Please explain why you wish to serve on a City of Hanford Commission.* I am passionate about contributing to the betterment of my community. In my 20+ year career in facilities management I have gained several relevant skills and experiences that qualify me for the city planning commission. Some key areas where these professions intersect: 1. Understanding of Infrastructure: Facilities management involves overseeing buildings and physical assets, which has given me a solid understanding of infrastructure needs. This knowledge is crucial for city planning, where consideration of roads, utilities, and public spaces are essential. 2. Project Management Skills: Facilities managers frequently handle projects related to renovations, maintenance, or upgrades. This experience in managing budgets, timelines, and resources transfers well to city planning tasks. 3. Regulatory Knowledge: Facilities management requires familiarity with local building codes, safety regulations, and compliance issues. This experience can help when navigating the regulatory landscape in city planning, where adherence to zoning laws and permits is paramount. 4. Stakeholder Engagement: Facilities managers must communicate with various stakeholders, including employees, contractors, and regulators. This skill is vital in city planning, where engaging with community members, government entities, and business owners is necessary for effective decision-making.

5. Sustainability Practices: Facilities managers focus on energy efficiency and sustainability initiatives. This knowledge is increasingly important in city planning, as urban areas aim to be more sustainable and environmentally friendly in their development strategies. 6. Problem-Solving Skills: Facilities management often involves troubleshooting issues and finding effective solutions to operational challenges. This analytical approach is beneficial in city planning, as it requires addressing complex problems related to urban growth, transportation, and community needs. 7. Experience with Operational Dynamics: Facilities managers understand the daily operational needs of buildings and spaces, which can provide insights into how urban areas function. This perspective can inform city planning decisions about how to improve livability and usability within the community. 8. Collaboration with Multi-Disciplinary Teams: Facilities management often requires working with architects, engineers, and contractors. Similarly, city planning involves collaboration with urban designers, transportation experts, and environmental specialists, making strong teamwork skills essential.

MEETING DATE: 2/3/2026 AGENDA SECTION: CONSENT CALENDAR

SUBJECT:

Approve Resolution 26-06-R authorizing the Mayor to sign letters of support for advocacy items identified by the League of California Cities

RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation: Approve Resolution 26-06-R authorizing the Mayor to sign letters of support for advocacy items identified by the League of California Cities

Recommended Motion: I move to Approve Resolution 2026-XX-R authorizing the Mayor to sign letters of support for advocacy items identified by the League of California Cities.

BACKGROUND:

League of California Cities 2025-26 Advocacy Priorities

1. Protect and enhance local revenues and expand economic development tools. Californians are deeply concerned about affordability. Cities must safeguard local revenue streams, oppose unfunded mandates, and pursue new economic development tools that bolster local economies.

2. Strengthen partnerships with the state to improve public safety. The progress cities have been making to strengthen public safety must be sustained. Cities call on the state to respect the will of the voters and provide the resources needed to fully implement Proposition 36. Cities support sustained investments in police, fire services, and public works as a foundation of public safety.

3. Secure investments to prevent and reduce homelessness and increase the supply of affordable housing. Secure ongoing funding to bolster all cities’ efforts to support unhoused residents and strengthen state and regional partnerships to expand access to wraparound services. Secure ongoing funding to accelerate the construction of affordable housing and reform the Regional Housing Needs Allocation process. Ensure cities have the flexibility and local decision-making authority to meet their community and state housing goals as well as reduce homelessness.

4. Strengthen climate change resiliency and disaster preparedness. Support city efforts to prepare, prevent, and adapt to natural disasters and the impacts of climate change, including wildfires, drought, sea level rise, and other extreme weather events. Increase transparency and access to insurance policies, especially following a natural disaster

These priorities may change overtime. As a member agency, the city will continue to be involved in these efforts and this action will stay in place until rescinded or revised by the City Council.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No immediate impacts due to this action. Future actions related to support by the City in League advocacy efforts may help realize savings or financial benefits to city efforts.

MEETING DATE: 2/3/2026 AGENDA SECTION: CONSENT CALENDAR

SUBJECT:

Waive the 2nd Reading and Adopt Ordinance No. 25-13, approving Prezone No. 0013-24, request to prezone 78.16 acres as R-M Medium-Density Residential and 5.45 acres as MX-N Neighborhood Mixed Use, consistent with General Plan Amendment No. 0009-24 and prezone 51.92 acres as R-L-5 Low-Density Residential and 6.32 acres as C-N Neighborhood Commercial, consistent with the General Plan Designation. The prezone pertains to property located north of Grangeville Boulevard, east of 9 1/4 Avenue (APNs 014-143-022, 014-143-069, 014-143-078, 014-830-010, 014-830-011, and 014-830-013 through -018).

RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation: Staff recommends that the City Council waive the second reading and adopt Ordinance 25-13 approving Prezone 0013-24.

