Submitted by: Mark Prestwich, City Manager
Michael Arellano, Chief of Police;
☐ Receive and File ☐ Consent Calendar ☐ Business Item ☒ Public Hearing
TITLE:
An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Hemet, California, Adding Article VII to Chapter 46 of the Hemet Municipal Code Related to Catalytic Converters
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
It is respectfully recommended that the City Council:
1. Open a public hearing and take testimony, if any; and
2. Waive full reading, read by title only, and introduce an Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Hemet, California, Adding Article VII to Chapter 46 of the Hemet Municipal Code Related to Catalytic Converters.
BACKGROUND:
Catalytic converters are an external component of a vehicle, accessible from the underside of a parked car. They convert most of a vehicle’s emissions into less harmful forms, improving air quality and vehicle performance. As part of their construction, catalytic converters contain valuable materials such as platinum and palladium, rare metals that command ever-increasing prices on the recyclables market.
Catalytic converter thefts are on the rise because individuals are incentivized to commit catalytic converter thefts for multiple reasons, including:
1. The ease and undetectable nature of committing such thefts, potentially in a matter of seconds and through the use of common tools such as a reciprocating saw;
2. The ability to recycle catalytic converters at scrap metal yards for high-dollar returns ranging from $200 to $1,200 per catalytic converter; and
3. Loopholes in legislation protect criminals from prosecution unless a victim can be identified.
In 2022, there were at least 200 reported thefts of catalytic converters in Riverside County, and, as of July 1, 2023, there were at least 316 reports by victims.
14.A
ANALYSIS:
Finding the victim of these crimes is extremely difficult due to the manner in which the catalytic converter thefts occur and the lack of identifying markers on catalytic converters to link a stolen catalytic converter to the victim. The inability to identify the victims of catalytic converter thefts can inhibit the ability to prosecute individuals for the thefts successfully.
The proposed ordinance is necessary to provide the City, in conjunction with the County of Riverside and other surrounding cities, a means to protect the public, deter this criminal activity, and promote a more productive use of Hemet resources. The purpose and intent of this ordinance is to curb the theft of catalytic converters throughout the City and to provide the City with reasonable means to address the impact on the community and the victims posed by increasing catalytic converter thefts.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
None.
STRATEGIC PLAN INTEGRATION:
GOAL ONE: QUALITY OF LIFE:

Exhibit “A”
Article VII Chapter 46
Unlawful Possession of a Catalytic Converter
46-110 Findings and Purpose.
46-111 Definitions.
46-112 Unlawful Possession of a Catalytic Converter.
46-113 Violation and Enforcement.
46-110 Findings and Purpose.
The City Council of Hemet finds that the theft of catalytic converters has been an increasing problem in Hemet in recent years. In Riverside County, there were at least 200 reports of catalytic converter thefts in 2022 and, as of July 1, 2023, there were at least 316 reports by victims. The external location of catalytic converters and the use of valuable precious metals, including rhodium, palladium and platinum, in catalytic converters makes these devices a target for thieves. Individuals in possession of stolen catalytic converters often recycle them for substantial profit, while victims of these thefts suffer the consequences of paying thousands of dollars in repairs, the inconvenience of repairing their vehicles, and feeling unsafe in the community. Finding the victim of these crimes is extremely difficult due to the manner in which the catalytic converter thefts occur and lack of identifying markers on catalytic converters to link a stolen catalytic converter to the victim. The inability to identify the victims of catalytic converter thefts can inhibit the ability to successfully prosecute individuals for the thefts. This ordinance is necessary to provide the City, in conjunction with the County of Riverside and other surrounding cities, a means to protect the public, deter this criminal activity and promote a more productive use of Hemet resources. The purpose and intent of this ordinance is to curb the theft of catalytic converters throughout the City and to provide the City with reasonable means to address the impact on the community and the victims posed by increasing catalytic converter thefts.
46-111 Definitions.
As used in this ordinance, the following terms shall have the following meanings:
a. “Catalytic converter” means any exhaust emission control device, or portion thereof, that converts toxic gases and pollutants in exhaust gas from an internal combustion engine into less-toxic pollutants.
b. “City” means the City of Hemet.
c. “Council” means the City Council of Hemet. d. “Documentation or other proof” means written document(s) clearly identifying the vehicle from which the catalytic converter originated based on the totality of the circumstances, which includes, but is not limited to, the following types of documents:
14.A
1. Bill of sale from the original owner with photographs.
2. Verifiable documentation from an auto-body shop proving the owner relinquished the catalytic converter to the auto-body shop.
3. Verifiable electronic communication from the previous owner to the possessor relinquishing ownership of the catalytic converter.
4. Photographs of the vehicle from which the catalytic converter originated.
5. Vehicle registration associated with the catalytic converter containing an etched associated license plate number or vehicle identification number or driver’s license number of registered vehicle owner.
e. Lawful Possession. This term includes: (1) being the lawful owner of the catalytic converter or (2) being in possession of the catalytic converter with the lawful owner's verifiable written consent. It is not required to prove the catalytic converter was stolen to establish the possession is an Unlawful Possession.
f. Enforcement Officer. The Chief of Police, the City Manager, Code Enforcement, or Building Official, and any of their designees. 46-112 Unlawful Possession of a Catalytic Converter.
Barring any provision of state law permitting the same, it is unlawful for any person to possess any catalytic converter which is not attached and an operable part of a vehicle unless the person has a verifiable valid proof of ownership of the catalytic converter. a. This section does not apply to a detached catalytic converter that has been verifiably tested, certified, and labeled or otherwise approved for reuse, and is being bought or sold for purposes of reuse in accordance with the federal Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. § 7401 et seq.) and regulations under the Clean Air Act, as they may be amended from time to time.
b. It is unlawful for any person to knowingly falsify or cause to be falsified any information in a record intended to show valid proof of ownership. c. Evidence of unlawful possession may be presumed by the number of detached catalytic converters within one’s possession and/or by the condition of the dismantled catalytic converter(s), including but not limited to, the manner a catalytic converter has been detached or cut from a vehicle. 46-113 Violation and Enforcement.
a. Misdemeanor Penalty. Any person who violates any provision of this ordinance is guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction shall be punished by a fine not exceeding one thousand dollars ($1,000), or by imprisonment in the county jail for a term not exceeding one year, or by both. Upon any second or subsequent
14.A

