing staff support to the GRTA since its creation. The SCC has been funding planning work for various portions of the GRT throughout the entirety of the trail alignment, and through early discussions there is certainly interest in exploring a grant opportunity in Fortuna. In addition to the GRT, City staff are interested in seeing if the environmental and design work for the Strongs Creek Trail could be included in a funding application to the SCC.

In exploring the concept of a trail grant award in Fortuna, a question that has been posed is how much of the trail itself would be covered in a Fortuna planning grant. After some initial discussion, City staff and the GRTA’s initial recommendation would be to develop the environmental document and design plans for the portion of the trail from Alton at the Highway 36 interchange, to Fernbridge. See the figure included as Attachment A, which shows the proposed extent. Although this results in some design work outside of the City limits, it would take the trail to more logical termination points/destinations. Beyond these termination points another agency, such as the County or Caltrans, would need to step in. Staff actually have coordination meetings with both of these agencies set up in the coming weeks, and can report back to the Council on what planning work, if any, is being done for the GRT near Fortuna. It should be noted that any decision now does not constitute a binding commitment that the City deliver the construction phases of the project, or that the City take on long term maintenance or enforcement activities in the County, these details would all need to be worked out at a future time.

Given that advancing the Strong Creek Trail project has been dormant for some time, and the GRT is still a relatively new topic locally, staff are hoping to get feedback from the Council on how they would like staff to proceed. Specific points staff are seeking direction are listed below:

1. Is the Council in support of staff seeking funding to advance the Strongs Creek Trail and the Great Redwood Trail?

2. Is the Council in support of the proposed Great Redwood Trail project limits, from Fernbridge to Alton, recognizing some portions of the proposed trail are in the County?

3. Are there other questions or concerns that the Council has regarding the proposed trail project?
Discussion Item 4a

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

Currently there are no proposed City expenditures as a result of advancing this project, other than City staff time. Should the City be successful in receiving grant funds through the State Coastal Conservancy to advance the trail projects in Fortuna, that funding will need to be brought into the City budget as revenue. Staff do not anticipate there will be a requirement for local match funds as part of the grant application.

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

Receive staff presentation and provide direction to staff on how to proceed with developing a grant application for the Great Redwood Trail and Strongs Creek Trail in Fortuna.

Notices Posted (Public Hearing, Agenda, Ordinance, etc.) 8 On January 13, 2025, Clerk staff met Access Humboldt’s Production Manager Juan Carrillo, Director of Information Technology Clay McGlaughlin and their new Executive Director, Christina Jeffers. The purpose of the meeting was to provide a tour of the Council facilities and production equipment to Ms. Jeffers and make introductions. Staff will work with Juan Carrillo to schedule a time to review with Council microphone etiquette and best practices for streaming and recording Council meeting for public consumption via Access Humboldt, You Tube and other streaming methods.

Access Humboldt is also working with Clerk staff to obtain a quote to replace the cordless microphone in Council Chambers. The new microphone will have an electronic cradle to charge it, opposed to the battery operated style, as the current microphone has proven problematic in holding a charge.

RISK MANAGEMENT / HUMAN RESOURCES DIVISION
Risk Management
There were three new Worker’s Compensation claims as of February 18, 2025 and no new tort claims. City staff continues to work closely with LWP for Worker’s Compensation claims and George Hills our third party claims administrators to bring these claim to settlement or closure.

Currently the City has no open tort claims as they have all been successfully rejected or settled and closed.

Date of Claim Type of Claim Status
Following an incident that took place on March 3, 2025, involving damage to a police unit, risk staff is working collaboratively with the Public Works department and CIRA, the City’s risk pool, to replace the damaged vehicle as quickly as possible.

On February 24 through the 26th, Risk staff participated in the Annual Public Agency Risk Management Association (PARMA) conference. PARMA, was founded in 1974, by a group of eight risk managers. PARMA was the first organization of its kind, and was formed to provide a forum for California public sector risk managers to share ideas on how to perform their duties in this emerging field. At that time in the history of public entity risk management, no venue existed for risk managers to learn their trade, and most of what was being done was experimental in nature.

Risk management in public agency has and continues to evolve rapidly, particularly in regards to advancements in technological capabilities. This was the 51st Annual PARMA Conference and some of the topics covered were: administering leaves of absence, integrating Worker’s Compensation and safety for enhanced public agency resilience, Cal/OSHA update, workplace investigations, addressing implicit bias in Worker’s Compensation and claims management, ergonomics and psychiatric injuries and evolving approaches.

Risk staff will now be participating on the City’s risk pool, California Intergovernmental Risk Authority’s (CIRA) Executive Committee. The Executive Committee is elected from among the Consent Item 5a

Page 3 of 4 ends

Board, and meets quarterly to develop strategic goals and recommendations for the Board’s consideration. Subcommittees comprised of member subject matter experts (Finance, Underwriting, Coverage, etc.) support the Executive Committee. Risk staff will attend the first meeting during CIRA’s next Board meeting, March 20, 2025.

