This bill would provide that it is the intent of the Legislature to enact subsequent legislation that would establish the California Wildfire Resilience Program, developed and administered by the California Alternative Energy and Advanced Transportation Financing Authority, that would consist of a loan loss reserve and interest rate buy-down program designed to increase access to, and affordability of, defensible space and home hardening modifications, as provided. (Based on 01/15/2026 text) Location: 01/15/2026 - Senate Rules Energy and Utilities SB 222 (Wiener) Residential heat pump systems: water heaters and HVAC: installations. (Amended 01/15/2026) Existing law establishes the State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission and prescribes the authorities, duties, and responsibilities of the commission pertaining to energy matters. Existing law requires the commission, on or before January 1, 2019, in consultation with the Contractors State License Board, local building officials, and other stakeholders, to approve a plan that promotes compliance with specified regulations relating to building energy efficiency standards in the installation of central air-conditioning and heat pumps, as specified. Existing law authorizes the commission to adopt regulations to increase compliance with permitting and inspection requirements for central air-conditioning and heat pumps, and associated sales and installations, consistent with the above-described plan. The bill would require a city, county, or city and county, beginning July 1, 2027, to adopt and offer asynchronous inspections for installations of residential heat pump water heater or heat pump HVAC systems, as defined, that do not require a licensed contractor and building inspector to 13 of 72

1127 11TH STREET, SUITE 300, SACRAMENTO, CA 95814 • 916.974.9270 • PUBLICPOLICYGROUP.COM PAGE 2 be simultaneously present during the inspection. The bill would authorize a building inspector to contact the licensed contractor who performed the installation by telephone call or real-time video conferencing during their inspection, and, if the building inspector determines during an asynchronous inspection that there is an issue with an installation of the heat pump water heater or heat pump HVAC system and that the licensed contractor who performed the installation must be present to perform tests or cure the installation, to require the licensed contractor who performed the installation to schedule an additional inspection in which the building inspector and the licensed contractor who performed the installation are required to be simultaneously present during the additional inspection. The bill would specify that these provisions do not require a local entity described above to discontinue offering inspections for the installation of a residential heat pump water heater or heat pump HVAC system where in a building inspector and licensed contractor who performed the installation are simultaneously present. This bill contains other related provisions and other existing laws. (Based on 01/15/2026 text) Location: 01/26/2026 - Assembly Desk SB 924 (Hurtado) Low-income energy assistance. (Introduced 01/28/2026) Existing law vests the Public Utilities Commission with regulatory authority over public utilities, including electrical corporations and gas corporations. Existing law requires the commission to require electrical corporations and gas corporations to perform home weatherization services, as described, for low-income customers if the commission determines that a significant need for those services exists in the corporation’s service territory, taking into consideration both the cost-effectiveness of the services and the policy of reducing the hardships facing low-income households, as specified. This bill would require the commission to require electrical corporations and gas corporations, in performing home weatherization services, to prioritize household affordability, integration of electrification and health and safety measures, and coordinated delivery across fuel types and housing conditions, while preserving flexibility in program design. This bill contains other related provisions and other existing laws. (Based on 01/28/2026 text) Location: 02/11/2026 - Senate Energy, Utilities And Communications Environment and Climate AB 35 (Alvarez) Safe Drinking Water, Wildfire Prevention, Drought Preparedness, and Clean Air Bond Act of 2024: Administrative Procedure Act: exemption: program guidelines and selection criteria. (Amended 01/14/2026) Existing law, the Administrative Procedure Act, sets forth the requirements for the adoption, publication, review, and implementation of regulations by state agencies. The Safe Drinking Water, Wildfire Prevention, Drought Preparedness, and Clean Air Bond Act of 2024 (act), approved by the voters as Proposition 4 at the November 5, 2024, statewide general election, authorized the issuance of bonds in the amount of $10,000,000,000 pursuant to the State General Obligation Bond Law to finance projects for safe drinking water, drought, flood, and water resilience, wildfire and forest resilience, coastal resilience, extreme heat mitigation, 14 of 72