TITLE:
City of Hemet Budget Adjustments for the Month of January 2024
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
It is respectfully recommended that the City Council:
Receive and file the City of Hemet Budget Adjustments for the Month of January 2024.
BACKGROUND:
As stated in Section 2 of the City of Hemet Resolution 2023-115, the City Manager is authorized to transfer budgeted amounts between Divisions and accounts with the same Department and Fund over the course of the fiscal year covered by the Budget so long as such transfer is reported to the City Council within 45 days.
ANALYSIS:
In general, budget adjustments are not posted to the July reporting period. For financial reporting purposes, the month of July needs to be absent of modification, as this is the month that reflects the "Original Budget" and is the basis for all comparative analytics used during the fiscal year.
Quantitatively significant adjustments are typically those that require Council approval.
Below are the January adjustments posted into the City's financial software.

TITLE:
A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Hemet, California, Approving an Agreement for Repair Services between the City of Hemet and Optima Energy, Inc. for the Heartland Lighting and Landscape Maintenance District (LLMD) Streetlight Vandalism Repair in the Amount of $61,185 including an Approximate 10% Contingency and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute all Documents Related to the Agreement and Authorizing the Administrative Services Director to Establish a Supplemental Appropriation in the Amount of $61,185 from Fund 227 Fund Balance to Account 227-8265-2710.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
It is respectfully recommended that the City Council:
Adopt a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Hemet, California, Approving an Agreement for Repair Services between the City of Hemet and Optima Energy, Inc. for the Heartland Lighting and Landscape Maintenance District (LLMD) Streetlight Vandalism Repair in the Amount of $61,185 including an Approximate 10% Contingency and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute all Documents Related to the Agreement and Authorizing the Administrative Services Director to Establish a Supplemental Appropriation in the Amount of $61,185 from Fund 227 Fund Balance to Account 227-8265-2710.
BACKGROUND:
The Facility Maintenance Division of the Public Works Department maintains approximately 4,312 streetlights throughout the City of Hemet. With the WRCOG joint venture, the current streetlight infrastructure has been upgraded to energy-saving LED lights. The streetlight infrastructure provides lighting secure and safe a provide help to pathways and neighborhoods, roadways, the for environment for residents and visitors.
Over the past several years, the City of Hemet has seen a dramatic increase in the number of underground copper wire theft incidents that have significantly impacted its street lighting network.
The outlying areas of the City are being impacted the most. The Heartland LLMD's streetlights located on Florida Ave., California Ave., and Tres Cerritos St. underground copper wires have been
16.A
stolen several times over the last few years. The copper wire is an attractive commodity because it very valuable and thieves can recycle it for cash.
The existing pathway lights are low-pressure sodium bulbs that are being phased out. The City has determined that converting the low-pressure sodium bulbs to LED is appropriate at this time and has been included in this wire replacement project. This conversion will save energy, ensure replacement bulbs are available, and result in better illumination.
ANALYSIS:
After conducting research, City staff is recommending to replace the stolen copper wiring with aluminum wiring. Other cities that have converted to aluminum wiring have reported less wire theft.
The pros to using aluminum wiring is that it costs half the price of copper wiring and therefore it is less valuable to vandals which will deter them from stealing it. Changing from copper wiring to aluminum wiring does not effect the lighting illumination.
In an effort to ensure that the City is receiving cost effective services, City staff administered a competitive Invitation for Bid (IFB) on January 31, 2024. On February 22, 2024 the City received two bids. The following table summarizes the bid results:
Bidder Total Bid
Optima Energy, Inc $55,620.18
Baran Electric $80,000.00
City staff has evaluated the bids and determined that Optima Energy, Inc. is the lowest, responsive, and responsible bidder. Optima Energy, Inc. provides energy-efficient consultation and expedient installation services for multifamily, commercial, and industrial properties in southern California and beyond. They have completed lighting retrofit work for the University of Southern California, California State University Northridge, and USC-KECK Medical Hospital.
DISCUSSION:
Staff is recommending an award of an agreement in the amount of $55,620.18 to Optima Energy, Inc. so that the street lights on Florida Ave., California Ave. and Tres Cerritos St. can be fully repaired and operational, to provide lighting and security for Hemet residents and visitors.
Authorization by the City Council is required for this agreement because the recommended award amount exceeds the City Manager's authority per the procurement policy. City staff has checked the references of Optima Energy, Inc. and all of their references have stated that they were satisfied with their performance.
STRATEGIC PLAN INTEGRATION:
GOAL ONE: QUALITY OF LIFE:
To ensure that Hemet is safe, clean, attractive and comfortable for all who live, work, and visit.
Objective 1: Enhance the visual appearance of the community to make it attractive and reduce blight.
Objective 3: Increase Public Safety visibility and response.
16.A
GOAL FIVE: ORGANIZATIONAL EFFECTIVENESS
To identify the work needed inside the City organization to effectively provide services to the community and ensure financial stability.
Objective 1: Operate in a financially sustainable manner.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no General Fund impact. It is recommended a supplemental appropriation be made in the amount of $61,185, including an approximately 10% contingency, from the existing Fund Balance of Fund 227 which has a current balance of $1,989,681.
ALTERNATIVE(S):
1. Do not authorize the Agreement of Services.
2. Provide alternate direction to the City Manager.

