AGENDA
STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: 9/19/2023 AGENDA SECTION: STUDY SESSION
SUBJECT:
Presentation from Lechowicz & Tseng Municipal Consultants on progress of a Rate Study for water, wastewater and storm drain rates and Council direction to staff and consultants to assist with the completion of the Study.
RECOMMENDATION: Recommendation: That City Council receive a presentation from Lechowicz & Tseng Municipal Consultants on progress of a Rate Study for water, wastewater and storm drain rates and provide direction to staff and consultants for completion.
Recommended Motion: Provide direction to staff and consultants for the Rate Study.
BACKGROUND:
Utility operations in water, sewer and storm drain are self-supporting enterprise funds that provide services for a fee. Charges for service through rates are the primary source of funding for operations and also fund a significant portion of the capital improvement program which includes the debt service (principal and interest) for bonds issued to fund these projects. Developer fees are the other funding source for capital projects. However, impact fees paid by developers are legally limited to addressing the impacts caused by the impacts of the developers' projects. For example, a project's impact fees may not be utilized to address normal wear and tear to infrastructure improvements that are not caused by that project.
It has been five years since water rate adjustments. The last water rate increase was July 1, 2018 (adopted in Resolution No. 15-60-R on December 15, 2015). The last sewer/storm rate increase was July 1, 2011 (adopted in Resolution No. 09-77-R on November 17, 2009) over twelve years ago.
Without updating rates the City will not have long term sustainability.
City Council has the authority to approve rate changes when necessary to ensure the continued recovery of costs for services and to secure reinvestment into the system infrastructure for long term sustainability.
Proposition 218 (Prop 218), approved in 1996, adds Article XIII D (Voter Approval for Local Tax Levies) to the California Constitution. All property-related fees, such as water, wastewater and storm drain fees and charges, must meet Prop 218’s requirements. It applies to most utility charges and fees; however, electric and gas utility charges were specifically exempted from the definition of property-related charges in the statute. The City is required to provide notice of proposed increases to the sewer, water and refuse collection service fees and charges to all affected ratepayers and record receipt of all written protests during a public hearing. Prop 218 prohibits increases to fees and
charges if a majority of the affected ratepayers submit written opposition to proposed increases.
The City's utilities are faced with many current and future challenges including aging infrastructure, preserving groundwater supply, adapting to changing water and wastewater quality regulations, and increased operational and capital costs. A growing proportion of Hanford's utility infrastructure is aging beyond its expected useful life. For example, the expected useful life of water distribution pipeline is 40 years. Hanford's operational costs are not immune to the impacts of inflation, which increase construction and equipment costs as well. In addition, adequate fund balance must be maintained to maintain applicable bond requirements and sustain operations in event of a fiscal emergency.
The consultant Lechowicz & Tseng and staff will present to Council a preliminary look at the needs of the water and sewer enterprises and seek Council's direction on how to draft a final report before final public notification and public hearings. Per Government Code Sections 53750 and 53751, the California Legislature has determined that, for purposes of Proposition 218, "sewer" includes sanitary sewer and storm water collection and disposal systems. As a result, increases to storm water fees are subject to Proposition 218's "majority protest" rules and do not require voter approval. Any new rates (if warranted) are recommended to be in place by January 1, 2024.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no fiscal impact at this time. City Council's direction today will help to shape how the City is able to adequately fund water and sewer operations and capital needs.
The proposed five-year water utility rate plan will fund future operating and capital costs, maintain reserve levels and financial metrics that comply with approved fiscal and reserve policies, and maintain current bond ratings to keep current and potential borrowing costs for capital investments low.
Based on Council direction today, staff and the consultant will bring back an updated draft study for consideration to prepare all documents necessary for public noticing of a rate proposal, to update proposed rate schedules to reflect changes due to the rate proposal, and to update any other documents necessary for the public hearing. New rates would be proposed to be effective as of January 1, 2024.

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: 9/19/2023 AGENDA SECTION: STUDY SESSION
SUBJECT:
Preview of the Active Transportation Plan, including the scope of work, timeline, community outreach, and it’s relationship with the Reconnecting Communities Program
RECOMMENDATION:
Recommendation: The Council receive a presentation on the Active Transportation Plan and overview of the Reconnecting Communities Program and the proposed project for this funding cycle.
Recommended Motion:
BACKGROUND:
On October 27, 2022, the City of Hanford submitted a Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant application to the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), requesting $252,143 to create an Active Transportation Plan (ATP) to update the 2016 Pedestrian and Bicycle Plan. In May 2023, the City was awarded $253,499 to create an ATP.
The existing bicycle and pedestrian networks within the City of Hanford are disjointed and incomplete, with high-stress segments, missing sections of sidewalk and bicycle facilities, and significant barriers (Highway 198 and UPRR Railroad) that lack clear, safe, and comfortable crossings for active transportation users. Additionally, the City of Hanford is poised for significant growth over the next decade from the California High-Speed Rail Kings/Tulare station, currently under construction on the City's eastern edge. This presents an opportunity to leverage this significant regional transportation asset and facilitate a more significant modal shift towards active transportation.
The City of Hanford will develop an Active Transportation Plan (ATP) to provide the community with a clear roadmap to guide investments in non-motorized infrastructure, policies, and programs. The Plan will enhance bicyclist and pedestrian safety, facilitate modal shifts out of personal vehicles, and improve the quality of life for Hanford's large disadvantaged community. Half the population (29,651 people) live in poor census tracts (scoring in the bottom 10.8% according to the Healthy Places Index and CalEnviroscreen 4.0 scores from 91-99). Hanford does not have a robust multimodal network (Class I, Class IV, and no buffered Class II bike lanes; standard Class II bike lanes exist on only three streets). There is currently no dedicated space for bicyclists to cross Highway 198 safely, thus creating a barrier between high-poverty neighborhoods and the majority of essential services and jobs.
Furthermore, 13 of 16 Class III bike routes are high-speed (35 mph and up) roadways with no
dedicated space or lane markings. As a result, residents suffer from high crash rates within disadvantaged communities. Despite the lack of connected, comfortable routes, people living in underprivileged areas use active transportation more frequently than 45.5% of all California census tracts (Attachment 2B-3). This Plan will engage the public with a focus on hearing from historically marginalized stakeholders to reflect their needs.
The City will invite participation from the Kings County Action Organization, Tachi Yokut Tribe, local businesses and employers, Kings County Association of Governments, and Caltrans District 6. In addition, the Plan will identify first/last mile to transit connections to align with the forthcoming California High-Speed Rail (HSR) Kings/Tulare Station.
The final Plan will include a prioritized list of recommendations, including planning level cost estimates and implementation strategy (see attached Work Plan). In addition, the City will refine the top three priority projects into project concepts, including 15% design-level concepts for future grant applications.
This project will thoroughly review the existing conditions within the City of Hanford and gather feedback from the public to identify existing issues, concerns, and deficiencies for active transportation users. The project will evaluate current levels of traffic stress, equity considerations, demand, and mode shift potential in addition to specific locations identified by the public through an interactive mapping exercise. The project will ultimately produce an Active Transportation Plan for the City, which includes a prioritized list of active transportation infrastructure projects and non- infrastructure programs/policies for improving active transportation in the City of Hanford, as well as implementation guidance.
We are currently implementing Task 2, Public Outreach and Data Gathering. Task 2 includes the following:
• Public Engagement Plan
• Equity Framework
• Active Transportation Advisory Committee
• Pop-Up Events