Recommended Motion: I move to waive the second reading and adopt Ordinance 25-13, approving Prezone 0013-24.

BACKGROUND:

On January 20, 2026, the City Council held a public hearing for Annexation 165, General Plan Amendment No. 0009-24, Prezone No. 0013-24, Tentative Tract 945, and PUD 0037-24. During the meeting, the City Council introduced the ordinance and waived the first reading of Ordinance No. 25- 13, associated with Prezone No. 0013-24.

Prezone No. 0013-24, request to prezone 78.16 acres as R-M Medium-Density Residential and 5.45 acres as MX-N Neighborhood Mixed Use, consistent with General Plan Amendment No. 0009-24 and prezone 51.92 acres as R-L-5 Low-Density Residential and 6.32 acres as C-N Neighborhood Commercial, consistent with the General Plan Designation.

Prezone No. 0013-24
(project site outlined in red)

All findings were made by the City Council in accordance with Section 17.86.030 of the Hanford Municipal Code.

1. That the amendment is internally consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies of the General Plan and the Municipal Code.

Analysis: That Prezone No. 0013-24 and General Plan Amendment No. 0009-24 are internally consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies of the General Plan, including Low-Density Residential Policies L31-L33, Medium-Density Residential Policies L34 – L37, Neighborhood Commercial Polices L34-L37, Neighborhood Mixed Use policies L60 – L64, and Annexation Policies L15 and L17. The development proposed in the annexation area, under Tentative Tract 945, conforms with the regulations pertaining to the R-M Medium-Density Residential zone district and MX-N Neighborhood Mixed Use zone district, except where expressly modified under Planned Unit Development No. 0037-24.

2. That the amendment would not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare of the community.

ANALYSIS: That this application has been reviewed by County departments, utility companies, City Fire Department, City Building Department, and other involved departments. Any mitigation required for public health and safety were applied to the proposal and required in the mitigation monitoring and reporting program.

3. That the amendment would maintain the appropriate balance of land uses within the City.

Analysis: That job-housing balance is achieved by increasing opportunities for people to work and live in close proximity. The ratio is expressed as the number of jobs divided by the number of housing units. The jobs-housing balance is a general tool for analyzing where people work, where they live, and how effectively they can travel between the two. In the planning area, the existing jobs-housing balance ratio in 2013-2014 was 1.17. It is estimated that the implementation of the General Plan would increase the jobs-housing balance by 0.45 to 1.62, which would make the planning area a job- rich area.

The prezone of the northern portion of the annexation area is consistent with the General Plan designation, Neighborhood Commercial and Low-Density Residential. The southern portion of the site, the planned development area, proposes to align with the land use designations proposed through General Plan Amendment No. 0007-24, Neighborhood Mixed Use and Medium-Density Residential.

The project proposes the up-zoning of approximately 72.92 acres of Low-Density Residential to Medium-Density Residential and the addition of a 5.45-acre Neighborhood Mixed Use site. The site will increase both housing opportunity and commercial activity, thus maintaining an appropriate balance of land uses within the City.

4. That the anticipated land uses on the subject site would be compatible with existing and future surrounding uses.

Analysis: That the anticipated land uses on the subject site include single-family residences (existing large-lot single family residential and planned small-lot single family), duplexes, low-rise apartments, and neighborhood commercial uses, as proposed under Tentative Tract 945. The anticipated land uses for the annexation area include low-density residential, medium-density residential, and neighborhood commercial and mixed-use development. The anticipated land uses are compatible with the surrounding land uses and planned land uses in the area, which include agricultural land, a future regional park, single-family and multi-family residential.

MEETING DATE: 2/3/2026 AGENDA SECTION: CONSENT CALENDAR

SUBJECT:

Approval of the establishment of a pre-qualified list of Materials Testing and Geotechnical Engineering Consultants to perform on-call professional services as needed, and authorization for the City Manager to execute professional services agreements with the selected firms for On-Call Materials Testing and Geotechnical Consultant Services (RFQ No. 2026-10).

RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation:

Staff recommends that the City Council:

1. Approve the establishment of a pre-qualified list of consultants to provide On-Call Materials Testing and Geotechnical Engineering Services for a three-year period, with the option for up to two (2) one-year extensions; and

2. Authorize the City Manager to execute professional services agreements with the selected firms identified herein, on a work order basis, in accordance with the terms of RFQ No. 2026- 10; and

3. Approve a total combined annual contract amount not to exceed $300,000 for State and Federally funded projects, with a maximum of $900,000 over the initial three-year term. Locally funded projects shall be excluded from this cap and funded on a project-by-project basis.

Recommended Motion:

1. I move to approve the establishment of a pre-qualified list of Materials Testing and Geotechnical Engineering Consultants to perform on-call professional services as needed for a three-year period, with the option for up to two (2) one-year extensions.