(c) To the extent applicable, Vendor’s Services must account for, and fully comply with, all local, state and federal laws, rules and regulations that may impact water quality compliance, including, without limitation, all applicable provisions of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (33 U.S.C. §§ 1300); the California Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act (Cal Water Code §§ 13000-14950); laws, rules and regulations of the Environmental Protection Agency, the State Water Resources Control Board and the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board; the City’s ordinances regulating discharges of storm water; and any and all regulations, policies, or permits issued pursuant to any such authority regulating the discharge of pollutants, as that term is used in the Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act, to any ground or surface water in the
16.A
00092061.2
State.
i. Failure to comply with the laws, regulations and policies described in this Section is a violation of law that may subject Vendor or City to penalties, fines, or additional regulatory requirements. Vendor shall defend, indemnify and hold the City, its directors, officials, officers, employees, volunteers and agents free and harmless, pursuant to the indemnification provisions of this Agreement, from and against any and all fines, penalties, claims or other regulatory requirements imposed as a result of Vendor’s non-compliance with the laws, regulations and policies described in this section, unless such non-compliance is the result of the sole established negligence, willful misconduct or active negligence of the City, its officials, officers, agents, employees or authorized volunteers. ii. In addition to any other standard of care requirements set forth in this Agreement, Vendor warrants that all employees and subcontractors shall have sufficient skill and experience to perform the Services assigned to them without impacting water quality in violation of the laws, regulations and policies described in this section.
Vendor further warrants that it, its employees and subcontractors will receive adequate training, as determined by City, regarding the requirements of the laws, regulations and policies described in this section as they may relate to the Services provided under this Agreement. Upon request, City will provide Vendor with a list of training programs that meet the requirements of this paragraph.
SECTION 14. PREVAILING WAGE LAWS
(a) Vendor is aware of the requirements of California Labor Code Section 1720, et seq., and 1770, et seq., as well as California Code of Regulations, Title 8, Section 16000, et seq., (“Prevailing Wage Laws”), which require the payment of prevailing wage rates and the performance of other requirements on “public works” and “maintenance” projects. Since the Services are being performed as part of an applicable “public works” or “maintenance” project, as defined by the Prevailing Wage Laws, and since the total compensation is one-thousand dollars ($1,000) or more, Vendor agrees to fully comply with such Prevailing Wage Laws. City shall provide Vendor with a copy of the prevailing rates of per diem wages in effect at the commencement of this Agreement.
Vendor shall make copies of the prevailing rates of per diem wages for each craft, classification or type of worker needed to execute the Services available to interested parties upon request, and shall post copies at the Vendor’s principal place of business and at the project site. Vendor shall defend, indemnify and hold the City, its elected officials, officers, employees and agents free and harmless from any claim or liability arising out of any failure or alleged failure to comply with the Prevailing Wage Laws. It is the intent of the Parties to effectuate the requirements of sections 1771, 1774, 1775, 1776, 1777.5, 1813, and 1815 of the Labor Code within this Agreement, and Vendor shall therefore comply with such Labor Code sections to the fullest extent required by law.
16.A
00092061.2
(b) Since the Services are being performed as part of an applicable “public works” or “maintenance” project, then pursuant to Labor Code Sections 1725.5 and 1771.1, the Vendor and all subcontractors must be registered with the Department of Industrial Relations (“DIR”). Vendor shall maintain registration for the duration of this Agreement and require the same of any subcontractor. This Agreement may also be subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the DIR. It shall be Vendor’s sole responsibility to comply with all applicable registration and labor compliance requirements.