Computer/Network
City staff will begin working with Nylex to integrate to Microsoft 365. Nylex will be sending a quote and together, City staff is working on an implementation plan. Transitioning to Microsoft 365 is required due to obsolete Microsoft office suite that the City currently uses.

In addition, staff is working with Nylex to relocate some of the existing City servers from a small room upstairs in City Hall to a new server location downstairs. This will provide streamlined access for Nylex and It support staff to troubleshoot servers, internet, phone and any other connectivity issues that may arise. It will eliminate the need for air conditioned ventilation in the upstairs server room and will also provide a large more organized storage space for the various hardware the network system requires. Also, by streamlining the equipment, the upstairs server room will be able to house the utility bill folding machine, which will create improved usable space in City Hall.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Fiscal Year 2025-26 Budget:

Staff presented the mid-year budget review at the February 18 Council Meeting. Conducting this review is the first step in preparing the FY 2025-26 budget. The next steps include staff compiling preliminary revenue estimates and soliciting each departments FY 2025-26 budget requests.

Part of the solicitation of department requests will be a separate list of items each department is requesting to be funded from the City’s transaction and use tax, Measure E. These lists will be presented to the Measure E committee on March 18. The committee then has a follow up meeting scheduled for April 1 to discuss which of those items presented to them will be included in the committee’s recommendation to the City Council. Once staff has compiled this information, a special budget workshop will be scheduled where it will be presented and discussed with the Council. Staff is targeting the end of April for the first special budget workshop with Council.

Tax Reporting:

Tax reporting for 2024 was the second year that electronic filing was mandated for the City. Staff worked extensively to create online accounts and receive the proper access to the applicable electronic filing databases for our new Payroll and Benefits Administrator. W-2’s and 1099’s were due to be filed by January 31, and 1098’s and 1094-C’s were due to be filed by March 3. All forms were filed before the deadline despite some unanticipated roadblocks, all members of the Finance Department should be commended as this was a team effort.

Measure E Update:

The Measure E committee’s next regularly scheduled meeting is set for March 18, 2025 at 5:30pm.

The primary purpose of this meeting will be for the committee to receive funding proposals from City Departments.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Monday Club Chimney and Main Street Gateway
Both the Gateway and Chimney projects have been substantially completed and the Notices of Completion have been filed with the County. Both projects came in at budget. The only item of work remaining for the Gateway project is for Mad Metals to complete fabrication of the remaining decorative art pieces.

Stormdrain Lining Project
As noted in the previous monthly report, the City’s contractor is waiting for a sustained period of dry weather to remobilize and complete the PVC lining portion of the project. Staff are hopeful that it will be completed by the end of April.

Upcoming Contracts
Over the past month staff have been working on a number of contracts to be put out to bid in March. These include the City’s annual maintenance contracts for concrete, paving and striping, which should be brought to the Council for Award in May. The other contract is the City’s annual percolation pond rehabilitation project at the Wastewater Treatment Plant, which is anticipated to be put out to bid the week of March 17th.

Palmer Creek CSD Wastewater Agreement
City staff recently participated in an initial meeting with staff and board members from the Palmer Creek Community Services District (PCCSD). The District provides potable water and wastewater collection services to its customers, and through an agreement with the City, sends their wastewater effluent to the City’s treatment plant. The agreement that the City and PCCSD operate under is over 30-years old, and with that staff at both agencies have decided to initiate discussions on updating the terms of the agreement. City staff will be working to develop a draft agreement for review by the Council, before sending it to the PCCSD board for review.

12th Street Pedestrian Safety Request
At the February 3rd City Council Meeting, Measure E Committee Chair Sue Long passed forward to the Council a request made during public comment at the Measure E meeting the previous month. The comment was received by staff at Fortuna Union High School, which had circulated a petition in hopes of improving traffic/pedestrian safety along the 12th Street corridor near the high school. This topic has since been taken up by the City’s traffic safety committee.

Currently, public works and police department staff have initiated a number of initial measures to identify the problem (and possible solutions). Staff have regularly performed field observations during the busy times (student pickup/drop off and lunch). Additionally, staff have temporarily placed both of the City’s radar feedback signs along the road, which can both alert drivers when they are speeding, and record the actual speeds of all cars on the road.

In the coming months, staff anticipate identifying some solutions which could be implemented to address safety. Depending on the scope of the proposed improvements/traffic measures, this item may come to the Council for further consideration.

Downtown Water and Sewer Line Project
In January the Council approved a contract task order with GHD to initiate the Downtown Water and Sewer Line Project, which will replace a number of water and sewer mains in the neighborhood surrounding 12th street. Over the past month, the City has contracted with GHD, and some initial site investigations have been performed along the sewer line near Rohner Creek. Per the approved scope of work, GHD will be working on pre-design activities through the early summer, which will lead into full engineering design afterwards. Staff anticipate this project will go to construction in 2026.