2. I move to authorize the City Manager to execute professional services agreements with the selected firms for On-Call Materials Testing and Geotechnical Consultant Services, in accordance with RFQ No. 2026-10, on a work order basis.

3. I move to approve a total combined annual contract amount not to exceed $300,000 for State and Federally funded projects, with a maximum of $900,000 over the initial three-year term.

Locally funded projects shall be excluded from this cap and funded on a project-by-project basis.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Hanford’s existing on-call materials testing and geotechnical services contracts are approaching expiration, necessitating the establishment of new agreements to support the City’s ongoing Capital Improvement Program (CIP), maintenance projects, and grant-funded infrastructure improvements.

The City regularly delivers projects that require specialized geotechnical engineering, construction materials sampling, laboratory testing, and quality assurance services to ensure compliance with local, state, and federal regulations. These services are particularly critical for projects utilizing State or Federal funding, which must adhere to Caltrans Local Assistance Procedures Manual (LAPM) requirements, prevailing wage laws, and Independent Assurance testing standards.

Due to limited in-house staffing capacity and the need for specialized certifications and laboratory facilities, the City relies on qualified consultants to provide these services on an as-needed basis.

Establishing on-call agreements allows the City to respond quickly to project demands, maintain construction schedules, and reduce the administrative burden associated with issuing individual solicitations for each project.

SCOPE OF SERVICES
The on-call agreements will allow the City to obtain a broad range of materials testing and geotechnical services, including but not limited to:
• Construction materials sampling and laboratory testing (concrete, asphalt, soils, aggregates, and structural materials);
• Field inspection and compaction testing;
• Geotechnical investigations, analysis, and reporting; • Quality assurance and Independent Assurance testing in accordance with City and Caltrans requirements;
• Special inspections and construction observation services; and • Technical support for locally funded, State-funded, and Federally funded infrastructure projects.

All work will be assigned through written Work Orders or Mini-RFPs, as applicable, and no work is guaranteed under the on-call agreements.

SELECTION PROCESS
The City issued RFQ No. 2026-10, On-Call Materials Testing & Geotechnical Consultant Services, seeking qualified firms to provide these services for a three-year contract term. Proposals were received through BidNet and evaluated by a City selection committee based on the criteria outlined in the RFQ, including firm qualifications, relevant experience, organizational approach, understanding of the scope of work, and reference checks.

A total of six (6) firms submitted Statements of Qualifications. Following the evaluation process, four (4) firms were identified as the highest-scoring and most qualified to meet the City’s needs. These firms demonstrated strong technical expertise, experience with public agency projects, familiarity with State and Federal requirements, and the ability to respond promptly to on-call service requests. The following firms are recommended for inclusion on the pre-qualified on-call list (listed in no particular order):

• BSK Associates, Inc. – Fresno, CA
• Certerra RMA Group – Fresno, CA
• Krazan and Associates – Clovis, CA
• Blackburn Consulting – Auburn, CA

Establishing a pre-qualified list of on-call materials testing and geotechnical consultants will provide the City with flexibility, cost control, and timely access to essential professional services needed to support ongoing infrastructure investments and regulatory compliance. Staff recommends approval of the proposed agreements to ensure continuity of services and efficient delivery of City projects.

FISCAL IMPACT:

State and Federally Funded Projects:

The total combined amount payable to all on-call consultants for State and Federally funded projects shall not exceed $300,000 annually, with a maximum of $900,000 over the initial three-year term, unless amended and approved by City Council.

Locally Funded Projects:

Locally funded projects are excluded from the annual and total caps. Funding for these services will be allocated on a project-by-project basis within the approved budgets of individual projects.

All Work Orders will be subject to the City’s purchasing authority limits. Projects exceeding the City Manager’s purchasing authority will be brought to City Council for approval.

MEETING DATE: 2/3/2026 AGENDA SECTION: CONSENT CALENDAR

SUBJECT:

Approval a contract with VANIR Construction Management, Inc. for On Call Construction Inspector Services for the months of February through April 2026 at a Not to Exceed cost of $85,500; and, Authorization for the City Manager to extend services for up to nine additional months at an estimated $29,380 per month if services are still required.

RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation:

That the City Council, by motion,

1. Authorize the City Manager to approve a three month contract with VANIR Construction Management, Inc. of Fresno CA in the amount of $88,140 (estimated $29,380 per month) for Construction Inspector services for the months of February through April 2026; and

2. Authorize the City Manager to approve extended Construction Inspection services with VANIR Construction Management, Inc. to provide services for up to an additional nine months at an estimated $29,380 per month.

Recommended Motion:

I make a motion to:

1. Authorize the City Manager to approve a three month contract with VANIR Construction Management, Inc. of Fresno CA in the amount of $88,140 for Construction Inspector services for the months of February, March, and April 2026; and

2. Authorize the City Manager to approve extended Construction Inspection services with VANIR Construction Management, Inc. to provide services for up to an additional nine months at an estimated $29,380 per month.