Vendor and subcontractors shall comply with the provisions of the Fair Employment and Housing Act (Gov. Code, § 12900 et seq.) and the applicable regulations promulgated thereunder (Cal. Code of Regs, tit. 2, § 7285.0 et seq.). The applicable regulations of the Fair Employment and Housing Commission implementing Government Code, § 12990 (a)-(f), are incorporated into this Agreement by reference and made a part hereof as set for in full (Cal. Code of Regs, tit. 2, § 7285.0, et seq.). Vendor shall include the non-discrimination and compliance provisions of this section in all subcontracts to perform work under this Agreement.
SECTION 16. SAFETY
Vendor shall execute and maintain its work so as to avoid injury or damage to any person or property. In carrying out its Services, the Vendor shall at all times be in compliance with all applicable local, state and federal laws, rules and regulations, and shall exercise all necessary precautions for the safety of employees appropriate to the nature of the work and the conditions under which the work is to be performed. Safety precautions as applicable shall include, but shall not be limited to:
i. Adequate life protection and lifesaving equipment and procedures; ii. Instructions in accident prevention for all employees and subcontractors, such as safe walkways, scaffolds, fall protection ladders, bridges, gang planks, confined space procedures, trenching and shoring, equipment and other safety devices, equipment and wearing apparel as are necessary or lawfully required to prevent accidents or injuries; and iii. Adequate facilities for the proper inspection and maintenance of all safety measures.
SECTION 17. ACCOUNTING RECORDS
Vendor shall maintain complete and accurate records with respect to all costs and expenses incurred under this Agreement. All such records shall be clearly identifiable. Vendor shall allow a representative of City during normal business hours to examine, audit, and make transcripts or copies of such records and any other documents created pursuant to this
16.A
00092061.2
Agreement. Vendor shall allow inspection of all work, data, documents, proceedings, and activities related to the Agreement for a period of three (3) years from the date of final payment under this Agreement.
SECTION 18. DISPUTES
Should any dispute arise respecting the true value of any work done, of any work omitted, or of any Additional Work which Vendor may be required to do, or respecting the size of any payment to Vendor during the performance of this Agreement, Vendor shall continue to perform while said dispute is decided by the City. If Vendor disputes the City’s decision, Vendor shall have such remedies as may be provided by law. City reserves the right to employ other vendors in connection with the Goods and/or Services provided under this Agreement.
SECTION 19. INDEMNIFICATION
(a) To the fullest extent permitted by law, Vendor shall indemnify, protect, defend (with legal counsel reasonably acceptable to City) and hold harmless City and any and all of its elected and appointed officials, officers, employees, representatives and agents (“Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all claims, actions and proceedings (whether at law or equity, administrative or judicial), demands, orders, judgments, losses, injuries (including, without limitation, injury to or death of an employee of Vendor or subcontractors), liabilities of every kind (including, without limitation, incidental and consequential damages, court costs, and litigation expenses, and fees of expert consultants or expert witnesses incurred in connection therewith and cost of investigation), damages, costs and expenses, including attorney’s fees and costs, (collectively "Claims") that arise out of, pertain to, or relate to, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, the Goods and/or Services provided by Vendor, its officers, agents, employees, representatives, subcontractors, anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of them, or anyone that they control. Vendor’s duty to indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless Indemnified Parties, shall not include any Claims arising from the sole negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Parties. (b) Vendor agrees to obtain executed indemnity agreements with provisions identical to those set forth here in this section from each and every sub consultant, subcontractor or any other person or entity involved by, for, with or on behalf of Vendor in the performance of this Agreement naming the Indemnified Parties as additional indemnitees. In the event Vendor fails to obtain such indemnity obligations from others as required here, Vendor agrees to be fully responsible according to the terms of this section. Failure of City to monitor compliance with these requirements imposes no additional obligations on City and will in no way act as a waiver of any rights hereunder.

Webb & Associates a Professional Services Agreement in an Amount Not to Exceed $247,336 for CIP 5706 – Esplanade Avenue Improvements and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute All Documents Related to the Agreement and Authorize Additional Expenditures of up to 10% of the Agreement Amount if Necessary, and Authorize the Administrative Services Director to Record a Supplemental Appropriation of $72,070 from Fund 329 – DIF Streets to CIP 5706.
BACKGROUND:
Esplanade Avenue between Warren Road and State Street is identified in the Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF) Nexus Study, 2016 Update, as a Regional System of the Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee Program. The street is located within the Hemet/San Jacinto Zone and is designated as an ultimate four lane roadway. This 3.53 mile segment of Esplanade Avenue has a maximum TUMF share of $10,587,000, with $1,900,000 currently programed for the south side improvements of Esplanade Avenue within the City of Hemet jurisdiction between Warren Road and Sanderson Avenue. This project is identified in the City’s capital improvement program as CIP No. 5706.
On January 30, 2024, the City and WRCOG entered into an agreement for the reimbursement of TUMF funds for the design of the Esplanade Avenue south side improvements between Warren Road and Sanderson Avenue in the amount of $200,000.
16.D
ANALYSIS:
On January 9, 2024, a request for proposal (RFP) for the design of Esplanade Avenue was issued and 358 vendors were notified on Planet Bids. On February 8, 2024, the City received five responsive proposals from the following firms:
1.Albert A. Webb Associates
2.CASC Engineering and Consulting
3.Onward Engineering
4.TKE Engineering, Inc.
5.Wildan Engineering
DISCUSSION:
City staff used the evaluation criteria detailed in the Request for Proposal (RFP) to rank the five proposals received and the results found Albert A. Webb Associates to be the most qualified firm with the best overall value to the City for the design of Esplanade Avenue – CIP 5706. Staff evaluated not only the cost proposals, but the services and potential design solutions presented in the proposals.
Since this area is prone to flooding due to lack of storm drain systems, and an earthen drainage ditch exists adjacent to the roadway for a portion of the project, solutions related to drainage were taken into account in order to ensure that the existing flooding conditions are addressed to the maximum extent feasible.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
On January 30, 2024 Council approved the agreement between the City and WRCOG for the reimbursement of TUMF funds for the design of Esplanade Avenue improvements in the amount of $200,000.
STRATEGIC PLAN INTEGRATION:
GOAL ONE: QUALITY OF LIFE:
To ensure that Hemet is safe, clean, attractive and comfortable for all who live, work, and visit.
Objective 1: Enhance the visual appearance of the community to make it attractive and reduce blight.
Objective 2: Explore and implement homelessness solutions for the City of Hemet.
Objective 3: Increase Public Safety visibility and response.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The total amount requested for the design of Esplanade Avenue (CIP 5706) is $247,336 plus $24,734 (10%) if necessary. CIP 5706 will utilize $200,000 of TUMF reimbursement from WRCOG per the agreement and $72,070 is requested from Fund 329 – DIF Streets.
There is no General Fund impact. Staff is requesting a supplemental appropriation of $72,070 from Fund 329 – DIF Streets to fund the design costs of the project. Fund 329 has a current balance of $1,915,656.76.