Mill Creek Habitat Connectivity Project
The City’s engineering consultant recently submitted the 65% design package for review. Staff anticipate providing comments back before the end of March. With the 65% designs complete, staff can begin to consider applying for grants to construct the priority fish passage crossings that are part of the project. The search for implementation funding will likely begin with the Weber Street crossing, which is the furthest downstream.
12th Street Interchange Project
The Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration (ISMND – CEQA document) for the 12th Street Interchange Project was released for public review on February 26th. Comments are due back from the public on March 28th to be considered in the final ISMND. Staff are planning to take the approval of the ISMND, and the project, to the Council at the April 7th regular City Council Meeting. The document can be found on the City’s website at the following link:

b.) 12 hour shift; three 12-hour days, one week with three 12-hour days and an 8 hours day the following week.

For purposes of the FLSA the work period for miscellaneous police employees working under the 52 week 7(b) exemption, shall be fourteen (14) days and shall consist of no more than eighty (80) hours within said work period at non-overtime rate of pay.

Under this agreement, overtime is defined as time worked in excess of the scheduled workday or time worked on a scheduled day off. In all events, time worked in excess of the hours specified above for a work period under the FLSA shall be overtime.

4. Scheduling
A. One (1) Police Sergeant, one (1) Police Officer, one (1) Dispatcher assigned to a relief position shall be scheduled to work a modified one hundred and sixty (160) hours in two (2) pay periods. Sergeant, Officer and Dispatcher assigned to relief positions may be scheduled to work an eight (8) hour, ten (10) hour or twelve (12) hour shift, or other modified shift hours to be determined by the scheduling supervisor with approval by the Chief of Police, and may or may not work successive days and/or enjoy successive days off, but shall not work more than eight (8) consecutive days without a day off. Sergeants and Officers will not be assigned as relief position more than once every twelve (12) FPEA MOU FY 2025-2027

Page 17 of 28 ends

months unless voluntarily or in the case of an emergency.

B. If at any time Department staffing drops below a sufficient level of non-grant funded Police Officers (including trainees) as determined by the Chief of Police and the City Manager, the City shall have the option of immediately discontinuing the 4-10 and/or the 3-12 schedules and or create a new schedule until such time as staffing rises to a sufficient level of Police Officers and/or dispatchers.

C. When an employee represented by the Association works a split shift (for example 7:00 p.m. to 3:00 a.m.), said employee will not be paid overtime if he or she has been given no less than eight (8) hours off duty before returning to another scheduled work shift. The City agrees that such scheduling will not occur twice in any three shifts to create a double, double back.

D. An employee in the field training program or community services officer or dispatch in an initial training program may be assigned to work other than a regular work week in order to allow him/her to work different shifts with different trainers as a part of his/her training program. The employee in the training program should be scheduled to work eighty (80) hours in a pay period when determined feasible by the Chief of Police. The employee in the training program shall be scheduled to work one hundred and sixty (160) hours in two (2) pay periods. The employee in the training program may be scheduled to work an eight (8) hour, ten (10) hour or twelve (12) hour shift, or other modified shift hours to be determined by the scheduling supervisor with approval by the Chief of Police and may or may not work successive days and/or enjoy successive days off, but shall not work more than eight (8) consecutive days without a day off.

E. Shift rotation will occur in the months of January, April, July, and October at the start of a work period. The applicable work period will be determined by the Chief of Police and the scheduling supervisor to be the least disruptive, ensure police coverage of services and provide uninterrupted 80-hour work periods. Shift change may require an employee to work more than five (5) consecutive days because of changes in scheduled days off.

F. Additionally during the Shift Rotation process when an employee rotates from a night shift to an immediate day shift, a day off must be initiated as the employee cannot work 24 hours straight. The employees affected by this rotation would not meet their 80 hour work period so in order to resolve this, the scheduling supervisor will determine and will make scheduling adjustments to insure the employee will work 80 hours in the work period. This can be accomplished by adjusting work hours or by providing the employee the day off and an alternative day, which will meet the Department’s needs, will be selected from the employee’s days off during the same work period. If the scheduling supervisor determines there is adequate shift coverage then the affected employee may be offered the opportunity to utilize compensatory time or vacation time to fulfill the 80 hours in the work period.

5. Seniority
For purposes of scheduling seniority will be determined by time in a job class with the City, not time employed by the City.

FPEA MOU FY 2025-2027

Any employee who exceeds the CTO cap will automatically receive payment of any overage on the next regular payday. Employees who are at or above the cap at the time this agreement is adopted will be allowed to maintain all accumulated compensatory time, but will not accrue additional time until they fall below the cap.

C. An employee who has accrued compensatory time off shall be permitted by his/her supervisor to use such compensatory time within a reasonable period after making the request if the use of the compensatory time does not unduly disrupt the operations of the City as determined by the Chief of Police or his/her designee. Compensatory time off shall be taken in quarter-hour increments.

