INTER-DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM

To:

Lisa L. Kim From: Matt West
Dept:

City Manager Dept: City Manager
Date: 8/11/2026

Subject: Approval to submit a response the Grand Jury Report, Wildfires Hit Home. (Action Item)

OBJECTIVE

The purpose of this report is for the City Council to approve the attached response to the 2025-26 Grand Jury Report, Wildfires Hit Home and authorize submittal to the Orange County Grand Jury.

BACKGROUND

On May 19, 2026 the Orange County Grand Jury released its 2025 -26 Grand Jury Report, Wildfires Hit Home. The purpose of the report was to (1) identify the shared responsibilities of local governments and fire service agencies, communities and homeowners to reduce the risk of wildfire in the wildland-urban interface, (2) investigate the status of actions taken by the California legislature and Department of Insurance to provide relief to policyholders, and (3) inform communities and homeowners on home hardening, defensible space, insurance risk reduction, and wildfire safety awareness. The investigation reviewed the efforts of Orange County local governments, local fire departments, and homeowners associations to better understand and provide an independent look at the above concerns and possible solutions.

DISCUSSION

California is facing an escalating wildfire crisis driven by climate change, prolonged drought, stronger winds, and continued development in fire -prone wildland -urban interface areas.

Over the past decade, 15 of the 20 most destructive wildfires in state history have occurred, causing extensive loss of life, destruction of homes and communities, and billions of dollars in insurance claims. These disasters have contributed to a growing insurance crisis, with many private insurers reducing coverage or leaving high -risk areas, leading to soaring premiums and increased reliance on the California FAIR Plan. In response, California has implemented several measures, including the Safer from Wildfires regulation, AB 888 Safe Homes Grant Program, and the California Wildland-Urban Interface Code, which promote home hardening, defensible space, wildfire mitigation, and insurance discounts for risk -reduction efforts.

Studies show these measures significantly reduce wildfire damage and provide substantial 15 Item 300/2026

economic benefits. The 2025–2026 Orange County Grand Jury found that greater community engagement, homeowner participation, and use of available grants and certifications can reduce wildfire risk, improve insurability, lower insurance costs, and strengthen community resilience against increasingly severe wildfires.

The Grand Jury report outlined six findings, all of which applied to Garden Grove.

Findings

F1. More frequent and severe wildfires driven by increasingly hotter, drier, and windier conditions in the Orange County wildland-urban interface are escalating impacts on financial and non-financial resources. Among the financial costs are dramatic increases in homeowners’ insurance premiums, nonrenewals, and inabilities to obtain insurance.

Response: The City agrees with this finding.

F2. Actions that address conditions in the home ignition zone to significantly reduce ignition potential can prevent a community wildland -urban interface fire disaster or suburban conflagration.

Response: The City agrees with this finding.

F3. Expanded engagement with the community to raise awareness and provide support regarding home hardening and defensible space will increase effectiveness of wildfire risk mitigation and insurance risk reduction efforts.

Response: The City agrees with this finding.

F4. Achievement of community-level and property-level wildfire risk mitigation designations (such as Firewise USA Site, Fire Risk Reduction Community or Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety certification) l essens wildfire risk and helps reduce insurance premium costs.

Response: The City agrees with this finding.

F5. All county residents should be made aware that Safer from Wildfire regulation requires insurers to provide discounts to homeowners and communities that implement home hardening and defensible space measures regardless of whether a property is located within a Fire Hazard
Severity Zone.

Response: The City agrees with this finding.

F6. AB888, California Safe Homes Grant Program, provides financial assistance to eligible homeowners, cities, counties, and special districts for home hardening and defensible space measures. Applying for and using these grant funds will reduce wildfire losses and improve insurability and resilience of vulnerable communities.

16 Item 300/2026

Page 3 of 3 ends

Response: The City agrees with this finding.

The Grand Jury report also outlined four recommendations, two of which applied to Garden Grove.

Recommendations

R2. By December 31, 2026, cities and fire service agencies, including Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA) should commit to participation in a county-wide annual wildfire prevention fair planned by the Orange County Board of Supervisors to showcase wildfire prevention outreach programs. [F1, F2, F3, F4, F5, F6]

Response: The recommendation has not yet been implemented, but will be implemented in the future. OCFA commits to participating in a county-wide annual wildfire prevention fair.

R4. By December 31, 2026, to ensure city residents are engaged and aware of wildfire risk reduction resources, OCFA member and non-member cities should provide information, develop their own outreach program, and establish a direct contact person(s) for their residents. This is in addition to whatever referrals or references made to OCFA outreach programs. [F1, F2, F3, F4, F5, F6]

Response: The recommendation has been implemented.

FINANCIAL IMPACT

There is no financial impact.

INTER-DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM

To:

Lisa L. Kim From: Matt West
Dept:

City Manager Dept: City Manager
Date: 8/11/2026

Subject: Approval to submit a response to the Grand Jury Report, PFAS and Public Awareness: A Closer Look at Orange County Drinking Water. (Action Item)

OBJECTIVE

The purpose of this report is for the City Council to approve the attached response to the 2025-26 Grand Jury Report, PFAS and Public Awareness: A Closer Look at Orange County Drinking Water, and authorize submittal to the Orange County Grand Jury.

BACKGROUND

On June 9, 2026, the Orange County Grand Jury released its 2025 -26 Grand Jury Report, PFAS and Public Awareness: A Closer Look at Orange County Drinking Water . Recent regulatory actions related to PFAS have created significant operational, financial, and communication challenges for drinking water agencies across California. Orange County agencies face an intensifying timeline due to the region’s reliance on groundwater supplies, the presence of PFAS in local aquifers, and the need to comply with evolving state and federal standards. As regulatory and monitoring requirements expand, agencies must rapidly adapt their treatment strategies, capital planning, and public outreach efforts . The 2025 –2026 Orange County Grand Jury report examines the presence of per - and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), or "forever chemicals," in Orange County drinking water and evaluates how local water agencies are responding to growing regulatory requirements.

DISCUSSION

PFAS are highly persistent synthetic chemicals used in numerous industrial and consumer products that have contaminated water, soil, air, and food worldwide and have been linked to potential health risks, including cancer, developmental effects, liver damage , immune system impacts, and elevated cholesterol. Because Orange County relies heavily on groundwater—particularly in the north and central regions, where up to 85% of drinking water comes from the Orange County Groundwater Basin —PFAS contamination has pr ompted agencies to shut down affected wells, construct advanced treatment facilities, increase monitoring, and comply with evolving federal and state standards established by the EPA and California regulators. The Grand Jury's investigation, based on interviews, document reviews, 21 Item 301/2026

Page 2 of 3 ends

field visits, and analysis of water quality reports, assesses PFAS monitoring, treatment planning, public communication, and regulatory compliance while identifying opportunities to improve annual Consumer Confidence Reports and pu blic outreach to ensure safe drinking water and maintain public trust.

The Grand Jury report outlined eight findings, four of which applied to Garden Grove.

Findings

F2. PFAS is widespread, and contamination has been detected in Orange County groundwater sources. Community water systems are required to report PFAS monitoring results in their annual Consumer Confidence Reports.

Response: The City agrees with this finding. PFAS monitoring results are already included in the City’s Consumer Confidence Report (CCR): www.ggcity.org/ccr

F4. OCWD has taken a proactive leadership role in addressing PFAS in the Orange County Groundwater Basin, though PFAS treatment implementation varies across local cities and water districts.

F6. Orange County drinking water meets or exceeds state and federal standards and is safe for consumption without additional home filtration.

Response: The City agrees with this finding. The City cannot provide water to customers unless it meets all applicable state and federal drinking water standards. Both OCWD and the City routinely monitor and test the water supply to ensure compliance with these regulatory requirements.