Project Location: Palm Springs, CA
Completion Dates: 2021-2024
The Perris Valley Master Drainage Plan was adopted in 1987. Since that time, developments and other constraints have necessitated the realignment to much of Lateral B. To address the issues and constraints associated with the MDP alignment of Lateral B, the March Joint Powers Authority and the District collaborated on the appropriate alignment that considers the need of March Air Reserve Base (MARB).
Through that process the alignment of Lateral B was moved from the west side of I-215 to the east side of I-215. The downstream segment of Lateral B is constructed from Heacock Street to the Perris Valley Storm Drain.
WEBB is providing the District with design and construction bidding assistance for the Stage 4 segment of Lateral B that will extend from the existing downstream facility at Heacock Street, extend across and adjacent to the March Air Reserve Base, and tie into the downstream end of the VIP-215 Segment of Lateral B. The completion of the Stage 4 segment of Lateral B will provide needed protection to MARB and will also allow for lateral connections to undeveloped properties in the City of Perris.

WEBB was responsible for reviewing the current hydrological model, analyzing potential alternative models, and working with the County and the City of Perris to decide the best option based on the current Master Drainage Plan. This project consisted of preparation of conceptual drawings for the Master Plan addressing all key elements such as floodplain management, flood control features, environmental preservation, development opportunities, effects on regional infrastructure, right-of-way requirements, and order of magnitude cost.
WEBB worked directly with the County and the City of Perris to prepare a Master Plan Report, coordinate with all stakeholders, and present all findings to the Advisory Board with recommendations for the next steps (i.e., MSHCP compliance, CEQA strategy, land development constraints, and floodplain management).

5 Project Understanding and Approach
The City of Hemet (City) seeks proposals for professional engineering services to design a sidewalk on the south side of Esplanade Avenue between Warren Road and Sanderson Avenue. The engineering services will also include studies/reports and plans for drainage infrastructure.
The north side of Esplanade Avenue is in the City of San Jacinto Boundary, while the south is in the City of San Jacinto Boundary. According to both cities’ general plans, Esplanade Avenue is a four-lane roadway. The City of San Jacinto has prepared Esplanade Avenue Street Improvement Plans and proposed to shift the centerline to the north to have three lanes north of the existing centerline, and one lane south of the centerline. Existing SCE transmission and distribution poles are located on the south side. Shifting the centerline to the north will eliminate or reduce the relocation of poles.
It appears the existing south side of Esplanade Avenue along the residential tract is improved, ultimately using the existing centerline. WEBB will prepare a preliminary geometrics layout for the roadway with pavement and lane transitions and adequate turn pockets.
In response to the City’s needs and the project’s complexity, WEBB has assembled an experienced team of design experts for the street drainage and utility coordination elements. For this contract, WEBB has assigned Dilesh Sheth, PE, TE, to serve as Principal-In-Charge, handling all contractual matters and acting as a watchman for the client’s satisfaction. The WEBB Team includes the exceptionally skilled drainage expert Joseph Caldwell, PE, CPSWQ, CPESC, CFM, who has prepared the Master Drainage Plan for the City of San Jacinto. WEBB Engineer, Sara Daneshvar, will serve as project manager and maintain direct and continued responsibility for all services provided under the duration of this contract. Sara will be the City’s primary contact for all project-related matters and will manage and oversee all day-to- day activities throughout project completion.
The WEBB Team has the project experience and local knowledge to support the City’s successful completion of the project. Our team is highly experienced with projects of this nature, knows how to quickly resolve issues, and can get projects completed on time and within budget. The WEBB Team recently completed the Herbert Hoover Sidewalk Improvements Project, the Carver Tract Sidewalk Improvement Project, El Nido Phase 1 and Phase 2 Projects, and the Oleander Street Sidewalk Improvement Project.
Scope of Services
1. Project management and coordination
WEBB will plan, organize, direct, and monitor project work activities and resources by the contract scope, schedule, and budget. This task includes ongoing general project management with the City, sub-consultants, and stakeholders, including preparing contract paperwork, memos, letters, emails, phone calls, and maintaining project files. This activity commences after receipt of the Notice-to-Proceed and continues through the submission of the project’s final deliverables.
1.2 Meetings and Schedule
WEBB will schedule and attend meetings in the planning phase as follows:
a. Kick-off meeting including sub-consultants and agencies b. Project Development Team (PDT) meetings – Assumed six
16.D
6 WEBB will schedule, chair, and prepare meeting agendas and meeting minutes. The agendas will be submitted to the City for review one working day before the meeting. The minutes will be distributed to all attendees, everyone invited, and the City’s project manager within five working days after the meeting. The minutes shall include, but not be limited to a list of attendees with phone numbers and contact email, a summary of discussion items, any pertinent information, action items, and follow-up to action items.
WEBB will prepare project schedules for the three phases utilizing Microsoft Project. The project schedules will be divided into tasks and subtasks in full detail, including, but not limited to the City function timeline, critical path, and outside sources such as agencies or utilities.
1.3 Coordination with Sub-consultants and Agencies
WEBB will coordinate the ongoing projects with the cities, sub-consultants, and other agencies. We will maintain project files and prepare memos, letters, emails, and any other communication necessary to manage the project.
2. Aerial and Field Topo Survey and Survey Base File
Per Addendum No. 5 dated 1/30/2024, the City will provide topographic survey. WEBB will review the survey files and advise the City whether additional survey is needed.
3. Utility Coordination
3.1 Data Compilation/Site Visit
Record request forms will be sent to all utility owners requesting as-built facilities and available record drawings. Upon compiling as-built information from utility owners, WEBB will conduct a site visit to identify all existing improvements shown on the as-builts to verify their accuracy and note facilities, such as manholes and valves identified in the as-built plans, but not visible in the field. These conditions will be flagged and sent to our project survey team.
Additionally, follow-up discussions with utility owners will occur for these cases if past improvement projects are inadvertently paved over the manhole/valve covers.
3.2 Utility Conflict Mapping and Utility Adjustment/Relocation Coordination WEBB will utilize as-built data and maps obtained from the utility companies to prepare existing utility base mapping and identify all utilities on the plans within the project limits. The utility mapping developed for the PS&E will be verified through topographic surveys.
A Utility Conflict Matrix will be developed to record the findings and begin coordinating with the utility owners. WEBB will provide the City with all correspondence/communication efforts upon completion of the final design.
WEBB will call the utility companies as necessary until each potentially conflicting utility receives a written response form. WEBB will Identify all known utilities that potentially conflict with the planned project improvements and determine special requirements for facilities, including protection, relocation, right-of-way easements, and construction and will coordinate with utility companies to schedule the relocation of the utilities before the start of construction.
3.3 Utility Potholing
Potholing will be performed to locate utilities that pose potential conflicts with proposed drainage facilities. Our potholing sub-consultant will identify the depths, material type, and size of known critical facilities. Upon completion of all pothole services, the project survey team will be notified to field survey each potholed location. It is assumed a maximum of five potholes will be performed for this project and are included in the scope of work.
4. Geotechnical Analysis
WEBB will coordinate with the City’s geotechnical consultant for the existing and proposed pavement structural section, soil conditions, trench, and grading requirements.
16.D
7 5. Drainage Assessment and Water Quality
As part of the existing conditions runoff analysis, WEBB will determine the 100-Year and 10-Year flow rates that are currently tributary to the street. 60, 90, and 100% design drawings will assume the facility will be part of street plans or part of City of San Jacinto Project. Additional assumptions include:
• San Jacinto Valley MDP facilities (Line A-1 and Line X) will not be constructed with this project • Drainage will be coordinated with the City of San Jacinto and discharges will be through a joint facility onto properties to the north
• Runoff from existing Dairy is self-contained and not tributary to this project • No Plats and Legals required (All improvements in Public R/W) R/W from Record • Contractor to prepare SWPPP/or WPCP if under an acre
Deliverables
• Draft and Final Hydrologic & Hydraulic Study

• Draft and Final Specifications
• Draft with 90% and Final with 100%
6. Street, Drainage and Sidewalk Improvement Plans
a. WEBB will provide a design drawing with each submittal for City review along with the previous redlined marked- up prints. The design drawings will be as complete as possible before plan checking is considered to reduce the number of plan checks required, and related costs to City Submittals shall be 65%, 95%, and 100% design level. b. Design drawings will clearly show what elements will be removed, added, and adjusted in the project area.
Existing structures that could be affected by the new construction, such as surface improvements, curb and gutter, sidewalk, curb ramps, driveway approach, fences, mailboxes, manholes, power poles, service cabinets/ boxes, and other obstructions will be shown in a halftone or dashed background format to distinguish them from the new improvements proposed for the project.
c. Proposed street improvements (roadway widening, roadway reconstruction, curb & gutter, sidewalk, ADA ramps, driveway, chain-link fence, etc.), or structure adjustments (manhole, service cabinets/boxes), relocations, reconstructions, and modifications shall be shown in full tone of highlighted with appropriate construction note, detail reference, or standard plan reference indemnified. Curb ramps, driveways, and sidewalk within project limits shall be upgraded to comply with the latest ADA standards. d. WEBB will arrange construction with the ‘protect-in-place’ notes first, ‘removal’ notes second, and actual work notes last. Notes of like work should be grouped so they can be easily referenced and understood. e. WEBB will identify trees, landscaping, grass areas, ornamental items, gates, block walls, and irrigation within proposed improvement areas that need to be protected in place, removed, or relocated. No detailed drawings or plans will be prepared for landscaping, grass areas, ornamental items, gates, block walls, and irrigation items. f. The Construction Documents will be based on City Standards. The construction documents will be submitted at 65%, 95%, and 100% completion levels. Final drawing dimensions will be 22-inches wide and 34-inches long on a standard City title block. The final drawings will consist of a complete set of documents, which include information necessary for prospective bidders to comprehend and bid on the work. The drawings will be stamped by a professional engineer licensed in the State of California.
7. Signing & Striping Plans
Signing and striping plans shall be prepared on a 1”-40’ scale. The plans will demonstrate existing/proposed striping, pavement legends, crosswalks, and sign type/locations, and include general/construction notes and all other ancillary details required to complete the geometric alignment improvements. The signing and striping plans will conform with Caltrans Standard Plans and Specifications, CAMUTCD standards, and the City’s current design standards.
16.D
8 8. Street Light Location Plans
Improving night-time collisions is one of the primary emphasis areas identified in the Caltrans Local Roadway Safety Plan. Roadway lighting is the primary method/strategy to enhance the visibility of pedestrians, people on bicycles, and vehicle conflict locations. Street lighting is proposed throughout the corridors, increasing ground illuminance at potential conflict points (intersections, major driveways, areas shared by bicycles and motor vehicles, etc.) to enhance nighttime roadway visibility. Street light locations will be coordinated with existing/proposed tree locations to ensure the maximum light reaches the roadway surface.
9. Specifications
The City will provide WEBB with its boilerplate Specifications and Technical Provisions in Microsoft Word format.
WEBB will be compiling the project specifications, including the project-specific scope of work in the technical specifications, and providing special technical provisions beyond the City’s standard technical provisions. With each submittal, WEBB will provide bid schedule, special provision, and technical specifications. The specifications shall be signed by a WEBB civil engineer, registered in the state of California, as complete and ready for bidding purposes and awarding contracts for construction for the improvements.
10. Engineer’s Construction Cost Estimate

San Jacinto River Stage 3 Master Drainage Plan, Riverside County Flood Control & Water Conservation District (District) - Joseph served as Project Manager for the WEBB Team responsible for reviewing the current hydrological model, analyzing potential alternative models, and working with the District to decide the best option based for the current Master Drainage Plan. This project consisted of preparation of conceptual drawings for the Master Plan addressing all key elements such as floodplain management, flood control features, environmental preservation, development opportunities, effects on regional infrastructure, right- of-way requirements, and order of magnitude cost. WEBB worked directly with the District to prepare the planning study, coordinated with all stakeholders, and presented all findings to the Advisory Board with recommendations for the next steps (i.e., MSHCP compliance, CEQA strategy, land development constraints, and floodplain management). WEBB is currently working on the final MDP and EIR for the District.
Heacock Channel Design Project, March Joint Powers Authority - Joseph served as the Project Manager for Phase 3 of the Heacock Channel Design Project for the March Joint Powers Authority. The project included the preparation of final improvement plans, traffic control plans, and a hydrology and hydraulic report for approximately 3,600-LF of the channel. The project extends from Lateral A of the Perris Valley Storm Drain north along Heacock Avenue to the southern end of an existing land fill. WEBB’s services also included project management and coordination throughout the duration of the project including attendance at project design team meetings, quality control services, and all other processing of improvement for necessary project approvals.
Hemet MDP Line C, Stage 4, County of Riverside Flood Control and Water Conservation District - Joseph was the Project Manager for the Hemet MDP Line C, Stage 4 Project. The extension of the Hemet MDP Line C was an important component
16.D
14 to provide surface flooding relief and flood protection of a predominately developed portion of the City of Hemet. The extension of the Hemet MDP Line C was an important component to provide surface flooding relief and flood protection of a predominately developed portion of the City of Hemet. This segment of the Master Plan Facility represents the middle one third of the entire Line C System. The critical component of this project was implementing a master planned facility in a highly urbanized area of the City extremely constrained by multiple utilities. WEBB completed a Preliminary Design Report that outlined the most feasible alignment for this facility. WEBB is currently preparing final design plans and specifications for this backbone drainage facility.
Wildwood Creek Basin, City of Yucaipa (City) - Joseph served as the Project Manager for design of a multi-purpose watershed basin in Wildwood Creek in the City of Yucaipa. WEBB provided engineering services that accommodated the critical needs of the City. This project is located in the middle of a major watercourse. The watershed tributary to the project is over 4,000 acres and the creek is designated on the Flood Insurance Rate Map by FEMA. The City’s goal was to reduce the peak flow utilizing a series of detention basins that in turn will reduce peak flow rates downstream and reduce the burden on those downstream facilities. This reduction in peak flow rates was accomplished through the removal of sediment/debris load and the attenuation of peak flooding through the use of the proposed basins. In addition to providing flood control benefits, this project also provided certain environmental and water quality benefits. To do this, the flood control facilities were developed in such a manner so the construction preserves riparian vegetation, where possible, and implements other measures for environmental and water quality impacts. In order to accomplish this, WEBB reviewed the conceptual design and provided a more precise analysis of the level of flood control protection the basins will provide. WEBB also prepared detailed hydrologic, hydraulic, and sediment transport models to determine the peak runoff rates, flood volume, and debris load.
North Indio Regional Flood Control Channel Project, Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD) - Joseph is the Technical Lead for the North Indio Regional Flood Control Channel Project which is a key component of the CVWD flood protection mission in the Coachella Valley. The project will complete the link between existing flood control facilities in the north Indio area, providing increased flood protection for the region. The project consists of over three miles of concrete lined trapezoidal and rectangular channels, including numerous culvert crossings of existing and future streets. To date, WEBB has prepared the hydraulic analysis, preliminary design, and environmental documentation for the project. WEBB is currently in the process of preparing the final design plans, specifications, and estimates. WEBB is also responsible for preparing the CLOMR and providing public outreach and right-of-way acquisition services.
University Wash Channel, Riverside County Flood Control & Water Conservation District - Joseph was Technical Lead for the University Wash Storm Drain Project including the planning, analysis, and design of a large diameter master plan storm drain that connects existing upstream and downstream facilities together. This project was unique in that the 2,450 LF - 90-inch RCP required for this project had to be designed to maneuver its way through a developed industrial corridor of the City. Key to this project was the coordination with local businesses to ensure construction of the storm drain minimized impacts to business operations.
Bedford Wash Channel, Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District - Joseph is the Project Manager for the Bedford Wash Channel upstream on the McMillan Property. Services provided included finalizing the 30% design, preparation of all necessary studies, and designs for the final construction drawings, preparation and processing of the Cooperative Agreement and Agency approvals as well as providing on-going coordination with the overall project team during the design of the overall project and with the environmental consultant to assist with obtaining any regulatory permits associated with the channel construction. WEBB provided three iterations of channel design from the point the project was secured, when it was a completely lined concrete channel. Through WEBB’s recommendation, the project stakeholders strategically selected to move toward transitioning the channel to a soft bottom.

COMPANY BACKGROUND
CASC Engineering and Consulting, Inc. (CASC), a California S corporation, was established in 1993 (28 years ago) to provide professional consulting services to a variety of industry sectors. CASC has more than 75 professionals currently operating out of five offices in Southern California, with the majority of our staff living in San Bernardino and Riverside Counties. CASC was formed to provide professional consulting services to a variety of industry sectors, including: city, county, and state government agencies; public and private utilities; districts, including flood control districts, special districts and school districts; private enterprise; and industry.
STABILITY
CASC is a mid-sized consulting firm that combines the personal touch of a small firm, with the stability of the large publicly -traded consulting conglomerates. Our entrepreneurial spirit and commitment to innovation have allowed us to maintain a competitive cost structure, and offer superior services managed by our talented local labor force. Our diverse portfolio of services offered has allowed us to maintain stability even through rough economic conditions. Our multi ‐year, multi‐ million dollar contracts with Caltrans, and Southern California Edison, among others, demonstrates our ability to weather past recessions and to see your projects through to completion. For nearly 30 years, CASC has supported government agencies in Inland Southern California.
LOCAL FIRM - LOCAL FUNDS
With our corporate office located in Colton, we will provide the City with efficient support services, eliminating the extra travel time and logistical challenges associated with Los Angeles and Orange County consultants. We will utilize top -notch local labor whose families live, work, play, and go to school in the region, ensuring that the project funds are circulated and re-circulated in the area. According to Inland Empire economist, John Husing, “a dollar earned by a worker turns over seven times before it leaves town ”, which means that every $50,000 in services provided by CASC will provide a $350,000 boost to the local economy.
CLIENT SATISFACTION/REPUTATION OF FIRM
The best testimony to the quality of CASC ’s services is demonstrated by what our current and past clients say about our work and by our renewal of annual contracts. Our on -going work for organizations such as the County of San Bernardino Department of Public Works, Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District, City of Montclair, City of Redlands, City of Highland, and California Department of Transportation, exemplifies our commitment and expertise, and for that reason we encourage discussions with our references listed under our References section.

Deliverables: Agenda, updated schedules, meeting minutes, and various supporting documents.
I. SURVEY AND MAPPING
B. UTILITY RESEARCH
CASC will coordinate with utility companies and agencies to obtain drawings/information for existing utilities within the project area. Utilities will be plotted on the project base map.
C. RESEARCH AND BASE MAPPING
CASC will perform research and review of the existing survey documentation associated with the project site. Research will include obtaining record information (tract maps, parcel maps, records of surveys) through County of Riverside Survey Office. CASC will calculate and establish the record project boundary based upon record information obtained from the County of Riverside Survey office. The base map will include the existing street centerlines, existing right of ways and property lines. CASC will prepare a digital base map.
D. LEGAL DESCRIPTION AND PLAT
CASC will Prepare up to five (5) legal descriptions and plats as directed by the City of Hemet.
II. TECHNICAL STUDIES
E. DRAINAGE ANALYSIS
The Project site has been included and analyzed in the Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District Master Drainage Plan (MDP) for the San Jacinto Valley, Zone 4. See figure below. Based on the Master Plan, there are multiple storm drain facilities including RCPs, RCBs, open channels, and basins proposed to accept runoff from the area encompassing the project site and convey runoff northerly, ultimately to the San Jacinto River. However, it appears these facilities do not currently exist based on the MDP, precluding the potential for connection.

Upon further research, although the project site is located within FEMA Zone X (non -shaded), Area of Minimal Flood Hazard, and outside the 0.2% annual chance floodplain, it appears the project site and surrounding area experiences intermittent ponding/flooding under the existing condition.
Based on the above desktop understanding of the project site, surrounding area, and MDP, Casc performed a field visit during the preparation of this proposal, intentionally during a storm event, to observe the existing drainage pattern, site condition, and potential design considerations. The area of interest comprised the entire project site along Esplanade Avenue between Sanderson Street and Warren Street. We noted a majorly “flat” project site with areas of considerable flooding within the street and parkways along both sides of Esplanade Avenue. See figure below. Runoff along the south side of the street appeared to drain westerly toward Warren Road where observed flows discharged to the basin associated with the existing Stoney Mountain Ranch development. However, runoff within the street east of the above development along undeveloped frontages was ponded significantly. Areas on the north side were also ponded, but we observed flows slowly continuing westerly to Warren Road and ultimately into the roadside earthen swale conveying flows northerly.
Based on the above upfront research findings and field observations, Casc possesses a detailed understanding of the existing project condition and is prepared to incorporate the above drainage considerations in the proposed parkway design. Casc will perform a hydrology study and hydraulic capacity calculations for the proposed improvements. Considering the absence of the storm drain facilities identified above, proposed drainage solutions will be based on a surface flow condition to help ensure positive drainage connections to existing storm drain facilities downstream. Street capacity calculations will be based on the proposed street design and compared to the on -site flow rates estimated based on yield factors from the RCFC&WCD Master Drainage Plan. The results of the hydrology study and hydraulic capacity calculations will be used in the design of the proposed street improvements to help ensure system capacity and perpetuation of the existing drainage pattern.

This scope of work includes only the extent of hydrology and hydraulic calculations necessary to support street improvement design and does not include a drainage report or exhibit preparation. Drainage maps and calculations referenced and/or prepared as part of this effort will be provided to the City with the PS&E package for reference during review. Additional hydrology/hydraulic analyses or assessments of existing or proposed underground storm drain infrastructure may be performed at the City ’s request and approved under separate authorization.
Deliverables: Hydrology and hydraulic calculations in support of street design provided with PS&E submittals.
III. FINAL ENGINEERING
F. STREET IMPROVEMENT PLAN
Casc will prepare a street improvement plan at a scale of 1” = 40’ horizontal and 1” = 4’ vertical per City of Hemet standards for approximately 8,100 LF along Esplanade Avenue between Sanderson Street and Warren Street. The Street Improvement Plan will include the designs of the proposed right -of-way improvements along the south side of the street, such as curb and gutter, sidewalk, driveway approaches, streetlights, parkway grading, and pavement grind/overlay, as outlined in the project RFP. Pavement rehabilitation will be proposed south of the centerline of Esplanade Avenue along the improvement limits.
The plan will include plan and profile street designs per City of Hemet requirements. This scope of work also includes an estimate of quantities and costs for agency bonding purposes. Singing & Striping Plan and Erosion Control Plan sheets will be included in the Street Improvement Plan set.