FROM: Aaron Felmlee, Finance Director
THROUGH: Amy Nilsen, City Manager
SUBJECT: Approve Supplemental Budget Request to Purchase a New Domain Controller STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Approve a Supplemental Budget Request (SBR) for the Purchase of a new domain controller.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The City’s existing domain controllers are three versions behind and are now out of support by Microsoft. The domain controllers are used by Okta which is an identity and access management service that is required as part of the City of Fortuna’s finance software. Okta notified the City last month that on April 3, 2025 the City’s existing domain controllers would need an update to ensure our Tyler Identity Workforce products (finance software) integrating with the Active Directory agent continue to function.

Updating the domain controller will also add value to the City’s current efforts with the Office 365 project. Nylex has provided a quote to complete the work.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

Purchase and installation of the new domain controller is $22,905.52. Of the total cost, $18,400 will need to come from General Fund reserves, $1,610 from the Water Fund, and $2,990 from the Wastewater Fund.

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

Approve a Supplemental Budget Request (SBR) in the amount of $23,000 for the Purchase and installation of a new domain controller. Consent Agenda vote.

STAFF REPORT
City Council Business Item
DATE: March 17, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Brendan Byrd, Public Works Director/City Engineer THROUGH: Amy Nilsen, City Manager
SUBJECT: Authorize the City Manager to Execute a Professional Services Contract Amendment with Jacobs Engineering for City’s Wastewater NPDES Compliance Project (CIP 0171)
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Authorize the City Manager to execute a professional services contract amendment in the amount of $1,829,722 with Jacobs Engineering to provide engineering and support services for the City of Fortuna Wastewater NPDES Compliance Project (CIP 0171) and establish a contract not to exceed limit of $4,900,000.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The City of Fortuna is the owner and operator of the Tom Cooke Memorial Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP). The plant currently operates as an activated sludge secondary treatment facility, which focuses on the removal of organic matter and suspended solids, and at present does not treat the effluent to remove nutrients (nitrogen or phosphorus). Under current operating conditions, treated effluent is discharged during wet weather periods to Strongs Creek and during dry weather periods to two percolation ponds located generally along the eastern bank of the Eel River.

The City’s WWTP operates under the jurisdiction of the North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board (Board). In 2017 the Board adopted a Time Schedule Order (TSO) and Waste Discharge Requirement (WDR) for the City’s WWTP. Specifically these orders require that the City treat wastewater to remove nitrogen (by enforcing effluent nitrogen limits on the City’s WWTP), and to move the City’s dry weather effluent discharge from the existing percolation ponds to a new location not affecting surface water flows. Also included in these orders is a compliance schedule, which outlines the timeframe in which the City is required to achieve the overarching goals of the orders. The primary work products required by the Board Orders are shown in the table below:

After receiving the orders from the Board in 2017, the City began working with GHD to complete all items included in the Preliminary Engineering and CEQA Compliance phase of work, shown in Table 1 above. These items have been completed and furnished to the Board in 2020.

After completing the Preliminary Engineering and CEQA Compliance phase of work, staff decided to put the Engineering Design and Permitting phase of the project out for competitive bid. In October of 2020, this culminated in awarding a $3 million engineering contract to Jacobs Engineering. In early 2021 the Jacobs team began developing work under the Project Definition phase of work in the scope, which included gathering treatment plant data, developing the wastewater process models, and performing the preliminary field investigations required in order to facilitate the design. These investigations included the project topographic survey, and the geotechnical/geophysical investigation required to facilitate the design of the directionally-bored pipeline that at that time was envisioned to lead to a new subsurface effluent disposal field on the western side of the Eel River.

In early 2022, the City was contacted by the Regional Board regarding the City’s deliverables associated with the Preliminary Engineering and CEQA Compliance phase of work (as noted submitted in 2020). The Board took exception to the Preliminary Report of Waste Discharge, which showed that the proposed subsurface percolation field on the opposite side of the river would result in basin plan violations of water quality. This finding put the City’s proposed project into uncertainty, specifically the proposed effluent disposal field on the opposite side of the river. With significant uncertainly suddenly thrust into the project, the City paused the engineering design contract with Jacobs, and reallocated funding within the existing contract to cover new work tasks.

Approximately $625,000 of the original contract was repurposed for other professional support that was required to deal with the new project uncertainties. This work included assistance to update the City’s grant funding application, a CEQA document amendment, providing triennial review support, expediting the City’s water and wastewater rate study, and providing oversight for the City’s updated Anti-Degradation Analysis.