• Monthly progress reports
Task 2 Public Outreach & Data Gathering
PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT PLAN
As the City of Hanford considers making improvements to its active transportation infrastructure, it is critical to involve citizens and stakeholders in the process. In order to encourage strong participation from the large Hispanic community, each public meeting / event must p rovide Spanish language accommodates and all outreach materials must be provided in English and Spanish. Early and sustained involvement helps make a successful project, but drawn out schedules can sap the interest of all but most the serious advocates. In our experience, successful engagement requires:
• Tangible projects, project concepts, and well-defined questions that can elicit meaningful input • Defined, fun exercises that engage the public about project benefits and trade-offs • Limited timeframes for participation
• Multiple methods of interaction so participants can stay for as much or little time as they like • Online engagement to reach a broader audience
CONSULTANT will develop a detailed Public Engagement Plan (PEP) that describes proposed events and identifies the schedule and key considerations for each event. This document will describe (1) the goals of the engagement effort, (2) the key audiences to reach within the City, and (3) the strategies (meetings, advertising, and other efforts), to reach these audiences. CONSULTANT will continue to update the engagement strategy as the planning process continues, updating lists of stakeholders and other participants as well as identifying additional activities as needed to support the Plan. All public input will be captured an d summarized in a chapter of the Plan.
CONSULTANT will be able to provide access to digital video conferencing software that can accommodate simultaneous participants for webinars or interactive meetings, which can include polling, virtual “breakout sessions”, screen sharing, and live- chats. CONSULTANT will monitor updates on the COVID-19 restrictions and work with the City of Hanford to make any changes to the Public Engagement Plan, as appropriate.
EQUITY FRAMEWORK
CONSULTANT will develop an Equity Framework as part of the PEP which will ensure that all citizens of Hanford have the opportunity to engage meaningfully in the ATP process. The Equity Framework would be used by the City, project stakeholders, and other community-based organizations that are involved in the planning process to focus on what role active transportation facilities and programs can help, if at all, to address disparities. The Framework will help ensure that groups who frequently face greater transportation disparities and vulnerabilities (ex. people of color, women, people of no -and low-income, people with limited English proficiency, people with disabil ities, children and seniors, single parents, and people who don’t own cars or do
UPDATED SCOPE OF WORK 6-2-22

not drive) are fully considered in the evaluation of existing conditions and in recommendations. This Framework will guide the identification of community outreach events and ensure that engagement with disparate or vulnerable groups is prioritized.
ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION ADVISORY COMMITTEE
CONSULTANT will develop, through active promotion and advertising, an ATP Technical Advisory Committee (ATP-TAC) comprised of various stak eholders and interested citizens willing to volunteer their time to provide input and oversight throughout the duration of the project. This team would serve in a volunteer capacity and meet regularly to review project updates, provide feedback, and assist the project team in meeting project goals. In order to ensure representation from a broad array of the community, the desired make-up of the ATP-TAC will include representatives from the following groups:
• Youth
• Seniors
• People with Disabilities
• Limited English Proficiency
• Low-Income populations
The ATP-TAC shall meet at least quarterly throughout the duration of the project and may meet more frequently, as needed.
CONSULTANT will work with City staff to develop a list of potential stakeholders with an interest in pedestrian and bicycle facilities within the region. These stakeholders shall include, but are not limited to City staff, police services, school district’s st aff, representatives from service organizations, the Tulare/Kings Hispanic Chamber of Com merce, the local branch of the American Legion (Post 3), Self -Help Housing (benefits low -income families with limited English proficiency), disabled residents, senior citizens, businesses, neighborhood leaders, residents, local bicycle and running clubs, the Tachi Yokut Tribe, King Area Rural Transit (KART), and other interested groups. CONSULTANT will work with City staff to develop a final list of stakeholders and contact specific groups.
CONSULTANT will facilitate up to three (3) ATP -TAC meetings. These meetings may be held concurrently with other public engagement efforts. CONSULTANT will lead all logistical considerations and coordination with stakeholders. CONSULTANT will prepare meeting agendas and will document attendance and input received. The proposed meetings will include:
• Meeting 1 – Listening Session: One meeting at the onset of the project to understand local and regional issues related to bicycling and walking and help set the stage for the development of the project. • Meeting 2 – Collaboration Session: One meeting to present the summary of existing conditions and gather feedback on early findings. This meeting shall take place prior to the first community workshop. Feedback will be used in the development of materials for the first public workshop. • Meeting 3 – Presentation Session: One meeting to present the final infrastructure, policy and programmatic recommendations. This meeting shall take place prior to presenting recommendations at the second community workshop. Feedback from this meeting will be incorporated to the final recommendations to be presented at the second and last community workshop.
CONSULTANT will begin specifically promoting opportunities for citizen involvement using general promotion efforts as soon as possible. These efforts shall include, but are not limited to, public notices as follows:
• A total of ten (10), full -color flyers (8.5” x 11 ”) provided to the City for posting on the interior of the KART buses and local establishments
• A public notice provided to the Hanford City Clerk for posting at City Hall • A public notice advertised in the Hanford News, with an additional public notice posted two weeks later • A public notice posted to the project website which can be used throughout the duration of the project
UPDATED SCOPE OF WORK 6-2-22
Hanford ATP – Updated Scope of Work | 4
POP-UP EVENTS
CONSULTANT shall develop materials and coordinate with the City and ATP -TAC members to conduct up to eight (8) pop-up events during the duration of the project. CONSULTANT will be required to attend a total of four pop-up events with the remaining four to be conducted by City staff or ATP-TAC members. The CONSULTANT will work with the City to publicize the mobile workshops to ensure all members of the public know about the workshop and have the opportunity to attend. CONSULTANT will develop materials, maps, methods to gather input, and summary notes each event. CONSULTANT will provide materials in English and Spanish.
CONSULTANT will work with the City of Hanford to propose a substitution for any activities including pop -up engagement opportunities that may not be possible due to COVID19 related restrictions.
PROJECT WEBSITE AND ONLINE ENGAGEMENT
CONSULTANT will create a project website (in both English and Spanish) which will include a brief summary of the project, a description of the project milestones, a list of key dates, copies of documents cleared for public access that are available for download, contact information for the CONSULTANT point person, and any other materials or resources that may be beneficial to the public. CONSULTANT will regularly post project updates throughout the duration of the project.
CONSULTANT will also provide brief updates (1-2 sentences) to the City on a regular basis for the City to post to City social media (Facebook and Twitter) accounts and on the project website.
CONSULTANT will manage a survey, to be made available in English and Spanish and for both paper and online access, for gathering input on community needs/priorities and challenges in the existing pedestrian and bicycle network. Results from the survey will help inform recommendations to the active transportation network.
CONSULTANT will provide the City with an online interactive community map in order to increase the opportunities for the public to provide meaningful input and feedback. CONSULTANT will utilize online mapping for two project phases:
• Phase 1 Needs: The online map will be available for open -ended comments, feedback, and input from the public.
Members of the community may identify priority destinations for walking and biking, routes they would like to see improved, and similar information. The map will allow users to comment on input from other users, allowin g for a dialogue among residents. This phase would be online through Task 3. • Phase 2 Recommendations: The online map will show the draft recommended bicycle, pedestrian, and trail networks developed by CONSULTANT as a result of community input and independ ent analysis. Members of the public may comment on the recommendations to indicate their approval or disapproval of the network.
PUBLIC OUTREACH SIGNAGE
CONSULTANT will develop one unique poster / yard sign which include a QR code and link to the project website for each outreach phase of the project and print 10 copies (for a total of 20). These promotional materials will help drive locals to the online survey and interactive mapping exercises. The CONSULTANT will work with City staff to place promotional materials at locations that are highly trafficked by pedestrians and bicyclists in the City of Hanford such as the intersection of W 7th Street and Douty Street, the KART transit center, Centennial Park, Freedom Park, the Hanford Sports Complex, and the Civic Center Park.
COMMUNITY WORKSHOPS
CONSULTANT will facilitate four (4) in-person community workshops during the course of the project to highlight the Plan, focused on providing the public with tangible products that require public engagement. There will be two workshops conducted during each outreach phase as described below. CONSULTANT will develop flyers, draft agenda, pr esentation materials, maps, methods to gather input, and summary notes for the workshop. CONSULTANT will also provide materials in English and Spanish, and will make sure Spanish -speaking staff attend the workshops. The City of Hanford will secure the meet ing location and distribute noticing. Beginning thirty (30) days prior to each scheduled workshop, CONSULTANT will engage in multiple methods of outreach to promote the community workshop. CONSULTANT will engage in a concerted public outreach effort using flyers,
UPDATED SCOPE OF WORK 6-2-22

public notices, outreach signage, the project website, and social media to advertise the event and encourage participation.
Workshops will be developed around the following project phases:
• Phase 1 - Needs Workshops (Workshops 1 & 2) – The first and second workshops will present the existing network and programs, gather feedback on network gaps and areas of concern, and review data on safety concerns, connectivity, and other factors.
• Phase 2 – Recommendations Workshops (Workshops 3 & 4) – The third and fourth community workshops will be used to review the draft policy and infrastructure recommendations, and solicit feedback from the community.
CONSULTANT will demonstrate availability and familiarity with a secondary fully virtual option to Com munity Workshops as a contingency option for COVID related restrictions.
COMMUNITY WALKING AUDIT
The CONSULTANT will work with the City and ATP -TAC to conduct one walking / bicycling audit within the City and invite community members and the ATP-TAC to participate. The goal of the audit will be to highlight barriers and concerns of residents and to assess existing conditions related to active transportation. The CONSULTANT will oversee coordination and promotion of the audit while managing audit logistics such as scheduling with community partners, route planning, developing of printed materials like route maps or checklists, and providing a summary of findings.
COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT SUMMARY
At the conclusion of the public involvement portion of the project, CONSULTANT will provide a summary of public engagement with special emphasis on accomplishments with key stakeholders including the s chool district and underserved portions of the community.

PLAN REVIEW
CONSULTANT will review relevant plans, policies, and reports that pertain to active transportation in the City to allow for consistency. At the onset of the project, CONSULTANT will work with the City to finalize a list of p lans/ documents / policies to be reviewed. CONSULTANT will submit a data request memo to City staff, to request all available plans, policies, and regulations which may have any effect on the development of the plan and recommendations. Following the revie w of the documents, CONSULTANT staff will develop a summary of plans and how they pertain to the development and implementation of bicycle and pedestrian recommendations in the Plan. The CONSULTANT will consider the potential for displacement of existing c ommunity members resulting from recommended projects and provide
VISION, GOALS, AND OBJECTIVES
Based on review of existing plans and input from City staff, CONSULTANT will develop a vision statement for the draft plan. The vision will be a broad and inspirational statement that presents the desired impact on pedestrian and bicycle travel in the future.
Goals, policies, and action statements will be developed to support the vision statement. CONSULTANT will develop a memo that will be the foundation of this section of the plan. CONSULTANT will revise the memo based on one set of internally consistent client comments and include final changes in the Draft Active Transportation Plan.
EXISTING CONDITIONS AND BASE MAPS
CONSULTANT will work with the City to compile and organize available information on existing conditions for the project area such as demographics, traffic volumes, state route planning and construction plans, aerial and base maps, and existing bicycle and pedestrian facilities. CONSULTANT will then prepare a series of base maps for design and analysis work that can be easily understood by the public for use at meetings and the public events. Data will also be collected using available data and verified with desktop review and strategic field visits. CONSULTANT will share the final map (with all GIS shape files) with the City.

CONSULTANT will conduct a detailed assessment of gaps and needs of on- and off-street bicycle facilities, and pedestrian facilities.
This assessment will quantify factors that impact walking and bicycling activity, locate network gaps as potential projects, and identify key pedestrian and bicycling areas based on demand and supply variables. Analysis under this task shall include:
• Demand Analysis (Land Use Analysis). CONSULTANT will use data about existing and proposed land use, trips, and others to identify where there is high demand for biking and walking in Hanford. This will consider access to transit, schools, work, commercial destinations, trail heads, and others. CONSULTANT will coordinate with City Planning Department to consider future land uses surrounding the Kings/Tulare HSR Station and their impacts on future bikin g and walking demand. CONSULTANT will provide memo summarizing results of up to four analyzed land use scenarios. • Safety Analysis (Collision Analysis): CONSULTANT will conduct an analysis of safety issues in Hanford. CONSULTANT will use the latest five ye ars of vehicular, bicycle, and pedestrian collisions using the Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS) and Transportation Injury Mapping System (TIMS) to develop maps that illustrate bicycle and pedestrian collision locations based on severity . High injury corridors and intersections will be identified for special consideration in the recommendations section of the plan update. CONSULTANT will work with the city to perform high level audits to identify safety concerns at high-collision locations. • Modeshare Analysis: CONSULTANT will work with the City to understand the estimated number of existing bicycle trips and pedestrian trips in the plan area, both in absolute numbers and as a percentage of all trips, and the estimated increase in the numb er of bicycle trips and pedestrian trips resulting from implementation of the plan. CONSULTANT will use data about existing multimodal infrastructure to develop an understanding of how well destinations and areas of demand are connected for people who want to walk and bike for both transportation and recreation. It will also consider how Hanford’s bicycle, pedestrian, and trail networks connect to the City’s neighbors. • Equity Analysis: CONSULTANT will map demographic information city-wide to understand specific conditions related to low income, minority households, and households without access to a motor vehicle in the study area. This information can be used to identify programmatic strategies to support students, families, and schools with limited capacit y and resources, and in the project prioritization phase to focus resources in areas that have been traditionally less well - served by city infrastructure. As part of this analysis, the CONSULTANT will consider the potential for displacement

caused by recom mended projects due to cost -of-living increases and provide policy considerations for the City to proactively address potential issues. This will include a review of industry best practices on displacement mitigation from across the United States.
• Level of Traffic Stress Analysis: CONSULTANT will assess the Level of Traffic Stress (LTS) on the existing bikeway facilities using available data including number of vehicle travel lanes, existing bicycle facilities, and intersection controls. Gaps in the network will be identified in terms of user comfort, identifying where a segment drops below the desired level of traffic stress and implications for ridership. This task will look at:
o Accessibility of regional destinations
o Potential new facility requirements (in excess of existing and planned facilities) o Existing barriers to bicycle access
CONSULTANT will use these analyses to identify:
• New trail opportunities along creeks/water features, other infrastructure right -of-ways, or adjacent to public street right-of-ways;
• Gaps in existing bicycle networks, intersection crossing needs, and other conflict points, • Gaps in pedestrian networks, such as sidewalk gaps, crossing needs in areas of pedestrian activities or at crossings of streets and other public right-of-ways;
• Priorities in route choice and how specific project improvements improve overall bicycle mobility based on specific user groups and their preferences;
• Potential enhancements to existing trails and bicycle and pedestrian facilities to meet design and/or Amer icans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards, and
• Needs for supporting bicycle facilities, such as bicycle parking, repair stations and other CONSULTANT will produce a series of maps, tables, and narrative that describe gaps and needs, developing a chapter for the plan that synthesize this information into critical needs and gaps that can be addressed by the City. CONSULTANT will also produce a map specifically identifying opportunities for and barriers to walking and bicycling around schools in the Hanford Elementary School District.
CONSULTANT will develop an Existing Conditions Memo that includes deliverables from Task 3.
Task 3 Deliverables:
• Map identifying opportunities and barriers around schools in the HESD • Vision, goals, and objectives
• Base map files (GIS format and with all shape files)
• Existing Conditions Memo
Task 4 Non-Infrastructure and Programs

UPDATED SCOPE OF WORK 6-2-22
Hanford ATP – Updated Scope of Work | 8
NON-INFRASTRUCTURE RECOMMENDATIONS
CONSULTANT will develop specific program recommendations in coordinatio n with implementing agencies. CONSULTANT will develop a pedestrian and bicycle programs memo that will be the foundation of the update to the plan for this section.
CONSULTANT will revise the memo based on one set of internally consistent client comments.
Task 4 Deliverables:
• Summary of existing policies and programs
• Pedestrian and bicycle programs memo
Task 5 Development and Implementation of the ATP
This task will provide Hanford with a list of projects, a method to prioritize projects, and identification of funding sources to support future projects. The outcome will be a plan with prioritized locations and specific improvements for streets, sidewalks, and intersections that support all users.
DESIGN GUIDELINES
CONSULTANT will develop design guidelines to reflect changes in best practices and in coordination with the City’s policies.
CONSULTANT will consult the FHWA Small Town and Rural Multimodal Networks Guide (STAR) as well as Caltrans Highway Design Manuals and Design Information Bulletins, and 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design. The design guidelines will be a stand- alone document. CONSULTANT will develop and revise the design guidelines based on one set of internally c onsistent client comments. Design guidelines will include the following:
• Bikeway, trail, and sidewalk recommended widths
• Bikeway and trail intersection guidance
• Bicycle detection recommendations
• Striping and signing recommendations
• Bicycle parking recommendations by land use type
• Pedestrian improvement standards, accessibility issues, and crosswalk Prioritization Policy • Traffic calming and control devices for universal access CONSULTANT will develop a set of design guidelines tailored to the unique context of the City of Hanford, using images and information on local infrastructure that provides the City with a resource to implement ongoing bicycle and pedestrian design solutions as part of project opportunities that arise from other projects such as new development or regular street resurfacing.
BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN NETWORK RECOMMENDATIONS
CONSULTANT will develop pedestrian and bicycle network recommendations. The networks will be developed with a variety of users in mind (school children, commuters, elderly and disabled adults, and recreational users), and enhance local non-motorized connections. The CONSULTANT team will prepare maps depicting existing, funded, and proposed bicycle and pedestrian projects.
We will also produce a project list. Each listed project will include the project name, proposed facility type, segment endpo ints and segment length. Recommendations will be categorized by facility type and may include:
• Local and regional bikeways (e.g., Class I/II/III/IV facilities) • Pedestrian spot improvements (e.g., sidewalk infill, crossing enhancements) • Support facilities (e.g., short- and long-term bike parking and trailheads) • Future studies (e.g., trail feasibility studies, bike share feasibility studies, signal timing enhancements, and other improvements requiring further analysis)
ORDER OF MAGNITUDE COST ESTIMATES
Based on the draft network recommendations, CONSULTANT will develop planning-level order of magnitude cost ranges for the bicycle and pedestrian network improvements. Order of magnitude cost estimates will include a range of cost to provide decision
UPDATED SCOPE OF WORK 6-2-22
Hanford ATP – Updated Scope of Work | 9
makers and the public with an indication of the potential order of magnitude of costs when considering recommendations. Orders of magnitude will be based on the latest unit costs used in Hanford and nearby communities.
PROJECT PRIORITIZATION
CONSULTANT will develop a Project Prioritization matrix that will allow the city to rank the proposed projects. CONSULTANT will develop an initial set of evaluation criteria to be reviewed by the City and ATP-TAC. The evaluation criteria will be used to measure the relative importance of each recommended bicycle and pedestrian improvement. Project evaluation criteria may include:
• Public Support
• Safety
• Connectivity
• Transit Support
• Quality
• Feasibility
The City and the ATP -TAC will provide the final criteria and evaluation method for the CONSULTANT to apply to the proposed projects. As part of this task and using the cost ranges developed during Task 5, CONSULTANT will also identify projects that will require additional review and studies (ex. feasibility, traffic study, ROW needs, etc.). This will help the City identify both priorities and appropriate methods for implementation, including relevant funding sources. The implementation strategy will include general development guidelines for condit ioning future development to implement projects identified in this Plan as the opportunity arises.
FUNDING ANALYSIS AND NEEDS
As part of this task, CONSULTANT will provide an implementation strategy that identifies potential funding opportunities – including local, regional, and statewide funding – and applies them to each project. CONSULTANT will compile existing conditions data to help meet the grant applicat ion requirements of various federal and state grant programs regularly used to fund non - motorized improvement projects, as identified in the funding portion of the AT Plan, to include, but not limited to, the High way Safety Improvement Program (HSIP), Acti ve Transportation Program (ATP), and Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) grant program.
CONSULTANT will create a funding opportunity matrix to match project recommendations with eligible funding sources.
Task 5 Deliverables:
• Citywide design guidelines for the development of active transportation facilities • Proposed bicycle and pedestrian network improvements
• Planning level cost estimates for proposed active transportation improvements • Prioritized project list, including maps and tables that capture the top feasible priorities for the City • Project recommendations and implementation memo
Task 6 Project Concept Plans
CONSULTANT will develop concept plans of the top three (3) priority projects derived from the funding and needs analysis. These will be suitable for the City to apply for grant funding for implementation and include the following signing, striping and other improvements that can be used to develop preliminary planning-level cost estimates and inform a future detailed design phase.
Any changes to the cu rb/gutter and sidewalks or other work changing the vertical alignment of the area will not include consideration of drainage improvements. New curb or upgraded curb ramp locations will be noted in the concept plans and included cost estimates, but not desi gned. The CONSULTANT will develop one administrative draft per concept for the City to review and provide one round of comments.
CONSULTANT will revise each concept plan based on one set of internally consistent client comments.
UPDATED SCOPE OF WORK 6-2-22

AGENDA
STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: 9/19/2023 AGENDA SECTION: CONSENT CALENDAR
SUBJECT:
Approval of a 5-year contract with Brandley Engineering, of Loomis, California, to provide Airport Engineering, Planning and Construction Management Services for State and Federally funded Airport Improvement Projects.
RECOMMENDATION:
Recommendation: That the City Council, by motion, approve the award of a 5-year contract with Brandley Engineering, of Loomis, California, to provide Airport Engineering, Planning and Construction Management Services for State and Federally funded Airport Improvement Projects.
BACKGROUND:
In accordance with the requirements of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), a Request for Qualifications was issued in order to seek Statements of Qualifications from any and all firms interested in providing consulting, engineering, planning and construction management services for the next five (5) years. The FAA encourages sponsors (the City accepting the grant) to keep a firm under contract, as opposed to a project by project basis, because the federal funding process for Airport Improvement Projects is typically a 2 year process which includes the project submission for initial consideration, filling of an application and a tentative allocation issued by the FAA. This contract secures the services of the firm and then individual Supplmental Services Agreements will be approved by Council in the future and then executed for each project, which will include the FAA- approved fees for their work on that project.
The RFQ process began earlier this year. Once the RFQ was issued, a consultant selection committee was established that reviewed three (3) proposals that were received in response to the Request for Statement of Qualifications for a multi-year contract for engineering design services for the Hanford Airport. The three (3) firms that responded to the RFQ were:
• Mead & Hunt, Santa Rosa, CA
• Tartaglia Engineering, Atascadero, CA
• Brandley Engineering, Loomis, CA
All of the three (3) firms were invited for an interview, based on a review and evaluation of their written Statements of Qualifications. Mead & Hunt chose to withdraw from the process prior to the interviews. The firms were rated on the merit of their proposals, their knowledge and expertise in both airport projects and AIP funded grant programs. Additionally, they were rated on the record of past performance with other airports as well as any knowledge of local conditions that were exhibited in the proposals and interviews.
Interviews were conducted by a panel including the City Manager, Deputy City Manager and the Airport Manager. The panel ranked the firms based on experience with FAA funded projects and expertise in designing and overseeing the types of projects included in the attached Hanford Airport’s federal Airport Capital Improvement Program (ACIP). Brandley Engineering ranked the highest in the interview process. Additionally, Brandley Engineering has worked at other valley airports for over 25 years and is familiar with the area. During that time, they have overseen a variety of airport’s capital program, developed airport layout plans, and written grant applications that have resulted in the airport sponsors being offered over $20 million in AIP grant funding. While the Hanford Airport receives an annual Entitlement Grant of $150,000, the airport can also qualify for discretionary funding. FAA grants are not “competitive” per se, but the method in which the narrative is written and the ability to phase projects always helps the FAA in their decision on where the discretionary funding gets allocated.
Brandley Engineering has over 70 years of experience in airport design and FAA funded programs.
They specialize in pavement and infrastructure projects, with a strong geotechnical background.
Given that the Hanford Airport has mostly paving and sealing projects projected for the next 5 years, their proposal rated very strongly. Because the fee structure is provided by the FAA, price is not a deciding factor in this process.
It has been almost 20 years since the airport issued a request for Statements of Qualifications for engineering design services. FAA regulations require airport sponsors to go through a consultant selection process every 5-10 years. Accordingly, the FAA requested that the airport do so after our most recent grant agreement was closed. Staff timed the RFQ and subsequent review process to allow for a new contract period to commence with the new FAA project cycle, which begins each October (Federal Fiscal Year).
Work to be done under this contract will be accomplished over the course of several grant projects and services will be limited to projects which are expected to be initiated within five (5) years of the date of contract execution. The Scope of Work will require the consultant to provide professional services which are generally of an architectural, civil, geotechnical, structural, mechanical and electrical engineering nature. The basic services which will be required of the consultant are usually conducted in four distinct and sequential phases:
(a) Preliminary Phase – Activities required for defining the scope of a project, such as: (1) conferring with the City and the FAA; (2) planning and procuring the necessary surveys and studies required for preliminary design considerations; and (3) developing design schematics, preliminary layouts and cost estimates.
(b) Design Phase – Activities required to undertake and accomplish a full and complete project, such as: (1) conducting and attending meetings and design conferences; (2) collecting engineering data and undertaking field investigations; (3) performing geotechnical engineering studies and special environmental studies; (4) preparing necessary engineering reports and recommendations; (5) preparing detailed plans, specifications and cost estimates; and (6) printing and providing copies of engineering drawings and contract specifications.
(c) Bidding or Negotiation Phase – Assist the City in advertising and securing bids, negotiating for services, analyzing bid results, furnishing recommendations on award of contracts and preparing contract documents.
(d) Construction Phase – Basic services rendered after the award of a construction contract,
including: (1) providing consultation and advice to the City during all phases of construction; (2) attending pre-construction conferences; (3) inspecting work in progress and providing appropriate reports to the City; (4) reviewing and approving shop drawings for compliance with design concepts; (5) preparing and negotiating change orders: (6) determining amounts owed to contractors; and (7) making final inspections.
In addition to the above requirements, the consultant would be required to participate in the preparation of application documents for FAA grants. The consultant will also act as an extension of City staff and be responsible for the tracking of grants, preparation of Grant Drawdown documents, and all close-out documents and grant compliance.
Proposed projects to be included under the contract include, but are not limited to:
YEAR PROJECT DESCRIPTION ESTIMATED COST
2024 Pavement Maintenance Management Plan $165,000 2024 Design & Construct – New Fuel Island and Storage Tanks $1,890,570 2025 Design & Construct – Relocated Segmented Circle and Windcone $241,000
These projects are all part of the airport’s 5 year planned Airport Capital Program. Projects will be submitted to the FAA annually for consideration and the FAA will issue a grant offer for those projects that rate the highest on the funding matrix and then qualify for sufficient funding for the project. The year list above is simply for planning purposes. The actual year of funding will depend on when the FAA issues the grant for that particular project. All of the projects will be funded 95% by the FAA, with the local match coming from money budgeted in the Airport Enterprise Fund for capital improvements.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Brandley Engineering will be paid a negotiated fee, based on the value of the projects designed and in accordance with a fee schedule approved by the FAA. All fees are AIP eligible and covered under the individual Federal AIP Grants and the CalTrans Airport Matching Grant program.

Termination of DBE Subcontracts (49 CFR § 26.53(f)) –
The prime contractor must not terminate a DBE subcontractor listed in response to Supplemental Services Agreement No. 15 (or an approved substitute DBE firm) without prior written consent of City of Hanford.

The prime contractor shall utilize the specific DBEs listed to perform the work and supply the materials for which each is listed unless the contractor obtains written consent City of Hanford. Unless City of Hanford consent is provided, the prime contractor shall not be entitled to any payment for work or material unless it is performed or supplied by the listed DBE.
City of Hanford may provide such written consent only if City of Hanford agrees, for reasons stated in the concurrence document, that the prime contractor has good cause to terminate the DBE firm. For purposes of this paragraph, good cause includes the circumstances listed in 49 CFR §26.53.
Before transmitting to City of Hanford its request to terminate and/or substitute a DBE subcontractor, the prime contractor must give notice in writing to the DBE subcontractor, with a copy to City of Hanford, of its intent to request to terminate and/or substitute, and the reason for the request.
The prime contractor must give the DBE five days to respond to the prime contractor's notice and advise City of Hanford and the contractor of the reasons, if any, why it objects to the proposed termination of its subcontract and why City of Hanford should not approve the prime contractor's action. If required in a particular case as a matter of public necessity (e.g., safety) City of Hanford may provide a response period shorter than five days.
In addition to post-award terminations, the provisions of this section apply to preaward deletions of or substitutions for DBE firms put forward by offerors in negotiated procurements.

Guidelines for Contract Provisions for Obligated Sponsors and Airport Improvement Program Projects Issued on January 20, 2023 Page 10
(2) Hispanic (all persons of Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Central or South American, or other Spanish culture or origin, regardless of race);
(3) Asian and Pacific Islander (all persons having origins in any of the original peoples of the Far East, Southeast Asia, the Indian Subcontinent, or the Pacific Islands); and (4) American Indian or Alaskan native (all persons having origins in any of the original peoples of North America and maintaining identifiable tribal affiliations through membership and participation or community identification).
2. Whenever the Contractor, or any subcontractor at any tier, subcontracts a portion of the work involving any construction trade, it shall physically include in each subcontract in excess of $10,000 the provisions of these specifications and the Notice which contains the applicable goals for minority and female participation and which is set forth in the solicitations from which this contract resulted.
3. If the Contractor is participating (pursuant to 41 CFR part 60-4.5) in a Hometown Plan approved by the U.S. Department of Labor in the covered area either individually or through an association, its affirmative action obligations on all work in the Plan area (including goals and timetables) shall be in accordance with that Plan for those trades which have unions participating in the Plan. Contractors must be able to demonstrate their participation in and compliance with the provisions of any such Hometown Plan. Each contractor or subcontractor participating in an approved plan is individually required to comply with its obligations under the EEO clause and to make a good faith effort to achieve each goal under the Plan in each trade in which it has employees. The overall good faith performance by other contractors or subcontractors toward a goal in an approved Plan does not excuse any covered contractor’s or subcontractor’s failure to take good faith efforts to achieve the Plan goals and timetables.
4. The Contractor shall implement the specific affirmative action standards provided in paragraphs 7a through 7p of these specifications. The goals set forth in the solicitation from which this contract resulted are expressed as percentages of the total hours of employment and training of minority and female utilization the Contractor should reasonably be able to achieve in each construction trade in which it has employees in the covered area. Covered construction contractors performing construction work in a geographical areas where they do not have a Federal or federally assisted construction contract shall apply the minority and female goals established for the geographical area where the work is being performed.
Goals are published periodically in the Federal Register in notice form, and such notices may be obtained from any Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs office or from Federal procurement contracting officers. The Contractor is expected to make substantially uniform progress in meeting its goals in each craft during the period specified.
5. Neither the provisions of any collective bargaining agreement, nor the failure by a union with whom the Contractor has a collective bargaining agreement, to refer either minorities or women shall excuse the Contractor’s obligations under these specifications, Executive Order 11246, or the regulations promulgated pursuant thereto.
6. In order for the nonworking training hours of apprentices and trainees to be counted in meeting the goals, such apprentices and trainees must be employed by the Contractor during the training period, and the Contractor must have made a commitment to employ the apprentices and trainees at the completion of their training, subject to the availability of employment opportunities. Trainees must be trained pursuant to training programs approved by the U.S. Department of Labor.
Guidelines for Contract Provisions for Obligated Sponsors and Airport Improvement Program Projects Issued on January 20, 2023 Page 11
7. The Contractor shall take specific affirmative actions to ensure equal employment opportunity. The evaluation of the Contractor’s compliance with these specifications shall be based upon its effort to achieve maximum results from its actions. The Contractor shall document these efforts fully, and shall implement affirmative action steps at least as extensive as the following:
a. Ensure and maintain a working environment free of harassment, intimidation, and coercion at all sites, and in all facilities at which the Contractor’s employees are assigned to work. The Contractor, where possible, will assign two or more women to each construction project. The Contractor shall specifically ensure that all foremen, superintendents, and other onsite supervisory personnel are aware of and carry out the Contractor’s obligation to maintain such a working environment, with specific attention to minority or female individuals working at such sites or in such facilities. b. Establish and maintain a current list of minority and female recruitment sources, provide written notification to minority and female recruitment sources and to community organizations when the Contractor or its unions have employment opportunities available, and maintain a record of the organizations’ responses.
c. Maintain a current file of the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of each minority and female off-the-street applicant and minority or female referral from a union, a recruitment source, or community organization and of what action was taken with respect to each such individual. If such individual was sent to the union hiring hall for referral and was not referred back to the Contractor by the union or, if referred, not employed by the Contractor, this shall be documented in the file with the reason therefor, along with whatever additional actions the Contractor may have taken. d. Provide immediate written notification to the Director when the union or unions with which the Contractor has a collective bargaining agreement has not referred to the Contractor a minority person or woman sent by the Contractor, or when the Contractor has other information that the union referral process has impeded the Contractor’s efforts to meet its obligations. e. Develop on-the-job training opportunities and/or participate in training programs for the area which expressly include minorities and women, including upgrading programs and apprenticeship and trainee programs relevant to the Contractor’s employment needs, especially those programs funded or approved by the Department of Labor. The Contractor shall provide notice of these programs to the sources compiled under 7b above.
f. Disseminate the Contractor’s EEO policy by providing notice of the policy to unions and training programs and requesting their cooperation in assisting the Contractor in meeting its EEO obligations; by including it in any policy manual and collective bargaining agreement; by publicizing it in the company newspaper, annual report, etc.; by specific review of the policy with all management personnel and with all minority and female employees at least once a year; and by posting the company EEO policy on bulletin boards accessible to all employees at each location where construction work is performed.
g. Review, at least annually, the company’s EEO policy and affirmative action obligations under these specifications with all employees having any responsibility for hiring, assignment, layoff, termination, or other employment decisions including specific review of these items with onsite supervisory personnel such superintendents, general foremen, etc., prior to the initiation of construction work at any job site. A written record shall be made and maintained identifying the time
Guidelines for Contract Provisions for Obligated Sponsors and Airport Improvement Program Projects Issued on January 20, 2023 Page 12
and place of these meetings, persons attending, subject matter discussed, and disposition of the subject matter.
h. Disseminate the Contractor’s EEO policy externally by including it in any advertising in the news media, specifically including minority and female news media, and providing written notification to and discussing the Contractor’s EEO policy with other contractors and subcontractors with whom the Contractor does or anticipates doing business.
i. Direct its recruitment efforts, both oral and written, to minority, female, and community organizations, to schools with minority and female students and to minority and female recruitment and training organizations serving the Contractor’s recruitment area and employment needs. Not later than one month prior to the date for the acceptance of applications for apprenticeship or other training by any recruitment source, the Contractor shall send written notification to organizations such as the above, describing the openings, screening procedures, and tests to be used in the selection process. j. Encourage present minority and female employees to recruit other minority persons and women and, where reasonable, provide after school, summer, and vacation employment to minority and female youth both on the site and in other areas of a contractor’s work force. k. Validate all tests and other selection requirements where there is an obligation to do so under 41 CFR part 60-3.
l. Conduct, at least annually, an inventory and evaluation at least of all minority and female personnel, for promotional opportunities and encourage these employees to seek or to prepare for, through appropriate training, etc., such opportunities.
m. Ensure that seniority practices, job classifications, work assignments, and other personnel practices do not have a discriminatory effect by continually monitoring all personnel and employment related activities to ensure that the EEO policy and the Contractor’s obligations under these specifications are being carried out.
n. Ensure that all facilities and company activities are nonsegregated except that separate or single- user toilet and necessary changing facilities shall be provided to assure privacy between the sexes. o. Document and maintain a record of all solicitations of offers for subcontracts from minority and female construction contractors and suppliers, including circulation of solicitations to minority and female contractor associations and other business associations. p. Conduct a review, at least annually, of all supervisor’s adherence to and performance under the Contractor’s EEO policies and affirmative action obligations.
8. Contractors are encouraged to participate in voluntary associations, which assist in fulfilling one or more of their affirmative action obligations (7a through 7p). The efforts of a contractor association, joint contractor-union, contractor-community, or other similar group of which the Contractor is a member and participant may be asserted as fulfilling any one or more of its obligations under 7a through 7p of these specifications provided that the Contractor actively participates in the group, makes every effort to assure that the group has a positive impact on the employment of minorities and women in the industry, ensures that the concrete benefits of the program are reflected in the Contractor’s minority and female workforce participation, makes a good faith effort to meet its individual goals and timetables, and can provide access
Guidelines for Contract Provisions for Obligated Sponsors and Airport Improvement Program Projects Issued on January 20, 2023 Page 13
to documentation which demonstrates the effectiveness of actions taken on behalf of the Contractor. The obligation to comply, however, is the Contractor’s and failure of such a group to fulfill an obligation shall not be a defense for the Contractor’s noncompliance.
9. A single goal for minorities and a separate single goal for women have been established. The Contractor, however, is required to provide equal employment opportunity and to take affirmative action for all minority groups, both male and female, and all women, both minority and non-minority.
Consequently, the Contractor may be in violation of the Executive Order if a particular group is employed in a substantially disparate manner (for example, even though the Contractor has achieved its goals for women generally, the Contractor may be in violation of the Executive Order if a specific minority group of women is underutilized).
10. The Contractor shall not use the goals and timetables or affirmative action standards to discriminate against any person because of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin.
11. The Contractor shall not enter into any subcontract with any person or firm debarred from Government contracts pursuant to Executive Order 11246.
12. The Contractor shall carry out such sanctions and penalties for violation of these specifications and of the Equal Opportunity Clause, including suspension, termination, and cancellation of existing subcontracts as may be imposed or ordered pursuant to Executive Order 11246, as amended, and its implementing regulations, by the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs. Any contractor who fails to carry out such sanctions and penalties shall be in violation of these specifications and Executive Order 11246, as amended.
13. The Contractor, in fulfilling its obligations under these specifications, shall implement specific affirmative action steps, at least as extensive as those standards prescribed in paragraph 7 of these specifications, so as to achieve maximum results from its efforts to ensure equal employment opportunity.
If the Contractor fails to comply with the requirements of the Executive Order, the implementing regulations, or these specifications, the Director shall proceed in accordance with 41 CFR part 60-4.8.
14. The Contractor shall designate a responsible official to monitor all employment related activity to ensure that the company EEO policy is being carried out, to submit reports relating to the provisions hereof as may be required by the Government, and to keep records. Records shall at least include for each employee, the name, address, telephone numbers, construction trade, union affiliation if any, employee identification number when assigned, social security number, race, sex, status (e.g., mechanic, apprentice, trainee, helper, or laborer), dates of changes in status, hours worked per week in the indicated trade, rate of pay, and locations at which the work was performed. Records shall be maintained in an easily understandable and retrievable form; however, to the degree that existing records satisfy this requirement, contractors shall not be required to maintain separate records.
15. Nothing herein provided shall be construed as a limitation upon the application of other laws which establish different standards of compliance or upon the application of requirements for the hiring of local or other area residents (e.g. those under the Public Works Employment Act of 1977 and the Community Development Block Grant Program).

CERTIFICATION OF OFFEROR/BIDDER REGARDING TAX DELINQUENCY AND
FELONY CONVICTIONS
The applicant must complete the following two certification statements. The applicant must indicate its current status as it relates to tax delinquency and felony conviction by inserting a checkmark () in the space following the applicable response. The applicant agrees that, if awarded a contract resulting from this solicitation, it will incorporate this provision for certification in all lower tier subcontracts.
Certifications
1)The applicant represents that it is ( ) is not ( ) a corporation that has any unpaid Federal tax liability that has been assessed, for which all judicial and administrative remedies have been exhausted or have lapsed, and that is not being paid in a timely manner pursuant to an agreement with the authority responsible for collecting the tax liability. 2)The applicant represents that it is ( ) is not ( ) a corporation that was convicted of a criminal violation under any Federal law within the preceding 24 months.
Note
If an applicant responds in the affirmative to either of the above representations, the applicant is ineligible to receive an award unless the Sponsor has received notification from the agency suspension and debarment official (SDO) that the SDO has considered suspension or debarment and determined that further action is not required to protect the Government’s interests. The applicant therefore must provide information to the owner about its tax liability or conviction to the Owner, who will then notify the FAA Airports District Office, which will then notify the agency’s SDO to facilitate completion of the required considerations before award decisions are made.
Term Definitions
Felony conviction: Felony conviction means a conviction within the preceding twenty four (24) months of a felony criminal violation under any Federal law and includes conviction of an offense defined in a section of the U.S. Code that specifically classifies the offense as a felony and conviction of an offense that is classified as a felony under 18 USC § 3559.
Tax Delinquency: A tax delinquency is any unpaid Federal tax liability that has been assessed, for which all judicial and administrative remedies have been exhausted, or have lapsed, and that is not being paid in a timely manner pursuant to an agreement with the authority responsible for collecting the tax liability.

By submission of an offer, the Offeror certifies that with respect to this solicitation and any resultant contract, the Offeror –
1) is not owned or controlled by one or more citizens of a foreign country included in the list of countries that discriminate against U.S. firms as published by the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR);
2) has not knowingly entered into any contract or subcontract for this project with a person that is a citizen or national of a foreign country included on the list of countries that discriminate against U.S. firms as published by the USTR; and
3) has not entered into any subcontract for any product to be used on the Federal project that is produced in a foreign country included on the list of countries that discriminate against U.S. firms published by the USTR.
This certification concerns a matter within the jurisdiction of an agency of the United States of America and the making of a false, fictitious, or fraudulent certification may render the maker subject to prosecution under Title 18 USC § 1001.
The Offeror/Contractor must provide immediate written notice to the Owner if the Offeror/Contractor learns that its certification or that of a subcontractor was erroneous when submitted or has become erroneous by reason of changed circumstances. The Contractor must require subcontractors provide immediate written notice to the Contractor if at any time it learns that its certification was erroneous by reason of changed circumstances.
Unless the restrictions of this clause are waived by the Secretary of Transportation in accordance with 49 CFR § 30.17, no contract shall be awarded to an Offeror or subcontractor:
1) who is owned or controlled by one or more citizens or nationals of a foreign country included on the list of countries that discriminate against U.S. firms published by the USTR; or

2) whose subcontractors are owned or controlled by one or more citizens or nationals of a foreign country on such USTR list; or
3) who incorporates in the public works project any product of a foreign country on such USTR list.
Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be construed to require establishment of a system of records in order to render, in good faith, the certification required by this provision. The knowledge and information of a contractor is not required to exceed that which is normally possessed by a prudent person in the ordinary course of business dealings.
The Offeror agrees that, if awarded a contract resulting from this solicitation, it will incorporate this provision for certification without modification in all lower tier subcontracts. The Contractor may rely on the certification of a prospective subcontractor that it is not a firm from a foreign country included on the list of countries that discriminate against U.S. firms as published by USTR, unless the Offeror has knowledge that the certification is erroneous.
This certification is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when making an award. If it is later determined that the Contractor or subcontractor knowingly rendered an erroneous certification, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) may direct through the Owner cancellation of the contract or subcontract for default at no cost to the Owner or the FAA.

STAFF QUALIFICATIONS
SECTION B
Brandley Engineering has one of the most unique and highly qualified design teams. As a family business, our team consists of the second generation of Brandley Engineering, Melissa Brandley and Damon Brandley. Both Melissa and Damon Brandley planned on continuing the Brandley Engineering legacy from an early age and began working for the company as teenagers. As a result, our design team’s background, education, and abilities have been carefully planned to perfectly complement each other to create the best possible team. Our approach to building a highly qualified design team centers on advanced education and knowledge, as these are the key ingredients to solving very difficult and complicated engineering challenges. All project managers have advanced master’s degrees in Civil Engineering and extensive airport planning and engineering experience.
Melissa Brandley’s master’s degree in geotechnical engineering perfectly complements Damon Brandley’s master’s degree in pavements and materials. This, combined with their many years under the guidance of Reinard W.
Brandley with his extensive knowledge and 69 years of experience in the airport engineering field, creates the ideal team to solve any engineering design challenge. Melissa and Damon Brandley are supported by a veteran team of five additional engineers, drafters and support staff with extensive experience in airport planning and design. Every employee of Brandley Engineering has spent their entire aviation career with our firm.
The project staffing for the office of Brandley Engineering has been structured to utilize experienced project managers, engineers, technicians, and administrative personnel. Project staffing workload in our office is largely controlled by limiting the number and type of projects to which we submit proposals and by minor adjustments to staffing. We have reserved space in our workload to provide the time and attention required for the projects anticipated at Hanford Municipal Airport over the next few years.
All members of the Brandley Engineering staff can begin work immediately following contract execution as needed on Hanford Municipal Airport projects. Brandley Engineering schedules the work as soon as we receive authorization to proceed on a project and holds weekly meetings to ensure all projects are being completed on time and within budget.
All members of the Brandley Engineering team have extensive knowledge of FAA regulations, policies, and procedures, including:
Airport Capital Improvement Plans (ACIP)
Airport Improvement Program (AIP) FAA grant funding
Pavement Maintenance Management Plans (PMMP)
Environmental processes
Review process of plans and specifications
Bidding process
Contract award process
Project/grant closeout.
This knowledge qualifies our office to provide liaison with the FAA on behalf of Airports at any district or regional office. All staff members are kept up to date on all FAA Advisory Circulars and Design Guidelines.
Team members receive weekly email updates on FAA regulations, policies, and procedures.
The basic design of a project can generally be prepared by any qualified engineer, but it is the details incorporated in the design that can make the difference between a short-lived, high-maintenance project and a long-life, low- maintenance project. Knowledge required to develop and incorporate the design details into a set of plans and specifications is obtained by advanced graduate schooling, experience, and research. All members of the Brandley Management Team have completed advanced graduate schooling with master’s degrees. This will ensure all projects at Hanford Municipal Airport will be properly designed and result in long-life, low-maintenance projects.
All members of Brandley
Engineering team have
extensive knowledge of FAA
procedures.

The 2014 Pavement Maintenance Management Plan (PMMP) prepared for Truckee Tahoe Airport shows that the pavement on Runway 2-20 needed to be reconstructed. This reconstruction will consist of the removal of the existing pavement, recompacting the existing base course, placing new aggregate base course, and placing new asphalt surface course, resulting in raising the runway 8 inches. A future planned runway widening on one side resulted in cost benefit analysis of the location of the crown of the runway. It was decided an offset crown to align with the future runway centerline was the best option. There will be new pavement section

INCLUDING RUNWAY EDGE LIGHTS AND PAPI
CHOWCHILLA MUNICIPAL AIRPORT – 2022
The Pavement Condition Index (PCI) report prepared by Brandley Engineering for Chowchilla Municipal Airport indicated that the pavements on Runway 12-30 have a PCI of 32. The pavements show significant thermal and structural cracking throughout all pavements on the runway and cross taxiways. It is necessary that these pavements be reconstructed at this time. This pavement design was challenging due to the presence of saturated and soft subgrade soils created by a perched water table and a very thin existing pavement section. The proposed rehabilitation of the runway and cross taxiways will consist of leaving the existing pavement sections in place in order to protect the soft subgrade soils, placing a porous concrete base course on top of the existing pavement section to provide a drainage layer and avoid sandwich construction, and then placing asphalt pavement on top of the porous concrete.
The porous concrete base course is a unique design which was invented by Reinard W. Brandley in the 1980’s. This unique design required significant coordination and communication with the FAA Regional and Headquarters offices to obtain a Modification of Standards.
Currently the existing stake-mounted runway edge and threshold lights are in poor condition and unreliable. The existing guidance signs are stake-mounted and non- standard. The Runway 30 VASI is old and obsolete and difficult to maintain. It is proposed to replace these facilities. This project includes new runway edge and threshold lights, guidance signs, PAPI, cable and conduit, and new pilot control panel and constant current regulator.

AIRFIELD DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS
MADERA MUNICIPAL AIRPORT – 2021-2022
The major drainage from the Madera Municipal
Airport, including runways, taxiways, aprons, and tee
hangar areas, carries the storm water into a ditch
and pipe drainage system in the infield between
Runway 12-30 and Taxiway P. This storm water
is then carried under the runway and drains into a
swale through the golf course to a detention pond
located at the southwest corner of the golf course.
The soil in this detention pond is very permeable
and all drain water from the airport and golf course that is delivered to this pond quickly percolates into the ground. The detention pond has adequate capacity to accommodate all drainage from the golf course and the fully developed airport.
The swale through the golf course is through relatively impervious soil and minor amounts of storm water percolate into the ground in this area. The golf course swale is of inadequate size to accommodate the storm water created by the current development, including the airport and golf course, and is unable to accept future development of the airport even though the detention pond has adequate capacity for all the anticipated drain water. Current storm water carried through the golf course creates serious flooding of the golf course and additional development on the airport will increase the problems with golf course flooding. It is proposed to relocate the discharge system from the airport to a separate drainage ditch and pipe system that will ultimately discharge into the same detention pond.

NEW BEACON AND BEACON TOWER
CHOWCHILLA MUNICIPAL AIRPORT – 2021-2022
There is an existing beacon tower at the Chowchilla Municipal Airport, but there is not an existing beacon on the top. The existing beacon tower is too short to allow the beacon beam proper clearance of nearby power poles. Chowchilla Municipal Airport has a runway lighting system and to meet FAA standards it is required to have a beacon. The City of Chowchilla proposes to construct a new rotating beacon on a new tip down tower.
The tower will be 45 feet in height. New electrical service and new electrical duct will be installed from the adjacent airport electrical vault.

CRACK SEAL TAXIWAY A, CRACK SEAL AND SLURRY SEAL RAMP 2, CRACK SEAL RAMPS 1 AND 5
NEVADA COUNTY AIRPORT – 2021-2022
This project will consist of a crack repair, crack seal, and/or slurry seal of Taxiway A and Ramp 2 with bid alternates to include Ramps 1 & 5 at the Nevada County Airport. This is consistent with the recommendations of the recently completed 2021 PMMP. The PCI of these pavements is as follows: Taxiway A (PCI of 60 to 85, majority is 60-67), Ramp 2 (PCI of 60-65), Ramp 1 (PCI of 50), and Ramp 5 (PCI of 45-55). Taxiway A has transverse cracking at approximately 15’ to 30’ spacing that are 1” to 2” wide. These cracks require repair and resealing in order to preserve the life of the pavement surface. Ramp 2 has some fine cracks that require sealing. The surface course of Ramp 2 is very course and the fines from the asphalt have weathered away. A slurry seal is required to protect the surface and extend the life of the surface course. Ramps 1 & 5 both have light to moderate block cracking with cracks varying in width from 1/2” to 1”, These cracks require repair and resealing in order to preserve the life of the pavement surface.

The Truckee Tahoe Airport District scheduled the reconstruction of the pavements on the parallel Taxiway A and cross taxiways in two phases. The east portion of the taxiway was reconstructed in 2016. The west portion of the taxiway was reconstructed in 2021. These projects included excavation, stabilization of subgrade soils, pulverizing existing base course and asphalt and reusing as subbase course, grading, drainage, paving, marking, new solar powered taxiway edge lights and new guidance signs.
After bids were received for the Phase 2 project, discussions were held with the FAA NAS Planning and Integration team, and it was found that the FAA pull boxes for the REIL were in Taxiway Safety Areas and did not meet FAA current standards. After coordination with the FAA NAS Planning and Integration team, it was determined that the existing conduit and pull box system for the FAA REIL would have to be protected and upgraded to the current FAA standards (FAA-C-1391e). It was determined that the most cost-effective solution was to replace the existing conduit and pull boxes and realign the conduit run so that it was a more direct routing with fewer taxiway crossings. This work was included in this project.

RECONSTRUCTION OF EAST GENERAL AVIATION APRON
MAMMOTH YOSEMITE AIRPORT – 2020-2021
The Town of Mammoth Lakes reconstructed the East General Aviation Apron at the Mammoth Yosemite Airport. The PCI of the pavement on the East General Aviation Apron was 68 in 2014 and approximately 48 in 2020. The Pavement Maintenance Management Plan that was completed in 2014 for the Mammoth Yosemite Airport indicated that this pavement section would have a deep-seated subgrade failure in 2027. It was necessary to reconstruct this pavement prior to a complete failure of the subgrade and pavement section.
Mr. Brandley, as well as his team, have extensive experience with the FAA AIP Grant program and has assisted the District successfully to complete many FAA AIP Grant Projects.

CRACK SEAL AND REMARK AIRFIELD PAVEMENTS
VISALIA MUNICIPAL AIRPORT – 2020
The pavement sections on most airfield pavements at the Visalia Municipal Airport are hot mix asphalt surfacing.
Several shrinkage cracks were developing in these pavements caused by age of the pavement and weathering.
To maintain the quality of pavement at the airport and to extend the life of the pavements all the cracks were sealed that had formed on Runway 12-30 (100’ x 6,561.6’), Taxiway D, Taxiway N, and the Cross Taxiways E, F, G, H, J, and K (50’ x 16,950’), Aircraft and Helicopter Parking Aprons (316,800 sq. ft.), Taxilanes (198,300 sq. ft.), and Roads and Parking Lots (203,500 sq. ft.). Brandley Engineering completed the design of the crack seal of all these pavements.
Once the design and plans and specifications were complete, the FAA indicated that there were limited funds available for this project. Our office separated the project into the runway work and the taxiway work and put the project out to bid with a Base Bid (Runway) and an Additive Alternate (Taxiway) to maximize the use of FAA funds. Very favorable bids were received due to a favorable bidding climate. After discussions among the Sponsor, the FAA, and the Brandley Engineering, it was determined to be satisfactory to add the crack sealing of the apron, hangar areas, roads and parking lots by change order.

HANGAR DEVELOPMENT – BUILDING AND SITE WORK
VISALIA MUNICIPAL AIRPORT – 2018-19
Visalia Municipal Airport received a Grant Agreement from the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) under the Community Flexibility Pilot Program for the construction of aircraft hangars. The Visalia Municipal Airport serves general aviation needs in Tulare County. Many aircraft, ranging from the small single-engine aircraft to the business jet aircraft, are based at the Airport. Aircraft owners are desirous of storing their aircraft in hangars and the Airport has a waiting list for hangars from the small single-engine airplanes to the business jets. Brandley Engineering prepared the design and plans and specifications for this project for both the civil work and the building work.
The project was bid with a Base Bid and two Additive Alternates to maximize the funding available under the DOT grant. The Base Bid included one 4-unit corporate hangar building (125’ x 140’), Additive Alternate A included one 8-unit nested tee hangar building, and Additive Alternate B included one 7-unit standard hangar building. There was not enough funding to construct all three buildings based on bids received. The City was desirous of constructing the corporate hangar and the 8-unit nested tee hangar, but the bids received were still over the funding available. Melissa Brandley of Brandley Engineering worked with the contractor for the civil work to negotiate a reduction in prices to bring the total cost within the grant amount available.

UPGRADE AIRFIELD GUIDANCE SIGNS
VISALIA MUNICIPAL AIRPORT – 2019
The existing airfield guidance sign system at Visalia Municipal Airport did not meet current FAA standards. It was necessary to upgrade the sign system to meet these requirements. Brandley Engineering prepared the engineering design and preparation of plans and specifications for this project. The project included furnishing and installing new LED airfield guidance signs, relocating existing airfield guidance signs, and replacing sign panels on existing airfield guidance signs.
A change order was issued during this project for retrofit kits on old existing signs (2009) since the manufacturer no longer provided FAA-approved replacement bulbs for these signs. A retrofit kit was available to convert the existing signs to be compatible with the new style FAA approved bulbs which were readily available. In order to provide the Airport with a FAA compliant Airfield Guidance Sign system, these retrofit kits were installed on all existing ADB airfield guidance signs.

RECONSTRUCT TEE HANGAR TAXILANES
TRACY MUNICIPAL AIRPORT – 2018-19
The City of Tracy retained the services of Brandley Engineering to prepare a Pavement Maintenance Management Plan (PMMP). This study included geotechnical studies, pavement condition surveys, and non-destructive tests and analyses. These studies showed severe cracking of the existing sections of pavement on the runways, cross taxiways, general aviation tie down apron, and tee hangar taxilanes. It was recommended that reconstruction of the pavements at this airport be completed as early as funding became available. Brandley Engineering prepared the engineering design, plans and specifications for the reconstruction of the runways, taxiways, the general aviation apron, and the tie down apron such that plans and specifications were “on the shelf” ready to bid.
The City of Tracy reconstructed the tee hangar taxilanes at Tracy Municipal Airport in 2019. This was the third and final phase of the reconstruction of all pavements at this airport. Brandley Engineering provided the engineering design and construction management of this project. The scope of work of this project was the reconstruction of the tee hangar taxilanes and aprons to the existing hangar area (718,470 sq. ft.).
Existing drainage in the tee hangar development area is sheet flow over the total 300-foot width of the old landing strip at Tracy Municipal Airport. Each of the hangars flooded during any storms that occurred at the airport. The design of the reconstruction of the hangar taxilanes was prepared to eliminate this flooding within the buildings by regrading the pavements between the buildings such that they slope away from the buildings to a swale. New drain lines were installed as needed.

UPGRADE SEGMENTED CIRCLE AND WIND CONE
MAMMOTH YOSEMITE AIRPORT – 2018
The Town of Mammoth Lakes upgraded the existing segmented circle, primary wind cone and supplementary wind cone for Runway 27 at the Mammoth Yosemite Airport. The existing segmented circle and primary wind cone were removed. A new segmented circle and primary wind cone were installed north of Taxiway A. To accommodate snow plow operations, the new segmented circle consists of a 125’ x 160’ x 3” thick asphalt pad with a painted segmented circle. A 12-foot-wide asphaltic concrete access road was constructed from the asphalt pad to the edge of Taxiway A to provide access during the winter months for plowing the snow off the segmented circle pad.
The existing primary wind cone, a L-807 wind cone, was removed and replaced with a L-807 LED wind cone. The existing supplementary wind cone for Runway 27 was removed and a new L-806 LED wind cone was located north of the holding apron and East of Taxiway A1.