Existing law authorizes certain regulations needed to effectuate or implement programs of the act to be adopted as emergency regulations in accordance with the Administrative Procedure Act, as provided. Existing law requires the emergency regulations to be filed with the Office of Administrative Law and requires the emergency regulations to remain in effect until repealed or amended by the adopting state agency. This bill, notwithstanding the above, would exempt the adoption of regulations needed to effectuate or implement programs of the act from the requirements of the Administrative Procedure Act, as provided. The bill would require a state entity that receives funding to administer a competitive grant program established using the Administrative Procedure Act exemption to do certain things, including develop draft project solicitation and evaluation guidelines and to submit those guidelines to the Secretary of the Natural Resources Agency, except as provided. The bill would require the Secretary of the Natural Resources Agency to post an electronic form of the guidelines submitted by a state entity and the subsequent verifications on the Natural Resources Agency’s internet website. The bill would authorize the use of certain previously developed program guidelines and selection criteria for these purposes, as provided. This bill contains other related provisions and other existing laws. (Based on 01/14/2026 text) Location: 01/27/2026 - Senate Rules Governmental Operations AB 1383 (McKinnor) Public employees’ retirement benefits: safety members. (Amended 01/22/2026) The Public Employees’ Retirement Law (PERL) establishes the Public Employees’ Retirement System (PERS) to provide a defined benefit to members of the system based on final compensation, credited service, and age at retirement, subject to certain variations. Existing law creates the Public Employees’ Retirement Fund, which is continuously appropriated for purposes of PERS, including depositing employer and employee contributions. Under the California Constitution, assets of a public pension or retirement system are trust funds. The California Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act of 2013 (PEPRA) establishes a variety of requirements and restrictions on public employers offering defined benefit pension plans. In this regard, PEPRA restricts the amount of compensation that may be applied for purposes of calculating a defined pension benefit for a new member, as defined, by restricting it to specified percentages of the contribution and benefit base under a specified federal law with respect to old age, survivors, and disability insurance benefits. Existing law, the Teachers’ Retirement Law, establishes the State Teachers’ Retirement System (STRS) and creates the Defined Benefit Program of the State Teachers’ Retirement Plan, which provides a defined benefit to members of the program, based on final compensation, creditable service, and age at retirement, subject to certain variations. This bill, on and after January 1, 2027, would require a retirement system subject to PEPRA to adjust pensionable compensation limits to be consistent with specified percentages of the contribution and benefit base under the specified federal law with respect to old age, survivors, and disability insurance benefits. The bill would require a new member of STRS to be subject to specified limits of the Teachers’ Retirement Law. This bill contains other related provisions and other existing laws.

1127 11TH STREET, SUITE 300, SACRAMENTO, CA 95814 • 916.974.9270 • PUBLICPOLICYGROUP.COM PAGE 4 Location: 01/29/2026 - Senate Rules AB 1439 (Garcia) Public retirement systems: development projects: labor standards. (Amended 01/22/2026) The California Constitution grants the retirement board of a public employee retirement system plenary authority and fiduciary responsibility for investment of moneys and administration of the retirement fund and system. These provisions qualify this grant of powers by reserving to the Legislature the authority to prohibit investments if it is in the public interest and the prohibition satisfies standards of fiduciary care and loyalty required of a retirement board. Existing law prohibits the boards of the Public Employees’ Retirement System (PERS) and the State Teachers’ Retirement System (STRS) from making certain new investments or renewing existing investments of public employee retirement funds, including in a thermal coal company, as defined. Existing law provides that a board is not required to take any action regarding those investments unless the board determines in good faith that the action is consistent with the board’s fiduciary responsibilities established in the California Constitution. This bill would state that its purpose is to require the boards of PERS and STRS to contract with the University of California Labor Centers to conduct an independent study to determine the impacts on public employee retirement funds of prohibiting the board of a public pension or retirement system, as defined, from investing in development projects in California that do not provide labor standards protections for workers. The bill would require the study and a report of its findings to be completed and provided to the Legislature and the Department of Finance by January 1, 2028, as specified. The bill would provide that a board is not required to take action pursuant to this provision unless it determines in good faith that the action is consistent with the board’s fiduciary responsibilities established in the California Constitution. This bill contains other existing laws. (Based on 01/22/2026 text) Location: 01/29/2026 - Senate Rules AB 1577 (Bauer-Kahan) Data centers: monthly reporting. (Introduced 01/12/2026) Existing law establishes the State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission (Energy Commission) and vests the commission with various responsibilities with respect to developing and implementing the state’s energy policies. Existing law requires the commission to biennially adopt an integrated energy policy report, as specified, and to make the reports accessible to state, local, and federal entities and to the general public. This bill would require the commission to establish a process for the owner of a data center, as defined, to submit specified information to the commission on a monthly basis, including, among other information, the data center’s power usage effectiveness, as defined, water usage effectiveness, as defined, and total water consumption and the quantity of fuel consumed by onsite generators or other fuel-based energy systems, as specified. The bill would require the owner of a data center to submit the required information in the manner and timeframe specified by the commission. The bill would require the commission, as part of the 2029 edition of the integrated energy policy report, to include an assessment of electrical load trends for data centers, as provided. The bill would require the commission to annually publish the information submitted in an anonymized and aggregated format on its internet website. The bill would require the owner or developer of a data center, upon applying for a discretionary permit, entitlement, or land use authorization required for the construction or operation of the data center, to submit to the applicable local agency, as defined, the information described above, as 16 of 72

