SUBJECT: 2024 CARB & EPA Emissions Update TSB # 23-66
DATE: 8-4-23
California Air Resources Board (CARB) & Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have both updated their requirements for new trucks ordered and built in 2024. The following updates to Emission, Clean Idle, and Surcharge codes are to support the new CARB & EPA requirements. In 2024, both California and Oregon are considered CARB States.

These option code requirements and guidelines are governed by a vehicles State of Registration and the state of operation. Vehicles that will operate in a CARB state have different requirements then vehicles that will operate only in EPA states.

Vehicles that will DOT register in an EPA state and operate only in an EPA state, the following EPA rules apply to your order. EPA has developed a new Federal Clean Idle label, Reference TSB 23-65, that will be required on all EPA certified MY24 diesel engines. Vehicles with only an EPA Federal Clean Idle label cannot DOT Register or operate in CARB states. EPA only orders will require an EPA Emission Warranty 5-Year/100,000 Mile and an EPA Engine Idling Compliance label code.

Vehicles that will DOT register in an EPA state and operate in a CARB state, the following EPA and CARB rules apply to your order. All new vehicles that will operate in a CARB state will require a CARB Clean Idle label. CARB also requires extended Emission Warranty of 5-years / 350,000 Mile, or 5-Years / 150,000 for PX engines, on all MY2024 vehicles with a CARB Clean Idle label. To operate in a CARB State, orders will need CARB Emission Warranty, CARB Engine Idling Compliance label, and CARB operating Base Warr: Emissions surcharge code. Vehicles with a Cummins diesel engine, that operate in a CARB State, require both an EPA and CARB Engine Idling Compliance label code.

Vehicles that will DOT Register in a CARB state, the following EPA and CARB rules apply to your order.

All new vehicles that will register in a CARB state will require a CARB Clean Idle label. CARB also requires extended Emission Warranty on all MY2024 vehicles with a CARB Clean Idle label. To register in a CARB State, orders will need a CARB Emission Warranty, CARB Engine Idling Compliance label, CARB State of Registration, and a CARB operating Base Warr: Emissions surcharge code. Vehicles with a Cummins diesel engine, that register in a CARB State, will require both an EPA and CARB Engine Idling Compliance label.

Natural Gas engines are excluded from the CARB Engine Idling Compliance requirement and don’t require a Clean Idle Label.

CITY OF FOUNTAIN VALLEY

CITY COUNCIL

COUNCIL ACTION REQUEST
To: Honorable Mayor and Agenda Date: March 5, 2024
Members of the City Council
SUBJECT: 2024 Citywide Traffic Signal Timing Project

1. Accept a fee proposal from AGA Engineers, Inc. for the Citywide Traffic Signal Timing Project in the amount not-to-exceed $246,220 and authorize Staff to issue a Purchase Order for the amount; and,

2. Approve Amendment No. 1 to AGA Engineers, Inc.’s As-Needed On-Call Design Contract for $123,045.

Three-Year Strategic Goals
☒ Enhance the culture and environment of “A Nice Place to Live” ☐ Achieve fiscal stability by evaluating processes, and attract and retain revenue producing businesses/opportunities
☐ Attract and retain quality staff through best practices and trends ☒ Maintain, build, and modernize infrastructure to support growth and future needs of the City
☐ Not applicable
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Staff recommends that the City Council accept a fee proposal and issue a purchase order to AGA Engineers, Inc. for the Citywide Traffic Signal Timing Project in the amount not-to-exceed $246,220. Staff also recommends that the City Council approve Amendment No. 1 to AGA Engineers, Inc.’s As-Needed On-Call Design contract for $123,045. The project budget is funded by AQMD ($250,000) and Measure M funds ($25,000), for a total of $275,000.

This Project will evaluate and update signal timing plans for the fifty-five (55) City controlled traffic signals, the future City controlled traffic signal at Mt. Langley Street and Ellis Avenue, and six (6) Caltrans controlled traffic signals in the City of Fountain Valley, and will assess the local timing parameters utilized by the City. This Project is an integral part of the City’s continuing effort to ease congestion, reduce delay, improve traffic flow, establish base signal timing at each intersection, and provide State and Federal compliance.

