AGENDA ITEM
Report: Authorization of Amendments to the Professional Services Agreement with Crandall Arambula for the West Glendale Sustainable Transportation and Land Use Study Regarding the Multi-Family, Mixed-Use, and Tropico Center Plan Objective Design Criteria Projects Utilizing SB 2 Grant Funding
1. Motion Authorizing the City Manager, or his Designee, to Execute an Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement between the City of Glendale and Crandall Arambula for the West Glendale Sustainable Transportation and Land Use Study to Increase the Contract Amount by $102,000, for a New Maximum Not-to-Exceed Total of $676,320.
COUNCIL ACTION
Item Type: Consent Calendar
Approved for April 12, 2022 calendar
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Staff seeks City Council’s authorization to allow the City Manager, or his designee, to execute an amendment to the agreement between the City and Crandall Arambula, to increase the cost of the agreement by $102,000 in order to complete the Multi-Family, Mixed-Use, and Tropico Center Plan Objective Design Criteria Projects, approved by Council as an amendment to Crandall Arambula’s contract under the West Glendale Sustainable Transportation and Land Use Study. This contract increase is requested to finalize the detailed visual graphics, objective design standards and proposed code language for the Tropico Plan, and for multi-family and mixed-use zoning. This amendment is completely funded by SB 2 grant funding received for this specific purpose and does not rely on any General Fund funding.

COUNCIL PRIORITIES
Safe and Healthy Community and Balanced, Quality Housing: As the West Glendale Sustainable Transportation and Land Use Study focuses on access to transportation and also on creating standards for additional housing, it fulfills Council’s priorities in developing a more walkable and livable community.
RECOMMENDATION
Approval of the $102,000 contract increase is recommended for the completion of the projects listed below.
Utilizing SB 2 grant award funding, this amendment will provide sufficient funding to complete the following projects:
- Development and Refinement of Multi-Family Design and Development Standards;
- Development and Refinement of Mixed Use Corridor Design and Development Standards;
- Evaluation of Standards created to date and Development and Refinement of remaining Tropico Center Plan Design and Development Standards; and - Development of Example Sheets for an Illustrative Based Code.
BACKGROUND
In April 2020, City Council accepted an award from the State’s Housing and Community Development Department, per the SB 2 Planning Grant Program, of $625,000 that was to be used towards the following initiatives:
Updating the Land Use and Housing Elements of the General Plan; Updating mixed-use development standards in commercial corridors; Developing objective design-standards for all multi-family zones; and Evaluating two City-acquired properties for the maximum affordable housing development potential.
During the same meeting, City Council also authorized the City Manager to execute an amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with Crandall Arambula (“PSA”) to increase the maximum cost under the PSA by $155,000. This amendment was to facilitate additional work for the West Glendale Sustainable Transportation and Land Use Study, utilizing the SB 2 grant award funding, to:
Update the commercial zoning standards to streamline mixed-use and residential development in commercial corridors and centers;
Draft objective design standards for all multi-family and mixed use projects; and Assist in the completion of the development of transit-oriented development standards as part of the Tropico plan.
The efforts to update the multi-family zoning standards date back to late 2019, when Council directed staff to examine the multi-family development standards. Per public comment received, questions were raised as to whether existing development and design standards were preventing multi-family developments from achieving maximum 13 of 129
34 b
3 1
9 6
development potential. These standards include but are not limited to: height, subterranean parking, common open space, setbacks, and lot coverage. These standards can impact the overall building form and ability to create the necessary square footage to provide housing units, or increase the overall cost of development which directly impacts the cost of housing construction. As such, there is possibility that the existing standards may be inhibiting the production of affordable housing, particularly housing targeted at moderate income levels.
In addition to local consideration of the development standards, there have been a number of state level proposals that seek to remove all subjective design guidelines.
Similar to the work completed with the Downtown Specific Plan update, the City is working towards establishing objective design and development criteria for multi-family and mixed use zones. The City is also working on updating the zoning for commercial corridors to promote streamlined development of residential and mixed use projects previously preempted by too stringent development standards and to permit by-right residential. Such updates could improve development potential of properties while maintaining local control of development quality.
Meanwhile, the City is working towards the completion of the Tropico Center Plan, focused on creating a transit-oriented district around the Larry Zarian Transportation Center. City Council had approved the initiation of the preparation of a Transit Oriented Development (TOD) zone for the Tropico TOD Center, as part of the overall review of South Glendale Community Plan (SGCP) and adoption of the Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR). Although a lawsuit is still pending, challenging the SGCP and FEIR, nevertheless, staff has been charged with preparing the necessary zoning and objective design standards to implement the SGCP’s TOD zone, referred to as Tropico, and the original SB2 grant was amended to allow funding to be used towards completion of Tropico zoning.
Staff had originally planned to update the multi-family, mixed use and Tropico’s transit- oriented development zoning and design standards as part of Planning’s 2020-2021 work plan. Work on Tropico had already begun in late 2019 out of obligations regarding grants for the South Glendale Community Plan and Tropico TOD study area. It was intended that the multi-family and mixed-use standards would follow the substantial completion of the Tropico zoning standards. This sequencing of work is also due in part to the Tropico zoning establishing a framework and informing the development and refinement of other zoning standards.
Given that Crandall Arambula was already under contract for the West Glendale Sustainable Transportation and Land Use Study in evaluating land uses within the study area for their design standards and compatibility with a multi-modal corridor (PSA authorized by Council on October 1, 2019, for a total of $419,320), Council authorized an amendment with Crandall Arambula for an additional $155,000 to expand the scope of their work to include the citywide multi-family and mixed use standards, and to provide assistance with the Tropico zoning standards, using the awarded SB2 grant funds. The expanded scope with Crandall Arambula was identified as an opportunity for 14 of 129
44 b

efficiency while relying on their strong expertise in developing design and development standards.
On March 31, 2021, the contract was amended a second time to allow for a longer term through December 31, 2023 to account for the delays due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
This time extension amendment was consistent with the SB 2 Grant’s funding time extension by the State.
The proposed contract amendment for an additional $102,000 is requested to complete the multi-family, mixed-use and Tropico development standards. This work is consistent with the requirements and original work plan of the SB 2 Planning Grant Program and will have no impact to the General Fund.
ANALYSIS
The scope of work remains consistent with the expanded scope the Council authorized in April 2020, although the three projects (citywide multi-family design and development standards, mixed use objective design standards and Tropico transit-oriented design and development standards) have proven to be more time-consuming in their analysis and preparation, especially since the standards are to be more graphically oriented to be on a similar scope with the objective design standards of the Downtown Specific Plan.
Moreover, immediately following the recent amendments, the Planning Division suffered a loss of a large number of staff members, so Planning staff has not able to contribute as robustly to the project and relied more heavily on the consultant. As such, the contract amendment to increase the contract by $102,000 (from a current Not-to-Exceed amount of $574,320 to $676,320) is requested to complete the projects in a timely manner and deliver high quality products.
STAKEHOLDERS/OUTREACH
No outreach is conducted during this period of the contract change order. There will be public outreach during the code amendment process.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Amendment will cost $102,000, which was approved as a part of the FY 2021-22 budget. No new appropriation is being requested at this time. The City Council previously approved funding is outlined below:

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW (CEQA/NEPA)
The proposed contract amendment to increase is exempt under California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations (“CEQA Guidelines) because they are not projects under CEQA Guidelines Sections 15060(c)(3) 15 of 129

and 15378(b)(4) because they constitute governmental fiscal activities that do not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment. Furthermore, these actions are exempt from further environmental review under CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15262 because they involve only feasibility or planning studies for possible future actions which the City has not yet approved, adopted, or funded.
CAMPAIGN DISCLOSURE
The names and business addresses of the members of the board of directors, the chairperson, CEO, COO, CFO, Subcontractors and any person or entity with more than 10% interest in the company proposed for contract in this Agenda Item Report are attached in Exhibit 1, in accordance with the City Campaign Finance Ordinance No. 5744.
ALTERNATIVES
Alternative 1: Authorize the City Manager to execute an amendment to the Crandall Arambula PSA to complete the expansion of the scope of services and update the development standards for multi-family, mixed-use, and Tropico zones. This will ensure that these projects will be completed in a timely manner.
Alternative 2: Do not authorize the City Manager to execute the contract amendment to the PSA. Not approving the amendment will lengthen the process to update the development standards as staff will need to complete this study without the assistance and expertise of a qualified consultant.
Alternative 3: City Council may consider any other alternative not proposed by staff.

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA ITEM
Report: Dedication and Acceptance of City Property for Public Alley and Street Purposes into the City Street System
1. Resolutions dedicating a portion of Central Park for Public Street and Alley Purposes and accepting same into the City Street System
COUNCIL ACTION
Item Type: Consent Calendar
Approved for April 12, 2022 calendar
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
When streets and alleys are constructed or improved on City-owned properties, the City Council has to dedicate the properties for public street and alley purposes. State law also requires that public streets and alleys be accepted by City Council Resolution into the City Street System. Recently, Colorado Street was widened east of Alley 58/Parking Lot 10, and Alley 58/Parking Lot 10 was reconfigured north of Colorado Street over the City’s existing Central Park property.

COUNCIL PRIORITIES
Infrastructure & Mobility: The widening of this street and alley improves the street and alley infrastructure and provides for increased access throughout the City.
RECOMMENDATION
1. Approve the resolution dedicating a portion of Central Park for Public Street Purposes and Accepting the Same into the City Street System for Colorado Street.
2. Approve the resolution dedicating a portion of Central Park for Public Alley Purposes and Accepting the Same into the City Street System for Alley 58.
BACKGROUND
On December 10, 2013, the City Council and Successor Agency approved the Plans and Specifications for the Central Park Paseo/Parking Lot 10/Colorado Street Lane Addition Improvements Project.
This project included the reconstruction of Alley 58 and Parking Lot 10 into a cohesive two-way circulation system with ninety-degree parking stalls on the east and parallel parking on the west; and the construction of a dedicated right-turn lane on Colorado Street between Alley 58 and Brand Boulevard, for westbound traffic on Colorado Street to head northbound on Brand Boulevard.
ANALYSIS
To widen Colorado Street for a dedicated right-turn lane, a Property Transfer and Exchange Agreement (land swap) was completed between the City and the property owner of 252 S. Brand Boulevard (Property Owner). In the agreement, the City vacated and conveyed the westerly 14 feet of Alley 58 in exchange for the Property Owner dedicating 11' along Colorado Street to the City for public street purposes. The width of Alley 58 and Parking Lot 10 was decreased to 10 feet, and Parking Lot 10 improvements were constructed on City Property (Central Property) to accommodate the land swap.
Construction of the dedicated right-turn lane between Alley 58 and Brand Boulevard required the construction of a transition lane which widened Colorado Street from zero feet to 11 feet, easterly of Alley 58 on City Property (Central Park).
As part of the planning for the Armenian American Museum at Central Park, it was determined that the City Property at Central Park used for the widening of Colorado Street easterly of Alley 58, and the improvements for Alley 58 and Parking Lot 10 would be dedicated for public street and alley purposes.
STAKEHOLDERS/OUTREACH
Outreach efforts were conducted during the project design and approval of the Central Park Paseo/Parking Lot 10/Colorado Street Lane Addition Improvements Project. 28 of 129

COUNCIL PRIORITIES
Infrastructure & Mobility: The Maintenance District 6 Pavement Rehabilitation Phase I Project will improve the roadway infrastructure, sidewalks, curbs and gutters, and improve multiple modes of transportation in this residential neighborhood.
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the resolution adopting the Plans and Specifications for the Maintenance District 6 Pavement Rehabilitation Phase I Project, Specification No. 3876, Plan Nos. 1-3086, 3- 1582, 49-254; and direct the City Clerk to Advertise for Bids.
BACKGROUND
The Maintenance District 6 Pavement Rehabilitation Phase I Project is part of the City’s annual effort to rehabilitate roadway pavements in residential neighborhoods using various pavement treatment methods.
Slurry Seal and Central Mix Rubberized Emulsion Aggregate Slurry (REAS) low-cost roadway maintenance strategies, which prolong the service life of the pavement, prevent further deterioration, and extend the life of the existing pavement. They typically consist of cold mixed asphalt treatments that create a hard wearing surface. Pavement cracks are sealed prior to placement of these treatments to further prevent water intrusion. This method is used for sealing aged and cracked pavements and restoring skid resistance and wearing surfaces.
Asphalt Rubber Aggregate Membrane (ARAM) System I is another cost-efficient pavement treatment which prolongs the service life and further deterioration of the pavement, improves the ride characteristic of the roadway, and the reinforces the structural integrity of the pavement. It involves the rehabilitation of existing street pavement that has deteriorated beyond normal maintenance work and consists of the placement of Slurry Seal over a 3/8-inch ARAM surface. This method is used for sealing aged and cracked pavements and restoring skid resistance and wearing surfaces that are worn beyond slurry seal treatment methods.
Street resurfacing involves the rehabilitation of existing street pavement that has deteriorated beyond normal maintenance work. It typically consists of the removal of the top 2-inches of existing Asphalt Concrete (AC) pavement, followed by either the placement of 1.5-inches of Asphalt Rubber Hot Mix (ARHM) pavement wearing surface over a 0.5-inch to variable thickness AC leveling course; or the placement of 2-inches of ARHM pavement wearing surface. This method improves the ride of the roadway, the structural integrity of the pavement, and begins a new service life for the street.
ARAM System III involves the rehabilitation of existing street pavement that has deteriorated beyond normal street resurfacing methods. It typically consists of the removal of the top 2-inches of existing AC pavement, followed by the placement of 1.5- inches of ARHM pavement wearing surface, over a 3/8-inch ARAM surface. This method improves the ride of the roadway, the structural integrity of the pavement, and begins a new service life for the street.

Full Depth Reconstruction (FDR) involves the removal and replacement of the entire roadway pavement section and can also include the removal and replacement of the pavement base or subgrade. FDR is used in infrequent occasions and only where the pavement is damaged beyond a repairable condition, the existing roadway pavement thickness is not enough to structurally accommodate the existing traffic loads with the addition of an additional asphalt layer, or the roadway pavement base has failed and is in need for replacement prior to pavement resurfacing methods. This method improves the ride of the roadway, the structural integrity of the pavement, and begins a new service life for the street.

Sanitary sewer improvements as part of this project include repairs to the existing sewer infrastructures that are broken, damaged, and/or pose maintenance issues. The following sewer improvements will be performed as part of this project:
1. Point Repairs consists of the removal of the surface pavement, excavation to the depth below the existing sewer pipe, performing a temporary sewer bypass, replacing broken or damaged portion of sewer pipe with in-kind pipe size and material, trench backfill, and finally, trench resurfacing. This work is performed on the damaged portion of the sewer main line which cannot be repaired using trenchless methods.
2. Cured-in-Place-Pipe (CIPP) lining is a trenchless rehabilitation method and consists of installation of a resin liner that cures to create a hard structural finish inside a damaged pipe. CIPP lining can either be performed in short segments or on the entire sewer main between two manholes depending on the frequency of the existing cracks in the sewer main.
Tree Plantings
A total of 12 new street trees will be planted in vacant locations to infill the street canopy and expand the urban forest as part of this project on the following streets; 3 trees on Hillside Drive between Canada Boulevard and Branta Drive; 7 trees on Wabasso Way between Canada Boulevard and Bonita Drive; and, 2 trees on Camulos Avenue between Canada Drive and Bonita Drive.
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
The proposed project includes improvements that will comply with current Federal ADA guidelines.
ANALYSIS
To ensure competitive proposals, the City will advertise the Project on multiple plan holders’ web sites who publish requests for proposals for projects and distribute the information to their extensive network of consultant, contractor, and construction industry contacts.
The Project will also be advertised in a local newspaper, the Glendale Independent, prior to bid opening, as well as on eBidBoard, which is a web enabled data service to the public sector, for the dissemination of the building and construction project proposals to their large number of member contractors and consultants.
Finally, the project bidding documents will also be posted on the City’s website.
The construction of this project is anticipated to begin in September 2022 and is scheduled for completion by March 2023.

Furthermore, the proposed improvements to the corridor during the design phase consulted various master plans, programs, policies, and initiatives for recommendations and guidance, including, but not limited to the following:
Pavement Management Program
The streets in this part of Maintenance District 6 have been identified for pavement rehabilitation by various methods as part of the Pavement Management Program to preserve and extend the useful life of the roadway by optimizing available funds to meet the road network needs. When designing neighborhood-type rehabilitation projects, staff review the adjacent streets and connecting roadways and include them as part of the same project for rehabilitation to take advantage of the economies of scale that would otherwise garner a much higher bid if bid out separately, and also to mobilize and disturb the neighborhood in one fell swoop instead of multiple move-ins and smaller scale projects.
Citywide Pedestrian Plan
The streets in the scope of this project are not currently identified in the Citywide Pedestrian Plan, however to comply with the latest ADA requirements, 22 existing curb ramps will be modified or reconstructed.

Bicycle Transportation Plan
The Glendale Bicycle Transportation Plan (BTP) recommends bike route signage and shared roadway bicycle pavement marking (Sharrow) installation on the following project segments:
Opechee Way between Canada Drive and Hermosita Drive to add bike route directional signage with Sharrow pavement markings;
Opechee Way between Hermosita Drive and Bonita Drive to add bike route with “watch for cyclists” signs and directional signage;
Bonita Drive between Opechee Way and Hillside Drive to add bike route with “watch for cyclists” signs and directional signage;
Hillside Drive between Bonita Drive and Niodrara Drive to add bike route with “watch for cyclists” signs and directional signage; and, Niodrara Drive between Hillside Drive and Colina Drive to add bike route with “watch for cyclists” signs and directional signage.
Staff further analyzed the roadway to implement additional bicycle infrastructure improvements, and determined that the recommended Sharrow markings can be replaced with green shared roadway bicycle pavement markings (B-Type Sharrows).
The approval to use green colored pavement is in accordance with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), and National Association of City Transportation Officials (NACTO) guidelines. Colored pavement may be used to enhance the visibility of a shared lane markings and to further encourage desired lane positioning, and where bicyclists and other roadway traffic might have potentially conflicting weaving or crossing movements.
Finally, due to the current street classifications and limited right-of-way of the project street segments, additional improvements beyond the scope of the BTP were not recommended.
Green Streets Manual
Concrete pavement areas that could be removed and replaced with landscape areas and expanding of tree wells were identified, and every opportunity to expand the urban forest was implemented.
The engineer’s estimate for the construction of this project is between $3,500,000 and $3,800,000.
Funding for this project has been budgeted from the State Gas Tax Fund (4020), Sewer Fund (5250), and Measure S Fund (4011).
STAKEHOLDERS/OUTREACH
Approximately 1,800 notifications were sent to property owners and occupants along the project limits notifying them of the virtual community meeting on March 28, 2022 at 6:00 p.m. The virtual community meeting was broadcasted on the City’s YouTube channel. 42 of 129

During the meeting, the public was informed of the project details, construction schedule, future City and contractor notifications, and the impacts of the construction work in their neighborhood. Participants also had the opportunity to phone in and provide their comments and/or ask questions regarding the project.
Furthermore, outreach on this project continues to occur through a dedicated website for the project. The website page introduces the public to the project and to the project team, explains the scope of work and project locations, and provides the public with Staff contact information for questions, discussion and/or input.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this report.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Project is categorically exempt from environmental review because of CEQA Guidelines §§ 15301.
Moreover, as part of this project, approximately 7,065 recycled tires will be diverted from the landfills and used in the Asphalt Concrete pavement treatment. An additional 2,300 tires will be diverted from the landfill and used in the ARAM pavement treatment.
Furthermore, conventional AC is composed of aggregate and emulsified liquid asphalt.
The aggregate is allowed to contain up to 20 percent recycled AC, which extends the life of both landfills and quarries. Finally, as part of this project, up to 161 tons of asphalt concrete will be diverted from the landfills and used in the roadway structures.

COUNCIL PRIORITIES
Infrastructure & Mobility: The capital improvements throughout a portion of the Broadway corridor and adjacent streets will improve the roadway infrastructure, modernize the aging traffic signal infrastructure, and improve the use of several modes of transportation on this stretch of roadway.
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the resolution adopting the Plans and Specifications for the Broadway Rehabilitation Project, Specification No. 3785, Plan Nos. 1-3057, 49-242, 50-691, 50-692, 50-693; and direct the City Clerk to Advertise for Bids.
BACKGROUND
Street resurfacing involves the rehabilitation of existing street pavement that has deteriorated beyond normal maintenance work. It typically consists of the removal of the top 2-inches of existing Asphalt Concrete (AC) pavement, followed by either the placement of 1.5-inches of Asphalt Rubber Hot Mix (ARHM) pavement wearing surface over a 0.5-inch to variable thickness AC leveling course; or the placement of 2-inches of ARHM pavement wearing surface. This method of street resurfacing improves the ride of the roadway, the structural integrity of the pavement, and begins a new service life for the street.
Broadway between San Fernando Road and Central Avenue is an approximate 0.8-mile- long corridor. Between San Fernando Road and Columbus Avenue, the roadway right- of-way allows for two travel lanes and an on-street parking lane in each direction. Between Columbus Avenue and Central Avenue, the roadway right-of-way allows for two travel lanes in each direction with a center two-way left-turn lane. The roadway right-of-way on Kenilworth Avenue and Columbus Avenue allows for one travel lane and an on-street parking lane in each direction.
There are signalized intersections at Broadway at San Fernando Road, Pacific Avenue, Columbus Avenue, Galleria Way, and Central Avenue. The existing signals at Broadway and Pacific Avenue and at San Fernando Road were upgraded with recently completed capital improvement projects.
Land uses along the project consist of a mix of retail and industrial/office use, with some residential. Most retail use include dedicated off‐street parking.
Broadway runs parallel to the Glendale 134 Freeway. The speed limit on Broadway is posted at 35 mph. The speed limits on Kenilworth Avenue and Columbus Avenue are posted at 25 mph. Glendale Galleria, Fire Station No. 21, Thomas Edison Elementary School, and Pacific Community Center and Park are major destinations adjacent to the project.
Project Location
The following capital improvements will be implemented as part of the project:

Pavement Rehabilitation
Pavement Rehabilitation consists of the removal and replacement of the top two inches of roadway pavement using ARHM.
ARHM is composed of conventional asphalt concrete mixed with recycled tire rubber material. ARHM provides a longer service life than conventional asphalt concrete. It also provides a smoother and quieter ride while reducing the amount of scrap rubber tires buried in landfills.
ARAM is another structural pavement layer used in the pavement rehabilitation of this project. It is composed of asphalt emulsion and coarse aggregate coated with asphalt emulsion, where the asphalt emulsion is rubberized with recycled tire rubber material.
ARAM provides an extended service life to the existing asphalt concrete pavement by filling the pavement cracks with the flexible rubberized emulsion. ARAM is typically covered with either slurry seal or ARHM.
Conventional AC is also used for localized full depth pavement removal and replacement where required and will be used at localized areas that require the full pavement section to be repaired before the final asphalt wearing surface is installed.
Traffic Signal and Traffic Improvements
Street intersections are potential points of conflict in any roadway system. Motorized and non-motorized users are crossing paths as they travel through or turn from one route to another. Therefore, a major part of road safety challenges involves addressing intersections. Intersections can also become congested when traffic volumes are high, creating inefficiencies that result in user delay and frustration.
One of the purposes of this project is to enhance traffic flow, reduce delays and improve vehicular access on Broadway. The traffic signal system along this corridor is outdated and does not have the appropriate detection equipment needed to allow for signal timing and operational adjustments for changes in traffic conditions.
The project will involve upgrading traffic signals to improve traffic progression and enhance traffic safety at three intersections along Broadway. All signal modifications will be designed based on the latest California Department of Transportation standards.
Furthermore, all three intersections will be outfitted with the latest fiber optic hardware and equipment to make them capable of connecting to the newly constructed Traffic Management Center.
Additional traffic improvements as part of this project involve the removal and replacement of existing traffic striping and pavements markings.
Tree Plantings
A total of 19 new street trees will be planted in vacant locations to infill the street canopy and expand the urban forest as part of this project on the following streets:

12 trees on Broadway between San Fernando Road and Central Avenue; and, 7 trees on Kenilworth Avenue between Broadway and Wilson Avenue.
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
The proposed project includes improvements that will comply with current Federal ADA guidelines.
ANALYSIS
To ensure competitive proposals, the City will advertise the Project on multiple plan holders’ web sites who publish requests for proposals for projects and distribute the information to their extensive network of consultant, contractor, and construction industry contacts.
The Project will also be advertised in a local newspaper, the Glendale Independent, prior to bid opening, as well as on eBidboard, which is a web enabled data service to the public sector, for the dissemination of the building and construction project proposals to their large number of member contractors and consultants.
Finally, the project bidding documents will also be posted on the City’s website.
The construction of this project is anticipated to begin in August 2022, with major concrete and pavement improvements scheduled for completion by November 2022 and before the Holiday Moratorium period, and the remaining traffic and adjacent street capital improvements scheduled for completion by February 2023.

Furthermore, the proposed improvements to the corridor consulted various master plans, programs, policies, and initiatives for recommendations and guidance, including, but not limited to the following:
Pavement Management Program
The corridor and adjacent side streets have been identified for replacement by the use of pavement overlay methods as part of the Pavement Management Program to preserve and extend the useful life of the roadway by optimizing available funds to meet the road network needs.
Citywide Pedestrian Plan
The corridor and adjacent streets are not currently identified in the Citywide Pedestrian Plan, however, the project was studied further and will implement various pedestrian safety improvements at signalized intersections, such as high-visibility crosswalk installations and creative crosswalk installations. The project will also comply with the latest ADA requirements; 22 existing curb ramps will be modified or reconstructed.
Bicycle Transportation Plan
Broadway between San Fernando Road and Central Avenue is an existing bike route with bike route signage and shared roadway pavement markings (Sharrows). The Glendale Bicycle Transportation Plan (BTP) does not recommend the installation of any new bicycle infrastructure on any of the streets as part of this project. However, staff analyzed the roadway to implement additional bicycle infrastructure improvements, and determined that existing Sharrow markings can be replaced with green shared roadway bicycle pavement markings (B-Type Sharrows).
The approval to use green colored pavement is in accordance with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), and National Association of City Transportation Officials (NACTO) guidelines. Colored pavement may be used to enhance the visibility of a shared lane markings and to further encourage desired lane positioning, and where bicyclists and other roadway traffic might have potentially conflicting weaving or crossing movements.
Finally, due to the high volume of traffic and limited right-of-way on Broadway, additional improvements beyond the scope of the BTP were not recommended.
Green Streets Manual
Various green streets elements, such as bio-retention facilities were studied and will be implemented to capture and recharge the groundwater table. Concrete pavement areas that could be removed and replaced with landscape areas and expanding of tree wells were identified, and every opportunity to expand the urban forest was implemented. 52 of 129

Reflective pavement was also considered and implemented to further reduce the heat island effect.
Safe Routes to School Program
Thomas Edison Elementary School and Pacific Park are located adjacent to Kenilworth Avenue between Riverdale Drive and Vine Street. To ensure safe walking paths to school and park, crosswalk improvements will be implemented as part of the project.
The engineer’s estimate for the construction of this project is between $3,000,000 and $3,300,000.
Funding for this project has been budgeted from the State Gas Tax Fund (4020), Water Depreciation Fund (5930), Measure R Sub-Regional Fund (2550), and Measure S Fund (4011).
STAKEHOLDERS/OUTREACH
The multi-modal benefits to the community include the following:
More livable communities;
Improved safety for all users;
More walking and bicycling to improve public health;
Increased transportation choices;
Enhanced traffic flow along surface streets in the vicinity of the subject intersections;
Reduced traffic delays, improved travel time, and consequently reduced fuel consumption and vehicle emissions; and,
Greenhouse gas reduction and improved air quality.
The Public Works Department reached out to Metro to obtain Measure R funding to help fund portions of the project design and construction. Measure R is a half-cent sales tax for Los Angeles County that finances new transportation projects and programs. In November 2008, Measure R was approved by two-thirds majority, committing a projected $40 billion to traffic relief and transportation upgrades throughout the County over its 30- year life span. The City’s share of Measure R funds for Highway Operational Improvements is approximately $98.5 million dollars.
The Traffic Signal Modifications as part of the Broadway Rehabilitation Project are included in Los Angeles County Metro Board’s approved project list in the amount of $1,650,000. Staff has executed a Funding Agreement (FA) with Metro for this project under FA Number 9200000000MR310.61.
Moreover, approximately 4,150 notifications were sent to property owners and occupants along the project limits notifying them of the virtual community meeting on January 26, 2022 at 6:00 p.m. The virtual community meeting was broadcasted on the City’s YouTube channel. During the meeting, the public was informed of the project details, construction schedule, future City and contractor notifications, and the impacts of the construction work 53 of 129

in their neighborhood. Participants also had the opportunity to phone in and provide their comments and/or ask questions regarding the project.
Furthermore, outreach on this project continues to occur through a dedicated website for the project. The website page introduces the public to the project and to the project team, explains the scope of work and project locations, and provides the public with staff contact information for questions, discussion and/or input.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this report.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Project is categorically exempt from environmental review because of CEQA Guidelines §§ 15301.
Moreover, as part of this project, approximately 7,600 recycled tires will be diverted from the landfills and used in the Asphalt Concrete pavement treatment. An additional 580 tires will be diverted from the landfill and used in the ARAM pavement treatment. Furthermore, conventional AC is composed of aggregate and emulsified liquid asphalt. The aggregate is allowed to contain up to 20 percent recycled AC, which extends the life of both landfills and quarries. Finally, as part of this project, up to 100 tons of asphalt concrete will be diverted from the landfills and used in the roadway structures.

COUNCIL PRIORITIES
Informed & Engaged Community: The Specialized Equipment Use Policy provides the public with information about the funding, acquisition, and use of specialized equipment by the Police Department.
Safe & Healthy Community: The equipment and items discussed in this report enhance the safety of the public and officers. This equipment may be used to assist the Police Department in de-escalating intense situations or bringing volatile conditions and critical incidents to a safe resolution.
RECOMMENDATION
Introduce the proposed urgency ordinance approving the Glendale Police Department’s Specialized Equipment Use Policy.
BACKGROUND
On September 30, 2021, the Governor approved AB 481. This bill became effective on January 1, 2022, and adds Government Code sections 7070 through 7075 regarding the funding, acquisition, and use of “military equipment," as defined, by law enforcement agencies. The equipment identified as “military equipment” in AB 481 is referred to as “Specialized Equipment” in this report and in the policy, as many of the items are not necessarily used by the military. AB 481 requires a law enforcement agency to obtain the approval of its governing body, through the adoption of a policy, by ordinance at a regular meeting held pursuant to the Brown Act, before taking certain actions relating to the funding, acquisition, or use of such equipment. The new law also allows the City Council to approve the funding, acquisition, or use of specialized equipment within its jurisdiction only if it determines that the equipment meets specified standards.
ANALYSIS
AB 481 defines “military equipment” as:
(1) Unmanned, remotely piloted, powered aerial or ground vehicles. (2) Mine-resistant ambush-protected (MRAP) vehicles or armored personnel carriers. However, police versions of standard consumer vehicles are specifically excluded from this subdivision.
(3) High mobility multipurpose wheeled vehicles (HMMWV), commonly referred to as Humvees, two and one-half-ton trucks, five-ton trucks, or wheeled vehicles that have a breaching or entry apparatus attached.
However, unarmored all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) and motorized dirt bikes are specifically excluded from this subdivision.
(4) Tracked armored vehicles that provide ballistic protection to their occupants and utilize a tracked system instead of wheels for forward motion.
(5) Command and control vehicles that are either built or modified to facilitate the operational control and direction of public safety units. (6) Weaponized aircraft, vessels, or vehicles of any kind. 58 of 129

3 2
1 3
(7) Battering rams, slugs, and breaching apparatuses that are explosive in nature. However, items designed to remove a lock, such as bolt cutters, or a handheld ram designed to be operated by one person, are specifically excluded from this subdivision.
(8) Firearms of .50 caliber or greater. However, standard-issue shotguns are specifically excluded from this subdivision.
(9) Ammunition of .50 caliber or greater. However, standard-issue shotgun ammunition is specifically excluded from this subdivision. (10) Specialized firearms and ammunition of less than .50 caliber, including assault weapons as defined in Sections 30510 and 30515 of the Penal Code, with the exception of standard-issue service weapons and ammunition of less than .50 caliber that are issued to officers, agents, or employees of a law enforcement agency or a state agency. (11) Any firearm or firearm accessory that is designed to launch explosive projectiles.
(12) “Flashbang” grenades and explosive breaching tools, “tear gas,” and “pepper balls,” excluding standard, service-issued handheld pepper spray. (13) Taser Shockwave, microwave weapons, water cannons, and the Long Range Acoustic Device (LRAD).
(14) The following projectile launch platforms and their associated munitions: 40mm projectile launchers, “bean bag,” rubber bullet, and specialty impact munition (SIM) weapons.
(15) Any other equipment as determined by a governing body or a state agency to require additional oversight.
The items included in the statutory definition are not necessarily items used by the military. In fact, some items are standard issue equipment for police officers. Thus, the equipment listed in AB 481 is referred to in this report and in the Police Department’s policy as “Specialized Equipment.”
Under AB 481, law enforcement agencies must obtain approval from their governing bodies, by an ordinance adopting an equipment use policy for the above-listed items, prior to:
Requesting military equipment made available pursuant to Section 2576a of Title 10 of the United States Code.
This provision deals with transferring defense property to federal and state agencies for law enforcement activities. For over ten years, the Glendale Police Department has not acquired property from the Defense Department under the 1033 Program.
Seeking funds for military equipment, including, but not limited to, applying for a grant, soliciting or accepting private, local, state, or federal funds, in- kind donations, or other donations or transfers.
59 of 129

Acquiring military equipment either permanently or temporarily, including by borrowing or leasing.
Collaborating with another law enforcement agency in the deployment or other use of military equipment within the territorial jurisdiction of the governing body.
Using any new or existing military equipment for a purpose, in a manner, or by a person not previously approved by the governing body pursuant to this chapter.
Soliciting or responding to a proposal for, or entering into an agreement with, any other person or entity to seek funds for, apply to receive, acquire, use, or collaborate in the use of, military equipment.
Acquiring military equipment through any means not provided set forth above.
Attached as “Exhibit A” is the Glendale Police Department’s Specialized Equipment Use Policy. The Specialized Equipment Use Policy includes an equipment inventory. The Police Department uses the noted equipment to keep the City of Glendale, its residents, businesses, and visitors safe. Additionally, the specialized equipment is integral to assisting incident commanders in bringing dynamic and unpredictable incidents to a safe resolution. The inventory includes less than lethal options that are standard issue equipment for police officers. Department staff train all personnel to properly use and handle specialized equipment issued.
The policy complies with AB 481 in that it includes the following required provisions:
(1) A description of each type of military equipment, the quantity sought, its capabilities, expected lifespan, and product descriptions from the manufacturer of the military equipment.
(2) The purposes and authorized uses for which the law enforcement agency proposes to use each type of military equipment. (3) The fiscal impact of each type of military equipment, including the initial costs of obtaining the equipment and estimated annual costs of maintaining the equipment.
(4) The legal and procedural rules that govern each authorized use. (5) The training, including any course required by the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training, that must be completed before any officer is allowed to use each specific type of military equipment to ensure the 60 of 129
58 a
3 2
1 3
complete protection of the public's welfare, safety, civil rights, and civil liberties and complete adherence to the military equipment use policy. (6) The mechanisms to ensure compliance with the military equipment use policy, including which independent persons or entities have oversight authority and, if applicable, what legally enforceable sanctions are put in place for violations of the policy.
(7) The procedures by which members of the public may register complaints or concerns or submit questions about the use of each specific type of military equipment, and how the law enforcement agency will ensure that each complaint, concern, or question receives a response in a timely manner.
Under AB 481, the City Council may approve the funding, acquisition, or use of the Glendale Police Department’s specialized equipment only if it determines all of the following:
(A) The specialized equipment is necessary because there is no reasonable alternative that can achieve the same objective of officer and civilian safety. (B) The proposed Specialized Equipment Use Policy will safeguard the public's welfare, safety, civil rights, and civil liberties. (C) If purchasing the equipment, the equipment is reasonably cost-effective compared to available alternatives that can achieve the same objective of officer and civilian safety.
(D) Prior equipment use complied with the specialized equipment use policy that was in effect at the time, or if prior uses did not comply with the accompanying specialized equipment use policy, corrective action has been taken to remedy nonconforming uses and ensure future compliance. (Government Code section 7071 (d)(1))
Staff believes the Specialized Equipment Use Policy and the equipment listed in the inventory satisfy the above standards.
It should be noted that the Specialized Equipment Use Policy includes a provision regarding outside law enforcement agencies. This provision requires law enforcement agencies that provide mutual aid to the City of Glendale to comply with their respective military use policies when providing such assistance.
In addition, the Specialized Equipment Use Policy expressly provides that the Police Department intends to maintain the equipment supply levels noted. The policy authorizes the Chief of Police to provide police officers with standard-issue specialized equipment and to acquire and maintain the appropriate inventory for expendable specialized 61 of 129
68 a
3 2
1 3
equipment in accordance with the City’s Purchasing Policy. Moreover, the policy allows the Police Department to order, replenish, replace, and/or renew its inventory. The Police Department intends to replace a portion of its rifles upon approval of the policy. Absent exigent circumstances, the Police Department will obtain City Council approval to acquire specialized equipment not listed in the inventory.
The Police Department is not seeking to purchase any new equipment with this report.
Purchase of the items currently in possession of the Police Department have been approved during the annual budget process and comply with the City's Purchasing Policy.
If the proposed urgency Ordinance regarding the Specialized Equipment Use Policy is adopted, it will be subject to annual City Council review to determine whether the standards set forth above have been met based on a yearly Specialized Equipment report.
AB 481 requires publication of the Specialized Equipment Use Policy and the inventory list on the Police Department’s website at least 30 days prior to any public hearing concerning the equipment at issue. The Police Department posted the policy on March 11, 2022, thus complying with the posting requirement.
Staff recommends that the proposed ordinance be introduced and adopted as an urgency measure in light of the language in AB 481 that requires the governing body approval process to commence by May 1, 2022.
STAKEHOLDERS/OUTREACH
The Police Department conducted a meeting with the Glendale Police Chief’s Advisory Panel on March 9, 2022, to discuss the Specialized Equipment Use Policy.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this report. Future costs to restock inventory and maintain equipment will be planned for during the Police Department’s annual budget process.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW (CEQA/NEPA)
The ordinance is not a project within the meaning of section 15378 of the California Environment Quality Act ("CEQA") Guidelines because it has no potential to result in a physical change in the environment, directly or indirectly. (Cal. Code of Reg. 15378(b)(5)) This ordinance is also exempt under CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the ordinance may have a significant effect on the environment.

SECTION 4. The Police Department shall submit an annual report regarding the use of specialized equipment to the City Council, containing the information required in Government Code section 7072, and the City Council shall determine whether each type of equipment identified in the report has complied with the standards for approval set forth in Section 3 A) through D) of this Ordinance.
SECTION 5. Severability.
This Ordinance’s provisions are severable. If any portion of this Ordinance or its application to any person or circumstance is held invalid or unconstitutional, that decision does not affect the validity of the Ordinance’s remaining portions and the Ordinance’s application to other persons and circumstances. The City Council declares that it would have passed the remainder of this Ordinance without the invalid or unconstitutional provision.
SECTION 6. Urgency Finding. The City Council declares this Ordinance to be an urgency measure to take effect immediately upon its adoption pursuant to Article VI, section 7 of the City of Glendale Charter.
AB 481 became effective on January 1, 2022 and requires a law enforcement agency to obtain approval from its governing body of a military equipment use policy by ordinance prior to the agency funding, acquiring, or using military equipment. Specifically, AB 481 states: “No later than May 1, 2022, a law enforcement agency seeking to continue the use of any military equipment that was acquired prior to January 1, 2022, shall commence a governing body approval process in accordance with this section.” (Government Code section 7071(a)(2))
The Glendale Police Department has been working diligently to prepare the required policy and inventory of specialized equipment. Given the extensive requirements for the policy and inventory as well as the notice requirements, the matter could not be brought to the City Council in time to accommodate an ordinance taking effect in 30 days.
It is in the City’s and the public’s best interest to ensure compliance with AB 481 as any delay would prevent the Glendale Police Department from adequately protecting the public 67 of 129

and maintaining community safety. Adopting this Ordinance to take effect immediately will ensure that the City and its Police Department are equipped to preserve the public peace, health, safety and welfare of this community.

COUNCIL PRIORITIES
Arts & Culture: The proposed monument would enhance the community’s diverse cultural values and heritage.
RECOMMENDATION
That City Council consider the adoption of a Motion to approve the acceptance and installation of the proposed monument in recognition of the Armenian Genocide by the Consulate General of Armenia, to be located in front of the Central Library at 222 E.
Harvard Street.
BACKGROUND
On March 1, 2022, the City Council approved a Public Monument and Memorial Bench Plaque Policy (adopted by Resolution, No. 22-30), which establishes the criteria and process for the placement of Public Monuments and Memorial Bench Plaques sponsored by individuals and/or groups (whether they are private parties, non-profit organizations, or others) on City property.
Proposed Monument
The Consulate General of Armenia in Los Angeles reached out to the City Manager’s Office with a request to donate a monument in recognition of the Armenian Genocide to the City of Glendale. The proposed monument is a stone sculpture of the Forget-Me-Not flower, which has become the symbol of the memory of the 1.5 million victims of the Armenian Genocide perpetrated by the Ottoman government. Renderings of the proposed monument are included as Exhibit 1 of this report.
The monument will be produced by Stone Service, a company in Armenia that creates monuments. The Consul General would like to have this monument erected in the United States to strengthen Armenian-American relations, and to have a memorial for Armenian Genocide victims.
This would be the second monument of its kind, the first of which was created and erected in Petah Tikva, Israel. The Armenian community of Israel entrusted Stone Service with the creation of this monument for the 105th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. The municipality of Petah Tikva provided a space in a community park in their city, and the monument was erected in January 2020. Two photos of the monument in Petah Tikva, one taken during the day, and one at night, is included as Exhibit 2 of this report.
The Consulate has left the ultimate recommendation of a proposed location to staff, but asked that the location be a prominent space that is visible to passerby and not deep in a park. Staff is recommending that the statue be placed along Harvard Street, west of the main entrance of the Glendale Central Library, at the terminus of Artsakh Avenue. A map of the proposed location is included as Exhibit 3. Placing the monument at this location will require the removal of existing concrete, as well as the relocation of six bicycle racks in front of the library.

The base of the monument would be 8.5 ft. wide, with the flower portion of the monument being 5.9 ft. wide and 5.9 ft. tall. The overall footprint of the monument, including the planter that would go around the monument, would be a circle with a 14.4 ft. wide diameter. Exhibit 4 shows the scale of the monument, as proposed. It should be noted that the size of the statue can be scaled/modified to fit the space, but is appropriate in size as proposed.
ANALYSIS
The proposed monument is consistent with the City’s Public Monument Policy in that it has an identifiable connection to the cultural makeup of the City. Glendale is home to the largest diaspora of Armenians per capita. Having a monument dedicated to the memory of the victims of the Armenian Genocide of 1915 would help educate the community and the public on the history of the Armenian-American people, and empower individuals to embrace cultural diversity and speak out against prejudice and injustice.
Furthermore, this monument meets the City’s Public Monument criteria and requirements in the following manner:
1. Appropriateness: The monument is sensitive to social, historical, and other relevant contexts, and is suitable for all ages.
2. Compatibility: The scale and design of the monument is compatible with the location in front of the Glendale Central Library, which houses the ReflectSpace Gallery, an exhibition space designed to explore and reflect on genocides, human and civil rights violations. Furthermore, it is adjacent to Artsakh Avenue, which was renamed a few years ago in recognition of the thriving Armenian- American community in the City of Glendale.
3. Impact on Use of Public Space: The location of the monument is set back from the sidewalk and will not negatively impact the existing right-of-way. It may become a gathering point for the community on April 24, which is Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day.
4. Aesthetics: The monument will be constructed of stone, with a height and width of appropriate scale for the proposed location. The high-quality stone construction of the monument will ensure a durable and long-lasting tribute to the victims of the Armenian Genocide.
5. Maintenance and Insurance: The requestor will enter into a written agreement with the City and will meet the requirements as outlined in the policy.
6. Safety: The design of the monument has no overhangs, projections, or parts that may become loose, and thus, presents no obvious safety hazards to the public. 108 of 129

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA ITEM
Report: Request for Proposals for the Design and Build of the Removal of the Underground Storage Tanks at Ginger Bremberg Integrated Waste Management Yard Project
1) Resolution authorizing the Director of Public Works, or a designee, to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) using the Design-Build Project Delivery Method for the Removal of Underground Storage Tanks at Ginger Bremberg Integrated Waste Management Yard Project, and authorizing the Director of Public Works to solicit for proposals
COUNCIL ACTION
Item Type: Consent Calendar
Approved for April 12, 2022 Calendar
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Ginger Bremberg Integrated Waste Management Yard has Underground Storage Tanks (UST) that previously stored fuel for the diesel fueling station for the city’s trash trucks. The project will include the removal of three USTs, two diesel dispensers and one hydraulic fluid tank, fuel island, canopy, and the TLS-350 Veeder Root tank monitoring system. This equipment is no longer needed since Public Works Department retired the last of its diesel-fueled refuse trucks in 2018. All have been replaced with cleaner State- mandated, compressed natural gas (CNG) trucks. CNG trucks produce 95% fewer tailpipe emissions and 20% - 30% fewer emissions overall than their petroleum counterparts.

RESOLUTION NO. __________
A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, CALIFORNIA
AUTHORIZING THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS, OR A DESIGNEE, TO ISSUE A
REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS USING THE DESIGN-BUILD PROJECT DELIVERY
METHOD FOR THE REMOVAL OF THE UNDERGROUND STORAGE TANKS AT
GINGER BREMBERG INTEGRATED WASTE MANAGEMENT YARD PROJECT, AND
AUTHORIZING THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS TO SOLICIT PROPOSALS WHEREAS,the Director of Public Works has proposed the removals of underground storage tanks and other fueling infrastructure at the Ginger Bremberg Integrated Waste Management Yard (“Project”) using Design-Build, an alternate project delivery method authorized under Chapter 4.13 of the Glendale Municipal Code (“GMC”); and
WHEREAS, on March 17, 2022, the Director of Public Works presented a memorandum to the City Manager, as required by GMC Section 14.13.070(A)(1), describing the Project’s attributes and stating the reasons and justifications for proposing the Design-Build method of project delivery; and
WHEREAS,the memorandum, which is attached as an exhibit to the April 12, 2022 Report to the City Council, states that:
1.As required by GMC Section 4.13.070, the Project is being proposed for the following reason(s) and justification(s):
a.The Project has a high level of complexity. The removal of all underground storage tanks is permitted and inspected by City’s Building and Safety Department. Most commonly, the Contractors that specialize in this field are the leading expert on design and construction.
b.The Project requires expertise that City staff does not have. The removal of Underground Storage Tanks project is suited for a design-build due to the engineering expertise required. This procurement will be seeking assistance from one of the major companies in the Southern California that specialize in removal and remediation of any contamination and installation, removal and upgrade of storage tanks and their associated fueling systems. c.The Project has a scope of work and technical requirements that are difficult to define. Due to Staff not having the expertise in this very specific field as well as access to topographic survey and soil sampling, it is difficult to prepare the Technical Specifications.
d.The Project benefits from early contractor involvement. By having the Contractor involved in the design phase of the project, we can eliminate possible change order costs that are typical of a concealed scope construction project.
122 of 129

e.The Project calls for a high level of risk management or risk elimination. It is essential that the removal and the preparation of trench shoring for 8-foot cylindrical Underground Storage Tanks, is properly completed to insure the safety of the Contractor, Staff, and environmental impact. The Contractor’s responsibility includes soil and groundwater testing, hazardous waste characterization and removal, soil remediation, including soil vapor extraction. f.The Project has complex phasing. The site will require the removal and repairs to be sequences as to maintain accessibility of the facility.
2.Justification for the Alternative Project Delivery Method [GMC Section
4.13.060(B)]:
Design-Build achieves or improves:
a. The Project’s schedule by:
i. Minimizing the project delivery time. The Design-Build delivery method is typical for removal of Underground Storage Tanks due to the coordination of design, procurement, installation, and inspections it is expected that the overall project schedule will be accelerated to the maximum extent possible.
b. The Project’s cost by:
i. Minimizing its cost;
ii. Maximizing its budget; and
iii. Completing it within budget. Using the Design-Build method on this Project will enable constant communication and coordination between the Project designer and the builder (the designer and builder will likely be the same company), thereby reducing design errors and constructions mistakes, which in turn, ultimately shortens the construction period, reduces change orders, and lowers the Project’s costs. This Project will benefit from additional cost savings, realized through Design-Build, because of early coordination of the construction means, methods, and materials. c. The Projects quality by:
i. Providing a high quality design and construction that best addresses the complexity of the project; providing a design and construction that minimizes or eliminates project risk borne by City; and providing the most highly qualified organization to perform the work. The Design- Build method will insure that the Contractor complete the Project in a manner that is designed and approved by Building and Safety Department prior to construction.
WHEREAS, the City Manager, as required by GMC Section 4.13.070(A)(2), reviewed the Project and, on March 22, 2022, approved the use of Design-Build; and 123 of 129
5 5
5 1
WHEREAS, having received the City Manager’s approval and having satisfied one or more reasons under GMC Section 4.13.060(A), and one or more justifications under GMC Section 4.13.060(B), the Project meets the procedural and substantive requirements for using an alternative project delivery method.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE:
Section 1. The foregoing facts are deemed to be true and correct, and are a basis for authorizing the use of the Design-Build delivery method on this Project Section 2. The Director of Public Works is hereby directed to advertise for proposals for the project’s design, work, equipment, and materials.
Section 3. The Director of Public Works is directed to return to the Council for the Council’s award of a contract.
