Members of the City Council
SUBJECT: City of Fountain Valley Six-Month Strategic Objectives Update for May 2026 through October 2026
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
On March 24, 2026, the City Council held a strategic planning session with the executive management team and department managers. Those in attendance collaborated to establish the City’s three-year goals and the six-month strategic objectives that serve as a guiding framework for aligning the City Council priorities, staff initiatives, and community input. Building on the strategic planning session held in March, the City has modified its three-year goals and created its six-month objectives based on emerging priorities, and feedback gathered through community engagement efforts. The attached plan will be updated monthly to demonstrate the progress of the adopted strategic objectives by the City Council.

DISCUSSION
On March 24, 2026, the City Council held a strategic planning workshop to review the three-year goals and develop the six-month strategic planning objectives for May 2026 through October 2026. Facilitated by consultant Ryder Smith of Tripepi Smith & Associates, the session allowed the Council to review progress on the prior three-year plan, identify key takeaways, and refine its approach to setting and implementing future priorities. The process was shaped by community input gathered through various methods; including a community workshop held on February 25, an online community feedback form, and one-on-one meetings with City Council and the executive management team. Through this process, the group outlined community needs, concerns, and priorities to establish a new set of goals and objectives.

CITY OF FOUNTAIN VALLEY

CITY COUNCIL

COUNCIL ACTION REQUEST
To: Honorable Mayor and Agenda Date: June 2, 2026
Members of the City Council
SUBJECT: Approval of a professional services contract with AP Triton, LLC for a Fire Department Community Risk Assessment, Standards of Cover, and Strategic Plan in a not-to-exceed amount of $94,721, and an appropriation of $90,000 in the Fire Department Fire Suppression – Contract Services account for FY26/27.

Three-Year Strategic Goals
☐ Cultivate a welcoming culture and safe environment that makes our community “A Nice Place to Live.”
☒ Ensure long-term 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, plan for, and modernize infrastructure to support the growth and future needs of the City.
☐ Not applicable.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A Request for Proposal (RFP) for a Fountain Valley Fire Department Community Risk Assessment (CRA), Standards of Cover (SOC), and Strategic Plan was published on March 12, 2026, through the City of Fountain Valley's electronic procurement system (RFP 26.004).

Following the RFP evaluation, Staff recommends awarding a professional services contract to AP Triton, LLC to conduct a comprehensive, data-driven assessment of community risk, deployment performance, and long-term service delivery strategy for the Fountain Valley Fire Department (FVFD). The six-month study will deliver a Community Risk Assessment, Standards of Cover analysis, organizational and operational assessment, and an integrated Strategic Plan.

DISCUSSION
The Fountain Valley Fire Department provides all-risk emergency services to the City's approximately 56,000 residents across nine (9) square miles, operating from two (2) fire stations and responding to 8,000–8,500 service calls annually. The majority of calls are related to Emergency Medical Services (EMS), and call volume continues to trend upward. The Department currently holds an ISO Class 1 rating and is committed to data-driven decisionmaking, community-centered service delivery, and long-term fiscal responsibility.

FIRE DEPARTMENT CRA/SOC/STRATEGIC PLAN
June 2, 2026

The Department is operating under sustained high call volumes, concentrated within a twostation deployment model, leading to elevated unit-hour utilization, higher call concurrency, and increasing pressure on system reliability. Simultaneously, the City is experiencing significant incoming high-density residential and mixed-use development that will materially alter population density, call distribution, traffic patterns, and the City's overall risk profile.

The City is also evaluating a pending fire station relocation project. Originally conceived as the relocation and modernization of an existing station, this capital project has been paused to allow a data-driven determination of whether the community would be better served by a simple relocation and reconstruction of an existing station or by reconfiguring the deployment model, which could include adding a third fire station to maintain performance standards and system reliability. This decision carries significant operational, fiscal, and long-term infrastructure implications.

Accordingly, Staff identified a comprehensive CRA/SOC and Strategic Plan as a priority project to provide the City Council with objective, defensible analysis and strategic clarity needed to make informed decisions about station infrastructure investment, staffing levels, and long-term service delivery configuration.

Scope of Work
The selected consultant will evaluate the following components over a six-month engagement:
 Community Risk Assessment (CRA): Including demographic and population trend analysis, land use and development patterns, hazard identification and risk categorization, critical infrastructure and target hazard analysis, socioeconomic and vulnerability analysis, historical incident analysis, EMS demand trends and projections, and community stakeholder input.
 Standards of Cover (SOC): Including call volume and workload analysis, unit-hour utilization and reliability modeling, response time performance evaluation, geographic coverage analysis with GIS mapping, effective response force analysis, staffing configuration review, apparatus deployment model evaluation, station location and distribution assessment, automatic/mutual aid analysis, and compliance review against NFPA benchmarks and ISO methodology.
 Organizational and Operational Assessment: Including organizational structure review, span of control and leadership alignment, training and certification capacity, EMS delivery model evaluation, special operations capability, and community risk reduction (CRR) programming review.
 Strategic Plan Development: Including facilitation of executive- and command-level workshops, development or confirmation of mission, vision, and values, identification of strategic priorities for a five-to-ten-year horizon, measurable goals and performance metrics, a capital improvement and deployment roadmap, staffing and workforce sustainability planning, and high-level financial impact modeling.

June 2, 2026

 Deliverables: Draft and final bound CRA/SOC report (print and digital), an executive summary suitable for public release, an integrated Strategic Plan document, GIS maps and visual analytics, and a City Council presentation. All recommendations will be prioritized by short-, mid-, and long-term, with cost-range estimates where feasible.

Project Timeline
AP Triton will complete the engagement within the City's desired six-month timeframe. The project will follow a structured, phased approach that includes project initiation, community risk assessment, standards of cover analysis, deployment modeling and scenario analysis, draft report development and City review, strategic plan development, and final deliverables and City Council presentation. Key milestones include data collection, an on-site visit and stakeholder interviews, a virtual progress meeting, a client technical review, and a final report and presentation.

PROCUREMENT
In accordance with the City’s Purchasing Policies, the City of Fountain Valley issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for Fountain Valley Fire Department Community Risk Assessment, Standards of Coverage, and Strategic Plan (RFP 26.004) on April 20, 2026. The RFP was publicly advertised on PlanetBids and via the City’s website. Thirty-five (35) companies showed interest in the RFP and downloaded the RFP. The RFP closed on April 20, 2026, and five (5) companies submitted proposals. First, each proposal was evaluated on a 10-point system with a weighted score of 800 in three areas: Scope of Work/Work Plans, Qualifications and Experience, and Past Performance/References. The two lowest scores on the initial evaluation were excluded from Cost opening due to not meeting some of the City’s needs. Costs were opened and added to the table with a weighted score of 200. After reviewing the set of scores, the evaluation team chose AP Triton, LLC for its impressive proposal and strong references from California fire departments. AP Triton, LLC illustrated the ability to fully meet the needs of the City and proposed an adequate timeline for the proposed costs.

FISCAL REVIEW
The professional services contract with AP Triton, LLC has a one-time cost not to exceed $94,721, which is not currently included in the adopted budget for FY 2026/27. The contract requires a 5% payment to initiate the contract, which will be paid from the Fire Department’s FY25/26 budget. Staff is requesting an additional appropriation of $90,000 in the Fire

FIRE DEPARTMENT CRA/SOC/STRATEGIC PLAN
June 2, 2026

Department Fire Suppression – Contract Services account (100.60.60600.53007) for FY26/27.

Staff time will be allocated to assisting the consultant with data collection and personnel interviews during normal duty hours throughout the six-month project period.

An investment in a comprehensive CRA/SOC and Strategic Plan is expected to deliver longterm value by establishing a defensible analytical foundation for future capital infrastructure decisions, including the pending fire station relocation.

III. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The City is requesting a comprehensive Community Risk Assessment (CRA), Standards of Cover (SOC), and integrated Strategic Plan to guide critical service delivery decisions over the next decade. The Fountain Valley Fire Department currently operates from two fire stations serving approximately 9 square miles. The Department is experiencing sustained high call volumes concentrated within a two-station deployment model, resulting in increased unit hour utilization, overlapping incidents, and system reliability pressures.

Emergency medical services represent the majority of call demand, with continued upward trends.

Simultaneously, the City is experiencing significant incoming high-density residential and mixed-use development, including vertical and infill projects that will materially alter population density, call distribution, traffic patterns, and overall risk profile.

In addition, the City is evaluating a pending fire station relocation project. Originally conceptualized as a relocation and modernization of an existing station, this capital project is currently being paused to allow for a data-driven determination of whether the community would be better served by:
• A simple relocation and reconstruction of an existing station; or • A reconfiguration of the deployment model that includes the potential addition of a third fire station to maintain performance standards and system reliability.

This decision carries significant operational, fiscal, and long-term infrastructure implications. Accordingly, the City requires a defensible, data-driven analysis that evaluates:
• Current and projected service demand
• System reliability under current staffing and deployment • Effective Response Force capability
• Station location modeling and geographic coverall
• Impacts of high-density development on travel times and workload • Future-state deployment scenarios (2-station vs. 3-station models) • Associated staffing and capital impacts
The consultant shall provide clear modeling of alternative deployment scenarios, including projected response performance, workload distribution, cost implications, and operational sustainability.

The final product must provide the City Council with objective analysis and strategic clarity necessary to make informed decisions regarding station infrastructure investment, staffing levels, and long-term service delivery configuration.

It is obvious that they know their stuff. We are very pleased with the results. —Jeremiah Jones, Deputy Fire Chief, North View Fire District, Utah • Exceptional product and process! Very pleased with the experience with AP Triton. The Project Manager and Project Team were extremely knowledgeable, professional, and exceptional to work with. I would like to bring them back for more projects in the future. —Mandy Pomeroy, County Administrator, Blaine County, Idaho • Working with AP Triton to develop our Fire Department Master Plan, Community Risk Reduction (CRR), and Standards of Coverage (SOC) has been an exceptional experience. Their team's expertise, professionalism, and collaborative approach ensured a comprehensive analysis tailored to Sierra Madre's unique needs. We want to specifically recognize Project Manager Clay Steward for his outstanding contributions in data engineering and analytics. His ability to transform complex data into actionable insights was instrumental in shaping a strategic, data-driven plan for our fire department.

Rev 10/25
Section 2782.8, Consultant agrees to indemnify and hold harmless (but not defend) the City, its officers, directors and employees from and against damages and costs that City is legally obligated to pay, to the extent caused by the negligent act, error or omission of the Consultant or anyone for whom the Consultant is legally responsible, subject to any limitations of liability contained in this Agreement. Consultant shall have liability for reasonable and necessary defense costs incurred by persons indemnified to the extent caused by Consultant’s negligence herein and recoverable under applicable law on account of negligence.

For all Consultant performances under this Agreement that are not for design services as defined under California Civil Code Section 2782.8 the following shall apply:

Consultant agrees to defend, indemnify, protect and hold harmless City, its officers, officials, employees, agents, attorneys, and volunteers from and against any and all claims, demands, losses, attorney fees, defense costs or expenses, or liability of any kind or nature which City, its officers, officials, employees, agents, attorneys and volunteers may sustain or incur or which may be imposed upon them for injury to or death of persons, or damage to property arising out of Consultant's negligent or wrongful acts or omissions in performing or failing to perform under the terms of this Agreement, excepting only liability arising out of the negligence or wrongful conduct of City, its officers, officials, consultants, employees, agents, attorneys and volunteers.

In the event CONSULTANT fails to obtain such indemnity obligations from others as required here, CONSULTANT agrees to be fully responsible according to the terms of this section.

This obligation to indemnify and defend CITY as set forth here is binding on the successors, assigns, or heirs of CONSULTANT and shall survive the termination of this AGREEMENT or this section.

Nothing in this indemnity shall be construed as authorizing any award of attorney’s fees in any action on or to enforce the terms of this Indemnity or AGREEMENT. This indemnity shall apply to all claims and liability regardless of whether any insurance policies are applicable.

Rev 10/25
(d) Indemnity Provisions for Contracts Related to Construction. This paragraph applies only when this AGREEMENT is related to construction.

I. SUMMARY
The City of Fountain Valley (“City”) is soliciting proposals from qualified and experienced consulting firms to conduct a comprehensive Community Risk Assessment (CRA), Standards of Cover (SOC), and corresponding Strategic Plan for the Fountain Valley Fire Department (FVFD).

The selected consultant will evaluate community risk, current and future service demand, deployment models, response performance, staffing configurations, facilities, apparatus, and operational effectiveness. The project will culminate in actionable, datadriven recommendations and a multi-year strategic plan aligned with industry best practices, fiscal sustainability, and community expectations.

The City seeks a partner with demonstrated expertise in fire service analytics, NFPA performance benchmarks, ISO methodologies, deployment modeling, and executivelevel facilitation.

II. ABOUT THE CITY
Background Information
The City of Fountain Valley is a master-planned community located in Orange County, California. Incorporated in 1957, the City encompasses approximately 9 square miles and serves a population of approximately 55,000 residents. Fountain Valley is characterized by stable residential neighborhoods, commercial corridors, healthcare facilities, educational institutions, regional transportation routes, and critical infrastructure.

The City operates under a Council-Manager form of government and maintains a strong commitment to public safety, fiscal responsibility, and high-quality municipal services.

Fountain Valley Fire Department
The Fountain Valley Fire Department provides all-risk emergency services including fire suppression, advanced life support (ALS) emergency medical services, rescue operations, hazardous materials response, and disaster preparedness.

The Department operates from two fire stations and responds to approximately 8000-8500 service calls annually, with the majority being EMS-related incidents. FVFD maintains an ISO Class 1 rating and is committed to maintaining high operational performance standards consistent with nationally recognized best practices.

The Department is focused on:
• Data-driven decision-making
• Community-centered service delivery
• Regional collaboration
• Workforce sustainability and wellness
• Long-term fiscal responsibility

4 | Page
This study will provide the analytical foundation necessary to align future deployment, staffing, and capital planning with community risk and service expectations.

III. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The City is requesting a comprehensive Community Risk Assessment (CRA), Standards of Cover (SOC), and integrated Strategic Plan to guide critical service delivery decisions over the next decade. The Fountain Valley Fire Department currently operates from two fire stations serving approximately 9 square miles. The Department is experiencing sustained high call volumes concentrated within a two-station deployment model, resulting in increased unit hour utilization, overlapping incidents, and system reliability pressures.

Emergency medical services represent the majority of call demand, with continued upward trends.

Simultaneously, the City is experiencing significant incoming high-density residential and mixed-use development, including vertical and infill projects that will materially alter population density, call distribution, traffic patterns, and overall risk profile.

In addition, the City is evaluating a pending fire station relocation project. Originally conceptualized as a relocation and modernization of an existing station, this capital project is currently being paused to allow for a data-driven determination of whether the community would be better served by:
• A simple relocation and reconstruction of an existing station; or • A reconfiguration of the deployment model that includes the potential addition of a third fire station to maintain performance standards and system reliability.

This decision carries significant operational, fiscal, and long-term infrastructure implications. Accordingly, the City requires a defensible, data-driven analysis that evaluates:
• Current and projected service demand
• System reliability under current staffing and deployment • Effective Response Force capability
• Station location modeling and geographic coverall
• Impacts of high-density development on travel times and workload • Future-state deployment scenarios (2-station vs. 3-station models) • Associated staffing and capital impacts
The consultant shall provide clear modeling of alternative deployment scenarios, including projected response performance, workload distribution, cost implications, and operational sustainability.

The final product must provide the City Council with objective analysis and strategic clarity necessary to make informed decisions regarding station infrastructure investment, staffing levels, and long-term service delivery configuration.

This policy must be structured to provide additional coverage over the CONSULTANT’s existing commercial general liability, automobile liability, and employer’s liability policies. The requirements for the policy are as follows:
• Follow-form coverage. The policy adheres strictly to the terms and conditions of the underlying policies, ensuring seamless integration of coverage.

Professional liability (errors & omissions) insurance. CONSULTANT shall maintain professional liability insurance that covers the services to be performed in connection with this AGREEMENT, in the minimum amount of $1,000,000 per claim and in the aggregate. Any policy inception date, continuity date, or retroactive date must be before the effective date of this AGREEMENT and CONSULTANT agrees to maintain continuous coverage through a period of no less than three years after completion of the services required by this AGREEMENT.

Other provisions or requirements
Proof of insurance. CONSULTANT shall provide certificates of insurance and required endorsements to CITY as evidence of the insurance coverage required herein. Insurance certificates and endorsements must be approved by CITY prior to commencement of performance. Current certification of insurance shall be kept on file with CITY for the contract period and any additional length of time required thereafter. CITY reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies, at any time.

Duration of coverage. CONSULTANT shall procure and maintain for the contract period and any additional length of time required thereafter, insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damages to property, or financial loss, which may arise from or in connection with the performance of the work hereunder by CONSULTANT, their agents, representatives, employees, or subconsultants/ subcontractors. If this AGREEMENT involves construction, CONSULTANT must maintain general liability and umbrella or excess liability insurance for as long as there is a statutory exposure to completed operations claims. CITY and its officers, officials, employees, and agents shall continue as additional insureds under such policies.

Primary/noncontributing. Coverage provided by CONSULTANT shall be primary and any insurance or self-insurance procured or maintained by CITY shall not be required to

Rev 10/25
contribute with it. The limits of insurance required herein may be satisfied by a combination of primary and umbrella or excess insurance. Any umbrella or excess insurance shall contain or be endorsed to contain a provision that such coverage shall also apply on a primary and non-contributory basis for the benefit of CITY before the CITY’s own insurance or self-insurance shall be called upon to protect it as a named insured.

CITY’s rights of enforcement. In the event any policy of insurance required under this AGREEMENT does not comply with these specifications or is canceled and not replaced, CITY has the right but not the duty to obtain the insurance it deems necessary and any premium paid by CITY will be promptly reimbursed by CONSULTANT or CITY will withhold amounts sufficient to pay premium from CONSULTANT’s payments. In the alternative, CITY may cancel this AGREEMENT.

Acceptable insurers. All insurance policies shall be issued by an insurance company currently authorized by the Insurance Commissioner to transact business of insurance in the State of California, with an assigned policyholders’ Rating of A- (or higher) and Financial Size Category Class VII (or larger) in accordance with the latest edition of Best’s Key Rating Guide, unless otherwise approved by CITY.

Waiver of subrogation. With the exception of Professional Liability, all insurance coverage maintained or procured pursuant to this AGREEMENT shall be endorsed to waive subrogation against CITY, its elected or appointed officers, agents, officials, employees, and volunteers or shall specifically allow CONSULTANT or others providing insurance evidence in compliance with these specifications to waive their right of recovery prior to a loss. CONSULTANT hereby waives its own right of recovery against CITY and shall require similar written express waivers and insurance clauses from each of its subconsultants/subcontractors.

Enforcement of contract provisions (non estoppel). CONSULTANT acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of CITY to inform CONSULTANT of noncompliance with any requirement imposes no additional obligations on the CITY nor does it waive any rights hereunder.

Requirements not limiting. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this Section are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits on other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any insurance. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not intended by any party or insured to be all inclusive, or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a waiver of any type. If the CONSULTANT maintains higher limits than the minimums shown above, the CITY requires and shall be entitled to coverage for the higher limits maintained by the CONSULTANT. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the CITY.

Notice of cancellation. CONSULTANT agrees to oblige its insurance agent or broker and insurers to provide to CITY with a thirty (30) day notice of cancellation (except for nonpayment for which a ten (10) day notice is required) or nonrenewal of coverage for

Rev 10/25
each required coverage. If any of the CONSULTANT’s insurers are unwilling to provide such notice, then Consultant shall have the responsibility of notifying the CITY immediately in the event of CONSULTANT’s failure to renew any of the required insurance coverages, or insurer’s cancellation or non-renewal.

Additional insured status. General liability, automobile liability, and umbrella/excess liability insurance policies shall provide or be endorsed to provide that CITY and its officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers shall be additional insureds under such policies.

Prohibition of undisclosed coverage limitations. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been first submitted to CITY and approved of in writing.

Separation of insureds. A severability of interests provision must apply for all additional insureds ensuring that Consultant’s insurance shall apply separately to each insured against whom claim is made or suit is brought, except with respect to the insurer’s limits of liability. The policy(ies) shall not contain any cross-liability exclusions.

Pass through clause. CONSULTANT agrees to ensure that its subconsultants, subcontractors, and any other party who is brought onto or involved in the project/service by CONSULTANT (hereinafter collectively “subcontractor”), provide the same minimum insurance coverage and endorsements required of CONSULTANT. CONSULTANT agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section. However, in the event CONSULTANT’s subcontractor cannot comply with this requirement, which proof must be submitted to the CITY, CONSULTANT shall be required to ensure that its subcontractor provide and maintain insurance coverage and endorsements sufficient to the specific risk of exposure involved with subcontractor’s scope of work and services, with limits less than required of the CONSULTANT, but in all other terms consistent with the CONSULTANT’s requirements under this agreement. This provision does not relieve the CONSULTANT of its contractual obligations under the agreement and/or limit its liability to the amount of insurance coverage provided by its subcontractors. This provision is intended solely to provide CONSULTANT with the ability to utilize a subcontractor who may be otherwise qualified to perform the work or services but may not carry the same insurance limits as required of the CONSULTANT under this agreement given the limited scope of work or services provided by the subcontractor.

CONSULTANT agrees that upon request, all agreements with subcontractors, and others engaged in the project, will be submitted to CITY for review.

City’s right to revise specifications. CITY reserves the right at any time during the term of the AGREEMENT to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving CONSULTANT ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to CONSULTANT, CITY and CONSULTANT may renegotiate CONSULTANT’s compensation.

Self-insured retentions. Any self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved

Rev 10/25
by CITY. CITY reserves the right to require that self-insured retentions be eliminated, lowered, or replaced by a deductible, or require proof of ability to pay losses and related investigations, claim administration, and defense expenses within the retention through confirmation from the underwriter. Self-insurance will not be considered to comply with these specifications unless approved by CITY.

Timely notice of claims. CONSULTANT shall give CITY prompt and timely notice of claims made or suits instituted that arise out of or result from CONSULTANT’s performance under this AGREEMENT, and that involve or may involve coverage under any of the required liability policies.

Additional insurance. CONSULTANT shall also procure and maintain, at its own cost and expense, any additional kinds of insurance, which in its own judgment may be necessary for its proper protection and prosecution of the work.
