In the example above, assume that the parking lot is not accessible to fire apparatus due to turning radii and fire lane widths less than the required minimums.

A. All portions of building “A” are within 150’ feet of the public road as measured along the path of firefighter travel. This building is in access.

B. Building “B” is also in access despite the obstruction presented by the planter and hedges.

C. Building “C” is out of access; the presence of a chain-link fence forces firefighters to backtrack once they pass through the gate, increasing their travel distance beyond 150’. On-site fire access roadways or a change in the location of the gate and would be necessary to provide access to Building “C”.

ATTACHMENT 27
Hose Pull vs. Hose Lay
A: Hose Pull (Distance from Engine to Building): Represents the amount of fire hose that firefighters must pull from the engine to reach the structure. Hose pull may not exceed 150’. In the diagram below, firefighters would be able to reach the entire perimeter of the building by pulling no more than 150’ of hose from one or more fire engines staged in the shaded portion of the fire lane. For hydrant evaluation purposes, this part of the fire lane is considered to serve the building and must meet hose lay requirements. See Attachment 27 for further information on hose pull measurement and access to structures.

B: Hose Lay (Distance from Engine to a Hydrant): Represents the amount of supply hose that must be laid out of the back of the engine to bring water from the hydrant to the engine. No point along the portion of the fire lane serving the structure (the shaded road) may be farther from a hydrant than the distance specified under “Maximum Distance” in CFC Table C105.1 (see Attachment 24). The hydrant may be located along portions of the fire lane that exceed the hose pull distance provided that it is 1) on the same property, 2) on an adjacent property where an emergency access easement has been obtained, or 3) on a public road leading to the fire lane serving the property. Hose lay is measured along the vehicle path of travel in the fire lane, not “as the crow flies.” C: Hydrant Spacing (Distance between Hydrants)—the distance between hydrants serving the building shall not exceed twice the “Maximum Distance” listed in CFC Table C105.1, as measured along the fire lane. Hydrants located on portions of the fire lane that do not serve the building do not need to be evaluated for spacing relative to each other, only with respect to hydrants that do serve the structure. For example, when evaluating hydrant placement for the building shown in the diagram below, C1 may exceed the hydrant spacing requirements, while C2 and C3 cannot. The “Average Spacing” from Table C105.1 shall be maintained to prevent multiple hydrants from being concentrated in only one portion of the fire lane.

3 SUITE OF APPS
Permits Pro
CityTech Solutions, Inc. (CTS) will provide our CityTech Permits Pro Software, titled “Permits”, to the City of
Fountain Valley. The provided software solution is a
cloud-based hosted database that allows the City to
collect, store and report all permit activity, 24-hours a day and 7-days a week.

Code Enforcement Case Management
CTS will also provide our Code Enforcement Case Management module for the City, also simply called “Code”. Code is one of the most user-friendly case management software apps on the market. As you’d expect, our Code solution can communicate with Permits to enhance staff’s capabilities in providing a comprehensive software solution between the Code Enforcement Department and the Building Department.

Fire Annual Inspections
Our Fire app for Annual Inspections keeps any city’s Fire Department organized, so that they can help commercial
businesses stay in annual compliance with the Fire Code. Our CTS Fire app allows for annual inspection tracking and billing of commercial businesses in the city.

Stormwater
The CityTech Stormwater app supports any
municipality’s ability to track stormwater
management and other regulatory compliance
functions. This easy touse business and inspection tracking app allows for monitoring of stormwater related elements as it relates to new construction, post construction, fixed assets (ie catch basins) and illicit discharges. Along with configurable inspection forms, this app makes field inspections very easy.

Public Works
Our CTS suite of Public Works apps includes our:

Encroachment Permit app
Transportation Permit app
Capital Improvement Project app
This suite of apps provides the tracking that any Public Works Department needs to permit large trucks through town, for Contractors to work within the municipalities right-of-way, and any capital projects to be installed and inspected properly.

4 NETWORK ENVIRONMENT
Our cloud and browser-based system is built on, the Claris FileMaker Pro database platform, for which Claris Inc. is a subsidiary of Apple Inc. Any specifications provided below indicate minimum browser requirements. CTS will work with the City to ensure that any software used to run the CTS apps from a browser or mobile device, meets the installation specifications of the software.

Browsers Specifications: The software can be run on most modern browsers. Here the browser specifications that we support.

Desktop browsers Mobile browsers
Safari 13.x minimum
Chrome 80 minimum
Microsoft Edge 44
New Microsoft Edge 80
Mobile Safari on iOS 13 minimum
Chrome 80 minimum on Android 7.x minimum
iOS Specifications: FileMaker Go (FMGo) is a free iOS app that can be downloaded from the iTunes App Store. The latest version of the FMGo app is compatible with iOS devices running 13.2 minimum, when running on the following devices: iPad (9th generation), iPad (7th generation), and iPad (6th generation).

Network Specifications: The software is designed to run over high-speed wide area networks at speeds of I0 Mbps or greater. Slower connections can be supported through using terminal services software such as Microsoft Terminal Server, Citrix or Amazon WorkSpace. These technologies allow a workstation to run the application remotely using very little bandwidth.

Printer Specifications: The software is designed to work with laser printers and laser printers with iOS Air Print capabilities. Each make and model of printer has different drivers and therefore has slightly different results when printing.

Data Center Hosting
CTS hosts all software services on the cloud with the world-renowned Amazon Web Services (AWS), in one of their highly secure datacenters. Servers used by CTS are the most up-to-date Windows servers protected by Amazon’s world-class firewalls. Cost covers all Windows server license, bandwidth, and data storage. Hosting fees include all upgrades and upkeep of these servers.

Security Features
Security of our CTS apps is our highest priority. Therefore, we use utilize the industry’s highest rated cloud service, AWS. In utilizing AWS, we benefit from a data center and network architecture built to meet the requirements of the most security-sensitive

5 organizations. By taking advantage of AWS, we not only inherit all the best practices of AWS policies, architecture, and operational processes, but also benefit from their continual auditing by various accredited testing bodies. Additionally, here are some more security features that our system includes:
• Single-Tenant Solution. All our apps are single-tenant and not multi-tenant solutions, so our client’s permit data is not co-mingled with other cities data. • Symantec Cloud Endpoint. All detection and protection of inbound threats is provided by Symantec to safeguard all our client’s data. • SSL Certificates. Web site protection against malware and other automated attacks triggered by automation.
• Encryption at REST. Even if our client’s data falls into the wrong hands, it will always be unusable without an encryption key to decode it.

Exporting Information
We acknowledge that any data generated by the City or CTS staff during operations is the property of the City of Fountain Valley. If the contract should be terminated, the data will be made available to the City in a format acceptable to both parties.

System Uptime
Amazon Web Services guarantees a 99% uptime, and we guarantee that as well. Unless there are unforeseen circumstances, we only perform regular Windows Server maintenance on our servers over weekend periods, so that our routine maintenance causes minimal disruption to the service.

Data Backup
Our data backup routine is comprehensive as we believe we can never be too cautious with data integrity or data loss. Thus, our servers automatically create the following copies of database:

1. Incremental rolling backups of each individual database every 10-minutes

2. Hourly backups of all databases

3. Nightly backups of all databases

4. Monthly archives of all databases
The incremental backups are extremely important and provide a vital safety net. If any catastrophic event were to occur, or if any data were to accidentally be changed or saved, that data can be retrieved and reinstalled in a matter of minutes. Or if a record that was just created was accidentally deleted, we can get that back and reinstalled in a timely manner. If any of these scenarios happens, we must be contacted within 5- minutes of that event so that we can pull the incremental backup and restore it for you.

Emergency MWD Connection Water Line and Roadway Repair
November 18, 2025

DISCUSSION
At approximately 11:30 p.m. on December 4, 2024, City standby staff was called out to investigate a water main break outside of city limits. Police dispatch relayed information about water flooding Magnolia Street between Hazard Ave and Westminster Blvd. Staff recognized the location as a street containing critical City infrastructure and responded immediately. Upon arrival, city staff confirmed our MWD imported water connection as the source of the break.

Pursuant to Section 2.36.030 (b) of the Fountain Valley Municipal Code and per the City Council Policy – City Manager to Order Emergency Work Without Bidding, the Public Works Director notified the City Manager and City Council of the emergency via email on December 5 th. Following notification, the City Manager authorized the immediate expenditure of funds, by virtue of a Purchase Order not-to-exceed $50,000 (P.O. 250206) to evaluate and perform the necessary repairs, effectively declaring the MWD water main break an emergency. It should be noted that the staff also published a newsflash on the City website to notify the community.

T.E. Roberts worked expeditiously over the following week, and the pipe and temporary trench repair were completed by December 10, 2024.

Following the pipe and trench repair, City of Westminster and Fountain Valley engineering staff have worked diligently to determine the final terms of roadway repair, concrete sidewalk, and curb and gutter removal and replacement limits to complete the emergency repair work and return the facilities to pre-emergency condition. This work included a geotechnical analysis to determine the extent of the underground damage.

On May 5, 2025, the City Council authorized the City Manager to issue and execute a contract(s)/Purchase Order(s) to complete the emergency MWD connection water main break repair work in a total amount not-to-exceed $600,000. Additionally, staff are committed to reporting final costs to the Council following completion of the work for the MWD water main break.

Following Council approval, Staff executed a contract, Contract 1580, with T.E. Roberts, Inc. in the amount of $600,000. $85,441.10 was expended in FY 2024/25. The remaining roadway work was completed in July and August 2025, and a pending final invoice in the amount of $114,261.24.

CITY OF FOUNTAIN VALLEY

CITY COUNCIL

COUNCIL ACTION REQUEST
To: Honorable Mayor and Agenda Date: November 18, 2025
Members of the City Council
SUBJECT: Approve Amendment No. 12 to Cooperative Agreement No. C-5-3613 for an additional $2,039,000 between the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) and the City of Fountain Valley to reimburse the City for OCTA’s fair share of additional pavement impacts from the I-405 Improvement Project and OCTA’s fair share cost of the Mt. Baldy Waterline Replacement Project.

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
City staff recommends the City Council approve Amendment No. 12 to the Cooperative Agreement for an additional $2,039,000 between the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) and the City of Fountain Valley to reimburse the City for OCTA’s fair share of additional pavement impacts due to project detour routes and for the Mt. Baldy Waterline Replacement Project.

In April 2016, the City entered into a cooperative agreement with the OCTA for the I-405 Improvement Project. The cooperative agreement allows the project to move forward, where it memorializes the responsibilities of both the City and OCTA throughout the life of the project and provides the financial mechanism for the City to receive reimbursement funds for staff time, consultant assistance, project-related services, and pavement restoration upon project completion.

Since the approval of the cooperative agreement, there have been 11 approved amendments.

City staff recently concluded lengthy negotiations with OCTA for Amendment No. 12 for an additional $2,039,000 in reimbursement funds to the City. These additional funds are intended to cover OCTA’s share of road pavement impacts and for the Mt. Baldy Waterline Replacement Project. The City agrees to accept maintenance and operation of City facilities and accept the

Amendment No. 12 to OCTA Coop Agreement No. C-5-3613
November 18, 2025

Freeway Maintenance Agreement (FMA) once OCTA has completed all project punch list items by December 31, 2025.

This will increase OCTA’s maximum obligation of the cooperative agreement to a total value of $7,478,658.

DISCUSSION
The OCTA, in cooperation with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and corridor cities, has completed the I-405 Improvement Project between SR-73 and I-605 (Project). The Project added one general-purpose lane from Euclid Street to I-605 and added one lane in each direction that combines with the existing high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane, to provide dual express lanes in each direction of I-405 from SR-73 to I-605, otherwise known as the 405 Express Lanes. The Project demolished and reconstructed the bridges that span the freeway. Several interchanges throughout the City were modified and signalized, including the Brookhurst and Magnolia interchanges.

On April 5, 2016, the City Council approved Cooperative Agreement C-5-3613 between OCTA and the City of Fountain Valley to provide funding for city services during the design-build implementation of the Project. The cooperative agreement provided $975,700 in reimbursement funds for city services, including plan review and approval of plans, specifications, and reports; oversight of construction inspection services, detour inspection services; review and acceptance of the transportation management plan (TMP); traffic engineering and police services during the design and construction of the Project. The agreement also provided for reimbursement for pavement mitigation on the corridor city streets used for signed, long-term detour routes during construction. Specific dollar amounts were not included at the time because the TMP was not yet approved, and the pavement mitigation costs had not yet been quantified. OCTA reported that amendments to the cooperative agreement would be brought back to their Board for approval when costs for pavement mitigation based on the approved TMP were developed. On November 16, 2017, OCTA’s Board approved the TMP.

On December 18, 2018, the City Council approved Amendment No. 1, which provided a onetime payment of $657,008 for pavement mitigation costs for city streets used for short-term and long-term detour routes during construction. In addition, City Council approved Amendment No. 2, which relocated four (4) city waterlines that were located alongside existing bridges and under the I-405 freeway into the new bridge structures that cross over the widened freeway. The City's contribution for the relocation of these four (4) waterlines is $750,000.

Originally, these pipelines were identified as protected-in-place; however, during discussions between OCTA and City management staff, regarding overall project construction staging and impacts, an opportunity to advance and expedite the construction of the Slater bridge while providing for much-needed relocation of city waterlines into the bridges was developed.

The City’s total cost contribution to relocating the four (4) waterlines into the new bridge structures at Magnolia, Brookhurst, Ward, and Bushard Structures, as well as to properly abandon the existing waterlines under the freeway was $750,000. The estimated value for this work, including design, construction management, contingency, and all construction costs was

Amendment No. 12 to OCTA Coop Agreement No. C-5-3613
November 18, 2025

estimated to be in excess of more than if the City were to execute this work separately from this project.

Amendment No. 3 provided an additional $1,988,200 for additional reimbursement for ongoing review and approval of engineering plans, specifications, traffic management, and oversight inspection services for the remainder of construction for the I-405 Improvement Project.

On August 18, 2020, the City Council approved Amendment No.4, which secured an additional $282,000 for the replacement of a new 8-inch water line along the freeway between Mt Baldy Circle and Euclid Street (Water Line Replacement). The Water Line Replacement consisted of proper removal and disposal of the existing 6-inch waterline and installation of proper bedding, backfill, and new 8-inch cement mortar-line and coated steel pipe within the existing City waterline easement. This project was completed in 2025 by the City.

On October 20, 2020, the City Council approved Amendment No. 5. In the spirit of collaboration, OCTA provided $374,000 to the City of Fountain Valley to install Emergency Vehicle Preemption (EVP) devices at twenty-eight (28) intersections in order for efficient emergency services (Ambulance and Fire) responses, especially to the Memorial Care Hospital during Brookhurst and Talbert bridge construction traffic impacts and detours. OCTA also agreed to install 39 bridge lights on all seven bridges in Fountain Valley, re-evaluate pavement conditions and pay a fair share to restore pavement conditions on all detour routes.

On August 23, 2022, the City Council approved Amendment No. 6 for an additional $165,950 between OCTA and the City to provide OCTA’s fair-share contribution for participation costs towards traffic improvements at the Magnolia/Slater intersection. The I-405 Freeway Improvement Project had plans to provide traffic signal modification improvements at the intersection of Magnolia Street and Slater Avenue; however, the City received federal grant funding to perform traffic signal modifications at this same location. The City’s traffic signal modifications at this location entailed a more extensive scope of work than what the I-405 Improvement Project intended. It included additional signal heads and fully protected left-turn movements. Eliminating this scope of work from the I-405 project and having the City perform the traffic signal modifications eliminates the need to impact this intersection twice and it also eliminates the potential for “throw-away” work and costs and benefits the public overall.

Therefore, OCTA agreed to reimburse the City a lump sum fair share contribution amount of $165,950 for the traffic signal modification improvements at Magnolia/Slater.

On December 22, 2022, the City Manager administratively approved Amendment No. 7 to extend the cooperative agreement C-5-3613 through June 30, 2024, without increasing the cooperative agreement capacity. On December 19, 2023, the City Council approved Amendment No. 8, which added an additional $140,000 to the cooperative agreement C-5-3613 for ongoing review and approval of engineering plans, specifications, traffic management, and oversight inspection services for the I-405 Improvement Project. On June 17, 2024, cooperative agreement C-5-3613 was executed following City Manager’s administrative approval of the Amendment No. 9 to extend the cooperative agreement C-5-3613 through December 31, 2024, without increasing the cooperative agreement capacity.

On December 17, 2024 and subsequently, on April 19, 2025, the City Council approved Amendment No. 10 and Amendment No. 11 to add an additional $50,000 and $60,000,

Amendment No. 12 to OCTA Coop Agreement No. C-5-3613
November 18, 2025

respectively, to the cooperative agreement for I-405 consultant project management, inspection, and project close-out support. This includes the review and processing of final record drawings; ensuring all infrastructure improvement elements are completed and inspected for compliance; providing expert support with the development of the maintenance agreements between the City, OCTA, and Caltrans; and ensuring all project areas are left in a clean and sightly manner. While improvements to City-owned and operated streets and traffic facilities are substantially complete, I-405 Improvement Project punch list items need to be fully addressed by OCTA by December 31, 2025, before the Project is deemed complete.

City staff recently concluded lengthy negotiations with OCTA for Amendment No. 12 for an additional $2,039,000 in reimbursement funds to the City. These additional funds are intended to cover OCTA’s share of pavement impacts to city roads as part of the I-405 Improvement Project’s detour routes and also cover OCTA’s fair share cost for the Mt. Baldy Waterline Replacement Project. The city agrees to accept maintenance and operation of city facilities and accept the Freeway Maintenance Agreement once OCTA has completed all project punch list items by December 31, 2025.

This will increase OCTA’s maximum obligation under the cooperative agreement to a total value of $7,478,658.

City staff recommends that the City Council approve Amendment No. 12 to Cooperative Agreement No. C-5-3613 for an additional $2,039,000 between the OCTA and the City of Fountain Valley to reimburse the City for OCTA’s fair share of additional pavement impacts from the I-405 Improvement Project detour routes as identified in OCTA’s post-construction final pavement studies and other related Project impacts to pavement, safety and appurtenant elements beyond the scope of the design-build scope of work, and fair share cost of the work for the Mount Baldy Waterline Replacement Project.

FISCAL REVIEW
The Cooperative Agreement C-5-3613, with the twelve Amendments, brings the total agreement amount to $7,478,658. The additional $2,039,000 that Amendment No. 12 adds to the cooperative agreement is comprised of two parts: 1) OCTA will reimburse the City, in a lump sum amount of $1,735,000 for additional funds to cover OCTA’s share of pavement impacts from the I-405 Improvement Project’s detour routes as identified in OCTA’s postconstruction final pavement studies. 2) In addition, OCTA will reimburse the City, in a lump sum amount of $304,000, for additional funds to cover OCTA’s fair share cost of the Mt. Baldy Waterline Replacement Project.