By imposing a new duty on local agencies, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The bill would authorize the local agency to use this information for various purposes, including, but not limited to, land use planning, infrastructure planning, energy and water supply assessment, and environmental review.

Existing law requires the department, if a facility is alleged to be in violation of that prohibition, to conduct a site visit to investigate the allegation. Existing law requires, if the department’s employee or agent finds evidence that the facility is providing services without a license, the employee or agent to take specified actions, including, among others, submitting the findings of the investigation to the department and issuing a written notice to the facility that includes the date by which the facility is required to cease providing services. Existing law establishes the Medi-Cal program, which is administered by the State Department of Health Care Services and under which qualified low-income individuals receive health care services, through fee-for-service or managed care delivery systems. The Medi-Cal program is, in part, governed and funded by federal Medicaid program provisions. Existing law establishes the Drug Medi-Cal Treatment Program (Drug Medi-Cal) and authorizes the department to enter into a Drug Medi-Cal contract with each county for the provision of alcohol and drug use services within the county service area. This bill would require the department, if it determines it has jurisdiction over the allegation, to initiate that investigation within 10 days of receiving the allegation and, except as specified, complete the investigation within 60 days of initiating the investigation. The bill would require the department, if it receives a complaint that does not fall under its jurisdiction, to notify the complainant that it does not investigate that type of complaint. The bill would require the employee or agent to provide the notice described above within 10 days of the employee or agency submitting their findings to the department and to conduct a followup site visit to determine whether the facility has ceased providing services as required. The bill would authorize, in counties that elect to administer the Drug Medi-Cal organized delivery system and that provide optional recovery housing services, the county behavioral health agency to request approval from the department to conduct a site visit of a recovery residence that is alleged to be operating without a license. The bill would permit the department to approve that request in certain circumstances, including that the department has sufficient evidence to substantiate the allegation.

Existing law establishes procedures for the disposal of surplus land, including requiring certain information to be provided to the Department of Housing and Community Development. These procedures do not apply to the disposal of exempt surplus land. Existing law establishes various categories of exempt surplus land, including surplus land that is a former street, right-of-way, or easement, and is conveyed to an owner of an adjacent property.

Among these requirements, existing law establishes requirements concerning height limits, density, and residential floor area ratio in accordance with a development’s proximity to specified tiers of TOD stops, as provided, and requires a development to meet specified labor standards that require that a specified affidavit be signed under penalty of perjury, under specified circumstances. Existing law specifies that a development proposed pursuant to these provisions is eligible for streamlined, ministerial approval, as provided. Existing law defines, among other terms, the term “high-frequency commuter rail” for purposes of these provisions to mean a commuter rail service operating a total of at least 48 trains per day across both directions, not including temporary service changes of less than one month or unplanned disruptions, and not meeting the standard for very high frequency commuter rail, at any point in the past three years. Existing law also defines the term “Tier 2 transit-oriented development stop” for these purposes to mean a TOD stop within an urban transit county, as defined, excluding a Tier 1 transit-oriented development stop, as defined, served by light rail transit, by high-frequency commuter rail, or by bus service meeting specified standards.

CEQA also requires a lead agency to prepare a mitigated negative declaration for a project that may have a significant effect on the environment if revisions in the project would avoid or mitigate that effect and there is no substantial evidence that the project, as revised, would have a significant effect on the environment. CEQA exempts ministerial projects from its requirements. CEQA also exempts from its requirements a project that consists exclusively of a facility for advanced manufacturing, as specified. This bill would specify that projects proposed to be carried out or approved by a public agency for the development and operation of a data center, as defined, are not ministerial projects exempt from CEQA. Because the bill would require the public agency to comply with CEQA for those data center projects that would otherwise be exempt from CEQA as ministerial projects, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

CITY OF GLENDALE, CALIFORNIA

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL

AGENDA ITEM
Report: Transfer of Ownership of Ice Energy Thermal Energy Storage (Ice Bear) Units at Various Locations within the City of Glendale and Issuance of $4,500 Electric Utility Bill Credit per Ice Bear Unit for their Removal.

1. Motion authorizing the City Manager, or his designee, to enter into and execute a Transfer, Assignment and Assumption Agreement, and all related and necessary accompanying documents, for the transfer of City’s ownership of Ice Energy Thermal Storage (Ice Bear) units installed at various private commercial property locations within the City and the issuance of $4,500 electric utility bill credit per Ice Bear unit for their subsequent removal.

COUNCIL ACTION
Item Type: Action Item
Approved for March 3, 2026 calendar

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In January 2010, the City Council authorized contracts with the Southern California Public Power Authority (SCPPA) for the deployment of up to 1.5 MW thermal energy storage project with Ice Energy Holdings Inc. (Ice Energy). The project included procurement and installation of control and monitoring equipment, as well as integration of Ice Bear units into the City’s larger Smart Grid Initiative. The City installed a total of 162 units at City facilities and on private commercial properties. The City also maintained a service agreement providing annual preventive maintenance and “as needed” repairs.

The Ice Bear units are fully depreciated, and the cost of ongoing repairs and maintenance will exceed their remaining value. It is in the City’s best interest to remove the units currently installed on private properties. Staff evaluated options for removal and decommissioning and have determined that due to the scope of this undertaking, the work will require a public-works scale project implemented in phases. Therefore, staff recommends the approval of a Transfer, Assignment and Assumption Agreement, under which private property owners will assume ownership and responsibility of the Ice Bear units on their properties. Currently, there are 104 units, listed in Exhibit 1, that remain installed at various locations. The City’s recommendation is to issue a utility bill credit in the amount of $4,500 per unit toward electric charges to cover the removal, or a portion thereof, of the units at the property owner’s own expense and risk. 30 of 72

RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the herein requested action to transfer 104 Ice Bear units located on commercial private properties at various locations within Glendale Water and Power’s (GWP) service territory, and issuance of $4,500 utility bill credit per unit towards the electric charges to an account designated by each property owner for the unit’s removal at the property owner’s sole expense and responsibility.

ANALYSIS
Between the years of 2010 and 2014, the City Council authorized the City of Glendale to enter into contracts to participate in a program through SCPPA to deploy a thermal energy storage project within the City with Ice Energy. The project consisted of the upgrade of HVAC systems at City facilities, procurement and installation of control and monitoring equipment, as well as integration of Ice Bear units into the City’s larger Smart Grid Initiative. The City Council authorized a total project cost not to exceed $4,250,000, that came from multiple funding sources including Electric Depreciation Fund, U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Energy Efficiency Conservation and Block Grant (EECBG), and DOE modernization grant project. As part of the DOE project, GWP ultimately installed 162 Ice Bear units on City and private commercial properties.

Currently, there are a total of 107 Ice Bear units installed, with 104 units on private commercial properties and three units on City facilities.

Since commercial operation date of the units, the City held a service agreement with Ice Energy through SCPPA providing annual preventive maintenance and “as needed” repairs of Ice Bear units throughout GWP’s service territory. In 2019, Ice Energy filed for bankruptcy, and Thule Energy Storage (Thule) acquired the Ice Bear™ thermal energy storage technology and product line. In December 2021, the City Council approved a Task Order, under a Master Services Agreement through SCPPA, with Thule for the continued operation, maintenance and services for the Ice Bear units for a not-to-exceed amount of $150,000. This task order has expired since 2023.

The Ice Bear units are fully depreciated. GWP has evaluated the viability of the Ice Bear system and has determined that it is best to conclude the program and decommission the Ice Bear units due to unit degradation, and projected maintenance exceeding equipment’s useful life.

Staff has determined that removal of Ice Bear units on private properties and their decommissioning and removal will require the City’s ingress onto private property with the undertaking of risk and liability for any damage caused as a result. The removal and decommissioning of these units, aggregated in one project, is considered a public-works scale project due to the scope of this undertaking and would be implemented in phases. Furthermore, staff determined that the amount of $4,500 to credit property owners is based on the last contractual expense under SCPPA’s task order. Therefore, staff recommends transfer of title, ownership and liability for the units to the commercial property owner, with a $4,500 per unit electric utility bill credit 31 of 72

23 26-89428
6 5
8 8
to the owner, or an account designated by the property owner for its removal. Each customer receiving ownership transfer of the Ice Bear unit(s) will be responsible for compliance with all federal and state regulatory requirements for proper removal and decommissioning of each unit. The City, upon transfer of title, will not be responsible for any damage or costs in excess of the $4,500 credit described herein.

STAKEHOLDERS/OUTREACH
The private commercial property owners were contacted by GWP staff to determine the scope of interest in the proposed plan. They were notified that if the plan is approved by City Council, they would have the opportunity to take ownership of the Ice Bear units in exchange for the per unit bill credit. Most of the property owners expressed their readiness to take ownership and have the bill credit be applied to an account they designate. A few property owners stated that they do not want to take ownership of the Ice Bear units and want the City to remove the units, regardless of how long it may take.

FISCAL IMPACT
No new appropriation is being requested.

Upon completion of all documentation related to Transfer, Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the City will issue a $4,500 bill credit to the private commercial property owner or utility account holder. Each credit per Ice Bear unit will be debited from the annual revenues collected from the following account:

Electric Commercial Sales revenue recorded in account 36260-5820-GWP-0000.

The maximum impact on the projected revenues in the Electric Works Revenue Fund 5820 will be $468,000; equating to $4,500 utility bill credit per unit for 104 units installed on various private commercial properties.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW (CEQA/NEPA)
The action requested herein does not constitute a project approval for the purposes of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and concerns the transfer of ownership of already existing HVAC units on private property. For this reason, it can be said with certainty that there is no possibility that approving the transfer of ownership of Ice Bear units on private property will result in any significant change in the environment (CEQA Guidelines §15061(b)(3)).

CITY OF GLENDALE, CALIFORNIA

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL

AGENDA ITEM
Report: Amendment No. 1 to the Standard Lease between the City of Glendale and Babak B. Golbahar for the Verdugo Jobs Center (VJC) facility located at 1255 South Central Avenue to extend the Lease for an 18-month period from April 1, 2026 to September 30, 2027.

1. Introduction of Ordinance authorizing the City Manager, or his designee, to enter into and execute Amendment No. 1 to the Standard Lease, Contract No. 8002055, between the City of Glendale and Babak B. Golbahar for the Verdugo Jobs Center (VJC) facility located at 1255 South Central Avenue, Glendale, CA 91204 to extend the Lease for an 18-month period from April 1, 2026 to September 30, 2027.

COUNCIL ACTION
Item Type: Ordinance Introduction
Approved for March 3, 2026 calendar

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Verdugo Workforce Development Board (VWDB) has a long-standing history of designing and implementing workforce services that create the workforce that employers need in the Verdugo Workforce Development Area, which consists of the Cities of Glendale, Burbank and La Cañada Flintridge. Since 1999, the VJC has been operating workforce services from its location at 1255 South Central Avenue.

The current lease for the VJC facility will expire on March 31, 2026. The proposed lease amendment extends the term of the lease from April 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

The price per square footage remains the same at $2.50 square foot, which equals $58,135 a month, $697,620 annually.

VWDB’s Full Board approved the use of Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act funds to cover the costs associated with the lease amendment at their meeting on February 11, 2026.

RECOMMENDATION
Introduce the Ordinance authorizing the City Manager, or his designee, to enter into and execute Amendment No. 1 to the Standard Lease, Contract No. 8002055, between the City of Glendale and Babak B. Golbahar for the Verdugo Jobs Center facility located at 1255 South Central Avenue to extend the Lease for an 18-month period from April 1, 2026, to September 30, 2027.

ANALYSIS
The Verdugo Consortium is a Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) comprised of the Cities of Glendale, Burbank, and La Cañada Flintridge. The Verdugo Workforce Development Board (VWDB) is the planning and policy body for the Consortium. Its purpose is to provide employment and training programs within the three cities and to allocate and award Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) funds toward its goals. Through the JPA, the City of Glendale (City) has responsibility for the administration of all Consortium activities, including the execution of contracts, including the lease agreement for the Verdugo Jobs Center (VJC) facility. As the administrative entity for the Verdugo Consortium, the City Council on behalf of the City of Glendale approves all agreements.

Since 1999, the VJC has been operating workforce services from its location at 1255 South Center Avenue. This site is a 2-story, 23,254 square foot facility with office space, meeting/conference rooms and ample parking spaces that fulfills the program needs of the workforce section. The VJC consists of employment counseling, job search, job listings, self-service, workshops, business outreach, customized recruitment, and job training programs. The current lease (the “Lease”) for the VJC facility expires on March 31, 2026.

The lease negotiation has been a steady process since last year with the assistance of Overland, Pacific & Cutler, LLC (OPC), a real estate service company previously procured through the City of Glendale’s Community Development Department. Under the guidance of OPC and the assistance of City Attorney’s office, the terms of the lease were finalized with the property owner, Mr. Babak B. Golbahar.

Under the proposed Amendment No. 1 to the Lease (Amendment No. 1), the current lease rate remains the same at $2.50 a square foot, through the 18-month lease extension period from April 1, 2026 to September 30, 2027. This translates to a monthly rent payment of $58,135.00. Currently, the Workforce Section pays for forty-three percent (43%) of the monthly rent which equals $24,772.97 a month, and the State of California Employment Development Department (EDD) pays the remaining fifty-seven (57%) of the cost which equals about $33,362.03 a month. The Workforce Section does not anticipate any changes to EDD’s percentage contribution to the monthly rent in upcoming sublease negotiations, which is approximately for 9,451 square footage of the useable space. The VJC programs are part of an integrated workforce system with EDD. As a result, EDD has been co-located in the center for over twenty years.

All original terms of the lease remain in effect, including the owner’s responsibilities for interior improvement and building systems that include HVAC maintenance, roofing 41 of 72

repairs, painting, flooring, and pest control. Staff will work with the owner to ensure ongoing accountability of these items.

During the Verdugo Workforce Development Board (VWDB) – Full Board meeting on February 11, 2026, the VWDB provided its approval to use Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) funds to cover the costs of Amendment No. 1 for the monthly rent amount at the VJC as provided in Exhibit 1.

STAKEHOLDERS/OUTREACH
The VJC assists the most vulnerable populations. The VWDB promotes WIOA services to the Verdugo region. With established partnerships with organizations in the region, the VWDB will work collaboratively to promote WIOA services to those with limited access to services and with multiple barriers, so they are connected to WIOA programs offered at the VJC.

FISCAL IMPACT
Amendment No. 1 will extend the Lease for an 18-month period from April 1, 2026 to September 30, 2027 and will have an overall cost $1,046,430. The cost for the remaining three months of the fiscal year is $174,405, which was approved as a part of the FY 25-26 budget. The funding for future years will be requested as a part of the annual budget process. No new appropriation is being requested at this time. The City Council approved funding is outlined below:

3. ALTERNATIVES TO STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Alternative 1: The City Council does not introduce the ordinance and authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 1 to the Lease for Verdugo Jobs Center facility, resulting in the VJC ceasing workforce services at its location at 1255 South Center Avenue, and disrupting its ability to support vulnerable populations.

Alternative 2: The City Council may consider any other alternative not proposed by staff.

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL

AGENDA ITEM
Report: Agreements with Precision Aerial Services, Inc., Custom Truck One Source, Inc., and Global Rental Co., Inc. for Various Equipment Rental On-call Services.

1. Resolution dispensing with competitive bidding and authorizing the City Manager, or his designee, to enter into and execute agreements with three equipment rental vendors: Precision Aerial Services, Inc., Custom Truck One Source, Inc., and Global Rental Co., Inc. to provide on-call equipment rental services to Glendale Water & Power (GWP), for an initial term of three years for an aggregate not-to-exceed amount of $1,800,000 to be shared among the three vendors, with an option to extend the agreements with each vendor for two additional one-year terms at $600,000 aggregate per year.

2.Resolution of Appropriation

COUNCIL ACTION
Item Type: Action
Approved for March 3, 2026 calendar

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Glendale Water & Power (GWP) seeks authorization to enter into a three-year agreement with specialized heavy equipment rental companies. Much of GWP’s existing heavy equipment fleet is aging, creating an operational need to supplement City-owned equipment with rental units on an “as needed” basis to maintain and enhance system reliability.

GWP crews rely on this type of specialized equipment daily to safely and reliably provide electrical service to the residents of Glendale. During peak demand periods and emergency events, GWP staff have been required to coordinate with neighboring utilities to borrow essential equipment, including bucket trucks, in order to complete transmission line repairs and restore service. Establishing rental agreements in advance will reduce reliance on external agencies and improve response times during emergency and high-workload situations.

To address this need, staff have identified and evaluated the three locally based companies that specialize in trade-specific heavy equipment rentals: Precision Aerial 62 of 72

42 6
6 4
1 Services, Inc., Custom Truck One Source, Inc., and Global Rental Co., Inc. Each of these vendors is currently utilized and recommended by neighboring utilities, which have confirmed their ability to provide reliable access to properly maintained equipment when needed.

Approval of this agreement will ensure that GWP has timely access to critical equipment to support safe and efficient operations and strengthen the utility’s ability to respond to routine and emergency system demands.

GWP staff has reached out to multiple companies to obtain competitive pricing and now seeks authorization for three-year term agreements with the three qualified vendors referenced herein, with the option to extend each agreement for two additional one-year terms, covering equipment rental services for items such as a digger derrick truck, a large transmission bucket truck, a medium distribution bucket truck, and other similar machinery as needed.

The proposed agreements with these firms will cost in aggregate $1,800,000 over the course of the initial three years. Funding for this contract and the renewal terms will be requested as part of the City’s annual budget process.

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution dispensing with competitive bidding and authorizing the City Manager, or his designee, to execute three-year agreements with three qualified companies: Precision Aerial Services, Inc., Custom Truck One Source, Inc., and Global Rental Co., Inc., with the option to extend each agreement for two additional one-year terms, to rent heavy equipment as needed.

The total budget and aggregate not-to-exceed amount for the initial three-year term of the agreements, to be shared between the companies, shall be $1,800,000. This, along with the renewal terms will be requested as part of the City’s annual budget.

ANALYSIS
GWP seeks to enter into three-year agreements, with the option to renew each agreement for two additional one-year terms, with three heavy equipment rental companies. GWP’s heavy equipment is aging due to daily use and there is a need to bring in heavy rental equipment, on an “as needed” basis, to improve system reliability.

GWP crews rely on specialized heavy equipment to safely and reliably deliver electrical services to the residents and businesses of Glendale. Over the past year, several vehicles within the Electrical Department fleet have experienced mechanical failures.

Due to the complexity of required repairs, these units were placed out of service for extended periods while undergoing repairs at outside facilities, in some cases for several months. When a specialty piece of equipment is unavailable, entire work crews may be idled, resulting in reduced productivity and extended restoration times during power outage events.

6 4
1 During the high wind event in 2025, GWP was required to request assistance from the City of Riverside and the City of Anaheim to obtain specialized equipment in order to expedite power restoration efforts. Additionally, on multiple occasions, GWP’s sole transmission bucket truck has been out of service for repairs while outages occurred on the 69kV transmission system, requiring GWP to coordinate with Burbank Water & Power to borrow equivalent equipment to restore service as quickly as possible. While mutual aid remains an important component of regional cooperation, reliance on neighboring utilities for essential equipment presents operational challenges, particularly during widespread or concurrent emergency events.

To mitigate these risks, staff have identified three companies that specialize in the rental of trade-specific heavy equipment. These companies were recommended by neighboring utilities that currently utilize their services to ensure timely access to properly maintained equipment when operational needs arise.

Executing agreements with these three vendors would provide the following benefits to GWP:

1. Improve the ability of electrical crews to restore service during outages and complete system upgrades in a timely manner.

2. Provide operational flexibility by allowing GWP to secure specialized equipment on an “as needed” basis.

3. Enhance GWP’s ability to participate in mutual aid responses without compromising local operational readiness.

4. Supplement the existing electrical fleet without the capital costs associated with equipment purchase.

5. Reduce reliance on neighboring utilities for critical equipment resources.

6. Increase overall availability of specialized equipment to support routine and emergency operations.

Rental equipment will be deployed by GWP as operational needs arise. For each request, staff will solicit availability and pricing from the contracted rental providers and select the vendor offering the most appropriate equipment based on availability, suitability for the scope of work and cost. This process will ensure efficient use of resources while maintaining operational effectiveness and fiscal responsibility.

1 FISCAL IMPACT
The agreements for the Heavy Equipment Rental Companies to provide on-call rental services will cost $600,000 per year for a total not-to-exceed amount of $1,800,000 over the initial three-year term, with the potential for an additional $1,200,000 for the optional two-year extensions. Since this cost was not anticipated in the FY 2025-26 budget, staff are requesting the following appropriation from GWP’s Electric Surplus Fund Balance:
