CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FOWLER
REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
DATE: February 20, 2024
FROM: MICHAEL REID, Police Chief
SUBJECT: Actions pertaining to City Hall security:
1) AUTHORIZE the City Manager to negotiate and execute an agreement with Hoffman Electronic Systems for the purchase and installation of electronic building entry access control systems, duress alarms, and closed-circuit cameras for public access areas of City Hall, the Police Department, Council Chambers and the Community Development building in an amount not to exceed $40,000.
2) APPROVE Resolution No. 2707 amending the 2023-2024 Adopted Budget.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Approval of this item will allow for security upgrades to City of Fowler facilities, improving both staff and public safety.
BACKGROUND
Phase I Security Upgrades (Completed)
On August 16, 2022, the City Council authorized the City Manager to enter into an agreement with Hoffman Electronic Systems (Hoffman) to install access control systems at City Hall. Prior to recommending Hoffman, staff evaluated solutions from various security vendors. Based on best value and references, Hoffman Security was selected, consistent with the provisions of the City's Purchasing Policy.
Based on the success of the access control project, the City of Fowler contracted with Hoffman on October 10, 2022, to provide closed circuit video surveillance for portions of the Police Department. Since their implementation, both access control and camera surveillance systems have continued to operate effectively and efficiently.
In early February, critical security issues were identified at the Senior Center. Under the purchasing authority of the City Manager and based on their excellent performance on two prior security projects for the City of Fowler, Hoffman was consulted to develop an access control and site security plan for the Senior Center. As a result, security cameras, a duress alarm, and access control to include a buzz-in entry system were installed. This system immediately 20 Section 7, Item C.
improved security for seniors and staff. Staff ensured these items could be repurposed in the new facility.
Phase II Security Upgrades (Scopes of Work for Consideration) Hoffman has developed two additional scopes of work to address safety concerns.
1. Community Development Building ($9,895)
This scope will improve public access control with a buzz-in entry system, access control door locks, allow for duress alarms to be installed, and add security camera monitoring at the Community Development building.
2. City Hall ($19,795)
This scope will install duress alarms and a buzz-in video system at City Hall and the Police Department public windows. This will also add security cameras to the Council Chamber, the courtyard area, and at all public and employee entry points.
Phase III Security Upgrades (Scopes of Work Being Prepared)
3. Unified Camera Monitoring
Hoffman is preparing a scope of work for the necessary hardware and software so that all security cameras to be monitored at the Police Department. If the scope of work falls within this allocated budget, the City Manager will negotiate a contract for the scope.
4. Duress Notifications
The Police Department is collaborating with Hoffman, and Vincent Communications, the City’s radio communications vendor, to broadcast duress notifications via the Police Department’s radios. If the scope of work falls within this allocated budget, the City Manager will negotiate a contract for the scope.
PUBLIC NOTICE
This item does not require a public hearing and was noticed as a part of the City Council Agenda.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This action does not constitute a “project” pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act.
GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY
Goal PF-1
Fowler provides reliable public facilities, utilities, and community services that meet the needs of the existing community and planned growth.
Policy PF-15
Incorporate new technologies and analytical tools into policing strategies to ensure efficiency of labor force.
21 Section 7, Item C.
FISCAL IMPACT AND PROCUREMENT PROCESS
A Budget Amendment in the amount of $40,000 is recommended to allocate funds for these four scopes of work.
The total ongoing monthly service charges for the current and proposed security upgrades at the Senior Center, City Hall, and Community Development Building is $625 per month. This will be paid from the Information Technology Department operational budget and will be added to the Department’s budget requests for Fiscal Year 2024-2025.
These scopes of work for both Hoffman Security and Vincent Communications fall under the City’s Purchasing Policy Section 7, Exceptions to Purchasing Methods and within subsection F,. Sole Source Purchases, which states “…[s]ole source purchases may include certain product[s]…that have been proven to be the only product that has proven to be acceptable or compatible with existing city hardware/software.” Both Hoffman and Vincent have previously provided public safety related services to the City of Fowler. The proposals before the City Council today will integrate with existing technology utilized currently by both Hoffman and Vincent to provide seamless security upgrades for the City of Fowler.
CONFLICT OF INTEREST
Staff is not aware of any conflicts of interest.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING
REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
DATE: February 20, 2024
FROM: THOMAS W. GAFFERY IV, Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT: Actions pertaining to Donny Wright Park and Harris Street Park improvements:
1) REJECT all proposals from the “Engineering Design Services - Park Improvements at Donny Wright Park and Harris St Neighborhood Park” Request for Proposals.
2) APPROVE an Agreement with Provost & Pritchard Consulting Group in the amount of $72,200 for engineering and land surveying services for the Donny Wright and Harris Park improvements project and authorize the City Manager to execute said Agreement.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This awards a contract for the design of improvements at Donny Wright Park and the development of Harris Park.
BACKGROUND
The City was awarded $180,814 in Proposition 68 funds for design and construction of this project.
Staff prepared and solicited a Request for Proposals (RFP) for engineering design services for this project via the PlanetBids system. The RFP was released on October 16, 2023 and closed on November 8, 2023. Eight firms registered as prospective bidders. One response was received in the amount of $119,300. Staff recommend Council reject this proposal.
Staff then contacted the grant awarding agency to confirm if the grant terms allowed the City to utilize the City’s consulting engineers to perform this scope of work. After receiving that confirmation, Staff requested Provost & Pritchard Consulting Group provide a proposal. Provost & Pritchard submitted a proposal to perform the engineering design services in the amount of $72,200. Staff recommend Council approve this agreement with Provost & Pritchard to perform the engineering design services in the amount of $72,200.
PUBLIC NOTICE
This item does not require a public hearing and was noticed as a part of the City Council Agenda.
27 Section 7, Item D.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), an agency must complete environmental review prior to committing itself to a definite course of action in regard to a proposed project (CEQA Guidelines Section 15352). Environmental review must occur as early as feasible in the planning process to enable environmental considerations to influence project program and design, yet late enough to provide meaningful information for environmental assessment (CEQA Guidelines Section 15004(b)).
At this time, the City Council is not taking any action that would constitute approval of a Project.
The City Council retains full discretion either to approve or disapprove the project. The appropriation of funds for further study is therefore exempt from environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines, Section 15262 (feasibility and planning studies for possible future actions that have not been approved, adopted, or funded), as well as the general rule that CEQA only applies to “projects” that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment.
Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA (CEQA Guidelines, Section 15061(b)(3)).
GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY
Goal CDES-1
Through community design, Fowler fosters and reinforces the City’s unique sense of place.
Goal CH-1
Opportunities for physical activity, such as walking and biking, are integrated into the built environment.
Goal CH-4
Public facilities are equitably distributed throughout the community.
Policy OS-2
The City shall develop and maintain an open space network that provides both passive and active recreation opportunities.
Policy OS-19
Promote the City’s urban forest as a contributor to the local environment and community aesthetics.
Policy OS-21
Maximize tree canopy coverage on public lands and open spaces through the planting of new trees and the management and care for existing trees.
Goal PF-1
Fowler provides reliable public facilities, utilities, and community services that meet the needs of the existing community and planned growth.
Goal PF-2
28 Section 7, Item D.
Fowler maintains and manages the orderly and efficient expansion of public facilities, utilities, and community services.
FISCAL IMPACT AND PROCUREMENT PROCESS
This project is funded by a Proposition 68 grant award.
Section 7J of the purchasing policy states the City Council has the authority to reject all bids and negotiate with an award a contract to any vendor of the City’s choosing. As Provost & Pritchard Consulting Group is the City’s consulting planners and engineers, there are economies of scale and synergies involved in the vendor performing this scope of work.
CONFLICT OF INTEREST
Staff is not aware of any conflicts of interest.

a. Termination by City or Consultant: For Convenience. Either party may, at their discretion, terminate this Agreement for convenience and without cause upon ninety (90) days prior written notice to the other party. Upon receipt of a termination notice pursuant to this subsection, Consultant shall promptly discontinue all Services affected, unless the notice directs otherwise. b. Termination by City or Consultant: For Cause. Either party may terminate this Agreement upon ten (10) days prior written notice to the other party of a material breach, and a failure within that time period to cure or commence reasonable steps to cure the breach. c. Compensation to Consultant Upon Termination. Consultant shall be paid compensation for Services satisfactorily performed prior to service of the written notice of termination. As to any phase partially performed but for which the applicable portion of Consultant's compensation has not become due, Consultant 32 Section 7, Item D.
4 shall be paid the reasonable value of its Services provided. However, in no event shall such payment when added to any other payment due under the applicable part of the work exceed the total compensation of such part as specified Section 4. In the event of termination due to Consultant’s failure to perform in accordance with the terms of this Agreement through no fault of City, City may withhold an amount that would otherwise be payable as an offset to City's damages caused by such failure. d. Effect of Termination. Upon termination of this Agreement, Consultant shall: (i) promptly discontinue all Services affected, unless the notice of termination directs otherwise; and (ii) deliver or otherwise make available to the City, without additional compensation, all Work Product and/or deliverables accumulated by the Consultant in performing this Agreement, whether completed or in process. Consultant may not refuse to provide such Work Product for any reason whatsoever. e. Non-Appropriation; Lack of Available Funds. The parties acknowledge that the Services to be performed under this Agreement are expected to extend beyond the City’s budgeted fiscal year. If, during the term of this Agreement, or any renewal term, as applicable, the City budget does not appropriate sufficient funds for this Agreement, then City may elect to terminate this Agreement, at its sole discretion, by giving thirty (30) days' prior written notice of termination to Consultant. Upon termination of the Agreement under this section, the City shall have no further liability to pay any funds to the Consultant or to furnish any other consideration under this Agreement, and the Consultant shall not be obligated to perform any provisions of this Agreement or to provide services intended to be funded pursuant to this Agreement. If partial funds are appropriated or provided, the City shall have the option to either terminate this Agreement with no liability to the City or offer an amendment to the Consultant to reflect the reduced amount. The City represents and warrants that (i) as of the Effective Date, it has appropriated the funds for this Agreement for the current fiscal year and (ii) it shall not use the foregoing right to terminate for non-appropriation as a means to terminate for convenience. Consultant’s assumption of risk of possible non-appropriation is part of the consideration for this Agreement. City budget decisions are subject to the discretion of the City Council.
18. Insurance. Consultant shall satisfy the insurance requirements set forth in Exhibit B.
19. Indemnity and Defense. Consultant hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the City, its officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers harmless from and against all claims, demands, causes of action, actions, damages, losses, expenses, and other liabilities, (including without limitation reasonable attorney fees and costs of litigation) of every nature arising out of or in connection with the alleged or actual acts, errors, omissions or negligence of Consultant or its subcontractors relating to the performance of Services and the safeguarding of any financial data and information obtained from City necessary to perform the Services described herein to the fullest extent permitted by law, unless the injuries or damages are the result of City's sole negligence or willful misconduct, subject to any limitations imposed by law. Consultant and City agree that said indemnity and defense obligations shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement for any items specified herein that arose or occurred during the term of this Agreement.
20. Taxes. Consultant agrees to pay all taxes, licenses, and fees levied or assessed by any governmental agency on Consultant incident to the performance of Services under this Agreement, and unemployment and workers’ compensation insurance, social security, or any other taxes upon the wages of Consultant, its employees, agents, and representatives. Consultant agrees to obtain and renew an annual business license from City and pay the applicable business license fee to City during the term of this Agreement.

In addition, Consultant shall not assign the payment of any monies due 33 Section 7, Item D.
5 Consultant from City under the terms of this Agreement to any other individual, corporation or entity. City retains the right to pay any and all monies due Consultant directly to Consultant.

Failure of either party to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of the right to compel enforcement of the remaining provisions of this Agreement. 34 Section 7, Item D.

The mediator shall be mutually selected by the parties, but in case of disagreement, the mediator shall be selected by lot from among two nominations provided by each party.

ASSUMPTIONS
• If the scope of services requires Consultant to estimate quantities, areas and/or volumes for construction, such estimates are made on the basis of Consultant's experience and qualifications and represent Consultant's best judgment as a professional generally familiar with the industry and will be performed pursuant to generally accepted standards of professional practice in effect at the time of performance. However, such estimates are only estimates and shall not constitute representations, warranties or guarantees of the quantities of the subject of the estimate. If the scope of services requires Consultant to provide its opinion of probable construction costs, such opinion is to be made on the basis of Consultant's experience and qualifications and represents Consultant's best judgment as to the probable construction costs. However, since Consultant has no control over costs or the price of labor, equipment or materials, or over the contractor's method of pricing, such opinions of probable construction costs do not constitute representations, warranties or guarantees of the accuracy of such opinions, as compared to bid or actual costs. • Staging plans, traffic control plans, and construction phasing plans are not part of this scope of work.
If requested as additional services, City staff will recommend available staging areas and we will illustrate these areas on our plans. It will be the responsibility of the City’s awarded Contractor to define their plans for use of these staging areas.

SUBJECT: APPROVE Resolution No. 2710 to Initiate proceedings to annex Tract No. 6381 into the City’s Landscape and Storm Drainage Facilities Maintenance District No. 1; and order the preparation of an Engineer’s Report regarding said annexation.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Staff recommends that the City Council approve Resolution No. 2710 to initiate proceedings to annex Tract No. 6381 into the City’s Landscape and Storm Drainage Facilities Maintenance District No. 1. Upon acceptance of the public and landscaping improvements by the City, the Public Works Department will assume the maintenance of the landscape and storm drainage facilities. The annexation allows the City to recover the maintenance costs associated with these facilities.
BACKGROUND
The City provides for the operations and maintenance of landscaping and storm drainage facilities within various improved developments throughout the City of Fowler. The City’s Landscape and Storm Drainage Facilities Maintenance District No. 1 (“LSDFMD No. 1”), was formed pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (“Act”), which provides for assessing parcels within these developed areas to fund these maintenance and operations activities.
The Act allows for newly developed properties to be annexed into an existing landscape and maintenance district. (Streets and Highways Code § 22605, subd. (a).) In accordance with the conditions for approval for Tract No. 6381 (hereinafter collectively referred to as, the “Tract”) this subdivision must be annexed into the City’s LSDFMD No. 1. All the parcels within the Tract are owned by a single entity, Woodside 06N, a Limited Partnership. The Tract owner filed a petition and written consent with staff requesting the City to initiate proceedings to annex the Tract into LSDFMD No. 1 (“Petition”).
To initiate the annexation proceedings, City Council must adopt a resolution describing the improvements and services within LSDFMD No. 1, describe the territory to be annexed, describe the proposed assessment on the proposed annexation, and to order the City Engineer to draft and file with the City Clerk an Engineer’s Report in accordance with Streets and Highways Code section 22567.
58 Section , Item 9C
Per the Tract owner’s Petition, the owner expressly waived all notices and procedures otherwise required under the Act pursuant to Streets and Highways Code section 22608, to the extent allowed by law. Accordingly, the City Engineer will prepare and file the Engineer’s Report for the Tract to be annexed into LSDFMD No. 1 for consideration and approval by Council. The City will then provide the Tract owner with written notice of the public hearing along with an assessment ballot for the owner to fill out and return to the City in accordance with the provisions of Government Code section 53753. The notice and assessment ballot must be mailed to the Tract owner at least forty-five (45) days prior to the public hearing.
PUBLIC NOTICE
This item does not require a public hearing and was noticed as a part of the City Council Agenda.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This action does not constitute a “project” pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act.
GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY
This action is consistent with:
General Plan Goal OS-4
Open space acquisition, development, programming, and maintenance is adequately and reliably funded.
FISCAL IMPACT
If the annexation of the territory is approved, each parcel within the annexed Tract would be assessed annually. The assessment revenue will assist the District in paying the annual maintenance costs associated with these improvements.

Staff is not aware of any conflicts of interest.