AGA Engineers, Inc. – 2024 Citywide Traffic Signal Timing Project March 5, 2024

DISCUSSION:

The City has not been able to complete citywide retiming for signalized intersections for over six years due to the I-405 Improvement project. As such, traffic flow throughout the City is no longer optimal and citywide retiming needs to be addressed to meet current traffic patterns and demands.

The 2024 Citywide Timing Project will evaluate and update signal timing plans for fifty-five (55) City controlled traffic signals, the future City controlled traffic signal at Mt. Langley Street and Ellis Avenue and six (6) Caltrans controlled traffic signals in the City of Fountain Valley. The Project will assess the local timing parameters utilized by the City, and will provide an updated database of turning movement counts. The timing will be fine-tuned after implementation to ensure efficient traffic flow.

This Project is an integral part of the City’s continuing effort to ease congestion, reduce delay, improve traffic flow, establish base signal timing at each intersection, and provide State and Federal compliance. The project is anticipated to start Spring 2024.

AGA Engineers, Inc. is an approved consultant from the 2021 RFQ for On-Call Design Services. On December 20, 2023, the City received a proposal from AGA Engineers, Inc. (AGA), in the amount not-to-exceed $246,220, for the Citywide Traffic Signal Timing Project, Project No. 24018.

AGA has successfully completed numerous projects for the City of Fountain Valley, including Citywide Timing Projects in 2004 and 2013, installation and timing development of the Euclid/Condor and Euclid Kalama River Traffic Signals, and design and timing development of the recent Traffic Signal Modification Improvements for Eight (8) Intersections HSIP Project.

AGA has also successfully completed multiple OCTA led regional signal timing projects, which updated the local timing and coordination for signalized intersections within the Cities of Fountain Valley, Garden Grove, Huntington Beach, Seal Beach, and Westminster, along all major, primary and secondary arterials. Since AGA is considered one of the best traffic signal timing consultants in the industry, they have been consistently utilized for similar services by many Orange County agencies.

FISCAL REVIEW:

The original adopted FY 2023/2024 budget for the Citywide Traffic Signal Timing Project, Project No. 24018 includes sufficient funding for this project. The budget is funded by AQMD ($250,000) and Measure M funds ($25,000), for a total of $275,000.

FY 23/24 Remaining BUDGET for Project No. 24018 – Citywide Signal Retiming Approved Project Budget for Citywide Signal Retiming $275,000.00 FY 23/24 Total Project Costs $246,220.00

AGA Engineers, Inc. – 2024 Citywide Traffic Signal Timing Project March 5, 2024

ALTERNATIVES:

Alternative No. 1:

1. Accept a fee proposal from AGA Engineers, Inc. for the Citywide Traffic Signal Timing Project in the amount not-to-exceed $246,220 and authorize Staff to issue a Purchase Order for the amount; and,

2. Approve Amendment No. 1 to AGA Engineers, Inc.’s As-Needed On-Call Design Contract in the amount of $123,045.

Alternative No. 2:

1. Do not accept a fee proposal from AGA Engineers, Inc. for the Citywide Traffic Signal Timing Project in the amount not-to-exceed $246,220 and do not authorize Staff to issue a Purchase Order for the amount; and,

2. Do not approve Amendment No. 1 to AGA Engineers, Inc.’s As-Needed On-Call Design Contract in the amount of $123,045.

This is not the recommended alternative because AGA Engineers, Inc. is a reputable consultant with immense knowledge of the City’s traffic network and not completing this project may cause traffic flow to deteriorate in the future.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council:

1. Accept a fee proposal from AGA Engineers, Inc. for the Citywide Traffic Signal Timing Project in the amount not-to-exceed $246,220 and authorize Staff to issue a Purchase Order for the amount; and,

2. Approve Amendment No. 1 to AGA Engineers, Inc.’s As-Needed On-Call Design Contract in the amount of $123,045.

RE: Citywide Signal Timing Project
Dear Mr. Galvez:

Pursuant to our previous discussions, AGA Engineers, Inc. (AGA) is pleased to present to you the following proposal to re-evaluate and update the coordination signal timing plans for the 55 City controlled and 6 Caltrans controlled traffic signals (see attached map on Figure 1) in the City of Fountain Valley, and to assess and make recommendations relative to local timing parameters utilized by the City. Our scope of work, schedule and fee are presented below.