From 2022 to late 2024, City staff and Jacobs worked with the Regional Board to re-envision the project, specifically the requirement that the City move the location of dry weather periods effluent discharge. Through some expanded analysis which modelled the proposed effluent disposal field on the opposite side of the river, it was found that over time the new percolation fields were anticipated to result in the same impacts as the current percolation ponds at the WWTP. With this Business Item 6b

Page 3 of 5 ends

finding, City staff were very hesitant to proceed with a project that either could be rejected by the Board, or could be deemed out of compliance within a short period of time with the ever-changing regulatory climate. Thus, in early 2024, staff perused being added to the Triennial Review list to seek a Basin Plan Amendment, which has the potential to allow the City to continue to use the existing percolation ponds for dry weather effluent disposal into the future. The City was successfully added to the project review list in the summer of 2024, and staff are working with the Regional Board to characterize what work is required to substantiate and obtain the amendment.

With the disposal portion of the project on a track for an alternate resolution, staff worked with Jacobs to re-evaluate the treatment plant upgrade project. This included taking ‘a few steps back’ and re-performing some of the Project Definition work, which was done using some of the reallocated design funding noted above. The primary goal of reassessing the Project Definition work phase was to make sure that the compliance project at the WWTP would be robust and scalable in the future, given that regulatory treatment mandates will continue increase the requirements put on the City. Additionally, given that another five years had elapsed since the previous contract, staff have identified a number of new items that needed to be included in the project, most notably including installing an automated flow equalization system (to help the WWTP manage high flows during the winter), and redesigning and constructing a new SCADA network, which is the computer system that runs and records the functions of the entire plant. The City’s current SCADA system will be unsupported by the hardware suppliers in 2028.

Recognizing that many years have elapsed, previous contract funding was reallocated to complete unanticipated tasks, and the project definition has changed, the City now needs to renegotiate a contract scope and fee with Jacobs. In late 2024, staff began working with Jacobs on this item, which is the primary subject of this staff report. Specifics on the requested fee by Jacobs are discussed in further detail below.

Lastly, staff would like to note that the amendment scope, fee, and schedule have been reviewed in detail and staff believe the proposed fee is reasonable, and the proposed scope would cover the work necessary to bring the City into compliance with existing regulatory orders. Staff strongly recommend that the Council approve the proposed contract amendment.

Total $2,860,759 $1,829,722 $4,690,481

1. This fee was $2,311,536 in original contract. Was reduced by $625,100 in 2023 to fund unanticipated project work.

As shown, an additional $1,829,722 is being requested by Jacobs to augment the existing contract and take the Engineering Design phase of this project to full completion. The funding augmentations would go to the Final Engineering Design and Project Management phases of work, which are the two scope areas where previous unanticipated efforts were paid from. Also to be noted above is that some of the adjustments are negative, these are task items that came in under the projected budget, and therefore can be moved back toward the Engineering Design phase.

To help put the rationale for the fee increase into perspective, staff have also developed the table below. As previously noted, the need for a contract change order includes three major components; time elapsed and the associated inflation in engineering rates, use of previous design funds for other project deliverables (rate study, triennial review support, project definition), and an expansion of the treatment plant project definition. These factors and their estimated cost implications are summarized below.

Table 3. Approximate breakdown of need for contract fee amendment.

Fee Amendment Reason Fee Impact
Approximate Inflation in Engineering
Rates over 5-years (~20%) $660,000
Budget Previously Reallocated from
Engineering Design $625,000
New Budget for Scope Added to Project $553,000
Total 1,838,000
As shown and discussed above, Jacobs is requesting an adjustment to their total fee to $4,690,481, which is $1,829,722 above the fee previously agreed to in 2020. However, staff will note that at the time of initial contract award the council authorized a contract not to exceed value of $3 million, which allowed for some budgetary flexibility should small issues arise that require change orders.

Business Item 6b

Page 5 of 5 ends

With similar intent, staff are asking now that the Council authorize a contract amendment that would provide the additional funding shown in Table 2 above, and that the Council authorize a change to the contract not to exceed value to $4,900,000. This would provide for an additional ~$200,000 in contingency funding that the City could use in case further changes are identified during the design or permitting process that necessitate a change order with Jacobs.

The additional design funding would be paid for from the Wastewater Reserve Fund (560), which currently has a fund balance of $9 million. The NPDES Compliance Project was also one of the key budget considerations for the recent water and wastewater rate study and rate adjustments that were adopted in 2024. In the five-year rate study, the project was budgeted at $40 million in City funding potential, with an anticipated additional $5.5 million that is expected to be made available as grant funding from the Clean Water State Revolving fund. The current project delivery estimate is approximately $45 million (including Construction and Engineering), which generally matches the City’s budgeting at this point.

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

1. Receive staff presentation and review Council questions with staff

2. Open Public Comment

3. Close Public Comment

4. Motion to approve a professional services contract amendment in the amount of $1,829,722 with Jacobs to provide engineering and support services for the City of Fortuna Wastewater NPDES Compliance Project, CIP 0171, and establish a contract no to exceed limit of $4,900,000. Roll Call Vote.

Exhibit 1: Detailed Scope of Work for Amendment 1
This scope of work is an exhibit to Amendment 3, between Jacobs (Consultant), and the City of Fortuna (City), for engineering and consulting services related to the NPDES Compliance Project.