INTER-DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM

To:

Lisa L. Kim From: Matt West
Dept:

City Manager Dept: City Manager
Date: 8/11/2026

Subject: Approval to submit a response to the Grand Jury Report, California Housing Mandates The Unintended Reshaping of Orange County Neighborhoods. (Action Item)

OBJECTIVE

The purpose of this report is for the City Council to approve the attached response to the 2025-26 Grand Jury Report, California Housing Mandates, The Unintended Reshaping of Orange County Neighborhoods and authorize submittal to the Orange County Grand Jury.

BACKGROUND

On May 27, 2026 the Orange County Grand Jury released its 2025 -26 Grand Jury Report, California Housing Mandates, The Unintended Reshaping of Orange County Neighborhoods .

The purpose of the report was to evaluate both the intended and unintended consequences of Housing Mandates as they are applied within Orange County in order to identify where state requirements conflict with local capacity and community needs, and assess how recent legislative changes have shifted the balance between state authority and local governance.

The report also seeks to establish a strategic framework for influencing future housing allocations within Southern California Association of Governments ( SCAG) by strengthening the role and effectiveness of Orange County Council of Governments (OCCOG) in preparation for the next planning phase.

DISCUSSION

California’s State Housing Mandates, including Housing Element requirements and the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) process , have significantly expanded state oversight of local housing planning in an effort to address housing shortages and affordability challenges. While intended to increase housing production, these mandates are characterized as imposing substantial administ rative, financial, and legal burdens on local governments, particularly in Orange County, where established development patterns, infrastructure limitations, environmental constraints, and high land costs present unique challenges.

Housing allocation targe ts are criticized as being derived from complex and insufficiently transparent methodologies that often fail to adequately account for local conditions, economic 27 Item 299/2026

Page 2 of 5 ends

feasibility, or available funding sources. The elimination of redevelopment agencies further reduced local capacity to finance affordable housing, leaving jurisdictions responsible for meeting ambitious housing obligations without corresponding financial support. At the same time, state housing laws have reduced local discretion over land -use decisions, increased residential densities, and limited opportunities for public input, contributing to concerns regarding neighborhood character, infrastructure capacity, and local governance. As Orange County prepares for the next RHNA cycle, the analysis emp hasizes the need for greater transparency, stronger regional advocacy, enhanced public engagement, and housing policies that better align state objectives with local realities, infrastructure investments, and community priorities.

The Grand Jury report outlined 22 findings, 11 of which applied to Garden Grove.

Findings
F1. In recent years, the California Legislature has enacted an unusually large and burdensome volume of housing -related laws intended to strengthen complian ce with State Housing Mandates.

Response: The City of Garden Grove agrees with the above finding.

F2. Housing Mandates are implemented through a RHNA process that often lacks transparency and relies on complex methodologies that are difficult for local officials and the public to understand or meaningfully challenge.

Response: The City of Garden Grove agrees with the above finding.

F4. Meaningful participation by Orange County cities in both OCCOG and SCAG meetings is critical to ensuring that local perspectives are represented during the development and implementation of Housing Mandates policies.

Response: The City of Garden Grove agrees with the above finding.

F5. SCAG’s 6th Cycle RHNA assigned Orange County a questionable total of 183,861 housing units for the 2021-2029 planning period, with higher allocations concentrated in cities with major population and employment centers.

Response: The City of Garden Grove partially agrees with the above finding as SCAG’s methodology, in part, incorporated higher allocations to cities with employment centers, transit accessibility (High Quality Transit Areas), and cities considered high resource areas (non-Disadvantaged Communities - DAC).

F6. RHNA allocations are unrealistic and not attainable within the current planning cycle due to limit ed available land, built -out urban conditions, infrastructure constraints, environmental factors, and public health and safety requirements.

Response: The City of Garden Grove agrees with the above finding.

28 Item 299/2026

Page 3 of 5 ends

F7. Residents in Orange County consistently express a desire for local planning decisions to reflect community priorities, including but not limited to neighborhood character, safety considerations, the environment and open-space preservation.

Response: The City of Garden Grove agrees with the above finding.

F8. California's regulatory construction costs (i.e. permitting fees) present substantial challenges for private housing developers—particularly those delivering affordable units.

Response: The City of Garden Grove partially agrees with the above finding. While city permit fees cover cost of service to developers, California regulatory requirements have added to the construction cost, such as the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), building material and energy efficiency requirements, among other state requirements.

F9. The cost of constructing a single affordable housing unit in California typically ranges from approximately $500,000 to $800,000 per unit when fully complying with current state regulations. New low -income housing is generally not financially f easible without public subsidy.

Response: The City of Garden Grove agrees with the above finding.

F10. Prior to their dissolution in 2012, redevelopment agencies served as a primary mechanism for cities and counties to finance affordable housing and related infrastructure.

The loss of redevelopment has reduced cities' ability to support con struction of affordable units.

Response: The City of Garden Grove agrees with the above finding.

F11. Because public subsidy is limited an d highly competitive, cities seeking to produce meaningful quantities of low -income housing must rely in part on private development incentives, often resulting in higher overall development densities and unit c ounts than the RHNA allocation.

Response: The City of Garden Grove partially agrees with the above finding as private develop incentives may result in an exceedance of the RHNA allocation for a specific site, but the city has not experienced an exceedance of its overall RHNA allocation through private developer incentives.

F12. The 6 th Cycle RHNA methodology included numerous technical inputs published by SCAG and HCD; however, these inputs were highly complex and difficult for cities to interpret or independently verify.

Response: The City of Garden Grove agrees with the above finding.

The Grand Jury report also outlined 20 recommendations, eight of which applied to Garden Grove.

29 Item 299/2026

(F4)

Response: The recommendation has been implemented. The City has assigned a dedicated staff member as the single technical representa tive, along with an alternate, for all RHNA - related SCAG and OCCOG committees to ensure continuity of participation and eliminate gaps in representation across multiple decision-making bodies.

R14. By April 30, 2027, the County of Orange and each city should publish annual monitoring dashboards showing (a) entitlement pipeline conditions, (b) realistic site yield, (c) assembled funding sources for affordable units, and (d) conversion rates from planned capacity to issued permits and completed units, ensuring that County and city-determined capacity assumptions remain aligned with actual production. (F13)

30 Item 299/2026

Page 5 of 5 ends

Response: The recommendation has been partially implemented with information av ailable on the city’s webpage.

R15. By September 30, 2026, and ongoing, the County Board of Supervisors and all city councils should make a coordinated and sustained effort to educate their constituents about the RHNA process—its requirements, its impact on local planning and community character, and the role residents can pla y in shaping outcomes. Public education efforts should also include guidance on how community members can effectively engage with the California Legislature and advocate for more realistic, data-driven housing policies. (F1, F7)

Response: The recommendation has been partially implemented with information available on the city’s webpage.

Response: The recommendation has been implemented as the city continues to maintain strong partnerships with not -for-profit housing developers and actively engages and collaborates on housing projects to increase production of affordable housing.

INTER-DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM

To:

Lisa L. Kim From: Ursula Luna-Reynosa
Dept:

City Manager Dept: Economic Development and
Housing

Date: 8/11/2026

Subject: Approval of out-of-state travel for City staff to attend the 2026 International Economic Development Council Annual Conference from October 25-28, 2026, and ratification of prior out-of-state travel related to hospitality development. (Action Item)

OBJECTIVE

For the City Council to amend previously approved out-of-state travel for four (4) Economic Development and Housing staff members to attend the 2026 International Economic Development Council Annual Conference in New Orleans, Louisia na, and to ratify prior out - of-state travel to New York City for Site C development meetings.

BACKGROUND

The 2026 IEDC Annual Conference will be held October 25 –28, 2026, at the Hyatt Regency New Orleans. The conference provides professional training, seminars, peer exchange, and recognized best practices in business attraction and retention, development finance, tourism, redevelopment, public-private partnerships, and organizational performance.

Site C is an important hospitality development project that will generate significant revenue for the City upon completion. Construction documents have been completed and submitted and currently under plan check review. The project is very close to being permit ready; however, financing the project remains the final challenge. The main purpose of travel to New York was to facilitate a potential partnership to assist with the financing challenge.

DISCUSSION

Conference participation supports the City’s ongoing IEDC re-accreditation process (currently underway) and provides staff with access to current industry standards, training, and best practices. The IEDC re -accreditation committee has informed staff that attendance at the annual conference is required as part of accreditation. Staff nominated the Foods of Garden Grove program for an award under the category of “Multimedia Promotion”. Award winners 37 Item 331/2026

will be announced in late August with the “Best in Show Award” winner announced at the conference.

This out-of-state conference was included and approved with the approved budget , but the anticipated staff attendees have changed. Currently, the Director, Deputy Director, Project Manager, and Administrative Analyst are proposed to attend. Participation by four staff members will allow the department to cover concurrent training ses sions and bring back practical tools that can be applied to the Economic Development Strategic Plan and major City development initiatives.

The Assistant City Manager/Director of Economic Development and Housing traveled to New York City to meet with the Site C development team at Investel’s headquarters and tour ed their project in Flushing, New York on July 8, 2026. The in-person meeting and tour included a facilitated introduction of a potential partner to Investel’s team in an attempt to move the project forward. The meeting and tour also provided direct access to key decision -makers and allowed focused discussions regarding project financing, hotel -brand coordination, development readiness, and the path toward construction. The meeting resulted in a N on Disclosure Agreement being signed between Investel and the potential partner. An updated market study and underwriting will be conducted in the coming months to understand an appropriate financial structure to move the project forward.

FINANCIAL IMPACT

The total cost for four staff members to attend the IEDC Annual Conference will not exceed $15,000. The estimated cost includes registration, airfare, lodging, ground transportation, meals, and other eligible travel expenses. This amount was included a nd approved in the current budget.

The total cost of the July 7 –9, 2026, Site C development trip was approximately $1,200 including airfare, lodging, and transportation costs. Funding was included in the adopted Fiscal Year 2026–27 Economic Development and Housing Department budget.

Both out-of-state travel expenses will be funded through the Economic Development and Housing Department's existing FY 2026 -27 operating budget. No additional appropriations are required.

RECOMMENDATION

It is recommended that the City Council:
 Amend the previously a pproved out-of-state travel for the four Economic Development and Housing staff members to attend the 2026 IEDC Annual Conference in New Orleans, Louisiana, from October 25–28, 2026, at a total cost not to exceed $15,000; and

Housing

Date: 8/11/2026

Subject: Approval of an agreement with Chipman Relocation & Logistics for moving services related to the Civic Center Revitalization Project. (Cost: Not to exceed $80,000)(Action Item)

OBJECTIVE

For the City Council to approve an agreement with Chipman Relocation & Logistics for moving services related to the Civic Center Revitalization Project in an amount not to exceed $80,000.

BACKGROUND

In March 2024, the City Council approved the Civic Center Revitalization Project, which includes construction of a new Public Safety Facility and a reimagined Civic Park. Phase I of the project is nearing completion, and the Police Department is preparing to relocate into the new facility.

To facilitate the move, staff solicited bids from qualified moving companies and received three responsive proposals. Chipman Relocation & Logistics (Chipman) submitted the lowest responsive and responsible bid.

DISCUSSION

The new Public Safety Facility is anticipated to achieve substantial completion in August 2026.

Police Department personnel are now preparing to occupy the new building. A key component of the transition is the relocation of files, furniture, equipment, materials, supplies, and other operational assets. To minimize disruptions to City operations and public services, the move is anticipated to occur over multiple weekends.

The contract also includes the temporary relocation of Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA) personnel from Fire Station 81 to accommodate hazardous materials abatement and demolition of the exi sting Police Department building. OCFA personnel are expected to be relocated for approximately four to six months. The agreement also includes funding to return OCFA personnel and equipment to Station 81 once the facility is ready for reoccupancy. 40 Item 304/2026

Page 2 of 2 ends

Chipman will provide moving materials, packing and relocation services, move coordination, and logistical support in collaboration with the Police Department, OCFA, and City staff. In addition, Chipman will perform the secure relocation of Property and Evidence Division materials. Chipman has successfully provided similar services for other public safety agencies and understands the security, chain -of-custody, and personnel background requirements associated with relocating sensitive law enforcement assets.

FINANCIAL IMPACT

The cost of the moving services is $80,000. Funding is available within the approved Civic Center Revitalization Project budget.

RECOMMENDATION

It is recommended that the City Council:
 Approve the agreement with Chipman Relocation & Logistics, in the amount not to exceed $80,000, for moving services associated with the Civic Center Revitalization Project.
 Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute the agreement on behalf of the City and approve minor, non -substantive modifications as necessary thereto on behalf of the City.

Company History
The Chipman Corporation was founded by Arthur

beginning to emerge from the Great Depression.

They began with only one truck, a small warehouse
and, most importantly, a family commitment to
helping individuals and companies through the
challenging process of moving. Their dream was to
build a moving company that would stand apart
from all others by living and breathing their core
values.

Today, more than eight decades later, Chipman has
grown to become one of the most successful moving
and logistics companies in the country. We
successfully move 20,000+ families each year,
globally. Our Workplace division relocates more
than 7,000 businesses of virtually every type and
size.

The Proposal is valid for no more than 30-days from the date it was issued. By accepting the Proposal, Edgemoor - Garden Grove Civic Center Relocation agree to following.

Customer is responsible for charges resulting from changes in the size, scope and conditions of the project.

All claims must be filed in writing by Customer within 10-days of completion of services.

City of Garden Grove

INTER-DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM

To:

Lisa L. Kim From: Samuel Kim
Dept:

City Manager Dept: Public Works
Date: 8/11/2026

Subject: Approval of Amendment No. 4 to the agreement with Orange County Emergency Pet Clinic for emergency animal care services. (Cost: $7,000) (Action Item)

OBJECTIVE

To request City Council authorization to approve Amendment No. 4 to increase the contract with Orange County Emergency Pet Clinic (OCEPC) by $7,000 for Fiscal Year 2025 -26 emergency care services.

BACKGROUND

During the establishment of the Animal Care Services Program in 2016, agreements were developed with two local veterinary hospitals for animals needing emergency care. Any animals requiring emergency care outside of normal working hours are taken and treated at the Orange County Emergency Pet Clinic, which only operates during nights, weekends, and holidays.

DISCUSSION

OCEPC provides essential services: emergency, critical, and supportive care for sick, injured, and orphaned animals of all types brought in by Animal Control Officers and local residents.

On many occasions, rapid treatment and stabilization are crucial to help alleviate pain and suffering for animals in need of immediate medical care.

While requesting all invoices to be submitted from vendors to close out FY2025-26, the City recently received an email from OCEPC with numerous late invoices dating back to March of 2026 that will require a contract increase of $7,000 to cover these costs.

FINANCIAL IMPACT

There is no impact to the General Fund. Funds to cover this contractual increase will be covered through the Public Works FY2025-26 Animal Care Services operational budget.

81 Item 333/2026

RECOMMENDATION

 Approve Amendment No. 4 in the amount of $7,000 to the contract with Orange County Emergency Pet Clinic to cover outstanding Fiscal Year 2025-26 invoices for emergency animal care services; and
 Authorize the City Manager , or designee, to execute Amendment No. 4 and make minor modifications as appropriate thereto on behalf of the City.

Dept:

City Manager Dept: Public Works
Date: 8/11/2026

Subject: Approval of Amendment No. 6 to the Yunex, LLC agreement for on-call traffic signal and emergency repair services. (Cost: $55,000)(Action Item)

OBJECTIVE

For City Council to approve Amendment No. 6, increasing the contract with Yunex LLC, from $169,950 to $224,950 – an increase of $55,000 to cover outstanding invoices for on -call traffic signal and emergency repair services for Fiscal Year 2025-26.

BACKGROUND

The Yunex, LLC, agreement was established in 2021 to provide support to the City’s 2-crew member Traffic Signal Maintenance team in addressing ongoing maintenance and emergency repair needs. During FY 2025-26, the City experienced an increase in streetlight knockdowns and emergency repairs. This has resulted in accelerated depletion of funds to the contract.

DISCUSSION

The subject agreement is concluding its final option year and the new contract amount for on-call traffic maintenance and emergency repair services has been increased to accommodate for the unexpected demands during FY 2026-27. Accordingly, staff requests an increase of $55,000 to the FY2025-26 contract with Yunex to cover all outstanding invoices.

FINANCIAL IMPACT

There is no impact to the General Fund. The increase of $55,000 will be absorbed into the FY2025-26 Public Works Engineering’s operating budget.

RECOMMENDATION

It is recommended that the City Council:

INTER-DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM

To:

Lisa L. Kim From: Samuel Kim
Dept:

City Manager Dept: Public Works
Date: 8/11/2026

Subject: Approval of Amendment No. 8 to the contract with West Coast Arborist, Inc. for tree trimming and related maintenance services. (Cost: $150,000)(Action Item)

OBJECTIVE

For City Council to approve Amendment No. 8 with West Coast Arborist, Inc. (WCA) to: (1) extend agreement through June 30, 2027, and to (2) increase the contract from $440,000 to $590,000 – a $150,000 increase for tree trimming and related maintenance services.

BACKGROUND

The Tree and Flood Control Maintenance Section (Section) in the Public Works Department is responsible for maintaining 16,000 city trees with support provided by WCA under a five-year agreement. The current agreement includes a “piggy-back” provision, which enables the City to automatically renew annual contract extensions based on the lead agency’s execution of its contract. The lead agency for this agreement is the City of Rancho Cucamonga.

DISCUSSION

The City of Rancho Cucamonga has opted to extend its WCA contract through June 30, 2027 – a sixth-year contract term. To avoid any disruption in tree maintenance services and to streamline the procurement process, staff recommends entering into a sixth -year contract extension with WCA as well, lasting through June 30, 2027.

Further, the Section is currently operating with one (1) full-time vacant Senior Street Maintenance Worker, which is budgeted at $129,750 for Fiscal Year 2026-27. The proposed increase in WCA contractual services will be funded through salary savings realized while the position remains vacant. Any additional costs will be absorbed within the Section’s adopted operating budget. Therefore, n o additional appropriation is required for increase in WCA contractual services.

89 Item 326/2026

Page 2 of 2 ends

FINANCIAL IMPACT

No additional appropriation is required to approve Amendment No. 8 to the contract with West Coast Arborist. The additional contract authority of $150,000 will only be utilized if the Public Works Department realizes salary savings from temporary position vacanc ies. Any expenditures under the amendment will be funded from available salary savings within the Department's existing adopted operating budget.

RECOMMENDATION

It is recommended that the City Council:
 Approve Amendment No. 8 in the amount of $150,000 to extend the contract with West Coast Arborist, Inc. through June 30, 2027; increasing the total not- to-exceed contract compensation from $440,000 to $590,000; and  Authorize the City Manager , or designee, to execute Amendment No . 8 and make minor modifications as appropriate thereto on behalf of the City.

Dept:

City Manager Dept: Police
Date: 8/11/2026

Subject: Approval to participate in the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Cannabis Tax Fund Grant Program. (Grant Amount: $211,404)(Action Item)

OBJECTIVE

To obtain City Coun cil approval to participate in the Cannabis Tax Fund Grant Program through the California Highway Patrol (CHP). Through the proposed grant, the City is eligible to receive $2 11,404 in state funds to implement DUI/CDL checkpoints, selective DUI enforcement operations, and educational activities within the community.

BACKGROUND

With the passage of Proposition 64, the Control, Regulate, and Tax Adult Use of Marijuana Act (AUMA), California voters mandated the state set aside funding for the California Highway Patrol to award grants to local governments and qualified non -profit organizations, as described in the Revenue and Taxation Code Section 34019(f)(3)(B).

The Cannabis Tax Fund Grant Program marks an essential step toward reducing impaired driving crashes, increasing public awareness surrounding the dangers of impaired driving, and making California roadways a safer place to travel. The Garden Grove Police Department has applied for and been awarded similar grants since 1996.

DISCUSSION

The California Highway Patrol works closely with state and local agencies and other traffic safety stakeholders to actively address impaired driving. The CHP will consider various factors in determining specific needs for each grant cycle, including opportunities and projects best suited to prevent the loss of life, injuries, and property damage caused by driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs.

The purpose of the Cannabis Tax Fund Grant Program is to provide alternative funding sources to augment, but not supplant, current activities and programs. The CHP will allocate funds for the project categories by California COD of Regulations (CCR) sections 1890.05 through 1890.07, as determined by the CHP.
93 Item 329/2026

Page 2 of 2 ends

FINANCIAL IMPACT

The California State Controller’s Office appropriates the funding provided, and all grants are awarded on a competitive basis.

RECOMMENDATION

It is recommended that the City Council:

 Approve additional appropriation in the amount of $211,404 for Fiscal Year 2026-27 in Fund 233, State Grants; and

Schedule A

Garden Grove Police Department

The Grantor determined awards and adjustments based on the Project’s merit, operational scale, compliance with the Request for Application (RFA), and program regulations. Certain activities or budget items proposed in Schedule A may have been deemed ineligible for funding. The final, binding list of authorized activities and expenses is set forth in Schedule B - Detailed Budget Estimate.

Project Description
The Garden Grove Police Department provides in-house training to new hires during the new officer orientation period. This training is critical to new officers due to the fact they have not been exposed to DUI related investigations prior to being trained by their training officers. As part of our field training program, Officers in training are exposed to DUI investigations on scene from senior officers conducting these types of investigations. The department currently has one SFST instructor who work with in a patrol capacity.

In the 2023/2024 Cannabis Grant cycle, the Garden Grove Police Department was given funding to purchase Fatal Vision DUI Drug goggles. The goggles imitate the subsequent effects of Cannabis use and/or a combination of drugs as it applies to driving. The equipment has been utilized in school type presentations and also our Citizen Academy training.

In terms of DUI enforcement efforts, the ultimate goal of the Garden Grove Police Department is to upkeep and/or increase the total number of DUI saturation operations conducted per year. The department is also provided with funding to conduct DUI saturation patrol by the Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) Step Grant. While this additional funding has helped the department combat impaired driving, additional allocated funding in this category would help combat the growing issue of impaired driving arrests, ulti mately reducing serious fatal traffic collisions. The department conducts such operations throughout the year and doubles the amount of operations within the winter months. Statistically, the winter months have shown to include the highest amount of DUI related offenses and arrests.

Problem Statement
The City of Garden Grove, located in the heart of Orange County, California, is a vibrant and diverse community known for its rich cultural heritage, strong economy, and thriving tourism. As of January 2026, Garden Grove currently has a population of approximately 172,361. Spanning over 18 square miles, Garden Grove is one of the most ethnically diverse cities in the region, home to Vietnamese American population, followed by a large Hispanic/Latino, Korean, and other multicultural communities. This diverse population plays a day-to-day role amongst city businesses, neighborhoods, restaurants, and annual events including the Strawberry Festival which attracts visitors from across the region.

Garden Grove is the 32nd largest city within California and 164th largest city within the United States. Garden Grove has a population density of 9576 people per square mile and is currently growing at a rate of 1.3% annually.

With approximately 172 sworn officers, including administrative staff, this equates to one officer for every 1002 residents spread over the highly densely populated 18 square miles. In regard to traffic enforcement, there are only 11 motor officers conducting traffic enforcement throughout the 18 square miles and 172,361 residents. This does not include visitors, patrons, and the working force within the city.

As both a residential and tourist destination, Garden Grove faces unique transportation safety challenges.

Traffic collision investigations continue to be one of the most common calls for service officers respond to within the city. Over the past five years, the city has had an increase in alcohol, drug, and/or a combination of both alcohol and drugs, related to injury and non-injury vehicle collisions. The trend is common amongst the entire County of Orange and surrounding counties. There has been an increase in major traffic collisions resulting in major injuries and/or fatal injuries involving impaired drivers. The city is committed to improving roadway conditions and enhancing traffic safety measures to reduce crashes and protect all road users.

In the City of Garden Grove, there has been a total of 78 fatal traffic collisions since the beginning of 2019 to the end of 2025. Of those fatalities, 21 fatal traffic collisions involved impaired drivers, as well as over 208 other injury traffic collisions involving impaired drivers. The negative effects of impaired driving has struck our community on several occasions.
102
Schedule A

An example of this occurred on Mother's Day morning in May 2024. The female victim, a mother of two children, slept in her bedroom next to her husband when an impaired driver lost control of his vehicle and collided into the victim's house. The vehicle entered the bedroom and landed on top of the female victim, killing her instantly. This collision impacted the entire community and members of the department given its unpredictable, unexpected, and tragic result.

A second example where impaired driving negatively affected our community occurred in June of 2024, when a family of five were riding bicycles with three children in tow. An impaired driver struck the entire family from the back as they rode their bicycles, resulting in the death of a five year old child and major injuries to the rest of the family. The lives of these victims will forever be affected as a result of impaired driving.

The most recent example occurred in August of 2025. A motorcyclist was driving his motorcycle on Garden Grove Blvd., a main thoroughfare, on his way to his son's birthday party. An impaired driver failed to yield to the motorcyclist and made a left turn in front of the motorcyclist. The motorcyclist collided into the impaired driver’s vehicle and was declared deceased at the scene. The driver was determined to be under the influence of both alcohol and drugs.

In the most recent CHP Cannabis grant reporting year, Garden Grove recorded 9 fatalities and 393 injuries resulting from traffic crashes. Fatal traffic collisions were reduced by 6 fatalities compared to 2024.

Of particular concern is the safety of vulnerable road users such as pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorcyclists being involved in traffic collisions. This past year 5 pedestrians were killed and 44 were injured in traffic collisions, 2 motorcyclists were killed and 15 were reportedly injured, and 55 bicyclists were injured. These figures only account for incidents that were officially reported to our department, and countless other likely went unreported.

The Garden Grove Police Department is committed to using all available resources to combat impaired driving and prevent related fatalities. Impaired driving remains a persistent issue in the city, and the City of Garden Grove has adopted a zero-tolerance approach to address and reduce these dangerous incidents.

Alcohol/drug related crashes resulted in 2 fatalities and 22 injuries. These statistics may be skewed due to a lack of properly trained personnel to detect drug-impaired drivers, potentially allowing some offenders to go undetected. Additionally, 1 fatality and 4 injuries were linked to crashes involving both alcohol and drugs. Hit- and-run incidents further exacerbate safety concerns, with 37 injury crashes reported. Nighttime collision are also notable hazardous, with 8 fatalities and 121 injuries occurring during hours of darkness.

In the last seven years, approximately 2,214 arrests and several thousand citizen contacts related to DUI investigations have been made. The City of Garden Grove is committed to the safety of the citizen and our residents. DUI Saturation operations are frequently used as a means to deter, located, and arrest impaired drivers. Within this process, we also make it a point to provide educational opportunities to the members within our community and provide information as to the dangers of impaired driving on our roadways.

Through the opportunities granted to our department through the OTS STEP grant, we are able to continue with our zero-tolerance efforts towards eliminating impaired driving within our roadways. The efforts are focused on all motorists and citizens within the community of Garden Grove. Through the use of press releases and social media platforms, an effort is always made to educate the community on the dangers of driving impaired, the costs of being prosecuted for DUI/DUID, and the alternative methods of transportation available to those that may consider driving while impaired. The City of Garden Grove has capitalized on funding provided by the OTS STEP grant and since 2023/2024, we have been awarded by the CHP Cannabis Tax Grant.

With the financial assistance of both these grants, we have been able to increase our efforts in the battle against impaired driving. At the closing period of 2025, six members of our Neighborhood Traffic Unit (NTU) and three patrol officers received the prestigious MADD award. Majority of these arrests were made during DUI Saturation operations involving drivers who were under the influence of alcohol, drugs, and/or a combination of both.

103
Schedule A

Studies show the issue of impaired driving continues to rise. According to the 2018 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUJ) in 2018, 12.6 million motorists drove under the influence of illicit drugs. After alcohol, marijuana is the drug most commonly found to be located within the blood of drivers involved in traffic collisions. THC (Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol) can be detected in body fluids for several days, even weeks after usage and is often combined with alcohol.

The vehicle collision risk associated with marijuana in combination with alcohol, cocaine, or benzodiazepines appears to be greater than that for each drug by itself. According to the Governors Highway Safety Association, 43.6% of fatally injured drivers in 2016 tested positive for drugs and over half of those drivers tested positive for two or more drugs. Based on data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in 2016, among drivers tested in fatal crashes, 44% had used a legal or illicit drug, compares to 38% who tested positive for alcohol. Per TREDS, according to a 2014 study, there were 7,000 new marijuana users per day. After alcohol, marijuana was the most commonly detected drug amongst drivers killed in traffic collisions in 2016, out of 44% of drivers killed in traffic collisions who tested positive for drugs, 41% had used a strain of marijuana.

GGPD is dedicated to reducing collisions, preventing fatalities, and fostering a safer transportation environment for all residents and visitors. Through targeted enforcement, public education, and valuable trainings, we are committed to enhancing traffic safety and protecting the community. By securing this grant funding, GGPD will be able to address critical resource gaps, improve officers’ effectiveness, and implement proactive safety measures that will have a lasting impact on roadway safety in the City of Garden Grove.

If the department falls short of the set goals, an explanation will be provided in detail. 104
Schedule A

Program Sustainability
The Garden Grove Police Department's main goal is to reduce the amount of dangerous DUI drivers on our roadways. In an effort to combat the ongoing trend of DUI related injury/fatal traffic collision countywide, our department conducts saturation patrols almost weekly. Due to limited funding, DUI patrols and checkpoints are limited to the money allotted from competitive grants such as the OTS STEP GRANT and the CHP Cannabis Grant. Our department was fortunate to obtain the CHP Cannabis Tax Fund Grant since 2023. To date we continue seeing great success in combating DUI drivers on our roadways. We are ambitious and extremely motivated to continue to utilize these funds and make a positive impact in the battle against impaired driving.

This department has always embraced partnerships with outside agencies, and we have always welcomed engagement and collaborative efforts. As laws continue to change and evolve pertaining to illicit substances, now more than ever, an emphasis needs to be placed on enforcement and education as it pertains to impaired driving. This funding can also be utilized to send officers to training conferences and seminars that are held throughout. Currently there is no city funding allocated towards sending officers to these types of trainings. This is due to the increasingly high cost of travel and lodging for numerous officers to attend trainings that are outside of commuting distances. These trainings can be critical to the success of an officer(s) when conducting DUI Saturation patrols.

Administrative Support
The grant coordinators within this department have become extremely efficient with not only meeting the outlined requirements of past grants awarded, but excelling and exceeding the expectations outlined. Proper use of grant funds is always a top priority for the coordinators and the management that oversee all grant related activities. Currently officers assigned to the Neighborhood Traffic Unit (NTU), are in charge of managing grants awarded by OTS and the CHP Cannabis Tax Fund Grant. In addition to this, a supervisor within the traffic unit oversees all final decision making and accounts on where funding is being used, as well as what resources are being allocated towards. Once the coordinator approves an activity or purchase from grant funding, the supervisor assigned has the final decision to approve or deny the request on the grantee side.

Our grant coordinators also keep an open line of communication with fiscal representatives at the Garden Grove City Hall. These relationships between our officers and accounting personnel ensure that proper documentation and preparation is completed prior to, during, and at the end of grant cycles. The administrative staff within this agency have placed great emphasis on impaired driving and support our efforts to combat the dangers of these illegal and dangerous actions. This department has the necessary t rained personnel to manage such a grant, and we are confident we will excel if we continue receiving funding from the CHP Cannabis Tax Grant Unit.

INTER-DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM

To:

Lisa L. Kim From: Samuel Kim
Dept:

City Manager Dept: Public Works
Date: 8/11/2026

Subject: Award a contract to Koppl Pipeline Services, LLC for on-call hot tapping and line stopping services. (Cost: Not to exceed $200,000)(Action Item)

OBJECTIVE

For City Council to award a contract to Koppl Pipeline Services, LLC for on -call hot tapping and line stopping services.

BACKGROUND

Hot tapping and line stopping are specialized services used to connect new water infrastructure or isolate sections of existing water mains while the pipeline remains in active service. These services are essential to the Water Services Division's ability to perform system improvements, emergency repairs, and infrastructure modifications without interrupting water service to customers. These services require specialized equipment and trained personnel, so the Water Services Division periodically requires on-call services from qualified contractors who can respond quickly to planned and emergency work.

In the last fiscal year, two (2) emergency purchase orders were issued for repairs to defective gate valves. Koppl Pipeline Services, LLC is a licensed, exp erienced contractor with demonstrated expertise in hot tapping and line stopping operations on municipal water systems. Staff is recommending to award a contract to Koppl Pipeline Services, LLC in the amount of $200,000 for the current fiscal year.

DISCUSSION

In an effort to procure these specialized services through a competitive process, staff issued two (2) Requests for Proposals (RFPs) in January and March; however, no responsive bids were received. Further competitive solicitation would be unproducti ve and not in the City's best operational interest. Therefore, staff recommends to dispense of the bidding process pursuant to Garden Grove Municipal Code Section 2.50.060 (G).

Following the failure of both competitive solicitations to yield proposals, the Water Distribution section initiated direct negotiations with qualified vendors in accordance with City 152
Item 268/2026

Page 2 of 2 ends

procurement requirements and the option to negotiate a contract when two (2) competitive procurement methods were unsuccessful.

After outreach to qualified service providers, the Water Distribution section negotiated an agreement with Koppl Pipeline Services, LLC. The negotiated rates and contract terms were reviewed and determined to be fair and reasonable based on prevailing market conditions.

FINANCIAL IMPACT

The agreement has a not-to-exceed amount of $200,000 for the current fiscal year. Funding for the initial term is included in the City’s FY 2026–27 Water Fund operating budget. There is no impact to the General Fund.

RECOMMENDATION

It is recommended that the City Council:

 Approve dispensing of the bidding process pursuant to Garden Grove Municipal Code Section 2.50.060 (G);
• Award a contract to Koppl Pipeline Services, LLC for on -call hot tapping and line stopping services in the amount not-to-exceed of $200,000 for Fiscal Year 2026-27; and
• Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute the agreement on behalf of the City and to make minor modifications as appropriate thereto.

INTER-DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM

To:

Lisa L. Kim From: Samuel Kim
Dept:

City Manager Dept: Public Works
Date: 8/11/2026

Subject: Authorization for the issuance of an emergency purchase order with Sulzer for booster pump electrical equipment replacement services at the Lampson Reservoir and Booster Pump Station. (Cost: Not to exceed $75,636) (Action Item)

OBJECTIVE

To receive City Council approval of an emergency purchase order with Sulzer for booster pump electrical equipment replacement parts for the Lampson Reservoir and Booster Pump Station.

BACKGROUND

The Garden Grove Public Works Department’s Water Services Division owns and operates the water system that provides water services throughout the city. The Division’s water production facilities require functioning booster pumps to keep water moving through the City’s distribution system at the pressure needed to meet system demands such as daily use and fire protection. Booster pump operations rely on a piece of equipment called a variable frequency drive (VFD), which controls the pump’s speed. A failure of VFDs would affect the safety, health, and property of the community at large.

The Water Services Division is requesting the issuance of an emergency purchase order with Sulzer for booster pump electrical equipment replacement. During a recent site visit at the Lampson Reservoir and Booster Pump Station, City staff and a technician from Sul zer, the company that originally installed this equipment, found that the cabinet housing for two VFDs was running noticeably hotter than normal. Upon closer inspection, they identified that the VFDs, which serve two large booster pumps, are exhibiting sig ns of degradation and the cooling fans are not performing adequately. This creates an elevated risk of equipment failure that would present an immediate threat to public health, safety, and welfare. If either VFD were to fail unexpectedly, the affected boo ster pump would go offline, which would disrupt water service and firefighting capability until repairs can be made. With the City currently experiencing its peak water demand season, these pumps play an increased critical role for meeting both daily and fire flow demands.

DISCUSSION

Sulzer installed the original drives in 2012 and still holds the shop order records and as-built drawings for both cabinets. As an authorized service provider for the required Toshiba VFAS3 replacement drives, Sulzer can move directly to engineering and fabrication, while another vendor would first need to survey the site and reverse -engineer the existing installation, adding significant lead time. Sulzer has quoted 4 to 6 weeks lead time to complete work once an order is plac ed; a standard competitive bidding process would add several weeks or months to this timeline, extending the City's exposure to failure. Staff therefore recommends dispensing with the bidding process pursuant to Garden Grove Municipal Code Section

2.50.060 (B).

There is currently no blanket purchase order with Sulzer to cover this service. Therefore, staff is seeking to designate these costs as emergency repairs and issue an emergency purchase order in the amount of $75,635.69 to accommodate sales tax, tariff-related cost adjustments disclosed in the Sulzer quotes, and any unforeseen field conditions. During the replacement process, the Sulzer technicians will be able to thoroughly inspect all components of the motor control centers and address any unanticipated work required, which may result in additional costs.

FINANCIAL IMPACT

There is no impact to the General Fund. The estimated total for these repairs is $75,635.69 to accommodate sales tax, tariff -related cost adjustments, and a ny unforeseen field conditions. This amount will be absorbed in the City’s adopted F iscal Year 2026-27 Water Enterprise Budget.

RECOMMENDATION

It is recommended that the City Council:
 Approve dispensing with the bidding process pursuant to Garden Grove Municipal Code Section 2.50.060 (B); and
 Authorize the Finance Director, or designee, to issue an emergency purchase order to to Sulzer in the amount of $75,635.69 for variable frequency drive electrical equipment replacement services at the Lampson Reservoir and Booster Pump Station.

TSG's approach is built on early communication, clear expectations, accurate documentation, and proactive issue resolution. We understand that successful CWA administration is not limited to enforcing agreement provisions after problems occur. It requires educating contractors before work begins, maintaining strong communication with City staff and labor representatives, tracking workforce participation in real time, documenting compliance consistently, and resolving questions before they become formal disputes.

UNDERSTANDING OF SCOPE OF SERVICES
TSG's City of Garden Grove Presence and Experience
TSG has a comprehensive and practical understanding of the City's CWA Program and the operational requirements associated with serving as the CWA Administrator. Our firm has supported the City since 2020, when the City Council approved its first five-year Community Workforce Agreement. During this partnership, we have assisted in interpreting the CWA, educating contractors, coordinating with City project managers and departments, facilitating dispute resolution, and supporting the implementation of the City's local hiring goals. This prior partnership provided our team with firsthand knowledge of the City's expectations, internal workflows, contractor community, labor stakeholders, and the unique characteristics of Garden Grove's public works program.

TSG recognizes and has navigated the core issues associated with administering CWAs.

These include educating contractors unfamiliar with union referral systems, coordinating expectations between non-union contractors and the Building Trades, supporting apprenticeship pipeline development, ensuring proper documentation, monitoring trust fund and prevailing wage obligations, and maintaining a consistent presence throughout pre-bid meetings, pre-construction meetings, pre-job conferences, construction activities, and project closeout Our prior service to Garden Grove has shown that early outreach, proactive communication, and immediate response to emerging issues are essential to minimizing disputes and ensuring smooth project delivery.

We understand that the City's newly executed 2026 CWA represents an expanded and more comprehensive phase of the City's workforce program. The 2026 CWA now includes a broader range of covered construction projects from Engineering, Water, Sanitary District, Facilities Maintenance, Community Services, and Economic Development. This expansion requires a CWA Administrator with the ability to work across multiple City departments, apply consistent procedures to varied project types, and provide clear guidance to City staff, contractors, subcontractors, and labor representatives. TSG's existing familiarity with the City allows us to continue providing this support efficiently and with continuity.

We know the importance of maintaining continuity, supporting multiple departments, and balancing the needs of the City, contractors, unions, and the community. Our team will use this experience to continue administering the City's CWA in a practical, responsive, and collaborative manner that supports compliance, minimizes disputes, and helps ensure the benefits of the CWA reach Garden Grove residents and workers. 402

APPROACH TO SCOPE OF SERVICES
We will come prepared on day one with our research, relationships, and lessons learned.

The backbone of our services to the City include:
• Managing and interpreting the CWA
• Educating contractors (prior to work and ongoing) and facilitating communication • Monitoring via our regular, highly visible onsite presence • Mediating contractor dispute/delinquencies and effectively managing their resolution
• Enhancing stakeholder relationships with the Trades, contractors, and City staff • Establishing accurate appraisals of manpower throughout the region • Reporting to the City's CWA Administrator and project managers, and City Council • Managing staff member assignments to provide cost efficiencies Based on our experience, the core responsibilities for the CWA Administrator are best achieved through a focus on the following:

Managing & Interpreting the CWA
Through our analysis of the City's CWA, we begin with establishing a clear, consistent, and practical framework for implementation across all covered projects. TSG will serve as a knowledgeable resource to the City by reviewing the CWA in relation to each task order, identifying project-specific requirements before work begins, and translating agreement provisions into clear guidance for contractors, subcontractors, unions, and City staff.

Our goal is to prevent confusion, promote consistent application of the CWA, and resolve questions early through practical interpretation, written guidance, meeting participation, and direct communication with stakeholders. 403
City of Garden Grove
Community Workforce Agreement Administrative Services RFP Contractor Education
We know that CWAs can be confusing to contractors. We believe in educating contractors up front and involving interested stakeholders early. We will ensure that all stakeholders have a full understanding of the City's CWA. For example, at the Port of Long Beach, our project manager published a formal letter to a potential subcontractor confirming that non-union contractors were allowed on CWA-covered projects because the general contractor had told them the job was union only. Our action prevented potential issues and future misunderstandings.

Communication
Without a firmly enforced, clearly communicated policy prior to the Pre-Job Conference, a prime contractor may show up ill-informed - unable to answer important questions from union agents. To prevent this, we use a standard Pre-Job Form requiring the prime contractor to disclose tasks and subcontractor contact data before a Pre-Job Conference is scheduled. Regular communication with contractors and unions, coupled with routine monitoring of targets, results in early identification of problem areas and allows us an opportunity to identify and resolve potential issues before they become significant.

Prevailing Wage Rate Clarification for Contractors
Potential prevailing wage issues may arise if contractors are unfamiliar with public works contracts. Some contractors may not have experience working on public works projects, so our team provides guidance and support to ensure their workers receive the proper wage payments. Our team also makes sure that contractors are educated on the difference between state and federal classifications for prevailing wage.

Issue Resolution
We understand that high visibility on the job site is a key component. We are frequently approached by onsite workers who want to share potential issues, because of this we are often aware of issues before the unions or contractors. We position ourselves as the "first call", allowing us to resolve many disputes early. We resolve disputes early by addressing technical questions about CWA requirements with a simple phone call or face-to-face discussion with the contractor.

City of Garden Grove
Community Workforce Agreement Administrative Services RFP Union Relationships
Our firm has built strong professional connections with all levels of union organizations from the Business and Dispatch Agents to the Apprenticeship Coordinators and Trust Fund Administrators. We work with the Building Trades Council on resolving jurisdictional disputes, and have relationships at the national, state and local levels of key Trades Councils.

Monitoring and Reporting
A key element of any successful program is monitoring and reporting the results.

Throughout our history of providing CWA administration services for similar programs, we have developed proprietary processes for monitoring, summarizing, and reporting key data. Most importantly, our process includes concise, easy-to-understand reports for the City Council and the public.

KEY CWA PROGRAM ELEMENTS
!ff3^
^^&I^J
^j
Education
TSG communicates with contractors pre-bid, post award, pre-construction, and throughout the life of a project to convey requirements and expectations of the awarding bod/s CWA.

Community Bootcamp
We conduct a community bootcamp with potential bidders, so stakeholders are exposed to the benefits, requirements, and challenges of working under an agreement, recurring throughout the life of the project.

Pre-Construction Meeting
We conduct a pre-construction meeting with all contractors to establish requirements per project, and distribute informational packets communicating the same. This education process continues as needed throughout the life of the project.

Post-Award Training
We conduct post-award training so the contractor has a clear understanding of CWA requirements and navigating union assignments and worker referrals. Training includes the approach to indenturing workers into apprenticeship programs and interfacing with union hiring halls and community-based organizations that counsel construction worker candidates.

Pre-Job Conferences
We conduct pre-job conferences to establish craft assignments and contractor compliance with union referral and payment provisions. In addition, TSG reaches out to unions and establishes awareness of CWA requirements and gathers updates on workforce availability.

Data Collection/Workforce Tracking
Creating a submittal schedule that coincides with the awarding body's manuals developed for the CWA provide a structure for collecting data, track goals, evaluate progress, and forecast attainment. Utilizing our software streamlines the ability to collect information and create effective reports based on data from certified payroll reports and offers the ability to customize reporting from summaries to more focused statistics to best fit how the awarding body wants to connect with stakeholders.

Reporting
Reporting is used to assess workforce capacity, keep the awarding body informed on CWA administration activities, and as a measurement for compliance. TSG will submit the following reports:
• Project-specific monthly report summarizing CWA activities; potential irregularities, grievances, or other union issues; detailing issues under investigation and compliance violations; and recommended actions. • Quarterly report detailing all of the above-mentioned data in addition to utilizing residents, disadvantaged workers, and apprentices. It also covers efforts to achieve CWA workforce goals.

Enforcement Mechanisms
Compliance is measured by document submittals, trust fund payments, and performance under CWA policies for local and disadvantaged hiring and quantifiable utilization goals. Routine audits of CWA documents like the Core Employees List and craft request forms are included in compliance submittals, along with requirements under State and Federal prevailing wage regulations. Recommendations for retention releases and contractor payments are made monthly, reinforced by compliance reporting to ensure contractors have the proper time and understanding to apply corrective action to ensure compliance by project end. Escalation for non-compliance consist of communication with the contractor for voluntary compliance, formal request for a corrective action plan, formal notice of non-compliance, recommendation for withholding, and recommendation for substitution, if necessary.

IMPLEMENTATION
TSG is an unbiased advisor to both unions and contractors. If unions perceive us to be pro- contractor or vice versa, our ability to collaboratively solve problems is impeded. Instead, we act as a true independent source of information and support for both. Since our efforts to mediate and facilitate are always unbiased, the result is very few disputes going the full course of the grievance procedure.

TSG speaks with International Union representatives about jurisdictional assignments, prepares background data for CWA arbitrators, negotiates letters of understanding on interpretation of CWA provisions, and communicates CWA interpretations to contractors and unions at Joint Administrative Committee meetings, all with the intention of maintaining a collaborative CWA.

TI Training. Compliance, and Liaison
To be effective at creating career opportunities for local residents and disadvantaged workers, all stakeholders need to do their part. The Building Trades will be the source of referred labor through the CWA and the contractors are the gatekeepers to indenture new workers into apprenticeship programs. To build and maintain effective relationships, the Building Trades Council, Business Agents, Dispatch Agents, Apprenticeship Coordinators, Trust Fund Administrators, contractors, and contractor organizations like the Associated General Contractors of California, will need to work together to bring career opportunities to the community.
^) Program Creation & Implementation
Implementing a program that introduces contractors to the expectations of a CWA is a critical step in creating a symbiotic relationship between the contractors and the building trades. Without a firmly enforced, clearly communicated training policy prior to award, a prime contractor may show up ill-informed and unable to answer questions from union agents as pre-construction activities begin. To prevent this, TSG uses a proactive approach to inform contractors beginning with a community bootcamp with potential bidders after a CWA is introduced, so stakeholders are exposed to the benefits, requirements, and challenges of working under a CWA. TSG also uses Job-walks, pre-award meetings, post award meetings, and pre-job conferences to ensure contractors understand requirements and expectations.
>7
407
City of Garden Grove
Community Workforce Agreement Administrative Services RFP Program Creation & Implementation Continued
We will complete a training schedule and policies and procedures manual for CWA administration and integrate it with labor compliance procedures before projects are advertised for bid. We will also complete a compliance manual for contractors to use as a guide, with necessary forms and instructions, and a short summary of key CWA provisions.

TSG believes strongly in educating contractors up front and involving interested stakeholders. We will ensure that all builders in the field—regardless of their position in the program—have a full understanding of the City's CWA and compliance program requirements, including:
• Tracking ongoing and upcoming projects and establishing access to project data. • Adopting and continuing systems, preparing templates of project forms, and distributing to contractors.
• Setting up submittal schedules such as certified payroll reports and local hiring utilization reports.
• Regular checks for project progress and expected completion dates in case of project schedule changes.
• Providing the construction managers with monthly status reports and invoice payment recommendations, integrating CWA compliance into overall contractor compliance oversight.
• Preparing monthly activity reports for City review, with logs of issues addressed. >8

City of Garden Grove
Community Workforce Agreement Administrative Services RFP Outreach and Training
TSG has extensive experience in developing and implementing outreach and contractor training programs to expand the pool of qualified firms available to bid on projects. TSG conducts contractor pre-qualification programs, provides contractor assistance in obtaining XBE certification, and offers information on bonding, insurance, and tax credit opportunities for contractors. Some ways we implement these programs includes:
• Expanding the pool and diversity of bidders through outreach to firms certified with other agencies and expanding contractors' networks to reach certified minority women and LBGTQ+ firms that may meet the requirements for agency projects through emails, informational events, and direct phone campaigns. • Monthly virtual informational meetings - engaging contractors and subcontractors through informational events will help get an understanding of barriers to bidding agency projects that may currently exist and appropriate mitigations. • Use of direct surveys - giving contractors/subcontractors a forum to ask questions and express concerns will assist in understanding obstacles they face or needs that aren't being met allowing for processes improvements.
• Expand Subcontractor network - Outreach to create strong subcontractor base for awarded projects - Outreach efforts consistently reach the prime contractors for bids but once awarded, its up to contractors to find and subcontract with small businesses. We can create and keep database of qualified firms and facilitate effective communication between primes and potential subcontractors. • Track contracts and subcontracts for all firm types and identify which certified business type are underrepresented, in addition to required monitoring efforts for Small, Regional and Disabled Veterans Business Enterprises. 19 409

QUALITY ASSURANCE AND QUALITY CONTROL
TSG maintains internal quality control procedures to ensure a high level of professional service in our advice and work products. Our quality control system consists of two key elements as discussed below:

Periodic team meetings to review budget and schedule. Our team jointly tackles unresolved issues and note lessons learned on the project.

Peer-to-peer review at the Project Manager level.

Performed for all written work products before they
are published, peer reviews are an important part
of our quality control.

Our Project Manager reviews all data entry
and other work products from TSG staff
including:
• Project tracking logs
Workforce tracking entries
•
Any flagged project issues
• Site Interviews performed
Expended vs. remaining project budgets
When projects involve specific funding windows with their own unique requirements, TSG tracks those goals and deadlines using a separate but parallel path that allows our Project Manager to quickly determine whether requirements are being met or need further communication with the contractor or vendor. A complete copy of TSG's QA/QC manual is available upon request.

Community Workforce Agreement Administrative Services RFP Project Specific Pricing Methodology
We develop project-specific cost estimates by service (i.e., Labor Compliance Administration, PLA Administrator Services, etc.) based on the following factors:
• Construction Value
• Planned Construction Duration
• Number of Prime contracts to be monitored
• Estimated number of subcontracts to be monitored
Utilizing actual staff hours required to perform on similar past work, we develop estimates of the total average monthly staff hours necessary to provide monitoring for projects of similar size, duration, and construction team composition. We issue monthly invoices for a lump- sum amount calculated as the total fixed-fee for the project, divided by the sum of the planned construction duration plus two months for closeout activities. If actual construction activities continue beyond the planned end of construction, we will continue providing all services for the monthly lump-sum fee.

The cost estimate for our services based on the City's $26,100,000 annual project budget would be approximately $104,000.

INTER-DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM

To:

Lisa L. Kim From: Samuel Kim
Dept:

City Manager Dept: Public Works
Date: 8/11/2026

Subject: Authorization for the issuance of purchase orders with Econolite Control Products (Cost: $100,000 peryear) and JTB Supply Company, Inc. (Cost: $150,000 peryear) for traffic control operations for Fiscal Year 2026-27 through Fiscal Year 2030-31. (Action Item)

OBJECTIVE

For City Council to authorize issuance of purchase orders to Econolite Control Products (Econolite) in the amount of $100,000 annually for five-years, for a combined $500,000 , and JTB Supply Company, Inc. (JTB Supply) in the amount of $150,000 annually for five years, for a combined $750,000 for the purchase of traffic control products.

BACKGROUND

In accordance with the City’s purchasing policy, a formal bid process is required for the procurement of materials, supplies and equipment exceeding $25,000, including purchases on as-needed basis. As the sole source provider for the City’s traffic signal control system, Econolite is exempt from the formal bidding process pursuant to Garden Grove Municipal Code 2.50.060(C). Similarly, the Public Works Department has determined that it is in the best interest of the City to dispense with the formal bidding for JTB Supply , pursuant to Garden Grove Municipal Code 2.50.060 (G) as JTB Supply has demonstrated wide product availability, proven responsiveness, and geogr aphic convenience – all factors critical for routine and emergency traffic signal operations.

DISCUSSION
The City exclusively uses Econolite controllers for its traffic signal system. These controllers are essential devices housed at every signalized intersection to regulate the timing and coordination of vehicular and pedestrian traffic signals. Econolite controllers have consistently demonstrated reliability and effectiveness in maintaining safe and efficient traffic flow.

JTB Supply offers a broad inventory of traffic signal hardware from 17 different manufacturers and consistently provides competitive pricing. Their ability to rapidly fulfill urgent requests 431