SCOPE OF WORK
• Meet with City staff to obtain any available current traffic count data; discuss scope, schedule, and budget issues; and discuss local timing parameter concerns. • Collect updated weekday AM, Midday, and PM peak hour and weekend peak hour turning movement counts (TMCs) at all non-RTSSP project intersections (22 intersections including four Caltrans intersections); collect other relevant data as required. We plan to leverage traffic count data collected recently as part of the various OCTA corridor projects in the City to minimize the amount of new data to be collected for this project. There is one RTSSP project intersection, Talbert Avenue at Ward Street, where we propose to conduct new turning movement counts. The intersection was under construction when counts were conducted for the Talbert Avenue RTSSP.

Therefore, turning movement count intersections for 23 intersections will be conducted for this project.
• Evaluate all non-RTSSP City controlled intersections (17) relative to local timing concerns, including yellow times, pedestrian walk times, all-red times, vehicle extension times and bicycle/min green times. All timing parameters and timing plans will be in compliance with current CA MUTCD requirements. Attached is a map on Figure 2 showing the 17 intersections where the local signal timing parameters will be assessed.

Mr. Temo Galvez
December 20, 2023

• Develop local signal timing plans and coordination signal timing plans and time-space diagrams for weekday AM, Midday, and PM peak periods; weekend peak periods; and off peak periods. Coordination signal timing plans developed will consider timing developed via various OCTA Regional Projects.
• Submit the plans to the City for review and comment.
• Modify the plans as required.
• Drive the corridors to obtain “before” conditions.
• Implement and fine tune the City-approved timing plans. Included will be any modifications required by the City to local signal timing parameters on an intersectionby-intersection basis. • Drive the corridors to obtain “after” conditions.
• Finalize the signal timing plans and time-space diagrams and submit them to the City in hard copy and electronic format.
• Ensure that current timing sheets are placed in each intersection’s controller cabinet.

Attached is a map on Figure 3 showing the locations of the 23 turning movement counts and the corridors where the “before” and “after” travel time studies will be conducted.

AGA will coordinate with the current RTSSP projects within the City to ensure that the “after” study has been completed for each project corridor prior to implementation of the Citywide signal timing plans. The “after” study for the majority of RTSSP corridor projects should be completed by spring 2024 or early fall 2024. AGA may need to adjust offsets, phase sequencing and/or new signal coordination plans for an RTSSP intersection and/or corridor. For the Euclid Street RTSSP, the new signal coordination timing plans may not be completed by this date. AGA will work with the Euclid Street RTSSP consultant to ensure that the signal timing plans will coincide with the Citywide signal timing plans.

SCHEDULE
It is proposed that this project be conducted from January 2024 to early fall 2024. Because traffic data must be collected at times when schools are in session, it is suggested that this project be scheduled to begin in late January or early February of 2024, i.e., when traffic has returned to normal after the winter school break. With the recent opening of the I-405 Express Lanes (all arterials in the City are open), the traffic patterns in the City should soon stabilize.

Pending the RTSSP corridor projects after studies within the City, AGA can implement and fine

Mr. Temo Galvez
December 20, 2023

tune the plans as early as spring 2024 or fall 2024. Any local signal timing changes would be implemented at the same time as the new coordination timing plans are implemented.

FEE
AGA’s fee to provide the above detailed scope of services is $246,220 (see attached for details), including both local signal timing and coordination signal timing evaluation, implementation, and fine tuning. Also included is the collection of TMC data and the travel time studies. Because of our familiarity with the City’s traffic signal system and with traffic conditions throughout the City, we can conduct this project at an average cost significantly below the current industry average fee for similar projects.