Task 5 FINAL DESIGN
These tasks involve preparation of drawings, specifications and cost estimates with the ultimate goal of providing one set of bid documents for use in procuring a contractor to construct the Project. This scope assumes the Project as defined by the Project Definition Report (Jacobs 2025).

Quality Control
Jacobs will implement and carry out a quality control (QC) program throughout Task 5. The review process includes coordinating the participation of senior reviewers at appropriate points in the Project. Jacobs will perform multidisciplinary internal QC review activities using a senior review team during the progress of the Task 5. QC review activities will be governed by the requirements of an overall Project Quality Management Plan. All design documents will be reviewed by assigned QC reviewers, comments addressed, and changes incorporated, prior to submission to the City for review. Project deliverables will be reviewed from the perspective of sound engineering design, constructability, construction cost, and operability.

Cost Estimates
Cost estimates willbe prepared to a level of accuracy based on the information available, within normal industry standards. Estimates will be formatted in accordance with the Project Design Construction Specifications Institute(CSI) specification format and segregated by facility. Where sufficiently detailed information is lacking to obtain reasonably accurate quantities of materials, allowances will be used to provide an opinion of the estimated construction costs at the midpoint of construction. Cost estimates and levels of accuracy (Class level)will conform to American Association of Cost Engineering International, AACE Recommended Practice No. 18R- 97.

Task 5.1 Schematic Design (30%)
The schematic design further develops the design concepts confirmed during Project Definition phase for this project, and based on the peer review reports and feasibility studies.

Jacobs will begin development of the major project elements associated with the WWTP design, equipment selections and layouts, process flow diagrams, and the preliminary site and electrical plans.

Jacobs will conduct a review meeting with City staff to discuss the major concepts and findings of the 30 percent submittal including presenting the pdf versions of the 3D models of the proposed facilities.

Jacobs will receive the City’s review comments at the meeting and will discuss major design concepts, layout, and operational impacts accompanying the new design. Major action items and decisions will be documented in minutes that will be distributed to the City and Jacobs’ design teams. At this meeting the City will provide Jacobs with specific drawing markups or comments, to be used in development of the Intermediate Design (Task 5.2).

Jacobs Engineering Inc. 4
Each task will include specific deliverables as listed therein. QA/QC reviews will be conducted to monitor the quality of the Project at critical design milestones. Jacobs assumes that the City’s written review comments will be submitted to Jacobs within two weeks after each design submittal identified herein.

Task 5.1.1 Survey (Completed Prior to Amendment 3)
The topography for the three Assessor Parcels, 106-041-16, 106-091-040 and 030, identified as the EPS and the connection through the Eel River to the WWTP will be mapped at a horizontal scale of 1”=40’ with a contour interval of 2’ using industry standard LIDAR aerial mapping procedures. In addition, portions of Assessor Parcels 106-041-015, 200-352-06, 200-352-09, and 200-352-04, and 200-352-028 will be mapped similarly as they relate to HDD alignment and tie in point at the Plant.

The mapping will be compiled with a horizontal coordinate system based upon the North American Datum (NAD) of 1983 and a vertical datum based upon the North American Vertical Datum (NAVD) of 1988. Mapping on these datums will provide the basis for geo-referenced mapping for use in the project environmental analysis and NPDES permitting. The topography will be compiled in an AutoCAD Civil 3D format and a scaled digital color ortho photo of the overall project site will be provided incorporating the EPS and WWTP topography, and Flood Plain data.

The Jacobs team will provide precise field surveys I to control the aerial LIDAR mapping and establish the NAD ‘83/NAVD ’88 basis for the project mapping. The field surveys will verify the LIDAR mapping by spot checks and develop topography below the water surface of the Eel River to provide design data and control forthe horizontal direction drilling tying the EPS to the WWTP. The topography below the water surface will be determined using a watercraft and sounding equipment during low river flows typically before the endof October. Supplemental ground surveys for HDD tie in point at plant will be performed. Additionally, some survey data City of Fortuna acquired in August 2019 by Gutierrez Land Surveying will be incorporated for Aeration Basin conversion, assuming control noted thereon is found and can be verified as correct.

Topographic survey will consist of digital color orthophotos and LIDAR derived elevation data and river bottom elevations as described above. Vector data mapping will be provided at WWTP by aerial means and as described above in supplemental ground surveys.

Durable property corners will be set at major angle points of the parcels and a Record of Survey will be filed with the County Recorder.

Deliverables:
• Electronic topographic files at 1”=20’ scale with 1-foot contours for the WWTP. • Electronic topographic files at 1”=40’ scale with 2-foot contours for the Disposal Field.

Assumptions:
• Does not include construction staking
Task 5.1.2 Alternatives Analysis
Jacobs will conduct an alternatives analysis on select pieces of equipment to be constructed as part of the Project. These include:
• Anoxic and anaerobic mixers
• Blowers
• Supplemental carbon/alkalinity addition

Jacobs Engineering Inc. 5
This task will culminate in a virtual workshop, where Jacobs will provide a recommended alternative for each piece of equipment. The City will then select one equipment to be carried forward into detailed design. Jacobs will provide a draft alternatives analysis technical memorandum. Jacobs will then incorporate City comments, with the final technical memorandum to be included in the Basis of Design Report.

Deliverables:
• Draft workshop PowerPoint presentation, delivered electronically in PDF format Task 5.1.3 WWTP Geotechnical Investigation
The focus of the geotechnical field investigation is to characterize subsurface conditions at the locations of the proposed site improvements which includes the following:
• Aeration Basins
• Chemical Storage Structure
• SCADA Building
The field exploration program will consist of advancing five Cone Penetrometer Test (CPT) soundings at the locations shown in Figure 1 included on Attachment 1. The CPTs will be advanced to a depth of 60 feet beneath the existing ground surface.

Each CPT will include a minimum of two (2) pore pressure dissipation tests performed within silts or sand materials at varying depths below 15 feet. Seismic shear wave velocities will be measured at 5-foot intervals in a minimum of two (2) CPTs using a seismic cone, at the northern and southern exploration locations.

After analysis of the CPT data, rotary wash geotechnical borings may be requested to collect soil samples for laboratory analysis. The need for rotary wash borings, however, is not known at this time. Therefore, cost has been included for the CPT field investigation and data report preparation, only, in this scope. An amended cost will be provided for additional geotechnical borings, laboratory testing, and reporting.

Prior to performing fieldwork, the CPT locations will be marked on the field and Underground Services Alert (USA) will be notified in order to identify all public underground utilities at the exploration locations.

Additionally, the CPT locations will be cleared by the Fortuna WWTP personnel. Prior to start of the field investigation, Jacobs will obtain a boring permit from the Humboldt County Division of Environment Health. All fieldwork will be performed by a licensed Certified Engineering Geologist. The CPT holes will be backfilled in accordance with Humboldt County regulations using Portland cement placed from the bottom of the hole to the surface with a tremie pipe.

Jacobs Engineering Inc. 6
Assumptions:
• Jacobs will be made aware of the locations of all private underground utilities at the site by Fortuna WWTP personnel for the purpose of determining the final CPT locations. The cost associated with hiring a private utility locator, if required, is not included in the estimate. • The fees associated with hiring the drilling subcontractor will be subject to prevailing wage rates.

Deliverables:

A Geotechnical Data Report will be prepared to document the conditions encountered. The report will be stamped and signed by a professional Geotechnical Engineer and Certified Engineering Geologist registered in the State of California.

Data from the CPT soundings will be provided in the final report and will include the raw data files, CPT subcontractor reports, CPT calibration data, pore pressure dissipation tests plots, shear wave velocity calculations, and plots of cone resistance, sleeve friction, pore pressure, and soil behavior type profiles for each sounding. Specifically, the final Geotechnical Data Report will include the following:
• Site description including water levels observed in any ponds adjacent to the CPT soundings • Summary of field investigation activities
• Summary of subsurface conditions
• Groundwater observations
• CPT report as an appendix
Task 5.1.4 30 Percent Design
Jacobs will compile the preliminary drawings, renderings, and specifications list in a technical memorandum, that will serve as the 30 Percent Design Report. The report will include a description of the planned modification to each WWTP unit process, , and support facilities. The report will also include preliminary hydraulic profile from the primary effluent distribution box to the effluent pumps including all recommended processes. It is anticipated that the Basis of Design (30 Percent Design) Report will include the following elements:
• Final Alternatives Analysis Technical Memorandum
• Detailed description of WWTP improvements
• Geotechnical Data Report
• SCADA Alternatives Analysis
• Half-size construction drawings (11-inch by 17-inch)
• List of anticipated specification sections
• List of anticipated final design drawings
• Class 3 Construction Cost Estimate
Task 5.1.5 30 Percent Design Review Workshop
The 30 Percent Design Review is intended to show the initial design concepts and features included in the Bid Package.

Jacobs Engineering Inc. 7
Jacobs will conduct a review workshop with City staff to present and discuss the major concepts and findings of the 30 Percent Design. This review is intended to be done by viewing the design models and design drawings on-screen during the workshop. Jacobs will receive the City’s initial review comments at the workshop and will discuss outstanding issues. Major action items and decisions from the workshop will be documented in meeting minutes that will be distributed to City and Jacobs’s design team.

Assumptions:
• A maximum of one 6-hour meeting, held at the City’s office, will be required for the review meeting. • 3 Jacobs staff will attend the review meeting
Deliverables:
• 2 hard copies of the 30 Percent Design Report
• 1 copy of the 30 Percent Design Report, submitted electronically in PDF format • Review Meeting minutes
Task 5.2 Intermediate Design (60%)
The objective of this task is to build on the concepts developed in the Schematic Design Phase. The design team, with input from the City, will work to finalize key design decisions and complete the required calculations that support them. Process design, structures configuration plans and sections, piping layout, and hydraulic profiles will be finalized in this phase to allow final detailing in the next design phase.

Task 5.2.1 Geotechnical Investigation (Completed Prior to Amendment 3) There have been at least 7 geotechnical borings at the existing WWTP; therefore geotechnical investigation will be focused on characterizing the directional drill. This will include two 125-foot-deep geotechnical borings along the approximate proposed drill path. The drills are anticipated within the Mercer-Fraser property south of the WWTP, and along existing trails on the eastern margin of the parcel planned for the southwestern entry/exit pit (APN 106-041-016).

A 40-foot boring would be completed at the southwestern entry/exit pit, west of the Eel River. An additional 40-foot boring may be advanced at the proposed percolation field or at the WWTP entry/exit pit, depending on project priorities. Geotechnical borings will be logged by a California licensed engineering geologist and undisturbed samples will be collected for testing at Consultant’s fullyaccredited Eureka testing facility. Lab testing will depend on the materials encountered, but expect to test for unconfined compression, moisture content and dry density, and triaxial or direct shear, as appropriate.

Corrosion testing would be completed as required.

The geotechnical investigation is designed to provide the following information:
• Description of site conditions and the local geology based on available geologic information and those encountered during the field investigation;
• Assessment of potential earthquake-related geologic/geotechnical hazards (strong seismic shaking, surface fault rupture, liquefaction, site instability); • Characterization of geotechnical site conditions;
• Characterization of design and construction considerations including:

Jacobs Engineering Inc. 8
• Pipeline entry, exit, and staging areas;
• Soil parameters for use in hydraulic fracture analysis; • Conditions that may provide potential for high rate of drill fluid loss; • Potential construction risks;
• Geotechnical recommendations related to shallow pipelines, WWTP improvements, and the percolation field trenches, as necessary. We expect this task to be relatively minor.

The geophysical investigation will be conducted following the drilling program. The boring logs will be provided to the geophysics team. The geophysics investigation will collect data using a Geometrics 96- channel distributed array seismic system along with an accelerated weight drop seismic source.The investigation will acquire the data using standard roll-along techniques with an asymmetric split-spread configuration. Considering the desired depth range, geophones will be distributed at the at 5-ft intervals and the shot points at 10-ft intervals. Given the 3500-ft length of the transect this will result in a total of about 350-shot points.

Assumptions:

The investigation assumes that appropriate permits can be attained for the proposed field investigation.

The project site is within the Coastal Zone, which requires a Coastal Development Permit; we expect this to be a lengthy and challenging exercise (based on recent experience). We assume permits are attained by the project team. We assume that access will be granted to properties along the proposed pipeline alignment for exploration purposes. The geophysical investigation would occur after the drilling program has been completed.

Deliverables:

Geotechnical Investigation Report. The report will include boring logs, laboratory test results, and all relevant data generated during the investigation.

The Geophysics Report will be included as an attachment to the Geotechnical Investigation Report. The geophysics report will provide stacked, migrated seismic sections illustrating the subsurface conditions along the length of the transect, along with descriptions of the methodology, data acquisition and analysis procedures and interpretation of the results.

Task 5.2.2 60 Percent Design
In this task, the preliminary design engineering decisions made in the 30 Percent Design Report will be used and further developed. Structures, equipment, major plant piping, process, demolition, instrumentation and control concepts, electrical, and site plans will be developed during this phase to allow final detailing during the next phase of design. If required, potholing at the WWTP will be conducted to determine below grade structures in the project area. The 60 Percent Design is intended to show the major design concepts and features included in the Bid Package.

Construction Cost Estimate
Consultant will develop a Class 2 construction cost estimate for the planned construction project.

Jacobs Engineering Inc. 9
Task 5.2.3 60 Percent Design Review Workshop
Jacobs will conduct a review workshop with City staff to present and discuss the major concepts and findings of the Intermediate Design. This review is intended to be done by viewing the design models and design drawings on-screen during the workshop. Jacobs will receive the City’s initial review comments at the workshop and will discuss outstanding issues. Major action items and decisions from the workshop will be documented in meeting minutes that will be distributed to the City and Jacobs’s design team.

Assumptions:
• A maximum of one 6-hour meeting, held at the City’s office, will be required for the review meeting • 3 Jacobs staff will attend the review meeting
Deliverables:
• 60 Percent Submittal:
– 2 hard copies of half-size construction drawings, standard details, and specifications – 1 copy submitted electronically in PDF format
• 60 Percent Design Construction Cost Estimate – Jacobs will furnish the City with a Class 2 estimate of construction costs at the Intermediate Design completion level, emailed in PDF format • Review Workshop Meeting Minutes
Task 5.3 Contract Documents (90%)