BACKGROUND:

The Utilities and Engineering Department typically has two Construction Inspectors on staff.

Due to one of the existing inspector staff currently being out on medical leave since June 2025, the division has been short-staffed with only one Construction Inspector available to perform inspection

duties throughout the city. With the large amount of development and permitting, including current ongoing Capital Improvement projects including Water Well 51 and 52, a Traffic Signal at 12th Avenue and Hume Avenue, and multiple Measure H street improvement projects, staff has been forced to seek third-party on-call inspection services from consulting firms to fulfill the need.

The Construction Inspector's duties include directing and performing quality assurance and quality control of the construction phase, and inspection of construction actives affecting City facilities.

Examples of duties are to perform project management duties, constructability reviews, and inspections for public works capital improvement projects, and private and commercial projects; to ensure work performed in the public right-of-way meets City standards; to provide detailed written reports of work activities and issues; performing a variety of tasks and various research involved in the plan checking, investigation, quality control, quality assurance, and other project management related services as required, which are all critical aspects of all projects.

With the large amount of development occurring in the city, construction inspections are important and required to assure that City Engineering and construction standards are followed.

Once the city takes ownership of constructed improvements, the city is responsible for all future maintenance and repairs including any possible substandard construction.

Over the last 6 months, staff has reached out to multiple sources, including the City's on-call consultants to find construction inspection services and availability. In the past, staff was successful in utilizing two available consultants to provide services (4Creeks & Yamabe Horn). With these contracts expiring, and due to the limited availabilities and prior commitments of these firms, staff was able to receive a proposal from VANIR Construction Management team to provide Construction Inspection services. The consultant provides their own vehicle and inspection equipment, which limits the City's liability for auto coverage and usage of city vehicles. For three months of services, February through April, the estimated cost for Construction Inspection services per month is $29,380.

Costs will be billed on a Time and Materials basis, not to exceed the initial three month contract cost of $85,500.

Staff is additionally requesting approval to authorize the City Manager to approve future change orders to the contract with VANIR to provide up to nine additional months of Construction Inspection services until potential return to work orders are received.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Construction inspection services are paid for by various capital improvement project budgets and through private development Engineering and Inspections Fees paid by the developer. Inspectors log their time towards these projects and costs are billed directly to the various projects for reimbursement.

AGENDA

STAFF REPORT

MEETING DATE: 2/3/2026 AGENDA SECTION: CONSENT CALENDAR

SUBJECT:

Authorize the City Manager to award a construction contract for The Plunge Slide Pool Repairs to Burkett’s Pool Plastering, Inc, of Ripon, CA, in the amount of $58,152.00.

RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation: It is recommended that the City Council authorize the award of a construction contract for the replacement of the pool skimmers, drains, tile, guardrail adjustment, and plastering of the slide pool to Burkett’s Pool Plastering, Inc, of Ripon, CA, for the base bid amount of $58,152, per specifications of RFB 2026-12 Plunge Competition Pool and Slide Pool Repairs.

Recommended Motion: I move to award a construction contract for the replacement of the pool skimmers, drains, tile, guardrail adjustment, and plastering of the slide pool, to Burkett’s Pool Plastering, Inc. in the amount of $58,152.

BACKGROUND:

The Plunge slide pool and slide structure were constructed in 1992 and since then the City of Hanford has completed several renovation and repair projects to keep the amenity in compliance with the California Department of Industrial Relations (DIR), Amusement Ride and Tramway (ART) Unit and the Virginia Graeme Baker Act pertaining to the pool drains and skimmers. Some of these renovations have included repairing the concrete support piers in 2013, the replacement of the stairway in 2016, a new water booster pump, with water meter, to ensure proper water flow in the slide in 2017, and replacement of the pool main drains.

The pool drain frame and skimmers are now over 30 years old. The drain frame will no longer accept the hardware to fasten the pool drain covers, making the pool non-compliant with the Virginia Graeme Baker Act, while the skimmers have deteriorated and require replacement. These repairs necessitate cutting into concrete and removing existing plaster. While this work is underway, staff proposes addressing other aging infrastructure, including replacement of the pool tile, relocation of the guardrail, and re-plastering of the slide pool.

Due to the scope of work required to bring the slide pool into compliance, staff created a Request for Bids (RFB 2026-12). As part of this solicitation, re-plastering of the competition pool, last completed in 2017 as part of the pool deck renovation project, was also included as an alternate bid item. Staff determined that combining the plaster work in both areas could reduce mobilization costs and proactively address future maintenance needs before the competition pool plaster significantly degrades.

On November 28, 2025, the City solicited bids by posting the RFB on BidNet. BidNet provides contractors access to all project documents, addenda, plan holder lists, and award information through the California Purchasing Group website.

On December 10, 2025, a non-mandatory pre-bid meeting was held at The Plunge. Staff were present to review the bid specifications, review the mandatory requirements imposed by the State of California Department of Industrial Relations, and answer any questions. Several contractors attended the pre-bid meeting.

On January 8, 2026, the City received bids from five (5) contractors (bid summary below). Burkett’s Pool Plastering, Inc, of Ripon, CA. was the qualified low bidder for the Plunge Slide Pool Repairs Project.

• Burkett’s Pool Plastering, Inc, of Ripon, CA $254,023.00 • Adams Pool Solutions, of Pleasanton, CA $256,921.00 • Dave Gross Enterprises Inc, of Sacramento, CA $292,758.00 • USA Construction LLC, of Los Angeles, CA $411,480.00 • Ultimate Pool Remodeling, Inc of Riverside, CA $422,473.00

After reviewing the bids, staff determined that inclusion of the competition pool plastering would significantly impact the project budget and reduce available funding for RFB 2026-13 – Plunge Mechanical Repairs. Given the current condition of the competition pool plaster and funding constraints, staff recommends awarding RFB 2026-12 at the base bid amount of $58,152, which excludes the competition pool plastering alternate.

This project requires a Public Works maintenance contract and, therefore, is subject to State of California prevailing wages, registration with the Department of Industrial Relations and submission of certified payroll to the Labor Commissioner as well as other requirements outlined in the City’s Labor Compliance Manual which was a part of the specifications.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The Plunge Remodel project is multi-funded using the Aquatics Capital/Equipment Replacement Reserve Fund and General Fund with a total appropriation of $425,014. The remaining available funds of this project are sufficient to cover the cost of the slide pool repairs for $58,152. RFB 2026-11 has been previously awarded (12/16/25) in the amount of $75,764 with RFB 2026-13 Plunge Mechanical Repairs awaiting project costs.

The City Council, however, reserves the right to reject any or all bids and to waive any informality or irregularity in bids received. The City Council also reserves the right to reject the bid of any bidder who has previously failed to perform properly or did not complete on time contracts with the City of Hanford of a nature similar to this project.

Such an award, if made, will be made within sixty (60) days after the opening of the proposals. All bids will be compared on the basis of the Engineer's Estimate of the quantities of work to be done.

2. Contract Bonds

The successful bidder shall furnish a good and sufficient bond listed in the Federal Register and executed by an "Admitted Surety Insurer," in the amount of one hundred percent (100%) of the total bid amount to guarantee the faithful performance of the contract by the Contractor, and a second bond.

Pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 995.120, an “Admitted Surety Insurer” is defined as a corporate insurer or a reciprocal or inter-insurance exchange to which the Insurance Commissioner of the State of California has issued a Certifica te of Authority to transact surety insurance in the State of California.

If the second lowest responsible , responsive bidder refuses or fails to execute the contract, the Council may award the contract to the third lowest responsible, responsive bidder.

(1) A certified copy of an employee's payroll record shall be made available for inspection or furnished to the employee or his or her authorized representative on request.

(2) A certified copy of all payroll records enumerated in subdivision (a) shall be made available for inspection or furnished upon request to a representative of the body awarding the contract, the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement, and the Division of Apprenticeship Standards of the Department of Industrial Relations.

(3) A certified copy of all payroll records enumerated in subdivision (a) shall be made available upon request by the public for inspection or for copies thereof. However, a request by the public shall be made through either the body awarding the contract, the Division of Apprenticeship Standards, or the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement.

If the requested payroll records have not been provided pursuant to paragraph (2), the requesting party shall, prior to being provided the records, reimburse the costs o f preparation by the contractor, subcontractors, and the entity through which the request was made.

The name and address of the contractor awarded the contract or the subcontractor performing the contract shall not be marked or obliterated. Any copy of records made available for inspection by, or furnished to, a joint labor -management committee established pursuant to the federal Labor Management Cooperation Act of 1978 (29 U.S.C. Sec. 175a) shall be marked or obliterated only to prevent disclosure of an individual's name and social security number.

Upon the request of the Division of Apprenticeship Standards or the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement, these penalties shall be withheld from progress payments then due. A contractor is not subject to a penalty assessment pursuant to this section due to the failure of a subcontractor to comply with this section.

H. The body awarding the contract shall cause to be inserted in the contract stipulations to effectuate this section.

I. The director shall adopt rules consistent with the California Public Records Act (Chapter 3.5 (commencing with Section 6250) of Division 7 of Title 1 of the Government Code) and the Information Practices Act of 1977 (Title 1.8 (commencing with Section 1798) of Part 4 of Division 3 of the Civil Code) governing the release of these records, including the establishment of reasonable fees to be charged for reproducing copies of records required by this section.

PART 3 LABOR CODE SECTION 1777.5 - EMPLOYMENT OF PROPERLY REGISTERED

APPRENTICES

A. Nothing in this chapter shall prevent the employment of properly registered apprentices upon public works.

B. Every apprentice employed upon public works shall be paid the prevailing rate of per diem wages for apprentices in the trade to which he or she is registered and shall be employed only at the work of the craft or trade to which he or she is registered.

C. Only apprentices, as defined in Section 3077, who are in training under apprenticeship standards that have been approved by the Chief of the Division of Apprenticeship Standards and who are parties to written apprentice agreements under Chapter 4 (commencing with Section 3070) of Division 3 are eligible to be employed at the apprentice wage rate on public works. The employment and training of each apprentice shall be in accordance with either of the following:

(1) The apprenticeship standards and apprentice agreements under which he or she is training.
(2) The rules and regulations of the California Apprenticeship Council.

D. When the contractor to whom the contract is awarded by the state or any political subdivision, in performing any of the work under the contract, employs workers in any apprenticeable craft or trade, the contractor shall employ apprentices in at least the ratio set forth in this section and

RFB 2026-12
Plunge Competition Pool and Slide Pool Repairs
40 may apply to any apprenticeship program in the craft or trade that can provide apprentices to the site of the public work for a certificate approving the contractor under the apprenticeship standards for the employment and training of apprentices in the area or industry affected.

However, the decision of the apprenticeship program to approve or deny a certificate shall be subject to review by the Administrator of Apprenticeship. The apprenticeship program or programs, upon approving the contractor, shall arrange for the dispatch of apprentices to the contractor. A contractor covered by an apprenticeship program's standards shall not be required to submit any additional application in order to include additional public works contracts under that program. "Apprenticeable cr aft or trade," as used in this section, means a craft or trade determined as an apprenticeable occupation in accordance with rules and regulations prescribed by the California Apprenticeship Council. As used in this section, "contractor" includes any subcontractor under a contractor who performs any public works not excluded by subdivision (o).

E. Prior to commencing work on a contract for public works, every contractor shall submit contract award information to an applicable apprenticeship program that can supply apprentices to the site of the public work. The information submitted shall include an estimate of journeyman hours to be performed under the contract, the number of apprentices proposed to be employed, and the approximate dates the apprentices would be employed. A copy of this information shall also be submitted to the awarding body if requested by the awarding body.

Within 60 days after concluding work on the contract, each contractor and subcontractor shall submit to the awarding body, if requ ested, and to the apprenticeship program a verified statement of the journeyman and apprentice hours performed on the contract. The information under this subdivision shall be public. The apprenticeship programs shall retain this information for 12 months.

F. The apprenticeship program that can supply apprentices to the area of the site of the public work shall ensure equal employment and affirmative action in apprenticeship for women and minorities.

G. The ratio of work performed by apprentices to journeymen employed in a particular craft or trade on the public work may be no higher than the ratio stipulated in the apprenticeship standards under which the apprenticeship program operates where the contractor agrees to be bound by those standards, but, except as otherwise provided in this section, in no case shall the ratio be less than one hour of apprentice work for every five hours of journeyman work.

H. This ratio of apprentice work to journeyman work shall apply during any day or portion of a day when any journeyman is employed at the jobsite and shall be computed on the basis of the hours worked during the day by journeymen so employed. Any work performed by a journeyman in excess of eight hours per day or 40 hours per week shall not be used to calculate the ratio.

The contractor shall employ apprentices for the number of hours computed as above before the end of the contract or, in the case of a subcontractor, before the end of the subcontract.

However, the contractor shall endeavor, to the greatest extent possible, to employ apprentices during the same time period that the journeymen in the same craft or trade are employed at the jobsite. Where an hourly apprenticeship ratio is not feasible for a particu lar craft or trade, the Chief of the Division of Apprenticeship Standards, upon application of an apprenticeship program, may order a minimum ratio of not less than one apprentice for each five journeymen in a craft or trade classification.

RFB 2026-12
Plunge Competition Pool and Slide Pool Repairs
41 I. A contractor covered by this section that has agreed to be covered by an apprenticeship program's standards upon the issuance of the approval certificate, or that has been previously approved for an apprenticeship program in the craft or trade, shall emplo y the number of apprentices or the ratio of apprentices to journeymen stipulated in the applicable apprenticeship standards, but in no event less than the 1-to-5 ratio required by subdivision (g).

J. Upon proper showing by a contractor that he or she employs apprentices in a particular craft or trade in the state on all of his or her contracts on an annual average of not less than one hour of apprentice work for every five hours of labor performed by journeymen, the Chief of the Division of Apprenticeship Standards may grant a certificate exempting the contractor from the 1-to-5 hourly ratio, as set forth in this section for that craft or trade.

K. An apprenticeship program has the discretion to grant a certificate to a participating contractor or contractor association , which shall be subject to the approval of the Administrator of Apprenticeship, exempting the contractor from the 1-to-5 ratio set forth in this section when it finds that any one of the following conditions is met:

(1) Unemployment for the previous three-month period in the area exceeds an average of 15 percent.

(2) The number of apprentices in training in the area exceeds a ratio of 1 to 5.

(3) There is a showing that the apprenticeable craft or trade is replacing at least one- thirtieth of its journeymen annually through apprenticeship training, either on a statewide basis or on a local basis.

(1) Assignment of an apprentice to any work performed under a public works contract would create a condition that would jeopardize his or her life or the life, safety, or property of fellow employees or the public at large, or the specific task to which the apprentice is to be assigned is of a nature that training cannot be provided by a journeyman.

L. When an exemption is granted pursuant to subdivision (k) to an organization that represents contractors in a specific trade from the 1-to-5 ratio on a local or statewide basis, the member contractors shall not be required to submit individual applications for approval to local joint apprenticeship committees, if they are already covered by the local apprenticeship standards.

(1) A contractor to whom a contract is awarded, who, in performing any of the work under the contract, employs journeymen or apprentices in any apprenticeable craft or trade shall contribute to the California Apprenticeship Council. The same amount that the director determines is the prevailing amount of apprenticeship training contributions in the area of the public works site. A contractor may take as credit for payments to the council any amounts paid by the contractor to an approved apprenticeship program that can supply apprentices to the site of the public works project. The contractor may add the amount of the contributions in computing his or her bid for the contract.

(2) At the conclusion of the 2002- 03 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter, the California Apprenticeship Council shall distribute training contributions received by the

RFB 2026-12
Plunge Competition Pool and Slide Pool Repairs
42 council under this subdivision, less the expenses of the Division of Apprenticeship Standards for administering this subdivision, by making grants to approved apprenticeship programs for the purpose of training apprentices. The funds shall be distributed as follows:

M. If there is an approved multiemployer apprenticeship program serving the same craft or trade and geographic area for which the training contributions were made to the council, a grant to that program shall be made.

N. If there are two or more approved multiemployer apprenticeship programs serving the same craft or trade and geographic area for which the training contributions were made to the council, the grant shall be divided among those programs based on the number of apprentices registered in each program.

O. All training contributions not distributed under subparagraphs (A) and (B) shall be used to defray the future expenses of the Division of Apprenticeship Standards.

PART 4 LABOR CODE SECTION 1810 - DEFINITION: A LEGAL DAY’S WORK

AGENDA

STAFF REPORT

MEETING DATE: 2/3/2026 AGENDA SECTION: GENERAL BUSINESS

SUBJECT:

Authorization to award a contract to Rincon Consultants, Inc., for an amount not to exceed $189,277.00 for preparation of an Agricultural Mitigation Program and Feasibility Study

RECOMMENDATION:

Award a contract to Rincon Consultants, Inc., for an amount not to exceed $189,277.00 for preparation of an Agricultural Mitigation Program (AMP) and Feasibility Study.

Recommended Motion: I move to approve the awarding of a contract to Rincon Consultants, Inc., for an amount not to exceed $189,277.00 for preparation of an Agricultural Mitigation Program (AMP) and Feasibility Study.

BACKGROUND:

Project History

In April 2017, the City Council approved the Hanford General Plan Update and certified an Environmental Impact Report. The establishment of agricultural land mitigation was one topic discussion, which formed the basis for general plan Policy O5:

Policy O5 Farmland Mitigation Program

In collaboration with the County of Kings and other cities in Kings County, determine the feasibility and, if feasible, consider adoption of a countywide farmland mitigation program that is tailored to the needs and goals of the Kings County agricultural region to mitigate the urban conversion of agricultural lands that are outside adopted urban growth boundaries.

In addition to Policy O5, the General Plan Final EIR identifies Mitigation Measure 4.2-1:

MM 4.2-1: COLLABORATE ON DEVELOPMENT OF COUNTYWIDE FARMLAND MITIGATION

PROGRAM

The City shall work with the County of Kings and other cities in Kings County to consider adoption of a countywide farmland mitigation program that is tailored to the needs and goals of the Kings County agricultural region to mitigate the urban conversion of agricultural lands that are outside adopted urban growth boundaries. Specific performance criteria for the development of the countywide farmland mitigation program shall include:

• The City shall take the lead in forming a committee that consists of the County of Kings and other cities’ representatives to develop the program by January 2019.

• The City shall develop and sign a Memorandum of Understanding or other applicable agreement with County of Kings and the other cities in Kings County to work collaboratively in developing the program by January 2020.

• The City shall develop and sign a Memorandum of Understanding with Department of Conservation in the development of the program by January 2020.

• By January 2022, if a program has been developed, the City shall implement the agreed upon program and codify the adopted program language into its Municipal Code.

• If by January 2022, the program has not been developed, the City shall independently develop its own program and codify the adopted program language into its Municipal Code by 2023.

Request for Proposals

Per Council direction, City staff circulated a Request for Proposals on September 24, 2025 for the Agricultural Mitigation Program (AMP) and Feasibility Study. The Request for Proposals identified the following design and engineering tasks:

1. Meet with the City to conduct a kick-off meeting to identify individuals responsible for RFP tasks, refine plan details, formalize a timeline based on all available information, and discuss data needs.

2. Identify items including (but not limited to) best practices for farmland preservation programs, examples of other programs within the state, and additional relevant background information.

3. Create an inventory of local farmland, soil types, irrigation and other relevant data points that impact or represent agricultural operations and production. In addition, economic and demographic data including, but not limited to, average farm size, industry trends, land use patterns, existing and planned infrastructure and environmental issues should be collected and analyzed. Identify any agricultural easement programs adopted by any nearby cities. Research may include interviews of stakeholders such as development community members, engaged community members, agricultural landowners, local land trusts, other local and regional agencies, and City staff that will implement the process.

4. Organize a program to secure the permanent preservation of Prime Farmland and Farmland of Statewide Importance within the southern San Joaquin Valley (i.e. Fresno, Kings, Tulare, and Kern Counties) on a 1:1 ratio when Prime Farmland and Farmland of Statewide Importance is being converted.

5. To ensure the policies identified within the adopted General Plan are specifically addressed, the consultant shall provide a discussion for each policy, standard or measure in the AMP regarding:

1. How the policy, standard or measure would minimize a potential detrimental effect caused by urban development;

b. Whether and how the policy, standard or measure would assist in avoiding the premature

conversion of Prime Farmland and Farmland of Statewide Importance;

c. How the policy, standard or measure would be integrated into the entitlement process; and,

d. How the policy, standard or measure would be enforced through the regulatory environment.

6. To ensure the minimum implementation measures identified within the adopted General Plan are addressed, the consultant shall incorporate the following measures into the proposed plan:

a. A provision designating the Community Development Department as the department responsible for the preparation and implementation of the AMP, when adopted.

b. Preparation of a report template to accommodate an annual monitoring report to the City Council describing implementation of the final AMP.

c. The creation of a community outreach program to encourage current agricultural landowners’ continued participation in programs that preserve farmland, including the Williamson Act, conservation easements, and USDA-funded conservation practices.

d. As part of the program, incorporate use of the Land Evaluation and Site Assessment (LESA) model into the City’s land use entitlement application process for farmland proposed for conversion.

e. Develop a mitigation program where the applicant shall provide documentation satisfactory to the City that demonstrates that applicant has entered into a binding agreement with one or more property owners or a third-party organization (such as a land trust) to permanently preserve farmland equivalent in acreage to the farmland proposed for annexation into the City.

The agreement shall identify an irrevocable instrument that will be recorded against the preserved property.

f. The mitigation program may include an in-lieu fee program consistent with the requirements of the Mitigation Fee Act that would require applicants seeking to annex farmland within Hanford equivalent to the cost of preserving important farmland on a 1:1 basis with land converted to urban uses. The City shall use the fees to fund an irrevocable instrument (e.g. an easement) to permanently preserve farmlands via a Trust for Farmland Funds Disbursements.

g. The creation of (or direct linkage to) a database containing a current list of organizations and owners of farmland that can facilitate the acquisition of conservation easements so as not to unduly delay the annexation of the land into the City and completion of the proposed development.

7. The consultant shall provide staff with an analysis on an AMP’s fiscal impact upon residential construction and homebuyer costs and the efficacy and necessity of an AMP. As part of this analysis, the consultant shall engage in discussion with the City Attorney’s office regarding the review and legal sufficiency of an AMP. This information shall be researched and provided in a Feasibility Study together with the AMP for the Planning Commission and City Council’s consideration.

8. The consultant shall provide staff with both an Administrative Draft Plan/Study and a Public Review Draft Plan/Study.

9. The consultant will be responsible for preparation of all documents, in both draft and final forms, as required by the Mitigation Fee Act and City requirements under contract. It is anticipated that such documents will include the following (in multiple copies):

1. Administrative Draft Plan for staff review.
b. Public Review Draft Plan for public distribution.
c. Final Draft screen check document for staff review.
d. Final documents for City Council and public distribution, including electronic files in Word, Excel, Adobe Acrobat files, etc. (Programs to be used must be discussed prior to utilization to ensure City consistency.)
e. Attendance at a minimum of three (3) public outreach meetings, in addition to two Planning Commission meetings and two City Council meetings.
f. Display materials for all presentations, public hearings, and meetings. g. Prepare accompanying California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) documentation for public review and adoption at the time of Agricultural Mitigation Program Adoption.

The City received two proposals by the October 29, 2025 deadline.

Evaluation and Selection Process

As part of the evaluation and selection process, the City established a review committee to score the written proposals based on the following criteria:

1. Merit of Proposal / Presentation

2. Knowledge and Expertise

3. Understanding of Project

4. Record of Past Performance

Each review committee member provided a score based on the adopted scoring criteria and final scores were determined by averaging the scores of each committee member.