There are six Caltrans interchange traffic signals in the City. A Co-Op agreement with Caltrans will be required to implement and monitor the signal timings at the Caltrans traffic signals. The two Caltrans traffic signals on Euclid Street are already included in the Euclid Street RTSSP project and therefore do not require a Co-Op agreement. For the other four Caltrans traffic signals, AGA will assist the City in the development of a Co-Op agreement. Caltrans will require a fee to implement and monitor the signal timing for the four traffic signals. Caltrans fee is $2,500 per intersection which equates to a total of $10,000 (four intersections). This fee is outside of AGA’s fee and will be included in the Co-Op agreement with the City.

AGA looks forward to continuing to provide signal timing services to the City of Fountain Valley.

Should you have any questions regarding this proposal, please contact me.

Respectfully submitted,
AGA Engineers, Inc.

Greg Wong, P.E.

Vice President

Members of the City Council
SUBJECT: Accept a Fee Proposal from JIG Consultants for Engineering Design Services for the 2024 Sewer Rehabilitation and Replacement Project in a Not-to-Exceed Amount of $268,470 and authorize staff to issue a Purchase Order for the amount.

Three-Year Strategic Goals
☒ Enhance the culture and environment of “A Nice Place to Live” ☐ Achieve fiscal stability by evaluating processes, and attract and retain revenue producing businesses/opportunities
☐ Attract and retain quality staff through best practices and trends ☒ Maintain, build, and modernize infrastructure to support growth and future needs of the City
☐ Not applicable
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Staff recommends that the City Council accept a fee proposal from JIG Consultants for Engineering Design Services for the 2024 Sewer Rehabilitation and Replacement Project in a not-to-exceed amount of $268,470 and authorize staff to issue a Purchase Order for the amount. This project is funded by the City’s Sewer Funds. The City’s FY 2023/2024 Sewer Improvement Project is an integral part of the City’s effort to adhere to the needed sewer line improvements identified in the City’s Sewer Master Plan updated in 2013. These improvements will result in the rehabilitation of the City’s sewer mains and the reduction of potential sewage overflows.

DISCUSSION:

In March 2007, the City’s Sewer Master Plan was completed. This provided the City general direction with respect to the forecast of sewer capital needs to address structural and capacity deficiencies through the City. Through this project, valuable information including the state of the City’s existing sewer infrastructure and the City’s future needs were determined. In 2009, the City developed its “year one” list of sewer replacement projects, which City staff successfully completed in April 2010. In 2011, the construction of the FY 2011/2012 Sewer Replacement Project was completed.

Engineering Design Services for the 2024 Sewer Rehabilitation and Replacement Project February 20, 2024

In December 2013, the City completed a Sewer Master Plan update, which outlined the City’s needed sewer improvements through the year 2028, also known as “year two” sewer improvements. The City’s 2013 Sewer Master Plan recommended, upon thorough review of the City’s existing sewer studies and reports, the 2012 closed circuit television (CCTV) inspection, and regulations and documents of that time, a repair strategy for the City. This strategy included:
 City perform point repairs for long reaches of pipe with only 3 or less major defects (i.e. breaks, cracks, fractures, or displaced joints) and no other secondary defects (i.e. high observed water marks or infiltration)
 City perform full length replacement when pipes contained 4 or more major defects or included a number of other secondary defects that were likely to fail or cause an sanitary sewer overflow in the foreseeable future
 City perform repairs on a case-by-case basis for sewers with varying degrees of defects (i.e. cracks, fractures, offsets, and sags) over varying lengths that do not fit the general conditions described above
The City’s 2024 Sewer Rehabilitation and Replacement Project will address multiple sewer main locations within the City where either rehabilitation or replacement of the sewer pipe is needed.

City staff solicited proposals from the City Council-approved On-Call Design Services consultant list including GHD Inc., Onward Engineering, and JIG Consultants (JIG) for Engineering Design Services for the 2024 Sewer Rehabilitation and Replacement Project.

GHD Inc. elected not to propose on the Project, so proposals were only received from Onward Engineering and JIG Consultants. Additionally, staff requested proposals from each of the three City Council-approved On-Call Hydrogeologists, but the project’s scope did not match their expertise.

Onward Engineering submitted a competitive fee proposal, but have limited experience with sewer rehabilitation and replacement projects. The firm’s primary expertise is paving projects.

They have been selected for various projects in the City of Fountain Valley, such as the following Rehabilitation and Resurfacing Projects: Euclid Street, from Edinger to Warner Avenue; Heil Avenue and Ward Street; and Talbert Avenue and Euclid Street.

Based upon qualifications, experience, and success with similar sewer projects for other agencies, staff selected JIG Consultants to complete the design for the 2024 Sewer Rehabilitation and Replacement Project. JIG has provided engineering design services to:
 City of Garden Grove Sanitary District for their Sewer System Rehabilitation Plan Phase 1, Sewer Improvement Project at Westminster Avenue and Lexington Avenue Projects.  City of Laguna Beach for their Third and Forest Pipeline Project.  Long Beach Utilities Department for the South Long Beach Sewer Improvement Project and Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation and Replacement Program 1 Project JIG’s scope of services includes design services for sewer pipe improvements at 12 locations, with preliminary repair recommendations at the following locations:

(1) CCTV work for siphon will be limited to the upstream and downstream sections, where the sewer pipe is not fully submerged.
(2) Cleaning and jetting of existing sewers will not be performed for these Locations. (3) CIPP of existing siphons may not be feasible. Recommendations will be provided after CCTV is completed. (4) Engineering design for sewer replacements of existing siphons is included as Optional Task 13.

Upon completion of the CCTV, JIG will provide a recommendation for the City’s consideration. The recommendations will include the following:1) open trench removal and replacement of existing sewer, 2) jacking and boring of casing and inserting replacement sewer at siphons, 2) point repair for sags plus full segment CIPP lining, 3) full segment CIPP lining, and 3) UV segment lining.

SCOPE OF WORK
The Scope of Work will be as follows:

NON-OPTIONAL WORK

1. Project Administration, Communication and Meetings
Project Management - JIG will provide project management to ensure adherence to the project schedule and budget and to document all communication between JIG and the City.

Coordination - JIG will coordinate efforts of the project team and subconsultants with representatives of utilities, government agencies, and outside stakeholders to determine requirements to be included in the construction document.

Kick-off Meeting - Upon receipt of a written Notice to Proceed, conduct a virtual kick-off meeting with City staff to review the project scope, develop a project schedule, and confirm deliverables. The project schedule shall include each task and subtasks, milestones, critical path designation and a schedule for progress meetings.

Project Milestone / Meetings – This proposal includes attendance to three meetings (kickoff, progress, and final review meetings).

2. Closed Circuit Television Survey and Reporting
Sewer Cleaning – Clean the interior of the sewer pipe using a high pressure jetter and vactor cleaning truck. Cleaning will include up to three passes of the jetting equipment. Mechanical cleaning is not included in this proposal.

CCTV Survey - Conduct a CCTV survey using a crawler camera and CCTV inspection truck. CCTV will determine the condition of the subject sewer lines in or near the designated work areas listed in Table 1.

Sewer System Rehabilitation Plan Phase 1
Sewer Main Replacement Project No. 2 and 3
Garden Grove Sanitary District
In July 2018, Garden Grove Sanitary District completed the Sewer System Rehabilitation Plan Phase 1 (SSRP-P1) which is a multi-year effort of inspecting and evaluating the entire sewer system. The SSRP-P1 inspected 300,000 feet of existing sewers via closed circuit televisions (CCTV), reviewed and identified condition deficiencies, and recommended replacements, cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining, and spot repairs which developed into Capital Improvement Projects.

The SSRP-P1 study area is generally located south of
Chapman Avenue, west of Ninth Street, north of Trask
Avenue, and east of Beach Boulevard. The existing sewer pipes reviewed for condition deficiencies ranged from 6-inch to 18-inch in diameter and are all made of vitrified clay pipe (VCP).

This project entailed the construction of sewer main
replacements and spot repairs categorized under Project No. 2 and 3. The project included replacing structurally
compromised sewer reaches in 20 different locations in the City of Garden Grove.

JIG completed the following engineering services for the project:
 Performed topographic mapping of the
various sewer replacement areas
 Completed a geotechnical investigations
report for the various sewer replacement
areas
 Completed utility potholing to confirm
location of existing utilities
 Prepared a preliminary design technical
memorandum which summarized the
design approach and recommendations
 Prepared construction plans for the sewer replacement and spot repair locations including plan and profile of the sewer reaches and manhole rehabilitation details  Prepared technical specifications and engineer’s estimate of probable construction costs

Related Project Experience

Sewer Improvement Project
Westminster Avenue and Lexington Avenue
Garden Grove Sanitary District
JIG was contracted by Garden Grove Sanitary District for preparation of construction plans and specifications for two sewer replacement projects. Both projects required upsizing of capacity deficient sewer mains.

Project 92 was in a residential area while Project 93 was in a busy arterial street.

Both projects required extensive utility research and potholing to confirm the viability of the recommended sewer alignments.

Project 92 (Lexington Avenue): JIG prepared a preliminary design report which identified different construction methods to address the issue. One alternative was to pipe burst the existing 8-inch VCP sewer while inserting a new 12-inch HDPE sewer. This alternative was eliminated because of the potential damage to adjacent structures due to vibrations from the pipe bursting operations. The second alternative was to install cured-in-place pipe inside the existing 8-inch VCP. This alternative was also eliminated as it would not have increased the capacity of the existing sewer. The third alternative was to relocate the alignment on Bushard Street and tie-in to the existing 33-inch
trunk sewer at the Bolsa Avenue
intersection.

Upon completion of potholing operations,
it was discovered that existing utilities at
the Bolsa Avenue intersection conflicted
with the proposed sewer alignment
therefore, the third alternative was not
constructible. GGSD opted to eliminate
most of Project 92 except for a sewer
segment on Lexington Avenue.

Project 93 (Westminster Avenue):

Replaced 620 lineal feet of 12-inch VCP sewer with 15-inch VCP sewer. The proposed sewer replacement started at the intersection of Anita Place and Westminster Avenue, and continued west along the north side of Westminster Avenue, up to Euclid Street.

Traffic control plans were prepared for Project 93 on
Westminster Avenue, which is a heavily traveled arterial street. The traffic control plans were processed through the cities of Garden Grove and Santa Ana.

Third and Forest Pipeline Project
City of Laguna Beach
The City of Laguna Beach maintains and operates its own sewer collection system, most of which were constructed in the 1950s. Over the years, sewer improvements have upgraded the system without a master plan for construction. The resulting system is inefficient with gravity sewer flowing in different directions, but ultimately discharging into the existing Laguna SOCWA Lift Station.

In the area near City Hall, the existing sewer collection system included two inverted siphons and deteriorated piping with a high potential for leakage and discharge into the Pacific Ocean. The project was for the removal or abandonment of the existing sewers, including the 24-inch trunk sewer behind City Hall, and replacing it with an 18-inch trunk sewer in front of City Hall.

Project construction included the following:
 Abandonment of approximately 1,600 lineal feet of
24-inch trunk sewer on Loma Terrace including four
manholes
 Abandonment of approximately 1,350 lineal feet of
15-inch inverted siphon on Mermaid Street
including two manholes
 Removal of approximately 750 lineal feet of 8-inch
sewer on Third Street including four manholes
 Construction of approximately 1,280 lineal feet of
18-inch sewer in the Lumber Yard Parking Lot and
Third Street/Forest Avenue, from the existing
Laguna SOCWA Lift Station to Mermaid Street,
including ten new manholes
 Construction of 160 lineal feet of 18-inch sewer on
Third Street, southeast of Mermaid Street, including
two new manholes
 Construction of 200 lineal feet of 12-inch sewer on
Mermaid Street
 Construction of miscellaneous 6-inch sewers for reconnection to existing manholes near City Hall and Loma Place
 Reconnection of sewer laterals on Third Street, between Loma Place and Mermaid Street The project included geotechnical investigations, potholing for existing utilities, flow monitoring studies, and an in-depth analysis of the city’s sewer system. This project was partnered with the Laguna SOCWA Lift Station Rehabilitation and represented the first phase of construction.

Section 9.03 – Cafeteria Plan. The provisions of the Cafeteria Plan are described below.

Benefits Provided Through the Cafeteria Plan. Insurance benefits in this article will be delivered through the provision of a cafeteria plan adopted in accordance with the provisions of Internal Revenue Code §125: medical and dental.

Each month the City will contribute to the cafeteria plan, flex dollars for current employees and new hires as specified in Sections 9.01 and 9.02. In addition, the City will contribute a longevity stipend for Tier 1 employees as specified in Section 9.01. The City’s flex dollar contribution includes the CalPERS statutory minimum paid by the City.

Prior to January 1, 2011, dependent dental premiums were fully employee paid.

However, due to the provisions of the cafeteria plan, dependent dental premiums are to be deducted from the flex dollars. Upon retirement, retirees are not covered by a cafeteria plan, so dependent dental premiums will be fully retiree-paid if coverage is elected.

Nothing in these provisions requires City contributions towards dependent dental premiums.

The Purchase of Benefits through the Cafeteria Plan. The cafeteria plan offers sworn, non-management fire employees the opportunity to purchase medical insurance, dental, life, optional vision, and AFLAC insurance. Eligible employees may select from any of the medical insurance plans offered by CalPERS. If CalPERS changes any of the medical insurance plans by either adding or deleting the plan options, employees will be limited to those plan options offered by CalPERS.

Sworn, non-management fire employees may also elect any of the optional AFLAC, vision, flexible spending accounts, supplemental life/long-term care insurance options the City offers to employees at the employee’s sole cost.

Dental and life insurance are not optional benefits and such premiums will be deducted from each employee’s cafeteria plan flex dollars or waiver of premium contribution.

Employee Contributions for Benefit Options. If a sworn, non-management fire employee chooses optional benefits whose aggregate cost exceeds the total flex dollar City contribution to the cafeteria plan, the City will automatically deduct the excess amount on a pre-tax basis, if applicable, from the employee’s bi-weekly payroll.

The Receipt of Cash Through the Cafeteria Plan. Sworn, non-management fire employees will be eligible to receive cash (subject to taxation as wages) through the cafeteria plan if they either opt out of receiving medical insurance or if they choose benefits that do not cost as much as the flex dollars provided by the City towards the cafeteria plan. Any such employee shall be eligible to receive in cash up to a maximum of three hundred fifty dollars ($350) per month for employees who elect medical coverage or if medical coverage is declined, up to the CalPERS statutory minimum minus dental and life insurance premiums.

FVFA IAFF Local 4530 July 1, 2024 - June 30, 2027
25 | P a g e
Employees in this unit who are receiving cash through the cafeteria plan in excess of three hundred fifty dollars ($350) as of January 1, 2018 are grandfathered (per a side letter of agreement) to continue to receive cash in excess of three hundred fifty dollars ($350) per month until they are no longer represented by IAFF, or the receipt of cash falls below three hundred fifty dollars ($350).

Section 9.04 – Term Life Insurance. The amount of term life insurance for each sworn, non-management fire employee shall be fifty thousand dollars ($50,000).

Section 9.05 – Long-Term Disability. The City shall pay to the FVFA IAFF Local 4530 nineteen dollars and fifty cents ($19.50) per month, per employee for long-term disability insurance coverage. The City shall not be responsible for the maintenance of a long-term disability insurance policy for sworn, non-management fire employees. The City shall not be responsible if a sworn; non-management employee does not elect to participate in the FVFA IAFF Local 4530-sponsored long-term program, even though the City contributes nineteen dollars and fifty cents ($19.50) per month towards such program.

An employee who is receiving long-term disability benefits is considered to be in an off-payroll status and will not accrue benefits during the time that they are in such status.

In addition, employees who are in an off-payroll status while receiving long-term disability benefits are responsible for maintaining group health and life insurance coverage, and for paying the corresponding premiums.

Section 9.06 – Flexible Spending Program
The City shall provide a voluntary Flexible Spending Plan (Section 125 Plan under the Internal Revenue Code) to employees covered under this agreement. Enrollment in the plan allows employees to pay for out-of-pocket Health Care and Dependent Care costs with pre-tax dollars. The City will abide by Flexible Spending Account limits as set each year by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

At enrollment and annually thereafter, participants must designate the Flexible Spending Account election amount for the remainder of the year for new hires and for the next year for current employees. The annual amount is deducted from the employee’s paycheck in equal installments, on a pre-tax basis, and credited to the employee’s Flexible Spending Account. Reimbursement will be paid directly by a third party administrator.

Federal law prohibits any change in a Flexible Spending Account during the calendar year unless the employee or their dependent(s) have a qualifying “life event.” as defined by the California Department of Insurance. Examples of some qualifying “life events” are; marriage, divorce or legal separation, birth or adoption of a dependent, death of a dependent, or a change in the employee or employee’s spouse’s employment status.

The change in the Flexible Spending Account must be due to and consistent with the “life event” which permits the change.

An annual open enrollment period will be provided for the upcoming calendar year’s program. Employees must affirmatively enroll in the Flexible Spending Account for each year. There is no automatic renewal.

When estimating annual expenses, employees are cautioned to only consider those expenses they are reasonably certain they will incur. Any amount left in a Flexible Spending Account at the end of the year is forfeited.

Deductions for Flexible Spending Accounts shall not reduce earnable compensation for purposes of calculating benefits or contributions for the California Public Employees’ Retirement System.

The City maintains the right to select and change, if needed, the vendor to administer the Flexible Spending Account program.

Upper Body Strength. Upper body strength contributes to the employee’s ability to control patients and other physical demands made on him/her in their work environment, while avoiding the possibility of injury. This test will be administered through the use of pushups, crunches, and pull-ups.

A. Push-ups.

The participant shall maintain their body in a prone position, supported by straight arms with hands resting on the ground, and with toes resting on the ground. The administrator shall place their fist on the ground below the participant's chest. The participant must keep their back straight at all times, and from the up position, lower themselves to the floor until their chest touches the administrator's hand. Once the participant touches the administrator's hand with their chest, the participant shall then push themselves to the up position and attain and repeat the process for the required number of times. The participant may rest in the up position.

Participants shall be required to complete the number of push-ups specified below for their age group.

A pull-down exercise on the Universal Weight Machine with a weight equaling onehalf of the participant's body weight may be substituted by those having difficulty with pull-ups. The participant in the pull-down exercise shall be required to assume a seated or kneeling position and shall pull the bar of the Universal Weight Machine down to either the back of the base of the neck or down to the top of the chest. The total minimum number of correct pull-downs that must be completed according to age shall be the same as the schedule for the minimum number of pull-ups as cited above.

Flexibility. There is a high incidence of lower back disabilities among middle-aged people.

In many cases, this is related to reduced flexibility of the hip and back along with reduced elasticity of the hamstrings. It is possible that some cases can be improved by a welldesigned program of stretching exercises to increase flexibility.

In addition to a short warm-up prior to the test, it is recommended that the participant refrain from fast or jerky movements which may increase the possibility of an injury.

The participant shall sit on the ground with their legs out straight in front of them. Shoes should be removed and the heels of the feet are placed flat against a 4" x 4" board. The participant shall slowly reach forward with both hands as far as possible towards their toes with their hands, holding this position momentarily. The participant shall keep the hands parallel and not stretch or lead with one hand. The distance between the fingertips and the toes shall be recorded as plus or minus inches. Plus inches shall be below the toes and negative is above the toes. The Administrator shall ensure that the knees of the participant are kept straight and held in place throughout the test for the participant. The minimum standards for the flexibility test are as follows:
